PEACOCK. FETHERSTON & CO. Monday, September 26,1870. PRUSSIA’S TERMS. The chances of securing peace between France and Prussia through the medium of negotiation are/now more, remote than ever. Bismarck has rejected the proposition made by France, and has offered terms which are said to include surrender of Alsace and Lorraine after an armistice which shall give Strasbourg, Verdun and Mont St. Valerian temporarily to the Prussians. Whatever may have been Favre’s desire forpeacehe had “iwrehoice but to reject these terms. His acceptance of them would undoubtedly have been repudiated by bis colleagues and by the people of France, and very likely would have robbed the Provisional government of what semblance of authority and power remains to it. Bismarck was as sured of this result when he made the offer. He knew that France could. never make a dishonorable peace while she was capable of further resistance, and the proposal of such terms simply expressed his determina- tion to prosecute the war until the power of France, is completely destroyed. _ By this ac tion Prussia assumes the terrible responsibility of carrying on a war simply for purposes of territorial aggrandizement. As Napoleon re ceived the condemnation of the world when he hegan hostilities-without sufficient provocation, and caused infinite misery and suffering, so Prussia will deserve reprobation for continuing the war long after she has won all that she can fairly require. She is entitled to full indemni fication for her losses, and to some guarantee ag-jiifst future assaults. These she can M. Favre offers to pay her a sufficient pecuniary indemnity, to dismantle the French fortresses to.disband the French armies and to surrender half the French fleet. This is enough. If Prussia accepted such' terms; her adversary would be no longer dangerous, and there would' remain no cause for another war. But if Prussia seizes two French provinces after crushing French power, there will only be an adjournment of the war. France will cherish undying hatred of Prussia, and the day will come, sooner or later, when that very territory which Bismarck professes to desire as a guar antee of peace will become.a provocation to fresh strife. The sentiment of the civilized world is, that Prussi a should conclude tbepre- sent war upon the terms proffered "by "the Provisional Government. France is ut terly demoralized and paralyzed. The army is Without a great leader," the government is without substantial author ity, and there is dissension, turbulence and anarchy in Paris and throughout the country. The conflicts between the French and Prussiau troops hereafter will not have the dignity of ~battles7 ' tbey wili bimmssacres, inwhich the undisciplinedmob will be slaughtered by Prus sian artillery. We cannot contemplate the spectacle afforded by the fighting wlfich oc curred near Paris, last week, without horror and pity. Victory, in such contests, is a tri umph of cruelty; it might be won by any bloodthirsty desperado without a spark of military genius. But it is certain that the war will continue in this cruel fashion until" Paris is taken. What will ensue in that event cannot even be conjectured. It is not unlikely that there will be in France by that time two or three rival governments, none of which will have as much authority to make terms as Favre now has. In such a case,or in the event of the overthrow of the Favre government by a mob, Prussia will find herself in the French capital, with no alternative but to patch up a goverfiment, Bonaparte or Republican, which can pretend to have power to make a treaty. Any government constructed in Paris under Prussian direction will last until the Prussians withdraw their army, and no longer. WOOS AND STONE. In settling the question of paving Broai street, —and there is no danger of settling it a day too soon,—we find the opinion broached in some quarters that a Belgian pavement would be the most suitable. We think this is an error of judgment. It is probably based upon the fact that Broadway, in New York, is paved with stone, and that it lias there proved to be the most economical, because the most durable pavement. But there is an essential difference between the two streets in the character of the uses j to which they are put. Broadway, running j down to the point of the island, is the main artery into which all other streets drain, from a topographical necessity, and the heavy omni busses and heavier trucks and wagons loaded with merchandize, with which it is crowded, make a stone pavement indispensable. Broad street, on the other hand, requires a different pavement, as it will be chiefly occu pied, certainly during the next generation, if not always, by light pleasure-vehicles, for which a substantial wooden pavement is far prefer able. Broad street, like Fairmount Park, is to be improved and beautified for the general use of the people, and as a great attraction to strangers visiting Philadelphia. We are only just beginning to appreciate the value of this Jatter consideration, but Jit is oneof great ipa city. Beautiful parks, beautiful aveuugs,-beautiful buildings, line hotels, all bring wealth and ....... power to the city, that possesses, them, and Philadelphia has peculiar facilities for adorning herself with those attractive features thatriot only draw visitors from abroad, but keep them —here to admire and enjoy them. The fame of our Park, even in its incipient development of gjrgndgur and loveliness,; has widely spread throughout the country, and we already feel I the advantage of it. And Broad street is •destined to become as great an attraction in its as Fairmount Park will be. It is full time that our city authorities were moving actively in this matter. We may leave to posterity the duty and the expense of laying down a costly stone pavement in Broad street, . __"'•Vs'- 'f >, v^*""•’*— iif the, future should prove such a pavement to he necessary. What we want now, for the uses 6? to-day, for the benefit of this genera tion, is a firet-class, perfectly-laid woodeif pave ment, from Coates street U>/Reed street, and the general improvement of Broad street Wll immediately follow. But mere must be no mistake in selecting the very best pavement •that can be procured. Three wooden pave ments are how on trial in Philadelphia. The Nicolson, on North'BroadjStreet, has not been a perfect success, and the action of Councils last week in refeience td the claims of the eon tractors who laid it seems to indicate that their work has not been altogether satisfactory. In Green street, the Miller patent is being tried > and in front of the Custom House, where it is exposed to the heaviest and hardest usage, the Stowe pavement is acquitting itself, thus far, with perfect satisfaction. By airAeans, let us : begin the work of, paving Bread Street. Bearing in mind the fact that the great draft of heavy merchandise sets mainly east and west, between the two rivers, and cannot therefore be thrown upon Broad street, to any great extent, the street should be at once prepared for the light driving which will he •poured upon it, the moment the present horrible cobble-stones arid deserted railroad tin ri-outs. are replaced by a smooth, hard, wooden pavement. If Broad street hoover to have a stone pavement it is not now. The best wooden pavement in the world cannot be expected to last forever, and when the Work of this generation shall have worn itself out, it will be time enough, for those who come after us to consider the question of replacing it with some other m aterial. . The Park has already given a wonderful im petus to the use of . pleasure-vehicles in Phila delphia, and when we can open to these a grand unhrqken drive from League Island to George’s Hill or the WisSahiclcori, we shall have something to. boast of which cannot be approacbedj in all ‘time, by any city on this continent. . Death ofJad?e Grier. The venerable Robert Cooper Grier, one of America’s most eminent and respected ju rists, died at bis residence in this city, at an early hour this morning, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. . • - Judge Grier was born in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 5; 1794. He was educated at Dickinson College, where he graduated in 1812. Upon the death of his father, Rev. Isaac Grier, he took charge of his academy in Northumberland, and in 1817 was admitted to tbe bar. After practasing_for 9 Bhort time in Bloomsburg, he removed to Dan ville in 1818, where he resided for twenty years, pursuing his profession with, great en ergy and success, until 1838, when he was ap pointed by Governor Ritner president judge of Allegheny county. In 1848 J udge Grier removed to Philadelphia; where he has re sided ever since. On AugustJ,lB46, President Polk appointed him n justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in place of Justice Baldwin, .deceased, and hei continued to hold the office, with distinguished ability, until December, 1889 , when advancing age and infirmity com .pelled him.to tender his’resignation. In ac cepting hiS resignation, President Grant testi fied the general appreciation in which Justice' Grier was held, and his own personal estimate of his value as a’faithfui servant of the Re publican the following letter— Executive Mansion. Doc. IS. 186: 9.~To th* Hon. Bobert C. Grter-SiR : Your lottor containing the tender ofthe resignation of your office of Associate Justice ot “the Supreme Courtof the United Stateßrto tako effect on tbe first day of February next, baa been received by mo to-day, and ypur resignation is accordingly accepted, to take effect on that date. 1 sincerely regret the Increas ing physical infirmities which induce you to retire Irom the bench, and with the assurance ofmy personal sym pathy and respect, desire alßo to expross mv sense of the ability and uprightness with which your judicial duties have been per lornied. In looking upon your long and honorable career in the public service it must be especially gratifying to yourself to remember, as it is my agreeable duty and privilege on this occasion thus distinctly to recognize,the great service which you were able to render to your country in the darkest hour of her history,by the vigor and patriotic firmness with which you upheld the just powora ol tho Government, and vindicated the right of the nation under the con stitution to maintain its own existence. With tho hope that your retirement may ho cheered by the knowledso of public gratitude, as well as by private affection, 1 remain very respectfully yours, U. S. Grant. Although retired f?om professional to pri. vate life, the death&lf Judge Grier will be se verely felt amongjhe members of the bench and bar, as refmMng another of the old-time lights of An&rican law, whose long and hon orable career leaves an example which will be held in grateful remembrance among those who have been, associated with him, or who have grown up under the advantages of his wise and learned judgments. Judge Grier, for two years past, has been gradually breaking down under the accumu lation of years and a life devoted to incessant -study and labor in his profession,and the com munity .at large, as j well as His more intimate " circle of relatives and friends, have been prepared to hear the sad tidings of his decease. He passes away, in the beautiful words of the ancient Psalmist, “ like a shock of corn, fully ripe,’’ full of years and of honors, leaving behind him,as the richest legacy he could bequeath to hiß children, a name unblemished, and a record as a faithful, able and devoted servant of the people which will live forever on the pages of American jurisprudence Enlargement of the Ectiger. AV'o congratulate our neighbor, the Public Ledger, upon the substantial evidence of its increasing prosperity, afforded hv the enlarge ment of its pages, by an addition to its length equivalent to about four columns. This is the seventh time that the Ledger has found it necessary to enlarge. The first issue of the paper, March 20, 1830, was a page of four columns, whose letter-press measured !)ial4 inches, or about 518 square inches of type. March 27, 1837, a column was added and the page lengthened. July 6,lB39,another elongation was made. May 9,1840, another i column was ..added. July 3,1841, tho page was again lengthened. May 1, 1844, still | another column was added, and tho page lengthened. March 25, 1850, it was again lengthened. September 25,1865, the eighth column was addod, and now, September 20, 1870,'t-be page is once more lengthened, so thalrthe form-, exclusive 17 Ja24j, a superficies of typo of 1,7323 inches, just tlireo and-arthird times larger than , the little sheet that begun its adventurous, but succesSful'career tllirty=fouryears ago.- . —— Thomas Birch A Son, Auctioneers— Birch & Son will hoILuI public mile, to-morrow nmrninE. utlU o'clock, at tbo Auction Store, No. 1110- rhestnut struct, Mr. Carl Mliiingor's entire Htock of ele gant cabinet furniture and upliolstory.

They expect thegreatest resistance at the latter city.’ Another Sortie from Metz Defeated. A despatch from the Prussian headquarters near Metz reports tbie signal failure of another attempt of the French to cut their way out from Metz on Friday. The French in strong force made a sortie from the city gates and be yoDd the walls. Their advance was checked, and they were driven back after four hours' heavy fighting. General Bazaine despatched a courier to the Prussian headquarters’ with an ofler,to capitulate upon conditions that his troops shall be allowed to retain their arms and be released upon parole, promising not to re sume hostilities inside of three months. This ofloT Will probably be rejectad by tiie Prus sians.. Tblers’s Intel view With Von Beast. Vienna, Sept. 20.—M. Thiers has had an in. teryiew with Count Von Beust, when Thiers presented his appeal for mediation in behalf of tho Republic. The interview was very pro tracted. Von Beust, after listening to Thiers’s proposition, infonnod him as to. the attitude, and sympathies of his government during the present struggle. Von Beust said: "Austria, while feeling deeply for France (with sympa thy which could not be disguised), still could not, at the present time, interfere in her favor without serious complications ensuing.” M. Thiers, convinced of the impossibility of securing Austria’s intervention, has gone to St. Petersburg to ask Russian intervention in return for valuable concessions in tbe East. Brussels, Sept. 26.— Late advices from- Paris announce that thg. disaster at Olamont and Jleudon, by the rout apd flight of D’Hugue’s and Coussade’s commands, aroused the utmost indignation against the cowards They are reproached upon all sides, and now that the truth has been disolosed, the Mobiles who were at first lionized, have fallen into disgrace, along with their comrades, the Zou aves. General Trechu has issued a circular to the soldiers of Paris, copies of which have been read to the troops by the adjutants of the various regiments. The General strongly censures the troops concerned in the recent disorderly Tetreat and panic at Clamont, and severely reprimands them for their cowardice. Trochu says the misfortunes of the war show undiscipline and demoralization. Bavaria and tbe North German Confede- Berlin, Sept. 26.—Numerous notes hare passed between the foreign offices and the Government at Munich. Itis understood upon prominent authority in diplomatic circles these’ notes concern-proposals upon -which- Bavaria is offering to join the Confederacy of the North German States. In return for the sur render of her autonomy she asks greater inde. pendence than can be afforded to her as a member of the fJund... ' French Acconnt of a Sortie From Metz. Luxembourg, Sept. 26.—Accounts from French sources state that Bazaine had effected a successful sortie, oh Friday, and burnt all the German encampments along the Mcwello, between Metz and Thionville. The New Italian Capital. Florence, Sept. 26. —General Codorna has formally opened the Proyisional Government at Borne. At the inauguration he delivered a speech, wherein he stated that the occupation of the Eternal City constituted a new epoch in the hisft>ry of Italy, and a commencement of a new era in' the Italian Government, which, when completed, would constitute Borne as the capital. . The Peace finest lon.

The writer Says: Every sacrifico-'which Prussia has made in this war with the 'view to its termination, particularly those which have been made since the battle of Sedan, have been useless towards the. desired end. Such result only increases the _ indignation of Germany and also increase the ' just demands of the German people on France. These considerations should weigh with and he calmly .balanced by the provisional govern ment in Paris. Frenchmen should attend to it for the sake of France. Prussia is to know if the imperial government of France would have made peace after the battle of Sedan,- but the Prussian people do know that previous to, and immediately after, that event the German conditions for peace would > l:30-0’Olooii. 1 ESORT Disgraced. ration.- ITALY. ...... ■ ' f■ 0t .

Jules Favre lettFer rleres for Meaux on Thursday morning and re turned to Paris on Thursday night. Immedi ately upon biß return a meeting of .the Com mittee for the Defence of the Nation was held. After a brief statement of the negotiations ho bad carried on with Count von Bismarck, M. Jules Favre submitted to the committee the terms on which alone Count ,von Bismarck would consent to treat with France for peace. These were: 1. That Strasbourg, Ton), Phalsbourg and Verdun should be immediately surrendered. 2. That France Bhould supply the German army with free transportation for provisions and munitions of war, as well as for recruits to fill up the broken German regiments in France. ... On these conditions Count von Bismarck bad expressed bis willingness to proclaim an armistice during the election and meeting of the Constituent Assembly. When M. Jules Favre had finished reading these propositions “Gen7Troehu-rose-in-his-place,-quiet grave and . stern, and, Jew.conclse_s_entences ! _caUed for tne rejectionrinstant and -uneonditipnal,- of propositions which,;he said, “ I should de scribe as ins'ulting did I not believe them. to. bo intentionally illusory.” General Trocbu then went on to speak of the condi tions of the contest. He said: “ I should con demn a hopeless contest both as a citiz.en and as a soldier. No man has a right to recommend suicide to a nation any more.tlian to ajinan. But France is in no such emergency. The capital is Able to resist, ana with .the fall of the capital the departments .will -rise. The winter is fast approaching, and the armies of. the invader, already harassed and suffering, will then be exposed to the greatest want and :misery._ From all. parts of the country the republic is warmly indorsed and accepted. New armies are forni ' bravo Frenchmen mustering in" arms for the defence of the nation would disown our action were we to humiliate France by such a surrender of her rights, her honor and her- dearest interests, as Prussia how demands of ns. The great cities of France would not abide by our cap itulation. The trials of a cruel war, made a war of necessity by our implacable, invaders, will restore the-manboou and elevate the spirit of the French people. I propose that the committee unanimously reject the condi tions offered by Count von Bismarck. ” These remarks were vehemently applauded, and tbe terms of Prussia were unanimously rejected. : . Since tbe reply of M. Jules FaVre for tbe ■ Government reached Count von Bismarck at Meaux, he has been obviously disturbed in mind. The Prussian Embassy here begins to speak of proposing- a congress of' the European powers, to guarantee the fulfilment by France of whatever terms of peace maybe finally suggested and adopted. This change of tone excites much remark here, but no one anti cipates that a favorable reception will be ex tended to any such a plan at present. Flnnnclal. London, Sent. 26, 11 A.

Tbe New Yorb Money Market. .1 From the Herald of to day.] Sunday,Sept. 25.—The week In Short has been almost uDexceptiouaily a very busy one in every .branch of trade, and the piospect for an active fall has seldom been so bright. Moreover, the tacit assurance of the authorities at Washington that the money market will be kept easy has given confidence, and stimulates en terprise. The assurances referred to have been tho pnrehase so far this month of nine millions of bonds, the Secretary ol the Treasury having exceeded bis advettised pro gramme by three millions. As the resources of the Treasury seem unimpaired by these liberal disburse ments, the expectation is indulged in that ho will con tinue to buy. heavily the balance of the season. Tho suggestion is made—and we second its propriety— that he should alternately bay with gold aud currency. Thus, in place of selling a million of gold each week, causing a flow of money into tho Treasury which comes out again the next day or two in purchase of bonds, it is proposed that he should buy bonds with the million of gold. In this way he would accomplish precisely the same result, but would provent the move ment of money into and out of tho Bub-Treasury. In other words, tho disbursement would be continuous and prevent* any spas modic changes in the money' market. Not that there have been any sueh irregularities experi enced as yet. The amount of gold sold has not been large enough to overcome tho larger disbursements in payment for purchased bonds, but the effect of the plan suggested woold be to steadily reinforce tho reserves.of tbehanks one day with gold and the next day with le gal tenders. Such a policy in conducting the Treasury operations would bu exceedingly gratifying to every financial ' and commercial interest. On call loans the past week ' the rate has ranged from five to six per cent, for the bulk of business, but the exceptions at seven were far outnumbered by those at four per cent. At the very clobo six per cent, was rather the exception, despite the unfavorable bauk statement, and largo balances were offered at four. A year ago money was worth very extravagant rates, far it was tho week of tho great panic, bnt previous to that -eventi and-aa-eoriy-aa-Soptr-W,- cont. currency to seven per cent. gold. If surprise be ex pressed that money is now so easy, when thebanks hold only $8,090,000 in excess of the legal reserves, it should not bo forgotten, as above stated, that a great deal of money has been released to the street by the cancella tion of governmentbonds, wbilotbe quantity of private capital transferred to the banking business is shown by the largo balances offered by private houses, and Dy tho appearance in the street of firms which a year or so ago were in the dry goods and other trades. In discounts there is a freer movement, and-a good deal of business was done at 7% to 8 per cent. for strictly prime paper. rNTBREST ALLOWED ON DEPOSITS.

The terrible demands Of the war both for men and material awake a feeling of terror among all classes of citizens, and there is a strong outspoken conviction that the real issues of the war, so far as the people are con cerned, were long since decided in favor of Prussia, and all further hostilities are hut little short of murder. The result of this is that amongst all classes demonstrations of hostility to the Prussian Government have been frequently shown in a covert sort of a manner. Yesterday these demonstrations were no.longer disguised, and bands of workmen paraded the streets singing the “ jVlarsellaise,” and crying out at frequent intervals, “ Vive la France.” Alsace and Lorraine. -- Dresden, Sept. 26.— Tho majority of the. people of this city have declared in favor of the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine.
