Berlin, February 6. The Prince of Tour and Taxis, a Bavarian, whose ancestors have en joyed an uninterrupted monopoly of the postal service of Germany for the last two or three hundred years, has disposed of his rights to the Government of Prussia for the sum of 3,000,000 thalers. Almost every prince and princess in Bavaria ts "proprietor" of some valuable privilege pro ducing a revenue, even to the colonelcy of regi ments in the service ot Prussia and Russia, the commissions being hereditary in the male line. The Prince of Tour and Taxis possessed the most profitable of all, having enloyed since the de cease of his father the emoluments arising from a farmmg out of the postal service ot Germany, a position which Count Bismark found entirely Incompatible with his ideas of the reconstruc tion of the country, being particularly in con flict with his project for he readjustment of the Zollvcrcm or commercial affairs of the States. Hence the extinction of the monopoly of the Prince by purchase. The Prince of Tour and Taxis comes of a very ancient lineage, being the representative of the famous house ot Tour and Taxis, the lords of which were at one time proprietors of the domain de Yorriana, situate in the old Duchy of Mantua. There are two branches now in existence, the elder being represented by the gentleman who has been compensated by Prussia. This is the Prince Maximilian Charles, Who has his residence at Ratiebon. He was bom on the Sd of November, 1802, and is titled Prince of Tour and Taxis, Prince de Buchan and Krotoszyn, Count of Friedberg, Prince of ricbeer, Count of Val de Sassina, Marchthal, and Mereshetm. He is a hereditary Councillor of Austrian em- filre, a hereditary member of the Prussian Legis ative Senate, and Knight of the Order of the Golden Heece. The Prince succeeded to his t-states on the 16m of July, 1827. He has been twice married, his wives having borne him fif teen children. The younger line is represented by Prince Hugh Maximilian, born the 3d of July, 1817, who is proprietor ot valuable lands and manorial richts in Bohemia, and is u Cham berlain. Imperial Councillor, aod Major ot Ca valry of the AustTlan empire. This gentleman, who resides ia Prague, married in the family of Count Belcredi, and has four children.. NAPOLEON'S REFORM BILL. Tbe Emperor's Letter to the Minister of State. The following letter was addressed, as noticed in our cable report a few days since, by the Emperor to the Minister of State: Palace of the Tuileries, January 1!). Monsieur le Ministre: For some years past the question has been asked whether our insti tutions have gained their limit of improve ment, or whetntr new improvements are to be realized. Hence a lamentable uncertainty which it Is Important to remove. Up to the present you have had to strike courageously in order to repel Inopportune demands, and to leave with me the initiative of unerul reforms when the time should arrive. And now I believe that it is possitle to give to the Institutions of the Empire all the develop ment of which they are capable, and to the public liberties a new extension, without com promising the power which the nation has lu trusted to me. The plan which I have traced out to myself consists in correcting the imperfections which time has revealed, and in admitting that pro gress which is compatible with our habits', for to govern is to profit by the experience which has been acquired, and to foresee the wants of the future. The object of the decree of the 24th of Novem ber, 1800, was to associate the Senate and the Corps Leglslatlf more directly with the policy of the Government, but the debate on the ad dress has not led to tiie results which were to be expected from it it has sometimes needlessly excited public opinion, given rise to sterile dis cussions, and occasioned a loss of time most nrecious for the affairs of the country: and I believe that, without any diminution of the prerogatives of the deliberative powers, the ad dress may be replaced by the privilege, pru dently regulated, of putting questions to the Government. Auother modification has appeared to me necessary In the relations of the Government towards the great bodies of the State. I huve considered that by sending the Ministers to the Senate and the Corps Leglblatlf to take part lu certain debates, by virtue of a special commis sion. I should better utilize the strength of the Government without devlatiug from the terms of the Constitution, which admits no solidarity among the Ministers, and makes them de pendent only upon the chief of the (State. But the reforms which it is fitting to adopt must not stop there. A law will be proposed for assigning the jurisdiction over oifenses against the press law exclusively to the correc tional tribunals, and thus suppress the discre tionary power of the Government. It is equally necessary to regulate legislatively the right of assembly, while restraining H within the limits Which publlo safety demauds. I said last year that my Government wished to walk upon ground consolidated and capable of sustaining power and liberty. Hy the measures I have Just pointed out my words become realized. I do not shake the ground which fifteen years of calm and prosperity have consolidated, but I increase the streugtu bv rendering inv relations with the great pub- lie powers more intimate by securing to the citizens by law fresh guaranties, by completlug tue crowning; or the euince erecteu uy me national will. on this, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, I pray God to save you in uu noly keeping. Napoleon. The following U the lull text of THK DECBEB which accompanies the letter of the Emperor: Napoleon, by the grace of God and the national will Emperor of the French, to all present a nd to come, creeling: Wishing tn e-tva ta the dis cussions of the treat bodies nf ih Rtr rela tive to the home and foreign policy ot the fiov eroment more utility and precision, we Aive decreed ana oecree wnat follows: Article i, xiie ntmberi of the Beaut af 1 ot the Corps Leglslatlf may put quostlons to the Government.

Article 6. The reference to the Government can only be made In the following terms: "The Senate (or the Corps Leglslatlf) calls the atten tion or the Government to the object of the questions." In this case a summary of the de bate will also be transmitted to the Minister of State. Article 7. Any of the Ministers may.

The letter has already been alluded to in a cable despatch: "Capkkka, January 8. Sir I am happy to be able to respond to your wish to know my opinion upon the present controversy between the Pre sident of the United States and the majority in Congress. I shall certainly give it with the con sciousness thnt the qrestion at issue coneerns not only America, but humanity at large. Yes, for us friends of the American Union who trembled, for a moment, lor its Integrity during the gigantic struggle which you have so happily brought to an end, the Importance of the vote of the colored race is lessened in presence of the danger of fresh dissension. Members of the human fraternity, we make no distinction of race. We have, therefore,' applauded the elec tion made by the generous population of Massa chusetts in the persons of two colored deputies as their representatives, and we shall applaud any such demonstration in a country where liberty and progress are not empty words. "What we, however, chiefly desire Is that the harmony, more or less complete, which now reigns among the members of the American family may not be disturbed, and that every sort of individual prejudice may bo sacrificed, at any cost, in order to maintuin intact the in tegrity of the great republic, the strongest pal ladium of liberty in the world. May your Pre sident, therefore, come to an understanding with Congress, and may dissension no longer exist between the States constituting your ad mirable political system. Such is the wish formed by your sincere friends, among whom I am proud to include myself. 'Yours, faithfully, G. Garibaldi." American Protestant Church at Home. A correspondent writing from Rome on the I2tn ult. says: "xne.mertcan arms were yester day hoisted on the facade of Mr. Macpherson's bouse, and the United States Legation archives transferred to the large room in it used by the American Episcopalian congregation, so that Dr. Lymau is no longer In daneer of being ousted, as Messrs. Lewis and Williams have been. "As American visitors to the Eternal City are every year on the increase, however, it is appre hended that their present chapel accommoda tion will soon be insufficient, and negotiations arc being entered into by their church com mittee to obtain for the ensuing year the build ine outside the Porta del Popolo. which was used as a chapel by the British Protestant con gregation betore removing to their present more comiuooiouB csuiuusuuem, a lew puce' nearer the gate."

Thlrty.two Miles Walked In Seven Honrs and Fifteen Minutes The Strongest Contest In Tennessee Dr. Handrlch Winner by Fire Minutes. from the Nathville Pretx, January 28. The great contest of speed and bottom be tween Jacob Handrlch, of the Climax Saloon, and David Kuhn. of Steifel's Brewery, to Mur freesboro. tor $1000 a side, came off Saturday. The parties made a "square start" from the Climax Saloon, on Cherry street, precisely at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the wiuner arrived at the St. Charles, in Murfreesboro, at tilteen minutes after 10 In the evening. THE 0ONTK8TAMT8. The winner is a square-built, muscular man, about thirty-five years of age, and weighing two hundred and ten pounds. His competitor is a man about the same age, rather tall and slim, welshing about one hun dred tnd fifty pounds. Tbe betting was about even, those who would have "gone their pile" on the supposed advantage of condition of Kuhn, were r hy of the known nerve and endurance of the "Doctor." TIIB START. Both parties came up to the scratch promptly, and at tne signal being given, they started off at a brisk walk, taking the Murfreesboro pike when ot of the city, the "Doctor" taking the lead when they were last seen. The conditions of the race were that neither should taste food nor drink lrom starting to stopping, and both might take any route he chose, by the pike or across fields, to the point agreed upon at Murtreesboro being reached, to determine the con-est. THB FIRST V'IFTEEN MILES. The first fifteen miles to Lavergne were made in three hours, Handrich being ahead, but his competitor being fully In sight. THB RaCI IN THB DARK. Shortly after passing Lavergne it commenced getting dark, and from thence to the point of destination the "coursers" sped away over rocks and stones, holding a good pace, as the time shows. The heavy brown nag still held his lead, how ever, nnd when he crossed Stone river bridge was about a mile and a half ahead, going at a steady gait, and sure of being the winner. THE HOME STRKTCH. The sorrel was not to give up, however, with out a gallant contest, and commenced a brilliant dash for the home stand. Having caretu'ly husbanded his strength, he now commenced a brisk run, and would have undoubtedly been successful in his tactioe if the other "rider" had not anticipated this attempted coup d'etat, and also "used tbe rowels." With a sharp lookout tor his pursuer, the "Doctor" strode into the expectant town ot Murfreesboro just five minutes in advance ot bis adversary, with the vigorous movement of an Atlantic steamship, while his more fragile antagonist was some half a mile astern, flying before the wind, with all sails filled, like an ocean yacht. "TREATMENT" OF THB WINNER. Going at once to the St. Charles, the Doctor was immediately surrounded by the curious throngs ot the excited people of Murtreesboro, who could scarcely realize he was a staunch, good-looking man, not much the worse for wear, aud not an elephant or a wild horse from the Texan plains. All speculations were soon put at rest, However, ior nequicKiycauea ior "lager beer," and by the time the other bad come up, had disposed of eight glasses of the Teutonic beverage. The parties remained in Murfreesboro until yesterday, having a good time, when they re turned to this city by rail. Thus ended one of the most singular contests which we have ever heard of, everything being done In a satisfactory manner, and in the cool est earnest. The distance travelled is thirty two miles, and it will be seen that they made nearly four and a half miles an hour, neither party having been in any previous training. NEWS FROM CUBA.

Kear ney, in Dakotah Territory. On that Ul-futed day the Indiaus made an attack on the wood train ot the atoresaid post. Colonel II. B. Car rlngton, the commauount, sent out reinforce ments to assist the guard ot the wood train. The Indians numbered fifty, the reinforcing party numbering eighty-oue men, lucludinir officers and citizens. As soon as the Indians perceived that we were In close quarters, they bepan to retreat. Our men followed them. The Indians entered a ravine, our men still following. The Indians had two thousand war riors concealed in the ravine. The troops were permitted to enter the narrow defile until they were carefully and hopelessly surrounded. Then commenced one of tbe most terrible haud-to-haud fights ever recorded in the hibtory of Indian warfure. Our eighty-one whites re pulsed two thousand Indiaus In three successive charges; but the fourth charge was too much for them. Owing to the overwhelming num bers and disadvantageous ground, our men could sustain themselves no longer. They were killed and sculped to a man. Not one was left to tell the tale of blood. The post was too went to send assistance to those poor fellows. They were horribly muti lated. There was but one eye-witness to this fight, Dr. Hines, ho being at a distance from those men engaged. He states that our men fought desperately. The Indians kept a hun dred men busy carrving off tbelr dead and wounded. It is a supposition that the loss of the Indians amounted to four hundred killed and wounded. This fact, however, is not easily ascertained, as they carry off their dead and wounded on purpose to keep them from being teen or the number known. Arrival of a Consul. New York, February 6.

As might be expected, the all-absorbing tople of the day has been the execution ot Joseph, alias Jacob Frede rick Haddopp, for the murderof Julius Wochele In November, 1865. The circumstances attend ing this crime, at the time it was committed, caused an intense excitement throughout the county, which had by no means abated at the time the trial took place. The First Execution for Murder. Apart from its being a case of purely circum stantial evidence, and the fact that the prisoner, from first to last, protested his entire Innocence in the matter, it is the first case in the history of Montgomery county in which a jury has con victed a person of murder In the first degree, although a man is now serving out a term of twelve years in the County Jail, having been convicted of murder in the second degree for the killing of his wife, in a hand to-hand fight with her. The Other Man Hung at Morrlstown, Since the Revolutionary war there have been a score of trials for murder, but thU ie the first case in which. capital punishment has been the penalty meted out on conviction. Indeed, tbe only execution that ever took place In tbe county was that of an old offender by the name of John Brown, who was hanged on the 12th of April, 1788, by Francis Swalne, then Sheriff, tor the ciune ot burglary, which was a capital offense under the old colonial law. This execu tion took place on Airv street, just In the rear ot the spot where die Court House now stands. Many ot the citizens took offense at the pub licity of the proceedings, but the abend" de fended his course by allceing that all the pro perty owners" in the neighborhood refused to allow him to perform his duty on their pre mises, and he was thus forced to resort to the highway. Personnel of Haddopp. The convicted murderer, Haddopp, is a man of slight frame, about five teet seven inches in height, and weighing about one hundred and twenty pounds. His features are rather thin and sharp, his forehead high, and his hair, which he wears combed back, quite dark in color. His beard consists at present of a plain goatee, the rest of his face being smoothly shorn. Not tbe least noticeable feature of the prisoner is his greyish-blue eye, which Is re markably clear and bright, imparting to him a fascinating tnd at the same time a dangerous look. Although of an apparently peaceable disposition, he has just that bearing which is fitted for deeds of dark intrieue, and this faculty must have been brought Into lively exercise when he allured his victim from this city to the deserted farm on which he met his fate. Haddopp is a native of Baden, and has re ceived a very thorough education. He is a fluent master of (ierman, French, and Italian, and is said to be well versed in the Latin tongue as well. His knowledge of English, however, is so imperfect that no profitable communica tion can be had with him except through the ngency of an interpreter. At the time of the murder he had been in this country but a few years, and most of these had been passed in tbe army, which he entered soon after his arrival, loiufng the ranks of a New Jersey regiment as a substitute. . Interview With Ills Wife. Several months after the murder, and before his arrest, he married, his wife knowing nothing oi uib iruiu. cub visiiuii uiui ou jMonuay, out their meeting was rather cold and formal. The prisoner then protested to her his entire innocence, as he did to his counsel as late as yesterday afternoon. Haddopp's Story. The story that he tells 19 to the effect that he had often spoken to Wochele of his sister, who resides at 8t. Charles, Missouri, and in whom Wochele seems to have taken a great in terest. Haddopp claims to have told him that Sr. Charles was a very thriving town, but he himseli had no desire to leave his present work and eo there. Wochele, he claims, was much disheartened, and anxious to belter his condi tion; and having borrowed sixty dollars of Haddopp, whom he was then unable to repay, he gave him the address of his guardian and step-mother, authorizing him to wTite In hlB name for the money, from which he was to get a return of the loan. He pretends to believe that Wochele set out tor tho West, and that he has seen or heard nothing ot biui since. Haddopp's Spiritual Advisers. During his imprisonment since the trial, Had dopp has exhibited a variable mood. Being a Catholic by profession, Father O'Hara. of Norristown, tendered him his services, but their inability to understand the laneuacre snolceu bv each other, rendered it necessary for them to call in Father Kuutzer, of Manavunk. Last week FatherGrundtner.of Philadelphia, was also seut for, and siuce his at'.endauce a marked change has come over the prisoner. Before this, he would at times give way to extreme Sassiou, cursing every one who participated in is trial, except his own counsel. He has been particularly severe against Charles Hunslcker, E q., the District Attorney, and at his request the latter declines toattend the execution. Dur ing the past few days he appears to be some what more reconciled to his fate. A few evenings since, a party of ladies and gentlemen visited the jail, and sang several pieces of sacred music. Haddopp was so pleased with this that be requested them to come again, and last evening the singing party spent some time in the corridor near his cell. Haddopp's Last Writings. The prisoner has written several letters, which are to be given to certain parties and German newspapers. A letter, addressed to his brother, was bo passionate and vindictive that it was not forwarded bj tbe authorities. Sum X Uio documents which be has written are not to bo opened until after the execution, and it may be that a confession is among tne number. On Monday he wrote a letter to be given to the Sheriff, of which the following is a transla tion: Mote to tho Doctors. 'Messrs. Doctors: I request not to be taken up and dissected, but to be burled as becomes au Innocent man. You may hunt for tne, but If you find me I pity you, for you must obtain your knowledge from an innocent body. Ilia also tiie sacred duty of I tie Jury whichcouvlcled me to death to see me buried innocently. "Jacob F. Haddopp." On the back of this letter was written the fol lowing: "A II those who pnrtlclpato In my exeoutlon I wish to keep me in remembrance. Then I will remember you all with grateful respect. Brothers, I wish you well forever." The Scaffold. Yesterday the scaffold for the execution was erected in the prison yard. It Is the same on which Probst met his doom. From 1 o'clock to 3 the public were admitted to inspect it, and during tbe three hours that it was exposed to view the yard wa9 crowded with curious people. Last evening the Sheriff. Mr. B. N. Beysher, was in consultation with the prison Inspectors, to complete the arrangements lor tbe final tra- f:cdy. The worthy oihctals were sorely puzzled, d 86 much as they and their predecessors for many years have been spared such painful duties. Cut Sheriff Beysher nobly determined to pull the drop himseli, and not foist this dis agreeable task on some one else. At least a thousand persons have applied for tickets to witness the execution, but the number was wisely limited to one hundred. Haddopp's Last Night on Earth. The prisoner was engaeed last night till 12 o'clock in reading his Bible and prayer book, and was awakened at four o'clock this morn ing, trom which time till seven he again de voted hiiDFelfto religious duties and spiritual advisers and counsel, who were then admitted, the time cassim? in nraver and conversation. The prisoner appeared quite cheerful for the time, even executing the manual of arms, to show his acquaintance with military matters. On taking leave of his counsel, he presented each with a little memento. As the time for execution approached he be came more nervous, being too excited to write his autograph. Proceeding; to the Scaffold. The party selected to witness the execution, and to accompany the convict as an escort irom bis cell to the scaffold, was made up in the fol lowing order: 8erlfTK. N.

Members ol tbe Press, and others specially Invited. At the Gallows. At a quarter past 11, Mr, Jacob R. Hunsicker, tbe Sheriff's Solicitor, addressed the persons assembled about the gallows, which was erected in the northwest corner of the prison yard, re citing the warrant of Governor Curtin for the execution of the prisoner, and exhorting all to demean themselves in a manner that would not add to the embarrassment and excitement of the unhappy man who was soon to meet his doom. At half-past 11 the procession was formed in the order given above, In the corridor of the prison; previous to leaving which, a prayer m German was repeated by the prisoner after the clcisyman. Tbe prisoner mounted the scaffold with a firm step, and then tbe Jellgious rites were resumed, first in Latin and then In German. During the last prayer the prisoner repeatedly kissed the crucifix held in tbe priest's haud. Absolution was then pronounced by Father Kuutzer, when he and Father O'Hara took leave of the prisoner, who was affectionately kissed by the former. Haddopp's Dying Speech. Sheriff Beysher then adjusted the noose, and the prisoner addressed tbe people assembled to witness tbe execution, in a firm and perfectly distinct tone, his composure under the cir cumstances being wonderful. He protested his entire innocence, but forgave all who were in strumental in his death, expressing the hope that he -would meet them all in another and bet ter world. The Death. The white cap was then adjusted by the Sheriff, and at nineteen minutes ot 12 o'clock, the drop was pulled. For a tew minutes tbe body was motionless, but tbe neck was evidently not broken, and soon the limbs began to twitch, tbe body sway ing backward and forward. This lasted about ten minutes, and then the corpse moved only in gentle motions as it swayed by tbe wind. After being permitted to swing for tbe custo mrv period, it was cut down at a quarter past '12, and after examination by the physicians m attendance and tne proper ouiciais, it was placed in a plain coffin, which was at hand.
