INTENSE excitement has been pro duced in New York by the murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, a wealthy re tired broker of New York city, on Thursday night last, He was found murdered on Friday morning in his re sidence on 23d street, in the heart of the most fashionable part of the city, under the shadow of bth Avenue HoteL His two sons and two domestics slept in the house, and heard no noise, although the condition of the body and room showed that there must have been a protracted and terrible struggle between the mur derer and his' victim. The room 'was saturated with'blood, and the body hor ribly gashed ,and battered by an' iron bar, found close by next moraing.— One of the sons came in after 12 o'clock, Thursday night, looked in his father's room, and went to bed on an upper story. Next morning, about 6 o'clock, the,trona door was found open and. Mr. Nathan weltering in blood in his room. His pri vate safe was broken open, and several d'amond studs were missing from his shirt bosom. It seems that the house is peculiarly constructed, the floors and walls being built so as to deaden Sound, which accounts for the family hearing .nothilig of the struggle, Strange to say, the murderer left no traces—no tracks or blood-stairuli—to indicate how he got in or how he left the house. It is supposed, however, that.he managed to get in the house the preceding day and secreted-himself until the family badre tired. The high social position . ciP 4 the deceased—the fashionable location in which the murder occurred—and the niystery in which it is involved- hava produced unusual excitement. Rewards, amounting in the aggregate to $lOO,OOO, have been offered for the discovery of the murderer by the family, the- Mayor and members of the Stock Exchange, No member of the last Congress will be more missed in the next than Gen. Schenck, of Ohio, the industrious Chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means, to whose unremitting labor and I arliamentary tact thoicOuntry is largely indebted from the final passage of the Tax and Ta,riff and other important bills. He had announced, some time ago, his determination not to be a candi date for re-election, but the leading pa pers of his district, recognizing the im portance of retaining him in Congress, urged his re-election notwithstanding, and it Is probable that the nomination would have been unanimously tendered to him. Gen, Schenck, however, in a letter to the Dayton (Ohio) Journal, positively declines to be a candidate.— One of his reasons for leaving political life is given as follows: "I am constrain ed to remember that I owe it as a duty to myself, and to those dependent on me, to leave, while I am yet able to work, a service in which I can make no provi sion for future ease or support. I can not afford to remain in Congress. I must devote some time to my personal interests, and engage in some employ.. ment that will give a chance of my not being left embarrassed 1114 destitute of fortune when the swam fox labor shall have passed. TIM flap:ll4m State Central Com mittee will meet at Altoona on the 18th jest., to organize for the 411 Thete seems to be a pod deal of mis- Understanding relative to military boun ties, and it is to be hoped that one of the first acts of the next Congress will be to settle definitely the question. The Su preme Court of the United States has 44ecified that the Act of March 3, 1869, giving $lOO bounty to soldiers who en listed under the President's proclama tion of May 4, 1661, and who were hon orably discharged, whether they served two years or not, applies only to the forty regiments called for by that pro clamation.. The practical trouble is that eighty-two regirrients were accept ed, and the Adjutant General cannot designate the regiments to whichthe de cision applies, and the matter will have to go back to Congress. The only sole tion of the difficulty will be the Passage of an Act to give the bounty to all sol diers who enlisted under Chat proclama tion. The Second Auditor of the Treasury has issued a circular stating that no ac tion can be taken on claims for bounty under. the decision of the Supreme Court of Mgrch 14, 1870, until further legisla tion by Congress. Under the act of July 13, 1i370, the time for filling botint claims is extended tg January 13, 1871; soldiers who enlisted under the act of July 4, 1864, are not entitled to the un paid instalments of bounty under section one, act of March 3, 1869, unless their discharge certificates declare them dis charged by reason of expiration of term of service. No law granting bounty has been enacted since March 3, 1869, and the bill which passed the House atits re cent session granting eight and one-third dollars per month to each soldier during actual service did not pass the Senate, and therefore is not a law, as is general ly supposed. Tax Eebel elebent in North Carolina is giving a good deal of trouble. ,The lawlessness of the Ku-Klux in several counties, in repeated outrages on Union men and bold defiance of the law, in duced Gov. Holden to declafe these counties under martial law.. A number of arrests have been made and a serious conflict has arisen between the local Judicial authorities and the Executive. Writs of habeas corpus were sued out by the friends of the Ku-Klux, but Gov. Holden ordered the military to disregard them. The Supreme Court of the State was appealed to, but declined to in- terfere, whereupon, according to the Raleigh Standard, anonymous letters were addressed to the Judges threaten ing them with death. The Standard further says of this murderous Klan; "They not only threaten, but they do kill. They decree murder and it is done. And it is known that Governor Holden's death has been decreed. Assassins, who have been spotted, have lurked around his dwrzplace in this city to take his life. ditors and others in this. State have a • his murder. And had it not been for his friends, a vigilant police and his known personal courage, he would have been in the grave to-day." In 'view of the thieatening condition of things, and the importance of pre serving order at the State election, which was to have been held yesterday, (August 4,) Gov. Holden applied to the Preside& for aid, and ten companies of S, regulars were placed at his disposal, eight of them being artillery and two in fantry,and all of them armedwith Spring field breech-loading rifles. Before any troops were ordered to the State G ov. Hol den came qulaly to Washington, and in a long conference with the President and Secretary of War fully expliined the situation as he viewed it. Both these officers regarded it as essential that troops should be immediately despatch ed to prevent outbreaks, if possible, by the moral effect of their presence. or in case or actual trouble to be at hand to respond to requestA for aid from the civil authorities, Al} the reports are to the effect that the officers of these troops warmly endorse the course of Governor Holden, and will go as far in rendering aid as they possibly can, in accordance with law. EX-SECUETARY Seward, since his Mexican trip, has kept studied silence on political issues, On Monday, the colored people of Auburn, N. Y.,diad a celebration in honor of the ratification of the 15th Amendment. The protes sion halted in front of Mr. ISeward's residence, and in response to calls he made his appearance and congratulated them upon the great event, which, he said, guarantees internal peace and per petual integrity to the United States.— He stated his belief that the African race in the United States was not..as sured of the future so long as they are held in slavery or barbarism in any other part of the world, and advised his hear era, flfttlest they have been emanci pated, to work out the emancipation and • 'on of theitbrethrcn in the West Indi• . ;th America, aria in Africa. Armies nor navies were not needed for this great work; the school-hbuse and the Christian meeting-house were alone necessary. THE work goes bravely on. The of ficial Treasury statement of August 1, shows a still further reduction of the Public Debt, daring the month of July, over Seventeen Millions of Dollars,— The entire Debt, July 1, wa552,386,858, , 599.74, and on August 1, $2,369,824,476. r 00—decrease during the month, $17,034,- 1.W.74. During the Rebellion, the Cop perheads stubbornly maintained-Ist that the Rebels couldn't he whipped; 2d, that the D'34 couldn't be paid. As a necessary corollary of these proposi tions, "Greenbacks" would, like "Con tinental Money," be worthless. Gen. Grant, at Appomatoi Court-Houne, proved that the Copperheads were wrong in their assumption that the Rebellion could not be put down. He is now Proving that they were equally wrong in regard to Gimbacks ;ind the Public Ilebt. Tz Republicans of York !county have determined to put no ticket in the field this fall, but to unite with indepen dent Democrats in securing a reform in County officers. A good deal disaf fection, it is said, emits among the De mocracy by reaapn of the reckless mis management of the County finances.— In York, as in Adams, the petit has been going 'up with amazing rapidity, while tax-payers grumble over high taxes. So long as the County offices are run by irresponsible "rings," with various "axes to grind," high taxes and , wasteful expenditures of the people's money will continue. . SECRETARY BoutweU has ordered the destruction of $129,802,650 of United States bonds, heretofore purchased by htm for the Special and sinking fund, in conformity with the sixth section of the act for funding the national debt.— This reduces the outstanding principal of the coin debt by . that amount.

We doubt if he will find anything in European warfare that will exceed in horror the barbarity which desolated the Virginia valley in 1864.,, Copperhead hatred of the gallant sol 'dierawho helphed to crush the Rebel lion loses -none of its malignaacy by lapse of time. This brutal attack on one of the most gallant Generals of the War—to whom, next to Grant, we are largely indebted for the triumph of the Union arms—is but another evidence that Rebel sympathizers will never -for get or forgive those who withstood armed treason. THE Democratic aspirants for the Congres.4ional nomination in this district don't seem to like the look-out. One by one they are backing off the course.— Last week Mr. McSherry withdrew his name, and now it is officially announced that Judge Kimmell, of Chambersburg, declines to enter the race. As Coffroth is out of the question, this leaves the contest to Meyers of Bedford and Smith of Fulton, with the chances in favor of the former. THE Republicans of Franklin county on Tuesday nominated Thaddeus M. Mahon, of Chambersburg, for Assem bly; John Huber, of Chambersburg, for County Commlbsioner; Jacob Strickler, Guilford, for Director of the Poor; John Cressler, Southampton, for Auditor; and William H.

Common belief now as to the plan of campaign is that three armies will form at points from Saarbruck, southwards, the southernmost to advance on Strasbourg, the next on Nancy and the third to march on Metz, co-operating with the second.

CONFLICTING ACCO-lINTM CAPTURE OF WISSEMBOURG A VICTORY FOR THE PRUSSIANS There have been sundry small skirmishes between advanced parties of French and Prussians, but no battle up to Monday.— On Saturday morning a French detach ment attacked Saarbrucken, but were vigorously repulsed. The Berlin accounts claim that the advantage was decidedly with the Prussians, the French being in the largest force and yet losing' most heavily. The Paris Journals estimate the entire Prussian force in the field at six hundred and eighty thousand men, of whom two hundred thousand are in Schles wig and eighty thousand near Berlin. If the Prussians have in so short a time as sembled such an immense force, the hesi tancy of the French in attacking them is fully explained. The King of Prussia on taking command of the army issued an ad dress declaring that he is fighting for the honor of Germany, and *calling on the whole nation to rise as one man. Austria is reported to be making extensive pre parations to protect her neutrality. The bitter feeling in Germany against England, for an alleged infraction of neutrality in supplying France with coal and munitions of - war, still continues, whilst in England the popular feeling in favor of a decided policy against France shows increased strength. THE FRENCH EXPLANATIONS OF THE SE- CRET TREATY M. 011iver, the Blench Prime Minister, and Count Benedetti, late. French Ambas sador, have both made explanations in re lation to the secret treaty. M. Oliver sought an interview with the editors of the principal Paris papers, to whom he ex plained that the only proposition made to Prussia-was that of the Earl of Clarendon, on the part of England, for a general dis armament of the European Powers. He gave his word of honor that no other propo sition was made, and that Napoleon had rejected with disdain Bismarck's proposi tion for the absorption of Belgium. Count Benedetti's explanation goes more into de tail. He asserts that both before and af ter the war with Austria Bismarck made propositions looking to the absorption of Belgium by France as a compensation for the„aggrandixement of Prussia; that after the conclusion of the treaty of Prague he renewed these proposals, and during one of these conversations dictated to Bene detti the project of the secret treaty.— This, it is said, accounts for the hand writing, which Benedetti thus admitc. - - But it does not account for the fact of the draft of the treaty, written by the French Ambassador, having been left in Bis marck's possession. If Count Benedetti copied the treaty from Bismarck's dicta tion, obviously he did so for his own in- But this very copy, which in the nature of events he would have sent to Paris, still remains in Bismarck's hands. Such an explanation is so weak and improbable as to suggest the belief that the Count is willing now to assume the position of a careless and unskilful diplomat in order to relieve the Emperor from a damiging dilemma. He adds that the treaty, was promptly rejected by the French Govern ment. TILE PRUSSIAN VERSION Count Bismarck has also published a circular making a complete expose of what he claims to be the facts connected with the secret treaty. He asserts that ,before the Danish war France made overtures for alliance between France and Prussia for She mutual aggrandizement of each coun try. France then asked the restoration of the Luxembourg frontier of 1114, the ac quisition of - Saa.rburg and Landon, and a settlement of thee-boundary question on the basis of language. These overtures, in May, 1866, took the forte ,of a proposi tion for an alliance offensive and defensive —the manuscript original of which is in the Fehign Office at Berlin. This treaty provide 4 that its Congress of the'Powers assembled, Italy was to have Venetia, and Prussia the Duchies. If thelliCongress dis agreed, then an alliance was to be formed between France add Prussia, and the lat ter was to open war against Austria with in ten days. If no Congress assembled, then Prussia should attack Austria within thirty days after the ratification of the treaty. France was to join immediately in the attack, despatching three hundred thousand men across the Rhine within the first month. No separate treaty was to be made by either party with Austria. As the result of the war, Venetia was to go to Italy, Prussia was to select German territory at will for annexation, the num ber of inhabitants not to exceed eight million souls. France was to have a lib eral share of the Rhine provinces, and a military and maritime alliance was to be made between France and Prussia, to which Italy might become a party. This programme was rejected, Bisinarok as serts, in June,.1866, despite the urgency of France. There was then an incessant renewal of propositions, with modifica tions, sacrificing Belgium and South Ger many, but they were never seriously con sidered by Prussia. Again, after the fail pre of the attempt on Luxemboprg, Franco repeated her propositions with still more distinctness. These propositions were drawn up by Count Benedetti him self, and it is supposed not without the authority of the Emperor, as they were the same 'as had been made four years be fore. Count Biimark adds that if Prussia had acquiesced in the seizure of Belgium, France would soon have found another .R.eigium in Prussian territory. It must be admitted that this acootuit is much more definite and has a greater air of pro bability than the French explanations. IVACO/1270N OP WYO.

The feeling of the House was again strongly marked in favor of an enel getic policy. When Mr. Cardwell, Seem tary, proposed a vote for 20,000 additional troops and two millions sterling, he was warmly cheered. So was Mr. Gladstone when he told Hr. Stapleton that if colliers are chartered to attend the fleets of a bel_ ligerent to supply coal they will to all practical purposes and interests become storeships attached to that fleet. THE IFIRET BATTLE. • Tuesday's despatches bring intelligence of the first engagement of the war. Ac cording to a Paris telegram of Tuesday night, an official despatch was received there from Metz announcing that the French army had assumed the offensive that morning, crossed the Saar, invaded Prussian territory, and a serious engage ment had resulted, commencing at 11 o'clock and terminating at 1. The Frei;ch stormed the heights which overlook Saar bruck, and their artillery drove the Prus sians from the town, but whether it was occupied by the French or not, is not stated. The Emperor and his son were both on the field, and in the language of the despatch "assisted at the operations." Napoleon returned to Metz in the 'after neon. Both sides are liable to exaggerate the accounts of the first engagement, but of considerable importance to the French. On the other hand, the Prussians may have fallen back to draw the enemy furth er into the interior. Saarbrueic is about forty-five miles from Metz, and has been the scene of many important contests.— We have nothing from Prussian sources in reference to the battle. A despatch from Alayence states that King William arrived there Tuesday morning, with several members of his Staff, and had received highly satisfactory reports from the Prus sian army corps on the French frontier. GENERAL ITEMS. Quite au exciting debate took place in the English House of Lords Tuesday on the bill =pending the militia acts. Lord Russell said that England now required full defensive powers, stating that the in trigues and perils of the continent were due to the uncertainty as to the course that would be pursued by England. In his opinion Great Britain need only de mand the enforcement of existing treaties and Belgium would be saved. Earl Gran ville, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that whilst he was fully sensible of the obligations of England to Belgium, he considered it needless and injudicious to discuss the subject with such publicity.— The matter then dropped. In the House of Cosonunuf a proposition of the Gover nment to enlist twenty thousand additional troops met with COntiiderable favor, but no vote was reached. The evacuation of Rome by the French still continues, and Italy is concentrating an army on the Ro man frontier. South Germany is arming for the conflict. Russia denies that she will take advantage of the war to invadO the Danubian Principalities. A Madrid despatch says that the Ministerial Councii of the Spanish Government was debating a note received from Washington in regard to Cuba, in which the United States Government demands, among other things, indemnity for American citizens illegally expelled from that island. TUE LATmx DEEIPATC/128.. Loririox, Aug.

The Prusidan accounts,_ on the other hand, represent that a small detaclu:nent of troops at Saarbrrick was attacked by three columns of the French army, and after a sharp action the position was abandoned, the Prdssians failing bacir, the affair being a trifling one, with but sight loss on other side.- Fighting has been going on along the French and Prniuda frontier since Monday A grdt battle cannot Jong be postponed.

LOMB, July 30. —A serious riot occurred at Sbebyville, Illinois, yesterday. It was occasioned by the execution of Joseph Myers for the murder of Clebestx, Calhoun, two years ago. Hubbard Holden, who was to have been hanged with Myers for the same crime, had his sentence commuted on Thursday by Gov. Palmer, which created great indignation, as it was asserted that Holden planned-Abe murder and did the shooting. It was feared on Thursday night that the people would attack the jail and re lease Myers unless Governor Palmer sur rendered Holden to the gallows, but there was, a hill in the storm until yesterday morning, when the mob demanded that both men be hung or that we,— Palmer was velie mently denounced on every baud. The jail was guarded by one hundred armed men. While the preparations were being made to hang Myers several attempts were made to tear down the fence enclosing the scat fold, but the assailants were repulsed each time by the guards. Myers was executed, however, and ten minutes after the mob charged the fence in force and commenced tearing it down; but when they discovered it was too late to save Myers, they dispersed, swearing eternal enmity to Governor Palmer. But for conciliatory speeches by several leading citizens, bloobshed might have been the result. • IMPORTAaT DECISION.—The Pittsburg Chioniele says: The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Agnew delivering the opinion, recently decided that where a passenger being carried on a railroad train is injured without fault of. his own, there is prima fade a legal presumption throwing upon the railroad company the burden of disproving negligence. This; it is stated, is the rule when the injury is caused by a defect in the road, cars or machinery, or by a want of diligence. cor are in those employed, or by any other thing which the company can and ought to control as a part of its duty to carry pas. sengers safely. This rnle,however, is not conclusive, and the railroad inay rebut the presumption by showing that the in jury arose from an accident which the ut most skill, foresight and diligence could prevent, APPRORMATIONS BY CoSOREBB.—The following are the official figures of the ap propriations by the late session of Congress for the purposes named.

In ittairrorelawomes. Jilispittiels Hundred, the or Delaware July 1818;11 s The peopl uv the State uv Delaware, or rather 4e Democriay uv Delaware, come neererp my idea uy wat Dimocrats ought to bethan any I hey ever come across yit. The Kentuckian is good, but I hey seen Kbrituckians who wuz restless and disconthitod. I hey knowed uv Ken tuckians whei did take stock in raihroads, who did now!and then nail up the clap boards on their houses which bed becom loose, and did wear shoes in summer. But no Dint rat us , Delawer wuz ever knowed to do i anything nv the kind. They are a intense frellgous people, with a faith in Providence wich I never saw surpassed. They bleeve; that the same Providence wich brat ens into this world will take keer uy em, 4nd they let him do it with easinis and abandon wich to me is delite ful. The most satisfyin spectacle my eyes ever restid onto is the front porch iiy Sapp's grocery at this present time. There they set, leanin back on them un whittled chairs (no Delaware Dimocrat over whittles,') with their feet onto the mil in front uv em, each with his head layin flatwise on the wall, and all fast asleep. All is still! The flies buzz peacefully about their noses, which ornaments them by their joocyness, but repel 'em by their red-hot brilliancy. Like every thing else about this section flies is an undecided lot. But ever and anon one fly, more hungry than his fellows, lites on the nose uv some slumberin patriarch; he bites; the Saint makes an exertion to brush him off and awakes. Awakin, he takes a drink which awakes the rest, who also takes a drink, after which they go to sleep agin. Sapp loves flies, and sez he's makin ex periments for a livelier breed, a more danin and enterprisin fly which 'll keep 'em awake more ny the time. Uv corse we .heyn't got no railroads.— There wax one projected thro' this section but the citizens was horrified at the idea. "Wat!" sed they, "steel we hey a screech in ingin to keep us from hevin our reglar afternoon and forenoon nap? Never!" "But," sed the projectors, "it'll increase the valyoo uv yoor real estate." "Reel war?" asked these innocents. "Reel estate—land." "Wat good wood that do us;" replied the sturdy yeomandry, "when nobody wants to sell? And they wood hey stoned' the rail-road party, had it been a cool day so that the exertion of gettin the stones woodcut hey worried em. Bill Snapp wuz so pleased at the spirit they showd that all that day he kept the flies off uy them hisself which they did ez soon ez the railroad party wuz out uv site. I notist one uv em a layin on the broad uv his back, the other day, a swallerin oysters wich a nigger boy wuz openin. "Sammy," ties thin youth's parent to him, the old man lying on his back the while, "Sammy, its a merciful arrange ment that oysters aint got no legs. aint it, Sammy ?" "I don't see that," sed Sammy, "ef they bed legs ther'd be more meat onto them." "Yes, but my son," returned this anci ent, "ef they bed legs and shoed yoOse them ever so little we'd never bait an. oys ter." 1114934,346 40 /83,216,219 01 3,282,14 34 . wog.= 5406,831.372 43 We are ez Um!: ez we kin be arrangin for the campagne this fall. We lied a meet in at the county meet yesterday, reorgan izin the party on a broader basis, so that the conservative Republikins who feel out raged that a naturally inferior race hez bin put onto a level with em kin co-oper ate with em. The meetin laid till late in the evenin, but it wuz intensely interestin thrngtiout—b,d.d I may say that it waa a trooly refresnin season.., , , We adopted a platform embracing the fOtierin idees: • 1. The eniancipashnn uv the niggerwuz an outrage agin with we protest and with 1 we demand to be reversed before it is everlastingly too late. 2. The nigger iz an inferior beim and does not possess the intelligence rekesit to a proper yooee nv the ballot. 3. The attempts uv the disturbin Radi kels uv Delawure to agolishin the - whppen post fill us with intense alarm, it beiu a land-mark. 4. The clamor uv the disturbi II lladikels uv Delaware for free skoobi is blow at Demokrisy, and is jest ez aiarnsez their demand to do away with the whippen post. In the ensooing campagne the "White Man's Party - will bear onto their banners the following inscriptions: No nigger votin —The ballot in the hands uv the intelli gent race—No free skools--The whippin post forever—The constootion ez it wuz, Delaware ez it is, forever." I made the regular skriptoral argyruent, interdoosin Canaan, Hager and Onesymus, with, however, didn't hey ranch effect, ez none uv them bed been! nv these frai -1 vidooals. I wuz disconcerted somewhat when wun uv em askt me of Canaan wasn't one uv them ouasid Ilachi t ek s in Wilmington. Bill Sapp, however, got their attenshun, when he mentioned the fact to show their entire worthelesaness ez citizens, that the entire nigger trade at his bar didn't amount to a hundred dollars 1 a year, wick wuz less than any one uv the proud Caucashen race expendid with him. Mordky Bender bore testimony to the alarmin ignorance pervadin among em, wick totally unfits em to to the ballot, af ter wick I wuz rekested by the meetim to put the resolutions passed onto paper, ez the Sekretary coodent rite.
