TIIE FOREIGN WAR.

Alliances nod Combination).His Impossible, at this time, to form any intclll

gent idea as to the alliances and combinations thatway be formed by either or the principals to the present war. Jt can hardly be supposed that Spainwhose action in regard to the crown was the liiimedlate cause of the dilllculty will Rive any greattrouble to France, as a civil war will in all proba-bility now break out in that country between thedifferent factions the Bourbons, the Republicansand tbe Regency. It Is reported of Austriathat she will maintain tier neutrality, unless a thirdrower should interfere. It is Raid that Holland wilbe neutral. Jt is uDnounccd that both belligerentswill r( spect the neutrality of Belgium. It appearsthat Bavaria will for the present maintain an atti-tude of reserve. It was announced some days agothat Prince Napoleon had gone to Copenhagen, amiit was surmised that his mission was to form a spe-cial alliance with Denmark in view of contingencies.1". is unlikely that Sweden In the north, or Switzer-land In the south, will play any part In the war. Italywill doubtless maintain an attitude of observationand neutrality. It Is hardly worth whllo to form aconjecture as to the conduct of Eogland and Russia

both of which powers will doubticss, however,wait for the development of events. Some days agoMr. Gladstone said in Parliament that "France hadthreatened to proceed to extremities; and shouldr ie persist in executing her threats. Her Majesty's(iovernment would exhaust every means to preventwar upon a case bo little warranting It."

But at a still later date he said that "the BritishGovernment, in common with the European Cabi-nets, sustained the position taken by the Duke deGrarcont, which was that Spain was entitled tochoose any one for king except a German prince."

The cbanccs and probabilities of the case, how-ever, as thev seem at the present hour, mar becharged In a single day, or by a single Incident. Onepower or another maybe drawn into the conflict;and irom the present dilllculty we may see a generalEuropean war which will not be terminated till the

map of Europe" ib reconstructed In several Im-portant respects.

Tbe French unci German Generals.It was telegraphed a few days since that Marshal

McMahon would be put In immediate command otthe army operating upon the Rhine, and that CountPalikito would command the troops operatingagainst Spain. Marshal McMahon distinguishedhimself in the last two great wars of France thatagainst Russia and that against Austria in theformer of which he was the "hero of the Jtfala-kotr- ,"

and lu the latter the "hero of Magenta."lie Is now 63 years old, and Is a Frenchmanby birth, but descended from an ancient Irishfamily, lie was educated at tbe military school ofSt. Cyr, and took part in the French war in Algeria.For his achievements in the Austrian war he wascreated Duke of Magenta, Marshal Bazalne is esyears old, won bis first laurels in Algeria, renderedeminent services in the Crimean war, supersededby General Forey as commander of the French armyin Mexico, and was created Marshal of France.Count Palikao Is chiefly known for the part he borein the French war with China, in which he displayedability and ferocity.

Of the Prussian army the King Is Commander-in-Chie- f.

But the planning of the campaign will doubt-less be the work of the distinguished and valuableChief of Stan, General von Mokke, who has beenaccorded the highest honor aa the planner of thecampaign of lbt6, in the wonderful war of Prussiaagainst Austria. The two Prussian princes, Frede-rick William and Frederick Charles, who commandedin the ileld in the Prussian-Austria- n war, will doubt-less also be in command in the present campaign ;

and General Manteuffel, who demonstrated hisgenius in the war of 1&66, will again be in immediatecommand of the army.

It will be seen that in both armies there are com-manders of great talent and experience. Among thesubordinate oltlcers there arc many who took part inone or other of the campaigns of the last fifteenyears; and in the rank and file of both armiesthere are to be found, in greater or lesser numbers,troops who served in these wars, and who willtherefore, bring to the service those valuable milltary qualities which are only acquired by actual expcrience before the enemy.

The Arms.The troops of the French army are now supplied

with the Chassepot, whose value was tried, la asmall way, on the Romans three years ago. ThePrussian troops are furnished with the Zundnadel-geweb- r,

or needle-gun- , whose terribly destructivepower was demonstrated upon the Austrlans in thebattle of Sadowa four years ago. Both of thesekinds of rifles is superb; but we shall be betterable to decide upon their relative merits at the closeof the first campaign.

Toe Immediate Scene of Operations,It is as yet impossible to forecast the exact locality

waere the first collision will take place. There willdoubtless be in a short time a great struggle for thepcaeBtlon of Luxemburg, the dismantling of whichwas demanded by France as the price of peace fouryears ago. The work of destruction has, however,been but partial, and of this France has frequentlycomplained. For guarding the frontier and defend-ing thi Rhine, as well as for covering and support-ing aa Invasion of France, no better position can befound than Luxemburg.

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.

There was an air of modest dignity about Mr.Pnnsber as be last night handed in the following"item," which at once commanded respect. Hismanner was respectful yet firm, and conveyedan impression of newly awakened

Last evening, Mr. T. Punsher, the gentlemanly. and popular conductor of one of the Randolph

street cars, was made the recipient of a handsometestimonial by nia numerous friends, in the shape ofan elegant sliver watch valued at $10. On the backof the case appeared the followiug Inscription, beau-tifully engraved : "To T. Punsher, from his friends,July, 1870." The presentation ceremony took placeIn a saloon near the city limits, where a numberof the most prominent citizens of the West Sidewere present, including several Aldermen and afew Supervisors. The presentation speech wasmade by Alderman Jones, who paid a slowing tri-bute to the many noble qualities of Mr. Punsher asa gentleman, and the eminent tact and ability whichhe displayed in the delicate and arduous duties hehad to perform. Mr. Punsher, lu a neat speech, re-sponded to the compliment, and in the most grace-ful iLanner invited the assembled guests to Join himin a foaming bumper of beer. The party came to ahai py teruiiuation by their acceptance of the gene-rous invitation of Mr. Punsher to take a free ride Intothe city.

This is eminently proper. It is the first suit-able recognition of a public oflicer whose ser-vices have hitherto been shamefully neglected.1 he thought must have occurred to all of usthat here was an institution, the street car conductor, which has never been properly estimated.

TIIE MISSOURI DUNKARDS.A Few Fnrta About nn lCccentrlc Kellaioua Sect.

The Dunkarda at tbe settlement north of KnobNoster, in this count, have had their annualmcetiDg and religious exerclies. The Dunkardahave no church buildings of their own. Theywill preach, however, in the buildings of otherdenominations, but their favorite places of wor-ship are the sheds and barns in the country.The meeting just held was in the second story ofa large barn. The lower story was occupied bythe stock of the farmer, and in the third storythe laet year's crop of wheat and oats was stowedaway.

During the services some fifty or sixty boyscrawled Into the loft, and amused themselves byshooting straws down upon the heads of themore serious.

During these annual meetings they commencedpreaching at 5 o'clock In the morning and ceasedat 12 M.f generally having three or four speak-ers. There are no regular ministers amongthem, but, like the Quakers, any one can speakwho feels so inclined. Upon receiving personsinto their Church, they immerse them lace fore-most by three plunges into the water.

Feet-washi- Is one of their services themen washing the feet of the men, and thewomen washing the feet of the women.

Their feasts consist of the nicest bread andlamb soup, of which they partake largely. Afterthe feast comes the sacrament, which consists ofbread and wine. The bread being handed first,each one taking a small piece and holding Ituntil the wine is passed around, the ceremonyis performed very slowly, and consumes con-siderable time.

In all their manners and customsthey are plain and simple, andtheir honesty and morality have almostgrown to be a proverb.

With politics the Dunkards have little todo, but are universally radical as far as we canlearn.

There are several settlements of Dunkards inthis county, mostly from Ohio. Warrinsburg(Mo.) Journal.

A WONDERFUL FALL.

A I'lilld Fnlls Over n Precipice, a Dlntnnce ofThree Hundred Peel and Is Mot Killed.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, says thePittsburg Commercial of yesterday, a lad namedMartin Crossman, aged four years, and 6on ofRev. James Crossman, pastor of the EvangelicalAssociation Chapel, fell over the precipice at thehead of Van Braam street, in the Sixth ward,and lodged upon the track of the ConnellsvilleKail road, three hundred feet below. The ex-press train on tbe road was just corn-in- s:

in ei"ht at the time, and the body was inimminent danger of being crushed beneath thetrain, when a workman happened to see thedanger, and seizing the apparently dead childcarried it from the track just in time to escapetne new a anger, ao ciose was tne train uponthe man that it almost brushed his clothing ashe stood pressing his body against the rockyhillside until it passed. He found that the boy,although unconscious, was not dead, andspeedily carried him to his father's residence onSt. Patrick's alley. Physicians were called, andit was found that no bones were broken, al-

though there were severe internal injuries, andnumerous external cuts and bruises on the body.There are hopes that the boy will recover. Itappears that the lad was playing on one of theover-hangi- rocks, with some other children,and in attempting to pick up something belowwhich had attracted his attention, he lost hisbalance and went headlong down the precipice.Ilis fall was broken by the shelving rocks. Hisescape, nevertheless, was most miraculous. Inview of the numerous accidents which occurhere, it is strange that the city authorities havenot erected a barricade along the bluff;

SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.

Virginia Educationalists and the WomantjueBtion.

In tho Virginia Educational Convention inWarrenton, on Thursday, Professor Venable, ofthe University of Virginia, renewed his resolu-tion, submitted the previous day, to invite thelady teachers of Virginia to become members ofthe association, and to take their seats in theconvention. The resolution produced a sensa-tion and exciting debate. Professor Venablesupported bis motion with an animated speechto allow lady teachers to derive the benefits ofthe association, if for no other reason than tosecure them return tickets free over the rail-roads. It was but a poor boon to grant thosewho were doing so much in the cause of educa-tion. (Applause.)

Rev. Dr. Smith, of Hampden and Sidney Col-lege, opposed anything that savored of woman'srights in the most infinitesimal degree, andthought Professor Venable's gallantry wentahead of his judgment.

Professor Joynes, of Washington College,offered a resolution that the terms upon whichladies may be admitted Into membership be re-ferred to a committee of three.

Rev. Mr. Averitt opposed the resolution, as astep in tbe wrong direction, looking rather to theunsexing, not to the elevation of that portionof society upon whose spotless purity rests thewelfare of mankind. Drag her not down fromher empyrean height of purity and modesty;soil not the garments of Southern womanhoodby tbe dust and dirt of dingy surroundings;rather allow her to be the faithful custodian ofthe lares and penates.

Professor Joynes resolution was rejected, andProfessor Venable withdrew his resolution,

GENERALITIES.

l'OSTAL RETRENCHMENT.It is stated by the Cleveland newspapers that

tbe expenses of the post ouice there have beenreduced to the extent of fj300, by discontinuingthe oilice of Deputy Postmaster, and asslgalngthe duties of that official to the Cashier. Asimilar change throughout the country, it isestimated, would save $1,000,000. But retrench-ment very rarely begins in the upper stratum ofa post cilice.

THE TALE "ROSTEB."The new scheme of education in Yale College

principally consists in the addition of a thor-ough School of Science for those who wouldpursue such branches distinctively and obtain asmaller proportion of classical education. The"Classical College" remains unchanged forthose who desire to commence with a classicalbasis, except in the elevation of the departmentof irodern languages and literature with the in-tent that the instruction conveyed in Frenchand German shall be of that higher plane oflinisb required in the classics.

TUB "FOURTH" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.Nobody but the colored people had any Fourth

The commandent ofthe post, General Bumford, decided that thecelebration intended was of a partisan character, ana aecimeu ordering tne military band toassist in the procession, which consisted of fourvolunteer militia companies, all colored, andthe members of some political societies. At theconclusion of their march a meeting of coloredPersons, numbering about 3000, was held iaKidney Park, and addressed by colored speakers.The speeches had reference to the W,0iX yotQS

TUB CTAIt SILVER MINES.A correspondent describes Ploche City, Utah,

as containing about 1000 miners. The mines inthe vicinity, principally silver, are to some ex-tent under the management of San Franciscocapitalists. Water is so scarce that miners payfor it 10 cents a gallon. As yet there Is norevenue tax on this liquid. There is but onespring in Ploche, and that dries up every sum-mer. The trade of the town is said to be largelyin the hands of Jews. Only one person h isbeen 6hot so far; the disputants about "jumped"claims, etc., being usually content to make de-monstrations with blank cartridges from rifle-gun- s.

Mormon settlements in the vicinity sup-ply vegetables and meat. There seems, how-ever, to be no love lost between the "Gentiles"and the Mormons, and the latter are describedas not more distinguishable by homespun gar-ments than by "leaden eyes, buttermilk mous-tache, and faded sorrel hair.

HOW THE NATCHEZ LOST.It now turns out that if the Natchez had been

properly stripped for the race, and had taken ona full supply of wood and pine knots and rosinand turpentine and hud started from NewOrleans two hours and a half sooner than shedid and had lost no time in taking aboard adouble-jointe- d steam saw-mi- ll at Vlcksburg norin landing aOtilliken's Bend to afford the pilotand engineer an opportunity to stroll up townand inoulreTIie price of putty and hadn't beencompelled tOBtop and have the teeth of themud clerk plttgged at Memphis and to lie overand let the chambermaid spend a couple of hoursor so with ber great-grendmoth- er at Columbusand had got ahead at Criro and kept ahead allthe rest of the way through with plenty ofwater in the river and no sign of fog to bo seenanywhere, she would have beaten the R. E. Leeto St. Louis so far that it would have been almostequal to no race at all. That's what her friendssay, anyhow.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.TIIE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

Decision of the Injunction Case The Removalof l.owrv Declared Illegal, and Ntotzer En-joined from Acting an (.rand Chancellor.

Court of Common Plea Judge AUUoiuThe Knights of Pythias imbroglio which has

been so long pending was brought to a termi-nation by a decision rendered by Judge Allisouthis morning. The case came up on Mondaylast, on the application to dissolve the Injunc-tion previously granted to prevent John Stotzerfrom acting as Grand Chancellor of the Knightsof Pythias of the State of Pennsylvania. Onbehalf of Philip Lowry, Jr., it was contendedthat his removal from his office by the GrandChancellor of the Supreme Council of theWorld was unconstitutional, inasmuch ashe was entitled to have a charge pre-ferred against him, and a trial and suspen-sion by two-thir- of the members of theGrand lodge; that in view of this thesubstitution of Mr. Stotzer as Grand Chancel-le-r

was null and void, and therefore the injunc-tion restraining him from acting should be con-tinued. In answer to this, It was contendedMr. Lowry had refused to obey an edict Issuedby the Supreme Council, and had issued a proclamation to tne oraer in aisoDeaience ot thiscommand; that he voluntarily resigned his officeas Grand Chancellor, and thus enabled Mr.Stotzer, as Vice-Chancell- to occupy the place,ana mat ne naa no rigaj in tne court to asK tobe reinstated. As the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl-vadi- a

meets on the 20th Instant, a decision ofthe case was looked forward to with great in-terest by the members of the order, since on theresult of the litigation depended the control ofthe Grand Lodge by determining who shoulddesignate the representatives of the subordinatelodges in it.

Judge Allison, in his decision, went at greatlength into a critical examination of the consti-tution of the order, announcing as the result ofthis examination a failure to discover any pro-vision for tho trial or suspension of a grand orsubordinate lodge officer. He then recurred tothe question previously propounded, "How shallthe Supreme Chancellor see that the constitu-tional enactments, rules and edicts of his lodgenre duly and preperly observed?" In answer tothis, the court proceeds to say:

This question Is answered In the sixth bv-la- w

ot the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, which providesthat any grand officer may be removed from hisoffice for conduct unbecoming his standing la theorder, or for Inattention to the duties of his station.It, however, contains a provision which the SupremeChancellor has wholly disregarded, namely, that anofficer who Is nnder charges shall officiate until theyare settled, unless otherwise ordered by the GrandLodge. This by-la- w alio contains the material pro-vision "lie shall have a fair trial of the chargesbrought agaldst him."

This by-la- Is a part of the constitution of theGrand Lodge of Pennsylvania. It was examinedand approved by the Supreme Lodge, and it mayfairly be argued that, with this regulation beforethem, the necessity for taking to themselves otherthan appellate jurisdiction was not recognized bythe Supreme Lodge when they adopted their con-stitution. This trial, and indeed every trial, may bereviewed on appeal, and in this way the constitu-tional edicts and orders of the supreme authoritycan be enforced by their Chancellor.

In this case he could have preferred charges ofinsubordination against Lowry before the GrandLodge of this State, and before that tribunal theaccused would be required to appearand answer;but he could not be put out of office and anotherperson Installed therein nntll his case had been de-cided by the Grand Lodge, unless they bad orderedotherwise.

This view of the law which governs the order,does wrong to no one. It agrees with tbe recognizedprinciple that to tbe accused shall be accorded notonly a fair trial, but that he shall be presumed to beinnocent until he has been proved to be guilty,unless the specialties of his case require, In the judg-ment of the Grand Lodge, that it should be made anexception to the general rule. This la in every wayto be preferred to a prejudgment beiore trial and adegradation ia office before prof. It Is the rulewhich prevails in constitutional governments, ascontrasted with the law of the Autocrat or the Turk,and by enforcing It in the case before us we bringinto play the fundamental law of the order, protectthe guaranteed rights of Its membership, and at thesame time do no violence to tbe principle that thegovernment of the order must be maintained onlythrough the constitutional modes of enforciug obe-dience to proper and lawful commands. By this Ido not mean to affirm that the order of the SupremeLodge, which has given rise to this trouble, is alawful enactment or edict; that question Is not pre-sented by the bill of the complainants.

Upon the question of jurisdiction. It Is sufficient toremark that by the 13(ji section of the act of June16, 1S36, the supervision and control of unincorpo-rated societies and associations is given to theCourts of Common Pleas.

That which remains touches the denial by defen-dant of plaintiffs' clultn to equitable relief.

If the matters connected with this controversy In-volved no other right than that of the personal rightof Philip Lowry, we should feel ourselves required torefuse the prayer of the bill. The affidavits pre-sented by the defendants fully establish their allega-tion, that be not only consented to, but advised,the Supreme Chancellor to Issue his order of sus-pension, and to invest the defendant John Utotzerwith the authority and power of Urand Chancelloref the State of Pennsylvania.

That he advised submission to this order, admittedthe right of the Supreme Chancellor to make It, andwas a party consenting to and aiding In the consum-mation of that of which he now complains, ia abun-dantly proved. Upon his own account he is not en-titled to claim the aid of a court of equity to rein-state him in an office from which he agreed heshould be suspended, but from which he did notformally resign, advising the former action for rea-son BtaU;d in the affidavits.

But this bill la med by other plaintiffs, who arejoined with him and who are members of tbe order,as well as ameers, and who will be injuriously af-fected in their rights of office b) the decree of sus-pension of the Supreme Chancellor; and back ofthese again are thousands of members, whose pecu-niary and personal interests are dependent, to a

reat degree, upon the question of the lawfulness offlie order of the tsupieme Chancellor and the actionof the VIce-Gra- Chancellor Stotzer, all of whichwe regard as illegal, and therefore to be restrained,

becanse they are contrary to law and prejudicial tothe rights of Individuals.

Looking to the general Interest Involved, and tothe parties who are connected with Lbwry, throughwhom this wrong only can be righted, we grant theprayer of tte bill against the parties who are beforeCourt, as represented by counsel, ,or who have ap-peared to take defense by affidavit. The bill agaiustLowry et al. Is dismissed.

The Citizens and the Park Gaunt.Court tf Quarter Stations Altitun P.J.

This morning Mr. Theodore Walton was arraignednpon the charge of assault and battery upon Mr.Fitzgerald, a member of the Park Guard, and en-tered a plea of guilty.

Mr. Fitzgnrald being put under oath testified asOn the lSHn of last month Mr. Walton was driving

past my post at the rate of abont twelve miles an hoar, Uieregulation prohibiting more than seven miles, and I at-tempted to arrest him, but be drove on past and wentout; I obtained a warrant for him and on tlto followingday as he was passing out I hiled him and asked him tosla k up, telling him I bad a warrtnt for bis arrest: hetold me to , and drove on: I ran acros. the grounds tohead him off, and seized tbe horse's bridle, but Mr.Walton ont me oa the face with bis whip and went ooU

have arrested seven or eight personsfcr fast driving ; I did not see a hack containing tares orfour gentlemen driving besides Mr. Walton.

On tbe part of the defense the following evidence wasgiven :

David Lane sworn I was driving with Mr. Walton whenthis occurred ; driving besideros was a baroucne containingJames Russel Young, ot New York, and several gentlemenof the Boston press; when we reached Fitzgerald's postbe ran ont and called to Mr. Walton to stop; tbe horsewe were driving was a thorough bred, had not been ont oftbe stable for several days, and was sniioas to trot, and itwas bard work to restrain hira: Fitzgerald seiztd thereins, and Mr. Walton asked bim what hewauted, and be repliod, "I want you;" MrWalton said he would go anywhere be wis desired, butFit zgerald must take his hands off the borse, but the lat-ter beld on, and tbe animal becoming excited plongtdand reared, until it became absolutely necessary to givethe man a cnt in order to relieve tbe borse and save him-self from a dangerous accident.

It was offered by tbe defense to show by a number ofprominent gentlemen tbat this rough, treatment tooiti-zen- s

by memhers of tee Park Guard was boooming fre-quent and intolerable, but tbe Court ruled it out as notbeing legal evidrnce.

Fitzgerald beiLg recalled, denied that he struck thehone.

Mr. Walton I did not know he had a warrant, else Iwould have stopped.

Captain Uhastaa, of the Guard, being sworn, said : Assomething has been said impugning the eonrse of theOuard, I deem it my duty to state that I have a note fromMr. Phillips, telling me that be had given Mr. Walton noadvice about this matter, but that if bad desired toadvise about it be would advise me. There have been

complaints about this fast driving In the parkSany and since this affair of Mr. Walton's it has in-creased.

Mr. Walton was permitted to make a statement andsaid : On the day alter Fitzg.rald attempted to arrestme for fast driving I went to see Mr. Henry M. Phillips,one of the Park Commissioners, and asked bim to go outwitb me, and he said be weuld do so, and would make itaffright. Hedidnotgo, however, and so I went alone.As I was returning, the officer ran out and hit my horsewith a stick as large as my two thumbs, and then I struckbim witb my whip.

In parsing upon this case tbe Judge said : It is desi-rable that the police of tbe park should exercise tbeirauthority witb much discretion, so as to give as little an-noyance as possible to citizens; and at tbe same time tbecitisens nsing the park for pleasure must conform to itsregulations, and if arrested for a breach of them,they must not take the law into their ownhands, but must for the time submit, and if they havebeen improper'y arrested tbey have their remedies in tbecourts. I do not. however, think this a oase calling, forimprisonment, and will therefore only impose a tine ofhfty dollars and tbe costs.
