*l^ 4 f bulletin HiwJiffi Sgpmmher 29,1870. /TBE WAB IH BimOPK. The Bartender of'StmbejJJß) which was .an nounced to the Philadelphia Tteic, in an os tia'Bulletin, at an early, hour yesterday mwiing, is the only important recent fact con cerning the war between Germanyand France. Its chief importance consists in' its enabling the invading army to add the 1 besieging force to the troops operating around Metz or Paris. The resistance of the Strasbourg'garrison was most heroic, and the whole story of the siege ■will make onb.'of the most remarkable chap ters in thehistory,of the war. " Paris being cut off from commu nication with th e rest of the ; world, all that is reported concerning the condition of affairs in «nd around that city must, her received with ■doubt. The report of the destruction ,of a hundred thousand Pr ussians by tbe blowing up of the quarries of Mont Valerien, is too stupendous a story fdr credit. The telegrams of to-day, as well as. those of last night, confirm tbe accounts , that the Ger mans are determined to make no peace except «m condition of retaining Strasbourg and Metz, and it is now-even. stated.Jhat^theyjnsiet. on adding Alsace and Lorraine to the North Ger man Confederation. As the French people will not consent to. this, and as no government that would consent to it could possibly stand, tbe prospect of peace is as remote as ever. . THE COMM® ELECTION. Except among the . candidates and the ex-, pectants of office under those that are success ful, there is a remarkable want- of interest in the election that is to take place oh the -11th of next month. The people of both parties happen, for the time, to have their attention .greatly~QCCupied_wAthJthe.,European war, and tbe professional politicians, along with the can didates, are “ running” the canvass. There being no important officer to be chosen is another circumstance that adds to the indif ference of the public as to the result, and there •ia great danger that the number of voters will be very small, and that some of the successful candidates will not really be the choice qjf a majority of the men qualified to vote. difference which the "best men of both parte manifested concerning the primary elections aih}- the nominating conventions is thus likely to be Carried on into the October contest, and the people will themseives be to blame if bad men are elected. At the time the Republican nominations were made, we expressed our views candidly concerning some of the scandalous scenes then, enacted, and the bad character and general un worthiness of several of the nominees. When the Democratic conventions met, the scenes were equally scandalous and most of the noriii riations made were no better than the Repub lican. Indeed, the average is not as good as is the average 'of the'Republican ticket. Thus the people were put in the awkward but not novel position of having to vote for unworthy men on either ticket, or to abstain from voting altogether. It is the old, old story of “ rings” oh both sides, the results of which are tickets on which there are some good men, but the majority, especially in the legislative nomina tions, are not fit to be supported by intelligent and honest constituencies. , The Republican candidates ' for the various judgeships in 'this city are unexceptionable, and they will all be elected by deservedly large majorities. William B. Leeds; our candidate tor Sheriff, is a first-rate man, who will make a faithful and popular officer. Mr. Beatty, the candidate for lleceiver of Taxes, is honest, in telligent, and he has had suoli experience in a subordinate position as thoroughly qualifies ■him. for the duties of its chief. Messrs. Titter mary and Bain, nominated respectively for Ork of the' Orphans’ Court and City Com missioner, are deserving of the votes of theif ■party. Concerning Mr. Bunn’s nomination for Register of Wills, and the manner in which it was obtained, we have expressed our views ' fully,'and have nothing to unsay. He ought not to have been nominated, after his career in the Legislature, and he ought not tobe elected. But we presume lie will’be, because the Demo crats, in their nominating cphvention, did even ■worse than the Republicans, and amid scenes of intrigue and corruption and disorder, put - forward a very unworthy candidate, who will not receive the full support even, of his own party, much less that of discontented Republi cans. As to the Legislative nominees, both ■tickets have on them the names of several of the most notoriously corrupt men of, the last disgraceful Legislature, and these’ should be marked for defeat among the voters of their respective districts. XJIE PUBLIC BUILDINGS QUESTION The greatest error into winch a journalist can fall is to suppose the public is unable to (11s r tinguish sound arguments from false. Arguing upon this presumption, one of the ' Sunday pa ._. pers devotes conßMttyMfi.Bi»ce..to violent; ahnsa of some of the institutiojn» ; which loyal t’liila ■delphiaDS have been accustomed to honor, be cause they reflected credit upon literature) science and art. Other arid rival cities, on reading this attack, may love the treason, when they must despise the traitor. It' has taken years of labor, and the best services of many who have gone to their graves, and whose me mories will ever be honored for the talent, ■liberality and public spirit which they displayed, to build up these monuments to science aud literature, the work of two, and in one in -1 stance of nearly five, generations, and which it is now sought by one blow to demolish. Note the benefit which they have conferred. Tak'ejor hpxitmple the Philadelphia Library, founded just 130 years ago. -Has it ' done nothing for the city of Philadelphia ? llqs , it not done more than enough to entitle it tp the gift of a lot at the hands of the public V. jEvery citizen is in eil'ect a .stockholder. A stockholder owns.and pays air annual contribu tion. Any one else, on depositing the value” of . a work,and paying a very small weekly stipend,' is entitled to its use. This is aj>rivilege greater than is accorded by the British Museum,which ■ js supported entirely by Parliamentary grants, because tlje student must be provided .with a responsible endorsement. Any citizen can,any day in the year that the library is open, have any book, or any number of books, brought to bis table, and this without charge. . ' The Academy of Natural Sciences is, for. its J-Jl collection, and resources,, as well, if not, bcttci known in Eiu'ppe than America. Wo believe there is but one collection in the world superior | The Franklin Institute has proved a .benefit to thousands.of m"ephonfcs,.-wbo cannot !but de plore this gratuitous assault. ' ' The Academy of Fine Arts has been of in calculable service in fostering a .taste .for the arts,'. JWbat.a centre of attraction thcfour.Bquares . would pro'ye, if -o'ccupiedby, these, institutions, j all accessible this irrespective' •of the pecuniary benefit to the citizens in presenting an attraction that would . a visit of hours into one of .days, and ■ ,also .without regard to the enhancement of the < value of property in the neighborhood of Penn squares." ' We have spoken of the abuse of these insti tutions. We shall not retract the charge. Let such .phrases as these prove its truth. The Society .beggars, ” “ spoliation of • the., public property,” ; “ the infamous character of the' proposition,” “ agrarian proposition,” “pre sumptuous insults' .like. ithese,” “ the four associations' who by some hocus , pocus have been juggled into this law ” &c.» &c. This last assertion is in coi£j tradictioh to the tenor of the article which accuses these societies of an attempt at spolia tion, but it appears the writer here relaxes the severity, of his rebuke,'For now it is the socie ties who are deceived—not who/attempt to . deceive; The spirit of the article is worse in its character than are the epithets in which the writer indulges. It is an attempt to rouse the prejudices of the community, because these are “ the aristocracy of corporations, the privileged class,” although in another place the proposi tiomfiMenominated agrarian in . its character. There is one which we are surprised the writer should have overlooked, and which neutralizes the force of his argument as to the character of the buildings these societies may erect-.--It 1b that.tlio jieople will be perfectly protected. Councils may impose any condi tions they please. ■ • They 'may require that the collections of these societies —t.hebooks of -the Philadelphia Li brary, the priceless treasures of ■ the ■ Academy of Natural Sciences, the pictures, works and statuary of the Academy of Fine Arts, and the books and scientific apparatus of the Franklin Institute—shall be first conveyed to the city absolute There is every indication that Washington Square will be selected by a .ma jority of many thousand votes over Penn Square, when the question which has excited the public mind for the last twenty years will be put at rest. - . / Every day the evidence . becomes stronger that Russia intends to assail Turkey, and ful fil hertraditional destiny as the controlling power upon the shores of the Baltic. It is re ported, very likely without authority, that the French Provisional Government, has offered to withdraw the guarantee given to the Sultan by Napoleon, and to permit the Czar to carry out his'design's against Turkey without French In terference, if he will also help France to resist The inducement to such an alliance cannot he very powerful while France is ih her present helpless condition, unable at the best to do more than protest against the Russian plans. It is more likely that the Czar has been purchased at a simitar price by Prussia, and that his consent to--tbe_Prussian schemes of territorial aggrandizement has been secured by a promise that Prussia will wink at any out rage he may choose to commit against -the Turkish Empire. It is hard to believe that Russia would undertake the work of conquest without some understanding of this kind. If sncb an agreement does exist, and Russia as saults Turkey, the attitude of England will be come important. She joined with France in protecting Turkey, and she must resist Rus sian invasion with force, or submit to a humil iation infinitely deeper than that which Was heaped upon her by Napoleon’s proportion to siege Belgium. We can hardly believe that the British Government will bear such an ag- gravated insult with meekness. If it does de cide to assist Turkey, we. shall have the second act in that great military drama, which certain uncomfortable prophets have declared must eventually involve all the powers of Europe. Speaking of the Board of Aldermen the Age this morning says: u Inimpudent defiance of the law they have appointed all the Radical election officers, and also the Democratic officers to watch them !’ r The Age does not state the case truthfully. The law distinctly gives to the Board as a body power to appoint all the election officers of' both parties. It only requires that* a certain proportion of them shall belong to the, rival political organizations which polled the highest and next to the highest number of votes at the preceding general election. It is not claimed by the Age, and it cannot truthfully, be asserted, that the Democrats ‘have not received the whole number of election officers to which they are entitled. What the Board Aider men did, was to reject some of the candidates nominated-- by -Alderuiau .McMullen.. us colleagues. They did this in the exercise of their legal right to discriminate against bad and dangerous men, and they did it in the interests of peace, honesty and fairness. The Aye knows all this perfectly well; and it will not dare to j repeat the assertion quoted above aud print with it the law governing appointments. A grand mass-meeting of the Republicans of, Philadelphia is to be held at Broad and Mar ket streets, on Saturday evening, the call for which will be found in our advertising columns. This'will be the grand gathering, of the cam paign. , Among the speakers expected are Pop! master-G e neral Creswell, Ex-Governor Hawley, of Connecticut, and many distin guished Pennsylvanians. ■ Upon oursecondnage to-day wifi be louud an interesting letterTgiying an account of the great fair now iirptjjgrqss' at ReatJiagr V Orphans’ Court.

I>rominont iff creating these dissensions has been the restless agitator, General Cluserot, .. who has given the Government great trouble by his injudicious oratory and-independent course. Tuesday bo was unanimously elected Commander-in-Chief of the volunteer army of the Bhone by the Municipal Council. Fol lowing immediately upon nls appointment he developed notable characteristics for toment ing disturbances. He miide an address before the City Hall, attempting to incite a hostile de monstration against the. Government of the Bepuhllo. The people refused to swerve in their allegiance, and Uluseret , next appealed to tho National Guard, whom.he attempted to prevail upon to side With him. The troops re mained loyal to the Bepublic, and instead of participating with Cluseret, arrested him. Their ateadfaat faith in the government was . warmly applauded,'aa it was feared that a cor ' tain spirit of dissension-had been aroused by evil communications; but no signs of disloy ‘ alty manifested themselves upon this occasion, •t -Giusexat-was-iranaediately-placcil-'Under.ai:- rest and confined.
