Tho European Promblem.
The true condition of affairs between
Austria and Italy is placed somewhat in
doubt by the declaration of M. Rouher,
Minister of State, in the French Legislatif,
on the 3d inst He explained hat France
did not intend to interfere,except to express
her regret if hostilities should break out.
She had warned Italy that she must not ex
pect French assistance in case of war, and
that she must enter upon the hostilities at
her own risk and peril. This communica
tion, which may be considered official, was
followed up, at a later hour during the de
bate, by a statement that a telegram had
been received, stating that "Italy engaged
not to attack Austria." Two days after
wards, the Memorial Diplomatique publish
ed an article stating that Austria had de
clared that she only intended to act on the
defensive, adding that, if Italy attacked Ye
oetia independently of France, Austria
" would not secure for herself advantages
" of victory, without the diplomatic inter
' vention of France." In other words, if
there is a war and Italy loses, Louis Napo
leon shall remain master of the situation,
and be entitled to say whether Austria shall
be entitled to hold the Territory won back
from Italy. Per contra, if Austria is bea
ten, and ejected from Venetia, France is to
have no right of intervention against Aus
tria in favor of Italy. This would secure to
Austria the neutrality of France, which will
lose none of the advantages gained to Italy
by her intervention in the last war. .Now,
as Italy declares that she will not attack Aus
tria, and Austria says she will act on the de
fensive and not attack Italy, it would seem
that all pretext for war were done away with,
and all the nations are satisfied that peace
will be maintained. And yet it is apparent
that each power is actively preparing for
war. Italy is enthusiastic over the pros
pect, and Austria is sending its troops into
Venetia, with all the expedition that mod
rn transportation will allow of.
It is very plain that neither Power wil
trust the other, and although both ought to
disarm, neither will do so. Prussia may
. after all, solve the problem by couimcucins
the war, for- although there is a lull in the
controversy between her and Austria, it is
by no means settled, and may break out
more furiously than before, at any moment.
Prussia is not satisfied with the declaration
of Austria that she is only anuiuar to be
ready for Italy. Prussia says ''in that case
we will be ready too." So the work of con
centration goes on, and the armies of Prus
sia are getting ready for work on the Saxon
frontier. It is evident that Prussia has no
confidence in the representations of Austria,
and hence we have the strange signt of
three nations getting ready for war, march
ing their troops, fortifying their weak places,
preparing their fleets and looking daggers at
each other, each one at ' the same time pro
testing that she does not intend to begin
hostilities, and each one doing all that she
can to irritate the other and precipitate a
contest which may be brought on at any
time, without orders, by the eagerness and
animosity of small parties of soldiers upon
the outposts.
TlTE NEW TREATIES WITH THE INDIAN'S.
The mission of .Colonel E. W. Wynkoop to
the tribes of Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dians, who have committed many depreda
tionson the great highways across the plains
during the last three or four years, was sig
nally successful. His thorough knowledge
of the Indian character and personal ac
quaintance with many of the Indian chiefs.
greatly assisted his negotiations and enabled
him to make what they term "a strong
peace," because it was contracted with the
warriors who had been most actively engag
ed in me recent hostilities, and based upon
a thorough understanding of 4he mutual
wants and interests of both races. What is
most needed' now is some substantial pro
' vision for the wants of these wild trilw n
that they will never be induced, by fear of
starvation, to attach our trains. The pro
gress of civilization is rapidly destroying
the jrame upon which they formly relied for
subsistence, and justice and sound policy
require that we should compensate them
for loss thus incidentally inflicted. As a mere
financial question, it is very evident that we
can much better afford to feed the Indians
than to fight them.

An Important Bill.
A very important bill passed the House
of Representatives the 17th. It relates to
the Territories of the United States, and
prohibits their legislative assemblies from
passing special acts conferring corporate
powers, but authorizes them to pass general
laws for the purpose. It declares null and
void all special charters heretofore granted
by any legislative assemblies. The sixth
section provides that no person appointed
by the President' to any office in the Terri
tories shall receive compensation until he
shall have entered on the discharge of his
official duties within the Territory, and no
officer shall be paid for the time he may be
absent from the Territory without authority
from the President. It prohibits legisla
tive assemblies from granting divorces, but
eaves that authority with the Courts of
the United States in the Territories. The
ninth section is as follows : .
And be it further enacted., That within
the Territories aforesaid there shall be no
denial of the elective franchise to citizens of
the United States because of race or color,
and all persons shall be . equal before the
aw : and all acts or parts of acts, either of
Congress or of the legislatives assemblies
of the Territories aforesaid, inconsistent
with the provisions of this act, are hereby
declared null and void.
The tenth section entitles a Territorial
Secretary, who performs the duties of act
ing Governor iu the absence of the Govern
or, to receive pay equal to the Governor's
salary.
An ineffectual effort was made to strike out
the ninth section, and the bill passed by a
vote of 70 to 43.
Geological Phenomenon. A geologi
cal phenomenon is noticed in the Isle of
Wight, consisting of a layer of pebbles
each about the size and color of a horse
bean, whti h has been gradually moving
eastward along the southwestern shore of
the Island, lhe laver has now reached
Tentnor. A few years since no such peb
bles were found on that coast. They prob
ably originated on the coast of Dorset.
They are, like all gravel, broken and water
worn flints. The laver has brobably been
under the .sea, and driven by some unusual
disturbance from the Dorset chores, past
the Hampshire coast, on to the Isle of
Wight beach.
Mail Arrangements. The Post-Office
Department has issued orders to discontinue
the delivery of the riiails at an early day at
all offices in South Carolina, and perhaps
in other States where there are no regularly
appointed and commissioned postmasters.
This order, the Governor of South Caroli
na says, will subject the press and the busi
ness community to very serious embarrass
ment unless steps are taken to secure the
services at each post-office of such persons
as can take the requisite oath as prescribed
by Congress, and he therefore recommends
that some person be selected at each office
who can take the oath and give the bonds.
General Howard, the official head of the
Freedman's Bureau, denies the sweeping ac
cusations based on the inspection" made
by Generals Steedman and Fullerton. The
damaging representations, involving agents
in corrupt practices, he says, are the result
of superficial and one-sided inauiries. He
denies that there has been any "prostitu
tion of official position for private gain"
and that "any shadow of an accusation of
complicity in crime" on the part of the
North Carolina agents, '"is utterly without
foundation."
The Memphis riot is no more an argument
against the Southern States than the New
York riot was against the Northern States.
A'nc York Post.
There is this difference, however: the
Memphis riot was the natural fruit of the
"superior civilization" of the South, while
the New York riot was in all respects an
exotic. Slavery inspired it, and Irish cop
perheads were the prime movers in it. The
Memphis riot was as indigenous to the
South as cotton and tobacco. Washington
Chronicle.
An election will be held in Texas on the
25th day of June next for State officers,
and at the same time the amended Consti
tution agreed on by the Convention will be
submitted to the people for acceptance or
rejection. It does not appear that there
is any serious opposition to the proposed
amendments. The two parties of the State
divide on personal issues of the war. Those
opposed to secession are now the "Union
party," and those who were in favor of se
cession are the "Conservative Union" party.
Parson Brownlow declared in a recent
speech, in reference to the new Tennessee
law disfranchising rebels, that an officer in
an Arkansas rebel regiment declared that
it was within his personal knowledge that
if the Confederate achieved their indepen
dence it was their purpose to disfranchise
every Union man in the South!" No one
who remembers the proscriptive tendencies
of the secession leaders will doubt the truth
of this statement.
Wiixiamsport, May 16. Major James
M. Wood, Republican, was elected Mayor

A Monitor Bound for Eussia.
The Monadnock having voyaged safely as
far as Valparaiso, there is no reason w by
some other monitor may pot uua eii u
atrip in another direction. The British
and French are like careful mothers, and
are unwilling to trust their iron-dads out ot
their sight ; but the United States has con
fidence that her armored brood can go alone,
which opinion the hard knocks ot the world
already endured by the monitors aforesaid,
"fn!!v to. instifv. The Miantonomah,
monitor, iron-clad, is, therefore, about to
dare the dangers of the broad Atlantic as a
pioneer to show other nations that Ameri
cans are ahead still in steam navigation and
all that pertains thereto. As tt e savannah
was in 1819 the first steam vessel which
crossed the Atlantic, her voyage extending
to Cronstadt in Russia, so the Miantonomah
will be in 1S06, the first steam iron-clad
monitor to cross the big water, bound to the
same port. The Savannah was an experi
ment in the interest of peace, the Mianto
nojmih is an experiment in the science of
war. In 1 SI 9 the British predicted that it
would be impossible for a steamship to cross
the Atlantic with safety an opinion after
wards reaffirmed with some qualifications by
the famous Dr. Lardner, who had never
heard of the voyage of the Savannah. Al
though the art of steaia navigation has im
mensely improved siuce that time, and the
contraction of armored ships has been con
sidered the extreme triumph of naval science,
nevertheless, it seems that foreigners must
take new lessons from the-Americans.
The European iron-clads, even those con
structed as ships upon the old models, but
protected with armor, are lumbering, heavy
and dangerous. The nations which own
them are afraid to trust them upon long
voyages. Admitting their, own failures,
they are quite positive that it their ships
are not competent for long trips, those A
rueriean monitors, "cheese boxes on rafts,"
are-far less suitable. They have predicted
their failure, but the Monadnockhzs shown
that they know nothing about the matter.
The Miantonomah will be the next aston
isher. This will takeout Assistant Secreta
ry Fox, of the Navy Department, who goes
as a special representative of the American
Government to present to our friend, the
Emperor Alexander, the resolutions of con
gratulation recently passed by theAinerican
Congress, upon his escape from assassina
tion. Mr. 1-ox will perform a double duty,
lie will tender an acceptable compliment to
our ally, and he will appear under such cir
cumstances as will attract very earnest at
tention to his embassy. Our iron-clad will
prove to Europeans that what they think
we cannot do, we can do. And while it may
be admitted that they have not yet been
able to construct an iron clad vessel fit to
cross the Atlantic, they may digest their
mortification at the thought that the A
mericars have.
A man in Roxbury, Mass., of whose loy
alty serious doubts were entertained, was
yisited by some citizens, about the middle
of April, 1865, and after being hustled about
a little, was compelled to hoist the United
States flag and make a Union speech. He
now brings a suit for damages against five
of the persons concerned, claiming that he
was injured to the extent of thirty thousand
dollars.
Some of the citizens of Memphis wanted
to form militia companies, to be armed by
the Government for the purpose of preserv
ing order, but, as it would seem, for any
purpose the municipal authorities might see
fit to use them. General Stoncmnn, to
whom their request was addressed, has re
fused to sanction the arrangement.
President Johnson has vetoed the bill ad
