A MOnstrOus Phenomenon.
LONDON, Oct. Tribune Special-A
Paris letter of the Sd ult. says Louis
Blanc has written letter to the English
people. He says the siege of Paris is a
monstrous phenomenon which is the scan
dial of history. Civilization is prisoner
in Paris and the King of Prussia is the
Attila of the nineteenth century. He
describes the war as Pan Germanism gone
mad. The King of Prussia ought to
have stopped the war after the capitula-
ton of Sedan, when the Empire bad dis
appeared and the Republic was proclaim
ed. The King of Prussia is a desperate
gambler but the bloody game of war may
turn against him.
NJ Louis Blanc concludes If the
English people understand that our cause
is that of the whole wOrld-being that of
justice-it's for it to act; to ponder on
what concerns it. The consequences of
leaving the right of conquest un5ridled,
which, by its indifference, sanctions the
saturnalia of force, risks experiencing
them, and deserves to do so. 1t is the
business of the English people to look TO
1t. Ours is to prove to the world that
our cause is just; and this being under
stood, to die for the right which never
dies or conquer with it.

BERLIN, Oct Tribune special-In
circular disclaiming any intention Of re-
duoing France to a second rate power,
Bismarck says:
The cession of Strasbourg and Metz,
which we seek in their territorial COnnec
ton, implies reduction of the French
territory equal in area to the increase
through Savoy and Nice, the population
of which provinces, obtained from Italy,
was about three-fOUrths of a million.
When it is considered that France,
according to the census of 1868,
numbered thirty-eight million in
habItants, without Algeria; and, with
Algeria, now furnishing material part of
the French war fOrce-42, 900, 900, it
is palpable that a decrease of $50, 900
changes nothing in the importance of
France, as against foreign countries,
while we leave to this great empire the
same clements of power, the possession
whereof in the oriental and Italian wars
enabled it to exercise so decisive an influ-
cncc on the destiny of Europe.

10 the EIltOrs OF the Union and American
SPARTA, Sept. 80, 187O.-Sirs: l see
from a recent issue of your paper, and
from a recent issue of the Republican
Banner that ! am severely criticised for
some remarks reported to have been made
by me in the Congressional Convention
recently assembled at McMinnville, Tenn.
Now, Sirs, | simply have to say that
have not seen any report of my remarks
that have called forth this abuse of N.Y.
self, and am, therefore, wholly ignorant
of the charges for which l am thus held
up to execratiOn by the press, and can,
therefore, make no defense, except simply
deny that l said or did anything in that
Convention that any one could take ex-
ceptiOns to, unless be was Radical or
beast. No SpLenetic, inteB1perats or
incendiGTy LanguGge 10oS inCi,Giged in
6y me.
And if Radical newspaper correspon-
dents garhle my statements and send them
to Northern Radical sheets, is it lust. or
proper for editors in Tennessee to shoy
and hold me up to the public, or to make
me responsible for such CARRIED state
mGuts of Radical newspaper scribblers.
| am not responsible for the statements
Of such men, or fer their unjust inter
pretatiOns of my remarks, and editors
who would seek to hold me accountable
do me great injustice, as has been done
IN this case in your criticism upon nv
remarks, as reported by such Radical
correspondent and then unjustly attribu-
ted to me. There were many gentle
men in that Convention who have
known me for years; such men
as Col. Thomas 3. Murray, Matt
Smart, and the editor of the NesO Era,
at McMinnville, and hosts of others of
renOwn, integrity and honor, and appeal
to them for the truth of this matter, if
they heard anything from me which could
be tortured into a justification for such
attacks as have been made upon me by
your paper and the Banner.
VIII you and the Banner do me the
justice TO publish this and forward ac-
counts for the same. Hoping / NAV
have no further occasion to spend NV
time and means in vindlcating myself
