BERLIN, April .3.-The Emperor William, in
replying to the congratulatory address voted by
the Reichstag, thanks that body for its loyalty
and devotion, and praises the heroism of the
German soldiers, and points to the visible guild
ance of God in the events of the recent war.
He says:-!The condition of France is
owing to the revolutions of eighty
years, and expresses the belief that German ma
tionality in Alsace and Lorraine has been merely
defaced and not destroyed during the compul-
sorry union of these provinces with France" The
Emperor concludes as follows:-"Being an old
man, merely lay the foundation of an empire
which my successor must complete"

The Vance-AbbOtt Case.
Despatch to the associated Press.
WASHINGTON April 3.-The Senate Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections held meeting
this morning to consider the case of the contest
between Messrs. Vance and Abbott for seat in
the Senate from North Carolina. The main
questions to be decided by that committee are
first, whether Vance, under the fourteenth
amendment, was ineligible for election by the
North Carolina Legislature; and second, whe-
ther. If this be so Abbott is entitled to the seat
in the Senate on the ground that he received the
next highest number of votes, although not a
majority of all the votes cast. The committee
arrived at no conclusion, and will hold another
meeting on the subject next Friday.

FROM THE DOMINION.
Proceedings of the ParIiament,

t-foceeuthSs OF the parliament.
OTTAWA, April 3.--The Hon. Mr. Upper,
during debate on the subject of the annexa-
tion of British Columbia on Saturday, argued
that the superiority of the Canadian route for the
Pacific Railroad was indisputable, and that alter
nate blocks of land, which would be the pro-
perty of the government, would realize enough
to discharge its pecuniary obligations.
Respecting the railway, he expressed the be-
lief that the Northern Pacific Company, which
would have nearly thousand miles of desert to
run through, would never (seeiug Canada was
determined to push her road to that ocean, go
on with their work beyond Pembina. They
would extend their line from Georgetown to
Pembina, and thence to Red River, but it would
never, he thought, be carried further west in
view of the far superior prospect of our Domi-
nion road.

United States Government to the sufferers OF
the European war of both the French and the
German nations, is now lying at the south wharf
of the Navy Yard in this city She sailed from
New York during last week, having there taken
on board the bulk of her cargo which had been
sent to that port, consisting of contributions in
provisions, clothing, and other necessaries of
life delicacies for the wounded and like articles,
contributed throughout the Union by kind SYM
pathizers The majority of the contributions in
Western States, but the eastern portion of the
country has also done nobly in the good cause.
The contributions of the city of Philadelphia
have been put in tangible shape that is, all that
was in money has been turned into articles more
needed at present by the sufferers, and these,
and the articles donated In kind and the contri-
buttons of other sections, especially from those
south Of Philadelphia, which have been for
warded to this point, will be loaded upon the
vessel without delay. She is already quite
heavily laden and draws nearly her full amount
