What next?
BOXATARTE'S STAR.
Its Brilliancy and Eclipse.
M. A boxtt's Letter from Saverne of August 8.
In the auspicious reign of tlie Third Napoleon
(Xapoltime Tertio fdkiter impcrante, as the official
Inscriptions say), 1 have enjoyed a spectacle which
my father and grandfather saw twice;, in 1814 and
1815, and of which they never spoke without shame
and rage.
You are born In happier days, said these good
people to me, witli a little envy in their tones; you
will never nave such an experience as we have had.
Poor France! ishe has permitted everything and
forgiven everything to the man who once said to her,
"The empire is peace," and who afterwards said,
"The empire is glory and victory, the revision of
shameful treaties, the rectification of frontiers, the
ar of principles, a war of Interest, a war of adven
ture, but a war invariably successful, raising the
name and fame of France higher day by day." .
France believed what she was told, believed In
her master's star, as she believed in the disinte
restedness of Morny, in the austerity of Troplong, In
the genius of Roufier, in the liberalism of Ollivler.
What an awakening! To-day the empire means
defeat through the Incapacity of Its chief; It means
panics In the generals ; it means invasion with all
its train of wretchedness and misery ; it means the
Prussian soldier strutting about as master through
three or four departments after a campaign of eight
days.
About tivo o'clock It was easy to see the scouts on
every little hillock, or coming , round about slowly,
one by one, or two by two, along our roads.
At last, at tialf-pifst four o'clock, a movement of
the people in the main street announced to me the
final result. Almost Immediately I saw two hussars
go slowly up the height of the Cosmo, where the
authorities of the town were assembled. Behind
them, 100 paces off, three more were seen, and these
five risked themselves In the midst of 6331 souls, If
the guide book tells the truth.
One of the two first, whom I never lost sight of,
was a simple cavalry man, with a very short and
stumpy musket: the ether must have been a sub
lieutenant, from the stripe on his sleeve. His only
weapon was a aworu. voin oi tuem seemea yonng,
and were rather good looking than otherwise. They
went slowly forward, lookinir to left, to riirht. and
behind them, with a distrustful but haughty and
conquering air. Their eyes said, "We are conque
rors ; me people nere may kiii us, nut we leave our
skins here, there is an army of 150,000 men a little
bit off who will avenge us."
The Mayor came down from the Casino and asked
in em in uerman what tney wanted.
The officer, in a sharp, harsh voice, asked, "Are
these soldiers here?" At the same time the soldier
covered the chest of the excellent Advocate and
Mayor ostermann with his weapon.
The Mayor put the uncomfortable looking thing
aside and said, "If you wouldn't covr me in that
way l could talk more at ease."
The officer asked drily a second time, "Have you
BOiuiersr y
"No, sir ; I am the Mayor ol the town "
"That's not hina to me."
"I shall tell you everything you wish If you will
come wun me to me Mown iiau."
"We have no time. Have you any wounded ?"
"Yes, a few in the ambulance."
"Much wounded or not ?
"Some much, some little."
"Have you any troopers' horses T"
"None."
"I saw some in the Plain of Monxviller."
"They are either all runaways or sick, which Is
wny our Bouuers aoauaoneu iiieiu."
"Very well!"
Tbe officer then turns his horse's head, his orderly
follows him. The three other hussars, who had
meanwnue oougnc some wine anu some sausages,
grin, pay for what they have had, and disappear.
Twenty more came back at a quarter past 7. Tlfelr
leader went to the Mayor and said:
"We must have, at 10 to-morrow morning, 20,000
loaves of six pounds each ; or, if not, we must have
iuh.uuu irancs uown.
"We shall do everything that is possible."
"Good evening.,'
After that they dlsippear In every direction, wan
der through the streets, gather together again, and
go off, to come back again in greater number to
morrow, our enemy is like a prudent player, risk.
ing little first, then more, then a good deal, but
always safely. Would that our leaders would pro tit
by the example, and get into the way of feeling
auoui a nine oeiore putting ineir last sixpence
down on the table i
I don't know how the Mayor of Saverne means to
manage with these gentlemen. The people are just
as Incapable of paying loo.Ooo francs in a day as they
are oi improvising sixty ions oi loaves in a night.
They are not ricu nere. Manufactures are stopped,
and the workmen, living almost from dar to dav
have hardly any savlntrs. The crops, too, have been
very middling. The burning shame which chokes
us to-day will soon mingle with the miseries that ac

TIIEt'03UStl REPUBLIC.
Disturbances In the French Provinces,
Fro-ut the Journal des Debate, August 16.
We read In tote Fhart de la Loire: On the night of
the 11th to the 12th of August a great crowd of citi
zens marched through the streets of Nantes singing
the "Marseillaise," with this variation in the chorus
Marc lions! Marchonsl
La Republique en France regnerft.
(march on! march on! the republic will reign in
France.) The windows of the t J, turn Bretoune were
smashed with stones because that journal had ad.yo
rated a state of sieire thronehout France, and de
nounced those who are called "domestic Prussians,"
or "Pmssians In France."
The Oirtnuie publishes a proclamation addressed
to the people of Bordeaux by tbe Prefect of the
Gironde. which begins:
Ortipr hta been erinnsly disturbed in our city. The
tnmultaon. Roetns which hv too Ion interfered with

In the Guienne of the ISth of August we real :
A n.trol was stoned last niirnt. and two National Guards
were slightly wounded. Fortunately, the isolated sot was
not repeatiea.
This morning the following placard was posted on
the wall of the Grand Theatre. It was, of course,
immediately torn down:
BF.CKF.E OP THK SflTH ATTOKST.
The Deonle condemn to death all tbe Dolioe and munici
pal RiianlBOf the city.
l ot exeontion win soon inse piace.
Monday eveninir. at Creusot, a band of from 1203
to 1600 men, the half of whom, at least, were not
under eighteen years of age, set out from the neigh
borhood or the railway station, about half-pant
seven, marching through the whole town, and
shouting for peace, Rochefort, and the republic.
They cut down several trees, and abont ten o'clock
marched on Montcents; they carried a couple of red
flags and some trees they had cut down, wnicn were
sixteen or twenty feet high. At Montccnis they
tried to seize the flag of the police, but were unsuc
cessful. Thev returned to Creusot about midnight.
with two police notice boards, which they had cap
tured.
In the .Sviftif PullUs of Lynns we read that four
sergeants and soldiers had been wounded by stone
throwing in the disturbance of yesterday morning,
and thirteen persons arrested, among whom were
two women. The eldest was forty-eight; the
youngest fifteen. The average age was between
twenty and thirty. Many women were in the riot,
leaping like furies at the faces or the police, flinging
handiuls of dust in their eyes, and so on.
FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
Connt Blsmarck'a Opinion 'of Napoleon's
Prhemes Austria Cannot be the Ally of
France Acainst Germany.
We nubllshed yesterday a document concerning:
the projects of Napoleon ill in relation to Germany,
and specuying tne propositions maue oj uie jsmpc
ror in 1867 to Count von Beust at Salzburg. In this
connection the remarks of Count Bismarck to the
correspondent of a London journal, in September,
lStiT, possess considerable Interest- Being asked
what view he took of the meeting of the Frenci and
Austrian Emperors at Salzburg, and whether the
lnrerences ana inventions or an excited journal
ism had had any effect upon him, "None
whatever," the Count answered: "what
I have thought and think of the Salzburg
affair is embodied in my circular of the 7th; and
neither I nor any other reasonable man believed in
the feasibility of' an Austro-French alliance, or
feared its consequences. If effected, to I'russla.
Austria cannot be the ally of France against Ger
many ; it is the German element in her that Is the
good cement binding the bricks of her enormous
nouse togetner. w e wisn wen to Austria, ana nope
to see her reconstruct her might round an Intelligent,
free German nucleus. I, for my part, desire for
Prussia nothing better than. a firm alliance with a
constitutional King of Hungary, who, as Kmpcror of
Austria, allows the German element in his other
provinces full play. If Balzburg had been a French
failure, as some ill-natured people chose to say It
was, it could not alarm us ; being what it was, we at
tached no political significance to it whatever."
Touching upon the chances of proximate war in the
Bast, Count Bismarck thus expressed himself re
garding Kussia: "I do not believe In it. People do
not know what Russia's real condition is. I do.
Kussia has Eastern proclivities, and would like, per
haps, to assert them, but she can only do
so in a grand style. Her position precludes
her from half measures, and she Is really not
able to commence a long and costly war. Kussia
has a great future before her; she has elements of
strength far surpassing those of any other empire or
kingdom. She is almost unassailable, but she is like
a strong and healthy man attacked by Indisposition.
If he will only lay up for three days, and keep quiet,
the native vigor of his constitution will triumph
over his illness, and he will rise as strong as ever.
But if he will Insist upon going out, walking about,
and transacting business abroad just as if he were
well, hs malady will probably lay firmer hold upon
him, and bring him to serious straits. Two or three
days In the life of a man mean ten, twenty, or thirty
years in the life of a nation."
FINANCE AMD COMMERCE.
EvENrva Tktjeoraph Officii,)
Saturday, Sept. 3, 1870. (
The money market to-day exhibits the full
average activity, the demand for all kinds of
loans being apparently in excess of the supply,
but we suspect that, as far a3 the banks re con
cerned, they are, as usual, reserving their
strength to meet the demands of the stock
brokers who are coming into the market in full
force for the fall campaign. Be this as it may,
call loans on collaterals are readily effected,
and by some means or other a full supply of
money is forthcoming whenever the collaterals
are considered orthodox. Discounts, on the
other hand, are becoming more difilcuit every
day and rates are becoming nominal.
Gold is completely demoralized by the news of
the capture of Sedan, with the French army
and Napoleon. The sales opened at 115,
dropped to 115, and rallied again to 115.
Government bonds are not materially higher,
whilst a portion of the list shows a decline as
compared with last night's prices.
The stock market was quite active and
stronger. Bales of State 6s, first series, at 105-,

The Surrender of Napoleon Con firmed. '
Washington, Sept. 3. The following tele
gram was received at the State Department
this morning from Minister Motley, dated
London, Sept. 3:
"The Emperor napoleon surrendered yes
terday at Sedan to the King of Trussia. The
whole French army at Sedan are prisoners of
war. Motlev."
The following has also been received, ad
dressed to the Secretary of State:
'London, Saturday, T15 P. M. The
Emperor and MacMahon's army surrendered
at Sedan to the King. The Emperor's resi
dence is to be appointed by the King, after
an interview with him. The capitulation
was concluded with General Wimpffen in
stead of MacMahon, who was wounded.
"Motley, Minister, London."
The News of the Surrender In London Does
It Involve a Cessation of lloslilltlesf
London, Sept. 3 Noon. The news of the
surrender of the Emperor and MacMahon's
army has created great excitement, and anxiety
is universal to learn whether this surrender in
volves a cessation of hostilities and unresisted
occupation of Paris.
Sensible 10 the Inst.
Paris, Sept. 3 The Journal OJflciel .of this
morning represents courageously every event of
the campaign as a success of the Emperor.
Bazaine Attempts to Escape.
Beblin, Sept. 8. A. despatch, just received,
has the following: Since Wednesday last
Bazaine has steadily sought to escape to the
North, but has always been frustrated by Gene
ral ManteuUel, directed by Prince Frederick
Charles.
Ilovr Paris Is Deceived
It is really believed in Paris that MacMahon is
acting on the offensive and that on Thursday he
destroyed the Prussian left, obliging the Crown
Prince to fall back on the hills of Argonne.
ItlaeMahon's Fatal Errors.
London, Sept. 3. The Times this morning
says MacMahon, by a series of errors, has com
promised the last chance of retrieving the for
tunes of France.
Kesume of Events on the Frontier.
From a chaos of unintelligible and conflicting
telegrams we gather that MacMahon was pro
ceeding to the relief of Metz, when he was en
countered and driven back by the Germans, who
pursued him so closely and constantly that col
lisions were inevitable. Hence conflicts have
been reported all the week.
There was serious work at Sedan on Tuesday
when MacMahon was perched on the heights of
Vaux, near Carlgnan. Thither came the Em
peror on Tuesday, and on that day 30,000 of
MacMahon's army was attacked between
Mouzon and Moulins. This was tbe first battle
of Beaumont, reported by King William to the
Queen. The French were driven over the
Meuse to Mouzon, and the encounter on the
other bank of the river became general.
The French were expelled from Vaux,
and only faced about oa Wednesday between
Douzy and Bazailles, with the Meuse and Cher
between them and the enemy, and a severe en
gagement occurred. The Prussians turned the
French right, necessitating a retirement on
Sedan, before which they again renewed the
fight on Thursday, when they were driven into
that fortress.

After we were refreshed by a substantial dinner and
a bottle of excellent wine, we Intended to visit the
German camp at Forbach, and I was just forcing
my baggage iuto the smallest possible compass
wnen l neara a noise oi norses ana tne clatter of
sabres in the yard. I hastened out and found a
large party of army surgeons in company
wun a crowa oi uie nmguis oi at. Jonn, ail
on horseback, and in their midst an amazon. whom
1 at once recognized as the Princess Salin-Salm. As
soon as she saw me, she Jumped down from her
horse, tnrew ner arms around my neck and kissed
me. The legion or gallants who surrounded the
beautiful woman stared at the scene with stupefac
tion because I looked more like a highwayman than
a gentleman wnom a princess migat cmorace. suo
men presented me to tne company as ner old mend
irom tne American nattie-neids, and l accept the
name, because in spite of certain feminine weak
nesses I always admired her pluck and the great
qualities of her character. The princess came in

The Illness of Chief Justice Chase.
The New York World to-dav. In cominentlnir on
the illness of Chief JuBtlce Chase, says:
We have so few really able men in public life that
the country cannot afford to lose this eminent states
man and jurist. Fervent prayers will be offered up
from many hearts that he may soon show symptoms
of convalescence and be long spared for future use-
iuiness.
A New York Il&rald correspondent relates how
the President received the news. The writer says :
The President was very much shocked at the in
telligence, but expressed his doubt of Its correct
ness.
"I can hardly believe it is true." he said, "or the
news would certainly have been communicated to
me."
"Bis mends are anxious to keep It from being
known," continued the Informant.
"If true, it is a very sad affair," responded the
President, "and I still hope it may not be, for the
country has few abler men and none more worthy
of the public trust. His place would be difficult to
nu."
"I think there'll be no lack of men to take his
place," with unfeeling flippancy remarked a third
party, interrupting the conversation, "so you'll not
be troubled on this score."
"There'll be no lack of candidates," was the Presi
dent's laconic rejoinder.
OBIT I) Alt Y.
(General do Fall I y.
A cable telegram frem Brussels announces that
General Fatlly has been shot, one report statlug that
It was by order of Marshal MacMahon, and another
by his own men. The miserable part which he has
played In the war renders either report quite credible.
Pierre Louis Achllle de Failly was born In the year
1808. He received his military education at the
school of St. Cyr, and at the time of the revolution
In 16-13 was a lieutenant-colonel of a regiment of the
line. As a brigadier-general he took part in the Cri
mean war and distinguished himself greatly In the
service, especially In the battles of the Alma, of the
Mamelon Vert, and of Tracktlr. After his return
from this campaign he was made an aide-de-camp
to the Emperor, and In the Italian war he had com
mand of a division of General Niel's army corps. In
this war he distinguished himself at the battles of
Magenta and Solferino. He was selected in 1367 to
quell the Gartbaldlan movement, and lu doing so
made the first trial on a largo scale of the Chaise
pot. He was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the
8d Corps in 1S69, but at the outbreak of the present
war was transferred to the command of the 6tU
Corps, with his headquarters at the outset at Bitche.
During the battle at Woerth, it is alleged that he was
ordered by MacMahon to march to the latter'a
assistance, but failed to do so in consequence of a
blunder in transmitting the order by telegraph.
After the retreat from the line of the Baar he was in
command at Chalons, but on abandoning that place
as the Prussians advanced upon it, over
looked one hundred cannons, which would have
fallen into the hands of the enemy If Count de Pali
kao had not taken the precaution to have the camp
inspected after Its evacuation. For this oversight his
removal was ordered ; Wut at the opening of the re
cent series of battles on the Meuse General Wimp
fen, his successor, had not arrived to (replace bim
o that his military career did not terminate untl,
within a lew duys.

Presentment.
Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Allison.
This being the last Jay of the AuguBt term, Judge
Allison appeared in court for Judge Paxson, to clone
up the' business, and received the following final
presentment from the Grand Jury :
To the Honorable Judges of tlie Court of Quarter Ses
sions of the react for the City and County of Phila
delphia: We, the Grand Jury for the city and county of
Philadelphia for tlie mouth of August, 1870 do re
spectfully present that we have discharged
our duties without fear, favor, or affec
tion. We have acted upon 4'6 bills, of
which ISO have been returned as true bills and 23t
have been ignored. We have visited the Almshouse
and the County Prison and huve found thoso insti
tutions in good order, and as regards cleanliness
they far exceeded our expectation. The only fault
we observed was the overcrowdiug of
the Insane Department of the Almshouse and
In portions of the County Prison. We do not mean
to say that the Inspectors of the County Prison or
the Guardians of the Poor are iu any way responsi
ble for the overcrowding, as it is a nmtter over which
they have no control The Grand Jury think that
all persons committed for trial uhould have their
cases brought before the Court as soon as possible,
and the aldermen of the city should exercise mora
discrimination in Bending so many petty cases to
Court for trial, thereby saving the county the costs.
And we muxt say that the rapidity with which the
Grand Jury have leen enabled to dispose of the
business of; the present term is due to tlie assistance
obtained from the District Attorney and the gentle
men connected with his office. All transcripts re
turned, by the aldermen of the city were at once
placed in the hands of the clerks, and bills of ln
ilh tment presented for the action of tne Grand Jury.
It was this etienretlo course pursued by the District
Attorney and his assistants that enabled the Grand
Jury not onlv todispcse of the work before them, but
gave the Judge of the present Court an opportunity
to rid the community at once of some of tbe most
notorious offenders. The Grand Jury are convtaeea
that the lmposltiou of exemplary sentences will tend
to rid the city of all dangerous characters. It is out
iust to sav that we have had every attentlen paid ui
by the officers of the court, for which weietttXi
thanks.
After a f"w remarks of thanks for their servlcfti,'
the Judge Uchaigcd Ue Grand J uiura from fur UK I
aiundduce.
