Embarrassment out the Government.— 'Diversity of lnterests--The looney of Baron Beast. IConeepondence of the Minds. Evening Bulletin.] VIENNA, August 22d, 1868.—The Government of Austria is evidently in a difficult and disagree able position in regard to the, tulministration of the different parts of the Empire. There is the original German part of, Austria claiming that any question which concerns Fatherland should be taken into consideration by this Government last as mach as if Austria still belonged to the old German Btusd, formed in 1815 the sympathy of those men for Pruss4 may not be strong, but they feel themselves to be Germans--they speak the German language, and they may have a presentiment that Austria, as a German Power, may have more influence in the council -of niss dons than Austria disaoived' in Hungary, atui losing her originally. German nationality. It is difficult, at the present period, to foretell the result of these complications. Austria may exist and flourish under the present regime for years; hut It must, neverthelese,be acknowledged that the state of affairs,as It now exists, can only be a temporary one; that dualism cannot exist forever, and that either Austria must finally dis solve in Hungary or Hungary In Aastria. Much praise and credit is duo to the present Chancellor, Baron von Beast, for his skillful administration of the Empire, and his sagacity in evading all the dangerous places which might be obstacles to the nation's prosperity and progress; but he would be a wonderful man, indeed, who could unite ail the antagonistic elements, now thrown together in the Austrian Empire,and appease the dissatisfaction and jealousy existing among the c zechs,for Instance who, after the concessions al lowed to thellungarlans demand similar privileges to be extended to them also. The Czechs have threatened and do still threaten with making common cause with the Russians; let them do so and they will soon discover the benefits of the Austrian Government, as compared with the Rus sian Government. Not many years would elapse before those who are now ready to render mag• thin imons assistance to the Czechlans would •impose on them such laws as the Poles have re ek tiny been blessed with, viz.: the entire abolition of their native language and the substitution of the Russian Idiom. Under such circumstances, and with the above mentioned difficulties to struggle against, It is difficult indeed for the Chancellor of the Empire to observe a jute-milieu, and to extricate Austria at the Inane time from that enormous national debt which has been the curse of the country for many years past. Unless Austria gets entangled in a foreign war, however there is reason to trope that her financial difficulties may be straightened in the course of a few years; bat tne political system of the Empire appears to become a very difficult problem to solve, and all honor will be due the man who possesses the necessary sagacity and discretion to extricate Austria from the laby rinth of vexed aide questions, which are still a great drawback to her prosperous development. ENGLAND. The riatufalization Question. The Pall Mali Gazette atys: Lord Stanley's recent despatches to Mr. Thornton will probably satisfy Mr. Seward, if tie was not satisfied before, that the English Govern ment are prepared to abandon the doctrine of in 4efessible allegiance, and to negotiate a naturali zation treaty. There was no time during last session to introduce a bill on the subject, and this fact Lord Stanley brings to Mr. Seward's remem brance. For the rest, the Foreign Secretary assures the Government and people of the United States of the sincere desire of her Majesty's Gov ernment to dispose of this question in a manner which shall be satisfactory to both countries. The people of the United States already under stand this, and hence nothing has been heard of the naturalization question of late in the election campaign." American Actors In England. The Pall Mall Gazette has the following sensi ble remarks upon the actors who pass themselves off as "gre at . .American artists:" "There Ls no necessity to damp the enterprise of theatrical managers in London, but it may be asked whether the introduction of gifted beings from foreign parts is not being carried to an ex tent which may render people very shy of such performers for the future. Two or three Ameri can actors and actresses have been puffed off like the bearded woman in a country fair, and, upon receiving a fair trial, their deserts were not found equal to the descriptions given of them beforehand. Then the critics began to sneer at all trans-Atlantic actors—forgetting, probably, that it is not so very long ago since 'Joe Jeffer son' aroused the enthusiastic admiration of the oldest playgoers in England. If third-rate per formers are to be Imported from abroad, what right has any one to expect more in them than would be looked for in a third-rate English actor? Here is a very eminent Mexican tragedian, with testi monials from the cultivated and r efined Benito Juarez in his pocket, failing utterly in London. On his heels there is to follow, for our delight and improvement, a tremendously great •Ame.ri can tragedian, who will be introduced by a gen tleman who prides himself on outdoing Barnum. People will, of course, say, In what state can the dramatic art be in America when such actors as this are called "great?'" What they ought to ask Is, 'Who Is it that calls him great, and where did he perform In America? What was his repu tation there?' Before condemning the tastes •of a people who first recognized the talent of Mdlle Patti, and among whom Miss Cushman, Mr. Bothell], Mr. Forrest, Mr. Owens, Miss Bateman, and ethers were educated and trained for their art, it would be as well to inquire into the cre dentials of persons claiming to be eminent Ameri cans." Minister Johnson's Visit to Disraeli. • The Cork (Ireland) Heralti,of August 27,speak ing of Minister Johnson's visit to Mr. Disraeli, says : The new United States Minister has gone on a visit to the Prime Minister at his country seat In Buckinghamshire. Disraeli, who is too well acquainted with the foibles of human nature not to gauge the potency of soft solder with an indigenous 'Yankee, Is evidently bent on bottling up Reverdy Johnson. America, because she Is dreaded, is now, however, apparently in high favor in courtly circles, and it is a marked tribute to• her success that her representatives at the present moment meet with as liberal hospitality as that which awaited the Southern envoys in those times when Mr. Glaastone Offirmed that "the United States had ceased to exist." FK&NCE. M. Rocheforton the Reigning Dynasty -"La Lanterne 97 !!peaking from Brussels-Seizure of the Journal on the. Frontier. In the issue of La Lantern newspaper, No. 12, published in .Brussels, but seized on the French frontier when sent for circulation in the empire, M. Rochefort publishes several article's, short and stinging, on the reigning dynasty of the Bonapartes. One is headed "The Empress Abuses Her Posi tion." The writer says : Being already on the threshold of my second youth, my first having been passed amid the tinsel of despotism, I was extremely surprised at seeing the Queen of Belgi um driving her own light carriage,drawn by four small ponies;'and saluting in a friendly manner all those who raised their bats: The simple al lurements and-the- perfery modest bearing of this young and charming Queen seem to express that—l have no prote sions to be a political woman ; I reign, but I do not ignore that others govern for me, and I have no desire to take their place. Ah ! here we are far enough from the sovereigns who from the summit of their PA B 8 false head-dresses preside at councils, select min isters, organize distant expeditions, and, while living sumptuously, derpatch soldiers to be killed, in order to please the Archbishop of Gra nada or the Sister Patrocfnio. Another reads, "Absurdity of the French Cbn stitntion," and runs:—"lt appears that the Brit ish constitution forbids the Bovereign from speak ing about politics. The French constitution is less severe,and only refuses this privilege to news paper editors." A third is entitled, "Robbery of the Nation,"' which" says:—"Monday, Anguet 19.—t3eventy slx years ago to-day (In 1792) the people pil laged the Tuileries. To-day it is exactly the contrary." A fourth M. Roefor "ripopari the French Govern ch ment, t " and heads writ Wes: All ul thar rests in the world will not weaken the• effect of the lesson given t. the Tuileries.

A Mormon Missionary, but no• Ito emits, Under the beading of "A Mormon at Beim Etienne" the Memortai de la Loire relates the following: "Our city has enjoyed the distin guished honor of having bad during the whole of this week within its walls a Latter Day Saint. He came a missionary from the Great Salt Lake City and was sent to France by Brigham Young to recruit adherents for Mormonism and take them across the Atlantic and the United. States to the new Zion beyond the Rocky mountains This delegate, named James Kimball, ie the brother GI John Kimball, some time the under-Governor of Utah, and who has lately died, second pontiff, of the new religion. He himself also occupies a high rank in the sacerdotal hierarchy of the State. Mr. James Kimball has spent his time entirely in vain at St. Etienne. Notwithstanding his elo quent lectures, his promises of the grandest miracles and the prospects which be held out of a life of happiness, he has been unable to per fUsele any inhabitant of this city, male or female, to follow bim to the holy land of the elect. Singular Experiment at Havre. The Ilarre Journal gives an account of an in teresting experiment lately made in that port. An American, named Stoner, dressed in an aqua tic costume of his own invention, and accom panied by a friend similarly attired, jumped Into the sea from a steamer, and moved about in the water in an erect attitude, the water only up to the breast. He and his friend ate and drank pro visions which they had taken with them in a tin tor, they tired off pistols, hoisted a flag upon the box, lay down upon the water, and per formed various other feats, apparently as much at their ease as if they had been on dry' land. After an hour Mr. Stoner's companion left the water, the motion of the waves having made him feel rather sea sick. Mr. Stoner remained longer and went out a long way to sea When he re turned on board be took off his sea-going ems tume and the , sandals; leaded with lead, which kept him In a vertical position in the water, and appeared In his usual dress, which had not been in the least wetted. SPAIN. The Independance Beige says : "The Diario Espanol asserts that the possibility of an ap proaching change in the general policy of the country is vaguely spoken of at Madrid; some people even fancy they can indicate the course which the Government will take. These rumors have acquired some consistency, and our own in formation tends to confirm them. A new Ministry is talked of, to be taken from that sec tion of the Moderate party which makes the nearest approach to the Liberal Union. Marshal Concha and MM. Alonzo Martinez and Vaha monde are spoken of as the ,principal mem bers. It is very evident that ptiblic opinion would not be satisfied with so little as thisi Such a Cabinet might no doubt recall the exiled gener a als, and the Duke and Duchess of Montponsier themselves,udght proclaimgi complete amnesty, make the elections more proclaims free, and restore some liberty to the press, but affairs have reached the point at which all this would pro duce no effect. At the present moment the few partisans of the dynasty which still cherish the hope of not seeing it sink, have come to speak of the abdication of the Queen in favor of her eon, with Espartero as Regent, and it is asserted that overtures have already been made to the old Pro silt thief. But that would, in all nrobabilfty, avail nothing except for the mo ment, and would not long retard the doom which the dynasty has brought upon itself." Incendiarism in et. Petersburg. [l3t. Peteseburg (Auglet 18)..ColTeepopdenes of the Lon. - don Daily News.) While the fires, now so frequent in England, are so often attributed to solar ignition, those of St. Petersburg are, on the contrary, supposed to be the work of incendiaries. 'There is much to support such a theory; in the first place, the great fires which devastated whole streets of this capital some six or seven years ago were proved to have been caused by members of a secret political organization, which was brought to light after the attempt on the Emperor's life; and in the second place, there is no doubt that threatening letters have been received by many persons in St. Petersburg and its neighborhood, warning them of its intended conflagration. The Petersburgskie redomasti gives a transcript of one of these "proclamations," as they are here called, printed on thin paper, and bearing a seal with the device "Exaspera tion." The following is a close translation of it : Tux CAUSE or THE FlRES.—Numbers of peo ple have been kept or are kept in prison under a kind of preliminary arrest, without having been convicted of any crime. Of such victims, ruined and emitted as they are, a society has been formed, which has resolved for the arrest of every innocent man to originate a fire, in order by such means to rouse the oppressed peo ple; robberies to be permitted at the fires, in order to compensate those who have been ruined, and also to provide funds for the support of the so cloy. The above Is hereby made known. There's something ludicrous and childish in this "proclamation," but it nevertheless points to a sore place in the Russian body politic, which, notwithstanding a kind' of habeas corpus law, is subject to much worry and detention on the part of the executive and secret police, par ticularly in the capital. Besides, these "procla mations" cannot be a hoax, as some of the Ras- Elan, papers profess to believe. Revolution and incendiarism are dangerous games to play in any country, andwone but the most 'reckless would run the risk of printing and circulating such a document as the above. The post-office has inter cepted several hundred copies of it, and it is said that the police master of St. Petersburg continues to this day to receive them through mysterious channels. The Continental (Paris) Gazette says • "Adelina_ Patti made her first appearance since her marriage on Saturday last, in "Lucia," at Hombourg-les-Bains. She met with a great, very great success; a superb bouquet was thrown her from the Royal box, and it literally rained flowers from all parts of the house, so much so that the stage was nearly covered. It was per haps one of her greatest triumphs. It is said PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTE3IBED. 8, 1868 RUSSIA. Patti's jEleappearquce OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY. that her voice has improved. Is this possible?

The Correspondance Italienne states that de- , sertere from the Pontifical army are continually passing through Verona. They are mostly Ger mans and Protestants. The Cause of their de sertion appears to be the non-fulfilment of the promises made to them at the time of their en listment. Ile Visits the Wilmington Commercial —Jae is In a Benzinian Condition. [From the Wilmington Commercial of Yesterday.' • Shortly before eight o'clock this morning Sena,- tor Saulsbury called at the Commercial office. He arrived In Wilmington last week, but had hitherto neglected to see us. Up to sometime on Satur day the Senator had maintained the newly-formed temperance reputation of the Wilmington De mocracy. At that time somebody persuaded the Senator to take something. Since then the Sena tor has felt that his toot was on his native heath. Fun, frolic and familiarity inspired his condition. The sports of his happy hours upon the Diamond at Georgetown arose in his recollection. The Senator has ruined the whole Democratic party's'character. Its breath smells. This we regret, but we cannot help. Mr. Sault bury's appearance in the Commercial office was to some degree unexpected. He came in to put up the money in a little bet of one hundred thousand dollars on the election. His dress was respectable, his boots blacked, his hair rather awry, and his manner sportive in the extreme. He addressed the Commercial in familiar style, alluding to it in terms not complimentary, and proposing to devote it to uses which its fair pages do not deserve. He Waffled his apprecia tioof it, however, by offering to subscribe, and professing his readiness to draw a check for fifty dors In payment. A considerable number of people having gathered around, the. Senator invited them up to our counter to take a drink, and to the scandal of all good people. called on Mr. Hersey, a prin cipal pillar of the Good Tempi - ars, to set out the bottles. This conduct of the Senator was pain faL It indicated, how completely the Tempe rance spirit of our Democratic opponents has fled. Several gentlenien, fearing that our visitor was troublesome, asked him to • accompany them to his hotel. This, however, he persistently de clined, and expressed his intention to remain some time. Our young friend of sixteen years, Charley Wiggins, having suggested a doubt as to whether the Senator had so much loose change in his pockets as the beta he was offering to make, the Senatorial wrath was greatly excited, and the Senatorial language was far from that high level 01 politeness which we should naturally expect from the ruling classes of Dover, and below. He further intimated a desire to chastise Charley, and shook tne Senatorial fist in a very menacing manner. Gentlemen, he said, always had money—plenty um-money. We have no objection to people expressing their views on political topics, but we think the Senator meant to insult us, when he swung his hat and said: " Error, boys ! Lea ,giv6 thr-cheers rDemo-• crate party, right here in Cmercial of's." This was too much. It was more then spor tive. For Senator Saulsbury of Georgetown to come into the front office of the Daily Commer ,-ial, at an early hour on Monday morning, and in the presence of a large and excited crowd, to swing his hat and , propose three cheers for the Democratic party, ' right here in C'mercial of's," is too much. We don't mind a little,prpfanity, and we can stand a good deal of — vulgarity, when we consider the speaker is only the representa tive of Delaware, in the Senate of the United States, but there is a point, as the Dechtration of Independence pertinently remarks, beyond which endurance ceases to be a virtue. The Blair Family—The Father and Two bons. [Washington Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] If it should ever be your lot, walking in the streets of Washington, to see an idiotic-faced old man of a singular parchment ugliness, wearing a Quaker-brimmed hat of felt or straw, his mouth ajar, his eyes vacant, wrinkles like a withered apple extending across his face transversely, his sandy hairs frost smitten—a being altogether to whose physiognomy that of Horace Greeley is the bright and morning star—conclude the por trait of the stranger by writing beneath It Fiank Y. Blair. This old man, very nearly as ugly as now, was brought to Ibis city from kentucky by order of Andrew Jackson, who liked the sheet lightning way in which he "lit" upon his volitical enemies. He was received by the whole Cabinet at dinner, who looked at him and experienced poignant dis apaointment. .Jackson set him at his left hand, opposite the suave Van Buren,and he munched through his dinner in a speechless, verdant way, transfixed' with the wild egottsms of old Andrew, and from that hour his willing worshipper and eulogist. When he got away from good society and lifted his quill, it was seen, however, as Mr. Jack son remarked, that he was no "smooch." What Jackson could swear, Blair could barb and are straight to the mark, and for all that administra tion Blair was the daily and confidential literary Secretary of the President. He carried his proofs to the White House every noon, and read them to Old Hickory, who wiped out and swore in sen tences with a savage gluttony for adjectives and a manifest repulsion for elegancies; but on the beads df Blair and his partner, Rives, Jackson poured moneys and benefits; till the one died rich a little while ago, with one fortune here, and, it is said, a.hundred thousand gold dollars besides in the Bank of England, while the other, past tbreescorwand ten, lives en in the neighborhood of this city, and finds one of his boys a candidate for the office of .Calhoun. Brought up in Washington, in the prevalent days of political way-laying, weekly and murder ous duelling, Sara Houston sitting on a fence by the Capitol to club an ex-(;ongressman, and one ex-Cabinet officer driven out of the city by an ther's cow-hide, the old man Blair himself , prac ticing with the rifle every morning before break fast, and capable of covering the bullet of Rives with another at fifty yards, shot for shotwhat wonder that the'young Births have grown up revolutionists and. semi-savages, proud of their unforgiving natures, and ready to upset Congresa or rout StaWmilitia with equal brilliancy. "What do you think'of young Frank 131airrq said to-day to an old, - Jacksonlan Democrat, al most as old as Frank ,Blair, Sr., himself; "you knew him from boyhood." "Re's a rale grit. He was alwayri lighting at school. • He believed in the code, air; so did the old man stand by the code; they, were all on the code. They were good shots, and proportion ately proud of their honore." POLITICAL. SENATOR SAULSBURY. "la Faulk the equal of .Montgomery in abi lity?" "Smarter, sir; not so good natured, but more popular. He'll fight quicker. Bless you! that Frank would make no bones in cleaning out the whole Congress, hoes, foot and artillery. He's like the old man. He's a great reformer Old Mr. Blair, resident at Silver Spring, a farm which he purchased many years ago, near the Maryland line, has mingled for fifty years in ac tive national politics. Ho has trained his boys for flights of cavorting, Montgomery to- be the suave and oleaginous diplomatist, and Freak to seek fortune *here she flies. The former has been brought np on the model or Van Buren,.ffte latter on the example of Jackson. The atilildee of both are apparent, but Frank Is essentially a feudal creature, believing according to his vanities, flushed wltltoti compliment, the eon of: Pallier° at a slight, while, Montgomery has an.uneatrY jesuitry, that will:not let him be ein cererand all of them are indbrultable,deep divers; sure to come vp. and neither htur ever been a a Northern man" in any fondness of heart. Thep live now more honestly . than-they have professed for seven years, at the bosom 4f 4 the Democracy. Old Mr. Blair receives people at Silver Spring with effusions of Bourbon andivolttmes of remi niscence. He entertained Andrew ; Johnson for two weeks after his intoxicated inangaral speech, and there the second Andrew, imam house of the steward of the grst, submitted to-be gently stim ulated, fed on woodcock, arid fetched' up to a Vice Presidential stomach at Mat. . The whole family work together for advancement. Their general luck has been surprising. It was Montgomery, Blair who brought abwn to news paper row that letter of Frank which got him , the nornination,,and possibly the old man suggested the time for it. Montgomery Blair is now stumping Maryland, announcing himself as "a mem ner of the Cabinet of President Lincoln." To him Mr. Lincoln addressed the most per emptory document of his Chief Magistracy, "It is time." The Pennsylvania Colfee-Pot. Mr. William A. Wallace, Chairman of the Penn sylvania Democratic State Committee, whose ex ploits in the campaign of 1867 we have already recorded, who' seems to have been the original genius by whom the XXlst Senate District, con sisting of six counties, was carried by one of the most shameful frauds upon record, has turned np with another address. How Wallace operated in 1867 it may be well briefly to remind our readers. The notion was to in troduce into the counties of Blair, Hunt ingdon, Centre, Mifflin, Perry, and Juniata, sham voters enough to elect Shugart over his Republican opponent, John K. Robin son. How this was done with forged natural ization papers, sealed with a stolen seal and soaked in coffee to give them an air of antiquity, our readers will also remember. They Will also remember that Chairman Wallace. of the Democratic State Committee, was proved to have written to the County Committees a se cret and confidential circular. These were ad vised to employ agents to drum up and manu facture voters. "Pay them," said Mr. Wallace), "for their' time in warning the dilatory - and for election day, and provide the means to haul the slow men to the polls. It is better to spend money in this way than in meetings. * * * In very slow districts I would suggest a special contract with active men, thus: In 1865, the district polled 100 Democratic yob* in 1866; 120 Democratic votesi , now, for every Democratic vote over 110 polled we will pay a fixed- sum the day after election. * * * See that your agents have all Democrats assessed, naturalized, and their taxes paid." This was Mr. Wallaoe's plan, and they did - assess, and naturalize, and pay taxes with a vengeance; but Senator Shugart couldn't keep his seat. He was ignobly hoisted therefrom. Wellthis is an old story ; but here Mr. William A WallaceW makes his appearance with another document, In which he shows an equal ability in giving color (without the aid of coffee) to varion - s_ mendacities, some of which are ingenious, and some not particularly so. For In stance, Mr. Wallace asks : "Why is the National Debt greater now than when Lee surrendered? and why does it still increase ?" As it isn't greater; but less by several mil lions, and as• it doesn't still increase, but diminishes, and as Mr. Wallace probably knows this to be tine, we do not see why any body should bother himself to answer this most gratuitous and absurd question. The National Debt has only seemed to be increased, because there has been added to it some $32,000,000 contingent responsibilities, which will be met by the Pacific' railroads. So much for Seymour's misrepresentations, reproduced by Wallace's Democratic State Committee. Wallace proceeds to ask a few more hard ques tions; as for instance: "Why is the Constitution violated, and the Union not restored ? and why are our resources wasted, the people oppressed, the cost of living trebled, and our trade de stroyed ?" —When a Democrat says generally that "the Constitution has been violated," without giving a bill of particulars, you may be sure that he is trying to humbug you, and the best way is to ask him what part of the document has been violated, and hold him down to chapter and verse. Mr. Wallace's affection for the Con stitution didn't prevent him from scheming a most extraordinary and outrageous violation of its provisions, by virtue of which he and his as sociates undertook to override the naturalization laws; 'nor was the gentleman very much troubled when his Southern mends undertook to abolish the Constitution altogether. And when he asks, "Why is the Union not restored?" perhaps the best answer would be, "So far as it la eke anything of restoration it's be cause you and your friends _at the North have wheedled a portion of the South into the belief that Seymour will be elected, and that then will be their time for making a better bargain." And yet this 31r. Wallace is the gentleman who has the impudence to say, "Direct your arguments to reason and not to the passions!" This isn't by any means the first doctor who would have done well to take his own physic. Whether or not it is the liveliness of his faith in his coffee-pots which leads him to indulge in flattering hopes, we do not know; but if he ex pects to give the vote of Pennsylvania to Sey mour by any of the dodges practiced in 1867, we fancy that this time he will not find, the little game quite so easy. Perhaps, however, we may undervalue Mr. Wallace's talenta, in, the depart ment of manufacturing naturalization papers and then steeping them. in coffee to• make their. appearance correspond with their date. Howeyer, -as under his sug gestion and superintendence dead people and idiots voted, and some of them several 'times at the same election, it is impossible to say how many votes he might poll if he should take it into his head to run for the Prieldency himself. At any rate he will be a valuable man for- the De mocracy after they have taken their predestinate whipping under the banner of Blair and Seymour. He can get up majorities to order, and take contracts to carry States with a sure confidence in his talent for making American citizens out of the raw material in the twinkling of an eye. Wherefore, we advise him not to waste his powers upon others, but to run for the Presi dency next time himself. And we have no doubt that John Alien, "the Wickedest Man in New York," could be induced'to run for Vice President on the same ticket and 'perhaps go into Pennsylvania to boss Mr. 'Wallace's next job. We believe that It was only found neces- eery to commit ono murder during the last operation—that of a poor Irishman, who, having sold himself, didn't know enough to hold his tongue. With a capacity for polling perfectly unlimited vote, Ur. 'Wallace shetultl4ir A n for something. And, with' the warning fat the poor Vict of last year before the pnbllw no more murders, probably, will be necessary, Then there is the Voting Idiot, who, we bellevt, is still living. Then there are the useful gentlemen •with abilities fdi voting in half a down precincts on the same day. Oh! Mr. Wallace.caust certainly run for the Preeldency!—N. ; . ribane of to-day.
