THE WAR NE WIS.

The false report of the capture of Saarlouis,
which was tel~egraphed from Paris yesterday,
turns out to have been an invention to pacify
the mercurial Frenchmen until more sub
stantial intelligence of a favorable character
could be furnished to them. They are terribly
mortified by the advance of the Grown Prince
into French territory and by the thickening
signs that sturdy blows can be given as well
as taken by the stubborn Germans. They
also fear that this advance may be but the
forerunner of invasions Of other portions of
their country and of a bold and successful
effort to make their soil the seat of war. 1t
looks as if the commander of each
nation was determined to invade
the dominions of his opponent, and in this
double effort to cross frontiers the Prussiaus
have so far met with decidedly the best sue
cess. The Parisians can find little c~onsola-
ton in the Emperor's bombastic despatch an
neuncing the baptism of the young Prince
Imperial for the subsequent capture of an
important French position, the loss of a
favorite general, and the seizure of q regiment
of prisoners. The journal which assures its
readers that the cannon taken by the Prus-
slams was a mere ordinary cannon, and not
one of the patent revolving arrangements
which are to NOV down the enemy
as a soythe cuts down grass, was
evidently impressed with a deep sense
of the necessity of furnishing conso-
lation of some kind, but the editor must
have been much grieved by his inability to
invent a better plan for depreciating the
Prussian victory. The growing French dis
content inspired by the inauspicious opening
of the campaign must be appeased. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Napoleon will have
the nerve and the genius to convert it into
an irresistible impulse of indignation against
the Germans. If he fails to do this, and fails
also to crafty the national aspirations for
victory, he must himself become the victim,
and like the tabled hero of antiquity be torn
by his own hounds. The French may submit
to his despotism, but they will not en-
dure it if it is to be coupled with disgrace
and defeat in a struggle which commands the
attention of the whole civilized world.
The Prussian ranks are said to be full to
OVERLOOKING. The Germans treat the whole
contest as a war waged for their individual
safety and for the protection and glory of
their Fatherland, and all that men can do
under the inspiration of the hottest and most
powerful incentives to action, they will do to
make Napoleon rue the hour that he declared
war. They belong to a martial race which
has never been defeated, in all the memora-
BILE conflicts of thousands of years, when it
was thoroughly in earnest and thoroughly
united. 1t is in earnest and united now; and
the Emperor, feeble in health, stricken in
years, weighed down by load of conscious
guilt, and distracted by jealousies and dis
trusts, may well be appalled, by the magni-
tude of the dangers he has so recklessly in
yoked.

merchants with the full scope of the new
change and to satisfy them that
il is to be permanent. But after
it becomes so firmly established that it's over
throw will be manifestly impossible, the rela-
tive importance of New York as an importing
city will rapidly decline, and other cities will
obtain their legitimate share of foreign trade,
with all its corresponding profits and adj
vantages. Blocks of warehouses to accom-
modate this required trade will spring up In
Philadelphia, and our chances of establishing
successful foreign steamship lines of our own
will be greatly improved by the opportunity
enjoyed by importers residing here of freely
using steamship lines that ply between New
York and Europe.

No ONE would have supposed that "Foxe's Book
OF Martyrs" was a favorite In France, or that
French children were entertained with the pretty
little stories OF Papal persecution with which chill
dren's religious books abouna, but a serious accident
lately occurred on the Boulevard Mont-P arnasse in
consequence Of an attempt by some children to
represent an duto-dd.fe. They erected a pile Of
small sticks, says a French paper, and set u on fire.
A child OF five years old, who undertook the part OF
the condemned hereto, bravely assembled the mar
tyr's pyre. or course the flames caught his clothes
and those Of the young inquisltors and executioners.
These were rescued before they were much hurt,

hanged by the neck until he was dead for
having murdered a police officer on the even
ing of the 23d of July, 1868. In England
they occasionally hang a lord to prove the
impartiality of the law, and in New York they
occasionally bring a rough to the gallows for
the same reason. In England it will depend
a good deal on the lords family connections
whether he will get off or not, while in New
York the rough can murder with compare
tive impunity if he is a member of the right
political ring. Thu guilt of this man Real
was acknowledgements upon his trial, and he
was promptly convicted of murder in the first
degree, the jury, however, uniting in a recon-
mendation for mercy. Why the jury should
have done this it is not easy to understand
from anything that appears upon the surface.
In New York, however, an amount of SYM
pathy and tenderness is manifested towards
the worst class of ~ruffians when they get into
trouble that entirely outdoes the considera-
ton bestowed upon suffering merit in that
locality. The jury probably felt bound to
convict Real because his guilt was proved
beyond a shadow of a doubt, but the idea of
hanging such a ine-spirited fellow for the
murder of a beggarly policeman was repug-
nantto their finer sensibilities, and they there
fore united in plea for his exemption from the
last penalties of the law. In spite of the jury's
recommendation, Real was sentenced to be
hanged, but no sooner had the sentence been
passed than a powerful pressure was brought
upon Governor Hoffman to interfere. Petit
ions for pardon were sent in, with the names
of some of the wealthiest and most influential
men in New York attached to them, new evil
dence was trumped up to show that the muir
dered man had been the aggressor, and all
the immense political influence that such

The r~eferenceto ''aNew York contemporary"
in the Ledger's article is particularly edify-
ing, and we really must set it down as carry
ing the joke just a little too far. We hope,
now that attention has been called to the mat
ter, the Ledger will do the proper thing, and
after acknowledging the error into which its
financial editor fell-on account of the hot
weather, undoubtedly-it will make the
amende honorable by extending the hand of
fellowship to the Record and promising to
sin no more.

THE "RECORD" AND THF"LEDGER."
We are highly gratifed to see that our vene-
rable contemporary the Ledger shows a dis
position to make up its quarrel with our juve-
nile neighbor the Record, although we can
scarcely approve of the rather undetermined
style in which it has made its advances. The
publication of the Record appeared to make
the Ledger unhappy, and it complained of a
grave discourtesy in the first number of the
Record, but failed to inform the public what
the matter was; and since then it has been in
a fit of sulks, and has refused to acknowledge
the existence of our Third and Chestnut
streets contemporary. II is a little bit odd,
therefore, to say the least of it, for the Ledger
to begin its recognition of the Record by
copying the money articles of the
last-named sheet without credit. There
are in vogue certain rules of journalistic eti-
quette, of no great imp ortance in themselves
perhaps, but which serve to make things
pleasant for all parties; and if the Ledger
finds the money articles of the Record SO much
superior to its own that it is necessary to
copy them, it would be just as well, for APP
pearance sake at least, that the usual acknow-
Judgments should be made. The money
editor of the Ledger, however, shows good
Judgment in going to the Record
for information, as there is
no paper in Philadelphia, with the exception
of course of The EVENING TELEGRAPH, that
will be able to furnish it with more facts or
sounder theories thar our ~neighbor. The
views expressed in the following parallel
paragraphs are certainly correct, but it may
we'll be asked whether the capabilities of the
English language are SO limited that it was
necessary to express these ideas in the Ledger
of August 9Th in almost precisely the same
words that were used by the Record on Au-
