The Sentinel has considerable to say about
the "Invisible Editor" of the Standard, and
would lead the public into the belief that
Messrs. Turner and Moore are the authors
OF all the editorial articles which appear in
that paper.-------------. .a9i719
h Does the Sentinel deny that the Invisible
Editor" editor of that paper wrote the
article which appeared the 2sd of Septem-
Der under the head of-"The Present Con-
stitution ~
b. 1t is well known that the Invisible Edi-
tor of the Sentinel is a preacher; and the
old saying "that people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" applies
with much force just at this juncture.
The trail of the Old Serpent is as plain as
day whenever an article appears from the
pen of the Invisible Editor" of the Sentinel.
The editors of the Standard are as yet un-
announced, but the names of two men ap-
pear at the head of the Sentinel as the only
editors of that paper. and in the back

On Their Knees.

The Sentinel of this morning is begging.
The burden of carrying on the State gov
eminent must soon rest npon the Democratic
party. To do this, taxes must be laid. The
Democracy have walked up to the fact that
taxation must be heavy. So the people are
told that they must not expect too much
of the General Assembly," and " that it will
be imperious upon the General Assembly to
provide as best it may, to meet the demands
which may arise with promptness, and the
people must cheerfully aid them as far as
possible, in maintaining the credit of the
State" So the truth comes out at last
Why was not this advice given to the peo-
pie months agol The State credit has been
shipwrecked by panic-panic created by the
Democratic party every effort was made to
induce thepeople to rebel against necessary
taxation. ra, aH ar
The fiuanoiuf difficulties of the State hare
been brought about as much by the action
of the Democratic party as the Republican
party. Ii there has been corruption, Demo-
Gratis have, in every instance, been parties
to that corruption. For every Republican
guilty of corruption We will point out
Democrat who was colleague with the Repub-
lican in that corruption. 80 g. .s.-,' (.
We are satisfied that there was deliber-
ate, studied plan on the part of the Demo-
cratic party to break down the credit of the
State and charge the disaster to the Repub-
lican party. Damaging representations have
been made in New York. The people of the
Site had been deceived and alarmed the OBJ
ject was accomplished-and now, the Demo-
cratic party proceed to lay upon the people
not only heavy burdens to repair the past, but
to provide for the future. The people must
be taxed or repudiate. ald4f br's

France and Prussia Tsfnss fsaee.'
There is no signs of peace at present
There may be after the fall of Paris. What
ever may be the terms which Prussia de-
mands of France, in order to secure final
and lasting peace, they cannot be more Sc
we're than those imposed by the first Napo-
leon upon Prussia in 1907. The old saying
that pigeons come home to roost," is APP
plcable at this point. Alsace and Lorraine,
with their fortified towns, maybe reclaimed
to Germany, and France may be compelled
to pay the war debt, which cannot be- less
than $50O,OOO,OOo. 49,, e.,rq sf..f
I If the war ends and substantial Repub-
lican government is established, the French
people wall be exceedingly fortunate to have
exchanged an empire for republic. Of
course, we regret the cost at which such a
glorious result must be achieved, but it is
an i'll wind that blows nobody any good"
We do not believe that the empires, mon
arches and kingdoms of Europe will allow
a republic to be fostered and established in
France. 1t is directly against their interests,
and will eventually be the cause of wars and
the downfall of every empire and kingdom.
The effect of Republic, where Liberty and
Freedom exists as it does in America, could
not be otherwise. 10 Ge53 4. $50, III,
We do not blame Prussia for demanding
Alsace and Lorraine, buff France refuses
to give up territory and peace cannot be, OBJ

Our dispatches of yesterday brought the
news that all the arrangements for lombard
ment or assault Of Paris were about compile
ted. The Prussians can cut of, all supplies
from Paris and compel Trochu to surrender
without firing gun. This would probably
require two months, and during that time a
large number of Frenchmen could be arm
ed and placed in the field and that would
bring on desperate struggle outside the
walls of Paris. The defeat of the French
would give the city to the Prussians; . de-
feat of the Prussians would be anniailation.
If the plan is to reduce the city at the earl
lest moment, we may expect to hear that the
bombardment has commenced. The forts
Mont Valerien and De Issy will be jstormed.
with the prospect of losing great many
lives in the undertaking, but there is no
telling what can be done without trying.
That Paris will fall, and that very soon, we
entertain no doubt. a,ff ,,.r-.r. IN

. The telegraph announces that Russia is
thrown into some agitation by the posture
of affairs in the West, and well may she be
Alarmed. when Prussia demands as one of
the conditions of a, Peace with France, the
surrender of her splendid Baltic fleet.
Twenty years ago Prussia had a single
.frigate. Now the North German Confeder-
alton, welded by Prussia, has very re-
spectacle and rapidly growing navy. Add
to this, the pick of the French navy, and
this Confederation will spring suddenly into
the position Of the second naval Power in
Europe. All that is necessary is. to supple
ment the large iron clads she would thus
acquire, with number of smaller draft,
such as Russia has, and then the Confeder.
alton will be as powerful on sea as on land.
England too, has cause for some anxiety on
the same score. Recent events have relieved
her of the fears which were beginning to
disturb her nerves on account Of the rapidly
growing power of the French on the sea-
but the substitution OF Prussia for France
again reviyes her anxieties. Has not En-.
glend greater reason to fear Prussia with
a powerful navy than she ever had to fear
France9 Will not the Teuton race be more
formidable rivals in this new sphere than
the French 2 The Germans are largely COM
mercial. vastly enterprising, and control the
great active capital Of the world. Let this
enterprise, energy and capital be once
launched against Britannia's dominion of
the seas, and there will be greater grounds
for anxiety throughout the British nation
than ever hitherto existed.

From many different parts OF the country
comes the intelligence of the formation of
companies having for their aim and object
the production of ice by artificial MEANS
1t is to be regretted that these enterprises
were not perfected last June or July. As it
is, they have before them abundant time for
preparation let them get their machinery
and means of distributing its products in
good working order during the coming win
ter and spring, and with the first hot spell
of 1871 they can enter on large and profit
able business. The consumption of ice in
creases with each succeeding year, while
the means of supply have hitherto been of a
costly and most precarious character.

And now the official paper of King Viii
liam's Government acknowledges that an
anti-Prussian feeling exists in the South
German States. The Gazette denounces the
priests as instigators of this feeling of what
it calls revolt, murder and hostile alliances.
We think, however, we have heard those
murmurs before. The desolate homes in
South Germany, the SONS of Baden and Ba-
varia exposed to death in order to crush
freedom, are the only priests who excite
this emnity to the Prussian throne. It may
be revolt at home, and hostile alliances, but
but it is murder under the walls of Paris
Each week of the siege will create discomfort
in Germany, as did in the North the inac-
tivity of Mcclellan on the Potomac. The
spark of freedom has been lighted in Ger
many as we'll as in France. We watch for
the fame that is sure to follow. ..u,

to regain conrtol of the National govern

They were robbed Of their most valuable
property, to let them tell it : and just as
soon as they succeed to power in any State,
they show their Glover Foot. The Demo

demands the re organization Of the Asy-

the reputation of the State debt, and all
private debts; and to cap the climax the
Hillsboro' Recorder demands payment for
