BERLIN, June l5.-It has leaked out
thsts most important incident, which
was kept secret, terminated the first ses-
sion of Congress on Thursday. Lord
Bssconsfeid demanded energetically
that an arrangement should be at once
made by which the Russian army and
the British feet should withdraw stimuli
taneously from the vicinity of Constsn-
tinople during the session of the Con-
gress, SO rs TO remove all possible sourse
of danger to the peace Of Europe until
final settlement could be arrived at.
Prince Gortschakof, on the part of Rus-
sia.
Expressed the Strongest Opposition
To this proposal, insisting on the neces-
sity of the Russian forces remaining In
the positions they now occupy until the
Congress should come TO final decision
on the questions to be laid before it. This
pronounced divergence OF opinion
showed the diplomstists present the ex-
treme delicscy and difficulty of the task
they had undertaken, and dissipsted the
sanguine expectations with which some
of them had come to the Congress.
Count An2rassy, seeing
The Danger of the Situation,
Interposed and made strong appeal to
the Russian and English representatives.
to compromise this matter for the time
being, so that the Congress might 60 on
with its work; but neither would yield a
single point, and Andrassys appeal was
in vain. A really embarrassing situstion
was thus presented to the delegates at the
very outset, and they were
Utterly AT IA Loss what 10 DO.
Prince Bismarck, with his usual
prompti.ude and vigor, seeing that fur
ther discussion was useless, determined to
adjourn the session to Monday, so AS to
allow of private efforts TO compromise the
difficulty, and to develop plan to meet
the emergency in case both parties should
persist in maintaining the position taken.
This is regarded as the Only way the
matter could be then disposed OF, as the
Congress could make no progress in the
face of such an ugly hitch.

duties of his Office before the snow flies.
The Marquis is the son of that wealthiest
and most ancient of Scottish noblemen, the
Duke of Argyle, and the son-in-law of Queen
Victoria, having been fortunate enough to
win the love and the hand of the Princess
Louisa. He is young man of excellent
private character, considerable of littera-
teur and patron of the fine arts, and man
of some ability as a politician. He is the
first nobleman of the realm who has ever
been permitted to wed princess of the
royal blood, and is therefore very near to
the throne. His wife is said to be the most
loveable of all of Victoria's children, highly
cultivated and talented, and thoroughly de-
voted to her husband. The appointment OF
the Marquis as governor general of Canada
will have tendency to draw the people OF
the dominion still closer, if possible, to the
throne. He is noted as one of the most lib
eral-minded and democratic of the British
peers and his rule will no doubt be marked
by the utmost benefcence.

Mr.. Poehler is a self-made man, and al
though he has been sent to the legislature
from Sibley county three or four times, he
has never been an office-seeker. On the
contrary he has been strictly man of bust
ness and has grown with the growth of the
State. AS he stated in his remarks accepting
the nomination, he has been a resident of
Minnesota for the last quarter of a century,
and, with the exception of the first two CT
three years, has resided continuously in Hen
derson, where he has, by steady application,
and sterling honesty, built up large
and lucrative business. Wherever Mr..
Poehler is known he is esteemed as an
intelligent. unassuming gentleman and
pleasant companion. In whatever station he
has been placed-public or priyate-he has
acted well and honorably his part, always
showing capacity for the duties before him
and we have abundant reason to believe that
should he be elected TO Congress, which now
seems more than probable, he will do credit
to the people of his district and reflect honor
upon himself. And if the Democrats Of the
district conduct the canvass with vim and
poll their full strength, we have no doubt Of
Mr.. Poehler's election. lie Sueur county
can and doubtless will give him at least 200
majority, and his own county (Sibley) ough
to give him from 500 to 1000 majority. L
Scott, Carver and Dakota counties come
within three-fourths of this relative vote
Henry Poehler will surely represent the Sec
end district in the next Congress.

sent, for if they had not, the whole scheme
would have gone by the board, and the cor
respondents story would have been spoiled.
The Greek prelate referred to entered into
the premier's little game with all his heart
and soul, and thus the Jewish Earl of Bea-
consfeld was given power of attorney to
convey the Anglican and the Greek churches,
with all their ordinances, dogmas, canons
and mummeries, to the Roman pontiff, to
have and to hold forever. It may therefore
be regarded as settled that the headquarters
of the ''truly universal church, will shortly
be removed from the Vatican to the holy city
of Jerusalem.
Thus do we see the dawn of the millennium,
SO long hoped and prayed for by the church
in all quarters of the globe. With few
strokes of his facile pen the Graphic cores
pendent has reconciled all the differences
that have for SO many ages separated the
creeds; obliterated all the traditional ami
mosities that have interrupted the flow of
fraternal feeling; united in one bond of fell
lowship three hundred and fifteen millions
of devout Christians. 1t illustrates how
grand results may sometimes flow from
simple means. A pen, a pot OF ink and a
few sheets of paper in the hands of a
Yankee newspaper correspondent have ac-
complished results which Popes and cardi-
nails, bishops and priests, philosophers and
statesmen have striven for centuries to at
tain. If they had but known how simple il
was to overcome such seemingly insuperable
difficulties, the 'struly universal would have
been an accomplished fact ages ago.

Elevation is not we believe, a character
istic of Gen. Grant. If he entertains a
peculiarly high opinion of his own ability
and proves as soldier, he has had the good
taste thus far to keep it to himself, or at least
not to make an ostentatious display of it.
An exception to the rule of his conduct is
fornd in his remarks apropos of the siege f
Vicksburg and the approach of Gen. Joe
Johnston to the relief of Pemberton, pub
lished in yesterdays GLOBE. Said Grant:
If had known Johnston was coming would
have told Pemberton to wait in Vicksburg until
| wanted him, awaited Johnston's advance and
given him battle. He could never have beaten
that Yicksburg army, and thus l would have
destroyed two armies, perhaps. Pemberton' s
was already gone, and l was quite sure of
Johnston's. | was sorry did not know john
ston coming until it was too late.
These remarks are an exhibition Of vanity
| that i'll becomes successful general, and are,
only Grant, but every private soldier in the
army of Investment, knew that Joe Johnston
was coming to the relief of the beleaguered
garrison, and were extremely solicitous lest
| he should arrive in season to afford relief. 1t
is matter of history that with this knowledge
the greatest exertions were put forth t, COM
pei capitulation before Johnston arrived.
Had the army of relief come to hand it is
not improbable that the campaign in the
| Southwest would have had an entirely differ
emit result, and that Grants subsequent his
tory would not have been what it is. It is
in exceeding bad taste that he should, al
this late day, attempt to magnify his own
prowess by an exhibition of boastfulness
such as this. He has honestly won laurels
enough to satisfy the ambition of any man
it is unnecessary that he should boast Of
what he could have done OF would have
done in certain contingencies declare
that the brave army at Yicksburg could
have successfully fought force double it
own. 1t is of piece with the ante belun
boast that one Northern man could whip
dozen Southerners, and in view of tn
wholly creditable record of both armies, i
is unseemly that the victor should indulge
in such senseless bloviation. It woult
have been better if these words had re
NAMED unsaid, for besides being calculate,
to lower Grant in the estimation of thos
who view his military record with pride
they are at variance with the truth, an,
will be apt to provoke resentment which cal
be productive only of harm and ill-feeline
