Europe.

The news from Europe grows more and more
oelligerent by every new cable despach. In
the despatch of the 2ith Prussia is reported
as saying in reply to appeals to submit the
Luxembourg question to Il Congress of the
powers: This government did not find it
necessary to appeal to the powers for the pro-
lection OF her rights year ago, and she will
not leave Luxembourg now" In yesterdays
dispatches Prussia reiterates her former posi-
tlon- she can take care of herself-she will not
leave Luxembourg. On the other hand, France
has advanced so far in the negotiations with
Holland, that to retreat would be sheer pusl-
lanimity,a and would arouse such an indignation
among the French people that no government
could weather the storm day.
80 the dispatches say war is regarded on
ali sides as inevitable, and France and Prussia
are arming with all their might.
From Washington there is also despatch
that letters received at the State Department
say there SIS no hope Of avoiding collision
between France and Prussia The proposed
national congress at Paris, for mediating pur-
poses, is expected to prove as futile as the one
which met to avert the war between Prussia
and Austria. American exhibitors at the
Paris exposition are represented as being in
great tribuatlon through fear of the war"
1t will be dreadful struggle. The number
OF men available for war on each side will be
about equal, and certainly not less than mil

The ARGUMENT of the injunction cases be-
fore the Supreme Court at Washington on the
application of Georgia and Mississippi to re-
strain the Secretary of War, Gen. Grant, &c.
from executing the reconstruction law took
place yesterday, on Il motion to dismiss the
case on the ground of want of jurisdiction
The supposition is that the motion will be sus-
tanned. The Court will probably say, as it has
no jurisdiction to enjoin the President, accord
ing to its decision week ago, so it has no
power to enjoin any other executive officer
acting directly under him. Not judgeupon
the bench or respectable lawyer in the country
doubts, If the Supreme Court could be brought
squarely up to the question, but that it must
decide against the constitutionalty of the re-
construction measures, and that it could not
escape from such decision without DISGRACE
But as the Court cannot sanction, so it is most
averse to pronouncing against the law. 1t
would upset the whole radical machinery now
N motion for converting the south into loval
rad. abb states, and so intent are the radicals
on enforcing this tavorte scheme, that they
would probably undertake TO defy the decis-
ion OF the court, and thus lead to endless com
plcations and possibly renewal of the civil
war.

seems to hang heavier in April than usual. and
the large pulls of wind from numerous standard
sheets OF this State haye been fairly non-plussed
by the "big blow from the Ottawa RepabLican of

it is forced measure, and therefore not worthy

calling hard names" The worthy gentlemen
seem to think that, my brief term OF office, wish
to carry out partisan views, and charge me with
making Wendell Phillips pay ten dollars for
lecturing on that account. There is one thing
the editors ought to be ashamed OF, making state
ments relative to the ten dollars" which are
false. They must be i'll advised or else they seek
a quarrel from me, which, of course, they must

necessarily think when a man is assaulted by pub

his only way of defence is through the public
press, which | have done, signing my name to
every article have given to the public. There
is one taIeSlO0d which the editors must take back
or be branded by many as false reporters that
is, the giving back the ''ten dollars" and the
statement that the friends and advisers Of the
mayor caused the money to he returned, with

Glad that his tolsome hours were DER

And the lckeriug fame of the hardware lamp
Went out to the wild, rough gust that beat,

Tired and cold with anthrobbing head

And nothing whatever was credited there.
