THE ritOrOSED NEW PA.KTY.
Frtm the A. T. World.
In declaring pnr belief that the movement
for a ne patty cannot succeed, we would not
be understood to belittle the strength and
wide diffusion of the sentiment which its pro
jectors aim to orgauize. The Republican
party is fall of dissatisfaction. It is divided
in opinion, broken by feuds, disappointed in
General Grant, and feels that it cannot much
longer subsist on the dry husks of conirover
aies which, settled in politic, hare passed
into hibtory. The dissatisfaction is more
likely to grow than abate; but it does not fur
nish a promising basis for a new party.
The proposed movement has this singu
larity that the voters would all be drawn
from one of the existing political parties aad
the principles from the other. Bat the pro
per basis of a new political organization
would seem to be some opinion whieh neither
of the other parties holds or to which neither
of them attaches importance; and the mem
bership would naturally consist of seceders
from butb. The movement now projected
would not be ao much a new party as a
Kepnblican bolt. This bolt is planned on
the verdant expectation that the Demo
cratic patty will join it and nii'se it a
majority! But Democrats feel no such
dihsatisf action with their party as leads
many ltepublicaus to seek new political
connections. The free trade doctrine whieh
the new party proposes as its corner-stone
has been steadily held by the Democratio
party since General Jaokson's first term. The
fact that many Republicans have become
proselytes to free trade is an excellent reason
why they should join the Democratic party
by and by when they get ready; but no suffi
cient reason for a new organization. The
mountain did not come to Mahomet when he
commanded, and so the self-possessed prophet
thereupon did a very sensible thing in going
to the mountain.
The now-party scheme, which has caused
such a flutter in the Republican papers for
the last ten days, is, in one respect, note
worthy and instructive. It has been dinned
into everybody's ears, for a long time, that
the Democratic party has no principles suited
to the present condition of the country,
Well! in the midst of this sing-song a new
party comes to the birth, although it has not
yet strength enough to briug forth. This
new party, proceeding from the loins of the
old Republican organization, aims to be the
party of the future; to deal with none but
living issues. But lo and behold, it borrows
all its principles from the Democrats ! From
whence it appears that the Democratic party
is so rich in pertinent, timely issues that it
can furnish a first-rate outfit to a young aad
aspiring organization yet in embryo, which is
not even Hardened into the gristle of infancy,
much less into the bones of manhood. Surely,
Democratic principles have not fallen into
dotage and decrepitude, when the newest
born, unborn, or aspiring to be born politi
cai come-outers can nna noming treaner or
more full of promise than plants dug bat of
the Democratic nursery. The stir which this
new movement is making will convince many
people that the principles of the Democratio
party are not so antiquated and obsolete as
the Republican journals are fond of repro
senting.
The yearning for a new party is felt by
leaders and prominent men, but not by the
mass of converted voters. Citizens who do
not wish to ngure in public me, wno care
only for good government, and take no other
part in politics than te cast a silent vote, will
as readily pass directly over into the Demo
cratic ranks as stop at some half-way house to
save their pride, inceed, they nave no pride
in the matter, but merely a sense of duty,
With bustliDg politicians it is different,
They wish to save appearances; to change
aides without aeeming to surrender. The
manoeuvring for a middle ground
proceeds entiieiy troin tnis class.
The reason why they cannot auooeed
is, that their more obscure fellow-converts do
not share their sensitiveness. A citizen who
merely votes can protect himself, if he
chooses, by the secrecy of the ballot: but
active politicians, who wish to make a figure,
cannot change their party relations without
Dublicitv. Thev would rather be regarded as
leaders of a new party than proselytes or cap
tives in the ranks of the opposition. But as
Democrats are confident of winning the quiet
voters, they feel no anxiety about the would'
be leaders.
There is one glittering prize which dances
like an ignis fatuut before the eyea of a few
aspiring politicians, whom we warn not to be
lured by it into deceiuui nopea. it was
thought by many Democrats, in L808, that it
would be a capital stroke of policy to run
Chief Justice Chaae as a Presidential candi
date. The reasons by which such tactios were
unsuccessfully recommended then, will hare
so pertinence in 17. in lsbs tnere were
widespread doubts whether the Democratio
party would aeoept the results of the
war. Those doubts were felt to be
the chief obstacle to its suooess. It
waa accordingly thought by some Demo
crats, whose judgment waa even then de
cisirely overruled, that the nomination of
Judge Chase would most effectually remove
that distrust, and smooth the way to a Demo
cratic triumph. We shall encounter no such
misgivings in 1S72. No Deaocrat will think
of going outside of the party for a Presiden
tial candidate. Acquiescence in emancipation
and negro voting will be by that time univer
sal. No extraordinary means will be thought
requisite for allaying groundless fears. 80
we advise nobody to waste effort in getting
up a new party under tne misleading delu
sion that it may furnish a Deatooratio eandi
date for the Presidency, who will make
things pleasant for his earliest supporters.
We are of course gratified to witness the
apread of sound revenue doctrines. Aaong
the new converts we expect a great harvest
of Democratio recruits when a little more
time has been allowed for the crop to take
root and ripen.
THE CASE OF MARSHAL BAZAINE.
From the N. T, Tribune.
A telegram irom London announces tuat a
viadication of Marahal Baaaiae will probably
appear in the coarse of this week, ttosaething
of the Kind is certainly neeaed, for tne credit
of the French army, and still more of the im
perial cause which the Marshal upholds. The
voice of the subordinate officers Implioated in
the surrender of Meta ia almost unanimous a
angry condemnation -f Bazaine'a condaot; the
testimony of the newspaper correspondents
points to him as a traitor, and the Provisional
Government haa ordered hia arrest whenever
be may be found en the territory of Franoe.
A staff officer of the surrendered army one
VJ. iJtf Ylcour b1 receotly tajtfe crltkftl
report of the aiege, in which he distinctly 1
cbargea the Marabal with treacnery, ana mis
report has been published under tne sanction
of the Government. Of course a document
of this kind, when it accords so closely with
the wishes of those ofifloial anperior from
whom come promotion and other good gifts,
is always to be taken with reserve. Without
fully condemning tne Aiarnnai, tuereiore,
until we have heard his defense, we shall con
tent ourselves for the present with stating
the case as it 6 cads, so that we mty the bet
ter comprehend his atory whenever he shall
eee fit to tell it.
The opinion of the subordinate ,nnoers is
apparently very positive that there waa no
reason wby the iiriuy of the Rhine should
have been fastened up uuder the walla of
Met?., and there was no time, until the horses
were all dead of starvation or slaughtered for
food, when a vigorous sally would not have
released it. The last serious engagement waa
on the 31t of August the dy before the
Emperor's surrender and according to the
FrnnMan omcial statements tne condition 01
the field was such at the close of the day that
Bazaine by a bold night mar oh might have
effected a junction with MacMahon, and ao
prevented the dinnster of the 1st of Septem
ber. That he failed to do this does not ne
cessarily imply treachery: it is more probable
that the Marshal lacked the supreme military
virtues of decision and moral courage which
enable a commander at critical moments to
seize ft great opportunity in the face of for
midable dangers. But after the overthrow of
the empire, the state of the case was different.
A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
was in Metz all through the siege, and his last
Utters which have just been received tell
Bfciie remarkable facts. "After Sedan and
the fall of the empire," says this writer,
the news of which reached us on the 7th
of September, it became evident to all
that Marshal Bazaine refused to act
on the aggressive, lie would not com
promise nimsell in any way to puy a
waiting came waa bis poncy. lie bad be
tweeu 180,000 and L'00,000 men, and the be
Meters were but slightly more numerous
lie bad abundance of ammunition 01 all
kind. Ue had horses and artillery. On. all
principles ef military science it ought to
have been comparatively easy for him to cut
through the investing lines and make his way
to PariF, while the gates of the capital were
still open. Of course, tha loss would have
keen heavy, but the rosult would have been
ample compensation. Yet the sorties which
he made from time to time, when the clamor
of the Boldiers and citizens could no longer
be resisted, were never earnest, and appa
rently were never meant to succeed. Officers
who Insisted upon vigorous lighting wero im
prisoned. Newspapers which talked of aotive
operations wore suppressed.
But if it was clear that Bazaine did not
mean to cut his way out, it was equ tlly clear
that be did not mean to stand a long siege.
No care whatever was taken of the stores,
The commissaries petitioned again and ngiia
for a reduction of tuo rations, and only sue
ceeded at last, according to Colonel de Val-
court, "by using aotually violent language to
the Marshal's face." During at least fifty of
the seventy days' siepe, officers were not only
allowed to draw and use double rations in
camp, but to lire upon the provisions of the
town besides. - The horses of the cavalry and
artillery received full rations to the very last;
but this was not that they might be in good
condition for a sortie, for as soon aa forage
beeaiue scarce they were killed and eaten.
There never waa any systematio oolleotion
and distribution of the provisions in Metz,
and at the time of the surrender, though
luxuries were scarce, there was still a supply
of food, nobody really knows how much.
All this, it is true, does not prove treaohery.
But the escape from the charge of treachery
is in a confession of inoompetency to which,
indeed, we have heretofore been disposed to
assign most of the extraordinary circum
stances connected with the siege and the
surrender.
In the meantime, Bazaine carried on nego
tiations with the Empress and the Imperial
ists, the exact history of which will perhaps
never be fully divulged. A soore of different
versions have been published of the mission
of Bourbaki to England, and the missions of
Gen. Boyer to Versailles. It is nnneoessary
to know the particulars; it is enough that
Bazaine continued to recognize the dynasty,
and, though false to France, remained true to
the man who had made him a Marshal. He
never proclaimed the Republic; he never al
lowed the army or the citizens of Metz to
know the namea of the Provisional Govern
ment; he never annevneed any other authority
aa ruling in Paris except the purely military
authority ef General Trochu. At last he pro
posed to march his army out on parole not to
fight against Prussia again during this war,
and lead them into Paris there to "protect"
the Legislative Chamber until it should esta
blish a permanent government in place of
the "mob" now controlling affairs. This
proposal Bazaine himself acknowledges that
he made, and it was not carried oat only be
cause Ton Moltke would not consent to it.
The previsions being nearly exhausted, the
horses gone, and relief hopeless, he had then
ao alternative but surrender.
Now we think it will be difficult for any
to read thia story without the oonviction that
Bazaine fully expected, by keeping an army
of 175,000 men intact and well fed while the
Prussians overran the rest of the country, to
find himself virtually dictator of the political
situation. He probably calculated upon a
radical uprising in Paris, and made little
doubt that the Geraaana, rather than face the
danger of republican infection, would allow
him to intervene at the last moment, and re
store the Empire. The loas of Aliace and
Lorraine would be charged to the iaoom po
tency of the Government of the National De
fense. What aort of "protection" would be
held over the Chamber by the Imperial Mar
shal and the German Generals
aetiif ia concert, our readers
can eaaily divine. The Prussia strate
gist waa too wary te listen te the Marshal's
proposal. He knew that whatever Bazilue
night promise, it would be impossible t)
trust hia men; and to suffer the army from
Meta to aet ont for Paris would only be to
swell the namber of the frano tireurs with
deserters, who would drop from the ranka at
every atep, and to reinforce the garrison of
Paris with thousands of well-armed troops,
who would revolt from their cooauiander as
soon aa they learned the purpose for which
they had been soli. It was a fitting punish
ment for Bazaine'a purpose that he ahoutd be
forced at last into oae of the most shameful
capitulations recorded ia hktory, and, ia
atead of becoming the dictator of his coun
try's, destiniea should be the one of all
Frenchmen set even excepting Napoleon
whom Fraaee sew most despises and hate.
REMEDIES FOR ABUSES IN R1ILR01D
MANAGEMENT,
m thK. T. Tint.
The amendment to the Conetitntion of
Michigan by which railroad tariffs for freight
and passengers are made subject to legisla
tive control, ia one of many signs of popular
Impatience in regard to the exercise of power
liy great corporations. Valuable privileges are
sought, and thea are used disadvantageous!
to the people whose representatives nave
granted them. The local interests of a State
are injured by business organizationa which
it baa created; enterprises sanctioned nnder a
belief that they are to operate beneficially,
are ao manipulated that they prejudice what
their promoters professed to help. The gene
ral tendency of railroad management ia to
produce this result. Through trafno takes
the precedence of local, and is carried on
more advantageous terms, passengers pay
lesB, relatively, for long routes than for short
onca. Competing lines are bought up, and
monopolies become masters of the aitnatioa.
These are some of the evils which the Michi
gan amendment ia intended to correct; and
they are evils from which almost every State
suffers in a greater or less degree.
Whether looal legislation may be relied
upon to correct them is, however, a question
to which experience does not furnish a very
satisfactory answer. The Legislatures are
far from immaculate. The lobby has become
a power, which the money and patronage of
railroad companies easily explain. They take
possession, literally, of the members, aud
bribe them to enact any law which corporate
convenience seems to require. The Erie hw
exemplified both the extent of this influence,
and the nses to which it is applied, more
shamelessly than any other corporation,
but it is far from being alone in its
infamy. Nor is our Legislature ex
ceptional in its corruption. Harrisbnrg
is riot mary degrees removed in rascality
from Albany. The movement for a conven
tion to attend the Pennsylvania Constitution
deiives most of its force from the audacity
with which members of the Legislature sell
their votes, and the power whioh corporations
hove thus acquired for purposes at variance
with the publio weal. Similar examples
tuiht be drawn from other States all telling
a tale well calculated to shake confidence in
the efficacy ol the means to be employed in
Michigan to arrest the present tendencies in
railroad management.
The universality of the grievances eom
plaited of, and the unsatisfactory results of
reliance upon remedial action of a looal
character, are circumstances which suggest
the desirableness of Federal legislation on
the general railroad question. Railroad
charges and management so directly affect
the industrial and commercial interests of
communities that rigid aud honest super
vision is indispensable. Producers and coa
Biiuicrp, East and West, have a common con
cern in the cost of transportation, in the ex
tcnuioa of facilities, and in a management
which realizes responsibility to the public, as
well as the desire for profit on the part of
stockholders. The drift of things is, how
over, altogether the other way. Railroad
companies are the masters ofjthe community
instead of its servants. They stifle competi
tion, disregard local wants, and by amalga
mation secure arbitrary oontrol of the lead
ing avenues of trade and travel. Single rail
roads are but links in a vast chain; and a few
combinations ere rapidly acquiring a supre
macy which bodes no good to the future of
our internal commerce. A little arrange
ment among themselves will soon enable
them to charge what they please, to run the
lines as they please, and to Bet local protesta
tions at defiance.
If an adequate remedy is ever to be ap
plied, it must coma from Congress. There
are careful observers who profess to see in the
distance the development of influences which
will enable combined railroad companies to
dictate -Federal laws as effectually as Fisk,
Jr., now dictates the course of Governor
Hoffman and his party at Albany. But that
stage has not been reached, and never will
be if the country can be induced to exact
timely interference to check the progress of
railroad consolidation and monopoly, and to
enforce conditions that are essential to the
protection 01 public interests. The con
stitutional right of Congress to
do this may have been doubt
ful so long as railroads were limited to
the States under whose laws they were
severally organized. But State boundaries
are no longer respected in railroad construc
tion or management, and State jurisdiction,
therefore, no longer suffices to regulate the
leading roads. The conflict of jurisdiction
ts in itself an evil, to be remedied if possible.
And when a line runs through three States,
and combined tines run across half the conti
nent, there is a necessity for checks and gua
rantees which no one State can enforce. The
authority by virtue of which Congress regu
late the commerce of the lakes and navi
gable rivers, is alone equal to the proper
regulation of the enormous trafilo between
the States over which railroad combinations
now exercise almost unchecked oontrol.
THE MUDDLE AMONG THE REPUBLI
CAN POLITICIANS.
Vrem the A'. J'. Herald.
When Napoleon aet out in July for Berlin
he little thought that he would "fetch up" i
September at Sedan. So our self-conoeited
politicians, with their Napoleonic ideas, are
always getting into trouble. Senator Sumner
belongs to this elasi. On his present lectur
ing tour out West he haa been "interviewed'
by an expert reporter, and haa availed him
self of the opportunity to define his position
in reference to General Grant. The Senator
"baa no doubt that General Grant ia an hon
est man and adminislera the government the
best that he knows how." "He haa had the
best chance conceivable to do great things,"
"but he don t know everything, and, unfor
tnnately, he don't know that he don't know it,
Now, Zach Taylor," continued the learned
Senator, "waa not a brilliant man or a states
man, but he knew it and aurroanded himself
by men who made up his deficiencies." Here,
then, the eld proverb will apply, "The fool
thinKetn mniseli a wise man, but the wise
man knoweth himself to be a fool." Thia,
as near aa we can make it ont, ia Sumner's
parallel between Grant and Taylor.
It further appeara that Mr. Sumner ia of
the opinion that the St. Domingo annexation
treaty, with numerous lota staked off along
Samana Bay and marked "Cazeneau" and
"Babcock" and "Baez," with one er two par
ticularly large onea marked "Grant," "was a
bad business;" that Minister Motley, intensely
American and a first-rate diplomat, who, after
the fashion of Caleb Gushing, wrote out his
wn instructions, has been removed ou the
Senator' account, for that General Grant's
"personal feeling is very bitter in that direc
tion. This, too, with Motley s eulogium on
Grant embodied in Badeau'a Life of the
General, and when Secretary Fish jumped at
the plan of Motley wriung ais own lnstrue
tions. Worst of all evidently ia Mr. Samner'a
estimation, "Grant's administration seems to
go too much by personal preferences." To
aum up these views of the disappointed Sena
tor in plain terms, he thinks that General
Grant la an honest man, but a fool; that he i
doieer the best be ean, but la doing every
thing wrong; that he was up to hia eara in
tke St. lomingo speculation; that Motley
was recalled Ltcanee his mend bumuer op
pof d and defeated the treaty in the Senate,
and that General Grant in his appointments
prefera hia friends to hi enemies.
But what does all this amount to f It is
but the ringiag of the changes in the same old
atory whioh self-oonoeited, soured and disap-
Jointed politicians have raised against every
resident from Washington down. We do
not remember that Mr. Sumner had any better
opinion of Linoeln in the White House than
he has of Grant, and, if we are not mistaken,
he was completely taken in at first by Andy
Johnson. The Senator's opinions, therefore,
of General Grant are of little consequenoe,
especially while "Motley is hia only wear."
But he takes a very shallow view of that St.
Domingo treaty. What did it signify if a few
speculators on the ground had staked off
certain lots on Samana Bay, marking among
them some for General Grant, if you please ?
What did that bagatelle of an Objeotion
amount to when the treaty for some two mil
lions of money would give as a tropical island
worth forty North Pole Alaskas? Yet we
know that Mr. Sumner warmly supported the
Russian treaty, although numerous lobby
birds shared at least the two hundred thou
sand over and above the seven millions in
gold paid for Alaska.
Mr. Sumner, however, is not the only wise
man of the East or of the West who has dis
covered that General Grant has no sense and
is driving his administration and his party to
the dogs. Senator l enton, Binoe the appoint
ment of honest Tom Murphy as our Collec
tor, is of the same mind as Sumner. We have
seen, too, that according to our amiable poets
of the Pott nothing has gone right with Gene
ral Grant since the appointment of General
Sickles to Madrid. Nor havo we forgotten the
fearful rumpus raised among the Pennsylvania
party wirepullers when the kind-hearted Mr.
Borie was made Secietary of the Navy. They
could not see that the President was in this
Appointment paying a neat compliment to the
Presbyterian Church (Via School) and our
American citizens of French desoent kill
ing, you may say, two birds with one stone.
Aa for Carl beburz, of Missouri, he is of the
go-ahead school of George Francis Train, and
doubtless thinks that if he ia not President
he ought to be, and that General Grant waa
too presuming in acting in his Missouri ap
pointments upon his own judgment. Schurz,
alter bis late services to the Democrats in
Missouri, called the other day, it appears, to
report progress at the White House, but
General Grant was engaged. We infer that
Schurz is more concerned about Grant than
Grant is about Schurz. Ever since that tre
mendous retreat of Schurz at Chaacellors
ville we have thought that in tactics and
strategy he is hardly equal to Grant.
I'ar ahead, however, of all these other Ke
pnblican free shooters (Der FreischuU) is
the bold, dashing, and slashing fellow of the
Chicago Tribune. Convinced, by hook or by
crook, that free soil, free speech, a free press
and free men are dead issues, and that the
time has come for free trade or revenue re
form or cheap salt, or something of that sort,
he has tried the experiment of moving the
Republican party in this direction in a balloon
(giving General Grant the cold shoulder), and
starting at Chicago. In this enterprise John
Wentwoitb, known as "Long John, standing
six feet in his stockings, was brought out as
an independent Republican candidate in the
(Jhicato district; but as "Long John came
out short in the election the 1'ribune is tack
ing about to see how the land lies before
heading again for "Cowes and a market."
lbey do things on the Inland seas and bound
less prairies of the West on a grand style;
they nominate Presidents at Chicago and raf
fle off opera houses there; but the headquar
ters of the party in power are at Washington,
and General Grant is the head of the party
and the party newspapers, and the fussy party
politicians are the tail of the kite.
Sixth and lastly, the captain of the ship
must be recognized as captain by his crew or
the ship will be apt to fall into the hands of
the Key West wreckers in attempting to run
the Gulf Stream. When there are half a
dozen or more would-be captains on board
mutiny and confusion follow, and the ship
may be easily boarded and captured by the
enemy, or all hands with the sinking hulk may
be turned adrift. These wrangling and clashing
leaders and organs ef the Republican party are
in a fair way to bring the administration and
themselves among the breakers. They would
imitate the fool in the fable who killed the
goose that laid his golden eggs; they would
play their game of Andy Johnson with Gene
ralGrant, forgetting that in the next Con
gress Grant, with his veto, will be master of
the field. They forget, above all things, that
General Grant saved the party in 1808, that he
haa saved it in 1870, in spite of its feuds and
party squabbles, and is the only power that
can save it in 1872 against the terrifio flying
artillery, "big Indiana" and mitrailleuses of
Tammany Hall.
