All Anti-Bismark Decision,

A prosecution in the Berlin courts
against Emil Effenhimer, editor of the
discontinued Berlin News, on a charge
of libeling Prince Bismark, has been
decided in favor of the defendant. The
LEGGED libel consisted in an accusation
that Bismark was himself chiefly res
ponsible for the outrages against the
Jews in Germany. The defence was
justification of the charge, and, as evil
dence of its truth, counsel pointed to
the reply made by Prince Bisnark to
a telegram received from Dr.. Heinrich
during the session of an anti-Jewish
meeting in Dresden, in which he said
that he believed, with the association
represented by DR.. Heinrich, that an i'm
provement would be attained in Ger
man affairs as soon as the German
people would cease to expect it to oc-
cur spontaneously. This sentence was
considered throughout the country as
indicating the desire of the Chancellor
to have the German people resort to
violent measures against their Jewish
neighbors. The defendants advocate
referred also to other occurrences of
similar character. 1t requires very
clear case to procure decision from a
Prussian court adversed to the wishes
of Prince Bismark, but in this instance
the judges unanimously decided that
the defendant could not be punished
for expressing the views he did.

respon sibility in the matter, he very
naturally shook off the dust from his
feet against Dover and took the money
back to Washington, turning it OVER to
the Treasury. This in principle II not
in detail is about to be repeated in VIII

Improvement of the Christiana, some
$1,000, we believe is not to be exrend-
ed until the City Council builds traps
at the ends of the streets at the river, TO
catch and prevent the stream from be
coming filed up with washings and
debris from tlA city. Council agreed
Sone time ago to construct these traps,
but put off commencement until July
taxes came in and the city had a little
surplus to spare for that purpose. July
is gone aud there is surplus Cf some
Sl20, 600 in the Treasury and now is the
time to commence the work. We 90
not suppose the traps will cost at the
farthest more than $500 each ana as
there are only some tonr or tive streets
which empty their drainage into the

probable expense not exceed ing $1,000.
