early edition.
THE WAR NEWS.
The news from Europe indicates a succession
of Prussian advances unparalleled for ra
pidity in the annals of war. There has been
nothing like them since the terrific move
ments in the early campaigns of the first
Napoleon: but by the aid of such powerful
modern agencies as railroads and telegraphs
even his achievements have been eclipsed,
and the tactics of the old French Republic
and Consulate have been turned with re
doubled force against the new French empire.
The Prussians Bet out with the intention of
making the war "short, Bharp, and decisive."
Many reasons impel them to adopt this
coarse. Their whole active population is
Tinder arms, and they wish to reconvert their
swords into ploughshares at the earliest pos
sible moment, so that the exhaustion insepa
rable from a long struggle may be avoided.
They are immeasurably better prepared for
effective operations than their retreating an
tagonists, and they do not wish to give the
French time to rally, recruit, and recover.
They wish to utilize their present advantages
by securing a permanent peace before the
passions of the entire nation they have in
vaded have been aroused, and before it be
comes possible to organize a counter-movement
formidable enough to threaten an inroad
npon German territory.
Up to this time the events of the campaign
have Htrongly indicated the success of this
ambitious programme. One French retreat
kaa followed another in quick succession, and
while battle after battle has been won by the
German.-), there has not yet been a single
substantial French victory. The conflicting
reports of the struggles of the last few days all
point to the conclusion that Napoleon's armies
are unable to prevent the continual advance
of the German troops, and that they consider
themselves fortunate when they succeed in
protecting their own retreat. Even this is
harassed, however, day after day, and the
French Minister of War can give to the
Corps Legislatif no better food for hope and
confidence than the assurance that the Prus
sians, who swarm around the flanks and the
rear of the flying Frenchmen, have suffered
several serious checks.
One great object of the Germans, ap
parently, is to capture and hold the railway
line extending westward from Nancy towards
Paris. Already a considerable portion of it
has fallen into their possession, and the Pre
fect of the Meuse informs the Minister of the
Interior that he has cut the railways near
Bar-la-Duc to prevent them from being useful
to the enemy. This point is nearly half-way
between the frontier and Paris, and the fact
that it is endangered shows that the invaders
have already made good their advance over
nearly half the distance between the Rhine
and the French capital. If they are to pene
trate still farther into "the bowels of the
land," the use of this railway for the trans
portation of supplies and reinforcements will
become an object of prime importance, and
the Germans will gain great advantages by
securing it.
So far the French have made no successful
btaad at any point of importance. They have
held a few fortresses, but they have been
totally unable to cope with the invaders in
the open field.' The great) military and poli
tical problem of the day is when and where
are they to find a firm foothold, on which
they will be willing to risk a decisive battle?
Despatches fr.om Paris state that the new
War Minister has displayed extraordinary
energy in forwarding reinforcements and sup
plies to the French armies; and despite the
reports of revolutionary outbreaks and the
growing hostility to the Emperor, the
leaders of all the fierce factions seem to
unite in the desire and determination to re
assert the martial power of France. If these
statements are not wholly delusive, the
French army will gain intrinsio power with
each retrograde movement, despite the disas
trous loss of prestige, for as it is falling back
immense bodies of the new levies are ad
vancing to meet and strengthen it. We are
told that the National Guards, the Garde
Mobile, and hosts of volunteers are
oa their way to join Bazaine.
Although they did not reach the
front in time to defend the passes of the
Vosges Mountains, or to protect the line of
the Moselle, they may still make a display of
French valor on the Meuse, on the plateau of
the Argonneo, or at Chalons. The great fight
of the campaign will probably occur when the
nia'a bodies of both armies concentrate at
some one of the strong strategic points be
tween the Moselle and Paris.
The conjecture is thrown out that Napo
leon will select as a decisive battle-field some
place which, without putting his capital into
too imminent peril, will enable him to over
awe its turbulent population. His personal
exigencies require Liu to combat at onoe a
powerf u' foe is front and scarcely less dan
l f loos enemies in Lis rear, and his dynasty
cannot be perpetuated unless he manages to
hold both in check. He is desperate and
despicable enough to surround his
capital with danger if he can
thereby save himself, and it would be in keep
ing with his character to compel the French
armies to fall back towards Paris further than
military exigencies required, if he could
thereby facilitate the accomplishment of his
sinister designs.. Nothing would please him
better than to win a decisive victory at some
point where all Paris could hear the sound of
his triumphant cannon.
THE HEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Governor has signed the bill passed at
the last session of the Legislature submitting
the choice of Washington Square and Penn
Square as sites for the new municipal build
ings to the votes of the citizens of Philadel
phia at the October election; and the Inde
pendence Square job may be considered as
finally and forever squelched. The owners
of property in the neighborhood of Washing
ton Square, who are receiving large incomes
by renting out rooms for offices, of course
see no virtue in the plan for erecting the
public buildings on Penn Square, and they
can offer a thousand reasons why the first
named location is the only one that is worthy
of consideration. Outside of the compara
tively small coterie of deeply-interested indi
viduals, there are several hundred thousand
of the inhabitants of Philadelphia who will
be very likely to take a very different view
of the case. It is proposed to put np build
ings for the accommodation of the municipal
government and the courts which will be
worthy of the dignity, wealth, and impor
tance of the second city in the Union, and
these buildings will be expected to answer
our necessities and those of our posterity
for a century to come, at least. It is
of the greatest importance, there
fore, in choosing a location, that
the rapid growth of the city should be
taken into consideration, and that the build
ings should be placed as near as possible to
what is likely to be the business centre of
the city in future times. The intersection
of Broad and Market streets is the natural
centre of the city, and there is not a single
spot within the corporation limits that is as
likely to be the one proper place for our city
hall a hundred or two hundred years hence
as this. Penn Square will not only be the
proper place a hundred years hence, but it is
so now, and it would be the height of folly
to think of selecting any other site.
Leaving all other considerations out of
view, Washington, like Franklin, Bittenhouse,
and Logan Squares, was set apart by William
Penn as a public park, and it never ought to
be appropriated to any other purpose. Penn
Square, on the contrary, was intended ex
pressly for the municipal buildings, and the
location is as suitable as it is beautiful and
imposing. All the clamor against Penn
Square, and in favor of overshadowing Inde
pendence Hall by a huge pile of modern
architecture, or, in event of Independence
Square not being attainable, of erecting the
public buildings upon Washington Square,
has been raised by the property-owners in the
vicinity, backed up to the newspapers who
have their offices in the neighborhood of
Sixth and Seventh and Chestnut streets.
The interested motives of these parties are
so transparent that their arguments ought
to have no weight whatever with the people
of Philadelphia, who will be called upon to
decide the controversy by their votes in Octo
ber next; and we hope that there will be suoh
an emphatic expression of public opinion in
the matter that no room will be left for future
question or doubt as to which of the pro
posed sites our citizens prefer.
THE SOUTH BROAD STREET OUT.
RAGE.
Two more of the scoundrels implicated in
the South Broad street outrage have been ar
rested and identified by their victim, and a
sentence of thirty-two years in the Peniten
tiary awaits them. Two more of the gang are
yet at large, and if these are arrested and
punished, as we sincerely hope they soon will
be, the public may congratulate itself upon
being rid of as desperate a set of ruffians as
the city contains, while a check will be put
upon the spirit of outlawry, of which these
fellows were prominent exponents, that can
not fail to have a beneficent effect in securing
decent citizens immunity from insult
and outrage. That these ruffians
will be allowed to serve out the full term of
their sentence is, to say the least, extremely
doubtful. They and their friends have politi
cal influence, and are useful at the polls, so
that a powerful pressure will be undoubtedly
brought to bear to secure their pardon; and
the comparative ease with which other crimi
nals have been able to escape the full penalty
of their offenses through the interference of
a too pliable Executive renders it more than
likely that all the members of this gang will
be seen at their old haunts again ere many
years have passed away. All who believe that
the peace of the city can be secured, and
the persons and property of de
cent people protected, by the prompt
and certain infliction of the severest
penalties that the law allows, should be vigi
lant in watching any attempt to procure the
release of the scoundrels implicated in the
South Broad street outrage, and at the slight
est indication that a pressure is being brought
to bear upon the Governor to prooure their
freedom, the press and public bhould uniie in
such an emphatic protest that, whoever my
be the occupant of the Executive chair, he
will pause before commi tting an act that will
be considered in the light of an outrage by
every decent man and woman in the com
munity. The following item in the Associated Press
despatches. from Washington is refreshing:
"In view of the premature publication of the war
rant for the arrest or Congressman Butler, of Ten
nessee, on charges of forgery in connection with
pension rua, the authorities of the Pension om-
we tot me opinion that tiuUer will give up Hut inten
tion of visiting Washington to explain matters, and
will secret himself until the time of the atecimgof
icpgitsa, when he wul claim b privuese a a
momtKT to be exempt from arrest while n ro'itf to I
tn capital."
Tis very like; bat what reason had the au
thorities of the Pension Bureau to believe
that Butler, who is charged with crimes that,
if proved, will send him to the penitentiary,
ever had any idea of coming to Washington
to explain matters? From all outward ap
pearances no pains have been fiparei by the
Pension Bureau to give Butler every oppor
tunity to take himself to parts unknown if he
desires to do 60, and the people of the coun
try are interested in knowing why the arrest
was not made weeks ago, and before all the
details of the case were published in the
newspapers. If Butler does not get beyond
the reach of the law it will be either because
he is conscious of being able to prove hia
innocence, or because he feels certain that he
will escape punishment in any contingency.
This case, in conjunction with that of Colo
nel Forbes and other irregularities that are
constantly being brought to light, indicates
very clearly that the Pension Bureau is sadly
in need of reconstruction, and that there is a
sp'endid field for an investigating committee
to operate npon at the next session of Con
gress. IROX-'LiDS.
