OF his travels About half the new books which appear
here are Of this character and OF the books
very DOOR The Rev DR.. Krummlcher OF BrandenbBrg
is one OF the distinguished Protestant cergymcn
in Germany. He Is popular preacher and learned
author theological works But does not seem TO
that his little volume Deutsches Leben in Norameka
fills any important literary yod, nor II the void actually
existed that hurried soiourn Of eight weeks could give
tne worthy pastor the means Of filling II. But that
thought seems TO have occurred 10 him. He goes
on writing about American affairs as conf-
dently as II he had spent years studying them
instead OF having shot in two months swiftly from one
point TO another without ever pausng long enough 10
inform himself even about facts. We Americans are
often accused OF superhciaty while the Germans are
the people Of Grundltehkeit German life III America
would be serious problem If all German Americans
were like the Brandenburg plstor-that Is to say II
their political and social conduct was governed by the
prncple from which his observations start He calmly
assumes state Of things between German and native
citizens somewhat like that between the TeutOnc ana
Gaic elements Switzerland stil more correctly,
like that between the Flemish and the French IN the
population OF Belgium. This assumption leads, OF
course, TO some novel views IL II be granted
that the Germans have rights In America as
Germans il there be national standard OF morals
usages IL there be no national language then DIR.
Krummacher quite right IN maintaining, as he seems
TO MAINTAIN, that his own countrymen wherever they
are in a majority, may impose their Will on the natives
His theories pushed their logical consequences, stop
short OF nothing that German majority anywhere may
choose TO bring from the society that they had
once presumably abandoned Some patriots on this
side Of the ocean show the growing ratio OF Ger
~ tha nth
rate among German families, the actual supremacy OF
the German element IN certain Western cities and from
these and other pregnant facts they draw enthusiastic
inferences or this class Dr. Krummacher s of the
most advanced and in this respect is quite unlike
his two colleagues in the Evangelical Alliance

THREE NEW INDICTMENTS AGAINST EX-COMMISSI0N-
ERs CHARLICK AND GARDNER.
The rumors which have agtated political
circles about the City Hall for the past week In regard
TO further proceedings against Messrs. Charlck and
GarLcr wero dednirey set at rest yesterday by the
aorion OF the Grand Jury The Jury entered the court
Of General Sessions at p IN, and presented three IN
dicrments against the convicted Police Commissioners
noteworthy point Is the TACT that 'he
name OF the late Commissioner, Henry smith Is
included among the Indicted. Tho indictments
are similar TO those which tho OK Com
mssioners We're convicted short time since. They
charge that the Commissioners, the third day OF
November, 1873, which not day OF registraloD'
revision Of registration election, did felonious ana
unawfuly remove James Walsh, inspector OF election
for the IXth Election District Of the XYlIth Assembly

District OF the XvIIIth Assembly District
aud John j. Crowley OF the xlVth Election
District OF the XvIIIth Assembly District. These n-
spector, were not served In writing with notice of
their alleged ofsnse For these the jury had
indicted Charck and Gardner OF misdemeanor IN
violating the provisions OF Section Is OF the Election
laws. Assistant DstrictAtorney Lyons said that the
Commissioners would probably have y indictments
AGAINST them for each Of tho election Inspectors
removed by them
Col. wlngate says that If Commissioner Davenport
chooses to proceed against him under the "Kuklux
