A Serious Eiot.
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

in the revolutiou of IGsS, was called to the

"War Between. Franca and Frussia.
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. Tlr;

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. U. yes;
the lepulation of the house was always good
rtttii ns, and we can cheerfully leeotnniend
it as a good place for excursionists espe
cially in lent. But, Dvt anymore I lei die
House for Joseph.
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.
To the general favor with which this move
ment toward freedom must be regarded, will
be added special satisfaction when it is
known that a htrj;e number of the sold aud
leased cliiblfn are employed as organ grin
ders; (hat they are regularly educated in a
cruel calling cruel to performers and crud
er to involuntary audiences : and that they
are then exported to this country, and oth
ers with which Victor Emanuel's govern
ment is at peace, to prey upon the pockets,
and what i-; worse, the ears, of friendly peo
ple. The liberal Italian policy just initia
ted will be hailed wiih joy if it help to put
ati end to the ambulant musiciau nuisance.
ATkce Snake Stout. The Somerset
Herald says : "While tbe driver of the stage
coach, one day of week before iat, was on
the way from Cumberland to Somerset, he
passed on the road side a large black snake
measuring from eight to ten feet, and while
endeavoring to kill it the MiaLe r-tti before
him, up the side of the stage into the boot.
The pas'engers in the hack were greatly
frightened, and all jumped out declaring that,
hey would go no further unless the snake
was killed. With a great deal of labor the
bacgaje was all taken out, when the snake
was found in one coruer of the boot sad at
once dispatched.
The principal product ol Styria is iron.
A tradition ot long standing am jug the na
tives relates that when the barbarians from
the regions north of the Danube drove the
Romans from Styria, the Genius of the
Mountains appeared to the conqtierers and
..:!. i'T..t. i -ii ,
aji.i . iaic your cuoice : win you nave
gold mines for a year, silver for twenty years,
or iron forever?" The wise ancestors of
the Styrians,' who had just began to appreci
ate the relative value of the precious metals
at once re-olved to accept, iron forever.
A Des Moines dispatch Fays ; "The har

ern Iowa the work is general, and Northern
Iowa is well at it. The best of the reports
come iu from the new crop. The quality of

had for three or four years. The yield, too
will be much larger than we expected. Corn
is doing finely and will Le heavier than ever

Lousiville thinks the census ir.cn will put
