GERMANY.
The Trade Treaty with Austria-DcmOcratit
Advance to a Reunion Of FatherIand.


The treaty OF commerce concluded between the
Northern Confederation and Austria came into oper
alton on the 1st June. From that day the modified
tariff OF the Zoverein was applied in all the States
which grant to the German Customs Association the
rights OF the most favored nation. According to
article twenty OF the treaty OF the 9th March, the
contracting parties accord recprocaly to each other
the right OF appointing consus In all the ports and
commercial towns to which such representatives Of
o third Power are admitted.
The Prussian journals publish q letter addressed by
the deputy NJ. Jacoby TO the democratic association
OF Hamburg, and in which is traced the programme
OF that party in Germany. The former progresssts
broke up In 1866 into several fractions separated by
grave divergences. The most advanced section Of
the progressists Of North Germany tend to unite
closely with the democrats OF the SOUTH who are
very influential in Wurtemberg. Baden and on many
points OF Bavaria. The following is OF the pas
sages of VI. Jacobv's etter:-0n the national ground
the democratic party should recognize the right to
liberty and self government belonging to each
peoples and TO each branch OF a nation. The free
union OF all the fractions Of the German popula-
tion founded on an equality OF rights and the
German free federal State-such Is Its nearest
object It's more distant purpose Is the peace fedora
ton and the liberty OF all the nations OF Europe. He
who wishes for any predomtnance or leadership
whatever Of one people over anotherin other TERMS
he who places the pretended ''hon0r and power" OF
people or Of branch Of a nation, or what In called
the national interest,"" above the requirements OF
right and liberty, he repeat, does not belong TO the
peoples party.

THE WAY TO Ii CHECK THEM.-If ali
article reviewing the deplorable politi-
cal and financial condition of the coun-
try, the New York Herald concludes as
follows:
Under such o fearful state of things
the national finances must remain dis
organized, taxation oppressive and the
pdblic credit shaken. Business Of all
kinds must feel the parslyzing effect.
Capital will take alarm and enterprise
viii cease. In fact, the prospect be-
fore us is truly alarming ifthe Radical
party in power continue their destrnct-
i've course and the people do not rise
up as one man in their might to check
this tide of Jacobinism. Unhappily,
these Radicals will be in power for
some time to come, rs they boast Of
being, todefy public opinion, and they
may do vast deal of evil before an
other general election takes place. To
hold them in check then, the people
everywhere should rise and denonnce
their conduct. In all the cities aud
tow1fs--yes, even In every little village
there should bepublic meetings for
this purpose. Tlla country is in q ter
rible crisis, and the universal voice Of
the nation should be raised TO. save the
Constitution and Government from tho
sacrilegous hands that now tlifeaten to
DESTROY bUtli.

Town Visiting Rowdies.

Robert JosseIyn. whiIom Of Mississippi,
poet, and lawyer, and during the war pri-
vate Secretary to the President ofthe Con-
federacy, describes as below in the Texas
State State Gazette, which he is editing,
the Texas rowdy who initiates the Mex
lean. He ought to picture also the Miss
isssippi rowdy who delights in showing off
his boots, etc, and the Louisiana rowdy is
like him. The only place where these
chaps find their level is in New Orleans
The police generally bring them down to a
comprehension OF their contemptibility in
TALL sober and intelligent minds. We ap-
pend the article from the Texas State
Gazette:
The desire OF our young country friends
to initiate the dress.and bearing of the.
Mexican Rancheros - not as great as it
once was, yet we still see some who love
the embroidered jacket, goat Skin breaches,
red sash, broad brimmed hat and loud jing-
ling spurs. This class ofyoung men gen
orally come to town on a raw day, fu "
equipped, with the six shooter conspicu-
ously displayed, riding Spanish poney
that pitches and shorts like its rider One
drink Of whiskey sets them oil right, and
they slosh around annoying everybody and
detying the corporation laws and officers.
They seem anxious for d fight with some
one, and, like the 1rishman at Donneybrook
Fair, politely beg some gentleman to be so
kind as to step on their coat tails. The
days exploits usually terminate by getting
half drunk and starting home with some
sober relative, who, perhaps under the inn
preston that he has desperate charge to
conduct and keep from killing some one,
has followed in the ingrates footsteps oil
day. They start home, and before reach
ing the river our Mexican imitator bursts
loose and must have another drink. Again
he is carried out, and again he is back,
Finally with drunken, savage yell. he
puts his big spurs to the poney and makes
for home, evidently well satisfied that he
has acquitted himself Ike Mexican to
the life and that everybody is wondering,
at and admiring his recalesness and dar-
.ing-not near so drunk either as he pre-
tends to be.
This little notice Is intended for such
young men, and we Inform them that they
have 30 admirers here. There is but one
feeling, that is regret for the ruin they are
coming to, and indignation ct their con-
tempt for law and order, and pablic opin-
ion., Seek better models thau the Wild
Mexican raDcheros in dress, and let your
demeanor be that Of q gentlemen. m. @.

The New York menagerie closed up,

arose. The city Of Providence requires all
shows and exhibitions to be licensed, and
an exhibition of old clos could be no ex-

the same privileges. An application was
made for license, but the City Council

complimentary tickets and the usual appli-

compelled to take her clothes down again.
