The reception into the au my of that fine old patriot, Changarnier, the 'elevation of Bazaine to the thief command, and the organization of a new ministry under an able and popular man such as Count Palikao, - all have tended to' gratify the demand of the people for the 'sacrifice of victims as an atonement for the disasters to the- French arms, and to inspire them with renewed confidence and fresh hopes of ultimate triumph. Faris is quiet. The excitement which at .the first news of defeat expended itself in violent demonstrations against the government, has changed into patriotic enthusiasna. There is a universal desire to direct every effort against . the Prussian invader. Republicans and Impe rialists alike have forgotten for a time their party passions, and are demanding with united earnestness the institution of vigorous, mili tary operations; the wholesale reinforcement' of the army, and the hearty support of the Government uar measures by the national Legislature. The sense of common danger has, for the moment, made the people feel that they are Frenchmen, and that the salvation of ..France demands-that every other- consideration should be completely forgotten. How long this excellent condition of popular feeling will lase it is impossible to tell. The passions of the turbulent are only diverted ; another defeat of the army may again send a wild mob howling through Paris; it may provoke the Chamber of Deputies to fresh violence, and begin a revolu tion. The delay of the Prussians in renewing heir-attack-u poll—the-French —army i -not—les than the civil and military reforms that have been effected, has served t 6 calm the popular agitation. if this hesitation results in a vic tory for France the good feeling will continue ; if defeat ensues,the most appalling consequences may he anticipated, even if the Prussians do not reach Paris: Meantime we are justified completely in having regarded the situation of affairs a day or tv% o ago as exceedingly alarming. That napoleon placed a grave estimate upon it is demonstrated by the fact that the Prince Im perial was hurried to England with the jewels and valuables of the Empress. This circtun stance has been concealed from the public of Paris; and wisely, for we can easily perceive that the popular agitation would not so easily have subsided if it were known that t,11,- Emperor regarded his flight as so probable than he deemed it necessary to arrange the prelimi naries immediately. The hurried departure 0! the Prince from the country is but a sorry ending of the farce in which he was compelled to play so consiiictious and silly a part at '•aztr bruck only one week ago. While affairs in Paris are much more satis factory, the situation at the front is more prow ising than it has been since the defeat of Mac Mallon and Frossard. The French army re mains concentrated at Metz, and there is good reason for believing that it has in its front thi mass of the Prussian army, including perbap, the entire command of Prince Frederic]. Charles, who has moved down from Treves and may have massed his army with the Prus sian centre. The report sent across the cable yesterday that he had pierced the Wench cen tre, and was between Nancy and Metz, is no: confirmed. Such a feat could only be performed after a successful and bloody battle, of which . we would have learned some particulars by.this time. If the story were true, it would be a positive promise of the defeat of the whole French army. At Metz it is thought the French have about 120,000 men ; at Nancy there aru ' 50,000. We have no information that Mac ' 'lllation and Failly have effected a junction with the main body, although it is known that the 3 are making desperate exertions to do so, whit. the Prussian Crown Prince is supposed to be striving to cut them off. Probably both armies are vvaiting to he.ar_from these generals before beginning the next battle. That engagement will be fought between Metz and Nancy, upon the direct road to Paris,within a day or two. The French will bring at out 200,000 men into the _fight against an equal or perhaps a superior number of Prussians. The position of the 4 French is very strong, and they have an im mense reserve force in the fortified camp at Chalons ; but this force will probably be useful only in case of victory, to follow up the flying army, for it is composed chiefly of men atiae eugiorued to fighting. Bazaine will thee a desperate resistance to the Prussians at Metz, and his troops will fight with the consciousness that the French cause is lost if they are beaten. Defeat here apparently means utter ruin. 1.1 the Prussians are triumphant it seems inevita ble that they will march straight on to Paris. 113 E FVFIULAiION OF NEW YORK. Rhe Democratic press of New York is hard at Work endeavoring to create the impression that frauds are being practiced by the census takers in that city, with a view to reduce the Democratic •, C ongression al representation, That the Democracy shouldnot•deSire a truth,- e ful enumeration of the population of New York is natural enough. The way that party has conducted -its- elections in , that city, for years past, makes it extremely desirable that it should represent the aggregate population at some fabulously high figure, as the only possible method of accounting fir the enormous fraudu lent majorities which it gives for the Democratic ticket. We are glad that this absurd charge has PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11,1870. been openly made. Its absurdity will prevent its • doing any mischief, whilst the discussion which it is provoking is likely, to elicit the truth as to the number of people who actually do live in New York. "When rogues fall out, honest men get their dues," and when the New. York Tribune and Sunday Mercury get into a dispute the two negatives may produce the affirmative of positive truth. The Democratic papers assert that New Yolk has a resident popuation cif - 1,200,006; The • Tribune declares that it has very little over 800,000. • The truth probably lies nearer the latter than the former figure, not merely because the Tribune says so; but because there is rio reason to believe that it is much beyond the Tribune's; estimate. In 1860, the census gave New York 813,660 Inhabitants. This was probably above the truth, for the whole aim of NeW York , is toward excessive exaggera tion. In • 1865, an enumeration gave New York, 826,386, or an increase of only 12,717. Now the increase durin, the last five • ears las probably beenWlittle - larger than in the half-decade preceding, but making a due allow ance for an increasing ratio, there have not been more than 30,000 population added in the . ten years, bringing up the census for 1870 to something over 840,000, which is probably very near the accurate number of legitimate resi dents. The non-resident population of New York is enormous, as any one who has ever watched the ferries and railway depots be tween six and seven o'clock, morning and evening, will testify. A huge tide of humanity glows in ~ausl out.•,of New York daily, every item of which kit enumerated, in seme: of the, surrounding towns. „ • , . , It is not remarkable that the growth of New York has been so much less that that of Phila delphia, dpringthe last ten years. .The constant ly increasing pressure of high rents and the general cost Of -wink drive everybOdv .out of the city who can possibly contrive to live any where within. a radius of twenty or thirty miles from New York. The consequence'has -.been a lame increase of population. in the stir-. rorauling . contirry and a comparative , arrestof the growth of New York itself. 'Meantime the growth of Philadelphia during this same decade has been rapid and steady. About twenty-five thousand dwellings have been erected in this city since 1860, and these bave-been filled with a substantial- and .indus. trious population. In 1860, the census gave Philadelphia 565,529 inhabitants, and it is esti mated by good judges that the present census a ill being this number up to the neighborhood of - ,00,000 or 'lso,ooo.____This is indicated both by the great increase of dwellings and the present number of voters. It is accounted fur by the fact, now conceded by intelligent people -- through - out - the - country, that - for -all-classes-of persons with moderate incomes, Phila delphia affords more of the real com forts of a hOme, for a given expenditure, than any other city of the Union. Nowhere can what are technically known as the " work ing classes" obtain for themselves ,and their families as many advantages for their limited means, as in Philadelphia. In domestic com fort, in the opportunities of education, in cheap markets, in provision for healthful recreation and mental improvement;in abundant and remu nerative employment, Philadelphia, as compared ith New Yoik, is the poor man's Paradise. And to this fact, as well as to the great exten sion of our business connections, by means of t,ur ;feat channels of internal communication, the growth of Philadelphia, at a ratio far t , xceeding that of New York, is legitimately tine. While the eagerness of the New York Ti I,ti at , to confute the absurd charges of the .1)( mocralic press against the census-marshals may probably lead it te underrate the real population of that city, it is very evident that there ate no facts whatever, upon which to base the wild estimate of a million and a quar ter of people. The estimate at which e have placed Philadelphia is much below the calculations of many persons who have not examined the data upon which such estimates should be based. But it will probably be found not to vary very greatly from the margin u hich we have indicated. 1 E MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF PL.N N SYLVA.N lA. Under a recent act of Assembly our State militia is designated as the "National Guards of Pennsylvania," and by an act not quite so recent, for the purpose of encouraging the military spirit in this Commonwealth, the minimum number of a company is reduced is. thirty-two. Since the close of the rebellion much difficulty has been experienced in se curing such legislation that, while it would make our State efficient in a military point Ni view for all probable emergencies, would a.. he same time be popular among the masses. This desirable result, it is thought, has now in a great measure been attained . , and the new military sy stem of Pennsylvania is work* well.: Almost every -day now brings intelli gence of the formation of some new organiza tion, and the Adjutant-General's Department is kept busy supplying the new companies with aims of various patterns and branches of the service. The Adhitant-General's Department as now organized under the management of ( eireral A. L. Russell, one of the oldest military men in rennsylvania, is one of the most active of tie various departments at the seat of govern ment. The head of this department gives personal attention to its business generally anti.. in detail, including a large correspondence. arising from the aggregate of volunteer compa ides and organizations throughout the State. and the rapid growth of the system. When we add to this general correspondence the ne cessity for his responding to applications from the departments of ~the national government. and from attorneys and agents, regarding mili tary records and claims of soldiers of the late war, we must concede to the Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania that his position is no lotiger the sinecure • that it was in the years'prior to The following details will give'the reader a general idea of the present condition awl ex tent of the military organitations in Pennsyb van's., which are truly encouraging, showing a very creditable comparison with other States of the Union. This table includes mon of an aims of the service now organized throughout the State : , • Vr.q.Dirision.—Philadelphia, 12 Regiments et Infantry, (2 colore()), I of Cavalry, which, ith Independent companies Artillery, caValry and infantry comprised in: this division, 140 companies. ,second I)wision.,Buaks, Montgomery .and Delaivare counties, 11. .

We thus have two hundred and seventy-one companiea,.embracing about thirteen thousand men, organized, uniformed, armed and equipped, as the available military 'force of Pennsylvania, under the name of "National Guards." Elections have been authorized for cflicers of about thirty additional comparas in various sections of the State, -from—which--the attested notifications required by law have been Teceived, but from which no returns of election have been received. The ' organized companies average about nifty .men. When thoroilghlkordarlized; they are . furiiiShed with stich - arins and itiniptiaetitS as they prefer, after personal inspection, or de scription afforded, of the several kinds in store at the state Arsenal. The _Arsenal building at the Capitol is now• entirely inadequate and unadapted for the pur poses to which it is put, and there are grave doubts of the ability of its floors to support the weight of the stores there deposited; and either a new one should be erected, or the oldone considerably enlarged. THE YELLOW FEWER. The reprehensible folly Of a:senSation-loving newspaper in Philadelphia, in attempting to -create a panic on-the subject-of-yellow-level% - has been promptly seized upon by. the NeA York - Journals, as Might have been expected. and a ill he extensively used to the prejudice of Philadelphia trade. In consequence of these. alarmist statements, we have given our readers a succinct and accurate history of the case, which certainly furnishes no material for_ any thing like a panic. Almost every summer. there are some cases of malignant fever at the Laza retto, and it is with great regret that we record the deaths of the Lazaretto Thompson and about a dozen other persons• during the last six weeks. No cases are known to exist in this city, and only fotLr cases, soirm• of which are comalescent, were reported at the Lazaretto Hospital yesterday. There has been, however, quite enough of yellow fever at the Lazaretto, and with suffi ciently fatal consequences, to arouse the Board health to the utmost vigilance, both with re gard to the adoption of all available measures for the immediate extirpation of the disease at Quarantine, and for that prevention of disease in the city a bleb can only be accomplished, by an immediate and thorough cleansing. The example of the relapsing fever ought ce:.tainly to warn the Board of Health of the dangers of delay and the folly of shutting its ears against the arguments and appeals of the public press. It was extremely difficult to extort from. the Board any 'admission of the existence of That epidemic or to induce any measures for its evention or abatement; and the recent action of the Board at the Lazaretto appears to have been marked by the same want of promptness and vigor. The heavy rains of the last two nights have done much toward repairing the mischief aris ing from our filthy gutters and uncleaned ,treets and foul sea ers. The work for the lloard of Health and the contractors has thus been made easier. We trust that it will not be used as an excuse for continued inditle:ence or neglect. THE PARK ikAID THE HACKS. The constantly increasing throngs that fre quent Fairmount Park, call for enlarged meam of conveyance to and in the Park. The . Park carriages are useful, in their way, but they are open to the objection that there are rat near 0,- enough of them, and that, even at the rati2. - , .In for-them, they„ are out of the reach of great numbers of the people. Single pet;son , may be willing to pay the fare to Belmont Alansion or George's Hill, but the pour mut who takes his wife and children to spend an afternoon at the Park, wants a cheaper con veyance. If a light-built, open omnibus could be contrived, capable of carrying twenty or more passengers, and at the same time not s.) cumbrous as to interfoae with the inoveruent . of lighter vehicles, it would be a profitable and very popular investment. The extortions of the ordinary badmen, in-- dieted upon those who wish to drive in the l'ark, have reached a point where they need some effective cheek. An afternoon drive through the Park is rendered impossible to most persons who do not own private carriages, by the exhorbitant charges of the city hackmen. It is customary for theta to demand to know just were any one wishes to drive, before en ,taging themselves, and when they ascertain that the destination is the Park, six, eight or ten dollars are demanded, according to the ra paCity of the particular driver, and_ the prohtt, liilriy of-his-ex tortions etilimit+eel to:`` The principal fault, here, lies with the people quite as much as with theliackmen. The city ordinances regulate the charges for hacks, and it is generally due to the ignorance or indifli3r once of the people, that these men are allowed to practice thoir impositions . with impunity. There is a serious want, among the Majority of the people of Philadelphia, which woultibei in 6eat measure remoyed, if the example of New Toth were followed in this respect. We refer to the pronipt assertion. of Personal : rights; in which there isa marked difference between the tWO communities, 'ilifferenee 'is not un versal, but as a rule it may be observed that while, in the one . city, every man looks promptly after his own protection, and popular sentiment quickly crushes - down the kind of personal impositions to which we refer, in the other, a very large class will not take the trouble to assert rights of this sort, and the natural eon sequencefrthe -- encouragement — of such people as the hackmen, who are nominally controlled and regulated by law, hilt who so rarely have the law enforced upon them that they are wholly indifferent to it. While upon this subject, it may be worth while to inquire why there is not an increase in the number of the light and coriVenient coulees, which the Union Transfer Company. introduced a few months ago. The ten or a dozen of these vehicles now in use are so en tirely occupied by their service at the railway stations, that they are not available for general use. Ana yet there would be an immediate, and profitable patronage for them, if their number was so increased as to make them generally available. They are light, handsome and comfortable, and would soon find a large demand. We understand that those already built have pfoved a profitable speculation, and he only thing that prevents their general popularity is the difficulty of getting them •kwhen they are wanted. The unanimous renomination of General J. Sypher by-the Republicans of the First Con giessional District of Louisiana speaka well Mr their confidence in their representative and ;heir earnest support of those home interestslo ca hich General Sypher is so thoroughly pledged. It will'be remembered that at the' last session of Congress the election in this district was de clined invalid; and the seat is_therefore 7i•acant. General Sy pber is again nominated both for the unexpired term of the Forty;second Con 'gress, and also for the Forty-third Congress. Louisiana is largely interested in the protection of her sugar - crop from foreign competition, and more so now than evert *hen •slle is just.:. struizgling to establish herself upon the basis of the new order of things, under emancipa tion. The Republican candidate is welt known as a thorough-going, out-spoken and intelligent advocate of the great domestic poiicv of the Republican party . , and his return ;0 Congress will be an important reinforce= ment to the advocates of the protection of American industry, in the Douse. While the vrps Legislall has been liuol d.wly convened to devise measures for the du mice of France, the British Parliament ha:.

PROVIDENCE, Aug. 11..—A frightful attempt at murder and suicide occurred in this city at eight o'clock last night, the particulars of which are as follows: Pickard S. Arnold, an overseer in the Screw Company's works, on Charles street, and a member of Prescott Post G. A. It., went down the river with his wife to a picnic. Hereshe danced with - seVC::' ral men, upon which he becamejealous. The couple returned to their home,- when Arnold went into a liquor store near by,and took a drink. He 'then returned - to the house and called Jane (his wife) into the kitchen. He drew a revolver, and lired two •shots at her, one taking effect in the abdomen and the otherin the small of the back. The wounds_ are frightful, and the woman is not expected to recover. " A brother of - the wife, hearing the report. rushed into the room, and a scuffle ensued be tween him and Arnold, who broke away from him. and, retreating a few paces, shot himself in the head, the ball entering near the centre of the forehead, and burying itself in the brain. Half•a-dozen surgeons were called in, but their services were unnecessary, save to dress - the wounds, which are considered fatal in both eases. . Arnold is about thirty-one years of age, and although reports have been circulated about his having had trouble with his wife, he has borne an cxcellent.eharacter. Mrs._Arnold is a very pretty iceman, arid his pride of her ap pearance made him of a very jealous disposi tion. The tragedy has caused an unusual sen sation, and police have been posted around the scene of the affair to prevent unnecessary annoyance to the family. PENNSYLVANIA.

TrrnMIMrIII7TMMM - JMnli Ills Views on the (Ecumenical Council and the Evacuation of Rome by the French. Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, arrived yesterday by the steamer St. Laurent, and put, up at Sweeny's Hotel. A large number of citizens called in the evening to pay their re spects and to congratulate the reverend prelate on his safe return from the Holy City. He is on his way to the metropolis of the great Srate of Ohio, and will, no doubt, receive a warm welcome on his arrival there. A reporter of the Bentld enjoyed the pleasure of an inter view with the Archbishop, last evening, and ascertained his views in relation to the great and momentous question concerning the infal libility of the Pope. The Archbishop declared himself an anti infallibist and spoke of Archbishop Manning as a fanatic—in fact as one whom the Angli can party were glad to get rid of on account of the . disturbing influence he exercisedi u their councils. Archbishop Purcell is a somewhat elderly gentleman, of quiet and courteous manners, and carrying with him much of a reputation for controversial ability. He was satisfied in the belief that the doctrine of Papal infalli bility was radically of such an arbitrary char acter that the promulgation of the dogma ould,be almost indefinitely postponed. He spoke of the Archbishop of Paris having de clared his disposition to acquiesce in whatever the majority of the (Ecumenical Council de cided upon, but there was evident in what Archbishop Purcellgave utterance to, that the party. of anti-infallibists is not of that com plexion to be easily disposed of by a vote which places them, in a minority. Archbishop Purcell expressed himself to the et feet that the Roman Catholic mind of America is not prepared to accept the doc trine of infallibility as applied to the person ality of the popedom. That the Church, through the voice of its assembled representa tive nunister% should lay down certain laws for the government of the entire body, and promulgate final doctrines for its acceptance, re ceives the endorsement of all Catholics ; but the question of personal infallibility is more than it is thought either reasonable or proper to receive. It will take, however, a long time bsfore the dogma of infallibility is officially proclaimed to. the world. It will ?Irv° to be signed. by all the. bishops who 'participated n eA.3ffunciltand - thatrproce'sxduiluing - bY- the; slow moving machinery of the Papal system, will talcs years to accomplish. Archbishop Purcell has no idea'of what will 'happen to Ifonte.after the withdrawal of the French troops, but he relies upon the devo tion of the troops who are enrolled under the Papal standard to repel any Garibablian or 1%1 azzinian raid on the Holy City.—S. 3', _Herald. fIOTTON.-80 BALES CO TON NOW V landing and for solo by COCHRAN, 11,U5S.ELL 00.,11101mitnot, stxoot.
