Military Bungling.

Gen. Towards mismanagement of the
campaign against the Nez Perces Indians
is the subject Of some very sharp criticism
by the press. It is alleged that he is d.
viding his forces SO that the Indians are
able to attack them in detail and iuHict
serious loss, both Of men and material
That he is never found, in person, where
the fighting Is to be done, but generously
assigns that work to others. That he did
not make his appearance on the battle
field Of the late severe conflict between the
detachment of the army under Gen. Glib
bons and the Indians until the third day
after the fight, when his presence was use
less for the support of the troops engaged,
for pursuit of the enemy, or for any other
purpose except for hospital assistance to
his moro gallant and wounded comrades in
arms. And, finally, that he is both in-
competent and cowardly, and ought to be
dismissed from the service. 1t is just pos
sible that the newspaper men while sitting
quietly in their sanctums, may not know
as much about the Indian campaign, as
those engaged in it in the Rocky Noun
tains; but, at any rate, the result looks bad
for Gen. Howard, and men judge such
matters by results. The eighty stark forms
of gallant soldiers upon the battle field,
though mute in death, plead eloquently
against the absence of the General in
command.

Questions for the LAWYERS,

Is canal a highway, for the obstruction
ofwhich by strikers or boatmen, they may
be indicted? Or, does the fact that it
belongs to n corporation, and the pub
lie have to pay for the use of it, change
its character SO that to obstruct it is no
nuisance for which an Indictment will lie
as in case Of an obstruction Of public
road? If the corporate character Of q
canal bars it from the protection of the
statutes in relation to highways, are not
turnpike roads 10 the same category {?
They also belong to corporations and the
public have to pay for their use. II Is
said that Attorney General Gwinn has
given his opinion to the Governor that the
boatmons are liable to indietmen for such
obstruction, but this opinion has been
challenged by certain persons "learned in
the law in this State As in the case of
the doctors, "who shall decide when the
lawyers disagree p

The Crisis in France,

In minds but partially imbued with re-
publican principles tho position Of the
French authorities is calculated to inspire
only contempt and disgust France is a
Republic, 10 name at least, and MacMahon
is her President. But he is military
chieAain, and like all men or nearly all
men Of his class has few of the, qualifca-
tons requisite for civil administration.
An election is panding, and the intense
heat Of party strife between the republ-
cans and monarchists has brought the
President, who favors monarchy, to show
his hand in measures unmistakably ealcu-
lated to overthrow the republic Like the
last Emperor, Louis Napoleon, he has
throttled the press as the first step towards
empire. Such journals as the Seic1e, the
Presse, the Nineteeath Gatury, and others
of less note, have been suppressed. Even
the photographs Of that popular and venera-
ted republican citizen, NJ. Theirs, are contra.
band, and forbidden TO be sold in the
streets. The journals which favor mon
archy are urging the adoption Of military
measures to overthrow the republic, and it
is now probable that martial law will be
declared. The people viii not be allowed
to vote their sentiments, for under the pre-
tense Of maintaining "order," the election,
like that of Louis Napoleon, and ike the
elections held here during the war, will be
conducted under government bayOnets,
1t is conceded, on all hands, that the re-
publicans largely Outnumber either Of the
other parties, but despOtic military sway
win probably determine the result against
the republic, and if SO, look out for barri-
cades and a fresh revolution.
The Philadelphia Ledger says The Re-
public in France was quietly working out its
own salvation. 1t had paid its war debts, it
was about to make provisions for general ed
ucation, and it was steadily growing in pros
perity, and in that tranquility which comes
Of the peoples confidence. But the rival
claimants, each Of whom most powerfully and
potently believes that France belongs to him
and not to the French peopla, have had Just
enough strength in the French Cabinet and
with the Marshal to bring discord and menace
into the Councils of France. There is reason
10 fear that what is called the Clerical p, ~
have something to do with the unsettlin. "
affairs. They ought to take lesson from
this country, where il is proven that churches
thrive best by being let alone, and where they
are suffered to manage their own matters
without either governmental interference or
aid.

snydersburg Camp.


Tho Snydersburg camp meeting closed
August 9th, and n large number OF persons
were in attendance during its progress Ey'
erything w,.a 2one for the comfort of visitors
that was in the committees power. Plenty Of
good water for man and beast was near by
arranged in tanks and troughs. The ieaiy
auditorium, in which the tents and speaker S
stand were erected, was beautiful spot, near
an open field, giving the worshippers the nd
vantage both of the shade aud the cooling
breeaes. The weather throughout the entire
camp was delightful; with exception OF some
dust, 1t was the most pleasant camp season |
ever spent. The crowd on s;sbbath was est.
mated at about three thousand; this was good
attendance, being away some distance from
railroads. No accident occurred during the
entire camp. The committee having conf
dence in the people that they would preserve
order employed no police, and better order
at o camp, where so many come together, is
seldom seen. Persons who have been at
tending camp for twenty years said they never
saw better order. Due attention was given to
the preaching of Gods word, much was said
Of the good sermons that were preached, and,
Judging from the interest manifested, much was
said that will be of lasting benefit to many.
Christians were quickened in the divine life
ana scores oil unconverted persons were pow
erfully convicted of sin. Some sought God
in the pardon ofsin publicly, others expressed
themselves to ministers and others that they
would seek the same privately. We humbly
hope that all will persevere until they have
victory. The expenses of this meeting we're
fully met by voluntary contributions from
liberal hearted men and women, given in Il
public aud private way. The closing exer'
cises on Thursday night were in the old'iash.
ioned style-an address, and receiving of
members, aud marching around the ground,
and taking the parting hand God was pres
ent and his power was manifest. The bene.
diction was pronounced little past II o clock
at night, and we retired to rest for an early
departure from the ground, Many will Join
me in saying that this was u good meeting
and will not be forgotten soon by them.
May good influences from it be- far reaching.

SUMNER PAsTIMEs.-As the old saw
expresses it,-"All work aud no play makes
Jack dull boy" Yes, and not Jack
alone, but every other boy as well. A
certain amount of recreation or diversion
is as necessary for the mind as rest after
labor is for the body Excursions by land
and water, pic mics, pleasure parties, riding,
boating, fishing parties, are the order Of
the day. OF pic mics, contemporary
says-the pic mic is essentially an Ameri-
can institution, one Of which we are proud.
Proud Of its ham sandwiches its hard
boiled eggs; its crisp pastry; its tempting
silver-cake and sponge-cake; its dainty
preserves; its ice cream; its lemonade, and
its ginger-pop. A picnic party is pleas
ant spectacle, whether found upon the
decks of steamer, upon the beach, within
the shady hollow of the woods, Or camped
upon some breezy hilltop; for wherever
found, there is mirth and merriment,
brushing the cobwebs of carking care from
the mind, invigorating the body, and
freeing the soul from the sordid influences
of a constant and exclusive mouey-getting.
No people on earth are SO devoted to bus
mess as the American people. None
have SO little leisure, or deny themselves
to the same extent the enjoyments of So

Gov Carroll seems resolved to maintain
order and uninterrupted communication
along the line Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, by the presence Of State troops at
all exposed points. But, let him not lose
sight Of rigid economy, which is emf
nently necessary if we would escape in
creased taxation. The treasury Of the
State appears to bear its present burdens
with ease, but let due care be taken that
no additional weight be added that eau
possibly be dispensed with, The Eighth

workingmsn's wants.


The Baltimore Esen6,g Bulletin points
out the irreconcilable discrepancies aud
incongruities between the wants and de-
mands of the working men in different
parts Of the country, in the following
striking manner;
at is possible that IL the workingmen all
the country over were to compare notes as to
their wants they would discover that there is
a good deal of incompatibility in them. The
Granger workingmen want railroad rates put
down, in order 20 cheaper transportation.
The California workmgmen want the Chinese
expelled, in order to raise the white mems
wages. Mr.. George +. Abrahams represents
a class who want the negroes to emigrate, in
order that there may be less labor and more
wages in the Southern States. But that would
put up the price Of clothing and food, and all
the workingmen, without exception, want
cheap food and cheap clothing. All the
workinginen want the Government to give
them work to do, which means increase OF
taxation, yet all want taxes to be less than
they are now. All the workingmen want
cheap money, but all object to the correlative
proposition of dear goods. How can they
have cheap money without dear goodsf How
can they have a paternal government without
increase of taxes9 And how can taxes be
increased without wages being diminished in
at least equal measure? The workingmen
should look at these things in their collective
shape as well as seridtiRl, and they will then
have better chance of sppreciating the diff
culties in the way Of adjusting their demands
with the demands of conflicting interests, and,
indeed, of working out any satisfactory prac'
teal solution of the labor problem
