leg one ballot for the man to represent whom they
were chosen at the polls.
The President stated that the rules of the party

Urge crowd of visitors Is to be expected. Owing to
the perishable nature of the objects exhibited, their
arrival is delayed until the last, moment, and then
their great number prevents them from being set
and arranged properly In a short time.

In the number of articles ana tne improvement, in
arrangement, the exhibition will undoubtedly be far
superior to anything Philadelphia has seen berore.
One cause of this superiority is the condition of
the fruit crop this season, which is said to be the
largest snd most perfect ever produced in Pennsyl
vania. The display In this department Is certaiuly
very fine. Tables on tables ore loaded down with an
oveiburdenlng loan of the largest pears, peaches,
apples, etc., that eye ever looked upon.
Another and oerhaps the most eillciont cause is
tiie increased care snd Interest, in the exhibition by
all the members and omcers oi t.ne society, to tneir
arduous exertions tne pieasea visitor is lU'iebtea lor
mof-t of the pleasure which he experiences.
The hall of the society has been n""-'- 1't Ml up
expressly for this exhibition. T ijriii.-r bare
white walls have been liandso-u jy frescoed, and
graceful Imitation columns now break the monotony
or tne iormor inanK spaces oei.ween tne winnows.
The paper imitation window curtains, wrinkled up
end torn by storms, winds, and luird service, have
been removed. 1 he eiiect is much better.
The decorations are In the best style, in front
of the hall, on the outside, evergreen trimmings
and trees have been placed, while inside the wood
work is handsomely coverea in many places, aim
this is in addition to the rich eiiect which the arti
cles on exhibition themselves give.
The ornamental urns ana vases wntcn grace me
front of the gallery have all been filled with ever
greens and irrowing plants. Hanging basket are
shown in pro'iislon everywhere, and flowers In pots
are placed in convenient localities a pruiuiueiiL
feature in the decorations of the main door Is the
centre fountain, which has again been placed In
position, which throws up its miniature stream In
cessantly, and in the basin of which numberless
gold llsh disport themselves, and miniature inlands
of rocks, stones, and tiny plants, founded on a firm
floating basis or cork, oner a saio retreat, ior wnat,
ever number of fairies may choose to occupy them.
The stage is tilled witu a great variety of plants,
and they are so arranged as to give the real etfjet
of beantlf ul scenes In nature. The floor is entirely
covered with moss, rocks, plants, and the like, taste
fully arranged, and on either side rise imitation hi'ls
covered with plants, and these are backed by the
painted landscape scene. In the centre at the
furthest side Is a beautiful Imitation of a water-fall.
The water leaps from the edge of a pretty
high rock some distance into a pool beneath
and Is lost among the bushes and shrubbery which
surround It. The plants at the sides form a bower In
which will be concealed the chorus and orchestra,
which every evening during the continuance of the
exhibition win aua aauuiouai attraction Dy nne per
formances. The chorus wiil consist of members of
our best private societies and clubs, who can thus
add to tne entertainment wnuout uiey mctnseives
going through the ordeal of a public exhibition.
There will be about one hundred voices, and among
other things the great national airs of Germany,
France, and America will bo sung. The Germania
will supply the accompaniments, and also discourse
music on tnetr own account, uno oi inese prome
nade concerts will take place tnta evening.
The dlsnlay of rare plants, flowers, bouquet, and
floral designs Is more extensive and beautiful than
usual. Specimens may be seen from nearly every
garden in and near the city, and many have been
sent from quite a distance. Some of the floral de
signs are quite elaborate, being over eight feet In
height, and the bouquets are mostly large enough
to be unpleasant In one's buttonhole. The grapes
are startling for size and number. The specimens
sent by Robert ltamsey, gardener for B. J. Leedom,
of Germantown, are very noticeable. Terra-cotta
work for ornamenting gardens and such places,
and for use lu horticulture, may be found In
every variety from Oossin fc McMahon's
works. The Valve Jar Company exhibit
specimens of preserved fruits of all kinds, from
peacnes oown to cut corn ana cnestnuts. a large
portion of one table is covered with fruit from Sat
ferthwalt, Jenklntown, Pa. Daniel Ferguson, gar
dener, opposite L.aurei uui, naa a very complete
table of rare plants. John l'lander, Morlst, No. 10
North Twelfth street, and William South wood, No.
17 North Sixth street, show One specimens of rustic
baskets and other out-of-door ware of the same
kind. Robert Bulst's table Is complete as usual, as
Is also that containing the plants from Mrs. Bald
win's conservatory. There are very fine specimens
of fruit from Robert Barker, of Cheltenham town
ship, Montgomery county, and quite a large number
from Ellwauger & Barry, of Rochester, N. Y.
The display of vegetables Is, as Scott's dominie
would have eatd, 'prodigious." Watermelons are
there almost as big as a house, and the sweet pota
toes are not much smaller. Egg-plants are of the
size of footballs, and the cabbage heads can com
pare favorably with any that have ever been made
into sourcrout. Altogether the exhibition, or har
vest home, as tne directors are pieasea to can it, is
as line as could be wished, but a complete descrip
tion of all Its beauties at present would be more
than either time or space will permit.
Many names of exhibitors have not been men
tloned, but the list embraces nearly all those lnte
rested In the subject, and the number of them is
legion. A complete idea of what can be seen at the
place can only be obtained by a visit, it will con.
tlnue open until Friday

We see by an advertisement that an anatomical

be closed for a few days on account of a death In the

deaths occur In the anatomical family dally. That
was an extremely neat way of putting it.

A $4,400,000 FAILURE.
An Old and Once Wealthy New York House
CraHhed In the Whirlpool of Wall Mtreel.
The old, well-known, and long-established house
of Francis Skinner & Co., dry goods commission
merchants, have (ailed. Their paper was protested
on baturday, and yesterday the failure was publicly
announced, 'i ne nonse oi r rancis BKinner & co.
has been established forty-one years, and nntll
within the past year was considered one of the
soundest in the city.
About Ave years afro the elder Mr. Francis Skin
ner men. At mat time tne nrm was consiuered
worth from five to eight millions of dollars. After
the death of Mr. Skinner his estate was represented
by his son and Mr. Bard well, of the firm of Jordan
& liardwell, Mr. lmtnall bolug the other partner In
tbe firm.
Witbtn the past year or two. Instead or confining
themselves to their legitimate business, they be
came Infatuated with the Wall street gambling
rings, and to their large operations and losses there
Is attributed their failure.
The liabilities of the firm are estimated at
14,400.000, and their assets at 2,6oo,ooo. Tbe nrin
clpal losers are the New England manufacturing
companies, wnose goons uwy soia, tne lacouia,
l'epperell, Naumkeag, Ilatea, and Androscoggin.
Several Boston banks are also large holders of tlieir
paper, as well as a number of - our Wall street
bankirs.
The manufacturing companies mentioned above
are wealthy, aad the loss which falls on them will
not atl'ect them In the least. The firm for the past
year nave not soia tne gooas oi tnese companies,
but have nevr been able to liquidate the sums
due on previous sales. The expectation that they
would be able to do so has been entertained until
within a short time, when their Inability was made
known.
About a year ago large quantities of their paper
was floating about Wall street, and selling at a con
siderable distount, when in order to save tuel
credit the Boston banks bouirhtitup, and are bud
nosed to be holders of a large amount of It.
None has been ofl'eied In this market for tbe past six
niontbB, the last thut was negotiated being duly
paid.
As the failure of this Arm is due entirely to causes
outside their legitimate business, and as this fact Is

Naturalization of Afrloana.
This morning Judge Ludlow delivered the follow
ing opinion :
The a tof Congress approved July 14, 1870, en
titled "An act to amend the naturalization laws,
aud to punish crimes against tbe same, and for other
purposes," declares (section 7) "tlmt the naturaliza
tion laws are hereby extended to aliens of 4 fricaa
nativity and to persons of African descent " Tne
amendment commonly known as the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United KUtes
swept away the distinction of color, and the sec
tion of the act approved July 14, lso, in fact reiieala
as to aliens of Alrlcan nativity and persons of Afri
can defceeut so much of tne act of gtith May, 1824, as
limits the application of that act to "tree white per
sons." Any alien of A frlcan nativity or of African descent
is therefore placed In the position of an alien being
a "free white person;" if, therefore, an African or
a person of African descent came Into the country
before he was elghteeu years of age, and has re
sided In the country as Is provided by the terms of
the act of Congress of May 16, 1624. he u entitled to
naturalization. '
Satisfactory proof having been made In this case,
it is my plain duty, under the amendment to the
Constitution of the United States and the act of
CoDtrress aDDroved July 14, lt.10, to administer to
th.seurloiitr the cath o; aiiegiaoce.

Bismarck's official report to King William,

interview held with the French Emperor at
Sedan, which lasted for an hour. Napoleon
sought better conditions in the matter of capltu-
tion than had been offered at first by the Ger
mans.
On this as a military point M. Bismarck re
fused any discussion, but announced to the
Emperor that he was quite willing and ready to
discuss questions looking to peace.
The Emperor replied that as he was a prisoner
that was impossible, but referred tho Count to
the actual Government at Paris.
M. Bismarek said that the situation at Paris
offered no entering point for such an overture.
The Emperor then proposed that the French
army be allowed to pass the Belgian frontier
and there surrender its arms. This was also
refused.
The Emperor stated farther that he deplored
the horrors of war, but that he had yielded
wholly to the public opinion in declaring war.
M. Bismarck accompanied the Emperor to
Bellevue, where General Wimpffen was at that
time negotiating with King William relative to
the capitulation.
The. Emperor was not allowed to see the
King until the negotiations for the surrender
were concluded. When these were finally an
nounced they destroyed the Emperor's hope for
better terms. The French officers were then
dismissed on parole.

STRASBURG.
An Account of the Early Operations of the
Uermiu Forces
Tbe Staatfianzeujer thus describes the operations of
the German force before Strasburg: "Since the
12th of August Strasburg has been Invested by a
small body of Prussian. Bavarian, and Baden troops.
This corps is a portion of the Southern Army, and
is, therefore, under the command of the Crown
l'rlnce: but It forms an Independently acting
division, and has been under tbe direction
of the Baden General von Beyer, who hav
ing returned to Carlsruhe on account of
Illness, his place Is temporarily filled
bv General-Lieutenant von Werder. The Orand
Duke himself takes an active part In the manage
ment of his troops, and has stationed himself at
Larnpertshelcn, where the headquarters are placed.
Tbe garrison of the fortress appears to be from 600
to 700 men strong, to whom a few battalions of the
National Guards may be added. The artillery
equipment Is very good, but the besiegers are pro
vided witn evcrjtning necessary ror a regular sietrc.
The troops intrusted with the Investment of tne
place are chiefly quartered In a wide semicircle in
the surrounding villages. Those villages In the
neighborhood which are free from billeting have daily
to furnish nxed quantities oi provisions, -me rail
ways radiating from the fortress to Brumath,
(Nancy), Mutzig aud Colmar, are in our possession;
the line to Kehl Is temporarily broken up. and the
roads to Kalz. Ilaguenau, Zabern, Barr-Colmar, and
Basle are held by us. All external intercourse is
thus cutoff with the stronghold of Uchlestadt, seven
miles (German) aistaut. rue nrst encounter be
tween the garrison aud the besiegers occurred on
the 18th, when the Baden troops at three separate
poiuts successively attacked the defenses, with
which as, for example, the equipment of the walls,
the razing of the glacis, the barricading of the
approaches with palisades, trenches, chevaux-de-
frise, and other obstructions the garrison Is ac
tively employed. In one of these encounters the
fcailen artillery succeeded in setting are to a
railway goods train, while a field battery placed
within sooo paces or ine fortress cannonaded tne
railway buildings, wmcn me lire naa lighted up.
The 1ob8 of the Baden troops on the 17th was three
killed and seventeen wounded. On the 16th the
commandant of the fortress, Oolonel du Chassat,
made a sortie In the direction of Ostwald, but was
repulsed witn a loss oi men anu tnree guns, ua tne
lath the Investment was. drawn closer; on the
morninir of the 17th firing was begun en tha right
bank of the Khlne, near Kehl, lasting nearly the
whole day, with but short Intermissions, aud
it was vigorously returned. The encounters
which have as yet occurred how
that tbe besiegers aim especially at the northern
md southern sides of this triangular fortress.
ColontJ du Chassat appears to Intend, according to
the latest reports, to withdraw Into the citadel. At
least the blowing up of the cannon foundry aud the
artillery depot on tne 16th seems Indicative of this,
lie would lu that case abandon the town, so as to be
betiox anie to siauu a siege in the citauei. wnicu
is provisioned for thiee months. The Impartial
A !acin states that the besiegeiu, having bad several
of their batteries sueuced bv the lire of tne gar
rison, now content themselves with throwing
twenty or uurty sneus into iae piace at nigut.
Six persons nave been killed by these projectiles,
and the inhabitants are obliged ta take refuge iu
the cellars. Fifteen houses have been destroyed by
the boiubarauumt. Tne eaihedrai nas been injured.
The town is said to swarm with .Prussian spies, and
an order has beeu issued that any person found on
tnerooisur tne nouses snail be lmuieuiateiy snot.
It seems mat me itushiaus were informed by warn
ings from the town of the recent sortie, and were
therefore on the alert even before the assailants had
passed I he gates of the fortress. The commandant
dad threatened reprisals sgaiust Kehl la the event
of bombardment, and the Baden troops disregard
ing ihw, mat town naa been almost destroyed."

From the JV. P. Herald.
"Th moralists who inveieh aeainHt tha wickedness of
stock operations should take a stroll through the at pro
rent almost deserted precincts of Wall street, and flatter
themselves that stock gambling is on tbe wane. The week
opened on an intensely dull siate of attaint in every de
partment of business. The sales at the board comprised
tbe exchange of only a few hundred shares. The orHoial
list a tbe end ot tins article usa seldom presented so

"There was, as a ooneeqnenoe of this dullness, ver) lit
tle inquiry for money, aud the rate on call averaged five
per cent, for mot of the loans to stock houses. Some
borrowers paid six per cent., but on tue otner nana tne
larger Government dealers were abundantly supplied at
four Der cent. There was more disposition te malte time
engagements. Loans were made at thirty days for seven
Dir cent, and stocks were 'turned' for sixty days at seven
per cei.t. and a commission of ali to percent. In oar
review of tbe money market yesterday a typographical
error spoke of 'a disposition to stringency,' when it should
have read 'indispotition to stringency.' Discounts feel
this relaxation, and there is nure currency for prime
naioes.

was who first imagined the great concentration of
troops by rapid marches. M. de Moltke, his fervent
adml er, has always manifested the greatest
contempt for our strategy. I remember
having heard quoted some of his very words ad
dressed to a French officer on a mission to Berlin:
'Do not talk to me of your military education lu
Africa. If you have never been there, so muca the
better: when you become General you will be gUd
of U. The war you have been carrying on for forty
yrars agslnst the Arabs is guerilierie of aa Inferior
order. Never any skilful inarches, no felnU, no
couiiter-marcbes, rarely any surprises. With that
school you will do not'dng luoro than form other
schools like it. The first gieat war will demon
strate your inefficiency, and were I not in the
presence of a man of yuur merit, Sir, I should
not hesitate to laugh at your ignorance of the
trade to which you devote yourselves. Among
you do not deny it pioneer U al most a ridiculous
person, and in general the workiug man Is one of
mean intelligence. Here, on t ie contrary, the most
coi scientious studies are in tho order of tlied-iy,
and the lowest cap'-aiti knows as much as your staff
officers who are so brilliant in the biil-room. H ive
you even a superilcial smatteriog of the elements of
the military art on leivtt.g your specUl sch o!i ?
H ome now,' continued General do Moltke, taking
the other by the hand, 'I wager that you do not
know what is the most valuable piece of furni
ture for the chamber of au orilcer iu garnsin.
Come with me.' So saying, the old Prussian
led his Interlocutor into a smill bed-chamber
suited to a sui-lieutenaut; a s;n ill bl without
curtains, three straw chairs, shelves of books from
tie floor to the roof, aud In the middle of the room a
black wooden hoard on an easel, the ground strewed
with morsels of chalk. 'It Is with this we beat our
adversaiies every morning,' murmured the old tac
tician, who was destined to give aftewardtso severe
a lesson to General Frossard, the professor of the
Prince Imperial. 'And for drawing, here la all we
want,' and M. oe Moltke exhibited some geographi
cal maps. What a singular conversation, when one
thinks that It took place in March, 1-slO, for I copy It
literally from a letter dated the 21st of that mouth.
What may we not have to say about the lessons to

''VIVE LA. PRUSSE !"
The Dancer of o Ezrdatoilna- la France A
Horrible Narrative
The vlllaee of Uautefaye (Dordognej has been the
theatre of a crime of so hideous a character as to
rewind one of the barbarism of the Middle Ages.
Without entering into the details of the preliminary
Incidents, it will suillce to state that a wealthy
landed proprietor, the owner of the chateau
of Bretagnes, one Sionr de Moneys d'Ordleres,
was burnt alive by the populace, under the
Impression that he had cried out, " Vioe la Prueeel"
It appears that he did make use of these words, but
only at the end of a reply he was addressing to ft
band of fellows who had insulted him and his cousin
by poluttng them out as "tine gentlemen who paid
others to fight the Prussians for them." M. do
Moneys Indignantly denied the allegation, and even
declared tbat, though rich, he did not intend to pur
chase a substitute, out would himself risk; his life
for the country. He added : "Those who at such a
moment endeavor to shirk the discharge of their pa- '
trlotlc duties are cowards.and make common cause
with all who shout, 'Vive la Prusse!'" Tnese last
words alone were heard by a part of the band who
had provoked this retort. It was sumclenc Tbe
young man he was only twenty-nine was Imme
diately set upon and fled. He was pursueih recap
tured, aud beaten aud kicked, and then dragged to
the dried-up bed of a pond in tne field where the
fair is usually held. The ferocious rurnans next got
a heap of faggots and put tho already half dead
man upon It, and having heaped more over him, set
the pile on Ore. The unfortunate young man, unable
to move, expired In awful agony. His father arrived
while the young man was being burnt. Wnen the
fire was extinguished the body was a mere charred
heap- Tbe loyalty of M. de Moneys was notorious,
and no one seems to be abe to accouut for this
savage act. The judicial authorities are lu search
of the perpetrators of this atrocity. ( r
Fechter In Boston.
Tbe Globe Theatre at Boston, with Mr. Fechter a?
manager, opened last night. Monte ChrUto was the
performance. . The setting of tne play was truly S
magnificent, it is doubtful lr anytnmg more satis
factory and more eifucttve has ever been seen on
the Boston stage than the two scenes representing
tbe Port of Marseilles and the Chateau of If.
The new act-drop, concerning which great expeo-'
tatlons had been formed, was a disappointment. It
was a draped curtain merely, after the French style,
and was very tame and unlnterettlng.
At tbe end of the fourth act Mr. Fechter was
called before the curtain and greeted with loud
cries of "Fechter!" "Fechter!" and, In response to
the ovation, he said;
Ladiea and Gentlemen I hall not attempt thus in the
middle of drama to make a upeeoii. I have not tbe
words at command to exprese mi gra'itnde for your kind
ness. I can merely bow nr thanks. But I wish to tender
my thinks, and 1 ask von to tender yours to the bis;
besrted man who bas opened his purse so liberally in the
interests of art. I name the proprietor, Arthur Cheney.
Mr. Cheney was hereupon londly called for, and
oa his appearance was cordially and heartily ap
plauded, after which the performance proceeded
qnietly to Its close.
