TI1R TREATY BETWEEN GERMANY
AND FRANCE.
It is a noteworthy feature of the preliminaries
of peace between Germany and Franoe, that
the point most urgently pressed by M. Thiers
was a restoration of MeU to the control of
Franoe. The principal portions of Alsaoe
and Lorraine were surrendered almost without
a sigh; the amount of tribute-money was
agreed upon without serious difficulty; but
the abandonment of lleta was only submitted
to as a measure of dire necessity. M. Thiers
offered, in exchange for it, to make
a large increase of the financial
payments to Germany, and sinoe the
rejection of this offer he has proposed to
purchase Luxemburg and hand it over to the
triumphant invaders if they will yield up
Metz; but all these offers do not seem to
have tempted Bismarck, He stated some
months ago that Franoe would be inspired by
an implacable thirst for vengeance after the
present war was oonolnded, and that he in
tended to deprive her of the power of sud
denly renewing effective hostilities. Adhe
rence to this policy is no doubt the cause of
his stubborn refusal to surrender the fortress
which M. Thiers and his countrymen
are so anxious to regain. Napo
leon made Metz his base of
operations in the oampaign which terminated
so disastrously, and if French troops were
allowed to reoocupy it now, it would again be
used for a similar purpose as soon as Franoe
felt strong enough to renew hostilities. If
Thiers could reacquire Metz he would thereby
inspire his countrymen with the hope that the
lustre of Frenoh glory might be restored, and
that her lost military honor might be re
gained. The torrent of mingled sorrow,
mortification, rage, and intense hatred
which has been so long pent up
would speedily seek an outlet
through the gates of the famoas fortress of
the Moselle; and the peace of to-day would
be but the harbinger of another war at the
earliest possible moment. Foreseeing this
danger, Bismarok has been as stubborn in re
sisting as Thiers has been earnest in seek
ing a restoration of Metz, and it is extremely
doubtful whether any inducements that
France can offer will enable her to regain the
commanding strategio position she lost by
Bazaine's surrender.
FINANCIAL "RECUPERATION."
Ocb neighbors over the river have been in
dulging, in a small way, in the modern luxury
of financial "irregularities." Mr. Henry
Samuels, who had borne for years a reputa
tion above reproaoh, while acting as paying
teller of the First National Bank of Camden,
was suddenly discovered to be a defaulter to
the extent of some $9000. The unfortunate
gentleman desired to purchase a farm, and
not having sufficient means of his own at
command, in a thoughtless moment he is
said to have .appropriated the funds of the
bank, manipulating the records in such a way
as to conceal his "irregularities" from the
bank officials for some time. Camden is a
quiet, easy-going sort of a place, and Mr.
Samuels was an innovator. He therefore
very wisely restricted his operations, and was
content to startle his neighbors without as
tounding them.
But, although it was a paltry nine thou
sand that Mr. Samuels appropriated, the
bank officials and others in authority over the
river appear to take an enlarged and liberal
view of the whole affair, to contemplate it
from a standpoint that would do credit to
Philadelphia and even to New York. "Here,"
said one of the bank offioials to our reporter
yesterday "here is another instance of aman
advanced in life, enjoying the confidence and
esteem of his friends and neighbors, the head
of. an Interesting family, suddenly over
whelmed with disgrace by listening to the
tempter." But the bank functionary who
uttered these sympathetic words was hard
hearted to a degree of downright cruelty in
comparison with another ef tto offioials, who
refused te give our reporter the name of the
defaulter, supplementing the refusal with the
remark that "we want to give him
a chance to recuptratt" The bank, thanks
to a "wealthy brother," will lose nothing by
the embezzlement, and in consideration of
this ciroumstanoe, the embezzler is not to be
proseouted, but is to have "a chance to re
cuperate." The worthy eashier appears to
take the most enlightened view of the short
. comings of the teller, to regard him as a
person unfortunately diseased in mind, who
needs only "a chanoe to recuperate" to fit
him for a return to his daties as a mmip u-
later of other peoples money. A short
sojourn upon that farm in the oouutry which
was purchased with the money of the
positors is thought by the cashier to be much
more conduoive to a healthy moral tone aula
strict appreciation of the distinctions between
tneum and tuum, than the restraint of the
Camden jail. But the impartial etudeu of
this case of nieatai Infirmity should not l-aa
eight of the Uot that the "wealthy brother"
who has promised to make good the defalca
tion has an important relation to the whole
affair. If the "wealthy brother" had not so
promised, it requires no stretch of the imagi
nation to conceive the cashier tak
ing an entirely different view of the case,
ignoring the wholesome influences of country
seclusion in favor of the irksome restraint of
prison bars.
Soberly speaking, it seems to us, and
doubtless to all persons whose minds are not
clouded by the heresies of these degenerate
days, that this "recuperating" process is
about played out. There is Mr. Tryoa
Reakirt, the "young gentleman of culture,
who had the happy but confusing faculty of
being able to imitate other people's penman
ship. He, also, is off "recuperating," with
the full knowledge and approval of divers
bank officers of this city, whose accounts
with their patrons were sadly disarranged by
Mr. Reakirt's idiosyncrasies. And then there
is Mr. Richard Ficken, who shoots small boys
in Buch a graceful fashion, ne, too, has
been "recuperating," and, thanks to Gov
ernor Geary, Attorney-General Brewster, Mr.
William B. Mann, and Mr. Lewis C. Cassidy,
he has received an indefinite exten
sion of time in which to bring about
a healthy appreciation of the sacredness
of human life. If Mr. Henry Samuels could
not boast among his kindred a considerate
"wealthy brother," if Mr. Tryon Reakirt
were not the son of a well-to-do father, if
Mr. Richard Ficken were not himself a mil
lionaire, the whole graceless trio would be
brought to justice, precisely in the same
fashion that common forgers, defaulters, and
would-be murderers are brought to justice.
The distinction thus made between the rich
and the poor is a material one, but the
poverty-stricken have the oonsolation of
knowing that it conduces to virtue in the
humbler walks of life. If a man is wealthy,
or has wealthy relations, he can, in this en
lightened age, redden his hands in blood or
appropriate the money of other people, and
yet go nnwhipt of justice; if a man is poor,
he must be peaceful and honest, or stand the
consequences of being otherwise. Of the
two lots, we are inclined to the belief that
poor folk have the better, provided, always,
that they do not fall into temptation.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Last evening an eloquent plea in favor of
the sacredness of the marriage tie and against
the free and easy divorces which too many of
the advooates of women's rights contend for,
and which are sanctioned by the laws of too
many of our States, was made at the Academy
of Musio by a young lady who is evidently
as much superior to the majority of female
platform f peakers in intellect as she is in
personal attractions. Miss Edgarton im
pressed her hearers last evening with the fact
that she was a lady in the best and highest
sense of that muoh abused term, and her
discourse was at once forcible without vulga
rity, and refined without weakness or senti
mentality. The good a refined and lady-like
woman who has been endowed by heaven
with the gift of eloquence, and has
common sense in additon, can
do in combatting some ef the
moBt dangerous tendencies of the times, and
in promoting reforms whioh all good men
and women concur in believing to be neoes
sary for the future welfare and safety of the
nation, can scarcely be estimated; and
although Miss Edgarton's discourse displayed
the common feminine fault of being able only
to look upon one side of a subject when she
merely considered the usual relations of the
sexes apart from the matter of marriage, her
remarks on the subject of marriage and divorce,
as practical questions of the day, were so true
and just that we give them a cordial endorse
ment, and in all sincerity wish her success in
the important and influential field of labor
upon which Bhe has entered.
Miss Edgarton indioated the true remedy
for the present disgraceful condition of the
laws in this country which assume to regulate
marriage and divorce, and that is a constitu
tional amendment which will place the whole
subject of marital relations in the hands of
the Federal Government, and thus ensure
uniform laws for the whole country. This
plan has been advocated repeatedly in the
columns of this journal, and it is the"! only
method by which the root of existing evils
can be reached. The laws regulating mar
riage should be such as will protect the just
rights of both parties to the marital con
tract and those of their children, and divorces
should be made difficult to obtain, and should
only be granted in extreme cases where it
would be gross injustioe not only to the
parties themselves but to society at large that
the marriage-tie should continue unbroken
Only by a uniform system of Federal laws can
the confusion which now arises from the
divorce regulations of the different States be
overcome, and the time has arrived when the
future welfare of the nation demands a radioal
change from the present system, or rather no
system.
A large number of the prominent women's
right advocates contend that the convenience
of individuals is paramount to all other con
siderations, that when a couple are un
happy in the marriage state they should have
the right to sever their bonds at will, and to
form new ones if so disposed. It need no
argument to prove that such a theory as this
saps the very foundation of social morals, and
that if admitted it will be but the prelude to
a degrading barbarism. Miss Edgarton elo
quently and earnestly contended last evening
that society at largo had claims superior to
those of individuals; that if persons fool
ibhly marry without a reasonable fore
knowledge of the probable consequences,
they and not society should be made
to buffer the consequences of their folly; and
that, even in the case of unhappy marriages,
where one or both parties to it are blameless,
it Js better that they should suffer thau tint
a condition of affairs should be couute
caueed Lich will assuredly destroy all there
ia nnrwl in fcn.'lAtv ftn,1 mnl.'A fnr fi uili v-if i
the disgrace instead of the glory of the race.
This is as true as it is appropriate
to the prevailing sentiments of the times;
and as women upon the platform, and
through tho journals which assume to repre
sent the grievances and wrongs whioh they
suffer from sooloty in general and
the sex masculine in particular, have
assiduously asserted the dootrine of free-love,
it is a matter for congratulation that at least
one able, eloquent, and earnest woman, who
apparently has more brains than the whole
shrieking sisterhood together, has raised her
voice in favor of the sanotity of home, the
cause of true morality, and the cause of the
true rights of women: for it is certain that, if
free-lovism prevails, the condition of women
will be infinitely worse than it is under its
least favorable aspects at present.
II ON. HENRY D. COOKE.
Hon. HenbtD. Cooke was yesterday appointed
Governor of the District of Columbia, under
the recent aot of Congress organizing a terri
torial government for the one hundred square
miles upon whioh the capital of the country
is located. That this change in the method
of managing the affairs of the District will
will beneficial can scarcely be doubted, and a
good commencement has certainly been
made by the President in conferring
the gubernatorial honors upon lion.
Henry D. Cooke, whose exten sive personal
interests in the District will certainly
induce him to labor for its welfare, while his
high obaraoter is a guarantee that he will per
form his duties in a manner satisfac
tory to the President, to Congress, and
to the people of the District. Mr. Cooke is a
native of Sandusky, Ohio, and is in the prime
of life, being about forty-five years of age.
Mr. Cooke was originally a journalist, and
for a number of years he was connected edi
torially with the Sandusky Register, and sub
sequently with The Ohio State Journal. In
18G2 he gave up journalism, and became a
member of the banking firm of Jay Coobe fc
Co. He was the head of the Washington
banking house of this firm, and during the
time he has resided at the capital he has
thoroughly identified himself with its interests
and with those of the District of Columbia.
The Governor of the District of Columbia is
a brother of Jay Cooke, Esq., of this city.
The people of the District of Columbia are to
be congratulated upon the appointment of a
man of Mr. Cooke's high personal character
and eminent abilities as their first Governor,
and the appointment is the more likely to
give general satisfaction, as Mr. Cooke has
never been a partisan politician, and is iden
tified with no political cliques, so that he will
enter upon the duties of his office free from
any entangling alliances which might impair
his usefulness, and will be prepared to act
fairly and impartially, and with a single eye
to the best interests of the District.
In the next Congress the Democrats, for
the first time since the outbreak of the Re
bellion, -will have a representation sufficient
to prevent a suspension of the rules of the
dominant party, and to defeat measures whioh
are not sustained by a nearly solid Republi
can vote. This increase of strength will be
accompanied by a corresponding increase of
responsibility, and it is to be hoped that it
will make both parties more circumspect than
they have been of late years in all their move
ments. In peace times, parties are never so
well employed as when they are keenly criti
cizing and watching each other; and if the
Democrats tell the nation all the faults of the
Republicans, and the Republicans faithfully
expose all the enormities of the Democracy,
there is a reasonable prospect that the public
interests will be well guarded.
The rebels of Cuba, if late reports from
that island are to be believed, are even more
inhuman in some respects than the Rebels of
the United States. It is alleged that they
have commenced hanging persons who are
suspected of a desire to reacknowledge their
allegiance to Spain, and that they have lately
hung a woman for attempting to persuade her
husband, who was a soldier, to surrender.
Such atrocities would condemn any cause,
and they will tend to make the whole civilized
world rejoice in the complete suppression of
the Cuban rebellion.
