Oar French and German Residents.

The wise advice which the Courier des Etats
Unis gives its compatriots in New York, to
maintain, especially in places of public resort,
'the utmost GOODNESS and moderation" might
well be given to the Germans in our midst,
who largely outnumber the French. "All
intemperance of language is lack of self
respect or a lack of generosity, according as it
is occasioned by adversely or by prosperity"
1t is earnestly to be hoped that our French and
German residents will not repeat the painful
personal conflicts which have already taken
place. Why should they quarrel? At this
distance from the actual seat of war they
might both coollylook at the situation and
repress even the strongest natural sympathies
with one side or the other, rather than
come to blows at the dinner table, in the
club or in the barroom The Germans
at home are fighting not for Prussia
80 much as for Deutschland, not for
absolutism, in the persons of Frederick,
William and his able Minister, Bismarck, as
for the unity of Germany, and, it is not too
soon to add, for republic as a possible
ultimate result Of the war; They are thus
really fighting for France as well as for
Germany. On the other hand, should
Napoleon either abdicate or proclaim univer-
sal republic, there would no longer exist bar
to the enthusiasm with which the French
people would rise en- masse to the defence of
their native soil against foreign invasion. The
prestige of the famous armies Of the first
French republic would be recovered. French
republicans and German republicans would
shake hands instead of crossing swords. An
era of peace and cono:liation would be
inaugurated which nothing but the restoration
of imperial aud monarchical despotsm could
interrupt. The Germans at home are fighting
for German unity. The Frenchmen at home
are fighting against foreign invasion. Most of
the Germans and of the French in New York
are republicans and need not quarrel here. If
they are ''spoiing for fight" let them go
home to France or to Germany and volunteer
for the defence either Of Paris or Berlin

OUR WAR CORRESPONDENCE FROM EUROPE
Our special correspondence from the seat of
war in Europe, dated to the 29th of July, en-
braces letters from writer's at Strasbourg and
Nancy, detailing the immense force which was
then marshalled for the work of decisive COM
bat on the part Of France with Prussia. We
have, indeed, special report of the Prussian
reply to the first French demonstrations by
the destruction Of the German powder maga-
zine on the banks of the Rhine, the tearing up
Of railroads and the explosion of viaduct in
the face of the would be invaders. From Paris
comes very graphic special account of the
scenes which were witnessed in the French
capital as the imperial forces marched through
the city for the front. Our special writer in
London notes England's alarm aad Cabinet

Our Political State Conventions.

The first of the series of political State con-
ventions to be held prior to the fall electo
will be that Of the republicans in Ohio, which
takes place to-day. This will be followed by
conventions in other States, and we shall soon
have the whole political machinery again in
active motion. Notwithstanding the extreme
heat of the weather politicians have kept
themselves cool enough to prepare their usual
wirepulling traps, in view of the complexion
Of the next Congress. Ohio will start off with
some subterranean operations looking to the
displacement of Senator Sherman, whose
term, however, does not expire until 1878; !;
but his opponents think it is not too early to
begin laying pipe for the purpose of event.
ually, if possible, ousting him from his seat.
In Massachusetts, it is reported that pro-
gramme is being prepared in which General
Butler will play the first overture for seat in
the United States Senate. In New Jersey the
election of successor to Senator Cattell is
already agitating political circles. In the
interior of this State the republicans are en-.
deavoring to heal their breaches and making
preparations to present solid front to the
enemy, with, perhaps, some one from this city
as their candidate for Governor. But tits as
yet too early to speculate In regard to the
schemes of politicians. After the State con-
ventions shall have been held, candidates
nominated and platforms presented, we shall
be better able to judge of what is likely to
happen and who is likely to turn up in the
grand whirligig of politics.

The War News from Europe.

The war news from Europe, by special
cable telegram aad from other sources, which
reached us to an early hour this morning, is of
quite an exciting character. The great
struggle between France and Prussia is
evidently approaching decisive crisis
rapidly The Prussian troops were concsn-
trated before Metz, and German advance
was being made on Strasbourg by Mulhausen.
Napoleon was in council with Marshal Bazaine.
The French armies, as announced in England,
were still in force and in good position.
Indeed, it is intimated even that the
troops Of the Emperor may attempt to
wedge in the Prussian corps of advance
when it comes between Metz and Paris
and then assail them with great impetuosity.
Victory is absolutely essential to the prolon-
cation of Napoleons rule. Paris remains in O
critical condition. The people are excited.
Free speech on the subject Of the war is de-
MED them. II was alleged that the Empress
Eugenie had fled from the capital, and many
other wild and bewildering rumors were af1oat.
An adverse action of the French Parliament
produced Cabinet crisis for Olivier. The
Premier asked time to consider his course. The
French democracy was wheeling into line
for the Emperor--a movement which may
produce much good or great evil to the
imperial cause. General Changarnier Joined
the French headquarters at Metz. He en-.
joyed an ovation. Italy and Austria will, it is
said, come to the aid Of Bonaparte. Prussia
has closed the river Ebe almost completely.
The English dispatches intimate that Napoleon
is in great danger, but at the same time they
seem to anticipate that he may yet retrieve
his position We may receive most startling
news at any moment.
The New York herald., 1870-08-10
Postal Communication Between Antwerp
aud New York.

1t is very possible that Antwerp is not
potent factor of European politics, and its
opinion that the Franco -Prussian war will be
over in week, according to somewhat silly
telegram received yesterday by the ocean
cable, may not decide the fate Of empires. But
Antwerp is nevertheless town which has,
within few years, revived to an extraordi-
nary degree from the decline into which it had
previously fallen. 1t may yet recover the
splendid position which it held in the height of
its prosperity, between the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, when it was the COM
mercial centre of Europe, and was frequented
by ships Of all nations, bossting of twenty-five
hundred vessels in port at one time, and of a
population of two hundred thousand. If a
letter from Brussels to London may be credited
Antwerp has already made an additional
stride towards its ancient position by the
establishment of weekly postal service
The New York herald., 1870-08-10

TIE DEFENCE OF PAEIs-ARE WE YET
IN TIE MIDDLE AGEs?--The Empress
Regent and Prime Minister Olivier make
arrangements for the defence Of Paris. Do
they imagine that France is Paris? Time
was when miserable old castle would
check the progress of an invading army; but
that was before railroads were known and
before the telegraph made news fly on the
lightnings wing II the Prussians appear
In force within twenty miles Of Paris, Paris is
gone. Not twenty Frcnchmen could be hired
to defend the city. But even if it were de-
Tended what would it signify? France would
be not The less at the mercy Of the conqueror.
Paris might hold out for day, Or day or two /;
but Paris isolatedParis, q city Of shop
keepers, who live by bleeding Americans and
Englishmen-France would be at the mercy
of the invader. Depend upon it, before
Prussia will have time to fling upon it shot
and shell the shopkeepers and the sans cu-
totes would surrender. Eugenie, dear Olli-
vier, my boy, don't talk any more nonsense
about Paris. The defence OF France ought to
have been on the border.
The New York herald., 1870-08-10

between Itself and New York for fifteen years.
The German steamer which Congress recently
lost the opportunity of purchasing may be
secured, II is surmised. for this service, which
is additionally important in view of the uncer-
tainties of communication between this port
and the Port of Bremen, Hamburg and Havre,
on account of the European war. Immigra-
tion from Germany and France to the United
States must be temporarily checked by the
war; but facilities of postal communication
with the Continent of Europe are in greater
demand than ever, and, SO long as Belgium
maintains Its neutrality, will doubtless be fully
enjoyed,
