The German element appears to 20 strong

resolutions, one Of which heartily endorses
Governor Hoffman for 70 election. M fbaloxs.-

Recorder, mingled sternness with clsmaney;
who, as Mayor, challenged all oritsoszn. and as
Governor, drew upon him tho admiration Of
this and all other Statss Of tAs Union
that this, our old friend, he rs-nominated
and reelected to tho high position As now
holds with such distinguished renOwn,
hoping and believing that greater and higher
honors at the gift Of the whole nation
are still In store for him. The German
democratic press Of the city, We notice, ara
also most friendly and flattering In their conn
mendations of the Governor. The attempt Of
the radicals to catch the German vots by g
premature expression Of sympathy with the
Prussian cause is not likely to effect as much
as they expected in the coming election. Ger
man sentiment has changed since il has be-
come manifest that it is q free republic and
not despotic Imperialism that the King Of
Prussia is fighting; that it is the liberty Of tho
people and democratic principles which are
now ruthlessly assailed, and not o fraudulent
dynasty which has passed away into exile.
The sprat which the radicals threw out Ia
catch mackerel has therefore become stale
bait and will not allure any fish TO the hook.
Meantime it must be observed that the Ger.
mans are decidedly in favor Of Hoffman for
next Governor, and that in some cases they
even indicate nomination for the highest
place in the gift of the people.

THE QUARANTINE TROUBLE seems the
government authorities have listened to the
protestations OF New York against the whole
sale importation of yellow fever and smallpox,
via Perth Amboy, and have notified the Col
lector of that port that he cannot enter vessels
at his Custom House if they are consigned to
New York. This ought to effectually estop the
disease smugglers, and consequently desolate
the aspiring port of Perth Amboy.

The TROUBLES IN WINNIPEG have not
ended. The troops which were welcomed by
the people as the tranquillizers Of the troubled
territory have commenced arresting every one
connected with the original revolution, enter
ing Fort Garry in the order of battle, as if q
heavy force of revolutionists were arrayed
against them, and proceeding generally
as if there had been no compromise
agreed upon between the New Do
minion and Winnipeg, and no guarantees
given the Winnipeg commissioners that gen.
eral amnesty would be granted and every
rebel-even Riel himself-should be par
doned. We do not often hear of such perfidy
outside of the annals Of savage warfare. 1t
is only among the Sepoys that the Canadian
offshoot of England could have learned such
ingenious measures 1t must be remembered,
too, that the United States government was
victimized by this deception, for it was only
on the representation that the Canadian expe-
dition was bound on a mission of peace that
the vessel bearing supplies was permitted to
pass through the Sault Ste. Marie Canal.

QUEEN ISABELLA LEAVES FRANCE. lisa
bella la Catolica," late Queen of Spain, has
left the uncongenial atmosphere of the French
republic for the more agreeable air of the king
dom of Bavaria. She does not endorse the
French republic. A republic in France means
republic in Spain, and this is not her pro-
gramme She abdcated the Spanish throne,
and all her right, title and interest therein,
not in favor Of republic, which she holds
only as another term for anarchy and heresy,
but in favor of her son, the Prince of Astu-
rias and she had looked to Napoleon the
Third to see this Prince established in the
Escurial. She may, perhaps, now entertain
the hope that King William, through the
diplomacy of Bismarck, may get an Orleans
prince on the throne of France, and thus
open the door to q restoration in Spain; but,
at all events, Isabella in her departure from
France shows that she has no confidence and
no interest in the new French republic.
Nor does she go to Italy; for there are strong
symptoms of coming republic in that quar-
ter. She has gone to Bavaria, and in good
time we may hear of her at Berlin in confer
ence with the Hohenzollerns. Who knows?

ALEXANDRIA AND WASHINGTON RAILROAD
Classification Of Chief Justice Chase.-Chief
Justice Chase, in chambers, yesterday, pro =.
nounced his opinion upon the Alexandra and
Washington Railroad case, so far as the same
involves the question Of the status Of the COM
pany controlling that portion OF the road which
lies in Virginia. Sometime ago the Virginia
State Court of Appeals made decision. the Of.
feet of which Was to give possession Of the road
Company, q distinct from the Alexandria,
Washington and Georgetown Railroad COmpa-
ny. Several years ago, when the suit was instr
tuted, there was but one body claiming to be the
Alexandria and Warrington Railroad Company;
but at the time the suit concluded there were
two organizations, one with w. b. Shoemaker
as president, and the other with james 8.
French as president, each claiming to be the
Alexandra and Washington Railroad Company.
There Was, as may be remembered, some
months since, much litigation, injunctions by
Judge Hill, Of the State Court, and for day
or 30 the running Of the road by the Shoemaker
Company was interrupted. But the Shoemaker
Company kept possession OF the road, and with
their ergetic managers, Messrs. Stevens and
Phelps, have continued to run the trains.
Judge Chase yesterday fully sustained Judge
Underwood in recognizing the Shoemaker Com
pany as the legal Alexandria and Washington
Railroad Company. He sustained all the at
tachments for contempt issued by Judge I'm
deTwood, but released the fines, and finally
made perpetual an induction restraining any
interference with the possession Of the road,
against the rights of its present holders, the
Alexandria and w ashington Railroad Company,
of which w. >. Shoemaker IL president. This
puts an end to present litigation on this branch
of the subject-Atcx. GdEette.
