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."
