but once, and that once with an express
sion of regret. In stating that its friendly
relations with the Berlin Cabinet autho-
rized it to hope for a favorable solution
of the Luxembourg question, the French
Government has given clearly TO under
stand that, in this respect, il has expert
enCed a complete deception, for Prussia
has conceded everything to the pressure
of Europe which she refused TO the
friendship and moderation of France.
There can be no doubt, then, hat a
GOODNESS 10 the relations between the Two
Governments is the result. Besides
having the right on lts side, France has
the advantage of having behaved hand
somely throughout. This is manifest
from the Minister Of Foreign Affairs
repeatedly pointing our her anxiety to
make all the declarations calculated "to
spare the just susceptibilities Of Prussia,
and "to remove all cause of conflict
And assuredly the Minister would not
have dwelt upon the moderation of
France and her alacrity in leaving to
Europe the settlement of the difference
were he not sure of the testimony which
the other Governments were ready to
bear to French policy in the communica-
tons to their respective Parliaments.
The manner in which Prussia responded
to the courtesy Of France may be Judged
by her attitude in the London Confer
ence, and especially by the impotence
with which the proposition for a general
disarmament was received by her Pleni-
potentiary. This conduct, towards a
Government whose general friendly dis
position and good offices in the wars of
SchlesWig and Germany she was the first
to acknowledge, was more significant
when contrasteG with the goodwill and
the reputable and friendly sentiments" of
the other Powers which interfered in
order TO pacify and to terminate this
difference.
NJ. de Moustier alluded on two occa-
sions to this attitude of the other Powers
as regards France, and the French peo-
pie are warranted in accepting it as n
proof Of the justice of their cause, and Of
the confidence with which The policy Of
their Government inspired all the Courts,
by its moderation in maintaining lis
rights, and its dislnterestedness and
they may also find in it the proof of
the energetic efforts which Europe must
have made 10 bring Prussia to renounce
her pretensions. That war was immi-
nent is now admitted by the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs. If it did not break out
it was because Prussia was convinced
that she would be left to deal single
handed with France, and this conviction
of Prussia is the principal result of the
London Conference.
If we may believe the letters from
various parts of Germany published in
the Paris papers, the movement in favour
of peace between all European nations
is on the advance The Central Com
mittee of the Volkspartei of Wurtemburg
have published their manifesto against
war. They assert that the French
and German peoples are called upon
to serve in common the cause of de-
mocracy and civilization Their inau-
ence on the destinies of other nations,
and the lustre of their future progress,

THE GREAT RELIGIOUS AND ED
UCATIONAL MOVEMENT.

The past year has been remarkable one
for advancing the cause Of religion and the
educational interests connected with the DIFF
ferent denominations. 1t is well known the
Methodists celebrated their centenary jubilee
last year. Two things were kept prominently
before the Church--the promotion Of revi-
walls and the work Of church extension and
an increase Of educational facilities, espe-
cially for theological training. The statis-
tics of the Church, which are carefully col
lected from year to year, showed at the open
ing Of the year 1866, that the aggregate
membership Of the body was about 100000.
Great desire was felt to wind up the grand
centenary year with the round count Of
1000, 900 of members. Accordingly the ju.
bilee year opened with special devotional
services, which were continued more or lest
during portion Of the year, SO that by the
time the annual statistics were made up, thu
roll Of Church membership reached over on
million. Besides the liberal endowment anC
founding Of universities and colleges, elegan
churches have been erected; embarrassing
debts on churches have been liquidated
many edifces have been remodelled, and ii
numerous instances provision has been mad,
for the erection Of parsonages worthy Of tn,
Church and the age.
The same spirit, we are pleased to note
prevails among all the denominations, boil
in church extension and educational matters

PROBABLE MURDER. - The Springfield

the circumstances Of the death Of DR.. HENRY
A. HOWE, Of Amherst, at house Of ill-fame
at Holyoke, who was reported to have died
on Monday in fit, aggravated by blunder-
ing surgery on the part of the inmates Of the
house, afford strong reasons for belief that it
was caused by foul play. When the body
was removed blood was found under the
shoulder, and subsequently wound in the
back, apparently made by a pistol ball, was
discovered. The body also bore evidence Of
violent kicks and blows.

SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG Our
YoUNo MEN.-For some days past one Of
the ablest Of our judges has been engaged
in trying a series Of criminal cases, which,
although not singular in their details, can
hardly fail to startle the public when it is
known that nine in every ten Of the crimi,
nails have been young men, in many instances
mere boys.
Nothing is to be gained by binding our
selves to the real state Of the case, and the
solemn truth is before us that our peniten
tiaries and State prisons are rapidly being
filled with young men under the age O
twenty-five. Only yesterday Judge Daniels
passed sentence on three young men Of nine
teen, one Of twenty, and one Of twenty-thret
years of age, the terms Of imprisonment, in
these five instances, aggregating nearly II
years.
During the morning young man was con
victed Of q deadly assault upon q friend, ant
in the afternoon boy belonging to one o
our public schools told story which will
have terrible import to those parents wht
reflect that the same avenues to crime ar,
open to their sons, and the same villains Ii,
in wait for them.
WThere is something radically wrong in thu
condition Of society, when such things a
these are of daily occurrence. We merel,
state the facts. Our readers must make tn,

The banks in front Of the Doherty and
Smith farms, just below the city, caved in
yesterday, to the width Of one hundred feet.
The cave ct Doherty's farm has nearly
reached his dwelling, and fears are enter
tanned that it will slide into the river before
the caving is checked. The new road lately
purchased by the county has been destroyed
It was forty feet wide, and cost the county
$1,000. 1t is thought that another rise in the
river will cut channel through the bottom,
Just above Smiths farm, to Middle creek.
II such be the case, the splendid farms below
the city will be washed away. This, indeed,
would be an irreparable calamity, not only
to the owners Of these productive farms, but
to every citizen in New Albany, as our mar
ket is mostly supplied with vegetables from
them. We hear Of a number Of other vari-
GUS slides along the river below the city. At
Hiram Bences place, we understand, acres
Of land have been washed into the river. A
well, which stood in the yard near Mr.. Bences
house, has been carried away entire, the
brick, windlass, and hole all disappearing.
II is reported that before the well sunk o
rumbling noise like that made by the rushing
of water over q milldam, was heard for sew
eral minutes. The well and windlass first
sunk out Of sight, and then the GROUND, with
in the space Of an acre around it, slid off into
the river. This is o very singular occur.
renee, If true. 1t was told to us by reliable
gentleman.
The loss by these slides will amount to
thousands Of dollars and if the fears enter.
tanned by many in regard to the river cutting
through to Middle creek are realized, the
damage will be frightful. - New Albany

A MAN AND Two CHILDREN ScALDED TO
DEATH.-Last Wednesday evening sad acct
dent happened at the house of Mr.. Henry
LANCE, No. 7l9 North Water street, between
Brown and Coates streets, in the Eleventh
ward. He was butcher, and manufactured
sausage meat for the city markets. His
family consisted of his wife, two sons, Fred,
erick and John, aged three and five years,
and baby several days old. He was ma
tive Of Hesse- Cassel, and arrived in this
country about six months ago. About 7
o'clock on Wednesday night Mr.. Lange went
into the cellar to look after the fires, taking
his two little boys with him. While thus en-
gagged, large kettle used for boiling hogs
broke from its fastenings, throwing guam,
tity of boiling water over the man and his
two sons, and scalding them horribly. Their
shrieks brought immediate aid, but although
medical care was at once afforded, all died in
a short time.---Philadelphia Age, 3Oth.
