Tiik No Prtiitciri.K Tahtt. The intelli
gent portion of Democrats no longer profess
to bo governed by principle. Their creed
now it, "Any man nr Anything to beat
Grant," the samo Or Ant they wished to adopt
as their candidate less than two years since.
When our Democratic United States Sena
tor, Mr. Buckalew, read Blair's letter, bid
ding for the Vice Presidency, in which he
favored a new rebellion, ho denounced him
and his doctrine, declaring that he would
not be sustained by the Democrats. This is
true. No true Democrat of the Jefferson
school will do so. They are nearly all now
known as Republic-fins, with the samo name
and the samo principles the supporters of
Jefferson sustained when he was their can
didate. Seymour and Blair aro the candi
dates of the rebel wing of the Democracy,
and every true Democrat, North and South,
knows it and fuels it.
The New Rebellion. It is now well
settled that Congress will not adjourn final
ly, but take a recess to September or Octo
ber. Tho announcement by Senator Hen
dricks, that the President intended to aid
in getting up a new rebellion, for the pur
pose of nullifying the laws of Congress, has
changed tho viows of the majority who fa
vored adjournment. Tho same policy is
now pursued by the nullifiers of 180S, to
nullify the laws of Congress as waspursucd by
Calhoun and his followers in 1633, when
Gen. Jackson headed off that rebellion, by
threatening to "hong Calhoun as high as
Ilaman" if he took another step in that di
rection. Unfortunately we have no Jackson
for President, but ictteatl, one who pardons
and encourages tho traitors.
Gen. Simon Bcckner, now an editor at
Louisville, Ky., and who commanded Fort
Donalson when it surrendered to Grant's
forces, says ho don't admire Gen. Grant.
Grant's terms were "unconditional surren
der," which Buckner considered ungentle
manly, when applied to those whom the
Democratic platform courteously styles as
"a gallant and determined foo." Buckner
was certainly excusable, and so were many
other delegates to tho Democratic Conven
tion, North and South, for not admiring
Grant. But is it the spirit of true chivalry t
Certainly not 1
TnE Heat. In Baltimore, on the 14th
inst., the thermometer in the American office
stood at 108. Tho cases of sunstroke in
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, num
bered 425, from the 13th to the 20th inst.
Tho average temperature at New York, from
tho 1st to the 17th, was 87. During the
samo time in 18G6, it was something over 8G.
In 18G7, tho thermometer did not reach 00.
These heated terms seldom last over threo
or four days, and seldom occur more than
onco in a season. The probability is that
tho season of extreme heat, this year, is
among tho things of tho past.
CofTuo dealers and coffee-pot makers should
take notice of tho promise made by Mr.
Woodward in behalf of Pennsylvania in tho
hte Convention. IIo pledged the State for
Seymour and Frank Blair by 20,000 major
ity. This would seem to indicato an ira.
mouse manufacture between this and No
vember next of spurious naturalization pa
pers, every one of which, to give it tho re
quisite sere and yellow appearance, must be
dipped in a decoction of the fragrant berry.
Gentlemen desirous of contracting for the
supply of coffee by the bag and of coffee-pots
by the gross should address Mr. Woodward
J at once, or open negotiations with the Dem
ocratic State Committee.
The tax bill has been signed and is now
a law. The whiskey tax has been reduced
from (3 00 to 50 cents per gallon. If this
is paid tho government will get double the
amount of rcvcnue.butthe President's "whis
key ring" will bo ruined and dispersed, and
the.greatest electioneering fund, ever known,
will collapse and vanish. The people will
no longer pay a premium lot roguery.
August Parker, of Roxbury, Mass., has
picked and sold forty-eight hundred boxes

A TEXT EXPOUNDED.
The rollowleg is what the demooatie
party in their platform, first of all, demand :
"First. Ioitnedlat restoration of all the tats
to their right in th Union under the Constitution,
and ofoivil govemsnont lo the American people.
It sounds well ; but beforo approving it,
there are reasons for wishing to know ex
actly what is meant by each of its general
terms. What, in the democratio view, is
"reconstruction t" What are the "rights of
the states t" What do they understand by
"civil government t"
For, while tho democratic party la New
York were making this plattorm and de
manding "immcdiato rcstorstion," the dem
ocratic party in Congress were working
unanimously to defeat tho bill for restoring
the rebel states. It is clear, therefore, that
they do not moan by "restoration" tho same
thing that the pccplo mean by it.
The difficulty seems to bo satisfactorily
met by the comments of tho democratic
leaders. The kind of restoration they de
maud is thus described by Frank P. Ulair,
their candidate lor Vice President, in the
Utter which be wrote for the Convention;
"Wo niuit have a President who will exeouto the
will of tho neoiilo by trampling into duat tho ustir-
patioa of Congress, known as the reconstruction
acta."
But how to get a President who will dis
perse and overthrow Congress, is a previous
question. This is answered by Mr. Wade
Hampton, who declared at tho ratification
meeting in this city, on Thursday last, that
his party must soi.e tho polls in the South,
and have the white vote cast alone. He de
clared :
'I want you all lo register an oath that when they
do voto their vote tliall do counted, and if there it a
majority of whito vote, that you will place Soy
n our and Blair in the White House in ipiteofall
tho bayonets thatthall be brought against thctn."
Of course he means that the mob thus to
bo raised shall decido who has "a majority
of white votes 1"
But this language was evidently carefully
adapted to the latitudo and to the some
what sensitive cars of Governor Seymour's
"friends." Mob law has its charms for them ;
but they do not like secession. But when
the delegates get to Richmond they tell the
peonlo more plainly what they mean.
Thus Ex Confederate Governor Vanco, of
North Carolina, there said "ho could talk
mora familiarly of the wrongs of tho South
here than at tho North." Accordingly, he
declared'himself still "a rebel," and argued
at length that "what the Confederacy fought
for would be won by the election of Sey
mour and Blair."
Indeed, in the Richmond atmosphere
there is a disposition to simplify the canvass
to this one issue Seymour and the rebel
lion against Grant and the Union. Thus
Ex-Governor Wise, in his eloquent way,
reasonod that since tho candidates were ac
ceptable to the rebels, tho platform was of
no account at all.
"lie did not care for tho platform. It told a lie
in its first resolution. It said ttctstion mat dead ;
that was not to ; aeret.n'on was mare ativt than
ever. IIo supported the nominees, and especially
Blair, because no had declared that he would as
sume military power."
Now Mr. Buckalew, Senator from Penn
sylvanin, rashly denounces Mr. Ulair and
his letter, and protests that tho democratic
Imrty does not, and cannot, mean to sustain
lira, and to make war against tho southern
stato governments and against Congress.
Mr. Buckalew it wrong. He stands entire
ly alone, and must either retract all this,
and adopt Blair and anarchy, os leave his
P!?' . ... . ...
Tliat party Ueliourateiy oppose the wuoic
process of legal reconstruction. Tbey de
mand "immediate restoration" instead. Mr.
Blnir alone points out a means of accom
plishing this, and so makes tho platform
practical. Ho did it in a letter which pre
sented this as bis claim to a nomination,
and tho party nominated him at onco. His
interpretation of its doctriucs is sustained,'
clearly and emphatically, in New York, in
the presence of tho Convention itself, and
by democratic speakers llirouguout tne
country.
Hot is tuo democratic piatiorm itseu
without a very plain declaration on this
Eoint ; or, at loast, one that seems meant to
o plain, tho style of tho whole document
being so loose, ungrammatical and extrava
gant that there are few sentences in it which
are really intelligible throughout. It de
clares :
"we regard the reconstruction acta (so-called) of
Congress, as such, as usurpation and unconstitution
al, revolutionary and void."
Now, the phrase, "acts, so called, of Con
gress, ns such," may mean much or littlo.
Perhaps the writer wanted to bint that the
body now acting "as such" is not really a
Congress, sinco those bright lights of demo
cracy J. Davis, Toombs and Ithett have
left it. But however this may be, there is
no doubt that the sentenco is a direct ap
proval of Mr. Blair's letter.
If the acts by which Congress has recon
structed tho southern states arc "unconsti
tutional, revolutionary and void," it is sure
ly not the duty of the President to obey and
enforce them. What can ho do but "dis
perse" the state governments, and "trample
under foot" Congress itself, as Mr. Blair
declares it has the purpose to do ?
If there be any men of pcaco among the
democrats, like Mr. Buckalew any men of
thought or of patriotism who are not ready
to fight for the confederacy under a changed
name the party will doubtless quietly let
them leave it, rather than abate one jot of
its revolutionary doctrine. JV. Y. Keening
Pott, July 16.
We munt Work to Wist.
Republicans everywhere says tho Pitts,
should understand that, bright as the pros
pect is, tbey must work to win. There is
no poison so fatal to a party as over coufl
deuoe. Now is the time for the Republi
cans to appeal to their Democratic friends
and neighbors. Those truths now admit
ted by all honest men of the other party
should not be allowed to be forgotten : and
every Democrat should be asked to contrast
his candidates and platform with those of
the Republicans.
But more than this. The Republicans
owo much to themselves. J hey should
perfect and extend their organization, by
formiug clubs and committees, and by Ret
ting ready their lists of voters, including
the Democrats and doubtful.
Tho inquiries of their State) committee
should be promptly auswered.
This Grant campaign must not be con
ducted by large meetings, but by neighbor
hood gatherings, where the best orators
should be invited to speak. Immense sums
of money are wasted in these grand mass
assemblies, and nobody is converted.
The best documents to circulate are the
Republican newspapers. Long speeches and
heavy essays are only read by the few, while
the able Republican paper, fresh, newsy,
and full of point, iustructs and enlivens at
the same time.
Reutembor, Republicans, you must work
to win. The rebel Democracy will soon
recover from their despair ; and, like the
legions of Lee, after Meade defeated them
at Gettysburg, in 1863, will re-organize for
one last onset of revenge.
It would be satisfactory to know just
now many members ot tuo JNew lorn con
vention served ia the rebel army. A New
York paper says they represent every grade
of the rebel service, from the drum-major to
the full general. In fact, the South is prin
cipally represented by tho men who, in oue
capacity or another, were the most promi
nent rebels during the war. And most of

7h Officer tif the Northern Central and
renntyhania Railroad Equal to any Emtr-
genfy. Owing to the destruction of five
spans of that magnificent structure, the
Pennsylvania R. R. bridge, nt Rockville. on
the Susquehanna river, on Friday morning,
it was iound necessary (in order to carry on
tho immense freight and passenger tratlio on
the Pennsylvania railroad without interrup
tion) to use the splendid and substantial
bridgo of the N. C. R. R. Co., which con
nects with the railway of the Pennsylvania
company both at Dauphin and at Murysvilte,
on the Perry county side of the river. To
the furtherance of this object, Mr. Edmund
L. Du Barry, the excellent and energetic
Superintendent of the 8usquehanna Division
Northern Central Raiiwav, placed every fa
cility and available moans in hit power at
iiie disposal ot tuo rcnnsyivntila railroad in
order that tho numerous train would meet
with no unnecessary dlny between Marys
ville and Ifarrisburj?. Ten watchmen have
been placed on the Dauphin bridge an ad
ditional telegraph operator, J. H. Uiley, Esq.,
of Baltimore, Md., has been sent thither,
and Capt. Georgo W. Hambrlght, one of the
Northern Central Railway Company's popu
lar, practical and efficient conductors, has
been ordered to Danphin (or Marysville) as
general dispatcher. In the Harrisburg office,
Messrs. Donnelly and Shearer, have been
assiduous to their duties, and Capt. Henry
Boycr and Jos. 1C. Sharp, the day and night
train masters, have managed their arduous
duties admirably, with dispatch and promp
titudo. We doubt whether a more efficient
corps of officers than those under the juris
diction o( J. N. Du lUrry, Esq., General
Superintendent of the Northern Central, can
be found anywhere on the American conti
nent. fiVfatHo following report: In the
twenty-four hours since tho burning of the
Rockvillo bridge, up to 5 o'clock this A. r.,
the following trains passed over the North
ern Central Company's bridgo at Dauphin:
Between 0:19 a. nr. (Friday) and 5:15 a. m.
(Suturdsy), 15 P. R. R. passenger trains,
and 49 P. R. R. freight trains passed over
N. C. R. W. bridge between Dauphin and
Marysville, whilo all the regular trains on
that road passed over tho samo bridge du

It is rumored and we see no reason to
doubt the report that Herman J. Lombaert,
Esq., tho well-known and excellent engineer
of tho Pennsylvania railroad, has ordered
five spans of the wood work (already fram
ed), intended for the bridge nt Columbia,
Pa., to Rockville ; so that in a very short
tiino the damage will be repaired, and the
immense freight and passenger business will
go on unobstructed in a very short time. To
such masterly minds tho traveling and com
mercial interests of the country are greatly
indebted. The repairing; of the damage
sustaiued by tho Pennsylvania railroad,
therefore, will be but the work of a very few
days, as au immense force of carpenters and
laborers have already gone to Rockvillo, to
assist in the reconstruction of the damaged
portion ot the magnificent bridge. Wo must
not omit to mention that the entire force un
der Col. Samuel A. Black, Esq., Superinten
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad at this
place,have been busily employed in their vari
ous capacities, and (ail of them) acting with
promptitudo and alacrity, assisted material
ly, and getting the hands off "on tiino," for
which, no doubt (as they deserve it), they
will receive the universal good will aud
praise of the vast travelling community.
During the 24 hours, ending on Saturday
night, about 100 trains, embracing freights
ana passeugers oi tne jm. u. and 1'. 11. II.,
were dispatched with the utmost alacrity
across tho Dauphin bridge, from the Perry
ry to the Dauphin county side of the river.

I'ROU WASIIIXUTO.II.
Wasiiinotos, July 21. The most approv
ed opinion with reference to tho adjourn
ment of Congress now is that it will take
place about Friday or Saturday.
Senators Sherman, and Morrill, of Maine,
who as chairman of the Finance and Appro
priation Committees, are conservant with
the condition of business, think it will be
on Friday.
Mr. Sherman has not tho expectation of
guuing iuo luncung lull through this session,
and though it may go into a Conference
Committee, there is small prospect that the
IIo iuo and Senate will agree.
Very unexpectedly the Senate passed a
military bill last evening. Its general char
acter is the same as that referred to some
time ago, except that it reduces the force
to 80,000 men. It kept tho Senate in ses
sion till midnight.
The opposition was mainly to the section
authorizing the distribution of arms to tho
States to the amountofone thousaud Spring
field rifles to the militia of each Congression
al district. The Democrats fought th ia. he
llcving it calculated to put the means of
cieiense into tue bands ot the negroes and
mencw state authorities in the South.
This section may possibly bo taken out and
passed as a joint resolution, but thcro is not
any prospect that the House will agreo upon
a general bill readjusting the army estab
lishment. Wa&iiinoton, July 23. The probabilities
of the final defeat of the funding bill are
cuiismerauiy increasing.
It does not look as if Congress would ad
journ before Saturday. The Radical South
ern members and Senators are urcimr Con
gress not to adjourn, but to take a recess
until October. The members from the
Western and Middle States think that course
bad policy, and it is extremely doubtful if
congress win consent to anything but the
regular adjournment.
It is very probable that the President
will sign the tax bill.
Thad. Stevens says in private what he
has said in public. He regards the New
York platform and nominations as far in
ferior to the Chicago platform aud nomina
lions, and thinks there is no possible chance
for Democrats to carry the elections next
an.
An exchange says : "Our member of Con
gress is a smart sort of a chap, and is doing
bimsulf credit. He has already got off two
speeches prepared for him, ground seven of
the district axes, leathered his nest freely,
and promised to marry the prettiest widow

NATIONAL INTERESTS ENDANGERED.
Washington, July 81. Quite an excite
ment sprang up this afternoon when the
Senato came out of Executive Session, and
the question to fix unon tho timo far an i.
journment came up, when Mr. Hendricks,
nafelrtni. tr.m . 1. - T" ! T . . '
i'""1"!! " reaiuoni, announced in a
semi-official manner, the determination not
to submit to th election of Grant by colored
rotes, and a determination not to rccogniw
tho new Southern governments, or to act
upon the new military bill at present if sent
to him.
This aroused Mr. Wilson, who made ono
of tho most eloquent replies heevnr made in
the Senate. He was followed by Mr. John
Sherman in a passionate manner, who por
trayed tho outrages daily being perpetrated
in the South, and stated that if Mr. Hen
dricks did speak by the authority of the
President, Congress could not adjourn now,
and ho would not now press his motion. If
we, soid Mr. Wilson, have in tho seven re
constructed States an honest election, I ex
pect every one of them to voto the Republi
can ticket, and Governor Wise had said he
would vote for the Democratic candidates,
not because he liked the platform, but be
cause Blair promised, if placed in power, to
overthrow the reconstructed States. Now,
the way to preserve the public peace is to
uphold law and order, and this is all that is
intended by the bill. He was auiaced that
any man should rise up in opposition to it.
Mr. Wilson then referred to tho New Or
leans and other riots, and asked who it was
that had striven to provoke collisions be
tween the white and black races. There
was not a repentant traitor in that conven
tion ; not a man who was not as much a
traitor as when he was warring in behalf of
the rebellion in the Southern States. The
Senator from Indiana had said Republicans
had pardoned traitors. This was true; but
those whom they had pardoned showed their
repentance by their daily lives and conver
sation. Tho Democratio party was the au
thor of the rebellion. Every drop of blood
shed in the war was owing to that organiza
tion. Every soldier who was wounded owes
his misfortune to the opposition of the
Democratio party to liberty.
Mr. Conness also attacked him, and in
conclusion said :
I take it for granted that the speech was
deliberately made, and for political reasons.
It is plain to me the messages that we have
bcon receiving from the President of the
United States for the last two weeks, and
those proclamations which he has issued,
are of such a character ns to justify this con
clusion. They are incendiary; they are
violative of his public duty ; they are a
scandal, in my judgment before the civilized
world, and, sir, in place of discussing the
question of adjournment, at this time,.they
would justify rather the impeachment of
that official by the other House of Congress,
and bis triat by this, and his expulsion from
tho place that ho tills.
Sir, it is not long since he escaped convic
tion and cxpulbion from that place by the
merest chance in tho world. The character
of his conduct in connection with these pro
clamations ; tho character of the communi
cations that have come from the first minis
ter of his cabinet; the character of tho politi
cal convention that he has joined his intereft
with; its utterances ; tho class of men who
compose it ; tho letter of one of the candi
dates of that party, and the emanation of
that convention threatening rebellion again
in this country, all justify what I say, and it
will become, in all probability, tho' duty of
Congress to stay here until they shall be
able by their action to ganrantce peace to
this nation.
I say to the Senator from Indiana, for one,
that tho threats ho has made here I would
meet upon the threshold. I.tt any party dis
satisfied with the result of a popular election
in this country again, as they were dissa
tisfied when Mr. Lincoln was first elected,
renew rebellion, and that rebellion will bo
met in the samo manner in which we met
the last. The Honorable Senator, in discus
sing the utterances of General Grant, in ac
cepting the national nomination for the
Presidency, quoted him as saying, "Let us
have peace. 'rVe all ro echo thnt sentiment,
and sny. "Let us have peaco." We want
peace. We ask and beg and plead for peaco.
But we can have peace only upon condition
of obedience to law. But the President of
the United States, who is amenablo to law,
sets the example here by his communica
tions and utterances of disorder in the coun
try ; and, in my humble judgment, if wo
shall adjourn and leave the capitol, it will
not be long before we shnll have disorder
re-established in the country. I hope, air,
that wo shall siriously consider the pro
position, and I am glad that tho question
of adjournment is, at least, temporarily
brought up.

Dean Richmond was never an admirer of
Mr. Seymour. At the Democratic National
Convention of 1860, at Charleston, while the
committees weie employed and tho members
wanted to fill up the time.it was determined
to have a speech from the bluff old New
Yorker. A messenger came to him with
the message that ho was desired to come in
and speak. Dean mouthed a hugo execra
tion, and then refused : "If I speuk I shall
say something which will come up again.
Call on Seymour; he cau talk without saying
anything."
It is said that the democratic platform
was made for tho taxpayers, and the Dom
inations for the bondholders.
Wildcats are said to have become more
plentiful than ever in Connecticut. The
platform of the democratic party proposes
to nse them to pay off the national debt.
The Zanesville Courier offers a reward for
a democrat in Muskingum county, Ohio,
who has yet given a hurrah for the Tammany

Seymour is said to have obtaiued the
democratic nomination by declining it, and
Judge Chase to have lost it by seeking it
The "New Gospel of Peace" has this
allusion to Mr. Seymour :
"And now of the Pahdecs he was called
Seymour, because lie could say more and
mean less than any other man living."
A western paper says ; "Mr. Seymour is
said to be strong with the democratic party;
due uniucany i ne party is not strong who
him."
The Cincinnati railroads had a warm com
petition for the contract of carrying the
"Pendleton Escort" to New York. Tho
narrow-gauge roads obtained it; immediate
ly after the nomination, the managers of the
broad gauge route telegraphed to Mr. Pen
dleton, offering to furoisb ambulance cars
to bring back his party.
It is proposed in the bill before Congress
in relation to the Alabama claims, to give
the President large discretionary powers.
A western paper approves of the idea, say
ing ; "He needs to have discretionary pow
ers give him by somebody, as he never had
any of bit own."
The Pendleton Escort gets many hard
shots in tho newspapers. One paper re
ports that the remnant of it returned home

Seymour obtained the Democratic nom

The fact that the soldiers in 1864 gave
121,041 votes for Abraham Lincoln, and
only 85,050 for McClellan, may give some
idea of how the same soldiers will be likely
to vote this year.
Tha PhiladtljnMa Pre says the Democrats
have taken care to nominate a candidate
for President who was in favor of tho last
rebellion against the Government, and a
candidate for Vice-President who has pledg

against the Government.
Tho morning after the nomination of Sey
mour and Blair by the New-York Conven
tion, a scamp tied crape to the door of Chief
Justice Chaso's residence, which, before, it
was removed, caused some uneasinsss among
tho friends of that gentleman until it Was
understood to have only a political signi

unterrified thereabout fired a salute in honor
of the event, and pointed the cannon toward
the North, whereat a Grant man standing
near quietly observed that they were "firing
the samo way they did during the war."
About a year ago Horatio Seymour, in a
speech at Albany, recited the following
woll-known paradox. It had not escaped
his memory at the time of the New-York
convention, but Tilden and Church prevent
ed him from rushing on the stage and re
peating it after all the States had declared
for him as the nominee for President :
"I can and I can't,
I will and I won't.
I'll bed d if I do,
And I'll be d d If I don
Ioa rtot Admire II Ins.
Tho Louisville Courier (Democratic) says
that the country has been given a very ex
aggerated idea of Grant's military capacity ;
that his genius is really of an inferior order,
and that his achievements during the war
wore those of a lucky blunderer rather than
that of a great captain.
The Louisville Courier is edited by Gener
al Buckner Simon Boliver Buckner who
having been denied the privilege of enforc
ing Democratic ideas with the sword, fol
lows tho example of his colleagues, Forrest
of Fort Pillow and Quantrell of Lawrenco,
in emphasizing them with the pen. If Si
mon's pen is not "mightier" than his sword,
it must be a very worthless weapon.
A reason for Simon's opinion of Grant
may be found in a bit of history. Simon
had command of a certain rebel work known
as Fort Donclson. Grant invested and held
it complettly. Simon wanted to go homo.
Grant wouldn't let him. Simon asked up
on what terms he might get out of the box.
Grant told him that the terms wero "uncon
ditional surrender." Simon declared that
as a Southerner and a chevalier he could
not consent to that. Grant then wrote : "I
proposo to movo immediately upon ynnr
works." Simon read tho letter, and, like
Captain Scott's coon, camo down. But the
incident led him to form a very poor opin
ion of Grant. We saw Simon when ho pas
sed through Albany on his way to Boston
harbor, and wc concluded then that he had
no admiration for Grant, ne probably
found at the Democratic Convention many
who agree with him ; and for the time- rea
sons. Albany Journal.

The Berlin correspondent of tho Boston
Journal says of the great Prussian Minister:
"lie is moro the King than the King.
More hats como off when ho rides 'Uotur
den Linden, than when the Russian turnout
above desciibcd appears. Tho Prussians
have had good evidenco of his abilities, and
nDpreciate them. Whilo the King is plan
mng the arrangement of the leg stripes for
his soldiers, the great Count is negotiating
with the powers that be, and always for the
good of Prussia. Ho lives in a plain row of
buildings on Williams street, with a thick
shaded garden of lime trees in the rear, in
which ho often walks to obtain relaxation
from the cares of over work. Look into any
shop window in Brrlin and thcro is his
photograph. His name is heard at tho ho
tels and in tho cafes. There arc Bismarck
gloves, Bismarck collars, Bismarck rifles and
Bismarck ices. If any question of state
romes up the newspapers wait for Bismarck
to give an opinion. It is said that he cares
very littlo for tho King, but the King cares
much for Bismarck.
"At the present writing tho great states
man snd diplomat is ill at his house, and
has not been in the streets for several days.
It is claimed that he has applied himself
too closely to his dutira and needs relaxa
tion. Inquiries as to his health come over
the wires hourly from Paris."
