There has been another illustration this week of the imperious
character of the prevailing mood in Germany. Dr. Sigl, the editor of a Bavarian Ultramontane paper,—the Vaterland,—which had attacked Prince Bismarck, was found guilty, and condemned by a Munich Court of Justice to ten months' imprisonment ; but either by connivance or otherwise, got out of Bavaria into Austria before the imprisonment commenced. The German Government instantly applied to the Austrian to arrest the fugi- tive, and it was said that he actually was arrested at Salzburg, and is to be handed over immediately to the Government of Berlin. That is a curious act of subserviency on the part of Austria. Even Turkey refused to give up to Austria, in the old days of the Hun- garian war, the political offenders for whose extradition Austria asked. But what Turkey then refused to do, Austria, it appears, now cheerfully does.
