War is ogain threatened—war involving Bussia, Italy, Austria, Germany and France, Prince Bismarck is 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 fractiousness he is ever seeking battle with the gigantic shadows of a sick brain. THE CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE. The aggressive attitude of Prussia was doubtless the real, though not the ostensible, eause 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- against Prussia. Such a plan, if formed, will prove as powerless for the purposes of aggression as was the confederation against the stubborn- mess of Frederick the Great, which broke like angry waves against the rocky coast. THE WAR POWER OF GERMANY. Germany could crumple the armies of France, still unorganized, as she did at Forbach and Gravelotte ; 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 unable for many centu- ties to send to the battle field soldiers to match the Northman. If France, Austria and Italy should, together, attack Prussia, their troops would fall like corn before the sickle. They would be outmancuvred, outengineered and blown to the winds by the Prussian artillery. RUSSIA AS AN ELEMENT OF THE COMBINATION. Russia is invincible for purposes of defence, but has never succeeded in putting a firm 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 the undisciplined Asiatics, THE CZAR CANNOT JOIN AN ANTI-PRUSSIAN ALLIANCE. Whatsoever panic-stricken journalists may imagine, the Ozar will never join cordially any attack against the only upstanding autoc- racy resembling and excusing his own. BISMARCK’S VAIN IDEA. It is quite possible that Bismarck and other Prussian statesmen, secure in their own limits, may fancy they have the ability to deal in high-handed style with the rest of Europe, and so insist that other States shall conform to their policy against the Roman Catho- lics on pain of 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 seoms an injudicions choice, thongh made with a noticeable appearance of can- tion, and exhibiting its imprudence the more glaringly that it was done boldly, without communicating with the Powers guarantecing Belgian independence. 18 ENGLAND A GREAT EUROPEAN POWER? But the attack on Belgium is perhaps only ® weasure 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, MUST FIGHT FOR BELGIUM. Great Britain, however, is bound to fight NEW YORK H®RALD; TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1875—QUADRUPLE SHEET, THE LOUISIANA PROBLEM, ) THE STATE CAPITAL for Belgium, bound by treaty; and the na- tional sentiment of the whole people would render war inevitable if the provocation were given. THE LESSON OF THE PAST TO GERMANY. But 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 1s 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-hearted and humane. He is unwilling to sully the close of a glorious reign by wanton blood- shed, and, perchance, defeat. All desire to rest on their laurels. THE CROWN PRINCE. The German heir apparent is a phlegmatic, tranquil gentleman, with small taste for sol- | “ THE ORLEANS PRINCES.

THE RAINBOW OF 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. PREMIER DISRAELI ON THE PRUSSO-RELGIAN CRISIS. Loypoy, 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 sovereign and would not fear to meet Parliament.” PONTIFICAL APPREHENSION OF A PRUSSIAN AB- SORPTION OF THE ENTIRE GERMAN WNA- TIONALITY. Pants, April 12, 1875. I’ Union says the Pope has made represent- ations through the Patriarch of Venice to the Emperor of Austria that the position of the Church is becoming more and more intolera- ble and that ifthe 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. FRANZ JOSEPH'S REPLY. The Emperor replying to this, through the Austrian Ambassador at Rome, deplores the struggle between Oburch and State and ad- vises prudence.

NEASINESS IN NEW ORLEANS Malcontents of Both Parties Opposing the Adjustment. New ORLEANS, April 12, 1875. General Sheridan has been anxiously consulted by leading politicians here, of both sides and all factions, about the compromise in the Legisia- ture, Irreconcilables on both sides have tried to make head against the adjustment, but the mod- erate men so far control. PINCHBACK AND WEST AS EVIL SPIRITS. Among the conservatives there is no difiiculty, those opposing adjustment having been overruled. Among the republicans Pinchback and Senator West have tried to make trouble, and are still using their induence among memoers as they ar” Tive to defeat the adjustment, They have visited General Sheridan, but itis reported that he told them platnly that the Wheeler plan nad the sup- port of the republicans in Congress and of all good men in the North, and that tf it was not accepted and carried out in good faith on Wednesday he Would pack up his trunk and leave the State, This suggestion, it is sald, brought even Pinch- back toa halt. THE SOREHEAD OPPOSITION, It is known that Hann is opposed to the adjust- ment, and he, as Speaker of the House, may at- tempt to obstruct the measure, It 1s charged also that Marshal Packard !s opposed toit. Some republican members of the House also oppose it, in the hope of having sundry jobs allowed as the price of their support. Governor Kellogg strongly favors the measure, and has the support of the best men of bo!h parties, DISGUST AMONG THE CONSERVATIVES, The impracticable men on the conservative side are disgusted, and some talk of uniting witn West and Pinchback hereafter. Leonard, of Shreveport, is here and strongly favors the compromise. He says he 1s for & peace- able settlement. HOPE FOR THE COMPROMISE, 1t is believed, this evening, that the adjustment will be completed without delay on Wednesday, but some uneasiness was felt to-day because of a reported remark of Wheeler concerning the status of ive members admitted by the Hahn Legisia- ture, The Legislature will sit only ten days, ana pass no political bills, Several financial reform } measures bave been prepared and will probably pass. =, THE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE.

ALBANY, April 12, 1875, The early train (rom New York brought a rush of Politicians here to-day and we are likely to have lively proceedings for the balance of the session. The immediate point of defence and attack seems now to be the “Green charter.” A scare has evi- dently taken hold of the Tammany magnates on this sabject. A strong lopby has been organized to defeat the bill. The train leaving New York. at hal!-past ten o'clock on Monday morning always brings up the New York delegation and irfends, The first truin starts at eight o'clock and arrives in Albany at one, On board of the latter, com/ortably ensconced in one com- partment, were John Kelly, General F, B, Spinola, Mr. E.

Boyd. !t is un- derstood in Albany that these gentlemen come as @ thoroughly equipped lobby to defeat the Husted- Miller-Green combination, They travelled in tne early train abead of the boys, so as to escape particular notice and arrange preliminaries belore the main army of patriots arrived on the scene &t a later hour of the day.
