GERMANY.

There is. unmistakably, marked change in the
s;iuation in Germany. The Prussian Government
has changed its warke language; has become less
threatening and defiant, and, in its last diplomatic
notes speaks more of the preservation Of peace than
of the probability Of war. OF course, the world inter
protS this as defeat of Bsmark who it is said, has
already deemed it most expedent to offer his reSgna-
ton.
Tho oppo,itonto the Prussan project Of aggrandze-
ment had, of late assumed formidable dimensions.
None of the minor Governments seem to have de-
fined their position as regards the conflict to the salts
faction of Prussia and Of the latest reports says
that Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg Baden and Hesse-
Darmsadt would ALL in case Of war; be on the SIDE Oh
Austria still greater impression has been made III
Berlin. by the determined attitude of the Prusslan
people who. with an unparalleled unanimty ard with
boldness which has taken all Germany by SURPRISE
declared their opposition to civil war and to the
annexation of Schleswg Holstein against the will Of
the inhabitants.
The Prussan proposal for the convocation OF Ger
man Parliament is favorably received by many Llber
ais. without, however diminishing their detestation
of Bismark and their opposition to q civil war. The
bid for the good will of the Liberal party, which
Bsmark intended in appealing to universal suffrage
to the dsmay of most Of his adherents-has induced
the Austrian Government to make ar important con-
cession to the Liberal party of Germany 1t no
longer claims for the Federal Diet the exclusive right
10 decide the question of succession in the Duchies
but it proposes TINT the Austrian and PrusSan troops
shall both be withdrawn and the people Of scheswig
Holstein choose Government by universal suffrage.
As this proposition grants the chief demand Of the
Liberal party of Germany, and will probably obtain
the assent of tho minor German Goyernmentan OF the
other European Powers, it stands good chance Of
success If carried it will be an important victory
of Austrian diplomacy and notifying aud humili-
at;np defeat of Prussia

GOV. pENroN AND THE RAILROADS.

We do not know that Gov. Fenton will be a candi-
date for reelection but trust he may be, and that
be will have no serious opposition in the ranks of hs
own party Ii he were TO decline, We should not,
know in which direction to look for a successor.
We hear that disposed to base an opposition
to him on Railroad questions, which would be most
unwise Gov. Fenton has acted doubtless, in obedi-
ence TO his convictions, and to what he reasonably
believes to be public opinion. On this point,
his facilities for forming correct Judgment
are superior. He has taken no positions
that We are inclined TO dispute. But
there are considerations broader and perhaps less OBJ
yious than those on which he has acted, which con-
vince us that more liberal policy with regard to
Railroads will have to be adopted by our State. In
other words we must let those who make and run
Railroads charge higher for transportation thereon, or
have heavy load Of taxation for building more Rail
roads thrown upon our people generally.
Ii we are right in this conclusion, then the true poll
cy will have to be adopted, no matter who may be
Governor. Let us get back to Specie Payments so
soon as may be- and it is morally certain that the true
policy to be pursued with regard to our Railroads,
present and prospective, will be so plain that its
adoption cannot be resisted

SENATOR LENT AND THR COUNTY
COCRT.HOCSE.

IL February last one of the Supervisors presented
'rges against the Committee who are building the
Aew Court House, and asked the appointment OF
Committee. of which he should be a member This
latter request was diSregarded. and the COMMITTEES
which ras appointed was composed exclusively o.
such friendly material as TO preclude the probability
of any unpleasant developments. In spite Of all pre-
cautions however certain ugly facts leaked OUT ald
although the socalled investigation closedon the 10Th
of March, the Committee have yet made no report
Some of the points which the Committee could not
suppress, and of which Senator Lent must have hat
full knowledge when he appeared as the champion o!
the Court House job, are as follows:
]. That Mayor Gunther, in 1854 made private
examination of the iron contract and communicated
the facts TO the Board Of Supervisors. stating that
the circumstances strongly indicate the preparation
of gross fraud aud requesting that they might be in
yestigated. II was shown that this communication
was read in the Board printed in their minutes,
but was referred to the Court-Hous Committee, and
quietly pigeon-heled by them until it was produced
on the recent investigation. Was not this tacit
acknowledgment of the truth Of the Mayors charges
3 That the marble, which responsible contractors
had offered to furnish for less than $1,000 has been
SO purchased as to cost (thus far) about s3jo0Oo,
with large amount still to be Supplied and paid for
B. That one of the employees receives five per cent,
and another three per cent all expenditures: the
earnings of these two gentlemen amounting to-
$50 600 for the seven months next preceding Jan. }
last II was also shown that one of them had paid
Supervisor $lOO but the object purpose of the
payment they did not trouble themselves to explain.
L. 1t being asserted that more materials had been
paid for than had been used in the building the Com
mttee directed the architect to make certain measure
ments in order to ascertain whether such deficiencies
existed; but afterward, refused to permit him to
state the result Of his computationsa virtual ads-
sion that such deficiency did exist.
5. That the Board of Supervisors, in order 70 Sc
cure themselves against any adverse action OF the
Legislature, executed contract, under SEAL binding
the County of New.York to continue the Court House
in the control of the present superintendent until it is
finally completed and fitted up. When that period
will probably arrive no one can safely predict Tho
architect declined to hazard an opinion on tue sect
but the eloquent counsel who summed up the case Tor

New-York tribune., 1866-05-01

Mr.. Stevens presented yesterday to the House the
report on reconstruction which adopted on Satur
day by the Reconstruction Committee aud which We
have already printed in full As it embraces reso.
luton for amendment to the Constitution, bill to
restore the States and bill declaring certain Rebels
ineligible to Office, Mr.. Stevens moved to make the
three measures special orders for Tue ay, Wednes-
day and Thursday Of next week. Objection being
made the rules suspended by 07 to 90, and the
motion agreed TO. Meantime the bills and testimony
are TO be printed and written report in favor of the
Joint proposition will be presented to the House.
We presume the strong vots-more than four.iiths-
by which the House suspended the rules, may be
taken as an indication of its purpose to accep, the re-.
port of its Committee, or something which shall in
clude its main features.
The same report was male by Mr.. Fessenden in the
