PEACOCK, FETHERSTON & CO. Monday. September 12,1870. IWHB WAK IN FBJINCE. Tbe situation in France has not changed materially since our advices of Saturday: The advance of the Prussians proceeds steadily, but slowly. The progress of the armies is impeded by: heavy rains and by the destruction of roads and bridges by the retiring French forces. In - Paris the arrival of the enemy is awaited with a calmness which is surprising; and.the go vern ment is exhausting its resources to make a sturdy defence. General Trochu announces that if the Prussians attempt to enter the city it will be defended from street to street, and that the sewers, which are said to be mined, will be blown up as the enemy advance.. Possibly this.declaration will be made good if the Prussians undertake .to capture the city by assault. But it is said that King William will rather try to compel surrender by surrounding it and starving the people into capitulation. It isof Course entirely impossible to conjecture' what policy has been determined upon by the Prussians. We can only hope that we may . not be called upon to chronicle the sacking of ' Paris by the invaders, and to describe the dreadful scenes which must ensue in such an event. There is little doubt that the respon sible citizens of tho capital will prefer surrender . to such horrors, but they may he overruled by the military authorities. In the meantime the Provisional govern ment is strengthening itself by forming friendly relations With other powers. It has secured recognition not only from the United States, but from several of the principal States in Europe, and there are rumors of offensive alliances .with one or two of them. These we aretinclined to discredit, although we may take for granted that the imposition of cruelly severe terms upon France will eventually provoke the fbrcible interference of other European powers. It is •rumored that our own government has sent to Prussia energetic protests against prosecution of the war to its bitterest end, and bas asked for generous treatment oi Trance and acceptance of the Republican government. If this story fe true, the intervention is of ■feourse of the most friendly .description, and it; is offered,' toot Only in hehalfof the brave and suffering French people, tout for that new &brn republic which has come into existence, in the supreme. hour of peril, . and has already proved itself capable of defeud ing'the honor of France, of perserving order and of commanding the respect of the world. It is just and right that we should do what we can, peacefully, to prevent the destruction of the republic, and to strengthen its hands in the present grave crisis. Perhaps our efforts will not avail, but we shall have done what every tree American will feel be an Imperative duty. Prussia cannot destroy the present gov ernment of France and place a monarch upon the throne of a dismembered country without alienating multitudes of Americans who were her enthusiastic supporters in her crusade against Napoleon. While it is right that she should dictate terms to France, and secure her. self against further assaults from that nation, the uniyersal sentiment of liberal men is, that in the present situation it is her duty to be merciful. ' ANTI COOUE ABSURDITIES. Some of the gentlemen who conduct the anti-Coolie movements in this country give expression occasionally to very queer ideas. At the meeting held at Eighth and Button wood streets on Friday, one of the orators pro tested earnestly against Chinese immigration, for the reason that its inevitable result would he to degrade and destroy the Christian civi lization of this nattonr— But a moment before the .speaker admitted that we enjoy “ the high est civilization of the earth,” llis assertion, then, amounts to this: that the “highest civi lization ” and the purest and strongest religious faith, enjoyed and and protected by forty millions of free, intelligent Christian people, cannot avoid destruction if it is brought into contact with the ignorant semi-barbarism •f say, one hundred thousand meu who are paganß. If this were true •we might well deplore the worthlessness of civilization and the untruthfulness of Chris tianity. If “the highest civilization on the .earth” and, the purest religion, ever given to mankind cannot resist the influence of a few Ignorant heathen, and, more than this, cannot elevate them so that they may appreciate the higher system, the sooner both are destroyed and replaced by paganism the better. No intelligent and thoughtful man can accept a theory which compels belief in the inferiority either ot civilization or Christianity. The tendency of both is to improve the condition of all who are brought under their influence; and there are those who perceive in this advent of the Chinese to our shores only the promise of a means of giving to the great Chinese empire, with better assurance of acceptance than any we have yet had, the blessings which we enjoy. . Hardly more absurd than the theory we have maintained, is the declaration of another speaker .that if Chinese immigration is con tinued, we shall eventually have the entire population of China transferred to this coun try. The sonl of the orator was filled with pain ful forebodings when he reflected that as a re sult of this wholesale immigration we shall have ) 429,000,000 pagans in America, or about nine I .. Chinese to one American. It is not necessary to discuss the .possibility of such a contingency, \but we may say that if the author of the start ing suggestion really apprehends such a ca lamity, the Cimmerian gloom .in which his ■ minal Is enveloped Is fully justified. Perhaps the sentfoient of just men, who are without preju dice hr £bto matter, can be expressed completely in a few the words used by tbO secretary of ihe meeting .referred to.He said; We have f uo desire to injure. any of God’s cseatures. We believe that every creature on God’S (-artb is entitled to all Use comfijrtfl enjoyed by ns.” When tins pdople of tils accept that Sentiment sincerely, thigrta will be no further Opposition to thd tettaigration Of any indi vidual who comes here voluntarily to earn his bread. ~r\y\ IBE MAN WSt© UMJOHB. Victor Hugo’s Man who Jtanghr will here-, after be every man who reads the itotnbastic rhodomontade which the venerable novelist has addressed to the approaching Germans. Says Hugo: V ’ •. . *' Yon find the fortressyou' may take the fortress. You find the rampart: yon may take the rampart. Yon will find the barricade; you may take the bamoade, and then "who knows the resources of patriotism in distress ?. You will find the sewers mines of power ready to blow the whole Btreets into the air. This will be the terrible sentence you must ac cept: To take Paris stone by stone, to slaugh ter Europe on the spot, to kill France in de tail,in each street, in each house. That, great light must be extinguished soul by soul.. Germans, hold back I Paris is formidable. Think awhile before her waliß are transforma tions. All possible tor her, her indolence gives you the measure of her energy. She seems to sleep : she will awake; her thought will leap, from its scabbard like a sword, and tbis city, which yesterday was Sybaris, to-morrow may be Saragossa.”’ If this absurd nonsense, wbich seems to in dicate that Victor Hugo has reached a drivel ling dotage before his time, —for he is not yet seventy,—should' reach the German armies in time, it is hard to say what will be the effect. French sentiment is so much like French cookery. Everything. depends upon high sea soning. But even Ffeuch taste must revolt at such-wild absurdities as these, while Germany will indulge in a bread grin which will be as repulsive .to. French eyes as was that of. Hugo.’ s. original Man who Laughed. There is a singular transposition of tactics in this Franco-Prussian war. The Germans have waged it with all the (remendous vigor and strategic skill of the first . Napoleon, while, the French have adopted the German or Dutch policy of olden time. Victor Hugo warning, off. the .German armies with his bombastic:" proclamation -is • the counterpart of Wilhei'mus Kieft, better known as William the Testy,‘successor to Wouter Van Twill and Governor of theJNieuw-kederlandts, who waged war against the Yankees in 1634. Says the historian:—“He was resolved to con quer, the Yankees —by proclamation I For this purpose he had prepared a tremendous instru ment of the kind, ordering, commanding and enjoining the intruders aforesaid, forthwith to remove, depart, and withdraw from the dis tricts, regions and territories aforesaid, under pain of suffering all the penalties, forfeitures, and punishments in such case made and pro vided. This proclamation, he assured them, would at once exterminate the enemy from the face of the country, and he pledged his valor as a governor, that within two months after it was - published,, not one. stone should remain upon another, in any of the towns which they had built.’?, France seems to be repeating the history of Diedrich Knickerbocker, of two centuries ago. THE HORTICtII/riJRAEi SOCIETY. Everybody in Philadelphia remembers the superb display made, last fall, under the auspi ces of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, on the occasion of the National Pomological Congress. This year the Horticultural So ciety gives its own annual exhibition at Hor ticultural Hall, commencing to-morrow after noon and closing oh Friday evening, and the arrangements that have been made for the an nual display of the bountiful fruits of the earth show that the spirit of enterprise excited last year has not died out. The season is a most propitious one in all respects. The crops of ail descriptions of vegetables and fruits are un usually abundant and fine,and the opportunity for a splendid floral display has never been surpassed. Added to this is the glorious autumnal weather which has succeeded the torrid mouths of the past summer. Nature certainly invites her students and worshippers to a full enjoyment of her loveliest perfections, and Art will contribute the charm of instru mental and vocal music to perfect the attrac tions of the exhibition. The Horticultural Society deserves the most liberal encouragement from the public in its enterprising efforts for such wholesome enter tainment and instruction as are afforded by these exhibitions, and we have no doubt that, on this occasion, it will meet with all the sup port that it so well deserves. Mr. WrK. Leeds has published a card-which shows that, so far as he is concerned, he has J acted in good faith in the matter of the dispute in the Second Congressional District. It is evident that Mr, Leeds and his committee thought that they constituted the Executive Committee of the" State Central Committee, and believed that the subject under considera tion was referred to them. Whether they were right or not will be determined by the State Central Committee, and it will no doubt be found that, so far as this branch of the com plication -is concerned, it has grown out-of some loose method of transacting the business of the Central Committee, resulting in this misunderstanding. So far as the main question is concerned, the dispute is definitely settled by the final ac tion of the Executive Committee, which de clares that the State Comiilittee has no juris diction in the premises. This} decision is un doubtedly the correct one, and the result will be cheerfully accepted by all concerned, as the proper solution of this unpleasant and unfor tunate difficulty, unless there be any who prefer the gratification of their private preju dices to the success of the Republican party. The violent demonstrations iii London, yes terday, in favor of the French Republic, have a two-fold significance: they were the earnest protest of the people against the cowardly policy of the British government in the present crisis; an expression of a feeling of Indignation which extends far beyond the participants in these meetings, up through the better classes to the very edge of, the aristocracy; and they wore ) moreover, a ripple of that great wave, of repub licanism which is now sweeping through Eu rope. These demonstrations are the evidence of its existence in England. It Italy the proof is found in the terror of Victor Emmanuel and his approach to Rome; in Spain Prim de monstrates its power by meeting it with mili tary force; in Germany it takes the shape of an appeal to the for popular reform. The immediate results of ttese agitations may not be important, but they are.foll of great promise for the future. PHILADELPHIA EVBISIISD: MLLETIHi 'MONBAYi i i2JWHi. j Opining of tbe Aisob Street Theatre* jjfbe fall season begah at the Areb Street Theatre on Saturday night last, with Gold- Mpith’e fine eld comedy, Stte btoops io Vonquer- The performance was in fil respeots excellent. The play, completely good as it is, does not admit of /any remarkable elaboration of its Characters. Nono of thepereonages has any very intense individuality; the interes t of the s i play depends almost entirely upon the absurd mistake Of the hero, and the situations -which are the consequence. With such good actors as some ofthosein the company,at the Arch, the performance of such a comedy requires simply that easy grace and that .naturalness which belong to every artist, and careful attention to the traditional business of the comedy. All the conditions ; necessary to a successful representation wore fuliiled on Saturday night, and th.e entertainment gave great satisfaction to the -audience. Mrs. Drew, and all the old . members; of the company, were received Warmly, and some special enthusiasm _ was displayed upon the appearance of Mr. Barton Hiil, whom we are glad to welcome back to the po sition -in which he has earned great and well deserved popularity. Mr. Mackey, Mr. Craig and Mr. James appeared on Saturday might, each in his old position. Mr. Hemple re mains, and Mr. Wallis has returned. Mrs. Thayer—like the others, indispensable—con tinues with the company ; and so does Mrs- Maeder, in her peculiar line of parts one of the best actresses in thecountry. Miss Baville and Miss Kiehl made, their first appearance in this city on Saturday evening;, and acquitted themselves in a satisfactory manner. Mr. Chas. MdManus, a capital actor, - also appeared for the first time at the Arch. The orchestra -has been placed under the direction of Mr. Mark Hassler, and wo are happy to chronicle the fact that the music is now excellent. This even ing Mrs. Drew will produce an adaptation of Sardou’s play, Ftrnande. The Fine Arts.— Mr. Thomas Moran has just painted two pictures fortbe West Jjaurel • Hill Cemetery Co., of views up and down the Schuylkill river from the grounds of the new cemetery.

Dayton; Sept 12th.—-In a speech before the Bepnblican Convention, General Sehonck sustained the Bepnblican party for the good work it had accomplished.. First in electing Lincoln, after an administration which had bankrupted the Government and placed the country in such a condition as to render it impossible for the Secretary of the Treasury to bdrrow ten million dollars atlwelvo per cent. It put down rebellion, and took charge of the debt, and restored government credit: abolished slavery and re stored the eleven States that turned away in the war; had given pensions to soldiers; estab lished bouses for the veterans of the army, and reduced the debt one hundred and sixty nine million dollars during Grant’s adminis tration ; relieved the industry of the country by reduction of taxation, and had introduced a bill, whicli-it was thought would pass. to re duce it further soino twenty-six millions a year. He spoke at some length of our height ened credit in Europe, and refuted the charges against the party. HaOCention.

One Man Killed and Several Badly In jured. The nocturnal quiet of Passaic village, on the Erie Railway, was disturbed about half past one yesterday morning by the shrill cry of “fire, and the lurid glare overspreading the business portion of the place betokened it no false alarm. “ Passaic 1” is the only fire apparatus the place can boast; hut with their old hand’ engine—formerly the property of No. 6, of Brooklyn—they are considered equal to any ordinary emergency; so quickly as pos sible this eompany had their machine on the road, and although but few on the rope they succeeded in reaching the conflagration in a very short time, The fire was in a building situated on the east Bide of the main street, in the most closely built locality of the village. “The back of the lots here touch the river, and from the street to the water is a declivity of some fifteen or twenty feet within the depth of the lot. When the engine reached the fire there were but five or six In charge, and it was dangerous for that number to attempt to take their two ton en gine down the fiecllvity to the river." —" “' But they tried it, and were succeeding well until when, about half-way down, a portion of the tongue broke off and the men lost all control of the machine. Down it went, smashing into a stablo at the foot of the de clivity, until stopped by the wheels coming in l contact with one of the upright'clmbers. One of the firemen named Cornelius Nor man, a German, unmarried, about twenty three years old, hero met a shocking death. His head was caught between the wheel and the timber and wrenched around suddenly, so as to completely break his neck, killing him Instantly. Besides this his skull was crashed and his nose partially broken off. Another of the firemen, a young man named Isaac Demares, was also struck by the wheel and had his leg broken, besides sustaining some very serious bruises. One or two of the other members of tho company in charge of the engine, were also, considerably bruised. From the position in which the engine was lodged, and the almost criminal apathy of the bystanders, it was some time before enough members of the company arrived to extricate machine from its tangle, dispose of the ’v.ody of their dead comrade and get to work. By that time the entire building was in flames, and all that could bo done was to prevent any further spread. Durinetbe beat of the fire, when the whole structure was one mass of flames, the figure of a man was seen at a second-story window and then bunglingly to throw himself into the street. His name was Christian Graver, and it seems he had been on a spree and had just gone to bed a little while previous, and it was not until he had been seriously burnod on the head and breast that he got sober enough to move. He was badly injured internally by his jump, as he fell flat,.upo.n the ground. and there are grave doubts whether ne will re cover. He was taken yesterday afternoon to Paterson, and placed in charge of the sisters at the hospital.— llcrald. ’ —The iron bridge at Kehl, which was blown up at the commencement of the war, cost the Eastern Railway Company SI ,000,000, lildo Q’Clooft..

I Waabinrtqn bespatch; te Boston Post.l . The President states this morning that he is opposed to interfering.with European govern ments just as much as he is opposed to their meddling with our affairs. He (foes not intend to instruct Minister Wdshhurne to offer .the services of this government as mediator. If Frimee and Prussia request tho friendly ser vices of the United titates as a mediator, he ■would accede to their joint'request and: do all he could to eft'ect a permanent,peace; between them, as an act of humanity and because of the kind feeling we should all have for the Bepub lic'of France.' General Gfanf is of opinion,' however, that the war is virtually ended,, and that Germany will recognize the French re public. - ' ---■ , Gen. Grant Not Disappointed. i The President, in conversation this morn iDg, stated that he had expected the contest in Europe to result as it has., He speaks in high praise of the discipline of the German armies, and says their success , is due .to the good manner - in which every department of the hrroy is-conducted. The Prussian army has a leader and good captains. The F.rench army has good generals, but it appears their, generals did not work in accord, -and a supreme head was wanting. They area great; people and brave soldiers, hut'like all men, if badly handled by their generals, they must suecumb. He said he hadxwice received news from Gen. Sheridan, who was well and enjoy jhg'the hospitality of the 'German King and his staff officers. Bis Views as to Future Action. ■ In answer to a question in regard to the further action of this government, he said, “I am decidedly opposed to interfering with affairs in Europe, as much so as lam to the European powers meddling with this govern ment.” He did not intend to join the toreigp governments in |any Congress of interven tion or mediation, or to offer mediar tion or intervention, to one or the other of the belligerents. He had gone as far as he had deemed it his duty to go. He had recognized the Bepublic of France the same as he would recognize a republic anywhere on the globe, and, in the name of humanity and of the American people, had congratu lated France upon the new order of things. The President qualified these remarks by say ing : “ However, if the.
