Ttoe New Frcncla Position.
Marshal Bazaine, says tho New York
World, has broken through his silence
fio far os to telegraph to Paris official
news of a victory over the Prussians in
a battle delivered by him from the new
and formidable position which, as we
have already set forth, ho hos succeeded,
despito all the efforts of tho Prince Fre?
derick Charles and of Gen. von Stein?
metz, in taking up. That it was a vital
point with the Prussians to prevent the
French from establishing themselves on
the line of the Chiers, in full communi?
cation with Verdun ou the one side and
Thiouville on the other, is plain, not
only from the character of the country
as a glance at any good ore-graphical and
hydrographioal map reveals it, but from
the extraordinary efforts made by their
choicest troops under their best generals
to accomplish this purpose. We need
not wait for the tardy and terrible de?
tails of these sanguinary days to be suro
that all that valor, science, aud a lavish
disregard of human life ooulddo to keep
the armies of France asunder was done
by the Prussian generals. But it eau no
longer bo doubted that all was done in
vain.
If the army of Marshal Bazaiuo is not
already in communication with the forces
established by Troohu at Chalons, aud
with the corps of McMahon-which, at
the latest accounts, had successfully
evaded the pursuit of the Crown Prince
-the junction of these armies can no
lougor be prevented by the Prussians.
The victory won by the French at Mars
la-Tour, a village considerably to the
East and South of Etain, must have
pushed tho armies of Von Steinmetz aud
Prince Frederick Charles back close upou
tho Mozelle.
It is hardly too much to say that the
question whether tho Prussians can main?
tain thomselves at all to the West of
their original line of a month ago do
peuds uow upou tho readiness or uou
readiness for immediate uctiou of the
large body of French troops at Cha
lous.
This is certainly a great change from
the position of affairs even less than a
week ago; and, if we are to roly ou any
of tho data we receive from Europo, it
must be conceded that Trochu and Ba?
zaine have already shown very great aud
brilliant ability in their recovery of a
tremendously jeopardized campaign.
Pendiug tho Congressional canvass, it
is very important that Democrats every?
where shall heed tho advice of our Con?
gressional Committee, and see that their
candidates are men to whose admission
to Congress, if elected, there eau bo no
obstacle. lu determining this point re?
gard must be had not only to tho four?
teenth amendment, but also to tho iron?
clad test-oath. The fourteenth amend?
ment contains tho following:
SEC. 3. No person shall bo a Souator
or Representative to Congress, or elector
of President aud Vice-president, or hold
any office, civil or military, .under tho
United States or uuder any State, who,
having previously taken nn oath, as a
member of Congress, or as un officer of
the United States, or as a member of
any State Legislature, or as au executive
or judical officer of uuyS?tate, to support
the Constitution of the Uuited States,
shall have engaged iu insurrection or re?
bellion against the same, or giveu aid
aud comfort to the euemics thereof. But
Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds
of each House, remove such diability.
This exoludes all citizens who, pre?
vious to the rebellion, had held any
Federal or State office which required
them to swear to support the Constitu?
tion; but it does not exclude anybody
for simple participation in the rebellion,
not even if ho was an officer of tho Con?
federate Government, or a military officer
iu its service. Hence, some have in?
ferred that such persons aro not de?
barred from admission to Congress.
By tho fourteenth amendment, they
arc uot, certainly; but what is called the
iron-clad test oath, which is inflexibly
administered to the members, shuts out
all who cannot take it. This oath, re?
quired by thc Act of July '2, 18152, which
is still iu force, is in the following
words:
I, A. B., do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I have never voluntarily borne arms
agaiust tho United States since I have
been a citizen thereof; that I have volun?
tarily giveu uo aid, countenance, council
or encouragement to perseus engaged in
armed hostility thereto; that I have uei
thor sought nor accepted nor attempted
to exercise tho fuuetions of any office
whatever under auy authority or pre?
tended nnthority iu hostility to the
Uuited Stales; that I have uot yielded a
voluntary support to any preteuded go?
vernment, authority, power or constitu?
tion within the Uuited States hostile or
iuituical thereto. Aud I do further swear
(or uQirm) that, to tho best of my know?
ledge and ability, I will support and do
feud tho Constitution of the Uuited
States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith aud
allegiance to the same; that I take this
Obligation freely, without any mental re?
servation or parp?se of evasion, and
that I will well and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office on which I am
about to enter, BO help mo God.
It is certain that this oath will bo en?
forced; that every member elect who
cannot take it will be excluded, and that
one or two such exclusions may prevent
the Democrats from controlling the next
House. A modified oath was provided
iu 1868. for those membors only whose
disabilities under the fourteenth amend?
ment have been removed by Act of Con?
gress.
TUE WAK TELEGRAMS FROM EUROPE.
Thero is no doubt that muoh scrutiny
has to bo oxeroised in reading the fo?
reign advices, coming as they do through
difforent sources, all more or less tinc?
tured by national or partisan sympathies.
Many improbable things are thus sent
the long and costly distauco over tho
ocean, aud among them has boen moro
than onoe reports, without an apparent
effort to got at the truth, of the death of
the Emperor Napoleon. He may be im?
perially defunct, bub not corporeally as
yet. Thero is an abundance of stirring
events to communicate without the send
iug of suoh loose statements iu regard to
so important e. matter.
Then, too, after all the stories which
wo have recoived about the flight of the
Empress, it turus out that she is still iu
Paris, busily occupied in making prepa?
rations for tho succor of tho wounded.
She may be wisely making some provi?
sion for the future, howover, by scuding
some effects abroad. Tho Priuco Impe?
rial appears to be still with his father,
who really keeps towards tbo frout, whe?
ther ill or uot, as reported. Thero are
many other matters which have been
quito as loosely dealt with. Many of the
statements of tho Loudon papers are
mere assumptions also.
GRANT'S PROCLAMATION.-Late de?
spatches from Washington iuferm us
that President Grout has issued a neu?
trality proclamation. Well, it is some
consolation to know that our President
has at last discovered that there aro bel?
ligerents somewhere, and that he could
ccaso smoking aud talking horso long
euough to issue a proclamation. Why
did he not wait until the war in Europo
was fiuished? He might as well havo
dono so, for all tho good his proclama?
tion can do. Ho even thinks it is neces?
sary to state that if auy Americau violates
tho neutrality law iu Europe, that Ame?
rican will not be protcctod by the Uuited
States. This is simply a superfluity on
tho part of President Grant. We never
hoard of his administration having cou?
rage euough to protect au}' Americau ou
foreign soil. No Americau ever thought
ho would be protected cveu from insult
on forcigu soil, or, if ho did, Geuerul
G ra j t's courso since ho bocamo Presi?
dent must have driveu tho baliuciuutiou
far out of mind long ago. President
Graut has beeu summering at Loug
Branch, aud, fur thc sake of thc nation,
we hope he. will now conclude to winter
there also.
"Kl tu Brute.*1
This was the unkindest cut of all.
That Judgo Orr, identified with us bj
birth and interests, and having so often
enjoyed tho confidence and support of
our people in his aspirations for respon?
sible and honorable positions, should
strive to cripple au effort fraught with
interest to tho people of tho entire State,
is moro than ungrateful. That, forget?
ting his calling and position, ho should
enter tho political arena, and, by false
promises and fallicions reasoning, strive
to entice away tho colored accessions to
the reform party, is unworthy his past
record. That ho should assert, as truths,
what ho know to be false, and by argu?
ments based on them deceive and mis?
lead tho negro to a blind support of thc
radical party, which ho admits to be
corrupt, is a stop lower than the enemies
of Orr would havo conceived for him.
He knows tho radical party never waged
war for tho freedom of the negro. Pre
j sideut Lincoln and Congress time and
again affirmed that they did not design
to interfere with slavery. The negro
I knows this, and shall we excuse an ex
I Congressman through ignorance. Thc
j political somersaults ol* Orr have been a
j by-word since 1850, but his enemies
I never gnvo him credit for that want of
! moral character his own letter affixes to
him. Should his conclusions prove cor?
rect, and Scott and Kansier bo elected,
cnn our people forged that letter, which,
j with a view to sell-defence, abounds in
I low appeals to tho negro and poor white
men? The question is uot who made
this or that law, but is tho ruling party
incomp?tent, corrupt and extravagant?
Judge Orr says, yes. Are the rights of
the negro equally secure iu each party?
Ile says, politically, thero is no distinc?
tion in tho parties, so far as tho rights
of the colored mau are concerned. Theil
is it not thc interest of tho colored mun
to havo an honest, economical and wise
government, and if so, why cnn he not
bo induced, by legitimate arguraeut, to
join the party which has this object spe?
cially in viow? Neither truth nor integ?
rity, nor logic, furnishes a key to his
Honor's position. Mathematics is tho
man. -Koo ieee Co urier.

[Extract from Charleston Republiccan.
Mit. EDITOR: Tho Scott party manu?
facture so many lies to carry their elec?
tion, that our people think it beneath
their diguity to notico them. Indeed,
it is foolish in respectable people to pay
any attention to their fabrications. Wo
are induced to make this pointed and
plain remark, from the simple fact that
they havo alargo number of tale-bearers,
disturbers of tho peaco and unmitigated
liars running all over tho country to
make capital for tho sole purpose of in?
fluencing tho voto for the coming Con?
gressional and State election. Yet wo
have laid, aside our dignity for once,
merely to give tho following plaiu aud
correct statement:
On Saturday, tho Gth iustaut, one
white-colored mau, by thc name of
Howcrton, (of whom the Charleston
News spoaks as being lashod for watch
stealing,) and two oolored men, (said to
be employed to work ou the railroad,)
armed with pistols, attacked a colored
Democrat, and tried to force him to
confess radicalism. He swore he would
not. On Monday following, the same
party came in contact with the Demo?
crat, and one of them commenced curs?
ing him, and a fight ensued between tho
two-the Democrat victorious. Sufiico
it to say, tho above party have been
tryiug to croate disturbances for somo
time, by drawing pistols on quiet parlies,
but no one cares anything about it.
But, now, Mr. Editor, why is this in?
famous conduct permitted? Is uot the
civil law supreme? We have but one
auswer, aud that is, that this wholesale
lieing and slander grows ont of the sel?
fish designs of the unscrupulous and
unprincipled party in power. This party
complain at harsh words used against
them, but the English language fails to
coutuin words expressive of their deserts.
Mauj' of the freedmen are disgusted with
such conduct as they witness over our
County. They see, tow, tho party must
be hard pressed. The whites and co?
lored people would elect men who would
do both parties justice, if ouly lot aluue.
Wo do uot, however, blame the iguorant
freedmeu, for they aro blinded and de?
ceived. In almost overy instance, tho
bad conduct of fredmeu is iustigated by
designing white nun. Our whites are
disposed to give them all the rights they
enjoy themselves, and it is disgraceful to
his Excellency to permit such couduob as
interferes with tho peace and quiet be?
tween them. He nud his party know
too well that we purpose no violence, or
infringement of their rights, aud their
ouly object is to encourage a hatred and
bitterness, so that tho colored vote can
bo controlled for his own and his par\y
election. Hts Exceiieucy permits his
menials to provoke and commit any out?
rage against those who oppose him, and
when this is unbearable, aud a collison
ensues, it is at ouce heralded that it is the
Democrats. Who, thou, is responsible
for all those acts of lieing, of outlaw and
bloodshood? They say it is tho Demo?
crats. This song has been so loug sung
that everybody knows it, and the party
can make it no longer effectual.
Nov/, Mr. Editor, this disturbance
amounts simply to this: There are some
unprincipled white men who wish and
labor to keop up these disturbances, and
ouly a few colored, I um glad to know,
go heartily with them, and the white
people, generally, care as little for it as
the braying of au ass or croaking of a
frog. CLINTON.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.-On the
17th day of March, 1S70, Judge Janies
L. Orr was interviewed by a correspon?
dent of tho New York Ti'ibune, and gave
utterance to tho following severe denun?
ciation of the radical party, with which
ho ia now associated:
"The results of the last three years
have satisfied the people that all the pre
seut evils of which they complain, might
have been averted by showing to tho co?
lored voters that they intend to mniutuiu
their new rights. Large numbers of the
best men iu South Carolina ure even |
now willing to espouse Republican prin
eiples, aud would doubtless do so but for j
the distrust which, tts gentlemen of cha?
racter und intelligence, they naturally
entertain toward those who, by accidental
circumstances, have been placed iu the
lend ol* the Republican party-men who1
do not, and never il iii enjoy public con?
fidence; men who are iguoraut, corrupt,
dishonest and unfit, by reason of their
early associations, for decent societj*. !
They were adroit enough, however, to ;
make the more ignorant among the ne
groes believe them to be their best
friends, and by employing all the arts of
the demagogue, aud nu unscrupulous uso
of disgraceful agencies, they succeeded :
in being elected to thu most important
offices in the State."
FOUND DEAD.-Acting Coroner Janies j
N. Hay uti held an inquest in Aiken, S. C.,
on tho 23d instant, over tho body of |
Mrs. Sarah Lee Porter, who was found j
dead in her room on tho samo day. Tho j
jury rendered a verdict, in accordance !
with Dr. Coffin's opinion, that the de- j
ceased died of hemorrhage of tho lungs.

DEATH OF CAPT. A. S. GAILLARD.-It
is our paiuful duty to announce to the
public the death of our esteemed young

residence in this District, on Monday j

Whatever may be the truth about the
state of affairs at the seat of war iu
France, there eau be uo doubt that Paris
has found a tower of strength for tho
nation's need in tho oalm, high-souled,
and resolute bearlug of her new military
commander, General Trochu. Tho cabio,
with much that is wild and worthies?,
this morning brings ns an extract from a
letter written by this now illustrious
Frenchmau on the situation aud tho re?
sources of his country, which is worthy
of the best days of thu best republics.
Amid the diu of arms aud the roar of
battle the words of Trocho sound clear
and high, maintaining tho immortal
supremacy of courage over tho mere in?
struments of courage, of moral force
over the mnchiuery by which moral force
vindicates aud executes itself. Anil
these are not the words of a dreamer
like Lamartine, or of a rhetorician like
Victor Hugo.
They are the words of a soldier who
wns a citizen before ho became a soldier,
and remains a citizcu s^ill; of a general
who remomhers that tho proudest omi
the most powerful of armies has no real
claim on tho respect of mankind save ns
thu right hand of law in the maintenance
of liberty. It is long since such words
as these have beeu heard from the high
places of power in any country of Eu?
rope. Almost never havo such words as
these been heard from tho high places
of power iu any part of tho world while
war was thundering at tho hearts und
distracting tho brains of men. Tho sol?
diers who have saved States threatened
as Franco is threatened now have for thc
most part worshipped the sword which
served them.
Gen. Trochu has made for himself a
niche apart iu tho annals of his order.
It reniaius now to be seen whether twen?
ty years of intoxicating prosperity nuder
tue empire, and twenty years of political
corruption under the House of Orleans,
have left to Fruuce tho moral force ne?
cessary to support him as a free people
should support the le.der who, in the
face of a victorious foreign foe, refuses
to lower either tho standard of law or
the flag of tho nation. If that moral
force be found iu France, tho most bril?
liant victories iu the field, it may in the
end be proved, would have served her
less truly than the defeats by which it
has been evoked. Tho armies of thc
European coalition marching against tho
republic ol' 1792, roused Fruuce to a
sense of her material strength, which
made her for twenty years the terror of j
the world. The armies of Prussia
marching agaiust the empire of 1832,
bid fair now to rouse her to a sense of
her moral strength, which may well
uchiovo for her quite auothor aud n lof?
tier destiny among the nations. Tho in?
terests of the stock exchange and tho
gold gamblers haug about the skirts of
battle like the prowlers on tho dreadful
field where the dead lio helpless, aud
their spoil invites the spoiler.
The higher aud nobler iuterests of hu
mauity take wiug to-day from the eusan
guiuod plains of Champngue to watch
tiie loftier drama beginning uow iu Paris.
The armies of a Prussiau king may suc?
ceed iu casting dowu an empire; but that
will be but a iittio matter tu France if, in
doing it, they build un a State.

A SAD STORY.-A lady residing on the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Railroad, u
few days ago, missed her child, a little
girl of five years, aud went out on the
track to search for it, and there found its
mangled body lying across a rail, it hav?
ing been run over by a passiug train.
The mother upon seeing this, fainted.
Previous to her goiug out, she laid a
sleeping bubo on the bed and threw over
it a thin covering. When tho woman
was found in the insensible condition,
the neighbors, who were ignorant of the
fact that the child was in tho bed, placed
her in it, and it was not until socio time
afterward that tho fact was ascertained.
As soou as it was known, tho babe was
tukeu out of tho bed, but those iu tho
room were shocked to leam that it was
quite dead, haviug beeu suffocated by
the unconscious mother or some of those
waiting upon her.

Count Von DIoltclce.
A correspondent of the Now York
lahnes says :
But tho lending spirit of tho army
tho "fucittime princeps"-is Count
Moltcke. He was born in 1800, but nt
tho first glance, neither his looks nor
his deportment seem to betray him, and
a casual observer certainly would give
him no more than fifty years. I had tho
good fortune of being his vis-a-vis at
dinner for two consecutive days. It is
needless to say that etiquette forbids
"interviewing" in this part of the world.
Moreover, nuy attempt in that direction
would have proved, uuder auy circum?
stances, a dead failure, inasmuch as his
reticence has becomo almost a by-word.
Although like many other great Gene?
rals, Count Moltcke is little inclined to
bo talkative, ho is considered ns one of
the greatest linguists in Prussia. I had
tho fullest opportunity of closely observ?
ing and minutely scrutiuizing this groat
man, and I confess I was literally charm?
ed. The mieu of modesty and his re?
tiring manner was oxtrotnely wiuning.
In my peregrinations through tho world,
I have often had occasiou to observo and
even to admiro tho calm and apparent
unconcerned maimer displayed by great
heroes or prominent statesmen. But on
further examination, I have invariably
beon doomed to disappointment. Sim?
plicity turned out, as it wore, morely a
matter of education; tho taciturn und re?
tiring demeanor proved to be the result
of mannerism. In fact, I had to learn
that these men thought and felt liko other
mortals. But I was forcibly impressed
that this must bc otherwise with Count
Moltcke, and I was irresistibly reminded
that no man was ever great without some
degree of divine inspiration: "Nemo vir
mannus sine qtfiatu aliqno divino nuqnam
fuU."
Persons who hesitate to believe that
Prussia is folly prepared to meet tho
dangers of the impending struggle, will
find in tho mien and deportment of
Couut Moltcke unmistakable evidence
that nothing has been neglected to ren?
der the position of his country invinci?
ble. They will find that be carries with
him the conviction that his array is un?
conquerable. All that forethought and
human skill eau devise has been provided
for. He is contented to leave thc rest to
thc Lord of Hosts.
