SOCIAL SCIENCE. The Session of l.nat Evening Addresses by Jndae Nironc, Hon. Charles K. Buckalew, nnd J. I. Kosenaarten, Esq. Judjre Strong opened last evening's session of the Social Science Association. He said conventions have until lately been rare; i. e., conventions on scientific subjects. The subject of social science is indeed a rather unknown science to many. A French philoso pher a lew years ago reierrea to the lact that sociology would certainly in a few years be ranked among tne. general sciences, it is im possible to look at social science even superfi cially without being astonished at the immen sity of its range, and the student must acquaint himself with everything in that range. We are accustomed to speak of Eastern and Asiatic civilization as stationary; but we speak without proper knowledge of the subject. Human society is ever undergoing changes for belter or for worse. Even diseases are new ;imong us. There are habits of society which former generations Lad not. Something has given birth to them. There are laws constantly making new habits and changing old ones. There appears to bo more changes in this country than anywhere else. This is attributa- fblc to the influx of so much im.migration, to the iopening of new portions of the country, and to many oilier causes, l be study ot social science is the study nf historical subjects. History as recorded is little more than au account of gov ernmental action, wars, and changes among nations. The student must know what obsta- nlpa fttartft In thfl VCiW nf Kruiaf.vl lir'Uurri nrn. j If we take into consideration the necessary knowledge to be attained bv the student of social science, we may get an idea of the great 4 extent ol lnlormation to be gained, lhe educa tion of youth is a subject in its infancy; the subject of pauperism is another; the economies of social life are still subject, so are the proper relations of labor and capital, and the laws binding together all social organism. Thus It is seen that the field is very broad, nor is it all terra incognita. It has been studied, too, with avidity. More than one hundred and fifty works on tbe subject of social science, exclusive of periodical articles, have been Issued from the press within the last year. George W. Kmerson, Esq., of Boston, then addressed the meeting on "Homes for Working men and Workingwomen." He referred first to tbe fearful condition of some of the districts of Boston, the dwellings of which were festering with crime by reason of the dirt and uubealthiness of the neighbor hoods. He referred to the evil consequences of this in the education of tbe children, and de tailed clearly and succinctly all the terrible evils which would ensue from this with regard to the morals and habits not only of the young, but of their parents, and certainly a means ot avoiding these evils was the possession of plea sant dwellings for tbe working classes, by which more light, room, air, ventilation, comfort, pri vacy, and separation irom the purlieus of the city, separation from the tavern, could be at tained. He dwelt upon the subject at great length, and then gave way to Mr. Buckalew, on the subject of "Proportional Kepreseutation." Mr. Buckalew commenced by saying that his remarks were inteuded to be supplemental to what he had said and written on tula subject on previous occasions. After defining the free vote to be applicable to elections whenever two or V more persons are to be chosen together to the f same office for the same term of service, and consisiliig in allowlrg the voter to distribute nis votes among candidates as ne snau turns nt, or to concentrate them upon one (assuming that tbe voter shall save the same number of votes as the number of persons to be chosen, and that tbe candidates highest in vote shall be declared elected.) Mr. Buckalew said that it would be assumed tbat it would be Inapplicable to the election of a single person. He then referred to its objects, which was: First, the just repre sentation of the people in government, and seoond, tbe purification of popular elections. He referred to the insufficiency and injustice of tbe "majority" or old system, and said there were remedies for them convenient of applica tion and effectual tor all purposes of reform. With retr-rd to the purification of elections, there could be no doubt that the free vote would cheapen elections, and as a consequence purify them. It would take away from parties a greed for unjust representation and a fear of unjust nieiraucnisement ny tne joint operation of which desperate and expensive struggles e croduced. When a party shall be made secure In its just representation by its own votes, it need not buy a majority in the corruption market, as a measnre for necessary defense. When it cannot, by tbe aid of corrupt votes, rob the opposite party and take to itself moic than its just share of representative power, it will become frugal in Us expenditures and honorable in its conduct. J. 1). Kosengarten, Esq., then addressed the association on the civil service reform. The speaker sketched the civil service In England and Germany, and he said that la this country there was a time when appointments were made on the coore of fitness and removals for cause. Tbe effort now Is to secure such legislation in Congress as will take away from party the whole business of appointment to sub ordinate offices. TLc speaker referred to the benefits to arise from a remodelling of the service. First, there would be a saving of the revenues of some where from fifty to oue hundred millions annually: then an educational basis would receive an endorsement at the hands of Govern ment; and lastly, tbe excluiou of potltics from office would purify our system from its worst abuses. It was to elevate the Government, to secure to its service trained and educated men, and to make their places permanent, that they sought to Introduce the system. The speaker entered into full detail of all the benefits that would accrue from its adoption. Mr. Rosengarten closed by a quotation from and comments on the writings of Do Touquevllle with respect to that writer's correct observation on our systems of government, and with special regard to his reference to the civil service, and to the evils which existed In It in his time, and to the con sequences which would ensue from its practice. And in allusion to the adoption of a better sys tem, he said after comparing it with the evils of an opposite character in his own government, it should be our desire to get one that will have the merits of both and the faults of neither.

TBS WAR. LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES. THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ENGLAXD ANXIOUS FOB MEDIATION BISMAECK ON THE SITUATION GERMANY WANTS PEACE, BUT IS NOT AFBAID OF WAB. London, Oct. 23. Tbe Times has a special dis patch from Berlin stating tbat the latest negotia tions for peace have come to naught, owinjz to tha persistence of Prussia In her demands for French territory. The Times, in an article advising the British Government to make no further efforts to out a stop to the war, now sajs if England persis in ne gotiaung lor peace, sue must do ready to stake tomeiuing on it. The Standard says negotlattoas are astually going on between Versailles and Eugenie at Chis selhurst, with a view to the return ot the Empress to France to resume the regency and negotiate peace. The departure of the Empress, if it did not occur last night, may be expected at any moment. M. Thiers has accepted a mission to negotiate an armistice only, but still remains at Tours, awaiting a sate conduct to Parm, to consult nrst with tne government there. The negotiations for tbe sur render of Metz continue, but make slow progress. Bazaine ignores the French provisional govern ment in bis communications. Tbe Berlin Gazette, reviewing the attempts at conciliation, says the government is led to consider them by the desire to avoid further loss of valuable lives In tbe contest. Tbe city of tSchlestadt capitulated yesterday to the besieging forces, after a severe bombardment. Tbe surrender includes 2100 prisoners and 120 cannon. The executive committee of the association for tbe relief of the misery in the battlehelds appeal to tbe public for aid. In sending ashiploadof bread stuffs and meat to the starving people of the deso lated districts of the Ardennes and Alsace. Ac companying the appeal is a letter from II. T. San lord, ex-minister to Belgium, dated at Brussels on October 9, which states that in the Ardennes alone, tbe region along the Belgian frontier, 200,000 people are in a starving condition. Many are without shelter, save such as is made of bushes, and have saved from their burning houses only the clothing on their backs. They have only such food as charity provides or can still be obtained from the scanty ungathered root crop, while winter is ap proaching, and thousands must perish unless help comes speedily. A detachment of Germans 2000 strong reached Lemesuil on Monday. Great uneasiness is felt by the Prussian garrison at Sedan. Tbe village of Mezieres, near Metz, has been compelled to furniBh 500 horses for transportation of siege material to Montuiedy and Verdun. The Czar has sent the Order of St. George to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Scbwerin, with an autograph letter, expressing earnest aspirations for peace. I.on don , Oct. 25 Special to the New York Herald The city is quite excited to-day over tha introduction of a French loan for 10,000,000, through Morgan & Co. It is the first time that France ever negotiated a loan outside of her own territory. It was received with great favor, and the subscriptions already are very Targe. London. Oct. 25 Special to New ork Herald. A correspondent at the headquarters of the Prus sians at Versailles, writes on October 19: "I had an opportunity to-day to bear Bismarck's opinion regarding tbe political and military situation. He declared that Prussia had never changed from the hour of the declaration of war by France to the I .recent. Compelled unwillingly to draw the sword, e declared they would never sheath It until Ger many was safe from future cruel assaults of the ambition and insolence of her unprincipled neigh bor " He makes tbe same declaration, "now confident in the Justice of our cause," and says "be antici pated victory, but bad left to the experience of war to teach ns what guarantees would effectually ac complish tbe object we bad in view at the com mencement. The blood, treasure and Buttering it cost us to win our past victories, convinces the Prussian nation that they can hope for no full se curity without reclaiming the territories wrenched from Germany for the purpose of aggression, lust and conquest. Prussia earnestly desires peace, but only a peace which will give full security lor the future." In reply to a question whether Germany was able to stand a long campaign, he said: "The people who talk of the exhaustion of Germany are utterly igno rant of facts; we have large resources at hand, and tbe hardest work is over. While we are anxious for peace, we have no fear lor the future." Regarding an armUtice he said, "The chances of we r complicated the negotiations for peace. Prussia is willing to listen to proposals seeking the end of the war from any quarter, likely to lead to practi cal results, in view of the disorganized state of France, no matter whther it comes from an ex emperor or the present provisional government, b jt an armistice is useless unless made so as to lead to peace." It has been decided tbat tbe frane-tireurs must be treated as soldiers when wearing military dress. Humeri of peace fill all quarters of the army, snd an armistice is believed probable. Tovus, Oct: 24, evening, via London. M Krone, for merit waver of the ninth arrondisemunt of P.irU. has been appointed Director General of Safety of Fratx-e. The departmental committee have been autlvorlred to remove all property or animals likely to be useful to tbe enemy. The Minister of War bas been empowered to suspend traftio on any rail road for the same reason. The department of tbe iAiwer Seine and Knre are declared In a state of srige. There have been many cases of Insubordi nation and treachery, In which the guilty parties have been punished with death. ite advices from Paris show tbat the sortie made on October '21 was very successful, many Prussians being killed and captured. The journal's comment ing on the Prowl an reports of the art ulr, call atten tion to its false statements, efjeclally In represent ing the German loss as insignificant, and claiming lhe rapture of a number of French prisoners, when the enemy took none. As the winds have been un favorable for several days, no balloons have left Paris. From a private but reliable source we hear tbat. there ate vast numbers of sick in the camps of tbe besiegers. On many occasions, the discontent of numbers has been loudly expressed, and their commanding c Dicers have been obliged to go among the troops to keep up their morale. Sorties are made mldnightly by smHll parties of Parisians, and the constant tiriiig at night from the forts seriously em harasses the PrusMnB. Up to the present time the Prus sians have not succeeded In erecting batteries of s't ge guns near enough to commence an elective bombardment of the city. The gentleman who gives the above Information is a resident of Versailles, and has been there since tbe enemy occupied the town until a day or two ago, when he managed to escape. He savs that, even In tbe vicinity of Versailles, the Prussians are constantly annoyed by franc-tireurs, who keep up an active guerilla warfare, tiring from ambuscades, and dally killing numbers of the energy. 1 he following dispatches have been received: La Lours, Oct. 22 A large force of Prussians were at Courville to-day, and their scouts appeared at Pontguojot, but In the evening they returned to Cbarties, after blowing up the bridge tt Lan delles. Bvspam'on, Oct. 24 The invaders are retreat ing from Chatiilon-le-duc, taking with them seven tetn wafeon-loads of wounded. They left a large number of dcRd on the field, among them a colonel of Baden cavalry. Nki kchatbau, Oct. 24 On Friday night the Prussians atttmpted to bombard Verdun, but tbelr plans were disconcerted by a gallant and success ful sortie of the garrison, uur troops charged with the bayonet and killed a number of tiie enrmy. Two bodies of the besiegers, mistaking each other in tbe night, for enemies, fought for hours and suffered heavy losses. Tours, Get. 25 Tbe journals recelvedfrom the rrovtnces continue to exnrss the lackot confidence fnspired by the action of England. All of them see Prussian influence in it, as it is well understood that n.ilitary operations are going on satisfactorily, fcome journals urge the government to reject the onei Pf mediation, and continue the war to the death. As yet, tbe expected Prussian safe conduct for Thiers, has not arrived, so nothing more is to be done In that direction. As the Prussians menace an attack on Bourges, all the foundries cannon and material are to be removed from the city. Accord ing to orders Issued by Gambetta, companies of telegraph operators are appointed, with orders to keep tbe government perfectly instructed of all movements. Tbe men are all to be armed. Osinal.conBervateur of Gisors, gives terrible da tails of the treatment of the women at St. Cler mont by the Prussians. As tbe people now show resistance tbe Prussians treat them brutally. The Kouen Journals relate that the Prussians at Laon have ordered the authorities of that town to render justice in the name of Napoleon, as Prussia did not recognize the Republic. The French autho rities refused, and temporarily ceasod the exercise of their functions. Two spies have been brought to Tours, one of them said to be a nephew of Bismarck. They were officers in disguise. It is reported tbat Garibaldi has defeated tne Prussians, capturing two mitrail leuse and 150 horses. He has made an efiectlve dis posal of a large force, protecting Lyons from the advance of the Prussians. His command Is daily increasing in importance. The Prussians withdrew all the troops they had sent beyond Orleans, and ate apparently expecting an attack there. A priest, writing from Paris on October 18, de- scriues nis going out to aid the French wounded He says he saw the operations of the American am bulance train, and cannot sufficiently praise the activity, charity and spirit of concord of the Ame rican surgeons. Large numbers of Remington guns were distri buted here to-day. Upon trial tbe soldiers pro nounce them superior to the Chassepots, especially because they can be tired faster. More companies of franc-tireurs left to-day for tbe front. The Mobiles came here to-day to procure breech loaders, and will go out to-morrow well armed. MR. BURLINGAME. The Secret of Ula Hueceaa ln Chlnn. Mr. BurliEgnrue's success at Pekin will always remain the distinguishing feature of bis "remarkable career. The eminence he achieved, the influence be exerted, and the reputation be acquired in China are almost without parallel. Prior to Mr. Burlingame our country bad been represented at the Chinese Court by Ministers of superior cul ture and commanding talent. Away back in John Tyler's day we had Caleb Cushing, then in tbe early prime of an illustrious career, lie went to China full of learning, a lin guist of rare attainments, with diplomatic talent of the highest order, thoroughly learned in international law, and with an acute intellect s ingularly fitted to cope with and control the mind of the Orient. A few years later, in Mr. Fillmore's Presidency, we sent Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, to represent na at Pekin. Lobs eminent in cul ture than Mr. Cushing, be is soarcely the inferior of any mon in natural ability. To the talent of the Marshalls, conspicuous and brilliant through four generations, he added tbe blood and the brains of the Birneys. He went upon bis mission when young with mili tary laurels won in the Mexican war, and with the further prestige of a distinguished career in Congress. Following Marshall, we had William B. Heed, of Pennsylvania, sent thither by his devoted personal friend, President Buchanan. Mr. Heed has long been a leading member of the Philadel- fbia bar, learned not merely in the aw, bnt with generous culture outside the limits of his profession, and regarded by those who know him best aa among the readiest and most aoute of American jurists. Such were the men whom Mr. Burlingame succeeded in his diplomatic career. It is not stating the case too strongly to say that at no European court did we ever have superior talent during the service of the three gentle men we have named. And yet tbe influence of these men, with all their oonceded gifts and accomplishments, did not compare with the influence exerted by Mr. Bnrlingame. Indeed, it was the testimony of Sir Frederick Bruce, who was at Pekin as the representative of England at tbe same time, that no foreign minister had ever gained such ascendancy in the councils of the Chinese as Mr. Burlin game. His selection, therefore, for the most important mission which China ever sent to Christian nations was not matter of accident or luck, but grew naturally from the exalted estimate placed npon his ability and fitness by the leading minds of the Pekin Government. As an example of the influence of a single man, attained over an alien race, whose civilization is widely different, whose religious belief is totally opposite, whose language be could not read nor write nor speak, Mr. Barlingame's career in China will always be regarded as an ex traordinary event, not to be aooountedfor except by cod ceding to him a peouliar power of influencing those wltu wnoui ne came in contact; a power growing oat of a mysterious f;ift, partly intellectual, partly spiritual, argely physical; a power whose laws are un known, whose origin cannot be traced, and whose limits eannot be assigaed; a power which we designate as magnetism. A youns; girl named Goodman made a des perate attempt to destroy her life a few days ago, at Richmond, Va , in consequence of tbe failure of a young man to see that she was la love with him. Miss Charlotte Cushman U expected In Eoe ton early in November. HAHINE TELEGRAPH. For rnddUional Marin As vf Jtye, ALMANAC FOB FHILA DKLPHIA THIS DAT.
