New Yomg, Nov. 27.—Benator Bumner has submitted to the interviewera with & good grace, no less than three lengthy reports appearing to- day. Of President Thiers, Mr. Sumner says: I had several long conversations with him. My firsh visit we devoted to politics, others to art, printing, sculpture, and liberal studies. Of course, M. Thiers is .an mocomplished scholar’ of very rare sbility, L. Thiers speaks in a low, quiet, thoughtful ‘way; perhaps I cannot better describe his man- xer £o you than by calling it eminently kind, 1 Inow be has been called querrulous and petu~ lent oftentimes bi many correspondents, who perhaps coneidered that old age and courtesy were Incapable of aesociating 5 int if M, Thiers over justifies any of those aspersions, he must be & very different man on the floor of the Assembly from that- which he is in private. Iam glad to testify against these reports. Nothing more opposite and averso to petulance then M.

C., Nov. 27.—Baron Von Belbsser, the German_Ainister Resident here, has recelved information from his Government that, in consequence of the disturbed condition of political affairs in France, the German War Minister has issued strict orders to the proprie~ tors of all the German ships leaving the harbors on the coast of that country to at once increase the rates of fare to cmigrants lesving for any foreign country. The object of these orders, it was intimated, was to prevent an exodus of the arms-bearing population of North Ger- Tmany, the present threatening compli- cation of the political affairs of Russis, Austris, end particularly France. Accompanying these orders is B letter, which sets forth that the American sentiment in this action is fore- ehadowed by the statements of American resi- dents sbroad, who have beon made acquainted with this poliey, before it was prommlgated to the people. The wish is expressed in tie epis~ tle, that the American people may be made to eeo the necessity of this step, on the part of- the German Government, and that it may not be attributed to any falee motives with regard to the growth and expaneion of this country. ‘The advices to the German Minister repre- sent that the greatest excitement exists in T by reason of the action of the French Natiopal Assembly toward President Thiers. Whatever may be the termination of tlie present difficulties, the German Government considers thst it has no adequate fee in the direc- tion of peace. It is believed by Bismarck that the French Government is on the brink of revolution, and the only sbiding sentiment of the latter nation is one of revenge for that disgraceful contest, which ended in the downfall of the French Empire and the surren- dering of Alsace and Lorraine. The German Government believes that with the evacuation of French territory by the Germen troops, and with the grester portion of the German indemni- fund remaining unpaid, in the overthrow of ihe Thiers Government will come & wild ery of invasion of German territory. On behealf of these considerations; the German Government justifies its action in' arresting the farther pro- gress of emigration, which, in the past few years, has turned towards America with such increased 7igor. : The German Minister is very suxious as to the character of the reception which this news will meet with in this country, which is the most im~ ‘mediately interested therein. He himself is of the opinion that the French difficulties are Like- lytoresultina revolution, which cannot but be jnamicable to German interest, however dis- astrous it may prove to the French nation, and he farther th.u:&a tiat his Government is justi~ fied inits action in consideration of all the fore- going facts. ——— CANADA.

Special Despatch to The Chicatfo Tribune. Broourxarex, Ill, Nov. 26.—The celebrated case of The People, ex relatiue the Railroad Commissioners,-GustavEoemer, B. P. Morgan, Jr., snd David L. Hommond,—vs. The Chicago & Alton Railroad, was up in our Circuit Court this morning, on demurrer to defendant's plea. The proceeding is in. the nature of & quo war- ranto, the object being to determine the consti- tutionality of our railroad legislation under the provisions of our State Constitution, and to for- foit the chartered rights of the dofendant for violation of the laws lately passed regulating rates for freight, and prohibiting discriminations against communities along the line of the de- fondant’s road. The complaint alleges that the defondant, as a corporation, &e., charged citizens $5.65 per thousand for lumber from Chicsgo to Lexing- ton, & distance of 110 miles ; and charged con- signees in Bloomington, on lumber from Chi- cago, only 85 per thousand,—the distance be- tween the lattor points being 126 miles,—in vio- lation of law, &c. L The defendsnt admits the discrimination, and £nys that the freight to Lexington waa reason- ably Jow ; and that toBloomington ‘unreasonsbly low ; and that the latter rate was somade and edopted for the purpose of competing with the Tllinois Central Railroad in cu.fl'ging between Bloomington snd Chicago. The defendant also sets up its chartered rights, and the unconstitu- tionality of the acts of the Legislature in at- gggp'tliglg to. regulnte its rate of charges for ight. To the plen of defendant the People demurred; snd, this morning, Judge Tipton, of this circuit, in & lengthy and able apinion, sustained the de- ‘murrer, and the constitutionality of our railroad logislation,—holding that the People,in creating corporations, and vesting them with chartere Privileges, parted with nono of the sovereign Tights, which inhera in all Governments, to pro- toct itaelt and the governed from abuses, extor- fions, or unjust discriminations, on the part of its own crestures. His opinion will be published st longth. 3 { 'This casa is one of great importance, and will be carrted to the United States Bu£remo Court. Tponits decision by the highest judicial suthori ty in the Nation hang intorests of tho mdst vital character. Itis urged that tho State, under the Federal Constitution, cannot psss laws impair- ing the obligations of contracts; that the char- ters of railroad companies are contracts in that gonee ; and that the Btate authorities, in grant- ing corporate fifis 40 railroads, parted with the poer of controlling and managing them in the terests and for the benefit of the people. If certainly the the State has not such power, Gonersl Government has; and the growing enormities practiced by the wealthy railroad corporations in this “country—extorting tribute from the producer, discriminating sgainst localities, building and tearing down the trade of communitie loudly for the pro- tecting aym of the Government to shield the people from the exactions and abuses of orentl\n'es that exist only by the will of the people. o decision in point is s step in the right di- rection ; and, shonld the Higher Courte sustain it, we msy confidently expect; all the railroads in 1i8 Btate 10 swrrender their charters and organ- ize under the General Incorporation act; and furthermore, that the people will, in future, be better protected against oppression on the part of railroad monepolies than they have ever been heretofore.

At 4 p.m. s dis- maated vessel was sighted. A farioussquallhad just broken upon us, and the .sea was running mountains ln%h, to uso the popular expression. Nevertheless Captain Moulard immediately bore up for the wreck, which was making signals of distress, ordered out a life-boat, and called out for volunteers, Toa landsman it seemed like deliberate suicide to go out in such a storm, but our third and fourth officers and eight men an- swered tO tha call with a promptness that compelled ‘w cheer. oy car- ried a long line with them, several lifo-buoys, and & lighted lantern, for the atmosphera was mnrkflnhh the storm, and sunset was not far off.

Tt seoms that Mr. Pumpjerker, one of the nu- merous milk-dealers who snplily certain of our citizens with coloring material for their coffee and tes, was coming in from his dasiry with his hand-cart filled with milk-cans, and (owing to the eppihippic) drawn by two sorrel-headed hired men, one a young and spirited fellow who had ot been worked in harness but three days, and the other an_ older beast with windgall on his Toad, and blind in the off eye. Mr. Pumpjerker was pushing behind,not dreaming of danger, when just as the team turned from Brook street on to ‘ranklin they caught sight of several cows, and not being familiar with such Jooking animals, became affrighted and dashed off down Frank- lin strest at 8 fearful sate of specd, with their coat-tails in that horizontal position necessary for the enjoyment of the gmme of chequers, and their sosp locks fying in the breeze. The ‘hand-carb wes upset neer the corner of Waluut street, but the now thoroughly meddened team soon kicked themselves loose from the wreck, and, with the hG%s flapping about the calves of their legs, fl out on the Pleasant- yille ro: where they where stopped by & saloon-keeper, who held & couple of cack- tails in front of them. MIr. Pumpjerker’s loss wl::!k.lbmt $6, mostly for tinwere and wasted e Mlorrors of AROTHEER ACCIDENT. A Swede man, who was attached fo & red wheelberrow, while trotting dovn Spring street, yosterdsy fofenoon, becamo frightened at tho Joot of young man who was having . his boots blacked in frontof the American Hotel, and, before the by-standers comld stop him, ran ey st breakmeck specd towards Monroe street.

Hall's sewing machine rooms. At lastac- counts the frightened Swede ’had not been cap- tured, and it is thought he has returded to hus native land. 4 NOBLE ESPLOIT. e An old farmer cema to town yesterdsy drivin; his two sons, who areabout ten hands high, i white spots in their foreheads where their bats wear the i off, snd hitched = to a light lod with frost-bitten pumpkins, decayed n}:owmas,. stove-wood, and other lnxuries peculiar to this country, Both boys had been carefully groomel, and came gally prancing into town, when ‘ust as they B ers opposite the store of W.

A ?n ceman tried 1o stop thaim st the corner of Washington stres;, but his noise and gestures only frightencd thateam the more, and they turoed north up Washizgton street, leaving the wagon box anc hind waeels behind. School was just ont for noon, andthe path of the runawsys was filled with childen, and it seemned as if several lives mustbe lost, but at this juncture s noble and daricg livery Horse, who was_out with his throat in 8 sling, taking a wallk for his health, sy, ® seemingly _comprehending the situstion, and, though his throat was 8o sore he coald hardly “ whinner,” and his ankles 8o lams it ay with dificulty he walked, he mpuaged to T himself in front of the running_ mez, &0d seized them by the coat-tails with hia mouth, Sad succeeded in checling their career, but nok until the noble animal had been dragged sevoral rods.

Tho prompiness with which theso men cease orlk and go to meals in this case availed some- thing. ONLY ONE MORE. 2 Yesterday afternoon s gentleman who lives upon the Plessantville rosd hitched up his old ndfather, just ashe has twenty times since he horse disease visited this section, and drove 155 town £0 do & littlo marketing and shopping. The old man foundered abont forty years sgo wagon and, y pig sage ment Who Ii riding down Mertin by eating & warm meal on g Yy and it was nearly 4 o'clock before they yenched town, when the driver, MIr.

Xmprovement in Lace Manufacture. The manufacture of lace is carried to its high- est perfection in Belginm, and what is known a8 the Brussels has long enjoyed a world-wide repu- tation. The finest specimen of this kind of lace is 80 complicated as to require thelabor: of seven. ‘persons on one piece, and each operative is em- ployed at distinct features of the work. The thread is of exquisite fineness, which is spun in dark underground rooms, where it is sufliciently moist to prevent the thréad from soparating. 16 is 8o delicate as scarcely tobe seen, snd the room. i8 80 arranged that all Yight admitted shall fall pon the work. It is such material that renders the genuine Brussels so very costly. Ona piece of Valenciennes not two inches wide, from two o three hundred bobbing are sometimes used, and for the larger width as muny as 800 on the same pillow; the most valusble of this description of laco is determined by the number of timea the bobbins have been twisted in making the ground, as the more frequent tho twists the clearor and more besutiful is the fabric. Belgium annually sells of this lace to tho value of more thsn $4,000,000. Racently an ingenious improvement has been made in lace machinery, which consists in an &zrange- ‘ment of the hooks or needles 8o 88 to be capa- ble of working independently of each other, and operated by Jacquard patterns. cards. or cyliriders, with_the thread- all mount on oze bar. By mesns of this arrangement, the patterns can be yaried to a great extent, and the adyantage is gained of greater simplicity of operation. i NITRO-GLYCERINE.

The grourd was torn up hundreds of feet aronnd. first-class earthquake could not have created greater hayoo. “Every pane of glass in houses for miles around was shattered, and the inmates were terrified. The explosion was heard in White Plains, Tarrytown; Tremont, }Vuhmgton Heights, and even oyer in New ersey. Workmen from the railroad hurried to the scene, well knowing what had happened. They found Terry and Donnolly with their clothing stripped from their bodies, lying about two hun- dred feet from the scene of the explosion, oaning in sgony. Donnolly's body was badly acerated.

The body, minus the arms and head, lay about fifty feet from tho legs. The scalp and face, without the skull, were found in another place. The arms were shattered, and only portions were found. The skull is still missing, = Cnp!iin Mangin, of the Yonkers police, was soon on the spot, and took charge of the wound- edmen. They were taken to St. Jobn's River- Fide Hospital. Donnolly is insensible snd will not recover. Terry wza too badly injured to ive a full and detailed scconnt of the explosion st night. The excitement in Yonkers, nd in fact throughout the entire neighborhood, was ter- rific, Al sorts of copjectures were adyanced as to the explosion. Some insisted that Hell Gste ‘had been broken up, while others thought there hed been an earthqueke. The superstitious fell on their knees in prayer. The irreverent trem- ‘bled with fear, but everybody anxiously inquired what ths matter was. One old lady im the guburbs of Bronxville was in her yard when & plece of the fence with the word “ Danger ” fell 3t her feet, and she fainted on the spot.
