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

the two Houses will embody this In a Const tn

.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

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.

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

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

there entered into our sanctum an elegantly
dressed lady, still in the bloom of youth, ani

as the veritable Lieutenant Buiord, now a
