The right Of neutrality is now so well estab-
lished as q portion of the unwritten inter
national law of the world, that we have almost
ceased to remember that it was by the efforts
of American statesmen that this right was first
vindicated and fixed. The story SO admirably
told by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams last
night, in his address before the Historical
Society, is worth careful reading and ponder
ing. The clearness Of comprehension, energy,
and precision of statement and perfect ac-
quaintance with the matter in hand exhibited
in this monograph, afford hopeful indication
of the treat that is in store for all students OF
history, when Mr. Adams fulfills his promise
of illustrating the story of the war of 1872.
The orator made pregnant allusion to the
'tribulatiOns of the sufferers by French spolia-
tons, as full Of warning to the Alabama claim
ants, and it was impossible to avoid the in
ference that the same importunate question
was before the minds eye of the veteran
diplomatist when he said, referring to the war
of a half-century ago, "The root of the evil
twas the absence of heart to be friendly, and
"the end was to bring on war, which, taken
"frOm the English point of view, has ever
"seemed to me a blunder committed from her
customary habit of never retracting an error
" in good season."

THE FLIGHT FROM THE LOIRE.

Details of operations on the Loire are meager
and unsatisfactory still, enough ia known to
indicate that the French Army of the Loire il
in desperate strait, if not actually beaten and
routed.
There are no dispatches from Tours, but it
| is evident that the city has been evacuated.
The temporary government was yesterday es-
tabbsbed at Bordeaux, and Gambetta has gone
| TO TeiOin the army about BOurges, 65 miles
south Of Paris, upon which place it is attempt
ing to retreat. Troops from the southern
provinces are pushing forward to the same
point, with the design of reinforcing the army
there; but it is doubtful if beaten battaliOns
and their undisciplined recruits can form u
junction so far north as BOurges,
IT seems that the fighting in the vicinity Of
Meung and Beaugency, north of the Loire,
between the Duke of Mecklenburg and Gen.
Chauzy, was not of a severe character. The
engagements were of doubtful issue, both
combatants claiming victories. The failure Of
the Germans to push the French in this re-
gOn and advance on Tours has been some
what mystifying, for it was known that they
possessed ample forces TO accomplish such an
undertaking, if desirable. The mystery
now finds solution in the appearance of
Prince Frederick Charles's army far south Of
the Loire at Yierson and Massey, few miles
north of BOurges, and upon the direct line of
retreat of the French to that city and of COM
municatiOns with Lyons. The 1anling march
has been successful in placing the Princes
army in this position, but whether the Army
of the Loire has been cut in two and sur
rounded is yet doubtful. The dispatches
it in flight towards Bourges and as
" captured and beaten" but the language is
vague, and we are not disposed to
give it full credence. But that the French
are in flight, that their retreat is disorderly,
and that the Loire has been abandoned by
them as defensive line, admit of no doubt.

proved that the reduction 10 the prices OF

ranged from 10 to 46 per cent, average reduc-

The House, in reasserting yesterday its de-
cision to repeal the Franking Privilege sug-
gcsted its duty to the Senate in manner
which we trust is not to be misunderstood or
lost. The abuse ought to be abolished at this
session of Congress; and the Senate cannot
do its duty with better grace than by so re-
solving before the House Postal bill reaches
it. A resolution has already been introduced
in the Senate; it should not be suffered to
remain deferred indefinitely.
