A HYPOTHETICAL SUCCESSOR FOR
GOTTNT BTSMARK

Il is the almost universal belief at Paris that
had war broken out on the question of buXem-
bouIg, Count Btsmark would have resigned MS
portfolio into the hands of Herr Rudolph Won
Bennigsen. This name occurred now and then
in the report OF the debates in the North Ger
man Parliament, and we are now able to give
brief sketch of its bearer The Bennigsens are
one of the oldest families in Saxony. without
meddling with their antiquities we may men
tion the fact that Gen. Levin Auguste Theophile
Won Bennigsen is supposed to have been a
leader In the plot for the assassination OF Paul
Luneburg in 1874. He studied the humantties
in the Lyceum of Hanover, and then
delberg in the study of the. law. Entering
upon his profession, he obtained honor
able trusts at Luchow, osnabruck,, Hanover,
his cousin, the FL aulein Anna Won Reden Has
tenbecR, Here also he made acquaintances
which have assisted him greatly in his career.
In 1855 he was chosen member of the Lower
House of Hanover from the town of Anrtch,
but was prevented from taking his seat by the
Minister of Justice, He showed his chagrin by
resigning his magistracv, and devoting himself
to agriculture In 1857 he was returned to
this time found no obstacle in his way. He
took his seat among the opposition. From
this time is to be dated his career as the apos-
tie of Pangermanism. His nrst step In
this direction was q consultation with the pro-
curator MIGUEL and other Gottingen friends
This resulted in published declaration of their
purpose to agitate for the assembly of a German
parliament and the creation of a strong central
power They also expressed the belief that the
initiative in this movement should be left to
Prussia This document was followed by the
Hanover Appeal of 1859, signed by Lhlrty-ive
Liberals, and, little later, by the. Eisenach
Address, which led directly to n meeting of the
National Nerein, under the presidency of Herr
Bennigsen. At This time he aid BismarlS were
seeking the same end by different roads The
event of Sadowa brought them into unison,
and Bcnnigsen was made second Vice. President
of the Parliament of North Germany. He was
a leading member of the war party, and it seems
very likely that the London conference has
postponed his advancement to higher +. ust

CHICAGO, June ga number of Western
speculators are swIndling the Eastern stock

only worth forty to nifty cents, when IL is said
to be really about par. The bank is no longer
in existence It's affairs were wound up and a
National Bank organized from 1t; yet the
shrewd cliques in the West go through the farce
OF electing officers and sending out false state
ments OF the assets and Liabilities, for the pur-
nose of buying up the Eastern stock for mere
song One director boasts that he will clear
10000 by this means. A great deal OF stock Is
owned in New York, Albany, Troy, and Pough-

The Chicago Republican, June 8, slys;-
"BusinPss throughout the week ending today
has ruled very quiet, and merchants complain
that orders from the interior are light and few.
Notwithstanding this, however, there seems to
be a confident feeling that trade will revive as
soon as the complaining Is finished, and the
weather has become settled. The stocks of
goods in the wholesale houses are fair, but noe
quite SO large as usual. All parties seem to
have anticipated q dull season, and they have
made their purchases accordingly. Under these
circumstances, the mercantile trade Is In COM
paratively easy condition, and but few exten~
sions are asked for.
"In financial circles there is an easier feeling,
the legitimate demand for money having fallen
off quite materially. OF course, mere specula-
tors are always in the market for supplies of
currency, but the bankers do not look upon
thls class OF paper as desirable and none out the
very best names are accepted.
"The rate of discount at the banks remains
steady at 10 per cent. per annum, but street
brokers charge rates equal to 1013 per cent.
per month. Mortgage loans are hrm and active
at SOLO per cent. per annum.
'The market for Eastern exchange is very
bare, and nearly all our leading bankers have
bad to express currency daily to New York to
meet their drafts. Bankers to day offered each
other express rates, but we heard of but few
sales. Counter rates are steady and firm at par
buying, and 10 premium selling"
