PARTS PAPERS ON THE WAR.
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

" Loicnox, July 22.—Austria is not arming.
The belligerents begin with about a quarter of
a million of men each. The French have

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,

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

same size, which she already_ had_under arms,

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

these two stanzas of Thomas Hood's exquisite
little poem, " The Death Bed :"
We watched her breathing through the

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.

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

Hood, with additions:
We watched him* sleeping through the

Seemed heaving to and fro.
His spirit winged its upward flight

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.

NEW YouK, July 23.—The Teibuw..:s cor
respondent. 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. All the Univer-
sities will soon. close
-"The London Daily Times has a special from
Strasburg, of the 21st inst., saying that the de
fences depend much on the water, which is
now so low that the place is comparatively
weak. 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.

Arrlt al of the President
From the N. Y. 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.

Operationm of an ox-Army Officer.
[ 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. Tnthe course of his busi
.ness lie sometimes obtained - large—bills of
oods on credit •-and gave these notes as col
lateral. 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. Either he did
not know or could not tell the extent of
his forgeries, for parties were employed to
look up the forged paper, and it was hoped to
take it up quietly and save the disgrace and
pain which a publitity to such an affair causes
beyond the circulation of thoge not intimately
associated with the erring party. An investi
gation, however,sho wed that probably $90,001)
would not be a large estimate of the extent of
his forgery, and it, was found impossible to
meet it, and it was decided to repudiate it all.
When this decision was known Capt. Bigelow
lett as above stated, and has not been seen in
the city, and it is possible that he is now
out of the country. His other
liabilities • for goods purchased
and not paid for will probably amount to more
than $lO,OOO, making an irregularity of over
:f•,:;0,000. The matter has been put in the hands
of detectives, who are in pursuit of him. He
was for a long time an officer of General
Burrill's staff, of the First Brigade of the
militia, and was a very fine soldier. He is
about thirty-five years of age, fine looking,
and was very popular-with everyone who
formed his equaintatice. He was frank - and
generous to 'a fault, and undoubtedly took the
• first Step in ; his folly. from sheer inability
to say "no," and -a want of moral reso
lution. So clesperate were his circumstances
that he persuaded a lady with, whom he was
aCquainted to loan-bun $l,OOO about two weeks
since, which she raised by mortgaging all the
propertv she had. His resignation as an ME-.
cer on General staff was compelled
the flagrant irregularity of his. conduct, which'
his friends then 'urged him to abandon., A
wide circle Offriencia will read this with a re-.'
