THE GERMAN MILITARY.-Anybody
that loves the military will get his 6'l Of it
in Germany. The huge cassrnss which
mark every city, the prevalence Of uni
forms, the jingling Of spurs and swords
in every public room, the drills and
parades, the sentinels, remind you thHtyou
are among the most successful warriors Of
modern times. The people grunble un-
ceasingly at the incxorable service. but
are most proud of its results and the great
king who inaugurated it. The three years
discipline, with the opportunity afforded
to reduce them to one by previous study,
is an excellent education for most. Many
who would 90 stupid and thoughtless all
their days are awakened to pretty active
sense of existence and its requirements
when an inspector gets hold of them. The
penalties for any breech Of discipline are
sure, swift and severe A rusty button
or spot of mud means repentance in tho
guard-house, and in consequence yon see
no such dingy soldiers as those in France
The men learn not only how to handle arm,
and ride horse back, but by system OF
free gymnastics to use every joint and
NJ uscle in the body. The officers are un
doubtedly selected with some view to size
many of them tremendous fellows-and
go to convince you that the old race o.
giants, who lived here in former tin es :

THE SECRET OF GRANTS NOMINATIONS
FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.

Washington Correspondence of the Graphic.
In one thing do Williams and Gushing
agree-that is, in being the intimate
friends, associates and counsel Of Jay
Cooke. Williams, as an Oregon lawyer,
has been and is largely interested in the
Northern Pacific Railroad. Gushing has
been the confidential counsel to Jay Cooke
since the rise of the latter to wealth. 1t
would seem very likely that in any case
affecting the estate of Jay Cooke, or the
estate of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
it would be a good thing to have a CHIEF
Justice who would do these interests full
Justice. This will explain why neither
Evarts, nor PierrepOnt, nor Hoar, nor
Curtis, nor any of the great lawyers OF
the country have been called to this high

her rehabilitation, and involved nothing
affirmative or negative beyond that event.
If it we're express and unequivocal, the
result wonld be the same. Congress can
not, by authorization or ratification give
the SLIGHTEST effect to state law OF con-
stitution in conflict with the Constitu-
tion of the United States. That instru-
ment is above and beyond the power of
Congress and the States, and is alike OBJ
ligatory upon both. A State can no more
impair an existing contract by constitu.
tional provision than by a legislative act;
both are within the prohibitions of the
national constitution.
The legal remedies foEthe enforcement
of a contract, which belong to it at the
time and place where it is made, arc a
part of its obligation. A State may change
them provided the change involved no
impairment of subtantial right. IF the
nroyision of the constitutinn, or the legis-
lature of a State, fall within the category
last mentioned, they are to that extent
utterly void. They are, for all the pur-
poses of the contract which they impair,
as void as if they never had existed The
constitutional provision and statute here
in question, are clearly within the catego-
ry. and are therefore void. The jurisdic-
tional prohibitionjwhich they contain with
respect to the courts of the State can,
therefore, form no impedimcnt to the
plaintiff in error in the enforcement of
his rights touching this Judgment, as those
rights are recognized by this court. White

The UHLANs The Uhlans light cavalry
are of Asiatic origin, and were first intro.
duced in the north of Earope along with
the colonies of Tartars, who established
themselves in Poland and Lithuanis.
They were mounted on light active Tar.
tar horses, and armed with sabre, lance,
and latterly with pistols. Their lance
was Eve and half to six and halt
feet in length and like that of modern
"lancers," }" was attached TO stout leather
thong or cord, which was fastened to the
left shoulder, and passed round BE-
hind the back, SO as to allow the lance to

mediately below its point was attached a
strip of gaudy-colored cloth, the husterlng
of which was designed to frighten the
enemies horses. The early dress was
similar to that of the Turks, and the rsgi-
ments, or polls, were distinguished from
each other by the red, green, yellow. OF
blue color Of their uniforms. The Aus
triaus and Russians were the first 70 bor-.
row this species of cavalry from the Poles.
In 1743, an attempt was made to introduce
the Uhlans into France, and a polk OF one
thousand men was formed but it was y
banded at the authors death. At tho
present time, Russia, Prussia and Aus
tria are the only powers which possess Oh'

William Allen, Governor of Ohio.

William Allen was born in Edenton,
Chowan county, at the head of Albemarle
Sound, North Carolina, in the year Of
1907, and is now sixty seven fage.-more
than one year the junior of Judge Swayne,
of the Supreme Court He was by the
death of both father and mother left an
orphan in his infancy. His parents were
poor.
Aliens sister, elder by many years than
he. was married to Pleasant Thurman,
and they were living at Lynchburg, Va.
where their only son, Allen G. Thurman,
was born. They had, l think three dnugh-
ters, but one of whom is living, Pleasant
Thurman had been originally possessed OF
means, but by becoming surety was rem
dered poor. He was not a man of more
than ordinary intellect or energy. but he
was still "the noblest work of God-an
honest man" This reputation he bore
through life, and has left behind him as
an inheritance to his children and remem-
brance to others. He lived and died
membe. and exhorter of the Methodist
Church. To Mrs. Thurman both her
brother and son are more indebted than to
any other person for their advancement in
the world.
When the son Allen G. was but four
wears old his father and mother removed
from Lyuchburg, Va. to Chillicothe, OHIO,
where they resided until their death, aud
where the son lived until his election to
the Supreme Bench in 1852. William
Allen remained at Lynehburg, supporting
himself, working. believe, as sadlel's
apprentice, until he was about sixteen
wears of age. He then collected together
his worldly goods, tied them in handker-
chief. and set out on foot to seek the home
of his sister in Ohio.
After taking up his residence in Chilli
cothe, at which place he has ever since re-
sided, young Allen was by his sister placed
in the old Chillicothc Academy, where he
received his only real instruction from a
teacher.
Aliens sister. Mrs. Thurman, selected
and supervised his general reading. In
this he considers that he derived the great
est advantage.
Shortly after his election to the Senate
Mr.. Allen married Mrs Efie Coons, form
erly Macarthur. the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of General Dencan Nc

From the New York Sun.


If the Senate judiciary committee re-
main in any doubt respecting the case OF
George H. Williams, let them summon
Mr.. Gazaway B. Lamar, and ascertain from
him what lawyer of Washington made to
him the proposition that, on the payment
by him of $40 900 cash, the appeal to the
Supreme Court which the department Of
justice had interposed against the decision
of the Court of Claims ordering the pay
ment to Mr. Lamar Of 100000 or up
ward from the treasury, on ACCOUNT of cot
ton claims, should be withdrawn, and Mr.,
Lamar thus be enabled to obtain the
money. Having got the name of this law
yer from Mr.. Lamar, let the committee
then examine the lawyer with a view OF
ascertaining whether or no he was author
lied to make that proposition to Lamar
by Mrs. Williams, the wife ofthe attorney
general. If these inquiries arc conducted
with earnestness and judgment, the COM
mittee may possibly learn something in
structiye.
