THE SITUATION IN EUROPE. The
European journals are engaged in a
serious canvass of the political situa-
ton on the continent-for peace or
war. 1t is said that Germany, pre-
pared for war, really desires peace,
and that to Austria and Russia the
maintenance of peace is an absolute
necessity. Marshal Neil, speaking
for France, asserts that the empire
can preserve its present condition of
quiet, or undertake war as necessary,
and in support of the war idea refers
to the splendid condition of the army
and the immense resources Of the
nation, both in troops and money.
Napoleon evidently "feels good"
since the success of the latest loan;
and probably, having some new de-
sign for ulterior territorial gain in
view, wishes to stand forth again as
master or arbiter of the situation.
Marshal Neil's address may be ac-
cepted as an excellent PREDATORY open
ing of new phase in the mighty
uncertain policy of very uncertain
man

On Monday last, the sheriff Of
Twiggs County, Ga, had occasion,
with posse, to arrest several negroes
engaged in riot the week previous.
One negro attempting to escape was
killed, and the rest gave themselves
up. A great many others, not en-
gagged in the riot, gave themselves
up, being apprehensive that the
white people intended to kill them.
They stated that one JEFF. Long, a
negro, was their district commander,
and they were under his orders, he
being an officer of the Loyal League.

VERMONT ELECTION. Vermont
election took place on Tuesday. In
1860, the majority for Mr.. Lincoln
was 22,972 over all others. In 1864,
the Republican majority for Presi-
dent was 29,09S. In 1866, the majo-
rity of Dillingham;, for Governor,
was 90, 225, and in 1867, 20,18
Vermont is one of the strongest radi-
cal States in the Union. Speaking
of the election, the New York Herald,
of the 3lst, says: If the general cleo
tion which will take place tomorrow,
September 1, in Vermont-the
stronghold of the Republican party
shall result as usual in o radical vic
tory, it will occasion no more sur
prise than the announcement that
the Dutch have taken Holland. The
Republican majorities in Vermont
have ranged, during the past ten
years, from $1,000 to $4,000. Even
decided falling off in the Republi-
can majority this year would perhaps
indicate rather the apathy engender-
ed by over-confidence on the part of
the radical voters than any signifi-
cant change in popular sentiment.
The Vermont election cannot be re-
garded as so important in view of its
bearings on the Presidential cam
paign, as the election which Will take
place in Maine on the 14th inst. The
latter election will be far more deci-
sive and significant

HUMAN SUFFERING. Two men en-
ployed by a gold mining company
to drive a drift on Pine Island, in
Lake Vermilion, Michigan, worked
alone, and one day, about fort
night ago, blast having failed, they
set to drilling it out, without taking
sufficient pains to prevent an explo
sion. The blast went off, and blind
ed and severely wounded both men,
who lay where they were hurt nine
days before assistance reached them.
They were found in horrible state,
with worms preying on theie wounds,
and it is wonderful how they survived
so long. Great loss of blood saved
them from suffering the cravings of
appetite. They are likely to recover.

A RATHER QUESTIONABLE Discus
sIoN.-There is very curious and n
very original discussion going on
just now in the newspapers between
Mr.. Charles A. Dana, of New York,
and Brick Pomeroy, of the far West,
as to the destiny of the soul of Abra-
ham Lincoln. They both appear to
be very positive in their knowledge
of the matter-as positive, in fact,
as if each of them had received his
information by express direct from
the alleged location of old Abe's
spirit. Brick Pomeroy affirms, with
vehemence, that the soul did not 90
up to Heaven, but straight down to
the other place

tions which properly govern the
prudent merchant, she viii fill the
places Of those who follow the exam-
PIE spoken of bS the, Union. Though
there may have been some delayof
tsturns, in some instances, from the
South, arising houf of necessities,
Baltimore will endeavor to keep up
those commercial relations with that
section. which she was prompt to
resume when the condition of the
South was far less hopeful than it is
now, and when the tides Of war were
iust-receding from her wretohedg md
desolate bosom. If Others choose
now to refuse, under the promptings
of mere political vindictiveness, to
have equitable business relations
with the Southern people, the oiti-
zens of Baltimore, the Sun asserts,
will not Initiate their action.
If Southern credit has been de-
ranged, and the full material devel-
opment of the South frustrated, it
has not been the result of the agen-
cies assigned by the Union, but be-
cause radical legislation has disor-
ganized labor and retarded every
industrial enterprise of that section.
The South has suffered, since the
war, not from what has been done
by itself, but from what has been
forced upon it by others. If it had
been left to itself, with its familiar,
practical knowledge of the whole
subject, it would have utilized all its
labor, instead of having it vampire
upon itself and the resources of the
country. It is, undoubtedly, the
fact, that the labor of the South has
been more advantageously managed,
within the last several months, and
is now, where people are left more
to their own action, than at any for
mer period since the war. The cot
ton crop for this year is good, with
fair prices, and the general crops
better than usual. We have always
recognized the fact that the labor Of
the freedmen must be the main de-
pendence of the South, probably for
generations, and, if whites and
blacks are permitted to regulate
their own relations, their mutual
interests will secure Justice end the
prosperity of all. There is, per-
haps, more reason to give pecuniary
credit to the South at this
moment, than at any time since
the war. Her fine crops and the
improvement and hopefulness OF her
labor, under present tendencies
here, are every day putting her in a
more satisfactory financial condition.
And Baltimore, whose existing COM
mercial relations enable her to sur
vey the Southern commercial situa-
tion more accurately than people at
distance, does not share either
the antipathies or the professed
apprehensions of sectionalists or
fanatics.

The FIRST DEBATE IN THE JAPANESE
PARLIAMENTARY Kioto Government
Gazette has reported the first debate
in the Japanese Parliament. The in
auguratioh of Parliamentary discus
sion in Japan, is in itself an event of
equal novelty and Importance. But
the most auspicious omen connected
with this first debate is the fact that,
while most of the members of Parlia-
ment took part in it, call made very
short speeches. We recommend the
brevity of the Japanese speeches to
our own Parliamentary debaters, and
particularly to the new iedged color
ed members OF the Southern Legisla-
lures.

Radical Prescription OF Southern
Trade and Credit. f-
It was stated, in O despatch from
New York, few days since, on the
authority of a paragraph in the
Brooklyn Union, which is said to be,
in some degree, the organ of fsome of
the heaviest dealers in New York,
that q meeting of the leading dry
goods firms of the latter city had
been held, sat which it was resolved
that they would sell no more goods
to merchants in the Southern States,
except for cash, during the present
season." Sincerthen, the Brooklyn
journals article has come 20 hand,
ann the inspiration and spirit of its
announcement are shown by the fol-
lowing extract:
"This is very significant action
on the part of the perspicacious
business men of the metropolis, and
furnishes an example which will,
undoubtedly, be promptly followed
by all merchants dealing in whatever
business with the Southerners. 1t
shows that the threats of another
revolution, in which the Democratic
leaders have 80 literally indulged;
the continued anarchy in which the
rebels have retained many Of the
Southern States; the persistent de-
termination of President Johnson to
prevent the loyal men from govern
ing the South; and the revolutionary
speeches of Frank Blair and of
Southern fire-eaters, who have taken
their cue from him, are having their
effect on loyal merchants at the
North, who. consider their expensive
business interests, the preservation
of the country and their financial Sc
curity of too great value to be haz-
arded among people, many of
whom still owe largely on goods sold
to them years ago, and who have
shown that their loyalty to their
obligations to the country cannot be
relied upon, any more than their
loyalty to their obligations to their
fellOw-merchants.
This is in the true spirit OF fanati-
cism-libelous and pretentious, pro-
scriptive, arrogant and coercive.
Doubtless, there are radical firms of
par excellent virtue, whose members
are of that class who would dominate
not only trade, but religion and poll
tics as well, whose tone and purpose
are thus truly reflected. But it is
difficult to conceive that the usually
sharp merchants of New York are
likely, as Il general thing, under the
influence of sectional prejudice, to
commit such piece of downright
stupidity as the above paragraph
indicates. Certainly, men have the
right to conduct their business in
such way as they deem most judi
cious. But the Brooklyn. paper
must be wrong, when it predicts that
the example" it refers to twill. un-
doubtedly, be promptly followed by
alt merchants, dealing in whatever
business with the Southerners. To
some extent, it may be so; but we
can promise that, while Baltimore
plumes herself on Offering greater
inducements now for Southern and
general interior trade than ever be-
fore, she will be influenced by no
such considerations as those indicated
above. AS far as she is able, looking
only to those legitimate considsra-

There was q grand 9pow-wow and
kick-up in Charleston, among the
friends of would-be Mayor Pillsbury,
on the reception of the news Of the

WHERE THE MONEY CoMEs FROM.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston NeiOs ventilates the fol-
lowing: .. 10
"Iihave reason to believe that G..
w. Swepson, one of the principal, if
not the principal capitalist Of the
National Banks of Columbia, Chez
lotte and Raleigh, is the party, who
has actually loaned the $125, 600 to.
Gov. Scott. Dewey, who is Swep--
sons partner, remarked to o gentle.
man of my acquaintance, that he
went to Scott with the offer, of his
firm. That Scott said he could not
accept because he was under ,obiga-
tions to Kempton, but that Kennpten
was near by, and he would ask him
what he had to say. Scott then told
Kempton that he wanted 1925, 900
within O week. Kempton couldn't
see it, and Scott then closed with the
offer of Thomas W. Dewey 6 Go.
Dewey had $40, 600 transferred from
the Bank of Charlotte to the Bank
of Columbia, and went directly to
New York for the balance. Such is
the story as I got it from gentle
man whom L believe to be in every,
way trustworthy. The Chatham
