TIIE•iEVEOPEAN SITUATION.
,r,Tbe situation of the combatants, as far as we
have learned, has not changed since Sunday.
The French army is said to be concentrating
around Metz, with an evident determination to
oppose any further advance on the part of the
I russians. Marshal MacMahon, when last
heard from, was at Saverne, a small town upon
the road to Nancy. It is supposed that he will
be forced to leave Strasburg Undefended; and
will make desperate exertions to reach Nancy,
and, from .thence proceed to form a junction
with the main body of the French army. The
efforts of the Crown Prince are directed with a
view to prevent this combination, and if Le fol
lows up his victory with the vigor already dis
played by him, there seems to be a reasonable
ospect of SUeCeS6. - ItisTair SaY that the
accomplishment of this design would destroy
the hope of triumph of the French arms. It
would -- isolateAlaeMabon'slerce, and leave it
Without a chance of reinforcement, in the pre
sence of a vastly larger army already flushed with
victory. The army of the Crown Prince would
also threaten the communications of the main
army with Paris, and it is not unlikely that a
for ward movement at such a crisis upon the
. part of the Prussian tentre and the right trintei -
Prince Frederick Charles, would compel a hasty
retreat of Marshal Bazaine from Metz toward
Paris. This would be a magnificent triumph
for the Prussians, and it seems likely enough
unless MacMahon succeeds in joining Bazaine.
'We shall know positively in a few hours
hether the Crown Prince has accomplished
his object. At present we know only the posi
tion of the armies a few hours after the battles
of Saturday. Every thing may have changed
since that time, and we can only guess at the
pr table fegtilts - . of What appear to be the
strategical designs of the marching armies.
The :thauomvring -of the last two days, of
course, may change the entire aspect of atiairs.
THE PANICAN PARIS.
The action of the French Ministry is hardly
of a kind to inspire - Paris with confidence in
the Government, or to giveto the people as
surance of safety. The splendid victory of the
PrusSiariS was so unexpected that the autho
rities are panic-stricken, and hi response to the
-eager and threatening demands of the mob,
bulletins are issued in quick succession dis
playing the painful apprehension of the Gov
ernment, rehearsing the strength of the home
griartiand of the defences of Paris, and appeal
ing frantically to the - patriotism of the people.
the reseive force of the Government is so
great, and Paris is so well fortified, that it is
exceedingly doubtful if the city could be taken
by au invading force, under ordinary circum
stances. But if the Prussians should gain
another great victory in the vicinity of Met,
and send the army fl)ing towards Pails, it is
exceedingly doubtful if the utter demoraliza
tiou which IA ould ensue would not render al:
these va,t, preparations for the defence of tin
city useless. The National Guard would not
stand long before the triumphant hosts of
Prussia, nor would it be possible to hold Pari
for any great length of time while the enern3
controlled its communications and kept midis
;puled possession of the whole country betweet,
that city and the frontier.
Of course danger from this source is as yet
remote. But we have good reason fur believ
ing that Paris is agitwed now by an enemy a,
bad as the Prussians. The authorities control
the telegraph lines, so that injurious report,
cannot be sent abroad; but there can be nu
doubt that these frantic bulletins are issued as
a weans of pacifying the Paris mob which can
not he kept in subjection in this exciting crisis.
It may be that the great calamity of motile'
defeat will unite the discordant elements in the
cause of common safety ; but this is at least
open to doubt. There is a faction in Paris
- vt hich would forget the humiliation of France
in exultation over the overthrow of Napoleon,
—a turbulent faction which, unconsciously or
not, will create in the capital a diversion iu
favor of the enemy. Its power is proved when
it compels the authorities to tell the truth
freely concerning the disasters that have be
fallen the army. What its action will be in
tie event of - the arrival of the Prussians be
fore Paris can only be conjectured now. Per
haps we shall see aftera wbile.
ILIIE 2.1110111 AS TREATY
It is understood that au effort will be made
as soon as Congress assembles to induce the
Senate to ratify that treaty for the cession of
the Island of St. Thomas which has hitherto
been .treated with contemptuous neglect.
Whether the Senate will be more favorably dis
posed to this treaty now than it has been
hitherto, is doubtful ; but the friends of the
scheme seem to think there is a much better
chance of e.uccess than there ever was. While •
e adhere to the theory that we have quite
enough territory, and too little wealth to make
any speculations in real estate adviiiable,we may
say that if it is finally &tern - lined, as the frost
'
+lent seems tothinkit is, that possession oLone
of tLe West India Islands is necessary to the
happiness' and security of this nation, there
are good reasons xshy we ought to purchase St.
I.(lhas. The situation of the island is excel
lent; the people are whites, Who are intelli
p-frt-,• industrious and accustomed to free gov
erment ; it is known positively that they are
unanimously in favor of annexation to the
United States, and that they would•make good
citizens. Their Min.ber is so small, trio, that
it would not be difficult to govern them peace
ably. j To be sure t the island, once Or twice a
year, is shaken, with earthquakes, swept by
hurricanes and scorched by voleauic fires'; but
it is doubtful whether these little demonstra-
tions of nature are more objectionable than
the popular convulsions which 41stract - with
tiresome regularity that island of San Domingo,
which Baez and a host of his speculative friends
tried to force upon us. The people of San
Domingo were opposed to annexation, and if
we bad attained possession of the island, we
should have had constant conflicts with an un
ruly, semi -barbarous, lawless race, who do not
speak our language, and who have no sympa
thy with, or intelligent comprehension of,, our
institutions. The terrors of St. Thomas would
be preferable to a perpetual struggle with such
a people; and if it is finally settled that we must
obtain possession of one of the buttresses of
the continent,"we should, for this reason, give
St. Thomas the 'preference over San Domingo.
It is somewhat doubtful, however, whether
Denmark would be willing to accept a ratifica-
tion of the treaty by the American Senate at
--this-lato-day-ror-wouldoonsent-to-re-open—ne
gotiations. It is very certain that our treat
' ment of Denmark in this business was exceed
ingly shabby; perhaps it was even cowardly.
We entreated her, over and over again, to sell
the island to us, and when at last she gave her
consent reluctantly, we repudiated .the bargain
and refused to have anything to do with it.
Whether Denmark will be Willing to forgive
this insult and to stand by her original agree
• ment, remains to be seen; If she should, uu
fortunately, be involvectin the European war
it is likely she will not be too nice to consent to
anything , which will bting her around sum o
money ; if she keeps out of the tight she wil
probably refuse to sell the island. It would
serve us right if, after the ratification by the
Senate, she would refuse to perform her part
of the contract and to let the island go.
THE ASCENT OF MOUNT BLANC.
The ascent, of Mount Blanc is one of those
perilous-pieces of pleasure that have such an
extraordinary attraction ftir adventurOUSYMing
men and that supply to 'the 'newspapers, every
summer, harrowing stories of sudden and
terrible deaths among the icy crevices and
gorges of the mountain. It is a pleasure
which is always attended with excessive fa . -
tigue,with much physical suffering, and -often
N.s ith total disappointment. It belongs to the
same category as the achievements of Sam
Patch and the proposed leap of a
.young fool
named Frank Thorne from the Suspension
Bridge at Niagara, from which he has
been happily deterred by nearly killing himself
in a leap from a grain elevator at Buffalo. But
the successful ascent of Moat Blanc, it must
be confessed, has in it at least this : It implies
lie possession of fine physical health, of great_
power of endurance, and - Of a courage which
would face a battery, or lead a forlorn hope
without flinching. That these high qualities are
misapplied, in risking life along the slippery
passes of Mont Blanc, where a single false step
means a.miserable -death,-must be confessed - ;
and when we"retid of the difficulties to be sur
mounted before the giddy crest of the King of
he Swiss Alps is reached, we always repeat
Dr. Johnsou'i wish that the music whose ditli
culties was called to admire were only-im
possible.
Very few tourists attempt and still fewer ac
complish the arduous feat of scaling Mont
Blanc. Every summer a few parties succeed
in climbing to its sublime height, and their as- -
cent and descent engross, for the day, the, at
ention of the dWellers and visitors at
Charuouni. Since the year 1786, when the
ascent was first accomplished by Paccard and
Balmat, there has bten a constant succession
4,r adventurous spirits ready to take the. risk
for the sake of the excitement and the glory,
and, occasionally as in the case of De Saussure
ui 1757, and more recently by Tyndall in 1.858
and 18.59, for the better purpose of scientific re
search. The successful climber of Mont Blanc
is the hero of Swiss tourists for the season, and
;t he has the good fortune to reach the summit
favorable weather, be has, beside the glory
Hof the achieVement, the reward of the brief en
jo)ment of a landscape, from a stand-point of
hich the circumference of the globe scarcely
furnishes a perfect equal.
This year the credit,—and among cragsmeu
it is accounted the highest attainable honor,—
of the .first successful ascent of Mont Blatic
belongs to two young Americans, Mr. William
F. Lewis, of Philadelphia, and a Mr. Whiting,
of New York. These gentlemen celebrated
he Fourth of July by scaling the first stages of
he ascent, with the usual escort of guides and
porters, reaching the "half-way house," "Les
Grands 1111t108," on that evening, and gaining
the summit of the mountain, in safety, at three
o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. They
were so fortunate as to have a clear day and a
cloudless sky, and, of course, an unobstrUcted
view of the grand panorama of which Mont
Blanc is the central glory.
As we have already intimated, it would be
better if the ascent of Mont Blanc were just
difficult enough to be impossible ; but if there
is credit to be won by the feat, there is, after
all, some satisfaction hi having it so safely and
satisfactorily accomplished by one of our own
young townsmen. •
AYPHEIVTICRSMIIP 'lO CRIME.
Two terrible climes, the one committed in
this city, the other in New York, have taken a
strong hold upon public attention, and have
brought home to every one a proof of the great
insecurity of life and of all that life holds most
dear, in spite of all the machinery of law and
police. And looking a little farther we see
bat these crimes differ only by a shade from
what is passing every day. No week, often not
a day goes past but what, in one or other of
these cities life is taken by violence. Our
judges speak in the strongest language of the
carnival of crime". that is being enacted, and
vt Licit, although they may severely punish some
small fraction-of it, they are powerless to re
press.
To cure. crime 'by pubishnient is almost . .
horelessi-at-bestAt - is - but - held'iwcheck. It is
to prevention that we must rafter look, by
diminishing the number of those who are ready
upon provocation or.. inducement to become

e need not look far to see. We shall find

PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9,1870
governMent increases it is doubtful if tip_
members of the Church, in this country
at any rate, will be willing to in
crease their contributions for this purpose.
There is among Americans a very decided ob
jection. to the autocratic character of the Pope't;
temporal rule. His divine right to govern
not recognized in civil as in spiritual affairs
and his efforts in the former direction hayinv
resulted in a hateful system of espionage an
t. 3 ranny, are not regarded as satisfactorily suc
cessful by free American citizens. it would 0, ,
much better if the Pope would surrender hi,
temporal authority, and, having abolished its
costly machinery, would devote the money ex
pended in that direction,upon the missions and
charities for which his Church is justly famous.
There are plenty of churches and benevolent
institutions now engaged in struggling for ex
istence which could be placed at once in a con
dition of active usefulness with the money
now wasted upon the Pope's shabby army, his
unpleasant police and upon the men who fatten
in the civil offices of Rome. As an evidence
of the fact that good Catholics hold these opin
ions we quote the following from the New
York Register,a leading church paper. it says :
"To the successor of St. Peter, and to the
head of the Catholic Church, we will give
generously and willingly as lung as we have
anything to give, but to the King of the l'ap it
States we owe neither allegiance nor one dol
lar. Reared, as we have been, under the in
fluence of republican institutions, all oursym
pathies are for republican and for free govern
ments, and our regard for the Roman Pontiti,
in his regal and monarchical character, is pre
cisely the same as it is for the monarch of
France or A ustria, and we feel ourselves nu
more obliged to maintain monarchy in Rome
than we do to maintain the despotism of the
Czar in Poland. If the Pope deems it expe
dient to enrol under his regal flag rnercenarm.:
from Switzerland, 'France and Belgiutn, for
the purpose of holding Rome against the Ro
mans, we know of nothing in our religion that
authorizes luim,to levy on us to pay his motley
legions."
So far from the overthrow of this civil au
thority being a calamity, we b , dieve the Catho
lic church would be strengthened and wade
more efficient if the King of Italy would seiz.;
Rome and make it his capital. lle is a Catho
lic, and lie rules a nation of Catholics, who
would respect the spiritual authority of the
Pope as much as they ever did. Of course the
Pontiff would surrender his position very un
willingly; even the wisest men find , it hard to
be philosophical when they are deprived of
power which they have been accustomed to
exercise, but it is doubtful if his wish ought
to, or will be permitted to prevent the constun
mation of a design which cannot fail to have a
beneficent influence.
The Emperor's absurd message about little
Louis and his bullet, and his baptism of tire,
proved that the imperial faculty Air gasconade
is in - no wise impaired.' I The imfortunate_litt,
bny proved too much for the tender sensibili
ties of We French grenadiers, and Louis, with
his pocket full of spent balls, has been hurried
back to'his anxious mamma.. Had he been
allowed to remain with the army, under its
present adversities, the emotions of the troops
would have ensured their total demoralization,
even if Fritz did not strike.. another WA H u

twi01) the "tears of Saarbruck and the Thiers

tunity of learning trades,leaves- them, not, in
deed, a necessity, but an excuse , for idleness.
And for these idlers there is the . engine -house
always open for society, companionship and
a-sort of- occupation or a - pretence at occupa=
tion.
Thus, on the one hand, the Trades' Unions
refuse these young men 'the chance Of. appren
tieeship to trade, and, on the other, the engine
biomes offer them instead, an apprenticeship to
crime. The young man who cannot. find an
opening to learn alrade, becomes a corner
lounger, lives upon his parents, claiming that lie
can find no employment, soon gravitates to the
hose-house, and presently -becomes unfit for
any employment, even if it could be obtained.
NO one can look 'this whole matter squarely in
the face and not see that of these two systems,
the one provides sehools - of. crime and the other
furnishes the scholars. As soon as parents and
friends become unable or unwilliug-to.-support
these engine -house loungers, they are left - with
no opening for work, they Win not starve; and

Are ive justified in allowing thiS state of
things to continue for one unnecessary day ? Is
it ro. perfectly clear that the opportunity to
learn useful trades should be thrOwitopen to
all, and that on the one hand these ,schools of
vice, the' engine houses, should-be / thoroughly
and completely reformed? We do not speak
here of the miserably inefficient nature of our
fire service, of the fighting that precedes at
tempts at extinguishment (at the
.littrning of
sugar-hOuse in Race 'street, the firemen fought
for twenty minutes over the nearest fire-plug
before it was brought into use); of the` incen
diary fires and riots and feuds of hostile com
panies—bad as all this is, it is still of secondary
importance compared with the , regular anti
systematic education of hundreds and thou
sands of criminals, to,prey upon society, to oc
cupy our courts and fill our prisons. And the
remedy, we repeat, is just this : Let all have a
free opening to learn useful trades, whether
4prenticetnent or other better., systetn,
any can be devised. And let us have a Paid
Fire Department.
111 E POPE'S TEM PO RA L POWER.
- Many very devout Catholics in this country
regard with total indifference the withdrawal o
the French troops from Rome and the ex
tremely probable consequence that the Italian
government, upon the plea of protecting the
Pope, or upon some other pretext, will talc
possession of the Eternal City, It-is believed
by a large number of intelligent American
Catholics that . the temporal authority of the
Pope, so far from being advantageous to the
church, is injurious to it. As the spiritual rules
of a great and powerful religious sect which is
in active existence all over the world, be has
labor and responsibility enough without the
. distracting care of managing a complex civil
government. His civil government, too, is,very
far from being self-supporting. • It involves an
enormous outlay, which will be increitsed with
the increase of the army, made necessary by
the withdrawal of .the French ; and for. the
money to meet these . expenles the Pope has to
rely entirely upon the generosity of foreign
Catholics. This has always been displayed
a most lavish manner, but as the cost of the
A LITERARY coingournoN.
We called attention thenther day to the as
sumption by Samuel Blatchford, on account of
a sister, of the authorship of a- poem entitled
"The Call," or " - Couldst Thou norWatchOne
Hour ?" The New York Evening Post, which
gave publicity to Mr. Blatchford's claim, pub
lished on Saturday the following letter from
W. T. Richards, the artist:
GratIMANTOwN, Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—To
the EditerS of the Balling Post: My attention
has been called to a communication from Mr.
Blatehford, in your issue of July 30,con
eerning the authorship of the poem 'Couldst
Thou not Watch One Hour?" . The poem in
question was written by Anna' Matlack, now
bI rs. William T. Richards, of Philarielphia,and
was originally published in The - Friend in the
year 1854. It was reproduced in Littell's Living
Age shortly after its first appearance, and was
apainublished in littell'sin connection with
a similar poem by the same writer, some time
in 18C)6. The poem and its author are well
known in Philadelphia, and I am sorry to he
obli=td to assure Mr. Blatchford that he has
made a great mistake in claiming for his sister
the authorship of the poem.
In the .communication both readings of the
first-lineAre-ineorreet. It should read
"Thy eight is dark, behold diced:tad° wag deeper."
I would hesitate to use your valuable space
for so shot, a matter did not the interest of
truth demand it. Respectfully yoUrs,

Unless the French aims are blessed with
magnificent success in -- the - present war it i s
curtain that Napoleon's venture will prov. !
fatal to his personal hopes. , This crusade
against Prtissia was a wild and desperate
scheme which could only be excused by Freneh ,
men if it was successful. It was understood
from the first that defeat involved the ruin of .
the Enaperor. The nation will never forgive
him if the Prussians conquer France upon-its
own soil, and dictate terms to Napoleon in
own capital. Even if becomes back to
-Paris with_
an army only half beaten, be will return to
meet an irrepressible mob of _revolutionists. whtt
will greet him with execrations and hurl him
from his throne. It would be sublime retribu
tion if he -- Shotild have worked out his own
ruin through the:instrumentality of this Shame
ful ear ; and the world would regard with
gratification the spectacle of the last of the
carat Bonapartes provoking his own destt:itc
t ion.
The American Press Association this Morn
ing brings important news front England. In
l'atliament yesterday Mr. Gladstone said tha .
on the 30th of July the British Governmen ,
declared to France and Prussia, that if either
elligerent violated the neutrality • of Belgium.
England would' immediately co-operate will.
'he other belligerent to defend that kingdom.
"This was all that was required of the govern
ment by the English press and people ; and tb'
acceptance of the statement with warm ap
proval by Mr. Disraeli without doubt represerM:,
the universal feeling. It will be necessary now
for England to prove the sincerity of the decla
ration by placing the army on a war footing,
and thus to demonstrate her ability to fulfil he
promises. At present it seems very ttulikely
that any temptation will be offered either to
France or Prussia to enter Belgium, but tb.•
situation may change entirely.in a few .days.
It is reported that Lady Franklin is to go t ,

the hope that she will not venture to take Mrs.
Stowe completely into her confidence. If Mrs.
Stowe did not spare hideous details in her de

THE NEW DOMINION.
Farther Afgrottleant Movements for An.
nexatton and Independence.
QUEBEC, August 2.—The leaven of Annexa,
lion seems to be rapidly fermenting the whole
lump of Canada. Especially are the French
Canadians becoming excited over the matter,
and throughout all the Catholic counties mass
meetings are being held at the church doors
on Sundays after Vespers. One of the most
notable of these has just taken place at Stan
fold, the principal place in the French county
of Arthabaska. It was attended by about
.4AO people. The Independence and Annexa
tion parties both sent down delegations
from Montreal, who, with local speak
ers, fully discussed the subject. Messrs.
Bines and Laurier, of Montreal, spoke for
independence ; Messrs. Turgeon, Pacaud and
others for annexation; and M. Gerin for the
status quo. The speakers were all good orators,
and were listened to with attention. A storm
broke up the meeting, but the feeling was (le
cidedly in favor of American annexation.
Cries for annexation were frequent, and one
homely eultivuteur's remark expressed the
sense of the meeting perfectly: "-All we know
is that we are not doing well now, and that
the Americans are prospering." The issue of
independence is generally distrusted as only a
continuation of the evils of the present sys
tem, without its few advantages. The meeting
brolee up singing the French Canadian na
tional airs, and with cries of Five l'Annexion.
As representing pretty fully and fairly the
ideas of both parties, I propose to translate
for your edification the two sets of resolutions
offered at this meeting. Those of the Judo
pendencists were as.follows :
• Whereas, It is an essential principle of popu
lar rights that the mother country is rigor
onsly bound to defend and protect her colo
nies, and can upon these conditions only claim
their fidelity add allegiance.
Whereas, The Government:so! Great Britain
has resolved to withdraw, and has actually
commenced withdrawing from this country
her troops and their munitions of war.
Whereas, Our position as a colony of the
British Empire exposes us ceaselessly to be
the victim of her private quarrels, and has
twice this year forced the people of tins
country to take up arms to drive from their
hearths the enemies of England ; and
Whereas, The Canadian Government has
despatched one of its members, the Hon. INIr.
Campbell, to induce the British Government
to reconsider its decision, and to continue to
extend its protection to us as in the past; be
it therefore
Resolved, That so long as the British Empire
maintains its sovereignty over this country, it
owes to Canada aid and nrotection. complete
and absolute; that the Government of Great
Britain, by persisting in its resolution to with
draw from this country its troops, renounces
voluntarily its claim to the allegiance of the
Canadian people; that until the return of the
Hon. Mr. Campbell, the people of this country
should maintain an attitude of • expectancy,.
but take no action ; that this meeting is of
opinion, and now declares solemnly, that if the
Hon. Mr. Campbell does toe obtain from the
British Government that protection to which
we are entitled as a colony, it will then be the
duty of the Canadian people to deniand'their
national independence. •-
The following alai the resolutions of the
American Eli mpatilizers : -

of her troops and the removal anti dismantling

government of the Detail:don, aided byEng

therefore, far from marching in, unison with

WidiuniLao.x;__Aug—.9.--..The—Secratary—of
War has ordtred the signal corps of the army
to make arrangements for,carrying into-effect
the law providing for a full observation and
report of the approach of storms on the

Important Clrenittr.
[By Um American Press Aseectatinn.l
WA at 1> GION, Aug. 9.—The Fourth Auditor
issues a circular to disbursing officers of• the
navy calling attention to extracts from the
navy and army appropriation acts of July 15,
1570. The law prescribes that the pay of naval
officers as prescribed shall he their full and en
tire compensation without additional allow
ance in favor of any of the said officers on any
account whatever, but the repealing clause
does not repeal - existing laws allowing rations
and naveling expenses to.. officers, and their
- traveling expenses abroad will indlude such as
are necessarily incurred, but no charge for
transportation of baggage in connection with
traveling in the United States will be al-
The expenses incurred by'any officer of the
navy for medicine and medical attendance
-will not-be allowed except incurred while
on duty, when such medical attendance could
notlave been obtained from naval supplies,
or the attendance of a naval medical officer
bad.
Nor will the funeral expenses of a naval
officer who died in the -United States, or ex
penses tor travel to attend the funeral of an
(Alicer who died there, be allowed.
.But when an officer on duty dies in a
foreign country the expenses of his funeral,
not exceeding his sea pay for one month, shall
defrayed .by the Government and paid by
the paxmaster upon whose books the name of
such officer was borne for pay. It is not per
haps generally known that it has been the
custom of the Navy Department to bear the-ex
penses of interring its officers who have died in
this country, agreeably to General Order
No. 76, dated July 7, 1866, which states that
" whenever it shall become necessary for the
Government to defray the funeral expensas of
an officer of the -navy Or marine corps, an
amount-not exceeding one month's sea pay of
such officer will be allowed for that purpose,
to he expended under the direction or with
the approval of the commandant of thertearest
naval station, the commandant of a squadron
or of a single vesslel when not in communica
tion with a superior - officer."
But the recent law; as - will be seen, pro
hibits the department -from doing so here
after.
Rations will not be allowed to marine offi
cers under any circumstances, and to naval
officers only on sea service.
The tax will lie deducted, as lieretofore,from
all salaries and mileages which accrued prior
to August 1. 1870, without reference to the
time of payment, and all Fourth Auditor's
certificates, as directed upon the face thereof,
but for the tax on salaries- and mileages -ac
cruing after A uguat 1, 1870,disbursing offiders
will take nib cognizance.
,An,.con fora., ity with au opinion of the Attor
ney-General, the Fourth Auditor expects dis
bursing, officers will use great care in making:
all pa - 3 meats to see that they are made from
funds drawn from appropriations for the year
inn hich the indebtedness occurred.
The prevalence of yellow fever in Cuba bas
driven off nearly all our war vessels stationed
in and about the, harbor.of..Havana. Nearly
all the war vessels of the North Atlantic fleet
are at Key West and St. Thomas, a few lying
off and on the Cuban coast. There is no re
cent news at the Navy Department of interest
concerning the Cuban struggle.
CHICAGO, Aug 9.—The official census of this
city, taken by the School Agent,in compliance
with the State law, shows the population on
August Ist, 1870, to be 306,307—an increase of
58,060 since October, 1868. The total assessed
value of real estate for 1869 is $211,-
371,000; total personal property, $54,633.000:
the income from taxes, 53,090,000. 135,000 are
under the age of 21 ; 55 700 are under six years
of age ; 3,617 are colored. The increase in popu
lation in sixteen years and eight months is
418 per cent. The population thirty years ago
was 4,479.
It was incorrectly represented last night that
Lydia Thompson wrs arrested at the opera
house on a charge of assaullt preferred by Mr.,„
Story, of the Times. Such was the rumor, but
it appears that the complainant was a woman
named Ellen A. Griffi n,of New York, who ap
pears to be a monomaniac. She has followed
Miss ThompSon, who has repeatedly forbid
den the woman to visit her.
Last night the insane creature applied at the
Police Court for a warrant for Miss Thomp
son's arrest, charging ber with assaulting her,
pulling off her chignon, B,:c.
She has annoyed Miss Thompson by sending
her costly presents, bouquets, letters, &c., ex
pressing devotion.
A Times reporter says the arrest was made
as Miss Thompson was dressing at the opera
house for the stage. Bail was given, and the
ridiculous ease will be heard this morning.
