Here s nnd Frnra of a Parisian.
The following passages are from a private
letter just received from Paris, from a merchant
there who bad but lately retnrned on a vlsli to
Paris, his native city, from this country whan
the war broke out. His letter is interesting, as
it puts in a few words the dillisulties which
threaten the Republic should il outlive the war:
Pa his, Sept. 10. In presence of the succeed
ing disastrous reverses brought upon our armies
ly the carelessness of onrGovernment, together
Vith the incapacity of most of our chief oilicers,
Lave decided to remain in Franco until the
war is over, judging that In the critical stale o(
things every man must perform his dutv by
giving the help he is capable of to the defense
i.f Lis country.
This war, iny dear friend, has Veu from the
beginning an awful butchery. 0;ir soldiers,
who did not number bfiyoud"00,0)0, have had
to contend with a force from five to ten times
their superior, and sheltered most of the time
i.hder wood. It would take too long to explain
the incapacity and heedlessness of our govern
ment, but all I can tell is that from the revela
tions coming successively out, Ui only sound
conclusion is that France was 6oli out before
the war commenced.
The proclamation of the republic was gre.it,
r.nd caused a real joy to almost the entire com
munity, and I hope that it will be able to esta
blish itself on a solid and wound basis, notwith
standing the ferments of discord Inherited from
the deceased Government, and amongst which
the division of classes aud the antipathy of each
rlass to the other respcctivelr form one of the
capital elements that would. Impede the success
of the republic. Anil yet it is the only Govern
ment capable of restoring the nation to its
former morality, activity, intelligence, and
strength.
I Bh.&ll do mv dnty on Ihe "ramparts" of
Paris, and, if not killed, shall quit France for
the United States a few days after peace is made
, with Prussia, on whom I hope the neutral pow
ers will weigh to bring her to reasonable and
honorable terms. England plays as usuul a very
despicable Vo V in this affair.
VIOLATED NEUTRALITY".
Htlzttrr of lh Nleaoirr Hornet Tar Altexed
Violation of Ihe Neutrality l.nwa.
Webster and Craig, the counsel for the
Spanish Government, having through their
agents obtaiued such information as warranted
the belief that they could compass the seizure
and detention of the Hornet, filed a libel against
Ler in the United States District Court, seeking
her condemnation for nn alleged attempt to
violate the neutrality laws.
The atlidavlt on which the libel Is based alleges
that the Hornet was titled out to aid the Cuuau
revolutionists with arms, munitions and stores,
and to cruise against Spanish commerce.
District Attorney Davis declines to give the
name of the person making the atlidavlt. On
the strength of the libel, a monition against the
vessel, commanding her seizure, was duly issued
by Marshal Sharpe, and armed with the docu
ments Deputy Marshals Crewley and Robinson
proceeded last evening to the foot of Twelfth
ftreet. East river, where the Hornet wae lying,
ut off the Novelty Works, and quietly took
possession of hei, no resistance being offered by
Captain Jones, who commands the vessel, he
simply expressing surprise at the seizure. No
arms, ammunition, or stores were found on
board the vessel, nor any persons other than
the officers and ere w,who number about twenty.
The deputy marshals placed keepers in charge
of the vessel aud returned to the Marshal's
cilice.
The affidavit mentioned recites that the Hor
net was to receive arms, ammunition and stores
from vessels which would proceed down the bay
.nd tiansfer them to the Hornet near Sandy
Hook, as was done when the Hornet previously
departed for Cuba.
The libel is filed on behalf of the Spanish
Government. The answer of claimants will
probably be filed in a lew days -V. Y. Com-

l.'ennan and Auierlrna Soldier Compared.
A correspondent of the New York Keeniruj Mail
writes: Owing- to the tremendous amount ofjtrans
j.ortation of war material which taxes tue capacities
1 these few tiernian railroads to tlie ufnost, we
were obliged to be at the depot an boar belore the
train started in order to make Bare of a seat and a
ticket. A battalion of the th East Prussian Regi
ment stood in line, waiting for the cars which were
to carry them to the front. The joses aud running
remarks which everywhere serve to paw the time
were hereof quite another sort than those of any
American regiment in our own war.
The plain and unmistakable duTerence between
republic and monarchy betray itself now her
quicker than In the conversations of these gather
ings of the bone anr mus:le of the nation. It la
also true that while these patient Oerman heroes
betray none of the enterprise and independent
thought of America s great army, they are also
iuore orderly, more peace-loving, and more conside
rate of the comfort and rights or others. To a tall
oitlcer with magnificent form: "Do you expect to
have an opportunity to f ght V "Yes; 1 bilieve the
trench will make their best flght before Paris; tliey
aro a mad, ignorant, arrogant people, and because
their language i so deuced easy that It has became
the world language, they think they are also the
rulers of the earth.''
But they cau't hold out long against the troops
which jonbrlrg against them, and a siege will be
ti e ruin of their beautiful city."
Ttity don t reason. A Frenchman does what hit
I.akfaious lead hliu into, and then afterwards tries to
lesson b'mself and tle world into believing that be
bus cone right. They will gladly sacri ace several
thousand of their countrymen in order to kill as
many more of ours. W hether It will amount to
anything or not they never take into consideration."
What tub Wak Costs. The New York fUprti
at last evening gives an idea of Associated Press en
terprise In the following paragraph :
" In two months of the present French and Prus
sian war the Associated Press and four of the Ne w
York city members have paid the Cable companies,
Trench and Anglo-American, now combined into
one, 1 100,000 for general and special telegrams pass
ing over the cable wires. The expense in Europe
have been from one-fourth to one-third of this sum,
in addition to the above. Those who pay (our cents
for a newspaper will see that it costs something to
ids ke a newspaper In these days, 't he wires have
vow readied most of tbe West India Islands, and

KED RIVER.
HrlRM of Terror nt H'lonlpen.
A correspondent of the St. Paul 1'res thin
writes In relation to the reported now troubles
that have arisen in the Territory of Man't'ilu:
"The political complications in the Red Kivcr
settlements seem to be deepening every day,
and it now bids iair to turn out that lat win
ter's proceedings were but the opening acts of
the drama. A spirit of vcogenuce seems to
pervade the Canadian ranks, and, from present
indications, Governor Archibald seems to be
powerless in his efforts to restore orJcr and
maintain peace. No security exists for life or
property. Any scalawag having a private pique
against any person has but to point him out to
the Canadian mob, and state that he was a Kiel
sympathizer, and he is, without further in
quiry, made the victim of the most wicked
nf-faii;t?.
"There seems now to be two parties in the
fcttlement, viz.: tbe Hudson Bav Compauy and
Governor Archibald, supported" by the truly
loyal people, who are intent on preserving
peace; the Canadian part', led by Dr. Schultz,
who ecern determined on vengeance first, and
next, to drive Governor Archibald out of the
country, who, they claim, is a Lower Canada
appointee and partisan; then to break up the
Hudson Hay Company's Influence, destroy their
trade, and drive them from the county; then,
by pursuing a course of petty tyranny, drive out
all the ball-breeds; and lastly, establish a Cana
dian paradise, with Dr. Schultz at the head,
guarded by seraphim acd cherubim. But some
adventurous Yankee should step in, disturb
their dreaui, aDd give them the right man.
"Dr. Sebultz has already commenced tbe
publication of a Paul Pry sheet, singlog the
song of the defunct 'Nor' Wester,' and points
sullicicntly clear to his pet schemes. Some
copies of this sheet are sent to you herewith.
"What the half-breeds intend doing I am un
able to even guess at, but indications point to
trouble.
"In reference to the Goulet trasredr bat little
can be learned. Major II W. Robinson, re
cognizing the deceased as an American citizen,
caused 6earch to be made for his body, which,
was found shortly after, having eunk when he
reached deep water, quite near 6hore. One of
the men who helped to recover the body is now
here, and states positively that the cuts and
bruises on his right temple indicate that he
was knocked senseless with 6toncs while trying
to save bimsolf by swimming.
"The reign of terror which exists there is ap
parent from the fact that, at tbo coroner's ln
qucht, not one person could be found who dared
to testify to the facts, and that, upon examina
tion, the physicians, consulting their own per
sonal safety, failed to find any murks of vio
lence on the body!
"The American Consul was threatened with
personal violeuce because he dared to iustltute
search for the body, and caused tbo rites of
burial ceremony to be performed.
4 Furthermore, a Canadian Vigilance Com
mittee has been formed for the purpose of car
rying out the projects of private vengeance
entertained by the Schultz party, and they
openly declare that no American citizen shall
live in Winnipeg or the Northwest territory."
VENEZUELA.
Trlutuidi of Ihe Re volution Settlement of the
Holland Uillicully.
Porto Caueli.o, Sept. 12. After a long
struggle, the revolution seems to be at length
drawing to a close. With the exception of
Maracaibo and Coro, the whole country has
given in its adhesion to the Government of Guz
man Blanco, which has also been recognized by
the foreign ministers In Venezuela; and nothing
is now left for tbo party in power to accomplish
in completion of their work, but to bring these
two places into subjection to the authority of
the central power at Caraceas. To accomplish
this, a naval and military expedition, consisting
of three armed schooners and several hundred
men, fitted out at this place under the personal
direction of Guzman Blanco, assisted bv General
Pulgar, is about to be despatched to Maracaibo
in aid of the forces now operating against that
town.
The difiiculty with the Government of Hol
land has been settled, the Dutch steamer Hon
lleur and the echooner Sarah having been de
livered up by the Venezuelan Government
which has agreed to make full indemnity for
the loFses sustained through the seizure and
detention of those vessels. The Government
has declined, however, to continue la diploma
tic intercourse with Holland.
A French war steamer, the Talisman, has just
visited Porto Cabello. She reports having cap
tured a German brig from Hamburg, bound for
Curacoa. Her prize was taken to the island pf
Martinique.
Business continues comparatively dull, owing
to the war In Europe. Several German vessels
are detained here, although cargoes are ready
for them; but a few French ships laden with
coffee and other products have sailed for Bor
deaux and Havre.

lector Anthony, of Kansas, relative to the arrest
of John Speer, ex-Collector of that State, and of
John Van Horn and W. W. Barrick, bis deputy
collectors, on tbe charge of conspiracy to delraud
the revenue and for the embezzlement of Govern
ment money. Speer was removed from oilloe in
The Revenue Bureau obtained evidence, some
months since, that led it to suspect that Speer had
not condui'tcd bis emce properly, and therefore
ordered a rigid and scarvbirg investigation to be
made. It has been one of a difficult character, em.
bracing the examination of persons and papers in
every section of the State, the order having been to
leave no stone unturned In connection with the
matter.
On Tuesday, September 20, this investigation was
concluded, and It showed the amount or 8 peer's
deficit to be about! loo.imo. In accordance with the
instructions from the Commissioner, Collector An

The passion with which the French soldier
respects his flag Is vividly revealed in a story of
Sedan. At the moment of capitulation, a cap
tain, a lieutenant of Zouaves, and a brave ser
geant, resolved that the flag which had been
left in their Keeping should loot iaii into tne
bands of the Prussians. So they took the em
blem of France to pieces, one concealing the
banner nnder his uniform, the other putting
tbe balls Into his pocket, and tbe third keeping
the eagle. After tbe capitulation. It was agreed
that all tbe relics should be confided to the care
of tbe sergeant, who, being an Alsaclan, could
speak German. The brave sergeant then man
aged to escape from his captors, to don tbe
gulfe oi a peasant, and to obtain a basket, in
which he placed the memorials of French glory.
He then covered the precious relics with a mass

THE PAlllEX FXPEP1T.0X.
The Fortheonlnc Oltlrlal Report.
A correspondent of the lHoston Adir!ij"r
gives the following as the principal points
of i be otllclal report, now preparing, of the sur
veying expedition which was sent out by our
G eminent, under Commander T.O. Selfridge,
to ascertain t whether nn intcroceanic canal
acroFS iLe Isibmus of Darien was practicable.
The expedition sailed from New York last
January. The i-urvey was begun at Caledonia
by in tbe latter part of February. This bay is
of easy access, and perfectly protected from ,
l ortbein winds and heavy seas. There are but 1
two other harbors on the Atlantic coast of the
Isthmus which are adapted to the terminus of a
canal tbe Gulf of San Bias aud the Gulf of
Uroba or Darien. The surveyors lound the
country covered with a primeval forest. They
would have been obliged to cut their way
slowly and with great labor, through dense un
derbrush, guided by the compass, as even the
eky would be scarcely visible had not the com
mander determined to follow the different
water-courses. These gave, of course, the
lowest level of the country, and If any passes
through tbe mountain rid ire existed they would
lead to them. Keconnoissances with the baro
meter were made uo all the streams emptying
Into Caledonia Bay, including the Aglamate,
Aglazenigua, and Washington rivers. While
these were in progress a reconnoissance in
force was made over the mountains to the
Pacific slope, down the Sucubtl, until the vil
lnces of the mountain Indians, the Sucubti
tribe, were reached.
These preliminary explorations failed to show
signs oi a raps, and the line up the Aglazenigua
river, tuence over tne mountains, giving the
lewest average level, was selected as the oae to
be surveyed. A lino of levels was carried from
the sea over tbe dividing range at an altitude of
K'tJO icet and down to the Sucubtl at a point
about three miles below its sources, where an
alllinde of 500 feet, was evidence sufficient that
no pate below that altitude existed in the divide.
This river with its tributaries, the Napsati and
the Asnati, drain a large area of country, of
which its bed must necessarily represent the
loweot level. Careful observations with the
mercurial barometer were made down the Su
cubti to Its junction with tbo Cbucunagua, at
wbich was found an altitude of 159 feet. Ten
miles down the Chucunagua an altitude of 91)
feet was obtained.
All hope of finding a pass was abandoned, and
tbe only remaining question was what length of
tunnel would no necessary, it was found that
a tunnel of 10 miles, from an altitude of 200 feet
on tbe Atlantic slope to a corresponding point
of the Pacific slope, beneath the heights of the
Sucubti, would be needed. Another survey in
the vicinity Df the Sasserdl eiver, 10 miles north
of the previous surveys, showed that a tunnel
of eight miles would be sulllclent by that route.
Still another route was surveyed from the Gulf
of San Bias, where the Isthmus is but 30 miles
wide, ihe line of levels was carried up the
Mandinga, the largest river emptying into the
Atlantic between the Chagres and the Atrato,
and crossed the divide at an altitude of 1100
feet. It was continued in a S. S. E. direction
down the Pacific slope, till at a distance ran by
level of 23 miles from the sea. it met at the
junction of theVfarmonl aud San Jose rivers, with
tha InruAV nf V. TTaIIui, In Kill V, ...!
neers ran a line of levels from the Pacific up
tne .iarmoni to mis point.
The result showed a mountain area of ten
miles that would require to be tunnelled. The
other portions of this route present the most
favorable aspects. The southern portion of the
isthmus still remains to bo explored. The
Government propose to continue these surveys
the cominp season, which will be carried np the
valley of the Tuyra, across the divide to the
Cacarica Lake, not far from the mouth of the
Atrato. This region was visited by Hellert, an
experienced German traveller, in 1815, who
reported tbe divide not over 200 feet; but this
is very untrustworthy, as he lost his instru
ments before it was reached. The expedition
returned to New York In July.
A Washington despatch gives the following
upon this subject:
Commander Selfrldge, who has been here for
several days in consultation with the naval au
thorities about renewing bis explorations of the
Darien routes for a canal across the Isthmus,
left to-night for the North. He will return
about the middle of November to receive his
final instructions, and will sail as soon there
after as the necessary arrangements can be
completed. Tbe composition of the expedition
will be about the same as lat year.
Tbe Nipslc is now on her way from tho fish
ing grounds to the Washington Navy Yard, to
be made ready for this service. Commander
Selfrldge yet entertains hopes that he may dis
cover a practicable route, although the general
opinion of the members of his expedition is un
favorable. Captain Shufeldt, commanding the
Teh uan tepee expedition, will sail in the Kansas
eaaly next week, and will probably touch at
vera uruz on nis way.
A SEW DRAMATIC ENTERTAIN tf O T.
Tar co Eailnsr Prussian.
The AUgeuieine Ztitung, a paper of celebrity
and respectability, publishes tbe following in a
letter from Baron von Maltzan, a responsible
oincer:
When, shortly before the last catastrophe,
MacMabon s army remained some time in
Kheims. the French paper reported from that
place that the Turcot bad contributed much to
the amusement of the town aud camp by a
pantomimic tolo repreren ation entitled Manger
du Prutnlen. I cannot ear what histrionic
skill the Turcos showed on this occasion, but
l recognize tne piece as a new version of the
Mangtr de I'AutrichUn, which I hd the
privilege of witnessing iu 1859. This "eating"
is by no means tiguiatixe; tbe performance
which so delights "the nion civilized people in
the world" is really a representation ef canni
balism. In tbe first moment, every man of ordi
nary education or feeling revolts at such a spec
tacle, but If he is able to overcome kls disgust
he cannot bat wonder at tbe talent of the Afri
can In portraying the cannibal scene. The
victim to be devoured, who on the present oc
casion Is a Prussian. Is represented as standing
before the Turco aud in his power. The ges
tures of the latter are borrowed from the
panther, and are intenied to depict the move
ments of that animal in attacking and devouring
its living prey.
Closely imitating his noble prototype, the
Turco springs, often Irom a considerable dis
tance, onlhls victim, whom he seizes with his
bands (or claws), strangles, aud throws to the
ground. He next bites the imaginary Prussian
in the neck to kill bim completely, then goes
through the pautomlme of tearing off the skin,
twisting and winding himself with bestial
savagery around tbe victim's body, all the time
utteriDg frightful howls. The finale Is the de
vouring process; bis inouib foams with fury
and ravenousness: he tear open the body and
limbs to seek the fattest portions, and turns the
carcase over that no tit-bit may escape him. All
this is so naturally represented that it is diffi
cult to resibt the conviction that we have not
before our eyes a strangled and half-devoured
msn. - .
T I have been assured by medical practitioners
that If the Turco had studied anatomy he could
not represent with more pictorial accuracy the
devouring of tbe various parts of tbe body. ' If
be meets with bones be imitates the crunching
noise wonderfully with bis throat and palate,
and when he cornea to the fleshy parts, the
rapidity and gusto with which he masticates
present it at once to the spectator. The motions
of the teeth, jaws, and throat are always ana
tomically correct.
The man is at last supposed to be devoured.
The Turco rUes like a ealed beast of prey, ex
presses bis satisfaction by a sort of mewing,
wbich is followed by a growl Indicative of his
readiness to eat np more Prussians if they are
foithcoming, and the elegant and edifying per
foimance is finished

an equitable remedy; tbe common law remedv
of an action for damages was inadequate, and
tbe equitable remedy of a mandamus was im
practicable. "This, said Judge Ludlow, "was
ue result oi a glaring aeicct ot the Kcglstry

doubt as to the constitutionality of the act of
Congress requiring the appointment of election
watchers.
To Ihe Election Officer.
The Court irave the following answers to Ques
tions put them lor the ealdance of election
officers:
The registry is prima facie evidence of the
residence of a voter, but removal from the dis
trict within ten days of the election disfranchises
the registered citizen, and if hla vote be chal
lenged for non-residence parol evidence may be
taken at the poll.
livery citizen of foreign birth shall produce
at the poll his certificate of naturalization, to
b3 stamped "voted," unless he shall have been
a resident of the division for ten years, In which
case he is not required to produce his cer
tificate. Arinilaolon to tho Bar.

The Klrlimond Con I Wharves Question A Dec-Lion
In Favor of tbe meaara. Audenreld.
Supreme Court at Shi Prius.
In the case ef Audenreid vs. The Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company, the following
oecision nas ueen rcnaerea. it will oe remem
bered that the railroad company refused to ex
tend to the plaintiffs the same wharfage as was
allowed to other shippers, and the proceedings
were lnstuuiea in mis court tor tne purpose of
obtaining redress for the wrong. An injunc
tion was awarded to restrain the defendants
from depriviBg plaintiffs of their wharfae. and
now plaintiffs complain that tho injunction was
not compiled with by defendants. After an in
vestigation of this complaint Judge Read this
morning gave the following opinion:
1 have read carefully all the testimony taken
before the master, under the order of the 1st of
September last, the points indicated by the de
fendants' couneel, as to which the master was
requested to report his conclusions of fact, and
Die report of the master. The report is very
clear aud lucid and gives an accurate and dis
tinct view of the facts elicited by the evidence.
I nave, nowever, a very simple question to de
cide. Was there a .breach of the injunction?
I am of opinion that under the terms of the in
junction tbe plaintiffs were entitled to an allot
ment ot wnart room amounting to wou tone.
and such allotments should have been made by
tne ueienaants.
Tbe defendants made an allotment of 4750
tons of wharf room as rated on tho company's
books, or a measurement capacity of a little
over 4500 tons, or a practical capacity of 3500
tons, wbich the defendants refused In any way
to increase. There was and is,therefore,a direct
breach of tbe injunction.
With regard to the fines imposed on the plain
tiffs, if tbey were the results of the defendants'
breach of the injunction, then they should be
tefunded. And this, upon the evidence and the
report of the master, I am unable to decide,
and it must be left for future adjustment.
Tbe costs of the reference are to be borne and
paid equally by the parties.
The following is the decree entered:
"In tbe Supreme Court of PennsvWaoia in and for ths
Kastern District. Aadenried vs. Philadelphia and
Reading Kailruad Company. Equity. January Term,
170. No. 60.
"And now, October 8, 1870, the Court adjudge that the
injunction as heretofore directed by tbe order of 29th
April. 1870, baa not hoen complied with by tbe defendants,
and that the plain ti its are entitled to at least t!5U torn or
wharf room on tbe wharves of th defendants at Port
Uivbmonii; ad tbe Court do now order that the said
defendants do forthwith furnish to the said elaintirts
additional wharf room equal to two thousand two hundred
tons, the dillerence between the amount already fur
nished and that now ordered to be the rurtitful share of
tbe plaintiffs, and that the costs of the reference to th
niasier ue eijuauy uiviueu ueiweuu tug pu-uus.
One of the captured French mitrailleuses

The Germans are just now saying to each

The German soldiers have a joke about the
battle of Mars-la-Tour." They call it the battle
of ''Marach Jietour." If Marsvh lletour means
anything, it means a march backwards.
The reply of Abd-el-Kadcr to Count BiS'
rnarck. declining the position offered him in the
Prussian army, and which was published in tae
Qaulois of Paris, is formally declared to be a
forgery, Count Bismarck not having solicited
the services of the Desert Chief.
When the loud shouts of the German sol
diers proclaimed the German victory at Seden.
a Prussian soldier of herculean frame, who lay
on the fronnd mortallv wounded and nnnnn.
scions, suddenly revived, and, comprehending
tbe situation, by a superhuman exertion rose
bolt upright and joined his voice to those of his
comrades, and then as suddenly sank down
again, falling over the body of a dead French
man, with tbe last life-blood trushinir from a
wound In his side.
Lately an Englishman who served with the
Germans In the campaign of 18tit5 made a
friendly call on General von Moltke at that vete
ran's headquarters. In the course of the con
versation he remarked In a sympathizing tone:
"This campaign will probably Injure your
health, General." "Ob,'r replied Von Moltke,
with a sly twinkle of the eve and his usual half
smile, "we can stand anything as long as we
are young, you know." The General U seventy
two years old.

There is a COOd business demand for mnnv In

pf an early softening, though the improvement
Is not yet sufficiently developed to Justify us in
marking down the regular rates. Call loans are
in good request in connection with speculative
operations at the Stock Board, and the rates
are quite steady at ftVTfffOV per cent, on Gov
