It is ex ceedingly probable that Parliament will meet on the 17th of January, to which time it was prorogued, but the means by which Lord Beaconsfteid hopes to' maintain Britisli interests under tlie Treaty of Paris will require further deliberations.

London, Dec. 18—Witli reference to internul questions which are now dividing Prince Bismarck from Em peror William and some of tlie minis ters, the Standard's Berlin dispatch says: Prince Blsmark seems to have over come the obstacles which have hith erto hindered the realization of life plun for remodelling the cabinet. Tlie rumor is gaining credit that Herr Cainpansen,(Viee President of tlie Council of Ministers and Minister of Finaneeand Dr. Achenbacli, Minis ter of Commerce and Pub lic Works will resign, and thut the latter will be replaced by Dr, Frledenthal, Minister of Agriculture; thut Herr Benningseii, President of tlie Chamber of Deputies, will be come Home Minister, and the other portfolios be distributed, when Bis marck returns to Berlin. Such a so lution would be a success for the Na tional Liberal Party, who up to tlie middle of last week despaired of so hopeful an issue. Apparently the Conservatives declined, at the Inst moment, to enter the Cabinet previ ous to tlie removal of Dr. Falk, Min ister of Public Instruction and Eccle siastical Affairs, and unless they had guarantees that all ecclesiastical luws Issued since the beginning of the ec- elesiastieal war should be partly uliol- islied and partly remodelled. Bismarck is now working to re move some courtiers of high rank, whom he charges with conspiracy against him.

When we saw her through that last afthir With Titus (tlie man who not only represents tlie one ease of constipa tion mentioned in Scripture, hut who made, In her case, a union of patronymics disagreeable both to modern sensibilities and ears)—when we stood by her in that matter, we did not think that, wo should ever be ailed on to defend her again. Our warnings were so urgent! We told her to beware of every fellow who ex hibited tlie least inclination “to feel life oats,” for men, like horses, are to be avoided in such conditions! And she promised! She did pro mise indeed; anil to mink of her jumping from an austere Van Austin to tlie oriental arms of old L’Aurlent himself! It Is too bad, too bad. Truly, we can say, we never nursed a gay gazelle, etc. But facts are facts. There’s no way to get around this thing. There isn’t a colt in tlie Prentice Club (to say nothing about the three-year- olds!) cun explain tills heartless' de sertion. Here were all of us ready to minister to tlie wants of this lone lady. She is a home girl. She was born here. She grew up here. We knew her before she took the tucks out of her dresses. We stood ready, each of us, to see thut she did not need a protector home o’ nights. Nay, we would have sent a young Prentician along witli her to do the tiling hand somely, and, when lie gave out, we might have secured a relay from Mr. Haideman’s Young Men’s Christian Association Base Ball Club to see fair ilay. But no; like Cousin Sally DiJ- ard, she must make “a cussed fool of herself,” to tlie neglect, to say noth ing about the mortification, of tlie whole ship’s crew of us! It is mighty depressing. In fact, it is powerful discouraging to live stock all over Kentucky. And yet, softly! Is it quite sure, dear Alice, that we may not lie mis taken in tlie matter? This jxxn* Scotch girl tells a terribly plain tale. She says, with proper modesty and brevity, that hIic is the daughter of a poor clergyman in Glasgow; that she marrie'd Henry Klsling (so-called The Orient, and very “oriental” he seems to be), when he and she were* silly young singers; tliut she taught him the rudiments of his art, as Is natural she should, because tlie girl is always quicker and brighter than the boy; that lie was a good husband until he met—hegud!—until he met you, sweet Alice! Then tlie simper ing lad was converted into a rude man of the world. We put it mildly, Alice! She says that you used to say, “merely in jest,” that he deserved a more exalted fate. She says that lie used “to come in late," under pretext of “making friends of the reporters, and getting them to write him up." Ah, poor girl! The lies that husbands tell to fool their wives do make us sick—why deny it! They ure enough to make a dog, a yard-dog, sick! They didn’t make her sick. More’s the pity they did not. They only just fooled her. Finally, lie made it case, and got her buck to tier father's house in Scotland. Poor girl! The creature actually crossed the water, spent six weeks within six horn's of her, and never let her khow. (Tliut was you, Alice, and there is where your share of the account will finally come in). So, ut lost, she saved money enough to come hack over the Atlantic and look ufter her husband. She came. She was shown, to ids room in the hotel. She heard life foot-step. She ran to tlie bead of the stairs. ■ She was in time to hear you say—you, Alice, you of all other women—“don’t be long, dear.” * * * He wus enraged. lie abused her, this newly-arrived wife—come ull tlie way across the salt, salt sea— and tlie pixir, infatuated, enraged young fool — crazy with love for you, Alice—lie “threw her violently against the wall!"

Like a sensible Seotcii girl, taking Jim Beck’s advice, she resolv ed to let him go, lias sued for a di vorce, and is now, n cowering little body in New York, waiting tor the action of tlie courts.

Tlie proceedings to-day were more exeitingand threatening than any that have occurred for years. Tlie parties to tlie quarrel were Senators Crink ling mill Gordon, hut tlie whole Sen ate was wrought up to a high pitch of excitement. Tlie discussion was on the nomination of Wade to be a ollector of internal revenue in Geor gia. Senator Gordon had made a speech against the confirmation of Wade, and Senator Thurman took tlie Hour to protest against tlie course that was being pursued with nomina tions for office. He said that if a dis cussion of two or three hours In length was to be had on tlie political relations of t lie North and South, the two parties, the President’ and every thing else having any bearing on the subject, there was little hope of ac complishing anything In tlie Inst hours before tin* long recess. At this point Senator Gordon rose to s|>eak again, and there came from tlie Re publican side cries of “Go on, go on with tho calendar! Let’s have tlie vote!” Tlie words “Go on” came from several Senators, among them Hamlin, Mitchell and Uoiikling. ordering the chair. Tliis greatly incensed tho quick tempered Georgiu Senator, and lie cried out ill an impatient tone: “The Senator from New York Is issuing his orders. He is ordering the chair.” Mr. Uoiikling, considerably excited, demanded tliut the Senator from Georgia should repent his words. Mr. Gordon then repeated that the Senator from New York was .issuing his orders. Colliding then, in a fever of excite ment, said, in a loud voice: “Tf the Senator from Georgia says thut 1 issue orders to tlie chair be says what is not true,” and, with increased an ger, lie continued, “anfl lest the Sen ator may misunderstand me I will repent that if he says 1 issue orders to the chair lie says wliut is not true." Gordon at once sprang to his feet, and, trembling with rage, said: “Thin question, sir, can be settled outstde this chamber. " At tills point Conklihg was quite us excited ns Ills antagonist, und tak ing u step toward Gordon, who was on the opposite side of the chamber, he replied in a fierce voice: “I am willing to settle it here and now; and once more I will say to the Senator from Georgia that, if lie says I gave orders to tne chair, he nays what is not true,” and live words seemed to blister his mouth Botli Senators thereupon took their seats, and the business proceeded for some time without any reference to the unhappy difficulty. Shortly be fore adjournment, " however, Mr. Thurman referred to tlie controversy und said it was unfortunate and should be tlie subject of regret. He said lie did not think the Senator from New York intended to be dis courteous to either tlie Chair or the Senator from Georgia. He thought Mr. Conkling merely desired to go on with the business, tne same as Sena- ttirH frequently call for a vote. It is very often done, and he said other Senators had ulso called out to “Go on," meaning to go on with the culeudar.- Mr. Tliurmun Imped thut tlie occurrence would not in* referred to outside of tlie chamber. Sir. Hanllin also spoke in tho Interest of forgiveness between tlie two Sena tors. He said the trouble arose from a misunderstanding oil the purl of tile Georgia Senator. Mr. Hamlin said lie Imd himself culled for a vote in the words quoted, but no disre spect was intended, and lie did noth ing more liiun wus customary or than lie hud a right to do. Neither of tlie bellgcrunt Senators made any re- murk, und both kept their Heats. The Senators were urged to keep tlie disagreeable circumstance to them selves. but'there is, nevertheless, a good deal of tulk about it to-night. It is generally believed among Sena tors tliut no further notice will lie taken of the occurrence on tlie part of Senator Gordon. B1.AIN1C VH. HILL. Tlie debate on the nomination in question wus not of a very amicable character, viewed in any light. Sen ators Blaine and Hill resumed their old buttles, begun in the House about two yours ago, and some hot words passed between them. _ Wade, tlie nominee is a native Georgian and a Republlean. He was objected to by Gordon and Hill on tin* ground tliut lie was not of good character ; thut lie wus meddlesome and a breeder of strife. They referred to a letter Wuile hud written to the North, charging that a man had been taken out uud hung by a mob, and they said it was untrue, and that a mail wlm would breed strife ought not to hold office. Senator Patterson culled tin* atten tion of the Georgia Senator lo the occurrence in Augustu, Georgia, two or three years ago, when a white man had pushed a negro out of a street cur, and tlie negro hud drawn a knife and killed him,the negroe subsequent ly having been taken from tlie officers by a white mob und hung. The Georgia Senators admitted the facts, but they said tliut their State was as peaceable and law-abiding as tlie State of Maine. This brought Mr. Iilaine to ids fees. He said lie thought the Senator was in error. There iiad never been a homicide in Maine that was not followed by the punishment Senator to steudy ids nerves; that this talk of Southern outrages would last as long as tlie outrages last, and •c would always lie a feeling be tween the Nortli and South until life and property were as secure in tlie South as they are ill the North and tho Senator from (leorgin would irobably hear a good deal of talk on lie floor of the Senate. Mr. Gordon said lit* thought that tho Senators from the sovereign State of Georgia ought to have something to say In theeliojee of the officers in that"State. Mr. Blaine reminded him that he did not bold these views two days ago, when lie was trying to secure the confirmation of two New York nominees against the opposi tion of tlie New York Senator. Gor don said: “It is different where both Senators united in theirelioice." Blaine inquired, if-thnt was to lie tlie policy of tlie Georgia Senator, if he would vote against a nominee in it State where both Senators were op posed to the nominee, but in favor of a nominee where only one Senator was opposed to him? Tliis raised a great laugh on the Republican side, but the Georgia Senator made no re- Jiorrill, Edmunds, Hour and other Republicans spoke in favor of Wade, and he was finally confirmed by a strict party vote—no Democrats vot ing for him, no Republicans against him. discussing m’linn. Tlie nomination of McLiuu, of Florida Returning Board fume, for Chief Justice of New Mexico, was also the occasion of a sensation in the Senate. Senator Conover tnude a speech against the confirmation. He said if McLlnn was a lawyer at all lie had no ability, and was incompetent and unfit for any judicial office. He had been on both sides during tlie war, and had betrayed both, and while in Florida he had devoted him self more to applejack than to law. He said tlie nominee was a time server uiul insincere, and would be long to either party as Ills interests dictated. He said during the Presi dential count in Florida tlie Republi cans had to keep tlie closest wateli on McLlnn, and If they bail not done so he would have sold out to the Demo crats, "and we should,” suit! Mr. Conover, “have thus lost our Presi dent." Conover’s speech created a good deal of amusement, and when the vote was taken the nomination was overwhelmingly rejected without a division. • ♦ -• Too Particular.
