MAY. 29, JL8GG. THE NEW YORK PRESS. TUTORIAL OPINIONS OF LEADING otlRNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. CCKPIIID ITir.T DAY Kin EVEMt.0 TELEORAPII Later News liom Euiope-State of A flairs. Prvm the lUiald. V.e received .yesterday bv tbo steamship City of Lobton, from Qtit'ciietown, two days' later news than that which, wo Iniu before our readers vu SunJuy, by tlie America and Saxonia. The. di.U by the City of JJoston are up to May 17. The news bears a more hopoiul aspect, both with regard to the question of war and the fini.ucial stnte ot aflairs, although there had been little chnnce. While mutters were not getting wor.e, apparently, there was room for lioi.e; and this suppunhion of threatened evil Hayed in some degiee apprehension and ex citement. The newest feature about the war question is found in a popular demonstration in Uerlin asblnst the policy of the Prussian government and in the extraordinary armament of Austria. Llecliong are to take place shortly in Prussia, una Itoui the public sentiment shown at a larsro meeting of electors in Berlin, there 1b some reason to believe the oovsrument may not be sustained lu its warlike and ambitious policy. The Prus sian people are much concerned just now about the interna) affairs of the country. They want rclorm and stronger guarantees lor their liberties. The Government under liis ninrk, on the contrary, is arbitrary and highly coi.servaiive, il not reactionary ; and one ol tin motive or creating this war fever, no doubt, wa to swamp the political movement at home. It appears, however, that the Prussians begin 10 bp through this and are setting their tares ncainnt the course punned by the Government. It this popular and sensible view of the situa tion taken by the mass meeting in Berlin should be generally entertained by the people, and deputies be elected holding the same view, the Government maybe compelled to give up its war policy. There is the chance still that Count liismarlc, ioreseeing this, and beinq; bent on canjing out his policy, may precipi tate war beioie tha voice ot tho people cm bo heaicl. The formidable attitude of Austria, too, may causa Prussia to hesitate. It is statfd that Austria would have within two or three weeks nine hundred thousand men under arms. Ttiis shows how earnest Austria is in resisting the ambitious pieten B.ons of Prussia, ami what a great military power she is. Tiie voice ot the te-;ser German States may have some weight also. Tbey have Bothnia to gain by u war; indeed, ins likely they would be swallowed up bv one or other of thoir bia neighbors; lor if war should come, it will bo one of ambition purely and would end In a re construction of the map of Europe, the aggran dizement of the great powers and the annihila tion of the small ones. The lolty and lar-reach-ing policy ot Count Iiismark undoubtedly is to consolidate the German people under one great power, and Prussia to be that power. For this he claims all the spoils of iniquitous war on Den mark, and lor this he will make nn ally of Ita lians and cause Germans to spill the blood of Germans. If the question were narrowed down to one between Prussia and Austria only, tne nnliUry power the latter displays, aud public sentiment, might have the cirect of causing the former to keep the peace; but the difliculty lies in Italy. Victor Emanuel, backed by Garibaldi and the Italian people, will take advantage of the pre sent difficulty, if possible, to carry out the p opu lar idea of Italian unity. The Italian Govern ment would U9e Prussia in order to drive the hated Austrlans out of Italy and Venetia, and Prussia would use Italy in order to weaken Austria in Germany. Thus the matter stands, and the only chance there appears to be ot pre venting war is in the attitude of the other creat powers of Europe, aud especially that of France. The very lutest news lndicate-i that these powers may interpose. A Congress is spoken of, and it wati supposed that a reported Conference in Parts between the British and Russian ambas sadors and M. Drouyn de Lhuyshad reference to that. It may be that the dread of war makes the people ot Europe cling to any circumstance that may be construed to favor peace, and that tbey are mistaken as t) the signs of the times. Still, there does appear to be more hope. The fluancial crisis was not entirely over, but there was an abatement of tear and excitement. The Bank ot England 'till maintained the his;h rate of discount, but the pressure upon it had not been so gieat as previously. As far as we are concerned in the Uidturbed'state of aifairs in Europe, we have little to lear. For the sake of humauity we mav wish for peace, but after the nrt shock shall be over, if war should oiine, we will not sutler. There would be at tirst some little derangement at a natural cousetiuenca of our commercial relations with Europe; but in the end our securities would risi higher, and the wealth aud industr? of the Old World would tlow to the New. We may hope lor peace, therefore, lor the hake of humanity; but as 'ar as our tu teicbts ure concerned, we need not lear war. Reconstruction in Congress. .fV'.ro the Tribune. V e bear with satisfaction that the Cniou Senators have been holding several private con ferences with regard to reconstruction, and that theie is a piospect ot agreement that the plan, as it shall be finally shaped by a majority, will (as iu the House) be voted for by all who still adhere to the party. This resolve is so mani festly wise and expedient that we can hardly doubt its ultimate adoption. And, if it is to be adopted at some time, why not lorthwitu ? Had this course been adoptel ut the outlet, the original plan of the Joi:it Committee, pro pohiug in substance that each State which sa.v lit to exclude the colored (or any o'.her) race from power iu the Government, by tlenvin- it the right ol suilraue, should not henceforth be allowed to count that race as a basis ot repre nentation in Congress, would ha.e received more than the required two-thirds vote in tho Senate, as it actually did in he Ilou-e, and would cie this Lave been so fur on the road to railUcation that the ex-Iiebel Suites w.iulil have been required to choose between coming into Congress under it and staying out inderinitely. But Mr. Sumner' unlortunate contempt' for every one's opinion but his own was ullowed to deieat that won righteous aud beuotieent pro position, throwing m back to where wo ber'uu aud it will be difficult to device a subsHrutelu-ii will be so certain at once of commanding tho ast-ent ol the loval Scutes and affording no arouud of even plausible oomplaiut to the other sort Hal that proportion been ndopied, we fclioulj have earned eveiy loyal State triumphantly in our ensuing election)', aud secured impahlul iuflrase throughout the Uuion with n u very few years We need It to help us secure equal rights here in New York, and in most of the lojal States. Connecticut (for example) Is very likely to lo-e a representative in Congress at the next apportionment will almost cei tainlv do so if her blacks should not be counted. Who be lieves tUt she would acain refuse the rieht of suffrage to her blacks, when she would thereby Jose a member ot Congress? And how loni would South Carolina persist hi accepting t w ?L,Tr!iueru.,iel? wlth npKro Proscription rather than live with impartial suifrage? Not six Je?u?i nTa?re tU0R)11y certain. And so of others. Our plattprin of Reconstruction is Known to be -Lnivcwal Amuesty-l-nnartial Suffrage. If the two Houses will embody this In a Const tn tional rmendment, and pass it by a two-thirds Tote, we are leady to stand or fall with it before nteplfn Wedfem 11 'lu,te Pbble that it Kll the ne,xi Conrre against us, and so let in the seceded States on their owu terms but on so trood a platform It is sate to dla, in the lull assurance ot a glorious resurrt-ctlon .i.1' ':a,lnot b" carried, we greatly prefer the amendment first reported from the Joist Coium.ttee to any other. It is short, simple, and not only explains bat eotnmen Is Itself. Thus, in the Connecticut 8enate, last Thursday, Mr, HiiHaid submitted the following, ani brought the body to a vote on it, viz: ' Hcsolved bv the Senate and flouse of Representa tives in Uenoral Anemb'T convenpn, tnat our rei ntors and Ucpiesiitatives in Concioas do, and arc bereliv, riqustl to urire tho pas-ftffeoi such nu end merits to the Constitution o the Unite 1 Mules as will secure to th wblte men of Connecllcnt a k iireen'ation in CoDresi equal to tat accorded to tie white men ol South Carolina " Tbo Democratic Senators voted ni they thought tbny couldn't help it but, if taking an old-tashioned (lose of castor oil, followed bv one ol aljes, and thW by a g.ll apiece ot cut-thrr.at vinenr, would have excused them, they would have taken the drugs and dodg d the vote. The amendment now beioie the Senate la too complicated aud cumbrous. It needs a Ph la deiphia lawyer to expound and elucidate it. That, section which proposes a geneial disfran chisement of ex-Rebels till 1870 Is (we piesunie) to bo stricken out, as we trust it may be. It will never amount to anything in practice if re tained. When a good many were fierce for keeping the Irish from the ballot-boxes, w should have been well content with any substi tute ihnt would prevent their voting more tiian once at the same election. So now, if tne ex Rebels are willing to stand on an equal footing with the rest ot us, we shall be satistied. And i' they should not be obliged to, it will bo lor lack of practical wUdom joined with excess of sell-conceit in Congress. Let it be clearly understood that no plan of rei toration that Congress ian or should devise will be accepted at once by the Southern oli garchy. They will wait, at all events, to see if the Copperheads cannot carry tho next House, eo as to let them in with Hying colors. They mean that not only shall the tatted call be killed to honor their return, but that they shall mo nopolize all tho veal. What Congress now does all it can do is to make up uu isue for the impuuding elections. And areat care i-liinilrt be taken to make this issue so clear and simple that none can misunderstand it. Such are our general views. But. whatever may be tho thapp ultimately elven to the plan of Congress, we nrav evcr'v Union Senator to give it his vote. The Latest Aspect of the Financial and War Panic in Euiopc. From the Timet. The later news from Europe yesterday morning bears out the comparatively lavorable estimate of the financial and polit.cal situation which was brought by the arrivals on Saturday. The Auxerre spoech, us miaht have been looked for, is found, upon clo.;er examination! to admit of a variety of interpretations. The motives of the speech, moreover, which it is so important to reach, are found to be of as dubi ous and conjectuial a character as is tho Impe rial phrateology itself. The speech was partly delivered U Auxerre. But it was only issued in its complete form through the official organ in Paris. It may have had a special inspiration in the traditioual loyalty to the Emperor's family of the district where it was delivered. It may have got Its special poiut and force froia the insubordinate temper shown in the legislative cheers nhichafcw hours previously badgrceted SI. Thiers' denunciation of tho Napoleonic policy ol loreign intervention. It may, again, have had some of its signifi cance in a recollection that Europe, armms to the teeth at every point to-da.y, had rejected the proposal for a general conference when tho troubles which arn now so threatening were only brewing. And yet, further, the oracle at Auxerre mny have been moved to its ominous utterauccs by the discovery that tho German powers were proceeding witn their quarrel without much apparent regard to the tact that trance is still a European power, and the Sove- reign of France an authority to be consulted iu any revision of the map of Europe. The un toward Mexican failure, which so lorciblv illns- trated SI. Thiers' appeal from Ca-sarUm to the solid Interests of the intelligent and lndustriotu classes in France, might likewise, naturallv enough, be part of the inspira'ion tor the occa sion. And looking to these influences cembineJ, it is not so difficult to see cause why the Emperor should relieve himseli by a speech, as to under stand whv he was silent so long. The most remarkable thing about this Auxerre declaration is its temper. It was uulike any previous utterance of the Emperor's in its ex hibition ot a passion almost amounting to rage. There was a concentrated fury, so to speak, in every senieuce. xne reference to the political traditions ot the rural community uddressed; the allusion to the churacter of the support on which the first Empire rolied; the scoin ex pressed lor the commercial as against the agri cultural class, and the bitter characterization of the settlement of 1815. were utterances so pas sionate in their conception that the marvellous ute of words of which the speaker is capable utterly failed to conceal the boiling rage within him. From this state of mind it is easy enough to conclude that the Emperor hud begun to led a tumble sense of weakness and a tailing self conndeuce, which called for ?ome noisy aud loud andeavage proiestlikethntdelivered at Auxerre. W hatever part Italy may have been all alug pla.Miig in the Imperial interest, Aus'ria and Prussia, as the great combatants, have evidently been going on with their dispute, in a great measure indiflerei.t to the policy of the French Government. An equal indilierence has been apparent at St. Petersburg. And there has not been a prospective or opeu outbreak in Eurooe, probably, for centuries, that has causej less politicul uneasiness, or provoked so liUlo re monstrance, in England. Even now that the orsclo has spoken, it is impossible to see that toe political situation is more alarming than it was previously. Few shrewd business men in England connect the late Fpacmodic disturbance in a limited financial cire'e there with the impeiial threats it thread they can be called. That speech rather supplied the tmwMwi tor the suspension of various over speculative films, than hastened their collapse. It was the excuse more than the causa of their downhill the latter havinsr been anticipated by well-inlonned financiers here, several month's ago. Were there any proof of these facts needed, it would be found in the reports by tlue late mails, that the panic has subsided almost as quickly as it arose. I'. then, tho Auxerre tpeech has not. brought nbout any such financial revolution as he alarmists at first anticipated; it it has l.o aggra vated the difficulties winch lie in tho path of peace; il the probability of a general European war is rot greater to day than it was a month ngo, the Emperor will bo held mainly to havi been out in the provinces la an attrabihous n.ood, simply relieving him-elf by challenging the whole opposition in the French Legislature. It anything beyond this has b-eu gained ti tho imperial poiicv, it may bo the tatlv conversion ol Lord Russell aud Lord Clarendon to the pro Iect ol a European Conference. Tho runntle of Lord Palmersion has fallen upon weak shoulders, and it may turn out that the shrewducsi and force of character which enabled tho late British Minister to resist all proposals tor a formal an nulment or the dynastic arrangements ot lsl5, tor which Great Britain wa' primarily responsi ble, will be wanting when these proposals are' renewed 1o Lord Russell's Cab. net, with actual hostilities so imminent. Sleanwhile, although the situation Is peihap- even les alarming than it was a week ato, the danger Is far troni past. A conditional convention between Prussia and Italy has come to light, 'which, while it does not directly lhreaten Austria now, would lead, in the event of actial warfare, to a practical all ance for the h'taiument of the mutual pur poses of the allied Governments. Austria has a lorce, all but ready tor the field, of nine hun dred thousand men. Iialv is collecting hor whole regular military strength, and giving open encouragement to patriotic volunteers for that sort ot irregular servio which proved so etlectiv an agency seven years ago. The dun gcr, indeed, on all hands is still great j but It is o lar fatisfactorv, at least, to find that mea suie of- compromise are not yut altogether. tpeless. as JMonulnctnifng In Cltics-Onr Gas Companies. Prom the World. A discussion Is now grlng on in the London prtss on the subject of gas companies and their attendant nuisar.ccs, which has brought to light facts ell worthy of reproduction on this side of the ocean, as they furnish useful hints to our IcHlslativc and executive bodies as to how to deal with these monopolies and the nuisances which generally seem to attend them. It has been found that gas companies in largo cities have not only been often centres of toul odors and diseases but that tbey are positively danperous to the crowded populations in which they nre generally placed, owing to the liability ol tae large gas retotts to explode. An appalling disaster from this cause occutred in London only last November, and similar accidents have recurred elsewhere. In England it is stipulated in all the charters that w hen the profits exceed nine prr cent., the consumers shall get the benelit of the surplus by a corresponding reduction In the price, as well as an improvement in the quality ot the gas. And the limitation has been so far beneficial that, in London and other large English cities, pas i not only very good, but very cheap. This stipulation many of the companies evade all tbey can; but still they spend the surplus, not in scrip dividends, but in costly and valu able local Improvements. The Union Ferry Company, of this city, wh cti is alo limited to ten per cent, profit on its capital, instead of accounting lor their surplus, spend it in magni tiont boats and costly lerry-housei. Tnis was not what the law contemplated; but, if the pub lic do not get the benetit by a reduction in the farce, they do in public improvements. In France, however, they do still better, as w 111 be seen by the tollowihg extract trotn a re cent Lcndon publication: Until the tim of the Empire. asw rks existed in Taris Thu Government, satipflwl -hit tiiuir liv no ne ell eta, bul the dangora to which thoy cxpused t.,e city, wero e lis that stiou d nut be tolerated, took n eaeure" to auiatuninate the six companies into one, and, in 1862, removed the whole process of nianniRotnrimr and distributing gas to a distance liom the capital Ihus. tne Government not onlv fi eed tho c ty of Pans irom the pentitorous fumes of the mnnnfao u e or gin, but also irom the peril of a- explosion iu the works ot any one of the six com. Iian en; and beyouuthat.it secured such tormi lor he inamilactu e and the supply oi (ras as to be of grint advantat'o to the Partmans. And bo it noted that the shareholders In the amalgamated compa nii s lost notlung, although tho (tag consumers gained much. I lie average rato.of profit made by the com pany app( ari to ov aLout tcu per cent." Au ellort Is now maklrg in London to remove the ca companies' works out of tho city, after the l'aris plan. Professor Robert Ay ton stated before the Scottish Gas Engineers' Association Hint better and cheaper gas could bu supplied lour hundred miles away from London than if made in the heart ot the city It is believed that pus will yet be ma;iutactur'd at the coal beds at Newcastle, and brought to London in a fluid (oi tn, instead ot as now in the solid form of cowl. And this is a matter which it is high time wer discussed here. Tho gas manufacture is not only otlensive but iinhealthful. The compa nies declare they cannot help themselves, and the Board of Health can suggest iio way of aoating the nuisance. This being settled, is it not the better plan to remova the woiks out, of the city ? It this was done with a profit to the public and the companies iu Paris, it can be done here; and if it is possible to make gas in Newcastle to be used in London, four hundred miles away, the same thine can be done in the coal regions of Peuusylvuuia tor the New York market. A Woman's Adventures In the Rebel Army. A Savannah paper gives the following account ot a woman who served us a lieutenant iu the Rebel army during the war: "Mrs. Loretta J. Decaulp, well known as Lieu tenant T. Bulord, ot the Couiederate states armv, is now temporal lly in this city, and residing at the Pulaski House, but wiil soon leave for Charleston. Her object here is to collect sub scriptions for three forthcoming works which she is preparing, entitled 'Toe Cruise of the Shenandoah; or, the Last of the Confederacy;' The Hutory of the Southern Confederacy,' in cluding personal adventures ot the authoress; and 'liuiord's Poems.' "At the commencement of the war she de voted ber property and her personal exertions to the Coniederate cause, and in male duguiso raised a company in Texas, which sho com manded at SIuna3sas. She was afterwards con nected with a cavalry compauy at the Went. She was three years in active tervice, and was three times wounded and once taken prisoner, she was also lor about a year in the Rebel Govern ment service North and in Europe. "The following is from the Atlanta InttUi 'jenter: " 'Sirs. Decaulp. It was iu 180 we first met in this city this second 'Joan of Arc' She whs then attired in the garb of an otiieer, and was introduced to us as Lieutenant liuford, iu the Confederate service. There are ninny now in tliis city who will remember this heroine, and lur mairiaae with hei late husband, Mr. iJe caulp. a soldier In the same service, since de ceased. We had lost sight of and knowledge of the whereabouts of this daring and romantic gul, uitil a few days aao, when we saw in one ol our Southern exchanges a complimentary notice of her, and oi her return to the South. Ot this (net we had ocular demonstration on yesterday, for while we were engaged, scis sors in hand, clipping from our exebnnae, there entered into our sanctum an elegantly dressed lady, still in the bloom of youth, ani beautiful to behold, whom we soon recognize! as the veritable Lieutenant Buiord, now a widow her hueband havii.g died shortly after her alliance with him.
