1KANCE AND THE OKLEaNLSTS.
lYom the A. 1'. Times.
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.
