The Tribune's special says the Department
Of State TO. day received voluminous dis
patches from our Ministers in England and
France. While they do not contain as late
advces as are daily brought by the cable.
they represent pretty fully the condition OF
affairs. and show conclusively that that
general European war can scarcely be
avoided.
The Emperor Napoleon has been engaged
for several months making gigantic naval and
military preparations, and 1t IS alleged that
the feeling is now so universal among
the French people for a collision that it has
passed beyond the Emperor's control.
The Times special says the Treasury De
partment has been officially informed that

Cowan, of Pa, has been appointed special

1t is reported that in consequence Of re-

The Tribune special says Surratt is not

The Worlds special says it is believed
Gen. Sheridan has telegraphed for permls-

the opinion he has not power under the Re
construction act to make such removals. The
Attorney General is preparing an opinion on
the disfranchisng clause.

At meeting of the citizens Of Atlanta, held
recently, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, A plan of reconstruction has
been rendered the South, through the Law
making power Of our Government, whereby
peace may be restored to our weary and un-
happy people, therefore,
Resolred, That in the opinion Of the meet
ing, reconstruction upon the plan proposed
by Congress is decidedly preferable 10 res
manning in our present unsettled and paral-
yzed condition, aud we cordially invite the
whole people OF Georgia to cooperate with
us in accepting said legislation without delay
or hesitation.
Th HeroTs special SAYS that at public
meet ing of the citizens of Farlow county,
Geo, -gia, the following resolutions we're unan
imo usy adopted:
F'esotred. That we view with astonishment
and deep regret the attempt of c. j. Jenk-
ins to renew our difficulties, and invite fur
thtr legislation by the United States Con-
gri,ss.
Resolred, That having seen the desolaton
and suffering caused by such advisers IN the
past, we are determined, by the assistance Of
our worthy District Commander, Gen. Pope,
that this people in the future shall ever show
a willingness to abide by the decision of q
majority OF the voters of the United States,
and obey the laws given to them by our Con.
gress.
Resolred, That the class Of politicians who
have brought ruin upon our country are no
longer worthy of the support Of a free peo-
pie that their suggestions are only equaled
in impotence by their former attempts at Sc
cessou, and that in the future we will trust

Midnight Report.
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April q.
The health of Thaddeus Stevens is much
improved. He expects to leave for Penusyl.
vanis next week. He to-day wrote a letter
for publication, taking for bis subject the fol-
lowing extract from notice oil Senator Viii
sons recent speech near Hampton Roads:
"He (Wilson) said there would be no i'm
pediment to Southern representation IN Con-
gress if they elected Union men, and closed
his remarks by saying he would leave Eir-
ginia with the full conviction thst Repubi-
can Governor, Legislature, and two Senators
would be elected.
Mr.. Stevens-Mr. Editor: Such articles
as this are calculated to do much harm.
They throw distractions in the way of future
reconstruction. The paragraph quoted was
relied upon as pledge by the Republican
party; hence much trouble arises. From
certain loose and indefinite expressions CON
tanned in bill which was reported By the
Reconstruction Committee of the 39th Con-
gress, though never passed. II was prevent
ed by faction and folly in argument against
the whole party in Congress. This generally
arises from the carelessness ofreporters, and
sometimes from inadyertence of the speaker.
No man should make promises for a party.
