THE N1CayCY IN THE SENATE.

The Democrats of the XIIlth District have
nominated ex-Mayor Peter Ward Oh Newburg,
to fill the vacancy in the Senate occasloned by
the death of Mr.. Low. The Republicans will
hold their convention on Tuesday, and it is
only necessary for them to place first-class
candidate in the field and give him their united
support to win the election. Inc district IS
close, but it gave Harrison puranty OF olS !;

TIRE MORTER SCANDAL.

The British Government has received
serious alfront from the German Foreign Office.
Sir X. ID. Morier its representative at st.
Petersburg. had been fiercely attacked by " The
Cologne Gazetteer and other jour Ills, which
have evidently received their cue from Count
Herbert Bismarck The British Minister was
charged with having taken advantage Of his
official position as Charge d AffareS at Darn
stadt in 1870 to convey by way OF London
secret information to Marshal Bazaine of the
movement of German troops. He obtained
from the Marshal last August an unqualified
contradiction of the libels and sent the CORE
spondence to the German Foreign Office with
the request that his reputation should be vim
dicated by a refutation of the SANDERS in an
official journal. As Count Herbert Bismarck
had been reported in England to be personally
responsible for the statement that the alleged
confessions Of Marshal Bazaine had been made
to German officer at Madrid he solicited this
favor rather impOrtunate' an act of justice
from the Foreign Office. The reply to his re-
quest was curt and insulting. Count Herbert
Bismarck declined to accede to what he pro
nounced an astonishing demand. The British
Minister, having been personally affronted and
refused the protection of the Foreign Office,
has published the : tire correspondence, which
closed with a furious reply to Count Herbert
Bismarck's brusque letter His excuse for so
unprecedented course is the fact that the
journals which have traduced him hive as
sumed to derive their information from official
sources, and yet are not furnished at his re-
quest with evidence refutng the calumnieS.
The motive OF Count Herbert Bismarck in
this undplomatic transaction is so plain that
the affront is instantly recognized in London
and bitterly resented. Sir h. ID. Morier was
one Of Emperor Fredericks friends and the
assault upon him is an exhibition OF resent
ment and spite against the English faction
once powerful at the German Court Prince
Bismarck, when the diaries were published last
year by Professor GeffcLen, virtually declared
that the Crown Prince was not allowed to know
the diplomatic secrets of the war Of 1870 be-
cause The English Court, with which he was in
sympathy, on the side Of France. The
charges against his friend the present Min
lister at st. Petersburg, serve to corroborate
that view of the case. The story that Marshal
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-01-05

Bazaine received secret military information
from London which was furnished from Darn
stadt was one to which The Chancellor readily
gave currency, since it was striking COM
mentary upon his own report respecting the
diaries. The British Minister is maligned,
dscredited and deried an opportunity of vim
dicating his reputation because anonymous and
irresponsible warfare upon him has accentuated
German prejudice against those English in
luences which prevailed for long period in
Berlin.
Count Herbert Bismarck is prominent fig
ure in this affair, but he has evidently carried
out his fathers wishes. and moreover, has
been strongly supported by the Emperor who
has himself taken pains to cross-exanne the
German officer responsible for the original dis
closures from Madrid. The Court feuds which
preceded the pathetic and ill-stared reign OF
Frederick III are still smoulderlng' The cool
ness with which the young Emperors proposal
to visit England was entertained and the sub
seouent warmth of the former Empresss re-
ception there have alike served to strengthen
German prejudice.

Whatever conclusions a body like the Excise
Revision Commission might come to, they must
be to a greater or less extent in the nature OF
a compromise. The minute offered by Mr.

may properly be included in the Commission
report. But it is going too far and presumng
too much to insist that the bill drawn up by
the Commission shall not be changed IN any
