Tho Agence sugeests that Europe, in the Congress, should intrust Austris with tho administration of Bosols, and adds that, preciacly because England and Russia do not desirc a dismemberment of Turkey, an under- atandlng is both deairable and possible. ® MORE BWERPING REFORMS.

Nuw Yoz, Msy:13.—Tho Dully News' corre- | spondent at Berlin confirms the etatemeat that CHICAGO, Max Hoedel had & sccond examinatlon yeste day, st which he only reaflirmed his previous declaration, that ho dia not fire at the Emperor, but at himself. This story fs scouted by everybody as ridfcalous. There seems to be a euflictent number of witnesses to his actuat Intention to kill the Emoeror, however much lie may disclaim sny actual attempt to murder his sovereign. ** On the other hand,” says the correspondent, **the escape of the Emperor does not lessen . TNE INDIONATION OF THE PEOFLRE in the slightest degree. It only renders them calmer and better able to appreclate the full tignificance of the incident. The result is a fecling of serlous uneasiness and snziety. The event opens out & vision of possibilities which had bardly been considered, and swhich are really sppalling when calmly contemplated, I have never known Berlin 1o grave and even depressed as at this abrupt and startling aummons to resist & fos whom want, hatred, and sentiment can apparently drive to the point of deaperation. It does nét appear 1o be belleved that Hocde! hod any accomplices, or that any general plot existed. Iis act was apparcutly his own, but BOCIALIST PAPERS found upon his person, his known connection with the Soclal Democrats of Leipsic, and his styleof self-justification before the officers, leavs little aoubt that he is the product of revo- lutionarg sophism working upon s mind full of mentiment and vanity. It s only just to 8ay that the Soclalist paver here, In & epectal edition, denounces the deed and ropudiates all conoection with itoedel.” Englisn Journals of all tondencies stigmatize the act ns detestable, enngratulating Germany on the escape of the herote and aged Emperor. TAE IMPORT OF TUR DRED need not be exagwerated, Hoedel Is probably a verniclous young fanatic, as Kulimann was, and the Bocial Democrats of Germany will probably have to bear the odlum of his proceedings, as was the case with the Ultramontancs after the attempted asnssination of Blsmarck. Brnrix, May 12.—At the officlal examination of Hoedel, the prisoner stated that he was a nativo of Leipzig and born fn 1857, He dehled tliat he fired at the Emperor. 1o sflirmed that hio was without work and fntended to shoot himself publicly, to show to the rich the pres- ent condition of the peopte. Ilo atated that he shot once at himaelf, and could pot accouni for the other three shots which wero wanting in the chambers of tho revolver.

Ho declarcd that he belonged to no party, but was AN ANATORIST, tho cnemy of all political parties, the present condition of socioty, and public institutifons, It further results, from Investigation, that Hoedel formerly beld soctallstic meetings near Leipzlg. ‘The other prisoner, Krueger, appears iunocent, and s reported to have been liberated, Ho was arrcstod becauso he endeavored to protect Hoedel against the assaults of the excited crowds, CONGRATULATIONS, Telegrams congratulating the Emperor on his cscape have arrived from all the German Princes ana European Sovereigns. ‘To-day the Emperor received the Royal tamily, the Minfs- try, and the Fleld-Marshale, who came to con- gratulate him, GREAT BRITAIN.

Correspondence Detrojt Newa (Ind.). Wasninaroy, May 7.—~Amoug the many changes that are occurring In the political senti: ment ol the peoole of thls couutry, there ls one that is gradually but surcly taking placo which will be uch more surprising than auy that bas preceded ft. I refer o the sympathy which the Northers Democrucy has hitherto folt for the tnstitutions and the people of the Boutbern Btates. Heretofory it has been a dominant aud controlling sentiment, and a part of the political capitalot tho party. It was fnherited from the lust gencration, nourlshed by = patriotic de- termination to avcid the Umitation of party fn- fluence by geographical lines, cousccrated by wauy years of ignomiinious defcat at the hauds of a party esscutlally sectlonal I fts character and revolutionary in #1a. tendeucies, sud képt alive by the hops of & uatlonal triumph wheu the whirlwind of pussion and sectiovsl hatred should have speot Its forcu In the Northern States, 18ut wita the partlal realization of that hope there comes un appreciation of the trus cbarscter of the men upon whom they have wasted their sympatbies fo thne of war, aud whom thoy have sought 10 builld up und en- coursge in tune of peace. They wre fast dis- coveriug that the Southern people are AN INSULENT AND DOMINEERING BACE, proud of their descent from the outcasts who wero thrust upon our shores as & punishment for cnues commited in their pative laud, traltors by bereditary fustiuct, Traned to hatits uf indolence, and tu live on the unre- quited labur of others, they detest the luburiug muu aud ecoft at the virtucd which have wiven tue North its wealth, and power, and In- Huence, Accustomed to assoclate labor with servitude, they despise all who lubor; sud, whatever may be thelr character or so.1al position In the North, they ary soc.ally os- tractsed in the South, ustowed tu wield the of i race of slaves Lefore the Wur, sud siuce Lo contral the exvrelse of the fraochises Ly the use of tho -guw, they now brivg their old bat futo Congress, wod “crack thelr wlave-driver's whip over the heads of the repreacatatives of lsbor and its products frow the North. ilow long this domination will be submitted 10 by Northeru Dewmovrats is 3 queation not tasy tu determive. But there are abundunt aigos that it will not be long. On every hand ml{ be heard omlinous tnreats by ife-iong Northern Democrats, who have been exasperated by the dictatorial attitude assumed by the represcnta- tives of the South during thig sesslon of Con- gress. ‘I'ne disgust thus excited in the breasts ot Northern Democrats Is not a little strengta- ened by the recollection of the HABITUAL TREACHERY OF TIIB SOUTIL. They cannot forget thatit was Bouthern treason to the Democratic party which caused the defeat of Douglss, 2nd made the War possible. It was Southern treason that caused the Civil war, wasted dotold blood and treasure, and jeopard- ized the very existence of the Rapublic.” It was Southern treachery that gave success to the Re- publicans in 1872, Jt was Southern treachery that zave Hayes his present position—that bar- tered the rights of the whole people for the promies of a ittle Executive patronage. And now that it {s proposed to Investizate tae frauds Ly which & man waa seated in the Presidentlat cualr who was oot elected, the only upposition appreliended I8 irom the Southern traitors who bave hetrayed every cause, not purely eelfish, with which they have ever been coucerried. What exaperates Northern Demnocrats the most. 1 the assumption of Soutbern superiority, toclally as well as politicaily. It crops out in all the relations of hie. One cannot taik with a Suutherner ten minutes without hearing some expression indleative of that ABSUMFTION OF SUFERIORITT, A leading and very prominent New York gen- tleman told me the other day that a Soutuern acquainiance recently volunteered to tutroducs biin to Gen, Butler, of Bouth Carollna. When the ceremony was performed, the Southerner touk oceastu to inform Uen. Buticr that * Mr, s & Northern man, but a gentlemau, notwitustanding.” He miade the remark in verlect simplicity of suul, and without appreets ating the true significance of the remnark. W otten hear it remarked 1 tae North that ifa Northeru man toes South with the tnten- ion of mnking it his Jmmmucnl home, luvests bis tuney there, and llentities tlmself with authern fntereais, that he will Ue welcomed with genulng hostality and admitted to the best soclety st unve.
