An appalling calamity bus Inttly bcl'iill-n it
portion of British India. Fauino has been
making ft'BiJul ruvaircs in the Bengal Presi
dency, and 1i the Madrui Presidqncy the dis
tresafrotn the came cause is described as only
Ipm terrible than that in Bonsai. Residents on
the spot triintwoi thy witnesses In endeavor
Initio give some Idea of the extent of the cala
niityt depict scenes of the most harrowiue
character. When the famine was at it heitrht,
the starving poor, wc arc told, crowded into the
streets of Calcutta, and it was estimated that no
fewer than 20,000 to 2.5,000 starving people were
wmidrrinn about the capital. At Miilliok'a
Ghat, where the Bombay merchants raiseil a
fund and distributed lood, there were at one
time 7000 lamishiinr applicants crowded up.
They were describ'd as placed in order upon
an open spare waitiue for the distribution.
"On one side nearly 4000 llindoos.each with a leaf
platter before hitn, were scattered on the wet
ground, hastily pariakiutr of the scanty dole
they received. On the other fide were thousands
of tuinlohinfr Mu9tiimans,rHiieed in like manner,
and watching with silent and srreedy caser
ne's the mpal of their Hindoo brethren,
and counting with bitter longings the in unites
till their turn should come. Under the shelter
of the (ihat crowded the women, girls, and
children. Outside the pates were nundrc ls and
hundred who had lost their chance till the uext
distribution. Hut over all a horrible dead
silence. No chattering or converse, hardly a
sound, excepting when at intervals some wretch
threw up his urma with an eleculntlon to
Heaven, wrung from him by the unappeasable
pauiis of hunger." More than this, oilicials
wrote home descriottons of meeting dead bodies
in every morning's ride bodies lying in the
road, with the village dogs eating them at lei
sure. A Calcutta journal stated that in Bala
ton1, having a population of 12,000, the deaths
amounted to 300 a day; and, or. the Government
demanding id its oilicials a report against the
libel, the Colleotor of the District replied that
on the 0th August he had 245 deaths in the city,
on the 8tb, 161, and tor the week ending the 9th,
1'20 a day, the bodies Boinclimes rcmatnlug
unbuned for three days. The province
ot Orissa suffered the most severely, oue
paper declaring that 400,000 souls have perished
in maritime Orissa alone. Indeed, a teleeraai
trom Inaia announces that half the popula
tion ot Orissa have perished in the famine that
is, fully two millions and a hulf of people ! An
English journal remarks: -It ia impossible, in
conceivable, incredible that so transcendental a
jiorror, oue so utterly Devond all precedeut, so
utterly beyond lniaginotiou. should actually
have occurred;" yet the same journal expresses
serious misgivings, that when the truth shall
have been fully ascertained, It will be found
that the estimate here given of the desolation
wrought by the-famine was nor, after all,
greatly exaggerated. It is thus it puts the mat
ter? "Two millions and a half of people I twice
the population ot Denmark or ot Greece, eight
Buffolks, six Hainpshires, live-sixths of Scotland,
dead of hunger. Twj million and a
half of men, and women, and babies, our sub
jects, dead of huneer! Why, wc are Christians,
and it but one woman so dies, move the whole
force of the State? to secure inquiry and relief
fvoni a horror which chills the warm comfort of
our wealth. It is a lie, Incredible and absurd."
VAnd yet and yet and yet," it signidcantly
adds, proceeding to adduce facts and figures cal
culated to show that, after all, the estimate
might be nearer the truth than the British
people imasrine, or would bo willing to admit.
For truly this famine this feurlul, desolatiug
calamity involves a terrible reproach to the
Government of British India. India is ruled by
the English on virtually despotic principle?, the
despotism being qunlitied professedly by the
"paternal" element. The Government exer
cises, In fact, absjlute power over the natives.
It has a vast revenue at command. It employs
a host of oilicials in every district. It is backed
by an immense military force.. It rules as il
pleases, without regard to the prejudices or the
wishes of its subjects. It is all-powerful in its
sphere; and being so, ail occurrence like this
famine canuot bo regarded otherwise than iu a
deep national disgrace. The famine mirht have
been foreseen and provided ageitist. In the dis
trict where the suderiug and the mortality was
greatest, she crops, we are informed, failed
almost entirely tor thre? suece9ive years. In
18C4 a cyclone worked terrible ravages, driving
masses of sand over the rice plains; the crops
of 18f:5 v. ere Jworse than those ot the year
before; and this year there have been none,
an inundation having swipt away the
last chance of the wretched cultivators. Yet
the Government at the lime the calamity fell
upon the country, was busying itself with
measures for increasing taxation, and drawing
larger rentals trom the natives: and while the
famine was doing its work of death, depopulat
ing whole districts, the Governor-General of
India and thp Lieutenant-General of Bengal, it
seems, were in the pleasant hills of the Hima
layas, enjoyine the cool clirante, and "ordering
stately ceremonials." And it is thus that Britisii
India is ruled I England, we are told nowa
days, holds ludia by a moral teuure, and for
moral purpose; and by this argument it is
attempted to justify what would otherwise b
utterly indrl'ensible as a monstrous usurpation.
But if tho sad history of the famine bo an illus
tration of the way ui wnleh the country is gov
erned, we fear the rulers of British India have
vet to learn what their responsibilities are to
the people of one of the most splendid regions
of God's earth.

The following telegram from the President to
the Governor of Texas has been published:
" W Abiungton, D. C, October 39 Your te'oirram

turtherto luenost than urtrlng upon the Lt-anslature

oivil war for the complete restoration of tbe Union
by the aitmissiou of loyal ltepreaeutative and
(Senators from ail the States to tn respective Houses
of the Congress ot the United Statoi.
r "Asdmw Johnson. "
The advice given by the President is most ex
cellent, and we trust it will have weight with
the Legislature or Texas. Aside, from the de
niauds of justice, tnere is nothing which can
conciliate public sentiment everywhere towanls
the States lately iu rebellion more rapidly and
thoroughly than their prompt aud voluntary
extension of lull and equal civil rights towards
those who were lately their slaves, but who are
now an integral part ot their lree and indepen
dent population.
The confidence expressed by the President in
the "ultimate" decision of the people is also
very well, uud is unquestionably just. But, as
aouve set ioitu, n i wuirwum too vague to
serve as a guide to his probable action, it may
mean simply that he has faith that the people
will ultimately take precisely the same view ot
the riehts. wants, and interests of the snnih
States as he has. hitbetto tuken himself; and if
that is an n menus, uis pruiession ot faith

The laiisrua.ro used may Indicate this and
nothins more. But w3 hop,' rot. Mr cue papu
lar decision, just pronounced in the elections,
seems to be oil. tied to mu li greater weipht
limn such an opinion would imply. President
.lolui'oti is a ma u of great ilrmness of convic
tion and of character. His opinions, formed
il"liberatily, are held with treat tenacity, und
are not surrendered inhtly or readily enhrr to
bosrile anraments or to niver.-.e verdict. . He
unquestionably bel'evcs thnt his views of rcs
totalion nre right, iut as dimly as ne did before
the people had decided against them. Tiiat
decision cannot nllect his opinions, but it may
very reasonably be expected to artect his action.
The popular will, tn this country and uniler our
iustitiuioiK, is a substantial and potential ele
ment of t lie Government. Whether wise or un
wise, just or unjust, magnanimous or vindictive
whether inspired by passion and prejudice or
prompted lolciy by culm judgment and sober
reuson It enters into the very substance ot all
authority. It is the very essence and vital
force of the Government, and cannot be disre
garded by any department of national power,
either with saletyto the public wellare or
without culpable disloyalty to the fundamental
principles of our institutions.
President Johnson is placed in a position of
very great difficulty acd dclicacv, oue trom
which high moral courage und a self-reliance
too genuine and sincere tor tbe indulgence of
petty passions und re.-entments, alone can extri
cate him. He cau persUt iu presin(r his per

and throws away, under strong nersonul intlu-
ences. opportunities of public service which it
is important lor the country that he should
eaibrace. Jt seems to us clearly his rieht an 1
bis duty to put nimself into relations oi kindlv
co-operation with the popular sentiment, as de
veloped and pronounced iu the recent elec
tions. We do not mean that he should surrender
his own oniuions of justice or ol risrhr. or udmt
views and purposes hostile to his peisonal con
victions. We do not exoect or desire him to
advocate confiscation, negro suffrage, abroga
tion of State liovernineiiis. nor any of the uiea
Mites which Phillips, Stevens, Boutwell, mid
others of that school claim to have been Indorsed
by the popular verdict. Nothing ot this is either
necessary or would be wise. Nothing of this
has beeu enjoined uuou the Government, in anv
department, by the result of the elections.
But the people hav.- decided something.
They have indicated a purpo-e and a spirit
which must be recognized ami be incorporated
uito any scheme of public policy which
looks to the neaccful. rernimiciit. unit 5r.iti.
tory restoration ot the Union. Tiiev have de
clared their conviction that the war. in its urn- I
cesses and results, in its ell xt upon social anl
political on-auizarioiis, in its deduction of sla
very, iu its overthrow of sttaU' claims to sove
rr icnty, in the burdens it litis impose I, the sacri
fices it has involved, the chanee u has wrought
iu the temper, opinions, and aims of the various
sections of our common country, has rendered
imperative certain correspon iiugchanaes iu the
forms and fuudameutal provisions of our Gov
ernment, aud that these changes shall not be
made and shaped either by direct action or
under the controlling intluwuce of those who in
the South foueht to destroy the Union, or of
thoe who iu the North gave tiiem aid and sym
pathy, open or tacit, or of bdtb combined. Tho
people have decided that some changes in our
C nsiitution and frame of government must be
n ade, and that they shall be made by the politi
cal organization and by tho men w ho stood by
tiie Government during the war, and carried
the country through that gre.it struggle to its
successful close. To this extent the popular
verdict is explicit and unini takablc. President
Johnson himself canuot doubt tor a moment,
that, w hatever else it may or may not mean, the
result of the late elections at all events means
this. He may not think that the people inten led
by those elections to dem iud, m the exact terms
of the Constitutional Amendment, precisely the
changes embodied in that resolution but he
canuot doubt that they did mean, aud do nieau,
lhat the substantial principles ot that amend
ment the main ends which it proposes the
absolute security of civil rights to all the people
of the United States the equalization of politi
cal representative power in the councils ot the
notion the exclusion for a time from othce ot'
leading actors In the Rebellion the repudiation
ot the Rebel debt, and the corresponding en
largement of the legislative power of Congress,
shall be incorporated into the frame and struc
ture ol our Government, as the essential condi
tion of its restoration.
It si-ems to us clearly tho duty of the Presi
dent bt cause it is clearly for the public good
to accept this decision of the people, and to
co-operate, not grudgingly nor captiously, but
in a spirit of wise and cordial isynipathy, with
those who are commissioned to give it elL-ct.
Such action on tis part is etill practicable, in
spite ot the obstacles thut have been thrown in
its way. It involves no sacrifice of personal or
official dignity no surrender of principle no
unoue or unseemly contorniity to policies
deemed unwise and perilous to the public good,
on tbe contrary, it seems to us- not only con
sistent in every way with a graceful deference
to that public sentiment for which the Presi
dent has always professed profound respect, but
to be required by that loyal regard lor the will
ot the people which is ot the very essence oi
our democratic and republican institutions.

from the Herald.
The United States war steamer Sus-ptehanna
left this port ou Saturliy alti-moou lust lor
Vera Crur, detailed to the special duty of bear
ing to Mexico our Minister to tuit Republic,
Hon. Lewis D. Campbi-ll, accompanied by Gene
ral Sherman, who iroe-. as a military observer
of events, and to give the benefit of his advice
and aid il necessary. Mr. Campbell is charged
with the mot important diplomatic tnisslou
emanating from our Govei anient since tho sail
ing of our Commissioners who negotiated the
peace or Ghent with Great BtiUiu, December 3,
18U. The objects of this expedition compre
hend the absolute abandonment of the Imperial
eutcipiueoi Louis Nnpoleon, root aud branch,
the recognition by France ot the Republican
uoveruinent ot Juaiez, a treaty of peace be
tween tuo overnnieuts. and a treaty between
eacn oi ini m ana tue United States. This is to
be accomplished, i we presume, by Minister
Campbell, assisted by the presence ol General
Sherman, lu behalf of the United States with
General Castlenau and Mar-hal Ba.aine in
behalf of Trance, and President Juarez and his
Secretary ot Stato, we uppo.-e, as the rcpre
bentatives ot tho Mexican Heoublic.
The whole credit of this grand undertaking
belongs to President Johnson and the Emperor
Napoleon, and may be fairly divided between
iheiii. As we are inlomicd, Mr. John sou more
than a iear ago became satisfied that this Moxi
can imbroglio, if lett to the red-tane diplomatic
correspondence thtu ijoiuff on between Mr.
Seward aud M. Drouyn de Lbuvs, would "drag
its slow length along'1 to the end ot tho exist
ing administration, without any other resulu
than additional complications, and that, ac
cordingly, some -shoiter road to a settlement
was demanded. Satisfied upon this point, as
we have been further advieed, President John
ton resolved to take the matter into his own
bauds, ami did so in a familiar letter to Napo
leon, frankly settiua forth the indexible ob
jections of the people of the United Htateg to a
European Government over Mexico lu auy
iUpe, 'Jl that lbi removal of hu Imperial
establishment and the reinstatement ot the Mexi
can Hcpublio in the Mexican capital were in
aiepeiisabli to the maintenance ol peaeogble'
teiaiit iifl between Fiance and tne United tates'
F:om the receipt of that lainilkr letter, Napo
leon began iully to realize the ucreiv ot bis
retirement from Mexico, and so began to cou
nt er the way and means of a vruceful com
plii.uce. His ob.ee: appears to hafy been a
withdrawal sogiadual as to make no perc nt,blc
iirpic.-sion iu Fruuee or Europe to his dis
advantage, and te doubtless hoped that his
Mexican lailure would bo completely milked
H the glory to France resulting trom his com
hinat ions and culculaiions con nor led with the
li te w ar with Prussia and Italy ngaiut Austria
and her German coniederates. The results of
that war. however, have been so tremendous in
enlarging the boundaries and the powers of
l'russia and the inestigo ol Bisn.ark at the ex
peme ol Napoleon, thai- tho Mexican fiasco m
the General account may be treated as worth
less bauurtdle.
Hence we find Vnpoloon. adoj-iing th wise
roolutiou ot getting out of thu Mexican fiifro
as fast as possible. Our Minister at Paris Mr.
Bicclow, to this end is Invited to meet' tbe
Emperor and his now Prime Minister M Motis
tier, at biarr'tz, where the arrangements nre
n ude winch have so fur been dve!oped la the
special mission of fieuerl Castlenau to Mexico
in the hasty retirement ol Maximilian, and m
the departure of Mr. Campbell and General
Sherman, charged with the instructions of our
tioxeiniti'ut lor Mexico. It U probabl,- that
but for the melancholy consequences of this
disastrous Imperial Mexican adventure to the
amiable and accomplished Empress Carlotta,
Mnxmnlin would have remained m the "halls'
of tbe Montezumns'' to meet General Castle
nau. for the purpose of formally turnin" over
to him, as the representative of Napoleon, the
Government received at his hands. We may
excuse the ungracious retreat of Maximiliun,
in view ol his great afliiction and me disap
pointment and losses ot his house, chargeable to
H'ur-ce aud Napoleon; but, for our present pur
p te, v batevei the immediate causes, it is suffi
cient that ins Mexican Franco-Austrian empire
is removed wttn the Emperor, and that the
coast is clear for a settlement with France and
the Mexican republic.
The settlement coutemnlated. as we lenrn.
cn. braces the full re-establishmoutot the Mexi
can republic and a treat j of peace and friendship
with it on the part of France, including the
piijment of the indemnities or claims which
were the cause of the original armed coalition
of France, England, nuu Spain. The United
States will stand security for these indemnities,
aud will nu-nisn the republic of Mexico the
lnnds to meet them, in consideration ot the
cession to our Government of the Northern
mineral Statts or departments of Coahuila,
Chihiiuhuo. Sonorn, and Lower California, with
the Rieat Gulf ol California aud all its commer
cial advantages. But tbe grand feature ot this
settlement will be the practical vindication or
the Monroe doctrine of European non-Intervention
in the domestic afiairs of the independent
(States oi ibis continent, and Irom this settle,
n cnt we may expect this doctrine to become the
established law in this hemisphere.
The Adu.tuislration of I'resideut Johnson,
identified with this great achievement, and
with the success of this creat American doc
trine, will secure a lastitiif renown in history;
and there are still some other matters in our
foreign relations in the adjustment ot which we
amii ipate from Mr. Johnsou the mo.-t satisfac
tory aud substantial results, to the exaltation of
the Uuired States among the leadirg natious'of
the earth. We have no dount ot tha complete
and crowning success of this mission of Mr.
Campbell, including tbe establishment of the
Mexican republic ou a solid basis, and the addi
tion of countless millions to our mineral and
commercial resource with our uew acquisitions
trom Mexico.

from the World.
There scenic to be no reason to doubt that, the
Feiiiau.s contemplate a renewal of their move
ment against the British North American pos
session!. When that niovcmeut will besiu, or
what the chances for its ultimate success may
be, are questions with which we have nothing
to do, aud which wc do not propose to discuss.
It is enough to know lhat the Fenians are mak
ing active preparations for another invasion of
Canada. The circular published in yesterday's
World is, practically, a letter ot instructions to
tbe "Centre" of each "Circle" in the country,
giving directions as to the organization of in
laniry, uitillcry, and cavalry regimeuts, the
proper tiuiiorm of each corps, etc.
It emanates irom the headquarters of the
Roberts branch of tho l'Vniau Brotherhood,
and to this fact its great importance is due, as
the Koiert- organization alone has ti.us far
shown a di-pt sition and a capacity for real
serious work. We published the circular, in oroer
tnat tbe public may have some Knowledge of
the importance which Fenianism has acquired.
Piesident Boberts and his associates aud fol
loweis. it is plain, ' have, relaxed no effort to
cairy the Fenian movement to its destined 'ou-clt-sion;
the reverse of June have had uo effect
iu checking this movement. There is good
reason tor thing that, whatever the course of
the Canadian Government with reference to the
convicted h etiians may be, thoCanuuiun volun
teers will have work to do belbie the winds of
March blow again. '
This is the more likely since the radicals, who
boast in the 'tribune that they carried this State
bv the help ot the Fenians on the frontier, are
Iully com:nittcd to the entire abolition of our
exis'tuig neutrality laws. Of course, they will
do their be.-t to cheat the Fenians of their price,
lor they have no stomach tor any war save a
safe war on the rights and liberties of American
States in the Sou;h; but it is not easy to see how
lnev can continue to wriggle out of their exit
iLg committals ou the subject.
