Tae Sosvrss or Paris are in ruins, What do the ‘‘Moblots,” who are described ‘n our special cable letter, care for the beau- \iful? Nothing. It hurts their eyes. Tae Democratic REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLE is still moving Spain and the Iberian peninsula. Radicalism will soon come forth to assert its complete independence within Spain and Por- tugal. It isto be hoped that the regults i ‘be more pleasing to humanity than thése which have presented in Paris for so far since the latest French revolution. A Free Crrizen oF Paris went into 2 café to drink a glass of wine—to drink, perhaps, to the success of the new régime. He took out a fifty franc bill to pay for it. He was fol- lowed from the café and robbed and murdered by the “Moblots.” That bill was their bill of rights, or by right. See all about the ‘‘Mob- lots” in our special cable letter. Wak or Races 1n Norra Carorina.—The people of the Old North State have just es- caped what at one time threatened to be a very serious armed conflict between organized bands of whites and of blacks, growing out of an attempted ejectment of a colored man from @ plantation and his being wounded in the strife. Our correspondent at Richmond gives the particulars of this little war, which luckily ended without serious consequences. We re- joice to learn that peace is restored. Tue Paris “‘Mosiots” ordered a metal shield to be taken down from the balcony of one of the houses. They thought it was an imperial insignia. It was a fire insurance office badge. The ‘‘Moblots” don’t want that either, It was ‘‘all right” to ke it down. Our special cable letter tells of it. Bismarox’s Mopgsty.—‘‘From Germany no disturbance of the European peace is to be feared.” So says the Primé Minister of a country that has been now within five years a party to two gigantic wars, and that seeks to make the second what it made the first—a war of conquest and aggrandizement. These are perbaps the guarantees of a peaceful disposi- tion. everybody else must be bound over to keep the peace and Germany slone can be trusted is vuaracteriatic. Our telegraphic letters from the neighbor- hood of Paris reveal a state of things which has had no parellel, perhaps, in the whole his- tory of mankind, certainly not in the history of great cities.. Without, destruction glares upon the doomed city and is ready to burst. Within, she is attacked by an enemy more dan- gerous, certainly not less destructive, than the enemy without. Poor Paris! Poor France! To-day, when we had begun again, to believe that Paris was France, and that salvation was within her walls; to-day, when many had be- gun to hope that the slege of the most beauti- ful of modern cities, the most beautiful city, perhaps, the world has ever known, was about to give another and noble illustration of repub- lican virtue, we have to read the sad and paintul record that Paris has turned against herself, is burying her own bright hopes, is giving fresh proof that virtue in the ancient sense is to be sought in vain among the debris of the second empire. Paris is surrounded by the hosts of Ger- many, and the populace: is at war with the government. It isa house besieged and a house divided against itself. So long as Paris presented a calm, Grm and united front to the foe France hoped and her numerous sympa- thizers in all lands hoped; but now, that the strength which ought to have been directed against the foe has become self-destructive, hope must give place to despair. General Trochu is not in the position of General Bona- parte when he made sharp work with the sections, or in the position of the honored Lafayette when he placed Louis Philippe on the throne. On those occasions Paris, although in a state of revolution within, was not besieged by an enemy without. General Trochu cannot now play the part of Monk or Lafayette. It is not impossible for him to crush the enemy within and to restore some- thing like order. But when the shot and shell of the besiegers is about to fall in torrents on the doomed city it is not a time to turn the soldiers against the populace. General Trochu is in circumstances of peculiar diffi- culty and danger. If he fights against the populace the work of the Prussian invaders will be made proportionally easy; but what makes the situation more serious is this—the soldiers may fraternize with the populace, and the gates of the city, if not opened to tne foe by the Commander-in-Chief, may be opened by the leaders of the mob. If the rising in the city be one-half as serious as it is ‘reported to be General Trochu has but one course before him that is safe and wise—he must surrender and trust to the clemency of the conqueror. So far as we can see at present the surrender of Paris has become as desirable in the in- terests of humanity as it is necessary in point of fact. We are still willing to believe that things are not so bad inside Paris as they seem tobe; but whether they are or are not the prolongation of this now unequal struggle is to be reprobated. Prussia cannot halt until Paris raises the flag of distress; and the situation has become such that he who is re- sponsible for not raising this flag is the enemy of his country. It is safe, we think, to conclude that with the surrender of Paris the war will end. Strasbourg and Metz will bow to fate, and the yet uninjured cities will see the propriety of making an and of unnecessary bloodshéd. It is not our opinion that Germany will be so un- just as some people seem to imagine, Count Bismarck’s terms for an armistice are not so severe as they seem. He demands as a pre- liminary to an armistice that all the fortresses in Alsace and Lorraine be delivered over to Prussia, as well as Fort Mount Valerien, at the walls of Paris. These terms seem harsh to the Parisians, and a proclamation has already been issued to the French people, signed by Crémieux, Glais-Bizoin and Fouri- chon announcing the purpose of the govern- ment to resist to the last extremity, but all things taken into account, who can say that these demands are too much? Asa preliminary to serious negotiations and to a cessation of hos- tilities he might have made a larger request. He might have demanded admission to Paris. He has not done so—he has not sought to un- necessarily wound the pride of the French people. Near as he is to the absolute occupa- tion of the French capital the conqueror is willing to halt and make peace without its walls. If the men now in authority are wise they will yield at once. Surrender now will save the city, and it will save as well the spirit of the nation. It ought to be borne in mind, too, that the conditions laid down by the Count are not intended to be permanent. Because Prussia demands the surrender of all the fortresses in Alsace_and Lorraine and the possession of Fort Mount Valerien it does not at all follow that Prussia will make any at- tempt to retain these. It is manifest to every person of common sense that Prussia has no such intention. These forts she demands as a means of security and as a pledge of good faith. It is possible that Prussig may insist on the permanent possession of Strasbourg and the destruction of Metz; but of course she will retire from the neighborhood ot Paris 80 soon asa treaty of peace is signed by she proper authorities ; nor is it at all likely that Bismarck will mar bis good work by annexing useless territory and compelling the alle- giance of an unwilling people. At allevents France now seems to be at the mercy of the foe. Resistance on the part of the French people is vain. The world cries for peace. Prussia, after the most magnificent campaign on record—a campaign which will make future generations think lightly of the brilliant campaigns of Napoleon and Wellington—is willing to be magnani- mous. If France does not now yield and make with the conqueror what terms she can her folly will stand forth quite as conspicuous as her weakness, Under free republican institutions the French people may yet recover and resume somewhat of their ancient import- ance; but for the present the fates are against them, and bow they must. Curar Hovsss.—Two hundred houses were sold on Lexington avenue in this city at an average of five hundred dollars apiece the other day. Here is a startling answer to those who talk of the terribly high price of real estate. The only drawback on the above The cool assumption of the Premier that | transaction is that the purchasers of the houses have got to take them away within thirty days, so that the authorities may opena e’yeete Uses ef the Ubians. The situation about Paris remains without any important alteration. The Prussians are evidently getting ready for a decisive assault and the Parisians inside are as evidently ren- dering themselves by internal dissensidn un- able to resist the assault when it comes, The fortress of Toul, which has been under- going siege for some time, has finally surren- dered, and a very acceptable force of Prus- sians is thus rendered available for duty in the siege of Paris. Tho ublans continue to scour the country with very damaging effect. Their appearance even in very small bodies has heretofore been hailed as the advance of a large body of infantry, and thereby has caused great terror among the villagers or country people where they appeared ; but the true character of the force is beginning to be appreciated. Two small villages between Mczitres and Epinal, on the northeast relatively from Paris, were recently destroyed by them ; the town of Pithiviers, on the southeast, was pillaged by them, the in- habitants having fled on their approach, and another village in the northwest has been bom- barded by them; but at Orleans, where a stout front was presented, they have made no demonstration as yet. The relative positions of these places indicate pretty clearly the uses to which this admirable cavalry arm of the service has been put. They leap about the board like the knights in a game of chess, picking up pawns, capturing small detachments, making requisi- tions and taking care of the rear by keeping a sharp lookout for the appearance of any new army of importance, while checkmate is being vigorously prosecuted by the heavy pieces at Paris. In the meantime the sieges of Strasbourg, of Metz and of Montmedy continue, the peace negotiations give no nearer promise of a satis- factory conclusion, and Marseilles, Toulon and other places far away from the present scene of operations are preparing for defence, A German Steamer Seared by a French Gunboat. Just outside of the line at sea to which United States jurisdiction extends lay cosily, watching an opportunity to grab the German steamer Hermann, or anything else carrying a German flag which might come along, a French gunboat. The Hermain, a merchant steamer, duly announced to sail for Ham- burg, went down the bay very quietly at three o'clock yesterday morning, but, discov- ering the French gunboat off the Sandy Hook lightship, very sagaciously returned to Quar- antine. It was the wisest thing, perhaps, which the German steamer could do. It only shows that, through the weakness of Congress, we cannot hoist the American flag upon foreign vessels, as we ought to do, and thus secure their protection from foreign maraud- ers. As the French gunboat lay outside the three marine leagues which international law provides for there was nothing left for the Hermann but to take her chance of a good race with the armed French vessel when she got out to sea—and a very poor chance it would be—or to return to her moorings. od However, it is only a case of ‘Hit for tat,” after ‘all, which in these troublous times we must expect. The Prussian Consul succeeded in obstructing the departure of a French steamer, the Lafayette, the other day. French guns now absolutely stop the departure of a German steamer from this port. The pity is that we cannot enable foreign vessels to sail under our own flag, and thus afford them the protection of our government, if a government has really any protection to offer whose maritime interests have been permitted to go to the dogs and whose national flag is hardly to be found anywhere upon the ocean, Trochu AND Vinoy have been forced to cannonade in the streets of Paris. It was against the ‘‘Moblots.” Good! They had the cannon in the cause of order for the present even. Svoogss oF THE AMERICAN InstiTUTE.—We are glad to perceive that the exhibition of the American Institute has been a remarkable pecuniary success this season. The deduc- tion to be drawn from this fact is that the people are getting to ap- preciate every day more and more the interests of science, art and invention, all of which are represented in the American Insti- tute in a manner worthy of all praise. We have not had an exhibition in New York for a long time so varied and so valuable in the immense number of specimens of progressive art and manufacture presented for the study of the public. It is satisfactory to know that it has been supported to an extent far beyond previous exhibitions. pee Tag Paris ‘‘MosLots,” or city rowdies, are enjoying a ‘‘red” saturnalia on their own account, It is a blood red enjoyment, as will be seen from our special telegram letter from the French capital. Exgoution oF Luis AYgSTERAN BY THE Spanrarps.—Our Havana correspondent fur- nishes us with the particulars of the arrest, trial and execution of the young Cuban patriot, Luis Ayesteran. An energetic effort was made by his many friends in Havana to have his life spared, but without suceess. The same cruel power which deprived the gallant Aguerro brothers of their lives and sent the venerable Goicouria to his grave before his time, robbed the yauthful Ayesteran of his life. His bear- ing at the place of execution was calm and dignified and he met death as became a hero and a patriot. A Hoperut Sien.—It is reported from France that the young and raw soldiers of the Garde Mobile stood their ground and fought steadily when the zouaves ran away. These zouaves and the zouave mania have simply debauched the French army, and if it takes a fresh start from the people now it may do better. jae i Hoyors to ApMirAL Farragut’s MEMo- RY.—The Wall street brokers will make a strict holiday of Saturday next, out of respect to Admiral Farragut’s memory, the several boards having decided to adjourn over from Friday to Monday in order that all might be afforded an opportunity of participating in the grand memorial funeral ceremonies. ing Week. In the coming week we are to have another series of fine yacht races in the neighborhood of Sandy Hook, and in the week after the sea- son will close appropriately with a banquet tendered to Mr. Ashbury, as an expression of the good feeling toward him of the members of the New York Yacht Club. The first race of the week is fixed for Tues- day—and is to be from the point of the Hook twenty miles to windward and back—for the cup presented by Mr. Ashbury. This race will be sailed according to the rules of the club. The race on Wednesday for a cup pre- sented by Rear Commodore Douglas will be similar in all conditions to the race of Tues- day, except that the rules of the club will be adhered to only in regard to canvas, and no time allowance will be made for difference of size. A notice from the committee tp the owners of the competing yachts fixes the time and place of rendezvous, the time being nine o'clock A. M. and the place the ‘‘Horseshoe.” On Thursday there will be a match race between the Cambria and the Idler, still for twenty miles to windward, but mak- ing the lightship the starting point, and on Friday the Magic will sail the same course against the Cambria. We further hear of the proposition of a gentleman fond of the sport to give a cup for which a fifth race may be made for Saturday. In regard to the two match races named above there are conditions of limitation touching the time in which they must be completed. In the race of the Cam- bria and Idler the course must be made in five hours and a half, and in that of the Cambria and Magic in five hours and three-quarters. Both of these will be peculiarly interesting races. We cannot but admire the spirit with which Mr. Ashbury tries conclusions again and again soresolutely with vessels that have hitherto beaten him as have these two. It is also worthy of all admiration to see the gallant little Magic daring a giant antagonist to exactly the kind of race in which the giant has his advantage—to a race that must be made in a breeze strong enough to give a big boat all the benefit of her size. It is to be noted, moreover, that both the Magic and the Idler are boats of the class of which English yachtmen have taken occasion to express an indifferent opinion in calling them ‘racing machines.” If now one or both these boats should again triumph in rough water, with @ good wind, over so flne a specimen of the English model as the visitor now in our waters, yachtmen on the other side must perforce re- vise their opinion as to these American racing machines. As the season draws to a close we appreciate the more how peculiarly brilliant and exciting have been its many events, The June regatta, the fine, close race across the Atlantic; the magnificent contest for the national trophy, the America’s Cup; the series of races at Newport—all these, while they have crowded the season with occasions and opportunities for fine achievement and display, have corre- spondingly worked up the spirit of our yacht- men and given the widest development to the love of this noble sport. And they have made an impressio! that vill not immediately pass Bway, bal ailieded inflyence fox many seasons, and perhaps permanently, in shaping the popular mind toward a recreation that performs its important part in keeping up the maritime spirit of the people. Already we hear of much activity that bas relation to next year, and the impulse that this brilliant season has given will be seen in a large number of new yachts, and doubtless in many experiments in construction, from some of which we may draw great improve- ments in the combination of speed and wea- therly qualities. Coustructors have not been uninterested spectators of the many problems presented in the contests of the season, and there is perhaps a full crop of thought to be realized in timber. Even across the water the influence of the exciting season here has been felt, and thus many visitors and many new yachts may help to give to another season an interest even greater than that which marks the season passing away. Te “Reps” in Paris are well named. Their hands are stained red with the blood of France if the revolutionary movements which our telegrams detail elsewhere and which they have inaugurated are carried out to the bitter end. Tag RELIGIOUS PRESS AND THE EUROPEAN Srrvation.—We give a few extracts from the columns of our religious cotemporaries touch- ing the situation in Europe. It will be seen that the Protestant journals denounce the King of Prussia for refusing to recognize the French republic in treating for peace and in- sisting upon recognizing the defunct empire of the last Napoleon. The Catholic papers be- labor the ex-Emperor for deserting the Pope as he deserted his own armies when he laid down his bloodless sword at the feet of the Prussian monarch. Itis evident the recusant Emperor has no friends. ‘Hit him again” seems to be the universal cry all over Chris- tendom. In Paris an old gentleman who was terror- ized by the ‘‘Moblots” endeavored to escape from them by joining in with their peculiar cry of patriotism. He was immediately asked for drink and forced to pay for his ‘equality and fraternity.” See our special cable letter from Paris. Our Spro1aL Fassions CoRRESPONDENCE from Paris, published elsewhere to-day, is very comprehensive, and, in some respects, very interesting. It tells us how the imperialism of dress style had gone, how the democratic system of toilet of almost ‘‘nothing to wear” was adopted by the people and was generally the don in vogue with the masses. Unhappy Paris! Once bright and brilliant, so “gal- lant in love and so dauntless in war,” how changed is your aspect to-day! Our fashions writer is forced to speak of war, of wounds and of poverty; but the special communica- tion supplies some few gleams of sunshine, notwithstanding, and will therefore be accepted kindly by the American public. Ovr SrrciaL CaBLe Lxrrsr from Paris re- ports a most extraordinary condition of affairs War, love, free democracy, the ‘‘Moblots,” murder, pillage, riot and drinks for ‘‘all hands” on every side. as existing in that city. What will come next¢ " NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1870.—TRIPLX SHERT, Chaes iu Parig-The End Appreaching. ‘Tee Miltary Operations in Branco—The | The Yachting Sonsow—Races of the Com-| The Gold in the National Treasery—The National Debt and the Interests ef the Country. The terrible war between France and Ger- many, while followed throughout the European Continent with its inevitable\ derangements of monetary and business affairs, is operating, and, from present indications, must operate, to enlarge the field ef our business transactions in every direction, on the land and sea, and to strengthen our national securities, and to widen the facilities of the Treasury in assisting the business interests of the country in their exchanges, and in the redemption of the national debt. Never in any period of the history of mankind has any nation enjoyed the advan- tages now possessed by the United States, in the race for supremacy in the regulation of the financial and commercial affairs of the globe. We may say, too, that under General Grant’s administration we are ina fair way to enter into this commanding position. Since the 4th of March, 1869, upon a greatly reduced schedule of taxations, #o largely, through General Grant's policy of re- trenchment and reforms, have the revenues been increased that we have had, in the hand- some figure of one hundred and seventy mil- lions of dollars, a reduction of the national debt. The extinguishment, too, is still going on ata rate exceeding ten millions a month, while retaining @ cash surplus in the Treasury, which, at the last report, including over a hundred millions in gold, was pearly, in the gross amount, one hundred and forty mil- lions, And here the question arises, why should this heavy surplus of money, drawing no interest, be held in the Treasury, when in the purchase of the national bonds for cancel- lation, not only does Mr. Boutwell secure the extinguishment of so much of the national debt, principal and interest; but when, in throwing his surplus funds into the general circulation, he contributes so much to the facilities of Western and Southern farmers and planters in the moving of their crops to the seaboard, so much to our merchants in the transportation of their goods in exchange and so much to the reduction of the premium on gold? ¢ We are gratified to see that Mr. Boutwell, in view of the increased money facilities required for our fall trade, has entered upon the experiment of enlarging his purchases of bonds to the extent of one or two millions per week. Thus his last week’s purchase was three millions, instead of the two millions advertised for, and for which the proposals amounted to $8,750,000, In this enlargement of his weekly purchases we see that General Grant, through his Treasury Secretary, has recognized the policy of so administering the finances of the Treasury as to favor the opera- tions of legitimate business throughout the country in the present season of activity, the general prospects of which on every side are fall of promise and encouragement to the people and the government. Under the Funding bill and the Currency bill, passed at the last session of Congress, a very considerable margin of discretion is given the Treasurer to contribute to the facilities of trade, in keeping the money market easy, while he is restricted against the excesses of a papdt clr lon. We think, however, that he might advantageously to the farmers and )iantefs of the country, at this season of the shipment of their crops, increase his weekly purchases of bonds to the extent of three, five, eight or ten millions or more. The floating capital of Europe, we see, is steadily drifting to this country through the pai | of the English money market. The money is lying in Lon- don, subject to order as fast as we are willing to exchange for it reliable securities and mer- chandise. But still a hundred millions of gold locked up in the Treasury is a loss of six millions a year to the govérnment in the interest which might be saved, while every million expended in the purchase of bonds is so much to the extinguishment of the national debt, principal and interest, and so much toward a restoration tothe specie standard, Nor is there any wisdom in keeping the idle surplus of a hundred millions of gold in the Treasury when there is no more danger of another such Wall street gambling experi- ment as the “gold corner” of that famous “black Friday” of last September. The administration has been and is doing well in the collection, safe keeping and disburse- ment of the public revenues and in the extinguishment of ‘the national debt. The policy, too, at this time, of a weekly increase of the sum set apart for purchase of bonds gives general satisfaction; but these pu chases, we repeat, might be advantageously enlarged to four or five, or even to eight or ten millions a week, with a revenue of a hun- dred millions of gold on hand and millions more coming in weekly. Surely, while our present excessive taxations aré continued, the surplus gold which they bring into the Treasury should be applied as fast and as far as possible to the payment of the national debt and to the encouragement of the general. business interests of the country. Tue ‘Paris ‘‘Mosiots” endeavor to parody the men of the time of Danton and Robespierre, This will be seen from our special cable letter. They may be yet forced to the guillotine. Can any party, however, be more violent than they are? Tuk BroapwaY PavEMENT.—The pave- meut nog on Broadway—the best we hava ever had there, and the best apparently that has ever been laid down on any street in this city—is already the result of an experiment looking to a change. Part of it is torn up opposite the City Hall, and workmen are put- ting down a plaster of concrete, as if to serve for the bed of a new structure. What is the purpose of this? Is it proposed to tear up the whole street in the same way ? Tue Youne Demooracy of Paris are set- ting a fine example for the Young Democracy of New York. Unable to rule, they are deter- mined to ruin. Our special telegram from Paris may give the ‘‘roughs” of this city an idea of how to do it, “Braok Fripay.”—This anniversary is the 24th of September, which was yesterday (Saturday), and a comparatively quiet day in Wall street, though full of doubts and misgiv- ings in reference to the “‘black Friday” in ‘aris—the blackest of the nineteenth century. ho Teeasury God The Nathan Mystery—Impertant Arrest ts Pennsylvania- The detectives have got hold of another clue which promises to lead them out of the laby- rinth in which they have been so long and fruitleasly groping in connection with the mur- der of Mr. Benjamin Nathan. This time light comes from the quarter of Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. According to telegraphic de- spatches received from there yesterday it appears that about the middle of last month stranger arrived there from nobody knew where; put up at a hotel, made inquiries about the Nathan murder ; corresponded with persons in New York and received money orders from them ; boasted to a fellow boarder that he knew all about the murder; knew where the “dog” was bought, and had it in his hand a few minutes before the murder was committed. These and other suspicious cir- cumstances about the man were communicated to the police authorities here, and detective Farley was sent on to Schuylkill Haven. The result was the arrest yesterday of the suspected individual, who gives his name as Kepler, and his previous business asa bar keeper in this city, The detective and his prisoner are to be here to-day. This arrest may lead to the solution of the terrible mys- tery, or it may prove another instance of the insane craving for notoriety which prompts weak-minded persons sometimes to connect themselves with great crimes. NEW JERSEY’S CHINAMEN. Captain Hervey’s New “Laundresses” af Home in Belleville—A Talk With Charlie Ming and Foreman Van Vorst—All Quice Along the Passaic—Tho Bellevillian Blas~ terers. Yesterday afternoon, with a view to discovering whether the violent wordy demonstrations of cer- tain parties residing in Belleville, N. J., relative to the corps of coolies recently introduced near by—in. Captain Hervey’s extensive laundry—had eventa- ated in anything more serious, and also to see how John Chinaman himself got along under the new order of things, a representative of the HERALD visited the place, in company with ‘a journalistic friend.

CRICKET. Return Match St. George, of New York, vs. Willows, of Brookiya—The Dragon Slayers Again Victorious—Score, St. George, 955 Willows, 67. The return match of the home and home game be- tween the aboye named clubs was played yesterday on the cricket grounds at Hudson City, and, like the previous contest, resulted in the defeat of the Wil- lows, tus time by 28 runs.

The wickets were pitched at noon, when the game opened with the Wil- lows at the bat. A stand was made by the two first batsmen—Filmer and Roebuck—but Norley’s bowling was “on the spot,” and thie inning, which was of short duration, closed for @ total of 67 runs, of which number Roebuck coutri- buted 15, Fulmer 11 and Holland and Hopkins 10 cach. The St. George eleven then assumed the defensive, and before tneir last wicket had fallen the telegraph indicated 95 runs in their favor, being 23 runs anead of the score mace by their opponents, Eastwood's bowling in this inning was remarkabiy good. There was no time to play @ second inain, 60 the match was determined by the firat, For St. George, Eyre, by heavy ge scored 16 runs, and Satterthwaste (not out) 15, while Noriey, in his usual brisk style placed 23 to his credit.

CLEAR DECKS. For two weeks past court has been held every fay in the Special Sessions by Justices Dowling ana Shandley and during that time nearly five hundred cases have been disposed of. Every case in the Cierk’s office has been tried, and the court adjourned esterday morning not icaving a case untried. Every offence against the Board of Health and att cases of cruelty to animals have been disposed of, thus relieving Mr. Bergh and his society of much anxiety. It 1s douptful if there is a eourt tn the State that can show such a clean record as the Special Sessions to-day, nor is there a court where business ta disposed of more promptly.
