Conyeneds--Berlin and Prussia
Comparatively Calm.
BERLIN, July II.
One Of the semi.ofTicial journals this
morning has m article stating that
France persists in the insult to Prussia OF
holding Prussia responsible. The policy
of Spain was adopted, it says, without any
foreign promptings.
The Nortll.GermNn Parliament has
been summoned to give France her an
swcr. ' r.. ...as
Tho London Times has received tele-
gram, dated at Berlin to-day, announcing
that the report previously forwarded from
there touching the naval preparation ut
tho Baltic ports is un(Oundel. There is
no undue activity on the part ot the
Prussian navy and there isMO popular ex-
citcment. A pacific solution ot tue qucs'
tions at issue between France and Prussia
seems to bo confidently expected every
where. .
The North German Gazette says the
words OF GrammOnt of the Corps Lcgisla'

prudent for the language Of q statesman
If this was the object Of tho Minister, he
had better take care.

The situation in Enrope.

Our cable dispatches this morning will
lie found deeply interesting. They show
Tue utmost anxiety and excitement in tue
political and commercial centres Of
Europe over the threatened collision
between France and Prussia. In
London aud Liverpool, aud in
the chief continental capitals, the ex'
element amounted to q panic, and securi'
tics Of every kind dropped heavily. In
Berlin alone there was q reasonable de-
greO Of calmness and confidence. Our
later dispatches from London, however
indicate better feeling in that city and
Paris and growing confidence that the
Hlima ratio Tegfum will be avoided.

THE INCOME TAx.-The Income Tax
question has been definitely settled. The
House has agreed to the Senate proposl.
ton TO make the rate 81 per cent and the
exemption $4,000. No time is fixed fol
iu termination. This will afford scnst'
bio reliet to large class Of persons re-
cetvhg a moderate income especially
persons living on salaries, Nevertheless
it's much to be regretted that the tax was
not wholly discontinued. The chief OBJ.
lection was not the amount Of tho tax but
the inquisitorial system necessary TO its
assessment. The amount of revenue de-
rived from It, If It wcre really necessary,
does not justify this kind of a tax, for sew
efal reasons. 1t will cost rs much 10 col
leCt 1t as when 1t produced three times aa
