oa which tho perfection and cn dina nco of

The despatches of Count Bismarck went
beyond every other such document, in dis?
courtesy, invective and provocation, aud it
has been replied to by the Count Mens
dorff in a more guarded style, but in lan?
guage which shows offended pride and un?
conquerable resolution. The Austrian
Minister for Foreign Affairs makes a
solemn protest against the proceeding in

clares that France woola have repudiated
all idea of territorial aggrandizement, so

undisturbed, much preferring a good un?
derstanding with her neighbors lo any
territorial acquisition. France would have
reserved for tho Germanic Confederation
a more worthy position; for Prussia, better
* geographical boundaries; and for Austria,
the maintenance of her great position in
Europe after tho cession of \ enetia to
Italy, in exchange for territorial compen?
sation. Though the Conference has failed,
France, the Emperor thinks, will not have
to draw the sword; but will continue to
observe au attentive neutrality. The let?

Trial of O'Jvult*, m. Fenian.
The Missouri Democrat gives the
proceedings in a Fenian trial, in
which one of tho witnesses deposed
as follows :
Q. Do you know OVTenks?
A. O who?
Q. O'Jcnks, the prisoner.
A. Oh, Jenks; yes, I am slightually
acquainted with him.
Q. Howlong?
A. About five ten at breakfast, but
fully six feet about lunch time.
Q. I mean, for what period of time
have you kuown him?
A. Since the year of the Cou voli?
tion. I cut hia acquaintance after he
took the test oath.
Q. Did you hear him m?k? a speech
at Cahokia, on Tuesday night? If
so, rel?ate, verbatim, et li tar?t um, et
punctvatum, et speJlafum, precisely
what he said, and imitate his manner,
actions and gestures.
A. He first sat on a cotton-wood
stump, with his elbows on his knees
and his chin resting upon the pidms
of his hands, (fazing into the crys?
tal depths of the Mississippi, he said:
Romans, countrymen, and finny
ones: if to love the blue eyes of
Erin's fair daughters; if to have a
weakness for strong Irish whiske\'; if
to bato being gored by a bull named
John; if to have been with Sherman
to see the contrabands; I say, if this
be treason, I am a traitor, and the
Executive Attorney can put that in
his pipe and smoke it. He then drew
from his vest pocket a round quart
bottle, ami poured the contents into
a hole.
Q. What sort of a hole?
A. I think it was a rat hole, for it
could not be filled.
Q. Did you hear him use this ex?
pression, "I intend ti? walk into
Canada," or anything like it?
A. Yes; he said there "'?ts a fellow
named Kennedy, who had tied a tin
pan to the tail of his black-and-tan,
and, the first chance he got, he would
"walk into Kennedy like a thousand
of bricks."
THE FIRST BLOOD.-The Adjutant
General of Virginia, in his report
for the year 1861, has the following:
"J. Q. Marr-Graduated July 4,
18G1. Lawyer. Member of the
Virginia Convention. Entered mili?
tary service as captain of Virginia
volunteers April, 1861. Killed at
Fairfax Court House, May 31, 1861.
First blood qf the tear."
J. Q. Marr was commissioned "a
Lieutenant-Colonel in the active
volunteer forces of the State, to rank
as such from tho 2d day of May,
1801." lt was signed by Governor
Letcher on the 5th of that month,
and directed to him at Harper's
Ferry. Being on duty at another
point, it never reached him. Several
monthsjafter his death, it was enclosed
to a member of his family, who ?till
retains it, by a clerk in tho Confede?
rate States dead letter office at Rich?
mond.
The Xew York Express, referring
to the Missouri "Butcher," McNeill,
whose record it says ."ia likely to live
in eternal reproach," adds:
"There are some other (?ener?is
who, under cover of 'unconditional
loyalty,' perpetrated acts, during the
war, which were overlooked in the
confusion and excitement of tho time,
but which are rising up now, in a va?
riety of forms, to confront and con?
demn them. Nemesis may some?
times scorn to sleep, but in these
cases she follows up and holds on to
her subjects with remorseless grip."

* TEXAS.-Th? election in Texas
takes place on the 25th, of Jrme.
IOWA.-Bey. Josiah. Grinnell, the
sitting member of Congress from the
Fourth District, failed to get the
radical nomination. He was beaten
by Judge Longbridge, who received
68 votes, to 69 for Grinnell.
CoNNrcmcoT.-Gov. Hawley, who
received "the first official copy," has
already sent in to the State Senate
the proposed "amendment" of the
radical reconstructionists. It was
made the special order for Friday,
the 22d.
NEBRASKA.-The Constitution pro?
viding for State government in Ne?
braska has been adopted by a vote o?
the people. The Democratic victory
in the State is now generally conceded,
though the returns of the election
are not all in, but enough to show
that probably Morton (Democrat)
and thc whole ticket is elected, and
that the Legislature is about divide cl.
When it is remembered that this has
been a radical territory, and that the
last delegate was elected over Miller
(Democrat) two years ago, by about
1,000 majority, the change of senti?
ment will be appreciated.
KANSAS, MISSOURI", MARYLAND,
ILLINOIS AND VERMONT.-The re-elec?
tion of Senators Brown, of Missouri,
and Pomeroy, of Kansas, whose
terms expire in March next, will both
be sharply contested, and so also wi!
that of Senators Cresswell, of Mary?
land, and Trumbull, of Illinois, am]
j the Vermont Senators, appointed bj
I tho Governor to fill vacancies, aro b\
no means certain of confirmation bv
the Legislature.
INDIANA.-At the Democratic Con
vention in the Seventh Indiana Con
gressional District, tho following
resolution was adopted: "That tin
restoration policy of President John
son, and his gallant defence of thc
same, excites and receives our warm
est approval and highest admiration
and that we pledge to him and to thc
country our best efforts to send tc
Congress from this District an open,
bold and manly defender and sup
porter of that policy, in the place o:
the time-serving, weak and vascillut
ing member chosen by tho radica
Congress, in place of the gallant
Voorhees, elected by the people.*"
TENNESSEE.-Gov. Brownlow has
issued a proclamation calling th?
Legislature of the State to meet a:
Nashville the 4th of July, for tin
purpose of ratifying the amend
ment to the Constitution of th?
United States, just proposed Iv*

Mr. Stephens met the Centres of th
Manhattan, Long Island and Jerse
City Circles, at about 8 o'clock, a
No. 19 Chatham street. A preambl
and series of resolutions were rea
and adopted. The action of Mi
Stephens was endorsed. His recer
movements between New York an
Richmond were pronounced a suecos
for the cause of Fenianism. Tho ac
tion of England required renewe
exertions on the part of tho Brothel
hood. Mr. Stephens replied b
thanking the Centres for their r<
newed expressions, on their faith, i
his ability and devotion. He then r?
tired to his apartments at tho Metre

NORTH CABOUL A.--"Mr. John
O'Connor, of Newbern, N. C., ha?
kati a bout with tho Bureau, In
which he has come out second best,
up to this time, but ho intends to
carry the case before the President.
He was summoned before the Bureau
on the charge of maltreating a negro
woman. He denied the jurisdiction
of the Bureau, but be was fined.
The Magistrate's Court undertook to
pass upon his case; whereupon tho
Bureau threatened to arrest the jus?
tices, who, however, proceeded to try
tho case, despite the threats. Mr.
O'Connor's counsel then produced
before the Bureau Court a certified
copy of tho records of tho Special
Magistrate's Court in O'Connor's
case, and showed that his client was
now in ihe hands of the civil authori?
ties to answer tho charge against bim,
and claimed his discharge from mili?
tary custody. The Bureau refused
to look at the documents or to recog
nizo the action of the Court, and de
maudedthe fine of fifty dollars, which
O'Connor paid.
The case now goes up to Governor
Worth, to be by him laid before tho
I President.
We trust that the President will
inteqioso to stop tliis intolerable in?
terference of the military with tho
civil authorities. The point has been
settled by Judge Nelson, of the Su?
preme Court, that all such proceed?
ings arc unlawful and unconstitu?
tional. -Rtckmnn'1 Dispatch.
GEORGIA.-"Quondam," a corres?
pondent of the New York Times,
writing from Macon, thus refers td
tho "Bureau," and its workings i ii
Georgia:
Let any impartial observer com?
pare the condition of society in South?
western Georgia, where tho Bureau
is not universally known and felt,
witli that of Augusta, Atlanta, Macon
or Savannah, where agents are as
numerous as blackberries, and if he
docs not agree with mc that both
black ami white are happier, more
contented, on better terms with each
other, more virtuous ami more indus?
trious, where the Bureau is in total j
eclipse than where its full eflul?rence
is felt. 1 am ready to confess myself ;
mistaken.
So long as tie.: old slave codes were
iinrepealed, and the negroes were de?
prived of legal protection and the
right t< appeal to the Courts, every
ono agreed that there was a manifest
necessity for tho establishment of .
Some authority to see that the freed- |
men were secure against, wrong. It
could not have been expected that
the sudden emancipation of so many
millions of negroes could have been |
attended with so little disturbance of
the peace and good order of the conn- ?
try. lt was the duty o? the Govern?
ment to provide the most certain pro?
tection of the emancipated slaves, ami
this was generally conceded, although .
the maun er in which the duty was 1
performed was very unanimously con?
demned, aud not without reason.
The exploits of tho General Wilds ?
and Chaplain Frenches ;lnd Captain !
bryants, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
who first introduced the institution |
in Georgia, challenge competition in j
their excess of outrage ami merciless
oppression. But from the hour that
the Legislature passed laws placing
the negro on tho same footing as the |
white mun before the law, and the
Courts were re-opened, and the au
thority of the civil magistrates of the |
State restored, the Freedmen's Hu
renn was as unnecessary in Georgia
as it would be in Vermont.
INTKKESTJNI; CONVERSATION WITH
THE EMPEROR OF FRANCE. -Tho Paris |
corresponpent (June f?) of the .V/- '
tional Intelligencer says:
"1 had communicated tome, a few !
days since, the chief points of a con?
versation, held directly with the Em- t
peror himself, on the questions at ,
present agitating Europe. The con- j
versation 1 speak of was of tho most ?
intimate character, ami passed ca lete
a-tete with Napoleon, in his private ,
cabinet, after dinner, over a cigar, j
But I nm permitted to mention it, be?
cause the Emperor.professed to make ,
no secret of the sentiments he ex?
presse:!, and there is, therefore, no j
breach of confidence in repeating
what he said. What, above all, struck
the person he conversed with, was the
admiration, amounting almost to en- ;
thnsiasm, displayed at the great up
rising of tho Italian nation, which is
taking place at this moment. The :
Emperor not only warmly admired
and applauded such a manifestation
of national devotion, but he expressed
his conviction that it would be found
irresistible in the end, even though
left to its own unaided energies, lt
was impossible, he said, that, in pre?
sence of such a movement, the Vene?
tian question could be longer ad?
journed, or that it could be decided
otherwise than in favor of the na?
tional cause. Napoleon lil thought
the German questions were compara?
tively easy of solution, and might be
settled by diplomacy. But for the
Italian question, though "determined
to use his utmost efforts in favor of
peace," he confessed he had "no hopi?
of proving successful," nor saw any
other issue than the sword. The
events I have above related prove the
Emperor to be only too far-sighted i n
his apprehensions."
