THE MOURNING IN GERMANY.
from the K. T. HeraW.
The great victories won by German arms,
And tbe almost miiacnlons prostration of
Germany's most powerful and most daagerons
foe, have sent a thrill of national exaltation
through the pulses of Fatherland. Bonfires,
illuminations, triumphal processions, public
meetings, and congratulatory addresses have
not been wanting in any of the large cities
that dot the broad region extending from the
Rhine to the borders of Russia. The echo
of these jubilations comes to us across the
Atlantic, and it is so loud and hearty as to
drown the cries of grief and anguish which
ascend along with it from thousands and
thousands of homes made desolate by the
curse of this dreadful war. In fact, there
is a determined effort, and, under the cir
cumstances, not an unwise one, on the part
of the German authorities to suppress the
true details of the carnage inflioted on their
troops. The story would be so appall
ing were it all frankly told at this junc
ture, as to awaken all over Germany a
voice for instant peace that conld not be re
sisted. Hence, the most is made of the suc
cesses gained, and as little as possible is said
of their frightful cost. However, King Wil
liam himself has, once or twice, involuntarily
given a glimpse behind the bloody scenes. In
bis famous despatch to Queen Augusta from
the battle fields in the neighborhood of Metz,
he admitted that it sickened him to think of
his losses, and all correspondents agree in
representing the slaughter of the Germans in
nearly every engagement fought since the
beginning of the war as two-fold that of their
antagonists. At the battle of Gravelotte the
German dead lay heaped upon the heights
whence the French had been dislodged
towards the close cf the action "in swathes
and winrows, like grain in a densely planted
and well-mown field," and the distress of the
royal commander-in-chief at the almost utter
annihilation of his splendid Guards the
pride of the Prussian army is described as
having been extreme.
Again, the peculiar system of recruiting
and organization pursued for the German
service is such that in many cases a large
proportion of the able-bodied men of whole
villages and small towns are enrolled together
in the same companies and regiments, with
the idea that their conduct will be benefi
cially influenced by the additional esprit Oe
corps thus preserved, and by the fact that
every man will be f ghting tinder the eyes
of his own neighbors and early companions.
Consequently, the slaughter of these recent
battles has thrown whole communities into
mourning, and, as the South Germans have
really done some of the severest work, there
are districts in Baden and Bavaria where
almost every family has lost a father,
brother, or son. fcaxony, too, has been
literally decimated by the wholesale destruc
tion of her best troops. It is one peculiarity
of the German soldier that he is more likely
to nave a wite ana tamiiy at nome tnan is
the more volatile and fickle Frenohman: and,
hence, his death is not simply the passing
away of a unit from among the multitude.
but involves the immediate suffering of seve
ral persons. Thisfa:thas been very touch
ingfy illustrated upon many occasions during
the struggle. Tbe fierce Uhlans soouting in
tne neiguuornood of tne Alsatian towns re
peatedly exhibited great emotion when ca
ressing the children of the villagers upon
wnoni they made their requisitions, and,
when questioned as to the cause of their agi
tation, replied that they, too, had wives and
families at nome.
But so general has been the carnage that
no class in . the German armies has been
spared. At Sedan there was an absolute
battue of titled officers; and long lists of
counts, barons and gentry of distinguished
came and social position figure among the
slain in the statements of the press in Aus
tria, where the careful restrictions imposed
upon the North German editors are not en
forced. In one word, the domestic heart of
Fatherland is lacerated as it has never been
before. Her homes grand and humble
alike are wrapped in gloom. Men whose
own healths are in safety, on this side of the
Atlantic and elsewhere, at wide distances
from the actual scene of sorrow, may hold
war meetings and pass ferocious resolutions;
but the afflicted people of Germany, in all
her cities and in all her fields of rustic
poverty and labor, pray that this riot of blood
may be stayed and that their stricken hearts
may be no longer torn by the fangs' of mili
tary ambition.
THE GERMANS IN OUR
POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN.
From the X. Y. Timet.
There can be no question that the Repub
lican party are to gain, in the approaching
political campaign, an important German
vote. We hear on every side that the Ger man
Americans who have hitherto been members
of the Democratic party have become dis
' gusted with the course of the Democratic
leaders and journals on the Franco-German
question, and are coming over in large num
bers to the Republican side. It is well under
stood by them that the leading organs of the
Democratic party have assailed the cause of
the "Fatherland" with every weapon of sar
casm and abuse. The World has never ceased
vilifying the motives of the Germans, and
using every possible argument to draw Ame
rican sympathy from the Prussians. The
Republican journals, on the other hand, have
almost unanimously sympathized with the
struggle for German Tinity. From the begin
ning they have condemned the means which
Louis Napoleon used to acquire power, and
the oppression he has exercised over free
thought and personal liberty. They op
posed him when seeking to acquire a foot
hold for Imperialist ideas in Mexico, and
would undoubtedly have urged the nation to
war rather than submit to a perma
nent French occupation of that unfortunate
country.
When Napoleon, on the 15th of July last,
began his sudden and uncalled-for war
against North Germany, the Rspublican pub
lic men and newspapers felt and denounced.
it as an unprovoked attack on a peaceful
neighbor; they regarded the struggle as in
fact one between Ciesarisni on one side, and
a people just beginning a course of constita
lional liberty on the other. Between Na
poleon and King William, personally, they
had not much to choose; but one represented
despotic ideas, and tne otner, for the moment,
the mighty efforts of a free community
towards unity, which we know from expe
rience to be the path of liberty. Moreover,
Germany embodied, to our Bunds, the freer
ideas of the age; freedom of thought and
institutional progres; its army was a citi
lay in popular education. Its Teutonic vir
tues were our own pains-taking industry, a
pure family life, and the courage whioh,
though not often brilliant, grows firmer from
disaster. These were some of the reasons
which brought the Republican party into
sympathy with Germany in this great strug
gle. The sympathy would have been equally
deep and honest had no German-Americans
existed. "
But we rejoice at the coincidence, because
it shows, what all reflecting persons have long
felt, that for a German-American to be a
Democrat" is an inconsistency, both logical
and unnatural. The two really have nothing
to do with one another. The American
Democrat has always sympathized with arbi
trary power. He ought to be called the
American Tory, or Junker. He has a secret
love for Disraeli, and a fellow feeling for Louis
Napoleon. He adored the slaveholder. The
German-American is of necessity a hater of
tyrants and an enemy of oppression. The
Democrat flatters the priesthood and believes
in the temporal power of the Pope. The
German (even if a Roman Catholic) would
overthrow both. " The American Democrat
hates news ideas and "reforms," and always
opposes any great popular measure, whether
sanitary or moral, which will make the
masses more intelligent or comfortable.
The German believes in progress and
popular improvement, and the elevation of
the masses. The Democrat dislikes free
schools, and would make them ecclesiastical.
The German admires them, and would secu
larize the church schools. The Democrat has
no ideas or a single principle in his party,
and merely clings to a great name. The Ger
man is in sympathy with all the fermenting
ideas of the time, and does not at once recog
nize that the sacred name of "Deniokraf' in
America is but a lion's skin.
This war has revealed these incongruities
in the position of German-Americans within
the Democratic party. They see they are
strangers there. They are in the wrong
place. WTbat can a German "Demokrat,"
who has fed, as upon mother's milk, on ideas
of liberty for all men, and of the progress
of humanity, have to do with men whose
idol was the slaveholder, who admire Louis
Napoleon, and whose only aim is so to be
guile an ignorant populace as to enjoy fat
olfaces.
The true democrats of the United States
are the Republicans. Their career has been
a glorious series of struggles and victories for
the rights of man. ihey havo always upheld
the people against oppressors in any lorm.
Their animating enthusiasm has been their
love of freedom, and sympathy everywhere
with true liberty. To them, the German
Ainericans rightly belong; in their ranks they
will find a true harmony, and nowhere will
their principles and services be so gratefully
and heartily recognized as in the Republican
THE PROSPECT IN FRANCE.
From the N. T. Sun.
The demands of Prussia, though nowhere
formally expressed as yet, are pretty clearly
understood, luey are tne surrender of the
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, so that
France shall hereafter not touch the river
Rhine, the payment in addition of a liberal
money indemnity for the expenses of the
war, and the occupation of the fortress of
Metz by a Prussian force for some stipulated
length of time, even if a point as yet vari
ously stated that fortress should not be in
cluded in the territory to be handed over to
the conquerors.
The nature of these demands excludes all
idea of peace at present. No French Gov
ernment would agree to them a republican
government least of all, much as all the pre
tenders to tne tnrone would like to see the
republicans make an odious peace. The
French people appear willing to pay any rea-
sonable sum of money, to stipulate for the
reduction of their army and navy to a certain
fixed limit, and to surrender their great
northern fortresses temporarily as a guarantee
lor the faitnful performance of their agree
ment. But they are not willing to yield any
part of their territory; and it is to bring
them to such a state of willingness that the
German armies are now gathering around
Paris and will soon commence the siege of
mat great capital.
IJow long this siege may last it is. of
course, impossible to say. As yet the strength
of the Parisian fortifications has not been
tested. They were built thirty years ago,
before the invention of rifled artillery and
smooth-bores of fifteen and twenty inches
diameter. Unless they have been strength
ened by heavy earthworks of which we have
not heard their .walls ef masonry cannot for
any considerable period be proof against the
attacks of tnese great guns. Besides, it is
well known to engineers that these fortifica
tions are not everywhere of equal strength.
Their weak point is on the southeast, in the
direction of St. Denis, and it is from that
direction that the Prussians seem about to
make their first onset. Still, it is not pro
bable that the defenses of rans can be re
duced in less than forty or sixty days, and in
this time military operations on the Prussian
Bide must be substantially suspended else
where. The French, however, will all the
while be active in organizing new armies, in
threatening the Prussian lines of communica
tion, and in harassing the enemy in everv
possible manner. In this way the siege of
Paris, if it can be sufficiently protracted, will
greatly exhaust the Germans, and contribute
1 A . 1 f
immensely to prepare mo r rencn lor under
taking off ensive operations afterwards against
them.
The whole campaign henceforth must de-
f ond partly upon the length of time which
'aris can hold out, but still mora upon the
real spirit of the French people. If they
sternly determine upon ngnting to the bitter
end for their national integrity, no matter
what the sacrifices or how great the cost,
they can win. It all lies in their own spirit
and resolution. If they are heroes ready to
cover France with ruin rather than diminish
her boundaries, and sacrifice the last relio of
her prestige, the contest will be terrible, but
the victoiy will be theirs at last. Seventy.
hve years ago they were capable ot sucn a
Btruggle; but are they capable of it now t
HOME AT LAST !
From the K. Y. Tribune.
Mr. Ignatius Donnelly, having been thrice
chosen to Congress from the northern dis
trict of Minnesota, wanted to go again; but
the Republican Convention saw fit to nomi
nate another: so he ran stump and threw
away the district. Hereupon, Mr. Donnelly,
who was a i'ennsyivanian born, and had
hitherto been a zealous protectionist, came
out a "revenue reformer, and commenced
assailing the party which had hitherto en
dured and subsisted him as the enemy of the
West, because it naa eiectea sucn men as
himself to Congress, and thereby upheld the
nolicv of protection.
After doing what little mischief he could in
the way of spouting wherever he could corner
an audience, Mr. D. has at length got him
relf into line with the sham Democracy. Ha
is to run again for Congress as a stamp ca
didate, inflicting on the Republicans all the
abuse and misrepresentation whereof he is
capable; end the Democrat are to print his
name on their ballots and see if their votes.
with those he can pick np by his anti-tariff
dodge, will not pull blm through.
The worst sold party to this arrangement is
not the handful of Republicans who may be
duped by it, but the sham Democracy. They
in 03 elected Eugene M. Wilson to the seat,
by minding their own business and letting
others do the same, lie nas a iair claim to
their support for re-election, and they could
vote for him without feeling as if they had
been caught at midnight in a neighboring
hen-house. But they have caught the Don
nelly, and will probably be ven years in
getting rid of it. Perhap9 they have deserved
no better; but our own experience ot tuat
complaint impels us to tender them our pro
found sympathy.
This man Donnelly auords a tair illustra
tion of what is meant by "Revenue Reform."
Its inspiration is hatred of Republican as
cendency and a determination to overthrow
it in 1;72. So it is understood, and there
fore it is favored, by every enemy of General
Grant's administration. Thus the Chicago
Times applauds the Chicago Iribune for com
mending Democratic (that is, anti-protective)
piincipks in quarters which Democratic
journals never reach. Thus the Ohio States
man commends the State Journal as being
soundly Copperhead so far as the tariff is
concerned. Everywhere a free-trade speech
maker is justly hailed by the Democrats as
luring fih into their net. Happily there are
not enough of them to rescue sham Demo
cracy from the famine which, for lack of
I ederal loaves as well as fishes, it has endured
for the last nine years.
RUSSIA AND THE WAR.
From the London Saturday Review.
After the Congress of Paris in ls,"0 the
policy of Russia was authoritatively declared
to be one of strict isolation and reserve.
England, it was announced, had betrayed the
confidence of the Emperor Nicholas, and re
pelled his offers of a share in the confiscation
of tbe lnrkish empire, in order to throw
herself headlong into an alliance with the
Second Empire, and to secure the friendship
of a dangerous conspirator by lending him
her own prestige. Austria had played an
obscure and shifty part as a neutral; Prussia
had looked more kindly on her old ally, but
declined a closer and more active sympathy.
Russia bad learned a severe and bitter but
profitable lesson from her heroic efforts and
gloiious reverses: to live her own life,
to recruit and renovate her unexhausted
though shattered energies, to devote herself
to the material interests of peace in a word,
to "collect herself" for the sure but not pre
cipitate fulfilment of her destinies, Se
rtcueilhr that was to be the whole duty of
Russian statesmanship for years to come,
according to Prince Gortschakoff'. That duty
has been faithfully observed, and a new Rus
sia, more Muscovite and more discreet,
though not less despotic, has been created
out of the ruins of tbe old Russia of serfdom
and silence, of intervention and intrigue. In
the two great centres of tbe Empire some
thing like national opinion has sprung up
and spread from a few salons to the colleges,
and from official circles to public journals.
Foreign capital has been attracted by high
interest and punctual dividends to invest
ments in railway enterprise. The founda
tions of a new polity and a new society have
been laid, and while all this internal renova
tion was going on, never was the foreign
policy of Russia more decided, more digni
fied, or more self-possessed. Sebastopol was
scarcely taken when the Emperor Napoleon
was meditating his own terms of peace with
an enemy who, having served his purpose in
obtaining one alliance, might be the confi
dential partner in another. At the opening
of the Italian war in 18.P a Franco-Russian
alliance was in the air. Louis Napoleon
courted it, nor was it from any want of
warmth in his courtship that his "intentions"
were declined. What he wanted it for, or
what was the ulterior object of his intentions,
is lees clear. Probably his "intentions were
only half-formed conspiracies against some
power whose alliance was no longer indis
pensable to him. Russia knew very well
that while he was courting her alliance he
was coquetting, like his uncle, with
the inexhaustible credulity of Poland,
and holding in reserve the dreams
and hopes of that everlasting victim of French
revolutionary i argon. When, a few vears
later, the Polish insurrection broke out, and
that fantastio and impracticable nationality
threw away the last chance of a government
and administration of its own, the French
Emperor felt himself obliged to make some
show of active sympathy. But the moment
Prince Gortschokoff replied to covert menaces
by a disdainful despatch, the heir and suc
cessor of the man for whom thousands of
brave Poles bad fallen in battle drew back
and held his peace; and ever since that signal
diplomatic discomnture ne nas assiduously
cultivated the most friendly relations with
the power that slapped his face, and has al
most obsequiously studied to please the re
storer of order at Warsaw. His ostentatiously
affectionate welcome to the Czar in Paris
during the International Exhibition a wel
come so inauspiciously interrupted by a
Polish pistol was bitterly remarked by
French republicans. During the four years
of preparation for tne attaoK upon Prussia,
Louis Napoleon hai persevered in his assidui
ties at St. Petersburg, through one of the
most devoted of his personal agents, whose
favored position at the court of Alexander II
is a favorite topic in the Official Journal,
This laborious affectation of friendship has
not, however, estranged him from his other
alliances, with England, with Austria, and
with Turkey. It has rather assumed the
character of a warnirg to bis other allies to
beware of the possibility of that Rus
sian alliance which he could never
obtain. Alexander II, if less disdainful than
his father of these advances, is scarcely more
solicitous of their sincerity. While the Jour
nal Ojjicu l was dwelling with eager satisfac
tion on General Fleury s successes as a cour
tier, the Czar was publicly and formally ex
changing with King William of Prussia con
gratulatory reminiscences of a memorable
defeat of the First Napoleon in Germany.
Such were the relations between the Gov
ernments of France and Russia when the
Duke of Gramont read to the Chamber the
declaration of war, and such to all appear
ances they are now, when the German armies
under the Prussian standards are marohing
upon the French capital. For the best
of reasons Russia is watching the frontiers of
Posen, and holding Austrian neutrality in
check. In the Baltio Russia observes the
movements of the French squadrons with
anxious attention. Russia advises and sus
tains the neutrality of the Scandinavian
kingdoms. Russian influence restrains rather
than encourages the rash intrigues of the
KiDg of Italy. Russia recognizes the justice
of the retribution which Prussia is inflicting
npon Imperial France. But when we say
"Russia, we mean the Russian Court and
Government. lSothiag leu, probably, than
the appearance of the Sultan in the field as
the ally of France against Germany, or the
armed intervention of Austria, or perhaps
the formation of a Polish legion, would
tempt the Czar to swerve from his neutrality,
or to abandon the common interest of all the
neutral States in circumscribing the
area of hostilities. For, if Russia,
in the sense of the Russian Govern
ment, is certainly not unfavorable to
tbe German cause, very different
is the publio opinion of Russia as
far as it finds expression in the journals of
that party which is supposed to represent the
national sentiment of the Russian people.
These journals, and especially the most inde
pendent and influential of them all, are loud
and emphatic in their sympathy for France in
her present trials and troubles. They com
plain of the partiality of the official telegrams
which exaggerate the successes and disguise
the losses of the German armies. They
swear as valiantly as the Oaulois or the Soir
that the victories of France are yet to come,
and rejoice by anticipation in the disastrous
retreat of King William and his confederates
across the Rhine. To what are we to ascribe
these Muscovite sentiments? To chivalrous
compassion for tbe gallant heroes of the
Malakoff, the descendants of the heroes of
the retreat from Moscow? To a belief in the
dtmocratic and socialistic ideas of Louis Na
poleon? To the love of the Russian aristocracy
for Paiis? Or is it to the Musco
vite hatred of all that is German of German
statesmen, German generals, German admin
istrators, and German bureaucrats? Or to
the natural antipathy of near neighbors ? Or
to jealousy of tne copartitioners of Poland?
Or to a dim fear of a future revivification by
united Germany of the Baltic provinces?
The last we take to be the best of all the
good reasons and baJ passions that may be
found in the Prusso-phobia of the Russian
press, especially in the organs of the Old
Russia party. If we add the spirit of resist
ance to whatever may be the course of the
Government, this extreme tenderness for the
hereditary patrons (and betrayers) of Polish
nationality is perhaps sufficiently explained.
Without attaching too much importance to
the stories, in which the French official
press appears to take comfort, of the
extraordinary social successes of General
Fleury at the Russian Court, and of the Em
peror Alexander leaning on the arm of the
Ambassador and putting him on terms of
confidential and almost affectionate intimacy,
there is reason to believe that thesa lively
demonstrations have more than a personal
significance. The Emperor Alexander is a
kind-hearted man, and he must feel for the
woes of the ruler of France. Common gene
rosity not to speak of Imperial magnanimity
would, under existing circumstances, re
commend one of Louis Napoleon's nearest
and dearest friends to the sympathies of the
sovereign to whom he is accredited. Personal
courtesy is not necessarily an act of
policy, and personal kindness to a recon
ciled enemy and a hospitable friend who has
fallen upon evil days is grateful to
one's feelings without compromising one's
interests. Alexander II may be glad to break
the fall of the French Emperor by lavishing
attentions upon his favorite agent. To sup
pose that all this "enforced ceremony" means
a deliberate design on the part of the (Jzar to
relinquish a secure and profitable neutrality
in favor of France, to exchange an old and
tried alliance for a new and hazardous one,
to stand, armed and menacing, between a
liberated Germany and a defeated aggressor,
as France stood between Austria and Prussia
at Nikolsburg, to snatch from King Wil
liam the results of hard-won victories,
and to save the disturber of Euro
pean peace from merited retribution
this appears to us a very wild hypothesis.
The Russian people or, rather, the knot of
eccentrio politicians who impersonate a
people may be jealous of the triumphs of
German arms and of her vast defensive mili
tary organization, which is henceforth to be
supreme in Central Europe. Looking to the
present, and not into some far and shadowy
future, the military supremacy of Germany,
united under Prussian leadership, in Central
Europe should be a guarantee, rather than a
danger or an obstacle, to the peaceful growth
and prosperity of Russia, so long as Russia
remains a defensive power. An alliance with
France is an alliance with the revolution.
This might please the communists, but what
have the old Russian party, the exterminators
of the Polish nationality, what have the new
Russian party, the Panslavio agitators in
Bohemia, to hope from it? If by an alliance
with France the old Russian party means a
division of the empire of the East, it can
hardly be the common interest of the pre
sent neutral powers to prevent Prussia from
exacting full securities against such experi
ments. Russia may regard with evil eyes the
development of German naval power, but this
development is only tne natural and inevita
ble consequence of the territorial extension
and unity of a nation whose mercantile ma
rine is already the second in the world. If
Russia dislikes the unity of Germany, she
must learn to accept one more accomplished
fact. The Russian Government is in no con
dition to go to war to prevent it; and if it
tried to do so, it would seek in vain for allies,
and would provoke disasters compared with
which the retribution that is falling upon the
inordinate ambition and the fi.ebrand policy
of Napoleonic i ranee would be but a passing
cloud.
