8peoUl despatches from Berlin assert that
on Tuesday last (the 13th last.) the Parlia
mentary deputation of the North German
Confederate Bund was to set out from the
Prussian capital to oouvey to Kiog William,
t hie military headquarters in Versailles, the
offer of the imperial crown that will, npon
his brows, symbolize the suocesnioa to a do
minion rivalling in extent aud far exoeeding
In real population, wealth, and sooial import
ance the realm of Otho and Charlemagne. At
the same moment we bear the fiat that decides
the fate of the Grand Dncby of Luxemburg,
end prepares the way for the absorption,
gradual or sudden, as occasion may decide,
of both Holland and Belgium into the rest
military empire which already overshadows
the centre aud the west of Europe.
This, ohould the sturdy old Hohenzollern
aooept the proffered dignity and what rea
son is there to doubt that he will ? is an
event of the most imposing moment, sur
rounded by historical contrasts as romantic
and dramatic as anything recorded in the
illumined annals of Froissart and Monstrelet.
The imperial sword and sceptre of Germany'
laid at the feet oi a leutenia prinoelntne oap
tnred palace of Louis Qnatorze, while Prus
aian eagles float in triumph over the spires of
St. Denis and the towers of Notre Dame
tremble to the echo of besieging ordaanoe.
The world bas not witnessed such a spectacle
since the armies of Napoleon I entered Home
and dictated law to the Pontiff in bis council
chamber at the Vatican.
Well may the other powers hastily en
deavor to set their houses in order, and
meanwhile struggle to avert any extensioa of
the war.
Thug it Is that Austria still persistently en
deavors to bring about negotiations for peace
between the German allianoe and France;
and in the light of the past and of the pre
sent, too, we say that Austria is wise. The
Emperor Frauz Joseph, comparatively young
as he is in sovereignty and in diplomaoy, has
exhibited foresight, prudenoe, end modera
tion throughout bis reign. He displayed all
these qualities, so valuable and so admirable
In a prince, after the disastrous defeat of his
arms by the French and Italian coalition at
Bolferino; after the overthrow of his best
generals by the Prussians at Sadowa, and in
the measures that he has since taken to har
monize the jarring States still subject to his
eceptre within the pale of the empire. In
this sagacious course be is sustained by the
abilities of a minister the Baron von Beust
who may justly be styled the Cavour of
Austria.
And now we see the same spirit prevailing.
Outside of the immediate vortex of the
Franco-Prussian war, yet near enouph to feel
the heat of its conflagrations and to hear the
thunders of its artillery, Anitrian. intellect

Of hlin who treasures op a wrong,
from the weakest of mankind, is a most

ages in adversity as well as in glory, wisdom,
which looks to the future even more than at
the present, halts midway. "Tread not npon
a dwarf: he may have a giant for a friend,"
is an apothegm of pith and meaning. France
is not yet a dwarf, but a giantess surprised

she bad been bound down while she slept by
the Lilliputians or monarchical misrule.

Quiet thinkers who, only that long ago, held

not noble, and never can be truly great. If

every warrant in the lessons of history to be

DELUSIVE PROSPERITY.
From the A". T. Timet,
San Franoisoo journals bewail the lack of
enterprise in their city and the lack of proi-
Eerity in their State. The city has ample
ankirjg capital as compared with Chioago
and other cities east or tne Mississippi, but
transacts, relatively, much less business.
The State, with almost boundless resources,
suffers in every direction from the absenoe
of development. Vast areas of desirable land
are unoccupied and un tilled. Mining enter
prises have not, as a rule, fulfilled expecta
tions; there have been more blanks than
prizes more losses than profits. The people
of a State which obtains genuine money by
mere digging pay from ten to twenty-lour per
cent, annually tor its use. in a word, mere
are stagnation and depression where activity
and prosperity might be expected to abound.
The El Dorado of the Union . is really among
the poorest and least progressive of its mem
bers. For this condition of things the people of
California may thank only themselves. They
have driven off the capital and enterprise of
which they now confess their need. Their
refusal to avail themselves of the legal-ten
der currency was a blander whose ill effects
have long been apparent. Their own mo
neyed men came East to take advantage of
the premium on gold accumulations; and
Eastern capitalists refused to employ their
means in a State whioh did its utmost to ex
clude greenbacks from circulation. Desira
ble citizens were thus driven away; the as
sistance now earnestly invoked has been by
this policy systematically repelled. The re
sult is conspicuous in the dullness, the want
of business faith and spirit, the indifference
to great mercantile and industrial opportuni
ties which exhibit ban tranolsco m unfa
vorable contrast to other cities, And in the
slow growth of population, the paucity of
manufactures, and the neglect of magnifi
cent natural resources in all parts of the
State.
Land monopolies have had something to
do with the tardy progress of settlement and
agriculture. The best lands are in tho hands
of companies and speculators, wno hold tnem
at prices above their value, and retard the
improvements wnicn are essential to tne con
tentment of any population wortn Having.
The State does not grow, simply because it
bas been rendered unattractive. Minnesota,
.with not a tithe of the natural advantages
possessed by California, has prospered infi
nitely more, for reasons that are apparent.
In the one case reliance is placed upon
nature's bounty, and thrift and persistent
hard work are at a discount. In tho other,
energy and enterprise have been at a pre
mium from tne nrst, ana a marvellous ad
vance in population and wealth are the im
mediate results.
In the next place, California illustrates
anew the general unprofitableness of mining
enterprises, where tne precious metals are
concerned. Mining was well enough when
gold was to be had by digging and panning,
though even then the lucky ones were only
a small percentage of the crowds engaged
in the work. But mining in organized forms,
with costly machinery, and under skilled and
scientific direction, is quite a different affair.
Only careful management and great good
fortune can render it prontabie. ine Mari
posa estate has never yielded common inte
rest on its cost, ana tnere are scores oi goia
mines in California and Nevada of which
the same story may be told. Every ounce
of the preeious metal obtained in these in
stances costs many times its value. Of coarse,
there are gold and silver properties which
have paid their owners magnificently, but
they are exceptional both in their richness
and their management. Distant capitalists
cannot be blamed if they listen incredulously
to tales of mineral riches, and prefer to in
vest their money in enterprises of a more
certain character.
Vhe prevailing distrust is, however, justi
fied by unpleasant experiences of another
sort. Gold and silver mines are doubtful in
vestments under the most favorable aaspioes.
What shall be said of them when considered
in connection with the barefaced frauds of
which they have often been the pretext?
California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana,
Idaho all Buffer from the rascality that has
been perpetrated under the pretense of sell
ing valuable mining claims. The Eastern
Ftates and -England have been alike vic
timized. Millions of dollars have been ab
stracted from this city alone by scoundrels
who succeeded in persuading capitalists,
large and I nail, that fortunes were hidden
in gold and Silver mines. Half a dozen years
ago, the number of Colorado gold mining
companies organized in New York was legion,
aad neatly all of them are now remembered
as swindles of the first water. Nevada came
next into the market, and left a similar im
jreaslon. The Californians cannot wonder if
piudtnt Eastern people prefer to keep their
uioLey nearer home.
ABOUT AMNESTY.
fru (A X. Y. 7Vi'tM.
We have never attempted to hurry Con
gress in the matter of amnesty. Though our
on convictions that universal amnesty is
alike magnanimous and politio have never
been disguised, we comprehend the consider
ations adverse to it, and freely admit their
force. We know that the spirit whioh drove
the South into a foolish, wanton rebellion is
still wide-spread and rampant; we know that
tbtre are thousands of ex-Kebela so embit
tered by their nnexpected and utter disoim
nlure that they cannot appreciate generosity,
and would confound kindness with weknea,
if they did not miainUrprtt it as cowarJije.
We know that that mott unwise. w!iguot
organisation popularly known as Ku-klux at 11
ii ieU and dutuicU portions of the South,
inflicting iajnriee and outrages on scattered
Macks aud other defeoaele ITnlnniitu, aa 1
that, in ppite of the bt eflorU of C-uran
and the Executive, thousands of negroes "
Coerced into voting the tioket of their per
secutors or overawed into not voting at all.
In short, we feel and admit that a good case
can be made for postponing universal am
nesty, whioh, without at all shaking our Con-'
viction of its justice and wisdom, would
impel millions to-demand -and Tote for a
postponement of this measure of paoifioation.
If, therefore, Congress shall vote down such
amnesty, we shall regret rather than condemn
the decision.
But, whenever amnesty shall be deemed
timely, we entreat that it be made thorough.
A dozen pioayune amnesty bills will do mueh
to Inflame and diffuse Southern discontent,
nothing to allay it. An aot of amnesty with
large exceptions will offend two daises I.
Those whom it relieves of disabilities; 2.
Those whom it leaves under the ban. The
former will feel insulted as by an intimation
that they are of no aooount; -he latter will
complain that they are still proscribed when
thousands less deserving of olemenoy have
been forgiven. 'And, from their point of
view, each class will be clearly right.
We object to a restricted amnesty that it
tends to the creation of an aristooraoy at the
South an aristocracy round not on wisdom,
nor on merit, but on prominence in the late
Rebellion. . Those exempted from the gene
ral oblivion of past offenses will plume them
selves upon the fact as a tribute to their abi
lity or efficiency in the Rebel servioe; they
will be admired, deferred to, and aooorded
social distinction and political influence.
The fact that they are not eligible to offioe
will enable them to indicate the men to be
chosen. They are in fact neither better nor
worse than many others; but their proscrip
tion, when they shall have been so restricted.
In number that each of them is known and
marked, will clothe thorn with a peouliar and
unwholesome power.
It does seem to us that the case of Jeff er
son Davis ought ere this to have commended
its moral even to the most ordinary compre
hension. Had be been shot, as. upon the
verdict of a court-martial, he lawfully might
nave been, within three days or his capture,
he would have been enshrined in a million
hearts forever, and his name and deeds would
have been a potent spell for generations. So
long as he was kept in prison he was the un
crowned king of millions, to whom his lightest
wish was law, bis word the end of contro
versy. A sentiment of honor held every Con
federate loyal to him bo long as he remained
in duress for an offense common to him and
to them. Had he been kept for ten years
a prisoner of state, he would have been
to the last the chief of a crushed but indomi
table party whereof fidelity to their suffering
bead was the point or honor. lut his libera
tion was also theirs. When he walked out of
that Richmond Court-house a free man, he
was a dethroned monarch, and such he hai
remained. lie goes to Europe aud returns,
stops a few days in New York or Baltimore,
looks vigilantly after the interests of his life-
insurance companies, or neglects them, with
out exciting a ripple of cariosity. A few
intense Rebels may still feel constrained to
pay him some personal attention, and even
homage; but he no longer fills the eye of the
publio or is regarded by millions with as
much solicitude as Weston the walker or
Maoe the pugilist.
Shall wisdom still cry and no man regard
her monitions ? Do let us comprehend that
the real question is not whether certain pro
minent Rebels shall or shall not be further
punished for their causeless war upon the
Union, but whether we shall or shall not
enable them to strut their little hour as demi
gods, exalted in the views of their public by
the short-sighted thongh natural resentment
of Republicans, whose ' vengeful wrath will
not let them see that, if the objeot were to
divest these men of capacity to do mischief,
it would be scoured by amnesty, not proscrip
tion, and. that, if the end sought be vengeanoe
and just retribution, it is utterly defeated by
a policy which exalts its objects not only in
their own estimation, but also in that of their
neighbors and cherished friends.
HECKLESS BUILDING.
From the H. Y. World.
Tbe sudden and disastrous fall of a factory
in Tbirty-bltn street suggests reflection.
Tbe wind was blowing at tbe time, to be sure,
but it did not amount to a gale, much less to
sucb an exceptional convulsion a is required
to acquit tne constructors of a bauding of
cross negligence in its destruction by stress
of weather. The point which will be chiefly
relied npon to shield tne builders from tbe
blame of the disaster whereby at least four
persons have lost their lives is probably that

is of course In a mucn more precarious
condition than after those securities have
been added. But that was not the state of
this building. The covering had been finally
effected the day before the fall. So far as
security goes, the building was in very
nearly if not quite as good condiiion
as it ever would have been. The
conclusion is inevitable that the construction
of it had been grossly reckless. Nothing is
plainer man tnat every additional foot of
height in a building demands additional
strength in its walls. Yet nothing is com-
ruoner tnan to see buildings wnicn assume
the proportion almost of obelisk) run up to
the height, as in this buiMing, of eight
6tories, or even higher, not only without any
precautions in tbe way of buttresses but
with walls which would be flimsy and inade
quate even for an ordinary d A'clling. Money
saving is one motive for this reckless sort
of construction. Time-saving is another.
The factory which fell on Thursday, the day
after its completion, was begun upon the
11th of November. It is perfectly clear
tnat a building of ei'nt stones cannot be
properly built in such a time. If the
tragical event of Thursday morning does
not admonish architects and capitalists
of tbe breakneck pace at whioh they are
going, there are enough sterner admonitions
in store for tbeni. Let ns hope tnat this sin
gle lesson will suffice to give them puso, and
tbat the Mood of the four victims of some
man s reckless haste and gree 1 miy not hve
been tbed in vain. This lesson ought at all
events to serve to quieiten official vigiUnoe.
"While tbis rickety warehouse was falling to
pieces yesterday morning ny tne North river,
tbe buperiatendent of iiuiidings wis testify-
ing tbst a building upon the Est river by
the fait of v hioh a calamity in some respects
similar, tbougn not so widely fatal, bad en.

that functionary to see that in future his
sanction is not too lightly given, lest his
constituents should bo impelled by self,
preservation to usurp his functions. A build.
Ing blown down by a breeze is hot a safe
building, wuatever oraciaj assurances may be
given to the contrary. And it is to be h jped
that the friends of tae victims of the duatter
