Tho Presidont having doolded not to mako it an affair of Btate, and thoroby limited the number of in- vitations, the otiquotte of Washington socisty lns recolved & sore affront, Tho tuft- hunters and sight-scors are in o bigh stato of dndgeon, nnd nro not elow in oxprossing their minds about It. * Already thgy bogin to comment upon the dogenoracy and enobbery of Amorican glrle in running aftor distinguishod forcignors in ordor to bettor thelr sooial position, and, if tho commonts do not assumo any worso phaso than this, it will bo fortunate, for Washe ington socioty, like other metropolitan society: when riled up to tho bottom, is apt to do vory absurd, oxtravagent, and sometimes maliclous things. In this ¢ase o 800 no reason for any commont of any sort. In tho flrst place, wo pro- sumo Miss Nollio Grant bod tho right to marry, In tho socond place, she had tho right to mer- ry whom gpha pleased, and not oven the Prosldontial veto could forbid her. In the third place, ovorything ecems to show that sho has .made n vory prudent and desirable match, both bocoming to & sonsiblo young lady and tho danghtor of a Ropublican Presidont. Although it tho.daughtor of -a Republican Presidont shouid sao fit to marry a preipatetio tin-peddler, wa do not sco that any ono has causo to be of- fonded, provided the poddlor is an honest, God- foaring man, who doos not swindlo housewives in tho quality of his wares, But tho brido- groom in this caso s ‘& young ' gon- tloman of. good ' family and respect- able character, .ond with & suficiont compoetonce to maintain his wife. Ho s plain, untitlod Ar. Sartoris, however, and, has no di- ‘rect conncction with English aristocracy. He is tho grandson of & wealthy residont of Beoaux and Paris, whose family was of . Grook origin. Hia fathor, Mr. Edward Sartorls, was oducated at .Oambridgo, and thirty yoars ago marriod Adelalde Eomble, the younger slster of the famous actross, Fanuy Kemble. If thoro {8 any furiher lustory of tho familyit is un- koown, It is not long since the London Times pronounced Miss Grant tho first young lady in Amorica. Xt 18 not probable the London Times would pronounco MMr. Bartoris the firat young gontleman in England. It may indeed bo quite possiblo that neithor tho London Times nor the titled nobility of England over hoard of Mr. Algornon Charles Frederick Barforis, of ‘Waro-Ash-Houso, Pitehficld Hants, and will ox- press o groat dosl of surprise whon thoy learn that the first young lady of America has dono what the first young lady of England would novor hiave done under any eireumstances No charge of snobbery, thorofore, can lio sgainst Mre. Bartorie, Bho is noither the Princess of Bartoris, nor. the Duchoss of Sartorls, nor yet Lady BSartoris, nor s thero any possibility that a coronet may grace hor protty brow, however worthy it may bo to woar ono. As far as human vision can seo, eho has mado- o good cholco. Bho has married tho' msn of bLor own choico, and the Prosidont, like a ' prudent and scnsible father, hos givon - his pormission, Tho ‘President \hae ncquitted himself like .s. man of sonso, and his daughter like s girl of sonse, and ahy mah or woman in Washington socioty who oan discover any snobbory in this, is by na~ turo tho most eseentinl and arrant of snoba. Tho second point of complaint, namely, that tho Presidont has deolined to mako this marriage an affair of Btate, is oven sillicr and more sbsurd than tho firsh. I tho Prosident, hLis wifo, . and his daughtor dosired the wedding to bo & private affair in-" stoad of a public ovent, and o show for tho wmultitude, it was olearly within their privilege to 80 arrango it, and that ends the mattor, Thore is no appeal from it, andno ground of com- plalot, Itis tho plain right of Mr. Grant and bhis family as it is of Alr. Smith and his family. Thoro is uo\mum reason why tho Prosidont should maokelhis daughter's marringo & State affair than that ho should make his overy-dsy dinner, or his daily smoke, or his puttingona clonn shirt, State affairs. Ho not only had the right to deoline making it a State affair, bnt ho was o very sonsiblo man to exerclso this right ; and it is safo to eay thet nono but snobs will suffer mnch social irmtation in consoquonca. “Tho’ Aniorloan poople” in_genoral will wish tho nappy . brido” and bridegroom. long lifo. anil abundant prosperity, and oven the bitterost ene- mies of the Preeident- will join his friends in mutal congratulntion upon tho|auspiclous nveuq.

A largo area of the Btato of - Louisiana has been dosolatod by flood, Ifun- dreds of lives wero lost ; wholo familics were car- ried away with thelr habitations by tho resiatless | torrent. Evory living animal that might have furnishod food to the survivors has beon do- stroyed. LEvery article of vegetation fit for hu- man food has been swept away. Though the wection of the country thus visited is of iteelt a garden, the gardon hna boon dovastated, and-is now ‘a8 bare of frult as if it wore n dosert, Everything in the shupe of food which was on hand in private dwellings and storos has boon destroyed.

Ho is solicitous for the poaco of Europe, and wants the rest of England to join bim in preserving it. Ho presided, somo timo 8g0, at a meoting held in London to sympa- thize with Princo Bismarck In his policy towards tho Catholio Church. Tho Eiglisk pross was slmoat unanimous in ridiculing that meoting ‘a8 ropresonting Eoglish opinion or English sym- pathy. The Gorman Emporor, howover, roward- od him by sonding him a lottor, and Lord John feols encouraged to earn another,—parhaps something moro valuable or more honorablo than o pleco of paper with the Imporial autograph, A short t{mo s1nco he rose 1n the House of Lords and in‘very indistinct tones moved for coplos of any correspondenco rolating to the mnin- tenanco of the penco of Europe with the QGovornmonts of the Emperor of Germany, tho Emporor of Austria, the Emporor of Russia, and tho Frouch Republic. In cortaln eventu- elitlos, Mr.- Russoll wished to know what the English Government was going todo. Whon Bismarck demanded and obtained an increase in tho stonding army of Germany, he had reagon for demnnding it. Tho Fronch woro panting for rovenge. In caso the two Powors shonld ongago in war, what was England going todo? He was not quito cortnln whothor the symptoms of ngitation and hostility at prosont obsorvable woro the ewell preceding or the swell following tho storm. ‘He foarad, however, that the com- motion on the soa of Europoan polities was an onien of a coming tompest which would tbroaton the peace of Europe. To pro- servo that pence, ho was of opinion that England should ally iteolf to Gormany; that is, follow his own oxample, Russoll, England, and Gor~ many, allled in the onuso of peaco, he was vory cloar that no Power would vonturo to disturb it, Tho Earl of Derby, in reply, said he could not dony that thore wero some grounds for aoxioty about the penco of Europe, considering tho more remote ovents,—meaning, wo supposo, tha Franco-Prusslan war, eto.

Good faith domanded that the na- tion's plodges should bo kept. This would seom to show that if Germany engages in n war with France, it will not recolve much comfort from England. Russoll's proposition, that England should become tho ally of France in such a con- tingenoy, in tho intoreats of peacs, is simply ab- | 'surd. Not-to proservo tho posco, but to help Gormany to fight France, would sny such treaty bemadé; and fhat is all thnt Russoll gontoin- plated whon he proposed it. - ., 5 5 France, no doubt, thirsts for revenge; but, for tho presont at least, thoro- is little danger that-sho will bo tho aggressor. Tho factis, that Gormnny Is auxious for s fight with France bo: foro eho can fully reouporate.
