TUB SITUATION.
Ai.thott-m the despatches from the seat of
war are somewhat confused and conflicting,
there can be little doubt that the French are
falling back from the line of the Moselle to
the line ef the Meuse. The most consoling
assurance that the Emperor can give to the
l'arUiana is that all the points on the outer
linea of operations have not yet been sur
rendered to the Prussians. Thus we are told
that Strasburg still holds out, and is not
likely to be taken, that Bitche has not been
captured, and Napoleon, while abandoning
Metz himself, issued a proclamation in which
he expresses a confident hope that
the people and garrison of that town would
never permit the Germans to take possession
of it. There is not much practical advantage
to be gained at present by the retention of
these strong outposts, but if the tide of
war changes, . they would prove of immense
service to an advancing French army and
would greatly assist it in rolling back the
tide of invasion. Meanwhile, every hour
gained by Prussian efforts to reduce these
strongholds, and every Prussian regiment
detached to invest them, helps at once to
facilitate the retreat of the main body of the
French army and to give time to the new
Ministry to organize the new forces
that are now being rapidly collected together
in France. The Emperor clearly understands
that he committed a fearful blunder when he
directed his rude ambassador to force a war
upon King William. And since he over
estimated his own strength, while he under
estimated that of bis enemy, the only course
left is the humiliating alternative of falling
back from line to line, and drawing the Prus
sians further and further from their base of
operations, their supplies, and recruits, with
each new step, until the relative strength of
the combatants can be equalized.
If no disturbing elements are developed, if
all revolutionary outbreaks can be promptly
suppressed, and if the French people are
willing to offer themselves up as a free sacri
fice upon the altar of Napoleonic ambition,
this plan of running away and yet living to
fight another day may possibly enable the
Emperor to reach firm ground at last, upon
which, even in spite of his incapacity and
mismanagement, the Prussian armies can be
successfully resisted. Near the close of the
last century, an invading Prussian army was
driven back by the revolutionary forces after
it had passed to the westward of the Meuse,
and crossed the plateau of the Argonnes:
and this history may be repeated.
The greatest obstacle to the success of this
programme is the indignant feeling that it
would provoke among a martial people. M.
Thiers truly said that there can be no empire
without an Emperor. If the leader who has
assumed despotio control of the resources of
the nation, and robbed it of its life and
liberty, stupidly and recklessly invites inva
sions which he is unable to repel, and throws
his stricken subjects back upon their own
resources, the instinct of self-preservation
as well as of self-respect should
prompt them to rid themselves at any
cost of their incapable incubus
and to work out their deliverance with free
hands. It will be one of the greatest of all
marvels of French history if continued de
feats do not lead to Napoleon's dethronement.
Already the Chambers have considered pro
jects for ignoring him, and although they
have hitherto been rejected, each new Ger
man triumph will give to these propositions
increased strength, and in the end he may be
bowed or driven out of France with as little
ceremony as was displayed in our own war
towards unsuccessful generals.
The news of yesterday proves that Napo
leon's diplomacy has been as unsuccessful as
bis war-making. Denmark refuses to form
an alliance with him against Prussia, and
Victor Emanuel has too many dangers to
contend with at home to send an Italian
army to fight French battles. These diplo
matic defeats cannot fail to give a downward
impetus to the Emperor's drooping fortunes.
They will not only cripple his operations
against his foreign enemies, but furnish to
his domestic foes strong arguments for his
dethronement. They will give irresistible
force to the denunciations of the real states
men of France when they accuso him of
frittering away French influence abroad as
well as of establishing tyranny and inviting
n.i.-tTv and disgrace at home.
PENSION FRAUDS.
tiKVfcfcAL weeks ago we were informed that
lloderick R. Butler, the member from Ten
peases who was censured last session, by the
House of Representatives for a little irregu
1 arity in selling a cadetship, was implicated
i n the f orcerv of a pension check and
various other offenses of like serious cbarac
. icr' It was represented that the discovery
of Butler's irregularities" was made through
the vigilance and activity of the agents of
the Pension Bureau, but there was nothing
kai.l fchont anv attempt to brine the accused
to justice, and it was not until a few days ago
that the publio were informed of the fact that
a warrant for the arrest of Butler would
be i dhued. Yesterday the first decisive action
in the case was teken, and a warrant wis
kworn out before a police judt-e of the Dis
trict of Columbia by Frederick M. Clarke, of
tl.c ri ;:ial gmiis ut tie reason. Uuroa i,
and Butler, who is daily expected in Wash-
ngton, mil be terved vita it on hie arrival.
Is it because Butler is a member of Congress
that the Commissioner of Pensions waits for
him to come to Washington and put himself
under arrest, or does he desire to give the
feloniously inclined Congressman an oppor
tunity to leave for parts unknown, if be
chooses to do so? It is Hot usual for the
officers of the law, if they really desire
to see justice done to persona
charged with such crimes as this
man Butler to wait for the accused to
come and deliver himself into their bands,
and it indicates very clearly that there is a
large strew loose somewhere in the manage
ment of the Pension Bureau that there has
been such a delay in calling Butler to aocount
for hi) Bins. While discussing this subject
it is not amiss for tis inquire why Colonel
Forbes, the pension agent of this city, has
not been removed from his office long ago by
the authorities at Washington? Irregularities
of a most Be ions character were proved to
have existed in the management of Colonel
Forbes' office, and although the agent himself
managed to escape a criminal prosecution,
he has been convicted out of his own mouth
of having discounted the claims of pensioners
at most outrageously exorbitant rates. This
is an all-sufficient reason for his removal, and
that he is allowed to retain his omoe impli
cates the men who run the Pension Bureau
with him in his violation of the law.
UNEXPENDED APPROPRIATIONS.
A geeai deal of trouble is being experienced
in carrying on the operations or some of the
departments of the Government on account
of the decision of Attorney-General Akerman
that the unexpended balances of former ap
propriations cannot bo nsed, but must be
"covered" into the Treasury. The Attorney-
General says that this is the only logical
interpretation that can be placed upon the
very loosely-worded law passed by Congress
at its last session; and if this is the case, it
was his duty to decide as he did,
no matter what the consequences may
be. Strange to say, however, some of
the newspapers of the country are sneering at
the Attorney-General for giving this opinion,
and are holding him responsible for the
trouble and annoyance occasioned by it, just
as if it were his duty to interpret the laws of
Congress according to the seeming
necessities of the hour, and not ac
cording to their most obvious meaning.
The practice of using the balances of the un
expended appropriations for purposes for
which Congress forgot to provide, according
to the discretion of the heads of department
or the chiefs of bureaus, was a very loose and
improper way of doing business, and Con
gress was perfectly justified in putting a stop
to it. The truth is, however, that Congress
transacts its business in even looser Btyle than
the executive branch of the Government,
and the consequence is that while the
departments are prohibited from nsing the
money remaining in their hands, no new ap
propriations have been made for objects of
the very highest importance, and national
works that ought to be pushed forward with
all possible rapidity are brought to a stand
still. For this state of affairs Congress is
alone to blame, and it is the height of folly
to throw the responsibility on the shoulders
of the Attorney-General. The last session
of Congress was trifled a tray in unprofitable
discussions over matters of very little interest
and importance, and the real work of the
session was deferred until the very latest hour,
and left only half finished at the adjournment,
and it is certainly not a matter for surprise
that embarrassments of a most serious char
acter should ensue. The opinion of the
Attorney-General may create great inconve
nience, but it will demonstrate the import
ance of clear and definite action on the part
of Congress with regard to such matters in
the future, and the greater the tronble that is
occasioned now the more likely it will be that
such a stat e of affairs will not occur again.
Whittkmoee, the cadetship-selling South
Carolina carpet-bagger, has concluded to
withdraw his name as a candidate for reno
mination to Congress. We have in this an
evidence that even upon such pachyderma
tous scamps as this individual an emphatic ex
pression of publio opinion is not always
thrown away; and although Whittemore was
made the scapegoat for the sins of others
perhaps even more at fault than himself,
enough was proved against him to demon
strate his unfitness to sit in Congress as a
lawmaker for the nation. Instead of being
thankful that he got off as easy as he did by
being permitted to resign his seat, Whitte
more had the consummate impudence to apply
for readmission after last session, and there can
scarcely be a doubt that he would have en
deavored to obtain the nomination to the
next Congress if he had not begun to be
fearful that measures would be taken to call
him to account in a court of law for his mis
deeds. He gives as a reason for his with
drawal from the canvass that "the question
as to my admission, if elected to the next
Congress, though there is no doubt in my
own mind, might confuse my best friends, or
comfort and aid my weakest enemies" a
rather remarkable assertion, in view of the
fact that the last Congress refused to receive
him aa a member. We suspect, however,
that Whittemore had more doubt in his mind
than he professed, and he concluded that it
would be prudent not to besiege the doors of
the House of Representatives a second time,
lest measures should be taken to repress him
effectually by having him locked np in a
penitentiary for a term of years.

SheaocuBes her countrywomen of having fostered

You have much to mske good In this respect. Now
Is the time to do It. Cast from you foreign

Grician Ahtiqi itiks. Those who are interested
In Grecian antiquities will read the following extract
from a recent letter with regret: The walls of the
Acropolis of Assos appear to have suffered most,
being almost levelled to the ground. The gateway
in the lower part of the city is still Intact. After the
destruction of many structures and shipment of part
of the material for the construction of the new forts
at the Dardanelles and for other ' purposes, the cost
of transport was found too expensive, and the work
of destruction was suspended, to be renewed, no
doubt, when a cheaper mode of conveyance may be
organised, or an urgent demand for building mate
rial arises. The remains at Alexandria Troasare
more likely to Buffer than those at Assos, being in
closer proximity to Constantinople and the Darda
nelles, and continued raids are made on these ruins.
The gymnasium of Alexandria Troas (erroneously
called Priam's Palace), notwithstanding its gradua.
rapid disappearance, is still a One and Imposing
building.

It bns leen clearly demonstrated that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain
a very large percentage of impurities; the degree of heat that must necessarily be em
ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxioiM
gases contained in tbe mash, which when condensed form the deleterious fusel oil so detri
mental to life and health: but, when indulged in to excess, the result is Drain Fever, De
lirium 2'nment, AjH-pleTy, Insanity, etc. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are
apt, even w hen only need sparingly as a btimulant, to create Nausea, Sick lleadache, In
flammation, and Kidney Disease. . ,

the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest product
of the Cereals in raccuo, the pressure of the atmouphere being reduced from 15 lbs. to 2
lbs. to the square inch; cotisenuently a temperature of only about 90 degrees of heat is re
quired in the operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CHARCOAL.
