A Diplomatic Conundrum.

LONDON, July 2s,-A dispatch to the Times
from Bucharest says England has been the
only great European state to recognize the
rank of diplomatic agent, and those small
principalities in the orient whose adhorauce
to tho forms Of etiquette hears an inverse
ratio to their extent of territory are prone to
magnify mole.hills into mountains in cases
where their national dignity is involved,
The Roumanians ardcntly desire minister
from America. Failing this, however they
would gladly accept charge d'afdirs, but
they appear determined TO waste time before
being content with tho diplomatic agent and
consul-generl provided for them by tho last
American congress. This discussion las been
delaying Mr.. Eugene Schuyler's arrival at
Bucharest, where the United States has given
its representative the rank Of legation. Amer
lean diplomacy has accomplished somo queer
results in the old world, but il remains to be
seen how the Washington cabinet will recon
clio this latest invention with the traditions
and regulations governing the relations with
European dipomatists. Why the American
occupant of legation should be consul
general while his colleagues are ministers Is
q conundrum."

The democrats picked out one of the very
meauest doughftces of their party when they
no minated William II. English for vice.
president. No wonder the ticket is heartily
supported by the buldozers of the south. He
was the willing and olllcious tool Of the slave

will be tho equally servle instrument of

cringiug to the old slave lords, look Mt his record
on the Preston S. Brooks outrage upon Senator
Sumner When the house of representatives

was q square issue made on the question, aud
the lucs were drawn between the lovers of
order and dcconcy on Que side and tho hot
heads the south aud their HpOogsts in tho
north on the other. There were in the house
at that time 81 republicans, II Americans,
and l3l democrats. Two reports We're made
by the committee appointed to consider the
assault on Sumner. The majority report
recommended the expulsion OF Brooks, aud
expressed disapprobation of the acts of Keith
and EdmonsOn, who seconded Brooks in
his attack. One hundred and twenty.
one members voted to expel, and 95 against.
OF those voting against the report, 50 were
