What the P1%1138111118 Will Find at Paris.
PARIS, Sept. 2.—The alarm created by the
Ministerial announcement, a week ago, that
the Prussians bad resumed their advance
upon Paris, suggested the proposition to
remove the seat of Government into the
provinces. Although invested with no of
ficial authority, it seems certain that the re
port rested upon a Ministerial decision, to
be acted upon ineaseof need. The Cab
inethas no sinecure at this time, and, al
though its deliberations aro secret, many
facts leak out, in consequence of the impos
sibility of reticence when subordinate of
ficials have to be employed to set investi
gation on foot or to prepare the way for
particular changes. There is 110 doubt
whatever that, at a recent meeting of the
Council, the question was seriously dis
cussed whether, in the event of the Prus
sians besieging the metropolis, the great
administrations which together consti
tute the machinery of government should
not be retneved from the scene of action.
At the time the Crown Prince's army
was so rapidly approaching Paris that, up
on 11.11, urgency vote, the resolution was
adopted to constitute certain provincial
cities the seats of administrations should
the event justify the alternative, Bourges
being the great center or the military es
tablishments of France, was fixed upon as
the seat of the :qinistry of War, of Foreign
Affairs, and the Corps Diplomatique, while
Tours would Leisure that of the Minister
of the Interior and the Treasury. It was
considered desirable not to separate the
Corps I)iplernatique from the Foreign Af
fairs, in order not to interpose difficulties
of intercourse with the headset' the depart
ment. Thu Ministers of the Marine and
the Colonies, of Justice, of Public Works,
of Continent°, and Public Instruction,
would remain in Paris. The decision
went so far into details as to result
in the acceptance of the Palace of Jean
C....lir—enured by the municipality of Boer
ges—for the Mlicial residence of the War
Minister, and the Hotel or the Prefecture
for that of the Foreign l‘linister. Both eili
flees have historical associations —the for
mer, in coon action with the more striking
incidents in the career of the remarkable
man who inhabited it; the latter, as the
seat of the tribunals of thifirge,t before the
groat revolution. Iu one of the vast halls

-which the pragmatic sanction was drafted

On Friday last Gorr nisgroes were hung

the murder of Mr. Josiah (;ray. The
names of the culprits were Peter Newby,
Jaeob IVnl Ltrr, Moses Newby, and Henry

It appears that A fl'reil Itunkley, the leader
of thoturned State's evidence, and
thus escape d punishment. From a 1101101 rd
111'00111a 01' 010 execution in the Richmond
Whig we extract the ft ii lowing :
At quarter to one 11 . 1•10ek the prisoners
were brought out of jail and conducted to
the stiatfold. Reaching the platform they
made brief speeches, warning the crowd
against bad company and the use of intox
icating liquor, which they allege hail
brought them to the gaiiilloA.
'rho executioner, at the (dose or their re
marks, placed black caps over their heads
and adjusted the ropes, when they broke
out into the wildest supplications, praying
Heaven for mercy. The two auxiliary props
were removed ILL one o'clock, immediately
after which the 111:011 prop was knocked
front beneath the drop, wilco, with IL terri
ble crash, that sent a shudder through the
crowd, two of the criminals were precipi
tated to the earth by the breaking iit the
ropes. 'file middle men, however, re
mained suspended in the air, but the ex
citement WiLS intensified by breaking of
two of the stn.; or the rope around the
neck of Moses Newby. Here the crowd
without rushed for the door of the jail-yard
with a yell, but were fn reed back and pre
vented from entering, by the coolness and
nerve or the sheriff's guard. The middle
criminals, though dairgling in the air, had
only fallen three feet, and the neck of neith
er was broken. 'rile discovers of this fact
created the wildest confusion and the most
intense excitement among those within the
yard, and the prayers of the two poor
wretches who had gained a temporary re
spite by the breaking of the ropes mingled
with the oaths and Imprecations the ex
cited 111011,
TllO bodies of moSt`,l Newby and Poston
were left hanging seventeen mien tes, and
all this time the other two men were left
standing beneath the seatfold Witnessing
the terrible tortoise through which they
were soon to pass. Life being declared ex
tinct, at the expiration of the period named,
the executioner walked 11p011 the platform
and severed each of the ropes to wjrieh the
bodies of the two men were lataelled, pre
cipitating, them in rapid succession at the
feet of the other two trembling wretches.--
The hangman then jumped on the ground,
and, seizing the ropes still on their !leeks,
dragged them to their coffins and placed

* The drop was hastily put in position, and
the rentaining two trembling criminals,
more dead than alive, led upon the scaffold
and placed ill the identical position of those

the drop again full, and the bodies strug

Vote Jourselfa Farm in Arkansas.
The land gnostical is receiving earnest
SonsideratiOn in Arkansas. The State has
nearly two millions of acres of swamp lands
donated to it by Congress. These lands be
long to the people: The Brooks-McDonald
party proposes to donate these lauds to the
colored citizens. It is a strong card for their
votes, and has already won the greater por
tion of the American citizens of African de
scent to their side. This class of citizens
clearly understand the principle involved
in "voting yourself a farm," and the pros
pect is that they will all "vole" that way.

An Argument That Will Not Apply. I
A favorite argument with those members
of Congress who desire to retain their seats
is based on the policy which the people of
the South formerly pursued, before the
negroos and carpet-baggers had taken pos
session of the governments of Southern
States. Dull mediocrity. which had suc
ceeded in securing a nomination and elec
tion, appeals to the people to be returned
to Congress because the Southern people
were in the habit of keeping members m
their seats for many successive terms. But
the South pursued this course only with
statesmen on whose devotion and ability it
could rely. Tho incompetent and faith
less were soon sent back to private life
to meditate over their mistakes. John
Covode, who from a patristic key-hole
observer and investigator has develop
ed into a cadet pedlor, successfully appeal
ed for years to the example of the South in
repeatedly electing its ablest mon. Now
Dickey of Lancaster insists that ho must go
back to take care of the forty cent nickel
duty. Morrell must be returned that-be
may watch over the interests of the ring of
the Bessemer stealers. Cessna, in his dou
ble capacity of the attorney and member
of Congress, has been pushing through a
fraudulent mail claim, and he, of course,
must be returned to finish up that job.—
Negley and Id'Carthy niustbe re-elected to
take care of the salt and other kindred mo
nopolies. These aro the men who iin
pudently appeal to the people of the
North to use in their behalf the Southern
rule under which Clay, Calhoun, McDuflie,
Benton, and other great statesmen of the
past were sent to Congress. The Covodes,
Cessnus, Morrells, and Dickeys go to Con
gress for the pay of $5,000 a year, and to
make money out of all sorts of jobs that
aro originated in a lobby teeming with cor
ruption and infamy. The great represen
naive men of the past watched over the
public interests, and never contaminated
themselves with the evil schemes with
which these men are familiar.. Each one of
them has his favorite job, which, with the
pay, prompts his desire for a seat in Con
gress. 'flue interests of the people are the
last objects of his attention and solicitude.
All of them belong to rings for the advance
ment of private schemes for plundering the
public. Yet they modestly demand that
they shall be again and again re-elected to
Congress, in iminitation of the example of
the South in earlier and better days. A
good rule could not possibly have a worse
:ipplication than is ruado of it fur the bene
fit of sueh representatives as Morrell, KW
inger, I 'oasis, and hickey.—Hurri.shary

Jews ate their Easter Lamb and celebrated

April II was identical with Nisan 14 of the
Jewish calendar, which, moreover, was on
a Friday, the Paraskerce, or day of prepa

the Hebrew Talmud. Thus, by the uni

THE MAINE ELECTION
Splendid Democratic Gains—Progreaa
of the Political Revolution.
Democrats of Maine, we salute you with
pride and with satisfaction ! You acc...om
plished a noble work at the polls yesterday.
Without the prestige of victory, without
organization, and without money, you met
the dominant party flushed with the pride
of long continued success, fortified with
unstinted means, and armed with thous
ands of offices, and succeeded in not only
maintaining your ground, but in driving
the enemy back with great loss: The Re
publican majority of twenty-seven thous
and, which that party had in 1866, has been
steadily whittled down until, according to
our figures, it will now be less than five
thousand—a gain of more than eleven
thousand the present year.. At this rate,
one more trial and the State will not only
be redeemed, but show a handsome footing
upon the right side.
In 1869 the united Republican vote gave
them some 16,000 majority over the Demo
crats. The most sanguine Republicans
claim only some 6,000 majority as the re
sult of yesterday, and we concede them
less than 5,000, and we have certainly made
a Democratic gain of over 16,000 votes in the
State. We also gain ono county, probably
( Lincoln), and numerous representatives to
the Legislature. Mr. Lynch is elected to
Congress in this district by about 1,000 ma
jority, though he claims to have 1,500. ills
loss from 1668 will be about 1,200.
With the meagre representative returns
at hand it would be unwise to venture any
opinion upon the strength of Chamberlain
or Morrill for the United States Senator
ship, but it looks that the Democrats will
hold the balance of power if the contest is
carried beyond the caucus. Bangor did
nobly, riot only overcoming the great radi
cal majority there, but giving General
Roberts a majority of over six hundred and
electing three Democratic representatives.
Lewiston, Auburn and Biddeford also
make a fine exhibit, and Portland elects
two Democratic represen tali ves.—Portland
...I rypts of Thesday.
The German element appears to go
strong for Huffman. The Germans always
did like him, anyhow—partly because of
his Teutonic extraction, though it dated
ever so far Inick, but principally because
they relished his straightforward manner
of doaling with things. The Germans like
plain talk, followed by consistent, manly
action. They have found both in Hoffman,
and hence they adhere to him as their can
didate for re-election. The Democratic
Club of the Fourteenth Assembly district
at a late ineetin , passed a eerier of resolu
ono of which heartily endorses Guy
ens, lhanian for re-election, as follows

greater and higher honors at the gift of the

sentiment has changed since it has be
come manifest that it is a free republic and
not a despotic imperialism that the King of
Prussia is lighting; that it is the liberty of
the people and Democratic principles
which are ruthlessly assailed, and not a
fraudulent dynasty which has passed away
into exile. Tito sprat which the radicals
threw out to catch a mackerel has therefore
become stale bate and will not allure any
fish to the hook. :kJ eantiine it must be oh

This is a grim total--but it does not em

the losses incurred by the Prussia!ns in
any of the sieges now in progress, nor the
deaths in hospital from the manv diseases
prevalent among soldiers in camp and
field, which cannot altogether be less than
one hundred thousand. If these estimates
are anywhere near accurate, the total
killed and disabled on the Prussian
side alone cannot be less than a
quarter of a million of !nett. The
French losses, of course, must be propor

I 'oder the above caption the Philadelphia
Ledger discourses thus in reference to the
outrageous conduct of the Radical majority
of the Board of Aldermen:
The Board of Aldermen :It their last
meet
ing but one, unanimously agreed that the
minority in the Board should select the
election °facers to which their party is en
titled by law. That action of the Board seas
approved by every fair-minded man. At
the last meeting of the Board this unani-
, . .
moos Oeeltiloll was reconsidered by a Ina
jority.of two. This last WILS all ill-advised
proceeding, contrary to the principle of the
law under which the Board is acting, and
very impolitic. The act of assembly
which gives to the Board of Alder
men their election flowers is one o
the very few laws which recognize po-
Meal parties. It recognizes them in
way which leaves no doubt ut the isles
ion ut the law to give both the majority
. _ .
party and the minority party each its due
proportion of the election oilicers, and this
intention is defeated by any device which
Lakes front either party the choice of its
own officers. The intention or the law was
fairly executed by the first and ma n tilla us
decision of the Aldermen, and when the
majority united in that decision, they did
the right thing in a manly and honorable
way. They ought to let it stand. Their
first duty is to execute the last in the inter
est of the whole body of voters, Ileeordin ,
to its spirit and intent, without regard
the interest of candidates. There can
no fairness, no
,justice, no honor, and Sri
permanent success, in depriving, one-had
of the voters of Philadelphia of their right
to such representation in the hoards o

LONDON, Sept- 20.—The Times, in its edi

lion of the Franco-Prussian difficulties,
declares that if pacific intentions do not ex

Shooting of Thomas Dviolitte by Job
NEw 'ionic, Sept. 2U. Senn after eleven
o'clock, last night, Thomas Donohue, who
was brought prominently into notoriety as
the supposed assassin of Alderman Flor
ence Scannel, while walking along Third
Avenue in company with his cousins, Den
nis and Thomas Donohue, grocers, met on
Third Avenue near Seventeenth Street, a
. _
man with features partially concealed be
an old stenciled hat. As the stranger canto
- _
up to the party, lie raised his hand, and his
face being partially revealed, Donohue re
cognized hint as John Scannel, brother of
Florence. Before Donohue could utter a
word, Seannel discharged a Derringer pis
tol at him, the muzzle of the weapon being
within a few feet of Donohue's breast, when
he tired. The bullet entered the left breast
of Donohue, who fell to the pavement,—
The assassin turned and fled across the
Avenue. through Seventeenth Street, fol
lowed by the cousins of Donohue and some
citizens. The Sergeant and an officer of
the Eighteenth Precinct, on post near by,
also joined in pursuit, Seeing two men in
a light wagon, a short distance oil, driving
up Seventeeth Street, the officers overhaled
them, thinking Ono might be Sesunel; but
on coming up with them, the men prove ,
_ , ,
be utter strangers; but they had seen a
nan run rapidly along Seventeenth Street
iu the direction of Irving Place. In the
meantime the assassin disappeared from
the view of his pursuers, and their search
proved fruitless, The mitrilerer ran up
Seventeenth Street to Irving Place and seas followed, when fortunately i'or him, an en
thusiastic crowd of people came singing
atong,:drawing Mite. Nilson to her hotel
a earriage, - 'from e Mich the horses h:
been detached. The fugitive mingled with
these people and was snort lost to the sight
of his pursuers. In his flight he dropped
a tweed spring overcoat, brown wig, black
felt hat, both evidently new, red pocket
handkerchief with blue figured border.
The pistol, picked up, Was a Derringer,
capable of carrying a very large bullet.
Donohue was laallased to his residence on
East Eighteenth Street. Physicians were
summoned, whose opinion was that the
wound is exceeding dangerous. Judging,
from the direction taken by the ball, it is
believed to have passed through the left
lung. The hemorrhage is nut excessive,
however. Captain Cameron and Sergeant
Loony visited the Glenuan House, on
Twenty-Fourth: Street and Third Ave
nue, of which John Scannel is the lessee,
and was told by the wife of Scannel that he
was absent at the village Copake, on the
Harlem Railroad, for the past two months,
and she had not seen hint in that time. The
house of the parents of Scannel, on East
Twenty-Sixth Street, was then visited.
The mother said she had not seen John
since Florence's funeral, in June last.
Search is being made for the fugitive in
every part of the city.
Destructive Fires in Brooklyn

Works in Brooklyn, owned by Messrs.

totally destroyed by tire last evening. The
lire was discovered at nine o clock, after
which it rapidly spread to all parts of the

lighter loaded with crude oil, lying in the
canal in front of the refinery, was removed
without damage. The refinery contained
three immense wells tilled with oil, con-

ready for market, and several hundred
cans ready for shipment. The explosion
of these in rapid succession was heard a

Praying the Public Debt.
Still harping on my daughterr
The Republican press has already com
menced its monthly shout of hosanna to
Grant for his periodical reduction of the
public debt, and we shall shortly have the
official treasury figures paraded before us
as evidence that he has paid another enor
mous instalment. These who choose to be
gulled by such nonsense may, but reflecting
men will see the matter in another light.
The Republican party has been a swindle
and a cheat from its rise to the present day,
but in nothing has it more palpably dis
closed these villainous propensities than in
its monthly attempts to deceive the people
into a belief that Grant is paying the public
debt. With taxes upon everything; with
money from this source flowing by millions
upon millions into the treasury every
month, who, we should like to know, could
not pay off the public debt as rapidly as
Grant's administration is reducing it? If
Grant was reducing the debt at the rate - of
front six to fifteen millions monthly out of
his own pocket, his worshippers might
shout his praise, for he would deserve it.—
But as it is, he deserves no credit at all. He
can't help doing what he is doing in that
direction. The money from taxation wrung
from the labor and capital of the country is
every day stored away by hundreds of
thousands in the vaults of the treasury, in
excess of the appropriations for ordinary
expenses of the government, and it can bo
applied to no other purpose than the gradu
al extinguishment of the public indebted
ness. Grant can do nothing else with the
money. Away with such nonsense. It is
not Grant, but the People who are paying
the:debt, as they earn their broad in the
sweat of their facess.—Ham-rtsbiitg'"Patriot.

ebration.

In tho morning at 9 o'clock, the teachers,
scholars and friends, met in the church,
from which place they marched to the
grove a short distance from the village.
There were about ono hundred scholars in
procession, and the banners which they
carried were tastefully decorated by the
Reamstown ladies. As they marched into
the grove, the children sang: "We are
marching on with shield and banner
bright." A beautiful stand with comfort
able seats awaited the audience. The
Reamstown Brass Band enlivened the ex
ercises with charming music. Tho little
folks, led by the teachers, attracted marked
attention by the manner in which they
performed their part in vocal music. After
the singing of several hymns and prayer,
the superintendent gave a short history of
the school. He stated that it war only
about six months since it was organized,
and under the most embarassing circum
stances. He then introduced Rev. Mr.
Switzer, who addressed the school; after
which all resorted to another part of the
grove, where a large table had been
spread filled with cakes, pies, water
melons, ite. In the afternoon, Mr. W. W.
Wickle, teacher of the Bible class, made a
short address to the parents, telling them
what duty was involved upon them in re
gard to the Sunday School work. lie then
introduced the speaker for the afternoon,
Rev. Mr. Wagoner, who made a short ad
dress to the school. An announcement
was made that Rev. G. If. Trabert, of
Ephrata, would preach in the church in the

School. The children were expected to be
present. At the appointed hour in the
evening the church wag crowded. The
children occupied the gallery and sang in
stead cif the choir. Rev. Mr. Trabert
preached an interesting sernion,at the close
of which he made a few very appropriate
remarks to the children.
