QUEEN VICrORIA.s HEALTH.

BY proclamation in the Queens name,
Parliament has been summoned to assemble
on the second day after Christmas. If ''fOr
the dispatch of business" this is six weeks
before the usual time of meeting, and may
indicate that, having a great deal of bust
ness TO transact, Gladstone is resolved not
to be stinted as to time. The proclamation,
of course, was agreed TO at a meeting of the
Privy Council,at Balmoral, presided over by
the Queen, which naturally implies that she
was 'morally" able to attend to business.
The Philadelphia Press has been looking
through its London files, and finds this an
noUncement: "The Queen gave
on Monday evening (Oct. IG)
a ball TO the tenants and ser
wants on the Balmoral, Abergeldie, and
Birkhall estates, and was present for a short
time, although her Majesty was obliged to
be carried into the room in an invalid chair"
Another item in the Court Circular is to
the effect that a few days previous the
Queen had taken a carriage drive Of nine
teen miles in the vicinity of BalmOral, but,
from a continuance of rheumatism in the
knee, had not been able to dine, as usual,
with her family and guests. 1t appears that
the same bodily ailment viii detain her in
Scotland, for the Court Circular of Oct.
20 makes the following announcement:
"The Court was TO have returned to Wind
sOr Castle about the Sd of next month, but
the continued indispoSition of the Queen
viii probably delay the royal departure from
Balmoral for a month from the present"
This means, says the Press, that the
Queen viii Christmas at Windsor. accord
ing to annual custom. That paper adds:
The presence of Victoria at the tenants
and servants ball, at Balmoral, and her
having carriage ride, which must have
occupied several hours, are circumstances
which do not warrant the suspicion that
she is more out of her mind now than She
has been since she lost her husband, adviser
and friend, nearly ten years ago. Her
grief which was what most people call ex-
travagant, certainly overthrow the balance
of her mind, but it has not yet been de-
clared, on medical authority, without
which Parliament cannot begin to discuss
the Regency question: that she is ''morally, -
IS well as physically disqualified" from
performing the routine and enormously
3aid-for functions of her office. In England,
il must be borne in mind, il is the Trimc
Minister, not the Sovereign, who governs
the country. The regal office is nominal
and formal.

LETTING OFFENDERS OFF LIGHTLY

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes, Nov. 10:
''It appears that Gen. BallOck has had his
account adjusted at the Treasury Depart
ment. Controller Brodhead, who says that
this transaction is wholly irregular, also an
nOunced that the only basis on which these
accounts could be adjusted would be to
allow the government six per cent interest
on the sum converted into bonds and de
posted by Ballock for period of eighteen
months. As the amount of bonds which
BallOCk had in the safe deposit company
aud treasury was two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, he was compelled to pay
the sum of twenty-five thousand five hun
dred dollars in addition to restoring the
bonds. The latter sum was to make good
the value Of coupons which had been
clipped
That is the way Radical offenders are
treated by the Grant administration. The
pension agent at Philadelphia was dis
covered few days ago to be a defaulter to
the amount of $4,000, but his friends made
up the deficiency and he was not prosecuted.
The Grant administration encourages these
irregularities" by letting off the offenders
so lightly.

THE elections are now over and Grant
has the following paragraph printed in his
''hand organ" the Washington Republican:
''The President is so much annoyed by
the requests received from societies for
leaves of absence for their members en-
ployed in the several Departments that in
future he would prefer not to entertain
them, and is constrained to direct that such
members viii themselves apply to their i'm
mediate official superiors for all indulgences
of that character"
He was very careful to direct that clerks
in the departments should have ample time
to 90 home and vote. That has been
done, and now he don't want to be bother
ed with these fellows.

NAPOLEON'S DESIGN IN THE LATE
WAR

In July and August, Of last year, when
the world, and especially Europe, was
watching the conduct of Bismarck and Ma
poleon, the friends of each trying to throw
the responsibility of the war upon the other,
as will be remembered by the careful reader
of the news from the seat of the war, Bis
marck accused Napoleon of Interior de-
signs upon Belgium. The idea which Bis
marck held out was that Napoleon, after
conquering the Rhine privinces from Prus-
STA, intended to annex Belgium and
as much Of Holland as Louis XIV claimed
under the treaty of Utrecht. Fierce
denial was made on the part Of the French
and their partsans, who endeayored to
trump the statement by another to the
effect that Prussia had Interior designs on
the Duchy of Luxembourg and a part of
Switzerland. These French canards have
been contradcted by the results of the war
and the treaty of Frankfort. The Germans
asked nothing of Luxembourg, and Swift
zerland has not been molested. France
was made to bear all the burdens imposed
by the war, and only French territory has
been obliged to change sovereignty. In
fact, Belgium and Holland are left stronger
and safer than ever, because, being both
German, the German Empire, now stronger
than it has been since the days of Charlie
magne, will be able to give them all the pro-
lection needful against the ambition of
France. But if Prussia is indicated against
the aspeirson of having had designs upon
Luxembourg and Switzerland, the Emperor
Napoleon is as clearly convicted of the in
tention 10 annex Belgium, of which Bis
marck accused him. Papers found in the
Tuileries are the conclusive evidences of
this point, if there were not abundant cir
cmstantial proofs to back up this positive
evidence.
In short, it is now clear to all Europe that
it was not the ambition of Prussia but that
of France which caused the war. The pro-
gramme was to attack Prussia in her PROV
inces on the left bank of the Rhine, con-
quer and occupy them, and then both Lux
embourg and Belgium would be at the
mercy of France, and King Leopold would
have had to abdicate in favor of some prince
of the Bonaparte family. WeisSenbuTg,
Worth, Gravelotte, Sedan and Metz spoiled
this nice little arrangement, and instead of
Leopold being expelled from Brussels, the
whole brood of the Corsicans were sent
whirlingout of Paris.

"THERE are men in South Carolina,
says the New York Tribune, "who are suck
ing the blood of the State; who are swim
ding the people out of tens of thousands of
dollars every year. There are men in Co
lumbia who have grown suddenly rich by
stealing. They publish the fact to the
world by sporting gay equipageS and living
like princes" Grant is helping these office
holders by bounding the people with his
soldiers and arresting them upon the secret
evidence of negroes, some of them con-
victed of high crimes. That's the way
Grant lets us have peace.

IN a recent speech in Baltimore, Gov.
Whyte, of Maryland, said truly: "Peace
was Grants promise to the South, but
cruel and relentless war was in his heart.
He can send the peaceful followers of Penn
with words of gentleness, soft as mothers
smiles, to the red men of the forest, but he
knows no law of kindness for his white
brethren at the South"

'MoNEY to loan on st. Louis real estate,

st. Louis papers. How much money could
be borrowed in Nashville, or Memphis, or
any other town in Tennessee, ''on real es-

Louis has money to loan on real estate, the
best of security? Because the interest
laws of Missouri have been more liberal
than those of Tennessee. We have at last

Such is the heading of the leading edito-
rial of the last issue of the Memphis DIP
peal which has been received. The whole
purpose, seemingly, of this article, like the
most of those which have preceded it from
the same pen, since the publication of the
message of the Governor, is to injure in
public estimation the Recommendations of
His Excellency, and advance the peculiar
views of the Memphis Appeal and its
especial adherents. Whether tha Governor
and the majority of the Legislature viii
bow to the ukase of the appeal Syndicate
or stand by the Constitution and laws of
the State and the public veal, are ques-
tons yet to be determined. We believe
that the Governor and the Legislature will
stand firmly by the people, despite the
threats of the appeal. All that we and the
popular voice ask is that justice be done.
If the Appeal succeeds, and Gov. Brown
and the Democracy be submerged, we shall
feel some consolation in going down in a
good cause with glorious standard bearer.
We shall feel like exclaiming to the Democ-
racy ofcther States, in the language ofthe ex-
piring Lawrence, 'Dont give up the ship
State Credit, State Honor, the Rights
and Interests Of the People are the watch
words Of the Democracy. Stand firm.

James G. Blair was elected TO Con
gress from Missouri, as liberal Re-
publican, but on reaching Washing.
ton, he found tho organization of that
party in the hands of mon with whom
ho had nothing in common. He dis
coyered tha. the majority were pedg-
cd TO support of the existing tariff,
in favorof extravagant expenditures
and so bitterly hostile to the people
of the South, that they crammcd the
negro Congressman, Elliot, with n
speech and set him up to abuse the
whites. Consistency and fidelity to
tho principles he had enunciatcd to
his canvass, prevented Mr.. Blair from
acting with the Republican party, and
so he left their ranks and came over
TO the Democrats. In letter an
nouncing this change, he says;
Elected as liberal Republican, and
pledged to tariff for revenues, and
against protection, and for full amnes-
ty and removal Of all disabilities inn
posed upon those engaged in the late
rebellion, placed me in condition
where could not be governed BY u
majority vote in the caucus meetings
of the Republican party upon those
subjects, and nj tho first meeting which
/ attended, / SO announced to the
cnucus. Objections were made to my
remaining in the caucus, as | was OPP
posed to all of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the party, and could not be
bound by the action of the majority.
Upon reflection | came to tho con
clusion that, as there was no agree
ment between my views and the views
of the majority of the caucus upon
those questions or measures, no good
could result from my participaung-in
the caucus, and, hence, | withdrew.
To yield to majority in tho caucus
would be but surrendering everything
to the protectionists, and TO those who
seem to think the continued humilia-
tion and degradation of the white
people of the South the strongest bond
of union and communion in the Repub.
lican party This ! could not do
without a violation of the pledges |
made during my canvass.
If the Republican party has no
higher, nobler, nor moro exalted a
mission, aim, and purpose, than the
taxing of the people of the West for
the benefit of the aristocrats and mon
opolists Of the East, and the continued
degradation and humiliation Of the
white people of the South, then ]
must confess that | am at loss to
see how myself and my liberal Repub.
lican friends in my districts, who ngree
with me in sentiments can consistently
longer affiliate or act with it.
Respectfully yours.
