THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1870. A FFA 111 1 X ICA SS I 3. Krmm Politic Han. Nlrtnev t'lnrke-Knn MM Newapapera-Clty (4rviha K.tnbll.ti. ment of Nevrnpnper. From Our Otvn Correspondent-. Leavenworth, Kansas, Sept. 8. Politicians in this State are busy. The Republican Htate Convention meets at Topeka to-day to nominate their candidates, aad as the State is overwhelmingly Republican, a nomination is tantamount to an election. Tbe biggest fight will be for the one seat in Congress.' The present Representative, Hon. Sidney Clarke, has served three terms, and is try ing hard to seoure a re-election; but there ap pears to be a very decided and strong oppo sition to his renourination, mainly on aocount of his connection with a ring known as the Black Bob Robbery, to get possession of the Shawnee Indian lands in Johnson county. KANSAS NEWSrAriiltH. The rapid settling up of the State from all parts of the" world gives grent activity to newspaper enterprise. It is tho character of this people that oven the most remote settle ment must be within reach of a church, School-house, and newspaper ornce, and as new communities Hfe springing up in every direction, the opportunity for starting a news paper is readily made available. Starting a newspaper hero is not so great a financial un dertaking as at the East. A number of settlers find themselves within easy reach of one another on tho bank of some pleasant stream. They see chances for speculation, and trading in town lots at first pays better than raising corn. In com mon with most settlements in Kansas they have good land, fine seasons, ard good limestone for building purposes to offer the immigrant, but these settlers are remote from railroad communication, and their advantages are not known outside of their vicinity. To join the universal chorus of tooting, they are ambitious to acjuiro a penny whistle of their own, and to this end get some active-minded newspaper aspirant to join them, and at the expense of a few hundred dollars, raised by gonoral assess ment ttart with a second-haul out fit. When once set going it is tho jour nalist's own fault if ho does not get along. Being his owji editor, compositor, and press man, his expenses cannot be heavy, and even if his subscription list brings bim in nothing for the first year, if diligent he can derive enough revenue from advertisements and job work to pay hia paper and ink bills. Ilia board and clothing need not trouble him, as the editor of a pnpor in this section can com mand such influence as toj bo regardod a fall equivalent for the creature comforts of life. After a year or so of this chrysalis existence the newspaper man finds population gather ing around; his circulation and influence in creasing, his village lots gaining in value, and if he has the right stulf in him he finds a future opening which will amply repay for the privations and hard work experienced at the beginning. This city of Loavenworth is a beautiful place and tho commercial metropolis of Kan sas, and finds her business improves with the constant accessions of a sterling population to Kansas., Tho amount of business done last year exceeds $10,000,000, and this year will be much larger. No location west of the Missouri river is better adapted for an ex tensive commerce and the establishment of manufacturing than this city. It is on a hill on the west bank of the river, enjoying every facility of water and railroad communication in all directions; a splendid wrought-iron bridge is now being constructed from the city across the Missouri river. "West and north of the city stands Fort Leavenworth, the most considerable military post in the whole Department of the West. General Fope, the department com mander, has lately removed his headquarters from St. Louis to this place, and extensive additions are now being made to tho already large number of buildings. Perhaps the most important advantage to this city is the opening of a valuable coal mine upon the north side of the town. This affords the citizens a cheap supply of fuel mined at their doors. The coal is the best quality of bituminous, and the shaft is 710 feet deep. A strong impetus is thus given to build up an extensive manufacturing interest here. There are already several manufacturing establishments, and, with the rich agricultural country surrounding, a constantly-increasing business in this lin may be expected. Nothing should stand in the way of this place beooming the centre of great manufacturing wealth. To afford an incentive to capital to seek this mode of employment, the City Council recently passed a resolution offering a royalty of three per cent, on all new manufacturing enterprises started in this city up to $10,000, which shall be applied as capital in that class of business. Fbitz. A BOO V 8 BOURBOX. A Double of Charlta X Appealing to PhlladeU phla far Alain. The question "Have we a Bourbon among us?" used to be an every-day one, but it has long since ceased to agitate the public. Below we give a reprint of a curious advertisement which appeared in a Philadelphia paper on June 18, 824. At this time the actual Charles X was par. mount la French politics, and a few months afterwards ascended the throne, on the death of his brother, Louis XVIII. Now that another royal family of France has started on iu wanderings over the world, the appeal of the bogus Bourbon will be read with interest. We may soon have some bogus Bonapartes amongst ns. The advertisement reads: The Dauphin of t ranee to the CitUeni of Philadelphia. THE French Consuls in tbe United States of America, who hare been Instructed by the public papers, and by myself, of my claim that of being the son of Louis XVI aud who have been unwilling to Kraut me means by which hit fatn'ly (the house of Bourbon aud his Maiesly the Emperor of Austria) could be Instructed of my existence aud pretensions ; thete suine Consuls have refused me all assistance, to prevent me from reaching my country, wbere their characters could be made known. The Supreme Kuler will nut sutler the guilty to pass unpunished, aud will prove that sooner or later the virtuous and wise will meet their due reward. Having spebt twenty-live years of my existence both with the army and populace of France Is suffl cltiit for my satisfaction to kno that the people la genWal did not participate la the destruction of my parents hence it Is that I recognize the French l a'-iou the tele tel.- of uy rights suouid dU arrudt sue before 1 ascend l&e throne pi wy aacescora. I have nftver been married 1 have no children-1 acknowledge none. I wall the result of my fa'e, which cannot long be procrastinated, considering tho weak state of my health, which has been aggravated by various drug, administered to me for the purpose of destroying ttie facilities of mi mind. In order that I should become an Idiot. Of death I entertain no fear j if I did It would be only newssary to take a retrospective view of the cruel end of my father and mother, to mane life odious. one moment could deliver me from such a hard fate, bnt I belong to the French nation, and shall mi stain the Justice of my causcj and struggle against adversity with unsubdued spirit, and show myself worthy of being tho son of Ixmis the XVI. The long persecutions which 1 have encountered have deprived me of the means of conveying tne there. 1 havo therefore opened a voluntary sub scription, that those who commiserate my situation may aid me In recovering those rights so long lost, for which, in more prosperous days, I will express my acknowledgments. 1 can be personally seen at No. 78 South street, Philadelphia. CHARLES X, June 11 It Rois ilea Francals et de Navarrois. LOUIS KLAXC Ills View in tht Krrne.li CrlU-,lIonnrnhlpal Anxiety Tor tlm luiiierml Denpulixui. M. Louis ltlanc, dating la London on the 14th of Angust,wrote as folluws to tho Parts Temp: llow is it possible to rea l without a sliuddor the articles with which tlm London Tims invokes In our behalf the protective mediation of the neutral powers, addng, "Let tliera make haste, let them make haste; soon, perhaps, It may be too late!'' It is true the London 'limn does not ask that they should Implore peace for us upon any harsh or hu miliating tetms, it does not ofl'er ui that insult. B it, in fact, it holds that lu expiation of tli- policy of the man whom we have allowed to remain at our head, It would not lc too much to condemn us to defray the cxpci.i-cs of the war. What! ara we thou reduced after three partial dereats to this ex tremity to tlnd no other means of safety than in the friendly feelings of J-ngliHlimen, or their desire to preserve Intact the old system of the European balance oi power? The Indescribable lack of fore sight with which the igrril for this disastrous war was given, the Incomprehensible Ignorance of the forces with which a coufliit was so lierccly desired ; the madness of plans based upon hypotheses since discovered to he complete ly absurd, "the absence, too evident now, of preparation commensurate with the nature of the euterprl.se, the complete absence of strategy, the Incompetence of the directing mind, the accumulation of faults which converted the battle-fields into mere slnuphter-hous'-ti have all these things become so evident to the English th.it at once they consider that they render wholly supeifluous the value of our soldiers those incom parable soldiers whoso almost fabulous heroism everywhere has excited expressions of admira tion, and of whom many caunot speak without tears ? What country, then, would be capable of sustaining Itself in the" hour of supreme danger If it be not that which possesses such children? But there are a great many Englishmen who believe France to be unconquerable that is to say, If in stead of belonging to such man, or to such a" family, or to such a party, she belongs to herself. We can not avoid being Impressed with that patriotism which silences recriminations, suppresses resent ments, and postpones reproaches, and which will not allow civil disseusiou to Intervene as an aux iliary to the invaders. Hut It Is Inconceivable that France, condemned to expiate so many faults com mitted apalDst her, should continue to accept the orders of him by whom they have beeu committed, l'eople are astonished that Frenchmen, without dis tinction of party, do not agree among themselves to deprive the author of this fearful state of things of the power of making it still more fearful. It is not a mere question of recrimination, of retribution or of party, but it is a question of public safety. To morrow how can we avoid thinking of to-inorrow? Til's Is so evident that the Time since the Crimean war the KHfjiinh Muniteur of ttonapartism uttered a few davs back the word "abdication." Not that the English consider that the safety of France should be purchased at the price of a violent revolution, but they are of opinion that at the point at which things are threatening to arrive-at the point, indeed, which they have already attained the only method of preventing Internal commotions from being added to the calamities of war is by common agreement, removing the pretexts for them. Power must no longer bo left In the hands which have made so lamentable a use of it. It must not be that at a moment when every Frenchman should have but one Idea lu his mind he should have two pressing upon him. The necessity of pre serving Fiance must not be contemplated for tho sake of the Imperialists by a necessity of saving the dynasty. It must not be that to the friends of liberty, whosoever they may be, the victory of the country should appear to be Involved In a revival of despotism. A desire to spare the Imperial pres tige from decisive blows must not Induce those w ho arc In the secret of the real state of things to disguise the truth.or to mislead men's minds as to the extciit of the faults that have been committed at the risk o( driving France from one Illusion to another until It should become swallowed up In an abyss. A THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Another (.rent Campalcn One Fought Over the I'reHPDt llatile-Kleloa. It Is certainly one of the greatest curiosities la history that exactly one thousaud years ago, in the year of our Lord 670, the people of France and tier many fought under their kings upon the same soil, that of Lorraine, for very nearly thi same reasons, and wltn the same result. This happened as follows: The empire oi Charlemagne aud that of bis son who succeeded h'm, Ludwlg I, called the Pious, was divided by his three sons, the grandsons of Charlemagne, In 643, at the Congress of Verdun, betweeu them selves in such a manner that Lothalre received, be sides the title of Emperor, Italy and what was then called Middle Franconia, a strip of land running from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, and there Joining Upper Italy, a broad strip of land containing modern Holland, Belgium, the Lorraine, the Aisce, and all that part of Southern France lying between the Rhone and Saone and the Alps on the etist. Lud wlg received Eastern Franconia, which was from that time called (Jermania, or Germany, and from which he, as Germany a nrst king, was called Lud wlg the German. Carl, who was called the Bald, from his bald head, received Western Franconia, from that time called Franconia or France. Lothalre died la 855, aal again subdivided his empire amongst his three sons. To the oldest, Ludwig, he gave Italy and the cron and title of emperor; to the second, Lothalre, the northern part of his dominion, comprising a part of modern Holland, Belgium, and the proviuce called up to this day Loratne or Lotharlngen, the Alsa-e, and all the land extendiug down to the Kaoue. To the youngest, Carl, he gave ill the land south of the Saone to the Mediterranean, uuder the title of Kingdom of Provence. In sc Lothalre died without heirs, after he had previously become possessed also of his brother Carl's Kingdom of Provence, and it was then that Carl the Bald, King of France, stepped forward to take sole possession of his nephew's kimrdom, com prising all the eastern part of modern France, and extending from the Meuse to the Rhine, and from the Rhone to the Alps, and from the North Sea way down to the Mediterranean. He was completely successful, for bis nephew Ludwig the Emperor lu Italy, and his brother Ludwig, the King of Germany, had both their hands too fuU to claim their share of the rich Inheritance. But a year lawr, in S70, Jast oae thousand years ago, suddenly a large aud well-appointed German army crossed the Kulne, broke Into France, aud de feated Carl tho Bald and bis armies at once, and so completely that he was compelled to sign a treaty of peace In the same year (STOj, by wnich he ceded to his brother Ludwig, the German, all the eastern part of those lands which he had appropriated from bis nephew, and comprising tne modern provinces of Alsace, Eastern Lorraine, aud the territories around the cities of Trier, or Treves, Cologne, Mastricht, and Utrecht, down to the r.-outh of the river Rhine. The first grand tight for the Rhine provinces oa the part of France, and the Alsace and Lorraine oa that of Germany, which Is, after all, if not the sole cause, certainly one of the principal causes of the present war of 1870, took place consequently just one thousand years ago, in bio, and with the same result, A MADMAS'S MANIA. Towards nightfall on Thursday last the little town ship f Ewiug, near Trenton, N. J., was startled by the announcement that a madman was la the vici nity, terrifying the children by his wild demeanor. Every door was closed as fast as the arrival was made known. In a few minutes be appeared before the house of Patrick Tracy with big stoues iu his fists, and commenced pelting them at the walls and door. Tracy was about to rush forth upoa him, when he found that it would be no easy mat ter to conquer bim. He accordingly placed bis affrighted wife In the room, locked the door, and ran through a back eutrauce for assist ance. A gentleman named Augustus Immediately loaded his double barrelled pun and hastened back with Tracy. He scarcely had time to sor,u the assailant when the latter rushed frantically towards him, threw him to the grouud, aud, wresiiug the weapon from bis hands, was about to preeut it to Ills head. Tracy caught the gun, however, and a desperate struggle euued, la the course of which the maniac received several severe blows oa the bead. When he found that be could not retain his hold of the gun he seized a stone, and with oue blow mashed the liana of Augustus. After an obstinate contest they subdued bim, aud he retreated haaiily from the spot. Tracy and Augustus were too much exhausted to pursue him, but went before Justice Mills, of Trenton, to procure a warrant for the man's ancKt. He wae coauAi'.f; J to the crxLty j. V. i'.
