We regret to say that the telegraphic intel- ligence from Europe does not tend to strengthen the hopes of an armistice and treaty of peace between France and Germany. No definite statement has yet been ventured on of the willingness of the King of Prussia to propose or accept terms, until, by ‘the capture and occupation of Paris, he shall be.in a condition to dictate them from the Tuileries. That is the Prussian programme, and we see no pros- pect of its being departed from. The repub- lican government of France evinces the most anxious desire for the restoration of peace, and appeals, but apparently in vain, to the other neutral Powers of Europe to step in and mediate. M. Thiers, the most respected public man in France, arrived in London yesterday, on a mission to the English govern- ment, and is reported to have been in con- sultation with Earl Granville, the British Secretary of Foreign Affhirs, who came specially to London to meethim. M. Thiers is represented as giving out that he knows nothing of the republic in France, but that he is deputed by the Committee of National Defence—a somewhat remark- able statement, if true. He is au- thorized, it seems, to. submit-a plan of peace to the English Cabinet and to solicit the intervention of that government to have the plan adopted by France and Germany. The programme is said to embrace three points— | first, pecuniary indemnity to Germany; sec- ond, destruction of the fortresses in Alsace and Lorraine, and, third, the temporary eccu- pation by the Germans of the fortresses of Metz and Strasbourg until after a general elec- tion in France has duly authorized the ratifica- j tion of the treaty of peace by the constituted . = NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1870,—TRIPLE possibly desirous of s judicial decision adjudg- | The Leeses and the Gains of France. ing them insane enough to commit murder If the losses of France by the war have with impunity, The Seaverns tragedy is| been heavy and disastrous her gains have fresh in the public memory, and now comes | been and will be great and enduring.

This is well enough for a government which only does what it must do, and that has an amiable desire not to shock anybody; and though it will not thus please the revolutionary party its action will be accepted as satisfac- tory by the great mass of the Italian people, who do not the less adhere to their religion be- cause they do not want its priests to be dis- turbed with the disiracting cares of State. But how will it suit the Pope? Not in the least. He will not accept any arrangement save under pressure of necessity. He will not for- mally resign his claim as a temporal sovereign. Should he go to some other Gaeta he will have to wait long for the coming of the power that will restore him to his throne. An abandon- ment of Rome now would be far more momen- and the respect even of her monarchical enemies, This is an encouraging beginning, and strongly justifies the opinion that the French republic henceforward will be free from the vicious and ruinous excesses which converted the revolution of 1789 intoa Reign of Terror and diabolisms, and free from the follies and imbecilities of the revolution of 1848, which invited the coup d'état of Louis Napoleon. We have no fear that the French republic of 1870 will revive the guillotine for the extermination of the aristocracy, or set up again the Goddess of Reason in mockery of Christianity. Nor do we apprehend that the third republic, like the first, will send out its armies, right and left, ‘‘to run a muck” for “liberty, equality and fraternity ;” or that, like the empire, it will undertake again for France the dangerous office of regulating the boundaries of other States or the line of suc- cession to its neighbors.

The Court of Appeals can hardly overrule the decisions under the circumstances; for it is an actual fact that the only defence made in one of the cases—and the test one at that— was that the defendant, who was charged with wilfully losing the returns of the Six- teenth ward, was s0 overcome by the strains of a fiddle which a strolling player came into his office to play that he forgot all about the returns and went away, following the music, without them. The defence was evidently a burlesque, and the defendant evidently con- sidered the trial no better. It is to be pre- sumed, however, that he now thinks it a very effecting drama. . ea { j of Paris; | to relieve the capital. Blanc, in a newspaper article the other day, goes so far as to propose that the question of “Under which King, Bezonian?” shall be sub- mitted to, and finally decided by, the people of those two provinces. As we indicated, how- ever, in the opening of this article, the pros- pects for peace are not very cheering, and the siege of Paris will probably have to be carried on, with all its carnage and horror. There is litle new to be said in regard to the movements of the armies. The Germans are expected to be in position to-day in front tous than was the same act in 1848.

Purpose with the view of saving it from destruction. The investing army ia snp- posed to number four hundred thousand men, | which, probably, exceeds by one hundred thou- | sand the force inside the walls and fortresses. We have no positive information as to whether armies are being raised by France in the great cities and departments that are free from invasion, but we cannot suppose that the mili- tary spirit of the nation is eo paralyzed as to permit Paris to be invested without the reat of the country making a grand and heroic effort We are also in sus- pense as to the fate of Metz, Strasbourg, Toul, Verdun, Soissons and the other besieged places, not being inclined to place much credit in the rumor of the capitulation of Metz and the consequent surrender of Bazaine’s army. As to the prediction that Strasbourg will capitulate soon, that is of a piece with much of the nonsense which the telegraph brings. It is staled that the French fleets in the Baltic and North Seas, blockading the German ports, are withdrawing and returning home, the crews having cheerfully accepted the repub- lic, and Fourichon, the Admiral of the squad- ron, baving accepted the appointment of Naval Minister under the new .government. The blockade does not appear at aay time to hay been very effective, and it will pr ly cease altogether very soon. In the meantime the people of Paris are sternly preparing for the evil days that threaten to come upon them. It is said that the approach of thy Germans seems only to arouse the military ardor of the Parisians and that a defence will be made worthy of the miliiary renown of France, Great reliance is placed on General Trochu, and he will doubt- less prove himself entirely deserving of it. The Paris correspondent of the London Post reporis that all hopes for a sus- pension of hostilities have been abandoned by the officials and the people of Paris; and an edict has been issued by the proper authorities absolutely prohibiting any person leaving the city after six o'clock to-morrow morning. In an interview which one of our cor- respondents had with Victor Hugo in Paris on Monday last, as related in our despatches, the returned exile expressed the most poignant grief at the calamities brought upon the country by the crime and incompetency of Napoleon, referred gratefully to the articles in ; the New York Heratp appealing to the Ger- mans to agree to an honorable peace, and made a fervent appeal to the United States— the home of so many Germans and French— to make an earaest Christian effort to extin- guish the horrid torch of war. Nothing could afford the people and government of the United States such profound gratification as to be instrumental in restoring peace; and we again urge upon Mr. Washburne to exert him- self to the utmos: ia that direction. Although the King of Prussia appears to be obstinately set upon the siege of Paris, some opportuni- ties may arise for mediation, and we trust they will not be neglected either by our own Minis- ter or by the ministers of the other neutral Powers. At present, hewever, the baleful star of war seems to be in the ascendant. Turre ARE Certainty Too MANY INSANE amen loose on the streets, intent on murder, and in Paria. It is’ therefore perilous for the Pope to leave his capital, so far as relates to the possibility of his ever returning, and of course perilous for bim to stay, so far as relates to his tem- poral independence. What can he do? Itis reported that Victor Emanuel’s government will propose to him to make Rome the stake of a game of plebiscitum, This, if accepted, would be a very impotent conclusion, for the King would simply bargain without his host. It is not the people of Rome that are to be considered in this matter, but the people of Italy. It is the nation that wants the city, and it would not stop even if it knew that the gentiment of the city were against it, though it in all probability is not. Pius the Ninth | will not go into an election in which, even if he won, his success would be wrested from ' him by a third party outside; and the King | will not commit himself to a possible abandon- ment of Rome in circumstances that wouid invite the formation of the republic, to preve which he now crosses the frontier. It i what Italy must do, but difficult to see wh his infallibility will drift. Queen Isapetta Leaves France.—‘‘Isa- bella la Catolica,” late Queen of Spain, las | left the uncongenial atmosphere of the French | republic for the more agreeable air of the king- | dom of Bavaria. She does not endorse the H French republic. A republic in France means | a republic in Spain, and this is not her pro- | gramme. She abdicated the Spanish throne, and all her right, title and interest thereia, not in favor of a republic, which she holds only as another term for anarchy and heresy, but in favor of her son, the Prince of Astu- rias, and she had looked to Napoleon the Third to see this Prince established in the Escurial. She may, perhaps, now entertain the hope that King William, through the diplomacy of Bismarck, may get an Orleans prince on the throne of France, and thus open the door to a restoration in Spain; but, at all events, Isabella in her departure from France shows that she has no confidence and no interest in the new French republic. Nor does she go to Italy; for there are strong symptoms of a coming republic in that quar- ter. She has gone to Bavaria, and in good time we may hear of her at Berlin in confer- ence with the Hohenzollerns. Who knows? THE Troupies IN WINNIPEG have not} ended. The troops which were welcomed by the people as the tranquilizers of the troubled territory have commenced arresting every one connected with the original revolution, enter- ing Fort Garry in the order of battle, as ifa heavy force of revolutionists were arrayed against them, and proceeding generally | as if there had been no compromise agreed upon between the New Do- minion and Winnipeg, and no guarantees given the Winnipeg commissioners that a gen- eral amnesty would be granted and every rebel—even Riel himself—should be par- doned. We do not often hear of such perfidy outside of the annals of savage warfare. It is only among the Sepoys that the Canadian offshoot of England could have learned such ingenious measures. It must be remembered, too, that the United States government was victimized by this deception, for it was only | who vanities of bloodshed and military glory to the loftier achievements and enterprises of art and science in the ways of peace. We entertain the hope that after this sanguinary war a new reign of peace will dawn upon the earth, and 1n France us a republic, under this new dis- pensation, there is the promise of a career of prosperity and glory which will throw into the shade, as among the crimes upon humanity of an age of barbarism, all the bloody achieve- ments of the past, from the greatest of the Bourbons to the last of the Bonapartes. We have assumed that the republic will be maintained. Bat is this thing certain? We cannot tell. The issue is mainly in the hands of the King of Prussia, and he is not a repub- lican nor a believer in French republics. But come whai may, we still hold to our conclu- the losses of France from this war a bagatelle compared with her a her new career of experience and wisdom. Minyor and the Census. hears the opinions of many people c from positive knowledge within heir owa spbere, that the census has been whe | very imperfectly taken, and he proposes, as an experiment, that several districts shall be taken to see how the result tallies with the published results of the United States census. Itis an excellent proposition, and should be acted upon. It is, however, declared by the Pharisees of radical journalism in this city that the Mayor thus reflects on the honesty of Marshal Sharpe or somebody else. We do not see this; but suppose he does? It is a standing rule with the radical press to assume, as the basis of all they may say of their opponents, that every democrat, high or low, rich or poor, is a rogue, a robber, a filcher of valuables, and a man generally affiliated with thieves and cutthroats. If, now, any demo- crat follows this example of the virtuous, and implies that a republican may be dishonest, we shall not insist that he be hooted in the streets for it. But from our point of view the Mayor makes no such implication. He only touches upon what is notorious—that the subordinates, through ignorance, negligence, or for any other reason, have not done their duty, well, and he proposes a test. We ought to have one. if Tue Democratic MuppLe Iv GEORGIA.— Every mail brings us protests from the Georgia democratic press against Judge Stephens’ movement in favor of nominating ineligible candidates for Congress. We give in our politi- cal column an extract showing the sentiment of at least a portion of the people in regard to Judge Stephens’ unfortunate error. As is stated, there are plenty of worthy men who are free from disabilities and capable of repre- senting the State in the halls of Congress SHEET, Order Reigus at Paris. offman and the Germans. Fall justice has never been done to the The clement appears to go strong orderly spirit which the people of Paris have often manifested at eventful crises in their history. Their self-control has more than once been even sublime, confounding and put- ting to shame the unthinking parrots who are |: fond of repeating the old, commonplace false- hood that the French are incapable of self- government. In 1848 no devastation of any kind took place during the long popular inva- sion of the Hotel de Ville. Not a single object of value disappeared. A colossal bust of Louis Philippe was the only thing injured. The precaution of M. Flotard in causing the wine casks in the cellars to be staved was almost superfluous. History has recorded to the eternal honor of the people of Paris that not one act of personal violence was commit- ted and no private property was menaced during the prolonged period between the downfall of monarchical and the estab- lishment of republican power. Madame d’Agoult, one of the best historians of the republic of 1848, testifies traly that, « notwith- standing the impure fermentation which always accompanies an uprising of the masses, generosity, gentleness, or naif enthusiasm of fraternity, a proud disinterestedness, a deli- cate courtesy, constituted the vengeance of this people, so justly exasperated, upon those who had forgotten or calumniated their misery. Nevertheless they had been excited during the combat by fanatics, by conspirators, by men familiar with the theory of political assassination, More than one sub- altern Marat had already whispered to them in the dark his sanguinary inspirations. But even the delirium of this people in arms, abandoned to their own impulses, in the in- toxication of victory, betrayed only the secret of their grandeur. The ideal of the republic, so long hidden, buried in their bosoms with passionate jealousy, came forth pure. The first words which a poet addressed in the name of this republican people to France and to the world were words of peace and concord. In the actual crisis the people of Paris display the same magnanimity, volunteering not only to defend the fortifications against Prussian invaders, but also to aid General Trochu and the provisional government in maintaining order within the city. The only serious émeute which a few conspirators have succeeded in starting was promptly suppressed as much by the popular indignation as by the energy of the police. The large number of escaped criminals who lurk in Paris, com- posing by far the greatest proportion of its , dangerous classes, and the members of the secret clubs, are alike under the strict sur- veillance both of the people and the authori- ties. The order which reigns at Paris is highly encouraging for the prospects of the new republic. Party Tricks in Wyoming. In the recent election in Wyoming, wherein the vote of the women secured a republican delegate to Congress over the present demo- cratic incumbent, it appears that two women, running for minor offices—one for county clerk and the other forschool superin- tendent of Laramie county—were defeated. This ill treatment of their own aspiring sex is enough to condemn the whole female party in Wyoming. The defeat may have been occa- sioned by the treachery of their republican allies, who, although having no hesitation, doubtless, in accepting their aid to overcome the common democratic enemy, may yet have gone back on them when the women candidates were to be voted for. If such is the case it ought to teach the women politicians to study politics more closely, to learn the wily and overreach- ing manoeuvres which each party practises upon the other when it can, and to provide against them or play them back upon the opponent. If they propose to purify politics they must be careful not to enter the ring in too flabby a condition. They must train for the fight, or the hardy old pugilists of suffrage—those horrid men—will demoralize them entirely out of time at the first round. We incline to the opinion that the designing leaders of the party with which they allied themselves played upon them in the present j instance, as that ‘heathen Chinee” played upon Nye. For, notwithstanding Lady Mary Wortley Montague’s idea that women do not love each other, we cannot believe that the women of Wyoming could, out of pure spite, have voted against these women for office. Tue Loss or tHe Caprain.—The British press are calling for an investigation as to the cause of the iron ship Captain being wrecked off Cape Finisterre. The Shipping Gazette demands to know the reason why one of the stanchest vessels afloat should founder in weather which a collier might have outlived. We fancy that the investigation will prove the unfortunate Captain not to have been ‘‘one of the stanchest vessels afloat,” and herein lay the cause of the disaster. She was evidently constructed with a view to resist danger from hostile batteries, without sufficient consideration for hostile gales of wind or heavy seas. Asa floating battery she might have been a grand success, operating in shal- low waters, but she was evidently not suited to stand heavy weather. She stood the gale er oe of the Fourteenth Assembly ata late meeting passed a series of resolutions, one of which Governor Hoffman for re-election, as follows:-— “Resolved, That our old friend, whe, ss Recorder, mingled sternness with clemency who, as Mayor, challenged all criticlam, and as Governor, drew upon him the admiration this ahd all other the that this, our old and re-elected to holds with | ff States of I friend, be the high pesition he such the radicals to catch the German vote by premature expression of sympathy with the Prassian cause is not likely to effect as as they expected in the coming election. Gor- man sentiment has changed’ since it has: be- come manifest that it is a free republic and not a despotic imperialism that the King of Prussia is fighting; that jt is the liberty ofthe bait and will not allure any fish to the hook. Meantime it must be observed that the Ger- mans are decidedly in favor of Hoffiran for next Governor, and that in some cases they even indicate a nomination for the highest place in the gift of the people. ‘The Shovel Murder. The wanton murder of an inoffensive citizen on First avenue on Monday is a warning to us all, and conveys a disagreeable sugges- tion that any of us may be kaocked over the head with a shovel by a drunken rowdy at any time of the day. It does not require a man to go into “rough” society or expose himself to danger in low haunts in order to be cut off in the midst of his health and strength. He can be made the victim of a ruffianty murderer oa the sidewalk while pursuing his poaceful way, as was this poor man Relacher on First avenue at one o'clock in the day. There was a devilish intent to kill on the part of the murderer, Quinn, and he cared little who was the victim, Having failed in his attack apon the momentary object of his resentment, he struck dowa an unoffending passer-by with a terrible blow of a coal shovel— a fatal blow, from which he never recovered. Fortunately the murderer is in the hands of justice. He makes one more among the num- ber of murderérs who have of late been filling up the cells of the Tombs, We look to the Grand Jury, tbe District Attorney and the judges to rid us of this pestilent crow of dan- gerous criminals. Society is tainted with a cloud of such wretches, with whom to kill, without purpose or provocation, seems to be @ pastime. Bostonians Waking Up Again. Two years ago the steamers of the Canard line were withdrawn from Boston for lack of encouragement. But subsequently the Cunard line and the Inman line each sent a fortnightly steamer to Boston and to New York, return- ing from this city to Liverpool. And now the Boston journals announce that owing to the reconstruction of the Grand Junction Railway, to the erection of the East Boston elevator, and to other improvements in the Trimountain. City and its vicinity, as well as to changes of gauge on many of the Western railways, conforming them to the Massachusetts stand- ard, Boston can offer sufficient inducements by shipments of Western produce for the re-estab- lishment of an exclusive line of steamers. It is added that the principal railway lines con- verging at Boston have so arranged their freight tariffs that the rates are the same to Boston as to New York on all Western goods intended for exportation. Two steamers of the Cunard line are advertised to leave Bos- ton for Liverpool—one on the 22d instant, the other a week later—and it is understood that they will be regularly followed by others if the Bostonians are wide awake enough to make. the new enterprise profitable. “Ou! rae Beavouirur Creature!”—A cor- respondent of the Albany Journal undertakes to give a sketch of the early life of the repub- lican candidate for Governor. He says that when « very little boy he had the “‘prettiest blonde curls, the sweetest blue eyes and. the rosiest cheeks of any other little boy in the: neighborhood.” What would a bluff Western frontiersman say to that recommendation for a. candidate for Governor?
