THE PERILS OF TJIE EMPIRE.
The internal commotions in France prove
that the Emperor b declaration of war against
Prussia was a double blunder, disastrous as a
national movement and to the last degreo
dangerous as a dynastic experiment. The
sturdy Germans are still pressing steadily on
ward, and while they flaunt in his face
trophies of victories such as France never
before yielded up except in an hour of dire
necessity, they throng round the stronghold
at Metz, menace Strasfourg, and prepare to
overrun Alsace and Lorraine. Bismark is re
ported to have said that if the German armies
were victorious they would not insist upon
the abdication of Napoleon, because, it was
their duty to confine their attention to Ger
man objects and not to French ones. Now
there is no object dearer to tho
German heart than German unity, and no
fruit of victory would be more grateful to the
national sentiment evoked by the Prussians
than the reconquest of the provinces wrested
from Germany long ago by a Bourbon mon
arch. It would be, too, a fitting conclusion
to the long course of Napoleonic attempts to
add German territory to France, if the pres
ent Emperor should not only fail in rectify
ing the frontier on tho northwest by an
extension of French dominion to the Rhine,
but also bo forced to surrender the accessions
of his predecessors. Such a sequel would make
Napoleon the laughing-stock of Europe; and
we do not wonder at his reported determi
nation, under the pressure of this danger, to
seek death or victory rather than return dis
graced to Paris. As matters are now pro
gressing, the Germans will soon be in a
position to insist that the provinces they
covet shall be given up as indemnity for the
past and security for the future. Some en
thusiastic Prussians think they will also de
mand, if they continue to be victorious, a
portion of the fleet sent to destroy their sea
port towns and ravage their coast, which is
now anchored at Copenhagen; but one or
the other of these exactions, if not both,
will certainly be made unless the tide of bat
tle is speedily changed.
Of all the nations in tho world France is
the least likely to bear with equanimity such
mortifications. A display of her temper was
made in tho French Chambers yesterday
when the Ministry which lately boasted a
triumphant majority was rebu'ied and forced
to resign. But as the new system of consti
tutional government is a late invention, in
which the people have no real confidence,
and as it is well understood that the ejected
ministers acted as the mere puppets of their
imperial master, how long will the public
demand for the expulsion of the real
author of French woes be appeased by tho
sacrifice of a few of his subservient agents?
Napoleon has enjoyed the sweets of personal
government, and he must now face its perils.
For the terrible mistakes which have been
made, and the terrible dangers and disasters
which threaten the nation, he mainly, if not
solely, is responsible; and if the French
character has not been wonderfully changed,
they will hold him and his dynasty to a strict
accountability.
The new Minister, General L'alikao, is one
of the veterans of France, who boasts of long
and gallant service in her armies, but even if
he possessed marvellous administrative talent,
his atroost energies would be tasked in the
rescue of the tottering dynasty which has
done so much to injure France and to destroy
itself. The man who wrote the bulletin
about "Louis and I," the vain woman who
talked to Frenchmen of putting herself in the
forefront of danger, and their whole suite of
servile supporters, have exhausted, by their
audacious absurdities and tragical blunders,
the patience of a proud and suffering people,
and it is high time that they should give way
for rulers endowed with better sense and
belter principles.
STORM SIGNALS.
Mlteokoloot, as a science, may almos be
said to be in its infancy, and scarcely an effort
has yet been made to organize a regular ob
servatory system upon such a scale as will be
likely to yield practical results of any great
importance. Covered as the country now is
with a network of telegraph linos, facilities
are afforded for the instant transmission of
meteorologio intelligence between the moat
distant points, and it is possible to inaugurate
observations and experiments that a few years
ago would scarcely have been thought of.
Tue movement now being made for the
establishment of a regular storm signal
corps under the direction of the War Depart
ment is a measure of practical utility that
cannot fail to produce important results in
the immediate future. The observations in
various sections of tho country, if properly
recorded and compared, will lead to a
far better understanding than we now have
of the atmospherio laws, and will enable
weather changes to be predicted with such an'
approximation to certainty that preparations
for them can I made both upon the
sen and land. Hitherto the weather pro
phets hve either been crack-brained
enthusiasts er charlatans, and, . aa is
always the case, genuine scientific experiment
and research are heralded by a good deal of
humbug. It is obvious, However, that the at
mospheric laws may be studied with aa reason
able assurance of success as any of the other
laws of nature, and the observations and con
clusions of a well-organized corps under the
direction of scientific men will command the
confidence of the public and will undoubtedly
be able to add vastly to our btore of prac
tical knowledge.
It is announced that by direction of the
Secretary of War the chief signal officer of
the army will enlist a number of suitable per
sons, to be appointed non-commissioned
officers in the army, who will be employed
in tho duty of observing and reporting
storms by telegraph upon the northern lakes
and the seaboard. As an inducement for young
men to engage in this service, it is repre
sented that the duties will be easy and plea
sant, and that fine opportunities will be
afforded to persons of good educa
tion to perfect themselves in various
branches of knowledge or to study profes
sions. If it is desired to bring this signal
corps to the highest state of efficiency, we
doubt whether the War Department is goiDg
exactly the right way about it. The position
of a non-oommissioned officer in the army is
not an eminently desirable one for a man of
education and culture, and nnless really com
petent men are employed there is scarcely
any use in undertaking the work at all. The
pay of non-commisaioned officers in the army
is very small, and in comparison with the
regular commissioned officers they have no
social position whatever. Except the oppor
tunity for study, which is prominently held
out as a temptation, there appears to
be really little inducement for well
educated persons to enlist in this
signal corps, except temporarily. To make
the proposed f-ystem of observations of real
and permanent value, there should be an
effort to obtain a body of well-trained scien
tific men who will take sufficient interest in
the work to devote themsolves to it perma
nently. Properly educated young men can
be hnrl in abundance if reasonable induce
ments a i: held out, and if they can feel sure
of retaining positions worth having during
life or good behavior. Permanence is really
the greatest consideration in a case of this
kind, and many persons would take a position
at a very moderate salary if assured that it
could be retained as long as desired, who
would refuse to enlist for a term of years.
It is worthy of consideration whether some
such system as that which has worked so well
in the coast-survey service might not be
adopted in this instance; but whatever mea
sures may be taken to get a series of storm
signal stations into operation, the idea is
really one of great value and importance, and
the officers who are endeavoring to put it
into practice are entitled to the heartiest
praise and encouragement.
STA1E POLITICS.
As we predicted in these columns some weeks
ago, the Democracy of Cumberland county
have discarded Hon. Ilichard J. Ilaldeman
by a decisive vote, and thus limited his pub
lic career to one term in Congress. He was
nominated two years ago, after a desperate
contest, over Hon. John B. Bratton, and, ac
cording to party usage, would have been re
nominated without a serious struggle; but he
became the near relation of Senator Cameron
by marriage, and the staggering load of
Cameron's friendship utterly crushed him out.
In a large poll Ilaldeman is third on the
list, and received hardly one-fourth of the
Democratic votes cast, Mr. Bratton leading
him largely, and carrying off the nomination.
Mr. Cameron has one otfcer son-in-law who
was ambitious for Congressional honors.
The good people of Chester county were will
ing enough to promote McVeagh, but they
were obstinately unwilling to transfer the
political control of their district to Mr. Came
ron, and McVeagh was defeated four to one.
Being unable to get honors at home, Presi
dent Grant made him Minister to Turkey, at
Cameron's solicitation. Then the other son-in-law
was in Congress, but his new political
relations made the Democracy discard him,and
now another wounded lamb of the Cameron
flock muBt be provided for. We admonished
the President long ago not to part with all his
second-class missions, as one would be needed
for Mr. Ilaldeman as soon as his constituents
could express themselves; and the time has
now come. The brilliant young member
from Cumberland has been cut off in the
very flower of his youth because his obstinate
constituents do not believe in selling out
their interests to Mr. Cameron, and he is
compelled to retire when the flush of victory
had scarcely paled on his brow. He
must have an appointment, and as foreign
an appointment as possible, so that he can
have no inquisitive and distrustful people to
look into his pedigree and family connec
tions. True, he is a sort of a Democrat, but
he will soon learn the Cameronian policy of
accepting office from any party, and yielding
support to those who pay best. We trust
that the President will not delay the appoint
ment long. It must, be done, of course.
Cameron may be indifferent about it, but
Senator Scott will probably especially demand
it, and since it cannot be avoided, " 'twere
well it were done quickly!" From the vote
of Cumberland county, we feel fully warranted
in saying that Mr. Ilaldeman would go abroad
with the joyful approval of bis immediate
country men.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE POPE.
The poor old Pope, having been deserted by
Napoleon, has fallen back on God fcr protec
tion, and he has uttered the wish that he may
never see French troops aain. The Emperor
has quite as much as he can well attend to
jubt at present te protect himself, and he
sadly needs all the troops he can obtain to
deftud himself against tho terrible Prussians
who have persisted in imagining that this
was a real war, and not a aort of dress parade
for the personal glorification of "Louis and I."
The choice of protection which his Holiness
has been compelled to make ought to be a
fortunate one for himself, for it would
certainly be a more edifying sight for
the Christian world to behold the head of the
Church sustained by the arm of the Lord
rather than by French bayonets. That the
Tope, however, is not altogether resigned to
circumstances, and that he is not a little
frightened at the situation; is evident from
bis piteous appeal a few days ago to the
Empress to allow him just one ship
to keep in ' awe the Garibaldians who are
watching for the moment when they can
spring upon Borne and annihilate the last
remnant of the temporal power of the papacy.
It is impossible not to pity the position of
the infirm old man who but a few weeks
ago had the pleasure of declaring him
self the infallible representative of Gol
npon earth, and who. almost before he had
time to announce the dogma from the C hair
of St. Peter, finds it necessary to think about
packing up a change of linen and seeking
personal security somewhere else than in the
Eternal City. A wiser man than Pius IK has
said "Pride goeth before destruction and a
haughty spirit before a fall." and the truth of
the saying is now being very plainly exempli
fied both in the case of the Pope and that
"eldest son of the Church," whose soldiers
alone rendered it possible for such an insult
to the intelligence of the age as the dogma of
infallibility to be promulgated in silly osten
tation by the last and feeblest of the successors
of St. Peter.
It is curious how circumstances alter cases.
A few days ago the excitement in Eugland
was chiefly about the designs of France upon
Belgium, and although the Emperor made
haste to deny that he had any intentions of
absorbing the little kingdom which England
has taken under her protection, it
scarcely needs a demonstration to prove
that Belgium was one of the chief prizes
which it was hoped the defeat of Prussia
would enable France to seize. If the non
intervention of England could be secured
until after the Prussians were thoroughly
thrashed, the occupation of Belgium could be
made in defiance of England. As
matters have turned out. however, the
Prussians have not waited for the French
to thrash them, but they have met the enemy
more than half way and inflicted the most
damaging defeat that French arms have sus
tained since Waterloo. In the midst of the
demoralization and panic caused by this un
expected disaster, the French find cause for
congratulation that the neutrality of Bel
gium erects a formidable barrier against the
advance of the Prussians. The official
journal considers it as a favorable sign that,
in addition to the good understanding be
tween France and Russia, Austria, Italy,
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, the northern
frontier of the empire is socured by England
insisting that the neutrality of Belgium shall
be respected. If the fortunes of war had
been different, the French Emperor, flushed
with victory, would very probably have con
sidered the position of England as hostile
to him, but in the midst of defeat consola
tion is found in the fact that British inter
vention has proved a blessing in disguise.
THE YELLOW FEVER.
A Letter from an Experienced I'hvalrlnn-Tlie
Contagion at the Lazaretto The NrreNslty
for Nu me at that Point Severe Stricture
Upon the Hoard of Health.
We publish below tho letter of an experienced
physician, a resident of Chester, with reference
to the deaths from yellow fever at the Laza
retto, consequent upon the arrival of the vessel
Home from Kingston, Jamaica. While we ask
for it a careful perusal, it is necessary to state
that there is no occasion for any alarm among
our citizens, as the presence of the contagion
at the Lazaretto at this season is no unusual
circumstance. For years back there have been
more or less deaths from the fever at this time
of the year. In 1809 there were six cases taken
from one vessel, all of which proved fatal. The
health authorities say they have taken the matter
in band, and believe that they have adopted all the
proper precautionary measures in order to pre
vent the epidemic spreading. The facts con
tained in the accompanying communication
show how important it is- for the Board of
Health to keep the people posted in all their
movements with reference to the visitation of
this frightful epidemic:
To the Editor of The Evening Telerraph.
Cbkstkr, Pa., Aug. 10, 1970.
Dear Sir: I wish to make to tne public, through
the columns of your paper, a statement respecting
the yellow ever now existing at the Lazaretto.
Mr. Jacob Pepper, a resident of Tinlcum, living
just outside the bounds or the Lazaretto, beiug sick,
and the yellow (ever having been brought to quaran
tine by a vessel from the Y est Indies, still lying In
the river opposite his residence, his friends requested
mo to see him professionally, knowing that I bad
practised several years la Louisiana, where that
disease was of frequent occurrence.
I saw Mr. Pepper last Sunday morning half an
hour before be died, and unhesitatingly pronounced
his case one of yellow fever. In the same family hU
wife's sister was then, ami still Is, sick of the same
disease. I visited the Lazaretto twice a day since
and have seen Dr. Thompson, -the Lazaretto physi
cian, and his wife and daughter, all of whom are
dangerously sick of yellow fever. On Monday I
found Mr. Robert (iartslde, the Quarantine Master,
in the tirst stage of yellow fever.
Dr. Thompson's family has no nurse except a lady
friend who volunteered her assistance before she
knew It was yellow fever. His brother, who is also
a physician, has medical charge of the family. Mr.
(iartside has no nurse except his wife and daughter,
both of whom are, by their relations to the paiieut,
and by their anxiety and alarm, uulitted to perform
the highly Important duties of nurse In yellow fever.
The Board of Health has not furnished any nurse for
these ortlcials, who have been stricken down In the
performance of their duty, nor have they even been
supplied with Ice In suitlcient quantity and the
many other things necessary In such cases. Be
lieving that the Importance of these facts In
their relation to the health and safety of the citizens
of Philadelphia were not duly appreciated by iiiose
who are elected to the guardianship of the city s
health, and fully understanding the Importance of
proper nursing, under medical direction, in the llrst
few daya of this dangerous disease, 1 felt Impelled
to visit the board of Health, and did so at its meet
ing on Tuesday of this week, accompanied by Mr
AmosGartalde, a brother of the Quarautine Master
I t-ought an interview with the Board, but failed to
obtain It- One of the members came oat from the
meeting and said that the Board was controlled by
a few physicians, who did not like to be dictated to
by an outsider. After the meeting I had some con
versation with Drs. La Roche and Ward, wbe I be
lieve are members of the Board of Health, in
presence of several other memliers. Dr. La Hoc he
was imposing In his manners, and asked a few ques
tions that were not Intended to elicit information.
Dr. Ward Informed me that they were the conserva
tors o( the city's safety In this hour of danger, and
that tbey were competent to meet theexigeacy.
This would all have been very satisfactory If I had
not met these gentlemen a few days before at the
Lazaretto, where tbey both had to be convinced, by
evidence I there pointed out to them of symptoms
In the living and the appearance of tlie dead, before
they would believe thai t lie cases were yellow fever
.at all. I have ao disposition to alarm the people of
Philadelphia and of ('Hester by magnifying their dan
ger, but a full knowledge of all the farts cannot be
otherwise than useful. It will point to the means
necessary to sarety and will allay that alarm
which la always felt when Imagination takes
ine place of knowledge. There have been aboat
twenty cases of yellow fever, thirteen of which have
proved fatal, and not more than two or three of the
remainder are out of danger. The mortality may
safely be estimated at seventy-five per cent. In
New Orleans thirteen per cent. Is the largest I ever
knew, and ten per cent. Is about the average mor
tality there. This fearful state of affairs certainly
demand prompt and derided action on the part of
the Board of Health. The hesitating policy which
has delayed action In the taking of proper measures
to prevent the spreading of the disease lnt the
country along the rlvpr shore will not keep It out of
Philadelphia, where the same rate of mortality will
destroy tens of thousands of Uvea.
Very respectfully, Wm, B. UlatcH, M. D.
A gentleman who appears to have suffered
much from umbrella thieves has discovered a
plan for protecting himself. He purchased an
old-fashioned blue cotton umbrella sotno time
since, broke two of the ribs, and cut off six
inches from the handle. On a recent visit to a
hotel he left his "apparatus," as ho calls it, in
the public hall, and was not in tho least sur
prised to find it in the same place when leaving.
Some of Rev. Mr. Cormitfs flock at Mid
dletown, N. Y., having determined that they
should be no longer compelled to listen to his
teachings, broke open the ckurch on Sunday
last, and passed resolutions to that effect. A
new clergyman has been called to fill Mr. Cor
mitfs pulpit, but the friends of tho latter will
not permit him to preach. Serious consequences
are untieiuitrd.
Three young ladles of Wisconsin, in imita
tion of their sex in the East, started on a foot
tace with a pig last week. The Belolt Register,
in describing the event, excuses the success of
the hog in the following manner: 'Owlne to
the equatorial heatness, the member of the
fwlne persuasion came out a few feet ahead, and
thereby managed to save bis bacon."
The ladies of Iowa are making wonderful
strides towards the attainment of woman's
rights. The last movement of importance we
find recorded in the newspapers of that Slate is
headed by a spirited Dubuque girl, who has
commenced an action against her mother for
oral slander. ''Westward the star of empire
takes its way."
