never adequately represented the city which

TIE PEACE DEMOCRATS or EUROPE.

TIE PEACE DEMOCRATS or EUROPE.
One or two American newspapers have laid
great stress upon the protests uttered by some
of the advanced Radicals of Germany against
% continuation of the war, and seem to mag
inc that these occasional manifestations indi-
cate the growth of public opinion in the
Prussian domniOns which will soon force
Bismarck to make peace on the best terms he
can enforce. No nation ever yet went to war
without being more or less embarrassed by n
peace party at home, and certainly the opin-
ions of peace Democrats like DR.. Jac0by, in
Germany, have no more significance in rela-
ton to the present war with France than tho
violence of peace Democrats like The World
had with reference to the ro-Slavery Rebel
lion of 1861. There is no reason to think that
the opposition in Germany is gaining any
Roadway, or extends beyond a party whose
principles have long been publicly announced,
ana whose strength has been pretty well
measured. We published some time ago u
careful history of the International Associa-
ton of Workingmen, with which the German
peace party IL identiiiod,-an Association which,
on principle. objects not only to u war for tho

We give hearty commentator TO the re-
ported purpose of the Commissioner Of Pen
sions to continue the prosecution of Roderc
X. Butler for pension frauds, without the
slightest reference to his reelection. If Mr..
Butler is found guilty, the House can soon
relieve the question of any embarrassment
arising from his membership. The existence
of such charges against Republican Congress
man lis disgrace a failure to punish such
guilt Of guilt be proved would he infamy. Let
Mr.. Butler face the investigation, and let us
