FOREIGN IMPRESSION OF THE KosTzA AFFAIR.
An American gentleman at Heidelberg, who
has made Germany his residence for several
years, and is competent to speak of the state of
opinion among the different classes in that coun-
try, on any question Of public importance,
writes thus to his friend in the United States.
"You may be assured, the Koszta affair has
advanced US a quarter of century in foreign
opinion. dare say it never occurred to the
good people at home, that rows Of German IA
ces, at a tavern-table, would be frightened at
reading the news of Ingraham's conduct But
almost every man here. who is not either direct
ly under the influence of the authorities, is well
pleased when absoluism meets check. Mr..
Marcy's paper was proper sequel to lngra-
hams action it was at once free from offences,
and strong in well grounded conclusions. The
civilians here regard it as in the main point at
least, sound exposition ofinternational law al
though at the first account they were disposed
to think he had shown more energy than dis
elimination in the proceeding"

The elections.

WE give our readers this Week as much intelligence
on The subject of our State Elections as We have been
able TO gather 1t will he seen, among other ihinsS'
that our immediate frllnw.cilizen, Hon T. D BROOKS
has been elected Congress- over his oppofen'' Gen.
DARLINGTON, by 3Oo5 votes. This is quite com
plimenlary majority.
The most actively canvasscd contest in the State
has been that for the Senate, in Richand district
Col. JouS s. PRESTON achieved the victory al last
So far as we can learn there has been little or no
excitement except at ono two points. Nor does II
appear that any political issue has had much Influence
at the pulls In few districts the question OF giving
the election of Presidential Electors to ie re"pie was
mootrd but, unless it were in RichIand and a"FehS'
we doubt whether the people have taken any interest
in the matter.
From cursory glance at the list of welI-kn"wn
names in the election returns, must think that our
Legislature for 81 and 55 is to be one OF high carac
ter for intelligence and integrity.
