NEUTRALITY TROUBLES IN 1870

From the Army and Navy Journal
The English papers publish correspond
ence between the Governments of England
and North Germany on the subject of sup
plying arms and material of war TO France.
The British authorities took the same stand
in this as in our war, and from the beginning
of hostilities till now have made no attempt
to prevent the sale of anything either bellige-
rent would buy, with the sole exception of
equipped ships of war-probably the only
thing the Germans would care to purchase
The British authorities started with declaring
in Parliament that Government had the power
20 nrohibit the expectation of contraband of
war but that to do so thoroughly would be to
nut a stunlbling-block in the way of all COM
merce. Afterwards, when Germany proposed
certain measures eonining the prohibition

A NEUTRAL OPINION ON THE ALA
BAMA CASE.

From the ~ y. Nation.
If the Alabama case were referred to arbi-
tration, it would have to be to some German
Government, or to Switzerland, or to Italy.
England would hardly agree to leave it to
Russia, and there is no power outside these
in which either of the parties to the contro-
versy would have any confidence at all, either
as regards intelligence or independence.
Now, when a question of this kind is sub
mitted to the arbitration of Government,
what the Government does is simply to refer
it to one or more of its ablest jurists, and
adopt their finding as its own. If this
case were left to any German Government,
there are two men in Germany to whom
it would almost certainly be referred, Drs.
Won Holtzendorff and Bluntschli. They are
both amongst the weightiest living authorities
on questions of international law, and both
enjoy worldwide reputation. Both, too,
have been importuned for an opinion on the
Alabama case, and both have until now re-
Trained, probably from dislike to even the
appearance of officiousness. DIR. Bluntschli
has however, at last broken silence, and pub
fishes an elaborate opinion on all the points
raised, taking Mr.. summers speech as his
text, in the last number of the Regue de Dr0t
International Before giving his own sunl-
ming up of his decision, we may be per-
mitted to recall to the recollection of our
readers that we have at various times in
these columns, during the pest year, taken
the grouEd:--
l. That the recognition of the South as a
belligerent was discretionary act, and that,
although the United States might go to war
about it, as it might about anything or
nothing, all talk of making it the matter OF
complaint before a tribunal was simply ab-
surd General Grant wisely abandoned it,
by implication, in his first message about
Cuba, In spite OF the labor expended on it by
Messrs. Seward and Sumner.
2. That England had committed breach
Of neutrality duty in letting the Alabama
escape, and for this was bound to atone ts
the United States, at least in damages; an
that her concession Of ebelIigerent sieh 70

1t is only few years since Austria was reck-

In the German Diet she was only one of meuy
Powers who had a right to vote; her voting

although she was eqnal to Austria in voting
right and privilege, her position was, after ali,
secondary. The Emperor of Austria was Pre-
sident of the Diet. The year 1866 revealed
Prussia in new character. In the name of
Germany she, along with Austria, drew a
sharp distinction between Germans and
Danes, or, if the broader term is preferred,
Scandinayians. Poor Austria was blind to the
Scblesvig, Holstein mystery and before the
year 1866 was ended Austria was expelled
from Germany, the Diet was destroyed, and

THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE invite atten-
ton to the statement of the condition of
this company, found in another column.
This company has no stockholders to
absorb profits, but is governed by the
policy holders, among whom all profits
are divided. Commencing operations
twelve years since, it has overcome a
widespread prejudice against Western
companies, and acquired a reputation
for safety, equity, promptness and good
management second to none, and is
now pointed at with just pride as not
only the largest monied institution OF
the West, but the largest life insurance
company west of the seaboard cities,
and occupying a rank second to none
in the whole country. The unparalell-
ed success of this company simply
shows that western men are learning
the advantages of having the sums that
they choose to set aside for the protec-
ton of loved ones kept at home, and
employed in the development of the
country. The policy of their company
is to invest the reserve funds in the dis
tricts where obtained. Hence it posses
ses all the essential qualities of home
company throughout the West.
j. G. Schoonmaker, special agent OF
this company, has headquarters at the
Madison House, in this city.

WAR NEWS.

PARIS, Aug. Ito p. m.
The Empress has issued the following
proclamation:
"FREECHMEN The opening of the
war has not been favorable to US. We
have suffered a check. Let us be firm
under this reverse, and let us hasten 10
repair it. Let there be but one party in
the land-that of France; a single flag
that of the national honor. 1 come
among You faithful to my mission and
duty. You will see me the first in dam
ger to defend the flag of France. ad-
jure all good citizens to maintain order.
To agitate would be to conspire with
our enemies.
(Signed.)
The EMPRESS REGENT UUGENIE."
PARIS, Aug. 9.-There is an immense
uprising of the people of France to re-
pei the Prussian invasion of French
territory. 1t is said officially, that 200,-
600 men are ready to march toward the
Rhine frontier, and that the reserve
corps will number one million men.
The people are ciamorous for military
organization, and for leaders.
The bourse was closed to-day. Eigh-
teen thousand French troops garrison
Strassburg,; which has been prepared
for seige.
The Moselle river dams have been
opened. Metz will be surrounded by
water if the Prussians are successful,
| and make a further advance.
Gen. Foilley is in communication
with Mcmahon. Morale of the army
is excellent. No fighting since the 7th.
In the battle of Freschwiller 10000 of
the enemy attacked $4,000 men under
McMahon.
The Minister addressed the following
proclamation to the Parisians. ''Our
army is concentrated now. Effort has
impaired to it fresh hope and confidence,
but agitation here will lessen the moral
force of the army and act against it.
The French army will be between two
| fires. We prepare for the defense OF
Paris. The deputies will cooperate
with us. Let all good citizens help to
| prevent disorder. Those who wish will
have arms furnished Them"
The morning papers say nothing is
certain concerning the course of Aus
tria. Russia is keeping her quiet with
promises just now.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-3 80 pm.
| The Paris correspondent of the Man
chester Examiner telegraphs that Italy
and Austria will each send 100000 men
| to aid France.
| The Empress, according to the Pal
Hell Gazette, is preparing for flight.
The army at Metz is still undergoing
thorough reorganization.
| The Times ascribes the French disas-
ter to the Emperor's obstinacy in refus.
ing the sound military advice given him.
and to his illness. 1t says parties in
France will make the Emperor pay the
penalty of his ill success. His name il
already ignored in acts by which the
regency seek to rally the people. Thing:
arrange themselves as if he was not eX.
pected to resume his power, and as il
testing how he may be dispensed with
altogether. The only question is, who
will first utter the word abdication.
Edmund About writes from the field
bitterly condemning the Emperor:
management. He says:
Having dictated war, he let the
Prussians begin it. True, neither par
ty was ready yet. The French lost q
days in useless marching and counter
marching. They were surprised a
Weissenburg by an enemy when there
were no videttes to watch, no Skin
mishers to meet, and no settled plan tC
repel.''

WHAT CLARKE HAS DONE FOR THE
SETTLERS.

A few facts will illustrate. There is
no need of denunciation or the use of
rhetoric in the discussion of question
of this kind.
l. Mr.. Clarke has done nothing to
help the settlers on the Neutral Lands.
The question of title still remains unde-
cided. He has attempted to do moth
ing during the last session, because his
silence was purchased.
3. Clarke would do nothing to help
the settlers on the Black Bob lands, be-
cause he is member of the Black Bob
ring to steal the lands. Senator Ross
finally got the whole matter transferred
to Congress without prejudice to the
rights of settlers.
3. Senator Ross got bill passed
through the Senate for the sale of the
New York lands to settlers at $3.50 per
acre. The hill sleeps in the House. Mr..
Clarke made no attempt ty get it pass
ed.
4. Senator Ross got a bill passed
through the Senate to sell the Cherokee
strip, about 400 600 acres, to settlers at
| to pass it through the House.
5. Senator Ross got bill passed
through the Senate to sell the Quapaw
| Clarke made no attempt TO get the bill
passed through the House, where it YET
sleeps.
6. He has made no attempt to have
the Kansas reserve, $4,000 acres, open
ed up to settlers.
This is the record of the "great states
man" on the land questionable his
championship of settlers.-Ld'crenct
