A Reformatory for Women.

The bill introduced into the Assembly by
Mr.. SuLzER. and into the Senate by Mr.. Nc
MAHON. providing for tho establishment OF
q reformatory for women. TO bc situated
within the counties Of New York and Kings.
is approved by the local authorities. and
with some amendments suggested by
Recorder SMYTH. meets with his hearty
communication.
In this State. at Hudson and at Albion,
there are two such reformatories: but man
ifestly II such an institution Is requisite
anywhere. it Is most OF all needed for tho
great population of New York and Brooklyn
The purpose OF the establishment gener-
ally is to accomplish for girl and women
convicts what the Elmira Reformatory
sets out to perform for boys and young
men. II is to save them from the vicious
association with old and hardened Offend
ers. and thus to make their confinement Of
moral benefit to them instead OF corrupting
In it's influences.
The sum appropriated for this reforma-
tory Is moderate. only 500, 900. and the good
and charitable women who are earnest for
it's establishment. think that 1t can be COM
pleted for that amount. or at least only q
little more.
Mr.. SUFFERS bill. 1t seems to US. deserves
the favor OF the Legislature.

century. only to be restored with increased
power and dignity. He refused to regard
the reconstruction OF Germany. effected
In 1865 and 1871, as final. seeing
that even the arrangements made by
the Congress Of Vienna. unacceptable as
they were to the mass OF the German peo-
pie. had lasted thirty-three years. and yet
were repudiated In 1848. As that system
had been long upheld by the vigilance OF
METTERNIcH. 80 the new order might be
held together by the strong arm Of Bis
MARCK. The one regime no more than the
other would lie likely to survive the In
fluence Of its creator. in the opinion of the
late King of Hanover. and it would. there
fore. be an act OF suicide not to keep the
claims OF his family alive. This conviction
was shared by considerable fraction Of
the Hanoverians. notwithstanding that
they had no reason to love their last two
sovereigns. who had offered the most stub
born resistance to the popular demand for
parliamentary Institutions. The truth is
not that the Hanoverians particularly love
the GUELpHs. but that they detest the
HoHENzoLLERNs. Nor arc the recent ebul-
litions Of overweening arrogance and almost
insane contempt for popular rights on the
part OF WILLIAM II. likely to reconcile
them to their Prussan ruler.
It is easy to see. however. what almost
irresistible pressure would be brought upon
the present Duke OF Cumberland to prevail
upon him to depart from the line OF conduct
laid down by his father. Not only would
the restitution OF the private property of
his family enable him to maintain his chill
dren in way suited to their rank. which
was positive incentive. but he had reason
to fear that Prussia would punish him II he
persisted in refusing to rcnouncc his claims.
In the first place. the GUELPH Fund. which
SO far had only been sequestrated. might
be confscated and turned over irrecovera-
bly, to the Prussian treasury. In the second
place. the Duchy Of Brunswick. which after
the death Of the last ruler had been placed
in the hands Of a provisional administrator.
might be formally incorporated with tho
Prussian territory. Which would be better
for his son. to remain like his father and
grandfather q needy pretonder to the
throne OF Hanover. or to become the reign
ing Duke OF Brunswick. possessing the
same rights Of local self-government and OF
representation In the Bundesrath which be-
long to the Kings Of Saxony. Bavaria. aud
Wnrtemburg?
A huge fortune for himself. a crown for
his eldest son; that Is what the Duke OF
Cumberland has accepted in lieu OF preten
sions which he has come to look upon as
shadowy. Whether. however. he would
have made the bargain il his wisest adviser

Hanover and Prussia.

1t Is now officially announced that the
long pending negotiations between the
Prhssiun Government and tho representa-
two Of the former house OF Hanover have
resulted in an agreement. The Duke Of
Cumberland, on his part. renounces for
himself personally all pretensions to Hano-
yer. which was annexed to Prussia in 1866.
md also his claim to tho unannexed Duchy
OF Brunswick. to which he has a title by In
herltunco since the death OF the last Duke.
There is also. 1t seems. a private under
standing that tho son OF the Duke OF Cum
berland shall on coming Of age renounce his
claim To the Hanoverian crown. In consid-
Grafton OF these concessions. PRUSSIA will
permit the young Prince on the attainment
Of his majority to reign over the Duchy Of
Brunswick. and will Immediately restore
TO his father the so-called GUELPH Fund,
that Is to say. tho private property OF the
Hanoverian family which was sequestrated
In 1868. This fund was originally estimated
ut about Sl2.oOO.OOO. but now. with the accu-
mulated interest. 1t amounts to nearly
double that sum.

nothing more than was done by Bavaria
