A new journal has recently been started In
Paris in the interest of tho Great Exhibition of
next year. One of its objects is to give pub
licity to ollicial documents beuring on the exhi
bition, and information useful to exhibitors;
another, to establish a general international
agency wheieby the journal will be in constant
correspondence with commissioners, commit
tees, and other bidies delegated to the exhibi
tion from foreign countries. It is in direct rela
tion with the Imperial Commission, which may
be reached through its columns. One of its
features will be a scries ot biographical sketches
of the principal manufacturers aud inventors
whose works are to be in the exhibition, of
which descriptions will be given while the ex
hibition is in progress, toaelher with reports
of the different Juries and their awards. Agents

The publication ol hi3 translation of Homer
lat year by Lord Derby caused his political
opponent, Mr. Gladitone, to ahaudou a transla
tion of the same poet, upon which he had been
engaged for years. He has since changed his
determination, we now learn, and in due time
another English Homer will appear, bearing on
its title-page us translator the name of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.
The original manuscript of numboldt'3
"Cosmos" wa recently presented to tho Em
peror Napoleon by M. Buschmnnn, Royal Libra
rian and member of tlie Berlin Scientific Aca
demy, who was employed by Humboldt to write
out tho woik from his rough notes, which were
so often corrected and enlarged that a complete
and clean copy was neoessr.ry for the printer,
each sheet being literally covered by the
cramped and frequently illegible writing ot the
' old 8atant. M. Buschmann carefully preserved
the manuscripts, which make five large quarto
volumes. The Emperor was pleased to accept
them, we are told so pleased, indeed, that ho
gave M. Buschmann the medal of the Legion of
Honor.
Messrs. Hurd & Houehton have in prepara

f the Supremo Court of Missouri, and "Shake-
epaare's Delineation of Insanity, Imbecility, and
Suicide," by Dr. O. A. Kelloge, Assistant Physi
clan of the Utica Insane Asylum. The writer of
tho first adopts what may be called the Baconian
Ikiory of the Shakespeare problem. Judge
Holmes is a believer in Miss Delia Bacon, who
wa- a believer In Lord Bacon, to the extent that
it was he, and not Williaai Shakespeare, who
jrrote Shakespeare's plays.
Mr. George Jesse has in the press "He-

posthumous work of M. Proudhon's, which
consisted of skeptical notes on the Evangelists.
A new periodical has recently appeared in
England, bearing the imprint of Messrs. Strahan

The Senate and the President A Compro
mise Demanded by the Country.
From the Times.
The closeness of the vote in Connecticut on
Monday, as well as the pause in the proceedings
of tho Senate, surely combine to suggest that
moderate concession and a reasonable degree of
conciliation are required to avert the difficulty
between Congress and the Executive. The cause
of the poseponeir.ent of debate on the veto is
favorable to the calm reflection which must pre
cede reconciliation. The death of Senator Foot
should call forth something more worthy of his
character than stereotyped eulogy and formal
regrets; and what is more befitting the occasion
than the exercise of the kind, forbeanng spirit
which won for him universal respect and an
influence which men of more brilliant parts
have failed to acquire V
If the life of the deceased Senator teach aught
worthy of being remembered by his associates,
it is that there should bo no divorce between
principle and courtesy; that adheronco to one's
own convictions is compatible with the fullest
respect for tho convictions of others; that to
accomplish practical results in statesmanship,
as in ordinary life, there must be a reciprocal
yielding up ot points not essential to the main
V: ... ...' C . 1 LVaI ..... . J u i 1 . . .

respects an exemplar that may be profitably
studied by some whom he has left. Never a
trimmer or waveier in politics, he fouud it
not necessaiy to justify his patriotism by im
pugning the patriotism of others. Difference
ol opinion, whether in reference to enda or
means, was not held by him to bo a reason lor
imputing dishonesty. He had so little ot the
Pharisee in his nature, that he was never
tempted to rise in his place in the Senate
Chamber and thank God that ho was purer,
better, wiser than his neighbors. He did not
contound insolence with integrity, intolerance
with consistency, nor savaeo obstinacy with
adherence to principle. And most devoutly Is
it to be desired that in all these feature of his
character he may be imitated by those who are
most loud in their prdlessions of love and
veneration towards his memory.
v The temper of such an one as Senator Foot
will bo pre-eminently salutary and useful when
action upon the veto is invoked. Disguise It
as we may, the contest which is threatened is
pregnant with contingencies that cannot be
contemplated without anxiety. More depends
upon the manner in which the subject shall be
approached than upon the mere fact of its dis
posal. Tho veto may be sustained without ne
cessarily entailing a final rupture between the
President and any considerable proportion of
the Republican party; or it may bo overridden
without exhibiting members of that party in
the llgh of assailants or enemies of the Presi
dent But these results are possible only on
the supposition that Senators enter upou the
discussion with a proper regard lor the rights,
and a proper respect tor the opinions and feel
ings of the writer of the message under con
siderstiou. '
If thev would avert difficulty unattended with
danger, they should muke up their mluds to deal
with the document belore them on Its merits; to
remember thnt the President has transmitted it
in the performance of a constitutional duty, and
to lndee oi'its obleqtions and areuments soberly
and civilly. Abuso of Andrew Johnson will not
prove that the Civil Richts bill is either politic
or constitutional. Threatening or bragtradoclo
ill not overthrow his loulc. or convict him of
trespassinsr bejond his province. His argument
mttitt be met with argument. His allegations of
iincoiiptitutionahtv must be remitted by proofs
that his rendering of constitutional provisions
is at variance with that of acknowledged
authorities. ' '
A discussion of this kind will be seemly and In
order, and will reconcile tlia country to the de
cision, be It what it may. Any other ft.vlo ot de
bate will convert the semblance f a breach into
! a formidable reality ; and while convincing the
country that the President Is light and the oppo
sition to him wroutr, will necessitate and lUBtify
the use of all the means placed at his command,
under the letter of tho Constitution, for the pro
tection of his position.
There mieht be some excuse for a trial of
strength, irrespectlv0 of consequences, if the
purposes of tho Presldt were shown to be at.
variance with the ostensible object of the
measure he has vetoed. But this plea is not
available. If tho Civil Rights bill be a bill to
protect tho Civil rights of the freodmen, and
nothing more, its aim is in accord with the
viows and alms of the President. His rejection
ot the measure applies, not to the object as thus
understood, but to the agencies to Da created
and the means to bo employed for its accom
plishment. To assume, then, that so far as this
end is concerned, concert of action between
Congress and the President is impossible, Is to
insult the capacity ot th former, or to attribute
to the latter a want of sincerity. The country
will not sustain a charge ot this kind against
the President, until he refuse to siirn a bill
divested of the extraneous and unconstitutional
characteristics to which he has obiected. And
an unwillingness on the part ol Congress to en
deavor to care for the freedmT. by a iresort to
less obnoxious machinery; or the assertion of a
less obnoxious authority, than is covered by tho
vetoed bill, will generate the idear that tho
wellBre ot the emancipated slave Is a mere
pretext for the furtherance of some unavowed
purpose.
Instead of using the debate on the veto as an
opportunity for intensifvlns the diflerenc be
tween the President and the majority in Con
gress, we would lam hope that it will be made
the groundwork of a oommomise which shall
restore cordial harmony to the two branches of
tne tiovernmem. A compromise there must be.
sooner or Inter, or a dead-lock will be inevitable.
I he nnauclul and business interests ot the couti
try are suffering from leeislatlve neglect. To pre
cipitate a crisis now, as between uonjrress and
the President, will bo to prolong the uncertainty
which has already operated disastrously upon
every material interest, and at no distmt dav
to produce n crisis to which even politicians
cannot pretend to oeinniuerent.

the President The Southern States Re

from the lltratd.
The President has tittinily celebrated the first
'anniversary of the fall of Richmond by the pub
lication of a proclamation officially announcing
tho Rebellion at an eud, peace restored, the
State Governments again reconstructed and in
working order, and the General Government
firmly in power throughout the entire Union.
The great purpose and object of the w ar was
the preservation of the Union. To doubt this
was till lately but little less than treason; aud
manv who from time to time ventured to declare
that the object ot the war was the conquest and
destruction ot certain States were lor no other
reason classed as lecble friends, if not positive
foes of the country. Indeed, the declaration
that the war was one of oppression, subjuga
tion, and conquest was tue st aple ot those who op
posed the war and Impuucd our motives, whether
In the South, in England, or in the Rebel press
of our Northern cities. All the country can
remember well the supreme scorn and indigna
tion with wnicu tne orators ot tue ncpubiican
party denied the declarations ot tue enemy
Each vied with the other in the endeavor to
give more forcible expression to the great pur
pose of the people that the war was to maintain
the Union, and to show that if the war should
involve the abolition of slavery it would be only
as an incident, and not as a primary object.
We were even reproached by Earl Russell with a
want of this purpose against slavery.
Congress, in sympathy with the people, went
to the limit of the language to give emphasis to
the declaration that the war was a war lor the
Union. Just alter the battle ot Bull Run it
adopted a resolution in which were these words:
"In this national emergency Congress, ban
ishing all feeling ot mere passion and resent
ment, will recollect only its duty to the whole
country ; that this war is not prosecuted upon
our part in any spirit of oppression, nor lor any
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor tor the
purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions of those States,
hut to dclend and maintain the supremacy of
the Constitution nd all laws made in pursuance
thereof, and to preserve tho Union, with all tho
dignity, equality, and rights of the several
States unimpaired ; that as soon as these objects
are accomplished the war oupht to cease."
Nothing could be more emphatic or positive
than this.
But there was one representative who believed
that even this did not go tar enough as to the
pteservation of the States, and who therefore
desired to go further. This whs Thaddcus Ste
vens, of Pennsylvania. On December 4. ltiii'2,
that gentleman offered in Congress resolutions
declaring that "the Union must be and remain
one and indivisible forever;" and also that "if
any person in the employment of the United
States.in either the legislative or executve branch
should propose to make peace, or should advise
the acceptance of any such proposition on any
other basis than the integrity and entire unity
ot the United (States and their Territories as they
existed at the time of the Rebellion, he will be
guilty of a high crime."
Such was the position at that time of Con
press, of the country, and of the Republican
party, then in sympathy with the people and ex
pressing tho popular wdl. At that time Con
gress, the President, and the pesple were asked
to acknowledge that the abolition of slavery was
the object of the war, and they repudiated the
thought. Congress was asked to declare that
the States which rebelled had forfeited their ex
istence as States. Mr. Conway, of Kansas,
offered a resolution declaring "that the Ameri
can Union consists of those States which are
now IotrI to thp Forlorn! Constitution." It wnw
tabled by one hundred and thirty-two VOtOS
.Dir. cenway uunseii being the only person who
voted in its iavor. By the light of these facts it
is readily seen that the now dominant faction In
Congress which claims to ba the Republican
party, the Union party, the party that carried
the country through the war, is not that party
at all. Thaddeus Stevens is jiow rampant for
Congress to commit what, as a Republicau, he
declared would be a high crime. Congress now
dally assumes that the Concessional declara
tion of Ibtil was a gigantic falsity, and acts on
that very negation of the States which is voted
down as outrageous.
The President alone adheres to and maintains
the great national principles and policy ot the
party that carried (he country through the war.
Abandoned by Congress, he has, pursued to their
logical conclusions, without reference to that
body, the principles enunciated in the resolu
tions quoted above and iu his proclamation of
peace and union. All the States have now,
since the nullification of the ordinance of seces
sion by the Texas Convention, done all that lay
in their power towards once more taking their
proper position in the Union. It ouly remained
tor the president to do the rest on behalf of the
country. His clear duty was to pronounce their
complete restoration, and this he has promptly,
boldly, aud unreservedly doue. He has done
this entirely without reeard to the present
course of Congre-s, nnd really in delauce of It.

The Bankrupt Bill.
f rom the Tribune.
We hoi I that tho State has no moral right to
fetter peimancntly the energies ind discourage
the hopes of its ciil.cus who may have bopu
onco unfortunate in business. We deny tbat it
is either politic or just to mortgage the futuro
earning ol a debtor who, being unable to pay
his creditors in full, has honestly surrendered
his whole property, aud whose assets boar , a
reasonable proportion to his obligations. We
affirm that to hold the sword of the law over
such a man's head indefinitely Is a wronir to
him, no benefit to his creditor, and a serious
injury to society In general. Hence we lielieve
in a bankrupt law, and we earnestly hope the
House will Mr. Jenekes' bill.
We must presume the Uouso has examined
ihis measure, yet we hear ot no serious objec
tion to any part of it. The bill Is not rejected
because ot its imperfection, but because of its
perfection. It was before the last Conaress in
substantially the same shape as at present, and
was subjected to thp closest criticism. Last
Tuesday the House went through it, section bv
section, and its enemies could only object that
it was too well drawn. Indeed, the main fea
tures und principles of the bill are not experi
mental nor theoretical, but have stood the test
ol experience in several States, and are lirmly
established by repeated judicial decisions. Mr.
Jenekes bus framed his bill upon the model of
the Massachusetts Insolvent Laws, which have
grow n into a system through the Urtace of many
Tears, and are Generally considered by the pro
fession the bert existing In this country, or in
Kufthmd. Those who oppose the billl do so on
uneral principles. They do not waut any
Bankrupt law.
But we believe nay, we are sure the country
dees want a bankrupt law, and that tho measure
is not less populsr with tho creditor class than
with the deotor class. Business men as a ride
know their own Interests. They know that a
man who has tailed, hus tho lite crushed out of
him by a condition of the law which permits a
creditor to pounce on the first thousand dollars
that bis debtor struggling up again in the world
can make. Whereas, if you give tha. debtor a
legal release, you set Wm on his fee, you en
courr.ee him to start airesh, you enable him to
acQiiirothe means eventually to nay thoc very
debts the legal existence ot which would have
prevented his making tho effort. You give com
fort to his lumily: you add wealth to society.
In the wreck and prostration of business inter
ests which the last live years have witnessed,
there ure hundreds of thousands wai'lntr the
passuge of this Bankrupt bill as the signal of
tueir emancipation.
Their property is gone; their creditors will pet
nothlns if ttie bill doesn't puss; they cannot be
any w orse off if you pass a doen such laws. Tho
Chombeis of Commerce of New York, of Boston,
and many other cities, representing the creditor
class, have recognized this by their approval ol
the bill In question. Tho House may well abide
by the judament. of the only class which can
ever theoretically be deemed opposed to the
measure.
The majority against the bill last Wednesday
was small, the vote being .r9 to 7U. A motion to
lay on the table, a motion to reconsider, by
w hich its enemies hoped to kill It finally, was
immediately alter lost by 59 to C8, and the
subject was postponed till April 4. We trust
no Irlend of the bill will fail to be present when
it again comes up.
A Little Stoiy with a Little Moral.
From the Daily News.
There is a story extant, written In most ex
cellcnt French, concerning the father of the
present Bey ot Tunis, which, while it indicates
a barbarous condition of society, and a serious
disregard of human life under the Crescent,
still bears with it a moral that cannot escape
the reflecting mind. This morose ruler, it is
said, was once waited upon by the Admiral
commanding the French fleet in the Meditcr
ranean Sea, who paid him a visit of cere
mony, accompanied by the chiet officers
of his squadron. In au anto-chambor of the
palace, a lunctionary of state met them and
with profound salums informed the Admiral
that his Royal Highness would shortly irive
them audience, and beirtred that the visitors
would pardon his absence for a short time, as
he was engaged at that moment in squaring
accounts w ith one ot his ministers.
Tho Admiral, in response to this, declared hi3
wuilnenesB to await his sublime aiaiesty's con
vemence. In so doing, both he and his officers
were struck with the mysterious sounds which
emanated (torn behind the velvet curtains which
led into the grand audience chamber. What
ever mmlit be the uey s method ot settling up
wuh his relractory Minister, it was evident that
that official, or somebody else, was faring badly
uurinc the operation, nut lor tne improbability
of the thing, It would have appeared that that
aaiunct to Government was subjected to tho
rudest tieatment in the way of blows and all
manner ot objurgations.
After a while, however, a deathly silence
supervened to the noise ot struggling behind
the curtain, the drapery was drawn to either
side, aud the Admiral and his suite appeared
belore the Bey, who, seated on his throne,
seemed trom his flushed countenance and his
angry frown to have undergone no little excite
ment. When the expressions of compliment
were got through with, and the Bey had grown
a little calmer, a slave in attendance was ordered
to remove the cloak trom something lying at
the loot of the throne.
The order was obeyed, and his Sublime
Mightiness, directing the attention of his visitors
to it, remarked: "That carrion, an hour ago,
was my Minister ot War. At the time ot your
airival 1 was engaged in settling auairs with
him. Last week I indicated a certain change in
military affairs as tho best, in my judgment, for
Tunis; ana tne man whose carrass is belore vou.
notwithstanding the fact that he is supposed to
assist u?v Government, advocated, and as for as
be could, carried out exactly a dillerent policy,
For that reason, and f or the good of this peorlo
I hse been compelled to satisfy justice by
applying the bastinado ana the oowsinng to
him. I have ouly to add that I gave him his
choice between a cup of poisoned cotfeo or
Btrar sling, and he chose tho latter; and you
will perceive that everything that could bo
done, consistently with honor, was done in his
case."
As we havo before remarked, this little inci
dent in the Bey's htstory, while it has its dark
shades, has also Its gleams of light. While we
would naturally deprecate so sudden and ab
rupt a conclusion of an official or ministerial
career even, for example, in the case of Mr.
Stanton it Is not to be denied that the prompt
ness with which this half-barbarous Prince dis
possessed himself of an incubus upon his ad
ministration, and an obstacle to his authority, is
much to be commended. And we cannot close
the narrative of this brief story without de
claring that it carries with It a most excellent
moral for Christian rulers, and, among them
shall we say if Mr. Johnson.
Prospect of a Great War.
From the World.
The last steamer from Europe brings news full
of interest. Prussia and Austria are exchanging
hostile notes, mustering armies on their respec.
tive frontiers, and the next steamer may bring
us "the clash of resouuding arms." There is,
consequently, excitement on the stock exchanges
of Europe; tho funds are falling; and a, pause
has been given to speculative enterprises.
The cause of this quarrel is no mystery. It
relates to the disposition of the Duchies of
Schleswlg and Holstein, which were won by the
combined German armies from Denmark. Aus
tria is w illing to divide the spoils, to make the
l
Duchies an independent power, or even lo give
I'rusia the lion h share, includlnir the harbor of
Kiel i but Prussia insts's upon annexing both
tne Duchies to her own dominions, and will
mnkfno concessions to either Austria or the
fjerrosii Confederation. ' ' j
Should Von Bismarck Miceeed in this daring
but dishonest scheme, it will make Prussia the
master ot Germany, and degrade Austria to the
position of a third-rate power. Should a war
break out between these two powers it would
almost inevltnbly Involve the ret ot Europe.
Austria's difficulty would be Italy'aopportuiiity,
nnd a dash would probably be made at Venetia.
Indeed, there are so many grave possibilities
growing out ol this war that the news by tho
next steamer will bo looked for with eager
interest.
