On the whole. liberia Uahlmdaner have carried
the day in the greater towns, and decided reac-
florists in the country. The way IN which the
country elections were managed yon may lnIer
from the fact that the LaRdrdthe in their
private capacities. sen. round circulars,
through their respective districts, calling
upon the Urndhler (primitiye electors) 10 return
such ana such persons. Now, the position of the
Landrath is quite exceptional in Prussia. In all

AT this moment stand against the ncw Cabinet,
which has not dared 10 remove them, partly be-
cause such radical operation would smash up all
revolutionary tendencies, aud clash with the rou-

There has Oecn no new census published since

some idea of the proportion between the country
population ard the population of the towns. Of
seventeen millions Of inhabitants. twelve millions
were scattered over the country while five millions
were gathered in towns, great part of the latter
being themselves country-towns only. OF the 3ci
