War i'm EurOPe-ItS Inevitable
consequences.

The blow has been struck Germany, with
her 'hirty-twO millions Of l. lulatiUn, has IN
vaded and attacked Denmark, with her two
millions OF people and her liz lie army of forty
thousand. The latter, however. has not reeoiled
from the attack, but stands brzyely up To defend
what she deems her unalterdble rights. The
Danes are 50 small a nation that all comparison
between them and their enemies is ridiculous.
They have, as We stated above, but forty thousand
troops, and can expect but twenty thousand from
SGeden. The Gernans,h hence, TO take = military
view of this conflict, may look upon their prey
as secure, the more so - England, spite OF her
evident desires IN she matter, cannot act alone IN
favor OF Denmark, and that France, for purposes
of her own, will not act jointly with England IN
this question. 1t is evident that Napoleon wishes
TO show to the world the want of power and in
huence which mars the efforts of England, and
ut the same time cause all Europe TO feel that
France is the controlling Power. If England
viii consent To a congress, then France viii
speedily arrest this war, as, joining with Eng
land, che could dictate to Germany.
Prussia would be influenced by France and
England, because she is now making war against
the VIII of her Legislature. 1t Will be borne IN
mind that the King dissolved the Chambers be-
cause they refused to vote the war appropriations,
and that ut present Prussia is making war upon
what small surplus of former sums devoted to
that purpose may still exist. If, however, Ger
many, unchecked by France, conquers the duchies,
it must not be supposed that the matter could
there end. The Danes would, sooner or later,
make sich alliances as would allow them to
engage ia war once more and England, whose
pride viii have been humblel in this matter,
will find the means 10 punish Germany. There
can bs NO doubt that consequences of the most
important character must follow upon the cap
ture and occupation Of the duchies by the Ger
manic Confederation. n general war III Europe
would seem, then, almost inevitable. Jealousies
and anger will have been aroused which naught
but war can satisfy, and those nationalities which
now sigh for reform will undertake the achieve
ment OF their desires, and disorders and insurrec-
tons will become general Austria viii see an
opportunity of becoming the head of the con
federation, and will intrigue for il; Russia will
see in the troubles OF her neighbors an escape
from her own France will see the gain of those
Rhenish provinces she has SO long coveted and
thus, once \ war is well begun, no one may say
where il will end.-N. Y. Herald.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES. The we'll.
informed Washington correspondent OF
the Springfield Republican, alluding to
the appointment Of Committee on the
Conduct Of the War, says: "The more
faithful the Committee, the more unSatis-
factory will be their work to the RepubIi,
cans. We had good proof of this in the
history Of the Contract Committed in
the last Congress. Mr.. Dawes pursues
his work with faithful zeal and with ex-
traordinary ability. Was he thanked by
his political friends in Congress for this
zeal and ability Not a bit of it. lie
was too much in earnest, was too success.
ful in uncovering Frauds not understand,
ing the noble art OF whitewashing theft. "
The President sent for him and remon.
strated with him about his report and
tried to persuade him to suppress it, but
he refused, and his refusal was regarded
by his party as grave offense. Mr..
Gooch, serviceable tool, is the chairman
of the Committee, and he will answer the
requirements Of the Administration and
make out such a report as it dictates -
lie was appointed with that object and
will not disappoint those to whom be
owes his appointment.

W,Nrs r. nnnprrn-The Raltimnre

WANTS II DRoPPED.-Tbe Baltimore
Clipper, one of the intensely loyal journals
of the day., and edited by an agent of the
Administration, regrets that Gov. Brad-
ford should make any reference in his
messageto the interference of the militia
ry authorities in the last Maryland elcc'
tion-an election which was carried by
fraud and violence, and which is mock
cry Of free institutions. 1t would, it
says, "prefer that the whole subject
should be dropped into oblivion" The
Clipper seems to be ashamed of the whole
business Its recommendation would be
very pleasant for the guilty parties and
serve the purposes of the Administration /;
but Gov. DHSdford does not "see it in
that light" His constituents have been
insulted and outraged, the laws Of his
State have been violated, and his duty to
his country and his own self respect con.
strain him to censure the iniquitous pro-
ceedings Nine.tenths of the legal voters
of Maryland are opposed to Lincoln's pol
icy, but they were not allowed to mani
fest their opposition at the last election.
The military took possession of the polls,
allowed and persuaded aliens to vote,
broke open the ballot boxes and destroy
cd Democratic tickets, and, by order OF
the Administration, arrested Democrats
and prevented them from voting. Men
selected by the military and by aliens,
not elected, miSrepresent Maryland in
Congress and in her State Legislature.
The chief of the Plug Ugly" assassins
conducted the election, and he was sup
ported by the entire power of the Admin
istration. His vile creatures were em-
ployed to do the voting and the military
were ordered to overawe the people Of
Maryland. by Stanton & Co. An election,
thus conducted, was a farce, and Gov.
Bradford, had he dropped the subject"
would have been false to bis oath and to
the people of Maryland.

ALL MEMBERS OF TIE LEAGUE 1T turns
out that Olmsted, Underhill and Topics,
arrested on charge of furnishing contra
band goods to the rebels, from New York
are all Leagucrs and loudly loyal. As
they are prominent AbolitionistS and the
friends of Seward. it is probable they will
not be punished for their vilIainy. The
Administration is too generous to impris-
on its friends, it matters not how deep
they may be stepped in crime. Better
that the Government should be plundered
than that its friends should suffer.

One Man Power. Abraham Lincoln,
says the Hartford Times, has informed
the Arkansas delegation that one,tenth
Of the people Of that State can at any
time call a State Convention, nominate
State officers. and put the machinery OF a
State Government in motion" He told
them that he had authorized this to be
done in Louisiana, and that the people, or
one-tenth Of them, in Arkansas, could do
the same thing This is governing ma.
,joriteS with a high hand But where
did Mr.. Lincoln get the power for author
izing one.tenth Of the people Of State to
govern ninc.tenthS OF them? From the
arSenals? Is this man the servant or
master Of the people? lie has sworn to
preserve, protect and defend the ConSti-
tuition. But the doctrine that one tenth
may govern nine-tenths, pretty cffectuallv
squcIcheS that instrument, which has
been regarded as Of great,valuc and au-
thority by all the former Presidents.

A FAMuRE.-The Conscription law is
conceded by its friends to be wretched
failure. 1t was passed apparently for the
purpose of depressing the poor and pro-
tecting the rich. While it was under
discussion it was publicly stated that cap
italists raised large sum to secure its
passage, and that many members voted
for it for consideration. 1t virtually
exempts rich men from Fighting, as they
can easily pay the commutation ax,while
thousands Of poor men are unable to
raise it, and failing to do so are forced
from their homes into the army at the
point Of the bayonet. 1t is believed to be
unconstitutional, and has been so declared
by the most eminent juristS Of our coun-
try. How it has worked the following,
from the Army and Navy Journal, tells {:
We have official authority for the statement
that out of 100000 men who were drawn, only
II 900 obeyed the decree by going into the
army.

MORE FRAUDS. The Committee on the
Conduct of the War are engaged in nves-
tisating certain frauds in the Ordnance
Department. The brihing of weighers
of copper,by which short weight has been
given to the Government, has been one
of the most prolific methods of swindling.
The developments are startling, and affect
persons in nearly all of the Navy Yards
in the large cities. Prominent Abolition
lists, both in the Cabinet and in Congress,
are implicated in the frauds, and fears are
entertained that measures will be taken
by them to suppress the report of the
Committee. Every department of the
Government is perfectly rotten with cor
ruption, and this is why the Administra-
ton resorts to fraud and violence to carry
elections. 1t dare not trust to full and
honest investigation Of its acts; selfpre-
servation compels it to stihe exposure.

Death of Hon. Henry c. SlOss-Mect-
Ing of the Bar.

The members of the Bar aud Officers of the
Court met in the Court House last Saturday
evening, and organized by calling George q.
blanchard, Esq, TO the Chair, and appointing
\. A. Hamilton, Esq, Secretary. The Chair
briefly and feelingly announced the sudden
death Of Hon. Henry C. Sloss, and stated that
the meeting was called to do honor to the mem
ory Of the deceased, AMI to make suitable ar
rangements for attending his funeral.
On motion. u committee Of three, consisting
of Judge johnson, J. G. McCallum aud A. &.
Searle, Esq'rs. was appointed to report resOlu-
tions expressive Of the sense and feelings of
the Bar. Judge johnson submitted the follow
ing, which were adopted:
Resolved, That it is with feeling of unfeign-
ed sorrow we are called upon 20 submit TO that
Providential diSpensation which has forever re-
moved from our midst our worthy and highly
esteemed Brother, Henry Clay Sl0ss.
Resolved, That our departed brother was n
warm and generous friend, an attable, c0ur.
teous and heightened gentleman, an able and
much esteemed member of the Bar, an upright
aud honest man, and good and universally
respected and esteemed citizen.
Resolved, That we tendeHDur heartfelt sym.
pathies to those relatives and friends of the
deceased who, having known him longest,
loved him best.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be
published in our city papers, and that copies of
them be forwarded to the relatives of the de-
ceased.

STILL STEALING. Our Eastern ex-
changes are filled with accounts of the
swindling operations of Abolition con-
tractors and office holders. The Eastern
Argus states that the Secretary of War
gave an Abolition firm in Augusta a con-
tract for furnishing coffee, out of which
they cleared upwards of a million of dol.
lars Lower bids were put in by respon .
sible parties, but no attention vas paid to
them, and the contract was given to the
highest bidders to reward them for parti
san services. The New York Sun, an
Administration paper, says: "Secretary
Welles, by stroke ofa pen, makes the
fortunes of relatives with commissions for
the purchase of crazy old hulks, which
inperil the lives of our soldiers, and en-
danger the success Of great exp edition.
The Treasury Department is rotten from
Washington TO the Mississippi, and thence
to the Atlantic coast"

IN late speech Wendell Phillips said:
ave have laid 250,O0O of the noblest
lives in the Union in the grave We have
mortgaged the industry of the future with
S4,O00,O00,000." Phillips rejoices in the
waste of all this life and treasure, if the
negroes can only be freed. He is even
willing to murder all the white people in
the land, If the darkies can have the land
afterwards. Day Book

A BRIGnT PICTURE. New Haven
Courier, a strong Administration paper,
says:
Contractors have carried on this war
They have swindled the Government out OF
hundreds of millions"
The New York Times, another leading
organ of the Abolition party, says:
"The most worthless Of trash has been re-
ceived from favOrites, and paid for as if fully
up to the contract requirements; and in many
transactions connected with warlike prepara.
tions T the Government, there has beeu the
taint of peculaton and dishonesty"
\ Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Courier says:
Recent developments connected with the
swindling operations at Alexandria. have led
To the suspicion IN the part of the authorities
that others of higher rank than those now in
arrest are implicated
Well may the organs of these swim.
ding agents Of the Government tell the
people that "mOney is plenty and times
are good" Money is plenty with them
and they have good time the war fur.
niSheS them with means and their "loy.
atty" saves them from punishment for
their crimes. LincoIn's Administration
is one Of unbonndcd fraud and corruption.
1t stands alone in its infamy
preached and unapproachable. The mil.
ions that are the plunder of the present
horde of Abolition thieves will never be
counted. There is no end to the dis.
graceful revelations. Every day brings
to light other and more startling frauds,
and so frequent are they that they nc
longer create surprise.

PORTRAIT OF ABoLITIoNlsN. The por-
trait of Aboltionism. drawn by its own
hand, is seen in the following resolutions.
The first was passed, on motion of Wen
dell Phillips, at the Tabernacle, in New
York, May 4, 1S4S. From that day to
this he and his party has perSiStshtly la
bored to destroy the Union. He is a
power in the Government; the Admins
tration has adopted his platform, and it
is thrust doNrn the throats Of the people
at the point Of the bayonet. It is "dis-
loyal" to oppose or say = word against
the traitors who have leagued together to
dissolve the Union. Is not the following
resolution, reader, full Of treason ?
"Resolved, That recognizing. as we do, with
profound gratitude, the wonderful progress our
cause has made during the last eighteen years;
and yet considering the Efforts now making to
| impress the community with the idea that the
| church aud the land can and will abolish slave.
! rv by its own virtue, aud that the parties are
able and willing to grapDle with the evil, this
socety deem il IA duty to reiterate its onvic-
tionS, that the only exodus for the slave out of
bis present house OF bondage, is over the ruins
of the present American Church, and the pres
eut American Union"
He is now gloating over the "ruins of
the American Union" The second reSo-
luton was adopted by the AbolilioniStS
of New York, in December, 1S59-adopt
ed by the men who now shape the policy
of the AdminiStration-by the men who
are constantly boasting Of their 10y atty
and patriotism. Here il is
WHEREAS, The dissolution Of the present
imperfect aud inglorious Union between the
free and the slave States, would result IN the
overthrow Of slavery and the consequent fOun-
dation of more perfect aud glorious Union,
without the incubus Of slavery, therefore
Resolved That we invite free correspon-
dence with The disunioniSts of the South, in
order to devise the most suitable way and
means to secure the coDsummation so devoutly
to be wished"
Nobody believes, says the Boston Cou-
rier, that the Abolitionists have changed
hairs breadth in their principles or
purposes since these resolutions were
passed. Even within year, one OF them,
Conway, has proposed to treat with
rebel in the name Of the Abolitionists Of
the North. The radical programme of
conquest instead of reunion, is the Abo-
hton plan, the plan of avowed, glorying
treason. Yet, men inAS4S, or in 1859,
who were filled with horror and patriotic
anger at such avowals as the above, now
weakly aid or tacitly connive at their
realization as governmental policy! Ev-
identity the Administration has corrupted
or intimidated the American people.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-03-19

COrLMENrARY.-The San Francisco
Journal, an intensely loyal paper, i'm
plores its friends in the Legislature, for
the good of the " Union" party, to reject
the brides of the lobbyists. 1t indirectly
admits that they are not above being
bribed.
