' tensile strength of this cotton ls, however, mi inferior to that of many other qualities, break with 33 grains, while Pernambuco cotton and rat cotton sustained a weight of 140 grains. I said that thc amount of twisting in cctton thn is a very Important element in thc estimate Its strength, and that the Dacca muslins of In owe much or their superiority in lightness a strength to the tightness of the twist of the d cate filaments or which they are composed. . cording to Dr. Watson, the average number twists per Inch In a French muslin ls 6S, in English 56, and In a Dacca they amount to 1 Some idea ortho lightness or this Dacca mus may be inferred from the fact that a piece of one yard wide and ten yards and a balf loi weighed only a little over three ounces, tills, an article for summer wear, would probably quite equal to the ancient Greek fabric, poetics termed "woven wind" by the writers of tl country._ The German Empire. The details of the new constitution to be st mitted to the German Parliament have ri been printed on this side of the Atlantic, b it is generally thought that the body will invited to signalize the unification of Fath( land by proclaiming King William as Et peror of Germany. There may be some o jections to meet and difficulties-to overcom but there ?3 nothing in German counsels the position of the belligerents, at this tim to thwart for long tbe accomplishment of i act which marks a mighty change in tl course of European affairs. The original German Empire was create by Charlemagne toward the close of ti eighth century, and from the beginning i the tenth to the abdication of Francis I early in the present century, the crown e: isted in fact as well as io name. At Cha: lemagne's death his dominions wore divide between his sons, and his grandsons dimic ished their power by other subdivision! Then came the period of great dukes, a ways at war, and of a long war with Ital to re-establish tho Roman Empire. Th last half of the twelfth century-tho perio of Barbarossa-was very brilliant, and ha long been to German fancy what the timo c Arthur is to England and that of Bobadil t Spain-a period of poetic and romanti glory. After a period of internal dissensions, Ru dolph of Hapsburg, . e-established the em pire and added to it. But tho centrifuga forces soon fegained mastery. The title o Roman Emperor wa3 asserted in the middli of the fifteenth century, and an unsuccessfu effort was made to form a national army bi the first Maximilian, early in the sixteen b Then came the Lutheran reformation ant the scries of continental wars recalled by thc name of Charles V, who, however, sough to incorporate Italy against French influence, and the Netherlands and Spain with Ger many. France wrested much of the regior lately the theatre of war from Germany al this time; all oftbat about Metz and Tou and Verdun on the eastern frontier. T?rke' marched her armies in on tho southeast, an< when the thirty years war closed in the mid die of the seventeeth century* Germany wai ia fact no more than a body of poorly weld ed States. Ferdinand ceded Alsace tc France by the treaty of Westphalia in 1643, at the close of a war still recalled with livelj horror. Then, though the style of Einperoi was retained, it was but a mockery of thc truth, and marks th"3 path of Austrian deca? dence. Prussia sprang into sudden beinj under William and Frederick, early in thc eighteenth century, and opposed the idea o! a great Austrian-German empire, such a? had always been the dream of the people ol every section, and when the second Francie ceded the left bank of the Rhine to Franco by the treaty ot Campo Formic, seventy years since, he prepared the way for a rapid disintegration. The Germanic Empire for? mally ended in 1S0G, and the Rhenish Con? federation succeeded it, Francis resigning. French domination followed, and was only broken liv the coalition of 1812 and following years. But Prussia grew so great under this, that at its close the old empire was an im? possibility, Then carno an unsatisfactory confederation in its place, with a Diet that was unpopular everywhere and always. The Zollverein enfolded seme of the German as? pirations for nationality, but in 1830 liberal institutions were borne in from France in a flood, and served to balk rather than assist a fusion. A national convention wa3 held in ISIS, and formed a provisional national government, with the Archduke of Austria for Re^eut. But the Liberals in Parliament excluded Austria the. next year, and offered the title of German Emperor to the King of Prussia, who declined it. Then came the revolution in Saxony', Bavaria, Baden, Wur temburg and'some other districts, which was forcibly quelled by Prussia, who sought to improve the opportunity and lead Ger? many. The effort was defeated by Austria in 1350, on the eve of buttle, and the nation? al efforts that had been made, and in part put in operation, were all resolved to their original nothingness. After that, more ami? cable relations existed under the treaty of 1854, uutil Austria proposed joining the alliance against Russia, when Prussia inter? fered at the head of the Confederation and. defeated the scheme. Prussia also refused to aid Austria in Italy unless the lead of German military operations was conceded to her, and she thereby secured iL In 1859 Prussia came uear leading tne Confederation into a war with France, but was defeated by Austria, and a rancorous feeling ensued. All parlies theil hastened to reform the Federal constitution, but nothing substantial was ac? complished. This summary sketch indicates what the German Parliament will labor for : the con? stitution of a homogeneous nationality that has not been perfect for ten centuries, and which necessitates a vigorous digestion and assimilation or hard conditions. It i3 a somewhat curious coincidence that as the weakness of Germany became most complete after the cession of Alsace to France, follow? ing the peace of Westphalia, the strength, and perhaps the restoration of the Empire, should so accompany the recovery of this i.i -'sf' ? province. ; And it is another historic il curios jtythat the objection .made by Frederick the Great to the assertion by Austria of imperial power over South Germany, the Austrian rul? er then being titular Emperor of Germany, should now promise to secure the crown of Charlemagne for Berlin. And further, as the German Empire wa3 destroyed by the success of the first Napoleon, who created the Con? federation, so does the revival of the Empire, under a vigorous head, follow close upon the heels or the downfall of the Napoleonic dynasty._ _ Thc Alleged Metz Conspiracy. The New York Tribune prints a singular story of certain alleged negotiations, ante? cedent to tho surrender of Motz, between thc ex-Empress Eugenie, Marshal Bazaine and Count Bismarck, which is rif true) one of the most curious chapters in the history of the war. A private gentleman, with an en? thusiasm for tho imperial dynasty and a taste for volunteer diplomacy, seems to have constituted himself negotiator of a scheme upon which depended not only the destinies of France, but probably the political future of half th6 Continent. He obtained the con? sent of the ex-Empress to try his skill and the permission of Bismarck to pass to and fro though the besieging army at Metz. He proposed to Bazaine to surrender on condi? tion that he should be allowed to use hi3 army in reinstating the Bonapartes at Paris, and the Marshal (so he says) accepted the proposals with delight Ho. induced Gene? ral Bourbaki to go to England and confer with Eugenie. He persuaded Bazaine and Bismarck to agree, or almost agree, to an arrangement by which Napoleon should be restored and Alsace and Lorraine given up. All thi3 he did without authority, from any? body. He had no communication with the ex-Emperor. He had only an informal con? sent from the ex-Empress to see what be could do. He had no credentials to show anybody, except a photograph with the Prince Imperial's autograph on it ! Yet Bismarck trusted him. Bazaine trusted him. Bourbaki ( trusted him. The negotiations fell through partly because Bourbaki refus? ed to proceed with them, but principally be? cause Eugenie would not consent to a res? toration at the expense of Alsace and Lor? raine, declaring that she valued the Interests of France more than the interesta of the dynasty. The State Debt. The public debt on October 31 inst, is set down in Governor Scott's message at $7,065,908 98, against $6,183,34917 on Oct? ober 31, 1S69; showing an increase of Sl, 482,559, although the State has, during the year, sold it* "remunerative property" to an amount of $95,449 20. A part of thc in? crease is accouuled for by the appropriation made last session for the purposes of the Land Commission. No hint is given in the Governor's message of the disposition made of the $2,700,000 of State bonds which were in the hands of the Financial Agent a year ago, and which were not included in the $6,183,349, given by the administration as the total debt of the State. We presume, however, that full particulars upon all these points is contained in the reports of the State Treasurer and Comptroller-General, which will soon be in possession of the public. _ WE are glad to see that notice has Leon given in the Legislature of a bill to regulate the hours of labor in the cotton factories in the State. The English laws upon this sub? ject are found to work .well, and since their passage there has been a Bteady improve? ment in the mental and physical condition of the women and children whom they most protect WE know nothing of tho merits of the squabble between Senator Mclutyre and Senators Leslio and Corbin; but we think that the first-named senator might lind a more dignilled, if less congenial, employ? ment than that of offering burlesque resolu? tions on thc floor of the Senate in the very Orst days of its session. WE print a very tart letter this morning, in which it is asserted that General Dennis is not eligible to thc seat which he holds us one of the members of the House of Repr?? sentatives from Charleston County. It will do no harm to look into this grave charge,* which, our correspondent declares, can be readily proved. IT is time that a thorough investigation bo had into the management of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Accident follows accident with startling rapidity, and it is plain enough that the road is unfit for use, or that its officers aro incompetent. The company owe it to the public to have the matter sifted to the bottom. WHEN the little bill for furnishing the Statehouse comes up, we shall see whether the General Assembly is inclined to heed Governor Scott's recommendation that strict economy be practiced in expending the pub? lic money. _Cost an ft -fon no.
