Lancastev grtteftigencer. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1870 Meeting of the County Committee. As will be seen by a call publish ed elsewhere the Democratic County Committee will meet on next Monday. As business of decided importance will be transacted, it is to be hoped every member will be present. The Reform Movement As will be seen by a call which we publish elsewhere the independent voters of Lancaster county, without re spect to party, are called to meet in Con vention at Fulton Hall, on Saturday, October Ist, for the purpose of settling a ticket to be voted for at the coming eledtion. The need of reform in this county has been openly and\ freely ad mitted by every newspaper in it, with out regard to political preferences),-- There is not one of them which has not freely charged that corruption prevails. There is naturally, therefore, deep seat ed dissa'Usfaction with the course of events in the minds of very ninny of the more honest and intelligent men of the Republican party; and multitudes of them will refuse to obey the party at last. They believe what the newspapers of their own party Said before the nom inations were made, and are not to be satisfied afterward so easily us the edi tors of those papers seem to be. The in dependent movement now inaugurated is backed up by many of the very best and most intelligent Republicans in the rural districts. Should a ticket compos ed of honest and capable men be nom inated next Saturday, it will receive the Individual support of the Deliewratie party in Lancaster county. The National Deadheads \\le are informed that the House is being thoroughly renovate and adorned so as lo he !node a lit win ti residence for our aristocratic• Presider After his long abandonment of all o cares he is expected to return Washington some Limo in October tlte I Kcal papers graciously tell Its, the grave questions of the day will he discussed in l'aliinet meetings. The tiocretaries will get hack ghoul the saute time, and We \VW pily ' , Mlle Mill' attention to their departments. \Vitn \winter comes a round of entertainments and a full course of dissipation Will he entered upon, and,by the time the iloNvers of spring begin to open again, :ill the eltief piddle dignitaries will lie so ex hausted that they will be compelled to matte another start for the dilrerent watering places. Th,r, jolly a government in existence as tha which is now in power in this country It is not distressed by the cares o State, and SeCIIIA to be engrosse in the pursuit of plea,ure. Gran sets the example, and his Cahinet officers follow his lead. If the Presi dent desired to show the people how useless an appendage he is, he child not have taken a better plan than the ,me he has pursued. Two years more of such rule kill be amply sutiic•ient to convince everybody, except the office holders, that Grant ought to be dis pensed with altogether. Let him revel while lie can in all the delights and lux uries which cost him nothing. Ire will be a deadhead In another sense of the Ivan after March 4th, 1573. Grant and Tennessee Butler A special telegram, sent by the As eiatred Press from Washington to furent newspapers throughout the cot try says : By order of the government, the trial Congressman Butler, tit Tennessee, ha. liven transferred from the custody of th Pension Bureau to the Department of Jus Mai, and postponed till after the Tennesset election. Butler is a Elm tilt lat o Ctingres. from that State. The Pension Bureau state. that the delay is evidently caused by a to sire to relieve Butler of the stigma of trial. When this earpel-bagger WaS prove to have Hold his ealletship he Was nave from expulsion by the votes ,I 1 Congressmen. nee that time he In been arrested at the instance of the Uni ted Slat es authorities forllaVing cheated certain NvitloNys and orphans of Union soldiers out of the little pittance to which they were entitled, and for forging pen sion papers tor parties not entitled to the aid of the government, some of them being rebel soldiers.

Let that be re membered by the people. GRANT ha read Carl Schurz out of the Republican party. Senator Schurz has Doug been recognized as the leader o f the Germans iu the Western State... - Grant has hated hint ever since he op posed the ratification of the San Do mingo job, by which our greedy Presi dent and his friend:4 expected to make large RUMS of money. When Carl Sciturz seceded from the Radical State Con x 4 en- Lion of Missouri, a large majority of the delegates followed hint, and he isstrong er in that State to-day than I f rant and all his officeholders comlfilml. We con fidently expect to chronicle the com plete defeat of the administration, :Hui the final overthrow of Radicalism at the coming election in Missouri. TitH editor of the Imptircr insists that we have got the story about the squab ble between him and a prominent Re publican of Millersville, wrong end foremost, and declares that the difficul ty was occasioned by Ids charging the Millersville politician aforesaid, with having circulated a report that lie, the said editor of the Inquircr, altered some of the tally papers, &e. The editor grows irate exceedingly, and denies most strenuously that he ever was guilty o 2111 y such conduct. We stated what we heard, as we heard it from respectable sources, and we now give the editor o the Inquirer the benefit of his denial. We are always disposed to be courteous. 'Fugal.; was quite a row in the meet log of conferees to nominate a Senato in the Chester, Delaware and Montgoin cry district on Saturday. The Mont gomery conferees withdrew when Mr Evans, of Chester wits nominated. Rows are the rule with Radical enliven Lions in Pennsylvania this fall, ani fights like those indulged in by the vele prated Kilkenny eats are going on al over the State. We hope the conduit ants may meet with the same fate whirl befell the cats. ANOTHER Radical collector has rob bed tfie government of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This time the offense was committed in Kansas.— These robberies are of daily occurrence, and yet no particular notice is taken of them. Since the beginning of the .Grant administration six millions have 'Aiken stolen from the government by Radical officers, and no notice has been taltea .of the fact save an occasional au ,rest, Vlach Vlach means nothing. THE Omaha Tribunc is vigorously its sailing the Governor of that state be . cause he 1111.9 loaned the moneys belong ing to the public sehools to his friends. ;It does really seem as if almost every Radical officeholder in the country Itas been engaged In some sort of corruption -.wad rascality. The Cause of Corruption and the Remedy It is dangerous to permit any political party to obtain too great a preponderance of power in a republic. Rioter) , has proven that powerful majorities in a representative government are very apt to act tyrannically and sure to become corrupt. The conduct of the Republican party in this country is an instance in point. Coming into power during a period of intense political excitement, its leaders pushed their ideas to the ex treme, and plunged the nation into a gigantic civil war which wiser councils would have avoided. During the strug gle the very worst elements of society were thrown to the surface. Congress was filled with men who paid no regard to constitutional restraints, and the most sacred rights of the citizen were as com pletely disregarded by a government professing to be Republican as ever they were under any despotisni. Thieves swarmed in public places, and the cost of the war was greatly increased by the corruption which pervaded every de ' partment of tilt government. The most desperate means were employed to con trol elections, and up to the present day it has been impossible to secure an im partial investigation of any act of Con gress or the doings of any public official. Every attempt of the kind has either been summarily crushed in its inception, or referred ton packed Committee forthe express purpose of insuring the presen tation of a whitewashing report. When the war closed shoddy contracts and divers other devices by which for tumts were suddenly accumulated were swept away, and new plans for plunder ing the public had to be resorted to.— Ring legislation in ( ',ingress and in our t-lbilt,J.egislatures continued to flourish, and ttje system which had sprung up during (he war was perfected. It came to pass that nothing could be done with out the stimulating influence of bribes. Capitalists could count with absolute certainty upon securing the passage of any tel through Congress or a Radical State Legislature, provid ed they were willing to may the price the Hug demanded. Ify 111Valla till' wilt monopoly sod the Les seiner steel loon:fp:fly win' saddled upon the country, and other legislation of the kind put through Congress. One improper and iniquitous tariff' bill after al Ili( 11'1' was passed by purchaAed votes, and as regularly as l'ungress assembled the subject was re-opened, in order that the usual profitable means of settling it 'night he resorted to. 'flue ',Odle land, oflered a tempting bait, and an aro greater than the entire territory ill ranee and Prussia combined has beet sett away to private corporations ongresstnen taking care to secure lib 'al payment for their votes. Rascality :t similar character, but on a smaller •ale, has been the rule in every Mate egislature where the Republican party as had a majority. Other branches of overnment have not been free from frroption, and a multitude of officials aye become defaulters to large amounts, of one in fifty of whom has been called f account, If the Republican party hail been less powerful it would never have becomes) , fearfully corrupt as it is. AV - hen by nn.ans a outrageous gurrymanderingin the Northern States, and the control of the South by force, it managed to pre vent a fair expression of the opinion of the people, the door for corruption and extravagtuu•e was thrown wide open, and an : u •my of thieves marched in to take possession of every department of the government. The fight made by the people against the prevailing c•or ruption and extravagance wasconducted under disadvantageous circumstances ; but they have been slowly :tiapping the foundations of the edifice Whioll has been ("Willed upon tyranny :Out reared Ity fraud toil rascality. All the elections which have taken place during the present year show a uniform current of popular feeling, set ting steadily in favor of reform. 'rhe rising tide has even touched the base of that mountain of political prejudice which has been thrown up ill NOW Eng land, and the elections in Vermont and whine athird hope and encotrragement. Let those who desire to see the governmeht restored to its condition of primitive economy and purity cast their votes solid against the party \Odell introduced and has upheld official extravagance and corruption ; and the power of tile party which is re sponsible for all that we condemn will lie broken at the coming elections.

The arrest and impris onnn•nt of those who advocate Repub lican principles in the Father-Land, is not likely to meet with any favor front the Germans in this country. They would rejoice to see the monarchial rule of King William replaced by a Great German IZepublic. Mark the Land Grabbers Let it be remembered, while the war is going on in Europe, that the "land grabbers" of Congress have taken from the people and given to private corpora tions an area of the public lands of the United states greater than France and Prussia combined. Let every man who voted for this gigantic system of swin dling be marked by the voters when they east a ballot for Congressmen.

SENATOR IIou•rox, of Indiana, has been appointed Minister to England, and has accepted. He is a man of abil ity, but is not well fitted to fill the po sition. To A WILD negro having turned up in Louisiana, who goes naked, lives in the woods,and is unknown to everybody, the Detroit Free Press thinks the President will offer a Cabinet position. Col. Flak on Gen. Grant Jim Fisk has revoked the pass of Gen. Grant, and has declined to deadhead him and his "innumerable relations any longer." The following notice of the fact appeared in the New York Sun the other day : " The President went to Long Branch on the steamer Plymouth Rock on Tuesday last, and on going °lithe boat exhibited a pass on the New Jersey Southern Railroad, but 119 Admiral Fisk had given orders not to pass any of Gen. Grant's family on any boats of the Narragansett Steamship Com pany, his railroad pass was repudiated, and the President's fare was demanded, not withstanding bis right bower, Col. Tom. Murphy, tried to push him through. John dloey, of the Adams Express, hastened to Grant's rescue, got him a ticket, and he passed along." The gallant colonel, thinking the above statement was rather roughly made in the Sun, wrote Mr. Dana a letter, explaining the circumstances, which concludes as follows: My reason for taking this course kniew ing the matter in a common-sense light) was that I was weary of furnishing free transportation to the President and his INNUNfERARLE RELATIONS over sea and land, as I did to a very great extent last summer, particularly as I had not the satisfaction of knowing that the civilities extended were appreciated, never having been even thanked for the efforts I had made in the matter. On reviewinglthe transactions of the past year I found that I had not only furnished a large amount of free transportation, but that I had been allowed the great privilege of subscribing to Mr. Grant's charities. In the final settlement of the gold speculations of the fall of ISO, in which I supposed (and still believe) the President was a partner I with us, I lied the following item charged to my account: • " One-half of Grant's sub scription to the Rawlins' fund, $. - )00." The circumstances are simply these: A subscription was started for the widow of the late lamented Rawlins. The Presi dent placed his name at the head of the list fur $1,010); Mr. Gould followed for a similar amount, and these signatures were followed by others for various sums. Mr. Gould, having himself paid the amount. et opposite his name, was called upon by an agent of the President to ad vance the money for his time President's) subscription; and this he did, taking it for granted that this dish u was part find parcel of other moneys posing through the hands of Jt r. Corbin. 1 was, of course, charged my proportion ; list 1 should never have found fault with this, nor w‘Atid have even mcntiourd it, were it not for the manner in which the Presideot gossiped about me in the fall of .ISi;9. Why he did so (after what I had done for him . ), is only known to hint who "makes the apples round." Taking . all the circumstances of tin into consideration, and feeling, not like Mhdtwher, "waiting for something to turn up," but to a certain extent broken in sirit, not being even thanked for what I had tone, I determined, after quietly communing with my own heart, to restore my peace of mind by henceforth treating the President of the Coiled States, and all connected with I im, as becomes the high position he oe- copies at, the head of this great nation, ignoring his treatment of me, and never for one moment assuming that I deserved any thanks from him, or hire the slightent resemblance to a gentleman, The result of this determination was the issue of an order Unit- whenever the President, or any of his family, or staff, travelled 00 any of the steamers of the Narragan,elt line, they should ho treated with thegreatest respect, but not upon any other footing than that of •ladics or gentlemen. In what a disgraceful light is the Presidentof the United State: here pre melded. James Buchanan refused to ac cept a free pass from any railroad, steamboat line or other method of con veyance. Ile did so on principle, justly thinking that it did not become a man in public position to place himself in an attitude whereby he might be expected to favor any cor poration. :rant is the first President who has disgraced the high oilice he holds by the acceptance of presents of every description from houses, horses, wines, whiskies and cigars, down to hotel bills and free railroad passes. The only gift he was ever known to reh.l3o NV:1S:1 pointer dog, on which the expressage W 11.5 not paid. Ile is the must illustrious and successful deadhead the world has ever seen. In the art of bumming" he beats I;eau Brummel, who has lived ill more than a quarter of a century by sponging uPon Iris aomaintanees. Col. Jim risk has had the hardihood to shut down upon the great national deadhead. Ile found the thing rather expensive, and concluded that it did not pay. others have been more lucky, as inember , oi the ( 'abinet , Foreign Ministers and multitudes of of licials can testify. l'itk Radicals of Baltimore were de tected in the trick of having negroes register under dilliirent names in the dilligent wards of Baltimore, giving at the same time ilifll:rent names and ficti tious places it residence. The negro families living at each line of the places were instructed to stale, on inquiry, that the fictitious parties lived there. Ne groes from Washington have also been sent out into the counties surrounding the Itistricl Coluinliia to he registered, in order that they Piny Le voted tit the einning election. The I lailicals of ,\laryland :ire as desperate mid unscru pulous as the fellows w ini alter tally lists and count in their camlidatcs in linneaster vounly. The Nev Senator from IlreLmtt Col. J.

Shortly afterwards Ile was Ilpimilited District Attorney for theollun ty, and acquirod :L gllllll 111 . 81 • t and eonsitlerable reputation as :11ay..yer. In he emigrated to Oregon. Itois a tall, line looking 1111111, a. good public speaker, and will lie a valuable addition to the 1/elnovratic side of the Senate. I'r is Radicals had a Convention and a tight in the Third Congressional llis trict :\lissouri. A Radical by the name of Smith denounced the Germans in the Convention as the lop-ear ed Ankh," A German by the name of Briuld went for Smith, and there was a general light; punts, bowie-knives and tomahawks flourished through the air most beautifully, until the arrival of the sherill'and posse, when quiet Was re stored. After another general light the Convention adjourned without doing any of the business for which it assem bled. RA NT is kept very busy just now, trying to compose the quarrels in the Republican party. Ile gets somebody to write letters for him to the contending foe.- lions, all of which are commenced with his apothem:—"Let us have peace." The last specimen of the kind is an epistle to Charles \V. Ford, Revenue Collector of St. Louis, in which the President puts his official foot down upon B. Grate Brown, Carl Schurz &Co. He informs theßeve nue Collector that he, and all such as he, will be expected to stand by the regular Radical ticket. It is evident that (.rant begins to fear that the Republican party will drop to pieces before he secures a re-election, and a chance to dispense of fices again among those iwho pay the most money for them. TwimAs CHALFANT, editor of the Dunri friligrnoc r, has received the nomination for the Legislature from the counties of Montour and Columbia. Mr. Chalfant served two years in the Legislature not long since, and made an enviable reputation for integrity and ability. We are glad to notice that he has been re-nominated. As the Demo cratic majority in the district is huge, he will, of course, be triumphantly elected, as he ought to be. THE new law for the Georgia election enacts three days' voting, so as to rotate the negroes from poll to poll; forbids all challenges ; authorizes Governor Bullock to appoint all the judges of elec tion, and fixes no higher penalty than $lOO on the withholding of any county return, which will enable all the Demo untie, majorities to be thrown out cheap. Since the passage of that law Radical newspapers have begun to talk about carrying the State of ;Georgia. TILE Democrats of the Fifth Senatorial district, composed of Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties, have selected B. W. Jones as their candidate for the higher branch of the State Legislature. Mr. Jones is an upright, intelligent man, and will poll the vote of every conserva tive man lathe district. Senator Wilson's Reply to Judge Black. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has seen fit to attempt a reply to Judge Black's crushing criticism of his eulo gium upon Edwin M. Stanton. In the October numberof the Aticintic Monthly he publishes an article which is largely made up of statements furnished by Seward, Sumner, Howard, Dawes and other Radicals who were in active pub lic life at the commencement of the re bellion. The uniform tenor of the evi dence given by these men is to the effect that Stanton met them in private for the purpose of revealing such secrets a he could glean in consequence of his position as a recognized Democrat and a member of Mr. Buchanan's adminis tration. Anxious as Wilson and his witnesses must naturally have been to implicate Mr. Buchanan....44!l Judge Black in the schemes of the rebels they utterly fail to do so. On the contrary Mr. Seward voluntarily gives the most conclusive denial to charges which have been widely circulated by the Radical press of the country. He says Mr. Stan ton "expesscd entire confidence in the loyaltit of the Pre:fiCll. Id and of the ?wads of the thpartmentB who remained asJo eiated with him until the close of the ad- Ininit;tration." Wilson proves just two things. He proves by all the witnesses whom he summons that Stanton was-a sneaking spy, and that Buchanan and Black -were loyal and true to the great trusts confided to them. THE war between (,Irant and Carl Schurz goes bravely on. Collector Jus sem of Chicago, is Senator Sehttrz's brother-in-law; and the President ha caused him to be notilied that his resig nation will be accepted. We suppose l'lysses is determined "lo light it out on that line, if it lakes hint all sum mer ;" but we are willing to bet our money on the great (ktrman leader of the Northwest.

LONDON, Sept. 20—Eveuing.—A special at 'Pours telegraphs that the Prussians sus tained a serious check yesterday, iu their attempt to cut the lino of the Orleans Rail way. After their repulses at luvisy and before the Fort of Ivry, they yesterday un dertook to force a passage and secure con trol of the line. They were loot in their advance from Corbeil upon the main trunk of the Orleans line at the hamlet of Vois sons, a village commanded by low hills and buried in woods, by the French. The Prussian column of thirty thousand men was encountered by a French force of about equal numbers, posted in the most advan tageous positions, and with a formidable ar tillery. The engagement was extremely se vere and lasted nearly six hours, a fresh column of nearly 20,000 Prussians came up after the battle had gone on for three hours I and attempted, by a Hank movement, to enter the woods. The slaughter here Was fearful. The masked batteries of the French mitrallleuses kept up so continuous and terrible a fire that the cavalry and infantry of the Prussians were decimated and re pulsed along the whole line. They finally fell back in disorder, hotly pursued by the French, who cot oil their retreat upon Co bell and the Essone, and drove them down the main line of the Orleans road, more than three miles through Sarigny and Eponay-sur-Age, and back again about a toile awl a half upon the village or mooch , Derry where a'force stand was inado in the liurgundian Cemetery.

IVer/t/.l—Florence is in a blaze to-night over the entrace of the Italian army into Rome.

Candor na do Fit trenee that nothing was left but to march on Rome. A cabinet MU neil Was called at once. The King, who has always desired to await the death of Pope Pius IX and of Mazzini before taking any decisive action, was oyerruled by the unanimous voice of the ministers. I haters were sent at I once to CallOrna, nixid and A f,:iolotti to make a combined advance. The Italian forces passed the Papal frontier and al. vanced to theTilter,which they crossed Sun day at Ponte police. Ci v ita Castellana and Menlo I totondo were surrendered without any sorjons resistaoe. lin Monday Remo was completely surrounded by three Ital ian ettlittnits. Arter a parley with the Prus sian Minister on thau day, it t; a, decided to end the matter at once, is there could be no doubt that the Papal a ittvernment was over awed and the safety of Knnm imperilled by the obstinaey and indolent fanaticism of the Foreign ZoLlayes ,vlfo were also on the !stint of lighting aiming themselves, the dissatisfaction being intense between the (term:in Zeuaves on the OM' and the French, Dutch and Irish Nttuaves tin the other. The latter, angered by the conduct of certain officials of the Vatican, went so far as to tear off their medals of Mentana and burn them in the Place of St. Peter. Yesterday the Italian forces, four thous and strong, closed in upon the city. The Zouaves made a desperate resistance at the l'orta San Panerazio, the Campo Militare, the Portz Maggiore :Intl the Purta del Popule; but atter the lighting had contin ued Mr half an hour orders were sent to them pereinplorily front the Pope himself to cease tiring. They obeyed unwillingly, and many of them brake their muskets in their vats:diem Colonel Fharette threw his sword into the Tiber. Fr.ounscm, Septerriber pelting-out of each division of the Italian army occu pied the city of Rome, while the remainder went into camp outside the walls. The papal troops in capitulatiug laid down their arms and deified before the Italians, who cheered lustily for Ring Vic tor Emanuel. The papal legions have gone to C'iv ita Vecchia, there to await the completion of arrangements now making to transport them to their several countries. The Italian loss in killed and wounded before the city was trilling. The Diplomatic Corps at the Vatican an nounced their entire satisfaction with the precautions which had been taken to pro serve order. The people of all Italy aro enthusiastic over the accoruplisment of Italian unity. The large cities are covered with bunting, and fireworks and illumina tions attest the general Joy. MADRID, Sept. 25.—A1l the republican deputies in the Spauioi Cortes have signed a manifesto, composed by Senor Castelar, advocating the union of Portugal and Spain under an Iberian republic. Tours, Sept. 21.—Tire government of the republic in this city has issued the follow ing proclamation to tire people of France : Prussia declares that it is her desire to con tinue the war that she may reduce France to the position of a second rate power. She wants Alsace and Lorraine as far as Metz by right of conquest, and as the price of her consent to an armistice. She dares to ask surrender by Franco of Strasbourg, Total, and the Fortress of .Monvalenan. The inhabitants of Paris, in exaspera tion, will rather Jury themselves beneath her ruins than accept Bach terms. They can only respond to such imptifient pre tensions by lighting to the bitter era— France accepts the contest aril relies upon her children. Signed by the Provisional Government of the Republic of France, at Tours. BERLIN,Sept. 24.—The French fortifica tion of Tod., a few miles west of Nancy, was captured by the Prussians at sunset, yesterday, (Friday.) A telegram from Berlin announces that the report of the capture of Toul was made public in that city last evening, and this morning the report is fully confirmed by another despatch which states that the sur render took place at sunset yesterday.— Several lays ago the surrender of Toul was announced with a great flourish by the papers not connected with the Associated Press ; but, like all their" great beats," the news proved to be bogus. On Friday, August 12, Marshal MacMa bon abandoned Nancy, which was imme diately taken possession of by the Prussians. The French retreated to Toul, which is 12 miles west of Nancy, and it was expected that they would make a stand there, as the fortress would afford a rallying point for MacMahon's demoralized army. But this demoralization had become too great, and M.acMahon, leaving in Tout as largo a force as it could conveniently shelter, continued his retreat towards Chalons. A portion of the Crown Prince's army was detached to besiege the place, but this was soon with drawn, and the task allotted to the Land wehr and a powerful siege train. The gar rison made a vigorous resistance and fre quently indulged in a sortie, but, although they held the Prussians at bay and fre quently inflicted serious loss upon them in repelling their assaults, they did not succeed in dislodging the enemy, and the fall of the fortress was merely a question of time. Tout, whose heroic and protracted resist ance to the enemy presents a fitting paral lel to the grand defense of Strasbourg is one of the oldest cities of Europe, and is men tioned by Julius C'resar under the name of Tullum. It sustained, from the earliest ages, a military reputation, and was attack ed by all invaders. Goths, Burgundians, Franks, and 11 uns ravaged and devastated it in turn. After the barbarians came the feudal lords of the middle ages, with whom there was constant war, and lastly the bishops and the burgesses quarreled for two hundred years until the seventeenth century, when it was transferred from the Count of Champagne to the French crown. During all this period it was considdred a military post of great value, and it was finally fortified by Vauban. 1 lot the more formidable defenses of Metz, which is thirty miles distant, in an E. N. E. direction. have latterly dwarfed its fortifications and im paired iLs importance as a strategic point. The city is situated on the loft bank of the Moselle, 12 miles west of Nancy, on the hue of the railroad from Paris to Strasbourg.— At the outbreak of the war it had a popula tion of about 9000 souls, and manulitcturies of lace, calico, and hardware of some im port:nice. There is a chalvbeate spring in the neighborhood. in addition to an arse nal and cavalry and infantry barracks, Toni possesses a Gothic cathedral of the fifteenth century. with two towers, a 'nag nitleent grand entrance, and a beautiful Oriel WilltiON%4 This cathedral is regarded as ono of the architectural wonders of France. LONDON, September 2:1.-1110 following is a letter front Ifismarek concerning the means and conditions of peace addressed to the North German representative+ abroad : MkAt• x, September hi. —Your Excellen cy is familiar with the circular which NI. Jules Nacre has addressed to the foreign representatives of Franco in the name of the men at present holding power in Paris, and who call themselves "La Uotirerne ment de la Thlicnse Nalimiale." I have learned simultaneously that M. Thiers has entered upon a confidential mission to the foreign courts, and I nifty presume that he will endeavor on the one side to create a belief in the love for peace of the present Parisian government, and on the otherside will request the intervention of the neutral powers in favor of a peace which shalt de prive Germany of the fruits of her victories, and for the purpose of preventing every basis of peace which would make the next attack. of France stn Germany more diffi cult. We cannot believe in the sincerity of the desire of the present Parisian govern ment to make peace so long as it continues by its language and acts at home to excite the passions of the people and to increase the hatred and bitterness of a population stung by the sufferings of scar, and to re pudiate in advance every basis acceptable to Germany as unacceptable by France. By such a course it becomes impossible to make peace. 'rho people should be pre pared for peace by calm wordsand in terms corresponding to the gravity of the occa sion. . . If we are to believe that negotiations will us for peace are honestly intended, the de wand that we should conclude an armistice without any guarantees for Our condition of peace could be meant seriously only on the supposition that we lack military or political Judgment or are indifferent to the interests of Germany. Moreover, the hope entertained by the present rulers in Paris,of a diplomatic or material intervention of the neutral powers in favor of France prevents the French nation from seeing the necessi ty of peace. When the French nation be come convinced that as wantonly con jured up the war alone, :and Germany has had to tight it out alone, must also set tle account with Germany alone, they will put an end to their resistance, now surely unavailing. It would be an act of eruelty to the French people by the neutral ;maws to permit the Parisian government to nourish among the people hopes of intervention that cannot lie realized, and thereby lengthen Ulf) von test. We are far from any inclination to mix in the internal affairs of France. It is in, material to us what kind of government the French people shall formally establish fir themselves. The government or the Em peror Napoleon has hitherto been the only one reeognized by us. (fur conditions of peace, with whatever government, legisla ling for the purpose we may have to nego tiate with, are wholly independent of the question how or by whom the French na tion is governed. They are prescribed to us by the nature of things, and by the law of self-defence against a c rodent and hostile neighbor. The unanimous voice of the d ffirinanie governments and the German people de mands that f dermany shall be protected by better boundaries 0111.11 We have hitherto hail against the dangers and vildellee we ilaVO OX perienced from all French govern ments for centuries. So long as France re mains in possession:iif Strasbourg andMetz milting is its offensi ye strategically stronger thais our defensive so far as all South Ger many anti North Germany 011 tho left bank of the Rhine are concerned. Strasbourg, in the possession of France is a gate wide open for attack on South l dermany. In the hands of It ertnany, Strasbourg and Metz obtain a I defensive character. In 11101 . 0 than twenty wars we have never been the aggressor etc France; and we de mand of the latter nothing else than our safety in our own land, so often threatened by it. France, on the other hand, will re gard any peace that may be made now as an armistice only, and, in order to avenge the present defeat, will attack us in the same quarrelsome and wanton manner as this year, as soon as it feels strong enough ill its own resources or in foreign alliances. In rendering it difficult fur France, from whose initiative alone hitherto the disturb ances of Europe have resulted, to resume the offensive, we at the same time act in the interest of Europe, which is that of peace. From Germany no disturbance of the European peace is to be feared. Al though Franee hail been trying to force the war upon us for heir years, We, by our rare and b restraining the feelings of our na tional-self-respect so incessantly outraged by France, had prevented its iiecurrence. We mean now for our future safety to de mand the price of our mighty efforts. We shall demand only that which we must have for our defense. Nobody will be able to accuse its of want of moderation if we insist main this just and equitable demand. Your Excelleney will make those views ffid ir own, and advocate them in discus sions.

Tn . /nov.l—The correspondent of the Tri bune writes from Meaux, the lath inst., from the headquarters of King William, as follows: "I had a conversation with Count Von Bismarck, during which I asked him if the report was true that there was tut EllgliSil . repreelliii.iiVe here. Ile answer ed, 'the English have asked me if we will treat With Favre, and I replied we would if his Government could guarantee us posses sion of Metz and Strasbourg. This hed•ould not do. In this war we aro Influenced, said Bismarck, 'by no motive of aggran dizement whatever. We have no purpose in view but our own security ; consequent ly we must provide for the next war, which is sure to come.

That is why we demand these fortresses, But the pres ent Government in Paris dare not Agree to the cession of French territory, nor prob ably will the next Government." "But our purpose is flxed, and If neces sary We are ready to stay all winter at Paris." I said the general impression was that France Is too much weakened to begin an other 7ar for Many years. " That is not the case," answerei Bisr march. "Francois a very wealthy country, and will remain so after the war; Within live years she will have recovered as before to continence hostilities. For that reason we must have those fortresses, but as the Government at Paris is not disposed to deliver them up, and probably has no com mand over them, peace is not very near, and we must wait until we reduce them. We hear that the garrisons are already eat ing horse." " Then the question of peace," I said, " reduces itself to ono for the possession of Metz and Strasbourg." lee auswered, "Yes.

"It is easier;' was his reply, "to raze the Pyrenees to their base." The ministerial organ announces that in a few days there will be joyful news for Spain. After the proclamation of the Prussian King as Emperor of Germany, it is the in tention of Bismarck to recompense the King of Saxony for the loss of his crown, by placing his son, Prince John, on the throne of Spain, by the aid of Prim. The latter risks his head at this game, but will do it. A modification of the Ministry is probable.

For nearly two hours the streets leading to Clarkenwell, Bethnal Green and Holborn were alive with the successive processions of the workingmen's societies and the Democratic ieisoeietions of the metropolis. Each body of men, 11,1 it advanced along the crowded thoroughfares, preceded by bands of music and illumi nated by torches and transparencies, was followed by repeated cheers from Cho people who thronged the sidewalks. Many houses and shops on the line of the procession were illuminated, and from the windows of many others depended in the gaslight the flags of France, England and America. I counted no fewer than thirty American 'lags dis played along the Strand between Somerset House and Trafalgar Square. By S o'clock Trafalgar Square was one dense mass of people front the front of the National Acad emy to around the statue of King Charles, and the panorama of the sway ing and shout• ing multitude, with the blitzing torches, the illuminated lanterns, and the banners ris ing and falling in the splendor shed over the scene by the calcium lights disposed about the Nelson monument, I\ - 3,1 pictur esque and impoolng in the highest degree.

'rho quantity of poison taken was so large as to prove all culotte, and thus sal 141 the life. 'rho woman tells al s e.nt tie; following .story; That she Wa.4 4r!IL gathering wood, heard her children screa:n, ran to the house and saw a person running front tine house with the eluldren; that she followed, but the person having tine children ran rapidly toward a lal:o near by and LlIreNV Lino Children into the water.

In her desperaiiotl she says she took poison. The Nvoinati 's stories disagree COII - however, and there is but little doubt that she is the author Of the tragedy. It is said that rs.

On almost every farm Moro may be irollected in a few hours a quantity of cob ble stones suilleiont hr lay a good walk from the dwelling house to the out-build ings. Cobble stones are often allowed to lie around in heaps on the meadows, and scattered in the tillable fields, where they are a great nuisance, when, if neatly laid in a walk, they would subserve art excellent purpose. One industrious man may make several lineal rods of swill walk in one day when stories and Sand are within a mile of the desired Marro. Such walks should be made before cold weather, that tiro stones may become tirrnly bedded in the earth.— Lot the walks be made early in the au tumn, and scatter grass seed along the bor• ders. After a few weeks, the bareground will be green, and the proprietor will won der why ire has not constructed such acon venience long ago.

GOVERNOR lIOFFMAN le Nerenntled nt Albany-11e Makes n Spectlt. A LBANY, September 21.—Tho Jacksonian Guards, under Captain James McFailane, serenaded Governor Roffman this evening. In response to repeated calls the Governor Thanks, my friends, sincere thanks, for this prompt and hearty ratification by you of the action of the Rochester Convention to-day. I learn that its proceedings were marked by the greatest enthusiasm and the most perfect unity. No warring factious, no clashing Interests, no personal aspira tions, no individual jealousies warred the harmony of its deliberations. It came from the people, represented the people, and has spoken for the people, and in the people's name. No administration con trolled it. Its delegates have not, been influenced by the promise or office or purchased with a price. They were the independent representatives of their inde pendent constituents, and they will return to their homes disturbed by no heart-burn ings or jealousies, satisfied with their work and confident of the approval of the people. Such a condition of things, especially when contrasted with the proceedings and restilbl of the recent Convention at Saratoga, to which I need not further allude, iniliestes for you and fur the ticket this day nomi nated a brilliant and glorious victory. Never has our party in this State presented a more solid front; never has it shown a greatec determination to achieve success; never were its prospects brighter.. There will be no want of energy or activity Is e:luso the result is deemed certain. All over the State the desire and ambition aro by earnest work find thorough orpuU: zation to make our tritimph more eoniplete nod overeihCIIIIIIIV,.
