THE WAR.
Tuesday, August 23.
There appears to be a lull in tho great
contest, no report of fighting being received
from any quarter. In London it is stated
that all reliable advices from the seat of war
shows that the Prussian commnnders are
seeking to effectually surround Marshal Ba
zaioe so that reinforcements will be unable
to join him. The Crown Prince is pushing
on towards Paris, his pickets having appear
ed at St. Dizler, a town on the river Mnrne,
6o miles southeast of Chaluna, and lib
miles southeast of Paris.
The Josses in the recent battles are said
to have been enormous.
Paris continues to prepare for a vigorous
defence, and one report places the number
ot troops in that vicinity at upward ot three
hundred thousand. The Cowtitutionnel
publishes a circular from the Minister ot
the Interior to prelects ot departments, an
nounoing that orders have been given for
a distribution of arms to the people from the
arsenal.
A telegram from Vienna states that the
Austrian Germans have pronounced in la'
vor'of Germany in the present war. A
proclamation is said to have been issued in
their name calling upon all their patriotic
brethcrn to rally to the support of Prussia
and German unity.
Prince Napoleon is at Florence. His
mission is to demand the mediation of Italy,
Confidence in the ultimate success ot the
military movements now in progress is in
creaseing in Paris. At the Ministry of the
Interior last night it was announced that do
definite tews would be received from the
army for some days to come, it being with
held lor prudential reasons.
.Manifestoes begin to appear in South
German papers insisting that Alsace must
be ceded to Germany as a condition of
peace.
FrtOM outgivings at Harrisburgh we
are prepared, says an exchauge, to believe
that tho Govenor will sign tho death war
rant and fix the day for the execution of
Sctcppe, the Carlisle murderer. The pris
oner has written a begging letter asking
for his life that he may bo permitted to re
turn to Prussia to enter into her armies.
Goveuor Geary is a cunccieutious man. He
would uot swerve lrom the discharge of a
duty even if the whole country thunders at
his doors to have him do otheiwisc. While
we would ask that mercy be shown to the
unfortunate and miserable felon, still we do
uot occupy Geary's place and are not
bound to discharge any duty in the prem
ises. It is the most painful act of an Ex
ecutive to sij;n a warrant for the shifting
f a follow-bein-j's soul iuto externity, and
the fatal signature is generally made with
trembling hand. It Schicope be awarded
fe anil libertv, few will condemn tho
leniency : if, however, he shall be hanged.
none can reflect on the Governor for having
it-charged his full duty iu a conscientious
manner.
Tho Judicial nomination.
From the Erie Dispatch.
North East, August 14, 1870.
The Republicans of this vicinity, quite
txeiiera'ly, if not unanimously, condemn the
bolters and will in no wise endorse their er
tors. We see nothing in this case to relieve
it from the error of all bolters. The griev
ances complained of ure such as are alwnjs
pleaded by those who ure willing to sacrifice
i heir party for individual iuterest. Even
more than iu ordinary cases of this nature
are tho folly and evil puposes of the mis
guided Erie County Conferees apparent;
since they ihreatened, rashly threatened,
many days in advance of the meeting ol
tho convention to rupture the party and re
sist it ruling through the convention, in
case tho condition they presented was uot
accepted aud endorsed.
