Poot dade de Adver A 4—E4itor ort Anne S—The War: SMarbruck Leading Article on the Movement y elegiaphic News—Anusement Report of the Battle of erlal Receives “Its EW YORK HERALD The Movemeats of the War. The news of a fight between the French and Prussians at Saarbruck, and the occupation of that position by the French, bring us nearer to a grand approaching conflict between the contending hosts. The news which we receive is neither very reliable nor very intelligible. But then it must be remembered that it comes from two hostile sources, Berlin has her account and Paris has hers, and they are invariably contradictory. Hence, in this affair at Saarbruck on Tuesday the Paris despatch says that the French took the Prus- sian position in a battle of two hours’ duration, in which the Emperor and his son were pre- sent. The Prussian story is briefly that the French attacked the fortifications at Saar- bruck and were repulsed. Of course there is no possibility of reconciling these two accounts. A despatch from London yesterday, however, states the case more definitely. It says: ut eleven o'clock yesterday fore- euch passed the fronuer in force. ‘The Prussians were driven from ther strong position by the sharp artillery tire of the Frenet. ‘The latter remained masters of the position, which they won without serious loss, ‘The Emperor and the Prince Impertal witnessed tue conmict and revarned to Meta to dinner, Much, therefore, is left to conjectures, 50 vague concerning the actual movements in de- tail of either army as to render any specula- tion merely useless. Correspondents, be it remembered, are exiled from the lines of both armies, so that we are deprived of the valua- ble services of the press, the only medium through which we might hope for a truthful statement of events. Marshal Bazaine’s troops were engaged in a sharp skirmish with Prussians yesterday. Paris accounts say that his men were successful. It is alleged that there has been a naval engage- ment in the Baltic, and that the French vessels of war captured two Prussian gunboats. Prus- sia has ordered a levy en masse of the nation of coast defence. Affairs at the front ave evidently becoming warm, The repeated skirmishes and assaults on and over the frontiers which have been going on for some days are but the avants courriers of a grand battle. Of this there can be no doubt. Massive hosts do not fling themselves against each other at a signal like mailed war- riors in the Homeric times. The Ajax and Hector of our day have more than their armor to carry and heavier weapons than spear or for purpos | sword to wield. Thought, caution and the measurement of forces, which must be tested by feeling the position, the strength and the disposition of the enemy, precede a fierce battle, All these have marked the circum- stances on the French and Prussian frontier forthe past week.

Homeva—The news by the cable that the pervices of General Lee and General Beaure- gard, offered to France in this war with Prus- @ia, have been declined.

The solemnity with which Napoleon, in his address to the army, and King William in his address to the German nation, intimated that the war would bea bard and a long one, prepares us for the | most terrible conflict that Europe has ever witnessed; for it will be « struggle for national existence between the two greatest and best prepared countries in the world.

Asa general thing it will be found that political papers supported by official pabulum are either losing concerns or are so weak and puerile intellectually as to be without influence or benefit to the party they are supposed to rep- resent, Such papers are merely advertising andbills for the uses of corrupt political schemers, snd soon become more serviceable in country groceries for wrapping paper than at the home fireside or in public reading rooms, Judicious enterprise, and a broad, liberal and independent management of newspapers insure their pecuniary success give them influence in political as well as in all other circles.

The Mexican people must have some sort of a revolution to amuse them, and Negrete, being an excellent caterer in that respect, had be- come such a favorite that his arrest caused un- usnal indignation.

He held on to Negrete, however, and probably will until some other caterer to public amusement makes a hit for ‘God and liberty” in another part of the republic. The Murder Mystery. The dark tragedy of Twenty-third street remains as yet incomplete, and the blood of the murdered victim still cries aloud in the streets and on the highways for the detection of his cruel assassin. In spite of the soothing and confusing process which has been so dili- gently but so weakly applied in quarters where only the high and honorable mission ot journalism should have been recognized, the public mind is more keenly alive to the neces- sity of detecting and~ punishing the murderer than it was even while the first thrill of horror rested upon it. Moreover, we are gratified beyond measure to learn that the energy and acumen of Superintendent Jourdan ‘and his assistants are inflexibly bent upon the faithful and early accomplishment of the great task that has devolved upon them, They fave at heart the interests of the community, the resistless claim of humanity and the honor of their cloth, and if all that reaches us be true the hand of justice is, while we write, within a hair's breadth of the culprit’s neck. The true and able men of the police have not been deterred for one moment from the right track, and although in the hurry and confusion of the first alarm some essential precautions were overlooked, the main body of facts has been thrown out upon the surface and fixed there with the brilliance of a photo- graphic picture and the sharp precision of the sculptor’s most exquisite art. “A guilty conscience is like a whirlpool drawing in all to itself that would otherwise pass by,” and we have reason to believe that conscience, aided by detective skill, is doing its inevitanle work. Yesterday, of course, as on all the preceding days, there were organs of publicity which denied and accused with equal dogmatism and recklessness. This journal has confined itself to recalling the history, in brief, of celebrated cases and expressing the hopes and wishes of the public for the elucidation of the bloody problem thus abruptly flung in ourteeth. We have reminded the officers of the law and all others that there are to be no halting, no favor and no distinction inthe relentless search now demanded ; that they are to be on the alert against false scents and the arrogance of name and position; that cajolery and menace are alike to be disregarded, as the press totally disregards them, and that the fair fame of our city and the safety of its citizens are pro- foundly involved. These requirements our enlightened Superintendent and his corps of arsistants seem fully to recognize, and, not- withstanding the remarkable delay that has preceded the continuation of the inquest, we are assured that the crucial test will be applied to all the witnesses summoned to-day in a manner that will leave little to be desired. Many keen eyes and searching intellects will follow the testimony rendered, syllable by syllable, and the measures taken, step by step. There must be no jumble of numbers and figures with regard to houses visited and watches purchased, lost or found; we will not take account of any haphazard narratives of what was seen or not seen by sleepy people from drowsy windows ata dull hour, across the street; and cock-and-bull stories from that e of wonders and refage of lost run- aways who never are found—-Philadelphia— will receive just the credit they deserve and no more, The labors of the past few days have gone for naught or within a very brief space of time, indeed, the grasp of the law will be laid upon the shoulders of the guilty with that fateful and decisive utterance which conviction imparts and from which there is no escape—‘‘Thou art the man!” The Census. The returns of the assistant marshals which have already been received at Wasiington indicate that the new census will be completed by the Ist of September. ‘ihe publication of this vast collection of facts relative to the phy- sical, social, political, financial, intellectual and moral condition of the United States of America cannot fail to make a sensation throughout the world. Since the last census, in 1860, a vast revolution has been accom- plished, the results of which, in all their variety and importance, will now for the first time be fully and officially revealed. The con- trast between the earliest census ever made in this country and the one about to be com- pleted will be full of startling inte- rest, even to those most familiar with the marvellous progress of our republic. {tis highly imporiant that the utmost accu- racy in recording and the highest skill in arranging the facts to be collected should be aimed at by the assistant marshals. Not only will politicians scan with eagerness the indi- cations of the census as to the prospective apportionment of representation in Congress, but scientific men everywhere will expec| to find In it data that may throw a flood of light on the great problems of the age, Every patriotic American will discover in the new cengua illustrations of the actual growth and signs of the future glory of a nation which bas taken, since the close of our late civil war, afresh point of departure, and which is girding itself tor a career of unprecedented prosperity and grandeur.

The reports are denied, and we hope they are not { true.

Hence, with a unanimity in this Franco-Prussian war which would otherwise be inexplicable, we find the Irish element in every quarter of the globe, as, by a sort of spontaneous combus- tion, firing up for France. Irishmen every- where are seized with some idea that the pre- sent difficulty of England in reference to the Continental war will almost certainly bring about ‘‘Ireland’s opportunity.” The imposing popular demonstrations which have already taken place in Dublin and other cities in fre- land in behalf of France have been the expres- sion of the universal sympathy of the Irish race in America. The French sympathy demonstration of the 20th ult, in Dublin was a very remarkable affair, There was no public notice given of it; it wasa public surprise party, and yet there was a gathering of many thou- sands of men and some thirty bands of music in the procession a8 it set- tled round the residence of the French Consul. There was a small riot, too, when the local police proceeded to take away from the procession a new flag blending the national colors of Ireland and France. Doubtless, too, with any encouragement from the leaders of this sympathy meeting, serious consequences to life and property would have followed ; but as it appears after the general gathering was scat- tered by the poiice some hundreds of the populace rallied at Beresford place, where they were addressed by Mr. P. J. Smythe, and advised to ‘‘retire in peace,” and that ‘this exhortation, so soothing to their feelings, was quickly obeyed.” He had spoken their senti- ments in favor of France and Ireland—for “France, the protector of the oppressed, and Ireland, the Poland of the West.” He had said that ‘we remember '98, when the cry in Wexford was, ‘Kill a Hessian for yourself ;’” and that ‘Ireland repudiates the foul language of the English press and that freland is a dis- tinct nation; and such was the soothing exhortation which dispersed this remnant of the meeting without further proceedings of vio- lence. Other detachments, especially the bands, suffered considerably from their col- lisions with the police ; but still this populous outpouring in Dublin, as an Irish manifesta- tion, is suggestive of nothing less than a general rebellion in Ireland the moment Eng- land becomes actively involved in the difficulty of Prussia with France. As in a conflict between the Germanic and Celtic races, the natural position of Ireland and Irishmen in this war is on the side of France; as a conflict between the Saxon oppressor and the Celtic ally of Ireland, this war naturally draws the Irishman to the cause of Francc; and as between Catholic France and Protestant Prussia the Irish Catholic would hold himself a traitor to his faith to side with the German, Yet all other consid- erations with the overwhelining national party of Irishmen, in Ireland and ont of Ireland, are merged in the predominant idea of seizing any and every occasion which looks to Ireland’s liberation. As against England, therefore, the universal Irish sentiment of the United States in this war is In favor of France, what- ever the disposition of Rome and of the Pope by Napoleon. The political influence, then, of our trish Americans, “considering their power in the detaocratic party, will, most likely, if this European war goes on even a month or two longer, determine the democratic party itself to speak in favorof France. Some of its most active newspaper organs have already taken this side in the contest, and, doubtless, in view of holding intact the important trish element the party. But what of the Germans and the German democrats? This question suggesis a serious democratic difficulty ; for, togo no further, the German democrats of this city probably hold the balance of power, in city and State, as between the democratic and republican parties, Supposing, then, that [ngland is drawn into this Continental war, will not the immediate effect here be such a préssure from the Irish democrats as to compel the democratic party to speak out for France, and against the administration as sympathizing with Prussia and England? We think that such may be the effect of ‘“‘England’s difficulty” and ‘‘Ire- of himself busy in Cincinnati on the subject of land’s opportunity.” What, thea? Why then our German democrats, en masse, will range themselves on the side of the republican party and the administration. Even now there are signs which cannot be mistaken of this politi- cal separation between our Lrish and German born citizens; and with Sigel as the republican candidate for Governor this fall, and as the representative of ‘Fatherland’ against the Bonapartes, who can doubt what will be the vote of every German voter in the State? Every man of them will vote for Sigel. This thing may come to pass, General Grant’s administration stands already accused of deliberately and for political effect sympa- thizing with Prussia and the Germans. The republican party leans to the side of Prussia as plainly as we see tho democracy inclining to France. The republicaus have mych to hold and something to gain from their sympa- thy, while the democrats from theirs may lose the city and State of New York in the coming fall election. The question bangs, perhaps, apon England. Should sbe be drawn into this Franco-Prussian war—as from present appear- ances she wili be—our democratic party, by the powerful Irich element thereof, will ve { drawn iuto « manifesto for France, while Eng- land, conseating to our ultimatum on those Alabama claims, and otherwise taking care to cultivate peace and good will with our govern- ment, will hardly shake the republican party as the friends of Prussia and the Germans. This view of the subject we commend to the | consideration of such of our democratic organs as are dispoved to be a little too noisy as ad- vocates of the cause of France; for in this everywhere, like the contest the Germans Trish, are a uni Our Speci, War Drsratosxs, by mail, from Europe published to-day are of great im- portance as indicating what extensive and alarming proportions the great war between France and Prussia may eventually assume. The vast naval preparations of England are completely confirmatory of the views of our avecial writers. LL” The Ltalian Questions. While men’s minds are filled with the Franco-Prussian struggle it is not unnatural that we should all be more or less forgetful of the question which is mysteriously being set- tled at Rome. In the estimation of many the Roman question is the biggest question which the civilized world has to settle. Sis cer- tainly a question of some importance whether France or Prussia is the stronger Power. It is not a question whether France or Prussia will dominate Europe; because neither can. But it isa question whether the Pope can any longer retain his position as a tem- poral prince, If the soldiers of Victor Emanuel are henceforth to garrison Rome how can the Pope any longer be a temporal prince? Let us suppose that the last French soldier has left the Holy City, und that the men who made an end of Naples and who fought at Mentana constitute the Roman garrison, how is it possible for Italy to be satisfied until Rome is proclaimed the capital of the Italian kingdom? We are not in possession of the treaty which has been concluded between Victor Emanuel and Napoleon; bat we feel Satisfied that Victor Emanuel bas pledged himself to preserve the integrity of the Pope's ~ domains. Can he? Let us suppose that the party of action insists that the nation ig not bound by any such treaty, that the tims has come at fast for ftaly to throw off the yoke of France and to pro- claim to the world that she is mistress of her own destinies. What then? Is it impossible that, while Prussia is taxing all the strength of France, the party of action in Italy, joined by the republicans in Spain and encouraged by the “‘irreconcilables” in France may give an entirely new phase to the Latin race question ? A cable despatch which we print this morning shows that the ‘‘irreconcileables” in France have not given up all hope. An insurrection in Italy, an insurection in Spain, an insurrec- tion in France, the Holy Father put to flight, would be funny accompaniments of the war now begun. Has not Napoleon attempted too much? Is he not twenty years too old to play the tricks of his gifted but unprincipled uncle? Is not the world too old to tolerate such tricks? The evacuation of Rome by the French is the biggest fact of the hour. The St. Vomingo Annexation] Question in Dominica. We find from fate advices from St. Domingo that the Dominicans are still somewhat excited over the failure of the United States Congress to ratify the annexation treaty. So confident were they that the treaty would be successful that, notwithstanding the plottings and con- spiracies of those who desired the defeat of the measure, they looked hopefully forward to the action of the United States Congress, When, however, it was realized that the treaty was defeated, the Dominicans felt sore indeed. Looking with anxious hope to that prosperity which annexation was sure to bring, they felt as if their country received an unlooked-for blow. Yet we hope} that the Dominicans will console themselves | with the hope that the measure is not et trievably lost. The question will again b: brought up before Congress, and we may’ expect better results. The people of this country feel satisfied with President Grant’s policy in regard to territorial acquisition in the West Indies. That he has the support of the people with him in his desire to secure so desirable an acquisition as St. Domingo our representatives will no doubt learn, now that they have an opportunity to ascertain the views of their constituents. We hope on this subject, as well as on others, the session of the next Congress will present a betier record than the past. The Nerth Carolina To-Day. The lawlessness and other abominations that have prevailed in North Carolina for some time past reach a focus to-day in the election for members of Congress and State officers. Our correspondents have already given full details of the anomalous condition of things in the State, together with deacrip- tions of the candidates and other par- ticulars: therefore further comments at at this time are superfluous, But the result of the election to-day will be re- garded with some curiosity, as showing how the experiment of declaring certain parts of a State in a condition of insurrection may work inview of the political advantages that may accrue to the party that makes such a declara- tion. Governor Holden has the merit—if any merit be attached to the operation—of allying the bullet to the ballot in a time of general peace, and it will be uo wonder if the polls in North Carolina be a little too much ‘pro- tected” to-day to allow a full and fair expres- sion of public sentiment. The republicans will, therefore, probably carry their State ticket and elect most of their candidates for Congress, including one negro. But, which- ever way the State goes, for heaven's sake let the reign of terrorism and bloodthirstiness in the name, but in defiauce of the law, cease forever. eal A REMARKABLE Ciancr,—A colored clergy- man has returaed to Maryland after suffering five years’ imprisonment and sentenced to ‘“‘per- petual banishment from the United States (a slight stretch of power, by the way, by the authorities of Maryland), for having in his pos- session in 1857 a copy ef a work called “Uncle ‘Tom's Cabin.” There is a good chance now for his holding a seat in Congress, What a marvel- lous change « few years have wrought in the political condition of the colored race ! { i GRIME IN LONG ISLAND CITY, Capture of Three Alleged Burglars.

Yesterday Mr. Ryan received information which led him to cause the arrest of Join Loughran, Richard Class and Richard Cumminsky, and they were committed to the Astoria cells by Justice McKenna, to await trial on a charge of burglary.
