THE DAILY EVBnINQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 18711
KiroxAKDrnouDnoffo the French
nation.
From th PU Mall Gtzttt.
Some little time ago our pages contained a
Teview of the life of the late Professor Robert
Xaex, the anatomist. Though aggressiTe and
dnputio la his opinions, be was a bold,
origiaal, ad often sagacious thinker; and
some of bn reflections and predictions en the
nature an .stiny of . the Celtio race, and of
-the Gallic Oelt in particular, are of interest
at the present moment. Writing about 1850,
be b j St
lii my first lecture, delivered Are years ago, I said
that tbe Celtic race does not and never conld be
made to comprehend the meaning of the word
liberty. The opinion I Rave bad no reference to
recent events, but was deduced from past history:
the histories ef 'Pit. of 'is, of '8a add now the events
of '48 and '4, ami say have I erred in the eittraite I
formed of this race? On fonr eventful ocsanlons the
supreme power has returned Into the hands of the
Celtic men of France. Never was tbe destruction of
a dynasty more complete. What use have they made
of this power? as a Saxon I abhor all
dynasties, monarchies, and bayonet-governments;
bat this latter seems to be the only one suitable for
tbe Celtic man.
Again:
Celtic liberty Is now veil comprehended by all
Europe, The world thought Celtic France a great
aud free people ; but the world waa wrong U they
lld, for the world forgot the element of race la Us
calculation on the probable destinies of the French
Gelt. That element, duly weighed, would have
ahown them that a race being composed of Indivi
duals resembling each other must even In Its great
est efforts merely shadow forth the character of the
Individual. When the French Celt drove out the
insupportable and paltry Orleans dynasty, they
were merely a fighting clan without a chief:
bavlog no self-esteem, how could they act
without a leader? That leader had not then
arid has not yet appeared. The Celtic race
has had In Its ewn bands, more than any other, Its
wn destinies. Chance placed at their head the
greatest of men that ever appeared on earta. Ulm
they sold and betrayed. Still their powerls terrible,
end quite an overmatch for any other single race.
Nothing could prevent them again marching to
j Moscow and St. Petersburg were the contest to be
merely between the twe races. Sy such a contest
mankind would be greatly benefitted. Paris
Is fortified, and were the territory again polluted by
a foreign foe the true republican flog would be once
more hoisted, sure to be pushed forward to Berlin
and Vienna to-morrow St. Petersburg. To
revolutionize Is Celtio, to reform Is Saxon.
There burst forth that mighty Ke volution which
shook the world, whose effects must
endure for ever. Court, clergy, and gentry were
swept Into the ocean. Bat did the Celt thereby put
the land question on a right footing ? Not In tbe
least. lie created merely another class of landed
proprietors. He abolished the law of primo
geniture, it la true, but he bad not the soul to rise up
to the principle of abstract justice. It it not that
yon are deficient In courage. No braver race exists
en the earth, but you have no Industry, no self
esteem, no confidence In your Individual exertions.
Again, speaking of their former history, he
says:
They sacked Rome, burst Into Greece, and plun
dered the temple of Delphi. War and plunder,
Bloodshed an tf violence, In which the race delights,
was their object. From Brennus to Napoleon the
war-cry of ttw Celtic race was, "To the Alps to the
Rhine!" This game, vshich still enaage their whole
attention, has now been played for nearly 4000 years.
I de not blame them. I pretend not to censure any
race. I merely state facts either quite obvious or
borne out by history.
" The italics are our own; but it most be ad
mitted that to the Professor it has been given
to f rapper juste, BJid that these predictions
have been singularly felicitous in their
results.
Again: Proudhon, whose intuition into the
passionate weakness sometimes betrayed in
the French nature was a kind of instinct, ut
tered in 1848 some remarkable words which,
call them prophecy, inspiration, fore
boding, warning, what we will are at this
very moment being carried out and accom
plished to the letter. The extracts to which
we refer have been noticed by one of our
contemporaries, but as they may not have
met the eye of our readers we subjoin them
Let the first acts of the National Assembly but
disclose reactionary intentions; let only one rash
vote inflame tbe auger of the people; let the na
tional representation be violated, and: then, under
tbe pressure of another dictatorship, let tbe move
neat be suddenly stifled and France will be Use a
hive surrounded with flames. In which the choking,
burning bees sting each other to death. Then, when
the Government shall have exhausted all Its re
sources; when tbe nation shall have eaten up Its
savings : when production and oommerce are at an
end; when starving;Parls, blockaded by the depart
ments, sending nothing out and no longer ablo
to pay, shall be deprived of all country produce ;
when the workmen, demoralized by Idleness and
tbe politics of the clubs, shall turn soldiers for the
Bake of their pay and rations; when a million of
proletalres (the ignorant, poor, and disorderly, the
dangerous classes) shall organize an armed crusade
against property ; when the State shall "requisition"
plate and jewelry to send them to the mint; when
domiciliary seizure shall be the only mode of collect
ing the taxes ; when the peasants for want of money
shall pay their taxes In kind ; when famished bands
scour the country and organize pillage; when the
peasant shall have to take up a gun to watch bis
crops; when the workmen, driven by bunger,
shall ail have given up their bodies;
when prostitution, grief, and want shall have made
them mad ; when bands of women, following troops
of National Guards, will celebrate the fetes of the
republic by horrible orgies; when the first stack of
wheat has been pluudered, the first church pro
faned, the first torch lighted, the first woman out
raged ; when the first blood shall have been shed;
when the first head shall have fallen; when the abo
mination of desolation shall have spread all over
France then you will understand what Is implied
by a revolution brought about by avocats, accom
plished by artists for, perhaps, to give the real signi
fication of the phrase, by ftiu (it liohcme, and con
ducted by writers and poets.
Tbe comparison of the hive of bees sur
rounded by flames and stinging each other to
death is fearfully appropriate, and no doubt
the dread of reactionary intentions gave the
first impulse to the Communists. If one
Government is at the point of exhaustion the
other is not far from it, besides being loaded
with a 'frightful debt. Production and com
merce are dead; Paris is literally blockaded
by the departments; the Conoiergerie is full
of priests; most of the churches are olosed;
the first murders have been committed on the
two generals weeks ago; and adventurers,
dreamers, and 'journalists rise to power like
bubbles, command like despots, and fall in
rapid succession.
FOREIGN NOTES.
An interesting report on the telegraphs
in China wis read by M. Tietgen, director of
the Danish "Great Northern China and Japan
Extension Telegraph Company," at the last
meeting of the company at Copenhagen. M
Tietgen said that the line between China and
Japan is sow open, and that there is every
reason to expect it will be ranch used. The
number of telegrams sent last year to China
from Denmark, bweden, and Norway was
140,000, and they are transmitted with far
greater rapidity than was at first expected.
The Russian and Chinese Governments have
fchown themselves very favorable to the un
dertaking: the former has given great facilities
for extending the line to Vladivostock, whioh
is to be tbe new Russian naval station on the
Pacific, its harbor only being olosed two
months in the year. M. Sick, who was sent
by the Danish Government to Japan on
political mission, put the company s agent iu
oommuxication with the Japanese aatuorititis.
the result being that a telegraph cable ha
been brought to Nagasaki, and a telegrapaie
line will be established between the Japaa
ports which are open to Euroaua. tun
telegraphists who Luve been sent to Chiua'
have, says M. Tietgen, acquired such a wm
tery over the Chinese language tbut thy no r
accept and Bend telegram m Chinese frutu
place to place in the empire. .
It is well known that Hindoos who have
caste to lose, lose it when they cross the
"black water" and vlit foreign lands. But
the forfeiture id usually compounded in a
pecuniary way, as persons who have brought
native servants from India are aware. It ap
pears, however, from an account given by
the Hatt Goftar of Bombay, that more par
eonal penalties are involved in some cases,
even to a vicarious extent. Thus Kur
sondaa Hadhavdas, having returned from
a visit to England to the bosom
of bis ' affectionate caste, the Nagur
Bania, brought the whole of them into
trouble. They dined with him; and dining
with a man who has visited England is looked
upon as a heinous offense by the other Bania
castes of Bombay and elsewhere, so muoh so
indeed that the offenders were visited with a
sentence of exoommunication. To obtain
readmission into the community of castes a
terrible expiation was necessary, and this came
off on the 7th of last month at a place called
Walkeshwar. Tfce soene was rioh in
tbe elements of comedy. First, the men
submitted to the shaving of their
moustaches, tbe yonng men and
small boys who had no moustaches subjecting
the hair of their heads to the same process.
After this to the nnmber of two hondred or
so they all bathed in a tank; and this cere
mony over, each member swallowed pills
"made of the five products of the cow,"
which was supposed to complete the work of
purification. They have thus been restored
to their caste privileges aud the advantages
belonging thereto in Bombay; but it seems
likely that they will be called upon to repeat
the penance before en joying similar impunity
in other places.
A Bnsso-German war would force upon
the majority of Russian officers a most pain
ful question of nationality. According to
the Golos, the proportion of foreigners serv
ing in the Russian army is as follows:
Among the privates and non-commissioned
officers there are 85 per cent, of Russians, 15
per cent, of foreigners, and of these 2 of
Germans. Among the captains and lieuten
ants there are 24 per cent, of Germans and
42 of foreigners altogether, to 58 of Rus
sians. Among the colonels and majors there
are 58 Germans, and 85 foreigners to 15 Rus
sians; and among the generals there are as
many as 74 Germans and 82 foreigners to 18
Russians. Thus, if Russia went to war with
Germany, the first thing that might happen
to her would be the loss of the greater part
of her officers; for though sixty years ago
Germans were ready enough to fight against
Germans, they would hardly do so now after
the regeneration of the empire. This cir
cumstance may be not without influence on
the affirmed improbability of a Russo-German
war.
