THE BLACK SEA.
Official Kiifcwlau Account of the Si-M lemcnt
of the (tiiCHttou.
The following remarkable article in the Gor
rrnment Messenger of St. Petersburg Rives the
official Russian account of the settlement of the
Black Sea question: "For lifteen years Russia
has strictly fulfilled the obligations of the treaty
of Paris, onerous as some of them were for her
dignity. Meanwhile political events had made
considerable changes in the provisions of this
treaty, and In course of time the position of
the European powers in their relations
toward each other had become essentially
modified. Jt was impossible for Russia to sub
mit any longer to the restrictions which had
been imposed on her on the Black Sea, which
bathes the Russian coasts, after the international
relations of the other States had become so re
markably altered. The Imperial Cabinet noti
fied Europe by the Imperial Chancellor's cir
cular of the 10Lh of October that it no longer
considered itself bound by the restrictions rela
ting to the Black Sea, ;iud that his Majesty the
Emperor had assumed his full sovereign rights
npon that sea, leaving at the same time the
other sovereigns free to resume their rights
in their entire extent. Notwithstanding
the violent and Mated declarations of
many organs of tin European press, the great
powers which had signed the treaty of Paris
did not look upon our circular as a provocation
addressed to Europe, nor as an indication of
secret plans against her peace, but as a frank
and moderate notification; and they removed, at
the suggestion of the North Herman Confede
ration, to assemble iu a conference for the par
pose of bringing this notification of Russia into
harmony with the treaty of 1S5(. Our Cabinet
gladly accepted the Invitation to take part in
this conference, more especially as in the cir
cular of the l'.'th of October it had already
been stated that his Majesty was disposed to
conclude any new international agreement
whose object it should be to strengthen the
prospects of universal peace. While securing
the dignity of Russia, the labors of the confer
ence were greatly impeded and delayed by the
contemporary political events; but from the very
beginning all the powers expressed a readiness
to solve the questions in a spirit of peace and
justice. In yesterday's number of the (locern
ment Messenger a" telegram, was printed an
nouncing that a new treaty had been tsigued
at the London Conference which abol
ishes those articles of the Treaty of Paris
that limited the sovereign rights of Russia and
Turkey on the Black fcjen. There can be no
doubt that not only all Russians, but all friends
of peace and justice, will heartily rejoice at this
work of European diplomacy. It limits no one's
rights, it does not demand uny sacrifices, while
it has restored rights which had been violated,
removed a symbol of international distrust, and
strengthened the intimate relations of the
European States. It is pre-eminently a work of
peace and justice."
DISTURBED PARIS.
Tlx Massacre Iu lite Place Vciulonic Flrt
Bloodshed of the l&evolutlnu.
rari (Marrh 22) Cor. of the Pall 3lall Oazette.
I was breakfasting in the Rue St. Ilonore,
when there was a rush down the street, and a
cry that fighting had commenced in the Place
Vendome. Repairing to the scene of action, I
was just in time to witness the end of what must
be termed a massacre. An unarmed demonstra
tion similar to that of yesterday had been or
ganized atfthe new opera; it was proceeding
down the Rue de la Pais when it met
two insurgents, who were disarmed; thesa men
rushed back to their comrades; too "nianiiesta
tion" continued its march, an oilicer of the line
carving a banner in front of the column. Cries
of "Vive rOrdre!I"Ylvc l'Assemblee!" were
raised and hats were waved. The tradesmen in
the Rue de la Paix had again to close their shut
ters, but the windows and balconies were
crowded. The insurgents tbrew a line of troops
across the entrance to the Place Vendome in the
hope of stepping the procession, which, how
ever, marched straight on, aud drove this line
back upon the main body. It was at this moment
that a couple or snots were tired into the air,
occasioning a partial retreat, but the oilicer
with the Hag stood firm, and the unarmed
column pushed on, wishing to reach the centre
of the Place and parlev witn the leaders. J low
ever, there was a fresh discharge of musketry,
fired this time not into the air but into the thick
of unarmed citizens, and this discharge, of
course, sent the procession to the right about.
1 he distance to cover was fortunately not far.
and Rue de la Paix was quickly deserted by all
but few plucky fellows, who foolishly wished
to stand their ground; but the lusurgents kept
up a dropping lire, and soon there was
nothing to be seen in front of their muskets but
the dead bodies of those wbo bad fallen and the
wounded who were too severely hit to get out of
the way. By the side of one corpse there was
a dog lying dead. A tall man in black made his
appearance, holding aloft a white poeket-hand-
kercciet. A National uu&ru took a deliberate
shot at him. and the bullet struck the wall close
to the tall man's bead. He retreated, aud the
dead and dying were left in the street for nearly
an Lour. By degrees the inhabitants of the
Hue de la Palx took courage, and bugau to
open their doors and peep out; and, as all was
quiet, humane persons ventured forth and took
the wounded into their houses, and shortly after
wards the dead bodies were also removed, and
lew traces remained of the struggle beyond
& few bloodstains on the pavement and Borne
broken windows. Several bullets entered the
premises of Mr. Blount, our ex-consul, but for
tunately did little damage. As far as I can learn
there were about ten people killed and twenty
wounded. Half a dozen fell close to me in the
Rue Neuve des Petits Champs, but most of them
were uninjured, and soon recovered the use of
their legs. Admiral Salrsct, one of the Deputies
of Paris ana commander-in-Chief ol the Na
tional Guard, was in the front rank of the pro
cession and escaped unwouuded; he afterwards
endeavored to form a eutncient force to attack
the insurgents. Several explosive bullets were
tired, and one may be seen in the shop of the
tailor Dusautoy. The firing was hardly over
when I went into a tobacconist'
for postage stamps; the shop-door alone was
oDen: a small boy about seven rears of aze
entered, and placiDg a couple of francs on the
couater, asked for two packs of eards and snuff
Ivt a sou. Great Indigaation U manifested
the massacre which has just taken place, and
able bodied men are everywhere gesticulating
and declaring that this ttate of things must
finish. However, no one ecoius Inclined! to bell
the cat, and the National (luards of the First
Arrondiseement allow the scum of Belle
ville and Montmartre to invade and hold
their quarter of the town. It was with astonish
ment thatl beheld isolated soldiers and National
Guards returning home from the Rue de la Palx
and passing through the streets unmolested by
the crowd. A man of the line, ns he passed
where I was standing, was quietly inserting his
finger in the muzzle of his Chnssepot by way of
cleaning it. The people ask: W here is the Gov
ernment, and are thev to be massacred? One
citizen felt much aggrieved that the insurgents
had not summoned the procession to disperse in
the usual manner three rolls of the drum, and
a minute between each roll.
KORTn ASD SOUTH.
A South Carol lu Democrat 'Would Imi
tate M a ssa -l ii setts.
The following letter from Mr. C. G. Mera
minger, late Secretary of the Treasury of the
Confederate States, is printed in the Charleston
Republican. It was addressed to the Governor,
and contains some important suggestions. Mr.
Memminger says:
The leading fact which has probably Induced your
action Is the formation of combinations, in many of
the upper conntlea of the State, which exhibit them
selves in acta of violence upon those whom they
deem Ot subjects for extraordinary visitation. There
can be no dlttlculty in ascertaining the cause of these
combinations. It Is undoubtedly the conviction
that the existing government of the State is utterly
corrupt, and that it has fulled In all the duties which
are required at lis hands.
Various evidences have settled a conviction in the
minds of the whites that they must seek protection
outside of the existing Government, ami as your
Excellency doubtless sees, these evils must result
in anarchy or civil war, unless some remedy ho
speedily applied. The active cause of all this evil la
clearly the Legislature of the State. There it all
originates; there it has Its abode, and from thence it
must be removed before peace or security can
ensue. The character or this body must therefore
be changed. Instead or representing Ignorance and
vice, it niUBt represent knowledge and
virtue. This it cannot do uutil you
change its constituency. There is no possible
method of reforming un agency whil a the principal
continues the same, and Ignorance and prejudice will
never select for their agents the wise and the good.
Onr troubles result from this cause and from neglect
of the great American aphorism that taxation with
out representation Is tyranny. In ojr present sys
tem of State government those who pay taxes have
no voice in the government. This Investigation
clearly points to the only possible remedy, to wit, a
change In the constituency which elects the Legisla
ture. Let this be Improved, aud the liuprovenientof
the other follows of course. A more lutttlltgent body
or voters, and one directly responsible to pay the
taxes which are Imposed by their representatives,
would speedily provide a remedy. Under their aus
pices an intelligent and virtuous Legislature would
attain make its appearance, and tne laws or the
atiu ana me pumic umcers appointed to administer
ne in would again command public commence and
nsure the pence and tramiulllirv of t lie State. All
this can be obtained by simply following the lead of
that State which our present rulers would regard as
ine ioumain oi political wisdom, and amending oar
Constitution, so as to conform tne qualifications of
voters to those required In Massachusetts. Let the
voters be only such as can read and have niid some
tax for the; support of the tiovernment, ami the rep
resentatives win at once cnange tnoir character.
Such a qualification in the voters would dis
criminate only against Ignorance, and would
place it In the power of every man to tike
part in the government, whatever may be his raco
or color. The ditlleulty of such an amendment
arises from the fact that it must find sufficient favor
with the existing authorities to command a two-
thirds vote. This diillcnlty Is real; but is It not
worm ine cin.rt to overcome it 7 wiui'nu some
such change the S'ate must Inevitably drift luto
anarchy or civil war, aud surciy we already have
had a sntllcient experience of the evils of war to in
duce every one to seek their avoidance. If yon, sir.
would commence the movement by an earnest ap
peal to the Legislature immediately to submit the
call of a convention to the decision of the people,
it is not ar an improraoie mat tne movement
may suet-eed. If is true that it will take
much time, and that much limitation must ensue.
But let every man weigh against thtse consldera
tions tne danger wnieii must attend any other
course. Should even the violence which may be
apprcnenoeu oe suppressed uy military iorce, 11 is
not at all unlikely that, as their only remaining re
source, the entire community will refuse to pay tnelr
taxes; and then where will be the credit and tiov
ernment ol the State? (J. G. Mkmbinjkk.
CONNECTICUT.
A Review of the Camnlifii.
11aktfoiu, Conn., April 4. I think you will
be justified in saying that your correspondence
from Connecticut during tne campaign has had,
at least, the merit of accuracy in its prospective
views of the result. The confidence of Demo
crats was inspired by a belief that great "tidal
wave" bad started in New Hampshire, and was
to sweep first over Connecticut, ana nnaiiy, in
lis 72. engulf the whole country iu a grand Demo
cratic victory. We have shown, in the Republican
papers here and elsewhere, that there were no
strong evidences of a reaction, certainly nothing
in comparison with the backward movements of
1853 and 1807; and that especially in Connecti
cut there was nothing in tne canvass going to
chow that the chances of a Democratic triumph
now vere even so good as they were two years
ago when Governor Jewell was ejected. The
r epublican canvass then, as I recently tele
graphed yon, showed a majority against Jewell
of about 700. Last year, when English was
elected by 811, our canvass conceded u majority
of 1500. This year the first time iu four years
the canvass was in our favor. We had given
the opposition all doubtful votes; evidently they
counted them in also, aud relied upon others,
Ignoranlly supp6iug that there was a strong
undercurrent of popuUr feeling turning
against the Republican party. I have
written you confidently of the result be
cause I was unable to see any evidence of
unusual changes, bull, 1 have known that the
Democratic managers were sincerely hopeful;
but whether they relied upon an honest vote or
not puzzled me. Now, I am told that the
Democratic canvass itself showed a clear majo
rity. Mr. A. E. Burr, of the Hartford Times,
who is chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee, tells me that the result is one of the
most surprising things of his life; that he had
not the slightest doubt of the election of Eng
lish by certainly 1500 majority. Taking this
view of the Democratic frltuation as correct, the
party managers were simply over-eoulidout:
they dejvended upon imaginary results, aud

Frleud The Affair Shrouded iu My,
tery.
Yum the Raima City r.vVclin.
Dark and bloody was the deed ! A feeling of
horror thrilled through the hearts of the many
witnesses who stood by aud taw a young aud
bappy bridegroom shot down, and wlthoat auy
apparent cause, by the hand of the sneaking
assassin. A merry aud joyous c mipaoy hal
assembled last evening In the parlor of the St.
Nicholas Hotel to do honor to the union
of two loving hearts the marriage of Mr.
J. C. Foster, late of Bowling Green, Ken
tucky, to Miss Rose Bird, of this city.
Father Donnelly bad just performed the
marriage ceremony. He bride was in the parlor,
attended by a bevy of beauties and merry
young maidens. The proud bridegroom had
but just passed out to the ealoon to receive the
pledget und congratulations of his friends, when
there entered an uninvited guest, a Mr. Thomas
Smith, of Independence, who at once accosted
Foster. Very few words passed between them.
A bystander overheard the following conversa
tion, the meaning whereof Is still shrouded iu
mystery. Feeler was standing at the corner
of the bar when Smith said, "You do not mean
it." "I do." "Then prepare yoursalf."
At the same time he produced a navv
revolver and fired into Foster. Turning around,
without a word of explanation, the assassin
walked out of the saloon, putting np his pistol
as be walked coolly across the street past the
court bouse. Turning between the market hon e
and the court bouse, he mounted bis horse and
fled out into the darkness of the night, unmo
lested, nnpursued. The bridegroom staggered
backward as he received the shot, and fell upon
a window bench. Medical attendance was soon
upon the scene, and the wounded man carried up
stairs. His crirs were continuous, bis only
exclamations being, "Tom Smith, why did you
murder me?" "Oh, why have you shot me down
upon this my wedding?" "I who was your best
friend and loved you: Oh, Tom, why have you
murdered me?" An examination of the wound by
Drs. Milligan, Taylor, and other surgeons whose
names we were unable to learn, showed that the
bullet had passed through the right hand and
bad entered the abdomen near the groin, and
bad glanced obliquely downwards, lodging
about three inches from where it had entered.
The opinion of the surgeons was that the wound
was dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. The
scene in the parlor was beyond description. The
fair and elegantly attired bride, stricken down
In her grief and horror, was surrounded by her
bridesmaids and relatives. Here and there were
fair girls lying prostrate and insensible
from fright. Sobs and whispers were the only
sounds to be beard. All was sadness and grief
where joy and glee had reigned supreme not
twenty minutes before. Tom Smith Is now under
indictment for robbing Stone As Thornton's
bank In 1807, on information furnished by Jim
Crow Childs. Smith bas been a refugee from
justice in Canada for about two years, having
but recently returned to his home at Indepen
dence. His capture is considered doubtful.
We have been unable to learn the cause that led
to this deed of blood. The whole affair remains
enshrouded in a veil of mystery.
UMTED GERMANY.
OjU'iiliij; of the Xtw Reichstag The Im
perial Speech.
Berlin (Mareh 21) Cor. of Pall Mall tiazctte.
The opening of the Reichstag took place to
day, an event which, has produced a profouud
sensation among the usually not excitable Ber
liners. The Reichstag was opened in the Weisse
Saal of the Schloss, and the members afterwards
moved olr to their own not very Imposing pro
mises in Hie Leipsiger Strasse. 'Ihe Weisse
Saal is a splendid white marble hall of the old
palace, fitted up suitably for the present occa
sion. A canopy was placed for the Emperor
with a dais under it; on the right was a box
railed off for the ladies.
In front of the box stood the royal princes.
The service was to have been over at and
the ceremony of reading the King's speech was
to have taken place at 1 o'clock; but just before
1 we saw a number of ordinary workmen enter
in worklngdress,with large old stones and iron
work on barrows. The red velvet of the dais
was covered with cloth, and the workmen pro
ceeded to erect with the old stones a royal chair
or throne. Gradually what appeared to be a
very ancient chair was put together; it might
have been of tho age of Charlemagne, but it
was supported by four cannon balls of a very
di Hi rent date. On the top of the chair was a
framework of iron, which, as far as I could see,
appeared new, but copied from some ancient
model. The erection of the chair delayed the
ceremony, and the King did not enter till near
2 o'clock.

The King, who was loudly cheered, read tho
following speech from tho throne:
"Honored Sirs: When I see the German Hefch-
stsg assembled around me for the first time after
the glorious but trying struggle which ttcrmauy has

Impelled, above all things, to give expression to my
humble thanks toward (Jod for the historic successes
with which Ills mercy has biessed the faithful unity
of the German allies, the heroism and the discipline
of our armies, as well as the devotion of the Gor
man people, which really made all sacrifices. We
have achieved what has been striven for by our
forefathers, the unity of Germany aud of Us organic
Constitution the security of our frontiers, ami the
Independence of our national development of the
laws. Although the conviction of its future nnity
was veiled, it was always vividly present to the
mind of the German peop e. It has burst its veil by
tie enthusiasm with which the whole nation arose
for the defense of the threatened fatherlaud, and
traced its will with Indelible characters ou the
bat tie-fields of France to be aud to remain one
nnlted people. The spirit which animates the
German people and pervades Its culturo and
morals, nor in a less degree the constitution of
its empire and its armies, guards Germany in the
mldbt of its successes against every temptation to
abuse the power gained by Its nnity. Germany will
ingly pays the respect claimed lor Its own independ
ence 10 the Independence of all other States and
peoples, the weak as well as the powerful. One new
Germany as it has gone forth from the licry ordeal
of the present war will be a trustworthy guarantee
of the peace of Europe, because Germany is suffl
cieutly powerful and self-reliant to preserve the re
gulation of Its own affairs as an exclusive but at the
same time sufficient and aatltfactory heritage. I
have felt the t pedal satisfaction in the midst of the
trving wai carried on by us to make heard the voice
of Germany in this spiiit of peace during the nego
tiations which were brought to a satisfactory
conclusion at the London Conference
brought about by the mediatory endeavors of my
Foreign Office. The honorable task of the first
German Reichstag will be to heal as much as pos
sible the wouuds indicted by the war, and to confirm
the thanks of the fatherland to those wbo have paid
for the victory with their blood and their life At
the same lime yon will, gentlemen, begin those
works by which the representatives of the German
people co-operate for the fuimiment of the mission
which has been lutruHted to tliem by the Constitu
tion for the protection of the laws or Germany, ami
for cultivating tte welfare of the Gorman people.
The pieparutory labors for the regular legisla
tion have, 1 am sorry to say, sutl'ered some
rie'ay aud some interruption by thd war. The
bills which win be submitted to you, there
fore, directly originate in the new Constitution of
Germany. The constitutional arrangements made
by the separate treaties ot the 6th of November last
are to receive by a new act a better conformation
and a more barmoutous rendering. The participa
tion of the single Federal States iu the current ex
penses of the Luiplre demands a legal settlement.
Your co-operation will be required for the intro
duction of the laws of tho Confederation of the
North, which is intended by the lioyal ilavarlau
Goverument. The disposal of 1 he war Indemnity to
be paid by France will be effected, with
your approval, in conformity ivltn
the requirements of the empire, and with the just
cla'nis of the confederate member. An account of
the means for carrying on the war which h ive been
voted by you will be laid before you as speedily as
the circumstances will admit. The position of the
territories recovered by Germany wbl render ne
ceFsery a serlea tf general laws, aud also a law con
cerning the pensions of the oillcers and soldlers,and
for the requisite measures iu aid of the widows and
oiphans. Tin bc measures will also apply to the
whole German empire iu a similar manner, all the
armies haiDg fought lor tne Fatherlaud with
the came devoilon, and equally deserving the thanks
of the uutlon. Gentlemen, may the re-establish-ment
of the German KinpiK, even after vour tiruo,
be a promise of future greatness. Mav the German
Imperial war, fought so gloriously by us, be followed
by an equally glorious peace of the empire, aad may
the task of the German people henceforth lie to
prove victorious in the universal atrugglo lor the
