FOREIGN NEWS.

Berlin, January 24-In the
Riechstag to-day, during the debate
on the budget, a discussion arose
concerning the late imperial rescript.
Bismarck did aim to create a new
constitution. The maxim the Ian
guage put down not givenl did not
apply to Germany. The expression,
ministerial responsibility was
equally absurd. He dreaded that the
rescript remained unshaken by the
attendants upon it. He was fully
aware Of his responsibility in signing
it, and that he was answerable for all
the acts of the sovereign. II was to
the sovereign he said, and no5 to par
lament, that Germany owed The posi-
ton she enjoyed. Bismarck asked
whether any one could reproach him
with cowardice There was q great
uproar on the left. Prince Bismarck
stepped forward and repeated his in
quiry, saying, lis there one among
you who dares to bring such q
charge"

Extraordinary Impediment of Speech.

Mr.. Edwin Cowles, editor of the Cleve-
land Leader, in consequence OF charges
of low character which were publicly
made against him as the cause of an i'm
pediment in his speech, published a state
ment under his own name as to the
nature of his affection, and to say the
least, it is strangely remarkable. He
says:
"The cause of my impediment of
speech is most extraordinary one, and
/ am informed that there is not similar
case on record The peculiarly of my
deafness is akinto that of color blindness.
There are certain sounds 1 never hear.
1 can not, nor did I ever, hear the hiss
ing sound of the human voice !; a portion
of the consonant sounds l never hear
consequently, not hearing any of these
sounds when [ was child, I never made
them in my articulation, and l never be-
came aware of the existence of those
sounds till arrived at the age of man
hood, and then L discovered their exist
tence and was taught to make them in
nv articulation. It having become
second nature for me when discovered
the existence of those sounds, to speak
without making them, and withal not
hearing them when do make them, it
can be seen why labor in my articula-
ton. In listening to conversation [ am
governed by the sense of the remarks,
and by the motion of the lips in order to
understand what is said Inever in my
life heard the music of the birds, and I
had always supposed that it was poeti
cal fiction till grew up to maturity, and
ascertaiued that it was reality. You
may fill this room with canary birds and
all may sing at once, and not a note
would 1 hear, but I would hear their
wings futter; the upper notes of a violin,
piano or other musical instruments I
never hear, although would hear all
notes below the seventh octave. 1 can
hear the street car, but never hear the
car bells. I have walked by the side of a
policeman and have seen him blow his
whistle which could be heard half a mile
away, and yet would not hear the least
| sound"

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, January 25.-The
case of Lynch against Chalmers, was
called before a sub committee of
the election committe this morning.
Chalmers filed some exceptions to
the additional testimony filed by
Lynch. The exceptions were or
dered printed and will be argued at
the hearing of the case. Lynch was
allowed forty days to file his brief,
but will probably have it ready
within ten days. Chalmers was al
lowed thirty days to file his brief in
reply, after the delivery of Lynch's S
brief to him. Chalmers will prob
ably not file his brief until the last
of the thirty days, and the case NAV

A Popular Pastor.

SPECIAL to the CINCINNATI commercial
WAsHANGroN, January 22-At the
New York avenue Presbyterian
Church, this city, after services this
morning, the subscription fund be-
gan Thursday evening last, to defray
the expenses of certain improve
ments, was increased to $500, the
amount of the debt. The salary of
the pastor, Rev. John r. Paxton,
who was in New York, where his
presence is desired permanently by a
prominent Presbyterian Church, was
raised to $500. It is proposed to
raise it to $500.
These results were chiefly due to
the eloquent appeals of Senator
Frye, of Maine, and Representative
John A Anderson, of Kansas, to
the rich but sluggish congregation, OF
which they are members. Frye
and Anderson are warm admirers
of Paxton. The latter was Frye'e
guest at the Rangeley Lakes, Maine,
last summer, and was the heart OF
the party. In addition to his OWL
contribution, Frye subscribed to day
$25 on behalf of "Jack" Quinby, the
cook and guide of the party, whose
reformation dates with his inter
course with Mr.. Paxton last summer
The list of subscribers to the deb
fund (Which is very long, since small
contributions were desired), includes
among many others, the well,knowr
names of Justice Harlan, Justic,
Matthews, Justice Bradley. Solicitor
General Phillips, General Dunn, Gen
eral Drum, Commodore Carter, Sen
ator Frye, Senator Henry G. Davis
Senator jackson and Senator, Ben
Harrison.
