8 I'l i 5 IO fill i i LEAVENWORTH TIMES I WiuUn THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1870. PABIN. The march through France by King William and the Crown Prince is as triumpliant as was Slicnnan's march to the sea. Germany is in the heart of France, living on it, Mopping nil business, monopolizing it, and going to Paris to demind anil conquer a (eruianciit peace. Ami the sympathies of every lover of liberty and humanity throughout the whole world arc with Germany.

If the French La Faycttcs and Rochambeaus who fought with us in the Revolution were jilive to-day, they would be as much the friends of Germany as wc are, and as are the descendants Jof the German Stctibens and Dc Kalbs, who also fought with in. To claim the proud name of I-i Favclle art sympathizing with the u-iirpcr ami ilcsjiot, ixmis jSnpolcon, is as wrong and wicked as it would hare been for the Amorican RclicK of 1801 to claim the t-ymjiathy of George Washington, became he iii a Rebel in La Fayette and Washington gave their Mood and their lives for freedom, for a united, free and consti tution il government the cause for which Germany fights to-day, mid in which tJic will succeed. and King William may not lc lb-publicans and in favor of a five citiitituiiional government to-day. At the lieginiiingof our own war, Lincoln and Svw.ud dc-Iared that they would not in-terfere with slavery. McClcIIan marched into We-t Virgin! ami issued a proclamation in which lie said that his soldiers would protect slavery and return runaway slaves.

In lb" summer of 18(11 every Republican in bith HoiiMSof Congress voted that the object of the war was not to abolish or interfere with slavery, but simply to restore the Union. Rut the cause was greater than or the iHiliticians of any rty. The Gcriiiaiiskm-w it asjwe know their caii.se now, and they fought for Freedom and Union. And the cause of Prussia is greater than the Tory Risinarck orjhe hereditary Hohenxol-lern. If Fnuice cannot appreciate it, then she must stand aside and let a greater ami truer jicople take the leadership of Europe.

If England continues jterfidous and makes "li.issejMits for Franrc as she made Alabamas lor the slave-masters, then England shows tint she is a nation of pedlers, yard-sticks and hucksters. Her rich are bloated and gouty three hundred thousand of her MHir are starving and when this war over, as it will lie speedily, Prussia wii! add her Chas-eisit, coal and horse claims lo the Alabama claims of the United S'aU-s, ami England will cat humble pie through the rest of the ccntnry. Thc'coun-Iryincii of Luther and Humboldt arc in uni-hiii with the con try men of Washington and I'Tankliu. The rapid success of Prussia amazes France and atunds the whole world. The invad- rs are unic-stricken in their own Capital, and their Emperor it a fugitive and a wanderer.

I Ic is sneaking from one point to another, and rawly peeps. 'His retreat from illage to village can only be compared to Andy Johnson swinging round the circle, anil to Jeff Davis running away in a woman's tlothes. If Napoleon Ls arrested for treason we hope Rocohfort will sign his bond, secure bis release, ami allow him to come to the Ilnititl States and go into the Life Insurance bii-im-ss with Jeff Davis, at Memphis. Ami the Prussians are almost at the gates if Paris. It it as impossible to raise soldiers in France to-day as it was for Davis to re-unit in Georgia when Sherman was then.

It is too late. Olio million Germans prevent it. They arc French soil, and they will remain until they obtain such a peace as the demands of the civilized world have a right to insist iiimii. )f the iHiwer ami purpose of Prussia, the yitim says: We have but little news by way of Berlin, except official detatcliui from ihe King, hich have, however, the sober, modest and Mimewhat solemn air which has marked all his utterances since the war broke out. J5ut there is little to lie said about the Prussians except that their administrative machine works with unbroken regularity, and with a jmuderous xtwer which is astounding the civilized world.

Men, munitions, ami stores pour to the front in a never-failing current, and every man finds his place when he gets there, npjurently without a jar, and every blow cither of "the three corps strikes, it strikes with all the force of the first hour. The work which in all otlier wars has lieeri the work of a year, is literally crammed by the Prussians into a month. They take the whole male imputation bodily, and without giving cv ii delicate men time to get sick or weary, Hing the mass on the enemy, and again, and again, and again; till he is crushed, and ihe war is over. The terrible rapi.lityiis me of the essential conditions of the system. Snictv is waiting paralyzed at home for the aimv to come lack, ami it has to win quickly at whatever cost.

It Ls pretty certain, too, that murderous as this system if is-the m.st humane of all. it saves the losses by lipase, which in all wars. outnumber the htx-es under fire four to one. 1 TKSTiaOJSiY IX- rOliBTS. We hae looked into the laws of 1S57S lotiml what was the law in regard to the testimony of colored jwrsons, and wc find that the pnr-criptivc laws of 1855 were and that the law was the same, during the trial of the Charley Fislirieise thaf Wn liil not intended tii refer to ibis matter again, and iotIw pwUiiL with the purpiiscly meagre reports wnaai rac have given of the two public meetings in this city.

But an examination of the and of the rqnirt of the trial diows thallh fart was well-known to tlic attorney, in January, 1859, and to i the. -Recorder, ami that the decision of the Recorder was not only against the principles of the copitfion law, against humanity, and, justice and against colored men, but als again-t the plain letter of the statute then in foriv. i This statement will antound those who, hae previously trusted M. S. Adaassy sm6 1 who heard las speeches on Thursday' Friday evenings, lie declared jjial no.

Jujlge cr forgot his decisions, and that lie reiaeair lieretl his decision in the Charley Fisher ease as well as he remembered tlic death of his father. We have no hjubt of.iL And-be knew thai he decided against colored, men and against the law Probably such a brar ku exhibition of deliberate treachery was neer before iwen on a public platform. To those who live away ftoni cflcountyj we ran say tliat tlie lpulilicana "here are unittsl ami tliat' we heheva that they will remain so. lB'ilhtWishTd and in the wards they are opposed, tb' Chrkej ami will remain so.

The ex-Ke- corder's apology was an aggravatioB of the original Oxi: of the saddest effects of thecxeessi'tfe! drought and dryness, is the great Sreswhich, arc raging in the vast forests, of, Cwade. Thcirst ravages of the terrible element were. in he neighborhood of Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion.

In the vicinity of that city, several small villages inhabited mainly by French and Indians, were Ixurned, and many aggravated cases of fiuflering are' reported. The flames nest broke, out near Montreal, where tiie same destructive results, though on a smaller scale, were again witnessed. Now the telegraph reports thai the woods in. New Brunswick are flames, and and that great damage has already lieen The great woodland regions of Maine ofler a rich field for the devouring element, if. they should unfortunately lie visited by it, but the rest of New England need apprehend no' danger from this source.

Remorseless civilization, whichlias swept away most of the beautiful forest, has unintentionally removed one temptation to the flames which the dry season invites. The sufferers by the fire in Canada appeal for aid, and they will lin-doutcdly meet with generous responses, from the benevolent. THE OLATHaV MEETING. I- The Black Bob settlers have 'settled Sid. Clarke.

They have held a meeting at 6la-the to which they invited Clarke more than a month ago to be present, and to explain, if he could, his connection with theBIack Bob steal. The notice was publicly given in all the papers, and was one to which an honest nian would luive been glad to make a response. A sjiecial despatch published in THE Times, told how he avoidwl the issue. "Several thousand persons were present, the swindled settlers ill turning out in procession. The statement of facts presented by the sutlers on the Black Bob lands was read, and Clarke lid not and could not answer it.

The man who should have been their friend, nnil -who" claims to the friend of all our was the jcrson who had robbed tliem. No one is so fully aware of 'this as Clarke himself, and it is not surprising that he skulked away when he was confronted by the poor men whose farms he lias -etolen. lagng facts in this case we liave published many times. We give to-day the beginning and the conclusion of the statement made by the settlers a statement Clarke' will never attempt to answer: In relation to the evils growing out of official abuse and official corruption, the people of Johnson county have deep and all pervading interest, and it is particulary and vitally important to the twelve hundred men, women. and children living on the Black Bob reservation, that the next member of Congress from this State should be incorniptibly and fully pledged, to the extinguishment of every Indian title; in the State, and more tlian Uiat, to the extinguishment of each title in such manner only as will secure every acre of Indian land within the limits of the Stale to actual settlers.

This is not alone a matter of interest to the twelve hundred people living on the Black Bob lands, but a matter of the greatest iiiiiortanco to every taxi payer and every citizen of the county, and touches the hearts and homes of not less than a hundred thousand of the present imputation of and is destined to liave an incalculable influence for weal'or for woe ujibn the future interest and destiny of the entire State. Standing before you, as we do, at the re quest of the settlers on the Black'" Bob re serve, and sficaking to you in behalf of' their special interests, which, in connection with similar interests' of the many thousands of people occupying Indian lands in the 'Stale, exert at this time so powerful an influence in the policy of the whole people, wc find it incumbent upon us to call the special attention of the people, of this country to Mr. Clarke's record on the Black Bob matter. It is with feelings of regret, though with a deep sense of public that necessity of exposing the corruption and dishonesty of a man in whom the people have reposed confidence and entrusted with a high ami responsible publicvtation. This is a duty wc would gladly avoid, and one so (Kiinful tliat we would gladly shrink from its performance on the close of I Clarke's Congressional term, were it not for the fact that he is now seeking a re-election at the hands of the eopIe he has letrayl; were it not for the fact that he has opposed the delegated power of the State to the (interests of the eoplc of this country; were the fact that lie has ti-ed that power to bring uihjii a large portion of the people of John-; son county the most intolerable grievances; were it not for the fact tliat he has used that 'power in the corrupt' interests of speculators, wiuieproicssingio me cuampion ami menu of the settlers; were it not for the ad tliat ho has, from1 time lo time, and always in' the nmst secret manner, surrounded1 settlers with tlic1 most serious ffficulties, and perplexities, and siiifghl fry every means he dare promote the interests of those who were seeking by fraud and corruption, to rob the settlers of their homes.

Wc liave-sliown from the records Uie facts, from the evidence of reliable men, ami from all the circumstances of the cae, that'Mr. Clarke was the enemy of thescttlerHesrly as the fall of 1866; tliat he was thn engaged with speculators in a scheme to get control of tlic Black Bob lands; that; itoofcdirig in Retting patents issued, "Mr. Clarke -was the first man to bring' them to State; that after the patents were issued mm! in his pus-session, he 8ucwsftilly the efforts the Department to recall theni- that when we wcre-aliout securing an amendment to the treaty protecting us in the right topurchase, ami were petitioning tlic fcecretary anrt Commissioner to await the action of tlie Senate, Mr. CLirko'insistcil'on immediate' action; that ailer the i Senate had printed a report' faorablc to the Mr. -Clarke falsely assailed it as a fraudjtaaa a' -rMrtial -presenta tion ol lhe.ase;UiMiWRen me unman opposed.

Thc-Bigamcnical Council will be called by Brigban hitnelf, and will contain no members unless they are practical bigamists. As only Mormons will attend, and Mormons with many wives, as the discussions will be carried on in the Momiom language, and in secret, and as no single-wived newspapers are permitted to be published in the Territory, it is' absolutely certain that Brigham will succeed and be declared infallible, and a divine marriage guide. As soon as the State Convention is over Siil Clarke will go up to Salt Lake as a practical Brighaniite Bigamist. The proper lime to sec Saratoga is thus stated by a correspondent "When day has given place to night; when Terpsichore is goddess of the hour; when everybody comes out in their 'stunningest' to see and be seen, but more particularly the latter; when every body comes upon the stage to act in reality tlie, sentimental apiearance they hare so studiously practised upon; when the Floras and Adolphuscs go into the flirtation business with all their might; when anxious mammas strive to get their 'roeelwda' into the most attractive positions, and buzz and chatter away just as fast as they can, but not one knowing a word the other lays tikis is the time to sec and appreciate Saratoga Springs." Thkbk is a room in Hamburg, where a certain privileged number of bankers and capitalists meet daily, and follow the movements of tlic different Prussian army corps with considerable exactness from information they receive privately.

They calculate the chances of the conflict with a degree of confidence truly surprising, while the funds and exchanges are marvellously influenced by the problems which are there presented and solved. A series of maps on a very large scale are spread upon tables, and tlie different itositions of each corp (f armc, marked by their respective flags, are changed from time to time as advices come to land. According to a circular of Messrs. Aries, Dufour Lyons, the outbreak of war, "as lamentable as has nearly stopped all transactions hi the silk markets at tliat city. Large orders of goods for Germany and Paris were withdrawn; but, on the otlier hand, in consequence of the suspension of work in the silk manufactories of Bhenish Prussia and of many districts of Switzerland, some important purchases hare been made for English ami Russian consumption at reductions not exceeding 10 or 13 per cent.

Davis County, tlie home of Gov. Harvey, will have three delegates in the Convention. Harvey ami Clarke made a combination and secured every one of them. It is a great Harvey and Clarke victory. A regular Louis-and-I Saarbmck.

Junction City is also in Davis County, and it has a Land Begistcr, a Iind Receiver and a U. S. If the three, with the resident Governor, have carried three delegates what may we exiect from the ordinary and tm- fedcral Comities? Do not fail to read the article wc copy from the Fort Scott Monllw, and which shows how Sid. Clarke neglects the luLsinws he is sent to ashington to take care of. It takes thousands of dollars every year to pay men to go' to Washington to watch Sid.

Clarke, If we cannot elect a faithful ami honest man, wc ought to vole for a vacancy. The wople could then draw: the money due Kir salary, mileage, franking and stationery aliout ten thousand dollars a year and usej jt to ay special agents to go to Washington we want work done.

The Clarke men to-night look down in tlie mouth, although did their best, but the ciliaens of Saline county were load in their ilenun-ciaUo4f Clarke. The majority was larger than the anti-Clarke men were expecting. You may set this county down as almost a unit against Clarke. The election was very exciting, as Clarke's officials worked well for which he had paid them and they also looked into the future. We are quite amused here to read the Hon.

S. D. Houston's flamingjetter in the Junction Union of to-day in support of Clarke. We can almost imagine at every fourth line he wrote, "I write this because Clarke gave me office." How blind wc can get when we are benefitted I Last night a large, political meeting has held at the M. E.

It promises to be a good fair; although it is called the Saline County Fair, it Ls really a Western Kansas fair, as comjietitioii is oiencd for all the western part of the State.

Every enterprise of public or private im-portance has had to M-nd delegates to secure success. This has been attended with great expense. It is a reflection on Clarke, and a disgrace to the party.

Pari, August 29 Midnight It Ls lie-licval here, to-night, that a tremendous battle has lecn going on all day, according to all accounts McMahou iniLt have reached the troops 'of Prince Frederick Charles today. Le 1'Mic tstys immrtant military events were e.xected near Montmedy, to-day; events which must exercise a great influence on the situation. It is positively known that all Prussians have been conccntratinc for two days upon iiethel, Vouziers, and Montmedy.

FKOM THE HEADQUARTERS OF TIIE CROWN TRINCE. A correspondent of the 3W6wite with the Crown Prince's heatbpiarters, -XTntes from Xancy, August 21): While GeneraLs Stein-melE and. Prince Frederick Charles have done so well on the right of the main French tinny, the Crowii Prince has occupied a more and more threatening position on the right of the whole French isitiou. Unless Fitil-ley can quickly muster siitlicient force, to cover Central and Southern France, the Empire will lie exposed to imminent danger in a region quite unprep red for defence. Once relieved from the posribiliiy of a movement from the northwanl, the Crowii Priiicc can do pretty much as he likes in other quarters.

The situation near MeU cannot lie k-tter Miiumed lip than by Riyini; th.l 'Jic French army is more than matched by the tint and m.l jo -irmii, ami if these armies should win throughout by a hairs-breadth, the Prussians and their Southern allies in the third army, could do what they pleased with Central France."

Willi this view, he went to Scballenghcim, and had an interview with Maj. Lcsinsky, Chief of the Prussian 'staff.

Sir-gi-ant Shreaves of the 7th United States C.i-alry, Mationed here and Iax: Stewart, were gambling in a game of poker, when they fell out.

Another shot was then fired by Stewart which fatally wounded Shreaves and he is now dead. Stewart has lied and is pursued by the enraged soldiers.
