The Washin ton correspondent of the New
York Tribune tves the following explanation of
the meeting o the rebels with Gen. Rosecrans at
White Sulphur Springs:
It is asserted here on good authority that Gen.
Rosecrans went on this mission at the instance of
President Johnson and the Democratic Executive
Committee the purpose being to decide on some
scheme whereby the Southern States may, if
possible, be carried for the New York nominees.
The-Democratic-managers -of-the campaign -hold -
that Blair's revolutionary letter and Wade Hamp
len's rebel- speeches are not exactly the docu
ments with which to carry the Northern
•States, and they see that something must be done
to counteract the already disastrous effect of
these production& One of the most' prominent
of their leaders said, a few days ago, that they
cannot hope to carry a single State with these
declarations before the people, and that unless
something is done to neutralize in a measure
their effects they may as well at once give up the
contest; for, between Grant and peace, and
Seymour and bloodahed, there is bat one
choice for the country. General Rose
crans has been deputed to -do„ some
thing to help save •the sking - Democracv in No
vember. It is now pretty certain that the lead
-era will send out an—address, temperate - in — tan&
breathing sentiments of the deepest loyalty, and
full of all the glittering generalities about love
for the negro and the best interests'of people of
all sections of the Union. The address will pro
mise anything and everything. "We must win
at any cost," is the sentiment of the Democratic
leaders; or, say they, if we lose we are lost tor
ever.

WAsnmoram, August 26, 1868.—The grand
masked ball, to come off at the White Sulphur
Springs to-morrow (Thursday), has assumed
unusual importance, from the large number of
ex-rebel Generals and other "distinguished
Southerners," who are announced to take part in
it. Great big posters are • staring you in the face
all over Washington, got up in theatrical style,
announcing the presence of many eminent
"stars" at the White Sulphur on the night in
questioni - and - that -- excurshm - tickets, at $2O 50,
for the round• trip, "good for eight days,"
were to be had at various places.

JOHNSON INVITED TO A GRAND. BALL.
It was reported to•daythat President
Johnson had been very "cordially invited"
to attend the grand masked ball,< but
considered ; discretion the better part
of valor, and declined going. .He would
certainly have found himself - in congenial cocc=
parry, in the midst of the smiles and compliments
of to many of his "pardoned Sot:ahem brethren."
Some who Johnson will not make a summer
tour, urged him to make a short trip of this
kind; but it is understood, that, although by no
means averse to it, he did not think it "expedient'
to do so at the present time. •
THE mentucnoNs TO Om MEAD AND crrliEs
OFP/CENB COMMANDING IN THE . BECONSTRUCTED
STATES.
These instructions were made public to-day,
through the . War Department, direct to General
Mead% without going through the usual form
ality of being transmitted through Gen.. Grant's
headquarters., The • object is very clear, because
the instructions fall to recognize, in any particu
lar, the reconstructed Governments set up in the
several Southern States, as the President, under
whose guidance the instructions were prepared
—notwithstandine they purport to come from
the Secretary of War- - could not fail to expect
that such instructions as these would call forth
an earnest protest, from General Grant. 'The
matter, is being actively discussed this afternoon,
as to whether the President, has not violated . the
law by communicating directly with subordinate
officers, instead of forwarding all orders and in
structions through the General-in-Chief. But,
with his 'astral finesse, Johnson has contrived
that the letter of instructions should emanate
from the Secretary of War, so that if any one
were collect to account it wonld.be the Secretary,
who would be held responsible.
6ETTLEIHINT OF THE DIFFICULTY WITH COMM-
There is good authority for stating that an in
formal understanding was bad yesterday between
certain high functionaries, at which it was defl
nitely concluded to make no change at present in
the Commissionership of Internal Revenue—that
there were no grounds upon which to suspend
Mr. Rollins—and that all further efforts to get
bim out, for the present, at least, should be aban
doned. In the meantime, the "dead lock" be
tween Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner
Rollins, in regard to the appointment of super
visors, continues, and none have been appointed
yet. It is bellevedthat Mr. Rollins will appoint
all the detectives-45 in number—which the law
er/ V
gives him, and ' ran the machine" the best be
can with th ,If Mr. McCulloch should continue
tetx t
to make b ections to the supervisors already
nomina,

1.41 t week Hon. Samuel J. Randall was here,
and protested to Secretary McCulloch and Cora
fhb 110 Der Rollins against the appointment of D.
P. Southworth as supervisor for the Eastern Dis-.
trict of Pennsylvania, solely onpoliticalgrounda,
as Randall aci. owledged that in all other res
pects Southworth was an unexceptionable man.
In reply to a question whether it could be man
aged to give ahem . a Democrat in the Western
District and confirm Sonthworth for the Eastern,
Mr-Randall objected and wanted a Democrat for
the eastern portion- of the, State. To this
Commissioner .Rollins laughingly said:
"Well, then, Mr. Randall, suppose we give
yon John Miller ' tur supervisor for the Eastern
District? He's a good Democrat. How will he
answer ?"
.)pal Church,
R,oblus,,head
Randall shrugged his shoulders at this sally,
and looked unutterable things. Even this equit
able proposition would not satisfy him—"take
any other shape but that," quoted Randail.
Rollins will adhere to all the nominations thus
far made, unless some new proposition should
come from the other side of Fifteenth st.
COLLECTOR CAKE' 150.11LVATING STOREKEEPERS.
The indications are that Secretary McCulloch
has abandoned the charges against Collector
Cake, for the following nominations for store
keepess at Jesse Godiey's bonded warehouses
were approved to-day—John Criswell, Simon
G. Young, Walter Sedgwick, Levi Farwell, J. M.
Beans, and Samuel W. Kirk. These are each
paid $3 per day.

Diplomatic Small Clothes.
The Pall Mall Gazette thus discourses of the
drees•of Artterican Ministers! •
In thu course of a few days we shall have the
new Minister from the United States among us,
and almost the first question he will find it
necessary to decide relates to the clothes he
intends to wear on. State occasions. Fortunately
it is a question that need not cause him any great
embarrassment. The American Congress in
sisted some time ago that citizens of the United
States should be allowed to go anywhere
they pleased in any sort of raiment,and the right
is ft cely accorded. The ex-Minister to
this country was more than once given
to understand that her Majesty would be
happy to see him in such attire as he
thought proper to assume, bat Mr. Adams did not
them it respectfial to the English Monarch to
walk into her presence in a garo which rendered
him conspicuous, while the representatives of
other Powers were not too proud to dress them
st Ives in conformity with the usages of the Court.
It thus happened that Mr. Adams was never
seen at Royal receptions towards the end of his
term, but a notice regularly appeared setting
forth that the United States Minister was kept
away "by unavoidable circumstances." This
caused no - fiiplomatic misunderstanding, for it
was generally understood that the question at
issue was nothing more serious than the cut of a
worthy gentleman's coat arid breeches.
We all respected the motive which led Mr.
Adams to absent himself froin State ceremonies;
as in everything else, his course, was dictated by
the highest sense of courtesy towards others.
But Senator Johnson will be placed in such dif
ferent circumstances that he need not recognize
the fact of any difficulty having been experi
enced at the Legation. He finds a regulation of
Congress already in force, and he has known no
other. He has 'therefore only to present himself
before her Majesty in ordinary evening dress and
not a word will be said to him on the subject.
Diplomatists of older standing might perhaps
feel that Congress had interfered in what
was essentially a private matter, and had
even caused them to suffer some loss of dignity.
Almost any sensible man who wris ordered by a
body of legislators to wear , at Court a particular
dress and no other,and singled - out a dress which
infringed a general custom of the country in
which he was placed, would feel that ho was
being subjected to petty vexations and restric
tions. But Mr. Reverdy Johnson' need not feel
that the dictation of Congress has thus followed
him into his very dressing-room. Wei_ trust,
therefore that he will present himself at Court,
and continue to do so, even thougn Congress
should some day prescribe as a uniform the
diem of the big Indian, beautifully posed to rep
resent Liberty, which' ornaments the top of the
Capitol at Washington: -
Peace or War in •Europe
Tae London Saturday - Review thinks that Lord
Stanley's interview • with',-M; =de . Monstier can
scarcely be taken to be an'. event of European
importance. Her Majesty's Cabinet are familiar
with - the state and the suspense of the, Continent,
and it is-to bo feared that- Lord. Stanley is not
able _to do 'much to-remove it .) - The ' dissatisfac:
tion with which Great-Britain witnesses the out=
break of a European conflict Is a 'topic on which
the Foreign Mee is •always eloquent. Lord
Stanley cannot say more on the subject , 'of 'the,
wickedness of war than half a; dozen-Oft his pre
decessors have often said, and his con.-
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
SIONER BOLLINS
BIISQUEIIAIcNA
versation with the French Minister was
doubtless of the stereotyped form. It
M. de Monstier had, in return,
been able to tell Lord Stanley what was going to
happen this autumn or next spring, he would
bave been a wiser man than his Imperial master.
Nobody knows this, not even the Emperor him
eelf. Napoleon 111. has made a science of the
habit of irresolution, and defies all prediction.
To-day the Marshals of the French may be bright
ening lip their sabres; to-morrow Baron Benet
may say something at Vienna, and the Imperial
Cabinet at Paris will be again a focus of perplex
ity, and hesitation. Europe is being paralyzed
and menaced by an Imperial Hamlet. It is no
doubt his destiny to avenge his father's ghost,
otay.be never can summon up resolution to
strike the blow; and enterprises of great
moment are thug always on the eve of
being, undertaken. The intercourse
between the English and French Foreign Minis
ters must, therefore, have been of an unsubstan
ttal kind; for it is not easy for the most practiced
student of human nature to penetrate the secret
deeigne of the irresolute. Unfortunately for the
happiness of Europe, Great Britain, whatever her
pacific predilections, has not the moral or polit
ical Influence on the Continent requisite to insure
peace. A non-combatant on the eve of battle
becomes e a personage of minor consequence,
,and
there is no immediate prospect of England's
being drawn into the vortex of continental hos
tilities. At the present moment Lord Stanley's
visit to M. de Monstier will exercise , about the
same influence on the events of the future that
belongs to the afternoon visit of the Empress
Eugenie to Queen Victoria.
Opinion of the War Prospect.
A Paris correspondent says:
But suppose the Emperor's declaration to be
taken in its largest peaceful sense, and. uttered
with sincerity and intention. Its author declared
long ago that the "Empire is Peace," and pre
sently followed the Crimean War: and after that
came the Italian campaign, up to the eve of
which the Moniteur, of which he was the respon
sible editor, abounded in pacific protestations.
The same author declared it as his opinion that
the peace of Europe would not be troubled, but a
few weeks before Prussia declared war on Aus
tria in 1866. The same anther, in 1863, declared
that European war was fatally impending.
The words uttered at Troyes have changed
nothing in the facts of the situation. Admit their
speaker's honesty and sincerity, whatpre'vents
him tinder this personal government from de
claring war, on a sudden change of mind, to
morrow ?
The above comments are selected from the
newspapers and men's talk for the week. To
which add.this other : at this very present wri
ting the author of the
. pacifie affirmation of
Troyes is passing in review the National Guard
and the garrison. of Paris. Why this constant
activity at the War Department ? Why this
constant encouragement of the military spirit,
this persistent keeping up of an armed force of
over, 1,200,000 man at ruinous expense, If there
is to be no war ? •Is it to keep down domestic
enemies.
'Napoleon's Peace Promises.
A Paris correspondent of the tall Mall Gazette
says •
The Emperor's declaration at Troyes has de
cidedly failed to restore confidence, and even, the
moderate papers think that the Government
should at once disarm or give further explanii
lions. According to one version; the Emperor,
after a six weeks' determination so , make war,
suddenly chaiiged his mina, owhig to the attitude
of Austria, whose Govetumentk is determined to
go any length to binder &European conflict, and
would even--form an alliande with her late enemy
to prevent so dire a calanlity. It may be posi
tively stated that external politics were never in
a niOre uncertain state, and that since the crea
- lion of the Second Empire neuter was the internal
policy so generally unpopular. The vast and in
creasing- expenditure ; the unjust administration
of the law, and the arbitrary measures against
the press are spoken of in private and even
openly in public places with a bitternev which
bodes ill for the tranquillity of the country.
Another Spanish Difficulty.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:—We do not often
get news from the rock which subalterns call
' Gib.," but there Is rather a startling 'statement
in a recent Issue of the Gibraltar Chronicle. A
British schooner, the Fanny, was boarded three
times by a Spanish coastguard vessel, and on ar
riving at her destination was seized as a pirate,
and all her crew sent to the gaol. They were
detained for thirty hours in prison, and were
then released with an admonition to be thankful
to the Queen of Spain for her lenity. This hap
pe,ned at Cartbagena, and our Consul at that port
his sent in a protest to the Spanish authorities.
8 eh is the statement of the Gibraltar paper,
rq
sod up with a little flourish which is neither
here nor there. The circumstances certainly
seem to warrant a request for explanation, but
we have-onlY heard one side of the case at
present.
The Future Parliament of England.
It is the opinion of the Saturday Review that
the first reformed Parliament will be a Parlia
ment where young lords and elderly soap boilers
will reign supreme. It may be most desirable
that this should he so. It may be a great gain
that persons so eminently unimpressible should
st aat in the way between the nation and change;
but the thing to be remarked at present is that
these are the persons who will to all appearance
be returned. There will of course be some new
blood infused into Parliament, but the Review
suspects there will, not be much of it. In two or
three large constituencos candidates have
appeared, who represent extreme popular
opinions. and are
____etrangera to.. ,the
classes of society that usually supply members.
But it is not at all certain , that they will go to the
poll, or that if they go to the poll they will he
elected, or if elected they will not be completely
snuffed out by the lords and soapboilers among
whom they wilLand themselves. There are also a
half dozen of the new generation of university men
who are trying to get seats, who wish to take to
political life on account of the interest they feel
in politics, and whose appeal to the constituen
cies they address is made on that ground, and
not that of rank or wealth, or a wish to push
themselves on kite •' - e email good thin s Gov
ernment can give al. They wish in all good
faith to take to the profession of public life --an
honorable profealtion, but one of the most thank
less, wearing, and uncertain professions under
the sun. The Review can only wish them suc
cess ; but it is exceedingly difficult for such men,
unless of transcendent abilities, to make any 1131.•
pression on Parliament or the country. They
may do much good, and content their own souls;
but they will find it very hard to speak with au
thority, or to win attention for views that aro
sure, if new, to be pronounced quixotic and chi
merical. And yet no one can say that a common
place Parliament will necessarily bo common
place in wha it does. i The last Parliament was,

The Mein . Fen's Funeral.
The Paris Figaro states, that the attendance at
Miss Menken's funeral, which' took place on
Wednesday, was far from being what might have
been expected. The eight;was navrant. , A few
actors were present, and several of the female
attendants at the.theatre where Miss Mentzer' had
been engaged, but not - one actress. The horse,
too, on which Mks Menken had been in thehabit,
of. performing, appeared hi the 'procession - "led'
by a gentlemanly( black." , .'But where," inquires
the Figaro, "were all her coinrades, all-thejotit
naliste_ who were never; tired of -praising—her
beauty and her talent?". The Figaro sank only.
be answered in the words of Martin, who,' when
Candide'asked him how the stage ;xteens. were.
'treated in Erance, - , replled,, "pities a,dore quitid
elks sent belleS, et on lea. jette a la 'wide - quand
elles sent mortea."
A correspondent says: This paor woman and
poorer actress was always as much sinned against
as sinning. Her eccentricities and follies were
mainly the results of a disease from which she
suffered and which somewhat afflicted her mind.
she was about to appear at thci Ohlitelet theatre
in a new play, called Theodore, of Abyssinia. by
K. Rochefort, editor of the recenly extinguished
Lanterns, when death closed her singular career.
She has left hundreds of love letters
om distinguished men on both sides of the
ocean, which will undoubtedly be published by
her executors.

War 'tumors in Berlin.
A letter from Berlin, in the . 7'etnps, says: In
political cireleshere the greateat importance is
attached to the interview between the Emperor
of Russia and the King of Prussia. Au offensive
and defensive alliance between the two Powers is
more than ever spoken of. Apparently the polit
ical horizon is free from clouds ; there does not
seem to , be a question in dispute which is
likely to lead to a conflict, but yet people here
believe in an explosion in a short time• People
here take' on „mysterious airs, .and say that
there is ‘.`very disquieting news from France,"
which requires them to be ready for any contin
gency, and they add that they are prepared and
have nothing to dread.
France In the Papal:Conneil.
A Roman correspondent writes on the Sth
inst.:--" Cardinal Antoneill has officially notified
Count de Bartiges that the invitation to the Em
peror Napoleon to send a representative to the
Council 'is a special measure, not to be con
nected with any resolution which may be taken
hereafter as to other sovereigns. In reference to
this subject, the Pope, a few days ago, remarked
to a cardinal,• ' Formerly sovereigns undoubtedly
had rights here, and the sovereigns of the pres
ent day wish to retain those rights, but they
wish also to be absolved from the obligations
they impose.' From this it would seem that
some of the Catholic potentates are making it an
object to be represented at the Council, and are
met by hard conditions, the Holy See always ex
acting a quid pro quo.
The Records of Venice.
A London paper says: Some of our readers
will be glad to learn that in the transactions about
the literary propert of Venice, Just concluded
between Austria an Italy, the possession of a
considerable quantit of documents, such as the
complete collection of the treaties between the
Republic of Venice and the foreign Powers, has
been secured for Italy. Some minor details still
remain to be regulated, but since all parties are
animated with the best of feelings there will be
little difficulty in bringing about a satisfactory
arrangement.
SiberlynlAExiles.
A singular procession was noticed the uther
day passing through the Horskaj street in Bt.
Peteistnarg. Twenty Jews, with a white cross
chalked on their backs, were carried along under
strong milibtry escort. It appears that these
wretched beings had been condemned to depor
tation to Siberia, but had prayed to be converted
to the Orthodox Church, in order that the usual
pardon might be granted them. Instead of being
obliged to work in the mines they are allowed to
"settle" in Siberia as a reward for embracing the
faith. -
