K THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH miLADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13,1870. oriuiT or inn rnnno. Editorial Opinion of the Leading Journals , upon Current Topic Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph HOW TO HEAD THE NEWS. From the Kevark Adverttitr. Now that every eye ia tamed toward the critical situation in France, and every tele gram is scanned with eager curiosity and sympathy with one or the other side, it is well to read news wisely and with some apprecia tion of the bias which is given to it by the Bonrce from whence it comes. In the first place, all despatches direct from Paris have been under the censorship and have been dictated in the interest of Louis Napoleon until night before last, when it suddenly be came so doubtful as to who was master that the full news of the exciting and dangerous condition of affairs was allowed to be for warded with very little modification. But only the New York Times kept open late enough to give the intelligence of the resig nation of the Ollivier ministry, and the ap- )ointment of the Count de l'alikao to succeed urn. And here let us say for the Times that in this crisis it has not allowed its reporters to become editors and to control the foreign Eolicy of the paper. If it has erred at all it as been in a too strict adherence to the let ter of the despatches and a too careful avoidance of any expression of opinion upon probabilities of events to come. It was only yesterday that.it indicated any bias editorially, and it is Bafe to concede the impartiality of whatever special news, aside from Associated Tress despatches, it may publish. The Tribune telegraphic correspondence, which is admirably full and graphic, suffers from the drawback of partisanship.. Its Lon don correspondent, Mr. Smalley, is a Red Republican, a liberal of the liberals, and all his despatches are colored by his views of European politics, in which he takes a lively interest. Much of the news he sends is colored by this feeling. It reminds us of the articles written to excuse a political defeat on the day after election, or equally of the exag- Seration of a victory. The Paris correspon ent, Clarence Cook, is more impartial, but his associations are of the same kind as Mr. Smalley 's, and he is more or less affeoted by them. Both these gentlemen become advo cates as well as reporters, but their telegrams, if jmdicially read, are of very high value. The Herald has not exhibited its usual enterprise in "specials," and uses only the Associated Press despatches, accompanying them with Bunsbyish editorial comments which are almost meaningless. The World shadows its advices with an unmistakable sympathy with the Emperor Napoleon, the naturaloutgrowth of American Democratic affiliation with Euro pear nbsolutism. As to the news from Prus sian sources, it, like the French, is under Government censorship, but there is very little of it, and so far that little has proved to be reliable. It will be seen that in the main the Euro pean crisis is faithfully reported, and that it only requires a knowledge of the sources f rom'which it comes and the causes which may give it a bias, to form a very fair esti mate of what is really going on. One thing is certain. Tbe events in Paris and on the frontier are far more intelligibly recited here than in either the Paris, Berlin, or London press. The two latter are muzzled; the latter has never learned the use of the telegraph. Our own European despatches, reaching us every afternoon, are far more copious than the entire telegraphic column of the London Times, and the most active and thorough news agencies in London are in the employ of the American press. The London Times, as now conducted, could not maintain a de cent oirculation in any leading city on this continent. It is too slow with its news and too ponderous in its comments thereon. It is in effect a compilation of political essays, auXy drawn in Johnsonian rhetoric but al ways lingering behind the march of events and criticizing that which has passed rather than shrewdly anticipating that which is to come. It is a safer policy, provided you have a Blow people to address. . The fault of American journalism lies in Hie other direction. It is apt to be hasty in generalization and too prolifio of prophecy, and indulges too little in careful and intelli gent essays upon the topics of the day. The reporter, rather than the writer, magnifies his office. He "interviews" all notabilities, whether statesmen or criminals, and too fre quently sacrifices the truth for the sake of a brilliant description. Much of the tone of the general publio sentiment ia given by the style rather than the facts of a report, and often,' in case of crime, the cause of justice is prejudiced. The Nathan murder is a fresh instance of this. The reporters, drawing upon their imagination for their facts, have bewildered the whole investigation, besides inflicting a grievous wrong upon the family of the murdered man. I Here is wide room for reform in this respect, but the tendency is in the other direction. We do not expect. of course, that the lower class of journals will abstain from calumny and smut, but those which are supposed to lie upon the parlor tables of good men s bouses may with out great difficulty give all the news without on ending the moral sense of the people. What should be done is to reduce reporting to its legitimate province of procuring and tersely stating tacts, leaving to calmer nours and less hurried minds the task of their inter pretation. THE PHILADELPHIA TOST" IN BAD COMPANY. From the Wilmington IDel), Commercial We fear that the Philadelphia Morning Pott is so unfortunate as to have William B. Thomas for a stockholder. If it be so as we Lear it said we trust bis shares can be tromrtl v bought out bv some straichtforwArd Republican, and true friend of the Pott, bo that the paper may be at once released from every obligation whatever to so much as treat calmly the sedition which Thomas ia trying to foment in the Republican party of Philadelphia, far less to assist its progress. The J'dt has been an independent, honorable newspaper, thanks to the high-minded im pulses of its editor, Mr. Stockton, and though it lea a revolt against uoionei alarm a con trol of the party in Philadelphia, that was a breach of discipline promptly condoned by even the most rigid observer of the rules. But th attack on Judge Kelley, and the cbampioiibbip of Thomas, in which, we most fcincexeiy regret to seo, it baa now engaged. are without a shadow of the justification that could be pleaded In the Mann case, and we are sure that three-fourths of the earnest, think inc. radical Republicans who have constituted tie Pokt'h readers will utterly disapprove this most unfortunate step. Indeed, the offense baa a triple shape. As a choice between the men, in their fitness for service in Congress, there is a heavy orepon derance for Judge Kelley; in a choice be tween a regular Republican candidate, nomi nated by a two to one vote, in a most com puiLentary manner, and an "independent" Bchismalio, surely no Republican newspaper ought to choose the latter; while, in the third test, the past fidelity of the Post to the prin- ninlo nf nrnlAntinn nhnnlrl forbid it to hennrna v.f'.w v . 2" vvv- I a party to the infamous sohemes of - the so- 1 called "Revenue Keiormers, wnose secret conclave at Washington resolved to defeat at the elections, fairly or unfairly, the promi nent protectionists now in the House. The subtle but evident leaning of Mr. Thomas to free trade theories, the manner of hia ap pearance as a candidate, the character of his supporters, the tenor of his speeches, all show him to be one of the conspirators in the "Revenue Reform" plot. He will be re pudiated by the Fourth district, undoubtedly, and by a great majority, but the Morning Post ou'lit not to be his companion in dis grace. NUMBERS AND GENERALSHIP. From the X. T. Time. In the absence of commanding military genius, it may be safely assumed that num bers are almost certain in any given contest to carry the day. . It is asserted that the Prus sian forces, in the present campaign, have outnumbered the French on every important occasion when they have come into collision. To direct matters so that such a preponder ance in critical momenta and places should exist, may, of course, be declared to be a proof of the possession of high military ability, and so, no doubt, it is. But apart from skill in logistics or strategy, and assuming each combatant to bring into the field hia utmost available force, experience justifies the saying imputed to Napoleon I, tbat Providence tignts on tne Bide Having the strongest battalions. That great captain certainly tested tne trutn or bis maxim to his cost at Leipsic, where, acoording to the best authority tbat or (Jatucart tbe allies had 230,000 men and the French 1G0,000. At Koniggratz, again, the Prussians had 2."0,000 troops, the Austnans but 18;,01K). in the immediate neighborhood of the scene of the existing contact, tbe same results bave been repeatedly witnessed. At Lutzen the Prus sians had but 80,000 soldiers, while Boaa- parte opposed them with 120,000, and at Bautzen there was a similar disparity. It seems extraordinary tbat, after bavins been the first to declare war, the Emperor Napoleon should have been at fault in this supremely important particular. The French army, as enumerated by the official and un contradicted documents, is, or was, greater than that of Prussia, including all the various contingents. Paris is nearer the frontier than Berlin, and the system of railway con nections is in France, if anything, superior to tbat or uermany. in spite ot all tbis, and in spite of the tremendous character of the stake for which he fights, the Emperor ac tually appears to have been thus far over whelmed by superior numbers. The fact, it must be admitted, gives strong color to the statement, lately made, that in reality he did not wish to bring about this war, and that the people had, indeed, slipped out of his hands. If that representation is true, it is easy to see how, after the first bitter pang of mortified pride over their disap pointment, the French should ; feel more kindly towards the Emperor than they did immediately after their late .defeat. The theory tbat better generalship is to be cred ited to King William and his officers than to ineir opponents may render partially needless the hypothesis of unequal numbers. It may be that with equal numbers in each action tbe Prussians would stui bave been victorious. Be this as it may, the further they advance into France, and the longer they wait before striking afresh at the Em peror's army, the less likely they are to re tain, if tbey bave possessed it, tbe advantage of superior numerical force. A delay which should give an r ranee time to concentrate might make the Prussian campaign, so auspi ciously begun, result as disastrously as that of Napoleon in llussia. mere is scarcely a doubt, then, that another battle on a great scale is imminent; that the forces engaged on the French side will be relatively greater than they have hitherto been, and that the event will be likely, consequently, to show beyond dispute how far the previous victories have depended on superior generalship, and bow far on greater numbers. nONEST ELECTIONS. from the K. Y. Tribune. New York has not had an honest election for years. Tammany Hall having obtained control or tbe city, bos, year after year, put into operation its machinery of fraud, and by repeating, ballot-box Btumng, fraudulent naturalization, and false counting, set at naught the will of the people, perpetuated itself in power, robbed tbe city of millions, and governed it for private ends and indi vidual gain. Voting has become a farce; honest men have been driven from the polls and from every place of responsibility and trust under the municipal government, or they have seen their votes neutralized by ille gal ballots bought and paid for by the Demo cratic leaders. Nor is this fraud confined to city elections. Oovernor Hoffman holds his office to-day in opposition to the expressed will of the people of the State, and President Grant was cheated out of the electoral vote of New York by the same dishonest and illegal practices. But this is no new story; every body knows it to be true; the guilty men themselves do not deny it. Napoleon writes a plebiscitum, and, backed by 500,000 bayo nets, orders France to vote "Yes;" the result he calls "a popular expression of approba tion." Tweed and Sweeny make up a "slate," estimate the number of fraudulent votea needed, order them by the thousand; they are cost and counted, and Tammany Hall calls the farce "an election." The fatal defect in our State law against illegal voting is that its execution has been entrusted to the very men in whose interest it was broken. Arrests for repeating and illegal voting have been frequent at all recent elections, but the police have seen their prisoners discharged from custody by Tam many Judges as fast as they brought them in, and a preliminary examination, to say nothing of a trial or conviction, has been almost unheard of. But every abuse works its own remedy in the end. This wholesale cheating at elections has been carried so far that Congress finally took the matter in hand, and our election this fall will be held under the new law passed by that body during its last session. The "Act to enforce the right of citizens of the United Statea to vote in the several States of this Union, and for other purposes" ia composed of two parts. The first comprises the" appropriate legislation" authorized by the second section of the fifteenth amendment for its enforcement, and to this are appended five sections aimed directly at the frauds practiced in this city and vicinity. The . crimes enumerated in these Bections include attempting to register or vote in the name of another person, repeating, registering or voting anywhere exoept in the elector's own district, or without a lawful right, preventing in any way a qualified voter from register ing or voting, and interfering in any way with an oftioer of registration or election in the discharge of hia duty. The United States Courts are given jurisdiction over cases arising under this law, and the $r00 or imprisonment not exceeding three 4 TL n 41. a 1 ! yearn, or uoiu, ami tuo cohui oi prosot'uuuu.

JUSTICE TO LOUIS NAPOLEON AT LAST. From the K. Y. Sun. The swift downfall of the Bonapartes will teach the wholesome lesson that fraud and crime, whether in high or low places, is sure in the long run to be overtaken by punish ment. For the last twenty years the world has been forced to witness the humiliating spec tacle of an unscrupulous bad man directing the destinies of a great and noble nation, and aiming at universal supremacy. Counte nanced by Great Britain and other interested Eowers, Louis Napoleon knew no bound to is ambition. His wild fancy believed that he could make of Paris the centre of the modern world, and of himself its dictator. When the Rebellion broke out in the United States, this bold adventurer labored incessantly to destroy the UnioUj constantly urging upon England the recognition of the Confederacy, and hoping to convert the Gulf of Mexico into a French lake, with Louisiana and Texas as the new transatlantic acquisi tions of a Latin empire. The unfortunate and gifted Prince who served as the instru ment in this design was shot; his bereaved widow became Btark mad; the Bouaparte legions were driven in shame and ignominy from Mexico, as they have now been from Alsace; and the hero of Boulogne and Stras bourg, who now caps the climax of the ludi crous by threatening to let loose upon the crowned heads of Europe the pestilence of republican commotions, saw his prestige ex tinguished in the wicked attempt to destroy the only powerful republic on earth. As from the outset of hia career, the ridi culous is mixed up with the sublime in all his doiDgs to the very last. As he approaches his dissolution, the ridiculous seema to get the better of the sublime, and Don Quixote himself is eclipsed in the baptism of fire of the frince Imperial, and in the shrieks of agony of Eugenie as she anticipates the arri val of the Prussians at the gates of Paris. What would have been thought of Lincoln if, after our Bull Run, he had, like Eugenie, rent the air with cries of desperation, and filled the hearts of the people with dismay, giving place to revolutionary fury ? The fact ia that Louis Napoleon and Eugenie, and young Louis he of the bap tism of fire have trifled with France in war as in peace, aiming rather at melodramatic, theatrical effects than at solid blowa for the national welfare. The coup d'etat was fol lowed by a Brios of coup de theatre like the Crimean and Mexican, and finally the Prus sian wars, all intended to divert the attention of Frenchmen from their abject political condition, and to dazzle the impressible imagination of that enthusiastic people. The plebiscitum was another of these theatrical displays; but it revealed the implacable an tagonism of the enlightened classes against Bonapartism, and made it manifest to the Emperor that he was supported only by the benighted and unintelligent part of hia sub jects. Hence feeling himself most weak in the flush of victory, he was urged on to this last desperate adventure. The plebis citum was a moral Waterloo, goading him to despair; and he rushed to arms to recover in the clash of battle the prestige he had lost in the arena of polities'. The first result is the disastrous defeat at Hagenau; the last his abdioation and the exile from France of all the Bonapartes. It is satisfactory to remember that ever since 1851 Bonaparte has never coased on this side of the Atlantic to be held up to the scorn of mankind. Long before hia con spiracy against the integrity of the Union, American publicists branded him as a male factor, fitter for the gallows than for the throne; and while the English Parliament and preBs bowed before him in abject sub serviency, tbe trutb about mm was told in unmistakable terms by publio men and jour nalists of the republio he sought to destroy. It is remarkable, too, that the most truth loving of all races, the German, has been selected to castigate and lay low the great demoralizer and impostor of the age. Thus finally the justice of heaven is vindicated to men, and fraud and folly receive the punish ment that is their due. OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH CENTRAL AND SOUTn AMERICA. From, the N. Y. Herald. About the close of the last session of Con gress the Senate, on motion of Mr. Fenton, adopted a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for information as to the commercial relations between this country and the Spanish American States, and for his recommendations as to what ia necessary to promote and develop our commerce with those States. Senator Fen ton fctated, in connection with thia resolution, that the total foreign commerce of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1809, was $870,000,000 ; that of that amount $2 to', 000,000 was with thia Continent and adjacent islands, and that only $75,000,000 was with the coun tries known as the Spanish American Statea and Brazil, which eontain an aggregate popu lation of over thirty millions, and cover a territorial area of more than seven million square miles, being at the rate of two dollars and a half per capita. At the same time our trade with Cuba, having a population not ex ceeding a million and a half, was about seventy-eight million dollars, or over fifty dollars jercap'ta. In reply to the resolution of inquiry Mr. Fish submitted, on the 14th of July, a long and very able document, a copy of which has been forwarded to us by our Washington cor respondent. The secretary thinks that if the commerce of those countries bus been di verted from its natural connection with the United States, the fact may be partly traced to political causes, prominent among whioh he cites the pro-slavery policy of the Ameri can Government up to 1801, "which lost the opportunity of giviog a permanent direotion to the political and commercial connections of the newly-enfranchised Spanish-American States, and their trade passed into hands un friendly to the United States, and has re xnsincd there ever sinoe." Mr. Fish, how ever, ia of opinion that "events subsequent to tLat date have tended to place us ia a po&ilion to retrieve our mistakes, among which events may be particularly named the suppression of the Rebellion, the manifestation of our undeveloped and unexpected military power, the retire ment of the French from Mexico, and the abolition of slavery La the United States." Mr. Fifth then alludes to Cuba, and remarks that "whatever may be the result of the E ending contest in Cuba, it appears to be the elief of the leading statesmen of Spain that the relations which now exist between the island and the mother country cannot be long continued." He gives the value of imports from Cuba and Porto Rico for the year end ing June 30, 1800, aa $ G5,60!,274, while our exports to those islands amounted to only $ir,31U,l19, or less than one-fourth. The imports into the United States from the Cen tral and South American States for the same period were less than $25,000,000, and the exports to them less than $18,000,000, while the imports to Great Britain amounted to $42,820,S42, and the exporta from it to $40,082,102. Mr. Fish, with diplomatic politeness, attri butes this unfavorable exhibit of our trade partly to political causes, only putting for ward in a modest, unobtrusive sort of way what he is well aware is the true reason our high tariff system, which excludes South American wools and other products, and sends the trade to England. On that point he contents himself with saying, "The finan cial policy which the war made necessary may have operated injuriously upon our commerce with thtso Hates." That is tantamount to saying what we have just said. The way to restore and develop our trade with the South and Central American States, and with all other countries is to liberalize our commer cial system, reduce the tariff so as to be able to import foreign products and to export do mestic manufactures, cheapen ships and ship building materials, and give government patronage to lines of ocean steamers. By these means, and these alone, can our foreign trade and commerce be developed. A MODERN SAPPHO. From the A'. Y. World. Mr. Algernon Charles Swinburne is wanted in Chicago. No pen but that plume of rosy fire which painted the portentous passion of Faustine and of Anactoria could do justice to the extraordinary tale of love and woe re vealed in a Chicago police court a day or two ago. A damsel with sunlit locks and eyes of convergent flame, it seems, has followed the beauteous British blonde, Miss Lydia Thomp son, for now two years with an affection equally irrational and indomitable. "The desire of the moth for the star, Of the ulght for the morrow," could not be more intense and intolerable than the love of the blighted Miss Griffin for the blonde Miss Thompson. Years ago, Mario used to be hunted all over the world in the same way, but not by an enthusiast of his own sex. The pallid and pecunious Miss Coutts, who bought stage-boxes for herself and bouquets for the great tenor in every capital of Christendom, was by no means bo startling a phenomenon as the lady-love of Miss Lydia Thompson. Grisi at least under stood Miss Coutts and hated her accordingly; and operatic managers inclined tenderly to her as one of the cheapest and mo3t remu nerative of puffs. But nobody seems to have understood Miss Griffin. Her purpose, as vaguely indicated by her self, "was to marry Miss Thompson on the European plan." We bave some notion of what is meant by keeping a hotel on the European plan; but marriage on the Euro- Eean plan requires explanation. Hotels and ousekeeping both involve bed and board. By the European plan in hotels you pay for your bed "whether or no," and for your board if you take it. We should like to know whether the same principle obtains in Eu ropean matrimony as understood by Miss Griffin, bent on compelling Miss Thompson to the bymeneal'altar. Miss Thompson her self seems to have given her lover no encou ragement. She insisted, indeed, on marry ing Miss Griffin only on the Indiana plan, which consists chiefly in divorce. Coleridge tells us that "To be wroth with one we love Doth work like matinees In the brain." And Miss Griffin, having finally lost her temper under the repeated spurns of the golden-haired Lydia, lost her wits with her temper. She behaved in such a manner as compelled her idol to take precautions for her personal safety, and these precautions com pleted tbe mental wrecK ot tne unrortunate "Perhaps It was right to dissemble your love, Hut why did you kick me down stairs?" and getting no satisfactory reply she went to . ml I tbe police, xne umcago ponce, always en chanted to make mischief, impartially ar rested everybody concerned; and the modern Sappho, less fortunate and less gifted than her Grecian prototype, instead ot vanishing, out of a world which had lost its savor, in a flurry of song from the heights of a seaside cliff, ignobly disappears in a storm of strong expletives through the portals of a police court. If Swinburne will not condescend to celebrate her biting, bitter woe, let Walt Whitman at least send up for her a dismal "barbaric yawp. SPECIAL NOTIOES.
