A Mans Meeting: In the Fifteenth Wnrd. A large and enthusiastic meetiDg of citizens was held under the auspices of the Democratic Campaign Club of the Fifteenth ward, at Broad and Coates street, last evening. Colonel Edinund Randall was chosen Chairman, and the other officers were appointed as follows: Vice-Presidents Charles liensil, John Lawrence, Samuel E. Bright, James Van Oaten, and John Murray. Secretaries Benjamin Harper, Joseph Bond, famuel W. Kandall, and Lewis Pigeon. The first speaker was Colonel Kandall. He con gratulated those present on the Improved condi tion of the Democratic party, which, he said, was not only a unit in crganlzatiou but a unit in principle. He referred tt the dis orderly conventions of the radical party, and baid that the Democratic conventions were carried on in harmony and with a spirit of wisdom. The candidates placed before ttie peo ple were gentlemen of integrity and standing in ihe community, and in the make-up of the ticket the soldier had not been forgotten. The party iu the Fourth dibtrlct saw fit not to make a nomi nation for Congress, but Judge Kelley, the radi cal nominee, was about to meet a foeman wortby of his steel in .the person of William B. Thomas, who has been identified with the interests of this city and State for a number of years. lie is presented to the people as a fit person to repre sent the dUtrictin Congress. Colonel Randall referred to the course of Judge Kelley in Con gress, and denounced his actions and measures. Colonel Randall's remarks were received with great applause. General Thomas said that he was present by invitation of the young Democracy of the Fif teenth ward, and he was glad of the opportu nity to address such a class of citizens, lie would wait to see if the Republican party ex tended to him a similar invitation. He claimed the right to address both parties, as he was an independent candidate before the people for Congress from the Fourth district. He felt certain that he occupied as high a position as any other citizen in this community, and he had no doubt that voters considered it a high compliment to be asked to vote for a man who has not been nominated by any clique or party. The speaker -referred to the contest in the Se cond district, and said that the citizens there were in a great predicament they were wait ing for Covode or Hill to say who they should vote for. General Thomas denounced such party feeling, and deplored the present condi tion of the free voters in that section of the city. He only hoped that an independent candidate was in the field there, for the sake of the dignified voters. He (the speaker) stood be fore the people in an imposing attitude. He appeared without the endorsement of any nomi nating convention, and he occupied an indepen dent position, because the party with which be had labored for thirty-five years, the party .of principle, and which was above corruption, had fallen into corruption and the people were forced to look in another direction. That party, said Mr. Thomas, must be purified. The Repub . lican papers except the J'rens, the editor of which has the party too closejy drawn around his neck, have for a long time past been de nouncing the leaders of the party the Legisla ture of the State, who are the exponents of the party. They have denounced that body as the most corrupt of any in the country. If the voters of this district or any other do not want to be identified with the Legislature of the past two years, they must 6eek redress by simply acting the part of independent men. Speaking of Judge Kelley, General Thomas said i hat he never did anything for the interests of his constituents, and he was surprised to find him a candidate, as he distinctly said in a pub lished letter that be would not accept the noml tion if be was to be pestered with applicants fur positions. He, General Thomas, was not an orator, nor a constant lecturer for pay, but a laboring man in his own establishment. At to the assertion that Judge Kelley was becoming poor by serving the people, he could not under stand it. When he was a judite he received only $-500 a year, but now as a Congressman he re ceived i 5000 for only about six months' work. How much he received outside he could not say. The speaker thought him a fit subjec. for the care of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. General Thomas spoke for at least an hour. He denied the assertion that he was a free-trader, and said that he was opposed to coolie labor. He was also opposed to heavy taxation, and believed in the creation of a sink ing fund and the payment of the public debt from year to year, so that taxation might not be burdensome. The marks of General Themas were well re ceived. In a few well-timed remarks Samuel W. Ran dall, Esq., closed the meeting. CITY COUNCILS.

In diplomatic circles there is a firm belief that the Orleans family will be restored to the throne of France. The arrival In Europe of the Count d'Eu, f eneral-in-chlef of the Brazilian armies, Is cer ainly regarded as significant. Thiers is said to have had a long interview with the members of the Orleans family here, and it is said that he delivered to the Duke d'Aumale an important private letter from General Trochu. It is said the British government has suspended all its contracts for building turret ships. The Klecteur Libre, of Paris, says that negotia tions with the object of obtaining peace, have been going on between Jules Favre and Minister Matter nich. in Paris, and Minister Bancroft, at Berlin, but have failed. The King of Prussia rejects American mediation, and Mr. Bancroft replies that he can only remain a spectator of the conflict. Mr. Washburne, in com municating Mr. Bancroft's dispatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, adds that he could only record his protest against this impious war. His Holiness the Pope has received a letter from King Victor Emanuel, in which the latter explaius the course he has lately taken. Any delay ou his part, he says, would have occasioned the procla mation of the republlo In every Italian city, and his army would not have fought the republic, which would have been fatal to the Papacy. As It Is, re publicanism is to raupau: that it may prore irre-irmible. Lo ro, Rett. r. -Sj ' : ..' to N. w Y.irk Hertd 1 Al 5tTh, rlHt.il k st. De:i'.

A Madrid dispatch of jester Jav announces that the council of Ministers" hid decided to recall O'to zat a from Paris ior having exceeded his instruc tions. LONDON, Sept.

The Prussians apprehend the approach of Bsza'.ne's army, which is report-id to Lave craped irons Metz, and is even said to tave reached Csrignan.'" I.isros. Sept. 15 Special to the New York World 1 The deraixra-.ie demonstration on Mon day next will be the most formidable ever held in London. The programme is tuil of grand proces sions, llackr.ey, Clcrkenwell, Ltirtg'on and all sections will be represented. Englishmen will march in a bo'y :o jjm the Ita'.lan and French re publicans at Trafalgar S riare, an t all will then proceed to the official residence of Mr. Ciladitone, and demand a recognition of the Republic of France.

The occupation of Rome creates even mirp in terest here than Paris. The Proteslant sentiment in England Is jubilant. Lojidoh, Sept. 15 Special to New York Tri bune. A eorresponuent teleeraphs from Esch, near Luxemburg, to-day, as follows: There has beeu no righting at Metz since Septem ber 2, txcet t two hours' bombardment on the 13:h. ierroan officers say that the French reply is weak. The German fofre's have been contracted and have clored in much nearer the walls during the past week.chiefiy en the east and south sides. Some now remain near Brley. Ticket tiring, which was formerly discouraged by the German commander, is now encouraged, so ai to prevent comradeship between the pickets. The French are anxious to approach the Prus sians in a friendly manner to get victuals and news, anil it is repotted from French, sources that the garrison must soon starve. Great destitution exists among the peasantry. No grain is left, and even the Gurman wounded have but the poorest black bread. In the ravaged districts help for the starving villagers will be needed soon. An official appeal is being prepared for publication in England and America. Paris, Sept. 15. The Gairtois has reason to prodict happy results from the peace negotiations now pendiug. The French troops which recently crossed the Rhine into Baden territory will probably remain and operate on German soil. Reinforcements have gonetotbem. Trochu, in his order of the day to the National Guard, says the result of the review is very gratifying. He feels assured that the defence of the city will be admirably maintained. Paris is ready to sacrifice all in order to give time to France to organize for irresistible defence. Last night the Parisians were awakened by a tremen dous cannonading all along the ramparts. It was supposed that an attack had been made, and there was some excitement, which, however, was allayed when the announcement was made that the gun ners were only practicing. The city shops are mostly closedi and masters and employes alike are drilling. Workmen and the National Guard have made another demonstration of regard to Washburne and tho United States gov ernment. Lord Lyons the British minister, warns English residents to leave the city now while they may. The Place de la Concorde is tilled with cavalry and the National Guard. A Prussian was discov ered to-day in a secluded place tiring with a ritle at one of the balloons which are being used at outlooks by the military authorities. He was promptly ar rested. A large number of sharpshooters are en camped at Montmartro, in the northern part of this city. Gustavo Flourens, Fouville and Chate.iu brand are in command of batteries at Paris. Friendly demonstrations have been mads by the Garde Mobile and people in front of the American consulate, and much enthusiasm was manifested. The Prussians to-day are camped at Croix-a.ix-Bojs, and other points near the city. At Nojent-sur-Seine uhlans appeared, but retreated, it bain evident that the people intended to tight them. 1 is reported that many of the large siege guns of the Prussians are deeply imbedded in the mud ot the canal de la Alarne. The Germans attempted to transport their guns by this canal, and the French suddenly let the water out of it. It is said this will delay the siege considerably. The forts at Lyons are completed, and many troops are reach ing there. The guns are all in position. Advices received from all parts of France say that large sums of money are being subscribed for the na tional defence, and large forces are being raised and equipped in all the departments. A party of American volunteers passed through Tours to-day, coming to Paris. Conscripts of the regular army are drilling here daily. Paris, Sept. 15. Special to the New York Herald. The Prussians are advancing in immense force, and to-morrow the capital will be completely isolated. All the railways have been cut, with the exception of the lines running west from the forest of Montmorency. The forest of Bondy is now burning, and other forests will be destroyed to morrow. The gas conneetions will not be cut for a few days. Trochu has published a proclamation to the troops. Neuilly is full of supplies and food. The gates of Paris will be closed to-morrow. There are now over 6,000,000 pounds of powder in this city. Seventeen bridges of the Seine have been destroyed. No French fortress has yet been taken. Paris is grateful for American sympathy, and all classes are resolved to fight to the death. Paris, Sept. 12. Special to the New York Sun. The news of the American offer of mediation has been received with great gratitude, but General Cluseret advised the people last night, at Bellville, to refuse mediation, and fight. He said if the French Republio conquers alone the freedom of the soil, it will not only be a consolidation forever of republican institutions in France, but all over the world. Death or victory! There must be no other end. Even in the bourgeoise the same feeling prevails, and strange to say the only weak elements are offi cers coming in from AIcMahon's army, who having been cowards or themselves betrayed and routed, say to the people, "you cannot succeed where we failed." Some officers of the Garde Mobile, wealthy 'petits creves" of the Emperor, are in the same spirit, but the people, the real people, are unani mously in the highest spirits, and will certainly fight, and ten times better than the army. The amount of material and men accumulated here is really frightful. Certainly 500,000 men are now under arms here. General Cluseret has been unani mously elected by twenty arrondisements of Paris, with Flourens and Shnlller, as a Central com mittee of War. Mundilsheim, near Strasburg, Sept. 15. The besiegers completed their third parallel before Strasburg on Tuesday, and lor forty-eight hours a breaching battery has maintained a constant fire with telling efleot. The Republio has been declared in Strasburg. A detachment of General Keller's command dispersed a force of French riflemen near Col mar on Wednesday. Paris, Sept. IS Special to the New York Tri bune. The Gauloit affirms that the British gov ernment has sent another letter to the King of Prussia demanding peace, and asking upon what conditions Prussia would sign and where they could have peace concluded, and also informing him that the basis that woi 1 be agreed upon by the neutral powers would be the integrity of French territory. No written answer was received to this message, but the King asks what guarantee the provisional government of Franoeoan offer, and whether the French people and the regular govern ment to succeed the present one would ratify a treaty of intervention. A errand nephew of the Prussian von Moltke is a clerk oa a Mississippi steamboat. A New Orleans paper is determined to make politics pay. It prints at the head of its edito rial page a notice: "We wish it to be distinctly understood by political aspirants that all nomi nations and cards favoring the nomination of particular (individuals are regarded as adver tisements, and must be arranged for at our busi ness counter." Some startling statistics of inebriation in the United States have been compiled by a St. Louis physician. Taking 800 men, it is found that 122 never drink spirits at all; 100 driuk moderately, but not to intoxication; 50 are occa sional drinkers, 25 periodically, called "spree lng," and three are habitual drunkards. There is one confirmed inebriate in evtry 59 of drinking men. Counting off 700 women, 600 never taste alcoholics of any kind, SO taste wine occasionally, 17 taste ardent spirits, 86 drink ale or beer constantly, 14 drink ardent tplrits periodically, and three are habitual ino-hrlutes.
