1t is very well understood now that
with the exception Of works Of hne and
high art, and in some costly articles as
gems and works in the precious metals,
the Paris Exposition does not equal the
Centennial, and that our American exhi.
bition in 1876 still occupies the foremost
place in the world among affairs Of that
kind. But this is not to say that the
Paris Exposition is not a very grand
AFFAIR, for it may be all that and yet fall
a long way behind Philadelphia in the
Centennial yesr.

The Holly Springs Reporter, in speak.
ing Of Senator Lamar says, that the
people Of Mississippi are growing tired
of bis continued opposition to their
views. They are Disguised at his unin.
terrupted trucking to Northern senti.
ment and power. They are wondering
when and where it will cease. 1t has
come to this; when the news reaches
Mississippi that Senator Lamar has made
a speech, entered into debate or cast a
vote, a dreadful solicilade is manifested
as to which party he acted with. It is
the first time in the history Of Mississippi
that such a want Of confidence in a
Democratic representative in either
branch Of the national legislature has
been displayed, as we see now displayed
toward Senator Lamar. He has lost hi
influence at home. which a senator
should have in order to represent proper
ly and advantageously the interests o
his constituency. By his course Senate
Lamar has seriously impaired his powe
for usefulness in the United States sen
ate. About the most fitting thing 70
him to do is to resign and let Mississippi
send a successor who will more fdI,
represent the views of her people"

THE Eueniag Express, with an
easy grace which often distinguish.
es that journal, referring to n prob.
able meeting of farmers, promises
them the support of the majority OIL
the voters Of Los Angeles county
should they nominate ticket fol
the Constitutional Convention.
The bulk of the Democratic party
has always been composed Of
farmers and worklngmep, and they
are determined-that portion OF
them resident in Los Angeles
county, at least - that, however
other sections may act, aud what
ever their sins of omission may be,
this county shall have some sound
Democrats in that body. The De.
nocracy of Los Angeles, while
perfectly aware that their party is
lamentablv in want of energetic
and sagacious leadership in this
State, are determined to keep
themselves en- rapport with the SUI
perb Democracy of the country.
When the fleeting tanaticisms OF
the hour shall have passed away,
and Kearneyism shall be an
adumbra of the past, the record OF
the Los Angeles Democracy will
shine out resplendently.

that IL England is compelled to go
to war, she will do SO under more
favorable circumstances than were
recently hoped. 1t is also believed
that Austria's attitude at this mo-
ment will have u favorable influ-
ence in the negotiations at st. Pc
tersburg. Herr Tisza, in the course
of his speech, said: The govern.
ment had no intention to act
against, but rather in concert with,
Turkey in Bosnia. The Minister
could not say in detail what they
wanted money for. Probably it
was necessary to take precautions
on the northern, southern and
eastern frontiers and to increase
the number of troops to be safe
against surprise. Part of the money
has already been used, as measures
necessary to secure the Carpathian
passes are already in hand. Re-
garding The state of affairs
in Roumania, Tisza tsaid: The
reports were rather eXag-
gerated, but not groundless.
The government knew what was
SOIhS, Va tbu ~ nav
no reason to suspect hostile de-
signs, he thought it unsafe to ex.
plain what was passing on either
side of the frontier, but he did not
think it necessary to take precau-
tons in Pennsylvania.
1t is announced beforehand that
the leader of the opposition in the
lower House will not raise the
question of policy, and when the
principal lawyer of the party in the
House of Lords will not throw his
objections into the form of resolu-
tons, the mere discussion Of the
Constitutional law of the case
would be more suitable for de-
batting society. The fact is that the
issues of the present crisis having
passed beyond the control of even
the British Parliament, the general
policy of the government has
received at its most critical stage
the support of the country, and the
ministry have accordingly taken
steps which leave the next turn of
events in other hands.
The statements of Prince Auer-
sperg and Herr Tisza in the Aus.
trian Reichsrath and the Hungari-
an Diet, respectively, are wei! re-
ceived in Vienna and have made a
favorable impression.

LONDON, May 15th.-The move
ment of Indian troops to Malta will
be discussed in the House of Lords
Monday, and Baron Melbourne will
call attention to the question
whether such movement previous
to notifying Parliament, is consti-
tutional. The opposition, however,
will not move any resolution on
the subject in the House of Lords.
Lord Hartington's resolution in the
House of Commons is declared by
him as not intended to raise the
question of the policy of using the
Indian forces, but merely the legal
issue.

BERLIN, May 15th.-At the re-
ception of Ministers yesterday, the
Emperor said that such occurrences
as Hoedeps attempt ought by no
means to be treated too lightly. AT
the time when he himself was a
member of the Ministry he had al
ways insisted upon the danger
which would result from the trl-
umph of the tendencies of period
hostile to the State. His apprehen-
slons were confirmed by 1S4S. Now
it was in a still higher degree the
duty of the government to make
every exertion to prevent the revo-
lutionary element from gaining the
upper hand. Before the police
Hoedel reiterates his assertion that
he did not shoot at the Emperor,
but several witnesses depose that
they saw him aim at His Majesty.
1t is expected that his trial before
the High Court will begin shortly.
The penalty for his crime Is death.
