lic appearance of ono or the other so
ciety, under their respective colors, to
break forth into deadly violence. On
Friday last, tho Orangemen were to
have a parade, but fortunately they
did not. Several thousand men left
their work, and took up their positions
along the probable line of march of

spades and other implements. And all
this scene to be reenacted annually
on the 12th of July in a country three
thousand miles from the place where
the battle of the Boyne was fought,
two hundred years ago. We think as
this is a land for the oppressed that
both Orangemen and Ribbonmen
should bury their animosity in the
waters of the Atlantic, and come to
this country ready and willing to
abide by its laws. We hope the laws
will be enforced against the first offen

American citizens will be maintained.

ENGLAND, it is thought, cannot keep
out of the war, and the warlike prepa
lions she is making, give a touch of
surety to the belief. She is reshiP•
ping home all the arms sent to Cana
da to defend the Dominion against the
Fenian raids. We can wait with pa
tience the hour when she will decide
for war, and when that decision once
is made, then will come the "tug of
war," for Russia, Austria, and many
of the other kingdoms, will then bid a
truce to all neutrality.
Gen. Walker, superintendent of
the Census, proposes to give with the
returns of 1870 the population of
States, counties, cities, &c., of each de
cade from 1790 to the present time.—
This will make the new Census tables
especially interesting and valuable, as
the early census reports are almost out
of print.
A MAN named John Real was hung
in New York city on Friday last for
the murder of a police officer on tho
23d of July, 1868. Real asserted that
ho was doomed to the gallows because
he did not belong to the political ring
in power, which, if truthful, throws
some new light on the manner in
which the laws'are enforced in that city
PENSIONS or 1812.—There aro now
2,423 soldiers of 1812 and widows of

the Auditor General's office, but two
or three hundred of these old people
have died during the past year.

PRESIDENT GRANT'S opinion of the
war in Europe has been elicited. At
first be thought the war would bo
short—now he thinks it will be long
and that every power in Europe will
get into it. Ho thinks Mayence will
bo tho Fredericksburg of the war, and
may be, the Black Forest will be tho
Wilderness.
AN extra session of Congress will
not he called by President Grant. Al
though CongreiS did give our ship_
ping interests the go-by, yet the Pre
sident thinks that as that is the only
question to he considered, it would
not be politic to convene Congress.

Trial of Mowers and Reapers at the
Agricultural College, Pa,
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
August 4, 1870.
TO THE EDITORS OF •THE GLOBE :—TO
impart additional interest to "Tho
Harvest Home" instituted last year,
an opportunity was afforded to manu•
lecturers and agents to test the rela
tive merits of their Mowing and Reap
ing Machines. The trial of Mowers to
commence at 2 o'clock, r. H. on the
27th—of Reapers at 10 o'clock, A.
on the 28th July, 1870.
The trial of Mowers was witnessed
by four or five hundred, the trial of
Reapers by fifteen hundred to two
thousand of the citizens of the State,
most of whom seemed much interested.
On the 27th, after a plot had been as
signed to each machine and two or
three of the machines had opened their
respective plots by cutting it swarth to
and fro, the committee, the exhibitors
and audience were all riven by a hea
vy storm of rain and thunder from the
ground to the house and barn of the
experimental farm. On the conclusion
of the storm after the lapse of about
an hour, all returned to the ground
and the trial was resumed and conclu
ded under circumstances admirably
calculated to teat the merits and de
fects of the several machines. The
ground assigned for the trial was upon
that portion of the experimental farm
allotted to the experimental plots, but
not yet appropriated in the rotation of
crops impressed upon it in any specific
tests. It was covered by a third crop
of timothy and clover in the propor
tion of three-fourths timothy to ono
fourth clover. The clover had died
and the second crop of clover had star
ted to grow ; beside this, after the '
mowing last year there had been a vig
orous growth of timothy which had
died during the winter and which 'af
ter the rain formed a material to clog
and choke, difficult even for good ma
chines to overcome. The plots for the
trial of the Mowers were sixteen rods
in length by three rods in width. The
plots for the Reapers were forty-two
rods in length by three rods in width.
Both the oats and timothy were very
heavy and in many places fallen and
tangled. We tried to preserve a por
tion of our latest wheat but it ripened
ten days too soon for the exhibition.
I must hero add that the President and
Trustees, impressed with the extreme
difficulty in the present state of excel
lence of many of our best machines, to
avoid injustice in awards, inclined
strengly to the opinion that the com
mittee selected with great care should
regulate and control the trial but make
no award, allowing the largo and in
telligent audience convened from every
section of the State to form their own
judgment upon the relative merits of
the machines. This suggestion, how
ever, met with the disapproval of eve
ry exhibitor, who with confidence in
the peculiar merits of his 'machine,.do
manded not only the appointment of
the committee but an award of merit.
I am happy to enclose for informs•
tion of the readers of your valuable
journal a copy of the repevt of the
Committee whose laborions painstak
ing and ability was only exeelled by
their modesty.

and Professor of Agriculture and ex
officio a member of the Board of Trus . •
tees of Agricultural College of Fenn
sylvania :
The undersigned, CT eorgep W. Mc-
Dowell, of Clinton county, Samuel':
McKean, of Centro county, S. 11. Gra
ham, of Washington county, George -
Y. McKee, of Allegheny county,' and
R. It Bryan, of Huntingdo,n, Commit
tee appointed 'by the Trustees at the
instance and request of the exhibitors
to award upon the relative merits of
the several.llowing and Reaping Ma
chines entered for competition at the
Harvest Home 27th and 28th July,
1870, most respectfully report:
That the Committee after two days
spent in the trial and examination of
the machines bad only time prior to
their separation to exchange opinions
and arrive at general conclusions.—
They therefore authorized their chair
man, R. R. Bryan, to report the results
appending the names of the committee
which ho is pleased to do as follows :
Of, the eight machines presented as
Mowers, two, to wit, the Kirby and the
Champion, were single mowers and of
these two the Champion was consider
ed the best. The remaining six, to
wit, the Excelsior, the Keystone, the
World, the Hubbard, the Dodge, and
the Ohio Harvester, wore combined
machines, and as such we considered
the Hubbard the best mower of the
Whole eight machines on the ground.
It is proper to say that this particular
Hubbard machine is the property of
the Central Experimental Farm con
nected with the College—has been run
during this season and was on this oc
casion driven by the agent of the Hub
bard, J. It. Alexander.
The same machines were entered
for the Reaping contest, excepting the
two single mowers had on this trial
their combined machines which ar
rived too late for the mowing contest
on the preceding day. Throe of them,
to wit, the Excelsior, the Keystone and
the world, wore operated as Droppers,
and as in our experience many farmers
prefer the Dropper on account of its
simplicity of mechanism, we selected
the Excelsior as the most satisfactory
Dropper.
The Champion as a Self-Raker, in
view of the superior arrangement of
the reel-post and in other respects, was
in the opinion of a majority of the
Committee the beat Self-Baker.
And as a machine best calculated to
render satisfaction for all purposes of
the farmer who only desires to invest
in one—in view of simplicity of con
struction, of lightness of draft, and
other important features, a majority
agreed that the Excelsior was most
desirable.
Want of time (rain having occurred
both days) and the fact that no prepa
ration had boon made for a thorough
formal exhibition, occasioned the omis
sion of many tests and rules, which in
a future exhibition it would be proper
to supply; among which may be men
tioned a rule that all machines exhibi
ted shall be such as are made for sale,
and not finished specially for such ex
hibitions. Sufficient time should also
bo taken to test each machine thor
oughly and all persons except the com
mittee nnrl tip , exhibitor.; excluded
from the ininLcii.:oo vi ,, ,•lity of ?hi,
If the committee have erred in any
of their conclusions, duo allowance
should be made for adVerse circum
stances under which they labored.
Frank -B. Isett; exhibitor of the
Dodge, and who was a former student
of the College, bad a Binding attach
ment of his own invention 'on the
ground, which appeared simple in con
struction and likely to be easily man
aged and controlled, but Want of time
prevented the examinotion of many
points of alleged excellence claimed by
the exhibitors which commended them
selves to the . Committee. The ma
chines all performed well and no far
mer should hesitate about purchasing
any of those exhibited; the mare fact
of vicinity of the place of manufacture
or storage, so as to readily obtain du
plicate portions being sufficient to de
termine his choice.
All of which is most respectfully
submitted.

Prance and Prussia.
The Now York Globe ,says, what
ever the designs or imperiousness of
Bismarck, it is evident the blame for
the present European war must fall
upon the shoulders of Napoleon. Al.
ready are his hands red with the blood
of M. Provost Paradol. It is now be
lieved that this eminent French Min
ister and liberal was made miserable
by the part which he had been led to
play by the Emperor in causing him
to leave Prance at this important cri
sis, and sending him to the Great Re
public to appear as a partisan of that
personal government which he so hear
tily detested. The depression of mind
which this caused led the brilliant
Minister to take his life. Napoleon
could better afford to lose a battle than
to be tho means of causing the death
of such a man !
We are surprised that the Emperor
of the Fredch, in the face of all the
world, still insists upon going to war
"on a lie," as Senator Schurz forcibly
puts it. The succession to the Spanish
throne, is still held up the real object
of the war. France demanded that
Prince Leopold should withdraw from
the Spanish throne, and to prevent a
war, he did so, Spain accepting the
withdrawal. But this did not satisfy
France. Official advices from Berlin
state that France demanded a pledge
of Prussia that no German should ever
ascend the Spanish throne; that aile
lrenzollern prince should reside in
Paris as a hostage ; that a large sum,
of money should be deposited, to be,,
forfeited if the pledge was ever' br?.
ken, and that France should have the
keeping of the Rhenish Provinces
until the i ,delyth of,the last, ,Prince. Of
Hohenzollern. Such demands as thee°
Prussia could not, accept, and a decla
ration ofmai followed. , •
,
' • We claiin that until Spain• becomes
a province of France, she has a right
to choose bob ruler wherever she can
find' him.Astbo - Nittibn - of this"week
says, in an =able article• on this ques
tion : "The reappearance of a Bona
parto on the thrcine of France was an
express assertion arid vindication on
his part and. on that of the nation of
two doctrine's—of' which the attack
they aro now making
` on Prussia is an
open repudiation—viz: that every na
tion has a riht,to choose anybody it
pleases for .sovereign, and that no
choice it..cath mike gives any other
good reason for fear or complaint."—
This preaching was frankly accepted'
by the other powers of Europe in t'sl.
They did not proclaim war upon
France while the head of . a family
which had liken proscribed by the pub•
lie law of Europe as dangerous to,. its
peace put, himself on the,. throne of
France by a bloody revolUtion. If
Europe permitted Napoleon to rule
over France; what just cause of com
plaint can France have because a Ger
man prince is called to the Spanish
throne? It is only by the suffrance
of the great, powers that Napoleon is
permitted to rule 'at .all—his divine
right to do so is nowhere acknowled
ged. If France was satisfied with Na ;
poleon, the rest of Europe did not com
plain. So if Spain was satisfied with
Leopold, France had no reason to com
plain. The case of Maximilliau in
Mexico, which was so obnoxious to the
United States, was not a parallel one.
Maximillian was not the choice of the
Mexican people. He was forced upon
them by French bayonets. Mexico
was a Republic, and Napoleon attemp
ted to make a monarchy. Here he
recognized no right save that of force,
which is the power ho falls back upon
to compel Europe to acquiesce in his
dmands. So we have at this late day
what is ostensibly given out as a war
of succession,in which the principal ac
tor is elected dictator. Under these in
consistent and absurd pretensions, is it
any wonder that we detest Napoleon,
and pitytbe people which blindly fol
low the lead, while our sympathy goes
out to Prussia.? * * *
We love Fraoce none the less because
she is trampled in the dust by Napo
leon, but we cannot sympathize with
any ruler who professes to go to war
about so flimsy a matter as' the suc
cession to tho Spanish throne. If Na
poleon would not occupy a false posi
' tion,before the world, let him throw
this false pretene'e aside and proclaim
that the war is one of conquest, to en
large the boundaries of France.
It is singular that Joseph Robarge
brakeman, who was killed in the
Michigan Central accident at Wayne
the other week, had married the wid
ow of his cousin, Moses Robargo,
fireman, who was killed on the same
road a year or two ago. Thus the
poor woman is a second time widowed
by nearly the same terrible agency
which deprived her of her first hus
band.
The North Carolina troubles con

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE,
Fight at Weissenburg
BERLIN, August s.—The following
dispatch has been received hero from
Neiderotterback, a small village on the
Otter river, near Weissenburg, dated
six o'clock, Thursday evening : "We
have won a brilliant but bloody victo
ry. The loft wing was the atacking
party, and consisted of the Fifth and
Eleventh Prussian Corps, with the 2d
Bavarian. The force carried by as
sault, under the eyes of the Prince
Royal, the fortress of Weissenburg and
the heights between Weissenburg and
Gesburg."
Douay's division of Marshal MeMa
hon's French corps was splendidly de
feated, being driven from its camp.—
Gen. Douay was killed, and five hun
dred prisoners were taken. None of
them were wounded. Many ' Turees"
were among the captured. Tho Prus
sian General Kirchback was slightly
wounded. The Royal grenadiers and
the fiftieth regiment of the line suffer
ed heavy losses.
The Capture of Saarbruok.
LONDON, August 5.—A, correspond
ent, endorsed by the Times as trust
worthy and neutral, gives the follow
ing interesting details of the .battle of
Saarbruck : The French made some
prisoners but captured no cannon.—
They lost forty killed and sixty woun
ded. The French force in the battle
was estimated at 30,000, and the Prus
sians at 6,000. The artillery won the
fight. There was but little infantry
and no cavalry engaged. Three coin
paniesof theFortioth held their ground
against the French until the latter
force fully developed its strength. The
small force of Prussians then retired.
Battle at Woerthe---The French Routed.
BERLIN, August 7.—Dispatches have
boon received in this city from the
Crown Prince, Frederick William, of
Prussia, giving an official report of the
result of the battle fought near Bitcho
yesterday. The battle was fought be
tween the French right, under Mar
shal McMahon, and the Prussian left,
under the Crown Prince, commanding
in person, near Woerthe au Saur,
village of France,in the department of
Bas Rhine, twelve miles southwest of
Weissenburg, and ended in the total
defeat of Marshal McMahon, with the
greater part of his army. The French
were routed and daivon back in the
fortress of Bitche, in the department
of Moselle.
The Prussians captured thirty can
non, four mitrailleuse and four thous
and prisoners. The battle commenced
at nine o'clock'in the morning, and the

days,five hours,seventeen minutes and
fifteen seconds, defeating her oppo-,
neat, the Dauntless, by one hour and
four minutes.
There is no parallel contest or rec
ord. The surprise is universal that
the contestants should have reached
the goal so near each other. But it is
now. over, and the excitement which
has raged is succeeded by general
wonderment. For the time of year
the passage is regarded as a rapid
one, and the yacht deserves
all her well earned laurels. The re
ception of . the Cambria was, as it
should be, warm hearted, generous and
thoroughly appreciative.
As a triumph for. the science of nav
igation the race has never been equal-
led, and when it is . considered that
two vessels leave a point of departure
at the same moment, bound for the
same destination, nearly three
thousand miles distant, one taking an
extreme northerly passage, the other
cursing to the south,and both arrive at
the goal within so short a period of
each other, the triumph is made mani
fest.
A terrible storm passed over Mobile
