THE IMPERIAL DISAPPEARANCE.
Of all the interesting and remarkable features
of the war now raging in France, none are so
striking - as - the sudden and apparently total
collapse of Napoleonism. Five or - six
weeks have passed since Napoleon plunged
France and Prussia into this terrible conflict,
and through the lapse of this short period the
Emperor has faded rapidly out of sight, until
he and the' idea which •he' represented have"
wholly disappeared from the scene, and a new
form•of geverument,,to all practidal .intent, is
steadily rising into definite shape, and filling
the canvass upon which the brilliant picture .®f
a spurious Napolecinism has glittered before the
world, fora score
_of years. France, to-day,
presents a grand " dissolving view" of Govern
ment, in which the last phase of Napoleonism
is, almost without a shock to the political
System of France, merging and disappearing
into - :soiree new- fOrm,• - •wlaicir - mays, be . Orlean- -
ism, or may be. Republicanism.
This •was the • Emperor's war. Restless
ambition, arrogant assumption of dictatorial
control of neighboring powers, a groundless be
lief in his personal military greatness,
a blind determination to perpetuate his
dynasty, by winning military éclat for his
son, drove him on Into precipitating France
into a causeless war, for which she was not pre
pared, with a great nation whose social system
keeps her always ready to defend herself, and
who could - promptly confront him in the triple
armor iafa just_quarrel,'
With all the pomp and circumstance of a
- great - conqueror, -- Louis Napoleon-put-himself
at the head of the French armies, and hastened
-to lead Medi • 'acrogaTthe Rhine. At the.little
affair of Saarbrtick he and his son were the
central figures of the scene. He hastened to
dazzle France and the world with the brilliant
spectacle of the Emperor and the Imperial
Prince under fire. Then came Wissembourg
and Woerth; and once more the Emperor
flashes up with characteristic heroics, as. he--
"goes to place himself at the centre of the
position." The picture is beginning to fade.
The Prussian moves down upon Metz, and
once more the ill-fated Emperor speaks,
as he moves farther into the back-ground,going,
"to meet invasion," with his face turned
toward Paris. At Gravelotte we have a pass
ing glimpse of him, as he scurries to the rear
in his carriage in a midnight flight through the
Prussian out-posts, There he disappears.
Newspaper correspondents refer to him as
being here and there, not knowing where he
is, until he is spoken of as being "at Rheims
'incognito." Paris, under an Orleanist leader,
puts herself b in order for a siege, without the
Emperor. The armies assemble, organize,
matatuvre, tight, without the Emperor.
" Trochu," " Bazaine," "MacMahon," are the
watchwords of the French, not "Napoleon."
The Cops Legislatif breathes freer as it
grows conscious of the dying dynasty.
and becomes daily more bold in its denunciation
of Imperialism and its assertion of the people's
share in the government. The Imperial tele
grams are laughed to scorn in the cafes and
on the boulevards, or were laughed to scorn
until they ceased and were forgotten in the
hurly-burly of the impending siege.
Official despatches from the "Headquarters in
the Field," go to Berlin signed by the kingly
" William." Palikao is rudely interrogated by
the Left to know Whether . his news bears the
signature of Bazaine. Le Silas disposes of
the news that the Imperial headquarters are at
Rheims, with a curt " Who cares ?" "Imperial
headquarters can only he a superfluity, an em
barrassment, a pretext for losing battles."
All this marks the disappearance of Imperi_
alism from France so clearly, that forecasting
men are already writing the political obituaries
of Napoleon. Whatever France may do in the
national crisis that Napoleon has precipitated
upon her, she must and will do for herself. If
-"she falls she-will—let-the - curse of - her humiliaz --
tion fall upon him. If she triumphs—and no
man can yet certainly read the end of the
struggle—she will give no thanks to the Napo-
She may go back to the house of
Orleans, and try that monarchy again ; or she
may go forward to a Republicanism which will
spoil the plans of the "Emperor ; of Ger
many." But she fll not put herself
again under the Imperialism that has cut so
sorry a figure on her battle-fields, upon which
she will charge all the ills that must conic from
either victory or defeat, after such a bloody,
costly war.
There is nothing of the ideal Napoleon in
the history of these past weeks. King William
and the Crown Prince have been the Napoleons
of the campaign. And as the world looks on
and sees the harassed, worn, beaten, and now
neglected Emperor fading away from I , the
centre of the position," it takes up the old
doubt again and wonders whether this can be
the Corsican blood that blazed across the . bridge
at Lodi, and won the : long series of brilliant
victories that, made France glorious:in the eyea
of the :whole world. The history of the present
• Franco-Prussian war, thus far, stamps the
NaPoleonism of 1816 - with - sometblug of that
" . Dutch courage" which may possibly belong,
by birth-right, to the would-be Co stir of modern
Rance.
THE ADVANCE ON PARILN
The glimpses of thA 'situation in France,
afforded' by this"'morning's despatches; - are
slight - and - unsatisfactory; - but - yet - they give - us
some notion of the actual state of affairs. The
important feat Ls that there has been a general
advance of the Prussians. It is a' arent that
an.immense force of the reserves, of which
there is an overwhelming supply, has been
brought up from the Rhine and has taken
position in front of Metz. This army • has
been united with one corps of the old army of
General Steinmetand charged with the duty
of taking care of Bazaine. The rest of the
Prussian army, under Prince Frederick Charles
or General Steinmetz, bas advanced — toward -
Paris as far as Bar-le-DuC,"where the King has
established his headquarters. This place, it
will be remembered, is immediately southwest
of Chalons, and is only one hundred and
twenty-five miles fiom Parl. This advance
movement is made, of course, for the purpose
of_supporting the Crown Prince, of whom we
kri'ow only this much, that he has pursued
MacMahon nearly' to Rheims, and that MacMa
hen has evacuated that city without strikiug.a
blow. The Prussians, then, have two strong
lines; one in front of Metz, and and another
reaching along the Marne river from Rheims,
through Chalons probably to Vitry-le-Franeals.
What the next movement will be —whether
directly on to Paris or not,—we can only con
jecture. If we knew positively where Mac-
Mahon is, the question might easily be de
cided. It is in doubt whether he has gone to
Mez4;res, and from thence. made an effort to
reach Bazaine, or whether he has withdrawn
to the northwest to Soissons,where he can com
mand the railroads and highways direct to
Paris and Rheims, We incline to believe that
he hasleft-Bazaine to his fate, finding it im
possible to reach him, .and has adopted the
Jatterconrse,going either to Soissons or further
to the northwest, so as to increase his railway
communication with the capital. This would
give him a position upon the flank of any
army marching toward Paris, and would make
such an advance very unsafe, unless the flank
was protected by an enormous force. It may
be that this duty. of protection devolves upon
the Crown Prince, who clings closely to Mac
-Mahon, _ and .that his _army Will hold ~.the
Yrenehinaiiin eiieek while the forge at Bar-le
Blue advances to Paris.. Whether the Prus
sian army at the latter place is strong enough
to attack the capital, of course we cannot tell.
We think it may be ; for with Bazaine shut
up hopelessly at Metz, and MacMalion threat
ened face to face with a force equal, if not su
perior, to his own, the main body of the Prus
sians would have nothing to encounter but the
raw levies, poorly armed, inefficient and with
out discipline, which throng the fortifications of
the capital.
In brief then the situation is this : Bazaine is
kept in perilnus idleness in one place,; Mac-
Mahon -apparently.. is- driven-into a.--.corner in
another; and if he reaches Paris the effect will
only be to add the force of 'the Crown Prince
,to the assailing army--and there is a huge
Prussian army marching to the capital with
out an obstacle in its path. It is masterly and
won4Fful generalship which thus drives two,
great armies from the field into helpless posi
tions, and opens 3 clear road to the invading
host-. Napoleon the First never performed a
more brilliant strategic feat than this.
In the meantime Paris dimly comprehends
the situation, despite the lying declarations of
t he Ministers and the refusal to publish-des
patches from the army. The peasantry are
destroying everything in the path of the invad
ers which would be likely to assist them, and
the whole country between Chalons and the
capital is being devastated and ruined. In the
fortifications,men are working with the energy
of desperation, and there seems to be an ear
nest, heroic determination to defend the city to
the last extremity. There will be hard fight
ing there, and such sturdy opposition as men
can give who realize that they are fighting for
their homes and for the salvation of their coun
try, and who hate the" invaders with bitterest
hatred. We fear it will not avail much, how
ever. The Prussians are old soldiers, and
their opponents are poorly armed, undisciplined
civilians. If the Prussians appear before
Paris, and MacMahon does not come with his
army, the city is lost. The war will end if
the men in the fortifications are the last hope
of France.
THE INCENDIARY BIGGS
After nominating Ponder, brother-in-law of
the Saulsburys as candidate for governor of
Delaware, on Wednesday, the Democratic con
vention at Dover renominated Mr.B. T. Biggs as
the Democratic candidate for Congress. We
do not know what relationship exists between
Biggs and the Saulsbury family, but - we take
for granted, as a mere matter of course, that
Biggs either has the Saulsbury blood in his
veins or is allied to the family by marriage.
Such a connection with the cheap aristocracy
of lower Delaware is necessary to procure po
litical success. We have little fear that Biggs
will be re-elected, not because he is a self-pro
nounced ass, for the Delaware Democracy are
not sufficiently intelligent to make such a rea
son an objection and they have sent:.*Biggs to
Congress - before, but because we - '' believe
the Republicans, re-inforced by the
negro vote, will carry the State
at the next election, and send Mr. Heald, a
gentleman of great ability, to Congress. The
election of Dlr•. Heald becomes more impera
tively necessary now that Biggs has been re
nominated; for if Biggs goes to Congress again
there will be trouble. Biggs is an incendiarist.
Biggs has in his possession important State se
crets, which are the property of no other De
mocrat; and if he gets to Washington again, he
intends to reveal them and use the damning
evidence to destroy Congress, the Cabinet and
the Republican party. A hint of the myste
rious knowledge which Biggs conceals within
the recesses of his patriotic soul is given in his
speech before the Saulsbury Convention at
Dover. Thus Biggs: "If the people knew
as much as I do of the corruption and extrava
gance of the Black Republican Congress, they
would arouse en nutsBe and take Grant and
his corrupt Cabinet, and Congress, with the
exception of the Democratic members, and
' throw the whole corrupt Mass itito.the
tomac river."
We seem to be getting along so comfortably
now, even with these terrible ) secrets unre
vesled, that it would be a base deed to permit
the mysterious Biggs to divulge the truth and
provoke such an outburst of popular wrath as
he describes. It will be a sad day for this
country when Biggs plays the part of MoseS,
and, standing poised gracefully upon the balus
trade of the Long Bridge, waves his wand
and - closes the - waters of - the Potomac - aver the
Cabinet and the Republican faction in Con=
greys, while the immaculate -Democratic Con
gressmeni-- standin‘: u ion the shore chant a
PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1870.
Miriam song of, triumib; guided by the baoa .
of Biggs! What will foreign nations say to
such a spectacle? will the Muse of
History regard such' wholesale slaughter?- What '
will become.of the navigation of the Potomac?
If Biggs is elected, we hope the House Com
mittee on Commerce will hie - to Delaware and
offer to Biggs glittering hoards of gold as an
inducemi3nt - to — withhold — his --- revelfitleirs an =
keep the people from "arousing en masse " and
permanently obstructing the channel of the
noble Potomac, ruining the navigation and de
stroying the herring fisheries. Few men have
held such power of life and death in their
hands as Biggs, and he must'be bought off or
crushed or this happy land will be blighted
and cursed. He can be hushed with money
if he is like other Delaware Democrats. Del
aware is the only State in the Union in which
men sell their votes openly at the polls. Such
transactions are as common in the lower
counties, as the purchase and sale of dry
goods ; and Biggs understands the business
thoroughly\
But Biggs has another complaint. He is
the sworn enemy of the negro and of the Fif
teenth Amendment. Said Biggs at Dover: "In
the presence of this people and Almighty God,
I declare the Fifteenth Amendment a mon
strous fraud;" and then Higgi; ''bursting into
a strain of rapt eloquence—rapt at least for
Delaware—ejaculated : " Rear, Oh Earth, and
give ear, Oh Heavens !, (,Big - gtes. Aluotation is
not : exactly - straight, but never mihd ;...distor.
tions of Scripture are. not noticed, by the. un
familiar ear of the Delaware Democracy),
the Senate of the United States sits a dirty,
thieving, lousy nigger preacher combing his
_lousy wool in that august body !" The pro
priety of invoking Heaven and Earth to listen
to such a disgusting piece of intelligence is not
exactly manifest, but we must make an al
lowance for the frenzy of Biggs, and under
stand that this is merely his method of ex
pressing his determinatiim.to root put_ ; Revels
froin the Senate, and to strike the Fifteenth
Amendment from the Constitution. Possibly
Senator Revels can defend himself from .the bel-
ligerent Biggs ; if he had not more sense
and nice gentlemanly instinct° the ne
groes of the country would have- good
reason to be ashamed of him; but _when Biggs
attacks the Constitution of our beloved coun-
try we must "arouse en masse" and rush to
its defence. We call upon the Republicans of
Delaware to save us from Biggs ; to protect the
Constitution from Lis assaults; to. keeP 'Con
gress and the Cabinet out of a watery grave ;
to guard with care the navigation of the
Ilotomac._ _We _.bane__ reach _
Biggs,,or anarchy and death! We must fight
this battle as men who are on the brink of
destruction.
Seriously, is it not strange that Slid] a ridicu
lous donkey as this Democratic Biggs Should
ever have the support and ,ountenaneßof any
community of American citizens? We ven
ture to say, however, that Biggs will receive
nearly the whole Democratic vote in Delaware,
and will be regarded ti avast majority of the
members of the party as a competent and
worthy man. Volumes could not do more to
prove the Ignorance and stupidity of the people
who maintain the Democratic, party in Dela
ware. If this man is re-elected,the State will
be disgraced even more than it was by his
former election, and by the drunken orgies of
Senator Saulsbury.
Taking it at its best, the performances Of
Sergeant Coates and Officers_ Penderville and
Doran, of the Fourth Police District, yesterday,
in > the matter of the arrest of a drUnken dray
man, do not reflect much credit upon the
police force of Philadelphia. Two officers,
taking an intoxicated man into custody, pro
ceed to beat him over the beadwith their clubs
or billies, inflicting numerous severe cuts and
bruises. Citizens calling at the station-house
to remonstrate against this ill usage, and to
protect the prisoner's rights, are ordered out of
the house, and a respectable lawyer who is
present professionally is told to " get out of
here or I'll put a head on you," followed up
with the choice remark that " I don't care for
the Mayor or any other man, and I will flaht
any one of you for ten dollars, right out here
in the yard," or as this elegant sergeant him
self puts it, "If t was not for the position I
bold I would take you in the yard and skin
you in about two minutes." . Mr. Sergeant
Coats says that the lawyer was very abusive
and remarked "If you 'were from
behind that desk I would mash
your nose !" When we mention that
the lawyer in question was George D. Stroud,
Esq., the son of Judge Stroud, and an amiable
and courteous gentleman, Sergeant Coates be
comes supremely ridiculous.
On the side of the officers it may be said
that they have no power to accept bail, and are
not bound to procure special hearings for
prisoners, except' at Speeffied - hourB in the - day.
But beyond this qualification we can suggest
no excuse for the officers, either sergeant or
patrolmen, unless they can prove that they
were drunk and did not know what they were
about.
It is 'very poor satisfaction to the citizens of
Philadelphia to have such fellows as these
brought up before the Mayor, and reprimanded,
suspended or dismissed. If they were excep
tional cases, this would be all very well, but
there are, very unfortunately, too many such
cases as this occurring, which. indicate the
total unfitness of a very considerable part of
the force for their position. •
The conduct of the patrolmen was unpar
donably brutal. A man must needs be a good
deal of a savage to beat a drunken man over
the head with a billy or club, in order to sober
him enough to induce him to submit to arrest.
And a sergeant of police who does not know
that citizens have a right to come to his sta
tion-house and to make inquirteg in such a
case as this, without being bullied and threa.
ened and blackguarded, proves hiniself wholly
unfit for any nubile. office. if the gentlenien
were somewhat excited at witnessing the bru
tality of the officers, and at the insolent ma - m:
ners of the sergeant, they were not very much
to blame ; and we trust that Mayor Fox will
make such
sort

The money market continues to work with the same
ease already noted, the general dullness on the Stock
Bxchange rendering the denier d for currency of a very
limited character. The prevailing rate on call was five
per cent., although exceptions occurred where the col
lateral offered was governments at four per cent., and
at six percent. on stocks. -
The government market was unfavorably affected
pally in the day by the London advices exhibiting . ta
vtry considerable decline in the prices of sixty two's in
that market, and later by the large onerings at, the Sub-
Treasury. amounting In the aggregate to 46,E44,-

ment in London. The offerin-ts which were
distributed were, however, all close on to the market
price. The Government purchased :1,000,000 at prices
ranging from 108.78 to 109.14. Late reports from
the oilier side showing a recovery, the market here
Was firmer In the afternoon at the deeline, and closed
