We are now at Strasbourg.

We are now at Strasbourg. This
was formerly German Free I'M
perial City,-Louis XIV, seized
it in time Of peace and annexed it
to France; but this unwarrant-
able act did not make Frenchmen
Of the people ofStrasbourg. They
look German and generally speak
the German language. French is
taught in the schools. The great
est attraction in Strasbourg is the
celebrated Cathedral with it's lofty
spire, on which busy mechanics
have been at work for 900 years,
and have not yet reached the
height Of the ambitious architect.
The Cathedral is one Of the finest
Gothic edifces in Europe; it's spire
is the highest in the world, being
thirty feet higher than the great
Pyramid Of Egypt, and $50 feet
higher than St. Paul's, London,
This is one of the church steeples
I did not have the courage to
climb, as I was informed that peo-
pie occasionally dropped through
the open work, falling a distance
of some 500 feet! The Bishops
have found it necessary to issue
many indulgences to procure mon
ey to build the Notre Dame or Ca
thedral of Strasbourg. The church
is decorated with some fine statues.
and numerous paintings. It's ex-
treme height has made it a mark
for the lightning; it has been
struck more than a dozen times.
In 1854 the spire was entirely de-
molished by lightning, but was
soon restored. In 1928 an earth
quake came near shakingit to the
ground. Its stained windows are
beautiful; one of them is unusually
large, being fifty feet in diameter.
The rich painted glass was man.
ufactured in the 18th century. In
l793-a year long to be remem-
bered throughout France-the Ca
thedral fell into the hands Of the
Jacobins. They caused several
hundred statues of: Kings and
Saints to be cast into the streets
andriver, and converted the church
into an arsenal and place for COM
missary stores. Tie cut Of the
Jacobin sabre is to be seen on
many statues paintings and church
affairs, not only in Strasbourg,
but in Paris and other cities. In
the Cathedral is an astronomical
clock, almost as celebrated as
the tall spire, Three German pro-
fessors spent lifetime in trying
to perfect it, but did not complete
their work. It is called the Clock
of the Three sages. This ccle-
brated clock has racked the
brain of the German mathema-
ticians for 500 years, and was fl
nally perfected by Schwilgue, who
is now resident Of Strasbourg.

THE. NEXT CoNGREss.-There is
an erroneous impression that pre-
walls in the minds many persons,
who think the Congressional elec-
tions occurring this fall, will affect
the character Of the Congress that
meets in December. The only in
fuence these elections can have
upon that body, is a moral infu-
ence. The same members that
composed the last session Of Con-
gress will constitute the next.
The persons elected to Congress
this fall, will not have seats in the
present Congress. The political
complexion of the next session will
be, therefore, the same as that of
the last session.

NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE.

The exterior Of the Herald
Building on Broadway is finished,
and great is it's magnifcence. It
will be the most imposing edifce
on the street. No one but Ben
nett himself>knows when it will
be occupied, atpresent the interior
is hardly touched. The "oldman''
has relaxed some Of his vigilant
supervision over Representations
Office. He visits there two or
three times a week, and fuses
around, probably to keep his hand
in: Yonng Bennett, a tall .awk-
ward youth, rather bright looking,
with q bustling air about him, has
the control of the establishment.
He sticks. to his business bravely,
and it is said by those. who ought
to know, to have talent. The labor
Of keeping such a huge machine as
the Herald in proper working
order, is no child'splay. Itrequires
"a mind for organization and detail,
like that Of a General or large
hotel proprietor. The editorial
staff, alone, Of the Herald numbers
over one hundredmembers. Every
department has. its proper chief,
and under him are subordinates
ever at his back and call. There
is local editor, a literary editor,
a dramatic editor, an art editor, a
political editor; marine editor, a
foreign editor, a musical editor, a
telegraph editor, and reporters of
police items, base ball, chess, law
courts, political meetings, suburban
news, religious doings, prize fights,
military affairs, fremen's affairs,
German and French local, intelli-
gence, and the thousand-and-one
multifarious matters which make
up life in a great city. There are
an army of correspondents, also,
writing from every part Of the
world. Besides the editorial de-
partment, thereare others, devoted
to equally important parts Of the
Herald business. In the compos-
ing room are a hundred type set
ters, under command Of a foreman.
In the press room are fifty, engi-
neers, fremen, paperfolders, wrap
per writers and laborers; and in
the business Office, under a man
ager, there are clerks to attend to
the finances, receive the advertise
ments and subscr 4ons, sell the
papers, and distrloute the ava
lanche Of letters received in an
swer to advertisements. Directly
and indirectly, connected with the
Herald are at least five hundred
attaches, each one with his par
ticular mission to fill, and all to
contribute to the formation and
perfection of that great engine of
good and evil, the New York
Herald 1t requi4es a head to
direct it, and ifyoung Mr.. Bennett
is equal to the task, he is a chip of
the old block.

TnE ASSASSINATION or LINCOLN. we
did thank God Tor calling Lincoln home,
1t Lincoln is in Heaven, as Abolitionists
say, he is better off than he was in Wash
lngton, beset by thieves, Abolitionists,
army contractors, Office seekers, and
gaping listeners to his smut,y jokes
As IA friend Of Lincoln we thank God for
calling SO great and good a man home
before he should become disgusted with
the Annas, the James, the Thaddeuses,
the Benjamins, the Charleses, and 9th
ers OF their leaders OF the God and NOR
alty party.
We thank God for calling Lincoln in
to the presence aud company of Demo-
Gratis, as he is, if in Heaven. The poor
President suffered enough from beng
with aboIltionlsts on earth and wethank
ed God for calling him beyond their
reach or influence here or hereafter,
Whatever is right, God who rules us
all, wanted Lincoln removed lie made
Booth his agent no one is to blame for
Llncoln's death but God. God is never
to blame; we who sre Christians, should
thank him TOR everything we do so
thank HIM he who does not thank God
Is no Christian those who assail us are
no Christians -.
We believe the country is better off
now than when Lincoln was alive,
we believe more in craftsmanship
than IN niger songs, or in humorous
yarns in time of war.
We believe Lincoln was mere man
OF putty in the haLds OF traitors and
thieves, known latterly as Abolitionists
We believe that God saw that he was
not useful, even if ornamental and re-.
moved him to make room for better
man.
We believe Johnson is. n better man
than Lincoln--if he had not been, sure
lythe great Republican party would not
haYe gone out of the Union for n candl,
date for the vice presidency, when they
had so many good, pure, honorable
statesmen in the North!
We believe the country would be bet
ter off to-day, it every Republican and
Abolition traitor, meddlcr. sycophant,
apoloslst, traitor or tool of traitors
were in the bosom of Abraham.
We believe further, that the Abolition
party is going to the devil, literally, and
we care not how quick
And we will further believe that Brick
Pomeroy has no more true friends il,

THE NEW COMPLICATION In EoHoih rs
Under the above caption the Nc"
York Tribune of the 23rd inst says
The following points, we think, lnaSsle
considered as certain; 80, $50 ,-as;., a., us'er
France is deterH%evwsi viii exert herself
influence 10 The Emperor OF Austria
eollar'royince of his Empire except
-..enetla, and even tor finding some ter
ritorlal compensation for the loss of
Venetia. 10 this view neither Italy nor
Prussia will make an absolutee resis
tance. 1t is true, the Italian inhabitants
Ut the Tyrol and Of Trieste have Just
made new exhibition of their desire
to be incorporated with Italy, and the
Italian Government is said to have
insisted that the question of Southern
Tyrol b. regarded as an open one; but
after the cession Of Venetia. the enmity
between Italy and Austria will never
again assume the former dimensions,
and the rhiet cause why Italy sought 70
weaken Austria will have been remov
ed.
As regards Prussia, Count Bismark
would be likely to have little or no ob.
lection to indemnifyiug Austria for her
territorial losses, if she will consent to
withdraw her opposition to the consoli.
dation ofthe minor German States under
the rule OF Prussia But it is this point
which Austria Is determined not to Weld,
and which may yet lead to the failure of
the armistice Expulsion from Germany
would naturally appeal TO Austria as
preliminary TO her expulsion from the
number of the great Powers of Europe.
Prussia, flushed with her unparalleled
successes, feels OF course sbut little ircli-
nation to listen IN this question to dlplo-
matte counsel, and would greatly prefer
to solve the question by the sword. -
Russia and the present administration
of England desire, with France, that
Austria remain one OF the great Powers
OF Europe, and are reported to make
new efforts to this end.
The cesson Of Venetia to France has
caused intense Indignation in both Italy
and Prussia, In both countries the idea
of ceding some territory to France
meets with the unanimous and most
determined opposition of the people, and
any actual conces, ion of this kind would
be the germ Of the most intense hostility
between these countries and France.
On the who'll, the complications in
Europe have, by the latest steps of the
French Government, again become more
seriousi but neither France, nor Italy
and Prussia, wo believe, are so eager to
rush into new war as the latest dis,
patches from Europe represent them to
be.
