Poor Prince of Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sig miaringen, and his candidature for the throne of Spain, having gone completely out of sight as a cause of war between France and Prussia, the belligerents are trying to explain to the world that there were other just causes. After all, the world knows that there was one over ruling cause that was not a just one, and that was the Prussian victory of Sadowa, which made Prtissia a first-class power and a danger ous .neighbor of France.- All other so-called ,causes of war are mere shams. The great fact that war exists is what is now to be dealt with, and all hiimanity must pray that it may be a short war, and that the wicked men who, for selfish ends,,brought it on, may; be made to As in all controversies, there are side-issues in this Franco-Prussian war, that for a time ab scirb public attention, and p.ending,a real battle, the proposed secret treaty- between the two powers is still eciting unabated interest. Un der the spur of foreign criticism, each party to the proposed compact is trying to make it ap pear that the other was to blame. The draft of the treaty at Berlin is in the handwriting of Benedetti, the French Minister to Berlin. He says that the propositions it contains were made to 'him by Bismarck, and that he (Bene detti) noted them down, and left the paper in his (Bismarck's) hands, whence it happens that Prussia holds this suspicious document in the chirography of the representative of the Em peror Napoleon. if this explanation were true —and it does not seem probable—M. Bene detti must .be a great ass, and, one need no longer Wonder at his insolence at Ems, which, after Leopold vanished - from the stage, made the real and immediate pretext for war. On the otter baud we have an explanation from Bismarck in the form of a circular to the representatives of Prussia at neutral courts. He declares.that before the war _in Denmark France-proposed to Prussia an alliance offen sive and defehsive, for the purpose of mutual advantage. War between France and Austria was then expected, and under the proposed alliance Italy was to have Venetia, Prussia the Duchies - and other -German States, with a population not exceeding eight millions, and France was to have a large share of the Rhine provinces. Bismarck says this proposition wa, rejected, and - it-vas repeatedly - renewed; atlas: ith the modification that Prussia - was to ac quire South Germany,—and France was to acquire Belgium, and this latter proposition, in Benedetti's handwriting, is what has been made public and created such ‘a hubbub. Prussia, according to Bismarck, never seriously entertained the project, and no word implying approval was uttered. " Time," be said, "v.to• ecninted on to rerotutionize France and ex tinguish the scheme, and hence the long delay and silence." The italicized words show what the wily and wise Prussian thinks of the tenni., by which the Napoleon dynasty rules iu France. Nl/4 Of the two, explanations of this nice little project, that of Prussia seems to be altogethe, the most credible. It is circumstantial, and refers to events contemporaneous with the date of the negotiation, which gives it plausibility. Benedetti's explanation does nothing but - make him appear in a very ridiculous light. Besides, his master inherits and has fostered greed for all the, country on the left bauli of the Rhine, and it is very natural that in view of a war with Austria, he should have tried to con spire with another power to gratify his desire 'The party really aggrieved by the proposed treaty is Belgium, and while it was outrageous in France to try and get possession of the little Kingdom in such a way, it was ungenerou , and disingenuous in Prussia not to reveal to Belgium and to the world the designs of the Emperor. 03 lIONT4ACTOW4' IiOLIDAYS The CatholitChuich has not in its calendar as many holidays as there are in the calendar of the street contractors, under the lenient rule Of the Board of Bealth. From the first of No vember to the first of May is a continuous holi day, because It is the contractor's winter. From the fast of July to the first of October is another continuous holiday, because it is the contractor's summer. No matter how mild the season, the. winter is supposed to be toe cold, and the summer too hot for the streets of Philadelphia to be cleaned. During May and June, when the new contracts have just been made, there is usually a little spasm of activity visible. i And sometimes after a sum mer of recreation, when the peculiarly filthy condition of the streets has roused some new outburst of popular iudignation,another feeble demonstration is made, luring the pleasant mouth .of October, prior to going into early winter quarters. There are only twelve days of real, earnest attention to the street contracts, in the year. Tese are the monthly pay-days. They are never neglected. Occasionally, there is a rumor that this or that contractor, having been a little more neglectful than usual—and there is very little margin in that diteetion—is to have his pay suspended. But we believe that this is never the tame of any serious difficulty. "Ali,- ao over-indulgent mother, the Board of health threatens punishuients which it never mersos to inflict, and the experienced contractor does not break his heart over the idea of not get ting bisnioney,for lie knoWs It is sure to coup.. To-day is one of the monthly pay-days, awl d e various contractors will present their little bOlB.- Not One of them has mgde the Baia' pretence of doing his work :and earning his money, and why should he? It is the summer vacation. The few hundred thonsaudi of people who have no summer vacations are ex pected to make some concessions to the fewer, thousands who have. Contractors and Boards of Health may enjoy the pure . breezes and bracing baths of the sea-shomor the -exhilarat ing, atmo*bere of the mountains; The masses who stay at home Must enjoy the effinvitim of rank sewers, and reeking, stagnant gutters, and filthy streets, and the luxury of paying heavy. taxes for having all this uncleanness left undis turbed. A walk in almost any . direetioii, , through al-• most any section of Philadelphia, tells the old story of almost total neglect of the."•istreet clean ing, and in , very, many••kicalities the story is told with an offensiveness which can scarcely be expressed. The few octogenarian scaven gers who bobbled through a few of the princi- . pal streets, at long intervals, earlier in the sea son, are seen no More, and the showers of rain have been too few and far between to , do the work for which the contractors are paid. We no longer call public attention to the condition of the streets of Philadelphia in any hope of inducing the Board of Health to en force the contracts, or to withhold. the pay from -these men who-grow-fat- at the public rack, without the trouble of earning their money. But therels yet some hope that oouncils, who have the responsibility of supplying the funds, may be brought, to insist that .the Board of li ealth - shall .not continue to Pay contractors who so flagrantly violate and neglect their obligations. The current expenses of Phila delphia are heavy, and they need to be Increased to meet the growing wants of the people. But tliis is the greater reason why money should not be . wasted, as it now is, upon our system of,- paying -.a large sum of money, every tuotith, - to men who have done nothing, or next to nothing, to earn it. if the Board. of Health . w ere composed • .of different xnaferiirif Might be Suppbsed tirat its hers must share a ith the contractors iu their ill-gotten gains, as the only reasonable theory for their complacent expenditure of these un earned appropriations. But so far as out know ledge goes, the Board is entirely above any such suspicion, and its practical complicity with the delinquent contractors can only be ac counted for upon one of two theories : either the Board has grown weary of the incessant, but just complaints of the public and is over_ puss ered by the magnitude of its work, or its m hole system of inspection is so badly con trived and so badly - worked that the Board does not know, officially, bow filthy many of the streets are, or how carelessly and imper fectly its orders are carried out, even When it does make -an occasional spasmodic elihrt to abate some - particular nuisance. - It haS come to this, that until -any 'particular locality becomes poSitively disgusting, it is not considered a good subject for special complaint by the citizen, , or for special action by the Board. 'Merely-ordinary dirty streets and -ob strutted gutters are no longertakeu into ac count. Anything hke real cleanliness, or a:. systematic effort to accdnaplish it, seems to have been abandoned 'as hopeless. Aud yet it not impossible. if the. eolith - A.lms were not allowed ten months' furlough under full pay, they would either do their work or abandon their contracts. If it is demonstrated and confessed that Philadelphia cannot be kept decently clean for the present appropriation or under the machinery of the Board of health, Councils and the Legislature between Chew can give us a better system, and the people will .not grumble over paying the money, if they can only see that they get a reasonable equiva lent for it. Philadelphia, for its size, is the hardest oity in the United Mates to keep clean, mud will continue to be so as long as the cobble-stooe nuisance prevails in our streets. But, while this is a strong incentive to push forward every proper movement for securing better pave ments, it is no reason why the money that is appropriated for cleaning the streets should not to expended upon actual work, and not thrown away, as it now is, upon 'men who scarcely make a pretence of fulfilling their contracts. THE FATE OF O'NEILL. The remarkable military career of the Fe nian General O'Neill has been ended inglori ously by a sentence of two years' imprison ment. There is but. one reason why any re gret should be felt at the retirement of this distinguished soldier. Everybody felt that in the event of the depart we of a Fenian army from this countr for the purpose .of helping France in the present war, General O'Neill would perhaps be the best man that could be selected to com mand the forces. if the neutrality laws are Ca pable of stretching so as to permit the emigra !ion of all the hardy Fenian warriors in the country, we hope some arrangement will be made to assist the movement. There is no class of citizens' that can.be better spared. We would be entirely - willing to have O'Neill par doned and placed in command, if he would en ter into a solemn obligation never to return, and would prove that he had sufficient. influence to induce Napoleon and King William to adopt his peculiar tactics iu conducting the present strife. The art of war would then he reduced to mere questions of the energy ot policemen and the capacities of hacks. We should be spared au enormous ;amount of slaughter, and for the hideous details of carnage we should have amusing anecdotes of the strategic movements of Parisian hackmen iu the neighborhood of the Prussian camp, an .1 perhaps an interesting account of the seizure ol General Von Moltke and his incarceration in a swift cab..." The successful introduction of such a reform in warlike operations would entitle O'Neill to consideration as a benefactor of his lace, and would relieve him from the charge that he is an idiotic poltroon. The difficulties in the way of fulfilment - or this scheme appear, however, to be insarmonnt able. It is a melancholy fact that the influ ence of the General lir Enropean cabinets isex ti cutely small; and Napoleon's well-known ob stinacy - would probably prevent a favorable con- 'sideration of O'Neill's model theories. It is doubtful also if the Fenian braves would con sent to serve under O'Neill. They could not very reasonably object to his methods, for it .110 more preposterous to carry otia war with out fiehtir g than it is to act upon England I , r(losition that Irish hatreil of England Jan lust gratit , ed by shooting Prussians.

Van Valketffnurgb has been guilty of the offence charged upon him, he deserves a double punishment, first, for bringing his employers into discredit by mean and dishonest act, and second, by at trropting to palm off upon the American Press Association the ancient " news" of the New I'otk Associated Press. Van Valkenburgh richly deserves whatever penalty the laws of California may inflict upon him, and nowhere will his sentence, if proved to be a jtht one, be more heartily endorsed than by the American Press Association and the officers of the Atlantic and Pacific TelegrapliCompa.ny. The shade trees 'which line thE streets of Philadelphia have always been an ornament and a comfort, except when undergoing thou annual vermicularization. But when the trees cease to he shady, and are transformed into dead stumps, they cease to be useful or orna mental, and become mere ugly cumberers of the ground. Under the polite agency of the Citizens' Association, some of these eye-sores and obstructions have been removed; but a considerable number of dead trees still line our streets, disfiguring the Sidewalks, and proclaim ing the carelessness and want of public spirit of housekeepers and owners. IL would 114) to beautify - private properties, and add to the pleasant effect of well-shaded streets, if the owners of these dead trees would " stir their stumps. One of the most exciting items of war news which have yet reached this country is to tha -;frect that Dr. Evans, the distinguished Ameri can dentist at Paris, has been "authorized to reject the otter of General P. H. Sheridan, who is anxious to serve against Prussia." Our "Phil Sheridan" volunteering in the French army is a brilliant ideaond Dr—Evans .being entrwited: K ith the difficult piece of diplomacy of reject ing his services is a conception worthy of a first-class "war correspondent." The story probably grows out of a suspicion that Gene ral Shendan is charged with some secret mis sion, and that Louis Napoleon knows that Dr: Evans can draw out of him whatever he wants without Sheridan's knowing it.

This district is composed of thirteen or fourteen counties in the south western corner of the State, bordering on _North Carolina and Tennessee. There is a fair rprinkling of white Republicans in that regioii, but the colored population is not large, and Gen. Terry will probably be elected. The Debt Statement will be out this afternoon. Some of the bal_ ances have not yet been determined, but it is thought at the Secretary's office that the total reduction will be about fifteen millions. Cabinet 6leetlug.

' ;such a system is eminently humane and wise, when the discretion exercised is a sound and legal discretion, and not the re sult of caprice. While we would administer the criminal law kindly, without malice or passion, we cannot aflord any experiment in a large city like this In the present condition of society. We must, therefore, adhere to what we know to be safe—a firm administra tion of the law. Either the law or crime will rule.
