BERLIN, July 4th 1865.


The Russians fully appreciate the adj
vantages gained by the English through
the happy termination oftheir Abyssini-
All campaign. The following is an ex-
tract from newspapers representing the
commercial world of st. Petersburg,
while semi-official and party journals
are rather reticent upon the subject.
The former say: The Abyssinian war
places English foreign policy in strik-
Ing light. Bold and energetic as ever,
the statesmen who planned the eXpedi-
ton have been amply rewarded for
their venture and will deserve the great
est feasible advantage from the millions
invested i'm it. OF late England has
been often reproached with apathy and
Indifference to current events. Her
policy of non-interference people were
in the habit of assuring each other had
lost all the influence formerly possessed
on the Continent. But England's CEN
tire of gravity no longer lies in Europe.
That she exercises the closest vigilance
over the interests she has really at heart
il sufficiently manifest from the history
of her colonies, and also from the pres
| ent war, which many among us Il short
time ago were fain to regard as sort OF
British eccentricity. Ininvading Abys-
sinia, England well knew what she was
about. Although certainly provoked
by King Theodore, she availed herself
Of the opportunity to strengthen hel
somewhat declining prestige in Eastern
Africa and succeeded. The battle OF
Magdala will be an effectual set off tC
French preponderance, so greatly in
the ascendant in those parts since the
commencement of the Suez Canal. The
Abyssinian expedition affords an in.
structive lesson to the other powers
English policy has always been distin'
guished by clear motive of the rea
wants of the country and the immediate
aims to be striven for. 1t is for this
reason that England as rule is so un
willing to NEEDLE with the affairs O.
other States, and to interfere in the
complicated questions called European

her, she is not very apt to be enthusiasts
tic about ideas or to aspire to q prestige
which does not produce substantial ad
vantages. She does nothing for thu

TIE BUTLER SPooS SToRY.-The ORR
gin of the story about General Butler
and the spoons is thus related by
friend of the General: Some years
since General Butler was employed to
defend man against some criminal
charge, in q case where the evidence
was so strong against him that it was
generally conceded there was no hope
of escape for him. The General deter
mined to clear him, and for that pur-
pose he adopted the theory that the ac-
cuscd was insane, and, to carry out that
idea, he instructed the fellow 10 answer
all questions put to him by the jailer
and others by the monosyllablc
"spoous, which instructions he fol-
lowed so faithfully that sure enough all
hands, the Court included, concluded
he was crazy in good earnest. The re-
suit was, he was cleared and when,
some time afterwards, the General,
called on him for his fee, all he got IN
reply was "Spoons u "Spoons y
Thus, while ho won his case, the Gen
eral lost his fee, and thence originated
the story Of General Buffers spoons.
Whether true or not, the story is good
one, and the only unreasonable part OF
1t is that the General did not have his
fee in advance. That part Of it GER
tainly is not in accordance with the
Generals established character for
shrewdness. All the hue and cry from
the rebels about General Buffers steal
ing spoons hns, in truth. no other or
better foundation than this story. Their
hatred of him is the highest praise that
can be bestowed upon him in the esti-
nation of loyal men. ,o-

Severe upon Frank Blair-A Little Bit OF
History.
The New York Sua contains the fol-
lowing exceedingly good thing:
A well known gentleman of this city
was conyersing with General F. P.
Blair, Jr., not long since, upon the
power of Congress to reconstruct the
South. General Blair warmly main
tanned that the reconstruction laws
were unconstitutional, and that there
was no authority in the National Gov
ernment to endow negroes with the
elective franchise in the conquered
States. "You are mistaken, said his
friend; :" the Supreme Court has fully
decided the question in favor of the
power exercised by Congress-
"How so ~ asked the General. 81
never heard of any such decision
"I will give you the points, was the
answer.
81. The Supreme Court has decided
that the National Government has the
same rights and privileges as regards
the States lately in rebellion as itwould
have toward States or Territories con.
quercd in war with another power.
al. The Supreme Court decided
years ago that in New Mexico, which we
had Just then conquered in the war with
Mexico, the orders Of General kearny,
the Military Governor OF that Territory,
had all the force Of law: and must be
obeyed as such.
"III. Among these orders of General
Kearny, in New Mexico, was a code OF
laws which he promulgated somo time
about ls47, by which the right Of suf-
frage was conferred upon oil males OF
lawful age, without distinction Of color;
negroes included.
HIV. This code, which was thus i'm
posed upon New Mexico by the military
power, the Supreme Court decided TO
be the rightful law of the Territory,
until it should be set aside by express
Act Of Congress.
"v. The apparent author OF this
negro suffrage code was Francis r.
Blair, Jr., whose name wns attached to
it rs Attorney-General Of the Terri
tory" :,
