t-'tt? Affair.
Oa Friday night, a inaa named Joseph
A. Black, employed as a brakeman oa the
Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, got on top of a train while it was
moving between Baltimore and Washington,
when the light in his lamp was blown out.
He attempted to relight it with match r, and
whita thus engaged, the train passed nn ler a
Viridge thrown across the road, an! BUck was
fttmck in the head, tiustaining a compound
fracture of the frontal bone, lie was re
moved as soon as discovered and surgical aid
summoned. The attending surgeons ex
amined and dressed the wound, and finding
it a very serious ono, ordered the removal of
Black to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where
ho arrived on Saturday, and, after lingering
for some hours in great agony, died in the
evening.
At 2$ o'clock yesterday morning Offiser
Burns attempted to arrest a' man named
George Cooper, on Third street, below Beaver.
Cooper assaulted the officer, it is alleged, and
broke away from him, when the policeman
drew his revolver and fired at Cooper, the
charge taking effect in his side and inflicting
a serious wound. Cooper was then taken to
the station house, lie resides at No. 1008
North Third street.
Shortly ief ore 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon a slight fire occurred at No. 15;l7 Wer
vine street, and, as usual on the Sabbath d ly,
the Fire Department turned out in full force.
As the fire proved of no account, the runners
of the various companies were dissatisfied,
and on their way home they amused them
selves by riotiog. In front of the Twelfth
District Station, at Tenth and Tnooap
pon streets, tho adherents of two
Kensington companies came together,
but the polioo were promptly on band and
checked the fight. Three men, named
Thomas McManus, John Robeson and Robert
McCallisk-r, were arrested for participating
in the melee. The adherents of two com
panies, from the western section of the city,
instituted a riot at Broad and Coates streets,
and a rnniiiug fight was kept up all the way
out Coates to Nineteenth street. Bricks were
thrown about promiscuously, but it is not
known whether any one was injured. The
police hero interfered and put a stop to the
disorderly conduct, but not until they had
arrested four men named William H. Hank,
James Houghton, Henry C. Bout and
Richard Shannon.
Ho men tie Affair.
Gold closed on Saturday at 11 4.
The total registration of the colored vote

Two men were killed by an explosion in
a powder factory, near l'ottsville, on Satur

round.
Distressing accounts continue to arrive
from the South of loss of life and property by
the great freshet. At Harper's Ferry over fifty
lives have been lust and many others are im
perilled. Arrangements are being perfected by the
Governors of Wisconsin and Minnesota for a
convention of the Western and Northwestern

Republican 3la.na Meeting.
On Saturday eveniog the great Republican
demonstration of the campaign, the first
meeting called by the Republican City Execu
tive Committee, was held on Broad street,
between Chesnut and Market, and was
largely attended. Two stands were erected,
one on the east side of Broad street, near
Chesnut, and the other on the west side of
Broad street, near Market. During the even
ing a splendid display of fireworks took place
at Broad and Market streets, under the direc
tion of Professor Jackson. One of the pieces
consisted of an immense arch which stretched
entirely across Broad street, and in letters of
silver fire were displayed the names of the
Itepnblioan Congressional candidates, Kelley,
Myers, O'Neill, Harnier, and Iluckel. Other
pieces contained the words "Maine," "Ver
mont," and "Victory." The Liberty Cornet
Band and Beck's Band were in attendance,
and the entire square presented a very ani
mated scene.
The meeting at the southern stand was pre
sided over by William S. Stokley, Esq., and
speeches were made by Governor Ilawley, of
Connecticut; Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania;
Hon. William D. Kelley, Hon. John Covode,
Hon. Charles O'Neill, and others.
At the northern stand' Thomas Cochran
presided, and speeches were made by Hon.
Leonard Myers, lion. Charles O'Neill, General
Henry H. Bingham, Governor Geary, and
others.
During the meeting at the southern stand
the following resolutions were read by Major
J. T. Tratt, and they were unanimously
adopted:
Jitsolved, That we are proud of the honesty,
economy, a?.d efficiency of our national and
State administrations, evinced at every Btep;
and especially by the fact that while they
have largely reduced both our national and
State debts, they have at the same time just
as largely reduced taxation, direct and in
direct. Resolved, That the people having settled by
constitutional amendment all questions of
reconstruction, any further agitation of the
subject is an evil, which can lead only to use
less and endless controversies.
Resolved, That the bold and extensive
frauds in registration, which the proceedings
instituted before United States Commissioner
Biddle prove to have been attempted in be
half of the so-called Democratic party, should
receive the united condemnation of good
men of all parties, as, if successful, they
would bring the elective franchise into con
tempt and undermine the very foundation of
popular rights.
Jlesohed, That the tariff for the protection
of American industry, as advocated by our
Congressmen, commends itself to our oordial
approval, by its reduction of duties on coffee,
tea, and other necessaries of life not produced
in this eountry; and by its increase of duties
on the articles through which the cheap labor
of foreign countries so ruinously competes
with that of our own workingmen.
Jlaolced, That a plentiful and reliable cur
rency ia the life of trade and business; and
that while we should constantly aim at an
eventual return to specie payments, we should
guard against undue haste, lest we postpone
the desired end by crippling our resouroes.
Hacked, That having, after many trials
and troubles, abolished slavery throughout
the land, we protest against its introduc
tion in a new form by any system of foreign
labor contracts, whether with Chinese or any
other people. We welcome men of all na
tions to share our blessings, but we demand
that tbey be free and voluntary emigrants,
and not bondmen owing service or labor to
their importers.
Jttjiolrrd, That having hailed with enthusi
asm the unanimous uprising of the freeman
of Germany against the attack of Napolooi,
we confidently trust that the issue of the war
now being waged may be the unity of the
entire German race, bringing with this a
lasting peace to tho nations of Europe.
Jlesohcd, That we heartily approve and
endorse the Republican nominees for Con
Messrs. Iluckel, O'Neill, Myers, Kel
ley, and IIarmr; our candidates for the State
Legislature, and for city and county offiaes,
to bo voted for at the approaching election,
and solicit for them the support of our fellow
citiaens as being worthy of their suffrages,
both for the high character of the gentlemen
whose names are presented and for the great
free principles which they represent.
After which the Major read letters from
ro&tmaster-General John A. i. Creswell, Ros
ooe Oonkling, and J. M. Howard, regretting
their inability to be present.
Tlin WAR,

THE TIOHTINO NEAR PAIUS ACCOUNTS Or I'HUS
SIAN KEVEItSES UNTKUE GETTIXft READY FOR
THE BOMBARDMENT.
Jjokdon, Oct. 1 A correspondent writs frim
Berlin on Sept. 2!)th: " 1'he idea H Ktrotiijl v h Iv t
cated that the surrender of Stmflbar is likely to
produce a complete change in tlie war. It is Hal. I
that ISazaine is now willing to capitulate, n pin tiu
otter by Prupma to restore the imperial gjern
ment and order, and agree to peace. ThU luiet
the support of the Imperialistic coldiers and in i
jority of the bourgeoise nd peasants. Well in
formed pernone express the ponviction that X ipa-,
leon. or hi con, under the regency of tho Lrap:esj,
will be reseated on tho throne.
WilhcliiiMiohe is the rendezvous of dlHtingiitHh!d
guests of the Kmperor, and the hotel in the vicinity
of the castle is crowded. Tiie Kmperor is in per
fect health, and makes daily excursions on foot and
in a carriage, accompanied by several adjutant on
horseback. I recently addressed a note to his Ma
jesty, requesting the favor of an interview, and
considering the peculiar and delicate situation of
the Imperial prisoner, I was not surprised at re
ceiving the following negative reply: "Monsieur
The Kmperor received your lett.cr of September 1!,
and was much allecte'd at the sentiments of sym
pathy thcrelu expressed. His Majesty has charged
roe to convey his thanks, and tell you how much he
regrets that circumstances will not permit him to
receive you. Please accept, Ac,
"A. I)k Lavristocq, OiUcerof Ordnance."
The number of French prisoners in Germ ny is
not short of 170,000, and of that number 110,01 are
within the bounds of Prussia; C0,lfi0 are in forts,
and others in open camps. A cabinet council has
declared that the prisoners may be employed by
persons not connected with the military department
and their wages will be prescribed by -the district
authorities. The daily labor of such prisoners is
sot to exceed ten hours, and the work is to bo vol
untary. Loudon, Oct. 1 Special to New York Times 1 -
The result of the Cabinet council yesterday, accord
ing to the London Times. U further postpone
ment of action by the Ministry in regard to infl
ation. The delay cannot bi of long duration."
The tone of the 'Times itself yesterday shows th tt
the government must yield to public sentiment.
Another letter from Bulwer this morning to that
paper on the conclusive duty of England as to tho
crisis, declares, as historical facts, that if, when
the Czar Nicholas told Sir Hamilton Seymour that
lie meditated marching his troops to tha Prinoiu iU
ties, England had firmly protested, he would not
have taken that step; and that if she had protested
against Napoleon ill undertaking tha war in the
same manner, be would not have commenced it.
Bulwer, therefore deprecates the Ministerial p licy
of waiting lor good opportunities which imy never
arrive.
The weak point of the defence of Paris, which
the Germans rely upon carrying promptly, are the
heights of Sceaux, which approach the forts within
4000 paces, the distance between the torts and
the city being 1500 paces more, and the gap on the
western side, north and south of Fort Mont
Valerian.
I recommended you the other day to place no re
liance on the statements that Hussia was arming.
GortschakolTs policy is to keep Hussia out of the
war at present. We have now unoliicial contradic
tion of the statement that Uussia is preparing for
war. The rumor of the purchase of ironclads ia
the United States is also denied.
The Mtmiteur replying to Prussian reports about
insubordination and shooting of members of the
Garde Mobile, publishes accounts of mutinies
among the Baden regiments at Versailles and the
shooting of German soldiers. The report of French
victories near Versailles is tlatly contradicted by
the Prussian organs, and the latest report of the
taking of Versailles by the French is characterized
by the Germans as a wholesale invention.
London, Oct. 2. The Germans before Paris are
probably receiving their siege train to-day. The
heavy guns used at Toul do not form part of it, as
they have been sent to another destination. The
restoration of bridges and tunnels on the German
lines of communluation is nearly completed, and
the royal headquarters will soon be removed to a
point nearer the city walls.
The King of Prussia has sent 5000 thalers for the
relief of the inhabitants of Strasburg.
The Echo dxt Nord of Lille reports that the Duke
ot Nassau and his secretary were shot and killed
by sharpshooters, while'passiug through the country
in a carriage.
The siege of Soissons continues and sorties of the
garrison have been repulsed by the Uandburg,
Waldenburg and Frankfort landwehr and the 131b.
corps. The French have asked for a truce, to bury
their dead. The German loss has been trifling.
. .The Germans took 170 guns, valued at 2)0,000
francs; property in bank, valued at $8,000,010
francs, and an Immense quantity of munition and
clothing.
There are now 150,000 French prisoners In Ger
many. Tocns, Oct. 2, morning An engagement is now
going on near St. Germain, on the road to Beau vois.
It was reported at Kvreux yesterday that 4000
Prussians had occupied Xantes.
The besiegers have hitherto kept themselves
carefully beyond the range of the guns on the walls
of the capital, and the defenders are impatient at
their Inactivity.
The commander of Fort d'lvry declares that he
will not surrender the fort on any terms.
The National Guard now in the service at Parii
numbers 375,000 men, and this immense force rap
idly consumes the supply of food on hand.
In the battle on September 23, 8000 Prussians
were engaged.
A dispatch from Toul says that for three days
cannonading has been peard in the direction of
Ppnt-a-Mousson. It was reported that General
Bourbakl had made a successful sortie from Metz,
and that the Prussian loss in killed was very heavy.
It is understood that the National Guard of Mot
will undertake to defend the place If Bazalne suc
ceeds in cutting his way out.
Toms, Oct. 2 General Uhrich, the heroic com
mander of Strasburg, arrived here last night, and
was met at the city gates by the Ministers aud an
immensa crowd of people, and escorted to the
Archepiscopal palace, where he was Installed as a
public guest, lie was repeatedly cheered by the
people, and on reaching the palace made a brief
speech, returning thanks to the Miuisters and peo
ple for the warmth of his reception. Minister Cre
mieux replied to the General with eloquent words
of praise for his courageous defence of Stasburg.
General Uhrich will receive a grand ovation to
morrow. Bkvork Metz, Oct. 1, evening Special dls-
fiatch to the New York Tribune. Last night,
arge masses of cavalry of the seventh corps were
thrown northward from Conrcellea to reinforce the
first corps at St. Barbe and the artillery. The first
corps artillery advanced from St. Barbe to Noise
ville, to meet the enemy's offensive northeastward
movement, and as Bazalne withdrew to-day, the
cavalry will partly be used northeast and west of
Tbiouvllle, to sweep the villages hitherto un
scathed, and clear them of provisions, in reprisal
tor the recent seizureof German supply trains.
The people everywhere in the northeastern de
partments are unfavorable to guerilla warfare, and
Lave been advised by the Tours government that
no levy en masse will take place in the rear of the
German armies.
The mayor of Nolseville has liberated German
prisoners brought in by the peasants.
The people of Point-a-Mouason have been fined
200,000 francs for the attempted assassination in the
streets oi a lieutenant and corporal.
There is great scarcity of salt in Metz.
The cholera is ruging among the German troops
at Chalons, and malignant typhus at Hbeiius.. The
infected districts are surrounded by a sanitary cor
don. The sullerlng garrison comprises only a few
thousand men.
Bitfcche made a heavy sortie yesterday afteraoon
and another to-day, but both, were repulsed.
The railway around Meti, from Keullly to Pont-a-Moumon
is completed, but the trains are few aud
far between.
Stba6bub0, Oct. 1 Special to the New York
Tribune. The destruction everywhere is awful,
aud nianv entire streets are in ruina. The cathe
dral is not seriously damaged. The roof of the nave
is burned otf and the windows are broken, but the
interior is almost untouched. The spire has been
hit in tevtral jiHces. The fortifications are uj
lorger tensMe, and the brecbeii Bre nilte prac
tirntile for rtotluing.
Tbe nufferlrig ot the poopl 3 Is beyond d?rlpinn.
Trie number of civilians wounded is at. least 3'HV,
a large iTportlon oi whom are women and chil
dren. The feeling against the Germans is very bit
ter, especially aniung the poorer classes of Catha
lir. Tlie rich, mostly Protestant, accept annexa
tion. Tbe garrison numbers 8000 men. The rules
are Mrip gent. No newspapers are allowed to b)
published, and the people have all to be in doors
by 9 T. M.
Paris, Sept. 24 -Special to the New York Tri
bune. The government Is unanimous ajriinit
peace. The party which was ready to accept the
dismantling of Metz and Strasburg, finding that
the Prussians refuse these conditions, now support
tbe war. The National Guards man the rtbuptrtx:
the men are posted at the angles and bastions, and
the reserves of tbe Mobiles and National Guard
occupy tbe centre of tnem. The reserves are al
ways under arms outside the gates, and between
the forts and ramparts troops and artillery are
massed, and the forts are well garrisoned.
The inventorof the ursinl bombs employs seve
ral men in constructing internal machines. It is
admitted that a great portion of the city can be
reached by theenemy's tire, without taking the forts.
Minister Vashbnrrw said csterday that ho proba
bly would not loave the city. The diplomatic corps
meets to arrange for joint action. Mr. Washburne
has called on the government to express sympttliy,
nd legal dless of red tai lie went to the llatei da
Ville instead of the foreign tl'.ice, shook hands all
round and withdrew.
Parts is divided into three zones, paying respec
tively twelve an4 !'orty-throe per cent, insurance
against lotsee by bombardment. Spies are arrested
every hour. The government endeavors to pre
vent a collision between the moderates and ultras,
but jield to the latter. Five Englishmen attempted
yesterday to get o:it with passports, but they ware
arrested in the French lines aud sent back.
Paris, Sept. 24 Special to New York Tri
bune. Victories are reported daily, and as oftan
contradict ed.
Some of the papers discovered in the Tuileries
are published; among them is a letter from Jeeker
to Comte, in winch be says that Morny ha I prem
ised to get the American government to pay hi
claims, on condition of receiving thirty per cent, of
the profits. A letter signed by Persiguy compHins
that an employe in the Cabinet Xoir is in want,
and ought to be given money to prevent his let:ing
out secrets.
A letter from the Queen of Holland tells Napo
leon that, if ho does not interfere in Garin-uiy. his
dynasty will sutler. An undated note of tho Km
peror says-' "If France boldly places itself on tin)
terrace of nationalities, it is necessary to prove
that Belgian nationality does not exist. The Cttd
ret of Berlin seems ready to enter Into negotia
tion)', and it would be well to negotiate a secret act
which would satisfy both parties. TbU act wan! 1
prove a double advantage of compromising Prti-sU
and of being lor her a pledge of the sincerity of the
Kmperor."
The note then goes on to say that it is necessary
to dissipate the apprehensions ot Prussia; an act is
wanted, and one which would consist ot tha regu
lation of the ulterior fate of Belgium, in convert
with Prussia, which would provo at Berlin that the
Kmperor desires an extension as necessary to
France. Since the events which have taken pltej
in Germany, it ia at least a relative certainty tint
the Prussian government would not object to our
aggrandiemeot toward the nortu.
The diplomatic corps resolved to 4uake an at
tempt to communicate with Bismarck, to ask for
tweuty-lour hours' notice before the bombardment
commences, and to obtain permission to leave the
city. A bouse near Minister Washburne's residence,
and flying t lie American llag, was gutted to-diy
btcause it was not occupied.
KAPOLEON.
How He Looks Itnmom oi His Return to
France.
A German correspondent writes from Frankfort,
September 13:
The probability of Napoleon returning to France,
and being reinstated upon the throne, grows stronger
daily. The German press look with suspicion upon
imperial honors still being paid to the prisoner uc
WUhelrashohe. The Prussian otllclil Staatv Anzeiqe.r
announces that it is true that Napoleon sought dea. ti
in the lighting of the 1st or September, and fought
on foot from 8 o'clock in the morning until 3 in tlie
aiternoon ; and we all know that nothing can gain
the 8) nipathy of the world for an expiring man like
bravery shown. The feeling of hate once Hln-wu in
Germany against Napoleon has turned to pity, and
in many cases to amusement.
The rumors currently reported, and believed by
the people, are to the eil'ect that Napoleon will only
remain at Wilhelmshohe until the German army
shall have entered Paris; that then he will return
thither, and, according as circumstances permit,
either seize the reins of government himself, or abdi
cate In favor of LIB son. Only when the whole Gov
ernment machinery Is fairly in wonting order will
peace be concluded. Prussia Will not, these reports
say, recognize the republic, and so far the latter's
addresses have fallen coldly upon Germany. The
King of Prussia, it is said, still acknowledges tha
legality of the plebiacite, by virtue of which, the voice
oi the people, Napoleon is still Emperor of the
French. Nothing else can explain the honors paid
to Napoleon on his Journey to Wilhelmshohe.
Paul Llndau describes, in a Vienua paper, the
fallen Emperor's present appearance as an "old de
caying man; spare, gray hair, which lay on tue
crown as If rumpled by despair. The curl belore
his ears had disappeared, and the historical mous
tache, with the impudent waxed ends, hung loosely
down over the corners or tbe mouth. Hilr and
beard were ever the only things which gave charac
ter to Napoleou's face ; they gave him, in their best
condition, a certain fulness of expression. And
now they are wild. Think for a moment of
a well-known beauty whom you find again
as a reduced watering-place coquette. A
similar feeling overcame me, only somewhat more
tragkal. Napoleon's physiognomy Is either capable
of suppressing the expression or every reeling, or,
what is more probable, It is no longer cupible ol the
expression of feeling. Not a line of his (ace was
altered as he returned the military greetlug. He
looked vacantly now to the right and now to the
left; what or whom he saw could not be said. Ills
face remained leaden and stln. as if every human
feeling bad long left his soul. It bore an expression
of the greatest apathy, almost to terror. It produced
an icy cold in me. He thanked the few who met
him mechanically, automatically; his movements
were as lifeless as the muscles or his face." ThU
picture refers to the dav after bis arrival in Wil
helmshohe; MARINE TELEGRAPH.
