The German Crisis.


This practical acquittal of Count Arnim Of
any charge affecting his honor as nobleman
and the menace addressed by the German
Parliament to Prince Bismarck for his action
in arresting Herr Majunke show the presence
of serious crisis in German politics-a
and grows more and more serious. The
question seems to be imminent whether Ger
many is to be governed in the interests of the
German nation or for the ambition OF the
house of Hohenzollern whether in fact the
long cherished and loudly vaunted policy of
German unity is to be abandoned for that
spirit of Junkerism which Bismarck brought
into power twelve years ago, and which is
simply carrying into effect the legends Of Frede-
rick the Great This is the true view of the pres
ent crisis. When Bismarck came into power he
said trankly-with frankness that was quite
prophetic -'that the great questions of the day
were not to be decided by speeches and
majorities, but by blood and iron" The
result was the three wars which have marked
his premiership and the rule of an Emperor
who takes every occasion to pray in public for
peace. "Blood and IRON are fearful influ-
ences; but they have done their work we'll.
The Schleswig duchies have returned to Ger
many. Austria has been driven out Of the
German Confederation, the Kingdom of Han
over has been destroyed, the practical unity
of the German people has beoh attained, the
old duchies of Elsass and Lothringen have

many, and upon the brow of the descendant
of an Elector of Brandenburg rests the crown
of Charlemagne.
How can we call the land where an ambas-
sador is prosecuted and member of Parlia-
ment imprisoned for an opinion q land Of
liberty? Germans may well ask these ques-
tions, for they are brave, free, loyal people.
They may well ask whether the end Of these
achievements of ''blood and iron" is
to make Germany part Of Prus-
sia, and the stern, IMPLYING, absolute
Prussian system the highest measure Of Ger
man freedom. If united Germany is to mean
the application of this system to all the States
of the Empire, then better far that unity had
never been achieved, for there can be no true,
harmonious, lasting unity based on blood and
iron. We do not see how the system can con-
tinue. Already Bismarck has met with two
checks. There is virtue enough in German
court of law to decline to be the vassal of an
angry, ambitious Minister seeking to punish
rival There is pride enough in German
Parliament to resent the arbitrary interference
of Minister with the sovereignty of repre-
sentative The contest will not end here. We
are on the eve of what seems to be grave
issue in German affairs
The New York herald., 1874-12-25

Mr. HENRY NJ. WATTERsoN, of the Louisville
Courier journal, complains, in letter to his
newspaper. that the great difficulty about the
democrats, members of the new Congress
especially, is ''the absence of men of brains
from the delegations" We are inclined to
think this is true. The fact that no democrat
as yet had foresight enough to force the one
term idea upon the attention OF the republican
majority shows extraordinary incapacity OF
the leaders Of the party or the relations OF the
victorious democracy to the people.

taught US that charity which is love, is the
chiefest of virtues. Let us so accept it in our
intercourse with all whose lives tall acrdss our
own; in our judgment Of one another and OF
our public affairs; in magnanimity. patisnce
and candor. Above all, let us show to those
who are unfortunate, who suffer and are
weary laden, that We can give them sympathy
and aid. Around us is world filled with
misery and sorrow. There are those who
tripped and fallen, who are in sore distress
the beggar at the gate the outcast on the high
way the prisoner in the cell. Let us espe-
cially remember them. Let this be the day of
the kind heart and the open hand. There is
no one in this great city, no matter how poor
by doing some kind, generous, charitable
deed So far, therefore, as it is in our power
we should aid the needy and the
wretched 1t is not enough to make good
Christmas to remain at home and carve the
turkey and romp with the children, as with
big wondering eyes they look upon the
imaginable splendors that Santa Claus has
Drought IN single night. Blessed are
these opportunities and beautiful he
legends which inspire them, and innocent
and pure the childhood dreams that
are SO easily satisfied But our higher
duties lie beyond-in the outer world among
the wretched to whom this Christmas snow
brings hunger and disease, and whose sorrows
are only Knocked by the gladdening chimes
that ring out on the morning air. Let every
one no matter how modest and limited in
station, remember that Christmas brings the
uttermost felicity to those who celebrate it by
good words and good deeds, by especially
giving succor to the needy and the wretched.
And with this as our lesson for the day we
wish every reader Of the HERALD the merriest
of holidays, the happiest Of New Years to
come after and all the blessings and joys that
may come with this gracious and hallowed
time.

The SINKING FUND SECURITIES. Es.-Some days
ago, when the Commissioners of Accounts re-
moved by Mayor Havemeyer were restored to
Office by Mayor Vance, the Comptroller offered
a resolution at a meeting OF the Sinking Fund
Commissioners requesting the Mayor and
Chamberlain to examine the Sinking Fund
securities. Mayor Vance very properly, as
we think, declined to make such an examina-
ton, on the ground that it was not desirable
that the Commissioners Of the Fund should
perform the duty of examiners of its securi-
ties He directed the Commissioners OF
Accounts to make the desired investigation.
The Chamberlain appears to have regarded
the matter in different light, and proceeded
to perform the duty alone. He reports that
the securities are all right. OF course his GER
tifcate amounts to nothing, and the examina-
ton by the Commissioners of Accounts will
proceed But it would have been in better
taste if Chamberlain Lane had followed the
example Of Mayor Vance.

THE New CITY BUDGET for the forthcom-

Board of Apportionment. Nine million
three hundred thousand dollars were APP

on the city debt after significant demurs on
the part OF the Mayor and Alderman Flana-
gan, who expressly threw the responsibility of
increased taxation consequent upon the above
figures on the shoulders of Comptroller
Green.

RAPID TRANsu.-The experience of two
days during the present week has served to
intensity the desire i'll the public mind that
some early steps should be taken toward the
accomplishment of rapid transit. The new
constitutional amendments, it is anticipated,
will rather aid than obstruct' such an enter
prise, and the approaching change in the
State apd city administration encourages the
hope that something may be done at last for
the relief of the people. When the dead
weightAan obstructive and reckless financial
policy-is removed all property will improve
and there will be more activity in business.
With renewed life and energy will come re-
stored confidence, and that alone is needed to
make rapid transit certainty. 1t will be q
lasting glory to the administrations of Gov
ernor Tilden and Mayor Wickham if during
their terms of Office New York should secure
a rapid transit road.

Removal from once OF the Commits
sioners of CHARITIES and Correction.


sioners OF CHARITIES and Correction.
Mayor Vance, during his short term of
Office, seems determined on vigorous action.
Yesterday he removed from Office the Com
missioners Of Charities and Correction and
appointed their SUCCESSORS. The ex-boss of
the metropolis, William NJ Tweed, who has
been in retirement tor some time past on
BlackwelPs Island was the cause of this
removal. The peculiarly mild treatment
which he has undergone during his term of
seclusion in the Penitentiary-:so different
from that which is allotted to lesser crimi-
nals-ca1ed forth significant rumonstrance
from Governor Dix. The death of Mayor
Havemeyer, to whom the Governors letter
was addressed, placed the responsibility OF
the desired investigation on the shoulders of
his successor. Mayor Vance has acted with
admirable judgment, and in his communica-
tons to the Governor and to the Mayor elect,
which we publish to-day he states his reasons
for the removal of the Commissioners in
calm, logical manner, giving proofs of their
delinquency in the performance of their duties
that are calculated to carry conviction to the
mind Of every citizen.
