The Uneasy KeellosT In Kurope.
From the Timet.
The latest despatches from I'ari.s and London
Indicate the existence of an uneasy feeling in
political oircles, such as was felt for months
pjany before the outbreak of the Gorman war.
That war, as nearly ever one who studied its
causes or took pains to estimate its rosults
foresaw, solved but one or two points of the
European problem. It gave to Italy a coveted
province all indeed that she had failed to
aohieve at Villafranca. It gave all the unity
to North Germany which, was attainable by
more force of arms. It wrested from Austria
the Presidency of the Federal States. It
'created a sovereignty in place of that Presi
dency, and it wade William of Prussia the
head of a strong consolidated monarchy witli
1 out the incumbrance of petty principalities,
aiming to hold coordinate authority,and ambiti
ous to figure as equals in the Federal Diet. It
was 'a gigantic step towards the reconstruction
of Europe. But it was in no sense a crowning
act. It showed rather what was possible to be
done, than made it clear that an ultimatum had
betn presented. The Treaty of Prague was a
truoe, and nothing more. It as little partook
of the nature of a permanent settlement as did
the hasty peace which followed the battle of
Solferino. That peace was delusive, as every
one felt it to be when the treaty was signed.
Italy was not content. Those disinterested
lookers-on who had hoped and prayed for
Italian unity knew that the expedient was one
of a temporary kind, and that the antagonism
of centuries was only rendered stronger and
more bitter by the suspension of hostilities
whioh the intervening authority of Franoe had
brought about. It was the same when the
battle of Badowa, following the virtual surren
der of the Venetian provinee3 which. Austria
proposed to the Emperor of the French, made
an end to Austrian supremacy in the Ger
man States. Prussia had gained too much
In too brief a time to be content with the
results which her prowess had won. She
had wiped out the kingdoms of Saxony
and Hanover. She had declared against the
existence of the free cities of the federation,
and the wealthiest and most pretentious of
them all had she put under such tribute as no
conquering power since the time of the first
Napoleon had conceived to be possible. She
had not only driven her rival out of her posi
tion as the head of Federal Germany, but she
had made that rival contribute to the expenses
inoarred in the spoliation. She claims all the
rights and. titles won by the Austro-Prussian
victories in war for the possession of the
Danish Principalities. And she had thrown
down the challenge to France by substituting
a Prussian force lor the Federal contingent in
the great fortress of Luxembourg.
These, in brief, were the grand results of
the German struggle of 1866. It was measura
bly a European struggle, inasmuch as it
changed the leadership of Central Europe, and
raised Italy from the position of an inferior
State to that of a power which should here
after claim a voice in the councils of the lead
ing Governments. But the German struggle,
from the simple fact of its assuming the pro
portions of a contest for the territorial read-
iustment of Europe, failed to reach that end.
t left the balance of power essentially where
it was, except that Prussia stepped into the
place of Austria, with much more than
Austria's ambition or her power of provoking
the jealousy and the hostility of other States.
The new international relations created by the
Treaty of Prague were of such a character
that France especially could not be indifferent
to them. The Emperor of the Frenoh
had mixed himself up bo far in the con
flict that he had made France a partisan of
Austria in the very heat of the conflict, lie
had undertaken to define the limits beyond
which Bismark and his royal master should
not pass. He had found his advice contemned
and his assumed right of intervention scorned,
lie had seen a three months' struggle win for
Prussia a rank which made her territorially
and otherwise the peer of France, either in
the field or in council. And he had succeeded,
as he had never done before sinoe his eleotion
as President of the French republic, in con
Tincing the people of France that war was de
sirable; that it was necessary if the honor of
the nation was to be upheld; and that the em
pire might safely discard its motto of "Peace,"
at least long enough to make Prussia
amenable to the Judgment of neighboring
powers. The distraction of the Paris Exhibi
tion; the temporary suspension of belligerent
movements which the Treaty of London
.brought about; the legerdemain of bringing
the leading sovereigns to Paris, have all served
A purpose an important purpose. They
have diverted to a certain degree the atten
tion of France and of Europe from the fact
that every gun factory in the country was as
full of orders as it could hold; that the Em
peror's Government has the power, and is
using it as it has probably never been used
before under the present reign, to raise the
effective strength of the army to little short of
a million of men; and that a sharp and threat
ening correspondence has been going on be
tween Paris and Berlin since the day that the
Treaty of London was signed. The pretext for
that correspondence is the new attitude which
Prussia assumes in the disposition of the
Schleswig question. The real inspiration of
the correspondence is the prevailing sentiment
in France alike among Orleaniats and Bona
partista and Liberals that the Government
and people of France have been snubbed by
Prussia; first, during the progress of the war,
when Austria's appeal for the intervention of
Napoleon was answered by the thunders of
Sadowa; next, when the Emperor's demand
for an equivalent for Prussia's territorial ac
quisitions was met by the reinforcement of the
K.rriann of Luxembourg. That sentiment the
lSmperor of the French finds it convenient to
ranncrniza and to bow before. Its recognition
.nil a detraction from the accumulating
iavitl of the Mexican question; and it is
' on these grounds chiefly that a new European
war may be said to be loresuaaoweu.
The Best Specimen of Kentucky Loyalty.

The camcalen In Kentucky will develope

States Government horses that were to be used
ngoinst the Rebellion. Here was a bomh
fhell; and it is evident that the case would
have been against the furnisher of horses if
this story had gone abroad without contradic
tion. But the maligned candidate was equal
to the occasion. The charge enabled him to
put himself right before the voters, and his
defense will furnish future history with
the best extant specimen of real Kentucky
loyalty. He admitted that be had had a con
tract to furnish the United States with horses, ,
and that he had the animals called for; but he
further showed by facts and dates that he had
po managed the delivery of the horses, "had
so 'arranged the place and time, as to secure
their capture by John Morgan, who was then
on a raid in Kentucky." Here is a model con
tractor and if this man's eleotion is not safe
we do not understand the people of that chi
valrous State. Surely a man who not only
helped the Confederacy, but made Uncle Sam
pay him for it, is entitled to the entire respect
of that loyal community that managed
throughout the whole war to be on neither
side when hard hits were in vogue, and yet
gave to the Richmond authorities, by illicit
trade across the lines, as much material aid
as went in through the Atlantic blockade.
That was the direction in which Kentucky
chivalry showed itself with greatest brilliancy;
and as this candidate can boast the best
achievement in the real Kentucky way, we
submit that he is the most peculiarly fit man
to represent his State in Congress.
Mr. Seward Foiled In III Land Specula
tion. From the Herald.
The semi-official organ at Washington in
forms us that Mr. Seward's informal negotia
tions to settle the Alabama claims with Eng
land, on the basis of taking territory on the
racifio coast by way of payment, has failed.
We advise the Secretary not to be discouraged,
but to bring all his ingenuity to bear on John
Bull. After having obtained the North Pole
from Russia, the territory lying between that
and our other possessions is necessary to con
nect one with the other, and "to round off"
our republican empire in that region. The
British are smart at driving a hard bargain,
especially in the matter of territory, and they
may be doing so in this case. Let Mr. Seward
put on a little more boldness and firmness
than is natural to him, and, with the Alabama
claims in one hand and manifest destiny iu
the other, say to the British Government that
it must be done. Such a plan of settlement
will undoubtedly be the most natural and easy
for Great Britain, while she would save her
self a great deal of trouble in future with re
gard to these remote possessions.
A Presidential "Impediment."
From the Tribune.
The question of General Sheridan's removal
has been so long in abeyance that we are in
hopes good counsels may be heeded at last.
We have no doubt that the President has a
sincere desire to remove General Sheridan, but
he is no less sincere in his desire to do a hun
dred things quite as absurd. If his advisers
would recall to his mind the case of Martin
Van Buren, who was rejected in a pique, by
the Senate, as Minister to England, and sub
sequently elected to the Presidency, he might
hesitate longer before he makes a "martyr"
of the most popular commander in America.
The disposition is so general among
those of our friends who desire a
military man for the Presidency to con
sider General Sheridan as a candidate, that
his removal would only lead to his nomi
nation by impetuous radical conventions. In
the event of a military nomination being ad
visable, we desire to think well of Sheridan,
and we trust, therefore, that the President will
not force upon us prematurely the considera
tion of his qualifications. We want the
Bummer and fall for more important work,
and do not care to have nominations discussed
until the States stand side by side in the Elec
toral College, and the finances are in a more
flourishing condition. We hope also that, when
that time comes, we may have a candidate
from civil life. If the President lets well
enough alone, such a nomination may be
easily made. If he removes General Sheridan
upon the grounds indicated by his friends, it
will be a menace to the Union party which
that party is not in the mood to overlook. The
removal from New Orleans may be followed by
iour years oi auty at wasnington.
Let us look at this question a moment. A
correspondent Bays the order for General
bhendan's removal "will assign as a cause for
the step that Sheridan himself is an impedi
ment in the way of rational and constitutional
reconstruction, and that, therefore, he should
be removed in the same way that Sheridan
himself removed G overnor Wells, of Louisiana."
"l tie president believes that, though the
recent acts of Congress clothe military com
manders with absolute power, still these com
manders should use the utmost discretion, and
exercise their powers bo as to bear as lightly
as possible upon tue people, ana so as to give
satisfaction in their districts. He considers
that Sheridan has not thus acted; that he has
been unwise, arbitrary without cause, and in
many instances despotio in the exercise of
power." This statement may fully represent
the position of the President, but the oountry
will not so regard it. The country sees in Gene
ral bhendan a man who has done his duty,
and has been patriotio, impartial, zealous. It
is said that he is an "impediment" to recon
struction. In what way ? He finished the work
of registration more rapidly than any other
commander. He did it with fairness and
economy, and would have had it finished on
the 1st of July but for the President's order to
reopen the books, that btanbery might nnd a
way for the llebels to come bacK ana vote.
To finish a work quickly is certainly not to
impede it. How has Sheridan abused his
powers f They were not assumed by him.
Congress especially directed the performance
oi certain duties, lie was tne mere minister
of the national will and he obeyed it, just as
he obeyed it when he sent Early whirling
down the valley of the Shenandoah, or shat
tered the puissance of Lee at the battle of Five
Forks, lias he been harsher with the people
of his district than his duty compelled f We
think, from all our Information, that beyond
the performance of necessarily unpleasant du
ties, Sheridan has been very kind and con
siderate even to the Rebel citizens. We have
heard of no act of oppression, of no tyranny,
of no unnecessary interference with private
and vested rights. We have heard from a
dozen Rebel sources that, if the Military bill is
to be enforced, the Rebels would as soon have
the work done by Sheridan as by any other
commander. Therefore, for the President to
assume that General Sheridan has beeu "un
wise, arbitrary without cause, and in many
cases despotio in the exorclse;of power," is, we
submit, to calumniate a great soldier te satisfy
a petty and spiteful revenge. ... - I
The country sees so much that is grand In
the character of Sheridan, that It will not
. tamely submit to Lis degradation. Here is a
lnnu who proved himself in war to be not
only the nirmt . brilliant of all our generals,
but, according to General Grant himself, if
we may credit tweuty narratives, one of
the greatest captains of modern times. In
peace he has been as great as in war. When
President Johnson endeavored to coax hitu
to sustain his policy by equivocating in
reference to the New Orleans riots, he
Startled the country by spurning the tempta
tion, and pronouncing tlm riot to be a mas
sacre worse than Fort Pillow. This showed
the intrepid honesty of the man, and the
possession of a virtue that rone above an
iulluence to which even Grant yielded when,
in the fare of the infamy of that massacre, he
allowed himself to be carried around the
country in the President's train while the
President himself defended the riot and
denounced its innocent victims. There
I Mere, no doubt, good reasons for General
! Grant's negative acquiescence in that cele-
j brated trip, and we are content with them.
But while the name of Grant was used to sus-
i tain the policy of the President and atone for
' his deeds, the name of Sheridan was the ori-
ilaiume around which the country rallied when
it fought the battle of Congress, and routed
the forces of the Copperhead Johnson party.
The name of Sheridan ia an orillamrae to
day. Whatever statesman or soldier we may
nominate, his name and deeds will be among
he most glorious elements of our canvass.
The oountry approves of his course, and, so
long as he possesses public confidence, will
watch him with eager, jealous eyes, and will
not tamely submit to his sacrifice. We see
that Grant is urging the President to be wise
and pause. We add our own most earnest en
treaty. The work of reconstruction has been
too long impeded by the President's obstinate
and reckless opposition. It is criminal to con
tinue that opposition. Let Sheridan alone,
and let us hope that our other captains may
do their work as well.
Cholera on tlie Mississippi.
From the Herald.
That fearful pest, the cholera, has again
made its appearance In our territory. We
heard of its last and most fatal ravages a few
months since on the La Plata river. Great
pests have always followed great wars, and it
appears that we are to be made no exception
to the rule. Our reports indicate that the
mortality from cholera at Memphis is fifty per
day. In the lower grounds of the Mississippi
Valley the disease has also broken out, while
along our Indian frontier it is also reported.
Last fall it left us by striking off from the
mouth of the Rio Grande river into Mexico in
a west-southwest conrse, touching Southern
Coahuila, and continuing westward to the
Cordilleras. To-day it is upon us again, and
the most active measures should at once be
taken to confine it in as narrow limits as pos
sible. One great cause of its reappearance in
the Mississippi Valley is the neglect of the
agricultural interests which haa followed our
Rebellion.
The river levees, at all times in a doubtful
condition, have in the past year burst at many
points, carrying flood and consequent devasta
tion to the adjoining districts. The waters,
regaining their accustomed channel, have left
a marsh nearly the size of the State of New
York, from which are arising the pestilential
miasmas resulting from the decomposition of
the rank vegetation of the South. Added to
this are immense plantations almost given
over to their primeval wilderness.
A wise legislation would shapo some broad
policy in dealing with our Mississippi valley,
which is the great backbone of our political
and material prosperity. The river should, by
skilfully constructed engineering works, be
placed beyond the eventuality of an overflow,
trained to a regular channel and equal cur
rent an engineering problem of not impracti
cable Bolution. This might be done by Con
gress, or by the cooperation of the States
directly interested. We should in that case
not only reduce the area of pestilential lands,
but increase immensely our national progress.
The cholera is, in modern times, something
brought on by bad legislation, both national
and local, for science is infallibly designating
its causes, and constantly pointing to methods
by which they may be removed. The great
pests which have at different dates ravaged
Europe were in those times wheu the most
aristocratio of our ancestors carried some
strong perfume about them to counteract the
effect of personal uncleanliness, and when
modern science had not made nature beni to
its discoveries. If a clear-Eighted legislation
will apply the knowledge of the times to the
seeking of freedom from the cholera, as well as
other scourges which give such a death-rate in
our country, we may in a comparatively short
period Btrip them of their terrors.
Mexican Factloulsts at their Old Work.
From the Jleraid.
The news from Mexico continues to be of
wars and rumors of wars. While we are look
ing to our reconstructed sister republio in the
hope of seeing some signs of peaceful progress,
nothing reaches us but statements, more or
less authentio, of renewed disturbances. In
the important State of Tamaulipas Generals
Gomez and Canales are raising endless trouble,
the real point at issue being who shall pocket
the customs dues of the port of Tampico. In
western Jalisco, Losada and Corona, strong
personal enemies, are ' fighting for the crown.'
Losada is a formidable adversary. He con
trols all the territory from the Barrancas down
to the sea. At tap of drum ho can call around
him three thousand armed Indians. Another
tap, and they silently disperse. He is abso
lutely despotic in his own dominions, and,
truth to say, has ruled them better than any one
has ever yet ruled the other Slates of Mexico.
In Losada'a "kingdom of Tepid" robber is
unknown. A long rope and a short shrift is
the speedy fate of all who attempt to play
banditti. It is, in fact, the only part of Mex
ico wheie travellers have no fears of robbers.
But Losada, excellent ruler though he is, has
refused to recognize President Juarez", and
consequently Generals Corona and Guada
rama have been sent to bring him to terms.
They will have no easy task. In Yucatan the
rival factiouists are alternately fighting blood
less battles and betraying and butchering each
other in the approved Queretaro style. Last
of all, we hear that in roadless, unexplored
Guerrero, the home of the vintos, those
strange, blue-spotted lepers who form the
bulk of the population of the State Generals
Alvarez and Jimnenez are waging active war.
All these items make up a picture far from
pleasing. They suggest the idea that, now that

Republican Exultation over the Ten
btuti Jfelaotlon. i -
l Vom the World. '
Bating gome hesitation and dissent on 1 the
part of the Timet, th Republican newspapers
go wild over the result of the Tennessee eleo
tion. They are pleased that there
was no
uiooasuea, wiucli is commendable
jubilant
that that reverend model of pity and states
manship, Parson Brownlow, is re-elected
uovernor, which is laughable; and they are
r. ady to dance with joy at the unanimity with
which the negroes voted the Republican
ticket-a foolish ecstasy, fr neiUlt,r tl
anybody else supposed it would be different.
V e w il review these topics of Republican con
gratulation, each in its order.
It is an impudent affront to the intelligence
of the Amoiioan People to congratulate them
on the exemption of Tennessee from sceues of
bloody turbulence on election day. There was
perfect order in France on the day Louis Napo
leon was elected emperor. There was periect
ouler in Mexico on the day Maximilian was
chosen to the imperial throne. Titers was
oider in Tennessee, last Thursday, for the
same reason. In none of these cases did order
prevail because the community was freo from
volcanic and explosive passions, but because
the election took place under repressive mili
tary surveillance. There would be as much
sense in praising the quiet deportment of a
manlao iu handcuffs and a straight-jacket,
Chains are no satisfactory substitute for sanity
The most melancholy circumstance of all is the
fact that the condition of the patient is such as
to render coercive repression necessary. It
was Brownlow's militia! and the United States
tioops under General Thomas that kept the
peace in lennessee. Acoursed be the policy
which renders military intimidation necessary
to prevent elections from convulsing and deso
lating a State 1 The prevalence of such a sys
tern in the South will render republican insti
tutions a byword.
It is edifying, indeed, to behold a party
11. - 1 1 l . t Ml - t A II 1
wnicu piuines useu on us "moral ideas,
and boasts of the sympathy and adhesion of
a great part of the New England clergy, chant
nig pious le Dcumx over the election of such
a ribald and blasphemous old reprobate as
Parson Brownlow. Judging the tree by its
fr uits, a reconstruction policy which produces
such a Governor as Brownlow must be truly
gionous. it win be hard to match Brown
low in tne other ten States; but the system
may be relied on to elevate to the highest
office in each the most reckless and brutal
demagogue within its borders; Hunnicutt
probably, in Virginia, and statesmen of like
w isdom and balance of character in all the
others.
We como now to the most (solid ground of
Kepublican congratulation the uniformity
wnn wnicn tne lennessee negroes voted the
Kepublican ticket, it Is regarded as pretoken
ing a similar result, and the consequent sue
cess of the Republican party, in the other
States. We do not dispute this probability,
nor do we greatly regret it. It will render
that party responsible for good loeal govern
ment in the South at a time when good local
government, even in wise, experienced hands
would be exceedingly difficult. With the
negroes all voting, and most Of the intelligent
whites disfranchised, we have no faith that
order and justice can prevail in the South
wiujoui external military support, no
matter what party might be in the ascend
ancy. If the negro vote were divided, and
the Democratic party had the responsibility
of evoking order out of such elements, things
would be constantly occurring which would
be charged upon Democratic mismanage
ment, but due, in fact, to the impossibility
of organizing such a mass of barbarous ig
norance into enlightened and law-abidiug
stability. If there is to be an attempt to re
construct the temple of civil order out of mud
and rubbish, the Democratic party has little
reason to covet the post of architect. It is
not much to be regretted that they who compel
the use of the crumbling, unsightly materials
should be held answerable for the solidity and
proportions of the edifice. The Republican
policy of reconstruction introduces a long
period of confusion, infinitely to be regretted,
indeed, but since it must come, it ia perhaps
better that the whole undivided, responsibility
for the execution, as well as the plan, should
rest with its true authors. Fall it necessarily
must, and the Republicans will be unable to
shift any part of the blame of a bad sys
tem upon Democrats entrusted with its
practical working. Its failure ought to ruin,
and will ruin, the party that introduced it,
and since it would fail in any hands, it had
better fail in the hands of its authors. The
reasons why it cannot succeed are obvious. It
will, first, be a government of ignorance, and
the success of republican institutions rests
upon education and intelligence. It will,
secondly, be the government of a minority,
and the preponderance of physical strength
being on the side of the beaten party, the new
State Governments will never be able to stand
alone. It will be, thirdly, a government
founded on the domination of race over race,
the weaker and less capable race over the
stronger, and will therefore deepen and inten
sify the prejudices of race, and keep up a con
stantly accumulating fund of mutual ani
mosity. The Democratic party has no reason
to covet responsibility for the well working of
so absurd a system. Whenever the Southern
whites are enfranchised, the Government will
revert of itself to the white race; and until
then stable civil order will be impossible
without the constant aid of Federal bayonets.
The joy of the Republicans at the prospect
of securing the whole negro vote, shows how
insecure they consider their ascendancy in
the North. If they could hold what they have
in the Northern States, it would be of no con
sequence to them whether the South elected
Republicans or Democrats. The States they
control at present elect a majority of both
Houses of Congress, and can elect the Presi
dent. But they see that slight changes in the
North, changes much smaller than often occur
from year to year, would shake their power to
its foundation. The change, for example, of
about six thousand votes in each, would give
the Democrats the two great States of New
York and Pennsylvania, with their fifty-nine
electoral votes; and taking fifty-nine from one
side and adding them to the other would make
a difference of one hundred and eighteen in the
result. Although the Northern Democrats
have but a few members of Congress, they
form nearly half of the Northern people. This
is why the Republicans attach such supreme
importance to the negro vote. But the negro
vote cannot save their party from impending
overthrow. The North in the hands of the
Democrats, as well as the North in the hands
of the Republicans, is strong enough to con
trol the Government; and the disorders and
disgusts which will How from negro rule in
the South will be the chief means of gaining
for us the votes we lack to make the Demo
cratic party a majority.
