Tar War Srrvation.—Garibaldi has had his first fight for French independence in the Vosges, but the accounts of the battle are conflicting, both Garibaldi and the Prussian commander claiming the victory. About Paris matters have undergone ne material change. General Trochu made another sortie on Monday, but it was repulsed. The bom- bardment is announced to commence on the 29th inst. A young girl in Tours is playing anew the ancient réle of Jeanne d’Arc, and hundreds of soldiers are joining ber standard. Lynon Law in Indiana has heretofore been well directed, however discreditable we must hold it tobe. The latest instance is that of two of a gang of robbers who were lynched on Tuesday night. Krxe Victor Emanxvet has undertaken to eny the truth of the allegations contained in a Papal bull. What next? No wonder we have earthquakes and high winds and floods. The comets will have full play aud carry long tails in future. Tae Peace Prosikm.—The negotiations towards peace have assumed the followtng phases :—Queen Victoria has written a letter to iKing William urging him to moderate his de- mands, the Tours government has accepted the principle of the proposed armistice and M. Thiers’ pass into Paris will be ready withia @ week. Graxp Tammany Torsovur To-Nient.— This will probably be one of the grandest po- litical displays that has occurred in this city since the old McClellan times, Thousands of “ye fierce democracie” will be in marfial array, with banners, torches, transparencies, unique devices upon wheels, and a vast number of bands of music will be distributed throagh- out the entire line. It willbe a gay time for ‘Tammany, and many thousands of spectators will no doubt be amused and instructed by the demonstration. We have the information from Washington that, in consequence of the disposition mani- fosted among certain political elements of this city to obstruct the peaceable execution of the new election laws of Congress, the President has resolved to place within convenient reach of the United States civil officers appointed to superintend our approaching election in this city a strong force of the army and marine corps, for the protection and assistance of said civil officers, if necessary, in the enforce- ment of the laws. General Terry—the recon- struction Terry of Georgia—-it is supposed, will be placed in the immediate command of this foree, subject to the requisition of the United States Marshal. It is further reported that the President has arranged to bring all the regular troops in Philadelphia, Newport, Boston and Carlisle barracks to New York in a very few hours, if he sees any aecessity for it; and again, that he has ordered all the available troops in the forts eastof the Mis- sissippi to rendezvous in the forts of New York or in this city by election day. Mean- time, Attorney General Akerman’s presence in New York ig for the purpose of legal advice and instruction to the civil officers concerned in the execution of the laws, so that mistakes in their application may, a3 far as possible, be avoided, In this connection the charge deliverod on Tuesday last by Judge Benedict to the Grand Jury in the United States Court, over which he presides, shows that all the needful judicial machinery is arranged for the arrest, trial and condemnation of parties guilty of frauds in our coming election, including perjurers in registration, repeaters, ballot stuffers, false counters and unlawful obstructors in any way of honest voters in the exercise of their legal rights, The civil, the judicial and the military authorities of the United States, in short, under the laws of Congress in the premises, will be oa hand or held in readiness for the euiorcement of these laws on election day. There is considerable excitement in the city on the subject, and considerable denunciation, too, of these proceedings as the outcroppings of a central military despotism. Such pro- ceedings, we are told, are inconsistent with re- publican government, and that the Georgia re- construction system of the bayonet applied to New York is a monstrous outrage upon popular rights, State rights and municipal rights, and in gross violation of the national constitution. In the first place, however, General Grant in this business is acting in obedience to his oat of office, which binds him to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. In the second place these laws of Congress are clearly constitutional, as we have shown heretofore, chapter and verse, and as any one may see by turning to the constitution of the United States. For instance, Congress has the express power “to establish a uniform rule of naturalization” and the power to enforce it. It has the ex- press power to regulate elections embracing the election of members of Congress, and the ~wdicsa.. t express power, to epforce the fifteenth amend- ment in enforcing the right of colored citizens to vote. Tn thé enforcement of these laws, moreover, thus covered by the constitution, the President is empowered, when ia his judg- ment it may be deemed necessary, to employ the army and the navy of the United States. But the question next recurs, is there any apparent necessity for this mustering of troops by the President with which to overawe our peaceable citizens on election day? No. The trouble does not lie with our peaceable citi- zens. But General Grant unquestionably is apprehensive of obstructions to the United States deputy marshals, inspectors, &c., in this coming election, which may require the intervention of a detachment of troops, here and there—obstructions from disorderly and riotous combinations, identified with the detestable and dangerous practices of false swearing, repeating, ballot stuffing, &c. It is 8 notorious fact that in this city, for several years past, these pernicious practices have brought our political elections in this city too much into public contempt. Next, the course of opposition pursued by certain party jour- nals to these new election laws of Congress has been in favor of resistance, instead of sub- mission; and then, to say the least of it, our municipal authorities have neglected, so far, to recommend submission to these laws. With all these facts before him General Grant has, pirally enough, come ta the conclusion that the laws which certain parties defy and denounce in advance of the election will be defied and resisied in the election, unless the officers directly charged with the execution of these laws are backed by a reserved force of the United Siates army. ° ¥ Here, then, is a satisfactory vindication of General Grant’s preparations for the employ- ment of troops, if necessary, in this coming election, in behalf of law and order. The great matter involved is the purity of the ballot box, which involves everything of any yalue in popular government. It will be re- membered that during the war, in the Prosi- dential election of 1864, General Butler was sent here with a posse of troops in reserve for the maintenance of order in the election, if called for; but that hie military intervention was not called for, and that that election was the most quiet and orderly ever known in this city. The apprehension of riotous proceed- ings grew out of the terrible draft riots of 1863; but the election of November, 1864, showed that the blind fury of the lawless ele- ment concerned in the riots of ’63 had ex- hausted Itself in that senseless and severely punished outbreak. Since that day law and order have prevailed in the city, and there has been less of violence and disorder in our metropolitan elections than in those of Phila- delphis, Baltimore, Washington and other cities. We have, then, substantial reasons forthe opinion that no troops will be required and that none will be seen in our coming elec- tion, and that we shall have a quiet and or- derly election, with the active co-operation of the officers of the United States, the State and the city, in ebedience to the laws, national and local. Why not? The election laws of Congress and the election laws of the State are in har- mony with each other. The object of both the national and the State laws is an honest polling, counting and return of the votes of the people entitled to vote, That is all; but that is enough to justify, if called for, the strong arm of the sovereien authority of the United States in the protection of honest voters, and the maintenance of their rights as the sovereign people under the constitution. We know that some of our electioneering party orators and organs have been endeavoring to inflame the wrath of the people against these so-called despotic proceedings of General Grant to carry our elections by the bayonet, and we know that this cry of ‘the bayonet at the polls” iss good election- eering trick for buncombe. On the other hand, we have no doubt that electioneering politicians at Washington have painted the roughs, the repeaters and ballot stuffers of New York in the very blackest colors, and as in full communion with Tammany Hall, and as resolved upon a bold and bloody course of defiance and resistance to the laws; but the threats uttered on the one side and the dan- gers prociaimed on the other are largely made up of the usual electioneering fustian, flum- mery and claptrap. General Grant, from all the facts and lights before him, is simply pursuing the line of his duty, He is on the safe side, too, in prepar- ing for the worst contingencies threatened, as our chief magistrate. We think, too, that we may safely promise the democracy that these so-called despotic proceedings on his part will not be followed by a consolidated military despotism, nor by the bayonet at the polls, if not wanted; and that we can, with equal safety, promise the republicans that no sol- diers will be needed at the polls in this city to secure an observance of the laws in our ap- proaching election, We know that when the law is made to appear on any question a living reality it is universally respected; and we thiok that the President has gained this point in reference to the supremacy of the law in our elections. Our Special Telegrams from the Seat of War—Progress in the Field and the Move« mont for Peace—Inside of Paris. The ample series of special telegrams from Europe which we publish this morning em- brace a variety of matter which is of particu- lar interest and of really momentous impor- tance just now. Our telegraph letters were forwarded from various points at the seat of war to London and transmitted thence by deep sea cable for use in the columns of the Herarp. These commanications tell us of the situa- tion which existed inside of Paris a few days since—at least so far as regards the more immediate interests of the Americans who were still resident in the besieged city. The despatches report also the condition of affairs in Berlin ; speak of Bazaine’s situation at Metz; inform us of the army progress at the headquarters of King William at Ver- sailles, and show us Napoleon as he lives at Wilhelmshohe. It is needless to say that the Americans in Paris were fatigued by the events of the pre- sent crisis. The incidents of the siege had become monotonous. There was no, variety. The roar of t artillery was ju.t the same @ach day. Rations were becoming scarce and pleasure was set aside. Then there was little chance of witnessing an assault at an early day, 80 our countrymen were about to migrate from the once happy centre of good living and fashion and the ton homeward. They wished to leave Paris; but here was the diffi- enlty. The Prussians were watchful outside and the Parisians jealous at the proposed universal exodus within. Many of our coun- trymen were repeating the cry of Yorick’s starling, “I can’t get out;” but Minister Washburne, by the exercise of a very con- siderable amount of diplomatic tact, was likely to effect their relief. So that we may look for the arrival of any number of men “who were in Paris” here in New York at an early day. The more immediate question of the war was—although it may appear to involve a contradiction—that of peace. It prevailed in Berlin and was spoken of in the camps. Ber- lin suffers an industrial exhaustion by the con- tinuance of the struggle. There are stores closed up, severe distress among the poorer classes, and widows and orphans in great numbers. Many of the politicians demand peace; others repudiate the idea of a further aggrandizement of royalty by means of war, Some of the Prussian politicians, indeed, go so far as to demand peace, Peace was spoken of at Metz; but we are told that the negotiations, if the facts had ever assumed that shape, with Bazaine were abandoned. Napoleon was in more active life at Wilhelmshéhe. Many im- portant personages, including an aide-de- camp of King William, had just waited on his &x-Majesty. Here, again, it was alleged, was a symptom of an approaching arrangement for s faci ocd m . ms from the field do not tend to sustain this pleasing and Christianlike idea of peace. The Prussians are hauling up artillery and reinforcements to thefr works before Paris daily. The guns are of heavier calibre, and we are assured that an active bombardment of the city will be commenced when they are in position. In the meantime the besiegers are kept on the alert by the French. Garibaldi is coming along to the aid of his fellow democrats in France, and the young republic remains faithful to its principle, steadfast to the cause of freedom, and jealous in its assertion of the rights of humanity. Pedéé may perhaps come some day, but it will not be obtained by imperialistic or dynas- tic intrigues, come from what quarter or coun- try they may. There is democracy in Berlin, in Vienna and in London, just as there is in Paris, and the cause of the people must be vindicated in the treaty of peace. Tae New Posr Orrick Buimpixe is pro- gressing well, and will undoubtedly prove when completed one of the grandest attractions in the epoch of metropolttan grandeur and beauty in store for New York city. In the process of construction it would be well that there should ‘be no clashing between the federal and local authorities, It is as much for the interests of our citizens to have the structure speedily completed as it is for the convenience and benefit of the government at Wasbington, Hurry up the New York Post Office, Tax Spanisu Canter awaits, as we are informed by cable telegram, Prussia’s approval of the Duke of Aosta to the throne in Madrid. Does Prussla own Spain? reappeared at Barcelona, foregoing report be true? The Empress Eugenio. ‘The attitude assumed by the Empress Eugé- nie since her flight from France deserves uni- versal admiration. We have had repeated rumors of intrigues on the part of the impe- rialists looking towards a restoration of the Napoleonic dynasty. The Emperor at Wil- helmshéhe and the Empress at Chiselhurst were said to be actively engaged in encourag- ing the efforts of the imperialist party. It is stated also that negotiations are even now going on between the Prussian authorities in France and the Empress in England with a view to the immediate return of Eugénie to resume the Regency and negotiate a peace. Meetings have been held in London lately by imperialists, who hoped to make her a party to their plans. But her own position has been clearly defined by the Empress herself. She refuses to encourage the efforts of those impe- rialist busybodies. She says that she regards all attempts to replace the Emperor or herself on the throne, either now or hereafter, as idle ; that her hopes are centred in her son, the The vomito has Why not, if the Prince Imperial ; that his chances for the suc- cession could only be imperilled by being pushed at present, and that she will hold her- self entirely aloof from all political intrigues until peace is re-established. This position of the Empress is at once sen- sible, natural and dignified. It shows how well she understands the situation and how cautiously and wisely she cherishes her hopes for the future of the Prince Imperial. In pub- lic and private life Eugénie has shown herself tobe a most estimable woman. Her stately presence in the palace of the Tuileries com- manded the respect of its Aaditués, and her conduct everywhere won for her the admira- tion of the people. She has shown keen politi- cal foresight on more than one occasion, Had the Emperor taken her advice when she wrote him from Egypt and assured him that he could not make two successful coups d'état in one lifetime, the imperial family would not be to-day in exile, Her conduct in the midst of the misfortunes that have fallon on her family isin every way commendable, Her anxiety for the final realization of her hopes with refer- ence to her son is only natural; adversity has brought out in bold relief the tenderest quali- ties of the mother, and now maternal solicitude is the ruling consideration with her, The world may concentrate on Eugénie the sym- pathy which it has lost upon Napoleon, The New Captain General of Cuba. As we anticipated when the appointment was first announced by the Spanish govern- ment, General Cordova does not meet the approval of the Cuban volunteers. De Rodas failed to satisfy them because he was not bloodthirsty enough, and consequently they manifested an amount of hostility to his administration which rendered the Captain General’s palace a very hot place. After repeated applications to the home government De Rodas got leave to retire; but the appoint- ment of General De ‘Cordova is not satisfac- torily received in Cuba. Valmaseda is the choice of the volunteers, and the volunteers exercise a vast influence throughout the island. His career in the Eastern Department about a year ago made him popular with the native troops fighting in the interest of Spain ; yet his successes were paper successes rather than real achievements won on the field over the insurgents. His boastings have flattered the vanity of the volunteers, and the fact of his being a native Cuban is also a point in his favor with the soldiers. Mony looked forward to him as being the successor of De Rodas, Valmaseda himself felt that a powerful interest was working in his favor, and, being both ambitions and unscrupulous, he intrigued for the much coveted prize, and lost. The disap- pointment, felt as keenly as it must be by Valmaseda, is also shared in by the volun- teers. As a consequence General Cordova on his arrival in Havana will meet with an antagonism which he little expects. Between the differences and rivalries existing among the Spanish volunteers and the believers in Spanish rule the Cubans will have some advantages in their favor not previously pos- sessed by them. Let the Cubans in the field profit by these dissensions in the Spanish ranks and keep united in sentiment as in action. It is only by such determination that they can win the independence of Cuba, Fosep wita TaMMaNy.—The Democratic Union party, with Mr, Roosevelt as its head centre, has officially declared its intention to support Tammany. At a meeting of the Gene- ral Committee it was resolved that they would not add to existing complications by nominat- ing a third democratic ticket for the city and county, but would support democrats only in the coming election, which means, of course, Tammany democrats. And so they go. The hostile elements are being absorbed into Tam- many as little drops of water become fused with the big ones, Jimmy O’Brien has been thus absorbed, and, his f they did not comprise the intellect, could cer- tainly boast of the bone and sihew of the Young Democracy, have gone with him, By and by they will be all dropping into the old Wigwam, and New York city will probably roll, up a larger democratic majority than ever for the State and county tickets. Tammany seems to play the “‘magic flute,” and all who hear the music must dance to it. Protection TO ImMIGRANTS.—-A conven- tion to consider the best means of secaring to the immigrant from abroad protection from fraud, and cheap, comfortable and speedy transportation from the seaboard to the West, has been called to meet at Indianapolis on the 2834 of November. The call is signed by the Governors of Minnesota,- Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin. A request is made for the ‘Appointment of four delegates by the Executive of each State and of one delegate by each board of trade and organized immigration society, The object of the convention is highly important and praise- worthy, and should receive all proper official and personal aid.

Senator’ Sumner delivered last evening in Boston a lecture on the war under the title of “The duel between France and Germany, with its lesson to civilization.” We transfer to our columns this morning the most inte- resting portions of this essay, which will no doubt be eagerly read not only in this country, but abroad, on account of the Senator's great reputation as a scholar and public man, and of the position which he occupies in the Senate of the United States as chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations. In this lecture Mr. Sumner is not sparing in condemnation of the French government for having, on the merest and most frivolous pretext, brought on the war; but while holding up Louis Napoleon to execration for his perfidy he interposes a plea on behalf of the French people, who were but the tools and victims of imperialism. The idea which Mr. Sumner elucidates and seeks to enforce in his lecture is that a war between two nations should be no more tolerated than a duel between two individuals, that they are alike in principle and that the civilization which has put an end to the duello asan arbiter between individuals or commu- nities cannot tolerate war as an arbiter be- tween two nations. The guarantee of peace which he counsels is not that of the dismem- berment of France, but of the disarmament of all nations and the consequent abolition of the war system. He sees in the uprising of the workingmen of Europe signs of the coming revolution which is to overthrow standing armies, to establish republics in Europe and to make peace perpetual. In his own words :—‘‘To the people alone can man- kind look for the repose of nations; but the republic is the embodied people, constituting the highest type of civilization.” t of Déderum in the Courts, We fear that our courts are falling of in the practice so essential to the dignity which belongs to the seat of justico—that of respect’ ing the bench and maintaining courtesy be- tween counsel. We have had some painful evidence recently of a disposition to render our courts contemptible by challenging the right of judges to sit {m certain cases, alleging asa reason that they were influenced by cor- rapt motives or diaqualified by political parti- sanship to award a fair trial, The disgraceful scene at the opening of the trial of Jackson, the murderer of Douglas, and that which occurred in the Supreme Court in the Erie case, when the right of Judge Barnard to sit was questioned by the plaintiff's counsel, are cases in point, The attack upon the Recorder is too contemptible to notice, because it was instigated by the very meanest motives, and fell dead without accomplishing anything except the disgrace of the parties who were instrumental in concocting it, In the Erie case the rules of decorum were vio- lated in a most extraordinary way. Gentle- men who were not counsel in the case, who were not entitled to take part except as wit- nesses—Mr. Ramsey, the plaintiff, and James Fisk, Jr., one of the defendants—took part in the argument, the former in a speech and the latter by intemperate interruptions, thus inter- fering with the regular course of p in a manner highly disrespectfal to the presid- ing judge. This was a most indecorous pro- ceeding, and we wonder that it was not promptly rebuked by the court. The conduct of counsel also was not quite as courtvous as’ it ought to have been. If there is any place more fitting than an- other where dignity and self-respect should be conspicuous it is a court of justice. It is here that men look for the calm judgment which is to protect their rights and defend them from the wickellness of the evil-doer. Scenes like these to which we refer, therefore, are a pub- lic scandal.. They have a demoralizing influ- ence in the community, not only in our own city, but all over the country, wherever the full and graphic reports of the HkkALD are read, detailing these passages of words be- tween judges and counsel, If such things are to continue people will come to adopt the opinion that the only way to keep the judiciary free from the taint of politics and the inter- ference of politicians is to elect or appoint the judges for life or during good behavior, and we think that the sooner we reach that point the better for the honest administration of justice. PeaceA Proper Woman’s Rights ment. A proper woman's rights movement has at length been inaugurated by Mrs. Howe, whose eloquent address at Association Hall on Tues- day night invoked the intervention of women to institute, observe and support a high court of international appeal for the prevention and final abolition of war. It requires no argu- ment to show how ruthlessly the dearest and most sacred rights of woman—her rights’ to the protection of father, brother, husband and son—are violated by war. If anything could convert us to Mrs. Howe’s opinions in favor of woman suffrage it would be her original and impressive declaration—‘‘The votes of the bloody hands have been counted for centuries. It is now time to count the votes of the bleed- ing hearts.” Jn days past, indeed, woman has been the secret origin of many a war. Helen, the cause of the Trojan war, was but Move. The Freach ‘“iteds.”” Tt is stated in our despatches from France that the red republicans at Marseilles have de- the prototype of more than one | nounced the provisional government of the successor. Women, too, have often sus- | republic, have taken up arms against it and tained the spirit and the arms of | even offered a reward for the head of Gam- masculine combatants, as well as ministered graciously to them when wounded and dying. Without going abroad for illustrations of this historical fact, we need only refer to the inspi- ration, aid and comfort which, during our own recent civil war, the soldiers of both the Northern and the Southern armies received from their mothers, sisters, wives and daugh- ters. But Mrs. Howe is right in asserting that God has given to woman a tender care for human life, which the rougher man easily for- gets. And she is fully justified in calling upon womanhood as it is yet to be developed to “organize the millennium.” No doubt that if the votes of the women in both Germany and France could be collected to-day they would be unanimously in favor of putting a speedy end to the cruel war now raging in Europe. The calamities of war fall heaviest upon women, and a combined movement on their part throughout the world in favor of an international congress for peace could not be ineffectual. Their united ory for ‘peace on earth” would certainly be heard in heaven, Tor Cask or Cororep Caper SmiTe before a court martial at West Point has been concluded; but the result will not be known until the finding of the court is promulgated by the Secretary of War, according to the usual military rule. The charges against Smith are assaulting a cadet named Wilson, and wound- ing him by a blow on the temple with a dipper, while drawing water from the tank in camp; also for uttering a falsehood with regard to certain misconduct proved against him while on drill, The defence read by Colonel Parsona for the prisoner was ingenious, but a little weak, It contained an admission of the as- gault, coupled with a justification of excited temper and mutual misunderstanding between the parties, With regard to the charge of misconduct while on drill, there was a mixing up of dates in the charges, and in the answer of cadet Smith, which subjected him to the accusation of equivocation andfalsehood. This he explains by a plea of forgetfulness, but de- nies any intent to take advantage of the error betta, the young leader of the new government, No other city in France has produced such a contentious set of malcontents or permitted such aimless opposition to the struggling gov- ernment as this same Marseilles, and Mar- seilles is the city of all France that is most lacking in grand historic honors, in noble memories, in famous achievements, It has no proud past to look back upon, like nearly every old city of France; no magnificent pre- sent in arts or sciences er architecture; no future, apparently, except the record to be made hereafier by her discontented and mischievous citizens, who alone of all others in the republic throw frivolous ob- stacles in the way of the new government, These ‘“‘reds” are the Fremonts and Hunters and Wendell Phillipses of the war—the men who want to drive things too fast, who find fault with the connect of the war because it {s not being pushed fast enough, who would hava eried ‘‘On to Richmond” in our war when McClellan could hardly hold his own against. the hosts opposed ta him, They do not favor peace. They want war to the bitter end, and their opposition to the young republic is not on account of its con- tinuing the war, for which there might be some excuse, but because the beleaguered forces in Paris are not driving the enemy rapidly enough. In order to bring about this end they spring a new war on the government and thus delay operations against the com- mon enemy. The provisional government of France has but one course to puraue in regard to such aimless-mischief-makers. It must put thom down by the hard hand of the military.
