of such calamity. Both are heroes and mar
tyrs and prophets-both colne here To tell Of
their country's woes, and To evoke 'materlal
and operative sympathy" in their counlry's
behalf-both believe that they are able to con
vince Americans that their past foreign policy
has been governed by blunder- both are in
iinitely better republicans, in their own con
ceit, than WAsHINGroN or JEFFERsoN--and, To
complete the simlitude, both are now engaged
IN stately pigrimages, pleading for subscriptions
to certain loans. Their missions and the
modes of action, their plans, their pleas, all
precisely similar. And yet, strange to say
they have no liking for each other-no ADM
ration of each others sagacity, or prudence, or
patrlotsm--nO confidence in each others
plans. KINKEL likes not KossUTH. nor Kos
sUTH KINKEL. The Governor of Hungary
puts no trust in the missionary of Germany,
and is treated with an equal lack of tondness
or regard. Whether life behind the scenes
has taught them that they are respectively
unworthy of the plaud,s bestowed upon them,
or whether they are unwittingly Influenced by
the jealousy which identity of pursuits is vul-
carly understood to engender, only the initia-
ted can determine. We can but look on and
wonder, regretting these manifestations of
frailty on the part of men whose admirers
have "hedged them in" with more divinity
than doth beset king" and anticipating fur
ther exposures and explosions Of the most
startling kind.
1t is asserted that KINKEL' 3 tour in the West
and South has been eminently successful in
commercial sense. His countrymen have every
where given him substantial welcome-not
limiting their enthusiasm to suppers or sere-
nades, but taking stock largely in the ''German
National Loan" They are satisfied with the
kINKEL certificates, however other people may
regard them, and the fund is consequently
furnishing amazingly.
Amongst the places most recently visited by
KINXEL has been New Orleans, and the papers
of that city agree in representing his reception
as highly flattering. The Delta indirectly vim
dcates the consistency of the Crescent city by
assaling the conduct of New York, which
adores in KossUTH what it despised in Lo-
PEZ. The Delta's friends were for crusade
to Cuba, and therefore-it argues in effect
they are warranted in supporting intervention
IN German affairs. The feeling evidently ex-
tends beyond the walls of the Della establish
ment; for we notice that at the public meeting
called to honor the Teutonic visitor, the pre-
lminary "three cheers for kINKEL" were fol
lowed by "three cheers for LOPEZ" the re-
porter carefully noting that the latter were
given Sin the most enthusiastic manner" Ad-
mlration of the dead is thus rendered auxiliary
to the service Of the living. If KINKEL allows
himself and his cause to be measured by the
LoPEz standard, why may not kossUTH2 The
Governor has doubtless heard of the past eff
cacy of the ''three k's"-"C california, Canada
and Cuba"-as an electioneerng cry, and he
may contemplate new version, adapted to the
day. "CUBA, kINKEL, and kossUTH," will
form a glorious trio to stimulate the enthu-
sasm of a southwestern populaee.
In his speech on the occasion which called
forth all the cheering, kIEKEL started with
disclaimer of the idea Of committing this coun-
try to the policy of Intervention, and-quietly
hitting kossUTH-he added ''no foreigner has
a right to force any private views Of his upon
the American people" BY and by the Ger
man orator forgot his own disavowsl, and went
for fighting after this fashion:
'He would go further, and coy that the time was
not far distant when more active aid than that
which be petiuoned would be volunteered-when
tho stars and stripes would beside the banner

tunity."
Subsequently, addressing the "Order of the
Lone Star" he said with equal emphasis
EVENT. are rapidly Fastening which will com
pei the United States TO change their policy. and
be propsgandists as well AZ lovers and supporters
Of freedom and republicanism."
kossUTH has not expressed his idea more
distinctly than this; all he pleads for is here
enunciated; and yet, as we have said, KossUrH
liketh not kISHrL.
Why We are not OWNERS into the motives
Of men, TO discover the hidden causes of sntip-
athes between patriots and erles, but we can
not close our eyes TO this fact-that kUEHEL's

may be that one confines his addresses to Ger
mans, while the other relies on the notion that
the independence Of Hungary is essential to
the freedom Of the world. One relies on love
Of the fatherland; the other takes refuge 10

The kiSrEL party are, then, far ahead IN
matters of finance Their loan is authorize
lively reported to count millions already, while
the kossUTH loan, if we mistake not, is still
on the wrong side Of fifty thousand. To give
the latter the slightest chance, the former must
be decrled and deprecated The task is del
icate one-too delicate for KossUTH 10 grapple
with in the light of day. His special organ,
the New York Times, is therefore put upon
the track, and all the lesser lights are follow
