Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon Current Toplot Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE PEACE ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA.' Frrm Ute X. Y. Utrald. Itussia, ho long the bugbear of timid diplo matists in Western Europe, claims at tlais hour of llie nineteenth century to bo an en lightened as well as a mighty power. The traditions of Nesselrotlo bavo bona abandoned in all bnt tho broad abstract views which that statesman cherished for the safety and honor of the vast realm to which his gonitis gave no exalted an influence at the uiouiont when Na ppleou I, Laving trampled all the rest of Eu rope under foot, recoiled from the batik of the Moskwa in utter dismay before the resist ance and self-sacrifice of a people whose mar tial courage was but the out. ward symbol of their devolioa to their prince and their conn try. Another epoch of Russian history came in with the Czar Nicholas and has continued in progressive expansion with the aocession of Alexander to Uj imperial throne. The ideas which made Peter the Great the leading monarch of his time, in hia honest respect for the toiling people and hia wise efforts to bestow npon his native land the practical improvements and advantages already acquired by Western nations, have found an advanced interpreter in Alexander, who is recognized by his contemporaries as a man of most amiable disposition in private ife, a deep thinker, an accomplished scholar, a wise counsellor, and in all respects a truly able intellect. For these reasons, also, and as an inevitable deduction from the rest, the reigning Emperor of all tho Itnssrias abhors the sanguinary horrers of war, and loves the very name of peace. This noble tendency of his mind has been repeatedly proved on oooa sions when the brusque word of a mere mili tary martinet in bis exalted place would have cost the lives ef thousands of poor wretches on his Asiatic frontiers or in some of the agitated towns of his German principalities. Last spring his long conferences with the King of Prussia at liuis, as our correspondent reminds us, led him to hope that there was no danger of any rapture of the European peace, and when, the Hohenzollern-Spanish difficulty subsequently arose it was largely to his influence that the withdrawal of the Ger man PriDce might have been ascribed. Alex ander hoped that such withdrawal would end the trouble. 'When, however, the war at last burst forth and began to assume Euro pean proportions, it was tho Russian Empe ror's judicious management which prevented Austria on the one hand and the Scandina vian countries on the other from taking part in tho quarrel. This line of po licy, wlich Alexander doemed the best for his peoplo, was main tained in the very teeth of publio Hentiment at home, wliich altogether favored France. Moreover, discovering the existence of a secret treaty between France and Austria, by the terms of which tho latter power was to send an invading force of two hundred thou sand men into Prussian Silesia on the signal of a victory gained by France on the right bank of the Rhine, Russia, without wading through the tedium of diplomatic forms, promptly signified her determination to op pose any such extension of the aroa of the war. Her remonstrance was emphatic and it was heeded. Austria withdrew from her equivocal attitude, aud any de monstration that sho may now attempt, can only be for the benefit of peace, unless the Prussian Government has come to the doubtful conclusion of braving tho opinion of all Europe. In a few words, then, the bearing of the Czar and his counsellors has been equally wise, dignified, and benig nant worth of a great sovereign and a Biighty people in a juncture of vast respon sibility. Attain, after the terrible collapse of the French Empire at Sedan, Alexander once more, even while complimenting King Wil liam ef Prussia on his wonderful success, in terceded for the sake of moderation and gene rous dealing, and his efforts now are directed to a settlement of the sad conflict and the restoration of a cordial peace. Far from being hostile to the republican government of France as recognized by the will of the people, the Czar has directly pleaded in its favor, and by the force of his example induced both England and Anslria to join him in recommending an armistice and a final peace to Prussia. That Russian diplomacy does not look with fear and dislike upon the principle of republicanism in the abstract, in countries where it meets the re quirements of the people and the time, may be honestly inferred from its protection of Swiss independence in lMl." and its earnest friendship for the American Union in our recent struggle for existence. The policy of Rustia to-day is peace. She is struggling to extend her railroad system, in which bhe has l,000,00,0i0 roubles invested, throughout the empire; to develop her vast internal resources; to ameliorate the condi tion of her 70,000,000 subjects; to civilize and Christianize the motley tribes acknow ledging her sceptre, and to prepare her way through kindly channels fr the grand con trol that awaits her in the East. While we cannot admit that the thinkers and travellers of America many of whom are publicists, and some of whom have both traversed and studied the Russian empire and system thoroughly are always at fault, we can readily accord to the reigning Czar and his Cabinet the credit of heartily cherish ing peace, of detesting war, of seeking to localize and restrict the quarrels that politi 'oal ambition awakens among their neighbors, of favoring rational liberty and progress at all times, and of desiring to go hand in band with their friend our own great republic in all things that are for the benefit of their mighty State at home and for the good of mankind. That the friendship of Russia and the Rus sians for our own country is real we have had constant and convincing proof. The Czar Nicholas, during his entire reign, showed every possible favor to Americans visiting Lis realm or sojourning there for either plea sure or business, lie employed American engineers upon the most flattering terms in the construction of his railways, harbors, and fleets, and invariably received our men of science, of literature and of commercial, manufacturing, and mechanioal skill, with marked distinction. lie was wont to express to leading men from the United ' States the utmost admiration for the charac ter of Washington and his brother soldiers and patriots, and to predict a brilliant future for this republic. His successor new on the imperial throne has, from first to last, mani fested similar sentiments, and has practically illustrated them upon every proper ocoasion. la 1801 Alexander resisted all the blandish rnenta of Napoleon III, who tried every tueana to win Lim over to a European coali tion against us. In doing so he spoke ef our Union as "t blessing and a necessity to mankind' Fortunate, Indeed, is ,it, i therefore, tht such a power, so strong, as well as so en lightened, at its seat, of government, and controlled by a man of sfloh exalted views as Alexnnder, holds tfje fastnesses of the North and the East of Europe, at a moment so pregnant with the fate of Old World civiliza tion. Her immense political weight is the ballast of the continent, as her ssnsible policy may yet become its guiding star. Rus sia in the Old World and the great republio in the New have each a civilizing and restrain ing mission. In many respect, Although in A different light, they nre tho complement of each other, and form, even now, the true "balance of power" to steady the nations. In the earlier phase of our national life the At lantic ocean was tho chief scene of commer cial activity, but in theso later years our gaze has been directed to a far grander area of en terprise upon the broad lV:ini San Fran cisco and the noble seaport cities that are springing into vigorous life along the bays and inlets of the Columbia river and Paget Sound look wistfully across to the splendid trade of eastwardly-advanoing Russia, which begias to debouch from the abounding waters of the Amoor. The opulent products of Asia roll down to the sea, awaiting the gold and Bilver of California and her sister States, which thrill back the tidings over wires and rails that never rest to our own glorious Em pire City. The hundreds of millions of Ori entals who within Another generation are to virtually feci the sway of Russia will, throngu her and with h r, gladly hail the splendid in crrase of American liberty and prosperity. In Ruch an alliance, as it exists to-day, and as it shall be cemented and developed into joint action in years no louger distant, msnkiud has substantial guarantees of peace at taut The statesman is no doubt already living who, informed by the true spirit of Amen con foresight and sound sense and imbued with the genuine fervor of Christian free dom, shall utter words at Washington which, re-echoed at St. Petersburg, will impose silence and reconciliation whero tumult and discord now trample down the law, and con sign thousands to violent death. Such may well be the lofty aim of the two really lead ing powers of tho earth America and Russia. THE TERRIBLE CARNAGE IN EUROPE. Ft om the N. Y. Hun. We learn from authentio sources that the losses of the German armies during the pre sent war nave been far greater than the popular estimate, however high that may have rated them; so enormous, in faot, that the Government has not dared to tell tho number. fearing that the announcement might cool the martial ardor which now animates the German people, and induce them to demand peace if only tor tne sake ot putting an end to tho slaughter It may be doubted whether in our day the terrible secret will be permitted to leave the archives of the Prussian War Office. As the Prussians have generally been tne attacking party, ana their needle gun proves to be an inferior weapon to the Chassepot, much of this loss has been inevita ble; but some of it must also be attributed to the rashness of headstrong and excitable generals, like Von Steimuetz, who was dis graced by King W llliam for wantonly sacn licing his troops, and will probably never bo permitted to hold an active command in the field again. For weeks after tho battles around Metz and Sedan, the stench of the do composing aud half-buried bodies of men and animals poisoned the air aud drove away the tourists eager to explore the fields of such stupendous events. The slaughter would undoubtedly have been much less had the war been conducted with the precision of the old-faahioned school of generals; but the same results would not have been obtained, and wo have the autho rity of General Sheridan for saying that the pushing process, as illustrated by the Gar man commanders, considered from a military and rot a humanitarian point of view, was the only one that would answer. Whether a short, decisive, and bloody war it morally worse than a protracted one involving a comparatively slight loss of life, is a question which cannot fairly be put to the Germans in the present instance. ' They were prac cally the attacked and, many will say, had lone been the menaced party, and had the right to end the contest ia the shortest pos sible manner, Hatter let the blood of the tens of thousands of slaughtered Germans and Frenchmen who sleep beneath the soil of Alsace and Lorraine rest upon the head of tho wicked instigator of the war. King Wil liuin is said to have been affected to tears when he heard of the needless loss of life in Von Steinmotz's corps before Metz; but we have yet to hear that Louis Napoleon has ex hibited emotion over any graver cause than his own downfall or the humiliation of France. GRANT ATTACKED BY HIS FRIENDS. From the X. Y. World. The Philadelphia Pres of Thursday makes the headlong publication by President Grant of the correspondence between himself and ex-Secretary Cox the occasion of a most bit ter and biting attack upon the President and his administration. It is perfectly well known that Mr. Cox was called from Ohio to Wash ington by President Grant of his own motion and in fulfilment of his own pet theory that he would be able to manage his administra tion without consulting "the politicians" of his party. So little of a "politician" in the radical tense was Mr. Cox that the Preot now de clares him to have been a "defender and apologist of Andrew Johnson while that illustrious personage was rioting in all sorts of recklessness to overthrow the Republican party and finally the Government itself." Of course this language, being done into English, means that Mr. Cox, though a Re publican by oonvietion, was indisposed, like Senator FesBenden, Senator Grimes, Senator Trumbull, and other rational leaders of that party, to lend his countenance to the mad and lawless attempt of the body of his party to overthrow, in the person of Andrew John son, the legal independence and the just in fluence of the Federal Executive. Doubtless it was in the conviction that this was true of Mr. Cox that President Grant invited him to a seat in his Cabinet. It has bee alleged, indeed, by enemies of the Pre sident that hia only reason for offering such a place to Mr. Cox was his strong personal friendship for that gentleman. But to aooept this story would be to con demn the President as one of the weakest and most disloyal we will not say of "poli ticians," but of men. He expressly reiter ates to Mr. Cox, in accepting the latter's resignation, the expression of his nnchanced personal regard. If, then, he had no better reason for making Mr. Cox a Cabinet minister than personal friendship, and without losing that personal friendship permits his friend to be "hounded" out of his position, his charac ter appears in a light wholly the reverse either of amiable or estimable. We will assume, then, that President Grant called Mr. Cox into his Cabinet because he r . ally toped to be able to administer the gov ernmextt ' honestly bj the hands of honest men. That Mr. (Jox ; in his department ban endeavored to meet this expectation nnder vtnicn we assume that he came kto WcshSngtcn at first has not, we believe, been call til in question by any one until the present, moment, nor do we peroelve that it is now called in question. To question It would be lo attack the administration of President Grant in a vital point, mdi the correspon dence between President Grant and Mr. Oox, published with the oonsent if not by the order of the President, clearly proves that npon all public questions arising in his de partment Mr. Cox was in the habit of freely end fully conferring with the Presi dent. What the Philadelphia Press now charges upon the President is that, after an eighteen months' experience of "honesty" iu the Department of the Interior, he made up Lis mind that it either never had bnnn or had censed to be the "best policy." Tho Prcm distinctly charges the President with miking up Lis mind to this effect when it states that Le "hitcrposid his executive authority" tj arrest ti e course of business in the Depart ment of the Interior in the case of a certain Mr. McGarraban, described by Mr. Cox as "a frftudnlent claimant, who had twice been foiled atd defeated in his fraud by the highest court in the nation." If President Grut was justified in originally selecting Mr. Cox to administer the Department of the Interior, such langnnge used by Mr. Cox in reference to a case of long standing before him should have been sufficient to determine the respon sibility of tho action in the matter wholly and finally upon Mr. Cwx himself. That it did not have this effect npon tho Presidential mind can only be explained upon one of three suppositions. Either Mr. Cox was not originally worthy of the office to the acceptance of which ho was eagerly provoked by President Grant. Or, President Grant was not sinooro in making Mr. Cox believe when he called him to Washington that he would be allowed to administer Lis office honestly and conscien tiously. Or, President Grant having originally in tended and expected to administer the Gov ernment honestly, according to the measure of his own ability and of the ability of his advinser, has gradually abandoned his original intention and expectation, and come to the conclusion that he may as well deal with power as the opportunity of profit. Upon either of these suppositions the con-. duct of President Grant in this matter has been clearly and utterly unworthy of an up right man, a man of character, or a man of intelligence. It demands, and we are sure it will receive, the most thorough and searching investigation. IS THE TIDE TURNING? From thr X. Y. Times. The recapture of Orleans is a success the moral effect of which in Franoe cannot be over estimated. It forms the first substantial achievement of a gloomy and unbroken series of reverses. It has, moreover, been gained by freshly-organized and imperfectly disci plined troops, and will do more than six months of drilling to infuse confidence into the men hastily collected from the farm and workshop to defend their country in the hour of her darkest trial. Defeat after de feat has failed to break the spirit of the French nation. They have refused to believe that the grandsons of the men who, a hun dred years ago, carried the victorious eagles over Europe, and left the memory of their conquest from the Elbe to tho Adriatic, could have so degenerated as to be subdued in a single campaign. The rest of the world has looked on in wonder at the collapse of a great nation, but has long ago concluded that tho wisest course for the rulers of France was to bow to the inevitable. The first achievement of the Army of the Loire makes the prospect of their doing so more distant than ever, and by arousing the emulation of tho garrison of Paris, the Army of the North, and the other sections of the national defenders that are sufficiently organized to, appear in the field, may lead to partial successes, whose effect in prolonging the war is as certain as their fiual result is doubtful. No Bane man out of Franoe believes that, single-handed, she can shake off the iron grasp of the invader. Time is against the PinsbianB, in bo far that it brings them nearer to the rigors of winter; but time is also against France, as it brings Paris face to face with approaching starvation. There is a Bpecious sort of promise in the idea of the armies slowly organizing in the provinoes being marched simultaneously to the relief of Paris, and operating against the besiegers in conjunction with the four hundred thousand armed men behind the walls. But, admitting that the soldiers of the Republio may compare with those of Germany in what Geneial Trochu calls the motive power of an army, i. c.,in devotion, self-sacrifice, and discipline, how inferior they are in what the same autho rity defines as the mechanism or material force need not be stated. The soldiers of the Empire were inferior to their opponents in both these essential requisites, aud while the patriotic aspect which the struggle has now assumed may supply them with what was wanting of the first, it would require years to remove their inferiority in the second. After all, the true significance of a gleam of returning success to France will be its effect npon the great powers who are watch ing with profound interest the progress of the conflict. Coming at such a time, tho somewhat unceremonious rebuff adminis tered by Count Bismarok to Austria may lead to important results. We have previ ously expressed an opinion that there were diplomatic reasons behind the refusal of the Provisional Government to accept the Prus sian terms of armistice. The obvious cool ness which at present exists between Prussia and both Austria and Russia leads to the belief that communications boding no good to the Prussian plan of conquest have passed between these powers and France. To aid in establishing a republio would be a very ungrateful task to both the empires, but the apparent impotence of the trench people themselves has hitherto been the most power ful obstacle to any foreign Alliance. A con viction that personal interest and interna, tional policy alike favored intervention might have overcome the firBt scruple: nothing but some proofs to the contrary would dissipate the second. No one can doubt that Austria views with serious and well grounded alarm the rapid accom plishment of Prussian supremacy in Germany. Indications have not been want ing that closer relations have been lately forming between the Courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna. While Russia, personally, has less to fear from a victorious Germany than she would have had from a French Empire which had seoured the left bank of the Rhine, she cannot be insensible to the danger of the Pan-Germanism which justifies the annexa tion of Alsace and Lorraine being extended to her Baltic provinoes, And may likewise feel little disposed to see Franoe sink to the level of a second-rate Power. That any actual alliance has beea formed between 1 ! t ( . eitbef of tbe Eastern Towers and Franco, is I as a piece of news obviously unfounded. But that there are some indications pointing that way is no less clear. . . - . . - - THE REPEATERS AND THEIR BACKER3. ftnrt the X. Y. Tribune. ...... How completely the Demooratio party ia this city Las chosen to identify itsalf with fraudulent voting and false counting of votes, tbofce who do not habitually re id their journals can hardly realize. The reoeat Acts of Congress, whioh had no otker object And could have Lad no other effect than to pre vent aud punish illegal voting and misooaut ing, have been fought by that party with des perate and untiring malignity. Day after diy have they been stigmatized, in coaneotion Viilh the President's enforcement thereof, as an invasion of State rights a oonspiraoy to Mibveit the right of suffrage the interposi tion cf bayonets to drive the Democratic voters from the polls, etc., eto. Yet not for years before have tho legs! electors of our city enjoyed such facilities for polling their votes as at the election of this week. No "negro troops," nor white troops, were anywhere visible; none would ia any case have been employed unless in defense of the rights of legal voters against fraud and vio lence. It never before was so easy for a legal voter to register as this fall; it never before was so easy for a registered legal voter to vote exactly as he saw fit. Never befote were ruffians and ruffianism more thorongbly overawed; never before did legal electors so generally exercise their right unmolested and unintimidated. Up to this hour, not one of our city's 140,000 legal voters has complained that ho was precluded from registering, or, being duly registered, from voting as he dec rued best. Bnt, in spite of our Republican fends and. quftTTelrt, which impelled the nomination of rival Republican candidates in several dis tricts and so paralyzed ns that a full quarter of our votes were not polled, Hoff mau's ma jority in 18G8 was reduced by no less than 17,000 votes. We believe he had as many legal votes as in 1808; yet his Aggregate in the city is cut down more than 25,OW votes, in defiance of the most desperate efforts and a lavish expenditure of publio money. There were not less than ten thousand men receiving ay from the city's treasury when our ate election was held who would not have been on the - city's pay-rolls had there been no election this fall. Boulevards, street-sweeping, street-opening, street-paving with Nicolson or other devices, Central Park, Croton water in short, everything munici pal were made to swell the long array of Tammany electioneers and voters. And yet, with all manner of drumming, cannonading, rocket-firing, and immense out-door meetings night after night, Hoffman's vote is reJuoid from 112,522 to not far from 80,000. The repeater is a publio enemy. He is a felon And a traitor as dangerous as And baser than any rebel armed to subvert by bloodshed our republican liberties. He ought to be hunted down like a wolf And made to realize that his crime is regarded with uni versal detestation and abhorrence. Yet here is a great party, which hires cunning law yers to pettifog the case of these villains and exhaust every legal quibble in the hope of screening them from justice! Is it not clear that they who do this aro morally as guilty as the criminals they conspire to shield from punishment ? Who does not see that the party which thus makes itself the Accomplice And "fence" of repeaters knows right well that they are its useful servitors, and that it is their partner in guilt 't TnE MISSOURI REVOLUTION. Ft em the y. Y. Journal of Commerce. Missouri had a political earthquake on the 8th instant. The effects were tremendous. The Bolid ground of administration supremacy in that State was broken up, And through the yawning gaps a proud party, like Korah and his troop, have gone down fathoms deep. The Missouri election is the most remarkable political revolution of the age. President Grant staked all that he had to give on tha issue, and lost. Never was policy more in fatuated than his. He had no business to meddle in the election. He might have kept out of it had he chosen. But, either through ignorance of the state of politics in Missouri, or yielding to the bad counsels ol weak And unscrupulous men, he stepped down from that high platform of non-inter-ei.ee in State issues which the President of the United States ought always to stand upon (And he has done it many times before) and threw the whole might of his offi cial influence and patronage with theMcC'lnrg party. Every office-holder who would not sell out his principles for Government pay was removed. To the honor of human nature, manj there were who would not bar ter away their sincere convictions for Presi decitlal sops, and who put their heads under tke executioner's axe without fear or regret. It was a reign of terror; and, as suoh reigns always do, elicited many noble examples of courage and self-sacrifice. The crime for which tbese'men were punished was that of daring to differ from the Washington powers on the questions of revenue reform and am nesty. Mr. (iratz Brown is as good a Re publican as ever President Grant was, or any of the liook of- the "faith ful;" fcut Le did not believe that the management of tbe national finances was the height of human wisdom, and that tho denial of a general amnesty to the South was other than a piece of mean illiberality, un worthy of this era and this great people. He would have corrected the errors of Republicanism witfiin the strict party lines. 15 ut tbe admin istration foolishly chose to force him into an attitude of hostility to the Republican party; and persecuted him and his friends with greater venom than if they had been ont-and out Democrats. To his side theDemocratic party of the State rallied. Differing from Mr. Brown in many matters, they yet fully agreed with him upon the necessity of revenue reform of the South. In thoso particulars his fight was theirs. The blood of every martyr decapi tated by Presidential erders for the inex piable offense of daring to call his soul his own became the quickening seeds of the new revolution, vthich Las borne the won drous fruits of from ii.'.twtO to 40,000 majo rity for Brown. To measure the extent of this political transformation, compare the re sult with that of the Gubernatorial election only two years ago, when the now defeated McClurg received a majority of li,it27. Suck is the lesson taught to the men at Washing ton who seek te coeree freemen into the nar row traces of A soulless partisanship. One can often see, even in such slow-moving changes as those daily going on on the surface of the earth, the transforming processes which have made geological epochs in the past. And so, in this great political Alteration in Missouri, we discern the more swiftly-acting forces which are to modify, radically, the national parties of this country. Let men look to Mis souri if they woald learn how the political revolution of the future U to be brought about. It is to be by the coalition of fair, moderate me of All parties on vital publio questions like those of amnesty, revenue reform, Andnstr tariffs. Old party bonds must t snapped and trampled in the dust. The terms "Republican" and "Demooratio" must be stripped of their Ancient mythioal meaning. Uider either of those party names, or neither, tbe men of the republio must be willing to join hands and work together for the publio good. Two years ago Missouri was as strong an administration State as any other. Little did the party in power think that in that short time she would pass under the control of those who henceforth are to) be its most implacable fnendes. What is to pre vent other Staff ft from making revolutions ? No'thicg. If Missouri cau do it, bo can Illi nois, at-d Ohio, and every other administration stronghold in the Union. And it is not improbable that they will unlikely as such events now seem to nnper filial observers. There are many thousands of Republicans in every State which now rolls up its heavy majorities to the Washing ton order, who share fully Gratz Brown a views of finance and commercial policy, and amnesty. Every day makes their antipat'-.v to the administration more intense; and it onlv needs the sudden outleaping of bold leaders to call to their standard enough dis satisfied Republicans, with Democratio mi noritics, to revolutionize the nation. That it needs revolutionizing in these respeots is evident to all whose visionlis nottobsonred by selfish personal interests And the settles of partisan slavery. Missouri points out the way and leads in it. How long before the Grf at West will follow, and the nation be ro ilecn.ed?
