THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFIT PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1870. UHyAflntre. Etfore AlcJeriurm South, yestorJay after noon, James Monaghan had a final hearing on the charge of (hooting James Cleary on Sunday night, the 28th of Angust. Oom- lainant testified that he was at the public ouse of Edward Bonnoll, No. 17 Soath Ninth street, when two men drove no in a wgon and came into the tavern to get a drink. One of the men asked him to drink with tlieiu, and while he was at the bar Monaghan threw a tnmbler at him, and he hurled the bar pitcher at Monaghan; then they clinched and were Boon separated. Monaghan then went away and returned in an hour and a balf, and presented a pistol at witness. Cleary jumped and got hold of him, and both fell to the floor. Monaghan fired three shots, one of which took effect In Cleary's hip, causing, however, only a flesh wound. Mona ghan was held in !f2(X0 bail f or his appear ance at the next term of the Court. Q Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing, Mr. Edward N. Megargee, residing in the Twenty-second ward, was aroused from Bleep by a noise in the house, and upon going down stairs discovered a man in the act of Inndling tip some articles preparatory to tl eir removal. Giving the alarm, Policeman "William Bishop came to his assistance, and the burglar was secured. About 11 o'clock on Tuesday evening, while Nicholas Hogan was passing along Sixth street, near Fitz water, on his way home, he was attacked by the gaqg of young men and l adly beaten. They knocked him down and jumped on him, and all without any cause as far as he knows. The Board of Trusts held a stated meeting yesterday afternoon, at their rooms on South Fifth street. The several repre sentatives of the various trusts made report that matters were progressing satisfactorily in their different departments. The row of new houses upon the Girard property at Hixthand Brown streets were being rapidly erected. Two of them are already under roof; four others are rapidly being roofed; and the remaining ten, for the same purpose, will bo ready by next week. The alteration into stores of the three dwellings in Girard Row is being rapidly pushed forward. The estate, when they are completed, will be one of the finebt rows of stores in the city. The studies in the college have been resumed, after a vacation of two months. The boys are now attending to their studies with renewed energy. A battalion of cadets has been organized, and supplied with muskets suited to their age. Military discipline is now an established portion of the institution, and these four companies of college cadets, well uniformed, are in an excellent state of disci- filice. Tbey are armed and equipped, with heir own band, consisting of pupils. They present a very pleasing appearance. The Board have directed the paving of Water street with Belgian blocks, but the lateness of the season and the difficulty of procuring material will compel a delay until the coming spring. The board are taking measures for a thorough examination of the valuable Girard lands in Schuylkill and Columbia counties, as well as the large body of lands in Centre county bequeathed to them by Elias Boudinot. The Republican Invincibles held a largo meeting last evening at Conoert Hall. Hon. R. Stockett Matthews was the orator. About 8 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the upper story and roof of No. (5-J0 Spruce street. Before water could be put upon it, the flames had gained considerable headway and threatened the destruction of the surrounding property. They were finally got under control, and had been appa rently extinguished, when they suddenly broke out from beneath the tin on the roof of No. 028, and for a short time they burned fiercely. They were finally extinguished by the flood of water poured upon them, but not until considerable loss had been entailed upon the occupant and owner of the pro perty No. t',28, Mrs. A. P. Anderson. The damage will not probably exceed $'2Q0, and is fully covered by insurance. Domeatlo Affair. Gold closed yesterday at 114. Chaffee, Republican, is almost certainly elected delegate to Congress from Colorado. The Cincinnati Industrial Exposition will be opened on Wednesday next. It pro mises to be a great success. Hon. L. I). Shoemaker has been nomi nated by the Republicans of the Twelfth Pennsylvania Congressional district. A treaty has been concluded with the Of age Indians, whereby they agree to the sale of their lands in Kansas and to move to the Indian Territory. At a meeting of the St. Louis bar yester day, resolutions were passed deploring the death of Miss Bark aloe, a young female at torney of that city. A very high tribute was paid to the erudition, industry, and enter prise of the deceased lady. TIID WAR. LAST NIGIIT'3 DESPATCHES.

In diplomatic circles in this city, tbe mls kion of M.Thiers is deemed a complete failure, to tar as it relates to the application tor an inter cession in behalf of a stay of hostilities. Loudon, Sept. 14 Dispatch to the New York Herald. The latest advices from Strasburg are to the effect that the heroio defence is drawing to a clote, and the surrender Is imminent, occasioned by the failure of ammunition and provisions. London, Sept. 14 Special to the New York Tribune. The bavarian ministers are consider ing a scheme for the reconstruction of the North German Confederation and for forming a German Parliament. The democratic socialists are agitat ing for peace with their French brethren, ana are protesting egainnt the annexation of Alsace ana Lorraine. A printed address was seized by tbe police in Brunswick and its authors and publishers imprisoned. Mr. Washburne's letter to Favre Is sharply criti cised by the national Zeitung. It Is said that he Lad authority merely to recognize the new He public, and all beyond was an expression of personal reeling. It complains of his failure to protect the Germans under his care, now persecuted by Gam betta more cruelly than before. The King pro bibits the storming of Straxburg until It is possible without a great sacrifice of life. It is continued that Baiaine refuses all terms, and it Is expected tbst be will attempt to cut bis way out. The removal of General Stelnmets was caused partly by his needlet-s sacrifice of troops, and partly by bis Laving fought at Splrecken and Forbach gainft General Moltke's orders, and made the battles of Augubt 14 and 16 necessary. Tbe German Princes are preparing a manifesto regarding the future organization and government of Germany, to forestall popular action and anticipate liberal action. Minister Van Del Bruck, after visiting all the Princes not with the army, especially tbe King of Saxony, bas now gone to report to the King's hfettdouarters.

Kent. 11. rsceclal to the New York XiBf.-l aia convinctd that we shall soon Lave praoe. Th Repnbllcans now say openly that peace must be bad at any price. One who has intimate relations with the government tells me to-day that, eost what It mar, peace will be made at once, as the only wav of saving the Republic. Tbe Franca American fraternization Is culminating into ex travagance. Mr. Washburne is the hero of the hour, and daily demonvtrations in his honor take place. The name of the Avenue t'Imperatrice Is to be changed to the "Avenue tlei Klatt Unit." Pari, Sept. 13, evening Special dispatch to the New York Tribune One of the secretaries of the Brttlph embassy bas started for the Prussian headquarters to aek whether negotiations are possible. A correspondent, writing from Rheinn, Sept. 6, describes a conversation with Bt.marck, who beg in by expressing high regard for General Shorid in, and gratitude to the United States for their sym pathy with Germany. To a remark concerning German unity Bismarck replied that there wan no stronger friend of unity than himself, but care was required In accomplish lug the work. "South Germany having fought by our side her wishes must be considerodand her In clinations cannot now be compelled. We must ob tain the consent ot those States to join us. la Bavaria it seems impossible to agree on any form of union, even among thoto who favor union. At Baden things look better. No doubt there is an opening." The news of tho French Republic had Just been received, on which Bismarck said, "We shall not interfere with their domestic affairs." To a sug gestion that there must be time settled gavern ment to give Priienia a secure, guarantee for the payment of the wht expenses and indemnity, Bis marck replied only by repeating "We dn't want to interfere with the domestic affairs of France. Our people think we mirst have those Gorman pro vinces that France tooK Irotn us many years a?o. We must, at least, render Franco powerless ts me nace us by the same road. Metz and Strasburg we must have, and we ask no more. They are neaes eary to our own safety. We are a very patient people. They have been telling us that we would not light, and that they would compel u.j. Well, we aro like tho father cf a family, who, after en during many insults, at last consents to tight a duel, but only on condition that the struggle shall be decisive and shall be final." A correspondent, writing from the headquarters of the Italian army at Terni, on Sept. 10, say Senor Martini passed through that place, returning from Home, taking only an autograph letter from the King to the Pope, in which the King simply stnted that considering the important events that had occurred, he had thouehr. it his duty to occupy the Papal territory, promising to the Pontiff tho free exercise of his spiritual ollice. According to Cadorno's information, Martini had been received by the Pope, who said: "When the King's troops enter, 1 will decliro myself a pri soner." Cadorno believes the Popo has ordarcd bis troops not to resist the Italian government, anil that be ardently desires to avoid bloodshed. Col. Charettc, commandtr of the Papal forces, not withstanding the Pope's order, threatens to oppose the Italians. His force is concentrated near Mont falco, where defensive works are thrown up. The Papal army amounts to 17,000 well armed and equipped soldiers, having Remington muskets and several mitrailleuses. The zouaves threaten to massacre the people if a rising occurs. Calorno told mo that if any act of brutality Is committed they will kill the foreign troops to the last 111311, but tb.9 natives will be treated as brothers. Three divisions of tbe Italian army are encamped near Tern!. I asked Cadorno If there was any chance of their now abandoning the enterprise, and he started and exclaimed, "Dou't you see the spirit of the army and the people; to draw back now would be to ruin tbe government." Florence, Sept. 11 The answer sent by Mar tini from the Pope proves to be utterly illegible. The Cabinet vainly endeavored to decipher It, and the dispatch is believed to be a trick of Antonelll to gain lime. London, Sept. 14 Special dispatch to the New York Tribune. General Hazen arrived yes terday and left for the German headquarter?, General Bernstorff having telegraphed to Count Bismarck for a pass. Captain Raymond Rodgers, of the steamship Franklin, Is here. His ship will remain for some weeks at Portsmouth. The malls started to-night for Paris, but none have arrived. A correspondent telegraphs from Berlin to-day as follows: On trustworthy authority I can give the position of the government as follows: The so-called national defence government in Paris, though existing ite. facto, is of no validity de jure, nor will we treat with it. When Paris is taken, tbe Senate and Corps Legis latif, with tbe regency, the government de jure. can, and It Is expected will, resume their sessions and appoint a commission to accept terms of peace, and the Empress can return. When peace has been concluded, Napoleon will be released and France will be left free to Lave an Emperor, or such other government as Its people may want. London, Sept. 14 Special to the New York World. A grand democratic meeting will be held on Monday next, and resolutions will be introduced rolling upon Mr. Gladstone to acknowledge the French Republic. Advices from Lyons state that all English and GeimanB have been ordered to leave. The red republicans are in the ascendant and a terrible spirit is rising. Great meetings have been held of the workmen of La Croix Rousse, who threatened Tort Montressy. Martial law was declared and the people clamored for the expulsion of the Jesuits, and coffins were opened in one of tbe convents in search of arms and money. From Paris we learn that the American legation Las been compelled to double Its force. Steam en gines are stationed in tbe streets ready to extinguish fires. The Palais Royal and Palais de 1'InduBtrIe are barracks tilled with troops. A battery of mitrail leuses is established on tho arch de triumph. General Ripley, of confederate fame, and two artillery officers of tba United States army during tbe war have commands under Trochu. Many Americans have volunteered. The Seine is patrolled by gunboats. The advance guard of the Prussians is before Paris, consisting of 43,000 men, and the remainder are moving up slowly, having reached Coulommiers on Tuesday in force. There Is a rumor of an engagement yesterday be tween the German light cavalry and sharpshooters, at Moret, a station four miles from Fontainebleu, in which the cavalry were badly beaten and driven back. An alliance between Russia and Austria is believed to have been consummated. it is reported that Parliament will be convened in October. Instructions have been sent to the English fleet in China to co-operate with the French In avenging the massacre of the missionaries. Russia is also to act with the western Powers. The distress and gloom in east Prussia Las led to some outbreaks. Telegrams from Florence announce the occupa tion of Vlterbo, Civita Catellana,Magleano, and Monte-Rotondo, by the Italian troops, under Ca dorno. Another column, under Bixlo, is under the walls of Civita Vecchia, to co-operate with the fleet of Admiral Cerrati, and a third column is at Anagui. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
