manity." Female politicians are ssnguine in
France as in New York, however. Very small
scorns become great oaks in their eyes.
As for Victor Hugo, he is Micawber redivi-
vus. He has pelted the world in general with
his letters for years and years, from his
heights in Jersey, and now he rushes on the
Prussians with this last epistle, as though
they we're one gigantic Heep, to be demol-
ished by twirl OF his pen. 1t appears to
us peaceful outsiders that he reveals the plan
of the campaign more imprudently than is
the usage with military men. behind the
ramparts," /" he assures them, ''there are bar
ricadesl and behind the barricades the sewers
will be filed with powder, which-pif! paff!
booml-will blow them all up quite into the
airll" Should they survive the sewers, he
proceeds to inform them, they will be OBJ
liged to take Paris in detail, each stone and
brick having the intention of making
separate fight of its own. ''Eu-
rope designs to be slaughtered on that
spot, and the great light of French liberty
must be extinguished soul by soul" Con-
sidering the facts that the French people
have hitherto proved themselves very expert
in playing the game of follow-my- leader in
masses to liberty or despotism, and that Eu-
rope is just now busy in keeping her skirts
as clear as possible of the scrape, we must
listen to his prophecies with certain measure
of allowance. He has his own doubts of
Paris, apparently, and of the apathy with
which she has seen him march to the front.
''She sleeps, but she will awake, he cries;
''her incidence will give you the measure
ment of her energy, which is a mode of
measurement of energy only to be imagined
by a Hugo.
Seriously, q great name should never be
allowed to cover folly. The mistake in French
politics has always been that it was pie
wide enough for every mans finger. Poets
and novelists have taken the lead as often as
statesmen, and the impressible Partisan was
as ready to follow one as the other. Victor
Hugo is in some regards great man, a poet
and novelist, with free, liberal views, but
singularly destitute of the common sense,
aplomb, and practical insight needed in a
political leader at this crisis, when not only
the Government but the very existence of
the nation is in peril. We would be glad to
perceive no such symptoms in his condition
as these heated, unmeaning cries; or, if they
must be uttered, to find they we're thought
WORTHY of no notice. France has listened to
such mongers of farrago before, and always
to her own detriment. We have faith
enough, too, in Victor Hugo to believe him
capable of better things. We would prefer
to find him with rifle in his hands than
shouting to the Germans mysterious warn
ings of sewers full of powder. The walls of
Jericho fell, we are told at the blast of q
rams horn. But we have altered all that.
Something more than the blowing of ram s
horn will be needed to defend Paris.

opinion of 0'Neill, saying with solemn truth
fulness that 'greater men"--to wit, John Ser
geant and Horace Binney-''have filed the
place before him." that ''his party is tired of
him, and think four terms enough for man
of his calibre." 1t then adds sneeringly:-
whether Mr.. Ceeeley is any improvement
on MIR. ONeill is problem on which we can
shed no light" but it solvesit by recommend
ing both to be thrown overheard.
This arranged the Tribune suggests the
proper man, the venerable Mr.. Carey, whose
speeches on prohibition would be listened to
with the same ecstatic delight with which his
lively essays are now read; or the younger gen.
tleman with the hilarious name Mr.. e. Joy
Morris, who, having been seven years in Tar
key, is now at leisure to represent the Quaker
Christians But the Tribune is leading our
Philadelphia friends far astray. Does Mr.
Greeley call this supporting President Grant3
Every one knows, and none better than the
Tribune, that when the Secretaryship of the
Treasury was offered to that arch-free-trader,
Mr. Stewart, the heart of the venerable Phi
ladelphia prohibitionist was nearly broken,
and q vow more terrible than Hamilcars
(and which his bitter temper enables
him to keep went up that President
Grant should never be forgiven. AS to the
youthful alternate of the Tribune, the case is
still worse and the wound fresher. Mr.. Morris
was in Constantinople, doing his duty wisely
and well, when Simon Cameron demanded
his removal, and the substitution of gentle
man of melodious name, his own son-in-law,
Mr.. Wayne McVeigh. Withouta scruple the
deed was done, and Morris, who had been
useful, like Motley, who had been useless, was
conscripted into the new army of martyrs.
His support of the administration which thus
dealt with him would, we fear, be very
equivocal Really, our neighbor presumes
too far on human stupidity. Our suggestion
to Philadelphia would be, if we may meekly
venture one, that if her citizens are anxious
to regain the ancient renown, the loss of
which the Tribune so piteously deplores
they should rally round the Democratic can
didate, Mr.. Cuyler, man of talent, charac-
ter, and standing, who would do honor to the
community and to Congress, and make his
constituents, in their pride, forget there was
ever such jarring atoms as ONeill and Cree
ley, or SO rash and impertinent, if not subtle
and malignant, counsellor as the Tribune.
An open foe is better than a false friend.
That the Tribune should wish to punish
Grant, after Saratoga, is natural enough, we
suppose. But even the Philadelphia radicals
can hardly care to be made the tools of Mr..
Greeley's implacable spite.

MIOAWBER IN FRANCE.

from the ~. Y. Tribune.
Victor Hugo is a man of genius; besides,
as everybody knows, he is freedoms high
priest, and, we have no doubt, goes about, as
he says, with the sacred elixir of liberty
coursing through his veins instead of blood;
and George Sand can marry and unmarry her
heroines with more admirable celerty than
any novel-monger of them all. But, consi-
dered as fighting pair, their mode of war
fare, we humbly contend, is open to criti-
cism. They have rushed to the front with
dauntless vigor, and hurled each of them a
closely written sheet Of letter-paper at the
foe. But is the best means of assaulting the
Germans in the present crisis that of the
penny post True, in ordinary times, a man

and running for life if one of M. Hugo's epis-
ties were pumped fairly at him. We have

periences to remember. We know what it is
to mentally drown in tidal wave of frothy
beer. But the situation now, we submit, is
Imminent Wilhelm has a thick skin and
good many men to back him. We fear that
Paris will find other defenses necessary than
Hugo and Sand caekling on the parapets.
The lady, it is true, keeps out of shooting
range, and safely chants and gesticulates far
of her admiration Of the republic. Perhaps
if she were actually in Paris, with the enemy
at the gates and famine impending, she would
find the third awakening of liberty less ideally
beautiful. The plump little woman poses
like the prophecies Deborah, and evidently
deems herself mother in Israel. All the
world is hopeful now for France, and earnest
men see symptoms in the present revolution
more healthful and indicative of progress
towards real liberty than any which have pre-
csded it; but nobody. We fear, will join her
in holding up Paris Just now as ''the normal

sires, or the inevitable end Of the toll of ha-

THE FOREIGN PRESS ON THE COL
LAPSE OF THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

From the N. Il. Herald.
By our latest mails from Europe we receive
the first opinions of the British and Cont
mental press with reference to the surrender
at Sedan and the general collapse of the Ma
poleonic system. The London Times, whose
opinion is still cited as most important, al
though in actual news the press of New York
has left it fan behind during the remarkably
rapid progress of the existing war, uses
highly figurative language in the first gush of
its astonishmenG. Under date of September
it says;-'The volcano has burst! The
surrender of the Emperor and the capitula-
alone Such tidings would make the earth
open, and the earth has opened at Paris +"
so soon as the intelligence of the Emperor's
captivity was published the empire was at an
end" Farther on, after sketching the facts
of the movement in the French capital and
the uprising of the republic, it adds;-"It

DISTRESSING AFFAIR.
Young Man Drowned and Two Hundred
People Witness His Dying SrruggIes,

Friday afternoon last, at o'clock, distress
ing affair occurred at Dickson's Pond near New
burg, N. Y, in the drowning of young man
named Thomas Mccullough, in full sight of two
hundred people who were on the pond. It
seems that Mr.. Mccullough, lin company with q
friend, came up from New Windsor early in the
afternoon for the purpose of skating on the
pond and enjoyed themselves for several hours
in that recreation. In the course of the after
noon number of persons broke through the
ice and some of them were only saved with the
greatest difficulty. When it was seen that
the sport was attended with danger, that
many left the pond. The deceased and
his friend, however, continued skating,
and at about o'clock both of them broke
through the ice within a few feet of each other,
Mr.. McCullough's friend by dint of swimming
and breaking his way through the ice managed
to get where the water was shallow and made
his way out But Mr.. Mccullough was less for
time, the ice breaking away under his grasp
He had fallen in where the water was very deep.
At first he seemed confident, as did those who
were watching him, that he would succeed in
getting out on the ice, and he struggled on with
out uttering word. But 1t soon became evil
dent that his strength was falling. ...
There were at this time from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred persons on the pond. Ropes
and planks were brought and thrown out to him,
and now every effort that could be made was
him to keep up his courage, and help would soon
reach him, but the drowning man made no
answer, ard kept struggling on. He grasped
rope that was thrown to him, and an effort was
made to draw him out of the water, but his be-
numbed fingers could not retain hold of the
rope, and it was pulled away from him. Again
and again was it thrown to him. and with the
same fruitless results. Parties approached to
within twenty feet of him, and pushed out
boards to him, but he was unable 10 avail him
self of the help thus offered His strength was
now almost spent A boat was got out from the
Shore but this aid came too late. The drown
ing youth was seen to open his lips-which all
the time of this struggle for life, ten minutes,
had been kept tightly closed-and attempted to
the ears of the bystanders, for just then his
struggles ceased and he disappeared beneath
the surface D OIL. .. .....

THE MISSING STEAMSHIPS.
rhe Passengers of the City of Bostor


No further tidings were received yesterday in
regard to the missing steamers City of Boston
and Smidt. The agents of both these vessels
still profess to feel no alarm, and the agent of
the latter particularly said in reply to an inter
rogatory that he expected every day to hear of
her arrival under canvas in some port.
Among the passengers on the City of Boston.
for Europe, are Mr.. and Mrs Allen Ebbes' OF
New York. Mrs. Ebbes is the daughter of The
late DIR. Cotton.
Another of the passengers on the City of Bos
ton is John 8. Bailey, of Cleveland, Ohio. He il
unmarried, is twenty-six years old, has resided
in that city six or seven years, and worked in
the bottling works of Norris & Rundell. III
has properly in Michigan to the amount O
$4,000 or $4,000, and two brothers lived there
but the settlement of the estate of one of them
lately deceased, necessitated his going to Eng,
land. He took passage on the steamer, which
fact, however, was unknown to any but hi
roommate, Mr.. j. G. d. Henderson, who ha
now written to the surviving brother il
Michigan.
