VerY few reasonable people, outside of .France,,,can have regretted to. see Prussia rise to the rank of a first-rate European power. There was need of such a poWer, to balance or restrain, not so much France, as Napo leonism. The creation of such a power, by (imaging Austria and absorbing a number of mainor. German States, ought to be considered a very good thing for Europe in general, and for the _ Gerniaits particular.. , I:'or;,after all, the people of Hanover, Hesse, and the other annexed States, were _Germans, and they were merely joined to another German State. They lost none of their political or social institutions, and they ought to, and will, consider that it was a blessmg to have been relieved of their separate dynasties and courts, which possessed neither power nor laignit• • But The French people cannot but look gipthe-aggrandizement of Prusida_with jealoui3 eye; for after Great Britain ceased to attempt to check Napolepnism, French vanity thought that France could directand control all of Western and Central Europe. The Prussian victory of Saodowa was felt almost as severely in France as it was in Austria, and the Emperor Napoleon, although apparently appeased by the :concessions made about Luxemburg, has not ceased to cherish the idea of getting satisfaction out of Prussia in some way, if ever an opportunity offers where he can undertake it safely. He is now cunningly making use of Prussia,.'s violation of . the Treaty of Prague, so far as it relates to the Elbe Duchies, as means for enlisting Austria and Russia on his side.• Both those governments are said to have remonstrated with Prussia on this subject. This was to be expected of Austria, but the motive. of Rus sia has not yet been made clear. The Empe .ror of Austria needs an ally like Napoleon, and he will accept him, even though he must regard him as, in a certain sense, the. mur-, derer of his brother Maximilian. He is going to Paris, in spite of this murder, ostensibly- to see the Exposition, but most probably with a view to consult with Napoleon as to the best means of checking Prussia and avenging Sadowa, Those who have wondered to hear that Ffrancis Joseph was going to Paris so soon after the tragedy of Queretaro may now be able to understand his motives. As to • e object of the Czar of Russia, in joining • Co and Austria, no satisfactory explanation be offered. But when Ale i v ander was in lands, the cunning Napoleon probably presented to his mind in strong colors a picture of Prussia - become a dan gerous,tielehlAGAliattuay stir np_rrevolt:in Poland, and seize that kingdom as' suddenly as it seized some smaller 'German kingdoms last year. At any rate, the presence of such a powerful neighbor on the border of Poland is likely to be provocative of' disa&ction there; and it may be well for the Czar to give trouble to Prussia at the West; to pre vent her creating a trouble for Russia at the East. Whatever may be the . reason, it ap pears that the Czar has. written to King Wil liam urging him to adhere to all-the stipula tions of the treaty of Prague. The three rival powers of Prussia, to wit: France, Austria and Russia,are thus united in a demand upon King William. If they fail to effect their object by negotiation and correspondence, thq may resort to more urgent measures. It is a very clever thing in Napoleon to have thus brought Russia and Austria into virtual alliance with him against Prussia. How will Bismarck' answer this move on the chess board if • FELE . CHOLEICA - OF ISI7. If the Eastern cities have been spared any visitation, this summer, from a cholera epidemic, it is probably owing a good deal more to the favor of Providence than to the sanitary officers or the person's charged with the cleansing of the streets.' The eccentric movements of cholera have long puzzled physicians and all others who have attempted to. establish theories concerning it. Usually it travels film the East'. to the West, and several times its progress has been distinctly traced from India, to Egypt, to Europe, and across the ocean to America. Often, how ever, it has spared many large tracts of coun try, leaping over them and attacking places hundreds of miles westward. Often, too, it has broken out suddenly in single localities, and, after raging furiously, suddenly depart ed, without spreading to the surrounding country. This year the cholera has suddenly ap peared at various points in the ihr West. No place east of the Mississippi has had it in an epidemic form. It has been most violent and 'fatal at Fort Harker, and other placeS in Kansas orftlie line of the Pacific Railroad,and it is worth while to inquire whether the turn ing up of the virgin prairie soil, by the 'rail way laborerS, may not have helped to gene rate the disease. The lahorers are usually newly-arrived foreigners, who ate unaccli mated, and they are peculiarly susceptible to disease of every kind. From them cholera spreads among other classes, and it has been pretty severe among the military at Fort, Harker and elsewhere.. But it appears to have won exhausted itself, and its visitations have been brief at everyplace where it has appeared. Reversing its usual course, the cholera, aftei visiting Kansas, has now appeared on the-Mississippi. At Memphis it is prevailing quite badly, Wand although the local papers make no mentipu of it, there are rumors that as many as fifty - fatal cases a day have oc curred. Further down the river it has Also appeared, and a good many canes, have beam teported at New Orleans, though it cannot be considered epidemic there, On sonic of the Louisiana plantations and in Texas, there have'also been visitations of the disease, • ac companied in some cases with yellow fever. Those persons who have had faith hi the theory Utot the vilolera &kiwi moved through the atmosphere in waves from the East to the West,. must be embarrassed by, its singular movements in the interiot of this continent in the summer of 1867. Who knoiirs but that it may come from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, as it hap come from Western Kansas to the Mississippi? --- THE REMOVAL ,OF • - The rumors of the purpose of the President to remove General Sheridan are taking more and more definite shape, and there seems to be a strong probability that Mr. Johnson really contemplates the monstrous folly of striking this blow at an officer who, next to Gi,neral Grant, probably the most popular, soldier in the United States:. General Sheri: clan tines not suit the President's' purposes. He is too down-right in his loyalty, too direct and honest in his policy, too fearless in his administration, too uncompromising in his dealings with rebels, in a word, too closely in sympathy with the great4oyal heart of the North, to carry out the crooked, insincere, truckling policy of Johnsonism. He is in the way of the rebels, as he ever was during the war, and therefore he is in. Mr. Johnson's way, and he proposes to remove him. Mr. Stevens's Reconstruction Bill protected the district commanders; in the discharge of their duties, from the displeasure of, the Pre sident; but the Senate, in its wisdom, struck out that feature. from the bill.. But the prin ciple still remains.. Congress has imposed ,specificsliffies,md_clinfemed_vecitle lowers upon these district commanders. The Presi dent, if he is correctly reported, has resolved to punish General Sheridan for performing those duties and exercising those powers. The . Presidential organ, the National Intel ligenecr, has pro Claimed to the country that "the President will cheerfully and promptly enter upon the execution of the Reconstruc tion act of the last session of Congress, giving, if occasion requires, explicit instructions to the commanding Generals. The utmost care will be taken to guard against - any possible collision With the generally un derstood 'wishes of Congress." But ,before this semi=official proclamation has had time to be fairly circulated, it is asserted that the President contemplates an act in direct violation, not only of the "generally understood wishes of Congress," but of the well-known wishes of the people. The re moval of General Sheridan,• and the re-in stallment of Governor Wells and the Other ,displaced officials, would be,in direct . disobeL dience to the spirit of the law of Congress, and would probably settle the impeachment question at once and forever. But the obviousness of the result is no reason why - Mr. Johnson may not commit this folly. His consciousness of hiS exclu- Sive wisdom is so strong that it is not likely that he' will really appreciate the cone ' quences of his arbitrary policy until he has forced upon Congress the last alternative „of impetiehment. Firmness and self-reliance are two of the first elements of greatness and strength in a ruler; but when they are forced beyond . their health ful and lawful exercise, they de generate into obstinacy and self-conceit, and become as potent to break down influence and popularity .and power, as they are, other wise, to build them up. • The programme for the removal of Sheridan of course includes the appointment of his successor, and several Names are mentioned in this connection. Generals Thomas, Meade and Ifinpock are spoken of, but it is easy to see how reluctant either of these officers would be to assume the position into / which they would be thrust. Apart from the re linquishment of their present important com mands, either of these distinguished officers would be immediately placed before the country as in contrast with General Sheri- clan. It would be assumed, arid with much fairness, that the new appointment had been made with the under standing that the policy of Sheridan was to be reversed' and undone; and no officer's popularity can pOssibly survive the odium of 'such a position. Sheridan has won the hearts of the American people by the exhibition' of those blended qualities of sagacity and clash ing fearlessness which have been irresistible in all ages, and most ungracious will his task be who is sent by the President to supersede the people's favorite "Phil. Sheridan," and to set up Andrew Johnson and his "policy" in his place. The case of Roger B. Taney has not yet been forgotten. When Mr. Duane, for his brave refusal to remove the government deposits from the United States Bank, was re moved byPresident Jackson, Attorney-General Taney Was appointed in his place and promptly Carried out the behest of his impe rious master. But he never recovered from the effect of • his submission to that behest. The Senate rejected his nomination,and after wards refused to confirm him to the Supreme Court, and it was net until the death of Chief Justice Marshall and the revolutionising of the Senate in 18116, that he succeeded in ob taining his seat. He was despised by men of both parties, as they contrasted liis subser vience to the will of Jackson with the fear less integrity and boldness of his predecessor. The present case is a very similar one, and the President, inltmoving General Sheridan, Will not only do' him a great wrong, but he will place his successor in a dilemma from which no ingenuity can extricate him. Slielidan's plan is the - people's plan, and the plan'- of Congress. Who ever attempts to carry out a t contrary policy will not only fail in the attempt, but will be held responsible for the failure by Con gress and by the people. The policy that Con gress has adopted for the South is the only one that any officer has a right to carry out, and it is grossly unjust in the President to force upon soldiers, who have won a glorious repu tation with the country for their gallant deeds in' the field, the execution of, his will in the militaiy districts of the South, and so drag - them down under the ruin which' he is so eagerly preparing for himself. The Japanese eevermnent does not seem to put a very high estimate upon human honesty, judging from the treatment of its employes in situations where they enjoy_ op portunities for stealing.. For instance, in the mint at Jeddo there are about. 3,00 persons employed. In the morning, whenthe work rut n enter the establishment, they cast off their greet garb and don gt‘rnaeuttJ belonging TAB DAILY EVENING 131 7 0,ET1N.-PIIILADEWITIA. TUESDAY. JULY 30. 1867. to the government. At sunset the gong is sounded, the employes strip to the skin, loosen their hair, and submit to be searched by the officials in charge-of the place. They are then direeted to wash their hands, lift up their arms, drink ft glass of water and shout. These proceedings having been gone through with, the workmen are allowed to resume their wearing apparel and retire for the night. Any "Jap" who would succeed in making anything extra after going throUgh that ordeal would be a good acquisition to the "Grand Antipodean Alliance." When om nibuses -were first started in Philadelphia, boys were employed to sit outside the door of. the 'bus and :receive the fares: -These young gentlemen almost invariably suddenly became "flush," and they spent money w ith a freedom that excited sus picions that they were allowing themselves a large dividend on the gross receipts. Au in genious and able-bodied lady, who was ex tensively engaged in the omnibus business, con ceived the happy idea of taking the boys by the heels after each trip and shaking them,head downwards, until the contents of their poc kets rolled out upon the floor. She would then gather the "fir's" and "levies" that were 'scat tered about, and send the enterprising youths forth to a new harvest of sixpences. But the boys got to be too sharp for Madame,and they were finally abolished, and the drivers were appointed to collect the fares,andthey in turn became objects of suspicion, and "registers" nd - other detective-applinnces-were-resorted to with indifferent success. _ Nobody seems to have thought that the simplest and justest means of getting over the difficulty would have_been.to pay men : _and boys fair living wages. and thns command the services . of those who could be relied upon_ If there was any stripping, washing, shouting, or shaking by the heels process, to cause a disgorging of ill-gotten greenbacks among Government em ployes of the- ,present and the recent past, what a return it would yield to the national treasury? "Shoddy" contractors during the war; swindling officials who imperilled men's lives by sending them to sea in vessels fur nished with crazy appointments in order that knavish scoundrels might fill their own pockets; official villains, who risked fire results of important campaigns in order that they might make a larger dividend of . plunder by having inferior clothing, arms,- provisions and munitions of war generally sup lied to Cite men who Were in the field or afloat. Many of the subordinate in the Internal Revenue Department, at the present time, would shake and strip well, unless they are most terribly belied and appearatices arc very deceptive. The Japanese plan perhaps would be inapplicable to this country;. while taking the knaves by the heels • and shaking them would not be. effectual among rogues who are not only proficient . in the art of stealing, but who also understand how to liide what they have stolen. A special meeting of Select Council was called for last Saturday afternoon, for • the purpose of considering a resolution for the , appointment of a special committee to hives tigate the chargeS of_riat_and_o_utrage made by the Hope Engine Company against the • Moyamensing Hose Company. The meeting was held; but before any business could be transacted three members, to wit: James D. Campbell, James. W. Hopkins and Henry Marcus, the last named being a member of ' the Moyamensing Hose Company, retired from the Chamber, leaving the meeting without a quorum and a preventing the transaction of any business. These three men are all sympathizers with the Moyamensing Hose Company, and in full accord with Alderman William McMullin and Common Councilman Barnes, the leaders of the rioters upon the occasion referred to. The Moyamensing has attempted a defence of itself by representing that the Hope also was in fault. The course pursued by its . official hackers is sufficient proof that they have. no Confidence in the sufficiency of this excuse, for innocent men never shrink from , strict inquiry, and investigation. The com munity holds Alderman William McMullin and Councilman W. H. P. Barnes guilty of a scandalous riot and of a gross otage, in their official cha 'meter;against public decency. They are already arraigned at the bar 'of public opinion, and if they can make no better defence than legislative trickery in the chambers of the City Councils or sharp legal practices in the way of "how not to do it" in the courts, the public verdict will be Guilty, and the public will demand that the offenders shall receive the punishment due their crimes and. their disregard for the sanctity of the places which they hold and disgrace. A great city of 800,- 000 souls will never consent to have killer rule re-established in any part of it, nor will the people suffer they official representatives to wink at or, by implication evcn, encourage such assaults upon decency and order, as those that have been made so frequently by Williain McMullin., and upon the 15th of the present month, by Councilman Barnes.' Let us have an end of this ruffianism, outlawry and official blackguardism. Drowning cases seem to be;more frequent this season than ever before. Several are re- ported every day; as occurring in the Dela ware and Schuylkill, and at the bathing places on the sea-shore there have been more than usual. Boating excursions have been lament ably unfortunate at different points along the coast. In nearly every case of drowning while bathing or boating, sheer recklessness is the cause. But it is useless to admonish or instruct people in regard to the dangers they are exposed to.on the water. A catastrophe like that at Mount Desert makes only a mo mentary impression upon the general public; While the drowning of a bather at a fashiona ble sea-side resort.does, not interrupt the gaiety for a moment, Herr does it make other bathers more careful.
