ALTERATIONS OF GREAT INTELLEcT.-Mr.
Swinton, upon whose antics as a Communist
we commented lightly, was actually hurled
by our touch clear away into the cloud region,
at which remote and difficult height we are
invited TO contemplate him anew. Here is
his latest question: May ask you to tell
me how you know what am, and when and
why I became what you say am and how
can get proof that am what am said to
be? and which of the several things you
think me to be really ann and what either
of the things you think am is and how can
procure such evidence as would be satisfac-
tory to Aristotle or Kant that the thing you
think am is actually the thing you think il
20 be?" Goodness gracious Is this wha

it is true, but it seems evident that the House
is not disposed to pass this sweeping radical
and disturbing measure. The Senate is weA
pleased, probably, that it's bill has mat with
obstacles in the House, for we have littls
doubt that some Of the Senators who voted for
it for the sake Of party consistency would
rather not have it become law. The bill il

social and political trouble and disorganixa-

meeting Vienna was sorely troubled with
the disease last year when the Universal Ex-

tributed in greater degree to the failure Of
the Exposition than the presence of the cpl

are naturally much interested in the proceed
ings of this Congress, for no country seems
to be free from the path of this destroyer.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE

Chamber OF Commerce yesterday. with the
object of taking steps 10 urge the passage OF
the Moisty bill, q number Of our prominent
merchants we're present and passed resolutions
to be submitted to Congress. The gentlemen
assembled also concluded that, in view of tho
short time Congress will be in session and the
danger Of the Moiety bill being passed over, .
delegation should proceed at once to Washing
ton. A number Immediately volunteered to 60
and use their influence in order to induce the
Senate to pass the House bill The danger
of the bill being defeated or passed over lies,
it seems, in an amendment appended for
regulating the salaries Of Custom House
officials, which might lead to good deal of
discussion as well as preliminary investiga-
ton. 1t would be best, probably, to pass the
Moiety bill without any such amendment
and leave the salary question till the next
session of Congress. This would satisfy the
merchants, relieve them of an intolerable evil
and consume little time Of the Senate

Il the Third Empire Imminent
The cable informs us that the situation in
Versailles is gloomy. The movement for o
dissolution. of the Assembly continues, based
upon the resolution of the extreme republicans
to force that measure, resolution they have
never abandoned since Victor Hugo, Rochefort,
Clemenceau and Delescluze resigned rather
than serve in ali Assembly that to their minds
did not represent France. The fact that this
movement for dissolution is sustained by NJ.
Thiers and large number of the Left Centre
shows its importance. Nothing to the French
or English mind would seem more natural
than that the Assembly should dissolve, and,
appealing to France, take the true sense of
the country as to the form Of government de-
sirable. But what is natural to our eyes is
full of danger to the Frenchman. Dissolution
means q leap in the dark, and no one can tell
where it will lead
In the meantime, as striking comment
upon this news, we print singularly sugges-
tive letter addressed to us BY ssFrench Re-
publican discussing the question. els Third
Empire IMMINENT The arguments which
our correspondent presents lead to the con-
clusion already expressed in our columns that
the real contest in France is between the re-
publicans and the Bonapartists, with all the
advantages in favor of the latter party. Mac
Mahon can save the Republic by initiating the
example of Washington and proclaiming q
Conservative Republic. But such step on
his part seems to be improbable. In the
meantime France drifts towards an empire.
Wisdom might even yet save the Republic,
but we have seen no evidence Of it as yet.

evident inconsistency has its parallel in the
zeal Of those unthinking republicans who. for
the paltry advantage of few additional Sena-
tors they do not need. virtually renounoe their
own theory that State sovereignty and State
rights are the bane of the Republic.
Sound political judges, who have reflected
maturely on the nature Of our institutions will
attach little importance to either OF these con-
dicting theories, which are 80 evidently held
without any depth of we'll grounded convic-
tion. The idea of IN opposition between the
large and the small States of the Union is one of
those respectable but hollow traditions which
have descended TO us from an early period.
II is well known to oil who have studied the
history of the constitution that the chief con-
test in the Convention which framed it was
between the large and the small States. After
o long and obstinate struggle the dispute was
compromised by giving to the large StaAes tho
advantage they would derive from repre-
sentation, in proportion to population, in the
House, and to the small States the. advantage
of equal representation in the Senate. Madi-
son, as the debates show. was clear-sighted
enough to perceive that no opposition of in
terest would actually arise between the large
and small States as such, and that our great
and convulsing controversies were more likely
to be sectional, in the sense Of arraying large
areas OF country against each other. Bis
sagacity has been fully vindicated by our po-
litical history. There has never been q con-
troversy in which the large States were ar
rayed on one side and the small States on the
other Rhode Island has acted with the
large New England States; Delaware and
Florida with the large Southern States If
in the recent currency dispute some of the
small Western States have not gone
with their section, 1t is because they
were mining States and had q different
set of interests from the strictly agricul-
tural States Neither in this controversy
nor in any other have the small States been
found fighting together on one side against
the large States on the other, which is q
pretty conclusive proof that State rights have
never been felt by the smaller States to be in
any great danger. In good truth, we have
abundant examples IN the positions Of the
smallness Of the peril which besets the
people from the exercise Of federal authority.
No democratic politician ever maintained
that any of our Territories was oppressed, al
though the central authority has always done
with them whatever it pleased Congress,
for its own convenience, has always preferred
to give them local Legislatures, and we can
recollect no instance in which it has ever
interfered to annul local legislation in the
Territories, although its power to do so is
unquestioned So long as the great body Of
the American people are sincerely attached
to republican institutions the people Of the
Territories and the States will alike be per-
mitted to manage their local affairs, and
the only sure protection Of both lies in the
perpetuity of free sentiments in the minds
Of the majority of the people.

THE BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN on mo-
ton of Mr.. Clancy have adopted a resolution
directing the joint committee of the Alder
manic Boards already In existence to investi-
gate the Department of Charities and Correc-
ton. This is proper resolution, as it enables
the committee to administer an oath to wit
nesses and to send for persons and papers.
The Commissioners of Accounts now engaged
in an examination of the department do not
possess that power, and enough has been
shown to prove that q searching investigation
is needed. The joint committee should call

The PALESTINE EXPLORATION EXPEDITION.
1t has been known for some time that
society bearing this name existed in this
country, and that, acting in conjunction with
sister society in England, it has for its OBJ
ject the preparation Of an accurate map Of the
Holy Land. The English society, which has
taken the west side of the Jordan, has sur
veyed seven thousand miles of the country.
1t is proposed by the American society to
survey at least eight thousand miles on the
east side of the Jordan. Such joint survey
would give us map Of the Holy Land such
as has never yet existed. An accurate map of
the Holy Land is much needed. Thirty
thousand dollars year for three years are
needed by the American society to give effect
to their plans. This money should be forth
coming at once. II will be discredit to the
churches in the United States If the expedition
fails for the want of money.

which Congress may not deprive them at its
pleasure?
The small population Of these Territories
. sound argument intrinsically-is an argu-
ment which does not very well become demo-
cratic mouths. It is of the essence of the
democratic theory that the smallness of State
cannot impair its federal equality as . men,
Der of the Union. The theory is, and has
been from the beginning, that the Senate is q
counterpoise to the preponderance Of mere
numbers in the House; that inasmuch IS q
minority of the States have majority Of the
population the only effsctual protection for
the small States lies in their control OF one
branch of Congress-, which enables them to
prevent the passage of any law infringing
State rights. According to the theory, the
control Of the Senate by the small States is the
only secure barrier against Capitalization; tor
if the large States, which elect majority OF
the House of Representatives, had similar
advantage in the Senate, mere majority OF
the population would control the government
and little communities, like Delaware and
Florida, would hold their local rights at the
mercy of the central power. Every addition
TO the number of the very small States
the States which are so weak in
population that their only protection
lies in their ability to combine and defeat
hostile legislation in the Senate-strengthen
the security of those State rights and that
local Independence which the democratic
party inscrbes on all its banners as the cardi-
nal doctrine OF sound American politics. That
party virtually abjures its fundamental tenet
when it objects to the multiplication of small
States, since the small States have peculiar
interest in resisting federal aQQressions. This
