A l'otighkojisie letter lo-day dis-tissc-s the
question of a Bpeda] election to Ji 11 tlie vacaney
causod hy Senator Deane's dcath in the DuUhess
rutnani-Colnnil'iii Dlat-it-t, and th?* inU-re-iting
jiossibil.y that. GhnrtrBOff Hill may neglect his
piain duiy in tho piemises. If he thongbt HmM
was any chance 4>1 < .e.-ting a Dennxiatic .-en;i
tor, the intenscly partisan Governor would not
he_.Ha.e a monient aoout calling a special elec?
tion. Will he have the tenlerity to do so when
the tMmmmtm are all in favor of Kepulilican suc
oeM? Of course the Republican-. cannot wiu
without a strong candidate and ha_rd work, but
we think they can be truated 011 both pfliats,
Tho indignation felt at tho wicked ma_hinatioi_.
af the Demoerats to deprive Mr. Deane of his
aoat furnishes a powerful campaign argument
against any candidate they may put up.

now, acoording to tho Washington dispatch m
fem?d to, it is probable that agiwrnents under

been made as to all the British West In<iu

AT TIIE I'ARTIXG OF THE WAYS.
" What will he do with it?'' is the old question
always asketl when on** unexpectedly coines into
p-oix-riy and power. To their own ainazeaient
Demoerats have i-eceived, as a gift from lazy Ke
publican votem and tho cranks of the Iarmers'
Alliance, an overwhelming majority in the House
ol _.cpi*osentativcs, and now tho fBM-fcn is what
they will do with it. About that question tho
Demoerats themselves are exceedingly anxious,
and advice enough is showered ivpon them to con
fnse even a well-balance- intellect.
" Let the tariff alone, beeause you can accom
pllsh nothing, and fruitless agitation will disgust
the country. Muzzle the fanatics and tho cranka
who want to revolutionize the currency, foi* a^
iinancial panic will not help you in tho election
next year. Attend to business tsoberly, sensibly,
practically, with not too much expenditure of
time in parlisanship, and tho country will then
havo less fear of another Demoeratic Adminis
tratibn. Thus advise some level-headed persuns,
of whom "Tho New-York Herald" may be taken
as an illustiation. They do not appear as yet to
inHuence a majority in the House.
" Waste no timo on tho tariff, but settlc the
silver question by giviDg the West free coinage,
as Governor Hill reooinniends, and then show up
the billion Congre**, and this Adininistration.
Cut off expenses rigorously, make the seaaion
*hort, (exposo all sorts of misconduct." This is in
substance the advice givon by men who realize
that tho tariff ksue will not help the Demo?
eratic party, and fear that the silver question
may, unless put out of the way by some new
de viee, but who imagino that the country can be
diverted from the real issues of Natioual policy
l.y raising a disturbance abont persons in tho
Pensions liuieau, the Census Eureau, and various
other branches of the public ?ervico. This ap
pears to be in generai the policy urged by Tam?
many and its oigans and .pokesmen. lt is easier
to talk of settling the silver question than to
settle it. As for investigation, very good; let
the light shine. lt may be remeinbered tbat
when Mr. Springers committee investigated" the
electoral fraud*' in 1877, it found a groat deal
more than it wanted; and when Mr. Kosecrans
took off tho roof of the Treasury, the supposed
discrepancy of two cents in thirty years did not
help him much.
" Appeal to tho people on the one issue whieh
has given success, framo a new tariff and send
it to the Senate, kill off silver agitation. cea*e to
I'Oly upon small p.rsonal scandals, and mako a
diiecfc issue on a great question of Natioual
policy.*' This is tho demand, lather than the
fldriM, of tho Cleveland contingent, who declare
that unless it is lollowed a great army of voteis
will bo lost. The young men of Now-England,
who imagine that they are latge enough and
wise enough to leaven the whole Demoeratic
party and give it life, the tariff reformers of
other States, who have insisted that they and
their especial issues have gained for tho Demo?
eratic party all that it has gained, hold it trcason
to the party to propose any other course. " Cleve?
land ar.d the tariff, or nothing," is their motto.
It is needless to say that this policy would suit
Kepublicans. Mr. Cleveland and his issue were
beaten three years age, and are not 6tionger
to-day.
A much-advised Demoeratic I.eprcsentative
perceives that he cannot BAmmXmi rigid economy
in appropiiations and please the people at home
who havo tho power to return him?or soinebody
else. Ho perceives that investigations whieh
would drag prominent Demoerats into unpleas
ant notice. or else would di_gracefully fail, would
nol help his party. He perceives that any " ?et
tlemenf' of the silver question whieh would
make trouble and turn business men against his
party had better be deferreil, to say the least.
Ho peireives that any evasion of the ______ ques?
tion is ceitain to cost the party a lio-st of voters.
Hut he also perceives that any evasion of the sil?
ver question will make Demoeratic success im
possible in Western and doubtful in some South
orn States. No wonder his mind is all torn up
and reseiublcs Hroadway for two montliti before
an election.____________________
!______ a
DICTATOR AXD COXGRESb.
Mail advicos from Kio de Janeiro have fur
nishod an intelligible account of tho circum
stanees iindc. whicb the militar_' dictatorship was
e*'tablished. From tlio date of the adoption of
ihe Constitution there had been signs of an
irreconcilable oonliict between tho President and
the legislatoii.. Tho euemic-. of t.eneial da
Eonseca declared in the spring that, he would
never have been elected by the National Assein
bly if military intervention in his favor had not
been dreaded. An attack upon a newspaper
uflice whieh was led by his nephew caused much
ill-feeling. and in Angmt a Deputy made a pub?
lic charge that ho had been singled out for
prosoription, and chalkngod the (Jovernment to
______ him. Charges and countercliarges lespect
[flf tho nii.si)iaiiag<nient of the Pank of the Ke
public were followed by denunciation of tho
Government for .tandalou* levelations TBBjBmV
laj ,,,ini],t p-opoMll to the Patilista Company
tot the payment of ..750,000 for isecuring a
Miuistviial signatnre to the oflicial puichase of a
niiway. The passage of two measuies over the
PNB-dflfli'fl v?-to speedily involved tt onstitu
tional crisit. and the eMablishment faf military
dictatorship.
The lirst of these measuies was an art de
elaring the oftico of Minister of State to be in
conipatibie with other publio functioiks. This
was a blow ainicd at seveial obnoxious Ministers
aud {K-rsoual ailhereuts ol the Piesident. He
vetood it on the ground that it involved inter
IMMM witb his constittitional right to ciioos6
his own adviseis. When the vcto was con.*.id
eied in the Senate tln-ro was one vote short of
the majority of two-thiids required for i*n*-*-iiii4
tho measure. As the vote was H to 15, it waa
only ne_es<ary to dlsqualify one meaiter of the
niinority in order to scciire the pa*)sagp of the
Act. As one of the Senators was the (Jovernor
of Alagoas, the Pn-sident's bi other, his votx; HM
arbitiaiily thrown out on the ground that he was
a double-ofliccl;iald<T and not entitlcl to pass
judgment BBBB it. The enactment of a measuio
dclining tl.e CfftMl br whieh the Pr.'sideirt was
Jia.le lo imjioaihmeii'. was vetf.ed on Oct.al.er
Ifl on constitutional grounds. Tho Prenident
ai'gued with great foroe that the measuie ?ub
jectetl him to tho jurisdiction of dM common
courts, whereas ho was entitled under tlie Con?
stitution to judgment by tho Supieme Ptd-ffll
Coiincil on criminal i harges and by tbe Sonate
for political n-*|x nsibility. Tbe pass.ige of thi*.
bill over tho veto on November 2 precipitated
the <_rL-.L_. U waa nocessary aither for Congresa
or tho i'remdent to ykdd. Tho l'resident de
cirle,! to dissolve Congress and t<> appea! to tho

for the _?s?oration of the monaiohy. There were

excitement. OnfUM WBi BO. allowed to mo-.,
tho press was siibjocted to llfBPBM OBBB-B-fc-P
and the garrison maintnincd pubiie order. If
the Province.s had remained apaihotic witnesses
of military usurpation in tho capital, tlie dic
tatot~hip would havo been tolerat.-d a_ a necos
sary evil. Whon it became evidont that tho
aoldiers would have serious fijrhtinj? before th. m
in Kio Grande do Sul their Btdtt iriaxed. Tho
ovorthrow of the dictatoi-ship was only a matter
of time.
Tho detail- of this ctotis-tittitional conilict re

friinu.it speedily B-BflMB_ a hostilo attitudo

for a rostoration of their influence. They natu

by the rresidont was pioposcd by Kny Harbusa,
.iinister-of PJBBBfD iii tho l'rovi .onal Govern?
ment, and two of his associatos in the revoln?
tionary Junta joined him in voting for tho iinW
passage of the Impeachment bill. Tho Opposi
tion party whieh eontrolled Congress was ma.le
up of diverse elementa. Hostility to the Presi
dent was the eminion bond, and it involved an
HMBIMUB-Mflll attempt, OB his part bO eslablish

in this country holding similar opinions. These
two incidents einphasize a faet not geneiuily
oulerstootl, namely, that Lnglish 1 'luto-tanti. m
has lefr Ameriean rr.t.'stantiMii fir behind in
its attempt to adjuKt itsolf to tho needs of mod?
ern life. u We have," says Dr. Conder, one of
the most distinguished of Lnglisb C.mgrega; mi
alisl.-, "lost otthodoxy, but havo gained Chiist.
The old theology did not |x_i.sh under tl.e ;ts
sault of a rival system ; it did BO. quail lieforo
a logic nmre rigoioiis than its own. It expirod
because uu atmo-phero had been eieated in whieh
it eoiild not breathe." >iini!arly Pnifessor
Mtmiii, another distin_uished Knplish Congivga
tionalist, describta the results of this io\olu
tionary reaction against dogma: "Scarcely 1?
a px-o-ing refetence now made to the divine sover
cignty; the divino decrees and predcstination
ha\e BBBB cxorcised ; election haa been nD-ta
moirhoscd. ln dealing with man, our Btarting

c.nflictB, sorrows, misfortunes, and assert either
his freedom or blamcle-sncss for tho lack there
of. On the question of man's future destiny
vc are in the main divided between Univcrsal
ism, tho doctrine of life in Christ, the Larger
.lope, and various phases of a non-committal
!>,.>:ti<.n-tho sternei- view/i of a geneiation ago
MMi to have well-nigh disappearod."
Now. what these men say of English Congre
gati4.nalism is true in a measure of the whole
of Hritish Protestantism, including the Angli
CM Church. Mr. Spurgeon's denuncia
ti?n of the liberal diift in tho Hap
ti-r chu.ch"* as the "down grado in
theology"' will be recalled by all, and becomes
cs| <ciaily signilicaut when it Ls reuiembeied that
Mr. Spurgeon in almost the only conspicuous
Kngli.-h Paptist who adhercs to the old views.
The lib.-raHsm of English Methodlsts has already
been Iflf-Hfl-i to. Broad Churchism in the Eng?
lish Kstablishment is rapidly growing in power
and influence. and the younger wing of tho High
Church party, represented by tho authow of
"Lux Mundi," is busily engaged in minimizing
dogmas that are unacceptable to the conscious
BMi (,f the age. When we turn to tho gioat
Presbytorian biauch of Hritish Protestantisni, we
tin-i the revolution in thought and belief equally
-tartling. In all its divisions it has so radically
ihangcd its theology that, as Dr. Hradford re?
cently said. such a coiitroversy as that over Pro
feaaoc Briggs would bo laughed off the stage in
(Jreat Hritain.
Now, why is it that while Hritish Protwiant
isni is thus moving forward, or backward, if you
will-at any rate, ic i.s moviiig-American Pr.rtest
aniism is virtually standing still intcllcctually?
Thero are many answew to this question. Eor
OM thing, Eflropa is the" eentre and source of all
original religious speculation, and so we get
fiesh religious ideas in this country only after
thev have beoomo cojnmonplaces there. Then
again, as Dr. Mungc-r well pointe out, England
has revised its theology becauso its social prob
lems havo made such a revlsioii liecessary.
American _-o?iul problems have not jet reached
a s.ngo whero tho good offices of religioii seeni
necessaiy. And 80 our pieachers go on pieach
ing the old theology, whieh is almost wholly
illfllWMil with the personal salvation of the in
dividual aud his happinetw in the world to come.
Tho English preachers say mmh less about tho
.livinity of Christ than about His humanity, be?
causo in England, with its congested population
and its terrible oontrauts between wealth and
|k.\(*i-ty. they neetl a Christ who ll human. The?
ology, howeV4*r true speculatively, is utterly un?
able to c-olvo the so( ioTogical problems whieh now
confront English Christianity.
Hut "orthodox". American Pm-cstants must
not supposo that this state of affairs will con?
tinue iudeflnitely. Tho liberal diift has already
gained a good headway in this country, and be?
fore many yeam tho revolutionary reaction
against dogma will bo quite as marked among
us as it ii to-day in Great Hritain.

no alarm, aud the reiluction of rates by tlie

aa evidem*e tbat fears of trouble from Kussia, or
Berlin, mr Kouth 'America no longer dLsturb.
Clearly foreign countries have to solve a dtfflcult
problem before tbey can pay for the enormous
quantities of grain and cotton they require with?
out IJnancial trouble. But so far trouble doe?
not appear, though imports of merchandiae at
New-York for two weeks have been 0 per cent
less than last year, and mcairwhile tlie increase
in exports for two weeks has beeji 41 per cent.
But the excess of exports over importe last De?

stnnd so much, there is no tclling how much more
it may stand without serioua consequences.
