THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
German Politics,

BERLIN, December SIN yesterdays sit
ting of the Reichstag III committee of the
whole, on bill for the incorporation
of Hamburg in the Zolvereign
Herr Ritter, Minister of Finance, stated
that the North German Gazette
would publish an article giving
Herr Wandthurst satisfaction for accusing
him of having raised the question
in the committee whether England and
Russia would not oppose the incoi poraton
of lower the Elbe, and insinuating. that
he had been the mouth-piece OF
foreign agents in the matter. Bismarck
expressed surprise at members of party
of the Centre absenting themselves
from his soree, and said he
had not then read the article in the
North German Gazette. Herr Ritter's
speech produced considerable surprise
in the Reichstag, particularly as the North
German Gazette was considered to
have renewed the attack on Herr Wand
thurst, as il merely explained that in
its previous issue it omitted TO
commence the new paragraph so as
to separate the opinions of the journal
from the report of the proceedings
of the committee. The Con servatives
openly own that they are painfully
affected by this incident, and it Is
generally anticipated that there will be an
other split between the Ministry and
the Centre party, as Bismarck is believed to
be irritated against the Centre,

their intention of coming into court this

The O., t. & NJ. C. Railroad.

Captain Robb, the right.of-way agent Of
the Chicago Texas e Mexican Central Rail
road, returned yesterday from business
trip to Chicago. The company now has on
hand in this city sufficient sum of money
to complete the road to Cleburne,
and Manager Odell proposes to have
the line completed to that point some time
during Christmas week. The track is now
laid to a point distant twenty-six miles
from Dallas and by tonight it
will be completed to Mid 10th
ian, some twenty-cight miles from Dal-
las. In order to comply with their
contract with this city and secure the s4O,-
600 subscription the company will have to
lay twenty-five miles of track within the
next twenty-three days, which will finish
the line to Cleburne. Besides track-laying,
there are several trestle works and culverts
to be built, yet the management is conf.
dent that the work will be finished by the
first of January, 1882, if not before.

TnE National Planters Cotton Assoca-
ton continued yesterday in Atlanta and was
addressed by Hon. George b. Loring, Uni.
ted States Commissioner of Agriculture.
Among other things said by Mr.. Loring
was an eminently correct remark that "it
was undoubtedly true that the cotton belt
needed variety of crops to fill the vast un-
occupied areas not suited to the cotton
plant" The Commissioner also stated
that "nine-tenths of the superficial area of
these states yield no production in agricul-
ture except in limited degree in pasturagc
and wood and but thirty acres out of one
hundred are in cotton" The synopsis OF
the address found in our Geographic col
umns this morning will prove interesting
and suggestive reading.

SENATOR PKNDLEroS, of Ohio, offered a
bill in the United States Senate yesterday.
which was referred to special committee
of ten, providing that the Cabinet or chief
officers of the Executive Departments DO al
lowed seats on the floor of the Senate and
House of Representatives. This is in con-
iormity to the arrangement in the Parlia-
ment of England, and would certainly be a
means of enabling both Houses and the
Executive Departments to confer more
readily and intelligently on public affairs
and each head of departments ought by
all means, bepermittcd to address Congress
in person on matters affecting his branch of
the Government. In the absence of the
statement as to the different provisions of
the bill, we presume these officials are to be
seated as Territorial delegates, with the
right Of debate but not to vote.

The London Times on the Message

LONDON December S.-The Times in an
editorial commenting on the message Of
President Arthur, says; The languishing
condition of the American mercantile ma.
rine is undoubtedly due to the indirect eff.
feet of protection, but Presi.
dent Arthur only discovers in
it reason for lamenting that this
branch of enterprise also has not been pro.
tected and for suggesting that the omission
he repaired. 1t is difficult to see how protec.
ton can be applied to the carrying trade

however, have an advantage, as the pro.
tectionists may think of handicapping O

STILL the evidence accumulates against
the army OF derelict municipal authorities
scattered over this country. 1t would be a
very nice legal question when a man died
from the filth of the streets as to who was
responsible for his death. The following
comes from the proper authority: at ap.
pears from the vital statistics of New York
City for the last eleven months that there
has been an increase of deaths over the cor.
responding period of last year of 6,i25, OF
about % per cent. In other words, while
the death rate of last year did not greatly
exceed % per 1000 per annum, it has risen
this year to to the proportion of 32per 900
The startling increase in the death rate is
accounted for by the bad condition of the

be a wonderful privilege, as the two pugi-

Society of Natural History.

Rev. DIR. Bolles delivered his interesting lee
tIire on the British Museum last evening be-
fore the Society of Natural History. This
great museum is one of seven grand British
Government establishments, and is the most
famous of them all. OF late years it has been
open 10 the public, and the provisions for dis
play of its treasures are admirable and liberal.
Students at the immense library also are al
lowed the greatest liberty, and it is almost lit.
orally true that any book can be found there.
BY aid of the calcium light the speaker ex-
hibited photographs of the points of chief in
terest. We mention among these the immense
reading room where $4,000 volumes are shelved
and where 800 people can study at once. In
pxtre autograph room the writings of Washing
ton and Franklin are displayed with Burke,
Pitt, Fox, Wellington and Nelson, an evidence
of the high esteem in which true Britons hold
our great men. In the Egypt collection are
mummied men and animals, household and
cooking utensils, playthings and even well
preserved base ball dating from 1000 3. C.
Photographs of pottery, bronzes, vases, sculp-
ture, mosaics, etc., of all ages and 'natons were
exhibited in great numbers.
The ruined fragments from the tomb of
Mausoleus possess great interest, and richer
still is the tile library from Assyria, which
contains accounts of the creation and deluge
wonderfully similar to the Biblical narrative
The society adjourned till October.
Charles II. Boyd was proposed for &C tive
membership and Frank E. Thompson chosen.
Valuable donations.of books and curiosties
