MONDAY, JANUARY 80, 1371.
X2T The Evening Telegraph, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Tost,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. Last March we entered
Into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North American, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South ; and hereafter
The Telegraph will be the only evening
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
UT The earliest regular edition of The
Evening Telegraph goes to press at lj
o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2, 3 J, and 4 J. Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be issued after
this honr, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
THE FALL OF PA II 18.
Paris has fallen, and, leaving all sentimental
ism out of the questiou, just men of all
nations will declare that her fate is deserved.
For years this city has bevn a hot-bed of the
most seductive vice and immorality, and the
rank corruption that the imporial system has
fostered, and by which it happily fell, we
hope for .ver, has shamed the civilization of the
age until all men and women who have any
respect for decency, not to speak of roligion,
feel that nothing but some terrible disastor,
suoh as has overtaken her, could make her
people feel what their real degradation was.
That Paris should make a determined resist
ance was no more than was to be ezpocteds
for the valor of her citizens none doubted;
but it cannot be said that the siege has been
a rem tikable exhibition of heroism on the
part of the people of the city, for many towns
bave suffered more and have held out longer.
It ia a matter for congratulation, however,
that the capitulation has taken place before
the work of destruction has been carried to
extreme lengths, and Paris now, although
sadly defaced, still retains intact her most
beautiful publio edifices, historical monu
ments, and noble collections of art. These
are things the world cannot afford to lose, and
we are profoundly thankful that the German
guns bave been allowed to spare them. The
fall of Paris, even more than any previous
calamity of the war, will be an affliction that
the French people will find it hard to bear;
and it certainly ought to convince them of the
utter uselessness of further continuing a
struggle in which they can gain nothing but
defeat and humiliation. The terms granted
by the Germans are, under all the oiroum
wtances, not ungenerous; and the
National Assembly whioh the terms
of capitulation provide for will,
if it is composed of really patriotio men,
effect a peace oven if it has to surrender the
territory that the Germans demand, and pay
thorn an indemnity for the sacrifices they
have made in a war forood upon them by
French ambition. The fall of Paris was a
necessary prelude to negotiations for peaae,
and now that the great city is prostrate at the
feet of the Germans, the last scenes of the
most remarkable contlict of modern times
bhould be near at hand.
TUB ACQUITTAL OF DR. NEVILLE.
Thk trial of Dr. W. II. II. Neville, on the
charge of infanticide, which resulted on Sat
urday last in the complete vindication of the
accused, was certainly one of the most re
markable that has ever occurred. The testi
mony brought forward by the prosecution
was so direct and conclusive that it would un
doubtedly have secned the condemnation of
the un'ucky physician, if he had not been
able to prove an alibi bo clsurly that the
District Attorney and the Judges were obliged
to unite in demanding a verdict of not guilty.
Dr. Neville, by a most fortunate circum
stance, was able to show his whereabouts for
several hours before and after the time at
which the witnesses for the Commonwealth
said the crime was committed, and to prove,
beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it was
impossible that he should bave been the guilty
party. He is therefore entitled to
the sinoere congratulations of his fellow-citi
7ens npon the emphatio vindication of his
Character, anoto their sympathy for the suf
ferings he has endured by a long and nnde
.'.ewl ii-iuissiuicat, a-.d all tia otker laj-j-
ries that have resulted from the false aocima.
tion put upon him. It wai certainly a
grievous wrong that Dr. Neville should not
have been allowed to establish his innocence
weeks ago, and it is not to be wondered at
that he should be disposed to blame the Dis
trict Attorney; but no impartial person who
understands the facts of the oase, and
the imperfect workings of or system
of criminal jurisprudence, will be able to
accuse Mr. Sheppard of having failed in his
duty in the matter. The wrong done to Dr.
Neville resulted from the imperfections of the
law, and not from any neglect on th part of
tbe District Attorney, who, we believe, en
deavored to bring the case to trial at as early
a day as possible. It is of course but a poor
consolation to Dr. Neville to know that he
baa been the victim of imperfeot laws, but
any citizen is liable to suffer as he has done,
aud no legal code that could be devised by
human wisdom would be able to prevent in
.nooent men from being accused of crime or
of enduring the consequences of such accu
sation. In alluding to this case we cannot avoid
mentioning one very remarkable circum
stance connected with it, and that is the
brntal behavior of 'the principal witnesses
for the Commonwealth. These women wero
willing to swear positively that Dr. Neville
was the man who threw a box containing a
living child into Cohocksink creek, and yet
they acknowledged that when the child was
rescued alive from the water they took no
measures whatever to preserve it, but allowed
it to remain exposed in the yard of their
dwelling for several hours while they
went on with their work, as if it
were a thing of no consequence. The con
duct of all connected with the finding of the
child was most extraordinary, and while Dr.
Neville was acquitted, the principal witnesses
against him are convicted before the commu
nity by their own testimony of gross brutality,
to say the least that can be said in regard to
them.
It is sincerely to be hoped that efforts will
still be made to discover who the guilty per
son or persons were in this affair, and to
bring them to justice. This much at least
the officers of the law owe to an outraged
community and to an innocent unn, who has
suffered in pocket and reputation for a crime
that he certainly did not commit.
PA YIN (! MIOAD STREET.
We do not object to the construction of a
wooden pavement on Broad street at the ex
pense of the city, but if this point is to be
conceded, tax-payers have an undoubted
right to expect and demand that this work
will be completed at the smallest possible
cost. We are therefore pained to hoar
rumors that there is great danger that Phila
delphians are about to be mulcted, not
merely in money enough to construct the
proposed pavement, but in a snm
sufficiently largo to enrich a ring
of contractors. It is alleged
that the proprietors of several antagonists
pavement patents, who have been loudly de
claring during the last few years that when
ever the opportunity offered they would take
the contract for paving Broad street at bare
cost, have recently effected a combination
whereby ttey propose to divide the work of
laying the pavement, and to demand for eaoh
seotion of it about twice as much money as it
is intrinsica'ly worth. It is also said to be
part of this scheme to hasten an appropria
tion by Councils by the threat that the
Legislature will create a street-paving
commission, and direct or compel
Councils to make the desired ap
propriation. We scarcely suppose that the
egislative movement will be vigorously or
sincere'y pursued, but it was quoted at a meet
ing of the Finance Committee of Councils on
Saturday night last, with evident effect, as a
good reason why a loan of $400,000 should
be created to pava Broad street. The point
to which we wish to direot especial attention
is, th-tt if this proposed ap
propriation is not hedged round
with wise restrictions, a large portion of it
will probably be stolen. The alleged pro
gramme is that one wood pavement company
is to take the upper part of the city, while
another company takes the lower part of the
city, and each charges a price per foot twico
as large as should in justice be paid; and we
sincerely hope that Councils, in their wisdom,
patriotism, and disinterestedness, will break
np this arrangement. Why cannot thy ap
point a committee, consisting of citizens of
irreproachable character, to thoroughly inves
tigate the wholo subject of wood pavamonts,
and to insert proper restriction in the pro
posed contracts?
A REVIEW OF THE WAR.
In view of the absorbing interest which
hangs about the fall of Paris, we present
elsewhere to-cUy a complete and carefully-
prepared review of the great struggle bet ween
France and Germany, from the date of the
capitulation at Sedan to that of the fall of
Paris. The history of the earlier period of
the war was narrated at considerable length
immediately after the overthrow of the
Empire, and it is only necessary to repeat in
this connection a bare summary of the lead
ing events.
The candidature of Prince Leopold for the
vacant throne of Spain was first broached to
his colleagues by Marshal Prim on the 4th of
July, and oa thrth it first became known to
the world outside of diplomatic circles. On
the Ctb, the Due deGramout, French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, announced to the Cham
bers that under no pre text would France per
mit a German power to place one of its
princes on the throne of Charles V. Then
ensued the conferences between M. Benedetti,
the French Ambassador to Prusoia, with King
William, at Ems. On the l'Jth the withdrawal
of Prince Leopold from the candidature was
announced, and on the 1 Ith the Duo de Gra
mont acknowledged the official notification of
the withdrawal. On that occasion he said:
"The negotiations which we have been pur
suing with Prussia hate had no other object,
l-v.tt.'.ey hixewjt yet t:r?ni.uLJ." Vol, on
tbe very next day, the Duo da Gramont for
mally announced to the Senate and Corp
Legislatif the declaration of war by France
against Prussia.
On July U7 a docrao was published ap
pointing the Empress Lugsnie Begent of
France, and on the "Mth the Emperor left St.
Cloud, accompanied by the Prince Imperial,
arriving on the afternoon of the same day at
Metz, to place himself at the head of his
prinoipal army. On tho 'J of August, the
hostile forces came fac to face for the first
time at Saarbrnck, on Prussian soil, where a
large French force indulged iu cannonading
a mere handful of Germans for two hours,
the Prince Imperial exhibiting so much calm
ness during the uproar that ,lthe soldiers
wept at his tranquillity." The French having
struck the first blow and been the first to
cross the line, the army of the Crown
Prince of Prussia was at once put in
motion, and on the 4th of August it encoun
tered and defeated a portion of Marshal Mac
Mahon's army at Weissenburg. On the th
MaoMahon was again engaged at Woerth,
and, after a terrible and destructive struggle,
completely routed by the Crown Prince and
driven towards Paris. On the same day the
Prussian right, under General von Steinmetz,
advanced across the border, routing General
Frossard at Forbach, and driving him back
npon Metz. The result of these two disas
trous defeats was the overthrow of the so
called liberal ministry of Ollivier, which was
driven from power on the IHta of August, and
the formation of a reactionary min
istry under the leadership of
the Count de Palikao. Then followed a series
of terrific engagements around Metz, between
the Frenoh under Marshal Bazaine and the
Germans under Prince Frederick Charles,
commencing on the 1 Ith and culminating at
Gravelotte on the ISth. As the result, Ba
zaine was defeated in his attempt at with
drawing his army from the line of the Mo
selle and tho neighborhood of Metz, and
driven back under the guns of that fortress,
to be there held as in a vice until famine be
came the al'y of the Germans and forced
him to capitulate. MacMahon, re
treating first to the northwest and then to the
west, was followed by the victorious Crown
Prince at his leisure. At Chalons, MaoMahon
turned to the north, suffering the advunce of
the Crown Prince's army to make a threaten
ing demonstration towards liris, while he
mustered his forces near ltheims, with a view
of endeavoring to relieve Bazaiue. As soon
as his purpose was well defined, the army of
the Crown Prince was diverted from the
advance upon Paris, and, reinforced by a portion
of the army which had invested Metz, was
hurled upon MacMahon at Sedan. The French
commander started on his eastward move
ment on the 2th of August. On tha 30th, a
preliminary battle was fought at Beaumont,
and on the two succeeding days the grnd
conflict around Sedan was waged, to termi
nate on the 21 of September in tho capitula
tion of the entire French force and the sur
render of the Emperor in person.
Thus far, tbe war bad been a band-to-band
struggle in the open field, in which superi
ority in numbers and discipline had given
the Germans invariably the advanage. With
the overthrow of the Empire and the promul
gation of the Bepublio the contest was
changed into a struggle for the possession of
the cities and fortresses between tho capital
and the frontier, the interest centering at
Paris after the downfall of Strasburg and
Metz. The movements of the Army of the
Loire in the neighborhood of Orleans,
and of the Army of the
North around Amiens were all
directed with the view of molesting the
Germans in the siege of the capital; while
those ef the Army of the Eust had for their
object the protection of Lyons and the rais
ing of the siege of Belfort. This change in
the nature of the struggle has involved less
radidity of action, but has been equally
fruitful of results, and now another culmi
nating point has been reached, by the addi
tion of Paris to the long list of captured
cities, towns, and fortresses which includes
Laon, Toul, Strasburg, Orleans, Soissons,
Schlestadt, Metz, Dijon, Verdun, Neuf
Breisacb, Thionville, Amiens, llouen, Yen
dome, Tours, Le Mans, Pfalsburg, Mont
medy, Nuits, MeztereS, St. Quentin, and
Lougwy.
Ox Saixbday evening a complimentary
banquet was given by the journalists in
Washington to Colonel John W. Forney on
the occasion of his leaving that city for the
purpose of assuming tho personal charge of
the Press of this city. The banquet appears
to have been a very enjoyable affair, and as
an expression of good feeling towards Colonel
Forney by his brother journalists in Wash
ington, it was undoubtedly well deserved.
Colonel Forney has in many ways been of
essential service to the correspondents and
other newspaper men stationed in Washing
ton, and his many courtesies, as this banquet
testified, are gratefully appreciated by them.
Colonel Forney's personal supervision will
undoubtedly be of material advantage to the
Press, and we cordially extend him a wel
come on his return to join permanently the
journ listic corps f this city.
