TUB WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.
The position taken by Napoleon in the pre
sent threatening European complication is
not calculated to secure for him sympathy
either in this country or in Europe. He pro
poses to go to war on account of the eleva
tion of a prince of Prussian extraction to the
Spanish throne, and coupled with this threat
the ' statement of the Spanish minister at
Tarn that France opposes all nominations
save that of the Prince of Asturias, the son
cf the exiled Isabella. In the light of past
events the Emperor of the French cuts a
eorry figure in insisting that the people of
Spain mu&t accept a Bourbon as their
monarch, and that he will, by force
of arms, prevent them from exercising
freedom of choice among more acceptable can
didates. "Who could have expected the repre
sentative of the revolutionary Napoleons to
Leoome the armed champion of the effete
Bourbons, and to insist that, despite tho
rigorous exclusion of the latter from France,
they must rule the adjacent country of Spain
in defiance of the protests of her people?
The present Emperor has himself set at defi
ance all the traditions and principles alike of
the monarchists and republicans of Europe,
lie threw down the gauntlet to the former
when he was elected President of the French
Republic of 1848, and he outraged the latter by
the coup d'etat of 1851. He seeks to justify
Lis assumptions of power by the allegation
that he is sustained by the popular will of
France, as declared in her one-sided elec
tions, and yet he denies to Spain the privi
lege of exercising this right of free suffrage
under analogous circumstances. At the pre
sent moment the war fever seems to rage
fiercely in France, and the hatred and jealousy
of Prussia, which have been intensified by her
recent accessions of territory, make many
Frenchmen anxious to measure swords with
the Prussians, and to reassert French supre
macy. If war ensues, however, by Napo
leon's overt act, all the moving causes of the
conflict will be carefully canvassed,
and if it shall appear that Napoleon's dynastic
fears and unprincipled intrigues, rather than
Prussian ambition, provoked the struggle, he
will be more apt to reap ignominy and danger
than glory and safety from the strife. The
attitude assumed by Prussia is dignified.
"When she says she has nothing whatever to
do with the controversy, and that it must be
settled by Spain on her own responsibility,
the onus is thrown on Napoleon of either com
mencing war without sufficient provocation
or of bullying the Spaniards into a rejection
of Hohenzollern." If the Cortes decide against
Lira on account of the Napeleonic bluster, a
peaceful solution of the question will thus be
speedily made. If, however, they elect him
King, and Napoleon attempts to dethrone
Lim by force of arms, in a campaign against
Spain, he will disgust every liberal French
man and become the laughing-stock of tho
world, besides encountering the danger that
the Spaniards, in a defensive contest, will
prove as troublesome to him as they were to
the founder of his dynasty. Prussia shows
no disposition to precipitate a -conflict, dis
placing rather an anxiety to avoid it if it can
Le avoided honorably. If Napoleon, however,
thrusts a conflict upon her, and she can
satisfy the Germans that they are summoned
to resist aggressive Napoleonic ambition,
the French will find a foeman worthy of their
steel, and the contest will be as likely to
wind up with a Sadowa as a Solferino.
THE SCI10EPPE CASE.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania disposed
of the Schoeppe case last week by refusing to
open the judgment, and by directing that tho
record should be remitted. Thus the original
decision of the Cumberland county court is
fully nd finally affirmed. The act framed by
the last Legislature to give to the prisoner
an opportunity for a full revision of all the
proceedings which resulted in his condemna
tion has not improved in the slightest his
legal status. A jury of the vicinage in which
Lis imputed crime was committed declared
Lim to be guilty of murder, and the highest
court of the State, after being empowered
with authority to inquire into all the circum
stances attending his trial, has found no
cause to alter the original judgment. In the
midst of the clamor made some months ago
we expressed the opinion that Schoeppe's
guilt had been clearly established,
and the correctness of this opinion is now
authoritatively affirmed. This decision again
makes Governor Geary the sole arbiter of
bchoeppe's fate. He had previously investi
gated the proceedings without discovering
any reason why the judgment of the Court
Should be set aside, and if be adheres to the
opinion which subsequent event.? have
rather confirmed than weakened, Schoeppe's
death-warrant will in the natural course of
events soon be issued. No equally zealous
effort to rescue a condemned murderer from
the gallows was ever, before made in this
Commonwealth, while few convictions were
based on stronger evidence. If Geary was
not proverbially fickle, Schoeppe's case would
je unalterably determined by the action of
the Supreme Court. It remains to be aeon,
however, whether in this instance the Gov
ernor will exercise his favorite privilege of
Changing his mind, either by postponing
Action or by issuing a pardon.
THE FIREMEN'S It 10 TS YEBTERDA Y.
TnE rioting and incendiarism with which
this city was disgraced yesterday must con
vince those who have doubted heretofore that
the substitution of a paid fire department for
the present volunteer system is demanded by
every consideration of decency, economy, and
public safety. Che volunteer department has
done such good service in times past, and it
has numbered in its ranks so many of the
most esteemed and worthy citizens of Phila
delphia, that many who saw the growing ne
cessity for a change were loth to interfere
with it. A great city like this, how
ever, cannot afford to maintain in its
midst an organization of men who
will be able, whenever they may want
a little excitement, or desire to gratify
their bloodthirsty dispositions, to get up a
riot like that of yesterday. All the evidence
that has yet been adduced points conclusively
to the fact that the outrages of yesterday
were deliberately planned by the ruffianly
element of the department, and the respect
able firemen, for whose sake chiefly the
present system has been submitted to so
long, owe it to themselves that they shall
unite with their fellow-citizens in denouncing
the rioters, in endeavoring to bring them to
punibhment, and in bringing about a
radical reform wljioh will make such occur
rences impossible in the future. There is
no reason to doubt that both of the fires that
occurred early on Sunday morning were the
woik of incendiaries in the Fire Department.
They were lighted by men who have made
extensive claims upon the regards of tho pub
lic, who have been subsidized from the pub
lic treasury, and who had been granted
various privileges on the ground that they
undertake to protect the lives and property
of the people of Philadelphia. Thousands of
dollars' worth of property, however, were con
sumed yesterday morning for no other pur
pose than to afford gangs of ruffians au op
portunity to start a riot, which was kept up
almost without intermission during nearly
the whole of the Sabbath.
It is not necessary for us to go into tho
details of the riot in this place, nnd it is
enough for us to recognize it as the culmina
tion of a long series of outrages that show
the litter demoralization of tho volunteer de
partment. The firemen have been warned
again and again that it depended upon them
selves entirely whether a paid .department
would be established, but tho decent men
among them have been utterly unable to con
trol the ruffianly element, and between the
incendiarism, thieving, and rioting that have
characterized the volunteer department of
late years, the people of Philadelphia have had
quite enough of it, and now demand that a
change shall be made.
A large portion of the blame of the present
demoralization among the firemen is charge
able to Councils, who have never given that
Bupport to the orderly and respectable men
that they were entitled to. It is nearly use
less to suspend a company for rioting or other
bad conduct, for an application to Councils
for reinstatement and the refunding of the
appropriation forfeited by suspension is
almost invariably considered with favor, and
a direct premium is thus paid for bad con
duct. This sort of thing will continue so
long as the present system of extinguishing
fires lasts,and'the only way to produce a com
plete and radical reform is to abolish the
volunteer department at once and forever,
and establish a corps of men, under
the immediate orders of the munici
pal authorities, who will make the
extinguishing of fires the business of their
lives, and not the amusement of their idle
hours. A great city like this cannot afford
to run the risk of having its Sabbaths dese
crated, its property destroyed, and its citi
zens outraged by bands of ruffians; and all the
arguments against the increased expense of a
paid fire department are of no moment what
ever, if a few thousand dollars per annum
will insure us against the repetition of such
scenes as those of yesterday. Councils have
adjourned for the summer, but we believe
that the Mayor would meet the wishes of a
very large majority of the people of Philadel
phia if he would call a special session for the
purpose of taking action upon this matter
immediately; but whether he does so or not,
it is sincerely to be hoped that no effort will
be spared to discover and bring to justice the
ringleaders in the riots of yesterday. Unless
this is done there will be no security whatever
for life or property, and every citizen will feel
that his family and his goods are at the mercy
of gangs of ruffians, whose opportunities for
mischief are only equalled by their propensity
to commit it.
THE IN COME -T A X INFAMY.
It seems settled now that the fruitful parent
of fraud in our revenue system, the unjust,
inquisitorial, and odious income tax, mast
bo continued another year. The bill may get
to a committee of conference; but, unfor
tunately, the tax on incomes has been ac
cepted by both houses, and will not be
6tricken out by the committee. "What is most
mortifying to the great masses of the people
is the fact that the Senate, by a decided vote,
when the body was nearly full, declared
against this oppressive and objectionable tax,
and afterwards, in a thin Senate, by the help
of artful bt cowardly dodgers, it was re
stored. No reason was given to the nation
for this 6tiange action of the Senate. No
public necessity could be pleaded in justifica
tion of the act. It was done almost without
debate, and at a time when a number of the
leading opponents of the measure were
absent. Hut the trick was so transparent
and the restoration so utterly inexcusable,
that those who did it were shamed into allow
ing a reconsideration; and on the test vote of
rescinding the action of tho Sonate on con
tinuing the income tax there was a tie 2(1
to 'Jti.
What is especially humiliating tot he busi
ness men of Philadelphia is the fact that
Mutator Cameron dodged the vote and thereby
aUoxc(d the income tax tu remain in the bill.
He cannot plead that the vote was unex
pected, nor can he claim (hut ha was not in
or near to the Senate. His name appears in 1
the proceedings of the Senate but a short
time before the vote was taken, and he must
have left with the full knowledge that the
test vote on the income tax was soon to be
taken. While there was any possible danger
of restoring the tax on gross . receipts, to im-A
pair the revenues of his vast railroad and
other corporate interests, he was faith
fully at his post; but when that danger
was over, he retreated from the Senate to
enable a minority to reimpose upon the peo
ple the most iniquitous and offensive tax ever
inflicted upon any nation. It is not disguised
that the income tax was re-en act ell to enable
corporations to escape the tax on gross re
ceipts, and the conviction is wide-spread that
corrupt combinations of interested parties
have made the interests of the people subor
dinate to private peculation. In this combi
nation, of whatever character it may have
been, Senator Cameron was certainly a chief
manager, and instead of meeting the issue
manfully, he skulked away, leaving to a few
Northern Senators and the carpet-baggers
the distasteful and disgraceful task.
The tax upon gross receipts, in which
Senator Cameron and other speculative Sena
tors and politicians are so deeply interested,
does not open wide the doors of fraud. Cor
porations cannot well make false returns of
their gross earnings, but individuals can
commit the most flagrant frauds upon the
Government in returning incomes. Senator
Cameron, reputed one of the most opulent
men of the State, owns, under oath, to less
than $7."0() of revenue subject to income tax,
$.'000 of which is Senatorial salary. We do
not assume that he returned his income
falsely; but if he did not, his in
come must be mainly from divi
dends and interest on corporation stocks
and bonds, which are directly and greatly
affected by the tax on gross receipts.
Whichever explanation may be the true one,
his Senatorial action, after pretending to op
pose the income tax, is none ike less dis
graceful to himself and humiliating to his
State. By his failure to vote when he had
knowledge that the test was soon to come, the
nation is made to suffer the most grievous of
all the necessitous war measures, and that,
too, when tho statement of the Treasury
was just issued, showing over $ 20, 000, 000
of the debt had been paid in a single month.
To the deliberate skulking of Senator Ca
meron, apparently actuated by his great in
terest in releasing other sources of taxation,
are we indebted for the re-enactment of the
only tax that is inquisitorial in its operation,
that endangers individual credit, that invites
every scoundrel to defraud the Government,
and that is odious to nineteen-twentieths of
the loyal people of the country. By Came
ron's cowardly refusal to vote on the question,
a horde of greedy official cormorants are con
tinued to inquire into the private business of
the people and waste their substance.
Almost with one accord the leading Republican,
press of the great business and commercial
sections protest against it, and thousands of
earnest Republicans feel that they have been
corruptly betrayed by a ring of speculators,
and that Senator Cameron is the author of
the wrong. Upon him the responsibility must
rest, and whatever the political consequenoes
may be will be chargeable to the chief po
litical trickster who has climbed into the
Senate through political prostitution and de
bauchery, to shame the noblest and best State
of the Union.
A large mass of documents was transmit
ted to the Senate on Saturday relating to
the confiscation of American property and
the unlawful imprisonment of American citi
zens by the Spanish authorities in Cuba. It
appears from the accompanying correspon
dence between Secretary Fish and the Spa
nish Minister at Washington, that the
chances of obtaining prompt redress in these
and similar cases has recently been dimin
ished by the withdrawal, from the latter, of
the authority to grant it in response to the
requests of the American Government. Thus
the old difficulties in our relations with Cuba,
which have grown out of the delays resulting
from the transmission and retransmission of
despatches from Havana to Washington,
from Washington to Madrid, and from Madrid
to Havana, are now re-established under irri
tating circumstances. Mr. Fish has directed
General Sickles to remonstrate against this
unjust policy, and we hope his remonstrances
will induce Spain to adopt a more judicious
course. In the present state of publio feel
ing, the Hidalgoes cannot afford to inflict
new outrages on American citizens. If they
attempt to postpone redress indefinitely for
the wrongs perpetrated by their officials,
Free Cuba stock may suddenly rise far be
yond their anticipations.
They have discovered a new lake in Canada,
in the vicinity of Caledonia Springs, and chris
tened it Lake Arthur. It is not the one from
which King Arthur's famous sword Escali
bar was thrust lortn by a lair nymph, but re
ceives its name from the wandering Prince of
later times. It is about a mile wide and three
quarters of a mile wide, and abounds with fish.
More people are killed by lightnintr than is
commonly supposed. According to some re
cently published statistics more than 10,000 peo
ple have been smitten by the electric fluid with
in the past thirty years, of whom 2253 were
killed outright. The fiery bolts, however, seem
to make a distinction on account of sex, for of
the bbO killed within the last ten years, only 213
were females.
