THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1870. (Evening $clt(jwirtt SATURDAY, SEPTF.MBF.U 3, 1870. NAPOLEON'S SVRUSyDEIi. Whatever else maybe said of the Napoleons, history will at least record that they played for desperate stakes. Ambitious, restless, and discontented, no amount of assured power could gratify their insatiate cravings, and they have risked splendid crowns in' the wild hope of adorning them with new jewels. As the uncle mot his Waterloo, so the nephew has now mot his Sedan. All the fading glories of the empire founded on fraud md endowed with a prolonged exist ence by tyranny disappear with the terse announcement of King William that the Em peror has surrendered as a prisoner, and that a residence will be assigned to him as soon ns an approaching interview is completed. The Empress is still recognized as Regent; but since all the French armies that pretended to be able to cope with the invaders have been destroyed, resistance, if it is continued at all, must be maintained in a spirit of sheer desperation. If the future of this unpre cedented campaign is to be judged by the pa&t, there can be but one result to further contests between armies of 6uch dispropor tionate strength, and additional bloodshed will only increase the number of victims to the sanguinary fray without affording France a single rational hope of reversing the for tunes of war. It is high time that Paris should abandon the idea of attempting impossibilities, and prepare to make peace on the best terms that the invaders will give. If France must have a political revolution first, to rid herself of the Napoleonic dynasty as well as the Emperor, and to prepare for her new position, let the change be made quickly, decently, aad in order but let some authority that Frenchmen can trust be ready to frame a treaty before the enemy thunder at the gates of her capital. WANTED-A LEADER. Wk are now within six weeks of the annual election. Upon the result depends the politi cal complexion of the Legislature that is to apportion the S ate anew for Congressmen, Senators, and Representatives, and our dele gation to Congress may save or sacrifice lie publican supremacy ia that body. Although no State or national ticket is to be voted for, the election so close at hand is one of the greatest moment, and may control political events for years in the future. If the Legis lature should be lost, Democratic power would be assured in the State until destroyed by Democratic folly. It is strange indeed that a contest involving 80 much is entirely without general leader ship. A fraudulent attempt was made to usurp the Republican organization by Senator Cameren, through the agency of a so-called Congressional Committee, but the protest of the Republicans of the State was so pro nounoed that the open effort was abandoned. Mr. Oovode, the regular Chairman (who cannot have a regular successor until a State Convention is hell), called the State Com mittee together, and it was generally be lieved that the campaign was to be taken in hand with energy at once. But the commttee did nothing but chill the ardor of the Republicans by for mally discarding the issue of constitutional reform; and, having done its utmost to de stroy the vitality of the party, the general campaign was abandoned to chance. A sub committee was appointed to look after the doubtful districts, but, unfortunately, that eub-comniittee is more likely to promote dis cord than success. It is mainly managed by a prominent candidate for State Treasurer, who is operating under the shadow of Came ron. The care of the doubtful districts, therefore, means simply to force nominees who will serve the purposes of the "ring," defraud the people out of an honest Republi can reform movement, and extend our system of legislative debauchery until another United States Benatorship is auctioned off to per petuate the blistering shame of the State. There is no general, responsible head to the Republican party; no plan of organization; no 6jbtematio effort to secure unity of action and a full vote. The result is intrigue, cor ruption, and discord in many sections of the State. In Allegheny county two full Repub lican tickets are in the field, without any prospect of reconciliation, and a mixed or Democratic delegation in the Legislature is certainly possible. In Washington and Beaver, where . there is one thousand Republican majority in a full vote, the legis lative ticket is more than doubtful, and a Republican Congressman is likely to be sacri ficed in the war of faction. In the Erie and Crawford district, with r.000 Republican ma jority, the regular Senatorial nominee is likely to be beaten because of the frauds alleged in the primary elections, and the 1 egulative nominees are not entirely secure. In the Lycoming, Union, and Snyder district it is fear&d that Republican success has been sacrificed - to promote personal ends, and a Senator and three Representatives are placed in doubt, where there bhould be foo majority. In the double Senatorial district rumors are rife of subordinating the wishes of the people to promote the selfibh ends of Senatorial and Treasury rings, and if it be accomplished two Senators -and at least two Representatives will be lost. Candidates have been badgered by the corruptionists to pledge themselves to become the Bupple tools of thieves, under the threat of defeat in case they refuted. In Indiana and Westmoreland tLo tame c ies are producing Uta results, and ths Legislative ticket ia en dangered and the Congressman moro f,ka toubtu1. TUa suae way be. said of the Somerset, Bedford and Fulton, and the Franklin and Ferry Legislative dis tricts, and the evil may make Mr. Cessna's re-election to Congress improbable. In this city the rings have their richest harvest, aad their frauds hang like millstones npon the neck of the party. Legislative districts are regarded as a legitimate subject of barter, honest men are marked for defeat, and open disorganization in fostered against Mr. O'Neill beoanse he refunes to yield the proper independence of the Representative to politi cal peculators. Thus is a great party in leading-strings and the prey of political vampyren, without a single bold and skilful leader in position to harmonizo its internal strife and organize it for victory. Where is Mr. Covode ? Has he voluntarily abdicated to Cameron? If he was unwilling to take the helm he should have resigned, and asked the committee to appoint his successor. lie cannot escape just and fearful responsibility for disaster, if it shall come by his transfer of his power to irresponsible men who have their own selfish purposes to attain. The Union League still remains an organized political power, and if the appointed general has surrendered his post, let the League come to the front again and drive the money-changers and political brokers from the temple. The time is short, the oocasion urgent, and the great want is a competent and faithful Republican leader. The Reading Convention may or may not have accomplished much in propagating minority representation; but it has performed the good office of presenting to the people of the State the necessity of a radical change in our system of legislation. The resolutions adopted strike at the root of the great cancer that has been gnawing at the vitals ef the State when they demand purification by fun damental restrictions. On this point honest men of all parties agree, and it cannot become n any sense a party question. The Repub can State Committee committed a blunder that can be classed only as a crime by ignor ing the question, and the Democracy will doubtless avail themselves . of the advantage so foolishly offered them; but the mass of Republicans will act in good faith for restor ing our State Government to purity, without regard to the action of interested party leaders. A Ufaifhy Sion. The old-line Republi can Convention ef Allegheny nominated a ticket in the interest of the old Treasury ring, and then deolared for a Reform Con vention. When tubs are thrown out for whales, there must be whales about that are expected to be fooled by the tubs. When anti-reformers declare for reform, the popu lar demand for reform muBt be imperative.

The Perfection of the Art of Refining Whiskies. j P. HEVNER, Sole Proprietor, for the State of Pennsylvania, of the CELEBRATED "P. P." WHISKIES, Nos. 246 S. FRONT and I 17 DOCK St., Phila. It has been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain a very large percentage of impurities; the degree of heat that must necessarily be em ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxioua gaBes contained in the mabh, which when condensed form the deleterious fusel oil so detri mental to life and health; but, when indulged in to excess, the, result in Brain, Fever, De lirium Irtmaa, Apoplexy, Insanity, (tc. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are apt, even when only nsed sparingly as a stimulant, to create Nausea, tick Headache, In flammation, and Kidney JJitieaxes. . The 'T. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, "stimulate and eheer without unduly exciting the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest "product of the Cereals in vacuo, the pressure of the atmosphere being reduoed from 15 lbs. to 2 lbs. tathe tiquare inch;' consequently a temperature of only about 90 degrees of heat is re ouirftd in the operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CHARCOAL ESKENCES, EXTRACTS, DRUGS OK CHEMICALS OF ANY DESCRIPTION BEING USED hence the "P. P." Whiskies are not only delioate in flavor, but pure, wholesome, and innocuous as a beverage, retaining in Bimple purity the flavor of the cereals from which they were distilled. The "P. P." Whiskies have been tested by some of the most eminent of the Medioai Pacultv, by Analytical Chemists, and by the beat judges of Liquors in the United States, and pronounced perfectly pure and wholesome, and especially desirable for Family use and iiidical pwposfn. Members of the medical faculty, the trade, and the pnblio generally are cordially invited to call and inspect the machinery and process, and examine the liquors and the impurities extracted, at the Refinery and Warerooms, Nos. 246 South FRONT and 117 DOCK Street. This is the only process in operation in the State of Pennsylvania for refining whiskies ia "varmo " 7 80 etuth4ptf P. HEVNER.
