The Bartender of'StmbejJJß) which was .an
nounced to the Philadelphia Tteic, in an os
tia'Bulletin, at an early, hour yesterday
mwiing, is the only important recent fact con
cerning the war between Germanyand France.
Its chief importance consists in' its enabling
the invading army to add the 1 besieging force to
the troops operating around Metz or Paris.
The resistance of the Strasbourg'garrison was
most heroic, and the whole story of the siege
■will make onb.'of the most remarkable chap
ters in thehistory,of the war.
" Paris being cut off from commu
nication with th e rest of the ; world, all that is
reported concerning the condition of affairs in
«nd around that city must, her received with
■doubt. The report of the destruction ,of a
hundred thousand Pr ussians by tbe blowing
up of the quarries of Mont Valerien, is too
stupendous a story fdr credit.
The telegrams of to-day, as well as. those of
last night, confirm tbe accounts , that the Ger
mans are determined to make no peace except
«m condition of retaining Strasbourg and Metz,
and it is now-even. stated.Jhat^theyjnsiet. on
adding Alsace and Lorraine to the North Ger
man Confederation. As the French people
will not consent to. this, and as no government
that would consent to it could possibly stand,
tbe prospect of peace is as remote as ever.
. THE COMM® ELECTION.
Except among the . candidates and the ex-,
pectants of office under those that are success
ful, there is a remarkable want- of interest in
the election that is to take place oh the -11th
of next month. The people of both parties
happen, for the time, to have their attention
.greatly~QCCupied_wAthJthe.,European war, and
tbe professional politicians, along with the can
didates, are “ running” the canvass. There
being no important officer to be chosen
is another circumstance that adds to the indif
ference of the public as to the result, and there
•ia great danger that the number of voters will
be very small, and that some of the successful
candidates will not really be the choice qjf a
majority of the men qualified to vote.
difference which the "best men of both parte
manifested concerning the primary elections aih}-
the nominating conventions is thus likely to
be Carried on into the October contest, and the
people will themseives be to blame if bad men
are elected.
At the time the Republican nominations
were made, we expressed our views candidly
concerning some of the scandalous scenes then,
enacted, and the bad character and general un
worthiness of several of the nominees. When
the Democratic conventions met, the scenes
were equally scandalous and most of the noriii
riations made were no better than the Repub
lican. Indeed, the average is not as good as is
the average 'of the'Republican ticket. Thus
the people were put in the awkward but not
novel position of having to vote for unworthy
men on either ticket, or to abstain from voting
altogether. It is the old, old story of “ rings”
oh both sides, the results of which are tickets
on which there are some good men, but the
majority, especially in the legislative nomina
tions, are not fit to be supported by intelligent
and honest constituencies. ,
The Republican candidates ' for the various
judgeships in 'this city are unexceptionable,
and they will all be elected by deservedly large
majorities. William B. Leeds; our candidate
tor Sheriff, is a first-rate man, who will make a
faithful and popular officer. Mr. Beatty, the
candidate for lleceiver of Taxes, is honest, in
telligent, and he has had suoli experience in a
subordinate position as thoroughly qualifies
■him. for the duties of its chief. Messrs. Titter
mary and Bain, nominated respectively for
Ork of the' Orphans’ Court and City Com
missioner, are deserving of the votes of theif
■party. Concerning Mr. Bunn’s nomination
for Register of Wills, and the manner in which
it was obtained, we have expressed our views
' fully,'and have nothing to unsay. He ought
not to have been nominated, after his career in
the Legislature, and he ought not tobe elected.
But we presume lie will’be, because the Demo
crats, in their nominating cphvention, did even
■worse than the Republicans, and amid scenes
of intrigue and corruption and disorder, put
- forward a very unworthy candidate, who will
not receive the full support even, of his own
party, much less that of discontented Republi
cans. As to the Legislative nominees, both
■tickets have on them the names of several of
the most notoriously corrupt men of, the last
disgraceful Legislature, and these’ should be
marked for defeat among the voters of their
respective districts.
XJIE PUBLIC BUILDINGS QUESTION
The greatest error into winch a journalist can
fall is to suppose the public is unable to (11s
r tinguish sound arguments from false. Arguing
upon this presumption, one of the ' Sunday pa
._. pers devotes conßMttyMfi.Bi»ce..to violent; ahnsa
of some of the institutiojn» ; which loyal t’liila
■delphiaDS have been accustomed to honor, be
cause they reflected credit upon literature)
science and art. Other arid rival cities, on
reading this attack, may love the treason, when
they must despise the traitor. It' has taken
years of labor, and the best services of many
who have gone to their graves, and whose me
mories will ever be honored for the talent,
■liberality and public spirit which they displayed,
to build up these monuments to science aud
literature, the work of two, and in one in
-1 stance of nearly five, generations, and which
it is now sought by one blow to demolish.
Note the benefit which they have conferred.
Tak'ejor hpxitmple the Philadelphia Library,
founded just 130 years ago. -Has it
' done nothing for the city of Philadelphia ? llqs ,
it not done more than enough to entitle it tp
the gift of a lot at the hands of the public V.
jEvery citizen is in eil'ect a .stockholder. A
stockholder owns.and pays air annual contribu
tion. Any one else, on depositing the value” of
. a work,and paying a very small weekly stipend,'
is entitled to its use. This is aj>rivilege greater
than is accorded by the British Museum,which
■ js supported entirely by Parliamentary grants,
because tlje student must be provided .with a
responsible endorsement. Any citizen can,any
day in the year that the library is open, have
any book, or any number of books, brought
to bis table, and this without charge.
. ' The Academy of Natural Sciences is, for. its
J-Jl collection, and resources,, as well, if not, bcttci
known in Eiu'ppe than America. Wo believe
there is but one collection in the world superior |
The Franklin Institute has proved a .benefit
to thousands.of m"ephonfcs,.-wbo cannot !but de
plore this gratuitous assault. ' '
The Academy of Fine Arts has been of in
calculable service in fostering a .taste .for the
arts,'.
JWbat.a centre of attraction thcfour.Bquares .
would pro'ye, if -o'ccupiedby, these, institutions, j
all accessible
this irrespective' •of the pecuniary benefit to the
citizens in presenting an attraction that would .
a visit of hours into one of .days, and ■
,also .without regard to the enhancement of the <
value of property in the neighborhood of Penn
squares." '
We have spoken of the abuse of these insti
tutions. We shall not retract the charge. Let
such .phrases as these prove its truth. The
Society .beggars, ” “ spoliation of • the., public
property,” ; “ the infamous character of the'
proposition,” “ agrarian proposition,” “pre
sumptuous insults' .like. ithese,” “ the
four associations' who by some
hocus , pocus have been juggled into
this law ” &c.» &c. This last assertion is in coi£j
tradictioh to the tenor of the article which
accuses these societies of an attempt at spolia
tion, but it appears the writer here relaxes the
severity, of his rebuke,'For now it is the socie
ties who are deceived—not who/attempt to
. deceive; The spirit of the article is worse in
its character than are the epithets in which the
writer indulges. It is an attempt to rouse the
prejudices of the community, because these are
“ the aristocracy of corporations, the privileged
class,” although in another place the proposi
tiomfiMenominated agrarian in . its character.
There is one which we are surprised
the writer should have overlooked, and which
neutralizes the force of his argument as to the
character of the buildings these societies may
erect-.--It 1b that.tlio jieople will be perfectly
protected. Councils may impose any condi
tions they please. ■ •
They 'may require that the collections of these
societies —t.hebooks of -the Philadelphia Li
brary, the priceless treasures of ■ the ■ Academy
of Natural Sciences, the pictures, works and
statuary of the Academy of Fine Arts, and the
books and scientific apparatus of the Franklin
Institute—shall be first conveyed to the city
absolute There is every indication that
Washington Square will be selected by a .ma
jority of many thousand votes over Penn
Square, when the question which has excited
the public mind for the last twenty years will
be put at rest. - . /
Every day the evidence . becomes stronger
that Russia intends to assail Turkey, and ful
fil hertraditional destiny as the controlling
power upon the shores of the Baltic. It is re
ported, very likely without authority, that the
French Provisional Government, has offered to
withdraw the guarantee given to the Sultan by
Napoleon, and to permit the Czar to carry out
his'design's against Turkey without French In
terference, if he will also help France to resist
The inducement to such an alliance
cannot he very powerful while France is ih her
present helpless condition, unable at the best
to do more than protest against the Russian
plans. It is more likely that the Czar has been
purchased at a simitar price by Prussia, and
that his consent to--tbe_Prussian schemes of
territorial aggrandizement has been secured by
a promise that Prussia will wink at any out
rage he may choose to commit against -the
Turkish Empire. It is hard to believe that
Russia would undertake the work of conquest
without some understanding of this kind. If
sncb an agreement does exist, and Russia as
saults Turkey, the attitude of England will be
come important. She joined with France in
protecting Turkey, and she must resist Rus
sian invasion with force, or submit to a humil
iation infinitely deeper than that which Was
heaped upon her by Napoleon’s proportion to
siege Belgium. We can hardly believe that
the British Government will bear such an ag-
gravated insult with meekness. If it does de
cide to assist Turkey, we. shall have the second
act in that great military drama, which certain
uncomfortable prophets have declared must
eventually involve all the powers of Europe.
Speaking of the Board of Aldermen the Age
this morning says:
u Inimpudent defiance of the law they have
appointed all the Radical election officers, and
also the Democratic officers to watch them !’ r
The Age does not state the case truthfully.
The law distinctly gives to the Board as a body
power to appoint all the election officers of'
both parties. It only requires that* a certain
proportion of them shall belong to the, rival
political organizations which polled the highest
and next to the highest number of votes at the
preceding general election. It is not claimed
by the Age, and it cannot truthfully, be asserted,
that the Democrats ‘have not received the
whole number of election officers to which
they are entitled. What the Board Aider
men did, was to reject some of the candidates
nominated-- by -Alderuiau .McMullen.. us
colleagues. They did this in the exercise of
their legal right to discriminate against bad and
dangerous men, and they did it in the interests
of peace, honesty and fairness. The Aye knows
all this perfectly well; and it will not dare to j
repeat the assertion quoted above aud print
with it the law governing appointments.
A grand mass-meeting of the Republicans of,
Philadelphia is to be held at Broad and Mar
ket streets, on Saturday evening, the call for
which will be found in our advertising columns.
This'will be the grand gathering, of the cam
paign. , Among the speakers expected are
Pop! master-G e neral Creswell, Ex-Governor
Hawley, of Connecticut, and many distin
guished Pennsylvanians. ■

- Lyons, Sept. 29.— The city has been upon
‘ the verge of revolt among the troops, jlt is
known that Lyons maintainsthe red flag, re
fusing to fly the tri-color standard of tho new
Bepublic.and this,with the extreme politics en
tained by the Kepublicans here,and various
other circumstances, have emboldened certain
Bed leaders to attempt to create diversions
aiminstjthe Goyement at Paris.
I>rominont iff creating these dissensions has
been the restless agitator, General Cluserot,
.. who has given the Government great trouble
by his injudicious oratory and-independent
course. Tuesday bo was unanimously elected
Commander-in-Chief of the volunteer army of
the Bhone by the Municipal Council. Fol
lowing immediately upon nls appointment he
developed notable characteristics for toment
ing disturbances. He miide an address before
the City Hall, attempting to incite a hostile de
monstration against the. Government of the
Bepuhllo. The people refused to swerve in
their allegiance, and Uluseret , next appealed
to tho National Guard, whom.he attempted to
prevail upon to side With him. The troops re
mained loyal to the Bepublic, and instead of
participating with Cluseret, arrested him.
Their ateadfaat faith in the government was
. warmly applauded,'aa it was feared that a cor
' tain spirit of dissension-had been aroused by
evil communications; but no signs of disloy
‘ alty manifested themselves upon this occasion,

The Bepublican spirit is intense. ,

TKprid.]-/The reported tall of Strasbourg,
wbidh is believed to have taken -place, ap
though the only despatch yet received here
announcing it, which claims to ho official, is
one signed William, but addressed to nobody
in particular, has failed to stl jfen <the ; price ot
consols. ■ " ■
For this there are two reasons: In the first
place, the fall of Strasbourg can make no es
sential difference in the condition of tho war,
and is more likely to embitter and prolong it
than to shorten it and bring, peace. In the
next place,the news from-France is considered'
to be wholly secondary.! to the very exciting
and menacing news to-day received .from
bad information yesterday,
from its agents on the Baltic that the military!
preparations which Bussia- has been ipaking;
so openly and with such extraordinary energy;
are-directed not against Turkey..ibUe-agaimg:
Germany. Tlie information is confirmed By
private advices, and it is. certain that there

Tbe Movement on Rome Independent of

-•Our correspondent at Florence sends word
that there is no truth whatever Jin the story
that the Italian Government had made ad
vances to any pjbwer beford tlie.occupa
tion of the _PAi>al States. It
is believed: the originated in the
fact that-Italy addressed a circular letter to
the Italian representatives of foreign courts
seltiDg fortlTtno absolute-necessity of her in
terference' at Rome to secure public order apd
the independence qf the I’ope, not less than
the rightß.and liberties of tbe Roman people
and tbe'pacification of Italy. The object of
Count San Martino’s mission to Rome was to
urge the Pope to recognize the good' faith of
Italy in this matter). There is some discontent
in Florence -at the disturbance created in
values by the apppSaching withdrawal of the
court and the government:to Rome, and some
of the papers-urge, the municipality to suspend
work upon the grand exterior boulevards. It
is understood that Ring \ T ictor will make liis,
entry, into the Eternal City immediately after
the taking of the plebiscittim', the result being
regarded as a foregoueiconclusion. The Evan

We are informed, from, a good source, that
when peace has'been once signed with Franco
on the basis of the cession of Elsass and
Lothringen—an event which, in' spite of
French gasconading, cannot be far distant—it
has been decided that these two appendages
of tho old German Empire, instead of being
broken up ,'and apportioned among differ
ent States, are to form a border territory,
covering and protected by Germany in gene
ral. and governed, as far as possible, in a judi
cial and economical point of view, according
to thoir existing customs and institutions. The
fortresses Of Metz and Strasbourg, will, natu
rally, be garrisoned by German troopsi but the
population of tlie two provinces will, for tho
present, be dispensed from service in the Gor
man army, nor will they bo represented in the
Keichstag. The,formation of a German out
lying territory, as a protection against the fili
bustering designs of France,is of course qhly a
provisional measure, intended' to remain in

federation. . _
Stutto art, Sept. 29.—The Government of
Wurtemberg officially denies that it has been
negotiating for hCr.entiiy into the North Ger
man Confederation, or that She has any inten
tion of joining the. Confederacy. .
l’be officialdenial has been provoked by
the rumors of Herr Delbruck’s visit in con
apprehensions that such an arrangement had
been perfected.
Favre’s Negotiations.
London, Sept. 29.—[Special to the ' N.' Y*
Tribune.) —The news of the Bismarck-Favre
interview was brought from Paris by means of
a balloon-by Jules Durnof. ,He left the Place
St. Pierre, Montmartre, at 8 on the morning of
the 23d. A strong east wind was blowing. He
rose 3,000 jards._ Wfth a telescbpe he saw the
Prussians pointing cannon aiflnin, and their
infantry tried rifles, hnt were out of range.
Ho brought three mail-bags, weighing 230
pounds; descended near Evreaux, and trav
eled thence by rail. . ' ;
Bisiijarck’a conditions weoe placarded in the
streets of Paris three days ago, and produced
the most defiant feeling among the popular
tio’n. Dilrnof,reports that a few days ago the
Prussians obtained possession of a redoubt
commanding St. Cloud, but wefo dislodged by
the cannon of Fort'dn Mont Valerien. All the
bouses in the Park of Montretoul are reduced
to ruins.
The affair of Bourget (abotit four miles
northeast of Paris, on the road to Soissons,)
was very serious and very dramatic. Sheltered
behind a house the Prussians had thrown np a
redoubt of bricks. A night attack took place
at this point. The electric light apparatus on
Bazaine’s system did capital service. A bat
talion of Breton. Garde Mobile' and National
Guards advanced upon the enemy, whose eyes
were dazzled by the light while the French
weTemthe shade. Cannons from the fort
fired upon the house'which protected the re
doubt, and the Prussians, surprised and
thrown into confusion by the unexpected ma
noeuvre, were routed, and left SOO prisonera in
the hands of the Garde Night and
day the sound of cannon is continually heard
in Paris. . •
The Imperial Exiles.
London, Sept. 29.—[Special to the New-
York Tribune.) —The ex-Empress Eugenie has
taken a fine house and -grounds at Chiael
hwst, in the ‘ county of Kent.' Dr" Evans,
•who accompanied her from France, is manag
ing her affairs.
It is not true that she quitted the Marine
Hotel'at Hastings on account of the annoy
ance by the,people. On the contrary, she was
treated by all classes witk the profoundest re
spect,~an(t7 \vas _ daily in receipt of presents of
quantities of bouquets. The greatest annoy
ance she experienced arose from the persist
ent request for interviews made by importune
aterreporters. -
The Irish Times, of Dublin, suggests that the
ex-” Emperor and his family should be invited
to settle down in Ireland; but why the Pope,
who has greater claims on Irish hospitality,
is not included in the invitation,'it is difficult
to understand. . .

Washington, September 29.—There is rea-'
son to believe that Minister Morton'>loll
not be instructed to' reopen negotia
tions for the settlement of , the Alabama
claims: - It is known that the President -is op
posed to allowing the question to be opened
up again in London, but will.insist upon con :
ducting all future proposals in Washington.
Secretary Cox.
The rumor is Be'Crefaty
Cox is soon to go out of' the Cabinet; . but it
does not appear to be well founded ; that there
will be a strong effort made against his con
tinuance in the Cabinet by leading politicians,
who are dissatisfied with his poUttqalJaotion,is
-very generally believed here; but it remains
to be seen whether it be of sufficient strength
tolaccomplish the objeot sought for.
Tbe weather* »
continues very warm here. A slight rain has
been falling almost steadily since last night.
