THE EMPF.P.OIVS BLUNDEUS.
Prom the A". '. Tribune. .'
.. No tnler with a reputation for astuteness
has ever done no little to deserve it as the
Emptror Napoleon. Id the course of his
Career he has achieved one brilliant nuocoss
the overthrow of the rrpublio nnd the esta
blishment of the empire on a basis of murder.
He has played one clever trick that of the
' plebiacituni; but as this was only the intro
duction to the scheme of war, we must wait
for the final result before we pronounoe it a
sneezes or a failure. In the other great events
of his reign he has made mistakes so serious
that it is a wonder how he has escaped de
struction. His first movement after seizing
the throne was divert his subjects by a war
with Russia. And what was the result of that
war? It proved the gallantry of the French
army, which needed no proof; it involved
France in frightful loss of men and money; it
left Russia practically as formidable as ever.
Sevastopol was captured, but at a cost
a thousand times greater than it was worth.
Russia was temporarily crippled in her navy,
end lost a little strip of territory; but she
.was not humiliated, and at the end of the
war Europe felt that the Czar was stronger
than any one of the powers allied against
him. The Italian war was undertaken for the
purpose of humiliating Austria, and at the
same time fixing French ascendancy in Italy,
it resulted in the creation, of a powerful
Italian kingdom, which is a perpetual menace
to France, for Victor Emanuel, far from being a
creature of the Tuileries, is more than half
inclined to be an open enemy. Napoleon has
earned the lasting hatred of Italians by sup
porting the Fope in Rome, and the displea
sure of the Fope and the clergy by consenting
to the obliteration of the States of the Church.
He made Italy formidable, and now finds
that he has not a friend in the whole penin
sula. But this is not the worst. Having weak
ened Austria, he gave Prussia the coveted op
portunity to strike a blow, and to his dismay
eaw the faoe of Germany suddenly changed,
and a tremendous and threatening power
rising at his very door. He had not been
astute enough to Bee that his most dangerous
rival was not Vienna, but Berlin; he had not
comprehended the character of the Prussian
(statesmen, or divined the strength of the
Prussian arms, or seen that while Austria was
made up of hostile and incongruous ele
ments, the rival German State must inevi
tably rise to power by the aggregation of
kindred populations. The pet scheme of
France was to get possession of the Prussian
provinoes on the left bank of the Rhine;
yet, in his blindness, Napoleon smoothed the
way for Prussia to make herself the groatest
power in Europe. The war of 1806 showed
him his blunder, but he saw at the same time
that Prussia was too strong then to be at-
' Meanwhile he had turned his attention to
wards America. He threw away the friendship
of the United States by marked favors to the
Southern Confederacy, and when our hands
W6re full, he occupied Mexico, and with much
t-ViatjM-lA ftVtrhtit. fllA nnif.v t trA T.afin vaia
established an empire as illegitimate as his
own. . This was the greatest of all his blunders.
Turned out of the country by order of Mr.
Secretary Seward, he saw his Latin empire
tumble to pieces, and the unfortunate prince
whom he had placed on the throne shot like
a traitor. The Mexican adventure was not
only a disaster but a disgrace. Hardly

, him in Europe. Having failed to make
Austria the instrument of defeating Bismarck,
he proposed at Berlin a secret treaty even
more infamous than the coup d'etat & treaty
by which he declared himself in effect the
common enemy of Europe. He offered to
consent to the Confederation of the German
him to assassinate Belgium and dismember
Holland, the infamy of this proposal being
heightened by the fact that by a solemn treaty

Belgian independence. Prussia treated the
, proposal with disdain; virtually gave him
notice that she did not value his assent to the
confederation, and would not ask for
. it. The confederation was to be accom
plished whether he liked it or not.
Whether the present war is also to be a
. French blunder it would be useless to pre
dict. If it turn out anything else, it will
differ essentially from the Emperor's previous
. achievements. He certainly has made some
mistakes in the mode of beginning it. By
the exposure of the secret treaty Bismarck
. has turned upon his adversary the hatred and
fear of , all the European powers. By the
violence and injustice of the declaration of
war NapoleoDjhas sacrificed the moral support
rf all OTltrvVfTiOf1 man urViila. Vtia InantantiA
, towards Spain has deeply offended the Spa
nish , people, notwithstanding the dubious
attitude of Spanish statesmen. And of one
thing we may be assured: whatever the issue
of the contest, the union of North and South
Germany, whioh France so earnestly desires
to prevent, is already practically accomplished
by Napoleon's own act.
PERSONAL INTERESTS AND GREAT
PARTIES,
from the X. T. Times.
In reference to the campaign in Ohio, the
Cincinnati Gazette gives prominence to a
rumor that the Republican party in that State
is to be organized this year with special re
gard to the next election of a United States
Senator 'the State Central Committee is to
be constructed, as far as possible, in the in
terest of some one aspirant to that high posi
. tion." This is not the first time the Repub
lican party of Ohio has been made subordi
nate to individual ambition. Nominations
. for the Legislature which elected Sherman
over Schenck were controlled by preferences
fn. UA IIiaoa ' 1 1 m
. the result was a demoralized Legislature,
whose general incompetency disgusted and,
for a time, defeated the Republicans. The
Gazette protests against a repetition of the
experiment as unwise and dangerous, because
"calculated to weaken and distraot at a time
when concentration and a complete union of
forces are needed."
' The mischief complained of is not confined
to Ohio. There are few States in which ita
effects have not been more than once dis
cernible, and still fewer that should not pon
der the warning addressed to Ohio Republl
cans, A Senatorship may not always be the
disturbing influence, though when it does
. operate there are not many more powerful.
But the evil always assumes the same cene-
Vol fltlUMLiAM I'ltA wtnaatM A a Z li
suffers from factions formed within it; for
these factio- -t are actuated by purposes at
variance wnu its usefulness and welfare,
Sometimes the factions represent rival
Ecnaiomi pretentions soaietiu.es com-
peting combinations for the management
of local offices. Their tendency is always
the same. They invest with power men who
eubstitnte impudence for bruins, who deem
intrigue of mure importance than prinoiple,
and who drive into retirement the majority
of those whose abilities and reputations
qualify them for really 'efficient servioe. It
is a game in which the worst men have the
best chnnces; they play for stakes that are
degrading, with cards which high-principled
Republicans will not touch. The party in
whose name the game is carried on invariably
pays the penalty. Ohio may be familiar with
its tricks, but no State has experienced more
f its disastrous consequences than New
York. It has given us defeat instead of vic
tory, and has converted what should be
sources of strength into causes of almost
hopeless demoralization.
Here end every where,'duty and interest are
identical in regard to the nominations to be
made this fall. Whether the contest be for
seats in Congress or for positions in Stntes,
personal claims must give way to broader
considerations. There is an idea in some
quarters that the Republican party was made
exclusively for those who manage it, and
nominations are arranged accordingly.
Senatorsand Congressmen and committee
men are parties to the plan. How the Re
publican party will gain or lose, and how
the country will fare under the treatment,
are, in their judgment, questions of minor
importance. The great essential is that
"politics shall pay." We cannot too strongly
urge upon Republicans the necessity of
frustrating these tactics, and of deciding in
some emphatic manner that the Republican
organization shall be freed from the sinister
dictation which in many localities now dooms
it to disaster. The people, who neither buy
places nor sell principles, have the matter in
their own hands. It is for them to say
whether the party they have so faithfully
sustained shall be subject to special inte
rests, personal or corporate, or whether by
wise and honest management it shall secure
strength enough to prosecute its reforming
mission to the end.
MR. JAY AND HIS LITTLE SPEECHES
CAPTAIN COSTIGAN OUTDONE.
From thA Y. Btm.
Mr. John Jay, the Minister of the United
States at Vienna, Austria, has forwarded to
this city for publication an account of a
dinner which he gave at Vienna, in celebra
tion of last Fourth of July. The account
appeared in the 'Tribune of Tuesday, and
fills a column and a half of that dull and
usually false-reporting jeurnal. However, as
this communication emanates from Mr. Jay
himself, it may be assumed to be as near the
truth as the modesty of its distinguished au
thor would permit.
Under the exhilaration occasioned by the
contemplation of the celebrities around him,
to say nothing of the heap of regrets from
the aristocratio individuals who were reluo
tantly compelled to deny themselves the plea
sure of eating his dinner and drinking his
wine, Mr. Jay s speech-making powers, whioh
were so long the joy, the admiration, and the
pride of the Union League Club here in New
York, came out in full force.
First of all, Mr. Jay rose after dinner, and
proposed the health of the President of the
United States in a little speech which occu
pies about half a column of the Tribune's
smallest type, and is chock full of historio
lore about the Revolution and the late war.
This speech having been received "with
warm applause," Mr. Jay again rose, and in
another little speech proposed the health of
his Imperial-Royal Majesty, Francis Joseph,
Emperor of Austria, Apostolio King of II an-
g"y- . . . .
Uount von Deust Having responded for his
august master, and proposed in return Mr.
Jay's own health, Mr. Jay made a third little
ppeecb, and proposed the Health of the
Austrian ministry and Count Potocki.
'I his last-named nobleman having re
sponded to the compliment paid him, Mr.
Jay, in a fourth little speech, proposed the
health of his "honorable and distinguished
friend, his Excellency the Count George
Festetics."
After the response of Count Festetics, Mr.
Jay for the fifth time made a little speech
and gave as a toast: "Pease to the nations
of the world and health to their representa
tives at Vienna. " His Eminence Mgr. Falci
nelli Antoniacci acknowledged this compli
ment on behalf of his colleagues, and pro
posed in response, "The great Republic of
the United States," which the company rose
to honor. And then Mr. Jay again, for the
sixth time, made a little speech, and proposed
the Health of the army and navy of the United
States; and with this toast, he says in his
report, "the proceedings ended;" or, as it
might be expressed in the American vernacu
lar, he dried up !
This extraordinary succession of after-dinner
speeches by Mr. Jay is paralleled only by
those of the celebrated Captain Costigaa, in
Thackeray's "Pendennis," at the dinner given
to him by the Chatteris Buccaneers on the
occasion of his departure with his daughter,
the distinguished Miss Emily Fotheringay,
for London. At this dinner, as we are told
by the lamented novelist:
The cloth having been drawn, tbe chairman said,
'Costtgan, there is wine, If you like ;' but ttie Cup
tain preferring punch, that liquor was voted by accla
mation. The chairman gave the health of the
'king,' which was drunk with the loyalty of Chatteris
men, and then, without further circumlocution, he
proposed the health of their friend, 'Captain
Costtgan.'
"Alter the enthusiastic cheering which rang
through old Chatteris had subsided, Captain Costi
gan rose la reply and made a speeoh of twenty
minutes, in which he was repeatedly overcome by
his emotions,
'Mr. lllcka, Croupier, In a brilliant and energetlo
manner, proposed Miss Fotherlngay's health.
"Captain Costigan returned thanks la a speech
full of feeling and eloquence,
"Mr. Jubber proposed the Drama and the Chatto
ris Theatre, and Mr. Bingley was About to rise, but
was prevented by Captain CosUgan, who, as long
connected with tbe Chatteria Theatre, and ou behalf
of his daughter, thanked the company.
"The Army was then proposed, and Captain Cos
tigan returned thanks. In the course of the night
he san? hla well-known books. The Deserter.' 'The
Shan Van Voght,' 'The Little l'lg under the Bed,'
and 'The vaie or Avoca.' xneavening wis a great
triumph for him. It ended. All triumphs and all
evenings end."
And so, too, Mr. Jay'a dinner and speeches
bad an end.
"SYMPATHY."
From, the If. Y. Nation. .
One would imagine, from the severity of
the rebukes and admonitions with -which a
portion of the American press is visiting the
enthusiasm which the Germans in this country
are displaying in the cause of Prussia in the
pending war, that it was a time-honored cus
tom of the American publio to regard foreign
wars with a cold, judicial serenity, and that
there waa nothing our newspapers and poli
ticians more sedulously a voided than any ex
pression of feeling about conflicts in which
the United States had no immediate material
interest. Indeed, to read some of the articles
which have appeared during the last week,
one might fairly conclude that the notion
that "sympathy" had any place in interna
tional relations had just been concocted by
tLe Cfcrnum-Americans for the purpasa of
dragging the United States into some sort of
demonstration against France, and that the
term waa nnknown in our politics.
The fact is, however, that there .is no
tontitry in the world in which the sympa
thetic habit of mind is so realously cultivated,
and in which one or other of the parties to
nearly every quarrel is so sure of having the
founts of feeling made to play for his benefit.
It is just as much as the Government can do,
whenever a convulsion of any sort breaks out
between any of tbe principal powers of the
world, to prevent the eruption of a sort of
supplemental conflict on American soil, or
the introduction of the controversy into
American politics as "an issue." The chair
man of. the House Committee of Foreign
Affairs, indeed, stands constantly on the
watch, pocket-handkerchief in hand, for the
purpose of pointing out to the nation some
cause to take np or some victim to weep
over. One does not need to be very old to
have swum through half a dozen floods
of sympathetic tears. The country went
nearly crazy over the Hungarians, and, in
deed, over one party of the Hungarians
which Hungary has since rejected. The
Young Ireland martyrs also about the same
time threw a good many people into a melting
mood. Since then, the patriots whom Maxi
niilian kept from establishing "truth and jus
tice, religion and piety" in Mexico have
been feted and caressed. The bands of Greek
robbers and politicians who got up the
Cretan insurrection found no difficulty in
having a regular organization established here
to aid them, with the accompaniment of a
newspaper, public meetings, and subscrip
tions, and music, and the press resounded for
months with frantio praises of them.
The Fenians the heroes of Trout River,
and Franklin, and Elm Park were able
to command so much "sympathy" that the
Foreign Committee of the House reported
and the Republican majority of the House
voted for a bill, the avowed object of which
was so to modify the neutrality laws as to
permit large bands of cut-throats and thieves
to pass our frontier to murder and rob the
Canadians, and that the leading organs of the
Republican press fiercely abused the Presi
dent for doing his duty by stopping them.
We need not say anything about Cuba the
latest object of our "sympathy." We have
all been sympathizing with that island for
the last year, some of us for love and some
for money, and it seems as if our compassion
for her had no limits.
But do we exact from others what we are
so ready to bestow? Yes, we do. Her fail
ure to sympathize with us during the late
Rebellion has so affected our relations with
England as to make our differences with her
almost incapable of adjustment, and to have
sown the seeds of bitterness that will proba
bly bear fruit for generations. On the other
hand, the ready accordance of sympathy on
the part of Russia has so fixed that power in
tbe affections of a large po- lion of the Ameri
can publio, that we shut our eyes to the ex
traordinary inhumanity, to use a mild term,
of her policy towards the Poles. With Buch
a record as this open before us, it is needless
to say that there is not much use in calling on
the Germans to be silent and impar
tial witnesses of a struggle which
is to drench their old homes in the
blood of their fathers and brothers,
and on the result of which the place and in
fluence of their race in European civilization
is to depend. Moreover, although we con
demn, as strongly as anybody can, ail attempts
to commit the United States Government to
any participation in the controversy, or to
make difficult the rigid performance . of its
neutral duties, and though we confess we
think neither llr. Carl Schurz nor any other
United States Senator is in his plaoe in going
about the country delivering speeches on
either one side or the other, we are not in
clined to exact from the Germans that com
plete casting-out of the old German Adam,
and that complete transformation into pure
and judicial-minded American citizens, for
which some of our contemporaries are calling
on them. Germans are men, like the rest of
the world, and there is no magic in natu
ralization to convert them into anything else.
When their kinsmen bleed, they must feel
sad; when they triumph, they must rejoice;
and when they watch the struggles of the
nation to which they once belonged, and
which nothing short of a miracle can prevent
retaining a large portion of their tenderest
affections, they would be more or less than
human if they could suppress all sign of
interest in the progress and result of the
strife. We confess we think they are not
worse but better American citizens for utter
ing all they feel.
As to the attitude of native Americans
towards the struggle, we believe a good many
excellent people refuse to see any claim to
our sympathy on either one side or the other,
simply because they have got into what we
cannot help calling tbe depraved habit of
rnind of thinking that no struggle can have
any interest for republicans if carried on by
monarobs, and that, to make a cause holy or
respectable, its supporters must be "Rebels."
This was not always so. During our Rebel
lion, we Eaw the rapid growth of the idea that
all 'Rebels must be bad men, a striking
illustration of the confusing influence
which words so often exercise on ideas.
So also in England, thousands justified
their sympathy with the South by simply
alleging that the South was "the
weaker side," or the minority, and seemed to
think that rational beings, making a profes
sion of Christianity, were not called upon,
before they patted a combatant on
the back, to ask whether he had
the right on his side. Intelligent men,
however, before passing judgment on a
war, ask not Bimply what are the names
and titles of the belligerents, or what is their
relative strength, but what are they fighting
about, and what is their fighting likely to
result in 'i "Emperor" and "king, "loyalist"
and "rebel," are but signs by which the great
problems of politics are worked out; it is
with tbe result that the rest of the world is
concerned.
Applying these tests to the conflict on the
Rhine, it is difficult to see where an enlight
ened American can find an excuse either for
indifference or neutrality. The result of a
French viotory it is not bard to foresee. The
Emperor, after eighteen years of a degrading
tyranny, was driven last winter, by a series
of military and diplomatic reverses, and the
scandalous financial abuses of his adherents,
into making certain concessions to liberalism.
He bad no sooner made them than be
deprived them of all value by the same
cunning manipulation of universal suffrage
by which be secured tbe popular approval
of the coup d'etat, - and he thereupon
rushed into war, with the hope, which events
show to be well-grounded, of turning the
popular mind away from questions of internal
reform, and reconciling the nation to a re
newal of the military regime. His triumph
over Prussia would certainly put an end to all
talk of further changes in the direction of
freedom. It would lead to the open restora
tion of personal government, the open re
vival of that contempt for the writers and
t4.li.ti that id, for the mind of France
which tbe court and ita followers were never
tired of proclaiming between 1851 aul
1800; the renewed coercion of the press, and
the elevation of the army once more to the
first place in the government. It would wipe
out the memory of the crimes, - frauds,
extravagances, defalcations, and slaughters
by which the eyes of the French people were
being gradually opened to the real character
of imperialism, and probably fix the yoke on
their necks so thoroughly that the "young
Augustus," who is now going to play at war,
like Louis XIV, on the Rhine, under his
father's eye, would be able to take the reins
and the whip, and mount without further
trouble or molestation.
PruFsia, it is true, has a strong leaven of
feudalism in it; but it is gradually and rapidly
getting rid of it; in any case, not only has
feudalism rendered good service to man
kind, but every trace of it is disappearing,
and nowhere more quickly than in North
Germany. There is no State more "modern"
in the best sense of the word than Prussia;
none in which an intelligent human being
counts for more, or in which brains exercise
so much influence on politics.' It was very
true, as Ernest Renan said, that "it was the
universities which conquered at Sadowa."
We have little doubt they w ill conquer again
on the Rhine; at all events, we feel bound in
the. interest of civilization to hope so.
If any power is to have more weight in
the family of European nations than An
other, we are all interested in its being the
power whose armies contain most readers and
writers, and which when it goes to war has
to call most intelligent citizens from their
homes. It has been a favorite saying of the
Bonapartes that "bayonets don't think."
Bayonets are, however, beginning to think;
and the more they think the less chance there
will be in the world for the class of adven
turers of which the Bonapartes are the most
illustrious members. The Prussian army is
fighting for a free press, a free parliament,
popular education; for the supremacy of
reason over brute force, of the citizen over
the soldier, of law over imperial "deerees,"
of an armed people over hired armies, of in
dustry over gambling. In other words, they
defend modern civilization against the
worst and latest of its enemies.
NAUTICAL NONSENSE.
from the N. Y. World.
The result of the yacht race is not so
grievous to the patriotic mind as the degree
of imbecility which it has been the occasion
of incidentally exhibiting upon the part of
those who assume to instruct their fellows
upon nautical as well as terrene topics. For
example, there was displayed upon the bulle
tins of the 2 nbun eon Wednesday the astound
ing statement that a yacht was passing Long
Branch "under a jib-sheet at her mainsail
Bpar." The appearance of a yacht under
these unprecedented circumstances is cer
tainly eo singular that it might well have ar
rested the attention of the sojourners at the
resort in question, and have been deemed
worthy of being related in a despatch. But
both the grandeur and the singularity of this
nautical phenomenon would have bee en
hanced had the accomplished correspondent
additionally informed his readers, as doubt
less he would have done had it occurred to
him, that the yacht had every bulkhead set,
her capstan double-reefed, and every dead-eye
fluttering in the wind. It mitigates our
wonder at the marine . trope in whioh the
Reverend Mr. Beeoher baa recently indulged,
to the effect that a yacht must be taken to
mid-ocean before she can "be brought to her
moorings," when we reflect that that divine
undoubtedly derives his nautical notions from
the Tribune, as the Tribune reoiprocally
derives its theologio notions from him, and
that the orthodoxy of the Tribune is therefore
as unimpeachable as the seamanship of Mr.
Beecher. But it was reserved for an edi
torial owl to cap the climax of absurdity by
deolaring in an afternoon paper of yesterday
that, although the event does not prove that the
Cambria has most "speed," it does show that
she has most "bottom." It is really rendered
almost doubtful by this expression whether
the person who made use of it knows that a
yacht is not an animal, needing rest and re
freshment, but a meohanical construction,
insusceptible of fatigue, and consequently
capable of "bottom" enough to keep up her
"speed" to unlimited periods. He evidently
considers that if relays of lighters, with suffi
cient quantities of oats and water, had been
provided for the Dauntless, the refreshment
thus afforded that noble beast would
have enabled her to win the
race. After this transcendency of
nonsense, we are no longer capable of even
the mildest surprise at his subordinate
absurdities. We can bear with equanimity
to see him assume the tripod of Bunsby, and
observe that "our fast sailors are in the
vocative" whatever the vocative may be
although we know that, as matter of fact,
they are mostly in the lower bay. We are
not even moved at so magniflcant a misstate
ment as that it is "two score of years" since
tbe America was launched. Ignorance of
nautical matters is no crime. In fact, it has
been held by sundry cynics to be a virtue.
But assumption of knowledge upon any sub
ject combined with dense and dismal igno
rance of that subjeot is as discreditable as it
is ridiculous.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE WAR.
From, th .Y, 1'. HeraM.
The Bank of England begins to take pre
cautionary measures in consequence of the
war between Franoe and Prussia. It has
raised the rateof discount, in order to hold on
to its specie, and thus is providing for eventu
alties as well as to check the drain that might
be made for war purposes on the Continent.
We are informed, too, that the Bank of France
baa decided to pay out silver only, which
means, we suppose, that it intends to hold on
to the gold reserve. We hear, at the same
time, of failures beginning at the London
Stock Exchange. It is estimated that the de
preciation of securities of different kinds in
England, inoluding foreign stocks, between
July 4 and 12, was about five hundred mil
lions of dollars. If we take into account the
decline of the French rentes, Prussian securi
ties, and all other European stocks, both up
i to the 12th of July and since, tne fall in
values must be enormous. It was said that
the house of Rothschild alone had lost
about twentv millions ot dollars. Of course.
there must be a vast number of sufferers, who,
are not as well able to -bear loss as the Roths
childs, and the consequence will be failures
and a general financial disturbance. Should
ICV war continue loug, uiu especituiy n it
fchould spread beyond France mUCI l'rassiaJ
there will, no doubt, oe a ieariui crasn.
Under these circumstances what will be the
effect upon the securities and financial affairs
of the United States ? As a matter of course
our securities have declined in common with
all the rett abroad. This is tbe natural con
sequence of the connection and sympathy
which exist in the monetary world, and is
independent of the intrinsic value of stocks.
But in the end the credit ef those nations that
are not involved in or directly affected by war
mutt lise. Though there may be lesa woacy
to invest tbaa in time of peace, the securities'
of a great neutral and prosperous nation like
ours will be in demand and will rise high
comparatively. We seed not be alarmed,
therefore, about our credit abroad, however
long or widespread the war may be. "After
the decline which takes nlaoe at first in nvm
pathy with the fall of securities in general in
European markets there must Oome a reac
tion. People will be alad to find suoh a safe
and profitable means of investment aa the
United States offer under the disturbance and
uncertainty of things in Europe. We advise
both the Government and our bankers and
dock operators to look at the matter in this
light and to prepare for future contingencies.
