) : j : AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. The Coming Meeting at Je- rome Park. GREAT RACING EVENTS. Immense Purses and Stakes—List of Horses at the Stables—Morning Gal- lops on the _ Course — Interest- ing Scenes and Incidents, Within eleven days the fall meeting of the Amert- can Jockey Club will have been Inaugurated and thousands journeying toward Jerome Park to partt- cipate in the glorious sport announced. Never has such a programme as presented for the 6th, 8th, 11th, 13th and 15th of October in the matter of mag- nitude and liberality been displayed by the club, and the staunch support given it by turfmen and breed- ers throughout the country been so marked; and there 1s every reason to believe that the attendance will surpass any previous occasion in the history of the association, whatever may have been the bril- tiancy and excitement characterlaing past events. The amount of money to be run for is much larger than was ever depending to purses and stakes and additions to the latter, at any former racing meeting in the land, While this feature is so eminenuy attractive and satisfactory—veally the initiative to enkindle a great enthusiasm in the minds of own- ers—responses from them have been of sucha nature that bn ail probablilty there will be more horses In te stables of the club before the opening day than On any other occasion. Jerome Park never looked more beautiful than now. A visit at this season of autumnal glories will amply repay one. Nature there continually smniles. From the first crimson tnts of morning, inat reveal a world of splendor, down through the hours of the unclouded sun, that makes the knolls and hills around about ook pleas- ant in their russet and emerald robes, and even ir the shades of departing twilight, the mottled oaks and orange-tinted maples and the elms and scarlet vines, dress the woods and thickets in gorgeous hues, making the picture one of delight to linger apon. A few days more and the roads thereto will be alive with shiftimg panoramas of vehicles. Far away among the shrubbery of the grounds will then be seen burnished trappings flashing in the sun- light, and fluttering roves and ribbons fleck. jug the current with many colors, Princely fours-in-hand, aristocratic family carriages rolling along to rician grandeur, tandems, phaetons, lit- tle open wagons and dashing dog carts will sweep past to the scenes in one unbroken string from Fifth avenue to Jerome, The amusement will be of the most animated nature. Tue batcoutes of the club house will be crowded with handsome iadies, ele- gantly attired. The grand staud will be filled and dense masses of people will cover the green sward between it and the course, and on every hand of the fair and weil-bred, will be pictures of beauty and enjoyment ia a framework of excitement, Preparing forthe grand companies that will be in attendance at the Park, and with the hopes of being successful in winning one or more of the purses or stakes offered, the trainers are daily exhibiting activity, Already seventy-one horses are in the Various stables, the majority of which are doing earnest work for one or more of the coming events. ‘The great amount of $40,000—that's the sum !—is worth contending for, even if aivided in many parts, and the struggles will be Keen to possess one or more of them. On Thursday morning last a visit was made to Je- Tome to onserve the morning gallops, the improve- ments recently made there and the scene in general. The soft-burning, twinkling stars had hardly dis- appeared when the greatest bustle was observed about the stables, and rubbers and riders, trainers and owners were hurrying to and fro to prepare for ‘the work before them and give those in their charge the allotted exercise. Just as the early fog was lift- ing from the course Dr. Weldon seut out the chest- nut colt Leiand and ohestnut filly Rattan. They were jogged a thile with their clothes on, and after their removal and the proper attention. given two miles quite strong. As Leland ts in the great Dinner Party Stakes at Baltimore this auyumn he will be Watched very attentively, Next on the course came Pennock’s string of youngsters under the supervision of Ephratm Snedeker; they were the Censor colt, entered for the sweepstakes for two year olds on the last day of the meeting; the bay filly by Engineer, and the colt Windquill. Jogging first, then bein; aped and rabbed, they were given two miles, the latter half the Censor colt being sent around with the filly ata bouncing jump. Soon fol- Jowed a number of Littlefleld’s, among which were the bay horse Edenton and the filly Talaria, the for- mer being in the Handicap Sweepstakes the first day and the latter in the Grand National Handicap the third day of the meeting. Charley sent them spinning .around alongside of Rattan, and afterward near to McDaniel’s string, that also appeared before breakfast. First of the Colonel's was Oysterman, Jr., the king of jumpers, looking well and showing ta good style; next came Marry Bassett, the Canary Bird colt that proved such & successful “dark one” in the Kentucky Stakes, at fhe secoud meeting of Saratogo, As he is in the Nursery Stakes the first day, of course Mac is looking keenly after hm. Then came his bay colt Belmont, by Lexington, out of Alabama, who is i the Champion Stakes, and bringing up the rear was Oak Leaf who will try her mettle 1a the 8 “Maturity Stakes. They were well galloped and exercised under the guidance of the Colonel. Then came four from R. Wyndham Walden’s stable, comprising. the chestnut filly &cho by Australian, dam, Kate Hayes; the bay filly Merry ‘Thought, enveréd tn the Champlon Stakes, and the aily Lilly Harness, in the sweepstakes on the last Yiay. These were rattled along for a mite in their , clothes, which being removed, they were given two miles and more very spiritedly. It had now reached seven o'clock, and most of the horses were bundled up to their throats, walked about for a while and then taken back to their stables, and the boys and trainers went for their breakfast with appetites made keen by the bracing alr ‘of the early morning. Half an hour after two or three owners came upon the course and awaited their horses wich becoming complacency. By eight o'clock tue sun had absorbed every little obscuring cloud and the mist of the moraing, and then the baiance of the many horses went out singly, by twos and by threes, for their morning gallops. Nar- raganset, among Mr. Puryear’s string, came first, and did his work faithfully, This horse looks ex- ceedingly well, and the chances are that if Stamps, with whom he is matched for $10,000 in Balt more, hus pot greatly improved sinc? her last ap- pearance in public, Will make short work with her and win the “money easily. Among the earliest that followed was the bay colt Lexicon, by Glencoe, out of The Gloamin’, matched against Mr. Beimont’s chestnut coit By the Sea, by Thormanby, out vf Bernice, to be decided the fourth day of the coming meeting. He was sent a mile and a halfstrongly, and then, afver walking about, was taken back W the stable. L. G. Morris’ list of two year olds then came on, among them being the chestnut filly Mtinosa, the bay filly Mignonette and the bay filly Myrtie, ali entered in the Nursery Stakes; ani the turee year old chestnut filly Vinca,’ by Censor, dam Verbena, in the Jerome Sweepstakes. They attractea a good deat of attention while bemg spun around at the bidding of Albert Thomas, their trainer. The Doneratie colt also did excellent work, and George Walden, who has charge of L. W. Jerome’s long string of good looking colts by Kentucky, occupted nearly the entire morning in giving them their allotted exercise. Many of these latter have never run, aud they promise well. ‘Thompson's string, six in number, among them old Lobelia, and Grimtin & Donahue’s Biddy Malone and Harbinger, the latter novice in the jumping business, and Gaffney & Tully’s colts, all in turn went through their gallops, completing the work of oe day just be‘ore dinner. k Was 1 good order. Tifhe atteation orene trainers then being legitimately diverted from the track, opportunity was takeD toy look around under their gentlemanly guidance among the stables, There was much of ioterest to note. Bacon & Holland’s bay colt Lynchburg was seen for the first time since his serious accident at Long Branch. It is with pleasure that it is advised that this unfortunate colt 1s dolng pretty well. At times he would skip and play about, but the rigid. ity of the limb is yet paintul to witness. Dr. Wel- den’s old favorite, Flora, Mclvor, was 2/so observed, and it was said that she, too, will never run again, ‘The old mare broke down so badly ai Long Branch The of the was a large one, Fe ars See nee H.

More than a lingering moment fs necessary to note the granueur of the purses aiid stakes to be run for at the coming meeting. On the first day there will be four races, on the second five, on the third five, on the fourth six, and on the firth six. Tne stakes to be run for are numerous, the entries large, and the amount of ‘money to be won, beyond all precedent. The club itself will give in purses anc’ money over $15,500, and Mr. Lambard, one of its members, will add $3,000 to the stake which bears his name, to- gether with over $20,000 in stakes, The Champion Stakes, for three-year-olds, 1s $290 each, halt torfert, and $1,500 added; miic heats. There are forty-nine subscribers; so it will certainly amount to over $7,000. ‘The Nursery Stakes, for two-year-olds, is $50 each, play or pay, and $1,000 added. There are sixty en- tries; $0 here is $4,000 for beating the string. Then comes the Jerome Stakes, for tiree-year-olé flines, $300 each, half forfett, and $500 added; one mile and three-quarters. There are nineteen sub- scripers for this, aud it will undoubtedly amount to 4,000. +i ie Maturity Stakes, for four-year-olds, is $200 each, half forfeit, and $1,200 added; three miles. This has twenty entries, ana the winner's earnings ‘Will fall but little short of $4,000. ‘Then there 1s the Annual Stakes, for three-year- olds, $500 each, half forleit, and $1,000 added; two miles. ‘Twenty-six have entered for this, and iffve should start it would amount to $3,500, Then the Lombard Stakes, the last of the great three-year-old stakes.

His career has been so very wonderful, so very pri- vileged, that it almost seems to call for the crown of a bloody martyrdom to complete its glories. Then we would have, after a few years, the Breviary ea oilice of “St, Pius 1X., Pope and Mar- tyr I" Wonld that not be glorious? The Cardinals would get together, somewhere, ana elect a successor to the “Crux de Cruce.”” Human society, shaken to its foundations by the displacement of the keystone of the fabric of Christendom, would seek a readjust- ment—and, a8 a condition sine qua non, the Pope would take his place in Rome, ‘There remain two other possibilities.

Will they, at least, pause tu the mad career in which the Prince of Darkness is whirling on the blindea race of man, and reflect, ere it be too late, whither they are going—whither the unholy spirit of revolt, of unbridied license, will carry poor miserable man, when once he has thrown oif the restraints of con- science and religion? Will they figure to themselves the grand yet mournful scene where, in Eternai Rome, the head of the Church, the successor of St. Peter, 1s braved, insulted, and “ordered out”? the minions of Victor Emanuel— nay, not of him, but, worse still, of Mazziniand Gari- baldi? Will Catholics think of the terrible drama, the mighty epic in which the greatest of modern Popes, the iliustrious Pius the Ninth, is the central figure’ Will Catholics learn, even now, to think, to speak, to feel, to act as Catholics?

Armed Collision Between Whites and Blacks—A Threatening Danger Averted— Great Excitement. RIcuMonD, Va., Sept. 23, 1870. Ihave learned the full particulars of the recent public disturbances in Newbern county, North Caro- lina, They originated in the attempt of a white planter, named James Chappel, to eject a colored "man off his plantation. The negro resisted, and was wounded by Chappel with a knife, On the subse- quent Sunday the negroes of the vicinity assembled to take vengeance on Chappel; but they fell back before the advance of Chappel and four white men, who thought it best to puton a bold front. The whites in the vicinity then armed themselves and joined Chappel and his party. The belligerent par- tles bivouacked for the night within two miles of each other, neither party desiring to commence hos- filities. Next morning the sheriff of the county made an incursion into the camp of the whites and arrested Cuappel and another man named An- Pe with whom he set out for Newberry Court jouse, On returning to the seat of war the Sheriff met a large force of State constabulary and a crowd of armed negroes. These he ordered to the front, with instrucuons to disperse any illegal bodies of armed men they might dnd. They soon encountered a body of 800 white men, well mounted and armed, who were proceeding to intercept a force of State militia that was reported to be Cee. 4 to reintorce the negroes. It is said that a slight skirmish took place between these mounted men and the con- stabulary, but without serious injury to either. When the Sheriff and party arrived at the planta- tion he demanded of the negroes what they wanted, and they answered ‘Justice.” This he said they should jiave in the proper legal way, but not by tak- ing the law in their own hands. They expressed themselves satisfied with his assurance, and as a ther guarantee of their willingness to abide by the law they agreed to surrender the eixty negroes who had threatened to kill Chappel. When it came, however, to turning over the prisoners only twenty- three were forthcoming, and with these the Sherif on took up his march for Newberry Court House. ‘hen he neared the town/his advance was again nalted by another force of negroes, led by one who was wounded and who swore vehemently that the Sheriff's posse had shot him. Quite an altercation took place, which was interrupted by a VOLLEY FIRED |, nto the Sheriff's force, which, luckily, injured no- body. After this the Sheriff succeeded tn conveying his prisoners to town, where they were severally bound to appear for trial before the State Circuit Court, then in session, It 18 said that after the ar- rest of the twenty-three prisoners the large force of white men marched toward the Saluda river, in Edgefieid county, for the purpose of preventing the junction of a large force of negroes, reported to be marching to Anderson’s plantation, with ubose at that point, PEACE RESTORED. Citizens of Edgeflelf Court House, S. C., who left town for the sceue of the reported dificulties, con- firm the above statements and report the excitement as having been tutense on Saturday, Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. As maby as seven or eight hun- dred negroes and as many whites, with arms in their hands, were at one time formally arrayed against each other in line of battle; but the negroes, seeing that the whites’ were fully prepared and fully determined, consulted among themselves and wisely determined to go back to the cotton fleids. It is said, further, that they promised the whites they would not again gather together in this unlawful and uncailed for manner, The country in the neigh- borhagd of Anderson’s plantation is how compara- tively in quiet. OBITUARY. x Major Chauncey B. Reese, United States Army. A private telegram received here yesterday re- ports the death of this officer at his station at Mo- bile, on the 22d inst. Major Reese was a native of this State. He entered the Military Academy at West Point in July, 1854, and graduated in 1859. Imme- diately after he was commissioned brevet second lieutenant in the corps of engineers and ordered to Alabama, where he served until the outbreak of the rebellion. Promoted te the rank of first licutenant he aided in placing Washington in a state of defence, and participated in the Virginia peninsular cam- paign. He constructed numerous bridges, roads and iield works. Among the first named was the famous bridge, 2,000 feet in length, across the Chickahominy. Until August, 1863, he remained in Virginia, having, by this Ume, won the rank of cap- tatn. He was next sent to the Department of the South, where he engaged in the siege of Fort Wag- ner and in constructing defences, until February, 1864, when he was appointed Chief Engineer of the Army of the Tennessee. He participated in the entire campaign under General Sherman, from Daiton to Aulanta, and thence to Savannah. At the close he was made vrevet major, brevet Meutenant colonel and brevet colonel, December 21, 1864, for gallant and distinguished services during the campaign through Georgia and ending in the capture of Savannah, Still serving under Sherman he made another campaign through South and North Carolina, which resulted in the surrender of Johnston’s army. For the part he took im these operations he was made a brevet brigadier general. After tne close of the war he was placed on duty as captatu of engineers, that being his rank in the reguiar army. In 1867 he was promoted to major, which commission he held at the time of his death. For some time past he had been on auty at Mobile. It is supposed that the dis- ease which carried him off was yellow fever, a ser- vant in his family having died of it some ten days previous. Major Reese was widely esteemed by all who knew him. He was married a couple of years ago at fortress Montroe, and, besides his widow, leaves a cnild which was born some months ago. AN ENTERPRISING TEUTON. How a Butcher Tri to t Into “Business on His Own Account.” At the Yorkville Police Court yesterday John Bab- tiste Deninger, a very enterprising native of Ger- many, was brought up to answer a charge of grand larceny. About six months ago he worked asa butcher fora man named Schaefiner, No, 1,108 Sec- ond avenue, Yesterday he went to Fred. Espel, No. 860 Third avenue, and borrowed a horse and wagon from him on the strength of the latter’s ac- quaintance with Schaefiner. With the horse and wagon he proceeded to Jacob Heister’s Slaughter house, on the corner of Forty- fifth street and First avenue, and obtained a beef carcass worth $100. He next went to Isaac Rotchmann’s butcher shop, in First avenue and Forty-fourth street and got four lamb carcasses; from another source he procared a veal carcass, and took the whole to the corner of Graham avenue and Broadway, Brooklyn, were he had just started a new butcher shop, Detective Lambrecht, of the ‘ineteenth precinct, hunted Deninger up, arrested him and recovered the meat.

Paris, Sept. 7, 1870, On the night of Saturday last when Fashion retired to rest she was perfectly unconscious as she closed her eyes on @ pretty turquoise and cream poult de sole that her last Napoleonic court robe was to hang on a “peg” forever, Long before the next day’s sun had found its way to her lace pillow through rose- colored curtains the news, the fatal news, had spread, Napoleon was 8 prisoner, the battle was lost, Mac- Mahon was wounded, Sedan had surrendered. Not until the afternoon of that democratic Sunday did the whole truth reach her, but, strange to say, when the fickle female stood out on her balcony a little after and looked down on the jubilant crowds pass- ing by, all singing and shouting “Vive ia repub- lique,” she already wore the Phrygian cap and her neglig¢ morning dress was draped en ltberté. ‘The vital power of resistance which keeps this inex- haustible sovereign alive through every change is truly wonderful. ‘The Emperor has fled with the sword of France now given over to Prussia; the Empress has fled with all her old spirit and from the ingratitude of a whole nation; the young Prince has fled with the hardest lot that ever cast gloom over childhood; Princess Vlothilde has fled like a dove; Princess Ma- tnilde has fled like a vulture (with sixty-two pack- ages); Prince Napoleon has fed like a terrified nare; M. Rouher like an owl; M. de Persigny like a mad- cap; the majority of the Chamber has fled; the Sena- tors have fled with their skullcaps; all the ladies’ maids have filed with their crimping trons and smooth tongues; all the men tallors have fled with the fortunes of their customers’ husbands; hair- dressers have fled with their rouge pots: coachmen and footmen have fled; all the head cooks, interme. diate cooks and under cooks have fled with what they could get; all the diamonds, spangles, powder and paniers have fled; but Fashion has maintained her ground, THE LEADERS OF THE TON DRESSED IN THE FORT RESSES. She is standing up in the forts triumphantly, sur- roundea by ramparts on which are all the men of France, attired in blouses, jackets, uniforms, coats, képis and shakos, They are all armed to the teeth; some with their implements of husbandry, hatchets, swords and spades, guns and revolvers, bayonets and bowie knives; and it isa barbarous array, but Fashion 13 firm. She does not mind being monar- chical, imperial or democratic in turn, we Know. She will be anything in the government line, under any undertaker of public dispensation; but she will hold to her seat in Paris. She will arge every child of hers on to the death; and there they all are—counts, dukes, princes of the finance, kings of the pen, knaves of the quill She would roll back hee Gwe, algeres cmeiaells Cato. Be Ene ee 20 We work; she would even pick her own walls to pieces for the sake of throwing the last stones at the foe: she will be seen behind every loophole, and watch with revolver in hand. Then, if conquered at last, she will tie up a bundle, put on acork girdle and swim over, with both bundle and buoyant cork, to America. Should this happen, kind readers, pray pull her up and reform her, for she is, without disre- spect, the “plucklest”’ French woman of all, ‘As she has her hands too full just now to invent fresh clothes, and has left her daughters at the sea- side to sport sailor collars, true blue knots, flannel skirts and navy blue until something less like ship- wreck turns up, I will simply relate a few of my im- pressions, They are inspixed by the incidents I have ‘witnessed since my last. WHAT IS BEING DONE—HOW THE LADIES ARE EM- PLOYED. 1 was at the Palais de I’Industrie on Sunday, hav- ing been asked io carry to Mme. de Canrobert some small squares of linen threaded out according to the system of Nelaton for covering large wounds in which lint wouid be of no avail, The Marshal's ‘wile was at her charitable post, for an ambulance corps was about to leave the palais and she had superintended the Lc ely apes She was plainly dressed in light gray silk and a black sitk casaque; her hat was black lace, a gray plume and veivet sirings. Ihad just delivered the messages confided to ine and had wished some of the young men goodby who were falling into their ranks, When a shout in the direction of the Place de la Concorde made me stride down the Champs Elys¢es, and I reached the bridge facing the Assemplie in five minutes, Dense lines of men, women, boys, citizens and the Na- tional Guard were coming from the Palais Bourbon. All heid sticks, guas as umbrellas, and to these were tied boughs of green. From every mouth came “La Republique, Vive la Republique!” In a few moments they had routed the municipal cavairy there stationed aud taken the rule in their own hands. This they dia as quickly as they had a few moments beiore invaded the Assemblie. I stopped one of the coolest and inquired into par- ticuiars, Iwas told that “tne nation had rushed into the Parliament and turned the meinbers out.”” This appeared somewhat startling; so when my informant had joined his vociferating party | stopped a man who did not look coo! at ali, and again requested to be told what was going on. He looked ou me as if he pitied my ignorance ana nationality, but told me that France had been “sold” by the Chamber, ministers, generals and governors pro- Muiscuously: The consequence was, nobody was go- ing to rule anybody for the future, aad he, for oue, ‘was going to burst open all the prison doors, let the innocent out and make room for a fresh batch of the guilty. 1 looked edified and strolled on. Certainly, never Was & government so effectually and calmly knocked down on the head. Nota shot, not a drop of blood; a polite, joyful demonstration, a shedding of happy tears, @ universal shake hands, a festive revolution, mutual congratulation. In one of the crowds a gentleman observed that he breathed freer than when he got up that morning, but he said this to a party who was very red in the face trom stand- ing in the hot sun, “Well, [don’t know how you manage,” answered the broiling man, “for the sun isawtul hot.” ‘This is the sun of Sedan; was the reply. Ir tis 1s not philosophy I do not know what to call it. After a defeat such as Sedan the hint which compared its sun to that of Austerlltz is somewhat killmg; but, then, it is all to the advantage of the republic now rising on burning ashes and streams of blood. Without so noted a loss as the battle of Sedan victory over the empire would have been postponed. AN OVATION, DECORATION AND NEGLIGE. Down poured the populace, up waved the flags, and round the statue which represents the city of Strasbourg clung patriots. The stone figure was soon covered with bouquets and flags. ‘Vive le Général Uhrich! Vive la Republique!” While the poe marched on to the the Hotel de Ville | went by @ reserved terrace, already thrown open, to the Tuileries. Isay I went, but was iiterally dragged alol The palace itself was closed to ihe public, and kept by the National Guard from the fury of the destroyers. However, the people had the satis- faction of waiking under the Pavilion de l’'Harloge and thence out into the inner court of the Carrou- sel. Here they wrote on the walls ‘Furnished Lodgings to Let.” I followed some of the garde mobile, who, in the name of the nation, desired General Meilinet, on guard, to give up the palace and order his troops to disperse. The General got up on @ chair and said he would retire wiih Mus men on condition that the National Guard took command 1n his place, but he warned the people that if one of his soldiers came to grief he would do his duty. “Down with the Emperor !” was the reply, and the General pointed to the roof of the palace to indi- cate that the imperial flag was already down. ‘The National and Mobile Guards then stood on duty, the crowd passed peacefully on. without demur, and @ young “Mobiot”? by the name of Ravenez was sent in to obtain the key of the private apartments from the person to whom it haa been left until asked for. It was im the possession of General Lepie’s secretary, Who was alone in the palace; the sycophants ana the courtiers, the dames and the valets nad all gone. “Sir, ah, sir,” said the young secretary to M. Ravenez, “here is the key; but the poor Empress has been cruelly abandoned by the cowards she has surfeited, They all ran away and leit her alone.” EUGENIE’S ROOMS. Tears struggled down his cheeks. M. Ravenez turned and entered the Empress’ room. There was an unmade bed, with the sheets thrown asiae on a smalltable, a printed prayer for the success of the army of France, a bunch of silver medals; in a small room further on the remains of a very frugal brenk- fast, of which only half had been eaten; a boiled egg, a piece of cheese, haif a bunch of grapes and bread. These remains were later In the day eaten by a man on guard, whose hunger mastered his bet- ter leelings. In one of the Empress’ salons was an agenda, or diary, in which it was usual to write the names of the stam on weekly attendance, The sheet, 4th Sep- tember, was torn down the middie. Had Eugenie done this in @ moment of sorrow at being left by those whose place it was to stand round her to the end, and share her fate for weal or for woe, as they had’shared her forvune? It 1s well that rulers should never ho!d courts, were it only to keep from human- ily the sight of such desertion. WHAT REPUBLICAN WOMEN WEAR. From the Tulleries 1 proceeded to the Hotel de Villa and walked all the wav by the sidg of @ pretiy, ‘ational uld ‘paren wi G 1n order to prove that women. °" on fear or hurt among democrats, 20Wever aavanced their opinions, A tall young blonde in deep », !8ck soon joined them. She looked almost inspired, #24 wie a clear voice in the general chorus.’ “Al then, with extendea arms, shouting ;‘AUX armes, citoyens.” Certainly that y 4 beauty of Hy een summers and glory ot ‘the for the first time in her life brought to 4‘H0r ae republican banuer and call for arms to ave. "8@ death of one at the war whose mourning a? oe we q The Nines of people right and left looked at ter with admiration, but her hazel eyes gushed a’ were fixed on the tricolor banner, All her idols smashed, France had been betrayed: some he! relative had been sacrificed; passion sat in the dove- like bosom, ‘aux armes—revenge |” Terrible, ter- rible 1s the awakening of a nation; but flercer still the fury of grief WRGAG confidence has lost its hold. BAI TH TREASURES, Rochefort and his friends had just arrived at the Hotel de Ville; he was not carried in @ vehicle on the shoulders of the people, as some have sald. Ho drove past me in an ope flacre, but it must be said that the wheels were heid by the palace for some time in order co get a sight of their hero, «> I heard what Gambetta said to the people who wanted to deface a magnificent portrait of Napoleon 1LL.:—*Believe me, iriends, he is not worth it; we have done with him; let’s turn his face to the wall.”” Thereupon he had the canvas turned over, and the people were content that this capital execution | Should suftice. SOCIETY NEAR THE BASTILE. From the Hotel de Ville I proceeded to the Bastile through the Faubourg St. Antoine. It seemed to me as if enthusiasm was leas torrid in this quarter. Joy was everywhere, but no effervescence. We must remark, however, that the old Basule vicinity has seen so many revolutions enthusiasm does wear out, like the gloss of a dress Coat; the stuff alone re- mains. Then business has been so bad in the work- shops. Will it get worse? Of course the republic is what workshops like; still the men are all going to war, Such were to me the correct tnterpreta- tions of concerned faces, All the soldiers were treated to drink by the happy populace. They turned into the numerous ca‘és by sixes ana sevens. Around the column of the Place of the Bastille a ring was formed of soldiers and mobiles. They all pro- ceeded to walk, hop, skip or gravely march in this circular order. It was intended to demonstrate Tee that the nation would form @ wall around erty. A Dor mot was perpetrated in front of the spiendia corner store belonging to the _Emperor’s tailor. All the gilt effigies of Napoleon Ill, had been defaced, all the medals and honorary mentions scratched out. “Well,” satd man, “who ever would have thought that the Emperor would be sans culottes 2” Worth had skedaddled. All the eagles on the diiter- ent monuments were saved by the presence of mind of a lover of the fine arts. He took out a pockes handkerchief and tied their heads up. They look like volatiles with a cold in their heads, that is all— nothing more aspiring. The equestrian statues of the ruler that France had given herself were covered with a sheet, a premature shroud for so much giory- PRESIDENT GRANT. Unusvally Quiet Day at the Presidential Cottage—Photograph Groupings of the Pre- sident and His Family—Pictures of His Favorite War Horses—Departure of the President on His Eastern Trip. LONG BRANCH, Sept. 24, 1870. ‘This has been one of the quietest days of the sea son at the Presidential cottage, that is to say there has been calls from no special celebrities, and no business transacted of special interest. This after- noon, however, was quite a busy one, a good portion of it being occupied in taking photograplic groups of the President and his family. The group- ings were all very fine, and present the President in the rural quiet of his cottage life, amid the plea- santly peaceful surroundings of his wife and chil- dren—the poetry of peace, in fact, with the-Presi- dent as its grand embodiment. One of the groups Was quite similar to the celebrated steel print of Washington aud his family. Included in one of the’ groups was @ son of Senator Cole, of California. Pictures of the President's horses and carriages were also taken, including his celebrated horse Cincinnati, his favorite riding horse during the war. On Monday to be added to the list will be taken the picture of his pony, Jett Davia, which, as 1s well known, was one of his favo- rite war studs. The photographs were taken by Mr. G. W. Pack, of New York, who, in this spectaity of photographing, as also in taking cottages und oceam and landscape views, enjoys unrivalied repute. The President will leave here on Monday morning on his Eastern trip, the programme of which was fully set forth in my yesterday’s letter. His depart ure will be the signai for the final winding up of the season. Next week will find the last summer hotel, the Howland House, closed, and probably but two or three cottages left. HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN. A Minister Sent on the Island for Six Months Charged with Beastly Habiis. On Friday night as oM™cer Henderson, of the Eighth precinct, was patroiling his post in West Houston street, he discovered a man dressed in the garb of a minister approach several little boys and girls who were playing on the sidewalk and en- deavored to fondle them, at the same time entering into @ conversation with them. Interrogaung the children the oficer ascertained the strange individ- ual had endeavored to induce them to enter an alleyway with him for immoral purposes. . Upon receiving the above information the officer took him in custody and conveyed him tothe sta- tion house, corner of Prince and Wooster streets, when he was detained all night on a charge of qis- orderly conduct. He gave his name as John Saun- ders, age thirty-five, and a resident of Boston, and admitted being an Eptscopal minister, having charge of a congregation in that city, Waile on the way to the station house he admitted to the officer that he was addicted to one of the most beastly and inhuman habits Known against nature, the particulars of which are unfit for publication. ‘The prisoner, who was dressed in broadcioth, imv- ing @ Cout buttoned closely up in the neck, with jarge flowing sandy beard, was arraigned before Justice Shandley at Jefferson Market yesterday, and committed to the Island for six months, but will not probably serve that time, ag he has influential and wealthy friends in this city who are already inter- bees, themselves in his behalf. A few nights since Saunders was found by an oflicer of the Fifteenth precinct lying on a@ bench in Washington Parade Ground, insensibly drank, and conveyed him to the station house, where he was detained all night, and upon being arraigned at Jefferson market was committed to answer the charge, and gavea lawyer his valuable gold watch to get him discharged. He offered as an excuse for his conduct that he had taken an overdose of opium, and, lying down on one of the benches in the park, was overcome and fell asleep. A Census Manufactured in a Newspaper Office—Its Accuracy Denied by Marshal Sharpe. New York was yesterday morning startled by the appearance, in one of the papers in this clty, of the figures supposed to represent the population of the twenty-two wards complete. No oue seemed to know exactly whether it was @ joke or intended as a practical representation of the people, but it ‘was evidently unsatisfactory, and proved, before the day ‘was out, to be an ignis yatwus, The census, as it has been published, is not only incomplete, but 1s notoriously Incorrect, and tne® returns Were not obtained at the Marsnal’s office. General Sharpe says he has from the first been anx- tous to produce an accurate censns of the city. The fact that any other return would be most injurious to him as a pubitc man will naturally follow; any sab- serviency to party on his part shows this. The De- pew census drew down on the author thereof so great an amount of odtum that it is scarcely Possible to conceive that any public olficer at the present day, no matter how great @ partisan he might be, would invoke on him- Self the reprobation of the whole community by any such attempt as depriving the citizens of their just represeutation. Marsnal Sharpe denounces the report of the census return, as itis supposed to be, to some extent, in the tissue of a morning journal, yesterday, as entirely unauthorized by him and false in most important particalars. The returns of abouy eighteen election districts, given by the paper alluded to, were estimated by an energetic and in- ventive attaché. EXTRAORDINARY ATHLETIC FEAT. Contesting for the Champlonship—The Longest Standing Jump on Record. ‘The jumping match for $1,000 and the champlon- ship of America came off at Butterfleld’s driving track, near Utica, N. Y., on Friday afternoon, the contestants being Eaward Sarles, of Sing Sing, and Charles H. Loomis, of the former city. The chal- lenge was extended by Loomis, after ascertaining that Sarles had carried off the laurels from “Bob”? ‘Way (the then champion jumper) by @ jump of thir- teen feet two inches, made ata regular match in Binghamton, N. Y., on the 30th of last July, which was chronicled in the HERALD ut the time. The affair on Friday was wituessed by several hun- dred speciators including many “sports,” nearly all of whom bet their “bottom dollar” on Loomis, whose victory they regarded as certain. Aiter the prelitainartes had been arranged, Loomis Jumped tirst and covered thirteen feet one inch and a hall, Saries. followed, springing over a space of thirteen feet five inches and Cero) beating his best practice distance and making the longest] spirit level stand- jump on record.
