them not the Justice defined in the old SEN
tence, "iustice to all men, but to Hohen-
zollerns first" 'Iet Fritz have it, says the
King and he who chose Bismarck and Won
Moltke, who gives to his ablest
enemy of 1866 the supreme command north
east of Paris, and trusts to the only Prince
of his House who might found an Orleans
branch-for Frederick Charles is head of
partv-the command of the most active of his
armies, may be right once more, though such
insight might seem above him, and the Grown
Prince may be the man best fitted to wear
the new Imperial Grown, and play the part
Germany, deep in its heart, expects from the
successor of Frederick Barbarossa. If he is
and all Germany suspects him of hating
war and loving liberty-Europe may yet have
no reason to repent of the most bizarre, pos
sibly the most important event of our time
the recrowning of the German Emperor In the
year which has seen the Pope-King dis
crowned. But if he is not?
The effect of the change of title depends
SO absolutely on the reign of the first En-
peror who shall bear it for any time that it is
scarcely worth discussion. Two points only
may be accepted as certain. One is that the
Kaisership will make unity slightly easier, by
giving Germany visible head, supported by
traditionary reverence as we'll as popular
feeling, and by removing the jealousy of the
sub-kings, which, meaningless now, might be
full of menace hereafter should Germany
ever again be struggling in the grasp of a
foe. Men hate or love their admitted supe-
riors, but they are not jealous of them.
And the second is, that German Emperor
will in his heart consider all German men his
subjects, will sigh for the lost valley of the
Danube, and look wistfully northward
along the Baltic coast. Whether he will de-
sire to recover his subjects" by conquest or
by attraction-by the sword, as in Holsteln,
or by the drawing force of nobler and more
massive national life, as in Gotha and Baden
is the doubt with which Europe for years to
come will be disturbed; but that he will SO
desire there is no room for doubt whatever,
and it will be we'll for the freedom and the
diversity of Europe if he desires no more.

Nor FAMILIAR WITH THE BOOK. The Ohio
Statesman relates the following good joke at
the expense of two partisan editors:
after Chief Justice Chase, then Whig, as
sumed the gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he
issued his proclamation appointing Thanks
giving day. To make sure of being ortho-
dox, the Governor composed his proclama-
ton almost exclusively of passages from the
Bible, which he did not designate as quota
tions, presuming that every one would recog-
nize them, and admire the fitness of the
words as well as his taste in their selection.
The proclamation meeting the eyes of a
Democratic editor, he pounced at once upon
it-declaring that he had read it before
couldn't say exactly where-but he would
take his oath that it was downright plagiarism
from beginning to end That would have
been pretty fair JOKES but the next day the
Whig editor came out valiantly in defense of
the Governor, pronouncing the charge false
and libellous, and challenged any man living
to produce one single line of the proclama-
tion that ever had appeared in print before.

TWO MISSING STEAMERS.

The Bremen steamer SmIdt ThIrty-seven
DAYS Out-The City of Boston still Unheard
From.
Much apprehension is entertained in some
4 quarters as to the safety of the Bremen steamer
Smidt, which left Bremen, bound for New
i York, on the Goth of January, and has not yet
arrived; and is, therefore, now thirty-seven days
out. The Smidt is under the command of Cap
tain Scheers and had on board when she left
Bremen 29S steerage passengers. None in the
cabin.
WHAT HER AGENTS SAY.
Messrs. Thiele, Motz tS Co., the agents of the
Smidt, say that they do not feel any great alarm
at present as to the missing vessel; that she is
nOtoriously slow; and has been thirty days on
her passage once before; and that her shortest
passage to the westward was twenty days, and
to the eastward sixteen days. They also say
that the extreme length of the passage has
probably caused the supply of coal to run out,
aud 80 the boat has had to depend on her canvas
alone that she is comparatively new steamer.
|hnd very strong, and they have no doubt OF her
kultimate arrival.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL.
!, The Smidt was built in Bremen In 1858 She
HIS an iron steamer of 2400 tols, and was origi-
nally intended for sailing ship, but the inten-
ton of the owner was altered, and pair of
small engines were put into her, and she was
made into what is termed an auxiliary propeller
bat is, mainly dependent on her canvas, with
he screw as auxiliary. She is ship--igged and
has three decks the two lower ones for steer
age paS6enger6-anQ on INC upper uech lb u
Email space aft for the accommodation of cabin
passengers, of which she generally had but few,
hs she was known to be so slow that this class
gave the preference TO the faster steamers of the
ine. tI.
THE CITY OF BOSTON. ......
Nothing has yet been heard of the City of
Baston, now thirty-two days out from New York,
for Liverpool, and very grave fears are enter
aimed that she will add another to the list of
missing steamers never to be heard of more. At
khe last account the London underwriters were
charging premium of fifty per cent to insure
pm her. 1t being possible that she might have
un on Sable Island, government vessel has
been despatched from Halifax to that place
search of her. Taken in connection
With the fact of the Bremen steamer
lmidt beng missing, there is just one chance in
In thousand that the two vessels may have
6me into collision with each other. But neither
f them has been given up as lost, and 1t is
bought that they might If disabled, run for
fayai, in the Azores and as communication with
hat port is uncertain and at long intervals, a
ouch greater time may elapse before the news
build reach here or England. Sailing ships
ave been known to be missing for ninety or
ven one hundred days before intelligence was
eeeived of their being safely at Fayal.

Iowa rhieves-Prospect Of a Fray.
A correspondent Of the Omaha Republican
writes from st. James, Nebraska, as follows
An exciting event has happened In this usually
suiet neighborhood. About a mile above the
city of st. Helena there is piece of timber
growing on land made by the Missouri river.
This was surveyed last spring, and all of 1t pre-
empted or bought A party on the other side OF
the river, pretending that the land had never
been surveyed, have at various times driven
over the river and taken off timber in large
quantities. The settlers on this side at last de-
termined to put an end to this, and force was
organized on January 20 1870, to capture the
offenders. They succeeded In arresting three or
four, and gave them a trial, but on account of
some illegaity in the papers, they were ac-
Quilted. Immediately afterwards they announced
their determination to clear the whole OF the
timber on that place. ...
on Friday last the Sheriff of this county, at the
head of a small posse, went into the timber to
arrest whom he could find. He soon found one
and proceeded to arrest him. The man at once
drew q revolver, but the Sheriff caught 1t by the
lock, and, notwithstanding the desperate at
| tempts he made to throw back the hammer, the
i sheriff finally succeeded In wrestling IL from
him. He had no sooner accomplished this than
/ he found himself surrounded by thirty men,
q who, with revolvers pointed at his breast de-
manded that he should return the weapon to Its
owner. In the face of such numbers, 1t would
have been madness to refuse, and 1t was accord
u ingly returned. Mr.. Penny was then allowed to
depart
On Saturday last the settlers, 70 the number
n of one hundred and fifty to two hundred, assem-
bled at st. Helena, with the avowed determine
tion of capturing or killing the timber thieves.
Owing to illegality In papers, we were unable to
n leave st. Helena for the timber until about
q O'Clock p. NJ, at which time the whole force
y 2started. Mr.. Penny, in the meantime, procured
legal papers, and each and every member, feeling
Al that the law was en- his side, resolved to do or
die. But the game was too coy On reaching
the field not an enemy was to be seen. Another
organization of settlers took place this day with
similar result.
n There has been requistion sent to Governor
u Butler, to be sent to the Governor of Dakota
n having trespassed and resisted the law.

"Gold was no lower to-day than yesterday but It
was feverishly active at the!extremes h6117A
"At the opening there was a disposition on the
part OF the shorts to cover as well as the part
Of the bulls to try for reaction, and the market
towards noon became firm as the demand for gold
for the Clearing House was 80 urgent that holders
had their balances carried free OF interest and for
two and three per cent. These rates stimulated buy
ing and as at this time telegram from Washington
reported that the House had peremptorily ordered
the Banking Committee to bring in O bill for ifty
millions more currency the bulls took courage and
put the price to INK. Subsequently, the rate
were intermediate transactions at nat there
was less disposition to buy, because the
bulls began to feel that the only hope OF a rise
lay in short interest," as the foreign exchange

close of street business, however, the German
bankers seemed to be in possession Of some secret

The English cable was not working to-day, and the

shown in the report OF the operations OF the Gold
Exchange Bank, which were as follows s:-Gold

rency balances, S2,523,920.
Despite the decline in gold the market for foreign
exchange has been heavy, and to-day was weak and
lower. The shipments OF cotton and bonds fur
nish the market with so many bills that the bankers
are not solicited to draw except at concessions"

Navy Yard, Mare Island, Cal, to resume work
on the 21st proxmo in the Departments of Con-
struction and Repair and Steam Engineering,
taking on in the former department 500 of the
