THE WAR QUESTION IN EUROPE.
From the A'. 1'. fleraW.
The situation as between France and Prus
sia ia still warlike. Our latent news, by
special telegrams and otherwise, does , not
convince us that Trance abates anything in
her extravagant demands. It is just as mani
fest that Prussia is not disposed to do any
thing which will seem to imply the abandon
ment of her rights. Spain even shows pluck,
a good deal more than was expected. The Em
peror Napoleon has fonnd it necessary to
return from St. Clond to the Tuilerios. Baron
Werther, the Prussian Ambassador, has re
turned from Ems, where he was closeted
with his royal master, and is now in Paris.
Ollivier still talks big, bu,t whether he talks
without or with a fall knowledge of Baron
Werther's mission we are as yet left to conjec
ture. It has been rumored that King William
is not unwilling to advise Prince Leopold to
withdraw his name as a candidate for the
crown of Spain. , This, however, he does as
head of the house of Hohenzollern, not as
King of Prussia. It is also rnmored that
Franoe will not hare this, regarding it at a
subterfuge which would leave her morally
worsted. On the part of Prussia now, as well
aa. on the part of France, preparations for war
go on apace. From a Paris source we learn
that the King of Prussia has had frequent
audiences with Baron de Moltke. Moltke, it
will be remembered, was the soul of the suc
cess of the campaign against Austria in IsfiG
that most brilliant of campaigns, which, in
sit Bhort weeks, laid the mighty power of
Austria low. The corps at Cassol, at Hanover,
and in the Elbe provinces are to be rein
forced. Seventy thousand troops are
ordered to the line of the Rhine. The
Bourbons, younger and older, encourage
Prince Leopold to accept the Spanish crown
and brave the consequences, believing, no
doubt, that ' the complications which might
result from the same would redound to their
advantage. Accusations and recriminations
were rife on both sides, in Paris and Berlin.
Paris was vastly excited; Berlin looked to the
front. The Empress Eugenie was accused of
a war agency of fomenting war in the inte
rest of the Prince of the Asturias. Prim pro
claims a "Vive VEsjmgne." In the French
Legislature the oppositionists derided the
war idea of Bonaparte, and ridiculed the no
tion of a "decrepit invalid" heading the army '.
of France. England supported the Prus-uan
position, but recommended peace by the
withdrawal of Prince Leopold. Excitement
still prevailed on 'Change and the continental
bourses. It was said, indeed, that the Prince
had withdrawn.
At the present moment, therefore, war is
as likely as not. France seems to wish it,
and Prussia is not afraid. If war does break
out it will be after a fashion such as the world
has never seen before. The military art has
shared the advantages of modern progress.
The vast and rapidly accumulating resources
of science are as available for purposes of
destruction as they are for ameliorating the
condition of mankind. War between France
and Prussia, the two most gigantic military
powers of Europe if always we leave Russia
and Great Britain out of the question will be
short, sharp, and decisive beyond every pre
vious war on a corresdonding scale of magni
tude in the whole history of the world. In
our own civil war, in the war of 1806 between
Prussia and Austria, in the war of 1850-60,
between Austria on the one hand and Italy
and France on the other, we had glimpses of the
new agents which, by making war destructive
beyond all conception, promise to hasten the
time when war will be numbered with the
things that were. It was the railroad and the
telegraph, more than our superiority in num
bers, that gave us the -victory over our
Southern brothers. It was the skilful use of
those two agents that gave Prussia the victory
of Sadowa and that added to the glories of
the French empire the names of Magenta
and Solferino. Had the First Napoleon been
privileged to make use of those two agents
his wondrous faculty for combining and
concentrating his forces would have made
easy not the conquest of Europe only, but of
the world. For ages war was conducted very
much on the Eame principle. The first great
revolution in the art of war was the Roman
road. This it was which made the conquests
of Rome more rapid, more extensive,
end more enduring than those of Greece.
With the decline of the Roman power
came the decay of the magnificent causeways
that made the Roman empire a practical
unit. War in consequence, during the Dark
Ages, was conducted very much after the
fashion of village brawls. The dawn of
modern Europe was marked by the invention
of gunpowder and the use of firearms, as well
as bv the discovery of the art of printing.
With increasing knowledge war gradually as
sumed larger proportions and revealed more
dangerous tendencies. The armies of the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
in point of bulk,recalled the armies of ancient
Rome. Bat the use of firearms, imperfect as
the firearms then were, made war infinitely
more destructive. ' The wars that grew out of
the Revolution or 1 i S) the wars of Napoleon
and Wellington, made the wars of Conde and
Turenne, of Marlborough and Eugene, insigni
ficant in comparison, isut during the twenty
years that followed the I rench Revolution
there was nothing Which could compare with
that rapidity of movement and concentration
of force which culminated at Solferino, or
with that series of blows which laid Austria
prostrate on the field of Sadowa. Our own
war, as we have said already, furnishes nuine
xous and striking examples of the advantages
of tue two agents, the railroad and the tele
. graph. It is not to be denied, however, that
if war were to break out between Prussia and
Austria, the collision and the consequence
would be sometning terrifically new in the his
tory of human experience. Blood would be
Doured forth in actual, not fi curative torrents.
Lives would be sacrificed not by thousands
only, but by hundreds of thousands. Bat the
struggle could not be of lone duration, and
the result might be final, if not absolutely and
on all hands satisfactory.
A FILIBUSTERING EPISODE.
From the S. T. Time.
The most prominent variation in the usual
catalogue of earthquakes and actual or incipi
ent revolutions, which forms the staple of
the news from Central America, is the ac
, count describing the pursuit and capture of
the filibustering steamer Forward. Previous
advices bv way of Havana gave some intima
tions of this event, but the particulars now
before us from San Francisco make it more
intelligible and interesting. It may be ne
cessary to recall the fact that the animating
spirit of the late disturbance in Mexico is
Flacido Vega, and that his deolared pro
gramme is to establish what he calls the
Northwestern Mexican Republic The
name of the General will be found affixed
to the protest issued by Rivero, on
the r.th May, 1868, against the so-called usur
pations of the citizen-President, Benito
Juarez. Failing to revive the much-vaunted
Constitution of 18r", Vega has, with the co
operation of the Indian military chief
Lozadn, entered upon his present hopeful
scheme. The latter is a sufficiently noto
rious actor on the stago of Mexican politics.
He has for years maintained a semi-independent
authority in the kingdom of Tepio,
situated in the northwestern portion of the
State of Jalisco, and has by an amount of
lawlessness, remarkable even in a lawless
country, earned for that section of territory
the title of the "Hell of Mexico."
Aided by this precious ally, General Vega
Las maintained a desultory warfare of some
months' duration against the authority -of
TreBident Juarez. Early in May an expedi
tion was fitted out and placed under the com
mand of Colonel Vaecayno. Its object was
to levy black-mail on the commercial ports
for the furtherance of the cause of the new
republic, and the general benefit of the lead
ers. Gnaymas was selected as the first point
of attack, and Vega's instructions to his
subordinates were to levy the sum of four
hundred thousand dollars on the merchants
of that city, giving them in return promises
to pay by the projected republic. A certain
amount of discretion was allowed, should
specie not be forthcoming, to make
up the levy in mercnanaise
and munitions of war. lne strength of
the naval force chiefly consisted in
the Forward, a small steamer which had pre
viously been an English gunboat, and which,
it was said, was fitted out in the very port
which she was shortly to return to and pil
lage. On the 28th May the revolutionary
forces entered Gunymas without opposition,
and having captured the Collector of Customs
and other officials, they issued an immediate
summons to the merchants to pay up the
outstanding duties. Having obtained these
to the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars, they proceeded to make up the defi
ciency by taking possession of arms and mer
chandise as directed. The advance of a body
of national troops caused them to evacuate
the city on the following day. Two ships
were towed out of the harbor by the Forward,
and the spoils were conveyed to the appro
priate receptacle of the territory of Lozada.
I his was intended to be only the first
chapter in the cruise of the Forward. La
raz, San Bias, and Mazatlan were severally
designated for the honor of a visit, and the
privilege of contributing to the establishment
of the "North we tern Mexican Republic."
It was evident that in the interests of inter
national commerce, it was highly desirable
that the filibustering career of the Forward
should be interrupted. Fortunately, a United
States gunboat, the Mohican, happened to
be at Mazatlan; and in compliance with repre
sentations of our Consul and the merchants
of the place, her commander, Cap
tain Low, sailed in pursuit of the
buccaneer. The chase was protracted
and exciting, and the closing incidents of it
read like a chapter from Cooper's "Water
Witch." On the 17th of June the Forward
was destroyed, and her crew taken prisoners,
after causing the death of an officer and a
seaman on board the Mohican. In spite of
this, we find our Consul generously inter
posing to save the prisoners from the usual
infliction of the unfailing Mexican barbarity.
The filibusters do not appear to have been
immediately shot, as was at first reported,
though doubtless the result of their trial at
Guaymas will prove that the hews was only a
little premature.
Comment upon such a state of things is
needless. The spectacle of a government so
impotent that it cannot protect its chief
ports from the attack of a privateer mount
ing one or two guns, and whose merchants
are compelled to invoke the aid of a foreign
power to prevent their utter spoliation, is
one which custom has enabled us to regard
without astonishment, but whose continuance
is nevertheless one of the most striking
anomalies of the North American continent.
TERRIBLE OVERTHROW OF SENATOR
FENTON.
Fro- the A T. Sun.
The Hon. Reuben E. Fenton has sustained
a terrible defeat in the confirmation of the
Hon. Thomas Murphy as Collector, and the
removal of General Edwin A. Merritt as
Naval Officer of the port of New York, two of
the most important and lucrative positions in
the gift of the President. Mr. Murphy is
the determined antagonist of Senator Fenton,
having opposed his re-election for Governor
in 1806, and gone to Chicago in 18C8 to pre
vent his nomination to the Vice-Presidency;
while General Merritt has long been his
ardent supporter and confidential friend,
Fenton having made him a member of his
staff, as Quartermaster-General, while he was
Governor.
In the appointment of Murphy and the
removal of Merritt, General Grant therefore
has dealt a double blow at Fenton, and with
the intent of crippling his ' influence in the
Senate, and destroying it altogether with the
Republican party of this State. General
Grant has never liked Governor Fenton. He
opposed his nomination to the Vice-Presidency,
snubbed him in distributing the
Federal patronage in this State, and especially
in this city; and having recently got it into
his head that Fenton is secretly plotting for.
the Presidential nomination in 1872, he has
determined to bring him to grief.
The war on the part of the President is
not to end here. The head of not a single
friend of Fenton, who holds a Federal office
in this State, is now safe upon his shoulders,
bat is liable to roll from the block at a mo
ment's notice. It was this consideration
which led Fenton to abandon his usual tactics
in exigencies of thia sort. Shrewd and facile,
he has been wont to spy defeat in the dis
tance, and to seem to avoid it by quietly
acquiescing in the inevitable. He was too
sagacious not to foresee the certain confirma
tion of Murphy, and the probable
removal .of Meritt; but there
was no alternative left for him except
a cowardly retreat from the field, or a
bitter fight to the end. His friends and fol
lowers would not allow him to take the for
mer course, and he was compelled to adopt
the latter. He therefore fought the battle as
he best could; and the result is his disastrous
overthrew. A few Senators may have so far
sympathized with him as to abandon their
seats and not vote at all on the confirmation
of Murphy, the key of the position; but Fen.
ton was only able to rally two Senators to
his side in a roll-call of fifty-one. Of its
kind and degree, this is one of the worst poll
tical defeats which any prominent politician
in this State has sustained for the last twenty
years.
What has General Grant gained by this
victory? He has removed and disgraced Gen
eral Merritt, the best politician in the Cus
tom House, a shrewd and energetic man, who
has a good deal of strength with the Republi
cans of the interior; and he has put m his
ilace an amiable old gentleman, who has ut
erly failed as Collector, and who has no po
litical following anywhere. He has arousei
the bitter hostility of Senator Fenton, who,
during the twenty years that he has been
working up to hii present position, has de
veloped rare tact and vigor as a . political
strategist, and who now nan an influential
body of supporters in the Republican party
of New York.
If Senator Fenton, after this scathing re
buke and stunning blow from the administra
tion, shall continue to act with the Republi
can party, we wholly mistake his character
if he does not make his hostility to the re
nomination of General Grant verm effeotive,
and at the precis moments and places when
it will be inconvenient and perhaps impossi
ble for the President to encounter it.
Another course lies open to both Governor
Fenton and General Merritt; and that is to
gradually break off their connection with the
Republican party, and slide back into the
taDks of the Democracy the political orgaai
zation which they left, in company with a
large body of their fellow Barnburners, in
18f4-J, to aid in the formation of the Repub
lican party. The Democrats need recruits to
elect the next House of Representatives, and
to carry the next President; and though they
have been wont to roundly abuse Governor
Fenton, they must not be too fastidious in
regard to the antecedents of the allies who are
to aid them in restoring the ancient prestige
and power of their party.
THE FUNDING BILL IN A NEW FORM.
From the if. T. Tribune,
There has been no mismanagement in Con
gress during the present session more glaring
than that of the finances. The Appropriation
Committee has done much better than for
many Congresses past, but it has not re
deemed the brilliant and encouraging pro
mises of the early days of the session. The
Banking and Currency Committee has se
cured, as its principal work, a bill which we
could well have dispensed with, and which is
no sooner adopted than it develops a strong
opposition to more needful measures. The
Ways and Means Committee in the House
has failed absolutely in its tax and tariff mea
sures, reducing those duties and taxes which
were just and equitable, and imposing those
which were unjust and odious. We fear we
must now add to its other faults the sacrifice
of the most important measure of the session
the Funding bill. In brilliant contrast
with these repeated failures of the Congres
sional financiers, how far wiser and more
economical appears the straightforward, sim
ple, and positive policy of the Executive, by
which the national debt has been reduced at.
the rate of more than $12, 000,000 a month !
When the Funding bill reached the House,
though admitted to be a measure which
the whole people demanded, and every in
dustrial and commercial interest required,
action upon it was deferred several weeks in
order that the income tax, which the entire
nation execrated, might first be forced
through. It was believed that when that
object was attained the Funding bill would
be adopted, but if we are to judge by the
latest action of the House, it was a hope to
be blighted. In the last days of the session,
with half a dozen other measures to be acted
upon, a conference committee on the Fund
ing bill has proposed an entirely new mea
sure, and the House has rejected the report,
and again referred the bill to the committee.
The new bill itself is perhaps better than the
originals of House and Senate, for in the com
promise the best features or the rejected Se
nate bill were restored. Its provisions were
for a larger amount than that named
in the first bill fifteen hundred millions, in
stead of one thousand millions of dollars,
being the aggregate amount of bonds to be
issued. There were to be only $300,000,000
of the high-priced, short-timed bonds, while
$1,000,060,000 of four per cents, to run thirty
years, were suggested, lhe rates of interest,
5, 44, and 4 per cent., were retained. The
clause which authorized the payment of inte
rest on gold deposits in the Treasury was
restored in a modified form. A commission
for advertising and selling the bonds was
allowed, and the new banks to be organized
under the Currency bill lately passed were to
be required to deposit as security the low-
Ericed bonds. This last provision seems to
ave aroused the opposition of the whole
West and South, in which the new banks are
to be located, and the absolute failure of the
Funding bill in consequence of this antago
nism is threatened.
The bill has been returned to the committee
which introduced the bank clause, and will
doubtless be immediately reported again. At
least we sincerely hope so. The measure is
too important to be sacrificed. We believe
that either of the bills proposed by House
or Senate would, if adopted, at once enable
the Secretary to fund at least half the debt,
and one or the other ought to be adopted.
We do not believe that the bank clause, how
ever commendable in itself, is absolutely
necessary to the success of the funding
scheme, and it ought not to longer endanger
the passage of the bill. There is little hope
of reconciling the Western and Southern
members to its adoption, and for that reason
we hope it will be drooped bv the committee,
But if we have the bill in some shape, we can
trust the Secretary of the Treasury to do all
the rest that is possible.
TWADDLE BY TELEGRAPH.
From the N. Y. World.
We concede a large license to sentimental
intemperance and financial idiooy in the way
of "telegrams" while so grave a crisis is dis
turbing men's wits as now excites and demo
ralizes the European capitals. But the fol
lowing astonishing piece, of information,
which, as we are assured, acted like a dose of
soothincr svriiD on Tuesday upon the per
turbedsoulof Wall street, really transcends
all toleration:
Pabis. Julria. T A.M The feeling to-day is
much auleter. There is aDoarently more confidence
among all classes of people. The Bourse at mid
night was still excited, though rentes bad made a
decided advance the last sales being made at 69f,
25c."
Our readers will please to observe the hour
at which this despatch bears date. At
o'clock in Vie morning all classes of people
with the exception, perhaps, of milkmen and
housemaids are apt to be "quieter" in a
great city than either before they have gone
to bed or after they have got up.
One imagines the alert author of this intel
ligent item peering anxiously out of his garret
window in search of publio feeling. The voioe
of the tomcat has ceased from the roof. Here
and there a night-capped grisette peeps can
tiously and coquettish! y through her half
drawn curtains to take the sense of the clerk
of the weather as to her habiliments for the
dar. On the asphalt below a baker lifts his
basket, or an early grocer in his azure blouse
takes down his shutters. Sorely the Prussians
cannot mean fight, or all this sweet serenity
would be impossible!
It would be curious, too. to ascertain just
in what quarter of Faria our indefatigable
caterer of canards contrived to nod a "mid
night" Bourse. Was it where the dead Ctbsar
holds his midnight review on the Champs
Elysees r Or perchance beneath those gal
leries of Orleans once resonant with the
click of golden louis on the green tables of
i . . i i
Frasiati's ? Or has the rage of modern specu
lation reached that estimable! body of prow
lers by midnight, the chiffonmorsf Astriking
scene certainly it mnsl have been that mid-,
night Bourse and, as we can believe, rather
"excited." One hears the bulls in "rags"
contending madly with the bears ia "junk"
nnd "old iron,!' while the ghastly ravines of
the Carrieres d'Amerique echo their specula
tive shouts !
THE PRESIDENT AND THE MALCON-
. TENTS. 4 .
From tht Chicago Republican
The cool, quiet, and careful way in which
President Grant administers the Government
is in the last degree galling to Democrats and
soreheads. He has not deflected a hair's
breadth from the course originally promised.
He has not taken his highest officers and coun
sellors from mere politicians, but sought for
sterling honesty and tried ability, lie has
had no disposition to keep the people excited
over diplomatic quarrels, or through mixing
in the domestic affairs of other nations; hence
the quiet and peace the country enjoys. Our
internal policy has been based firmly upon
the advanced principles of advanced republi
canism, in its broadest sense. The laws have
been enforced; the revenues collected and
honestly applied; dishonest officials dismissed,
and taxation and debt steadily diminished.
In the eye of faction, all this amounts to
nothing. Because the National Executive
has not informed the public irhy he has made
some changes, or assigned a reason why he
prefers a Murphy to a Grinnell in the New
York Custom House, or some other persons
in some other places, he is loudly denounced
as being no statesman, but only a blunderer.
His action is regarded as entirely too cool and
tame for the mere adherents of faction. They
can no more comprehend this style of con
ducting publio affairs than the Rebel armies
his plan of a campaign. V hue his honesty
of purpose is not questioned, and his
patriotic devotion to the country
is admitted, the petty details of
Administration are selected for animadver
sion and magnified through the lens of a dis
ordered imagination. hat the people want
is an honest, firm purpose to do right; and
they care nothing about the complaints and
vaporings of individuals who may happen to
get their sensibilities hurt when they are
compelled to give way to equally good or
better men. . The solid good sense and ster
ling qualities of head and heart of the Presi
dent are growing more and more popular,
and becoming more and more appreciated by
the people. They know he does not make or
unmake tariffs, or control currency, or regu
late commerce. He administers the laws.
That is his mission, and no incumbent of his
office has ever done it more thoroughly or
with greater sincerity and singleness of pur
pose for the general good.
