General Grant In Paris.

The latest event in the round of Partisan
hospitalities to General Grant-the dinner,
ball and reception chronicled in our col
umns to-day-apparently takes the lead OF all
others III brilliant extravagance of display.
Evidently the reporter is at loss for hy-
perboles Of descriptive style that may do
full justice to the pomp, splendor and SPAR
kle of the occasion. In the dinners and
other festivals organized by the genii Tor
the benefit Of Aladdin and persons Of that
sort it is q characteristic and even common
place feature that things are done regard
less Of expense There is no occasion to
stint Il single point because all the supplies
and splendors that are ordinarily obtained
by tremendous draughts Oh the banker are
here subject to snap OF the finger on the
part of the handy demon. Gold mines
are open to supply plates and noun
tains Of rubies are turned into cups,
and all regions of the earth, near or remote,
are ransackcd for their glories of goounlaa-
disc But when all that humanity can pos
sibly desire is put on the table or in the
hall on these wonderfully easy terms it is
astonishing how little humanity finds itself
able to desire beyond finely appointed
splendid dinner and a happily organized
reception Of well bred people. On that side
we find that imagination is exhausted in
the effort to conceive and contrive new
effects sooner than the caterers are ex-
hausted in doing the behests Of imagination
In Mrs. Mackay's entertainment OF General
Grant, as chronicled by the cable, we get in
this respect the same impression as from
the "Arabian Nights" story.

Congress Yesterday.

Mr.. Thurman's resolution to discharge
the Committee on Privileges and Elections
from the consideration of the case Of Mr..
length in the Senate yesterday. Incident
ally the Louisiana contests were referred to,
and there was pretty full expression of
opinion all around. Although the demo-
Gratis did not succeed in carrying their
point they nevertheless won victory, the
first purely political one they have gained
in the Senate since the accession Of the re-
publican party to power Mr. Hoar moved
to lay the resolution on the table, but Mr..
Thurman interposed motion for an execu-
tive session, which was carried by
minority Of one in q vote of fifty
nine. The Senators on both sides
who were paired explained that as it
was clearly political question, or pos
sessed political Significance, they alb
stained from voting Mr. Davis, Of Illinois,
independent, voted with the democrats, and
Mr. Conover, OF Florida, republican, on the
same side. Two epublicans-Pa Patterson. OF
South Carolina, and Sharon, of Nevada,
who were not palred-were the only Senators
who did not vote. The only other business
of importance was the reporting of the Sill
yer bill by Mr.. Allison. In the House the
day was consumed in discussion Of de-
fciency bill amounting to about a million
and half, large part OF which is to pay
judgments Of the Court of Claims. Some
of the republican members who are con.
sumed with love for the soldiers eRdeavored
to make political capital out of the action
of the House Doorkeeper in discharging
half a dozen ex-veterans, and Messrs. Frye,
of Maine, and Killinger, Of Pennsylvania,
took occasion to emphatically condemn the
President for having given Office to ex-Con-
federates. An effort to pass the bill, SO as
to get up the anti-resumption measure to.
day, was defeated.

"Eend Scra mblings."

One of the really lively, pleasant and
entertaining parts of the proceedings Of
Congress is likely to be done away with, to
be reformed out of existence This part OF
every important debate that is now endan-
gered by some prosy fellow whose slunbers
have been disturbed, or some soulless MEM
Der whose favorite corn has been too sharply
touched, is the exercise OF the pages These
lively Switches of humanity have been
accustomed to have foot races, tilts and
scrambling matches on the floor, to the
infinite amusement Of the galleries and to
the improvement of the picturesque effect
and phantasmagorc confusion of the
scene of Congress assembled. At the
magic clap of members hands twenty
pages would start from one spot and
rush to do that members will
rush with the impetuosity and splendid
emulation of racers on the course, and with
the same indifference to obstacles. Or If
the pages were around loose when the clap
was heard they went for it with such bril-
liant variety of trajectory as is seen only in
the spectacle of the November meteors when
they scribbe themselves on the great black
board of the autumn night. But now, alas
this fine fun is to come to an end. Mem
bers are to have electric buttons on their
tables, and these are to communicate with
the underlined backgrounds OF the Congress
sional world and when q button is touched
n single page is to loosen himself from
the mass and launch out to that member
and get his order, and do it in quiet,
decorous, commonplace way. Thus it
is that the color and the glory OF
life are taken out of it by progress
sive changes, as if it were only a piece
of French calico too often washed. But
as the members have now learned that
it is possible to apply electricity to these
purposes, when will they learn that it may
be applied to save time and simplify other
operations as important as this? Will they
ever consider that the yeas and nays may be
taken by telegraph operated by a simple
button on each members desk and announc-
ing the result instantaneously on the wall OF
the House? This would stop iilibustering
that kind Of mental scrambling- as eflectu-
ally as the other button will stop the
scrambling of the boys.

Two Weddings.


In London yesterday, in a little Bromp-
ton church, there was wedding of such
state and style that the word fashionable"
limps far behind proper application to
the case, and the blaze OF diamonds was
such as might almost have dispelled for
time one Of the first class fogs that so CON-
monty get the better of November days in
that great metropolis. In this city also
there was a wedding in high life
and although the occasion might be thought
tempting for comparison Of the varieties
OF high life, as presented in the wealthy
cities of Great Britain and Greater Britain,
the comparison would necessarily lose its
point and favor by the simplest considera-
ton OF the necessary differences presented
by the structure of society in democ-
Tacy on one hand and an ancient aristoc-
racy on the other. Both of these dazzling
weddings are fully reported in our columns
this morning and the occasion ut least fitly
exhibits the ubiquity and universally
of the newspaper OF the time, which gath
ers up its record Of events in Madison
avenue church or in the Brompton
oratory, and presents in the same
impression the picture of events that
were separated by the Atlantic--as
though one should put. on the same string
pearls from Ceylon and diamonds from
Brazil. At the marriage of Mr.. Vanderbilts
daughter our city society sparlSled in the
heyday of happy festival. Women OF une-
qualled beauty, men of talent and great
intellectual vigor, and wealth practically
without limit-these are the elements Of
such an occasion with us, and these
are also the elements in London Of
such great social occasions as yester-
day put the West End agog, although
it must be said that the emphasis
on these elements respectively differs in the
two cities. But London carries the palm
and puts us down. rs it were, in virtue of
vanity dearer than diamonds to the female
hcart--and not without masculine admira-
ton also the timehonored glory Of family
names and family history This to what we
have comparable to it, is like very DID, warm
Madeira to new cider. Fancy bridegroom
who gives to his bride, rs the Duke of Nor
folk did yesterday, necklace that was worn
by Mary Queen Of Scots, and this not as u
mere treasure Of bric-a-brac, but as on heir
loom Of his family

War News from Bulgaria and Ar
menia.


The stirring events at Kars have evidently
inspired both sides in Bulgaria to resume
active operations. Suleiman Pacha, who
has not been heard from for some weeks,
has attempted to force the Russian lines on
the LON Immediately west Of Rustchuk.
His assault on Pyrgos was successful SO far
that he was enabled to burn the place dur
ing temporary occupation after desper-
ate fighting. But the Russian accounts
state that the Turks were vigorously re-
pulsed at all points along the line attacked.
The Roumanians have been active along
the Danube from Nicopolis, and claim to
have captured Rahova and to have effected
crossing of the river at that town be-
Sides The Turks, it is stated, fed in
the direction Of Widdin. At Kalatat it
is reported the Roumanian batteries
have destroyed Turkish steamer. Thus
little by little the territory held by the
Turks is being seized by their enemies
The fate of Plevna seems to be sealed, but
no one can tell what the result Of one
Russian blunder may be. 1t is generally
conceded, even by the Turks, that the fall
of Kars will be followed by that of Erzeroum.
We may, therefore, expect the news of the
capture of that city within few days, as
Moukhtar Pacha's defence cannot withstand
the pressure of the reinforced Russian army
now besieging the capital of Armenia.

Excise Commissioners. Three years ago he
renewed the lease of his premises for q
long period. and, relying on the con-
tinued protection of the law, he has
taken advantage of the state of the mar
ket, from time to time, to make purchases
until he has accumulated stock of liquors
worth thirty thousand dollars. All at once
the Court of Appeals makes an Unexpected
decision that the law by which he supposed
his business protected is void, but void
only because the Legislature failed to ex-
press its real intention. Is it right that he
should forfeit his investment which this
law, as officially expounded for many years.
invited him to make? Is it equitable to
confiscate private property because the
law on which he relied for protection
was so clumsily drawn that it did
not express its own meaning? Is it just to
destroy his business without fair warning!
Let the Excise law be made as stringent or MS
prohbitiye as public morals require, but let
fair notice be given when great changes are
made and a reasonable opportunity be
afforded to those whom the law has encour-
aged to embark in that business to retire
without ruinous losses.
If the law is to remain in its present un-
satisfactory and unintended condition it
ought to be impartially enforced. There
should be no odious favoritism In
the execution of an unpopular statute.
Under the law Of 1857 the Excise
Commissioners have no more author
ity to grant licenses to restaurants
than to liquor saloons. Restaurants do not
come within the letter. although they may
within the spirit, of the law Of 1857. They
are not inns, as defined by that statute, be-
cause they do not keep accommodations Tor
dodgers. From Delmonico's down through
all the descending grades these eating
houses supply prohibited fluids to such OF
their customers as desire them A large
proportion of our business men take their
midday meal at such places and would
be subjected to discomfort il deprived
of their customary beverages. But
the law as it stands no more per-
mits them to be licensed than it
does an ordinary grogshop. Yet they are
not intermeddled with, which is an addi-
tional illustration that the authorities do
not feel strictly bound to enforce the law in
all cases simply because it is law. It is the
duty of the Legislature to amend the Excise
law as soon as possible after it assemblies,
and to put it on such footing that it can be
impartially executed without any favoritism
or any discrimination between different
classes of transgressors.

THE WEATIER.-Yestcrday afternoon the
weather in New York assumed the threatening
appearance predicted, but the rainfall did not
occur, owing to the slow movement Of the de-
pressions which we noticed i'll yesterdays and
Mondays papers. TO account for this rctarla-
ton We must note the development Of n
remarkably high pressure over the Eastern
ard Middle States and which attained in New
England to 1910 inches. But notwithstanding
the influence of this atmospheric barrier, the
dcprcssions from the southwest and northwest
have advanced into and beyond the Mississippi
Valley, attended by general rains, and now form
n baromctric trough extending from the upper
lakes to the Gulf. At the northern end OF this
elongated depression the barometer is lowest
and will form storm centre during today.
The area cf high pressure is diminishing and
reccding to the northeastward, causing falling
barometer attended BY rains on the East Gulf
and South Atlantic coasts. Light snow has fallen
in the Northwest, and heavy rains from Manitoba
10 Florida and South Carolina. The winds
on the East and Middle Atlantic coast are
northeastward; on the South Atlantic and East
Gulf coasts and points east of the Mississippi
Valley, southcastward. In Texas and the
Northwest they are nortbwestward The high
est temperature is the South Atlantic coast
and the lowest in Nova Scotia and the North
west. The weather in New York and its vicn-
ify to-day will be cloudy and warm, with rain,
possibly light snow and increasing southeast to
southwest winds. On Friday the weather
to be colder and cloudy, with rain or
snow, followed BY clearing.
