THE CHICAGO Times like all the balance of the Democratic papers, growls at the Republican press of the country for sympathising with Prussia in the war just commenced between that country and France. There can be no doubt that the sympathy of the entire Republican party is with Prussia, and it is equally sure that the sympathy of the Democratic party is with France. This party never has liked the Germans in the United States since the commencement of the rebellion. The feeling toward that class of our citizens by Democrats in the North, was exactly in consonance with that of their Southern brethren, who were fighting for the destruction of the government, hence the odious epithets and expressions applied by Southern politicians to our German people, "Lopeared Dutch," &c., which expressions were used by Northern Democrats when they deemed them at all safe. In our great trouble the German-American citizens sympathised with the cause of the government, and not only sympathised with that cause, but fought for it. This is one reason the Republican party now sympathise with Prussia, perhaps, and the reason that Democratic papers do not do so.
IT APPEARS that the Democratic press of the South have not lost faith, as a whole, in the "Lost Cause," or in the arrogant disposition to rule somebody, and to prove the superiority of the people in that section. If they can't have control over the negroes, it i3 proposed to control the Democratic party North as in the days of yore. Tins sentiment is cropping out in all the Southern journals— the Louisville Courier-Journal excepted, perhaps—and it is in consequence of this that the Chicago Times prints the following: "Outside of Louisville, there are not a half-dozen I've newspapers in all the Southern States.
Candor compels the further statement that the majority of Southern newspapers fail not only as newspapers, but as political instructors. With reference to the latter feature, there is a Bourbonish fixity about some of these sheets that is remarkable. A chief development, in this direction, is the diurnal reiteration of the assertion that the inevitable will not be accepted and -he determination not to unite with the Northern Democracy. An independent white man's Democratic organization, to which nobody will be admitted save those who can prove by the record that they owned negroes, is what is ceaselessly advocated by a large class of Southern journals."
So it would seem that the Southern Democrats are not, when the truth is told, better satisfied with their Democratic brethern of the North, than before, or during the war. The Times continues.
A journal which habitually has, on each day, ten lines of telegraphic news, and one editorial of two columns and three-quar-ters in length, which argues that all northern democrats are traitors to the south, that "niggers" can't vote, and that every southerner is a high-toned gentleman, and every northerner an ignorant, clock-tinkering Yankee, is not a newspaper but a fraud. Nor do such so-called newspapers represent the better class, or even the average sentiment, of the south. They represent nothing whatever save a braggart, whisky-s idden ruffianism which goes about with revolver on hip, and knife in waistband, seeking an opportunity to maim or murder, wnen it can bo done with few chances of reciprocity."
We submit that this is rather strong language on the part of the Times, and presume that it will not be relished in the highest degree by the Democratic press of the South.
CONGRESS adjourned on Friday iast, after a session that covered something more than seven months. The first half of the session was as good as wasted in speech making and dawdling over the business that should have been considered and dispatched, and almost the same might be said of half the remainder. Probably this country never had a legislative bod that talked so much and did so little work until its closing days. By the efforts of men like Schenck and Dawes and Garfield the necessary appropriations werp finally carried through, the last being finished but a few minutes before the adjournment. The principal measures accomplished beside these were the bill to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment, the bill to refund the national debt, and the bill amending the rates of internal revenue and the tariff duties. Generally speaking, these new laws are satisfactory. The yearly amount of internal taxes now abolished is abjut $35,003,000. On the whole, there are fewer charges to be brought against Congress than might have been expected- a few weeks ago. Nothing very brilliant has been accomplished, and on the other hand there is nothing very obnoxious. In justice to its own reputation and for the sake of the Republican party it should have done better in some ways, and for the same reasons that we are glad that it has done no worse.—Sidney Journal—Republican.
A WELL-KNOWN citizen of Dubuque, Iowa, has enjoyed from birth a protuberance from his back, just below, the waist, and in the last three years it has grown out into an annoying resemblance to a tail, which his physicians say cannot be removed without endangering life.

A Skirmish at Forboch—The Frcnch Re tire—Rumored Intervention of Presi dent Grant in Rehalf of Beigrum.
BERLIN, July 25—Midnight.—The division of French troops quartered at Forboch advanced their pickets to Gersweiter. Here the Prussian advance was met and a brisk fire of small arms was maintained for a short period, when the French skirmishers were driven back with the loss of ten men. The Prussians suffered no loss.
In this engagement it was remarked that the needle gun was fully as rapid and effective as the Chasseport rifle.
A sharp engagement was brought about on Sunday afternoon between the two forces near the town of Chateaur Saline, in France.
The number of troops engaged oa either side did not exceed five thousand men, but the battle, although of short duration, was fircely contested, and resulted in a victory for the Prussians, who retained possession of the field. Of 120 killed and wounded, the loss on the French side was 100.
The London Standard of to-day contains a special dispatch from Brussets, stating that rumors prevail in that city that President Grant has represented to the governments of Fiance and Prussia a desire on the part of the United States that the neutrality of Belgium be respected. The rumor was received at Brussels with much satisfaction, as it is believed thut reasonable grounds exist for the report.
FRANCE.

PARIS, July 25.—The Joural Official announces that Frauce will positively adhere to the provisions of the Protocol of 1856, which provides for the abolishment of privateering, and notwithnding the United States and the government of Spain have rejected said treaty, the cruisers of France, acting under the orders of the government will not seize the property of the enemy, when found in trains, in either America or Spanish bottoms. Nor will the property of American or of Spanish subjects, found on board of the enemy's vessels/, be permitted to be confiscated.
Elections this Fall.
The Congressional and State elections which come off this fall are of the highest importance, as the character of the next Congress, both Senate and House, will be affected by them. Twenty United States Senators will be elected by the next Legislatures of the several States.
The terms of the following Senators will expire on the 4th of March next: Morrill, of Maine Cragin, of New Hampshire Wilson, of Massachusetts Anthony, of Rhode Island CatteJl, of New Jersey Willey, of West Virginia Johnson, of Virginia Abbott, of North Carolina Robertson, of South Carolina Fowler, of Tennessee Grimes, of Iowa Howard, of Michigan Thayer, of Nebraska Ross, of Kansas Yates, of Illinois McDonald, of Arkansas Revels, of Mississippi Williams, of Oregon Harris, of Louisiana Warner, of Alabama Saulsbury, of Delaware, and Norton, of Minnesota.
The outgoing Senators are all Republicans, except Saulsbury and Norton. The seat of Mr. Fowler has already been filled by a Democrat, and that of Mr. Grimes," by a Republican. The Democrats will probably lose one Senator in Minnesota, and gain one in New Jersey, Oregon, and perhaps one or two Southern States. The past elections, however, in the South, have developed, under reconstruction, with but few exceptions, a race of political acrobats, whose cardinal principle is, to be always on the strong side. An accessiou to the Democratic strength at the North will greatly modify the political principles of these political Blondins, if it does not bring about a regeneration and conversion.
A Strange Accident.
In Central Falls, a few days ago, as a ten year old daughter of Mr. Daniel Grey was running across the street she fell, and a stick which she held in her hand was thrust completely through her neck. The stick, eighteen inches long, penetrated the skin on the left side of the neck, passed behind and close to the large carotid vessels of the neck, then behind the wiudpipe* and came out through thick muscles on the right side of the neck about two inches below the ear, and protruded some five inches. Subsequently the little sufferer was conveyed home, and a physician removed the stick and dressed the wound. She is getting along finely, and there is every reason to hope that she'will suffer no permanent inconvenience from the singular affair.
A WOMAN in Iowa dropped an egg into a flour barrel a few weeks ago, forgetting the incident altogether, until she was surprised by the peeping of a chicken, which had been hatched from that identical egg. The hot weather had done tht business, and the chicken is alive and doing well.
A FIEE at Colebrook, New Hampshire, Monday night, destroyed nearly all the business part of the town. The principal losers are: C. Parsons, $12,000: Crawford & Aldrich, $7,000 Estlin & Sons. $8,000 A. S. Uslin, $7,500 and the Messrs. Little, $5,000. The total loss is over $65,000. The mojnt of insurance is unknown.
