Tho Secretary of the Treasury, in_?i communication to tho ffouac, expresses an opinion, based upon h?B observation of the operation of the law of 1861, that an additional enactment authorizing tho resumption by the South? ern Rtates respectively of the remainder of the direct tax duo from each, would, in view of tho present impoverished condition of their people, prevent much hardship in individual case?, and save from confisca? tion the property of many persons against whom the Government has no grounds of complaint : while no public interest would be injuriously affected by tho change. He states, should this policy be adoptent, the collection of taxes under the present sys? tem might and ought to be discontinued, until?an opportumtv for assumption be offered. Whether the amount realized from resales of property bid in for the Go? vernment should or should not be allowed to tho States respectively, in computing tho taxes still due, is a question well de? serving of consideration, which is submit? ted without comment. The Senate refused to take up the House resolution fixing a day for final adjourn? ment. It was engaged' iu thc considera? tion of the tax bill, and adopted the amendment of two cents a pound on cot? ton. The House refused to concur in the Se nate" amendment to the Paris Exposition bili; and a committee of conference was appointed on the disagreeing votes'. Au active member of the Grattan Circle, in Brooklyn, who possessed a homestead* a fortnight ago, sold it ont and invested the proceeds in the Fenian cause. Ho is now penniless, and dependant on his daily labor for his daily bread. Another Fenian, of large sympathies, residing in the Fourteenth ward, invested $10,000 in the movement, which was his all, and the savings of twenty-five years' in? dustry. On Tuesday, he had only left of this amount a $100 Fenian bond. An aged widow sent her only son off with the Williamsburg con? tingent, and sold the cottage in which she lived, giving the proceeds to the cause. The failure of the Canadian expedition had so fearful an effect upon a well-known medical gentle? man of Brooklyn, that his reason is despaired o? The Picayune thus sketches a June day in New Orleans: "Figs aro at last becoming plentiful-not ouly the white and black varieties, but also the purple-veined Celeste, the most delicious and delicately flavored of them all. In the rural districts of our city the luxuriant foliage of the fig trees lends at all times a charm to the level landscape, while in the soft? ened fight of evening they givo a mellowness to the pioture winch Claude Lorraine would have loved to look upon. Golden-hued cante lopes, redolent with perfume, pearly eared corn and crimson-tinted toma? toes, encircled with fragile cones of the pale green okra, aro the tempta? tions cunningly displayed in the restaurant windows." The Supreme Court of Alabama, on j June 7, decided two coses involving the validity and constitutionality of ! the Act of the Legislature, commonly j call the "Stay Law." Able opi? nions were delivered by each one of the Judges. The el?ect of the decision is to sustain tho first and eighth sections of the Act, which post? pones the rendition of judgment for at least twelve months; while the second,- third and fourth r.?etior?>4. which relate to proceedings for tho collection of payments by execution, are pronounced unconstitutional and void. Chief Jnstice Walker dissents from the opinion of the Court on the first point, and holds the entire law void. The report of Gen. Humphreys, ! concerning the losses by crevasses in Louisiana, shows the breaks to be numerous and unusually disastrous. He recommends appropriations for repairs. He says that crops of cotton growing in the regions above Red River in I860 would amount to 8108, 000,000. Tho complete repair of all levees would require $3,900,000, di? vided botween Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. He estimates allu viate lands at 317,000 square miles, of which 123,000 are in sugar regions, and of which one-third might be brought under cultivation. NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. - The Convention passed on ordinance on Saturday, changing the time for the election of Governor and mem? bers of the General Assembly until tho third Thursday in Octobor, and fixing the ratification of the amended Constitution on the first Thursday in August. The W?r in Europe. ..'?....??>.' 'ThV New York Hesxild, of the 17^ luringavsP the Retails of thc ?ewtf bre?al $J? the ?City ?Pari< io the' 7th instant. The principal items ?were pubKshed by telegraph. The subjoined article on the. war is from the London Times\ of the 5th instant : lt. is with the deepest regret we announce that the hopes of settling, by a eonferenee, the ' diffphtes which now agitate Europe, must be aban? doned. The Frenok Government bas telegraphed to our own that iii con sequence of the persistence of Austria in imposing conditions which would make the discussions nugatory, the conference will not bo held. ! It would, indeed;- be a mockery. to j cali together the representatives of j the great powers, on terms which would necessarily involve their imme? diate separation. We fear, then, that ? matters stand as they stood three : weeks siuee, and that it now rests I with the armed -ppwers to compose j their disputes by negotiation between themselves, or to resort to the tinat arbitrament of war. We cnn only hope that the former counsel will pre? vail, but everything must now be done by the powers themselves, for tho ?uue?ons of the neutral States are nt an end. This decision of the Austrian Em? peror will be termed by his admirers firmness, by his enemies perversity. ? We have no desire to judge harshly a ? sovereign who has certainly received much provocation, but it is to be re ; gretted that Austria should, for the second ?imo within seven years, seem to be the cause of a European war. Tho error of her policy will be proved by the temper in which her foes will receive the mows that she has stran? gled the Conf?rence. Wherever there is one who wishes her ill, whether it be in the conclaves of Prus? sian politics, in the pubhc places of the Italian cities, or in the house? holds of her disaffected provinces; there will be joy when it is told that mediation is at au end. and that on Austria the blaine is made to rest. Il the Emperor had retained an agent of Count Bismark us his adviser, he could not more effectually have served the policy of his opponents. Now that the Conference Ls a dre..m of the past, there will IK: many ready to declare that if it had boen held it would htive worked wonders. It will be described as a potent instrument of reconciliation, - which would cer? tainly have settled all the difference. of tue Continent and placed the na? tions in new harmony, had it not been for tho obstinacy of cue incor? rigible dynasty. Such will, no doubt, be the chorus of Prussian, I tallar and Frenchman, and it is impossible to deny that they will have sonn ground for their invectives. Th* veri; small chance ich ich the Conferenh (jure of maintaining pence itu ute it al the /ess necessary for Austria to abstaii from ttUetuiinq il. If she wishes for J war which shall punish her trench ero u German adversary, it could not bavi been prevented, it could hardly havi been delayed, by letting the plenipo tentiaries meet ?md find out for them solves the impossibility of a settle ment. We have never attached mucl importance to the Conference, suv so far as it gave the public opinion o Europe the opportunity of pro noiincing officially on tho matters ii dispute, but to appear to reject ami as it were, to fear this harmless dis? cussion, diminishes the moral weigh of any power It will be said tim the cause of Austria must be ba when she seems afraid even to liste to the opinions of disinterested state: men. That there should be room for th accusation is the more to be regrette since, in the opinion of impartit men, the cause of Austria might I i very forcibly defended. In German she is, or was till a few days ailie? completely in the right. Assn min that the Elbe Duchies form part < the Confederation, she has un i form demanded that they should be di posed of in accordance with Germs public law. The Austrian Goven mont has been supported by tl minor States, and by tho publ opinion of Prussia itself, in the part has taken, which bas been only to r< si an indefensible and shamelessaggre sion. Were the German quest i? the only one in vol veil in the wa j t very right thinking man would be ( I the side of Austria. There is, u happily, the Italian dispute, also, y even for the holding of Venetia tl Austrians can present argunien which it would be difficult for state men or lawyers to confute. Tin tenure of the province rests upon basis of legal right, which they m well oppose to the aspirations of th? ' opponents. They may say that V netia, its soil, its fortresses, its po tion as a defensive outwork of t empire, is theirs by solemn treaty, was to tho great Napoleon, th?1 ru whose teachings the present Empei j of the French professes to folio j that they owed their first possessi j of Venice. lt was taken from tb? J in 1S0?, by the chances of war. a ; fell to them again in I815by the sal arbitrament. It was confirmed i them by the treaties of Vienna; t .General Congress of 1856 did l venture to question their rigid t<> the peace of Zurich recognized it theirs when they ceded Lombardy Napoleon. They might retort other powers which hold possessi? that arti sundered from neighbori nationalities, and ask who is to c the first stone at them. They u urge that no equivalent has been could be offered them; that they will not take money, and that no territory on- their frontiers Can compensate them for the lose-of Ye nit ia, or is in the power of the Conference to be? stow, if even it were suitable. Can they be expected to annex the inde ?endent Servians, the barbarous fontenegrins, Bosnia, with a large number of Mahomedans, or the Da? nubian principalities, which have inst chosen a ruler for themselves? They might fairly puzzle any representa? tive of the neutral powers by simply asking him what he could propose that was honorable and j nat. We have ourselves seen as yet no propo? sition that deserves a moment's con? sideration, and -we suspect that no member of the Conference has been prepared with a practical scheme. If, then, Austria had accepted the Con? ference, she -would have retained her position as a State standing on the defensive in support of strict rights, and assailed for refusing to yield to what no statesman in Europe could coll upon her to yield. Sho might have waited till her adversaries or her advisers refuted each other by con? tradictory propositions, and have re? tired at length to fight or make peace with her reputation for temperance and justice reassured. It is likely now to be far otherwise. People will say that Austria cannot resist the temptation her immense levies present to her. She has three fourths of a million of men in thc field. She is, or thinks herself, a full match for all her present adversaries. Her population nearly equals theirs, and she has the middle States of Ger many, with an army-of more than 150,000 men, favorable to her, and likely to move in her favor if the war lasts. In Italy, tho Austrian army, entrenched in one of the strongest positions in Europe, may allow the enemy to exhaust his strength against the Quadrilateral. In tue North, Field Marshal "Benedek, the ables! soldier of the empire, is at the head of an army which may strike a sud? den and crushing blow. From thc frontier of Bohemia, he looks North ward and Eastward over the plains ol the Prussian kingdom, and sees nc invincible obstacle to the capture ol Berlin or the reconquest of Silesia Whatever may be in store for tin Austrians, they are at this moment convinced that the outbreak of wai will give thom victory and revenge aud deliver tho empire forever iron the designs of its enemies. It is i thoroughly warliko spirit which ha: dictated their answer to the neutra powers, and which may now at am moment cause the first blow to !>< struck. There is, therefore, nothing further to be done or said. Thos< who choose war must be left to wii or lose by war. But, ii there be stil prudence at Vienna, the Empero will abstain from offensive operation on both frontiers of his dominions The anger of the Court and arm; burns fiercest against Prussia, o rather against the Prussian Covern ment, for such is the hatred of th war among large numbers of th Prussian people, that they may b looked upon as moro on the side c Francis Joseph than of King Wilban: It is too probable that Austria wi seek to strike a heavy blow at once conscious that no one is likely to ir terfere in defence of her Norther adversary. But with such a blow, a hopes of peace vanish, and Prussi: with all her legions, is brought int the field. There is au additional rei son why the Austrians should kee on thc defensive in Italy. It is n( only, as far as we can judge, betti strategy, but there are political re: sons for it. An offensive campaig could hardly fail to invite the inte ference of the French. Napolec could not see with indifference tl Austrians again in possession < Milan. Although the French aro has little desire for another war wit Austria, and although, if it mu tight, it would rather find anoth foe, yet the reconquest of any part Italy would assuredly bring it aga into tho field. TIIK EUROPEAN WAR.-The Ni York Post says Austria, it seems, the last moment, refuses to come in the conference, which was propos chiefly on her account, except i condition that she shall not lose t< ritory. This is as though a count gentleman should refuse to enter mock auction shop except on com tion that he should not have 1 pockets ] >ieked.

Ho has geniously brought affairs to a <U lock, aud now he wipes his eyes a eries, "Oh, what madness, oh, wi perversity!" And truly we titi Prussia and Austria mad tiiid ?; verse; for they should see that only one likely to gain by their rpi I rel is Napoleon.

Merritt was the principal -witness for the Government. On his testi? mony Mrs, Surratt was convioted and hanged, and on his testimony it was shown that Jefferson Davis, C. C. Clay and George N. Sanders, wore directly implicated in the assassina? tion. To outsider tho testimony of this man, Merritt, read strangely ot ? the time of the trials. His state? ments did not appear, reasonable. Mrs. Surratt's daughter, after the execution of her mother, prononnecd them utterly false from beginning to end; and so indignant was Clay when he heard What this witness had said, that he voluntarily surrendered him? self to the Government authorities, and asked for a trial. Davis and Sanders, too, pronounced his testimo? ny perjury. Indeed, his entire stock before the illegal mUitary court had the appearance of manufactured tes? timony. It now appears that this villain':: evidence was perjured from begin iring to end. He has recently beer before the Committee on the judici arv, of the House of Representatives and his examination thero showec that his testimony in thc trial of thc conspirators was totally void of truth that he really knew nothing connect j ing any persons with transactions no recognized by the usages of war that his attempt to connect Davis Clay, Sanders and others with ih< assassination of Lincoln, was a pur? fabrication. One vers- remarkabh fact was elicited in his examination wherein he admitted that the Secre tory of War, Edwin M.
