THE WAR FLURRY
__The pretext on which France threatened to
make war upon Prussia has been removed by
the withdrawal of Prince Leopold's name as a
, candidate for the throne of Spain. Under such
circumstances, it might be supposed that there
was no longer any danger of war. But the
French people and the Paris papers still talk of
war; military and naval preparations are going
on briskly; deputies in the Legislative Body,
representing both parties, are clamorous that
the Goveriament should attack Pros - Ma, or let
the people' know why it does not, and a minis
terial crisis has arrived because M. 011ivier, the
prime minister, is in favor of peace: The Duke
of Gramont, who made the threatening speech
against Prussia a week or•more•ago, , is said to
_have resigned, and it is expected that he will
be joined by the Minister of War, General
Lebceuf, and the Naval Minister, Regault de
Glenouilly. They do this because they do not
approve of 011ivier's peace
It would appear, therefore, that the Emperor
Napoleon, Arho has been thought to be most
eager, for war, is, after all, inclined to act rea
sonably, for M. 011ivier must be obeying his
master's orders. But still the warlike prepa
rations show that there is still some idea that
war may ensue. The Prussian government,
which has behaved with great dignity and pro
priety through all this flurry, is offended at the
conduct of France, and is quietly but energeti
cally preparing for the worst that may come.
It — this worst slfould - he war, it must be re
garded as the wanton, unprovoked work of
France. Prussia appears to have had nothing
to do with the nomination of Prince Leopold:
and if she bad, his Withdrawal would still be a
sufficient - atonement - for the offence or mistake.
whichever it might be. We do not believe
there will be a war, but if there is, France
will have to be held responsible for it, in the
eyes of all civilized nations.
TUE HOWARD INVESTIGATION.
In accordance with the announcement made
a week or two ago, the House Committee that
has been investigating the charges made against
General Howard, has presented two reports.
The majority report is signed by all the Repub
lican members of the Committee, and com
pletely exonerates the General from the accusa
tions of Fernando Wood. The minority ` re
port, offered by the two Democratic members,
on the-contrary, asserts that the charges are
proved. This is exactly in accordance with
the custom in such cases. Congressional in
vestigations nearly always leave the disputed
questions unsettled, because they are too often
begun in a partisan spirit, conducted with
reference to partisan results, and the investi
gators in most cases care more for the further
ance of political designs than for reaching the
exact truth. But in this particular instance
we have a right to look beyond the two official
reports of the Committee, and to consider
some other circumstances connected with the
These charges against General Howard were
made by Fernando Wood, notoriously one of
the most corrupt and dishonest politicians in
the corrupt and dishonest Democratic party.
ln this report the majority say : "Who is the in
ventor or instigator of these charges it is not
the purpose of the Committee to inquire. Mr.
Wood disclaims all personal responsibility fur
them. The evidence which he adduced was
not evidence tending to establish the accusa
tion, but was nearly all of it experimental or
of inquiry." If we remember rightly, Mr.
Wood when he made these charges did assert
his responsibility for them and claimed that
he was able to prove them. But whether this
is correct or not, he know very well who insti
gated them and for what purpose the assault
was made upon General Howard; and the ma
jority of the Committee also know, though
they do not choose to say so. The story will
bear repetition. General Howard had a quarrel
with the Rev. Mr. Boynton, a Washington
clergyman, whose son, General Boynton, is
the Washington correspondent of several WeSt
ern journals. The latter individual vpoused
his father's cause and determined to use his
influence in Congiess and the new'SpaThArs to
destroy General Howard's character....ln pur
suance of this devilish design he trumped im
these charges, and knowing that every Repub
lican and every honorable Democrat would
regard such'a contemptible method of revenge
with scorn, he selected the meanest Democrat
in the House, and asked him to he his
instrument. Fernando Wood perceived that
this was a good chance to strike a blow at the
Freedmen's Bureau, at the Republican party,
which triad organized and maintained that ex
cellent Institution, and at the character of a
man whom he regarded with the hearty hatred
and jealousy which corrupt men alivays feel for
those who are better and purer than them
selves. But even this unscrupulous politician
wished to know the ground upon which he
was to tread, and so he asked Boynton if the
charges could be substantiated. To this Boyn
ton replied : " We will start them on him any-
IoW;" He was sure :That they would find
ready credence with the Democratic party, and
.with that class of men who . rejoice when an
honorable man is - dragged down into the
dirt. • •
The investigation was ordered, and Boynton
I egan to use his facilities as a journalist to
prejudice the country against an accused
man, who was entitled at least to a suspension
of judgment until his guilt was proved. I u
their - report the majority say :
" While the examination was goirik onovith
closed doors, under a pledge p 1 ,wcresy
pose.d on the-Committee, counsel and._parties,
Intorre - ct statethents, - purporting to bo• rep orta, •
of the testimony, were spread extensively
through the country, most injurious to Genei
ral Howard and without support in the
dence."
This was the work of Boynton, who was asl .
sisted by the Associated Press. The cense=
quence was that the whole case was pre. 7
judged, and General Howard was condemned
upon what is declared by the majority report
to be false and insufficient evidence.
As this was a Democratic conspiracy, it was
a foregone conclusion that the Democrats upon
the Committee would give a verdict in ac
cordance with the requirements of their party;
and this fact, with the general character of the
whole affair,makes their testimony unworthy of
evidence. Besides this,the character of the men
who sign the two reports must be considered;
Most of those' upon the Republican side are
men of unimpeachable integrity, who, if
General Howard were guilty, would regard his
condemnation as an act of justice to the Re
publican party and the country. At least one
of the Deraocrats, Mr. Rogers, is known to be
• a brainless blatherskite, whose appointment to
the Committee on Education was a bit of
sarcasm, and who is the best tool that could
have been selected for Democratic pUrposes
from all-the weak Democrats in Congress.
-In such a case as this, too, it is right that the
- character, reputation' and services of General
Howard should have great weight against
charges made by -such a man as Fernando
Wood, in the -interest of the Democratic party.
General Howard has won a place in the hearts
• of loyal American citizens . because he fought
splendidly in the recent war, and presented the
unusual spectacle .of -an able soldier, who,
while he did good and valiant service in his
country's cause, was not afraid to be an ear
nest, consistent Christian man. Before we
will • condemn-such •• a - public -- servant
as he .has -been; we must----have
overwhelming evidence of his guilt.
The ;nalignant. accusations of a wretched con
spirator ince 'Boynton, who disgraced his posi
tion, • • •.
as a journalist gratifylis privateliatredS,
and the cold-blooded falsehoods of such a man
as Fernando Wood, have not a feather's weight
in the balance against General Howard's repu
tation. He will not be hurt by this investiga
tion. The people will accept the majority re
port as a complete vindication, leaving the mi
nority report to be used by the Democrats as
they may see fit.
THE CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION.
The people at large do not yet appreciate the
services which are being rendered to this com
munity by the quiet operations of the
.Citizens'
Association. This excellent organization has
already accomplished an amount of good which
makes little show in any particular locality, but
which, in the aggregate, is reforniiiig some of
the most stubborn abuses which exist in this
city. The demonstrations made by the Asso
ciation on the subject of street railways have
had a most happy effect, and almost every com
pany in the city is diligently at work repairing
the streets. Numerous small stumbling-blocks,
dead trees and other eye-sores-are fast disap
pearing from view,, and without bustle, and
mainly through the moral suasion of courteous
individual requests, Philadelphia is being quite
extensively " cleared up,"
The gentlemen actively engaged in this good
work deserve every encouragement from the
people. The Association should be kept lib
erally-in-frinds—by-constant-additions-fo-its.an-
nual membership. Citizens should furnish to
it prompt information of all forms of nuisances
and public annoyances that fall at all within
the scope of its operations, and as it thus gains
strength, both numerically and iu the confi
dence of the people, it will be able to pros
ecute larger and still more important reforms.
We hope to see, iu time, an influence ex
erted, by the good example of the Citizens'
Association, upon the various departments of
the City government, which will lead to a far
more vigorous' enforcement of our city ordi
nances than is now common. Every item of
work now done by the Citizens' Association
ought, to be done by some official now am
pointed and paid to do it. Long neglect of
much of this work has gradually made it ap
pear impossible, in the eyes of those whose
business it is to attend to it. But as the Citi
zens' Association goes on to demonstrate the
practicability of enforcing our municipal laws
and regulations, the Board of Health, the Po
lice Department, the Highway and other De
partments will be encouraged and stimulated
to do their own proper work, instead of leaving
it to be done by an independent organization of
private citizens. We look forward to this as
the ultimate result of the present most laudable
and efficient labors of the Citizens' Associa
tion.
CONGRESS.
To-morrow the second session of the Forty
first Congress will be brought to a close. There
will be very few people to regret this, for while
there have- been few - mischievbus .measures.
adopted, there have been so many crude, un
digested projects introduced, and threatened to
be enacted, with reference to the currency and
the finances, that business men have been kept
in continual uneasiness. The tax-tariff' bill,
as finally adopted, contains . some good pro
visions; but, to the disgust of ,everybody, the
detestable income tax is embodied in it,
though at the reduced rate of 2), per cent., and
with the exemption raised to $9,000. This tax
is to be levied for 1670 and 1871, but we are
strongly in hope that it will be repealed at the
next session of Congress. The funding bill,
as finally passed, seems to be unobjectionable,
but it remains to be seen whether people, at
home or abroad, will be eager to exchange
their present bonds for the new ones -at 11, re
duced rate of interest.i;.
The failure to pass a bill for the re-admission
of Georgia to• representation in Congress is
greatly to be deplored. The President and his
cabinet ministers have all been anxious to haw)
her admitted, and it is the fault of Congress
that no plan couldbe -agreed-upon by the two
houses. As matters now stand there - is a
member of General_ Grant's cabinet from a
State which is: without representation in Con
gress. Thii anomaly should have been re
moved before the , adjournment. We have not
been the adVoCates ef' hasty re-construction;
but now that'theWar •has been ever iiire years,
sufficient time, hgis been. allowed to complete
the work. Georgia, • it' is true,. haS behaved
badly, ' and Congress - did right 'to punish
her- ; ••• but the punishment • bee • been

about __closing _there __should have__ been
some plan (revised for her readmission. It is
understood that the President and Attorney:
General Akerman are of opinion that Georgia
may liOld an election next fall, antis° when
Congress reassembles next December, her
members may be ready to apply for admission.
With all that it has done, and all that it has
failed to do, Congress• adjourns not a day too
soon for the good of the community; for mer
chants, manufacturers and business men of all
kinds have been kept in suspense and appre
hension. It is to be expected that' there •will
be a‘revival of, all kinds of trade, now that the
policy of the government and its laws are un
derstood and fixed for a time at least.
TUE WORKS OF GOTTSCHALK.
At the time of the death of the distinguished
composer and pianist, L. 'Moreau Gottschalk,
there existed a considerable collection of un
published works, notes of professional travel
and other interesting literary matter, which, as
we are glad to learn, 'aid now being collected
with a view to their publication. This task of
editing and publishing Gottschalk's posthumous
Works has been undertaken by his _siiiter; Miss
Clara Gottschalk, assisted by an intimate
friend of the deceased artist, Mr. R. N. Espa
dero, of Havana, himself a musical composer
_of _high standing.
As this edition of Gottschalk's posthimous
music will be the only authentic one, his faultily
desire to call the attention of the musical and
literary world to the fact of its 'approaching
publication, anticipating the possibility of some
spurious issue' Of Works purporting - to be from
the pen of the . distinguishad musician - •
. . .
We are glad to see such a general and earnest
demand, both in this country and in England,
for a searching investigation into the boa.); per
petrated tom the London Post, in An an
nouncement of - a massacre of the Christian
population of Pekin. The publication of the
alleged massacre in London was immediately
transmitted to this country by the vigilant
agent ot,the:American , ..Press_Association,and
soon afterward by the slower medium of the
Associated Press. Although there was no real
connection between the two events, the
.con
firmation of the Roumania massacre, which
had just reached this country through the en
terprising correspondents of the New York
11c-raid, seemed to prepare the public . mind to
hear of similar ontrakes in other parts of the
world, and there was a svide-spread feeling of
horror and indignation at the scenes of blood
and cruelty which were alleged to have - been
enacted among the defenceless French men
and women in Pekin.
• Later dates from Pekin bring no tidings of
any such occurrence, and there Can be little
doubt that a heartless hoax has - heen - perpe
trated upon the London Post, and. through -it,
upon the civilized world. There ought to be
means devised to ferret out the scoundrel who
set this wicked story afloat, and, if it really
reached the Post by telegraph, and was not con
cocted and palmed off in London by some in
genious forger of telegrams, it does not seem
very difficult - to trace it back to its source,
coming, as it does, from a Country where there
are. comparatively . few Europeans capable of
concocting or executing such a cruel hoax.
A drug-store was set on fire-yesterday morn
' ing in the southwestern part of the city. There
is - little doubt that it was done by some of
the incendiaries that are connected with cer-

business appears to be to create opportunities
for firemen's fights, either by fires or false
alarms. On this occasion the flames were soon
extinguished, and then the fight took plan ;
two fire companies,'that haie long had a
belaboring each other with spanners, 5:011..S
and bricks. More danzerons weapons were
also used, and two men were stabbed. Is the
Chief Engineer going through the ceremony of
declaring the companies engaged in this riot : 0 '
be out of service for a little while ? .Or are
these disgraceful and almost daily outragee of
the firemen and their followers to go on. until
the whole Volunteer Department is de-la: ,, d
forever out of service ?
The Chinese government has ,L;ven s.x
thousand taels,—equal to about nine thousi..ed
dollars—to defray the expenses of Mr. 1.;;:r
-lingame's funeral. It has also given ten thou
sand taels,—equal to about fifteen thousand
dollars,—to his widow. And yet the Finied
states government not only refuses to give a
Paltry pension to the widow of a murdered
President, but in the Legislative branch of it
her name, her character and her affairs an ,
made the subject of scandalous, unmanly coin
nient. Really the semi-barbarous Chinese
show more of Christian charity and generosity
than the boasted Republic of the United States
does.

than 'in any other, and if he refuses to desist
from it, then they ought to lock bini up. Ho

prevent an appropriatian of only live thou
sand dollars to a loyal American citizen,

ference on the Georgia bill, submitted a re.port
that the conference could not agree. He then

and the committee called together again.
Mr. Howard agreed, and withdrew his r..-
port.

,--The'ath that cannot be Broken.
The following information has been received
from private ,parties who have just returned
from Cuba: . • ' -
Of the thirty Masons who were lately im
prisoned in the 4orro Castle in Havana,
charged With having held secret Masonic
meetings, twenty were admitted to bail on the
22d of June. Those that were released were
Spaniards, and their bail was given by
Bpathards. The other ten Masons still
incarcerated are Cubans, and now lie
in the noisome dungeons of the Carcel dc
la Habana, the most noted jail in Cuba.
A short time ago one of the ten, whose
name for his own sake we cannot publish,
was taken from the Carcel and whipped and
scourged with sticks to oblige him to tell what
he knew about the revolution. But he, like a
man as well as Mason, refused to do so. He

he became sufficiently emadiated, they again

the building of ships for foreign trade.
Mr. Chandler said in 'reference to the bill
called up by Lim that it was earnestly pressed
by the Administration,.and that it was most
important in view of the European war which
was now imminent. ,
Mr. Sherman thought the third section was
important; there were an immense number of
foreign vessels engaged in trade with the
United States, and several foreign steamship
lines to this country; in the event of a general
war it would be essential; for the protection of
these vessels, that Anaerican registers be is
sued to them.
Mr. Bayard and other Senators suggested
that the questions involved in the bill were
too vast to be considered in the few hours of
the session yet remaining, and it was sug
gested then to strike out the first part of the
bill, which suggestion was acquiesced in by
Mr. Chandler.

TUE HOWARD INVESTIGATION
Vindication of tlieVenerai.
The Tribune says:
The charges brought by Fernando Wood
agai . G en. Howard have resalted in majority
and minority reports of the couninittee. The
majority very properly review the great work
which has been accomplished in the elevation
of the freedmen. This is the enduring Monu
ment-Which- all the - violence of abuse-and-fac
tion cannot overthrow. Gen. Howard in - an ex
tended statement denied most of the charges
made against him, and showed that thti others
were really, when explained. no instances of
dereliction of duty. These are also the con
clusions of a majority of the Committee. They
state that the utmost That can with instied be
alleged is, that Gen. Howard, conscious of his
own purity of motive and of act, pushed' for
ward the works that werel belied tinglithe freed
nien with but little regard to appearances. It
is possible that he occasionally cut red tape
with an unsparing band. They regret that dur
ing the investigation unfavorable rumors, res
pecting the General were propagated. There
was no just occasion for them. The, good
faith and good management of Gen. Howard
shine out all the brighter for this investigation.
The report of the minority of the Committee
is a document of the class that finds 'favor
with the Democracy-as-it-was; and exhibits a
knowledge of the great facts of the last,ten
years only by its dislike of the evidences of
the people's progress. It is worthy of the
members who first brought the charges. They
mourn, that unhappy minority. because they
could not overhaul the General's private ac
count, and suspect accordingly. That abomi
nation , a University where colored students are
taught, actually taught, Sir, in their classes,
Latin, and Greek, and medicine, and law, and
iuilftary tactics , . by a number of - professors,.
whose salaries in the aggregate amount to
521,800 ;" that Sir, is " a ,gross . rnisappropri
tion-of the pnblic money.' That Barry farm
enterprise, in which Senator Pomeroy, of
Kansas, also took part as a -trustee, which
provides homes for freedinen;.,is nothing but a
vile "speculation;" and General Howard
ought to be tried under the 'Embezzlement
act for attempting it. NiTheli k , in reply
to one of these charges, the General points
out that it is not true, and that as a
charge it could not applyto him, this minority
are filled with horror at his " cool audacity."
Then it moves their bile that he assisted
churches, henevolent societies, Christian as
sociations.. 'An insignificant" newspaper of a
Bible society looms up as an organ of "How
ard and the Republican party "—for this news
paper did propound the dangerous inquiry
whether the white man or 'the black
"is the most talented," which the
signers of the report no doubt considered
a highly personal reflection. . But chief
of all there are the Freedmen's savings banks,
the crowning wickedneks of the Bureau. The
fact that colored men have been able to save
millions of money by means of these install=
Lions is atrocious. They are "machinery by
which poor negroes are plundered," " active
agencies in this great conspiracy." Beyond
hints and innuendoes there is little in this re
port that need trouble the friends of General
Howard, though there is enough to provoke
a smile at the laborious malice of the two
representatives who sign it.
