styling any interference as dangerous and
unconstitutional, and calculated to cause the
real breach of peace.
The Secretary of the League also wrote
through the papers that no alteration Of the
programme would take place.
The subject was called I'D in Parliament
on the 10Th, in which Mr.. WALPoLE in
dorsed MAYEEs proceedings and assumed its
responsibility. In answer to MILL he ad-
mitted that the prohibition was founded on
the fact that Hyde Park was Royal Park,
and 1t was to prevent a breach Of the peace.
The following particulars Of the prelimi-
nary negotiations for an armistice are given
On the night Of July 18th the Secretary
of the French embassy in Berlin delivered
at the headquarters of the Austrian army
the following proposal on the part of Prus-
STA:
The King of Prussia, in order to allow
time for ascertaining the intention OF the
Italian Government, is ready to abstain
from acts of hostility for three days upon
the following conditions The Austrians
to eyacuate the country between the position
at present held by the Prussians and the
river Thaga Troops of the armies, north
and south, and the Saxon army and all
their trains, artillery and munition to re-
main stationary and to abstain from max
ing movements until the expiration of the
time agreed upon. The Prussians to re-
main at distance of three miles from
Olmuts; and the Prague and Dresden Rail-
road to be opened for the transmission Of
provisions to the Prussian army.
The Austrians reply to this proposal de-
clared that Prussian propositions were pre-
oil 10 Arrcf IL r
Prussia, citing as example, that at a distance
of three miles from Olmutz the Prussians
would be able TO surround the fortresses on
all sides, and that the Italians not being in
Guided in the conditions of the truce would
be able to advance. Austria, therefore,
made counter proposition fixing the line
OF demarcation to be crossed by neither army,
limits within which the several armies
should be allowed the freedom of movement;
the line to follow the course of the Thaga
from Its source to within two miles west of
Laundenburg, to run parallel, and two miles
to the westward of the Laundenburg and
Olmutz Railroad, TO continue as far as the
positions then occupied by the Prussians
and to stop two miles west and north Of the
outer works of Olmultz.
This the King Of Prussia declined, and
said that the sending of commissioners was
needless.
Lord STANLEY said, inanswer to questions,
that England had not offered her services as
mediator between Prussia, Italy and Aus
trla. Her own interests were never less con-
cerned. He had no apprehension of being
drawn into war.
OF cholera, the Pail Mall Gazette says
There caa be no doubt now that cholera,
which has already effected a Judgment in
many of our distant ports, has appeared in
a very troublesome form in London. Thir-
teen cases have been admitted into the Lon
don hospitals, and five deaths have occurred
there this week, and other patients are now
in a precarious state.

NEW YORK, August 1.-The Chinas mail
brings full particulars Of the events which
preceded the reform riots in London, re-
ported by the Atlantic Cable.
On Monday, the 18th Of July, Sir Rich
ARD MAYNE Commissioner Of the Police in
London, issued 4 pointed notice, pointing
out the illegally Of political demonstrations
in Hyde Park, stating that such meetings
we're inconsistent with she purposes for
which the Park was thrown open and used
by the public.
Sir RICHAgD, afler abiding TO the pro-
posed reform gathering on the 23d, init
mated that no assemblage Of persons in
large numbers would be allowed to take
place in tie Park, and that all necessary
measures would be adopted to prevent any
such meeting and effectually 70 preserve the
public peace.
He also addressed letter 10 EDWARD

French Friga .es ordered 10 Mexico for

New York, Aug. European mails,
just arrived, furnish the following facts: Earl
DERBY, in the English Parliament, set forth
the neutral policy of England. She will
not object to German reconstruction in the
shape of a great empire, on BIsSIARCK's plan.
The Prussian Cabinet is flushed with its
proves at Tribster. The anxiety Of NAPo-
LEON and the Gar of Russia for peace is
such as TO cause other than disin!erested
friendship for either the King or his people.
1t is said that if Italy obtains Veuetia and
Rome, England will cede Malta.
The British Government does not object
to reform meetings on principle, but to the
fact of Hyde Park being made the scene of
agitation. Mr.. BEADLE who appears to be
a FEARGUs OCoNNoR, or DAN 0CoNNELL
in embryo, objects very decidedly to the au-
thority Of the Police Commissioners in the
matter.
The French war frigates have been or
dered at Cherbourg to land their guns and
sail for Mexico, and to commence the retire
ment Of the French army.

have issued a proclamation converting the
Convention elected in 1864 Please inform

THE LAW INCREASING CONGRESS.
SIGNAL PAY.

Below will be found the section Of the
civil appropriation law increasing the sala.
ries Of Congressman. 1t will be observed
mileage rate is reduced from forty cents "a
twenty cents per mile, but, that accrued
mileage accounts Chose Of present members
for the session just closed are to be comput-
ed at theformer rates; and that the increased
compensation commences from the first day
Of the present session.
We haveheard no sufficient reason for this
increase Of pay, and it will strike the cOun-
try that it should have been postponed until
the burden Of the war debt could be placed
in a more satisfactory course Of extinction.
The peoples pockets are being drained by
every variety Of expense, and the rates of
taxation are already onerous to the last
degree. There is an unseemliness in this
Congressional draft upon the treasury at the
present time, which IS calculated to provoke
popular disapproval, and we shall be sur
prised if some Of the affirmative voters are
not made sick by the butter which they have
80 lavishly spread upon their own bread.
The section is as follows:
"SECTIoN II. That the compensation Of
each Senator, Representative and Delegate
in Congress shall be $4,000 per annum, to
be computed from the first day Of the pre-
sent Congress, and, in addition thereto, mile
age at the rate of twenty cents per mile, to
be estimated by the nearest route usually
travelled in going and returning from each
regular session, but nothing herein contained
shall affect mileage accounts already accrued
under existing laws. Prorided, that hereaf-
ter mileage accounts of Senators shall be
certified to by the President of the Senate
and those Of Representatives and Delegates
by the Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives and provided further, that the pay Of
the Speaker shall be $4,000 per annum."

THE DAVIDSON COUNTY POLL
ROCKS.

By the Franchise Law any citizen who
voted in either Of three certain elections
named is entitled to suffrage. There are
many hundred citizens in this county who
fall within this category. The poll-books
are conclusive evidence as to who voted in
those elections, and entitled to be registered
and receive certificates thereof These poll
books. we are informed, are in the hands or
Office Of the Secretary Of State. Why they
are there, we cannot tell. It is our impress
sion that the Clerk of the County Court is
the proper custodian Of these books, and that
the Secretary Of State has no more right to
their possession than any other person.
Il has now become Of the highest import
anoe 10 the public that these poll-boaks
should be in their proper place, in order
that the people Of the county may have the
use and benefit Of them in asserting their
rights. The Office Of the Commissioner Of
Registration, It is stated, twin be closed in
about two weeks. Il is time these books were
in their proper place. 1t is the duty Of the
County Court Clerk, if we are correctly in
formed, to demand these books Of the pres
ent improper custodian, and place them
where those interested can readily have the
use Of them. The public require that this
should be done without another days delay.
We trust the Clerk viii act this morning,
and give public notice that he has the poll
books. If this is not done, then it is the
duty Of the County Judge 60 make an order
upon the person whose duty tits to keep the
poll-boolSs, TO seS.ire their possession, and to
have them where they can be used by our
sitiEens.
It's serious matter, and We hear con-
slant and not always mild complaints that
these books are not where they shoulG be.
