THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFIT PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1870. news sunxiviAnY. CUT Affairs, Charles Foehl was arraigned before Alder m Kerr, at the Central Station yesterday afternoon for a final hearing on the charge of arson. The evidence, to the effect that three distinct fires bad been kindled, on the night of the 22d of August last, in the gnn m ami fact ry of the defendant, on Third street, below Race, waa rehearsed by the Tire Mar ohal at the request of counsel. lie also stated that the defendant admitted that he wai the last person to leave his workshop, which is situated in the fourth story of the building, on the night of the fire, just about an hour before it was discovered. The prisoner was teld to answer. Last evening a gentleman well covered with dust stopped at the police telegraphic office for the purpose of giving information of a lost horse and wagon, lie stated that while drivingdownltidge avenue, near Mouut Teace Cemetery, about dusk, he paod a wagon driven by two ladies, and then another vehicle containing four men, drawn by two black horses, lie had not gone far in advance before he beard a, scream, ftnd, on turning, observed that the men in the wngon had driven their horses ahead and across the horse being driven by the ladies. The roadway was thus blocked. The informant then tamed his horse and, driving up to the parties, heard one of the ladies say : "If you are gentlemen, yon will let ns pass." lie endeavored to as sist tbeni, whereupon one of the men cut at him with a whip, and finally out his horse. The animal dashed f uriouslyup Ridge avenue, find the gentleman, being unable to restrain the infuriated equine, was finally thrown to the ground. He waa not much injured. What became of the other parties was not deGnitely ascertained, and up to a late hour last ni'ht he had no tidings of his borse and wagon. The house of James Bedloe, No. H27 New street, was robbed last evening of !f'H;J0, to gether with a gold Masonia mark, and a gold and silver watch, with other articles of jew elry, which were enclosed in a small box. Mr. Bedloe was at the front door talking to some friends when his attention was attracted by a noise near the grupe arbor. Thinking that some one had entered the premises, he went np stairs andj to Lis sorrow discovered the robbery. William J. Henderson, colored, was ar raigned at the Central Station yesterday after noon on the charge of having driven over and injured a small child, named Ellen Finn, at the corner of Twelfth and Bainbridge streets. The testimony was to the effect that the defendant was driving up Twelfth street at an immoderate rate of speed on Wednes day afternoon, when the child was knocked down by his horse and slightly injured, al though no attempt was made to check the animal when he saw the child. He was held in $1100 bail to answer at court. A young man named James Jlaloney had a hearing before Alderman Kerr yesterday afternooD, charged with having committed an aggravated assault and battery on Mr. Thomas Osborne and wife, an aged couple residing on Third street, below Chesnut. He was held in .f ,"00 bail to answer. At half-past 5 o'clwck last evening a flue in the boiler of the steamer Regulator, lying at Callowhill street, bursted, scalding slightly the engineer and two men; and also Officer Grunman, who went on board to assist the officers. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the schooner Arthur Itoe collided with the bath house moored at Otis street wharf, demolish ing one of the dormer wind iws. Captain W. H. Bay, of the schooner, was arrested by Lieutenant Pritchard. Messrs. William B. Mann, "William E. Lit tleton, and James N. Karns were last night elected to represent the Twelfth ward in the convention to revise the rules for the govern Hittt of the Republican party. THE WAR. LAT NIGHT'S DESPATCHES. TERRIFIC FIGHTING FRENCH VALOU MAC- MAUON STUBBORNLY RESISTS, BUT IS FORCED BACK ANOTHER BATTLE NEAR SEDAN BE MOVff ILLNESS OF THE EMPEROR. Paris, Sept. 1. Lc rulliqve says the government has re-' ceived no official dispatches to-day, in con sequence of the cessation of telegraphic com munication between Sedan and Mezieres; but it is certain that battles were fought on Tues day and Wednesday. The first was a sur-. j rise, which resulted in a partial panic in the corps d'armeo of General Failly, who was awaiting the arrival of General Whnpfler, his successor, and was still commanding. There were also separate and detached con flicts, in which our troops displayed great he roism, but there was a want of unity during the engagement, and the Prussians claim a victory; but in the battb of yesterday there is no question but that McMahon Lad great suc cess against the troops of both Princes. Bazaine was not engaged yesterday, but it is known that he to-day continues tho woik so energeti cally begun by McMahon. The corps Vinoy, which a few days ago passed through Paris, reached the battle-field yesterday, and is doubtless fighting now, The Prussians as they advance require the people to give up their a-nis, keep the doors of their houses unfasteaed, windows uncur tained and shutters open. The Germans speak well of the roads over which they march, for the perfect condition in which they are found. The Patrle says, seiui-oiUcia'.ly: "The mis representations of foreign journals under Prussian influence render it necessary to make a clear statement of the facts as to re cent military events. Marshal McMahon, in carrying out his movements, has had several engagements with the enemy, in all of which he has been successful. lie eifected across ing of the Meuse sa'ely, and at Longwy we gained a victory. Tie Prussians, defeated ' after a desperate struggle, took refuge in tho territory of Luxemburg, and there they are to be disarmed and obliged to remain. This information, which has jast been received, comes from no less a source than that of the French representative at Luxemburg." The I'atrie adds: "It is plain, from the situation of Lcngwy, Thionville and Metz, that the plans of licMahon have so far been success fully executed." La Liberie reports that McMahon has to day totally defeated the left wing and contre of the Prussians; that their losses were enor xnous, and that only the right wing was able to retreat in comparatively pood order. The itvurnui OliaiU tiat Generals Frossard and Bourbaki were wounded in re cent engagements. Palikao confirms the report that a detach ment of Prussian cavalry is surrounded in the forest of tho Marne, and escape is impossible. Trince Frederick Charles recently barely es caped capture by the division of Venoy near Rheims. He passed over the road by which that division was marching half a mile in ad vance, in a carriage. Michelct, the author, has addressed a letter to the government deprecating capital punish ment in cases of alleged spies, whose trial is so hasty and the charges frequently turn out unfounded, after the victim has suffered death. The National Guard drills several hours daily. Its numbers have now so largely in creased that it has become formidable. A writer in the F'njnro says that Bazaine, in one of tho battles around Metz, entrapped some 23,000 Prussians into the quarries of Jaumont, by the aid of spies disguised as peasants. His cavalry then fell on their rear, and, surprised and unable ? ft'liec, the Prus sians were cut down ahd suffered terribly. Bazaine, however, is greatly mortified that this should have been reported in Paris as a victory. The Alsatians in Paris held a meeting to day, which was well attended. The following protest was drawn up and signed by thousands: The Alsatians, at present in Paris, protest against the cruelties of which Strasburg is the glorious victim; to pour red hot shot and pet troleum bombs into a city of 100,000 inhabi tants; to burn private property; destroy cathedrals, libraries and museums; refuse to allow women and children to leave, and to force men to work in open ditches against their own countrymen, are hateful viola tions of the laws of war, which must be denounced to the indignation of the civilized world, and we ask the Corps Legislatif to decree that Strasburg has de served well of the country, and to pronounce with power, on the urgency of sending as sistance into Alsace to prevent tho ruin and surrender of the strong place which constitutes the principal rampart of France. Taris, Sept. 1. Special to New York Times. The filibuster sensation story pub lished in the Fiyiiro yesterday has been traced to American agents of Prussia in Paris. Some curious revelations in this connection are ex pected. Some old hands concerned in con federate American plots are mixed up with tho affair, as well as certain journalists. The commander at Strasburg has published the determination of the people to burn the city rather than to surrender. Tho Prussians have refused the appeal lately made by tho citizens to spare tho dwelling part of the city on the ground that it would thus defer the surrender. The same object dictated their refusal to permit the departure of the women and children. General Motterouge, who dis tinguished himself in the Crimea and in Italy, has been appointed to the command of the Parisian National Guard, in place of General Traumarre. There are complaints of tho delay in the expulsion of tho Germans. Advices from the Levant represent that the French are llined and assailed by the Germans. The combined movements of Bazaino and McMahon have been most successful, and their strategic plans have been well devised, promptly executed, and directed to all the weak points of the enemy. The victory ef the r rench at Courcelles was important, as main taining prestige against numbers. Confidence is entirely restored and a siege ridiculed. A dispatch received to-day from a correspondent ol the New York Times, on the Prussian side, represent discouragement as on the increase; the cry "To Paris" is daily becoming lamter, and death from exposure and disease is making fearful havoc in the Prussian ranks. Paris, Sept. 1, evening. Special to New York Herald. The evening papers state that on August 2b, ult.j Marshal Bazaine gained a substantial victory over Prince Frederick Charles' cavalry, but on the 30th the Prussians obtained an advantage over JJe Hailly's corps, and that yesterday McMahon gained an impor tant victory.

Dr. Prescott Hewitt, of St. George's Hospital, visited the Emperor professionally, and says that in consequence of painful and wearing vesical and prostatic affections, added to recent fatigues, bodily and mental, that startling announcements may be made at any moment. Whether the battles of Beaumont and Carignan were fought on the came day or on successive days seems doubtful. Mcnianon nas been caugnt witn his army astride the Meuse, and attacked by supe rior forces on both sides and beaten. He waa already attempting to retreat, finding the enemy on his flank and his communications threatened by the Germans. He waited no time, but attacked wherever he could reach the enemy. The country above Ktain and Verdun is tilled with troops. The Grown Prince of Saxony held the right bank of cue Meuse. while three Saxon and Bavarian corps ad vanced on Buzancv. The battle of Carignan, the official details of which are wanting, wa, apparently, mot import ant. It was fought under the eye of the Emperor, McMahon commanding in person. The defeat was followed by a rout, and apparently a hot Prussian pursuit. McMahon could only fall back on Sedan, fugitives from the other battle accompanying hi in. Strong detachments are expected from the tJrown Prince near Rheinis, to complete the environment of McMahon a remaining forces. TUE FOURTH DISTRICT. Ke!ley Thomas, aid Che Chinese Pre'.ectUn vs. Free Trade. Colonel William B. Thomas, the opponent of Judge Kelley far Congress in the Fourth district, has written the following letter upon the subjects of Free Trade and the Chinese Coolie System: Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 170. J. C. L'be, Esq. Secretary of Science Coun cil of the Order of Viutcd American Me chanics: Deab Sib: I have within a very few hours received vour circular addressed to "Nomi nees for Congress," and as I understand your meeting takes place this evening, at which replies are to be submitted, I must content myself with furnishing yon with an exract from my speech delivered in West Philadel phia, July IK, 170. Mbis extract will pos sess the merit, at least, of not having been fixed up to meet the present developed state of public opinion on the question of Chinese labor. extract. , 'However devoted Judge Kelley and his chosen organs may be to the doctrine of a pro tective tariff, they are In favor of free trade in at least one article to which I am most decidedly opposed. I allude to the traffic In coohe Ccf- ntie laborers. Kelley Liffieelf. is enthueJaeii rally In favor of the Introdnstlon of this species of labor. In order to obtain the publication of bis views on this subject, tbe Judge managed to get himself interviewed by a reporter of bis orgna, the Vrs, who reports his sayings at great length in that paper of August 27, 1870." After endeavoring to prove that the Chinese who come to this country are not all day laborers, he proceeded to urge the policy of In troducing coolie labor, as follows: "Even upon tho theory that they are coolies, mere day laborers, wad will compete with our laboring Eeople, the question would arise, will you not ave them competing with you here where you may Americanize them, where you may Imbue them with your notions, where you may show them the folly of working for less than their labor is worth, or shall they have your steam engines, power-looms, spinning jenules, and all your other labor-saving apparatus with which to work in China at the rate of two to ten cents per day?-' No, I respond, most emphatically. I ask Judge Kelley what our mechanics, manufactu rers, and laboring men arc to subsist upon, "whilst they are Americanizing these barba rians, and imbuing them with their notions, and showing them the folly of working for less than their labor is worth?" During all this time they are elbowed out of their situations to make room for these semi-slaves who are expected to labor nt six dollars per month, and our me chanics are to live on the air whilst engaged la the work of teaching these new comers that they are laboiingfor too little wages. If they want our steam engines, ..power looms and spinning jennies in China, let them order them of our mechanics, who will be glad to furnish them, and wc will protect ourselves against their ten-cent labor by a properly adjusted tariff, the efficiency of which the Judge seems to have en tirely overlooked in his anxiety to make his argument in favor of the importation of coolies as strong as possible. He also speaks through his principal organ, the J'ress, on July 10, lSt'i'J, as follows: "Able-bodied Chinamen work In China for about two dollars a month, and are Rial to get that, it is tint fair to suppose that home labor is cheaper. Under the contracts by which they ara brought from China they are to work out their passage money at four dollars a nion'h. Allowing the contractor fifty per cent, more than the employer, he can afford to i-npply ns with the best of first-class labor at six dol lars a month. This labor, it must be remembered, is trained, rtoclle, respeclf ul, snd In abundant supply.- To this matter we earnestly cail the attention of intelligence offices and labor agen cies of this city. They have it in their power to re volutionize their own business and the social lire of the place, and the lirst man who breaks the ground will reap the harvest." And again, July 23: "By the terms of the Chicago platform the politi cal creed on which Grant was elected, and which he stands bound under his own hand to execute our doors are open to the oppressed of all people. Surely the Mongol is one of them. "Koopinansehoop has left for Calt'ornla.bnt will bo back again in October to break ground lu New York for the introduction of this most valuable and richly productive labor. Wc trust that he will not ba allowed to depart without giving us an experimental quota, at least, of his first cargo. Let us not be be hind New York in obtaining this new labor, which is simply condensed wealth. Our mines, our public works, our private grounds, our homes are suil'iTlng for just what China oirers us from her teomin? plains, bnrdened with the surplus population of centuries cheap, trained, docile, and honest labor." Was there ever a more insulting and fiendish policy suggested to the poor laboring men of this country? This labor is "trained" and 'docile," like the spaniel do?, and costs only fix dollars per month, says the Judge's organ, and our Philadelphia laborers and mechanics arc to be brought into competition with it. If there is a laboring man within the city of Phila delphia who takes the J'ress ana does not dis continue it at once on reading this insult to his manhood, he deserves to be driven from his place aDd have it supplied by one of Koopman shoop's cargo, as recommended by this aristo cratic sheet. The Evening Telegraph, the Judge s other organ, although not so exhaustive in Its argu ment m iavor of coolie labor, is equally explicit. In its issue of July 9, 1870, it says: "We have not seen any reason why the gates of the Pacific should not be opened as freely as those of the Atlantic. And again, in the same article, it eays: 'Even if they come here in large numbers, and furnish eheap labor in large quantities, the workmen who fear their competition will be benefited by the eduction in the cost of the necessaries or lire. If they will give ns cheap boots, cheap coal, cheap bread, cheap fruit, cheap cotton, cheap suit, cheap railroads, and cheap domestic service, we can well afford to surrender, in whole or part, some forms of American Industry to them, ami tranwfer the labor and talent now engaged therein to other pursuits." From present appearances the Pacific Railroad is about to be made one of the greatest curses that could befal the laboring man of the Atlan tic etates, by being converted into a high road upon which an immense horde of barbarians are to be rapidly introduced, demoralizing our politics and our labor. One of the strongest arguments ever advanced against American slavery, except its intrinsic injustice, was its tendency to depreciate tree labor in the free States, and yet it never succeeded in bringing "lirst-clafs tkiiiea labor down to six dollars per month, as proposed by Judge Kelley s organs. Tbe future of the laboring men of Phlladel phia is indeed a dark and gloomy one. The Judge's principal orran "earnestly calls upon intelligence olhces and labor agencies of this city to supply our mines, public works, our pri vate grounds, and our homes, with this cheap labor, the most skilful of which can be furnished by these Chinese agencies ior less man six aoi lars per month. This alarming appeal by one oi tne leading journals of Philadelphia should be heeded by our laboring population before it becomes for ever too late. Allow ivoopmanscnoop id sue ceed in delivering his October cargo of slaves, or any part of it, in this city, and the future may be easily seen. However indisposed f".cn respectable em ployers as Matthew Baird, William Sellers, Bemcnt fc Dougherty, and others, may. be to employ such labor, and however willing they may be to pay their men sucn wages as iree men are entitled to receive, they will be driven in a very short time, by force of competition, to emnlov the cheap labor eniraeed by other employers in other cities, aud we shall soon see theee mills ana snops niiea witu cuinese laborers: our parks being graded and our streets repaired by pig-tails; our mines worked by Orientals, and our kitchens and sewing rooms supplied by labor of the same character, to tne exclusion oi our own lnuusirious itmaies. The effect of all this must be to displace our native-born and adopted citizens from their pre sent places of employment, and crowd them upon other departments of industry, aud thus brine: down the wages of labor, as proposed b Ft the Frets, to six dollars per month or less. does appear that Judge Kelley and his two or cans, in thus desirinr to reduce the waires of labor, and at tbe same time to retain the highest rate of duty on such necessaries ot me as coal, salt, etc., are dlsregardful of the Interests of the poor in their extreme anxiety to increase the wealth and add to tbe comforts and luxuries of the rich. Although Judge Kelley (my competitor), in his interview with the reporter ot the 7're.t, as above quoted, argues In favor of the importa tion of coolies, and their Introduction into oar workshops, etc., I am pieced to find, by his letter to your organization that (as in the case of the Income tax) a material public 6cntlmeut has caused him to change his mind, and he uow thinks that tbe forced introduction of coolie laborers should be prohibited by law. This change of opinion is altogether justi fiable, as it cannot be assumed that even great statesmen are able to anticipate the changes of a fickle public sentiment. He is at the same time anxious you should know he is in favor cf the most liberal introduc tion of these barbarians by free or ordinary emigration. My opposition to the introduction of large numbers of Chinese into this country (no made practicable fey the construction of railroads to the Pacific) Is not as to the mode of their intro duction, but as to its effect upon our moral and political well-being, and npou the interests of the laboring men o( the nation. I ant therefore opposed to their importation, either through the agency of Koopmanecboop or by ordinary emj- gratlon, because if Introduced In large numbers, even by ordinary emigration, which will be the case if not opposed, the effect upon our labor interest will be most disastrous. My advice to yon, therefore, Is Organize in opposition to this labor: obtain all the legisla tion the Constitution will permit against it; but resolve, above all other things, to create such a public sentiment against these barbarians as competitors for your labor as will render their Introduction next to impossible. Resolve that no native or naturalized citizen will labor for any man in any capacity who will employ such. I am prepared to defend this advice, in view of our liberal national policy in regard to emi gration, in view of a high Christian civilization, humanity, and our duty to our fellow-men throughout the world. Very respectfully yours, William B. Thomas. MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Mlarine Xeut tee First Pag. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA THI8 DAY.
