PEACE A»l> ITS COJfSJEftUENCES.
It is now asserted positively that Prussia ac
tually offered to treat for peace with the Pro
visional Government of France upon terms
wbSsh included cession of Aisace and. Lorraine
and destruction of the French fortresses upon
the German frontier. The government was,
and is now, ready to make stupendous sacri
fices for peace, and its offer, made through M,
Thiers, was so liberal that' Prussia plight have
accepted it and have been completely satisfied
•with the results of her triumph and the hu
miliation of her adversary. But it is impossi
ble that any French ministry or any influential
portion. of the people should purchase peace 'at
this time at the price of dismemberment of the
country, and the terms of Prussia have been
refused. This result was of conrse anticipated
by the Prussians, who, It is now : apparent, are
determined to complete their triumph with the
occupation of Paris and the overthrow of the
new government. That this design will be ful
filled there is very little doubt. However desperate
the valor of the defenders of the city, however
earnest their intention to resist to the last
' mnsr^ventaaur
triumph. Their arimy.is.superiof-in material
and in numbers, and though the siege should
be protracted and multitudes should be slain
upon .both sides, this superiority' will secure
meyitaWe victory. What wifi come afterward
cannot now be conjectured; We can hardly
believe that any attempt will be made te replace
the Napoleons; but it may be that the throne
will be offered to one of the Bourbon princes.
There are certain mysterious movements
, among these individuals, which, together with
the Prussian inclination to monarchical
government, lend plausibility to this supposi
tion. It may be said, however, that the French
prince who accepts the throne at the hands of
the king who has humbled and dismembered
the country, can have no claim upon the affec
tions of the French people, and no secure
tenure of power.
But while the result of the Prussian policy in
this direction is beyond reach of conjecture, it
is easy to. foresee one "of the conse quenees of
seizure of French territory . It is nearly cer
tain that suCh an act will provoke instant in
terference on the part of Russia, and most
probably Austria and Italy. In that event
there will be a war, in which the conquered
provinces will be a dead weight upon Prussia,
so that her rapacity may actually insure her
disastrous defeat. No intelligent man who ob
serves the sitnation closely can doubt that the
present attitude of Russia is very menacing, or
that Austria, at least, will embrace with eager
ness the support of such an ally to avenge her
wrongs upon Prussia. It will be a retribution
not wholly unjust if the rapacity of King Wil :
liam involves him in alarming complications,
and robs him of all the righteous consequences
of his triumph over France.
THiS PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
A writer in one of the daily papers takes oc
casion, to censure, and with much justice, the
weekly hitter attacks of the Sunday Dispatch
upon those who oppose the occupation of
Penn Square for public buildings'.' He
asks this plain and direct question, which,
however it may be answered, must reduce
the issue to the narrowest limits; and
if upon mature reflection the citizen feels he
can conscientiously answer it ailirmatively, he
will need no additional reasons to justify his
opinion—to wit: Would Penn Square be a pro
per site for the Post Office ? Were a change
of location suggested, would the business inter-
ests consent it Bhould be placed there ? Aud
what may we suppose would be the line of ar
gument on which the citizen would rest in jus-
tification of his belief that Penn Square was
the proper place for it ? It would certainly be
that Penh Square was the centre of population.
If this were the fact, as has been so frequently
assumed <but never proved), would that be a
good reason for placing the Post-Office there ?.
We say no. And why ? Because the Post-
Office should be placed so as to best accommo
date those who have most to do with it, and
not with reference to the centre of population.
Any other position would be in effect assum
ing that one person in the community re
ceived and sent as many letters as any other
person.
There is one very significant fact which has
been overlooked in all this discussion. It is
that the Postrofflce is now not more than three
squares west of its location at the time, or
shortly after the period,of the foundation of the
1 city. And further, it was for a number of
■ years in a position east of that in which it
stood for a quarter of a century or more pre
viously. Has any one at any time complained
that these locations were inconvenient?
But it may be asked, whaL has the location ol
the Post-office to do with that of the Court
Houses, &c. The answer is, that by presenting
the question in this light the citizen will see that
it would be as absurd to place the Post-office or
Penn Squares as to put the Public Buildings
—there.—The people naturally associate the lo
cation of the Public Buildings with the business
centre of a city. They should be placed where
they will be most convenient of access by the
business community; that xb, those who
. have most to do 'with the courts, namely, of
- parties, witnesses, jurors, &c.
’j Those who have most to do with the Courts
as parties are merchants. The progress of
trials is often slow,—'wi.tb the utmost industry
of the judges it is difficult rapidly to reduce
the trial list, and owing to the-uncertainty
when one trial may terminate and another be
I called, parties and their witnesses are com- !
I pelled to wait day after day in expectation of
the coming on of a" case. Tlie only alleviat'ou
is that parties are. now able to return to their
places of business, ready to give their attend
ance, however, on the arrival of a messenger
requiring it. "We need not saijr how impract
icable this would be were the Courts at Broad
id Market streets.
' Again—the position of the present Court
House is but two squares further east ofvyberp
the Court House stood over a hundred and ,
fifty years ago. The municipal buildings now 1
stand where they stood nearly one hundred
years ago. Has any .one complained that their
present position'' is'BO inconvenient that .they
must be placed on Penn Square?- .But, say
the advocates of Penn Square, through their
organ, the Sunday Dispatch, we must think of
posterity—these are buildings which are to
stand forever—that is to say, the present and
the succeeding generation are to be inconveni
enced. ont of tender, regard for our great-grand
children. Let, however,' every candid citi
zen, who is not the victim of prejudice or of
one idea run wild,,ponder this statement for a.
.moment. If the present site of the public
buildings is so little removed from that of a
hundred find fifty years since, and is so en
tirely convenient to the present generation, is
it likely placing the, buildings on Washington
Square will prove as inconvenient to those who
may have to do with them one hundred and
fifty years hence ?
In truth, bs the public buildings are now
almost upon the edge of the great business
limits of the city, if placed on Washington
Square they will be in the centre of the busi
ness region a century and a half to come.
The case of New York and Boston is similar
to the experience of Philadelphia, and aflords
proof that the -business centre, so far as the
'necessities -of- the - public are- concerned,- has
not materially been'changed. ■
THE MAYOR'S message. *
The message sent by-the -Mayor to Coun
cils yesterday was not very original. It re
commended an increase of the police force,
and a change ,in the method of electing the
Engineers of the Fire Department, These
suggestions have .frequently-, been - made by
Mayor Foii’s predecessors, and there is no par
ticularism in repeating them.. With regard
to the police force, it will be generally con
ceded that it is not only’wholly inadequate in
numbers, but that it is as objectionable in
quality as in quantity, and the proposition to
add fifty per cent, to it, as is suggested in Mr.
Hanna’s ordinance, may be reduced
to a mathematical form, thus: If eight
hundred, policemen furnish . so many
specimens of the Prenderville pattern, how
many will be furnished by. the twelve hundred?
Briefly, while it is undoubtedly true that Phila
delphia lias a very small police force in propor
tion to its area, It has proved itself large enough
to raise a considerable Legislative Corruption
Fund, and to do very efficient political service
in other directions, and it is apracticalquestion
whether-we had not better try to worry along
for another year, depending on the general
good order of our community, and wait until
we can either get a good, permanent Munici
pal Police, or until the present force is modi
fied by the infusion ot a few respectable Repub
lican officers. '
As for the Fire Department, the Mayor’s
remedy for its disorders is utterly and palpably
inadequate. Why could not Mr. Fox strike
boldly at the true seat of the evil, and ask
Councils for a total reform, abolishing .the
present system and giving Philadelphia what
every other good-sized town in' the country
now has—a Paid Fire Department ? The. elec-,
tiou of the engineers by the fire companies is
absurd enough : bjjt it is not half so absurd as
the existence of the fire companies them
selves.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Among the active benevolences that will
engage the energies of the good people of
Philadelphia, during the present season, will be
included an effort to increase the funds of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals. This Society has now been in existence
for two years. It has already outlived much
of the opposition and thoughtless ridicule which
it encountered at its start, while it has profited
by the judicious criticisms of those who fore
saw the tendency to run, in some directions,
into a rather sentimental extravagance. Dur
ing its short career it has done much to abate
the evils at which its operations are aimed,
and to educate public sentiment in those good
lessons of humanity in which large classes of
the community, have been lamentably, deficient...
In furtherance of its excellent designs,'the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals has made arrangements for a Grand
Fair, to be held at Horticultural Hall, com
mencing November 28th, and continuing for
two weeks. The arrangements for this Fair
have been placed in the hands of an Executive
Committee of gentlemen and ladies whose
names ensure its success in advance. General
Meade, supported by Mayor Fox, heads the
list of gentlemen, and the list of ladies com
prises many names identified with the greatest
successes ever achieved in Philadelphia in this
direction. With such an able and spirited
corps of engineers, the Society’s Fair will be
sure to be very attractive, very well managed
and very successful. The Society needs a
large accession to its funds. Its expenses are
numerous and'- 7 heavy, and, with increased
means, its usefulness may-be largely extended.
It has agents to pay, prosecutions to pursue,
publications to make, and it should be cordially
supported in all its legitimate work.
We give this timely notice of the approach
ing Fair because the preparations for it are al
ready begun, and the Executive Committee is
ready to receive donations of money or useful
and fancy articles, at the Booms of the So
ciety, No. 1:520 Chestnut street.
General Wi li'am B. Thomas last evening put
himself fairly into the hands of the Democracy, I
and may now bo accepted as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Fourth" District.
He opened his speech by saying that he was
waiting “to see whether the Republicans
would give -him the -same- privilege.” It 1 is
hardly likely that they will. The lines are ijow
clearly drawn, and the two candidates know
where to find each other. We wish General
Thomas had remained in the political affiliation
to which he has done credit for years post, and
regret that the very poor chance of being sent
to CUngress by Democratic votes should have
been able to influence him. But as he is a
j gentleman of mature years and experience, he
probably knows his own preferences best; !

U'ASIIIKGTOK/Sept. 16.—The question as to

settled, remains a profound mystery. It is
known thatsiuce the declination of ex-6enator
Trelingbuysen the place has been tendered to*
-several persons of prominence, but in every,
instance declined. A report is quite current,
to-day, that the "name of a Western
man has been agreed upon, and he
has notified the President that he will ac
cept, but this cannot be verified at the State
Department,and therefore should be accepted
with some’reserve. Various persons, alt
named as chosen, one of the most prominent
being Son. Godlove F. Orth, of Indiana,bat
there are good reasons for believing
that he is not the person to whom General
Grant would Render a first-class mission,, Your
correspondent’is enabled, however, to say,
by authority, that one thing has been decided
upon by President Grant, and that is, that the
appointment of a Minister to the Court of St.
James, shall be given to some Western man.

tr-Tom-the N..YJElerald of
Thursday, Sept. 15.—The predisposing causes to an
active market at the Stock Exchange,to which reference
has been made quite frequently of late in this column,
asserted themselves more propnuently to day under the
•combination of such fostering influences as a further re
duction in the Bank of England rato of discount and
another large increase in the bond purchases of the
government. The former; by tending to check tho ex*
port of capital from this country* assures the banks
against a tnrther inroad on tbdir coin reserves through
the medium of gold shipments, while the
latter operates to. \ place the cur
rency balance of the Treasury in -the. banks, with the
effect of increasing their legal tender reserve. But it
was the tacit promfso of the government which was thus
implied that had the most to do with rendering ad
ditionally buoyant the speculative feeling at the Stock
Exchange. On two occasions of late, the Secretary of
the Treasury has exceeded his expected disbursements
of money in canceling the public debt, and has not os
ytt neutralized the effect upon tho money mar
ket by increasing his sales of gold The re
laxation to / the -money; market by these extra
purchases of bonds is even more than is. apparent. The
obliteration ofa million of bonds Would by itself simply-.,
set free a million of money; but not only is tho capital
invested in the bonds set tree, but a million more comes
out of the Treasury upon the street. The effect is,
therefore, to place tw o millions of money in the market
ready for re-investment. Of the policy of the govern
ment in this matter the political writers charge that
it is intended for influence upon the fall elections,
but it will be remembered that we intimated a week
or two since that General Grant and Secretary Boutwell
were intent upon making the money market easy with a
view to promoting the business activity of the country ,
as a means to accomplishing the President’s avowed
policy, as expressed in h£b inaugural, of faithfully col
lecting an abundant .revenue. The street, therefore,
moves with more confidence, and engagements are under- -
taken with little apprehension of a dangerously strin
gent money market tbisfall. . . . x . lt .
The reduction in the English discount rate, which
shows that the market in Condon is abundantly sup
plied with money, despite tho transfer of capital to this
country through the agency of tho Oanadiau banks: the
advance of five-twenties in London to 90>stL90?i, and the
better exhibit of our domestic exports, which this week
are a million larger than'two weoks siuce, while the
imports, on the : other hand, are de
creasing in 'such a proportion as to bring
the figures to an equality, were a strong com
bination of influences against higher gold, and effocted
a fall to-day from 114>* to the comparatively
slight decline being due to the heavy demand for cash
gold in settlement of customs duties, as well as for the
maintenance of speculative contracts in tho Gold
Room. It was this demand which occasioned an event
ual reaction to 114>a lii tho afternoon, the upward turn
being strengthened by the new complication in the
