Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. LOSS OF LIFE IN WAU. l 'rm the A. F. Timet. The shocking slaughter which has charac terized recent European battles has naturally directed attention to the comparative blood shed of these and former struggles, and sug gested estimates of the practical bearing on the question of the new weaponB of war fare. Whether rifled cannon, the zundartdcU gewehr and mitrail'cme are or are not, as the guillotine was alleged to be, beneficent in ventions, appears to depend on those calcula tions. 1'or if it should appear that, while war costs no more men than formerly, it is much sooner over, and that this is in an appreciable measure consequent on the use of better or inoie effective weapons, the affirmative of this proposition roust be accepted. War can cerus non-combatants as well as others, aad the sbotler it is the better, of course, for all industrial interests. If 100,000 men must be killed it is better for their country that they should be killed in a month than in a jear. A recognition of this principle would stem in part to have inspired the existing l'rusbiun military pystem. The acsounts that reach us of the current strife are cer tainly terrible and distressing. The details of mangled bodies of "colored rags, glued together with blood and brainB, and pinned jbi fantastic shapes with bits of bone," are sickening beyond measure. It ii, however, a debatable question, granting that war must still be, whether the soldier is worse oft' for going through a great danger for a short time rather than a considerable danger for a long time. An examination of some details of the loss of life in past and recent battles will assist the formation of intelli gent opinion. For the losses as well as the numbers en gaged in the battles of antiquity, we have but tmcei tain data. Such history as we possess asserts that at Marathon 10,000 Greeks over threw ."00,000 Persians, and that 200,000 of tLe latter were slain. This, of course, is the Greek hi:-tory, and not the Persian. At the taking of Jerusalem by Titus more than 1,000,000 Jews are believed to have perished. At Kaissus, when Claudius defeated the GolLs, it in said 300,000 of the latter were killed. The siege of Acre cost an equal number of Christian soldiers. At the battla of Hustings 30,000 wore killed a vast propor tion of the numbers engaged. The famous struggle at Uannockburn was one of the most disastrous for England that ever occurred before its date or sinoe, the toUl lo I ting ."0,000, or one-half of King Edward's whole army. At Cressy the English under the Black Prince killed nearly as many as their own number of the French, i. e., some what over ::o,000; and at Agincourt Henry V did even better, for, with only 0,000 men, he is declared to have beaten 00 000, of whom 10,000 were killed and 11,000 taken prisoners. The records state that at Blon Leim the English, under Marlborough, slew 27,000 of their adversaries and took 13,000 prisoners. At Fontenoy, where Mar shal fcaxe, at the head of the French, de feated the English under the Duke of Gam bol laud, both sides confessed to a loss of about 12,000. At Malplaquet the allies lost one-sixth of their whole force of O."),000 men, and tho French one fifth of theirs, or 0y(). The loss of the Allies at Austerlitz was 30,000 one-third of their whole array; while that of the French was 10,000 one-seveDth of theirs. Of the 140,000 Austrians at the battle of We gram, 22,000 were wounded or slain, and f the 180,000 French, 20,000, At Borodino, the awful numbor of 41,000 Rus sians were put hors de combat, being one third of their whole army, and 30,000 French, or one-fourth of theirs. The allied loss at Leipsic was 18,000 one-sixth of their army, and that of the French, 4.",000 one-quarter. At Waterloo, of the 110,000 allies, the loss was 20,000, and of the 72,000 French, 3.".,0()0, or more than one-half. In the present generation the great Euro pean battles may be considered to have been iSolferino, Koniggratz or Sadowa, Metz, and Sedan.' "At Solferino the French and Italians bad 152,000, and lost 17,000 men, or one ninth, and the Austrians had 100,000, and lost 20,000, or one-eighth of their total force. Of 220,000 Prussians at Sadowa, but 0000, or one-twenty-third, and of the 310,000 Aus trians, 31,000, or one-seventh, were lost. The present estimate is that there were 200,000 French in the three days' battles before Metz, and that 50,000 of them were destroyed, and that of the 2.0,000 Germans, 40,000, or one-sixth, represent the losses. It is difficult "as yet to pronounce upon the num ber of killed and wounded at Sedan. It is variously reckoned at from 20,000 to 4 0,00 J men. The French who were made prisoners numbered some 85,000 the first instance of the surrender of bo large a body of troops since the Ilomans capitulated to the Sam bites at the Caudine Forks. In our Ameri can civil war the most sanguinary battles exhibit mortality of nearly the same rela tive proportions as the most bloody of the European struggles. About 100,000 men r.8,000 Federals and 40,000 Confede rates are recorded to have been engaged at Antietam; the national loss is set down at 11,420, the Confederates at about 10,000; the aggregate loss thus being more than a quarter of the whole number of both com batants. Nearly the same numbers with the same relative casualties were seen at the second Bull Bun. At Gettysburg the na tional loss is recorded at 23,100, and that of the Confederates at about 3(1,000. The num bers on each side having been about equal, or, say 73,000 each, more than one-third of the whole were missing or destroyed at the end of the battle. It is commonly reckoned that the American civil war cost by death in action, wounds, and disease, about 1,000,00.) able-bodied men, which is also the numbar said to have been expended in the wars of Napoleon I. It seems probable, on the whole, that former battles nave often been as destructive as the worst of our own day, but that the work of death is usually done in a shorter time than it once was. Indeed, there is no other way than this of explaining how it was that in such frightful battles as Borodino, Evlau, and Bautzen, with the old musket and artillery, the ratio of killed and wounded was as great as in the Franco-Prussian war to-day, with all the improved appliances of Chasxepjts and lined guns. Our own war, extending over a at area and in a new country, was highly ex. ceptional, as was also that of the Crimea, for obvious reasons. But where the combatants are able quickly to concentrate their strength and get at each other, issues are much more speedily decided. All the later European contest exemplify this, and seem to show that the ! rot i acted encounters of past history are m tkely to be repeated. Indeed, whatever the will cr i-c ci'stin.-.T cf iLc c?;uV?.tat?( it i; plain that no such fighting as we have lately seen could be long maintained. Exhaustion must soon come for both combatants. The inherent property of such gigantio conflicts is, that thev must be short ones. Destruction ia swifter and more fearful, but that it is sooner over is. at least, some consolation for those who witness without being able to prevent the devastation and suffering wronprht by the combats of modern nations. THE ARMISTICE QUESTION A. FRESH OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERVENTION. From the Hi Y. lltrald. The situation as between Prussia and France it docs appear is misunderstood not only in this country, not only all over Europe, but by the combatants themselves, and even by tho representatives of the two rival na tionalities. The difference of a peace and an armistice we made plain to our readers some dajs ago. Because Prussia made certain con ditions for an armistice conditions which, though juit enough for an armistice, might not unjustly have been deemed hard for a peace settlement most of the newspapers, not perceiving the difference, burst into tow ering passion and denounced the tyranny and injustice of Prussia. France was unfortunate and downtrodden. Prussia, or rather Ger many, was barbarian and brutal. Bismarck was a fiend from the lower regions. Jules Favre was an angel of light. France was all right. Prussia was all wrong. Now, however, that we are in possession of Bismarck's version of what actually did take place at his interview with Jules Favre, the difference between a peace settlement and an armistice is no longer misunderstood. Nor is it any longer possible to doubt that if Jules Favre had been able to find reason in his un reasonable colleagues this most unnecessary and destructive war would have been ended at least two weeks ago. Bismarck tells us, and tells us plainly, that "the statement that he refused an armistice is false." When he met Jules Favre at Ferrieres "it was agreed that an armistice would be possible if France gave Prussia guarantees against delay against destroying the advantages of the po sition she had won in the war." These guar antees included the retention of tho fortresses on the lines of communication betweea Ger iii ay and the advance posts of the German armies. They included also the surrender of certain fortifications in the neighborhood of Paris, so as to prevent the besieged from takiDg undue advantage of the armistice to gather in supplies and so strengthen their position. On these terms Bismarck was will ing to grant an armistice of fifteen or twenty dojs, thus permitting France to make her elections and convene her Constituent Assem bly and form a responsible government which could say "Yea" or "Nay."' According to Bismarck M. Jules Favre could not bind France to any such arrangement; but he promised to consult his colleagues. Not find iDg-his colleagues in a mood to comply with Eiich terms, Jules Favre wrote a letter to King William, as all our readers know, full of patriotism, but lull also of bun combo. With Bismarck's statement of the case before us, we must repeat that, by the newspaper world generally, the condi tions of a peace settlement and of an armis tice have been absurdly confounded; that Prussia had a perfect right in view of an armistice to make such conditions, and that the Provisional Government was greatly to blame for not accepting the conditions and agreeing to a temporary suspension of hosti lities. It is natural for the Provisional Gov ernment and for France generally to regard these conditions as bard; but it must also be admitted that the Prussian authorities would have revealed a miserably plentiful lack of that wisdom which has won them so great success if they had agreed to grant an a runs tice on terms more easy. C-junt Bismarck was not tho man in any circumstance , least of all when his triumphant legions were knocking loudly at the gates of l'aris.to lung away a victory which his people had won at a cost of so much blood and so much treasure, and which he himself had made it his life labor to accomplish. For poor France we all feel; but sentiment is not always just, and no man who loves 1 ranee and loves justice, too, can have any dilhculty in endorsing the senti ment, "Pity that two weeks ago an armistice was not agreed to." The fault clearly waa not Bismarck s. It was not Jules Favre s. The blame rests with France, and with France because she has no responsible gov. eminent. An armistice to-day is more possible and more desirable than ever. The terrific artil lery of Prussia is pointed and ready to burst 'upon the doomed city ot Pans a city in the preservation of which, somehow, all the world feels interested. If the Prussian guns do open their mouths and belch forth destruction on the monuments and art treasures of the fairest city of which modern civili.ation can boast no one can blame Prussia. It will not be the fault of Count Bismarck, or General Moltke, or of King William, or of the Crown Prince. It will only be their painful duty their necessity, ihey have no choice; they cannot help it. It will not, we think, be the fault of Jules I avre or of General Trochu, With unreasoning colleagues they have no choice; they cannot: help it. But still we muBt regret the necessity of the destruction of Paris. If Prussia has no choice but to pour upon it destruction and death; if the Provisional Government is so feeble that it can neither repel the invader nor become re sponsible for an armistice, there is a loud and imperative call addressed to toe neutral powers once more to kindly interfere to persuade if they cannot compel. It is now manifebt to all the world that the door for intervention is open; that both Prussia and France are willing to listen to rea son, if only they are properly ap proached. Let the great powers, one and all, state to France that to save Paris, to prevent the unnecessary humiliation of the French people, and possibly to prevent a dis memberment of the kingdom, more serious than has jet been aontemplated, an armistice on Prussian conditions must be aocepted. Vigorous, forceful, decided action on the part of the great powers is all that is neces sary to bring X' ranee 10 reason ana to give the provisional government the unity and strength which they need. If Paris is bom barded in the circumstances the great neutral powers mu6t, to a large extent, be held responsible, xi iney try ana succeed, tne elorywill be theirs. If they try and fail, France, so far as we can now see, must bear the punishment, not altogether riguteously, but necessarily inflicted. We are willing to hope that intervention will, wituia afew days, bring about an armistice, and thus end a war win oh was never neoassary, never jnatihabie, but which is now offensive to the common st-nee of mankind. THE "BABY-FARMING" CASE. From the X. T. World. The recent trial and conviction of Mar garet Waters in London for the crime of child-murder has snoarn tnat m tne held ot cold-blooded cruelty aud mercenary murddr women can attain quite as mucn distinction have beeD fairly eclipsed by Waters and her loriy murdered imams. Tne trenenman slaughtered a whole family to obtain a few francs; but the Englishwoman for a period of four years carried on a system of child-murder for the paltry sum of two shillings and sixpence per child. It was her practice to adopt the undesirable children of repentant pa rents, and to furnish them" with all the comforts of a home at the rate of eighteen-pence per week. To the mind of Mrs. Waters, the only comforts which a reasonable infant could renuire appear to have been naif art auiet and unlimited supplies of laudanum. It waa her custom to give her young charges a substan tial breakfast of elixir of opium, and then to secure to them the opportunity for undis turbed repose by locking them up in her bed room and leaving them unmolested for the remainder of the day. The infants, however, refuFed to thrive under this motherly treat ment; and as thev successively died of what the physician examined upon the trial called 'starvation and narcotism, Mrs. Waters was accustomed to wrap them in paper and drop them in unfrequented localities wLcneer she took her walks abroad. The vacancies thus caused in her youthful fauiily by the obstinate refusal of the infautj to take kindly to the regimen of repose and laudanum were promptly tilled by the adop tion of fresh children. By this ingonious method the thrifty Mrs. Waters was gradu ally accumulating a competence for the support of her declining years, when her occupation was rudely disturbed by the po lice, at the instigation of acertain Mr. Cowen, whose unwarned daughter had inadvertently given birth to an unexpected child, which Mis. Waters had undertaken to biine up in the midst of her peculiar infantile comforts. Being placed on trial for the murder of this infant, her long career of successful suppres sion of unwelcome children was brought to light, and the was not only found guilty of havirg murdered the Cowen infant, but in tie course of the trial the incidental murder of at least thirty-nine other infants was shown to have resulted from her successful practice of baby-farming as the English press has called her peculiar profession. 1 he woman herself seems to have been utterly without feeling. When asked if she Ltd anything to say in her defense before sen tence was passed upon her, she made a ram bling Freech, settinc forth what she know about farming as applied to iufants, aud claim ing tnat her management of them ha l re sulted disastrously ODly in consequence of the ill-adviEed interference of the police, who had persisted in disturbing her in her wise and motherly course of treatment. In reply to the evidence which proved that the police had found five infants lying at the point of death on a sofa in her room, slie urged that only three instead of five were thusfouud,and evidently regarded so small a trifle as the starvation of three children as wholly tin wor my ol notice. Ibe court, however, declined to be influenced by her statements, and sen tenced her to death, to the great satisfaction of every humane person in the United King dom. Horrible as this case is, it will doubtless have a beneficial effect upon the conserva tive British public, which has heretofore re garded a foundling hospital as a demoralizing institution, fit only for benighted "Popish' communities. Already the London press is discussing the proposal to establish such a hospital as the only safeguard against infan ticide and baby-farming. If the English people can be brought to look upon the foundling hospital as a necessary preventive of crime, the forty children who; by Mrs. Waters' aid "slept ever into long, long sleep" have not suffered and died in vain. Her cuee also emphasizes once more the unplea sant truth that the cruelty of a thoroughly bad woman possesses a fiendishness which is seldom found in the worst of male criminals. Traupmann was at worst a feeble, half-witted fellow, who probably had no real sense of the nature of his enormous crime; but the woman Wateis, whojfor five years deliberately starved and drugged two score of hapless and help less infants till they sank into forgotten graves, was, to all appearances, an intelligent, strong-willed person. The annals of crime may be safely challenged to produce a crimi nal who in relentless, calculating, and long continued cruelty can equal this baby-farming fiend in woman's shape. THE RENOMIN ATION OF GRANT WOULD DISSOLVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. From the J. F. .S'im If the Republicans elect a majority of the House of Representatives this fall, they will at the close of the next Congress have con trolled the House fourteen years. This is a longer period than any party has had a ma jority in that branch of the Federal Legisla ture without interruption since the reorga nization of parties during the administration of John Quincy Adams; and the event would presage the obliteration of old party lines in the 1 residential contest ot 1a2. This will undoubtedly be the case if unwise Re publicans, taking courage by their suc cess this autumn, should attempt to force upon the country the renomination of Gen. Grant. Should his supporters, with the aid of the office-holders, be able to control a ma jority of the National Convention of 1S72, and be so unmindful of public sentiment and tie warnings of history as to place his name once more before the people, he would share the fate of John Quincy Adams in 1828, and Martin Van Buren in 1810, either by means of a disastrous bolt among the rank and file of the Republican party, or the nomination of an independent Republican candidate. Jn lv2 the Republican party will have governed the country twelve years. This is a long period for one party to bear sway in an era so prone to political revolutions as the present. The American people desire pro gress, love novtlty, end covet a frequent change of rulers. No man in high office can hope to receive their homage for a great length of time unless be displays pre-eminent talentp, extraordinary administrative capa city, and rare personal magnetism. Has General Grant exhibited any of these quali ties since he entered the White House V Does anybody presume to assign him a place above mediocrity as a citizen ? And does not every candid Republican feel that it would be ex tremely hazardous to tie party to put him again in nomination ? If, then, the Republicans do not wish to involve their organization in ruin, they should give it to be distinctly understood that they Y11J1 UUli lUlCiniD 1.

COAL TRADE STATISTICS. from tlw Miner' Journal. The Philadelphia Ledger published the fol lowing in reply to an article of last week, which is decidedly cool: "Our weekly report of the Anthracite coal trade is DiBde up from ofllcial statements f mulshed to this Gftlee directly roin all the Urner coal carrying; com i sn'es, ami, to a limited extent, from nutements of tne tonnage oi some lew swau coucerue uirms'ieu to the newspapers la the rutulug reuloua. This a counts for the fact that our utfures of tae tradd d a authority on the subject. We do not publish our report on Saturday for the very obvious reason that on that day, more than any other, every Inch of space in the Lcdnrr Is claimed by, and even clam ored for, by advertisers. Our figures and comments weekly given of the coal trade are generally esteemed more satisfactory than those elsewhere published." They acknowledge that they steal a por tion of our statements, and think it a matter of trifling import. They also state that their comments weekly given of the coal trade are generally esteemed more satisfactory than those elsewhere published. The thief who stole goods and Bold them afterwards to others at a cheap rate might consider it a satisfactory business, because they were trading on other people's property, and they realized the benefit of this stolen property of which the owner has been robbed. There is not a per son engaged in the coal trade in Philadelphia, who reads the Journal and the Ledger, that does not know that our strictures on the conduct of the Ledger last week were just; and some of the Philadelphia dealers stated to us that we served them right, because the thefts weie so glaring. They also state that their columns are so crowded every Saturday that they have not room to publish the reports. This may be true to a certain extent but that is not the reacon why they are postponed. Their ob ject is to obtain the information from the Journal, in which they can have the com ments, which they pilfer from us, and then palm tht m off' on the public in a little differ ent shape as their own. Why not publish the rcpoits they leceive on Saturday? They will take up but little room, and their com ments, bused on their knowledge of the trade, would be extremely short, or supremely ridi culous, if extended. This is the reason why they are held over until Monday. To test the matter whether they took a por ticn of our statements, we altered some fieuies which would not be noticed for two weeks, and these altered figures were each lime copied by the Ledger in their weekly fctatements. eare aware that they rocaive some of the returns, but not all, and the greater portion that they receive aud publish are not correct, because the tonnage in some of these reports are doubled up, and they publish this doubted up tonnage. The ODly correat and reliable statement.- of the coal trade, compared with last year, are published in tho Miiterx' Journal. W'e have goLe to great expenso and given a great deal of time and labor to collect and tabulate these statistics to preserve them iu an official form, and they are more correct than all Bitch statistics that are collected by the Govern ment. The papers that profess to give cor rect slatemenis have solicited the use of the machinerv wo put in motion to obtain them, as far as they could, and they generally steal the balance and palm them off upon the public as their own. In such conduct honesty Is it not most disreputable? If they paid even a portion of the expense in obtaining this information, they might then have some justification in stealing some: but the Ledger does not pay one cent for these statistics, and nearly all the ideas they put forth they filch from others without one paiticle of credit. If they persist iu this dis reputable course, we will show the "make up" of the Public Ledger and, point out how some people can moke a gooi deal of money in publishing papers in our cities with the expenditure of a small amount of braius.
