theAar_th German Gazette (the Berlin organ of
Count Bismarck) on Wednesday. - It charges
England with " being a French arnenal for the
manufacture of cartridges to shobt down. the
sons of Germany," and reminds Englishmen
of the loss that would follow to their com
merce if Prussia allowed France to absorb
Belgium. The refusal of the British Govern
ment to consider coal as contraband of war is
also causing considerable dissatisfaction in
Prussia, as the movements of the French fleet
would be seriously retarded if the export of
coal. from. England were prohibited. The
London Post is very irate at the un
mistakable menace contained in Count Bis

in the event of her violating the neutrality of

be the Power whose commerce and prestige
she has threatened to extinguish. Another

• of an offer made in 1866, according to which
France proposed to aid Prussia with 300,000
men against Austria, and to permit Prussia's
aggrandizement by six or eight millions of
subjects in return for the cession to France
of the_district _between _the Mine-and- the -.Mo—
selle. The impossibility of agreeing to this
course was clear to all except French diplo
matists. On this proposition being rejected,
the French government began to calculate
upon our defeat. France has not ceased to
tempt us with offers to be carried out at the
cost of Germany and Belgium. In the interests
of peace I kept them secret. After. the Lux

A queer Sort of Theory._ _
The'rreen - i an's Jolt the leading Catholic
- ; - ottrnal of this country, takes the following
utterly preposterous view .of :Napoleon's dis
asters:
Under date of July - 30th, the Papal Govern
ment at Rome has addressed to all its agents,
at Inane and abroad, its declaration ocom
plete neutrality in regard to the war pending
between France and Prussia. How are the
9 1, .. 1, rme ) iieltesK:tlatlioiimor - PT.Otestanti that hate
ileclared this a war of religions-creeds, going
to get over this? Do they claim to understand
Catholic interests better than the Holy Father
and the Court of Rome? Some do! And we
pity their self-conceit.
We believe in no Divine right lines of suc
cession to temporal thrones. Nor do we be
lieve in any .Heaven-given prerogative, for
any temporal power to be God-chosen pro
tector 01 the Holy See. France has had this
place for a long time. But it looks as if,
under the Carb(MUTO Napoleon 111., she is
about to lose it.
What happens? His best marshals are found
unprepared on the field of battle. Soldiers
are found without cartridges when attacked
by the enemy. French armies are found with
out videttes to warn them of coming attacks.
The French armies, without any regard to
their well-known martial magnificence, are
crumpled up and slaughtered, by wholesale,
by the Prussians.
So much for the Napoleon dynasty that
abandoned the Pope, and was instantly aban
doned by the Lord of Heaven, whose Vicar

Napoleon was that, at certain times, and to a

Cfesarfstu and Defeat.
Mr. G. W. Curtis says in Hamper's Weekly for
this wenk :
The most poWerful argument in historical
experience for the practical superiority of, the
popular form of government was the compo
sure with which this country; at the end of a
terrible civil war,. endured the assassination of
its Chief Magistrate. There was a great shock,
a, profound sorrow and indignation, and public
tianquillity immediately settled Over the trage
dy like the deep sea over a stone cast into it.
It may be truly said that there was no appre
hension of any interruption of the operation
of the government. There was merely a cu
rious looking to see if perfect provision had
i
been made for its continuance n the event of
the assassination of all - the chief officers. The
secret of the public security was that the Gov
ernment represents the popular with
The folly of Cfesarism, of any form of per
sonal government, in a modern state of high
civilization, is now apparent. The Pli.4,biscitum
has been cited as proof of the essential popu
larity and consequent strength of the empire.
What are the facts? In 1852 Louis Napoleon
was elected Emperor by nearly 8,000,000 of
votes against less than 300,000. In 1870 his
title was confirmed by a vote of 7,000,000 against
1;600,000. Louis Napoleon said, "The nation
has settled the question." This was at the end
of May. In the beginning of August he loses
a battle, and the question proves to be wholly
unsettled. His throne totters not from the
threat of a foreign foe, but from domestic hos-
Wily. Yet there has been no serious change of
public opinion. In the spring Louis Napoleon
said, "I giveyou the alternative—Lint empire .
.Or; anarchy." France could not, of Course, Vete
for anarchy,and it supported the empire as the
least'of two evils. But the empire was not the
choice Of France.
.If seven millions of Frenchmen had really
and honestly sup - ported the Napoleoniau dy
nasty in May, does anybody suppose that a
military reverse' in August would have endan
gered it? On the contrary, nothing would
have so strengthened it. The effect of the
first defeat in this war is to show the utter
hollowness of the Napoleonic system; and,
.whatev.er.thefuture.chances of the campaign

American A3nipatily for Prussia.
Ilarper's Weekly says :
In the present war there is really but one
party in this country as elsewhere. It is a war
•in which Napoleon is on one -side and the
rest of the world on the other: The largo
number of citizens in, the United States of
German birth naturally sympathize with their
fatherland, and eloquently express that sym
pathy. Some of the leaders of the Republican
party, with which they are generally
. allied,
-Lave declared their interest in the German
cause and their ardent hopes for its success.
But such sympathy is in no proper sense
partisan. It is the instinctive feeling of all
intelligent men. They perceive that this is
really a war waged by Louis Napoleon for his
own - private per - sonar interest, although under
the name of France. And they acknowledge
the simple truth of Bing William's declara
tion am compelled to draw the sword to
ward off a wanton attack-,--It is a great conso
lation to me before God and man that I:have•
in no way given a pretext for it. Itly con
science acquits me of having provoked pa
war, and I am certain of the righteousness of
our cause in the sight,of . .•-
The whole moral sympathy of the United
States,-therefore,-is aga i nst - th e-wantorrbre-ake-r—
-of the peace of the world. But we are, of
course, neutrals in acti6n, although not in
feeling. Net is there-anything more comic
than a sermon upon the necessity and pro
priety of neutral feeling; or a suggestion that,
as we are neutrals, our moral sense must be
suspended. It was not suspended when Tur
key tortured Greece, in 1823; nor more
recently when the same power was throttling
Crete. Yet our sympathy-is hardly likely to,
display itself, as that with France was dis
played in 1793, by raising a liberty cap in the
New York Exchange, draped with the united
hags of two countries. It is not a sympathy
which will disturb international relations,
because it comprehends the criminal folly of
taking a part iu every quarrel.

people that they ()light to return 500 votes. -At_
noon they had got 412, and the census return
shows that there are but 150 men, women and

place a judge. --,- of election coolly tore up a
Maxwell ticket and threw it under the table •
instead of depositing it in the ballot-box. Call

ballots for them, and, soon after, they marched
up to the poll and vOted themselves. Here in

naturalized by ie Probate Courts, and had
voted on the strength of such naturalization
for years without question, were informed that

DISRAELI AND THE ROTHSCHILDS
Appearance of the Author of 6 . Lot hat r.'
A London correspondent of the New York
P ,, st says :
Passing down Piccadilly a few afternoons
ago, .I saw the author of " Lothair " alight
frum his barouche, in which was seated " Vis
ountess Beaconsfield," at Baron Rothschild's
splendid mansion. L could perceive no differ
ence in his appearance since I saw him two
years ago; he has the same easy walk and
lithe figure. Probably he is the best known
public man in London since the days of Lord
Brougham. He is not in the least like any
one else, and the worst memory for faces
could not fail-to retain a recollection of his.
Baron Rothschild's mansion stands next to
that of the Duke of Wellington, which it
quite overshadows, at Hyde Park corner, and
litt:t not long been completed. It
.is,. on a
princelYscale, and the interior has been fitted
"at defiance of expense,'Lt e -j/Sl3 Lthe..,plirase
tdogy of that monarch of ' afictioneers, Mr.
George Robins. The house 'gives," at the
back on Hamilton Gardens, an aristocratic
triange of land nipped in years gone by from
Hyde Park. The Rothschilds have taken root
very kindly in English soil, and their rural
palaces at Gunnersbury and Mentmore are on
a scale of splendor similar to the house in
town. They enjoy here a high reputation for
liberality in all well authenticated objects of
charity, and mix in the highest society.

The Great American Desert still claims an
existence, with its onethousand miles of North
and 6oUth length and its one hundred miles in
East and West breadth, and Captain John

Company, further claims that ho knows that
a large faction of the Piuto Indians dwell
therein. This "-Desert Indian" living where
a running stream is almost entirely :Unknown,
where allis sand and rocky mountains, with
almost a total absence of water in the air, so
that the solar heat is fearful in its intensity,
ranging from 120 to 100' degrees Fahrenheit,
and where there are stretches of ono hundred
miles without grass or water, must needs be
hollow-checked, thin, lithe, and active ; and
his necessities render him superior in en

to all neighboring tribes.
We are told that they have wonderful ca

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF ERIE.
A Shadow of a ("Treat Strategic More.
ment•-.llbreatening Consolidation of
the !Mortgage Debt—Startling. News
for Stockholders—Hurt Planked... The
Present Management hntrenching
hemftelres.
The New York - Bert/1d says :
Financial circles have been somewhat
stirred recently by a rumor that the Erie man
agement intended some granji coup. With a
view to determine the importance of such a
iumor a herald reporter called at the gilded
palace of King Corporation, on Twenty-third
street, yesterday, to ascertain what the medi
tated mane uvre amounted to. Everybody,
however, showed an alacrity of ignorance on
the subject, and the main spring, Mr. Gould,
went under cover_ on hearing a Herald re
porter wanted to review him, and declined
giving an audience. The employes, taking
their cue from the manager, bluffed off all
questions, and seemed to move aboutas myste
riously as scouts on a picket line. Failing to'
acquire information in that quarter Wall
street was next tried with more satisfactory
result. Therelt was learned that it was the
intention of the Erie management to create a
consolidated mortgage on the property of the
company. The fallowing is
VlntfatTla Feared.
The...genius of Fish and Gould has never
been more perfectly demonstrated than in the
successful way in which they haveeSucceeded
in gutting through the Legislature acts to per
petuate their control of Erie. The famous
Classification. bill, which has almost become a
political issue, does not need reference here.
Again, at the last Legislature, a bill was in
troduced granting them the privilege of avail
ing themselves of the • legislation.. of 6ther
States into which their franchise extends, the
effect of which would have been that even if
Mr. Burt had succeeded in procuring the re
peal of the Classification bill in this State the
present Erie management could have con
tinued their tenure of office by classifying
under the law of Pennsylvania.
Duringthe - same ses.sion a bill was intro
duced, 'but not passed, whereby a majority of
the mortgage creditors of any railroad in this
State could "obtain control of the road by a
summary process of foreclosure,to be followed
by the organization of a new corporation un
der their direction. The Herald financial
article called attention to this bill at the time
of its introduction, and sueested that it might
be intended to subserve the interests of the
present Erie management in enabling them
to strengthen their hold upon-the road. This
notice,
however, failed at the time to excite
more tllan the ordinary daily comment in fi-
nancial circles, the general impression then
being that the bonded debt ,of Erie was mostly
belnbroutsidem — lnterest - in - tlie - sulfftet has,
however, been revived by the publication in
a weekly.journal of the following advertise
nient
Notice is hereby Wren, as required by law,
that it is the intention of the .Erie Railway
Company to create a consolidated mortgage
on the property of the Company.
31.,..531rrit, Assistant Se,cretary.
This important .notice has since appeared-in
other journals; but the circumstance of its
first publication in a weekly paper, and one
not particularly addressing itself to the finan
cial world, has increased the curiosity felt as
to its precise meaning.
The - Funded Debt.
_
The present funded debt of the road is
The Mortgage Debt
amounts to . 1 18,:i4i1,500, and probably this only,
it is believed, would participate in the general
consolidated mortgage. In this event the Buf
falo Branch bonds and the English deben
tures, with all the debt of the company below
the fifiU - mortgage, including stock - , bot•li com
mon and preferred, would be in danger of be
coming valueless.
A Railroad Coup d'Etat.
If at any time it suits the convenience of the
majority of the mortgagees, which is very
likely already the present management, to
take forever possession of the' road, all they
require to do is to fail to pay the interest on
the mortgage when due, and then to foreclose
such mortgage. By these proceedings the
whole of the stock, common as well as pre
(erred and all the other indebtednesB of the
company would be thrown out, and so the on
tire property would pass into the full lega
ownersiup of the holders of such mortgage
bonds, who could form a company among
themselves.
The interpretation put upon the notice given
abo'-e in Wall street is that the entire of this
debt of over $23,000,000, which is supposed to
be now mostly, if not entirely, owned by the
present Erie management, is to be funded in
one single mortgage,
intended to cover the en
tire property of the Erie railway.
It will thus be seen that this great road, its
valuable franchises', immense equipment, re
presenting millions, anti with yearly gross
earnings amounting to $16,721,000, is placed
within the grasp of, any capitalist or clique of
capitalists who can get possession of the ma
jority of its mortgage debt,
only amounting to
about eighteen million dollars, in the event of
any interruption in the payment of the in
terest, which even might be brought about
any time by collusion, thus °tiering the
strongest 'temptation to conspiracies against
the interests of its real proprietors, the stock
holders. -
A GYPSY TGIC-11i.
How They MOsmerlzed a Lady and
Pillaged Her Besidence.
[ From the Rutland t Vt.) Honda, August 15.]
There has been for some days past an en
campment of what May be called gypsies, in
Rutland, their -- camping , ground having been
changed froth time to time if not from day to
day. On Saturday last two of them called at
- the residence of Mrs. Hubbard, a widow lady,
residing on the corner of Wales and West
streets, with some baskets, which they offered
for sale. Upon Mrs. Hubbard's declining to
purchase they entered into conversation with
her, and one of them, observing that she bad
a small bunch on her forehead, proposed to re
move it. Mrs. Hubbard informed her that it
originated with au injury she had received
some yearsago, and that as it had affected the
bone it could not be remedied, where
upon one of the gypsies made a pretence of
examining the bunch, and commenced
passing her hands over Mrs. Hubbard's face.
This is the last she remembers of this transac
tion at the time. On the next day, Sunday,
wishing to use some money, she went to the
plabe where she was in the habit of keeping
it, but could not find any, and upon further
search it was ascertained that a dozen silver
spoons and some other articles were missing.
Mrs. Hubbard then remembered that she was
unconscious at the time these two women left,
and that there had been during the rest of the
day a strange feeling of dizziness in her head,
and her suspicions were at once aroused that
she had been magnetized by. these women,
and that, taking advantage of her uncoil
:scions condition, they . bad taken the
money, silver, &e., with them. Procuring a
:Main she.:stfirted, the 'direction. of their
• enearepteent, - andlakingAtdVice Pr( - ietreclett to
procure a' search-warrant 'and an officer.
While doing-this she was - probably observed
by the women, for, 'on returning to her house
to get ready to go with the officer, and while
up stairs, the tWo women came into the house,
left, a bundle on the table, and simply remark
ing that" it was all right;, they had only bor
rowed it," or-.something to that effect, went
away. Upon' opening the bundle all of the
missing articles, as well as the money, with
the 'exception of some two or three aollars,
'which - was in silver, were found. It is sup*
pOsedthat tbe:woman noticed Mrs. Hubbard •
AO..different . plaees, and _thinking that.
she suspected them of the theft, and not hay
inglad time to properly secrete the articles,
took this method.to avoid a prosecuticul,.
