THE EUROPEAN WAR.

ues, the shells of the Prussians con-
stantly falling inside the city. Still
the reports from Paris are that the
population are undaunted. Advices
from the beleagured city state that
General Bourbaki at Orleans reports
that the French have carried the vii
Iages of Arcey and St. Marie, and
that his troops are gaining ground.
is also reported that Dijon, Gray,
Lure, aud Vesoul have been re-occu-
pied.
The French foreign Office has pro-
tested against the bombardnent of
Paris, OH the ground that it was COM
menced without a formal notification,
required by the usages of civilized
warfare.
The restoration of the Empire is
aga in talked of, and is said that a
close alliance between France and
Prussia is contemplated.
Prince de Joinville has been re-
quired to leave France. He express
ed willingness to serve as priyate'
but Gambetta would not allow it, and
required him to leave the country,
which he did and returned to England.
In the battle of Lie Mans on the 18th
the Germans were successful, captuf-
ing thirteen guns and two flags and
1900 prisoners, and on the 18th
Prince Frederick Charles entered the
city with the Second and Tenth army
Corps.
The bombardmeat on the 18th is
said to have been terrible. The
whole district south of the line drawn
through Batemaillot, Champ de Mars,
Hotel Des .Invalides, Luxembourg and
Fort De Bicetre, is reached with a
rain of shells; the other portions of
the city are perfectly safe the head

THE way the Radicals show their
regard for the will of the people, and
the manner of conducting 's honest
elections" and winning Radical VIC
tories is illustrated by their manage
ment of matters in Florida. There
are thirty-nine counties in the State,
and at the election i'll November the
State went Democratic by decided
majority; but in order to make the
election an honest (?) one and secure
glorious Radical victory, the Board
of Canvassers threw out the votes of
nine counties, all of which gave Dem,
ocratic majorities, and thereby de-
clared elected the Radical Lieutenant
Governor, and Josiah Wells, a negro,
Representative to Congress. But the
days of these Radical outrages have
about played out.

Tuesday of last week, resolved to
hold the next Democratic State Con-
yention at Columbus on Thursday the
first day Of June nert. There was a
full attendance of the Committee and
many of the prominent men of the
party from different sections of the

meeting was held at Wagner's Hall
which was addressed by Hons. Geo.
III. Pendleton, l.. d. Campbell, Frank
Mckinney, Geo. w. McCook, and c.
l.. Vallandigham and Generals Thomas

speeches were full of encouragement
for the future success of the Democ-
racy and of incentives to the thorough
and complete organization of our
forces In the several counties, town
ships and school districts throughout
the State, and vigorous discussion
of political issues before the people
expressing the belief that by these
means the Democracy of Ohio would
win glorious victory in the coming
campaign.

CORRECT SENTIMENTs.-Att the cele-
bration of the Battle of New Orleans
by the Young Mems Jackson Asso-
citation, of Pittsburgh. on the 9th
inst, among the letters read ON the
occasion was one from Hon. Charles
Francis Adams, Minister to England,
under Presidents Lincoln and John
son. After expressing regrets for his
absence, he says:
!" am not much in the way of ex-
pressing sentiments on present politi-
cal topics. The country has passed
through violent conyulsion, and is
now slowly but steadily recovering it
self. The main object should be to
restore harmony, and to inspire mu-
tual confidence among all jarring
members. Our Government draw its
life from the ready consent of the gov
erned.
When the distinguished hero
whose name your association bears
uttered these memorable words, sThe
Union shall be preserved he undoubt-
edly rested faith on the sponta-
neous cooperation of the great mass
OF the nation responding to his call in
the regular and legitimate channels
prescribed by the organic law. He
never contemplated the use of bayo-
nets in controlling the form of col
leeting general suffrage.
"Our safety as a nation lies in GO
ing back to first principles, forgetting
that force has ever been resorted to as
painful necessity to preserve them.
What was a bitter medicine should
not be turned into daily food"

The San Domingo job.

The New York Ecening Post con-
tains long article upon San Domin-
go, making, among others, the follow
ing astounding statements, which we
commend to the careful perusal of the
yelpers at the determined stand which
the two great Radical leaders, Messrs.
Sumner and Shurz, have taken, in
Congress, against this transparent and
bare-faced job:
First-Seyerai war ships of the
United States are lying on the Domin-
lean coast, at the service and orders
of Baez, and used by him as though
they belonged to him.
Second-That these vessels were
used to intimidate the people, when
they were asked 10 vote on annexa-
ton, and that the vote sent to Wash
ington was obtained by such intimida-
ton.
Third-That Baez could not main
tain his power if it were not for the
open threats of the commanders of the
United States naval vessels to destroy
the towns OH the coast, in case rising
is attempted in them.
Fourth-It is asserted that half a
million of paper money printed in the
United States, reported publicly, but
OF course falsely, TO be guaranteed by
the United States as means of Civ
ing it value, has been received by
Baez, and he was about to put it in
circulation.
Fifth-It is reported in San Domin-
go that the United States Governments
has paid Baez SI50,000 as second
years rent for SANTANA Bay. Also, it
is asserted there, and not dedied, that
the best lands in and near Samana
Bay are already in possession of Con-
neau, Fabens, Babcock and Baez.
Sixth-We are assured that the Do
minican public debt, which amounted
in 1868, according to the Comptroller,
to two million of dollars, has been
largely increased, and that during the
| last six months numerous old claims
against the government have been al
lowed, and these claims have been
bought up at very low rate by per-
sons conspicuous in urging the annex
alton. =
Seventh-There seems 10 be no
doubt that Admiral Porter III the Sew
ern was sent to tell the Haytien gov
efll6Hl llldI IL 1t lHlefIefcu Will lile
schemes of the United States and Ba-
ez in San Domingo it would bring
trouble upon itself. This as though
Napoleon had said to the United
States that if they interfered with his
schemes in Mexico he would declare
war against us. Yet General Grant
thought it would be right and wise to
send American troops to drive the
French out of Mexico.
The persons who make charges are
Dominicans, in favor of annexation
to the United States; but they COM
plain that the United States govern
ment is proceeding with brute force
and unjustly in the matter; that its
power is grossly misused by bad men
ito advance their selfish ends and that
the people who see themselves CO.
creed by our navy and sold by Baez,
are indignant and dissatisfied, and
will resist annexaticn and cause us
trouble, when, if wisely managed,
they would gladly consent.

SENATOR MORRILL,, of Vermont,
suggests the propriety of imposing a
tax of one dollar on each application
for Office, and the same on each sigma
ture thereto, where the salary of the
place sought is 81 900, and fifty cents
extra where it exceeds that sum. The
beauty of this is that it not only farms
out the Offices but makes it the first
duty of every successful bidder to
steal himself whole. To do so. an az
preparation of at least ten times the
amount of his tax will seem about
right. @ eJl

Rontwen and meCnuoneh.

The, World digs out of the last
statement of the Secretary of the
Treasury the following comparison,
by no means favorable to that official :
1t appears that MIR. McColloch, Mr..
Boutwell's predecessor, cancelled of
the national debt in three years
1867 to 1869 inclusive-$185, ,781, 1858, rs,
on which he paid premium of $751;
AIS, ,1S0,47, and that as an offset he re-
ceived during the above three years
$40, ,746, ,450,97 as premium on gold
sales. In other words, counting as
Offset the premium on such sales. Mr..
Mccullough managed to buy one
hundred and eighty-fve millions of
dollars of bonds at the rate as near as
possible, of S4 cents on the dollar.
But far different has been the finan-
ciering of Mr.. Boutwell,. In 1870
that gentleman cancelled $107, IT'S, $780,
Is, of debt which cost him, as he
states, premium on loans and purchase
of bonds, SIS, ,996, ,555,60 while the re-
ceipts of premium ON gold sales and
loans wese during the same period
SIS, ,195, ,643,76 Thus it will be seen
that not only has he been paying our
debt in gold but has actually paid a
gold premium to buy it up. If we
had paid the $1O7, ,769,779,13 outright
in gold from the Treasury instead of
selling the gold, we would have been
a little over $4,000 in pocket.
