thought that he would continue in the
Office lac had filed for 80 long n time.
IL was also intimated that he would
be appointed to the court of claims,
and il certainly true that he expected,
mt that time, to receive higher Office
In case he was removed. AS IL stands
II Is not positive that he will not
receive an appointment mt the
hands of the president that will
compensate him Cor the loss of
the cOmmissonership. He has been
assured by both Grant and Bristow
that the removal was not on account
of any suspicion of his personal integ-
rlty. 1t is charged In some quarters
thaC his friendship with such demo-
Gratis rs Beck, Of kentucky, and Such
republicans rs Foster of Ohio, who
were both Instrumental in the expos
ure of the SanhOrn frauds, had the
effect 10 prejudice t eprcsidcnt against
him. Many congressman have COM
planned shat Douglas was not II pOliti-
elan, and would not permit his Office
TO be used for political purposes. II Is
not definitely known when Pratt will
take charge, but il will probably not be
later than the first of July next. The
removal of so many Of the old
treasury officials recently cXcites COM
mcnt. Bristow, it is charged, intends
90 make clean sweep, and II is now
reported that the auditors, or some of
them ut least, and the commissioner
of customs viii! he removed before
long. Indiana is attracting attention
from the circumstance that the two i'm
portUnt offices last filled in the trcasu
rs have been filed from that state. If
the stock Of great men in Indiana is
not unusually small it seems probable
that Messrs. Pratt and New are merely
pioneers for an innumeraGle caravan
of boosters who will take their way to
presidential patronage.
Major Poore brought dispatches from
Minister Foster, from the city of Next
co. He says the opinion expressed in
Mexico is that the troubles on the bor-
der were produced by lawless men OF
both countries, and there was an earn
est disposition on the part of the Mex
lean government, in sympathy with
our own, to suppress them ; and fur
ther, that the troubles were not COLI
sidered of such serious character as
to endanger the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
LONDON, May THE Paris cores
pondent of the Times telegraphs that
uneasness prevails in well-intOrmed
circles in Paris. The most serious
minds believe that danger is impcnd-
ing. Politicians from abroad, as well
as those claiming to be well-informed
at home, assert that peace or war de-
ponds on the approaching meeting of
the ear and the German emperor No
one denies that u powerful party in
Germany, comprising the entire mill
tnry element, feels that the late treaty
was too lenient that the indemnity
paid has already returned to French
Golfers that the possession of BeliOrt
by France Is dangerous to Germany
that France is recognizing rapidly,
and will soon bc able to furnish Il for
midable army for any alliance with
other nations that Germany is no
richer than before the war. Her
finances and social organizations can
not long support the expense Of the
present ornaments, and she cannot
disarm in the face of France.
The military party in Germany
are convinced that never was there a
moment more propitious than the
present to secure for their country a
long era of prosperity and peace. War
ought TO be promptly undertaken. 1t
is necessary to march on Paris, and
take up II position where Il new peace
can be signed which takes BelIort from
France, limits her active army, and
eXacts ten miliards in twenty years. /.
Paris would be alta ked ii France re-
fused to sign. All the powers have
confined themselves 10 timid, friendly
representations with regard to Belgian
notes, which only shows that, to finish
with France now, is duty to Germany
and humanity. Europe will never tie
tranquil while the blunder of treaty
which leaves france ready to revive
and re.cntCr the struggle is unrectiiied.
What may be promptly executed ut an
insignificant sacrifice would, two years
hence, cost oceans Of blood. Russia
must BE- convinced Of this necessity.
The Times correspondent adds 1t .
would BE- untrue 10 say that these ar .
guments are accepted even i'll Germa-
ny, outside Of Il particular party. 1t /
would be equally untrue to say that I
these menaces are destined to he re-
allied. The diplomatic world. even in .
Germany, declares she cannot fight .
against an enemy who declares for .
peace. Honest Germans scout the sup
positions. The emperor has scruples,
but the party of immediate action urge
ii as n duty to sink all considerations
in order TO save the country. They i'll
sist that France be made to accept
treaty if she will not fight.
Germany, in order to have the right
to reprOach France cause of uneasi-
ness, must sOlemnly disclaim the
above theories. The Times, in its edi-
torial columns, scouts apprehensions
raised by alarmists and the alarmed in
Paris.
The Christian convention met to-day
in Haymarket theater. Moody, the
American rcvivalist, was chosen chair
man, Canon Batersley, of the see of
Canon Fremantle, chaplain to
the archbishop of Canterbury; Lord
Rev. Mr.. Aiken, and
many hundreds of other delegates,
the principal towns in
the kingdom, were present.
Rev. Mr.. kelman, of Edinburgh, de-
livered an address, and stated that the
results OF the work of Moody and
Sankey in that city were truly marvel
Gus. Three thousand persons had been
and the number of drunk
ards and ihcatcr goers who had been
reclaimed WAS remarkable.
A delegate from Rome gave an inter-
estine account of the progress there.
RIO DE JANE!Ro, May 5.-Vhe en-
peror opened regular session of the
chambers in person. He said public
order was completely restored. Nego-
,iations with the Argentine republic
md Paraguay continued. The good
will and prudence of negotiators in
spired confidence in a speedy and ia
orable result. He urged various cleo
oral reforms. He believed the pope,
thoroughly approaching the circum-
stances which compelled the govern
10 ent to adopt repressive measures in
he dioceses of Olinda and Para, would
10 the most to restore harmony, if not,
lie chambers must enact necessary
avs. The revenue again showed the
usual rate Of progress. The ordinary
expenses have not exceeded the re-
,eipts, but loans for educational and
,ther purposes called for the attention
# the chambers.
