The Journal des Debats of Paris, of April 14, has an article on the Luxemburg question which terminates as follows :— Every one feels that the question is now between France and Prussia. ‘The French government has ex- pressed its firm conviction that peace is not to be dis- turbed by this “incident.” There seems to be an exag- gerated modesty about this last expression, “Incident” may produce “events.’’ These things are not to be undertaken except when they are sure of succeeding, for in case of want of success they bring more disap- pointment than they would in advantave if the coeded.

Contrary to the expectations of many of his friends, Mr. George Peabody, arrived here at eleven o’clock this morning from Baltimore by special train, accom- panied by Mr. Garrett, President of the Potomac, Wash- ington and Baltimore Railroad. During the short time he remained in the city he was the guest of Mr. George W. Riggs. Mr. Peabody called at the White House and was received by the President in the Blae Parlor. He then visited Sir Frederick Bruce, the British Minis- ter, and about three o’clock this afternoon returned to Baltimore by « special train, where he will remain to» night. To-morrow Mr. Peabody leaves for New York. As was stated yesterday in these despatchos, the portrait of Queen Victoria was not sent to the British Minister. ‘Mr, Peabody received the portrait while in New York, it baving been sent directly to his address. Meeting of Colored and White Republicans— Senator Sumner Wants a Colored Man in the Washinaton City Council. A mixed colored and white meeting of republicans of the First ward of this city took place last night, whom Mr, Martin presented a series of resolutions instructing the representatives to the Central Convention to support the nomination of the German Radical Association for the office of Register, P, H. Reinhardt, and protesting against the nomination for any office of any person or persons who have aided or abetted the rebellion by counsel or otherwise, and declaring the nomination of a colored candidate in the coming election detrimental to our public interest. The reading of the resolutions ¢reated much confusion, several gentlemen endeavoring to obtain the floor. Mr. 8. L, Henderson, colored, finally obtained the floor, and asked that the resolutions be acted on sepa- rately, and declared he was opposed to the German Tadical ticket. Allof them could stand in their own doors and throw stones at each other. On this ticket there was not one freedman of Virginin or any other place. (Loud applause). Now, why was this? He hoped he was speaking to the point. (Cheers and laugh- ter.) Mr. F. A. Taverns, colored, moved to lay the resolu. tions on the table, but withdrew the motion in order that the President could have the floor. Mr. Cook was opposed to the resolutions and the Ger- man radical ticket, A distinguished Senator had sent for him to his place of business, and told him that at least one colored man would have to be sent to the City Council of Washington, as a betitting examplo to the South; aud that Senator who thus urged that some colored man should be on the ticket was the distin- guished Senator from Massachusetts, Charles Sumner. The upshot of the matter was, that the idea of nomi- nating a colored candidate for office was on a vote laid on the table. ‘The Treasury Building Insecure. An inspection of the foundation of the Treasury bni ing has revealed the fact that, however firmly that ins tution is established financially, the building which con- tains 1 is now in a decidediy shaky condition, and unless some prompt remedy is applied to the evil, which is gradually impairing its solidity, a large portion of the old building will tumble down before the extension is completed. The granite interior wall of the besement at the northeast corner of the building has sunk several inches, and the heavy granite blocks are cracked, while the brick work above is loose and crumbling. Yester- day afternoon a considerable portion of the brick wall tell, The cause of this damage to the building, which is one of the strongest and most durable of all the public buildings, ‘s the immense weight of the machiaery of the printing division, coucentrated at one point. In the first story, directly over where the wall is shattered, are two hydraulic presses, weighing about fifty tons each. The ponderous weights of these presses have fallen from the height of several feet, by the breaking of the rods which are used to elevate them, twice within the last year, and the concussion has crushed the granite wall of the bagement. In the fourth story, directly everhead, there are forty-eight hydraulic presses, each weighing about four tons, besides an tron paper mill and three or four steam engines. On the second floor, also immediately over the broken foundation, are the cash vaults and fron safes of the cash room. It is the opinion of expert mechanics that unless the greater portion of this weight isremoved from above the fractured wall the entire end of the building will in a short time settle so as to render it unsafe, and if the weights of the Dresses fall once more it will crush the story at that end and bring down all that part of the building. Now is the time for the proper authorities to give this matter their attention and prevent the occurrence, at no distant day, Of a terrible calamity, The of the Printing Bureau is entirely too ponderous and h to ocoupy any other than a ground floor, and, in fact, should not be in the Treasury at all. The Thirty-ninth Congress made an appropriation of two hundred thon- ‘sand dollars to erect a suitable building to accommodate the printing establishment of the Treasury, bat the appropriation lies untouched, while the working of the machinery is battering own the Treasury and placing in Jeopardy the lives of a thousand hnman beings. It is stated that the erection of the new building 1s delayed by the Superintendent of the Printing Division, who oes not approve of the plans submitted by the supervis- ingfarchitect. This seems to be a matter that calls for the interposition of Secretary McCulloch. ‘The Management of the Printing Bureau of the Treasury Departm As showing how matters seem to be managed in the Printing Bureau of the Treasury Department, it is said that every day #4 four o'clock a comparison and close examination i made of the operations of the day. Occasionally there have been robberies of bonds, cur- rency and small sums of fractional currency; but this system of daily examinations has nearly always frus- trated a successful consummation. A case occurred yesterday afd to-day, when @ shect of paper on which a bond was to be printed was found non ew. It is the rule of Mr. Clarke to issue to the superintendent of each room the paper for printing bonds and notes in packages containing one thousand eheets each, apd each superir- tendont 1s held responsible for the return of one thousand notes or the sheets upon which they were to be printed, if the same should be torn or de- faced by the machine. Yesterday bundle, containing one thousand shects, was issued to one of the operators, for the purpose of printing registered certilloates of in- debtedness, each for the sum of $1,000. The duty of the operator was to print the border only, and it would be placed in other hands for completion. Upon count- ing the bundle last evening nine hundred and ninety- nine sheote only were found, and Mr. Clarke immedi- ately directed that no employé of the Burean—about fifty males and seven hundred females—should ieave the office until the missing sheet should be recovered. ‘The work was counted over, but nothing of the missing sheet coald be found. It was ascertained that some vir Mors passed through a portion of the Bureau during the day, and the employés contended that it was unjust to detain them and hold them responsible when the*hect might have been taken by some perton not employed in the Bureau. Under these circumstancer, and the mise ing sheet being of so commercial value, Mr. Clarke allowed the operators ‘o ieave without finding it, and search is being made thie morning. It is very probabi that it may be somewhere about the machines, or | some of the bundles, having adhered to another short. ‘The sheet is of no nse, but each operator is held respon- sible for the amount of money to be printed ow each sheet when the blank paper is issued.

VIRGINIA. ‘The Street Car DiMculty in Rickmond—Fears of « Riot. Wasuinatom, April 26, 1867. ‘The street car difficulty has within the past day or two assumed grave and serious aspect im Richmond. The colored citizens there seem determined to assert their rights to ride on the cars despite all opposition, and this evening a strong police force guards the line of the city rallway in anticipation of an attack. Fears are enter- tained of a recurrence of the New Orleans, Savannah and Norfolk riots, The negroes, urged by political agita- tors, threaten to stop the operation of the railway unless they are allowed to ride over it in common with the whites. Uptothe present time this evening no out- ‘break has occurred, ‘The Richmond Newspapers. It appears that since Senator Wilson made his second appearance in Richmond the newspapers there have got themselves into a highly unresonstructed muddle. The Enquirer, with tears in its eyes, pronounces its “adieu to the Whig’ because the latier confesses that it is bet- ter for the South to unite with a powerful than with a weak y in the North; and the iteelf Meparhetical touched by its shightors uaseotee sorrow.” +z ‘ing into the! ure =the form of in ty act of both the scene would be a movin, power of imagination.

If the visit of a single prominent stump speaker from the North creates such a sensation how will it be when a hundred or more political missionaries from the North go South to enlighten the Southern heathen?

The Richmond Times of April 21 comes to the conclu- sion that in Virginia ‘the success of the conservative party will be absolutely certain if the white voters take care to have themselves registered, and also vote. There is no dishonor, no surrenderiug of principle, in their doing this.” Radical Meetiug at Lynchburg, Va.

The Southern Prees Convention—Governor Jenkins and the Military Bill—Doubt it His Course Will Be Eudorsed—The Reasous That Prempt Acquicsonce to the Will of the North—The Starving People in Ceorgin-- Cotton Planting, &c. ATLANTA, Ga., April 18, 1867. ‘The Southern Press Association is now holding its un- nual meeting in this city. Representatives from the States are present, though none are here from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucty, or any trans- Mississippi State, except as proxics. It has been agreed to continue the Association another year as an independ- ent organization, but it is expected that the present tel- egraphic arrangements with the New York Association will be continued. To-mght the body has a supper, at which the Governor, who is expected to arrive from Washington, will be an invited guest. At the supper above mentionod it is expected that the Governor will indicate either publicly or privately his own coarse tn regard to the reconstruction of the State under the Sherman act, and it is not unlikely that several of the prominent journals of this and perhaps of other of the Southern or rebel States will shape their course in accordance with the plan and purpose of Governor Jenkins. In case the Governor continues to recommend non-action on the part of the people in the acceptanco of the, Sherman plan of reconstruction, it remains to be eon whether the people of the State will yield their ac- quiesence to his wishes, Several considerations lead me to think they will not. First, there is a society known ax the Loyal league, which has an extensive membership in many of the ap counties of the State (how extensive this members)ii p is no outsider knows), the object of which is to bring the State into the Union with as little delay ax possible. In some of the counties this membership is kaown to con- stitute a majority of the white voters. The influence and numbers of this society is extending itself secretly to an extent which makes it certain that it will be felt in de- termining the State to accept reconstruction at the earliest period, despite the efforts to the contrary of any man or set of men. the money re has ih & united aot not been relieved, toa tho bapes OC sanet witl country, will induce many to accept the SI whose lend. ‘may feel him- that Generat Pope, quarters are now established in this city, self called upof to remove Governor Jenkins from office m consideration of bis opposition to the business which he bas come here to carry throngh. It is to be hoy that he will not; for as the Governor of Georgio bas taken no unlawful steps im opposition to immediete rrs- toration, and bey cme , nay, I may say. certarn- ly, the terme of the Bherman bill will be complied with notwithstanding the opposition, General Pope could win ‘no laureis in addition to those he already wears by remov ing the Chief Executive of this State, 10 ia revered ip Georgia for the purity of his lite, his att ts and bis age. It would produce only distraction in the minds of the peopte of the State, excite ice against the com- mandant himself, and be of no sort of efit in has- toning restoration There is butone thimg which inclines the feovle to adopt Governor Jenkins’ recomreendation. 1 Con- necticut election they believe indicates such # change in public sentiment at the North that hopes have been built ‘con it thet otber States have experienced the same chanve im sentiment, and would do as Connecticut has done if they had the opportunity. Particularly is this felt to be | the case in Pevosyivanta and New York, where the differ- ence in nutober of we radical and democratic parties was: shown to de so small at the laat elections. ‘Yet J cannot think that it is possibile to stay action e Sherman act.

Conservative Mecting. Mr. John Forsyth, of Mobile, is out in a oaed giving his reasons why he did not make his appearance on the platform at the conservative mass meeting held in Mobile on the 19th. He explains that it was from no wish not to identify himself with the objects of the meeting, for, om the contrary, he entirely agreed with them; but it was from a conviction that the meeting would be more successful without hie bodily presence than with it; hence he did not press himself forward. The Mobile Advertiser, Mr. Forsyth being one of its editors, has the following in this connection :— statomonts of Oolonel Foreyth's card it may bo proper cation pn ) bat at least three gentlemen connected with this office heard the name of one of the vice presidents of the late meeting read out ‘as “John ‘H.’ Forsyth,” and that, in answer to the in- quiry gf one of them, the answer was that he was a col- ored man, The name was accordingly published in our report, ‘John H. Forsyth.” Stronger evidence than this of the thorough affiliation between the whites and biacks at that meeting could not very readily be found, Who would have imagined, only a few years ago, that John Forsyth, Pierce's fire- eating, pro-slavery plenipo to Mexico, in 1856, would now, through any sort of political whirligig, be seriously mistaken for one of the “colored population” of Alabama ?
