ALSACE AND LORRAINE. liitTV l'rnnce t'nniF lo Hold Thrui Kxtcni. toinlHiioo. l'.te. II lit on , If, as is now probable, tbe Frcnch-Gcrin in war should soon end in a complete victory of (iciwany, the regulation of tbej frontier be tween France and Germany will be the foro niofct question of the day. We have jiIh ndy given a full account of the nationality I of tbe people inhabiting the two border pro vinces of AIkuco and Lorraine, showing that even to this diiy nearly the whole of Alsace, with a population of about 1,100,000 inhabi tants, and a considerable portion of Lorraine belong to the German nationality. A Mill better understanding of this now diplo matic question will be obtained if we briefly refer to tbe time when these two provinces were anatched away by Frauce from Germany. Up to the year Kits Francs bad, in consequence of former encroachments of German territory, annexed a German population of about 1,000. J5y the peace of WfcHtpbalia France, which in the religious war of ;0 years supported the same Protes tants who were so cruelly persecuted at homo against the Catholic Government of Austria find its Catholic allies, obtained a number of Austrian possessions, with a population of 227,000 inhabitants. At the close of the fceventeenth century Louis XIV instituted so called Chamber? of Ueunion, which were to examine which districts within the bounds of the ttermnn Empire had at any previous period been under French juris diction; and the districts thus singled out, together with 2'M,000 inhabit ants, were at once seized nud incorporated with France, while about at tbo same time tbe "republic of Strasburg and tho Bishop of Ktr&hburg placed another tract of land with about 22,0()) inhabitants under tho protec tion of France. In the course of the eigh teenth century Franco annexed the Duchy of Lorraine with about 178,000 inhabitants, and several dominions of German princos iu Alsace and Lorraine. Finally the republic ' of Muhlhouse and a number of districts be longing to several German princes, with a territory now numbering 200,000 inhabitants, were united with France in aud after the year 17!0. Until the Revolution of 170 but little effort had been made to substitute the use of the French for that of the German language. The present idea of compact nationalities, co-extensive with the boundaries of the seve ral countries, was then almost unknown. Germans remained unmolested in the use of their language, as the French subjects of several German princes in Alsace and Lor raine had always enjoyed full liberty in using their idiom. But from tiie time of tho Revo lution the French Government has been in cessant in its efforts to make the German population of Alsace and Lorraine a homo geneous element of tho French Empire, and, by the gradual introduction of the French language into churches, Bchools, courts, and all other public relatious, to extirpate the last remnants of the German nationality of the inhabitants. The results of these efforts have, thus far, not been con siderable. Even to this day, there are a large number of communities where French is un known. The number of churchos and schools in which German is still used exclusively is very considerable, and in nearly the whole territory which since 181s his been torn from Germany, the German language is even to this day the predominant language. This territory of the German language embraced, in 1 80 1, in Alsace a population of 1,007,477 inhabitants out of a total population of 1,093,370, and in three departments of Lor raine (Moselle, Meunhe, and Vonges) a German population of 3.l,G81 in a total population of 1, )), 585. Thus France has in its eastern provinces German speaking districts with a population of 1,3 !),1.8. Besides these Ger mans, France has in the two departments of Pas de Calais and Nord a population speaking Flemish, the dialect of Belgian Germans, numbering together 341,917 inhabitants, who I added to the above number give an aggregate ; German population of l,7ol,17.". Of these about 200,000 are supposed to have more or less lost their nationality, and, with regard to their language, have become more French than German ; leaving about 1,500,000 inhabi tants who, as far as their language is con cerned, are even to this day Germans. The French districts which at any one time since the organization of the French and German Empires have for a longer or shorter time been subject to German rule, have all been restored to Fraace. Kg Ger man State contains at present any districts which have a French-speaking population. - The only exception to this rule is the Prus sian Rhine province which ia the Ileglerungx besirk of Aix-la-Chapelle has a few small and scattered communities, together with about 10,000 inhabitants, whose native language is French. In view of such a state of things one should have expected that if the frontier which the Congress of Vienna established between France and Germany bad given dissatisfac tion to one of the two nations, it would be tbe Germans, not the French, who had a right lo complain. Rut in reality the con trary was the case. Germany disunited has not uttered, from 1815 to IS 70, one single official word indicating a claim to Alsace and Lorraine, nor is there any reason for sup posing that, if the French had shown a desire to live in peace with the Germans, any Ger man party would ever have allowed a war against France for the purpose of recovering Alsace and Lorraine. Rut in France, the national pride, relying on the political impotence of Germany, wus not satisfied with the 1,500,000 German in habitants, but a strong party, with the ap parent approval of the majority of the prcs and the people, have not ceased since ls.' to clamor for the conquest or annexation of more German territory. The treaty of was declared infamous, because it did not extend the frontier of France to the Ithiue. Tbe Rhine, as the natural frontier of France, has ever since 1815 been the leading princi ple of the foreign policy of Franc. It has iSU axJyQJftted by the Jv&dii'g LtWHpapfci-Hj K'.bool-boob, in historical and geograpbid work, in novels; it ha been oponly advo cated by the greatest statesmen of France, like Thiers, who reproaches Louis Napjloon, not for seeking to extend the French frontier, but for beginning the war before being suf ficiently prepared. pf late, Louis Napoleon was the first to re cognize the nationality principle as one which has a right to be recognized iu tho in ternational politics of Europe. He encou raged tbe Italian people when they claimed the right to expel all their princes save one, and to make all tbe Italian-speaking territory into one nation, lie went further, and advo cated a reconstruction of the map of Europe on the basis of this principle. The lirst nation that wished to avail itsdlf of the application of this "principle was the German. They demanded a consolidation of all the German States into one German empire.' No inch of French territory was demanded; only for tho territory known as German union was to be substituted for disunion. The first at tempts to establish this union were signal failures, but the final go.il was steadily kopt in view. Jf Louis Napoleon had been in ear nest in fianctoning tho nationality principle, he could not have withheld his syupathy from the national movements iu iermauy. His actual policy toward Germany has been the direct reverse of his professed principles. More than any Government since IS 15, he has many times tried to lire tho French heart by denouncing the "imamous treaties of 1815, and by intimating tho neaosiity ot a change of the French German .frontier. Every international complication in which Germany was involved has been used by him as a lit occasion to obtain, by moans of dip lomatic strategy, a now slice of Gernvm territory, whilo the Paris papers which were his Knecial organs openly declared that France would never be satisfied with tier eastern frontier until who would bo allowed to annex all the German territory west of the Rhine. This territory embraces' tho larger portion of the Prussian Rhine province, the whole of the Bavarian palatinate, of tho pro vince of Rhine-Hesse, belongiug to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, nud of tho prin cipality of Birkenfeld, belonging lo the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, a ten-ivory containing a population of nearly four million inhabitants, of whom, as mentioned before, only 10,00 ) epeak the French language. That even the annexation of this territory to France would not satisfy tho thirst of the great nation for glory and mi3 hind has, utter many former . proofs, beau irrefutably established by tho socrot treaty proposed in Berlin by Bencdotti, whose au thenticity now, when millions of photo graphed copies of the famous doaumouls, iu M. Benetlelti's oan handwriting, have boon circulated, will no longer be denied by any historian. Belgium aud Luxemburg have of late been as much tbe aim of French auibi Hon as the German territory west of tho Rhine, and if Prussia had been short-si ghteil enough lo believe the assurances of Napoleon and allowed him to absorb Belgium and Lux emburg, he would have, for the present, so lemnly abjured all aggressive intentions against German territory. Those two coun tries together contain a population of about 4,980,000 inhabitants, of whom fully 2,'!ti0, 000, or a majority, are Germans. Thus Franco, which at this day contains a Gemiuu-ppeakiug population of 1,500,000, has harbored the outspoken design to con quer new Geriwan territory with a population of over six millions. If Napoleon had been successful in this war, he would not have failed to carry out, at Jeast in part, tho tradi tional policy of France, and annexed at least a part of German territory. Germany, even if compelled to make a cession of territory to France, would never have abandoned tho hope of soon recoveiing it. Thus a chauge of the frontier in favor of Franco would have been the germ of another despcrnte war be tween the two nations. ' It is now generally expected that the Ger mans, if victorious, will demand back a part or the whole of the territory which still is in habited by a German-speaking people. Whether this is the wisest course they might pursue under the circumstances may be dis puted; but no one, in view of the facts abovo enumerated, will dare to maintain that any territorial change the Germans may -make will be so glaringly unjust as the ouo which the war party in France has been demanding ever since 1815. The following table gives the number of Germans in the Rhiuc and Belgian pro vinces: M ciirtheand Vcs- pes I.uuburg Luxemburg Jlepse Moselle I'ologno fohlenty. , I'nper Rhine Lower Uhine. . Treves W.

I The St. J-ouls ! iHOcrai finds that Randolph county, Missouri, "once so thoroughly Demo cratic, is in a fair way to be transformed to a positive and strong radical county, min1y by the lame influx of Northern men in portions of the count-,'." Tho Democrats of the Fourth Massachusetts district talk of nominating Henry W. IVioe for Congress. Tho Fourth is one of tho Koton (llrtriets, and is represented by Samuel Hooper, who was e'ectcd In 180S by a majority of nearly three theuand. The Republican party has a more thorough and cillcient organi.atlon'ln Iowa than perhaps In any other Stnte. It has never lost a State election since tho party was organized, and it canlc.8 every Congressional district, and out of ouc hundred counties all but six. Its usual ma jority in the iStato is about 40,000. and will not fall much below that li 'iiro this year.

Senator Pprajrjie was recently summoned before a Washington justice by a Professor Groux to answer to a claim for for printing various political essays and speeches.
