Tho milder papers aro disposed to accept the proposition sgid to have emanated from Lord BracoNsnzL, thot *the Powers would drop the idea of in. tornational control over the Christion prov. inces demanded by the Conforonce, if the Bultan, in return, were to pledge himself to the Powers to givo to the throe provinees local and administrative autonomy, enabling tho population to control the provincial authorities, aud providing conrts of arbitra. tlon in coso of differonco.” A fow of thom aro belligerent and savage in their declarn- tions, among them tho Morning Post, which BOyA: If Russla hae spoken faleely to usto our faco— and sho has; i1 Ruasla has bronght not prosperity into a mtserable fulgarla Lut roin and fratricidal hate into a peaceful and prosperous Bulgara—and ‘she han dono this; If Nusala has ogulnat her now not only tho interests of England but the con- ecience of humanity, that very * humanitarlan- fam ** which was hor cloaks then we sny without hoaitation the tmo fs gone for sltting sthll, , , .

Thoe safer likely to net with the Republicans ns with the Democrats. At the very Lest, then, tho Rtepublicans can count only 38 votes, including that of Davis, ngainst 83 Democrats ; thero is n Republiean - majority of fhreo under theso circumstancer, but whon Davis ncts with the Democrats n bare majority of one. To make matters atill moro precarions, threo of the Republican Benators are absent protty much all the time, viz.t Messrs, Brare, Fenny, and Smanoy, In the case of Brarsxand Ferny, tho ab. senco is oxplained on account of sicknoss, but tho absence of Sonator SmiroN Is not ncconntod for eatisfactorily, With threo Republicans absent, the Domocrats have n tio with the Republicans, even if Boorm and Davis net with tho Republicans, and n mafority of ono if Davis ncts with the Demo. crats, It may bo readily comprohended, thereforo, that the Domocrats wero tompted to forco n vole on the South Caroling seat, If BurLes could be seated, ft is possi- blo that Srorrorp and Evsrms would also got the Louisinnn seats. Such o result would givo tho Democrats 39.votes with Davis, or a majority of one, aud 38 votes without Davis, or a te, in which case tho Vice-President (Ropublican) would have the deciding voto in n strict party division. Bat it will not be an easy matter for tho Democrats to force a volo on the Senato during tho absenco of - Republican Senators, ‘The rules of the Senate nro sunply those of courtesy. Seonator TrumrMan’s motion to tako up the”South Carolinn caso was Inid over under n single objoction. When taken up ogain, it will be open to unlimited debate. To give this caso n procedence over other business, the Democrats will virtunlly oxclude the Sil- vor bill, tho Resumption-Ropenl bill, tho Paris Exhibition bill, and tho Deficiency bill from tho present session, and it {s doubtful whether they will care to nssuma tho respon. sibility of doing this, The Itopublicans will bo justified in registing n vote on the con- testod seats by stretching out the debatu as long ns the Demoernts seek to tako -advan- {nge of tho absence of Republican Senators, and tus will place tho responsibility upon the Democrats of delaying tho legislative business in which tho country is most inter- ested. Whether or not the Democrats will persist in their offort to compel & voto at the presout session will probably depond upon their cstimate of chances for success, Thero has for some thno been a rumor that ParrEnsoN, Republican Benator from Sonth Carolinn, will voto to seat BUTLER a8 n 1neans for mnking bis poace with the South Carolina authoritics, who Lave had ParTenson indicted for bribery, Tho fact that Senator Cunisriancy, of Mich- igan, bas indicated a purposo to be govorned in the contested election cnsos by tho evi- donce s it shall be prosented to him (a sim. plo and honeat declaration i itsolf) has been construed to mean that ko will likely vate with the Democrats; and Senator Coxoven hioa likowiso boon accredited with a disposi- tion to vote for Burrzn. If tho Democraty are persuaded that they can rely npou theso votes, ns well as that of Davis, of Ilinois, they will probably nunke a desperate cffort to bring the contested clection cases to n con~ clusion evon at o aacrifico of thogeneral busi- noss of tho country. It will not bo a very patriotie effort, but it will bo charnctoriatic- ally Domocratic. —— INTERNATIORAL VALUE OF SILVER, 'The Benato Comuitteo on Finance has ndd- od o seotion to tho bIll remonotizing silver, which section provides that a Cowmission sball bo appoiuted to confer with like Oom- misslons appointed by other nations, with a view of establishing an uniform standard by which the proportions of the silver and tho gold coinngo shall bo regulated.
