XHE PROiIBIONAI. HOTEBNUENT OF
FRANCE.
One of the first consequences of the over
crow of Napoleon and the establishment of a
Provisional government in France, is the in
stant expression, hy liberal people all over the
world, of sympathy with France. WhenPrus
■ sia warred upon Bonapartism , and the despot
ism with which it cursed the French nation,
every lover of liberty ardently desired her tri-.
umph. Now' that the empire has been broken
to fragments, we may still give to Prussia our
warm admiration and sincere congratulations)
butwemayaskher, inthe name of humanity,
not to bring further humiliationupon the brave
nation which is hot responsible for this war,
which has repudiated the common enemy,
Napoleon, and which has .asked for an honora
ble peace. Prussia has a lawful right to make
her own terms, we admit, for she was threat
ened and assailed, and if she had been
beaten, the policy of France would have
been to ■ treat her harshly. But" ' she
«an afford to be' generous now, - and,
responding to the sentiment of the world, to
give to France not only deliverance from des-
potismj-but- that honorable peace -which so
valiant-an adversary deserves. It-is certain
that Prussia will alienate many of those who
have given to her their enthusiastic admira.
tion, if she rudely rejects the proffer of peace
and compels France to continue the war,
through much slaughter, to a disgraceful and
disastrous conclusion. It is reported that Bis
marck has declared his willingness to withdraw
from France upon the conditions that the for
tifications of Strasbourg and Metz shall be de
stroyed and the armies of France disbanded.
If this is true, Prussia will deserve credit for
such magnanimity as accords with her bravery
and greatness. The new government cannot
Tetain the-good-will of the world-if it -refuses
.such terms as these, and provokes Prussia to
continuance of the war.
We must admit, however, that the report
which declares Prussia to have offered such
simple conditions is at least open to suspicion
of untruthfulness. - We can. hardly reconcile
ourselves to the belief that Count Bismarck
and King William will be.willing contributors
to the erection of a purely popular government
in France. The successful trial of the republi
can experiment would be a perpetual threat
oven to powerful Prussia, particularly at a
time when the spirit of liberty is actively pre
sent everywhere in Europe—when Spain seems
almost compelled to accept republicanism
when there are suspicious and ominous repub.
lican movements in Italy, and when England
is pjacing all political power in the hands of
of the people. We can only hope that Prussia
has really determined to rest content with hei
present triumph, and, recognizing the Pro
visional government, to treat with it fairly and
generously.
As the character of that government develops
itself, it becomes better worthy of our sym
pathy and respect. It is evident that such tur
bulent demagogues as Rochefort, are not, as
we at first apprehended, to control its adminis
tration. The wiser men, such as Jules Favre,
Liamier-Pagee, Jules Ferry, Pierre Magne, M.
Arago—some of the best and purest and ablest
©f the tried Republicans of France, aie to con
duct the government, and so far, it must bi
admitted, they have acted with discretion and
carefulness, and yet with vigorous determiua
rion to protect the nation, if perchance it
should be compelled to act further in its de
fence. We believe this government to be
worthy of our confidence, at least as long as
such a man as Favre is at its head. Wc
cannot regard its efforts to build up a strong
i government upon the ruins of the empire, to
preserve law and order, and to organize defence
in the supreme hour of peril withoui
the warmest wishes for its success. Of course
it iB lolly to calf such a government republi
can. It is as much a personal government as
Napoleon’s was; and these men simply
usurped the power. But they may plead ab
solute necessity, and the cordial approval of
their action by nearly the whole of the French
people. We have such faith in the
patriotism of the leaders of tlie move
ment that we do not fear repetition of
the mistakes and crimes which gave Napoleon
First and Napoleon Third opportunity to build
up empires. If peace is declared, through in
tervention of a Congress, as Russia proposes
or by the voluntary act of Prussia, M. Favrt
will, we are assured, strive to organize a truly
republican government in France, founded
upon universal suffrage and controlled by a
popular legislature.
This will be done if the European powers do
not interfere to prevent it,a contingency which
we have reason to fear and which, if realized,
will probably result in the elevation of another
Bourbon to the throne of France. Against
such action our government ought to protest;
and as it has been appealed to by M. Favre, it
has an occasion to make its voice heard in the
matter. There is an opportunity now for es
tablishing popular government in France which
may never come again, and it will be our duty
to use our influence to the accomplishment of
such a desirable result. The present ministry ha?
ibe support and confidence,and it Will.have the
assistance, of such true and brave and patriotic
Frenchmen as Victor H ugo, Louis Blanc and
all the host of exiles who were feared and
bated and banished by Napoleon, and who are
“ liow' hnrryinghack once-more-to their country
as the figures which were created by the des
pot are flying in swarms from the ruin which
overwhelmed their master. We shall know in
a day ortwo whether these Republican French
men are to accomplish their desires, or whether
another combination of Europeau Kings is to
another Bourbon upon'France.
...... : "
ITALY AJf» K*ME.
.<aly is moving .borne, again to the Eternal
*j'ity, and the world will probably see Victor
Emmanuel reigning in the old seat of the
Coosars, beforeFftris. has capitulated to King
■William. The Oactta d' Jtalia issues anotice
that the Ministerial Council has decided to
transfer the government to Rome before the
end of September. Napoleon defunct, and
France fully occupied with her ewn affairs, the
return of Btomannel with the Italian Govern
ment to Rome seems to be, a mere .matter of
occupation, not of conquest. Italy has never,
for a moment, really entertained the Idea of
relinquishing -Rome as . the centre of her gov
ernment and her glory. They stand insepara
ble, through all the ages, and the spiritual
power that has reigned in the Vatican, for the
long centuries past, forms after all but a grand
episode in the wonderful history that has made
Rome the Eternal City. Italy will go hack to
Rome, because she is not Italy without Rome.
Archbishop McCloskey, in his eloquent sermon
in New York, on Sunday night, asked: “ What
would Rome be without the Pope? Where
would it be ? By a divine decree, Peter was
made the foundation stone, the rock, the head
and the pastor of the Catholic Church, and
He Willed that in Rome Peter should fix his
apostolic chair. This m'ake3 Rome the holy,
eternal city.”
It is not worth while to argue the Arch
bishop’s point, in view of the inarch of the
troops of Victor Emmanuel upon Rome. A
few days will probably see, the secular power
once more supreme in Rome, and the spiritual
power transferred to some foreign soil. EveD
while, the. (Ecumenical Council still sits in
Rome, and before its formal proclamation of_
Papal Infallibility has been made, the divine
right of the line of St. Peter to rule as tempo
ral and spiritual monarch over Rome is chal
lenged by the march of events, and
Pope and Council will probably be added to
those fugitive powers that are rapidly multi
plying themselves in Europe.
- The Francd-Pnissiiiii-war is indeed-working
out extraordinary results. NoF only has its
direct result overturned Imperialism in France,
but at the first signal of a crude Republicanism
in Paris, Republican agitation begins to mani
fest itself throughout Europe, and Victor
Emmanuel’s government hastens to. possess
itself of Rome, before Italy shall be disturbed
with fresh Republican demonstrations. \
What Rome would be without the Pope will
soon be answered. Rome will still be the
Eternal City, in all its solitary supremacy as
the central embodiment of classic ages. And
it can scarcely fail to retain much of its eccle
siastical splendor, for St. Peter’s will still be the
Mecca of-tbe-devout- Catholic, and there will
be no wish on the part of the Italian Govern
ment to discourage the maintenance of the
Church of Rome, not only because it represents
the religion of lcaly, but because its pomps and
pageants are among, the chief attractions
which draws, annual thousands to sojourn in
Rome and to spend their money there.
But whatrtbe Pope will be without Rome, is
a more interesting question. It has already
been intimated that he will take refuge in
Malta, and this he may do temporarily. He
will not remain in Rome deposed from his
temporal sovereignty. Nor will he be content
with the inconvenience of an island residence
in the Mediterranean. St. Paul was ship
wrecked at Malta, and St. Peter will not be
shipwrecked there, if he can avoid it. The
prospect of the Pope’s retirement from Rome
opens a wide field of speculation as to the
future seat of Papal power. If the Pope
merely sought refuge, there would simply be
the embarrassment of choice between many of
the European powers who would contend for
the honor and advantage of offering him a
borne. But he does not seek refuge. He will
undoubtedly transfer his seat from Rome, but
it must bo to some point where he can best
maintain the full tremendous power of the
Church. The speculation revives the idea
which has often been broached in recent times
of the removal of the Pope to America, and
the establishment of a grand Pontifical centre
of ecclesiastical power in the valley of the Mis
sissippi. And the idea has nothing improbable
or impracticable about it.
The Pope will relinquish his temporal
sovereignty unwillingly, but the Catholic
Church Nvill be the gainer by it. Its power is
and ought to be a spiritual one, and with the
addition of the newly-discovered attribute of
infallibility, the Tope will sway as extended
and as real a power over the hearts and con
sciences of-mgn, and, through them, over the
destiniesof LheWvorld, as if he was still ac
knowledged Sovereign of Rome. The Church)
freed from the political complications of the
State, will come down to its purely religious
mission, and whether the world desires or de
precates the extension of Catholicism, that ex
tension will be promoted rather than hiu
i dered by the deposition of the Pope at Rome
‘ by Victor Emmanuel, and the consequent di
vorce of the temporal from the spiritual power
f of the Papacy.
HONORING A REBEL.
The Montgomery County Agricultural So
ciety will hold its annual exhibition at Norris
town, on the 15th, 10th and 17th of the present
month. It is customary upon the opening day
to have an address from some prominent man,
and we regret to learn from the advertisement
that Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, has
been invited to be the orator of the day. The
action of the managers in requesting this man's
presence in such a capacity, has excited a great
deal of just indignation among the loyal peo
ple of the county, and we express their feelings
and those of all loyal men when we character
ize this proceeding as a gross outrage. We
may insist, and we do insist, that every reason
able thing shall be done to create a good feel
ing between the people of the North and South,
and to destroy the enmity and jealousy which
existed during the war; but to produce such
desirable results it is not, by any means,
: necessary to glorify the individual men to whose
treachery and sophistry that ill-feeling is
directly attributable. Alexander H. Stephens,
is, in many— the wickedest of all the
villains who inspired, maintained and then de
fended the rebellion. -He professed intense
loyalty to the very last hour of peace,
while secretly he was promoting the
cause of secession, and bidding for
the honors of the coming Confederacy. His
famous appeal for the preservation of the
Union is now known to have been a piece of
base to screen his villainous

machinations.' AsßftOft'as wairSvakdeclared,
this B)an r who Jwd jw in his
protestations of affeetioa for the Union,
removed bis mask and accepted the second
place in the rebel government.; While there,
be labored with energy and ingenuity, more
persistent and devilish than the' efforts of
Jefferson Davis, as ho was more able, to
destroy this Government, to perpetuate slavery,
and to make the experiment of republicanism
a disastrous failure. At the conclusion of the
war he was not willing to abide by tfch result,
and to accept in humble silence the generous
refusal of the people to punish him; but he
has made himself conspicuous ever since as
the apologist of-treason, the champion of the
“dost cause,” and the advocate of its pernicious
theories.
According to the laws of this; land and in
conformity to the eternal principles of justice,
this man’s life was forfeited; and if his.crimes
had been committed against any other govem
ment'in the wOrld his body would how lie in a
dishonored grave. Decency and a sense of
honor Bhould compel him at least to remain in
obscurity and restrain him from thrusting
himself upon loyal communities;- Hispresence
in any .ordinary assembly: in . this part of the
country in the. character of an .adviser and
teacher would he an unpardonable. offense
which ought to be .resented. There are mem
bers Of this very Agricultural Society, as well
as hundreds of others living in Montgomery
county, whose sons aud brothers were slain by
Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia. . He is
directly and personally responsible for every
drop of blood shed during the war, and
for all the misery and suffering and debt which
were the results of that contest. It is insuf
ferably insolent, then, for him to come here,
burdened with such crimes, and having still in
his heart hatred of our people and our govern
ment, and to assume the first; place at a public
gathering. It is not a sufficient excuse that he
has been invited; there are men in this com
munity, as in others throughout the. North,
. who either. sympathized with the re.bel effort to
overthrow the Union, or who have not enough
decency and sense to enable perceive
the impropriety of honoring this noisy, impeni
tent rebel; • If Mr. Stephens accepts the invita
tion, and undertakes to 'speak at Norristown,
we hope loyal people will either have- nothing
to do with the enterprise, or will attend and
hoot the speaker from the stand.
A large amount of interesting matter will he

The Advance Upon Paris. t
p ABiis, September 7.—The Prussian advance
towards Paris continues. They are moving
toward the line of the Marne.
The Uhlans are swarming upon the flanks
©f the advancing corps, and spreading over
an enormous circumference of territory. The
French troops are withdrawing towards the
capital, the Prussian cavalry following and
endeavoring to harass and separate detach
ments, Their efforts are only partially suc
cessful.
The advanced vid cites of the Prussians have
been reported beyond Valenciennes. The
greater portion of Gen. Vinoy’s corps has
reached Paris. The rear guard continues its
retreat uninjured.
The Proclamation of the Republic.
The Republic has been enthusiastically pro
claimed throughput the whole of France.
The declaration is everywhere received with
.acelamationrof delight. The triumph-is com

Russia contemplates convening a Congress of
the European- powers to. deliberate upon; the
settlement of the Franco-Prmsianquestion.
The Tit says that Prussia will be sure to
decline.
Prussia’s Demand* Upon France.
London, Sept. 7. —The Times says “the Re
public inherits war and its penalties. Prussia
is ready to make peace in return for Metz,
Alsace, and German Lorraine. Better terms
thamtbese Francois unlikely to obtain. If
France refuses to treat upon the basis of this
11 berai proposition, tbe Republic will perish
because Frenchmen are more jealous of mili

of others.”

of- the Standard Bays that numerous Americans
in Paris are joining the Francs Tireurs, and
a new corps is now organizing named the

Tricolored sashes, says the Queen (a IjOndon
periodical), are worn in Paris as a matter of
course; they are not Been in the street, but
frequently in carriages, with black costumes,
ana almost universally at the theatres and
small evening gatherings, as accompaniments
to white dresses ; but black, we are.informed,
is more generally'worn at this sad period than
anything else'. Those who have not lost rela

been less fortunate, do not adopt the deepest
mourning, but, as a rule, put on black China ,

Luxembourg, Sept, 7.—A terrific assault
lias been made' upon Montmedy.' The be
siegers opened a hot fire of artillery upon the
city and assaultcdthe works with the bayonet.
The garrison successfully resisted the attack
and repulsed the Prussians totally., -
The havoc among the assailants was dread
ful. The Prussians have withdrawn from the
neighborhood, and: the, French remain at
Montmedy.
The Paussian artillery fire was fierce and ef
fective. Shells from the guns fell within the
city, setting fire to the houses. Half the' city
of Montmedy was destroyed by the confiagra
tipn which ensued. The distress ampngthe
inhabitants is great. The flames have been
checked and the fire extinguished; The bom

and ceased after the repulse of the Germans,

■ Washington - . Sept. 7.—The French Minis
ter has heard nothing from Paris since the
surrender of the Emperor. The business of
this legation is entirely suspended. Nothing
is known of the reported changes of the lead-.
iDg foreign representatives of France.
The Prussian legation has only a formal an
nouncement of the late victories. The im
pression is that, aside from the troops in the
various fortresses along the frontier, including
Strasbourg and the forces with Bazaine, the
French have less than fifty thousand veteran
soldiers at command for the defence of Paris.
Though little positive information has been
received in diplomatic circles, the belief is
strong that the Prussians will march directly
upon Paris, without regard to the changes in
the government there.

f From the N. Y. Herald of to-day.J
Tuesday, Sept. 6.—The gold market within the past
two months has witnessed the consummation of a grand
tlood and a returning grand ebbtide. The upward cur
rt nt carried the price from 114 to 123 f«. The reflux—the
reaction bo confidently looked for—brought tlio price
back to 113J*. The lu*t figure marked the point at which
pface was regarded as the certain immediate conso
queucc of the surrender of Sedan. The speculators
have done as did King William. They have
cone'to a certaiu point and now thov pause.
The future is not 1 so clear as it was even
a week or two ago, for then, with the victorious march
of the Prussian armies, peace'was more reasonably as
sured than it is now. Hence Wall street is feverish and
unsettled. Europe, too, is unable to read the riddle,
quotations to-day irom her leading capitals show
a sharp decline. Thero was a better feeding at the
close, it is true, but the advance • was rather a
reaction than an improvement. The, reflection
of ’ this -unsettled •- feeling — the~. "wid°'
and sharp fluctuation in the Gold Room. In
the forenoon the market was very strong on the
expectation that the proclamation of the French repub
lic would involve Europe In a general war, and as our
bonds in London come Ua per cent, lower, there was a
(•ufiden rush to buy, under which gold ran up to 116? a.
Next came tbo announcement that Jules Favre, Presi
dent ofthe Provisional Counoil, bad offered to make
Eiiice with Prussia, and gold fell to 114>a. The old fear,
owevt r, reasserted itself, and gold ran back to 116. But
here it was further reported that Jules Favre had set out
from Paris to meet King William and have a conference
with him with a view to secure terms of peace,and as
our bonds in London,as well as the general market
there, suddenly improved, gold fell te H4>q. Interme
diately the movemout baa been in part aflected by the
terms in the loan market, wherein the *» bulls ” and
,l hears ” did a great deal of partisan bluftiing,tho latter
marklngtho carrying rate up to six per cent., which
was responded to by the bulb,who made goldacarce,
and marked it a sixty-fourth for borrowing. Further
more the balances at the Clearing House wore mani
pulated, and the items drawn down inamanner intended
to iutiinidate the “ bears, n but as the course of events
\ directed the latter eventually prevailed.
The banks and capitalists reported a better demand
for money, but no loans ou call wore recorded at a higher
rate than six per cent., although instances werere
ported at seven, but could not be. definitely traced, ami,
il of real occurrence, were purely exceptional. The
government dealers were sopplledatflve per- cent., bat
some outside borrowers on pledge of government colla
terals had to pay six. In discount* there wsb no change,
and quotations were BtUl wide.
Foreign exchange was strong and fairly active on the
basis of )09%a109?4 for., primo bankers’ sixty-day, and
' for sight sterling bills.
The sndden of thO.London quotations ahswing
> a declino ofbetween one and two per cent, as compared
1 with Monday’s prices, and of which tbe street had boon
deprived meantime by the prostration of the tologriipli
wires, ltd to a decline of a qunrter to a half per cent, in
. the Quotations here, tho emaller fall, as compared with
. ..London, being duo to the' really .firm . under tono of the

It is rumored that a difficulty existed between
General Trochu and the ministers. The latter
gave way ,'and-harmony is once more restored
.in the Republican council. Differences were
on the question of arming all classes
of the population. Trochu stood firm in his op
position to' arming the, people—contending,
that the proposition was premature and im
politic in the face of the great crisis; They
gave way,with the reservation that at amore
opportuno time the subject/should bermore

(ien. Wlnipflcn’s Address to Bis Troops.
Paris, Sept. 7.—The-following address of
Gen.-WimpfFen, to whom the commantLofthe
army at Sedan was assigned on the wounding
of General MacMahon, has been forwarded
by special correspondent this morning:
"Sedan, Sept. 3, 1870.—Soldiers, on Thurs
day you fought against forces greatly superior
in numbers, from daybreak until one o'clock.
You resisted the enemy with the utmost bra
very. When you had fired your last cartridge,
were worn out With lighting, and not able
to respond to the call of your generals and
officers to attempt to rejoin Bazaine by the
road to Moutmedy, you were forced to retreat
on Sedan.
“ In this desperate effort hut 2,000 men could
be got together, and-your General deemed the
attempt utterly hopeless and impracticable.
Your General found, with deep regret, when
the amoy re-united within the town, that it
bad do supplies, either of food or ammuni
tion, and could neither leave the place nor de _
t ltjnd it. ■ ■ —.-
Means of existence being alike -wanting for
the population, I was, therefore, reduced to
the sad alternative of treating with the
enemy, and sent yesterday to the
headquarters of the Prussians, with full
power from the Emperor, but could
not at first bring myself to accept the conditions
imposed by the enemy. This morning,
however, commenced by bombardments
’o which we could not reply.
,_X. decided. to., make a .fresh
attempt to get honorable terms, and have ob
tained conditions by which wo are saved
inuah annoying' and insulting formalities
which the usages of-war generally impose.
Under the circumstances under which wo find
ourselves, it only remains for us officers and
- elders,to accept with resignation the conse
quences of this surrender.
“ Ve have at least the consolation of know
ing that a useless massacre has been avoided —
that 'we yielded only under circumstances in
which no army could fight, viz.: want of food
and ammunition.
