mer no bill has YET appeared In the Reicnstag, while
the report the relating to the latter was
splritedly discussed saturday.
The first article Of this bill proposes TO forever
unite both provinces with the German realm, and
the second provides that the constitution shall
effect January l. 1874, though 1t may be partially
Introduced at an earlier period by imperial decree
10 this last proposition numerous amendments were
O1ercd by the special committee as well as by the
House. purposing TO admit forthwith the inhabi-
tants OF these provinces 10 all rights and duties Of
German citizens; also TO control the executive
power OF the Emperor during what may be
called the territorial lapse, by the Federal
Council aud Reicnstag and, further, to allow these
States a voice In their own legislative AFFAIRS.
Tine chairman Of the committee opened the discus
sion by an emphasis on the word forever in
artlcie Lrst, involving, as he said, duty, but not
the duty OF the conqueror, who has determined
never to return what he has TAKEN Our duty Is
plain. We have to secure the sympathies OF these
states and Germanze them. Their fealty to France
was originated by participation IN glorious reyo

glorious history, whose future shall be productive
OF greater blessings 10 them tnan was that revOlu-
ton. Let not think OF forcing upon them tnsti-
tutons which may do well enough for us In the
North but which Ind sympathy In the South.
To gain their sympathies we must give them liberal
communal institutions, organize free schools &c.

great statesmen such as he often c0ndde too much

ought not to have Independence nor officers or their
own-Alsatian officers should be transferred to
other parts or the realm and Germans put In their
