TEE SURRENDER OF METZ.
Whateteb may be the true history of Ba
zaine's surrender of Metz, it appears to have,
tor the time being, the good effeot of in
creasing the prospect of an armistice, and it
may hasten the conclusion of a permanent
peaoe. There is no goad reason now why
the war should be prolonged. The Germans
have obtained every guarantee against future
French invasions that they can reasonably
expeot or dare to demand, and the
Frenoh, in turn, can soaroely pretend to
hope, at a moment when Paris is besieged
and a large portion of their country com
pletely at the mercy of the invaders, that
they will be able, within a reasonable period
of time, to reoonquer Metz and Strasburg, or
to reoover, by force of arms, the territory
which the Germans are holding so tenaciously.
The main thing left for the Germans
to strive for is a formal treaty acknowledging
their right to such possessions as they desire
to retain, but even this will be more likely to
be seoured by the labors of diplomatists than
by further warlike demonstrations, and as it
is acknowledged on all hands that France
Will only submit to the terms likely to be im
posed as a matter of dire neoessity, with the
intention of breaking them as soon as she
feels strong enough to do so, there will be
little real significance in any formal treaty
thus made to be broken.
The spirit of republican Franoe is strong to
resist the surrender of one iaoh of soil or one
stone of fortress, but her flesh is weak. In
stead of attempting to reoover any of the
possessions already lost, she is hardly able to
defend any nncaptured vital point against
which the invader chooses to direct his ener
gies. And while she may denounoe Bazaine
bitterly, and, perhaps, deservedly, he
may well ask, in reply, why
months were suffered to elapse
without a single serious effort being made to
raise the siege of Metz ? Whatever Franoe
may become hereafter, she is for the present
virtually helpless, and Germany is in a posi
tion to impose terms as harsh as those which
France imposed npon Prussia in the hour of
her overthrow by the First Napoleon. Even
if the French are governed exclusively by their
flesire to wreak vengeance, they should
remember that peace " and time are
requisite for the recuperation of their re
Bouroes and the creation of effective armies.
If General Trochu does not express, in the
approaohing interview which he is probably
about to have with M. Thiers, full confidence
in the ability of the new Frenoh levies to
Assume offensive as well as defensive mili
tary operations, there is little doubt that the
negotiations for an armistioe will be success
ful, and this can scarcely fail to lead to a
termination of the present war. Both parties
Will prepare as best they may for a future re
newal of hostilities, but the war of 1870 will
be closed, and when France goes forth to
fight new battles her army will be on a dif
ferent footing from that which surrendered
at Sedan and Metz.
A QUESTION OF W0MEN3 RIGHTS.
We think that the women's rightists ought to
be able to make a good argument in favor of
their peculiar theories out of the Flynt vs.
Ooolidge case that has just been concluded in
Boston, after creating more of a sensation,
not only in the "Hub" but all over the
Oountry, than matters of apparently more
moment are apt to do. Our readers are pro
bably aware of the facts of this case, which
was a suit brought by a fashionable dress
maker to reoover the amount of a bill which
the husband of a fashionable dame contended
was extortionate, and which he consequently
refused to settle. The jury before whom the
dispute was finally brought cut down the
dressmaker's items to considerably below
their original figure, and their action has
generally been approved as a proper rebuke
to manufacturers of feminine attire who, like
Mn. Flynt, are accustomed to awaken the
wrath of husbands by the magnificence of
their charges. In making up their verdict it
is probable that the jury, in spite of their
desire, were influenoed by their feelings as
husbands and fathers, who are often
astounded in the same manner that
Mr. Ooolidge was by the array of figures
at the end of dressmaker' bills, and the
newspapers that have commented upon the
case hare almost all bided with the male
Coolidge, and looked upon the tvelve mnou
lines who decided the case as the avengers
aud i roteotors of the rights of the bill-paying
sex. We scarcely think that Mrs. FJynt, the
mnfortunate dressmaker, who has not only
been obliged to enter upon an expensive law
suit, but who has also suffered a serious ra
d' etion in what she considered hor legitimate
profits, has received ex3t justice at the hinds
of the press of the country. Fitst-claa
skill and tiJent in any branch of
art have a right to demand flrit.
0 tss remuneration; and if Mrs. Flynt is, as
B9 claims to be, at the head of her profu
sion, those who avail themselves, of her ser
vices must expect to pay even more for the
benefits of her skill than they do for the
actual work performed. Dressmaking, as we
understand it, is very muoh of a fine art,
albeit the best taste may consider some of its
results as far from being artistie, and a lady
who is anxious that her outward adornments
should be unexceptionable can properly ex
pect nothing else than to pay a first-class
prioe for having them so. This rule holds
good in all other branches of business, and
why should it not in dressmaking?
This is one of the few employments
that woman can work at with advantage, and
in common justice a first-class artist in silk,
velvet, poplin, and calico is entitled to her
reward just as much as a first-class worker in
any other profession. The fact that our
sympathies are largely with the unfortunate
Coolidge makes no difference in the abstract
justice of Mrs. Flynt's claim upon his pocket
book, for so long as the law makes a husband
responsible for his wife's debts, so long as
wives insist upon dressing in the top of the
fashion, and so long as the individual who
has to pay the bills does not put a limit to the
expenditures of the one who inours
them, he scaroely has a right
to complain in publio because he
is called npon to pay, thousands when he
would consider hundreds extravagant. The
Coolidges, in the case that has just been
decided, partially at least, in their favor,
could easily have spared all pretext for a con
troversy by finding out exactly what Mrs.
Flynt's tariff of charges was before they em
ployed her. In fact, they did know that she
put a high valuation upon her services, for
there was a previous bill that the male Cool
idge thought extortionate; and yet he per
mitted his wife to still employ the dress
maker. This was a strong point in favor of
Mrs. Flynt, although it was urged against her,
and the jury by their action appeared to con
sider the second bill very much in the light
of an aggravation of a previous offense.
This whole affair is a magnificent example
of the tyranny of man over the weaker sex,
and it is somewhat remarkable that Mrs.
Gady Stanton, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Miss
Anna Dickinson, Miss Olive Logan, and the
other champions of women's rights have not
endeavored to make capital out of it. The
only reason we can assign for their seeming
indifference is that, such of them at least as
pay their own bills, are fellow-sufferers with
the husband of Mrs. Coolidge, and that, hav
ing waxed indignant at the proportions which
their own dressmakers' bills have assumed,
they secretly rejoice at the discomfiture of the
Boston modiste, and give their principles the
go-by for the nonce, while they join with
the "tyrant man" in the discomfiture of a
common enemy.
INDIAN AGENCIES.
Whatever President Grant's shortcomings
in other respects may have been, he is at
least entitled to the credit of having made a
sincere, earnest, and persistent effort to re
form oar Indian policy. In doing this he
has been obliged to contend against one of
the most powerful and corrupt "rings" in
the country, and that he has not achieved
such an entire success as is to be desired is
the fault of Congress, and particularly of the
Senate, in which' body the Indian "ring"
appears to be all powerful. That the cor
rupt influences which have hitherto inter
fered to vitiate all the beneficial measures
instituted in behalf of the Indians had
much to do with the removal of
Secretary Cox from the Interior Department
is almost certain, and the manner in which
the President has allowed himself to yield in
that matter to the wishes of men whom he
must know to be unworthy of confidence is
one of the least promising signs for the future
of the reforms that have been instituted in
the Indian Bureau. Thus far, however, any
bad management in that bureau during the
past year and a half is to be attributed
to corruptions that existed before
the present administration came into power,
and to the refusal of Congress to give the
President proper support in his efforts to
ameliorate the condition of the savages. By
the appointment cf army offioers as Indian
agents an assurance was given to the country
that the plunder of the savages would
be reduced to a minimum, even if it
did not cease altogether, while the
agents were more absolutely under the con
trol of the Government than they would have
been if taken from civil life. Congress, how
ever, put a veto on this arrangement by
forbidding the employment of army officers
in the capacity of Indian agents. The Pre
sident has now turned to the various reli
gious denominations for aid, and has asked
them to designate proper persons to act as
Indian agents. The following is a list of the
egencies tendered to the different religious
bodies, and the appointments that have been
made:
The Methodists, teven In Washington, Montana,
and Oregon ; no app lntmeut aa yet. The I'reauy

and Idaho, two uppuluWd, William F. Cady and
Chalk s S Jones.
An arrangement like this may work well
for a time, but, as we pointed out soma time
ago, it will be the easiest thing in the world,
uittr Buch a By stem has gat fairly established,
for men of the most corrupt character to
pofcsebfl themselves of the agencies in the
gift of the religious sects, aud that the only
hope of a permanent reform is in radical
clacges in the organization of the Indian
Prtreao such as only Congress can authorize.
In point of fact, however, whatever reil
lettfits Lave been conferred upon the Indians
tan been through the instrumentality of the
rblig'ous societies, supported by privatecon-
tribulioDB, and the most that the President
bas been able to do has been to aid and sup
port the disinterested efforts of missionaries
and other self-sacrificing friends of the
Indians, who have labored without hope or
expectation of any reward except that which
a knowledge of having done good always con
fers. The recent report of William Welsh, Esq.,
of this city, to Seoretary Cox sets forth this
fact in very plain terms, and it gives a most
gratifying exhibit of the benefits that have
resulted from the efforts of a few Christian
men, who find it harder to contend against
the rascality of the authorized agents of the
Government than they do against
the ravage disposition of the In
dians. The facts contained in the
report of Mr. Welsh prove conclusively that
the Indians can be civilized and converted
into resppctable citizens, with much better
dispositions to earn their daily bread in a
creditable manner and to behave themselves
with decency than some of their white neigh
bors, and it will be a great scandal if the
efforts of Christian men for the benefit of
tbe Indians are allowed to be thwarted by
the machinations of corrupt politi
cians. Tbe President can ' be thwarted
in many particulars by Congress, but there is
a point beyond which Congress will not dare
to go, and if the President only has the cour
age to persist, in spite of all opposition, to be
right, we believe seriously that he can com
pel Congress to aid him, while he will win
the regards of the good men of the commu
nity in a way that he can never do if he at
tempts to compromise between good and evil.
