THE MURDER AT BONN.

_
The Dibats of yesterday, referring to a remark
of the Meadow, that the interview between the
Preach Emperor and the Queen of Spain is an
event calculated to draw closer the bonds between
the two sovereigns and the two countries, says :
"An event that is not calculated to strengthen the
bonds between two sovereigns and two countries is
the murder of our fellow-countryman, one Ott,' as
the Constitutionsiel elegantly calls him, by Count von
Eulenberg,and the extreme mansuetude with which
the Berlin cabinet and its agents proceed against
the perpetrator. Public indignation is strong
throughout France, and is at its height in our t'eo
Ahem= departments, of which the unfortunate M.
Ott was a native. We Natter ourselves, for our
country's sake, that the intelligent sabre out of
Count Eulenberg causes some anxiety at the present
moment to Herr von Bismarck and his colleagues.
They may send away Count Eulenberg to perform
his cavalry exercises in the regiment in which he is
• lieutenant ; this misplaced bravado does not
deceive as respecting their state of mind. How many
times aday must they not sigh and excision, Ah !
if it had only been a Prussian killed ! ' The
real misfortune of Count Eulenberg—that which
may render the Bonn accident liable to be treated
as • crime, even by the King of Prussia's ministers,
even by the lordlings of Brandenburg and Pome-
rania, is that this noble young man ham ill chosen
his victim. Instead of chastising a shopkeeper of
Bonn, • vile elector of Monunsen, who could only
appeal to the Prussian law, and could have hoped
for no other protection than that of the over-preload
judges of Berlin, his nudiscerning sabre has struck
• French citizen, protected by the public law of
Europe and our flag. The blood that • has
been shad will have to be accounted for
to • proud and susceptible nation, which knows
nothing of the privileges of the hussar-lieutenants
of his Majesty the King of Prongs. Justice, we
doubt not, will be done. May the lesson profit
Herr von Bismarck, his colleagues, and his party.
May they conclude from the embarrassment which
the sanguinary freak of Count Eulenberg muses
them, that the mere civilian has not been created
and brought into the world to form • subject of
' amusement foe cavalry officers, and that even had
M. Ott been only a Pruaeian subject, he ought not
'to have been Out down. This, from what we are
told, is a paradox which will appear offensive to the
Prussian staff ormers. The prevailing opinion
among them seta up between sub-lientenants and
mere private citizens • distance of which no idea
can be formed in France, iu England, or in Austria.
Tbegovernment bas hitherto encouraged and exalted
rather than opposed this intolerable prejudice. It
may now see to what such a spirit leads."
