"Mr. Greeley and JEFF. Davis.''
From the Tribune.


The Times, under this head, says:-
"It is hard to understand Mr.. Greeley. He is
opposed to the imprisonment OF Mr.. DAVIS. But. II
tired and found guilty, Mr.. Greeley would be sill
more Oppos' d to his execution; Tor he objects to
hanging ANYBODY. The only other alternative IS to
awe cannot see that il is shameful to mprlson a
great criminal, and one who not only imprisoDe led,
but tortured, starved and poisoned, tens OF thou
sands OF Union soldiers, even II nc did not sanction
the assassination of resident Lincoln
There IS but one consistent way OF explaining
Mr. Greeev's course; which IS that having IN
Vited and encouraged DAVIS and others 10 20 INTO
rebellion, he teels bound not only to go bail for
them but do what he can Ior their release.
But then, whe so willing TO lot the leaders go,
why IS he so hostile to The masses of Rebels, and
evon 10 loyal Southern menY why, if the leaders
are forgiven does he oppose the restoration OF
brotherhood among the peopleV'
Notes by the Tribune.
If Jefferson Davis is great criminal" )" who
has tortured, starved, ana poisoned tens Of
thousands OF Union soldiers" lUhy is he not
tried? Why has he been kept fifteen months in
prison. without being even indicted? The
Times is in the confidence OF the President and
the Secretary OF State. Can it not invent some
kiud of reason, preteXt, excuse, apology, for
the persistent neglect even to lndict Davis for
the fragrant crimes whereof he is accused
aboveY Why should such a notorious gigantic
criminal as Davis is charged with being be
counsel and when at last they get into court
ard plead for a trial, they be sent away without
even a promise that they shall soon be brought
face to tace with Jury?
We cannot help regarding the imprisonment
Of DAVIS as a swindling farce and cheat He has
been kept immured long that only the wifully
blind can tail to see that there Is no purpose TO
| try him with any intent TO convict. He Is kept
| in iail awaiting favorable time to let him out.

Long before hostilities commenced between

believed in political circles that, if the sove.
reigns of the last-named States should enlarge
their territorial possessions, the Emperor Napo

their kingdoms to him, in order to restore the

EurOpe-The Threatening Aspect of Affairs

EurOpe-The Threatening Aspect of Affairs.
From tie Times.
At no period, either before or during the
sharp and decisive German conflict, has the
situation in Europe presented darker aspect
than it does now. We have London news by
the cable of yesterdays date. We have CONT
mental reports scarcely forty-eight hours old.
And unless we are altogether deceived as to the
sources of the intelligence thus brought hither,
the grand contestlforlposition,I ,Ior influence, and
for permanent political ascendancy in Europe
is only just opening.
The quarrel, from being primarily German,
Or in a measure civil conflict bids fair to
develop into q Gallo-Prussian War-ostensibly
for the revision of boundary line marked out
barely fifty years ago-but, in reality, for the
status and dignity OF leadership in Continental
Europe. The demands for territorial compen-
sation submitted to Prussia by the French
Cabinet, of which we had positive and distinct
announcement in Mondays telegram, are to
be met, according to a semi-official Berlin
Journal by a prompt refusal. These demands
the Prussian organ, which speaks for Bismarck,
Characterizes as absurd" It reminds the
Government of the Emperor, that in the Ger
man quarrel France has had nothing at stake
And the tone in which this Is SAID as clearly
indicates defiance as any semi.otlclal alter
ance from Prussia since the conflict began.
Italy, meanwhile, will apparently cease to
continue party to the quarrel, by the cession
of Venetia, to which the Government OF Vienna
has consented; the term OF the armistice
between that power and Austria having been
extended. In that result, the new conflict
would be one involving the question of German
solidarity and strength, as against French
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and modern C9sarism. In
such contest Bismark would, doubtless, carry
with him far more OF the sympathies of Liberal
men throughout the world than he has done
hitherto.

The trustees say of the Seminary:
This Institution was organized in the yea,
1880, and consequently is one Of the oldest OF
the kind west of the Mountains. During it,
entire history it has enjoyed large measure
Of public favor. 1t has been blest IN its Prin

the number of several hundred, have gradua

have not attained TO graduation. have pursued
their studies here in various branches of use

over the West, and not few of them have
honored the Institution BY exemplary use

"We humbiy believe this Institution is now
entering upon cburse of greater prosperity

connection, in referring to the arrange ment
recently made with Prof Gilbers Thsyer, 70
whom the entire educational and financial in
terests OF the Institution have been eon6ded
for term OF ten years. Nearly one year has
pa ssed since this arrangement WIS made, and
with the very best promise Of success. We
