THE ITALIAN QUESTION


The STATE OF ITALY.-The Paris Presse of the
18th thus sums up the latest news from Austrian
Italy:
"lncessant movements of troops, all the roads
| plocked up by Austrian regiments and military ma
terrell, an increase of the police force the dismissal
OF one hundred and three servants of the Lombar-
| do-V enetian Railway, revolutionary placards on
the walls, seditious cries in the streets and the re-
| fusal to pay taxes-such are the most remarkable
facts hich we find in the Piedmontese journals and
| in our letters from Italy, The Austrian officers in
Pavia state openly in the cafes that they are the
advanced guard of the army which will very soon
invade Piedmont. TT is certain, saws the Opinione
that they have received orders to hold themselves
| IN readiness for campaign.'"
letter from Genoa dated Saturday. saws:
Nothing is talked of but the probability of war;
! club OF young men has Just been formed with the
title of the Society of Italian Independence" The
members take an oath to give their loyal and hear
" support to the government in all that it may un-
dertake, with a view to deliver Lombardy from the
austrian yoke. 1t is a remarkable fact, that most
of the founders of this society were the last Noz
ztdni OF Genoa-that is to say, partsans of Mazzin
and the military republic. This is very import
ant symptom for with this spontaneous adhesion of
the dlssldent party we may hope to see an end to
all divisions in the great liberal party at the head
OF which our government has marched for the last
ten years. Another very important piece of news
Is the project OF modification of the law on the
National Guard, brought forward among the verv
hrst business OF the session. 1t is proposed to
make it obligatory all National Guards to wear
the uniform, and to render this force liable to
war service, it beGg the intention, however only
to employ 1t in garrison and other home duty
inns plan Will encourage volunteering into the reg
| ular army"
| FEELING OF THE LIBERALS IN GERMANY.-Tbe
Strdbidn Mercury, of the organs of the Liberal
| party in Southern Germany, has entered violent
protest against the intervention of France in italy,
lhe article Is too long for translation but one or
TWO OF Its more remarkable passages must be
| quoted. The Swabian paper saws:
| "Ne Germans have for many nentur;ao Lnow,
and felt the consequences of complications in Itay
They have always been injurious to u.s. but it would
be Infinitely worse for Germany if France were to
have the supremacy in Italy instead of Austria
| France has lost much in public opinion during
the last ten years that there is no party in Ger,
many which would accept her profered assistance
we expect the same prudent reserve the part of
the Italian nation. We know that Naples and
| Rome are not model states, but we do not know
| that the Imperial administration in Lombardy IS
5" 81 bad as to require an instantaneous change
Germany has had painful experience, and conse-
quently she is not likely make all the ouarrels of
Austria her own; but public opinion agrees on one
subject, and it is that every inch of ground which
Austria may lose in Italy will be loss to Germany

Gov. MEDARY.-In letter to the Ohio State Jour
nal, Gov. Medary quotes paragraph from the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York Post and
in contradicting its statements SAYS:
Ihere are two or three very important mistakes
In the above. The Governor of Missouri has made
present Governor
of Kansas for Captain Montgomery" nor for any
| one ese And so far from my suggesting such a
thing to the Governor of Missouri our intercourse
| Tor the preservation of peace and order upon the
border OF the State and Territory has been of the
| very opposite character. | have expressed no Gin
| dignation" at any time against "Captain Montgom-
ery, aside from his acts the reputed leader of
gang of desperate men, committing acts in violation
of law, and desoatng neighborhoods under pre-
| text OF partisan warfare. | have spoken of Mont
| gomery as have of all others guilty of the same
| crime.
Ihave spoken before my arrival, here and since.
with "feeings of indignation" towards persons out
OF the territory, furnishing the means and sympa-
thy that instigate these men to commit crimes un-
known before in the history of the country, under
the garb of politics. expressed also ''indgnation'
that papers east, under the character of 'respect-
ability" should open their columns to falsehoods
the most shameful and disgusting, for the purpose
OF misleading the public mind, and giving aid to
brutal murders and robberies. The people of X an
sas desire peace and protection in property and life;
and so far as l am concerned, while | hold the po-
sltlon OF executive, they shall have it, without re-
gard to politics or color. The law is plain both as
to our duty to another in the territory and to
our neighbors outside of the territory.
