Preparations for war, the effect Of which Is
t!hiatt while they run the Stats ndHstfiaIIy
they bring q large armed force into Europe
and till the capital with mercantile spirit,
and make compromise almost imp ssible.
Every nerve IS strained, every farthing
laplshed, to make ready as il for an ineyita-
Bile contest. The .Asintic provinces have
been for whole month drained OF .abls-
bodied men, muskets come from America
by hundreds OF thousands and metallic
cartridges by millions. Though It, is I'M
possible to refuse our admiration to o peo-
pie who thus prepare to defend themselves,
we; cannot forget That they ore, ontnum-
bered, many times by The population Of the
hostile empire, and seem to, be entering on
a perilous struggle with mistaken notions
OF their own strength and Of the relations
OF the other powers towards them.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The House was engaged all day in the de-
bate on the report OF the Florida Inycsti-
eating Committee-the majority report de-
claring the Tilden electors to have been
duly elected, and the minority the Hayes
electors.
There was but little interest III the debate
until Mr.. Purman, of Florida, rose: and
after censuring his party associates in the
North for the indifference which it had
shown to the result of the election in the
South, and for the blunder it had made In re-
iusing to admit Pinchback into the United
Senate as senator from Louisiana, he
declared that, thougha staunch Republican,
he felt it his duty to say that the Tilden
electors had been duly elected in Florida,
and he characterized the Canvassing Board
OF that State as bold, Inscriptions, fraud
ulent body. Els speech elected much mp,
pluuse from the Democrats, who gathered
around him and paid close attention to his
remarks.
With the understanding that Il. vote
should be taken tomorrow upon the reso-
l,Itions of the Commission, the House took
n recess till 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
