COLUMBIA, 8. C. Thursday lorain*, Joly 28, 1870. Tue Belligerents. If tho war between Franco and Ger? many, now affirmed to be already begun, has iu view the restoration of tho balance of power and a more satisfactory adjust? ment of the relations of the great powers, wo are puzzled to know what arrangement, can be effected to bring about the result nimed afc. Tho princi? pal powers of Europo wore never before BO near to an equality of forces as they now aro. Franco has 38,000,000 of peo? ple, Austria 36,000,000, and Prussia, with her new accessions and allies, 35,000, 000. Before tho late war betwoen Prus? sia and Austria, the former kingdom was fully a third weaker than her Imperial neighbors. There were left outside of the two great kingdoms of Qermauy a largo number of small States, which woro constantly exposed to the consequences of any quarrels between the two large ones, and whose relations to each other were continually fluctuating, to their own trouble and damage, aud the provo? cation of intrigues and diplomatic con? troversies with their neighbors. It was to eud this troublous aud uncertain con? dition of affairs and briug about a real union of the German people, that Prus? sia initiated her war against Austria. Her aim was to consolidate the German peo? ple under her own lead and direction. She claimed to be eutitlcd to such pro? minence by virtue of her larger Gcrinau population, aud in this she has succeed? ed by arms. Suppose the war should give Franco the extension of her boun? daries to the Rhino, Prussia or Germany would thus be reduced nt least one-third in power and population below Frnuce, with which sha is now equol. At least 9,000,000 of Germans would thus bo cut off from their confederation, and made part and parcel of France, thereby aug? menting that Empfro to suoh giant pro? portions as would render further absorp? tions dependent entirely upon her will, her caprice, her moderation. Would this be a satisfactory balance of power? On the other hand, if Prussia should carry out the ambitious pretension sot up by some of her too ardeut champi? ons, and attempt to regain and restore lo Gorman brotherhood tho old provinco of Alsace and the Moselle, so long held by Frnnco, there would bo alike disturb? ance of the proper aud wiso balance of power. Either result ought to bo depre? cated by all who desiro to sec tho peace of the world preserved, and the horrors of war aud constant strifo betweeu neigh? boring peoples prevented. Speaking of the chief actors iu tho tragod}', tho New Orleans Times says: Tho chief adorn iu the grand drama about to be enacted ou tho European stage do not enjoy tho great advantages of youthful fire aud vigor. King Wil? liam of Prussia is seveuty-four, Louis Napoleon isiu his sixty-second year, aud, besides, is greatly afflicted with thc gout, having to wear shoes much too large for his foot. Ou tho other hand, Bismarck ia similarly afflicted. In his case it is called rheumatism, but we ima?iuo both aro meeting tho drafts upou old age of their youthful excesses. They wore alike wild youug men, and were iuvolved in their younger days in mauy asad scrape. Ambition aud favorable events turned their natural vigor, which was long wast? ed in revelry and mad adventures, into the political channel, aud for the last fif? teen or tweaty years they have bceu tho leadiug rulers of political sontimaufc aud of the destiuy of nations iu Europe. Tiley are, iu fact, the only prominent stutesmeu on the continent. Old King William is a grim old soldier, a rigid martinet, but a mau of iuteuso national? ity. He carno to tho throne when quito au old mau, and had a nong tho gravo nud serious Prussians the boue?t of a very favorable contrast with his predeces? sor, jolly old Frederick William IV, vul? garly styled "Old Clicquot," from his excessive bibulosity. The contrast be twoeu the two monarchs was ns striking as that betweeu jolly Charles ll of Eng? land and his saturuiuo aud superstitious successor, James II. The broad, red, jolly face of Frede? rick William, who, iu 1818, pledged his faith to the peon!o aud the Constitution* ou tho most democratic basis, is au agreeable relief to tho stern and severo visage of tho old martinet Kiug, who now wields tho sceptre over 40,000,000 of a war-like people Next to tho mouavchs aud the chief minister of tho belligerent natious, their principal generals attract attention. The objec? tion of senility applies to these on both sides. Tho Prussian armies aro practi? cally under tho direction of chieftains far advanced iu life. Von Moltko and Von Roou, tho great tacticians and directors of tho campaign of 18?G, aro septuagenarians. They aro looked to, in tho pr?sout emergency, ns tho great flue;laius to lead thu Prussian armies to certain and glorious victories. Tho French Marshals, too, are old mou -Vailliant and D'llillior;;, far too old for active service. Tho youngest of them, McMahon, is sixty-four, aud Bn zainc, who commanded iu Mexico, and who* did uot consider himself too old to imitate Polissier, by tak? ing uuto himself a young wife, is sixty-uiuo. Caurobert is at least seven? ty, and wo presumo will command iu some garrison or remain at headquarters. Meu ol' these ages would hardly be called . into active sorvice ia any wars in this country, but they wear better in Europe, both ia the military and iu civil service. For a short and vigorous campaign, re? quiring great knowledge of details and exp?rience in moving und conceutratiog troops, these veterans may prove more capable and efficient than younger chief? tains. Should the war be prolonged, the chiefs and heroes will spring up, uo doubt, with the emergency, and neither power will want proper loaders. It is thou the superiority of the French system of rapid promotion of subaltern?, and even from the ranks, will bo illus? trated as it was in the times of Napoleon the First. Every Freuch soldier ima? gines ho carries a marshal's baton ia his knapsaok. The example of Soult, of Noy, of Juuot, of Lannes, of Murat, and scores of other military heroes, are ever present to stimulate tho gul lau try, dar? ing, enterprise and ambition of thc com? mon soldier. The Prussian military system, ou the othor hand, recognizes the claims of aristocratic muk, and exacts more rigid tests of capacity and service from the mil? itary aspirant. It remains to be proved which system is the moro favornble to military success, national glory and re? nown. The Convention-Col. Graham, EX'Dc> mocrat, From the first day's proceedings in the Radical Convention, it will be seeu that Col. P?. F. Graham, a receut convert, made his debut iu his.uow role. Ho com? plains that his old political nssooiates, without inquiring into tho reasons that have controlled his action, are disposed to give him tho cold shoulder. Wo fail to discover in Col. Graham'? remarks that his reasons are satisfactory. Not all his services iu thc past eau, iu our judgment, sanction his political attitude, and it is our duty, as a public journalist, to say that wo caunot perceive how tho Stato is to bo benefittedb}* such political conduct ns that prescribed by Col. G. for himsolf. Wo differ with him in tolo. No good is to be dono by joining that or gauizatiou with which Col. G. has cast iu his fortunes. Bather do we hold it to bo tho duty of tho good citizeu stern? ly to oppose it, until, by tho grace of God and our own resolution, thc powers of government shall bo wrested from it and placed in hands more competent, moro impartial and more honest. Col. Graham thinks that ouly by cm bracing radicalism thc negro's confidence eau bo won. If this is tho only way this can bo done, then let it bo spurned for? ever. Col. G. aud all concm?tqg with him are welcome to all the results"tfant may spring from such confidence. As for tho whito people of South Carolina, wo believo that they are ready to concede to the colored population of tho State all their rights, and to give them equal aud exact justice; but they will never descom? to the plane of radicalism, aud, least of all, to that plano upon which radicalism slauds iu South Carolina. And this we will say, that the present Couveution may exhibit their "measure? less arrogance" aud iudulgo in visions of continued power, but the time will come whoa tho powers of tho State will not always rest in their present bauds, atwl" this body now in session may well bear this iu wholesome recollection. INDIAN SAGACITY AND ELOQUENCE. Some of tho Indians who have recently been on a visit to Washington possess not only eloquence of a high order, but considerable natural wit, or it ismanufac turcd for them. For instance, the Wash? ington correspondent of the New York Herald states that during au interview bet ween Commissioner Parker and Litllo Swan, tho former asked tho latter if his chiofs aud young braves would agree with him as to peaco and have good hearts. Tho chief remarked that ho had visitod Congress and found tho mem? bers there disagreeing. It was tho same way with his people at home. The question was asked how ho became a great chief. Ho replied, by his deeds in battle. Somo ono suggested, "by killing people?" "Yes," ho quiokly re? sponded, "tho same as tho Great Father in tho Wbito House." Cuors OF TOE UNITED STATES.-Tho latest estimates of tho Agricultural De? partment indicato that tho wheat crop will foll short of that of 1S69 by 18,000, 000 bushels. Tho coru crop is lurgely above au average; while tho cotton crop will amount to less than 3,500,000 bales, and with a "long season" but littlo short of -1,000,000 bales. With ample crops and high prices, resnltiug from the pre? valence of a war in Eurolie, farmers will have littlo causo for complaint. Lato advices from Havana iudicatc tho possibility of a pronuueiumento, at au carly day, for tho purpose of erecting tho over faithful isle into a monarchy, under a Bourbonist King. Nearly all tho Spaniards of wealth and prominence in Havana owo their good fortuno to thc lato Queen, or, nt least, to her family, and are bitterly hostilo to the action of tho present Cortes in according repre? sentation to tho Cubans. Such a move? ment at tho prcsuut juncturo is at least possible. A colored justice at Savannah ?H trying to lind out what Dogberry is, as a paper ? there called him, and he thinks it some-1 thing "unrebugel" to his dignity. Minority Representation. A London correspondent of the New York World chronicles o victory won by its advocates in Parliament. He says: The principle of the representation of minorities turned up very unexpectedly tho other night in the House of Oom moue, and aohieved an equally unexpect? ed and satisfactory victory. Two years ago, you will remember, when the House of Lords wcro in the very aot of making theil' famous "leap in the dark" by pass? ing the reform bill, they suddenly con? ceived thc idea of breaking their fall by providing some means for securing the representation of minorities, and in their haste and trepidation, they hit upon tho most clumsy and least commendable me? thod of securing that end-the expedi? ent of crippling or reducing the voting power of both mujority and minority by the establishment of "three-cornered constituencies." The House of Com? mons have now acted with equal haste, but with much more wisdom, aud in providing for tho election of school boards uuder the new education bill, they have adopted thc rational aud sim? ple pinn of leaving each man, as at pre? sent, as many votes as there aro offices to fill, and conferring on him the new pri? vilege of accumulating his votes on oue candidate, or distributing them among all tho candidates, ns ho may choose. Hero is tho provision: "At every such electiou, every voter shall bo entitled to a number of votes equal to tho number of the members of tho echool board to be elected; aud may give all such votes to oue candidate, or may distribute them among the candidates, as ho thinks fit." Under this arrangement, which cortainly is plain and clear enough, every party will be able to obtain iu each boaid au amount of representation proportionate to its members in the community. If a board is to consist of niue members, and tho "secularists," for itistancc, form one third of the constituency, the}' will be able, by each of them dividing his niuo votes equally among three candidates, to secure one-third of tho board, to which, under the common rule of majorities, they could not elect even ono member. In the samo manner, the Human Catho? lics, if they form ouly one-ninth of thc constituency, could obtain one-ninth of the representation, by each of them giv ! ing all his nine votes to one candidate, j It is remarkable that although Mr. Glad I stone and Mr. Forster have both repeat j edly declared their hostility to the prin? ciple of minority representation, they j both avowed their conviction of tho ex? pediency of adoptiug it for this purpose. It is difficult to understand why a prin? cipio that is good in the electiou of a j school board should uot bo equally good ? iu the electiou of members of Parlia? ment. Every ono knows, of course, that ? even the present clumsy, three-cornered I system enables tho Tories to return ; some members whom they would other? wise lose; and it is equally certaiu that i should the principle, now to be adopted j for the election of education boards, be j extended to Parliamentary contests, they would bo able to return still more. If thc present Government were composed simply of politicians, this consid?ration j would be enough to explain their avowed j dislike to tho extension of tho principle; i but the Government, in fact, isVompos I ed of statesmen, who should be above j such petty ?iud partisan views. How? ever, wo shall soon seo how the new sys j tem works in the election of school ? boards, and if it w orks well, its extension ! to Parliamentary and municipal elections i will bo all thc easier. _, # ^,_ j DISINTEGRATING.-The Republican I party having finished its mission on the negro question, is threatened with inter? nal dissensions on tho great political questions of the day, which will inevita? bly rend it in twain. Iudepcudeut ol tho radical differences of its leaders upou the finances of the country, thc question of free trade has caused such ?i split in its ran h s as to causo sober thinkiug men in the North and West tc predict its thorough overthrow in the approaching elections. Thc Chicago Tribune, a leading Republican journal, has long sinco taken ground against itt parly on this question, and now we find tho Post, of that city, one of the spiciest, as it is one of tho most radical sheets iu tho Union, leading oil from its party OD tho same issue. In a recent issue, aftei replying to some charges made againsl it to tho effect that it was about tc abnudon its party, it says: Tho highest duty of Republicans, whe are such because of their devotion tc human freedom, and not because Re publicauism "can be made to pay," is tc grapple this evil with the promptness that they grappled with slavery. They need not hesitate, lest they do injury tc existing industries which have grown up under bad laws. The great industrial establishments-thoso which make iron, cotton cloths, woolens, salt, agricultural machinery; those which miuo coal, silver, gold, lead; thoso which build ships, aud those which have heretoforo made the countless articles of commerce, culled "Yaukee notions," aro superior to the robbery called "Protection." Undera revenue turill', and a return to specie payments, they would flourish with new vigor aud profit. As for ogriculture, the basis of ull human civilization, thc grotiud-work of all just government, aud tho majestic tower of tho country's strength-it must havo relief! Tho price of Western wheat, corn, meals, cot?on, tobacco, and so forth, is fixed at Liver? pool. Wc demand that tho articles that wc want, therefore, from Liverpool, or anywhere else, shall bo had at Liverpool prices, burdened only with taxes for the support of tho ropublic; and that thc gate-ways at every American port of entry, which tax all tho farmers uso, to thc extent of fifty per cent., ad valorem, for the benefit of the greedy and unscru? pulous monopolists who have control ol Congress, shall be more widely thrown open. And open they will come! RADICAL CUAIVLATANS-HOW MUCH THE ?ODTUETIN NEOKO OWES THE YAN? KEE.-Tho government supervisor with a long Polish name who addressed the negroes at Atlanta in their Fifteenth Amendment celebration, told them they should voto for the Radicals because they (the Radicals) had fought for their free? dom. If this argument is worth any? thing, why should it not include thc Northern Democrats, who ulfo fought in tho late war and quite as bravely as the Radicals, and, if tho freedom of tho ne? gro was the object, aro entitled lo quite as much gratitude as the Radical? ? But tho argument is worthless, because it is based on falso premises. It is not true that the war was fought to secure the freedom of the negro. In its incep? tion and during its progress Congress, over aud over again, declared that no such purpose was contemplated. It as? sured thc South in most solemn resolu? tions that the Federal Government had no intention of interfering with uiavory, and that the solo object ot* the war was to preservo the Union of thc States. It offered sacred pledges that if wc would como back, not a negro should be freed, and Mr. Lincolu sealed them with his approval. Throughout tho war thc cu? tir? press of the North disavowed all in teutiou to interfere with slavery, and upou au intimation from some source that tho freedom of tho negro would re? sult, General Grant openly declared that if it was to bc an abolition tear he would hare nothing to do irith it, but would re? sign his place at the head of tho army and go home. This is history, aud it is shameful for partisan orators to bu de? luding the negro wilh statements that ure palpably false. But how came thc negro to be freed ? This is an interesting question, and the answer is also historical. Thc matter was openly and fully discussed at the time, and the reasons for thc movement are a maller of record. The war was not fought for thu negro's freedom, but he was set free in order that it might be fought successfully. In other words, the Yankees found themselves in a tight place and freed the ucgio in r/Vder save themselves /mm a severe whipping, lt was au inducement held out to thc ne? groes to ru-iuforce the Federal armies, which were well nigh exhausted, both in their patriotism nud their strength. Mr. Lincoln frankly said that but for the help of thc negro tho Union would have gone hy thc board. On which side, then, was the obligation-on the side of thu negro or ou the side of the Yankee ? Clearly the latter. Tho Yankees are in? debted to thu negroes for everything by their confession, but have the hardihood at this day to stand up und tell the blacks they are under lasting obligations to the Yankees "who fought for their freedom !" Freedom was one of the necessities of thc war, not its object, and every sensible mau knows it. Ita proclamation was preceded by a long and fierce struggle, Mr. Lincolu opposing it with all Iiis might, and he never yielded until it was proved to his satisfaction that the North could not whip thc South unless some of the negroes were induced to light on the j side of the former. The North believed it would weaken the Southern army and j strengthen their own. Here is the whole j ease and radical oratora know it. It was | not the result of good will to thc negro, for they cared nothing abort him, no more than they would now if they bo I ic ved his rut-: was not indispensable in helping them to office The negroes of thc South are fast finding out these things, nud the utter] hollowness and duplicity of radical pro- j fessions. Consequently, they are every? where turning their backs upon tho party, and either voting with thc Lemo- | crats or keeping away from the polls. They see tho selfishness of the Yankee in freeing them, a philanthropic cmo lion that never sparkled in their right? eous bosoms when they had negroes of their own. It is a very cheap philan? thropy that frees other people's negroes.' When the Yankees had slavory, they passed emancipation laws to take effect far in the future, aud before the time arrived ran their negroes South and sold them, as they supposed, iuto per? petual slavery, despite the laws passed for their freedom and in utter violation of good faith. And yet some of these same people now travel over the South, and il) order to cheat tho poor African out of his vote and turu him against his whit? neighbors and best friends, cram his hoad with thc falsehoods and hypo? critical professions which we have ex? posed. Let thc black man be wise, for bc is approaching a crisis in his history. [Sal annah Republican.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.-In view of tho prospects of u terrible war in Europe, and the already short crops there, it is presumed there will be a large demand upon America for grain and subsistence stoics. Our farmers, particularly at the South, will, therefore, it is thought, find it to their advantage to uuiko .iud savo as much corn and wheat as ?lossiblc, for by next winter the product of an acre in corn may be worth in cash more than un acre's yield iu cotton, lt is important, too, that tho lato crops of every kind should receivo unusual attention. Hay, peas, turnips, barley and ^e, for winter grazing, potatoes, Sec., will all go far to eking out thc supply of corn and wheat. HOTKT, ARRIVALS, July 27.- Columbia /lotet.-Ansley D. Cohen, P.
