FRY, Rapho. County Solicitor IL C. liREAbY, City. Jury Commissioner BA:VID BAIR, City. Auditor. STLOCH, Columbia, THE Napoleonic Dynasty concluded an eventful reign in twenty-eight days. War was declared July 15th, by the Corps tegislatif. Saarbruck, the first skirmish, Was fought Aug. 6th. Napoleon and the whole army with him surrendered Sept.2d—in all, twenty-seven days. Such a war was never known, such successes never before chronicled. Gen. Von Molkte was the soul of the German army; to him belongs the honor for all the stra tegic movements of the victorious Prus slabs. The Situation in Paris Marshal McMahon's army has surrender ed; Emperor Napoleon is a prisoner; Em press Eugenie, after pronouncing Napoleon a coward, leaves Paris in haste and unat tended, to join him ; the young " baptised" Prince Imperial is also a prisoner, and a closely attended guest of King William. What remains of the French army is, with the exception of a small division, shut up in Metz, Montxnedy, and other small places. Immediately upon the announcement in Paris of the surrender of the Emperor, the new French revolution set in. A Republic was proclaimed from the Hotel de Ville, a committee of defense appointed, a ministry announced, and a new order of things everywhere substituted. The pro visional government had hardly been or ganized before ,they issued a circular con taining announcements second only in im portance to the dispatches reporting the overthrow of the Empire. The revolution was peaceful. The Turneries, with all tneir imperial glory were ransacked by the ex cited Parisians, and every vestige of Bona partism destroyed,: SO much for the fallen Empire:: ' The French Republic;defined its position in a remarkably defiant cireular, referred to above, in these words: "The policy of France is peace, leaving, Germany master of her own destinies. The wing of FrtitsfahaS sidd'that he made war againsttlie dynasty mid riot against France. 'Yet the dynasty is, gone and,France is free; yet this impious war ,continued. Will the King face this responsibility before the worliVand%before history ? France yields not one focit:ofseil, not. one stone of a fort ress. A shameless-peace means extermin ation of nue cause and that of Europe. We are iindisniayed. The army is resolute and provided;: Three, hundred thousand men can hold Faris to_ the last. They can hold the city for three _months and conquer. If crashed, France Will arise and avenge it. not Europe know that the Ministry have no other aim or ambition than peace ; but war proving Inevitable, we will continue the struggle, confident of triumph." Eiere, is defiance, even in spite of French , • humiliation. The new government can not shill . the' responsibility of the war upon king William., The whole civilized world will bear bins that be did not_ de : . sirethe Conflict, that he renounced the Ifo henzollern ctindidacy, and that . he engaged_in the war only when' an, invading . army had eccupled the Gernattn . frontier. The corps rattiest unanimously de clared for war, and the, whole French na tion shouted "Qn to Belgium I" " To. the FAinelr and "Tiver • Empereur." A half million of men marched to the frontier and Millions more were promised. France ap plauded the conflict. All Paris 'was wild with excitement when "Louis and I" were first baptised with fire, and when the in fant son filled his pockets with bullets, and caused the soldiers to weep at his tranquil ity 1 Frande was anxious for the conflict. And when the victories at Wissenburg, Worth, Forbach and Garvelotte followed in such rapid succession, bringing disaster and humiliation to the French armies, new armies were raised, and, if we are to rely on French telegrams and papers, hundreds of thousands of willing and self-sacrificing Frenchmen were rushing to the conflict. The Empire meant War, the people meant War—who can deny it, who has the hardi hood. But, as the Press says, a new govern ment is established, when lo I with a grand flourish of bravado, it declares " Prance is peace," and in her name ignores all respon sibility in connection with the war, and coolly says to Germany, "Take your armies home and mind your own business !" The weather is getting cool, but we must say that this is the coolest thing of the season. Gentlemen, it will not do ; you are wrong. You assume too high a position entirely. If you want peace, if you want a free gov ernment, you must be willing to come down and treat for peace. King William is Willing to make peace. So is Bismarck. But it cannot, in all justice, be expected, that Prussia will quietly retire from France without indemnification in some way. What it may be no one can tell. In ano ther place in. the Srr we give three propo sals, either of which, the aespatch states will satisfy Prussia. With Republican Prance our sympathies will be strong, but not with a defiant, boasting, lawless and Intolerant republic. - Prussia will, in right, demand guaran toes of permanent - Jesting peace, and as she was forced into the conflict, and has lost terribly thereby, in men, money, commerce and national wealth, she can of right de mand indemnification. America extends her Sympathy and sup port in behalf of the you ng republic, and we hope to hear of speedy peace with King William, and a new era of prosperity for France. The honor of the German's Fa therland has been maintained. Prussia has been the mighty agent in the probable redemption of the old world from the thral dom of Kings and tyrants. Events are fast crowding into history. The la Republique! Fears are expressed 'in Paris that Gen. Bazaine, who is penned up in Metz, will be forced to capitulate in a few days, as he is now reduced to sore straits for the lack of provisions and ammunition. The French consul a Basle telegraphs to the Government that. the garrison at Strasburg made a succesaul sortie on Tag day night, killing eight or ten thousand Prussians, and capturing many guns. Protection to Native Industry, This is the title of a very interesting volume, written in the interest of British workmen and manufacturers, by Sir Ed ward Sullivan, Bart., author of" Ten Chapters on Social Reform," and several other thoughtful works of a like nature. Slowly but surely the free-trade sp. tents are being exposed. Even yet many leading men in England will not see the but even Johnny Bull will come to see the truth when the tripe of hunger is upon him. This work is written in a fair and impartial spirit, with the elegance of a scholar, the accuracy of a scientist, and a depth of research and comprehensive ness of idea not unworthy of the true philosophic mind. The growth of trade; free trade and free ports; unfair competi tion ; labor ; cotton ; the French com mercial treaty with England : reciprocity, and many other points of great interests, are most ably and exhaustively treated. The present destitution of the English masses is examined and traced to its true cause, while the remedies are . clearly and boldly suggested, In his preface the author presents with elegance and succinctness the question of Free Trade versus Protection, and we can not do better than present it entire to our readers : Editor " Protection to Native Industry is not a question of sentiment or theory, but of fact and common sense. There is no magic or mystery about it; it is an ordi nary calculation of cost, in which all the conditions and figures are perfectly well known. Wages in France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria and Switzerland are from 30 to-50 per cent. lower than in England; rent, clothing, food, beer, taxes and gen eral charges are all in the same propor tion; the habits of the people are eco nomical in the extreme, the manufactur ers have as much capital, science, and en terprise, and their operatives as much skill and intelligence and technical educa tion and industry as we have ; they get their raw materials very nearly at the same price we do. The question is, can our manufacturers, with higher wages, higher rates and taxes, higher general charges, and our operatives, with dearer feed, dearer clothing, dearer house rent, and extravagant habits, produce as cheap ly as they can ? " A large and l rapidly increasing num ber of those interested, in our industries throughout the country, of all political opinions, say, openly and decidedly, they cannot; a still larger number, agree with them; but they have. not yot the pluck openly to avow it; they are unwilling to desert theirleader, and to confess their preaching has been vanity. " It is assumed that protection to native industry moans protection to corn ; but this is nbt.so on the contrary, the object .of those who advocate protection to native industry, is to wipe off entirely and abso lutely every remaining tax on feed, on raw materials of any and every description; and to substitute for it a tax on foreign manufactured goods. We are teld,that the present distress (in England) is owing to the, increase of :population ; but the increase has not been in,the producing class-only; the consum ing class has increased quite as rapidly in proportion, probably more so, as they rear a larger proportion, of their children and do not emigrate; and their wealth, which is the gague of their consuming power, has iacteased far out of. all proper tihrt to the increase of the producing part -of the population. It is not that the pro ducing class, bas. outgrown the consuming .class, but that the latter, are induced to :spend.their money on. foreign, instead of 'home manufactues.. " The remady, fa the present state of things is not tp,export our workmen and import our manufactures, but to keep our workmen and manufacture for ourselves. "England is the only country in the world that does not in sbme shape or an other protect native indnstry, and pre serve a preferential market for its own op eratives. Theoretically, it may be very chivalrous ; practically it is very stupid— c'est beau, nzatt's c'ese bete." Any intelligent man can apply these principles to this Republic and they will see in our prosperity, our wealth, and our peace, the results of protection to Ameri can industry. Much of this book, of course, is strictly English, having, indeed, been written for that people; but it has a great valie and interest for us, as an evidence of the fail ure and approaching decay of free trade principles in England, which weak men have attempted to foist upon the working class of America. The 'War News in Brief. We can best convey an idea of the Prus sian success by giving our readers the fol lowing brief dispatch BERLIN, September 3.—The King has teleglaphed to Queen Augusta announcing the capitulation'of Sedan and the surrender of the Emperor. The following is the King's dispatch in full " SEDAN, Friday, Sept. 2, 1:20, P. M.—A capitulation, whereby the whole army at Sedan are prisoners of wt r, has just been concluded with General Wimpfen, ,am mantling in place of Marshal MacM.d.on, who is wounded. "Tae Emperor surrendered himself to me, as he had no command, and left every thing to tne Regent in Paris. " Ms residence 1 shalt appoint after an interview with him at rendezvous to be fix ed. "What a course everts. with God's guid ance, have taken ! Krso WILLIAM." Yesterday's latest news represents the military authorities of Paris continuing he preparations to meet the advancing Prus sian army, which is reported approaching the city, but the Provisional Government seems equally active in its efforts to secure, peace. From all points come reports of me diation. A secret treaty of alliance, offen sive and defensive against Prussia, is said to bepending"beb.veen France and Russia. On Wednesday Minister Wash burne had an interview with Jules Fevre, at which he announced that the American Government had recognized the sister Republic of France. M. Fevre was much moved, and, grasping Mr. Washburne by the hand, he exclaimed: "I receive the notification with gratitude and profound emotion !" There is great satisfaction throughout France at this action of the American Gov ernment, and the people seem to think the United States will interfere in favor of peace. Great crowds of the Garde Mobile and citizens carrying the French and American flags made a demonstration on Thursday before the American Legation, in gratitude for the recognition of the French Republic. The part of Lorraine now in Prussian hands, and all of Alsace, it Is thought will probably represent the territory to be de manded from France as an indemnity by Prussia. The Prussians were expected to appear before the walls of Paris yesterday, The total number of troops ow andern arms at Paris la ono hundred and forty thousand.

On account of this, it is so much the more important that you elect good QM TUE Tribune's correspondent reporting an interview with Bismarck after the bat tle of Sedan and surrender of the Empe ror, inform s us that the Count pointed out three courses for Prussia to take a choice between : one was to convert Al sace and Lorraine into a neutral state, as Luxemburg or Belgium—interposing this between France and Prussia, like a fender between two ships, or a buffer between two cars; or, second, the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine as conquered terri tory, thus advancing the Prussian frontier westward ; or, third, the capture of Stras burg and Metz, with a view -to hold these two cities in the future as key-posts against a French invasion of Southern Germany. Of these three plans the third was 13is marck's favorite. The Beading Convention The attention of all good men is now turned to the proceedings at the Reading Convention, held last Wednesday, Aug. 31. The object of the convention was to take such steps as would secure a repre sentation for the minorities in the several counties, as well as in the State at large. The preliminary proceedings of the Con vention possess no interest,consisting main ly in the presentation of credentials and the appointment of Crmmittces. Geo. Lear, of Bucks county, presided. The followine resolutions, to which we invite the attention of every citizen inter ested in reform measures: Resolved. That the practice, which has grown up in the Legislature of Penn, sylvania of submitting all matters of lo cal legislation to the exclusive control of local Representative, has practically plac ed the local, political and business inter ests of minority. constituencies requiring l legislatio n , at the mercy of majority local trepeesentatives, and has afforded such a contioued series of wrongs and of petty oppression, as.loucily calls for reform. Resolved, That we can conceive of no other remedy for such wrong and oppres sion, except in a system which will secure .to each local minority, as near as can be, its proportional share of local representa tion. . Resolved, That such minority represen tation will not only remedy the wrongs of which we more especially complain, but will also tend to lessen unjust, and illiber al partizanship, and to promote greater purity in legislation. Resolved, That a fair and proportionate representation of minorities by Districts is not only just, but is in accord with the spirit of all our State political systems, which provide for the election of-Legisla tors by the districts in order to protect the minority at large from the unjust domina tion of the majority, as Veil as to guard the interests of localities, and which we propose now to supplement by placing the local. minority beyond the reach of the un just domination of the local minority. Resolved, That in view of the taking of the present ! census and the approaching Legislative re-apportionment of the State, we recommend the passage of Acts of As sembly by the next Legislature embodying the principles of minority representa tion in reference to the Legislature,Boards of County Commissioners,,Directors of the Poor, and County Auditors, as well as township and other offices. Resolved,. That we recommend the pas sage of an. Aet of Assembly providing for a Constitutional Convention, to be com posed, of members elected on the minority principle, and to such convention, in making the many constitutional reforms so loudly demanded for years, we respect fully recommend that the principle of minority representation be embodied in the new constitution of our Common wealth. .Resolved, That we tender our hearty congratulations to the people of Illinois for their great and salutary advance in the art of self government, by adopting the 'plan of the free vote, for the election of Representatives in their Legislature ; and for the choice of Directors and Managers of all incorporated companies in their State; and that we pledge to them our best efforts to extend this wholesome re form which they have begun, so far as our power and influence may extend, to .Federal, State and Municipal elections confident that thereby we shall promote the best interests of our whole people, joined together in a union of free institu tions. Resolved, That the people of Pennsylva nia of every political party be invited to unite in promoting the important objects embodied in the foregoing resolutions. Resoivecl, That the Chairman of this convention shall appoint an Executive Committee of twenty-one persons to serve during the cowing year, uhose duty it shall be to use all proper measures to promote the objects and purposes of the above resolutions. Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed, who shall lay the proceedings of this convetion before the nest Legisla ture, and who shall be authorized by means of an address, and by personal in tercourse, to enforce upon the members of the two Houses, the objects conternla ted in the resolutions passed by this. CDn• veation. Ex. Sen. Buckalew was invited,to ad, dress the convention, when he commenced by stating that the free or cumulative sys. tem was not, and could not be made a party question. He explained the system to be the right to distribute or concen trate the vote of an individual among the candidates presented for his choice. He contended that.in_the Courts of Justice, the Judge should' be of different political complexions, so that when a citizen went into court he could see a political friend upon the bench. As long as this element of injustice is in the system of political elections, there must be disturbances.. He would also apply it to the election of Auditors, to the tax Boards, &c., so that every man who pays taxes should have a friend there; also to the election of bor ough officers. In Bloomsburg, where the cumulative system is in operation, no man can be found in opposition to it. This curb is needed in the cities especial ly, if purity is to be preserved and cor ruption in elections is to be prevented. He contended that the reform would reduce the expenses of elections, so far as the amount expended by Committees, by candidates. &c. In 1868 there was expended in this state $1,000,000 to in fluence the Presidential election, and why was this expended ? Not to get honest votes, but for the purpose of obtaininc , the balance of power in the state. The party which spends the most money anti stoops to the vilest measures in the state will win under the present system of vo ting. Piesett Objects elf Synreath.7 I. Napoleon 11. The Tranquil Infant.

Thew march ing by way of Calcutta and the Cape of good hope ou Dublin—but we refrain from further following their brilliant cam painn. Moreover, they argue, if the great military nation of France can be overthrown in four weeks by an army of Germans, who, it is proverbial won't fight, how long can effete England hold out against an army of Irishmen, who will fight on the slightest provocation ? France they say, will form a Republic; and such an example the Irish cannot resist. The politics of Mark Tapley are henceforth no longer a matter of doubt. He was a true Democrat, ,born for an editor of one of their leading orgaus.—N. Ti•antitc. What liezt. It is the hour for a French republic. Defeats are precious to nations that are wise to learn from misfortune. Has not France had a sufficient trial of imperial ism ? Will she ever again consent to kiss the hand of a Bonaparte ? Is she not tired of crown and scepter ? Let her now rend the purple robe asunder, and forbid a Frenchman ever again to be an Emperor'. From the day when Napoleen, without just cause, declared war against Prussia, we have longed for his overthrow. When King William lifted his hand to Heaven and exclaimed, " God is my witness that I am not the author of this war !" all the world believed be spoke the truth. It was a war made by the French Emperor, not by the French people. It has in six weeks destroyed the career of its author. The civilized world pronounces the verdict that Napoleon has met a just fate. We look upon his Waterloo at Sedan as a be nignant interference by Providence on behalf of the Emperor in the rise of popu lar liberty. The chief benefit from the war is to come to the nation that has been the chief sufferer by the var. France, and not Prussia, is to reap the great re ward from this harvest of blood. As the defeat of Lee was the regeneration of the South, so this over throw is the freedom of France. True, that beautiful and afflicted country sits now awhile in sackcloth and ashes; but the day of her deliverance is near at hand. The French government has been conquered: the French people can never be conquered. As soon as they awake to the necessity of governing them selves, they need not fear that they, will ever be governed by Prussia or by . , any other nation in Europe. ,A Frencli re public could bid defiance to a continent of enemies. King William's victory cannot yet be politically weighed. He is a brave and honest man, but also a tyrant. He holds to A the doctrine of the divine right of kings—which has no parallel for absurdity save in the dogma of the infallibility of Popes. He is at the hedd of a govern- I ment which for despotic power is tine- I qualed by any other in Europe. In Prus sia every citizen is a military slave to. the_ king, held to service by a rigor which if if attempted in America would: destroy the government in six hours. The one re deeming trait of Prussian, policy is that, while it is despotic, it,is a- despotism in fa vor of industry, education, and morality. A crown is unbecoming to any human brow, even to , King William. God far bid that the _victory of Prussia shall lend any now luster to king-craft I Our hearts lsop within. us at the prospect of a united Germany; hat if While France gets rid of one emperor, Germany is to he burdened with another, the French defeat will be a greater gain to France than the German victory to Germany. We are suspicious of all monarchical institutions, in whatso- ever attractive form they present them selves to the plaudits of a deceived peo ple. The populace in Berlin are shouting themselves bows° over the king's tri umph. Who knows but that in the fur nace-heats of this war the king means to forge a chain , for the captivity of all Ger many ? lie make no such charge against Gen. 17'oltko's war-strengthened monarch. But the•price of liberty is eternal vigi lance-. The eyes of the world are now drawn. on Prussia, to see what a use her king will make of his marvelous good for :tune in the field. He is another Charles ,I of England in his jealousy for kingly prerogative. His natural temptation will be to lift an iron hand in menace over Central Europe. It remains to be seen whether Bismarck, who is his other self, possesses, with all his other greatness to be just to his countrymen. At present, popular liberty seems nearer to its suc cessful establishment in France than in Prussia. " Sweet are the uses of adver sity." It is but a step from Sedan to a republic. On the other hand, never in all history has a conqueror had a nobler opportunity to cover himself with immortal glory than King William now possesses, if he shall prove himself - sagacious enough to seize it. That opportunity is for a union of all Ger many not into an empire, but into a it - - public. If at the head of his victorious legions, after having conquered a peace, lie should say to all the sons of his father land : " Men and brethren, I take aff my crown ; I make myself no longer a king, but a citizen ; I propose a German repub lic, and a free election to determine a president; I wish to dig leaving behind me no vestige of a tyrannous government over the Saxon race; I base my future fame on the safe corner-stone of a Ger man democracy, with political equality and popular liberty "—such an act by such a man, at such a time, would put his name at the head of all names in human history.—N.
