THE TRIUMPH OF GERMANY.

The wonder of the century in which we
live, in military history, will be the wal
which has just ended with the fall of Paris
1t is, as yet, impossible to foretell the ex-
act terms upon which peace will finally be
secured, but it is certain, we think, that
no more fighting will take place. The
final results of the war will be to leave
France O second rate power. The lesson
Of her humiliation is too plain to be mis-
taken. A nation given up to frivolty and
pleasure; an empire based upon the theory
that the greatness of people depends
upon their proves in war; a people whose
money and labor have been expended to
heautify their palaces and crafty their
tastes for fashion and amusement at the
expense of the education of the masses,
has been overthrown by race of domestic
and educated people whose labor and
money. has been SO iudieiously expended
as to make them the most prosperous and
powerful nation in the world. What
France has lost in infiue cling the fu-
ture Of Europe, Germany has gained
We hope, as we believe, the transfer
will prove of great benefit TO mankind.
In determining the probabilities for such
result, we look not so much to the re-
ported ambitious schemes of Bismarck, as
we DO the anteeedents aud well known
sympathies of the German people They
are q practical, freedom-loving race, and
can not be made the mere instruments i'll
the hands of Bismarck or his chiefs to
fasten upon Europe the tyranny and OPP
preston which the well known ambitions
Of Napoleon, with his immense armies,
made inevitable The ascendancy of Ger
many, united and powerful, in Europe,
will be more fruitful of good than was that
of France. We do not believe people 50
intelligent and peacefully disposed will
ever consent to keep standing armies, such
as France was supposed to have, to menace
constantly the peace of Europe We do
not believe Government, one branch of
which is popular and reflects the will of
the people, will ever use the power supe-
rior civilization has given its people, for
the mere qualification of ambitious rulers.
We do not see in the history of the Royal
house of Prussia any thing to make lis be-
lieve that under the new Confederation
Germany will seek to carry her supremacy
beyond the boundaries of the German
States but we do see in their traditions
strong hopes to believe that their triumph
viii give to Europe higher and better
civilization. We see in this hope, ground
for rejoicing that war which has brought
SO much misery to Europe is likely to give,
in return, that which will repay in part
for the suffering iteansed

OUR attention has been called To q story
in last weeks Sweet Water Enterprise, en-
titled, Madaline cambridge, by Clio STAN
ley" Itpurports to be a story of the war.
The scene is laid in Middle Tennessee. A
Union officer, of the brutal, vulgar type,
and a fair Southern lady are the principal
characters. The moral, of course, is that
the officer was type of his class, and a
type of the men who saved the Union.p
We hardly know how to characterize such
attempts TO impress false and pernicious
ideas on the young for the story was writ
ten for that class. We think the Enter
prise might use its space to better pur-
pose. Such attacks are mean and unman-
iy, for there is no way to counterfeit them.
They SOW the seeds for future trouble and
can do no good; for, though there were
exceptional cases of such characters in
both armies, it would be cowardly and
mean to create an impression in young
minds of either section that they were
representatives of either army.

THERE was never wider field for the
display of genuine charity than presents
itself now in the case of bleeding, unfortu-
nate France. In the worlds history there
is probably not q bloodier record than that
of the past six months in France, which has
just eliminated in sweeping victory fol
the German arms The conflict has left
the French people in furnishing condi-
ton. They are now the subjects of unpar-
alleled misery. Thousands of them are
going to their graves, victims of famine
and pestilence. Men of charitable inclina-
tons naturally turn to their relief. AL
ready the victorious German army has
been supplying their wants from their own
stores. Other European countries have
been sending provisions, and the people of
New York are getting up cargoes for their
relief. We presume other cities i'll the
United States will do the same, and it is to
be hoped the sufferings brought about by
the war will soon cease.

THE Swiss Government, in considera-
ton of the fact that East Tennessee and
the country contiguous is more suited to
the Swiss immigrants, and more numer-
ously settled by them than the other di-
visions of the State, has established an
agency here, which has been faithfully
filed by the present incumbent, our fell
low-citizen, Mr.. Peter Staub. We see no
reason why our friends In the other Sec
tione Of the State should be disposed to

oughly conversant with the wants of its
former citizens.

1NrEREsr1Na coRRrsporprNcE.

The general character of what is well
known in New York as Erie litigation, is
pretty generally understood the country
over. The lawyer who has been foremost
In defending Fisk and Gould in their gil
gantic schemes for plumber, has been Mr..
David Dudley Field, man of fine talents,
and heretofore of high character. He has
thorough knowledge Sff tic TECHNICAL
ties of the law, and was dubbed by the late
Jasnlee I. Brady as the King of Pettifog-
gers The issues of the New York pa
pers which reached as yesterday are very
full of lengthy correspondence between
hfr. Field and Mr.. Samuel Bowles, editor
of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,.
This correspondence was brought about by
an article in theRepublican, censuring Mr..
Field for permitting the Erie managers to
use him as their agentin obtaining from
Barnard and Cordozo, corrupt judges of the
city, orders, DEGREES, &C., for delaying
and thwarting the claims of justice.
Mr.. Field replies, and says he has done
just what every lawyer does-defends his
clients, giving them only the benefits Of
snch defenses rs they are entitled to under
the law. The letters are in the main de-
voted TO discussing, first, the rights of
the press in taking up for discussion
in their columns the professional
acts of lawyers; and, second, to what eX-
tent lawyers are warranted in defending
their clients. Upon the first point, Mr..
Rnxr-Ioa al rl1 hoe ho &c
Field. Court proceedings are public, and
it is the privilege of the press not only to
report those proceedings but to comment
upon them. As to the other question, it is
one upon which there is q vast difference
Of opinion. In the case of Mr.. Fields,
however, if the facts arc as we understand
them, there can be but little difference Of
opinion. He must know the character of
the influence Fisk and Gould have over
Barnard and Cardozo, and knowing this,
if he consents to appear for them in their
causes and use their illegal and unscrupu-
lous abuse of judicial power, be transends
the bounds of professional propriety and
is justly subject to public censure. It is
lawful to advocate what it is lawful to do,
but it is not lawful to give to guilty, I'M
scrupulous clients the benefits of expert
enced legal advice, aided by illegal acts of
corrupt judges, only to enable them to
maintain possession of ill-gotten gains or
use of power obtained by fraud. Lawyers
have duties to the public as well as to their
clients, and when they violate either, they
should be exposed to the end, that their
evil eXa mple may not mislead others.
