WHAT ARE TIIE dlANCES OF PLACE ?
From the A. I'. Herald.
The most reliable news, seemingly, of the
efforts made for peace or the ohanoe there
might be of peace, comes from what is termed
the .semi-official statement of the London
Observer. From this it appears that Lord
Lyons, the British Minister- in France, was
conducting negotiations between Jnles Favre
and Bismarck, and that a brief armistice had
been arranged pending these efforts. Another
telegram from London, which came later,
says that a rumor prevails that the negotia
tions between Jules Favre and Bismarck
through the English Legation have resulted
unfavorably and that there is now no hope of
an armistice. There seems to be little doubt,
therefore, that the British government did
ive the public to understand that it was en
deavoring to bring about peace. Was this
done to soothe the English people, who were
clamoring for a recognition of the French
republic? Or did the British government
really make a serious effort for an armistioe
and for peace?
It would be very interesting to know on
what grounds England made the proposition,
what views she expressed to the belligerents
and to what end she is working. If she
were really desirous of seeing peace restored
through the onlv existing authorities in
France, she would accomplish that much
better and sooner by following the example
of the United States, Switzerland, and Italy in
recognizing the de facto republican govern
ment of France, than by any other course.
The motive of England in the step she is re
ported to have taken for an armistice and
peace negotiations arises, it is said, from her
fear of a republican propaganda, the trouble
this would cause the governments of Europe
and the ominous rumors afloat concerning
the projeots of Russia and Austria in the
East. The frank and prompt recognition of
the French republio by England would have
a great effect upon the King of Prussia as
well as upon the other governing powers of
Europe. It would lead, probably, to an
early peace. But the monarchists and aris
tocrats of England are in this dilemma they
are afraid of sanctioning a republican govern
ment in France on the one hand and dread
the consequences of a republican propaganda
and republican fury on the other should the
French nation be driven to desperation.
The truth is, there is no sinoerity, no
honest and outspoken policy by any of the
great powers of Europe except by the French
republic. The de facto republican government
of France declares boldly its policy and its
wish to make peace. Even Prussia is afraid
to avew that it is now making war on the
French republio, for the people of Germany
and the people of Europe .generally could
not approve of that. King William pre
tends that the de facto government of
France is no government at all and that
he cannot treat with it for peace. This
is mere pretence, to cover up bis hos
tility to and fear of republicanism. If by
any acoident a king or emperor had been
proclaimed in Paris some dynasty that he
could approve of we should soon have
heard of peace negotiations, though such a
ruler might not have anything like the popu
lar support the Provisional Republican Gov
ernment has. Peace is not made because
there is any necessity for carrying the war
further, because the French are unwilling to
make peace, even with great sacrifices, but
beoause the King and aristocracy of Prussia,
secretly backed by the other monarchs and
aristocraoies of Europe, are hostile to the
republio and wish to crush it. It is all
false pretense. Prussia and the rest are act
ing deceitfully because they are afraid to tell
the truth.
We hear now, through the European mo
. narchical channels of information, that the
"reds" are rising in France. Some few ex
tremists may be making a fuss, but this does
not amount to much. The republican gov
ernment and mass of the republican people
are disposed to establish and maintain order,
and they will do so, we believe, if not pre
vented by hostile powers outside. Of course
King William and the European monarchists
and aristocrats generally will make the most
of every little demonstration of the "reds" to
throw discredit upon the republio. It is quite
likely, indeed, that they may foment such
difficulties in France through spies and secret
agents to serve their own purposes. There
is a fair prospect for a permanent republican
government being established in Franoe now
if the French be left to their own free action.
From the report that the King of Prussia
will not treat with the republio and will only
negotiate with the Bonapartes being reite
rated so often, we conclude that this is the
position he baa taken and that there lies the
difficulty in making peace. He pretends, it
is said, that the de facto republican govern
ment can give no guarantee of peace, that it
may be only short lived, and that it might
not be able to carry out the terms of a treaty
of peace. This might be said of any other
government of a government under the Bo
napartes or Orleans dynasty. If the Bonapartes
be forced upon the French again by Prussian
bayonets, after the Emperor having been cap
. tured and the Regency having run away, and
after the humiliation and disgrace they have
brought upon France, does King William
imagine they would have a better chance of
maintaining their power than the republio
has its power ? Or does he suppose the Or
leanists, forced upon Franca in the same way,
could maintain their authority better than
the republio can its authority ? The French
would never submit to any government forced
upon them by a foreign cenquerer. Instead
of obtaining a guarantee of lasting peace
Prussia would leave the seeds of revolution
and future trouble. It is doubtful, indeed, if
Napoleon or the Empress Eugenie and her
son would venture to go back to Paris if
invited by the Prussians. Every way the
King of Prussia is in great difficulty. He has
a monstrous elepnant on bis hands that be
knows not what to do with. Unpleasant as it
may be to him, the best way is to make peace
with the de facto republican government.
lie needs no other guarantee of peace than
the wonderful success his armies have made
and the power that Germany has developed
By refusing to make peace with the republio he
may intensify the war and raise such a furor
in ranee as might strain his power and re
Sources to the utmost. The taking of Paris
would not settle anything and would only be
another large elephant on his hands. No, the
only solution of his difficulty now is to make
peaoe wun te republic
NEGOTIATIONS AND OPERATIONS AT
PARIS.
From the S. T. Tribune,
The isolation of Paris is at length com
plete, xne last railway lines by which non-
combatants coma escape or te garrison re
ceive supplies were severed on Monday at
Conflans, either by the extension of the
Prussian right wing or the operations of its
cavalry from the north, and at -Versailles,
TTt t mi
wmcn nas Deen occupied dj we unians. xne i
crescent has become a circle about Paris as I
about Sedan, though it is a broader and
weaker one here than there, and Paris is not,
like Sedan, wholly at the mercy of its ene
mies, without the power or the spirit to resist
the process of contraction and strangulation
which Is to follow.
The investment has not been completed
without fighting, though this has not been of
the severe character whiah first reports sug
gested. ' The southern defenses of the city,
extending from the left bank of the Marne at
Creteil across the Seine to Versailles, are
commanded by a light range of hills, known
as the heights of Meudon and Bagneux.
When the forts were built rifled cannon were
unknown; and since the introduction of these
long-range weapons there has been no effort
on the part of the Pai isians to fortify the
commanding points. When the purpose of
the Prussians to seize this range was made
evident, a large force of French
troops marched out of the city and
occupied it, driving off the Uhlans who had
already seized the woods on its summit.
South of this range there is a second line of
hills at Villeneuve le Roy and Brunay. This
latter range the Germans have occupied
in force. There is no positive evidenoe that
tney are in great numbers on any other
part of the line of investment, but such
a conclusion cannot altogether be disre
garded. It is not safe, therefore, to de
duce from the developments on the south
ern front that the struggle is to take place
there. With the Prussians in possession of
the heights of Meudon and Bagneux the
forts on the "southern line," as the
section of the defenses from the Seine
to Versailles is called, would be untenable;
but there are also other weak spots in the
line on the western side, which is defended
by only one fort. Of course all these posi
tions have been strengthened since the siege
became a probability, and against the active
demonstrations of the Prussians the resist
ance of the French may for a time prove suc
cessful. But it should not be forgotten by
those who are doubtful of the issue of the
siege now begun that no soldier has yet
6olved the problem of provisioning a city of
two millions of inhabitants for a siege of a
month or two, and time cannot but reduce
Paris, if German artillery does not.
J. be negotiations which we have hoped
would render the siege of Paris unnecessary
have not yet ended in success. It is encour
aging, however, to know that they have not
been abandoned. A secretary of the English
Minister has succeeded in reaching Bismarck
at llheims, and has learned that he is more
positive than ever in his demands for the
occupation of Metz and Strasburg, and the
cession of Alsace and Lorraine It is also
encouraging to know that the Prussian Pre
mier is willing to treat with anv
government in France competent
to redeem its guarantees; and
that M. Favre has gone to Meaux to meet
Count Bismarck. It is not believed in France
that the people will consent to such terms as
are insisted upon, until they become more
helpless, more humiliated, than they now
consider themselves to be. To all appear
ance Prussia is resolved to yield nothing of
her just demands. The only hope of im
mediate peace is that M. Jules Favre will
take the humane, common-sense view of the
situation, and accede to them. Suoh an
act may prove his ruin, but it will be
the salvation of France. He may not re
ceive but he will deserve the gratitude of hia
country; for though he cannot thus save her
from humiliation, he can save her from fur
ther desolation.
ANDREW JOHNSON AND THE DE
MOCRACY.
From the JV. F. Time.
Mr. Andrew Johnson is happiest when
most unhappy. That may seem a paradoxi
cal description of his habit and condition, but
it is a true one. As President, be was in his
element only when finding fault with Con
gress, playing Mentor on constitutional ques
tions to the country, and predicting ruin if
his advice were not accepted. He was the
evil prophet of his official day, and took a
gloomy pleasure in prognosticating disaster
as the result of the Republican policy. Take
him at his word, and nobody but Andrew
Johnson, and nothing but the Democraoy,
could save the nation from the dogs. To a
patriot, that must have been a painful convic
tion. And yet the pertinacity, the self-complacency,
the tone of mingled exultation and
defiance, which marked his Presidential ca
reer, implied enjoyment as near to felicity as
is compatible with a combative nature in a
transitory world.
When the ex-President returned to Tennes
see, he took his place in the Demooratio
party. None in this broad land better knew
what that party has been and is. With a full
knowledge of its traitorous course during the
war, he preferred to renew affiliation with it
rather than to remain even remotely con
nected with the party to which he- had been
indebted for high official position. For him,
however, the path of private duty had no
charms. He fought hard for a Senatorship
and was defeated. Thee he announced his
purpose to run for the lower branch of
Congress. And now we have him once
more on the stump, delighted with remem
brances of his own reoord, but absolutely
miserable in the recital of the heresies and
blunders of his dear friends, the Democrats
of Tennessee.
What is the matter? The Tennessee plat
form embodies a resolution wmcn Mr. John
Bon condemns as "favoring a restoration of
the Southern States to their rights as sove
reign States of the Amerioan Union." He
declares that this is "secession and revolu
tion in diguise." The preoise words of the
resolution are tnese:
"That tte Southern States should be Immedi
ately restored to their rights under the Constitu
tion of the United states, as sovereign states of the
American Union."
We quite agree with Mr. Johnson that
this proposition is equivalent to secession
ana revolution. It means an upsetting of all
that the Republican party has accomplished,
and the restoration of the South to the status
it occupied before the war. But wherein
does the doctrine of this resolution differ
from the dootrine taught by A. J. in a
series of veto messages and BDeechea from
the steps of the White House, or from the
view held by the National Democraoy, with
wnom a. v. at uiia moment reoommen&a "a
close alliance?"
Mr. Johnson told his audience on Saturday
night that the principles on which the Federal
Government was organized "had been sub
verted since the war." The irreconoilables
who constructed the Tennessee platform
affirm neither more nor less than that. He
said the same again and again when advocating
"my policy" at Washington. He insisted
that the States subject to the Reconstruction
laws were deprived of their constitutional
right, and be endeavored without ceasing to
frustrate those laws, and to suataia tue de
mand for restoration of another kind. With1
what grace can he now abuse the Tennessee
Democrats as seoensionista and revolutionists?
In this natter they have aooepted his own
ideas.. What he expanded into speech or
message, they condense into a resolution;
and they will be indignant that the most
dangerous adversary reconstruction ever had
scolds them for reaffirming his old opinion.
XI be BtiU thinks that tbe constitution has
been subverted in the matter of reconstruc
tion and his Gallatin address proves that he
does with what consistency can this most
constant of grumblers object to the Tennes
see Democracy?
The resolution condemned by Mr. Johnson
is followed by another which he does not
condemn, but the drift of which is quite as
clearly towards secession and revolution. It
reads:
"Ketolvtd, That we regard the act recently passed
by Uorgress to enforce the fifteenth amendment as
unconttltutional, nnjust, and oppressive, an Inva
sion of the lights of the States, subversive of the
bent interests or tne people, ana tnererore urge its
unconditional repeal."
Now, as the act referred to is merely the
exercise of an authority specially conferred
upon Congress, and aims at no more than
giving practical effect to the principle esta
blished by the amendment, it is clear that
the resolution is really directed against the
amendment itself. We hazard little in con
jecturing that the ex-President concurs with
tbis boBtile interpretation of the law, and of
the amendment it was intended to carry into
operation.' Yet in what material respect does
the spirit and purport of the resolution passed
over eileiitly by Mr. Johnson differ from that
which he inconsistently assails?
Besides, how would the Tennessee platform
be modified by that "close alliance" with the
National Democracy which Mr. Johnson re
commendH? The last time the National De
mocracy opened its mouth it endorsed a poliGy
identical with that which is to-day before Ten
nessee. Indeed, the Tennessee Convention
has only returned to the position taken by the
National Convention in 1808, and still held by
the great body of the party. Mr. Johnson's
predicament is not a pleasant one, but it is of
bis own making.
MAKING BLACK WHITE.
From the A. T. World.
It is, we presumo, part of the prerogative
of Philadelphia lawyers, who, time out of
mind, have refused to be puzzled, in their
tHrn to puzzle other people. We confess
ourselves sorely perplexed by some contra
dictory judicial action recently in our sister
city. There are, as well as we understand it,
in Philadelphia two local courts of nearly
concurrent jurisdiction the Common Pleas
and the District Court and to each, being a
court of record, the naturalization of foreign
ers is by act of Congress delegated. Some
months ago, after the (so-called) passage of
tbe fifteenth amendment, a negro alien ap
plied for naturalization to the District Court.
The judges of this court, three in num
ber, are pronounced Republicans, and
probably members of the Union League.
They are said to be thorough and accom
plished lawyers and independent men. Deriv
ing their whole jurisdiction from an act or acts
of Congress, they naturally looked at the stat
utes and found that their power to naturalize
was expressly limited to the free white man.
In vain was the amendment brandished in
their faces the letter of their direct commis
sion was too plain, and the Republican judges
decided they could not naturalize the negro
alien. So matters rested till within a day or
two, when the Common Pleas, fit rather one
judge of it, was appealed to and he, if we
mistake not, a Democrat and this is his
decision:
ftThe amendment commonly known as the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United States
swept away the distinction of color, and the section
of the act approved July 14, 1870. lu fact repeals as
to aliens of African nativity and persons of African
descent so much of the act of 20th May, 1824, as
limits the application of that act to "free white
persons." An alien of African nativity or of African
descent Is therefore placed in the position of a a
alien being a "free white person ;" If, therefore, an
African or a person of African descent came Into the
conntry before he was 18 years of age, aud hai re
Bided in the conntry as Is provided by the terms of
the act of Congress of May 26, 1824, he is entitled to
naturalization. Satisfactory proof having been
made in this case, it is my plain duty, under the
amendment to the Constitution of the Unltad States
and the act of Congress, approved July 14, 1S70, to
administer to this petitioner the oath of allegiance.
It is not for us laymen to presume to say
which is right in the view of the law the
aggregated Republican wisdom of the District
Court or the sweeping Democratic audacity of
him of the Common Pleas. Technical men
naturally incline to that view which is . cau
tious and guarded and guided by the letter of
the law. But surely Philadelphia Democ
racy can no longer be charged with antipathy
to the negro race when one of its distin
guished jurists so gallantly comes to the res
cue, and with a dash of his pen "sweeps
away" mere acts of Congress, puts the negro
on a footing with the Teuton and the Celt,
and literally makes black by the will of
Heaven white by a constitutional amend
ment. SPECIAL NOTICES.
