I pdled to guumntee to every State a Rcpubli

• argument appears to he this—"That such
provision <>t the national Constitution must
imply the grower in the nation ot judging
what a republican form of government is.
j Wc must thereupon conclude that there is
hereby reserved to . the nation the. right of
dccldjtig when the Slates hnve departed from,
the republican ; foruuof government, and de
mand a . returfi in s-oino'way to that form of
government- *-and\ flic Southern' States, not
having admitted their late slave population
to an equality before the laws, arc not in the
enjoyment of a republican farm of govern
ment.” Such flimsy sophistries ns these
make up ‘‘the warp and the woof ” of the en
tire Radical fabric. Now, is it not
plain to the simplest understanding, if in
equality before the laws and in the matter of
suffrage, constituted a departure from a re-

But tliif authority extends po furtiier than
to a guarantee of a republican fbrm of gov
ernment, which supposes a pre-existing gov
ernment of the form which is to be guaran
teed. At long, therefore, a* the emitting repult-
}icanfor>n* of government are continued, by the
States, they are guaranteed by the Federal Con
stitution. Whenever (He States may choose to
suhstitute]other forms, they hate a right so to do,
and claim the Federal guarantee for the lattor.
Mark 'he language ot this last clause: when
ever the State* may choose, not the Congress of
the United States ! Hero we have an over
whelming answer to all the sophistries of the
Republican party as to the meaning of this
clause in the CnnstitHti6n. This is a lumin
ous and authoritative exposition of this
clause, made by. one of the Irambta of that
instrument, and who did more to shape and
fashion it than all the others engaged in that
great work. This exposition utterly excludes
any such interpretation as that given by the
Radical party in power. But again ; if the
exclusion of a large number of people
from the right ot suffrage, proves that a
government is not republican, then the
United States is not and never has been
a republican government, for the Con
vention which framed the Constitution, with
a full knowledge of these exclusions in the
different States, deliberately adopted the
State rule as the basis of suffrage for the elec
tion of representatives in tlie Congress ol tbe
United 8tatcs, and provided that the Sena
tors of tbe United States should be elected
by the Legislatures of the several States, the
members of those Legislatures having, of
course, b'am elected where such exclusion
existed. If there has been any change in tbe
form of government in any State making
anti-republican, then the United States have
made the form anti-republican, and have
thereby violated their guarantee; and the
only remedy in that place would beto retrace
their steps, and place tbe State back in the
situation of a State with a republican form of
government.

POLITICS AT A STANDSTILL.
As Christmas is npproaeliiug, it is very
likely that all politic i will be set aside until
after tbe opening of the Chambers, which
will probably take place about the middle of
January, 1867:
The Court will return from Compiegnet
about tbe latter end of this month.
All fears respecting His 3Iajesty's health
are allayed, and the Emperor is to be seen
daily walking through tlie town of Coin-
piegne.
THE MILITARY COMMISSTOX.
Tim Military Reform Commission is still
sitting, but nothing conclusive has, as yet,
been decided upon; we shall, however, an n
few days, know wliothcr we are all to elidn!
der arms like the Prussians. 3Iarshal Ran-
don, 31inister of War, a few days ago hon
ored the officers of the Chasseurs of frft
Guard, by dining at their mess. Colonel De
Gendiccourt proposed the Emperor’s health,
which was mostttaeartily received.
A CONSTITUTION FOR TnE EGYPTIANS.
The Viceroy ot Egypt has jost opened the
Council of National Representation of that
country. As this is ooc of tbe most remark
able events of the month, I give you a re
sume of the address. Tlie Viceroy said:
‘ When my grandfather commenced his glq-
rious reign, he found the country a prey to
agitation caused by permanent disorder.—
Tuat great man, protected by Divine Provi
dence. succeeded in laying the foundation of
the prosperity of the State. My father as
sisted in that great work of regeneration,
which, in fact, consisted of creating a new
order of things in harmony with tbe exigen
cies of modem society. 3Iy anxiety for
material advancement has led me to create a
Representative Council, whose mission will
bc to discuss the important subjects belong
ing altogether to the internal affairs of the
country. Questions of the greatest utility to
Egypt, will be discussed by members chosen
by the nation, and its sittings,Jlidd at Cairo,
will last for two months.”
TUB ROMAN QUESTION.
Still occupies the Paris papers. The “ Lib
erie,” which is always managing other
people’s affairs, now proposes to settle the
Roman question by allowing His Holiness to
remain unmolested until his death, and then
for the Powers of Europe to definitely come
to a conclusion. It says;
Let there be no illusions; all attempts at
compromise between tbe Papacy and Italy
will he abortive. There is only one line of
conduct to pursue: after the departure of the
French troops, to postpone the solution of
the local question until the death of Pio
Nino, at which period it will have arrived at
opportune maturity, frequently, but in this
case, which is exceptional, it will bo really a
gain.
The Romans would act inconsiderately if
led astray by the hope of Rome being tlio
capital, they did not do everything in their
power to reassure Pius IX, and retain him
in the midst of them.
Not being tlie capital of Italy, and no
longer that of Catholicity, what would be
come of the Eternal City I Grass would grow
in tke streets, and Rome would be the Ver
sailles of Italy
THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION.
The labors of the Royal Italian Commis
sion for the Universal Exhibition of 1867,
are actively goiDg on in Florence.
The number of Italian exhibitors enrolled
is already 1,303.
The Provincial Council of Florence lias
decided upon sending to Paris at the public
expense twelve skilled workmen for each of
the following branches of industry: leather
dressing, varnishing, cotton spinning, silk
woolen, hemp, linen and cotton weaving,
glass, pottery and metalurag. Among the
products of Italian ingenuity and industry
which will find a place in the Universal Ex
hibition, may be mentioned machines worked
by compressed air, such as arc employed in
tunneling 3Iont Cenis, and which are the
invention of 3L Sommelier, engineer, and one
of the directors of that great undertaking.
The Commission has decided that mea
sures shall be taken to erect suitable appara
tus for the distribution of compressed air as
a motive force.
Side by side, with these important objects
must bc mentioned in a different class, the
productions more modest, but not less inter

J2p“ We stepped into Massenburg’s new
store yesterday, and found it really a magnifi
cent establishment, and feel assured that ev
erything in the drug and medicine line can
be furnished by. them. Country merchants
and all others who desire wines, liquors and
brandy; glass, paints and putty; fancy arti
cles, eolonge and brushes : garden seeds, oil
and any other article in the business of gen
eral druggists, can be suited at Massenburg’s.
We tnay mention, also, the presence ot the
representatives of the Macon press and several
others, at the uncorking of a-few bottles ot
champagne in the backroom.. The imbibi
tion seemed agreeable ali round.
If it be true, os reported, that Mar
shal Bazaine has issued an address to the
Mexicans in reply to Maximilian's procla
mation, it is about as good a thing as Maxi
milian could ask; for the Mexicans hate the
French so thoroughly that they are only pre
vented from rallying to his suppoat by their
presence and quasi support of his empire!
Let the French leave and Maximilian will
have little trouble, comparatively, in uniting
tlie discordant Mexican elemeuts in his sup
port—providing Uncle Sam. will abstain
from interference.
Dr. G. W. Ba;by. the well-known
newspaper c ^respondent, is writing letters
from Washington to the Memphis Bulletin
under his old signature of “Hermes.” In his
first letter he says: "It is pretty certain that
the clamor tor Mr. Davis’s blood will again
be raised, and shortly. Depend upon it, the
Radicals will not rest till they have ‘made
treason odious.’ They would execute Lee
also, if Grant’s parole were not in the way.
Look for a ‘rumpus in Tophet’as soon as
Surratt arrives from Egypt.”
Test Oath.—It is authentically stated
that the Supreme Court has agreed upon a
decision in test oath cases, and that Judge
Grier, who is assigned to deliver the decision
is now engaged in the preparation of the
opinion of the majority of the court. From
the fact that Judge Grier is selected to de
liver the opinion, it is inferred that the court
has decided that the test oath is unconstitu
tional, at least so far as it affects lawyers.
A Sasst Woman.—A Louisville correspon
dent of the St. Louis “Christian Advocate’
tells the following:
The worthy wife of one of the worthy
bishops of the Episcopal Church recently at
tending the Episcopal convocation in this
city, is responsible tor the following incident,
whieh we learned from a very reliable source :
The good wife was accompanying the Epis
copal lord on one of the tours in the North
west. The bishop is prospecting for a place
to “plant the seed of the church," spending
a Sabbath in a village where the Episcopal
service had never been recited before. To
aid the bishop in “ the service,” and to im
press the wondering villagers with the beau
ties thereof, the wife, seated in the midst of
the congregation, responded in a clear, strong
voice, just when and where a devout church-
woman and bishop's wife should, to the
amazement of many, and the indignation of
at least one of the village matrons, who said
to her neighbors as they left tbe church door.
Did ever any body see such a tossy woman
as that preaclieFs wife. She sat there in the
church and satsed her husband all the time
ho was a readin’.”

Missing.—It is stated that the Govern

quently left Virginia, ne is now wanted to
they found thtin existing in Mexicb; and that
is, briefly, as follows: All the French troops
are still there, nor is there any signs of the
departure ot any part of them. They were
unable to fiad a republic, or a republican
government,, in Mexico. The empire under
Maximilian is firmly established, and is likely
to remain as the permanent government of
the country. It has, within, .tig last two
months, bsen subject toa severe ordeal, out
of which it has emerged stronger than be
fore. Tho troubles of tlie last two months
in Mexico,, have demonstrated the unbounded
attachment of all classes qt‘ the Mexican peo
ple to Moaimilian, and their unwillingness
either to part with him. or to change the
form of their present government. This is a
state of-facts exactly the opposite to what
the public have been led, l>v the Northern
newspapers,to believe exists in Mexico; aud
it will have great weight with Congress when
that body assembles again.
Your readers will have seen the statement
that Gen. Sherman was compelled to return
to New Orleans because the French officers
refused him a pass to visit .the interior of
the country. This is a gross misstatement.
On seeing the state of affairs, General 'Sher
man bad no desire even to land, much less to
visit the interior; and of course made no
application to do so. On the.other hand,
General Basaine sent to him, from Mexico, a
courteous invitation to visit that city, plac
ing ut his disposal a splendid regiment of
French cuirassiers, as an' escort* This invi
tation Gen. Sherman politely declined. The
invitation of course was not extended to Mr.
Campbell.
The return of Mr. Campbell to Washing
ton will create a prodigious sensation. There
are not wanting persons here, who do no^
hesitate to say that the whole thing ia a
clever politicql trick of Mr. Seward, designed
to open the eyes of the American people to
the real state of affairs as they exist in Mexi
co. and to the folly of our interfering to es
tablish in Mexico a form of'gbrernnient that
is distasteful to the Mexican people them
selves. It is by no means improbable that
this may be true. Certainly, nomore fayorafale
time could have been selected for the restor
ation of the Republic, if tlie Mexican people
desired a republic. Tbe country was convuls
ed to its centre, not only by internal trouble,
but by the critical condition of its foreign
affairs. AH the French troops, some 40,000
in number had been concentrated at Mexico
and \ era Cruz, preparatory, as it was under
stood, to speedy embarkation. The Emper
or Maximilian was suffering from severe ill
ness, almost unfitting him from executive du
ties, and had sought a respite from the cares
of state at Orizaba. His heart was torn with
grief at the critical condition of the health of
his beloved wife, and the uncertainty wheth
er he would even see her alive again. To
cap the climax of misfortunes, it was known
that the United States government had open
ly espoused the cause of Juarez, that Mr.
Campbell wns on his way to Mexico in a na
tional vessel, expecting to proceed at once
to the headquarters of Juarez, and that he
was accompanied by the Lieutenant-Gen
eral of the armies of the United States, and
that a large body of U. S. troops, under Stieri-
dnn, an officer blindly and bitterly opposed
to tiic empire, was close at hand on the Rio
Grande.
Under these circumstances, the idea of ab
dication presented itself to tbe mind of the
Emperor. Under the circumstances, it would
not have been strange if be had abdicated.
Under these circumstances too, it wns con
sidered certain here, that Juarez and his party
would make some movement, demonstrating
their strength and at the attachment of the
people to a republican form of government.
But neither of these events have taken place.
Maximilian, after calmly considering the
situation, has concluded to remain, and to
stand by the resolution which he announced
a year ago, to sacrifice his life to secure the
perpetuity of the empire. Unquestionably,
the noble and patriotic conduct of the Mexi
can people themselves has had great weight
in moulding hia decision. The most pressing
want of the government was want of funds.
The wealthy clergy have given him $25,000,-
000, and the merchants $10,000,000, and these
sums merely as earnest ot what he may ex
pect in future. Tlie only copy in English of
Maximilian^ proclamation, that has reached
me, isvery badly translated, but still it may
interest y our readers.

say, was promptly discountenanced, and made
to shrink back to her hiding place of dark

an early part of tlie session, and creating con
siderable discussion a few weeks after, very
properly were indefinitely postponed—not
from want of respect lor, or sympathy with
Mr. Davis, but because their agitation by the
South Carolina Legislature, at this time,
could lead to no good result. A city paper
