the peace NEGOTIATIONS. I
It is impossible to determine accurately,from j
the obscure and contradictory cable reports,the :
progress of negotiations between Favre and
Bismarck, and the chances of peace. .It must i
- te confessed, however, that the stories which
are received are not of. a very promising char
acter, and-that there is no good' reason for
hoping for an early cessation of hostilities.- One
of the principal, difficulties in the way is the in
disposition of Prussia to accept the Provisional;
government as a fair representative of the pep- L
pie, and to repose faith in. its power to make
good its promises. , This obstacle does not be- I
come less serious with the progress of events,,
but is actually xhade more* formidable by th e
violent revolutionary demonstrations in several
of the cities where the Red Republicans are
strong enough to disown the government in I
Paris and to enforcement of their own
extreme theories. Of course, if M. Favre feels I
compelled to accept humiliating terms from
Bismarck, this violent .. party-will be greatly
strengthened), and it is not unlikely that his
action will be disavowed by some. of. the fac
tions. But it is impossible to. perceive
how such a difficulty is to be avoided unless |
FavrOis penmitted to carry out his scheme of a
popular election and to organize a government
which shall be assured of the support of the ;
people.,’ Thatcan hardly be accomplished satis
factorily while the Prussian armies in France
are conducting offensive operations with vigor;
and as King William manifests an intention to
refnse an.armistice, he must either treat with
the Provisional government, without guaran
tees as it is, or, after the capture of Paris, pro
ceed to set up a bogus government after his
own fashion, with which to arrange a treaty of
peace. It is very certain, however, that this
creature, no matter what its components, would
be repudiated by the French people, and so
Prussia would have no better assurance of, the |
fulhUmentof the treaty than she would if she had
accepted the present government. - That, we sin- I
oerely believe, has the confidence of the mass of
the people. Whether it would retain that confi
dence in . the event of its. consent being given to
the cession of French territory, is doubtful.
The fact is Prussia has gotten herself into an I
extremely embarrassing position, from which
graceful and safe escape seems very difficult.
She will be compelled to treat with somebody
eventually, for her armies cannot remain in
France and carry on the war forever. - Convo
cation of an Assembly elected directly by the
people is the simplest method of securing a
legal authority, and if Prussia will give Favre
an opportunity he will place the government
and the treaty power in the hands of such a
body in less than a month. The conditions ol
peace that Prussia will offer will probably be
of suclra barsh-kind-that all the power of a
strong popular government will be needed
> - to fulfil them, and to prevent any revolutionary
demonstrations from dissatisfied people.
AttVAIICS.
The boat-race on the Schuylkill yesterday
was an important event in the history of the
Schuylkill Navy. It was the first rowing con
test between our amateur oarsmen and the
clubs of New York, represented by that fine
organization, the Nassau Club. With true
Philadelphia hospitality, the Schuylkill crew,
admirably simulating all the motions of a de
termination to win the race, allowed their
guests to win this first race; and in the “ wee,
sma’hours” this morning, the Nassaus re
turned home with ail the honors of a decided
victory, and with' a keen appreciation of the
generous, hospitalities of which they were the
.... their flytag.vfcit. to Philadel
phia.
To those who may be unwilling to believe
that the result of this exciting race was due to
a proper regard for the feelings oi the strangers
of Nassau, and who would have been willing
to forego the pleasures of magnanimity for th.e
sake of the exultation of victory, we would
say that there are several other reasons why the
Schuylkill crew could not have won the race if
they had tried to. The Nassau crew, as their
recent contest with the Mutual crew at
Albany so abundantly proved, were'in a condi
tion oi unrivalled training. It was not mere
thews and sinews that enabled them to distance
their Albany competitor in such magnificent
style itwas their continued and scientific training.
And it was skillful training that won the race,
yesterday. For the first mile and a half the
Philadelpliians, who had chivalrously accepted
the challenge, held their own, iu a tough neck
and-neck contest, but then the pace began to
tell on their untrained wind and muscle, and
although they stuck gallantly to their adver
saries, it was evident that there was a de
ficiency in bottom, on the part of some of the
crew, which no amount of enthusiasm could
overcome. And while the Nassaus bad the
most Wind, they had the least weight, carrying
nearly forty pounds less, among their stalwart
quartette, than their competitors, who, although
every man pulled himself down Until he liter
ally rowed in bis “skeleton,”.were still left at
this disadvantage.
In addition to these reasons for ’ losing the
■ race was the iact that the Philadelphia bow-oar
Three still suffering.'from'a .
~c6Ußlph with iiffbtliMlSiithgger,' while training*
a few days ago, hy_ which they were nearly cut
in two, the sharp projection .of the stupid £ol
' lidercatching them m the iia.uk and inflicting
severe though, we are happy to say, not fata)
. wounds. t And when w« add- t&-this:the~ other
fie! that one of the crew was enjoying the full
luxury of one of Job’s most distressing corn
forters, it will be' seen that the race resulted
precisely as it should have done.
We congratulate the Schuylkill Navy on the
very handsome manner in which they have
been beaten.. Had they won this race, it
would’i&ve been a serious disappointment to
the Nassau .gentlemen whose visit to Philadel.
plsa they desired ■to make>s pleasant as possi
ble. .And it .would also have, had a demoral
i2tog"effect on the Schuylkill Navy. They,
would have rested on their oars, withaepm
: placent “ Way ’nongh!” and we should have
ihad the niortification of being beaten m real
'earnest, iii the next race. As it is, the contest
‘•of y.etterday will rouse the young gentlemen of
■ the Schuylkill Navy into an activity andtletcr
' mination which will soon win hack the colors
tliey have lost, and raise their organization to
the numbers and the enterprise which, they
ought to display, in view of the' splendid ad
vantages and opportunities which they enjoy.
•THE EASTERN QUESTION AGAIN.
There are pretty plain indications that the
warlike preparations of Russia are not intended,
after all, as a promise of-Russian interference
in behalf of France and against the Prussian
schemes. of territorial annexation. = The de
velopments of the last two or three days, while
they do not disprove utterly the theory that the
Czar regards the aggrandizement of Prussia
with jealousy,. demonstrath the possibility of
the existence of an entirely different kind of
feeling. The intention of the Czar seems to
be to seize the present opportunity to re-open
the Pastern question, and to satisfy the tradi
tional longing of Russians for the dominions
of the Sultan. Since the Crimean war there
has been no chance to assail Turkey without
provoking the instant interference of France
and England, which were joined in guarantee
ing it against Russian aggression. France is
how helpless to fulfil her promises, and England
probably will be afraid to make hers good. So
it will not be Burprising if Russia at last de
termines to accomplish her manifest destiny
upon -the shores of the Black Sea, as
Italy fulfilled heFs by seizure of Rome.
There will be even less occasion for
surprise if we should find that this act was com
' mitted with the connivance of Prussia,' which
gave her ednsent to the scheme as the price of
I the non-interference of Russia with Prussian
designs-in-France. The existence of a secret
r treaty, or an understanding to that effect, is at
least within the bounds of probability. Of
course any movement against Turkey on the
part of Russia would be a grave insult to Eng
land—an insult even more offensive than that
I offered J>y Napoleon when he proposed to
Prussia the partition of Belgium and Holland.
But we imagine England will accept it in a
cowardly manner and permit the robbery to
proceed without forcible protest. At the most,
I she could not, in her present position, do .any
thing more than offer. to Turkey assistance
which would avail little in the presence of the
I enormous power of Russia. It will be a singu
lar consequence of Napoleon’s assault upon
I Prussia if England Is drawn a second time into
a terrible war with Russia upon the ancient
Eastern question.
THE KI6HT VSE OF PENS SQUARES.
"While there is no reasonable argument
which can be adduced in favor of
destroying Broad street, by placing the Public
Buildings at Broad and' Market streets, there ip
a very wise and proper use to which the Penn
Squares may, be applied. They are
extremely well suited for the loca
tion of literary and scientific institutions
as proposed by the Legislature. Academies
of science and of fine arts have never been in
any country self-supporting. Looking as they
do, not .to individual profit or advantagepmt
to the general good, all governments have con
sidered that no money was better invested
than in their aid. It is a great misfortune to
this country that there should not be a liberal
aid extended to these centres of knowledge
and cultivation. There is no country in ad
vance of us in her common school system,
except Prussia, and what Prussian intelligence
and education can do we have lately seen; it
is to the individual intelligence and capacity of
the soldiers that the Germans have been lately
indebted for their astonishing successes. But
these German governments have been very
far from resting satisfied with common school
teaching. Within the last few years more
than a million has been spent by them in j
building and endowing great chemical schools
alone. In every department of art, science
and literature, aid is extended. Strangely
enough, we Americans overlook the importance
of these things as a people, though as indi
viduals we do not: there are as many Ameri
cans availing themselves of the advantages of
German education at Heidelberg as would
furnish out a fair college by themselves.
Our citizens should awake, to the fact that in
a few weeks they will be called upon to decide
what they will do in the whole of this matter,
and whether they will give up the Penn Squares
to be wholly obliterated by municipal build
ings, or whether they will allow our best aud
most useful institntions the privilege and the
use of portions of them towards enlarging their
capacity for usefulness. There is an oppor
tunity now for enabling us as a community to
take a great stride in advance. We are push
ing forward in material progress, let us not get
behind in intellectual development, without
which mere extension in size and increase in
wealth amount to but little.

been totally routed and driven In disorganized
masses upon Paris. The slaughter was ter-
The Prussians have advanced and taken
a favorable position. The battle was fought

Tbe Prnsslan Position Before Paris.
BEKLi>’,Sept.23.—Advices from Melun state
that the Prussian guns which have been
planted upon the heights at Sceaux, four
miles south of Paris, are in excellent position
for directing a heavy fire against the southern
portion of the city.
Here the Prussian cannon command the
road from Paris, and such j) sweep as to
render a protracted defence by General Vinoy
after his defeat near the forts at Oharenton
and Bicetre, unlikely
The gunners have already tried the range of
their pieces and cleared away the obstructions
to their sight. -
It is certain that the Prussians will notun
dertake to besiege the extraordinary works
of Fort St. Denis, as the obstacles to the ap
proaches are too laborious of surmounting.
The Seine environs of St. Denis and fosse3
have been filled. The . works of Fort Vim
cennes have been abandoned by their garri
son, who have withdrawn within the interior
The fortress has been undermined. Its con
tinued occupation would have been disadvan-
tageous, as the position is commanded by the
neighboring hills.
Appearance of the Yellow Fever nt Bar
celona.
Madrid, Sept. 23.—Despatches from Bar
celona report that the yellow fever is raging
in that seaport with dreadful mortality. The
scourge is supposed to have been communi
cated hy the eargo'of some American vessel
coming from an infected port.
The greatest consternation prevails within
the city, the inhabitants of which are almosl
deprived of the dictates of humanity hy terror.
By the sudden and awful spread of the con-
tagion, one thousand persons have heen
attacked and prostrated hy the fever, and of
this number three hundred and fifty have died
of the fever.
The hospitals are crowded with patients,
and the scarcity of nurses is such that the sick
can receive little attention. People are leav-
ing the city by every train.

Orleans on their way to Blois.
It is apprehended it is their intention to fol

[SECOND DESPATCH. 1
Account of tbe Crsat Battle Hear Paris
Yesterday.
London, Sept. 23,Nobn^— Thefollowing tbrill
ing particulars of the great battlefought to the
south of Paris have been received, and great
-excitement prevails over the intelligence : -
Paris, Tuesday, Sept. 20, Even!ng.—Yester
day three divisions, composed of picked men,
under command of Generals Huguis, Ducrot
and Caussado, attacked the Prussians whd
■were massed in the woods of Clamart, Ver
siens and Meudon. The assault was gallantly
and the, woods,alm.ost reachedwhen,the
Prussians, opened; fire - upon the advancing
columns. 1 ■ - . '■■■■■
They had massed at the entrance of the
woods heavy batteries of artillery, which sud
denly uncovered and from them a terrific fire
of grape and canister was opened upon the
advancing French columns. The latter.were
staggered and their ranks torn to pieces bv
the sudden and awful fire poured into them
almost point biank.
The Prussian guns were served unremit
tingly, and their fire wasterribly accurate, in
' flictlng great loss upon the French, who were
completely surprised and thrown into the
greatest confusion, which caused a dreadful
mistake. In their bewilderment two regi
ments of French collided.
The Mobiles mistook the Sixteeuth Regi
ment for a force of the enemy and poured a
galling fire into their ranks, killing many by
their grievous blunder. Their commanders
became separated and fired wildly into each
’other. I
The French commander, seeing the disas
trous turn of the engagement, ordered a, re
treat, which was effected in confusion. The
Prussians, availing themselves of the retreat,
gained the heights of Meudon and St. Cloud,
and dragged ,up guns to the summit, where”
they established their batteries, and from this
elevation began to play upon the French regi
ments, composed of reserves and recruits who
had not yet been under fire. The well-directed
guns of the Prussian batteries made terrible
havoc among the green troops, who, disre
garding all command, broke and fled. Shells
were poured into them from the heights and
the retreat became a route.
The reserves participated in the panic and
the young soldiers threw down their arms and
ran. The entire French forces who had
moved to the assault of Clamart and Versiers
and Meudon, thereupon retired in disor
ganized rank, their retreat being protected by
the guns of fort Montiouges and De Vauves.
Montiouge replied to- the Prussians fire and
sheltered the scattered French from pursuit.
The scene within the walls of Paris, upon
the south, beggars description.
The city is crowded with fugitives of what
went forth an exultant army, but returned a
beaten rabble.
Paris is wild with desperate rage at this de
,feat, andthe beaten soldiers are upbraided
with every conceivable expression.
The fugitives endeavor to shield themselves
thnt the Zouaves fled, and thereby caused the
disaster. The Prussians retain the heights of
Meudon, where they have, been reinforced.
The French columns, which retained their
organization - during the retreat, are holding
Crony, upon the plains; between Clamart and
Chatillon. The forts Montiouge and De
Vauves cover their rear and flanks.

Boderich Butler’s Benomlnatlon.
[Special Despatch to thePhila. Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, Sept 23 —The renomination
of Roderick B. Butler, of Tennessee, for Con
gress is very much regretted-here by a num
ber of Bepublicans, and is regarded as likely,
to injure the Bepublican party elsewhere, iu
view of hisnotoriety in connection with the
Pension Office frauds. Since his mock trial
arid release from arrest in Tennessee, the Pen
sion Bureau officials have been searching dili
gently for additional evidence which would
aid in convicting Mr. Butler, and in this they
have been very successful. It appears that
when the late war broke out there resided in
Eastern Tennessee a : number of pensioners of
the -war of 1812. In 1862 Congress passed a
law Suspending the payment of pensions to
those residing in the States in rebellion. Af
ter the close of the war, in 1866, an act was
passed allowing those who were debarred from
drawing pensions by the law of 1862 to beplaced
on the list again by proving loyalty during the
rebellion. Sir. Butler presented a large num
ber of claims to the Pension Bureau, duly
made out and with the oath of the claimant
annexed as to loyalty. After a number of
these claims had been paid, the Bureau re
ceived letters from pensioners,saying that Mr.
Butler bad illegally charged them from twenty
five to fifty per cent, on the amount collected.
The Bureau made an investigation into
the matter, and asceitaining that the re
ports were well-founded, struck Mr. Butler’s
name from the list of attornies allowed to prac
tice before the Bureau. Mr. Butler subse
quently endeavored to explain the matter, but
his explanation only satisfied the Bureau as to
his guilt, and his name was kept off the list
until after he was eleoted to Congress. Recent
investigations have disclosed the fact that on
many claims forwarded by Butler, the pen
-sioneris-riames-have-been~forged r ~aud_false
oaths made to their loyalty, many of them
having aided the rebellion, and so informed
Mr. Butler, who replied that he could fix it all
right with the Pension Bureau, and did by
causing false oaths to be annexed to the papers
and applying for a restoration to the pension
rolls. No doubt is entertained at the Pension
Bureau as to the guilt of Mr. Butler and of his
conviction, if a trial can he had outside of

Republican Majority In Georgia.
The same paper says that the Republicans
■will carry Georgia at the election next De
cember by 20,000 majority.
Secretary Cox Censured.
Secretary Cox is likely to have some trouble
with the leading Republican politicians this
fall about his clerical appointments in the In
tetior Department.
The Secretary has, it seems, totally disre
garded politics in making appointments, and
appointed persons to positions who are active
opponents to the Republican party 1 and the
Administration of President Grant, And who
were ardent sympathizers with, the late re
bellion.
The matter is much talked about here, and
Secretary Cox's action is quite severely oomv
mented upon in Republican circles.
Secretary Boutwell

Secretary Richardson will return to Massa
