Berlin, May 26-The Ministerialst con
tinues to comment on the French crisis, and
says q: France, ruled by the Vatican, is the
center of the Papal system which threatens
the worlds peace and is preparing crusade
against Germany. A disturbance OF the peace
is inevitable should France continue the
course she has now taken.
These mutterings bode no good to the peace
of the two nations Indeed the existing peace
is not a peace, but truce, merely. The old
grudge between the Germans and the French
is as hot now as it when Bonaparte
smashed the Teutonic power in Europe and
Haunted the eagles of Austerlitz When the
Germans were about to invade France seven
years ago, as we are reminded by NJ. Auguste
Vacquerie, the King of Prussia declared sol
EMMY that he did not make war against
France but against the Emperor. OF course
if this was said, (Which we have the right to
doubt), it was said i'll order to dampen any
outburst of patriotism which any of the anti
Napoleonic elements Of France might feel at
the sight of German soldiers upon the soil OF
their native State. But all such dsavowals
cut DOlH ways Inc overthrow OF NaDOlcOu
may have honestly been King Williams pur-
pose but the Teutons were stimulated to the
fine frenzy of war at the thought of victory
over their traditional foes. Germany was
aroused to the fighting pitch at the thought
of an opportunity to win back Alsace and Lor
raine and set up the Prussian standard upon
the turrets of the Tuileries. There are two
indictments to 1.-The next war" These are
the irrepressible conflict between Ronanism
and the Protestant power of Germany, and
the quenchless thirst Of the French people to
resent the humiliatons Of the German occu-
pancy and retrieve their lost reputation as
men at arms. Catholicity needs the fighting
of battles whose triumphs shall be her tri-
umphs and whose glories shall rebound to
Mother Church. If France is able to cope on
terms of equality with Germany there is
promise of the restoration of the temporal
power to the Holy See AS near as may be, |
a war between France and Germany will array
the Catholic power of Europe to the side of
the former England is neutralized by the |
momentous events of the East Austria has |
the old feud to keep alive her attitude of
dangerous neighbor to the German Empire !;
and Free Italy, weak and suffering from dis
sentions is the only direction to which the
Kaiser might look for an ally.

THE PERILS OF EARLY RISING.

! The dangers of venturing out in the morn
ing before the day is properly aired are set
forth by the Reveille as follows;
prominent citizen who had fallen into
the habit of lying III bed till late hour of the
morning, made up his mind to turn over d
new leaf He told his wife that it was a
shame for a man IN the prime of life to be
wasting the most beautiful hours of the day
in bed, and gave her injunctions to awaken
him at o clock the following morning and to
insist upon his arising and to be sure not to
let him fall asleep again. Then he pictured
in glowing colors the beauties of the morning,
how he would 90 forth from the house and
take morning walk among the sweet-smell-
ing sagebrush and drink in the pure, health
giving morning air, and listen to the music of
the BIRDS and come home vigorous and re.
freshed, with that appetite for his breakfast
which only healthful exercise can give. Next
morning his wife awakened him promptly on
time. ''Thunderation, can't you let fellow
sleepE he growled, as he turned over for an
other snooze. His wife was not to be dis
couraged, and persevered in her efforts to
arouse him, reminding him of his directions
gwen the evening before After cOnsidera-
bic y0wning and stretching and growing, the
citizen managed to Get up and dress himself
LLGn he SLdIICu out LUi Ills walk W hen lie
got to the first saloon he concluded to 60 i'll
and take cocktail a man needed some little
when he broke over old habits and
got up SO early. Just one cocktail and not
another drop before breakfast When he got
inside the saloon two men were engaged in an
argument on the Eastern question, in which !
he became 50 interested that he forgot all |
about his walk until it was time to 60 home to |
breakfast, and every time one of the dispu- |
tants would get the best of the argument, he |
would treat the house. When the citizen |
got home the breakfast was cold, his legs I'M
steady and his voice thick, and he spoke to |
hja wife with a Russian accent. When she .
asked him how he had enjoyed his walk, and
if he didn't know that breakfast was cold and
what made him look and act so queerly, he
said: BIN gagged in a nanimated scushion er
Rooshin war and tookernextracocktailer
His wife was surprised at the facility with
which he had learned a foreign language, but
expressed herself in effect that early rising
md walks before breakfast were not as CON
lucive to health as lying in bed till breakfast

Of the placer mines Of Elko county, the
Tuscarcra Review informs us as follows
The placer mines in Eureka Gulch are
being worked vigorously, and will be as long
as water holds out The six men who are
working upon it are making good wages, and
opening their claim for more extensive
operations noxt Spring. Hydraulic pressure
will then be brought to bear upon the bank
As soon as the water gives out the boys will
lay their pipes and get ready for business.

And now it comes out that the Judge who
was victimized in New York, the other day, by
bunko sharpers is 0. c. Pratt 1t does not
seem possible. If we were a bunko sharper
we'd as soon think of inveigling the Barnegat
Light or the Custom House or the Marine
Hospital or a shot tower as Judge Pratt. He
is the very soul of finished dignity. He is
the result of West Point education, large
experience as Judge, lawyer and client, great
wealth and a self-complacency which is moth
ing short of the stupendous Every lawyer
and Judge, every department of clientage ami
even the jury benches and witness boxes of
the San Francisco Courts will breathe easier
The Achilles of impurturbable department
has confessed his heel. 1t seems like dream,
One would as soon think of seeing John Bid
we'll attempt a clog dance. We should like to
make the acquaintance of the bunko-man who
accomplished the Judges seduction. He
must be a great man and man of unfinch-
ing courage Also we should have liked to
see the Judge when the police bounced upon
him and his new made acquaintance We
will bet small harmless sum that those Off
GERS wished they had gone somewhere else.
He must have made them feel their degrade
ton. If anybody ever dared trife with Mr.
Pratt's dignity should fear the consequent
ces to himself of return to San Francisco
A less restraining presence would get laughed
at, But they wont laugh. The bar and the
bench and all litigants will just look at him
in dull wonder and amazement. He will |
shake out reef from the exhaustless stowage |
of his dignity, and there Will be no hilarity at
his expense. He has been proven a mere
mortal man, to be sure but to that New York
bunko dealer and not to any poor worm of a
San Franciscan is to be ascribed the glory of
his impairment.

Fortress Monroe, Va, May 26.-At the
closing exercises of the Hampton Normal and
Industrial School (colored) Mrs. Hayes, who
was one of the committee to award prizes,
gave an Independent prize of So to pupil
for composition entitled GA Temperance
Story" she deeming this the most meritori-
Gus essay, the balance of the committee hay
ing decided that the regular prize of So
should properly go to another pupil.
1t is evident from the foregoing that the
sympathies of the colored people of Virginia
are with Mrs. Hayes in her admirable efforts;
and that while she is banishing wine from
the White House they are not less courage
ously barring John Barleycorn from the door
of tbs Black House. We believe she contin-
ues to comb her hair so as to hide her ears.

In a recent letter to the Baltimore Ameri-

gave her daughter several thousand dollars to
invest for her in some safe and productive Sc

proved to be a fatal mistake, for i'll few
months the stocks became worthless and the
little fortune was lost A. soon as the daugh-
ter received the news SIC determined by her
own exertons to replace every cent of her
mothers money, and never let the dear old
lady know that it had been lost. She did
this with her pen, working early and late,
denying herself, securing the city and country
for information. And she accomplished the
task just as Harriet Martineau forced success
from the most adverse circumstances. That
woman was Jennie June" Croly herself.

Ex-Sherif James Thacker is the father of
one Of these boys.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
FACTS BEYOND CONTROVERSY.

70 the Editor Of me rrtbnne.
SIR: do not think that the following facts can
be disputed by any fair-minded man:
First In the words of the Constitution. leach
State shall appoint in such manner the Legislature
thereof may direct number of electors equal TO the
whole number Of Senators and Representatives to
which the State may be entitled in Congress-
Second: The State OF Louisiana is entitled to eight
electoral votes.
Third: 1t would have been legitimate and cOnst-
tutODa had the Legislature of that State appointed
by joint ballot this number of electors; or had it
authorized the Supreme Court or a board of COM
missioners, to appoint them.
Fourth The Legislature of fflis State. however,
deemed it proper 10 direct that they should be .ap
pointed by the qualified voters. at general election,
subject to the revision of tribunal whose decision
should be- final, which 1t had perfect right to do.
Fifth: The qualified voters of that State did ap-
point eight electors in strict conformity with " the
manner directed by Sbe Legislature thereof and
these electors. at the proper time and in the manner
prescribed by the Constitution of the United states
did east their votes for Gov. Hayes for President
and Mr.. Wheeler for Vicef'resident.
Now these facts being ndisputable, does any power
exist in the Constitution authorizing Congress, a
commission constituted by Congress, or any other
tribunal to say that these votes shall not be counted
If so, where are the words to be found. and what
are they
The only words in the Constitution in reference to
counting the electoral votes these The Pres-
dent of the Senate shall, in the presence of the
Senate and House of Representatives. open all the
certificates, and the votes shall then be counted"
What is meant by the word coun.ed"g 1t means
that the vote shall be "reckOned," numbered" Tor
the number ascertaincdD told y that is say, the
number of votes given to each candidate shall be
added up TO ascertain the regatr given. and
10 whom given, ana by such means to know whether
any one had received majority of votes of all the
electors appointed or not. Ii is matter of no
sequence by whom this list is made ont and the votes
added up 80 it is correctly done, and to insure that
aud that alone, the Constitution requires II to he
done in the presence of the two houses of Congress-
Is it possible that any man, with ordinary reason
ing power can so far deceive himself that IN these
few simple words, and the votes shall then be
counted is to be found constitutional grant of
power either express implied to refuse 20 recog-
mise the legal certificates. and to tnowout OF the
count votes given by the electors of state, III ac
corlance with the Constitution and the laws'
If this be sO then the right of the States, secured
to them by the Constitution, to participate in the
election Of President, is Kissing mocllery; the
states themselves are disiranchsrd; the CCGsttu-
ton itself mere Iope Of sand the Congress Is the
supreme despotic power, and the Republic Is ut an
