The unanimity in favor of war, among the papers of Paris, which the cable telegrams-have been reporting ever since the first trouble about Prince Leopold, does not appear ,in the num bers that have reached us, which are to the evening of July Sth. Of course the Rappel, the Cloche and others of the extreme opposi tion denounce severely all talk and all idea of war. But such papers as the Journal des De bars, the &Cele, the Temps and others are no only net warhke, but remonstrate seriously and :earnestly .against. considering the affair Prince Leopold a cause of war. The Journal des Debuts considers the irrita tion in Government circles premature.lt. declares that "we are no longer in a time when import ance ought to be attached to questions of dy riasties and royal persons." It reftises to admit that Bismarck desires to resuscitate the univer sal monarchy of Charles the Fifth. The SiiTle (M. Henri Martin being the writer) 'says: "In :dressing'. the wounds of 'telf-lei'e,'and repairing the huproVidericeS' of our governors, let us not lightly open a wound which may, perhaps, never be closed. Let us not be dragged blindly into• an immense war which may crush France and Germany against one another,and lead Russia to Constantinople, to Pesth and to Prague. An untoward candida ture has risen in Spain. Brit what could a German Prince do, in the present state of af fairs beyond the Pyrenees ? There is uo longer a Charles the - Fifth, nor a Charles the Fifth monarchy. What is to be done ? If Spain elects the Hohenzollern, shall we throw an army..on Spain and another on Primia? To propose the question is to resolve it. The _affirmative would be revolting to gtiod sense." The TeniPs has a long anti-war article, which - we can only give - a few sentences .such as these : "The date, July 7th, 1670, must be remembered. -It will become - historical. .It is, perhaps, the beginning of a_war fatal either to our liberty or ourposition ; certainly it is a day on which a presumptuous govern : znent has given the full measure of its incapa city. The Keeper of the Seals (011ivier) comes to protest his passionate love of peace, after the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Gramout) had read a note, deliberated on in council, which, in the eyes of every man of good sense, compromises peace to the highest point. In fact, this note is a public defiance to Prussia and Spain, and it inakesitlinpossiblelorthose_powers: t.tY rec — eiT4 R' _ The Arfotir National examines the ques tion with reference to its effect in France. It says : " The late Plebiscite contributed more than any other event to Thunnibli the authority of the imperial government in Europe, con trary to the allegations of the French diplo matic agents, who in their repoiLs thought only of pleasing their master. The Cabinets of Europe have said to themselves that henceforth anything might be ventured against a uatioi, that took so little interest in its public affairs In, once more to entrust its destinies to the same power that undertook the 'expedition t. Mexico, submitted to Sadowa and accomplished Mentaua. This is the real truth about the ef fect produced by the Plebiscite. If, then, the nation aspires to recover her rank, let it apply herself first of all to thetn•eeonquest of her en tire liberty. It is not on the banks of the Rhine that it can recover its lost prestige, but in the way that leads to reclaiming its domestic politics." Passages might be quoted from several -other Paris pap6rs, indicating opposition to the hostile attitude so suddenly taken by the government. But these are sufficient; and they are only given by way of contradicting the telegraphic reports that the whole people and press of Paris were eager for war against Prussia. The whole truth, however, is not to be expected from the telegraph in France, now that a rigid censorship has been established as part of the war measures. It is, uite likely that the rapid march of events has changed the tone of some .of the journals.. But up to the 9th inst. they were anything but unanimous in support 01 Napoleon's war policy. SXIIIPATHY WITH PRIINSIA It is a vicious trick of human nature to at tribute to men's actions a lower level of motive than might fairly be ascribed to them upon any principle of generous allowance. And nowhere is this trick more commonly manifested than in the comments constantly made upon the criti cisms and opinions of the press. If. a news paper, departing from the beaten track, boldly denounces some wrong, or fearlessly throws itself across the current of some popular preju dice, or assumes a positive attitude upon any important topic, there is a considerable class of readers, and that not the lowest in point of in telligence or general power of . correct apprecia tiom always ready to attribute a dozen lower motives to the journalist than the high and true one of a simple desire to be and to say what is right. We have observed a striking illustration of this habit of unfair criticism recently, in comments, which we have heard, in very intelligent and respectable circles, upon the general expression of sympathy with the Prussian cause. on the part of the_ American press. This expression was freely and obstinately attributed to no higher motive than a desire to catch the German vote! Now, it may safel hundreds of journals that have expressed their earliest sympathy with the Prussian side of the war Japes bursting upon the bulks of the be asserted that of all the Rhine, not one paragraph has been written with the remotest thought of its effect upon the German vote of this country. The sympathy whirl Anierica feels with Germany in this Struggle is the instinctive feeling of one free people toward another in its resistance of the insolent aggressions of the overweening ambi tion of LouisNaPoleon. As against such ag gression, America, like England, is instinctively German in her sympathies. She recognizes in Prussia the highest - illustration of the idea of popular, free education, and of a national liberty of thought and opinion. She sees- in LOuis Napoleon a brilliant, crafty monarch, wholly intent upon a personal polity having for its end the perpetuation of his own dynasty, regardless of any treMendous cost to his own people or to Europe at which the object must be gained. There is nothing in the character of Louis Napoleon, and nothing in the history of the quarrel which be has so palpably thrust upon Prussia, to challenge Alie sympathies of any free people. And the press' of this country only gives utterance to the natural and almost universal sentiment of the American mind when it upholds the cause of free _Prussia against Napoleon-xiddenFrance, The idea that German votes were to be caught for parties, or German patronage gained for newspapers, by this advocacy of Prussia's cause,can only be accounted for on the general principle to which we have referred, the dispo sition so common to human nature to look for low motives for the actions of men. The axiom of law which counts every man innocent until lie is proved to be- guilty, may well sug gest the,---kindred principle that, until Men . or newspapers are found guilty of low and mean actions, they should not have low and mean motives attributed to them.' MORE BURSBYESM. The New York Associated Press has not profited mucliby the redent pilgriinage of its business manager, Mr. Simonton, to Europe. Not satisfied with informing the world that Rome key to the Mediterranean," it, to-day,..giVes following . profoUnd medita tion tipon the' state' of affairs " Loicnox, July 22.—Austria is not arming. The belligerents begin with about a quarter of a million of men each. The French have already been made soldiers by their recent service in Africa, while the Prussians are mere militia. France puts an army in the field ; Prussia is only an armed people." People who may have thought Jack Bunsby a mere creature of Dickens's imagination may now see that lie not only lives, but is retained as a special war correspondent -of the New York Associated Press. " The French have been made soldiers by their recent service in Africa!"_, When? Where ?' How? Why? Their last important service in Africa was in smothering a cave-full of miserable Kabyles, in : 1851, under St Arnaud Did. this prepare the -nFrench -army -for the .conquest - of the Rhine? Doesnot our Bunsby 'know that the Prussians are'_a.nation so smoke-hardened, arid so difficult to run into the ground, that a repe tition of the Algeiine tactics' of the French in 1851, are suite out of the'questiOn in Prussia, in 1870? But Bunsby tells the world still more. "The Prussians are mere militia." Hem ! Sadowa!! Likewise, "France puts an army in the field -Prussia-is only an armed-people." Consider ing that Prussia,. in 1860, put 400,000 of her " armed people the field, in less than a- fort night, over and above the army of nearly the same size, which she already_ had_under arms, t tinctionotth - e - Bupb - y of the N. is too line fur comprehension by the outside world. The "elbows of the Mincio " are utterly dis located by such stuff and nonsense as this, and yet it is solemnly sent to the unhappy vassals of the N.Y. A. P. and by them accepted and paid for, and delivered to their readers. Blessed are the people who have been rescued from such inflictions by the better enterprise of indepen dent journalism. THE CHINESE PUZZLE The people who want to make capital out of the importation of Chinese labor into this coun try are very sorely tried to adjust the ditferetu parts of this Chinese puzzle so as to lit in with some of the other problems said to have been worked out under the free institutions of this country. Thus General Thomas, appealing for the support of the workingmen of the Fourth Congressional District, protests against the in troduction of Chinese labor, and assumes that it is going to bring American labor down to "six dollars a month." But General Thomas,re membering that he was alivays brought up to advocate the right of all men to earn au honest living in this free country, each in his own pe culiar way, has to frame a theory to make his old record dovetail into his new platform, and in doing this he is only following the track of everybody who has tried to make the Chinese labor question a stepping-stone to popularity or power. The public men and writers who have un dertaken to amuse the people with this Chi nese puzzle; have felt constrained to go at •it upon this unsatisfactory theory: We, de not objectto the individual Chinaman, or to any number of individual Chinamen. They are n elcome to come and earn their livings just as they please.. : 13ut the congregate Chinaman, the Koopmanshoop Chinaman, is an abomi nation not to be tolerated. He is a coolie, he is a slave, he is the future destroyer of Ameri can industry. Ile,—if they would only tell the plain, truth,—does not belong to any Trade Union. Therefore lie should be tabooed, per secuted; banished. But the puzzle does not fit. Why shout() not John Chinaman be permitted to come iu colonies to this country and do such work as be is capable of doing ? Grant that his habits are so industrious, simple and frugal that he can live, after his notions of • coin fort, upon almost nothing, when he first comes to America. How long will it last? The Chinaman is eminently an imitative being, and it need not be long before be can be broken of these, his native habits. His frugality and industry and simplicity will yield to the pres slue of surrounding influence, and as he will nndoubtedly attain the highest grade of skilled labor, he will soon be found demanding - the high wages of those around him. , But the truth is that this is just what is the matter. The trades-unions will not even allow American boys to learn trades, if they can help it, and, of course, they do not want Chinese -labor to cDrne_in__competition_with--thein. Theoretically, this r •is a free country, a honm for all nations, a field for all honest industries. Practically, it will J.)e something very different PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, SATURDAY - JULY'23,IB7O. from all this, whenever the trades-unions can fully carry out the princiiiles — Wlifeli - they now preach Lately some contributor to the obituary4col -umn of the Ledger 11E4 the good taste, in se lecting some verses to be appended to the no tice of a death, to avoid the hackneyed -" Dear est Johnny," "Afflictions sore,"&c.,and choose these two stanzas of Thomas Hood's exquisite little poem, " The Death Bed :" We watched her breathing through the night, Her breathing soft and low. As in her breast the wave of life Kept heaving to and,fro. Otir very hopes belied our fears; Our fears our hopes belied ; We thought her dying when she slept, And sleeping when she died. The person who committed this innovation made several slight errors in the first stanza, and now the 'imitators are usigig,.it with its errors, and appending trash of their own. Here is the latest reproduction 'of ,the lines of Hood, with additions: We watched him* sleeping through the night, His breathing soft and low, AH in his breast the tide of life Seemed heaving to and fro.

Earle are selling rapidly at their establishment, and occasionally filling distant orders for, the fine stereoscopic photographs by Purviance representing scenes in Fair mount Park„ or bordering on the Wissahickon.,: Many have been taken instantaneously, or nearly so,—a great enhancement-of the fresh ness of the effect, particularly in the water scenery.

THE FRENCH•PRUSSIAN WAR Operations of the Contending Forces. 1416PILIZING THE PRUSSINN ARMY Prussia in no Dread of the Threatened Invasion. A Strong War Feeling Throughout Germany. BULL RUN RUSSELL IN TROUBLE, FROM EUROPE. ]By the American Press Association.] ENGLAND. The - Feminine Forcer. LONDON, July 23.—The Times publishes a .ong despatch from its special correspondents in both the opposing armies of France and Prursilt The deSpatches contain a geper4l resume of the operations already undertaken upon the Itbine, and the arrangements for offence and defence of both parties. The Times argues from the data that the marvelous rapidity with which the Prussians had rallied, and the celerity of their concen tration upon the Rhine at critical points, de feated•Napoleou's plans for the conquest of the Rhine provinces and the disintegration .or the German States. • It says that the plan upon which Napoleon proposed to wage the conflict was, by rapid movements, to htirl various co'rps trartnie, which had concentrated at the Catnri.of Cha- - lons, into Central Germany, thus dividing the North and South deinian States through thei r very centre. The wonderful rapidity of the Prussians in covering theexPosed points foiled this rnameuvre. Prumila now has a powerfularmy arrayed upon the Rhine, between Mayenee and Co logne, with a powerful force occupying the Rhine fortresses. She also has a strong force in Southern Ger many, to repel assault in that quarter. -Me French-Army.

Mr. George W. Smalley, says. " Lotinov, July T2.—Army movements on both sides are slow_ A special correspondent writes from Berlin, on the 20th, that Prussia was actually taken by surprise. Nobody con templated war. Hence concentration of force is less advanced than with the. French, nor will Von Moltke be hurried. " There are two methods of mobilizing the Prussian army, The quicker is when regi ments will march as they are, not waiting for reserves, which follow when ready. The more regular method is when the regiments await their reserves till the ranks are full. The latter and slower method has been adopted, showing that Prussia is in no dread of the threatened immediate invasion. " No soldier of the famous corps of Prussian Guards has yet left Berlin. " The infantry reserves were arriving on Tuesday, and the regiments are expected to march on Friday. " Enthusiasm and confidence are daily in creasing. The feeling throughout Germany is only 'comparable to that of the North when Sumter was attacked. Still the financial and commercial distress is terrible, and there are innumerable failures of old and strong houses "It is perfectly understood in Berlin that the German army, if victorious, will march on to Paris. Railroad. freight traffic' has ceased, and passenger traffic closei - ou the 24th inst. "The Gottingen University has closed, and all the students have enlisted. From Bonn three hundred are expected.

Additional works are in progress. The garrison numbers about six thousand, and besides in camp about tin thousand more. Communication across the river is continued by ferry. "Correspondents of La Lib erte and La Rappel have been arrested, one while sketching for tifications and the other on detection by reason of his speaking French with a German accent: Both were subsequently released. The cor respondent arrested yesterday at Metz is now reported to be W. H. Russell, journeying to ward Prussia. "Although the Journal Officiel reiterates Gen. Le Boeuf's order that no journalist shall be admitted to the French army, it is reported one pass has been issued to a correspondent of an English Bonapartist paper, in France.

He is more convinced than on the day of adjournment that some de finite action is demanded by the various in terests of the Government, but he will not call Congress unless still stronger reasons arise than those which now exist.

Secretary Boutwell has decided that, not withstanding the apparent instruction to re cognize the existing contracts in a clause of an appropriation bill referring to a contract for public buildings, &c., which was inserted by a conference committee, the public interest requires that such contracts should, in the first instances, have been open to competition.

Times.] Loxd Bnsxcu, Friday, July 22,1870.—Pres ident Grant has enjoyed the pleatiure of a perfectly quiet day. There were some few callers, chiefly personal friends, - but some few of them on Insiness,_the latter being courte onsly received, and their affairs given prompt attention by Gen. Horace Porter, the Private Secretary of the President. Altogether it has been quiet enough to be drearily lonely, at the sea-side cottage,but it is the President's desire that all the days, of the Summer may be like it._ it bas been announced in despatchw from Washington that the President had accepted the- otter of the-proprietors of the West End Hotel,of.the use of a parlor of.their. House for two days of each week, when and where he would receive the public generally. It is proper to sac_ that fut_arriingement_ _of this kind-inis—heetrconsummated; All that the President has said on fins" potrilkWaS — that w bile he was determined to preserve the privoy of biz'. private . home, he considered that he owed something to the public," and if it be tanie necessary to accommodate any great number of citizens, he would give the receptions referred to. But no day has yet been named for these receptions, and it is hoped there will be no necessity for fla,llll ng any. Even should they occur, there will be only one per week. The Cotttere of the Presi dent is so remote from the great human hives at Long Branch that he is safe from casual annoyance from the hotels, and those having special designs upon him must be very bold to inirude upon private ground with no other excuse than their own needs.

[ From the Boeton Journal July 2.3.1 It is a painful duty to give publicity to an other case of criminal folly, by a young man of bright prospects, led away by dissipation into an extravagance of living which compli cated bim so badly in money matters that he chose to attempt to postpone the evil day by forgery. Saturday, the 9th inst., Capt.• 31. E. Bigelow left this city suddenly and in a man ner to give rise •to suspicion. For some time past he has been engaged in business at No. 505 Washington street, just above Boylston Market, where everybody sup posed he was clang a prosperous busi ness, as others had done there before him. Friday a sale of his business was made, and before completing it personally, he left Saturuay morning for New York. It became speedily known that he bad become so in volved pecuniarily that any honest issue out of his troubles was impossible. It appears that as far back as two years ago he entered upon a style of living outside of his own family that his business would not justify. It was done quietly, and few were aware but that his habits were perfectly correct, having a beautiful wife and two children living at the South End. The demand for money beyond what his business gave him tempted Lim to forge the name of his uncle upon notes, which he used to obtain money on. He began in a small way, and took up the notes as they became due, either by paying them with money or other notes of a similar kind, all of them bearing the forged signature of his uncle and the forged endorsement of his brother and father.

By paying exorbitant rates of interest lie managed to postpone the evil day, but he became deeper and deeper involved, until a short time since he was forced to make a clean breast of the whole matter to his father and intimate friends.
