Lonpon, April 95 180 A. M, The Berlin Post, a ministerial journal, has Wading article, saying:— “Recent events, unfortunately, render it too probable that the present French Assembly, fear ing there will be @ republican majority in the next Assembly disposed to peace, are snxious to precipitate a war of revenge under the dangerous auspices of Marshal MacMahon and the Orleans princes, while the strong body or royalist deputies will be placed in a@ position to profit by the restoration of monarchy. War accordingly is coming on, although the clouds gathering on the horizon may yet be Uspersed. The Austrian conservatives are en- Acayoring to oust Andrassy from the Cabinet with the view of participating in coming events, The greater part of the upper classes in Italy are teady to jom any ally against Germany, considering her anti-Papal attitude hostile to Italian interests, Yet it is by no means certain that France will be able to procure an Austro-Italian alliance just now. If ber endeavors fail the war will probably be de- layed, But things reach a pass when the German people should be better acquainted with the realities of the sitnation. It is time toawaken the slumberers."” THE PUBLIC MIND BECOMING ALARMED, The Berlin correspondent of the London Times Bays this article is likely to bave @ strong effect, end alarming rumors are rife, THE QUESTION OF THE PAPACY.

Detachments Expected to Reinforce Them. QUIET APPARENTLY RESTORED. The Sons ot Toil Defamed and Misrepresented. Governor Hartranft in a Deter- mined Mood. Hazetor, April 8, 1875. ‘The soldiers aro here. They arrived last even- ing a little before midnight. It would be hard to say which was tno larger, the crowd that bade them goodby at Philadephia or the crowd that sentup a deafening shout as they arrived in Hazleton, Your correspondent came with tne first regiment of National Grays, Colonet Benson commanding, but to get on the train he was obliged to don the military cap, overcoat and pantaloons and become a soldier. An immenso soncourse greeted us at the depot, There must have been at least between four and five thousand men, women and children, al! standing eagerly expect- ant and surprised, and so crowding the leading thoroughiares from curb to curb 'hatit was al- most impossible for the soldiers to pass. The ne, marching down the prin- cipal street, filed into Hazle Hall, where the men spent the night, the officers having their headquarters at the Central Hotel. This morning Lieutenant Olark, with five companies under his command, left the armory, and, after marching 81x miles, established his headquarters at Jeddo, @ central point, and one adjacent to the principal mines and breakers, This afternoon several other military companies arrived who, in different quarters of the city, are now awaiting orders, Eight companies of the Ninth regiment Pennsyl- vania volunteers are on hand, along with the Wyoming artillery, the battery of the latter being made up of four heavy guns. The soldiers who this morning went out in such a solid and com- pact phalanx, who, with fife and dram marched between two lines of citizens as closely connected as themselves, are now acattered everywhere among the breakers, and companions in arms thus separated may not see each other, their homes or families, for weeks and months to come, THE DISTRICT PATROLLED. Wherever there isa breaker there are men to guardit. You need only goto the chamney from which the smoke curls in order to find the mull. tary. You can’t take a step outside this littie provincial district without passing a dozen men in uniform, or without eventualiy coming in con- ‘act with a corporalor an orderly or some one in authority, who will not let you proceed further without the proper credentials, Any one who saw the Southern towns during the war can form & pretty accurate idea of the appearance of Hazle- ton to-night. Armed men parade the thorough. fares, officers move here and there in the public bulldings, horses, bridied and saddied, stand champing their bits before all the hotels, and it ts @ matter of grave doubt where there is another districtin the country so brusque and bristiing with force and authority as this quaint provincial town justnow, Ana what is this con- fusion jor? Why are the men who compose the military thus torn irom their homes, estranged from their families, and, at an hour’s notice, Whirled from the metropolis to the provinces ? And why, on the other hand, bave the citizens of this district been thrown into this burning fever heat, which clogs every industrial interest of the city, which virtually closes the pablic schools and institutes martial law in one of the most secinded, and, under ordinary circumstances, one of the most orderly sections of the State ? MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. It may seem as if your correspondent were taking an extremely radical standpoint when be that all tbis flourish nas been to interrupt an imaginary disturb. ance and to quell an outbreak which no combination of circumstances could possibly bring about. Indeed the appearance of armed men here !s calculated to create a condition of af- fairs precisely similar to that the State seems so anxious to prevent, and to excite to deeds of vio- lence and wrong a people who, had the military | | remained away, Would have been the last in the world to require its presence, These men, whom the mi‘itary are now here to Overawe, struck some time ago because the oper- ators would not pay them during the year 1875 as much as they had paid them during the year 1874, | All the mines, at least the greater part of them, | were accordingly vacated, the breakers were de- | serted and the men began a jong strike. The oper- ator and the man, like two antagonists in the prize ring, stood face to face strong, resoiute, determined and bent upon holding out until one or the other was utteriy and absolutely subdued. Then the men, afer beariug their part in the hercolean fight in orderly silence for a long time, a few days ago instituted a parade. It was inter- fered with, a row ensued and the operators did ll in their power to exaggerate a petty grievance and magnify it before the public to such an extent that it entirely misrepresented the men and placed them in the most unfavorable light before the highest authorities of the State. Tne men had no business, 18 they themselves confess, to insti- tute the parade, but on the otber hand the operat. ors are not justified in pursuing the course that | they have persisted io ever since that parede took place. TYRANNY OF THE OPERATORS. The strike, from witch all these troubles, real and imaginary, proceed, was precipitated on tae men jor a purpose. It 5 to cut down the wages of the miner, without giving the consumer any | reduction im the price of ms coal per ton. The men resisted and still tresist, It is true that they have sont threatening letters to toose few who were at the breakers working tne pumps; and it is also true that they appeared in groups to intimidate those who did not recognize the Workimfrmen’s Union; but had the police done their work faithfuily, or had the 160 men ordered here aday or two ago not turned cowards and Tun away, the neighborhood could have taken care of tiself, independent of all these troops at present scattered over the country. NO VIOLENCE PRECONCERTED, J belleve that had the miners intended violence, had they been pent upon a row, or had they ae- cided to throw this section into confusion and uproar, they would long ugo have put the toren to évery breaker on the neighboring hilis and burned to a crisp allthat makes this viemity of import- This woulda nave been the exact course they would have pursued had they meant to be uproarious, and then the military powers of the State would, with pro- priety, have been called upon. But no sueh con- dition of affairs exists, nor has existed, Two thousand miners stood in the streets of Hazleton fa the sob came and went, and not one of them gave an imsuiting utterance or made the slightest hostile cemonstration. AN INEPPICIENT SUERIPY. week pe order and tranquillity No arrests have been made; no murders have been cominitted; no depredations engaged in, and yet, fu this peacoful order of affairs, the Governor of the State turns over his authority for ordering troops to the Sheriff of the county, and the Sherlif of the county, without persoually visiting this netghvorhood, without even venturing anywhere near the region, calls the military hither, end here they come, carload after carioad, tu defend they Know mot what, to protect a class of poopie who are not now and Who jor Weeks past havo not been in the least ers For ove have ¢: | held to-morrow evening. | mitely settied at tuat meeting. anger. In vain did the merchants and citizens generally protest. The soldiers were ordered to their city, and are now marching up and dowa before their homes, Without the slightest preju- dice one way or the other, your correspondent cannot help believing that the summoning of the militery to a district in which they have no right to be encamped is a bold and desperate strike on the part of the operators, py which they hope to intimidate the miners and compel them to accede to their terms. NO MILITARY INTERFERENCE REQUIRED, At the time of this writing all is very quiet, but the miners, whose position the presence of the military so grossly misrepresents, may, from this circumstance, be urged into rash and incon- siderate action, and thus, as I said before, a con- dition of society may be brought about like thas presumed to exist before the troops arrived, but which really has no end, because it never had a beginning, OFFICERS ON DUTY. The following officers are here on duty at the headquarters :— Major General E, S. Osborne, of the Third div sion, in command of forces. Staff oficers present :—Oolonel N. P.

There are a number of important ptaces fixed upon as requiring to be guarded, Teaching out over many miles of territory, and while the number of troops for any emergency at any central location may ve ade- quate, yet a concerted action of the strikers upon many places open to attack would leave some places exposed to the fury of amob; and it is ex- pected that additional troops will be. ordered to this place to-day. ANOTHER RAIDING PARTY—MORE TROUBLE RE- PORTED IN THE WYOMING REGION, HAZLETON, Pa., April 8, 1875. Arading party passed through Mount Pleasant last night, but did no damage. Pistols were fired and citizens called upon to turn down their lights. The party proceeded on to Humboldt, but it is believed no violence was attempted there. Several companies of soldiers bave been de- to various points in tne vicinity where their presence is considered hecessary jor the protection ot lie and property, More troops arrived to-day, and tnere are now about 1,200 soldiers in Hazleton and the several mining towns near it.

ORTHOGRAPHICAL MANIFESTATION BY A LITERARY AND SOCIAL UNION. The Literary and Social Union of the South Bap- tist Church, as its ame indicates, Is a body organ- ized for social and literary purposes, and is in the babit of holding semt-monthiy meetings in the lecture room Jor social and literary exercises, If Teport be true, these meetings have contributed much to the benefit of the persons comprising the society and the entertainment of their irienus, The members mostly belong to the Sabbath school and have heretofore manifested no greater share of eccentricity tnan usually appertains to soci- ety at large. But as no class of the community is iree from the moral and intellectual more than {rom the physical contagions which occasionally sweep througn the land, the Literary and Socjal Union of the South Baptist Church re- cently became affected by the prevailing mania, which took saape at its regular meeting, held last evening, inaspelling match, A large audience gathered in the main body of the church edifice, the nave and galleries being comiortably filed, the latter mostly by small boys, who seemed affected vy a flendish glee at the prospect of see- ing their elders and betters underguing the tor- tures to which they are daily subjected.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Daly’s “Big Bonanza’ drew a crowded house last night at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and it te bound to carry the season through on a financtai fresnet, Max Maretzek introduces at the Academy of Muste this evening @ brand new opera, Flotow’a latest work, “L’Ombra,” with @ number of real American artists. 1t will be a very interesting occasion, and will prove whether tne highest form ofoperacan be successfully attempted by native artists, Brignoli has had quite @ flattering success the season with Mapleson’s Itallan Opera Company through the English provinees. An Eainborgt eriticism of March 8 thus speaks of the favorite tenor in “Il Barbiere:’—Signor Brignolt was 4 thoroughly refined representative, vocally and dramatically; ofCount Almaviva. Hts reading of the florid passages in the serenade leit nothing t@ be desired, and he was the; gentieman even when disguised as the drunk soldier.” Miss Morrison Fiset had @ benefit concert last evening at the/Terrace Garden Theatre, in which she was assisted by Miss Lina Luckbardat, pianist; Miss Forster, contralto; Mr. Fritsep, tenor; Mr. Sohst, baritone; Mr. Richter, violinist; Mr. Alfred Pease and a vocal quartet called the “Symphonia."?

Davenport, and sister of the fascinating Fauny Davenport, has madea decided nit in opera in Italy. A Turin paper thus speaks of her déout as Violetta in “La Travi+ ata’ :—Her seductive feavures, her elegant bear ing, the musical periectness and ireshness of her voice and her intensely dramatic executron,” and in conclusion the critic wriles :—"La blanche hag conquered the loftiest alficulties, and we predict for her a splendid future.” There will be a very pleasing ‘dramatic enten tainment this evening iu the Brookiyn Academy of Music. Itis forthe benefit of St Mary's Llospi- tal, a Catholic institution, which, though not old, hasachieved much good. There will, doubtiess, be an immense audience inattendance.
