voking calamities like weissepburg, Grave
lotte, and Sedan.
II France is thus relieved, once and for
ever, of the dynasty which has drained her
life's blood, and if the Bonspartes are hence
forth as deeply despised as the Bourbons,
higher and better future may become .possi-
BILE for the nation which has run through the
whole gamuH of government. Two repub-
lican experiments have been crushed by the
Nspoleons Selfish and ambitious to the last
degree, thsy have used their popularity with
the people to destroy popular power, while
the oversh Allowing lustre Of their reputation
has kept honest patriots in the background,
and consigned to obscurity all who would not
become the slaves of Imperialism.
From the very depth of her present misfor-
tunes, the wise and good men of France can
therefore draw consolation. Another oppor-
tunity is offered to establish "a government
of the people for the people," while the ob-
stacle which has baffled both her previous re-
publican efforts is destroyed. For the mo-
ment confusion, passion, mortified pride,
sense of danger, and thirst for vengeance
may blind the eyes of statesmen and citizens
to their true duty in the present crisis.
But after they have time to res-
son, they will net be slow to
comprehend and appreciate the permanent
advantages which are interningled with their
temporary disasters. The annihilation of
imperialism may compensate them for the
loss of their armies, and if they are enabled
to build up a permanent republic on the
ruins of Bonapartism, its successful workings
will take the sting from the German victo-
ries.
Political education progresses slowly, even
in the most enlightened countries, and there
are many lessons which can be effectually
learned only in the dear school of experience.
Unhappy France has had terrible schooling
of this description, but if she can sum up
sufficient philosophy to look upon the in
vasion, with all its attendant horrors, as a
bitter yet necessary and instructive warning
against the repetition of her political errors,
and as final death-blow to every form of in
ternal tyranny, she will become moral vic
tor after all, and profit more by her military
overthrow than by a thousand martial
triumphs inspired by love of vain glory and
achieved by carrying devastation abroad and
by establishing despotism at home.

THE RECORDERSHIP.

THE release of dangerous burglar by Re-
corder Givin few days ago has raised the
question often agtated before as to the
utility of the Office of Recorder, and whether
it might not be abolished with advantage.
The act of consolidation, apparently unin-
tentionaly, neglected to make any mention
of the Recorder, and in consequence the
Office has continued to exist under sort of
sufferance and SO long as the occupant of
the office gave no cause for complaint, it
might be allowed to exist for an indefinite
period. 1t is very serious question, how
ever, whe her an officer who is not the Judge
of court should be allowed to exercise the
great powers that the Recorder does, and at the
next session of the Legislature the question
of abolishing the Recordership ought to be
seriously considered This is the more neces-
sary as Recorder Givin has shown a disposi-
ton to WELD greater powers than apparently
belong to him. Not long ago he discharged
prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus, thereby
assuming an authority that every one sup
posed was taken away from the Recorder at
the time of the abolition of the Mayors
Court; and in accepting bail for Landman
without consulting the District Attorney, he
proved that he considered himself entirely
independent of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, and under no obligation
to observe its rules. These things prove
that the powers of the Recordership are dan
gerous to the community when exercised by
an improper person, and it is very evident
that Office either ought to be abolished or
placed under some restraints, aad be made
responsible to some competent authority.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-09-06

of bail which he demanded, and under all the
circumstances Of the case il might certainly
have been supposed that an unusual amount
Of care would have been exercised in scruti-
nizing the character of the security offered
Instead of this, we find the District Attorney
frst reAecting severely upon the Recorder
and refusing to have any official intercourse
with him, and then, with the COM
pliance of the Judge, committing precisely
the same error of judgment. The affair is
curious at least, and it is not to be wondered
at, in the light of such transaction,
that the rogues who prey upon society are
apt TO esteem themselves superior to the law.
Public opinion will demand from Judge ALI
sen and District Attorney Sheppard a salts
factory explanation of their reasons for re-
leasing Mason in the manner that they did,
and they WILL have to make out better case
for themselves than Recorder Givin has done
for himself before they will be excused for
what now appears to be gross piece of
carelessness.

OURTONE

On Saturday a rather curious incident oc-
Cured in the Court of Quarter Sessions,
which, as a sort of afterpiece to Recorder
Givin's straw bail performance, is deserving
of very much the same kind of criticism. An
individual named George Mason, charged
with burglary and carrying a concealed
deadly weapon, had hearing on writ of
hG6eaS corpus, and Judge Allison, after listen
ing to the testimony against him, decided to
hold him in $1,000 bail on both counts The
counsel for the accused gave notice that he
would offer bail before the Recorder on Tues
day next. To this District Attorney Sheppard,
apparently overcome with virtuous indigna-
ton that such thing should even be sug-
gested in view of the recent unpleasant cir
cumstance with which the Recorder was con-
nected, said that he should decline to go be-
fore Recorder Givin for any such purpose,
and that the bail must be entered in court
After such a declaration as this on the part
of the District Attorney, it is rather startling
to learn that John Stephenson, professional
bail -goer, stepped forward in Masons behalf,
and 4cdS accepted on SloedT1Rg that he lcGS
a0OTth thirteen thousand dollars and describing
his real estate. The complaint against Re-
corder Giyin is that he did
not require the individual who offered
himself as bail for Landman to produce his
title-deeds, but here We have precisely the
same kind of proceeding in the Court of
Quarter Sessions, and it is difficult to under
stand the indignation of the District Attor-
ney against the Recorder when he and the
President Judge are both willing to accept
the oath and description of property of a
professional bail-goer as sufficient security
in case of this kind. This man Mason was
accused of having been concerned in an OK
tensiye burglary, and a very plain case was
made out against him That the Judge con-
sidered his guilt something more than
probable was shown by the large amount

THE PRELIMINARY CENSUS RETURNS of Phila-
delphia which we published on Saturday, in
advance of our contemporaries, although in
teresting, are probably incomplete for all the
wards, as they fall, in every instance, below
the returns given in 1860. In that year the
returns of the respective wards of this oity
were as follows:--First, 1886; Second,
%, 1923; Third, 1929; Fourth, 23, 461 Fifth,
"a, 792 Sixth, II, sS2; Seventh, 81, 967; Eighth,

second, 7,173; Twenty third, 90, 9S5; Twenty
fourth, 90, ,73S-total, 565, ,529. The number
of wards has since been increased from twen-
ty-four to twenty-eight, and the new divi-
sions must be remembered by those who
wish to make careful comparisons. The prin-
cipal increase of population is to be looked
for in the newly-built-up portions of the
city, where many thousands of houses have
been erected during the last ten years. In
portions of the moro central districts so
many dwellings have been converted into
stores or Offices that their resident population
has rather diminish than increased.

been totally destroyed by the fatal blunders
of the late Emperor. If the hero of Marengo

TIE FRENCH have constantly alleged that
their country was swarming with Prussian
spies, and the invaders have certainly been
wonderfully we'll apprised of all the move
ments of MacMahon and Bazaine. Won
Moltke has known exactly not only how to
strike, but when and where his blows could be
most effective. 1t is highly probable, in view
of Napoleons tortuous career, that the accu-
racy of this information was assured by the
treachery of some of his chosen confdants,
and that of the many men whom he has
foully wronged some one stationed at his
elbow has betrayed every secret which could
be useful to his armed foes. The first Napo-
leon had bis Fouche, and when the secret his
tory of the present one is written mankind
will learn who has betrayed Napoleon III.

THE London Times expresses a desire that
some of the Republican members of Con-
gress who were distinguished at the last
session for their devotion to American indus
try may be defeated at the coming elections.
Its eagerness to advance the interests of
British manufacturers at the expense of the
producers of this country is too palpable TO
be disguised, and when it counsels free trade
or revenue reform, its evident motive is the
establishment of English industrial and
commercial asoendancy in this country.
