YESTERDAY mornings London Tee
grapH, in an article on the meeting Of
the emper1rs Of Russia and Germany,
held on Saturday, says that it is impos-
sib!e to conceal the truth. The conti-
mental situatiOn wears this morning the
very gravest aspect; if We were to say
;hst the question Of tha future repose OF
Europe may be practically solved before
forty-eight hours have passed, we would
scarcely 20 beyond facts. The tendency
At this hour is decidedly pacific. Other
London journals likewise comment on
the meeting, but the thought Of war
IL generally discredited. 1t is reported
rom Paris that the French government
prsi5ivelv c0ntradicts the assertion that
Germ any has recently made representa-
tjous Of a hostile tendency. The same
dj=patch contains statement, believed
20 be semi-offi cial, that no cause Of con-
fict exists between Germany and
France. and thai advices from all the
capiysls Of Europe are Of the same tenor,
and thst pacific ideas are everywhere in
the ascendant.

Tne aouthern RenlIst Consenl1op.

CHARLESTON, s. c., May .S-The
Southern Baptist convention accom-
plished to-day large amount Of busi-
ness. Action was taken heartily COOP
Grating with the northern Baptists in
the literary and theological education of
the colOred people. The northern Bap-
lists have schools at Richmond, Raleigh,
Columbia, Augusta, Nashville and New
Orleans. The southern Baptists co.
operate with these individually aud
through their home mission board. Re-
ports were adopted, also, full OF cheer as
to the southern mission work in China
and Italy. The African missions will
be discussed Monday. 1t was decided
to continue the publication of Kind
Words, their southern Sunday-scheol
paper. Resolutions were also passed
recommending the patronage OF the
Southern Baptist ReVie1O, provided it
can be successfully accomplished. This
is proposed to be done by the Southern
Baptist publication society of Memphis.
The next convention will meet at Rich
mond, Virginia, in May, 1873.

counties in New York make extremely
unfavorable returns. The proportion to
be replanted in other crops averages IA

ments have all the general reserved
powers of sovereignty not delegated
to the United States Government, or
not inhibited by its constitution.
They are also supreme to the extent
of their reserved powers. There is no
paramount sovereignty, but q co-or-
dinate sovereignty.
Resolved, That neither the late
civil war, nor the l4th, 18th or 10th
amendments has altered the funda-
mental character of the general gov
ernment.
These amendments simply delegate
to it few additional specified powers
and create additional, linlitpi inhib-
itations upon the States. they are
subject to the same strict rlIlts ol COR
struction as the original Instrument.
Resolved, That both the States and
General Government to the extent of
their respective sovereign powers are
operative on all the persons and prop
erty within their respective territorial
limits, and each has right to maintain
and use police and military force for
the execution of its laws.
Resolved, That for the immediate
determination of all ques tions of pow
er as between the several States and
the United States, without lease
made,o there should be provided by
constitutional amendment High
Court of States, consisting of one
Judge appointed and paid by each
State, and Il Chief Justice to be APP
pointed and paid by the United States.
The President, Congress, Governor, or
Legislature, and possibly other public
officers of any State, when Il question
arises in their official action, involv-
ing conflict between the constitution
or laws of State, and the constitu-
ton or laws of the United States,
should be required to submit to this
High Court such questions with ali
the official facts pertaining thereto.
If thought proper, this court could be
divided and clothed with the functions
of the present Supreme and Circuit
Courts, in the transactions of ordinary
civil and criminal business, giving the
Supreme Court to the different Sec
tions of the country.

Letter From Monte Vista.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The Democrats are
soon to meet in Council, and enclosed
are some thoughts in the form of reso-
lutions, which 1 deem proper to SUBJ
nit for criticism. AS am not men,
ber of the Convention, 1 know no bet
ter medium than yourself and the COL
umns of your paper and others for car
rying them to the members of the
Convention.
l have not the assurance to suppose
that the resolutions contain any
thoughts that others have not con-
ceived, nor that they are in any better
form than the Convention would put
them, still they are the result of much
reflection upon the subject, the two
first resolutions being substantially
the same as those introduced by my
self in the Convention of 1851. Ihave
been specially moved to write these
resolutions, by seeing newspaper
paragraph to the effect that a distin-
guished jurist has said that the 14th,
10Th and 10th amendments change
the character of our government, maxi
ing it, instead of a federal, central
lied national government. L trust,
Mr.. Editor, that the Convention, of
which you are member, will make
such nominations and frame such q
platform as Independent Democrats
can support. There must be solid
characters composing the ticket, If 1t
is expected that the large body of In
dependent Democrats will vote it.
Resolved, That the United States Gov
ernment is one Of limited sovereign
powers delegated to it by the several
States or the people thereof. 1t is su-
preme to the extent of the powers del
egated.
RESOLVED, That the State Govern
