War.

Napoleon lias declared war against Prussia. The long smothered hatred which has existed between the Germans and French, is about to find vent by blood letting.

It looks to us, like an extended European war is just about to burst forth. When it comes in all its fury, then we say to Uncle Samuel, lay your hand gently on the "Gem of the Anilles" and hold them—and take the consequences. This ought to have been done long ago, but better now than never.

The Card.

The card of Councilman Forres! in the Journal this morning, is an uncalled for, and disgraceful one. There is nothing in the article of the Expre.s\s, which justiiies the language used in the card, and the gentlemen has let his anger get the better of his good sense. The language used is unmanly and ungentlemanly. Mr. Forrest ought to have learned by this time, that, in this country, poverty is no disgrace. That a man may be even a "pauper," and at the same time be as honorable and as manly as though he was a millionaire. "Liar," "dog," "scoundrel," and "coward," are harmless epithets, unless the circumstances fully justi tied their use, and their application is only made pungent-by being true.

We wonder our usually discreet neighbor of the Journal should admit such a card in the columns of his paper. He ought toliave known that there was nothing to justify it, and ought to have refused it at once. The press of the country should never be used to parade the billinsgate of every one whose official acts are being subject to just criticism. It is a forum too exalted for that, and is degraded from its high position, when suffered to be thus used.

We have just one word to say to councilman Forrest, and we say it in the best feeling for him personally. If you can not permit the press of the city to criticize your official acts, without flying into the towering passion which is evidenced by your card in the Journal this morning, you had better hand in your resignation, and thus save 'yourself much vexation and trouble.

AFTER liis conceited intimations, in nil the speeches he has made so tar, that Mr. V. would refuse to meet him in joint discussion, Mr. Dnmi will hardly have the eU'rontery to decline this invitation to mfcet- the Democratic candidate before lie people for the purpose of debating the great questions at Issue in this campaign.— Journal.

That is astonishingly cool! Voorhees makes a series of appointments on "his own hook" and invites Mr. Dunn to attend his meetings, and Voorhees' organ calls that "a joint discussion." We are not advised as to what course Mr. Dunn will pursue in this matter, but we supposo he will reciprocate by inviting Voorhees to attend his meetings. Then honors will bo easy!

Tho

people will see, in this, an art­

ful dodgo on Daniel's p.-irt to evade a joint canvass.—Express.

We do hope for the good of the party, and for the Success of Mr. Dunn in the eo.oiug contest, that he will not be governed by the suggestions of the editor of the Express in this particular. If the appointments of Mr. Voorhees do not conflict with appointments heretofore made by Mr. Dunn, the latter gentleman should at once accept the invitation of the former, and till those appointments jointly. Mr. Voorhees' proposition is a fair one, to "accord an equal division of time" to Mr. Dunn. This is all that could be asked, and we hope our candidate for this high and honorable position will not resort to the quibbling subterfuge suggested by the Express, to not meet his competitor. The people want to hear those two men, for whom they are askeil to vote, discuss the issues of the hour. They want them to meet each other face to face in the contest, and then they can better decide which of the two should receive their votes. The people want the fair, open, manly discussion, and no resorting to the little tricks of the pothouse politician, to prevent it.

Major Carter, who should have been elected by one thousand votes over his competitor, was beaten 1:28 votes by pursung a similar line of policy suggested from the same quarter, and which would now prevent Mr. Dunn from meeting Mr. Voorhees in this proposed joint debate. The policy is cowardly, and has met the condemnation of the people, and will meet it again if persisted in.

We would further say to Mr. Dunn, if lie has made appointments in other portions of the district which conflict with those made by Mr. Voorhees, and to which he is invited to be present, if be can consistently, abandon them, and confront his competitor and tell the people what he has been to them, and the manner he has attended to their business at Washington. Meet tills Goliah of Gatli square in the face, puncture the windbag upon which he so much relies, and a collapse is sure to take place. "in this direction, Mr. Dunn, lies success.

T«T S45ST2

In the direction suggested by our cotemporary, is certain and disastrous defeat. I If after those appointments are jointly filled, then Mr. Dunn can, if he desires it, make other appointments in other portions of the district, and invite his competitor to be present at them. Voorhees cannot refuse to accept. If he does, under such circumstances, the people will refuse to vote for him.

WASHINGTON.

Mess ajar© from the President—lie' Proposes ati Enlargement of the 4'oiimiercial Marine—M. C'.'s Leaving for Home

Kill* Nipieil, Ktc. WASHINGTON, July 15.

Jo the Senate and llovsc of Representatives Your attention is respectfully called to the necessity of passing an Indian appropriation bill, before the members of Congress separate. Without such appropriation Indian hostilities are sure to ensue, and with them suffering, loss of life, and expenditures, vast as compared with the amount asked.

The latest intelligence from Europe indicates the imminence of war between France and North Germany. In view of this a sound policy indicates the importance of some legislation tending to enlarge the commercial marine of this country. The vessels of this country at the present time are insufficient to meet the emergency which the existence of a war in Europe will impose upon the commerce of the Unitdd States, and I submit to the consideration of Congress the interests of the country, which will be advanced by the opportunity ottered to our citizens to purchase the vessels of foreign construction for the foreign trade of the country. An act to this effect may be limited in its deviation to meet the immediate emergency. The loreignmail service is, in a large degree, dependent upon the Bremen and Hamburg lines of steamers. The Post office Department has entered into contracts in writing with the two companies above named, and with the Williams and Guion line respectively, for a regular and continuous service of two years. The only arrangement that could be made with the Inman and Cunard is temporary, and may be broken off at any time.

The Nortli.German lines are first-class in point of speed and equipment, their steamers usually making the trip across the Atlantic iii from twenty-seveu to thirty six hours in advance of Williams & Guion.

Should the North German steamers be blockaded or impeded by France, our postal interest with foreign nations will be greatly embarrassed, unless Congress interposes for its relief. I would suggest to Congress the propriety of further.postponing the time for adjournment, with a1 view of considering the question herein communicated. [Signed] U. S. GRANT.

At least half the members of Congress left Washington to-night for their homes. The Indian bill continues the Peace Commissioners another year.

The Senate has affirmed the act of the President in the removal of the old Indian Agents of his predecessor, and supplying their place with army officers.

The bills presented for signature were signed, including the army and Indian appropriation bills, within five minutes of adjournment.

FRANCE.

Declaration of War against Prussia by France—The French Knthnsiastic Over the act—Extensive preparations i°r

War in Itoth Co.nntriM-3inp»i«»«» to Take the Field.

PAPIS, July 15.—It is reported on the best authority that a long interview occurred to-day between the Emperor and Prime Minister Olliver, growing out of the latter's known disposition for peace. The Emperor violently denounced Olliver's efforts in this direction.

The movement of troops toward the Rhine frontier is incessant. Eastern France is absolutely alive with soldiers. Troops which have hitherto garrisoned Paris have gone, and raw levies are slowly replacing them. Ambulances and caissons through the streets of the city on their route to the East. The preparations at the different naval stations are on a similar large scale. It is the general belief here that war will be declared.

An extraordinary edition of the Constitutionel, just issued, announces that in consequence of the insult offered to Bendetti, France accepts the war which Prussia has offered.

LATER—The declaration of war lias been announced in the Corps Legislatif. The Bourse is flat rents 76 francs.

There is great agitation here, with many demonstrations in favor of war by the people. During the night crowds of students and others paraded tho streets and boulevards, shouting "Vive le guerre," "Down with Prussia," etc. Some persons who protested were hissed and insulted. The police did not interfere. The crowd stopped at the Prussian Embassy and shouted insultingly.

The following is the text of the declaration made by Duke de Grammont before the Senate* to-day:

MESSIEURS—The manner in which the country received our declaration of the 6th of July, led us to commence negotiations with Prussia to secure her recognition of the validity of our grievances. We did not treat with Spain, whose independence we have no wish to trammel, nor with the Prince of ilohenzollern, who we consider to be under the shadow of the king, nor have we advanced any other grievance than the candidacy of the Prince for the Spanish throne. The Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs opposed to us a determination not to receive onr representation, pretending to ignore the affair. We then addressed ourselves to the King, who maintained that he was a stranger to the affair, and that he could not interfere, except as the head of a family but he avowed that he had instructed Bismarck. We could not accept that answer, and we demanded that the King should influence the Prince of Hohenzollern. Desistance from the project came from the quarter whence it was the least expected. We then demanded that the King should give a promise for the

future. This moderate demand was made in moderate terms we declared without any reservation. The King declined to say that he would in the future refuse to interfere with the candidature, and he refuses to authorize us to transmit to you the declaration that lie would in the future oppose the candidature. He declared that he reserved to himself the right to consider the circumstances.

Even after this refusal we did not break off the negotiations but adjourned our explanations to you until this date. Yesterday we were surprised that the King of Prussia had not notified our Embassador that he would no longer receive him, and, to render the rupture more obvious, he gave notice of his action to the Cabinets of Europe at the same time he announced that the Western might take leave, and that the armaments of Prussia had commenced on our part. Yesterday the reserves were called out, and we have taken such other measures as the interest and honor of the country demanded.

PARIS, 3 p. M.—The excitement is very great. No opposition to the war is manifested by any class. Rentes advanced to 60 francs.

Liberie reports that great bodies of troops were put in motion last night toward the frontier, and the Emperor will soon take the field in person.

I'KUSSIA-

Count Bcucdelti Dismissed—'The liiiiK' Kofuse* to lteccdc, and the ltesult is War.

BERI/IX, July 14.—The King's refusal to comply with Count Benedetti's demand coupled with the peremptory declination of further conference with the French Ambassador, will be apt to arouse new apprehensions in political circles, but will not necessarily lead to war, as it is simply an act of the Chief of the Hohenzollern family, and not an act of the Government, which would require the constitutional signature of the Ministers.

Prussia refuses to abandon her policy of masterly inactivity with regard to the Spanish throne.

In St. Petersburg there is a strong feeling against the policy of France. It is believed now that the Emperor Napoleoa is bent on an aggressive war to destroy the balance of power in Europe, seize an overmastering position, and force the restoration of the Bourbons on the Spanish throne by arms.

The North German Gazette has a dispatch from Ems to-day, giving the particulars of the withdrawal of Benedetti. It seems he accosted the King of Prussia while the latter was drinking the waters, demanding peremptorily his intentions on the pending imbroglio. He was therefore immediately dismissed. The same paper says there is much activity in all the Prussian ports, which are being put in a state of defense.

Fourteen iron clad* and frigates are ready to start from Brest and Cherbourg.

The King returns here to-day. Circa-t excitement here.

Premier Jl!n!sJone Sees So (iroiinil for Trouble. LONDON, July 1~.—D'Israeli in the

House of Commons asked the Government for an expression of opinion in the continental disturbance. He could not believe in the nineteenth century that a war of succession was possible. In view of our elevated tendencies and our wide sympathies many causes of jealousy, discontent and distrust had arisen between the powers and were now brought to precipitate aggression. Mr. Gladstone denied that there was any sufficient ground for trouble, and added that the causes were unfit for discussion.

NEW YORK.

The Commercial Union Convention. ROCHESTER, July 15.—The Commercial

Union Convention organized this morning. Several hundred delegates were present, including

The Republican Convention-

DENVER, July 15.—Gershom B. Chaffee was nominated by the Republican Convention yesterday, as a delegate to Congress. The Convention was very harmonious, and the nomination of Chaffee unanimous. The Republicans indorse the administration of Grant, and approve of the readmission of the States lately in rebellion upon civil and political equality demand impartial suffrage and equality before the law, and oppose class legislation.

OMAHA.

Serious Damage from a Tornado. OMAHA, July 15.—A terrible tornado

passed over the town of Grand Island last night, blowing down several buildings and unroofing a number of others. The roof of the round house of the Union Pacific Railroad was blown off, and three wind mills blown down. The loss is estimated at from $10,000 to $15,000. The same storm passed over this place last night, and, although the wind was terrible, no serious damage was done.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, July 1.5 SENATE.

Without opening the doors, the time for adjournment sine die, was extended from noon until two o'clock and then to five o'clock. The Senate then went into open session.

The third and last conference on the Indian appropriation bill was concurred in. It adopts the substitute of tbe Senate for the House bill, making appropriations as fixed by the Senate, with a provision that nothing contained in the bill shall bo construed to either affirm or deny the validity of the treaties made by the Indian Peace Commissioners.

At twenty minutes of three o'clock the doors were opened and a message received from the president calling attention to the breakingoutof war in Europe, and the necessity of some action on the part of Congress relative to our shipping interests.

JJ££,,Vf*

The message was read

:-:r,».

..

and

subsequently

a bill to encourage ship building for foreign trade and for other purposes was taken up. Various amendments were offered to the bill, among them one by Mr. Morrill of Vermont, restricting the time during which American registry maybe issued to foreign built vessels to three months instead of eight.

Mr. Wilson favored fixing the period at

rSllKvilSiSl

five months, by which Congress could 'extend it if necessary. After along discussion by Messrs. Morrill, of Vermont, Bayard, Wilson, Conkling, Sherman, Cameron, Morrill, of Maine, and Chandler, the bill was laid aside informally.

Mr. Stewart, on leave presented the credentials of Richard II. Whitley and Henry C. Farrow, Senator* elect from Georgia. Laid on the table.

Mr. Tilinan moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill removing the political disabilities front all persons in the Fourth Congressional District of Tennessee. Negatived.

Mr. Cessna called up the Indiana contested election case tho majority resolution being that Mr. Julian, the sitting member, was entitled to the seat, and Mr. Reid be paid $4,500 for his expenses.

After discussion, the resolution was adopted, with amendments allowing two thousand dollars to Joseph Segar, of Virginia, and fifteen hundred dollars to Grafton, of Texas, for the prosecution ot their respective claims to seats.

HOUSE.

Various propositions looking to the pay of clerks during recess were voted down amid much confusion, and then the House took a recess, after which Mr. Dawes offered a concurrent resolution postponing the hour of adjournment until five o'clock. Negatived.

Mr. Dawes, from the Conference Committee on the appropriation bill, made a report recommending concurrence in the Senate amendment with condition that it is not construed into affirmance or disaffirmance of any powers of the Senate over the subject. He stated that the House gained nothing but transference of the question until next session. He submitted the report without argument.

Mr. Sargent sought the floor, but met with cries of "vote," "question," etc. The report was agreed to.

After the vote was taken Mr. Sargent remarked that the House had by its action yielded the whole principle it had fought for for the last three sessions. It was the surrender of everything in principle in fact. [Shouts of "not all."]

Mr. Dawes renewed the concurrent resolution extending the session until 5 o'clock.

Mr. Eldridge sought the floor, and was notified by the Speaker that if he persisted there would not be an adjournment to-day, to which he replied in an excited manner, that the conduct of the Speaker was outrageous.

Loud calls of order. The Speaker put the question on postponing the hour of adjournment, and declared it adjourned.

A member on the Democratic side called for the yeas and nays. Mr. Eldridge moved to adjourn and called for the yeas and nays, saying he did so because his rights had been overridden by the Chair

The Speaker, evincing much earnestn°s.s, remarked that one motion to adjourn haci oecu put, but there was just time to save preelpit*xto *i.(ijounini€*nf as against the factional action.

Yeas and nays not ordered and the House refused to adjourn. Yeas and nays not ordered and the resolution adopted.

Mr. Dawes then moved for a recess till fifteen minutes past four o'clock, which was negatived.

Mr. VVilkinson moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution reciting the imminence of a war in Europe, the state of the insurrection in Cuba and tho probability of Spain losing all control over the island, and its being seized and held by France, and authorizing the President if it became necessary during the recess, to protest against aud prevent such seizure, to recognize the Revolutionary Government of Cuba as a de facto government, and to take such other steps as, in his judgment, will prevent any foreign government from taking possession of that island in American seas.

The rules were not suspended. Mr. Cox sought the floor to offer a resolution relative to free ships.

Mr. Logan moved to suspend the rules and pass the Senate joint resolution for the relief of certain contractors for the construction of vessels of

,i^a&m "H*'*"*

Avar

The House at twenty minutes past two took recess for an hour. On the House resuming its session, Mr. Blair, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the following resolution

Resolved, That in the opinion of the House, it is not expedient to further extend the present session of Congress to take farther action at this time on the President's message.

Mr. Schenck, from the Minority Commiteee, offered a bill authorizing for a limited time of registration of foreign built iron vessels.

After along debate a motion was made to lay the whole subject on the table was made by Messrs. Cleveland and Negley, and negatived by 72 to 95.

A committee, consisting of Messrs. Dawes, Schenck and Cox, was appointed to wait on the President, who reported that he had no further communication to make.

The Speaker then, at five o'clock, declared the session adjourned sine die.
