Prince Bismarck’s Definition of the Alsace-Lor- reine Annexation Policy. BERLIN, Nov. 30, 1874, In the Reichstag to-Cay the Alsace-Lorraine Loan bill was taken up and gave rise to s most Interesting debate. The Deputies from Alsace and Lorraine took occasion in the course of the discussion to declare that they were opposed ‘o the high endowment of the University of Strasbourg and to other edu- cational grants for the provinces, because they were made 1n the interest of the Empire and not of the provinces themselves. BISMARCK SPEAKS. This called out Prince Bismarck, who replied &s follow: “The qnestion before us concerns imperial in- terests, It is not a question of Alsace and Lor- Taine, The university 1s for imperial purposes. In @ well fought war, in which we de- fenced our existence, we conquered those provinces for the Empire. 1t was not for Alsace and Lorraine our soldiers shed their blood. We take our stand upon imperial interests, tor which, and not ior the sake of their own ecclesiastical in- terests, we annexed those provinces. We have other grounds for action than those people whose past leads to Paris and whose present leads to Rome. My own views respecting the creation of an Alsace and Lorraine Parliament, which at first were too sanguine, have been modified since I became acquainted with the attitude of the Depu- ties from those provinces. Such a Parliament would lead to continual agitation, and perhaps might endanger the peace of the Em- pire. We shall doubtiess be obliged to take still more rigorous steps in re- gard to school matters there. We cannot permit the exisience of elements which strive to hinder education. My action is guided by imperial interests, 1 shall not be trightened from my course by reproaches, threats or persuasion. Be- fore advance 1s possible we must be convinced of the existence of trustworthy elements. We may expect a better discernment in the rising genera- tion, and must, therefore, see that good schools sre provided tor Alsace and Lorraine.” At the conclusion of the debate the Loan bill was Feferred to « committee.

Probabilities of the Congressional Session Opening December 7. ATTITUDE OF THE DEMOCRATS The Civil Rights Bill Considered as a Bone of Contention. WASHINGTON, Nov, 30, 1874, Interest in the coming session of Congress does Not mani est itself as yet about the capital or hotel corridors, There are not in Washington altogether tuirty members of both Houses, though there is not the slightest doubt of a quorum & week bence when Congress assembles, It matters Uttle how many bills were introduced during the last session, referred, reported and passed by the Senate or the House, The appropriation bills at the coming session will in importance, and as tle Chairman of the senate Appropriation Committee to-day remarked, “I am sure the democratic element in either House will not interpose irivolous debate to prevent their speedy passage; neither is it the intention of the democratic leaders to wasve time in debate.” One thing, however, the present democratic memvers of the House are determined to do, and that is not toallow an opportunity to fasten deficiency bills on the first session of the forty-fourth Congress. The sppropriation bills are so far advanced as to allow @ comierence meeting of the House ana Senate committees to-morrow, and, though 1t will be brief, it will, without donbt, Joreshadow the plan of action during the ensuing three months, Beyond the appropriation bills and the avoirdupois of Senate and Aouse bills, which will only be remembered as fine wrapping paper for pour butter, there is some business which cannot very well be slighted, When the House is rapped to order on Monday next the call of States will have to be gone through with under the Tules, for though it is @ new session it is not a new Congress, and the time between June 23 and December 7, 1874, only goes for | & recess, As usual, alter the roll has been catled, the Senate will be informed that the House has a quorum, and the joint committee of both | houses will wait upon the President to inform him of that fact, The reading of the President’s Mes- sage Will follow, and probably occupy less than an hour. A motion to adjourn will then be io order, and if the number of republican members 1s on the floor that is expected, that motion will be voted down. Yeas and nays on this point will consame over an hour, and if the Speaker's table cannot be reached after the call of the States, or if the call 1s mot gone through with, the following day (Tuesday) will wit- ness an extraordinary scene in the House in the attempt to reach the Speaker's table. The first business there will be a reference ot House bill No. 1,273, returned from the Senate amended. The next, so near the top that the wool can be seen bya spectator in the darkest part of the House, is supposed to be the principal mourner at the late republican funeral, the Civil Rights bill, There itis. Unaer it is an important lobby job for the relief of certain contractors for the construc. tion of steam vessels, and upon which thousands | Of dollars have already been spent. And bill No. 4is to extend the time for completing the St. Croix and Bayfield Railroad, also backed as an important measure by an influential lobby. Trese jobs must be reached, no matter what be- comes of the dominant party, and so the Civil Rights bill will be thrust, if not welcome, upon the | House. The first motion will be to lay the bill upon the table, which, it is expected, will draw ‘the republican fire an jow how many are will- ing to bury the dusky Casar. Should that motion | prevail the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, General Butler, stands on the calendar first in order to move a reconsideration of this motioa, by which the same bill, on January 7 last, was re- | committed to the Judiciary Committee. Toward the end of the first week there will probably be a larger attendance than un the frst or second days of the session, and the chances better for a strong party vote. On the Civil Rignts bill hangs all the accord and discord of the next three months’ legislation. there were at the beginning of the last session when the Civil Rights bill was precipitated upon | the House, and the Sou:hern fire-eaters hurled invectives against the septette of col- oread Congressmen representing South Car- olina, Florida, Alabama = and democrat had a word to say on the subject. Rights bill Prominent Suuthern men, who may be usetul tn the next campaign, are awaiting the removal of their disabilities, and the Senate bills | are pow on the Speaker’s table. Maury, Ander- son, Fauntleroy and T. M. Joves (the name of Smith does not appear), all of Virginia, are near the Civil Rights bill, The Senate bill to provide for che establishment of an International Commis- ot the Maritime Powers, to lay down ocean courses for steam vessels and otherwise to provide for increased safety of sea travel, is underneath the disability bills, The motions passed and mo‘ions to reconsider pending, include some Dbilis which will never be heard from at the next session. Under the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union | comes up a bill for tne relief of owners and pur- chasers of lands sod for direct taxes in the insarrectionary States; also a bill to incor- porate the Southern Transcontinental Railroad | Company, and the bill extending the tme for the completion of a railroad in the State of Louisiana from the Texas State line to'a point on the Mississippi river opposite Vicksburg. After this there are nearly three hundred private Dills, most of which are “doomed” by the short | session. In the Senate the calendar is burdened with a little of everything. The most important matter to be disposed of is the act to amend exist- | fog customs and internal revenue laws, which originated in the House, was amended by the Senate and referred to a Committee of Conlerence | The | Senate adhered to its amendments, striking out | at the closing hours of the session. the privilege of selling leaf tubacco directly to con- sumers to an amount of $100 per annum, the drawback onimported licorice used in the manu- facture of tobacco exported, the tax on all sales of stocks, bonds, gold and silver bullion and other securities, which itis proposed to tax one-twen- Ueth of one per cent per annum, as well asa change in the duty on still wine imported in casks and in bottles; they also held out on the clause on hops, maccaront and vermicelli, and tin in plates or sheets. Finding that the bill was likely to be lost if debate was continued, Senator Sherman moved that further consideration be postponed until the first Monday in December. Under the existing con- dition of things it is doubtful now whether further action will be pressed, Tne House will not recede from its action in rejecting the report of the Con+ ference Committee, and the Senate will stand by its action in amending the House pill, What the genius of the national legisiators may add to an already overburdened calendar the opening of the session alone can demonstrate.

JUDGES IN OPPOSITION. Juages Bond and Hughes, of Virginia, Baise an Important Question Concern- ing the Constitutionality of the En- forcement Acts, Ricnaowp, Nov, 30, 1874. Quite @ sensation was created in legal circies | here to-day by the annosncement that there was | & division between Judge Bond, of the United | States Circuit Court, and Judge Hughes, of the | United States District Court, both of them sitting and hearing the cases of the judges of election | at the Petersburg municipal election, in | May last, and also the three registrars charged | with “preventing and obstructing from voting | divers persons, citizens of the United States, at that election.” The indictments were made | dants filed a demurrer. Upon this a division of the Court arose on the | point that the indictments do not charge that | the persons prevented from voting were 80 prevented on account of race, color or pre- | vious condition of servitude.” Judge Bond | holds that as the motives of men cannot be | looked into or proved, except by their acts, 1t is | sumMcient to charge that citizens of the United | States were prevented from voting, and that the | motive of hostility to race may be inierred from | the act of preventing a colored voter from voting. Judge Hughes takes the ground that, If the elec- tion, instead of being for munictpal oMcers had been for a member of Congress or Presidential electors of the United States, these indictments, | for reasons which need not be set forth, would nave been valid to give jurisdiction to the | Court, and woald bave been 1ounded on those sec- | tions of the Egiorcement acts of Congress which | expressly relate to national elections. On the | over naud, ti the iaictments had charged that | the persons prevented from voung at this | State election were persons of Saxon, Celtic, Mon- | gol, Alrican or other descent, and that the | defendants prevented irom voting on account ol race, then, being founded upon those sections | of the Eniorcement acts, which were designed 1o enforce the Kilteenth Amendment o1 the national | consti‘ution,- they would have given Jurisdiction to this Court because tne Fifteenth Amendment ex- pressly declares that— The rignts of citizens of the United States to vote ahail not be aeniec or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, He conciudes his decision with the opinion that | any law oi Congress 13 unconstitutional which | makes the preventing of a voter f om voting in a | Stare election penal, on any other account than | ol “race, color or of previous condition of ser- vitude,” and that any indictment charging such an offence, though founded upon such a law or | section of alaw of Congress, 13 invalid to give | jurisdiction of such an offence to the Court, THE NAVY. | Report of the Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Stcam Engineering of the Navy Department.

A HERALD reporter called on Mr, Samuel L. M. Barlow last night for the purpose of ascertaining the authenticity ana nature of the injunction just issued by Judge Westbrook, Mr. Wiliam Butler Duncan had just lett Mr. Barlow’s parlor; but Mr. Barlow assured the reporter tuat what he vas about to say was only the substance of what Mr. Duncan would also say were that gentleman presenr, In answer to the question of the HERALD repre- sentative, Mr. Barlow said:— “The object of the injunction, from the tact of its being served so late (eight o’clock P.

The udge who panes the injunction was proba- biy deceived, and did not understand that this damage to the company’s credit was thus sought; but inasmuch as the money due by tie Erie Company for interest was piaced iu London with the agents of the bundnolders more than oue month ago, the o vious intention of parties who obtalued the injunction will sail, as there 1s now ho means leit to the company ot stopping the pay- ment o! this interest aiready provided ior in Lon- doo. The company iurthermore denies every ulle- gation of tbe new aMaavit on which the injunction was granted, and as the motion 1s to be neard on the 24 inst. it is treated by the officers of the com- pany as Oi no consequence, but rather as another effort of Jay Gould to prevent the payment of the sums ior which the compauy has brought an action against him. That is all I have to say, and | believe fir the present it is suMcient."” HERALD RePORTER—Mr. Barlow, am I to under- Stand that tnis Injunction does not interiete with the transaction 01 business by you and your a-- sociates on the Evie, and the Buftalo, New York and Erie railways ? Mr. BaRLoW—It is notintended to interfere with the transaction of our business in the least in this way. It’s object is as I have stated— nothing else.
