THE EUROPEAN WAR.

When the war in Europe began,
last July, the sympathy Of intelligent and
rejecting persons throughout the civilized
world was, undoubtedly, drawn toward
Prussia. Even among liberal Frenchnen
themselves it was difficult to find an
apologist for the indecent haste with
which Napoleon plunged into the war, or
for the tiimsy pretext with which he at
tempted to impose on the common sense
Of his countrymen and of the world. It
was plain that his pretenses were as
fraudulent as his motives were selfish,
and that he acted, not for the interests
of Europe, not even for the interests of
France, but solely for his own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. He broke the peace of
Europe, he disturbed the commerce and
industry of the world, he seternies in mo-
ton from the Nistula to the Ebro, simply
in order to stife the growing murmurs of
public opinion ; to save the remnant Of q
personal government which the country
had condemned; and to preserve a de-
cadent system abhorrent to the enlight-
ened tendencies of the age.
If there could be anything more wicked
than the indecent haste with which he
plunged his country into o causeless war,
it is his attempt to fasten the response
bility Of the act upon a people whom for
nearly twenty years he had deprived of
personal and political liberty. His asser-
ton that public opinion forced him into
the war is shown to be false by the reve-
lations of the official correspondence found
at the Tuileries, from which it appears
that one hundred and ninety-three pre-
fects had replied unfavorably to the inter-
rogatories of the government as to the feel
ing of the people in relation to the con-
templated WAL. The inference that the
French people were opposed to the war is
not only reasonable, but irresistible; since
it is an inference based upon Ii the facts
made public at the time, as well as
upon the positive testimony afterward
brought to light. The eager precipitancy
with which the favorites and instruments
rushed to do his bidding when war was
declared, cannot be set off against the
interests of the country, the dictates of
common sense, the needs and demands of
commerce and industry, and the calm
utterances and enlightened protests OF
those leaders of public opinion who were
subsequently placed at the head OF
affairs.
1t is true enoug that, according to the
rigid Interpretation Of international Law,
the French people are responsible to for
eign nations for the acts of their govern
ment, but the moral sense of the civilized
world will separate the two, and require
OF Prussia some respect for acknowledged
facts, and some recognition Of the con-
spicuous distinction between the wishes

NEW ORLEANS NEEDS CAPITA.

Some Of our contemporaries Of the city
ere urging the increase Of banking facili-
ties here, on the ground that there is not
sufficient capital to meet the demands OF
our business and commercial population.
It is not known accurately, Or even ap-
proxinlately, how much moneyed capital
there is here, except such as appears from
the bank statements which appear from
the State Treasury Department; but it is
certainly very evident that there is q lack
of this commodity which gives life and
animation TO all the departments Of trade.
Several banking institutions have been
organized here within the past two years,
with considerable capital, and Yet the cry
is for more.
There are yet several millions more Of
the quota set off to this State by the
Treasury Department in Washington to
be taken up, and the question remains
who will step in and occupy the ground.
There are many men Of money with means
at their command who would come here
to give our community the benefit Of
their capital, We're it not that there seems
to be spirit Of jealousy and opposition
to such class OF men, especially if they
are of Northern lineage and edu cation.
1t is q well known fact that there is
now in New York and Boston millions of
uninvested money which the owners
would gladly bring here, or to any other
point in the South, were it not that they
hear so much about the disposition Of a
large proportion Of the population to pur-
sue that dog-in-the-manger policy which
prevents such contamination, so much to
be desired. If We could only induce
these capitalists to come among us with
their means and influence there would be
no necessity of sending our bonds, State,
levee and municipal, to q Northern city
for market, and there sold at deprecated
rate.
Our internal improvement system is be-
ing rapidly developed, and with the en-
lightened policy Of our Republican State
government, will and must be kept mp
until our State shall reap the advantages
of q system that must give us prosper
GUS and wealthy State, with a full treas
ury, ample resources to promptly
meet every legitimate liability at one
hundred cents on the dollar. and her
bonds above par, as some of our sister
States now do.
To do this we want to build up great
commercial cities, such as Cincinnati,
Chicago and ST. Louis, where capital, IN
taxed and untrammeled, will come in the
natural course Of events. Where We have
but one city in our State of any note Or
distinction, other States III the North
count their greater and lesser cities by
the score, to which labor and capital is
constantly adding to their wealth and
population. Here, instead Of exercising
and bringing to bear upon these two great
means Of commercial strength and pros
perity those centripetal forces which other
communities adopt to invite and attract,
our people use every centrifugal power
within their means to drive and keep them
away.
Let US all then set to work with a

the censurable conduct of the French Inn
perial government. At the commence
ment of the war the sympathy of liberal
persons was attracted toward Prussia not
only because Prussia had been forced into
IN unnecessary war, but because the war
was begun by man who was justly re-
garded as the enemy Of public liberty
a man who sought only to forward his
own ambitious purposes and fasten upon
the French people system which they
seemed about TO condemn and reject.
The King Of Prussia, although be
could not be expected to look with dis
favor upon the despotic tendencies OF the
empire, at least recognized that his real
enemy was not the French people, but the
French Emperor. No one SAW more
clearly than he the true motives by which
Napoleon was influenced, and no one was
more fully convinced that the struggle
was dynastic, and not q national war.
His first proclanoations were taken by the
world as the proof of this conviction; and
neutral powers had q right to suppose that
when the empire should be overthrown,
Prussia would deal gently and generously
with the people, who had been victims
alike of imperial tyranny and imperial
incompetency. When Marshal McMahon $
army was destroyed and the Emperor was
captured, the war ought to have ceased.
There was no reason to continue it except
such reason could be found in the refusal
of France to concede just pecunlary in
demnity to Germany, or in the determina-
ton of Prussia to convert war
of defense into war Of conquest. 1t
must be admitted that so far the continu-
ance of the war seems to depend on the
latter alternative. 1t has been openly
ayowed that nothing but French territory
will satisfy Prussia, and the certainty that
no such condition would be accepted by a
proud and sensitive people like the
French gives color to the suspicion that
hostility to the republic is quite as strong
a motive with the Prussian court, as de-
sire for peace. The persistent refusal Of
Bismarck to treat with the French author
tiles, except on impossible conditions, the
contemptuous expressions with which he
has assailed the French Democracy, and
his declaration that public law compels
him still to recognize the empire as the
legitimate government of France, all in
dictate spirit OF bitter animosity to the
republic. 1t is TO this, even more,
perhaps, than G natural sympathy
with brave but beaten people
that the evident change in public opinion
throughout the world is owing-the pub
lie opinion, We mean, Of that liberal party
which owns as its distinguished represent
atiyes such men as Mill and Favre, and
Jacoby and CASTELAR,. and which is torti-
fed by the working classes Of Europe
and America. If the establishment Of re-
publican institutions in France, and after
France, in Germany itself, is to be
| achieved only by a change in the fortune
of war, the liberalists Of the world will
not regret it if Paris be saved and the
Pr1ssian armies be driven beyond the
Rhine
