Bismark and the Royal Resoript. The Berlin correspondent of the Loudon Times, January 26th, the following account of the debate in the Reichstag seat and coig upied betimes by a curious public eager to witness the incidents of a great debate on a subject which has attracted attention of late, and promises to interest still more, The diplomatic ery was filled, and Prince Albrecht, of Prussia, com- mander of the tenth or Hanoverian army corps, was present to mark the course of a discussion o' 8o much mo ment for the constitutional future of his imperial cousin, the crown prinee. The chief business on the order of the day was the third reading of the budget, and Prof. Hanel—a man of calm, and serious, and judicial mind —at once rose and claimed the right of animadverting on the royal reseript as within the province of such debate, It was true, he said, that the mani festo had been issued by the king of Prassia and countersigned by Prince Bismarck as Prussian minister, but it affected the officials of the whole em- pire. They had often scen of late how the person of the monarch had been dragged by tne leading states- man into their debates, as 1f thus to cover the responsibility of the latter, and this novel move was expressly approved by the recent pronuncia- mento. With all respect for majesty, he deplored the decree infringing their constitutional The true position of the king was pro- tected by love, and the manifesto could only marit. He could not sce any possible jus on for it. The first four points dwelt upon in the rescript were quite correct. They were con- stitutional law, and, being 8o, it fol- lowed that it was unconstitutional to drag the person of the king into de- bates and to appeal to the will of the king, which was nothing more than muking the irresponsible king respon- sible. If the federal council was not pleased with thelimitations demanded by the people, it thereby confessed its displeasure with constitutionalism. Parliament was not only warranted in judging whether the reseript inter- fered with its rights, it was also bound to do so, and it condemned the OMAHA NATIONAL BANK, STEELE, JOHNSON & CO., TOOTLE, MAUL & CO.

If the govorn- ment tried to beat down the barriers which restrained it, that would lead to a crisis which would heave constitutionalism overboard or impair the power of the crown. Passing on, then, to depre- cate as dangerous the practice of putting the monarch too much in the foreground, the speaker applauded the method of exchanging one minis- ter for another, according to the exi- gency of the time, and praised the saying of the king of Bavaria, ‘I will be at peace with my people.’ As for the latter part of the rescript it was maintained that no goyern- ment functionary was entitled in any way to bring his official influence to bear on elections. The whole manifesto was a great danger to the position of the mon- arch both as king and Kaiser. In Prussia love to the king was identi- cal with love for the constitution. “‘Prince Bismark, who had entered the house while Prof. Hanel was speaking, immediately rose to reply. The chancelor was not at all looking so ill as late reports about the state of his health had led one to expect. After some introductory remarks upon his right to speak there as the interpreter of the emperor’s mind, he denied that the rescript aimed at «reating new rights, or at opening the prospect of a new constitutional conflct. The rescript, as its terms clearly showed, did not aim at creating rights, but only at guarding existing ones, and at combatting the notion that the politi- cal traditions of their country had any validity in Prussia apart from its own constitution. Passing on, then, to grapple with the theory embodied in the phrase, ‘Le roi regne mais gou- vorne pas,’ which seemed to be the ideal of progressist orators, and found expression in the excellent work of M. Taine, where the king is represented as a president honoraire appointed by the legislature, the prince scoffed at such political forms as applied to Prussia, which would soon reduce its monarch to the position of a mere major domo, and ridiculed Prof. Mommsen for his con- stitutional folly in his respect. The chancellot then proceeded to discourse upon ministerial responsibility, with the manifesto for his guiding text, in- sisting that the king’s signature, and not that of his minister, was the main thing. The opposite view was only explicable if their reverence for the king wont so far as to place him among the clouds, where no one could detect hie continued existence, That would be reverence such as was offer- ed to the emperor of Japan, the mere exhibition of the soles of whose feet was a certain high annual festival shown to the gapiog multitude through an iron grating. The king of Prussia felt that he must exercise his und.ubt ed right to rerind the country of the actual meaning of the consfitution, which had been lately begun to he misunderstood. According to the tra- ditions of the crown, dating from the days of the Brandenburg electors, the kings of Prussia had revarded it as their duty to be what Frederick the Great called the first servant of the state, Inside the cabinet the king commanded and the ministers obeyed, and if not willing to do so they were free to retire, The real and actual minister-presidont was the king, The constitutional theories of 1849 were still far behind the ideal of Prof, Hanel, and it was a true blessing that the latter had not been realized, Had it been so they would not yet have got Reichstag and been sitting in it. They would huve had no reorganized army, and they would, moreover (reviewing the history of the last thirty years), under "the leadership ot the vice-president of the Prussian chamber 1 1863 have sided with the Polish revolution, Coming to the charge that he commit- ted a base cowardice in numing the king (in connection with his policy), the prince maintained that it was im- possibie for any one to make such an acousation who had read the history of the last twenty years, ‘I have, on <[ at his liberal opponents the contrary, always shielded royalty, 1 have been threatened with oakum picking in a penitentiary and confis cation of ds for doing so, and have been said ( n the service of my master. The false hood of such a report must make the blush of shame mount to your fore heads.’ “Here arose a violeat uproar on the loft, with cries of ‘Not true, which made the augry chancellor stride sver to face and hurl defiance His coun tenance was rod with rage, and his at titudo altogeher formdab) Do you mean to ery me down itlemen! he said with a threateni look ‘Who is the man among u who mado the reproach? A voico—‘No one did so’ The chancellor then said, *Thank God for it,” and went to his seat amid much commotion. He contit It is only a feelin loyalty t keeps me in my pla which for the rest gives mo no ple ure, On the contrary, it would heartily delight me to bid you farewell and see no more of you.' Subsiding then into & ealmer vein, the prince spoke of the imperfect development of parliamentary life and the confus ed relations of parties as an addition- al justification of the principles laid down in the rescript, and he instanced the case of the English parliament under Peel asone which had a decid ed preponderance over the will of the monarch, As soon as they got the length of having such a parlinment they might come to him with their claims. In Germany parliament had a8 yot 10 consistency, and no docided majority, and its voice, therofore must have all the less weight. As for the ge in the manifcsto about the electoral duties of st officials, the emperor had been inducod to pen 1t by way of a reminder to them, in iew of the indisputable fact that at election times, with many publio fune- tionaries, their oath of ullegiance to his majosty began wholly to recede into the backeround. There were two classes of officials, political and non-political, and the manifesto itself was quite clear as to the respec- tive duties of each. The former were bound by their oath to represent the emperor’s policy; but ot the latter nothing whatever was demanded ex- cept that they should make no posi- tive agitation against the government (which would not, from the prince’s remarks, seem to include opposing it by secret votings), and then he de tailed several flagrant cases, both of omission and commission, which had was porfectly justifiedinissuingand for which he was quite prepared and ro- solved to undertake theresponsibility. Vhe prince concluded by saying that he was firmly resolved to serve his majesty in the direction indicated by the royal rescript, but only as his ser- vant, and not as his guardian. speech was greeted with applause on the right, while the left dissented. In reply to Professor Hanel, who ag- gressively denied having reproached the chancellor with cowardice, the letter rose and angrily stuck to his assertion. The previous speaker, he said, had accused him of evad- ing his ministerial responsibility by covering himself with the person of his majesty, and he at least would hold that to be cowardice. He had been long used to such in- sults, but still he would repel them in the most decided way. This final al- tercation was interrupted by cries and commotion and the bell of the presi- dent calling for order. The prince resumed his seat in great excitement, and yanished in anger from the hall before the next speaker had gone far.’ ——— WOMAN'S TRUE FRIEND. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Soveral days ago an_item appeared in the Courier-Journal about hair be- ing turned gray by a sudden tright, and yesterday & well known saloon- keeper in this city met a reporter and remarked: ‘I know of another. in- stance ot hair being ‘urned gray by fright, which is even more remarka- ble than the one mentioned in the puper. About 156 years ago a young man named Henry Richards, who lived at Terre Haute, Ind., was going home oue evening about dark from a visit to & friend, and was walk- ing along the railroad track. Some little distance from town was a very high trestle-work over a creek, there being no planks placed across for walking, 80 that peopls had to go over on the ties. Rickards was walk- ing along at a lively rate, and when he amrived at the bridge he did not ktop to think that a train coming in was then due, but, being in a hurry to get home, he started to walk across on the cross-ties, o had gowten ncarly half-way across the bridge when the train came slipping around a cure at a lively rate.

No time was to be lost, as the train was nearly on the end of the bride. 8o he swung himself un- der the ties, and in a few moments he was hanging on for dear life. The engineer had seen him just before he swung under the bridge, and tried to stop the train, but did more harm than goud, a8 he only su in checking the speed the train, and made it a longor tume in passing over the form ef Richards. As the engine pasecd over, the coals of fire from the ash- pan dropped out, and a number of them dropped on his hands, burning the flesh to the bone, as he could not shake them off, and to let go would have been certain death.

This rather nauseating wonk ness has grown enormously since the the illnesss of Mr. Garfield, when the attention paid the dying man by his wife was magnified into a sort of heroism which must have been ex- ceedingly obnoxious to that sho is indoed the possessor of the ood sense with whichsheis credited. Since the unhappy days of last summer, the sloppy correspondents aforesaid have been compolled to take up loss shining oxamples of womanly devotion, and now the wife and mother who poul- a boil on her husband's neck, or y nurses a child afflicted with the mumps, is at onco heraldod as a martyr, a self-sacrificing eaint, and all such. Idle of this description finds a ready market in some quarters, but it is becoming so commonplace that oven the publications whose political creed is gush must soon bo- come tived of it, tice FAST TIME!
