Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. TIIE STANTON CONTROVERSY. from the A". T. World. The quarrel over Mr. Stanton's character, which his friends have provoked, is a very Cretty quarrel as it stands. To us, who, aTing our own matured opinions about Mr. Wanton's character, are profoundly indiffer ' ent on the subject, its simple alternatives ara equally satisfactory. Eitber, pending the Buchanan administration, Mr. Stanton was meanly and basely false to his patron and his trusting friends', or else he was technically , "disloyal," and actively engaged is cheating . the Republicans. He may have been both, ' for Mr. Sumner tells us he had "an instino ' tive insight into men and things." Certain it is that Mr. Stanton's fiiends claim for him immunity because he is dead. Had they chosen to pile up positive panegyric on his tomb until, with the festive Mr. Seward, they made him ''almost divine," no one would have said a word. Yet this did not suffice. His raven ous shade had to be propitiated by richer sacrifices. Take the case of Senator Wilson ' and his man Friday Hoar. The latter for 1 Stanton's sake made a dissecting-room of the Supreme Court, and mangled a dead Presi . dent in his honor, to the disgust of all about . him. Rat as Hoar has had his reward, we , say naught more about him. Senator Wilson ateals away to Boston, and collecting all the 1 crisp faggots of its periodical rhetorio, the yery rubbish of the Atlantic, he rears a huge pile, like old Caxon's at Glenwithershins, and , sets it on fire. Oreat and ghastly was the . glare thereof. He laid upon it the dead Mr. 1 Buchanan, and the dead Mr. Toucey, i and the dead Mr. Floyd, and the hide as ; smoke arid loathly smell of this frightful in : cremation dispersed itself throughout the land. Then was it that Judge Black, a friend of at least two of these maltreated dead, in dignantly came forward with his honest words of vindication. ' He spoke strongly, as he felt strongly. He knew that the accusa tions were untrue, and he was loth to believe (though by this time his loyal faith must be a little staggered) that his pet Stanton (for it was Judge Black who gave him his posi tion) could be so false. Judge Black was earnest in tone, and, as he is apt to be, vigor ous in phrase, and his resentful defense of the dead carried dismay into the nest of the slanderers. This was in June last. , It now seems (for this new Atlantic article .tells ns so) that the whole fraternity was . promptly called into council. Seward, and Samner, and Hoar, and Howard, and Holt, and Dawes (and Mrs. Dawes), dii mojores et minoi ts of Massachusetts and Michigan, were ' summoned to Wilson's resoue, and all gave .their testimony. The October magazine . serves up to ns the dish of which there were so many cooks. Its article blazes away at our poor Pennsylvania! like the gun charged i with trumpery which Major Gahagan fired at the elephant. We have not had time to hear ' of its effect in York. . With more than one peculiarity in this 'manifesto the critical reader cannot fail to be struck. Though the memories of Stanton, proving him to have been an original acrid abolitionist of the Lundy school, go back over many years, no dates are given of recent ' occurrences, so that they can be tested, and everything rests upon the present hearsay. It is what Mr. Sumner, or Mr. Dawes, or Mr. Howard says Stanton told him, so that the , slightest flaw of truth in either link separates ' and destroys the whole. Take the great overt aot of Stanton's bullying the Buchanan Cabinet, on a certain occasion. The Bostonese conspirators seek to prove it by telling us that Dawes told Wilson that Holt told . him all about it; and this roundabout evi dence is reinforced by an assertion that Mrs. Dawes ("saint and martyr") "distinctly re members hearing Mr. Stanton tell the story." Besides which, Holt says that "several years ago in the War Department" that is two years after 1800 Stanton read him a letter to Mr Schell, descriptive of the scene, which, however, he dared not send, thinking "such disclosures could not be justified unless made with the consent of the parties to the Cabi net meeting." In other words, as it is not pretended such consent ever was given, he went about retailing the story privately to Mr. Buchanan's bitter enemies, and to the . gossipping women of Washington, bat was ashamed to put it ia writing and send it under , his own signature to a high-spirited and hon orable man like Mr. Schell. Really, this makes the matter muoh worse. To this is opposed the positive testimony of Judge Black, who says he was present on the occasion referred to, and that nothing of ' the kind occurred. As to the credibility and personal integrity of this witness, we can safely say there is not a respectable Repub lican in the State of Pennsylvania, where he is best known and most honored, who will question the veracity of Chief Justice Black, Massachusetts probably believes in Wilson and company, just as it does in the realities of spirit-iapping and the honesty of Hutler. The evidence Senator Wilson adduces as to Stanton's midnight, or rather after mid night, visit to Sumuer for, like the ghost of Alonzo the brave, be came "When the bell had tolled one" and the intrigue, carried on through the agency of a pet patent lawyer, Mr. Peter II Watson, with Seward, with that striking epi ' sode when they met hurriedly in the street and "separated quickly" for fear of being caught as to all these the evidence of the cabal is more direct, and really tends very strongly to Stanton's conviction. We have not room for details, simply reproducing one . paragraph taken from Dawes' communication to the Boston Vongregationali&t, for these people always have a religions twang and love to mix piety and slander. We beg the reader to observe tnat, aitnougn Mr. Toucey, now dead, is clearly meant, tne writer shrank from mentioning his name: In an article written lmroedlateyl after the death of Mr. Stanton aud published in the CongrjHn mlist of Boston, he stated that soma ef the moat Im portant aud secret plana of the conspirators became , know a aud were thwarted by means of cominanlua- tioas from Mr. Stanton to the committee. "One a a member or that committee," said Mr. Dawes la this article, 'Tead by the light of the street lamp tlieae words : 'Secretary Is a traitor, depeud upon It. lie declared In Oaitluet to-day that be dii not want to deliver tlila Uoverunient mtaut into the haada of the black Republicans. Arrest ultn in stantly, or ail will be lost.' The paper went back to Its nming-piace, tut tne secretary, though he . walked the street unmolested, was watuhed from , mat hour.' And all this time Stanton was associating '. with Secretary Touoey on terms of apparent confidence and friendliness I One other word, and we drop this fetid snbieot for the moment. In Seward's certifl ' oate it ia expressly stated that Stanton always ' expressed "entire oenfidenoe in the loyalty of ' the President ana 01 tne Heads or tne depart menta who remained in association with him nutil the close of tht adminUtrntion." two ui ttioui brting Isaao Toucey and Jeremiah 8 jUiack ! How long the patience and forbear ance of those who are interested in the fair fame of the late President Buchanan, of whom the mildest phrase here nsed is "a feeble, blind, broken-down old man," will endure, we cannot sny. But this we have reason to believe, that they have in their possession evidenoc, in Mr. Stanton's own handwriting, which shows that he was a pro fessing friend and admirer of President Buchanan to the last, that he thought most disparagingly of the sainted Lincoln, and that he despised the whole crew of the radi cal leaders, including Seward himself. The truth in this matter, also, will some day see j the light. . . . EARL RUSSELL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. Frvm th tf. P. Times. Our special correspondent in London tele graphed us a few days sinoe that Earl Russell had been commnnicating his views to the publio on the questions of international law now arising between Prussia and Ureat Bri tain. The venerable statesman is reported as affirming the position, on these grave sub jects, which was originally taken by Washing ton, undoubtedly under the especial influence of Hamilton, expounded in our Neutrality act of 1791, and subsequently confirmed and amplified in the amended act of 18 18. These views of - international obligation i formed the basis also of the British legislation on this important matter. In fact, before 1811. there were no acts of Parliament to preserve British neu trality. The legislation of Washington and Hamilton, adopted by Congress, was copied. inmost of iU feav ares, by-the- British ad ministration, and appears in the famous 'Toreign Enlistment act of 1810, of which we had such unfortunate experience during the rebellion. The very articles in our own acts which were omitted in the British no doubt with design-r-would have saved all the trouble which we had from British interfer ence in our civil war. Had "the legislation of Washington," of which Earl Russell speaks now so admiringly, been exactly followed in the Hritish acts, or even the spirit of it imi tated by Earl Russell's own administration. no Alexandra or Alabama would have escaped from British ports. Ibe Prussian claims, if they are correctly reported, of which, probably, Earl Russell is satisfied, would not be sustained by any por tion of our legislation. The Prussian Gov ernment is reported as being indignant that, while Great Britain is professedly neutral, she permits arms and contraband of war to be sent over to the French and sold to them; so that, in fact, a neutral is supporting or arming one belligerent against another. It might perhaps be a desirable improvement in international law if neutrals were forbid den to sell any material of war to either bel ligerent, and the act were oonsidered a vio lation of neutrality. Common sense, which is the basis of international law, , teaches that war ought not to be supported by the aid of. neutrals.. Nor would it be enough. from this point of view, to eay that the merchandise is sent forth as a private ven ture, and that the injured belligerent can capture it if she is able. The belligerent may be situated as Prussia is now, and not able to command the seas, so that a war might be protracted by the assistance of a party, at peace with both combatants. Moreover, our code teaches that a nation is "bound by its own supreme authority to execute international justice and law. whether it has municipal legislation or not. Were it the custom of nations to forbid the export of arms as private merchandise from a neutral port to a bellieerent, and were this international law, Great' Britain would be obliged to execute it towards Prussia, whether her enlistment acts sanctioned it or not. But, unfortunately for the Prussian demands, it is not. All "the legislation of Washing ton" the acts of 170t and 1818, and the British act of 1819 expressly allow arms and contraband of war to be exported by private individuals at their own risk and venture. They are liable, of course, to seizure and confiscation by the Injured bel ligerent, but that is all. The sending them, or permitting them to be sent, by a neutral, is not itself an act of war, nor an infraction of neutrality. - Ibe preparing of hostile expeditions in a neutral territory is, of course, such an in fraction; as is also the arming or increasing the armament of belligerent cruisers, or any purchase of arms for either .or those pur poses. Hut tne purely mercantile or private sale of arms or material of war by the traders of a neutral or , the individual subieots of a belligerent has never been forbidden. In deed, according to international usage, any English merchant might now build and arm a vessel, and otter her for sale in Liverpool to the French. He might send ner out as a commercial venture, with regu lar papers, to Havre, filled with rifles and eannon, and sell her there, without violating any neutrality legislation or any previous custom existing between nations. The dis tinction, indeed, would be a delicate one, in such a case, between a "hostile expedition" and a commercial enterprise, and the bellige rent might reasonably object; but if "com mercial intent" were proved, no British or American court would condemn or detain the vessel. Still more clearly is the private export of arms, with the risk of seizure, per mitted. But all international law must be formed by reasonable precedents. The Prusiians have reformed the art of war. They may also change the code of peaoe; and they may reasonably claim that such private protract ing of war by a neutral shall in future cease. and pledge themselves to a like obligation when they in turn are in the position of neu trals. They may demand in the name of jus tice and common sense that a power at peaoe should not equip and arm a power at war, and thus lengthen the struggle. Such a demand could not be deemed unreasonable by any of the powers which may be engaged ia future conflicts. TIIE PRUSSIAN SOLDIERY. From tUN.T.Tiibune. The London Spectator, apropos to the aupe rior material of the Prussian forces, says: "We eonfess we cannot believe in educated pawns. Educated soldiers will think more critically about the military policy than un educated; will be apter to discern if their Uvea are thrown away to no purpose; will necessarily feel distrust sooner, and this criticising ana rationalizing spirit in the naiads of the troops will be of a paralyzing Kind, and tend to mutiny li tney nave not full right to put perfect faith in the ability of their leaders. The successes of the Prussian soldiery, it urges, is no argument in favor of culture among the rank and file because they do have the requisite faith in their leaders. The problem proposed by the Spect itor is one that increases in importance with every year, aa it is only the present century which has produced the phenomenal spectacle of great armies possessing individual culture 'tonal to those of Prussia, or our own during; the civil war. War is, in essence, the appti tatioa ol brute force to aubserro a moral par. pose; the question become a vital one, whether that force is more effective or not as it loses its resemblance to mere machinery. The fpeetn tor hardly meets the point at issue. The educated soldier is not likely to be edu cated in the art of war. The general conduct of a battle is, as everybody knows, a matter of whioh the subordinate officers even have but the vaguest conception while it is in progress. The printer, t,r lawyer, or mer chant, serving in the ranks would have certainly but little opportunity to oriticise the tactic;? of their leaders, and, from the mere fact that education teaches the necessity of discipline and obedience, would not be half ao likely to do it as the ignorant boor whose only motive to subordination is fear. Be sides, the better a man comprehends his own business the more likely is he to resnent the knowledge of another man which he has never mastered. In any exceptional case. too. the culture of the common soldier would un doubtedly render him more effective. An army fights no worse, surely, be cause, when exigency requires (as was so often the case with our Northern trcops), it can produce from the ranks architects, engineers, surgeons every prac tical handicraftsmen if needed. The theory that educated men without faith in their leaders would be more apt to mutiny, can be disproved by the unflinching patienoe with which our troops, both in the North and South, stood in the jaws of death while com manders and policy were changed again and again, and each time, as they well knew, for cause. Our rank and file, too, unlike the Prussians, were men, in ordinary life, not only unused to discipline but accustomed to make and unmake both their leaders and policy. "lhe educated pawn," no doubt, will be the safest and boldest piece to play, provided always that he, too, has his heart in the game. Here comes the rub, which the Spec tator does not seem to have seen. The edu cated Prussian or American consents to be a tool when the motive seems worthy of the sacrifice; but the days of unreasoning masses oi reel ciotn ana pipe-ciay, moving steadily to death with no idoa of the why or where fore, beyond a Vague notion of pluck and glory and their pay, are well nigh over. It would ue worth while to ask, too, whether, when the pawns arc a little better educated than now, they will not be inclined to ques tion whether the game could not be pl.yed in some altogether different fashion? Whether brute force is the fairest and most rational method of discovering the justice of a moral ques tion? We look with disgust at our grand- lathers when they referred the defense of a woman's honor, or a property claim, or a re ligious truth, to the decision of a single com bat. In our enlightenment we have done away with the pistol and duello. But we leave our national questions of right and wrong not to tne arbitrament of common Rense and justice, as represented by a con ference of the wisest and clearest-sighted among the people, but to the blind brute force of masses of men, to the Chassepot and the mitrailleuse. These be the cods who decide for us. We have not much hope in the plans of any so-called peace party, but we have absolute faith in the growing commen sense of mankind, and we believe that our grandchildren will consult other oracles than ours. THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE NEW REPUBLIC. . tram. iMe W. Y. Hun. France will soon present the spectacle of a country beleaguered in all directions by foreign armies, and Lyons will probably be added veiy soon to Paris, Metz, and the other cities besieged bv the Prussians. Ibe great inequality in the condition of France and Germany consists in this: that while reverses could not considerably affect the integrity of the latter country, even a series of victories could hardly restore the prestige of France. The German " soil has not been invaded, and, the adult population beiog all trained soldiers, there cannot be any dimoulty in reinforcing the army. But France has been overrun by the enemy; some of her most important provinces are in his possession; the masses of the people, whatever may be their patriotio enthusiasm, are novices in military discipline and science; and, as we have experienced in this country, it is muoh easier for an absolute ruler than for the complicated and many- headed machinery of free institutions to con trol events in time cf war. , The Southerners, without a navy, and with a comparatively small army, but yielding obedienoe to the one-man power of Jefferson Davis, were thus enabled to hold at bay during four long years the immense armies and fleets of the United States Government. How much greater, then, is the advantage of the Prussian mon archists over the i renoh republicaas, since, in addition to the greater unity of action that belongs to autocratio governments, they are numerically and strategically superior to the shattered x renoh forceB. No doubt, as in the days of the first Re public and its conflicts with the thrones of Europe, Trochu or some other great mili tary leader may come to the rescue of the lm perilled nation, and convert the present hu miliation into transcendent glory. But if it be true that history tends to repeat itself, there must be, to begin with, some analogy with the events whioh paved the way for the triumph of the great Napoleon, and this analogy does not exist. Un the contrary, instead of being overrun bv foreign nations. the first RepubTio was the invader, and no monarchical soldier denied the Boil of Repub lican France while Napoleon was oarrying war into the heart of monarchies. It was only when the uncle, as in our times the nephew, proved faithless to the Republia and donned the imperial livery, that fortune began to desert him, and the invaders came to dictate terms of peace in Pans. But while the first Napoleonic Empire de rived its glory and 6plendor from the victo ries achieved during the. previous repuouoau era, the republia of 1870 inherits all the calamities and has to contest against the invading enemies brought upon her by the infamies ef the Second Empire. The republi cans of 1870 cannot, like those in the begin ning of thiscentury.strengthen their oause by spreading terror in the ranks of kings, and by sending out their legions to belenguer the capitals of monarchs. Alas! they begin the work of freedom while engaged in a hope less conflict with the mightiest King of the age. Instead of having armies to spare to besiege Cologne and Berlin, they can hardly gather sufficient force to save Paris and Lyons. The republic begins, therefore, with misfortunes and difficulties whioh will only cover it with the greater glory if it should prove able to sustain itself, and save the country that has been demoralized and ruiaed by the one-man power. OUR CREDIT IN EUROPE. Firm the Cfctago Tribune, The American Register, a weekly journal of 1 aru, dovolod, iw ia wail kuowu, to Auto- licona aud their, interests, la aa article oa American bends abroad in its .issue of Sep t ember 10, has this paragraph: in spite or the strata upon financial affairs tn Ea rope, tn consequence of the war, I tilted States secu rities rise in European markets. Toe tram is, bstn capitalist! and the people who have any money f invent igia w ape mat we not only pay a higher Interest than any other great power on the national debt, but that realty there are no securities safer, if kh safe, aa oar. While other nations can scarcely mane ooin enua meet, wnue tuey nave little or nt prospect of paying their debts, and while every et trarrditary strain upon their finances adds to their inuemeaneBS, our country is paying off Its debt at the rate of a hundred millions and upwards a year. In fact our debt, large as the figures nre, U but a bagatelle when compared with the vast resources and wonderful growth of the country. It la not sur prising, men, mat our uonas rise in tne European markets It ia more surprising, indeed, that they have not rlen much higher thau the nreaent Quota tions. Whatever may happen la Europe, tin wealth aru inngiiiucrni ni'ure oi irte American republic are tuch that it will be no dlrheultv to meet its liatn Itttra, and to pay oil' within a few yeara the principal of the debt." . . One of the very remarkable phenomena of the war in Europe is theslight disturbance in finan cial affairs that have taken plaoe. There have been some dajs of panic in Paris, but every where else throughout Europe, with but the slightest exceptions, financial affairs have gone on about as usuaL No such thing ever happened under similar circumstances be fore. For there is not only war, with no sure prespect of its speedy termination, between two of the great powers, but civil commo tions are threatened in many parts of the con tinent, inpsin is in the condition of a vol cano just preceding eruption. The temporal power of the l'apacy has just been thrown suddenly and ridiculously down. A lowering war cloud has airtady appeared in the East. England is nearer civil war than she has been before for two centuries. And there has been no general financial crisis whatever, whilst United States bonds are steady in the market, improving rather than declining in price. If we search for the reason of this remark able financial situation, we shall find it in the very fact of the presence of United States bonds in te markets of Europe. The natu ral effect of war in a country is to make money scarce, un account of the uncertain ties of the future there is a tendency to hoard cash. Creditors call in their debts as rapidly as possible, and put a stop to further credits. Money that is owing abroad passes out of the country. Hence great disturb ances and fluctuations, end not seldom, on the outqreak of war, disastrous panics. Heretofore, in Europe, all debts were paid in gold and silver coin, which passed aud repassed from country to country, making successive stringency and redundancy. But now there is a substitute for coin, more convenient, and hardly less popular, with the advantage over coin of bearing interest and increasing in value. This substitute is composed of American securities. More salable than any other kind of property, they have served to pay debts between the ditierent countries, so that violent disturbances in the circulating medium have thus been prevented. And so it happens, singularly enough, that the debt ef the United States has prevented a calamitous financial crisis in Europe ! Ameri can securities have thus done a service,, or at least been . chiefly instrumental therein, scarcely lass beneficent to the people of Europe than would be the prevention of war; for the miseries resulting from a general financial crash are only less than the miseries resulting from war. lhere is much to demand profound reflec tion by financiers in this notable situation. It is quite the reverse of what wai genarally Supposed would b the reaolt 'of tho war. It was believed that our bonds would forthwith be returned to the United States and sold for what they would fetch in gold. On the con trary, it would appear that had the amount held abroad . been much larger than it is,, it might have been used to the great benefit of the countries directly or indirectly auected as to their finances by the war. We may readily conclude that the result will inevitably be to improve the price of our securities, in the futnre, abroad, and also, of course, at home. SPECIAL NOTICES.
