What tho speaker objected TO was the fact
that, although tho latent political power of
the German-Amcrican voting population
was so great, and although IL comprised ono
seventh Of the entire vote OF the country, it
was not directly represented by n single
voice In the highest judicial tribunal, the SUI
prcme Court, nor IN the Senate of the United
States. He thought that If tho German
voters and those of German descent would
combine together, this state Of things could
he altered.
II is, in fact, Just us we'll that II is not al
tered, II what il seriously proposed is the
banding together, as political force, OF any
class OF persons not united primarily by re-
gard for tho destiny OF the nation Of which
they are q part.
II, as affirmed by Mr. SKuTsCH, the Ger
mans hold, in nine States OF the Union, tho
balance Of power, so that they arc able to
prevent tho election OF any Governor inim-
icsl to their rights and hostile to their
views, then. indeed, they have achieved n
great advantage which shows that their CO.
hesiveness has borne favorable fruit in tho
attainment Of results not secured by any
other element of the population however |
large. The presence in Washington Of |
single United States Senator, OF single |
Justice OF the Supreme Court of German
BIRTH would in no respect add to the proper
of the Germar-Amcrcan
voters of this country. II the avowcd pur-
pose OF such a Senator or such Justice Of
the Supreme Court should be to represent
those OF his constituents who were German
and their interests only he
would be poor Senator or poor Judge.

Germany rather than Great Britain may
furnish the most interesting navnl show OF the
present year. Opposition has been made to
conducting the British manGvures following
the annual Spithead review on the elaborate
scale OF the last three seasons, and the pro-
posal to substitute mnnuuvres in the nlodi-
terranean has not been vigorously followed
up But in the early part OF September Ger
many will undertake combined naval and
military exercises on the Schleswig- Holsein
coast The fleet will include eight armorclad
cruisers. several coast defence vessels. tor
podo tlotila and sundry other war ships,
while the land forces will consist OF the Ninth
Army Corps. about $4,000 strong. with 100
guns or more. Besides the German vessels en-
gagged In an attack upon the island OF Alsen,
there will be fine array of visiting war ships.
including half dozen British armorclads and
Danish Swedish. Norwegian. and Austrian
vessels. Admiral WALKERs squadron of ovou-
tion will have left European waters long before
that time. and our succeeding squadron will
probably not have been formed in season to
witness these German performances. Possibly
q single little craft OF the old wooden fleet. like
the Enterprise may be there to represent us.
At all events this is likely to be one OF the most
important naval displays OF the year.

DIR. A. SUPAN, the distinguished German
Geographer, makes the remark able assertion
in PeterDdm'S Nfeihm0en that changes in tho
geographical latitude OF places have been OBJ
served for several years. 1t was thought that
these apparent changes might be due to errors
IN observations or imperfections in instru-
ments. but during the past year systematic
observations have been made at u mum Der OF
central European observatores which have
demonstrated that the geographical latitude of
place is not constant, or. In other words. that
the earth's axis is subject to small variations
with regard to whose character and cause we
are as yet completely in the dark.
Prof HELMERr reports upon this remarkable
discovery that in the first half of 1859 no
change in the latitude OF Berlin and Potsdam
was observed. but that in the third quarter
there was an increase in latitude or. in other
words. these cities were a little nearer the
north pole. This was followed by diminish
ing Of latitude. which extended through tho last
quarter OF the year and had apparently
reached an end in January of this year. The
differences in latitude observed ut Berlin and
Potsdam amounted to ono and one :cnth .ec-
onds. and these results were exactly confirmed
by observations at Prague. since tho Same
result has been reached with very different in
struments at three obseryatories. one OF which
is two degrees south OF both the others. the
phenomenon can scarcely be attributed to
errors in instruments or observations.
Dr, SuPAN adds that this IMPORTANT matter
Will be considered by the permanent Commits
sion OF the international Goodetic Conference
which will meet at Freiburg in September, and
It Is hoped that an extensive system Of OBJ
7ervations will he carried out which may re-
suit In explaining the phenomenon.
