t HIE DAILT EVENINO TELEGRAPH -PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1871. erxziiT or xnn rnnso. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal uponCurrentToploa Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. TIIE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS AND TIIE PRESIDENCY. From the If. 7. Sun. The New York Democracy onght to exert a powerful influence in the next National Convention of their party. This is due to the number of the electoral votes which the State is pretty sure to cast for the Demo cratic candidate, and to the high standing in the party of Bomo of the leading statesmen, and to the not less important fact that their supporters can contribute an immense amount of money for the expenses of the canvass. Holding this vantage ground, the Demoorats of this (State may perhaps be able to designate the Presidential standard-bearer. It has been too hastily assumed in some nn&rtera that the Democracy of New York have no candidates of their own whom they intend to press for the nomination in 1872; that they favor the selection of a Western man; and that the great mass of them seoond the aspirations of Mr. Hendricks. We think this is a mistake. The party in this State, taken as a whole, have at least three candi dates, and we will name them in the order of their eeriority. They are Horatio Sey monr, Sanford E. Church, and John T. Hoff man. Governor Seymour ranks among the fore most statesmen of the country. Though trained in the conservative school of Van Buren and Marcy, he has kept pretty well np to the ideas of our more progressive tirne-i, while be has shown commendable skill in steering clear of the fends which have of late years distracted the party in this State, not infrequently arraying the rural Democracy against Tammany Hall, with both of whioh, however, he has always stood well. In 18G8 he showed as much courage as taot, when he went to the West on his famous stamping tour after the October eleotions; courage, be cause those elections had demonstrated that by do possibility could he escape defeat in November; tact, in ignoring dead issues, and confining his speeches almost wholly to questions of trade, finance, and taxation, which he knew were in a year or two to oo cupy that place in the public mind so long engrossed by slavery and its adjunots. As he was beaten in 1868 by Qeneral Grant on what will be treated as defunct issues in 1872, Governor Seymour will, if the Republicans are so beside themselves as to renominate Grant, very likely become the Democratic candidate, and would certainly be eleoted over the man who defeated him four years previously. Mr. Church is a disciple of Tompkins and "Wright, who were so long leaders to the pro gressive wing of the New York Demooraoy. He has an excellent war record, is highly popular with the masses, always outruns his associates on the same ticket, has heretofore filled with ability and credit the responsible offices of Comptroller, Lieutenant-Governor, and President of the Canal Board, was the most conspicuous Domoorat in our late Con stitutional Convention, and is now, with health fully restored, winning distinction as the chief judge of the highest judicial tri bunal in the State. A statesman of aoknow lodged capacity, and standing quite aloof from all factions which have disturbed the harwonv of the party both in New York and elsewhere, he would be a powerful candidate for the Presidency. Perhaps we do Governor Hoffman injustice in representing him as a competitor for the nomination next year. Some of his intimate friends say be is not, but on the contrary as sert that he is of the opinion that inasmuch ah thA Democratic candidate ia lSGt was from New Jersey, and in 18C8 from New York, ha rtnoht not bow to be selected from the Fast There is much force in this view of the situation: for. though. New York is almost certain to go for the Democratic nominee next year, undoubtedly the great majority of 'the electoral votes by which he Is eleoted must come from States lying west of the Alle chenies. and therefore that section of the Union may well claim the candidate. Gover nor Hoffman, too, may naturally think that if he throws his influence now in favor of a Western candidate, the compliment may be reciprocated in 1870, ana ne tnus enjoy the honor of running for President of the United States in' the year when the whole Amemsan people will be celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of their Declaration of Independence. However, if the Conven tion should desire to place Governor Hoff man in the field, we presume he would not emulate the example of Caesar and put aside the crown once too often, but rather, like Barkis, might prove to be willing. The fol - lowers of St. Tammany are not wont to de .line honors of that description. We advise the Demooracy of other parts of the Union to keep a sharp eye on their brethren in this State, and be careful in the selection of delegates to the National Con vention. Shrewd, active, plausible, full of devices, lavish of promises, and overflowing witn greenbacks, u tne JNew lorn magnates set their hearts upon nominating one of their number for the Presidency, the unso phisticated delegates from the rural States may be sure that they will suoceed. . TnE NEW GERMAN EMPIRE. From the N. V, Times. The new Empire of Germany begins from this time a oareer of immense importance to tne worm, its population is the seoond of the great States of Europe. Russia leads wun (i-j,uuu,uuu; out, including Aiaaoe and Lorraine, Germany follows with 40,120,000 of the most industrious and intelligent inhabi ' tants to be found in any community of the world. France, shorn of a large part of her two provinces, comes next, with 30,430,000: and then the Austrian monarchy, with ftZ5.A43.000. and Great Britain, with n K'ta nnn. j 1 r j - - vvjuvVjVWj last of all being Italy, with Rome, counting 26,470,000 inhabitants. Even the preponder ating population of the German Em nirA is no fair measure of its strength. Its por tion is central, whether for military or moral influence. It is compact and homo- . geneous. All its vast forces are under the control of one Executive and the Parliament, Its leading StaUPruBsia is confessedly (the, most intelligent, disciplined, and vigor ous community in Europe. The administra tion is everywhere economical and thoroughly well; organized. The educational system of i Prusaia,its economy and thorot?h diaoipline, ' will now be1 spread through all the empire Even this tremendous war will w,av3 bug debt on the ' empire than it would o:i any other civilized State. The llobenzoUorus always made their enemies pay their war ex penses, and no army lives at eo littla monoy cost as the German. In our judgment, tho "empire will be peace," in a far better sense than was ever true of the Napoleonio regime. The war has made terrible wounds in German homes. Almost every family has suffered. The very best of the people, as in our own war, have offered their lives for the oountry. All busi ness and production have been interrupted. For a generation to come the masses will dread and abhor war, and the people will seek their natural bent in trade, agrioulture, and manufactures. The masses, too, are to have more power in the new empire. The Parlia ment is to contain 882 members in the lower house, chosen by universal suffrage. Many of the trades-unions and workingmen'a associations are represented among these. It is true that Prussia sends 236 mem bors out of this number, but many others in the cities and Western provinces oome from democratic constituencies. This por tion of the German Parliament will be essen tially a popular body, and represent the na tional aspirations for pence and industrial progress. In the Upper House, which cor responds to our Senate, and represents States and princely families, Prussia has a much smaller proportional representation only seventeen out of fifty-two, while Bavaria hs six, Saxony four, Wurtemberg four, and Baden and Hesse three each. Thus those five States could in that House outvote Prussia, if they so desired, yet Prussia repre sents 21,039,000 inhabitants, while Havana contains but 4,824,000, Saxony 2.423,000 and Wurtemberg 1,778,000. One pnnoipality re- ptesented by one vote in eaoh Home ticbaumburg Ldppe nas out tne population of a small town, 31,000. The interest of the future, botn for Ger many and the world, in the new Parliament, les in tne struggle, inevitable ana intense, between the self-will and royal power of the Hohenzollern and the popular aspirations for greater liberty. The present Kaiser is a martinet and believes in "the divine right," and therefore will be determined to have his own way without regard to constitutions. Unfortunately for liberty, he has shown a divine right to command by great efforts and great achievements. Like all his ances tors, he has known how to conduct a larga government with rigid eoonomy; ne nas had the faculty of choosing and retaining the best pnbho servants: be has cast life and crown into the struggle for Prus sia's supremacy, and has oome forth victorious. Germany will forgive many Bins to the brave old martinet, and self-willed but successful emperor. For years to oome the principal events in German history will be the struggles between the emperor and the people. With the succession of his son, how ever, will come a more reasonable and liberal Government. "Our Fritz" is known to all Germany as a liberal-minded rnler, and no mean general. He has been worthily conse crated for tne imperial crown on many a battle-field. His English wife gives a promise of reasonable and constitutional influences around bim, and of a future reign whioh shall be worthy of a constitutional king. We can not but hope that tne new German empire foretokens greater peace and liberty to conti nental Europe. FRANCE AND THE BONAPARTES. From the N. F. World. "Tne Assembly enthusiastically ana unaiximomiu voted by acclamation a resolution offered by M. Tame, decreeing the fall of the empire, and Hinma- tizing Aapolftni as the author of the mUortunes of prance." from me woriat caove aeapautnte oj Thnmday. This vote may perhaps have been a need less formality; but the people of the United States are glad to see the condemnation of the empire and of the Bonaparte dynasty put fairly on reoord. It is the best possible answer to the fallen Emperor's manifesto from Wilhelmshohe on the day of the recent French eleotions. We rejoice that i ranee has escaped the Bonaparte inoubus. The re sult mit lit have been different if the Ger mans had chosen to restore Napoleon, and we must give them the credit of having ab stained from any undue interference with the internal government of franco, and of leav ing the opposition to Napoleon to take its free course. His only chance of restoration was in possible German connivance; an i the crisis having passed without aid from that quarter, the hopes of the Bonaparte family are buried forever. That family has been'the greatest soourge and curse ever visited upon D ranee, or in recent times upon Europe. It must be con ceded that both nephew and uncle were able internal administrators, but the order and system which prevailed in their interior man agement, was perfection in the art of collect ing taxes and conscripting soldiers. Both of the Bonapartes depended upon their foreign policy for influence and consideration at home, and each was prostrated and crushed by the reooil of this favorite engine. The first and the second empire alike ended in convulsion and storm, in the humiliation of France and the fall of its capital. Both of the Bonapartes were overwhelmed by foreign wars begun witnout neoessity upon an egre gious miscalculation of results, iiiicn of tnem, in tne nour of nnai disaster, made a craven surrender of his person ti the enemy against whom he had been fighting, and they were alike .disappointed in the advantages they expected from a course so inconsistent with elevation of character. We trust that this terrible repetition of the terrible lesson of ,1815 may cure France of fooliah attachment to her worst soourge. The chief curse of Bonapartism was its subordi nation of domeatio to foreign policy, aud I ranee ought to have learned by this time that nothing could be more ruinous to her true interests. What did she gain by all the unequalled splendor of the first Napoleon s victories and his brilliant career of conquest? Nothing in the end but vain eolat. Every rooa oi mose conquests was wrested away Dy tne disasters which attended his downfall, leaving nothing but the remembrance of barren military laurels. And at what a fear ful cost were those laurels purchased! The A 11 j n . . . taxes coueciea auring tne eleven- years of the first empire were equal to all whioti were collected during the sixty-three years of the splendid and warlike reign of Louis XIV. Under the first Napoleon France sacrificed five millions of frenchmen, moat of them in the flower of tneir age. I hat prodigal squandering of life and treasure was a dear price to uav for the glory of being governed by the most suo- cesBiul butcher in the annals of the human race. The second empire did not make such wuoiesaie saennoes to the Aloloen of war, but ine policy of the two empires was subsUu tlally identical. The main prop of both was a vast army, the support of which entailed grinding taxes upon the people. Under the second empire there was every year a gret deficit, owing to the fact that the military establishment was too large for its expenses to be defrayed out of the annual revenues. The public debt of Fraaoe iu 1S.12, the first year of the seooud empire, ws 5,rl(!,lH4,(;00 francs; and ia lKGii the Dublin debt bed grown to the enormous sum of 115, 831, 723, 110 francs, although the whole period wus uiie of uninterrupted prinpori' y And jet tLe French army, maintained ut .i V.i enormous expense, proved worthless in the bour of trial. All the money expended on it was wasted. The Emperor's false estimate of its strength seduced him into a blunder which cost him his throne, and brought upon France a train of the moat humiliating dis asters she ever suffered. The stnpendons drain for military expenses which was the essence of Bouapartiain both under the first and nnder the seoond empire, was a calamity to all Europe as well as to France. A nation with a great army is a terror to its neighbors, who are also com pelled to maintain great armies as preoau- tion BgHiCHt BUdden or wanton attacks, ine result ban been to make Europe a vast ramp, each government squandering the fruits of industry on great military esta blishments rendered ueoessary by mutual jealousy and distrust. This tremendous waste of resources is tbe enrse whioh Jionapartism brought upon France and upon all Europe; aid we trust that irauce at least begins to realize its destructive follv. No French statesman i.s ho responsible for fee second disaxtrons experiment of ? na- partiRt rnle as Thiers. He was, without in tending it, tne author of the seooud empire. He made himself prime minister f l ranee for the second time by oateriug to 13 map r- tint prepossessions. This was the meaus by which be effected the coalition of parties iu the Chamber of Deputis which overthrew the ministry of Marshal Soult iu 1810. As soon as he was fairly in power he applied to Lord Palmerston tor permission to remove tbe body of Napoleon Bonaparte from St. Helena to the banks of the Seine. Nothing Las ever occurred which had so tnuoti iiifluf-nce in reviving and intensi fying tbe old admiration for that great warrior. The funeral pomp and parade of tbe final obsequies electrified and intoxicated the French people, and smoothed the way for the second empire. Months before the remtins till reaitiod France, Louis Napoleon was encouraged to make bis famous Boulogne expedition, and it is a curious circnrustauce that in the procla mation which he published at that place, he appointed M. Thiers as "President of the Provisional Government" a recognition of the service he had rendered totheBonapartist cause. A few years later Thiers commence 1 tbe publication of his greatest work, "The Consulate and Empire," tbe most maguiucent monument ever erected to tbe memory of a hero. Without the powerful stimulus which Thiers gave to Bouaparttst sentiment in Fiance, the second empire could not have been inaugurated. And uow he is President of the Provisional Government which sets tbe seal upon its until overthrow. Tbe star of tne liomptrto tauiiiy nas doubtless set forever, and we would fain hope that tbe expensive delusion that thegreatuess of a nation depends upon its military estah lisbment may be extinguiaUud in tbe minds of Frenchmen. With the burden of debt under which tbe nation must for a long time stagger, there will be no place for its old in toxicating dreams; and as its attention must necessarily be directed chiefly to d imestio affairs, let us hope that it may come to per ceive that the true glory of a nation consists in industry, commerce, art, civilization, and the mental and moral elevation of its people If the diminished armaments of France shall remove the jealousy ad fears of other countries, and lead to a corresponding rediio tion of their establishments, the recent dis asters will prove an ultimate blessing to her and to all Europe. Let us hope that "Na poleonio ideas" will fall into the same irre trievable discredit as the Bonaparte family an Italian exotic which has exhausted the soil of France to feed its poisonous growth. TIIE MILITARY POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT. f r,n the N. F. Tribune. Has the President, under the Constitution and laws of the United States, as expouudu 1 by the proper courts, any right, in time of peace, to use the military forces of tue na tion in any State without the application or consent of its Legislature or Governor? lb present system of government, unde which tne republic has existed nearly a cen tnry, should by tnis time nave become, one would think, so well known certainly in a matter of such primary and vital importance that its prominent men could never need to ask such a question, or fail to answer it cor rectly when asked. Yetiu the receut debate on the Deficiency bill, and iu the latest mes sages of the Governors of New York aud Pennsylvania, we have most abundant evi dence to the contrary. In the debate in Con gress Mr. Randall said: "I am a living witness to tbe fact that United Stales marines were brought to the polls in iuv dis trict without any authority of la, and without any request of the Uovernor of the St tin, as provided by the Constitution of tbe United Slates." In tbe same debate, General Logan, while asserting he did not believe the President had "used any power iu his hands beyond what the law has authorized him to do," stated: "And I will say, too, tint the way I understand the law It does not give the President auy right to send the army or th navy Into the States la time of peace, in order to execute ttie civil law, except uoon the request of the Legislature of the State, or of tho Governor, in the absence or the Legislature." And then we have the Governors of New York and Pennsylvania emulating each other iu their condemnation of the action taken by the President in the use of the laud aud naval forces at the receut elections. Governor Geary says: "The employment of United States troops at elections, wituout the consent or the lo.ial and State government, has recently received consider-' able attention and reprehension. It Is regarded as an interference with the sovereign rlxhts of the States which was not contemplated dj tue fouuderg of the General Government. At the last Oc.obcr elect uin United States troops were sta tioned In Philadelphia for the avoed purpose of enforcing the election laws. This was done without the cI.HeQt, or even the knowledge, of the civil authorities of either the city or the SUie. The proper and only time for United States millt iry f 'lies to lutetveue will be when the power of the Comuionwea'th la exhausted, aud their aid is law ful!) required." Tbis is said with reference to the enforce ment of an act of Congress which the United States Circuit Court has pronounced consti tutional. The prevailing idea which under lies the opinions of the statesmen above mentioned is evidently that of the exclusive sovereignty of the State the right to give or withhold its military at its pleasure. It is, in fact, the old political heresy of the S mth; the same that caused Fort Sumter to be fired npon, that paralyzed the United States Gov ernment under Buohanan, caused Lincoln's proclamation to be scoffed at by the Gover nor of Kentucky, and the Southern officers to quit the army when their Btates seoeded. Article IV, section 4, of the Constitution pays: "The United Btates shall guarantee to every State In this Union a republican lorin of government, aud bliull piolect eaeli cf them against tuvasi 'i; a id on application of the Legislature, or of tha Executive (when the Legislature u uuot oe couveaed), agaiust (loinebiic violence," The act of Coogre s of February 23, 17SI5, passed during Washington's Administra tion, sjs: section 1. "That whenever the United State shall be Invndt d or be in Imminent danger of Invasion., fioin any foreign nation or ludiau trlhs. It shall la law iul fi r Ihe Prealdciit of tlie United Status tit call forth fcuch nuiiio' r or the miliiu of Hie u'.e or butts most cunvenleut to the place of danger or peene of action, as he may Judge necessary to repel such Invasion, aim to isnne his orders for that pur pose to sncB oniotr or officers or therallltla as ne shall think proper. And In case or an Insurrection In anv State against the government thereor. I shall 'lie lawful for the President or the United States, on application or the Legislature or auc.n State, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), to call forth such number of he militia or any otner state or States, asrotybe pplli d for, as he may Judge sunilent to suppress such lnsutrectloM."' Section 8 "That wnenever the laws of tne United States shall be oppose1', or the execution thereor ibstincted. la auy Mate, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary courso of judicial proceeding, or by the powers vested In the insrshals by this act. It shall be lawful for the Presi dent or the United States to call forth the mllltla of such State or or any other Stat or States, as may be I'pcesssrv to suppress sucn combinations, and to csuse the laws to be duiy executed." Tbe aot of Congress of March .'J, 1807, passed during tbe administration of President Jefferson, prescribed: "That In all cases of insurrection or obstruction of the laws, either of the United States or of anr Individual State or Territory, where it Is lawful for the president or tne I'nitea (stares to can lertn tne militia tor the purpose ol suppressing such Insurrec tion, or of canning the laws to be duly executed, it shall tie lawful t T him to employ, for the same pnr- tore, such part or the land or naval rorce or the nited States as shall be Judged necessary." This act of 17S5 came before the United States Supreme Court while presided over by Chief Justice Alamball, in lS'JU, in tne case of Houston a gt. Moore (r Wheatons llep., f. 15), and Mr. Justice Washington, in de iveiing the judgment of the court, said: The President a orders may be given to tne Chief Executive Magistrate of the State, or to any militia officer he may think proper. Mr. Justice Johnson, ia delivering a conour- rii'C opinion in this case, said (page .in: "Historically it is Known mat tne act oi i i'J- was passed with a view to a slato of things then existing in tho interior of Pennsylvania, when it became probable that the President of the United States would have to exert tho autho ritv of the General Government immediately on detached portions of the officers of tho militia of tbe Union to aid in tne execution of the laws of the United States." Later, in 1827, the United States Supreme Court, in tLe case of Martin against Mott (12 Whea- ton's Kep., p. 19), again ruled that "the act of 171.r, which confers power on the Presi dent to call forth tbe militia, in certain exigencies,- is a constitutional law, and the President is the exclusive and final judge w better the exigency has arisen." Mr. Justice Story, in delivering the opinion of tbe Court, said (page 37): "The act of 170.1 is not confined in its operation to cases of re fusal to obey tbe orders of tho President in time of publio war. On the contrary, that act authorizes tbe President to call forth the militia to suppress Insurrections and to en force the laws of the United States in times of pence." recently, in 18U!, Judge Mason, of the New York State Court of Appeals, while delivering tbe opinion of that highly respact able court in tbe case of The People agt. Campbell (40 N. Y. Rep., p. 1.5G), used this language: "Congress, bv the act of February 8, 1T95, gave full power to the Viesldent to call forth the mllltla of the States for the purposes stated, to serve for three months, and by the act of July 1MS62, tho time was extended to nine months. Tan President is tnauo the sole judge whether the exljrency has arisen; and this call may be mado by tne President upi n the State Executive, or by orders to any subordinate oillcers of mUitia." It is plain from these nets and decisions, (1.) that when tho laws of the State are ob structed, when there is domestic violence, and the State is not, iu the judgment of its Legislature or Governor, able to enforoe them with its own power, and applies to the United States for aid, tho President is em powered to send into it the militia of the ad joining Statef, aud (2.) that where tho ques tion is either one of external danger or of re sistance to tbe laws of the United States, the Governors are but tho President's subordi nates, and have no part whatever but such as he may assign them. The President is the commander-in-chief of all the foroes of the couutry, and he can legally aud constitution ally exercise his authority as such without the consent or concurrence of any official whatso ever.
