Now that the Madrid mushroom has
collapsed, It is a question Of short time
when the Septennate Ehat-is-it Of
France shall follow suit. The main
question Is, whom does Bismarck wish
to rule at Paris? OF course he desires
to keep France among the second-rate
powers. Mcmahon is temporary, and
hardly suits, being representative of
military glOry-the passion Of his
countrymen. The Orleanist dynasty is
about the weakest that could be en-
throned, but they are unpopular.
Conlte de Paris is hardly an available
man for the emergency; besides, he has
age and some experience in states
claft. Better take Little Louis

Grants Friends Taking Water.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is well known that the Caesar of the
White House has in the last few hours bit
te-ly denounced the Republicans in Con-
gress who hesitate TO support his reyOlu-
tiOnary measures and schemes, but the
manifestation Of public opinion are
this evening beginning to pene-
trilte even the atmosphere Of
the White House tyranny, and tonight we
have the spectacle of the Presidents friends
hedging by insisting that the proceedings
Of Gen. Beforehand were authorized only
bv Gen. Emory, and that the adminisJra-
ton is not responsible for it. They say
that Grant is in position to repudiate the
act, while his carpet-bag friends in LOuisi-
ana continue to enjoy and use the
power thus wrongly acquired. The
Southern Republicans are urging
the most ultra measures, and demand of
the President TO proclaim martial law in
the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Arkansas. OF course. if this be dOue and
endured by the country, the same rule
will be extended, on convenient pre-
texts, 10 other States, North as well
as South. Among the Senators expect
ed to aSsail the Presidents Louisiana
policy in this debate are Ferry, of COnnec-
ticut; Hamilton, Of Maryland, who has the
floor next; Thurman, Bayard and MerTi-
mon. Messrs. Conkling, Morton and 9th
ers will probably speak ON the Republican
Size, and there is . prospect Of very long
debate, running through the week.

IT Is now given out that the sudden
change IN Spain from republicanism to
monarchy, was preoipitated by the
threatening version Of Grants message
sent over the cable. The Ne1U York
Herald, through its Washington cor
respondent, learns of the action taken
by the Cabinet Of the late Spanish Re
public upon becoming cognizant of
that part Of the Presidents message
relating to Cuba. A circular note of
inquiry was Immediately dispatched to
the other European powers, asking if
they intended to Join the United States
In interfering. The response from
Great Britain was prompt, but it is not
known that any other answers we're yet
received at the date Of the letter.
Great Britain was particularly anna
bic IN the tone Of Ter communication.
She diselaimed any intention or dispo-
sition to become a party to iuterfer
ence in the war IN Cuba. Thus the
United States inadvertently receives
an unasked for warning, which conveys
with it somewhat Of a humilating les
son. The terms on which the Virginius
claims Of Great Britain were settled,
were also profered to the Washington
authorities, but are not yet accepted.
Our claims are more serious, involving
not indemnity alone, but the safety of
our flag on the high seas.
