THE LESSON OF SEDAN.
[From the n. Y. Independent.l


The shameful collapse at Sedan was
the inevitable result of the collision be-
tween power based on honest and
healthy relations between government
and people and power based on fraud
craft, and arbitrary force between a
government which might oppress but
never lied to its people and one which
was the embodiment of lies and per-
juries between a government which in
spired devotion and one which could by
by no possibility inspire anything but in
terested service for hire. Napoleon
cheated the people and their representa-
tives and all France knew it. In turn,
he was cheated by his most trusted SER
vitors. He knew that his army was not
the tremendous and resistless power that
he pretended it was; and his subordi-
mates knew that it was far less efficient
than he imagined. The revelations that
have been made since Sedan have shown
how pitiably ignorant he was of the
condition of just that branch Of admin
istration on which he most prided him
self He was swindled by wholesale
and by retail. All the Jobs that disgraced
the first months of our war were lnslgnl-
ficant and harmless compared with those
that came to the surface as soon as the
French army went into action. In the
ordnance. cOmmissary, and quartermas-
ters' departments there was a systematic
swindling which could never have
reached such horrible perfection in any
other army in the world. And not only
were Chassepots, cannon, ammunition,
and all other essentials deficient, of
doubtful quality, and more or less unser-
viceable; but the army itself was a
gigantic swindle on its master as well
as on the world. Where Napoleon
thought he had a regiment of three
thousand, there was, in fact, a pitiful
fraction of fifteen hundred His subor-
dinates had learned how to deceive even
their master in the art. We have never
seen more signal retributive Justice on a
scoundrel in high place, or on a people
who submitted to his rule. 1t is the NOR :
al aspect of the military disasters of the
Empire which impresses us first and
most strongly. At no time do men so
naturally recur to the simple rules of
honest action as when they are startled
by the sudden failure of some gigantic
fraud on the public. Consciences that
have gradually become hardened by
contemplating the great success of vio-
lators of plain maxims of morality are
made wonderfully acute when these
splendid criminals breakdown and reveal
their short-sightedness How grandly,
at such times, do the characters of the
honestly successful stand out, even be-
fore the vision of the very men who an
hour before were secretly paying homage
to the external prosperity of tricksters IN
the race for money ol power!
Had the Empire been equal to its old
traditions, and sent out its decrees
from Berlin, instead oi signing its death
warrant at Sedan, l fear that its essential
and radical immortality would have sunk
out from public gaze and comment. But,

THE CZAR'S SFRIENDsHIP FORTHE
UNITED STATES.
From a waahington Letter.

viii relate a truthful incident of the
late rebellion, given to me by Vice Presi-
dent Colfax, which will, l think, tend
to make the proposed visit of a Russian
prince pleasant to him and his recep-
ton most cordial on our part. France
and England, it seems. had resolved to
Recognize the Southern Confederacy.
France was to father the movement and
England was to join in, and both were
to give the South such aid and comfort
as they consistently could to help them
achieve their independence, and thus
make Jeff Davis and cotton, slavery and
Southern aristocracy, rule this country
forever. There was only one little if in
the way of this grand movement for an
other empire or kingdom on these be-
nighted shores. They must have the
''0aoZai S16b01f' (they said they wanted
nothing more) of the Emperor of Russia.
That, they thought, they could easily
obtain. Napoleon was to make the ap-
plication; and he did so, through his
Minister. He commanded said Minister
to wait upon the Russian ambassador in
Paris and communicate his wishes. He
did so. ''Put that in writing" said the
faithful ambassador, land / will send it
to my master" Il was done and what
was the result mo No p said the
noble Gar. and he did not stop there.
mo No and l will apprize President
Lincoln and his government of your
wicked intentions, and do all in my
power to help sustain the North in their
patriotic struggle for the overthrow of
slavery and the establishment of liberty. "
On the pivot of that prompt and right
eous decision hung the untold interests
of our beloved country. God bless the
Gar of Russia, and give him and all his
royal house the blessings which crown
the heads of all God fearing, liberty-lov-
ing, humanity-serving rulers And when
the prince steps foot on our soil in June
next, the mouth Of roses and of all the
year the best, may the right hand of
this nation forget its cunning if it fails to
give.a. most cordial, Princely reception
+ to one of the chief princes of Europe
and a beloved son ofthe great ruler who,
when we were in the depths of great
troubles, did not forget us,

ssAIORAL sUAsION" AND PROHIBT.
TION.

Under this head the New York Post
has a very able argument, based upon
the revival in Massachusetts "of efforts
to persuade and reason people into so
briefly"
{ We make the following extract:
Il is, we suppose, seen by most per-
sons nowadays, that the attempt to
prohibit by law the use and sale of spiri-
tuous liquors has failed wherever il has
been tried. In fact it has not merely
failed; for the well-intended efforts of
the prohibitionists have in many cases
aroused very bitter spirit Of opposition
to all efforts in the temperance cause /;
and resistance to what was believed to
be oppression.
Werejoice, therefore, to see in Mass
achusetts, which has in vain attempted
to extirpate drunkenness by prohibitiVe
legislation, a revival of efforts to per-
suade and reason people into sObriety.
Very many of the strongest advocates of
the temperance movement in this coun-
try believe prohibitive legislation to be
uhwise and impracticable, however well
meant and long experience shows that
much more can be accomplished to-
wards extirpating the vice of drunken
ness by what is called moral suasion.
that is to say by appeals to the good
sense and honor of men, than by efforts
to forbid by law the use and sale of
liquors.
The evils of intemperance, the waste
fulness of habitual liquor drinking. its
enervating effect upon those who in
dulge in it, and the want and misery it
brings upon families, as well as its prodi-
gieus cost to the state, need only to be
zealously inculcated, in order to prO-
duce a general reform, which is much
needed. But with such efforts we be-
heve it unwise to unite prohibitive legis-
lation. One such tale as Zschokke's
Gold-maker's Village, widely circulated
through the country, one such example
as that of the town of Vineland every

THE NEW SENATE.


The Senate is now the chief object OF
inquiry. and in that branch of the gov
ernment we believe that a change rela-
lively great has been wrought in fa-
vor of honest and judicious legislation.
On the 4th of March the terms of twenty
fve senators expire. Twenty-four of
their seats have already been filed by
election, although one, that of Mr..
Revels's successor in Mississippi, has
been vacated again by the resignation
of Governor AlcOrn, making it probable
that. Mr. Revels viii be reelected. Mr..
Johnston will be succeeded by himself
or another democrat in Virginia. The
prospect is that every state will be fully
represented. The Senate viii therefore
be composed politically of 58 Republic
cans and 16 democrats--a democratic
gain OF six. as-ssi.t
