Taesday, September 20,1870; jnDUES FAVRE’S CißCCtan. The circular issued by M. Jules Favre to the nations of Europe is amanly and eloquent declaration of the purposes and principles of the French Provisional government. 2d. Favre declares that the elections of last year dldi not indicate the desire of the people for a war ■with Prussia, and he asserts that such a war was not approved. Napoleon says he was driven to it by popular pressure, but we are not ready to accept the evidence of such a criminal, anxious to excuse his offence. M. Favre then asserts that France, delivered from the Imperial oppressor, is anxious to disavow the policy and the principles of the old government and to. prove to the world that she has nut one ambi tion—“ to develop peacefully her moral and material resqurces and to labor fraternally with her neighbors for the development of civiliza tion.” To begin tjris good work. the Minister says that France, at last free to express her sentiments,--demands—peace,* and -promises when that comes to repair the disasters, as she repudiates the political crimes, of Napoleon. But if this peace cannot be procured except ing at the cost of national existence, France will be compelled to continue the struggle until ehe is destroyed. As an earnest of the purity of his: intentions and of those of his colleagues, Favre acknowledges the incompe tency of his government, and points to the fact that an election will be immediately held Insecure to the people the right of self-gov ernment and the direction of - the national policy. This document will command the attention and respect of the whole world, and will go very far to secure to France the sympathy of all liberal men and all who can appreciate the grandeur of the spectacle afforded by the strug gles of these brave and patriotic men to save their country from humiliation and dismember ment. If they, to obtain peace, are • ready to make any sacrifice, to offer any juSt compensa tion for the cost of the war, and to give any guarantee of the sincerity of their promises, the sentiment of the world will be that Prussia will have had a sufficient triumph; that further slaughter and a" subsequent attempt to rend France, asunder and to impose another monarchy upon the people will be an unpardonable crime. Prussia has a right to fullest indemnity and to relief from further menace from France, but public sentiment will condemn her if she sacrifices more life, dis members France and defeats her attempt at popular government merely as an act of ven geance or as an expression of her hatred of re publicanism. We confess that we fear that she will not be satisfied with the terms offered by Favre, and that his mission to the Prussian camp will be fruitless. There is little doubt that Bismarck intends to take Paris if it be possible, and from the capital to give France peace upon conditions as harsh as he can make them. THE STEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS. There is an evident intention on the part of tlwse who favor Penn Square as a locality for new public buildings, to create the impression that these buildings, if there erected, will oc cupy “ one or two” only of the Squares, leav ing the rest free. As this statement has been widely circulated in print, we propose to correct it here. It is not the intention of those who advocate that plan to leave a vestige of the present •Squares. The act passed by the Legislature, expressly authorizes the Commissioners therein named, to “ vacate so much of Market street as they may deem necessary.” This means, (what, moreover, is otherwise no secret), that ”they^^ct~to - pirttfie”Krildihp"in'the _ very’ centre of the intersection. As the whole space is not a largeone, all the Squares will be absorbed, and whatever is over will be converted into, paved streets. The bill expressly provides that the buildings shall have round them a roadway of “not les3 width than one hundred feet.’’ Any statement, therefore, that part of the square is to be preserved as such, is simply a misrepresentation. If Penn Square is to be devoted to municipal buildings then we give up the idea of having Broad street as a great and unbroken thoroughfare. We plant court houses in its very midst, surrounding them With streets destined to be hereafter full of travel; the noise of which must interfere to a great iextent with the business of the courts, preventing the opening of windows in hot weather, and drowning the voices of those en gaged in bustness in the courts themselves, and in the other offices for which the buildings are intended. Most of' our citizens look, forward to seeing Broad street become beautiful with noble buildings, in keeping with the Masonic temple, the white marble church at Arch street, aud other splendid constructions. But the object of putting the public buildings at Penn Square, would be not only to break up the continuity of the street, but to invite to the neighborhood the rum-mills and grog-shops which now oc cupy the neighborhood of our present courts. If these haunts of vice can afford to displace other business from the vicinity of the present court-rooms, they will do the same in the new position, and we may not only see some of tha, best squares of Broad street so occupied, but also' expect to see a better class of buildings kept away by such neighbors. This prospect Is very far from agreeing with the views enter tained by our citizens resjiecting the improve ment of Broad street. The public ought to understand, fully and clearly, the outrage that a little knot of in- dustrious speculators and jobbers and noisy agitators proposes to force upon Philadelphia. The removal of the public buildings to a remote and inconvenient part of the city would be bad enough in itself; but to saddle the people with a needless debt, and, at the samo time, to de- jstioy-y rite beauty of ; ©ur .grandest ayepue, ■order to benefit a few property owners in tbdt neighborhood would be to, carry out a conspi racy which can only: succeed through the most. culpable ignorance or apathy of thq peo ple. A, few weeks must settle the question whether all the fair hopes of Philadelphia pos sessing the grandest and most beautiful avenue ir, AmpHpn . are, to bo abandoned Or not. It will be something worse than folly if tlife people permit it. ' ' - 1 „ BULLETIN' ELASTIC BED '*APB. There is probably no nation in the world that understands the advantages of an intelligent use of “rod tape” better than they are understood in ‘ Germany .Every department of and military, is characterized by system;routine and strict adherence to method. Soldier and civilian alike live by the stringent requirements of law, and from the primary school-room up to the camp and the battle-field, Bed Tape is a recognirod power, before whidi all classes and ages bow and obey. , ■ ■ . But the perfection of this order of things lies in the fact of the wonderful Elasticity of Ger man red tape. It is not a . dead tradition, hut a living, intelligent force. It produces machines, but they are educated; responsible, efficient ma chines, instinct with rationality, and always ap plicable to the great occasions and necessities of the nation. The difference between English and Ger man, red tape has been wonderfully illustrated in the present war.' ; It has first made the mili tary forces of Germany perfect in all their organization and instruction, and then it has mobilized them with an astonishing' freehess of action and intelligent co-operation. • Doubtless a grand plan of campaign was prepared at the .and-to each commander and eadi corps. their relative positions and duties were as" signed. But this grand plan was subordinated to the broader purpose of absolute readiness to meet all emergenciesjand to this elasticity of German red tape, this faculty for changing the direction oh great armies, for rapid combu nations of forces, originally independent in situation and design, for quick marching- and prompt delivery of battle, is fairly attributable all the great successes that have marked the whole Campaign. This combination of order of system and elesticity of operation was admirably illustrated in the army order issued by General Stein metz, when his army crossed the- French bor der. After reminding his troops of the duty of treating the defenceless inhabitants with humanity, he sums up the whole principle of German tactics in these stirring words: 11 Wherever the enemy is to be met let him be attacked with the utmost vigor. It is a well-known order of battle that the cavalry make the first onset. When the thunder of the cannons is-heardlet no one be.foundidle; but let each body of troops atonce direct their march thitherward, and, having arrived on the field of battle, endeavor to grasp instantly the plan of action, that they may intelligently and without delay join the engagement. Let me remind you also that what can be accom plished In one day must never occupy two.” The “ thunder of the cannon ” is the signal and guide for the march. Wherever there is fighting to be done, each body of troops within reach of the field is to make it its duty to.join j the engagement “ intelligently and without de lay.” In our war, it was the common refuge of many a timid or incompetent commander to plead that he had been stationed here or there, sometimes within easy sound of the roar of the battle-field, and that he could not move with out special orders. The veteran Steiunietz lays down a very different rule, and while the armies of Europe have learned many things from the war in America, we shall learn, in re turn, some invaluable lessons from the princi ples that have directed and the prowess that has accomplished the brilliant victories of Ger many upon thespil of France. We publish, in another column, the sub stance of Judge Strong’s lucid and able opinion relative to the payment of tax upon railroad dividends, declared payable after January Ist, 1870. There cannot be any reasonable doubt as to the entire soundness of this decision, which settles the point that the Collector had no right to impose a penalty upon the railroad companies for the non-payment of a tax which bad no legal existence at the time when it was demanded. The dividends earned in 1869 by the railroads were not taxable until they were payable, and their mere declaration in 1869 gave no power to the Collectors of Internal Revenue to make the demand for the tax, or to impose the penally for non-payment, as was done. Our new afternoon contemporary, the Jfueu ing City Item, is pushing its . way into public notice and favor with great enterprise and vigor. It is fully stocked with domestic and foreign news, thanks to the establishment of the American Press Association, which fosters the newspaper enterprises that would be strangled in their birth by the jealous old As sociated Press, and it keeps up to the hourly news of the day by successive editions—up to a number which we are, afraid to name. The first number of the J Beetling City Item pre sented rather an imperfect typographical ap pearance, but this has been overcome, and it is now a very readable and promising addition to the circle of our afternoon papers, in which. company we wish it all deserved success. / It would scarcely be proper to pass over, un noticed, the following original joke, which ap pears, editorially, to-day, in the columns of our solid neighbor, the Ledger. Commenting on the destruction of champagne by tho German armies, the Ledger says: ‘•Of course the sham-pagne wines will still be produced, and in greater abundanco than ever, so that the manufacturers of cider will profit by the war.” The joke is on the word “champagne,” and is so clever and sprightly that it seems to jus tify the rumor that our sedate neighbor is about enlarging. I)KAIHAfIF. —At the "Walnut .St. lasteveniiig, Mr. Edwin Forrest appeared as “ Spavtacas” in the tragedy of The Gladiator. Whatever may have been the claims of this personation to admiration in past years, it is certain that it must now rank far below nearly , all . the others in which Mr. Forrest appears. There are here and there throughout the drama, sit uations in which the great genius of the actor shines brightly andgivoß to tho character, a momentary aspect of sublimity-; -but much the larger portion of the performance is cruelly like a' burlesque. Not even popnlar respect for Mr. Forrest or popular appreciation of his splendid powers could save it from this ruin- (Oils appearance. The ludicrous effect was ’very much heightened,«too, bytbq grotesque action andappearhnde ofsomoofthe persons who supported the “star.” If Mr. Forrest is judicious ho will-peglect thisplay in .the fu ture and coniine himself to those, characters in -which the excellence of his genius is mani fest to the dullest spectator^. His “King Lear,” in.'whi'ch he appears te-hight,is a splendid personation, one sentence of which is worth a dozen soeries-in thS ! Gia3£aidr.' ' 1 —At the Chestnut Street Theatre, last night, the Lingard troupe .appeared in an amusing and entertaining performance. Mr. Horace Lingard’s transformations and imita tions are extremely creditable, and the acting oLthe other members, of the company is in every respect excellent.

For nearly two hours the streets leading to Clarkenwell, Bethnal Green and Holborn were alive with the successive processions of the workingmen’s socie ties and the democratic associations of the metropolis. Bach; body of men,, as it advanced along the crowded, thor oughfares, proceeded by bands of musia and illumlnateu by torches and transparencies, was followed by repeated cheere from, the people who thronged the sidewalks. Many houses and shops on the line of the proces sions were illuminated, and from the wiildows Of many other depended in the gaslight the hags of France, England and America. X counted" no fewer than thirty American flags " displayed along the - Strand - between- Somersetßouse and Trafalgar square. By 8 o’clock Trafalgar square was one dense mass of people from the front of the National Academy to around ..the statue of King Charles, and the panorama of the swaying and shonting multitude, with the blazing torches, the illuminated lanterns, and the banners rising and falling in the splendor shed oVertho scenebythOcalciumUgnts, disposed, about the Nelson monument, was-picturesque and imposing iri the highest degree. Perfect order prevailed along the route of the processions and throughout the proceed ings of'the evening; and the police were sim ple spectators of the unusual scene. The ban ners borne bv thesocieties were inscribed with mottoes proclaiming the great doctrines of liberty, equality, and fraternity. One in particular,- carried :by a society from Hackney, on’ which was inscribed “The United States of - Europe greet, the United States of America with peace on earth to men of good will,” was hailed with rapturous and repeated cheers. The meeting was presided over -by Mr.-Mcrriman, who made an effective speech, in the course of wbieh he alluded to the fact that, while the London press ridicule and slight that republi can movement in England to which their own daily denunciations ot the worthlessness of.the royal family give constant encouragement and strength, the American press,, three thousand miles away, recognize its importance and lend it the moral sup port of generous sympathy, as the American republic lends it the priceless support of a glorious and snccesaful example. The re marks were received with a perfect tempest of cheers for the United States. Among the resolutions read and adopted by acclamation was one offering the thanks of the workingmen of Englsnd to.- the New York World for sending its representa tives to give America a true account of the demonstrations made by the democracy of England in this great crisis of the destinies of Europe, that America—may-know what the people of Englartti- are doiDg : to- sustain the new-born hopes of republicanism in France and to Americanize the institutions of Great Britain. This resolution was adopted with salvos of applause, and the bands of the meet ing struck up the “ Star Spangled Banner/’ A spirited address to the republic of Franco was adopted, in which it is declared that the monarchs of Germany prosecute the war now' against republicanism and-not against France r anil that in so doing they are guilty of a great crime against liberty and humanity, against the people of Germany as well as against the people of France. The address tells the peo ple of France that the English people have demanded, demand, and will not cease to de mand the recognition of the republic in France until they shall have wrung compli ance with their will from a vacillating and cowardly ministry. The “Marseillaise’’ was sung with tremendous effect. The resolutions of the meeting were wholly ,friendly to the German people, but very bitter against tho German princes, as one of the resolutions ex pressed it, who abase the confidence- of Ger many,as well as against the not less German princes who thwart the freedom of England. The secretary of the meeting announced that the number of addresses in favor of peace now circulating among the working-class of England reached nearly one hundred thou sand, and that they had already received the adhesion of nearly three millions of working men. It was repeatedly declared that the working men of England honored the people of Germany for their patriotism and gallantry in repelling the assault of the Napoleonic dy nasty upon their country; but they implored them to.beware of sufiering themselves to be Jcd.byAheit,_o.wn-.passioji_S._inio.A„fJ'atriciUa.l_ conflict with aiiother great people by whom that dynasty had not been repudiated. The two dominant ideas of the demonstra tion were that the war must cease and that the republic must bo sustained. The demonstra tion increased continually in numbers and en thusiasm, and just before the adjournment the excitement was carried to fever heat by the arrival of another procession from Mile End, bearing between the flags of France and the United States a huge white banner surmounted by a cap of liberty and inscribed in golden letters with the single word, “ The Republic.” It is universally admitted that no such de monstration has ever before been sfien in Lon don, and, whatever may he said or left unsaid by the London journals to belittle and to mis represent it, it.is.considered by thihking men here to be the beginning of a political change for which the government of Mr. Gladstone has prepared the .way, and by which it will he swept out of power if it fails to accept and to assist it. . . It was announced that a national association of workingmen had been formed in the inte rests of European peaco; that an agitation in favor of arbitration in the stead of war would bo began and carried on throughout England; and that demonstrations would be prepared before the assembly of Parliament, to which Parliament and the government would be compelled to give heed. ’Financial.

Unfounded Humor. It is believed in official circles that there is no foundation whatever for the statement of English newspaper correspondents that the King of Prussia intends to treat for terms of peace Only with Napoleon. The rumpis as the terms of the negotiations for peace Ms arisen in consequence of the appearance of articles in official journals, none of which, speak by authority. On the contrary, it is officially known,, here that the King of Prussia is prepared to re ceive, or even make proposals, to the authorir. ties holding Paris imthe interest of peace. It is, however, a aetermined policy that the German troops hold possession of the points already.gaineduntU such timo.as the terms of peace, if settled upon, are ratified by the Chambers regularly elected. . . occupation of Paris.

The Government of Prance, or those in ’; power, whoever they may be, cannot , desire - further slaughter, when all that is required will be to give certain absolute guarantees' that the peace of Europe will not again be dis- . t orbed by the ambitious aspirations or desires of their.people, and that the miseries they themselves have brought upon the tiyo n,v tions who should he friends will never again be repeated. —The Prussian Premier says :-I am -paraded in the columns of certain journals, through ! the agency of their correspondents,- as having stated what those guarantees must be and what they must not he. Of course these state ments are mainly romance. When approached by gentlemen of. the press, I, generally give them civil answers, their imagination does the rest. Some have asked me what France will do; others, what Prussia ought to do. I Buffer these gentlemen to answer their own questions, and usually with a shrug,’ which I have borrowed from our neighbors at present, but who ought not to be our euemies. that is, dla Francaiiie leave them to interpret. Whether I assent or dissent from their stated propositions, according to their several incli nations, you know, of course, wliat guarantees are necessary to secure a lasting peace and to prevent ever again an aggres. sive war on the ; part of France against Germany. It is rather a military than a political question.
