If, by a mere accident, Messrs. Bigler, Wallace and Wright met at j the Gii aid House, it is very likely that the !

Tiir danger which for seme weeks past seiiously thieatcncd the pence of France, growing out of the foi rua' ion of a cabinet by President MacMahon that would be ac cejitable to the Republican niajoiity of the new Chamber of Deputies, has happily passed away.

I liean views,and from his high character and luivanced age euiojs the entire confidence of the French people. He has succeeded In the difficult task assigned him, and has selected a cabinet which meets with the full approbation of a majority of the Depu ties and their constituents. The President sent his message to the Chamber on Fri dag last, by which it was well received, and at once commenced the activo woik of legislation. Great rejoicing is manifested throughout France over the peaceablo set tlement of the vexed ejuestion, and if the Republican loadeis display the s;imo pru dence and moderation in the rutin c as they havo in the past the pcimancnt peace of the country may be rcgaidcd as assured. Tuf.re is a letnaikabio coincidence bc twoen the number of Turks undei Osman Pasha when he surrendered at Plevna and the number of confederate troops surren dered by Gert. Iee at Appomattox : aud the same coincidence exists as to the nu merical f-trrngth of the Russians around Plevna and the strength of the army under (5 rant before Petersburg. The most relia ble accounts fix the number of men under Osinau Pasha, at the time of his sui lender, at between 2S.0C0 and 3",000. The num ber of confederate soldiers paroled by Gen. Grant when Gen. Lee suriendcrcd, was j abi ut So.COO, according tjour iccollection. The Russians had 120,000 men suirouuding Plevna, and the force under Grant while operating agaiust Lee was estimated at 130,000. Both KurrenJe-s were of vast im poitauce that of Geo. Leo putting an cud to theoontest, while the full ultimate effect of the Turkish disaster at Plevna remains jet to bo .seen. That it requires any very gteat military ill iu the general of an army four or five times as strong as the enemy to compel a sui rentier is too silly a proposition to discuss. It is the meie tri umph of the force of numbers a yielding by a weaker side to an inevitable result. The consequences of such a sin lender may prove to bu great aud iojoi taut, but the military glory resulting therefrom i.s scarcely visible to the naked eye. TtlF.

After 13T8 the new constitution prohibits adjourned sessions, such ns the f.pproaching one will be, and after the regu lar session, commencing in January, 1ST0, there ctu be no session until Januaiy, 1SS1, and so on biennially theirafter.

In addition to this mass of unfinished legis lation, a fresh supply w ill of course be forth coming large enough to continue the session ad infnitum, if that were possible, but we are uol awaie of any itvpoitant legislation of a general charac er which will bo likely lo run the session beyond fifty days.

There is a restless class of people in this country not residing on tbe Texas Bide of the Rio (J ramie who would be pleased to see Congress re-enact the celebrated reso i Kit ion adopted in the early part of the ad- ministration of President Polk, which de- dared that war between the two Republics existed by the aet of Mexico. If Congress COuI(l be induced to do so, it; would be a most monstrous and untiaidonable crime, ' To justify any war there must exist an ad equate cause, ami that .my good cause now Cj,jsis for hostilities between the I'nited States and Mexico is untrue and without ' the shadow of foundation. It is tree that for many years bands of lawless characters, intent upon rapine and plunder, have cl0lSsed the Rio Grande from Mexico into Xex.is, aud diivcn back immense numbers ; of cattle and horses stolen from their Tex- as owners. It is almost impossible to pre i vent these forays acioss a narrow stream ; like the Rio Grande, which, for hundreds j of miles, forms the boundary line between the two countries. i uc oniy way 10 stop them is through a sufficient military force stationed along the Mexican side of the river, and this is now being done by Presi dent Diaa ordering there a large body of regular troops, Our owu government is doir.g the same thing and is sending to j Gen. Old all the men he deems necessary ! to enable him to preserve the peace by ! arresting and punishing the raiders, j These raids are mutual and take placo from the Texas side as well as from the Mexican, but the military forces of the two countiics will now put a summary cud to them. The troubles in E! Paso couuty, the extreme sou'Ji-westcm portion of Tex as, adjoining Old and New Mexico, have grown out of a disputed claim to some old salt weiN, the right to use which for a ! very long period has been the cause of riotous broils, which sometimes, as now, end iu bloodshed. An adequate military force has been ordered there to suppress the disturbance. Neither (Jen. Sherman nor Gen. Ord anticipate a war, nor do they desire it, for the plain reason that there is no just cause or excuse for one. The people turn from its contemplation with a feeling of horror and will never sanction it, as they very properly think j tha blood enough was shed dining the j four yeais of the rebellion in this couutry to satisfy the thirst of the moloch of war for a century to come.

The Hambuig massacre, ns it is called, occuried there in July, IS70, in which several negroes were killed, and the Republican press in the north has maintained that Gen.

Gen. Butler has always claimed that the charge wns entiiely false and that his hands were clear of the blood of tho negroes w ho were ! slauphtcicd on that unfortunate occasion.

IN TIIK EXECUTIVE SESSION of the Senate last Friday, upon the ques tion of confirming the appointment of Ed ward C. Wades a Collector of Internal Rev enue for the third district of Georgia, a very bitter, insulting and personally aim- t 8i ve encounter took place between Conk- j j.iiLT auu ueueidi eioiuon Gen. Gordon J told Conkling g that he was assuming too : :e undertook to order Senators 3 President to go on with the much when L and t tie vice President to go business, to which Conkling replied by sajing that the statement was ''untrue," as he did not so order the Senators. Gor don followed Conkling's disclaimer with the remark, " TAin'.ean be settled else ir fare,'" and as Conkling announced his readiness to settle it elsewhere, a duel is looked for, provided Conkling has: the pluck to fight. Conkling was the more excited of the two, but both Senators were in very bad temper. .. , j , , , " j minded them that there was no need of a o nnnr ti nil 11 pir nil I iiiiitipjk n nn if- misunderstanding. Nothing further was said by either Gordon or Conkling, and i thsir quietness is regarded an intention to "settle it elsewhere," and we expectantly ! look for the spilling of blood. Mutual friends of both Senators Gordon and Conk ling are earnestly at work endeavoring to smooth over the differences between them. i Be the result what it may, Wade was con- firmed by the solid Republican vote, and I sir. itayes naa t.ie uuauimous snppoit oi ins party tor tbe tu st lime since he assum ed the position rightfully belonging to an other ; and as the Senate has seen tic to spread upon the record an amende honora ble, in explanatory resolutions, between these two belligerents, we picsume no further steps will bo taken by any one. There never has beeu any cood blood ex- ' isting between Messrs. Gordon and Conk j ling, and all their past intei course has par j taken of the icicle and iceberg nature ; j hence, like school boys, each one has al- ways had a chip on his hat daring the oth ; er to knock it off. I THE ADJOURNMENT j till January 10th took p!nce'Satnrday with i out any excitement. The rads were de Itei mined to prevent the passage if Mr. j Woods' investigation resolutions, and oc- i copied nearly ail the afternoon with dilato- i ly motions, on which they refused to vote. J j s enotiGii uemocrais wre anscnt to leave i tbe iionse without a quorum unless the ! rads would vote, Mr. Wood, rather than conduct a hopeless fight until midnight, had the resolutions go over until after the recess, aud tbortly afterthis conclusion the House followed the example of the Senate j and adjourned. We regard the session so j far as an important one, as the action upon I the appropriation bills, the Paris Exposi tion bill, and the vaiious financial meas ures, show more real work done in the out start of the session than at that of any pre ceding Congress. The rads. are charging tho Democrats with devoting their time to "chin music," but the facts show a va6t amonnt of woik accomplished. THE PAPER AND SILVER TAIITV have organized a committee of one Senator and nitmber from each State for the pro motion of public sentiment in favor of the icpeal of the resumption act and the pass age of the silver bill, and have succeeded in enlisting prominent men from both houses in ail the States except. New York, New Jersey and the New England States, the latter being represented 011I3' by Ben. But ler, of Massachusetts, and Phelps, of Con necticut. Some surprise is expressed at the long list of eminent men, many of whom had been presumed to be hand-in-hand with the bondholders jind capitalists, but the '-prominent men" dared not set at de fiance the will of the mat-ses, who, !;ke Banquo's ghost, would not down at the bidding. A eusrnNFiox of tut. nomination r.rsi Nrcss is seriously threatened by Secretary Evarts, who alleges that it isahnost useless to send anymore appointments to the Senate for confirmation, jodging by the late conduct of tbe Senate in regard to the New York appointments, the Senate having thereby refused to confirm any but those whom the extreme radicals chooso to dictate. Mr. Evaits, in conversation with us, however, slightly toned down the above by saying that where thete was urgent necessity for an officer, henight make an appointment, but the Cabinet had pretty generally con cluded to make no more nominations. Should this conclusion prevail it will play hobb with a good many Senators who op posed the administiatioii iu the late en counter, as they all want places for their fi iends ; and we surmise the wily Evarts has adopted this plan as a retalliation for the course pursued iu the Senate by the rads. AN INVASION BY MEXICO. The Diaz Minister, who was heard by the militaiy committee on Mexican topics, against the protest of Mr. Evarts, is the first instance where a foreigner was ever allowed to plead before Congress, except through the regular channel, the Secretary of Sta'e ; but the committee were not dis osed to submit to the dictum of "Brother Jonathan" of the State Department, and Conkling's motion for a special committee to take charge of nnr Mexican imbroglio is looked upon by "Brother Jonathan" as an outrageous encroachment upon the State Department's jurisdiction over foreign af fairs. not rort WATl. The discussion in the House over our Mexican bolder troubles indica cd very em pnaiicaiiy that tbewar Pp..it in that body 1 ... is at a very low ebb at present, every dis position being displayed to create no use- less popular alarm. While the ideas ad I vanced fiom both sides of the IIouso were 1 mild and peaceful, still there was no fctl j ing eviilence, to refuse the people of Texas a sufficient military force to protect their 1 runner tioni .Mexican raids. IIoRTtmbE Affaih in Indiana. A most atrocious fratricide, instigated by the wife of the murdered man and the mother of the murderer, occui red at Lawreuceville, Dear born county, Ind., a few days ago, the vic tim being a lumberman uamed Jos. Kung ler,.who had had trouble with his wife and hid sued for a divorce, though he was still living in the same house Aith her. On the night of the murder he went down town, and in his absence his wife persuaded their son, thirteen years old, fo kill his father on his return. He promised to do so, and, loading a shot-gun, lay in wait for his father. When he CAino the boy shot him through the back of the head. lie fell mortally wounded and crying for help. The mother then took Die gun and laid it by his side, lie being still alive 3nd calling for help. The mother and son then re tired, but could not sleep, and finally arose, and, cooking supper, ate it, and thus spent the night, ail tho time hearing the moans and pleadings of the wounded and dying man. In the morning a neighbor enme and found Kungler still alive and lying in a pool of blood, but. unable to speak. The wife was meantime at work, pacing no at tention to him. She said he had committed i the act himself. After he died the Coroner ! made au examination, found this could not be true, and began an investigation. Tbe boy, being accused, finally confessed the whole affair and said bis mother bad been urging him to shoot bis father for a year.

The young people responded in goodly numbers to the call, ami the doctors look from each of their arms a very small piece of skin, which was transferred to the bead of the unfortunate woman.
