TIII3 WAR.
LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES.
rE ACE KCMORS ENGLAND TO INTERFERE TERMS
OF AN ARMISTICE ANOTHER FIGHT NEAR
PARIS, AND THE DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.
IjONDOH, Oct. 22.
Bismarck has repudiated all those sayings as
scribed to him, in the letters of Russell, newspa
per correspondent, and asserts that he had only
corrected him in a material point.
The government authorities lately seized twenty
five barrels of powder at a Fenian store in Ireland.
They were taken to Woolwich, opened, and found
to contain Inciter matches and nails in consider
able quantities mixed through tho powder. The
barrels, with their contents, were carefully placed
on an old barge and sunk in the river.
The London papers of to-day publish reports
made by deserters from Metz to the elfect that
Bazaine is dead, that Canrobert is in command,
and that hunger and pestilence prevailed in the
city. These stories are generally discredited. At
Berlin, however, the capitulation of Bazaine is
hourly expected. It now seems that the overtures
he recently made, looking to a surrender, referred
only to the troops which had refuged at Metz, and
not to the garrison of the city. It is reported that
the North German sovereigns have been convoked
at Versailles to declare King William Emperor of
Germany.
A' sortie was made from Paris last night in the
direction of Versailles, and the Germans, after
some hours' righting, drove the French back,
taking 100 prisoners and two guns. The German
loss was small, and was caused by a bomb bursting
in the midst of a battalion.
The trt parallel against the southern fort of
Schlestadt has been opened. It is 600 paces from
the work and has been mounted with thirty-two
Euns, ready for nse. The Prussians lost in its eata
libhment ouly three men.
London, Oct. 22 The evening edition of the
Times contains a special telegram from Berlin,
stating that Prussia has repeated her willingness
to grant an armistice if the principle of the cession
ot territory be conceded. The mere dismantling of
the fortresses in Alsace and Lorraine under a Euro
pean guarantee is insufficient.
JJeserters from Met are constantly arriving at
Brussels. King Leopold has given 60,000f. In aid of
the German wounded.
A dispatch from Lille to-day confirms the occu
pation of St. Quentic by the Prussians after a
thort cannonade.
London, Oct. 23 It is reported that England
will immediately offer direct intervention tor an
armlpfice. Lords Lynns and Loftus have taken
sttr to that effect at Tours and Berlin, and perfect
accord in the matter exists between England, Aus
tria and Italy.
The Germans took 6000 prisoners at the capture
of Orleans. They have bombarded Vernon, on the
Paris and Havre railway, and are advancing on
Amiens in two columns. One was at Breteuillast
night, and the other at Montdldlef. A dispatch
from Lille reports that the Prussian advance guard
Is bivouacked at Ribemont, near St. Quentln, and
another body Is approaching La Fere.
General Von tier Tann, commanding the German
troop on the Loire, has issued a proclamation, in
which he declares that the main condition of peice
is the restitution of Alsace and Lorraine to Ger
many. The Prussians have taken all clothing from the
shops and wine from the cellars in Orleans
The following new military divisions have been
formed in France: North, Bourbaki commanding,
with headquarters at Lille; West, Flercu command
ing, with headquarters at Le Mans; Centre, Pol
hes commanding, with headquarters at Bourges;
East, General Cambrleres, headquarters at Besan
con. Assizes are to be opened on November 3. Ad
ministrative councils are established in twenty-two
military districts Into which France is subdivided.
Each council is to retain one civil functionary, who
will have the solo charge of raising ani organizing
troopp.
London, Oct. 22. Special to tho Now York Her
ald. A letter. inst received, anil dated Paris, Oct.
14. cays: Negotiations lor peace continue. Bis
marck sent letters yesterday to Washburne and
Jules Favre, of a conciliatory character.
An armistice, to allow a Constituent Assembly to
be elected, to decide definitely on peace, was undjr
discussion, the principal conditions of which are
that the military situations shall remain in statu
quo. The members of tho Assembly elected are to
be 1 lowed to enter Paris, and none else. Alsace
and Lorraine are not to vote, to which Favre ob
jects, very absurdly, as that province cannot vote
while occupied by the Prussian armies. This salu
tion of the neutrality of Alsace and Lorraine is
favored by Bbmarck.
The pates of Pnrls are opened at daylight, and
closed at, 6 P. M. Omnibuspes are not allowod to
run alter 10.30 P. M.
The pictures, statues, and tapestry at St. Cloud
were removed before the investment, and were not
burned. There is great destruction in every direc
tion. Paris secretly prays for peace, but tho people
aro afraid to say sn aloud. There is no want of
pinck and patience, but the situation is terribly dis
tressing, and there is an enormous amount of pov
erty and suffering. It is thought that soup kitchens
will be organized to deal out rations to all who
have certificates. The weather is changeable, wet
and pleasant by turns, but is not yet cold. The
novelty of the siege is over, and life is dull and op
pressive now. Mr. Washburne was very ill yester
day, but is better to-day.
London, Oct. 23 Special to the New York
Herald. A Versailles letter, of October 18, do
scribes a visit to Meudon. The Prussian positions
are rapidly becoming impregnable, and active pre
parations are being made for mounting siege guns
in every direction. He says Burnside's bag, now
known as the "through mall," leaves with Sheri
dan ta-day. Sheridan will not return, regarding
the war as virtnally over, and the seige dull and
slow. He returns borne in the spring. Bismarck
paid him a farewell visit last night. Sheridan said
to-day that he had been royally treated by the
Prussians. Bismarck, Moltke, the King and Crown
Prince could not have been more cordial.
The King says the French have his sympathies,
but they are making at present such a poor figure
that he regards the siege of Paris a laughable
farce. "I have been," he says, "disappointed with
the French so has the whole world; but It Is easy
to account for their failure. They have been
weakened so much by centralization that they are
willing to lay all their misfortunes on the shoulders
of the empire as a scapegoat, instead of boldly
helping themselves. It Is lamentable to Bee a na
tion of 40,000,000 so utterly broken. Fight! and
they ought to tight, till their boots fall off."
Sheridan made an excellent impression, and his
prompt outspoken manner was much enjoyed by
the King and Bismarck.
There are fifty siege guns now up In front that
are not yet in battery. They are eighteen to sixty
Eounders, and are still on their high carriages,
tarvation, however, It seems to many, is the true
cue lor tne reduction or Paris, rne leaders, never
theless, have resolved to push the bombardment
the very first instant the guns are ready.
London, Oct. 23 Special to the New York Tri
bune. The telegrams from Tours and Vienna, an
nouncing the proposal by England of an armistice,
are substantially true. I have the highest authority
for saying that the British government concluded
last week that the time bad arrived for making an
other effort. They considered the moment critical,
and felt it their duty to try something, and have
urged an armistice by making common representa
tions to Prussia and France, and asking the other
Powers to join them in the effort to bring it about.
The armistice is intended to allow the convoca
tion of the French Assembly. It is understood that
Bismarck favors such convocation, but insists that
the armistice must Involve the Impracticable basis
of peace. While the overtures of Great Britain
have not been unfavorably received at both Tours
and Versailles, the British government has Bmall
hopes of success. There Is a chance, but only a
chance, that the present effort may produce a sus
pension of hostilities.
It is reported that the Emperor and Empress
agreed with the King ai.d Bismarck npon the pro
ject of peace, which includes the dismantling of the
fortresses in eastern France, and Indemnity by
France to Germany of 6,000,000 francs in cattle,
horses, grain, wine and oil. No cession of territory
is to be made unless the people of Alsace, npon a
plebiscitum, should vote for annexation to Germany;
Bazaine to leave Metz, and proclaim the sYriuce
Imperial as emperor, with the Empress as regent.
It is added that the solution depends absolutely
on the acceptance by King William of the condi
tions introduced into the proposed arrangement by
the great powers, that the cession of Alsace must be
determined by its people. The powers Insist on this,
and It is rumored that If Germany objects to it they
will Intervene by force to compel Prussia to with
draw her armies from France.
Versailles, Oct. 21, via Berlin, Oct. 22 At
noon, to-day, a sortie was made by the French from
Fort Mont Valerien, supported by forty field guns
They were victoriously repulsed bydotachments of
the 9th and 10th divisions of infantry and a regl-
ment of Landwehr, supported toward the close of
the engagement by the 4th corps. The Prussians
captured 100 prisoners and two cannon. The Ger
man loss was small. The King witnessed the battle
from the Marly viaduct. The people of Versailles
were greatly alarmed.
The official report of captures made at Soissons
has just been made public. Ninety-one officers and
4033 rank and file surrendered, and 128 guns of all
kinds; 70,000 bombs, 150 tons of gunpowder, and a
military chest containing 92,000 francs fell Into the
hands of the Germans.
George Francis Train arrived at Marseilles yes
terday, and created a great excitement by making
a speech, in which he denounced the Prussians in
the most bitter terms.
Tours, Oct. 22.
It is reported that the Prussian forces now occu
pying Orleans are committing such excesses that it
is belinvcd that they are on the point of leaving
that city, and are determined to leave nothing to
the Inhabitants. The Prussians have been hastily
sending towards Paris enormous quantities of cattle
and eheep and large supplies of forage.
Instances of extreme cruelty practiced by tha
Prussians toward the Franc-tlreurs are related
from all parts of the country, and this only serves
to render the latter more desperate and determined
to take no prisoners. Over thirty Prussian spies,
arrested in different parts of France, were brought
here to-day. The sub-prefect of St. Quentln has
arrived here, having resigned his oitlce because the
municipal authorities refused to defend the town a
second time in case of attack; the consequence of
this refusal by the authorities being the occupation
of the town by the Prussians, who now hold it.
General Bourbaki has commenced operations in
the north.
Bkbancon. Oct. 22 There was heavy fighting
to-day between Voray and Cusscy, north of this
city, which lasted from 9 a. m. till night. The re
sult Is not known. It la reported that tho zouaves
and troops or the vosges distinguished tnemseives
by makingHvigorous bayonet charges.
The Cuiiititutionnel prints the report of the medi
ation of England, and says, "there is reason to
hope tor peace." It adds, "that as soon as an
armistice is concluded, the elections for tho con
stituent Assembly will be ordered."
The Journals contain the following note, inspired
by the government:
"We may affirm that the government in no case
will accept a peace humiliating to France. It will
remain firm in its rejection of all propositions for
the dismemberment of France, and is prepared for
all sacrifices to save the national honor. Invasion
has not prevented the organization of the defeuce
of the country on a formidable scale. We have at
divers points, which it would be imprudent to men
tion, excellent troops, well armed aud equipped,
and ready to move at a given moment, aa will soon
appear.
"In corroboration of the above, it may be stated
on the best authority, that two armisa ably com
manded and composed of excellent troops, are
ready to move forward. Further details cannot be
given, but events will soon prove the truth of these
statements."
Kousn, Oct. 23, evening. At Ivry-la-Battarie,
in the Department of the Euro, old men, women
and children roue against the Prussian troops ecou
pying the place, and terrible scenes ensued. Num
bers were executed on both sides, and ambulances
have been sent to the relief of the wounded.
The Prussians are concentrating at Gizors.
Cardinal Bouuechose to-day read from the pulpit
a protest against the invasion of Home.
Skws, Oct, 23 A balloon which left Paris yester
day, landed safely between Sagnv and Meaux, bnt
quite near the Prussian lines. When at a height
of 2000 metres, It was struck by a new projectile
now in nse by the Prussians.
The official Journal or Paris has published the
answer of General Ducrot to the Prussian charge
that he broke his parole. He says he escaped from
8dan after he had placed himself in the bands of
the Prussians, having refused to sign the capitula
tion or give his j arole.
The official Journal of October 19 relates the
destruction of several more Prussian batteries
which had lately been ereoted. The fire of the forte
had dismounted the Prussian guns and killed a
number of the enemy.

There Is a certain Judge Bannlon in Chicago, for
whom the reporters of that fast city do not appear
to entertain any great respect. The following,
from the Republican, shows how the learned Judge
catches it from these smart fellows. Omitting the
statement of a recent case before the Court, which
is of no especial interest, we quote from the i?c
publican's report:
Bannlon, J. Hit h'ls h'apnarcnt to the Court that
you h are screening somebody. This tribunal does
not tolerate h'any such thing. Screening h is h al
ways bad.
Attorney for the defense But yonr nonor
Bannlon, J The Court knows wat the counsel
would say. The court did not mean to bi h'under
stood that h'all screening was wrong. The Court
'aving been hln the coal business h'appreclates the
h'importanee of screening h'ln that direction, but
criminals h'is not coal, sir, though they may be ai
black'arted. Let this caso proceed. For h'atro
cionsness, h'lt is h'enormous, snd this Court must
dunlsh somebody, h'even though this witness jorgets
the Evnctity of h's h'oath, and screens.
Coumel for Defense Your Honor must be con
vinced that at least some of these parties are inno
cent of even complicity in this affair. At present
their mouths arc closed. Suppose your Honor was
to discharge one of them and see what he has to
68V.
Bannlon, J Your swrgestlon h'ls not h'Accepted,
sir. When this Court wants a suggestion from you,
sir, this Court will h'ask for it. This Court will dis
charge none of the h 'out laws concerned h'ln this
h atrocious and 'orrlble hail'atr. Hif it was to do
so, no man's lire would be safe. Counsel may smile
h at my remarks, h'as I see they do, bnt h'lt Is a
serious matter one of the most damnable matters
that this conrt 'as h'ever 'ad the honor to try.
Counsel If you win release one of these men, I
will put him upon the stand. Your Honor certainly
cannot commit on the testimony now in.
Injured Peddler Your Honor, it was none of these
parties that struck me.
Bannlon, J You will 'old your tongue, witness.
This h's a most h'atrooioHS h 'affair. Yon know who
It you, and are screening.
Injured Peddler If 1 did know, your Honor, I
would certainly prosecute them. 1 would not for
give any man who would treat me as I've been
treated.
Bannlon, J, (addressing the witness) You my go
t o your 'ome, sir. You know simply nothink at all.
I Tti en, clearing his voice I. This question h 'appears
to be a very prlnful one, and yet a very simple one.
Wen this man h'aopcared before me last Friday, ray
h'oplnlon was, h and it was concurred hi'n by the
Police Department, that h i thould never h'gatn
see 'im h'aMve. K 'as been most shamefully and
frightfully h abused. 'E 'as sullered the most lfatro
clous h'abuse It has h'ever been my good fortune to
witness, h'and yet 'e now h at tempts to screen tho
man who h'injured 'im. Of all the h 'atrocious things
I 'ave h eard of, this is the most h 'atrocious thing.
'As it come to this, that h'a man shall be struck to
the h'eartb while h'ln a saloon? Shall yon? Shall
h i? H I shall leave a Grand Jury to decide h'lt.
The judgment of this Court, therefore, h'is that these
three prisoners be removed to the place from w'ence
they came, and h'if they do not furnish five 'undred
dollars h 'apiece, that they be conveyed thence to the
County Jail, there to h 'await the -'action of the
Grand J uryh'of the Criminal Court of Cook county.
The man Douner, n'l shall 'old h'ln three 'andred

most h'atrocious case I 'ave hever 'ad the honor to
try. H'ajourn this court. Exeunt omnes.
AN 'ORBIBLE TALE.
The most Dlsncreenble Miser on Record
Air. Pagln anil the Famous Gentleman ot
Itethnal Green Outdone.
Last week's Saginaw (Mich.) Republic says: It
has been known for some time that a dirty, wretched
old man lived outside the city, about a mile or so, in
a filthy little cabin, entirely alone, and that he was a
hermit,- No one ever went near blm, for it was said
he was a magician. His only companion was a
miserable-looking dog. He came luto the city some
times to beg, and would plteously Implore for money,
stating ibat ho was starving. Sometimes he would
gather rags or scraps of paper and sell them. Every
one supposed him to be wretchedly poor. He had
an evil look, and mothers would remove their chil
dren when they saw him coming.
One day last week, however, a child, the son pf
Mr. Abraham Skinner, went out alone to fish In the
stream, and happened to wander on until, before he
knew it, he came to the hovel of the old man. At
first he was frightened, but seeing no one around
he plucked up courago and went nearer. Every
thing was silent. He went and peeped through a
crack In the side of the hut He almost screamed
at what he saw, for he beheld the old man bending
over a bag of money that he was counting. Tnere
were other bags beside him containing large
quantities of money. Mr. Skinner's son was so
terrified that when he attempted to move he
stumbkd. Like lightning the old man
rushed out and seized him. "Ha," he screamed,
"I've caught yon, have I ? You saw mo. did you ?
Well, now you'll pay for it." And before Mr.
Skinner's son could say a word, the old monster,
with an awful laugh, drew out a knife, and cut the
child's tongne out. Then he chopped off his fingers.
"Now," he said, "now you cau go, for you can't
tell." The poor boy ran off, overcome with a?ony,
and ran to his father's house only to fill them
with consternation. What was the matter with their
child? He could not speak to tell them ! He could
not write, for his fingers were cut. Still, the poor
boy, after efforts of the most horrible pain, man
aged to fix a pencil between his bloody stumps
of fingers and wrote the awful tale ! A party was
Immediately organized and hastened to the miser's
den. He was at the door as they approached and
fired a revolver six times at them, wounding two of
the party seriously. Mr. Skinner returned the fire
and the aged villain fell with a piercing shriek, mor
tally wounded. "My money 1 my money!" he
moaned, "my beautiful money !" and he crawled to
his bags of gold and sank upon them a corpse!
Over 110,000 was discovered, which was presented
to the poor-house and other charitable institutions.
The event will never bo forgotten by our citizens.
The child is slowly recovering. The miser was
buried the day after and the hut was torn down.
THE DEMOCRACY.
Address f the National Executive Committee.
Booms or thk Democratic Executive Resident
Committee Washington, Oct. xl, 1870. The Na
tional Democratic Congressional Resident Com
mittee tender their congratulations to the Demo
cratic and conservative voters of the three great
States of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio, for their
recent successes over the corruntlons of radicalism,
aided, as the radicals have been, by a profligate and
desperate administration at Washington.
In Pennsylvania a gain of five members of Con
gress has been secured, the radical majority of last
year been largely reduced in each branch of the
Legislature, and there is a decided majority in the
State on the popular vote against the administra
tion. In Indiana the State has ceen redeemed from
further radical misrule by the election of the Demo
cratic and Conservative State ticket, carrying with.
It a gain of two members of Congress and a majority
in each branch of the Legislature. Economy and
reform are thus made sure to the people of that State
in the immediate future.
In Ohio the Kadical majority of two years ago has
been reduced more than one-half, aud the leader of
the Radical corruotlonists in the present Congress
been defeated.
We now appeal to the Democratle and Conserva
tive voters of the States in which elections are about
to be held to make lurther and more determined
efforts in behalf of a restoration of an honest admin
istration. We ask that they disregard threats from
any central source, and pay no attention In any
respect to the proposed use of the military power of
the Government in the local management of tho
elections In the States.
Let the doors of our organization be thrown wide
open for the admission of all who desire economy
and honetitv in the mauagement of the public trea
sury, bo that the present burden of taxation may be
thereby mitigated, regardless of former Issues or past
political association or name, and bring about entire
co-opeiatlon among all who seek a restoration of the
Union founded upon peace and goodwill among
their fellow men, and a retnrn to strict Integrity
among the public officers of the nation.
