Austro-Germun Uuity-The Imperial Rein-
tiOus to Prussia.


The question of the future government OF
the German peoples who are subject to the
rule of Austria subsequent to the conclusion OF
the war between Prussia and France in the
event OF Prussia emerging from the struggle
victorious, presented itself to the reasoning
and calculating mind of the world at q very
early moment in the history Of that fierce con-
fict. Would North Germany, consolidated
by victory, and with her powerful Gallo an
tagonist at her feet, sound the bugle of Teu-
tonic Panslavism and call all the children OF
Fatherland in Europe to the domestic hearth
under one banner; or would she con-
tinue to permit them to remain way
farers and sojourners under foreign scep-
tres, and as strangers and "alieas in
blood" among the peoples eastward? This
grand social problem, philosophic in it's logic
and of great import for the illustration of the
exactitude of chronological science, is about to
be presented to the world for solution. It
appears as if the imperial standard-bearer Of
North German Teutonism will undertake to
prove himself most watchtul guardian of the
interests of all the branches of the common pa
rent stock or flock. Austria perceives the fact
The Ministry of the Emperor Francis Joseph
is already endeavoring to guard against it's
consequence The Germans in Austria have
just proposed to celebrate the conquest OF
peace by Prussia in a worthy manner. Count
Hohenwsrt, President Of the Austrian Minis,
try, has forbidden the movement. He defends
the decree Of repression before the legisla-
tive body by repeating Count Beust's words
of ''hope that the increase of friend
ship toward North Germany would not
affect the individuality of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy" "This increase of
friendship" says Minister Hohenwart. twill
render necessary careful Interpretation of
the principle Of nationalities," as 'Austria's
friendship toward North Germany would be
of but little value if the Austrian government
were unable to rule at home" Precisely so.
Words of wisdom; sentences expressive Of
sentiment Of patriotic anxiety-sentence
spoken at most critical moment in the his
tory not only of Europe, but Of the world at
large. Fully convinced of the serious import

has gone by default as Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana went in 1867, aud
the result in reference to the next
Presidential election signiies little or
nothing in view of the large reserved vote
which did not come to the polls. 1t
is the full vote of State which de-
cides its political complexion; and the
republicans are always behind on a short
popular vote. For instance, on short vote
they lost New York in 1867 by fifty thousand
democratic majority, whereas, on full vote
(extra full for the democrats of this city),
Seymour in lSGS had only ten thousand ma
Jority. Again, Pennsylvania in 1867 gave
nearly thousand democratic majority on
short vote, while in 1868 she gave Grant on a
full vote twenty thousand majority. From
the time Of Jackson down to this day such has
been the working, in the absence of any great
issues, of our intermediate State elections as
compared with our Presidential elections
There is still, however, this meaning in
State election which has gone by an unex-
pected default against the party in power-it
means that some unexpected cause has been
at work. Thus Sumner will explain this N ew
Hampshire election but the election explains
nothing more than Sumner. But with all these
other end lqlger questions than Sumner
coming into the foreground he and bis ind-
vidual grievances will soon be cast in the
shade. Meantime, as it becomes clearer to
the republican rank and file that General
Grant is their only man, il will become clearer
to him that from his inexperience in the
devious ways Of politics, he must hereafter be
guided more than in the past by the old
acknowledged lights and leaders of his party.

The Cabinet Ministers of his Majesty King
Victor Emmanuel have asked the Italian Par
lament for an extraordinary money grant of
two hundred millions of lire-forty milliens Of
dolars-for the purpose of ''the completion Of
the armament of the nation," and the Italian
Senate has perfected a measure for the reor-
ganization of the army. Such are the con-
tents Of our cable telegram from Florence.
The intelligence denotes a very extraordinary,
and apparently inepportune, movement on the
part Of the Italian government Italy a unit;
united Italy in Rome; Italy with the national
''edifcc crowned;" but Italy about to arm just
at the very moment when peace has been pro-
claimed between France and Prussia, and
when both humanity and the civilizations Of
the w0rt1 have been sickened and out
ragged by war Arming the Italian
nalion What does it mean? Does it
mean anything beyond sharp ministerial
practice, calculated to draw forty millions of
dollars from the pocket of an overtaxed
people, who behold the very fields of Magenta
and Solferino still untitled, and see the silk
looms of Lombardy frequently idle and very
generally noiseless for the want of Industrial
employment. The army absorbs great many
hands which would otherwise be idle in Italy,
and it don't require his Holiness the Pope to
assure us of the malgnity of that omnipresent
parsonage who always ''fnds work for idle
hands to do" Italy may feel seriously alarmed,
however. If North Germany is really looking
in our telegram from Vienna that she is, the
successors of Cavour may feel themselves
justified in their military precaution. Good to
be prudent in season.

A Probable Row in Paris To-Day.

| Contrary to the reports of the past few days,
| the insurgent National Guards of Montmartre
have not surrendered to the French authori-
tles Mildly as the situation in Paris is
described in our dispatches published this
| morning, enough is said 10 show that there is
a strong probability Of serious collision in
the city to-day between the insurgents and the
national forces. After a good deal of spur
ring on by the newspapers to the work of
crushing the ''insurrection" the French govern
ment have at length determined to enforce
obedience to their requirements. This day. a
telegram from Paris states, is the last allowed
the insurgents to return to their duty, and
consequently ''a crisis" is certain. 1t is to be
hoped that the misguided National Guards of
Montmartre will perceive the futility of
resistance and, by timely surren-
der, avert bloodshed. But it must
not be forgotten that the men who
compose the insurgent battalions belong to
the lowest or most reckless classes Of Paris
men who apparently delight in the title of
''heroes Of the barricades, and are not averse
to street fight with any regularly constituted
FSench government, no matter how great the
odds against them. While, therefore, hoping
that it will be found unnecessary to have
recourse to violence, we shall feel no surprise
if the cable brings information to-day of a
bloody conflict in the narrow streets around
the hill of Montmartre. If we can trust the
reports previously published the insurrec-
tionary element is better armed than at the
time of the first Revolution, and is, there
fore, better prepared to resist the forces of
the government In view of probable con-
fiict to-day it must be matter of deep regret
to the French authorities that the disarming
of the National Guards was not made one of
the conditions Of the surrender of Paris. 1t
would have effectually prevented even the
possibility of the re-enactment of those horrible
scenes of carnage which are to be found re-
corded in the past history Of the French capital.

When Shall We Have Italian Operas

The Italian opera question has been dis
cussed to its fullest extent by the press, bui
the feeling of expectancy and desire for its
revival which is now at fever heat in this city
demands few additional words That the
musical taste and liberality of New York can
not be excelled in any other centre of art is
universally conceded; but this taste and libe-
rality can only be fully developed by Italian
opera. which is the recognized head of lyric
art. Attempts have been made in vain to pro-
vide German, English and French substitutes !;
they have all received fair trial and have
of the present day. is by no means palatable
to true musical ears, as it takes metaphysical
view of every subject and carefully excludes
dramatic feeling and the spirit of spontaneous
melody which alone can touch the hearts of
the people. English opera nowadays is a
weak dution of Italian and German, and the
standard works Of English and American COM
posers are ignored by those who represent this
branch of the lyric art. AS for French opera,
we have only the 6oube kind, and the public
have long since tired of that. Italian opera,
then, is the sole musical entertainment that
can fully satisfy the desires of the public
And now there is an eager desire for it which
will, no doubt, succeed in bringing around its
revival and removing the former obstacles in
the way Of its success. These obstacles, as
we have repeatedly said, are principally con-
fined to the narrow minded policy of the
stockholders of the only building in the city
where Italian opera can be properly pre-
sented-the Academy of Music. When
these gentlemen consent to relinquish
their deadhead privilege Of occupying
two hundred and fifty of the best seats in the
house and agiee to pay for them one of the
greatest obstacles in the path of Italian opera
will be removed. There is no use in attempt
ing to dodge the question They must prac-
tse this self-denial or consent to see Italian
opera perpetually banished from their boards.
Any impresariO who proposes to give opera at
the Academy without insisting upon this
point deceives either himself or the public, for
he cannot succeed. This point conceded, the
stockholders, who represent many Of the first
circles in society, should next exert their
social influence to make Italian opera a neces-
sary appendage of fashion. 1t is luxury
and cannot depend on the general public alone
for support There is a great difference
between a guinea stall at Covent Garden
and two dollars at the Irving Place Opera
House. Yet the expenses at the former are
much less than what they should be in this
city. There box at the Italian opera is in
dispensable for all who move in the charmed

The New Darien Canal Route.

The public is awaiting with great interest
additional news-which may now be daily
expected-from the Darien exploring and sur
veying party of Commander Selfridge. The
news already received seems to indicate that
the route which Commander Selfridge is san
guine will prove to be the most practlca-
BILE for an interoceanic canal is the same, or
by Antoine de Gorgoza, in his interesting
memoir, 'sNouveau Trace dun Canal Inter-
oceanique ct dune Vote Ferree Travers le
Territoire du Darien," published at Paris in
1868. 1t will be remembered that early last
year Mr.. de Gorgoza, after careful examina-
ton of the maps and reports of the old Jesuit
missionaries, which he found at Madrid and
compared with the journal of the engineer
sent by him to survey this particular route,
brought the matter before certain prominent
parties in Paris. AS the plan Of Mr.. de Cor
goza was to attract the attention of all nations
to his discovery, in order to secure neutrality
for the proposed canal an interna-
tional meeting was held at the rooms
Of an American banker to consider
the subject. A distinguished member
Of Congress, then on visit to Europe, was
called to the chair, and the preliminaries OF
company were arranged. There were pre-
sent at this meeting Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Germans, Spaniards and Americans. At
subsequent meeting company was organized,
with Paul S. Forbes as president and Charles
B. Norton as secretary. Among the members
of the company were Nathan Appleton, DR..
Thomas w. Evans, Elisha Riggs. Baron
Emile d'Erlanger, Edouard Cahen dAnvers,
Alexandra Boyer and others. A capital of
seven hundred and fifty thousand francs
was subscribed for preliminary ex-
penses and ten per cent of the money was
paid up, and, we understand, still remains on
deposit In Paris. The breaking out OF the
war in Europe and troubles in Colombia have
thus far delayed action hy this company,
which bears the appropriate title of 'Societe
Internationale du Canal du Darien," but we
are informed that it has never been legally
dissolved. At any rate, it claims, with Mr.. de
Gorgoza, to- have been the first in field
which now promises to open rich and bound.

Capital Sentence in the Federal Courts.
The scene presented in the United States
Circuit Court room yesterday, before Judge
Woodruff and a crowded auditory, was one
not often witnessed in the Federal Building.
After the Court had sentenced number Of
offenders to various terms of Imprisonment
for counterfeiting, stealing letters from the
Post Office, melting to mutiny on board ship
and perjury, man named Charles Perdue
who had been convicted of burning the ship
Robert Edwardes at sea, a out eight hundred
miles from land, was called forward
for judgment. The punishment for this
crime is death. Judge Woodruff ad-
dressed the prisoner in feeling man.
ner. A portion of the learned Judges
remarks may be very we'll regarded as fine
specimen of judicial eloquence and as touch
ing appeal to Perdue to avail himself Of the
short time now left him upon Earth for the
purpose of making his peace with God.
Fortunately the malicious burning of ships at
sea is an offence rarely known in this country ;
and it is this that makes the case Of Perdue
remarkable, and also the fact that it is several
years since there has been capital conviction
in the federal courts Of this city. Friday, the
18th Of May, has been named for Perdue's
execution; but as the jury who tried him
recommended him to mercy efforts, no doubt,
will be made to have his life spared.

PROPOSED SALE OF CUBA AND PoRTo
RICO To TIE UNITED STATEs.-Diplomat C
circles in Washington were intensely excited
ception at the State Department of a
despatch from Minister Sickles con-
tanning a proposition by the Spanish
government to sell to the United States the
islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t appears
that King Amadeus thinks his West India
possessions are source of weakness to
his kingdom and is willing to dis
pose of them for 800, 1000, the
price formerly demanded for Cuba alone. The
despatch was received at too late an hour for
action to be taken upon it yesterday, but will,
no doubt, be laid before the Cabinet meeting

NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WALL STREET.-Gold
went up a couple of points yesterday, which

Of the New Hampshire election, with its pros

other things, will pay off the national debt in
greenbacks. The old fogies in Wall street
said, however, that it was all due to the gold
shipments TO Europe. Opinions Of different
people will vary.

FILKINs, the express robber, has been SEN

ALsAcE AND LoRRAINE.-In our telegraphic
columns to-day will be found couple of
dispatches which give little fresh interest to
Alsace and Lorraine One despatch has it
that Alsace and that portion OF Lorraine which,
along with Alsace, has been annexed to Ger
many, may for consideration be restored to
France. The other despatch has it that G. en-
eral Won Goeben's army is marching from the
North of France to take up the position
assigned to it in the new German provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine. The two kilograms do
not conflict, but they help us toward u con-
clusion. Alsace and Lorraine-at least so
much of Lorraine as Germany has deemed
it proper to take from France-were not
demanded without good reason; and, depend
upon it, they will not without good reason be
parted with, now that they have been obtained.
Alsace and Lorraine were originally German.
France holding them, the Rhine boundary was
q source Of trouble to both nationalities.
The Rhine boundary question is effectually
settled, and, depend upon it, the statesmen OF
Germany will not allow France to come near
the Rhine any more if they know how TO

We publish to-day an interesting interview
which our correspondent had recently with
Senator Sumner. That statesman expressed
himself very freely on all the matters now
which he is SO intimately connected. AS to
the alleged reason for his removal-personal
unpleasantness between him and Secretary
Fish-he says that he and the Secretary were
always very cordial in their business relations,
that they consulted very freely regarding any
negotiations about which it was necessary
for them to consult but that he was
the recipient of personal indignity
at the hands of the Secretary which made it
impossible for them to remain upon footing
of sociality or personal friendship. Herein the
Senator condemns himself. It is absolutely
necessary that the head Of so important COM
mttee as that of Foreign Relations should be
upon the most intimate terms, personally
and socially, with the chief Minister of
State, and there is bound to come distrust and
lack of confidence between them in important
negotiations where this intimacy is lacking.
As to the Senator's opposition to St.
Domingo, he says that he objects to the
annexation of that island because he wants
the West Indies as q free, independent
negro republic, where the black race may work
out its redemption untroubled and unretarded
by admixture with or oppression from the
whites. In this, too, we think the Senator is
wrong. For seventy years the black race
have exercised control in st. d omingo, and a
very discouraging exhibit is shown to-day
of their ability to develop the resources
of one of the most beautiful and fertile coun-
tries on the globe. Annexation would open
up to it emigration from the colored people
here-people who are vastly superior in edu-
cation and experience to the Dominicans-and
this infusion would do more to teach them
selfgovernment than they will ever learn
otherwise in the semi-barbarous life they now
lead.

II SEEMS PROBABLE that the coal miners
strike in Pennsylvania will extend to the btu
minous region. This is the coal which is used
almost exclusively west and southwest of
Pittsburg, and its transportation down the
Ohio river in coal barges and to the Western
towns on railroad trains is a very large branch
of business. The same coal, under pressure
of the present strike Of the anthracite miners,
is also being more generally used in this vcin-
ity, and the proposed movement of the btu

but they are 30 confused and contradictory
that no reliability can be placed on them. AT
all events the question is being agitated as
earnestly and extensively as even the myriad
projects of quick transit in the city. We trust
that the stockholders will yield to the pres
sure and to the dictates of common sense.
