Moltke OH Gamharta.

An opinion of Gambetta by Count Moltke
has been made public in France by Jules
Claretie who claims to have obtained it from
Paul Lindau, well known Prussian author.
Lindau told him that on a certain evening,
when some German officers were ridiculing
Gambatta and his armies, the Count, who was
standing near, quietly made the following re-
mark: YES, gentlemen, that is all very well,
but remember that after Sedan and Metz we
thought the war was over and France ex-
hausted. Nevertheless, for FIVE mouths these
improyised armies held their own against ours
1t took us month to beat the great disciplined
armies, but five months to beat recruits and
mobiles. And when they we're beaten others
appeared They were crowds rather than reg
iments, grant, but these mobs kept us in
check. Yon may forget this, you who had only
the satisfaction of victory; but confess that /
neither forget nor smile at it, for / had on my
shoulders all the trouble and anxiety of that
unexpected resistance Indeed, NJ Gambet-
tas tevee en- mdSSe so astonished soldiers that
we shall have TO study this question during

The New Collector.

The Senate yesterday confirmed the ap-
pointment of Hon. f N. Dow to be Collee-
ter Of the Port of Portland and Falmouth.
The delay in confirmation did not arise be-
cause o. any opposition in the Senate, but
because the matter was not sooner
reached. Mr.. Dow brings to the
place an active mind, trained in
habits of business. His conduct of the last
Republican campaign in Maine showed him
to be master of the art Of organization and
discipline, and to possess qualities eminent
ly fitting him to be the head of large BUSH
ness establishment like the Custom House.
There can be NO doubt that he will make
an excellent and efficient Collector.

Hon. Edward Mcpherson, says the CORES
pendent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
good type of the wel-ingrained American
Scotch-Irishmen, who are among the most
thorough of Americans. His ancestors in
the year 1875 settled near Gettysburg. His
great-grandfather was patriotic man, who
helped form the first Constitution of the
State of Pennsylvania. His grandfather was
in the Revolutionary War; his father was
the bank cashier at Gettysburg for forty-fve
years. Young Mcpherson graduated at
Gettysburg College, and went over to Ian
easter to study law with Thaddens Stevens.
He became the reporter of the Legislature
and newspaper correspondent at Harris
burg; was twice elected to Congress, and
afterward became editor of the leading Re-
publican paper in Pennsylvania, the Press,
Subsequently as Clerk of the House he has
had distinguished career.

1T is suggested that the failure of the cap
tain OF the Sultan to rescue any of the pas
ssngers of the i'll -starred Cimbria shows that
he must have been criminally derelict in the
duty which ordinary humanity imposed up
On him. This is very grave charge, for
which it does not appear that there is any
reasonable foundation. 1t is only just TO
remember that the Sultan was seriously in
tured by the collision-so seriously that con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in bring
Ing her into port. Under these circumstan-
oss the captain would seem to be justified in

Boston Post: The Maine legislative com
Hittee to which was referred the proposed
changes in the taxation, etc., of savings
banks, will probably report in favor of re-
suction of one-fourth of / per cent. in the
taxes, instead of one-half as asked for. This
will leave our Massachusetts savings banks
With quarter of per cent. advantage over
the Maine banks in the matter of making
loans. In other words, the Maine bank will
be obliged to earn State tax of three-quar-
ters of per cent. Oh it's deposits, as against
State tax of one-half Of per cent on the
same 10 Massachusetts banks. The difference
is slight, but if Maine party should seek
very large loan, he would be likely to take
notice of it, and apply where money was
cheapest

THE nervousness exhibited by the French
government over Bonapartist and Legitimist
demonstrations is an obvious confession of
weakness. French Republicans, in truth,
appear to be frightened very easily by mere
shadows. There has never been since 1871
less real reason to dread aristocratic stage
thunder, and yet more dread has seldom been
apparent. The trouble seems to be that
French public life has no great figures, now
that Gambetta is gone. A Republican form
@ government is not enough to change in
TN PEARS nations habits, and Frenchmen
sSll worship the brilliant and the dramatic.

THE WAR.

Tho telegraphers and the Western
Union Company have effected no
compromise. We trust the war will
prove a blessing in disguise. If it
will result in influencing the mex,
Congress to create a postal telegraph
system, we will rejoice. The govern.
ment has monopoly on letters, which
: is Pre'eminently satisfactory to the
people of these United States. Whv
not monopolize the telegraph: They
are s. closely allied in the general
uses and purposes to which they are
now assigned, that it seems to be but
right and proper that the government
should have the exclusive franchise. rs
Is now the case with the mail.

convention adopted the following
resolution:
