Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WAR. From the N. T. Timet. The die is cant. The Emperor Napoleon has once m ore stirred the Mood of France by appealin g to the lank Arbitrament of battle. Vve believe that this will be one of the most popular wars in which France has ever en gaged. The same state of feeling exists in Prus sia and North Germany. It is a contest the issue of which no impartial observer can pre tend to foresee. Sympathies on one Hide or the other may lead people to predict . success for France or Prussia; but in reality all that is certain is that the struggle mutt be one of the most desperate ever wit nessed on the battle-grounds of the Old World. ThoHe who suppose that France will easily succumb little understand the character of her people or the resources of the empire. On the other hand, there are more powers than one in Europe anxious to see Prussia humiliated. The smaller powers which she absorbed soon after the Austrian campaign may not, perhaps, be able to do her much harm; but Austria wonld be only too eager to embrace any opportunity of avenging Sado wa. When onoe the torch ot war is lit in Europe, no man can tell how vast may be the devas tation which it spreads. Kint. tlia Tfolinn nrar rf IftVI if Loa liaan the boast-of French statesmen and publicists that the Second Empire had introduced a new idea into European politics that of nation ality and that the Emperor had shown, by refraining on that occasion from territorial aggrandizement, that he was capable of going to war for an idea. The fatal expedition to Mexico was justified on the ground of 'the solidarity of the Latin race, whether settled in the Old World or the New. It is tolerably certain that the declaration of war just promulgated will be justified in France as a step necessary to free a Scandinavian popu lace from a German yoke, and to restrain Prussian ambition from its designs on the Peninsula. In short, the unfulfilled articlo of the treaty of Prague, which relates to Denmark, and the late Ilohenzollern candi dature for the throne of Spain, will be the grounds on which the war will be eventually defended. Rightly or wrongly, however, the rest of the world will see in the present out break of hostilities an effort on the part of France to rectify her frontier, and to possess once more the left bank of the Rhine. For this represents a national desire older than the enthusiasm for freeing subject races, older than the concern for the balance of power, older even than the revolutionary pro paganda which ended by changing the face of Europe. Startling as it may appear, the historical fact of a Rhine frontier is 1400 years old. It came in with the Franks when they overran the Roman province of Gaul in the fifth century; it was established by Clovis, the first of Frankish kings; it was restored and then overleaped by Charlemagne, the "Emperor of the West," three centuries later; 1 1 T. 1 1 1 " . I 1 - tut) great jruiup Augustus macie, in me beginning of the thirteenth century, a forty years' reign glorious by ruling over a territory that extended from the Rhine to the Pyrenees. Louis, the saint, retained the Rhine boundary, and added Provence and Languedoc, while Louis Quatorze, "the great monarch" par excellence, convulsed Europe, at the end of the seven teenth century, by his efforts to regain the provinces on the left bank of the Rhine, whick had been wrested from his predeces sors. Napoleon I only fulfilled a national aspiration when he made Flanders, Luxem bourg, and other territories between the Rhine and the sea an integral portion of the First Empire, and Napoleon III is perfectly aware that he would cover his name with im perishable glory by making the Rhine, the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the ocean the boun daries of modern France. It needs but a superficial glance at the map to perceive that there is a species of territo rial fitness in this much-coveted Rhine fron tier. Beginning at the Mediterranean, France is separated from Italy by the Var and the Alps; from Switzerland by the Rhone and the mountains of Jura; and, finally, from the Grand duchy of Baden by the Rhine. Just at the angle which the Lauter forms by falling into the Rhine, the natural boundary ceases, and an imaginary line commences, which runs to the North Sea. Taking this line as the base of a triangle, and the further course of the Rhine and the sea-coast as the twosides, we have a territory one-half of which is occu pied by the kingdom of Belgium, and the other by Rhenish Bavaria, Rhenish Hesse, Rhenish Prussia, and a small slice of Holland, comprehending a superficial area which may be roughly stated at 24,000 square miles, oc cupied by a population which probably num bers nine millions. In language, not over three millions of these speak French, the re mainder using either Flemish, Dutch, or Ger "man, with an occasional admixture of patois, compounded out of aome two of these four languages. So far as national sympathies go, the German populations and the Flemish sections of Belgium have an intense aversion to France, while the avowed partisans of an extension of the empire only exist in some ol tne large cities of Belgium, and even there have but little power or influence. Any obvious determination on the part of France to make a comprehensive annexation of the left bank of the Rhine would probably be a signal for a contest from which scarcely any of the great powers of Europe could stand aloof. The independence of Belgium is guaranteed by Russia, Prussia, Austria, and England, as well as by France. On the partition of Europe in 1815 it was given to the King of Holland, and after the successful revolution in 1830, the same powers that had consented to the treaty of Vienna concluded a fresh agreement in London, which made the maintenance of the newly created kingdom, shortly after accepted by Leopold of Saxe Coburg, a question which each and all of them would be obliged to support by force of arms. The Prussian possessions on the left bank of the Rhine may probably become the immediate theatre of war, and the develop ment of French policy will, no doubt, be mainly guided by the success or failure of the early operations there. It will be seen that England used great efforts to prevent the final rupture, but of course in vain. The reasons assigned by the Emperor for declaring war are the insult offered to Count Benedetti, which certainly seemed to show that Prussia was not particu larly anxious to maintain peace; and the atti tude of Prussia in relation to Prince Leopold and the Spanish crown. The Spanish revo lution has thus, after more than two years of mismanagement, resulted in a war between two of the greatest powers in the world. "Let as cross the Rhine," says Napoleon, "and avenge the insults of Prussia." It is quite clear that at this moment all France echoes back the Emperor's words. AMERICAN INTERESTS AND TnE EURO- - PEAN WAR. Frm f he A. 1". World. One of the most humiliating illustrations which has yet been given of the incapacity and lack Of forecast of the American Govern ment in its present hands was furnished by the disregarded message of Presi dent Grant on the war which has bo suddenly broken out in Europe. General Grant is quite right in supposing that we are in no stato of E reparation for the great emergency which as arisen in the affairs of nations. It is to be regretted that in a conjuncture so momen tous we have a President who does not com mand the respect of his own party in Con gress. The slighting estimate in which all General Grant's opinions and recommenda tions on public affairs are held is a fatal im pediment to his usefulness, and to the weight of the Government in its international in tercourse. His views are so habitually con temned and repudiated, that if a crisis should arise requiring prompt executive action, either in the assertion of our rights or the protection of our interests, the uncertainty of foreign powers whether the executive would be supported by the people would cast en air of intirtxity over our Government at a time when it ought to maintain an attitude of imposing-strength. Congress was not perhaps very far wrong in tho contemptuous treatment it bestowed on General Grant's message. It was doubt less absurd to expect Congress to mend the errors and omissions of a whole session, and of a long series of years, by hasty impromptu legislation at this late day. If Congress had complied with the President's wish and pro longed its session, it would have got into an inevitable wrangle, and adjourned a few diys or weeks later without reaching any conclu sion. It is impossible to extemporize a commercial marine and an adequate navy. The decay of onr shipping and the useless ness of our public vessels is the consequence of years of neglect and mismanagement; and years will be necessary for regaining out lost strength and prestige on the ocean. These subjects have engaged much attention during the session, but the discussions have Rerved no other purpose than to disclose the incompetency of Congress to devise any remedy. It would be idle to take them up again and make a new display of the same hopelessly dissentient ignorance. If this Congress acted on them under the stress of a sudden emergency, its action would be hasty, rash, and crude, and be likely to cause more mischief than it would prevent. Nothing is therefore lost by the contemptuous disregard which Congress has shown for the President's wishes. But General Grant is clearly correct in his feeling that the country is in no state of preparation for the exigencies incident to a great European war. We, of course, do not expect to be drawn into the struggle. Our policy is strict, impartial neutrality; and in this view the crazy inefficiency of our navy is of little immediate consequence. But we are in no condition to reap the advantages of neutrality. If we held the same imritiuia rank which we did in 1800, the abwndanoe of our shipping would render a European war between two maritime nations a great harvest for American commerce. The merchant ves sels of France and Prussia are exposed to capture and confiscation by the ships-of-war of their enemy. The war, by crippling their commerce and raising rates of insurance, will throw a great amount of business into the hands of such neutral nations as possess the means of transportation. In former wars, we have enjoyed the full advantages of our neu tral position, and have been among the chief carriers of the commerce of the world. In the great Napoleonic wars in the early part of this century, we laid the foundations of our subsequent maritime greatness by the profitable employment given to American merchant vessels by the interruption of Eu ropean commerce. In the present war, Great Britain will monopolize the ad vantages which we should share with her if our Government had not blindly mined our shipping and reduced us to abject dependence on foreign vessels even for our own trade. Without ships for the transpor tation of our own merchandise, we are of course in no condition to profit by our neu trality, and grow rich as enterprising car riers for!other nations. While we have been occurred in ODDresainer and humiliating the South and keeping alive the exasperating controversies wmcn ougnt to nave closed with the civil war, our maritime importance has dwindled under the blighting effects of bad legislation, until our improvident Government is suddenly awakened to a sense of national loss and insignificance by the shock of a great European war. Our navy is in a state of dilapidation al most as humiliating as the destruction of our mercantile marine. It has recently been con fessed in Congress, by committees who have investigated the subject, that the money lavished on our navy for the last seven or eight years has been misapplied and wasted, and that we have very few ships of war fit for ocean service. When other nations are at war, we cannot afford to be weak. Our security against trespasses and insults de pends upon our ability to inflict prompt chastisement. The proper attitude of our Government is one of vigilance and conscious Btrengtn. Instead of this, we are in a posi tion of conscious and (since the President's message) proclaimed weakness. The interruption of industry on the Conti nent, the waste of war, and the bad harvests which have happened to fall this year, will create a demand for our productions; and we have a strong interest in keeping open tho channels of commerce and preventing any infringement ot tne riguts ot neutrals. We cannot afford to hold these rights at the mere mercy of other powers; but our naval weak- . i - ; . 1 i -i , ness in cms conjuncture Huojeoid us to -mat mortifying necessity. These are among the heavy penalties we pay for intrusting our (iovernment to dema cogues and fanatics instead of statesmen capable of appreciating the exigencies of na tional life, and possessing the foresight and wisdom to provide for tnem. INFALLIBILITY WHAT IT DOES AND DOES NOT MEAN. From the N. T. Tribune. The adoption of the dogma of infallibility does not impose a new faith upon Roman Catholics. With the theological aspects of the case we have nothing to do; and the vary ing opinions of Roman Catholio theologians we do not now consider; but we state as an undeniable fact that the Roman Catholio laity firmly believe in the infallibility of the Pope; that they believed in it before the council voted, and even before the council was called; that in fact this body has only now enacted into a dogma what has long been the simple, unquestioning faith of Roman Catholics in general throughout both Europe and Amerioa. Many may have doubted the wisdom of proclaiming the faith; but practically ail nave ueia it. Neither does the adoption of this dogma threaten any schism in a Church which, by reabon of its age, its vast extent, and its powerful bold upon the minds of so lare a proportion of the civilized world, must long remain an object of profound interest alike to friends and foes, to statesmen as well as to theologians. Tho Armenians and others who, like tnem, nave hung loosely on tne skirts of Roman Catholicism may secede; but neither in Europe nor America will there be any serious, open disturbance of the har mony of the faith. We have not been allowod to print the debates, aiad only vague details of the actual proceedings in the council have reached the public ee: but whatever dis- Iiutes there may have been amoug the theo ogians, there are likely to be none before lb people. hat the proclamation of this docma does is to sharpen the antagonism between Roman Catholics and the outside world, aud to darf the powers Rud influence of their own hie rarchy outside of Rome. It is a movement of separation and of centralization; it builds a Chinese wall between the world of modern progressive thought aud the Romau Catholic Church, aud it gathers the powers of that uuurcn more and more witbin the limits of the city of Rome. Jietwt-en Roman Catholics and the rest of the world there is henceforth an outward and visible sign of a separation that is immutable Roman Catholics rio believe the Pope infalli ble. No other human beiag cau possibly believe it; its influence upon systems of faith, luodes of thought, developments of ideas, tendencies of progress, must be ineradicable, and the formal adoption of the dogma sbHrpens and intensifies it. 1 he real secret of the long struggle in tho council (aside from this view of the influence of the dogma upon the relations of the Church to the world) was undoubtedly the hostility of the outside hierarchy to what may be called the Church politics of the movement. In proportion an it centralizes power in Rome, it withdraws it from the other bishoprics. It exults the successor of St. Peter, but dwarfs the bishops of remote regions; tends to gather patronage in Rome at the cost of Dublin and St. Louis; and more aud more gives over the control of the affairs of the Church to tho mansgeimnt of the Italian bishops and the bishops in iartibvx by whom the majority in the council in its favor has been made up. And it may safely bo accepted as an end of (Ecumenical Councils. There is. no further need of Mich convocations to declare the faith of the Church, when the Church has formally proclaimed its belief that such a de claration by tLe Pope alone would be infalli bly correct. RATIONAL INTOLERANCE. From' the Pall Stall Gazette. We h&e frequently pointed out, nud in sisted upon the tact, that some of the princi ples which are usually regarded as the most brilliant discoveries of modern times are in reality suitable only for very peculiar circum stances, and are therefore likely to become superannuated, and to cease to have any ef fect at all, after the lapso of a comparatively short time. Tbe most glaring instance of this is to be found in the doctrines of which the toleration or rather tho recognition of the civil equality of all religions may be regarded as the centre, and the growing popularity and probable ultimate establishment of the volun tary system in most parts of the civilized world as the most striking practical develop ment. Most people now regard these doctrines as established beyond the reach cf controversy. They are among the very tirst articles of the political and social creed of the great bulk of educated men; yet they are far from being absolutely true they are a compromise which is destined sooner or later to bo broken up, aud we can not dc ubt that the time will couie when they will be as much exploded as their opposites are at present supposed to be. We have more than once given our reasons for this opinion. Those reasons are that toleration and the voluntary system can be justified upon one supposition only namely, that ra tional certainty upon religious questions is unattainable, that we must be content with probabilities, that probabilities differ in force according to the constitution of the mind which contemplates them, that society can be constituted independently of religion, aud that there is practically no limit to the extent to which religious theory, and that amount of practice which is in volved in its sinceu adoption, can be permitted. The practical inference from this view is tbe state of things as to all the moral and religious functions of society which we see around us. More and more the State in nearly every part of the world ceases to make any claim on what we may call the spiritual allegiance of its members. More and more decisively does it restrict itself, or appear to try to restrict itself, to what are substan tially police functions, aud to abandon the whole spiritual side of things, religion in all its forms, education in most of its forms, charitable efforts in nearly all their forms, to voluntary associations, btauding to the State in all sorts of relations some of them in a relation of independence, allied or defiant, as the case may be, and others in an attitude of dependence for some purposes and independence for others, like that of a joint-stock bank or a railway com pany, which promote the private objects of their shareholders subject to rules and con tracts which are sanctioned and if necessary enforced by the law of the land. As this state of things has lasted for what in relation to the length of individual life must be called for a long time say, as regards this country, that it has lasted for tbe best part of a century, and has been gradually coming to maturity for nearly two centuries it is not perhaps un natural that people should regard it as a per manent condition of human society. We think, however, closer observation will show that this is not the case; that the doctrine is false in itself and unsuited to human nature, and that though a great length of time will probably elapse before it is seriously in fringed to any extent, signs are plentiful in all directions of the fact that it is in reality lame and impotent, and that the unqualified admission of its truth would in the course of time break up human society and transfer the allegiance of mankind from States to Churches and other bodies armed not with the legl but with the religious and popular sauctions. Any one who will glance over the subjects on which any great State is called upon to legislate, and . which are part of the undis puted province of jurisprudence, will readily Eerceive that legislation without -a moral asis is simply impossible. The three great beads of legislation, in whatev.r shape, are the Iw of Crimes, the Law of Personal Re lations, and the Law of Government. Every' one of these branches of law rests upon morals; and though it is undoubtedly true that law exercises an all but irresistible influ ence over the growth and development of moral ideas, it is no less true that the laws which a given body of legislators make will always depend upon the standard of morals which they 'acknowledge as being of autho rity, and on the religious beliefs whioh they are accustomed to accept as being true. The whole law of crime, everything, for instance. which relates to liability to punishment, to I i . i - - the object and- nature of punishment to the conceptions of rights of property and person which pervade every definition of crime, has a direct reference to morals or religion, or both. RUSSIA IN THE OPENING CONTEST WHAT TART WILL SHE PLAY? From the A. F. Herald. Has RnsRia forgotten Sevastopol ? Thereby hangs a tale. The Czar Nicholas was harried to the grave by the check he and the policy handed down to him by Peter the Gveal met in the Crimea. Has not this reflection been the canker-worm gnawing at the heart of the Czar Alexander, An empire headed by the magical name of Nc pole on has arisen in tne West to rival if not to overshadow tho gran deur of that magnificent empiro which "the Prince of Rosch, Moschk, and Tobolsk" even in biblical prophecy was predestined to build up in tho East. What power stood in tho Why, then, of Russian advance to that city of Constantinople which even the First Nrpo leon admitted to be the key of the East ? Austria, is the historian's and tue statesman's answer. Austria was crippled. By whom? First, by France under the present Napoleon, at Magenta and Solferino, and then by Prus sia, at Sndowa, compelling her to relinquish Venice To-day she is shattered by dissen sions in Hungary, in Croatia, in Slavonia. Has Russia anything to do with this? Oh! not at all. Ihe Pauslavonio feeling, how ever, is at work, and that contemplates the building up of an empire in the east of Europe, partly at Austria's eiptnuo, which will not be hostile to Russia or an impediment in her way. The recent Austrian elections, tf ke tbeuu as you will, prove this. Has Austria anything to fear from Prussia? Why, the is allied with her iu blood; aud Prussia faces and marches southward aud westward, while Russia face3 and moves southeastward. They act in parallel, not in re ctangular lines. hut adversary, then, still stands, as in the Crimea it stood, antagonistic to the Rus sian advance upon the Golden. Horn and the Holy Sepulchre ? Frrnce ! France at Suez, France in Syria, Fiance on the Rod Sea! Let Prussia bo defeated and the French enter Beilin. France armies will then menace the Russian frontier, and French fleets ride in the Great and Little Belts and on the Bdllio Sea. Russian finance is not flouiislr'ng, but the Russian navy is strong and well organized, Russia's fortresses aro splendidly equipped and nitt-ed, and her army, evon in Liuropo. is gigantic, while her people and soldiery are alike fanatical. The recent emancipation of the serfs has also greatly inspired them. Her successes in tbe East, her recent victories in Turkistan, and her warm alliance with the Shah of Tersia have revivified the old ideas of Peter. The period for the settlement ef the prediction "Europe in fafty years repub lican or Cossack" may not yet have eome. but the question of supremacy in the Black bea, at the Dardanelles, and at Jerusalem, 19 xiLht upon us. The position of Russia, therefore, in caso of threatening irench success, laying all sjn'pathies aside, must, perforce, bo with ihe pow er that stands between her and danger on tne West, and teat strengthens and helps her against her sole great rival in administer ing upon the affairs of the Sultan and in establishing an independent and friendly ally in Egypt, on the East. Meanwhile, Russia will act upon her own line of orbit, "by her inevitable momentum, as Nesselrode once termed it, and she will lose no tinio. PLACE AUX DAMES. From the Cleveland Leader. Miss Gail Hamilton, just hemo from a winter in Washington, fires off a column or more in Harpers liazar on the subject of women's rights. It is the much mooted ques tion of seats for lame 1.1 cars and ferry boats that she is talking about this time, aud this is a sample of what she says of it: "Do you complain that women do not thank you for your relinquished seats ? You have no claim upon their thanks. You havo no right to the seats. Not a man in any public conveyance has a right to a seat so long as a woman stands. Chivalry ? Not a bit of it. Naked justice. You arrogate to yourselves the management of all modes of travel. You permit women no voice therein. You charter all the companies." We shall do Miss Gail the credit to assume that she knows better than this, and only scolds, as the sisterhood is so apt to do, for effect. No gentleman will question that it is a manly, chivalrous principle that moves men to give place to ladies on all oc casions, but the idea that because women do tot run locomotive." or lay railway tracks is any good reason why the female passenger should order a man out of his seat by a frown and then flounce into it without thanking him will hardly bear analysis. Let our thankless heroine take a converse cae. Ladies as a rule control and ninnage household affairs, provide for the immediate arraagemeut of the table, etc. Supposing men should insist that ladies should vacate their seat at the table and yield all the comfortable arm-chairs in the drawing-room for the young mau to settle hiniself into without a word of acknowledgment. On the whola, things are much better as they . are. Men wonld be less happy if deprived of the privilege of occasionally making a little sacrifice for th comfort of a charming womau, and ladies, we are sure, enjoy an occasional chance to be thankful for unch FmaH favors. More than (his, Gail Hamilton knows that neither she nor the whole race of women could so adapt 'he capacity of cars tiid carriages to tho ever varying demands of travel, that there .should Lot sometimes be more passengers than scats. If shn could do so tshe woull not, for tho privilege of being the recipient of an occasional act of courtesy on tho part of tb men in general is one which the female heart prizes very dearly, notwithstanding the modern beauty so often forgets her thanks in return. Of course, it is all very well for Miss Dodge to put on an abuBod air because she docs not drive a street car, or run an omnibus line, but she knows she could do neither if she wanted to, and, moreover, that, in this country at least, every lady is secure of a seat until one of her own sex get b into it. Notwithstanding all she has Baid to deserve a little snubbing, we defy her to stand up five minutes in any car west of Now York without being ottered as many teats as there happen to be gentlemen seated in the ear at tho time. How it might be in the neighborhood of Boston, it might be less easy to say. WINDOW FASTENER. THE UNRIVALLED NEVER-FAILING. 6 ELF-LOO KINO WINDOW A8r.
