prove of the Pari Programme.
In the newly-published number of Ihe Contem
porary Review there Is a significant article by
Alazzini on the Commune, and Its aloes and its
proceedings. From this paper (.which was writ
ten before tbe fall of the Communist) we make
tbe following extracts:
AVe republicans of the present day have too
much of the rebel and too little of the apostle
amongst os. Tbe banner of insurrection fasci
nates us, wheresoever or for whatsoever reason It
floats. We have endured so much from the de
facto governments that every protest against
an existing ower assumes in our eyes the
appearance of a eacredf manifestation of
liberty an assertion of the right to ad
vance, against the immobility to which we
nave been for so many centuries condemned.
Every daring affirmation finds an echo in the
hcarfkf our youth; not because npon mature ex
amination it is found to have enunciated a por
tion of truth hitherto unknown, but simply be
cause it is daring. Every spark of exceptional
courage displayed in support of such daring
affirmation transforms the actor into a hero la
our eyes. It is by such passionate adoration
and brief but fruitless enthusiasm that in
dividuality avenges Itself for its long
eubjection to brute force. Just as about a
third of a century since the youth of that day
rebelled against the pedantic rules of art, long
enforced in the name of Greek and Roman
models, and gave themselves up to a blind wor
ship of the empty and immoral formula of art
for art's sake, denying the sole true formula
art for tbe bake of human progress our camp
is threatened at the present day by the formula
of action for action's sake.
To prophesy the salvation of France through
the Parisian Commune, because it has raised
the flag of insurrection agalBst an unworthy
Assembly, without regard to the sole point of
real Import the insurrectionary programme
will not impede its fall. If it do not sink, as it
seems probable, in battle, it will fall through
the anarchy inevitably resulting from that pro
gramme, and facilitating the return of
monarchy, which fools believe to be a
pledge of order, while in fact it is,
wherever it is incapable of identifying
itself with the progressive destiny of the
nation, simply a pledge of future revolutions.
In tbe meantime, however, the fall of the Paris
' Commnne, which is, in reality, merely the ne
cessary consequence of an abnormal incident in
tbe development 01 tne republican enterprise,
will be, to the many who have regarded it as an
initiatory fact, a fresh cause of fatal discourage
ment among tbe peoples, of hesitation and dis
trust among lukewarm Liberals of tbe Parlia
mentary Left, and a new weapon furnished to
tbe adversaries of the republican doctrine, who
will argue: '"This also was a republican move
ment, and its overthrow is a new proof of the
impotence of the principle."
It on the uprising of Paris in the name not of
a great European or national principle, but of
ber own local rights, our party had only remem
bered that a similar uprising, holy and oppor
tune against a foreign foe, would have secured
for them all that they now demand, but that
such insurrection is neither holy nor opportune
while that foreign foe holds the heights of
Paris, and watches with scornful smiles French
men slaughtering each other while they ignore
his presence and violation of their territory if,
studying the programme of the Parisian Com
mnne, they had proclaimed it false, harmful,
and condemned beforehand to sucenmb, they
wonld now have a right to say to the republican
party: "Be not dlscomfitted; the inevitable de
feat of the Parisian 'ommune is no defeat of
the republic, but of men who, consciously or
unconsciously, have abandoned both republican
unity and the republican mission, and are in
capable of victory."
METHODIST BOOK CONCERN TROUBLE
Meeting of (he Book Committee Tne
Trial of Dr. Lnuthtn to Proceed.
At a meeting of tbe committee held on May
27th, a series of resolutions were adopted by a
vote of 10 to 8, suspending Dr. John Lanaban
from the position of Assistant Book Agent
These resolutions also called for a speedy trial of
the various charges made against the accused,
and the 15th of June was set apart for that pur
pose. This decided action of the committee gave
promise that some definite settlement of this
seemingly endless muddle would soon be
reached, and the proceedings of tbe meeting of
the committee to be held to-day were anxiously
awahed by the members of the Methodist de
nomination generally.
The committee met at lOo'clock this morning,
Mr. Cyrus Brooks in the chair. Messrs. J. 11.
Moore and G. W. Woodruff were the only mem
bers absent The preliminary arrangements in
connection with the trial of Dr. Lanahan were
adjusted, and a long discussion took place, in
which m an v of the members Darticlpated. in
relation to the ad viability of admitting reporters
to tbe sessions of the court.
The committee met again at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and after debate it was definitely
settled that tbe investigation would begin
promptly at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. It
is tbe intention of the committee to bold the
present court nntil the entire subject at issue
lias been thoroughly investigated. js. l. fosi,

A GREAT CALAMITY AVERTED.
I low the Ma who wnm Goto to Set the
PaclAc Ocmo db Fire was Disposed of.
Some tfme ago a man named Gregory Sum
merfield was murdered by being ptisbed from
the platform of a car on tbe Union Paclfio Rail
road at Cape Horn, and falling down a thousand
feet on to the rocks below. HummerSeld was a
man of extraordinary literary and scleuilfic at
tainments, and was always known before his
death as "the man with tbe secret." The only
person on the platform with him when he was
thrust down the precipice was Leonidas Parker,
a Sacramento lawyer of talent and excellent re
putation. He w8 twice tried for the murder,
and each time mysteriously acquitted. Re
cently he died, but left behind him an explana
tion of the whole transaction. A short time be
fore 8ummerueld'- death he came into Parker's
office, that being his first appearance in San
Francisco for a number of years, and told him.
that he had fathomed the mighty secret of
making water burn by means of a preparation
of potassium, which would separate the parti
cles and ignite the liberated oxygen, thus creat
ing and recreating its own force, and proceeding
nntil all the particles were destroyed.
Possessed of this terrible power, he demanded
tl, 000,000 to be raised in San Francisco, or he
wonld set tbe Pacific Ocean on fire, and let the
world take the consequences. Parker thought
himself dealing with a lunatic, and treated the
matter disdainfully, but offered to try one of his
potassium pills in a wash-bowl of water, which
skipped and hissed Wound as it always does,
and seemed about to expire, when a sharp ex-
filoslon took place, and, to his surprise, the
lquld blazed in lurid flames to the celling until
every drop was consumed. Deeming this worth
considering, he imparted the discovery, with
Snmmerfield's condition, to a leading backer, a
bishop, a chemist, two State university profes
sors, a physician, a Judge, and two Protestant
divines, who, with himself, witnessed the ex
periment on a grand scale in a mountain lake
ten miles from San Francisco. In fifteen
minutes every drop of water in the
poo was consumed, and the committee
became alarmed while Summerfield be
came importunate. Only a half million could
be raised at San Francisco, and something must
be done or the Pacific Ocean wonld roll billows
of flame instead of water. It was proposed to
attempt subscriptions in New York, when the
bishop rose and said that all that was child's
play, that nothing would satisfy the wretch,
and extermination was, under the circum
stances, justifiable. All coincided, and Parker,
who knew the gorges and windings of the Pacific
Road, was chosen as humanity's avenging
angel. In tbe conclusion of his document he
says: "I selected Cape Horn as the best adapted
to the purpose, and the public
knows the rest. Having been fully acquitted '
by two tribunals of the law, I think this final
appeal to my fellow-men throughout the State,
and ask them confidently not to reverse the
Judgment already pronounced."
EXCITEMENT AT CHATTANOOGA.
, Fearful State of Affairs. .
The latest accounts from Chattanooga are to
the effect that tbe excitement in that city in refe
rence to Stanton and his road has in no way
abated, and continues to rage with furious in
tensity. Many of the business houses are closed,
and others, it is thought, will close. The em
ployees of the Alabama and Chattanooga road
are in a state of demoralized monocracy. Tne
maledictions against Stanton aredeep, bitter,
and wide spread. He Is in the city, and avers
that others, and not himself, are to blame for
the unfortunate state of affairs. Tbe people
look to him to make this averment good, and
avow a determinatian to hold him to a fearful
accountability in case he does not do so. As
tne Monday nignt train came up from Chatta
nooga at Wauhatchle, at the junction of the
Nashville and Chattanooga with the Alabama
and Chattanooga road, there were several hun
dred infuriated men, yelling and cursing as the
train passed, saying witn blustering oaths "yon
can run on that road (meaning the Nashville
and Chattanooga), but you can t ran on this"
(meaning the Alabama and Chattanooga). The
Chinese in Chattanooga are indignant. They
say that according to their contract (16 a month
in coin) tney nave earned twj.ow, all or wmcn
they will willingly sacrifice if Stanton will take
them back where they came from, to San Fran
cisco. The worst feature in the case is that a hun
dred miles below Chattanooga there are hun
dreds of laborers, composed if whites, Chinese,
ana negroes, some ox them witn famines, among
the swamps and in a starving condition. Their
situation ts represented as being pitiable in the
extreme. There is no means of conveying them
food or rations except by the road, and the
maddened employes have possession of that
and positively refuse to allow the trains to ran.
For this state of things there Is a fearful retribu
tion in store for somebody.
AWFUL TRAGEDY.
A Brother and Sister Sbot Dead. y '
The St. Louis Hevublican of the 14th has the
following: .
lne usual quiet oi Jenerson City has been
disturbed by a tragedy which occurred on Sun
day evening, resulting In the death of Mrs. Berry
ana aer nrotner, nonus.
1 here was a German picnic on the outskirts
of the town on Sunday afternoon, which was
attended by tbe above-named parties. On re
turning to the house of Mrs. Berry, it is said
that an altercation occurred between iloOus,
tbe brother of Mrs. Berry, and Mr. Schlrenberg,
tbe editor of the Fortschrit, a German weekly
newspaper.
Schirenberg, it is stated, had been paying
some attentions to the widow, but whatever
was the cause of tbe quarrel, the widow stepped
in between the parties to stop the difficulty,
and she received a pistol sbot iu her side aimed
by her brother at Schlrenberg. Her brother, in
a moment of desperation, seeing what he had
done, rusbed up stairs and shot himself, dying
instantly from the effect of the wounds in the
bead.
A verdict was rendered that deceased came to
bis death from a pistol shot fired by his own
hand. Three of the jurors. Including the fore
man, refnsed to sign the verdict, but as the
body needed burial, on the score of humanity
tney signea it nnaer proieni.
Tbe result of the verdict did cot satisfy the
community, as it was toought by some that tbe
manner of Iloflus' death was open to doubt. A
bullet had lodged in the wall near where the
body was lying, and there was a mark showing
that another bullet bad glanced off. How Ilo
flus could have fired the shot which made this
mark waa the Question.
The citizens were in a high state of excite
ment, and the same Jury was summoned to ex
amine the case over again.
KENTUCKY SILVER MIXES.

There is a mysterious whispering among some
of the knowing ones in regard to a lost silver
mine which, It is asserted, has been recently

long after the death of tbe first the survivor
started on a trip to New Orleans, and on his
way thither was drowned, taking the secret to
the bottom of the Mississippi with him. It is

TUE WAR FESTIVAL AT BERLIX
Programme of Arrangements A. Grand
and Historical Pageant. .
Sir in (May 31) Corrttpendtiic London TimM,
Military and municipal preparations for the
entry of tbe army into Berlin are in full pro
gress. Tbe troops detailed for this triumphal
procession are the Prussian Guards, some South
ern detachments, and five out of every regiment
tbat has taken part in the campaign. The
troops will be quartered in tbe towns and Til
lages near Berhu, and mike their first appear
ance in the capital only on the festal day. At
tbelr bead the Emperor will have the
satisfaction of patting the gate and ridlug
down tbe Via Triumphalia, to be con
structed in honor of the occasion. All
the way, from the Tempelbof Feld to
tbe Palace they will pass between two rows of
cannon taken from tbe enemy, and varied here
and there by gigantic trophies, composed of
gun-barrels and flags. No less than 2000 pieces
have been placod at the disposal of the munici
pal authorities for this purpose. A perfect
forest of French standards and eagles will pre
cede the victorious arm-, in addition to which
many of the enemy's colors will be carried be
fore tbe regiments which have taken them. At
the Brandenburg gate, with its famous portal,
the Emperor and the returning warriors
will be received by civic deputations, and
more aermanicobj 100 young ladies in white,
strewing flowers and distributing laurel wreaths.
WItbin the gate, in the Pariser Platz so called
after the first capture in 1813-platforms will be
erected for the accommodation of no less than
13.CC0 persons. Other platforms are to be placed
In the Ascanische Platz, in the Waterloo Quay,
and in divers localities. If present intentions
are adhered to, the equestrian statue of his Ma
jesty's father will be inaugurated on June 17,
the day after the entry, the 18th being set apart
for tbe thanksgiving in the churches.
In and out of Germany the revival of the em
pire continues to elicit demonstrations of joy
and gratified pride on tbe part of her patriotic
sons. Oaks are being planted in commemoration
of the event Busts of the leading statesmen are
pnt up, and swords presented to the most dis
tinguished among the many distinguished gene
rals of the war. At the same time the most
heterogeneous presents are pouring in npon
Bismarck, Moltke, Werder, and their associates
in the great war. The quaintness of these gifts
in many Instances proves tbe deep impression
made even npon simple country folk. A re
nowned poet composes an epic expressly for the
pernsal of tbe Emperor. A country squire in Frisia
confers npon the leading statesman of tbe age a
wagon load of hams, all vouched to be cured on
his own estate. To Moltke comes a hogshead
of eau-de-cologne from an enthusiastic admirer
on the banks of the Rhine, and, if I am not
mistaken, an extravagant Pomeranian has gone
the length of sendlBg a barrel of herrings to
some other worthy in token of his grateful
recognition of bis deserts. That addresses have
not yet entirely subsided is a matter of course in
mis vocal age. unly tbe otber day tbe Munich
Town Council sent a long telegram to the Em
peror Informing him that an Imperial oak has
Deen solemnly planted in their capital. The
Germans in New York have once more offered
their congratulations to the Berlin Parliament,
accompanied by assurances of their endurtne
sympathy with the land of their birth. Other
communications of a similar character are con
stantly arriving, and naturally elicit replies in
tbe same strain. The Emperor's answer to tbe
Munich Town Council was especially gracious, -thanking
them in the warmest terms for "cele
brating In so suggestive a manner tbe restitu
tion of the empire in the capital of one of the
strongest of iu component Slates."
A SII00T1MJ AFFAIR.
A Colored Justice of the Peace Probably
Fatally Wounded by a Government
Clerk.
Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, great
excitement was occasioned among the people in
the vicinity by the shooting of O. B. S. Wall, a
colored Instice of the peace, by Captain M. L.
Davenport, a clerk in the office of the Second
Auditor, xt appears trom tbe statement ot the
wounded man that some days ago a Mrs. Wright,
an employe of the Howard University, called
on Wail and said that she had purchased a
stove from a clerk named Davenport, in the
Second Auditor's office, for 110, and that it was
not what he had warranted, as it would not
bake bread, and she wished to obtain redress.
Wall said tbat perhaps he could arrange the
matter, and called on tbe appointment clerk of
the Second Auditor's office, and stated to him
the circumstances. iavenport was sent for,
and a conversation occurred between hlta and
Wall, which resulted in the agreement of
Davenport to take back the stove.
Subsequently, Davenport called on Wall near
his ollice, and said that he had determined not
to take back the stove. Wall saw Mrs. Wright
afterwards and advised ber to see the Secretary
of the Treasury about tbe matter, which she did,
in company with anotner woman, and a stormy
interview occurred on the same occasion be
tween her and Davenport, who had been sent
for as before.
Davenport, yesterday afternoon, walked Into
the office ot Justice of the Peace Wall, and,
drawing a seven -shooter, fired two shots at him,
one of which took effect in the abdomen about
an inch and a half to tbe right of and just below
the navel. The parlies In the ollice at the time
immediately knocked Davenport down, cutting
him severely, and he was taken to the station
house near at hand and locked up.
Wall was taken to his home, on Seventh
street, above tbe Boundary. Oflicer Robert
French soon succeeded in obtaining the atteud
aiice of physicians, aud Dr. Hooert Reyburn
dressed Wall's wound, but did not give an
opinion as to whether it would prove fatal,
though be said tbe affair looked ngly.
Davenport, when arrested, had evidently been
drinking, but would make no definite state
ments as to the motive which prompted the act
Tbe physicians, having been unable to find
tbe ball, are unwilling to express any opinion as
to Wall's chances for recovery, although they fear
the worst. Washington fatriot, yesterday.
TEUUANTEFEC CANAL.
Communication from Minister Nelson A
surface Route llacovered.
Translated rom th IHario OJlvial of May 10.
Department or FoBEiQHArpai as, Leoition
of the United States,Mexico, May 1, 1871.
Sir: I have received a communication from
Captain K. W. Shufeldt, dated at Minatitlan
April 19, which contains the gratifying intelli
gence that a practicable surface caaal route has
been discovered across the Isthmus of Tebuaute
pec by the surveying expedition under his com
mand. This route begins at the mouth of
Goatzacoalcos river, on the north passes,
through Tarila at the summit, and terminates
probably at Salina Cruz, on the Pacflc. Tne
canal will be about one hundred and ten miles
long, exclusive of rivers aud lagooat utilized,
an will require a "feeder" of thirty miles in
length. The water will be taken from tbe "Rio
Cone," at a point where an abundant supply.can
be obtained at ehs proper elevation.
Captain Shufeldt, on the eve of his departure
from the isthmus, requested me to convey to the
Federal Government of Mexico his warm ap-
Ereciatlon of iu hospitality, and also to express
is hope that the favorable result that has been
attained, in harmony with tbe Mexican Com
missioners, who have joined his party In some
of tbelr most arduous explorations, will prove
satisfactory, and in tbe end redound to the
material advancement of Mexico.
I need scarcely add that in these expectations
and good withes I most cordially join.
1 have the houorto remain, with great respect,
your obedient servant, Thomas 11. Nelson.

THE rOLARIS AT NEW T0UK.
Proposed Reception to Captain Hall by tho
American Ueoyraphteal Society,
The Polaris arrived from Washington yester
day morning, after a floe passage of four days.
Bbe bauled into tbe Navy Yard. Brooklyn, at
balf-psst 7 A. M., where she will remain till
ready for starting northward. Tbe little craft
(400 tons) seems in every respect fitted for tbe
expedition, unless, Indeed, that her rig (that
of a topsail scbooner) ba too light.
The propeller is what is known as an auxiliary
screw, capable of belug hoisted out of tbe water
nben sufficient headway may be made under
canvas; tbereby, too, economizing fuel, and pre
venting tbe screw from being broken by the ice.
Bbe is, besides, provided with aa apparatus, by
ibe aid of which wbale oil may be safely used
instead of otber fuel. Those of the crew who
have accompanied former expeditionists to the
North Pole epeuk bitfhly in praise of tbe prepa
rations made by Captain Hall and most hope
fully of bis discovery of the long-aought-for
Northwest passage.

Friday, June 16,1871. f
The Philadelphia money market presents to-day
tbe same general features as heretofore so
often noticed. The amount of funds seeking
temporary and permanent employment is some
what diminishing, but it Is still largely in excess
of wants, and the rates of interest and discount
are very liberal to all eood borrowers. We
quote call loans at 45 per cent, on acceptable
collaterals, and at 66 per cent, on the higher'
grades of business paper.
Gold is quiet and steady, with sales ranging
from 112112, closing at the former.
In Government bonds there is not ranch
doing, and prices continue firm.
Stocks were dull, and prices about steady.
Bales of State 6s, 1st series, at 103X; second do.
at 107: and City 6s, new bonds, at lOO.
Beading Railroad was active and strongf
sales at 68 6658 69; Pennsylvania was dull and
weak, felling 61C1. Small sales of Phila
delphia and Trenton at 128: Lehigh Valley at
62C2X: Northern Central at 41; and Nesque
honlng at 54.
Canal stocks were quiet but steady.
In tbe balance of the list the only tale was
Thlrteenthl and Fifteenth Streets Railroad
at 24. .
