LAST NIGUT'S DESPATCHES.
ANOTHER TEBBIBLE FRENCH DEFEAT MAO
MAHON ATTACKED BY. THE COMBINED ABMIES
OF THE CROWN FRINCE AND FBINCE CHARLES,
AND T7TTEBLY ROUTED THE END AT HAND.
Bouillon, Belgium, Aug. 317 P. M.
(Special to the New York Herald.) A. fear
ful battle was fought yesterday and to-day by
the Prussian armies of the Crown Prince and
Prince Frederick Charles, with the forces of
Marshal MaoMahon. Yesterday morning Mac
Mahon commenced a general movement
towards Montmedy.
He was attacked near Beaumont and driven
back, after an obstinate resistance, towards
the Belgian frontier. The Prussians occu
pied the line of road and captured a large
amount of camp stores. They drove the
French from position to position nntil night
closed.
Early this morning the battle was renewed
and continued all day. During the night a
large number of French reinforcements came
Tip, but they failed to turn tue scale of vic
tory. The Prussians were also reinforced
largely and attacked in overwhelming nunx
bers.
MaoMahon retreated to Sedan with the
remnant of bis forces. The slaughter was
immense. It is impossible to estimate the
loss.
The Prince Imperial is said to be in Bel
gium.
The population are flying in great terror.
London, Aug.l. The 2'ribune'h special
from Berlin this evening says the following
despatch has just been received from King
William to uueen Augusta:
Vabennes, Aug. 30. We had yesterday a
victorious engagement. MacMahoa was beaten
and driven from Beaumont across the Meuse
to Mouason. Twelve gnus, several thousand
prisoners, and much material fell into our
hands. I repair to the battle-field to pursue
the route of the victory. Uod help ns further
Wilhelm.
Bi'zancy, August 30, via London, August
31. The Prussians attacked McMahon's army
to-day near Jieaunionf, ae tea tea it and drove
it back upon the Belgian frontier. The French
ramp fell into the hands of the Prussians.
The pursuit of the French was continued for
several miles and was interrupted by the num
ber of cannon and prisoners which were taken.
The extent of the battle-field was so vast that it
it impossible to obtain further details at this
moment.
The Prussians, conceiving that McMahon's
aim was to gain the frontier to effect a junc
tion with JJtuaiue, advnctsd ia throe linvs.
The Crown Trincc, south of Nancy, mirched
by way of Commercy, Bar-le-Dnc, St. Di.ior
and trj. The fourth army? under the
Frince Royal of Saxony, keeping north of
Pont-a-Mousson, moved towards Chalons, at
the same time observing Metz, while Stein
metz, reinforced, proceeded through Verdun
to Rlieims, his right sweeping the Belgian
frontier in hope of meeting McMahon. Thus
the German advance covered the country from
Belgium, along the Meuse, to the Aube, and
rendered it impossible for McMahon to reach
Metz.
The sufferings of the inhabitants of Stras
burg are terrible. They are starving, and are
compelled tolive in their cellars day and night,
tot void the increasing fire of the besiegers.
Another fruitless sortie w,as made by the gar
rison on Monday. Prussian sharpshooters are
within COO yard's of the glacis. Many houses
have been burned, and the arsenal was at one
timo on fire. The ammunition was safely re
moved. The fortress continues to resist.
Loudon, August 31, Special to New York
Tribune. The announcement that communi
cation between London and Paris had been
stopped is apparently premature. Railway
officials say trains will start as usual this
evening.
A pecial writes from Pari, Tuesday evening,
Paving: At least 30,000 troops left to-day by north
ern railways. Their destination is unknown.
IMenty of troops are left In the towns, and they are
still swarming, especially marines and sailors, who
apparently are to be trusted with its defence.
ISois de Boulogne has been closed since yesterday
evening. Eight hundred wagons, containing house
hold goods, passed yesterday through Auteuil
gate alone. The Inhabitants of the environs are
crowding into Paris and camping in the streets and
squares, unable to obtain lodgings without paying
in advance. All Parisians are leaving who can.
1 was offered to-day a senator's boase for nothing
on the condition of occupying it for two months and
hoisting the French flig. " The working classes are
vainly asking for arms.
Another correspondent writes under the sarao
date: We can no longer depend on the mails.
Northern ( railways are blocked with all sorts of
luggage, goods, trucks, grain and provisions from
Kngland. They will probably soon be either cut by
the Prussians or wholly occupied for the military
service. Passenger and freight trains are stopped.
The express and mail still go.
The prefect of police lias Issued a notice that
persons wishing to leave Paris require no passport.
Lomon, August 31. Special telegram? from
Berlin this evening say the advance guard of the
1'ith corps yesterday successfully engaged the
French 5th corps at Nouart.
It is reported that the suspension of travel on the
lines from Paris to Calais and Paris to Brussels
creates the belief that McMahon's armv may be
eventually transferred by the Northern railway to
Paris. The opinion is strengthened by the re
ported presence of the Prince Imperial.
Special telegrams from Luxemburg this after
noon say that the French people expect a bat le
near the frontier. Whole villages near the line in
France are deserted. The peasantry are flying from
all directions into Bol .ium.
A correspondent writer from Mezieres on the
28th that there were considerable forces at Li
Chene and Tourteron. The movements of trwps
are incomprehensible. There is an immense num
berof stragglers. Officers estimate the losses from
tins cause since leaving Chalons at more than
25.000. No road is safe.
The same correspondent, on the 29th, says there
is great activity in the preparation of the fortifica
tions. Guns are arriving. A largo park of artillery
is encamped outside the gates.
The Prince Imperial's retinue returned here to
day from .Sedan, where yesterday there was a false
alarm of a Prustian approach. The National Guard
and the citizens turned out with alacrity.
Loudon, Augnst31 Special to New York He
rald. An examination of telegrams creates the
impression mat mcuauon may enect me re
lease of Bazaine. The King and Crown Prince's
headquarters were at Bar-le-duc and Lignez on the
.utti.
The Prussians first heard ot the abandonment of
Chalons on that day.
McMahon left Chalons on the 21st, and Rheims
on the 22d, and reached Sedan on the 24th.
The French troops reported at llstuel yesterday,
were reinforcements from Paris. McMahon is
massing forces, now about 108,000, In the neighbor
hood of Montmedy, with the intention of making a
desperate attack toward Metz.

French papers assert that the Prussians
place the red cross in their ambulance service
on their ammunition wagons, and some ot the
omcers wear tne uaage on tneir arms to avert
the French fire.
Five million kilogrammes of powder had
been distributed to the batteries in the fortifi
cations of Paris.
England is likely to have an "Alabama"
issue with Prussia. A note almost equivalent
to a protest has been received by Earl Gran
ville. It remonstrates against England's dis
regard of her obligations as a neutral; declares
Prussia will not accept legal quibbles of law
officers of the Crown, and 8umnions,England to
fulfil ber neutral obligations, or take the con
sequences. "The question is a diplomatic
one," the note adds, "and must be promptly
solved as such."
THE MINORITY CONVENTION.
The Keaelutlona Adopted (Speech of lion. C.
it. uiickaiew.
Heading, Pa., Aug 31. At the Minority
Convention, held here to-day, the following
resolutions were offered:
Resolved, That the practice which has
grown up in the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
of submitting all matters of local legislation
to the exolusive control of local Representa
tives, has practically placed the local, political,
and business interests of minority constitu
encies requiring legislation at the mercy of
majority local Representatives, and has
afforded such a continued series of wrongs
and of petty oppression as loudly calls for
reform.
Resolved, That we can conceive of no other
remedy for such wrong and oppression except
in a system which will secure to each local
minority, as near as can be, its proportional
share of local representation.
Resolved, That such minority representa
tion will not only remedy the wrongs of
which we more especially complain, but will
also tend to lessen nnjust, illiberal partisan
ship, and to promote greater purity in legis
lation.
Rewired, That a fair and proportionate
representation of minorities by districts is
not only just, but is in aocord with the spirit
of all our State political systems, which pro
vide for the election of legislators" by dis
tricts in order to proteot the minority at
large from the unjust domination of the
majority as well as to guard the interests of
localities, and which we propose now to sup
plement by placing the local minority be
yond the reach of the unjust domination of
the lecal majority.
& Resolved, That in view of the taking of the
present census and the approaching Legisla
tive reapportionment of the State, we recom
mend the passage of acts of Assembly by the
next Legislature, embodying the principles
of minority representation in reference to the
Legislature, boards of county commissioners.
directors of the poor, and county auditors, as
well as township and otner olnoes.
nesoivea, mat we recommend tue passage
or an act of Assembly providing for a consti
tutional convention, to be composed of mem
bers elected on the minority principle, and to
such convention, in making the many consti
tutional reforms so loudly demanded for
years, we respectfully recommend that the
principle of minority representation be em
bodied in the new Constitution of oar Com
nion wealth.
Resolved, That we tender our hearty eon
rtulatioDS to the people of iUiufia jo their
great and nalntary advance in the act of self
government, by adopting the plan of the free
vote, for the election of Representatives in
their Legislature, and for the choice of direc
tors and manrgers of art incorporated com
panies in their State; and that we pledge to
them eur best efforts to extend this whole
some reform which they have begun, so far
as our rower and influence may extend, to
Federal, State, and municipal elections; con
fident that thereby we shall promote the best
interests of our whole people, joined together
in a union of free institutions.
Rewired, That the people of Pennsylvania,
of every political party, be invited to unite in
promoting the important objects embodied in
the foregoing resolutions.
Resolved, That the chairman of this con
y ention thall eppoint an Executive Commit
tee of twenty-one persons, to serve during
the coming year, whose duty it shall be to
use all proper measures to promote the ob
jects and purposes of the above resolutions.
Rcolvcd, That a committee of five be ap
pointed who shall lay the proceedings of this
convention before the next Legislature, and
who shall be authorized, by means of an ad
dress, and by personal intercourse, to enforce
upon the members of the two houses the ob
jects contemplated in -the resolutions passed
byjthis convention.
These resolutions were unanimously passed
without debate.
A REJECTED PHOPOfilTION.
Mr. Bannan, of Schuylkill, after alluding
to the necessity of some action which shall
apply im mediately, presented a resolution:
That, for immediate relief, we earnestly ro
coinmerd and demand that on the assembling
of the Legislature a committee of five mem
bers be appointed from each house by the
dominant party, whose duty it shall be to take
charge of all political and other questions in
the minority counties of the State, and pre
sent them to the Legislature as such, after
said committees are satisfied from the testi
mony that they are required in the minority
counties.
After a full discussion the resolution was
voted down.
ADDKESS BY MR BUCKALEW.
A committee was appointed to wait upon
Messrs. McMichael and Buckalew and invite
them to address the delegates. On returning
the committee reported that Mr. McMichael
was too indisposed, and that Mr. Buckalew
was present.
The distinguished gentleman was then in
troduced, and after applause sa d that he felt
a great interest in the great question of " re
form; that reform which shall give to our
political institutions a new lease of power and
vigor. Such a reform cannot narrow itself to
any party or to any section of our population.
It appeals to us as citizens, Americans and
men, to improve as far as we can the institu
tions under which we live, and thus promote
the well-being and welfare of our fellow men.
The instrument by which this result is to
be accomplished is by the application of a
free vote, erroneously called here minority
representation. It should be known as pro
portional representation that is, that every
interest in the political institutions should be
in proportion to its numbers. He then re
viewed the course pursued in 18t"9 by the
Senate, when such a system was adopted so
as to apply to the election of Congressmen
and the Electoral College. He then held
that, so long as the element of disfranchise
ment existed in the system of elections dis
turbances would be constant.
He then detailed the plan as adopted by his
town, and said that there was not a man there
who would think of asking for its repeal.
The cities needed especially needed the
system. This curb was wanted upon the
ward politicians, and upon the political com
mittees who levy contributions. He pre
dicted that if it was applied to the cities they
would have to have an arbitrary government,
or they will break down utterly into anarchy
and unutterable corruption. The echo comes
from every city in the land, and tells us that
these things are eating into and corroding the
political life.
He then enumerated the advantages to be
derived from the system of proportional re
presentation, prominent among which was
that it would do away witn tne corruption
which now surrounds the ballot-box. It
would reduce the amount expended for elec
tion purposes by candidates and the State.
In 1808 there were $1,500,000 spent by the
two parties for Presidential purposes. Cor
ruption existed then, and it would again enter
into the next Presidential campaign unless
the proposed plan was instituted. The new
syBtem would also establish that justice which
would give to every interest in the country
that share of political power to which it is
entitled.
Had this reform existed prior to the rebel
lion, this country would have been saved
half a hundred million of dollars and a half
million of precieus lives. That could not
now be prevented, but we could take securi
ties for the future. Again, Ibis system would
tend to reduce the number of candidates for
election. The free vote also meant better
men in public life. Me a were not now chosen
because they were the best men for the place,
but because they could get the most votes;
because they belonged to some cnurcn or
some nationality; because they had men sub
ject to them; or because they had plenty of
money. Under the free vote there was no
reason why such men should be nominated.
At the last session of the Legislature seve
ral bills granting the free vote had been
passed, but he hoped that a general law would
be passed before long. Should one trial be
had and the people understand that they have
an equal voice in the Government, and that
their votes cannot be ostracised, they will
stand by it. They will not yield it, having
asked it sincerely. When they know how good
it is they will stand by it, and the man who
first proposes to repeal it will be ostracised
from public life.
He then concluded by referring to Illinois,
where the people had already stormed the
citadel of injustice by a majority of over
30,000.
A resolution of thanks was then unani
mously passed to the speaker for his satis.
factory exposition of free voting.
The President stated that he would here
after name the Committee of Twenty-one.
The convention adjourned sine die.
