Lancaster ,Pitelligencer. WEDNESDAYI AUGUST 24, 1870 Fruits from the Battle Field When Napoleon made demands upon Prussia to which she could not honora bly concede, every one on this side the Atlantic suppAed that he who threw down the gauntlet was prepared to cope with him whom he challenged. The military renown which the French had fairly won on so many bloody fields gave them a prestige as a fighting peo ple. It was well known that Napoleon's armies would be made up of magnificent material, and no one doubted that the hosts which advanced against Prussia would be marshalled by generals lit to handle them. It was generally expected that the Prussians would be beaten in the contests, but ( ;ern= firmness was expected to carry them through the ar duous struggle, without loss of honor or of territory. A fortnight has proven] sufficient to dispel many an illusion. The imperial structure reared by Napoleon, - which looked so formidable, has been shown to be the merest shell. The first telegram announcing mil i tary disaster had scarce ly been posted upon the bulleti n boards, untilall was anarchy in Paris. The masses clamorously demanded to be led to bat tle, but there tt•as no government coin- . petent to direct the energies of the peo ple. llad management in the field went hand in hand with worse management at the seat of the Empire. What won der then that we have had an almost un interrupted story:of Prussian successes. The fault is not with the armies, not with the commanders, not with the French people --the fault is with Napo leon and the system of governnwnt which was the work of his hands. He courted war and Lo has drawn down de struction upon his head. The best thing that could come ; to hint now would he sudden death on the ; ;11111 Le might rank himself happy if the fa td messenger met him in an hour when the eagles of I;rance were advancing in even a temporary victory.

The management of our County Prison has been very properly made the subject of no little newspape; comment. Under the system which has prevailed of elect ing inspectors, who elect a keeper, the Republican newspapers •of the county, have not hesitated to charge, that the office of keeper has been repeatedly bought and sold. It was openly an nounced not long since that one of the inspectors received money for his vote from the present keeper, and the sum which the virtuous individ ual got was named. We do not now remember the exact amount but it was something over two thousand dollars. Good, honest people wonder how a keeper of our County Prison can afford to pay such prices for votes; but only a moderate knowledge of arithmetic is Kuehl to show how a fortune can be speedily accumulated in that institution by a shrewd manager. The present keeper has prospered great ly, and he has invested his gains insub stantial real estate, which will afford him a handsome revenue for the balance of his life, and be ft rich legacy to his children. 'Whether he has invested as largely in government bonds as becomes a loyal officeholder or not, we are on- able to state. According to what Radical Republi cans themselves say, our county prison is a sink of corruption, and if one-half of what we hear lie true, there are of ficials connected with its management who ought to be consigned to some of the cells within its walls. Should jus tice he thus done to them, we would respectfully suggest that extra precau tions be taken to prevent them from makiiip their escape. Somehow our costly prison seems to be a very insecure place for the confinement of criminals. The e capes which have occurred have been greatly tore numerous that they should have liven under proper inanage 'mint, and it is really hard to account for some of them without suspepting that there has been I . olllliVallee an the part of some official inside the building,. If the escape of Le Barren had been purposely planned by the authorities at the prison they could noLhave managed the matter 'more skillfully than they did. Ili , was put in a cell directly above I limos, and in the very cell front whirls II:million escaped. The repairs on the cell must either have been done by a brainless mechanic, or they must have tacit purposely so done as to be easily undone. With a small wrench and a file or saw Le Barren f o und ilOiliineilliy . in Making his exit. lie broke out of jail without more trouble than one of his trade encounters in breaking into an ordinary dwelling. IL did not re quire a display of :my great skill in the hurglarious art for him . to escape from the cell into which he hail been put, after making threats to the ktx , pers that he would break jail if he..wriviveti a sen tence for more than Ie; or three years. What a commentari does this furnish upon the in:magi/nen t of our County Prison. It cost eibiugh iniall conscience to build it, :111d )1 ought to lie secure.— The expenses ,iti running it are suffi ciently large to allow the employment of faithful, sober and intelligent watch men ; or, if they are not, :11l extra ap propriatimi ft the purpose should at ellee be I , llilde.

THE LANCASTER WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1870. The Thug Organ The editor of the Erpress lashei him self into a terrible fury over our etposi non of his bargain with the King of the Thugs. His assertion that what we stated was untrue will he taken for just what his word is worth—which is noth ing. In the meantime the facts stand. A correspondent of the Examiner shows how Republicans look at the matter.— He says : The simple fact that Brubaker is at work for McClure and Reinoehl, shows pretty conclusively that they both have a secret understanding with him, to do his dirty work next winter. It also proves that Brubaker and Geist are pullingat the same strings—one openly, the other secretly. Brubaker is quietly for:McClure and Rein oehl, and openly for Wiley. Geist is open ly for Iteinoeht and McClure, and quietly for Wiley. So the ring•is complete. This is Thuggery under its new organization, and its new form. Brubaker and Geistare its head centres. If this is not so, why does Brubaker work for McClure, and u•h,y does heist keep silent about Wit,y, whom he knows to have j(u•ored the hilt to rob the ,Yinking J•S ou t last winter' Who are Thugs.' There is the whole gist of our article, taken from a Republican newspaper. \\it'd!' the past year the cloak of as sumed honest• has been stripped from the shoulders of the editors of the Ex , pl.( 50 and the opinion new prevails almost universally in the ranks of the Republican party that it is a perfectly mercenary journal, which can be hired to speak out or to keep silent by any one who will pay the price demanded. The charge has been repeatedly made that the editors of the .E.rpr ,, , have sold their editorial columns to candidates in the county. They deny the charge, but, it is boldly asserted in well i n ed Republican circles that there are men ICI ready to swear that they paid their money down and got labored editorial puffs in exchange for their cash. I 1 f the Eri I, So lets no bargain with I leorge Brubaker, how does it happen that it makes no assault upon .John E. \\ lie voted for the robbery of the Sinking Fund on every occasion except the final passage of tile bill, and would no doubt h;n•c voted for it then if his vote had been needed. We have heard it stated that Sam Moon released Wiley ! front the responsibility of voting for the big steal" on its Boat passage, in order that his return to the Legislature 'night not be prevented. And yet the does not denounce this rooster, who is recognized as Brubaker's put candidate. What more is needed to prove that there is a distinct understanding between the editors of the J.:f r o,. and the King of the 'flings, or to establish the fact that the .b.1.rp0., has become the recognized organ of the Thugs since Brubaker lost control of the Inefulo r In Pursuit of Knowledge The 'Frvasury Clerks in \Vasltingt.ii :UV terribly \vorl:etl in inaldng up prirto• statentents for \jive President l'ol fax, Senator and other I le publicans, to prove the CColl , lllly of tilt` I ;ran( .kdministratioil, and the extrav aganee of the Johnson Administration.

Tit E Democracy of \o•thampton re fused to endorse the course of Represen tative Vim Anken, the Congressman from that district. lie voted for land grabs and other jobs in which the Rad ical majority were interested. We are glad to notice this evidence of indepen dence on the part of the gallant Democ racy of Northampton. Any Democrat who can lie induced to join the Radicals in their schemes of phunler ought to lie promptly repudiated and openly de nounced. THE .I.eport that Commodore Van derbilt was suddenly stricken down by apoplexy turns out to be a heartless hoax, originated for stock jobbing pur poses by some desperate rascal. The New Thug Organ The Express dodges the charge that it is pledged not to say one word against the renomination of John E. Wiley.— With the record before it which shows that he voted for the " big steal" every time up to the final passage of the bill, and with all its fierce denunciation of that swindle still fresh in the remem brance of its readers, it has not one word to say in denunciation of this Thug rooster. It devotes whole columns to the defamation of Dr. Gatchell, whose rascality was less in degree than that of Wiley, but not one word of condemna tion does it utter against the pet candi date of George Brubaker. What more is needed to prove that a corrupt bargain exists between the editors of the E.,press and the King of the Thugs ':' The in ternal evidence is sufficient to convince any man of ordinary judgment that Geist and Brubaker have united to put through a legislative tieket which has been agreed upon between them. The Eriirc , 6 seems to think we have no right to meddle in this matter. We beg leave to differ with it. For years past that paper has professed to be more honest and moral than the other Radi cal journals of this county. By hypo critical cant it has secured a circulation among the temperance people, and to some extent among the more religious portion of the community, It masked its rapacity and venality while levying black-mail upon candidates for °thee, and played the pious dodge to conceal its corruption. Now that its tricks have been exposed it scolds like a very drab, and presents a very pitiable spectacle of impotent malice. After denouncing the Thugs for yeani it has formed a co alition with the King of the oath-bound Laud, and is doing his dirty win.]: effec tively in a sneaking and underhand manner. It would be nineh more to its credit if it came out openly and advo eated the claims of Wiley, instead or aiding hint all it can in a covert way.— The truth is it dare not say one word against him. The bargain made with Brubaker stands in the way, and all its denunciations of the " liig steal" are quietly covered up, and not a Nvord of them retiniduccd, because the Chief of the Thugs has so ordered. We think Brubaker Tilled not llepilire Lis loss of el/tarot over the i/OpliC//, Allee lie has managed to make the Expo so his organ. Ballnt•Ilux Stullers the above caption the Colum bia ,‘;p2/ has the following editorial item: As these (ballot-box stutter', are not all dead yet, we would advise the honestly disposed voters to keep a sharp look out on the day of our election. We all know that the people have been often defrauded of their choice, and that candidates really laminated have heen counted out anol dishonest morn stealthily put into their their placers. It is time thei 7 e was a stop to this thing% Ilore is a nice charge to come front a Republican newspaper. It is an open declaration that in this county "candi dates really nominated have ofhit been counted out and dishonest men stealthi ly put in their places" under the Craw ford County - 4 . ystein. Can any man conceiveof a more corrupt state of atrairs than that which must now exist among, the Radical politicians of this county When a _Republican newspaper feel& impelled to expose such rascality, and solemnly warns its own party that what has been dome is again con templated, nothing more is needed to prove the utter rottenness of the concern front top to, l“,ttoni. c o noto riously has the practice of " counting out" been carried on that candidates who feared such a result were author ized to appoint watchers to see that a fair count was made of the ballots cast at the Republican primary elections; but those who are postedsay that this has not proved to he a check upon rascality. It is now boldly asserted that certain candidates will be returned as nominat uo setup , r p, nldu utui// Verily the lowest depths of political degradation have been reached by the Republican party of Lancaster county. It is high time for all limiest men to cut loose from sueli organization. The Polltical Prospect A reliable gentleman from Tennessee informs the Itufralo Cour , r that the coming election in that State, will de velop at least seventy-live thousand Democratic majority, and that at least seven out of eight of the Congressional delegation will be Democratic. At present it i • solid Radical. first and Second Districts are the only ones in which the Radical,: have the ghost of a chance. 'the First is the district of Butler, of cadetship and pension stealing notoriety, mid it is that also in which resides Andrew Johnson. It is believed that a Dennwratic Representa tive will he elected there, this fall. The Second is Horace Maynard's district, and it may possibly elect a Radical. In the Third District, which elected Stokes, two years ago, the I tanocrat...; are sure of . - i,lollnutjwity. These are t h e districts of Eastern and Southern Tennessee.— n the live others, in the north and west portions of the State, the Demo crats will ineet scarcely any opposition. Although considerable bitter feeling continues to exist between parties, the condition of Tennessee will compare favorably with that of ally Northern stale. Law and order are everywhere maintained ; outrages on lice or proper ty are scarcely heard of, and the terri ble "Ku Klux," if it ever existed, gives no signs of having a present being.

The end of Radical iloininat ion in Con gress is coining. Dic.ciat. J. .7%lnition.l., the great steel monopolist, has been renominated for Congress by the Radicals, but not with out opposition. Mr. Morrell represents the Johnstown Iron Works—not the people of his district. He ought to be defeated? The Radical politicians mustered in force, yesterday, and from early morn until dewy eve, and even until long past mid-night, they were busy fixing up a slate. We could not learn what the set-up was in regard to the Legisla ture or Recorder, but all agreed that B. F. Kready, Esq., was to be made the " ring candidate" for Solicitor to the County Commissioners. He has a broth er in that body, and we understand that the Board was unanimously in favor of Kready, Jr., for Solicitor. We believe the object of the law making the Solic itor elective, was passed for the purpose of giving the people a chance to put an honest and capable attorney into that office to look after the interests of the county. If the Commissioners are to "set up" the candidate under the Craw ford County System, the entire object of the law is defeated, and it might as well be repealed. The Commissioners' office of this county has been the sub ject of grave suspicious, and it was hoped that some reform might be effected by putting in a capable and honest Solici tor. The " ring" have made the selec tion. It remains to he seen whether their action will be confirmed by the Republican voters of the county. The Repress has professed to be the foe of the "ring." What has it to say in re gard to this matter It is not an unim portant one. Democratic Editors In the Legislature.

The nom ination of Major Magee is another refu tation 4,1 the oft-repeated calumny that Democrats nominate soldiersonly in the counties where theyare in the minority. We expect the Democratic editors named to set their faces sternly against every kind of corruption in the Legisla ture, and to lead in retrenchment of ex penditures and reform of abuses.

Congress, after spending more time during the session on the tariff hill than oil almost all other subjects combined, just before adjourning, passed a tax and tariff bill together, which, while prfe fessing to reduce the taxes so burden some to the people, at the same time very ingeniously' le ISIS the tax or tariff on what the people are consuming, reducing it where it need not be reduced, but adroitly 11,1( INiuy it where it is al ready too great—all too in the interest of monopolies.

The Democratic P)ramid The State elections of 1;-70 have al ready formed a tine pyramid of Demo cratie States. Look at it : Democratio mojoritif, ((regon :;ot Connecticut North Carolina Kentucky Tennessee New York I t thus appears that in these six States there is a Democratic majority consid erably exceeding, 200,m0 votes. These triumphs have been won over and in despite of negro suffrage in thickly set tled negro districts. The Republican pyramid stands thus: Rhode Island 5,000, A widow recently married a -Wiscon sin farmer, and after living with him three days disappeared, leaving him her children to " raise." Dishonesty among Republican Office- Under thr above heading that able and independent Republican newspa per, the New York Sun, exposes the corruption which prevails in official cir cles at Washington, and the improper character of the men whom Grant has appointed t 6 fill important offices. It says: We hear from Washington that the charge of forgery has been so far substantiated against Roderick It. Butler, Republican member of Congress from the First District of Tennessee, that a warrant for his arrest has been issued. It seems, however, that there is great difficulty in finding him, and it is supposed that he may sueceed in evad ing the punishment due to his crimes. It is rather surprising that the authori ties' at Washington should move in this vindictive manner against Butler. The amount of money realized by him was com paratively small, and the evidence against him has not yet assumed any form to make the facts legally certain. Besides, why should he be punished? Would it not be much more consistent with the prac tice which prevails under the present Ad ministration to appoint hint Assistant Secretary of State? Or, if that place is already satisfactorily tilled, he might be appointed assistant to Admiral Porter, with the nominal title of Secretary of the Navy. This Administration is de voted to honoring men, who, for largo sums of money, betray their constituents and defraud their clients; and why any discrimination should be made against Butler it is difficult to understand. Instead of bringing him to Washington under ar rest, President t.%rant ought to send a special messenger alter him to tender him an ap pointment to some high office. The Reason for Republican Defeats Forney's Washington Chron kir_ howls over the defeat of the Radical party in North Carolina in the wildest manner. It proposes all sorts of desperate expedi ents for regaining the last ascendency ot the Republican party. The Pittsburgh Comnurciu 1 takes this incendiary sheet to task in a summary manner and tells the truth in the following paragraph : The Washington Chronic/e fairly shrieks over the defeat of the Republicans in North Carolina, a result for which that paper, and the set it represents, are chargeable with is full share of responsibility. It calls loudly for the healing of " dissensions - in other Southern States: but with blindness and fatuity, which ever characterize ambitious and selfish leadership, insists that all who differ with it shall surrender their opinions and truckle to the clique who as much as anything else have wrought the mischief. It is unquestionably true that the North Carolina defeat should inspire Republicans in other States to unite. But there never can and never should be a union of political adventurers reckless usurpers and aVarici s,us corruptionists by whom, as in North Carolina, taxation has been piled mountain high, and the public debt enormously in creased. It is management of this kind that has produced the result in that State, and we have no right to suppose that there will be a materially different result wher ever similar causes exist. The naked truth is, the time has como for rebellion against speculating politicians; for entering the solemn protest of the people against the mania for managing party politics and running party machinery to make money. That it is the settled determination of ;he people to enter their protest against these things, no observing man need be told, not in North Carolina, or in any Southern Slate merely, but everywhere. And no where is this determination more extensive or unalterable than herein Allegheny county. 011=2 Governor of Texas per , istently vetoes all railroad aid bills.

The present Prussian campaign is de veloping the wonderful power and perfec tion to which the military system of that monarchy has attained. The principle that every citizen owes his services to the coun try lies at the foundation of this great or ganization. By law every Prussian is a soldier. Prussia has been spoken of as an army holding a country rather than a coil n try flaying an army. The regular army consists of men from twenty to twenty-live years of age, in which all must serve three years, except professional inert, students, Re., whose term of service is one year. This terns being served, the Prussian en ters the Liffidwekr, or militia, which is ili vided into two levies. Tho first comprises all uteri front twenty-six to thirty-two years of age, and in war is employed the sante as the regular artily. The sec ond levy consists of men from thirty three to thirty-nine years of age, and is liable to be called out in time of war for the purpose of garrisoning the fortresses. There is also an irregular force (Lonillterm) composed of men of over thirty-nine and under sixty years of age, which is, how ever, only a local force for defensive, pur poses, and is never called out except in extreme eases. NVlien war is declared there is no delay. The militia, so-called, but who are in reality graduates of the artily, are, besides, regularly drilled every year, so that triton they aro sum moned to arms in any Village or town on ly a few hours elapse before they are yin :gently in the ranks, on the Stay to the point , hero their services are re quired. Another important fact, which gives an unparalleled fiteility of inovenient to l'russia's military operations, is that they are not encumbered with :in unwieldy commissariat, but in towns where there are no barracks the troops are quartered upon the citizens. A European eorrespontlent states that the city receives them from the government and the individual IlunilieS from the cite authorities, with no privilege of appeal. Por their keepinz an establish ed allow ance is afterwards paid by the gov ernment. For example, when 1 leiditlburg lately received her quota, this instruction concerning them appeared : Ths: tis•rteit (the quartered still shall be contented with the hoard oniltmd by the quarterer and his family. Wine, lieer or cigars they shall not dettiand.

Scenes on the Battle Field of Worth Tho Now York Tribune has received 'lid followink by cablo from a special corresz pendent now with the Prussian Army: "Tho swift and skillful movement against Weissen burg, resulting in complete success to the German arms, was but a foretaste of the storm which threatened the northern part of Alsace. On the second day after that of Weissen burg came the bat tle Worth, and the Crown Prince gained a victory over the ablest General in France. It is ailmitted that the French fought with reckless courage, and that they inflicted heavy losses on their opponents • but the fact of this bard fighting and of this heavy loss shows how serious a defeat was sus tained by MrLdllabon. "I traversed the field while the dead still lay unburied on the trampled ground, and could form n good notion of how the fight had gone by the ghastly evidences which remained. Worth is at the bottom of a for tile valley, between two ridges of cultivated ground. There is much of wooded land in the neighborhood ; anal especially behind the French position or on the western side of the valley, there is a strip of forest which forms a cover for retreating troops. the little river liruder, not big enough in Summer titre to float a skill, flows through the village, and a high road conics winding down toward the village on the eastern side of the valley, flanked by trees. Here was the Prussian position. Stretching far to right and left along this road wore heaps of spiked helmets to be seen ; and tart loads of neeille-guns were collected under the trees. At I:distance the French musketry fire had told more heavily than the German ; and I heard that din French artillery had been very well served. lint though the burying parties \vitro with the tierinivit dead oil the East ern sick• of \\"ortli, there wits more than an exyliange of slatightv‘rous work on the Western side.
