alterations and additions. His hand
writing is flowing and very legble,
the characters being clear, firm and
uniform. At this work he goes on
till 8 o'clock, when his official letters
are brought in and laid before him.
After reading these he proceeds to put
on his uniform and finish his toilet for
the day. At IL o'clock he hears the
daily reports Of his adjutants, and
then takes his luncheon, which is
generally of very simple character.
After this he is generally engaged in
his study till 2 o'clock. AT the stroke
of 2 the Divisional Chief of the great
General Staff appears and makes his
report for the day, the time he oc-
cupies varying according to circum-
stances. When this work is finished
the Count rs n general rule takes a
walk, and on returning home dimes
with the members of his family. His
favorite wine at dinner is Moselle.
After the principal meal of the day he
takes coffee and Il cigar in his study,
where the members Of his family or
friends generally find him ready to
engage in cheerful conversation on
the topics of the day. From to 7
o'clock in the evening, however, the
Field-Marshal is again at his books
and papers, writing letters and finish
ing up his official work of the day.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock he looks at
the evening papers, and at 8 p. NJ, tea
is served in the family circle, after
which Count Moltke is very fond of
joining in rubber at whist Then,
towards the close of the evening. there
is little music, and at 10 o'clock p.
NJ, the Field-Marshal retires to rest,
to rise again at $50 for n similar days
work on the morrow. During the
summer months Count Moltke spends
most of his time on his estate at krei-
sau, near Schweidnitz, in Silesia. At
the entrance TO the forccourt there are
two Grecian athletes, and not far from
them, resting OH large flat bases of
stone, two cannon taken in the late
Franco-German war and presented by
the Emperor to his victorious Chief Of
the General staff. The Counts favor
ite spot in his park is seat under the
shadowy branches of giant oak,
whence fine view of the hills of the
Eulcngebirg is obtained. In the park,
too, is the tomb of his deceased wife,
to whom he was greatly attached.

My readers are doubtless already
impatient to know something of the
army, which for 1900 years has defied
the manifold elements of disorder that
have been fatal to many dynasties and
dismembered so many larger and more
populous territories in Europe. The
military defence, then, of the Republic
of San Marino is. committed to
regular army of thirty men, who are
supposed to be always ready TO re-
spond to the calls of honor or of patri-
otism. A police, consisting of five
or six persons, protects the property of
the territory and gives peaceful slum-
bers to its honest burghers. In emerg-
encies the militia Of the country may
be called in aid of its unconquered
regular legions. They have two judg-
es, who are, however, required by law
to be taken from.without the territory
and are changed every three years.
But all cases of appeal are decided by
Il court of cessation, or review, in the
neighboring cities of Bologna, Padua,
Turin, or wherever that tribunal may
chance to be sitting at the time. The
currency in use among them, also, is
that of the Italian government. They
had once some sous coined, the equiya-
lent in value of our cent--my host at
the inn gave me two or three of them
but they were not coined in the Re
public. Their number was very re-
strcted, and they are rarely to be met
with except in the collections ofnumis-
matists. it is certainly one of the &C.
centricities which distinguish San Ma
rino from all other countries that it
puts out its litigation as some families
put out their washing aud trades ex-
clusiyely with the currency of foreign
States. The country which buys and
sells with q currency over which it has
no control and submits its differences
to foreign tribunals for adjustment,
gives pretty heavy bonds to keep the
peace with its neighbors, whatever be
the title it gives to its form of govern
ment.
The expenses of their government
will not seem large to an American.
They never exceed $4,000 francs-say
s1,OOO-army, navy, post-ofice, edu-
cation, prisons, police, diplomatic serv-
ice, representation, all included. This
revenue is raised out of the profits
realized by the government from the
purchase of some 100000 pounds of
tobacco in the leaf, which it manufac-
lures to sell at small advance from
the sale of about 800 sacks of salt, and
triiing stamp tax of three cents on
notarial, judicial and other legal docu-
ments. The health of the republic is
looked after by one physician and one
surgeon employed by the State, who
are required to attend and prescribe
for all who send for them, but
who are not expected to resent the
offer of a gratuity from those who can
afford to pay for their advice. These
functionaries receive some $500 a year
each from the State. The Judges re-
ceive the same. San Marino has not
only never been afflicted with news
paper, but no printing press has ever
stood upon its territory.

The Way TO Win.
From the Baltimore Gazeiie.

From the Baltimore Gazeite.
During the present year the Ameri-
can people will again be called upon
10 select a President whose term of
office. if his life be spared, will extend
for four years from the 4th Of March,
1881. In a few months the two great
political parties of the country will
put their candidates in the field, and
then the struggle for supremacy will
begin. Which will be successful will
depend entirely upon the candidates
nominated, for, strange as it may seem,
the old maxim, principles, not men,"
seems 10 have been reversed in modern
politics. An improper or unpopular
candidate cannot be elected by eth
er party on the soundest platform.
Though fairly representing his party,
he must be sound himself, thoroughly
trusted by the rank and file as well as
the leaders, and enjoy to the fullest ex-
tent the confidence Of the masses, not
only because he IL a standard bearer,
but, for the better reason, that he is
altogether fitted TO be one. Just now
there seems to be an unhappy conflict
of opinion in the Democratic ranks as
to who should be their leader. We
are afraid that the conflict is based
more upon the desire to promote indi-
vidual interests than 10 secure party
success. This is perhaps natural in
the present construction of parties.
Candidates are named as available
merely because they represent factions
and not because they are supposed to
be acceptable to the whole united
Democracy. This preference is found
ed quite as much upon the hope of
prospective plunder as upon the real
merit of the candidate. We are aware
that it is a difficult if not an impossi-
bic thing to find man acceptable to
every one. George ID. Prentice once
said, with great force: at is in vain
to hope to please all alike. Let man
stand with his face in what direction
he will, he must necessarily turn his
back on one-half of the world" As
with men so with parties, and hence it
is fact, which must be looked square
" in the face, that whoever is nomi-
mated will be made the candidate in
opposition TO a large number in the
Democratic ranks. In this view Of the
case the National Democracy should
earnestly strive to find the very best
man for the crisis, without reference
to sentiment, or prejudice, or individ-
ual interests, or the promptings of fac
tions. Such a man may not be easy
to find, but he is worth diligently
looking for. Without him the party
will 90 into an utterly hopeless con-
test, with no chance of success, and
the same political organization that
has ruled the Nation since 1860 will
again reap the fruits of victory. The
Democracy can elect President this
coming Fall if wise and prudent coun-
sells prevail, but they need not hope to
do so unless they show that they are
worthy of public confidence by nomi-
mating n candidate whom the people
respect and can trust after the election
as well rs before the battle is fought.

PROM Special dispatch to the Post.
New York, Jan. 22.-The details of
the shocking brutality of mother to
four-year-old babe transpired in the
Police court to-day. The mother, Mrs.
Carrie Emmerson, was drunk, and was
arraigned by the police. An occu-
pant of the same tenement told the
following story:
Mrs. Emerson took her apartments
about four months ago, bringing her lit.
tie boy, Freddy, about three and half
years old. For the first few days she
acted respectfully and took care of the
child. After this she would go out in
the evening and come home drunk in
the small hours of the morning. Mean.
while Freddie would be locked in the
room. She would leave in the afternoon
and be gone until near noon Of the fol.
lowing day, and would have men visit
her and, until they left, kept the child
in the yard. ] have fed the child many
time during its mothers absence. On
Tuesday morning ! was awakened by
the howls of cat in Mrs. Emmerson's
rooms, continuing during the morning.
Towards noon heard the child's cries,
followed by a rushing noise, as IL some
savage animals were running around a
cage and trying to escape. The in.
mates of the house assembled around
the room, which is on the ground floor,
having door and two windows opening
into the yard. The windows raised up
and large paddock fastened the door.
A cat was heard in the room. The
cries Of the child grew louder and loud
er, and the cat inside began to hurt
itself against the windows in its en-
deavors to break out. IL would strike
the closed shutters, and rebounding 10
the floor, would tear around the apart
ment TO the terror OF the child, whose
screams were heartrending. An officer
was called in and broke open the door.
A large black cat, with blazing eyes,
dashed past him. Inside the room was
Freddie, wholly nude, and shivering
with cold and fright. The officer car.
ried him into my apartments, where
dressed him, and he was taken TO the
police station.

The Birth OF the New Conspiracy.

From the wnks-harre Leader.
The Republicans of this country are
in desperate strait. They fully rec
ognize the fact. The States they stole
to achieve the Presidency three years
ago, they cannot steal this year. They
know this. And they have long been
contemplating the theft of Others. 1t
was at first suggested that the Legis-
lature of New York should enact a
law taking to itself the right to choose
the Presidential electors. This propo-
sition was informally broached to the
country, but it elected such indications
of popular rebellion against so mani
festly dishonest proceeding, that it
was concluded if not 10 abandon it al.
together, at least to make no show of
positive intention 10 adopt it, until all
other possibilities of achieving the de-
sired result shall have failed them. 1t
was then agreed among the wicked
few with whom the conspiracy origi-
mated, that bill should be put through
the body named: giving the choosing
of the electors TO the Congressional
districts. On Tuesday such bill was
introduced. 1t was presented by a
Mr.. Potter. 1t provides that two cleo
tors-at-large shall be chosen and that
one for each Congressional district shall
also be chosen-that is, that each elec-
toral ticket placed in the ballot box
shall contain the names of three elec-
tors. 1t is believed by the schemers,
that should this act become law, al
least twenty-three of the thirty-five
electoral votes of the State are certain
to be carried for the Republican can.
didate for President.
The mere introduction of this bill
is confessing that the Republicans de.
spair of carrying New York on the
popular vote, and the claim in the face
of that confession that voting by dis
tricts they would secure % out of the
30 electors, shows how unfairly the
State is districted in the interest Of
their party, and how grossly dishonest
that fact would be in its results to the
majority of it, people, even il the
method of choosing electors by Con.
gressional districts were in vogue in
all the States.
II is a desperate and damnable game
that is thus being played. The wonder
is that In this enlightened age and free
country the bcldest men would dare
even to whisper of such an outrage
They would not, but for .the fact that
years Of the most corrupt rule the
world has ever known has made the
people familiar with political wrongs

MOLTKE At BERLIN.
HONE LIFE OF THE GREAT SOLDIER WHO Is
SILENT IN SEVEN LANGUAGES.

HONE OF THE bhBAI SybbtNH nv 10
SILENT IN SEVEN LANGUAGES.
In recent publication by Baron A.
Won Firks, an interesting glimpse is
presented of the private and domestic
life of the great German strategist,
Count Won Moltke. The happy mar
riage of the Chief of the Prussian
General Staff was dissolved by the
death of his wife on the Oath of De
cember. 1868. Since then his domes-
tic affairs have been managed by his
only surviving sister, Frau Won Burt,
whose only son has likewise been at
tached as second adjutant TO his uncle.
Count Moltke resides in the new build
ing belonging to the GeneraSStaf. 1t
is situate on the Kings square or
Konigsplatz, Berlin. His apartments
have q southern aspect and look out
upon the Column Of Victory, which
commentaries chiefly his own unpre-
cedeuted triumphs over the Austrians
and the French. His habits and mode
of life are characterized by the great
est simplicity and regularity, his time
being divided and spent strictly ac-
cording to the rules he has previously
laid down for himself. During the
winter half of the year the Field
Marshall, in his dressing gown and
with his head covered by little
round smoking-cap, enters his study
or working-room at Z o'clock every
morning and takes his early CUP Of
coffee, over which he smokes a cigar.
Then he commences the regular work
of the day. He writes very quickly

view of securing to the third term
aspirant electoral votes from Republi-
can Congressional districts. 1t is, of
course, confession that the State as a
whole is and will be at the Presiden-
tial election Democratic in majority.
Whether the Republicans at Albany
will seriously attempt to carry out the
revolutionary programme proposed is
doubted.
But if they should carry it out, they
may make some mistake that will re-
suit in throwing New York's electoral
vote out of the court. There are a
number of points involved that are
less technical and of more strength
than those upon which the Republi-
cans are seeking to set up State gov
ernment in Maine.
In the first place, the question has
been raised whether it is competent
for the legislature of State, after
having directed the appointment of
electors by vote of the people, and the
people have for generations appointed
them by vote, to change the manner
of appointment-whether, when the
legislature gave the directions TO the
people and lodged in their hands the
power to choose, ii did not exhaust its
authority.
In the second place, one of the late
amendments of ths Federal Constitu-
ton recognizes what the original in
strument did not--the right of the
people to vote for Presidential elect
ors and 1t attaches a penalty to de-
nial or abridgement of that right.
when" it says. "the right to vote
at any election for President and Vice
President of the United States +
is denied TO any of the male inhabi-
tants Of such State, being twenty-one
years of age anu vitiDuns Of the United
States, or in any manner abridged, ex-
cept for participation in rebellion or
other crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the pro-
portion which the number of such
male citizens shall bear to the whole
number of male citizens twenty-one
years of age in such State"
The male inhabitants described now
certainly have the right to vote for all
the thirty.five electors of New York.
The Grant scheme proposes to deny
that right, to take it away, to abridge
it, by allowing them to vote for only
the two at-large electors, and by Con-
gressiOnal districts to vote for only a
single elector in each.
Consequently, the basis Of the State s
representation in Congress must be re-
duced in the proportion described.
But as the right would be denied or
abridged to all the male inhabitants
described, of course the proportion
would be such as to wipe out the en-
tire Congressional representation.
And as the right of the State to
thirty-three of its thirty-five Presiden-
tial electors rests upon its basis of rep
resentation, of course the loss of the
latter would carry the loss of the form.
er, and New York would have only
the two electors who stand for its two
Senators. The Republicans who are
in earnest in the Grant scheme have
no comprehension of the muddle in
which they are trying TO involve them.
