2 TFTK DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1870. sriniT or Taa fruss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. FRANCE AT BAY. From the X. Y. Timta. Tfcese are the darkest days I'm are has leeu called tm to pass through since Fear And Riiiiety hang over every household in Taris. A few days ago the majority of the French people believed that their Jinnies would never be uprooted from German soil rtntil rrvtssia wied for peace. With startling suddenness, the whole prospect' ha? been changed. It is ft quest ion' not of marching to Berlin but of saving Paris. The LTtuperor has fled to Chalons, apparently in the despe rate hope of stemming the tide of invasion should it penetrate beyond Metz. The dis aster is too vast to be disguised. The French Ministry, instead of announcing triumphs, can only "beseech the people to po forth to the defense of their native land. Those who Lave seen in this war only a question between Napole'ou and Bismarck, between despulism and freedom, between one man and the ascendancy of liberal ideas, would naturally suppose that this appeal for fresh armies would be unheeded. They leave out of consideration the fact that, when a proud nation sees its existence threatened, it will generally push all political differences aside, and strike for the preservation of its honor. If Napoleon perished to-morrow this war would go on. Already the National Guard are clamoring to be led to the front. The love of "Fatherland," whic h we praise in the Germans, is not extinct in the French, and although our sympathies are withdrawn from the latter people in their struggle, we may assume for the present that the invasion of their soil by a foreign ermy will not be a sub ject of rejoicing with them. But the crisis is tremendous. Even France with all her resources may not be able to cope successfully with it. The Prussian commanders are succeeding by the same tactics as those which they found so efficient in the Austrian campaign. While the enemy is laying plans for an advance, they hurl vast masses of men upon him. and swallow him up. Thus they gain an inestimable advan tage at the outset of the struggle. It was said of the Austrians that they did not fight so well as the Prussians, aud .they were not so well armed. Mr. Dicey wrote, in lsi!i, "The Prussians have not as yet had the opportunity . of showing how , their troops would conduct themselves if confronted by an army which attacked them with the vigor of the French.' Tho test has now been made, and the result is a repetition of Koniggratz. The Prussian army, and the Prussian system of tactics, are btill invincible. Every part of Napoleon's plans has been brought to utter confusion. Jf he had any chance at all to begin with, he very soon lost it. lie ha3 now to lead a Deaten army. The magic which still dung to the name of Napoleon in the inmds f tho soldiers is gone. It is an alarming emer gency which the French Chambers will be called upon to consider. The Journal Officiel of Monday tells us that the relations of the French Government with the neutral powers continue to be satis factory. These relations would probably be much more satisfactory if some of the great powers would throw off their neutrality, and send a few battalions to the aid of France. If the position of England is "satisfactory'' to herself, she enjoys that satisfaction alone. Prussia is covertly threatening her, and France is deeply incensed. It is the story of our own war ever again. England's policy, if a series of blunders can be digni fied with the name of policy, is so contrived as to offend both sides at once. England may some day be called .upon to account both. to France and Prussia for pursuing a course which pretended to be strictly neiurai, nnu was m reainy mimical ro Dotu. When that time arrives she will tind it more hopeless to look for allies thau France does now. iShe has sown the seeds of hatred all over the world, and the crop of veugeanca will assuredly spring up. The bulk of the people of England know nothing about for eign politics the organs of ''public opinion" generally run wild in times of excitement. Thus it happens that, at this moment, Prus sia is shaking the rod over Eugland's back, and France remembers that she has something (besides Waterloo to avenge. . Meanwhile France is called upon to make fresh sacrifices in behalf of this new war for an "idea." The Ministers think the National Guard can defend Paris, but ."there is a point not less essential it is the necessity of tiling up the void in our army." They deal plainly with the people there is no help for it. It will be necessary to call out all availa ble forces, even a portion of the yeumtar maie. bo soon has this great power been reduced to its last resources ! The "seven week' war" with Austria was not half so start ling, for Austria was ill-prepared, and knew nothing of her antagonist's strength. France has been making preparations for years, and yet two days' fighting disperses a magnificent army, and obliges her to bring another into the field, gathered from all quarters. The Ministers boast that they can still bring forward two millions of men to meet the invader, all armed, and many of them trained soldiers. They are not afraid to call out those forces which are ordinarily sup posed to be less favorable to the Empire than the regular army. So far we hear of no dis sensions. A common danger unites the country just as a common danger lately united Germany. A foolish telegram from Antwerp says that "the opinion" there is that the war will be over in a week. Ant werp was, we believe, a place of some im portance in the fifteenth century, but we were not aware till to-day that the opinion of its inhabitants at present decides the fates of empires, or is a potent factor in European politics. It is probable, however, the opinion of these omniscient burghers notwithstanding, that it will take more than a week to break either of the great powers now arrayed gainst each other. THE VOICE OF THE CONTINENTAL f HESS OF EUllOPE ON THE WAU. from the X. Y. HeraW, Onr files of European exchanges, dating late into the closing weeks of July, and conse quently expressing opinion at the great con tinental centres as it was announced in print only a few days Dei ore tne imposing events bow in progress, give a fair transcript of the public thought. . V e have already made oo pious extracts from the English papers, and here and there given some uints of the feel ins that existed in the countries adjacent to France; but a more detailed notice of the lat ter will be neither out of place nor uninte resting at this moment, when the probable attitude of Beveral powers is so earnestly can vassed in the I'jnt of the reverses that have jnst befallen I rennn arms. It is noedlcss almost to Any that the Prus sSah press, without exception, very firmly and, in som cases, enthusiastically uphold the cause of "King and Fatherland," to use their own peculiar phrase, but it is worthy of note that this adhesion is shared by the ultra liberals and monarchists alike, aud that in such expression there is no diff erence of creed. In South Germany a few papers ven ture to debate the propriety of conceding the whole position of control to Prussia, but not one that we have seen advocates an alliance or even a co-operation with France. In Austria the case is somewhat different. Nearly all the liberal journals, such as the I'retue, the Nrvt Frtie I'reste, and the Wan dtrer insist upon absolute and unconditional neutrality, but the aristocratic and mili tary organs, without exception, favor France. The official journals, such as the Gazette and the Ahe'ntf Zeiti.ing. maintain a cautious reserve, and deny all rumors of secret treaties and movements of troops and fleets. The Northeastern ('crrepo)tdeiice refers to the resolutious.nrging neutrality which were passed by the municipal councils of Vienna and other leading cities of the Austrian em pire, and blames what it terms the precipitate action of Southern Germany in recognizing the casus fwderis, or federal pact, with Prus. sia at this time. The Bnssian press is some what divided, the quasi official organs con fining themselves to a bald statement of facts, vet giviDg it in such a way as to reveal a ieaning toward Prussia. The Journal de St. Pttenbotirg, however, is quite impartial, but deplores the idea of war, and very sensibly points to its accompanying devastations and perils in the present state of Europe. The O'olos, which is considered the mouthpiece of Bnssian liberalism, on the other hand, comes out very decidedly for the French cause, and intimates that Prussia, in case of success, might become a dangerous neighbor to the Muscovite empire. At the same time it does not hint at any direct intervention, but says: "Even should Austria and Italy interfere in this war we should not be compelled to follow their example. The more numerous the powers involved in it the greater will be the advantage of neutrality to us. As proof of this we may cite the immense profits which Prussia reaped by remaining neutral during the Crimean war." The papers of Sweden and Denmark with one accord, excepting the official sheets, reveal strong French tenden cies, and those that favor Scandinavian union are "hot i' the mouth" in that direction. The lUrUifjxl'e 1'idende of Copenhagen, however, mingles some discretion with its valar, and advises caution. Prussia has a long aud a strong arm, and is within easy striking dis tance. Italy is checkered all over with various opinions. At Venice, Verona, and Milan the press have strong French sympathies, but prefer neutrality to any demonstration on either side. The same may be said, in a modified sense, of Turin, although Napo leonic views grow more distinct as we ap proach the French frontier. As a spocimen we may quote the Perse cera,i-.a of Milan, which says: "The absolute preponderance of one as of the other of these powers is hurtful to us; but that of Prussia is, indeed, far more so." Again, "We must remain neutral, and should not change our attitude until the war should become European by the interference of other pow ers." However, in view of the trouble at Borne and the danger which "the defeat of France would terribly increase," it advises an armed neutrality. The humorous papers of all the Italian cities carioature Napoleon III unsparingly and join the Garibaldian organs in demanding the occupation of Borne, with or without French consent. The Nasione of Florence, which is the organ of Victor Emanuel and his Cabinet, strenuously advo cates a careful, watchful armed neutrality, with increased naval and military prepara tion and concentration of resources. The Spanish press is somewhat indig nant, as a general thing, at the dicta torial interference of the French Emperor, but some of the republican organs cry " Vive hi France!'' The Tiempo of Madrid predicts that the latter "will win her verita ble object because it is in the nature of things, and what is natural always succeeds. It predicts a short and terrible war, to result in good for Europe. The Belgian and Dutch journals exhibit great alarm, and are almost unanimous for strictly neutral precautions; but where a shade of preference is observable it is for the French. The general deduction that the intelligent reader will draw from this brief and rapid survey is that France is likely to be Jisolated unless at the eleventh hour Italy and, as we have hinted in former articles, Great Britain come to the rescue; and in that combination many read the shibboleth of revolution. IMPEBTINENT INTERVIEWING. From, the X. Y. World. A certain portion of the American press seem to be bent on doing their worst to make journalism odious by claiming for journalists an unbounded license of impertinent interfe rence with personal rights and of irresponsi ble criticism upon private life. One of the latest demonstrations of this sort appears in the form of a pretended "interview" between tne correspondent of a radical newspaper and President Grant on the subject of the Euro pean war. The account is a perfect farrago of nonsense, in the course of which President Grant is made to talk of war and history and foreign politics much as a Japanese idiot might who had been trying to learn English from a combined study of the special correspondent the London JJaily New with Abbott's "Life of Napoleon." Of course, it is entirely certain that President Grant, whatever his incapaci ties may be for the Presidential office (and, as our readers know, we think those incapacities both vast and various), has quite . too much sense of what is due to himself and his high office to gabble in this fashion with a casual ferret of the minor press. No sensible person will for a moment suspect the gibberish of which we speak to be authentic. Bat the mat ter, otherwise contemptible, merits notice as a conspicuous instance of a crescent and a crying abuse. Only the other day a poor creature who was hanged in Ohio was "inter viewed" on the morning of his execution by a dismal booby who literally noted down and described the fact that the criminal, in openiDg his shirt collar that the executioner might measure his neck for the rope, "twisted his mouth and head as one does in unfasten ing a button!" We quote the very words of this inconceivable drivel, because they illus trate the extreme of imbecility, as the pre tended comments of President Grant upon Bismarck as "a swamp angel,-" and upon the Germans as descending from a "lot of Hes sians hired out by Frederick the Great to England," illustrate the extreme of impu dence. Between these extremes the "inter viewer" of the period deliriously oscillates, to the utter befuddlement of such small wits as God may have given him, and to the sore degradation of the public taste. Anl of more than the public taste. This discredit able erection of gossip into a public function lowers the ton of the public character also. j We have seen but the other day the most out I rageeus aspersions upon the ucluppy 6oa of a gentleman who had been foully murdered in his own house net afloat in the community by one of these "interviewers," in revenge, as it appeared, for the refusal of the son to submit in the height of his great affliction to a petty and illegal inquisition, instituted in the hope that the real observations of the real son of a man really murdered might have a marketable value. The theory of this per version of publicity seems to be that no man has a right to any fact of his own life or any feeling of his own heart which anybody else can bo found to pay another man three cents for publishing. This is a sort of practical communism which in other times and in other countries people have been apt to restrain either with the cudgel or by the constable. It is of one piece intrinsicaily with the practi cal communism which leads a gentleman' who lacks a watch to appropriate the timekeeper of his next neighbor. In the case of a President of the United States, the' outrage must necessarily go un punished, except by the voice of the public. To denounce it. as it ought to be denounced in the case of President Grant, is to do but simple justice to the President. Possibly, also, it may nerve men's minds to think whether it really is quite impossible to sup press the nuisance altogether. THE SITUATION IN PAKIS. From the X. F. Tribune. The dangers which threaten the Emperor on the Moselle are trivial in comparison with the dangers that assail him from the Seine. If we remember how close is the censorship over telegrams from Paris, how carefully every message which tells of trouble for the government or peril to the dynasty is shorn and trimmed before it is permitted to pass out of the empire, we shall be the better able to appreciate the awful significance of a few brief sentences which nave roachod us from the French capital. That the nation would put forth extraordinary exertions in order, to repel a foreign invasion nobody doubted. The defeat of tho grand army has roused a true patriotic rage, and will put hun dreds of thousands of ardent men in the field. But with the martial ardor of the hour is roused a deep-seated grief and dis appointment at the failure of the leader who promised a few weeks ago to carry the French eagles in triumph to Berlin. France will light, but she has lost confidence in her commander. She clamors for a general arming of the people. She pushes aside the incompetent ruler who has led her into disaster, and demands that she shall have the direction of her own destinies. She is persuaded that nothing but bad generalship can defeat her armies, and she is burning with resentment at the cause of her disgrace. The people, in fact; are fast getting beyond the control of the Government, and although they answer with alacrity the Emperor's call to arms, they demand at the same time that arms shall be placed in the hands of the whole population, and no longer Napoleon but the men of France shall have the command of the country. Napoleon's attempt to pacify the tumult by sacrificing a general is not likely to be successful. Whoever planned the campaign, the Emperor anil not General Le Bceuf is responsible for its adoption, and will ultimately bear the penalty of its failure. We need hardly point out how fearfully ominous in this hour of disaster and excite ment is the appointment of a National Com mittee, with plenary powers to act in all things concerning the war. It makes little difference who may be the original members of this extraordinary body, for if they fail to satisfy the people, the people will be sure to have them changed. It makes little diffar ence how moderately they enter upon their functions, for if affairs continue to go ill they will be swept along by the torrent of popular indignation. We do not believe the Bonaparte dynasty will withstand another de feat; we question whether it has not already received its death-blow. The impending con flict at Metz threatens to involve not only the issue of the German war, but the existence of the Napoleonic empire, and the National Committee, which begins its labors as the auxiliary.of a threatened despotism, may find itself in a few days the governing power of a revolutionary republic. PAUL SCHOEPPE. Froni the Baltimore bun. We gave yesterday authenticated transcripts of judicial documents relating to the crimes, trial, condemnation, and final departure from prison in Germany, of Paul Schoeppe, now under sentence of death at Carlisle, Pennsyl vania, for the murder of Miss Steinecke, of Baltimore. It is one of the mott surprising narrations of subtle and audacious villainy that wo have ever read. The record itself has the minuteness of detail and exactness of a daguerreotype. It gives the parentage, the birthplace, the day of the birth, the religious denomination, the branch of military service, the conduct while there, the first act of crime, and then every particular of its succes sive stages. It then describes the man's person, his precise height to the twelfth of an inch; it does net leave ont small scars and warts: it even opens his mouth, as a jockey would the mouth of a horse, and compels him to disclose the exact state of his incisors and grinders. Vet, won derful to tell, this prison convict, thus marked and branded all over, of whom the Berlin court says, "the uncommon degree of educa tion and the shrewdness of Paul Schoeppe render him a peculiarly dangerous criminal," comes to this country, between which and his native land there was such constant commu nication, settles in a section where many of his countrymen or their immediate descend ants live, flourishes as a physician, and w ith his plausible, ingenious talk imposes himself without difficulty upon the credulous public as a person of respectability and character. Those medical associates who, when Doctor Schoeppe was convicted of the murder of Miss Steinecke, expressed their sympathy with a brother physician in difficul ties, must now concede, in view of the fact that Paul Schoeppe was no doctor, that he must have been a very sagacious man to have imposed on bo learned a profession. Per haps, on the whole, they may derive from it the lesson that class sympathies of this kind are not safe, and that, even if a man has a medical diploma, it does not become him to kill outside the legitimate sphere of his voca tion. It deserves to be placed to the credit of those German fellow-citizens of Paul Schoeppe who at first thought him probably innocent, that when the facts of his history revealed him in his true colors, thev at once abandoned him to Lis fate. Under the loose administration of our laws in regard to the emigration of convicts from other countries, and the general toleration and liberality towards newcomers, this man, though steeped in early and cun ning crime, might have lived here in peace and prosperity, if he had chosen to pursue honest courses after his arrival. With such abilities as he has evinced, he might have had a conspicuous career and gone to his grave an honored citizen, notwithstanding Lis terrible record in Europe. He had all the oppoi Unities of rcovery and ieiutateiunt, and every Inducement to pursue virtuous courses. But he began his new life in America by fraudulently passing himself off as a physician, and, without the scrutiny which is required of others, taking the lives of patients into his hands, nntil, true to the demoniac instincts disclosed in the record published yesterday, he made his assumed profession the means of perpetrating the capital crime for which he is under sentence of death. Who that loves justice and would protect society will listen longer to his de ceitful tales, or do aught to delay the course of the law in his case? SPECIAL. NOTICES.
