Until quite recently, the present peace of Europe has been threatened, and the report, that a satisfactory adjustment is on foot, has no certain ty in it. Still, it is hoped that the good sense of the leading spirits of the Old World, will hit upon some expedient to allay the jealousies and animosities existing between Prus sia and France. For it is between these powers that war is threatened. Not that the people of these respec tive governments desire to shock each other, not a bit of it; bnt Count Bismarck, who rules Prussia, and Louis Napoleon, who rules the French, have lately become very jealous of each other, and it is to gratify their private pique, that the people are to light. We have no particular fancy for either of these rulers, and if they would go to work and pommel each other right effectu ally, we would not care which got the worst, or the best of it. We do not desire however, to see their poor subjects forced to destry each other, to gratify these cowardly bullies.— So far as numerical strength is con cerned, however, the two nations are pretty nearly eqaal, and from this, the inference would naturally be, that a contest between the two pow ers, would be very doubtful. France in all her late wars has been success ful, and as a war power has been considered superior to any other in Europe, uutil now, the late successes of Prussia, have, in the public judg ment, made her the equal of France. A war between these two nations now, would be a very different thing from what it was under the First Na poleon, not because of the increased power of both, nor yet because of the immense improvement in war projec tiles, but because of the elevation and advancement of the people in both countries in their civil and mor al characteristics. In these particu lars, the German and the Frenchman, have grown greatly, and as we be lieve, the former more than the lat ter. Prussiaus are the best educa ted people—so far as book learning is concerned—in the world. There all males must be sent to school a certain number of years, and all able-bodied ones must be soldiers for a period of years ; and if we had to guess. or bet, on the result of a fair fight between Prussia and France, we would stake for the former ; first because of her intelligence, and sec ond because of her religion. The Prussians aie Protestants, and the French Catholics ; and we believe the easy triumph of Prussia over Austria, was attributable to this con sideration. While the latter are as decidedly German as the former, and in physical and mental developments are their equals, there is no account ing for the great superiority of the Prussians over the Austrians, which has long been so thoroughly settled, even before the last quarrel, unless we ho it on the ground of education and religion. In the war between Prussia and Austria, it was Protes tantism and education against Ca tholicism and ignorance, and the former had an easy victory, as it should have had : and so it will be, we opine, if Prussia and France fight, notwithstanding the wonderful prestige which hangs over the war power of France. The immediate cause of a rupture in Europe, grows out of a dispute about the old Fortress and Province of Luxemberg, lying on the borders of Holland and Prussia. It contains about eight hundred and fifty square miles, and has a population of Igss than two hundred thousand souls.— It belongs to Holland, but is essenti ally German in its institutions and its population. In virtue of its be ing a part of his possessions, the King of Holland was a member of the late German Confederacy, had a vote in the Diet, and furnished a mil itary contingent for the Confederate armies. The city of Luxemburg, the capital of the Duchy, has one of the strongest fortresses in Europe, which has always been kept up at Gorman expense, and garrisoned by German troops, usually, both former ly and at present, by those of Prus sia The city and its fortress togeth er constitute one of those strongholds which the warring sovereigns of Eu rope have always watched with the utmost vigilance. Its natural posi tion amidst precipitous rocks, and on one of the routes of communication between Germany and France, is alone sufficient to give i t very great importance, and this importance has been enhanced by its historical con nection with some of the decisive events of modern Europe. The recent dissolution of the Ger manic Confederation, it seems, has made the Duchy of Luxemburg, with its capital and fortress, a subject of some speculation and negotiation.— It is too German to be of much use to Holland, and it has too command ing a position near the entrance to France, to be anything but an instru ment of meuace, if it is transferred to Prussia. Louis Napoleon, as was j to be expected, lost no time in mak- | ing overtures to Holland for its pur- 1 chase and annexation to France. But J as a Prussian garrison holds the city and its fortress, it is of course iinpos- | bible to complete the bargain and t make the conveyance without the consent of Prussia, and this consent was not likely to be given. Count Bismarck appears upon the scene, the negotiations are interrupted, and the French Emperor, in disappoint ment, if not in rage, breaks off his negotiations, and commences the work of arming his country as if for war. The slightest report of war like preparations in France is at any time sufficient to awaken the anxiety of all Europe, and to lead to the rail tary expenditure of many millions of dollars, by every one of the Great Powers. Least of all, could Prussia afford to be indifferent to such a pro ceeding. Her Government makes no delay in addressing a note to the Em peror to ask the reasons of his new military activity, and without wait ing for an answer it proceeds to imi tate his example. Austria and Ba varia, and some of the Bmaller Ger man States are doing the same thing, while Russia and Great Britain are making ready diplomatic agencies which they intend to bring to bear upou the question. What the precise state of the ques tion is at the present moment, of course is but imperfectly known The people of Luxemburg, however, have declared that they are not wish ing to be sold to France, and even if they were, it is plain that the s ale could not be completed without the consent of Prussia, who has military possession of the only part of the territory to which importance is at tached. Gn the other hand, it is not surprising that Louis Napoleon is unwilling that this military posses sion should continue in the hands of a power that has lately shown itself so able, and so disposed to have a policy of its own in the politics of the Continent. There are thus in volved in the question all the ele ments of an imbroglio as difficult and as comprehensive as the most long-headed and cold-hearted schem er could devise for the thorough agi tation of the world. The only plan which appears thus far to have been suggested for escaping the ultimate collision of arms, is that the Duchy of Luxemburg be declared neutral territory, and it is now reported that both the contending parties have ac ceded to this. RECONSTRUCTION IN THE SOCTH. It is to be regretted that Governors Sharkey and Jenkinsjare throwing the weight of their inlluence and efforts against the re-construction of the South under the late act of Con gress. llow these men expect to promote the welfare of the late rebel states but such a course, we are una ble to conjecture. If these men should succeed in keeping out their respective states out from an organ ization under the act of Congress, they will only postpone their politi cal status, and as a natural sequence, suspend all business, improvement, investment, and everything calcula ted to quiet and advance the inter ests of the people and states. We are glad to see that many of the leading men, and newspapers of the Southern States are repudiating the action of these two men. A leading Georgia paper asserts that the ill-ad vised course pursued by these men occasioned great gloom and despon dency in that state. It asserts that the people had become reconciled to the bill, and had made up their mind to accept it cheerfully, and go to work in good faith under the provi sions of the law. The proceedings taken by Gov. Jenkins have thrown everything out again. The people arc driven into suspense. Confidence is unsettled, capitalists hesitate to invest their money in]the state, and the adjustment of the political and industrial affairs of the South is in definitely delayed. Another year of uncertainty, distrust and delay, can not fail to inflict immense injury up on the South ; and as it is for the in terest of the whole country that all questions growing out of the war, should be settled with as little delay as possible, the obstinacy and folly, with which the Georgia papers find fault, should be equally deplored by the Northern press. There seems to be little doubt that the Southern people, but for this in judicious movement, would soon set tle into the quiet recognition of the altered relations which the war has brought about, between the blacks and the whites. The Freedmen are already taking an active part in poli tics, with the encouragement and co operation of their white neighbors, who show no disposition to interfere with or to coerce them. Since the passage of the Military Reconstruc tion Bill, the outrages against the persons and property of Freedmen have ceased. School-houses are no longer burned, nor are scholars or teachers threatened with violence.— This is a very great advance over last year, and is full of promise for the South in years to come. But in view of these facts, how pernicious and reprehensible is the action of men like Gov. Jenkins, who would put a stop to the fraternization of the whites and blacks at the South, and throw back for a year, at least, the settlement of society. These men have learned nothing and for gotten nothing. They seem to have waked out of a long sleep, with the same ideas they had when they lay down. It is to be hoped that their day has gone by, and that the South will repudiate their action with the promptness which the exigency of ■the time requires. They should be taught that moral revolutions never go backward, and that the South of to day is as different from the South of six years ago as Europe is from Turkey. Their leadership should be a very dim remembrance from the past, so it will be, if the people of the South are just to themselves. REPUBLICAN UNION CONVENTION. Pursuant to call a Mass Conven tion assembled at the Court House in Towanda Monday evening May 6, 1867. Convention called to order by G. D. Montanye chairman of the County Committee. B.

Of tI)C tOtek —Later advices from Mexico con firm the reports of the defeat of the Imper ialists at Queretaro, the death of Miramon, and the flight of Maximilliau. The Liber als at the battle of Queretaro fought under the leadership of Gen. Diaz, and are highly elated at their success. The Imperialists were in a starving condition previous to tho fight, having been surrounded by their ene mies for some time and entirely cut off from their supplies and all prospect of relief. —The workmen of Chicago and their employers are now at sword's points regarding the eight-hour system of labor. The workmen insist that eight hours shall constitute a day's labor, and the employers refuse to accept it Thursday the work men, to the number of several hundred, visited several lumber-yards and shops and compelled them to close. The police were called into requisition, hut no riot had oc curred. Trouble is anticipated before mat ters can be adjusted. —Messrs. Allis, Waters & Co., bankers in Rochester, N. Y., suspended on Tuesday, and made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The liabilities are about $75,000. The cause of this failure is understood to be Western Union Telegraph stuck, of which the firm has carried a large quantity through the late decline. —A duel was fought at Townsend Bridge, Ky., on Tuesday, between Noah S. Alexander and Isaacs Hanson, both Ken tuckians. Five shots were exchanged, when the seconds interfered and put a stop to the afiair. A Hanson received a slight wound in the hip, and Alexander escaped unharmed. —A few nights ago a party of men went to the premises of one John Uhlen borgh, Harmony Township, Forest County, Ohio, tied the old man, who is over 70 years of age, to the bed, and robbed him of over $3,000 in money, making good their escape. —Thousands tf cattle have died in Kansas during the past Winter from ex posure and lack of proper food. Tho mor tality has been especially severe in the south ern part of the State. One company has lost twelve thousand in two or three weeks. —Senator Nye, owing to ill health arising from a former attack of fever pre valent at Panama, will not return to Nevada during the present recess of Congress. He will spend a portion of the time at Sarato ga this summer, and Mill leave the city in a few days for that place. —Abner W. (J. Redmond, who was convicted of murder by tho Circuit Court of Charlottesville, Ya., and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary, has been pardoned by Gov. Pierrepont. —Willis McManning was arrested at IGosport, Ind., Thursday, charged with the murder of John S. Johns, telegraph op erator at that place, on Tuesday night. —A watchman at New-London, Conn., on Tuesday morning, when the en gineer and fireman had gone to breakfast, thought he would play engineer awhile on a locomotive. So he let steam on. He in tended to go back, but the engine went ahead, and before he could reverse it, it went off the dock into the river. Efforts were made on Tuesday to raise the engine, but it will take some time and the Company will have the pleasure of paying for the watch man's curiosity. —We regret to learn that A. |W. Benedict, Chief Clerk of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and one of the Secretaries of the Republican State Central Committee, died on Sunday last, at Hunting don, of erysipelas. He was one of the ablesf clerks the House ever had, and, after the close of the late session, returned to his home in apparent good health. He was un iversally respected by the great number of persone whose arquaiutance he had made during his public life. It is said that he was the first publisher, of a daily paper in the City of Philadelphia. —A Reading paper says : 11 One day, week before last, the family of Mr. Texter, residing near the deep cut on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, in Spring township, were attracted to the yard by the screaming of a cat, when they found her en gaged in a desperate combat with a mon ster black snake, measuring betwen five and six feet in length and 51 inches in circum ference. After a desperate and exciting con test his snakeship caved in and laid pros trate before the victorious cat who continu ed the work of destruction until the life of the enemy became extinct. —The Honesdale Republic says : On Thursday morning a large black bear, weighing in the neighborhood of the three hundred pounds, made its appearance in the upper part of our town, and after traversing through two or thre streets, made its way over the hills, pursued by a large party of hunters. They followed it all day, and al though repeatedly fired at, his bearsbip's health was good at the close of the day, though somewhat fatigued from the extra exertions he had undergone. —On Saturday afternoon last, about 2 o'clock, the Middle Old Water Mill, of the Laflin Powder Company, at Spring Brook, Luzerne Co., blew up. The powder maker, a Mr. Stravely, was taking off his charge and cleaning np for Sunday. lie "put sacks under the wheels and started up, but run the machinery too tar. The fric tion caused the explosion of some four or five barrels of powder, and while it did not demolish the mill, bumed Mr. Stravely in a frightful maimer. After the smoke had cleared away he was seen to run to the creek and throw himself in and extinguish the flames on his clothes. lie was led home and died about five o'clock ou Sunday even ing. He leaves a wife ami several children to mourn his loss. The foreman, Mr. David Band, was badly burned about the head and hands, but it is thought by Lis Physicians that he may recover. His family lives in some of the eastern States. —During the past week a number of Government hands have been engaged in removing the remains of Union soldiers from the hurrying ground near tho Wash ington county almshouse to the Antietam Cemetery. This work was commenced last winter, but was interrupted by the inclemen cy of the weather. The Hagerstown Herald says that, although none of the Soldiers have been buried six years, there is little or nothing left of them but a few handsful of bones. —The iron-moulders belonging to the Union at Ironton, Ohio, are on a strike. Friday a few of tho moulders went to work when the strikers tried to run them out of town. A fight ensued, during which Charles Leverau, one of the strikers, was killed. —Three young men, traveling agents, or "drummers," as they are called, connected with Boston and New-York houses, have been arrested for alleged connection with the murder of the man Fitzgibbons, at Montpelier, Vt, last Wednesday evening. —The woolen factory of Charles Atkinson, at Fairport, ten miles from lioch ester, was totally destroyed by lire Thursday morning. The loss is estimated at $30,000. The property is insured for $20,000. —Four men were arrested at Fort Wayne on Wednesday for having robbed and and attempted to murder a citizen named Fiegle.

Hoyt then pro ceeded to the house and attempted to mur der Mrs. Stanford, but she evaded him un til her two sons rescued her anil seized the murderer. Hoyt says he is glad he killed the old man, and is only sorry that he did not kill the old woman. A quarrel respect ing cattle running at large was the cause. —Several extensive fires are re ported as .having occurred in different parts of the country Friday. In Chicago the Merchants' Hotel was entirely destroyed, in volving a loss of $150,000 ; insurance $50,- 000. At Fon ilu Lac, Wis., the Lewis House and ten other buildings were bumed—loss $50,000.

The Old Capitol building, whose very name was a terror to persons of seces sion proclivities, blockade-runners, spies, Ac., during the war, is now being demolish ed, preparatory to the erection of a large hotel upon its site.

Col. Harvey made a counter statement, but the district fttorney stated that he had no legal evidence to submit to the jury.
