The conference committees having failed to agree to the $4,000,000 appropriation to carry the Indian treaties into effect, the House voted to place $5,000,000 at the dis posal of the President for that purpose. It is said that ex-President Johnson is engaged in writing "a constitutional vindi cation of my policy." Andy's "policy" is to make "breeches," but he never was suc cessful at the business except when he work cd the tailoring.

The old arguments, that it discourages emigra tion, c;s!;es voting difficult, etc., lire elabo rate! to a iiioiliiiou degree.

This act is to apply to all cities having twen ty thousand iuhaliitauts and upward. This is ti e bill t he Demoet aoy denounce as uncon stitutional and cutrageuus, tho arbitrary devise f radical despotism. The election laws, however, amply provide fur the guard ing nf the polls against fraudulent votes, and lor the overhauling ot the books and the votes of the United States -officials, ; and we presume that in our corning j 2uviuibtr election these officials will be amply provided to overlook and inspect the J work at all the election districts in the cities i to which it will apply.- An amusing evi dence serving to .-how where thehoe pinch es the toes of ihe.-e peevbb joir nali.st", is found iit the census reports.

Oil Tuesday, July 12th, whi'rt the Or anirciiieii were celebrating the anniversary of 'the battle of the lloyue, at L!m Park, New York, an attack was m:ide upon them by about 300 Iiiidi laborers, which resulted in a i-eiious riot, and the death of five pcr-ons, and the wou:;Jius cf about one hundred others. This riot c'hibodies a host of histo rical antecedents. A fa;- back as the ninth century there was founded in the South of Trance a principality of Orange, which in 1570 fell by inheritance into the possession of a Dutch lViuee the Prince of Nassau the ancestor of that WMiam of Oran-e, who in the revolutiou of IGsS, was called to the throne of J'nglaud. His predecessor and competitor James I., found a loyal support in Ireland, and .so it ca.ue to pass that a hundred an 1 sixty eight years ago, July 1, 1C90, and, old style, (July 12, new style), the great battle of the Coyuo was fyusht, Trhi-.li decided nut only the fate of th6 IIou.c of Stuart it tiLianu, Lu also that .,f t! rvf, je La.r.o.ic vcd;gton.

Last week we announced a probable rup ture between France and Prussia. Now comes the intelligence of the commencement of hostilities an engagement havii-g taken place at Forbach, on the Rhine. The Prus sian loss is given at 3,000 and the French at 2,000, but uecds couGrmatiou. The Pitts burgh Dispatch after announcing tba be ginning of hostilities continues : It was regarded as entirely probable, from the first explosion of ill feeling over the candidature of Prince Leopold, fhat war between these two powers would ensue. But it is not necessary to look lor the cause in recent events theie have been mrely the pretest. The trouble lies far deeper. In one sense, it is a lam ily fued, between the Napoleons and the llohenzollerus, hand ed down from the First Napoleon and Fred erick William. In the wara of the great Napolien, Prussia was at one time despoiled of half her territory, which was continued to France by the treaty of Tiisi. This act of spoliation embittered the royal family of Prussia exceedingly, especially Queen Lou isa, who from that time incessantly plotted against Franco, and was an important agent in briugitig aoout the Continental alliance. It is said that sho was with the column of Blucher, at the battle of Waterloo, and in spired the Prussian troops with her inteuse hatred against Napoleon. The treaty of Paris more than restored to Prussia her original territory. That portion lying on the French si da of the Rhine lias been a source of trouble and controversy from the time of the accession of Napoleon Third to the throue. War has secured imminent several times, with th ostensible object ot a rcctiiieation of boundary, but va:t averted by dtsploiuccy. At tha close of the war of ISoij, Fiance would bare engaged Prussia in war rete it not for the fact that the Prus sian army was mobilized and in the flush ot victory, and therefore in better condiiiou for a trial of strength than it tiii-lit be at some subseipicut time.. But the Litter feel-iii-r between the two families was clearly ap-pa-A tit at the tiru;. The political cause for the war is, the large accession of territory au.l population to i'rus -t as the result of the campaign of 18oG ag-inst Austria. Thisdil much to ward consolidating all the German princi palities under Prussian protection, if it did not indeed combine them as a part of the Prussian nationality. Thi-, for ail practical purposes, gave I'i ussia one of the largest populations of Kurope, and elevated her to a first calss position among the powers of liurope. Added to this, Prussia has pur sued a eareful, but agressie policy, aud since lSOft, has really contested with Fiance the politicial dominar.cy of Europe. It has been evident for some time ttfiit she was drawing other great powers into a close friendly alliance, but for w hat purpose could only be conjectured. But the close alliance sought with Spain, by the elevation of a Prussian Prince to the throne, could not be misunderstood. Taken in connection with ether intrigues, of which the French Km peror could not be ignorant, it was a threat uain-t France. It meant the extcn-ioti of the power and iuiiuence of Prussia, as a part of her preparation for the inevitable colli. ion with France. In getting hoi. 1 of Prim, and inducing him to accept Prince Leopold, Bismarck gained a victory over Napoleon. But tl.esutJdeu action of FiHtice deprives 1'i ussia of the advantage of the diplomatic success, unless as a result Spain should join foi tunes with her. It is then a contest for iiitiueuee and power. It trans fers the decision from the realms of intri.irue and Uipomacy to the field ot battle. The victor there will gain tremendously over his opponent. The appeal to tha fortune of arms involves fur leaching coiiicipietteej to b th parties at issue. Prussia, if he gains the day, will be the domiuiaiit politicial power of Fu rope, unless Russia should dispute the claims. If she fail he will be shorn of her Rhine p.-oi 'ccs, and reduced in point of political influence to a second rate power, 'd ue pres tige o! SodowH. and lSlm will be broken. On the other baud. Fiance, if successful, will gain hugely in territory and population, will it .-cover her waiiiog political prestige, will Mi p djsreiiMons at home, will extend Iter power int.), and pel haps over Spain, and Napobon wiii have apparently securely es tablished his dynasty. He w ill stand on a holier pinnacle than ever. Bat if he tails, '.here is treat reason br believing that his dynasty will ,t blotted out and Fiance torn with internal dissensions. lie therefore takes a larger risk than Prussia, and plays lor iar-j"i spoils. The urgency with which he ha. pushed on to war, leads (o the. o!iu ioti that, he is confident, of liuc-ecss,, or that ho is iiiij c!!cj by t on;e dan.ter not apparent to the public. The force of the armies of France and Prussia are too nearly equal for much advantage to be predicted on these alone. It is sai l that France has 70,000 men leatly to maic'i at the tap of the dt urn, while Prussia, with North Germany, can evmmaud S4G.O0O men at once. Thus so l-ir a. mere warlike t'ice is concerned, the two powers are very nearly equal. Much most, therefore, d-pend on the facility with which troops tan be concentrated at piven j oints by either of the two powers.

COMMUSICATIOff. A Word to the "Bloods." Jilt. Editor : In the "Lycoming Stand ard," of July 6th, there appears a short com munication over the signature of "Bloods,' in which reference is made to the recent ex sion lrofn this place to Williamsport. I confess, Mr. Editor, for my part I fail to see the "Blood," except such as would nat urally flow from the writer's untimely mur der of the "King's English." liut I will divide him by four, and see if it will briug the answer : 1st. The writer says: "An article, evideatly written by a member of the Cleartietd excursion party, reflected discredit upon the hospitality of tbe citizens of Williamsport." This is a misrepresentation. We never accused theiu with such a thing as "hospi tality." No hospitality being shown, no credit was due; and, consequently, we could not "reflect discredit." No; we mike no complaint of want of hospitality, but, we think, we have just cause for complaint for the manner in which they "entertained,r us with their counter-jumping and log-pond aristocracy, at the "hop" on the evening of the 24th. If the good people of Williams port did not see fit to txtend to us (the ex cursionists) the usual civilities, they should also have declined to afflict us with their snob aristocracy. 21. The writer says : ' The hop was gotten up expressly for the Clearfield party. '; This we deny in toto. If it was "rotten up expressly for the Clearfield party," why was it whispered shout that that was the "regular hop night" at the llcrdic House, and why did oas coupb refuse to go on the floor beeau-e a part of a et was from Clear field ? As far as re,'ards"our utter inability to participate in their dances," we question the gentleman's veracity ; for we saw no new or complicated figure estc-cu'.ej, esceptoiic. r. when a set started off with a ci.tilliou, which they, by some means, contorted into a "saw mill jig, "or some other queer inanr.uvie, unknown to all except the "Bloods" of Wil liamsport, where Pete Ilerdic is Mayor. Besides, we don't enns-der ourselves as well posted in "fancy" dancing, yet :c never pass in front of our partners, which we regard not only a violation of the rules of etiquette, but contrary to the properly executed evo lutious of a figure. 3d. The writer says : -I al.-o oniierstaud that, ineonnc -tier a ith having a f; ee ride over the road, they bad ail their exneuaes paid at every town except Williamsport.'' This statement is partly correct. The generous and hospitable citizens of a neigh boring"town," ou our route, did provide a free dinner, contrary to our expectations. For this they hare our thanks ; but we were tul'y prepared for the trip having enough of money along to defray all expenses, with out even counting the Jifty thousand dull tr of Wiliiamsport protested paper that we took with us, and upon which we did not re ceive one rent. 4th. The writer suys : "Is it not strange that the proprietors did not Sive them tb c eatables and all free for the sake oi a reputation ic Clearfield." Eatables! Eatables!! That's where the laugh cutties in. You had better say xf'irre ables ! Wc called for eve-rr thing on the bi!N of fare, an 1 got but little the most prcuii ncut features being a goblet of water, an ctpty plate, and a greasy napkin.

Clearfield, July IS, '1S70. Reliable intelligance from the Winnipeg country, indicates that all danger of war has been averted, lliel baring accepted the pro positions of the Dominion Government, con tained in the Manitoba treaty. The Kiel government will retire in favor of the new authorities tent cut by the Canadians. It is presumable that eutirc amnesty is grant ed lliel and his followers. This proves an agreeable arrangement all around. It would have cost the Canadians heavily to subdue tho Winnipeg government arid people, while it would have involved considerable loss of life to both parties. All this is happily averted, aud the Red River country will be annexed to the United States at the time when Canada is taken in. Italy is taking nt3asures for the abolition of the custom of selling and leasing children.
