The New German Constitution,

The German crown has been offered to and
accepted by William of Prussia. Among the
monarchs of the hour King William is the
most prosperous. Under him the old German
empire is restored. Since 1SO6 the German
or Holy Roman empire has been defunct.
Now that the old name is revived people ask
what the restored German empire means.
In few words let US explain. The new con-
stitution comes under a threefold division. It
consists of the crown, the princes and the Par
lament. Of the Parliament, or Reichstag.
we must speak well. The power is distributed
in accordance with population. The Reich
stag is to consist of three hundred and eighty
two members, elected by ballot and universal
suffrage in the proportion Of one member to
every one hundred thousand of the popula-
ton. In this House Prussia will be repre-
sented by two hundred and forty, or nearly
two-thirds of the whole. In the Parliament, or
Reichstag, Prussia will, therefore, be master
of the situation.
The Imperial Council is to consist of the
twenty five Princes of Germany. The votes

The News from Paris.

The news from Paris which we publish this
morning is quite interesting. Our CORE
spondent in the besieged city sends an account
of the last sortie, the result of which the
reader already knows. 1t will be noticed that
great deal Of struggling is reported, but that
is something which all raw troops will indulge
in. As we understand it, the sortie was the
result Of demonstrations made by the Germans
against the northeast defences of Paris. The
French official reports claim successes, but it
is evident that the contest favored neither side
at best
One despatch from Paris, dated December
81, reports children dying for the want of
milk. This statement must be taken with
many grains of allowance. 1t is probably
true, however, that the supply of coal is
exhausted; but there ia no need for the people
to suffer to any extent for want of fuel, as the
Bois de Boulogne and the forests at other
points contain enough wood to last six months.
An explanation for the evacuation of Fort
Avron is given, to the effect that the garrison
voluntarily left it to escape the Prussian
shells. This is not bad. Troops defending a
place seldom leave it from any other cause.
Paris continues in good spirits. Reports Of
General Chauzy's successes are received with
enthusiasm, and, although the press censure
the military authorities in the city for their
inactivity, it is evident that the people are As
satisfied with the situation as they well can be,
circumstanced as they are. OF course they
are elamorous for another sortie, and doubt
less there are plenty Of street-corner generals
in Paris who express themselves able to break
the investing line if they were in command
Trochu, however, seems determined to bde
his own time-or perhaps he is preparing a
grand coup de main, as our Versailles cor
respondent suggests, which will astonish the
Germans and the world at large.

OPERATIONS ON THE LoIRE.-The German
army which is reported to have retired upon
Glen must not be mistaken for that confront-
ing General Chauzy. 1t is the ''Third army"
which pursued Bourbaki across the Loire in
the direction Of Bourges after the French
defeat near Orleans. This force is now con-
fronted by what is known as the Army of Bor-
deaux, which recently began an advance
movement towards Orleans. The forces ope-
rating against General Chauzy are at consi-
derable distance northwest of Glen, which
place is situated ON the Loire, some miles east
southeast of Orleans. 1t is evident, however,
from the fact Of General Chauzy having
returned from LIE Mans to Vend6me, that the
two French armies are operating to effect
junction.

Christ mas in Rome.

The HERALD correspondent in Rome sup
plies, by telegraph letter addressed to us in
London and forwarded from the British capi-
tai by special cable despatch to New York,
the celebration of the Christmas festival in
the Holy City as it was observed on the ami
versary day which has just closed. 1t is a
mournful report, particularly SO when we con-
slider the glorious occasion and reflect on the
surrounding circumstances. The dawn OF the
day of the nativity of the Saviour found social
gloom, discomfort, public distrust and popular
alarm existing in the Capitol of the city which
has during many centuries been styled the
centre of Christian unity and the fount of con-
ISOLATION for the "orphans of the heart" Chris
tianity appears to have lost it's faith for the
moment in the presence of the feeting tempo
ralities of the lay power of a throne, and under
the influence of their pressure. His Holiness
the Pope absented himself voluntarily, from
the altar of st. Peters. In the recesses of the
Vatican Pho Mono may have reflected on the
majesty of the courage which was displayed
by Daniel in the lions den, remembered the
patience of holy Job, reverted to the dogmatic
definition Of the apostolicity of the commission
which was given to st. Peter, and renewed his
fortitude and moral strength by reperusal of
the nature of the glorious appartions Of Christ
walking on the waters and calmly sleeping on
the deck of the storm tossed bark; but, if the
Pope did so we fear that the mortal man pre-
vailed for the moment over the immortal spirit,
as it did with Peter himself in the hall of
Plate.
Nature was in accord with the terrestrial
situation The weather in Rome was most
disagreeable, unusually and particularly so.
Political discussion was carried on on all
sides. Every day rivalries and jealousies,
accompanied or enforced by vituperative crimi-
nation and partisan recrmination, were heard
in the streets and in the press. Men quar-
relied concerning the executive claims of King
Victor Emmanuel and the counter claims of
authority by the Pope-King. The Church
remained firm. Democracy was inclined to
be fierce. The interchange of family greeting
was almost suspended. The King of Italy
was expected (we have reported his advent
and exit snce) and many Of the people were
inclined to side with his Majesty.
In such fashion was the Christmas Day of
1870 passed in Rome In after ages, when
the seat of religion has been restored with all
its simple brilliancy perhaps in Jerusalem and
the future historian turns up the musty record
of the present hour, he will wonder in amaze
ment and inquire, What manner Of Christian
men endured in Rome-Rome so distracted
and uncharitable?
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

would escape censure. The Governor rebels
the government at Washington, as many thou
sands of our wise and thoughtful citizens do; ;
but as the affair proved wholly innocuous aud
the attempt is not at all likely to be repeated,
been alluded to. However, as a matter of
principle, seriously involving municipal rights,
the Governor doubtless thought it his duty to
refer to it in the following strong language
He says:-
The police and cvil authorities OF the city and
State, whose duty ii to preserve order, were ig-
nored, under instructions from Washington, as
completely as II the people OF the State were In re-
belion against the government of the United States
IL was bold attempt on the part OF the federal GO
vernment to assume absolute control OF the State
ana local elections IN order to accomplish partisan
ENDS; and officials, both judicial and executive
seemed determined to prosecute 1t without any re-.
people.
In all this portion of the Governors Mes
sage touching upon the national finances,
taxation, the tariff and the legitimate limits of
federal authority have we not presented to us
the stoutest planks in the democratic platform
for the Presidential contest in 1872? Whether
Governor Hoffman is the spokesman Of the
party by authority of the party or not, he has
undoubtedly foreshadowed its policy. Hoff-
man, as the reelected Executive of the State,
by the grace of a handsome democratic
majority, and probably the chosen standard
bearer of the party in the Presidential battle
OF next year, if the stalwart democrats of the
West will accept him, has heavy weight of
responsibility to carry. His words will there
fore be esteemed as oracular, as utterances,
indeed, coming from one who assumes the
right to speak for the democratic party and lay
down its future policy. In this view the Mes
local interest

THE FRENCH ADVANCE IN THE EAsT.-The
recent defeat of the Germans at Gray and cap
ture of the town by the Frenchl indicates that
the latter are pushing forward in the direction
of Belfort, probably with the intention of rails
ing the siege. Since the movement began the
French have made considerable progress. The
distance from Chalons-sur-Sa6ne whence they
started to Gray, is some seventy miles. They
seem to have freed the departments Of Cote
dor and Haute-Marne from the presence ofthe
Germans entirely, and unless stand is made
at vesoul, the largest town in the Haute-
ments of Haut-Rhin and Vosges.
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

In the Council Of Princes, new House of
Lords, Prussia will only, as the figures PROVE
have one-third vote. AS the Federal coun-
Gil has the right of proclaiming war, it is natu-
raj to argue that the new German constitu-
tion must be peaceful in its tendencies.
This new experiment in the art of govern
ment can only be judged on its own merits.
and time is necessary to make judgment just.
We are willing to wait; but we are by no
means satisfied that the new constitution is
perfect. Germany will have to make some
changes before she can say she has reached
millennium perfection
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

GENERAL PRIM's remains were honored with
an imposing funeral in Madrid yesterday. A
s'multitudinous" congregation of people wit
messed and attended in the cortege. There
was no disturbance, at least SO far as our
present dispatches report. Within short
period of time we shall be told
The scnptor's art eXhausts the pomp or woe,
And storied urns proclaim who rests below.
And SO Marshal Prim will have passed into

back has lost, if report speaks truly, the Grand
Duke his command. 1t is noticeable, too, that
the German soldiers have lost much of that
vim and spirit which formerly distinguished
them. They have grown tired and weary of
the campaign and are anxious to return to
their homes. In the next great battle near
Paris, which we believe is imminent now that
the Seine is frozen over, this lack of spirit may
tell against the investing armies now threat
ening the capital of France
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT SALE OF A TELR-
GRAPH.-The English government has just
sold its property in the deep sea cable which
communicates between Malta and Alexandria.
All the stock and material, submarine and on
land, connected with the undertaking has been
purchased by an incorporated company. The
line cost the government, 1t is said, over two
millions of dollars few years since. 1t has
realized one hundred and twenty-six thousand
dollars by the sale. Somebody loses.
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

"WINYING WAYs."-The Philadelphia Press,
organ Of the Pennsylvania n-mongerng
high tariff republicans, says, by way OF joke,
perhaps, that ''the champions of slavery were
always determined free traders" The cham
pions of slavery being tout of the way" pro-
badly the winning ways Of the editor Of the
Press may be tending toward gentle sever
ance from the Pennsylvania republican cohe-
sive affiliations. Forney in the democratic
ranks in 1872! What spectacle! No one,
however, will question his winning ways"
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

THE CAPTAIN OF THE BOMBAY We notice
that Captain Eyre, Of the steamer Bombay,
whose conduct at the time he ran into and
sunk the United States steamer Oneida caused
his suspension for the term of six months, has,
at the expiration Of the time, been notified by
the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, his employers, that his services are no
longer required. This to Captain Eyre has
probably proved more severe punishment
than the mere suspension.
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

Mr.. GREELEY AND THE PRES. DENT have
become friends again. if we may judge by the
at the White House yesterday. The President

and the future Of the republican party,
and the ever-ready philosopher came
at once and gave his views quite
readily, although II can hardly be said

THE NEW EDITOR of the Washington Chron-
icse enters the field with beaming modesty.
He says that s'no man can ride we'll until he

The New York herald., 1871-01-04

THE GAME OF SCHUYLER CoLFAx for the
next Presidency, it appears, is the old
game Of Horatio Seymour. Colfax, in other
words, has peremptorily and positively with
drawn from the course in order to make q
flank movement upon all his rivals, not except
ing General Grant. We fear, however, that
this trick Of Seymour is played out. What
thinkest thou, Horatio?
The New York herald., 1871-01-04

THE SIeNs OF THE TIMES are full of mis-
chief. Christmas Day was dismal day in
Rome, New Years was dull day in Washing
ton, and Christmas and New Year were any
thing bat cheerful in Paris and anything
but 'smerry' and ''bappy" days in Madrid.
The ball of war and revolution, set in motion
by Prim and Napoleon, still keeps rolling.
