This fiery ordeal of war through which
we have passed is the reliable guarantee
of European peace. Powerful and self
reliant, Germany now bequeathes to you
the regulation of her own affairs as q
satisfactory heritage. To the especial
qualification Of Germany, the Conference
at London, in peaceful spirit, has achiev-
ed the work of reconciliation. 1t is now
the task of the Reichstag to heal all
wounds and confirm the thanks of Father
land to those who have paid for victory
with their blood and lives. Let the
Reichstag cooperate with the Govern
ment in its Constitutional mission

tutional arrangements contemplated

in November with the Southern States

The amount to be contributed by each
State toward the current expenses of the
Empire demand legal settlement, and
sanction is to be given the separate laws
of Bavaria which will be introduced. The
war indemnity win be disposed of with
your approval in conformity to the re-
quirements of the Empire. The just
claims of the Empire on account of the
war viii be laid before you
as soon as possible. The
position of the reserved territories
renders necessary special legislation,
which will be speedily brought to your
attention. Pensions for soldiers and
support for widows and orphans are to
be provided for, and measures to these
ends should be made to apply to the
whole empire, for all fought with equal
devotion, and deserve equal honor and
reward. May the establishment of the
German Empire be the promise of future
greatness. May the war fought so glo-
riously, be followed by equally glorious
peace, and our people henceforth prove
victorious in the universal struggle for the
fruits of peace.

Mr.. Van Trump, of Ohio, introduced
the following bill IN the House of Repre-
sentatlyes on Monday, ''to abolish white
slavery in the States lately in rebellion. :"
"SeCtion l. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
United States of America, IN Congress
assembled, That on and after the 4th day
of July, 1871, there shall be, in the
States lately in rebellion, neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except for the
punishment of crime, among the white
denizens of such States, commonly de-
Il minated the Caucasian race, contra
distinguished from the higher class of
American citizens of African descent; ard
that white persons, by special act of
grace and boon, shall forever hereafter
have, hold, and possess all the rights,
privileges, immunities and franchises, as
the said dominant colored or Ethiopian
race, and to possess the same in all the
late rebellious States as aforesaid.
''Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
That the President of the United States
be fully authorized to employ all the mill
tary force of the nation to carry out the
provisions of this act"

For day or two past the city has been
unusually quiet.
Where is Blitchfeldt and the Board of
Trade? We have not heard of either for
sometime.
The Commercial Hotel has lately been
repaired, and all the improvements are
now nearly completed. Guests who have
been absent several months would be
surprised, on visiting the hotel now, to
find what extensive changes and improve
ments have been made.
The weather is getting so warm that the
big grizzly bear in Amss' Menagerie has to
be wet down with buckets of cold water
almost eyery day. No doubt he pines for
the cool recesses of the Rocky Mountains,
and the freedom of his native hills, which,
probably, he will never tread again.
One of the Magistrates of the county
told some of his friends yesterday that the
beautiful weather reminded hun OF the
same kind of day about thirty years ago.
They asked him how in the world he could
remember so far back as that about the
weather, and the worthy Squire replied,

There is a quantity of fine blooded stock

Several very elegant new residences are

If the names of the streets in Edgefeld

Business on the wharf yesterday was

appears to be in healthy condition.

How Thiers, Government Views
Matters.
LONDON, March 21.-The Government
at Versailles has addressed reassuring
circular to the Projects of the Depart
ments informing them that the situation
in Paris is no worse. The revolution,
dishonored by its criminal acts, is unani-
mously disavowed. Gen. De Chaussey
and other officers are still detained
by the insurgents, but there are
hopes of their speedy release. The
mayors of Paris protest against and re-
fuse to carry out the illegal orders for
communal elections. The Assembly
unanimously condemns the disorders and
their authors. The Nationals now only
demand the nomination of Soissett. The
government promises speedy interven-
ton of the army now rallied before Yer
sailles, and concludes with assurances
that the greater part of the country re-
mains calm.
What the Editors Say.
A meeting of the editors of the Paris
press was held to-day, at which resolu-
tons were adopted declaring the canon of
elections for tomorrow should be regard
ed as null and void. Public opinion is
decidedly against the committee which Or
dered. 1t is to be hoped the committee is
not complicated in the illegal and crimi
nal acts of the insurgents, and now is the
time for the National Guards of Paris TO
come forward and put an end to this de-
plorable state of affairs.
LONDON, March 81, $50 P. M.-The
indignities inflicted on Gen. Chaussey,
the many arbitrary arrests made, and the
suspension of the Figaro and Gaulois,
have aroused general indignation. Gre
vey's address yesterday makes a good
impression. The Government at Yer
sailles has resolved to promptly re-
establish order.
How the Country Takes 1t.
The Council at Rouen have voted an
address to the government deploring the
revolution at Paris and asking prompt
measures be taken for its suppression
and promising their support. Similar
addresses signed by private citizens have
been forwarded to Versailles. 1t is an
these addresses will have a good
effect on the working classes. Copies of
the insurrectionary proclamation have
been seized in Rouen and the distribution
of infiamatory appeals forbidden.

The German Parliament was opened

the heroism and discipline Of our armies
and the devotion of our people. We
have what our foretathers struggled for,
the unity of Germany and the security of
her frontiers. Our conviction of future
unity was yelled, but ever present. The
enthusiasm of the people rent the veil.

PEsTH, March 2O.-In the Austro- Hun
garian Diet to-day the Government was
attacked by the opposition for not inter
vening in favor of France during the
negotiations of the prelimlnaiies of peace.
Count Androssy, in reply, defended the
course of the Government. In the course
of his remarks the Premier said it was
the care of the Government for the real
interests of the monarchy that prevented
the use of its good Offices between the
beligerents. The Government would only
follow a war policy if the monarchy was
threatened, and in such event would de-
velop a strength far beyond the general
expectation.

Favorable 20 the Company.

The Winchester and Alabama Rail-
road-Agreed Basis of SettIement-
Favorable TO the Company.
Mr. J. G.. Woods, President of thssWin-
chester and Alabama Railroad Company,
has been in the city couple OF days Past,
during which he has fled his snswer on
behalf of his company, to the States pro-
ceeding in our Chancery Court against the
same. After eOnferring with the counsel
for the State, ne, assisted by Col. J. B.
Lamb, of Fayetteville, and they have
agreed to decree, to be entered upon the
re- opening of the court some two weeks
hence, which is quite favorable to the
company and not unfavorabis to the State,
which promises to end the litigation as to =
that road. The purport of the agree
ment, we learn, is that proof shall
be taken as to the value Of the
road, under which the company shall have
the right, upon payment Of the value so
ascertained within sixty days from the date
of the decree, to the absolute ownership Of
the road, conditioned that such valuation
shall not be less than $500, 1000 in the
bonds Of the State. If within sixty days
the valuation amount subject 10 this mini
mum, shall not be paid by the company,
then thirty days are allowed the stock
raise the amount in the bonds Of the State
and take the road If at the expiration Of
ninety days, the three hundred thousand,
or valuation above that amount is not paid,
the commissioners on the part of the State
are authorized to sell the road to the high
est bidder, for any amount it will bring.
Though the minimum fixed is small COM
pared with the apparent debt of the State
against the road, it is quite as much as the
road is worth in its present condition, and
probably more than it would bring under
the hammer. 1t has q valid claim for iron
to the amount of five or six hundred thou
sand dollars against the Federal Govern
ment, which has been transferred to the
State in consideration of State aid, which
ought to be collected, and with proper sf-
fort, no doubt will be. The arrangement,
under all the facts, will be as favorable to
the State ss that of any other of the delin-
quent roads. 1t is also favorable to the
stockholders and to the people Immediate
ly interested in the road, since it affords
them an opportunity to make the purchase
on reasonable terms, and to save the road
to themselves beyond all contingency. 1t
is to be hopedthey will avsil themselves of
the opportunity and raise the sum which
may be required, and not run the risk Of los
ing the road altogether. Proof has alresdy
been taken TO some extent, by MIR. Woods,
and it is probable the valuation viii not
exceed the minimum fixed by the agree
ment, which will be the order OF the
Court. ..r ,.---a
