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 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.
