County Auditor Watson—His Recovery Pore sible—-He Retuses to Complain Against the Man Who })id Not Keep to the Richt. ‘The condition of Mr. James Watson, so seriously injured on the Bloomingdule road on Tuesday, was roported last evening as not beyond all possibility of recovery. The skull was badly fractured, but the, patient has not yet becn attacked with the fever so much dreaded in such cases. He has been kept very quiet, and seems to have slept ftfully and rested somewhat at intervals, Much credit is ven to Dr. Frazer, potice surgeon from the Central ce, WhO was On Lic spot at the time of the acci- dent, and who rendere:i instant and important atten- tions to the wounded man. The party who ran his vehicle into that of Mr. Watson 1s eald to have becn very much intoxicated %t the time. He was arrested by the police, to one of whom he gave his card, and ‘Was allowed to drive away ‘raver states that oe saw Mr. Watson driving pest 1@ club house avout four o’clock in the after- oon, He was on the prorer side of tho road. Ex-Sheruf 0’ Brien’s sleigh was keeping beside Mr. Watson’s. From the piazza where he was standing he saw the collision, and hastened to the spot, where he found Mr. Watson sitting in his sleigh, qaite conscious, with his skull fractured on the right side of the forchead, aud the bridge or his moge broken and the face otherwise disfigured. The tijury had, to all appearance, been caused by the tore hoof of the horse in rearing. The frontal bone was the part injured, and the wound was about au inck anda half in depth. He had Mr. Watson taken to the club house, and did everything he pos. sibly could for him. One or two arteries were cut gud he was bleeding very profusely. All he could do wus to stop the hemorrhage and bandago up the wounds. He remained with Mr. Watson for two hours, when tne family physician arrived and he departed. The man who was driving in the sleigh which ran into Mr. Watson’s was on oe side of the road. He was arrested by ‘aptain Wilson, but Mr. Watson refused to make any charge against him, so he was set at liberty. ‘The doctor considers the injury very dangerous, an‘ ig fearful that infammation may supervene, in ‘Whicn case recovery Is highly imprebable. “A GOOD IDEa.

In @ sumptuons and elegant apartment of the Westminster Hotel a reporter of the HERALD had on Monday evening an Interesting and lengthy inter- view with M. le Vicomte ‘Treilhard, the French Minister to this country. Without, a furious snow storm was covering the earth with tts winter mantle, and new and then @ wild gust would drive the flakes of snow against the window panes, It was, imdeed, the most favorable evening possible for a charming and uncoustrained causerie, The conver: sation was carried on in French, The Vicomte 13 Im appearance distingué and thoughtful. He ts about fifty years of age, and has spent his life in the diplomatio service of his ceun- try. His last post of duty was in Obilo, whence hearrived a short time ago. After the suicide of M. Provost-Paradol he was’ appointed by the tm- perial government in France, The republic has, however, confirmed him as #rench Mintater to Wash- ington, “THR TIDR OF FORTUNE still rons against your gallant people, Vicomte,” sald the reporter. “Yes,” replied the Vicomte, “but all ts not yet lost. The sky is black with digaster, but gleams of hope may stil be seen. I hold, with Gambetta, that so long as there da the faintest hope of ultimate victory we should not yield a single acre of territory." - “But how can Paris further resist the Prussians, with all the relteving armies defeated and dispersed, and with her citizens at the point of starvation?” “Those are sad truths. Ourarmies are defeated, What elise could have been expected. They were composed of but ill-disciplined and raw recruits, and were opposed to veteran soldiers." “Then, don’t you think it best for Paris to sur- render before all THE PRECIOUS MONUMENTS OF ART ARB DRSTROYED by Prussian shoils ?”” “If the destraction of Parts can save France I say let her hold out at the risk of any sacri- fices, however great and irreparable, And [ for one do not think that the struggle ought to end with the capitulation of Paris. Our best policy is resistance & Voutrance, We can hope for nothing from the tender mercies of Prussia, They kuow that we shall never forget the infamtes and cruelties practised vy their brutal soldiery. They, therefore, pursue the course laid down in old times by Machi- avelli—‘‘A‘ter you have wronged an enemy Kill him, lest he should afterwards revenge nimself.” The atrocities perpetrated by the Prussian soldiers are indescribably horrible, and almost without precedent in civilized warfare. They ateal, they burn, they plunder moffensive citizens. If we kad been the conquerors we should not have been 30 crael or 89 greedy.” “Do you think Gambetta will save France ?”” “He is the only man I see who seems to show capacity enough to de so, Ile is amanof wonderful ability, and 13 endowed with UNTIRING ENERGY AND PERSEVERANCE, Just took at that exploit of his, leaving Paris by balloon. Up, up he went from the be- leagured city (making @ sign with his hand) and arrived in -Tours in splendid condition, aa I have veen told, with a marvellous . He sot to work directly after with a vigor and determination that showed he understood fally tho desperate extremity of the situation, All the regular armies of France were prisoners in Germany, and tt has been Gambelia gag has organized the forces of France now in the eld. “But was ho not the cause of the disaster to the firet Army of (he Loire? It is said he interfered with Paladine.” “Well, we have only heard one-sided statements ofthoge matters, I belteve Gambetta’s patriotism is without a shadow of selfishness, and if ho did inter- fere it was simply because he had good reason to do so. I would not blame him until Thad clear proofs that he was in the wrong; and my faith tn his ability cannot easily be shaken,’? “But the peopte of Paris are starving? “That has been exaggerated. I have received letters from people, who are not very rich, and wiio say that they have not yet tasted horse flesh. The government of Paris has SECRETLY STORED A VAST AMOUNT OF PROVISIONS in the new Opera House and _ elsewhere, which the people know nothing. Of course, people must live without fresh meat, but that @ hardship to be grambled about only by a bourgoeis, At present the people are getting used to short rations and, aided by thelr secret suppiles, 1 believe ‘rochu. can hold out a long tune yet, Then the horrors of the bombardment have, I'am sure, been exaggerated. Prussian shelis have only killed and wounded about fifteen persons per day, oe but few bulidings have hitherto ape dam- ed. 4 “You don’t yet despair, then?!” “No; so long as Gambetta and Trochu proloug re- sistance I shall believe there isyet hope. I have told you what ! think of Gambetta, and Trochu ts a brave soldier. tis plan of saving Paria is a good one, but he has thus iar been disappointed in his hope of the arrival of armics of deliverance, The fortune of war has alone thwarted his plans.” “Bat the Parisians, apparently, have confidence in him no longer.” “Well, you know the French people. The Paristens are especially volatile. They have nothing like stability of character aboutthem, The destruc- tion of the public buildings will be of immeasurable loss to France and the world, You see, the national honor has been brought lew by the disasters of Sedan and Metz, aud prolonged resisiance could only redecm ft, Since the fall of Mets the French have shown much bravery and self-sacrifice. They have wiped out the shame of those defeats.’” “But can the French troops, that are for the greater part only raw recratts, withstand THE DISCIPLINED VETRRANS OF GERMANY t" “By sufiering defeats and continuous fighting battles these raw recruits’ become veteran soldiers, Ihave yet hope that fortane may favor us."” “Suppose the Germans take Paris; will the Em- peror William sit Napoleon on the throne?” “Itis my opinion that he wili not be so unwise as to adopt suéha measure. The return of the Bonapartes would be # misfortune to France. Even if Bismarck were to set up Napoleon, the Frenoh people, though weakened Boece tal would not tolerate his rule very loug. Witness the downfall of Maximilian in Mexico, wiere a hail-oivilized people would not be ruled by a prince imposed upon them by foreigners.

I have friends among ali the-parties and they say that they would readily accept tne re- public under the presidency of Gambetta. In my opision Gambetta las deserved ‘well of his country.

Mr. Seward once or twioe touched ghtly upon oe matters, but discussion was avoiled vy nem, The Admiral ts convinced from impressions he re- ceived from various sources that the tnpertal gov. | ernment understands it cannot cope with any gieat Western Power in war and that it will avoid | as far as it cau any occasion for war, Hence the earnest desire {+ has shown to heal the breach with France caused by the ‘Tien-tsin affair, ‘Tho position of the government ts full of difficulties. ‘The literari, the influential class, ibly the governing class tn China, learued in he literature aud maxiins of a by-gone age, look at the customs hauded down by thete ancesiors as the only enlightening ones, ani ta foreign tnprove- meats see at once dangers tu themsclves and to the repose of the empire. The actual government is thus between two fires—between the uncertainty of moving on create| by treaties ana contact with Western nations, and the danger of progress, as tending to revolutton—and concerning this irre. pressible conflict the Admirai writes as | ollows:— Tcannot but see ruin tothe present dynasty, and im sur- the country T do hot conclude veying the presoat conditio: that ft desarves. from.

Tho President was also tustructed to correspond with Senators Fenton, Conkling and Cassoriv in relation to the importation of coolies, and to our upon them the sdage of laws protecting the working men, The suggestions of the President in reference to the oreation of a bureau of labor statistics, simtlar to that now in ex: | istence in Massachusetts, were also recommended for adoption by the Assembly. Tho report of the committee was adopted, Resolutions asking the Legislature for a general law to incorporate traded unions, asking Congress to repeal the law requiring cigar makers to give a bond before engaging in business, and asking the Legislature to pass a law against the employment of incompetent men to tuke charge of steam boilers, were adopted.

The Mastachasetts Spiritualist Association held its annuai convention at Elliot Hall to-day, In the afternoon the association was organize for the en- suing year by the choice of Edwin Wilder, 24, of Higham, president; V. S. Williams, of Boston, secretary, aud the same list of vice presidents as last year. Resolutions were presented vy the committee on the subject, welcoming to theirranks all that love God’s children; that Spiritaalism incuicates individu. ality, and that thoy would not cntorse the peculiar views of any, only so far as they co-surred with their reason, and the following:— That Spiritualism nnderiies and inciudes all true reforms; therefore Spiritualists, in falthfnity suatatuing their own ews, are More directly contributing to the per- eceus of the various reforms than by scattering mong the various so-called reforms of the day. Considerable discussion took place on the last resolution. Professor Denton, in opposition, said he wanted to see the organization on a platform broad enough and wide enough and liberal enough and humane enough to include all reforms, because in this they were biessing humanity, and humanity should always come odofore sect. Ail that the old religions could give were the dead forms of the past. Although they were once alive, and had as thetr basis some positive fact, Spirttualiam came to him ag tne only religion that could give positive evidence of its life, But he thoughtit they kept aloof from reforms they would eventually become a3 dead as the other religions. 7 The discussion continued some time, but the reso- luuons were eventually adopted, together with a supplementary resolution recognizing the tmport- ance Of estat ing a comprehensive platform in ne FINANCIAL AND COMMBROAL, WAL WRDNESDAY, Jan, Soaeer, i—3 P.M.
