The stand at last taken by Russia on the
eastern question very naturally excites APP
prebepsions OF q terrible war, which will in.
volve most of the great powers OF Europe
With the largest standing army In the
world, and backed up as Russia Is by Aus
tria and Italy, the question which merits
the most serious consideration by the other
powers Is whether 1t is possible to form Q
sufficiently strong alliance to contest the
pretensions OF the anti Turkish combina-
ton. Russia has undoubtedly taken the
firm stand she has with q full under
standing of the responsibilities invol we'd.
Late dispatches from London indicate that
England IL undoubtedly preparing for war.
The Times OF yesterday recognizes the fact
that negotiations are at an end, and the Tel
sgroph, in a leading article, says that as
much n she loves and desires peace, Eng
land must wage war from end to end OF the
world rather than permit the Russian flag
TO be hoisted at Constantinople. Time and
circumstances must decide who her allies
will be, for allies she must have II she
would 60 10 war with the slightest prospect
of success. Meanwhile, Americans may
Congratulate themselves with the assur-
ance that there is no possibility OF the Uni
ted States being drawn into the European
complication, and further on the fact that
q war across the Atlantic will do much to-
wards reviviDg trade here by largely in
creasipg the foreign demand for American
products. Already, rs Indicated by our dis
patches, the prospect OF war In Europe has
set the stock markets OF our great cities In q
fiutter and materially raised the price of
gold, stocks, and breadstuffs. Gold, which
opened in New York yesterday at ITO q, rap
idly rose TO 49,, the advance from the
opening sale Of Tuesday being full 4 per
cent. 1t finally, however, settled down to
11iX. In the Stock Exchange UAited States
bonds advanced aaIs per centum, and
stocks of all kinds advanced amid excited
purchases, the rise ranging from \ to 81
per centum, war being interpreted to mean
greater activity In railroad business and
general trade. Wheat has also advanced In
price, not because Of Its present scarcity or
of m extraordinary demand for IL, but SIM
ply In anticipation of q further demand
when Europe is imbroiled in war. The ex.
element in Wall street yesterday, 1t is said,
reminded one OF the days when Jim Fisk
ruled the gold room.

The case of Irene A. v. House, who recent
ly killed her husband, q notorious divorce
lawyer of New York, o. A. House by name,
presented some very curious features. A
brother OF the late husban OF the fair muir
deress, who came from the west after the
commission Of the crime TO aid In the pros
ecution OF the case, protested to become
enamored OF her charms, and asked her
hand In marriage, which sweet boon she
declined 10 grant. II was uncharitably in
simulated that he was not so deep In love
as not to give due weight TO the fact
that If she was acquitted she would fall
into possession Of the murdered mans es-
tate; but another brother, with child-like
simplicity. said 70 a reporter that there was
no question about "Brad's' infatuation, or
doubt that Brad would marry her IL she
was acquitted" "If / were at liberty he
went on TO say. mot married, you know,
and In Brad's place, should not hesitate for
moment about marrying her" Then fol-
lows this remaT kable declaration:
81 should throw In the river all the revolt
vers about the place, and make IL a prlnci
pie that men and women shouldn't carry re-
volvers and practice on each other with
them"
This Is certainly very sound principle,
and II Mr.. House can secure It's general re-
cognition society will be materially ben
ented. There were more peculiar phases In
the case. The prisoner appeared In deep
mourning for the man she murdered. The
presiding judges son was the public pros
ecutor, and the judges son in-law appeared
for the defendant An associate Justice OF
the court 10 q brother-In-law OF Mrs
House, and very properly declined to sit
In the case There was still another curious
coincidence. A divorced husband of the
muroeress was an Official at the jail where
Ills ex-wife was imprisoned for q short time
after the commission Of the crime. Alto
gether, The case was surrounded by a net
work OF very singular circumstances. and
her acquittal yesterday was not unlocked for.

1t appears frem the official journal OF the
House Of Representatives for the first session
Of the Fort y fourth Congress, that, owing to
lack Of concert of action between the two
houses last winter, there are no joint rules
In force. On the 22d of January last the fol-
lowing resolution was received from the
Senate:
Rssolred by the Senate, (fhe House Of Repre-
se'fotires coHelurtng) That the joint rules OF
the Senate and House OF Representatives In
force at the close OF the last session OF Con-
gress, except the 22d joint rule, be, and the
same are hereby, adopted "a the joint rules
OF the two houses for the present session.
On the ID OF February the said resolut lon
was taken from the Speakers table by
mittee on Rules, and not reported therefrom.
The following resolution was adopted by the
House OF Representatives on the 18th Of
August, 1876, and transmitted to the Senate
on the same day, viz:
Resolred by the House of Representatives (ths
Senate conc,u,ing) That the 18th and 18th
joint rules be suspended for the erEainder Of
the session.
subsequently, on the same day, the Sen
ate adopted q resolution and sent 1t to the
House, returning the above resolution to
the House with the statement that, as the
House had not notified the nate OF the
adoption of joint rules for the session, a.
proposed by the resolution OF the Senate,
that there Cere no Joint rules IN force.
As stated in THE STAR OF yesterday the
two houses can, of course, adopt Joint rules
at their next session. The subject of Joint
rules will undoubtedly furnish q fruitful
subject for discussion, especially since the
House II likely to contend for the re- adop-
ton of the twenty-second joint rule, under
the provision Of which that body might vIr.
tually control the election OF President and
Vice President. OF course the Senate will
oppose the adoptio of any such rule.

President hIaCiIah0n'S PrOclama-
ton.

PARIS, January 13.-F'renchmen
for the first time in five years you are
called upon to participate IN a gene
raj election. Five years ago you de-
sired order and peace, and at the
price of the most cruel sacrifices, and
after the greatest trials, you obtain
ed them. You still desire order and
peace. The Senator's and Deputies
you are about to elect must cooper
ate with the President of the Repub-
lie to maintain them. We must ap-
ply with common accord and sinceri-
ty the constitutional laws, the revis-
ion whereof I alone until 1880 have
the right to propose. After so much
agitation, discord and misfortune, re-
pose is necessary for the country,
and l think her institutions ought
not to be revised before they are hon
estly tried; but to try them as the
salvation of France requires, tits in
dispensable that the conservative
and truly liberal policy which l al
ways intend to pursue, should pre-
vail to uphold it. Iappeal for union
among those who place the defence
of social order, respect for law, and
patriotic devotion above their recol-
lections, aspirations or party engage
ments. Invite them to rally around
my government. 1t is necessary
that the sacred rights which survive
all governmental changes, and legiti-
mate interests which every admin
istration is bound to protect, should
enjoy full security under a strong
and respected government. 1t is ne
cessary not only to disarm those who
threaten its future by tue propoga
ton of anti-social aud revolutionary

There is such thing as too much as

ces for losing fortune, while sailing
under the colors of either are. perhaps,
about even. An instance in which ex-
cessiye caution came near robbing a
man Of ali his spare coin was brought to
our notice to day. In the Crown point
