SIB: Your letter of tlie 7tli inst, informing me tliat 1 ana not Chairman of tlie Executive Committee of tie Republican State Central Committee, anil that none of the gentlemen ■w ho sign the tuition of that Committee, under date of Kcptember_Gth,-are membersof the same, has been dply received. .' l'umltme to express, iu behalf of .the Com mittee and myself, surprise, wii h my receipt of your letter, I find the same pu mulgatid to the public in the advertising columns of the daily press. 1 would submit for your information that at the meeting of tie State Committee held at Altoona, August ltitb, 1870, Mr. Patterson, of Juniata county, offered the resolution direct ing .that the dispute in the Second Congressional District be referred to the Exe cutive Committee, and that both the parties he afforded an opportunity to be heard before that committee. ; '■ : ; Mr. ELeistand, of -Lancaster, desired tu be informed who the gentlemen were constitut ing that Committee. Either Mr. Quay or Mr IJi n.meiSly, Secretaries of the. State Central C< ii mittee, announced as the Committee: Mr. Leeds,' Chairman; Messrs. Elliott, Titti imaiy and Miller, of Philadelphia; Mac- Say, "of Allegheny 4 Scranton, of Luzerne and GaiTettson, of Schuylkill. . You ac c< ptt’d, without a single remark; ncr was there an expression from any gentle - man present taking exceptions to the gentle men named as constituting the Committee appointed by youTself last year. The gentle men constituting this Committee assisted Trr aMirer Bingham, during the last canvass, in obtaining funds, and under your and his in >tiuction, expended moneys, adjusted difficul ties, and performed every function pertaining to an < xecutive committee. . The Cen. mittee,of wbiehlam Chairman, ac cepted the responsibility placed upon it by the general committee, at Altoona, and in *ni,< e re observance of the responsibility of the. fe rohit-ion, notified Messrs. Creely and O’Neill that they would be afforded an opportunity to he heard in the matter of their dispute be fore the sub-committee. At the first and second meetingsof the sub-committee there was no quorum, but at the third meeting, a iiuuruni beirg.pre.sent, an. .examination was entered into, and a conclusion arrived at n bicli the Committee believe would bring har mony to. the. party ih that District. This Committee, from Its announcement in the meeting at Altoona, up to the date of its final action,acted in accordance with the spirit oi i lie State Central Committee’s resolution, and for the good of the Republican party. You never officially notified me or the com mittee that we were not the Executive Com mittee until your published letter of the 7th ins:. What you assume now to be the Execu tive Committee is either of recent appoint ment. or you permitted the general committee at Altoona to be deceived as to who consti tuted it. That we were appointed as an Execu tive Committee by you and performed the duties during the last campaign is and was certainly the opinion of the undersigned W tether or not you had two Executive Com miners is best known to yourself. Mr. Dickinson, so far as I am aware, did.not. act as Chairman of aay Executive Committee during the last campaign. Mr. H.G.Jenes also states that he never knew he was on any con mittee. In fact, no one of the Committee knew anything about it except Mr. Penny packer ; how he obtained his information, you are probably aware of. My reputation, and the good name of the gentlemen associated with me,isas well known in this community as your own; the unwar rantahle allegation contained in your letter of the 7th inst. forces me, in view of the recent honor which the party have tendered me, to publish this stat ement. I respectfully request that the State Central Committee be reconvened and the question settled as to who constitutes the Executive Committee. Should you determine to ignore my request, I would respectfully tender to the State Committee my resignation of member ship. ' Very respectfully, WM.B. LEEDS. As members of the Executive Committee of the State Central Committee, we endorse the statements set forth in Mr. Wm. R. Leeds’s letter, and unite with him in requesting the reconvening of the General Committee forthe purpose named. Should you determine to ig nore this request, we would respectfully ten der to the State Committee our resignations of membership. Yours, respectfully, . ; Ciias. A. Millek, lt§ : . W. Elliott.. R.

London, Sept. o.—ft is the impression here in high official circles that Prance will accept any terms short of the dismemberment of her territory, in refusing which she. is supported ,by Russia. It is believed the republican gov ernment wifi consent'to pav a iarge indem nity, to dismantle the frontier fortresses, and largely to reduce the standing army. The latter, indeed, she will be bound in any event to do, in order to recover the finances of France. More than this, I am assured in the highest quarrers, will not- for a moment be conceded. If Prussia should insist on the cession of Alsace and of Lorrainey or even of Metz and Strasbourg, the war will as sume » new and most terrible character. The general feeling in London is that Germany has a military right to demand theexpeuses of the war, with reasonable guarantees tor her future security ; but that she has no right to attempt to degrade and humiliate Prance. It is quite certain that if she attempts to do this she -will be met by one of the- most formidable Euro pean coalitions ever formed, and -that no. man can predict the Issues of the conflict. • t •tales Fnvre to Lord Lyons. Paius, Sept. 9.—1 am enabled to inform you by authority that, in an interview yesterday held afTthe Ministry-of Foreign Affairs, Mi Jules Favre assured Lord Lyons the republic did not-wisb to inherit the wars of the empire ; that the provisional government would very gladly conclude peace as soon as possible on any terms not absolutely dangerous*and-dishonor able to France. M. Favre asked bis Lordship if the English Cabinet would interfere and sug gest terms of peace, to be offered by. Prussia, such as he could be assured that France would accept. ; Lord Lyons replied that, - though England would be delighted to help tej bring the war to an end, he had no authority to say that she would undertake to suggest terms of peace to either combatant. M.Favre then said it would be impossible for France to make any such suggestion, and tlie interview was brought to a close'— World. fßy Mail ] Mediation of the United Mates Requested by France. The State Department to-day received a des patch from the Provisional Government of France asking for the mediation of the United States in connection with the leading Powers, of Europe in the interest of peace, and for securing such terms of settlement as France can accept with honor. The despatch explains that it is a copy of a joint note addressed to neutral European Powers. The President ex pressed great satisfaction at receiving the des patch, and the subject will be the chief matter for consideration in Cabinet meeting to-mor mow. at which Secretaries Fish, Cox and Robeson will be present.— WaMoyion Correa poiidmcc -Horton AdvertUer, .Sepf. 8. - ; THE DISASTER AT SEA. I'ULJLKK PARTICULARS. losiiof the Eneliab lion>C'la<i Captain— Five flandrul 3L.tves JLost. Lonpon, Sept. 9, 1870.—The English iron plated steamer Captain has been lost off Finisterre, France. All on hoard, 500 in num ber, perished. Among the victims are Oapt. Cotvper Coles, Lord Northbrook,.and .son. of Mr. Childers,First Lord of the Admiralty. The Admiralty has just received a telegram front Admiral Sir A ndrew Miilan,.on board Her Majesty’S shin the Lord Warden, off Cape Finisterre, in Galicia. The despatch is dated the . 7th of September, comes by. way of Lis lton, and is as follows: .'.-'.'3 To tha lAirdu of Achniroltii. I very mneb re gret to have to send you the painful intelli gence that her Majesty’s ship Captain must have foundered during the. night close to this ship. At’2 o’clock this morning a sudden gale came up from the southeast, with a very heavy sea. At daybreak this morning the Captain was missing. To-day we found one of her boats adrift,and several of her spars. I fear that all on board have miserably perished—in number,five hun dred souls. The Inconstant will sail this af ternoon .with a full report. Full intelligence \v ill tie communicated when received; Alexander Mji.lax. , The Captain, whose melancholy fate is re corded in this brief letter, was considered the nnest iron-clad in the British navy. She was esteemed the best and strongest vessel afloat. This was her experimental trip. Capt. Conper i’ll ip,in Coles. Among those who went down with the ill fated steamer Captain was Capt. Cowper Phipps Coles, of the Royal Navy. He was the son of Rev. John Coles, and'was born at Ditchan Park, county of Hants, in 1819. He entered the navy in 1831, and rose rapidly in the service, displaying on various occasions a coolness and daring which suprised his’ supe riors in years and experience. He also showed signal abilily as* ah officer at various stations.' and took an active part on board the Agamem non in the assault on Sebastopol, in October, 18.il. His conduct on that occasion was highly praised in the despatches of Admiral Sir E. Lyons. He displayed equal 2,eal and ability in the subsequent operations at Kertch and .in the Azof. A plan devised by him for the construction of sliot-proof rafts, guns and mortars was subject to an examination by a board appointed by the Ootnmander-in- Cliief in 1865, and their report was so favorable that he was ordered to Eugland, that his knowledge might he of use at the dock-yards of Portsmouth. The idea of pro tecting guns by shields was originated by him inTB55,-and improved itpon in 1859. In 18(12 he adopted the turret system in the Royal Sovereign and other vessels in the British Navy. His plans have been very extensively adopted in iron-clad vessels, and further im provements in naval engineering might well have been expected of him, if his career had not been cut short by this terrible disaster.

This morning about twenty minutes past five o’clock a fire broke out in the extensive carpet manufactory of James Bromley & Brothers, located at the northeast corner of Jasper and York streets, in the Nineteenth Ward; The establishment occupied a lot 47 feet front on York street, by 150 feet in depth. The main building was 47 by 103 feet, and was four stories' in height, uot including the base ment. ' The basement was used as a wool room, for the storage of wool in the raw state and un dyed yarn. The first floor front was occupied as an office and show room, and the rearpor tion as a card room. The second story was used as a spinning room in front and a picking room in the rear. The third story was occu pied by the looms, warping-mills, spooling frames, and for ff nishing purposes and a dyed yarn room. The. fourth story was devoted en tirely to the Operation of the looms, of which there were ninety. Attached to the main mill was a two-storied drying-house, and in the rear of that a one story dye-house; ' The boilers were in the dry ing-house, and the engine was in the northern part of the basement in the main building. The firm .was engaged in the manufacture' of ingrain carpet, a specialty being “extra supers.” This is the height of the season, and one hundred and fifty hands were employed. There was a fnil stock of material on hand, and. arrangements had been made to soon commence to run night and day. The lire originated near the boilers-in the drying-house. A watchman- was employed fbrmght duty,'and he also fired tip early in the morning. Recently Some of the weavers have commenced work very early, jrnd have thrown open all of the-windows upon their arrival on the premises. This morning, at the time named above, the watchman left the drying-room for a few moments, and on his return found the material there, jnte, all on fire. The flames spread very rapidly, and soon broke .through the roof of the drying house. From there the fire soon communicated to the main building through the windows which had been opened hut a short time before by. the weavers. For some unknown reason there was a delay in giving the proper alarm, and by the time the firemen reached the ground and got into ser vice there was no possibility of saving the establishment. The main building was com pletely gutted. The drying-house was partly destroyed. The dye-house was saved. There were in the building, in addition to the large stock of material, 10,000 yards of carpet,, finished and ready for. shipment-, and. 5,000 yards in the looms.

The cause of the fire was investigated by Fire Marshal Blackburn, and is attributed to accident. The Unity of the Germans was eelehrated in a Family Festival at the residence of the venerable Dr. Constantine Hering, on Twelfth street, to-day. The exercises began at 7A. M. The tullowing was the programme : Music by a quartett band of brass instru ments under the direction of Carl Gaertuer. Wie schien leuchtet tins der Morgeustern. Nicolai, lolly—How beautiful the Morning Star.' Dr. Koch, who was then introduced by Dr. Hering, said : If in any family any great event takes place, be it happy or unhappy, joyful or sad, the friends of the house assemble and express their sympathy or love, as the circumstances may dictate; that is, they will either betray sorrow, grief and affection, or they will, on a different occasion, express their joy, kappi ness or gratitude.- As single families r so-are great families of nations subject to occur rences which, happy or unhappy, joyous or sad. exert an influence either ailvantageous ud productive of good, or disturbing and pre judicial, hot only upon the inner form and order of government, but also as the single members of the nation’s family. As you all know, seven weeks ago a family, ambitious, haughty, desirous of glory, and be lieving itself invincible —the French nation— without cause, threw the gauntlet jeeringly at the feet of the German family, with the vain presumption of dividing its members, taking possession of its country and plundering it. The infamous declaration of war was accepted. .The whole. German family, sire and.son,, hus band and wife, brother ana sister, united like molten metal into one solid mass, one gigantic body. Germany, the land which had so often been visited by sore affliction, its inhabitants disunited, and robbed of its territory, but now a united Germany, without stooping to pick up the soiled gauntlet, grasped with powerful hand the sword, and not only repelled the haughty invader, but drove him back into his home, where he is now Awaiting the course things will pursue. In order to express our sympathy, joy and exultation with true German feeling and char acter, at the brilliant and unexnected success of our German brothers, we to-day assemble, at the invitation of our friend Dr. Hering, to celebrate a Family Festival, in which we gladly participate,to express our warmest con gratulations on the happy victories of the United German people, and sing hymns of Praise to the Father of all. Thus shall it be :No Buabia-land; no Prus sia-land ; no ' Pomerania-land; no Bavaria- Jand: but one Famua’-eand—one strong, united German Fathehland! !■ Music. Bin’ feste Burg ist noserGott.—Luther, 1529., “A mighty fortress is our Lord.” Rev. Dr. Garrett said that be 1 , was lit licit pleased to- meet with Dr. Hering and his friends, this morning, to render thanks to Almighty God for. the wonderful things Ho had done for the cause of right and humanity in-Europe ; for we have seen, in six weeks, that impostor and miserable schemer, Louis Napoleon, overthrown,and his dynasty ended. He had only to regret that the republicans in France failed to see that this war had been brought upon Germany by the Emperor, who was indeed France, and that the . Ger mans had been compelled in self-defence to invade the French territory.; It was now the clear duty of the Republicans who had come in possession of the French Gov ernment to sue for peace, and beg the clem ency of King William m give them the heat PRICB.THKEEGENT.i'. V'- terms possible under the circumstances'. 'it they faded m this, the leader of the Gonna*, people would be justified in prosecuting th* war to a legitimate close. The GcrmamnSo pie hare great reason to give thanks totfre God of nations, to whom all the honor' and ulorv of their success belongs; and he thought! the.opening of this day of thanksgiving was, very properly made in the songs.of praise use* by the early German Christians. Kun danket alle Gott—Jßinkhart, 1649. Now thanks be given to the Bord. Mr. J. R. S.ypber, introduced by Dir. Heringj said: We have reached the opening of a new era. We read in history that the German pee- - pie were pioneers in. the ; historv of Civiliza tion, were celebrated for profound learning, practical discovery, and an earnest Christian spirit m the true worship of God. We .learn from the newspapers of the day that the Ger mans are a Sabbath-breaking, beer-drinking, a carousing, noisy, lawless populace. . To-day, ’ history repeats its lesson. This scnm that ban ‘ long appeared on the snrface is swept away, and the bright metal beneath appears. Tha historic German again comes to the surface, and the world is reminded that this noisy , element that has so loudly claimed tv represent the German character in America lias set Up false pretences. We have had the carousing celebrations of German victories in the beer-saloons; but we here have the sub stantial, Christian-loving German people Meeting to give praise to God for the great ' things He has done for their nation. The pioneer Germans who came to Pennsylvania in 1683, came with ministers, school-teachers, and printing press. They were tne first to print the Bible in America, the first to estab lish Sunday-schools, the first to issue Sunday school tickets, the . first to establish schools that were absolutely free, and the first to pro test against holding human beings in -slavery; They have always loved learning,free schoofe, and pure, simple Christian worship. And this ■ is being made manifest in the progress of the German armies, and the . daily thanksgivings that go up from the camps of the German sol diers west of the Rhine. For this we have reason to be thankful. Allein Gott in d«r Hcph’ sei Ehr\—Decius, 1540. Glory be to God on high. The company was invited to partake of coffee and sandwiches, and after that 'cere mony had ended the band closed the morning exercises (it might with propriety be called service) by rendering the Americanized tana “ Old Hundred.” e. The music‘for this evening’s exercises will be by the Miinnerchor, andis’as follows: The Song of tbol'iitlioiland. Arndt & Keichsrd, 1813 As one iiuui we will rin0...... Karl B.

He was. a_ well-known citizen of—- Philadelphia, and his sudden demise will awaken a profound feeling among a large cir- ' cle of personal friends, oy whom be was greatly esteemed. Sometwa weeks ago 'Mr. .Desiiyer wasput riding,.and on . his : . return to the city his horse took fright from a kite whidli * a boy was flying in the streeis. Mr. Destlver ■got out of his wagon and . endeavored- to hold his horse by the head, ( in which attempt |he was thrown upon paving stones and the horse fell on him, dislocating his -ankle and. crushing somd of his bones in a most fright ful manner. Doctors Levis,. Wallace and Freeman have been constant in their efldrts to save both life and limb, but tboir patient sank- rapidly, and early . this morning he breathed his last. In early life Mr, Desilver was in mercantile business in the West, butattheageoftwenty two he went to Ghina, and, with his' brother, the late Robert P. Desilver, established the house of Desilver & Co., in Hong Kong. By great industry and attention to business, they, each amassed a fortune, and about ten years ago returned to their native city to enjoy their well-earned wealth. Mr. Desilver was at one time a prominent member of the First City- Troop, and at the period of his death he held the rank of major in the regiment now com manded by Col. Baxter. He was also Presi dent of the Union Club. Confining himself to the pursuits of private life, he cultivated the friendship of a large circle of our citizens, and by his urbanity of manners, goodness of heart and unstinted liberality, both to public and private objects, he won the warm attachment of his large circle of acquaintances and friends.
