TIE SECOND LINE OF Battle.

1t is well understood that those with whom
we have more especially co0perated in the re-
cent political subdivisions of our State were
not in q majority at our late Republican State
Convention, though they seemed and supposed
themselves so when that Convention assembled.
Some of them, we hear with regret, have since
acted as though sOured or disafiected by their
disappointment; others would like themselves
to run the machine in the canvass now approach
ing its conclusion.
We regard the former impulse as wrong, and
the latter as grievOusly mistaken. If we who
are improperly styled "Fenton men" had been
placed in the lead, should we not have expected
the other folks Loyalty to follow and supporti
Should we not have chosen to make the
local nominations wherefrOm the State ticket
must largely profit or suffer9
A very large majority of those who triumphed
at Saratoga plainly and earnestly desire the
Endorsement of the anti-Tammany Demo-
| cratic County ticket in our City. Ought not
their choice to be decisivef Theirs is the
! laboring oar theirs the graver responsibility.
Even if we assume their choice mistaken, and
hence likely to result in disaster, ought we to
enable them to say, "We should have sue
ceeded, but your hostility ruined every
thing n Should they not be accorded the
| longest possible tether
| We are speaking to those "FentOn men
| (so-called) who do not Gas we do) regard the
policy commended by our State Committee as
intrinsically wise. Can they afford to incur
the reproach of having clouded brilliant
prospect by factions perverseness Do they
want it believed in other States that New
| York was lost by their culpable infidelity or
their blind folly
"When two ride a horse" justly observes
the sagacious DOgberry, zone must ride be-
"hind" Yea, verify, he must. Should he not,
then, keep his hands off the reins2 He can't
see well through the chap before him unless
that person be moro transparent than most
politicians his position is not favorable for
guiding the steed beneath: Then why not jog
on in the natural mannerY
For our own part it seems the clear dictate
alike of justice and policy that those who
made the State Ticket should indicate and de-
termine the means whereby its election is to
be secured. If this rule be not generally
recognized, it surely ought to be.
Let us not only do our utmost personally
for our State Ticket; let u.s. moreover, give
the lead to those who nominated it and allow
them to show us the way to victory. Such is the
course that at once gives the fairest promise
of success, avoids collisions, and fixes respOn-
sibility where it properly belongs.

VAR TOPICS.

1t il impossible to say which arm of the
Prussian military service-the infantry, caval-
~, OF artillery-is most effective. Each of them
ba carried on its special work since the be-
ginning of the war in such a way as almost
to raise it above criticism. The steadiness,
endurance, and determination Of the infantry
the vivacity and dash of the cavalry,
whether engaged in special service, or as a CO.
operative force-the energy, skill, and scien-
tifc ability displayed by the artillery and en-
gineer officers-all indicate the superb organ
ization and discipline of the Prussian army, as
we'll as the high character of its material.
There is none of the military establishments
of Europe that has record like that which the
Prussian army has made for itself in the wars
of 1866 and 1870.
The accounts that have reached us of the
destruction wrought upon Strasbourg by the
fire of the German artillery may well raise the
apprehensions of the Parisians The thick
stone walls of the houses and public buildings
of Strasbourg were battered into chaos, and
the artillery was directed with such precision
that hardly point aimed at was ever missed.
The Germans are preparing to open a fearful
fire upon Paris, from guns of great range,
throwing enormous projectiles. solid and ex-
plosive. Who can tell how Paris will be trans
formed by bombardment like that of Stras-
bourg, but from ten times as many guns
In the formal protest issued in the name
of the Pope against the occupation of Rome
by the Italian troops, Cardinal AntOneli says
that the "supreme head of the Catholic Church
"will in future be placed in such circumstances
4" that he viii no longer be able to exercise his
spiritual authority with that full liberty and
"entire independence which are indispensable
"to him." We should suppose that language
of this kind must necessarily indicate the in
tention of the Pope to abandon Rome; for he
cannot remain at place where his independ-
ence or authority is curtailed. There is very
little doubt that the Italian Government antici
pated the exit of His Holiness when Gen. Ca
donna entered Rome.

he states, replies from ten thousand Prussians

all Paris with epistles His friend and

each other and pish and pash with letter and

bing over the dying patient, and compound

Swinburnc has now made bouquet and pre-

intention, its proportions are vast; but when

however, TO its moral character, Mr.. Swim

he accuses it Of murderous proclivities-

to learn further on that this Brow itself is

afterward poisoned and dissolved into fumc

There are other abnormal curiosities in this
remarkable pOem--iron shafts that discharge
waves, forts with blood foundations, seals
that can tether cattle, &c, &c What con-
nectiOn the whole matter has with France we
hope TO hear explained when NJ. hugo lui-
inmates his inevitable letter of thanks. There
are, we are happy to say, but few references
TO the peculiarly rank class Of subjects which
Mr.. Swinburne usually delights to glOat over
in detail, and which are ordinarily supposed
to pertain especially to Sairey Camps and
Betsey Prig's profession, although those ladies'
are decent enough to shut the doors when
they discuss them. Mr.. Swinburne has proDa-
bly, taken a late hint from them.
1t is curious to note how little genuine poe
try ever grows out of any war. The few true
utterances which remain after our own con-
test are singularly disproportioned to the vast
questions and terrible passions involved. The
noble thoughts astir among men seem then TO
find voice in deeds, and there are none left to
spare for the song-mongers. Consequently we
have to content ourselves with such trumpet
blasts as this, deafenng us with sound and
fury, but assuredly signifying nothing.

As was expected and hoped, the Chinese
Government has been prompt to punish the
miscreants who lately assassinated the French
officials and residents at Tien-Tsn, and has
also offered indemnifcatiOn to France. Two
Mandarins and fifteen of the most active OF
the mob have been beheaded,-a very poor
satisfaction to France, perhaps, and certainly
little calculated, if Chinese human nature pos
sesses, as we suspect, the stubbornness found
in other races, to prevent mobs OF the same
kind in the future. An Embassy is to be dis
patched to France with power to satisfy
French demands and make the reparation
complete. Poor France has now as much as
she can well attend to at home, so that un-
less England, ever eager to interfere In East
ern matters, shall prevail on her to be unrea-
sonable, there is little danger of war IN
China. In the mean time, the prompt action
of the Chinese Government in furnishing those
guilty of the outrages ut Tien-Tsin will be
accepted as an assurance of its wish to main
tain friendly relations with the rest OF the
world. The facts show cOnclusively that the
riot was tho consequence of no intrigue on
the part of the Government, which cannot be
Justly held responsible for the misdeeds per-
petrated. An idea has prevailed that COM
merce with China would materially suffer
from this unfortunate affair The announce
ment of the action of the Chinese Govern
ment ought to dispel this fear.

QUESTIONS EOR TIE MAYOR.

Did not Mayor Hall tamper with the truth
when he asserted, in his incendiary and Illegal
proclamation closing all places of registry on
Wednesday, that question of the legality OF
such registration had been raised las part
"of manifest attempt of the Federal Gov
"ernment to throw every obstacle in the way
I" of free registry, and to obstruct natural
"ized citizens in their vOtes9" Was not the
ouestion put to him on Tuesday by Judge
BOswOrth President of the Board OF P0ice,
and did he not know, when he penned that
proclamation, that Democrats had raised the
donbt and that it was his own meddling with
the Districts to get rid of the census contrasts,
and not any action or threatened action OF
any Federal official, which had nullified the law
concerning two days registration this week.
How does he wish us to rate an official who
by his partisan zeal depriyes the people OF an
opportunity to register, and then insults their
intelligence by laying the blame on othersf
Can he condOne for his ollense against the
peace of this city in begging the citizens
"under no provocatiOn to suffer themselves at
"any time to be invited into disturbance or
"breach of the peace" by naming any Federal
official who in any way gave such invltatlonf
Let the Mayor answer or not, as he chooses.
The people understand that he is maddened
at finding the occupation of the repeater gone
because of the law of Congress, and are not
disposed to hold him to a strict accountability
for his rawlings.

But we cite the above only to make palmer
the fact that they willfully lie who assert that
the Union ranks were mainly filed with Demo-
Gratis. Our National Asylums are necessarily
filed with poor men, but good soldiers-none oil

wise, but corporals and privates, who marched
and dug and shot for sixteen dollars per month

officers of Union volunteers, who both voted
for Lincoln as Republicans, and both say they
have not changed since. Yet Lew. CampbelPs
Democratic Committee know that, if the limp
ing veterans are allowed to vote, it is all up
with their "pony"-he is beaten by hundreds
to dead certainty; and they prepare to re-
sist by every means this audacious violation
"of law" Would they have done this if they
had not known that tho soldiers were against
themi Can they longer pretend that the rank
and file are with themf

Another defalcation by bank teller was re-
ported upon Wall-st. yesterday and, although
the case was merely one of suspension, there
is a rather widespread feeling that these
affairs are becoming epidemic Fast living and
reckless stock operations are generally the
rause Of these defalcations. Clearly the bank
ers who suffer from them are themselves
largely to blame for their frequent occurrence.
Very rarely, indeed, is the defaulter punished
A. much Of the money as possible is recovered,
and then the affair is hushed up. Examples
should be made of the defaulters, and employ
ers owe it to the business community TO deal
