THE WAR.
Since the reports of yesterday morning, there
has been no news of a very startling character_
'him Paris or the seat of war. In Paris the
streets are still thronged by excited multitudes,
but the government seems to have complete
control of the situation, and the frenzy which
followed the announcement - of defeat and
threatened to culminate in a revolutionary out
break, has given way to a,n earnest enthusiasm,
which is directed to the support of military
measures directed against the 'enemy. The
new ministry has begun its administration with
a commendable display, of energy... The mili
tary loan of five hundred million francs, which
was authorized the other day, has been in
creased, by orderof the Corps Legislatif, to
one thousand million francs. Specie payments
have been suspended, and the bills of the
Bank of France have been made a legal ten
der. The paper circulation has been limited to
one thousand million francs. Provision has
been-made for the widows and orphans -of the
War ; _and, more iniportant than all, a bill has
been passed for the re-establishment of the
National Guard. A general armament of all
citizens over twenty-one years of age will take
place. We shall see whether this policy is a
wise one. The time may come when the arms
placed indiscriminately-in-the-hands of-French -
civilians will be used in the interests of revolu
tion. It is a desperate measure, which could
only be adopted in a dreadful emergency.
_While Paris is tranquil, symptoms of revolu
tionary
feeling are manifested in Marseilles and
Toulouse.. In the latter city an attempt was
Made yesterday morning by a few irrational
radicals to proclaim a Republic; but the govern
ment appears tohave suppressed the foolish
demonstration without difficulty. In the red
_Republican city of - Marseilles there have been
violent popular demonstrations for two or three
days. The people have thronged the streets
and amid tremendous excitement demanded
arms. An.attempt was made by certain irre
pressibles to seize the City Hall and overthrow
the municipal government. Report says that
these demonstrations were quickly suppressed.
-and that the city is now quiet. This may be.
true, but we are prepared for accounts of other
outbreaks in Marseilles. It is indeed strange
that we have not had, before this, news of revo
lutionary movements ambng the excitable in
habitants of that turbulent Republican city.
All these reports, together with the accounts ol
the uproar which disturbed the streets of Pari,
three days ago, indicate the fierceness of the
fires-which-rage beneath the thin - crust of ordei
constructed by the government. They prove
that it is only required that the authorities shall
be paralyzed by another defeat, to set Paris,
Marseilles and other great cities aflame with
a revolutionary spirit which will consume and
destroy imperialism. The issues that depend
upon the result of the approaching conflict at
Metz are so vast and appalling, that we con
template them with breathless interest.
Meantime the situation at the front has un
dergone some changes of minor importance.
The fortified city of Strasbourg, as we conj-z-c
-tured yesterday, is completely invested by the
Prussian army. The commander has been
summoned to surrender, and has refused. The
Prussians are preparing to assault it, and are
placing their heavy batteries in position for the
purpose. It is said that there is but one regi
ment in the garrison; former accounts credited
it with seven thousand men. The latter num
ber is probably nearer the truth. It is doubt
ful if the French can hold the city for any
length of time. A siege was not anticipated by
the French commanders, and most probably no
provision has been made for such' an emer
gency. The only hope of the garrison is that
the Prussians will be beaten at Metz and will
be compelled to raise the siege before the city
is taken. This is a sorry chance, which seems
unlikely to be offered.
The flying corps of MacMahon is said to have
occupied Saverne on Sunday, but to have
abandoned it the same night. Saverue is on
- the railroad from Strasbourg to Paiii7 - and is
one of the points which command the princi
pal passes through the VosgeS ; Mountains.
MacMahon may have deserted it only to fall
back to the stronger, position of Pfalzburg in
the same pass ; but, as the report says that the
Crown Prince is vigorously pursuing him, it
may be that he has pushed on towards Nancy
with the design of massing his force with the
main French army. Ile must make a stand at
Nancy or to the east of it, or else expose the
right of the French army. An engagement
may be expected soon -- between these two
bodies, and unless the disheartened, beaten and
flying troops of MacMahon are reinforced, a
victory will certainly be gained by the .larger
force of the Crown Prince, enthusiastic over its
recent triumph and its brilliant advance.
From the Prussian right we learn that the
whole of that part of the army under Prince
Frederick Charles is advancing from the line
of the Saar and pushing the French to the line
of the Moselle, which runs due north from
Metz to Thionville, where the extreme left of
the French army was but a few: days arqa,:. .A
dance atthe map show . a number of roads
leading from St. Avoid, Saarlouis and several
other towns west of the Saar, to Thiouvilfe
and Metz. - Along these highways the left of
the French has been driven. The position of
the French army is, therefore, exactly perpen
dicular to its position one' week ago. Then it
extended nearly east and west from Thiou
villa to Wissemburg, with a corps at right
:angles defending the river 7.3 p Strasixitar.
MME=
_Am it extends nearly, north and south from
Thioi vine to Nancy,leaving Strasbourg and the
-Rbipe Uncovered, and the passes of the Vosges
Mountains defended only by detached bodies
of troops. •
The French have lost a great deal by change
of - position for the Prussian - army have - undis-'
puted possession of a large portion of French
territory. _But the present position of the army
is very strong, and a desperate
,resistance will
be made against an attempt to drive the
French -from it. The Prussians will probably
bring a superior force into the battle, but this
will be compensated for in a measure by the •
position of the French and the consciousness
in the mind of . every soldier that defeat means
utter ruin.
Pending the engagement, which may begin
at any moment, King William has issued a
generous and humane proclamation, declaiing
that he is eager for peace, that he will protect
the Frenchmen in the vicinity of his army from
outrage f and will pay for what private property
he is compelled to take. This proclamation
will have a good-effect if it should happen that
the French provinces now held by the Prus
sians should be joined once more to Germany.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND ;THE
REVENUE
The address to the Republican party by
Senator Wilson, Chairman of the Congress
ional Republican Executive Committee, con
°tams the following statements,which are impor
tant.and int.presting_enbugh.te require.especial
prominence. pakng of .the revenues, the
address says
Without any increase in the articles subject
-to-taxation-or-in-the-rate- of—taxation ,--the--re
venues of the fiscal year ending 30th of June,
1870, were nearly $309,000,000 against less than
$221,000,000 for the year ending 20th of June,
1869, showing a gain of nearly $88,000,000. On
- the other hand, the expenses of the fiscal year
1870 were leas than those of 1869 by more than
s2o,ooo,ooo, thus showing an increase of reve
nue and saving in expenditures of more than
sixty-seven millions of dollars in the first fiscal
year of General Grant's administration. In
the last sixteen months of Mr. Johnson's ad
ministration the receipts from customs and in
ternal revenue were less than three hundred
and seventyLtwo millions of dollars. During
the first sixteen months of General- Grant's
Administratiorrthey were more than four
hundred and' sixty,-mine millions, showing an
increase of nearly ninety-seven millions of
dollars. Republicans will remember that
dur]Ag the last two years of Mr. Johnson's
Administration he removed all Republicang
appointed by Mr. Lincoln and others who ad
hered to the principles of the Republican
party, , and.appointed Democrats where ho
could do sol" The character of the appoint=
vents, and the demoralizing influence which
his opinions and conduct had upon them,were
seen in the loss of scores of millions-of-dollars
of revenue - in those years. The large gain in
the collection -is mainly due-to-the-determined
and-avowed purpose of General Grant to _se
cure an honest Administration of the revenue
laws, and the appointment of Republicans to
office, earnestly devoted to his economical
policy :
During the recent session of Congress taxes
have been reduced more than $75,000,000. The
taxes have been removed from transportation
by canals and railways, from sales by dealers
and manufacturers. The income tax has been
reduced to two and a half per cent. on all in
- comes-above $2,000; and it is to expire at the
end of taw years. The tax on tea has been re - -
duced from twenty-five to fifteen cents per
pound ; on coffee from five to three cents, and
the tax on sugar and molosses has been re
duced in the aggrete twelve millions of dol
lers per annum. By this reduction of tax
ation the industries of the people and the ne
cessaries of life have been relieved of burdens
amounting to millions.
All the statements contained in this para
graph, with the exception of the reference to
the income tax, are entirely satisfactory, and
they offer the best arguments that can be found
to prove the excellence of the present adminis
tration of the government, and of the faithful
ness and honesty of the Republican party.
We can safely go before the country armed
with such facts as these, and ask the people to
continue their support of the organization
which, in its management of the financial af
fairs of the country, has displayed so much
ability, and has offered such , a contrast to the
rascality of the Democracy under Andrew John
son. That retired gentleman gave us a fore
taste of . the things which we may expect if his
party ever comes into power again, hungry
from long abstinence from the public spoils,
and apt in all kinds of dishonesty.
It is unfortunate, however, that Senator Wil
son has touched upon the subject of the income
tax, and, it is even more to be regretted that
lie has undertaken to claim credit for the Re
publican party by fastening upon it the respon
sibility for its continuance. The leading Re
publican newspapers all over the country, and
some of the ablest Republican politicians, strove
earnestly for the abolition of the tax; and they
regard its retention not only as an outrage
against the rights of the people at large, but
against the party which will have to hear the
burden of the responsibility. Retention of the
tax was not the deed of the party, but of a few
bigoted, hard-headed, selfish men, Who thought
by this means to appeal to the sympathies of
certain classes of their constituents. That
their action will hurt the party we have no
doubt, but we can promise that a strenuous
effort will be made, as soon as Congress meets
again, to secure the repeal of the odious law.
Every Republican newspaper and every politi
cian whofought against the passage of the in
iquitous measure will begiii again to attack it,
and to demand' its abrogation. We have good
reason for hoping that these efforts will be suc
cessful. In the meantime, we can Icinestly
boast of the rest of the exhibit made in Sena
tor Wilson's address, and ask American citizens
to give generous support to the party which can
show such a record. The income tax, under
the revised law, cannot be collected until next
year; and in the meantime we can surely secure
its—tOtal

WHERE'S THE . ROY?
The question of _the : day._. is, --Where's --the
Boy.? " What Boy ?" Why there is but one
'Boy. There are boys innumerable, but the Boy
is the Boy of Saarbruck, the Baptized Boy, the
Boy with a Bullet. The world alreadyknOWs
what the Boy has donnfor :France; bow he
moved the bearded grenadiers to tears, while he
sported, with touching tranouility, on the
verge of the battle-field, picking up spent balls
as mementoes for his Imperial mamma.
And now, while the world still bangs, with
irrepressible emotion, over the' beautiful-scene,
the Boy suddenly . vanishes out of our sight,and
a weeping world, like a modern Bachel, refuses
to be comforted because ber,:pe,t Boy is not.
" Where'e the Boy ?" The tderiptitclies say
that be is in Paris. Likewise, he. is at Metz.
Also, according to Mr. Simonton; be is in Lon
don, with a carpet-bag crammed with crown
jewels, and under the protection- of • Mr. Win.
F. Smith ! \ Why the Boy should have been
sent to London, nobody pretends to- know.
Who Mr. Win. F. Smith is, nohedy, vouchsafes
to explain. Careftil investigation proves that
it ,is not our Win. F. Smith, ex-member of
Council from the Twenty-second Ward, who
has charge of the Boy and jewels of France. If
the Boy is in London, it was a clever" Napo
leonic idea" to bury him under the incognito
of the Smith fanity.- It is easy to,imagine the
bewilderment of-the London reporters and.in
terviewers hunting up a .man by the naive of
-Smith, with a Boy and a carpet-beg. .
It will be a dreadful example for French
youth, if it turns out that the Boy has ab
sconded from his imperial home, in conse
quence of some domestic difficultv,and run off
with the diamonds. Perhaps Smith is a de
tective H-there used to be. a detective, named
Smith, at Scotland Yard—and is only " accom
panying " the Boy, until a convenient Opportu
nity preaents itself th - retifiti him qinietly to his
mother. -We hope this. theory of the Boy's- dis
appearance will prove incorrect,- and that all
the_-conflicting _stories_about_bis_mysterious
flight from Paris will turn out. to be mere
Simontonisms. Our own belief is that he is
still with • his imperial father at "the centre of
the position."
THE LAST COLLIERY ACCIDENT
Our Pottsville correspondent gives,a detailed
account of the latest mining horror, by which
ten men were suddenly crushed to death, and
others wounded, in consequence of defective
machinery, and neglect of proper precautions
against accident. These terrible accidents,
although -they have - served - to - direct legislative
attention to the subject of providing better pro
tection for the miners, have not yet sufficiently
aroused proprietors and operators to the neces
sity of far greater caution and more liberal
-efforts to guard life and limb against such dis
asters as are so graphically-described by ow
correspondent.
Irrafr telegraph it columns - this afternoon,
will be found despatches received-. from Paris
this - morning, - giving - an - account - of the - scen - es
in the Corps Legislatif yesterday, fuller and
more detailed 'than those piibllshed in themorn
ing papers. Some of the more important oc
currences were not mentioned at all in last
night's despatches. It seems that M. Thiers
boldly declared for a Republic in the followint.
language : "The Empire is henceforth out of
the question ; there can be : no Empire without
an Emperor. To this state of things
a Republic mast inevitably succeed.''
This declaration coming from a man of M.
Thiers' weight and influence—an influence
which must increase as the force of his pro
tests against this wicked war becomes more
and more apparent, is, in the highest degree,
significant. Another indication of the vio
lence of the feeling against the Emperor in the
Chamber is supplied in the demand of an un
known member, who, in reply to the request
that General Le Brent' should be brought be
fore the Corps, said : " Summon Bonaparte
and not his creatures'." These outbursts of
feeling prove the existence in the legislature of
a sentiment which may at any moment de
velop into open revolutionary manifestations.
Upon our inside page to-day we print a letter
from our regular correspondent in 'tome giving
an extremely interesting account of the official
promulgation by the Pope of the Infallibility
Dogma, together with other entertaining mat
ter.

It has been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors dis
tilled by the ordinary methods contain a very large per
ventage of impurities ; the degree of heat that must no
c,.,arily be employed, decomposing, disengaging and
vaporizing all the baneful elements and noxious gases
contained in the mash, which when condensed form the
deleterious fusel oil so detrimental to life and health.
Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled, are apt,
even when only used sparingly as a stimulant, to create
NA USEA,SIOK HEADACHE, INFLAMMATION and
KIDNEY DISEASES ; but, when indulged In to ozces,,
the result is DRAIN FEVER. DE Ulll'slll TREMENS,

The " P. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, " stimulate
and cheer " without unduly exciting the brain or injur

the choicest products of the Cereals in " VACCU(. ," the

only about 90degrees of heat is required in the operation.

the " P. P." Whiskies are not only delicate in flavor,

13Ear.rN Aug. 12.—A. copy of a proclama

language for distribution among the people as
--- the 'Prussian - army - advances - into Frenclrter
ritory, has been received for publication. The
following is the text of the proclamation :
" We, William, King ofTrussia, make known
to all Inhabitants of French territory occupied
by German forces, that the Emperor Napoleon
having by sea and land attacked the German
nation, we, eager to live in peace with the
French people, have taken command of the
German armies, to repel aggression, and by
military events have been . led to pass the
French frontiers. We war against soldiers and
not citizens, and therefore the latter may con
tinue secure in, person and property so long as
they abstain from hostile - acts. We grant them
protection as a matter of right. The generals
commanding -corps:will decide -what- measures
are necessary usages of tvar and will also svga

troops, and fix the difference of exchange be
tween German and French currencies in order
to facilitate deallags betweeia - soldlers and citi

FRANCE.
!Strength el the French Army tit Metz.
Piers, Aug 12.—Le Siecle estimates the
strength of the French array at Mai . at one
hundred and thirty thousand men. It counsels
the withdrawal of the French, army to the
line of the Meuse or Marne rivers.
Exciting Scenes in the Corps - Legistatif
The proceedings of the Gorps Legistatif yes
terday were marked by a still more violent
debate than that which forced the withdrawal
of 011ivier and his Ministry. Amid much
tumult M. Keratry moved that a committee of
inquiry be instituted, and Marshal Le ...B(r_uf
summoned before it. In the tumult, an un
known voice from the Left cried: "Summon
Jionaparto, and not his creatures."
As soon as the confusion quieted M .
Keratry proceeded, and referred to the French
position in '92. Then as now defeat stared
France in the face, but a similar committee
appointed by the General Assembly restored
victory to our eagles.
The French generals were shown that de
feat was crime and our reverses ceased.
M. Thiers replied and opposed the motion
He said the reverses to the French arms were
inscrutable, but that the officers must not be
called from the field to answer inquiries while
the army remained in so great danger.
M. Thiers concluded his. otherwise tempe
rate speech: "The Empire is henceforth out
Of the question. There can be no Empire
without an Emperor. To this state of events
- a Republic must inevitably succeed." I Cries

11 7 .Asruxurox, August 12 -A further inves

that he took the iron•Cla.d oath to , enable him
to practice before the pension office the
summer before he was elected to Congress,
when it was found necessary to remove his
, political disabilities to enable him to take his
seat; that subsequently a son. of his partner
was made Postmaster at Taylorsville,Tenn.,and
his own son, a clerk of the court and a notary
Public, was taken into, the ring. The evi
dence shows that communications from the
Pension Office to the claimants were often, if
not habitually stopped by the Postmaster. The
notary made up a - certilicate - to such evidence
as was needed, and the clerk of the court at
tested the whole. The first indictment will be
for forgery. Thelnvestigations of the ether

EWIFIIL ACCIDENT TO CHILDREN
Fall of a Scaffold in Mechanics , Hall,
Worcester—;;One, Hundred and Fifty
Children Precipitated to the Floor—
Thirty. Children Injured.
!From the Worcester Spy, Aug. 10.
An accident happened in Mechanic& Hall,
yesterday morning, which, though net so se
rious in its results as might have been ex
pected, was one that cannot be allowed to
pass without calling attention to the inexcusa
ble carelessness that was' the cause of the fall.
The hall was open Tor the practicing of the
children, under the direction of Mr. Henry
Newcomb, of Boston, who has for some time
past been drilling them for a series of con ,
certs,llie first to be given last night. The
chorus platform was a slender scaffold
ing, seventeen feet high in the rear and
sloping down past the front of the stage,where
it rested on small posts,with tiers of seats from
top to bottom. When the children were
seated, about 150 of them, a cracking noise
was heard, and Mr. Newcomb went around to
the rear of the structure to see what made the
noise. He looked up just in time to see the
framework parting, and before he could get
back to the - front, that half of the scaffold on
which the children were seated fella with a
crash, bringing the children and broken
boards and sticks to the floor in a mass. It
was at first thought that several were killed.
and the shrieks of the wounded and frightened
made it a scene of confusion that immediately
called together a crowd of eople, who extri
cated the boys and girls, finding none of them
dangerously hurt, but some with broken
bones, and many of them niore orless injured.
Had the Millbury chorus numbering 100, been
seated 'on the platform, the - reslt - Would - havo
been much more serious.
The platform was a slimpsy, miserably con
structed affair, and any one who would send it
out from the shop for the purpose of support
ing children seventeen feet from the ground
deserves to be severely censured, and it also
seems strange that any one could place the
children upon it, if they gave a thought-to its
weak and -:insufficient - construction: — Mr.
Newcomb says that he did feel uneasy about
it, but it stood the pressure of three hundred
children in Providence, on the occasion of
his giving a concert there a few days
since ; and, being assured by the builders that
it was amply strong. 'be felt that he could
rely upon it for the Worcester concerts, after •
which he intended to send it back to the
builders—Morton & ehesley, of Boston—
whom he had told that it was not such a one
as he bad ordered. It was built at a cost of
$225, and was intended for use in fifty or
seventy-five concerts, bad its strength been
sufficient to suit Mr. Newcomb, who says that
he gave directions for a much stronger struc
ture. Ho personally visited those most in
jured, yesterday afternoon, though 'he is him
self very lame from the bruise received in the
accident, anti will do all in his power
,to alle
viate their sufferings ; having told the parents
that he will pay for all medical attendance.
