surrounded, followed, and frequently stopped by an
Immense multitude, wild with emotion, shouting

with flags and festooned with flowers At the rail-

THE PRESS ON THE SITUATION.

CAUSE OF TIE DELAY IN MILITARY MOVE
MENTs-THE ALLEGED NFERIORIrY OF THE
CHASSEPOT-FEARS OF A FAMINE ON THE
FRONTIER.
LONDON, Tuesday, Aug. 2, 1870.
The Times this morning has a long editorial on the
prospect. The writer thinks the delay IN military
movements on both sides is to be ascribed to the de-
moralization of the troops from having been moved
by rail The French were also delayed on account Of
the hesitation of the South German States, and are
now necessarily confined to the narrow ground Of
The Saar Valley in fact the entire preconceived
plan of the Emperor has been altered by unforeseen
circumstances of this sort and he has yet probably
TO form new one.
The TINES also argues that the arm Of the French,
the ChassepOt, OH account of the likelihood OF ITS
fouling speedily, will be found to be infinitely less
efficient than the needle gun, and the difference In
this respect win possibly be sufficient to govern the
result of the war.
The presence of the armies on the frontiers OF
France and the Rhcnish provinces of Prussia has
given rise TO serious apprehension of famine there.
The Opiaion rationale of Paris says in this cOnnec
ton that in order TO avoid impoverishDg the theater
of the war the Emperor draws his supplies from a
distance by railroad.
The Pal Mall Gazette estimates that the Prusslan
army or the frontier now musters 100000 men.
The Paris Figaro announces to-day, that the French
Government has refused permission to Lieut.-Gen.
2. H. Sheridan, to accompany the French army.

LONDON, Tuesday, Aug ., 1870.
II isreported here that Russia Indignantly repu-
dates the design with which she has been charged,
OF taking advantage of the war in Europe to invade
the Danubian Prncipalities.
The Opinioae Of Florence says England, though she
remains neutral declines to enter into engagements
with other Powers for thepreservation of neutrality
The statement in the NdziORe yesterday that Eng
land had joined Italy and Austria in alliance Of
neutrality, was premature.
Vienna dispatch states that the Austrian Govern
ment is concentrating army 100000 men to watch
the Bohemian frontier.
1t is said that there is entire harmony between
Denmark and Sweden in the matter of the Franco

NO WAR NEWS IN TIE LONDON PAPERS YEsTER-
DAY-CAUSE OF THE PRUSSIAN DELAY.
LONDON, Tuesday, Aug. O. 1870.
The war news this morning in this city is meager
and unimportant, the London journals appearing
without a word from the rival armies on the Rhine.
Adyices received since from the Prussian head
quarters report that scouting parties and skirisheTs
from both armies were continually making raids
into the enemys territory but it was believed this
was more to accustom the troops to the sight and
fire Of the enemy than for any other purpose.
The impression prevails here that the arrival of
the French fleet in the Baltic Sea alone prevented
the Prussian advance through France to Paris.

THE CONVENTION REC0SsIDEks
FRS ACTION ON THE ELECTION
OP CLERK AND MASTER.

The Constitutional Convention, not .
great many days ago, passed an ord'n-
ancs making the ofics Of Clerk and
Master elective by the people. Do last
Saturday these same delegates recon-
sidersd their former action, aud decreed
that the law should stand as It Is now 10
the old Constitution, which leaves the
Office subject TO the appointment OF the
Chancellor. This is some~hat sad Tor
those who have announced them
selves for the position, relying upon
their popularity With the people to OBJ
tain it. It will compel these, if they seek
further to direct their energies and eff
forts in another direction, to contract
the field of their operation from the
body of the county TO the indlvidusi
who is most prominent as Chancellor.
Herein we favored and advocated the
election of these officers by the people, as
it was throwing too much patronage IN
the hands Of judges to allow them the
amendment of 80 important an official
as the Clerks and Masters of Chsncery
Districts.
The Convention is generally composed
Of an old Aunt Massey set, who ought to,
so far as politics are concerned, be dead
and in their graves. They are in favor
of universal suffrage and against the ap-
pointment of Judges. The clerks OF
courts. who should by all means be
elected by the masses, they make, some
of them, subiec. TO the appointment OF
a single individual. No man on earth
could divine what is the general policy
pursued by the Convention err what 1t
aims ct. The people of the State will
have 90 opportunity Of discussing each
clause of this rev Constitution soon,

approval. Will the Convention dare rick
