The New York Times makes the follow
ing sensible suggestions to the South in re-
fatien to the proposed amendments to the
Constitution:
Z The naaxim Let US take what we can
get ROW, skould not be lost sight of by the
State legislatures, especially by the Legis-
fatures Of the Southern States, where the
terms of the amendment will be most keen
ly discussed These terms may not be alto
,sether palatAble, but after all they are not
unreasonable in view of the relations of the
two sections They simply protect the civil
rights Of all classes, adapt the number of
representatives, to the number of voters, pro-
hibit certain prominent rebels from holding
Office, Federal or State, and provide for the
inTioiabiiity of the national and the wiping
out of the rebel debt. The third clause
really is the only one to which show of
opposition can be offered; but even in this
case it shoald be considered as compromise
Offered by tie Union party in lieu of the
sweeping Acknowledgement originally pro-
posed. As a compromise, it should be ac-
cepted By the South, for though not exactly
as they eonld have it, had they the sole
making of conditions, it is believed to be
the most favorable compromise to which the
North would accede. For once let the South
borrow hint from Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens,
and take what it can get" if not with
tlaankfalness, at least with consciousness #
the practical value of a settlement without
which the restoration of the Union will be
indefinitely postponed"

War in Europe.

The City of Paris, at New York, brings
Liverpool dates to the 9Th.
The Conference has been Abandoned con-
sequent upon the demand of Austria, which
rendered the mediation of neutral powers an
impossibility. The neutrals have broken off
all negotiations, and it remains for the
beligerents to negotiate among themselves or
inaugurate war.
It is believed that hostilities will CON-
mence in the Elba Duchies, and that Austria's
great move will be to lay siege to Silesia.
Prussia will probably commence the wal,
and has sent a circular to the neutral powers
charging Austria with fragrant breach of
treaties.
The Prussian army comprises 452 Bat
tallions of infantry, 800 squadrons of cav
airy, and 1886 pieces of field artillery.
The Italian volunteers number 95,0 900.
The Austrian army now numbers 900, 900.
It is supposed $50, 900 will operate against
Prussia, 100000 against Italy, exclusive Of
reserves.
1t is reported if Prussia seizes Holstein the
Austrians will cross the frontier. The forces
of Spain have been augmented to $1,000.
The London Times declares that all hopes Of
peace have vanished.
The latest news ola Queenstown from Ber-
lin to the 9th says that Prince Frederick
Charles leaves on the 18th for the Head
quarters of the Prussian army in Silesia.
At Florence, on the 9th, great excitement
it is said, prevailed in Venice, owing to q
forced loan and the refusal of the munich
pality to cooperate in collecting it. Large
numbers of persons had fled from the city te
avoid CONSUMPTION.

THE POLITICAL SITUATIoN.-Thc joint
resolution proposing the new amendment OF
the Constitution will come up before the
House this moring. We are induced to be-
lieve that not a single. Union vote will he
thrown against it. From what We can learn
none of the friends of the measure desire to
debate it but it is supposed that the oppo
sition will insist upon expressing their SEN
timents, which of course will not be objected
to 10y the majority. This may postpone the
vote fora day or two. After its passage Tit
seems to be generally conceded that the
Presidents sanction, to the measure is not
requisite) steps will6e at once taken to adj
nit Tennessee NJ. Stevens is said to have
expressed himself to the effect that Tennes-
see should be admitted before the adjourn
ment of the present Congress, which Will Ger
tainly be not later than the first Of August.
If proper bill can be reportad to admit
Tennessee and Arkansas it would pass over
whelmingly.- Washington Chronicle.

FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
ExurrlEsr IN NEW YORK.
Pennsylvania News.


New York, June th.-1mports for tho
past week exceed s7,0O0,O00, Of which there
were 100000 of sugar, tea and coffee.
The excitement in Gold Room has been
very intense for several days past. -Four or
five of the heaviest stock spectators have
lost fortunes in that time by throwing their
money and influence against the rise.
A London letter to New York banking
firm says that the arrivals of specie are an
immense thing for American credit. The
amount sent from America is everywhere adj
mitted to have saved England from general
bankruptcy.
The letters to other banking houses in this
City are to the same effect. .e
A telegram from Harrisburg Penn, says
that the Petroleum and also the Venango
bank at Franklin haye instituted action
against the ex-Auditor General of Pennsyi
vania, /. Henker, and through him against
the State of Pennsylvania for the recovery Of
million and q quarter Of U. 8. securities,
deposited with Auditor General as security
for the circulating medium of those banks
The facts as stated are that the firm OF
Culver, Penn, & Co. were in the habit OF
taking notes of Venango and Petroleum
banks for cancellation at the Auditor Gene
rails Office, when they received like
amount of bonds for that which they pre-
sentcd in notes. 1t is alleged that the par
ties receiving this bonds were neither agents
nor officers of the bank. And that these
bonds instead of being sent to the officers OF
the bank were taken to New York and n.y.
pothccated by Culver, Penn, & Co.
1t is alleged that it was done without the
authority of the bank, and that it was an
embezzlement for which the Auditor General
is responsible
Warrants have been issued and officers
notified to arrest the parties implicated in the
transaction. The condition of these banks
is now in course of official investigation.

We publish to-day the able and eloquent
speech of Dir. McCorkle,, delivered in Con-
vention, on the subject of property dualif-
cations for Office. Mr.. McCorkle has con-
clusively shown, as we think, that in a gov
esnnaent like ours, no such qualification
should be required. This Convention may
not strike this qualification from the Con-
stitution, but it will be done in less than
ten years from this time Men constitute a
State" In the language of Mr.. McCorkle,
e the wealth of State consists not in the
broad fields and dollars of its people, but in
the virtue and intelligence of its citizens"

The National Currency Act,

The House Committee on Banks and Currency
are engaged in matuing several important amend
ments to the National Currency Act. Among
the measures thus far agreed upon are an amend
ment reducing the circulation of all banks with a
capital exceeding $500 900 ten per cent. and an
other which provides that no bank shall have
more than 81, GOO, 900 circulation. There is a
strong pressure from the National Banks for re-
lief from taxation, which they unanimously as
sert has become SO bnrdensome as to compel
many of them to contemplate the alternative of a
totrl abandonment of business, or change to 9
private banking business

THE "Lo4AL GEORGIAN I'm recent ar
ticle we stated that General Tillson had sup
pressed the Loyal Georgian at Augusta,
Georgia, He telegraphs to General Howard
that such is not the fact, but that the Geor-
gian is still published. The rumor doubt
less originated from the fact that the Geor-
gian severely and fearlessly condemned Gen
eral 1illson for preventing the teachers OF
the colored schools and their scholars at
Augusta from doing honor to the memory OF
the Union dead buried at the cemetery near
that city. The Georgian of the 9th of May
contains these structures, and shows that
General Tillsen made a great blunder in sup
posing he was doing good to the cause of
humanity by acting upon the belief that it
would be insulting to the tender susceptible
tiles of the families of the dead rebels in and
around Augusta if the true friends of the
dead Union heroes paid the same grateful
tributes to their memory that were so osten
tatiously displayed by the relatives and
friends of their departed enemies.

JryrERsoS DAVIS AND Hrs FRrENDs.-

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS FRIENDS
It is not so strange as it seems that Mr..
Greedy sympathizes with jefferson Davis,
and is willing to give "bail in any required
amount . to set him free. We forget that
Mr.. Greedy inrited the Southern States to
withdraw from the Union; that he defended
the " right of secession as earnestly as did
Calhoun, Davis, Slidell, or Mason, insisting
that this :. right was found in the Declara-
ton of Independence; that when several
States made up their minds " to go out OF
the Union, the Federal Government had no
authority for restraining them.
Tie friends of the Union made noble ct
fort, in Georgia, to resist the ordinance OF Sc
cession. But when Mr.. Toombs produced
the Tribune, reading editorials inviting and
defending secession, they were overwhelmed.
If, then. Jefferson Davis had the approval of
the Tribune in his warfare upon the Union,
why should not its Editor stapd by him now,
seeking to spare him punishment for offences
which, in the estimation of the Tribune, were
not offences
Again, consistent at least in his secession
proclivities, Mr.. Greeley was clamorous for
apeace,n bowling most piteously for it when
ever the war-cloud was darkest. In his zeal
for "peace,n he was seen at Washington
cuddling with Vallandingham and the 81 Cop
perheads." He then, with his confederate,
colorado Jewett," rushed to Canada, with.
drawing the attention Of Jake Thompson. !"
.Bev. Tucker" Sanders" &C., from their
conspiracies to rob, burn and assassinate.
long enough to negotiate with those mis-
creants for "peace upon the hest attainable
| terms,n with $500, 100000 as bonus to
| Slavery. ~ III.
Nor is it as strange as it seems that the
| Tribune opposes the restoration of the Union.
We forget again. that its editor was in favor
of secession; that he urged the Government
to let the. Slave States go out Of the Union.
In the eliminating hour of secession Gov
ernor of South Carolina cited the New York
Tribune and Wendell Phillips as evidence
that the Aholitionists were the "best friends .
of Disunionists. Remembering, then, the
antecedents and proclivities of the organ OF
Radicalism, let us cease to marvel that its
elitor burns with zeal for the release OF JEFF
! ferson Davis, and labors to keep the Union
| divided.--N Y. Times
