A splendid pen painting of the great
diplomatists who recently gathered in Ber-
lin, with the object of saving Europe from
HER.LD's interesting special correspond
ence from the German capital, published
to-day The curtain has already fallen on
the scenes of the nom ntous Congress, but
the striking portraits of the actors in the
drama, supplied by our correspondent,
afford key, as it were, to results which
astonislfed the world. We see in the vel
vety tread and emotionless countenance
of the English Premier the explanation of
the secret negotiations with Russia and the
stealthy acquisition OF Cyprus. The
points of the final treaty are written in the
sketches OF Beaconsfeld and Salisbury, of
Gortschakoff, Ignatieff and Schouvaloff. of
Bismarck, of Corti and OF the English
Frenchman Waddington. We can almost
imagine that if this picture had been dis
played before our eyes previous to the
meeting of the Congress it would
have been easy to have foretold what
the end would be. Russia, with her
extreme demands, insisted on by the
great Prince with the bad legs, but secretly
we'll satisfied with the terms accepted by
her junior diplomatist; England creeping
on with the object of making something out
of the transaction if possible, and at least
of averting transparent humiliation; Aus
tria uneasy and jealous, but finding pru-
dence necessity; Italy angry, but bound
to keep the peace, and France indifferent.
AS we turn to the darker side Of our cor
respondents canvas and SEQ the good old
King at his palace window, crippled and
helpless from the woundsI inflicted by an
assassin, and hear the fdfnbiings of We
suvius, we recognize that there are other
dangers which threaten Europe besides
those of war between ambitious nations for
extended powers, and that the work of the
great Congress, although framed by master
hands, may, at almost any moment, be
dashed to pieces by the blow of anarchy.
May we not even discover, through the
gloom of the gathering cloud, the spectre
that bound the hands OF Germany and COM
PEELED peaceful denouement III the drama
of the Congress? Would the Chatham street
trade of Russia have been concluded but
for the pistols of Hoedet and Nobiling
1t is possible that to ADLER statesmen than
our own ex-President the conviction may
have come that Europe will see good
many republics before she has another en-
pire."

wh.r. TN. Good Men Are.

General Butler is reported to have said
that all the good men of the land are in the
new national" party. DEPRESSING only to
remark that this is why the said party is so
nearly invisible we felicitate the country
upon knowing at last where her good men
are. They have been SO securely hidden Of
late that when one of them accidentally ap-
peared, somebody or Gail Hamilton was sure
to mistake him for a monster OF iniquity
and begin to throw ink bottles at him. TO
learn the names of the members of this
party, goodness being the test, It is easier
to proceed by inversion, and first ascertain
who is not there. For instance, Senator
Conkling knows that neither President
Hayes, Ex-Governor Fenton, Collector Mer-
rift nor Naval Officer Burt arc within mill
ion miles of it, and the President knows
equally well that neither telescope, micro
scope nor spectroscope can detect trace
of Conkling there. The infitionists know
that Secretary Sherman is on the road TO
somewhere else, and Mr.. Blaine is sure that
no other man who wants the Presidency
dates his letters from the gathering place OF
the virtuous. Coming down to ordinary
democrats and republicans, and still using
goodness as the test, each man knows that
no member of the party opposed TO his own
can DO among the good men. But here a
little difficulty presents itself. II neither
republicans nor democrats are there, who
is? Can it DO possible that General Butler,
too modest to definitely asscr. his own
worth and whereabouts, took this delicate,
mis- sphinxian method of implying not only
that he himself is in the national" party,
but that he constitutes oil there is Of it?
