The question then drifted into the
New York general order business, which
was debated at length by Messrs. Schurz,
Harlan (Rep., Iowa) and Sherman (Rep.
Ohio).
Mr.. Schurz fually said ait has been
said that am on the point of going over
to the Democrats Let me set at rest
the souls of those who make that sug-
gestion. l shall not 90 over to the Dem
ocrats. have never thought of going
over to the Democrats aud | do not
thihk of it now. But what I do think
is this, that there will be an opportunity
of opposing the re election of the Pres
ident without voting for Democratic
candidate. | think that there will be an
opportunity of voting for as good a Re
publican as there is on this floor, with
out voting for Gen. Grant" Applause
in the galleries
The presiding officer directed the ser
geant at arms to arrest the persons who
applauded.
The people, he (Schurz) said, were
grateful to Gen. Grant for the capture of
Vicksburg and other places, but they
we're still more thankful that Vicksburg
and those places were no longer to be
captured: and what they wanted now
was free, honest and pure government.

The latest dispatches from Mexico in
dicate series of almost fatal disasters
from the Juarist Government. If we
could receive them as entirely accurate
We should have little hope Of the perma-
nence OF the present Government. But
these dispatches are evidently colored by
hostility of Juarez, and it is possible that
he may still weather this storm, as he
has many others. Two curious rumors
are afoat; Que that Juarez is about to re-
sign the Presidency in favor of Majia
the Minister of War, al the other that
General Grant has offered to sustain
President Juarez in power as a last re-
sort The Mexicans who believe in this
arrangement think the time has come to put
ii in execution.

We publish on our first page, the ar
rangement of the Congressional Districts
of this State. as reported by the com-
rnittee to the Legislature, and which will
no doubt be adopted. The Louisville
Commercial (RadicaD compliments the
fairness of the apportionment. The ar
raugement gives the Republicans one
District, and pretty good show for two.
The First District loses two counties,
Caldwell and Webster.

Cincinnati has been laboring for sever
al years to get the southern railroad bill
through the Legislature, and now that
she has at length succeeded she does not
know what TO do with it. Those who
read the lengthy report of the proceed

The RegLnning OF ahe Campaign.


Though no national party convention
has met, the Presidential campaign may
be said to have fairly begun. The de-
bate in the Senate on the question of the
sale af arms to the French during the
Franco-Prussiau war has done the
business.
The friends of the Administration did
all they could to avoid this discussion,
for they seem to have had pretty good
idea from the first how it would result it

however, to give in in spite of every
obstacle they we're able to interpose
Senator Schurz, deeming that the time
had come when the issue must be made,
brought his eloquent aud iucisive rheto

and Upton, to say nothing of Sumner,
proved much more than match for
Morton. Conkling and the rest of the
Administration Senators. They have
fully succeeded in doing what they IN
tended to DO, arraying against Grant all
such as are for the honest, pure and con
stitutional administration Of our national
