New-York tribune., 1870-08-13

first time in twenty years we see the Corps
Legislatif assuming the direction Of national
affairs. We see the representatives of the peo-
pie taking the administration into their own
hands. dismissing the Imperial Cabinet, criti-
cisng and reversing the Imperial policy. All
this while there is hardly reference to the
beaten Emperor The Regency is ignored; per-
sona government is OverthrOwn, and for the
present no man in France has less control over
the French Administration than the French
Emperor 1t il clear now that Napoleon per-
sonally has never had hold upon the afiec-
tons of his people. A majority has followed
him in the belief that under him the ancient
military glory of France, so dear to every
Frenchman, might be revived; but since that
hone has proved fallacous the French have
deserted him almost to a man.
Would a great victory in front of Metz save
himf We doubt it. The people seem to have
made up their minds that he is thoroughly in
competent, and for whatever good fortune
NAV hereafter attend the French arms, they
will thank not Napoleon but his generals
The war to which he trusted for the cOnsOli-
dation of his power is destined to undo all the
trickery of the Plebiscitum and the schemes
and violence of long years of power; in any
event it must unsettle the succession, and
render the long duration of the empire
doubtful. This is on the supposition of a
victory at Metz. If Napoleon however, is de-
feated again within the next week, nothing
can save him. That he will be defeated we
have little doubt. The Prussians already out
number him, and are bringing up trained SOL
diers faster than he can summon raw levies
of militia. They excel him in generalship as
much as they excel him in numbers they have
now every advantage of position; and to
match the enthusiastic uprising of France they
have the steady patriotism of a brave and
united people. They cannot but conquer, and
with their victory the Bonapartes will disap-
pear forever.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-13

Making all allowances for first impressions,
every one will admit that the picture of affairs
in France, as drawn by our correspondents
who have been sent to replace the unfortunate
ooDtlemen recently arrested and banished, is
ANYTHING but cheerful. The levy en- "'dSSe is
little better than howling mob, as we well
knew it must be; and though it can no doubt
be converted in time into an army onerS
at present a terrible contrast 10 the
disciplined and resOlute hosts when are
tramping across the Palatinate, across BADEN
across the valley of the Rhine, to JON the
gray old King in front of Metz. Ot military
movements proper there is little news 10 teii'
principally because army news just now Is
cOntraband of war and cannot set across the
channel The report of the investment OF
StrasbOurg is amply confirmed, and so
ia the retreat of MacMahOn from the
passes of the Vosges. Thus the whole
frontier is open to the Prussians. The Crown
Prince is pushing MacMahOn with vigor, but
is not likely to prevent his communication
New-York tribune., 1870-08-13

The disaster in the harbOr last night is ap-
parently attributable to the use of intoxicating
liquor. Day by day the instances of its hor-
rible works increase among US. Here, at least,
is a case in which there can be little diff
Guilty in fixing the immediate guilt. If either
Captain or Pilot of the Coney Island steamer
was unfit for duty, the authorities can speedily
determine the fact; and the public will not
hesitate then to demand that the besotted Of
fcer be held guilty of the murder done last
night in the Bay, and punished accordingly.

The Sun responds to our late inquiry, that 1t
is a partner with THE TRIBUNE in the Assocla-
ted Press, which is controlled by certain
agreement, and that
zone OF the articles OF this instrument provides that
excepting matters relating to political conventions exc
outons and sporting news neither OF these partners shall
have any exclusive teegraphic correspondents at any
other place than Washington and Albany and that All
telegraphc Intelligence procured for either OF the part
ners from any other place shall be communicated 10 all
the others by them, IL they deem proper Just az
though had been procured by their own spec
correspondents by the ordinary agens.of the assoc
ton. Accordingly, when any such intelligence
is furnished to either OF the journals belonging TO
this partnership and used and paid for by that journal
il is lust as much the property of that journal as though
it had been furnished by special correspondent OF ts
own or by an ordinary agent OF the association In
neither case s it exclusive property of any one OF te
partners it belongs to all the partners equally Ihis
ownership ia fixed and determined by the articles OF
partnership on what pretense then does THE TRIBUNE
presume address such questions as those quoted
aboyef
Ans,uer you see fit to dlsparage,
caricature, and defame that very intelligence
which we gather from the two great countries
involved in momentous War, which intelll-
gence you nevertheless print and pay for.
You are under no obligation to take and pay
for it, yet you do, and thereby confess its
value. We insist that you either stop using
OF stop abusing it.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST la, 1870.

Sun on the enterprise Of its correspondent
but does MT he sacrifice great deal OF vallia-
BILE time by choosing this curious route lHE
TRIBUNE's representatives went via Paris and
Berlin and got in their news just about
month before Mr.. Russell was even heard
from.
Out of the din of battle who would think
of gathering a French tribute to Charles Dick
ems! Yet we read that when the Sd Regiment
of yoltiguers of the Imperial Guard marched
out of Paris they were followed by their dog
"Piquevuique.'
1t is a curious fact of which no really
satisfactory explanation has ever been given,
that as firearms are rendered more and more
deadly, war becomes less and less destructive
of human life At BOrodno the loss was one
third of all the men engaged. At Waterloo 1t
was one-fourth. At Inkerman, where there
WAS neither rifed cannon nor breech-
loader on the field, the English lost one-third.
At Magenta and Solferino, with vastly Detter
weapons. the casualties were one-eleventh; at
Chattanooga, One-thirteenth whlle at honiS
gratz, where the terrible needle-gun caused
such CONSERVATION, the losses were only one
twenty-third
One of the wickedest of modern wars, a
contest fought for the purpose OF CONSOLE
dating despotism, promises to result in an i'm
mediate triumph of freedom. The poet must
have been filled with the spirit of prophecy
when he wrote:
Though many light shall darken, and many shall weep
For those who crushed in the clash Of arring CLAIMS
Yet Gods just wrath shall be wreaked on giant lar;
And many a darkness into the light shall leap
And shine in the sudden making Of splendid Names
And noble thought be freer under the sum-
And the heart of a people beat with one desire.
