Tboclerical leader of the commission of the German Kelchstag, Herr Ludwig Wind Wind herst, will net support l'rlnce Bismarck's scheme as regards the amended army bill. In government circles llttle conQdence Is felt an te tbe passage of the bill and there are Indications that Prince Bismarck Is open te a compromise. It Is universally believed that he would accept an amend ment Urn illnic tbe operations of tbe bill te five years, but he will certainly reject any proposal for a term of threo years. Herr Wlndberst's manipulations In the Kelchstag have oflen been the occasion of the chancel lor's wrath. Herr Windhorst says that the Kelchstag will make no concessions beyond what the commission rocemmonds. even It it were menaced with a coup d'etat. Ilerr Lud wlg Windhorst, the parliamentary leader of the Catholic party in Prussia, was born Jan uary 17, 1312. He attended tbe "Caroll "Carell num " in Osnalbruck, and continued his studies at Uettlugen and Heidelberg. He became au advocate, and then syndle and presiding member of the consistory at Osnal bruck ; he afterwards became ober-appolla-tlnnsrath in Kalbs, and from 1S03 te 1J.35 he was minister of Jus tice at Hanover, finally being nom nem nom Inated and installed as chief syndle or the orewn In Kalbe. Frem the years including 1819 te 1600 he was a member or the assem bly or the estates or the realm, and In 1831 president el the Bocend chamber et the same. Herr Windhorst next became a member of the Constituent and the regular Kelchstag ; and since 1S07 he has been a member et the Prussian Heuse ei Deputies. A persenal de scriptlen or Uerr Windhorst says "he is puny lu size, almost deformed, ugly as Secrates, he Is au antagonist bofero whose wit the boldest deputies tremble and under whose assaults even the great chancellor loses bis coolness and self-command. As a tactician he Is unsurpassed. Startling as the chief et a small and prescribed faction, he bes built it up te be the most numerous party In the Ueute, and, holding the balance of pewer, wields It with a skill unequalled in thf I Kelch stag. Khert, crisp pungeut retorts are Indeed his chief arms of controversy."
