FRANCE AROUSED.
from the if. F. Tribune.
' The banks -of the Moselle no longer de
mand our first attention the. interest of
Europe centres on the banks of the Seine.
AU France ia in uproar, and Faria revola-
tirnnrv
a ireacn levy en masse is a terriDie ana n
dangerous thing. Men now from one end of
Franee to the other are rushing together,
clamoring for arms and leaders, chanting the
Marseillaise, and shouting "Aoatla 1'russef"
A real enthusiasm for war has seized upon the
whole nation. There ia no doubt that the
Government, if it had means of. transporta
tion and subsistence, might to-day throw
upon the Prussian lines almost every
Frenchman capable of. bearing arms,
and these men would fight to the death to
drive back the hated invader. , But a
populace in arms is not an army. A large
proportion of the new levies are doubtless
men who have served already in the army or
the National Guard, and could soon be made
effective soldiers. We are told, also, that the
French are a people of military tastes, which
is quite true; yet the average French peasant,
before he has been made over by drilling
and discipline, is one of the most unmartial
creatores in the world. A long stay in camp
or barracks is necessary to fit him far the
field. So if the full strength of the empire
ia now called forth, only a small part of it
will be immediately available at the front.
- Tl , 1 1 . . t 1 1
On the other hand, a levy of thia kind, if
not immediately formidable to the enemy; is
'very apt to be formidable to its own com
manders. The patriotic enthusiasm kindled
by disaster does not readily brook delay, and
the French populace, in their present temper,
if not led at once against the Prussians, will
be apt to turn their arms against the Govern
ment that has got them into trouble. They
are not satisfied ' to enlist quietly and go
where the generals want to have them. They
insist upon taking the reins into their own
bands, and declare that in a crisis like this
every citizen mst be "armed and ready."
It is easy to see what this means. If another
victory should be won by the Prussians, those
arms would never again be under the com
mand of Napoleon. The soldiers would over
turn the throne for the sake of saving the
country. The events of last week have
shaken the dynasty almost to its fall, and
we see little probability that Napoleon will
recover the prestige he has lost. Ilia ineffi
ciency as a commander, which military men
knew well enough before, has now been
manifested to everybody. If his fortunes
should be retrieved by a victory at Metz, the
credit will not belong to him and will not be
given him. . Perhaps in the course of the
campaign some great military genius may
arise among the French host, as a great mili
tary genius arose in the last century among
the hosts of revolutionary France, and the
people, after marching to victory under him,
may place him at the head of the nation. But
. the sick man who lies Buffering and beaten
at Chalons will never again enkindle their
ardor. It is not for him that France has
arisen.
It may soon prove, indeed, that it is against
him France has arisen. The French Chamber
votes a want of confidence in his Ministry.'
The Ministry, in turn, does what it can to
' allay the rising storm, by ignoring alike Em
peror and Regent. Appeals to Paris are
officially promulgated, which implore that
there be no rising, on the avowed ground
that it would place the French army between
two fires. And all this we learn over wires
guarded with the most jealous surveillance,
by what is left of the French Government !
When the official censorship permits so much
to be known, as the best face it can put on
affairs, what must be the worst ? That
Napoleon is not expected ever to enter Paris
again cornea to na in a despatch from one of
our correspondents there, and the prediction
seems an easy one. That the Empress is
preparing for flight is a rumor no longer hard
to believe. Paris seems trembling on the
. verge of revolution. "
OUR SEA-COAST DEFENSES.
, From the H. T, Time.
i In a country with such an extent of - sea
; coast as ours, especially one that contains so
' many important maritime towns, a complete
' and continuous system of fortification . is
' necessary for. protection from naval attacks
; in case of war. Accordingly we find running
all along the coast, from Maine to Florida,
and from the lower peninsula of California to
' Alaska, a system of f orta more or lesa f ojr
: toidable, according to the size and import
ance of the point to be protected. There are
in and about the harbor of New York, the
most important point on the line, nine or ten
-fortifications and 'detached works, some of
them still in the process of construction,
. which, when all are completed, will make the
, city as nearly secure from attacks by a hostile
fleet as is practicable. These forts, and Our
; sea-coast defenses generally, being intended
as permanent works, are built of solid ma
sonry. Many of them, however, are flanked
and reinforced with detached works and
. water batteries, where earth ia mainly relied
upon to stop hostile shot, thus to a great
extent combining the advantages of earth and
, masonry.
Before the Rebellion, Floyd, the then See-
retary of Wax, sent as many heavy guns as
possible to tne boutn, so tnat at the outbreak
of hostilities many of the larger Northern
' forts were almost entirely without ordnanoe.
; Fort Schuyler, near Throgg's Neck, for in
stance, had then scarcely a dozen ia position.
- The entrance to our harbor in that direction.
' however, ia now proteoted by two extensive
works the second on WiUet's Point and
this advance in the work of sea-coast defense
may be taken as a sample of what is doing
elsewhere, ice corps oi engineers to whom
the charge of all our fortifications is In
trusted is composed of the ablest scientitio
officers of the army, who are fully equal to
the requirements of their position.
The introduction of heavy ordnance, and
, the experiences of the Rebellion, have done
so much to alter the ideas of military men on
( the subject of fortification, that it is ioipos
Bible to see what will be their ultimate result.
The experiments which have been made at
Fortress Monroe and tort Delaware here,
and at bboeburyness in England, with iron
clad casemates and . stout iron shields, tend
to show the inadequacy of our present
methods of construction, but they do not
furnish data enough to indicate the best sub
stitute.. Our fortifications have all been built
in conformity with what were considered the
test military models at the time of their
erection, and our engineers are alive to the
importance of obtaining all the light which
additional experiments may throw on the
nulict. A board of distinguished
t4.gu.eer officers is now in Europe to examine
the best military works of the Continent,
and to obtain from them any valuable hints
they may offer. ' The breaking out of the war
between France and Prussia will probably
facilitate the work of these officers. Even
though engineers express grave doubts as to
the power of masonry works to resist the
assaults of modern artillery, still, when we
remember how long Fort Sumter withstood
the attacks of our iron-dads, after all ita
walla seemed crumbling to ruins, we shall not
be inclined to lose all faith in granite walls,
even should they be without shelds of iron.
A work which Served to keep back such
vessels as we had before Charleston would
seem to be of , decided practical value,
although in the eye of military soience it may
be but a dismantled wreck.
. While in the matter of construction there
is still some uncertainty, we are on a much
better footing as regards heavy artillery for
the armament of forts. Our system of heavy
ordnanoe is as perfect as that of any other
country, and we lead the world in the con
struction of pieces of large calibre. At Fort
Hamilton there is a battery of fifteen-inch
guns, and also one monster twenty-inch,
which, we are assured, can throw a heavier
weight of metal to a greater distance than
any similar number of gnns, not of the same
make, anywhere else on the face of the globe.
A change seems likely to be' made in the
common system of barbette mounting
that is, firing over an earthen parapet for
heavy guns at least, by the substitution
of a carriage which will admit of the depres
sion of the gun for loading. It is a laborious
process to load a large gun, and if the can
noneer is exposed to the enemy's fire while so
engaged, the result is a damaging loss of
gunners. To obviate this difficulty, the
English have adopted the Moncrieff carriage,
and as this subject is 'now being studied
here, we may hope shortly to be able to nave
a system of barbette mounting for heavy
guns suited to the peculiar needs of our
forts and coast. Enough, however, has been
said to show that we have a good system of
sea-coast defense, and that the officers having
this matter in charge are constantly engaged
in constructing, improving, and strengthen
ing the works that have already been begun.
NAPOLEON'S UNLUCKY DELAYS.
From the N. Y. Herald.
In the beginning of our own eivil war we
had a great many theories. Generals who
knew just how to quell the Rebellion in three
weeks or ninety days, and would need only
seventy-five thousand men and a few dozen
cannon for the purpose, were as plentiful as
blackberries. All these theories were dis
cussed and digested, and consequently caused
delay, and in war delay is ruin. We had
another class of persons who dreaded that
every weak point of our army had was known
to the enemy, that our exact force was a mat
ter of certain knowledge in the opposing camp,
and that every movement we might contem
plate was faithfully noted on the enemy's
chart. It was not until General Grant made
his first brilliant successes that we compre
hended that we might be as strong as the
enemy. When he moved immediately on the
enemy's works at Fort Donelson and captured
an army of prisoners, there was a general feel
ing that he had made a blindly reckless dash'
and by the mercy of Providence had suc
ceeded. When he struck into the enemy s
country behind Yicksburg many good people
thought be was as good as swallowed up by
the fierce hordes of Southrons that would fall
upon him. But when he took Yicksburg and
took another army with it, then people com
prehended that General Grant was a general
t m a V. a ?
wno meant Dusmess, mat ne Knew nis own
strength and found out as nearly as possible
his enemy's, and that he did not terrify him
self with the belief that the enemy knew more'
or was able to do more than he. lie was never
guilty of vacillation or delay. He struck as
soon as he was ready, and he got ready as soon
as he could. ,
Napoleon's great mistake in the present
campaign lay in his vacillation and delay. It
was his purpose to invade Prussia, and at tne
first enthusiastic uprising of the French army
"On to Berlin was the demand. There was
necessity for delay. The French army was,
lit least, much readier for the battle than the
Prussians; but the demon of vacillation seized
Napoleon. It may have been that he feared
the war would be over too soon for political
effect if he crushed out the Prussians at once,
just as some of our ninety day prophets pre
dicted in our civil war. Or it may be that he
dreaded bis own weak points, and believed, as
some of our earlier generals believed, that the
enemy knew all about them. So he delayed
and waited to strengthen his army when he
should have been striking with it across South
Germany for Berlin with the speed and energy
of the first Napoleon sixty-four years ago.
Such a rapid movement might have served to
divide to some extent the sentiment of the
South Germans, and it would certainly have
had the advantage of taking the Prussian,
army, still unready, on its ' own soil. But
there came vacillation and delay pa his part
and steady concentration on the part of
Prussia. The result is that where Napoleon
should have, invaded Prussia United
Germany invades France; where he should
have Btruck an almost unorganized army of
Prussia he falls upon a solid wall of united
German bayonets; where he and Louis should
have been long ago in Berlin, "our Fritz" and
old King Wilhelm and the whole German
family seem determined to summer in Paris.
WHY NOT, MR. GREELEY? 1
From. IU JT. T. World.
The Tribune censures us for permitting
our Richmond correspondent to set forth the
reasons why the Conservative candidate for
Congress from the Eighth Virginia Distriot,
just nominated, is popular with his supporters
and likely to be elected. The candidate in
question, General William Terry, of Abing
don, is not very well known to the Northern
public, and our correspondent very properly
gave a succinct sketch of hia history. The
part of the recital to which the Tribune takes
exception relates to General Terry's career as
an officer in the Confederate army. He was
such an officer, a trusted and energetio one;
and the World sees no good reason why it
should have been expected to withhold that
fact from its readers. - Nay, more; the World
sees no reason wny that fact should be au
impediment to General Terry's election. It
does not appear that there is anything in hia
history in consequence of which he would
be excluded from his seat by the proscriptive
Bection of the fourteenth amendment. Hia
constituents may therefore as freely choose
him as any other citizen residing in the dis
trict. His efficiency and rapid promotion as
a Confederate officer prove him to be a man
of energy and capacity, and may properly
enter into the question of his quaiiiioationa,
By the fourteenth amendment every man
in the couth who has had - any civil experi
ence is excluded from Congress. The South
is therefore compelled to Belect new men for
its representatives, and unless it catches up
obscure nobodies and takes them on trust, its
raBge of selection is very narrow, being oon
fined to persons whose only opportunity to
acquire distinction and make their abilitia
and public ppirit known wa furnished by the
late war.- Conspicuous service in the Confe
derate army supplies the means of judging of
man's honesty, fidelity to associates, zeal in
a public cause, talents, and force of character;
and surely the Tribune cannot think that
these are ' qualities to be disregarded
in ' the choice' of f Congressmen. The
whole Southern, people . supported the
Rebellion, and soldiers who exposed their
lives foe it are more respectable than sneaks
who stayed at home. If praying Stonewall
Jackson were living, he would make a fitter
member of Congress than praying Whitte
more and bis like, who have been foisted into
seats which they have disgraced. If every
Southern member were a Confederate ex
general, there ia no man of intelligence who
would not think it a great improvement on
the present Southern delegation in Congress,
made up as it is of adventurers without char
acter, antecedents, social connections with
the Southern people, or even common hon
esty or decency. Why not, Mr. Greeley,
sweep away all proscriptive barriers and allow
the South to be represented by its strongest
and most experienced men ?
THE POPE AND THE WAR.
From the Providence Jortrrxal. , .
The European war has brought unexpected
trouble to the Pope at the very moment of hia
triumph as the Head of the Church. The
Emperor of France is withdrawing hia troops
from Rome for service on the Rhine. They
are already beginning to embark at Civita
Vecchia, and soon not a soldier of France will
be left in the States of the Church. Thia has
been repeatedly threatened before, but the
Pope felt confident that nothing but some
emergency of the future would lead to the
fulfillment of the threat. It is nearly twenty
years since Louis Napoleon sent his regi
ments to Rome to bring back the Pope,
who had been driven away by the republicans.
It was soon evident, however, that to bring
back the Pope would be of little avail unless
he could be kept in the seat to which he
bad been restored a result which was then
deemed in Europe almost essential, not only
to the Papal supremacy, but even to the pre
servation of Christendom. For this pioua
purpose the Emperor of France has con
tinued his soldiers in the Roman territory
from that day to the present. To them has
his Holiness been indebted not only for the
little quiet he has enjoyed, but also for the
ability to live in Rome at all and to sit in the
ancient seat of St. Peter. Without their
bayonets bristling at every stronghold in hia
territory, his temporal power would long ago
have been wrested from him, either by his
own subjects or by the King of. Italy, whom
he excommunicated for his unyielding hos
tility to the 1'apal supremacy.
But now the long-dreaded hour has come.
The Pope is to be left alone in his dominions,
and these dominions have been reduced by the
disaffection of their population to dimensions
far narrower than they were twenty years ago.
His guardian has bad a way, in nearly every
time of trouble, of submitting to the people
of the rebellious districts whether they would
continue subjects of the Pope or not. They
have, if we recollect aright, in every instance
voted in the negative. Thus has he been
compelled to surrender- all his provinces on
the Adriatic, and, indeed, in every part of
Italy, except in the city of Rome, and the
district between it and the Mediterranean.
All this he has been obliged to submit to
even while the Emperor of . Trance was
guaranteeing his temporal sovereignty and
protecting his person with the Imperial
troops. This protection ne is now no longer
to have. Even if the Emperor desired it,1
he could not continue to ocoupy Rome with
his soldiers. But there are many reasons for
believing that he . no longer cares much for
the Pope. He has been offended that the
Holy Father has so often refused his advice,
and especially that the dogma of . infallibility
was insisted on after France and Austria had
declared against it. He appears to be weary of
this endless task of keeping the Head of.
Christendom from the loss of his temporal
power. Indeed, if Louis Napoleon were not
a man of such ' conspicuous and unquestioned
piety, it might be suspected that he had
ceased to care anything , whatever either for
the Pope' or his Church, now that he can no
longer use them in the work of aggrandizing
France and strengthening the dynasty of
the Bonapartes. ..j
To the Pope, however, the withdrawal ' of
the French regiments is a serious affai?. It
makes bis future dubious and insecure. - His
position as the infallible head of the Church
will doubtless remain unaltered, but i the
question is, how is he to retain his capital
city or to exercise his functions as supreme
Pontiff in anyplace that is not his own? Now
that France has withdrawn her protection, he
must look to some other Roman Catholio
Eower for assistance. But Spain is unable to
elp him, and Austria has declared against
him on account of the infallibility dogma.
He can look to Italy alone; to that Italy
which regards Rome as her true historical
capital and means to possess it herself; to
that Italy whose king has been excommuni
cated for despoiling the Papacy of its terri
tories, 'and whose people, though Roman
Catholics, care not how soon the Pope is
stripped of his temporal power and compelled
to become merely a spiritual potentate,
i The Pope evidently comprehends the situ
ation, and however keenly, he may feel about
it, he ia disposed to make the best of it. He
has already made overtures for the friendship
of the Italian King, who, it is said, is ready to
guarantee his personal safety,' in Rome. It
may be doubted whether he can guarantee
more than this. It may be that this is all
that the present Pope ia his extreme old age
will care to ask. When he passes away, aa
he soon must, the future of the Papacy, as a
temporal power, must depend on the party
which may prevail in the election of a sue
eessor. .Should Louis Napoleon succeed in
placing his Cardinal eousin in the Pontifical
chair, he will doubtless send back his soldiers
to Rome, and again become responsible for
the temporal sovereignty of the Pope in the
city of . the apostles. If, howevert some
other successor should be chosen, that suc
cessor, whoever he may ., be, must . expect
troublous times in governing the States of
the Church, and he may very likely 1 be
obliged to find for himself another house than
that which his predecessors have so long had
on the banks of the Tiber. ' ' :
THE NEGRO IN MISSOURI POLITICS,
From the St. Louie iiepublkan, v t .
Missouri radicalism is afflicted, not with
negro on the brain, but with negro in the
belly. Negro suff rage in ita bowels is having
some effects that were not bargained for.
The patient has been attacked with griping
and contortions. It raves like a man in deli,
rium, and, in its abdominal agony, fills the
air with penitential confessions and self-condemnations.
It admits what it has hereto
fore denied, and denies what it has heretofore
asserted. It tears its hair, beats its breast.
and stabs itself with the weapon it has used
to stab its enemies. 1 It makes out a clear
case agtioRt itself, and leaves on the minds
of all who listen to its accusatory ravings the
impression that if ever a political
parly ' deserved to be hanged, and ? if
a political party could be hanged,
the- dominant party in Missouri ought
to meet that fate. The recognized organ
of that party has the new malady
in the most malignant form. "According to
Messrs. Hilton, Jewett, and Filley," all mem
bers of .the Radical State Central Committee,
it tells us "121 negroes in St. Louis are en
titled to an much weight in convention as 147
white radicals;" Mand in the country 85 ne
groes get a delegate," while "in the city 147
white radicals get a delegate, and in the court
try 13G white ' radicals." But the disease
reaches its climax in' this exhaustive state
ment: "That is the final' decision of the
majority, that 85 country negroes, 121 city
negroes,' 138. country radicals, and 147 city
radicals are equal, and are each entitled to one
delegate."
. This is monstrous; the idea of making 85
negroes equal to 147 white radicals ia abso
lutely unendurable. It makes one negro
equal to one and three-quarters white radi
cals, or three-quarters over the recognized
radical standard. It gives to "fifty-one thou
sand radicals and negroes in the populous
counties only 308 delegates in conventions.
while less than fifty-one thousand radicals
and negroes in Btnaller counties can elect 423
delegates." The Democrat is not disposed to
submit to any such Africanization of its party;
nay, it is 1 psnlved that it will not submit to
it. Submission to minority rule is all very
well wnen exacted of "rebels and Demo
crats; but it will not do for "white
radicals." The Democrat therefore "calls
upon the honest radicals in all counties to
vote down this influence which seeks to defeat
enfranchisement through enabling a minority
of the party to force its opinion upon a ma
jority. . "It Is time to tell those men that
they have gone far enough;" "not content
with disfranchising white rebels, these Win.
chellizers now disfranchise white radicals;"
"white radicals in Missouri still have some
rights which disfranchise are bound to re
spect;" and "the time lias come te put down
the element which, confessing itself by this
outrage to be a minority, still seeks to foroe
its will upon the majority by such devices as
we have exposed.
It is a pathetio story, and we are not sur
prised that the leading organ loses its ancient
affection for the African, under the irritation
of the wrong and calls him a "negro" instead
of "our colored citizen; but,, alter all, it is
only a case in which the wioked have fallen
into the snare which they set for others. The
Radical chickens are coming home to roost.
These same "white Radical?," who make an
outcry about being subjected to the rule of a
minority in a party convention, have for five
years subjected an admitted majority of the
people of this State "by just such devices"
as they now complain of; and they declined
to modify their registry law last winter because
they had resolved to use it to disfranchise the
majority, with it, at one more election. It is
pretty hard, we admit, for "147 white Radi
cals to accept negroes as aa equal poll-
cal power with . themselves; but Secretary
Rodman and the radical registry superinten
dents know that there is a way of making
white men submit to unpleasant things. It
was the Democrat ' own partisans who sifted
the 3400 population of voting age in Boone
county down to less than one-third its num
ber of adult negroes. It was the registry law
made by the Democrats "white radicals that
permitted only 179 white men to vote for
Grant in looa in a county wnioh in l7(J stands
ready to cast some 800 negro votes for
McClurg: We commend to tne outraged
organ a diligent cultivation of that virtue
which Democrats have been forced to exhibit
In the last five years patience. We used to
think that white Democrats in Missouri "had
some rights which disfranchises were bound
to respect, but the Missouri Democrat,
Governor Fletcher, Monks, and Rodman
taught us that we were mistaken; and if
Governor McClurg and his negro friends
should now teach the "white radicals" the
some delightful lesson, the pupils would have
no right to complain.
