New-York tribune., 1870-09-28

The movement of the Prussan column un-
der the command of the Crown Prince Of
Saxony southwark from Paris has already re-
suited in the evacuation of Orleans, and the
French Government, dreading its advance
upon Tours has prepared to flee from that
place. The occupation of Orleans will at once
compel the Abandonment of the line of the
Loire by the French troops organizing
there and the capture of Tours, which
may soon follow, will leave the whole
of the Western Departments open to the
destructive raids of the Prussian cavalry.
A column, said to be moving from the region
of the Upper Rhine towards Lyons, will serve
as basis for like operations in the South
Western Departments, and may by rapid move
ments occupy Lyons itself. There is no doubt
of the disposition, preparations, and designs of
the Prussians to Overrun France with mounted
men while waiting events at Paris, Metz, and
StrasbOurg. There is also very little doubt OF
their ability to go where they will, and devas-
tate the country almost to the very shores of
the Atlantic and Mediterranean. These two
expeditions, now merely indicated, are likely
to grow in Importance, and may yet prove
fraught with danger to the districts of France
remOtest from the present seat of war.

COY. W1LKER,S CASE.

Harrison Reed is the present Republican Gov
ernor of Florida ID. S. Walker, who wds Gov
ernor under the former regime, is assailing
him on the stump as peculator and thief,
and thereupon seeking to drive the Repub-
licans from power. Gov. Reed responds in
a speech whereof a synopsis is given IN 1HE
TRIBUNE. Ex-GOv. Walker claims the prlyl-
lege of replying through our columns, and we
for once concede it. And now word as to
Mr.. Walkers line of defense.
Gov. Reed charges in substance that Walker
was Register of the State Land Office, and
that there should have been SSOO,OOO 10 that
office when it came into the hands of the
Republicans, but there was MT the first cent,
Ex-Gov. Walker does not deny that the
funds have been embezzled as Gov. Reed
charges; but he says that he ceased to be
Register several years before the office passed
over to the Republicans, and that he never
took dollar of the money.
Assuming that this defense is true, is it suf-
ficient? individuals are not of much account
in this controversy, which concerns two radl-
cally hostile ideas. Gov. Walker represents those
who fell with Slavery and the Rebellion, and
who now seek to rise again by proving tha
Republicans in Office inevitably steal. Gov.
Reed responds "Your crowd cere in office be-
"fore us, and they stole the School Fund bod
ely" If ex-Gov. Walker proves that he did MT
take it, tho fact remains that it is gone, and
that it went before the advent of the "carpet-
"baggers,n and under the state of things now
commended as pure and upright. 1t seems to
us that, in order to be effective, the ex-Gover-
nor's plea must allege, not merely that ne
did Mt take that 100000, but that it was
passed over intact to the thieving carpet
"baggers."
We are impelled to comment further on
Mr.. Walkers letter, but, having closed our
columns to him, we fOrbear.

WAR TOPICS.

The fidelity with which the putative Nephew
copies the Uncle is absolutely touching. The
story now is that the Third BOnaparte has
attempted to commit suicide, just as the First
used to tell people that he tried to do the same
thing after Waterloo, only the poison had lost
its strength. OF course the mere assertion of
the most mendacious of monarchs settles moth
ing. 1t was impossible for this wonderful
warrior always to speak the truth and Louis
Napoleon, whether he be really a BOnaparte or
not, has the same iniirmty. But neither of
these men, being fatalists, would be likely to
kill themselves. for we find in them the child

poison too weak. But did he ever intend that

feel that gift of one-and-sixpence might be
made III way just a little less lofty.
Poor Sir Bernard Burke, the most eminent
of English genealogists, says of the late mon
arch of France that be was finally Empe-
ror, excelling in his love and maintenance
of peace. and rivaling as statesman and a
"soldier his uncle, the most memorable ruler
" and greatest captain of Francer-all of which,
we suspect, the unfortunate though courtly
Sir Bernard will be obliged to strike out of
the next edition of his book for various rea-
sons, one of which is that the object of his
eulogy has turned out to be particularly Door
statesman and no "captainn at all. If any,
thing can make the figure of the "Uncler more
imposing in history, it will be the involuntary
comparisons between the first and second En-
pire, from which mankind would be more than
mortal TO abstain.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-28
TO GRU1NBLERS. f..

We ask no one to support ali incapable or
unworthy candidate for Office because he Is
called Republican and has regular nomina-
tion. On the contrary, we urge every voter to
strike from his ballot any name which he
knows to be that of dishonest OF unfit man,
no matter for the consequences. Conventions
and wire-workers must be taught that such
nominations will not answer, and this Is
the way to teach them. Do not ask us
to particuarize and denounce-for the
friends of the bad candidates would re-
sent such denunciation by striking at the
good ones-but do you make due inquiry, and
scratch off every bad mans name from the
ballot which you vote. The immediate conse-
quence may be disagreeable, but the ultimate
effect will be wholesome and benefcent. Un-
derstand, then, once for all, that we do not
wish you to vote for thief or a fool because
of his politics. If any Republican nominee is
unworthy, You cannot better serve the Republi-
can cause than by refusing to vote for him,
and thus compelling better nominations there
after.
But there are those who, disgusted with a
bad name on the ticket of their party, refuse
to vote at all: and that is every way wrong
and mischievous 1t does nothing toward
securing better nominations m future,
since the good nominees suffer equally with
the bad ones. 1t involves the reputation of
a grave public duty on pretext utterly insult
fcient if not wholly irrelevant.
If every voter would religiously exercise his
Right of Suffrage at each election, taking care
to scratch from his ballot any and every name
which ought not to be there, whether he put
a good name in its place or not, we should
soon have the right sort of nominees every
time. Unprincipled aspirants would no longer
pack primary meetings and buy nominations,
if the inevitable result would be their dis
graceful defeat. Let us all resolve to scratch
every bad nominee, but take scrupulOus care to
vote for every good one!

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

On the 18th of October the States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska
hold elections important in themselves, and
of additional importance by reason OF the
effect they always exert upon the cleo
tions coming later in the year. Penn
sylyania chooses Congressman Ohio, Congress
men and a Secretary of State, Supreme Judge,
Controller, and member of the Board of Pub
lie Works Indiana, Congressman and a Secre-
tary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, AttOrney-Gen-
eral, Superintendent Of Public Instruction, and
Judges of the Superior Court for four dis
tricts Iowa, Congressman, and Secretary OF
State. Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney General,
Registrar and Judges of the Supreme Court ;
and Nebraska q full State ticket and Con-
gressman
We see no reason why each of these elections
should not result in substantial Republican
triumph. Each of them will, unless general
apathy should throw away the contest The ma
iorities in our favor at the corresponding election
two years ago were as follows: Pennsylva-
MIA, 9677; Ohio, 1888; Indiana, 961; Iowa,
24.265; Nebraska, 2,491. This vote was an un-
usually full One of course, in consequence of
the Presidential canvass and the special i'm
portance thus attaching to the October cleo
TONS
The next year. with great falling off in
the vote and a universal lack of interest al
ways experienced in the first year after a
Presidential election, our majOrities stood as
follows: Pennsylvania, 4,j9G; Ohio, 1918 J;
Iowa, 39,145.
We trust to the Republicans Of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska to make a
handsome increase upon these figures on the
eleventh of October.

or overawe the Convention, whereupOn
"Tammany was unnecessarily frightened, and under

men and sending them to Rochester by special train
but this horde was not needed and merely injured Its
employers by outrageous behavior on the way, having

hayed it would seem though Tammany had lost It's

HOW ROME FELL.

We publish this morning from our cor
respondent with the Italian army full details
of the occupation of Rome. His description
confirms all that has been said of the enthu-
sasm with which the people of that city were
prepared to welcome the soldiers of Victor
Emanuel. The narrative is not calculated to
increase confidence in the worldly wisdom of
the Pope, for it seems that on the approach
of the Italian army he armed all the criminals
in the Papal prisons, and formed them INTO
body guard for his defense. These fellows
were so obnoxious to the people of Rome that
they attacked them in the streets, and they
were saved from annihiatiOn only by the
Italian troops taking them prisoners. Subse-
quently the citizens of that part of the city
reserved to the Pope by the terms of the
capitulation made such angry demonstrations
against the troops reserved to him that he
was compelled to call on the Italian com
mander for protection from his own subjects.
These events suggest the impOssibility lof
leaving the Pope with any temporal power
whatever in his hands. The people whom he
has heretofore governed are evidently de-
termined to resist his authority, and he is
helpless to enforce it without the aid of the
King of Italy. The Italian troops have
restored order, and the Pope has appeared
in public without being molested, but is it most
likely that it is because of the presence in the
Leonine city of the Italian troopsf Victor
Emanuel cannot risk his personal popularity by
sustaining the Papal temporal authority in any
part of Rome.
If the Pope is not reduced to strictly spirit
ual authority he will still endanger the peace OF
the Italian Government.
