It was never expected that Prussia could take it by storm. Jt was not known that the garrison hal been reduced to a state of desperation, It was supposed that there was not as yet any lack of provisions. Franco looked to Baziine as a possible deliverer. The imperialists had not given up the hope that Bazaine might play the part of Monk and _ restore the Bonspartes. No one was looking for the capitulation of tho ancient fortress.

Hence the surrenger of Bazaine excited hardly any life in the market, w the price of gold declined slowly to 111). i Tae Sv oF THE Steamsuir CAmpeta, and the four boats of the vessel, have been drifted ashore on the coasts of Scotland and Ireland—‘he stern at Islay and the boats at the Giant’s Causeway. The boats were empty. There were no traces of the passengers or crew. Mr. McGatlin is supposed to be the | only survivor of the disaster—a waif from the “dread and fathomless deep,” “solitary and alone” as is the ocean from which he escaped. Tae Wareniers or Forruns.—The Empress Euzénie’s dwelling at Chiselhurst, England, was rented for her use from an attorney named Strode, inLondon. We are aasured by special cable telegram from England to-day that the estate is merely held by Mr. Strode as trustee of the Countess Beauregard, a pensioned mis- tress of Napoleon, for the use of her illegiti- mate son by Bonaparte. When shall we be done with the scandals and romance of the ¥rench empire from the moment of the coup état to the surrender at Sedans fall of Metz may, therefore, be added to the list of Mr. Sumner’s surprises, It is more than a surprise. It is another glorious victory to Prussia, It is another terrific and crushing blow to France. In itself considered the fall of Metz is not so important as the fall of Sedan, but ia its inevitable consequences it is destined to be infinitely more so. As we have said alroady, it gives to the situation an en- tirely new aspect. Up until the present it was not unreasonable many | Tho War Situation—Novements separa | ¢ Peace. The fall of Mo'z, of which wo treat more fully elsewhere, is the only important feature of the situation this morning. The army of the Loire is still inactive, but it is intimated that the government at Tours will have to re- move again at an early date. In the Voszes, i the we sian march upon Lyons has been ed, at least for the present, able for military movements | in in the Vosges Mountains is ok upon the advance of either ned fortifications would ours find a decided ad- 1ch weather, and inflict consider- wate apon thy ny, St Quentin is beea uafave in st or paral apiod by the Prussians, A large number of (sem are concencrating at Laon, and a large | portion of the army that captured Soissons is hastily returning to Paris, The French troops at Tours are being sent forward by rail, pro- bably to renew the contest with the Prussians in the neighborhood of Orleans, Otherwise, the main war movements on the part of France appear to consist chiefly of stimulating procla- mations, which, in their very frequency, servo to expose the suicidal lethargy that has para- lyzed the republic. As to peace, it is stated, on the authority of tho Russian Minister at Tours, that Kinz William shows a desire to accept the mediation of the neutral Powers, It is even stated that England, Aus- tria and Russia have proposed terms looking to the razing of the fortresses of Metz and Stras- bourg and the payment of two hundred mil- lion francs indemnity by France, with no cession of territory, the nenirals to guarantee peace. The disastrous capitulation of Metz, with its garrison and armament, will, however, go farther toward securing peace than any proposition of the neutrals. : The Uzited States in the Europeun War. Our special and general telegrams from Europe concur in showing in what great respect the United States as an important Power is held on the otber side of the Atlantic, Here- for France to hope. The army of Bazaine, at Jeast what remained of it, was known to be composed of the best soldiers of France. I? by any means they could cut their way through the Prussiin lines they would form a nucleus aronnd which the raw recruits and newly-formed battalions could gather. Now, however, the army of Bazaine bas shared the fate of the army of MacMahon. All the picked men of France—the four or five hundred thou- sand men who marched from Paris with the view of marching to Berlin—have been de- stroyed, demora'ized or made prisoners of war. The brave men who at Magenta and Solferino nailed victory to the French standards are either dead or disarmed. The forces on whom France now depends are raw and undisciplined. The leaders of those forces are men unknowa tofame. In other words, the two best gene- ralsand the two best armies of France are practically annihilated. This, however, is not all. Not only is France deprived of her two best armies, numbering at least four hun- dred thousand men, and of her two best gene- rals, the way is clear for Prussia to bring forward to the walls of Paris at least one hun- dred and fifly thonsand additional men, not to speak of guns and other muni- tions of war. Between Germany and Paris there is now practically no obstruction. With German soldiers in Strasbourg and with German soldiers in Metz the hosts of Ger- many cin now rush almost uninterrupted into the very heart of France. Why Metz should have surrendered at this particular time is a question which different minds will answer differently. But, whatever the cause, the fact is before us and must be accepted with all its probable consequences. The question now is whether Prussia will offer terms of peace or lay down conditions for an armistice or proceed to the bombard- ment of Paris, It is notorious that Prussia bas not been unwilling since the fall of Sedan to consent to an armistice. Lately she has most distinctly stated that she does not insist on the surrender of Paris aso, preliminary. The unwillingness to agree to on armistice has been on the side of France, not on the side of Prussia. Will the fall of Metz make France more submissive? Will it make Prussia more exacting? It is possible that, as one despatch hints, Bazaine has sur- rendered on condition that Prassia will be sat- ed with the occupation of Metz and Strasbourg, and, that holding these two fortresses a8 material guarantees, she will consent to an armistice. But grapting this, the question still arises. Will France consent to an armistice thus shorn of her strength and dominated by the foe? This, however, is also a possibility. King William, emboldened by this fresh victory, may insist on making peace inside the walls of Paris. As Strasbourg has fallen, as Metz has fallen, so, too, if the struggle is pro- jonged, Paris must fall. To dictate terms of peace in the palace of the Tuileries— to do single-handed in 1871 what it required combined Europe to do in 1815—is no ignoble ambition. A more prudent course would re- dound more to the honor and glory of the victor, Prudence, however, is not generally a dominant characteristic of the conqueror in the hour of his trimmpb. The world will applaud if King William offers the provisional government terms without reducing Paris. if the provisional government is not wise in time men will regret the destruction of the tofore we have had numerous illustrations of the high consideration shown America and Americans by the governments and the people of foreign nations. American travellers are the recipients of courtesies which are not so freely extended to the citizens of other coun- tries. General Sheridan bas been received as a royal guest at the Prussian King’s head- quarters, and General Burnside, whatever his public or private mission may be, seems to have easy access into and out of Paris and other places on all occasions, Count Bismarck is disposed to afford facilities for the regular transmission of despatches from the United States representatives in Paris through the Prussian lines to London. We are told that, as it is understood the American Legation is in freer communication with the outer world than any other place in Paris, persons who are familiar at the Embassy enjoy a kind of dip- lomatic distinction which is not vouchsafed to others. While the diplomatic corps generally is scattered and disorganized, most of its mem- bers having fled to Tours, the Minister and Consul General of the United States still re- main In Paris and continue to hold their regu- lar receptions. It is said that no Power in Eu-~ rope is now so popular with the Parisians or is believed to be so formidable as the United States. When the authorities and citizens of the two contending parties and other European Powers have so much respect for.us it is evi- dent that propositions for an armistice, with a view to a permanent peace, strongly supported by our government, would be most likely to result in the speedy conclusion of the war. This is a splendid opportunity for the United States to appear in the proud position of peace- maker between two great European nations, and to call forth the benedictions of millions of suffering and sympathizing beings. But we hear of no active movements on the part of the administration at Washington to bring about this ‘‘consammation devoutly to be wished” by the civilized world. What we want at the present moment is an authorized representative in London, who would act in conjunciion with Mr. Washburne in Paris and Mr. Bancroft in Berlin, with full powers to present to the belligerents, in the name of the President of the United States and the Ameri- can people, and in the name of humanity, the American idea on the perce q'estion, Tuk SPANISH THRONE. —The| Spanish throne, so long vacant, seems likely soon to find an occupant unobjectionable to England, Prussia and Italy. All these Powers, according to the latest telegraphic reports, have acqniesced in the candidacy of the Duke of Aosta, son of Victor Emanuel, for the Spanish crown. In- asmuch as Spain has failed to profit by the lesson which a prolonged interregnum might have taught, that a king is, after all, but an expensive supernumerary, this young Prince, who is not a Hohenzollern, and against whom, even if he were, the ex-Emperor of the Freach is in no position to protest, may answer as well as any other candidate for royal honors until the Spanish people shall be ready to establish a republic and govern themselves. THOMAS JACKSON, the murderer of Archi- bald Douglas, was found guilty yesterday of manslaughter in the third degree, the highest penalty for which is four years in the State Prison, ‘he fact that he killed bis v tim in the heat of passion was the canse of his easy escape from the dread penalty of death. This nice distinction renders murder a very fairest of modern cities, but they will have no reason to sympathize with unreasoning French- men. Jt is our opinion that the war is now practically ended. For the present, however, the war news is more interesting than ever, Ex-Mayor Canoon, of Richmond, Va., who will be remembered as the radical opponent of Mayor Ellyson for that office a few months ago, has been convicted of forgery, by which he is alleged to have defrauded tue State of seven thousané dollars, and has beea sentenced to four years in the State Prison. Defrauding a State is not considered so serious a crime in this part of the country, or many of our own office-holders would be in the State Prison. It is probable that Mr. Cahoon was too un- popular, personally and politically, in Rich- mond to allow him to commit such a crime with impunity. It is at least satisfactory to know that there is oae section of the Union where people are punished for that offence, commonplace crime indeed, and makes the well worn excuse of temporary insanity almost unnecessary. Ovk News FROM ASPINWALL by the last steamer shows that everything was quiet and orderly in Colombia. The public mind was interested in the approaching laying of the cable whica will connect the isthmus with the Island of Jamaica, and consequently with the rest of the world, Politics were at a stand- still. No patriotic outbreaks had taken place. “God and liberty” were enjoying in profound quiet the beautiful autumn weather; all of which indicates the healthy condition of pub- lic sentiment in Colombia.

The general results of the October elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, with hardly an exception, furnish a fair indication of the general results ia New York in Novem- ber. Tho democrats gain on a short popular vote and the republicans only hold their own | Garibaldi has made such a decided stand that | or gain on a full popular vote. The principal | reason fur these respective party gains or losses lies in these ficts:—Tie main strength of the democrats is in the ellics, towas and 1 yillaves; the main streagih of the republicans {is among the farmers. Henos, while | some great exelting aco, | bring out the fall republic vo the inconveniences and loss of tims to the farmers in getting {o the ; eat body of the democrats in can vole at the next coraer without i nience or loss of time, and therefore will », because of involved ton “rve republicans, The figures of the October clec- tions this year exhibit a short popular vote compared with that of 1868, Jo Pennsylvania, on the Congressional dele- gation, the recent aggregate vote is nearly one hundred thousand short of the October Cong ional vote of 1868, which was under the full inspiration of the Presidential con- test. Of this deficiency, we dare say, from careful estimates heretofore made, two-thirds are republican stay-at-homes and only one~ third are democrats, The consequence is the loss to the republicans of four or five mem- bers of Congress, In Onio a much larger proportion of the full popular vote was brought out in their late election, and in the general resuits the republicans hold their ground, and from the same cause they nearly hold their own in Indiana, losing but one member of Congress. But why this remark- able general apathy in Pennsylvania? One reason for it lies in the mountainous character of the State. The numerous mountain ridges of Pennsylvania are such serious obstructions to intercommunication within the State that they have limited its railway facilities to a few lines comparatively, and so, in thousands of cases, the crossing of a mountain by the ordi- nary mountain roads to reach the polls in- volves the loss of a whole day. Hence, short of the President, it is only the election of the Governor that bringg out anything like the full vote of the quiet, isolated yeomanry of i | Pennsylvania, The same geographical considerations will apply to a great extent to the State of New York; and so it has become a prevailing im- pression that the general results of the October election in Pennsylvania foreshadow the general drift of the November election in New York. For example, in October, 1867, on a short vote, the democrats carried their State candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court by a majority of 922, indicating in one year a democratic gain of 18,0000n the popular vote. In Novem- ber, 1867, on a short vote, the democracy car- ried New York by some 50,000 majority, indi- cating a gain of 63,000 ina single year. In 1868, however, the republicans brought out their reserves and added some 86,000 to their vote of 1867; but still they were beaten on the Governor by a twenty thousand democratic majority. This broke the backbone of the republican party ofthe State; for since 1868 the democracy have continued gaiving until they have State and city completely in their hands, But the republicans charge that neither Seymour nor Hoffinan obtained a majority, but that they were at least ten thousand votes short of a majority of the legal vote of the State, and that by repeaters, ballot staffing, false count- ing und doctored returns the democratic vote of this city was swelled to meet the case. Let us look at the figures, city and State, for 1868 and see how far these charges will stand the test of an examination :— Aggregate vote for Governor in 18838, Democratic you Republican vou 850,656 i Democratic majority. . oh 27,946 All of this mngociey haa been charged to the spurious democratic votes and returns of this city. Here, then, lies the difficulty. Let us look into it. The whole vote of the ci'y in 1868 for Governor was 155,894, of which Hoffman’s vote was » 112,522 And Griswold’s was 2 Hoffman's majority.......... The nearest comparison we can get of any value for this election is that for Governor in 1866, in which the total city vote was 114,169, and Hoffman’s majority was 47,185. The gen- eral vote of the State this year was pretty full, for there was an active campaign on the four- teenth constitutional amendment of equal civil rights, &c. The difference, then, between our city vote of 1866 and 1868 is so heavy as to suggest the repeater and his confederates to some extent, thongh not to anything like the extent of frands charged upon the democracy. At all events, these new election laws of Con- gress are the results of these charges against Tammany Hall, and the republicans expect to cut down, in the enforcement of these laws, the democratic majority of the city of 69,000 of 1868 to a point somewhere between forty and fifty thousand, and upon this democratic reduction they have hopes of electing Wood- ford. What is the prospect? According to Mur- shal Sharpe's latest report of the city census of 1870 we have a city population of 926,910. Allowing one voter to every six people, which is a reasonable proportion, we have 154,000 voters in the ciiy. The republicans here are sadly cat up and demoralized, and their new allies of the *‘Young Democracy” are an un- known gnantity and are very uncertain, Agsnming, however, that they will swell the vote of Woodsord to 50,000 in the city, and that no more than 104,000 votes will be cast here for Hoffman, he will have 54,000 majority from the city, and, irom the demoralization and apathy of the republicans of the rural districts, on account of such feuds as those between the Morgan and Fenton factions, this majority of Hoffman will probably be increased in the aggregate State vote to sixty, seventy, or eighty thousand majority. ‘We have said that a short popular vote in Pennsylvania in October foreshadows a short vote in New York in November, with the usual results. We expect, however, that in this city and its surroundings, from the agita- tion and excitement created by these new election laws, and from the preparations to enforce them, that a very full democratic vote will be volied. ‘This excitement, too, iq evi- only | to | out more generally in all clections than tho | dently affecting, more dy less on both aldes, every county in the State. But atill so badly is the republican party cut up and demoralized, and so compact, united and strong are the combined powers of Tammany and the Erie and the Central Railroad rings, that we look for a republican defeat, ‘‘horse, foot and dra- goons,” or, in other words, upon Governor, Legislature and Congressmen, General Grant is doing all that he can, with the assistance of Collector Murphy, to put their party upon its legs again in New York, but we apprehend that the task is too heavy even for General Grant. t the Scorn ” Nilsson New York. sou of the Nilsson concerts in about to close for the present, | there being only two more performances—the metinee on Saturday and the performance on | Monday night-—-we can now sum up the result. ert Season in | The season has been one of unprecedented success, with the exception, -perhaps, of the Jenny Lind concerts, some twenty years ago. Indeed it is doubtful if Jeany Lind proved a greater success to the impresario than Nilsson has. The best evidence of tho impression Miss Nilsson and the admirable ensemble of artists engaged with her have made upon the public is that Steinway Hall has been as much crowded the last concerts as at the first. We have on several occasions expressed our opinion and the opinion of the public of Miss Nilsson as an artist. Com- bined with a rich, sweet voice of unusual com- pass, there is a charm in her bearing and ap- pearance that captivates the audience. Both in the tones of her voice and manner there is an expression of sentiment which touches every heart. These qualities more than extraordi- nary brilliancy show the secret of her success. Of course she is the great attraction; but the manager has united with her first class artists. It would not be easy to find a better combina- tion for the performances. Brignoli, who is universally acknowledged our first tenor, adds greatly to the attraction. He is always a favorite. Then there is Miss Annie Louise Cary, a young and charming Ameri- can, with a well cultivated contralto voice of the finest quality, aod with a piquancy and grace that fascinate us. Vieuxtemps, the prince of violinists, touches the feelings and arouses the enthusiasm of the audience as probably no other man can with the violin. Verger is an admirable baritone and Colletti ia a fine basso. The quintet on Wednesday night by Nilsson, Cary, Brignoll, Verger and Colletti was superb. Added to all these artists is Miss Krebs, a very fine pianist. With such a galaxy of talent itis not surpris- ing that the Nilsson concerts are so popular. Still the public wants to see Miss Nilsson in opera; for there, it is evident, she would dis- play greater genius and power. Can we not have the pleasure of seeing her in opera? Can not Mr. Strakosch and the stockholders and managers of the Academy of Music come to some terms for the gratification of the pub- lic and in the interest of musical art? Or, this failing, cannot the Fisk Opera House be obtained? The opportunity while Miss Nils- son is here this winter ought not to be lost. What say these gentlemen? Sonth American News. Advices from Pera by the last steamer con- tain nothing more exciting than a free tight in the Peruvian Congress on the subject of a government report on a guano contract, Hap- pily the opposition did not see fit to make the report and the fracas cause for a pronuncia- miento, and we have, therefore, no bloody uprisings to record. It is a gratifying indica- tion of a purification of the political atmo- sphere of South American politics when Peruvian legislators adopt the manners and customs of the noble Anglo-Saxon statesmen of the United States. Let them retain what they have borrowed. Abuse the government, hurl anathemas at the ‘‘myrmidons of tyranny,” help liberty to a loud shriek now and then and occasionally get up a fight in Congress; but avoid revolutions by means of bullets. Peru has begun well. Another squabble in Con- gress will elevate her nearly to our level, and the vent thus found for letting off political steam will give ber that repose yo needed to develop her superb resources. From Bolivia and Chile the news is equally pacific. Inthe first named republic all the revolutionary elements have subsided. They have left their country for their country’s good, and it is generally hoped that they will remain absent till -— wrapped tn fire the realms of ether glow And heaven’s last thunder shakes the world below, In which event Bolivia is likely to continue quiet and peaceable for some years. From Chile the reports are favorable. An exciting canvass for the Presidency had opened, the government and Church parties coalescing and all the liberal elements uniting te oppose them, Here, too, the political customs of the United States have been adopted. A commit- tee to nominate a liberal candidate had been appointed, and altogether the prospect was | favorable for # square campaigo on the Anglo- Saxon plan, divested of yillanons saltpetre and invested witi nothing stronger than ‘‘tall” language. Meantime in the three countries { referred to railroads and other works were pushing ahead vigorously, and the people were generally happy and contented. Custom House Arrains ¢ | terest just now. ‘The leading merchants of the city, including the representatives of « hundred importing houses, have presented a petition to the Collector of the Port praying that the general order and warehouse business shall be restored to Jersey City and Hoboken, as it was originally exiablished there. The merchanis think that it would greatly facili- tate the business of the city to restore the old in- te some system, ‘The Collector hesitates to act until he gets instructions from Washington. The merchants ought to know what is best for their interests, They know the valne of hay- ing the warehouse business in diate con- venienee to the Conard and other lines in Jersey. Their opinions will, it is to be hoped, obtain some fair recognition from the Treasury Department. THe Mormons are not so black as they are painted, A Mormon sheriff recently captured three road agents who had robbed # stage coach of the express treasure-box and plun- dered the passengers.

Torches and transparencies were displayed lavishly, and the darkness of the streets was brightly illumined by the blaze. The turnout showed plainly enough that Tammany has lost none of her power by the detection of her rougher members, except in her ability to repeat, Be- tween the vigilance of the Uaited States mar- shals, determined to enforce the Congressional election laws, and the loss of those professiona) voters who consider the casting of a dozen votes each a mild day’s work in a State elec- tion, the Tammany majority may be greatly reduced on the 8th of November; but her ex- hibit last night leaves no room to doubt that the majority in this city, at least, will be hers. The young and simple democracy may hang their heads. They will be out-manwuvred on election day as they were in the Legislature. Inside Tammany Hall, where the speechmak- ing was going on, there was rather a scanty audience, the majority of the bone and sinew of Tammany usually preferring the active fes- tivity of an outdoor procession, even in wet weather, to the more msthelic delizhts of prosy speechmaking. The Pubiic Verdict on Janauschek’s» Pere formance in English. There is but ene opinion as to the surprising achievement of Fanny Junauvschek ia acquir- ing the first position as an actress in English, Such a position, it is well known, she held as a performer in German. But to master our language so as to take the same rank in Eng- lish speaking countries was her ambition. Through her wonderful perseverancs and genius she has attained her object. The uni- versal voice of the press accords her that honor. It is really an epoch in the Ristory of dramatic art. Jarauschek merits the support of the American public for thus identifying herself with our country and for elevating the drama among us. But great as has been her achievement a woman of her ability and force of character wou'd not rest satisfied even with that. She will advance, no doubt, to greater triumphs, for it is said she perseveres in her’ studies as much asever. The classic drama, of which she is the best representative, has been in a state of decline for some time past. In the cycle of changes in theatrical matters the purely classic drama yielded to opéra bouffe and other lighter reprosentations ; but the time has come, probably, when it can be revived. At least that may be expected now that we have a great artist like Janauschek to represent it in English. After a brief season in New York she is going to other parts of the country for a time, where doubtless she will gather fresh laurels, She has the best wishes of all lovers of true art for that great success she deserves.
