It scema probable tAat the title of Empresa

borne by Queen V1oron1A. The bill has al.
:.reRly passed to d second reading in the
House Of Commons, which seoms to indicate
likelihood Of its becoming law. It's pas-
aage In the House Of Lords is simply matter
OF courBo. Tha announcement that tho ao-
cesslon Of this now title will be celebrated by
the Telease Of tho Fenian prisoners Is mere
surmfao. Still il is customary to celebrate
events Of this LIND In Great Britain by Noyal
clemency, and Rs there Is good dcal Of pub

Tho colorod friends Of Mr. pHcupAuK
acted very injuliciously in thar serenaae
proceedings at Washington. Their charge
TINT the Senate acted with hostility to tho
colored race by refusing to at,mit r1HofuAox
is hardly sustained by truth. Indeed, We
think tho real truth ia, that, had not Mr.
P1aoupAck been colored man, lis case
would haye been disposed Of yeass ago, and
adversely TO Lis admission. It was the unan-
imous judgment Of the Senate In 1879 that
the Louisiana election was vast fraud, and
KK1looo was only sustained IN ottico az q
ID Jiscto Government for which there WAS
almost universal contempt, There has never
been time since March, 1873, that mnjor-
ity OF tho SENATE could have consciontiously
yoted to admit PlsoaDAoK, and il ho had
been whlte man they would have rejected

inR was sure to leave on the country, and
Slr. Cor, Of New York, oamo to tho front
with aono ambiguous resolutions to cover
tho ground. Als. Cox and tho Democrats
who voted soldty for his resolutions thought
TINT these resolutions would pass for n,atc-
rialiy tho same thing as Mr.. D4KEn's roeolu-
tion; and yet It was great folly to
presume TINT tho country could bo deceived
by go weak subtarfugo. For, 1t 1lr. Co1's
resolutions wore the snn,o In spirit rs Mr.
BAKEn's, why did the Democrats refuse to
sustain tho ono aud voto solidly for tho
other? The fact Ia that hlt. Cox's resolutions
were Intentionally worsled 10 rs to be subject
10 two constructions, ana no aa to attract tho
Confederate vote unttor tho Confederate corr
struction. For instance, ono Of his rosolu-
tons says TINT "The Government Of tho
Uuitotl States ia Federal Union, mud was
formed by the reoplo Of tho sovoral States in
their sovereign caracity.' What does

It n,ay rofer to either, and TINT il Just the
confusion that was intended. II to tho
States, thon tho declaration In outspoken
advocacy Of tho doctrine Of "statos'

the historical formation of the nation;
IL to tho people In thoir sovereign
capacity, then 1t is a declaration Of fact and
principle. The circumstances warrant the
Inference TINT tllo Confoderates votod for the

bodied q declaration Of faith in tho sovereign.
ty Of oaeh State as political ontity md IN
Its local character, which would carry with It
tho right to withdraw from tho league Of
sovereign States to which 1Ir. Cox refers ~
"Federal Union" This Is tho doctrine Of
secession, pure md simple. It was this doc
trine, evidently, TINT tho 0onfederates voted
to sustain, since they had abundant oppor-
tunity to declare against It II they had been
80 inclined by voting for Mr.. BAEEa's straight
forward, outspokcn, and concise declaration
of Unionism mud Nationa1iBm.
Tins llr. Cox's efforts to dccoiyo in this
matter is n lamentablc failure. Tho Demo.
crata in Congress cannot escapo from tho di-
lomma into which Mr.. BAKER drove them
Tlloy frat refused to pass g resolution declar-
ing boldly against State Sovereignty and tho
right Of secession, the Southern Democrats
voting against It and tho Northern Democrats
refusing to voto. They thon passed. roso1u-
tion purporting to 10 in the interest Of tho
Union, but rotaining tho only fcaturo that
ever seriously tlroatenod It's integrity,-tho
doctrine Of stato Sovereignty. Though this
declaration is morely political at the present
timo, its rcal import is found in tho assooia-
ton Of tho Democratic party by confession
with the doctrine that led to secession in
1861, md which Is oqun}ly liko1y to lend to
secession again when now complications
| arise that suggest to n minority Of the people
tho desirability Of diamemboring tho Union.
Tho Democratic party gointo tho Presidential
campaign with this declaration, and they
must abido it8 consequences.

Tho unexpected fniluro Of tho Bank Of tho
Stato Of Now York, which creatcd q brief
financial furry in Now York yesterday, adds
another namo to the long list Of catastrophes
in ilogitimnto md reckless banking. This
institution is shown to haye permitted ovor-
drafts to the amount Of nearly 1900, GOO,
whilo It's loans wero little mora than $3,00o,-
900. It's style Of busincss was illustrated by
its ndvanco Of nearly $500, 900 On tho security
Of doubtful patent; Of almost as much moro
on malt worth only half aa much a. tho
amount Of tho loan and Of q quartar Of d
million on the security Of MI assignment Of
open accounts. Tho officers Of tho bank
are directly responsible for tho collapse. It
Is found that Of tie cash reported on hand
in tho banks statements $40, 900 consisted Of
tho individual-and probably worthless
check Of tho Vice-Prcsident. This officer
also owes tho bank $3.50, 900, secured by real
estate, which no doubt bears about tho same
relation to tile debt na In tho caso Of DANIEL,

Dir. GEon1E II. PENnLEToN, who has been
for mnny yoRrs conspicuous Democratic na-
rirant for the Presidency, has probably ro-
signed all horo now OF eror attaining nom-
nation for TINT ot1lco or any other national
distinction. IIo has beon hcdgod in by .
labyrinth Of suspicious circumstances until
forced to nlako statemont md confession
on Ills own bohalf relntivo to tho collection of
tho claim Of S148,3s5 from tho United Statos
Government for tho Kentucky Central 1tail-
road That statement had better not have
beou mnde, go far m Mr. PENpLEroN's por-
sonal reputation Is concerned. Its effect
may 10 to reliove Mrs. DE11;NAp Of the charge
Of having received largo sim Of money
from Dir. PEHpIErqT for securing tho allow
nnce Of this claim but to do this he has con-
tossed action on his own part which ho can
not successfully lofond, cithor politically or
commercially.
Tho c1Rim which ho collected from the
Government by tho nllowanoo Of DELKHAp
whilo Secretary Of War was extra componsa-
tion for services rendered by tho Kentucky
Central Railroad This road had already
boen paid in full by tho Government ut the
same rate which the Government paid all tho
other railroads in tho country for tho trans
portation Of troops mud supplies. The nan-
agemont Of the Kentucky Central, however,
never acquiosood in tho Justice Of tho settle
mont, md demanded pay at the rate Of 90
per cont Of its regular rate, The difference
botwoeu tho amount paid and tho amount
c1aimed was $14S,385. Thin swindling clailn
was successfully rejected by socrotaries Of
War STANTON, sunor1ELp, aud RAwL1Ns.
Con. 0lE1os pronounced twice strongly against
it. But 1t WIS allowed by Secretary BE1KsAr,
whoso present wife had boon on intimate
socinl relations with tho PExDLEToNs. Tho
charge was mado that PENDLEroN had paid
Mrs. DE1KNAp o lnrgo sum, aud the books OF
tho Railroad Company showed TINT it had rc-
coived sum grently less than tho Goyorn-
ment had paid. At TINT time A1r. PENpEg-
TON WINS tho President of tho Kentucky Gen.
tral Railroad md likewise administrator Of
tho BowLgn estate, which ownod large part
of tho railroad stock. In tho former caracity
ho made contract with himself in the latter
capacity-a sort Of OAKEs AMEs "Credit
Mobiler" arrangement pay himsolf 10
per cent for collecting tho claim. He hns
now admitted that Of tho $14s,385 fraudu-
lently collected from the Government, tile
Railroad Company only received sos, 900,
whilo he received S80,385. All Of this he
says ho retained except small percentage,
which ho paid to clerk in tho railroad Office
who had mado up the rascally accounts
against tho Government.
Accepting b1r. PgNDLEroN's statement of
