WHO COMMANDS TUEfRUSStAN3t
Bkfobk the commencement of hostilities be
tween France and Trnssia, the military supe
riority of the former power was admitted on
all Bides almost without hesitation. It was
believed that the French army was better
Organized, better drilled, better officered, and
inspired with more of the genuine military
spirit than any in the world. The manner in
which the Prussians fought in the war with
Denmark and Austria only a few years ago
inspired the belief that France had found her
match now if ever, and while it was
considered almost a certainty that the
French would achieve the first viotories and
force the Prussians to carry on the war on
their own soil, there were many who were
frilling to take heavy odds in favor of the
n'timate triumph of the latter. All this is
changed now, 'and in view of the splendid per
formances of the Prussians, it is amusing to
read some of the criticisms of their military
system whioh were current but a few weeks
ago. A specimen of the kind of disparage
ment to which the Prussians were subject is
found in the following paragraph from a letter
written from Paris to the Cincinnati Lommer'
rial by one of its editors, Mr. Marat Hal
Btead, whioh has been going the rounds of
tho newspapers for a week or two:
"The Prussian army Is weighed down by a hideous
arwtooracy of officer. The real generals are not,
according to appearances, put In command. A par
cel of pr.uces are nominally at the head of the seve
ral corps. The great Moltke has always a stupid
nrnro or two at his back, Just as the great Bismarck
has beeo compelled to bear on his broad shouldors
tup ponderous and vain old King, who goes along
with bis army and thinks he comutands It."
If the Prussian army is weighed down by a
hideous aristocracy of officers, it certainly
bears tho weight gracefully. The probabili
ties are, however, that Mr. Ilalstead studied
the Prussian military organization too much
from an entirely Parisian standpoint, and
that, like the Frenchmen who imagined that
tLey were going on a little summer holiday
excursion, in which the advancement of the
glory of France and the humiliation of Prus
sia would be the pleasant incidentals,
he has learned a thing or two
by this, time that he never knew before.
The "ponderous and Vain old King" is cer
tainly with his army, but there has been no
ntteranoe of his thus far to show that he
considers himself the real leader of bis forces;
and if he has not the ability to command an
army himself, he possesses wisdom enough to
select somebody who has brains enough to do
the real work of direoting the campaign. In this
he may be advantageously compared with the
French Emperor, who has made a muddle of
his affairs by attempting to play the role of
ymon onSe."
It is possible, but not probable, that the
Prussian princes who have, nominally at
least, thus far led their armies in a splendid
Series of viotories, are stupid fellows, with
teal soldiers at their elbows to tell them what
to do; bat as armies are not, as a general rule,
Commanded with distinguished success in this
manner, we are foroed to the conclusion
that the Crown Prince and Prince
Frederio Charles are generals of real
ability, even if they do happen to be
princes. It is the fashion nowadays to dis
parage loyalty at all points; but, per se, there
is no good reason why a prince should not be
n man of brains as well as one who has not
royal blood in his veins, and although we are
good republicans, it is rather gratifying than
otherwise to see the Prussian princes proving
themselves to be something more than orna
mental figure-heads.
THE CUBAN SITUATION.
The war between Prussia and France has so
overshadowed all subjects of minor import
ance that the troubles of Spain and Cuba have
almost been loBt sight of. Spain, which was
the immediate cause of the conflict, sits wait
ing for something to turn np in her favor, so
that she can wind np the work of her revolu
tion and establish a permanent government,
while in Cuba the counter revolution still
continues nominally, although the clash of
arms has almost ceased to be heard in that
quarter. That the Cubans have not been able
to achieve any permanent advantages against
the almost imbecile attempts to subdue them
made by the Spanish forces, is a disappoint
ment to their well-wishers in the United
States; but people who cannot help them
selves when they have such an opportunity as
was presented to the Cubans oan soarcely ex
pect muoh beyond sympathy from their
neighbors. As the matter now stands the
Cubans appear totally unable to achieve their
independence, while the Spaniards are equally
incompetent to establish their authority over
the island as heretofore. There is nothing to
be gained by prolonging such a situation as
this, and it is for the best inte
rests of all parties that the insurrec
tion should terminate at as early a
day as possible. In view of the complication
oi ufluirsin Europe, Spain would doubtless
be only too glad to oonclade the contest with
Lor colony, so that she may be able to avail
ben! of her whole military force in oase of
tny emergency that may arise out of the
Franco-Prussian quarrel; and if the Cabana
are not in a position to demand their inde
pendence, they certainly ought to be able to
conclude a peace on equitable terms and to
exact conditions that will prevent a continu
ance ef the tyrannical policy on the part of
the mother country - - that caused - the
insurrection. , If the Cubans had been half
a much in earnest as were the American
colonies in their contest with Great Britain
they would have succeeded in driving the
Spaniards from their island long ago. But
the fact id that all the Latin races lack stamina
and moral purpose, and it is for better that
0uba ukwU L glreu yp to Spain, gain than
that a cruel and bloodthirsty but utterly tin
profitable contest should be continued.". We
hope, therefore, it is true as reported, that
Spain has sent a special agent to consult
with the leaders of the insnrreotion and
learn what terms they will accept.
The sending of such an envoy is a practi
cal confession of weakness on the part of
Spain; and if the Cubans had hitherto shown
themselves able to do more than carry on a
guerilla warfare, it might be an encourage
ment for them to continue their resistance
to the bitter end. There are few persons in
the United States, however, who have atten
tively watched the progress of the Cuban in
surrection, who would not advise the people
of the island to accept generous terms from
the mother country if they are offered. It is
possible that the rumor of the arrival of the
Spanish agent in this country may be un
founded; but in view of the peculiar situa
tion of affairs both in Spain and in Cuba, it
is at least likely to be true, and if true it
ought to lead to important results.
riiUSSIAN CORRESPONDENCE
CARDS.
People used to have plenty of time, and
even some to ppare, but now, when inven
tion is racked to the ntmost for all sorts of
plans to save time, there seems to be none
left. The modern boast of annihilating it
appears to be actually being realized; and
what the world will do for a supply after a
few more centuries of improvement is really
a matter for anxious consideration.
Centuries ago our semi-savage ancestors
despatched a short note of compliment on a
log of wood, or a 6heepskin, or some slight
matter of that sort. Now we have "adhesive"
envelopes ready stamped, and paper with
printed addresses, yet we cannot find time to
write our letters. To eAse this pressure
fashion has invented a science of cards by
which a corner turned up or down
becomes terribly significant, and "p. p.
c." and other hieroglyphics assume
mystic import, while a cabaliatio monogram,
unreadable to the uninitiated, means "at
borne," and is understood to explain that your
friend is to be married and expects you to
come to see him in a new coat and bring some
Bilver with you.
But all these contrivances are insufficient,
and the Prussian Tost Office Department has
struck upon a plan for expediting corres
pondence that promises to be very conve
nient. The new invention is called the corres
pondence card, and is a card bearing the
PoBt Office stamp with a blank space on the
face for the address, while the back of the
card is left for the note or communication.
These cards will be sold stamped for the mere
price of the stamp, or unstamped for the cost
of production. The communication and ad
dress may be written in penoil, printed,
lithographed, etc., according to fancy, and
may be signed or unsigned at will. Places
for writing will, when possible, be furnished
at the Post Offices, and all carriers will be
ready to furnish the cards.
The one objection to this new form for
correspondence is that the letter will, of
course, be open, that he that runs may read,
but as the carriers and postmen have to run
pretty fast nowadays, it is not probable that
they will have much time to spend in reading,
and many communications on business, and
even upon social or domestic matters, could
be without injury exposed to the accidental
danger of being perused by. a post office
official.
The Prussian post office, in announcing
the introd action of these cards, urges their
use upon business men for the transmission
of orders, etc., in the confidence that they
will speedily become popular as a matter of
convenience, from the faot that they can be
carried in a pocket-book as readily as visiting
cards.
If the despatches sent over the cable las t
night are not grossly incorrect, the bulk of
MacMahon's army has marohed to the relief
of Bazaine. - These reports do not imply
that a junotion of the two wings of the
French army has already been effected, bat
only that they are in such proximity as to
act in co-operation for defensive or offensive
operations, or at least to expose the Prus
sians, who are investing Metz, to the danger
of having a simultaneous assault upon their
front and rear.
The Prussian advance upon the capital has
at least had the effect of impeding the trans
portation of reinforcements and supplies
from Paris to the French armies in front,
and if MaoMahon ventures too far towards
the Moselle, it is possible that all his lines of
communication with the capital may be out
off.
The central point of interest continues to
be the battle-ground of last week and the ad
jacent country. It is in that region that a
decisive conflict is most likely to occur, and
in no other quarter have the French a chance
of retrieving the disasters of the campaign.
The Earrisburg 1'tlegraph is earnestly
urging the Republicans of the hopeless dis
triat of York, Cumberland, and Perry to no
minate a straight Republican candidate for
Congress to pull the chestnuts out of the fire
for Cameron, and enable Ilaldeman to be re
elected. When the Republicans shall have
burnt their fingers in obedience to Cameron's
strategy, Ilaldeman, being winner, oan be
jolly. But if the Republicans shall not
rush their fingers into the fire, what then?
Forj particulars, inquire of the Republican
United States Senator who is struggling to
elect a Democratic Congressman against the
wishes of the Democratic party,
The Lower Bax kcisance still contiunuej
in the environs of New York that is to say
the bodies of thousands of dead dogs, cats,
and horses have been washed on the shores
adjacent to luxurious country seats and
suburban villages, and the air for miles
around Manhattan is tainted with poisonous
effluvia. Thns rottenness prevails without
as well as within the metropolis, and hetltU
and life are wantonly sacrificed to eustue
profits on a i'ew Yoik, offal contract.
Tht, FiMpr.noa who lately : hald all Trance
in awe has now fallen so low that there are
none to do him reverence. In the French
Chambers yesterday, the Republicans pro
tested against a fight for his dynasty, while
one Parisian journal deuounoed him as the
Bole author of tho present calamities, and an
other insisted that he must be kept away
from headquarters, because his presence at
the front wan a sure presage of defeat; and to
crown his disgrace, it is reported that
Eugenie pitches into him sharply for not ex
posing his precious person on the battle-field,
or, , in other words, for being a coward as
well as a criminal blunderer. It is impos
sible that a man so thoroughly unfitted for
the leadership of France can resume that
position. Despised by the army, hated by
the people, and reproached by his own party
of Imperialists, it is high time that he sought
refuge in obscurity, and left armies and gov
ernments to men who are more capable of
managing them.
The Convkm'iok of Republicans in favor of
minority representation will meet at Reading
on Wednesday next. The minority counties
are especially urged to send delegates, but
delegates will be welcomed from any section
of the State who sympathize with the move
ment. We notice that the convention that
elected the Berks delegates complimented
Cameron and Scott, and active efforts are
now being made to pervert the whole effort
into licking the bauds which have smitten the
earnest Republicans of the Democratic coun
ties. The chief complaint of the true men of
the minority dibtiicts is that the patronage of
thef-e sections has been bartered by the Sena
tors to pay individual debts, and often in de
fiance of the wishes of the parly. The Re
publicans of the minority counties should
understand that some of the aotive men ap
parently enlisted with them have already
contracted to sell out aud deliver the whole
convention.
A iii:.srATCH from Paris states that orders
have beeu given for laying waste tke country
near the capital, and that valuable flour mills
have already been destroyed, while extraordi
nary pains have been taken to place the rare
zoological curiosities in the Bois de Boulogne
in a place of safety. The underlying idea of
this defensive strategy appears to be that it
mutters little how many families may be made
homele&s or bow many of suoh commonplace
things as barns and mills may be burned up,
if deer, antelope and giraffes do not fall into
the hands of the Prussians. The rescue of a
hippopotamus is deemed an objeot of more
moment than the preservation of the home
steads of ten thousand families, and if King
William can only be kept from driving baok
to Berlin a gigantic elephant, Paris little recks
how many peasants may be plunged into
hopeless poverty.
The Repubi.ioa.ns of Lancaster vote on
Saturday for Congressional, Legislative, and
other candidates, and the contest has been
singularly animated. If half is true that is
published by the local papers against the
various candidates, every man pressing for a
nomination much more merits a cell in the
penitentiary than a seat at Washington or
Harris burg; and according to the history the
several editors give of each other, all of them
should have been reposing behind iron bars
years ago. The District Attorney should
present at least fifty bills tb the next Grand
Jury, if the newspapers are at all' credible,
and promptly move for an enlargement of the
county jail. Editors and candidates gene
rally should be indicted in the name of the
Republican party, unless honesty has en
tirely ceased to vegotate in the Old Guard.
