CARIi SCHURZ's. INTERVIEW WITH
COUNT BIsMARK-A little interesting
information has guadually oozed out re.
Bismark and the American General
SchHrz Thelatter, of course, was very
reserved respecting the manner of Kin
kel's escape, as he could not consent to
compromise s.other persons who are still
living According to the 'Breslau Gazette
the interview lasted nearly three hours,
and the conservation turned chiefly on
politics Count" Bismark said, in the
course of it, that he was very DESTROYS to
preserve the present friendly relations
between Prussia and America, but that if
aconffict should break ont between the
latter and England, the friendship of
England was tf more Importance tohim
Las, in case of Prussia being engaged in
war either towards the east or the west,
it was necessary that she should be able
to rely on EngIand's direct or indirect
support. General Schurz did not be-
lieve that the present Government of the!
United States would attempt any inter-
ference in European politics. but added
that if Gen. Grant should be elected, the
Republican party would certainly adhere
to the Monroe doctrine. He did not
think the Alabama question dangerous;
both himself and his friends were anxious
to avoid any serious conflict with Eng
land. Count Bismark spoke at some
length on the German politics, as also on
the military and diplomatic history of
1865. Among other things, he said that
it was not Ma poleon's Intervention, but
the cholera, which compelled the victor
ious Prussian army to pause'in its career
before the gates of Vienna ,fnoo1 a|i

THE New HAMPSHIRE ELEGTIoN.-
The time honored democracy" expected
great things of the late election in New
Hampshire. They made most vigorous
canvass, and sent their Deans, Burrs, Doc
Titles, and other great men in among the
granite hills to stirup the masses, but they
are mortified to find that they stirred up
the worst kind Of hornets nest around
theio heads The result was to be an
index of the true feelings Of the people
in the coming Presidential election, and
indeed the Republicans are willing to
take it as such. Gen.. Hartman has
been elected by the average Republican
majority of the past twelve years, which,
considering the strenuous exertion of the
supporters of Sinclair to drag it down be-
low zero, is a great triumph for the radi-
cal cause. The Republicans fail to see
the ''re action" the Democratic papers
have been talking about for the past six
months. We expect another 'fre-action"
movement in Connecticut on the first
Monday in April, and if the Demecrats'
don't hear something "drap'' it will be

e@s- The Copperhead papers have been
trying to persuade their readers that the
articles of impeachment preferred against
Johnsonsswere all a. farce, and amounted
to nothing. But it seems that his half
dozen. lawyers do not estimate them SO
lightly. The indictment is so serious that
they asked for. forty days time in which
to frame an answer. to it. 1t would not
take six of the ablest attorneys in the
country, with the. Attorney General at
their head, SIX weeks to devise plea,
if they did not believe their client had
placed himself in a most dangerous at
tltude, They are bound by professional
honor to do the very best they can for the
culprit, but they undoubtedly feel that he
is guilty and certain ofimpe%ohment.

MR.. DOOLITTLE.

-
We have been wondering why we did
not have before this time, report of a
great speech. --'t'the greatest of his life
from MIR. Doolittle, on the impeachment
question. Butwe reflect that Mr.. Doc
little has been on detached service in the
State of New Hampshire recently. Not
long since we were informed that Mr..
Deolittle made a great speech, ''the great
est of his life" out of the proper, or at
least, usual order of debate in the Senate.
We were told that the secret of this pc
culiar course of conduct was desire to
effect the then coming election in New
Hampshire. ellis spirit was stirred
within him as he saw the people" Of that
State, wholly given up to Republican.
ism. t-.'t -+
His comprehensive glance took in the
danger of the situation. New Hampshire
must be converted so the "Lincoln-J ohm
soa policy of restoration" He ad-a
dressed himself to this work and deliv
cred the greatest speech of his life to
accomplish it. Now when we do fine
thing We like to see the effect of it. It
pleases US to see our success. The
witchery of this spring in our nature, was
upon NIr. Doolittle. He must 60 to New
Hampshire to see her wheeling into line
under the effect Of this "the greatest
speech of his ife.7 So Mr.. Doolittle
went. We understand that he was not
content with allowing "the greatest
speech Of his life to do its great work
without assisting it by little personal
effort among the people. So there on the
ground, he "spake again and f'all wen.
merry as marriage bell" The people
of New Hampshire actually had touch
of the quality Of his 'throat Of brass and
adamantine lungs" But woe worth that
besodden race! They were not appreeia-
tive. They didn't see it. They were
sunk too deep in Republicanism to be
effected By "the greatest speech Of his
life or the presence of the man who
made it. | o
In fact they seem to have had the same
kind of view of Mr. Dooiittls that K. N.
Pepper had Ct the seventeen year
Locus" Il can't think You bring any
eAex of consequence at all, and you can
leave just when you please or stay and
holler on.
The Connecticut election would seem
to furnish another opportunity for Still
another greatest speech of his life
We need not fear that anything short of
death will close this great fountain of
great speeches. A man who is "mighty
in words will always find his opportuni-
ty to deliver "the greatest speech of his
life" The result of the election in New
Hampshire leads rs to cheer Mr. Doolit-
tie on. The effects of his efforts are
grand. We can stand them if he can.
We hope he will lose no opportunity, in
fact, we hope he will make very many
opportunities TO deliver "the greatest
speech of his life." .......--

THE MANNER OF MAN HE IS,

The Darlington Unloa,, published near.
the home Of Hon. Charles Dunn, the
Democratic nominee for Chief Justice,
gives the following aceout of him. ~,
"Judge Dunn, the Democratic candi-
date for Chief Justice, is resident of the
town of Belmont, in this county, and is
genial, pleasant old gentlemen of about
seventy years, superannuated, and so
tinctured with the virus of Democracy.
that he is united for a faithful, unbiased.
discharge of the duties of the position of
Chief Justice Of free, progressive and
civilizing community. Reared in the
pro-slavery school of politics, a follower
of Calhoun while he lived, and an advo-
cate of that great fre-eater's theories
since his death, he has steadily adhered
to the peculiar dogmas of the south, and
| always advocated the cause of the slave
holder. In 1858, when running as an
opposition candidate for. Congress against
General c. c. Washburne, he made a
speech from the balcony of the Russell
House. in this village, in which. he fully
endorsed the great Kansas iniquity
known as the Lecompton fraud, and took
ground in favor Of the right of the slaYe-
holder to take his slaves into any state in
the Union, and hold them there as chat
tells. His a0as one of the four votes. cast
an the torn Of Belmont, an 1870, for
John G. Breckenridge for President !.
"'1n 1861, at the breaking out Of the
rebellion Judge Dunn made a speech in
the village of Belmont, in which he took
ground against the right of the Govern
ment to coerce the rebel communities of
the South into obedience to the Constitu-
ton and laws. He contended that the
Government possessed no authoritative
remedy in the matter, and the South
should be permit ed to go in peace.
Gin addition to his want, Of sufficient
ability to discharge SO important trust
as that of Chief Justice, Judge Dunn is
incapaciated by age for the performance
of the onerous labors which attach to the
office. Il would certainly be unwise for
the people Of the State to elect him over
his faithful and efficient opponent We
feel confident they will fail into no such
error. ;.-7t.
In addition to the above, we would
make another statement against Judge
Dunn, which seems to be overlooked in
the canvass to this effect: That the Judge
voted in the Constitutional Convention of
this State against the clause in the suf-
frage article allowing foreigners to vote
after one years residence, and argued
that FIVE years residence was short
enough for foreigners to become acquain-
ted with the workings of Democratic
Government. The danger he pictured
was that they were too ignorant to be
entrusted with any share in the admins
tration of our government until qualified
by time and observation he considered
even five years too short. We call the
attention of our foreign born citizens in
this vicinity to Judge Dunn'sIposition to-
wards them, and ask them if they can,
with any degree of consistency towards
themselves, support such a man.

n@H General Hancock has appointed a
new Board Of Registration in New Or

cannot take the oath. The rebels are
delighted with the board, and express
strong confidence that the registration

to defeat the new. constitution and .he
Republican State ticket headed by Gen
eral Fl. G. Yarmouth. A committee of
seven members of the late conv ntion

mandant Of the Fifth District as Hancock.
Since the latter got the notion into his
head OF, being candidate for President
on the Copperhead ticket, he has devoted
himself to pleasing the rebels and dis
pleasing the Union men of Louisiana and.
Texas. When Johnson is removed he
will suddenly cease to play Copperhead
in New Orleans at Government expense.
