Probable Settlement of the French and
Prussinm Difficulty.

1t is reported by Atlantic Telegraph that
Il proposition is now under consideration
to make7 the GrandsDuchy of Luxembourg
neutral territory, as the readiest means Of
avoiding war between France and Prussia.
We are not informed what Powers have the
matter under consideration, or whether the
proposal came from Napoleon or from Bis
marck. It is not unlikely, however, that
the Emperor of France may have suggest
ed such measure, as the least humiliating
way of releasing himself from the trap into
which he has so incautiously put his head.
The naturalization of the coveted territory
would at most only delay the execution Of
his plans, while it would afford a decent
pretext for withdrawing his demands for
the present. AS the Duchy, though be-
longing to the King of Holland, is indie
pendent of that Kingdom, and is valuable
to France and Prussia for it's fortress only,
the proposition to make it neutral territory
would appear to be entirely feasible, sup
posing it to have the assent of the Powers
directly interested-each mentally reserv-
ing the right to regard that neutrality
just as long as it may be for its interests to
do so.

mated, although the election for city Off
GERS is yet some months hence. Accord
ing to the account which we find in the
Newbern Commercial the proceedings of
the meeting were characterized by degree
of mystery which is quite sc I'm understand
able to the more decent portions Of that
community. The nominees for Mayor and
Aldermen are all white men, or at least they
pass for such, while not one colored person
appears among them. This was certainly
great oversight in those who composed the
meeting, and had best be remedied without
much ado.
Altogether, we think that this little gath
ering has been in too much of hurry to
show its love of the flesh pots of authority,
and that the proceedings will meet with
but little appreciation from the master Rad
icals of the North. The call of the New
York Tribune for an early and complete Or
ganization of the political elements of its
party at the South, most undoubtedly seems
to expedite matters somewhat.
At all events, the time for this public dis
play of patriotism has hardly yet dawned
sufficiently upon any portion of the Old
North State.

nation, or for personal preferences, but
'E organization should be made now. The
GO problem is to reconstruct the South so
g that its electoral vote shall be cast for
"progress. While the South is being re-
" constructed into States, We should recon-
&c struct the politics Of the States"
Can any doubt now that the necessity for
action on the part of the people of the
South is an imperative one, and that every
energy which can possibly be brought into
requisition will he needed to combat
Northern wiles and Northern fanaticism?
The early and growing alarm among the
political leaders Of the Radical element is
the best encouragement to success that the
Conservative party could desire. A prompt
unanimity OF action among our own people
under the present aspect OF affairs, would
doubtless go far towards obtaining that
national peace within the Union that the
Destructionists OF the country deny us now
without is limits. - Fight the devil with
fire" is 3 rough, but none the less true,
maxim, and the identical means by which
it was proposed that We should be over
come, may vct prove tho very laeasure Of
our political salvation.

baltimore Presentation Concert.

MCSSrS. /. I. Palmer y Co, managers
of tie Grand Presentation Concert of Bal
timore, for the benefit Of Southern Or
phans, have issued d circular to the public
announcing that, sin consequence of late
prosecutions, they arc under the necessity
of postponing the Concert until tho 18th
of June next. The circular, in an apparent
spirit of franknesS and honesty, goes on to
state rs follows
''This will give us ample time to dispose Of all
the tickets and it will afford the public Oppor
tunity to investigate the facts which have pub
lished, thus gaining that confidence which is ne
cessary to ensure the success OF every public
measure.
''We do not wish these statements to be taken
unsubstantiated as we cordially invite an iuyes
tigatiOn of the CtcrpriZC. The grand jury OF this
CITY presented U.s. and we hoped that they would
go further and indct us, for We wished to prove
to the world our honesty and Observation-Disclosures III
this measure, which could not be better done than
in an investigation by the grand inquest.
g.. 1t now remeins with the public whether the
Home and School shall be built. Whether the
poor fatherless children of the South, whose pa
rents blood shed in defence of Southern homes
shall be deprived of the blessings which this enter
prize seeks to obtain for them. Must we appeal
IN vain? No. it shall not be said that the Southern
people were so unSenerous as to condemn those
who are seeking to benefit the children or the SOL
diers who died for them, upon the evidence Of
men who, when they saw their own mercenary
aims frustrated sought to cover their guilt by
bringing charges on Us. Charges which, in the
only trial that was allowed US, were proved to be
as false as perjury could make Them
We think that postponement in view
of the present circumstances is wise. The
charges brought against some of the officers
of the Association, will receive full in
vestigation and the public given the bene-
fit of the investigation. If false, as they
at present appear, they will thus be shown,
and confidence in the Association will again
be established.

A Love Story.

When Marshal Bazaine left the city Of
Mexico with the French army, his nephew,
Lieutenant Adolphe Bazaine, was about to
be married to beautiful Mexican signori
ia. In the hurry of their departure, how
ever, it was not found convenient to cele-
brate the nuptials. 1t was, therefore, ar
ranged that the young lady should follow
her lover to Orizaba, and that the wedding
should take place there. Meanwhile the
Liberals closed in upon the retiring French
troops and occupied the whole country,
stopping the mails and travel. This was
bad state of things, but nothing is impos-
sible to true lover. Armed with pass
port, which stated the object of his retro
grade journey, the young lieutenant start
ed out alone for the city of Mexico, passed
through the Liberal army and numerous
bands of banditti, which chivalrously open
ed right and left to let him pass, and bore
off his bride safely to France.

DemoraIfZa alton of 4ayti.

The latest news from Hayti confirms the
previously reported flight of Geffrard to
jamaica after having sent in his resigna-
ton of the Presidency of that stormy re-
public. The election of another President
was expected to take place Immediately af-
ter the departure of Geffrard. he history
of Hayti since the negro population obtain
ed lis freedom has been series of sanguin-
airy revolutions and civil wars, and the
country is probably in a worse condition
now than ever before. The negro leaders
have never shown themselves capable of
agreeing upon or establishing anything
like sound and substantial government.
Life and property have always been ex-
ceedingly insecure and the constant dan
ger of new revolutions has tended to keep
the country in deplorable condition If
the African race had any capacity for self
government they had the best possible OPP
portunities of developing these talents in
Hayti, where they have had things their
own way for more than twenty years past.
The trouble appears to be that their own
way is a very disorderly and rebellious one.
They have gone backwards in morals and
education, and have attained proficiency in
none of the arts of civilization except that
of war and political intrigue Under their
own management their property and credit
have alike deteriorated in value, and the
nation has made itself an object of pity to
those who expected better things of the
race, and of ridicule to those who under
stood them better and foresaw the result of
the wild experiment of negro self-govern-
ment The normal condition of the negro
is such IL 1T it is only by constant associa-
ton with 'uperior races that anything like
civilization can be impaired to the race
Even after such advantages there is an in
evltable tendency to relapse into barbarity
when the elevating influence is withdrawn.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Construction of the Dis
qualifying Clause of the Reconstruction
Bill.
RICHMOND, Va, April 10, 1867.-General
Schofeld has informed member of the
Virginia House of Delegates that the dis
qualification to vote or hold Office does not
apply, under the reconstruction bill, to
persons who were forced into the rebel SER
vice by CONSUMPTION, Notwithstanding that
they had taken an oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States, and served
IN any OF the capacities enumerated in the
prescribed form of oath. This will reduce
the number of persons disqualified to vote
or hold Office to very small D,argin. The
disqualification will be confined altogether
to those who volunteered in the early part
of the war, few of whom are now living
The survivors are principally of the CON
script class, save perhaps few officers who
held rank from the beginning, and obtained
their commissions BY appointment.

Good Friday in Rome.

OF the many enchanting descriptions
Rome, and especially of the wonderful and
world renowned Mserere in the Sixtine
Chapel, none have we ever found to equal
in descriptive pathos the following, which
we extract from Madame LIE Vert's Souve-
Mrs of Travel
''When the mass was over we wandered
through the vast aisles of st. Peters until
two o'clock, when we returned to the Six
tine chapel. During the morning we had
made acquaintance with several charming
and noble Italian women, who invited us
to accompany them back to the chapel, that
they might give us good places to hear the
NSerere. They told Us the throng to lis
ten to this famous chant quite equalled the
fierce crowds of the preceding day. Hence
we gladly protittcd by their Kindness and,
seated with them, awaited tho hour of four,
when the Pope and his suite of cardinals
entered. SEQ Naples, and die !" say
its enthusiastic people ; and all who
have rcvclled lii the enjoyment of
that musical wonder, the Mserere,
may in the same feeling listen, and then
for ever close their ears. One by one the
fifteen candles burning upon the triangle
were extinguishcd, and a dim twilight filled
the chapel, throughout which a deep
silence prevailed. Suddenly from a dark
recess stole forth n sweet and tender vail
ing cry, like the murmur of breaking
heart An electric thrill seemed to strike
to my very soul, as l sank upon NY knees
while the coro (chorus) chsnted in touch
ing strains ''Christ is gone ! we are or
phans-all orphans y Again and again
the atmosphere aroudd us quivered with
the long wild note of anguish and the
answering voices of the coro now swelling
in to tempest of signs and sobs and then
melting to the softest and faintest echo,
like an Eolian harp. The hour, in it's twi-
light gloom, and the strange and mournful
melody, were fearfully sublime. Tears burst
from my eyes, summoned from the deep
heart by the spell of that plaintive voice
leading the sacred chant
i" This world-renowned Misere5'e was COM
posed more than two centuries ago, by
Gregorio Allegri, priest, and singer in
the Pope's chapel. Since that period it has
been the wonder and the attraction of mil
lions of enraptured listeners. But nowhere
save in the Sixtine chapel, with it's effective
surroundings, can this chant produce the
same bewildering and impressive charm
Indeed, story exists that Leopold the
First, Emperor of Austria, asked of the
Pope copy of this Miserere. It was Civ
en- to him, and upon his return to Vienna
he commanded all the finest musicians to
sing it in the cathedral. So entirely differ
ent did it sound to him, that he instantly
wrote back to Rome, saying he had been
deceived, and dull commonplace music
sent to him in place of the wonderful Ms
erere. Inquiries were made, and the chapel
master testified to the correctness of the
Cow Il l. Il
is evident, although grand composition,
it looses half of its dramatic power when
heard elsewhere than in the Sixtine cha
mel
