GRANTS PROCLAMATIoN.- de-
spatches from Washington inform us
that President Grant has issued ncu-
trality proclamation. Well, it is some
consolation to know that our President
has ut last discovered that there arc bel
ligercnts somewhere, and that he could
cease smoking and talking horse long
enough to issue proclamation. Why
did he not wait until tho war in Europe
was finished? He might as we'll have
done so, for all the good his proclnma-
tion can do. He even thinks it is neces-
sary to state that fany American violates
the neutrality law in Europe, that Ame-
rican will not be protected by the United
States. This is simply superhuity on
the part of President Grant. We never
heard Of his administration having cou-
rage enough to protect any American on
foreign soil. No American ever thought
he would be protected even from insult
on foreign soil. or, if he did, General
GRATIS course since he became Presi-
dent must have driven the halluciuution
far out Of mind long ago. President
Grant has been summering at Long
Branch, and, for the sake Of the nation,
we hope he will now conclude to winter
there also.

HE WAR TELEGRAMS FROM EUROPE
There is no doubt that much scrutiny
has to be exercised in reading the TO-
reign advices, coming as they do through
different sources, all more or less tine
tured by national or partisan sympathies.
Many improbable things are thus sent
the long and costly distance over the
ocean, and among them has been more
than once reports, without an apparent
effort to get at the truth, Of the death of
the Emperor Napoleon. He may be i'm
perially defunct, but not corporeally as
yet There is an abundance of stirring
events to communicate without the send
ing of suoh loose statements in regard to
SO important c. matter.
Then, too, after all the stories which
we have received about the flight of the
Empress, it turns out that she is still in
Paris, busily occupied in making prepa-
rations for the succor of the wounded.
She may be wisely making some provi-
sion for the future, however, by sending
some effects abroad. The Prince Impe-
rial appears to be still with his father,
who really keeps towards the front, whe-
ther i'll or not as reported. There are
many other matters which have been
quito as loosely dealt with. Many of the
statements of the London papers ore
mere assumptions also.

Pending the Congressional canvass, it
is very important that Democrats every
where shall heed the advice of our Con.
gressional Committee, and see that their
candidates are men to whose admission
to Congress. if elected, there can be no
obstacle. In determining this point re-
gard must be had not only to the four
teenth amendment, but also to the iron
clad test-oath. The fourteenth amend
ment contains the following:
SEC. 3. No person shall be Senator
or Representative to Congress, or elector
of President and Vice-President, or hold
any Office, civil or military, under the
United States or under any State, who,
having previously taken an oath, as u
member OF Congress, or as IN officer Of
the United States, or as a member of
any State Legislature, or Us an executive
or judicial officer of anyaState, to support
the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or re-
bellion against the same, or given aid
and comfort to the enemies thereof. But
Congress may, by vote of two-thirds
OF each House, remove such liability.
This excludes all citizens who, pre-
vious to the rebellion, had held any
Federal or. State Office which required
them to swear to support The Constitu-
ton; but it does not exclude anybody
for simple participation in the rebellion,
not even if he was an officer of the Con-
federato Government, or Il military officer
in it's service. Hence, some have i'll
ferred that such persons are not de-
barred from admission to Congress-
BY the fourteenth amendment, they
are not, certainly; but what is called the
iron-clnd test oath, which is inhcxibly
administered to the members, shuts out
quired by the Act of July 2, 1862, Which
is still in force, is in tho following
words:
1, a. B., TO solemnly swear Tor aflirm)
that have never voluntarily borne arms
against the United States since L have
been a citizen thereof; that have volnn-
tarilS given no aid, countenancc, council
or encouragement to persons engaged in
armed hostility thereto; that have nei-
ther sought nor accepted nor attempted
to exercise the functions of any office
whatever undcr any authority or pre-
tended authority In hostility to the
United States; that [ have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended 60
vernment, authority, power or constitu-
ton within the United States hostile or
ininical thereto. And do further swear

ledge and ability, [ will support and de-
fond the Constitution of the United
States against NIL enemies, foreign and
domestic; that will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that take this

Friday Morning. August 20, 1870.
The New French Position.

Friday Morning. August 20. 1870.
Tho New French Position
Marshal Bazaine, says the New York
World, has broken through his silence
so far as to telegraph to Paris official
news of victory over the Prussians in
battle delivered by him from the new
and formidable position which, as we
have already set forth, he has succeeded,
despite all the efforts of the Prince Ere
derrick Charles and Of Gen. von Stein
metz, in taking up. That it was vital
point with the Prussians to prevent the
French from establishing themselves on
the line of the Chiers, in full communi-
cation with Verdun on the one side and
Thionville on the other, is plain, not
only from the character of the country
us glance at any good geographical and
TYPOGRAPHICAL map reveals it, but from
the extraordinary efforts made by their
choicest troops under their best generals
to accomplish this purpose. We need
not wait for the tardy and terrible de-
tails OF these sanguinary days to be sure
that all that valor, science, aud lavish
disregard of human life could do to keep
the armies of France asunder was done
by the Prussian generals. But it can no
longer be doubted that all was done in
vain.
If the army of Marshal Bazaine is not
already in COMMUNICATION with the forces
established by Troohu at Cha!ons, and
with the corps of McMahon-which, ut
the latest accounts, had successfully
evaded the pursuit of the Grown Prince
the junction Of these armies can no
longer be prevented by the Prussians.
The victory won by the French at Mars
la-Tour, a village considerably to the
East and South Of Etain, must havo
pushed the armies of Won Steinmetz and
Prince Frederick Charles back close upon
the Alozelle.
Itis hardly too much to say that the
question whether the Prussians can main
tain themselves at all to the West of
their original line OF month ago de-
pends now upon the readiness or non
readiness for Immediate action of the
large body of French troops Mt Cha
Ions
This is certainly great change from
the position of affairs even less than q
week ago; and, if we are to roly on any
of the data we receive from Europe, it
must be conceded that Trochu and 3D.
zaine have already shown very great and
brilliant ability in their recovery of a
tremendously jeopardized campaign.
