^SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.]
Paris, April 12, 1875.
War is again threatened?war involving
Russia, Italy, Austria, Germany and France.
Prince Bismarck iB the promoter of this war,
and the Papacy is the pretext. Many signs
indicate that the illustrious Chancellor's in
tellect, long the -wonder and admiration of the
world, has become enfeebled, and that in his
fractiousnesa he is ever seeking battle with
the gigantic shadows of a sick brain.
THE CAUSES OT THE TBOUBLE.
The aggressive attitude of Prussia was
doubtless the real, though not the ostensible,
cause of the late conference at Venice. There
is also a strong belief that Russia, alarmed for
the safety of her Baltic provinces, will look
with favor upon the project of a new quad
ruple alliance, including France, against
Prussia. Such a plan, if formed, will prove
as powerless for the purposes of aggression as
was the confederation against the stubborn
ness of Frederick the Great, which broke like
angry waves against the rocky coast.
THE WAB POWEB OT GERMANY.
Germany could crumple the armies of France,
?till unorganized, as she did at Forbach and
Gravelotto ; could humble the pride of Aus
tria as on the day when her victorious cym
bals were heard at the gates of Vienna; while
the Italians have been UDable for many centu
ries to send to the battlefield soldiers to match
the Northman. It France, Austria and Italy
?hould, together, attack Prussia, their troops
would fall like corn before the sickle. They
would be outmanoeuvred, outengineered and
blown to the winds by the Prussian artillery.
BUSSIA AS AX ELEMENT OT THE COMBINATION.
Russia is invincible for purposes of defence,
but has never succecded in putting a Arm
grip on Germany as an invader. Her only
general, Todleben, is of German origin, like
all her other generals and government offi
cials. The imperial family is of German race
and closely allied with Prussia. The princi
pal financiers of the Empire are Germans.
Her purse strings are held abroad.
NOT PREPARED.
She has a miserable transportation and
commissariat system. While unconquerable
at home she is insignificant abroad, save for
the terror of tbe undisciplined Asiatics.
the czab cannot join an anti-pbussian
ALLIANCE.
Whatsoever panic-stricken journalists may
imagine, the Czar will never join cordially
any attack against the only upstanding autoc
racy resembling and excusing his own.
bismabck's vain idea.
It is quite possible that Bismarck and other
Prussian statesmen, secure in tbeir own limits,
may fancy they have the ability to deal in
high-handed style with the rest of Europe,
snd so insist that other States shall conform
to tbeir policy against the Roman Catho
lics on pain $f punishment; but surely this
extravagant notion is unsupported by the
true facts, and little Belgium is only selected
to try other than warlike tactics. ?
an injudicious movement.
It seems an injudicious choice, though
made with a noticeible appearance of cau
tion, and exhibiting its imprudence the more
glaringly that it was done boldly, without
commnnicating with the Powers guaranteeing
Belgian indepandcnce.
is ENGLAND A OREAT european POWER?
But the attack on Belgium is perhaps only
a measure to array England against Germany.
England would never join a league hostile to
Prussia for the purpose of serving other
countries, even Denmark, because a German
alliance is necessary to protect Constantinople
and British India from Russian encroach
ment.
MTS* riOHT FOB belgium.
Great Britain, however, is bound to fight
I for BdglVB, bound by treaty; and the na
tional sentiment of the whole people would
render war inevitable if the provocation were
given.
THE LESSON 07 TUX PUT TO OEBMANT.
Bat the Germans, though angry with
France and ready to fight again if necessary,
are unwilling to renew invasion without prov
ocation. Germany gained nothing in the war
but discontented provinces, while France is to
day more prosperous and richer than Ger
many.
RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS.
Again, Bismarck in alienating the German
Catholics, holds a similar position to that held
by Napoleon in 1870 with regard to hostile
parties, and this necessitates the keeping of a
large army at home even while fighting
abroad.
A MAN AS WELL AS MONARCH.
Finally the Emperor "William is kind-heartnd
and humane. He is unwilling to 6ully the
close of a glorious reign by wanton blood*
shed, and, perchtnce, defeat.
All desire to rest on their laurels.
THE CROWN PSINCE.
The German heir apparent is a phlegmatic,
tranquil gentleman, with small taste for sol
diering.
THE ORLEANS PRINCES.
The Orleans princes, so stupidly imported
into this businees, are sober, elderly gentle
men.
7BANZ JOSEPH.
The Austrian Emperor, already so unfortu
nate in the battle field, can hardly desire to
risk new disasters.
THE CZAR ALEXANDER.
The Bussian Emperor dislikes fighting and
is in indifferent health.
THE RAINBOW OP HOPE.
All the circumstances, taken into fair con
sideration, give tolerable force to the conclu
sion that the war clouds, black to-day and
menacing Europe, will pass away without
bursting into battle and storm.
PEESUEB D ISRAELI ON THE PltCSSO-BEIXJIAN
COT.
London, April 12, 1875.
In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Lewis
asked what course the government would
take if the independence of Belgium was im
perilled in consequence of her rejection of
Prussia's demands.
Mr. Disraeli replied that there had been
great misrepresentation and exaggeration in
this matter. The Prussian note to Belgium
was not a menace, it was only a remonstrance.
No rejoinder had been made to Belgium's
answer, and he believed the question was
concluded. Germany had shown her cor
diality for England by communicating to her
the correspondence.
In conclusion Mr. Disraeli declared that,
"were Belgium's neutrality really threatened
Her Majesty's government were prepared to
do their duty to the soveroign and would not
fear to meet Parliament."
PONTIFICAL APPREHENSION OF A PRCSSIAN AB
SORPTION OF THE ENTIRE QERMAN NA
TIONALITY.
Paris, April 12, 1875.
L' Union says the Pope has made represent
ations throagh the Patriarch of Venice to the
Emperor of Austria that the position of the
Church is becoming more and more intolera
ble and that if the unreasonable demands of
Prussia are not resisted by the Catholic Powers
the latter will lose all their influence and be
come subject to the German government,
which is endeavoring to bring the whole Ger
man nationality under one sceptre.

Malcontents of Both Parties Opposing
the Adjustment.
New Orleans, April 12,18T6.
General Sheridan has been anxiously consulted
by leading politicians bere, of both sides and all
factions, about the compromise m tbe Legisla
ture. Irreconcilable* on botb sides have tried to
make bead against the adjustment, but tbe mod
erate men so far control.
PINOHBACK AND WEST AS EVIL SPIRIT?.
Among tbe conservatives tbero is no difficulty,
those opposing adjustment having been overruled.
Among the republicans Plachback and Senator
West have tried to make trouble, and are still
using their influence among memoers as they ar*
rive to de.'eat tbe adjustment. They have visited
General Sheridan, but it Is reported that be told
tbem plainly that the Wheeler plan bad tbe sup
port of tbe republicans In Congress and of all good
men In the North, and that If It was not acoepted
and carried out in good faltn on Wednesday he
would pack up bis trunic and leave tbe State.
This suggestion, it is said, brought even Pinch
back to a halt.
THE SOREHEAD OPPOSITION.
It Is known that Hahn is opposed to tbe adjust
ment, and be, as Speaker of tbe House, may at
tempt to obstruct tbe measure, It Is charged
also tbat Marshal Packard is opposed to It. Some
republican members of the House also oppose it,
In tbe hope of having sundry Jobs allowed as tbe
price of their support. Governor Kellogg strongly
Javors the measure, and has tbe support of tbe best
men of both parties,

The Impracticable men on the conservative side
are disgusted, aud some talk of uniting with

favors the compromise. He says he is for a peace
able settlement.
HOPE FOR THE COXPBOWSE.
it Is believed, this evening, that tbe adjustment
will oe completed without delay on Wednesday,
but some uneasiness was felt to day because of a
reported remark of Wheeler concerning the status
of Ave members admitted by the Hahn Legist*
ture. The Legislature will sit onlv ten days, and
pass no political bills. Several financial reform
measures have been prepared and will probably
pass. _

THE STATE CAPITAL
The "Green Charter" Sent to the
Committee on Cities.
GENERALS HIPJOF JOHN KELLY
A Strong Delegation of Tammany
Magnates Visit Albany.
NEW REPUBLICAN TACTIC3.
ALBANT, April 12. 1875.
Tbe early train from New York brought a rush of
politicians hero to-day and wo are likely to have
lively proceedings lor the balance ot the session.
The immediate point of defence and attack seems
no* to be the "Green charter." A scare has evi
dently taken hold of the Tammany magnates on
this sabject. A etrong looby has been organized
to defeat ths bill. The train leaving New York
at ball-past ten o'clock on Monday morning
always brings up the New York delegation
and lrlends. The first train starts at eight
o'clock and arrives in Albany at one. On board of
the latter, comiort&oly ensconced In ono com
partment, were John Kelly, General F. B. Splno'.a,
Mr. E. D. Gale, clerk In the Arrears of Taxes De
partment, and Mr. William A. Boyd. It Is un
derstood In Albany that these gentlemen come as
a thoroughly equipped lobby to defeat the Husted
Miller-Oreen combination. They travelled In the
early train ahead ol the boys, so as to eacapo
particular notice and arrange preliminaries before
the main array of patriots arrived on the scene
at a later hour of the day.
THE NEW TORE DELEGATION.
The municipal lobby was represented by Alder
man Samuel A. Lewis, Aldermen Henry D. Pnrroy
and William L. Cole. On their arrival In Albany
a scouting expedition was immediately organ
tzea. I met several of the New York delega
tion at a lite hour in the afternoon on
their way to the Capital. Tncy whispered
confidentially that the "Uoss" had arrived, and
rushed hither and thither after imparting the mo
mentous Inlormatton. One tnquintivo Represen
tee questioned another anxlou9lr as to what the
presence 01 Mr. Kelly portended. "Well," re
sponded the other mysteriously, ??the Boss haa
come up to take charge of the field
and lobby as against tbe latest proposed
charter amendments, lie feels, it such a bill be*
comes law, it Is all up with him In Tammany.
That organization is already ripe for rebellion.
The m*mbers of the Legislature, both in the Sen
ate and the Assembly, believe It is time for a
change. The patronage rule uni centralization of
power has thoroughly disgusted them. Iu each
of their districts thov can onlv get a few tickets
lor laboring meu, while tnc best places are taken
by inends of one or two leaders. A New York
Tammany senator now moans noihlng more nor
less than a mere machine.
TATKONAdK OF SENATORS.
Belore the present arrangements a senator had
a large amount of patronage at his disposal, but
now minor ot!lc?s are dispensed by a system of
lottery at the calculation ot $1 60 per head. unn
dretls ot poor men arj starving lor want ol em
ployment In New Y'ork city while poli
ticians In Tninmany committees quarrel
over these crtunos of patronage. Great
abuses have already cropped np under this
svstera. "What are the auusea f" I questioned.
"Well," answered this memoer, "I am credibly
lnrortned that iu some oi tne districts tickets lor
laborer" are being sold at the rate ol fio per
head. Now, this Is sunnly outrageous. Tne sys
tem is all wrong and ougtit never to nave been
established. lama member ot the Legislature,
holding an important elective olllcs, scut here by
a largo majority or my fellow citizens,
and 1 cannot get a single ticket to put a man to
work. Tammany Senators can scarcely procure
any patronage for taeir mends, wtnle Senator
John Fox, who has been put out ot tne organiza
tion, can procure anything he wauts irom ttit
various departments tor his friends. This shows
a peculiar condition ol aOairs in Tuuinianv man
agement. lne result of la-i November's election
is aoining but a dead letter."
JOHN KELLY IN COMMAND.
The above is a sample ol discussion indulged in
around Albany uinong legislators to-day. The
country democrats listen attentively, ami wonder
astotnis oeciden wan* ol unanimity among tne
New York delegation. Mr. Kelly's arrival to as
sume command ot tne Tammany lurce in person
has lent a snlco to the contest. Mayor Wicknam
left Albany this morning alter his visit to Gover
nor Tllden. which has Been stated as merely oue
ol sociality.
At i be reassembling of the Legislature In the
evening, rumor was ouiy among the lobny tlat
an eitoit would b? made to recommit tne Cuarter
Dill to the Committee on t;ities. Mr. John Kelly
had his headquarters at Congress Ilatl. and couri
ers passed irequently nurmg the nigui trotn
the hotel to the Chain >er. It lecame
rodent that some sharp filibustering w.is
anout to take ptacc. Shortly atter the commence
men: ol the proceedings Mr. Beneatct, luotu.)
ot .schenectady, made a motion to su.-peud the
rules lor the purpose of introducing b.ils. This
developed t?? tactics about to ; e pursued. Tne
motiou required u two-thirds vote. If it
succeeded then would lotiow the motion
to recommit the ehatrer to the Committee on
Cities. Mr. Benedict's proposition tailed to re
ceive the requisite number ol votes?viguty-six. It
was. accuidingiy, lost.
The third reading of bills being the order of toe
evening was men prec eded with. The New York
delegation nad to come to tbe conclusion to go
itiro'ijfti wltn the regular order ol business
and at its c< Delusion make their motion
to recommit. This work, it was presumed,
would occupy tbe attention of tn" A-seniDlr until
midnigm, out tne New Yorn statesmen nadmtde
up their minds to sit it out. only tntrty-flve re
publicans answered the roll call. Four democrats
voted with those le publicans against Mr. He tie
diet's motion, so that a clear wajoritv remained
lor tbe motion to recommit, when tnat in anchor
business wit* reeched in regular order.
THE SAVINGS It AN I RILL.
Among the bills to be read was that tn relation
to savings banks. This bill is extremely l-ngtnv,
and il delated, some six hours might oe occupied
on the measnre before being reacheu. Mr. T. C.
Camptiell moved to send It back to the Committee
on Banks, and, ,on mis motion, moved the
previoua question. Tnis developed a clear
home thrust lor the coalition wmch
pushed tniougli the "Green charter"
on Tuesday umnt. A vote wss taken on Mr.
Cimpoell's motion and carried. Tnen General
Musted moved to reconsider the rote last taken,
And delivered a ten minutes' speecti in support of
his proposition, he afterward withdrew tne
motion, aud the third re ining of lulls was pro
ceeded with. I tie filibustering tor tune thus went
on. Rvery possible parliamentary trick was
resorted to. Uali a dozen motions to adjourn
wore made, the "yeas" and "n.tvs" being called
each tlmo and voted down uy tbe responsi
ble majority. There was much apparent confu
sion, and Speaker McGmre Icit thecnair.inra snort
period, leaving Mr. Hammond, or' ontario,
in his place. The repnoilcans evidently meant
to wear out their opponents, ? nut it wa?
no use. Tne New York delegation rushed around
the chamber excitedly snd acted as if tbe weight
oi empire tested upon their brows. Their action
was in singular contrast with tne ?oltd and well
disciplined actum of tnu ptiatanx wntch sent mo
Charter bill before the committee of the Who,a
last week. Rut they were bound to do ibetr work,
and it waa accomplianed eff. ctually.
THE CHARTER MI.L.
Tbe? bad the vote oehiud them, a majority of
aorno twenty and oound to ' stick'' until the reg
ular ordjr ot tiosine-s permitted a resolution
to be entertained ror recommittal. At hau-pasi
eleven o'cloc* tne orner of t-uainess, in the intro
duction of a resolution, was reached. Mr. Mackin,
ol Dutches*. then handed up a resolution to
tne Clerk, already prepared, directing that the
Charter bill nc sent back to tho .Comtnit.ee on
Cities lor consideration.. Several friends ol the
bin here left tie chamber, tainting they might
deieat the action oi the House by want ot a quo
rum. Mr. Alvord remained a id reiuscd to vote
when his name was called. He stood on ti.e pre
rogative as laid down tn a recent contest by the
speaker of tne Hou?e of Kepresentatives. that
ne could not be compelled to vote unless
he wished to do so. .Mr. Clam, another
republicans took tne same stand. Mr. Waenner
moved the latter be adjudged in contempt.
Speaker Mi Guire decided tnat nv tne rules of
tne Asaemblv the gentlemen were compelled
to vote. Mr. Waehner's motion was not
pressed, and Mr. dark voted in tne negative.
Mr. Husted, on his name being called, voted
in tavur of the recommittal; lie stated the bill nad
accomplished all lie intended, lie never propose l
to pass it. Mr. Miller, tne member irom Orange,
bad endeavored 'o lather Its resDonsimuty on bis
