THE CONeREssI0NAL ELECTIONS.

From the ClnclnnaCl enquirer.
One of the worst results of the late cleo
tions is the probability that it restores to
Grants party more than a two-thirds ma
jority in both the House and Senate of the
United States. Here are the elements of
immense partisan mischief, especially when
we consider that the same party will have
control of three fourths of the State Legis-
latures. This gives them opportunities TO
make amendments to the Federal Consti-
tuition, which we doubt not they will i'm
prove. These amendments, if made, will
be of the most revolutionary character, and
will virtually nullify all that remains of
that government which was established in
1889. Those who think there is no danger
of dictatorship being established by Gen.
Grant should take heed of this fact, that his
friends have the power in the own hands
to give it, in the form of amendments to the
Constitution, sort of legal aspect.
This two-thirds majority has been OBJ
tanned by the throwing away OF nearly all
the Tennessee members by the Andrew
johnson split, and by the unexpected re-
verses sustained in Virginia, Georgia, Ala
bama and other States through the defec-
ton of so-called Democrats, which nOs on
ly slaughtered Mr.. Greeley but beat the
Liberal Congressman. If the present rule
of the bayonet is made permanent over
them, who will they have to blame but
themselves! Most of the Southern Grant
members of Congress are ignorant, worth
less characters, white and black, far iu-
ferior in talent and intellect to the men
who have been sent in the same interest
from the North. They are of class
who will do any thing to please the
President, without question Of what it is.
They will be the body-guards of the 3D.
ministration in Congress. Thus secure and
sustained In Congress, with the best and
most conservative as well as the most hon.
est Republicans, who have heretofore mani
tested some independence, discharged from
that body, what is there to resist or oppose
any barrier to the violence CT party, the en-
croachments of Executive power or the
march of corruptionI The next Congress
will be as devoted to Grant as the French
Chambers were to Napoleon III, or a
Roman Senate was TO the Caesars in the later
days of the Roman Empire. 1t will simply
register his behests and commands. Ii We
have a vestige of the old Constitution left
at the end of the term it will have to be at
tributed to ProvideDtial interpo3ition.

There lives in Amboy, Oswego county, a
man by the name of John Parks, whose
idea OF shaving fun" is novel, to say the
least. About three weeks since Parks was
returning from the Centre" accompanied
oy another man, both being in state well
calculated for fun. As they were opposite
the pasture Of Mr.. Kinney, Parks said to bis
comrade, ''You hold my coat if you want to
see some fun" Whereupon Parks got over
the fence into the pasture, and getting down
upon all fours proceeded toward a two-year
old bull, for the purpose of frightening him.
Taurus waited his approach with a calm
ness which Parks thought would terminate
In fight, but be was mistaken. When he
had got near enough, bis bull-ship made a
charge on Parks sitting-down place, which
he very speedily transformed into some
thing which resembled skinner. Sur
geons and tailors say it is the worst job of
repairing they have had for some time.

Parks why be was like locomotiye."-

dried up by general drought and the West.
From Dakota to Chicago, suffered more or
less from those disastrous October fires This

proposition. II the Spanish government
would set aside considerations Of
empty pride and rid itself + Of it's
rebellious colony. it would be stronger and
happier at home at the present moment To-
day we hear of the suppression Of the latest
revolt sgainss the authority of the foreign
occupant Of the Spanish throne; but to-mor-
row we may look for intelligence Of other
outbreaks within reach of Madrid Attempted
regicide. Carlist risings, republican risings,
conspiracies and plots are things Of every
day occurrence within the Spanish borders;
and yet we find troops needed at
home poured into the unhappy island Of Cuba
to butcher the people struggling only for lib
erty and free government Is this fitting
spectacle for the present century, Is 1t true
friendship to Spain to suffer such state of
affairs to continue2 The time has come for
action. The excitement Of our Presidential
campaign will soon be over. and we
must now take stand becoming q
great and powerful nation. We mean
no offence to Spain, but we must
protect the interests of our citizens and save
ourselves from dangerous and threatening
complications. The case of Mr.. Henderson
must be the last of its kind. Americans must
no longer be insulted and outraged through
the petty jealousy of proud and suspicious
Power. Spain must be made to understand
that our foreign policy has undergone
change, and that, while we are willing to re-
main on friendly terms with the Spanish and
all other governments, we propose to main
tain our own dignity and credit as o
nation. The Cuban barbarism is dis
grace to humanity-an especial scandal
to the neighboring Republic. BY the
prompt recognition of the belligerent
rights Of the struggling Cubans we shall give
assurance to the world that we intend the war
on the island shall be brought to speedy
close, and we shall then see whether the Span
ish government will be guided in its future
conduct by passion or prudence-whether it
will voluntarily part with on unwilling colony
it cannot hold or court destruction by defying
the sentiment of the American people.
