Germany
JVom the Tribune.
There to, uniDintakably, a marked change In
the situation in Germany. The Prussian Govern
ment ha chanaed its warlike lanRuaae; it has
become less threatening and defiant, and, in lis
last diplomat c notes, speRk more of the preser
vation of peace than of the probability of war.
Of course, the world Interprets this as a defeat
of Bismaik, who, It is said, has already deemed
It most expedient to offer his relgnai.1on.
The opposition to the Prussian project of ae
praudizcmeut had, ol late, assumed formidable
dimension. None ot the minor C'overnnionts
eeem to have defined their position as regards
the conflict to the satislactljn of Prussia, and
one ot the latest reports says that Bavaria,
Haxouv, Wurcembi re, Baden, and H?sio-Darin-mailt
would an, in case of war, be on the side of
Austria. A still greater imresmon has been
made in Berlin, by the determined attitude of
the Prussian people, who, with an unparalleled
unaiiiniit y, and with a boldness which has taken
all Germany by mirpri.so, declared their opposi
tion to a civil war and to tbe annexation of
HcblcAwlfr-LIolritcin against the will ot the in-lab-tan
U.
The Prussian proposal tor the convocation of
German Parliament U favorably received by
many Liberals, without, however, diminishing
their detestation of Hisnark and their opposi
tion to a civil war. The bid for the pood-tvill of
the Liberal pnrfy, whioh Disinark intended in
appoiihiiK to universal sufl'rase to the diiuay
01 most o'.' his adherents has induced the Aus
trian Governm',nt to make an important con
cession to the Liberal party of !ermany. It no
lonpcr claims tor the Federal Diet the exclusive
rip lit to decide the question of succession In the
Jiucliics, but it proposes that the Austrian and
Prussian troops shall both bo withdrawn and
the people ot Schleiwitt-Holstein choose a Gov
ernment by universal suffrage. As tlm pro
position prants (he chief demand of the Liberal
party of Germanv, and will robably obtain th
assent ot the minor German Government and
ot the other European powers, it stands a pood
chance of success. If carried, it will be au im
portant victory of Austrian diplomacy, and a
liiortilving and humiliaiinc deleatof Prussia.
The Fleets in tbe Fishing Grounds.
J"rom the Times .
Tko rather powerful and warlike fleets, be
longing to ELgland and the United States
respectively, have assembled in the fishing
grounds, near the eastern coast of Maine,
within the last month or two. The ostensible
and real object of both the British and the
American fleet is the same with only a dlirerent
application in each case, viz., to see that the
Tights of the citizens ot both powers are re
spected, and that in neither case is there any
infraction thereot by the other. The pretext
or the necessity for their appearance is lound in
an incident arisine Irom our abrogation ot the
Reciprocity Treaty, which restricts the ranae of
American fishermen, and in the danger which
consequently springs irom their being de
barred a privilege which they have long
enjoyed. Prior to the establishment of tho
Reciprocity Treaty there were always dis
putes about the rithts of our fishermen
in tbse waters; but that treaty enlarged them
to the utmost limits ot our desire. . is'ovv thac
they are again restricted, it is harder even than
it was before tor our fishermen to endure it: tor
they have both experienced tho pleasure ol un
restrained Ireedom, and been able to measure
its intrinsic protit in tbis particular matter.
TUty are very apt, therefore, in this time of
annoyance aud lot, to uo bevond what ars now
considered their legil and legitimate rights, and
trespass upon what is now the exclusive posses
sion ot others. And the British or provincial
iishcrmen, who now lind themselves in the en
joyment of a special and valuable privilege, are
very apt, in their eagerness to euard against its
infringement, to be hasty and overbearing, and
go beyond even themselves.
It is the duty of the American navy to pre
vent our citizens passing beyond the bounds to
which our Government has agreed, and it is the
duty of tbe British fleet to guard what are
claimed as exclusively British rights. And
again, it is the duty ot the British navy to check
any uncalled-far interference on the part of
British fishermen, and It is the duty of the
American fleet to guard the rights of our own
citizens.
Tbe duties are not difficult if the respective
paities are tabued with a lust and friendly
spirit, and act in an honorable and courteous
maimer. But the s'tuatiou is perilous if there
should be a spirit of baste and resentment, and
a fctle of rigidity and imperion&nes3 on either
side. For. where citizens of two nations are
arruyed aeninst each other on a question of a
cb:iraeter like ihis, and where armed forces arc
assembled within view ot one another to assert
mid maintain the rights and privileges of each,
there is nothing more likely to napuen, here or
there, now or then, than some sort of misunder
standing or petty quarrel, or incidental colli
sion, which will grow or intensify, until a slate
of affairs is reached all but, If not altogether, be
yond the reach of compromise.
Hence the necessity ol our naval commander
in that quarter being impressed with the pro
toundesr helms of the delicacy of their duties
and position. There is no danger. ol American
naval officers exhibitincr, in any presence, any
lack of high-toned traits of character, or the
most honorable pride, prolesHlonal and national.
We aie unqualifiedly prud of our glorious navy
in ibia respect, aud in all other respects. There
is ouly a little danger that its spir.t may bo un
duly aroused, on some occasion, by some un
toward incident, and i hat, in quick resentment
lor some unauthorized wrong it may inconti
nently lead us into irremediable misfortune. As
tbe commander ot tho North At'autio Pqtiudron,
however, we are glad to hear that Admiral Far
raeut has placed in command ol the vessels in
that locality olllcers as eminently cltted with
discretion as they are celebrated for pluck. And
we are happy to learn that between tho officers
of tho Bnriah and American fleets assembled in
the Ssblng BTonnds, there have been frequent
exchanges ot courtesies, and ulwavs a so rit
ot amity, that promises the best results to
the end.
Ibo Reconstruction Crnne of Con?res
A Revolution In the Government.
Frntn the Herald.
The reconstruction scheme of the Joint com
mittee of Congress is at length, before the
country. It is a very ingenious contrivance.
At the first glance, though rigid in some of its
stipulations, it appears not only reasonable,
but magnanimous in others, and is altogether
a much milder system ot treatment for Southern
restoration than any one could have dreamed
el, evtn a month ago, as likely to emanate
irom the radical "Central Directory" of Wash
ington. It Is somewhat remarkable that th committee
do not reject the work uf reconstruction done
by the Presideut, as involving a series of
measures of usurpation unlawlui and void. It
is really summing that tliey admit the
validity of all his acts and tbe statesmanship
of all his instruction in relerence to th
reorganization of the excluded State. But so It
is. From his initial Vmrinia and North
Carolina proclamations of May last down to
this day, all the proceedings ot the Executive
looking to the reclamation of the btates
delivered from the Rebellion are approved and
accepted by Con cress. The processes by which
he secured the ratification ol tbe great Constitu
t.onal amendment abolishing and interdicting

slavery are considered as satisfactorily settling
vuhv qut-puon. ins exceptions oi loading
liebcls in his amnesty proclamation, and hU in
structions to his provisional governors in rejrard
to the debts of the Rebellion, ars interwoven in
this Congressional plan. His views, too, of the
excluhive authority of the States over tho suf
frage question are accepted; and, above all, the
status ol the late insurgent Btaus, as dotinsd In
his annual messace. is recognized as correct, to
..wh-i-that the Rebellion impaired thejr functions
as Hiate.s, foul did not destroy them. Of course
this df cision of the joint committee involves the
rejecl'on ot tbe btevens and rlumnor theory,
that the States wrested irom the insurgent
government ol Jctf. Davis by lorce of arini are
in the condition of unorganized territories con
quered from a lorelgn power.
From the teachings of common sense, the
successful workug ol President Johnson's
policy, and the pressure of public opinion, this
radical Congress has been constrained to reject
the Jacobin absurdities ot btevens and to' re
cognize the wisdom and validitv of the views
and measures ot reconstruction aioyleJ by tho
Administration. So far, then, we have a capitu
lation ol the-tadicals to the Executive. After
five months ot exhausting researches and labor
this loint committee of Congress tin 1 that they
tan do nothing better thin lollo win the wake
ol Andrew Johnson, as the only hope ot attain
ing their ultimate designs. Here, however, we
reach the point of departure.
The President holds that loyal members elected
fioni tbe excluded States, a already recon
ducted, ought lo bo admitted into ffonsress;
but Congress pleads the necessity of lurthcr
s. curi'ies for the future, lor the national debt,
prd the rhts of the Southern black0. The ad
dition of twenty-two Southern Senatois and
eighty Representative' to Congress from States
warm from the late Rebellion may give tlmso
nun the tower, wih the aid of Northern Cop
pi ; hci.ds, to mm the countrv. This Is tho plea
lor an indefinite term of Southern probation,
and hence it is proposed, in tlie shape, of a Con
stitutional amendment, that "until the 4th of
Jiil.v, 170, all persons who voluntarily adhered
to the late in-inrecion, giving it aid and com
fort, shall be excluded Irom the right to vote lor
members ol Congress and Presidential electors,"
and that negroes shall be counted for repre
sentation in the ratio of the number admitted tj
the right of sutl ratio.
Here we get at the milk in the cocoanut. In
the course of the late Rebellion, excepting a few
rcsoiute Union men here and there, the whole
white population ot the revolting States was im
olieated in it. Such, theu, is to Do iheir exclu
sion from our Fetral elections till 187U. Then,
again, their black population is to be counted
according to the suffrage granted them by the
States concerned. This btr.kes oil' one-hali the
n. embers of t'onenss to which th- excluded
Slates world othcrwiso be entitled. The amend
ment embrac'ng these terms is to be ratified oy
three-fourths ot the Leclslatures of all the States',
aud the Southern States air to shnoe their local
lfiws to meet it, and then they may come Into
Ccntrress, if their members elect are duly quali
fied in Ofticr respects
Now, let us assume that this scheme will pass
bv two-thirds of the present Congress, and that,
whether rati 'led or not, it servi s the purpose of
securing to the pnity iu power the next Presi
dent and the Coneress elected with nun, what
then? Whv. then, in all probability, on some
pretense or other, the e:.cluded States will still
re kept out, until reduced to the condition ot
Ireland under England, or Poland under Rus
sia. The disfranchisement of a whole people, to
bcg.n with, inevitably leads to their indefinite
exclusion Jrom political power. This Congres
sional scheme of reconstruction, therefore, looks
to a revolution in the Government, beginning
w ith the exprciso of despotic powers over the
South, but where is it to end ? "Treason is a
crime, and tra'tors omrht to be punished;" but
ve cannot outlaw the people of eleven State or
the Union without endaijrering the liberties of
tiio other twenty-five. Lf t us watch and see
bow this question is treated In Congress, for
there ar e in it the elementsof a revolution.
The Reconstruction Abortion.
From the World.
The plan of reconstiuction reported by the
"Central Directory" belies every pretense,
whether promissory or apologetic, put forward
during the winter by the advocates of delay.
The appointment of such a committee Implied
that reconstruction, in some form, was the
appropriate business of (Aii Congress. If the
Southern States are not to resume their Federal
privileges until after the year 1870, they will
have no voice cither in this Congress or in the
next, or in the next after that next. The Con
press which succeeds the present will bo elected
in tbe autumn ol 18GG, and Us successor in 1868;
so that the proposed disfranchisement of the
Southern people till after the 4th of July, 1870,
would exclude them from representation for
three tuccessive Congresses, or the full period
of six years alter the close of the war. If this
scheme Is to prevail, all action might as well
have been deterred till this long period has ex
pired. It there is to be no immediate result, a
luiiire Congress would have tho advantaee of
acting on tuller knowledge and a riper appre
ciation of still undeveloped facts.
The Reconstruction Committee, during the five
mouths they have had this subject in charge,
have employed themselves, or, at least, have
prolessed to employ themselves, in making in
quiries and collecting information respecting
the actual condition and present public senti
ment ot the South. The witnesses they have
examinea nave Deen ettner southern residents, (
like Geueral Lee, Alexander H. Stephens, and ,
Governor Sharkey, or military officers whose
tervice in that section, since the war, has given I
them opportunities ol observation. But what
good end is served by all tnis ostentatious bustle
ot examining countless witnesses, it reconstruc
tion is to be so long deferred ? The ascertain
ment of the present state ol Southern public sen
timent implied an intention to devise a scheme
ot reconstruction adapted to this present
Fennraent. On any rational mode of judging,
this cov.ld lead only to one ol these two results:
either that reconstruciou is, at present, inex
pedient, nnd tnit nothing ouirht i I e done; or
else, the proposal oi eouie plan which all these
protracted inquiries into the state ot Southern
public sentiment afforded a reasonable presump
lion that the South would accept. Either nothing
tlioi.ld be attempted, or tlte something which
has, at least, some taint chance of success. If
Ibo inquiries of the committee have brought
ihetn to the conclusion tlut, in the present
tmper ot tbe South, no mode of reconstruction.
at once acceptable to it and safe for tho coun
try, wits posnible, the committee should have
concluded their labors by a report to that effect.
To propose a plan whose certain and deciive
rejection by the South no sane man can doubt,
is to trifle with the subject. If, in the opinion
ol tbe committee, reconstruction is impossible,
tbey should have fraukly said so.
Certain it is. that neither they nor anybody
can honestly hold Buch an opinion. It U not
ouly known, but notorious, that the revolted
States have been ripe for reconstruction ever
since Congress met. There haB been no neces
sity lor doing aught to coax them in; the great
trouble and task of Congress has been to shut
them out. This wes the ote business ot the
Republican caucus held betore the organization.
The Reconstruction Committee, agreed on in
that caucus, was notoriously a connivance lor
exclusion. The Southern members were on the
ground, eager for admit-sion. The Committee
could not, therefore, without flying in the teeth
of v ell-known tacts, have reported that recon
struction is not yet possible. They were con
ftiaiced to report, il they reported at all, some
thing w hich might be held up to the public as a
plan ol leconstruction.
But wLat loelcal, nay, what possible, connec
tion has the plan reported with the previous
labors ot the committee f How ean it be made
to appear that it is founded on, adapted to, or
that it in any way results from, the testimony
which the committee has so laboriously taken f
Why could not this plan have Just as well been
formed previous to the testimony as since? One
lending feature of the plan is tbe proposed
change in the basis of representation, reducing
that of the South by deducting tbe wbolo nogro
population unlcM the adult male netrroes are
allowed td vote. ,There wassurelf no need of a
five months invctiiration into th condition
of the South to decide on a proposition like
th s. Whether such an amendment to tho
Constitution is politic or Impolitic, depends on
nothing which has been elicited bv tho com
mittee's tedious inquiry. Its argumentative
dei'tiKs o tarns t has uny; rests on thcrdis'-propoit-ftn,
as -the--Const ttirrti now stands,
.between the number ol Southern representative
and the -nnmher-of Southern voters. Imt
this disproportion ii a mere, rrxuter of arith
n etio, having no connection with the com
mittee's live months labor. It was lust as
ascertainable without examining a sincle wit
nefs as alter the examination ol five hundred.
The disproportion is no mow an object . on to
the immediate restoration of tho South than
it was to the or ginal formation ot the
Union. The South has always bad representa
tives tor its negio population; and is entitled
to no more, till niter ibe census of 1870, than
It would have hnd if slavery had conunued.
But whether many or few, it is a point
which has no relation lo the endless exami
nation of wttnesf.es kept up by the commit
tee. And yet ths is the main (permanent)
lenture ot their reported plan of reconstruction.
Another of tne four sections of tho proposed
constitutional amendment torbids the payment
of the Rebel debt. Now, whether this part of
the plan guards against a real or an unreal
danger, it is equally certain that It required
no iirotraeted investitration to reach the recom
mendation, which rests on entirely other
grounds than anv ascertained by the inquiiy.
Another section of the proposed amendment
declares that a'l citizens ot the United States
shall enjoy equal protection of the laws. If the
Civil Rights bill is constitutional, this is an
excrescence; but be this as it may, it is a recom
mendation which could have been as intelli
gently made five months ago, a at any time
since. Its defense will not be rested on any
fac's fti-cu tamed by the committee, but on its
alleged inti'ni ic justice. So lar as reaards this
part of their plan, there Is nothing in the con
clusion of tho committee to excuse the tedious
loretb ot their investigation.
Ihc only remaining part of the proposed Con
stiUitioral amendment is that which disiran
chines till the year 1870, all who In any way
aided the Rebellion. This, ?o tnr from being a
legitimate result ol the testimony taken by the
committee, Is a conspicuous prool of the dis
honesty ot their report. What kind of testimony,
pi ay, would lead to tho conclusion that the
Southern people cannot salely be allowed to
vole lor t'oneiefruien and President previous to
1670, and may be salely trusted to do so there
ottir f It the temper of tho Southern people
glvis reason to apprehend a new rebo'iiou, they
would he more likely to attempt it subsequent
than previous to 18i0: since they need at least
our years to recover from the desolating
etiects of the one just closed, aud
to recruit their exhausted means. Whatever
may be their present temper, they are, lor the
coiiiiup lour ears, tiniineiully prostrate, and v
tlieielore powerleM to rebel. Whv nut latter M
en a man Olsahled bv woimos and the loss ot
hlood. to be removed as noon aa he lecovers hia
EticiiRth? Or would tbe committee have us
thins that the measures tliey propose aro bo
caleulated to soothe, that tour years trial of
tl eni will win the South back to cordial loalty?
The committee needed no testimony to teach
them thnt one and all of their mea
sures will be distasteful and irritatinc to the
South. Ihey will perhaps intorm the coun
tiy biree when human nature Is so
clumped that provocation and Insult, have be
come allurements to love. It the committee
loamt anything from their investiga'ion. they
must have learnt that the South thinks io has a
clear rignt to Immediate restoration, and feels
that the hostile attitude ot Concresa is unjust.
Unlets Injustice tuda to conciliate, whatever
alienation now exist would be constantly
deepened dtirinc tin tour jears of disfranchise
ment. If, therelore, the unreconciled temper of
the South is the ground of disfranchisement,
the reasons for it will be stroneer tbur'years
hence than they arc now. It is evident, then,
that thh part of the committee's plan, like
every oi her part ol it, is not founded ou, aud
1ms uo relation to. the mountain of tes.imony
they have spent the winter and spring1 in
aecumulntina. They have consumed all this
time in pritendinir to lay a foundation on which
nothing, iust nothing, precisely neither more
nor le-s than nothing, is built.
The prctracted investigation, then, Mncc
nothing has come of it, since no part of tho
proposed plan U founded on it, or has any rela
tion to it, was a dishonest sham a mere expe
dient for procrastination. The Bole thing it has
accomplished is to afford a standing excue,
while it lasted, for the non-ad .nission ot the
Southern members to their scats. Having, in
this manner, worn awav tho creator part of the
cession, and exhausted the public patience, they
at last make a report, the materials for which
were as hilly In their possession before they had
suorna single witness, as alter they bad con
cluded their investigation. The report being in
no respect founded on the testimony, stamps
all their previous proceedings with irrelevancy,
ii nd establishes against them the charge of dis
honest delav. The report Is just as disnonest,
aud no more dishonest than the Investigation
both having the same dissimulated purpose of
postponing and preventing tbe restoration of
the Union.
