GERMAN POLITICS.
Confusion In search Of Unit


We are still living as we can, In provisional
order or rather disorder, of things IN general which
daily grows more iutolerable Ia fact, all the al
fairs Of Germany have got into such Perplexity
that nothing duer than The sword OF Alexander
can cut this gordisn knot Of ours But where an
Alexandria n be found not soul IS able to tell
The King of Prussia cherishes the notion that ne
Is I'd T. such an undertaking but he will md IL mighty
hard to accomplish and in the present crisis nothing
else seems possible for than with sad hearts 10 Ola
the hope Of German Unity adeu, rather al reror-
Germany is now furnished with two Imperial Con
siiiuions on paper-perhaps even three for many oil
our Governments still hold fast 20 that OF lsl9i-one
which received the finishing touch from the represen-
tstives OF the people Frankfort, March p. lei9
and which does not meet the views OF the Princes
one made at Berlin May p last part OF which does
not meet the views Of the People. And even this ber'
lin fabrication which by the way contains most OF the
provisions OF the Frankfort document but not the es-
,euta ones has yet received the assent Of but three
states Of these Ssxony has assented with the pro-
viso that its Legislature shall raty the act thing
which will hardly be brought about Bayar took

scheme which they brought forth because, as the ba
varian Minister Won Pfordlcn, said in the Chamber a.
Munich il liable al the objections which that pow
or had 10 make against the work OF the National Assem-
bly. The points which are the same Tn both docu-
ments are the Central Authority Head Of the I'm
prc the exclusion OF Austria, the laws regulating IN
dustry the tax on articles Of consumption. But a.
coming to an agreement these points with the Ma
tional Assembly is longer possible, Bavaria stands
ready 20 20 into Assembly 70 be chosen accord
ing % the electoral law proposed at Berlin Tor the pur
pose Of trying sgain at Constitution making Ih- us
cord among the Governments is clear evidence of
their incspacty by any effort among themselves TO
give Consti, tuition 70 Germany and shows that such
work could only be done by the National Assembly
But lust as We have large stock Of Constitutions
among which each party sticks TO this that accord
ing TO 10 conven euce Germany s IN possession OF
number of Central Governments Thus, for example
We have that Of June p $40 which still maintains It's
xiser.e in the ewes OF the different state authorities
but which the resolutions passed in the National Assem-
by ON May u and June e. last formally put out OF be-
ing Moreover the party exercising this Central power

treaties from Prussia 10 over his Office into the
hands OF that power and as II this were not enough
the Vicar OF the Empire has iust received notice that
Prussia will take under her control the conduct
of the war and the negotiations with Denmark and that
her ambassador ia London and the Commanderin-
Chief in scheswig IOstcn has received Instructions

Prussia having thu. failed in this effort to get posses
son OF the provisional Central Authority, next goes
about 70 another on the basis Of the Berlin Con
sututon This new Government - to have Il. seat at
Erfurt in the execution Of this little scheme there is,
however, the old difficulty, namely the settlement
OF the position which the several states snail hold 10 the

poiuted By election in the Assembly, 10 which body
