The Ccrmnn hallway Question.

The lntest project of Prince BISMARCK
aims at nothing less than the acquisition
by the German Empire OF all the railway
hines within its territory. This means
purchase OF fifteen thousand miles OF track
NJ price va iOusly estimated from twelve
hundred aud nifty TO two thousand mil
Hons OF dollars.
On the 18th OF March tho initial step was
taken by the Introduction In the Prussan
Chamber OF Deputies OF n bill authorizing
the Prusslan Ministry TO negotiate with
tho Imperial Government for the roads
owned by the State, aud for the cession of
its rights and Interests IN other lines con-
trolled by private companies. In other
words, BISMARCK, as head OF the Prussian
Cabinet, Ia to be empowered to transact
this weighty business with BISMARCK.
Chancellor OF the German Empire. II
this bill Is passed by the PTussian Cham
bers, the ultimate success of the scheme in
the Reichstag Is considered certain. 1t Is
worth while TO glance at the arguments
Tor aud against a measure which may In
volve momentous consequences for Ger
many, and become precedent, or o warn
mg 10 other countries.
There is no doubt that the present or.
EAnzatlon OF German railways offers
abundant ground of complaint. The polit

siuded the creation of a uniform system

Ing for Its members his close friends, and
the men most interested in clearing him
from reproaoh. lie was represented by
council, who croes-cxamlned the witnesses
against him. but his accuscrs were not sur
fer,d to use the sumo privilege. Ostens!-
bly, seeking the bottom facts, this committee
only SKINNED the surface of the inquiry,
aud then reported that he was M sound as
n nut. On the night when this report was
read, the church partisans OF this man
mobbCd one of his accusers, and drove
him out of the building in which they
were convened. Then he went before the
G. aud Jury of his city and swore out in
diotments against his two accusers; but
when it became necessary to try these in-
dictments, he declined to prosecute, mean
time having been driven to meet civil
suit brought Ivy one of them. In that suit
he failed to convince the jury that he did
not pcrjure himself when he denied the
charges against him and as for tho public,
more people believed him guilty after his
oath than before he took II. Yet he loud
ly proclaimed that he was satisfied with
the result.
Next, he set about 10 drop from his
church the lady who had sworn to his
confessions, not on the ground that she had
sworn falsely, but because she refused to
take tho communion ut the hands OF the
minister she had sworn WAS an adultcror
aud denounced rs II pcIjurer. Then he pre-
vented her getting n council TO try the
case, In the appointment of which she
should have an equal voice, and called

tirely right and proper, and defended It in
the council and outside. No wonder DR..

has such low views OF the requirements OF
the ministerial Office and such miscoucep-
tion OF justice. IL cur youth nre 10 be
taught in accordance with such ideas, they

Prof. TIMOTHY DWIGHT, another instruc-
tor Mt Yale, has taken many hours rom
his professional duties to defend this GRIM
mated and cowardv minister. He is his
thick and thin supporter, and resorts to
the same sort OF casuistry as that employed
by his superior to argue away the truth,
and to supplement the efforts OF the tricky
