toned gentleman. If so, egotism,
domination, selfshness and vanity
must form the principle constituents.
Such being must he very sensi-
tive; and il sensitive, the chagrin
of this high-toned German, just at
this writing, cannot be very iniini-
tesimal. His high-toned estimate
ofhis own GREATNESS, grandeur and
glory," lead him without hesitation,
to arrogate within the purview OF
his own controlling the entire Ger
man influence of the country. His
capacious pocket had but to be
opened, and the German ballot
would pour in unstintedly, for him
to pour out at his own pleasure, or
caprice. However, this tremendous
wind-bag which he has blowed up
for himself, is being punctund very
rapidly, and if he does not perceive
the gas escaping, every body else
does. Mr.. Hessing, the leader OF
the German Republicans Of the
Northwest, gives the bag an effect
ual cut, when he says: II do be-
lieve he (>churz) is making a very
great mistake in opposing the Adj
mnlistration in the manner III which
he does. We cannot afford to be
delivered over to the Democracy,
which | believe will be the final re-
suit of the course he is pursuing.
That has been our opinion. | do
not mean to say that | think that
will be the final result of his course,
but merely that thatis the tendency
of what lie is doing"
This was published in the col
umns of the Ti5aac. This, how
ever. is a "mild-mannered" cut in
comparison with the tearing rip,
rent in tie bag by the Westtiche
Post, ole Of the most able and in.
tiuential journals III the country,
which is published at st. Louis.
That Journal recently had this item: :
"a Coon ANswER.-A Among
eighty answers toa prize question
of the Lyceum at Athens, towlt;
Who is TIE meUneSt .telIo'c? Gas
per AItimer vol the prize by the
following definition; HE who, m-
der the mask of a friend, insinuates
himself into tie confidence of a
certain party, discovers its secrets,
family affairs and sores, and then
makes a weapon Of them in
order to keep in check that party
which gave him its full conti-
dence.'"
The "unkindest cut ofall," how
ever, and one which seems to our
thinking to let that wind-bag Of
cgotism and assumption down to
the limpness Of shirt on a bean
pole, was received, by his high
toned excellency, while on the
French Arms committee. He was
there asked to translate an editorial
from a German paper printed in
Berlin, which heacknowledged was
the official organ Of the German
Government. The editorial set
forth, "by authority" that the Ger
man Government "takes no inter
est, or at most a negative one, in the
question Mr.. Sumner has brought
before the American Senate" In
other words, the German Govern.
ment has no complaint to urge
against the American Government
for permitting arms to find their
way into the French nation, and
has no words of thanks to offer
Schurz, or anybody else for trying
to kick up a fuss between the two
nations.
