Berlin, in the year 1861, had •547,571 inhabi
,tants ,• in 1864 the number was 632,370; and in
:1867, 702,437. The increase from 1864 to 1807
iwas, on an average, 3i per cent. annually, so
!that population at the end of the present
; year may be expected to be 750,000 souls.
;Saxony is the only State in the North German
I'Confederation (Prussia, of course, excepted)
that poSsesses more inhabitants than Berlin.
i Taking the population at about 750,000, and
the space covered by the city a52i,511 Prussiaii
‘acres, we find 24 persons to each acre; in
, Paris, which contains 30,428 of these acres,
beach of them is occupied by 58 persons. Ae
-I,pording to the last census there were in Berlin
, !f351,253 males and 348,728 females, including
:106,702 children under 15 years,
10,531 old peo-
Ve above 70, and 15 between 05 and 100. The
Itumber of children attending school was
i 03,383.
i Of 100 males above 16 years of age 44.8 are
•Inarried, and 45.4 per cent. of females. If we
tOmpare - Vienna - , Parisi - London — and - Berlin
V
re shall find that for every 1,000 men above 20
leers of age, in Vienna, 476 are married ; in
Oerlin 520 ; in Paris, 563, end in London, 661 ;
if 1,000 females who have passed their 20th •
'firth-day, in Vienna, 408 are , married; 530 in

, if er cent. are males, and 24.8 per cent. females.
' the whole number 37 per cent. are ' work

' Itcpublicard,sm has been on trial before the
people of the three great States of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and lowa, and has been tri
umphantly sustained. This result is all the
more gratifying that, in the two first named
States the strength of the opposing parties
was so nearly balanced that neither dared to
count certainly on victory. Yet in Ohio, with
a State temperance ticket in the field, with
local fusion tickets miming in Hamilton and
Lucas counties, weakening the Republican
strength, I n the face of 50,000 popular majority,
against colored suffrage two years ago, and
w ith the fifteenth atnellihnent to be acted upon
by the new Legislature, constituting a qlear
and distinct issue, a victory has been achieved
of which Republicans,. not only in that State
•but throughout tie., nation, tray well be proud.

It strikes as that the politicians and Con
gressmen especially from Ohio and Pennsyl
vania,' arrogantly demanding in the name of
utile nation" that. Tennessee shall select a
Senatornd representative of their choosing,
had better Cork to their own hearths. Where
are their victories, where their strength and
power, we repeat. that should justify their
dictation bins Y They had better pluck the'
beam out of their own eye before they under
take to remove the mote from ours. In Penn
sylvania and Ohio. We regret, to be com
pelled to admit, they are again defeated. in
Tenne , see and Virginia we are victorions, and
by iittemlii; to our own business, and not
heeding their advice. They have no right to
assume to lead us and direct our political des
tinies. We are in advance of them. If we
had continued longer to be followers we
should still be bound hand and foot to-day.
We would modestly suggest to them that they
are banking too much upon Southern capital,
and are not sufficiently self-reliant. More than
that, they are revealing themselves as bung
ling intermwtdlers. Their tactics failand ours
succeed. Has the sequel to their military co
operation and political aid and comfort given
them a better right to think for us `than veto
think for ourselves?

t` Whatever may be the verdict of

this is not the time to press this question, and,
in the present state of the public mind„ there
is no man living who can be successful for

to even think of destroying the nation's credit
atone fell swoop, especially when all hands
are struggling in a slough of national evils,
such as now environ us. Mr. Pendleton,

this bold movement, nevertheless bore the

Specific directions were given, so plain that a
fool could not fail to comprehend them; as to
how the :Southern people should do; what
principles theTshould adopt in order to secure

Altogether the. Republican victory in Ohio
is a splendid one, and one likely to be produc
tive of large results. It settles the irestios
probably, of the ratification of the }Meant.);
Amendment. It kills off finally the strongest
and, most popular . Democratic leader in the
West. It rebukes, and probably destroys, re
pudiation in the West, and will tend to destroy
it everywhere. The result in Pennsylvania has

PreSidency. It kills repudiation in that State,
with 'which Wolter was tinctured. It kills po
litically the strongest Democratic leader in
that State, and it upsets the calculations and
deranges, the plans of the national Democratic
leaders.

mn.•BILEPt'AnD WITHDRAWS.
- -
Mr. Sheppard said your Honor pleases:
On Saturday last the majority of the judges of
this Court, acting upon certain views of the
law and of the facts which were expressed in
the. opinion, decided that the present incum
bent of the office of District Attorney has not
been legally and truly elected. There has
been a certtorari taken, and I desire to avoid,
and not, even to be the occasion of any un
seemly discussion as to how far that Writ will
operate as a eupersaleas, or as • to whether the,
learned gentleman who is my contestant, or
myself, is really entitled toadminister the .
office in the meantime. Matters of that sort
may affect seriously the interests of the Com
monwealth and the administration of justice,
and might hare a legal bearing upon the-causes
to be tried iu this court. Has my wish to do
everything in my power to prevent the public
business being affected by such entanglements.
Besides, it is not agreeable to be discharging
official duty - before a tribunal which has de
cided that the officer is not entitled to the posi
tion. il have therefore come to the conclusion
that under these circumstances it is due to the
public; due to the court and its business;
due, perhaps, to myself, if a personal
consideration can he referred to here, that I
should not prosecute the pleas of the Common
wealth. While the Writ is pending I, there
fore. with profound respect for the Court and
all its memers : decline any longer to repre
sent the Commonwealth while the case is
awaiting the judgment of the appellate Court.
The act of Assembly provides for such a
contingency, and, as we are beginning a new
period of this term,with a new jury,the change
can be made at this time with less prejudice
to the public- interests than upon a future oc
casion.
JUDGE LUDLOW'S RESPONSE
Judge Ludlow said---f_ff course the District
Attorney of the county lia.s a perfect right to
adopt whatever steps he deems necessary in
the present juncture of affairs. I entirely
concur with him in the propriety of abstain
ing from prosecuting. the pleas of the, Com-
Monwealth, under the decision of the major
ity of this court, from which it is known I
dissented on Saturday last. It is proper for
him to abstain from conducting the pleas of
the Commonwealth until some disposition is
made of the writ •of certiorari; which
I understand is no* pending, and
upon the records of the • office.
I must, however, see to it that the public in
terests do not sutler. There is a heavy crimi
nal calendar, including a large number of
homicide cases and a trial of special impor
tance which was fixed for Wednesday of this
week (Brooks case). It is therefore my duty,
in the absence of the District Attorney of the
county, under the-act of Assembly to appoint
a District Attorney into tem. • The authority is
derived from that act,and from that act alone;
and in making this appointment I am
governed by considerations which affect the
public interests alone. If the gentleman to
whom the certificate of election would be
awarded is successful before the Supreme
Court, he will be called upon to prosecute the
pleas of the Commonwealth. If that jutl,r
mem should in any way be disturbed, or re
versed, the present District Attorney would
be compelled to again take charge of the office.
It, therefore, scents to me that the course pur
sued by the District Attorney is proper, in that
by no act of his shall the public in
terests be injured; and I am sure that
'by no act of mine will such result be.
reached. Seeing that one of these two gentle
met be obliged to prosecute the pleas Of
the county, there is no other course left forme
but to aplioint the gentleman declared elected
by the Court District Attorney pro tem.
therefore direct the following order to be en
tered:
And now, October 18th, the District At
torney declining further to prosecute the pleas
of the Commonwealth, Charles Gibbons is ap
pointed by the Court District Attorney pro
ADDRESS DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES
OM=
Mr. Gibbons, in reply, said : May it please
your Hbnor—The determination of my friend,
Mr. Sheppard, has been quite unexpected to
myself. and I sincerely regret that he has felt
it to be his duty to retire from his present
position at this time. I had hoped he would
have remained in his office until he had prose
cuted some of the important causes which he
has had in charge '
and that the Court and the
community would have had the advantage of
his professional industry and skill in
these cases. So far as Mr. Sheppard and my
self are concerned, I am sure that neither of
us have regarded the recent contest as a per
sonal matter. I know that I have not; but
under the decision of the Court, and under
the appointment just made by your Honor,
nothing remains for me but to accept that ap-
pointment. Your Honor may readily per
ceive, however, that it would be impos
sible for me to proceed. this morn
ing with the trial at the causes that were
fixed for this day. I am entirely unfamiliar
with the evidence to be presented to the court
.and jury in any of them: I shall; therefore,
be obliged to ask your Honor for the indul
gence of a day or two until I can make proper
arrangements for conducting the business of
the court under the appointment just made, I
will ask you to give me until Wednesday or
Thursday, whichever is most convenient.
Judge Ludlow—Here is a
,case which will
- require your attendanCei - on ANATednesday, and
perhaps it would be better to adjourn the
Court until that dity.
Mr. Gibbons—That Will be agreeable to me.
Tho.oath of office was then administered to
Mr. Gibbons, and afterwards he was in con
sultation with Mr. Sheppard in regard to the
current business.
The Court adjourned until Wednesday.

He would go off so easily that, if conversing
with him at the moment, you might go on
with the conversation for a while after he had
become totally unconscious; as did once Lord
Aberdeen in his own house, to the consterna
tion, doubtless, of the disciplined diplomats in
Mr. Irving's neighborhood. Ills kindly lord
ship, however, would not permit the well-be
loved Geoffrey to be disturbed, so that he had
his nap comfortably out. Sometimes, when
he woke, he would take up the conversation
around him where it had been broken off by
his doze, although meanwhile it might have
wandered into a very different subject; which
of course would produce rather a comic eflbet,
that no one would appreciate better than. him
self.

Soon atter the edict was posted, some mem
bers of the Republican battalion of the second
district assembled in the Barios de San CLM-
P.ite, and ,constructed one barricade of the
stones and timbers of the work now going on
at the Ft/cute de San Augustin Viejo, and
another in front of the Church of St. Mark,
availing themsti - es, for the latter, of a
passing cart, Vail of the doors and
stones ..of the house building near that
church. - The first of these barricades was
taken by one section of cavalry and one of
carbineers; but in the second, as its defenderti
retired, they made a discharge against . the
troops and wounded the Lieutenant of cavalry
who commanded, in the knee. The said barioS
were- cleared completely, and sentinels estab
lished at all the street corners. Some indi
viduals of the said Republican battalion for
tified themselves in the workmen's restaurant
of Santa Catalina, hut shortly afterward de- -
stilled from their positions and retired to their
hmises.
Atii.3o the authorities, seeing. the unmis
takable evidences of resistance to the edict,
ordered the first alarm gun to be fired. On hear
ing it great was the terror in all places in the
city, especially in the Rainbia, which was full
of the curious. All the peaceful citizens
rushed to their houses and closed the doors
and the shops i n such manner" that by the
time the second cannon was tired from the
Castle of Monjurch the people in the streets
could be counted. The • churches were not
opened at all in the afternoon, and the bells
aid not ring. '
It is stated that at 8.30 on Saturday night
commission of the Ayuntamiento presented
themselves to the Captain-General, asking an
extension of time for the delivery of the arms
of those who bad fortified themselves iu the
suburb. Sella Gaminde conceded it for the
unprorogable space of live-quarters of au
hour: are ignorant .of the motives from
Which the barricades were nut abandoned,but,

attack was given at 9.30 in the Calle del Car
men, which, the same as all the others occu
pied by the Republicans, was completely oh.:
scored; for either the lamps had not been lit at
all, or they had been extinguished.
The first barneade attacked was of paving
stones ' in front of the Minimas at the corner
Of the Calle de los Angeles. A discharge an
swered the shots which its occupants directed
to the troops, and it was carried by the bayo
net. As the ,roots advanced, the resistance
bec:une greater, It being necessary to employ
artillery in the Calle de Poniente, which was
found almost impassable, because at all the
erussings of - the streets opening into it there
was a barricade. While the troops in the Calle
del Carmen advanced to the Capucainas,those
of the Calie de - Ronda - attacked - the - Calle - de -
Poniente in such a manner that the marks of
the halls are still to be seen in the facade of
the house in the Calle del Carmen, in rront of
the Calle Poniente.
The troops in the part of qap Pablo attacked
the streets Hobado and Caderri: Through the
first they arrived up to the Calle del Hospital,
hut in the second they encountered great re
sistance. There were some casualties on both
sides. The troops of the Calle de Bobador
got up to the passage of Bernadine, and at
tacked the great barricade in front of the
Church of the Carmelites, corner of Calle de
is Iticra Baja. la the first attack the troops
had to retire through the lively fire of nits de
fciolcrs. for they had been jelsed by• those
who had been dislodged from the ether barri
cade. with the intention of preventing the
u bin_ of the Convent of Capuchinas, where
was tienucleti of the insurrection,
'I he commander of the attacking party then
enter , d the artillery toabe placed in front, of
the barricade, and it was nut long in opening
a Way for the soldiers, who took the barricade
and tl.ca penetrated through the Calle de In
Riera Baja, while those who had attacked the
harrictd, s of the Callus tiadurni, San Gero
pima, and Cadena, debottehed thrOugh
the latter to the Calle del
_Hospital. The moon had then risen.
They lirected .themselves to the Capu
elihnis. Meanwhile, the troops who had
taken the other barricades caine through. the
Patro flora Alta and Unites del Carmen and
Ponieute. To the rebels ensconced in the ex:
convent there was no recourse but to surren
der at discretion, which they did. Some of
the litpublicans managed to escape by the
streets eading to the Gusauche. By two in
the moiling the troops dominated all the city,
and we heard no more thing.
At titybreak the, voice ran through the rest
of the Population that the insurrection was
completed, and a great number of the curious
began to traverse the barrios which had been
the theirre of events. There still lay in , the
streets tae dead bodies of the Republicans and
those of the troops; the 'former were ten or
eleven. The troops are said to have had four
killed aid five or six wounded.

—There is a great deal of dispute among
critics upon the question, Which. is the
greatest of Mr. Edwin Booth's personations?
some inclining to praise his "Iago" above all
the' others, some "Shylock " Some "Rich
elieu," others, andthe majority, his "Hamlet."
We incline to give our verdict with these last.
Mr. Booth has ,x physical fitness for that
character which is peculiar and remarkable.
It is his chief favorite. He has devoted to it
more study and elaboration than to any
other. His methods of declamation and action
fit it more completely, •and he has con
formed these to it •so closely that we can
catch glimpses of "Hamlet" in almost every
one of the other personations. Next to this we
are inclined to rank his "Macbeth," which,
although an essentially different character,yet
by its quick and violent action affords to Mr.
Booth an opportunity to use to the best ad
vantage those unusual histrionic powers to
which, more than to his skill as a reader, he
owes his present fame. Here and there,
throughout, his performance of "Macbeth" on
Sattirday night, we could detect lapses into
the manner of his ‘.‘llanilet," which seemed
incongruous and offensive ; but generally the
personation was in the hi"hest degree ar
tistic and satisfactory. His performance
immediately before the murder of "Duncan"
and in the subsequent interview with his wife;
his management of the episode in the banquet
hall, and the final combat with "Macduff,"
where the ruined man, robbed of the courage
that he had gained from the witches' prophecy,
first shrinks back and refuses to tight, and.
then, seized with the fury of desperation,
hurls himself at his antagonist—:these are the
best thing's in his personation, and we feel
them to be the results of that inspiration
which is giveaway to a great actor. In all
of these scenes there are evidences of consider
able improvement upon Mr. Booth's earlier
efforts, and we are sure that his
riper experience will produce even' bet
ter things in • the great future which
he is approaching. But there is one bit of
stage business which he used to give in the
scene after the murder, which always seemed
to us excellent, but which is now omitted.
While scarcely heeding the words of "Lady
'Macbeth - Mr. Booth formerly gazed in stupe
• fled horror upon his blood-stained hands, and
'in a vacant, absent way rubbed them slowly
one upon the other, as if to free themfrom the
'blood. The effect of this was to express ex
actly the mental condition Of the murderer,
and. to intensify the horror of the scene.
Nothing has been , wined, but rather a 'great
deal has been lost, by discarding this business.
It was so impressive that the spectator wouln
be likely to remember it forever in connection
with the pass,age.
It was observable during the performance
on Saturday that the audience was very unen
thusiastic, very rarely applauding, and then
invariably after some violent acti on. The best
play went by unappreciated. Audiences seem
to like rant and tear and noise, for they al
ways commend it, as opera-goers often do
the merely boisterous etilirts of , singers. This
must be somewhat disheartening to a good ac
tor, who cannot possibly- tell whether his
finer feats find any appreciation among his
hearers. Miss Graleun's "Lady Maebeth" in
deed, received more applause than Mr..
Booth's impersonation, although Miss Gra
ham did not succeed in the part at all, excel
lent as she is generally. .
During the present week Mr. Booth will
appear as follows : This evening in R ichclieo„-
on Tuesday, in The ,Stranger and Don Curer De
Bozao ;on Wednesday, Uthtllo ; Tharsday,
Daialet.; all Friday, .11crehant of Venice and Don
Casar • on Saturday afternoon, Don Great- and
The Tavu,u of the ;! , 7iruo, and on Saturday
night, Richard HT We venture to hope Mr.
Booth will appear once during his engagenieut
as "Sir Giles Overr each"—a character in which
he excels.

Nicholas Waln, though a regular Quaker
preacher, was a great wag, and many are the

preachers. They discussed the points of dif

between the two Methodists, and before them
was placed a 'date containing two trout.
Each of the circuit-riders placed hiS fork in a,
fish and transferred it to his plate, after which , 4,—
each shut his eyes and said an audible graccK4,.
