THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1870. oriniT or inn press. Editorial Opinions of tho Leading Journel) upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph FAILUKF, OF THE ITvOrOSEI) AllJIIS- IIOE IS l'AUIS DOOMED? From the y. Y. Uerald. The friendH of penco and" lmranuity every where innst deeply regret Iho failure of ttie propofctd armistice between the groat bolli gereiLta iu Europe. All hoped that the dread ful cnriiff;G would be suspended long enough to allow tho French nation to eloot a C justi tu6nt Assembly, and to give fair expression of public sentiment on proposals for peaoe. There was a bopo, too, that if an artuislico could be concluded for this purpose tho war would rot be renewed. The news from Enropo has destroyed these hopes. The pro visional government of Franco wauted food to bo admitted into Furis for tho twenty five days of armistice, so that tho city might not bo in a wors3 condition for defence and resistance should the war bo resumed at tho end of that time. Of cjursu if France and l'russia could not agree upon terms of peuce the former would be iu a worse condition for resistance at the expiration of the armistice, through tho consumption of tho limited amount otfood in tho beleaguered city of Faris. The object of the French Governu eut was to maintain the status quo, Bo that each of the belligerents should bo in the sun.0 and as good position for resuming hosiilities should peace not be rnado. Then it appears tbe French authorities wanted Alsaco and Lorraine to voto for members of tho Constituent Assembly. Tho Frussians refused both these conditions. Thereupon M. Thiers, who was negotiating on tho prt of the French at the Frisian royal head quarters, was recalled, and tho proposed armistice failed. Did tho French Trovisional Government really desire an armistice ? Was it afraid of submitting the question of peace to the peo ple ? Was it apprehensive of tho popnlnr vote being against itself and the republic 't There is a suspicion that tho men who oo.n poso that Government carad loss about pouoe or Fiance than maintaining their own power at any cost. It is thought by same that they are pandering to the passions of tho worst classes, regardless of tho welfare of the country, for the purpose of holding the rein of power. It may be so; still the latest news shows that the people iu Pari a, at leait, sus tain the defiant attitude of the Government. It is not unlikely that if the Government had accepted tho Frusian terms for an armistice it would have fallen before the fury of tho populace. The situation was a critioal ono, undoubtedly, though we think Julos Favra, Trochu, Gambetta, and all tho other loaders of tho French in this crisis should have risked something and have taken tho respon sibility to save Faris and the country from further disasters. While we adaiirethe heroism of the French people wo cannot close our eyes to the stern facts of their disorganized aud terrible condi tion. Yv'e cannot but. seo that they are in the grip of tho mighty hoses of Germany, and that their struggles are like those of the lao coon, Lopedessly enveloped and writhing in the coils eif the serpents. With all their line armies destroyed and six or seven hundred thousand veteran, well disciplined, and splen didly bandied troops of the enemy on their soil, how can they hope to turn the tide of battle ? Taris may mako a bravo defense, but it must fall in time before tho vast forces and resources of tho enemy. Unless something should occur some other proposition be ma do and accepted for an armistice or for peace tho beautiful and gay capital of Europe is doomed. This splendid capital of the civil ized world must fall us Stra.sburg and JIatz have fallen. It is a sad event to contemplate, and one that in the pages of history would not redound to the honor of Prussia if it pushes the war to such an extremity. Still the French will have to bear tho blame for not yielding to the fate of war and the inex orable demands of tho conqueror. It is possible some other terms may be pro posed to end this fearfully bloody war, either by the Prussians or through the interposition of foreign powers, though the prospect at present is gloomy. While none of the mon archical nations of Europe can be expected to look with favor upon the incipient French republic, it is not to their interest to see the cation destroyed or to have Prussia over whelmingly powerful. It is possible, then, that as the late proposed armistice has failed, some of the great powers, if not all, may yet find a solution for the diilioulty. We hope that may be so; that Paris and France may be saved, and that this bloodiest of modern wars may soon be ended. THE BALLOT-BOX AND THE JUDICIARY. From the N. Y. Times. There is one lesson taught, or rather strongly brought home to us, by the recent conviction of Terence Quinn by the United States Court, which we cannot ponder too seriously, more particularly as the people of this State will in a couple of years have another opportunity of saying whether or no they are satisfied with an elective judiciary, or, in other words, with the State courts as they are. Everybody acknowledges no.v that it is not possible, with the legal machinery provided by the State, to punish fraudulent practices at elections, whan they are commit ted by members of the majority. It is safe to say that this is not only true of the State of New York, but of every State in the Union in which the Judges are elective. Of course in the country districts, in which manners are still pure, the population educated, intelligent, and well to do, the evil is now and always will be less rife than it is in the large cities; and the defects of our elected courts as regards this duty are, therefore, less apparent. Bat it is quite certain that the success in cheat ing which had attended Democratic efforts here, and the way in which the State courts bad been robbed of all terrors for evil-doers in this particular matter of election frauds, would speedily have introduced similar prac tices into every city in the Union in which the majority was as ignorant and vicious as Democratio majorities in the great cities usually are. The whole machinery of popu lar government in our great centres of wealth and population would have become a disgusting farce if Congress had not iuter- fered. But is it not disgraceful that Congress should have to interfere ? Is it not moat ex traordinary that a great self-governing com munity like New York cannot provide the means of punishing the violators of its own laws, and those laws, too, passed for the pro tection of the most important of all the pro cesses of our political life, the election of public officers '( Is it not too bad that eveu the ltPfmblicans of the country districts should have been as lukewarm, as they were when the Constitutional Convention met, about putting an end to a system which hn j brought us to tho pass which made it neces sary to carry Quinn before Judge Woodruff ? It must be rememborod that "repeating," and other offenses of a similar character, are punishable by State laws. The sole reason why Congress had to take charge of our elections, is that we could not get tho State laws enforced, aud the reason why we could not get tho State laws enforced was that Judges elected by universal suffrage, and dependent on the Tammany ring for ro comination, could not be got to give de cisions adverse to the interests of tho domi nant party. What gives the Federal Judici ary its value in the matter is not that it is Federal, but that it holds office for life. If our State Judges hoi I oilice for life, or wore only romovblo by a c'i'uige in the 0 institu tion, most assuredly wo should not have to go into the Federal Courts to have our reporters brought to justice. There ure on the New York bench plenty of men as good as any on tbe United States bench, aud the United States judges aro chosen from among just iuch men as, wo aro glad to say, ovil as tho times are, still compose tho bulk of the New York bar; but wo have a judicial system which retilly, except in tho caso of tho Court tf Appeals, seems framed to stimulate what ever is bad in tbe judge's nature, or paralyzo what is good. Jhe rennlt is that we have to go to the United States Courts to protect tho puiity of our elections, and wo are only saying wLat every lawyer knows to bo true, when we say that we would all go thero, too, for the protection of our property, if wo could. As it is, every cose involving largo interests, in this city at least, which can by any twisting or turning of constitutional provisions bo got into the Federal Courts, is got into tnoui. Iu other words, not only has the experi ment inado in various States, of an eloctive judiciary, with short terms of ofuco, been proved a failure, but the systom of appoint ment or life tenure is an acknowledged buc cess. Wherever people have the ohoioo be tween tho State Courts and tho Fodoral Courts they choose tbe latter; and this not because the Federal judges aro always moro learned lawyers or more upright men than tho State judges, but because they sit under a system which insures their independence. Democratic orators aro constantly pratiug about centralization of late years. Centrali zation is indeed almost the only theme they do not find too deiicato to handle. But if there be any tendency to centralization, it is Democratio politicians who are creating and fostering it. Tho danger of centralization does not lie in what jjjou in Congress say or enact, but in what people through the coun try feel. Tho great ends of govommeuf, after all, are security for lifo and property, and for tho freo play of tho faculties. As long as State laws and State Judges providj this, within the limits prescribed by the Con stitution, we may rely upon it local self government will have too many attrac tions for the popular mind to mako it possible for Congress to encroach on it. But only let rascally politicians succeed in doing what they are doing in Now York diffusing through tbe community a deep senso of in security, with regard not only to their pos sessions and their persons, but with regard to the enjoyment of their political rights and the seeds of centralization will indeed be sown. If anybody wants to see the four men who Lave done most to promote cen tralization in this State, he must take a look at lion man and I woed and Barnard and Car dozo. There is worse iujury done to State lights in ftoom Jo. l.l in ono day than Con gross could do in ton years. ABE THE INHABITANTS OF OTLTELi WOltLDS MEN ? From the A'. Y. Sun. The llev. Henry Ward Boecher, answering in the CJtrMian Union a correspondent who interrogates nim concerning tho spiritual con dition of tho inhabitants of tho other planets of the solar Bateni, lirtit questions whether there are any Buch inhabitants at all, and tten goes on to remarft as follows: But admitting that the other orba are populated Willi rational and iuteliliteut creatures, ic by no menus follows that they have had a history like our own rat e, or mat tiiey psycuoiogicaiiy resemble ua. It Is not pro'i.ible that the human species exhausts the possibilities of variation.-' In the first plaoe, Mr. Beochor ought to be able to do more than barely admit tao possi bility of there being other inhabited worlds than our own. A man of his largo and liberal views ought to see, without argument, the absurdity of supposing that the countless stars, which astronomy teaches us aro so many suns, Bhino only for the sake of the feeble light which, on moonless nights, they auom tins uttie eartn, or oven that the nianv planets which surround us aro mere barrea masses of matter. If tho Creator be at all a being of Buch power and goodness combined as every religion represents him to be, his creation of intelligent beings cannot be limited to the narrow area with which we aro acquainted. And, if there are such beins. it is equally illogical to suppose that they euner irom us in any essential particular, eitner as to tne body or as to tho soul. The tendency of science is, without exoop tion, towards tho demonstration of the unity of creation, and of the substantial harmony of all its parts. From the most elevated mail down to the lowest reptile, comparative zoology traces a chain of gradual descent, each step of which retains a resemblance to one common human form. The vegetable kingdom has its analogies to the animal, and the mineral, again, to the vegetable. Tho botanist shows that in the tree thero is a svs tern of bloodvessels and lunc;s and physiologi cal functions, which are a perfect counter part oi tne corresponding system m the mimaii body; ana in tne prooess of crystalli zation and chemical combination, there are many features of resemblance to vegetable growth. As to the races of men, they differ among themselves only in superficial djtails. and not in essentials. No exploration has yet revealed men without human bodies. heads, legs, and arms, or without hearts and limes and other vital organs, or wanting ia any of tho fundamental constituents of the human mind. To crown all, we are told in the Bible that man was created in the image and likeness of God, thus clearly indicating that the Deity himself h the common type ol wnien mi men ore unito and impericct copies To those who, like Mr. Beecher, profess to accept the Bible as a divine revelation, this should be decisi , e as proving tho unity of tne races on tins planet at least. Bat if the inhabitants of this earth, widel? scattered as they are, aud differing as they do i r l , , J iu coior, ibbuucs, mm outward appoarinoa, are yet alike iu their essential bodily and mental characteristics, end if all the inferior voiks of creation have a unity with man aud with each other, by what process of reasoning can it be made to appear prob ible that the creatnre on any other planet are not sub Bianuaiiy just sucn ueings as we are.' 11 we find throughout the worl i with which we are acquainted a uniformity of type, why should that umtormity cease witn our boundaries. enpeciaUy if we admit that the same Go 1 created them and us? Mr. Beooher my t-ilk 68 much as he pleases about not exhausting the "possibilities of variation," but unless he limits that variation by fidelity to the com mon divine image, lie talks of what is impos sible on any other bppothesis than that of a plurality of gods.t NO, THANK YOU. From the AT. I. Tribune. The London Spectator, disoussinc "tho use of rrince-Dukes," proposes among the publio employments in which the Marquis of Lome, after he becomes the husband of a ltoyal Princess, will be peculiarly serviceable, that of British ambassador at Washington. We most earnestly hope the youuo man will stay at home. Wo have no doubt that he is an excellent person; but an event so poiteuto.n as tne introduction ot a lioyal Princess luto Washington society is not to be contemplated without terror. The efllucnco of titled aris tocracy, even of the humbler sort, has a pain ful effect upon the Amoricau character; and a winter at Washington, vith Queeu Viotoria's daughter presiding over the hospitalities of tho British embassy, would bo to sensible and thinking people almost unendurable. We hate to 1)0 impolite, but the truth is, tho women of this noblo republic ato not to bo trusted in tho society of the children of royalty. They are too ready to get upon their knees. What a hideous arena of ignoble manoeuvres tho national capi tal would become when half the foshionablo women of the United States were there scheming for tho favors of the Princess Louise! What envy would tear tho bosoms of tho fair, what wrath would shoot froai jealous eyes, what ynk;ar elation would fol low every social victory : Going to Washing ton woidd be something like getting pre sented ot court, and we should have hero at home, right under our eyes, degrading our daily lives and convulsing our families, all tho petty intrigue, meanness, vanity, and self-abasement which distinguished a certain section of tho American colony in Paris during tho palmy days of tho empire. Wo prefer a simple gentleman like Mr. Thornton to ary sueli gorgeous embassy as the Upecti trr is kind enough to propose for us. Tho riincess Louise would doubtless be n boon to sonio capitals, but not to ours. She would, so to speak, take all the starch out of the moral character of tho American woman. THE NEGIIO AND COTTON PICKING. Frinu the A". 1'. Journal of Commerce. Journals in the cotton States complain of the scarcity of labor for cotton picking. The chief trouble is with the negToes, who aro up to their eyes in politics, aud spurn tbo most tempting offers to pull the crop. A Florida paper says that tho negroes there " have be come so oxcited on the subject of politics that tho planters have groat diilioulty in get ting tneir crops harvested. Tho Memphis Apj'tal asserts that "though the fields are white with cotton, tho picking force is inade quate. Many negroes aro desertiug the fields, end efforts aro muking to supply their places with white labor." Iho Galveston Jfeics re marks "many of our freodmen refuse 7" cents to l and upwards, specio (per l() lbs.), for cotton picking." To head off, as far as we could, thi3 misfortune of the scarcity of labor at the most critical time, which occurred last year, which occurs this year, and which will occur every year as long as the freodmen aio tho prey of political colporteurs, we have strenuously recommended tho importation of Chinamen to tho South. This is tho first and bost remedy for the ills prevalent not only at this time of cot ton harvesting, but at all times aud in all pursuits at tho South under tho now order of things. To Chinese labor the Southern planter, and many a Northern manufacturer, too, will have to come at last. But, foresee ing tho great obstacles that would be thrown in the way ef getting hands, wo told Euro pean immigrants idling in tho North (less for want of work than lor tho disposition to do it) to buy tickets and go South by tho middle of October, and there in tho cotton fields thny would find plenty of not over-hard occupa tion at good vn','6s. Onco there, we coun selled them to st .y and work plantations on shares, making tho contracts from January next. We showod how well this had paid where tho experiment was tried. Immigrants nowly landed, or citizens not well-to-do in tho North, who took our advice, are now thankful for it. Such is, or was, the scarcity of labor owing to the profound immersion of tho negro in politics, that the New Orleans Price Current, in a recent article, thought it would be cheap to give free railroad or steamboat tickets and return to hands in the North to go to Louis, iann, Texas, or Arkausas, and 10 per day and rations for the whole six months from October to April 15. The laborer eluring that period would escape the cost of extra fuel and clothing of a northern winter, bo well fed, and have Kt the end of six months, il saving, over '2'2o clean cash in his pookot more, probably, than ho ever had before. Perhaps some such suhome will bo organized for tbo next soason. It is not too late for Northern laborers to make a good thing out of the South this winter. But they must pitch in at once, and on their own account, not dawdle about the great cities waiting for son:e Southern committee to hunt them up. THE AGE OF STEEL. From the Industrial Bulletin. There has been during the past few years a very lurge number of inventions announced having for thoir object to convert iron into steel by some cheap and Bimple process. Cast iron is a compound or mixture of iroa and carbon, from which steel differs by having less portion of carbon, and wrought iron is nearly free from carbon. Tho usual process of making steel is to convert pig iron into wrought iron, which is then recarbonized in the cementing furnace. These processes are tedious and oostjy, and the minds of inven tors, both here and abroad, have been in a ferment, with the purpose of discovering, and often with the belief that there had been discovered, a Bhort cut which would tarn molten iron directly into steel, and their chemical processes have been triumphantly announced as successful, and have had short lived celebrity. The fuilure of ninety-nine methods in no way disconcerts the discoverer of tbe one hundredth, and the proprietors of iron works are constantly annoyed by the sanguine inventors who possess a secret way of making steel, which they wish to have tested on a large soale for the purpose of demotstrating its incalculable value. The fallacy in the numberless methods which have dit appointed the hopes of their projectois consists in the fact that English and American pig iron not oalyoontiiu cir bon tbic-h must be eliminated to bring it up to the standard of steel, but also certain sub stances called impurities silica, phospho rus, and sulphur. It is comparatively easy to get rid of tho carbon, but very difficult to purge away those other deleterious matters, and it is not enough to take away the greater part of them, for more than a mere traos is destructive to the production of steel. It is the fact that some brands of pig iron omtiin less than '2 per cent, of carbon, or about the perctutuge of the finest brands of steel, bat the presence of Homo or all of the imparities 1 we Lave alluded to .renders them wocthles for the uses of steel. Tho difference between tho Bessemer nnd other processes consists miinly in this, t hit bis method removes all the carbon, and with it all foreign substances, while the others aim to reduce the carbon to a Gcrtaiu re piirrd point, a proportional amount of tho k-q uri ties remaining with it. Bcsseui r, after re moving all impurities, recarbouizes tho molten metal by tho introduction of spioe'; sen, a metal having a definite proportioi ef carbon, and containing no deleterious sub Btanccs whatever. It may be doubted if Mr. Bessemer was the discoverer of the pi'noi ph'H involved in his process, as Williaui Kelley, of Ohio, claimed priority, b it h') in vented and perfected ui'ichinery for conduct ing the operutions successfully. Iho manufacture of Bessemer steel bns extended very greatly in England and Fran;o and Germany, and within a short time lias been successfully conducted in the United States. Owing to the novelty of the opera tions, end to tho fact that many qualities of iron prove refractory and unfitted for the process, experiments in tho manufacture iu this country have been very costly, and a considerable proportion have been failures. Foreign manufacturers, alarmed by tha efforts to establish steel works on tho Bjs Remer plan in the United States, reduced their prices, until they were invoicing thwir steel rails at a rate below that at which th5 best quality of American wrought iron rails can be produced. Unfortunately, as Bessemer steel roils wero a now product, not named in the tariff of 1801 and its supplements, they fell into tho general clause covering nnenu merr.ted fabrics of steel, nnd wero subject to an ud valorem duty of forty-fivo per cent. The effect of fraudulent nnder-valuations to ekeat tho revenue, and of bona fi le reduc tions of price to break down the market, has been to greatly embarrass tho new works starting up in this country, and a lurgo amount of money has been suuk in the business. Tho specifio duty of 1 cents por pound imposed by the now tariff bill i3 not moro then the equivalent of tho former ad vdircm duty, if it could havo been honestly collected, and tbo outcry of the fee-traders about-an increr.se of duty on Bessemer steel is doubly a falsehood. That the manufacture could not be cariied on in this country under former tariff rates has been clearly demonsfrated; but tho guaranty of stability which is givou by tbe bill passed at last session will breathe new life into the business, and wo may ox pot t such experiments to bo conducted in dillcrent pnits ot tno country with, various ores, and such improvomeiils in machinery to be made as will enable us to substitnto steol for many of tho uses in which iron is now employed. That wo only do this through homo pro duction must be readily apparent to every body except tho agonta of foreign steol manufacturers ond the newspapers paid bv them to abuse everybody engaged in the laudable work of establishing this now and most important industry of the UnitedStit.es.
