4 THE DAILY EVENING ' TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1870. toting $tlcgtpli FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1870. CT The Evening Telegraph, from Its original establishment, has been in the receipt of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Press, which consists of the Tribum, Times, Herald, World, Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post, Commercial Advertiser, and E vetting Ex Qrtx. The success which has attended our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia bility of the news which we have received from this source. Last March wc entered into a special contract by which The Evening Telecraph has the exclusive use of the news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated Press to its own members, the North American, Inquirer, Ledger, Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat, of this city, and the leading journals of the East, North, West and South; and hereafter The Telegraph will be the only evening fapcr published in this city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press will appear. THE ADVANCE ON PARTS. Thjb rruwiiaDfl steadily continue their advance on Paris, and as there are no French armies capable of resisting it, the invaders will soon be encamped under the walls of the capital. The great problem of the war is what is to follow Ibis foregone conclusion. If wise counsels prevail, the natural result will be a speedy peace, without further devastation and bloodshed. Already there are signs of such ft termination of this extraordinary campaign. There baa usually been an im plied understanding among the continental nations that close approach to an adverse capital ahould be the signal for a termination of hostilities, and the Prussians set out with the intention of con quering a peace by forcing their way to the environs of Paris. The moral effect of the triumphs they have already achieved is manifest not only in the downfall of the Em pire, but in the suppression of the clamor made before the ba tie of Sedan against any negotiations whatever, and in the surrender of the doctrine that the invaders must be forced beyond the Rhine before a treaty oould be framed. It is rumored that the new French authorities are now willing to treat on any basis which does not involve a loss of French territory, and instead of the mediation of foreign powers being contemp tuously rejected, it is earnestly solicited by the new Republic. There is a rumor that the diplomatic corps will go in a body to the King of Prussia if they can agree on terms of adjustment, . and another that the Ministers of Italy and England will under take this friendly office, while another state m cnt avers that M. Thiers has gone as a volunteer diplomatist to the camp of the in Taders. These statements show at least the drift of publio sentiment in Paris, and as there are counter rumors from Berlin and the headquarters of the German army giving outline sketches of the conditions likely to be demanded, it is fair to assume that both parties are convinced that the time for negotiation is near at hand. If King William oonfinea himself strictly to the objeot he announced at the commence ment of the war, the future security of Germany, there need be no trouble whatever in concluding peace. If he marched his army home without a word on the subject of treaty stipulations, there wouU be little danger of another French attack on Germany daring this generation, for written guarantees' or territorial acquisitions will add little weight to the sanguinary lessons taught at Weissen burg, Gravelotte, and Sedan. The French are bo completely at his mercy, however, that he will be Btrongly tempted to make extor tionate demands, and it remains to be seen whether he can be as magnanimous in the hour of victory as he was terrible in war. If conditions are imposed which the repub lio cannot possibly oonsent to, its fortunes are, at the worst, not absolutely desperate. The present fortifications of Paris were erected at vast expense for the express pur pose of enabling France to prolong a contest after all her armies in the field were de stroyed. If engineering science is not at fault, and if the preparations which have been made during the last month have not been grossly exaggerated, the capital can be de fended even against the conquering army now approaching it Time can at all events be gained; allies may be found by the republic among nations which ref osed to assist the empire; England, Italy, Austria, and Russia may resent the disdainful recep tion of their remonstrances; the chilling blasts of the autumn and winter months may diminish the vigor of the invading armies; Franoe may yet organize out of her raw levies effeotive forces; and the whole aspect of the war may be changed. It will be better for the Prussians, if they merely regard their own interests, to destroy the possibility of such complications by framing at onoe an advantageous treaty. They have humbled France, and they will gain little, while they may lose much, by driving her to despair. In Fkance the empire fell as soon as the Emperor was captured, and in Eugland pub lio business lags on account of the Queen's visits to Balmoral, but in America we have things so fully systematized that it matters not where the heads of government may re sort r what happens to them, as the machine runs itself. The country prospered even under Andy Johnson, and if Grant should happen to extend one of his pleasure excar tioLk far fuongh westward to be captured by lied n..ivl, the rt pnLlic would at'.U Ikj alive HI tl L." Lit '!. DEVELOPMENT OF GERMANY. Tim event of the last month, besides their substantive force, are the more and more amazing the more and more they are con sidered, and those that musk follow them within the ourrent month will most probably add perplexity to the astonishment whloh of itself almost confounds our sptoultttious. The downfall of a French dynasty and the erection of a republio in a day is net such a novelty as need occasion muoh surprise, but we my well wonder at the complete destruc tion of an army that was held to be the finest, bravest, best officered in Europe, in ths space of a little month, and at the faot that it was outgeneraled in every manoeuvre and beaten in every battle by a nation whioh, within the lifetime of its commander-in-chief, was the common duelling ground of the continental nations; her forts garrisoned by foreign sol diers, and her fortunes the sport of her ene mies In 180( the whole military piwer of Prussia was crushed in the battle of Jena. From thHt time till the fall of Napoleon in 1815 ber fortresses were occupied perma nently by French troops. Jnst then, or only fifty-five years ago.her king rallied 4,his people for the field of Waterloo by culling on them to throw off the French yoke." But the year of the great historio battle was not the new era of Prussian history. In the three following years the productive industry of North Ger many, which had flourished under Napoleon's blockade of the continent agtinst English imports, went down under foreign compe tition, and unusual distress drove tbe Kiug upon the policy of the Zollverein league, which has fostered German industry iver since. In 1818 it was established by Prussia and the two Srartzburg principalities, snd it grew by the accession of other German States, until now it embraces a population as large as that of the United States of America. Profane history, the annata of vulgar enthu siasm, punctuate national adventures with great battles, coronations, and politioal revo lutions. Providenoe marks the progress of peop'es by the movements that develop men. Just at the time that the Prussian monarch inaugurated the system of industrial inde pendence among his people he adopted also that sys em of common school eduoati.tn whioh ha made men of the masses. The labor of the nation guarded against invasion, military and literary education striotly en forced for fifty years, and the riddle of Ger man supremacy in Europe is read. Half a century ago military men heM that tbe nearer a soldier was reduoed to a ma hine the better. Our own reoent history and tb.it whioh is now making in Europe shows that the muskets which think are sure to vanquish those that are only drilled. The chineot has a somewhat longer range than the needle gun, but the men that invariably hold their fire end maroh within a hundred yards of the foe before they pall a trigger sweep every thing before them against all advantages of arms and position. The courage of a frantio enthusi ism is no match for the courage of character. Men are every way better than machines. For half a century Prussia has carefully cultivated the brains of her chil dren, provided and defended self-supporting industry for her men, and in that time has gathered in and consolidated into an effeotive government some twenty or thirty little prin cipalities which to-day, as the United States of Germany, oommand the fortunes of Eu rope. In this brief period, first Austria, next England, and now France, and all to gotber, are below her in power. But this wonderful story will take a turn unless her rulers are guided by wisdom and their objects are ruled by justice and benefi cence. If during this eventful month of September Bhe takes the Apostle's advioe, and makes her moderation known to all men, her g'ory will henceforth equal her goodness. The immediate future of Europe depends upon the civil and military staff of King William. Modern civilization owes so muoh to the race which they represent that we may well hope from them the other reformations, economical and civil, which Europo so muoh needs. Whoevor would look deeply into the causes of the events we have witnessed and those we wait for will do well to read and reread Madame de Stael's "Germany," recollecting that it iras written in 1810, and correcting it by the changes wrought into the character and condition of North Germany sinoe her day. The literature of the Frenoh Revolu tion is mere folly in the light of this book. It is German in philosophy, morals, religion, and economy, and the Germany and France of to-day represent the differences. It is good to know by the demonstrations of na tional experience that principles have force, and that the facts of history follow and vin dicate them. Ths agents of the Government have been set at defiance by Congressman R. R. Butler, of Tennessee, who is charged with forgery and fraud upon the Pension Bureau and with other offenses, that, if proved against him, ought to secure him a billet in the peniten tiary for the balance of his days. After weeks of delay, during which all the details of But ler's crimes and the supposed intentions of the officers of the Pension Bureau to bring him to justice were allowed to be published in every newspaper in the country, an agent was sent out to Tennessee to procure his arrest. The ostensible intention was to bring Butler to Washington, where his principal crimes are said to have been com mitied, for the purpose of having him tried in one of the courts of the District of Columbia. Butler, however, contrived to have his case brought before a Tennessee Judge, and after the farce of a trial, in which none of the witnesses against him were pro duced, the . case was dismissed for want of evidence. The agents of the Pension Bureau, it is said, were threatened and abused by the friends of Butler, and there appears to be s settled determination on the part of this model Congressman - to prevent , a legal investigation into his transactions and to defy justice. Not tbe least re mailable part of the aftnir ba I een the conduct of the Pension Bureau; and if it wished Butler either to make his eaoape or to adopt the stjle of taotios he has, it oould not have managed things better. There is a splendid field for ft Congres sional committee to work in here, and we hope ainoere'y that this whole affair will be probed to the bottom, without fear, favor, or partiality, so soon as C.ngrB meets. VICE-A DMIliAL ROWAN. Vlcc-Admlral Stephen C. Rowan, just ap pointed by the President to that office from tke rank of Rear-Admiral, was born in Ireland, Dtcember 23, 1805.
