"MY POLICY.
From the Memphis Avalanche.

From the memphis AUdtdfche.
We are not surprised at the course EXPIRE
sident johnson sees fit to pursue. Our OPT
nion of the motives which govern him has
not changed within the twelvemonth. Those
who censured the ADaJanche year ago for
opposing Mr.. Johnson's aspirations for the
Senate will now see that they, and not the
AgdIanche, were mistaken as to his character
and aims. We see no reason to recall a line
or word printed in this journal then. Time
has shown the ex-President possessed of the
spirit we then imputed to him-a spirit
which would sink every other interest
conflicting with his own. A year ago
the ex-President made desperate
struggle for the Senatorship and lost. After
a years burrowing in seclusion he re-emerges
for another contest of the same kind. The
speech at Gallatin last Saturday was the first
gun of the campaign, designed to defeat
General Brown, if possible if not, to at least
Johpsonize the next Legislature. 1t turns
out that, stripped of its grandiloquence, 'My
Policy" is that policy which will most easily
hoist Andrew Johnson into the Senate. Last
year Mr.. Johnson's artillery was resistance to
impeachment-a struggle endorsed by Con-
servatives North and South He was beaten.
Now he re-enters the field with other weapons,
and with renewed strength and vigor.
He is not content with securing the
b1oad, open plains for living issues, but goes
down among the dead men, and exhumes the
bones long crumbling to dust. These, though
dissolving in his hands, he brandishes exult-
ingly over his head, as savage brandishes
his war club. His battle-cry is, revenge, and
his weapons are those which were buried at
Appomattox. Digging up the dead body Of
secession, he proposes to employ it as a
bludgeon to batter down the New Tennessee
born of the Constitutional Convention, hop
ing to step from its ruins to the summit of
his ambition. He knows that General Brown
never believed the doctrine of secession.
He knows that gentleman would not stand
upon a platform repugnant to his princi-
pies; and he knows that the convention in
nowise endorsed secession or any other
dead issue. But he looks for followers
to reviving the bitter animosities of the war,
when passion and prejudice ruled; and when
the few purblind Bourbons who still foster
this baleful spirit were less powerless for
mischief. Andrew Johnson represents one,
they the other extreme. One strives to build
up hatreds against moderate men, who be-
lieve the war over; the other seeks to incite
them against secessionists. Both misrepre-
sent the South to the world, and both blindly
obey the impulse of self. Mr.. Johnson's
course in the Senatorial campaign was arrant
demagogery. The A0alanche a year ago
exposed him as the demagogue everybody
now knows him to be.

THE PRUSSIAN LINE OF COMMUNI.
CATION.
From the N. Y. Herald.

Now that King William has set down with
his army to invest Paris, it becomes matter
of interest to inquire how his long communi-
cations are to be kept open. The siege may
be long one, for the French army inside is
fighting in its last ditch and hopes everything
from time; and the Notifications of the city,
even in the weakest point, are formidable
enough to suggest the slower mode of reduc-
ing them by mines and parallels approaches
rather than the more precarious and bloody
mode of storm and bombardment. King
Williams army, therefore, if the siege is pro-
tracted, will require food, ammunition, cloth
ing, medicines, and the other necessities of
an army, and he must look to his communi-
cations for the means of supplying them.
The main line of communication open at
present is the great Srasburg Railroad,
which runs from the Prussian camp at Paris
to Strasburg, through Chalons, Baf-le Duo,
Nancy, and Luneville to the Rhine, andwhich
is held by the Prussians almost throughout
its entire route. At Nancy, however, it con-
meets with another railroad running northeast.
through Metz and Saarbruck, into Prussia.
and by connections to Ooblentz and Mayence.
At Metz the Prussians have been busy build
ing a branch road running round the fortress.
so that there need be no breaking of bulk
from the heart of Germany to the besieging
army at Paris. This is the route over which
King William transports the supplies for his
army, a distance of about two hundred and
seventy miles, in the enemy's country.
So far we have heard of no determined
efforts to cut off his supplies by breaking up
this line. Prussian troops in strong detach-
ments from the besieging armies at Toul and
Metz hold the important positions on the
eastern end of the line, and other detach-
ments, probably from the main army before
Paris, preserve the westerly portion intact
These are doubtless able to beat off any
cavalry attack that may be made upon them,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-09-24

and are supplied literally with material to
repair the road where it is damaged by their
enemy. The French infantry cannot damage
IL materially, for It cannot be spared from the
more important work of raising the siege in
force strong enough to hold the line for any
length of time, and, as q stronger reason yet
for its security, King William would certainly
make up any deficiency thus created in his
supplies by levying only the more
heavily upon the comparatively fresh country
in which he is now operating. The long line
of railroad communication which General
Sherman kept open from Atlanta to Nash
vile, and, in fact, to Louisville, was much
more difficult to maintain than the present
one maintained by King William. Shermans
line was longer; the country was infested
with guerillas, of whom the rear of the Prus-
sian army seems to be singularly free; he
was lily provided with material for repair
ing the road the country in which he ope-
rated had already been impoverished by the
long war which it had undergone, and his
army was dependent daily, almost hourly,
on the supplies which came over this one
single-track railroad. Yet it will be re-
membered how completely he kept this
line intact. The trains which brought
him provisions and supplies were not
detained twenty-four hours on the route at
any time, and his army never once felt any
greater need for clothing or food or ammuni-
ton than was occasioned all through our civil
war, even in recruiting camps, by the negli-
gence or incapacity of our quartermaster,
commissary, or ordnance departments. Judg-
ing from this standpoint, and from the facts
in the case as set forth above, King William
may rest easy as 10 communication with his
base. He will not be starved out. He has
nothing to fear on that score-nothing on
any score. but the vigilance and determine
tion of his enemy within the walls of Paris,
the rapid movement and skilful management
of his enemies outside the walls of Paris and
the impatient mutterings of revolution that
begin to be heard in the heart of his own
Germany.

WOMAN IN THE FORUM.
From the N. Y. Times.

From the ". Il. 1Ete8.
Of all the novel pursuits to which women
have been led under the inspiration of pro-
gress, or whatever other agency has lured
them from familiar, if homely ways of
kitchen and nursery, the law seems the one
best adapted to their abilities and most pro-
missing of ultimate distinction In the minis
try they seem trihe out of place. In medi-
cine they seem to have q better claim, for
they are natural-born nurses and apothecaries
But here, again, there may be difficulties,
which we need not dwell on, but which are
no less patent now than when Margaret
Brandt found them insurmountable in the
days of ''The Cloister and the Hearth" For
services in war women have always been
shown to possess special aptitude.
But in law the main thing, in common
cases, is to talk, and the last word often turns
the balance of victory. There woman finds
herself at home, and it must be dexterous
weaver of words who will overcome her in
the management of her chosen weapon She
has precedent, too, to uphold her. for, not
to mention Portia, most winning of advo-
Gates, albeit only lovely vision, there was
Hortensia, the Miss Cozzens, shall we say, of
Cicero's day, vivid and vigorous reality,
who held her own with the ablest jurists of
the forum. In the courtroom, too, SO long
as her sisters do not claim the right to mono
police bench and jury-box, her charms will
be help and not hindrance. A melting
glance will do more to convince wayering
juryman than the most elaborate arguments
smile will avert, perhaps, an adverse ruling;
and, as in the days of Phryne, learning and
law will fail before the eloquence of beauty.
With all these advantages, it is somewhat
surprising that the legal profession has at
tracted SO few from the enlightened cham
pionsof essivewomanhood. Miss Lemma
Barkaloo, we believe, was admitted to all the
privileges of the ST. Louis Bar, and her late
associates have just been passing resolutions
of mourning for her untimely demise. Miss
Phebe Cozzens was said to be in training for
the same goal, but seems to have been en-
tioed away by the aliurements of Sorosis and
the glitter Of suffrage meetings. Mrs. Morris,

be comforted. It is such blasting and burn
ing shame that these "barbarians" should get
the better of ''the finest army Of civilized
times" Very reprehensible!
Such are the views of thegentleman in Mo
bile. 1t is in this way that he "condenses
the essence of events" 1t is from q lofty
philosophical pedestal that he declares M.
Hugo ''step by step to have descended to the
lowest degree of social and political infany."
For one who announces himself as Ga Demo-
orat," and who has no condemnation for a
lunatic conspiracy which sought the over
throw of our own Government, and the social
anarchy with which the Rebellion threatened
the Republic, it strikes us that this persons
affection for law and order, as petriied 1--WE
cannot say embodied) in the person of Bona
parte, is somewhat hard to be understood
There can be no "Republicanism in France
redder than the pseudo -Republicanism which
the Shareholders Rebellion was set afoot to
promote. Do all good ex-slaveholders, even
in their low estate, feel called upon to sing
hosannahs to an ex-tyrant even in his low
estate If so, let them sing. But, by all
means, let them also find somebody who is a
real, honest, rational Secessionist to lead the
music, and not this humbug of Mobile phi
losopher.

Hot Shot,

The hot shot or red hot balls which tho
French and the Prussians are reported to
have used during the present war arc
entirely different from the explosive pro-
jcctiles or rockets. They arc solid balls,
heated in furnaces and fired from common
guns or mortars. When the cartridge Is
in the gun. q prop of wet felt Is ranilned
on top of 1t. Two of the gunners, (sonie-
times only ono) get hold Of the ball with
iron tongs and let 1t run into the muzElo
of the gun. and then the cannon Is fired in
the ordinary manner. In liou of tho wet
felt very often piece Of turf is rammed
against the cartridge, the red hot ball roll
cd on tho top of 1t, and the gun fired. The
shot Is scarcely ever certain, because tho
operation Of loading and directing the
gun always goes on with great rapidity
and under tho impression of imminent
danger to the gunners. In former times
the felt cover Of the cartridge was 50 thin
that the red hot ball set tho cartridge on
fire mt once and made the shot 20 of with
out tho interference of the gunnors. This
made Il n still more uncertain shot, and
the new method of wad about two
inches In thickness has been adopted. II
Is used TO set ships and shinglc roofs on
fire. The now hollow bombshells, filled
with explosive matter and shot from how
itzers. have now replaced In almost every
case tho shooting with red hot solid balls,
and 1t Is very probable that these explo-
sive bombshells Of small calibre are meant
when the dispatches speak Of rcd hot balls
fired into towns. Soldiers. however, who
served In the late Prissian war against
Austria. assure us that the. Prussians had
furnaces In the train Of the army TO make
red hot shot Of solid balls. l h =
