Tllfi DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1870.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1870.
The Age day after day contained frantio
fippervla to the Republican papers to either
explain or denounce what it termed "the
diabolical soheme of the radical aldermen to
defraud the publio and violate the laws which
they were sworn to support." We yesterday
endeavored to satisfy our contemporary by
Showing that, in the first plaoe, there had
been no violation of the law, and that,
in the second plaoe, the Democrats
had been accorded all their equitable
rights by being allowed to appoint their own
election officers. That our statement of the
Case was conclusive, if not satisfactory, is
Bhown by the fact that all the Age has to say
In reply is that The Teleoraph published in
its own columns a full refutation of its facts
and arguments, in' the announcement that a
motion was made yesterday in the Court of
Common Pleas to set aside the appointment
Of Democratio canvassers by the Board of
Aldermen, on the ground that they are not
jualifled, and that they were appointed in
fraud of the Democrats. The Age makes the
funny mistake of confounding a motion in
court by a oouple of Democratio lawyers
with a deoision of the Court, and although it
may impose upon some of the rank and file
of the Democracy, the intelligent men of its
own party will only smile. We challenge the
Age to controvert our statements of yester
day, and it will be time enough for it to
argue from the case brought into court yes
terday when the case is decided.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN
FRANCE.
The late news from France indicates that the
elections of a Constituent Assembly have not
been called one moment too soon. The
power of the Provisional Government is
questioned or defied in various quarters, and
it is imperatively necessary that a central
authority which will command universal re
spect, and which is chosen by the whole
nation, should be speedily established. There
is a manifest tendenoy to disintegration,
which is aggravated by the presence of the
invaders on French soil, and it cannot be
thoroughly corrected until the whole country
unites in establishing a government based on
the will of a majority of the entire voting
population instead of the wishes of the
Parisians. We see evidences of this tendency
in the reported outbreaks in Nice and Savoy
in favor of a reannexation to Italy, in the
revolt of the Arabs and threatened loss of the
French possessions in Africa, in the rumor
that Bazaine will not obey the orders of
Favre and his associates in the ominous re
port that Lyons and Paris are not in political
accord, and in the demands which a central
republican committee in the city of Paris are
making upon the Provisional Government.
A cure for these discords, however, has
already been provided, and if France ha9
learned wisdom from her former republican
experiments she will obey the present rulers
until others can be empowered by the Consti
tuent Assembly. The greatest obstaole to a
permanent popular government is to be
found in the ultra radicalism of the Red Re
publicans, and their longings for a new
social organization which will not only reform
politioal abuses, but equalize wealth and
create a Utopia. Their scheme is as pleasing
to their disordered imaginations as it is hor
rible in its practical application to real life,
and in grasping at a shadow they are forever
losing the substance of rational and well
secured liberty. As France is the cradle of
socialism, and as many of her writers and
thinkers, as well as her workmen, have
learned to treat dreams of a Golden Age as
bright realities, it is impossible to say how
much influence the Red Republicans may
exert in moulding the future of the nation,
but it is scarcely probable that they will pos
sess a majority in the Constituent Assembly
about to be elected.
The overthrow and disgrace of all the
(Ad dynasties give to the nation a splendid
opportunity for establishing free institutions.
Now since the Bonapartes are shelved with
the Bourbons and Orleanists, the people
have only to prove their capacity for self
government by suppressing the excesses of
the impracticable radicals on the one hand,
and preventing the establishment of a new
dictatorship on the other. Their success
may hinge upon the manner in which they
extricate themselves from the military perils
by which they are surrounded; but we can
scarcely believe that the movement to which
they are indebted for the overthrow of the
empire, and the consequent creation of their
present political opportunity,' will enure, in
its termination, to their disadvantage. The
Prussians unwittingly brought ' liberty to
France as a compensation for the sufferings
and horrors of invasion, and it seems too
dreadful for belief that their departure should
be signalized by a withdrawal of this boon.
Whatever may be the future course of the
war, or the character of the treaty by which
. it is closed, France, after suffering and doing
so much to spread freedom in other coun
tries, has a legitimate claim to the consola
tion which has sprung up, like a star of hope,
from her present gloom, and we trust that it
may never again be lost in a long Bight of
despotism.
REVENUE REFORM. ;
The American Free Trade League is un.
Usually busy this season in circulating tracts
opposed to protection, and its members are
making strenuous efforts to elect a majority
Of free trade members of the next Congress.
Outside of Pennsylvania the Democratio
party everywhere openly espouses the doo
trines of this organization, and while there
bra a few Republicans who assist it, the main
body of that party in all sections of the
Country are the Una friends of American
Industry.
The fallacies of free trade have been so
frequently exposed that these agitators seek
1 to disguise their real object by adopting the
title of revenue reformers, but their publica
tions are all devoted to the interests of foreign
manufacturers and to a restoration of the in
dustrial supremacy of Great Britain in
American markets.
The success of their schemes would be the
greatost possible calamity that could be in
flicted on the State of Pennsylvania and the
city of Philadelphia. The agricultural pro
ducts of this Commonwealth are not sufficient
to sustain its own inhabitants, and the trade
and commerce of its citizens extend little be
yond the supply of their immediate wants.
Our chief source of wealth is, therefore, to be
found in our varied manufacturing and
mining interests, and the agitators who strike
at the prosperity of these great interests are
more dangerous to us than the most im
placable publio enemies. All parties in the
State profess to favor protection,
but the voters in every district should be
careful to elect able, firm, and unflinching
advocates of the doctrines which are so vi
tally essential to their welfare, and they
should Bend no man to Congress whose fidelity
is in the slightest degree doubtful. It is
especially important,since a few Republicans
in other States are becoming unsound on the
tariff, that Pennsylvania should present a
united and vigorous front, and that her
Democratio as well as her Republican repre
sentatives should be true as.'steel to her diver
sified industry.
