Count BIsmarIx's Electoral Address.


Count Bismark and about one hundred men,
bers of the conservative party in the Berlin
Chamber of Deputies have just issued the fol-
lowing electoral address,


The elections to the Parliament of the North
German Confederation are impending. This
indispensable for common affairs with the Gov
ernments of freddy German states, already
allied by treaty, which will constitute the North
German Confederation. It's task is therefore
very Important and tar-reachlng, and all the
more difficult, as not unmportant prejudices
and obstacles in all directions have still 10 be
overcome.


1t is all the more urgently necessary that not
only should every political party exert its entire
activity and influence to solve that problem for
the permanent salvation of Prussia and Ger
many, but that at the present moment the
whole Prusslan people should step forward as
one man to complete in concord, as q temple Of
honor to the German nation, that edidce of
German unity Tor which the people in arms
have laid the firm founoation.


Far be ii therefore from us to evoke anew the
errors and divisions Of the immediate past. We
offer the hand for common action to all who are
ready to range themselves now with us under
that flag which has hitherto led us on to victory.

dian of German unity and freedom, and the
German policy OF his Majesty the King, put in

this is the object we have to fulfil.


The German people constantly recognizes
more strongly that the Prussan monarchy is
the guardian of German power and German
honor. 1t adheres daily more firmly to the
notices under which our King and his army
have won victory upon the battlefield, and the
hearts of admirlng nations. 1t rejects forever
the deceptive craftsmanship OF those who
vaclatingi between timorousness and arro-
ganCe, again try to press into the foreground the
standpoint shown by the most recent teachings
OF history to Oe untenable.


The work must be carried on as it has been
begun, and it director can be only that man
who, as a faithful servant of his royal master,
has understood how TO combine the ancient
Stateforming idea of Prussia with the materials
of the nineteenth century. Let us, therefore.

While we are writing, the bells are

in opposition to their execution. The
justice of the punishment reconciles the

men been negroes they would not have
suffered death. They would, had they
been blacks, have been acquitted or
punished by imprisonment in the peni.

of the offense, and that the death of the
negro was what the law demanded, con-
fessed that military despotism ameliora-

had the perpetrator been white, he
would have no hesitation in consigning
the criminal to the gallows.

TEST OArH.-The decision of the Supreme
Court in the test oath cases has much moro
direct and extensive bearing on the Question
of the hour than the decision in the Mioan
case. The former decision is also nora
firmly bottomed than the latter. In tbo
Miligan case, the decision acts upon an Act
of Congress, which Congress may repeal and
replace with a different Act. In other words
Congress may cut under the decision in tho
Miiligan case, though, it is true, the dicrum
Of the majority of the Court warrants the
hope that the cut, if made, would be in vain
Still the decision, as it stands, is exposed to
this stroke. In the test oath cases, however
the decision rests upon the Constitution
which Congress cannot repeal. This decs'
ion Congress comet cut under. This dece.
ion, we repeat, is more firmly bottomed than
the other. 1t is also, as we have said, mora
important in its bearing. The decision in
declaring that the laws which impose tba
test-oaths in question are ca post tacto law,
as well as bills Of pains and penalties. strikes
at the very root Of the Radical system Of re-.
construction. The test, oath is the taproot Of
the system. The decision cuts it up. And
down goes the system. The Radical party
as is now manifest, cannot live, unless the

We cannot impress it too often upon the

in fact, the only true friends they have, are
the people Of the Southern States. When
the negroes ask for bread, the Radicals give
them a stone, and when they asl; for fish,
give them a serpent. The negroes want en-

They don't desire the right OF suffrage; bu,
few would exercise it If granted. In the
language Of the Richmond Wing, ut is due
the negroes Of The South to say that if
left to themselves they would not concern
with politics. They are thinking more about
bread and meat than about voting. The
resolutions and addresses which we so often
see in the newspapers demanding suffrage
and equality, and which purport to emanate
from them, are not theirs. They are the
productions of the white agilaors and in.
cendisries who go about drumming them Up
to attend the meetings they call, and when
they succeed in getting a handful together
they read the resolutions and addresses they
have prepared, and give them to tie world
