The comparative freedom Of expression il the
tone Of the French press Of late, and the falness
Of information !: offer, 5u war topics, appears
in marked contrast to the evident silence Of the
German papers On the same subjects. lntelH-
geuce from Prussian sources since the opening Of
the campaign. has been chiefly conspicuous by
its absence: while the character of the few ies-
patches reaching US from Berlin, leads 70 the
supposition that the government allows no more
to appear in print than i; deems e1pelient or
useful. The success Of the Prussian armies SO
far is too patent to admit of doubt. yet the rigid
damming of the ordinary channels Of intelligence
cannot but arouse suspicion. This success may
have been purchased at too high rate, possibly
st a sacrifice Of life greater than the Prussian
authorities care to make public. At any rate,
where concealment is So obvious, it is only ma
tural to suspec; that something unpleasant must
be concealed. We have no details of losses in
the victorious armies, but the signs are not
wanting that these have been almost appalling in
their magnitude Probably their full extent will
be known only when the war has ceased; in the
meantime it may be assumed that the estimate
Of eighty five thousand as the number Of Prus-
sian wounded for which transportation was ask
ed was not far from correct. For the short De
riod during which hostilities have been in pro
gress this must be regarded as indicative Of rath-
er sauguinary work and bearing in mind that
the Prussian Is eminently a citizen soldiery, the
anxiety Of King William 10 - force the fighting,

er Of the nation by terminating the war, may be
readily understood

The CABIXEr.-The Springfield Republican
says
The latest rumor from Washington sends
Secretary Cox as minister TO England and makes
bluff Ben Wade secretary Of the interior in Cox 8
place. But we cannot believe Gen. Grant has
got so hard up for cabinet timber as this. A
great many of his appointments have been
dreadful, but fortunately few of them are actual
" as bad as the gossps would have us believe
they are to be.
We agree with the Republican. It is never
theless true that, as general rule, the appoint
ments of Gen. Grant have been surprises By
this time Gen. Grant must have learned, what
everyone has seen Illus trated in his aiministra-
ton, that under our form of government, if the
Cabinet is not a source Of power, it is sure to be
source of weakness. And 1t is much to be hoped
that if any change in the Cabinet is to be made,
it will be change for the better, which could
not be said Of the exchange Of Secretary Cox for
Ben Wade. Why does not Mr. Fish go to Eng
land himself?

A correspondent Of New York paper, in
letter from North Adams, says that the Chinese
shoemakers are making rapid progress in the
art of shoemaking, and are giving better work
than the regular Crispins He further asserts
that they are being rapidly Christianized, and
that fully fifty out of the seventy-fve attend
churches on Sunday, and are fervent Bsptists
and Congregationalists. This is pleasant news
Of the new workmen, but we should the more
readily believe it were it little less eouisur de
rose Unfortunately, it is notorious that the
Chinese are of all races the least susceptible to
missionary effort Beyond the national venera-
ton for their ancestors, the religious sentiment
appears dormant to battling degree in the
Chinese mind. But John Chinaman may be-
come pesceable and useful Citizen. nevertheless.

A New York paper having remarked that
it did not believe there was any party in the
country prepared for free trade the World
says:
Nor we either; at all events, the Democratic
party does not want it.
1t is well to stick pin in that point, that
the Democracy do not rant free trade. 1t
will be news to a good many honest people
who in their simplicity have supposed that
Democratic papers meant what they said.
