BISMARCK wITHDRAWs CoSCILIAToRY REMARKS.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The Reichstag was to-day en-
gagged in discussion upon the estimates Of the
Foreign Once. The Ultram0ntane Deputy,
Windhorst, spoke as length. He assalled the
Government for suppressing the legation at the
Vatican, and declared that such action would not
estrange the German Catholics from the Pope.
Bismarck also spoke. He said that upon read
ing the report of the last debate in the Chamber
he discovered that he had expressed conciliatory
sentiments which he must now withdraw, because
he did not desire to expose himself to the misrep
resentatiOn that the Imperial Government sought
peace with Rome upon any terms. Germany rec
OgniEed the Pope as the head Of the Catholic
Church, but required no legation at the Vatican.
IfnegotiatiOns with the Pope arc necessary they
can be conducted through the ambassador to
Italy. So long as the Pope urged the Catholic
clergy to break the laws Of the States in which
they live, diplomatic relations between himself
and Germany were useless. The Vatican desired
victory for Franco in the late war. That could
be proved. In conclusion, Bismarck said he would
meet Windhorst IN discussion on the subject
again in the PrussIan Diet.
A STARTLING DECLARATION ny BISMARCK.

Of conclusive evidence that the Eeumenieal COun-

know from the very best sources that Napoleon
was dragged into the war very much against his
will by Jesuitical influences. He strove hard to
resist these influences. At the eleventh hour he
determined on peace and kept his resolution half

sons representing the Vatican"

CIVIL SERVICE.

The President is Of the opinion that the
principle of civil service has been adhered to
as far as possible, in the face of the strenuous
opposition it has met with in various quarters,
but that it is impossible TO continue It without
the cordial support of Congress and the people.
He thinks civil service, so far as it has had a
fair trial, has proved of great benefit to the
Government service in all its branches.

THE NAVAL DRILL
The Secretary gives the following interesting
and complete account Of the great naval drill Of
the coast Of Florida: "The affair Of the Virgin
ius having oceasioned the concentration of naval
force OF our aTmOred and unarmored ships Of war
in the waters near the Cuban coast, much more
considerable than had been assembled at any
time since the civil war, and the disturbed rela-

In reference to Indian affairs the President
thinks that q continued adherence to the

to both Indians and whites. Nothing has

to induce him to alter his mind with regard
to the many advantages to both races which

EXCITING DEBATE ON THE UNIVERSITY BILL.
PARIS, Dec. 5-Evening.-Thc National Assem-
bly, has been engaged In an exciting debate for
the past two days on the bill which was sup
ported by the clerical Deputies tor freeing the
University from the control Of the State. The
principal speakers were the Bishop Dupanloup,
Legitimist, and Challamel La Cour, Radical
Deputy for the BOuehes du Rhope.
Bishop Dupanloup, in the course of his re-
marks to-day, passiOnately declared that danger
to society was to be apprehended from tho friends
Of those who favored the shooting of the Arch
bishop Of Paris. This remark Oecasioned great
tumult in the Chamber.
Upon the restoration Of order ChallameI La
Cour retorted upon the Bishop.
DupanlOup, in q speech Of great bitterness
said he left such personalities to the Judgment Of
honest men, and those who had some regard left
for the dignity of the French EpiseOpate.
Upon conclusion Of the discussion the bill
passed its second reading BY vote Of $50 against
I33.

were adopted as the sense Of the meeting. They
were to the effect that It would be best to permit
q discussion Of constitutional bills first, and
await the result, which was sure to be their de-
feat; then all the factions Of the Left should
unite In vote in favor Of dissolution.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

ChINEsE IMMIGRATION
With regard to Chinese immigration the
President is strongly impressed with the ne
cessitY of early Congressional action on this
subject, with view to prevent the importa-
ton of female Chinese for immoral purposes,
and also to prevent the importation of coolies.
Any proper law passed by Congress on this
subject will meet his cordial approval and be
strictly enforced.
THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
In his message the President refrains from
any extended alIusion to the reports of the va
Tious Cabinet Ministers, leaving them to stand
on their own merits.
UTAH NOT MENTIONED.
The message contains no allusion to the Ter
ritory OF Utah. If found necessary, the affairs
of Utah will be made the subject of a special
message to Congress.
OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
With the exceptions of Spain and Venezuela,
the United States is at peace with all the
world. However, the questions at issue be-
tween the United States and the Powers above
mentioned are not of character to cause any
serious apprehension. It was the hope of the
President TO have been able in his present
message to announce the satisfactory termina-
ton Of these negotiations, but circumstances

States had no control combined to delay q set
