TIE FRENCH SITUATION.

The latest dispatches represent the Prussian
army IA rapidly effecting concentration OF
an enormous force on the west and southwest
of Paris to cover the siege operations against
the city, and perhaps to give the finishing
blow to the army of the Loire, recently 30 Sc
verely rcpulsed by the Duke of Mecklenburg
This new army is to be composed of the troops
of Mantcufie, the Duke of Mecklenburg, and
Prince Frederick Charles, who are already
within supporting distance of each other. This
movement indicates that the capture of Paris
has been determined upon as the most i'm
portant and immediate object of the efforts of
the German army. The seizure of Tours and
the dispersion or capture OF the army OF the
Loire are regarded az secondary objects, which
may properly be deferred until this principal
one is accomplished.
We are warned from Tours and from The
World Office not to believe anything reported
by Renter OF the Prissian headquarters. Our
amiable contemporary contradicts King Will
lam's telegram of the 18th giving an
account of the Prussian victory Mt Dreux, on
the strength of letter written from YER
sailles on the 18th by gentleman with q
name of his own. The World rests its claim
to accuracy and enterprise on the fact of its
employing correspondents who are the pos
SCISSORS of patronymics, and who send news
entirely different from what is furnished The
TRIBUNE. Wo give it the benefit Of both
these claims, and freely admit that for vivid
ness and originality its dispatches are unrivaled,
and beyond the competition Of correspondents
who, like ours, are hampered and embarrassed
by orders to send nothing but the truth.

worthy of his hire but the apparent injustice
of which fhe teachers complain is due not so
much perhaps to the Board of Education as
to those social customs, laws, and restrictions,

slider their petition. and are sure that every
friend of education will rejoice if its request

A good many people are beginning TO ask
anxiously whether we are to have a new Post
Office in this city, and if so, whenf Tho work
on the foundation of the new building, and at
the Government barge dock Mt the Battery,
has been suspended for lack Of MEANS but
we learn from the architect, Mr.. Mullet, that
certain wealthy gentlemen have offered to
advance the necessary funds to complete the
building. trusting to an appropriation by Con-
gress for repayment Mr.. Boutwell, refuses
however, to borrow money without authority,
and is of opinion that if Congress wishes the
work to proceed it will make the necessary
appropriations. The increased accommodations
which the new building would afford are mr.
gently needed, and there cannot be any doubt
that, if the new Post-0flice is to be finished
at all. sound economy would suggest that the
work be pushed on rapidly and continuously.
Let us hope that when Congress meets, in De-
cember, the amount needed to complete the
building in the style in which it has been
begun will be promptly granted.

more curiously manifested In Austria. Hitherto
the Jealous feeling of independence prevalent
in Hungary has been sufficient to cause every
act of foreign policy emanatiRg from tho I'm
pcra Cabinet at Vienna TO be regarded with
great suspicion in the Parliament at Pcsth.
But this time stronger antipathy has CON
1ucred the old distrust and the memory OF
the intervention of Russia in the disastrous
days of Forty Eight has been enough to cause
the warmest adhesion Of the Magyars to tho
decided position of the Austrian Government
The resistance comes from new quarter. The
Slavic propaganda which has been carried on
for years among the Czechish populations OF
Bohemia has apparently succeeded in building
up fantastic sympathy with Russia, as the
head of the imaginary PaDslavic Empire. Tho
Polifk, a journal published at Prague, by the
visionary men of letters and doctrnares who
furnish ideas to the party, has taken an open
position of hostility to tho Austrian Govern
ment. and of adhesion to the Russian, in the
present quarrel. It is doubtful if this senti-
mental mutiny would survive the outbreak OF
actual war, but it indicates so sinister state
of public opinion in Bohemia that it will
probab]y cause some concern in Vienna, and
induce the Imperial Government to proceed
with great circumspection in the delicate ne
gotiations which are soon to bring peace or
war to all Europe.
When we see every court of the world thus
finding its inspiration in the voice OF the peo-
plea descendant of William the Norman
complaining of a State paper she was not al
lowed to read or alter-a Hapsburg told by
printers which way he shall goa Napoleon
losing his crown in war he could neither
avoid nor carry on-and then recall the days
when France went to battle and ruin to flat
ter caprice of Pompadour, and Russia drew
the sword to avenge an epigram on Car
mas lover and Hungary was dragged into
slaughter by smile and tear from Maria
Theresa, we cannot but admit that the new
times, with all their shortcomings, are bet er

THE TOICE or THE PEOPLE.

1t is enough to make the Old-fashOned kings
turn in their graves to sec the hesitatiOns and
delays imposed upon monarchs of the present
day by the pressure of public opinion. The only
sovereign of Europe who is able to adopt and
carry out purely dyDastic policy is the Car
of Russia, and even he is obliged to consider
most carefully the popular currents in other
countries. But in all the Western nations the
best laid plans of Cabinets are worthless if
they lack the assent of the people at large.
1t is very clear that in case the Cabinet of
England should find itself forced to adopt ex-
treme measures for the vindication of the
Treaty of Paris, it will be sustained by the
English people, and if the Court circles are led
by their family relations TO oppose the action
Of the responsible Government, it will be the
worse for the dynasty. The Prince of Wales,
we are informed, has already had the temerity
to express to Lord Granville his own and his
royal mothers dissatisfaction with the resOlute
Note to Russia. He is brother-in-law to the
future Car and to the future Emperor of Ger
many, and naturally takes their side in quar-
rel in which family interests are ranged on
one side and his country's cause on the other.
1t is likely that the cOurty Secretary of State
did not answer this princely insolence accord
ing to its folly but if the royal family set
themselves up in a decided attitude of hosti-
ity to the national feeling, they will all hear
more plain truth than they have ever heard
before in their lives. They receive large sums
of money and great social consideration from
the people of England for doing nothing but
keeping out of politics. They are precisely
the only householders in Great Britain who
have no right to political opinion.

" RPTTJSH COIUr

The World is shocked by the fac. that we
exported scarcely more of Manufactures in
1870 than in 1860, which it considers deplorable.
We do not so regard it. If our wOrlimen
would accept the wages of their European
Iivals-if they were content with the food,
clothing lodging, &C., of the operatives of the
countries which largely export Manufactures
we could export as freely as they do. But 40
long as Labor is paid twice as much here as
in Europe, we are not likely to run Europe
out of her Asiatic and African markets for
average Wares and Fabrics We shall export
mainly such as we produce cheaply by reason
of advantages secured to us by American in
venton and labor-saving ingenuity. Mean
time, our Exports will mainly consist of the
products of our soil, our forests. our mines,
and our fisheries.
But The World sees fit to say:
at would be in vain to ask Mr. Greeley for solution.
His only answer would be British god.' But In this
1t is not only British but all the worlds gold that
We ought to get, and that we have not got"
The readers of THE TRIBUNE know whether
it is or is not true that we are constantly talk
ing of british Goldn and finding in this the
solution of Economic problems. Those Of The
World have not like knowledge of the facts.
W @ propose, lncltlOIe, lCSJ WHICH tHcy 'dh
apprehend. There is extant q small volume
entitled Essays designed to elucidate the
Science of Political Economy, while serving
" to explain and defend the policy of Protection
ito Home Industry, as a system of National
Cooperation for the Elevation of Labor: BY
Horace Greeley The World has received a
copy of that volume; if it has not kept it,
another will be given on application at this
office. Said volume has a very full and care
full index, which we have scanned IN vain in
quest of the phrase British Gold" But The
World may have keener vision; and we will
thank it to state on precisely how many of its
3Si pages there is in that work anything which
can be tortured into an allusion to British
"Gold," or a resort to the line of argument
which those words are understood to sym
bolize.
This is not the first. and we presume not
the iftieth, time that The World has told its
readers that we respond to the argument for
Free Trade by Naturalization concerning
British Gold.n We now challenge it to make
good its assumption, or stand rebuked for a
recklessness Of statement without justification
or apology.

The Democrats of Chicago are greatly
shocked and grieved at fact they have
learned since the election. 1t is known that
they made no nomination for Congress, but
supported the Hon. John Wentworth Free
Trader, against the regular Republican candi-
date, Charles b. Farwell. They were so sure
of success that they bet largely on the result.
Mr.. Farwel and his friends, esteeming the
Free Trade detection at its just value, calmly
took all the bets that were offered, and the
result is the campaign cost them nothing, and
they are embarrassed with a surplus of $4,000,
for the disposal of which they are looking
about for some eligible charities. This pro-
ceeding is regarded by the Nasbys of the
Northwest as an outrage upon honor and
decency

Yesterday we published letter calling at

School Teachers of this city to the Board of

who does the same work us man, md does
1t equally well, should receive the same pay,
