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.
