THE PATRIOTISM OF THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
From the n. Y. Trihune
Republican Nomination for Congress-.

We would like to suggest to our friends tbe
propriety Of selecting the next candidate fnT
Congress from the lower part of the State. One
oi the chief reasons which influences us in ma
king the suggestion is, that the personal influ
ence OF individuals goes much further in this

best policy. We can carry the upper county
on the merits of our cause and while we thini
that we ought to be able to carry all the copnt-
les, 1t will most certainly aid us more materially
10 make this nomination from Sussex or Kent
than from New Castle We do NOT make flo
suggestion out OF any other considerations than
to promote the best interests CT the party. We
have quite number Of gentlemen in either of
the lower counties who have a great deal of per
sonal popularity with the people, and who would.

Three Classes ofDrunkar,l..

At the second meeting Of the american Asso-
citation for the Cure Of Inebriates recently held
in New York, Dr. Joseph Parrish delivered An
essay-the result Of his long experience in the
care Of inebrates He divided the latter into
three classes: the first, confirmed inebriates or
professional debauchees, whose purpose in life
seems to be limited tothe qualification ofappetites
or passions; the second is the emotional class
who are described as persons without decided
intentions to do wrong, and without any abiding
purpose to do right, and who are the victims Of
of their own moral weakness, or of the ennidifv
or recklessness Of others;' and the third are AL
cdental inebnates-''men of good principles and
Character, who know and acknowledge their in.
trinity and endeavor to overcome it, Students
authors, salesmen, and oyerworked business men
furnish a considerable per centage of this class.
The majority of the first class, according to DIR.
Parrish, are incurable, and he recommends that
such persons be detained in special hospitals
Of this class DIR. p has had eighty four under
his care, twenty-four Of whom improved 90 AZ
to be capable of partially attending to business;
seven were radically cured, and two became in
Sane. OF the second class, the Doctor has had
as patients seyenty-two, of whom forty-two were
70 improved as to attend most OF their tine to
Their affairs, and twenty-one were cured of their
iniirmity. lie has had in charge Of tile third
class slXty-six persons, forty-seven of whom
We're entirely cured, and sixteen Of whom are
nearly so.

New YoRK, Feb "a.
A special Berlin dispatch says that Germany is
again arming. Two army corps have received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to move
Immediately when directed
The reason is the great universal activity now
prevailing among the French politicians and the
consequent apprehension on the part of Germa-
ny of possible change in the form Of French
Government.
Prussia reserves to herself the right to judge
whether any new government would be likely,
from inclination or capacityto discharge the OBJ
legations of the treaty of peace, and should
Germany decide either point in the affirmative,

THE TREATMENT oF CRIME.

The International Congress for the Prevention
and Repression of Crime, is to be held in Lon
don, commencing July Sd, 1872. This is an
effort largely promoted by that indefatigable
humanitarian, DR.. E. @. Wines, of New York
City, known for his good works to many Of our
readers. We have just received pamphlet re-
port of the proceedings of a meeting held to
further the movement in New York, last month,
at which Governor Seymour presided, and an
Executive Committee was appointed The mem
bers of this committee, for Delaware, are Gov
ernor Ponder, DR., H. f. Askew, Col Benjamin
Nields, Edward Belts, Esq, and Mr.. George c.
Maris.
1t is especially urged that delegates, interested
in behalf Of the noble and worthy objects of
preventing and repreasing Crime, be sent
from this State to the Congress at London, and
that our members Of the Executive Committee
should see to thematter. 1t occurs to us that il
they cannot readily send proxies, any of them
selves will htly represent us. We do not know
how they stand on the Pillory and Whipping.
Post but il they favor the retention Of those
penal methods, they might be able to present
some views to the Congress on the subject, which
would challenge attention from the distinguished
sauans who will be gathered there. Who O
them-or will they all-arrange to go to Lon
don, in July?

THE SITUATION NOT DESPERATE.
[From the N. Y. Times.l
Our dispatches from Washington plainly ind-
cate in the first place that our Government has
not despaired Of an amicabe settlement OF our
differences with Great Britain, through the in
strumentality Of arbitration; and, in the second
place, that definite attempt is to be made 10
secure favorable termination Of the dispute.
These facts will be welcome to the country,
We have already pointed out that this is emf.
nentiy case for careful treatment and this our
Government will give it.
THE PATRIOTISM OF THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
[From the y. Y. Tribunel
The struggle of the French people with the
vast load of debt which the war left on their
shoulders will always be counted among the
heroic and touching passages of history. The
sacrifices Of the masses who are endeavorinp 10
raise money to pay the German indemnity and
the liberal subscriptions which have poured in
from all classes OF society, prove how much of
passion with the French are their patriotism
and hatred of foreign rule. 1t may be that the
attempt to wipe out this vast amount by popular
contributions is Quixotic but none can read tile
stroy OF the strained effort of the people, as told
IN our Paris correspondence, without a feeling
OF fraternal sympathy with these self-denvine

About this time the elevator had started,
