BIsMARCK's DESIGN Intelligence from Brussels
Prussia positively contempates and connives for
the annexation OF Luxembourg, for the following
reasons:
Firsily-The annexation Of Lorraine will be
strageticaly useless without Luxembourg.
Secondly-Lord Stanley, in 1867, declared that
the guarantees of the neutrality of England as to
Luxembourg would not involve the necessity of
defending The treaty
Thirdly-Prussia believes tat England would
not oppose this annexation Prussian agents are
at present busily engaged in canvassing the feel
ings of the inhabitants of the Duchy, and as far
as can he ascertained majoity of the inhabitants
are opposed to annexation
The eagle-eyed, voracious Bismarck has only
had bis ambition for universal Empire in Ger
many sharpened by the easy prospective acquisi-
ton of Lorraine. His strokes have placed him in
such formidable attitude in the premises that
he fancies that almost any demand be chooses to
make will be complied with and acquiesced in by
the other European powers. His movements
have been marked throughout with political
foresight and sagacty that would do credit to any
Minister of slate He has demonstrated to the
world that he has been thus far equal to the
station he has filled But it was the last feather
that broke the cancels back 1t may be that
making one demand too many, or too rash, or
too dangerous to the peace or welfare of Europe
may prove disastrous to the prestige of Prussia
and the ambition of her Prime Minister.

President Grant among other good things in
his Message to Congress, recommended a Civil
Service reform. We know of no department of
our governmental machinery that so much needs
a reformation as does this We believe that the
suavity, polite chicanery, polished seductiveness
of the political "rings' and ''ring-mastersn of
the party have given TO them too great a control
tration. We regret that it is so. We deplore
the existence of the fact. We see the inevitable
goal to which things under such management
are tending. We can expect nothing of more
wholesome character in the departments of the
government that directly interest a large portion
of the people until we make change here.
We do not believe that President Grant
would knowingly appoint to or continue in office
a scamp or an unworthy man, if he knew him to
be such and if he were not imposed upon by all
sorts of wire-pulling, letter-writing, petition
signing, committee-endorsing, delegation-press-
ing influences to make or continue an appoint
ment. He is not like the Pope-iufallible. He
is human He can be mlslead. He is capable of
making mistakes. His appointments are made
according to the light that is brought to bear
upon them and the individual applicants. He
may continue them because the hidden facts that
would have prevented it in the first instance and
which were studiously covered up, are now,
more completely concealed than at first. Now,
those who complain that things are going not as
they should, that undeserving men receive and
hold places, should put their shoulders to the
wheel and help Ulysses push the reform as Her
cules helped the wagon out of the mud. 1t is
your duty to put the President and others in pos
session of the facts that would induce him to
remedy the existing evils. Do not stand off and
expect others to do it. This is the way men gel
into places for their own selfish purposes and
for the party's injury.
If reform is to be inaugurated as suggested,
we know of no better place to begin than that
place which is nearest home-in Maryland. I'm
til he make thorough cleansing of the depart
ments, until he knock off the 'barnacles' wheth
er they have been of three years standing or not
he need expect no better success to the party IL
the State The sooner he understand this thu
better for the party and the administration. 1
is the duty of all well-wishers of the Presiden
and the party to give all the aid in their powe
to accomplish this much desired object.
We know of some excellent appointments tina
have been madeby the President in Maryland. w
do not believe better could have been made
But one or two departments in the city of Balti
more are dens of political free-booters in conse
quence of the lacking dignity, integrity and abil
ity of their heads. Civil Service reform will no
begin in Maryland until these gentlemen are re
lieved from further duty to the Republic.

St2s0uQe.

The following preamble and resolutions were
offered in the House of Representatives on Mon
day, by Mr. Morgan, a Democrat and referred
to the committee on Foreign affairs:
Whereas, The people of the United States by
the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment Of
the Constitution thereof limited slavery or in
voluntary servitude to punishment for crimes,
and thereby stamped with the seal of their con-
domination all commerce in human beings; there
fore,
Be 1t resolved, &c. That it is as much against
the spirit of the Constitution of the United States
to purchase a population in bulk as to buy an in
dividual, and that all attempts to purchase the
island of San Domingo or the island of Cuba are
condemned in advance by the Constitution and
the spirit of our republican institutions, and
would wound the self-respect of every citizen of
either island proposed to be purchased.
ResoIUed, That any officer of the Government
of the United States who engages in any scheme
to purchase human beings, directly or indirectly,
whether by calling it purchase of territory or
by any other name, does so in violation of the
laws of nations and of the Constitution, as well
as of the oath he takes to support that instru-
ment, and that in so far as the island of San Do
mingo is concerned, it is greater outrage for
our Government to purchase whole lot of me-
groes or others than to purchase one individual.
"Where ignorance is bliss tbs folly to be wise.
Does Mr.. Morgan remember when the Slave-De-
mocracy was at its crisis in the Halls of Congress
that their chosen tool, James Buchanan, asked
for an appropriation of $50 600, 900 to negotiate
not purchase-for Cuba Does he know thai
an additional appropriation would have beer
necessary, for its purchase?
II we annex San Domingo, will that be buy
ing her? If we buy her, will we buy the inhab
itants either individually or collectively Did
not the Democracy rob Mexico of Texas, New
Mexico and California Did any of the inhabi.
tants Of either feel that they were kidnapped
Did not Thomas Jefferson-the founder of the
Democratic party-purchaseL Louisiana of France
Did any Democrat within its jurisdiction fee
that be was sold by France and bought by tn.
Democratic party Did any Democrat then fee
that he had violated the Constitution By becom
ing citizen of the United States in consequence
of our purchase of the land of his adoption Die
any Democrat feel that be had become chattlt
by the purchase If Mr. Morgan should sell hi
farm would the purchaser consider that it neces
arily carried g title to the resident Democra
along with it?

An exchange contains the following signif
cant paragraph:
The demonstration made by the Roman
Catholics of sympathy with the Pope was a
most imposing affair. The route of the process
sion was lined with people, and the procession
was one Of the largest ever seen in this city.
Bishop Ryan opened the services at the Cathe-
dral, and delivered an eloquent address Mr..
James Mooney and committee ofctizens read
the address, which is to be forwarded to the
Pope, and offered the following resolutions
First-That we make an avowal of our most
sincere homage and obedience to the See of
Peter and of flial affection and spiritual allie
glance and devotion to our most Holy Father
as the legitimate successor of the Prince of
Apostles and Vicar of Christ upon earth, and
of sympathy at the aflliction and outrage to
which his august person and Church are at
present subjected; that we repudiate and con-
denim the injustice perpetrated IN the malicious
and wanton invasion of his legitimate domain,
and soemnly denounce and condemn the
sacrilegious violence by force of arms which
has brought under captivity his sacred person ];
that we protest against the invasion of the
liberty of the Church and the subecting to
captivity of its recognized head, both as an
outrage against the sacred prerogatives of his
Holiness as Supreme Pontiff and as violation
of the rights, which we as Catholics possess, of
being governed by chief completely exempt
| we promise to continue in faithfulness, ODE
dience and homage to the See of ST. Peter, and
still recognize and shall continue to recognize
his Holiness as the lawful King of Rome, and
we pledge our hearty cooperation to any move
ment of the Catholic world that has for its
object the maintenance of the integrity OF his
sovereignty.
| The locality of the above transaction was
Buffalo, New York.
| The departure of Civil Power from the Pope
has created much excitement in the Catholic
world and is agitating almost all communities
Various Bishops and Archibishops have made
the matter prominent one since their return
| from the Ecumenical Council.
| We fear that matters were pushed too far
there for the stability of the church and the
welfare of Catholicism. Infallibility is a thing
that does not take well among the more intelli-
gent classes ofCatholics. It's adoption, we fear.
has not strengthened the bans of the 1nstitu'
ton any, and its powers for what of good il
might accomplish have been materially
| weakened.

The CoNTRAsT.--The Message of President
Grant contained 9,O85 words, says New York
paper. 1t was despatched to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York over ten wires of the
Western Union Telegraph company in 372 min
utes This was at the rate of 25 words per min
ute on each wire Including all breaks or acct
dental delays" What world of progress this
small comment tells. Thirty years ago the Mes
sage would have been not less than two DAYS in
reaching New YORK In that time President
Grants Message was in the London papers and
was read on the Pacific Coast Fifty years ago a
week would have been considered quick for the
reception of the Presidents inaugural or Mes
sage in New York or Boston Now in that tim
it has become old and stale news and disappear

that people are not so long lived as formerly
They can learn more, live more, see more AM

CoNGREssToNAL.-C Congress does not apnear IN
be burdened with energy in the way of legisla-
ton yet. Slight chickering's of different subjects
have marked their proceedings thus far. The
Senate has about made up its mind TO abolish
the Offices of Admiral and Vice Admiral in the
Navy, which will leave Porter without the man
tie OF Admiral Farragut. The House is undeci-
ded to what its course shall be concerning the
abolition of the ranking privilege. 1t is now
going through the motions and delays that usu-
ally characterize these bills the policy of whose
passage is of doubtful character.
The action of the House seems TO indicate an
entire repeal of the internal revenue laws and a
reform in the civil service.
A joint resolution has been offered in the SEN
ate, looking to the restoration Of Arlington to
the widow of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee. 1t
asks for the appointment of committee to in
vestigate the con6scation and the sale of the
premises and whether Gen. Lee had any title to
the estate. A bill looking to the establishment
ofsa line OF mail steamers between the United
States and Europe has been introduced into the
Senate.

Tl ,yaLd021le21t.

The Presidents Message has created some
stir in political circles and newspaper columns
Queer, commonplace, eccentric criticisms oc
cupy places in some journals, while others
give good hits and hints of its defects. Sound
theories are set forth in some columns con-
corning any mistaken suggestions or line OF
policy that is advised. Some journals deal
with the document with rough hand and an
able pen. Others are disposed to tame criti-
dorsement of the remainder.
This is all natural. tits what is expected.
We could not look for any thing else. This
process is what is required in our system OF
government and mode of managing political
affairs The President is not infallible if the
Pope is. Neither does this unearthly quality
belong to the Presidents criticizers 1t is safe
to say that but few-if any-of them could
have produced a document of that character
that would not have furnished fields equally
as broad for criticism and themes fully as
prolific ofridicule or debate itdoes. tits much
easier to see the sun and to point to 1t than to
mount to its height. Being capable of pointing
out one defect does not enrobe the critic with
ethical insight suficientto penetrate the mean
ing and learning of the entire instrument
Some stickler in revenue intricacies may be
a fair man to pass judgment upon the sugges-
ton of the President upon this point, but this
does not qualify him to show up the dement's,
if any there be, concerning the Alabama claims
and the settlement of existing difficulties be-
tween the United States and Canada. One
whose study and hobby has been the subtle
bearings and operations of the tariff may be
allowed to utter his mild condemnations ofthe
President in this department of his message,
but when the same individual enters the do
main of diplomacy he is out of his element
and is to be excused if he become as ridiculous
in his perorations to his readers upon this topic
as would bison in a china hall or as would a
Five Points ''ring master" in the domain OF
Rhetoric.
Almost every critic will find the devoted
scalp of some brother in the business in the
direct line of descent of his keen sabre. Their
faultfndings clash and jar each other at almost
every stroke of the lance When their ideas Of
what Presidents message should be and Of
what the Presidents message is not, are in
sweet accord" and utter the same sounds, then
| it will be time for the President to take alarm
and believe that he has fallen below the re-
quirements of his position.

alleged, sent circular to complainant inviting
him to come to the city and invest his money
