A GRAND AND TERRIBLE SCENE.--It is said that
only one person il sand to have had full view of the
Northern Railroad accident at Canaan, N. H. That
individual was a laborer at work in field adjoining
the scene OF the calamity. He heard both trains
coming, and foresaw from their speed what would
be the result. Waving his hat ne ran with all pos
sible haste toward tue track. When within a few
rods OF the road the collision occurred, and the
scene is reported to have been grand and terrible
The engines were long ones and were OF very uni

ANOTHER RAILWAY ACROSS TIE CoNrI-
NENT.-The Canadians are jubilant. They
profess to have received information that the
imperial government is willing to guarantee
loan for the construction Of railway from
Montreal to British Columbia. John Bull eyl.
dently is desirous of securing the trade of
China and Japan, which is now finding it's
way over our Pacific railroads but the old
gentleman is mistaken in his means Of attain
ing his object. A railway through the will
derness OF British America, with little or no
local traffic, and subject to detentions half the
year by snow and storms, cannot compete with
lines already established and operated profit
ably. The Canada Pacific Railway is an ex-
cellent subject for speculation, but its speedy
completion is very doubtful, even with the
advantage of loan guaranteed BY the impe-
rial government.

Movements Of The Forces.

Two highly significant points appear in our
cable reports to-day First there is very
decided evidence of activity on the Franco
Prussian frontier, with q result not satisfac-
tory to the Prussians. The Prussian force Is
reported as having been withdrawn from all
the country between Luxemburg and the
palatinate, and as forming its line of defence
helm BY the occupation of line so far
removed from the frontier the Prussians leave
open TO the French the whole of their territory
west OF the Rhine, half of so-caled Rhenish
Prussia. three-quarters of Rhenish Bavaria
and good slice Of Hesse-Darmstadt The
abandonment Of so much country indicates
pretty clearly the present unreadincss of the
Prussian army. The frontier line, with it's
right on Treves and it's left On the Rhine, near
Carlsruhe, was long and feeble, and against
the active, resolute, veteran army Of France
could only be held by an overwhelming
force of such troops as the Prussians
have now on hand. To reliuquish it was.
therefore, necessity, and this very necessity
gives point to the French demand of the Rhine
as natural frontier. 1t is found to be the
first line at which Prussia can fight. The
declaration in regard to the. Baltic is worthy
OF special note France warns the world that
she regards that as her enemy's weak point,
and that she means TO strike him there, and
will regard any attempt to head her of in that
purpose as an act OF war in favor of Prussia.
II is not improbable that France, following up
Prussia to the Rhine, may occupy all the
territory to the west of that river, and, simply
holding on there, strike in the Baltic.

Our Naval Movements.

The Rip Van Wrinkle policy to which
Congress would seem to have wished to confine
the Secretary of the Navy meets with no favor
in the navy itself. Fully awake to the exigen-
cies, immediate and prospective of the war
between France and Prussia, the Navy Depart
ment has issued orders which have already
impaired unwonted activity to all our naval
available ship is to be put in condition for
service with all possible haste. Two ships are
now ready for sea, and additional inducements
are offered to recruits. The Guard, under
command of Lieutenant Commander Lull, and
the Nipsic, under command of Lieutenant
Commander Wilson, are ordered to proceed at
once to the fishing banks to aid in guarding
the interests of American fisheries. 1t will be
an agreeable change for the officers of these
two vessels after their recent prolonged
they were engaged in the Darien expedition.
At Boston large additional number of
mechanics have been set 10 work on half
dozen ships. At Portsmouth, also, fresh
hands have been employed, and the corvette
California, twenty-one guns, and the Narra-
ganset, six guns, will soon be ready for sea.
At all our other navy yards similar revival
of activity is witnessed. 1t has been deter
mined to increase at once our European
squadron, and generally to put the navy as
speedily as possible in the best condition that
inadequate appropriations will allow. The
American people cannot fail to condemn the
wretched economy and the unstatesmanlike
legislation of Congress in weakening instead of
strengthening our navy, and the determination
of the Navy Department to do all that can be
protect American commerce and maintain the
glory of our national flag will be universally
applauded.

The Fuucrni of Nj. Pnrudol.

Yesterday was day Of gloom and sorrow
in Washington. such as is seldom known at
the capital. The tragic death Of NJ. Parado,
the French Minister, had cast q shadow over
the city which was not yet dispelled, and the
funeral ceremonies yesterday were correspond
ingly solemn and impressive; indeed few
similar occasions appear to have had such a
marked effect upon the public mind. The entire
foreign diplomatic corps, including the Prussian
Minister, as also majority Of President
Grants Cabinet and several of the most
distinguished representatives Of the army and
navy, were present to pay their last sad tribute
of respect to the memory of the deceased
AT first it was feared that the rites OF
the Roman Catholic Church would not be
held over the remains because of NJ.
Paradol's having taken his own life but his
insanity was so well established that this
objection was overruled, and the body was
taken TO st. Matthew's church, where requiem
masses were offered and an ELOQUENT sermon

Enforcement of Oar Claims Against yeBe-
Zuelu.

From present appearances II looks very
much as if our government was about to take
definite action in regard to our claims against
the republic Of Venezuela. II such should
prove to be the case the sooner the step is
taken The better We have been too patient
with these yenezuelans all along, and our
patience has been misiuterpreted and re-
garded as weakness. These claims have been
of long years standing, and yet no attention
has been bestowed on them, though repeated
efforts have been made by the United States
government to have them amicably adjusted.
No other government would permit itself to be
treated as this government has, and in proof of
this we see that the custom duties in certain
Venezuelan ports are even now devoted to the
German citizens Ia order, however, to
arrive at this. both the French and Prussian
governments fonnd it necessary to make a
demonstration such as would convince the
government Of Venezuela that the citizens of
these two countries should have their rights,
even it force had to be employed to enforce
them. This is just exactly what the United
States should have done years ago. II is
altogether wrong to permit our citizens
abroad to be imposed upon. Our policy in
this respect has been weak and timid in the
extreme. We trust the government has
become alive to the importance of decisive
action, and that even the republic Of Vene-
zuela will be made to understand that while
we sympathize with her in her present
troubles we cannot permit our citizens to be
imposed upon with impunity.
The New York herald., 1870-07-23

Most Insoent n the Report be Correct.
1t is said that the French ultimatum to
Prussia was as follows -
First-That the Berlin government should
pledge itself that no German should ever
ascend the Spanish throne.
iSecond-That as guarantee Of this pledge
Hohenzollern Prince should reside perma-
nently in Paris.
TO this latter two alternatives were
attached-the one, that money should be
deposited in France, to be forfeited if the
pledge was broken; the other, that the
Rhenish province of Prussia should be handed
over to French keeping until the death of the
last of the house of Hohenzollern-S -Sigmaringen.
If this report be not true it is one of tho
widest jokes ever perpetrated, certainly the
widest ever sent across the Atlantic wires.
If it be true it is the most insolent piece of
conduct in history. No man, If he were a
man, would endure such an insult from
another. The man who could stand it would
be coward and knave. But this demand IS
reported to have been addressed to the govern
ment of great natiOn-of a proud, high
spirited people. Can we wonder that Prussia
has acted as she has done ? Can we wonder
that Germany everywhere feels the insult ?
What nation could bear it? Could we
Could the great American people? Where is
the government on the face of the earth that
dares speak so to us? Surely it cannot be
true. If it be true France has most unques-
tionably forfeited the sympathy Of mankind.
