UUN BTITUTIONALIST.
AUGUSTA. GhA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUG. 10.1870
IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The retirement of the Emperor Napoleon
from active service and Gen. Lbbceof from
command of the army promises great things
for France. The Emperor was undoubtedly
a marplot and Lebcbuf a failure. The ac
cession of Bazaine and Trochu to the
chief commands may put anew phase on
the war prospect. We give brief bio
graphies of the newly-risen notables who
are relied upon to save Paris and perhaps
cripple Germany:
MARSHAL BAZAINE.
Marshal Bazaine (Francois Achille), who
is now In command of the French field
army, is the descendant of a family of
soldiers. He is now 61 years of age. He
has the high reputation of being one of the
bravest officers in the French army. He
rose from the ranks, and in five years from
his enlistment gained his sub-lieutenantcy
and his cross on the field of battle. He
distinguished himself in Spain and Algiers.
In command of an infantry brigade at Se
bastopol, he performed valuable service.
After the retreat of the Russians, he was
Governor of Sebastopol until the final
evacuation by the allies. In connection
with the Maximilian expedition to Mexico,
he commanded the French contingent, suc
ceeding Forey as chief. His success over
the Mexicans is familiar, but the termina
tion of the war in this country, and the
known disinclination of the United States
to foreign interference in American affairs,
animated the Mexicans with new hopes.
Bazaine, in council, advised Maximilian
that the empire was impossible. Bazaine
was recalled, Maximilian court-martialed
and executed, and Napoleon 111 suffered
such diminution of military prestige and
?olitical reputation as can only be restored
y the possible successes of war with Prus
sia.
GENERAL TROCHU.
General Louis Jules Trochu is to-day un
dei iably the best soldier of France. He is
now 65 years of age. A graduate of the
Staff School of St. Cyr, he was made
lieutenant in 1840, and promoted to a
captaincy in 1843. His staff service was
with that fine soldier Bugeaud, in Algeria.
Chief d’escadron and major in 1846, and
lieutenant colonel in 1853; his first Euro
pean service was in the Italian campaign.
At the commencement of the Crimean
war he was made chief of the general
staff, and by reference to Kinglake’s His
tory, it will be seen that in all confer
ences with Lord Raglan, Trochu, rather
than St. Arnaud or Canrobert, was spokes
man on the part of France. Throughout
the campaign, having been made general of
brigade in 1854, he occupied the position
of confidential staff officer of the command
er-in-chief, an officer analagous to that of
Gneisenau under Blucher, given in just re
cognition of his military ability and skill.
In 1864 he reached his grade of general of
division. Two years after he was charged
with the preparation of a plan to reorgan
ize the army. Instead of, as lias been sug
gested, lacking the imperial confidence, he
has it in the most flattering degree. His
essays upon organization, “ L Armee Fran
caise,” published in 1867, ran through ten
editions. Trochu is known to have antici
pated the event of war with Prussia. A
recent pamphlet from his pen, which; un
fortunately cannot be obtained in this
country, develops an immense deal of study
of the Rhenish frontier as a fighting field,
and palpably indicates the national impulse
as occupying the strategist's mind.
Two weeks ago, the Army and Navy
Journal, giving this sketch of Trochu,
said: “Should the war survive its first
“ battle a fortnight, and promise, as seems
“ very likely, to be a long one, Trochu’s
“ name may chance to appear at the head
“ of the French armies.”
This prediction has been swiftly and, in
part, literally fulfilled. *
FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.
A few days ago, the Missouri Republican
ventured to predict that if a Prussian in
vasion rolled the tide of war to the gates
of Paris, Napoleon would let loose a
demon that might prove infinitely more
terrible to German and other crowned
heads than the Chassepot rifle or the ini
railleuse cannon—the demon of Red Repub
licanism. We perceive that the New York
Herald, of the 6th, lias elaborated this idea,
thus :
“ Speculations are as wild as they are
“ numerous as to what Napoleon will do
“in the event of final defeat. Final defeat,
« it is manifest, he does not cousider close
“ at hand ; for he has told the French peo
“ pie and the world that the war now be
“ gun may be long and bloody. If, how
“ ever, Prussia should prove too strong for
“ France, aad Napoleon be compelled to re
“ turn to Paris not a conqueror, what will
“he do ? No one who knows the man
“ will deny that he is fertile in expedients.
“ It will be vain for him to attempt to re
“ tain his throne. It will be as vain for
“ him to attempt to secure his son’s succes
“ sion by a voluntary abdication. France
“ defeated will be in no mood to submit to
“ any Bonaparte. If a royal figurehead
“ should still be deemed a necessity by the
“ French people the chances will be in
“ favor of the House of Orleans. If, how
“ ever, Napoleon should proclaim a repub
“ lie and freely leave it to France to decide
“ her own destinies, might not defeat, after
“ all, be an actual gain to France? Is it
“ inconceivable that another plebiscite should
“ proclaim the quondam Emperor President
“of the republic ? If it be true that the
“ Emperor is about to decree making the
“ ‘Marseillaise ’ the national anthem it
“ would seem to encourage the idea that he
“ is already looking ahead, and that he is
“ not unprepared for some great coup d'etat.
“ These, of course, are but speculations;
“ but wilder speculations than these have
“ become realities.”
General Estes.— Apropos of North Car
olina affairs, the World has this special
item, illustrative of carpet-bag morality:
“ General—all these fellows, when they
“go South and get well into plundering,
“ turn up as generals—Gen. Estes, Collect
“or of United States Internal Revenue in
« North Carolina, is advised by an adver
“ tisement appearing in the papers of that
“ State from a New York firm that he will
“ find it to his interest to pay for that gold
“ watch bought by him, in the name of the
“ North Carolina reconstructed Legisla
ture of 1869, for presentation to the
“Speaker of the House. The ‘General’
“ was a member of that body, and no doubt
“ did his share to swell the State debt $21,-
“ 000,000 in the last two years.”
Worth Noting.— Nearly 90,000 native
Americans are disfranchised in Missouri
alone ; principally, it is said, through the
instrumentality of German Radicals. Many
of these Germans fled from despotism
abroad to help despotism in Missouri. Are
such things calculated to make Southern
men sympathize with the Germans in their
European struggle ?
France in the Revolution.— lt is a
common mistake to suppose that France
helped the America colonies because she
was at war with England. It should be re
membered, that England went to war with
France because she assisted America.
Congress. —A shrewd political satisti
cian, reviewing the situation, says the pres
ent House consists of 238 members—Radi
cals, 163; Democrats, 75, and the next
House will stand, in all probability,
crats, 116 to Radicals 112. He also desig
nates seventeen districts in which the
Radicals, at the last election, had less than
500 majority; seven in which they had iess
than 1,000. and seven in wlxlcb they had
less than 1,500 majority. Now, it will only
take a change of 750 votes even in the last
districts named to make them Democratic
this Fall.
Kentucky.— The Democratic majority
in Kentucky will go beyond 50,000, in spite
of considerable negro suffrage. Not one
county in the State has gone Radical. The
Courier-Journal declares that “ the Radicals
will never have a better chance. They
have shown themselves just strong enough
to consolidate the Democratic elements
and to enforce strict Democratic discipline.”
Renominated.— Gen. Schenck has re
luctantly permitted a renomination. He
will risk the poor house by serving another
term in Congress, if he can.
Why Should Americans Indorse a
Despot ?
Jo the Editor of the World:
The action of the German portion of our
citizens in tendering their sympathy, both
by gifts of money and offers of services to
the King of Prussia in furthering the pur
poses of that old despot in making Ger
many worse than she is and has been, is, I
think, impolitic, unreasonable, and entirely
against the principles of a republican form
of government, and if persisted in by the
Germans will leave them without the pro
tection of the Government to which they
swore allegiance by becoming citizens of
the United States. They also swore that
they would not support or aid any foreign
prince or potentate; &c. Now, It is a very
clear case that they either perjured them
selves or became citizens of the United
States from selfish motives; and if taken as
prisoners of war by France they cannot be
treated as American citizens, but simply as
criminals. Why auy liberty-loving Ger
man should have any sympathy for King
William of Prussia I cannot conceive.
Only look at this man’s record. Ask the
people of Schleswig-Holstein, Denmark,
why he made war on them. Ask the peo
ple of Hanover, whose King he drove
out without the slightest cause and against
the wishes of the people in that province.
Ask the poor Poles, whom he keeps iu abject
slavery, and the people of Saxony. I could
recite many other instances of this man’s
despotic rule. Many of the Germans of
this city and the United States are exiles
from that country. Among the most prom i
nent are that Senator from Missouri, who,
when he first caine to this country, was
loud in his denunciation of this very King
William, and General Franz Bigel, who
ci' .ne lie re under similar circumstances. —
However, I place very little confidence in
what either of those demagogues say or do.
They have their own ends and purposes.—
If the Germans of the United States will
heed what these men say, they will be in
the dark. Germany, iu our recent rebellion,
did not send any aid to onr wounded Ger
man soldiers ; did not, in any way, take the
slightest notice of the sufferings *f her
eOmi'rymen in our conflict, either by words
of sympathy or by practical proofs of her
love for them. On the contrary, she kept
silent, and through the press of Prussia
treated them with the greatest contempt as
renegades, &c. What the people of Ger
many may think of them after such treat
ment, I will not dwell upon ; but this I do
say, that I consider that Prussia has no
rights which the German cititzens of the
United States are bound to respect. And
as American citizens it is their duty not to
interfere, as such conduct, will not only
compromise, hnt injure them in the estima
tion of liberty-loving citizens.
Very respectfully,

Comptroller General’s Office.
To His Excellency Rufus B. Bullock :
Sir : In accordance with the provisions
of section 1 of the act approved 28th July,
1870, entitled an act to set apart and secure
the school fund, I have the honor to report
the following statement of the amount of
school tund as far as can now be ascertain
ed in the Treasury up to Ist July, 1870,
to-wit:
Poll tax of 1868 actually ascertained and
separated from the general tax, $86,337 63:
Poll tax of 1869 actually ascertained and
separated from general tax $86,080 61
Amount of educational tax from other
sources since July 4th, 1868, $69,609 48-
total $242,027 62.
The following sums are certified by the
Treasurer at the dates indicated, as “ in
terest on State deposits,” to-wit: August
23, 1869, $336 10; December 28, 1869
$1,545 05—total $1,882 15. This may be
long to the school fund, but there was
nothing on the face of the Treasurer’s cer
tificate to indicate it, so I have not so re
spected it.
There is probably a small amount of in
solvent poll tax paid in by tax collectors
during the years 1869 and 1870, but it will
be necessary to carefully examine the re
ceipt book for those years, which can be
done hereafter, and reported in my next re
port on this subject.
Respectfully, Madison Bell.
Comptroller General.
Received of his Excellency, RufUs B.
Bullock, this 6th day of August, 1870, two
hundred and sixty-eight thousand dollars
of seven percent, bonds, numbered from 1
to 268 inclusive, the same being a deposit
to secure for the school fund two hundred
and forty-two thousand and twenty-seven
dollars and sixty-two cents, the amount
reported by the Comptroller General on
the 30th of July, 1870. All this is done
under and by virtue of, and to be held
in accordance with, an act to set apart
and secure the school fund, approved,
July 28th, 1870.
