A MINISTERIAL CRIsIs-The decision Of the
Emperor Frederick of Germany not to sign or al
low to be published the bill prolonging the dura-
ton of the Prussian Lantag has been followed by
ministerial crisis. The crisis had its origin, it
appears, in censure visited by Frederick upon
Herr Won Puttksmer minister of the interior, for
misuse of the government influence at elections.
There is desire also on the part of Frederick, it
is said to reconstruct the ministry and to change
the household officials. There is much rejoicing
among the liberal" element at the tendency ex-
hibited by the Emperor in the affair. The
excitement attending the crisis has, however, not
been Of advantage, it appears, to his health.

A PEIUsAL of the daily accounts of the
brutal crimes committed by negroes in
Washington, rs published in the newspapers
of that city, is highly calculated to induce
many people to agree with DR.. Paxton, who
at the late meeting of the Northern Presby'
terrain Assembly, said, MAY God curse the
day the negro was brought to our shores
from the sands of Africa" Such crimes
we're rare among the negroes before the era
of the civil rights bill and universal suffrage,
aud when they had somebody to look after
their manners and morals.
