A good many people who ought to know liotter ne em to imagiue that, in tLo evcut of the overthrow of the Socoml Empire, the dynasty of Orleans lias special claims on the suffrages of the French nation. It may readily bo admitted that the present repre sentative of tLis family, the Count of Paris, grandson of LonU Philippe, is a man of re sectable talents and liberal sentiments. However desirable these may be in a ruler of France, it is, however, obvious that an aspi rant to royal power mnst be able to show sou elhing more definite to entitle him to the unanimous support of the people. He must either be able to appeal to the principle of If gitiui&cy, which underlies monarchical in stitutions, or he must be able to show that the family to which be belongs has estab lished a prior right to the throne by its past services in the cause of liberty or national progress. Any other arguments might bo heard in support of his claims to become the President of ft republio, but are in no sense relevant to the foundation of a hereditary monarchy. It is scarcely necessary to remark that, on the score of legitimacy, the Count of Paris has no claim whatever to inherit the French crown. The Count of Chambord, grandson of Charles X, is still alive, and is known among the legitimists as Henry V, a title ho would unquestionably merit were the claims of the House of Bourbon to be again recog nized in France. As the younger, or cadet branch of the family, the House of Orleans can have no rights on the hereditary princi ple till the elder branch becomes extinct, and any exclusion which the name of Bour bon has justly merited must apply equally to both sections of the family. Wo en, in 18P.0, M. Thiers and his allies paraded the announcement in Paris, "the Duke of Or leans is not a Bourbon, he is a Yalois," they only excited among people of education a feeling of contempt for the shallow false hood, and a feeling of wonder that a body of men, among whom were two eminent histo rians, biioma nave put tneir names to so gross a misstatement of fact. On the score of past services to the nation. the record of the House of Orleans is equally detective, xne l'miippo .kgaute ot the first revolution was the very impersonation of heartless and reckless liber tinism. He shocked even the bloodthirsty chiefs of the revolutionary tri bunal by voting for the death of his royal kinsman, Louis XVI, only to bo contemp tuously burled to the same fate. It may be truly said of him that nothing in life became him like leaving it, and posterity would probably by this time have forgotten him. did he not lie embalmed in the sublime scorn of the pages of Carlyle. His son, Louis Philippe, was fifty-seven years of age when the revolution of July, ItC.O, overthrow the throne of Charles X, and brought France once more to the brink of anarchy. The heads of the coinmer. cial aristocracy of Pans had a heavy stake in the maintenance of social order, and in Jjouis rninppe, ine neir 01 one wno was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Europe, they found their ideal of a ruler. "What prestige surrounds the Duke of Orleans?" said the Governor of the Tuileries, on being asked to support him. "Who knows his history ? How few are there who have even heard Lis name?" The sentiment was an fccho of the wonder with which the French people saw the majority of the two Chambers dispose of the crown to an unknown stranger, without deeming it necessary to consult them either witn regard to tne form of govern inent they desired, or to the ruler who was to succeed tbe one wnom Paris ha I just de throned. During a reign of over seventeen years Louis Philippe failed to achievo any thing which has endeared his memory to France. He professed to Lafayette that he regarded the Constitution of the United States as the most perfect that ever existed, at d yet he resisted every attempt to widenthe basis of the electoral suffrage, and waged a systematic warfare against the liberty of the pi 668. He nattered the popular idolatry of Napoleon by bringing his remains from St. Helena, and receiving them with magnifi cent obsequies in the Church of the Iavalides, while he proscribed his family and banished their adherents. He tried every avenue to gain popularity, yet hi reign numbered more insurrections than any before or since, and in his latter years he gained the soubriquet of the "Target King," from the impossibility he found of btirring abroad without being shot at. He talked republicanism, and, as much as he dared, practised absolutism; and thus be came to be distrusted and despised by his people, and found tbe alliances with the courts of Europe, which he was bo eager to cultivate, evaded and declined. France during his reign was not less slag gibh in material progress than in her advance on the path of freedom. While England and Belgium were becoming a network of rail roads, and developing their mineral resources with vast rapidity, the close of the reign of Louis Philippe found Paris in possession of but two main lines into tbe provinces, and tbe national industries still in the rude, un improved state of the first quarter of the century. A few wealthy bankers had been the royal sponsors of Louis Philippe; a knot of politicians and men of letters had been his only faithful adherents. His government had been one of compromise, and had excited neither affection nor esteem in any section of the nation. Hence it happened that the convulsion wbici unseated him from the throne was one of tbe gentlest of the many insurrections of Paris, as the im mediate cause was one of tbe most trivial that had ever led to a revolntion. The ohlefs of tbe legitimist and liberal party were united in their opposition to tne existing (iovern meet, and had arranged to hold one of the political banquets which were then the fashion, at which the single toast of "Iteform and tbe tight of meeting" was to have been proposed. The Government interposed to forbid the banquet, and found it necessary to call out the military to overawe a populace excited by the latest act of repression. The National Guard, inntead of firing on the people, fraternized with them; the Ministry, fearing ' to face tbe crisis, resigned; and tbe King, trembling for His nie, made his escape in a hackney coach, and reached England as plain Mr. (Smith, ending an inglorious- reign with an iuglorions night, and leaving his daughter in-law vainly to supplicate tbe adhesion of the nation in favor of her son, tbe boy Count of Paris. Tbe most that can be said of the subse quent history of the members of the family of Oi leans, Louis Philippe's brothers and prandrions, is that they have borne ex'le with (Uguity, aud have ehQwn an amount of Intel lectual taste and culture very rare in those reared under the shadow of a throne. Like Louis Philippe himself, they have known the bitter discipline of adversity, and it may readily be conceded they have acted nobly tinder it. But we fail to peroeive in what way their regime could be expected to restore order and harmony to the hostile parties into which the dissolution of the empire, or even the restoration of peace, would resolve France. And, most of all, we fail to under stand why professedly repubheau journals in a reoublican country should go out of their way to advocate the claims of a dynasty, which could only rule in Frauco by prosti tuting the influence of the republican idea to subserve tbe cau.se ot a hereditary monarchy. TIIETBANSFEIl OF POWER IN EUIIOPE. From the A". )'. Nation. We presume tbe warmest friends and ad mirers of the Emperor Napoleon will now admit that the character of the war has, since the opening of the campaign, essentially changed. The French enterod on the contest for the avowed purpose of humbling Prussia, by breaking up the German Confedera tion, detaching the South German States jrom their dependence on her, and thus showing that the relative posi tion of France in tbe European common wealth was not altered. But, according to the admission of the French Ministry, the one object of the struggle now is "to save the country," or, in other words, to drive the Prussians from French soil. He must be a very sanguine Frenchman who hopes for more than this, or looks beyond this. But if this were done, and it certainly will not be done without a tremendous struggle which will shake France to its very centre, it would still leave Prussia in full possession of the position which the French so much covet and have so long held that of the leader in European politics and which the French have been in the habit of describing by the well-known phrase, "When France is satisfied Europe is tran quil." German ideas will hereafter have most weight with European politicians; the German "No" will be looked on as the great est of all obstacles, the German "Yes" as the greatest of encouragements; and German in stitutions will inevitably furnish the mo lei for second-rate powers and half-organized nationalities. The change one of the most important the world has seen is permanent too. Of this there can be no manner of doubt. The fall of France is not the result of her own mad waste of strength, as under Louis XIV, bination of foreign der the elder Napoleon. or of a com powers, as un- She goes down in tbe very Hush of her power, after twenty years of great material prosperity, with her armies at their full strength, and her arma ment fi8 perfect as science and preparation can make it, and under the blows of a single enemy. That enemy, moreover, is a new na tion, of which Europe has hitherto known nothing, which Napoleon I never encoun tered, and probably never even dimly foresaw till the campaign of 18K'. The force now marching on Paris is not the old foe which the Emperor foolishly imagined his uncle had overthrown at Jena; it is lite rally a fresh one, as politically strange and terrible for France as the hordes which poured across the frontier of Gaul in the fifth century and in some ways as hardy, vigorous, and as full of hope. It comes, too, with all the strength of extraordinary train ing, with a rapidly increasing population, in the fulness of physical health, which is the natural result of a pure family life, and with a passionate confidence in the future which has in no degree diminished what is perhaps nearly as necessary to the display of the highest devotion its strong reverence for the rast. It is with no desire to underrate what France has done for the world that we say that this transfer of the predominance in Europe from her to Germany will be a great gain for civilization. France for forty years after the devolution rendered invaluable ser vice in tbe work of destruction. Tbe Napo leonic conquests, ruthless as they were, broke up feudal institutions and made feudal ideas ridiculous, and gave the world the first and most startling illustration it had ever had of the truth that "rank was but the guinea's stamp, and that it was not only in the New Testament that the stable-boy wan as good as the gentleman, but on the battle-field. Every time Murat charged, he taught a lesson in human equality which was carried back to every home on the Conti nent. But with this, and the Code Napoleon, which has since furnished a model to nearly all the Latin states, the political value of France may be said to end. To the work of reconstruction, of building np a better order of ideas and a better polity on tne medieval ruins, she has rendered no assistance; nay, has proved a positive hindrance. It was the influence of French politicians on the Conti nental malcontents which made the revolu tions of 1848 such melancholy and ludicrous failures; and it was their follies, too, which made possible tbe extraordinary attempt to revive in France herself the system of pagan despotism that is, a despotism resting on simple brute force, and not on traditions and sentiment or which we are, it is to be hoped, now witnessing the end. Uiesarisui is a pro duct of k rench soil, and would not have been possible if the French had not been ready for it. They have now twice within the present century placed the whole resources of their magnificent territory, the absolute control of their army, navy, treasury, and educational system, in the bands of a military adventurer, and let him make what nse he pleased of them, imposing no conditions on him what ever, except that he should pick quarrels every now and then, and not be defeated in battle in other words, letting him govern a great Christian State on the 6ame tenure as the chief governs a band of brigands. In the first instance, they had the excuse that they surrendered themselves amidst the confusion of a great social and political revo lution to a man of extraordinary genius. But, in this second case, they placed their lives and fortunes at the disposal of an obscure pretender, ot whose character but little was known, and that little bad, who came sur rounded by a troop of adventurers in search of a livelihood, and who made his way to power through the wholesale slaughter of his fellow-citizens and the overthrow of the constitution; and for twenty years they have not only allowed him to make sport of all that was most respectable in French society, to live, and enable his personal ad herents to live, in unprecedented luxury, to put a frivolous Spanibh bigot at the head of the court, and to lend the great secrets of state to be used by stock gamblers, but also they have allowed him to lead the flower of the French youth into one war after another. to be slaughtered by the thousand for objects about which the French people were never consulted. It must be admitted that the whole civilized woild gaius by the removal from a controlling influence on European affairs of a people which haj given such a lniiieritalila disiiUy of want of judgment, ecru pie, and beU-coctrol. "Eaaperorj" at the head of f.00,000 men may be very anuBing playthings for Frenchmen, and if their existence involved nothing but the degradation of Franco, perhaps nobody else would have a right to complain; but when they undertake to regulate the status and career of their neighbors, we are all inte rested in having them confounded and brought to nought. We venture to assert, too, tbat tbe Prussian triumph is not only the best thing tbat could have happened for Eu rope, but for Frasce herself. It not simply gives the preponderating . influence in European affairs to the most culti vated of European communities, but it will surely if anything can open French eyes to the hollowness and vanity of tbe political ideal which they have cherished for half a century, and satisfy them at last of tbe falsehood of extremes, and prove to them that glory, no less than strength, is only to be found in peaceful progress. The Prust-ian power on the battle-field, no less than tbe Prussian riches at home, is the result of sixty years of patient training, of cuntentment with slow gains, of respect for knowledge and for discipline, of close attention to the education of children, and of constant remembrance that a man is hxund to labor for tbe State no less in bis home than in the ranks of the army. The Piussian has Prussia in mind when he is marrying, when he is educating his children, when he is holding the plough and driving the shuttle, no less than when he is serving in the ranks, and the result of two genera tions of this magninceut culture is that his country is the foremost of modern States. Tbe lepson is full of instruction for all of us as well as for France. There can be very little doubt, we suppose, tbat the collapse of the French army will lead to tbe reorganization of her mili tary system on the Prussian model. The Prussian system is now clearly to be tbe sys tem of the future everywhere, and this, too, will be a gam for civilization. If fighting is to be the only mode of terminating interna tional controversy, tbe world is interested in having it done by citizens, and not by hired men, and in having tbe whole social machine brought to a dead stop while it is going on. It is thus only tbat war will cease to be the amusement of kings, and become in popular eyes the dreadful thing it really is. It is thus only that communities can be brought to enter on it deliberately and solemnly. Every stump orator or roaring editor who howls for battle ought to feel that, if his rhetoric is successful, he will have to shoulder the musket and "pay with his person," as tne i rench say; in the Prussian sys- ttm there are no brigadierships for blatherskites. The introduction of the system into France would doubtless do more than anything else to keep down the martial ardor which has done so much to prevent the erec tion of a stable government, and made her so ready a prey to military adventurers, and to destroy the military caste, whose existence must always make the Legislature feeble. liezonville may therefore yet do for her what Jena did for Prussia. GENERAL RESULTS. Prom the K. Y, Tribune, It is only necessary to look at the actual work which the Germans have accomplished during the last thirty days to be convinced tbat if the military power of Napoleon is not broken, it is at least seriously if not irretriev ably damaged. (1. ) The 1 rench had two important natural lines of defense on their northeastern frontier, to wit: tbe Yosges Mountains and the Moselle river. The Germans passed through the Vosges after their victory at Woerth. They passed over the Moselle after their victory at 1 ot bach. (2.) The French had a formidable series of defensive works, extending from Thionville to Strasburg, and including, beside these points, Metz, Toul, Nancy, Pfalzburg, and other towns, The Germans have taken some of these fortified places, have put others under siege, and have neutralized all of them, so far as their influence on the aggressive opera tions of the uerman army is concerned. (;!.) The French had two great armies, or rather one army, which German strategy cut in two tbat under MacMahon and that under Bazaine. The Germans defeated Mac Gabon's army at Woerth, and drove it sixty or seventy miles westward, damaging it so badly that it has never been able to take the field since. The Germans also defeated Bazaine's army in all tbe great combats near Metz, and finally, on Ibursday of last week, gave it a shatter ing deieat in the terrible battle ot urave lotte, alter which this army ot iiazaine was compelled to take refuge behind tbe fortifica tions of Metz, where it is now besieged by a portion of the victorious German troops fragments of it having been cut on. But even these extremely important gene ral results the overcoming of the natural defenses of the enemy's country, the cap turing or neutralizing of his strongest arti ficial defenses, and the destructive defeats oi both parts of his great army do not by any means represent the sum total ot the uer man achievements. One of their armies has been marching through France directly upon Pans, and is now within a short distance oi tbat city. It has no great natural lines of defense to overcome; it has no strong arti ficial works to assault or besiege the enemy having deserted even Chalons; and there is no opposing force to encounter it, until it meets Trochu's army at Paris. The other of the German armies is encamped in the vicinity of Metz, besieg ins Bazaine there, and ready to deal with MacMahon if he goes that way. It is, of course, within the range of possibility that Trochu's force at Paris may crush the victo rious army of the Crown Prince, and we can not say it is utterly impossible that the often defeated troops of Bazaine and MacMahon should win a victory over the triumphant army of Prince Frederick Charles. But we shall not believe in the possibility of these events until after they have taken place. AMERICAN MEDIATION. Prom rfcj A. . World. Our neighbor of the Times rang a peaceful chime on the day of Christian rest, and with all the emphasis of leaded type called on President Grant to offer to France and Ger many the mediation of the United States. It is far from our design to discourage so amiable a suggestion, hopeless though we be of success, either as to its adoption or its efficacv. The European influences in the direction of peace are, to our mind, much more practical (though they seem to fail); and if an intimation from England, Russia, and Austria to the Prussian conqueror, if such he be, that his advance must cease, does not avail, vain would be Bancroft's gentle pipings, even though inspired from "the cotta&e on the 6ea." The only sentiment which might move Executive action for the hero of Cold Harbor does not care about carnage, aud his military repre sentative at King William's headquarters rather enjoys a thorough Sivage (perhaps he killed tbe Fiegana tor not being neroe enorcb) is one which, in some mysterious I iray, seems to be dying out of the American heart, and which never had a lo Jgment in the bosom of the coarse-grained school in which our President was reared. We mean a gratefol recollection of the pvd; sympathy founded on gratitude to the French people, not their ruler; a lingering metaory of what, in tbe hour of agony, when we were an infant nation, they or their ancestors did for us; a thought of him, our friend, and the dear friend or Washington, over whose modest grave in the Rue de Picpus the invader must, if triumphant, march, cireless of the "great inhabitant below. II we were to bear ' of tbe President assisting to lay the corner-stone at Elizabeth (where he has a cherished kinsman) to the memory of the gallant Brnoswickers and Hessians who murdered Mrs. Caldwell, or of Rahl at Trenton, or of Donop at Red Bank, we should not to be altogether sur prised. But sympathy for the land of Lafay ette, and Rochambeau, and Lauzen, and Cbastellux, and ileury, is not to be looked for. Even tbe Gallic glow of his friend Mr. Borie is, we fear, cold, and Badeau's French blood is not thicker than water. General Grant probably never knew (for, thanks to Bancroft, who reads of tbe Revolution now ?) tbat a young Frenchman stood closest to Wayne's side when he led the storming party at Stony Point, hauling down the British flag amidst tbe firing, and that Washington and his f taff (think of this, Protestant Puri tan of to-day!) attended mass in honor of the French alliance. He never heard of the gay and gallant Du Portail, or of the good, simple-minded Abbe Kobiu. Idle we admit it to be nowadays to talk or write about sentiment or sympathy. The age of chivalry has gone with a vengeance, and we sloop from the realms whither a fan ciful memory has lifted us to a practical difficulty which, we suggest, is fatal to the mediatorial scheme of the limes. We hear from our special telegraphic correspondent tbat Mr. Gladstone and Earl Granville are in council at Walmer, receiving hourly intel ligence, and ready to pacificate or intervene at a moment s notice. At Paris and Herlm, and everywhere, England is adequately repre sented. So is every neutral power; while tbe United States at this juncture has not a trustworthy representative (counting out Mr. Marsh, whose litery leisure is undisturbed at Fiesole or Arcetri) on the continent of Europe; and the English mission, whence alone could emanate good offices, is left vacant, to be filled, perhaps, by the highest bidder, and actually, as we see, solicited by needy advertisements in the newspapers. Bancroft is known not to be in favor at Long Branch, and would have been brought home but f or the bl -?ckade in the North Sea. He is not the nurse to minister soothing syrup to so rugged a baby as Bismarck. Wash- bnme has his hands full with his protectorate and house of refuge in Paris. It may be (and this tbe scandal of tbe long vacancy in London makes plausible) that our President relies on purely military agency for bis diplomacy, and intends "running the machine" with Badeau and Sheridan and Sickles men of his own type and after his own heart. If this is not the case, and the final catastrophe of bloody war is so near that no fresh American mediator could reach the warring hosts in season, we suggest to our amiable neighbor that the chance of this mode of pacification is Blender iudeed.
