THE DAILY EVENING TELEGUAP1T PIIILADELPIILV, TIIUUSDAY," SEPTEMBER 20, 1870. sriniT or xnn muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading J ournali upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph, OUGHT GERMANY TO MAKE rEA.CE ? From the A. F. Time. Duelling is ft barbarons institution enough, but as practised an.ong civilized men it Las a recognized code, in which humanity and common fairneaa are not altogether for gotten. The man who had wounded his antagonist in a persenal quarrel, but who eliould decline to lay aside his arms until the fallen foe was hopelessly maimed and disfigured for life, would justly be accounted little short of a wild beast. A nation is but an aggregate of men, and it is difficult to imagine any good reason why a course of action that would dishonor the individual should be held to be creditable to the mass. The unit rights for what he calls wounded honor, and desists when it is satisfied; the combined millions of units fight sometimes for an equally empty phrase, sometimes for the more tangible reason of national co hesion or defense, but in either case are equally expected to desist when the pre scribed object is attained. The solidarity of these nations has become in these times more than a mere verbal expression, as France discovered when she declared war against Pitissia, and was confronted by a united Gei many, and as Germany may find should she isolate herself from the moral support of every free State in the world. When the Second Empire menaced the internal cohe sion of Germany by provoking a causeless quarrel, the sympathies of the great majority of onlookers were instinct ively turned against the aggressor. It was patriotism on the one side against the lust of conquest on the other; and even the share market, whicn knows no country, and concerns itself but little about abstract right or wrong, rose with the an nouncement of each German victory from the hopeless depression into which the pro bable advance of the French arms had at first thrown it. But all this has changed now. The patriotism has shifted to the French side, and the aggression seems to perch upon the German banners. The empire that began the war is dead beyond hope of resuscita tion, and Frussia now wars against a people who have but newly resumed those sovereign prerogatives for whose abuse they are but partially responsible. A nation that stands in the front rank of modern civilization and culture persists in protracting the most desolating struggle that the world has seen. Weighty and potent reasons alone could justify war under such circumstances, and from an educated and religious Germany humanity expects ex ceptionally good reasons for such a course. German unity was in peril. Bismarck him self cannot pretend that it is so any longer. France was an ambitious and encroaching neighbor. She is ready to give all the guar antees that one nation can expect from an other that she will be so no more. The world expected the triumph of the Getman cause to inaugurate an era of peaceful pro gress, and to discredit forever the theory of national conquest. The foremost mili tary power in Europe could have held military ambition forever in check. Instead of that, it seems on the point of becoming the most relentless and malignant of conquerors that the Old World Las seen since Attila and his Huns earned the title of "the scourge of God." The "pitiless logic" of their native Hegel finds more than a counterpart in the terrible ear nestness with which the German leaders push their plans to their utmost developments. Two hemispheres stand aghast at the porten tous spectacle of Paris besieged. They are becoming stirred to indignation at the re cital of cruelties inflicted upon women and children, for which the respectability of the authorities elsewhere quoted demands a certain degree of credence. France is being goaded into desperation, and may any day rise en masse upon the iuvaders, with all the instincts of a wild beast, for whose blind fury those who provoked it must be held responsible. To such very excellent reasons for con cluding an honorable peace with France, there is iidw added the important one of growing discontent among the people of Germany. Stern and implacable abroad, Prussia has been com polled to become arbi trary at home. An odious war has begun upon the organs of public opinion, and argu ments that cannot be met are conveniently silenced by the agency of prison bars. Liberal democratic Germany has no quarrel with a free and republican France, and in spite of repression and persecution, it will continue to lodge its protest with growing emphasis against a wur that threatens popular liberty at home as well as abroad, feet Prussia beware lest the national unity, which at the beginning of the war sprung at once into a new and vigor ous life, should ere its close become a hollow and uncertain thing shattered by the ordeal of success more fatally than it could ever have been by the direst adversity, llecollections of 'IS are not dead yet in Bavaria, Baden, or even in Prussia itself, and much as the Germans value liberty with union, they may once more elect to have Che first, though the last may be thereby endan gered. The cohesion of a great people may be quickly formed; time alone can confirm it. The triumphs of the field of battlemay be more brilliant and alluring than those in the sphere of constructive politics. If pur sued for their own sake, there is no quicker road to national degradation, and no surer symptom of latent decay. No candid ob server professes to see in the Prussian terms lately reported any evidence of a desire to conclude the war. They were unnecessarily severe, and as such were made but to be re jected. Meanwhile, therefore, Germany has assumed the responsibility of a destructive and unnatural contest, whose dire results no man living will survive to see effaced. It would be rash to assume that King William and his advisers will much longer retain their attitude of uncompromising hostility, but it is greatly to be deplored that they should Lave ever taken it up. SANGUINARY FORMALITIES. From tK X. Y. Tribune, It is probably an American disoovery that there are more ways than one for killing a cat. Even the foremost minds in Europe have in general been satisfied with the axiom that a cat has nine lives, to which the corollary is that they must be taken in detail, and with due observance of the proprieties. Whether it is a cat to be killed, an indefensible city to be given up, or a foregone international conclusion to be acted upon, in each case the proper formalities must be followed, and iiaiially blood must be shed. The conditions by which we are surrounds J in this country unfit us for perceiving the force of such necessities. To our Republi can notions of the subordination of modes to consequences to our American ideas of prompt action in emergencies many of the occasions of bloodshed in the present war, as well as the war itself, appear not to have been entirely unavoidable. It looks to us, for instance, as though the capitulation of Sedan, known in that city to be inevitable by noonday on the 1st inst., should have taken place then, and not four or five hours later in the day. We fail to appreciate dilemmas as to by whom, and how, and on what bastion, the white flag should be displayed, or from whom should come the request for truce, while in the in terim brave men were slaughtered by thou ands in a hopeless contest, and bursting shells and burning villages were every mo ment adding fresh havoc to a scene of devas tation. We are even inclined to accord to the Emperor, for ultimately assuming the re sponsibility of surrender aud putting a stop to the carnage, a praise which we should hesi tate about conferring on any previous act of his existence. Similarly, Americans in general cannot per ceive the necessity of the heroic defense of Strasburg, or more especially of that which is in prospect for Paris. Very gratifying and very glorious to Uhrich and Trochu and their admirers, no doubt, are such defenses. Their special value, we are told, is that these exer tions place France in a better position to effect a peace. Herein is another of those things wherein Americans are socJbtuse. We cannot even help fancying that these matters of form, which involve the loss of so many lives and bring ruin on an incalculable num ber of individuals in and around those cities, might perhaps be dispensed with to advan tage. It does seom as though Bismarck might be right; as if the best way to obtain liberal terms of peace might not be found in exciting the citizens of the beleaguered cities to prolonged defense and the people of France to desperate war. Rut faintly though we perceive these neces sities of form on the part of a nation that is now a republic, an utter blindness comes over Ameiicans in the endeavor to see the absolute requirements of propriety in Italy. Though most of the panes in the glass-heuses elsewhere in Europe be broken, what there are left in that locality seem still to be of a conservatory kind. His Holiness the Pope was perfectly conversant with the impractica bility of defending Rome, but it seems that the proprieties of the occasion required a show of defense. The Slates of the Church, it is explained, being pontifical property, could be yielded only to force. Hence some fighting was necessary merely for effect and four men had to be killed and thirty wounded be fore the flag of truce could be properly pre sented and the occupation of the city take place. People on this side of the Atlantic cannot help questioning whether the repre sentative of the Prince of Peace might not have saved the lives of those poor fellows, even at the sacrifice of a little political punctilio. 'We pltv the dumb victim at the altar; Doth the robed priest, lor all our pity, falter?" DIPLOMACY AND STUMP ORATORY. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. That Mr. Washburne should be anxious for the welfare of France, and especially for the welfare of the French republic, is a thing neither to be wondered at nor condemned. A diplomatic representative ought, as far as possible, to be on terms of reciprocal good will with the people to which he is accredited; and an American representative would almost deny his country were he to deny his interest in the success of republican institutions. And doubtless a disposition, not, indeed, to injure Germany, but to befriend France, now appearing in a character doubly attractive of the sympathies of a generous and a free peo ple, has presented herself to the view of America as at once an unfortunate and a re publican nation. It is, therefore, greatly to be regretted that Mr. Washburne, in the short speech which we published recently as addressed to a popular assemblage in Paris, should have built up of a few!indiscreet words, if they are correctly reported, an almost in surmountable barricade to shut out not only himself but the nation he represents from the way to that good work which both he and they would gladly do. Our position, had we undertaken to mediate, was really a hopeful one. We have been on terms of the utmost friendliness both with the German people and the Prussian Government. Our posi tion and the fundamental principles of our policy forbade even the slightest suspicion of our cherishing any design to enter into hostilities ourselves, whatever course the affairs of Europe might take. The expostulations we should have had to address t the victorious party would have carried with them nothing of ill will or menace, Why, then, should Mr. Washburne throw away, so far as a solemnly accredited spokes man for the United States could do so, the advantages of such a position by saying, as he is reported to have said to the Parisian crowd, "Like you, i believe that the two great republics ought to remain united before monarchical Europe! One sentence brings the United States down from the elevated position of an impartial friend of both parties, as of humanity at large, to that or a thorongn-going partisan of one side, committed not only to sustain the arms of France against those of Prussia, but also to seek the overthrow of the Prussian consti tution. While that avowal stands, what can we expect but that Prussia should watch all our movements with jealousy and repel our advances with haughtiness? If it should occur to any one to plead that Mr. Washburne has 6imply spoken out the truth with an American frankness which scorns diplomatic finesse, we reply that we could not ask for a better illustration of the fact that rashness is often at a very Ion remove from sincerity, than is afforded by this very speech. After uttering the sen tence which we have quoted, and going on further to say, "lou have specially gained the support of the United States," he con cludes and his conclusion is an almost unri valled specimen of the art of sinking in ora tory "but, in consequence of our relations with other powers, and of the great distance between us, my personal opinion is that you must reckon more upon moral than active sup port: The latter half of this little speech is thus devoted to bhowing that nothing was meant by the former nothing; for who that is familiar with the proceedings of Congress, of Union Leagues and political conventions, doe 8 not know that of all the theatrical "pro perties" with which political schemers delude their dupes, and to a certain extent so im potent is untruthfulness to make any test of truth even themselves, this "moral suppoit" is the tawdriest and the flimsiest 'i The populace of Paris may not know but we are much mistaken, or Bismarck does that the "moral support" of Con gressional resolutions and political platforms and fetuiup speeches means, not a spirit and purpose that on occasion will not husitate. q embody itself , in efficient act, but a mere array of words which comes faoni nothing, and results in nothing, beyond itself. Thus has our authorized representative in Paris displayed us to the shrewd master of the fortunes of Uermany as a partisan, and a cowardly, do-nothing partisan. of France; and thus has be illustrated the truth that in diplomacy, as in the everyday business of individual life, the rule of sincerity is the rule of prudence say no more than you mean to do. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. From the Baltimore Sin. With the approach of the State and Con gressional elections this fall, it is interesting to note the attitude assumed by the two great parlies in different portions of the country in reference to what are now fast becoming the leading if not the only political questions of the day taxation and revenue reform. There are marked symptoms in various quarters of a determination to make the popular voice heard upon these subjects. which will not be put off or satisfied with the cant phrases and empty platitudes with wLith it has been the fashion hitherto with professional politicians anl platform makers to ptufT the party professions of faith. The old catchwords are beginning to lose their charm. The debates in Congress last winter, if they bore little fruit that was good and useful in action, were attended with this advantage, as we pointed out at the time, that they tended to diffuse infor mation nmoDg the people in regard to the mamer in which the finances of the country were bungled and mismanaged. The discussion of Mr. Schenck's tariff bill in par ticular did much to open people s eye3 to the designs of the monopolists and the extent of the abuses w hich were being perpetrated under the ppecious name of "protection to Ameri can industry." Accordingly we now find in the party platforms new "planks introduced in favor of revenue reform and a general reduction of taxes. The movement is not confined to one party. The resolutions upon the subject adopted by the recent State con vention of the Democracy in Iowa find almost their literal counterpart in those of the Republican State Convention in Illinois. Among those adopted by the latter we find one expressly declaring that Congress has no rightto impose taxes "except for the mainte nance ot the Government, the payment of its debts, and the promotion . of the general well are, ana that it is especially "wrongtul and oppressive" to "enact revenue laws for the special advantage of one branch of busi ness at the expense of another." In the State of New York both the Republican and Demo cratic conventions adopted resolutions in favor of revenue reform. In Missouri, where the contest turns chiefly upon local issues, and where the Republican party is divided upon the question of removing the political disabilities by which a large class of citi zens have been oppressed since 1805, the liberal and progressive wing of the party represented by Senator Schurz, and which has nominated ex-Senator B. Gratz Brown for Governor, in opposition to the "proscriptionist" candidate, Governor Mc Clurg, has also adopted resolutions in favor of a tariff framed so as to produce such a revenue as will enable the Government to deal equitably with the public creditor, and at the same time admit of a reduction of taxes. It is true that this wing of the party does not enjoy the support of the adminis tration. Its views in regard to the tariff and taxation may not suit Secretary Boutwell, who is in favor of a large monthly surplus of revenue, and likes to keep a big pile locked up in the treasury vaults. A letter has also been published, purporting to be from General Grant to an office-holder in St. Louis, in which the President classes "Schurz, Brown &, Co." with the bad men who, by abolishing test oaths and disabling laws in Virginia and Ten nessee, threw those Statesjinto the hands of the conservatives really, we may say, into the hands of their own people. In spite, however, of the cold shoulder of the admin istration, Senator Schurz confidently avows his expectation of carrying Missouri in favor of enfranchisement and reform by twenty thousand majority, and has challenged his colleague, Senator Drake, to a joint discus sion throughout the State of the issues in volved in the canvass. These are all favorable indications of the growth of a healthier tone of political feeling, and an increasing disposition on the part of people generally to substitute for the old hackneyed, worn-out issues of former con tests, the living practical questions of the hour. It is natural, too, that the signs of this popular awakening should be most strongly marked at the West. The young, growing, agricultural West has suffered peculiarly from the fetters imposed upon her energies and interests by the sort of two- Eenny legislation in financial matters which as been in vogue at Washington. The only marvel is that she should havo borne the burden so long. To judge from the present outlook, it would appear therefore that the class of "revenue reformers" will be far more nume rous in the next Congress than in the present one. Even the New York Tribune and other avowedly "protectionist" journals admit this. Some sanguine "reformers" even count upon a majority. It is only to be hoped that, in any event, those who have assumed this name will not destroy the prestige which attaches to it and ruin a good cause by rushing wildly into the opposite extreme of the wholly theo retical and impracticable crotchets of the free-traders. The middle path will be found here, as in many other things, the safest, and the policy which aims to reform, not to sub vert, will be that which will secure the largest measure of popular support, and the only one which will bear satisfactory fruit in the end. These are indications, we repeat, of a popular movement in favor of Buch a policy which is not confined to either party, but has found expression and representatives in both. ECONOMY AND LIBERALITY. From the yew Orleans Jlepv.llicaiu The South may learn a lesson from the West, but she has refused to be taught so often, that it is like hoping against hope to suppose that she will. In 18i;; hopa sold for 6ixty cents a pound, and Wisconsin went into the business with a vigor something like that which afflicts us on the subject of grow ing cotton. All the farmers bought and planted the new vino, and set up their poles for a big crop and a handsome profit. In IMh and 18i hops fell to twelve cents, and some parcels were sold as low as five cents. The farmers were badly hurt, but they did not surrender. They cut up the hop-yines and put in wheat, corn, barley, and potatoes. Now they are comfortable in earning living interest and good wages. The lesson we might learu is this, that instead of paying Wisconsin one dollar per bushel for corn, if we raised our own grain and saved our money at home, it would be doing in Louisiana what is being done year after year in Wisconsin. Farmers in the Northwest do not swear at us because they Laye, q buy fi'2n- wo'eg ja ft-w. Orleans. but they keop their temper and plant sorghum. In a few years they hope to save all the money they now spend for ordi nary sugar. In other matters they are equhlly provident. If a little hay patch can be found on the farm, they cut down every blade of grass and sell or feed it to the cattle in winter. We allow great fields f grass to fall under our feet in the fall, and in the winter we send to Wisconsin to buy some of the hny her people cut off the bogs and in the low lands. The West raises corn and pays thirty dollars per mouth for la borers to gather it. We claim to have better land atd a more profitable crop, and yet it is considered a piece of radical nonsense if we insist tLat freedmen shall not be driven out by coolies because the coolie offers to slave it for ten dollars per month. We are, there fore, open to information on these two sub jects: that cotton is not the only salvation of the South, and that the State will not be ruined if labor is paid for at the rate of a dol lar a day. Let us then learn to be both eco nomical and liberal. POLITICS IN THE SOUTH. From the Hirhvioml Diipa'ch. The retirement of Vice-President Colfax, or rather his withdrawal from renominatioa for the Vice-Presidency, to go into training for the Presidency, introduces new aspi rants for the former office. Among the number named is Attorney-General Aker man. He is a gentleman who never was heard of in this part of the world until he was nominated for the office he now holds by General Grant. When so nominated, the disposition was to be very kind towards him. Nothing bad was known of him, and a generous public sentiment preferred to hope that a man who had not made himself infamous at a period when disrepute at home was the surest way to promotion and the shortest cut to thrift by fraud and bribery witness the cadetships and the stealings out of the treasuries of the Southern States was at least a tolerable gentleman a man having some scruples against trickery and deception. But Mr. Akerman had hardly got into his office before he began, in utter disregard of the proprieties that should govern him as a national officer, to take part in the partisan scheming and trickery intended to control the Southern States. So we concluded at once that he was little better than the race of carpet-baggers whose whole study is to hold office in defiance of the will of the in telligent and substantial natives of the South, and feather their nests out of the hard earn ings of an oppressed and outraged people. Certainly it can be taken as no compliment to the South to put Attorney-General Aker man on the national ticket. He is not a man to be honored by the South, and his selection would be a mockery of the Southern people. Harmony between the sections can but be poorly restored by such devices as this. When men ask for bread, it does not relieve their wants to give them a stone nor is a serpent a good substitute for a fish. When harmony is restored between the sections, it must be through mutual confidence and trust. Natives of the South must be considered trustworthy, and as common proprietors and participants with the Northern people in the national property of all sorts, including the power and perquisites of the government. Up to the pment time the positions of trust and honor in the Federal Government dis pensed in the South have been so confined to carpet-baggers and cadetship traders that even the radical organ of this city felt called upon not long since to enter its solemn pro test against the rule that ignored the natives of the South. It had every reason in justice and fairness to sustain its indignant remon strance. We are not of the class of irreconcilable and unqualified partisans of anything save the country. e Know no party that we are willing to bind ourselves to or to die for; but for our country we are willing to sacrifice all. Therefore we might be reconciled to men v ith whom we did not agree. We concede the honesty and purity of some public men with whom we differ, and will always feel consolation in defeat when such men are elected. But we have had no such consola tion here at the South. The men here pre ferred by national power are generally of the most offensive order men distinguished for their illiberality and bigotry, and, with few exceptions, immigrants and officious intruders who were not entitled by intelligence or good standing to the respect of the communities in whose bosom they floated like serpents or any other repulsive objects, which would have been thrown back upon the waters that vomited them on our shores if the moral sense of the public mind could have taken the form of a ropelling wave. We tell our Northern friends that the same sense of attachment to our own people the same confidence in their fidelity the same trust in their judgment which is cherished in the Northern puLlic mind exists here. Our Northern fellow-citizens should despise us if it did not. We should despise them if we saw that the off'scouring of our section could be elevated by them to places of honor and trust to the exclusion of their own native born and long-tried citizens; and we say that the Federal Government and the present dominant party in the nation not only do nothing towards restoring harmony to the nation by favoring carpet-baggers in the South, but that they absolutely widen the sectional breach by their schemes to advance such men to power and place. They outrage the public sense of the Southern States, and fire anew the resentments of a generous and loyal people loyal to all their public obliga tions, State and national. SPECIAL NOTICES.
