8ATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1870.
S3" The earliest ' regular edition of The
Eventno Teleobaph goes to press at lj
o'olook, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2, 3, and 4. Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be burned after
this hour, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
the peace prospects.
The prospect that a' speedy peace will be
conoluded between France and Prussia nre a
little more assuring to-day than they were
yesterday, although there has actually been
no positive movement towards bringing about
suh a happy result. The Queen of England
has written a private letter to the Queen of
Frussia beseeching her influenoein persuading
the King to be satisfied with the magniftcont
victories he has won, and publio sentiment
throughout America and Europe appears to
coincide in esteeming the present a favor
able time for putting a stop to
the terrible carnage that has
shocked the world during the last six weeks. .
That France will receive any subetnatial as
sistance from any of the European govern
ments, unless the situation changes very
materially, is not probable. The establish
ment Of a republic has served to place an
awkward impediment in the way of some of
the governments who might be disposed to
interfere for the sake of preventing Prussia
from realizing too great advantages from the
war, and praotically France has not a single
friend among the rulers of Europe, however
muoh the people who are ruled may sympa
thize with her. In this crisis the action
of the United States Government, we are
happy to say, has been in an eminent degree
jaiicious and proper. The President re
sponded promptly to the appeal for recogni
tion and sympathy made by France, and the
profound feelings of gratitude shown in
Parish when it was learned that the United
States had recognized the republic and ex
tended their good wishes, cannot fail to touch
the heart of every Amerioan lover of liberty,
and to draw the two nations closer than ever
together. President Orant has also done
another commendable action in deciding not to
unite with any of the European Governments
to interfere in any way, but offering the me
diation of the United States if the bellige
rents fehould desire it. To do more than
' this would be a violation of the sound polioy
that has guided us in such matters from the
foundation of the Government; but this
much we may do without disparagement to
ourselves or of the interests of either con
testant. The King of Prussia, whatever else
may be said of him, is undoubtedly a pious
man; and all his despatches during the pre
sent war have shown that, in spite of his na
tural exultation at the magnificent sucoess
of his armies, he has been profoundly
shocked at the terrible soenes he
has passed through, and if the
French now show a disposition to lay down
their arms, we believe that he will not be in
favor of imposing unnecessarily harsh terms
upon them. On the other hand, the French
can gain nothing , by prolonging the contest
exoept the gratification of wounded pride,
and a further continuance of the war can
only result in the further impoverishment of
both nations, and an accumulation of slaugh
tered men upon the soil of France.' We hope,
therefore, that the present peace prospects
may sot be altogether illusive, but that both
France and Prussia will endeavor to gain the
applause of mankind by bringing the war to
an honorable conclusion without more delay.

QEItMAN UNITY.
WV publish to-day a remarkable letter from
David Strauss, the celebrated German scholar,
ou German Unity, in which the underlying
causes of the present war, as they are under
stood in the Fatherland, are stated with great
ability. It will be Been that in his opinion
the whole nation has been anticipating and
preparing for the present conllict, and - that,
with the galling memory of French triumphs
fresh in their recolleotior, they have nerved
themselves for the tremendous effort which
has told so fearfully on the French legions.
Events have shown that this German resist
ance bore a fearful disproportion to the force
it was called upon to combat, and it is plain
that a people rose on the one side to crush
the standing army massed on the other. An
undoubted necessity for the preparations for.
a conflict existed, but the masses of France
were not, like the masses of Germany, ready
for the struggle. While the statesmen of the
empire had grown jealous of German unity,
and while French writers and French soldiers
longed for an opportunity to reassert the
supremacy of their nation, the great body of
the citizens of Franoe had become so' aeons
tomed to leaving State affairs to the exclu
sive management of Napoleon that they gave
no heed to German growth, and made no in
dividual preparations to check it. The war
bo suddenly and so' foolishly declared by the
Emperor may have been popular in a general
sense, but it was certainly not imperatively
demanded by the popular will, and it
awakened no wild entuususm. This fact
should be borne in mind in imposing
condition upon the new republic. There is
ft tendency dinplayed by nearly all German
writers to exaggerate the responsibilities of
l&g f roacli people, tad if tkia error can be
corrected, tho conquerors will be in a better
mood to offer moderate terms of poaoe.
France, after all, hAS been victimized, . as
Germany was in former timu, by the folly of
a tyrant, and her people should not be held
to too rigid a responsibility for events which
they could not control.
Mr. 8trauss claims that while the Germans
have been correcting their great na
tional errors or weaknesses, the Frenoh
have not lost their old love of
glory, and their readiness to risk their own
welfare and to disturb the peace of the world
in mad efforts to win the honor of bloody
and barren victories. Hut even he would
scarcely press this point since the French
armies have been so fearfully humiliated; and
if France is suffered to peacefully establish a
prosperous republic, she wiM find in assured
liberty so rich a recompense for military
supremacy that she may never wish to re
gain it.
THE RULES OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
We published yesterday a lengthy review of
the existing rules of the Republican party of
this city, and of the systems of party
management adopted in some of the interior
counties. On Monday next a convention
will meet to consider the whole subject, and
it is to be hoped that it will be wise enough
to purify and popularize the Republican par
tisan machinery in this city. There is a
splendid opportunity to strengthen the Re
publican organization by infusing firmness
and justice into its primary deliberations, and
it should not be neglected. Half of the dele
gate elections under the present system are
either farces or frauds. In many cases it
is the greatest rascal that wins,
and tho will of the people
has no more influence in bringing about the
nominations which are proclaimed than the
age of the moon. Such proceedings are a
disgrace not only to the Republican party,
but to the republic, and if they are not
speedily reformed the nation must pay a fear
ful penalty for their continuance. Rowdies,
blacklegs, thieves, drunkards, and loafers
have too long monopolized the power and
privilege of making nominations for decent
citizens; and no pains should be scared to
call out a better constituency at the primary
meetings of the party. The Crawford
county system has more fully served this
purpose than any other which has yet been
devised. In Lancaster county it brings
nearly as many Republican voters to tho
primary elections as to the general elections,
and when the people turn out en mnsse in
this manner their will prevails over all the
arts of intrigue and corruption. If the con
vention which is to meet on Monday will give
us this system, we do not doubt that it will
work good results to the party and to the
city, but if the wire-pullers will not let the
people have the privilege of arranging their
affairs in this manner, let them see to it that
a first-rate substitute is devised.
Tin: destruction of the regular army of
France was not an unmitigated misfortune.
These troop3 were the bulwark of imperial
ism. Although they were incompetent, as
events have proved, to resist invasion, they
were invincible. against insurrection. While
Napoleon hed Bazaine, MacMahon, and half
a million of well-drilled soldiers under his
command, he had nothing to fear from re
publican (gitators, and to ensure the down
fall of the Empire it was neoessary that he
should first pave the way for the destruction
of its powerful military defenders.

PARIS FREPABISO FOR REVOLUTION.
F wallah Vlewi .f the OrtaU.
1 he London Tnwaiaph, of August &, observes that
It is "easy to understand how the unsatisfactory
character of the relations between the French Par
liament and the Frenoh Executive operate at the
present moment. The Ministry represents the In
terests both of the dynasty and of the country, and
It is more than doubtful how far those Interests arc
Identical. The notion, indeed, that Prussia was
making war against the empire, not against France,
and that the restoration of peace could be at once
secured by the abdication or deposition of the Em
peror, has long been dispelled by the evidence of
fsct, even if it wan ever seriously entertained in
France. The real danger which threatens he em
pire Is from within, not frcm without; and the Mon
tauban ministry is bound, In every step that It may
take, to consider, not only how that step may affect
the fortunes Of tne wa'.but how it may influence
the welfare of the relgidng dynasty. Thus, lor In
stance, there Is a prevalent belief in France that if
the nation were aroused there would be such a levy
m inaMit as would render the Prussian advance Im
possible '' The Telraraph sees no reason to imagine
that this Impression Is correct. On thecontrarv.lt
believes that the wholesale armament oi the nation
would be at once Impracticable and useless. Tne
(lovernment Is probably of the same opinion. Un
lortunaiely, whatever result the distribution of
arms and the enrolment of the whole nation
might produce npon the campaign, It wou d be likely
to produce armed outbreaks against the empire; anil
therefore the ministers are naturally suspected of a
reluctance to do what is best for the country from
the rear of Jeopardizing the dynasty. The same
remark applies with even greater force to the pre
parations lor defending Paris against a siege Tnst
the capital can ever be held agaimt an army which
has marched through France up to its walls is an
idea which doubtless finds nt favor with practical
men like Montatiban. Nevertheless, it Is still the
firm conviction of the Parisians that they could rival
the exploits of .Suragossa; and the obvious hesita
tion of the Ministry to arm, fortify, and provision a
city of fome two millions for a lengthened siere ia
popularly aiti United to a terror lest tne population
of Paris should use their weapons ti throw up barri
cades and proclaim the republic. Unless public ex
citement be soothed by an early victory or tempered
into sobriety by an overwhelming defeat, Parts must
soon take the first step in the path of revolution.
THE MLRFREESB0U0' SHEITARD.
ICxlriiordlonrT Prreeverwooe of a Negro Thief.
The Tennessee Monitor of a late date says:
There is a negro in our county jad now who glories
in the name or Amos Sheppard. lie was sent there
about a year ago for the larceny of goods from the
store of Mr. E, Hosenfeld. He is the most incorri
gible scoundrel within Its walls, having been almost
unceasing in hi eiforts to get out, notwithstanding
the factor his having been chained to the floor during
niont or his stay there. Not lung ago he made a plot
with some or his rellow-prlsoners to kill his jailer in
order to effect his escape. - But his last effort, which
was detected and brought to nought last Tuesday
morning by Mr. Arnold, is an instance of a long, pa
tient, and persevering struggle for liberty which has
rarely been excelled in the history o men who have
made the most desperate efforts for that sacred
I loc n. The atory of Monte Christo cutting his way
for fourteen years through tho solid rock walls of his
prison in the Chateau de K. Is a fancy sketch of
Alexander Dumas' brain; Vut the st'iry of Amoa
sheppard, colored, cutting hia way through a throe
lnth oak plank floor, and through a sleeper twenty
inches thick, and a tcrwards burrowing through the
ground like a mole for ten feet, with no other in'
strnment than a simple twenty-penny nail, Is tho
history of an actual fact which was
brought to a conclusion last Tuesday
morning by Mr. Arnold, the Jailer. He had sharp
ened his nail on the Iron gates of his cell until he
got it Into the shape of a chisel, and had been en
gaged in his enterprise about three months when
caught. He had been in the habit of working at
night and sleeping all day on his little pallet over the
hole that he had made on the floor, lie had already
made his way to the back wall or the prison, and
there is no doubt that lu two more nights every
obstacle between him and liberty would have been
removed had it not been lor an inauspicious move
ment or Mr. Arnold, which cut off his retreat. He
has since been removed to another cell, and wears
In the way or an outfit a new set or shackles, and Is
pinioned tighter than ever to the floor, where he
can at leisure cogitate over the vanity ot earthly
hopes.
