THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT. It is a grave question which party will have
a majority in the next Congress of the United
States. The Republicans expect to retain
their ascendancy, but the Democrats confi
dently assert that they will destroy it through
the aid ef the Southern conservatives, and
the oontest is so close that the future legisla
tion of the oountry may hinge upon the pro
ceedings in the imperilled Second district of
the State of Pennsylvania. Under these cir
cumstances, everybody who cares anything
about Republican principles should be will
ing to make some slight effort or sacrifice to
insure a Republican triumph in this great Phila
delphia stronghold of Republicanism. If our
politicians suffer the Democracy to capture
it through their divisions, bad management,
or incompetency, they deserve to be eternally
disgraced. And yet the groundwork of a
Democratic triumph has been so firmly laid
that it will require wise, prompt, and decisive
action to prevent it. The Democrats have
put a strong candidate in the field, and al
though we understand that Mr. Cuyler says
he has declined, his letter of declination has
not yet been given to the public, and the
Democratic leaders are holding it in reserve
for the purpose of inducing him at the last
moment to withdraw it, or, if he persists in
his declination, retaining their mastery of
the position, so that they can nominate
at the eleventh hour some man who can
concentrate the greatest possible amount of
Strength. While they are displaying this
astute strategy, the Republican Convention,
two opposing Republican candidates, the
City Executive " Committee, the State Central
Committee, and two rival Executive Commit
tees of the State Central Committee, have
made such a hopeless muddle of the question
who is the regular Republican nominee that
Republican voters don't know who has the best
claim to their suffrages; and as the case now
stands, if O'Neill and Creely both remain, in
tne neid,A uemocratio congressman win do
elected. We do not propose to espouse
the cause of either of these gentlemen, nor
to point out who is nearest right or who is.
most in the wrong. These questions have
been very thoroughly argued before bodies
which are supposed to be specially well
Tensed in all matters appertaining to regu
larity and irregularity, and the only practical
result has been to widen the original breach
instead of healing it, and to increase the
chances of a surrender of one of the wealth
iest, most important, and most thoroughly
, Republican districts in the Union to the
Demooracy at a moment when it is vitally
important that every atom of Republican
strength in Congress should be preserved.
The real question is not whether
O'Neill or Creely should be
sustained, or which one of half-a-dozen
committees has pronounced the most autho-
. ritative judgment, but whether the Re
publicans have got sense and patriotism
enough to out this Gordian knot, and to re
tain the power which they greatly need.
One simple way of settling the question
Would be by the retirement of both tb. rival
candidates, so that the coast may be cleared
for some new man whose election would be
beyond all doubt. Many voters feel that they
could be happy "with either were t'other
dear charmer away," but if both persist in
' running, both will be defeated, and
without deriving any personal advantage
from their persistency they wilTbring a de
feat of national importance upon the party
for which they both profess profound attach
ment It would be infinitely better if Mr.
O'Neill would content himself with the lau
rels he has already won during his prolonged
Congressional career, and if Mr. Creely
would postpone the gratification of his hono
rable and just ambition to a more auspicious
.period.
A resolution directing that the original
nominating convention should be reconvened
to-morrow was passed last week by one of
the executive committees. Its authority has
since been disputed, and its plan of patohing
np the difficulty may therefore be thwarted.
But as the election takes place in less than a
month, something must speedily be done to

saved at all. It is alleged that some par
ties have designedly prolonged this dispute
for the express . purpose of . enabling the
- Democrats to elect their candidate, with the
' ulteiior object of giving the Republican
patronage appertaining to the district. We
can scarcely believe this story, but if it is
true it Bnouia not omy arouse the deep lndig
nation of every Republican, but make every
honest voter determined to thwart such a
Tile effort to sell out a great party for a mess
of pottage. - And whether true or not, it is

field upon whom the whole organization can
oniU. : Let ua hear no more of the party of
Cesar or of Pomppy. Something niuat now
AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN EUROrE
Both parties to the European war look
gratefully to the United States, and both
seek encouragement in our example. "Avoid
ing armed and diplomatic interference, we
Btill exercise a more powerful influence upon
them than any of the contiguoui nations.
The Germans point to this oountry as an
illustration of the political and military
achievements of which their race is capable,
and they claim that the contrast between our
Republio and the Spanish-American abortions
is produoed by the inherent superiority of
the Anglo-Saxons over the Gauls and Spa
niards. The French, on the other hand,
since they have proclaimed a republic, base
their hope for future prosperity and great
ness not only upon their own exploits during
their first Revolution, but upon the wonder
ful results attained in this country under the
sway of free institutions. They look to our
system for deliverance from the depths of
despair, and their statesmen, orators, and
writers point to the great things done under
the banner of freedom in this country when
all other attempts to revive drooping hopes
and inspire heroic courage are fruitless.
In Spain and Italy, which are also in a per
turbed condition, the example of this ooun
try is constantly exercising a powerful influ
ence, and some of their republican leaders,
in conjunction with those of France and
Germany, have advanced the idea that the
true way to destroy present complications
and to avoid bloody dissensions in future is
to establish a grand government of United
States in Europe. This is but a vague dream
now: yet if the war is to go on; if Garibaldi
is to array his bands of Italian followers side
by side with new French levies; if Castellar's
advice to the republicans of Spain, bidding
them to get ready to aid France with arms, is
followed; if the feeling which is springing
up in portions of Germany, that her soldier
citizens should be rewarded for their bravery
and sacrifices by increased liberty, is resisted,
who can tell how soon this dream may assume
a tangible shape ?
The most hopeful solution of the present
war, however, is to be found in a speedy
peace. Long conflicts, whatever be their
avowed motive or their final issue, are dan
gerous to freedom on acoount of their inevi
table tendency to establish military despot
isms. France can do infinitely more for re
publicanism in Europe by demonstrating her
capacity to maintain a free government, and
to combine liberty with law and order, than
by Buicidal attempts to enforce freedom in
other nations at the point of the bayonet;
and twenty years of peaceful and prosperous
progression of a French republio would do
more to liberalize European institutions than
twenty aggressive conflicts.
If our example is rightly understood by the
liberal leaders of France they will accept a
prolongation of the war only as a dire neces
sity, and they will seek to improve in peaoe
the opportunity they have unex
pectedly gained by the destruction of
the empire. They will also avoid the
cesses which have brought discredit and de
feat upon their former efforts, and suppress
the dangerous agitators who abuse freedom
by their endeavors to demolish the whole
framework of society. Former revolutions
have nearly completed the work of demoli
tion. The old aristocracy, the Bourbons,
the Orleanists, the Bonnpartes, and the Em
pire have all been swept away. Now, if the
invaders can be persuaded or forced to retire,
the great work of French liberals will be no
longer to tear down, but to build up. Here
tofore, even when France was relieved of the
dominion of Kings and Emperors, she was
too busy in resisting foreign aggression, in
destroying old abuses, or in quelling domes
tic dissensions to enjoy real freedom. M.
Thiers concludes his history of the first
French Revolution with the declaration:
'Liberty was yet some day to come. She
has not yet come; but come she will." If
this great boon is to be gained now, it will
richly recompense France for the loss of her
regular army and the destruction of her
military supremacy, and if she needs assur
ances of the possibility of success, in spite of
her past failures, our example should fur
nish it.
TEE FRENCH CONVENTION.
The action of the Provisional Government
of France in ordering the election of a new
constituent assembly or constitutional con
vention cannot be too highly commended.
It will give the people of the whole nation an
opportunity to secure representation in their
own Government, and it will either confirm
the authority of those who are now in power
or pave the way for legal successors. The
present Government represents Paris rather
than France, and although it has passed into
an axiom that Paris is France, it is scarcely
fair to the provinces to consider that fact
fully established before thirty-eight millions
of people living beyond the barriers have
ratified, after some fashion, the proceedings
of t&e two millions who reside within them.
It is not unlikely that the vital question of
peace with Prussia may hinge, in some mea
sure, upon the character of the French gov
ernment. If a treaty is to be made King
William will be anxious to know that the
parties who undertake to speak for France
are fully qualified to do so. He cannot well
afford to accept promises to-day which may
be repudiated with a fair show of propriety
to-morrow, and it will not be singular if he
hesitates to acknowledge a Ministry which is
not regularly formed acoording to either re
publican, imperial, or monarchical rules. He
has no right to dictate a form of government
to France, but he has a right to demand thit
the persons who assume to treat with him on
behalf of France shall prove that they are
fully empowered to act for that country and
to bind her by their action. . '
The difficulties which may arise on this
score, as well as those which concern ' in
ternal administration exclusively, can be pro
vided for to a great extent by the proposed
election. The old Corps Legislatif was elected
under the pressure of such strong Napoleouio
lifuca:.s Uut a iu.j?:ity of iu Ciixisra
represent rather the defunct empire than the
nation, while the Ministry whioh now holds
power may be as suddenly "proclaimed" out
of office as it was "proclaimed into It. We
hope for better things, but the Provisional
Government has taken the best way to secure
them by asking the people, who are the real
source of all power, to give an authentio ex
pression of their will.
If France can pass triumphantly through
the excitement incident to the election of
this new Assembly, and if she chooses a
majority of members who are deeply imbued
with patriotism and prudence, her present
experiment may speedily ripen into a glorious
success. Her Republicans ought to know by
this time what dangers they must avert, and
we hope that they are not oblivious to the
warnings of the past.
The Evening City Item made its appear
ance on Saturday as an addition to the
journalistic family of Philadelphia, under the
editorial management of Fitzgerald it Co.,
which we take to mean the Colonel and his
"boys." Colonel Fitzgerald is an old and
experienced journalist, who has at his fingers'
ends all the ins and outs of newspaper manage
ment, and he has in his own family all the
material for an efficient editorial corps. Ilia
sons are well educated, and they have shown
themselves to be graceful, vigorous, and able
writers. They have been instructed in the
mysteries of journalism from their earliest
years; and that they have been well taught
was evident from the excellent make-up and
animated style of the first number of thp
Evening City Item. Many of the features
which made the old weekly City Item popular
are visible in the pages of the new daily,
although, as is proper, it has a rather more
stately and dignified appearanoe than its
predecessor. We opine, however, that the
City Item in its new, as it did in its old,
shape will represent the light cavalry of jour
nalism, and will be dashing and sprightly
rather than weighty. On Saturday good judg
ment was shown in omitting the usual in
augural address, and no verbal promises were
made as to what would be done in the present
or the future, the paper being allowed to
speak for itself. We cordially wish success
to this new venture, and have no doubt that
Colonel Fitzgerald, with the assistance of his
sons, will more than maintain the reputation
he has won during the years he has .kept his
sprightly weekly sheet before the public.
OBITUARY.
rord Northbrooke.
The Under-Secretary of War of Great Britain,
Lord Northbrooke, was supposed to have been
among those who went down with the Captain
off the coast of Spain. He was the sou of
Thomas Baring, and grandson of Sir Francis
Baring. In 1865 his father became a peer, and
in the next year died. His son, the second lord,
was born in 1S26, a ad consequently was in the
prime of his life when he met his watery grave
He has long been conspicuous In the Liberal
party, and was a man of great ability. Before
his appointment to the War Office, which was
on the return of Gladstone to power, he had
been Lord of the Admiralty and Unde-Socre
tary for India. In all these offices he has done
good service. His private character was with
out reproach. His son, Francis George Baring,
now twenty years of age, is the successor to his
estates and title.
Luther burnt a certain Papal bull, Pere Hyaelnthe
protested tbat he would be none of the "dumb dogs,'
but Professor Mlchaelis, amid the din and turmoil of
war, lifts up his voice In an "open accusation agalnBt
Pope Plus IX," for which, rather lgnomlnlously, he
has only been able to obtain a place in the German
papers among the advertisements. It Is rather a
curiously worded Indictment: "I, a sinful man, but
firm in the holy Catholic faith, herewith before the
face of God's Church openly and loudly accuse Pope
Plus IX as a heretic and destroyer of the Church.''
That Is the beginning. The substance of the aocu
satlon Is, of coarse, the Infallibility, which is "not
founded on tradition," but "directly contradicts the
constitution of the Church Instituted by Christ," and
by which this Pope "has dared to introduce the god
less system of Absolutism into the Church." Ills
right thas publicly to gainsay the Pope, the Profes
sor concludes, is founded upon the canonical sen
tence whereby, according to Innocent III, every
Pope "who is a heretic is subject to the Judgment oi
the Church if he strives to ruin this same Church."

0- TO JOHN COVODE, ESQ., CHAIR
MAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10, 1870.
Sib:
Your letter of the 7th inst., informing me
that I em not Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Republican State Central
Com mittee, and that none of the gentlemen
who sign the action of that committee, under
date of September G, are members of the
same, has been duly received.
Pernjit me to express, in behalf of the
committee and myself, surprise that simulta
neous with my receipt of your letter I find
the same promulgated to the publio in the
advertising columns of the daily press.
I would submit for your information that
at the meeting of the State Committee held
at Altoona, August 1G, 1870, Mr. Patterson,
of Juniata county, offered the resolution
directing that the dispute in the Second Con
gressional District be referred to the Execu
tive Committee, and that both the parties be
afforded an opportunity to be heard before
that committee.
Mr. Heistand, of Lancaster, desired to be
informed who the gentlemen were consti
tuting that Committee. Either Mr. Quay or
Mr. Hammersly, Secretaries of the State
Central Committee, announced as the Com
mittee Mr. Leeds, Chairman; Messrs. Elliott,
Tittermary, and Miller, of Philadelphia;
Mackay, of Allegheny; Scranton, of Lu
zerne; and Garrettson, of Schuylkill. You
accepted, without a single remark; nor
was there an expression from any gentle
man present'laking exceptions to the gentle
men named as constituting the Committee
appointed by yourself last year. The gentle
men constituting this Committee assisted
Treasurer Bingham during the last canvass in
obtaining funds, and under your and his in
struction expended moneys, adjusted diffi
culties, and performed every function per-
taining to an executive committee.
The Committee, of which I am Chairman,
accepted the re sponsibility placed upon it by
the general committee, at Altoona, and in
sincere observance of the responsibility of
the resolution, notified Messrs. Creeley and
O'Neill that they would be afforded an oppor
tunity to be heard in the. matter of their dis
pate before the sub-committee. At the first
and second meetings of the sub-committee
there was no quorum, but at the third meet
ing, a quorum being present, an examination
was entered into, and a conclusion arrived at
which the Committee believe would bring har
mony to the party in that district.
This committee, from its announcement in
the meeting at Altoona, up to the date of its
final action, acted in accordance with the
spirit of the State Central Committee's reso
lution, and for the good of the Republican
party.
You never officially notified me or the com
mittee that we were not the Executive Com
mittee until your published letter of the 7th
instant. What you assume now to be the
Executive Committee is either of recent ap
pointment, or you permitted the general
committee at Altoona to be deceived as to
who constituted it. That we were appointed
as an Executive Committee by you and per
formed the duties during the last campaign
is and was certainly the opinion of the under
signed. Whether or not you had two Exe
cutive Committees is best known to your
self.
Mr. Dickinson, so far as I am aware, did
not act as Chairman of any Exeoutive Com
mittee during the last campaign. Mr. II. G
Jones also states that he never knew he was
on any eommittee. In fact, no one of the
committee knew anything about it except Mr,
Pennypacker; how he obtained his informa
tion, you are probably aware of.
My reputation, and the good name of the
gentlemen associated with me, is as well
known in this community as your own; the
unwarrantable allegation contained in your
letter of the 7th inst. forces me, in view of
the reoent honor which the party have ten
dered me, to publish this statement.
I respectfully request that the State Central
Committee be reconvened and the question
settled as to who constitutes the Exeoutive
Committee. Should you determine to.ig
nore my request, I would respectfully tender
to the State Committee my resignation of
membership. Very respectfully,
" WILLIAM It. LEEDS.
As members of the Exeoutive Committee
of the State Central Committee, we endorse
the statements set forth in Mr, William R.
Leeds' letter, and unite with him in request
ing the reconvening of the General Commit.
tee for the purpose named. Should you de
termine to ignore this request, we would re
spectfully tender to the State Committee our
resignations of membership.
Yours, respectfully,
Charles A. Miller,
R. C. Tittcbmabv,
W. Elliott.
