THE 110811 IN THE WAR.
The warriors that have distinguished them
selves on the gory 'fields of Canada, where they
fought for the liberation of Ireland, are all
athirst for more blood and glory, now that
France and Germany are at war. They pro
pose to - liberate Ireland by joining the - French
and fighting against the Germans. The tri
color has been raised in the streets of Dublin,and
that is the signal for an uprising of the Ameri
can Fenians.
. .
Precisely how this movement is going to
effect the liberation of Ireland, is kept a. pre
found secret among.tbe Fenian leaders. They
do not•ofteir keep their military movements
secret, as the history of the various:invasions
of Canada shows. But this alliance of Fenian
ism and France has a deep, .mysterious mean
ing and purpose; which is,for the •present, to
be sacredly guarded in the mailed breastsof the
heroic leaders. There are, doubtless, import
ant matters of detail to be arranged between
them and Ole 'Emperor lialioleon,-_who. is,
probably holding his forces upon the Rhine in
check, until these are arranged, and the Irish
legions come pouring into France to turn the
tide of battle in his favor;should it be against
him.
Finnee, "aided by Fenianism, having con
quered the Germans,. Fenianism aided by
France, may then proceed to conquer-the
English. This may be the programme ; of
course it is only conjecture, for as we have
said, the secrets of this stupendous alliance
are kept most sacredly. But it must have a
very depressing effect on King William and
Count Bismarck and General Von Moltke,
and the whole army of -the United German
Confederation, to learn that the Fenians, who
bave won laurels in so many bloody fights,
theiradVersary. They had counted
confidently on their being at least neutral.
With
‘ the Feniqm taking sides, the war really
does assume grand proportions. Now what
will'llassia do?
THE LICENSE SWINDLE
According to the latest official reports, 549
tavern licenses have been issued by the Clerk
of the Court of Quarter Sessions for the present
-year. These licenses produce less than two
hundred thonsand - dollars, or an average of
fifty dollars apiece, while there are between
four and five thousand taverns in the city that
— take - outim - ficenses, 4d, of course, pay nothing
to the State Treasury. if the whole Of these
systematic swindlers .- paid at the - rate be the
minority, the annual revenue would be nearly
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
But the law provides a graduated license
according to the amount of sales. The sale or
$lO,OOO, or more, requires
lieenge of $.500. Bet Ween $6OOO and
$10;000, the license is s2'so; between $O,OOO
and $S;000, it is $lOO, and when under $4,00u
it is' $5O. When it is considered that there are
single establishments whose sales exceed
$lOO,OOO annualy, and very many that reach
!WOW, it is a very reasonable calculation that
the average grade of the whole eight thousand
taverns' of Philadelphia is, at least, of the
fourth class, with a license of $lOO, or an a;,!--
gregate of eight hundred thousand dollars per
annum, four times the amount actually re
ceived by the State. It must require a large
amount of pedury.on the part of tavern-keep
ers, and alarge amount of ignorance or indif_
ference on the part of the officials concerned, be
fore the whole line of. the liquor sales of this
city can be pat do'wn at less than $4,000 for
each dealer. :This is the first feature of the li
cense swindle.
The second feature of this infainoui
ness of swindling the public treasury is enacted
through the. direct agency of the ward consta
bles. Although it is notorious that there are
more than four thousand unlicensed taverns in
Philadelphia, thes - 6 precious agents of the ille
gal traffic in liquor, the ward constables, report
that there are only two hundred and scrod y
five in the whole city. • In the Fourth. Ward;
for instance, the constable reports four anti
censed taverns! and this is about a fair speci
men oft the fidelity of these officials to their
sworn Obligations.
. If there were not so many other similar illus
trations of the way Philadelphia ' permits her
' self to be swindled and imposed upon, to have
her ordinances set at nought, and to set pre
miums upon all kinds of official dishonesty and
incompetence, this might be a cause of amaze
ment. That the people should tolerate, year
after year, a systematic plunder of the public
revenue, which adds heavily to the taxes, while
it encourages the worst. and lowest description
of liquor-selling, filling our prisons and alms
houses with thousands of wretched beings, to
be supported at the public expense, is a striking
proof of . the easy, indolent indifference which
prevails in the community, even when the
pockets of the people are being robbed of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
The facts of this
. habitual robbery of the
- • public treasury are familiar to the District At
. • tOrliey, - to every judge upon the bench, to ever
y
officer of the law. - The suppression of this il
legal traffic; both by those who pay nothing
and those Who swear to only a fourth or a
tenth' - of their real sales, would not 'be a dllll
- tas,k, if the proper authorities thought more
of official vows than of political votes. As a
financial qUestion,it is of the highest importance
that these eight thousand licenses should be
• onestiv paid. As a moral and social questi •
it would be of incalculable-benefit to enforce
. .
the license. laws. 14 or it would break up and
drive out of the business many of the lowest
and vilest grog-shops in PhiltOelphia, and bless
their wretched enitoniers by making it a little
more dipcult forthem to",ruinAbentselves, soul
and body, with the horrible stuff which is deal t t,
but at these dens.
it Was suggested in these coldmns, sony,e,tion
ago, that there would be great advsxdr Age i n a ,
change of the license laws,'so as to "give Phila
delphia a more direct interest •,, n enforcing
them. The proposition was rtade that the
city should pay to the State,,r s u nne fiy, a fixed
sum, say two hfindred'And-fifty — ihousand
dollars, in lieu of the tavern licenses, and that
the 'revenue from these. licenses accrue to the
city treasury: 2. We should then have a direct
interest in' its' . co , rdection, and our tax-payers
would be
,merr.i likely to look to it that the
present rasceally evasions. of the license were
broketi:uP ,, ,:while•the, State would sutler noth
ing by the:change. We hoped to see some
such measure' as this introduced at the last
session of, the Legislature, and we commend
the subject, now, to our law-makers..for their
deliberate oodsideration. The present system
is a farce and a swindle, and the sooner it is
abolished or reformed the better it will be for
the whole community. , •

tions at the seaside have been made althost
perfect, The reports of " land breezes" have
only suggested that -"now there will certainly be
a change, But, 'a ove alb the hotels -liave
reduced their rates,-and find their large}' profits
in full houses and more contented guests.
it is a singular thing that nobody seems to
get hold of the true idea of adding to our
watering-place hotels -the feature of a class of
houses for the accommodation of people of re
stricted means, Which shall be at once cheap
and clean and comfortable. This combina
tion of attractions is so rare as to seem almost
impossible. There are cheap hotels, but they
are almost invariably- uncomfortable--and un
-clean. There are - clean andeomfortable hotela,
but they are conducted on a scale of luxury
that-makes them anything but cheap. _
To " keep a hotel" has passed into a proverb
signifying the capability of doing any difficult
thing well; - and' the -- provetb - is-wisely Stated;
for it is an extremely difficult thing 63 .1, keep
a hotel" and make money out of it and satisfy
its guests - at the same time: But we de not be
-lieve that it is-impossible-to establish-a-class-of--
houses accommodating one, two or three hun
dred people, in which there shall be no expen
diture for show, either in furniture or bills of
fare, where comfortable rooms, clean beds,
civil servants, plain but well-cooked meals of
- simple - variety, — but - of - sufficient quantity,-can—
be furnished profitably for much loWer rates
than now prevail. Thousands of individuals
and families who cannot afford to pay the neces
sarily high_ rates of fashionable hotels, and
Who will not stibinit to the dirt anffdiscomfort
of-what-are-called- the - "-cheap -housesi"-would
spend their summers at the sea-shore, if they
could thus have it brought within the reach of
their limited means. It is easy to anticipate
many of the obstacles in the way of such an
experiment, but there are none of them un
surmountable, and whenever the right sort of
hotel-keepers inaugurate the movement, they
will, find that it will pay them better, with far
less outlay, trouble and risk than they are now
subject to.
THE RAtuwAy NUISANCE
The Twelfth and Sixteenth Street Railway
seems to have been destined to be a nuisance
in the eyes of the public from its inception to
its completion. This road, whose legislative
history is still offensively fresh in the minds of
the people, has been sold out, as was doubtless
the original 'intention of the "Ring" that gut
the bill through the Legislature, to the compa
nies running immediately parallel with it, and
Twelfth and Sixteenth streets have now been
taken possession of by the new owners for the
purpose of constructing the nuisance against
which the people and the press of Philadelphia
so earnestly and-so vainly protested,
Like any other inevitable evil, the sooner it
is done with the better for all concerned. But
it almost seems to be a deliberate design on the
part of these railway monopolists to give the
people, and especially these residine in Twelfth
and Sixteenth streets, all the annoyance they
can. The construction of a streetrailWay, as it
is usually built, is an extremely simple process,
,
and shodid be very raliid - brie. Wonld'xiiit .
require the genius of Dr. Durant or General
Palmer to lay down the entire track of this
Twelfth street nuisance within a week. It
would be cheaper for the builders, and far less
annoyin'g to the citizens. But, instead of lay
ing down the track, and having done with it,
at once, the company allow the woik to crawl
along at a snail's pace, blocking up miles of
public streets with materittl, driving travel
out of its way, and inflicting great discomfort
and inconvenience upon the residents along the
line.
How long this state of things is to continue
it is impossible to say. This whole railway
project has been characterized by such a total
disregard of the rights and wishes of the peo
ple, that it is not likely that any special trouble
will be taken to expedite the removal of the
heaps of rails, timber and paving -stones that
now encumber the public highivays: That it
is a public nuisance, no one can reasonably
deny, and as we watch the sluggish indiffer
ence by, which it-is perpetuated, _we_ could al
most wish, if it were not as ial,v-defying as the
conduct of the railway monoPoliiits themselves,
that the Twelfth and Sixteenth Street Railway
might be taken in charge, as the Trenton Rail
road wits by: a committee of the men and
women of KenSington, in . July Is4o. •

lwe presume tbe subject will bethoroughly con
sidered at the convention in Reading.
A cruel hoax was attempted upon the public,
;yesterday, through the medium of a forged
:despatch, pnrporting to giie the intelligence of
an explosion on bbard the Cape May steamer,
'ArroWsmith.: The . ‘ style of the telegram was
'such as to arouse immediate suspicion of its
character; and none of the aftornoonTapers
'were imposed upon by it. But the rrinier
_cam-current on the street, and much 4:iircietsv,
was created among those. having !friends' at 3
Cape May,:Which was only allaye`bylbe a)r-'
rival of the Arrowsmith at her usual hour.
There should be an immediate and search
ing investigation into this piece of r6eally im
position.' The 'desioatch was, written' on a
printed telegraph blank, but was With Ont date,
address or signature; which was - I,enough to
prevent its publication. It is said to, have
been sent from the Continental. thotel, and
we believe :that
it passed over one of the
wires leading froth that house. If this is true,
the operator should be held responsiblefor the
transmission, of a message withonksiguature,
or date, wheffier the author of ibeiabriCat:ion
can be detected or not.
It is the crueleSt style of practic'al joke to
start such a rumor as this in the community,
and it is the
. duty both of the Officers of the
steamboat company and Of the-telegraph lines
to sift the ma tter to the bottom. -
The death of -General--Willtam=-.A. Leech,
Register of Wills in Philadelphia, causes
geuu
ine sorrew•wherever be as known, for he was
a gentleman of high character, a faithful pub
lic officer, and a true patriot. Some , weeks
ago we referred to him as " too good a-man to
be re-nominated" by the Democracy for the
office he held, for he was sacrificed by the
"Ring" that triumphed in the Npnainating
Convention., The relatives and friends:uf - tho
deceased gentleman have the sincere.sympatby
of the whole community in their befe'avement.

• BERLIN, July 21.
The l'arliament of the North German states
has voted an address to the throne, declaring
that they do not hesitate to trust their King to
conduct, at the eve of life, a struggle in which
he joined when 'a:youth—a struggle that is now
likely to terminate forever the attempts of
France to shatter the German nation, which
now on the field of battle will attain a unity
never enjoyed before. Europe' is congratu
lated—. that at last the Continent is delivered
from the Bonapartist lust of power and the evil
ambition which ever directed the Napoleonic
aspirations, and that a healthy check will now
be given to the vanity of the French nation.
The address was voted amid the wildest en
thusiasm, and the North German Union seems
at this moment a unit for the war. '

what befogged the speculators, but there can be no

of the war would inevitably lead to a heavy tall in our

WEDNEfiDAT, July 20th, 6P. 31.—The continned defer

Fratice and Prussia is reflected In the steadier move

feverish and unsettled between the limits within which it
moved.
A new - influencethoweverjs now opqating on gold and-

the 'growing activity of the, money- market. The

-that the upward movement in gold to-day lens checked
in a great measure by , the penalties of dealing- in it,
holders of goal being reguire4l to pay as high a 4 3-61 per
day interest—equivalent to nearly 10 per cent. per an
num. Doubtless, when the Gold Room is thus robbed
'of its attractions with the outside and numerous class
01 operators the foreign bankers will find it less.

this point it fell off to 1213; on the submission of bide for

ring that the foreign bankers in refusing this oppor
tunity of getting gold, which they argue to be so cheap
at current prives, were no louver buyers bat were
ready to sell to the public. Later gold advancedto
122.%, on the report that the government had Cusp-mile
iia programme of gold sales, although nothing was
human positively about the matter further than that
orders had been received at the Sub-Treasury not to
readvertise the balance of the million unsold to-day.

LONDON, July 21.—There is !io news yet of a

pectvd. The picket guards on the frontier
eichange shots occasionally, which have been
reported as skirmishes, but beyond this noth

the Flrst Battle:;
will take place on the Moselle„near the fron
tier, of France and Prussia proper, a few.miles

The 'battle will be waged, on the side of
France, by what is• termed the army df the
Moselle, composed: of the second, third, and .
-fourth-corps,- and—coaimanded by Marshal
,Bazaine.
It will be met by the Prussian forces under
; command of the Crown Prince in person.
The supposition here is that it will be•a - most
diSastrous conflict, - as both sides will light
with desperation, and maintain their stand
almost to the, last man, knowing as they do
that much of the prestige of the war will de

Railroad Accident.
An accident caused entirely by.the culpable
ignorance of a switchman occurred upon the
Id orris and. Essex Railroad, on Wednesday
evening. The engine IVlOntrose, while
running as extra with two empty cars and at
a speed of thirty miles an hour, was just
passing Washington station when the switch
man turned his switch so as to run the train
over the embankment, and he did so just as
the engineer was upon it, so no time was given
to the employq3s to stop the train.
The engineer and , Armen jumped and
escaped with severe,broises, but theconduc
tor, M. orford; Was " less fortunate; as, in jump
ing, he severely dislocated his right leg, and
sustained several severe bruises.
The engine was badly broken up, but the
train escaped with but little injury. The switch
had been set right by the,• switch-tender just
before the accident, but hearing a train ap
proaching b seems,to have supposed it was
wrong, and so altered it.
