GiT The earliest regular edition of The Evening Telegraph goes to press at 1 o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions at 2, 3$, and 4J. Whenever there is im lortnt news of the progress of the Euro pean war, extra editions will be issued after this hoar, and before the regular time for the early edition. THE WAR. Genbral Tbochtj, in his late proclamation to the citizens of Paris, asked them to imitate the valor of the army which had fought at the fearful odds of three against one, while Napoleon, in an address to the French officers at Metz, after describing the Prussian method of managing a battle, acknowledged that it was superior to the French system, and asked his army to imitate it. Thus we have the con fessions of the highest authorities of the empire that the invaders possess a great superiority of force which is managed with superior efficiency, and the results of the campaign are precisely what might have anticipated from the disproportionate strength of the contend ing armies. The success of the ambitious German effort to confine Marshal Bazaine and the flower of the French army in the fortress at Metz is confirmed from a number of quarters. The Parisian authorities virtually admit it by acknowledging that Bazaine'a plans have been so changed as to induce him to prolong his occupancy of his old quarters. A special reporter of the New York World telegraphs that he saw the battle and knows that the French were forced back to Metz; vhile a despatch from Dresden, which gives a circumstantial account of the Saxon divisions engaged in the conflict of the lSth instant, alleges in the most positive terms that the object for which it was fought was fully ac complished. It appears to have been the French plan, if Bazaine had been able to get away from the armies which hold him with an unyielding grasp, to make a stand at some point nearer the frontier than Chalons. MacMahon is said to have advanced beyond Chalons, towards Vitry, to meet the Crown Prince, and the original programme was probably to unite both wings of the French army and to contest the road to Paris mile by mile. But this plan has proved impracticable for reasons already given, and even the Parisian j ournals complain that a mysteriously long time has been consumed in the transmission of despatches between the two leading French generals; while Mao Mahon, thrown back upon his ow n resources, is said in a special despatch (which lacks confirmation) to have encoun tered another defeat. If he has already fought and lost a decisive battle, nothing that the Prussian army need fear remains to block up the road to Paris; but if this battle is still to be fought, he can have no rational Lope of success since he has been deprived of the co-operation of Bazaine. The preparations for a siege of the capital have therefore become imperatively necessary, and we do not wonder that they engross so large a share of the attention of the French authorities. The exterior defenses of the nation have fallen so rapidly that little remains to be done except to pierce its centre. It re mains to be seen whether two millions of people can be supplied with enough food to maintain life during a protracted siege, and if this difficult task cannot be accomplished, the Prussian approach to Paris will extort a treaty from the necessities of a famished populace, even if no battles are fought there. The Prussians are believed now to have com menced operations with the intention of dic tating peace at the gates of the French capi ta1, and the wonderful success of their prelimi nary movements furnishes a hopeful augury cf the achievement of theirultimate aim. TUE PAYMENT OF PENSIONS. The Secretary of the Interior has written a letter to th Commissioner of Pensions with regard to his duties under the law passed at the last session of Congress which defines the amount of fees which agents or attorneys are allowed to charge for their services in prosecuting claims for pensions. The Secre tary states in a very clear and exact manner precisely what are the responsibilities of the Commissioner as the legal guardian alike of the interests of the Government and of the pensioners, and if his instructions are faith fully carried out, one of the main purposes of the law will be fulfilled in all its integrity. According to the law the prescribed fee for procuring a pension is ten dollars, but by special agreement the agent or attorney is permitted to charge, twenty-five dollars, and i. o inert. The fee is to be deducted from the pension when allowed and paid directly to the attorney, but in case of a larger fee than ten dollars being charged the agreement to that effeot must be approved by the CommLt eio&er of Pensions before the money can be paid. It was obviously the intention of the law to make it the duty of the Commissioner of Petitions to scrutinize the agreements be tween claimants and their agents with great care, so as to protect ignorant persons from itapositidn; and the Secretary of the Interior states the purposes of Congress in providing for the persons entitled to pensions this safe gnarj tigainst the cupidity of the men in the pension agency business very exactly when he says: "The stipulations blurting the pension claimant to pay specific amount are substantia! parts of the agreement, and the whole InHtniment Is subject to jour approval. Confiding jour action to matters of form, or to the ascertainment of the genuineness of the agreement, narrows too mnch the effect of the Btntute, and defeats one of Its leading purposes. Instances have occurred In which sums far in excess of the value of the services rendered in prosocuttng pension claims have been exacted from the widows and orphans of soldiers. Congress no doubt at tempted to snppress a flagrant abuse by the provi sion nnder consideration, and by the penalties for violating it, which are set lorth In another section, while at the same time they secured the JiiHt rights of the attorney by causing his fee to be paid by the Instrumentality of the ofllcer who pays the pen sioner. Your approval Is requisite to give effect to the agreement In the mode provided by Congress. Without It the stipulated amount cannot be deducted from that due the pensioner." This is certainly plain enough, and the Commissioner of Pensions cannot complain that he does not know his duty. Upon his virtue depends whether the abuses aimed at by the law can be checked, and the payment of twenty-five-dollar fees only be allowed in extraordinary instances, when the difficulties in the way of proseouting a claim demand extra remuneration. That the Commissioner of Pensions is not the enemy of corruption that we would like to see him is evidenced by the fact that he has not removed Colonel Forbes from his pension agency in this city, notwithstanding the expose that has been made of irregularities in the management of his office. Independently of all other considerations, Colonel Forbes, by his own admissions, has violated the lnw by discounting, at exorbitant rates, thejclaims of his pensioners, and this alone is a sufficient reason for his removal. .So long as such "irregularities" as those of which Colonel Forbes is accused are countenanced by the Commissionerof Pensions, we cannot have the most supreme faith in hi a incorruptible virtue; and we sadly fear that the majority of attorneys' fees allowed by him under the new law will be nearer twenty-five dollars I'uan ten. SUICIDAL COWARDICE. The Republican State Committee met at Altoona on the 10th, but gave no public report about its proceedings. It was evidently made as close a corporation as possible, and was manipulated in the interest of the political desperadoes who attempted to steal the lie publican organization through Washington trickery. The Republicans had one grand opportu nity to retrieve the party, to heal its dissen sions, and reinspirit its people. Had a mani festo in favor of substantial reform within the party, by the earnest and determined action of the party, come from the committee, it would have rallied the Republican ranks with something of the old spirit that has given us victory in the past. But the . committee was controlled other wise by what baleful influences we know not, but the Republicans of . the State will be likely to plaoe the re sponsibility where it justly belongs. By a resolution, the consideration of a Constitu tional Convention to reform our legislation was postponed until the 10th of March next, evidently with the view of preventing action on the subject by the next Legislature; and if the next Legislature does not act, reform cannot be effected until after the next Sena torial election. Not a single Republican journal in the State has ventured to oppose fundamontal reform, and a very large portion of the ablest and truest of them have pronounced in the most positive terms in favor of a con vention. So far as the expressions have been made in the party, there has been but one voice, and that demanded the prompt action of the party to inaugurate earnest reform, and yet the State Committee, the only organ of the party in the absence of a State Con vention, submits to the counsels of those who want to control the Legislature by debauchery for a few years more, and yielded in suicidal cowardice to the corruptionists who have well-nigh prostrated the noblest party that ever existed. This action of the committee opens the way for the advance of the Democracy, and they will not be slow to avail themselves of the opportunity. They will doubtless rally unitedly for a convention and such reform as the people, without distinction of party, not only wish, but imperatively deman 1, and they will thus array themselves in favor of the most vital issue now before the people of the State. Where was Hon. John Covode, with his acknowledged sagacity? Was he overruled? or did he, too, bow to the b jhest of Cameron, who don't want reform until he defrauds the people out of another Senatorial term? If the Republican party would save itself it must do so in spite of its leadors. It is in the position of France suffering the keenest agony and deepest humilition because of her ruler, who climbed to power through perjury and infamy. The French people must save the French nation, if it is saved at all; and the Republican people must save the Repub lican party, if its salvation is possible. Let the independent Republican press spt ak out, and the Republican masses demand of their Legislative candidates distinct pledges in favor of reform. Such action gives hops of success. Without it, Democratic folly will be unequal to the task of perpetuating Re publican power. Dr. Lkk ester, the distinguished Eogllhh physi cian, in the pages of A'ature, draws attention some what opportunely to the value which should be at tributed to weight In comparison with height when testing the soundness of the human freme. It la a well-known fact that the tallest soldiers are less able to bear fatigue and exposure than these whose height la rather below the average, and that the In stances are very rare la which longevity aud great stature have been combined. From iuvesiigations made by Dr. Hutchinson and Mr. Brent, it appears that a person 5 feet high ought to weigh S tu 8 lb., and that a healthy man increases for every addi tional Inch of height five pouuds in weight ; w Uenever any considerable divergence from these rulea is ob served disease may be suspected. As to what com blpatlon of helht and weight Is likely to produce the strongest frame It U not possible to speak with certainty; It is due proportion rather tuu ex crMl?e development which should be eucou:e l. Dr. Boyd's eipeilments on the I amulet of Mtr. It Urne workaguse produced some interesting re sells. He took the height and weight of 103 ton snmpttve persons, and found they measured s feet T inches, and weighed 90 pounds. He then measured and weighed 141 paupers who were not consumptive, and ftund that their average height was 6 feet I Inches, and their average ' weight 134 pounds. Whether the anthorttles endeavored to adjust the balance In the former case we are not told, bat no one has better opportunities than the coroner for Judging or the efforts made by the workhouse au thorities to check the advance of consumption by ireansof a fatty diet and cod-liver oil. Dr. Lankes ter expresses his fall agreement with "a host of In telligent practitioners of medicine In the conviction that this treatment has been successful In really preventing disease and loss or life as its conse (,nnce."
