The Germanic Confed.r.t,on.

SO much has been said of late concerning the Ger
manic Confederation, and so little is generally known of
the manner in which it is constituted-tbe nnrnoses for
which it was organized-the States it COMPRISES and
the limits OF Its powers under the Federal treaty that
bret account OF its origin and the objects sought to be
attained by the compact, may possibly at this time
prove interesting to the reader The Gernanic Confed
eraton as 1t exists at present. grew naturally out of the
Confederation of the Rhine which sprang M during the
Napoeanlc wars, and at time when the influence of
that great military cheftan was paramount in Germa
ny. The Old German Empire, which was dissolved in
1906, was divided into nine circles Austria, Bavaria.
and SWaba, in the south; Francona the Upper Rhine
and the Lower Rhine in the centre I: and WestnhaIia
Upper Saxony and Lower Saxony, in the north. II
comprised about three hundred independent States
secular and ecclesiastical, holding directly of the
Emperor The ttular changes introduced by Napoleon
L. gave the hrst serious blow to this llcompacted or.
ganzaton, and finally led to the separation of sixteen
German States from the ancient Diet of the Empire and
the establishment under the treaty of Paris in 1906 of
the Confederation of the Rhine After the downfall of
Napoleon, which accelerated by the detection of his
German allies the dissolution of the Rhensh compact
followed as matter OF course and in its stead Ger
manic Confederation proposed, which should com
prise all the independent States of Germany The sug-
gestion was promptly acceded to, and the number of
representatives to which the respective States were
titled being satisfactorily arranged the new Confederacy
was established in 1915, and the members of the Diet
met in session for the first time in November 1876
The object OF the conederacy was declared to be to
secure the independence and inviolability, and to
preserve the internal peace of the States In other
words, it for the mutual support and defence
OF the contracting parties within the recognized
limits of Germany but none of the extra Federal
possessions belonging to the respective States were
to be regarded coming within the terms of the COM
pact unless attack upon them imperiled the integr
ty of the atherand. Article 46 of the Federal COM
pact expressly declares that if federate State CON-
mences war beyond the federal territory, as Europe
an Power this war becomes foreign to the Confedera-
tion." And in another place it is provided that e in
such State is threatened attacked in its pos
sessions outside of the Confederation the obligation to
take measures of defence to participate in the
war, or to furnish help is only incumbent the Coned
Grafton if the Diet after having deiberated in limited
council finds in the plurality of votes that there is dan
ger for the Federal territory. The Germanic Coned
Grafton consists Of the following States and Free Cities

Letter from Hon. j. j. NIcIsne of Mississippi.

The jackson Mississppian publishes a long letter
from Gov John j. McRae, to the Hon. Jacob Thomp-
son. Secretary of the Interior in reply to the remarks of
the latter gentleman, at Raleigh in opposition to re-
opening the African slave trade We give the closing
paragraphs:
The question, then, of re-Openng the African slave
trade is merely one of interest for the increase of the
labor supply of the South with the attendant increase OF
her population her wealth and developed resources,
which are the source of her prosperity and power
African slavery is the labor system of the South The
repeal of the Federal laws prohibiting the African slave
trade is simply taking this system from under the con-
troll of the Federal and placing it under the
control of the States where it properly belongs For
this reason am in favor of the repeal of these laws
The question being rightly understood think the peo-
pie of Mississippi are in favor of their repeal
see in this position treason, no dlsunlOn nothing
but the true interests OF the South in placing her upon
an equality in her labor system with the other States OF
the Union The South being united upon II, 40 not
think the North could refuse just demand. am,
therefore, one who believes that the repeal of these laws
might be obtained within the Union, without further
danger to it than at present exists On the contrary
what would more aay the slavery agitation and calm
the entire mind of the country, than for the North 10
come forward and say they truly and Justly ought to
d. we unite with you for the repeal of all Federal laws
on this subject and place the labor system of the South
in reference to its supply, upon equality with our
own under the control OF the States interested In It, we
performing only constitutional obligations to 1t
would bind the Union together But you say the de
termned hostility of the North to slavery will prevent
this then say her hostility to our system is made
against it as it already exists and if that hostility over
throws the Union those of who have endeavored te
strengthen the South in her hour of trial, will not be
responsible for the sad calamity.
i believe the South requires more labor am am
therefore, in favor of reopening the trade IN slaves VIII
Africa. see no difference, morally socially or politi
ca IIy in buying slave in Africa the original
our SUPPLY and buying in the home markets OF og
slave-breeding States. In this yourself and Others II
the South will differ from But this IS question
for the people of the States to decide where they hav

willing to give them the opportunity to decide it b.

Diet FORMS itself into General Assembly, iii which each
State has at least one VOTE except the two prncpatles

vote collectively whilst several of the larger States
have three and four votes. But in the ordinary Diet
