Tho War Question in -Esrops.

At the moment we write the war question,
as between France and Prussia, is still I'M
settled. Prince Leopold, it appears, is no
longer q candidate for the Spanish throne.
But France is not satisfied because the Prus-
sian government has not clothed itself with
dust and ashes and humbly sued for forgive
ness. We have said again and again that
France has in this matter proved herself
altogether too sensitive. The only cause Of
offence was the apparently unexpected candi-
dature of Prince Leopold Of Hohenzollern.
From the commencement this affair has been
the affair of private individuals. Prim has
confessed that in Offering the crown to Prince
Leopold he acted on his own responsibility.
We have no evidence that Prince Leopold, in
accepting the crown, acted either with or
without the consent of the Prussian govern
ment. AS the Princes name is now with
drawn France clearly ought to be satisfied.
Prussia has committed no offence, and France
is simply intolerably arrogant in asking Prus-
sia to bind herself for the future in the matter
of the Spanish throne. If it be true-which
we doubt-that the Prussian government, has
given the French Minister his passports war
must result. In the absence Of good evidence
we must cling to the opinion that for the
present the trouble is over. We dare not
say, however, that the temper Of the two
peoples justifies us in concluding that a
pitched battle must not soon be fought.
Prussia is still calm. France is still feverous.
If France wants to fight Prussia will not play
the coward. Our faith in the good sense of
Napoleon bids us hope for continued peace.
A change of Ministry in France may help the
Emperor out Of his difficulty. The Duke de
Grammont ought to be cashiered at once.

The New French Minister. M. Provost
Paradol, who arrived in this city by
the steamer Lafayette on Wednesday last,
departed by the nine P. M. train OF the
same day for Washington. This looks like
business. We presume that this new Minister
has his instructions shaped to meet the con-
tingency of a European war, and that he will
seek a. once to establish friendly understand
ing OF neutrality between France and the
United States, whatever the proportions which
war in Europe may assume, and whatsoever
may be the European complications in this
threatened European convilsion. We sup
pose, too, that there will be no serious diff
Guilty in effecting such an understanding with
our government The occasion, however,
presents fine opportunity to General Grant
to submit the Monroe doctrine to France and
Spain as tho West India policy henceforth Of
the Uuited States, not in the simple ultimatum
of European non-interventlon in American
affairs, but Intervention in Cuba or Mexico,
for instance, on the part of the United States,
on the same grounds upon which France
undertook the experiment Of her late imperial
protectorate over the republic Of Mexico, the
broad grounds of humanity, civilization, com.
MERGE and the general interests Of the civilized
world. We think this hint might now be
given to France with perfect confidence in its
acceptance; for surely Napoleon could inter
pose no objection to our adoption in Cuba or
elsewhere OF his example of humanity and
law and order in Mexico. Moreover, If the
nomination of a German prince for the throne
of Spain is held as sufficient cause for war
on the part of France against Prussia, have
VIC not better justification for Intervention
in Cuba, in the fact that Spain has no business
in that island, being there against the wishes
and the interests Of the people, and being
arrayed against them in barbarous war of
determination? At all events, the Monroe
doctrine, in its broadcast application, should be
the basis of peace between us and France
and all the other belligerents in q European
contest; and In the event of war we should
give them to understand that our application
of ''belligerent ri ;hts" will be shaped first and
last in view OF the honor, dignity aud interests
of the United States.

nese.
The Republican State Central Committee Of
California have adopted resolution that the
bill of Representative Cake, Of Pennsylvania
(republican), in Congress against the importa-
ton of Chinese labor embodies the sentiments
of the republican party of California. For
the last two years the California democrats, in
their unqualified opposition to the Chinese,
against the republican policy of liberation,
have carried the State in every election. The
republicans, finding this losing game, have
adopted the anti Chinese bill of Mr.. Cake as
their platform. The Chinese in California,
however, sixty thousand or more in number,
are visible and palpable element of antago-
nism to the white population. 1t appears, too,
that these Aslatics in California;, and espe-
cially in San Francisco, are composed to q
very great extent Of the basest native mate
seaports and commercial cities, and that,
compared with these base Chinese, the vilest
dregs that come into New York from the vilest
holes of Europe are refined and attractive
people. The California Chinese, moreover,
are Objectionable as mere interlopers, who
come to make money to spend in China; and
30 peculiar is their attachment to the SACRED
soil" of the "Central Flowery Kingdom" that the
bones of the poorest Of them dying in Califor-
MIA are sent home to be buried for their souls
salvation. But all this does not settle this
Chinese labor question, and, whatever our
political parties may do with it, they will not
settle 1t. 1t will be settled under the laws OF
demand and supply, and the experiment o.
far only established the facts that this labor is
reliable, and that excepting California; the
demand for it is greater than the supply.

took place In 1878 Immediately after
that of Wyoming and by the same party
OF Indians and Tories under Brant and

Judges father, was away from home with
his commend in the army His family
were taken captive, the homestead was
burned, his aged mother, being unable to

years, that he forgot his native tongue
He was finally, after great exertinn. re

the resettlement of Cherry Valley, after
the war, returned to his home, and has
resided here ever since. ~
: When the war was over, General Wash

scene OF the last massacre. On his way
he was entertained at the house o. Col.
Campbell, where he met the survivors
of the bloody attack, among whom was
the little rescued prisoner, then about
twelve years old He manifested much
interest in the boy captive, conversing
freely with him about the curious expe-
rience he had gone through The old
man retained vivid remembrance of this
event, aud to the last month of his life

the war Of the rebellion closed, and Gen

ONE branch of of the Iowa Legislature has
passed bill to resume the land grant to
the Dubuque and Bellevue railroad. Similar
bills are pending to resume the Des Moines
Valley grant, the Tete des Morris grant, and
perhaps others. The disposition of Iowa
legislators has msnitestly undergone q very
radical change upon the subject of railway
grants within the last two or three years.
Inc local railroad debts which have crushed
the people In various localities under a load
which they can never shake off without state
aid, have created, at last, a heslthful pubIic
sentiment against the policy OF encum5ering
private property for the benefit of pyivate

not and will no. be paid By the unwis, neo-
pie who contracted them the state nu.t
assume their payment, or the bondholders
will, in spite of all the decisions the cour,s
can make, be compelled to suffer the loss
while the credit of the Municipalities tia,
issued them will sustain an irreparabIe
injury.

in Iowa will not open the eyes of the rail
road crazy inhabitants of Illinois. Nothing
in the future is more certain than that, if

experience of Iowa will be reproduced ii

returns of the field and general hospitals are

sumo that the total mortality of 1863 "a was
fully equal to that of 1862, then the total of
deaths in the Confederate army in lS6l65

According TO this calculation, the deaths
from disease were about three times as
numerous as those resulting from the casu
slties of battle.
The available Confederate force capable
of active service did not, during the entire

not more than 100000 were enrolled at any

Tar cable informs US that the great strike
OF the French working men at Creuzos is
over. There does not seem to be any suffi.
cieut reason for believing that the recent
strikes in France have been any definite
political purpose. 1t is true that they have
received aid and countenance from the
working men of other countries, but this
aid has been given-to the strikers, not az
opponents of the empire, but simply as
working men. Until within short time
strikes have been illegal in France and,
though under certain restrictions they are
now permitted, they are still characterized
BY something of the excitement and turbu.
lence which was feature of the English
strikes twenty-five years ago. The con
dition of the French working men
has always been one of hardship, with
hardly any hope of Amelioration, aud
they are how naturally taking advantage
OF the modification OF the law against
strikes by attempting to compel their EN-
ployers to treat them fairly. In time the
trades organization among French people
will doubtless have to manage their comb
nations with the order and efficiency which
are at the present day so characteristic Of
the English labor movements. The growth
OF the system of international labor leagues
which the English trades unions have
set on foot will also have its influence IN
giving energy aud effect to strikers among
European workmen. In the meantime, in
