The action of the State and Congressional
Republican Conventions all over the country
is marked with cheering concord and har
mony. Persons engaged in a common caue
can only expect succe ss through com promise
and concilation, and in this spirit all these
gatherings have terminated. With spirited
contests, in some cases, for the coveted

has been peace.
A great evil, or rather abuse in the con
duct of National banks which at one time
threatend serious trouble, has gradually
been done away with through the watchful
ness, care and attention of Comptroller Hul
burd. We refer to the correction of the
practice on the part of the banks once so
much in vogue, of permitting the five per
cent, reserve fund required by the law to be
held by them, to sink below the standard or
to disarpear entirely in the finaneitl trans
actions. This has been fully remedied.
There are in the United States J ,390 banks,
required to hold the reserve, having liabili
ties, on June 9th last of $409,000,000, re
quiring a reserve of $C 1, 000,000, but they
hold rj-'.000,000, a healthy excess of $31,

law.
The Liberty (Clay Co., Mo.,-) Tribune,
published a number of heart-rending letters
from old men of Clay County, who have
been "disfranchised." Their records give
unmistakable evidences that they were reb
els, copperheads and bushwhacker, during
the rebellion. The climax of suffering is
reached in the Ci.e ol one Anderson I. Tur
pin. I lis letter sounds as if written from
some cannibal inland. Here it is :
I wa l-oro in Montgomery county, Ky,
15th of I'per-mber, 1804. Came to Mis
nnri in 18.54: moved to Kansas in 1860.

was arrested by a body of lawless men, tried
by a secret court-martial, and sentenced to
be eaten to dvath by negroes was bitten
by neeroes until they thought I would die,
was placed in prison, and after five months'
confinement made my escape and fled to
Liberty, Mo. Was and am a true Union
man, but because I do not now love the
negro I am disfranchised.
Anderson 1. Turpix.
Mr. Richard Turpin, vulgarly known, as
"Dick Turpin," of highway robbery memo
ry, could boast of no such remarkable escape
from death as this. And we doubt very
much if "Tom Pepper," an individual who
is said to have been kicked out of the "in
fernal regions" for lying, ever told a story
half so great.
The opponents of woman's rishts jeeringly
ask : "If women accept the right of suffrase,
they should take with it its duties as well as
its privileges, including the performance of
militaryduty." Butthe army is not the only
I lace to serve one's country during war, and
people must eat as well a3 fight- By doing
the farm work, thns letting the men get into
the army, the women do their full share to.
ward the miliraay service. France and
Prussia are learning the truth of this.
The women of those count ries will prevent
the forebodings of loss arid suffering in the
agricultural regions from being realized.
Both in Prussia and Franco the women are
trained to work in the fields, and do not look
upon such toil as degrading. Particularly
is this the case in Prussia. Not only peasant
women, but those in the middle classes are
now gathering the harvests, guarding flocks
and performing other out-door labor. For
years women have been employed to a . con
siderable extent in Prussia as flagmen and
station agents on railways. Were it neces
sary, all the trains could doubtless be run by
women men acting as engineers.
Kf.ptbi.jc.an Duty. The Ilarrisburg
Telegraph says : Republicans should be up
and doing, for the fail canvass will involve
the highest interests of the State and nation.
It is of the first consequence to select the
ablest and best men for nominations in stl,
cases, and leave no room for chances. The
party, strong in its record and its principles
will be stronger by selecting none but its
best and most trustworthy men. It is no
time for divisions on mere local questions.
We have to meet an enemy full of devices
and little tricks, and never slow to avail itself
of any element of division, however small
in itsulf, to work mischief to the genfrkl
cause. The canvass will be an important
one in every sense, and Republicans should
take early steps to organize thoroughly for
victory. It is the lull and complete vote that
tells the story. -
The Census. The Pittsburg Chronicle
says the census is making terrible havoc
with the pretensions of cities. Cbica-ro,
which claimed 400.000 will probably reach
only about 2.50,000.and that Cincinnati, in
stead of 300.000, must content herself with
215,000. Further developments are being
made daily. San Franci'co, which bus bra-;-gedof
bar quarter million of people, has
only lii.'hJU. Oar.-ln. which has vaunted
its rapid growth into the twenty thousands,
has not more that 1.5,0:';). Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, has been nn therof the braggarts, but
is put down by the census to a modest 0,000.
Pittsburg, including its suburbs, has about
170.000, which comes within 10,000 of what
it claimed-
Where he Belongs. Morrow B. Lowry
(says the Lebanon Courier) is th candidate
of the Democrats for the State Senate in the

machinations for self, and he as naturally

There is trouble in the camp of the Democ -racy
in Schenck's district. It now appears
that Colonel Campbell, the Butler Pony, was
nominated by the whisky ring in the interest
of Val!andin;ha:n. to keep the latter worthy

Post replies : Certainly. That is.a way it

trouble with Democracy is that it seldom

THE FBENCH-FEUS3IAN WAE.
What is Doing. :
Paris, August 20. The Parisians are
still ignorant of the truth of the battle of
Rezonvilie. They believe in a French vic
tory. Th -y are acsuied that Bazaine was
the conqueror and that he has alieady been
successful in forming a junction with Mac
Mahon and the other Freuch forces at Cha
lons. With simplicity truly pitiable, they
say r.ot one of the Prussians will get out of
France: Bazaine has put them in a trap,
and typhus fever and dysentery are killing
fifty Prussians every day. Such is (he only
news allowed to circulate in the city. The
circulation of all foreign papers is rigorously
prevented. It is questionable whether a
popular uprisiug will take place, though
many expect one in a few days.
No one thinks of the Emperor. Trochu
governs and i privately preparing the way
for the return of the Orleans family to
Franco,
Carlsrche, August 21. Strasburg is in
flames. The French have fired the sur
rounding villages. They make frequent for
ties, which are constantly iepulsed. Eight
thousand Prussians have arrived with a
train of heavy siege artillery. The city is
surrounded by 30,000 men under Gen. v er
der. The inhabitants are demoralized, and
disorder everywhere prevails. Surrecder
is hourly expected.
The Crown Prince hai won another vie
tory in a great battle before Chalons. The
Prussians are victorious everywhere, and
the French defeat complete.
Poxt-a Mousson, August 21, via Lon
don. Prisoners still pour in. Last night
there arrived 2,000 privates and "6 officers ;
today more soldiers and fifty-fire officers
were brought in, among the latter Genera
Plimbcn. The loss of the French during
the week cannot be less than fifty thousand
killed, wounded and missing. At Coarsill
and Yienville and Gravelotte they are
known to have lost 16,000 in each battle,
including at the latter 4,000 prisoners.
Paris, August 21. It is rerorted that
late yesterday Marshal Bazaine made a very
important movement
London, August 21. King William's
dispatch dated nine o'clock Thursday even,
ing, was received in London to-night. It
completely confirms the Prussian accounts
of the previous battle of Thuisday. Ba
zaine's affirmation that he remained master
may have been partly true without dimin
ishing the extent of the French disaster.
What the French fought fur both Tuesday
and Thursday was a ehauce to letreat. It
wai doubtful yesterday whether Tuesday's
battle might not have left them in posses
sion of the northernmost road from Metz to
Verdun, or in position and lores strong
enough to renew the struggle for a pasta."!
to Verdun. If not utterly beaten Tuesday,
Bazaine was bound to renew the battle im
mediately, since Prussian reinforcements
were hourly coming up, . while to him no
'fresh strength could arrive. Nothing is
any longer in doubt. Instead of Bazaine
trying once more to cut his way through, it
was the Prussians who recommenced. '.'We
attacked the French," says King William,
"occupying a strong position west of Metz.
After nine hours' fighting, we completely
defeated them, cutoff their communications
with Paris, and drove them back upon
Metz." Such a blow is decisive, as . on
Tuesday the French were facing west and
the Prussians oast. Prince Frederick
Charles and Steinmelz lie across the road to
Paris, while between them and that city are
nothing but fresh levies, unorganized, and
the Garde Mobile ; which is mere raw ma
terial. The Crown 1'iince is still to be
heard from.
London, August 22. It is said Br-zaine
is absolutely cut off from his resources. The
Prussians are between him and Paris. Mac
Mahon is alio believed to be surrounded.
Convo3-s with Prussians have gone forward
to supply both armies. One hundred and
sixty thousand men have passed through
Paris to the front since Friday morning. It
is generally thought here, however, that the
Prussians cannot be checked.
Plymouth, Eno., Noon, August 23. A
French side wheel corvette has just captured
a Prussian bark off this port this morning.
Very many spectators gathered-on the beach
to witness the operation.
Paris, August 22. The destruction of
the Bois de Boulogne has commenced. A
large part, however, is not to be touched.
Only those portions near the wall of the
city will be cleared away. The ramparts
are 6trongly fortified with large cannons.
The forts are fully prepared, and.. the en
trances to the city may be closed at any mo
ment by drawbridges. It is reported that
in case of a siege all stranger will be com
pelled te leave.
HEAVY force moving on metz.
A special correspondent, writing from
nerny, the King's headquarters, on the
14th, says : The Ninth army corps, which
encamped there till this morning, has mov
ed on Metz. The Fourth corps, comprising
at least 208,000 men, are already near that
fortress. The orders of the King respecting
the inviolability of private property are
most stringently executed. In two cases
known to me the offenders have been exam
ined by the King's aid de camp and promp
tly punished.
TUB BATTLE OF THURSDAY AUGUST 16.
London", Tuesday. August 23. 1870.
One of the special correspondents of the
Tribune at Prussian Headquarters, tele
graphs from Pont-a-Moussoti, on the 17th
inst., the following account of the battle of
Tuesday, the ICth, and the preceding oper
ations: "The result of the action of Sunday was
that all the French troops threatened in the
rear retired from the cast side of Metz with
in the walls ; and on the left of the Moselle
it was not until the retreating French army
were hard pushed by a German division
that they brought up their reinforcements,
and were obliged to accept the alternative
o1 a battle. At a d'ntanee of from three to
five miles from Gorze were posted three
regiments of German cavalry, on the side
of a hill to their left, and in their rear were
eight or nine regiments of infantry, and a
regiment of artillery with fifteen batteries.
These troops belonged to the Third Army
Corps under Gen. Alvensleben. I here
were also a few regiments of huzzars and
lancers, and some battalions of infantry of
Tenth Army Corps.
"About 9 o'clock on the" morning of the
16th inst., the French made a dash at the
Germans and retired. The Wiehen Red
Huzzars alvanced over a crest of a hill, but
bad to retire from a hot fire of infantry and
artillery, leaving the prsund covered with
dead and wounded. The horses dashed
riderless over th field, which was quite
cpen. A heavy fire of artillery now com
menced on both sides, and the battle be
came desperate. The French kept up a
rapid fire from their chassepots, which told
severely. The clatter of small arms was
incessant, and intermingled with the long
boom of the batteries.
"From 2 till 6 p. in., 'the French resolute
ly resisted the advance of the Germans ; but
then they began to waver and retreat, keep
ing up a slow but incessant fire. They were
pursued by a regiment of lancers and the
Green Hussars of Magdeburg over Ste
idarie aux-Cheres and beyond St. Prierot,
and the latter village was burned.
"Tha scene on the field was one which
has seldom been equalled. Thirty miles of
ground were covered with dead and woun
ded of both sides. I counted 41 dead in
one little spot, including a major, pierced
through the head, who lay on his back,
sword in hand. The cannonade from the
German side and the rattle of the needle
guns were terrific. The defeat of the French
was total. Their long columns could be
seen pouring toward the north in the effort
to evade the German pursuit by the way of
Briey.
"The loss on both sides is immense. Ma
ny French prisoners were taken. The King
himself was personally attentive to the
French wounded. A French peasant, ta
ken while killing a wounded German, was
hanged at Gorze. rt Oof 1,000 inhabitants
of the neighborhood, scarcely any remained,
and there were only soldiers looking for
their regiments or trying to reach the head
quarters of the First Army Corps."
THE (SITUATION.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary reti
cence of the French Ministry concerning the
movements of Marshal MacMai'on, it seems
his whereabouts and intentions have been
fully known to the Prussian commanders
No sooner does be steal away from in front
of the Crown Prince in a deperate effort to
relieve Bazaine, than he finds himself con
fronted by anoiher formidable host. Sim
ultaneously with his departure from Rheims
for Mstz by way of Montmcdy and Thion
viile, a large Prussian army, supposed to be
that of the Prince Ro-al, Frederick Charles,
leaving General Von Steiumetz to take care
of Bazaine, takes its line of march to meet
him. On Thursday the advance guard o
both, armies appeared in the neighborhood
of Slcinay, a small town near the Belgisn
frontier, about ten miles W. S. W. of Mont-
med--, twenty five miles north of Verdun,
end fifty miles northwest of Metz. Here a
sharp engagetnet is said to have taken place
the same day. Thus it will be seen that in
avoiding one "Fritz" MacMahon has rushed
square into the embrace of another. A
dispatch from Sedan says : "According t"
all probability there will be an important
action near Montmedy before long." We
think it quite likely there will be. and
look for stirring news from that quarter im
mediately. The Crown Prince continues his grand
march to Paris, accompanied by Kin Wil
liam. His forces have been recently reor
ganized and reinforced, and it is announced
in Berlin that General Von Falkenstein is
moving to bis support with a strong force.
The entire command of the Prince cannot
number much less than 200,000 men, and
as Paris dispatches admit, it moves on ir
resistibly. Latest accounts received at the
present writing report Prussian scouts with
in fifty miles of the capital. General Trodiu
having assumed almost dictatorial powers,
is making prodigious efforts to put the city
in a state of defence capable of resisting a
violent attack, or withstanding a long siege.
This briefly is the situation. Another great
crisis is at hand. No one knows better
than General Von Moltke that delays are
dangerous. He is ready, and is about to
strike another blow, and such a one as will,
in all probability, make France tremble,
crush the Empire to atoms, and decide the
great conflict of 1870 in favor of Germany.
