2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMB, 17,1870. srmiT or ins rnnsn. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph, THE GERMAN ARMY BEFORE PARIS. From the X T, Herald. The siege of Paris may bo regarded as hav ing practically commenced, though no hostile gnn has been fired npon or from her fortifica tions. The besieging army is calculated at four hundred thousand men. The defensive force is variously stated at from three hun dred thousand to fire hundred thousand men of all arms. Whatever bo its strength an address of General Trochn's would indicate that he regards it as sufficient. He feels assured, he says, that the defense will be ad mirably sustained. The bridges over the Seine, above and below the city, have been destroyed by the French, so as to keep the besieging army on the eastern side of the -city. The railroads on that Bide have been also destroyed; but those leading westward from Paris are still in operation. They may, however, be broken up at any time by raids of the German cavalry. The city is said to be well provided for a siege, and the population is represented as resolute and determined to defend it to the last. A despatch from Bouillon, in Belgium, dated on the 14 th inst., announces that a por ion of Bazaine's army, commanded by Mar tial Canrobert, has cut its way out of Metz t nd is on the march towards Paris, and an apparently later despatch from the same place makes a like statement in regard to the whole of Bazaine's army, which is said to have reached Carignan, in the neighborhood of Sedan. We regard the statement, how ever, as rather apocryphal. From Strasburg and the other besieged fortresses there is no late information except the general assertion that not a French fortress has been yet cap tured. The fortifications of Lyons are re ported as completed, and large levies of men are being raised, organized, and armed in all the departments not invaded by tho Ger mans. It is expeoted that about a million of Frenchmen will soon be in arms for the de fense of the country. The abortive blockade of the Elbe and Weser by the French fleet has been abandoned. ' It was of no real ad vantage to France, and the men and material engaged in it can be of more servioe at home. It seems that we have not yet heard the last of M. Theirs' mission to London. Yes terday he was represented as asserting that he did not know the republican Government of France. To-day we are assured on equally reliable authority that he had received fur ther instructions from the republican Govern ment, and had not quite abandoned his efforts at peace negotiations or given np all hopes of success. But the most significant intimations in regard to his mission are the connecting of it with some scheme for the re storation of royalty in the person of one of the Orleans princes. Of course such a scheme has evidently been one of the possibilities of the situation, but we had not regarded it as among the probabilities. M. Thiers, however, is represented as having been the bearer of an important communication from General Trochu to the Duo d'Aumalo, and as having had long interviews with members of the Or leans family, recently strengthened by the arrival from Brazil of the Count d'Eu, son-in-law of the Brazilian Emperor, and one of the princes of the House of Orleans. The mean ing of all this is that General Trochu may aot the part of General Lafayette when he placed Louis Philippe on the throne of France, and of General Monk, when he restored the Eng lish monarchy in the person of Charles the Second. This is one of the directions in which French affairs may turn. But evidently the King of Prussia does not yet contemplate that contingency, or at least does not throw out any hints of that kind. The programme which is laid out for and at tributed to him, and which has the air of pro bability to support it, is that as soon as Paris is in his hands he will summon back the Regency, the Senate, and the Corps Legis latif, which he regards as the de jure govern ment of France, and arrange a treaty of Eeace with commissioners to be appointed y those bodies, and will, after the ratifica tion of 8uoh treaty, restore Napoleon to lib erty and to France, and let France then choose her own government. But one of the conditions of peace is to be the cession to Germany of the provinces of Alsace and Lo- raine. lven if the Kmc were inclined to forego that condition, publio opinion in Ger many woma entorce it npon him. The one great obstacle, however, to the carrying out 01 mis programme is tne resist ance which Paris will make to the besiegers, If defended with the bravery, skill and deter mination which we hope to see displayed in its defense, and if its supplies of food, water and munitions do not fail, the German armies may see themselves compelled to raise the siege ana to retreat back across the Rhine, fortunate if they are able to get back. The events of the next few days will probablv fur tush indications by which to judge of the result 01 tne siege. May it be auspicious to the republic ana to tne principles of popular gov eminent. WASHBURNE. .from the LouUville Courier-Journal. Mr. Washburne, the American Minister to France, it will be recollected, was too sickly to discharge the duties of "the Secretaryship of State to which the President was. foolish enough to appoint him, and so he was. sent to Paris for his health, all at the expense' of Uncle Samuel. The experiment may be fatal to Mr. Washburne, who promises to be brought home in his political coffin, whtch now is apparently suspended, like that of the lamented Mahomet, between heaven and earth. The reader is familiar with the fact, be cause it has burdened the Atlantic cable for these many days, that the United States Gov ernment, through its representative at Paris, was the first to "recognize" the republics of France. We have no means of determining how much Mr. Washburne may have himself contributed to the composition of these des patches; but certainly our sensibilities were decidedly touched as we could almost see him, so graphio was the description, melting into tears at the upheaving applause of the French populace in its recognition of his per. son as he passed unpretentiously along the street. Shout after shout rent the air, and 'Vive l'Amerique!" bo affected the republican soul of Mr. Washburne that he gushed over in a speech which would almost have done credit to Schuyler Colfax. Sympathetic hearts felt safe in the confidence that the new republic was all right because reoognized by so true a knight of so glorious a cause. Itwas given out that Mr. Washburne had taken the im portant step only after consulting with the authorities at home, and so, of course, his aetion was construed abroad as that of the Government at Long Branch. Indeed. For ney's paper, the Trmt at Philadelphia, rapped him over the knuckles for not having acted more expeditiously than even the eleo trio telegraph gave him time for, and for not having shot down the empire on the spot without waiting to hear from Washington, lie was pointed to a similitude of suoh action in the case of the American Minister to France in 1848, who, not having the advan tage of electrioity, acknowledged the republic of Lamartine & Co. without waiting to hear from Washington. And so Mr. Washburne was floating on a sea of glory. Without any previous oppor tunity of distinguishing himself, he surged wildly into the prominence of being the first to recognize the republic, and he quaffed down his swelling bosom the praises of re publicans all over Europe and America. Not a shadow spread itself over his sublime self satisfaction, Bave that passing shot from the press, that he had done right but not soon enough, until a day or two ago, when the Government at Long Branch took the ague by but a single day's visit to the marshes of the Potomac. The reader of our special from Washington on Thursday morning must have felt sorry for Mr. Washburne as well as in quisitive as to what special light Mr. Fish had received from Europe. We were told in this despatch that Mr. Washburne was below par in governmental consideration; that he had been too hasty, too wild, too un diplomatic in his recognition of the new order of things in Paris. This, we are told, was "distasteful to Mr. Fish, and also to the President, neither of whom had any desire to be swift in the recognition of the French Republic." They didn't feel sure but that King William would restore the empire; and hence that a hasty recognition would embar rass the Washington Government. Besides, we are told that "it has transpired" that Fish and Grant have taken no decided stand npon the matter, and that their des- Eatches have been decidedly "equivocal." ow all this is very sad for Mr. Washburne. But he must console himself. He may come out all right if the republic lasts six weeks. He must interpret the reprimand as the ex pression of the "heads I win, tails you lose" genius of the Government which hovers be tween Long Branch and Washington. Let us contemplate his following the example of Na poleon III, and prepare to exclaim, If I can not shine in the republicanism of Europe, 1 lay my commission at the feet of your Majesty of Long liranch ! PROHIBITION AND POLITICS. From the V. Times. The regmlation of the liquor traffic in Mas sachusetts ban, after iwo years trial of the prohibitory law, been banded over to the individual towns, who are to deal with it as they see fit. The result will probably be that in the small country towns, where hardly anybody drinks or wants to drink, all drink ing will be prohibited; while in the large cities, where there is a great deal of drinking, and where some restraint is really needed, no restraint at all will be attempted. It cannot be said that this is a very satisfactory result of an experiment which has now lasted for several years, and has caused more uproar and drawn forth more bad language than any etiort after social reiorm witnin our re collection. The prohibitionists, however, far from being discouraged, think that by trying to get the State Executive into their own hands, they may mend matters, and have accordingly formed a party of their own, nominated Wendell Phillips for the Governorship, and are, it is said, not without hopes that, with the aid of the "Labor lief ormers, they may elect him Mr. Phillips has said to the latter, that it is a disgrace to Christianity that some men should have large fortunes and others next to nothing, so that if he gets into office on his two platforms, we may look for a speedy attempt in Massachusetts to solve finally the Eroblem by which so many ages and nations ave been vexed namely, that of making everybody behave with perfect propriety, and share his earnings with his less fortu nate neighbors. This solved, we are glad to say the necessity for political parties will be past, and, indeed, it is doubtful whether we shall need any formal govern ment. At all events, we shall not need the final and restrictive part of government, and when one thinks how large a part of govern ment this is, and how much of our time and attention it absorbs, we can hardly be too thankful to the grave men of Maasachu setts who are going to show us how to get rid of it. Temperance is, however, occupying a great deal of trablio attention all over the eonntrv. Even where it does not make its way into party politics, many people are seriously considering wnetner tnere is not some mode of getting rid of what all acknowledge to be the greatest source of crime and of domestio unhappinees also. Temperance has been and is greatly preached in pulpits and on plat- lorms; nunareas oi lecturers tnunder in its behalf; the reformed drunkard continues to travel and exhibit himself for it, with as much assiduity as ever. It has an extensive litera ture of its own, devoted to exposures of the horrors of indulgence; nay, it has its own cnemists and medical men, who exhaust the nomenclature of science in depicting the effect of alcohol on the brain, the muscular tissue, and the viscera.;it has all the aid that muBic, banners, and badges can give to a cause, and it receives from the churches a fair amount of support and yet its friends are not satisfied with its progress. The rava ges of liouor. thev sav. are nanrlv as of war, and at the bottom of it all are the "moderate drinkers," a hardened and appa rently numerous body; whose cunning absti nence from open excess, and confinement of wieir poiauons 10 meir own nouses, render it impossible "for duLUo oninion or evnn tnr the arm of the la' w to reach them, without something like total prohibition of the whole liquor traffic Now, would it not be worth while, at this stage of the proceedings, and before any more laoor is wasted, either in useless declama tion or in inoperative legislation, for tern perance men of all shades to consider a little more seriously than they have yet done what is possible in this matter. Their attention has hitherto been devoted almost altogether to what is desirable, and they acknowledge themselves that thev have not made much progress. Nevertheless, nothing is more eer- "1U " mere is lar less drinking now than there used to be, certainly among the in telligent and well-to-do classes of society. The rum and brandy decanters are no longer seen vu juiiciiuiu uuduuuuh, ur wine on Ameri can ainner-iaDies, as tney used to be. inaeea, notmng in our manners strikes foreigners bo much as our abstinence. Look at a steamboat or hotel dinner-tabl anywhere along our Northern frontier, and you win not see a trace of liquor; cross over into Canada and you will find a bottle beside every plate. There is the same difference in private houses. A Canadian, an Englishman, a Frenchman, or a German, will hardlv thin of asking a friend to dinner, without offering him wine or beer, any more than he would think of not offering him bread. It is only amoDg the wealthy classes in the large citiod that any such UBage prevails in the United States. Now, what has wrought this change? Is it legislation, or is it moral suasion, or is it the general progress of society in customs and refinement? Would it not be well to find out what it is, and, having found it out, to stick to it, and rely on it, and abandon all other instrumentalities? Besides this, it seems to be crenerallv acknow ledged that, although drunkenness prevails to a greater or less extent in all countries, the countries of Continental Europe have some how managed to unite moderate drinking with tne absence of excess. Alcohol does not play the part, or anything like the part, in the criminal statistics of France, or Germany, or Italy, that it plays in ours. In fact, the social reformer in these countries finds some diffi culty in understanding the fearful excitement of our temperance men about alcohol, and yet Prussia, at least, has as well edaoated a population as ours, and takes far more pains than we do to secure order and comfort within her borders. Now what is the reason of this difference ? What does she do that we leave undone? What difficulties have we to contend with that she has not ? Why do we regard beer as so deadful, and she consider it so innocent and delightful? Would not an answer to theRe questions shed new and much-needed light on the whole subject ? Thus far the temperance men have done nothing to supply it, except sond on occasional half -educated and often fanatical teetotal traveller to Europe, with his imagi nation diseased about drunkenness, and allowed him when he came back to print and preach every foolish fancy, and silly generali zation, and distorted fact that a total inca pacity either to collect facts, or reason on them, combined with ignorance of the for eign languages, could cram into his brain. We ought to have something better. CJESAUIS&I AND CARLYLEISM. From the A'. F. Tribune. There is a disease which often attacks highly-educated Americans at about the age of thirty, and which sometimes clings to them for the rest of their lives. They wake up some morning with the conviction that universal suffrage is a failure, and that only themselves and two or three of their intimate friends are fit to govern the world. They announce with dismay that America is vul garizing not only itself, but probably tho whole Bolar system. In some cases, where the habits and traditions of the patients ore English, the disease finds vent in growling, and may be called Carlyleism. Other victims belong to the class of good Americans who have Been Paris before they died, and have ceased to be good Americans thenceforward. Their type of the disease is more malignant, and may be called Cirsarism. 2 And this disease of reaction is not confined to stock-brokers and statesmen out of office; it is just as virulent among the more reoluse orders, as college professors, poets, and women. Professor Lowell, who twenty years ago wrote such fine sentiments about poor men's sons and rich men's sons, now grows as indignant as BktckuioocVs Magazine against "asystem which gives Teague, because he can dig, as much influence as Ralph, because he can think." The Woman's Suffrage move ment is perplexed with allies like Mrs. Inger soil, of Washington, who is opposed to allow ing any woman to vote who is not, like her self, taxed upon a small property, and is not qualified, like herself, to fill a Government clerkship. There is seldom a woman's con vention where somebody does not feel im pelled to remark that there are too many voters already, and that some of them should be put out of the way to make room for their betters. And when men or women once get this solicitude into their heads, it is seldom got out again. Men have seen how England has gradually outgrown the control of the throne; then of the House of Lords; then of "the great governing families; " and has come to Gladstone and Disraeli at last. They have seen French Imperialism disappear in the crater of a volcano, and the Prussian monarchy already beginning to climb the sides of one. No matter. You can convert a European conservative, but an American reactionary dies hard; the despotisms of the Old World may crumble before his eyes, while he still clings to the belief that the nation can only be saved by limiting political power U him self and his cousins. Fortunately the American community, as a whole, remains unconvinced. Where, it per sistently asks, are you to draw the line ? The barber in fiicliolas flickkby refuses to shave a coal heaver, on the ground that you must draw a line somewhere, and. he draws it at bakers. The coal heaver himself, if ho had drawn it, would certainly have drawn it so as to include himself, and among all those who would restrict the suffrage there is not one who would consent to leave himself, outside Each restriction proposed, while it vitiates the principle, still fails to satisfy. Talleyrand said to the Lmperor Alexander, in 181 1, that Bona parte represented a principle and Louis XVIII represented a principle, while anything else was but an intrigue. So among ourselves, Cnosarism might' represent a principle, only that there is no Ciesar. Universal suffrage represents a principle.- Between these there is nothing which has even the dignity of an intrigue. " ,- If we erant that there are in any conlnin: nity one, two, or a dozen persons who could govern it better than it governs itself now, the question still remains, How are those gifted few to be got at? If they are to seleot themselves and each is to recruit an army to fight it out, we have a South American Gov 'ernment. If they are to be Beieoted by merely literary examination, then we have a Chinese type of rulers. But if they are to be chosen by the popular voice, then we have a republio after all. J. ins at least aims to com bine personal ability with popular government. There are always a few persons remarkably fitted for executive duties one to command an army, ono to organize schools, one to "swing a rail road.' Every caucus, every convention. every election, is an effort to discover thoso men, and to put them where they will be useful. Americans take as readily to the appointment of committees as to the decision by majorities, because they are trained to un derstand that the many must settle what is to be done, and the few have charge of the doing. "Teague, who can dig," merely claims the right to decide at proper intervals which among the thinking Ralphs shall be put at the helm. We can spare neither. What would bave become of this nation had the adjustment of the slavery question been left to the professors in our colleges ? Each voter stands for his own rights and for those of his class, if for nothing else, and the larger the body of voters the less easy to cajole or bribe them. Because demagogues flatter the toxpopuli it does not beoooie wise men to ignore its value. It was not an Ame rican republican, but the shrewdest of French thinkers, who said, "There is one who knots more than anybody, and that is Everybody." SPECIAL NOTIOES. Iy- NOTICE.
