Napoleon and Germany.

Our intelligent Paris correspondent,
in the letter which we published on
Saturday, communicated a significant
fact concerning the French Emperor's 3
attitude on the German question. which
we have not seen in any other journal.
II is 10 the effect that the Emperor in
structed his Minister at Berlin to con-
gratulate Bismark On his proposition
for creating a German Parliament by
universal suffrage, for settling the
Schleswig Holstein question and reor-
ganizing the Confederation, but to add
that such an important change in the
Confederate Constitution of Germany
would require the assent of all the par
ties to the treaty of Vienna.
The Emperor has reconstructed the
map Of Italy, and appropriated two
Italian States as his share, in spite of
that treaty. But when it is proposed
that the German States shall reform
their own confederation, he gives them
notice that the treaty of the European
Congress of 1915 is still in force, and
that the assent of similar Congress
will be needed. The meaning Of this is
that no change of boundaries, and no
Reorganization of government. in any
part of Europe. shall take place unless
he has hand in. and gets slice otter
ritory. He assumes TO be the owner OF
Europe, and he is ready to give any
portion of it to any power that will give
him a share of its own, as he did in the
case of the Italian reconstruction.-
Thus, BY one remove, the robber gets
an honest title.-Cin. Com.

The EUROPEAN NEws.-BY the
City of Paris and Germans, we have
advices from England TO the Sd inst.
The news is of decided interest. The
indications are that the German
question will have to be settled by
the sword The late notes, which
were, at the time they were publish
ed, interpreted In the interest of
peace, seem TO have meant war. They
were diplomatic lies, meaning some
thing very different from what they
expressed. Ali the Governments of
Europe were agitated, and there
were psnics in political, financial and
commercial circles. There was talk
of mediation on the part of England,
France and Russia. but this had not
advanced beyond the shape of rumor.
The war fire seemed to be rapidly
kindling, and it is difficult TO see,
with the heavy armaments going on,
the movements of troops in q men,
acing attitude, and the proximity Of
opposing forces, how a collision is to
be avoided. 1t would also seem that
the clash of arms cannot be long de-
layed.
This is evidently the way in which
that sensitive barometer-capital-
regards matters. There was q re-
newal Of the panic on the London and
Paris Stock Exchange; and in the
general markets business was much
depressed.-Cin- Gaz. Of Nay 14h.

In recent number the Memphis
Morning Post, commenting on the
causes that led to the outbreak and riot
in that city, said:
"The whole trouble originated. as

our police and the negroes. 1t was in
no way political matter The conduct
of the police, in their treatment Of me-

it very mildly, by an Unnecessary de-

this has been a growing hatred BE-

The constitutional Amendment
passed the House this afternoon,
amid the usual scenes of interest and
excitement that accompany so impor-
tant an event 1t not only passed
without amendment and just as it
came from the Reconstruction Com
mittee. but secured large majority
over the requisite two thirds vote
This was contrary to the anticipa-
tions Of the most ardent friends of the
amendment. It was, in fact, q strict
party vote, with the exception of G.
c. Smith, of Kentucky, and Phelps,
Of Maryland, who voted with the
Democrats-against it. There was,
however, a sharp exhibition of par
liamentary tactics that should not be
lost sight of. When the House was
to be brought to vote, large num-
Der of Republicans were opposed to
ordering the main question, and voted
with the Democrats--against it. They
did so on the ground that, if the main
uuColiOu WAS HOb uctcfhlucu Ou, lueTt
would be an opportunity to strike
out the third section, which disfran-
chises all rebels till 1870. The re-
tertion of this section was looked
upon by many as being fatal to the
ratification, by any Southern State,
of the amendment When q call was
completed, it was manifest that tie
opponents of the third section had
carried the motion, and that the main
question had not been ordered. The
Democrats instantly saw the oppor-
tunity to change the result and force
the Republicans to vote for or against
she amendment as a whole, with the
third section retained. Thereupon
Messrs. Niblack, Rogers, Kerr, and
other Democrats, changed their votes
to the affirmative, which carried the
motion by five majority, and forced
the House to q direct vote on the
main question.
There was great confusion and ex-
citenent at this moment, as nearly
wo-thirds of the members were out

cial reports for day or TWO past
have shown . rapid advance in two
of the staple articles of food-bread-
stuffs and provisions. In New York
-four advanced 15@30c per brI, and
in Chicago wheat was to lOc higher,
closing very much excited. In pork
the advance from the lowest point Is
s5 per barrel, and in lard 4ic per

ticn, but much OF it is caused by
short supplies. The stubborn fact
is beginning to be developed in .
shape not to be questioned, that the
productive interests of the country
have been in a measure neglected;
that cur growth in wealth has been
on paper rather than in substance,
and the first fruits are . growing
scarcity of food and high prices.
The actual deficiency Of wheat is
greatly aggravated by the reported
damage to the growing crop. Thi:
is stimulating speculative invest
ments, and prices are now not fal
below the highest figures realizes
during the war. The prospect fol
cheap living is certainly not en-
eouraging.- Ciacinnati Gosette.

When the name Of Mr.. Raymend

". Sackson, Esq, return
"a RON bis tripso The Bnst on Tuesday
evening. We hare had but a moments
conversation with him, but suficiest to
learn that there is no doubt of the
speedy building of the Virginia road to
the Ohio river. a4 49,
A company comprised of prominent
American and English capitalists have
made an offer for the charter and fran
''chises of that Road. If they obtain
them (and ofwhich there is but little
doubt they win Immediately send an
agent to Europe to negotiate loan
sufficient to build the road; and propose
to complete it TO the Ohio river within
two wears. Mr.. jackson submitted TO
these gentlemen, and the Commission
.ers, the superior advantages of the con-
aection offered by our proposed Road,
with the Railroad system of the Great
West. They seemed to be awake to the
importance of such connection but
were not aware of the ease with which
it could be obtained Consequently a
deep interest was elected in our under
taking, and nothing but criminal neg
lect and supineness on our part, will
prevent us from obtaining our long
cherished plans.
Mr.. jackson was ably seconded by
the Hon. W. P. Cutler, who impaired
valuable information 10 the Commits
sioners, and could speak authoritively
for the Marietta & Cincinnati Road
In our next issue we hope to present
more fully the steps to be taken by us
to insure the speedy completion of our
road.

% The democratic party OF the
North and the late rebels of the South
loudly boast that they stand upon
the same platform and have the same
policy as President Johnson. In all
their political conventions and meet
ings they take great pains to let the
country and the world know that
they heartily endorse the President
in his SO called opposition to the
radical majority in Congress, and are
loud in their promises to stand by
him in this contest to the bitter end.
Yet when the whole. question is
brought square down to the point, it
will be found that there is a wide and
radical difference between the policy
of Andy Johnson and the policy of
the Democratic party. 1t is true
that the President believes, and hon
estly too, that the Southern States
are now entitled TO full representa-
ton in both Houses of Congress.
But it is none the less true, that he
has alwars maintained aud still main
tains, that Congress ehould admit as
representatives from those States
none save loyal men, none save those
who can take the oath of office pre-
scribed by law, an oath which efrec.
tuallY cuts off all men who have par
ticipated in the late rebellion. There
is no evidence whatever that the
President has in the least changed
the opinion SO often expressed by
him, that legal men alone should be
entrusted with the national and State
governments. And in relation to
the Freedmens Bureau Bill and the
Civil Rights Bill, the President did
not differ from Congress in regard
to the principle contained in those
bills; FOR he has always declared him.
self strongly in favor of securing and
protecting the freedmen in their
civil rights. But he vetoed those
bills simply because in his honest
judgment they sought to secure this
end by means which were uncohsti-
tutional and opposed to the princi-
Piles of our government. Congress
and the President differed not in the
end aimed at, but in the means de
vised to secure that end.
Let President johnson be tried
upon his own declarations, and il
will be found that he is far removed
in principle from the Copperhead
party. In q speech delivered at
Nashville in 1854, in response to his
nomination as vice President, he
says: 81 say that traitors should take
q back seat in the work of restoration.
If there be but five thousand men in
Tennessee loyal to the Constitution,
loyal to freedom, loyal to justice,
these true and faithful men should
control the work Of reorganization.
/ say that the traitor has ceased to
be q citizen, and in joining the re.
bellion has become 8 public enemy.
he forfeited his right to vote with
loyal men when. he renounced his
citizenship and sought to destroy our
government Before these repent.

ing rebels can be trusted, let them
bring forth the fruits Of repentance.
Treason must be made odious. and
traitors must be punished and i'm
poverished." So spake Andy John
son in 1864, and the sentiments he
then uttered, he has never retracted.
He was not then, and Is not now in
favor OF restoring disloyal men to
Office and power.
But few weeks ago, in a speech
to crowd of soldiers and sailors
who called at the White-house to SER
enade him, he gave utterance to the
following words: "It is for each
house 10 settle the question under
the constitution and under the sol
emn sanction of an oath, and can We
believe that either house would ad-
NIT sny member into its body to par
ticipate in the legislation of the
country, who was net qualified and
fit to sit in that body and participate
in its proceedings? But some one
will say, a traitor might come in.
The answer to that is, each house
must be the Judge, and if = traitor
presents himself. cannot either house
know that he is traitor? And il he
is \ traitor, can they not kick him
out of the door, and send him back,
saying TO the people who sent him,
'yon must send us loyal man. If
a traitor pesents himself to either
house, cannot that house say to him,
mo, you cannot be admitted into this
body; go back. We win not deny
your people the right of represents
lion, but they must send loyal rep
resentative." So speaks the Presi-
dent to-day, and so long as he con-
tinues to hold such views, he will be
as far removed from the bosom of
the Democratic party, as was GER
tain rich man of old from the bosom
of Lazarus.
