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

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.
