The despair Of the radicals at the prospect o.
losing control Of the Senate has rendered them
reckless, and they talk With coarse abandon
as iuexcusahle as it is characteristic CT their
true feclipgs Gee Of their organs, 10 its issue
Of this morniogs, says
"Hambu murderer Butler, who Is hanging
around the corridors of the United States Sec.
ate, waiting for admission as Senator, and
who seems to thiuk that he has claims
upon Senator Patterson for his vote, yester-
day made sorry exhibition OF himself 10
one Of the corridors 10 the Senate chamter.
With gush Of profanity too gross aud lode-
cent for repetition, he babe Senator Patterson,
with vulgarity such as the slave driver would
use in commanding bis slave, to 70 into the
Senate chamber and vote with the democrats.
Senator Patterson did as he was babe. We
have no language with which to properly char
acteriZ3 such transaction"
Gen. Butler is an educated, courteous and
oourtly gentleman, and, as regards delicacy aud
refinement, the peer of any mau 10 the Senate.
If he has authority over such man as Mr..
Patterson, whom. until nov, the radicals delight
ed to honor, he is perfectly just;6abic 10 using
it, and as men Of the class to which the carpet
bag Senator from South Czlvliua belongs know
their superiors, they obey them without the ne.
cessity OF resort to such mcaos as those al
luded to, aud Of which Gen. Butler would be
incapable.

HE Eastern War.

A Russian official dispatch states that the
Romanian loss at the capture of Rahova was
224 killed and wounded.
A special from Berlin says Servia has stropg-
y protested to the Porte concerning the az
grcssions Of the Bashi Bazouks Martial law
has been declared throughout the Scrvian
frontier PROVINCES. 1t is positively stated ID
official circles that declaration of war may be
hourly expected.
The Manchester Guardian publishes the fol-
loving from its London correspondent The
recent success of the Russians 10 Asia aud the
probability that they will 'soon achieve as de-
cisve victory at Plevcna have brought back
the Government to that State of anxiety lnto
which they were thrown by the first ralG across
the Balkans. The feeling these events provoke
10 the minds OF the Ministers is to be gathered
from the tone Of the papers that support tho
Prcmer's foreign policy. These journals arc
daily vehemcntly demanding the active inter-
venton of England. For two or three days the
air has been full Of the most sinister rumors.-
1t is stated that the Premier has informed the
Russian Minister that if Andrianoplc be taken
aud Cunstan,iooplo jeopardized there may
be such an outcry 10 Eogand as to make
war on the part of this country newt
able. Information of this declaration has
been sent to the Russian headquarters
and has made strong impression there. lo
these circumstances there is some reason TOR
fearing this country may be dragged into the
present conflict. Further ground for such ap
prchension is afforded by the fact that within
the last few hours orders have been issued for
the immediate preparation of an army corps.
A warlike policy will meet much opposition,
aud it is hard to forecast what will be the pop
ular verdict. 10 these circumstances it would
not be surprising If the Government took some
torn OF stating the grounds of their conduct,
and inviting the arbitrament Of public opinion
