A year ago it was publicly announced
that Gen Grant had resolved to lead
the life of total abstainer, and the
friends of temperance throughout the
entire country went nearly wild with
delight. How humilliating it must be

pomatox gulping down such an inn

. Diplomatic DIscourtesy. y

Perhaps this is as good specimen
of it as any
"The power Of this Republic at the
present moment is spread over a region
one of the richest and most fertile on
the globe, and of an extent in compare
son whith which the possessions Of the
house of Hapsburg are but as a patch
on the earth's surface. Its population,
already twenty-five millions, will ex-
ceed that Of the Austrian Empire with
in the period during which it may be
hoped that Mr.. Hulsmann may yet re-
main in the honorable discharge OF his
duties to his Government"
The above taunt, addressed directly
to the Austrian Minister, is from the
pen Of Daniel Webster, Secretary Of
State, December a1, 1850. If any
such boasting could be found in Mr..
Blaine's dispatch on the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, how the Boston papers
would belabor him! And yet Mr..
Webster's language was so applauded
at the time as patriotic utterance that
the friends of Mr.. Everett were proud
to claim the actual author
ship of the dispatch for HIM! What a
difference the ownership Of the gored
OK does make with the average Boston
critic! Tile Adayisey Of that city is
eager, we believe, to have Mr.. Freling-
huysen cat "hunble pie" and ask to
Withdraw Mr. Blaine's insolent dispatch,
and The Herald thinks we have es-
caped actual ho ostilities with England
by having Mr.. Blaine leave the State
Department! These Boston papers
evidently misconceive the true value of
the buster and bravado of the English
press.
Meanwhile we are happy to observe
that the great majority of the American
newspapers and the great mass Of
American citizens are not mislead or
disturbed by it. They stand with firm
ness and with enthusiasm in favor OF
the broad American doctrine laid down
in Mr.. Blaine's dispatches. Nor have
they on careful perusal of those dis
patches seen one discourteous or un-
dlgnifed word. The actual tone Of
Mr.. Blaine's dispatch, so far as cour-
tesy is involved, may be conclusively
inferred from the following taken from
the instruction to Mr.. Lowell:
In presenting the views contained
herein to Lord Granville, you will take
occasion to say that the Government
of the United States seeks this particu-
lar time for the discussion as most op-
perfume and auspicious. At no period
since the peace of 1888 have the rela-
tions between the British and American
Governments been SO cordial and
friendly as now. am sure her Majes-
tvs Government will find in the views
now suggested and the propositions
now submitted, additional evidence of
the desire of this Government to re.
move all possible grounds of controver-
sy between two nations which have so
many interests in common and so
many reasons for lasting and honora-
lie peace.
Won't the Boston papers publish this
paragraph along with Mr.. Webster's,
just to prove how discourteous the tone
of Mr.. Blaine's dispatch is?-N y

THE COMING CONTEST.
Preparing for the Congress
siOnaI Fight.

Washington, S.-The coming contest
for control of the next House Of Repre-
sentatives is conceded TO be close, and
both parties are preparing to fight every
inch Of debAtSble ground. Democrats
hope for control. Ever since 1860
they m have gained largely in of
years, and the fight between the
sta.wart and Garfield factions gives
them grounds for expecting losses to the
republicans, especially in New York and
nnsylvaniG. Republicans, however,
bsseihe hope Of continuing the ma
jority in the house upon the advantages
OF reappOrtioniBg and TedistrictiHg
Maine, which has three republicans. and
two Opposition, will elect her reduced
delegation of four by general ticket.
These will undoubtedly be republican, 8
loss Of two to the democrats and gain of
one to the republicans. In Ohio the re-
distrlcting is held to be greatly to the Ad-
vantage Of republicans. HubbelPs in.
formation from Pennsylvania and New
York, is favorable to harmony IN the
party in these states. Virginia redis-
tricting almost assures gain of two OPP
position members. In Mississippi it is
said the redistricting has been made in
such Q wav as unintentionally to give
good chance for a gain of three republic
can mem ers. The state has been CHS
elled into most grotesqus Districts. One
contains $4,000 more population than
any other in the state. 1t is ssid the sp-
portion meat act. which requires that
each district shall contain rs nearly as
practical, an equal nun Der ofinhsbitants
is SD gro.sly violated by the Mississippi
Epportionm mt thai the entire delegation
might bs excluded from the next Con-
gress, if its exclusion would serve to give
control Of the House to either party.
Some Of the democratic committees do not
admit these claims. but they are not con-
Hdent of making very large game.

CONVERSATIONS and Reflections

Washington, 4.-The Senate, in ex-
eeutive session, confirmed the domination
of James NJ. Wilson, of Missouri, for
consul at Three Rivers, Quebec, and
ratifedsthe commerce treaties recently
negotiated with Reumsnis and Servia.
The Senate then, without debate or aRy
call for division, rejected the nomination
of Pay Director James q. Watmough,
as paymAster-genersl of the navy, and
Master Samuel Seabury as naval con-
tractor, thus agreeing to the adverse re-
ports made on these nominations by the
naval affairs committee.

" Very Broad"

HOW THE FRENCH OPERA MADAME FAVART
LOOKED TO A COUNTRY CORRESPONDENT Al
PERFORMED by THE CONFEDERATION CON.
PANY AT THE RICHMOND THEATRE.
In his last letter to the HdlUaz Record
from Richmond "E." says;
In company with some ladies few eve
nings since, in Richmond, the question OF
the opera was raised, when one said TO the
other: oh, cousin, are you going? 1t is
so brodd-So gerry broad" Thereupon they
decided not to go that night, but to go to
the matinee next day. Thinks / to my
self, / shall 60 to see this opera that is
so very broad; and a sight il was. In
the bright light of hundreds OF gas
Jets that lighted up the Theatre, pack
ed from pit to dome with the beauty
and chiyalry of Richmond, the performance
commenced, and saw what TO Richmond
lady was considered very broad. Some
forty beautiful young girls, varying in age
from sixteen to twenty, dressed in-Car-
penter, must tell the truth-what was
told was stockinet. To an unsophisticated
countryman, as l hope to be saved,
thought there was nothing. "Good
fathers" says / to myself, rs l hid be-
hind a pillar, "they have made mistake,
and raised the curtain too soon." l heard
a sort OF rustling, and l looked. The
sweetest music rayished my ears, and such
a food of melody as l never heard before
filled the house. In front Of me was the
Governor, and to my right two judges
of the Court Of Appeals. Well, says 1, il
they can stand 1t, can; so / got pair
Of opera-glasses, and took look. l found
matters not quite so bad. They all had on
swalow-tailed coats, made exactly as gen.
uemen's dress coats, only they were made
OF satin, and around the waist 4 broad band
of satin ribbon from six to eight inches
broad. All! says j, poor Tom Of Coventry,
you did but risk one eye, and all the doors
OF Coventry were closed as the beautiful
Lady Godiva rode through the streets, and
here in Richmond, in the blaze OF the civili-
cation of the nineteenth century, some for
ty or fifty beautiful females are exposed to
the gaze of hundreds of the very elite OF
Richmond society. They say this is the
French style. The acting was very fine,
and the singing surpassed anything l have
ever heard before.
In an editorial paragraph the Record
says:
The last Mozart was very much en-
joyed. STANDARD.
Perhaps that was the mozart" Of
which our correspondent "E." gives q
graphic description in his interesting letter
published in this weeks Record.
