The investment of Taris may now be con Bidered complete, and the whole civilized world will await with deep interest the re sults of this demonstration against the be leaguered capital. In former times the mere approach of a powerful enemy to the citadel of France necessitated a compliance with the demands of the invaders, but millions of money have been spent on fortifications aud vast preparations have been made for the express purpose of enabling the" nation to prolong a conflict after its ene mies had forced their way to the threatening and harassing positions which are now occupied by the Prussian army. France complains, and justly too, that she was not prepared for the present war at the time Napoleon commenced it. But Paris cannot complain that Bhe is unprepared for an investment, without impugning her authorities of all shades of politics and ac knowledging the incompetency of her engi neers and the impotence of her citizens. Louis Philippe, Louis Napoleon, the Regency, and the Republic have all devoted their best energies to the task of completing the defenses of the imperilled city, and for more than a month the resources of the country have been lav ished upon the paramount object of remedy ing eveiy perceptible defect in the fortifica tions, and perfecting the plans for a prolonged and heroic defense. We have been hearing for weeks of the vast quantities of food intro duced into the city, of the large number of cannon mounted on the walls, of the skillful artilllerists brought back from the fleet, of the immense exertions made to throw up earth works, mine sewers, and construct roads, of the organization of forces and concentration of capable defenders, and now we are told that General Trochu announces in an order of the day that by persevering efforts the city may be saved. It remains to be seen whether these preparations will really prove efficacious. We have become so acoustomed to the triumphs of the German armies that all efforts to resist them are popularly re garded with disdain, and there has been so much French fanfaronade that the publio may well be pardoned for receiving with in credulity assurances that Paris will prove an effective barrier to Prussian progress. Bat there is, nevertheless. Rood grounds for tftt belief that a protracted defense is possible, and if French heroism is not extinct the conquerors will be compelled to pay dearly for every advance step they now attempt to make. Peace, which is the ultimate end of the war, can probably be negotiated outside of the walls of the city as advantageously as within it. The investment has already led to the consideration of propositions and counter-propositions. If we are to believe the rumors telegraphed by cable, the Provisional Government is ready to concede everything asked except the surrender of Alsace and Lorraine, while King William objects to the concessions proffered on the double ground that they are insufficient and that the existing authorities are notcompetent to make a binding treaty. It is no easy matter to adjust such Serious difficulties, but diplomacy has mas tered graver tasks. The elections soon to be held for a new Constituent Assembly will give the people an opportunity to select a govern ment which would faithfully represent their views in the present emergency, and nothing could be more binding in the present condi tion of France than a treaty ratified by them. If the Provisional Government offers terms which are acceptable, it might, while await ing this ratification, give np the fortresses at Metz and Btrasburg, or a portion of the French fleet, as guarantees of good faith, and as a compensation to Prussia in the event of a rejection of the supposed treaty. It is stated that King William has asked what guarantees can be given in the eontemplated contingency, and we presume that he will soon receive an authoritative answer to this important question. It is rumored, however, that the Prussians will not be content with any treaty formed with the present Government, and that they will insist on a convocation of the Corps Legislatif and the re-establishment of the Regency. We hepe this rumor is not well founded. It seems to ns that if anything can make Paris desperate, and lead to a prolonged struggle full of horrors and calamities to both parties, it will be an attempt to re-establish, the despotism from which France has happily Lean rescued. This scheme would take from an unhappy people their sole source of consolation, and we are inolined to think that millions of Frenchmen, and especially the Parisians, will resolve to sell their lives as dearly as possible rather than submit to it. It is often easier U destroy the armies of a foreign nation than to set up a government within ita borders. And although the allies fastened the Bourbons on France after the downfall of the First Napoleon, King William does not yet control French destinies as com. pUUly w they were controlled by Blncher And Wellington after Waterloo. TUTS MAYORS MESSAGE. The messace of Mayor Fox, transmitted to Councils yesterday on their reassembling, is an able document that deserves the thought ful consideration of every citizen. The Mayor confines himself to the discussion of two points, but these are of the highest im portance, and that portion of the message especially which points out the insufficiency of the police force demands from Councils a prompt consideration. The Myor . states that our police force, all told, numbers but 82'J men, of whom 73 are superior officers and those men on detailed duty not directly connected with the watch, and that the largest number on patrol duty at any one time is less than 3."0, while the territory over which they are placed on guard em braces nearly one hundred and twenty square miles, with 800,000 inhabitants. In the built-up portions of the city the day-beats average 34 squares and the night-beats 10 squares, while in the rural districts the belts range from four to seven miles. These fig ures are a sufficient proof of themselves that the police force is too small, and it is impos sible to expect that men who have to travel over such an extent of ground while on duty can perform their functions as guardians of life and property as they ought to be per formed. The Mayor, while pointing out the inadequacy of the police force, very properly insists that it is the duty of all citizens to exercise a due amount of care and vigilance in guarding their own property, aad where yard gates and the doors and windows of houses and stores are left opened and un fastened during the darkest hours of the night a direct invitation is held out to burglars, and the police cannot properly beheld responsi ble if advantage is taken of such carelessness by the criminal classes. The other point alluded to by the M iyor was the importance of making a change in the mode of electing the engineers of the Fire Department. The engineers are public officers, and are charged with important public duties. Notwithstanding this they are not elected by the people or appointed by competent publio authority, but are chosen by private associations. The natural conse quence of this state of affairs is that the engineers consider themselves the represent atives of the particular fire companies which elect them, and they are not in a position to perform their whole duty without fear, favor, or partiality. The Mayor thinks that if the mode of electing the engineers was different, the outbreaks which have characterized the Fire Depart ment would cease. We have very serious doubts on this' point, but if the engineers were elected by the people or, perhaps better still, appointed by the municipal authorities, they would be in a better position than they are at present to hold in check the turbulent element among the firemen, and to aid in bringing to justice the perpetrators of those outrages that are continually bringing the volunteer Fire Department into disrepute, and forcing all the friends of law and order to fall back upon a paid department as the only sure remedy for existing evils. IMPERFECTION OF THE CENSUS. We have received some communications in response to our recent appeals for informa tion concerning the alleged imperfections of the census enumeration in this city, and again invite such of our readers as have been neglected by the enumerators, or imagine that they have been so neglected, to send us their names and addresses. There has been a wide-spread belief that the present popula tion of Philadelphia is considerably over 800,000, even if it does not reach fully 100,000; but the imperfect returns thus far given to the publio indicate that the result of the enumeration will show these anticipations to have been without founda tion. It is of the utmost importance that the exact truth of the matter should be ar rived at, as near as possible. If Philadelphia is the most populous city in the New World, the fact should be placed beyond all doubt or cavil, and the only way in which this can be done is by a faithful enumeration of its in habitants. We therefore urge all who have cause to believe that the assistant marshals have ignored them in their task to communi cate with ns at once. We will inves tigate each case of alleged neglect, and, after ascertaining whether it has a good foundation, give the result publicity. In New York there has been so much complaint of the careless manner in which the census work has been done, that Mayor Hall has proposed to have the whole enumeration done over again under municipal authority. But the United States Marshal for that district has appeared in a letter which shows many of the complaints made to be without foundation, and the same may be the case in this city es well. But whatever the truth may reveal concerning the popula tion of Philadelphia, let us get at it if possible. THE FINE ARTS. Art Matter la Philadelphia. The cool weather of September is bringing the ait lets back to the city, with portfolios full of sketches made by ocean, river, lake, and mountain daring the summer, and an unlimited amount of enthusiasm, which between now and the return of the next hot season will expend itself in covering in numerable yards of canvas with the Impressions of nature gathered during the suxmer holidays. Mr. Thomas Morau, who has been working during the warm weather in and about the city, gives as the result of his summer labors a couple of charac teristic landscapes, which are now on exhibition In the windows of Messers. James S. Earle & Sons. These pictures are views looking up and down the Schuylkill from Laurel Hill. Mr. Morau has treated his subjects in a poetical spirit, and he has produced a pair of pictures that are Idealized but none the less faithful transcripts of nature. There la also In Earles' window a spirited repre sentation, by Xanthus Smith, of the cap'ure of the Kebel ram Selma by the United sutes steamer Metacomet during the battle of Mobile Bay. Mr. Fmitli has a minute and almost miniature touch, wl.kh is a disadvantage to him when he attempts a wcik of this size; but as a compensation for this he bus the faculty of giving an almost photographically ax-urate reproduction of any particular scene he may undertake to represent, so that this pictuie, like others from his- hand, impresses tn Dictator most vividly with lis air of reaUty. On the score of strict accuracy, however, the color which the artist has given the water Is at least open to argsment. The waters of the Qulf or Mexico are a beautiful, deep sapphire blue, and although this color Is modified near the shore, it is doubtful whether In Mobile Bay or In any other of the Indentations of the Gulf they ever as sume the dark green hue of this picture. This la a ptint of minor Importance, It Is true, and It does net afiect the real merits of the picture. In this con nection the following account of the engagement between the Metacomet and the Selma, which was published shortly after the battle, will be Interest ing: "The late engagement In Mobile Bay between the United States steamship Metacomet, Captaiu Jouett comma Ddl tin, against the Kebel gunboats Morgan, Selma, and Gaines, was one of the moHt brIUUnt en gagements In the history of our navy. The Meta comet having been lashed to the flagship Hartford, both had passed through the hundreds ot torpedoes placed in the channel and the destructive lire of the lorts, and were Just receiving the raking tire of the three gun I mats and the ram Tennessee, when Cap tain Jouett havlBg obtained permission of Ad miral Farragut to engage the three gunboats while the Hartford attacked the ram, he cut his ship loose, and with a full head of steam made direct for them, soon receiving the fire from their stem guns. The Metacomet soon got between the Selma and Gaines, while the Morgan was directly ahead, her sliot raking the Metaeomfet forward, while she re turned the fire with her bow guns, glvlnat the other two boats alternate broadsides in return for their lire. "During the engagement the vessels got five miles away from the fleet, and a squall coming down shut them entirely out Irom the sight of the Admiral, who having seen the three Rebel ships engaging the Metacomet, and knowing that each one of them mounted more guns than the Metacomet, felt that there was great danger of her capture, and signalled two boats to her assistance. Before they arrived, however, Captain Jouett had crippled the Gaines so badly that she drew on" aud ran ashore under, the fort to save from sinking, where she was afterwards destroyed by her cnpialn. The Morgan, finding she was so well peppered, made lor Mobile, which place she succeeded In reaching badly crippled, leaving the Metacomet and Selma to fight It out. It took but fifteen minutes to llnisli this part of the engagement, for having no other vecsel to contend with, Captain Jouett turned his whole attention to the Selma. A few well directed broadsides from the boys on the Meta comet Boon brought down the Kebel flag, when a boat was sent to receive the surrender of the ship and crew. The Admiral, who had been watching the engagement with the greatest Interest, even while he with his own ship was lighting the ram, was greatly rejoiced at seeing the Selma brought, in with the Stars and Stripes at her masthead. Cap tain Jouett, on reporting to the Admiral, was highly complluiciited for his gallantry in attacking Just ftivr times the number of his flttitx, and after an en gapemeiit of twenty minute? defeating the two and capturing the third one." In the window of James E Caldwell & Co., on ihenut street, above Ninth, there is a very meri torious statue In plaster of "Penelope," by J. Ober- meyer, a sculptor who has attracted attention by several gracefully-executed works, especially by the "Nymph" which adorns the drinking fountain at Rlttenhouse Square. The "Penelope" Is a three. quarter lire-size figure, and the faithful wire of Ulysses is represented as having fallen asleep while weaving the web with which she baitled her suitors during the long years of her husband's wanderings, The pose of the figure is nntural and elegant, if we except a slight although not unnatural awkward, ness In the position of the left foot ; the drapery Is gracefully disposed and the anatomical modelling correct. The back of the chair or couch upon which Penelope is reclining Is too small, and from the best points for viewing the figure it has the appearance of belog unsupported. This Is a defect that really Impairs the beauty or the work, as It is an annoy, ance to the eye, but It Is one that can easily be cor rected, as we hope It will be If the statue Is put In marble. 6PEOIAL NOTICES.
