paper, duritig' the Rebellion." We also,
nt tbe tame time, hiuted that be favored,
in glowing Colors in his correspondence,
tbe Rebel taue. The partial account
vt the firrt Uttle of Bull Ruu' was of
each a character that eiuce that time,
when he is spokeu of he is styled, "Bull
Ron Russell' The Northern press and
people condemned him r-iunely for hia
missrepresentatioti. Latterly he has
hown himself a gain a a correspondent
for the paper ab:ve referred to, at the
G rman head qnarters in France. The
snubs that he received in this country
for bis unfair course while here, were
not as severe a. were the snub he re
ceived a mouth ago from the Prussian
head quarters, for the reason that the
Prussian snubs wera of an official char
acters, and the Amerieau snubs were not.
Count 1'ismark has put tbe mark of
disapproval upou him A mouth go
Russell, in a letter to tbe 77m, report
ed a conversation that took place be
tween King William and the Emperor
Napoleon soon after tb surrender of the
latter. "It waa well written, as are all
his articles, but it was a fabrication,
unworthy of a mau of Russell's preten
tions when he declare himself as repre
senting or narrating facts. Bismarkrays
of the reported eonvereatinu, under date of,
October 2 : "The report of the conversa
tion between King Willium and tbe Em
peror Napoleon, given by Dr. Russell,
the T-met' correspondent, is founded on
mere invention.' F.innaik's despatch,
of c:tne cannot affect the fine style to
which Rnssell writes, nor injure him as a
fiction writer, but it annihilate him as a
truthful writer of facts. I'icmnrk's de

A Convb.xtios, to take measures for,
the removal of the National Capita! to j
some point wert of tho Allegheny Mouu-,
tains, held its sessions at Cincinnati last
in tbe opiniou that it ought to be remov
ed, but as to the place, it could not
agree. Sixty seven delegates, all West
ern men, constituted the the convention.
A letter was read from Horace Grnely,
suggesting New York as the proper place.
Tbe Convention thought that awful for
Creely. A letter from Col. Forney was
read, denouncing the whole movement as
fraught with "incalculable mischief.''
The members of tbe Convention, wheu
votiug for a locatiou, voted for their owu
places respectively.
Di'KiNO the past seven months three
attempts had been made by burglars to
enter the store room of a New Tork gun
smith, Mr. Agostrias. lie grew tired of
these efforts at entrance, and set a gun
trap at the window at which the bur
glars had previously tried to enter, and
lo, and behold, on the morning of tbe
25th nit., when one of the men employed
in the store came to open it be was start
led at the sight of a dead man lying be
low the window where the gun trap had
been set. The top of the burglar's head
was blown off.
A wkk ago W. W. Glen, Esq , of
caiumore, gave a dinner to gentlemen of
the turf. At that party a match between
two three-year olds was made for $25,000
a side, with $10,000 forfeit; one horse to
be an imported English horse, tbe other
an American horse, both to be named
within a month. In case either horse ia
not named within the stated time a for
feit of 500 dollars shall be paid and the
match shall be considered broken. The
race, a two miles dash, will be run at
Jerome Park, at tbe fall meeting of 1871
Last week the First National Bank at
Grafton, Mass., was entered by a gang of
burglars, who gagged and bound the
watchman, and then dug the safe out of
the vault and robbed it of money, bonds,
and valuables amounting to more than
$200,000. They also stole a horse and
wagon in the vicinity of the town and
drove to Worcester, where they took the
cars. Fifteen thousand dollars reward
has been offered for the capture of the
thieves and recovery of the property.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, bas de

son for so doing is that in the event of
his resignation as a Senator the Demo

Thus bas tbe whole of the regular troops

or two under tbe command of General
Troehtt. France baa no troops bnt raw

thousand Prussian troops. King Wil
liam and Bismarck doubtless know bow
to judiciously use these troops. Basaine
is bitterly censured for the surrender of
. ....... i .
Mets, by the government of tne ttepuo
lie. The General ia charged with treach
try. Tbe government, in a thrilling
proclamation, is calling on the French to
raise their ''spirits and resolution to tbe
fearful height of the perils which hare
broken upon the country. Alas ! Alas
for France ! Bazalne defends his action
by declaring that bis army and the peo
pie within the limits of the fortress were
on the verge of starvation. This is prob,
ably true. In it read the fate of Paris.
Tbe German States, North and South,
have agreed to name King William, Em
peror. This, if true, secures German
unity.

Monsieur Jules Favre, bead of the
new government, is introducing a system
of economy in tbe administration of pub
lic affairs. In future a Counsellor of
State will receive $3,000 instead of 85'
000 a year ; a Prefect, according to his
classification, $3,600, or $2,400, or $2,
000 ; a sub-Prefect, $1,200' or $1,000,
or $800 ; a Minister of State (of the
Cabinet), $10,000 instead of $20,000.
The Civil List, $5,340,000 a year, and
the pay of Senate, $1,100,000 (each Sen
ator had $6,000 per annmn, for life), are
wholly abolished. A saving of $10,
000,000 a year will thus be effected.
The pensions of all literary men and
dramatists who do not prove their need
of such assistance are suppressed. Last
ly, M. Jules Favre and the rest af the
Provisional Government refuse to ac
cept any pay whatever. Ex,

township in Chester county elected W
Johnson, a colored man, constable at the
late election. Tbe village Record says :
We must confess that we had hardly
expected to record the election of the
first colored man in Chester county, un
der the workings of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, in a township that rolls up a Dem
ocratic majority of forty -six on a total
vote of two hundred and six. The Dem
ocrats voted for Johnson out of spite,
but they probably never made a better
choice." ,
