Three Days Later News from Europe.

Three Days Later News from Europe.
The steamship MOrauian passed Farther Point
yesterday, bringing three days later news from
Europe. The actual collision of armed forces
on the Continent has not yet occurred, but ru-
mors were current when the steamer lett, that
Austria had declared war.
The most important item of information is the
action of the Germanic Diet On the llth. Ans.
trla moved in the Diet for the immediate nob-
lizatioD of the Federal army. Prussia imme-
dlately despatched note to the minor States
to the effect that if that motion prevailed, she
would thenceiorth regard the Germanic Conte-
deration as dissolved, and would be governed
in her future movements solely by military con.
sideraions. Notwithstanding this direct threat
on the part of Prussia, the Diet, on the 18th, by
a vote of nine to six voted to mobilize the Fede.
raj army. The Prussian representative protested
against the decision of the Diet, while the Aus
trlan representative insisted on the indissOlubi
llty OF the Confederation, and the Diet voted to
adhere to the Austrian declaration. This action
would indicate that Prussia will have to fight
not only Austria, and all the minorIGerman DOW.
ers. Should Austria succeed in uniting these
States actively on her side, her strength would
be vastly increased.
An Austrian courier proceeding from Vienna
to General GABLENz had his dispatches taken
from him in Prussia.
The first hostile movement of Italy is expected

into Yenetia.
Switzerland has called out the first reserve OF

KossUTH has issued an address to the Hunga-

The Government of the Danubian Principali-

Our CONVERSATIONAL antnrdnvs.

OUhkACobAuuHI bHLuIuHNbs
ONE OF the greatest farces in our legislative sys.
tenn is the comedy which is enacted in the
House OF Representatives on every Saturday,
upon entering the hall the visitor is impressed
with the belief that the House is not sitting. II
is certain that there is no quorum present.
Thirty members would be liberal average of
attendance. The Speaker places substitute in
the chair and disappears. The members gather
III groups, talk loud, and gestlculate, while one
OF their number performs the principal part,
and delivers speech. We say delivers il
through courtesy, for as far as its being either
audible or interesting, he might as well remain
quiet. No one pays the slightest attention
There is no audience in the gallery. There Is
no listener on the floor and for any one unini.
uated in the system to see a man talking to
nobody AMI gestculatlng to the frescoed cell
ing must be the perfection of comedy.
The oh ect of thus setting aside certain day
Tor the ventilation of ideas is a growth of our
political system. A Representative must make
at least one speech, in order 10 satisfy his con.
stituents. 1t matters not whether he has any.
thing to say whether his ideas are original or of
the least importan ce, a speech must be made.
Such being the necessity, it is a wise discre.
tion which sets apart one particular day In
which all this superhuous waste of words can
be swept through the halls OF Congress, and not
interfere with the regular business. 1t is rare,
indeed, for any leading member to deliver his
address on this speech-making day. They
select an opportunity when q bill comes before
the House in regular order and their address is
tolerated. 1t is only such as have to speak to
satisfy their all.wse constituents that hurry
through it on the most convenient opportunity.
We should think that much better plan would
be that now becoming more generally aiopted,
OF allowing members merely to real the
opening passage of the speech and then
have 1t printed as though delivered in
fact, subjecting an address to the same rou.
tine as the reading of the journal, which is
always dispensed with. AS long as the peculiar
constitution of our people tails to enable to ap.
preciate that merit may be found in Represen-
tatlve other than that displayed by stilted
oratory, we suppose some such bowing to pre-
judice must continue; but the sooner the deIu.
sion is dispelled the better. There are men
in both Houses who are never heard on the
floor, who never open their lips during session
except to report bill and vote, who are far
more important to our natioual welfare than all
the GARRETT DAvIsEs and A. j. ROGERS in crea-
ton. They hold the destiny OF the country in
their hands in the committee room and private
chamber by studying out measures; and the
vast majority of the speaking done is only an
anplldcation OF the ideas instituted by them.
They are the power behind the throne, and but
Tor hem eloquence would degenerate into bun
combe, and the orator be at loss for subject
