The Latent from Europe Prussia's Won
dcrlnl Success.
The European news brought ns by the American
and by the Noea Scotian is of almost startling
Interest The Prussians are sweeping down Into
Austria like an avalanche, crushing everything
before them. The culmination of the contest,
thus far, was in a tremendous pitched battle oi
the 3d ol July, at Sudowa, In which the Prus
sians were commanded by tb Kin in person,
and the Austrians by Field-Marshal Bbnedek,
and which resulted in a complete victory tor the
Prussians, the Austrians losing 14,000 prisoners
aad 118 cannon.
The previous contest! are now shown to have
been uniformly favorable tor the Prussians.
The three days battles of the 2Gtli, 27th, and
28th of June took plaoe along an extended line,
and were caused by the movements of tha
two Prussian amnios, under the Crown Prince
and Prince Charles, towards a concentration
in Northern Bohemia. The one of these wan
moving from the direction of Saxony, where it
bad captured Dresden; the other was the main
army of Silesia. The obvious design of the
Austrian commander was to fall upon the ad
vancing columns of these armies separately be
fore they could form a unction, and thus
drive them back, or destroy them in detail. In
these preliminary engagements the Austrians
pretended to have achieved 'success, and
in the ImuWplic'ty of details and amid
tne contradictory nature of the despatches,
it was difficult to form a correct Judgment as to
the real facts in the case. One circumstance,
however, did not escape the eyes of the caretul
observer, and that was that, although the Aus
trians claimed victories in these early battles,
the Prussians had absolutely advanced their
linos and had already secured a firm foothold
across the Bohemian frontier. It wan like the
successes which the Rebels used to claim in the
campaign between Grant and Lbb from the
Bapidan down, when every Rebel victory was
unaccountably followed by an advance of Grant
and a falling back of Lhb.
This was the condition of affairs previous to
the accounts brought us by the late arrivals.
From them we learn that in all these prelimi
nary engagements the Prussians were uniformly
successful, especially In the battles of the 27th
and 28th of June, in which the Austrian corps
under Gablbnz was completely broken up,
losing prisoners, guns, and colors in
large numbers. As a consequence, the
Prussian armies had now got safely
through the mountain passes, and had crowded
down well into the open country, the Austrians
falling back towards the southeast, so as to
cover the railroad leading to Vienna, and
taking up a strong position at Gitchin, a little
town of some 3000 inhabitants, a short distance
southeast of Turnau, and about fifty miles north
east of Prague. Here, upon the 29th of June,
the next battle took place, the Prussians carry
ing the town by storm, and Inflicting great
damage upon the Austrians. Up to this time,
In the brief campaign commencing on the 26th
of June, the Austrian losses are stated to have
footed up the enormous sum of 20,000 killed
and wounded and 15,000 prisoners. Several
battalions had been completely annihilated.
The Saxon Corps, the Clam-Gallas Corps, the
Gablenz Corps, and the Kalik .Brigade
had been thoroughly broken up, and
were no longer in a condition to fight. More
over, the two great Prussian armies had now
formed a complete union, and were in excellent
spirits apd condition. To add to the glory of the
occasion, the King had himself arrived, and
taken formal command of the Prussian hosts in
person. In this threatening condition of affairs
the Austrian commander had but one resource,
and that was to concentrate his whole army for
a great battle. Tb.ii he did at Sudowa, a point
between Joseph&tadt and Koniggratz, a short
distance direotly north of Pardiroitz. Here the
Prussian army attacked him on the 3d instant.
The battle raged furiously for twelve hours.
Until 10 A. M. the advantages seemed to be on
the side of the Austrians, but from that time the
the Prussians had the best of It, and at 2 P. M.
they stormed the strong point of the Austrian
position, and drove them from the field. Evening
found the Austrian army in full and disorderly
retreat for Koniggratz, pursued by the Prussian
cavalry. The magnitude ot the victory may be
estimated from tne fact that up to the evening
of the 4th, the Prussians had captured fourteen
thousand unwoundud prisoners, and one hun
dred and sixteen cannon I Prince Licbtknstrin
and Prince Windischuraiz were tairen prisoners,
throe Austrian Archdukes were wounded, Ga ie
ral Count Hums was shot in the head, and Colo
nel Binder, and other staff officers, killed.
But the significance of this defeat to the Aus.
trlans may beBt be inferred from the fact tbat,
on the very next day, the Kraperor hastened to
telegraph to Louis Napolbon, offtring to cede to
him Venttia and acotptmg his mediation, for
peace. This shows that Austria is in extremity.
The Km peror Napolbon immediately telegraphed
to the King of Prussia to obtain an armistice.
Whether the King agreed to grant one or not is
not stated.
For the present the Prussians are masters of
the situation. They have isolated the Austrian
army, under Bkhmmsk, from the Joint Austrian
and Fedoral forces in the West, in and about
Frankforiron the-Main. They have concentrated
an Immense aimy in Central Bohemia. Well
appointed, ably commanded, and flushed with
uninterrupted victory in a campaign of wonder
ful oharaoter, there is apparently nothing to
Btop them this side of Vienna. It la no longer a
question of empire for Austria, but one ot life
THE DAILY EY1WWQ TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,

President of Poor Law Board Mr. Hardy.
There fc little to attract attention in its for
mation. The absence of Sir Edward Bulwbr
Lytton is noticeable, and pives rise to com
ments in the British press, Mr. Henlkt, also,
although previously identified with the Tory
Adminixtra'.lon, holds no portfolio in tho fusion
Cabinet. The successful competitor of Mr.
Gladstonb for the scat from Oxford, Mr.
Gatiiornr Hardy, comes in as President tf the
Pour Law Board. While the Duke of L"ok
ingham and Cuandos is President of the
Council, Lord Cranbornb, well known as a on
trlbutor to the Quarterly, Is Seorelary for India.
It cannot full to be of interest to our read, n to
know romething ot the past lite ot each ot ' ho 30
who are now to have the control of the migtaues
foreign power:
Edward Geoffrey Smith Stanley, Earl of
Derby, is 67 year old. At the Hge ot 21 he en
tered Parliament, and distinguished himself as
a ready debater. In 1821 hu was Under-Secret ry
for the Colonies, which position he held under
two Administrations. In the year 1823 he went
away, but vthon in 1830 Lord Grey formed a
reformed Cabinet, Mr. Stanley was appointed
Chief Secretary for Ireland. In 1833 he wai ap
pointed Secretary for the Colonies, with the
special charge of abolishing slavery in the West
Indies, which duty he faithfully executed. In 1841
he was Colonial Secretary under Sir Robert
Peel. In 1844, bclore his accession to the
Peerape as E..rl of Derby, tie was created Baron
Stanley, and took hisseat in the Peer. In 1815,
upon the defeat of Peel, Lord Stanley wad in
vited to form a Protective Cabinet, but declined.
In 1861 be succeeded to the vast estates of the
Earl of Derby. In 1852 Lord Uussrll was de
feated, and Derby called upon to form a Cabinet,
which he did. His Ministry was short-lived, for
when the year went outthev went out with, it.
In 1858 Russell was again defeated, when Derby
once more came in. This also was as a flower of
the field, lor it perished in a day. And now alter
eight years' battliug in the opposition, h-; Is ouce
more at the head of allair. It is probable that
his official service will cease before the year has
expired.
The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli is sixty
one year of age. He commenced the study of
the law in London ; but on the appearance of
"Vivian Grey" and other novels he rose rapidly
into public notice. In 1831 he stood tor Parlia
ment, but wai defeated. The same ambition
and result occurred in 1834. Asrain, in 1837, he
stood, and that time with success. His reputa
tion is rather ot a literary than political nature,
although he is an able speaker. In 1849 he was
the bead of the Commons. In 1852 he was
Chancellor of the Exchequer under Derby. He
held the same office in 1859, and now, for the
fourth time, holds it in 1866. It will be noticed
that two men renowned in the field of letters
are the heads of the most powerful Government
of Europe Darby, as translator of " Homer,"
and Disraeli, as a novelist.
Lord Edward Henry Stanley, the oldest son
of the Earl of Derby, was born at Knowsley In
1826. In 1848 he was elected me Tiber for Lynn
Regis, as the successor of Lord G. Bhntinck.
In 1850 he delivered a celebrated speech on the
subject of the Sugar Colonies. He then visited
India, and during his absence was appointed, in
March, 1852, Under-Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs in the Derby Ministry. Though
conservative in politics, he entertains very
liberal opinions on many subjects, euch as the
Church rates. When Sir W. Moleswortu died
in 1855, and a vacancy was thereby created in
the Colonial Office, Lord Palmersion offered
Lord Stanley the seals of the office, the accept
ance of which he however declined. In 1858
and 1859, when his father again came into power,
he was appointed Secretary of State for India.
The Right Hon. Henry Howard Herbert,
Earl of Carnarvon, who has been appointed
Secretary for the Colonies, was born in 1831, and
graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, In 1852.
During his minority he succeeded to the title
and estates of his father, and noon after taking
his beat in the Upper House, he made his maiden
speech, which called forth the encomiums of
the Earl of Derby. In 1859 he was nominated
by the same distinguished statesman High
Steward ot the University of Oxford. Earl
Carnarvon has his reputation yet to make,
a The Right Honorable Specer Horatio Wal
pole, who holds the office of Home Secretary
tor the third time, was born in 1806, and edu
cated at Cambridge, where he obtained a good
deal of distinction. As Secretary of Srale for
the Home Department in Lord Derby's Cabinet
of 1852, he carried through Parliament the bill
for embodying the militia. He returned to otlice
with Lord Derby in the same capacity. He has
represented the Cnlversltv ot Cambridge in the
House of Commons since 1R5G. He is a great
srrandson of the lamous Sir Aobert Walpolb,
trrt Earl of Oxford.
Robert Arthur TALBOT.Viscount Cranbornb,
the new Secretary of Slate for India, is the eldest
living son of the Marqtii. ol Salisbury, who was
a member of both Earl Derby's previous Cabi
nets. He was born in 1830, and has been M. P.
fcr the family borough of Stamford since 1853.
He has not held office before. 1
y,The Right Honorable Lleuteuant-Generitl
Jonathan Pebl, Secretary for War, succeeds to
office by prescriptive right, having filled the
same position in the Derby Cabinet of 1858-9.
ne is a fifth son of the first Sir Robert Pbel,
and was born in 1799. From 1841 to 1816 he
was Surveyor General of Ordnance. He is
popularly considered an "old fogy," being not
only a Tory of the ancient school, but a man
of little force in Parliament.
The Duke of Buckingham and Chanbos, Presi
dent of the Council, was a lord of the Treasury
in the last Derby Ministry. He was horn in the
year 1823; was appointed (being then Earl
Temple) keeper of the privy seal to the Prince
of Walbs m 1853, and succeeded to the dukedom
la 1861. He U more distinguished for the lustre
of lis ancestry, among whom are tho Grbn
vrtLiw and Lord Temple, statesmen of the time
of Gborob II and Oborob III, than for his per
sonal achievements.
Ol the lesser lights of the Ministry wo have no
room to speak. The complexion of the entire
Cabinet, it will be noticed, is the Fame as that
short-lived administration of 1852 and 1868-9.
We predict for the present inoumbency as pre
mature a death.
A lesson from the City Commissioner's
Case.
Wb published on Saturday the decision rendered
by Judge Allison In the contested election case
of D. P. Wbavbb vs. John Given. The Court,
in giving its decision, was not over-nice In Its
denunciation of the. lraud which had been at
tempted on the will of the people. The opinion
read as follows:
That the bold and flagrant fraud conneoted with,
tho amir vote, which wad established beyond uo
cctsml contradiction or reasonable question, required
ns to bold that uotliiug (hurt ot proof of trattd,
equally specific and direct, ouvlit to be woisrhed bv
the Court as a set-off to a delicately planned y
t. m of vhotrtile forgery vhlch, before tn Koiurn
Judaea, overthrew the real majority of Weavbr, m
it atp. area upon the face or the returns of the himo
vote, and gave the election to Uivex by a majority of
822. W e said to the respondent tbat a forgery, to
f,rot and txtinxive in tin character, o defiant in lis
assault upon tho expressed will ot the people, ami
so kuooemlul in its intended purpose, when actuated
ana exposed by the dearest etidunoe, which was
wholly uncontradicted, oiurht not to be allowed to
be turned aside or overcome, except by tneestebinh
mcnt of other frauds, plain, palpable, and direct."
In accordance with this opinion, the right of
Muor Weaver to the seat has been fully and
clearly established. There Is no honest man in
our city be he Republcanor Democrat who
will not rejoice that the duly elected servant of
the people has at lat got bis dues. In addition,
the cmdidate supported by a " wholesale
forgery" has been ousted, and stands betore the
community in the proper disgraceful light in
which such an etlort should appear.
JonN Given received the Republican nomina
tion for the office of Commissioner by a malority
of one vote in a full convention. He was the
choice ot a corrupt political ring, whhh ignored
all responsibility to the people, and believed
that a party is merely a machine for personal
aggrandisement. We have so long been accus
tomed in our city to submit to the choice ot tho
Convention, and to elect, without questioning,
any man whom they may nominate, that the
pol tical wire pullers had at last come to 03
heveihat the character of tl.e cnndidatP had
but little to do with success. It was merely his
paity principles which the people examined.
iLtluenced by this fallacious belief, Givkn was
nominated; and the result was, that while all the
red ot his party bad some thouunds majority,
he, running ten thousand votes behind his ticket,
was defeated.
One would have thought that after a rebuke
to openly and bitterly administered, such a
popular declaration that ten thousand of his
political friends did not believe him honest; that,
this man Given would have quietly allowed his
competitor to enter in the office. aua he, hiding his
dtminh-hed head, seek l save what little char
acter was left. But such was not the case. A
system of the most flaerant and wholesale forgery
was resorted to. Our honored soldiers were
impressed into the scheme, the names of the
lamented dead were dragged forth from respected
resting-places, and made to figure in the dis
honest ellort. Nothing was too sacred for
violation, and the ballot given to the soldier
was prostituted to the base purpose of personal
dishonesty. We use strong terms, but no
stronger than those made use of by the jaalclary.
That branch ol our civil service into which pas
sion never enters, which speaks only in the
calm tone of judicial and deliberate conviction,
has made use ot language far stronger than our
own.
It has been stated by certain opposition jour
nals that this man Given was the Republican
nominee, was elected by Republican votes, and
supported by Republican influence during the
contest. The effoit to make political capital
out of personal dishonesty is no new dodge in
our local quarrels, but we are thankful that
the Republican party can wash its hands of all
the crimes of its candidate. He was not nomi
nated by the mass of the party, a clique secured
the candidacy, and notwithstanding the prestige
attached to a regular nomination, ten thousand
members of the party refused to lend him their
support He was defeated by Republican votes.
As soon as the result was announced the Repub
lican press of this city, with singular unanimity,
argued in iavor of Major Weaver. For months
that gentleman has had no stronger friends in
his own political ranks than in the editorial
chairs of the Philadelphia papers. They have
denounced the fraud, and utterly repudiated the
man who was guilty of the crime. A Republican
judge has decided in favor of Major Weaver, and
the Republican press are to-day congratulating
the community over the defeat ot their own
party candidate. Can greater honesty or greater
frankness be found than they have exhibited T
We think not The skirts ot the Union party
are tree from all the mire which has covered Its
nominee. He has been read out of the party,
and from bis defeat some lessons, timely and im
portant, should bo learned by the conductors of
political rings the first of which is the deduc
tion that no dishonest man, that no man
whose character is blemished, can be elected
to an official position because he gets a
nomination. Party Hues are clearly drawn,
but there are enough honest and independent
voters in Philadelphia to keep any rogue out of
place. When a man has milled his reputation,
bis party must drop him, and not seek to clear
his misdeeds by 'giving them their sanction.
There has never been a more united, and seldom
a more powerful local party than the Republi
can in Philadelphia, yet they utterly failed to
elect a bad man. Let this example be remem
bered, and let us never again have a candidate
selected by a ring, which will compel honest
men to scratch the ticket and support a Demo
crat The second Ipssod is that, although in national
matters party principles are all potent in local
affairs the people will look rather to the man
than to their doctrines. What we want is
honesty and efficiency, and it a Democrat p is
seseg them, and a Republican does not the
Democrat will probably be elected.
Mow one word to John Given. There once
upon a time lived a man named William
Shakespeare, and this man wrote a pluy called
Ufnry VI1L In It ho makes "Cardinal Wolsey"
'ay, "Corruption wins not more than
honesty." Now, Mr. Given, although without
your valuable case as a precedent, this man
Soakrsfbari was right To be corrupt is
likely to be successful than it honesty is the
rule of action. Throughout your whole cond not
of the rase, you have exhibited a total ignorance
of this cardinal principle; and 11 at tho outset
you had invested in a copy of the Bard of
Avon, you would not have been obliged "to
learn in suffering what U taught in song."
Death of Captain Strllwaorw, TJ. S.
N.-We regret to announce the snddon death of
Capiain Benry S. 8Ullwaren, or the United Mates
Navy, hioti occurred yesterday afternoon, at Caps
Island, New Jersey. Captain 8tl:wairn was one
of our most prominent citizens, as well as an offioer
of rare worth.
lie was conoeraod in sme of the mot prominent
actions Id our lto war. He was in command of the
Merctdita in the action off Charleston harbor, when
the Befools undertook to raise the blockade by attack,
in onr blookadnir vessels wuh their Iron-clada-In
that aotion he was so severely injured that he
&erenrecoverei from its efibcU. At the o'oe ot tha
action h wna paroled by the Kebwls, but the I'reii
d nt and Secretary of the Navy did not recognize
tho parole as binding. It, bowevor, to avoid any
question, neat him in command or the Conite'lntion
lothe Mediterranean.
On his return to this country in 1864, at the ter
mination of hi crais", he was sent oat, and teok
ctmmand of the aloop-of-war Pawnee, which vu
thin blockading off Charleston, 8outh Carolina.
He did not stay in command ol her long, owinc to
his iaoreaslng illness, but was oondomned and
sent home on sick leave in April, 1836.
From that time be has not been oaoable
of being in service. Capiain Stollwaren waa uni
versally beloved. As an officer and a private eltiion
he has always commandod the renpeot and admira
tion ot all who have been associated with him. lie
was fifty-four years old, and leaves a wife and several
children. He will bo buried from bis lato residence,

Throughout the whole series of remarkable
dents which have resulted in the disruption of
the Germanic Confederation, the conquest of
Hanover and Saxony, and the recent disastrous
and overwhelming defeat of the Austrian army
under General Benedek, there has been appa
rent on the part of Prussia, the directing power
and resistlecs energy of a slugle mighty mind.
'The man of blood and iron," the proud, domi
neering, restless Bismark, is the master spirit
of those great events which are startling all
r uropo. Throuehout the whole contest he has
displayed the characteristics of one who felt that
he was master ot the situation.
He hns exhibited an Inflexibility of purpose, a
promptness of execution, and a thorough com
prehension of lacts, which stamp him as not
only one oi the first men in Europe, but us one
ol the most remarkable characlers ot modern
times. Never has the value of promptitude in
national atlairs been more signally shown. When
be had made up his mind to take possession of
the Duchies, it was done instantly, and in such
force that no resistance was practicable. Wh'-n
a rupture with the minor States of Germany be
came inevitable, he did not wait for explana
tions, or for the exchange of diplomatic notes,
but moved his armies at once upon them, thus
gaining advantages of position and a moral pres
tige of success of the very highest importance.
In the campaign with the Aubtrians the same
qualities have shone out conspicuously. The
Prussian movements have been prompt, power
ful, unremitted, and most wonderfully successful.
It is true he bos had good material to work
with, but he hs shown that he knew how to
use it
We may be sure that re have not yet heard
the last of this remarkable man. He has but
one peer in Europe, and that is the Emperor
ii AroLKUN. me ueiu neiorc mm is an inviting
one. Events ate ripe tor the hand of a master
to mould aLd direct ' bem. We shall near more
ot this man of blood and iron ("Der Mann von
blut und Eisenr) this terrible Bismarck.
The Prussian Needle Guns.
Onr thing which is said to have contributed
essentially to the success of the Prussians in
their recent battles with the Austrians is the
celebrated "needle gun," with which the former
are armed. This gun has told with terrible
effect upon the Austrian masses. One military
correspondent, who was an eye-witness of one of
the battles, says tbat In the tiring of infantry the
proportion of Austriaus wno lell to that of Prus
sians was as six to one.
The Proposed Cession of Venetla.
The Austrian Emperor finding himself In danger
ot losing his crown, having already lost his best
army, has offered to cede Venetla to Louis
Napoleon. The general impression seems to
be tbat this will terminate the war. There are
many difficulties in the way, however, and it is
too early to form a decisive judgment in regard
to the matter. Prussia's plans and desires will
now be a very important element in the final
settlemtnt of the difficulties.
The Tribune this morning concludes an able
address to Congress with the following pertinent
appeal:
"Gentlemen In Congress t we pray you not to ad
journ without doing temtthiiiy to check the outward
flow ot Government bunds bearing six per oent. in
terest la gold, and sold in .Europe for 80 to 85 per
cent, below their nominal value. We wish you
would bom contract the currency and increase the
tariff; wepra? jou not to leave Wastiington without
doina one or the otnerl And, If any m asure which
may seem partial, inadequate, m rely palliative,
aliould be presented, we eu treat every champion of
ational tolvency and home industry to Kive it a
hearty support. Make it betier if you can ; but vote
for any tbiutr tbat tends to diminish, if but by a mic
tion, the inundation of our country with lorein
goods and fore fin debt "
Thx motion to increase tne pay of members of
Congress from $3000 to $4G00 is a highly proper
one. We favor a still larger increase. If a man
is qualified to fill the position of national legis
lator, he can make more than $4000 a year.
The expense ot living at Wahfpgton is so dear
that an able but poor man is either compelled
to decline election, or else to resort to that
system of bribery which Is so di?graceful to our
American politics.
