being informed last night OF the conclusion
Of the Tunis treaty, directed her representa-
tives abroad TO sound the Governments to
whom they are accredited as TO the prOpriGty
of converting conference, to which France
should he invited. 10 submit a treaty. Prince
Bismarck, upon receiving the suggestion,
ordered the German ambassador at Rome

The French Tariff.

LONDON, Nav 1.-THE correspondence
between Lord Granville, Foreign Secretary,
and NJ. ChaIlemel LacOur, the French AM
bassador here, relative to the commercial
treaty, is published. Nj. Challemel Lacour
informs Lord Granville that he thinks un-
necessary excitement prevails in England
in regard to the changes IN the French
tariff. France, be says, intends TO abolish
al u0torem duties, but she desires and in
tends 10 replace them by direct equivalent
amount in specific duties. Lord Granville
replies that it will afford much satisfaction
10 England to learn that France does not
contemplate departure from the status quo.
1t is to be noted that the fulfilment OF NJ.
Chalemel Lacour's assurance depends en-
tirey on the negotiation OF a new treaty,
which is doubtful. Under a general tariff,
not modified BY treaty, the status quo will
certainly not be maintained.

4 ,entlv uursued in the Senate.

q Iently pursued IN the senate.
1t was a very easy matter tor the New
York Senator, Mr.. Conkiing, to take to
his embrace and welcome to his side Ct
the 8 ,nate, the renegade from Demo
cratic ranks, after he had been informed
by his Pennsylvania co-laborer In the
venality, of the bargain and sale.
Now, does a majority acquired by the
purchase OF one vote, acquire the right
to rule tie affairs of this nation? 1t
may rule; but not by "rght." Gen.
Mahone's vote paid for out OF the official
perquisites within the reach of Exeeu-
tive bes' owment, may determine re-
suits; may make laws and treaties in one
way, which, were it not purchased thus
by party, would be made in another
way. 1t may determine who shall be
the beneficlaries of official distinction
and it may, thus purchased, go to make
up the majority. But it is not such
majority as the people OF this great
country consider as is entitled to the
right to govern.
The precedent that is set IN the Senate
by this venal action, if venal it be, is
one that is adverse to every principle
upon which the institutions Of this
country is based. 1t may be far-reach-
ing and more damaging to the.nation
than the parties to it are aware Of. II
has its root in the purchase of position
by the elder Cameron, the tangs of
which sank deep into the vitals of
the Keystone State the ramlfcations OF
which are now seen displaying them
selves in rascalities at each succeeding
election, by which the voice of the peo-
pie is smothered, and what was afore-
