Wben the present war bgm. the French
regular nrinjr was composed t '. regiments of
Guards, KM) regiments of th line, II of
Zouaves, L'O of chasseurs, 1 of foreigtier, :
of TnrcoR, and 3 battalions of light infantry.
Of these, there- are at present " regiments aul
'A battalious in AlgeiTa, and 1 regiments have
lately arrived in France from li juis. There
are alpo pnrts of the other regiments retmia
ing which were at depots, aud which have
Bince been consolidated or form the nucleus
of new regiments. All the rest, tint is to sy,
all the rcrmlar troops which took the field,
are prisoners. Much as wo have been im
pressed with the great disasters of Sedan and
Metz, it still seems inconceivable that of all
the militniy units composing the French
army which took the field not one remains
unsurrendered. The most renowned army of
the world has passed completely under a
foreign yoke.
Surely we should be able to draw from a
lesson ho tremendous something of value f?r
our own future guidance; and America is not
wanting in philosophers who are quick to dis
cover the warning there is for us in the fate
of France. First in the field is the peace
party, advocating an immediate and universal
disarmament; the Women's Rights advocates,
under the lead of Mrs. Howe, follow next:
and we have a woman's convention suggested
in which such mighty resolutions are to be
given forth that armies with banners are to
pause in their courses. King William is to go
back to Berlin, and pass his days in ordering
his household, and Von Moltke shall return to
till his fields. America, unhindered by for
eign jealousies, is to pursue that path of
greatness which needs only perpetual peace
to be sure.
Turning from the dreams of theorists to
the world as we find it, we discover that the
real lesson for us in the overthrow of France
is not that we should abolish armies, but that
we should increase the efficiency of those we
have. England aoted upon that lesson with
great promptness; and her Government work
shops were applying it long before Metz sur
rendered. Other European nations have
perhaps been less prompt in bending their
energies to a new scrutiny of their military
organizations, but in goneral their habit is
to profit both by the successes and the de
feats of their neighbors.
There is a general fondness in this coun
try for talking of our "unbounded re
sources." This war teaches us that the larg
est means quickly find a limit if they are dis
organized, ani that a powerful nation may be
helpless if it is unprepared. We are very far
from being emasculated like France. We
have our peace men and our . peaoe women;
but when the war comes on our Quakers fight
and our women embroider the banners, yes,
and urge the young men on to the field. We
have no desire to qaarrel with our neighbors;
but a war will always be popular if we are at
tacked. All this martial energy is valuable if
trained next to worthless if it is untrained,
and we have an active enemy. It is not
pleasant to think it; but what would have
been our fate in the Rebellion if we had had
an enemy as prepared and energetic as Prus
sia ? It is true that our geographical posi
non, wim uanaua on tne norm, aiexlco on
the south, and our own coast on each side of
us, is immensely in our favor. It is true
that our policy in never interfering in" the
aft' airs of other nations, and allowing none to
meddle in ours, is a policy that all our neigh
bors agree to with apparent heartiness. 13at
for all that wo have wars, and it is our busi
ness to carry them on successfully, creditably,
ana cnespiy.
The backbone of a oonnlry is the character
of its population; train this, and your army
is ready. The experience of Europe and of
ourselves, botn in former and in recent times,
shows that this training is not so hard a mat
ter. It would be dim cult to introduce here
a syBtem like that of Prussia, taking men
from their business affairs, subjecting the
citizens to disagreeable burdens of duty to
tne Mate, nut at xoast we can do some
thing like what England is doing. We have
our volunteers, and the power of the Presi
dent is ample in time of danger. Make our
Xsationnl Guard a trained body trained not
merely in the ' soldier's step, bat in
some of the real work of the sol
dier; and when we have a war, we can do
more in three months of preparation than we
did in the whole of 18G1. If we. cannot have
a few weeks of real field work every year, as
Prussia has, we can at least give point and
interest to our existing National Guard, by
encouraging tne use of arms and giving
stimulus to military feeling. Congress can
with great propriety, and, in our opinion.
with a very successful result, offer prizes to
Mharpshooters, the trials to take place under
the direction of Army offioers. A vary small
sum spent in this way would produce much
greater results than those believe who
think that the American is utterly absorbed
in making money. The little experience
we had at Clifton, New Jersey, proved that
competitive target practice interests a great
many persons, btimulateu by a small reward.
there would be an immense amount of prac
tice a'l through the year, which in five years
would bear the best fruit. Ten thousand
dollars spent in prizes in various parts of the
country would induce the expenditure of ten
times that sum by the people for the purpose
of practising. It is not the men who wis the
prizes that are alone valuable to the country
in war time, but the much greater number
who have failed. Those too have had instruc
tion in one of the vital duties of the soldier;
and in a country where the bounties and pen
sions are bo high as here, the difference of
the result in one day's fighting would repay
all the country had spent in this sort of pre
paration for a generation.
THE RICKETY CONDITION ' OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTI".
From tht S. 1'. Herald.
From the results of the late election
the rejoiciDg Democracy are beginning to
fount their chickens of the next Presidential
hatching. If they only hold the States they
have cairied since 1 808 the game is in their
hands. And why not ? Behold the rickety
condition of the Republican party ! Mark
how it is cut up, distracted, and demoralized
by sie'e issues, disappointed office-seekers,
and ambitious leaders bolting from the ad
ministration. Sumner, the pretentious Sum
ner, evidently regards General Grant a failure
of the class of Andy Johnson; Fenton, it
is clear, on account of honest Tom Mur
phy (Mordecai in the king's gate), is re
solved upon a great revenge; the poets
of the New York Etening Post have
lost all faith in the administration and are
Lot upon the new party trail of free trade,
while Greeley will have nothing abort of a
stout protective tariff; Cox, of Ohio, they
ay, is rip for a revolt; Trumbull, of Illinois,
is named as a chnp salt and free wool new
party aspirnnt for the snocoRsion; Gratz
Brown and Curl Scburz in their bolt on uni
versal amnesty and "revenue reform" have
irevolulionized Missouri beyond recovery;
blundciing rmlical leaders have thrown away
to the Ku-Klnx Klan North Carolina, Ala
bama, and Tennessee; negro sufl'rage has
failed to Hhake the Democracy in Delaware,
Maryland, or Kentucky; and lastly, has not
Wendell Phillips prououneod the mission of
the Republicnu party accomplished, and the
organization broken up V
Have we not here, in all those rebellious
elements, the materinls for a new party on
"revenue reform" which will carry away
from General Grant the left wing of his
niuiy, and carry in the Democratia ticket ?
Do we not see from the Democratic journals
that Grant is a failure and a humbug of the
first water a greater failure than Louis Napo
leon an ignoramus who hardly knows his
riabt hand from his left; a King Log, with
whom the thinking men of his party have
become disgusted; a small, peddling poli
tician; or a sort of horse jockey, whose real
policy is limited to the juanipnl ition of his
gangs of office-holders to secure the next Re
publican Convention, and to the employment
of the United States army to secure his re
election? Are not the Democracy satisfied
from this, their estimate of General Grant,
that his popularity is gone, that he is com
pletely used up; that lcksburg and Appo
mattox Court House will no longer serve
him, and that, reinforced by the "revenue
reform-' Republicans and disappointed office-
seekers and other deserters from Gr.ut,
the Democracy, looking at the late elections,
will in 18( 2 walk over the course and leave
Grant perfectly free to retire to his lanyard
at Galena or to his farm in Missouri, or to
his Jersey ''cottage by the sea ?"
Granting all the premises in this budget of
Republican blunders, we must accept these
couclnsionsbut the premises arejjtoo sweep
ing. The late elections in reference to 1S72
really mean nothing, except that the two
parties remain substantially as they were in
every State where a square nght has this year
been made. Nor have these bolters against
General Grant any issue upon which they can
fight him under a new party organization.
"Revenue reform is a hollow device, which
means in the East a squabble between im
porters of drygood3and hardware and home
manufacturers of the same materials. Ihe
importers want the duties on imported goods
removed or reduced so that they can get them
cheaper to sell again, and the homo manu
facturers want the existing duties increased
or retained in order that they may get good
prices for their wares. Out West, where fac
tories of dry goods and hardware are few,
and where the consumers embrace nearly the
whole population, freo trade or the modidca
tion of "revenue reform" means something;
but the "reform" which would satisfy the ex
tremists of the West and Southwest, as the
programme of either party, would alienate
the East, from Pennsylvania to Maine, and
all the districts embracing the rising manu
facturing establishments of the South, from
the James river to the Alabama.
In truth, however, the attempt to organize
an independent "revenue reform" party has
failed with the proclamation of th? idea. It
has not made even the respectable show of
Andy Johnson's independent Philadelphia
Convention Conservative party of 1800. The
"revenue reform journals concerned in the
movement have come to a parley on finding
that they could not swallow the Democratic
parly, but that the Democratic party must
swallow thorn, and so this new Dartv is au
abortion. Then with regard to General Grant
and his administration. From the universal
hue and cry of the Democratic organs against
him, it is manifest that they fully comprehend
the fact that while he blocks the way their
prospects for 1872 are very slim. Hence the
efforts along the whole Democratic line to
remove Grant or to weaken his position as
the Republican candidate. It is an old trick,
but it has never succeeded against a truly
popular President; and so it will fail against
Grant. From present indications he is sure
of the Republican nomination by the unani
mous vote of the convention of 1872, and
there is nothing in the political situation to
indicate that he will be defeated before the
people. The people are satisfied that he is an
honest President, and that he has done creat
things in correcting abuses, in saving money
upon reduced taxations, and in the work of
reducing the national debt. The country, it
is true, expects something more than this,
but it will suffice for the present that
General Grant's administration stands in
dorsed by the country in the elections for the
next Congress.
The Republican party is in a sickly con
dition, nevertheless; but those small crabs,
the fiddlers, will frolic at dead low water. Nor
is the Democratic party, as it stands, prepared
for the Presidential battle. It has no plat
form, except that of hostility to General
Grant and the party in power; no recognized
generalissimo, no plan of operations beyond
that of trusting to luck, and no idea of the
Presidential battle beyond the hops that
"something may turn up" from Tammany
Hall that there is something in Tammany
and in her active eash capital and political
machinery.
And here we begin to see something of the
character and elements of the coming Presi
dential contest. We see that the great rail
way corporations are a positive political
power; that the central forces of this power
are in New York, and that they are in the
hands of Tammany Hall. The Western Union
Telegraph monopoly is fast becoming another
positive political power, and it is fairly within
reach of the same party influences as our
leading railway corporations. These forces,
railway and telegraphic, under the manipula
tions of Tammany, may neutralize the national
banks and bondholders on the other side, and
may otherwise seriously demoralise the finan
cial machinery of the Republican puty.
We expect these finanoial party disturb
ances in the fight of 1872; we look for con
tinued gains to the Democracy South from
the negro vote, as the laboring blacks are
more and more drawn over to their common
interests with their white employers, the
Southern landholders. From the industrial
relations between laborer and planter it is
probable that by the year 1870 something like
the old Southern Democratic balance of
power will be restored; and it is also probable
that by the year 1870, upon the tariff and
other questions of revenue and taxation, the
Democrats will be in a position that will give
them valuable gains iu the West. In short,
while the prospects for 1872 are still deoidedly
in favor of General Grant, the prospeot for
1876 is as clearly in favor of the Democratic
Sarty and its candidate, Hoffmao, Smith,
ones or Brow n.
In these estimates we have considered only
the present political situation and our domes
tic aii'airs in referenoe to the future. But in
the interval to 1872 some new issue in our
foreign relations may be brought into the
foreground, and as General Grant is iMil
field for another term, it
upon any other issue lie
is t ot likely that
will overlook the
En l)lio sent iment ot tne country. From some
in is thrown out by General l utler, it is pos
sible that General Grait las "a rod in
pickle" for England which, in its application,
will revolutionize even the city of New York.
If so, we may have something iike the una
nimous re-election of Monroe in the re-eleo-tlon
of Grant, and then, in the break-up of
the dominant party, we may have a regular
scrub race in 1870, like that of 1824.
JENKINS AT A MURDER TRIAL.
From tht. S. 1. Tribune.
We thonght we were noqnaintel with Jen
kins. In all of his doublings aul devices,
his back-door gossips and keyhohi peeping,
the well-worn rags of poetry and tattered
quotations which he was wont to flutter in
our eyes, bis is the best known of all the
tedious familiar figures of the newspaper
world, before which he stands, something
like the clown in the circus, to tempt the
rabble in. We had grown too used to his
practices lately to heed them; watohed him.
without Furprise, dodge after princes and
Presidents, brides and murderers, run on the
trail of a pure woman's reputation, and toar
it to nieces as a doc the hare. But a feat of
his at the recent trial of the barber II talon,
in Fhi'ndelphia, we confess hai moved
us to wonder and admiration. He has out
Hugoed Hugo; the powers of fine writing
can no further go. The peculiarly sensa
tional facts of the case mny have had their
influence; the consideration of rape, murder,
blood money offered in open court, all at
once seems to have affected our reporter as
would absinthe or hashisch. He wildly
seizes his pen and proceeds to convert the
dirty court -room iuto a scene in Hade3,
makes a demon out ot the wretched prisoner,
and puts the respectable merchants and
grocers who constitute the jury cheek by
jowl with the Archangel Michael.
"Into the face of the Omnipotent these
gentlemen," he tells us, "since the momont
of their return to the court-room, did not
cease to look. The dread stillness of the
place inteusified. A bright ray of sunshine
shone upon the face of the prisoner. The
floating dust revolved like a large squirrel
cafce. As by a torch lighting up a dark cor
ner of Hades, Ilanlon's face was lit up. Such
aw aiting for the verdict was never equalled
outside the pages of the savant Walter Scott.
Guilty! said Mr. Judah Hart, with eyes that
streamed with tears. Guilty! said Mr.'Wiu
Lenny, and, though God had chosen him for
Lis Nemesis, Mr. Winpenny made rendition of
the verdict with eyes unused to public tears."
Hardly have we recovered from the shock of
considering the respectable Mr. Winpenny in
his new role of IVeuifcKis, than we are called
upon to ueLold the lion, lirowster bullying
sn infnnt nnd trampling upon the excoriated
and still bleeding heart of a widowed mother,
but are speedily relieved by being assured
that "Omnipotence, in the shape of Deteo
lives Joshua Taggart and Geo. Smith, check
mated him at every step. Philadelphiaus
have a weakness for hereditary distinction,
but the tamily 01 this wietcaeu barber, one
would naturally suppose, would be occupied
at such a moment with other considerations
than heraldic pride: but we learn that they
were busy in cleaning "from their escutcheon
the shadow of the gallows tree." After the
verdict was rendered, the barber himself itn
mediately assumed the appearance of certain
monsters known to Bunyan and Robert Dale
Owen, and "also of the Cyclops, though not
in physique. "Life, for him, had parted
with most of its romance," which we think is
very likely. The sun moved its sheen, con
siderately, so as to eleposit a halo on the brow
of eoch individual juror, as "though Justice
had placed on each a coronal of gold." "The
tableau was remarkably dramatic," we are
told, and we have no doubt of it. Onr neigh
bors must be as successful in their court-room
spectacular effects as Fisk with his whirling
legs and tulle and red lights.
Seriously, we call attention to this petty
matter not to laugh at it; but because it is a
sign of a great and growing evil among us.
Hanlon's ; trial deserved attention from all
thoughtful men. He was either an innocent
man trapped and done to death by a gang of
detectives and convicts, -whose price of blood
money and pardons was insured to them by
a system peculiar, we hope, to Philadelphia
practice, or, if guilty, his case, and that of
others similar to his, call for earnest and
zealous consideration of both physicians and
Christians. If guilty, he was a moral maniac
a creature cast in the shape of a man, but
in whose nature bestial passions had
at birth hopelessly overpowered any counter
actirjc elements of humanity. How far such
men are to be hold responsible, whether they
are pane or insane, is a problem which de
msnds our attention more than any other.
But crime, instead of being regarded as the
fatal disease of the body politic, which oalls
for treatment by all the wisdom and skill
among us, is handed over now as a subject
fit only for the reporter to play fantastic
tricks over, and with which he may amuse
and debase a gaping crowd.
It is useless, we know: to either jeer at or
to censure the degraded idea of journalism
which moulds and shapes many of the minor
newspapers, the most revolting expression of
which is the treatment of the daily reporters
of subjects both grave and terrible, which
stould never reach the public eye. The men
write as Harlequin dances, because they must
live, end because the publio prefer such
writing and such dancing to better things. It
is not Harlequin nor his compeers in the
literary world, then, on whom we should lay
the guilt or the responsibility.
THE NEW JERSEY SENATORSIIIP.
From tht X. Y. Sun.
There is a serene joy in the clory of a poli
tical triumph; and if its fruits could be dis
tributed with such wise discretion as to leave
no heartburnings among the victors, how de
lightful 11 would be : liut there is a worm
at fbe root of every human plant, and the
Uurel of victory ever pales its lustre beneath
the insidious workings of the worms of
jealousy and envy.
uur xtepuuiican neighbors over tne river
have just been rejoicing, even "with joy and
singing, over iurh a political suooesa as is
seldom vouchsafed to them in that State of con-
firmedPc-mocratio ideas and prejudices. But
already there are signs of the presenoe of that
insidious loe wuicu eauisea laureis 10 witner.
and brings a Might upon the most exuberant
vegetation. Ice wnoie btate, from (Sussex
to Cape May, is agitated over the question.
Yho shall be United states Senator ? The
aw md of Palis that gave the golden apple to
the fat-cinating Venus brought suoh misohief
through the machinations of the despised and
rejected divinities, that it set a captured city
in flames, and involved its people in an Iliad
of woec. Let us hope that the Legislative
Taris. in awarding this golden apple of the
Benatorship, not indeed to the handsomest.
but to the most worthy, may not brine; upon
the Republican citadel of New Jersey any
Buth calamity. No doubt there are Copper
bead Cassandraa of the male sex who, like
.the lrojau prophetess, because (ueir ears
have been licked by serpents," suppose they
have the gift of foretelling future events,
and who are already filling the air with pre
dictions of Republican diiaster. May the
New Jersey Legislature be so governed by
wisdom in their election as to avoid those
dissensions and exasperations tbatare always
pregnant with ruin to a party organization.
To do thin, their choice should fall upon a
man who Btands high in the publio regard,
who towers above his fellows, and is of such
commanding intellectual presence that the
mere announcement of his selection will si
lence the mutteriDgs of discontent and still
the heartburnings of jealousy. The Repub
lican party has such men, and in the selection
of either Mr. tTeiinghujsen or Mr. uort
landt Parker will fulfill to its fullest incisure
this duty. The Senate is no place for illi
terate retired manufacturers, whose only
claim upou their party appears to be in the
weight of their money bags, and who seem to
be selected as the Great Mogul soleoted lis
prime ministers, by the mctallio weight
of their purses. Sancho Panza thought
he could govern an islaud un
til he tried'' it, and then he was fain
to retire with the wise proverb on his lips,
that "no man should stretch his feet beyond
his sheet." Lord Chesterfield somewhere re
marks "that men are uot nudo ridiculous
from their real, but from their affected cha
racter." A humpback is only ridiculous under
a nee coct, and a limited, uncultivated intel
lect, when it essays to pnt itself in mortifying
contrast with lof tier intelligences. The De
mocratic party in New Jersey years ago' male
itself superlatively ridiculous when it sent to
the Senate a man whose only wealth consisted
in the mere accumulations of years of honest
toil, and whose lack of education and culture
was only made more patent by being brought
into direct comparison with the brightest in
tellects of the age.
Both the gentlemen we have named as
worthy of Senatorial honors have reached the
highest honors of a profession whicn tasks
the understanding and develops the mental
faculties to the highest degree. Thay have
both been long nnd prominently before the
publio in the political affairs of the State, and
are both acknowledged by public acclaim to
be able and eloquent exponents of tho politi
cal creed of the party that has now secured
the ascendancy in the Legislature. They are
bolh prompt and vigorous debaters, aul
familiar with the duties of a Senator. One
of them has already served with distinction
in the national councils, and has been thought
worthy to fill tho highest diplomatic position
abroad. Both are refined and cultivated
gentlemen, adorned with all the gentle cour
tes'es of life.
It really appears to us. looking at tho whole
eiuehtion with an houest regard for the repu
tetion both of the imtion and the State, that
out of all the candidates namod the legisla
tive choice should fall upon one of these two
pentlemen. 'Ihe Republicans of the New
Jersey Legislature may rest assured that it is
only such a selection as this that can avoid
the exasperations of envy and jealousy sure
to arise upon the selection 01 interior men
The force of the general publio aooord iu the
eminent fitness ot the choice always over
whelms and crushes out of sight the evil
spirits that might- be disposed to create dis
sension and disorder.
