THE Butler County Democrat, an Ohio
paper, opposed to the New Departure,
is appealing to its readers in way that
all can understand. 1t publishes illus
trations. One of these is a large and
hideous cartoon, representing the New
Departure Democracy deserting the plat
form of 'fWhite Supremacy, Liberty,
Republican Government, Prosperity and
Peace" and rushing into the embrace of
diabolical-looking, seven-headed mons
ter, affirmed to represent "Mongrelism,
Despotism, Anarchy, Barbarism, Rotten
ness and Death 1.-THE Departure
Democracy" says this amiable journal, y
'are leaving the white platform with
downcast countenances, and, as soon as
they cross the dividing line between De
r,ocracy and Mongrelism, they assume the
appearance of carpet-bag cutthroats and
thieves"
Il is rather hard on the Earnest man
and his associates, to be accused, IN the
first hours of their felicity, and by a
Democrat, too, of assuming the appear
ance of 'carpet-bag cutthroats and
thieves"

PosTAGE TO GERMANY An arrange
ment has just been concluded between
the United States and Germany to take
effect on the lst of October next, which
reduces the rate of international postage
for prepaid letters, if exchanged between
the two countries by closed mail uiia Eng
land from ten to seven cents for each rate
OF half an ounce or under, unpaid letters
SO exchanged to be charged with double
prepaid rates, and insuffciently paid let
ters with the postage for unpaid letters
after the deduction of the amount pre-
paid. This arrangement thus establishes
uniform postage Of seyen cents, or three
silver groschen, per single rate on pre-
paid letters exchanged between the
United States and Germany on and after
October lst, whether transmitted vta
England or by direct line ria Hamburg
or Bremen. 1t is particularly to be OBJ
served that this reduction applies to let
ters only, SO that all correspondence other
than letters posted in the United States
for Germany will continue subject to the
same rates of postage and to the same
conditions Of compulsory prepayment as
are now applicable thereto. Postmasters
will levy and collect this postage on and
after the 1st of October. Racine AdUo-

The RESPONSIBILITY Fixed.

Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, in the course OF
his late financial speech, said the reason
why the credit of the United States stood
so low in the European money market
was because there were large class in
this country who believe that the public
debt should be paid in greenbacks, and
the capitalists of the old world were
afraid that this party would be able to
enforce its idea upon the American peo-
pie.
This is the most frank admission that
we have seen from a Democrat acknow-
lodging that his party was doing all in its
power, and to a certain extent was sue
cessful in injuring the public credit. The
charge has often been made by the Re-
publicans, but was stoutly denied by the
Democrats until this leader of Ohio De
mocracy volunteers to charge his own par
ty with conspiring to ruin the public Gre
dit. The worst feature being the at
tempt of the General to defend the
scheme after plainly stating its purpose.
The Democratic party during Buchan-
mans administration. reduced the pub
lie credit, until the Government had to
pay az equivalent of about II per cent.
interest, in gold, for money borrowed to
pay the current expenses of the admins
tration.
The Republicans, after providing for
the enormous expenses made necessary
by the Democratic rebellion, have so i'm
proved the public credit that they have

lars at per cent. and these bonds are al

markets. And this in spite Of the com
bined action of the Democratic press.
which has delighted to commend upon
the failure of the new loan.
Can any better reason be demanded
why the Republican party should be
kept in power? No party. since the
founding of the Government, has ever
concluded the fiscal affairs of the nation
with the tact, ability and success which
has characterized the administrations OF
some of our Republican Secretaries. And
yet they have been the especial target a,
which a jealous party which had been
| tried and found wanting, have aimed
their heaviest guns with but slight effect,
The credit has steadily improved not
withstanding the opposition of a coward
ly enemy that has always been unreient

tent unpatriotic. aud its attempts to thus

more bitter in their denunciations,-Rd

Gcrrit Smith on President Grant.

1T is but too probable, however, that
the Republican party Will sink down In
to a low chase with the Democratic party
after votes. So far from going forward
and making it more and more
a reform party, its murmurlngs against
President Grant, and frequent signs OF
toward him; reveal It's declln-
ing appreciation of even these great NOR
al ideas it had already espoused; For to
which of the grand undertakings and
precious interests ofthe Republican party,
at the time of his election, has he been
found untaithful? To not one OF them.
Identified, therefore, as he is, with them
all, and the most prominent upholder OF
them all, every one of them Is necessarI-
lv disnaraced when he is traduced or un-
derraiued. For the Republican party to
turn its back upon President Grant, is to
turn its back upon its honorable past
upon the past OF It's better and more pat
riotic days. He remains the same man
he was in those days. He has proven

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

The Wisconsin, of the 2Sth says that
the dispatches from Europe are ofa start
ling character. 1t is to the effect that
Russia and France have formed an alli-
ance, offensive and defensive, against
Germany, Italy and Austria. There
seems row to be little doubt but that the
report is substantially true, for the meet
ing of the Emperors of Austria and Ger
many indicates that something of the
kind has been in contemplation. Russia
is alarmed at the rapidly growing power
of Germany. and her activity in war-hke
preparations for year past has indicated
that she felt it important to the contin-
uance cf her influence in European poll
tics that she should be prepared to curb
the power of her rival when favorable
opportunity shall offer. Yet it is not
certain that war will follow at once upon
this reported alliance. France has had
enough of war for the present, and is in
very poor condition to enter upon another
conflict. But should Russia begina a war,
there is no doubt but that France would
at once seize the opportunity to recover
something Of what she has lost. If she
could recover her lost territory, and escape
the payment of her indemnity to Ger
many. she could afford to spend some
thing in war. There is good reason,
however, for the belief that none of the
great nations of Europe are anxious for
war, for nearly all of them have, within
a few years, been greatly exhausted there
by. We look to see all the efforts of di-
plomacy exhausted before war is resorted
to- 4 war between the powers named
would be most bitter and terrible one,
and would desolate anew the fairest por-
tions of Europe.

ENTERPRISE OF THE HERALp.-While we
have been astonishing the newspaper world in
Europe in regard to our extraordinary achieve
ments in the way of giving extended reports
Of operations at the theatre of war almost as
Boon as they occur, we seem to have won the
admiration of our Canadian friends for similar
enterprise, although on much smaller scale,
on this Continent. We refer to the comments
OF the st. John -(New Brunswick) press on
The recent reports Of HERALD commission
ers to Ottawa, Canada, and Gloucester, Mass,
hnd the admirable contributions they furnished

The NEW ARMY REGISTER shows that there
are still ffty-nine officers on the list who have
served thirty years continuously in the United
States Army. Six Of these are general and
seven are field officers, the remaining forty
still plodding along in the lowlier paths of the
regimental line or subordinate staff. Consid-
ering the decimating wars that have occurred
among ourselves or with our neighbors during
that long thirty years-the Mexican and Indian
wars and the great civil war-and considering
the sorry requital which our military officers
get from the country for the hard service they
perform, it is rather wonderful that so many
old officers remain to us,
