that Count Bismarck is about TO Issue a

will be severe cut, and not the less
severe because It cannot be said to be
unmerited. England's part I'm the role

THE CASE OF SENATOR VANcE.-The
New York Star says: -
The exclusion of Senator Vance from
the Senate by the refusal, thus far, to
remove his political disabilities, is an
other in the endless list of outrages for
which the Republican party has become
infamous. Congress prefers to trust the
sncaks who hadn't the courage to flgnt
upon either side, rather than those men
who, having an honest opinion, dareo ARE
to draw sword in defence of it. me
best citizens in the South, and the mos!
to be trusted in any official position, aIe
those who were in the Confederate
army. Senator. Vance was opposeu 10
the disruption Of the Union, ana gavt g5t
his voice and energies against It; But
his State having seeded, he followed
;ts M fortunes. Since the close of the war,
ho has been active in restoring order to
tho state and bringing about better
state of feeling between the discordant
Elements. % He was fairly elected, and
nv hearty vote; and his rejection by
tie Senate, if persisted in, should be
carefully noted. The strength of the
Republican party is rapidly waning, and
each fresh abuse of power swells the
ranks of the Democratic party, and
enhances the latter's prospects of success
in 1872. 81 I-.@ ~ 9. ~

GOSSIP ABOUT DIsRAEIl

Tie London correspondent of the Bos-
/ ton Advertiser writes -:
You must sit,near Mr.. Disraeli before
you discover, that he is growing old.
At a little distance he has the appear
ance of middle age; and in his oratory
he retains the peculiaries' Of his youth.
sat in O low gallery opposite to him the
other night, and for an hour; watched
his method and manner. Above all
thugs I admire the art of his tailor.
Never was there finer triumph than in
Mr.. Disraeli's g frock coat. The fit is per-
feet, butt is not the. .'fit." There is q
finish and poetry about his clothes
which escape definition. And, oh, the
'carelessness of other men! There's Mr..
Foster just opposite, with rough, cut
way coat, bob-tailed and badly, made ;
looking like q rough son of the woods.
There's Mr.. Gladstone, even, dressed
with a carelessness that would distress
the artists heart. But in the way of
dress we have had nothing for years
like the spectacle Of good, pious dis
scnter, man, of sixty, who spoke in the
House of Commons last week while
wearing. a scarlet uniform. Never in
the history Of masquerades was there
such q curious sight. The honorable
gentleman was stout, and the coat.was
alternately loose and tight. Long, ugly
ridges crossed his breast. His arms
were as If clothed in q red night-shirt,
and the ludicrous expression Of his face
made the picture complete. Returning
to the tory leader, I may remark that
his voice is clearer than it was, and the
affectations in his accentare notso appa-
rent. His popularity Is his restlessness
as to his hands. Ordinarily this is 9
mark of nervousness, but Mr., Disraeli,
one would think, is not afflicted by mis-.
cry of that description. However that
may be, he cannot keep his hands in
one position for two minutes together.
He puts them on the box which Is, on
the table before him he shuts them !;
opens them; places one in his coat pock-
ct tbehind; puts two there takes out his
handkerchief and puts it in again folds
his hands; opens them; puts his fingers
merely on table; boldly sticks his
thumbs under his at1n-pits and tosses
the collar of his coat back again drops
them at his side =, such are some
of the movements he Keeps up while de-
livering one of his set orations. An
other popularity will jot down for the
benefit of the curious in orators dis
tresses: have observed that when he
is about to say something satirical, one
of those witty phrases that rest in the
memory, and which are certainly not
the creatures Of the moment, he slightly
opens his legs and in scarcely percepti-
bic fashion bows down his body. AS
the cheers break out, his figure seems
uuickcned. If you are behind him you
notice o change Immediately. His ac-
customcd confidence d " 1ops into au-
dacity, and for a minute or TWO he ap-
pears to rule his audience. ....
