EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
AUSTRIA.
Conference Between the Hungarian
Diet and the Austrian Iteichsrath.
The Ministers Count Taffe, Herr Becke and
Count Lanayay have been ordered by the Emperor
to preside at the approaching conferences of dole
,ates from the Hungarian Diet and the Austrian
Reichsrath. The members of the conference have
Arcady azrecd upon the standing orders to be In
force during their sittings.
laron Hubner is expected here shortly from
Rome in connection with the approaching nego
tiations for.revision of the Concordat.
The Salzburg Negotiations—Atistrian
Opinion on the Policy of the Empe
ror--flow Russia Should be Treated.
[From the Vienna Prenee, Angunt 10.]
The Austro-French alliance is placed in the
first rank among the political combinations of
the day. The visit of the Emperor Napoleon to
Salzburg does not allow the policy of conjectures
to be quiet. Every such meeting may bring on
the tapis questions whore opinions are identical;
but, on the other side, that does not follow as a
matter of course. When they visited Paris the
Czar and the King of Prussia could have greeted
the sovereign of France with alluring oilers, and
vice versa. - But in supposing that 'such would be
the case, there is a long way from a similar asso
ciation of sovereign ideas to a formal alliance.
Should the preliminaries of such an alliance be
settled at SaNburg they ought to be preceded by
an tntente upon the practical means to attain the
end. Now, what aims could such an accord em
brace? In re-establishing the German Confede
ration? Nobody in Europe thinks of such an
affair. In parcelling or lessening Prussia? France
will reflect more than once before beginning
tiuch an undertaking: firstly, because it is not
possible; secondly, because a united Germany is
thwarting Praline leSs than 'the Austro-Prusstan
'dualism in the heart of Europe. Or is it that
Prussia is to be forever confined on the , other
side of the Main; 'and that the protectorate

assume the' pt4;portions of, a European war,'ln
order to assert her military superiority pr to *show
the redoubtable power of her fleet? That suppo
sition is belied by public, opinion in - Franee and
out of France.
Had the Court of the Tuileries taken irre
vocably the resolution of making war with
Prussia for a question of political preponderance,
would it not be not. only out of place, but even
humiliating for France to ask the co-operation of
Anemia to attain such a aim? If two adversaries
come to blows because each one pretends to the
right of the stronger, is he. the stronger the one
asking the assistance of a third party? Be It as
it may, it seems to us that we must
rigorously assume a strict a d conscientious
neutrality as the basis ofn our relations
with Prussia so long as it is a question but of
certain conflicts between that Fewer and France,
and as long as Russia shall not play an active
part 'Maim. Is it our interest to draw Russia
into such a play? Should we derive from it the
most trifling advantage, were we to induce Russia
td play an active part by an imprudent initiative,
instead of compelling her to remain in reasonable
limits by our, moderation and our love for peace?
But we must not conceal from ourselves that it
is precisely the position towards Russia which
presents between Austria and France points of
contact' deserving to be treated at Salzburg
thoroughly. The efforts must, ceaselessly tend
to liberate Prussia from the grasp of Russia.
Warmenaces will not solve that problem, but
the aim can be attained by 'acting pru
dently and politically. Moreover, the whole
moral strength of the civilized countries of the
West impel - to that tendency. The leaning of
Prussia for Russia is a stain to the German name,
to the German prestige. Europe willsee without
disquietude the development of the German in
fluence only when Prussia shall have turned her
back against the Mongol Panslavism. It is not
France nor Austria who is immediately me
naced, it is Europe.
The future of Western Europe belongs to free
dom, to intellectual culture, to labor. Solidarity
will establish itself between the people ripe for
freedom, because the nature of things itself wills
its development. Barbarity and unruly ambition
of the great Power still essentially Asiatiglind no
room amid that solidarity. If France did Aus
tria prudently go hand and hand in view of a
liberal union of Western Europe—and that unicn
requires no wntten treaties or alliances—they
will merit the gratitude of Europe, and thus in
sure in the most certain way the universal peace.
It is in such way that we understand the political
bearing of the interview at Salzburg, and we wish
it to be so.

The Removal of Stanton and Sheri.
dan—A Tani 'With the President....
Gen. Grant's Part In the Transaction
—Two Reasons for Sheridan's Re
ov s. Wells and Titrockntor•
ton Abused.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Post'telegraphs the following:
In a pleasant conversation of some length to
day, with President Johnson, I remarked that he
was charged with having removed Mr. Stanton
in order to obstruct the execution of the recon
struction acts of Congress. He asked what Mr.'
Stanton had to do with the execution or non-ex
ecution of these acts. These acts centered the
power In the hands of General Grant,
and he had placed Grant over the
War Department. He could not under
stand how this change could be construed into a
purpose to defeat the proper execution of the
Reconstruction laws. The President further re
marked that at one time General Grant strongly
intimated that unless Mr. Stanton was removed
he should be compelled to leave here, as he could
be of no . pOlsible use, in view of Mr. Stanton's
n
overbeang and dictatorial conduct. The Presi
dent advised him to have agLt. h the Secretary
of War,and, perhaps, they Werifdunderstand each
other better. He agreed, however, with the Gen
eral that Mr. Stanton ought to be removed,and ho
then inquired of Gen. Grant if he would take charge
of the Department in the event of a change: The
latter promptly expressed his entire willingness
to do so. I referred to the rumor that the
General had eve tually protested against the
removal, and the President frankly said such was
the ease; that the General had written him a
very kind, but earnest private note, in which ho
bad intimated his fears of anarchy, if not revo
lution, should Secretary Stanton be suspended.
Yet, as he could not appreciate the General's
fears on this score, he had directed the change.
I film to d him that the same char re was made
against him for removing General Sheridan, and
that many supposed his purpose was to prevent
a due execution of the law. This he thought was
quite as absurd as the other, as the law was, the
same whether Thomas or Sheridan in com
mand. What difference could, it make who
executed the law? Could any one question
the ability or patriotism of General Thomas?
I then asked why General 'Sheridan
was removed. Mr. Johnson said there were two
good causes, but only one had been considered:
the first one was rather of a personal character,
and.bad been overlooked. The telegram of the
23d of June,' which , was so .disresPcingulthe'
,Executife, had been claimed by,Genecal Grant to
be a private telegram to himself,' wad Mat no Oa
.
vial notice of, its. existence had, ever yet reached
President. But the second ground for the re
moval of General Sheridan was the exercise of
powers he did not possess, and the exercise of
his legitimate powers in an arbitrary and offen
sive manner. I asked if he would' be kind
enough to designate what acts he included under
the latter clause. He said the removal of Gov.
Wells was entirely uncalled for and unjustifiable.
Gov. Wells had placed at' General Sheridan's
disposal the whole civil machinery of the
State to aid him in the execution of the Recon
struction acts. Nor had the latter ever indicated
or pointed out a single act or word of the Gover
nor which was calculated to embarrass him in
the proper execution of his duty. On the other
hand, Gen. Sheridan had endeavored to execute
the law as a partisan, and bad adopted radical
ism as the only .true test of loyalty. His sole
purpose seemed to be to secure negro supremacy
and degrade the whites, and for such conduct I
deemed it my duty to relieve him from that com
mand. I inquired if he did not think Governor
Throckmorton had attempted to thwart the Gen
eral in a proper execution of the law. He an
swered emphatically, "No, Sir; the records
prove the reverse. The Governor of Texas also
placed the whole civil machinery of his
State at the disposal of the military power, and
aided it in every way possible, except in
,tIM
manufacture of a Radical majority of voters and
n securing negro supremacy. This was Gov.
Tbrockmorton's sinning, and for which he was
arbitrarily removed by General Sheridan." I said
o the President that his views as to the proper
execution of the Reconstruction acts were not
clearly understood by the people,and that I would
like to bear them. He answered that•he could
express them in a few words. He desired a fair
registration of all qualified.voters, without regard
to race or color. Ile did not wish to give any ad
vantage to the white men, but much less was he
disposed to make them slaves to the negroes.
Where the negroes had the majority, as in South
Carolina, he wished them to exercise the power;
when the white vote was in the Majority, as in
Texas, he desired that white majority to control.
He wanted only the laiv to be fairly executed
with equal chances to all. This was being denied
them by Gen. ,Sheridan, and his manner and
mode of acting was fast familiarizing the people
with the tyranny of despotic government. I re
marked that the public would not be able to un
derstand why he struck down despotisai in one
department and yet suffered it to continue in
another. He replied that other changes would be
likely to follow very soon. A proper investiga
tion was now being made into the conduct of
one or two other Commanders, who, it was
charged, were playing the autocrat. The Presi
dent expressed the greatest apprehension as to
the future of our Government, yet said he still
relied on the good sense and patriotism of the
people. In his speech in the United States
Senate, in December, 1860, Mr. Johnson said be
bad denounced the party who would break up
the Government in order to preserve Slavery,
and he had also denounced those who would de
stroy the Government in order to abolish Slavery;
he was equally opposed to both extremes now,
and his only wish was for a speedy return of
fraternal relations among the States.
Dr. J. H. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic,
for the Cure of Dyspepsia.
This remedy is composed of a compoundpre
paration of a common weed growing along the
sea.shore, and is a certain and infallible remedy
for the cure of Dyspepsia.
Nearly every person is more or less afflicted
with Dyspeosia, or some of the diseases con
nected with it, and it is with feelings of pleasure
that Dr. Schenck eau - announce to all - sttehlhe
discovery of the yirtiies of the sea weed, which is
just the remedy for their ailments. DyspepsLa,
and the many diseases arising from it, are caused
by the deficient secretions of the gastric juice,and
weakness of the powers of the stomach. The ef
fect of the Seaweed Tonic is felt soon after it is
taken, as it supplies at once the principles of the
deficient gastric juice, and the food is digested
naturally. In fact the Tonic so nearly resembles
the natural gastric juice that chemists even find
difficulty in distinguishing them. It gives tone
and strengthens the stomach, thus enabling it to
secrete the proper-quantity and quality of gastric
juice, and dyspepsia and all its diseases disap
pear.
It is a well-known fact that none suffer like
the dyspeptic; for, in addition to the dyspepsia,
there Is often either headache, sour and sick sto
mach, pain in the side, palpitation of the heart,
chills and fever, gravel, disease of the kidneys,
nervous weakness and tremors. general debility,
faintness, loss of appetite, bad taste, fever, stop
pages in females, all or each of them arising from
a disordered state of the stomach; and here is a
remedy that will cure all this train of disease.
Now, dyspeptic, will you avail yourself of this
remedy for so trifling a cost, or will you still
suffer on ? The choice is with you to make. The
Seaweed Tonic is a pleasant bitters, giving a per
son a good appetite and good
up in quart bottles. and always agfees with the
stomach. Whenever the bowels are costive, the
tongue furred, or the complexion sallow, a few
of Schenek's Mandrake Pills are to be used.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
Will be found to possess those qualities necessary
to the total eradication of all bilious attacks,
prompt to start the secretion of the liver, and
give a healthy tone to the entire system; indeed,
it is no ordinary discovery in Medical Science to
have invented a remedy for those stubborn com
plaints which develop all the results produces' by
a heretofore free use of calomel, a mineral justly
dreaded by mankind and acknowledged to be
constructive in the extreme to the human system;
that the properties of certain vegetables comprise
all the virtues of calomel without its injurious
tendencies Is now an admitted fact, rendered in
disputable by scientific researches, and those who
use the Mandrake Pills will be full satisfied that
the best medicines are those provided by nature
in the common herbs and roots of the fields.
The Pills open the bowels, and correct all
bilious derangements without salivation or any
of the injurious effects of calomel or other poi
sons; the secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will be seen by the altered colors of the
stools and disappearing of the sallow complexion
and eleanshig of the tongue.
It' has long been thought by the profession
that calomel or some other form of mercury was
the only medicine that would restore the de
ranged or depraved secretions of the liver; but
such Is the poisonous effect of any form of mer
cury in producing salivation, caries of bones and
premature decay, that the profession has long
ago endeavored to find some other preparation
that would act as well upon the liver without any
of the dreaded results of mercury.
In some of the Prize Essays in Europe it was
remarked that the discoverer of this remedy
would be entitled to the lasting gratitude of the
entire human race.
This preparation,Dr. J. Schenck, of Phila
delphia, has certai H.
i ll ly dise_overed In_ the vegetable
kingdom, and its active principle is contained in
the Mandrake Pills. It is as equally efficacious
in producing a healthy action Of the liver as any
of the forms of mercury, and entirely free from
any dangerous or Injurious results.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his Principal
Office, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond street,
New York, every Tuesday, and at No. 35 Hanover
street, Boston, every Wednesday. He gives advice
