Some of the religious journals are indulging ‘in a curious controversy about the women’s fights movement and the marriage question. The Observer, commenting upon a recent speech by Mrs, Walker, says that the women’s rights movement has degenerated into a cru- wade against marriage. The Independent veriticises the remarks of the Observer, and pays it would be difficult to crowd into a brief pentence a more atrociously false statement jihan that. It asks why the opponents of women’s rights do not refer to the utterances jof Bishop Simpson, Henry Ward Beecher, eset W. Curtis, Harriet Beecher Stowe, ucretia Mott, Julia Ward Howe and scores f others, rather than ‘‘like scavengers rake the mud” from the speeches of persons who, like Mrs, Walker, are not authorized jto represent the movement, The Qb- \server retorts, reiterates its statements, and fin support of its position refers to the fact ‘that the editor of the Independent was chosen (president of the consolidated women’s rights ‘organization, and then quotes from his paper, rwhich is said to be an exponent of the princi- ples of the women’s rights movement, to show ithe opinions on marriage and divorce enter- tained by the editor and the women who called fhim to be their representative man. Accord- fing to the Independent these women’s rights people hold that no authority has the right to Bay, either on the basis of any statute law or popular sentiment or supposed religious tenet, ‘that any two individuals, man and woman, shall live together as husband and wife against the inward protest of their own indi- vidual souls.” The Odserver contends that such sentiments are infamous, making the du- ration of marriage a matter of convenience and subverting society by a system of free Jove. Sentiments upon marriage and divorce such us those entertained by the editor of the Inde- endent and so many of the long-haired male philosophers and female agitators who make ip this women’s rights element are certainly calculated to sap the foundations of society and reduce morality in this country to the low flevel it has fonnd in France. Free love, affinity, union during the pleasure of the par- ties, polygamy and promiscuous interceurse, such aos is practised by the members of the ‘Oneida community, are all dangerous doctrines ‘and should be condemned by all respectable yaembers of society. Spiritualists, women's wights advocates and others who advance fan- fastic ideas on social subjects are all drifting Jn the same direction, and tho tendency of their teachings is to disturb the social harmony and corrupt the moral sentiment of the coun- fry. Marriage is a solemn obligation which Phould not be lightly entered into or departed From, and the interests of the family and the State require that it should not be cancelled except in case of crime. Facility for divorce fends to laxity of morals, social intrigues and the breaking up of family relations, which might otherwise be lasting and harmonious, e cannot countenance the efforts of any per- ‘sons who would make marriage a matter of convenience for the time; but, rather, would advocate the establishment of such safeguards as would protect an institution whose origin is divine, / Toe New Ipeas or NApoLeon.—The report of the interview held with the Emperor Napoleon at Wilhelmshéhe by a Hrraxp cor- respondent has been copied into nearly every prominent paper in the United States. Upon ils first appearance the principal parts of it ‘were telegraphed to every section of the country and created a marked sensation. It is pronounced by distinguished statesmen and leading journals to be a new and striking ‘appendix to the famous work, ‘Des Idées Wapoléoniennes,” and as such certain to be- come a remarkable chapter in that standard work, \ An AmErioan War Sarr at Fuesre—Cap- TURE OF THE GREAT CANNIBAL Culler, BoLABo- ZA, BY THE Resaoa.—From the Feejee Islands, ander date of September 3, we have by maila very interesting account of the action of the United States war ship Resaca in upholding the honor of our flag by avenging indignities and violence done to our citizens by a native chief. This chief was a terrible fellow named Bolabola, a cannibal of the very worst sort. Bolabola had poisoned a white man and “Blready eaten even Feejee natives as well as whites. He was entrapped by means of the itreachery of a follower—for there is treachery yeven among savages for gain—to go on board ‘the Resaca. Here he was made prisoner and ftaken away from the coast. Fearing that the would be hanged by our officers Bolabola ‘dropped himself overboard from the Resaca, when off Levuka, and was not seen afterwards. (He isdescribed asa ‘‘bloodthirsty scoundfel”— ‘a very poor epitaph indeed, but suitable, erhaps, according to his deserts on earth, and tquite in accordance with the New Zealand ‘traditionary mythology of ‘down goes black Iman, up comes white man.” , Caress Justice.—California has just been favored with a specimen of Oriental justice. ‘Tn San Bernardino county, a few days since, 1a Chinese woman committed a petty theft, ‘whereupon she was seized by a party of her ‘countrymen, tied to a stake and burned to ‘death.

The following is the text of a Prussian Cabinet circular, which has just been addressed by Count Bismarck to the diplomatic representatives of the North German Confederation serving at the seat of foreign governments. ‘lus State paper is dated at Versailles, November 8, and reads as follows:— Your EXcELLENCy—You will learn by this that M. Thiers, on the part of the French people, ex- pressed a desire to be admitted to negotiate with the Cabinet representatives of his Majesty the King at headquarters, after having previously entered into communications with the diferent members of the government of national defence at Tours and in Paris. In compliance with orders from his Majesty I declared my willingness to grant the interview which he sought. M. Thiers was, in consequence of this de- Cision, allowed first to proceed to Paris, which he did on the 30th ult., returning to tne royal head- quarters next day, the 3ist of October. This was the first time that a statesman enjoying such distinction and importance as M. ‘Thiers does had accepted plenipotentiary powers at the hands of the Paris government. This ‘fact induced me to hope that proposals would be submitted to us by him on tbe part of France, the acceptance of which would be possible, and in the interest of the conclusion of peace I received M. Thiers with that respectful attention and official demeanor and con- duct to which his distinguished position, not to speak of any former relations, entitled him. During the interview M. Thiers declared that France, duced by the expressed desire of the neutral Powers, was ready to accept an armistice. Thus his Majesty the King had, in the face of the first declaration of M. Thiers, to consider the fact that any or every armistice concluded during the war would in itself bring to Germany all the disadvantages which are connected with the prolongation of a campaign, and which come during such moments of delay in the operations to every army which receives its supplies, particularly its supply of provisions, from distant sources. Besides this we took upon ourselves the obligation to leave tue German troops, which bad become fully available by the capitulation of Metz, in the positions which they occupied on the day the armistice was signed, and to renounce the occupation of further territory of the enemy, which at present we might achieve without any, or cer- talnly very little, resistance. The German armies could not expect much in the way o1 reinforcements or succor during the next few weeks. On the other band, France would, by the conclusion of an armis- tice, be enabled to develop its resources and to complete the organization of the army corps that are now forming, and when hostilities should reopen after the armistice she would be able to oppose to us troops which at present do not exist, Despite all these considerations the personal de- sire which was felt by his Majesty the King to take a first step in the interest of peace prevailed, and 1 was empowered to make an advance to M. Thiers by granting an armistice of twenty-five or, as M. Thiers afterwards wished, twenty-eight days, on the basis of the simple status in quo as it existed on the day of signing. During the interview I proposed to M. Thiers that 1 would define, by a line of demarcation which would be regularly agreed to and adopted, the several positions of the troops, and to interrupt hostilities during a space of three weeks, so that France could proceed to the holding of Parlia- mentary elections for the constitution of a national representation. On the French side this truce would have resulted simply in effecting the renunciation of insig- nificant and, to them, always disastrous army sorties, as also of a useless and to us incomprehen- sible waste of ammunition from the guns of tne forts around Paris during the period of its existence. With respect to the elections in Alsace I was in a position to declare that we should not insist on any stipulation which would call in question the right of the claim of France to tae German departments before the conclusion of peace, and that we would not make or hold any of the inhabitants of these parts responsible for thelr appearance in a French National Assembly as the constitutional representa- tives of their countrymen, I was surprised at the French Plenipotentiary (M. Thiers) declining these proposals, in which all the advantages were on the partof France, and at his declaring also that he would accept an armistice only in the event of our agreeing to an extensive provisioning of Parts. I replied that this would tnclude so much more of @ military concession than a return to the status in quo, or, indeed, to anything reasonanie, that it could not be expected. Lasked him if he was in a position to oifer his Majesty the King any equivalent In return? M. Thiers declared, in reply, that he was not in a position to make any military ofer in return; and that he was obliged to ask this concession of the provisioning of Paris, without offering anything else than the readiness of the Parts government to accord to the French nation the right of election | of @ representative body, which would propably constitute an authority with which it would be pos- sible for us to treat tor peace, In this shape I had to submit the result of our negotiations and conversation to bis Majesty the Ktng and his military advisers, His Majesty was justly surprised at these exorbl- fant military claims by France, and he was dis- appointed in his expectations as tothe probable re- Suit of the negotiations into which I ha( entered with M. Thiers. The incredible demand that Prussia should give up the fruit of all the efforts which she had made tn the fleld during the past two months, surrender the many advantages she had gained and thus bring the situation back to the condition which existed at the moment when the investment of Paris was commenced, could only prove that in Parla they were merely lookiug for pretexts to deny the French nation the right of holding the election, and that they were not willing to give the people an op- portuulty to carry the voting out without interrup- tion, Influenced by my desire to make another effort to come to an understanding on some other basis of settlement, M. Thiers had an interview on the lino of the army outposts with the members of the Paris government, on the 5th inst., 80 a8 to propose to them either an armistice on the basis of the status én quo for a shorter period of time than that Which was asked, or the simple convening of the electoral bodies without any treaty of armistice. In this tnstance [said [ could guarantee a free ad- mission of French voters to Paris and the granting of every facility which ald not interfere with our military situation and the safety of our army. Regarding the substance of his interview with Messrs. Favre and Trochu, M. Thiers nas not given mie any approximate information. He could merely inform me that the result haa been the delivery to him of advice to break off negotiations with his Majesty and to leave Versailles, since the comple- tion of an armistice, including the right of repro- visioning Paris, was not to be attained. M. Thiers’ return to Tours took place on tue 7th Inst., at an early hour of the morning. ‘The course of the negotiations with M. Thiers has impressed me with the conviction that the present rulers of France dtd not, from the very beginning, sincerely wish to hear the views of the French na- tion expressed fn @ representative parliamentary body, constituted by a free and uncontrolled election, and that just as little has been their tntention to bring about an armistice, but that they stipulated for a concession which they knew from the first to be enacceptable, and that they only asked for these conditions in order not to give to the neutral Powers, on whose support they count, a direct re- fusal, In conclusion, I beg to request that you will ex- press yourself'to the government to which you are accredited in accordance with the contents of this despatch, to the reading of which to the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs you are duly empowered, Accept, &c., BISMARCK.

Keyser last evening delivered a lecture in the Young Men's Christian Association Hall, Twenty-third street and Fourth aveaue, on this subject. There was quite a large audience present, the major portion of which were ladies, The title of the lecture was rather a puzzler tor persons who were not posted before they went to the hall and heard it explained. It must be confessed, however, that the lecture itself was quite an interesting one, even though the ttle might have been more definite as well as appro- priate. Miss Keyser endeavored to show that the life men and women lead nowadays was not exactly what itought to be. People were too fond of their ease, and were too anxious to enjoy riches ina hurry, as well as all the luxuries which money could buy. They hated to work because it was work, and were never satisfied with their position in life. Then, agatn, instead of doing good to one an- other each was ambluous to outdo the other and cause patn where good feeling might as easily be created. “He who loved most lived the best’ should be every one's motto, she thought, but the contrary was therule. What we lacked nowadays was more earnestness of purpose, more determination to over- come difticulties—a “consuming tlre’’ of earnestness that would impel us onward in domg that which wasright. The fair speaker then went on at great length to enumerate tn what vartous ways we failed to come up to the true standard of manhood and womanhood, and pointed out the many phases of what is commonly called “talse existence’ by some very striking illustrations, The lecturer referred also to the present European war as showing that the “consuming fire’ of earnestness of purpose was the secret of the great victories of the Prussian arms. ANOTHER POLITICAL ARREST. Last evening, on a bench warrant issued by Dis- trict Attorney Garvin, Detective Simington, of Chief Irving's command, arrested George Laylana, of 121 Perry street, an employé in the Custom House, on the charge of assault and battery upon James E.

The entry made upoo the press book of the Central OMce is very indefinite; but from other sources it has been ascertained that the prisoner during the time of the late election moved about the Ninth ward and distinguished himself by loud talk and bluster, and meeting McNeany violently as- saulted him.

Slugs~Two Boys Murdered An Old Fead—An Eleventh Ward Vendetta, The Eleventh police precinct report that at half. past seven o'clock last evening two boys, James MeNuilty, of 211 avenue ©, and James McCracken, of 747 East Ninth street, while standing in Thirteenth street, near avenue O, were shot iu the head and body and dangerously wounded by slugs trom a gun fired by Conrad Doll, of 646 East Thirteenth street. They weresent to Bellevue Hospital, and Doll was arrested by officer Dargen, of the precinct, Later information obtained shows the cause of the murder tobe an old fend between the murderer and Doll, who is a night scavanger, and the young street arabs of the Eleventh ward, For many weeks & gang of boys have been in the habit of meeting Doll when making his rounds and ridiculing bis personal appearance, and by the use of insulting epithets working him up to afrenzy, A week ago last night Doll caught one of the boys and beat him unmercifully with a club, from the effects of which he is still suffering. The boy McCracken, mMenuoned above, is aged fourteen years. He and McNulty at the time of the shooting were conversing at the corner of avenue C and Thirteenth street, when Doll came ulong. The youngsters, as usual, shouted at him. Doll made no remark in response, but proceeded to his residence opposite. The youths no longer paid attention to his movements unttl they heard the report of the gun and felt the effects of the slugs in their bodtes. One of the boys, who was prostrate, avers that while in that condition he saw Doll sneaking along the alleyway leading to his rooms with arife or musket in his hands, ‘The discharge of the weapon attracted a large crowd, some of whom removed the boys to a drug store, where their wounds were examined. The druggist, seeing their condition, urged their removal to Bellevue Hospital, which was done. ‘The officer, on hearing of the murder, hurried to the apartments of Doil, and found him in bea with his son Gustave, with bis clothes on and Lae rently asleep. He subsequently confronted Doll, senior, with his victiins, who tmmediately recognized him as the party who shotthem. in Doll’s rooms a rusty Enfleld rifle was found under a bed, and upon it a newly exploded cap was dis- covered on the nipple, the barrel being coated with powder and smoke. The old man, Doll, 18 a repulsive looking creature, and at the station house positively refused to com- municate with the oficers in English. The son, Gustave, was also qaetamned as a prisoner, and, while speaking English, doggedly refused to commit himself im any manner, ‘The Bellevue Hospital surgeons are of the opinion that both the victims of the irate scavenger will die. ff the statements collected with much care can be relied upon this ts likely to prove ove of the coolest and most unjustiflable double murders of the year. The deceased will be arraigned before the Essex Market Justice thls morning METHODIST Missioy Meeting of the General CommitteemAppro- priations for the Foreign aud Domestic Missions—Final Adjournment.
