The first defeat in compelling her to declare war on @ ridiculous point of etiquetie —the refusal of the King to stop drinking the waters at Ems, to listen to the complaints of the French Ainbassador. This was a de- feat of the first importance, for it put the moral sense of all the world on the side of Prussia. The eccond defeat is even more deci- sive. It consists in the union of all the Southern States of Germany in support of the Prussian cause. Louis Naroceos has counted on separating Bavaria and Wiirtemberg from the North German Confederation, and converting them, if not into active allies of his own, at least into sullen and undeclared opponents of his enemy. This is what they have been io for- mer great wars; in fact, there is no contest In history in which the leading States of Bouth Germany have not been on the side of France and against Pruseia. Besides, Bava- tia is under obligations to NaroLvon for saving her from annexation to Prussia in 1806. Nevertheless, Bavaria, Wartembc Tg, and Baden are now as hostile to Fsshee as Pruseia be und thetr armies, united ! with those of North Germany, will fight against the French to the bitter end, This unity of Germany is NAroLron’s pegond The European War—A Change Dee manded at Washington, If the war between France and Prussia is to last through two or three campaigns, and @raw all Europe into the arena, or compel it to stand sentine! around its borders, then the United States, if their Government were in tho hands of nen of genius and vigor, might embrace the opportuaity to restore its pres tige among the nat policy that would enable onr people to reap rich rewarts both on sea and land, In the wars of the First Naroinon, from Marengo to Wagram, JEFFERSON presided at the White House, and My Dison manasred our fori Our cominercial marine grow with astonishing rapidity, covering the ocean with its canvas, and doing a profit. able share of the carrying trade of the com: datants, Our sagacious rulers seized this opportune epoch to purchase and annex to the United States the territory of Orleans, whereby wo acquired a wide domain, and forever beeured the mouth of (he Miss #sippi, thus changing the face of tho North Ameri ns, and adopt a line of ) affairs, can Continent When, nearly helf a contury later, the great powers of Burope were each other's throats before the walls of Bevas: topol, WILLIAM L. Mancy was Sveretary of Btate, and the central figure of the national ging at Administration, Hs gelzed the opportunity to proclaim the doctrine, in his famous cor respondence with Mr, HULSEMANN, the Austrian Minister, in the Koszra case, that the American flag covered the head of o naturalized citizen, and claimed hie un- divided allegiance, in whatsoever part of the world he might happen to bo found, Ho thus prepared tho way for those treaties since concluded with foreign powers, in which thie doctrine is acknowledyed, to the great advantage of our adoptod citizens, And when Gov, Marcy found that Mr, Cnramrron, the British Minister, was violat tng our noutrality laws in the interest of one ‘of tho parties to the Crimean war, he did not fawn aro nd hint and encourage bie r to aceopt hie retainoi, but at the elose of an Sble despateh, whercia be went over the on jatives tire grounds of the controversy, he intimated to CRAMPTON, in diplomatic style, that he might deem it convenient to extend his travele beyond the boundaries of the United States, and 80 he would find his passporte enclosed. CRAMPTON packed his trunk and left for home. But how is it now? Have we a President that can initiate a policy adapted to the exi- gency? Rather is he fitted to go junketing around the country, the deadhead of rail- road conductors and tavern-keepere, a sort of wandering Wilkins Micawber, waiting for something to turn up. And for a Secre- tary of State, we have # faint imitation of Turveydrop in the matter of deportment, but who, in respect to the serious duties of his office in a great crisis like that now upon us, is barely fitto be the custodian of the red tape of the Department. And hie Assistant Sceretary iga man who lias been convicted by the Legislature of Massachusette of re. ceiving bribes! If the Republicans hope to retain any part of the confidence of the public, they should demand an immediate change in the State Department, and give the country to under stand that President Grant must leave the White House at the close of his present term. enema eens The Election Frauds—Fair and Unfair Journalism. ¥ On Monday, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, the first conviction for iNegal vot- ing took place, upon the defendant's own confession of guilt. Judge Bannanpd promptly sentenced the culprit to one year's confinement, with hard labor, in the State Prison, remarking at the same time: “ During my expected occupancy for some seven yeare of a seat upon thie bench, T intend to vee the power of this Court in preventing men from voting more than once, or atuptiig the ballot bow, or perpetrat. ing any Sroud of that kind ; tecawee if you do not stop tilegat voting, and attempts by auch means as thie to deprive honest citizens of their right to be heard in the Government, the Republic cannot last many years.” Hore is a fall, unqualified recognition by a Judge of the Supreme Court—the most emi- nent criminal judge of the country—of the ab- solute necessity of putting stop to clection fraude ; and a pledge, during the term of his continuance in office, to use all the power of his Court to establish this essential reform. Should not such a proceeding, accompa- nied by such # declaration, from such-a source, give unalloyed satisfaction to every honest voter, to every sincere patriot ? The man who can do most promises to do all in his power to suppress an 1 which threatens the very existence of republican government ; and accompa\ his promise by a simultaneous act of perform- ance, Is not this a ground of congratula- tion—an occasion for rejoicing ? Bat the New York Tribune takes a very different view. It finds in the noble conduct of Judge BARNARD no cause for commenda- tion ; but, on the contrary, an occasion for extreme abuse—for coarse and vulgar de nuneiation! Ts this liberal ¢ Is it fair? ton and wicked ? It affords fresh reason for regret at the un timely iMness of Mr. Gneetey. He was sincere in his desire to put an end to election frauds. But his principles seem to have left the paper with him, aud the indications are that he is temporarily succeeded by a writer virile in nothing but malignity. The course of the Improved Times con- trast# most favorably with that of the 7rid- une in this matter. The Zimes praisee Judge Barnanp without etint. This is honorable. This is just and high-minded journalism. We feel assured that the injustice of the Tribune will exert no untoward influence on Judge BARNAND, to cause him to desist from the great and good work which he has un- dertaken, The Tribune in this thing is no true indicator of the public sentiment. The citizens not only of this city and State, but of every State throughout the Union, fully appreciate the necessity of punishing frauds. Jent voting, and of Judge Rannann’s con- ih theee premises. It ie no exagger- stimate which Judge BARNARD has ex- pressed of the importance of purifying the Lallot box; for upon this, as he well ssys, depende the preservation of our liberties e Te it not wan We are assured that Sripney WepsTEr, J.C. B, Davis, Paut 8. Fonnes, and taeir partners, are not the only speculators who have been manceuvring to make millions for themselves by the purchase of Cuba from the Syanish Government. One of our cor- respondents at Washington informs us that no less than six different rings or combina tions have been organized for this purp Dut that the one which has Wrusrer and Davis among its managers is the most powerful and important, for the reason that jen, Prim is in it in Mad¥id, and that it controls the State Department and the Presi dent in Washington, We tell these fellows who thus propose to get rich-to pocket millions—out of the blood and ruin of Cuba, anl out of the honor of the United States, that their efforts will all be vain, SipNEY Weusren or BAN chor? Davis may earn a few thousande from the Spanish treasury ; but the millions of Cuban blood- money they will never touch The Cubans hove for some time past been making great progress. will weaken the hand of their enumy, and fae'ltate the work that remaine for them. Cuba will be independent, and that by the virtue, the pertinacity, and the courage of her sons, Hasurton Fisn and Unysses 8, ane’ may be sold in tho future as they have been in the past; but the Cuban people will be free, and will not be sold. ee mst not be a Political Machine. The Police Cowmiesioners have acted wisely in declining to accept tho resignation of Superintendent Jounpan; but they will The Potice act more wisely if they will remove the reasons which prompted him to offer it, These reasons are understood to be the im- possibility of conducting the police with such subordinate officers, euch men, and such influences as the corrupt Tammany politi- cians force upon the department, There wae never a better police than that which we had for many years under the administration of Tomas C. ACTON and his annociates, Mr, ACTON was a Republican Lut thie fact never appeared dn his man: agement of the police, The war in Europe | Honesty, devotion, energy, and efficiency were the qualities that: he infused into every branch of the department. His own labors were untiring, and he never allowed a bad man to be put into the police through any political in- jin plain English, he dismissed him, and 1 Auence, and never retained a bad man when proved to be euch, no matter what the power by which he was supported. Let the present Commissioners imitate this example, Let them cease to make the police a partisan agency. Let them turn out all bad men who are connected with it. Let them gee to it that no power shall force thieves, pickpockets, burglars, and State Prison convicts into the ranks of the force, Let them tolerate none but competent and upright men as officers, Let them give the Superintendent a free hand in everything that relates to the en- forcement of the law and the discipline of the department, end we are eure that he will not desire to resign, and that no good citizen of New York will be willing to have him. ——- Selling Things. Will not aman who sells hie client sell out his country’s interest if the temptation and opportunity are sufficient? What is President Grant's opinion on this point? What is his opinion of his As- sistant Secretary of State, Jonn C. B. Davis? a Mr. Bornrowe must have made the Conti- nental Hotel at Long Branch very attractive to draw down there such a bome-body as Judge Barnany; and wherever the Judge goes, other choice spirits are sure to be along with him. We learn that one of the most cheertul and agree. able companics ever collected together are now at the Continental ; and they speak in terms of unqualified praise of the manner in which the hotel 1s kept. Belles whose beaux are backward about speak- ing out will find that Long Branch bas a singular influence in making people communicative, It made even the silent Grant speak out, when be was there last summer, He spoke to Tow Mun- pny, and promised bim the Collectorsbip of New York; and what is more—at least so fur as Mr. Morpne ie concerned—he has kept his word. And now Graxt and Monpny are to be there again; and there will undoubtedly be several other pstriotic gentlemen around who are willing to serve their country in public stations, One of the pleasantest things about holding an office to which extensive patronage attaches must be the proof which it furnishes of the vast number of disinterested friends that the occupant possesse: Mr. Murpny’s friends are as thick at present as bees in swarming time, But though they may throng the Continental, we are assured that there will be room left, and the very best of Accommodations, for numerous other parties. There is no more desirable place of resort for thoee secking either health or pleasure. sealer = Now that the war in Europe gives the Secretary of State in Washington something else to do besides writing letters of condolence about dead lords, and letters of compliment about living ones, be feels like a fish out of water, Meanwhile, the Spanish Minister has still got him by the gills, and, between the. two dilemmas, the way he flounders about is a pity *to behold. Ee We are pleased to see that the Hon. Jacon Tlannexpenou, member of the State Senate from the Ulster district, is defending District Attorney Samver D. Mont before Gov. Horrmax, from the charges brought egainst him by the Brooklyn Ring. We are satisfied that Senator Hanpen- cn’s action in this matter is not merely pro- fessional. Not only is be # thorough lawyer, but he is @ statesman of large ideas and unsullied integrity, who well understands that the per- manent success of the Democratic party cannot be promoted by a system of fraudulent elections such as that for opposing which Mr. Monnis is now persecuted by the Brooklyn Ring. Standing high as Mr. Hanpensencu does in the confidence of the public, we draw the best auguries from his sturdy advocacy of Mr. Morris's cause, HaeiPatieulilees Lord Joun Morey is packing up his things in London to make way for Baron LINGAUYSEN. It is not impossible that the two honorable dignitaries will meet half seas over. —_- Owing to the comparative inaccessibility of porte for emigration vo the people of Austria, and in some degree to the fact that Austria is little more than half as densely populated as England, the empire of the Hupsburgs hos con- tributed a very small proportion of our foreign- born population, In the nineteen years ending with 1868, fiom all the Austrian provinces, only 07,726 persone enigreted, This fact bas un- doubtedly much to do with the wonderful enthu- siasm with which the Germans of the United States have espoused the cause of Prussia in the present European war, The state of feeling among the German-Americans might be very dif- ferent if @ fair proportion of the latter were natives of Austria, Ee It ie a noteworthy fact that the sharp sighted and money- loving Yankee is more easily seduced into rash speculations and hazardous ent crprises than a citizen of New York, Pennsyl- thern States, This facility im taking riske is the natural offspring of an ayarie cious disposition, Eagerness to accumulate, a haste to grow rich, becomes overmastering, and st night of in of & This is ween in the mi plicity of railroads that threed every part of New England. We doubt whether there is a rail. road in the Eustern States that was not nearly or vania, or the 5 prudence and discreti » are oft the ayidi quite m dead loss to the original sbarehdlders, The New Haven and Hartford road, the first con structed in Connecticut, and now one of the best paying stocks in the country, was built with great difficulty, being considered a failure fora long time, The New Haven and New London road was sold to sattsty the first issue of bonds, and, although fifty miles in length, brought, with 4 stock and depots, only three hundred | thousand dollars. It was reorganized on that basis, and, being managed with intelligent economy, he re is paying regular dividends, The I'resident, who is also Superintendent, is a eapital railroad man, tull of energy and activity, although incumbered by Little Critrexpex, who is fastened on to the Company as an ornamental figurehead in the capacity of a nominal Vice-President, The fate of the Norwich and Worcester is well remember- ed, The Housatonic and the Naugatuck passed through many vicissitudes, bankrupting scores of the first stockholders, So of the Canal road, running from New Haven to Westfield, the Dan- bury and Norwalk, the Providence, Hartford and Erie, and several other smaller concerns, which start ina desert and end ina wilderness, The latest enterprise—and it really seems likely to be pushed through—is the Air Line road, to run from New Hayen to Willimantic, @ link in what is expected to become the great thoroughfare be- tween New York and Boston, The people along the line are under the strongest hallucination on the subject, Because it is some twenty miles shorter than the route by way of Hartford, Springfield, and Worcester, and about the same distance shorter than the New London and Provi. dence line, itis expested to do all the through business betw Boston and New York, A new route, through @ thinly populated country, and touching no considerable town op the way, and competing for its freight with the Conneeticnt river and the Sound, cannot reasonably be expected to succeed against such powerfol rivals. Thestwo existing Ines run through a aucces- sion of cities and villages, while the Air Line runs mostly through # poverty-struck eoun- try, where there is no business for it at present, nor much prospect of any in the future, Start- ing from New Haven, it strikes a corner of North Haven, @ small town, as villages are called in Connecticut, where they make nothing but soft bricks and white beans. Then it skirts Wallingford, carefully avoiding that part of the town where there are important manu- factories ; then it touches the edges of Durham and Middlefield, sx all towns devoted to agriculture, and raising just enough to subsist the people, and affording vo business whatever for a railroad ; for the inhabitants raise nothing to sell, and they never go from home. Middletown is the next settlement, It was a sleepy old town, with no enterprise or activity, until a few years ago, when a few of the people woke up and had a spasm of energy and industry, But the town lies on the Connecticut river, which must con- tinue to transport most of the freight which it sends to market. Crossing tho river at this point, the Air Line runs through half a dozen small towns, which will not give it business enough to pay for the oil required to run the road. Willimantic is the eastern terminus of the Air Line, where it forms a connection that reaches Boston, The Hartford, Providence and Erie crosses the track of the Air Line here, and all the connecting lines are controlled by hostile interests, This is a fair statement of the case and if any man supposes that these comparative disadvantages are to be overcome solely by the route being twenty miles shorter than the others, he has yet to learn that all the most prosperous railway lines in the country derive their largest gains from way business, much of the through business being done at a small profit, —— Col.
