ast Saturday evening , to the ofleot that

and that the expedition might bo expected -

ived at Cedar Keys , ,1'ho Dix then

ho started in pursuit of the filibustering
chooner , as stated in the press dispatcher
rom Key West early this morning. Ii
s alleged that the delay in'starting is no

, ho Dix is under steam capable of making

Mr. Parnoll 1ms boon invited to become
the guest of the corporation of Droghcdn ,
Irolond , on Easter Monday , whoa a great
public ban < iunt will bo tendered him and
ho will bo presented with the freedom of
the city. It has boon arranged that on
this occasion the Irish leader will deliver
a great political addrcsi. Ho will , it is
understood , take advantage of the oppor
tunity to nullify the projected alliance of
the Ulster torics and liberals against the
homo-rulers by explaining in detail the
uses to which ho intends to put the pro
jected campaign fund of JL'40,000 and by
unfolding his now plan for securing sal
aries for Irish members of parliament.
At present it is difficult to induce strong
men in the hoino-rulo ranks to become
parliamentary candidates because most of
the greater homo-rulers ere too poor to
accept unsalaried political positions.
UUMKNTINQ THE OUUJI.VN BMl'IllK.
Bismarck has just announced at Berlin
a proposal for more completely imperial-
iztng Germany. Ho calls it a project for
a more complete cementing of the Gor
man ompirj. The chancellor has pre
pared a bill which is to bo submitted to
the reichstag immediately after the
Easter recest ) , and which contemplates
the ontiio recasting of the federal council ,
or upper liouso of the German parlia
ment ,
ON THOROUGHLY AUTOCRATIC LINES.
The council , or bundcsrath , as it is
officially termed , is now composed of
fifty-two members appointed by the diets
or other representative bodies of the four
kingdoms , six grand duchies , five duchies ,
and seven principalities composing the
Gorman ampiro. It is consequently a
strictly representative body because its
members derive their powers from depu
ties elected directly by tno p6o plo"whilo
it is purely federal in as much as they
ropronent their respective states , and not
individual constituencies.
THE KKVT 1'llO.IKOT
of the chancellor does not interfere
with the number of the inomboro
of the bundosnitli , nor with the
functions of that body , but it aims to
revolutionize ! its character by putting the
solo appointing power practically in the
hands of the sovereigns of the various
states. In its text the now bill , which it
is understood is to bo pressed to passage
with all the power of imperial influence ,
gives to the respective sovereigns only
the right of nomination , and gives the
various diets
MEHKLY CONFIRMATORY J'OWEr.H ,
but it is evident that any sovereign , it
the ovpnt of a refusal by the diet to con
firm his nominations , can rcfuso to make
ethers , and thus force the diet to con
firmation under the penalty of leaving
the state unrepresented in the chiol
council of the empire.
IIAKKH I'AKIIA AND Till ! WOMEN.
The social topic of greatest interest jusl
now appears to bo the proposed ruin
statement of Baker pasha in the militnrj
position which he forfeited some ypan
ugo. The Standard , it seems , received
no fewer than two hundred letters frpir
ladies recently , urging that the crrinjj
ollicur should bo forgiven. Forgivonosi
being with many women the heroic virtue
tuo , this is not very surprising ; buthavt
these ladies no fear that in their irapul
uivo generosity they may bo helping t <
break down the barrinr which society ,
none too careful as a rule for fomaU
vonor , has placed about their sex to pro
, oct them from foulest wrong ?
"It was only a momentary impulse , '
they saVi but is that any reason for re
laxing the penalty which tends to koci
these momentary impulses in chock ? Sup
pose the victim had been less courageous
the yielding to that impulse would havi
entailed a term of penal servitude , aw
that too , wo suppose , might have boot
remitted on the same grounds.
"I am mightily amused , " writes to u
a graceless reprobate , "at the announce
meat in The Standard this morning tha
the editor has been deluded with letter
from hundreds of ladies impetuously demanding
manding the reinstatement of a cortaii
gallant oflicer in the British army. The ;
