From The Washington Star, Nov. LIST.
The Sumner Holstein affair 10 tho burden
Of soss'ppy half-column of newspaper
matter, originating in Boston and elected
fsoin New York on TO the general sea Of
Journalism. An usual. whom the public
take up the donestic affairs Of public men,
il falls into = feverish furorc, which il 10 the
purpose Of ,his paragraph 90 correct. In
the hrst place, Baron liolstein, who is rep
resented - the target for these "gli.tering
spscialitics" in an interchange Of plomatis
notes between Count Bismarck and the
chairman Of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations, has never boon attached to
the Prussian legation ia this city. Ne
came TO this country moro than . year ago,
on leave Of six months absence, granted
by Bismarck. who employed him 10 the
Berlin department Of State.
The Baron became infatuated with the
dazzling society Of New York, and, IS u
genuine Baron, WAS the lion At Saratoga in
the summer OF Ct, where lie met, ia the
mcshcs which the gay season wovc around
him, the lady with whose name he has been
80 frequently mentioned Returning g.
Washington, lie applied for aud was grant
ell annthcr six months leave Of ABSENCE
Here he fitted through the gsi'ies Of last
winter, AMI was more noticeable for the :.
lect company no kept than for good looks
or brilliant accomplishments When his
second leave expired. he asked for another
extension, but bismarck objected and IIul-
stcin was required 10 depart at once Tor Ber.
In. lilo was u 1t recalled NJ the instance II
Senator Summer, ss has been stated. bn,
merely obeyed the summons Of thu great
dp'omatist. with whom he is now intimate
Nv associated. 1t ia trac thst tho lady TO
whom the Baron WAS 40 constant a cavalier
has also gone to Europe, but for the pur
pose. II is stated, OF restoring impaired
health. The crispy society Of Boston talks
the scandal over, and simply says that the
lady has been "ladlscrect. But the under
current Of the city = gossip maintains tina,
II knows more about il. and that q divorce
nensa e hord will now be granted How.
ever. that 10 q question for the courts, and
net for the newspapers.
GRgELyY has no idea OF discarding the
principles OF the r. .uh!ic.n party TO win
success In a late number of tho Tr;barf
he says:
eli Our principles do no, sustain us, We
must 20 down. And, I we shall attempt
evasion O, conceslmcu,. We shall }eseyre 10
e. down. Ans candidate who represents
ous principles and gi0ries in avcwing them,
W. shall mos. hcuuls support, whether he
DO Chase, or Grant, % Ce.iax, OF any 9th
G.. IL were pcssiul. that the Re.,ubli-
cans should disearl their plain Obligations
and star: on an unprineipled race for vic
tory, VIC should fes little interest in their
success"
When the devil was sick, &c.
TnE dnn Starry Standard attributes
the death OF tho republican party 10 suicide
rather than downright slaughter by the do
inocracy. IL says:
Viewer was there clearer case of PARTY
suicide than the republicans can preaent
this autumn. Their defeat is deserved
punishment for the insincere and shiftlcss
policy they have chosen to pursue
Who cares whether it was done bv its
ewa hand or otherwise so Il Was we'll done.
