Terrible Overthrow of Senator Fenton, and its Probable Consequenc The Hon. Revnen EB. Fenron has sus- tained a terrible defeat in the confirmation of the Hon, Titomas Merpity as Collector, and the removal of Gen, Epwin A. Mennirr as Naval Officer of the Port of New York, two of the most important and Incrative pos'tions in the gift of the President Menpny is the determined antagonist of Senator FEn- TON, having epposed his reéleetion fer i ve ernot in 1£0¢, and gone to Chicago in 1968 to prevent bis nomination to the VieoPres dene while Gen, Mennitr hos long Leon his ardent supporter and confidential friend, Fexton having made him a member of his staff, as Quarterinastcr General, wh le he was Governor. In the appointinent of Menriny and the removal of Mrnnity, Gen. Grant therefore has dealt a double Mow at Fexron, and with the intent of crippling lis influence in the Senate, and destroying it altogether with the Republican party ofthis State. Gen. Gnant has never liked Gov. Fenton. He opposed his nomination to the Vice-Presidency, snub- bed him in distributing the Federal patronage in this State, and especially in this city ; und having recently got it into Nis head that Fenton is secretly plotting for the Presi- dential nomination in 1872, he has deter. mined to bring him to grief. The war on the part of the President is not to end here. The head of not a single friend of Fenton, who holds a Federal office in thie Btate, is now safe npon his shoulders, but is liable to roll from the block at a moment's notice, It was this consideration which led Fenton to abandon his usual tactics in exi gencies of this sort. Shrewd and facile, he has been wont to epy defeat in the distance: and to seem to avoid !t by quietly acquicsciug: in the inevitable. He was too sagac.ous not to foresce the certain confirmation of Mur ruy, and the proballe removal of MERRITT ; but there was no alternative left for hint ex- cept a cowardly retreat from the field, or & bitter fight tothe end, His friends aud fol- dowers would not allow him to take the for. mer course, and he was compelled to adopt he latter, THe therefore fought the battle as he best could ; nist the result ishisdisastrous overthrow. A few Senators may have so far ympathized with him as to abandon their sents and not vote at all on the connimation of Mvurny, the key of the position; bu Fenton was only able to rally two Senators to his side in a rollcall of fifty-one. Of its kind and degree, this is one of the worst po- litical defeats which any prominent politi- cian in this State has sustained for the last twenty years, What hes Gen. Grant gained by this victory? He has removed and disgraced Gen, Mennrrt, the best politician in the Custom House, a shrewd and energetic man, who has a good deal of strength with the Republicans of the interior; and he has put in his place an amiable old gentleman, who Lad utterly failed as Collector, and who has no political following anywhere. He has aroused thy Utter hastidity of Senator Fe: TON, who, during the twenty years thet he has been working up to his present position, Las developed rare tact and vigor as a polit- feal strategist, and who now lus an infu tial body of supporters in the Repub) party of New York. If Senator Fenton, after this scathing re buko and stuaning blow from the Admini tration, shall continue to act with the Re- publican party, we wholly mistake his char. acter if he does not make his hostility to the renomination of Gen. Gnanv very uifective, and at the precise moments and places when it will be inconvenient aud periajs sible for the President to encounter it Another course lies open to both Gov. Fenton and Gen, Menus? ; and that is to gradually break off their connection with the Republican party, und slide back into the ranks of the Democracy—the political organ. ization which they left, incompany with « large body of their fellow Barnburners, in 1854-5, to aid in the formation offthe Repub- lican party. ‘Iho Democrats need recruits to elect the next House of Representatives, and to carry the next President ; and though they have been wont to roundly abuse Goy, FEn- TON, they must not be too fastidious in re gard to the antecedents of the allies who are to aid them in restoring the ancient prestige and power of their party. peal SNE The Prospects of the War. Notwithstanding the apparently well. founded reports which came yesterday of an amicable set th ment of the dispute between France and Prussia, the French army may be expected to cross the Rhine any day Louis Naroieon is determined to make war on Prussia sooner or later, aud it is ol ously for his interest to strike a blow betor his enemy is fally prey red, and before t) European powers can step iv to put off t irrepressible contlict, He may have reasons for obtaining a few days’ delay, but this is Bo proof that he has abandoned his original purpos: pe of the war cannot but be serious, recent interview between the rth Gorman King and the Ru ian Cear at Ems seems to) vo had in view a close alliance between the « Purpose of meeting a cont now at Jongth arrived, Bu: ry baving been the first to rush to 4, Euro; may hold him respousible for the breach of the peace, and organize a coalition against his dynasty, in which Prussia, Rus aia, Sweden, aud Spain may wesidy be 8, for the ney which has pitted against France, Austria, and South | were both’ detained by the police, and a force | what he kuo Ttaly is aleo usnally counted | sont to quell the disturbance. thereby th far moro power | to watch the Scannen gang, when the firing should avail herself of the tide of events | commenced, made haste to the premises and to make Rome the capital of Vicron Eman. | arrested all but the two above named, who veL, Asfor Spain, NavorKon will probably, | had alread; in the event of war, despatch one of the | the police entered they found FLORENCE | not only to him, but to his friends also.

New Haven, July 11.—The Forbes case has taken on new aspect since I wrote you announce: ing the death and burial of the unfortunate young man whose estate is destined to be the source of = protracted and eharply-contested Inwault, The ad- ditional foature has been developed by the discovery of certain evidence tending to show that George Forbes, just previous to his marriage, revoked the will by which he had bequeathed his property to his stepmother, in derogation of the rights of his de~ consed brother's heirs, and made a different tosta- mentary disposition of his entire estate, THe NEW WILL MAS NOT BER FOUND; but Fam informed that there is strong direct as well as citeumsiantial evidence to prove that euch an in- stroment was executed, and was in existence a short time prior to the death of the testator, This evi dence consists in part of a letter from Forbes to the exceliont end ted womm who is now bin widow. a few weeks before. they were married. It was written while he was recovering from & severe {lines in Now Haven, and adresse! to her at Branford. He speaks of the will he had made in her favor, and refers to some irreeularity in its phrase- ology, which he fears that his stepmother and the persons by whom she is snrrounded, and to whos Inflnence she lias been subjected, may avai! them- selves of, and procure it to be set aside, The lan- guage of the letter would imply that the anbject hat heen fully discnesed by bim and his correspondent. and that she wax aware of its provisions and th Place where it was deposited, THIS WILL MAY TURN CP, and ip that case there is an end to the controversy, Forbes wa ethorieal xaet man in the tren action of business, and if h a will should be covered, it will be found to be skilfully and regular! drawn, a8 Well us proveriy atiested, and there will not be the tenet dim in procaring it to be ad- mitted fo probete. On the other hand, it i among the poxsibilites that Mr. Forbes did not earry out bls determination, and that the instrument was not formatly executed, although the terms of tite letter above alluded to exclnde this hypethe for he speaks ofa will ex Land complete, and notin contemplation, or an inchoate will, Nothing of h sinister or improper nature fs sn pected of the devise under the first te Uisposition of the Forbes est who expected ultim: THAT LANGR PROPERTY. ‘The charneter of these people forbids euch an im- putation, And yet it should not be forgotten that snel w heir avidity and their eacernoss to secure the estate, and to prevent its alienstion from the fomily m any manner, that they soarht to control Forbes’s movements, to make sure that (he mar. riage should not take place, and that, too, ata time when he was in a condition that ret prob that he could long survive, These measures were inith for the purpoee of securing the estate to the exclusion of bis newrert relatives, the ehildron of his decessed brother, as well as the Indy whom le had determined to make his wife. Srii the more charitab'e, as well the more probable supposition is, hat the now will has been necidentally misial!, Whether or not it will ever be discovered must ve a matter of pure conjecture. ‘Meautime ft is Well not to overlook the fact that A CERTAIN EVENT, not at all unlikely to occur, may dispore of the whole question decidedly and finally. ‘The widowed bride i 9 fresh, bright. vivacious woman, and Forbes, aith: h sometimes considcrably debilitated by Theamatic attacks, was still a young man of un- common vitality and greot moascolur vigor, And that, furthermore, they. lived tocether as man and wife for more than a mouth, during a portion of which period he was in a comfortuble state of health, A Womnn Lawyer, with ber Diploma ta her Hand, Refused ter Rizbts.
