THE LAST NEWS FROM Europe.

The important adviccs which we publish this morn
ing from Europe fully confirm the view which we
took of the situation yesterday The sensational re-
ports about an armed Intervention on the part oi
France are officially contradicted by the NoaHeHr'
which declares that the best Of feeling continues 20
prevail between France and Prussia. In other words
France has not deemed it safe to pass beyond DIP
lomatic interference and the suggestion OF pans oi
compromises and reconciliation
The report of the armed mediation had been
started BY an official paper of the Austrian Govern
ment, and It's prompt dsayoWal py rance n"Ao' II
almost certain that Austria cannot rely upon any
thing more than the moral support Of France. The
latest dsnatches even intimate that France has come
70 an understanding with Prussia and Italy about the
nron,sitions to be made to Austria. The main points
NJ tb, agreement are the exclusion Of Austria from
the German Confederation which would be placed
under the control of Prussia but on the other hand
the continuance Of Austria as great power OF
Europe, with all her present dominions, save Nene-
tia and perhaps the Southern Tyrol, which Italy,
embroidered by its recent success now claims IN
addition 10 Venetia.
Propositions OF this kind have been submitted to the
Cabinet Of Vienna, which, however, rather than
abandon her position in Germany, will again resume
the war. The Government officially announces that
the French mediation has failed and that another
effort must be made to the position OF Austria as
a great Power. The utmost efforts are again made TO
reinforce the armies and the friends of Austria once
more indulge the hope that she will find it easier to
replenish her armies than Prussia and that IN TINS
circumstance there is still strong ground OF hope
for ultimate success.
II is superfuous TO state that these efforts to restore
confidence in the Austrian meet with no success
The Prussian Government has gained success which
is almost without parallel in the history Of the world
and which has startled not only all Germany but the
neirbboripr nations. No one thinks that Austria-

SOUTHERN LOYALIsTs AND NORTH
RRN REPUBLICANS.

The Ecening Post has Of late dealt many foul blows
at the great party which it has determined to desert
and Of possible) destroy; but it exceeded itself yes
terday in complaining that Southern loyalists have
been systematically excluded from the councils of the
Republican party The Post most unfairly asks:
why are the Southern oyass entirely neglected by
the managers Of the Republican pry' Why have her BEEN
no invitation gone out from the managers Of the party
authorized spokesman to Southern men to organize in their
States a Southern wing Of the Republican partyi'
Ansuer-The Republican party, as such, has held
exactly three National Conventions: j. At Pittsburgh
in February, 1856; g At Philadelphia in June of that
year; and at Chicago in May or June 1850. Having
attended all these, positively testify that not
only were Southern men not excluded from either
but no others were welcomed more cordially than
those who represented Maryland, Delaware Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri and if any dozen residents OF
Georgia, Louisiana Texas, or other intensely pro-
Slavery States had chosen to send dele
gates, they would have been received with
laundering acclamations. The master-splnt
of our first National Convention was Francis T.
Blair, senior-uot only SOuthron but persistent
Shareholder; and Southrons have been officers Of
every Republican National Convention. Never be-
fore did We hear it limited, even by COpperhead,
that Southeners in sympathy with the Republicans
were not more than welcome to Republican councils.
OF all men who spoke throughout the loyal States
during the War, no one was heard with CREATE in
terest and satisfaction than Gen. a. j. Ham
ilton, a lifelong Southerner then shareholders and
so Of Gen. CAN'T, who had been not only Slave
holder but fighting Rebel. There was never mo-
ment since the Republican party was formed when
Southerners were not invited and welcomed to its
gatherings; and, very lately, we note that Gen. Ham
ilton of Texas, on motion Of Thaddeus Stevens, ad
dressed our Members Of Congress in caucus-a dis
tnction never accorded to Northern man.
The leading Southern loyalists have called Con.
yention TO meet in Philadelphia early in September
Their call invites only souhernsrs; yet good many
of us propose to attend unless they shall intimate that
our presence is undesired. Ifthey should invite u.s.
we venture 10 say that the Convention will be very
large one. Yet it may be best that we should stay
away; in that case they have but to intimate 1t and
their wish shall be obeyed

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

II will be seen from intelligence print this morn
ing that the Great Eastern has once more started on
her important mission in connection with the laying
Of the Atlantic Cable. The auspices have been all
cheering The splice Of the cable had been Completed
without difficulty; l3- miles had been laid, ane the
signals were perfect throughout. II would be prema
ture however to predict success from these things.
Last year the circumstances attending the start Of the
mammoth ship Oh her important voyage were equally
favorable, and yet the enterprise came to grief.
But the conditions under which the attempt
to lay the cable is renewed this year differ from those
Of tho previous attempts and it is in that difference
we see ground for hope that this time success will
crown the persevering efforts Of those engaged in this
mighty undertaking. The lessons Of experience,
taught by past failures, have been turned to profitable
account and every provision which human foresight
could make against failure has been adopted. Should
the antcipaons Of those now engaged in laying the
cable be realized, we may expect to receive exciting
news from Newfoundland before the end Of tle pres
ent week.

HEALTH TrUAsTREs.

Tie epidemic, If % ever reaches us In deadly earnest
will 10 doubt have lessons in store for the public self
ihness which obstructs every measure Of preparation
and protection promised by the Board OF Health. In
the quarter Of Brooklyn where cholera is carrying of
its victims suddenly the Board felt compelled TO seize
upon a vacant building for the purpose Of turning
it into an hospitals; but it is likely
that an Injunction on behalf Of the owner will still
preserve the healthy vacuum Of the building in
question, and back the poor to their death
in the filthy tenement houses. In the same
spirit the Board of Councimen Of this city have
passed a resolution directing the Corporation Coun-
sci to take legal measures to prevent the Health
Board from using any portion Of the Battery for the
erection Of cholera hospitals. II is affirmed that the
Use of the Battery Barracks for hospitalrurposes
would be dangerous to merchants and others
doing business in the neghborhool. But in
what part Of the city would not chcl-
era hospital be regarded dangerous and II
all the slums. back alleys, and tenement
houses in the rear ofour business establishments be-
come haunts ard asylum for the dreaded plague what
then? So far as we informed, the Board OF Health
have not yet attempted to seize the barracks on the
Battery: and so the Of the Board of Council
men looks like an exhibition Of stupid fear and shame
full haste.
TIE epidemic in Brooklyn, small as it is, shows that
the Board of Health should have begun its work OF
preparation and dsinfecton earlier. In that city as
in this the Board has been vigorously resisted by the
authorities; but nevertheless, much more might have
been accomplished had it parceled ont its work ber
ally, and delegated some Of its powers to members Of
the Board But what is now to be done, and to be
done quickly, neither the public nor the Board can
fail 10 perceive.
