A Scene i'm the ReichStag.

With steadily increasing swiftness Germany
is approaching period of internal conflict
the logical result of Bismarck's policy. The
bitter feeling which exists in Alsace and Lor-
raine and in Bavaria was expires sed on the 4th
inst, in the Reichstag, and eliminated in q
debate which reminds US of the most exciting
scenes in the American Congress So many
startling events have not often been crowded
into a single session Of the Reichstag.
The announcement Of Prince Bismarck
that the legation to the Vatican would be
withdrawn, the declaration of the Deputies
from Alsace and Lorraine that they could no
longer serve ON the committee on the budget
for those conquered provinces, the denuncia-
ton of Bismarck by Herr Joerg, and the re-
markable speech the Prince made in reply,
show how deeply the lines of division are to
be drawn. 1t is a struggle for supremacy,
and Bismarck finds the opposition stronger
and more united than he expected.
He defended himself on the 14th inst. with
an energy and boldness remarkable even in
him. While he did not say that the Church
party approved of Kullmanns attempt to as
sassiuate him, he declared that Kullmann was
inspired by his devotion to that party. He
put the church under the patronage Of muir
derer. HE hangs on tightly to your coat
tails, he said to Herr Joerg. 1t is no wonder
that such taunts were followed by tumult in
the Assembly, and it is certain that the pro-
ceedings yesterday will increase the hostility
to Bismarck throughout the Empire.

Stones Of Size.

FROM the new 1Ork hepuDlcJ
Some of the blocks of granite used in the
construction of the Treasury building at
Washington are the largest ever moved in this
country, and they were all carried from the
eastern part of Maine. They were transport
ed to Washington by water, and, after thei,
arrival there, moved by ox-power upon a sort
of double-pulley system, a distance OF two
miles, to the spot where they were wanted for
use The work of moving them was per-
formed, with comparative ease, and more
employed to move block weighing more than
seventy tons.
The futed pillars, great numbers of which
are used in the building, are forty feet long,
and weigh fifty tons at least The largest
blocks, thirty or forty feet square and three
feet thick, weighed upward Of seventy tons.
The facility with which these large blocks
were moved and fixed in Itheir places was a
source of wonderment, and seemed to adj
miring spectators to be the perfection OF me-
chanical skill and ingenuity. And yet how
insignificant the achievement when compared
with the triumphs OF ancient art.
In the foundation of the great Temple of
the Sun at Balbec may still be seen, even in
the second course, stones which are thirty
seven feet long and nine feet thick; and under
these. about twenty feet from the ground,
three stones which alone occupy. one hundred
and eighty-two feet in length by twelve feet
high. These three stones are estimated to
weigh 900 tons each. But we read of an
Egyptian idol-temple, Buris, far SURPRISING
this in which there was sanctuary imposed
of single block of granite sixty feet square.
This is the largest and heaviest stone men,
toned in the history Of nations.

A GREAT HUNTING SCHEME.
[From the Forest and Stream. December 3

lFrom the Forest and Stream, December 81
grand hunting expedition is now in pro-
cess OF organization in the West. The pro
lector and organizer of this expedition is Col.
w. Z. McCarty,sa gentleman whose expert
ence as n soldier and huntsman extends over
three continents. According to what we can
| learn, he has been importuned at various
times during the last three years by some
| English gentlemen to undertake an expedi-
ton that should be complete in all its APP
polntments. for the purpose of chasing the
wild animals SO numerous in the West and
Southwest.
The programme rs now prepared is that
hunting party, consisting of one hundred
gentlemen and their servants, horses and
dogs, is to leave England the first week in
May, and after visiting New York ard vi
cinity. go to Chicago, the headquarters of
the organization, where they will be Joined
by several American sportsmen. From this
place they will go to Dallas. Texas the gen
eral rendezvous. and here they will be rein
forced by one hundred Texas rangers. who
have been engaged for the entire trip. and
by sixty Tonkawa Indians, whose duty it
will be to herd the large game while the
others pursue it, and to give exhibitions of
dances and customs prevalent among the
children of the boundless prairies.
When the organization is completed the
expedition will move to Northern Texas, and
there engage in the pursuit OF the deer and
antelope with hounds.
Texas being done, the party will cross into
Colorado, and emerging at Denver. will take
the Transcontinental Railroad to California,
thence proceed to Oregon and Washington
Territory. All the game animals OF the Pa
citic coast will be assailed in succession. but
special attention will be given to the grizzly
bear and ponderous elk. Every place hav-
ing any scenic attractions will be visited, so
that the trip may be as complete as possible
As soon as the summer wanes the party
will return to Kansas to enjoy fall hunting
among the bufaloes, prairie chickens and
other game, and after this exercise all will 60
to the great lakes and enjoy what fishing and
hunting they and their vicinity can afford.
On their return from this classical region they
will visit Washington, thence return to New
York and England, arriving home about the
middle of December.
For fear OF any mishap the expedition will
be complete in every detail, SO that it will
be its own colnmissary aud protector in case

THE PRESS OF DURELL.
From the Springfield Mass Republic

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
Durell having at last had the grace-or
shall we say prudence TO resign his Judg-
ship, we shall probably hear little OF nothing
more from that impeachment. de Is de-
scribed as a perfect wreck. His accomplices,
Collector Casey and Marshal Packard, still
"stick." Kellogg also g sticks, but ne Is
reported very nervous and half-'a-nlno 10 1ol-
low Durelrs example.
From the New York Times (Republican).1
Mr.. Durell's resignation OF the office OF
United States District Judge which he has
so long disgraced is practically confession
of Judgment He is accused OF various
crimes committed while he held position
which ought to be above reproach and above
suspicion. The otfenses charged against
him were various: they embraced the greater
ones of an abuse Of his large powers us a
Federal Judge for political purposes, and
corrupt administration of his functions, to
the pec,lniary benefit of certain favored in
dividuals.
1t is too late for him to remedy the wrong
which he did to Louisiana by any tardy con-
fession or contrition. The evil he did will
live after hun and his reluctant action, lust
on the threshold of the session Of Congress
that would have impeached him, is small re-
paration for the mischief of his administra-
ton. His resignation will, of course be ac-
cepted and the universal regret will be that
it comes too late to have any other effect than
that OF death-bed confession.
[From the st. Louis Mmes.l
The resignation OF Judge Durell under the
circumstances is tacit confession on the part
OF the Administration of the grossest abuses
in Louisiana The public sentiment Of the
country had imperatiyely demanded the i'm
parchment Of man, who. by usurpation,
fraud and I'M Justice procured the overturning
Of the government OF State. 1t is wei
known that in these acts he had the secret if
not open approval Of the Executive and the
Republican majority in Congress,
His impeachment would have brought Ill
these matters to light, and fixed the respon-
sibility for the fearful scandal Of the Louisiana
outrage where it properly belongs If there
was no understanding-no secret urgency for
this condition of things-at Washington, if
the hands Of the administration were clean on
Louisiana affairs it was the imperative duty of
the President to have declined to have re-
ceived the resignation OF Judge Durell until
an open and fair investigation by Congress had
traced the Louisiana iniquity to its source.
While congratulating Louisiana on an escape
from corrupt and partisan judge, we cannot
help regrettiny that the carpet-baggers have
succeeded in avoiding an honest lnvestiga-
ton
