Bo much song and pentiment have been wanted upon Hammer that we yield to the temptation of doing it justice in plain prone. All the poets, from the apocryphal time of Hcio's sightless bard to the days of Frowning and Lowell not to apeak of the host of tune ful rhymers who win neither fame nor for tune have made the Summer an ideal ; have hung upon' it their fairest festoona of fancy, and their richest garlands of thought. By some Hories of subtile causes, the Hummer Iim come to represent whatever beauty, sweetness and richness there may be is life. tw leas than the fruitage and fruition of the fondest wishes and highest aspirations. One would Imagine, from ail this rhythmic ado and miacellaneons mellifluence, that Hummer was a peculiar atmospheric condition of Parnassus to which no mortal, even though drunk with the wine of poesy, had ever been admitted. And 3 et the season is liberally scattered alt over the planet too much so to enforce the belief that it is a blessing. Go where we will, unless to the penks of the Alps or Hima layas, we cannot get beyond the region where the mercury insists on altitude, and where the heat is oppressive at some time of the year. We associate Russia with superabundant snows; and yet who that has been in Moscow or St. Petersburg, duringJuly or .August, has not found himself in melting maod ? Stockholm, or Ofarisliania, hyperborean as they seem, are anything but comfortable in those months; anol Greenland itself is not incapable of pro ducing calorific- griefs. While the dog-star raged, we have often sought in vain for sequestered spots wherein the thermometer might play an unoonspicuous part. , We are profoundly skeptical if there be any such places on the surface of the globe: and we have always questioned if Sir John Franklin, amid the Arctic icebergs, did not die of sun slxcke. Of all the season, summer has the least to recommend it; indeed, may be said to be the most unendurable. Spring, autumn, and winter have their pleasures, their pleasant nesses, and their poetry; but summer, by its sultriness, its monotony, and its neat, makes comfort a mockery and satisfaction a sham. It is ail well enough to read of solstitial joys and beauties; but when we strive to realize them, they elude and delude us like a will-o'-the-wisp. Sophomorical weeklies tell us of the glory of the umbrageous woods and the sparkle of the silver streamlets. We visit them only to find, to our disappointment and disgust, that the woods are full of stinging gnats, and that the streamlets, converted into stagnant pools, are the birthplace of myriads of venomous musquitoes. Home skillful sonneteer chants the charm of the sky and the loveliness of tho field; but, to the eye of common sense, the one is a con cave of burning brass and the other a plain of blasted vegetation. Correspondents write with mingled fustian and hyperbole of the pictaresqueness and grandeur of the moun tains, of the delights and dissipations of the sea-shore. We' fly to them both, and return, mourning over the vanity of human hope and the reality of dyspepsia. There is no place to live on the mountains, and in the valleys the heat is insupportable. By the sea the breeze is from the land, and the accommodations are a satire on the name. We r0a.1t in town; but we broil in the country. We stew at the springs; but we bake on the beach. If we cannot avoid the tire of the season, what matters our form of culinary preparation ? Though none of us have discovered the re gion which is delightful in summer, it is sweet t o believe that the region exists. Places that hold us with a spell at other times, disenchant us while Siriua burns. Sorrento id thought by many to be the fairest spot on earth: and yet who that could get away has ever spent a summer there ? As a general rule, the more warm weather a country has the more dis agreeable it is. "There endless summer reigns;" "No season but summer;" "The summer circles all .the joyous year," are oheap phrases of rhetorio which pass for elo quence among those who do not understand the use of language, or the prosaic quality of heat. The lands of (endless summer are shunned by all save those obliged to dwell in them. The tropics are attractive to the imagination and repulsive to the senses. Nature makes them hateful with prodigality, and shows her opinion of them by the race she puts there. Egypt, with all her associations of age, and learning, and mystery, is only a plain of burning sand, where nothing but its reputa tion detains our wandering feet. How Cleo patra, who stands to us for all feminine fasci nations, could have lived in that blazing desert, ia past all finding out. How she could have kept the great Caius there, though backed by all her blandishments and bewil dering charms; how she could make him for get ambition, which was the god of his idolatry, in the soft twining of her rounded arms, with the mercury above r.'O degrees in the shade, is sot to be accounted for by any knowledge of man's weakness, or any pene tration of woman's art. The Goddess of Love herself would be unlovely under such circum stances; and the ideal beauty every poet dreams of would repel when her only thought was how to keep cool. The present summer, which, thank Heaven! has breathed its last, has made the season hateful in all climes, and under all conditions. They who believed themselves salamanders longed, during the torrid weeks, for Spitz bergen and the ever-frozen sea. There is no comfort or consolation in the sweltering period, which, for human satisfaction, should be banished from the year. With all its let ters of recommendation, summer is an im postor and a cheat. It corroborates the theories of Cabanis respecting the relations between the physical and ethical, and goes far to show that the keeping of the com mandments and the observation of the laws in a thing of temperature and atmosphere. Hi.ima.er is a remunerative evil to crops and watering-places, but to humanity and civili zation it is a perennial affliction. Ho much. at least, we may exclaim in the heat of our mamoryj and having said it, we feel better as we 1'suibh the late season and all its torrid recollections. 'JIIE DEFEAT OF MACMAHON THE GOVERNMENT OF PARIS THE FUTURE, fi-titn the S. r. Herald. We still wait for details of the fight of Taea day and Wednesday between MacMahon and the Crown Prince at feeauiiont. The latest telegraphic details indicate that MacMahon haa escaped from his hardy pursuer and is striking at the other Royal Prince, who debar Lj j i !( bub.4,ttju.i until we fuller details we must not allow ourselves to speak with too much confidence. - - It is undeniable that the forces of Napo leon, having failed hitherto to check the onward march of the German hosts, have made it their object to hinder as much as possible the attack on Pans. An if the only hope of salvation lay in Paris. Mac Mahon and Bazaine have eaoh been doing all that could be done to give Paris time to pre pare for an attack, if not to make an attack impossible. For the last three weeks Mac Mahon and Baxnine have been endeavoring to unite their forces. During this same period of time the brain which has controlled the movements of the German forces has been doing its utmost to make such union impossible. Considering the line of march of the Prussians, considering that the occupation of Paris has been and still is their object, considering at the same time that France has been putting forth all her strength to defeat these purposes, it has not unnaturally been concluded that out of this double purpose would emerge the conflict which would prove decisive and final. In other words, it has generally been ad mitted that if MacMahon and Bazaine cannot effect a junction the game is up so far as France is concerned. On the other baud, it has been just as generally admitted that if Prussia was not able to render this junction impossible the tide of battle might be turned, and the too confident armies of Prussia sent homewards demoralized. Whatever be the actual facts regarding this battle of Beaumont, it is riot' to be denied that Prussia cannot be easily driven from the position which she hns so nobly won. There are those who think that France is yet strong enough to repel the invader. We do not say that she is not. But we do Bay that for her own interest, not to 6ay glory, she has been too Blow to reveal her strength. It was said by the first Napoleon that he never knew the meaning of resistance until he crossed the Rhine. In Italy conquest was easy. The bright skies and the soft climate of tho south made men shrink from the bayonet. Directly, however, the victorious legions of tho republic crossed the Rhine it was felt that the bayonet was no longer an object of terror. On the northern tide of that river men were encoun tered who with stronger arms could wield the deadly weapon, and with broader breasts could receive the attack. The Germans have not deteriorated, but improved, since the days of the first Napoleon. Physically they are what they ever have been far more than a match for their southern rivals: but to phy sical superiority they have added the results of superior intellect, the mighty appliances of modern science. Since the days when the ( ioths, the Vandals, and ths Huns camo pour ing destructively down on the civilization of the south, no such revelation of northern energy has been given to the world. On this continent we know the value of the Northern races. All that is good and great in these United States is traceable to a Northern origin. The surplus energies which were wont to let themselves loose upon the happier regions of Southern Europe have been finding for many years past a more agreeable outlet to the New World across the seas. We mention this circumstance to show the superiority of the Germans, physically considered, as compared with the French. In our judgment, whatever be the result of this fight, the centre of European civilization will not in the future be sought in Franoe, but in Germany. This war has already done much. It has made Germany a unit. It has been the great aim of all the leading French statesmeu of modern times to prevent this union. To make this union . impossible M. Thiers and M. Guizot have exerted themselves quite as much as has done Louis Napoleon. To pre vent this union the present Emperor of the French has persistently, but not wisely, labored during the last eighteen years. To prevent this union Napoleon commenced the present war. But the means have defeated themselves. The war which was meant to destroy German unity has actually built it up. Hanoverians and Saxons, Wurtemburgers, and Bavarians are all Prussians in this contest. Result the fighting as it may, the unity already accom plished and sanctified by so much precious blood can never be undone. Ibis, however, is not the only result. The Bonaparte dynasty is doomed, and, through the Bonaparte dy nasty, the whole fanciful fabric of Latin unity has crumbled to pieces. I or at least another generation the Bonapartes must retire into private life, nor are we likely for many years to come to hear much of the unity of the Latin races. The return of the Orleans princes to power is no longer a mere possibility. Their return is one of the necessities of the situatiou. Orleanist contentment, not Bonapartist am bition, is what France henceforward will imperatively need. In some future age, but not now, Gallic acquisitiveness may take a new point of departure. Would it be won deiful if, while another Bonaparte goes into involuntary exile, and while the dome of St. Peter's fades away from the eyes of the last of the Roman Pontiffs, the dream of M. Guizot should become a reality and the de cendants of Louis, Philippe should reign at once in Paris and Madrid? The whirligig of time works wondrous changes. OFFICIAL INFLUENCE IN POLITICS. From the X. V. Timet. The exaotion of pecuniary contributions from clerks in the Government departments is bad, but it is not worse than the interfer ence of Federal office-holders in the choice of delegates to conventions, or in the nomina tions which the conventions are required to make. Both are evils. From one the char acter and efficiency of the civil service suffer; the other imparts to cliques a power to regu late the action of party in a manner fatal to its integrity. If ail Secretaries entertained the just ideas of Mr. Cox, and had his firm ness in enforcing them, the black-mailing system which partisanship has sanctioned and systematized would soon come to an end. The meddling of office-holders in local elec tions may not be so easily prevented, but it must be done, if party management is to be purified, and really good men are to occupy onicial positions. No probable reform of the civil service will speedily reach the lucrative offices out side of the departments. These will con tinue among the rewards which the victorious Earty will have at its disposal: and while uman nature is as it is, we may be sure that their distribution will be more or less regu lated by an expectation of gain accruing to the party. But there are two ways of help ing a party by the use of patronage. Tae ordinary method is gross and demoralizing, Men are appointed because of their sup posed value at election times. xney are relied upon to make their olfices the pivotal points of local organization, and so to exert their influence that the nomination of some men shall be prevented and the nomination of others secured. The working of this ulan mav be seen all around us. The wiser and more honorable method is that which t would aid a party by the piiiat:uut tj office of those in whose fitness the commu nity at large baa confidence, and whose per formance of duty would indicate the high standard of the appointing power. We need hardly observe that this better plan is not one with which either party is too familiar. But we do not rest the case on high moral grounds. Expediency is the most acceptable working basis among politicians. Is, then, the interference of office-holders in elections expedient? We think not. There are com plaints of its effect from various quarters. Little "rings" are formed to further the schemes of intriguers. Patronage belonging to a party is used for the benefit of a faotion. .Candidates are nominated in advance of conventions, and official influence is exer cised to construct the conventions accord ingly. Good, able men who refuse to play into the hands of cliques are proscribed; their nomination is frustrated, or they are driven into retirement in disgust. One re sult is. a growing disinclination on the part of first-class men to figure in the list of can didates: nnother. an ever-increasing tendency on the part of officials to become arrogaut in tone and all-pervading in taotics they as sume too much, and would fain manipulate the party which they should be content to serve. Thee manifestations are- uot desira ble, because they are not profitable. Some ambitious candidate may chant their praises, and some pliant cobwention may pay tribute to their power. But if a general balance be fairly struck, it will be found that from this source the party losses exceed its gains. DANGERS AHEAD. rm the l'a Mall OaxeUe. Now that it has become more than evident that the chances of success are overwhelm ingly in favor of one belligerent, the English press has begun to discuss the probability of Prussia becoming the preponderant power of the continent in that optimist spirit which it always displays when the affairs of any coun try but England are in question. The rea sons for congratulating ourselves on the prospect appear to vary from the simple re flection that Prussia is a Protestant and France a Catholio power to the weightier considera tion that the Germans have never shown themselves to be possessed by the conquering and aggressive ambition hitherto peculiar to the French. Both propositions are of course substantially true, but each of them requires nevertheless very considerable qualification. It may be doubted whether King William is not leading into France more Roman Catho lic than Protestant soldiers, and it is quite certain that vastly more men in. the German armies go voluntarily to mass and confession than there are men given to these practices in the French. And id may be added that if France has kept the Italian out of Rome, there is no power on whose, possibly con temptuous, toleration of its vagaries the Holy See so systematically relies as Prussia. . The question of the comparative aggres siveness of France or Prussia as a leading military power is more interesting; but it is very difficult ' to have a confident opinion upon it. France is an example of a nation farmed on the principle of purely political boundaries; and her superiority to other countries has consisted in the completeness with which she has effaced all traces of the interior divisions which the system of mere Eolitical demarcation superseded. So far as er ambition may be attributed to the prin ciple which governs her national organiza tion, it arises from there being no reason why her boundaries should line on one parti cular geographical line more than on another. When the present war began a swarm of pamphlets made their appearance in Paris reiterating the claims of France to the frontier of the Rhine, but (putting aside some audacious historical statements) the ar gument consisted in little more than asking tne question wny tue power wnicn neld Al sace and Lorraine should not have the Pala tinate also. On the other hand, when the new German Empire is constituted it will be as far as possible removed from a mere politi cal aggregation; it will be an empire formed on the principle of nationality. The concep tion of nationality is at present in the highest degree vague. It apparently implies a theory ol common descent tounaed on community of language: but the definition of a common language is as elastic as possible, and nobody can exactly say how far the claims extend which can be advanced on the ground of identity of race. The only example which we have of a State constructed on the new principle is very far from encour aging; and yet Russia is not nearly as perfect an embodiment of the Slavonic as will be a Prussian Germany of the Teutonic nationality. The insignificant exception of Fosen does not create difficulties which can be distantly com pared with the disturbance of Russian na tional theories occasioned by the German provinces on the Baltic and by the irrecon cilable hostility of Poland. We are as far as possible from predicting the aggresive ness of the new Germany when it has ascended to the first place among military powers. The future will alone settle the point. But it is clearly rash te take for granted that unambitious quiescence will be the per manent condition of a great military State constructed on a principle which gives it a theoretical right to include part ot France, part of Austria, part of Russia, and even part of Italy. The enthusiasm of the Ger mans for the forcible severance of Sleswick Holstein from Denmark an enthusiasm as genuine and universal as ever took possession of a people eught by itself to be a warning against hasty assumptions as to the future character of German national passions. It is not our own opinion that much com fort or instruction can be got out of specula tions on the national genius of particular communities, and on the course which it will dictate to tbem if they are elevated to the primacy of the continent. Unhappily, mili tary success never fails to transform na tional genius, and not seldom to deprave it. There is only one result which peace can bring that seems to us likely to serve as a real and solid guarantee agaiust that curse of recurrent war which so fearfully afflicts the Becond half of the nineteenth century. This result which we do not regard as at best more than probable is an understanding among nations about the Bcale of their future armaments. All inferences from supposed national Characteristics are as uncertain as possible, but this is at any rate certain, that if States do not keep up great armies, they will not go to war so often. The existence of great armaments brings about war far oftener than the fear of war produces great armaments. If nothing is done to eff ect such an understanding at the peace, the burden of great armies will S ratably become absolutely crushing. We o not think it worth while discussing whether the French or the German military svstem is the more oppressive to industry and tLe arts. No doubt, abstractly, war is cheapest and least burdensome when con ducted by a mercenary army specially trained and paid for its work. But the fact is, the French and German systems Lave for a lonar tifice p&t LvtU ftpprvuuuUujg to ou ftuvUwi. The long struggle of King William in the early part of his reign with the Prussian Chamber and the liberal stat. nmen which it followed had for its object the extension of that part of his army which corresponded to the permanent armies of England, France, and Austria. On the other hand, the ' French system, always in some degree removed from one of purely meroenary organization by the con scription, has been brought much nearer to the Prussian arrangements by the augmented importance of the Garde Mobile. What Europe is in danger of is the establishment in every continental country of a combina tion of the two systems. Every man, from youth to old age, will be under a liability to military service; all labor, skilled and un skilled, will be liable to interruption at the most critical epochs, and the sources of plenty, ease, and comfort will thus from time to time be suddenly dried up. But this will not save continental populations from having large amounts of capital subtracted and labor withdrawn to keep up armies in no respect substantially different from merce nary armies, and equally at the disposal of gambling statesmen and intriguing monarchs. When Count Bismarck declined the English proposal to disarm, he stated that, owing to the difference between the French and Ger man military systems, the process of parallel disarmament would be very difficult to regu late. Knowing what Count Bismarok knew, it is hard to conceive his giving any answer which did not convey a refusal; but, as a mat ter of fact, the two systems are not nearly so incommensurable as they once were. It is the transformation of a part of the Prussian army into something not very unlike other , continental armies which has made it as for midable for attack as, before the present King's reign, it was intended to be for de fense. The argument, at all events, is not one that ought to prevent the most strenuous exertions on the part of the statesmen who will have to settle the terms of peace. If those terms include no securities against the multiplication of vast armies, Testing univer sally on armed populations, the wisdom of diplomacy is indeed foolishness, ani Europe has never had a darker future before it. ASSESSMENT OF COLORED VOTERS. Front the llarrMxirg Patriot. The Pottsville Miners' Journal says that in some Democratic counties the assessors have refused to perform the duty of registering the colored voters, and that for this reason Governor Geary "issued his proclamation calling upon the commissioners of tho several counties to sec the law enforced." Now we distinctly repeat that there has been no dis position to refuse registry to the negroes in any Democratic county of this State. Frau dulent as the fifteenth amendment is, the Democrats and conservative Republicans mean to obey it, but at the same time punish its authors at the polls. Governor Geary has no evidence in the executive department which justifies his silly proclamation, and the Miners' Journal cannot make good what it so recklessly asserts. The simple story of Geary's proclamation is soon told. The Warrior is a rival of Came ron for the Senate of the United States. He has an exceedingly small political capital to carry on business against so powerful and wily a rival. Fearing that the people were forgetting him, Geary thought he would star tle them with another proclamation. There was nothing left him for a subject but the fifteenth amendment. It was little to him that the conservative, moderate .and law abiding people of Pennsylvania, everywhere, render obedience to the amendment, and the laws passed to enforce its execution. He could not forego the keen pleasure of spread ing himself on paper even though he should libel his fellow-citizens in an official docu ment. By his proclamation he meant to convey to the country the. false impression that a portion of the people of the State which has the misfortune to have him for chief magis trate were conspiring to disobey the laws. For the sake of making a little poor political capital and gratifying his disgusting vanity, he did not hesitate to issue a false and libelous proclamation. Not another radical governor in the United States will have the meanness to conceive and execute a work of such vile and contemptible partisanship. All that he gels for his pains is the con tempt and scorn of the radicals them selves, who do not fail to see through the motives that have dictated this proclama tion. The Miners' Journal will struggle in vain to impart dignity to this document of Geary, or suggest a high and honorable pur pose in the issuing of it. Governor Geary is as great on proclamations as the Dutch Gov ernor of New Amsterdam. The Miners' Journal has not forgotten that "supple mentary proclamation' which was issued for the purpose of defrauding nenry D. Foster of his seat in Congress, on the pretense that new evidence of illegal voting had been re ceived in the Executive Department. DR. GIIION. Front the Jlarritbtirtj TopU: Certain newspapers have chosen to draw an inference or two from the appointment by the Governor of Dr. John 11. Gihon as Quarantine Master for the Port of Philadel phia. They have various pleasantries to repeat, as they think, at the Doctor's expense. In bis absence it may not be inappropriate to say a word or two for him. On the 10th of March last Dr. Gihon started the Topic y which he has run successfully and satisfactorily ever since. When the yellow fever broke out in quarantine and Dr. Thomp son, the Lazaretto physician, fell by the hand of Providence in the faithful discharge of his duties, Dr. Gihon, knowing the nature of the disease, having suffered from it himself in the hospitals of New Orleans, and having had great and valuable experience in its treat ment, at once tendered his services to the Governor. This was at a time when the deaths from yellow fever in the Philadelphia quarantine were at the rate of seventy-five per cent. an unusual proportion and when it was natural to ex pect men, even old physicians, to hesitate about aocepting such a position. Dr. Tay lor, however, also tendered his services and the Governor appointed the latter. Then came the death of Mr. Robert Gartside, the Quarantine MesUr, of the aaue disease. The situation of Master of Quarantine was then at a discount. There were no applicants for the post of danger. Dr. Gihon again ten dered his services. If there was anybody in the State whom John W, Geary had rea son to bay he knew thoroughly it was Dr. Gihon. The Governor was perfectly aware of the Doctor's services, suffer ings and experience in hospitals where yel low fever, cholera, and small-pox prevailed to a great extent. Some appointment to fill the post at the Lazaretto was absolutely acces sary. It was at a time when a man was reeded immediately to supply the place of the brave Gartside. How could there be any hesitancy, then, about tho selection of Dr. Gihon? The offer made by this genUeia&A wM a ptr;o',:g oue, ca&aj rather for the approval of his fellow citizens and brother editors than for their speculations as to his ceasing, for a time at Iesst, his connection with the Topis, as its editor, manager, or publisher. Indeed, we can conceive of no more praiseworthy aot on the part of any man. Those who have so much twaddle to repeat in this connection might have tendered their names for the La zaretto appointment but they did not. The selection of Dr. Gihon is approved by the best citizens of the State and by all who know the man. It has long been felt that not only ought the Lazaretto physician be a doctor f medicine, but also the Quarantine Master. The late appointment, therefore, was a most meritorious one in more points than one. These newspapers are oracles in their way, especially those in Philadelphia. that arrogate to themselves a monopoly of Uarrisburg news, gossip and comment. They generally manage to know what nobody else knows, and have repeatedly astonished the natives of the capital city and the officials here by their smart announcements, which nobody here believes. In this matter they have un doubtedly "put their foot in it." They reckon without their host. Let these gen tlemen think twice before they speak, and they will not be guilty of maligning or ridi culing a man who patriotically offers his ser vices at the post of danger where, perhaps, they themselves have never thought of going.
