• I notice in some of the newspapers that
Mr. m : M. BlTNfr'
s charged with having presented and voted
for at the last session of the Beglslaturea bill
to extend Diamond street, thereby cutting
through the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery.
Now, Mr. Bunn is a- member of Chosen
Friends Bodge, No. 100, and has been a mem-,
ber of the lodge for six years. lam a member
of the same lodge, and, as a brother Odd Fel
low, I deemed it my duty to look this matter
up before condemning Hr. Bunn; 1 procured
a copy of the Journal of the last House of Be
presentatives, and lo! to • my surprise, I find
that Mr. Bunn’s is the only name that
appears: in the record . as opposing the
hill- The following is the re'cofd.of the
bill: It .was presented by James Miller,
January 2ii, reported from committee by Mr.
Hill, of Bycoming, February 9. On the 23d
of February, when thebill'was upon.its-final
passage, it was denounced by Mr. Bunn as an
infamous measure, and one that if it would'
become a law would destroy the cemetery and
desecrate the graves of thousands of the dead.
Mr. Bunn asked the House to defeat thg bill,
and presented remonstrances, from the ceme
tery company against it. The bill was vbted
down, no other,member or the House talking
against it but Mr.llunn. On tho following
Monday evening, February 28, before Mr.
-Bunn-reached the Capitol, as soon as . the
House, convened, Mr. Stokes, seconded
by Mr. Cloud, moved that the House
reconsider their-former- action and pass
the* bill, "which was done without a call
.of the yeas and nays. Now where were all
the other members from . Philadelphia who
claim that they were opposed: to this, bill ?
The record shows in black and white that Mr.
Bunn defeated the bill, and while he was un
avoidably absent,the bill was reconsidered and
passed, and ho one as much as called the yeas
and nays. Now it pertainly is very Wong,
since Mr.Bunnwasthe o'hly champion of the
Odd Fellows, for his opponent to put him in
a position contrary to , the position
the record shows' that he tooic; it
will do Mr. Daws no good; the - calumny will
recoil upon the calumniator. I have the record
at my house, arid I invite all my" brother Odd
:Fellows to call and examine for themselves,
and l defy Mr. Daws or anybody else to prove
that what,is set forth in this communication is

-■ I*Aiiis, Sept. 14, Night.—There is mourning
on the banks of ■ the Heines Norrora on hor
rors head accumulate ; one woe treads., on
another s heels, and the grief of an hour old
doth hiss the speaker. And still we are hut
io the first hour of Onr agony; The foe la at
our gates. I have seen the sunlight gleaiqlng
hre® o the . burnished helmets,: of the daring
Uhlans, who dashed up this morning to with- ,
in gun-shotof the fort,on the rampart of which
I stood gazing upon tpe desolation; that hid
succeeded to the: sm iiing scene" of loVeli
ness that a few days before greeted my eyes
from .the same point, of observation.. The
Prussians are beneath) o.ur wells. They have
k ®fi^.“ l,3l^! e .Pgagenient3: faithfully ;_the 14tlr
of September was the day named by them for
*heir appearance here, and they are here.
We have prepared for them,'but at what a
, cost) already; and at what a cost they are to
, be. entertained! - Outside of Paris there is,
devastation, and the abominations; of desola
tion j within its walls is what? There is no
fear, or, if there be, it is. bravely hidden—
eypn the women, with their' pallid
faces, haying brave Words on .their
quivering lips,; and bright smiles' on cheeks •
bedewed with tears. The smiles are for their
defenders, and their tears are for their cbil
'while fear is absent or is hidden
behind a mask, every other, emotion that fills
the human heart with agony rages almost: be
yond control. Had. the wand of a malignant
ana merciless fairy been waved, over Paris,
-chaDging-eveTytmng- that“ was joyous into ■
grief and all pleasant objects into emblems of
suffering, the transformation could hot have
been more Startling ■ and shooking than
that Which has occurred. From the boule
vards We see the. dense columns of
smoke that arise from the burning w.oods and
villaEWi arouna us.r and we SjpeeuiattTCm hoW
Jpnejtwillbe ere onr own bouses are setbn I

here to-night that the enemv have immense
mortars which Will throw projectiles to a hith
erto unheard of distance, and lhat the shells
for these mortars are filled with nitro-glycer
‘■J 6 -,+b e Paris you knew was most gay at
night—the Paris we now know is to-night
wrapped in silence, gloom and sorrow. Not a
theatre is open; the streets are ahnostdeserted:
all_ the shops are closed save the cafes,
and those are empty; the-few passers-by
who are seen walk quickly and without
speaking. Nearly every able-bodied man in
the city is in the defences or at the barracks,
and their wives and children sit at home with
( hearts heavy with grief, tip to this moment
the behavior of those from whom the worst
. was dreaded—the .-Beds and the mob —has
been wonderfully good. .Never has the city
been more orderly and more free from, crime::'
But how long is this to last? Kochefort has, ■
thus far, restrained the Beds, and the mob has
restrained itself. But there are terrible whis
perings in convents and in churches of vyhat
may happen when the red flag is raised, as we :
hear has been done in Lyons.— N, Y> World.

THK KUISIS IS STRASBOURG.
Effects of tbe Prussian Bombardment.
A letter from the vicinity of Strasbourg
says: “
The Public Library, the Temple Neuf, the
. Museum of Paintings, the most >nlendicL
mouses in the finest quarter,' are notv only
heaps of blackened ruins. The first-named
institution /was celebrated throughout Europe. I
It contained books ahd manuscripts unique in
the ■world, the: result of centuries or labor,’
patience; and.perseverance. Nothing now re
mains but a sheet of parchment or paper—not
a document. ..The site is now encumbered
with ruins, and,all that is to be seen is the car
bonized covers of one or two books in a cor
ner. Of the Church of the Temple Neuf, the
largest Protestant place of worship in Stras
bourg, with its splendid organ and renowned
mural, paintings, the four walls alone remain.
The Art .Museum at Aubette is totally de
stroyed,with the building in which it wa3 con
tained. The Cathedral has hitherto only
escaped by miracle the great disaster with
winch,‘it* was menaced every night. This
ruorningagaih some fragments of sculpture
and stone from the wails were found scattered
about the ground, andshowed that a cannon
ball had struck: our magnificent monament:
one of the glories of the world. The Notre
Dame Asylum, one of the oldest and most no
ble monuments of the middle ages, has been
rnjured by projectiles. The Hotel de Villeis
shattered. The Council Hall is devastated.
Several ’private - residences are ■ destroyed,
those In the Rue dti Temple Neuf, from the.
Library to the. Rue du Dome, have become
prey to the flames. The shells fell by dozens
aDd by hundreds in a single street, andj as
soon as the fife was lighted up projeotales were
poured like hail upon the spot, no doubt for 1
the purpose of preventing the workers 'from
getting the flames under. The whole city is
heaped up with wreck, and the roofs,chimneys
ami facades of the houses are damaged on all
sides.” ..
KI'SSIA AN® ill E WAR.
Threatening Attitude of the Czar.
Some iight is thrown on the attitude of Rus
sia and the military preparationssbeismaking
bj tlie following extracts from recent Russian
and other journals: ■ . .
The Gazette fie iloscovi says: “What is now
taking place ought to make us consider the po
sition in Which War would find us. In view
of the ultimate "victory on the side of Prussia,
and of the desire of Count Bismarck to extend
her frontiers and convert the Baltic sea into
a Prussian lake, we may expect him to turn
bis attention ; to our Baltic provinces, which
would enable Prussia to acquire immense naval
power. .In' anticipation of this even
-4wality-,-every-RUBSian.desire»-to.Jinaw*-wha-
twe are doing to receive the We have
"too much the habit oivwalting until )We learn
■by experience, and not foreseeing the
future. Thus, after the Crimean war, we com
menced to fortifyonly Cronstadt and Kertch,
forgetting the Prussian frontier, although it is
evident that we cannot count on the friend
ship of Prussia in the future. All strategic
conditions, and the course of the railroad lines,
demonstrate that it is necessary to fortify
Riga and as the seat of govern
ment of the Baltioprovinces, Kowno to defend
the railroads leading to Lobau or to St. Peters
burg, and because It is, the best place fora
fortiiied camp.
A great Lumber of artillery horses bSVS
been purchased in St. Petersburg, and a mer
chant there has, entered into a contract for
4,000 tuns of gunpowder. M. Nobel’s factory
has receivod'an order for 800 mitrailleuses, to .
be delivered by tho Ist of October. The Rus
sian journals anticipate that Prussia will de
mand the German portion of Alsace and Lor
raine, and in that caso they claim that Russia
should receive an'equivalent concession. In
order to- enforce -this, the army ought to be
promptly organized-

Hajiover,.Sept. 10.—I can give you the:fol
dowing information from , the best authority
respecting the recent political arrests in Ger
'wWclj have excited so much attention:
.The arrests: effected .yesterday in Bruns
wick were, directed at the members of the
Committee of the Socialist-Democratic Work;
ingmen’s Union, viz., at Messrs. Bi-aeke, Jr.,
Bonhorst, Gralle, Kuhnand Spier. The cause
-of the arrest-was tlie publication and circula
tion of a manifesto proceeding from the Com
mittee, and the arrests were made bv order of
the Governor, General Vogel; von *Falcken
stein. The prisoners were conveyed uhder a
strong military escort and handcuffed (!) like
dangerous criminals to the railway station, in
order, as is supposed, to be -transported to
Magdeburg'or Wiiiaen. ;Tn like manner the
printer of the manifesto in question, Herr von
Ehlers (from Brunswick), were arrested in
the conrse of the .afternoon, and were each
carried off hound to three policemen!
The police searched the premises of the
committee and confiscated a number of .papers
relating to'their affairs, included a large nmu
ber of printed copies of the manifesto. In the
evening strong military patrols- marched
through the town, which was supposed to be
threatened, but had no occasion to make fur
ther arrests or commit other excesses, as the
workingmen remained perfectly peaceable.
J.he incriminated manifesto-containeda com
prehensive explanation of the views of the
union on the present political situation,-ex
pressed the sympathies of the paiiy for the
newly established French republic, and dc
. manded a prompt and reasonable treatv of
■ peace with the present: French Government,
with an appeal to King William’s proclama
tioii that Germany made war only with the
Napoleonic goverment and not with the
Frenclipeople, J zl__ ...: l. • • -
With regard to any contemplated annexa
tion of Alsace and Lorraine, the manifesto
recommended that the integrity of, French .
territory should be left untouched, as The an
nexation wpuld only make a western Poland
for Germany, and induce new and bloodv
wars. J
The conclusion of the’manifesto urged., the.
.German people to make the Prussian barrack
system more adapted-to German unitv, hv
freedom tor the German people; and'glancing'
■at republican demonstrations in Spain and.
Italy, it expressed .the hope and conviction
. that, in spite Of the absolutism now domineer;.
itig over us, the time wiil some day come for
Germany also participate in the blessings
of a republic. • V ■
-Themanifes to-preservesatranquil-and
moderate tone througbont, and: in ordinary:
times, indeed even in the present: the eye of
any Prussian lawyer, however vigilant, would,
hardly perceive anything treasonable in it.
General Falckenstein, however, is noJawyor,
and understands much-better the discipline of
,Uie military art than that of the noble Lady
Themis, who said: “ The commencement ot
the, war has nowhere in Germany had to un
dergo rougbertreatmeiit than in the govern
ment of Hanover.” • .
This recent proceedingfhowever,, indicates
the sensitiveness of the Prussian Government
with regard to the question of annexation. It
is not impossible that a wink was given by the
highest circles, which easily explains such a
step with regard to this displeasing expression
of free opinion on this point. Be that as it

Arrest of tbe WorUlußui- n’s Committee.
1 From the Spectator.)
Germany seems to be even uow not strong
enough to let her people talk harmless polities
freely. "The Central Brunswick Committee of
the German section of “ The International
Workmen’s Association” issued on the sth
.instant a manifesto to.the German working
class, xaliing upon them to prevent the an
nexation of Alsace and Lorraine, and to bring
about an honorable peace with ,the Erench;
republic. This manifesto lias' been seized?
and all the members of the committee,
even the priiiter, were arrested ahd
chained like common felons, < and sent to*
Lutzen, in East Prussia. The general who is’

does, indeed, represent the Erankenstein of
Germanpolitics. -What can tin; government
Of any State in Germany have to tear from the
advocacy of political measures so honorable
and reasonable as these? Indeed, had they
been really revolutionary instead of singularly,
wise, what a blunder in the German authori
ties to treat revolutionists just now with any
greater respect than the English government
pays to the orations of Mr. Bradlaugh. . ,
THE CHASE 'fW THE HERMANN.
Slie Steers Sontb to Escape Her Par-
The news of the chase of the steamship
Hermann by a Erench ■war-vessel is corrob
orated by the accounts brought by the ship
Chancellor, which arrived early yesterday
morning from Liverpool. Capt. Patten, her
commander, informed the Quarantine Doctor,
who boarded her, that whep nearing port
be saw a brig-rigged steamship, like
ttie Hermann, veer round, and steer in
a southerly direction under full steam,
sou that, as long as she was visible, she con
tinued to hug the Jersey coast. The Quaran
tine authorities say that the; vessel seen must
have been the Hermann, as she was the only
bug-rigged steamer ,that left -the port within
. twenty-lout.. hours. She must , "have
adopted this unusual route in order to escape
her pursuer.- Her pilot, who took her out
says she was follwoed by a French gunboat,
said to be the Britomarte. Nothing has been
heard since of ■' the further movements
or the war-veskel / seen by Capt. Jud
kin, near Eire Ala'nd. The, Erench Consul
says that he has not been made aware of the
chase, but that it is only a very likely thing to •
have occurred, as the Germans, he asserts,
would do the same had thev the chance. Mr.
Koessing, the North German Consul, can give
no information nn-the subject as lre'says tbat
-he is completely in the dark as to the move
ments and -number: of..the Erench vessels of
war in our vicinity. Ho says the trip of the
.Hermann waa.uhderstpod to be an experiment
to test ohances.-rijy’.T.' Times.
