TIIE FOREIGN WAR.
Alliances nod Combination).
His Impossible, at this time, to form any intclll
gent idea as to the alliances and combinations that
way be formed by either or the principals to the pre
sent war. Jt can hardly be supposed that Spain
whose action in regard to the crown was the liiime
dlate cause of the dilllculty will Rive any great
trouble to France, as a civil war will in all proba
bility now break out in that country between the
different factions the Bourbons, the Republicans
and tbe Regency. It Is reported of Austria
that she will maintain tier neutrality, unless a third
rower should interfere. It is Raid that Holland wil
be neutral. Jt is uDnounccd that both belligerents
will r( spect the neutrality of Belgium. It appears
that Bavaria will for the present maintain an atti
tude of reserve. It was announced some days ago
that Prince Napoleon had gone to Copenhagen, ami
it was surmised that his mission was to form a spe
cial alliance with Denmark in view of contingencies.
1". is unlikely that Sweden In the north, or Switzer
land In the south, will play any part In the war. Italy
will doubtless maintain an attitude of observation
and neutrality. It Is hardly worth whllo to form a
conjecture as to the conduct of Eogland and Russia
both of which powers will doubticss, however,
wait for the development of events. Some days ago
Mr. Gladstone said in Parliament that "France had
threatened to proceed to extremities; and should
r ie persist in executing her threats. Her Majesty's
(iovernment would exhaust every means to prevent
war upon a case bo little warranting It."
But at a still later date he said that "the British
Government, in common with the European Cabi
nets, sustained the position taken by the Duke de
Grarcont, which was that Spain was entitled to
choose any one for king except a German prince."
The cbanccs and probabilities of the case, how
ever, as thev seem at the present hour, mar be
charged In a single day, or by a single Incident. One
power or another maybe drawn into the conflict;
and irom the present dilllculty we may see a general
European war which will not be terminated till the
map of Europe" ib reconstructed In several Im
portant respects.
Tbe French unci German Generals.
It was telegraphed a few days since that Marshal
McMahon would be put In immediate command ot
the army operating upon the Rhine, and that Count
Palikito would command the troops operating
against Spain. Marshal McMahon distinguished
himself in the last two great wars of France that
against Russia and that against Austria in the
former of which he was the "hero of the Jtfala
kotr," and lu the latter the "hero of Magenta."
lie Is now 63 years old, and Is a Frenchman
by birth, but descended from an ancient Irish
family, lie was educated at tbe military school of
St. Cyr, and took part in the French war in Algeria.
For his achievements in the Austrian war he was
created Duke of Magenta, Marshal Bazalne is es
years old, won bis first laurels in Algeria, rendered
eminent services in the Crimean war, superseded
by General Forey as commander of the French army
in Mexico, and was created Marshal of France.
Count Palikao Is chiefly known for the part he bore
in the French war with China, in which he displayed
ability and ferocity.
Of the Prussian army the King Is Commander-in-Chief.
But the planning of the campaign will doubt
less be the work of the distinguished and valuable
Chief of Stan, General von Mokke, who has been
accorded the highest honor aa the planner of the
campaign of lbt6, in the wonderful war of Prussia
against Austria. The two Prussian princes, Frede
rick William and Frederick Charles, who commanded
in the ileld in the Prussian-Austrian war, will doubt
less also be in command in the present campaign ;
and General Manteuffel, who demonstrated his
genius in the war of 1&66, will again be in immediate
command of the army.
It will be seen that in both armies there are com
manders of great talent and experience. Among the
subordinate oltlcers there arc many who took part in
one or other of the campaigns of the last fifteen
years; and in the rank and file of both armies
there are to be found, in greater or lesser numbers,
troops who served in these wars, and who will
therefore, bring to the service those valuable mill
tary qualities which are only acquired by actual ex
pcrience before the enemy.
The Arms.
The troops of the French army are now supplied
with the Chassepot, whose value was tried, la a
small way, on the Romans three years ago. The
Prussian troops are furnished with the Zundnadel
gewebr, or needle-gun, whose terribly destructive
power was demonstrated upon the Austrlans in the
battle of Sadowa four years ago. Both of these
kinds of rifles is superb; but we shall be better
able to decide upon their relative merits at the close
of the first campaign.
Toe Immediate Scene of Operations,
It is as yet impossible to forecast the exact locality
waere the first collision will take place. There will
doubtless be in a short time a great struggle for the
pcaeBtlon of Luxemburg, the dismantling of which
was demanded by France as the price of peace four
years ago. The work of destruction has, however,
been but partial, and of this France has frequently
complained. For guarding the frontier and defend
ing thi Rhine, as well as for covering and support
ing aa Invasion of France, no better position can be
found than Luxemburg.
STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
Hew to ret up a 'Temluionlnl" A First-claa
Newtimper Notice.
There was an air of modest dignity about Mr.
Pnnsber as be last night handed in the following
"item," which at once commanded respect. His
manner was respectful yet firm, and conveyed
an impression of newly awakened self-importance,
as he drew himself up behind tbe editorial
chair, and remarked, "Gentlemen, I shall be
pleased to tee this In your issue of to-morrow."
What he handed in, and what we publish in
accordance with his request, is:
Last evening, Mr. T. Punsher, the gentlemanly
. and popular conductor of one of the Randolph
street cars, was made the recipient of a handsome
testimonial by nia numerous friends, in the shape of
an elegant sliver watch valued at $10. On the back
of the case appeared the followiug Inscription, beau
tifully engraved : "To T. Punsher, from his friends,
July, 1870." The presentation ceremony took place
In a saloon near the city limits, where a number
of the most prominent citizens of the West Side
were present, including several Aldermen and a
few Supervisors. The presentation speech was
made by Alderman Jones, who paid a slowing tri
bute to the many noble qualities of Mr. Punsher as
a gentleman, and the eminent tact and ability which
he displayed in the delicate and arduous duties he
had to perform. Mr. Punsher, lu a neat speech, re
sponded to the compliment, and in the most grace
ful iLanner invited the assembled guests to Join him
in a foaming bumper of beer. The party came to a
hai py teruiiuation by their acceptance of the gene
rous invitation of Mr. Punsher to take a free ride Into
the city.
This is eminently proper. It is the first suit
able recognition of a public oflicer whose ser
vices have hitherto been shamefully neglected.
1 he thought must have occurred to all of us
that here was an institution, the street car con
ductor, which has never been properly esti
mated. Why nas ne oeen permitted to lauguun

TIIE MISSOURI DUNKARDS.
A Few Fnrta About nn lCccentrlc Kellaioua Sect.
The Dunkarda at tbe settlement north of Knob
Noster, in this count, have had their annual
mcetiDg and religious exerclies. The Dunkarda
have no church buildings of their own. They
will preach, however, in the buildings of other
denominations, but their favorite places of wor
ship are the sheds and barns in the country.
The meeting just held was in the second story of
a large barn. The lower story was occupied by
the stock of the farmer, and in the third story
the laet year's crop of wheat and oats was stowed
away.
During the services some fifty or sixty boys
crawled Into the loft, and amused themselves by
shooting straws down upon the heads of the
more serious.
During these annual meetings they commenced
preaching at 5 o'clock In the morning and ceased
at 12 M.f generally having three or four speak
ers. There are no regular ministers among
them, but, like the Quakers, any one can speak
who feels so inclined. Upon receiving persons
into their Church, they immerse them lace fore
most by three plunges into the water.
Feet-washing Is one of their services the
men washing the feet of the men, and the
women washing the feet of the women.
Their feasts consist of the nicest bread and
lamb soup, of which they partake largely. After
the feast comes the sacrament, which consists of
bread and wine. The bread being handed first,
each one taking a small piece and holding It
until the wine is passed around, the ceremony
is performed very slowly, and consumes con
siderable time.
In all their manners and customs
they are plain and simple, and
their honesty and morality have almost
grown to be a proverb.
With politics the Dunkards have little to
do, but are universally radical as far as we can
learn.
There are several settlements of Dunkards in
this county, mostly from Ohio. Warrinsburg

A WONDERFUL FALL.
A I'lilld Fnlls Over n Precipice, a Dlntnnce of
Three Hundred Peel and Is Mot Killed.
Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, says the
Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday, a lad named
Martin Crossman, aged four years, and 6on of
Rev. James Crossman, pastor of the Evangelical
Association Chapel, fell over the precipice at the
head of Van Braam street, in the Sixth ward,
and lodged upon the track of the Connellsville
Kail road, three hundred feet below. The ex
press train on tbe road was just corn
ins: in ei"ht at the time, and the body was in
imminent danger of being crushed beneath the
train, when a workman happened to see the
danger, and seizing the apparently dead child
carried it from the track just in time to escape
tne new a anger, ao ciose was tne train upon
the man that it almost brushed his clothing as
he stood pressing his body against the rocky
hillside until it passed. He found that the boy,
although unconscious, was not dead, and
speedily carried him to his father's residence on
St. Patrick's alley. Physicians were called, and
it was found that no bones were broken, al
though there were severe internal injuries, and
numerous external cuts and bruises on the body.
There are hopes that the boy will recover. It
appears that the lad was playing on one of the
over-hanging rocks, with some other children,
and in attempting to pick up something below
which had attracted his attention, he lost his
balance and went headlong down the precipice.
Ilis fall was broken by the shelving rocks. His
escape, nevertheless, was most miraculous. In
view of the numerous accidents which occur
here, it is strange that the city authorities have
not erected a barricade along the bluff;
SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.
Virginia Educationalists and
the Woman
tjueBtion.
In tho Virginia Educational Convention in
Warrenton, on Thursday, Professor Venable, of
the University of Virginia, renewed his resolu
tion, submitted the previous day, to invite the
lady teachers of Virginia to become members of
the association, and to take their seats in the
convention. The resolution produced a sensa
tion and exciting debate. Professor Venable
supported bis motion with an animated speech
to allow lady teachers to derive the benefits of
the association, if for no other reason than to
secure them return tickets free over the rail
roads. It was but a poor boon to grant those
who were doing so much in the cause of educa
tion. (Applause.)
Rev. Dr. Smith, of Hampden and Sidney Col
lege, opposed anything that savored of woman's
rights in the most infinitesimal degree, and
thought Professor Venable's gallantry went
ahead of his judgment.
Professor Joynes, of Washington College,
offered a resolution that the terms upon which
ladies may be admitted Into membership be re
ferred to a committee of three.
Rev. Mr. Averitt opposed the resolution, as a
step in tbe wrong direction, looking rather to the
unsexing, not to the elevation of that portion
of society upon whose spotless purity rests the
welfare of mankind. Drag her not down from
her empyrean height of purity and modesty;
soil not the garments of Southern womanhood
by tbe dust and dirt of dingy surroundings;
rather allow her to be the faithful custodian of
the lares and penates.
Professor Joynes resolution was rejected, and
Professor Venable withdrew his resolution,
GENERALITIES.
l'OSTAL RETRENCHMENT.
It is stated by the Cleveland newspapers that
tbe expenses of the post ouice there have been
reduced to the extent of fj300, by discontinuing
the oilice of Deputy Postmaster, and asslgalng
the duties of that official to the Cashier. A
similar change throughout the country, it is
estimated, would save $1,000,000. But retrench
ment very rarely begins in the upper stratum of
a post cilice.
THE TALE "ROSTEB."
The new scheme of education in Yale College
principally consists in the addition of a thor
ough School of Science for those who would
pursue such branches distinctively and obtain a
smaller proportion of classical education. The
"Classical College" remains unchanged for
those who desire to commence with a classical
basis, except in the elevation of the department
of irodern languages and literature with the in
tent that the instruction conveyed in French
and German shall be of that higher plane of
linisb required in the classics.
TUB "FOURTH" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Nobody but the colored people had any Fourth
of July in Columbia, 8. C. The commandent of
the post, General Bumford, decided that the
celebration intended was of a partisan charac
ter, ana aecimeu ordering tne military band to
assist in the procession, which consisted of four
volunteer militia companies, all colored, and
the members of some political societies. At the
conclusion of their march a meeting of colored

TUB CTAIt SILVER MINES.
A correspondent describes Ploche City, Utah,
as containing about 1000 miners. The mines in
the vicinity, principally silver, are to some ex
tent under the management of San Francisco
capitalists. Water is so scarce that miners pay
for it 10 cents a gallon. As yet there Is no
revenue tax on this liquid. There is but one
spring in Ploche, and that dries up every sum
mer. The trade of the town is said to be largely
in the hands of Jews. Only one person h is
been 6hot so far; the disputants about "jumped"
claims, etc., being usually content to make de
monstrations with blank cartridges from rifle
guns. Mormon settlements in the vicinity sup
ply vegetables and meat. There seems, how
ever, to be no love lost between the "Gentiles"
and the Mormons, and the latter are described
as not more distinguishable by homespun gar
ments than by "leaden eyes, buttermilk mous
tache, and faded sorrel hair.
HOW THE NATCHEZ LOST.
It now turns out that if the Natchez had been
properly stripped for the race, and had taken on
a full supply of wood and pine knots and rosin
and turpentine and hud started from New
Orleans two hours and a half sooner than she
did and had lost no time in taking aboard a
double-jointed steam saw-mill at Vlcksburg nor
in landing aOtilliken's Bend to afford the pilot
and engineer an opportunity to stroll up town
and inoulreTIie price of putty and hadn't been
compelled tOBtop and have the teeth of the
mud clerk plttgged at Memphis and to lie over
and let the chambermaid spend a couple of hours
or so with ber great-grendmother at Columbus
and had got ahead at Criro and kept ahead all
the rest of the way through with plenty of
water in the river and no sign of fog to bo seen
anywhere, she would have beaten the R. E. Lee
to St. Louis so far that it would have been almost
equal to no race at all. That's what her friends
say, anyhow.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
TIIE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Decision of the Injunction Case The Removal
of l.owrv Declared Illegal, and Ntotzer En
joined from Acting an (.rand Chancellor.
Court of Common Plea Judge AUUoiu
The Knights of Pythias imbroglio which has
been so long pending was brought to a termi
nation by a decision rendered by Judge Allisou
this morning. The case came up on Monday
last, on the application to dissolve the Injunc
tion previously granted to prevent John Stotzer
from acting as Grand Chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias of the State of Pennsylvania. On
behalf of Philip Lowry, Jr., it was contended
that his removal from his office by the Grand
Chancellor of the Supreme Council of the
World was unconstitutional, inasmuch as
he was entitled to have a charge pre
ferred against him, and a trial and suspen
sion by two-thirds of the members of the
Grand lodge; that in view of this the
substitution of Mr. Stotzer as Grand Chancel
ler was null and void, and therefore the injunc
tion restraining him from acting should be con
tinued. In answer to this, It was contended
Mr. Lowry had refused to obey an edict Issued
by the Supreme Council, and had issued a pro
clamation to tne oraer in aisoDeaience ot this
command; that he voluntarily resigned his office
as Grand Chancellor, and thus enabled Mr.
Stotzer, as Vice-Chancelloi, to occupy the place,
ana mat ne naa no rigaj in tne court to asK to
be reinstated. As the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl
vadia meets on the 20th Instant, a decision of
the case was looked forward to with great in
terest by the members of the order, since on the
result of the litigation depended the control of
the Grand Lodge by determining who should
designate the representatives of the subordinate
lodges in it.
Judge Allison, in his decision, went at great
length into a critical examination of the consti
tution of the order, announcing as the result of
this examination a failure to discover any pro
vision for tho trial or suspension of a grand or
subordinate lodge officer. He then recurred to
the question previously propounded, "How shall
the Supreme Chancellor see that the constitu
tional enactments, rules and edicts of his lodge
nre duly and preperly observed?" In answer to
this, the court proceeds to say:
This question Is answered In the sixth bv-law
ot the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, which provides
that any grand officer may be removed from his
office for conduct unbecoming his standing la the
order, or for Inattention to the duties of his station.
It, however, contains a provision which the Supreme
Chancellor has wholly disregarded, namely, that an
officer who Is nnder charges shall officiate until they
are settled, unless otherwise ordered by the Grand
Lodge. This by-law alio contains the material pro
vision "lie shall have a fair trial of the charges
brought agaldst him."
This by-law Is a part of the constitution of the
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. It was examined
and approved by the Supreme Lodge, and it may
fairly be argued that, with this regulation before
them, the necessity for taking to themselves other
than appellate jurisdiction was not recognized by
the Supreme Lodge when they adopted their con
stitution. This trial, and indeed every trial, may be
reviewed on appeal, and in this way the constitu
tional edicts and orders of the supreme authority
can be enforced by their Chancellor.
In this case he could have preferred charges of
insubordination against Lowry before the Grand
Lodge of this State, and before that tribunal the
accused would be required to appearand answer;
but he could not be put out of office and another
person Installed therein nntll his case had been de
cided by the Grand Lodge, unless they bad ordered
otherwise.
This view of the law which governs the order,
does wrong to no one. It agrees with tbe recognized
principle that to tbe accused shall be accorded not
only a fair trial, but that he shall be presumed to be
innocent until he has been proved to be guilty,
unless the specialties of his case require, In the judg
ment of the Grand Lodge, that it should be made an
exception to the general rule. This la in every way
to be preferred to a prejudgment beiore trial and a
degradation ia office before prof. It Is the rule
which prevails in constitutional governments, as
contrasted with the law of the Autocrat or the Turk,
and by enforcing It in the case before us we bring
into play the fundamental law of the order, protect
the guaranteed rights of Its membership, and at the
same time do no violence to tbe principle that the
government of the order must be maintained only
through the constitutional modes of enforciug obe
dience to proper and lawful commands. By this I
do not mean to affirm that the order of the Supreme
Lodge, which has given rise to this trouble, is a
lawful enactment or edict; that question Is not pre
sented by the bill of the complainants.
Upon the question of jurisdiction. It Is sufficient to
remark that by the 13(ji section of the act of June
16, 1S36, the supervision and control of unincorpo
rated societies and associations is given to the
Courts of Common Pleas.
That which remains touches the denial by defen
dant of plaintiffs' clultn to equitable relief.
If the matters connected with this controversy In
volved no other right than that of the personal right
of Philip Lowry, we should feel ourselves required to
refuse the prayer of the bill. The affidavits pre
sented by the defendants fully establish their allega
tion, that be not only consented to, but advised,
the Supreme Chancellor to Issue his order of sus
pension, and to invest the defendant John Utotzer
with the authority and power of Urand Chancellor
ef the State of Pennsylvania.
That he advised submission to this order, admitted
the right of the Supreme Chancellor to make It, and
was a party consenting to and aiding In the consum
mation of that of which he now complains, ia abun
dantly proved. Upon his own account he is not en
titled to claim the aid of a court of equity to rein
state him in an office from which he agreed he
should be suspended, but from which he did not
formally resign, advising the former action for rea
son BtaU;d in the affidavits.
But this bill la med by other plaintiffs, who are
joined with him and who are members of tbe order,
as well as ameers, and who will be injuriously af
fected in their rights of office b) the decree of sus
pension of the Supreme Chancellor; and back of
these again are thousands of members, whose pecu
niary and personal interests are dependent, to a
f reat degree, upon the question of the lawfulness of
lie order of the tsupieme Chancellor and the action
of the VIce-Graud Chancellor Stotzer, all of which
we regard as illegal, and therefore to be restrained,
becanse they are contrary to law and prejudicial to
the rights of Individuals.
Looking to the general Interest Involved, and to
the parties who are connected with Lbwry, through
whom this wrong only can be righted, we grant the
prayer of tte bill against the parties who are before
Court, as represented by counsel, ,or who have ap
peared to take defense by affidavit. The bill agaiust
Lowry et al. Is dismissed.
The Citizens and the Park Gaunt.
Court tf Quarter Stations Altitun P.J.
This morning Mr. Theodore Walton was arraigned
npon the charge of assault and battery upon Mr.
Fitzgerald, a member of the Park Guard, and en
tered a plea of guilty.
Mr. Fitzgnrald being put under oath testified as fol
lows: On the lSHn of last month Mr. Walton was driving
past my post at the rate of abont twelve miles an hoar, Uie
regulation prohibiting more than seven miles, and I at
tempted to arrest him, but be drove on past and went
out; I obtained a warrant for him and on tlto following
day as he was passing out I hiled him and asked him to
sla k up, telling him I bad a warrtnt for bis arrest: he
told me to , and drove on: I ran acros. the grounds to
head him off, and seized tbe horse's bridle, but Mr.
Walton ont me oa the face with bis whip and went ooU
Cross-examined-1 have arrested seven or eight persons
fcr fast driving ; I did not see a hack containing tares or
four gentlemen driving besides Mr. Walton.
On tbe part of the defense the following evidence was
given :
David Lane sworn I was driving with Mr. Walton when
this occurred ; driving besideros was a baroucne containing
James Russel Young, ot New York, and several gentlemen
of the Boston press; when we reached Fitzgerald's post
be ran ont and called to Mr. Walton to stop; tbe horse
we were driving was a thorough bred, had not been ont of
tbe stable for several days, and was sniioas to trot, and it
was bard work to restrain hira: Fitzgerald seiztd the
reins, and Mr. Walton asked bim what he
wauted, and be repliod, "I want you;" Mr
Walton said he would go anywhere be wis desired, but
Fit zgerald must take his hands off the borse, but the lat
ter beld on, and tbe animal becoming excited plongtd
and reared, until it became absolutely necessary to give
the man a cnt in order to relieve tbe borse and save him
self from a dangerous accident.
It was offered by tbe defense to show by a number of
prominent gentlemen tbat this rough, treatment tooiti
zens by memhers of tee Park Guard was boooming fre
quent and intolerable, but tbe Court ruled it out as not
being legal evidrnce.
Fitzgerald beiLg recalled, denied that he struck the
hone.
Mr. Walton I did not know he had a warrant, else I
would have stopped.
Captain Uhastaa, of the Guard, being sworn, said : As
something has been said impugning the eonrse of the
Ouard, I deem it my duty to state that I have a note from
Mr. Phillips, telling me that be had given Mr. Walton no
advice about this matter, but that if bad desired to
advise about it be would advise me. There have been
Sany complaints about this fast driving In the park
nits, and since this affair of Mr. Walton's it has in
creased. Mr. Walton was permitted to make a statement and
said : On the day alter Fitzg.rald attempted to arrest
me for fast driving I went to see Mr. Henry M. Phillips,
one of the Park Commissioners, and asked bim to go out
witb me, and he said be weuld do so, and would make it
affright. Hedidnotgo, however, and so I went alone.
As I was returning, the officer ran out and hit my horse
with a stick as large as my two thumbs, and then I struck
bim witb my whip.
In parsing upon this case tbe Judge said : It is desi
rable that the police of tbe park should exercise tbeir
authority witb much discretion, so as to give as little an
noyance as possible to citizens; and at tbe same time tbe
citisens nsing the park for pleasure must conform to its
regulations, and if arrested for a breach of them,
they must not take the law into their own
hands, but must for the time submit, and if they have
been improper'y arrested tbey have their remedies in tbe
courts. I do not. however, think this a oase calling, for
imprisonment, and will therefore only impose a tine of
hfty dollars and tbe costs.
