The Conference al Gastein has confirm.
ed the agreement between Austria and
Prussia on some important principles
The policy and details Of this agreement
we're arranged. The funCtiOnaries whose
services would have been necessary In
drawing a formal treaty were not present;
thus the sGcrCOl the exact terms Is better
kept. The statement that the policy made
by the Vienna cabinet in December last
created situation between Austria
and PRUSSIA which called for more &C.
curate definition Of their relations than
could be secured by the exchange Of tho
diplomatic vote Ot the Gastein conference,
enabled the two Chancellors confidential
conversation 10 reach an understanding
exactly how the interests Of the two pow

vantage; howthelr good understanding
might be utilized In dealing together
against other powers.
The Roumanian railway difficulty has
received a satisfactory solution. This Is
regarded rs happy augury for the appli-
cation Of similar Joint action on future dill.
flculties. The league for maintaining peace
means war against any power that can be
provoked to disturb the peace, and Rus.
sia, knowing the understanding, makes
vast preparations for war.

The Official Printing Law.

The comments below, says the Gazette,
on the official printing law, by the Hele-
ma Shield, a republican paper, are 80 just
that we cannot refrain from coping them.
The Shisld tells us in plain words how
it is corruptly used to advance the inter
ests of the administration. Itsays:
The recent proclamation Of Governor
Hodley, ignoring the legal right OF the
Osceola Times, a respectable conserva-
tive journal, published in Mississippi
county. to insert advertisements that are
required by law to be published in some
newspaper in the State, is, We think, an
unwarrantable species of prescription,
and well calculated to produce no good
result for the republican party. The law,
which conferred upon the executive OF
the State the power to designate what
newspapers should he clothed with the
authority to publish legal advertisements,
we have regarded as, in many respects,
unjust, to use the mildest term; though
this paper, for time (until We favored
the cnfranchisement Of all the white peo.
pie Of Arkansas), was the recipient ol
the same for five counties, and u ca.
again offered TO the Shisid, Jew ~eek.
since, V is proprietor could consent to b.
bound hand and foot, and not be allowed
to raise their voice in favor OF clothing
with the right of suffrage, old citizens
friends. ncighbors, tax payers, and law
abiding men who may have, perchance
held Office before the rebellion, and after
wards given aid thereto This we could
not do. Hence the Clarion was continu
ed as the official organ OF the republican
party in Phillips county, aud has now, as
we are informed by the governors proc
lamation, been designated rs the official
paper for Crittenden and Mississippi
counties. This move Of the governor
in his effort to crush out the Osccols
Times, by taking away from IL the public
printing which it enjoyed (usder differ
ent ownership, however), at time tha,
il was hostile to the election Of Colonel
Roots, the republican nominee for con
gress in this district, is not especially cal
culatcd to benefit the cause OF true re-
publican ideas and opinions.
