THE PRINCE IMPERLALiS "BAP-
TISM or FIRE."

The delectable despatch from the French
Emperor to the Empress with reference to
the Prince Imperial's ''baptism of fire. at
Saarbrucken as a piece of comedy is ~irresist-
IDLE. Although worded as if for the private
eye of the boys mother, it was evidently in
tended for the public, with the hope that it
would inspire an enthusiasm for the bold
young warrior in the hearts of the French
people. We can imagine the ardor of the
excitable citizens of Paris when they see in
the Emperor's declaration, "Louis and L were
in front aohere bullets fell around u.s." pro-
phecy Of a new Napoleon lie Grand
who, like the uncle of his father, will make the
Kingdoms of Europe the tributaries of
France, and carry the ~tri-color from the
Atlantic to the Black Sea, and from the Medi-
terranean to the Baltic. 1t is interesting to
know that 'Louis keeps a ball that he picked
up" and affecting to learn that the soldiers
wept at his tranquility, y but, as if to turn the
comedy into an out and-out farce, the En-
peror concludes with the rather uninspiring
information that eve lost an officer and ten
men," This destroys all the romance and
poetry of the affair, and it is impossible I'M
der such circumstances even for the lively
imagination of a Frenchman to picture the
Emperor and the Prince Imperial exposing
themselves unmoved to showers of bullets and
surveying the conflict from mid heaps of
dead and dying.
The smallness of the whole affair probably
accounts for the fact hat Louis ''was adj
mirably cool and unimpressed;" and if the
whole truth were known, the soldiers who
wept at the tranquility of Louis would most
likely be found to be no more than a couple
of Wallets who had never smelt gunpowder be-
fore, and who wanted to go home. The EN-
peror has not shown himself to be a very good
hand at writing addresses or dispatches.
His address to the army was singularly NAL
apr0pOS, and the despatch recording the
Prince Imperials ''baptism of fire" is far
more likely to excite ridicule than enthu-
siasm. The constituencies of the French
people is proverbial, and for the Emperor to
make a fool of himself and to turn the laugh
against his son is to render the boys chances
of reaching the throne more problematical
than ever.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-08-04

suggests, upon a war footing, so that it WIN
rival The floating ornaments of France and
England, but it is necessary that we should
have a naval depot such as League Island is
intended to be, from which a fleet can be
fitted out at the shortest notice, and it was a
piece of criminal neglect on the part of Con-
gress that nothing was done to provide for
the immediate establishment of such a depot.
Another specimen of the way in which Phi
ladelphia was treated by Congress was the
failure to make an appropriation for proper
post office and United States Court accommo-
dations. Immense sums of money are being
expended in New York and Boston for build
ings to contain the Post Offices and United
States Courts, while this city has to be con-
tent with a structure disgracefully made
quate. 1t is simply scandalous that in this,
the second city in the Union in wealth and
population, the post-ofice business should
be transacted in such cramped and
unsuitable quarters as at present, and
that the entrance to the United
States courts should be on a back street
where not one person out of a thousand
would ever think of looking for it. 1t is
high time that Philadelphia should assert her
right to a reasonable share of attention from
Congress; and while economy in the public
expenditures is to be encouraged and insisted
upon, those who have the control of the
public funds ought to be compelled by the
pressure of public opinion to distribute them
with a little more discretion than they have
been in the habit of doing.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-08-04

to be on extremely difficult thing to
discover them. Judge Paxson, a few days
ago, announced bis determination to ad-
minister the law with severity, and this is a
case that clearly demands a strict carrying
out of that determination Nothing less than
the full penalty permitted by the law will
satisfy the demands of Justice, and
the heaviest sentence that can be
imposed will be disproportionate to
the magnitude of the crime. There are
two other bills of indictment, however,
against the prisoners, one charging assault
and battery with intent to kill, and one
charging highway robbery; and as there is no
doubt that conviction can be secured upon
both of these counts, the aggregate punish
ment likely to be melted out to them will be
thirty-two years Imprisonment, and the
Judge will fail in his duty if he does not sen-
tence them to the full term.

ENGLISH

ENGLAND continues FESTIVE under Gladstone's
indecisive policy, and his great rival, Disraeli,
gave utterance to the true sentiment of the
nation when he said that English neutrality
must instantly be put in a condition to make
itself respected. The Wing administration
cannot afford to daily much longer with the
absorbing question of the hour. 1t will soon
be forced to follow in the wake of Lord John
Russell's line of policy or to surrender the
seals of Office to the Tories, or to a new COM
bination Cabinet. Meanwhile tardy qualms
of conscience are awaking in the stolid Eng
glish mind respecting their whole system of
neutrality. They are beginning to see what a
sorry sham it is. The remonstrance of Prussia,
following close upon the heels of American
complaints based on the escape of the Ala
bama, are at last forcing Parliament to Sc
riously consider the proprietyr of amending
the present defective English neutrality laws.
The Cowboys of our own Revolution, who
were ready to plumber either party aud to
render effective aid to none, furnish the true
type of modern Great Britain in the great
international contests of this era. But if
anything can redeem the British Government
from the disgrace of a continued maintenance
of this despicable position, it is the peculiar
character of the present complication and the
public sentiment it has awakened.

A CABLE DESPATCH says that substitutes are
in great demand in Paris, fifteen hundred
dollars per head being offered, and the de-
mand, at these figures, greatly exceeding the
supply. Here is a glorious chance for the
bounty-jumpers of this country. They are
we'll up in the tricks of the profession, for
their experience in the late war has not yet
been forgotten, and as America has no class
that she can better afford to spare, we hope
whole cargoes of them will be shipped at once
to France,

G~ENERALITIES.
THE UNITED STATES AND C

THE UNITED STATE AND CANADA.
The exact facts are perhaps as yet in doubt
respecting either a most egregious blunder in
United States surveying or an utterly prepos-
ferrous claim on the part of Canada. The United
States Government has expended in all hitherto
about $3.50, 600 in improving the st. Clair Flats
and constructing the st. Clair Flats Ship Canal.
Not long ago the Detroit Custom House
officers arrested one Hiram Little, who sup
piled the contractor for this work with wood,
and seized also the steam barge and scow,
and the timber that was alleged to have been
brought into American territory without paving
duty. Mr.. Little claimed that the work pro-
cecding on the Flats was not in American terri
tory. Surveying commissioners have ~investi-
gated the affair, and the Buffalo Commercial, in
anticipation, it is supposed, of their report.
says:-'It was intended that the canal should be
entirely within the bounds of the United States.
but, on the contrary, it is found to be wholly
within the Dominion of Canada" If such an
incredible blnnder has been made, there is at
least this consolation: there will be no frontier
line between the United States and Canada
within a very short period after the latter is
called upon, directly or indirectly, to defray the
expenses of Belgium's neutrality.
A BIT OF SECRET HISTORY.
In consequence of the publication of erroneous
statements ascribing the arrest of the Hon. G.
j. Faulkner, in August, 1861, to suspicious on
the part of the Government as to fidelity in the
the United States to France, that gentleman has
written a letter to The Fdlley Star detailing the
facts of that occurrence. He states that after
his return from Europe, and reporting himself
at Washington so as to close the affairs of his
mission, he received from the Government q
pass or safe conduct through the lines to his
home in Virginia. Two days afterwards he was
arrested by order of Secretary Cameron. the
reason therefor being officially given that 'being
a distinguished citizen of the State of Virginia
he has been arrested, and is now held as a host
age for the safe return of Henry 8. Magraw, late
Treasurer of Pennsylvania, and that with my
consent he shall not be released until Magraw's
return" No other reason was ever alleged, and
upon the return of Magraw Mr.. Faulkner
claimed and obtained his liberty.
