THE BATTLE BEFORE METZ
The accounts of the battle near Metz on
Sunday are by no means as clear as we could
wish, and in the absence of any decisive infr
Manion any attempt to finite at - the precise
truth must be purely speculative. Napoleon
and King William both claim a victory, but
the mass of the evidence tends to prove that
the Prussians triumphed. It is certain that the
French were withdrawing from their position
in and around Metz and were engaged in cross
ing the Mosellmriver. That fact alone demon s
strateis that the design' Was to WithdraW froth
the line of the Moselle, perhaps to the line of
the Meuse. The Emperor dates his•despatch
to the Empress Eugenie from Longeville, and
he is reported subsequently at Verdun, thirty
live miles from Metz upon the , road to Paris.
There are several small villages named Longe
vine, and thereappears to he considerable un
certainty as
,LO which of them is
~yeferred to.
The news in the later despatch, which places
tc:F - Ve7riTiik
seems to indicate the small village of Longue
ville in the immediate vicinity of Metz, and not
the railroad town on the line of the Paris and
StrasboUrg road, as was suggested yesterday.
It is evident Napoleon at least has retreated,
in a preCipitate manner not at all common with
Generals who have won a victory. It is nearly
certain that the whole French army
is across the Moselle; and Na
poleon's - farewell address to the people
of Metz indicates that that city was abandoned
by the army to the protection of a garrison
against the besieging Prussians. Napoleon
Admits that his " advance guard "—probably
meaning his rear guard—was unaware of the
presence of the enemy, and was taken by sur
prise.\ This indicates haste, panic and had
generalsbip on the - part of the French. Above
all the Simple announcement of a victory was
sent to Paris without any details, and without
any subsequent - declaration - of the results. - 2lt
may be regarded as certain that a brilliant suc
cess of she. French arms would have. been
heralded in glowing language, and the fullest
accounts would have been given to the petiole
of. Paris. The exclusion of official news, and
the subsequent suppression of telegraphic
news from qUirters from which correct intelli
gence might come, goes very far to prove that
the Prussians gained an advantage, however
slight, in the conflict on Sunday.
It appears from the latest despatches that
the conflict occurred at range, eight miles
east of Metz, instead of at Pagny, twelve miles
south of that city, and „ on the Moselle, as
former despatches said. The former place is
on the river Neid, which here runs parallel
with the Moselle. The rear guard of the
French army was at range, and was apparently
engaged in covering the retreat of the main
body over the Moselle. The French were
driven into their entrenchments before Metz,
and succeeded apparently in holding them
against the Prussian assaults. Report says
that Pont-a-Mousson is now also held by
the Prussians. if this is all
nue we can easily understand the attempted
retreat of the French army. The I'russians
holding Nancy, threatened its right flank, and
had pierced its centre at Pont-a-Mousson.
Maatahon, on the right, had Callen back to
the, town of Tool, and it was absolutely
necessary that the French, outgeueraled as
they were, should form a new line with Mac-
Mahon's position for its right. It will proba
bly be found that, a retreat was being executed
for this purpose when the Prussian attack was
made. The loss of Nancy was the fatal mis
hap which made this subsequent disaster pos
sible. The defeat sustained in this contest
may ensure the retreat of the French to a line
further back than the Meuse, but we shall
probably find that they will take up a position
upon that river ; leaving Metz to a garrison,
and defending Tool to the last extremity.
The eflect of this triumph of the Prussians
and of the continued retreat of the French,
cannot fail to have a deinoralizing eflett Upon
the French army and ulxin the people of Paris,
when the whole truth is known. There is
something sublime and overv. hsimir,g in L b',

will he compelled to surremler or to try to make
their way across the Vosges into the French
lines. This latter feat is just about impossible,
without taking into consideration the fact that
the Prussians have just put another army into
the, field, and are moving a second line into
France. If this force really is at Strasbourg,
its capture may be considered certain.
- E-COLORED- CADET.____
Some months ago, it will be remembered,
letter was--published, written by the --negro
cadet at West" Point, complaining that he was
subjected to outrageous persecution by the
while cadets. The staternents made in this
letter excited the indignation of all respectable
people,tand there was a very general demand
for an investigation of the charges and punish- ,
ment of the offenders. Such an investigation
has been made by a board of army oflicers,and
we are glad to learn that Cadet Smith indulged
in ekaggeration in his statements. The report
of the board, which seems to 'be fair and im
partial, declares that Smith was treated badly
by-only - three or—four-out—of—all-the—white - 7
cadets in the institution. One young man
named Gilmore assailed him with profanity
and offensive epithets while lie was in the.
ranks, and a few others insulted him and be
haved in such - a - manner- upon- one-occasion'
that, as the report says, _" their-operations were
of a nature to lead him to believe they were
preparing to blow him up with gunpowder."
Truly a mild and gentlemanly way of ex
pressing a prejudice against the negro race!
But it appears that the other cadets in the.
Academy !not only disapproved of these pone_
cutions, but they treated Smith with scrupu
lous politeness, and recognized his equal right
With theirs to a place in the institution. We
give this fact prominence because we have
condemned these young men as abettors of the
outrages practiced upon Smith. The profess
ors also have protected the negro to the full
extent of their ability, and the examination
which he declared was conducted with un
usual severity fer the purpose of excluding hirn;
proved , to-have , -been-- arranged-without-any
such design.
Undoubtedly Smith is to be blamed for
having exaggerated his grievances grossly ; but
we must remember that his assertions are
made in a private letter, which was published
probably without his knowledge. It must be
considered, also, that, whatever kind treatment
was extended to him, his position iu the Aca
demy was au isolated one, and that the natu
ral sense of his loneliness with the inevitable
.anticipation of persecution which he must
have had, disposed him to magnify whatever
insults he received, and to brood over them
until they seemed much greater. .than they
really were. For this reason we think the re
commendation of the board that he be court
martialed with the cadet who abused Mtn in
the ranks, is unnecessarily harsh. The Secre
tary of War has taken precisely the same view
of the matter, and has ordered that Smith be
-only : rept]) anded. II is chief-persecutor-is-to .un 7 -
dergo the same mild punishment, and warning
is given that if these troubles do not end here,
prompt and severe measures will be taken to
bring them to a conclusion. -
This settlement of the difliculty will be re
ceived generally with complete satisfaction.
But we are glad the subject was presented in
just such a shape. The charge that there was
an attempt on the part of the cadets and offi
cers of the Academy to oppose the laws and
t h e w i s he s 0 1 the people, provoked an express
ion of public sentiment so decided and general,
and played so conclusively that the authorities
are determined to have justice done, that we
.have no reason to apprehend that negro , cadets
at West Point will be persecuted more in the
future than the white ones. While the policy
of sending colored youths to the institution
may be an open question, both sides of which
are capable of strong defence, the fact cannot
be disputed that they have a right, to be there
and enjoy all the advantages of the Academy,
if they are appointed in a legal manner.

the days then Porter glorified the American

Government finds itself too poor to give the

Navy Appropriation bill, the Navy Department

Lord. Nelson was not more to the English
people than Admiral Farragut was to . the peo
iple of the United States. But there Is a strange
contrast in the action of the two nations upon
the deaths of their Naval'heioes. England con
-ferred-the-earldom-of-frrefalgar7and—Merton;
with an annual grant of £O,OOO on Lord Nel
son's brother; £lO,OOO were voted to *bitch of
'his two sisters, beside £lOO,OOO for the pur
chase of an estate for the new earldom. We
do not create earls, nor confer estates upon our
dead great men, but there is something dis
gracefully cheap about the idea that Congress
has 'refused to pay the ordinary funeral expen
ses of such a man as Davi4 .Farragut. • ,
The mystery surrounding the whereabouts
of the Boy, so far from being cleared up by
later advicei, grows deeper every day. It
seems tolerably certain that he is not in Lon
don. Even if the reporters had been baffled
by the clever device of hiding the boy among
the multitudes of the Smith family; bis carpet
bag, bulging with Imperial , brilliants, would
have - attracted the nnerring scent Of , the Lon
don detectives and_the London thieves. _.:lt is
about equao certain that he is not in Paris.
There is a chance, to be sure, that he may be
locked up safely in same back nursery of the
Imperial residence, but this is scarcely probable.
The idea that he is at Brest is, of Coarse, ab
sUrd. Diligent research at Metz has only gone
to -prove that he is not there. Re has not been
to church,as any fire-baptised Boy would have
been ; and he has not been seen p;cking up
stray balls about the camp, or inciting the gar
rison to tears by his tranquility. Yesterday
we caught a fitful gleam of the Boy, flitting
like a Will-o'-the-wisp from Metz to Verdun,
but as the Imperial despatch to Eugenie dates
on the same day from Longeville, in a totally
"different diteetion,This story of the - re-appear
nce-of-the-Boy-lacks contirmation,--Eversin
his baptism there has been a remarkable want
of confirmation . about the Boy and his move
ments, and the secret of his disappearance:must
be sought 1 or in some deep Napoleonic Strategy,
like that-which placed him in that dreadfully
perilous position at Saarbruck.
We may be wrong; and in times like these•
when the situation of affairs in Ectrope
changes so rapidly, the cable may a any
moment dispel our theory and establish
another diametrically opposed to, it. We may
be wrong; but this great State mystery, this
sudden disappearance of the Boy looks very
much like a retaliatory. measure, -The.-French
fleet has been, for two or three weeks, dawd
ling about the German Ocean-and the Baltic
in a condition of beWildering uselessness. It
is. in strong- force, and there -are plenty of
places upon which descents might be made
with splendid effect, but for orie single coil:
sideyation. , The- iprussiau_-Go.vernment las
removed all its.. Buoys from the threatened
positions, and' good-looking as the French iron
dads are, they are unable to come in. -
Napoleon, belieVing that the objective, poll)!
of the Prussian - armies is the Boy, has re
moved him, and the confused nature of to
day's and yesterday's despatches may be at
tributed wholly to thiS cause. The Prussians
do not know where to strike. Napoleon has
matched them at their own game. Louis is
no doubt safe. He proved himself such a
young salamander at, Saarbruck that his life is:.
probably insured by his Imperial father's
policy. The Buoys of the Baltic and the Boy
with the Bullet play an even game in thereat
struggle.
Every day brings fresh demonstrations of the
tui bi dent condition oldie masses of the French
people. Marseilles and Lyons are reported as
being the scenes of very serious disturbances,
crowds parading the streets with loud cries of
bas 1' E44pelyarr !'' while armed mobs are
springing up in Paris which are only held in
check by the utmost vigilance of troops and
police. Algeria is now reported as participating
in , the general disturbance, and has been placed
under martial law. With these multiplying
evidences of the dissatisfaction of the French
people and their colonies with Napoleonic rule
and policy it will only need another decisive
victory of the Prussians.—a victory which may
prove to have been already won,—to set the
smouldering elements in such a blaze as will
sweep Imperialism forever from the future
hiStory of France. Napoleon has as much to
fear from his own excitable and excited people
as be has from the heavy battalions of the vic
torious Prussians.
The present cool spell of weather would be,
an admirable opportunity to exercise the Super
annuated Scavenger Corps. The old gentle
men have had a quiet, peaceful summer, and
if they should go permanently into winter
quarters without the precaution of a lihle pre
liminary out-door exercise, there will be serious
risk of death from inaction before spring.
There are numerous fine bogs and morasses in
various parts of the city which might be
operated on with good effect. It is only out of
regard for their own health that any such sug
gestion is made. There is no necessity for it
growing out of any contract with the Board of
I lealtb, as that amiable body pays its contrac
tors without any regard to the question of the
pet formance of their duty.
On the 13th of last July the free baths of
the Bedford Street Mission went into opera
tion. During the succeeding month, up to the
13th inst., 1,030 women, 1,887 girls, 673 men,
and 2,000 boys enjoyed the bathing facilities .
afforded by the mission, making a total of 0,880
baths given since the, mission undertook the
work. One of the good results of OAS work

Two Battles on Sunday.
LoziL oN, August.l6.—The Telegraph believe.;
that two great battles were fought on Sunday
One at Pange, eight miles east of Meti, and
the other at Lobgueville. The first encounter
occurred. before - . the - French had_drawn off
their forces to cross the Moselle by, bridges
connecting with the work.s Of Meti.
The. Prussians assailed the French rear
guard - fririously, and attacking them by flank
and rear, pushed the French to the veryverge
of the works of thelortress. The French suc
ceeded in effecting a lodgment behind the
t'Dtrenchments.
Here they made a determined stand and re
sisted the Prussian as.. , ault. A second contest
then ensued, which resulted in the repuhie of
the Prussians in an almost hand-to-hand en
counter upon the walls of the outer line of
works.
The Prussians, though stubbornly contest,
fng the ground, were beaten off by the lior , tile
Tua.s.ses,supported by the fortifications.

ST. PETERSBURG, August IG.—The Russian
_National Press betrays considerable anxiety
regarding the recent successes of the Prussian
armies in their encounters with the armies of
France. It is thought that the supremacy of
Prussia upon the continent, should she in the
present Conflict prove victorious, would be
more dangerous to the interests of Russia than
would the supremacy of France—if the latter
should defeat the Prussian adversary.
In the latter instance the supremacy of
France would not be feared as menacing. The
Goloss, semi-official journal of the Russian
Empire, proposes that after a decisive victory
has been won by either of the belligerent
powers a Congress of the powers of Europe.

In an interview with a reporter, Archbishop
Purcell stated that,. without a wish to offend
the many Germans of the Church, he could
not conceal his sympathy with France, and
trusted she may yet conquer. Relative to the
annunciation of.the dogma of Infallibility, His
•G race ei s pressed the opinion it would not be
proclaimed till the close of the business pro
, gramme, which, at. ,present.,.rate .of _pro
gresS, will be an unknown time.
Be coincided with the Bishop of Paris that
the decree could not be binding till the Coun
cil shall have closed and the Pope proclaimed
it under the signatures of the Bishops, But if
the Pope is infallible ' as he considers- liiriiself
to he, lie will do as be pleases. Be believes
the annunciation will not be with extraordi
nary ceremonies, but will merely he officially
announced and published. Be stated it was
underAtood the Jesuits had refused absolution
tin Cologne) to persons declining to acknoW
-ledge before:its proclamation, and

Workingmen's Atmocl at lou=—F,mfg-riit ion
The General Council of the International
Workingmen's - Associati on . has . Passed a reso
lution to establish an Emigration Bureau in
conjunction with this intssiOn, and in all cases,
strikes in Ameriea , to prevent workingmen
from emigrating to_ the United States, to Ue
used by capitalists against the workingmen
here.
The action of the last Congress was reviewed
especially with reference to grants of public
lands to monopolists and railway corpora
tiorif;, and the corrupt influence of the Na
tional banks was regarded as tending, with
the other syniptoms of robbery, to deprive the
workingman of his right, and to cause the
idlenes's and helplessness of thell3o,ooo labor
lug men whom he had found within the last
year to be without occupation for nearly. four
months iu the year.
he idleness of every man cost the nation
two dollars a day, yet their idleness did not
result from a want of material but from a
want of the proper legislation. The beneficial
effects which would be derived from green
backs as a currency were discussed, and the
financial theory permitting the conversion of
currency into bonds drawing three per cent.
interest, and rice renso, was strongly advo
cated as tending to reduce bank rates of
interest and to equalize and adjust the circu
lation so as to prevent speculation, to reduce
the taxes and encourage employment.
It was held to be the duty of the GOvern
meat to devote a large extent of the cOuntry
to a liberal employment of the thousands of
working people, and to develop the bound
less fields of the West so as to direct there
the sttrpfils . population of the cities, and to
create a market for manufactures. He alluded
to the Chinese labor question. Voluntary
immigration was welcomed, but importation
was denounced.
The authorship of the address is accredited
to L. A. Heine, editor of the Cincinnati
Tines. Delegates from the National Colored
Labor Association, of Baltimore, were re
ported last evening; also, the Arbeiter Union,
of .New York ; the United Hod Carriers' and
Laborers' Association, of Philadelphia ; the
Colored Teachers' Co-operative Association,
of Cincinnati ; the State Labor Union. of Mis
souri; the-R'orkingwomeWs Co-operative Asso
ciation, of Chicago ; the Sewing Girls' Union,
of Chicago, and the Iron Moulders' Union, of
St- Louis. The afternoon session was occu
pied by the report of the Committee on Cre
dentials. The Ladies' Benevolent Bureau was
represented by Mrs. Lane, of Boston, and a
ltvely debate ensued between a New York
delegate, Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Hathaway,
whose delegation was questioned. But a vote
being taken, .:the ease was decided for ad
mission.
W. Sutro, of Nevada, represented One of
the largest co-operative associations in the
country and appeared without credentials, but
was admitted to the privilege of the floor
without a vote until his authorization was an
swered by telegraph.
The Committee on the Report and Platform
assembled at St. James hotel. The Com
mittee on Report concluded to recommend to
the committees that part referring to the
clerical services of political organizations and
to recommend that referring to laud grants•,
internal national improvements, and their ap
probation of the entire report.

armb.s. of these despatches the reader will be fully
poss,ssed by a perusal of the columns devoted to their
at,nounceinent but reaching the Gold Boom as they
seed piecemeal and in contradictory and condicting
tones, they led fo a feverish, although a not very active
market. '1 o day in France is what the Fourth of July
is NV it 11 us—the great national holiday—and bete,
it is easy to understand the specul.tive
spit it which kept gold strong at 1173.‘ iu the ea rlv fore

tors whet watch the gold dial so ere buyers, iu the bePot
that on the idle Napoleon the French array would
do something to retrieve the recent disasters to French
ye,tige. 7 nese expectations were astonishingly die •
appointed later in the day , when it became evident that
the latest engagement of the two armies had not been a
defeat of the Prussians. At first it was pronounced an
undoubted Prussian victory .and the telegraphic message
of liMg William to his consort at Berlin was cited use
authority. The effect was a decline in gold to
especially as LOME came 87. t.. from London. Then Na
poleon's version was published. showing Is bloody re
pulse of the Prnssians, and gold ran back to 117!..i, tie
upward movement bt ing accelerated, however, by a
Gpurely local influence, viz.: the discovery, that the
old Batik. after the clearances of the day, retained a
balance ot only half a million gold. This so frightened
the •'shorts"—who have been in constant terror. Ewing
to the largely oversold condition of the nine
kit—that the more timid of them began to rotor
and continued buying until they found that th •
foreign bankers were again selling_om later _and " anti •
able' Intelligence that it was a Prussian victory and
that the French bad fallen still further back on the line
to Paris. Gold now dropped off to'llet% and closed at
117. As to the item about the Gold Bank, it curiously
illustrates how extensive are the speculative and liner
limited the legitimate dealings in gold. Although the
clearances to-day, including gold bought and sold and
the renewal of contracts between the " shorts" and the
64 bulls," reached $;42.000o00. the actual gold in the
clearing house to-night is only e 595,000.
It is a curious evidence of the antipathy. of the street
to the speculators who depressed our bonds by their nu-,
.fair hammering of the market that the investment de
mand remains quietly in abeyance,althoue h it ems likely
to he stilled into activity to-day by the quotation of ,47±
for tive-twentics in London following the news of the
fighting in Western France, as against 86.4, the opening
price this morning.. However. as the London Exchange
by its system of "ten share" transactions enables specu
lators here to operate by the purchase there of a few t hon.
s,ind bonds Torun the price tip. so 'Marti an advance
was not believed to be other than the result of special
artificial manipulation. and hence the dubious home
investors refuse el to take the bonds off the hands of the
foreign bankers who are so ready to sell. Tho Coln,

the apparent buoyancy abroad. While it is undoubted
that our bonds in Europe will recover their original
position at par in gold, their progress will not be so un
healthily quick as reported to-day by the cable.

WAsniztorox, Aug. 16.—The Pennaylvania

to an understanding with the Congressional

Say, this association shall have trans
ferred to it authority to collect
froin citizens hailing, or pretending
to hail from Pennsylvania, assessments that
have been made by the Congressional Com
mittee, or, if in its judgment, it iS thought that
the funds could be better raised by a subscrip

assessment or subscription any office-holder

should berieliased either from the fact that he
goes home to vote of from some peculiar hard

seeing that every man does his duty, and the
names of those it shall be satisfied do not do
their whole duty to the party may be
reported to the Congressional Committee to
be dealt with as it may deem advisable. The
funds collected in this manner may be .dis

Labor Convention.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 16.—1 n the morning ses
sion of the Labor Convention the Secretary
tendered his resignation, and some diflictilty
was experienced in obtaining a performance
of that service.
The privilege of the floor was tendered to
the H on. S. F. Cary.
A like motion in reference to Langston
(colored) excited discussion.
The motion was lost by a vote of 23 to 25.
After this failure an eflbrt was made toTay
it on the table. On the announcement of the
vote several members rose excitedly and
asked a reconsideration.
Coffin, of Washington, could see no reason
to exclude Langston because of his reported
connection with the Republican party, when
Cary, a professed Democratic politician, had,
the privilege of the Ihfor extended just
ously.
The MassaChusetts delegation opposed
Langston, and the point of order was raised,
and decided that he was an accredited mem
ber of the Convention, and would be duly ad
mitted on presentation of his credentials. A
vote on the previous question was given with
individual explanations.
Collin again denounced the discrimination
used, and asserted that the Convention owed
more to the Republican party than to the De
mocratic. This allusion produced a state of
confusion.
An effort to extend the same privilege to the
Hon. T. B. Pinchbeck, of Louisiana, failed.
The following additional associations were
admitted to • representation : Cigar-makers,
No. 4, of Cincinnati ; Industrial' League, of
Vallejo, California.
