GENERAL TROCHU.

TaE rising man of France is apparently
General Trochu. The people of that country
need. above all things, a leader in whom
public confidence can be centralized, and
whose voice can be heard above the din of
clashing factions His present position gives
him grand opportunities for seizing the reins
of power which are slipping from Napoleons
paralyzed hands. He is trusted now by the
friends of the Empire, and can rely upon their
cordial support, but he is credited with Or
leanist proclivities, and if this imputation has
only slight foundation, the partisans of the
exiled princes will feel inclined to sustain
him, in the hope that he may play the part of
General Monk. He declares himself, how
ever, that he belongs to no party, and that
his sole object is to save France, and on this
broad platform Republicans as we'll as Or
leanists and Imperialists can stand Meanwhile
he is made Military Governor of Paris-the
city which governs and is France-and as the
exigencies of the situation necessarily invest
him with control which is well-nigh absolute,
it will be strange if he does not turn such
commanding position to good account. The
first Napoleon protected the King against
Partisan mobs, then he served Directory
with wonderful skill and energy, but he soon
managed to obtain supreme power.
Trochu has less difficult
task to perform now, provided he is able to
save Paris from humiliating capture. He
is not required to perform impossible feats
of valor in the open field, or asked as Mae
Mahon was, to hold in check enemies four
times as numerous as his own forces. If the
Prussians approach the capital the people
will by that time be SO accustomed to
disastrous tidings that even the most COM
monplace and simple of French successes
will be regarded as great victories, and if he
can mass sufficient force behind the strong
fortifcations of the capital to hold the in
vaders at bay he will be hailed as the de-
liverer of his country.
From present indications King William will
soon be able to dictate terms of peace whether
Paris is or is not captured. But whether
France is temporarily humiliated by dis-
graceful treaty, or whe her she resolves upon
a desperate resistance which is to begin with
raising siege of her capital, she will long
for military ruler to restore her lost pres
tige, and Trochu is more likely to be chosen
to crafty this national longing than any of the
generals who are vainly striving to resist the
Prussian advance. For the present. there
fore, he seems to be the Man of Destiny, and
if crucial test proves that his abilities have
not been overestimated, he will become the
virtual successor of the present Emperor.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-08-20

ment by the French, and that the longer the
present contest between that country and
Prussia continues the worse his chances will
be to maintain his temporal authority in
Rome, and his anxiety to bring about peace
as speedily as possible is apparently tinged
with more or less worldly selfshness. II the
Pope had never been involved in the compli-
cations of European politics other than in
purely spiritual capacity, it is doubtful
whether his offer of mediation would be able
to effect great deal at the present juncture,
and it is tolerably certain that neither the King
of Prussia nor the Emperor of France will
restrain the fury of their armies or cease
striking heavy blows at each other whenever
an opportunity offers, in order to allow the
benevolent old gentleman who sits trembling
in the Vatican under the load of his recently
acquired infallibility to settle the differ
ences by an er cdttedrd declaration from the
Chair Of st, Peter, It is true that the King
of Prussia who-as Protestant, by-the-way
is supposed not to recognize the pretensions
of the Pope as the head of the Church-seuds
very respectful answer to the plea for
peace made by his Holiness, but declares
very strenuously that the other man
is the one who commenced the fight,
and that he is ready to lay
down the sword the moment the honor and
independence of his country are secure. He
further says, ''If your Holiness could offer
me from him who so unexpectedly declared
war assurances of sincerely pacific disposi-
tions and guarantees against similar attempts
on the peace and tranquility of Europe, it
certainly will not tie I who will refuse to re-
ceive them from your venerable hands. The
truth is that his Holiness will not be able to
offer any such assurances and guarantees,
unless indeed the rumors of another great
Prussian victory and the death of the French
Emperor, which we publish to-day, be true,
and then the peace of Europe will be secured
rather by the success of Prussian arms than
by the intermediation of the Pope.

THE POPE AS PEAOEMAKER.

IF THE correspondence between the Pope and
the King of Prussia, which reaches us by
cable under date of yesterday, be authentic,
it certainly represents his Holiness in a role
that all good Christians, whether acknowledg-
ing his spiritual jurisdiction or not, will be
pleased to see him assume. When the Pope
appears upon the field as peacemaker he is
fulfilling the legitimate functions of his
high Office, if there is any virtue at all in the
very first principles of the creed of which he
processes to be the infallible exponent. 1t
is sad to think, however, that not
only Plus TX, but the majority of
his predecessors, SO far from appearing as the
evangels of peace, have been the causes of a
large proportion of the strife and bloodshed
that have desolated Europe during the last
eighteen centuries The world cannot for
get that French army has occupied Rome
until within few days past, not to protect
the Vicar of Christ in the exercise of that
spiritual authority he claims to exercise as
the head of the Church, and which is confined
by no territorial boundaries, but to sustain
his temporal authority over petty Italian
principality, in defiance of the wishes of
the nation which looks upon the
Eternal Cit as its natural capital.
The world knows, too, that the
Pope is in trouble on account Of his abandon

TIE SITnATlON

The despatch from King William to the
Queen of Prussia, dated at Rezonville on
the eve ming of the 18th instant, clears away
the doubts which previously existed in re-
gard to the result of the late battles on the
west bank of the Moselle He says briefly
but emphatically that the com munications
of the French army with Paris have been
intercepted, and that it has been driven back
into the Notifications of Metz; so that the
last hope of offering an effective resistance
to Prussian advance on Paris has been de-
Unolished If Lee, when he marched into
Peunsy vania in 1868, had been able to leave
behind Confederate force strong
enough to drive the Union army of the Poto-
mac into fortifcation in Virginia and keep
it there, he would not have possessed greater
facilities for making an uninterrupted march
on Philadelphia than the Crown Prince now
possesses for his present movement against
the gay capital of France AS we fell back
upon our Home Guard and our earthworks at
Fairmount Park for protection, 80 Paris is
now forced to rely upon the Garde Mobile,
and has the strong wall of defense furnished
by her extensive Notifications.
AS the Prussians approach this barrier,
political changes even greater than those
already made may be anticipated; and if the
report of the death of Napoleon is verified,
these changes will instantly become neces-
sary. Then the most momentous question of
the whole war will arise-wnether the losses
and humiliation already suffered by France
will ensure a speedy peace, or whether, in
spite of her disasters, she will risk and dare
everything in desperate determination to
die in the last ditch before she acknowledges
the prowess of the invader.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-08-20

If ANYTHING could have a more depressing
influence upon the spirits of the French
soldiers than their continued defeats, it would
be the address issued by Napoleon at Metz,
in which he plainly told them that the Prus-
SLAMS had a better way than their own of
managing a battle, and that the best they
can do, at this late day, is to endeavor to
initiate the tactics of their adversaries. Such
an acknowledgment of superiority, tele-
graphed all over France, will take the last
gleam of hope from the new levies
