GENEKAI, VON FAnntCE'S LETTER.
KorKN, March 21, 1s71. I have the honor to In
form your Excellency that, In presence of the
events which have just taken place In Paris, ami
which appear no longer to Insure the execution of
the conventions as regards the future, the commander-in-chief
of the army before Paris Interdicts
all approach to our lines la front of the forts occu
pied by tiy us, demands the re-establishment, within
twenty-tour hours, of the telegraphs destroyed at
Pantln, and declares that he will treat the city of
Paris as an enemy 11' It shall still adopt, any mea
sures in contradiction to the negotiations engaged
and the preliminaries ol' peace, which circumstance
would lead to an opening of the tire from the Torts
in (jiie-tlon. Fa i; rich.
.11 LES FAVKE'S REPLY.
The Minister replied as follows:
Yehsaii.i.ks, Man U 21, 1 S 1. I received only very
late this evening the telegram which your Excel
lency does me t ho honor to address to me this day
at twenty minutes past 12 o'c'ock. The Insurrec
tional movement triumphant in Paris has boen only
a surprise, before which the Jovernnient has mo
mentarily rctlied to avoid a civil war. It Is the
work of a handful of factious men disavowed by the
great majorliy of the pop ilation, and energetically
combatied by the Mayors, who resisted with cou
rage. The departments are unanimous lu condemn
ing the movement and In promising their support to
the Assembly. The Government will make itself
roaster of the situation, and if it does noi Ho so to
morrow the reason is that it desires to spare the
eh iiBlon of blood.
Your Excellency can therefore be assured that our
engagements shall be kept, and you will donbilesa
be unwilling, lu presence of these facts and of our
formal declaration, to lnilict on the city of Paris,
protected by the preliminaries of peace, the cala
mity of a military execution. To do this would be
to make the dying expiate the crime of a few per
verse enemies of their country. As to the damage
done to the telegraph at Pantln the Government un
fortunately has not, at present, the means of repair
ing it. Notice lifiH been sent to the Mayors, who,
rerhaps will be able to do what is demanded. But
have the honor to repeat to your Fxeclloncy that
owing to the good sense of t he great majority of the
Paris population, to the firmness of the Assembly
and the support given by the depart nients.the cause
o.' right will prevail, and that lu a few days I shall
have the power of giving entire s .ttUf action to your
Excellency In respect to the claims jn&tliiod by our
engagements. Ji i.Ei Favkk.

COMriKi.NE, March 21, 1871. The undersigned,
commanding-in-chlef, takes the liberty to inform
you that the (Jeriuan troops which eccupy the forts
to the north and east of Paris, as well as the envi
rons of the right bank of the Seine, have received
orders to maintain an amicable and passive attitude
so long as the events of which the interior of the
city is the theatre Bhall not assume with regard to
the German armies a hostile character, and of a
nature to place them in danger. Should such be
the case, they will observe the terms determined by
the prclimiuaries of peace, liut, in the case these
events should have a character of hostility, the city
f Paris will be treated as an enemy.

The following is the text of the proclamation
itMied on the of March, at Versailles, by
the National Assemblv to the people and
armv:
Citizens and Soldiers : The greatest crime with a
free people a revolt against national sovereignty,
adds fresh disasters to the troubles of the country.
sSenseleiis criinluals. on the morro following a great
niistortunu, when the foreigner had scarcely evacu
uted the ravaged fields, have not blushed to carry
disorder, iuiii, and dishonor Into Paris, which
l he v pretended to honor and defend. They have
stained the city with b'ood, which raises the public
conscience against them, and forbids them pro
nouncing tue Duble word "Republic I" which has no
other meaniug than respect for the laws and lllx-itv.
France repudiates this odious aitempt with indigna
tion. lo not tear the weakness on our part to coin
promise with the guilty. We shall maintain the
trust contldcd to us by the country, an 1 the principle
ol national sovcrtlgntv. We are your represent a
tlves. France will not be modelled by a factions
minority. Ii is for you to deteud yonr rights, and
to maintain yourselves. We appeal to your courage
and assistance. We adjure you to rally round the
Assembly, which is your work, and the symbol of
hope and safety. A. Tin Kits.
M. Jules Favre, in his speech at the sitting of
the .National Assembly on tne -d uit., an
nounced that he had communicated the despatch
of Count Bismarck to the Mayor of the Second
arrondissement, who had sent the Bauie to the
other mayors. M. Jules Favre said, in his reply
to Count liismarck, mat tne departments unau
iinouslv renudixted all connection with the Paris
committee, and adhered to the Government and
the National Assembly. The Government has
renuested the olliccr commanding the Prussian
troops not to inflict the tlireatcued punishment
on Paris, because thousands of iuuoconts would
thus suffer for the crimes committed by a few
wrong-headed persons.

in Paris, saj's :
Citizens : We have no doubt that on reading the
report of yesterday 's Billing of the Assembly yon
experienced the same feelings as those with which,
our souls are filled. It was not our fault that Ihe
sitting did not assume a different character and
lead to different results, fetii;, we have obtained a
formal recognition of the rights of Paris, and the
capital will consequently be called nponlnashort
time to elect a municipal council. Under these cir
cumstances you will understand, as we do, the ne
cessity of avoiding inch disasters as would arise at
this moment from any conflict between the citizens.

Citizens: In answer to the call that the country
was In danger we have taken up arms. That was
our duty. To-day we are overtaken by misery and
leprosy. We can only better our future by a sub
lime eil'ort. The difficult epoch we are passing
tnrougii must, nave itrougnt usto serious reiiection
on the subject of our social position as workmen.
We must ask ourselves whether we, the producers.
ought to allow those who do not produce anything
to live at. eas; whether the system whicti Ims heen
pursued until now Is destined to exist for all time,
even when it is entirely opposed to us. Let us
prove by our attachment to the sacred cause of do
niocracy that we are worthy of all the consideration
due to us.
To our task, then, fellow workmen, for our em
ployers only think at this moment how toproilt by
our misery in order to extort still more from us, if
possible. If we are true to our ourselves wo shall
check their base rapacity. To this end we call upon
the stonemasons and stonesawycrs to assemble on
Thursday next at the Place de l Gorderle du Tem

called upon to elect your Communal Assembly (the
Municipal Council of the city of Paris). For the

freed from the government of her enemies. In con

real order which is aionc durable, being rounueu on
the often-reneweil consent of a frequent consulted
majority. It suppresses every cause of conillct of
civil war and revolution by suppressing all antago

Great excitement reigned amone the Peru
ties at the opening of the meeting of March
The Chamber was opened by the President, M
J. Grew, at o o clock in the afternoon. After a
pet
M.
etBonal controversy between M. Louis Diane and
Juignet, to which the Assembly paid, now
ever, very little attention, M.Jules Favre, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, arose, and when
ha pronounced the words of ' demaude la
parole," the whole Assembly and spectators
w ere nusnea into silence.
M.Jules Favre began Gentlemen : The excep
tional clrcnmsiances in which we are placed do not
permit the Government to pass In sllenoe one of
those Incident! which anfortunatejy I have pre
dicted. I teld the Chamber yesterday that the
criminal enterprise which is directed In Paris against
the government and authority of the National As
sembly placed the whole of France In the great
danger of an Immediate total or partial resump
tion of hosti:itie! by the German forceH. I
added that It was to be feared that the city of
Paris, having violently separated nerseif irom her
(ioverument, would be treated as an enemy. Well,
then, the very moment 1 had said this 1 received
from the German Chancery a despatch which was
even more important than that to wnica I had
h1Iik1f.ii in hit preceding discourse. Last nlirhl
received another, the contents of which I cuunot
conceal from the Assembly. 1 have scut the lust
named despatch to one of my colleagues, who is
Major of an arrondissement in Pans, Hi order that
he uy puL-lMb H inrosKUoat m city.
Here M. Favre rerd the correspondence 'hat had
passed between him and the Ucrman commander.
I'avrc continued The sail extremity in wmcn
we are Placed, gentlemen, loft nothing else forme
to do. I must, however, commnnicate to you con
fidentially the foimal assurance which 1 had given as
a member of the Govt rn.neut., that It Is the ilrst in
tention of the Assembly to re-estabitgh the authority
of the law at any price, because It, should prevail abive
all criminal resistance. The Prussian statl has entered
into ncgotlatlonswith usto which I attach good hoies.
i nave a ngeroiis cu'y to lunn, ami I snail accoiu-
P'lsh It to the best f my power. But I wish, gen
tlemen, that those wl'o thiow the country into these
calamities should understand tlo responsibility
which weighs upon them in the face of history and
civilization. (Very Rood.) I liave nothing else to
tell you, except that, resolved to do our duty, we
shall certainly Induce the population of f arista pro
test aysinst .ihe servitude to which they are sub
jec.fd by a handful of men who have consummated
a bold f rime, and mat in a lew days mv promises
the ergngeraeuts which I have taken will, thanks
to your Bio, oe easily luiiined.
I he following discourse was delivered by M.
.T tiles Favre on the preceding day, with regard to
the revolutionary acts of the Commune and the
assassination of Generals Thomas and Lecomte:
M, Jules Favre I have Just heard that the men
of tirder In Paris, who are, I am sure, very numerous,
d mand, as a satisfaction, which we cannot refuse
them, to manifest their energetic, condemnation of
the municipal vote. I do not doubt, the sincerity of
their Intentions, and am sure that there was not one
among them who approached the ballot in the face
of the humiliating position to which Fans is unfortu
nately reduced. The President of the Council has
paid : "Lc t Paris show but a sign to ns and we shall
be with her. We have not ceased to bo with her.
and although superior considerations have com
pelled us to bring the army hither we have
said at fiur departure. 'At tie Ilrst sign we
shall be with you.'" Indeed, gentlemen, this is the
soie nuty or an men ot nonor under the present con
ditions. Time presses, and I con lure you to reflect
on this. It Is not alone by words, but by deeds, and
energetic deeds, that this evil must be comoa'.cd.
(Approbation.) If you would not that the evil be
left without remedy and it will not, I hope if you
would not mat it snouiii attain to proportions mat
would dishonor our unfortunate country. (Very
good, very good.) Well, then, the honest citizen of
i'aris only accept with a shudder the shamef rl yoke
Imposed upon them by a handful of wretches,
against whom they have had the courage to pro
test. And be not deceived when you are told that an
net of sovereignty could disarm the Infamous pas
sions which now seek full scope: I do not say that
they deceive yon; Heaven forbid that I should
impute to any one m tuts Assembly a bad intention !
Put they (the members of I'aris) are deceived.
(Movement.) Let the Assembly, in Its sovere'gn
power, atnrm what we have thought bo long, what
the President of the Council has so well expressed.
viz , that Paris must enjoy her municipal liberties.
that her magistrates must be freely elected, that to
them only belong the administration and disposition
of the fortunes of the city. My honorable colleague,
the Minister of the interior, and I have prepared
in advance a plan of law, which we should have
submitted to you yesterday, if it had not been neces
sary to give the introductory explanations, and to
assure ourselves that we were ac'.'ng In concert
with you. Vou are aware that those meu who
have told the honorable representatives
of Tarls that they would disarm at
the bidding of the vote, do, nevertheless, heap
Insults on this Assembly and the Government ema
nating from it. I should blush If I were under the
necessity of repeating the gratuitous lusults and
the outrages which these enemies of the public wel
fare have ottered the legitimate authorities emanat
ing from universal suffrage, placing above them I
do not know what bloody and rapacious Ideal.
(True, very true! Bravo!) There can be, there
fore, no misunderstanding among us upon this sub
ject. If it were the question of giving Paris the
liberty of elections, I can say, without hesitation,
that tte great majority, ir not the una
nimity, of this Assembly would render Paris
the rights which have so long been
withheld from her. Paris will, therefore, know what
are jour intentions; she will know that they have
always been in conformity with the prlncip'es of
right, and there can be no pretext ou the part of
those who resist and place themselves above the
law for cont nulng their usurpation. (Very good.)
Bnch declarations, however it would be idle to con
ceal it are vain and deceptive, w hat those men
have desired what they have, in fact, realized is
the trial of that fatal doctrine which, unfortunately,
Dasnau innstiions oiscipies sincere, perhaps, but
iiot understanding the consequences of the opinion
Into which l hey have strayed. I mean
that, tenet of belief which, In the language of
philosophy, may call itself individualism aud m ite
rlalibin, tut which from apolitical standpoint to
use an expression w men l nave neard in tins As
sembly ought to call Itself the republic placed
above universal suffrage. (Very good 1 Very good !)

perhaps, with perfect good faith by these men, that
they with to lead astray the people aud make them
believe that, with a free nation, the greatest
amount of liberty consists In the greatest division,
and that it behooves a city like Paris for these new
doctors have even proclaimed this pre
tensionto sepatate irom France to have
her own individuality, to live by herself. This is not
only an error this is a crime against the unity of
France, (uravos.) as lor rajseu, gentlemen, per.
mlt me not to leave this tribune without opening my
heart, in oraer mat it may oe. uenverea oi one or the
numerous sorrows which oppress It. When charged
with the negotiations i combated lor tnree days the
conditions of the victor, and Heaven knows how he
insisted upon entering Fans and disarming the
National Uuard! (Movement) I thought it my
duty to spare the National Guard this
humiliation. I thought after having shown
such a heroic spirit during the
siege the National Uaard would understand that it
bad a second duty to luini that or using the arms
which I preserved for it for the execution of law
and maintenance of public peace. (Very good.) I
was mistaken. (Movement) 1 ask for it pardon of
God and men; and when i heard it rumored 1 would
not believe it, on tne evening or the ista of March,
that the unfortunate Generals Lecomte and Thomas
had been assassinated. Oh! my conscience was
sunken (sensation), and I asked myself whether I
had not relied too mncii on those lor whom
I had obtained; this stipulation. Well, then, 1
conjure them, for It Is never too late to return
to the right, that they may know it. The responsi
bllliy which weighs upon mem is great. It depends
to-day on the National Guard to consummate Its
dishonor or to redeem It (Yes, yes; very good.)
lint let the National Heard understand that the
safety oi the country is in Its hands, but whatever
may happen, the sovereignty of the people will get
the upper hand ; for France will not be Dissolved or
brought to bend her front beneath a bloody level
which is in the hands of a factious minority, (llravo,
bravo.)
M. Gaslonde let us appeal to the provinces.
Admiral isaisset Yes; call upon the provinces to
march, if necessary, upon i'aris. 1 ins must end,
M. Favre liut what 1 desire from the bottom of
mv heart is, that the National Guard should be
brought toalproper sense of its situation; that It.
may understand the grand device, "Aobdiwie vblii''
aud that, after having conquered, in the eyes of the
enemy aud of the whole of France, the highest titles
to public admiration, it should not forget itself and
compromise these privileges. There remains but
one thing for it to conquer, and tnat la to heed your
voice and make quick justice of the wretjhes who
or prees the capital. ('".Bravo," and prolonged ap
plause.)

Further Outrage at. tlie Mine.
Ft ranton, April 7. Yesterday afternoon
about 2 o'clock a large body of miners and boys
from other mines congregated at Tripp's slope,
and assailed with stones and clubs the men at
work in that place, stopping the work. It is
reported on the streets this morning that a large
body of miners, numbering four or live hundred,
have driven the men out of Council's mines
and the mine worked by Morris t Weeks. At
the latter place they blew up the mouth ot the
slope with powder taken from the nvine, tore up
the railroad track at the mine, and did other
damage to the amonnt of one thousand dollars.
Three men were killed and several wounded at
Tripp's slope this morning.

Scranton, April 7. This morning a band o
five hundred men, armed with muskets, clubs,
and revolvcrs,vlaited Tripp's mines, in this city,
aad prevented the workmen from entering the
mines. Three miners employed at the works
were shot down dead in cold blood by the mob,
and others beaten with stones so badly that they
must die.
Last night Morris & Weed's retail coal works
In this city were lorn down, the mouth of their
mine blown done, and the track torn up. A
large mob is now engaged (this noon) in driving
the men of (he iron company's mines, near
their mills. These several gangs of men carry
the Irish-American flag, and have the arms of
two of the militia companies, one Irish and the
other Welsh. Great excitement prevails here,
and a bloody time is expected.
General Osborn, of Wilkcebarre, has been
telegrapned for troops. The Mayor of the city
was hooted at while reading the riot act to the
mob to-day. There is not an American military
company in the entire northern half of this
(Luzerne) county.
The demonstrations yesterday wore the first
made during this suspension.
The mobs altogether number over a thousand
men, and they are visiting in rapid succession
such mines as are being worked here. Conncll's
mines, near this city, were besieged to-day, and
a suspension of work compelled. The proper
authorities for preserving the peace are moving
slowly, and unless decisive measures are taken
at once the whole city will be uudcr the terror
ism of the rioters.

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
A Wllllaiiiahiirg School ;trl MUxing Iter
Letter to Her Mother "You'll XevcrSee
Me Alive Aaln."
An advertisement in another column inquires
for Annie Olmstead, a miss of fourteen, who up
to the day of her disappearance, on Monday
last, resided with her widowed mother, at North
i ourtli and Sixth streets, v llllamsburg. At the
usual hour on Monday Annie started for school.
As she did not reach home nt tho usual hour,
her mother and brother went in search of her,
but in vain. Yesterday morning Mrs. Olmstead
received by mall a letter in her daughter's hand
writing post-marked "New York, "April 4, u P.
M.," as follows:
jni.v Dear .Mother: it is nara ror me to leave mis
world in the way I am goinir to do. You'll never
Bee me alive Spain In this world, and you'll only find
my body by raking the East river. 1 shall drown
myself at VI o cioc.K this Tuesday night. Mother, l
cried when I wrote this; but I want yo to make
your mind contented. Mother, pray for me; pray
forme. Your daughter, An nib.
The girl's brother-in-law yesterday visited a
Miss McKenna, with whom Annie was on inti
mate terms. Miss McKenna said that Annie
w as at her house on Monday afternoon, and
looking out of the window saw her mother and
brother searching tor ner. une said:
"Mv God: there s my mother loomng tor me.
I ra going to New York to drown myself. Doa't
say anything about it, or you'll get yourself into
trouble.
Miss McKenna says that she went away as
soon as her mother was out of sight, and she
saw no more of her. N. Y. Bun, to-day.
TIIE FKESIDESCV.
Mr. Siimuir ud the Democrat In the
(senate.
l'timi the 1 lonton Advertiser.
Recent events have established a new relatiou
between Mr. Sumner and the Democrats of tho
Senate. The old savage hostility has become
something more than an armed neutrality; it is
an active alliance, limited, no doubt, lu pur
poses, but warm in support of the common in
terests, in tne oiu uays, u was rare 10 see a
Democratic Senator in the neighborhood of Mr.
Sumner's chair: now there is not an hour passes
without a conference, always carried on, how
ever, at his place, and never on the Democratic
side. The most tlTusive cordiality seems to
exist. If Mr. Bumner speaks of Mr. Thurman
in debate, it is with emphatic words of friend
ship, and not in the conventional style as "the
senator from Ohio." If Mr. Sumner needs sup
port in any of his efforts to introduce resolutions
or make inquiries, Mr. Thurman or Mr. Cas
serly Is ready to proffer it. When the great
speech of Monday was finished, the first and
heartiest congratulations came from these gen
tlemen and their tollowers. it would be non
sense to Infer from all this that Mr. Sumner is
going to jump into the arms of the Democracy,
or uTfollow Mr. Chase's example In seeking a
nomination from Tammany. But these thing
all have Iheir value in weighing the signs of tha
times.
FINANCIAL FAILURE.
Collapse of a Prominent IJioktr of Wil
mington. The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial of last
evening says:
It has been well known in financial circles for
some time that Mr. A. It. Woolston, a promi
nent broker and real estate agent of this city,
was not able to promptly meet his engage
ments. His affairs have now reached such a
condition as to be no improper subject tor a
newspaper statement.
Mr. W oolston's failure is for a large amount,
his liabilities being stated as high as T0,000,
which w ill be much in excess of all that can be
reKlied from his aeets. One of thj most un-
i fortunate features of the case is that his fther-
m-law, a gentleman much respected iu the com
munity, who had acquired a competency after
an active business life, is so involved by en
dorsements for Mr. Woolstwa as to be obliged
to make an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. Other sums owing by Mr. Woolston
are to persons in moderate ciicumstauces, who
can ill aftordy the loss.
The causes of Mr. Wools ton s laiiure are
stated to be Imprudent speculations and the
absorption of capital iu extensive building- ope
rations. He erected quite a number of houses
duriBg the past year, lu his capacity as broker,
he was correspondent here for Henry Clews A:
Co., of New York, and agent for the National
Life Insurance Company.
BREAKING TIIE BONDS.
I'm llnnUni Woumlrd lu the Ilnuxenf it
FrlemU.V Iloxtou Cleric on Then! rex and
Dancing,
Tlie Rev. J. L. Hatch lectured In the Olympic
Theatre, Boston, on Sunday evening last, on
"THE THEATRE AS k MKANB OF GRACE."
The report ot his address in the Boston Herald
says he prefaced his remarks by a selection
Irom tho writings of Hood, denouncing the
practice of some persons of donning the cloak
of religion to cover their hidden deformities,
and of nssumlng to feci a holy horror of indulg
ing any of tho propensities of human nature.
The speaker then contrasted the
PRINCIPLES OT TRI E AND FALSE REI.K-tON.
The former was discriminating, proving all
things, and holding fast to that which was good.
The latter was overbearing and dogmatic. The
former favored a full and fair encounter between
truth and error, and "who ever knew the truth
to bo put to the worst ?" The theatre and the
dance have always been put under the ecclesi
astical ban, and have received the severest cen
sure of rigid moralists. But
llt'MAN NATI RE CANNOT ItB SrrrRR9'-rr.
Men clothed in gown and bands, or dressed in
a little brief authority," which they wear with
as much pride and pomposity as any fop hia
fanciful toggery, may strive with severe counte
nance and rigid, Puritanic restrictions to subdue
ond repress human nature: but just when they
think they have conquered, and have got it safe
under their thumb, up it jumps
LIKE A JACK-IST-A-nOX,
full of life and vigor, to their great fright, or at
least to their extreme displeasure and disgust.
The speaker claimed that many of the worst
and most immoral people he had ever known
had been those who never went to the theatre,
but considered it a stepping-stone to hell; while
very many of the best men and women in the
world have been those who occasionally attend
the theatre and regard its influence,
AS FAVORABLE TO GOOD MORALS.
He (Hatch) practised as he preached, and iu the
instruction of his little daughter brought her to
the theatre and had her taught to dance at home.
1 he coatrary ground bad been taken by very
able and sincere men, but In most cases the-e
grounds were not the result of Investigation and
personal knowledge, but were taken from hear
say; and in the speaker's opinion, one of trie
most able exponents of these principles, none
other than Henry Ward Beecher, was "like an
ovl in an ivy bush, reading a lecture to a lynx
on the sin of sharp-slghtedness!" The lecture
was very well received by the audience, and
was frequently applauded.
A BURSTEI) BUBBLE.
The Principal lu the McrchaufM and
Manufacturers' Swindle to Go llcforc the
tii-iind .Tury.
All the affidavits and papers which have been
filed with reference to the charge of fraud pre
ferred bv the Superintendent of Police against
George Thomas Elias. Joseph McClonnan, Henry
Wilson, Charles Sinclair, James Smith, and An
drew Watt were yesterday morning forwarded
to the Grand Jury for their consideration.
It was at first thought impossible to hold them
on the charge, but the District Attorney has so
clearly defined the law upon which the indict
ments are to be founded that It Is very unlikely
the defendants will come off without receiving
the full weight of the law. According to the
statute the getting up of a lottery of this char
acter is a misdemeanor punishable with impri
sonment not exceeding two years and a fine of
t."C0. There was a consultation between Cap tain
Wilson and Judge Garvin to-day with re
ference to the property now In charge of the
police, but the decision has not yet been made
public. All those who have loaned goods are
anxious to regain possession of them, but noth
ing has been removed up to the present time.
