The results of this election are so remarkable, so unique, €o sharply defined and decisive, that they cannot be measured by the ordinary stand- ard of the ups and downs of our political par- ties. Wo have here the first test on a large scale of Southern negro suffrage under the new dispensation, and in regard to Jaw and order the experiment has proved a most gratifying success, The canvass of many weeks in Tennessee had been marked by such scenes of party vio- lence, collisions and bloodshed, that universal riots and confusion were apprehended on elec- tion day. No doubt, in the preservation of the public peace, much is due to the military pre- cautions of General Grant, General Thomas and the local authorities ; but much also is due to the quiet and orderly deportment of the blacks themselves, marching for the first time to the ballot box under the ‘new law of equal rights. It was feared that from their ignorance and excitable nature they would run into all sorts of excesses at the polls, under the slight- est provocations from the opposing party of whites ; but the results show that from the training of these Southern blacks as slaves they can be readily moulded as freemen to the discipline of responsible, law-abiding citizens, in the exercise of their highest duties. This Tennessee election, then, has given a moral elevation to the Southern blacks, in reference to their right of suffrage, which removes all apprehensions concerning them. We see that they understand not only their rights but their duties as citizens, and that they can mingle harmoniously with the whites at the balloi-box under the fiercest party excitements. We see, in the next place, that they have voted almost en masse for Brownlow and the Brown- low ticket. They have done so because this ticket represented Congres:, and because Con- greas, as they understand it, has taken the place of “the good man, Mr. Lincoln,” as the champion of the black man’s rights. Brownlow was nothing to these blacks except as the representative of Lincoln and Congress, and as the enemy of President Jonson, the Moses left behind in the wilderness. The same com- prehensive ideas which thus rallied the blacks of Tennessee to the radical or republican ticket will concentrate them around the same stand- ard in all the other Southern States.

They will be representatives of their own section and of their own local interests; and here will begin a new formation of political parties, We have not heard of a single black candi- date elected or nominated for any office in this Tennessee election. Here, too, is a fact which speaks well for the {intelligence and sagacity of the blacks, holding as they did the balance of powe this contest. They are, it thus ap- pears, in no hurry to push their claims for office until they establish their rights as citl- zens to the satisfaction of their white neighbors. They are ready to yield something for the present to the Southern prejudices of many generations; and from this conciliatory spirit we look for the best results to both races of the South. We think, too, from this successful experiment of negro suffrage in Tennessee, that we need no longer besitate in giving the ballot to the Indians and Chinese where they may be regularly established in the communi- when the sovereign authority of States over the several States is be- be clearly understood by men of all sections, parties and racea, Tho Privy Council of the Dominion of Canada held « short session at Ottawa yesterday, during which it was ocided to writs of election to-day, Parhamont will convene carly in September.

With his election the whole business of Southern restoration will be orily settled; and then will begin all | over the country a new organization of parties on the great financial questions of the day, and | a new agitation which will probably last for y years, Such are*the reflections and gpeequences suggested from this significant nd momontods Tennessee election, the most rowarkable ig our paliieal history. The Now War Clond ta Europe, The French and German journals have com- menced to bandy words on the subject of the political relations existing betwegn the two countries, and to discuss the probable intentions of Napoleon and King William for war or peace in a very off-handed manner, and language by No means courteous—soarcely, indeed, polite. From Berlin to Paris, and from Paris to Berlin, in reply, the newspapor writers appear to be engaged in throwing dirt at each other in the name of the two nations, and thus assist in cbarging more completely with explosive ma- terials the war cloud which is gathering over the Continent. Our cable despatches and special corre- spondence during the past three weeks have shown pretty clearly that Napoleon is making preparations for war; purchasing cavalry horses ona large soale, driving his military workshops night and day, and hastening on the work on his unfinished tron-clads with great activity. The German Boursea became excited and the London ‘Change distrustful. This state of affaira engaged the attention of the Prussian official organs in Borlin, and it was quickly intimated that the French Emperor was likely to spring a war on Germany. The Paris journals denied the inference and claimed the most peaceful intentions for hia Majesty. Next camo the North Schleswig question, or question of guarantees for the German subjects of the King of Denmark, and the advice to Napoleon to see to the enforcemont of the treaty of Prague. There is no doubt that the French Emperor addressed a note to the King of Prussia on both. This fact was at once taken hold of by the German writers, who called on the King to “repel French in- trusion in German polities.” The Paris Moni- teur, which speaks for the Emperor, replied by a posilive denial that any French note had been written or sent to Berlin, Germany was prompt in refutation; for the leading organs of the Prussian Cabinet a! once reiterated that Napoleon did address a note to the govern- ment on the subject of North Schleswig, but that King William replied iho “deflant tone,” and henoe the “false assertion” of the Paris Moniteur. Lord Stanley’s statement to Parlia- ment corroborated the accuracy of the in- formation of the Prussian journals; for the English Foreign Secretary said that the French Emperor had forwarded a note to the King of Prussia, but that it would be “improper to disclose its contents.” In such unpleasant form do we reesive evi- dence of the continuod existence of that national ill-will between tho Germans aud the French which may be said to be heredifary. The newspaper writera keep the subject before the peoples by inflammatory words conveyed in coarse language ; but this is scarcely necea- sary; for the peoples are ready and anxious to fight whenever the word is given. That it will be given soon we have little doubt, and then France and Germany will engage in a struggle almost without parallel in its in‘ensity and not equalled in fury during the wars waged by Germany against the French republicans io 1793-94, or by Germany and her allies against the French empire in 1812, The issue is mo- mentous—no less than a complete and radical change in the face of Europo—and it cannot be averted. ° Young Germany contains within her bosom some few elements of reactionary discontent; but her people hate the French, and will unite to fight them. The tendency of the German mind is healthfully republican, and the edu- cated classes, or Pan Germanists, support Bis- marck solely on account of the democratic tendencies of his legisiation. In the material appliances of war Germany is powerful, in the patriotism of her people confident, and in the great military adjuncts of railroads and tele- graphs she has been ahead of France for some time, What France is in war and what she has accomplished in the field we know already. By war, and war alone, will the national pre- judices of the French and Germans be allayed and the territorial boundaries and future status of each nation defined. The other Powers of Europe will, from in- terest or fear, stand aside and look on. England will not, perhaps cannot, in view of the home situation, interfere. LIialy has quite enough to do in seeking to keep a few florins in her ceasury and hold tho balance between Gari- baldi and the Pope; the king of Holland will waver but his people will join Germany; Aus- tria has been faithless to Germany and France; and Russia, delighted with the din of battle, will leave both parties to fight on until she has marched to Constantinople. Such are the elements and issues wrapped up in the new and dark war cloud now settilng over Europe, the bursting of which will pro- duce effects as astonishing, and perhaps as decisive towards France, as any of those that resulted from the sudden appearance of the Prussian army at Waterloo. What tho Democrats Should Do. The democrats are very actively discussing the next election for Mayor, some favoring Wood as a candidate, some Hoffman and some still other distinguished supporters of their pecullar principles. But in view of the situa- tion at the South and all over the country, it would be much better for these politicians to get up an immense funeral, hire all the carriages in the city, beat the Bill Poole demonstration all to pieces, and bury the honest, well-inten- tioned democratic party solemnly and forever, in Greenwood or wherevor else they can find a grave. These Southern olections consign it absolutely to past ages. Advice to Juarez. After fifty years of civil war Mexico is now comparatively at peace. The republic is in your hands. Take advantage of the oppor- tanity. Centralize your government. Crush those absurd State rights which the Governors of the different “free and sovereign States” claim to hold. Make every military com- mander and every State Governor directly responsible to the central authority. Suppress brigandage and encourage industry, To do this you must have roads, telegraphs, railways and uninterrupted communication. See that your Legislature bestirs itself in this matter. Amorica is not going to be cajoled by France, England or any other Power, into an interven- tion in your affairs, cithor in the guise of a protectorate or in any other shape. The Moni- teur arges the Uuited States to interfere, hoping thus to make the Washington government responsible, as administrator to the effects of Mexico, for the French indemnity. But we are not disposed to become Louis Napoleon’s catepaw just ab prosoat, Tho jatorveuing masters. Blacks and whites are alike inter- ested in the crops of their own section, where, ever since the close of ths war, 80 many planta- tions have been worked on shares. Tho hum- ble fleld hand and the strutting colored Con- greasman will both, with their friend the planter, go in for removing the tax on cotton. And we must not be surprised if we behold ere long a wonderful series of dissolving views, in which the old political parties, the republi- can party as well as the ghost of the dem- ocratic party, shall successively disappear, making room for the grand national party of the future. The Political Situation—Our Financial and election shows not only the present and future. | political situation of the country, but points out to us as well our financial and indastrial prospects and the course we ehould pursue with regard to them. ‘Taking it for granted motive to keep the South unrepresented in Congress—that, in fact, the republican party will have the strongest motive to strengthen itself by the prompt admission of allios from the South—we may expect the full restoration of that section as soon as the States shall have passed through the form of reconstruction pre- scribed by Congress. Titis will be accom- plished, probably, next winter or by the spring, just as the Presidential campaign will be opened in earnest. Wo may confidently look forward, then, to a thorough settlemont election of General Grant the November fol- war and the abnormal political state of things which results from it.

Ho is still ao deeply incensod against Congreas for thwarting his policy that he seems more determined than ever to fight it out on the samo old line. The radical organs are gratified at witnessing his obstinacy, and are repeating our own question, “ Why not dismiss all five of the district commanders?” But they have purposes of their own in urging him on to a course of action which might result isastrously enough for him. They know well, and he should remember, that pulling a brick out here and there never mends matters and is always liable to make the whole structure of circumstances topple and fall on ono’s head. Ho had better le: tho Reconstruction law alone, and “accept the situation.” He should be ‘warned by the reault of the election in Tennes- see, his own State, that the question of recon- struction is no longer a mere persenal issue botweon him and Congress. It has been driven far beyond that petty point by this memorable and significant election, There is now no doubt that the whole South will in due time be thor- oughly reconstructed according to the will of tho people as set forth in the Congresstonal programme, Nevertholess, by those who will take pains to reflect it can be clearly foresoen that when once the ten States of the five military districts shall have wheeled Into line again, and their re- presentatives, white or black as, the case may be, shall have taken their scats in Congress, the Southern members of Congress, whatever dif- fercnt shades of complexion and of political partisanship they may oxbi%it, will all act to- gether asa unit in behalf of their own local interests, They will soon vote quite independ- ently of either the defunct democratic party or the republican party, which is terribly ox- posed to the death and decomposition await- ing ali victorious parties that in the flush of triumph do not resist temptations to abuse their power. The emancipated blacks call them- selves Southerners as proudly as their former Industrial Prospects. Tho extraordinary result of the Tennessee that the republicans will carry tho rest of the Southern States, as they have carried Ton- nessee, and that thera will be no reason or of our sectional political troubles through the lowing. His election to the Presidency, follow- ing immediately after or at the same time with the restoration of the South, will close up the the present and old order of things and the beginning of a new political era on otler issues. The financial and industrial interests of the country will then loom up and overshadow all other questions. During the interval between the present time and the settlement of our politi- cal troubles in 1868, Congress and the coun- try will be occupied with that, to the exclusion of almost everything else. There will be no time to take up and treat in a proper manner financial questions or questions affecting indus- trin] matters ; nor will there be much disposi- tion to do so. Besides, our public men are not educated up to the proper consideration of these at present ; nor could they legislate upon them satisfactorily while their minds are ab- torbed with political matters and the next Presidency. It would be better, therefore, to let the currency and all other weighty ques- tions of a financial character alone till after restoration and the election of a President next year, Nor would it be just to legislate upon these till then; for the millions of faithful supporters of the dominant party now in the South—tbe negroes who cultivate the soil— sbould have something to say, through their representatives, about the oppressive cotton tax and other measures that bear Meavily upon them, and of which they already complain. Lot the whole country—all the people of each section—have a voice in the important ques- tions affecting their material interests. In the meantime, the South is recovering, and will continue to recover, from the pros- trate condition it was left in by the war. The people are raising provisions enough for their own consumption and will soon have some to spare. They are cultivating, also, on a larger ecale, those valuable articles of export, cotton and tobacco. In a material point of view everything looks promising in the fature. But it is not only the South that presents a flattering prospect ; the whole country is a hive of indus- try ; everywhere there is promise of an abun- dance, and it is evident that, with the settle- ment of our domestic difficulties, we are on the eve of an extraordinary material development such aa the world has not witnessed before. Let us have no tinkering, then, with the na- tional finances and material interests of the country, We can go along well enough till opr Afior that Qon- sentences of political doctrine for them to hang their harps on; because his history pre- sents for criticism only great ects, which some men have supposed are of more cons:quence than opinions—such men as hold that “ words are mon’s daughters, deeds.” It is a source of the most poignant misery to Phillips—of the deepest chagrin, that when Mr. Johnson went across the country and ruined himself by the use of his tongue, Grant was with him all tho timo, and all the timo as speechless as destiny. Phillips feels in his own case how worthless a thing in national affairs isa manof mere words, and his annoyance that he cannot reduce ail to his level—his de- spair that one man is so far above his measure is at once pitiable and comic. laugh at the unhappy pedler of phrases? peace. happy condition.

All the professional politicians are in trouble. All the men who make a trade of politics— with whom the words patriotism and fidelity are only antecedents relating to such other words, expressed or implied, as spoils, plun- der, office—all who expect to thrive by adher- ing to this or that political clique are in the greatest possible distress about General Grant and his opinions. They say he has no opinions, and make feeble attempts to argue thence that he has no brains, But before they have car- ried this a great way they begin to see that the history of the war—the knowledge of the great battles that every soldier carried home—sup- plies an ever present argument against them, and they hesitate and lose confidence in even their own declamation, and hardly know where they are. Wendell Phillips and his coterie, like a distinguished character in the Book of Job, are going up and down the land and to and fro in it, wondering what to do about Grant; beating the bush for argument, weep- ing and wailing and gnashing their teeth in a rhetorical way, because the candidate they fear has “no ideas ;” becauso he puts forth no QPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE HERA.

It is equally inconvenient for him to move on or to stand still. The Lords having declined to sanction Mr. Disracli’s reform scleme without raising the rate of qualification, an immense stumbling block is thrown in the way of the government. How to got over it is a difficult problem. Lord Derby might do as Earl Grey did to secure the passage of the previous reform measure in 1832—he might apply to the Queen to create a sufficient number of new peers to secure the passing of the bill. But here would be the difficulty, The men who would consent to become peers in order to push through the House ot Lords a bill for extend- ing the elective franchise would be of neces- sity men of liberal sentiments. On all other questions except this one question of reform, which it suits the convenience of the tory party to take up just now, they would be likely to act against Lord Derby and his party, and would soon bring his tenure of office to an end. A creation of new peers, therefore, is impolitic. To stand quietly by and allow the popular agitation to go on till it reaches the proportions of a revolution would be still more unwise, The only practical and sensible course is for the peers to give in, and let the voice of the people for once control the destinies of the country.
