Baron Von Beust has replied to the recent note of the Prussian Minister f Foreign Affairs, and asserts that he thought It verbal explanation sufficient to remove the misunderstanding between tho two Governments, and h desired to avoid useless correspondence. He insists that v hut ho said in the committee was of n pri vate character, find that, the transact liins of a parliamentary committee are not within the control of foreign governments. lie declines to enter into a discussion of what was said there, but will not withhold his opinions on questions caused by inaccurate newspaper statements, lief erring to tho in terpretation by the Vienna Cabinet of tho military treaties between Prussia and the South German States, in the conciliatory despatch sent to the Prussian Minister at Berlin, in March, 1M17, nothing" was said as to wneiner mo treaty oi Prague prevented the Southern Stales from concluding treaties with other States of Germany, but it was stated that certain well-known agreements preceding the signature of the treaty of peace were not concurred m, making it impossible to ilecide whether the clause' relating to the international independence of the Southern States was omitted as a matter ol no import ance, or because its importance was so great that it should have been otherwise worded. Von Beust does not. admit that he should be called to account for words which tho newspapers allege wero uttered by him, yet he is willing, in order to soften and remove onyexisting unpleasantness, to enter into cor respondence in regard to the conciliatory en deavors made on either side during tho last year, which have pos.--ibly been misconstrued. The circumstance that there had been no in tercourse between Von Wimpffer, the Aus trian Minister at Berlin, and Von Bisniark, for some time, is alluded to, and the des patch explains that this was owning to the alternate absence of both gentlemen from Berlin. From the spring of 1 SCO until the close of the year, after tho return of Bisniark, certain well-known continuous and violent attacks made in the public press on Austria gave tho Austrian Government cause to recommend that Von Wimpffer should abstain from visiting Bisniark. The Austrian Premier concludes by declaring that tho reproach that Austria intended to prolong tier attitude ot reserve, cannot bo better disavowed than by referring to the uninterrupted intercourse between himself and Von Werther, the Prus sian Minister at Vienna.

Jicfolnil, That each executive officer, as soon as possible, shall, alter receiving his appointment, proceed to call a State convention lor the nurnose of forming State unions, and until such unions ire formed charters will be issued from the I'nited States I'nion by the president to local unions: but as soon as State organization is com plete the charter shall conic direct from the State union. IS. liixnh'vil .That the President of the U.S. I'nion be and hereby authorized to issue a chan ter to Statu organizations whenever the applica tion made is reported by delegates from at least live local trade labor co-operative organizations, which meet at the call of the Executive. Com mittee. 4. Jir.toh'fil, That each State Labor Union is entitled to be represented in the U. S. Vnlou a$ loiiows: one delegate to each State, irrespec tive of its number ol members enrolled in the local L'nioiis, and one delegate for each and every twenty thousand or fractional part thereof. ii. jifnoicta, mat each Mate J.aoor Union shall make such laws and regulations for its own guidance and support as may to it appear most effective: provided, that such" laws do not in any way eonllict with the Constitution of the U. S. I nion. ii. Jii .solred, That the V. S. Union nay tho mileage of delegates thereto by the nearest and most direct route from and to the organizations they represeut. 7. Jivnoici'u, mat the revenue ot the U. S. I'nion be divided as follows: Each State or ganization shall, at a specified time, report to the President of the U. S. Union the number of members represented in their State organization, and the President shall levy a tax eipial to live cents on each member so reported. On motion it was agreed that the resolutions should be taken up by sections and acted upon. The motion was agreed to. and considerable de bate ensued. It was proposed that the following should be attached as an amendment to the lirst section: 'Except where State organizations now exist; in such case the State organization shall appoint its own executive."' On motion of Mr. McLean, of Massachusetts, after eonsidcrabls delnite. the whole mailer was recommitted to the committee, the following being added thereto: Messrs. Wynn, of Cali fornia; Jcr-siip, of New ork; and Cunuuiugs. of Massachusetts. The following special committees wero ap pointed on Peter Cooper's resolution: Messrs. Puett, Wynn, Isaac C. Wier. .lames Benttv, M. Henny, W. H. Stewart, W. Shuck, Miss Susan 15. Anthony. Co-operative Association Committee J. W. Klissert, of New York, aud Mr. Beany, of Michigan. The Committee on Lands, through its chair man, K. W. llunn, presented the following: A careful survey of the field of operations pro posed by the National Labor Union induces your committee to declare that, ot all the reforms proposed by that body, none is more funda mental and important to the well-being of all the labor interests of the community than that which asserts that the only righteous title by which land should be held is that of successful labor thereupon. For when that position is established it will reduce the cost of everything we eat, drink, wear, or use, the prices of which arc now advanced to double and, in some in stances, to treble their real values, in conse quence of fictitious money addition, placed by the arbitrary tint of Government acting as agents of interested individuals upon the lauds. The land question also, in the opinion of your committee, underlies the money question, and careful search proves that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to permanently establish the latter on a proper basis until the land is free. It also must materially enter into tho labor question, for it is certain that in all civilized countries the condition of artisans and me chanics has been dependent largely upon the condition of the agriculturists, and it is ques tionable whether the solution of the problem, How to secure to the producer tho proceeds ot his toil?" will not bo found when the full measure of the crops which are put into the earth are produced to the hands by which they have been sown or planted. Such beiug the case, your committee endorse the wisdom aud the economy of the Mosaic laws on the sub ject, which sustained the rights of every indi vidual in the Jewish community to his or her share of the soil, and forbade the permanent alienation thereof; also, because the institution of laws sanctioning the purchase and sale of land create aristocracies as in Europe, and, if not abrogated here must eventually provo the destruction of our republic, because neither governments nor even the adult people by which such arc created, are righteously In power to ordain tho permanent alienation of the soil to Individuals, for the children of all communities have rights in the lund which forbid the aliena tion of the common estate. Because the dismal effects of the permanent alienation of land from the cultivators thereof may be seen in Great Britain, ami also in our Southern States.where the condition of tho most numerous and necessary body of our laborers, viz.: "tho tillers of the soil," are legally robbed of tho proceeds of their toil. Because the de plorable condition of tho majority of tho wealth producers of tho country is attributable to the division which formerly existed between its mil lions of ogrleulturallsts and artificers, and that in the union of these ludustrle wo shall soon obtain victory. For tho foregoing reasons your committee have nothing to add to or abstract from tho reso lution come to on tho laud question by the Chi cago Congress, which declared Unit l'tho plac ing n money value on the gifts of the Deity, specifying the lands, mines, and water courses. wus suvritege," or to the btuteueut of the former Baltimore Congress, which awarded "tho tools to him that hath the ability and the skill to use them, and the land to him that hath the will and the heart to cultivate it." Kcferred to the Committee on Cherokee Land". Mr. John Dunn, of Philadelphia, offered a long preamble nnd resolution with reference to the Postal Telegraph system, which was referred. Itciii ol" Terror. The Paris Mml,- of tho 5th, in order to show that the lirst revolution in Paris was not directed principally against the higher orders, quotes the lollowing figures: "The French devolution, which certain writers have set themselves tlu task of justifying, was not. as they say, tho work of the people, who suffered as much or even more than the wealthy, for tho odious ex cesses for which efforts are" now made to render them responsible.
