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

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

THE work goes bravely on. The of

shows a still further reduction of the
Public Debt, daring the month of July,
over Seventeen Millions of Dollars,—

perheads stubbornly maintained-Ist
that the Rebels couldn't he whipped;

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

Tz Republicans of York !county
have determined to put no ticket in the
field this fall, but to unite with indepen

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. .

This reduces the outstanding principal
of the coin debt by . that amount.

Sheridan at the head of that class of
generals who win their laurels by the
wanton destruction of private property.
We doubt if he will find anything in
European warfare that will exceed in
horror the barbarity which desolated the
Virginia valley in 1864.,,

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

THE Democratic aspirants for the

troops on Monday left Rome. Orders have
been isued in Paris that the private pro
perty of citizens of Germany shall be re.
spected.in France as it is respected in the
former country. A Florence despatch says
that negotiations between France and
Italy have been brought to a satisfactory
conclusion. Italy guarantees the preserve
tion of order in Rome, and the French
evacuate the city. A ,Paris despatch cor
roborates the above, and adds that the
Pope has been advised to leave Rome, but
has concluded to stay there. A Vienne
despatch represents that Austria and Italy
have settled upon a treaty which insures
their neutrality, but the provisions of the
treaty are not given. In both Rouses of

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.

places. 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. B.—The French represent
the capture of liaarbrucen as an aKiPort
ant victory, and claim to have taken 8,000
prisoners. ,Paris despatches say the posi
tion was strongly fortified, and captured
with but slight loss. The buildings in tht
town caught fire from the French artillery,
half the place was destroyed, and the in
habitants were compelled to leai , e: Na
poleon sent a Oespatch to Eugenie an
nouncing the result and complimenting the
Prince Imperial for his conduct, but says
nothing about the capture df prisculils.
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.-

ATTEMPT TO RELEASE A MUILDEBKR
FROM Iran GALLOW6.-ST. 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,

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."

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. I sejested that
perhaps some older citizen shood do the
work, but ez none uv em cool rite, I did
it, after wick we adjourned.
