THE FEELING IN AUSTRIA.

Whoever will take the trouble to examine
the attitude of the Austrian press, must come
to the conclusion that there is hardly any
marty of respectable strength throughout the
Empire which is favorable to an alliance of
Austria with France and that the Govern
ment. in Joining France, would take a step
hundred times more hazardous than the war of
1866. Considering the deceptive Cable dis
patches by which the French Government
seeks to lead astray public opinion, it is of
great interest to note the language OF the
leading papers of the several great nationali-
ties with regard to the war.
AS regards the nine millions of Germans in
the Empire, their attitude is almost as decided
as that of the North and South Germans
against France. Only one paper of Vienna,
the organ of the Ultramontane aristoeracy,
dares to declare its sympathy with France
all the others emphaticaly blame France 1or
the war, and though they admit that the uer-
mans of Austria find it difficult to sympathize
with the Prussians, whO in 1865 expeiied 'nc,''
from Germany, they declare it to be Impossible
TO withhold their sympathy from the German
nation when German territory ls invaded Dy
Inv the hereditary foe of Germany. The pro-
y;ncial papers speak in the same way. Inc
iheraI Associations in Gratz, the capital OF
Stvria. recommend to all Liberal Associations
of Austria the adoption of the following reso-
Iution. "We recognize in the war between
France and Germany an 1mpudent attempt
"by Louis Napoleon to rob Germany, and we
" therefore demand of our Government that 1t
" preserve i'm this war the strctest neutrality
&" for we must declare an alliance of Austria
with the arch foe of the German nation to be
treason against Germany and an immense
misfortune for Austria"
The Cable dispatch which two weeks ago
announced that Hungary had declared in favor
of France is also found to be utterly untrue.
One single paper of Pesth, which supports the
Government, expressed French sympathy, but
all the other papers of the Hungarian capital
so emphatically declared against this manifes-
tation that the Government declined all re-
sp0nsibility for the article, and declared, In
union with all the political parties, In favor OF
absolute neutrality.
The Czecbs, the ruling nationality in
Bohemia and Moravia, and the Poles of
Galicia, have the frankness to SAY that they
do not care at all about the fate OF Austria,
provided the course of events will favor the
particular interests of their nationality. The
Poles, moreover, add that if Russia joins one
of the belligerent parties the Poles Will, OF
course, give their whole sympathy to the other.
1t seems barely possible that, with such a
disposition of the prominent races, any
Austrian statesman should again be foOlhardy
enough to stake the very existence OF the
Empire upon a new war with Prussia.

The great hymeneal celebration which con-
verted Miss Butler into Mrs. Gen. Ames, has
been quite thrown into the shade by a we'd
ding which was celebrated in the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky a few days since The
happy couple were Miss Lena Orenduff Of
Breckenridge and Mr.. Charles K. Calvert of
Louisville All the ladies of the party were
in Cave costume, viz: short skirt and Turkish
trowsers. The altar was magnificent, being COM
posed of number of stalactites and stalagmites,
placed in a room so feet square and 15 feet
high. One hundred unlimited lOafers attended.
The twain were made one after being re-
minded by the parson that "though in. the
"caverns of the earth, they were still in the
"sight of Almighty Cod" Pretty soon any
thing like bridal novelty will be out of the
question. Couples have been married in bal
looms, upon the tops of mountains, iii car
riages, and in caverns-but no knot, to the
best of our knowledge, has ever been
tied upon tight-rOpe stretched across
Niagara Here is chance for any
brace intending holy matrimOny to distinguish
themselves. Bride and groom, bridesmaids
and groomsmen, as well as the clergyman
officiating, would be forced to practice for a
year or so before the auspicious day, and so
would the walters intrrlsted with the delicate
task of serving banquet on string-but
what fame, honor, and glory, would be won
by all concerned in such q novelty And IT
the blushing bride should fall off and be
drowned, what an escape for the groom, and
what thrilling item for the newspapers

The Independent Prohibitory party in Mas
sachusetts, we are gravely told, does not ex-
pect to elect its candidates this year, and
hardly expects to be itself in existence next
year for its main purpose, if we comprehend
the matter, is to make demonstration strong
enough to frighten the Republicans into acqul-
escence in strong prohibitory legislation-a
plan which it does not seem to us is to be
much commended for those who are scared
into voting against their own opinions will
hardly remain so for more than single cleo
ton. Moreover, suppose the Independents
should draw off Republican voters enough to
give the State to the Democrats" What kind
of "Prohbitory" legislation might then be
reasonably be expected

THE POSITION or ENGLAND.

The day seems to have passed when the
opinion of England could be counted as a force
in European politics. The most signal disturb
ance the continent has suffered since Waterloo
is now at hand, and the course of Great Britain
is watched with hardly more curiosity than the
course of Denmark, or Switzerland or the Sub
lime Porte. France, Spain, Prussia, have all
thought it safe to despse the sentiment OF
England. She has been deceived ON the Span
ish throne question; she has been hoodwinked
in a matter so important as the neutrality OF
Belgium; she demands explanations, and the
Great Powers hardly make pretense of listen
ing to her; she threatens war, and apparently
nobody is alarmed. And yet England is for
midabe foe. Her navy is the best in the
world her army, if not large, according to mod
ern ideas, is composed of superb material, and
as tough as oak; and, finally, her financial
strength, despite her heavy debt, is enormous.
How does it happen that in the complications
which now distract the whole continent she is
so little cOnsidered7 How is that in half the
period of generation she has fallen from the
position of first-cass to that of a third-class
powerf
The French were not far from right when
they called England nation of shOpkeepers
The Ministry seems to have become possessed
with the idea that their whole duty is to save
English commerce from interruption and get
for English shippers the carrying trade of the
continent They do not see that the CONNER
cial supremacy of the kingdom depends in
great measure upon its political predominance.
They do not realize that the advance of Ma

coast of the North Sea quite as much as the
Eastern. When Austria and Prussia menaced
the territory of Denmark, England clustered,
scOlded, distinctly threatened war, unless the
Great Powers of Germany abandoned their
designs upon that little kingdom. Those de-
signs were not abandoned; the kingdom was
disInembered; and England meekly withdrew
her ultimatum. The disgrace of that affair has
not been forgotten. Europe is persuaded that
England will submit to anything rather than
fight, and treats her accordingly with impOlte
indifference.
AT the present conjuncture the popular anx-
iety for decided action is unmistakable, but
the Government strangely holds back. There
is no doubt that the English people sympa-
thze strongly with Germany and dread the
ulterior designs of France. They are anxious
that Great Britain should interfere decidedly
and at once to protect the threatened neutral
ity of Belgium-not by empty remonstrance,
but by an armed occupation. With q strong
force under arms behind the Belgian frontier,
with superb navy lowering about the shores
Of the North Sea, England would not only
avert an impending danger but regain by
single effort the proud position from which |

The Democrats" Of the With Congressional
District of Indiana seem to have rather an odd
taste. They have nominated for the House of
Representatives Capt. VIM. c. Moreau. The
event of this genteman's life which has most
decidedly distinguished it was his dishOnorable
dismissal by Gen. Thomas from the service,
on the Goth Of April 1864. He had, it seems,
been amusing B.mself by obtaining money
"under false pretenses," and had "twice
"absconded to avoid a trial" He was, there
fore, relieved of his commission. If it is all
the same to them we hope that the Democrats
Of the District will give Moreau an enthusias-
tic support. We want somebody of his kidney
as set-otf, if Whittemore is coming back as
a Republican member to Washington.

The captain of the steamboat Sewanhaka,
upon which it is the unfortunate necessity of
some of our citizens to find their way to
Roslyn, L. l., and the commander of the ID. h.
Martin, to whose neglect other citizens intrust
themselves while en- route to or from Oyster
Bay, have been amusing themselves with
racing their vessels at full head of steam, and
coming in collision as a consequence of their
recklessness. The owners of these steamboats,
owe it to themselves-we do not present the
public claim-to place only careful and sensi-
ble officers on their boats. Otherwise they will
compel a public sensible of its comfort and
safety to patrOnize rival steamers. Racing in
the Sound or in New-YOrk Bay is an Offense
which ought TO be punished as a crime. Per-
hapS it will be after some scores of passengers
are blown up or drowned by captains of a
sportive disposition.

all mention to each other as they walk home
to dinner that DR.. preached that discourse
about two weeks after he was ordained The
poor clergyman who fishes in the very bottom
of his barrel for an ancient MS, good enough
for tenantless pews upon Summer Sunday,
may be sure that there will always be some
body present who will find him out, and take
the greatest pleasure in telling those of slower
recollection.
Now, if the reader will but consider the
matter fairly, he will see that it is almost an
mpOssibility for a pastor to write one hund-
red and four excellent new sermons yearly.
If put to such task, especially If he be dys-
peptic he will either break down or he VIII
break through the bindings of his books, ana
desperately steal, or else he will dispense the
mere sugar-plums of rhetoric to hungry souls.
He must be pretty good worker who can
write. let us say, dozen really frst-rate SER
mons in a year. for these will demand ior
their preparation study, reflection, castigation'
and good deal of rewriting. 1t must DC re-
membered that we are speaking oi Soin'o"'

late DIR. Waylanu was lohu VI ooiii"o ' ~
how MANY drafts he made of his. renowned
sermon on Missions and he may well have
been a little proud of it, for it laid the foun-
dation of his subsequent fame. Doubtless his
congregation wOuld have liked two such ser
mons every Lords Day, but they might as
well have expected stated supply of arch
angels to preach to them.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, at least among
Protestants, preaching sermons has become the
most important function of the priestly office,
with certain results which are to be deplOred,
and with Others which are to be commended.
But wardens and vestrymen and standing
committees may be assured that they will In
the end lose nothing by allowing the brains
from which they expect so much, an oc-

No organ of the human body so reJ0lces,
after hard work, at an interval of rest
as that pulpy prisoner within the walls
of the Uranium; while there is no organ
which so rapidly and satisfactorily achieves
recuperation. 1t is quite wonderful to find
how easy brain-wOrk is made by week OF
fortnight of perfect rest-of rest from thinking,
and writing, and constructing, and from all
reading except that of travels and biographies,
of novels and newspapers. Wherefore, we be-
seech clergymen, when they desire furlough,
not to talk about their throats OF stOmachs,
but to say boldly that they want rest: because
rest is a good thing in itself.

The affair at Saarbruck was of even less
Importance than appeared by the first reports.
1t was the intention of the Prussians to aban-
don the town on Sunday last, but the move
ment was delayed until the advance of the
French on Tuesday. Only two cOmpa-
MES of Prussians held it and pcketed
the nights which, from the south side
of the Saar, command the town and
the valley The hills on the north side
of the Saar at this point appear to be two or
three miles back from the river, and to these
it seems the Prussians have retired. II the
French attempt to cross in force at this point
they will have to cross the valley to find the
enemy strongly posted on the hills beyond,
situation not unlike that of Gen. Burnside
at Fredericksburg in front of the enemy on
Maryes Hights. There is nothing whatever
in the dispatches to indicate that the French
intend to cross the Saar at this point in force,
or that the Prussians in giving up the town
to the French pickets have abandoned their
line of defense from Treves and Saarlouis
eastward to the Rhine. The French reports
glorify the capture of Saarbruck as an I'M
portant achievement but they are evidently
framed with the design of amusing Paris
during the long and inexplicabe delay in ad-
vancing.
Our dispatches indicate with more GER
tanty than anything we have heretofore had
tbe dispositions of the Prussans for the de-
fense of the Baltic and North Sea ports and
the northern approaches to Berlin. An army
of los, 900 men defends Stettin on the Baltic
and corps of $4,000 is in front of Hamburg
on the North Sea. Our former advices men
ton only insignificant numbers of French
ing in IIolstein or Schleswig. There
are small chances of the success of these
troops against such formidable numbers of the
Prussians but the French, of course, depend
in this quarter on their fleet. The delay of
the French fleets in attacking the Baltic ports
is not less significant than the failure of the
Army on the Rhine to advance.
Our map herewith published will indicate
with sufficient clearness the positions of the
Prussians as laid down in our latest adyices.
Our special London dispatches state that
there was great indignation at the failure of
Mr.. Gladstone to announce distinctly the pur-
pose of the British Government to protect
Belgium. 1t is clear that such declaration
cannot be long delayed

plain, nor do the Crispins enlighten u.s. as 10
what disposition is made of an apprentices

trade and receiving the wages of an appren-

remain a tax on his father, or does his labor
add to the family incomei We have always
supposed that the apprentice during. his mi

sarily an enemy on reaching his majority. If
a little common sense were introduced into

The friends of Real appear still to hope for
his respite, although the language of the Gov
ernOr in refusing a pardon seemed positive
enough to crush the most sanguine, and the
prisoner himself no longer cherishes a hope
The law must doubtless take its course. The
prompt punishment of Real two years ago by
confinement, where he could have done no
more mischief, would have better vindicated
the law and deferred criminals than
Eill bis barbaTous execution after
this long delay 1t is the prOmptitude with
which murderers are punished-the certainty
Of punishment, and not the severity of the
sentence-which deters criminally inclined per-
sons. That law is most effective which is
certain TO be administered not that which is
most severe. The law which Furnishes murder
with death is certain rarely to be administered
as long as men have human sympathies, and
the living murderer can plead while the dead
victim cannot.

REBELLION IN GEORGJd

The State Senate of Georgia resolved, on
Friday last, "That the General Assembly 80
shape legislation as that no election shall
be held for the ratious officers provided for
"by the Constitution, until Congress, by the
"admission of our Senators and Representa-
tives or in some other way, shall definitely
determine whether the Constitution of
90 the State is held to 90 into oper-
cation as the paramount law in 1868 or in
1870" This is setting at naught the laws of
Congress and the Constitution of the State, by
whose authority alone the General Assembly
exists at all, and.can be justified neither by
law nor precedent. The declaration made by
one of the members, while debating the reso-
luton, that "the General Assembly had taken
"an oath to support the Constitution of
Georgia and iof the United States, and not
"to support the Reconstruction acts,n is q
declaration of rebellion.
Everybody knows the history of the Georgia
bill in Congress. After ore of the most tire
some and prOftless debates in which that
body ever wasted precious time, IT not only
refused so to amend the bill as to allow a
pOstpOnement of the State election, this Fall,
as provided for by the Constitution, but, in
order that there should be no misunderstand
ing of the matter, inserted clause pro-
viding that nothing in that act, or in any
other, should be so construed as to affect the
term to which any officer had beel appointed
or any member of the General Assembly
elected as prescribed by the Const tuition of
the State. The present members of the Gen
eral Assembly entered upon their duties, on the
sth of November, 1868, and their terms of
Office expire on the 9Th of November S1O

The Bills of Mortality in Philadelphia are
not very pleasant reading. The number of
deaths for the week ending last Saturday was
Gil, against 800 during the same week last
year. Among small children there were t72
deaths from cholera infantum, and 2S from
marasmus. There were $50 deaths of children,
and of these 266 were under twelve months of
age There is something very disheartening
in this dsproportionate deathrate for in
fants which every year is to be everywhere
observed. 1t is kind of Massacre of the In
nocents, and very little better than deliberate
infanticide 1t results directly from want of
cleanliness insufficient clothing, ordinary care,
and a salutary Diet and, in many cases, no
doubt, from cOngenital diseases. If there be
no remedy for the evil, we can at least stop
speaking disrespectfully of King Herod.

France has been establishing camps on the

nature is indicated by the fact that explana-
ions of this act of apparent hostility and the
ate language of the Duke de Gramont, ex-
pressing undisguised enmity to the Spaniards,
have been demanded. France will have enough

not, therefore likely to advance across her
