Be- tween the demands of Count Bismarck and the concessions proposed by Jules Favre in behalf of the French republic there no longer appears to us an impassable barrier to further negotiations without further bloodshed, From the government organ at Berlin we have the substance of two official notes from Count Bismarck, which, in embodying the ullimatum | of Prussia, furnish a definite basis for peace negotiations, aud sufficiently reasonable, we tlement. In the first of these notes to the representa- tives at Berlin of the neutral Powers Count Bismarck urges the necessity for better and more material guarantees of peace on the part of France, and particularly in reference to the States of South Germany—Baden, Ba- varia and Wurtemburg—than have heretofore existed. Hence the need on the part of Ger- BOOTH'S THEATRE, 25: Rip Van WINKLE. Mati berwoen 6th and 6th ave.— at 136. MRS. F. B. CONWAY'S PARK THEATRE, Brooklyn,—- Bor Van Winkie.

Geverat Butter is trying to purchase arms. It is thought that be intends to set the Glouces- ter fishermen at war with Canada. Butler is getiing into deep water when he starts that Idea, and may not be able to keep his head above it, He had better let Congress declare war on its own hook if it feels like it. Pat Woops, who assaulted Congressman Porter, in Richmond, is to be féted by his con- stituency when he returns home after his pre- sent term—three months in the district jail— is completed. Porter will be at home at the same time, and had better have himself labelled as a Congressman, so that Pat and all other belligerents will know him as such in fature. Waar Hap Brooxyty to Do Wita Ir?— Some people say that the gang of ruffians who ‘were sent to the State Democratic Convention at Rochester were organized in Brooklyn, and that the virtuous people of that city raised the funds to pay their expenses, How is this? Has the jealousy against Governor Hoffman ‘on the part of the Henry C. Murphyites Feached a point so unworthy of the staid and Alignified politicians of Kings county? Morz Rumors or War.—A telegram from that Russia is about to take advantage of the prostrate condition of France and of the supine- moss of Exgland by making war against the Sultan and thus gaining control of the Darda- elles and the Black Ses. Anda letter from ‘ well-informed source in Vienna, rolating the | ‘effect which the news of the surrender of Se- dan produced at that court, says that the Austrian government immediately set to work to put itself in an attitude of military defence in its Pollsh provinces, and that the rumor was that Austria would even provoke an in- purrection in the Polish provinces of Russia if @ latter Power should attempt to disturb the in that part of Europe. Wo rather however, that the simultaneous arming f those Powers has rather a common than & many of possessing those fortresses, Stras- bourg, Metz, Toul, and others of the prov- inces of Alsace and Lorraine, which otherwise will be a perpetual menace to Germany. In his second note the Prussian Prime Minister repudiates every idea of German intervention in the reorgani@ation of the government of France, bat says ‘‘if Strasbourg and Metz re- main in French hands the offensive of France overpowers the defensive of Germany ;” that “these material guarantees alone will givo peace, while France, retaining these places, will consider the peace a truce as enabling her to choose her own time for a renewal of hos- tilities,” and that ‘‘Germany only aska the pas- sive strength to resist such attacks,” This is the ultimatum of Prussia; and it is not unreasonable, considering the shallow pre- text upon which Napoleon entered into this war and the popularity ia France of the Na- poleonic idea of the restoration of tho old imperial Rhine frontier, and con- sidering the astonishing successes and tho | strong temptation to the Germans to ap- propriate at least the province of Alsace as ‘indemnity for the past and security for the future.” Indeed, so strongly implanted in the German mind is the idea and the desire of an absolute possession of both banks of the Rhine, from Switzerland down, that it is pro- bable even Count Bismarck may be overruled upon this important question of territory. What the Nile is to the Egyptians, what the | Jordan was acd is to the Jows, what the Ganges is to the Hindoos, is ‘Father | Rhine,” ‘the free, the German Rhino” to the Germans. It is their sacred river, and the French occupation of that portion of the left bank of this sacred river between Basle and the little tributary which passes by Weissen- burg has been and is regarded by the South Germans as a French usurpation of German soil, Count Bismarck, however, proposes, in be- half of peace, to restore this territory, now held by the German armies, to France—a con- cession, under the circumstances, not only re- markably generous, but delicate and difficult to put into execution. And what is Jules Favre, as the representative of France, willing to risk for peace? According to a report in the Lon- don Times he has admitted to Count Bismarck his readiness to enter into a treaty requiring from France an indemnity for the cost of the war to Germany (say to the extent of a thou- sand millions of dollars), with the surrender of think, to justify tho opinion of an carly set- | The Military Situation. Our despatches this morning indicate that the Prussians are still Azhting for position in front of the southern line of works about Paris, Dourdan, a village southwest of Ver- sailles, has been occupled by the besfegers, and the fortifications at Vincennes have been abandoned by the French. No strong effort has been made on the nortierly side of the city, the intention being merely to present a thin front there, strong to resist, from behind the fortifications that the beslegers throw up as they move, any sally on the part of tho French, but not strong enough to venture on an assault. The positions gained thus far are Sceaux, from which tho Prussians command Forts Montrouge, Vauvres and Bi- cetre; the fortifications at Vincennes, whence they can bombard La Pissotte and Charenton if necessary, and Versailles. Outside of these positions a railroad encircling Paris has been completed, by which, in an hour's time, they can concentrate their whole force upon one point. The woods which the French failed to burn enable the Prussians to mask their movements pretty effectually. One report states that the French had attacked the Prus- sians in the woods on the south and a severo batile had ensued, in which the former had been repulsed. Another report denies this, bat if it is trus.no doubt the intention of the Freach was to complete, if possible, the destruc- tion of the woods by fire in order to unmask the movements of, the enemy. Despatches from Tours state that inside Paris thero is a calm determination to hold out to the bitter end. Another despatch, however, says that ali discipline is vanishing among the troops inside and that the mob is rapidly becoming tho dominant power. The Prussian movement southward con- tinues with unabated activity. Detachments have entered Fontainebleau and Blois, and other detachments are marching on Nemours and Orleans, There remains but little doubt that these detached columns are ublans, who merely make flying visits, levy contributions, destroy railroads if possible, spread false re- ports of the. movements of the Prussian in- fantry, and are gono again, These movements cripple the French severely and serve as Trouble in the Eaat. We priut this morning some telegraphic mat- ter relative to the East. Russia, it is said, has serious intentions of marching south, | Coming events cast thelr shadows before. The i shadow in the Eust is 80 clear and so well de- | fined that the coming event may be expected | with some confidence. If all the rumors now afloat bo true Russia and Turkey are about to meet in deadly combat. Tho crescent and the cross are once again, as antagonistic forces, to | command the attention of Europs and the | world, There are many who say that Ruasla is not | in a condition to go towar. She looks east- ward; she is gathering up ber’ strength; she is preparing, but not yet ready—all this kind of thing is said, and not without good reason. Aduitting, however, that what is said is true, is it not at the same time undeniable that Russia has at last found her opportunity? It is her mission, as she believes, to drive the Saracen from Europe, and by the occupation of Constantinople to re-establish the empire of the East. She has not forgotten the Crimean war and its consequences, The Czar Alexander is notoriously a man of peace. But Alexander, tike all other princes in these times, must bow to the force of public opinion. Public opinion in Russia is not like public opinion in any other part of the civilized world. There the nobles are mighty, and the nobles sigh for an opportunity to avenge what they call the Crimean wrong. But for France and Great Britain Russia would now have been enthroned in the city of Constantine. France is now out of the ques- tion, and Great Britain will use her wits before she undertakes another war in defence of Turkey. Is it not time that the Turk were | sent back to Asia? Is Russia wise longer to wait? No Power but England could now hinder her from completing her mission. Is it impossible that to-day Russia, Austria, Prussia and England are of one mind? - Why cannot the Great Powers agree? Let Russia have Constantinople. Let Austria have the Danu- bian principalities. Let Great Britain have the entire control of the Suez Canal, What more is wanted? England is the one Power that Russia has to fear. If England gets pos- an effectual mask of the actual opera- tions of the invaders. It may prove, however, that the force moving on Orleans is actually a heavy infantry force following in rear of the advance cavalry at Blois and hay- ing Tours as its present objective point. Tours and Orleans are both to be defended and session of the Suez Canal, and thus a safe highway to India, Russia may march south- ward without let or hindrance in that quarter ; and without England there is no Power in Europe that can afford to go to war on the Eastern question. Wo await further news; but the signs of the times are increasingly will probably undergo a siege suchas Metz and Strasbourg and Paris are undergoing. With the disappearance of the Army of the Loire, which does not seem to have attempted any resistance whatever to the Prussian ad- vance, the strange anomaly is presented of France at war without an army in the field, every force she has raised for service so far being cooped up in one of several towns now in‘a state of siege. What @ weak enemy she has proven in open combat, and what stubborn foes her mismanaged armies have proven in Strasbourg, Metz and Toul! The siege of these cities is progressing slowly with no effectual change in the sitnation. General Ulrich, it is said, is willing to surren- der, but has been deterred from it by the de- mands of the soldiery. A shell is reported to have set fire to the Strasbourg theatre, two hundred women and children who had taken refuge there being burned to death. At Metz and Toul the defence holds out stub- a part of the French fleet, and the dismantling (as Luxembourg has been dismantled) of the fortresses of Metz, Strasbourg and other mili- tary positions of an offensive character to the South German States. These propositions in behalf of France are also liberal, and vis-d- vis with the ultimatum of Prussia they indi- cate a near approach of the hizh contracting parties to a treaty of peace. The declaration of Oount Bismarck that Prussia repudiates every idea of intervention in the reorganization of the government of France is, however, the most encouraging fact of all that have been developed in behalf of peace. It relieves France and it relieves the neutral Powers of all apprehensions of a res- toration of the Orleanists or the Regency in Paris threugh Prussian intervention. It leaves France free to elect her own govern- ment and free from misgivings of another Holy Alliance, provided always that this war is not continued till enlarged into a genoral continental struggle. The agitation among the extreme republican elements of France, Spain, Italy, and even of Germany, however, admonish the King of Prussia that peace is his true policy, and tho losses and sufferings which this war has brought upon France and the French people ought to satisfy him that a treaty of peace with her present provi- sional government will be duly ratified and honored by the regular government which wil! follow, including such material guarantees aa Favre and his colleagues may feel authorized to grant. But we suppose that, in order to reconcile the “reds” of Paris and of Lyons and other large cities of France to the fact that the new republic cannot safely under- take to prosecute the war to the expul- sion of the enemy across the Ruine, it wiil be necessary on the part of King Wil- liam to push the investment of Paris to a capitulation, Nor does it appear from the latest reports of the progress of the invest- ment that Paris, with its two millions of con- sumers of provisions, and cut off from all sources of supply, will or can much longer hold out. With the necessity of a capitula- tion we look for peace, and its conditions may embrace the departure of the Germans, as in the case of Austria, without the occupation by the Prussian army of the endangered capital. APPEALING TO THE Wrona Piacg.—A fel- low who stole somebody's watch was sent toa place where watches are very scarce—Sing Sing prison. The Assistant District Attorney drew Judge Bedford's attention to the fact that this criminal boasted that he had political in- fluence sufficiont in the District Atiorney’s office to make it “all right” for him. Where- upon the City Judgo sentenced him to the State prison for five yeara as an example to his friends of the influence he exercised over the District Attorney and the Court, Tis fel- low, it seems, appealed to the wrong place for boraly against a close blockade, the furious bombardment having ceased, owing, it is probable, to a partial withdrawal of the he- sieging force. We may soon expect a grand assault at Paris, King William cannot afford to sit down patiently to the tedious operation of starving out the garrizon uniil he has tried the spirit and strength of the works and their defenders by flinging the full force of his army against them. The quiet withdrawal of troops from Toul and Metz indicates some action of thia kind, and it may be that it is only delayed by the pending negotiations for peace. Heaven grant that blessed peace come early enough to save this century from the sight of an army of infuriated Prussians swooping through the streets of Paris. More About the Censzs. Mr. Sidney E. Morse wrote to the Heratp that the census had not been taken at his house. The census men responded with a statement that by reference to their books they found the census return for that gentle- man’s house on their lists—that the census, therefore, had certainly been taken there, and that, consequently, Mr. Morse was mistaken if he had not wilfully sought to wrong them; and they implied that every similar statement of their delinquency was of the same unsub- stantial character and melted away upon in- vestigation. This seemed from their point of view a triumphant vindication of the accuracy of the census, and, perhaps, removed for the time the doub!s. But Mr. Morse went to ex- amine the return that was thus flouted in his face, and he publicly states that they had his family returned as numbering six, whereas it numbers fourieen; that the names and ages and the facts in regard to property were all wrong, and that it was not only a defective return, but, so far as the value of a real cen- sus goes, fo return at all of that particular family. Here is a fact for the people who want to know what dependence is to be placed upon the accuracy of the census, Tur Cruss iN Paris.—The operations in Paris against the government are from exactly the same party whose endeavors gave the late Emperor the pretext on which he overthrew the republic of 1848, and from the same orders in society which, making themselves felt through the clubs of the old revolution, ousted of all authority the legitimate voice of France and substituted the voice of Paris and the in- dustry of the guillotine. They present the same problem once more, and it is to be seen whether France can solve it without another recurrence to “strong” government, Tur AxBouttion Question in CuBa.—Cap- tain General De Rodas has just promulgated an order setting free the children of all slaves captured since the year 1864 who have served an apprenticeship of sixteen years, May not troublous. The Pope is down; why should not the sick man of Constantinople follow ? Yellow Fover in the Mediterranean Ports. Despatches from Madrid contain the infor- mation that yellow fever to an alarming extent is raging in Barcelona, and that the other cities on the Mediterranean coast are in high excite- ment over the fact. It appears that the fever presents a very virulent type, including the vomito, In Barcelona there were a thousand cases reported, of which four hundred proved fatal. The city had become so stricken with terror that seventy thousand of its inhabitants have fled, and business is, in consequence, wholly paralyzed. Where did this pestilence come from, and how did it come? It was brought to Barcelona by the steamer Maria Pia, from Cuba, just the infected place from which vessels are arriving in this port of New York every day. The reason, perhaps, why Barcelona is scourged with pestilence, while New York is free from it, is just in the difference of quarantine systems. In Barcelona, probably, quarantine laws are poorly observed, while we know that in New York, under the able management of Dr. Carnochan, they are strictly carried out, even against factious and annoying opposition from various selfish quarters. If the ports of the Mediterranean can be scourged with yellow fever imported from Cuba, allowing that it takes some three or four weeks for a sailing vessel to make the voyage, and probably half that time for a steamer, how much greater is the risk at this port, where sailing vessels can make the passage from Havana, Cienfuegos and the West India ports in a few days, How much greater, therefore, the necessity for the closest vigl- lance on the pari of the Health Officer of the port to preserve a strict quarantine, For- tunately there is an official in that position now who, despite the number of vessels ar- riving in the lower bay from infected ports during an intensely hot summer, which is the potent agent of infectious disease, has kept the city free from contagious disorders up to this time. We remember the excitement during the fall of 1856, caused by the importa- tion of yellow fever from Cuba and other Southern ports; how a quarantine hospital on Staten Island became a pest house; when we were stariled by the news that nine deaths from yellow fever were re- ported in one week, occurring among the em- ployés of the Quarantine station, including the gatekeeper, the enginocr and their families; how the residents of Staten Island protested more forcibly than in words against the exist- ence of the Quarantine Hospital in their midst; how the inhabitants on the Long Island shore were smitten with the disease, which floated ashore in the infected clothing thrown overboard from vessels in quarantine; how the insidious monster crept into the lower wards of the city, until we became familiar with the daily report of ‘‘deaths from yellow fever.” The recollection of these facts, and the news from Spain of the outbreak of yellow fever there, while {t need not unnecessarily alarm us, should admonish us that our Quar- antine laws cannot be trifled with, The health of the city is of more importance than any other interest, and it is more vital than tech- | nicalities, We rely, therefore, upon the known energy of the Health Offcer of the port to observe a rigid surveillance over all vessels hailing from Cuba or other ports known to be afflicted with contagious diseases, Wro Has Sammx’s Watcu?—It is reported that some reprobate at the Rochester Conven- tion stole the watch of Sammy Tilden, This was very naughty, ubless the man wanted it asa souvenir of the distinguished proprietor of all the respectability of his party. No doubt in that case he would be considered welcome to it. But who is he, and is he an > .NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, SHKPTEMBER 24, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, LS, The Revolutionary Demonstrations Inside | Begiuning of Trouble iu the Repablicas of Paris. With the last glimpse that we obtained of the inner workings of the besieged capital of France we saw that riotous and revolutionary domonstrations, accompanied by a moderate pillaging of stores for supplies, had been made by the unemployed elements, Paris is said to be provisioned for four months, and as the siege had hardly commenced when these de- monstratlons were made, it scarcely stands to reason that the people are in need of bread. There may be something of a revolutionary element in the new disorder, but it cannot yet have developed into a movement formidable enough to head a popular riot, especially when unity of action will alone save the government of France from overthrow at the hands of the enemy, The truth appears to be that the threatening monotony of the siege is beginning to affect the impatient temper of the volatile French- man. There is nothing so dreadfully monoto- nous asa siege, except, it may be, a sick room where a clock is ticking, and to a French- man nothing is so dreadful as monotony. Excitement or suicide is the only alternative that presonts itself to the average French mind. To be shut out from the world, of which Paris is the centre, to be even cut off | from any early prospect of knowing the pro- gress of the stirring events occurring almost in her immediate vicinity—events, too, which are laden so fully with good or evil for the gay capital—to wander unemployed amid the harrowing silence of the lately festive city— through streets that are no longer lighted, through that Boils de Boulogne which is no longer a Bois, through the Boulevards which have become the dullest of byways, to be cut off from his Versailles and his Vincennes, to be without his Jardin Mabille, and even to be without his news—what remains for a French- man todo but to inaugurate a revolution or commit suicide? This siege is worse than a rainy day—it {s an unending succession of rainy days—and itis said that rainy days are very prolific of French.sulcides, Here, then, is a multitude of rainy days rolled into one, and how can the Parisians do justice to the subject except by a grand magnificent suicide, such as an internal revolt in the face of the enemy must prove to be? Blundering Justice. What has just happened on the Erie Rail- road with regard to the trip to Rochester Lilus- trates very well the embarrassments that State lines may cause to the administration of sim- ple justice, and shows also that Justice, even when she does not connive at the escape of wrongdoers, is apt to secure it by her very clumsiness. Some rogues, it is clear, ‘got into the train that was prepared to take the delegates to the Democratic Convention at Rochester. That train was organized on the “free lunch” principle; tickets were easily had and passed from hand to -hand, and the thieves grabbed them as affording an opportu- nity to ply their trade. Pickpockets, it is alleged, were active on the train, and outside the train also, in the way of depredations at stations. At Susquehanna bridge it is re- ported an adroit rogue snatched all the cash from the money drawer at a bar when it was opened to make change for the many thirsty democrats who were honestly paying for their refreshments. But all these things were done in the State of New York. No misconduct is heard of as having occurred anywhere in the State of New Jersey, and it is certain that what was done has been greatly exiggerated and extravagantly overstated for the pirpose of making a sensation on one hand and of making party capital on the other. What was done, however, was bad enough, and such as to make every good citizen desire to see the scoundrels punished. But see how ‘‘justice” saves them. At the terminus in New Jersey the police rush forward and arrest everybody. They take honest men and all, and thus at once secure for the rogues good company and public sympathy. And when this stupid Jus- tice turns round to examine her case against the rogues she has caught she tinds she has no jurisdiction—that every act complained against was committed beyond her bounda- ties, New Jersey means well in the matter of punishing crime, and has sirict ideas of the enforcement of the laws, but hor authorities are incorrigibly stupid and wooden-headed. What we would like to know is whether this Jersey police saved these rogues from the hands of the New York police? How many of his men familiarly acquainted with the persons of our city rogues had Superintendant Jourdan at the Erie boats to watch the arrival of the desperadoes? Or was he so little pre- pared to do his duty that he had none there? Did he have all his available men on special service hunting for young democrats with dark lanterns? Ur To SnuFF.—While a number of notorious characters, including the Prince of Erie, can go hazing around, emblazoned with diamonds and costly jewels, without the danger of being robbed or having their pockets picked, is it not remarkable that such respectable gentle- men as the Mayor of Rochester and Sammy Tilden are subject to the depredations of free- booters who attend assemblages like that of the late Democratic State Convention? His Honor the Mayor of Rochester, it is reported, had his silver snuff box purloined from him by some one of the New York city or Kings county scamp followers, and Sammy Tilden returned to the mahogany sideboard of the Manhattan Club minis his timekeeper. “My watch is ie," sald Samuel; “Jess so—watenos ‘were made to go."” This is altogether wrong. Our depredating fellow citizens should “‘let up” on such respect- able personages as the mayors of cities and the active geniuses of such highly aristocratic associations as the Manhattan Club. Tae Esrgror oF Braziu To Visit TOE Unirep Sratzs.—The Emperor of Brazil is coming to the United States—at least so our Rio Janeiro correspondent informs us. The object of his Majesty's visit is for the pur- pose of gathering information which may prove useful in the administration of affairs in the vast extent of country over which he rules. Above all things Dom Pedro wants to learn what are the effects of the abolition of slavery here, as there Is at ‘present @ movement on foot looking forward to the abolition of slavery Party. Wendell Phillips has taken up the cudgela against the Prussian monarch and his Minister. But he out-Bismarcks Bismarck in the fury of his assault, yet he lacks the Prussian diplo mat’s symmetry of caloulation, While the Prussian Bismarck foresees the triumphant result of a fight with France, but fails to rccog- nize the republican ghost in the background, the Boston Phillips attacks his own republi- can prty in the citadel of its strength—the sympathies of our German population, Weu- dell Phillips is always making trouble. He is generally ahead of his party and his parti- san friends, like a comet among the Pleiads. He cultured the anti-slavery phantom until it assumed tho proportions of a giant in atrength and intellect. He has taken hold of the pro- temperance movement and is waging war against all beer drinkers and imbibers of alco- holio stimulants. He is the recognized front, 80 far as Massachusetts is concerned, of the so-called labor reform crusade, and finally, in attacking Prussia, and through her all Ger- many, he plants a poniord in the heart of the republican party. Perhaps that is exactly what he means, But if the end justifies the means, and that end be the annihilation of the republican phalanx, horse, foot and dragoons, the Boston agitator has taken a step in the right direction, We are of opinioa, however, that: the republican leaders will not think favorably of this anti-Teutonic operation ol their eloquent but erratic ally. Trouble is begioning in the republican camp. Italian Unity Periect at the Centre. Our cable telegrams from London and Flor- ence, under date of yesterday, report that the territorial consolidation and national unity of Italy have been perfected. The troops of King Victor Emanuel hold complete posses- sion of the Eternal City. In Florence tho most active preparations were being made for the transfer of the capital to Rome, Italy approved the act. The Romans rejoice at the consummation of their cilizen enfranchise- ment and civic dignity. The Popo is respected as Chief Bishop of the Church, and made com- pletely free in his ecclesiastical capacity. As temporal ruler his Holiness is ‘‘nowhere.” We have no doubt, however, that he is per- fectly secure and will be treated with the utmost respect by the Italians. General Cadorna has ordered a guard for duty around the per- son of his Holiness, Mazzini has experienced a considerable degreé of attention, and a gen- eral amnesty for political offences was looked for. Thus has the ‘‘edifice been crowne a” in Italy. Cavour’s idea has been completely vin- dicated. The “‘red hussar” of the Austrian is not to be seen on Italian soil. Pope Pius the Ninth, who really himself set the grand national principle abroad before the world, soon after his coronation, has lived to see his country one, united, and, it is to be hoped,” indivisible in the future. He can now pro- nounce the #a missa est with an ennobling fervor and sublime dignity from the grand altar of St. Peter's. Geverat Burien ON FisHtRMen’s KIGHTS.— General Butler represents in Congress the Fifth district of Massachusetts, and he is a candidate for re-election. His constituents are directly interested in tho Northeastern fisheries, and, of course, he stands by their rights to catch codfish one marine league from the coast of the British provinces concerned. He holds, as his fishing constituents hold, that the fishery treaty stipulations give them the right to fish three miles from the shore inside the bays all round the bands of the coast of said British seaboard provinces, while the Blue Noses contend that the treaty means that the Yankees can fish only outside of a line from head- land to headland. Says General Butler, “If I were a Cape Cod fisherman, and any- body interfered with my rights, I would fight; and I tell you, my friends, that the first gun fired would give us these rights or give us Canada.” Of course this plain speak- ing was the very thing for the Cape Cod fishermen, to whom it was addressed, and General By yz ill be re-elected by a rousing majority. Tue Vick PresipzNoy For 1872.—Vice President Colfax having withdrawn from the canvass for the republican .renomination for the Vice Presidency, and, it is supposed, thrown the weight of his influence in favor of Attorney General Akerman of Georgia for the position, the Georgia papers give their sentiments thereupon in their own peculiar language. We give an extract upon the subject from a Georgia paper, rather inimical, we imagine, tothe proposed nomina- tion, Akerman is probably President Grant's choice for Colfax’s vacancy. He rather likes. Akerman, and the ‘‘nearest of kin is nearest the throne.” Perhaps the democracy may: have something to say on the subject. Sgoret Po1rticaL Crups.—The crop of. secret political clubs is: becoming very promis- ing. Old and young democrats are getting them up, while the republicans are ‘‘gathering them in” like grim Death wherever they can muster a corporal’s guard in any of the wards. One democratic club, which was started in an adjoining city a couple of weeks ago, came to grief the first week, to wit—the secretary was sent to the State Prison for ten years for high- way robbery and the organizer had his pocket picked before he left the room. These signs, are very encouraging. The clubs cause the money and whiskey to flow profusely; but the. moral of the matter is rather questionable. Ropggick Ranpom Butier, of Tennessee, who could not be convicted by the backwoods judge out there of frauds charged against. him. by the Commissioner of Pensions, isto have the charge pressed when he returns te Wash- ington asa Congressman. Whether he does: not get off on the plea of Congressional privi. lege, as Porter and the other Butler did, is.a, question yat in doubt, but it is consoling to know that, there is a rod of gome gort in pickle for Rodgtick. Tux Rovens at Roouxstun—There was %/ very bad crowd of this class of the genus home, at Rochester duting the Domocratic Conven- tion. . They did a little congenial work on the ad by robbing stores in the villages as they passed through, basides “going through” any in Brazil.
