THE FRENCH DEFEATS.
The details of the late German victories indi
cate that they were achieved by tactics simi
lar to those successfully employed at Sadowa,
and if a real military genius had been at the
head of the French armies, these victories
would have been converted into terrible de
feats. Several of , our most distinguished
American generals have expressed the opinion
that if the Austrian commander at Sadowa
had marched his whole force against either
wing of the advancing Prussian army,instead of
waiting for the combined attack of both, he
would have been able to defeat his divided
enemy in detail. The first Napoleon was famous
for his skill in conducting operations of this
character. Time and again when converging
armies were sent against him he massed his
entire force against one wins of his foes and
then against another, with terrific effect,
thus disposing in succession of adversaries
so numerous in the aggregate that it would
have been utterly impossible for him to con
tend against them if they had been thoroughly
united. In the late battles an application of
similar tactics would apparently have changed
the fortunes of the war. The Crown Prince
on the Prussian left made an aggressive move
ment which was antagonized by an
inferior foroe under MacMahon; the
Prussian right or right-centre, under General
Steinmetz, made an aggressive movement
which was antagonized by an inferior French
force under General Frossard; and under
these circumstances a double French defeat
was inevitable. "While French eagles, patent
guns, cannon, camps and prisoners were
being captured on account of the suicidal
disposition of the French forces, we are told
that three French army corps, comprising
one hundred thousand men, were lying idle
at points contiguous to the scene of action
so that the Emperor not only neglected a bril
liant opportunity to strike decisive blows at
his enemies, but he betrayed crimi
nal stupidity in his choice of
mere defensive measures. The fact that
somebody has blundered badly is shown by
the announcement that a change of French
commanders has already been effected, Gene
ral Lebot-uf being forced to retire, while Mar
shal Bazaine has been appointed commander-in-chief
and General Trochu, who is said to
be the rising military genius of France, is
appointed Major-General. We have little
doubt that Napoleon himself is the real mar
plot, and that if he would retire to a hospital
or an insane asylum to be treated for his
physical and mental maladies, leaving the
entire management of the campaign to the
genuine soldiers who abound in martial
France, there might still be a hope that her
late disgraces would be wiped out. To do this
effectually, however, it is necessary that
there should be a mighty uprising
of the French people, and the
great question is whether they are
willing to pour forth their blood and treasure
like water without a positive assurance that
their best efforts are not to be set at naught
by the mistakes of their Imperial blunderer.
The revolutionary and republican feeling is
almost inseparable from the frenzied national
furore which now alone can stem the tide of
Prussian success. The democratic journals
of Paris and the democratic members of the
French chambers arJ demanding that every
citizen shall be armed, and if every citizen is
thus armed, who can assure Napoleon that
the weapons of the men whom he has basely
betrayed and cruelly oppressed will not be
turned against himself ?
Another alternative is a hasty termination
of the war, a patched-up truce, leaving
France as deeply humiliated as Austria was
after Solferino and Sadowa. The Prussians
have a habit in such contingencies of demand
ing that the aggressor shall pay the bill of
expenses, and they would probably insist that
the old German provinces of Alsace and Lor
raine'should be surrendered as the fruits of
their late victory. Voluntary consent to such
a loss of territory, however, would scarcely
be less fatal to the Napoleonic dynasty than a
succession of German victories; and let the
Emperor turn which way he will, he finds
himself, like the villain in the last act of a
play, confronted by terrible retributive dan
gers. The fact that fears of the safety of the
French capital absorb a la rge portion of the
attention of the terror-stricken government
Napoleoa established there, and that such
fears have been engendered at the very out
set of the campaign, is a significant proof of
the lack of publio confidence in the Imperial
regime. Paris is one of the most strongly
fortified places in the world, and it will be seen
by the description of its elaborate defenses
in another part of to-day's Telegraph that if
it is defended with proper spirit
it cannot be taken by the
combined armies of Europe. Napoleon has
more to dread from the excited populace
within its walls than from any foe that can
march against it, and we scarcely believe that
tie Germans will, in any event, make an
assault upon the French capital. Their great
duties are to punish their wanton assailant,
to secure a recompense for the expenditures
of the conflict (which they can do by holding
the German provinces ' of 1 France), and to
avert future disturbances of the peace of
Furope by the brood of Corsican tyrants; and
these duties may be accomplished now with
out a demonstration against Paris.
I LINE UPON LINE! .
The North Carolina election is another grave
admonition to the Republican party that it
can maintain its supremacy only by promptly
correcting the evils it has too long cherished
within itself. While the issues of the war
were undecided, patriotic men would close
their eyes to corruption, to incompetent or
otherwise unworthy candidates, and to the
madness of selfish leaders, and vote the Re
publican ticket to save the country; but now
the war has garnered the fulness of its har
vest, and honest citizens will no longer be
made the supple tools of corruptionists.
Every election held this year has been a
fresh notice to the Republican leaders that
the party must reform itself. Connecticut
opened the campaign of 1S70 with disaster,
whereby a faithful and patriotio Governor was
displaced by 800 majority. Oregon followed,
and one of the ablest and most blameless of
our Republican Senators lost his place.
Washington city followed with an open and
decisive rebuke to the political managers who
claimed to be the Republican party. New
York, hitherto a debatable State, gave nearly
00,000 Democratic majority, when the politi
cal complexion of her courts of last re
sort was involved. Kentucky gave no
substantial Republican gains, even with
her large colored vote polled for the
first time. Tennessee has given over her
courts to the Conservatives, thus surrender
ing the last vestige of Republican power in
that State, and now comes North Carolina,
in the face of bayonets forced upon the peo
ple by the ill-advised counsels of bad load.
with a Legislature two-thirds Democratic, ana
but two Republicans in the entire Congres
sional delegation. A Senator is thus sacri
ficed, and a long stride taken toward making
the next Congress Democratic.
With all these admonitions, the professed
Republican leaders close their ears to wis
dom. Instead of meeting the issue frankly,
and appealing to the intelligence of the
people, we are met with the startling propo
sition that Georgia must not hold an election
because the Republicans cannot carry the
State This reckless suggestion to nullify
the laws and defy the people is made this
morning by a Republican contemporary. If
not hold an election in Georgia, why hold one
in any other State ? It is conceded that the
Republicans cannot gain Congressmen, while
it is most likely that they must lose some
in most ot tue Mates. vny not,
therefore, decide that all the Legislatures,
and all the Congressmen, and all
the Governors shall hold over until
matteis can be arranged for Republican vic
tories ? The only reason for not holding an
election is that the Republicans will be de
feated; and the same rule will apply with
equal if not increased potency in all other
States, if mad leaders insist upon , defying
popular opinion and insulting the intelligence
and patriotism of a people peculiarly jealous
of popular rights.
North Carolina was last, as were most of
the other States sacrificed this year by selfish
and blind leadership. Governor Ilolden
allowed the honor and credit of his State to
be destroyed by irresponsible adventurers
with the hope of securing a seat in the Senate;
and, to make assurance doubly sure, he un
dertook to force political results by armed
Jayhawkers, who defied the laws, ignored
justice, and disregarded the courts. The
result was a change of 2",000 to 30,000
against the Republicans, and the surrender
of the State to Democracy for years to come.
In Pennsylvania the same mad policy is
aimed at. The Republican party can suc
ceed only by deserving the approval and con
fidence of the intelligent and patriotio people
of the State. Its abuses, corruptions, and
subordination to shameless pretenders like
Cameron are justly appreciated by all sec
tions, and unless the Republican organization,
as an organization, shall show an earnest, de
termined purpose to reform itself, and restore
the State to faithful government, we shall
lose half a dozen or more Congressmen, and
possibly the Legislature. Senators like Wil
son and Cameron, who bowed to the Washing
ton lobby and continued the inquisitorial in
come tax to save corporations from tax on
gross receipts, may levy heavy tribute upon
starving clerks to defray election expeases,
but all the power of money or patronage will
fail to give the Republicans victory if the
party does not earn it by deserving it.
Pennsylvania can be saved to the Republi
cans, but not by defying the people and the
laws. Let the party, as a party, declare for
constitutional reform, and show the people
that the shameless corruptions of Harrisburg
must be broken up and rendered impossible
henceforth. Let the true men of the party,
who want no office and seek no place or profit
by political prostitution, come to the front
and lead the Republican organization to re
form and victory. Let the Union League
speak. It is the consistent advocate of
reform, and it is a force that could not fail to
be respected. Let it call upon the people to
demand fundamental reform by instructing
legislators to propose a convention, and the
sorely tried Republicans of the State will
take fresh courage and fall into the ranks
again to save the grand organization by re
storing it to purity, patriotism, and the
merited confidence of the country.
THE FATE OF THE FENIANS.
The offense of the Fenians who attempted
the invasion of Canada a f6w months ago was
one of the most serious known to the law;
and although a combination of circumstances
served to render a large number of the people
of the United States at least indifferent to
the annoyance given to the Canadians, every
consideration of justice and self-respect
requires that such outrages shall not only be
discountenanced but sternly punished. We
certainly have no reason to love the Cana
dians for their performances during the Re
bellion, when they went as far as they
dared in the way of sneaking assaults
upon the people of the North, but. dignity
and honor will not permit as to take
our revenge by allowing armed raids over
the border by hordes of crazy Irishmen. Be
cause of the hostile attitude of Canada
towards us, however, the people of the United
States certainly feel a sort of apathy with re
gard to the disposal of the Fenian bandits
who inspired the Eanurks with so much
terror, but the faot remains that O'Neil and
6thers implicated in the raid were guilty of a
great crime, and that they richly deserve to
be punished in a manner that will serve to
inspire them and their sympathizers with a
proper respect for the law. Suppose
such an attack as that - of last
May had been made upon our borders by a
band of rebel refugees from Canada: we cer
tainly would not be satisfied if only a nominal
punishment were awarded them, and it is
only fair that in estimating the guilt of the
Fenians we should put ourselves in the plaoe
of the Canadians. It is to the credit of our
Government that,notwithstanding the offenses
of England and Canada, it interfered promptly
on the occasion of each Fenian raid, in spite
of the provocations we have received that
would have almost excused some little apathy
and the trial, conviction, and 3tenoe of
O'Neil and other Fenian leaders is also cre
ditable, especially when we consider the pow
erful influence brought to bear to prevent
them from receiving their deserts, although
the very mild punishment inflicted is in
reality out of all proportion to the magnitude
of their offense.
'General" O'Neil and "Colonel" Brown
were tried a short time ago at Windsor, Ver
mont, and sentenced to the State Prison; but
this will be scarcely even a nominal punish
ment if, as is reported, these two scamps are
not to be put to labor, are not to assume the
prison garb, or associate with the pther pri
soners, but are to have a room to them
selves, with a separate table and the same
fare as the superintendent, and are to be
treated in all respects like gentlemen, so that
the only inconvenience they will suffer will
be the confinement within the walls of the
prison. It needs no argument to prove that
this is not the way to make the laws re
spected; and yet it seems likely that Messrs.
O'Neil and his compatriot will not be called
upon to endure even this indignity for any
greatlength of time.
A pressure is being brought upon
the President to induce him to grant them
his pardon, and all the politicians who are
anxious to conciliate tho Irish vote are work
ing like beavers to make capital for them
selves by procuring tho liberation of the
Fenian oaptives. The better judgment of
the President must convince him that this is
not a proper cose for the executive inter
ference, and that the cause of law and order
will be best served by allowing the bold
raiders to suffer all the punishment that the
merciful judges imposed upon them. It
is of more importance that ' our national
honor and the dignity of our laws
should be vindicated than that
the Irish vote should be conciliated, and as
President Grant and the party that supports
him are likely to get but a very small pro
portion of the said vote at any rate, he can
well afford to do his whole duty in the matter.
We therefore hope that the President will
refuse positively to yield to the solicitations
of the friends of O'Neil and the other im
prisoned Fenians, and will allow them all the
opportunity that their full terms of imprison
ment will afford to reflect upon whether they
cannot find some better way of liberating
Ireland than by making annual attacks upon
the Canadians.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
It was impossible for the founders of the
Government to decide in every case exactly
what powers had best be given to the General
Government and what had best be left to the
several States. Different matters of detail, too,
that could scarcely have been even thought
of when the Constitution was adopted, have
been brought into prominence by the varied
experiences of an immence increase in terri
tory, the admission of numerous new States,
and changes in the social conditions and rela
tions of the people. Many of these matters
are really of the highest importance, although
for reasons easily understood they have never
been brought prominently forward as subjects
for legislative action. One of the subjects
overlooked by the authors of the Constitu
tion was the regulation of marriages and di
vorces by the National Government, and al
though there are few who will deny that the pre
sent loose and irregular system, by which each
State can pass such laws as it pleases to gov
ern the family relations of its citizens, is pro
ductive of inconvenience, immorality, and,
to some extent, of social demoralization, the
difficulties in the way of proouring an amend
ment to the Constitution will probably pre
vent any proper effort to reform the evil from
being made for many years to come. As a
mere question of national rights against State
rights, it is not a matter of the least conse
quence whether marriages and divorces are
under the immediate supervision of the Na
tional or the State Governments; but it is of
the very highest importance that there should
be uniformity, and that it should be impos
sible for citizens of Pennsylvania or New
York to go to Illinois or Indiana and obtain
divorces under laws so lax that they practi
cally make marriage scarcely more than a
matter of momentary inclination or caprice.
The evil effects of permitting different
States which really form one nation to have'
separate laws on the subject of marriage
and divorce have been fully demonstrated
recently in several cases of gross outrage per
petrated by means of the uncertainty and
confusion caused by the differences that
exist between the laws of England, Scotland,
and Ireland. Mr. Wilkie Collins' latest novel
discusses this subject very thoroughly, and he
shows conclusively what extraordinary com
plications may ensue and what enormities
may be committed under a state of affairs
that scarcely permits a man and woman to
know whether they are legally married
or not, and that affords every
manner of facility to aooundreld
to ruin innocent women with perfect impu
nity. Affairs in this country are certainly not
in so bad a state as they are on the other side
of the water, but they are bad enough to de
mand the serious attention of all good citi
zens; and several specimens that have been
brought before ' the publio quite recently of
the way in which Indiana divorces ca,a be
made use of by men and women who are
attracted by new affinities, indicate that it is
high time our law-makers were dealing with a
subject that has already become an evil of no
email magnitude.

The Perfection of the Art
Ps HEVNER, Sole Proprietor, for the State of Pennsylvania, of the
CELEBRATED "P. P.M WHISKIES,
Nos. 246 S. FRONT and I 17 DOCK St., Phlla.
It has been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain
a very large percentage of impurities; the degree of heat that must necessarily be em
ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxious
gases contained in the mash, whicji when condensed form the deleterious f nsel oil so detri- v
mental to life and health; but, when indulged in to excess, the result is Brain Fever, De
lirium Tremens, Apoplexy, Insanity, tte. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are
apt, even when only used sparingly as a stimulant, to create Nausea, tiick lleadache, In-,
flaminatitm, and Kidney Diseases. .
The "P. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, "stimulate and cheer" without unduly exciting
the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest product
of the Cereals in taccuo, the pressure of the atmosphere being reduced from lbs. to 2
lbs. to the square inch; consequently a temperature of only about 90 degrees of beat is re
quired in the operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CHARCOAL,
ESSENCES, EXTRACTS, DRUGS OR CHEMICALS OF ANY DESCRIPTION. BEING
USED hence the MP. P." Whiskies are not only delicate ia flavor, but pure, wholesome,
and innocuous as a beverage, retaining in simple purity the flavor of the cereals from which
they were distilled.
The "P. P." Whiskies have been tested by some of the most eminent of the Medical
Faculty, by Analytical ChemiBts, and by the best judges of Liquors in the United States,
and pronounced perfectly pure and wholesome, and especially desirable for Family use and
Medical purposes.
Members of the medical faculty, the trade, and the public generally are cordially invited
to call and inspect the machinery and process, and examine the liquors and the impurities
extracted, at the Refinery and W'arerooms, Nos. 216 South FRONT and 117 DOCK Street.
