Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal upon Current Topios Complied Every Oay for the Evening Telegraph HIE 1SULINO MORAL FORCES OF THE PRESENT AGE. PVm the N. r. Herald. Itenjstuin Disraeli ia one of bin politico. pLilosoi'Llcal novels has a prominent charac ter, who moved the Govern-menls of Europe as pieces are moved on a chessboard, through the power of his wealth. This man might have been intended to represent Rothschild, for he is an Israelite of almost unlimited means; Tut he ia in part creation of the imagination, and represents the vast power of aggregated wealth, ia combination with lofty ambition and broad statesmanship, -working silently to accomplish groat ends in -conformity with modern ideas. He is, in fact, a sort of Rothschild and Disraeli com bined in one individual. In this character is depicted one of the most potent moral forces that control the politioal affairs of the world. As the American repnblic affords the best illustration of the fact stated above, we shall pay more particular attention to the influence of the power of money here. Our remarks will apply, however, to all civilized and pro gressive nations as well, tuongh not, perhaps, to the same extent. Though wealth performs an important part in tho political affairs of Eu ropean nations, there are other moral foraes at work which we have not in this country. Monarchical ideas, aristocratio sentiments, the assumption of and deference to long es tablished privileges, and the influence of caste or class in society and government prevail to a great extent in Europe. The latter particularly that is, the sentiment and pride of caste or class permeates through alt grades. This is mora remarkable in England, probably, than on the Continent. Tho very costermonger is an aristocrat in his way. lie affects a superiority over some one else. True, the struggle to break down these barriers and to elevate the masses has com menced. The growth of intelligence through the press, the quickening influence of the telegraph, end through bringing people to gether by means of the rapid looomotion of railroads, is working a great change. The present war has done and is doing much to enlighten the people and to uproot old ideas. Still, as we said, the sentiments and sympa thies of the Old World cling in a measure to the past. The moral force of old institutions and habits operates yet. We, however, are emancipated from the European ideas of and sympathy with monarchy, aristocracy, hereditary privileges and distinctions of class or caste. We keep up with the progressive ideal and develop ments of the times. Even the domestic slavery of an inferior race and their political inequality Lad to be given up through the progress of liberal sentiments which are em bodied in our Declaration of Independence and in the genius of our institutions. Rat with the extraordinary growth of the country in wealth and material improvements another power another political and moral force has come into existence. This newly developed power is in our railroads. The enormous capital invested in these, and the concentration of it in a few hands, comparatively, enable the managers to con trol, yea, to buy up if necessary, political leaders and legislatures. The railroad pro perty of tho country of all kinds stocks, bonds, lands, rolling stock, buildings, manu factories, and money is scarcely less than two thousand millions of dollars. The gross annual income approaches that of the Federal Government, and the profits amount, proba bly, to nearly a hundred and fifty millions a year. We speak of the property at its present estimated or nominal value, and not of the cost of the railroads, becanso the stock in many cases has been doubled or inflated more than that. It must be remembered, too, that most of these railroads earn a good interest on the inflated stook, for which the publio have to pay in increased fares and freightage. Imagine what a power this stupendous capital with its vast annual income gives to the magnates who control the railroads, men look at the hun dreds of thousands of people either employed on them or directty interested in them, as stockholders, bondholders, contractors or some other way, and all under the influence of the managers. Can we wonder that aspi rants for political honors bow to the mighty power? Need we be surprised that the Legis latures of the different States do whatever the railroad chiefs bid, or that even Congress does what they wish? Such immense wealth would be powerful in any form, in the coffers of the lSothschilds and other great capitalists of Europe or in the hands of such capitalists as the Aston and btewarta of America, but not so much so as when used in railroads and other great material improvements. Its rami fications extend to every portion of the conn try and affect all interests, and its iaflnence consequently must be co-extensive. In the time of General Jackson the cry of alarm was raised against the money power of the United States Bank. It was asserted by the Jackson party that this institution was dangerous to the liberties of the people and the institutions of the country. Yet its capi tal was only thirty-five millions of dollars. What an insignificant sum compared with the railroad capital of to-day ! What strides the country has made since that time in the short period of forty-five years ! Mr. Biddle, the President of the United States Rank, was a great power in his day. The bank exercised great influence in political affairs. There was, in fact, a similar alliance between that institu tion and politics to that which we see growing up between the railroad interests and political parties now. The tendency to consolidation or union of interests among the different railroad companies will increase . their power still more. A few of the principal trunk lines such as the Erie, New York Central, Pennsylvania Central, Baltimore and Ohio, the Pacific, and Illinois Central have already obtained control over most of the vast net work of roads throughont the country, and a few magnates like V&nderbilt, Gould, Boott, Garrett, and others are virtually the masters over the whole. What, then, are not such men worth to political leaders or to any politi cal party? Oar New York politicians of Tarn many have discovered their value. They have bad the sagacity to see the mighty power of the railroads and have been quietly laying the foundation for a permanent allianoe, offen sive and defensive, with them. And the railroad chiefs have not been slow to unite with the men who command the political situation in the great State of New York, with a prospect of attaining within a few years a controlling inflaence in the National Govern ment. The new politioal power in the re public will be found ia the combination of railroad interests with skilful politioal ma chinery, and all under the management of a Jew men. HOW THE DEMOCRATIC MAGNATES MAY AVERT THE DOOM OF THEIR TARTY. Frem (A N. T, Hun. The Democrats are about to hold a grand ratification meeting in this city, in which Governor Seymour, Senator Thurman, of Ohio, and other eminent leaders of the party are to participate. To convene such an as Bf mblage for the purpose of insuring the election of the Democratic State ticket is wholly unnecessary, for that ticket is destined to be chosen by an overwhelming majority a certainty of which the distinguished gen tlemen to whom we have referred are fully satisfied. We take it for granted, therefore, that they will embrace the occasion to enun ciate and expound the national principles and measures on which they will claim that the Democratic parly of tee Union ought to suc ceed and may reasonably hope for a triumph in the next Presidential campaign. In this broad view of the situation we have a few suggestions to make to those who will give tone to the proceeding) of the meeting of Thursday evening. In the early summer the haders of the Democratic party announced their intention to make a strenuous eff ort to elect a majority of the next House of Representatives. Though they were doubtless unwilling to admit that a failure to secure such a majority would necessarily be followed by a defeat in the Presidential contest of 1871', the Demo crats well knew that if the Republicans were successful in the Congressional elections now, they would thereby have taken a long step towards a triumph two yoors hence; and accordingly the Democtacy have put forth and are still employing the most vigorous exertions to carry the House of Represent;, tives. Have the Congressional elections thus far encouraged the hopes of the Democracy? In the present House the Republicans have a majority of eighty-three. To barely re verse that majority the Democrats must make a net gain of forty-two in the pending elections. The next House will consist of two hundred and forty-one members. Eighty of these, or one-third of the whole, have already been chosen. Now, the Democrats only claim to have made thus far a net gain of ten; and in view of the threatened contesting of the seats of five of these by the Republicans, and of the fact that the Republicans will certainly control the next House, the Democrats will do well if they can hold six or seven of these ten seats. In the light of these figures it is a very liberal allowance to concede that in the election of the remaining two-thirds of the House the Democrats will make a net gain of fifteen members, or a total of twenty two. But call it twenty-five a calculation which Republicans will scout with derision and even this would leave to the latter a ma jority of thirty-three in the next Honse. Is it not far more likely to exceed forty ? These actual and probable results commend themselves to the serious consideration of such thoughtful Demooratio statesmen as Governor Seymour and Senator Thurman. They should raise in their minds the grave question, What is the main cause of our in ability to prostrate Republican ascendancy in tho country at the very time when the Re publican party is torn by internal feuds, is rent by open war in half a dozen States, is filled with dissatisfaction from one end of the Union to the other, and is weighed down by an administration which has failed to meet the reasonable expectations of those who ele vated it to power':1 Passing over many causes of the failure of the Demooratio party to command the conn dence of a majority of the people such as a seeming poverty in fresh ideas adapted to this progressive age, a manifest incapacity for presenting new measures suited to the exigencies of the country, and an unwilling ness to dismiss from the helm leaders who have so often proved incompetent to weather the storm we will point the Democratic mag nates and the Democratic masses to the great obstacle which lies in the way of their tri umph, and which will remain there until they themselves remove it out of their path. It is the belief which so widely prevails that if the Democratic party should be fully restored to power in the ieueral Government, it would at once set to werk to reopen many of the important issues settled by the war and by the policy of reconstruction, and espe cially those embraced in the thirteenth. fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. This wide-spread conviction respecting the intentions of tho Democracy is the stumbling block over which, year bv year, they fall, Now, whatever may be the opinions of some portions of the American people a3 to the means by which those three amendments were engrafted upon the Constitution, or even aa to some of the principles embraced in them, an overwhelming maiority of our cm zens, at the South as well as the North, are determined that the troublesome questions thus disposed of, and whose settlement cost so much strife, so much treasure, and so much blood, shall never again be reopened; and for a whole generation, if need be, they will by their votes exclude from the admin istration of national affairs any politioal party that does not impress the public mind with the belief that it does not intend to reopen them, through either the legislative, execu tive, or judicial department of the Govern ment. We have pointed to the main obstacle to Democratic success in the country, and to the chief reason why that party will fail to carry the next House of Representatives. The proposed meeting will afford a good op portunity for eminent leaders of the Demo cracy to put on record, m unequivocal terms, a declaration that the Questions to which we have referred are, and must henceforth be treated by their party as, irrevocably settled. If they will announce this as a prime article in their national creed, and will from this time onward show their faith by their works. they will have turned their steps toward vic tory in i7J. railing to do this, their oraan ization will be shivered in pieces ia the con flict of that year. ill they take warning in time to avert sucn a aoom r A FRENCH PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. Prvm tks X. Y. Trtoun. A French military writer, quoted with warm approval by La France, has just published a pamphlet on the military situation, in which he reviews the forces still at the disposal of the repnblic. and the armies which they wii be obliged to encounter. In addition to the army of the Loire and the troops shut np in Paris, in Uetz, and in other besieged towns, he believes that the available military strength of France now amounts to i:tO,(KK) infantry, 2)0,000 cavalry, 20,O()0 artillery,0O0 engineers. 2U.000 marines ana miscellaneous forces, 400, 000 of the Garde Mobile, and 1, 000,000 of the Garde Nationale Sedentaire. Then there are 175,000 men of the contingent of 1870 actually called out. and 13,000 Frauos-Tireurs, making a grand total of 1,800,000. With this material the writer proposes to organize five army eorps, each consisting of To.ooo infantry, two or three regiments or cavalry, ana two bit teries of horse artillery. These will oonsti tute the 'troops of the first line." The "troops of the second line" are to oonsist of an equal bomber or the Garde Nationale Sedentaire, similarly organized, except that they will have siege pieces instead of mounted artillery, and will be without cavalry. A oorps of the first line and a corps of the aeoond will be united to form an army. Thus there will be five armies of 150,000 men each. The author describes with considerable care the best positions for these new forces to occupy, and the lines of retreat and supply which each will have to maintain. He stations the first at Amiens, the seoond at Rouen, the third at Mans, the fourth at Bourges, and the fifth at LangTes making a complete circle around Paris, interrupting the Prussian communi cations, checking the raids of the German cavalry, and fencing in the invaders with a stout barrier, behind which the remaining million of possible Frenoh soldiers can be organized in security. At the proper moment this outer circle of armies will break in upon the Prussian rear, and the inner circle on the heights around Paris will break out upon the Prussian front. The novelty of this scheme will perhaps commend it to favor at Tours, and if a gene ral can be lonnd capable or patting it into execution, who knows bat we may see it tried? Only one thing seems to have been over looked. Germany has hundreds of thousands of men at home; why should not she immedi ately establish another circle of armies in the rear of the new French levies? Then, taking; the Tuileries, for instance, as a starting point oi departure, we should nave four concentric circles of armed men: first, the French in the forts around Paris; second, the besieging Prussians; third, French; fourth, Prussians. The effect of a campaign conducted on this plan would be ia the higbes degree pleasing and instructive, and we doubt not would work a complete revolution in military science. FRESH AZTEC RUINS. From the A". 1'. Timet. Some discoveries have lately been ma le in New Mexico which will doubtless be the sub ject of protracted aud highly interesting arch aeological researcn. uovernor Amy, the Spe cial Indian Agent for that Territory, is the authority for the existence of those curiosi ties, his knowledge of which has been gained by personal inspection. It became necessary, in the discharge of his official duties, for Governor Amy to visit the Utah Indians at the west ot the an Juan river. To do thu he had to traverse a part of the great range known as the Sierra alidre Moumtainn, and here, particularly in what is called the Ganoa de Cuelly, the discoveries referred to have been made. We have of late been so over whelmed with accounts of astonishing natural wonders newly found in the heart of the con tinent that Governor Amy's descriptions of strange ravines, whose w.ills tower perpen dicularly to an altitude of from one thousand to two thousand feet, "the rock strata being as perfect as if laid by the skilled hands of masons, and entirely symmetrical," may ex cite only passing comment. But the rnins found among these lonely canons will attract more eager and substantial attention. These consist, we are assured, of the de serted remains of ancient Azteo cities, "many of which bear the evidences of having been populous to the extent of many thousands of inhabitants." Tho term Azteo is here used in its common and inaccurate sense; being applicable, in strictness, to only one of the seven Mexican tribes which collectively bore the name of Nahaatlecas. These tribes are supposed to have come from the north, from a region known as Aztlan. Their traditions say that they emerged from seven caverns in that region, which most investigators have placed north of the river Gila. The interesting question now arises whether these vast canons or mountain gorges de scribed by Governor Amy, and affirmed by him to be filled, in some instances, with ruins, may not have been the original Aztlan. It is at least evident, on reading his descrip tions, and comparing them with such tradi tionary chronicles as we already possess, that this supposition is extremely plausible. The period of the departure of the seven tribes, and of their arrival in the valley of Mexioo, is commonly reckoned to have been between 1(M!4 and 1104. Perhaps a close examination of the newly-discovered ruins will have the effect either of affirming or rectifying this estimate. In any case it will doubtless fur nish us with important revelations of the past history of the continent. The accounts already received from Gov ernor Amy and his party are substantially to the following purport: The ruins discovered are of stone, and of great extent. In each town or collection of buildings one edifice has been found, hewn out of the solid rock, about twenty feet square, containing one room, and in this room a Bingle human skele ton. In the centre of these apartments there are traces of fire, and the theory of th3 observers is that these solitary rooms were altar-places, and the skeletons those of the officiating priests. It will be remembered that fire was always kept burning, as a reli gious rite, on the altars of the Aztecs; the Indian tradition being that ultimately it would light Montezuma back again to his people he being not an earthly ruler only, bat their Messiah or Eternal King. It is asserted by our informants that the structures contain handsome arches and other architectural devices and ornaments ; and that the builders most have been skilled in the manufacture and use of edged tools, in masonry and in other mechanical arts. Some of the buildings, nnlike most of the ruins further south, in Central America and else where, are reported to be seven or eight stories in height. There are no staircases within these lofty piles, so that it is inferred the upper floors were reached by ladders planted against the walls. Others of the edifices are perfectly round, built very sub stantially of cut stone, and plastered inside. Tokens abound of the occupation of these places by dense and well-instructed popula tions, and it seems reasonable to anticipate that to the wonders of natural scenery and mineral treasure abounding in that neigh borhood, there ia about to be added such records of the men who once dwelt therein as will be, at least, as interesting. The only doubt likely to be raised relative to the importance oi probable significance of Governor Amy's discoveries, is whether his buildings may not belong to the class of "Caaas Grandes,'ronce held to mark the suc cessive steps of the Aztee migration (which is supposed to have taken over one hundred and fifty years from the starting point before reaching ChapultepecL, bat since attributed to the Moquis or to the Pueblo Indians. If the accounts that have come to ns are precisely accurate, we should say this hypothesis was out of the question; since the buildings would neoe&sarily have been the work of a far higher civilization than any of the class last named. It mast be owned, however, that the love of the marvelous ia strong in the human breast; and, further, that there are few things people who are not actual expert more easily deceive themselves about than the comparative rank of archi tectural remains. We shall await farther and more detailed aooounts from the Sierra Madre Mountains with interest, and with hopes that the discoveries of Stephens and the researches of Prescolt are to receive wortfty additions, and possible illumination, from the heart of the continent. WENDELL miLLirs AND GOVERNOR CLAFLIN. From t he Baton 7V-nrWfr. Wendell Phillips in his Fraternity speech said: "Three years ago, I announced publicly that I never again would speak to William Claflin, and I never have done so but in a single instance where the oourteay of the occasion made it imperative." Since that time, however, and notwithstanding this publio announcement, the Republicans of Massachusetts have nominated him for Gov ernor three times by acclamation, have eleoted him twice by large majorities, and are about electing him again, The reason for this rupture is understood to be because, while Mr. Claflin was in Gov ernor Bullock's Council, Greene was hung, and the Governor and the Council would not interfere with the due course of the law. The great philanthropist is on good terms enough, apparently, with Governor Bullock, who signed the warrant for Greene's execu tion, with the rest of the Council who ap proved it, with the court and jury who con victed him, with the full bench who decided the judgment valid, and the very distin guished physicians who settled the question of bis sanity, and even with the sheriff who bung the murderer. It would be charity to Mr. Phillips to discredit his statements as to his treatment of Governor Claflin. The case of the murderer Greene stands thus: A beautiful, innocent, promising boy the son of an esteemed citizen was sitting alone one day at the counter of a bank in Maiden. An acquaintance entered tho room with a loaded pistol in his hand, and delibe rately shot him through the head. He fell from his ecat upon the floor, where he lay with bis imploring face towards his murderer, w ho brutally discharged a second ball into the head of bis dying friend, lie then quickly robbed the bank of about &5000, skulked away and concealed his plunder, and with perfect coolness went about his accustomed business for several weeks. He was finally suspected and arrested. He confessed th brutal deed, was found guilty of wilful mur der by the lawful tribunals, pronounced to be perfectly sane by a council of very distin- omsiiea puysicians, on the most careful ex animation, and was executed according to law. A more cold-blooded, atrocious murder has never been committed in Massachusetts. The law of capital punishment is in force in this State. Mr. Phillips has tried to change it, anu railed. The people believe that a wil ful murderer should be hung. Mr. Phillips does not hesitate to speak to the people, and even ask them for their votes. If the It v is wrong then it should be changed. As Ions' as it stands, the Governor aad Council ciunot change nor annul it without cause. But Mr. Phillips says the murderer was insane. The physicians gave their opinion that he was saDe, and tne Uovernor asreea with them Mr. Claflin was of the same opinion. Nobody, not even Mr. Phillips, doubted that it was an honest opinion. He therefore hates Governor Claflin for an honcut opinioi. If he hated everybody wnose honest opinions have du fered from his own on many subjects, Mr, Phillips would have very few friends in this world very rew people to speak to. Does Mr. Phillips mean to have it under stood that be is so much opposed to capital punishment that he would not execute a con victed murderer? If so, let it be placed amongst his qualifications for Governor. Does Mr. Phillips mean to say that he would arrest the execution of a l iwof this State because he does not agree with its pro visions? If so, let that, too, be put down amongst his qualifications for Governor. Does Mr. Phillips mean we shall under stand that in order to defeat the law, he will adjudge a man to be insane against the opinions of pbysioians and the evidence in the case ? If so, set that also amongst his qualifications for Governor. Does Mr. Phillips take the position that because a gentleman officially decides a ques tion against him, he can justly hate him so bitterly as not to speak to him again ? If so, put that amongst his special qualifications for Governor. Does Mr. Phillips believe that it is decent to call Governor Claflin a murderer for what he did in Greene's case ? If so, by all means put that with his qualifications for Governor. Does Mr. Phillips mean we shall under stand that mere courtesy is any good reason why be should attend a wedding with a mur derer, sit with him, talk with him, smile with him, and treat him like a friend, when it is all sheer hypocrisy? If so, as a crowning merit, put that amongst his qualifications for Governor. It is well to discuss issues, soberly, fairly, and thoroughly, but when one gentleman attacks another in such a manner for such a cause, and attempts to make political capital out of it, he should have the full benefit of it. Mr. Phillips has lost a great deal of real en joyment by depriving himself of Governor Claflin's society for so long a time. No man can associate with him much without having a sweeter temper and kinder disposition. 6PEOIAL NOTICES. gy NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT AN w application will be made at the next meeting of the General Assembly ot tne Common wealth oi I'enBBylvania for tbe incorporation of a Bank, in ac cordance with the laws of tbe Common wealth, to be entitled THE ANTHRACITE BANK, to be located at Philadelphia, with a capital or live hundred thwo sand dollars, with the right to increase the same to two million dollars. gy THE IMPERISHABLE FEB FUME I AS A rule, the perfumes now In use have no perma nency.
