Wo arc authorized to state that tl Union Reform candidates earnest desire to discuss the questions of tl day with their Republican opponen at tho Abbeville Meeting, on the 30t Ijet th<* Republicans put their Rie raonds in tho field, and take up tl g.ngo of battle. War between France and Prussia. Tho question of absorbing interc at this timo?which fills the colum | of the journalist, and furnishes tho c jdinary topic of conversation at t! ! street corner?is tho war betwe< j- ranee anu i'russia?a war sodden its origin ; but probably extended its operation and direful in ilB result Two first class powers like France at Prussia, can scarcely meet in the sho< of battle without provoking a gener European war. Tho ostensible eauso of the war li '.been tho candidature of Prince Lc ! pold.of Prussia, for tho Spanish thron land which France 1ms charged up( j Prussia with having intrigued to brir 'about. This Prussia has denied ; hi | her reply has been unsatisfactory, ai ;coupieu wuii uio renisai 01 King \Y jliamtogivo audience to tho From ; Embassador, Bcncdetti, has rouse! tl i war like spirit of tlio nation. We cji ! well imagine tlic jealousy which Frani ! would naturally entertain of Prussir j interforenec in Spain. A colossal po\ J or, threatening to overshadow Europ land the supremacy of her ancient 1 ival, she would be doubly dangeroi I on tho south-west frontier of Franc 'controlling and directing the arm J and resources of Spain. For the sau 'reason this government nrntrsft'ii 'gainst French ascendency iu Mexie and has ever insisted in carrying 01 the Monroe doetriuo of non-Europca interference iu the affairs of this coi itiocnt. Tho position of France, c I thin point., is sustained, we see, by El gland, and we suppose, by other Ei ropean powers, and is very neccssar i to tho conservation of tho balance' ! power on tho continent. I Tho reply of Prussia to the demant | of France, seems to have proved u satisfactory, inasmuch as it failed I ; furnish an}' guarantee against futui jinterference iu the affairs of .Spaii ; But the real causes of the war lie 0 | back of the ostensible pretext. The jaro to be* found in the long continue jealousj- between the two powers, an I which has been intensified by Prussia i pre-eminence, quickened by the g ; niusoi joismarK, anaeulminatingin tl : victory of Sadowa. France lias noid< of becoming a second rate power, an : of being overshadowed by her ami , tioue rival, fcho wants to extend 1?< j frontier to the Rhine, which she r igards her natural oouudary, and cor : plains that Prussia fails to carry 01 the stipulations of the Treaty of Tragi as to Schleswig-IIolstein.

On the contrary, Prussia too, it said, has designs upon Alsaeo and Lc raine, the German-French provinces < i the upper and lower Rhine, and as tl ...ampion of German unity to wrc from France a large portion of Fren< territory. This view is confirmed I a dispatch from Bismark to "Wcrthc tho Minister of North Germany at F ris, in which he tells Werther to tnal oo coucessions, but to prolong tho s untion to the 20th July, when he wou bo ready* As to the result3, it is idle to spec late.

Their per- , >r, sonal characters have beeri maligned i a- and their principles misrepresented ; cc and wc are sure that all of our people, it- white and colored, will give them the Id opportunity of placing themselves right before the country, and setting u- forth in a proper light tho true princibc pies of Reform. To arrive at proper w conclusions it is necessary to hear e. both sides, and thcro must be gome- ? id thing altogether wrong with that parih ty> bo it Republican or otherwiso, that at shuns the light of fair discussion. It id is all that Messrs. Carpenter and Butof ler ask for themselves; it is tho veryid least that intelligent freemen?be they %r wliito or colored, llepublicans orDeraig ocrats?can cxtond to them.

From the published call for another! meeting on to-morrow, it \\*ill be seen that tiic nominations al the last and ( the preceding meetings, do not secure, unanimous approval.

SENATOR SAWYER. We aro indebted to Senator Sawyer < I for a copy of the Daily Globe, contain-1 ing tho discussion upon the Appropriation Bill beforo Congress, and j especially on tho following amendment as an additional section to the' bill: Snc. ?. And be it further enacted, That the heads of the several Kxccu-j tivo Departments be, and they are hereby authorised to allow, and there shall be paid from any proper appro-1 priation, to ofticcrs and employees of. the United States who failed to take ' the oath prescribed bv tho nr-t. ?n.' ? / ?

Tho design of tho amendment wns Lo dispense with the ' iron-clad " oath j n tho cases therein provided, ami j Senator Sawyer made an earnest! upccch in its behalf. Under the 30th i rule of the Senate, tho amendment a*as decided to be out of order. The Senator, however,succeeded in getting; the following modified amendment1 passed, for which, and fur other ef-1 oris in their behalf, ho deserves the .hanks of the Southern publie: And be it further enacted, That tho secretary of tho Treasury is hereby Authorized to pay such persons an were actually employed in the insurrectionary States, in connection with .he Treasury Department us oiiiccrs >f the United States during the year 18G5 or 18G(i, compensation at the ates provided by law for service rendered as such officers; and an amount that may bo sufficient for that purpose is hereby appropriated out of any money not otherwise appropriated. President Grant and the Southern Emigrants to Brazil..?The generosity of President Grant in extending passage to destituto Southern emigrants, returning from Brazil and other South Amorican States, is worthy of all praise. Many of these left their Southern homes at the close of the war, and meeting with unexpected difficulties and disappointments, have been reduced to the last stage of poverty ; and now a band of heart-broken 2.\ues, arc unauie to got back. Willi true humanity, aud just consideration, the Government extends to them a free passago Lome. Disaffection among Republicans. ?As matters now stand, says the Charleston Neioa, there is considerable Jisaffection among the Radicals, some if whom, led by BeLarge, Cain, l)clancy and other*, arc in favor of a majority of colored men being put in aflicc, and others are opposed to the movement, tho largest number of whom aro the white men who hold alFiccs, and their nupporters. So great is this disaffection that, as we are in formed, it has been necessary that* Governor Scott and Secretary of State Cardozo should come here and attempt to heal the breach. Wo had the pleasure on YVcducsday last of receiving a visit from Wm. II.

Theresa C. -Brown, of Anderson after a critical consultation of tho most popular authors on the science and practico of Domestic Cookery, and with tho aid of several ladies of great practical experience, ami reputntion as model housewives', proposes to issue from the press early in the ensuing Fall, a hook to bo entitled "Modern Domestic Cookery". It is the design of tho work, whilst embracing directions for tho preparation of ; all tho delicacies which may gratify tho. taste of the opulent, especially to adapt itself to tho reduced ciretimfitances of Southern ladies, and to enablo them to increase the comforts and attractions of home by converting tho simplo materials of ordinary diet into comparative delicacies and luxuries. Tho author has been flattered by tho opinion of friends to whom tho work has been submitted, that it may bo made eminently useful to all classes of tho community. The ladies of Anderson liavo always enjoyed a reputation as model housewives, and especially as proficients in tho scicncc of cookery. This work may be presumed to cmbodjT their collective wisdom and experience on the subject, collected and arranged by one of eminent taste and skill. The book will bo a neatly printed octavo of some 200 pages. A subscription list may be found at our office. Meetjxo of the Piule Society.?
