MONDAY, JUNE IL, 1866.
soldiers in Foreign ssrvice.

Ar the commencement of our war; we, eagerly
hailed the accession of any foreigners who had,
. by experience, become adopts in the art of war.
Five years ago we were the least military nation
on the earth. We had no soldiers no generals,
no munitions. To-day, however we appear in
different character. Our people are all warriors,
and every county can boast of officers capable
of leading armies with skill and on to victory.
Europe was at peace and we at war, then we
demanded and Europe furnished-then we
looked to her for leaders andshe looked on us as
raw recruits. The events of the last year have
changed our relative positions. To-day Europe
is on the eve of war, and we have achieved
permanent peace. To-day she is looking to
us for soldiers, and calling on us to furnish
leaders wa --
We are not, therefore, surprised to find that,
without display or ostentation, a large number
of our field officers are preparing to enlist in the
ranks of some of the monarchs of Europe. The
love Of military adventure, engendered by years
of hardship and daring, has become deep
seated necessity of enjoyment. Our soldiers,
while many of them are glad to Get back once
more 10 the quiet and comfort of home lite,
have also among them thousands TO whom civil
pleasures are insipid, and who wish to ssek in
not find here. Hence, among them we find
many who are not only talking, but actually
preparing to enlist in European armies. This is
particularly true in the case of the Germans
They have shown their bravery on many battle
fields; they have acquired familiarity with dan
ger and skill in war, not in theory but in prac-
tice; and now when their services are needed
at home, we will not be surprised if many OF
them return. We understand that General
ULLMAN, who commanded a large body OF negro
troops in Mississippi, has already accepted a
commission from GARIBALDI. To Italy will the
greater number of volunteers flock, as she is
the most republican; and as GARIBALDI offered
to come and aid us, so now will we offer to go
and assist him. The negro troops, we are Gre
dibly informed are particularly desirous of
engaging, thus dsproving all the slanders on
their courage.
The treatment such volunteers will receive
will be such as is extended to welcome allies
and not mercenaries. The manner in which
European powers welcome foreign body-guards
is we'll known. The Scottish guard of LOUIS XI
will be but precedent on which our modern
monarchs will act, and American volunteers will
be hailed as the feted favorites of European
kings. 1t will be curious if such new clement
in Europe does not introduce spirit of republi-
canism as dangerous to the system as favorable
to the temporary success of the Governments.
From this little leaven we may soon expect to
see the whole mass leavened.

THH DEATH or CAPTAIN MENrER.

The following is detailed account of the
struggle between Captain Menter, of the famous
brass band in Cincinnati, and a burglar which
resulted in the death OF the former, on Wednes-

Lipman's Circus, IN Cincinnati, where the band
play, found burglar in their house.
The fellow had entered through the kitchen
and was Just starting to go up stairs. He had
on q pair of slippers. and his boots were slung
over his shoulders. Captain Menter and his sou
Immediately seized the villain, when desperate
struggle ensued. The burglar, being a very
powerfully built man. handled his two assail-
ants pretty roughly at first, but they finally
after struggling over the floor out into porch,
got him down. and Captain Menter was bend
ing over him, when the fellow managed to
draw Lis revolver and discharge one load, the
contents taking effect in Captain Menter's
bowels producing mortal wound.
A moment after tue burglar fred young
Edgar Menter wrenched the pistol from his
hand, and shot him in the right hip; then,
throwing oown the weapon, and drawing his
knife, he cut him some fifteen or eighteen
times, finally breaking the blade Off in his
breast. The report of the firing, and the
noise produced by the struggle, together with
the screams OF Captain Menter's family, who
were in an upper room, aroused MI. Ross,
and several other persons living in the imme
diate neigh borhood, who rushed in and assisted
in securing the burglar.
He gives his name a. W. B. Watson, and says
he came to Cincinnati from st. Louis. He is u
native Of New York, but was living in Missouri
when the late Rebellion broke out. He enlisted
in the 4th Missouri Infantry and served during
the war. A bunch OF small keys, two Confede
rate bills, and a counterfeit postal note were
found in his possession. He is now lying in

Is There Such a Thing as Crime9

A Boston writer in the course of the controversy
on the case OF GREEN the Malden murderer, had the
courage or hardbood to vnllcate and eulogIze ven-
geance as a moral attr butte, There Is no doubt
whatever that lhe scai0 orlglnaiy sprahg from
brutal impatience when they could find no curs for
moral invalid, went to work and killed him. The
scaffO.d is symbol of the cruelty and quackerY OF
the past The time il coming when 1t will be deemed
as cruel to kill men for crime mental disease as
10 kill them for pain or physical dsease.-Rel0
York Tribune.
We think the Tribune writer evinces more
''hardihood" than did the Boston writer. If
crime be merely ''mental disease" lohy punish ii
nt all? Who would think of imprisoning man for
being sick? According to the Iribune'S theory
there is no such thing, properly speaking, as
crirne-what we call 'crime" being merely mans
misfortune. A thief, robber, murderer, is
no more to blame for being so than he is for
having the measles or a fever; no more guilty
than the tiger is for loving blood, or than water
q is for running down hill.
The essence of the Tribune'S theory is pure
materialism. There is no such thing as proper
personally in man. He is a mere link in natures
chain of causes and effects. His sins and crimes
are as truly part of nature as are his hands
and his feet. Such terms as Responsibility
'guilt,n "remorse," are without proper mean
ing. We might as we'll talk OF a mans being
yUHy Oh rheumatism OF Ihe palsy, as OIL ms
being guilty Of theft or murder He can no
more feel renaorse for bad deed than he can
for pain IN his big toe. He is no more respon.
sibIe for stealing his neighbours horse than he is
for having the headache. Crime is "mental
disease" and it is as "cruel" to punish mau
Tor it as it would be to punish him for pain or
physical disease"
We suspect that the time when such doctrine
as this will be generally entertained is very far
distant. Our only present wonder is that the
Tribune should have sent it forth with an edito-
rial endorsement.

SOUTHERN VIEWS OF THE FUTURE.-Tne Gin
cinnati Gazette, q paper reno wned for the au.
thenticity and correctness of its correspondence,
publishes the follow wing conversation between
its writer and well-known Southern officer.
He expresses the views OF his section with sin
gular clearness, and in these views will be found
doctrines worthy of the attention of thinking
men. If, as we cannot doubt, such principles are
prevalent in the South, we cannot but believe
that, if their holders are admitted to po wer, it
will bode some fierce convusion to the State:-
"Well," said the ex,Confederate al consider the
South as my county; and If we are ever recOncied
to the North, she will have to meet us as equals 1t
can be done in 10 other way"

PASSAGE OF THE LEAGUE ISLAND BILI."-The
publication in Fridays TELEGRAPH of an analysis
oil the votes of the Pennsy Ivania delegation on
the rejection of New London, and the selection
of League Island as the site for the new Navy
Yard, did unintenional injustice to the Hon.
JOHN NJ. BRooMALL, of Delaware county. The
name of Mr.. BROoMALL, by a typographical
error, was, in our contemporary from which we
made up the analysis placed in the stead of Mr..
BRooMwRLL of Illinois. We discovered the
error and intended that the paragraph should
have been omitted. Through another accident,
however, it slipped into our local column. We
are happy, however, to correct any false i'm
preston in regard to Mr. BRooMALL which such
a statement may have caused. He was absent
at Memphis, on an investigation committee,
when the ballot was reached, and had he been
present would have voted in favor of League
Island. He is a gentleman for whose public
career we have the highest respect, and is the
the last man to whom we would do injustice.
In regard TO those we stated were absent and
asked the cause, Messrs .STRoUsE, JOHNSON DEM
SON, and MILLER, we have received information.
Mr.. sTRoUsE was paired with Mr.. wAsHBURNE,
of Massachusetts; Mr. JOHNSON with Mr.. DIXON
of Rhode Island; Mr.. MILLER with Mr.. PERHAM
OF Maine; and Mr.. STEVENS with Mr.. RAYMOND,
of New York; while Mr.. DENIsoN was confined
to his bed by indisposition. General KooNTz
who was stated to have been absent has not vet
secured the seat he is entitled to, hence his
name was enormously placed among the ab
sentees. The vote properly stood:-
AYEs-None. r
NAYs-Messrs. Ancond, Barker Bo,Iei OQffoh
Ddacson Glossbrenner, Kelley, Lawrence, Mer.
cur, Moorhead, Myers, O'NeIl, Randall, Scofeld,

The Democratic Politicians versus The
Common Sense OF the People.

Common Sense OF the People.
THE great mistake that our Democratic poll
ticians make is in undertaking the intelligence
Of the masses. They seem to suppose that the
action of the American people can be shaped
and controlled by mere techncalities They
overlook the fact that great m asses of men act
primarily in view of their real or supposed in
terests. Thus, when the Rebellion was in its
incipient stages, the Democrats undertook to
shape the policy of the country on the techni-
cality that the Constitution gave no powerto the
general Government to coerce State. But the
common sense OF the people at once saw that this
doctrine, fcarred out, would result in the disrup.
tlon of the nation; and, accordingly, the people
replied, that the great law of self-preservation
was at the bottom of every National Constitu-
tion, and had no need to be expressed in words.
Common sense saved the country
AS the war progressed and the question of
emanoipating the slaves came up, the Demo
Gratis again made technical issue against the
plain dictates of public necessity and justice.

q CURIOUS TR1AL-A curious trial has just
taken place in Berlin. On the occasion Of the
baptism of Prince Frederick Charles son, then
five weeks old, the kreuz Zeitung publishes
an article relating to the part which each per-

seized; the tribunal admitted the plea of the
Public Minister against the liberal newspaper

that doctors should be summoned to attend and
decide that an infant of five weeks DID, al
though Prince could be considered as q

duct" The tribunal finally pronounced an
