3 BE ENEEILET TREATY.
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

therefore, we fear they will secure the . services

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

of housekeepers and owners. IL would 114) to

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.

Gelneral William Terry, who commanded

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

and Gen. Terry will probably be elected.

SI NIJAY, July 31.—The natural disposition to Inac
tivity of the Wall street markets incident to this sea , on
of the year asserted itself the' peat week, particularly as
the war in Eur..pe had made Little progress so far as
actual fielding is concerned. As the week derail:, .d
the stock market became heavy and prices sharply de
cited. the features being a fall in New York 4entr..l
stock to J 4:., Central scrip to 8e.14 and Lake Shore to
831 i. Tla.se prices permitting a favorable oppor
tunity for the covering of outstanding contracts on
the part of those who had sold on the prosysact of
war in Europe, there was a rally toward the end of the
week which was not maintained to the very clove, how•
ever. On the last day the street was almost deserted,
owing' to the departure of a larg.: number of dealers for
the country. '1 he transaction.' in stocks for the Week
weir thus quite limited.and therecord of the Board sales
iv the lightest for many weeks. The Stock Exchange
will be cloed until one o'clock Monday out of respect
to the late Benjamin Nat letn. and in order to permit the
hankers and brokers to attend the funeral services at
the lelftli Avenue Betel.

The gold market was steady in comparison to the
Carder excitement following the declaration of war be
tween France and Prussia. Its undoubted tendency was
tow ardx mud) lower prices on the abatement of the mon
etary melte:tient in London, with the attendant sharp
recovery In the price of American securities. which in
fluences would have been operative had not a strong
speculative buying movement been stimulated by the
