CONTRADICTOR* WAS REPORTS.
Yesterday the cable despatches asserted
positively that Bazaine had withdrawn the mass
of his army from Metz by way of Thionville,
and then •in a northwesterly direction to
Mezieres or Montmedy. It was considered
certain then, that he would ascend the valley
of the Aisne river from this position, and join
ing MacMahon's army, make a stand in front
of Chalons. This Morning this news is re
affirmed in one - despatch and - contradieted - -in
several others. The latter says that Bazairie
remains in the _vicinity of Metz; and_ merely
controls the line of communication by way of
Thionville and Mezieres. We learn from the
same authority that MacMahon is moving
rapidly to the support of Bazaine, by thisroute,
and a junction of the two armies near Metz
may be expected very soon. Which of these
entirely contradictory statements is correct it
is quite impossible to determine. We can only
say to the reader as the showman said to the
spectator when he asked if a certain animal
was a chimpanzee or a wild_man of the moun
tains, " you pays your money and you takes
your choice."
- It may be urged, however, that there are
several practical reasons why the latter story is
doubtful. If MacMahon joins Bazaine, at Metz,
the only result will be the reinforcement of the
French armthe maintenance of a circuit
ous and hardly rotee . ted line of communica
yeti
Lions. Bazaine would still occupy his old dis
advantageous position, with a powerful army
ietween-him and Parisrand - withno:chance - o '
retreat excepting upon the are'of a 'circle along
the chord of which the Prussians could move
andintercepthinaT — lrtticstriry - 18 - true; STS6, -
MacMalion's withdrawal to the assistance of
Bazaine-would-uncover Chalons, and leave no
important-body of Fiala troops between the
Prussian army in front of Metz and the fortifi
cations of Paris. The, situation then would
be, that two immense forces of Prussians, the'
_main. army before Metz and the independent
body of the Crown Prince, would occupy all the
territory between Metz and Paris, unless, in
deed, MacMahon left a small, insignificant
force in the camp at Chalons. We know
that the Crown Prince is in the vicinity of the
latter place, and that he has a splendid army,
which has not been engaged since the battle at
Woerth. One report says that this force has
been withdrawn to reinforce the main body;
but this is at least doubtful. Even if such
were the case, and - Bazaine remained at Metz,
he would still
,occupy a very dangerous posi
tion. We know that he fought desperately
during the whole of last week to get away
from Metz and secure retreat to Paris by way
of Verdun. Be would hardly be likely then
to remain satisfied in the position he was
forced to occupy, while any means of escape is
open to him. Metz is of no importance what
ever in presence of the fact that Paris is
uncovered.
As we can only theorize in the absence of
definite information, we may suggest as a pos
sible explanation of the situation that Bazaine
really has withdrawn from Metz, arid now
occupies a position along his line of communi
cation—say from Biiey to Montmedy, or from
Etain to Vouzieres, a line stretching from
east to west and facing south. Of course this
would only be preliminary to a movement
southward with the design of - fronting east—
perhaps in the vicinity of Chalons. or maybe
nearer Paris. The only hope of success seems
to lie in Bazine's ability to interpose his force
between the Prussians and the capital. We
believe he will make a strenuous effort to do
this without any more fighting; and the only
way in which it can be accomplished is to
'withdraw to the northwest and then ascend
the valley of the Aisne or of the Marne. Both
armies are too much exhausted to begin an
other series of engagements until they have
been reinforced heavily. MacMahon's duty,
if he has reached Bazaine, will probably be to
help him change his position; while upon the
Crown Prince, if he is on the ground, will
devolve the labor of following the movements
of the enemy and of harrassing him whenever
an opportunity offers.
THE CUBAN INSUBBECTION.
The
.Cuban papers in this country have just
made a stiasmodic glorification over a series of
alleged Cuban successes, reported via Jamaica,
in which it was asserted that the Spanish
troops bad suffered very severe losses. But for
the pre-occupation of the public mind with
European affairs, these reports would have
attracted considerable interest, and Cuban
stock would have taken quite a buoyant tone.
It is just as well that it did not, for the later
official repoits direct from Havana show that
the Spanish troops are crushing out the insur
gent fume with a summary savageness which
looks as if it was taking advantage of the
Franco-Prussian diversion of the world's at
tention to close up the Cuban insurrection by
a wholesa l e slaughter.
The Guceia publishes the officialdintelligence•
of the butchering of a number of Cuban oft
k,ers of high rank, including General Pedro
yiguerdo, ASsistant Secretary of War, General.
Roderigo Taymayo, General Pearalta, Colonel
3tiarno, Colonel Fernandez, and other officers,
with a considerable number of men. Th e
Spaniards are evidently carrying on the work
of extermination, with a total , disregard of all
the ruleS of civilized warfare, taking no prison
ers, except general officers, who . are executed
with little or no form of military law:: The
wholesale slaughter of the general officers of
the Insurgents, if it occurred in battle, would
BULLETIN.
All through the summer there has been a
great amount of work going on, all along the
principal streets of Philadelphia, and the ab
sentee population returning home will find the
cobble-stones in better condition than they
have been in for years past. This work has
been done by the various railroad companies,
instigated thereto by the vigorous action of the
Citizens' Association. The ruts and hills and
hollows which made driving and hauling over.
. the principal streets such a desperate business,
have been filled up and levelled down, so that,
considering that it is still that horrible nuisance,
a cobble-stone pavement, the surface of many
of the streets is almost respectable.
But while the railroad companies have thus
been busy, all summer, in the good work of
putting the streets in somewhat better order,
it is equally true that; in another and equally
important sense, there has beena grievous and
unpardonable neglect of the streets during all
this same period. It is almost literally true
that the Board of Health has done no work at
all upon the streets of Philadelphia dur
ing the last three months. Through
all the fearful heat of the season now nearly
past; io - altemprlias been Made to eleari• the
streets; so far as our somewhat gen,eral
observation has extended. The citizens who
are compelled to spend the summer in the city
have been subjected to all the annoyance and
discomfort and danger of filthy gutters, whose,
stagnant corruption is an outrage upon the
senses, of reeking sewers whose pestilent
miasmas load the evening air with their offen
sive odors, of public highways strewn with
dirt and kitchen garbage, the whole condition
of the streets proclaiming the criminal neglect of
contractorsrand the wasteful extraVaganee and
culpable.failure of duty of the Board of Health.
Thousands of dollars of the public money have
been'paid out by the Board of Health ':,o these
men, who prey upon the city treasury for work
which they scarcely pretend to have done,
and most of which they have made no sign of
doing.
Is it not high time that this state of things
were broken up? Have there not been thou
sands enough wasted upon the miserable sys
tem which produces such disgraceful results:'
—Snrely-tbere-is-some-power-behind—the-Board
of Health which' can compel that body to giv
an account of its stewardship. It has-the power
to make contracts and to call upon the city to
pay for_ them. But there must be a power
with :Councils, who provide and appropriate
these wasted thousands of dollars, to exact a
ompliance with the contracts before the money
ay safely be asserted, without
fear o eessful contradiction, that not a sin
gle one of the present street contracts has been
complied with, in letter or in spirit. It is time
_
this expensive farce was ended.- And we
know no better work that the Citizens' As
sociation can take up, than the
,work of a
thorough investigation into, and exposure
of the condition of the streets of Phila
delphia in regard to cleanliness. The ex
cellent results which have followed this line
of procedure in the case of the railway com
panies, give every reason to believe that a simi
lar dealing with the Board of Health will pre
duce equally . good results, Let the inspectors
of the Citizens' Association make a thorough
survey of the streets, with an eye to their filthy
condition, as they did when they took up the
condition of the pavements. And then let the
Association make a similar public exposure of
what their Inspectors have seen, asking the in
tervention of the Courts to restrain the Board of
Health from paying out money for work which
is not done.
be a legitimate method of bringing the • insur
rection to a speedy termination. But these
butcheries in cold blood which have marked
this struggle on both sides, only indicate the
ferocious instincts of the contending races,
while they provoke fresh retaliations, and ex
cite the fresh disgust of the civilized world.
THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA.
Such a course as this will produce one of two
results: It will either force the Board of Health
to re-organize its whole system of dealing with
these street contracts, or it will induce the pres
ent Board to resign, and give the Courts an
opportunity to try whether new brooms in that
department of the City Government will not
sweep cleaner.
We know of no work in which the Citizens'
Association could more properly or more use
fully exert itself. It is au independent body of
citizens, having no end to serve but the public
good. Its management is in the hands of gen
tlemen who are known and respected through
out this community. And if it can succeed
either hi rousing or routing the Board of
Health it will confer even a greater benefit upon
the community than when it waked up the
Board of Presidents to the necessity of "put
ting their house in order."
HIJMILIATION
Just after Archbishop Purcell's intimation
that__ he has accepted the -dogma -of-Papal
infallibility, despite his conviction of its folly,
we have information that 'Cardinal Prince
Schwarzenburg, Cardinal Rauscher and other
dissenting prelates, have sent to the Pope their
adhesion to the dogma of infallibility. The
two Cardinals we have nameil were among the
most prominent and powerful of the members
of the Council who opposed the promulgation
of the dogma. They wrote and spoke against
the scheme with boldness, eloquence and some.
times even with intense bitterness. Cardinal
Rauscher issued a pamphlet proving that the
success of the Jesuits in this matter would in
flict irreparable injury upon the Church; and
in a speech before the assembled fathers lie
proclaimed the same sentiments and accompa
nied them wit overp wering arguments. He
discussed the su ect hiefly from a social point
of view, and demonstrated that Papal infalli
bility would entail the overthrow of all the ex
isting relations between modern States and the
church of Rome. His prophecy bas already
been partially fulfilled notably in the cases of
France, Italy, Austria,' which has broken
the cOricordat, Bavaria, Spain, Russia, ant],
we mistake not, Prussia,
cardinal Prinee.SchtVarvenburg, of Austria,
in denOiniCing the dogma titied..the following
strong language;
"He who exalts himself shall be abased. In
the days of Boniface VIII. the papacy sought
to raise itself above all civil authorities and it
has been miserably degraded as a temporal
power. At the present time it seeks to set
itself above every other spiritual power ; it
will be spiritually cast dawn, creating at the
same time an abyss between the Church and
Boeiety.! •
At mother time ' e Cardinal .said, "All

religion is at an end in Bohemia if this defi
nition is of - And yet in the face of
these assertions, in violence to what we know
'to bo their deep conscientious convictions, in
defiance of their own fulfilled prophecies anti
their incontrovertible argumentS, these • two
liberal and powerful men have submitted to
the voice of the slavish majority and have
accepted the dogma with the understanding
that they are to instruct their , people to accept
it and believe it as a , necessary part of their
religion! It is impossible to contemplate such
a spectacle without a teeling of ,pity for the
victims, who were not strong enough to follow
the dictates of their own reason and their own
consciences in defiance of the will of a majority
of their less enlightened colleagues. We cannot
hope that any benefit will accrue to the Church'
from the promulgation of a dogma which thus
humiliates its ablest members by violating
their consciences and compelling them to teach
what they believe to be error.
The revenue officers yesterday broke up an
illicit distillery in the southeastern part. of the
city, which is said to have been broken up four
or five times, the lawless business being re
sumed, again and again, in flagrant defiance of
the efforts of the Gov,ernment officers to sup
pressit. In the effort to arrest the guilty par
ties, the officers were assailed by an angry
mob, beaten and bustled until' one of their
. prisoners escaped, and the other only secured
after
.desperate fight. A guard of marines
was required to protect the officers in convex_
ing their first prisoner and those whom they
arrested for aiding the rescue before the United
States Commissioner. After the preliminary
hearing, - before - Ribler, which
clearly established the outrageous and lawless
conduct of the 'Effinger gang and their accom
plices,the whole party were admitted to a moder
ate bail,which was given by one Charles Moore.
on the charge of rescuing prisoners; and then
one of the accused rioters was allowed to gicc
bail for his brother on the charge of illicit did
tilling.
We trust that Judge Cadivalader will have
the opportunity of making an early and Sum
mary disposition of these cases. This outlawry
which persists in this illicit trade in the meanest
and worst poison, and which then incites to
mobs snit riots, threatening the lives of the
officers of the law, and bringing the law itself
into contempt, needs to be crushed out by the
heaviest visitations of the penalties of outraged
Justice.
We are glad to see that the. Republican State
Central-Committee-has-not-acted as published
3 re.l3,Orts indicated, in the case of the nomination
in the Second Congressional District. It now
-appears-thatlhe Committee-- took- -a --perfectly
correct course in the matter, refusing to take
the case up, and referring the question of its
jurisdiction in such cases - to a sub-committee,
which committee has, as yet, taken no action
in the matter. This is creditable to the State
Central Committee, as a proper recognition of
the action of the City Executive Committee,
and a practical intimation of its intention to act
in entire harmony and accord with_ the local
committees of the State.

Disturbances In the Corps Leals
Imperial Decree.
LONDON, Aug. 24.—Telegrunq from—Paris
announce that a grave disturbance occurred
yesterday in the Corps Legisl<itif, the sessions of
which were attended with vehement denunci
ations, tumult and rancorous debate.
The occasion of the disturbance were the
reading of the proposition of M. Keratry re
lative to the formation of the Committee of
Defence.
The greatest uproar and contusion was pro
voked on the presentation of the proposal.
Immediately the Deputies on both sides of
the Chamber arose and vehemently com
menced stating their views and dislikes.
The members of the Left persisted in accu
sing the majority with having caused the war
by their aggravating course in sustaining the
Ministry in the Hohenzollern matter, and by
other needless acts of incitement. The mem
bers of the majority denied the accusations of
provoking the conflict.
The entire Chamber was in a fearful dis
order,w hen the President arose and terminated
the session
The sitting was ended tumultuously and the
reporters were ordered to leave.
The Demands of the Left Granted.
The :Joirnal Officiel, to-day, contains an Im
perial decree adding to the Committee of
Defence, as already constituted, the names of
Deputies----Thiers,----T-alhouet,--: Dupuis and
Delorme,and Senators.Malinet and Behicas,as

Prospects of a Mediation.
PARIS via LONDON, August 24.—At the
Foreign Office everything remains quiet.
There are several informal conferences among
the different diplonmtists, but no mention of
any peace overtures, as the English papers
report.
All that is known here is that Count Von
Bismarck indirectly sent information to
Prince La Tour D'Auvergne stating that
Prussia would only conclude peace upon a
basis which will make. it imnossible for
France to think of future revenge.
Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, Minister of
the Marine,at the session of the Corps Legisla
tif,ivas reticent equally as the rest of the Gov

He intimated subsequently, however, that
good news might shortly be expected from the

WEDNESDAY, August 24.—The banks continue to
plead poverty as au excuse for refusing applications for
discounts, but it is noticed that they lend freely on call
loans and choice collateral securities. This shows that
they are not so poor as they profess, though we can
scarcely blame them for preferring to keep their means
well in hand, in view of any emergency which may
arise.
The feature of the market is so uncertain that cau
tion now may stave oil a very serious stringency later
on in the season. The rates range from to 7 per
cent. on call, and from 7 to 9 per cent. ou commercial
paper.
The gold market is !excited and strong, opening at
advancing to 117%, and closing at 11736.

The altered aspect of the war news withdrawing from
the market that opposition to a rise which was offered
by the German bankers during the receipt of despatches,
favorable to Prussia, the feeling in the room, based upon
various theories, appeared to be all on one Bide, and the
advance was Steady through Out the day with only
slight fluctuation, the highest figure -of tile. premium
being reached at the clear} of: business. The . influences
operating to this were first, no doubt, the change in the
military situation. The constant and it appeared un
interrupted successes ofthe Prussians had become so
identified with a falling premium that it was a natural
'result that their first reverses should be oppositely op.

of the state of the bond Market there 'helped this
conclusion. The first price there represented bonds to

making a squeeze. This report could not be tract

as probable that the suspicion originated in the fa, or•

It is doubtless recollected that about this

fear of history repeating itself may be in the minds of
many of the sufferers by that incident, especially as its
chief promoters still move in the same sphere, more ad

they brought about. A more reasonable solution of the
change in the condition of the market is tO
be found In the large outstanding short interest,
.which_, notwithstanding the purchases of yesterday,
caused a demand this morning for cash geld, the
loaning rates ranging from 1 and 2 per cent. for
carrying to flat and 1 and 2 per Cent. for borrowing.
It would not need much prudence to prevent one going
short of gold on the eve of such a great battle as is
now impending, especially considering how iniperfet
is our knowledge of the condition of the opposing
armies, nor would it be considered over-caution
for one who was short to cover at such time. In
view of these facts it would seem as though there were
quite enough in the natural causes operating upon the
market to bring about the advance of to-day, after all
less thin one per cent., without a dreaded corner,"

The government market was wholly without interest
today. Transactions continue to be on a very limited
scale, and prices without important change. It is an
nounced front Washington that the government will
commence the payment of the interest on the September
coupons on ?dot day without rebate. The amount to be
disbursed is about 64,000.000.

PARIS, Aug. 24.—A despatch from gfezieres,
dated yesterday afternoon, containsthe follow-
The resistance of Marshal • Bazaine, even
with the small force under Ids command, pre-.
vented the advance of the Prussians until the
organization of MacMahon's large army was
entirely completed. .
Macffation and Bazalne
are now ready to assume the offensive, and it
is expected they will immediately attack the
Prussians together.
The Likerte says the army of the Prince
Royal, which reached St. Dezier some days
ago, has not passed that place, but, on, the
contrary, has fallen back. The same journal
adds that it knows from .a reliable sourcethat
the loss of the Prussian arinies is, thus far,.
thirty-live thousand killed and eighty-five
thousand wounded.
Ley nos, Aug. 24.—The following despatch
from Paris - contains the very latest intelli
gence from the seat of war.
The Situation at Metz.
Metz is entirely isolated. The Prussians are
strong in the west of that vicinity. General
Failly, who commands at Chalons, is still
there, but by a.--new disposition—has-been
•ded;
Mac Motion's Position.
. _
General MacMalion is strongly posted in
the plains before Chalons, with heavy detach
ments at Saint Menehould, Verdun and
- Rheims. MaeMahon has 17.5,000 men well
supplied with food, ammunition and artillery.
Sharpshooters are hastening to Chalons.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The Paris corres
pondent of the Ccurrier des Etats-Unis tele
graphs to-day as follows;
The bprightly element of the Parisian peo
ple accommodates itself with difficulty to the
reign of .silence which the Ministry
imposes on us. So many blunders
were committed in the opening of this war
that it is feared this change in the nolicy of
Count Palikao only conceals
Some NOW /Mistake.
It would be easy to dissipate this impres
sion, but it would not be right, and no one
'wishes to do it
I saw to-day part of a despatch from Ba
zaine, which the Minister of War communi
cated to the Corps Legislatif. It was couched
in general terms, but it could never have
come from a conquered man or one doubtful
of success.
Bazaine wished to leave Metz, but he was
not able. On his side, the enemy in return
wished to seize and cut his communications
with Paris, nor did he succeed any better.
This is in two words the situation and expla
nation of the recent engagements. We have
sustained severe and heaVy losses; it is said,
but those of the enemy have been enormous
and out of all proportion to the merely nega
tiveadvantage which he has gained.
It is difficult to obtain accurate news of
what has taken place at Chalons or in the
neighborhood. At the War Department they
peremptorily refuse to say anything on the
subject, but some papers, the Patrie and
Presse r among others, announce that the corps
of MacMahon and Failly have succeeded in
reaching Argonneg, and by a.liank mardliTrotti
that place will effect a junction with Bazaine .
1 believe some of the troops lately encamped
at Chalons have gone thither, but I can affirm
nothing certainly.
I am assured that the Prwian Prince
Royal has given over his direct march on Paris,
and that he waits for the Prussian army before
Metz to deliver a great battle. Other de
spatches say that he is at Bar-le-Duc.
Everything from that direction is confused,
and believe that these reports are put iu
circulation by the enemy to make the Paris
ians believe that all immediate dancer has
been dispelled, and to calm their patriotic
ardor to place the capital in a state of de
fence.
The Emperor is at Rheims. He awaits
_ap
opportunity to victoriously break the silence .
At the Ministry of Foreign Afthirs every
thing is quiet.- There are certain mysterious
rumors among the diplomatic corps, but there
has been no proposition for preliminalies of
peace as ;I have read in some of the MigliSh
papers.
I knowthat Bismarck has indirecty informed
De la Tour d'A.nvergne that Prussia will not
treat for peace until she can do it.on condi
tions which will make it IrnPossible for France
to take revenge hereafter. It is not then our
abasement but our destruction which the
Prussian Minister seeks. France will answer

committed, in Eighth avenue,
at one o'clock,
at a clothing store, kept by Abraham Sher
win. The burglar got over an iron grating,
with sharp points at the top, but which did
not reach within three feet of the ceiling. He
climbed over this through a tan-light at the
top of the outside door. Gas-lights were burn
ing in the store at the time. He succeeded, in
throwing out a large quantity of valuable
clothing to confederates, and had the audacity
to dress himself up and leave his dirty and
worn-out clothing behind.
One of the gang, Cornelius Ferguson, aged
22, was arrested this morning at Twentieth
street and Sixth avenue, with a portion of the
clothing in a bundle. He had on a stolen suit
of clothes recognized by Sherwin.
The discovery of the burglary 'was not
known till about six o'clock this morning,
when the gas lights were still burning.
