One Day Later from Eur0pc-France and
pruasiu.

One Day Later from EurOpc-Frnnce and
Prussia.
We publish this morning ono day later
European intelligence by The Atlantic cable.
The leading features of this news are that
France will probably turn over the late
Austrian province Of venctia, with it's cities
and fortresses including the Queen Of
the Adriatic, to King Victor Emanuel
and that Bavaria, shorn Of y slice OF her
territories, has concluded o treaty OF peace
with Prussia. So far as Vcnetia is concerned
the solution made was inevitable from the be-
ginning; but the interesting question, what il
to be the compensation OF Napoleon, still
remains unanswered. Bavaria has had lucky
escape. and ought to be thankful for the mag
nanimity of Prussia in being satisfied with 10
little when she might have swallowed up the
kingdom.
The work OF Bismarck in consolidating the
States and principalitcs of Germany under the
Prussian government goes bravely on. In his
practical Interpretation Of the peace prclimi-
naries entered into with Austria Europe Il
beginning TO recognize the wonderful success
of his game Of diplomacy with Louis Napoleon
for the reciifiation OF the European equilibrium.

IMPORTATION OF GOLD.--Our European des-
patches in yesterdays HERALD contained the
announcement that half million in gold had
been shipped from England TO New York.
When we take into consideration the fact that
our imporia,ions OF merchandise are nearly
double those OF last year, and third greater
than in 1864. this return of gold may he con-
sidered somewhat extraordinary. Bri. re-

MopE 70 INCREASE THE REVENUE AND
some time ago in the HERALD that considcra-
bic addition to the revenue Of the city could be
made by converting the thousands Of acres of
now worthless swamp lands lying on the water
fronts around the island into good arabic
ground, by reclaiming them from the flow OF
land, which do not pay dollar oftaxaiion into
the public treasury, available for this purpose.
as well rs enhancing very largely the value Of
property now lying idle. In a sanitary point
Of view we also urged the necessity ofdraining
these tracts Of swampy ground, which breed ma
larious diseases from ihc niasna arising from
them. We are glad 10 learn that our suggcs-
tions have directed the attention of science 10
this project, and tina. plan has been adopted
by which the million or more acres of this ma
larious ground. surrounding us on the North
and East rivers, may be reclaimed.
We understand that practical engineers have
decided that by sinking u wall or dyke Of iron
plates, with water-tight joints. 10 low water
level around the margin Of the swamps, so as
10 stop the tidal flow, they can be completely
dried in one season, and msde valuable for
dairy farms and other useful purposes, and will
possess an alluvial soil Of remarkable fertility.
II is not necessary 10 say that II this idea is
carried into practical operation--as We are
informed II soon will be, nader n patented
plan--thc public will derive great benefit from
II in many ways. especially in throwing so
much more taxable property into tho hands q
the city and State governments, thus reducing
the taxes on other real estate, and minstering

large pssiiferous districts almost at our very
doors. IL science. skin and capital can acbiese

tically that historical and somewhat important
little monarchy of the German family has
ceased to exist.
Germany, north Of the river Main, Is turned
| over into confederation under Prussia and
Germany south Of the Main into an independ-
ent confederacy subject by agreement with
Austria 10 absorption by Prussia as soon as
she can conveniently settle upon the terms
with the States concerned. In view of this
formidable expansion of Prussia, Napoleon
demands of Bismarck the enlargement of France
to the Rhine. The demand is emphatically re-
jected, and Napoleon answers, every well, all
right" and says that his demand was only made
in Difference to the expectations of the French
people. England next desires to know IL he
has made rcquisition for certain fortresscs in
Belgium. He answers no, and that he has no
idea of any such demand. He hopes, however,
that Prussia will not undertake to appropriate
any of the German territories south of the
Main; and thus, baffied and defeated on every
side, stands the late arbiter OF Europe.
But there may be in this hint in regard to
Southern Germany and in the reported de-
mand OF Napoleon for fortress or two in that
quarter, wrestcd from France by those detested
treaties of 1915, the germ Of another conflict,
which will decide whether France or Prussia
is master of the situation in Central Eu-
rope. From present appearances Bismarck
would not shrink from this conflict; but it
would really seem that he rather desires il than
fears it. Tie evidently feels that Prussia has
no longer any favors to ask Of France, and
perhaps he may think, TOO, chat a brush with
her would consolidate all Germany under the
government of Prussia and make the whole
German family rs much a national unit as thc
people Of France.
The prestige which Napoleon has lost in his
Mexican adventure affords something OF an
advantage to his political adversarics in
France; but this drawback is a mere bagatelle
compared with the result Of his late game of
diplomacy and war in Germany. Herein the
supporters Of his empire and dynasty are seri-
ously disappointed, and, to recover his ground
among them, he may, sooner than is generally
expected, be compelled to advance bis army
to the Rhine. Hence the Importance which
we attach to every changing phase of the
European situation from day to day. The
work Of peace and Prussian consolidation in
Germany goes prosperously on; but until Ma
poleon shall have secured something in the
general rectfcaton to the advantage Of
France, peace in Europe may be regarded as
exceedingly doubtful. From his present pro-
fessons and concessions the empire is a model
of peace /; but looking at the interests of his
people and their restless character, all these
professions and concessions are only for the
passing day.

GRAND RECEPTION FOR PRESIDENT JoHNsoS.-
The Empire City has on various occasons dis
tinguishcd itself In doing honor to visitors Of
note, but we shall be much surprised If the
reception that will be given to Andrew John
son next Wednesday by our citizens will not
transcend everything that we have heretofore
done in that line. We notice that General
Sanford has issued an order--published In our
columns this morning--in reference to the mill
tary part Of the celebration. That COM

on such occasions 10 the Executive
head Of the nation. But IL Is the enthus-
asm which the great body Of ihe people will
manifest towards Mr.. johnson On his first offcial

The BALTIMORE NATIONAL LABOR CONGRESS
A New PoMFIcAL PARry.--Thcre has been in
session for the last day or two at Baltimore
workingmen's assemblage under the name and
style OF the National Labor Convention. 1t is
political organization, having for its imme-
date object the agitation Of the eight hour
days labor question, and proposing thst $50
far as political action il concerned each
locality should be governed by it's own policy,
whether Tin our political eectons) to run an
independent ticket Of workingmen, or to use
political parties already existing; but at al
events to cast no vote except fer men pledged
to the interests of labor" Another resolution
of the convention proposes that that league OF
workingmen shall demand that "if convict labor
cannot be entirely abolished, the samy COM
pensation shall be demanded by the United
States and the respective States OF alT con
tractors securing convict labor as that paid in
the workshops outside Of the prisons" Va
rious other reforms in the interests of labor
were proposed, and they are to be agitated BY
a new political party formed of the leagues Of
all the working classes throughout the United
States.
Here, indeed, are the elements for trc-.
mcndous political Organization for good or
evil, and from these proceedings at Baltimore
it is an organization which seems to be already
In practical operation. A political party en-
bracing all the workingmen of the country, ON
the platform of the interests Of labor, is sug-
gestive at once of a political revolution in the
politics and leading political questions of the
day, State and national. The movement, how
ever is not only suggestive of immense power
in our political affairs, but ofimmense mischief,
If it should fall under the control Of unscrupu-
lous politicians. We have always held that
labor should be fairly rewarded, but that tho
laws between capital and labor, supply and
demand, should be mainly left, like tho
general laws Of trade. to regulate themselves.
But if the workingmen choose to take the field
as political party, we may look--good or
cvil--for q political revolution, and hence we
may expect from this baltimore Convention
the beginning of a shaking up of our political
parties which will soon bring about some very
extraordinary results.

The BuRDELL MURDER.-The Sacramento Bee
learns that an unexpected CLEAN of light has
recently been thrown upon the mysterious muir
der of DR.. Burdell, at New York, in 1857, by
the confession of young man calling himself
Charles H. Golden, while under arrest in New
buryport, Massachusetts,, and in Jail. 1t appears
that be was selected to be her agent in killing
Burdell, but rejected knife given him by the
woman, Mrs. Cunningham, for that purpose,
and escorted one of her daughters to the theater.
On their return, at half-past one, he noticed the
smoky smell in the street; met Mrs. Cunning
ham with a napkin stained with blood; saw
Snodgrass in his room, the be som of his shirt
stained with blood, as he said from the nose
bleed and went to bed feeling that the murder
had been committed. Mex. morning Mrs. Gun,
ningham gave him nine hundred dollars ana toio 70,
him to leave the country-which he DID. Inc

PACIFIC COAST BUSINESS DIREcroRY.-By ref
erence to our advertising columns it will be no.
ticed that Henry G. Langley proposes to issue a
/" Pacific Coast Business Directory early in Ju-
ly. Works of a similar character to this are
now sustained by leading business men in sew
enteen of the Eastern States, and the "New
England Directory" recently published in Bos-
ton, is one of the most successful advertising
mediums ever issued in the United States. 1t is
believed that this Directory can be made an i'm
portant vehicle for the dissemination of valuable
information connected with the business facii-
ties of the Pacific Coast, and that by the addi-
tion of thorough and reliable abstract of the
resources of this coast, the work will be of per-
manent value to every business man in Califor-
MIA, and source of reliable information to the
people of the entire Union. We desire particu-
larly to call the attention of all business men
to this enterprise. Mr.. S. d. Whitaker, agent
for the work, will visit the county soon.
