~ The n. O. Deutscha Zeitung, the
able organ Of our German fellow-citi-
zens, las a blunt way Of sometimes re-
ducing an argument to very narrow
compass. Ia it's last Sunday edition,
speaking of the Sumner theory of the
''s,licide" of the States in connection
with the Radical demand that the
South adopt the Constitutional Amend
meut, our esteemed contemporary asks
the following pertinent questions:
"If the Southern States are not
States, but unorganised territories, how
can they participate as States in an
amendment of the Constitution of the
Union And if they are States how
can Congress, or even the President,
force them to change the Constitu-
tiou9'

u Considerable alarm has been ex-
cited in Cambridge, Mass, by the oc-
currence Of two or three fatal cases of
cholera in the place. Among the VIC
tins was Napoleon Bonaparte Fellows,
a returned soldier, who died on Satur-
day. He had the dysentery for some
weeks before, and on the day he was
taken i'll had eaten six or eight cante-
iopes or muskmelons, and then took a
dose OF salts, to prevent the fruit from
hurting him.

s@- "The Beast is the author of the
platform adopted by the soldiers conven-
ton at Pittsburg. One Of its resolutions
asserts that the President, as an executive
officer, has no right to a policy as against
the legislative department Of the govern
ment.' Among the many new discoveries
in politics which have been made by the
Black Republican party, this one by g The
Beast, claims pre-eminence for originality.
There has not been sing administration

adherence to q policy upon some prominent
political issue. The Constitution contom-
plates that the President shall have 9 q

commanding him to give to the Congress,

Napoleon's Recent Speech at Auxerre.

New YORK, May 23.-Thc follow
ing is the text OF Napoleon's speech
at Auxerre, to which is attributed
the cause for the financial panic in
England and Europe:
Il see with pleasure that the
memory of first empire has not been
etfaccd from your minds. Believe
me for my own part, ! have inheri-
ted the feelings entertained by the
chief ofmy family for this energetic
and patriotic population, who sus-
tanned the Emperor in good as in
evil fortune have Il depth Of
gratitude to discharge towards lone
This department was the first to
give me its sutfrages in 1913, because
il knew, with the majority of the
French people, that its interests were
my interests, and that | detested
equally with them those treaties of
1915, which it is now sought to make
the sole basis of our foreign policy.
/" | thank you for sentiments you
have expressed towards me-
Among you breath freely, for it
is among the working population,
both in town and county, that | find
the real genus Of France"

RETURN or GOVERNMENT BoNDs
FROM EURQPE.-A Washington dis
patch to the Chicago Tr.tune says
that private letters received there
from the best informants in Ger
many, apprehend the return of i'm
mense amounts of GoveInment bonds
upon the home market. About S.
900, 600 arrived by the last steamer.
The alarm OF approaching war is
the obviousreason for the movement,
and if this is held to be q good one,
and the foreign holders continue TO
be governed by it, we may expect,
now that war of terrible dimen-
sions is inevitable, that our bonds
will come home by the hundred mil
lions 1t is believed thst the utmost
amount Of u. S. securities that can
be returned from Eu.ope is four
hundred millions, including those
held in Germany and S~itzerland.-
The amount OF American bonds held
in England is not largei indeed, for
two or three years OF tale war con-
federatc bonds were prized more
highly in England tEAn federal,
and to the very last Euslish capital
lists hoped for as they preferred the
triumph of the rebel arms and the
destruction Of the American Con-
stitution and Governnlsnt 1t was
only the middling or farming classes
that supported the American union
cause, and these had but little mon
oy 10 exchange for ou& bonds. In
their hands are held bowever the
bulk Of our bonds. In Germany and
France it was ditfercr9 all, from
the peasant to the banker, supported
one cause and took no. confederate
bonds-but sending large orders for
Federal securities.
Supposing that the .'entirc four
thrown upon our S stock artets the

and the foreign owners :be the los

There would be TEN orary bond

The recent advance in the quo
tations of gold is viewed by some in
telligent readers in an alarming light,
and not few fear that it may I'M
settle values and cause derangement
in commercial affairs, as it did du-
ring the progress of the rebellion.
Such fears, in our opinion, are
groundless. The recent advance in
gold is the direct result of the finan-
cial panic in England, and which
caused decline in United States
securities there to point where it
became profitable 10 ship them to.
New York. These bonds being sold
here, on account of parties in Eng
land, the proceeds have to be REMIT
ed in gold or foreign exchange. The
latter being less desirable at present,
on account Of the unsettled state OF
financial affairs in Europe, the de-
mand for gold for shipment has, for
few days past, been usually active.
Hence the recen. advance In quota
tons But 1t is all matter of bonds,
and ought not to affect trade and
commerce particle. The advance
OF gold TO 285 during the war was
the result of a want OF confidence in
the ability of the Government to
meet its indebtedness and TO subdue
the rebellion bat now we are at
peace with ourselves and all tho
world, and no one-not even the in
credulous Mr.. Gladstone-doubts
the ability Of the United States to
pay every single dollar of its in
debtedness, principal and interest.
1t is true, the advance in gold will,
to a certain extent affect the values
of produce and merchandise but it
will bear directly only on those ar
ticles Of export and import which
are exchanged for in gold Hence,
the recent advance in the price Of
grain, which is taken for export, and
also in groceries, which are impor-
ted, and have to be paid for in gold
or sterling exchange.
We think it is folly, therefore, to
borrow any trouble concerning the
present initiation in the gold market
AS long as the crcdi0 Of the Govern
ment IS unimpaircd, the advance in
gold can be comparatively harmless,
so far as the general interest oftrada
and commerce are concerned

The Memphis Riot.

Major Gilbrcth, sent by General
Howard to Investigate the Memphis
riots, has made a partial report on
the subject lie says the civil author
tiles have not taken the slightest
notice Of these terrible riots, and
seem to regard them as simply a
skirmish between the police and the
negroes 1t was certainly very
onc-sidod skirmish, as, from the tes-
timony, no resistance was made by
the negroes after the first night.
The citizens have been advised to
hold amceting and denounce the con
duct of the mob, but still they either
neglect or refuse to do so. The pa
pers Of Memphis are at the root Of
the whole matter. They have invi-
ted riot and murder for months, and
this is only legitimate result OF
their infammatory and incendiary
articles, and the poor whites, between
whom and the negroes a feud has
always existed, have been but their
tools.

In 1859, Henry A. Wise was Gov.
eraor OF Virginia. Ia that capacity
he urged, with all his Influence, the
conviction Of an old and crazed en-
thusiast for freedom who had invaded
Virginia with half dozen followers
and freed some slaves, of the crime
Of treason. John Brow was charg-
ed with treason and sentenced to die,
Governor Wise was n vain petition
ed to mitigate the sentence and
spare the old mans life. By his
directions, and with the appreciation
Of the Democratic party, John Brown
was promptly hung
Since then Gov Wise has commit
ted the crime Of Observation-Disclosures,
cold blooded, ma ignant treason
not in mere hair Drained and
absurd attempt-tut in formidable
and dangerous conspiracy against
the Republic, resulting in the loss OF
hundreds OF thousands of innocent
lives and the expenditure ofthousands
OF millions OF treasure He is not
tried. He is not sentenced to death
On the contrary he boasts Of his
trea 'on and publicly glories III il.
Here is an extract from speech
which he made in Richmond recently
on the anniversary Of "Stonew.i
