Aa anticipated, the Demporats of Koc
tncky havo carried the State el polio DB
by a .very large 'majority. And thiB waa
accomplished "in apite of the Btrong ef?
forts made by the Radical party. The
Democratio majority is put at 80,000.
According to Senator Morton, this shows
Kentucky to bo in a bad way.. By
others, however, her oondition will bo
regardod quite satisfactory:
The French Assembly is still avereo to
a transfer of the Ohambor to Paris, nnd
it is not surprising tbat the riotous spirit
of the mobs of that city Btill inspiro? n
fooling of dread and aversion among tho
friends of parliamentary government.
The Brat necessity of auoh a system is
freedom from overshadowing local influ?
ence. While Napoleon had at hand a
powerful army to obeck uprisings, and
while personal government prevailed,
Paris was a convenient capital; but. it is
a perilous location at periods when auto?
cratic power ia not supreme,'and when
the notion of the nation is really can'
trolled by the decisions of its National
Assembly.
THE NORTH CABOLINA EI>ZOTXON:-It
seems probable from the returns that
the oall for a convention to change the
Constitution of North Carolina has boen
.defeated. The prime object of the
friends of the proposed change was to
lop off Borne of the abuses permitted
under the Republican Constitution, and
not, as has been alleged, to interfere
with the rights of. the negro. Thc
statute which authorized the vote ex
pressly- forbids any notion in the pro
posed convention opon-subjects embo
died in the thirteenth, fourteenth or fif
teenth amendments, and also forbid)
interference with the rights given to thc
negro, i . ? . , 'T - . rr':) ?

in ease with which a horse oan bo led tc
water or-made- to drink. Alsace ant
Lorraine are in the peaceable possessio*:
of Germany, but the progress of dena
tionalizing the inhabitants is admitted
even by the j dormans, to be very dis
c . oouraging. "The strictest non-intercours
is maintained on the part of the poopl

their losses at German hands, and maid

Bismarck, however, exhibits the utmoe
skill, patienoo and forbearance in deal

one of no easy or rapid performance

DR. DoiiiiiKOEit's LAST.-A oorrespon
ont of the New York World sends fro
Munich, July 22d, an account of an i
|erview with Dr. Dollinger. The farnot
professor ie made to say: "Tell tho Am
ricans tbat I ara a Catholic still, nt
hope to die a Catholic, and that nothir
would grieve mo moro than to bo tl
causo of a schism in tho church."
COOP D'BT?TS.-Thia ia BO essentially

had a personal.Vor rather national, fceo
for. ifci It partakes/ too, atroiigly* of
othor French coups, like the coup de
soldi-quito un sudden and sharp. The
consideration of its oharaoter ?riscs
naturally from tho recent statement that
the Count de O?arabord proposed to try
its efficacy. It means a Budden stroke
of State policy, usually intended for tho
overthrow of a constitntion or'a dynasty.
It is not an ordinary revolution, for the
mass of tho people havo little lo do with
it. An ambitious man, with or without
"rightB," privately gathers his parti
Fans, inoculates tho army, counts his
chances, and bursts upon tho world with
a conn. An ignorant populace is para
Ijzed, and ho holds tho reins of power.
Of course, the entire secrecy is tho very
first element of success. France seems
to be in excellent condition for a coup
d'etat, as there are several chieftains
anxious for supremo power, but they aro
watching eaeh other BO closely that
secreoy-as in tho case of Chambord
cannot bo maintained. Something like
this is called in Mexico a pronuncia

suoh things are possible now aro Frnnce,

He lost eleven bogs and a lot of provi?

ITJIJUMINATION OF THE ALPS.-Tbt
Augsburg Gazette publishes the follow?
ing account of the illumination of the
Alps, after the triumphal entry, by t
correspondent in Fraunsteiu: "Yeater
day's triumphal illumination of tin
heights was the grandest, most imposing
and most costly that the Bavarian Alpi
ever witnessed. It is impossible ever
for the ablest pen to attempt to describ?
the brilliancy and splendor in which oui
mountain heights appeared, and I con
sequently confine myself to one romark
viz., that from my point of observatioi
tho so-called 'Kern' Castle, near Traun
stein, where, fifty years ago, the Frond
made fine havoc, I counted no less thai
ninety-three gigantic bonfires. Nobod;
can have any conception of the sacrifie
whioh it has cost our Bavarian motin
t?ineers to ovinoe so brilliantly their jo;
at tho glorious victory and peace; bu
who knows what trouble and labor i
costs to bani tho required fuel np tbes
immense hills?. For instance, up th
Hohen Stauffbo, or the steep Keppen
wund, to Bausohberg, Hoobgren, o
Hoehfolln-all of them measuring 0,00
feet und more in height, or, still highei
up the Wutzmann, rising9,300 feetabov

in glaring letters of fire, to distant coin
tries that the German Empire is reall

A HUGE THINU NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Tho Radic?is, not dreaming that tho
would be defeated, but, on tho centran
sincerely believing that they would b
the victors in the recent contest, ha
mudo preparations for a monster parad
with torches, 1,500' of which woro to b
out. i They also wont as far as guttin
ready au effigy of their oouquoror, bi:
which was nipped in the bud by tb
overwhelming defeat which they ha\
been made to Buffer. How much in coi
trast with their intentions is tbe condm
of tho victors. Although they bad over
reason to glorify tho event by a pilbil
pageant, they did not do so. "When tb
ttadiculs surmised that the Wogent
party had au idea of a night paiadi
forthwith the Mayor of their election ii
vited a conference of leading citizens t
ask that it would not occur. Wcro the
whore we are now, see what tboy woul

As the Act of Congress limits tho j
risdiction of this Board to "stores ai

of the army," no testimony need
taken as to charges for rent, for tho n
of real estuto, for damages to real esta

LOVE.-There is nothing on eartl
worthy to be compared for a momen
with love. No other thing that can give
by itself, unalloyed happiness. A love
less wife is worthless, though passed ii
luxury and crowned with the provides
laurels of successful ambition. A Hf
well set about with love is blessed
though haunted by that restless fat
which seems to deny to some men ant
women what the world calls success. Ti
have boen without a parent's love ii
childhood, without the love of brother
and sisters; to havo passed youth with
out the more romantic lovo which make
Heaven of earth; and to live on in ma
turity, neither feeling nor inspiring tba
strong, enduring love, which makes an
burden light, so tbat it benefits the well
beloved, is to be poor indeed-so poe
that oven the pitying angels have no aim
to give them that can do any good. An
yet how many know nothing of love, c
only understand the word in its ooarsei
sense, so tbat ono blushes to have it ul
tered iu such presence. How man?
moro puro than these, sneer at it as a d(
lusion and absurdity, not uuderstandin
tbat puro lovo is not a thing of tb
senses, but of tho spul; not a flame
flickering and flashing over the passior
ato time of life, but a soft, Bteady glow
lighting it (rom tho cradle to tho grave
and ono may oven hope, burning on be
youd it, si Deo Heaven itself is love.
