THE POSITION OF ENGLAND.
'ale peculiar perplexities in which the British
i.‘erortient gjust now involved-inconsequence
of the war between France and Prussia, give
to England a position in the eyes of the World,
more prominent than that of any of the non
belligerent European powers. Before the
publication of the secret treaty proposed to ,
Prussia by France, there was not, at the worst,
in England, anything more than avague notion
that Napoleon bad designs upon thelndepend
ence of Belgium which might insure the
absorption of that kingdom into France if the
war resulted disastrously to Prussia. England,
although peculiarly pledged as she was to the
protection of the inviolability of Belgium, seems
to have. regarded the perpetration of such an
act of violence by France as too improbable, or
at, least too remote, to require any very decided
action on her part. Even if the government
did not take exactly this view of the matter,
the people did, and there was no popular
pressure, of any . considerable kind for active
demonstration. The publication of the
secret treaty; however, opened the eyes
of the nation to the true character of the
ultimate designs of Napoleon. The English
people perceived with alarm that the French
Emperor aimed at nothing less than extinct ion
of theiringdom - of Belgium. - It was easy - and
natural to construct from this proposed insult
to and defiance_ of England, the theory for
which there appears to be reasonable founda
tions; that, Prussia defeated, Napoleon in
tended to attack England and to avenge the
last arid guiltiest of the four great powers
which secured the overthrow . and exile of ,he
great Napoleon. English papers began to point
to the fact that the present Emperor, with
patient coolness and ingenuity, had already
inflicted terrible blows upon two of the powers,
upon Russia hi the Crimea and upon Austria
in Italy. It was easy to argue that this appa
rently causeless war-with Prussia had for its
actual-motive a desire on the part of Napoleon
to*a,tengb his hereditary wrongs upon Prussia;
and it was easier still to show that he was
saving for the latest and most fearful vengeance
the nation whieh bad made Waterloo terrible
and bad acted as the jailer of Napoleon the
First.
The British people no sooner comprehended
these apparent facts and the probabilities wide'
they shadowed in the future, than there was a
general demand for immediate warlike pupa
ration by the government, and for armed oc.
cupation of Belgium instead of empty protest:
against invasion of its neutrality by the French
unsupported by any display of power. Th ere
has been no response by the government. to
this eager popular demand. Mr. Gladstone
fas exhibited singular hesitancy about commit
ting himself to any decided foreign policy. H.
has doubted and temporized and displayed re
markable timidity beneath the extraordin
pressure suddenly brought to bear upon him
and he has seemed afraid to depart from the
later tradition that England's true policy was
non-interference in continental quarrels
There is no room for doubt that his govern
ment, for this reason, has become very unpopu
lar within the last fortnight, and that a large
portion of the people are ready to give enthusi
astic support to any leader, or any party, who
will assume a bold attitude, and place England
in a position to protect Belgium and
command the respect of France. D'ls
raeli, with customary promptness, has
seized the opportunity, and has become the ad
vocate of the popular theories and the bully of
the Gladstone government. Unless the Premier
very soon 'determines to take prompt and de
cisive action in the direction indicated by the
popular clamor, it is not at all unlikely he may
be driven to resignation, and that D'lsraeli,
the happy accident of this uproar,will once more
assume control of the government. lie will
of course, be committed to a policy which will
fill\ Belgium with British troops, and will
crowd the waters of the North Sea with British
Ships of war Unless the French: army has
most remarkable success in its Prussian cam
paign- this action of England will certainly in
sure absolute respect for the neutrality of Bel
gium. That neutrality is protected now by a
flimsy agreement which Napoleon would vio
late in an instant if it was to his advantage and
he could do it with safety.
It is nearly certain that the people of
ngland are right in their demand for this
demonstration on the part of their government.
It has a warlike appearance, but it will be the
surest guarantee of peace. England has
almost entirely lest her influence in Europe
through'ber persistent adherence during recent
years to her policy of non-intervention; itnd
her army is now so much reduced and so
widely distributed, and the country generally
is so poorly prepared for war, that her wishes
would hardly be taken into consideration by
France, if the French army was flushed with
victory, and the nation intoxicated with the
glory of having beaten the Prussians. In such
an event it is nearly certain that Belgium
would be seized, and England would be coin.
• pelled lb fight or to stiller immiliatiOn which
.
Would be tenfold more disastrous. If England
occupies Belgium now, and by ample prepara
tion demonstrates her ability and determina
tion to enforce respectful consideration of her
wishes, It is more than likely that she will not
have to fight. It is'eatier and safer to assume
a bold attitude - now and prevent a shameful
insult than to avenge the insult when it is
offered.. Even if he should come out victorintis
from a desp'.?rate struggle with Prussia,
lt.Wl \Nth out attetupt to .opay 11ratellou oil
St. Helena 'with his exhausted armies, if
England is prepared to meet him. He will
wait; and the hourfortis revenge may never
come.
After all, this sentimental idea of vengeance
does not _depend_for 7 . its, _faifillinent___entirely_
upon Napoleon's will. Fortunate chance en
abled him to gratify his wish in 'the cases of
Russia and Austria. . He has boldly made an
opportunity in the case of Prussia; bid, it is far
from certain that-he-will have such success. as
he had in the Crimea and in Italy. He is light
ing against a powerful and enthusiastic nation,
which will never . yield short of destruction.
His third attempt to avenge the fancied inju
ries of his family may result in his own de
struction, or he may die before the contest is
decided, and England's time may never come.
The result is in the hands of Providence;
Louis Napoleon does not control it in any sig
nificant measure. But as there may be inop
portunity and a •disposition- to strike at England
be.praduht ior her to be ready. Per yaps
her very readiness may make it impossible that
her turn should ever come.
THE NEWS PIONOPOLY.
The arrogance of the seven New York news
paper publishers who have been permitted to
control the news of the whole American press,
for many years past, is working out its legiti
mate results. -Six-months ago it forced the
American Press Association into existence by
its rapacious charges, its insolent dictation and
its tyrannical attempts to prevent the growth
of American journalism. The unexpected suc
cess of that Association, which has given vitality
to the newspaper, business all over the country,
by its vigorous prosecution of its liberal policy,
would have taught wise men a wholesome les
son, and induced them to recognize the fact,
that, even if Manhattan Island is the centre of
the American Universe,its domain does not ex-
end throughout its circumference. But the
little newspaper clique which constitutes the
New York Associated Press is not wise. In
stead of relinquishing its monopolizing pre
tenSiZES, and confessing that it can no longer
u,iVe s 'arbitrary law to the whole press of Ameri
ca, its chagrin at the success, of the American
Press Association makes it crazier than ever in
the insolence of its assumption of supreme sov
ereignty.
!The latest exhibition, of this : insane- folly-has
been made by Mr. Simonton in Virginia,
where he has undertaken to excommunicate
the Petersburg Index, because that paper had
the independence to criticize the stale war news
doled out to it by the New York Associated
Press. The Index flatly refused to retract or
rip . Ologize for its comments, and the New York
autocrat ordered it to summary execution.
Evidently, the Associated Press has reckoned
without its host, for not only has the liub'x
boldly declared its independence, but has ral
' lied the Virginia press to its support. The
RiChmond State Journal has come promptly;
to the rescued, and says :
" We heartily join with the Index in de
nouncing the flagrant injustice perpetrated
against the Southern press by Simonton and
his agents, and will co-operate in any action
that may be taken to promote our common
interest against this insolent monopoly."
A banner so boldly raised in Virginia will
rally the whole press of the State around it.
The American Press Association is ready to
supply these rebels against Now York arro
gance with the means of securing their imme
diate independence, and the Petersburg liule.r
yesterday published the important news of the
battle' of Weissembourg. half a day in advance
zf the papers of the old concern. Arrange
ments, which we do not care to make public
lust now, are already nearly completed, which
will place the Southern press upon a wholly inde
pendent footing, while from New England and
from the West, the American Press Associa
..ion is in possession of intelligence, which will
soon make more ridiculous than ever the
boasts of the dependants of the New York
monopoly, that they are the sole, and only, and
xclusive and peculiarly favored recipients of
he "cold victuals" of their lordly masters of
he New York Associated Press.
Mr. Simonton has made many bad blunders,
but he never made one so absurdly bad as
whin lie undertook to muzzle the press of Vir
ginia in its bold exposure of the miserable
news-service to which it bas so long and so
needlessly submitted.
POLICE SCHOOL WANTED
The slight " unpleasantness" which oc
curred on Thursday morning at the fire at Cary,
Lincoln & Co.'s, where our amiable police
proposed to club Chief Engineer Downey for
exercising his lawful authority, is another illus
tration of the great need which exists for a
police school. Many of the present police are
so ignorant of the first principles of their func
tions that it is not to be wondered at that they
commit— such egregious blunders, and get
themseh'es into such numerous scrapes.
One or two of the , more recent exhibiti6iis
of police ignorance that have come under our
immediate notice may serve to illustrate the
advantage of a good course of lectures on the
ordinances of the city of Philadelphia and the
duty of the police. A few days ago, a venerable
lady politely accosted one of the " guardians ''
with the etiestion : " My friend, can you tell
me whose duty it is to remove dead animals
from the streets ?" pointing to the carcase of a
dog which just then ornainented one of the
highways. The policeman promptly and po-.
litely replied : "Indeed, madam, I don't know!"
and peacefully went his way. Now it is true
that it was not directly his (ay, but it would
be desirable for him to know whose duty it
was, and he might then not only be able to give
useful information to citizens, but even to see,
himself, that the prorer authorities were noti_
tied that their services were needed. On an
other recent occasion; we observed a large-sized
policeman hustling a small-sized boy with a
heaVy wheelbarrow from the sidewalk into the
street. The zeal displayed by the "guardian"
showed that he thought he was doing his duty,
and yet. we do not recollect that the ordinance
permitting wheelbarrows on the sidewalk until
eight o'clock in the Morning has evert been re: :
pealed,
A course of lectures'on the general duties of
the police might, be arranged, for the coming
fall; taking - the Police Manual for one of the
text-books. Hi.; Honor Mayor Fox, Chief
Mulholland, the Hon. Richard Vaux,Alderman

could furnish an exhaustive lecture on that in-.

We are sure that such a course of lectures,
during the coming season,, would be of great
value to the police, and we trust that the kindl)
suggestion which we have made will betaken
up in the spirit in which it is ofibred, and ear

we can give to the police authorities in this di

THE 110114EOPATH IC HOSPITAL
We give in our local columns, to-day, an in
teresting account of the new Homccopathic
Hospital, the erection of which on Cuthbert
street, has been commenced. The history of
the ellorts.in.-this city.-to esMblish„...at_ different
times, Hommopathic Hospitals if written up,
would be interesting. The last effort of the
kind was made shortly after the commence
ment of the late civil war. A large sum
of money was raised 't and - the
purpose was to furnish accommodations for
wounded and sick soldiers who might Wan!
HOM 'opathic treatment. Accordingly the
buildings occupying the site of the present pro
perty were converted into a small hospital
st,:table lot. about twenty-five beds. These
beds were °tiered to the Government for the
use of the wounded and sick, free -of cost,
either for medicines, board or treatment. The
offer was not only contetnptuously rejected,bat
the managers were notified that :any _soldier
found tinder treatmerit.in _the hospital would
be treated as a 'deserter, and, the manag er. would be held guilty of harboring deserters !
For reasons which need not be mentioned
here, but which cannot occur again, the further
attempt to keep up a hospital was discontinued.
and during the past seven years only one ward.
with a few beds, has been in use for such sur
gical cases of a serious character as might re
quire hospital attention after operation, in the
college amphitheatre. Connetted also with thi,
has been a regular dispensary service; several
thousand patients being prescribed for either at
the hospital or visited at their houses, yearly.
Homeopathy has struggled bravely forward.
in the face of all the natural opposition of the
old school of medicine, and, however men may
differ on the scientific and technical questions.
involved in the controversy, two facts have es
tablished themselves beyond dispute. Homeo
pathy has impressed itself powerfully on the
whole practice of medicine in the Allopathic
school, and it has drawn around it the support,
not only of a large amount of highly cultivated
professional intelligence, but of a very large
portion of the educated, wealthy, and influential
classes of the community. It has established
its own College, with a ral idly growing prosper
ity; and now it is laying the foundations
of a Hospital, in immediate connection with its
College, which will at once add largely to the
accommodation of the sick poor of Philadel
phia, and afibrd to the Homeopathic school
largely increased educational facilities.
Whether we accept the tenets of Hahne
mann or not, it must be confessed that the
new doctrine has fairly won its way to a posi
tion where it can claim recognition as a legiti
mate and scientific school of medicine, and the
erection of its new Hospital becomes an evens
which Philadelphia at large will regard as a
most important addition to her charitable in
stitutions.
The attempt that is now being made by
politicians and by certain Nveak-minded philan
thropists to induce President Grant to pardon
the Fenian convict " General" O'Neill, will
not find favor with the respectable and sensi.
ble people of the country. This man, despite
his absurd cowardice and the ridiculous charac
ter of his expedition, deliberately violated the
laws of this country and attempted to murder
the citizens of Canada. He failed to take the
lives of innocent men and to destroy their pro
perty, not because he lacked the desire to do
so, but because lie had not sufficient brains
and courage. 'lf our law is worthy of respect
its shameful infraction by this . man should be
punished with as little mercy as we should dis
play If he had committed any ordinary crime.
The semi-political character of the offence, and
the plea of patriotic devotion ought 'to have no
influence in mitigating the severity of the
penalty. O'Neill's raid was the direct con
sequence of the criminal leniency displayed to
ward former Fenian outlaws by Andrew .
Johnson. O'Neill calculated that, in the
event of failure, be could easily secure pardon
through political influence, and the rewuness
which Ire surrendered_himself- to llieUrii
ted States Marshal is proof of the fact that be
had faith in the traditional good nature of the
government in such cases. If he is pardoned
now we shall simply place a premium on this
kind of rascality, and it may be regarded as.
absolutely certain that O'Neill's experiment
Will he repeated by him or by some other
Irishman as soon as a good opportunity offers.

business, for tbe sake of our self-respect, the

must make an example of some of theSe un

very well for the purpose. We hope and be

outrage, that this convict was - a - haunter) of
hose-houses, and one of that class of young
men known as "fire runners." This fact was
accidentally elicited by the attempt of his
counsel to prove an alibi. We have little•
doubt that if the truth was known, it would bi
Mund that every one of the villains who par - -
icipated in the horrible crime. belonged to the
•ame class, and that all of them received their
'riminal education in the same school of
;iiiquity. The rapidity and certainty with
which outlaws are bred in these_p_laces is wel;
known, and the consequences of such training,
are so apparent in the frequent acts of incen
illarism and in the minor outrages committed
in this city, that it might be thought every good
•itizetr would be an earnest advocate of the
diolition of a system which produced such
pernicious and dangerous results. We shall
not make crime impossible by organizing a
paid fire department, but -we -shall-ati-least
destroy one of the means by which villainously
disposed young men are able to spend their
holm In idleness together and to plot rascality.
In a despatch" from Paris, this morning, the
Associated Press asserts that 1 , there has been
no collision at sea betwen France and Prussia
thus far," an then denies the American Press
Association report published a day or two ago,.
to the effect that tbe Prussians had suffered de
feat in the North Sea. This story came from
French sources, and may or may not be true
but it is hardly - lionek fOi the .Associated Press
to undertake to impress the readers of its jour
nals with the conviction. that this was the only
report of the kind in circulation. In its
despatches from Paris, on Wednesday, it -gave•
an account of a fearful naval• battle in thy•
Baltic, during which two Prussian ships were
captured. Of course, both associations, in the
flurry of war tinie,will occasionally be imposed
upon by false reports, but for the Associated
Press to claim infallibility; aiid to attempt to
charge that its rival makes all the mistakes, is
ridiculous,
It is suggested, with some appearance of rea
son, that the sympathy of the people of this
country should be given entirely to the French
army, since it has been announced. that " nine
hundred medical students have been sent from
Paris to the front." It seems uncommonly
hard that the poor French conscripts, besides
the peril of slaughter at the bands of' the Prus
sians, should be exposed to butchery from their
own countrymen.

Movements of the srmles-•-The Prussian
Programme.
LONDON, Aug. Gth.—The Tine , " special cur
respondence at the front telegraphs to that
journal the probable plan of the Prussian
campaign. He opines that Prussia's plan of
attack is to envelope the French army in the
coils of three great German armies. Prince
Frederick Charles, on the Prussian right, will
attack the French left from Troves, probably
moving upon Thionville. Crown Prince
Frederick William, leading the left wing of
the Prussian army, will matte an offensive
movement from Landau.
Simultaneously with these operations upon
the right and left, General Von Steinmetz
will 'co-operate by an advance from the cen
tre by way of Kaiserlautem and Saarbruck•
This advance will form a formidable line of
attack. If the tactics of the Germans care
carried out successfully within the next few
days a decisive battle will be fought before
Metz. Meanwhile fighting is constantly
taking place along the' line of both armies,
from Treves, on the north, to Lauterbourg,
on the south, describing a line of battle one
hundred miles in length.
The London Telegraph assumes that is the
Prussian aim to secure possession of thi South
or French bank of the - - Lauter river,---and
that the attack on Weissenburg was in pursu
ance of a determination to follow this line of
offensive operations in the South. The pos
session of Lauter insures for the Prussians au
excellent stragotic position, commanding the
great plain between the Vosges mountains
and the Rhine, and forms a base for opera
tions in the vicinity of Strasbourg. This ad
vantage of the Prussran left will most likely
be supported by a simultaneous invasion of
France by the Moselle valley.

FRIDAY, August s.—The range of the gold premium
today was within the narrow limits of threeteigliths per

abatenont of excitement concerning the war in Europe
and on the other to the general dulness of all the nuir.
keta. The causes operating at the present time are so
equally divided in their influence upon the course
of the market that steadiness might very poasibly be
the result even in a more active ono.
The foreign bankers are openly the present " bears"
in the Gold Room, and they base their operations on
the strong reaction in American securities on the other
side of the Atlantic, '62's in Loudon having risen to 8356
this afternoon, as against 7900 in the earlier stages of
the depression in England resulting from the outbreak
of hostilities between France and Prussia. Opposed to
this movement is a strongly bullish sentiment on the
part of the domestic speculators and among some of our
merchants, who look for at Tenet no lower
price for gold at this season, when the cotton
exports are slowly tapering to their minimum. Stow
far we shall need to settle the balance of -trade with
specie exports hi the interval to the now cotton crop de
pends, again, on the balance of trade itself. The sta
tistics in another column, furnished by the department
at Washington, show that for eleven out of the twelve
months of the expired fiscal year the imports exceeded
the
.exports by the trifle of only.Rapuov, so that a now
element. enters hitt) the calc.ulation, or rather there is
absence in a-great-xneueure -of-the usual basis for specie
exports, We have hut a trilling balance against us.
The steadiness of the gold market is, therefore, readily
accounted ter.
The foreign exchanges were moderately active and

French Account or the Battle of Weltmen
hen ra:
PARIS, Aug. 6.—The Journal oSlaiel in ,its
issue this morning contains official intelligence
received at the French war office of the late
battle of Weissenbourg.
The Journal's official despatches say that :a
force of eight thousand French were en
gaged at Weissenbourg, against two Prus
sian corps de armee, composed of the elite of
the Prussian Guard, in a terrific action.
The French retired, after ;a heroic resistance
of several hours.
The enemy's loss was so considerable he
was unable to pursue the retreating forces
While at Saarbruek we have cut the enemy's
line, our own line is still unbroken.
-- ft is stated that the Freneh General Douay;
killed at Weissenbourg, was not' commander
of the Seventh Army Corns, but commander
of a division of infantry in Marshal Mac-
M ah on's corps.

Reception of the News of the Battle of
LoNnoN, August 6.—The news of the defeat
of the French at Weissenbourg was received
in Paris last evening, and, though not com
municated officially, created the most intense
excitement.
The news of the battle created an intense
effervescence on the Boulevards. The shops
and offices of money changers suspected of
Prussian sympathies or nationality were vio
lently assaulted.
The police patroled the streets in force, and
prevented the doors of the shops from being
driven in. The ferment continued until about
ten o'clock, when it subsided upon the an
nouncement that the French reverse in the en
counter was owtng to the numerical supe
riority of the Prussian corps.

INTERESTING TO HORSEMEN-
Lady Thorne not Seriously Injured
The Buffalo Courier of yesterday says : Spe
cial despatches from Rochester, published yet -
terday afternoon, announced that the Queen
of the Turf, Lady Thorne, had injured herself'
getting into a car of that city for transportation
to.Bubfalo... It„is_with,feeiings of the greatest
satisfaction that we announce - the facts in the
case. Lady Thorne was going into the freight
car in the Rochester depot, yesterday morning,
and bad to walk up an inclined plank which
had no railing.
There was a crowd about, anxious for ti
glimpse at the great flyer. Frightened at tb , •
novelty of the situation, she started back
when part way up the plank, her hind leg
slipped and she fell off, coming down on her
hip. The fall was less than a foot and a ha 4,
but she struck on a bone which corresponds to
the "crazy bone" in the human arm, and wai
'temporarily lamed, so ,that she hobbled on
three legs. Dan Mace, who had her in charg,,,
was naturally alarmed, and thought she
was ruined; and this fact, added to her
going out of the depot as she did,
and the lack .of competent veterinary skill in
Rochester, aceountS for the despatches sent
early in the day. Before the old mare got
back to her stable she was using the leg. Wil
liam Somerville, the veterinary surgeon of
Butlalo was telegraphed for, and went down
by the afternoon train; As soon as he saw the
Lady he assured Mace that the injury did nut
amount to anything, and last evening, at Ro
chester, she took her exercise as naturally as
usual. She is as certain to trot next Friday
over the Buffalo track as if she had never
stopped in Rochester.
BED CLOUD.
lie is Working for Peace
The Omaha Republican, of Aug. 3, says we
are indebted to Gen.Ruggles for the following,
letter : •
• Foul , LARAMIN, Aug; 1, 1870-To Gektcrut
Ruggles,, Omaha :L•Yellp,w ,Bear, one of ,thy
delt gates to Washington, with Red Cloud;lm;
just been here, with several Indians from his
camp on Lane° Creek. A runner eatne.there
from Red Cloud, who wasthen on Powder
Jiver; tvitti some 30 lodges of ClitTeune,9ool.
lowing up the main village of Cheyennes fur
ther north. Be is exerting a beneficial influ
ence among the Sioux, and hopes to persuade
tbe Cheyennes and Arrapahoes to keep peace
with the whites;
he will visit all the bands of
Sioux, using Inslauthority and. influence for
- peace.
Yellow Bear says the young braves have
listened to Red Cloud and their prominent
chiefs,and that there are no war parties now
__out. Game is scarcer; the families are greatly
in need of provisions: I occasionally issue
small supplies. The Indians have behaved
well throughout this region since Red Cloud
went to Washington. They appear sinters
in their professions of± peace and friendship,
and no depredations have been committed. If
the Government promptly and faithfully per.
forms its part, I believe there will be no
trouble to speak of with these Sioux. They
often Inquire about the Commissioners. It
is hoped they will very soon come out and
arrange all matters satisfactorily. The Indian
must steal—involving loss of life—or be fed by
the Government, and arrangements should be
made at once.
