Looking at all the facts of the case this seems to be the most reasonable explanation. If reason rules in the councils of the’ provisional government France will make peace. She éannot make it better. She may make it Worse, Mocs Teoun.es tN Pekin.—A despatch wag received here last night from Pekin, via St. Petersburg, to the effect that more outrages have been committed on religious houses in the former city. The latest announcement says that Catholic churches have been destroyed and that the goverament refuses to interfere. We hope these reports have been exaggerated, but we are sorry to say that recent manifesta- tions fa Pekin and other cities lead us to think otherwise. Tuan Simae or Parims—Ove Spero Re- port,—We publish to-day a letter by tele- graph from one of our correspondents describing the siege of Paris, in the form of a diary, from the 19th of September, carefully reciting all the incidents which occurred within the beleagured city up to the latest date. From this our readers will obtain « detailed and picturesque account of the events which are as new to tho gay life of Paris as they would be to New York to-day should an invading force cut of ovr supplies of luxe and refinement to which we have boeu ac- customed, and compel us to dispense with gas, to shut up our saloons at n and render our theatres as sileat as th : All these mistoriunes have beisila | since armed Germany has invest and they are admirably told, the herdie conduct of the people, in our tele- Graphic lwiter jo day, Tho French Repabilio—The 1ort-Sigta Pelicy of Bismarck and Ciladstenc. informal cenference between Count Bismarck events have taken ashape which promises France. As the agent of the French republic the mission of M. Thiers to the great neutral Powers in behalf of peace has so far borne no fruit. stone, gave him the cold shoulder, and at St. Petersburg the Czar positively declined to see him, At Vienna this French envoy extra- ordinary, it appears, has some hopes of a favorable bearlng; bat we apprehend that with Austria, as with England and Russia, M. Thiers will accomplish nothing. The cautious Bismarck has declared that the great diplo- matle diMiculty disclosed in his interview with Favre is the want of a responsible government in France. Nor could Prussia afford to await, under an armistice, the creation of a respon- sible French government through a national election without the equivalent in advance of materia! guarantees, which Favre and his collearues were incompetent or decidedly dis- inclined to giva. So Bismarck has given way again to Von Moitke, and so the war goes on; and Paris is to be bombarded, and its beautiful monuments of art and taste—the admiration of the world— are, perhaps, to be destroyed. How a re- sponsible government for Franco, in the sease suggested by Bismarck, is to be secured through the prosecution of the war against the prosent de, facto government we cannot divine, except through the reinstatement of the Bourbons or the Bonapartes. Indeed, we fear that this is the hope and the design of Prussia, and likewise of England. It is appa- rent that Mr. Gladstone bas no confidence in a French republic, and has no purpose of en- couraging an example so antagonistic to the good old monarchical system of Iaw and order. The Czar looks with scorn and con- tempt upon the revival in France of that hideous revolutionary French legend of “liberty, equality and fraternity ;” and even Count Bismarck, far advanced as he is in modern ideas beyond his royal confederates, speaks of Favre and his colleagues as ‘‘the gentlemen of the pavement.” Doubtless, however, the overruling objection of Bismarck and Gladstone against a recognition of the existing de *facto French republican govern- ment lies in the fear that it may prove the terror of Europe, like the republic of 1793, or the signal for a general continental upheaval like that inaugurated with the Parisian repub- Tican restoration of 1848. Here, we are convinced, is the difficulty of Bismarck In coming to terms with Favre, aod here is the secret of the shameful indifference of Gladstone looking to the indefinite prese- eution of this deplorable and barbarous war in France. Bui Bismarck and Giadstone are equally short-sighted in their false theory that a French republic in 1870 means the French republic of 1793. It means notbing of the kind. The lessons learned by the intelligeut French people from their first republic, the Bourbons, the second republic and the Bona- partes, and from our great and gloriously suc- ceasfal war for the Union, have qualified thein to follow oar example ia a republican govern- ment, Give them, as far as practicable under their different local divisions and conditions, a government framed upoa the model of ours, and France will become as peaceable aa the United States. Nothing, in fact, can be so well calculated to make Frauce the most pacific of the European nations towards her neighbors asa govern- ment like that of ‘‘the great American repub- dic.” The Freach are a quick and somewhat restless people, fond of ainusements, excite- ments and sensations, and if they cuonot find these things in peace they seek them in war, first Napoleon understood them thoroughly; for when not engaged in a foreign war he was always con- ng amusements and sensations at home. The last Napoleon a!so thoroughly understood the French people in these things, and in adopting the y imperial role that ‘tthe em- pire is pes his schemes of popalar di Such were his improvements of Paris und other cities, his * he was wonderfully fruitful in sion. naval depois, bis railways, his universal positions, his grand fees, his grand army di plays, and, above all, his plediscites. At inter- vals the demands of French military glory called for a taste of war, and this he gave them in Algeria, the Orimea, Lialy, China and Mexi. His last plebiscite, however, was so great a success that it led him into this ruia- ous war, and now France waats peace and a republican government. Give her peace and give her a republic on the model of our government—a president elected every four years, a Corps Ligislatit elected, like our national House of Representa- tives, every two years; a Senate lke ours, with the members elected for six yoars, but so classed that one-third are elected every two years ; give ber a free presa, free speech and relieve her of a standing army, and give the Freach departments something analagous to our State institutions, with their governors, legislatures and city, town and county officers, all elected every year or two, and you will give the Freach people employment enough and seusations and excitements enough to keep them busy in their domestic affairs all the tlme. They will be kept so busy in their elections and so fully excited in the of parties, factions and cliques for the spoils, and they will be 30 well satis- fied with this government ‘‘of the people, by the people and for the people,” that they will not care any more to fight the Germans. They contests will have, as we have had and have now, and are likely to have fora thousand years to come, their bands too full of thelr own a! igo wars in any quarter, nd this view of the French repuli- irs to en- gage in for We coum | ; | Jie to the doubting Bismarek and the timid and | apprete Giadstoue.

Bismarck and Gladstone in their fears of a French republic In 1870 are far behind the spirit and progress of the age. The Situation in Frauce—Wanted, a General, view to note in the great war going on in France, Paris and the investing lines are where they were yesterday, and continuo interchanging shots, The Prussians are pushing their works at Meudon and at Sevres, but otherwise they are so inactive above ground that the idea suggests itself that they may be diligently at work underground, pro- bably preparing a mine to blow the bottom out ofsome of the formidable forts confronting them. The Frenoh, on the otber hand, seem to be diligently at work mainly above ground, sending out balloons in great num- ber, and with the resources of French ingenuity they may shortly discover a mode of rendering them effective as implements of war, The rear defences of tho Prussians against the expected attack from the south are going on at Toury, Chartres, Maintenon and Malesherbes—polnts about twenty-five or thirty miles south and southwest of Paris— where they appear to be massing a heavy force. An army of the republic is said to be marching against them, and a groat battle is imminent at Toury, the centre of the rear defences. With the imperfect organization of the new Army of the Loire it will prove a dubious experiment. Everything depends upon the first blow, and a disaster will tend greatly not only to weaken tho Wrench force physically but to destroy its esprit and to depress the spirits and enthusiasm of the At the same time a blow should be struck quickly, for the Prussians are no doubt fortifying themselves in their new position, and will soon be ready to pre- sent as imposing a front to the Army of the Loire as General Grant presented to Joe Johnson's army of relief during the siege of Vicksburg, when, at Big Black river, twelve miles in the rear, he erected fortifications for the rebel general to batter against as formid- able as the works of the rebels them- selves at Vicksburg. The Army of the Loire appears, however, to muster a goodly number of men, although their organization and experience as soldiers are necessarily imperfect. This would be no insuperable difficuity, however; for, after all, raw recruits in their first battle fight with a bardihood and daring that caution generally smothers in older veterans, What the Army of the Loire and all of the armies of France need isa general. The capture of Ubrich at Strasbourg deprives them of the services of one of the ablest men in the army, and they should make an effort to have Garibaldi this appointment have entrusted too much to an abstraction—to the mere prestige of the Garibaldi name of ten years ago. If there is not much fighting to report in the war sitaation this morning there is, at least, much talking. Gambetta, who eseaped from Paris in a balloon, has arrived at Tours, and has greatly added to the enthusiasm among the people by-a proclamation, in which he shows that Paris is impregnable. There are five hundred and sixty thousand armed soldiers within the city, not counting the marines who man the heavy guas on the forts. The foun- deies are casting cannon, the women are making cartridges, the raw troops are drilling continually behind the inner works, and there is no danger of sedition or siarvation, If these statements are true, and are not the enthasi- astic ebullitions of French optimism, we ought to hear soon of a sortie in force—a sortie of fifly thousand men, backed by a heavy artil- lory firo—upon the weakest pari of the Prus- sian line, The National Commercial Couvention. The unanimity with which the members of the Southern Commercial Convention agreed lo change iis name to the Nutionat Commorcial Convention is an encouraging si of the times, It was well that the suggestion should come from the South, and Mr. Macode, of Arkansas, was right in declaring it eminently proper, inasmuch the Convention had assumed a national character, to drop the old sectional and objectionable name. Some reso- Intions offered at the Couveution indicate a certain confusion of ideas as to the limits of the aid that can be legitimately extended by the federal government to State and individual enterprises. For many obvious reasons it is right enough to ask the general government to help the project of establishing permanent levees on the Mississippi river, That project is one of national importance. But the propo- sition to memorlallze Congress in regard to the James River and Kanawha Canal survey, with a view of furnishing a canal one hundred feet wide, eizht feet deep and carrying boats of five hundred tons, overlooks the fact that, beneficial as the completion ef such a canal would be to Virginia and to the stockholders of the canal company, this undertaking is one of those internal improvements which govern- ment should leave to States and individuals. The next yearly meeting of the Convention will be held at Baltimore. ag Tug CuBaAN , DeMonsirration,—This day two years agoa portion of the people of the island of Cuba flang the banner of the repub- lic to the breeze and announced their deter- mination to be free. For two long and, to them, dreary years they have fought a brave and resolute fight, struggling against disad- vantages, laboring to overcome obstacles, and fighting singly and unaided against a fierce and a relentless enemy. Yet amid all tho mishaps, trials, misfortunes and tribulations which those struggling to secure freedom have had to fight against, the spirit of the Cuban people to-day remains as undaunted andas defiant as ever. Last night the second auniversary of the proclaim: ing of the republic was held in Irving Hall.

The fraits of the bestowal of the right of suffrage upon the colored population will be partially developed in the Northern States atthe State elections occurring to-day. In Pennsylvania and Ohio the colored vote has been counted upon as affecting the results for Congressmen in several of the close districts , For example, in the Ohio Third district (where the majority for General Schenck, republican, in 1868 was only four hundred and sixty over Vallandigham) the introduction of a quasi negro rights man in the person of Colonel Lewis D. Campbell as the democratic candi- date is calculated to equalize the colored vote in the district, unless the reppblican managers are more adroit in manipulating the newly fledged voters than their democratic competi- tors. There is no doubt the high protectionists will strain every nerve to re-elect thelr cham- pion, Schenck; and, on the other hand, the democrats will undoubtedly put their shoulders to the wheel to throw into Congress a liberal free trader like Campbell. It may be asked what the negro vote has to do with a high tariff or free trade? To answer that question is precisely where the difficulty lies; for any class of voters who are in the market will find purchasers among the political managers on either side. As the case now stands in Schenck’s district the republicans, after a careful canvass, claim his re-election by a slightly increased majority over that of 1868, Asa general thing the canvass in Ohio has been conducted in a more gentlemanly spirit thap that in some other States nearer home ; and whatever the result may be it ought to be regarded as the honestly expressed will of the people-—taking the colored vote as about equally balanced. In Pennsylvania some animation has been thrown into the campaign upon this very sub- ject of the ‘negro vote. Ono of the leading republican papers in the State, the Phila- delphia Press, discusses the subject in an elaborate article in yesterday's issue. The whole number of colored voters in Phila- deltphia is estimated at five thousand, although complaints are made that sufficient atlention has hot been paid to the registry of the colored men to justify such acalcnlution. Ifthe can- vaes had been conducted with the spirit that usually attends a Presidential campaigao it is not likely the negro vote would materially affect the result; but as it is it will doubtless have some influence in the closely contested Congressional districts—such, for instance, as the Third, where John Moffatt, demoorat, bad but one bundred and twenty-seven majority over Leonard Myers, republican, and in the Fifth—which inclades Bucks county—where John R. Reading, democrat, had but forty-one majority over Caleb N. Taylor, republican. But whether the colored vote will or will aot affect the result in Pennsylvania and Ohio to- day it is evident that it has been the subject of some anxiety by both parties. Inthe latter part of last week a nnmber of colored men were arrested at the wharf in Philadelphia on the al of the Baltimore boat, charged with visiting Philadalpbia to register and vole the republican ticket at the election to-day. This arrest has given rise to crimination and ce- crimination not very creditable, according to authority, to the poliiical situation. But while the democrats allegg that these colored people were hired by republicans to go to Philadelphia to vote tho republicans de- clare that the whole affair was concocted by democrats on the eve of ion to cast odium upon the republican party and ils candidates, Beall this as it may, it is certain that the party leaders in all parts of the country are making strenuous forts to enlist the colored voters in their ranks ; and theic test to-day ia Ohio and Pennsylvania will partially indicate how far their influence extends in two of the great States north of Mason and Dixon’s line. ar local TH AN Fain. —Preparations are being made on a very extensive scale for the German fair to be held on the L7th of October, at the Armory of the Thirty-seveni regiment, on the { corner of Thirty-sixth street and Broadway. A j conspicuous feature of the fair will be a num- -ber of fine pictures, exhibited or donated by Mr, Marshall O. Roberts and other eminent citizens.

This humane ob- ject naturally commends itself to the enthasi- asm of the German resideats in New York and to the sympathies of their American friends. No doubt the fair will prove worthy of a city which has so numerous a populatioa of Ger- wan birth and origia as to give it a claim to be called the third German city in the world, Tur Bovine Morper Tetat.—There is a murder trial now going on in Ulster county which presents a new feature ip law cases, A deaf and dumb negro namei Bodine killed Mr. Hasbrouck in February last. The cireum- stances are yel familiar to our readers, and Bat his counsel in were peculiarly horrible. court yesterday entered the ‘plea that the prisoner, being an uneducated deaf mute, he, the counsel, cannot communi- cate with him, and cannot give bim a ciear idea of his right to challenge jurors to be swora ia his own behalf or convey to his mind any idea of the different degrees of homicide. The counsel therefore makes the argument that, under the law, he ought not to be tried, because he is not competent to understand the details of the case nor prepare a proper defence. A jury was immediately empanalled to take evidence as to the condition of the prisoner's mind, The testimony indicated that the negro contd express his wisbes by pantomime very intelligibly, and that he was naturally very malicious and cruel. The trial was post- poned, but the prisoner will probably be sent back to the asylum—aunother instance of out- rageous lack of equity, jastice or salety in the law, so long ag its quibbles are as potent as ita ma Fish aud Robeson are concerned, seem Lo have wident having expressed no foundation, the P himself williag to keep them if the to stay.

N. Kelley, of New York, in 1854, and was verified by our government in 1858 by order of Congress. This is the route originally pointed out by Humboldt as likely to afford one of the best solu- tions of the great problem of inter- oceanic communication by means of a ship canal. General Michler, of the United States Army, had charge of the government surveys, and most successfully ran his levels over the entire route from ocean to ocean, subatan- tially confirming the surveys of Mr. Keliey. This route is about one hundred and thirty miles long. With some slight improvements of dredging it is suitable for navigation through- out nearly two-thirds of the distance. ‘I'he re- mainder is rock-entting through the moun- tains, with but two miles of tuonelling. The distinguishing foatures of this over all other routes proposed are its feasibility without locks and depth and width of water sufficient to pass ocean steamers and sailing vessels of the largest class, including the Great Eastern itself, These results cannot be obtained any- where else for anything like a reasonable ex- penditure of money. The plans and maps of the Atrato route were submitted by Mr. Kelley to the {nstitutions of civil engineers and the geographical societies of Paris and London in 1856, for examination, and were discussed with very satisfactory re- sults. The late Robert Stephenson, Brunel, Rennie, Fitz Roy and other able engineers took partin the discussion, Mr. Stephenson, the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in London, declared “‘that Mr. Kelley had pro- duced more intelligible information upon the subject than had hitherto been given to the world.” What the commerce of the world demands is a ship canal deep and wide enough to paas from ocean to ocean vesseis of the largest class during any state of winds and tides, aad, if possible, without locks. If Commander Self- ridge should fail to find, in his next expedition, a practicable route, we can fall back on the Atrato and Truando route, which, together with its other advantages, affords an abundant supply of water without locks. Death of Superintendent Jourdua. The demise of this efficient officer will doubtless be severely felt in the Police Depart- ment, Although his term of service in his re- cent high capacity was. comparatively short he was a part of tho effective service of our police system for many years, and was, in fact, ia the development of his own skill, activity and devotion to duty, the embodi- ment of the system itself, especially in its de- tective branch. Since his appointment as Police Superintendent he manifested an extra- ordinary resolution Ia the performance of bis exacting obligations, and, indeed, even ia the face of sickness and doath was true to all which bis position demanded of him. it is questionable, however, whether an official raised. from the ranks of the foree makes the best Superintendent. Jeatousies and difficulties are said to have beset the path of Captain Jourdan, Perhaps it would be better to select a man for this position whose ante- cedents might guarantee ‘that ices to warp th there were po jadgment—no friends ardor enemies to punish The Com- issioners will probably not disregard this sug- gestion in filling the place of the late honest and efficient Superintendent.
