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.

eottntry for a I'nitesl Germany seems

Prison Management In Lancaster County.
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. There is no use in put
ting the 'i•nunty to the expense of trying
:mil convicting men for high crimes, it
they are to Ilirallitweij to eSCapt . :IS easily
as Le Barren intl. \'''t ,- venture the its
.q.irtion that their is no prison. of a like
character itt the world so Miserably
mismanaged as is that il . Lancaster
citunly.

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

in their schemes of phunler ought to lie
promptly repudiated and openly de

THE .I.eport that Commodore Van

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

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

put into their their placers. It is time thei 7 e

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

Verily the lowest depths of political

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 Radicals are endeavoring to bring
about a state of anarchy for political
purposes, but they will be foiled.

THE Virginia delegation in the pres
ent Congress stands live Radicals to
three Conservatives. The next will be,
in all probability, six Conservatives to
two Radicals. 'lie Conservatives ex
pect to do fully that well at the coining
election, and they may do still better.
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.
There will be at least three Demo
cratic editors in the lower branch of the
next legislature. I'. Gray Meek, of the
Bellefonte Irritchavin will represent
Centre county. Mr. Meek has already
served two terms. lie is a man of de
cided ability and great energy of char
acter. this speedy return to the House
shows that his constituents appreciate
hint properly.
J. I rwin Steele, of the Ashland Ail en
rate, W :IS one of the members from
Schuylkill count• last year, and he has
been renominated. Of course he will be
elected by a large majority. lle made
a faithful business member.
Frank .1. Magee, of the Wrightsville
bloc, has been nominated by the gallant
Democracy of York county. lie was
Major of the 4eventy-sixth Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, tool performed faithful
service during the war. lie was in both
assaults on Fort Wagner in :July, le(11,
and in many other engagements. Glo
rious old York county gives a solid
Democratic majority of three thousand.
Her Democrats are attic kind that have
been stigmatized as copperheads by the
loyal, stay-at-home 1 tadicals. 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.
Another Congress is to be chosen the
coming fall, anti the question is pressing
itself on the attention of the farmers

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.

The Prussian Military Machine.
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

He scouts not to see that a gradual reduc

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.
