authority whatever TO elect w II. BARNuM
TO Mr.. HEwrrrs place. This act ought to be
rcbukcd at the first full meeting of the
Democratic National Committee.
Mr.. BARNUM il quite as heavy load for
the Democrats to carry as CHANDLER is
for the Republicans. KELLOGG and him
self, while they were opposing members
Of the lower House OF Connecticut, were in
strumcnta in getting the sewing machine
patents extended. As soon as Mr. BARNUM
got elected TO the Senate and the committees
were appointed, he got himself exchanged to
that of tho District Of Columbia and ope-
rated constantly with KETcHAM, one OF the
Ring Commissioners, in promoting job
berry. He introduced bill to legalize all
the acts Of Boss SHEPHERDS government,
which would prevent any legal redress
against its iniquities, and plumber the people
Of a million or more of dollars through GER
tiicatcs illegally issued and now held by n
band of spectators in this and other cities.
Through his manipulation the Oregon in
vcstigation was abruptly stopped, TO the
great wrong Of Mr.. TILDEN, who had every
thing to gain by a thorough and exhaustive
examination OF the charges made by his
opponents, though Mr.. BARNUM and some
of his associates were not in the same
category. BY bargain, discrcditablo TO
both sides, the BLAINE investigation was
dropped at the last session, and Mr.. BARNUM
was the active spirit in efIecting that ar
rangement.
Between CHANDLER and BARNUM there Is
little TO choose. They both belong to the
same school of politicians. They both
believe in the use of money as political
factor, and, though both claim to be liberal
givcrs their private accounts, il strictly
ovcrhaulcd. would probably exhibit no loss
that has not been repaired. 1t will not do
for the Democrats to profess reform aud
rctrcnchmcnt and keep at the head Of their
National Committee u man who is a contra
dictiOn of both.

Parties in the German Parliament.


Parties in the German Parliament.
The present and third Rcichstag, which,
on the 10th Of last January, was chosen for
three years, displays Il strange complexity
u political subdivisions not to be parallcled
in any other country of Europe.
If we should seek to illustrate the dstri-
button of parties by a comparison with the
French Chamber Of Deputies We might say
that the National Liberals and Government
Conservatives represent the Left Centre.
the so-callcd Old Conservatives the Right
Centre, and the Ultramontancs the Right;
while on the extreme Right would be placed
the Polish. Alsacan, and Danish Deputies.
In like manner the Progrcssists at Berlin
correspond in some sort TO the Left, and the
Socialistic Democrats TO the extreme Leftat
Versailles. But such Il comparison is super
iicIal, and ignores fundamental distinc-
ton. In the French Legislature members
diner in regard to the proper form of gov
eminent and upon matters Of internal poll
ley, but they are unanimous in wishing the
territorial and political integrity of their
country. In German politics, on tho other
hand, it Is not the form Of government, but
the very existence of the State, which. by
certain factions, il called in question.
The special mission, for instance. Of the
Polish Danish, and Alsacian deputies is to
protest against the authority OF the assem-
bly, in which they sit. 1t must be owned
that the Poles have not learned from ex-
pcricncc to rejoice at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
their German masters, aud, indeed. BIS
