The Baltimore Gazette says: "Therc is not

the breaking into the house Of Count Won Ar
MIN, in Germany, aud the seizure of his papers,
although the act was doue by order of a Court
of competent jurisdiction. The act is charac-
terizcd as high handed proceeding, an out
rage, and Bismarck is despatched with all sorts
of names for supposed completely IN 1t, when,
10 reality, as far as we can see, he had nothing
to do with it further than instituting suit
against the Count. Its wonderful what clear
insight Into constitutional rights little distance
gives. While our Republican papers are vent
ing their wrath on Bismarck and the tyraunical
German Government, actions far more dcspotic
are taking place without word uttered 10 con-
demuation, under their very eyes, and among
their fellow-citizens, ard by orders Of their own
administration.

two candidates for Congressional honors. Two

tons, and each claiming to be the legal gather
ing of representatives. of the Republicans of the
district. Both conventions met at noon at diff
fercnt places, and after the usual preliminary
business, proceeded regularly to work, the re-
suit Of which was the nomination by one of
j. Amber Smith, the present incumbent in
Congress, and by the other OF Rush Burgess,
Collector 0! United States Internal Revenue.
The latter, as heretofore reported was nominal

cations both caNdidatcs will enter The contest,

The Newark Advertiser, a strong Republi-

term THE proposed third term would be a
violation of precedent which would defeat itself,
unless it could be shown to the voting people
that we are 10 some grave and perilous emer-
gency, and that the safety Of the country de-
ponds upon the continuance of some one man
in power. Even In such stress, so strong and
50 healthful is the argument Of the precedent
established by Washington, that the propriety
of third term would be severely questioned
even in the face of "a new rebellion or other
frarful crisis. Upon this point the sentiment
Of the people is clear and decided"

A HARD CAsE.-There is now, and has
been for nearly year past, confined in the
Jail of this county, an insane white woman,
whose condition is most pltabe, and APP
peaIs loudly to the humanity Of our State
authorities for redress. Repeated applica-
tionss we understand, have been made to
both the Asylums in Virginia to take charge
of her; but poor, ircndless, and hopelcssy y,
insane, the response has ever been mo room. .
The mental condition Of the unfortunate crca-
ture whose case we arc considering is such as
to require close and constant confinement
These she is afforded in her present quarters,
but from the necessity o. things she
can receive nothing more,--and although
our humane jailor does all in his power to
render her as comfortable as circumstances
will allow, yet hi, best efforts are iruiters, and
her real condition, could it be published to the
world, would shock the scDsibitlcs OF every
viruous mlud.
The matter will at an early day be brought
to the attention of the court by the committee
charged with the examination of the Jail which
we hope will lead to some steps for the lmme-
date amcIoration of the condition of this most
unfortunate woman - LoW}Om -WIr0r.
