eR ene and Deticiency bills, will be more than saff- elent to occupy the four days of this Congress that are left, The House has spent four days on the “Omnibus” alone, aud that body has facilities for despatch of business which the Senate doos not possess. It is therefore more than probable that sevoral of the general appropriation bills will have to go over to the next Congress, Amoig the important measures that fail in ithe Senate are the following:—For ocean mail steamship service to Australia and to Europe ; relating to telegraphic communica- ton with foreign countries; for the admission Of Colorado and New Mexico as States; to emove all political disabilities; to establish (the 80th day of May in ench year as a national holiday; to regulate rank in the avy; to enable honorably discharged sol- diers and sailors, their widows and orphan children to acquire homesteads on the public lands; ‘to prevent cruelty to animals in transit py railroad; to regulate the hours of labor of government laborers, workmen and mechanics ; to amend the Bankruptcy act; the McGarra- han claim, and to repeal the test oath, It will thus be seen that the work done at the present Congress falls far short of the work that was cut out, and that failed for want of time. It would seem as if it would become necessary before very long for Gon- gress to remain in perpetual session. Whe Euglish Press on Napolvon’s Lute Pro- clamation. The last mails from Europe brought us the papers containing the criticisms on Napoleon's late proclamation from his captivity in Wil- helmsh'he. Tho opinions are as numerous as in sentiment they are diverse. While the London Times asserts that ‘“‘the first words of the dethroned Emperor’s proclamation con- demn it,” and charges him with surrounding himself with blundering diplomats and inefii- elent marshals, the London Post describes ‘he proclamation as ‘“dignificd in tone and appropriate in matter, under cir- eumstances which render dignity and appropriateness most difficuli of attainment.” The London Daily News considers the pro- clamation to be even more striking than its injustice, and ridicules universal suffrage as understood by Napoleon, and refers in strong language to the twenty years despotism of the captive Emperor. As if to balance this mea- Bure of severity the London 7'elegraph thinks “St is only common justice to recognize the fact that this manifesto, like every other utter- ance of the Emperor since his downfall, is manly, dignified and high spirited.” And so they go—a cut from one, while another sup- plies the salve to heal the wound inflicted by the blow. Alas, poor Louis! Inrortant Cares or Super Wooprurr.— Yesterday, at the opening of the term of the United States Circuit Court, Judge Woodraff delivered to the Grand Jury an important charge, in which he referred in forcible terms to three distinct classes of offences— Mmamely, the ill-treitment of sailors on board ship on the high seas, frauds upon the internal revenue, and counterieitiug the national cur- rency. With respect to the latter the Judge very truly observed that it is a violation of the Jaw which bears with peculiar severity upon the poor and uneducated portion of the com- munity, who are not gifted with skill enough to detect the fraud. As regards cruel treat- ment by captains and officers of vessels to sea- faring :aen, what Judge Woodruff has said upoa this subject will be read with interest at the present time, especially as our courts are now occupied wilh investigations touching charges which, if proved to be true, would exhibit captains and mates as men of the most malignant and inbuman disposition, The remarks of the Judge will be found in full in our law report.

By the negotiations Germany gains all the points she has contended for. She retains Metz and the German army enters Paris, She receives from the French a war indemnity of nominally two milliards of thalers a late hour to-night. THE CEDID TERRITORY. Except that Metz has been ceded we are stil) igno- rant of how large a part of Lorraine has been wrested from the French. But it is certain that all of Alsace, with the exception of Belfort, and, we suppose, & narrow strip of territory, has been ceded. Alsace is at present divided into two departments— Both are thickly populated, Bas Rhin, by the last census, contained 688,970 inhabitants, and Haut Rhin- 530,285. Along the Rhine the people speak the Ger- man language, in the cities and towns French ts generally spoken, and in the mountains the patois of Lorraine is usually employed. Haut Rbin has more the appearance of German territory than Bas Rhin. The people have retained the characteristics of their forefathers to a greater extent; their habits. and customs are German, although politically all the people are intensely French. By the cession of these two departments France loses valuable territory. Strategically the loss is immense. It places the Vosges Mountain and all its ($1,540,000,000), but actually of not more 4 passes iuto the hands of the Germans, and deprives than one and a quarter milliard of thalers ($900,000, 000). THE OONDITION OF FRANOE. When the official report of the conditions agreed upon by Thiers, Favre and Bismarck was submitted to the Consultative Commis- sion of the National Assembly, the actual condition of France—political, financial, com- mercial and military—materially sided M. Thiers in achieving his momentous task, -His France of a natural line of defence, which was none the less valuavle because 1t failed to ald her tn the present war. Commercially the loss is also great. Alsace is full of manufactarmg towns, whose pros- perity was principally due to the fostering care of the French government. In 1800 the total population of Bas Rhian was only 138,782; in seventy years it imereased 400 per cent. Strasbourg, with tts 90,000 inhabitants, is fall of enormous foundries and extensive manu- factories. But, above all, Strasbourg must be con- sidered as a grand strategic point. It was, next to Metz, the greatest fortress In France. While dhe French held it the German lines of communication were unsafe.

The war indemnity {is fixed at five milliards of francs, for the payment of which three years’ time is granted, the Germans to hold the fortresses until it is paid. The armistice is prolonged a week.

Thiers offered on the part of France another milliard of thalers to be allowed to keep Metz, but that Count Bismarck refused the offer, OFFER TO SWAP, The London Telegraph of to-day has a de- spatch from Versailles of the 26th, which says M. Thiers proposed the purchase of Luxem- bourg by France and to transfer it to Germany if Motz were restored to France. | BISMAROK'S CRUEL TERMS, | The Journal des Débats, of Paris, com- | ments on the cruel terms of peace imposed on ' France, and says Thiers and Favre were | several times on the point of breaking off negotiations at the risk of the resumption of | hostilities, and yielded only to dire necessity, have been The Bismarck at first demanded an indemnity of ten milliards of francs, and it was reduced to the sum finally agreed upon only by the most strenuous exertions, FOREIGN INTERVENTION, The Cologne Gazette says the signature of Haut Rhin is more a manufacturing than an ag- ricultural department. Its principal vwne are Col- mar, with 25,000 inhabitants, Sainte-Marte-aux- Mines, 15,000; Muthouse, 60,000; Ribeanville, 8,000, &c, Both Colmar and Siulhouse are noted for their manafacteres of cotton and fron, Here is, orrather was, in a measure, the Birmingham and Manchester of France, The various kinds of cloths made iu Haut Rin are famiitar to all Americans, as they are yearly imported in immense quantities into the United States. It will thus be seen that m every respect the loss of Alsace inflicts a severe biow upon France. Orig. inally mhabited by the Gauls, the province was con- quered by the Allemands, who settled in and ruled it, until they were almost annihilated by the Huns. In 496, atter the victory of Tolltae, the Franks ex- tended their territory te the lett bank of the Rhine, sweeping i all of Alsace. Afier the death of Clovis the two Alsaces were united into one duchy and were included in the kingdom of Austra:ia unlil the death of Childehet, im 843, when the treaty of Verdun detached the duchy from the Frankish monarchy and joined it to Lorraine under -the heirs of Louts le Débonnaire; but subsequent to his death, im 870, the territory was attached to the empive of Germany, It ought to be born in mind that until this time the inhabl- tants of Alsace were Frauks, and liad becn such for over four hundred years. The claim, then, that Alsace was always German, is a palpable it ‘was originally Gallic, then German, then Frankish and again German, until recovered by the descend- ants of the Gauls and Franks—the French. Under the Germanic empire the territory was gov erned by the Dukes of Suaba and Alsace, who were dependents of the Emperor. In 1268 the province was divided into two laudgravates, one of which was called Hante Alsace, which now forms the Department of Haut Rhin, and the other Basse Alsace, now Bas-Rhin. The recovery of both by France can be told ina few words. Haute-Alsace passed by succession into the Honse of Rapsburg, and in 1648 was, by the Treaty of Munster, ceded to France, with ali the rights of the Emperor over the two landgravates. All the franchises of electors of the imperial cities, however, were guaranteed. Louis XIV. violated this latter clause in the treaty; but Germany was not able to resist Le Grande Monarque, hence he had — things pretty much his own way. Io 1601 the King took Strasbourg by surprise, although the Treaty of Westphalia nad left the city ndepen- dent. In 1697 the violence and had faith of Louis was legalized by the formal recognition of his } Riswick. Alsace embraced the eause of the first French Re- volution with great ardor and enthusiasm, Her peopie had by that time become a thoroughly Frenen that they were regarded the most loyal and patrictio of all the French pcopic. And to this day their de- yotion to France has been the same, ‘That their alien. ation will be bitterly regretied 1s undeniable, It will require generations to make them loyal to Germany. The principles of “liberty, equality and trateruity”’ are deeply engraven in their hearts, and from the Hohenzollern Emperor they can expect no recogni- tion of them.

An effort was made by a magistrate to save the life of the poor fellow. Tho magistrate, however, could do nothing. He was threatened with similar treatment and was finally obliged to fly for his life. ASSAILING GERMANY.
