yesterday afternoon the question, "Is it the
duty of Protestants to insist upon the reading
of the sacr' d Scriptures in our public schools?"
y was debated at considerable length, a number
or the members of the association taking part
V in the discussion. The association theu re
solved itself into a conversational meeting
on Sabbat h-Bthool instruction, Sabbath
school literature, and family piety. The
evening session consisted of a discussion on
the subject of temperance, and a number of
the local preachers gave their experience and
accounts of the work performed by them in
the temperance cause. After several short
addresses had been made, a benediction was
pronounced, and the convention adjourned
to meet at Indianapolis next October.

C05S1 1 T UT10NAL HE FOR 31 .
Meeting of ths 1,'nlan I.enane.
In accoi dance with a Ions-time avowed
dfnire to agitate the question of conntltu
tiotial reform, the members of the Union
League or Philadelphia assembled In special meet
ing at their house on Broad street lant evening.
Scarcely any of tho prominent members were
ai'PPTir, ann punctually hi eiaot o ciock iioh. morion
McMlrhael, president of that most Influential
oipRiiizptioii, called the meeting to order, Faying:
Ocntloncn ot the Union league: rue board or
dirr ctors have convened this meeting, an the notice
publihhed in the daily journal, and sent t each of
j ou through the tott, bus informed you, "for the
purpose of considering a proposed application to
the Le gislattire tor tbo call of a convention to
enierd the constitution of Pennsylvania." They
have been moved to take this action not only be
caufe their own convictions of duty prompted them
to do so, but also because prominent citizens in
ilillercut sections of the State have urged that,
recognizing the necessity of and the public demand
for eurh a movement, an institution so favorably
ituatert to promote it as the Union League should
give to it the sanction of its indorsement, and aid it
ny on tue means in us power.
l or jonie weens past tuis snniect lias Deen unuar
discussion by the Hoard of Pir ctors, and they will
present tor your consideration this evening a pre
amble and resolutions which embody their views,
and which they trust will receive your approbation.
As I presume the; e are several gentlemen present
wl.o will address you, I shall not anticipate what
any of them may desire to say by further comment.
J hi all content myself with the declaration that I
join nioK heartily in the good work we have inau
gurated; and mat wnen it suau na crowned witn
success, as I do not doubt it will be, I shall regard
the share which our League will have had in its
cor summation a not tho least of our claims to that
liith character for patriotic effort which it has
'always been our aim to establish.
1 have now tue pleasure ot introducing Mr. (Jib-
tons, who lias been selected by the Bo:rd to pre
sent the reroiuttous.
The resolutions read by Mr. (ii boons were as
follows:
Wbereas, It is declared by the constitution of
PennFvWania that all power is inherent in tho peo
ple, and all free governments are founded on their
authority and instituted for their peace, safety and
bappint ss; and that, for the advancement of tbeso
ends, they have at all times an unalienable anil
imk feasible right to alter, rciorru or aboiieh their
government in such manner as they may think
propel ;
And whereas, i ne nigu powers eon i erred upon
the Legislative department of the government
were delegated by the people, with the full couli
deixe and expectation that they would be exercised
for the common benefit, aud that no temptations of
private gain or advantage would ever control or
influence any branch of tho hiw-ioaking power of
the State, in the execution of the sacred trust con-
tided to its management;
And whereas, J tie history or the legislation or
Pennsylvania for many years past is strongly
marked by the corruptive power of corpora
tions, seeking special favors by the tempta
tions of bribery; the franchises of the State are
bartered tor money, and our legislative halls have
olten been converted into market places, where
inn or t ant public offices have been sold to the high
est bidders by faithless and venal public servants:
vested rights have bee u threatened and assailed
for the sole purpose of extorting ransom from their
lawful proprietors, and public acts, which concern
the common welfare, are parsed or rejected with
out intelligent consideration, and tnus the safety
and happiness of the people are frequently Im
paired and imperilled by dishonest and incompe
tent representatives;
And whereas, There appears to be no other re
medy lor these monstrous aud acknowledged evils
than such weii-confidered amendments or the con
stitution of the State an will deliver the legislative
body from the temptations which continually assail
it, and improve the character of its members, by
securing the rights of minorities in all popular elec
tions; therefore
Kesoived, 1 hatttie members ot tne union Lieague
of Philadelphia, now assembled in general meet
ing, do approve and recommend tne caning ot a
convention, to be composed of delegates chosen by
the freemen of the State, for the purpose of pro
posing amendments to the constitution of Penn
sylvania. Kesoived, In order that the wlshea of the freemen
of the Commonwealth may be duly ascertained in
respect to the calling of such a convention, that ap
plication be made to the Legislature at its next ses
sion for the passage of a proper act, submitting the
question to the people for their decision at an elec
tion to be held for the special purpose on the first
Tuesday in May next, or at some other convenient
time a
Kesoived, That a committee to constat of ten per
sons, five of whom shall be taken from the body of
the League and live from the Board of Managers
of the League, he appointed for the purpose of di
recting public attention to the subject of the fore
going preamble and resolutions, with authority to
confer with any other committees that may be ap
pointed by other organizations or meetings having
the tame ends in view, and with power to take such
measures in the premises as to them may seem meet
and expedient.
In supporting the rr solutions Mr. Gibbons spoke
most eloquently, lie said:
The preamble and resolutions which are now
submitted to the action of the League were unani
mously approved, as stated, by the Hoard of Di
rectors. 1 believe they do not magnify the corrup
tion known to exist in the legislative department of
our State government. It is the inevitable result
of a system which gives to that department the
power to confer special and valuable privileges
upon one set of men and deny the like to others
who seek them for like objects equally meritorious.
Wherever such a power resides in a legislature, all
experience proves that neither those who seek nor
these who confer such favors are beyond the reach
of temptation.
The franchises of the State are secured in these
latter da j s less by considerations of a public na
ture than by means of private gain to Individuals,
and hence they have become the almost unfailing
sources of that corruption which is shaking the con
fidence of many people in the stability of popular
government. Public opinion exhausts ltd indig
nation upon those who have surrendered to the
temptations of bribery, while the managers Of cor-
1oratlons who permit the money ot their stock
iolderto be applied to such purposes escape ob
servation and punishment, aud seem to imagine
that no share of the responsibility rests upon their
shoulders. A Bounder morality teaches that they
who procure the bribe to be ottered are the first
transgressors, and are more guilty than their vic
tims, who were too human to resist it. "It must
be that ortences come, but woe to that man by whom
the o Hence comethl"
If it be right to grant the franchises of the State
for a particular purpose in one county, it is equally
right to grant them for like purposes, when re
quired, in auy other county. Or if it be right to
grant special powers and privileges to one corpora
tion, it is equally right to grant the like powers to
all others or the same character. The people are
entitled to impartial legislation, llallroad compa
nies, manufacturing companies, mining, banking,
Insurance and trust companies, and other corpora
tions, created for other purposes, have performed
and will continue to perform important services to
the (state, and are so completely interwoven with
all onr social and material wants, that .they should
be created and regulated only by grneral lixwi. Such
a reform would strike the root of the corruption
eomnlained of.
The extent to which special legislation is carried
may be seen by relerence to the pamphlet laws of
the state, xnev exnioit tne race wuicu mav urooa
biy excite some surpribe.that our vast andexpeusive
machinery for making laws huds very little em
ployment in matters which concern the public
ceuerallv. It costs, perhaps, Hundreds or thous'
uds of dollars to set it up every year, and Is then
tincloved almest exclusively in special legislation,
at an additional annual expeuseof $300,000. The laws
ef 18ti8 are printed iu a huge oetavo volume of 1414
cases: the laws or iw!) in a similar volume or iooi
ton lie
ties: me ui joiu huu w iimuiuo hi umi
baues: making a total of 4T0 pages.
Twentv-one thoueau J copies of these laws have
teen printed at the pablicexpense, and about three
uidred paces out of the whole number eootaln
all the general laws which have been passed for
the last three years. In lt&8 the Legislature passed
tl general laws and 1274 special or private act. In
1HJ it passed U general laws and I'M special or
pi ivate acts.
49 general laws, and about 1200 private or special
acts. Hundreds of these special acts relate to cor
porations; hundreds apply only to particular ooua-
lie; many oi mem reiaie to sueep, goais, uoga,
nJg. and other families of auioiatad nature m cer-
tkiii KmiithiM, aud ail vf them to jualtert whack
rould he better regulated by general and prmnent
laws, er which might bn safely left by eontltu
t lor, a I provision to the control of local authorities.
If the power cf the Legislature were restricted to
the passage of laws of a public nature, there would
be, in fact, very little for it to do. Klennlai sessions
are all that the pobllo welfare would require. We
are more likely to sutler from too much than too
little legislation. If our general elections were
biennial, instead of annual, they would come often
enough for the peace, safety, morality and happi
ness of the people, and the Chang would result in
a prodigious saving of time, health and money.
There are other subjects which woul4 neces
sarily force themselves upon the attention of a con
vention. The rights of political minorities are en
titled to respect, and should be guarded and pro
tected by the fundamental law. How this c vibe
best accomplished Is a question which la a ret ly
engaging the attention of some of the best mind in
the State. Although Mr. Ituckalew is not of my
nolltical faith, I am free to say that in my opinion
he Is entitled to great honor for his patriotic eft'arts
in this direction.
The practice of conferring political patronige
upon courts of law, whose judges are elective, Is a
flireateningevll, which is worthyof serious thought.
Our sysfm of public education is a very imperfect
one, and compares unfavorably in its result with
that of some other countries, far behind us in liberal
Ideas on subjects connected with political science.
These are matters that need not be discussod here,
but tbey are too Important to be neglected in any
revir-icn that maybe made of our State consti
tution. 1 he proposition embraced by the resolution in
volves r.o qnostirn of party politics. It contetu
1 lates nolbirg more than the ascertainment of
the will ! the freemen of the State in relation
to the ca'.l of a convention for the purpose indi
cated. It is impossible to close our eyes to the ne
c Fhify ef some popular endeavor to check corrup
tion In public places, which is confined to no party,
and has grown so bold, that it seems to challenge
the virtue of the people to an open contest for su
premacy. It is not peculiar to Pennsylvania. It Is quite as
bad In other States. Not only the Legislature of
Is'ew York, but. tbe local Judiciary of its great com
mercial capital is befouled by it, and the halls of
Congress are not free from its loathsome touch. Hut
onr duty is at home, among our own people. If we
do our part faithfully we shall unveil the old shield
of the Commonwealth, which has been so long ob
scured, and make tbe pledge of "virtue, liberty and
Independence," which our fathers inscribed upon it,
our pledge, to be kept hereafter inviolate.
Mr. Frederick Fraley, president of the Schnvlkill
Navigation Company, rose to second the resolu
tions, using the following words:
I vtry cheerfully give my support to the resolu
tions now nnder consideration. The lieoesMty for
peiiooical consideration of tbe organic law of the
State b8 been rendered so obvious by experionco,
that It is unnecessary to go into any detailed argu
ment to demonstrate it. .
The statement of the fact, that we have had three
revisions of the Constitution since the year 1770,
besides the partial changes Uiat have been ma lo
fince 1838, nnder the legislative provisions for
amendment, shows that the changes which are con
tinually going on, caused by the increase of popu
lation, tbe enlargement of material interests, "the
advance of civilization; and the conflicts of corpo
rate and individual rights, the relations of caoit il
and labor, furnish new forms for legislation, which,
if unguarded by constituonal provisions, must be left
to the omnipotent discretion of legislators.
Did we rely as they do in England on the con
current action of tho legislative and execut ve
powers for building np a constitutional system,
some of tbe evils under which we sutler might hi
mitigated, if not wholly prevented, by the addi
tional care which tho people might then take in
the selection of their public servants; but we rely
on tbe restraints ot our written constitutions to
protect us from legislative and executive encroach
ments, and we find, when it is too late, that great
rights have been sacrificed, or great wrongs done
by laws hastily and Inconsiderately passed; often,
indeed, without going through the recognized forms
for enacting statutes.
Such looseness ef legislation is a temptation to
unprincipled men to steal power or to amass wealth,
and recent experience tends to admonish us that
all ordinary vigilance is battled bv the skill of such
assailants, and that sure protection can be found
only in strong and well defined constitutional limi
tations. Evils of such magnitude beine now universally
acknowledged, the question is bow shall they bd
remedied. The existing constitution provides for
periodical changes at tbe will of two concurrent
legislative votes and ratification by the votes of the
people. But this process is attended with many
difficulties and imperfections. However crude a
proposition for amendment may be, If It passes the
first stage, it must not be In any way altered either
in its second or final consideration, and hence
amendments made in this way are of doubtful
utility.
Much the better plan is that heretofore adoptei
for the amendment of tbe constitutions of 1770 and
17!0. Conventions composed of tbe worst and bast
men ot the Stale, conservatives, theorists, radical
reformers, the advocates ot appointment to ottice
by executive action or by popular election all
meeting in council, comparing their several views,
and finally eliciting conclusions after auple debato
and careful scrutiny. The object of the present
movement in the League Is to provide by law for
the holding of such a convention; that the time
has come lor It, few if any doubt; that both the
great political parties see the necessity for It is ap
parent, in the action of their acknowledged jour
nals. The support of such a body as this to the Legisla
ture in the call for such a convention is of great
Importance. It Is identified with the important
changes which have been made in the Constitution
of the United States changes all in the direction
of human rights and the demands of an improved
social condition and civilization. Pennsylvania
needs for tbe true development of her resources
tbe enlargement of her facilities for intercourse by
railroads, canals, &c; tbe perfect education
of her people; the protection of the rights
of labor; tbe encouragement of tho introduc
tion of capital laws broad, liberal and com
prehensive, but uniform and stable. These
should be precise in their character and be pro
tected from legislative encroachment or enlarge,
ment by fixed constitutional provisions. The in
convenience of such strict limitations will be fully
compensated by the greater sanctity and security
that thus pertain to the grants of life and power
which charters will then give.
Mr. Gibbons has touched on another subject than
those hitherto embodied in our organic laws the
representation of minorities. This is a subject
worthy of tbe attention of all who value tree insti.
tutions of government or their permanency. Un
der our present systems it is partially reached by
tbe making of election districts, but this is so par
tial, and so much affected bv purely looai condt'
tions that It is practically worthless. Such repre
sentations can be readily provided for by simple
constitutional provisions, and among the many
forms that have been suggested, the members of the
proposed convention will find no difficulty In esta
blishing a rule that will test the value of such a
just recognition of what is often a full moiety of
those entitled to tne elective irancuise.
Let ua go forward then earnestly and faithfully
In this good work, when the election of members to
tbe convention is authorized; let us choose our
wisest and best citizens to represent tue city or fni
ladelphia; let us go into the work with the highest
aims lor tue public weuare, auu irom moor uav
ing such objects our good old Commonwealth will
continue to have tbe anections of her sons and the
resnect of thn world.
After Mr. Fraley bad finished, the floor was taken
bv Mr. George L. Itozby, who spoke as touows:
Mr. President The movement to secure a con
veutlon for the Introduction of such new provisions
into our State Constitution as experience has shown
to be necetsary, must receive the cordial support
of every good citizen. That in a growing
nation new conditions and new wants must
arise Is a self-evident proposition. When
we numbered three millions of people in only
thirteen States, our political system was necessa
rily less complex than now, when we have forty
millions in thirty-seven States. The vast increase
of our population both by natural growth and
foreign immgration, continually suggest new
political problems for our solution. bo
many heterogeneous elements of humanity are
cast upon our shores irom all quarters of the
world, that our utmost faculty of assimilation la
tasked to combine them in one harmonious whole.
Whilst this process la going on It should be the duty
or every citizen to guard against sucn cruoe pouu
ral action as mav arise from deficient culture, in
temperate zeal or imperfect acquiantance with
the vital principles ef the free constitutions of thsie
United States.
I have heard a speaker say, from the platform on
which vou. sir. sit. that when in Europe the re
mark had been freauentlv made to him, "that our
institutions wotked well because we had a small
regulation dispersed ever a vast extent of terrl
tory." "Wait," said these European critics, "until
your population shall have become dense; until
every walk of life shall have been crowded with
anxious competitors; until you shall no longer find
vent for the passionate, enterprising and discon
tented la the new regions of your huge domain Into
which they now daily press. When at last America
kball in point of population and competition for the
means of decent living be, a Europe in, then we
shall see the strength of your boasted institutions
tested. 1 hen we shall see if the human pnaslona
which have so otten desolated human hopes, and
overthrown many a fair political labrlo ot fluent
promise will be charmed into silence and peace."
And then the prophet cloted fettered as ha was by
European experience with the annoncemeut of
his grave distrust for our future.
We reed not accept such gloomy reasoning as a
juht fortiayal of what shall come to u. 1 ra'.her
quote It here m illustrating the axiom, that "the
price of liberty is eternal vigilance." If, under the
more complex conditions our people are assuming,
there are rot sufficient safeguards against violence
and frand in the administration of oar public af
fairs, now is the time to engraft such feature upon
our Slate compilations as may eflectuallv result
these evils. Already our sister States in the west,
profoundly conscious of Imperfection In their or
ganic laws, haveengaged in and, for tho time, per
fertcd this work.
We need so to amend our constitution that if bad
men do succeed in getting Into office and power,
thrv n ay be largely, if not. wholly, divested of
ability to do mischief. If ruffians overawe honept
men at ibe polls, or seize by force the ballot-box,
or fraudulently count tbe votes it contains for the
puipose cf senillng to the Legislat ure, or elsewliere
in public life, some tool of theirs, vile enough to do
Ibt lr bidding, we must provide in the constitution a
harrier against his indulgence of their desires.
When the representative shall have been proved
lmtotent to reward the wretch who based his
claims for remuneration upon a plentiful display of
knife and revolver at the polls, or by bursting with
brutal violence into tbe chamber where return
judges are peaceably performing their duty, then
shall one great motive lor the display or political
rt nianism re removed, r or i will no toe worst oi
lion an nature the justice to believe that it loves
cot evil for Its own sake alone.
How our legislators shall be disabled from the
remmirsien of venal crimes, and be compelled to
render bonorable service to the public for un
happily the skirts of the Pennsylvania Legislature
ere loin, btjo we aare not pronounce tnetn clean
will be determined by the convention which
is i!cw proposed. An Increase In the number
of f or legislators, as practised in New Kng-
iland, will make their services more difficult of
purchase. An oath taken previous to the occu
pancy of their official seats that they have spent no
money, nor used any Improper means to obtain
office," will exercise a restraining influence. Tha
rutlication of every bill of consequence before
final action npon It, 'and then the Insistence upon
the approval of an actual majority of the members
of the Legislature, and that upon a call of the yeai
and nays, would eiiectuauy restrict reckless and
vicious legislation.
Hut these are matters to be discussed hereafter.
ur creat want Is to secure good men for publio
life. Tor years we havo been steadily driving them
from it, and have almost made public life ignomi
nious. If our institutions are to live, this must
erase. No republic can exist If overlaid with vio
lence and fraud. God grant that the time may
come, as heretofore, when there shall alone sit in
our public halls men
'Upon whose front engraven daep,
Deliberation sits, and public care,
And princely counsel in their face
Majestic shines."
Mr. Uuzbv was succeeded bv Mr. Soeiknun,
who, Indorsing the action proposed, felt that the
( t (I v as fo difficult of accomplishment, that some
thing more than an amendment to the constitution
was wanted. Something should be done to purify
roiitics in the first stages, and this the sneaker
considered could be reached by giving suffrage t
women, and by this mean only could perversion
be prevented.
Mr. William Kotcii wistar, following jnr. speax
roan, took exception to the preamble, while agree
ing with tbe resolutions. He could not coincide
with the idea that the rights of minorities to re
presentation was the enly method to secure re
form And furtlfer, he thought that expression
should be given to the idea that an elective jud.-
cthty is a great evil,
Mr. John Price Wetherlll continued the debate,
and claimed that the meeting was called to Bho
the necessity or a convention and not to discuss
items, and advocated the resolutions as they were
written.
Colonel Francis Jordan, secretary of the com
monwealth, thought that no time should be lost iu
carrying this movement to a head. In his opinion
the sentiment of the country was already ripe for
the movement. In all preliminary action details
and partisan effort should be studiously ignored.
Colonel Jordan himself felt that a State Treasurer
rhould not be appointed as now. Legislation at the
State capital, he was prepared to affirm from his
i fficial knowledge, was a thing of the past, con
sidered as it uted to be in the early days oi pure
representation. Ko member ever gives attention
to anything hut the private bills, and public mea-
suscs are left to fall to the ground. This can only
be remedied by constitutional amendment, and nr
improvement can be expected nntil this course Is
taken.
After some participation In the debate by Messrs.
James Milliken, Jr., John Goforth and others,
ibe preamble and resolutions were read, and the
meeting adjourned. On this subject the following
letter frciu Governor Geary is of interest:
KxKCCTiVH Chamber, Harbisburo, Pa., Oct.
17.1B70 George H. ISoker, q., Secretary Union
League Dear sir: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note, inviting me to attend a
meeting of the Union League, to be held at the
League House on the 18th Inst., at 8 o'clock P. M.,
"ler the purpose of considering a proposed appli
cation to tbe Legislature for the call of a conven
tion to amend the constitution of Pennsylvania."
1 cordially commend the object for which the
meeting has been called, and notice with pleasure
that the Union League of Philadelphia has taken
theinlative In tbe preliminary discussions of so im
portant a measure, before the meeting of the Le
gislature, so as to elicit public opinion, and to give
form to the wishes of the people upon the subject.
it is generally conceded that our Commonwealth
has outgrown the constitution of 1XJ8. I hope,
therefore, tbe subject will be thoroughly discussed
by the people during the brief period prior to tho
meetirg of the next Legislature, as It is my pre
sent intention to lay my views In favor of calling a
constitutional convention before that body in uiy
forthcoming annual message.
Previousiy determined official engagements else
where, at the time indicated in your invitation, will
deprive tne of tbe pleasure of meeting with tbe
League as vou request.
Yours truly, Jno. W. Gsaby.

THE FRENCH RECENT MILITARY OPERATIONS.
VALBNCIKMNKrt, Oct. 18.
The Prussians attacked the unfortified town of
Montdidier, killed three citizens and captured 150

levied on the town, aud the Mayor and M. Durand,
a banker, were taken as hostages for payment. Tho
Wurtemburg troops have been placed under com
mando!' Ibe Grand Duke of Mecklenburg.
It Is asserted that the Emperor Napoleon has
10,000,000 francs secured In real estate, through
tbe agency of lirown liros., of New York.
The Journal of St. Petersburg says tbat Favre,
on hearing tbe Prussian conditions of peace,
through General Burnslde, thought they were rea
sonable, and their rejection la consequently unac
countable. '
Messrs. Lucon and Mlttnacht had an audience
with tbe King of Wurtemburg, aud subsequently
proceeded to Versailles. General Iloyer, with a
iiag of truce from Bazalne, bad an Interview with
Bihniarck, who has made a report of their conver
sation to the King of Prussia. The result of this
negotiation Is not yet known.
London, Oct. IS. Special to the New York
Tribune. A correspondent at Tours telegraphs
under date of October 17: "I have returned from
Blois. No engagement has taken place. The
French are daily receiving reinforcements and a
battle was expected on Tuesday on the left dank
of the river, near La Ferte St. Aubln.
. "Bourbakl arrived yesterday .at Blols, and took
command of the army. -
"The Prussians have destroyed the bridge at
Beaugency; their left having crossed tne Loire la
several Dlaces."
Lomlon. Oct. 18 Special to New York World.
Tbe negotiations at Brussels between Barnslde and
others have resulted In a total failure. The Foreign
Office was to-night informed of the failure, and
abandons an nones or settlement, and tue ootnoara
ment of Paris will commence immediately. Siege
guns were mounted yesterday at uuatiuon.
Russia demands a revision of the treaty of 1S5S.
Spirited encounters occurred on Sunday, on the
lice of tho Kouen road. The Prussian col urn a
moved np the right bank of the Seine, and ap
proached Les Pettis Andeleys. Tbe town wae oo
curled by the SHth regiment, watch, on tho ap
proach of the enemy, crossed the river, blew up
the bridge, and fell back.
The Prussians moved up the river to Couroelles,
where they passed the Soiue. They were turioujly
attacked by tbe Franc-tlreura,and finally coinpdllo J
to retreat In disorder.
A French war steamer has been ordered to carry
th French malls over the channel. '
A letter from Paris by balloon, dated on October
14, says the squares and pleasure grounds hive
been planted with cabbages and eauli flowers. There
U no anxietv to make peace. The battle of Bay-
nux resulted In such severe loss that the Prussians
aked tor six hours to bury their dead.
Bhmarck's proposal for peace, through Burn
tide, were tbe payment of an lu.lniuuity of L40,
f ui.fKO. Alsace aud Lorralue to be neutral territory
for ten years, and then to decido by a pUuUoit,uu
their future status, and the 1'rnselaus to outer

diguautly refuted ihrnte terms.
Touaa, Oal. H
Moie favorable new has been received from
Paris. A bridge has been thrown across tbe Seiue.
by which Independent communication has been es
tablished between lorta hreulon and Ivry. The
Mobile eviilinue to wake tucccaitiul ortie. Ke-
ports from official and private sources show that
bands of sharpshooters In all part of the country
occupied by the enemy are becoming more and
more effective, and cause much annoyance ani
damage on the German line of communication. An
official dispatch states that the frano-tlreurs, after
a successful engagement, occnpled Melun. No
official Intelligence from Orleans have been made
publio to-day. Strategical movements In that di
rection are on foot, which render It necessary for
the government to withhold all information likely
to be of service to the enemy.
A private despatch from Chateau d'F.u, dated
to-day, reports that shells were thrown Into tbat
town this afternoon.
A telegram from Pljon to-day announces that
Vessoul has been occupied by the-Prusslans.
In the absence of any representative of the
United States at Tours, the French government re
quest the New York Associated Press to mke
known to the American government and people Its
extreme desire to make a new postal treaty be
tween the two nations, and that It would gladly re
ceive a special envoy from Washington, with whom
negotiations might be concluded to that end.
