The error lies more in granting ew trials to convicted criminals than in the Megation of errors presented by them to the iperior courts for new trials. Outrages in the Sow The Governor of Georgia has issued a pro- Plamation, dated 17th inst., offering a reward of five thousand dollars for the arrest and con- ction of any one ofa band of lawless men who, in disguise, have been committing atro- pious outrages in certain unprotected portions the State.

The market sales have been creating a jarge amount of excitement among the 0 Hig the Long Island and Jersey market- men, and others whose various interests are centred in the. public markets, including Keepers of book stalls, venders of crullers and jcoffee, peanuts and other condiments, If the market property is sold there must be a gen- feral exodus of all this class of merchants. Whey will have to find local habitations else- where. Hence they are strongly on the defen- ive. The butchers of Washington Market, jowever, have taken the bull by the horns, and hey mean to bring him into court, confront im with judges and juries, and make him ellow in his own defence. In short, the ‘ashington Market people assert that they ave discovered a legal flaw in the title of the jorporation, They mean to prove, through jhe acumen of some asiute lawyer, that the property occupied as a market was given by @ Trinity church corporation to the city for e purposes of a public market and nothing ‘Ise, and, therefore, that it cannot be disposed f for any other purpose. If the Washington arket butchers have money enough to spend pon a protracted litigation they may succeed in preserving the miserable concern in which ey do business for a little while longer; but @ hardly think that the sympathies of the public will be in favor of continuing the exis- fence of the filthy and disgraceful nuisance which we are now compelled to recognize as e leading public market of New York. Tho ontemplated sale of market property, although it may be piled up with jobs, will at least give is a chance to obtain a few decent markets, an which nothing can be more desirable.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feb, 20, 1871. The New York HERALD correspondent at Versailles forwards me the following de- Ho spatch, dated at noon on yesterday. says :— DELIBERATING ON THE PEACE TERMS—SEVERE CONDITIONS PROPOSED, An imperial council is now engaged, at the Reichsrath office, in deliberating on the conditions of peace. It is proposed to demand the cession of Nice (to Italy?) and the neu- tralization of Savoy, so as to completely isolate France. If this proposition prevails France will be separated from all the other gveat Powers by the neutralized territories of Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the newly acquired (by Germany) territories and for- tresses of Alsace and Lorraine, and from her old ally, Italy, by the neutral territory of Savoy. GERMANY’S OBJEOT. Thus the position of France would be re- plete with obstacles to military operations. The great object of Germany is to physically incapacitate France from taking her threat- No de- mand is made for any part of the couniry actually French. BISMAROK AND VON MOLTKE IN OONFLIOT. Bismarck is willing to renounce his original demand for Metz, on condition that the for- tress be dismantled, General Von Moltke, however, inslsts that the fortress is necessary to Germany as a strategic point. Molike also insists upon the Germans acquiring the belt of territory commanding Belfort. As the people of this region are entirely Frenchy Count Bis- marck is unwilling to insist upon its cession. The question is still under debate in the im- perial council, NO FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE ARMISTICE. No further extension of the armistice will be conceded on any ground. whatever. Ifa treaty of peace is not concluded on the Ger- man terms, or if such terms are not met ina satisfactory spirit by noon on the 23d inst., the German armies will immediately march southward. ened revenge for present disasters. A BELIEF. It is believed here that the French National Assembly will name a triumvirate, including an admiral and a general, to arrange the terms of peace, and that they will then pass a new electoral law and dissolve, shifting the respon- sibility of reorganizing France on the shoul- ders of others. heen! No Prolongation of the Armistice—Germany’s Terms Preseuted—They Are the Ultimatum, Lonpon, Feb. 20, 1871. For the information of the New York Her- ALD I would report that the special corre- spondent of the London Zimes telegraphs from Versailles as follows: — NO FURTAER PROLONGATION OF THE ARMISTICE. The Moniteur says the prolongation of the armistice would injure the position of the Germans. Germany is resolved to continue the war if compensation for the past and guarantees for the future are not given, Ger- many must insist on guarantees, and espe- cially those procurable by the occupation of Paris. No food is now allowed to leave Ver- sailles for Paris, GERMANY'S TERMS PRESENTED, The London Times’ Berlin correspondent telegraphs that the German terms of peace have been presented in a definitive form, and are an ultimatum. WHY THE ARMISTIOR WAS EXTENDED. The same correspondent says the prolonga- tion of the armistice was accorded in return for the surrender of Belfort.

Lhave received the following despatch from the New York Herarp correspondent in Bordeaux dated to-day. Your correspondent telegraphs :— PEACE CERTAIN IF MODERATE TERMS OAN BE OBTAINED. The French National Assembly will un- doubtedly make peace with |Germany, if it is possible to do so—that is to say, if any terms can be obtained not absolutely degrading to France. The terms that the Prussians will really make no one knows anything about. It is not believed that those published in the newspapers correctly reflect the thoughts and purposes of the rulers of Germany. It is rather believed that those reported are pur- posely made in as extravagant a spirit as pos- sible in order that the real terms may seem moderate in comparison. In short, it is thought that Bismarck contemplates startling France and the rest of Europe with terms which will seem moderate and generous to the public mind long prepared for exactions of the hardest description. THE MONARCHISTS DIVIDED. Although nominally there are four hundred monarchists in the National Assembly against three hundred of all other stripes put together the former are equally divided in favor of the different aspirants to the throne, and there is little promise of harmony resulting from a coalition. In fact many who are rated outside of the Chamber as monarchists are really straightforward republicans, and advocate for France the establishment of a republic on the American system. SENTIMENTS OF THE MODERATES, These men are outspoken in their opposition to the reds and to all sorts of republicanism in affillation with the communists. Similar ten- dencies are observable on the part of the French democrats. They do not hold the re- public responsible for the failure of Gambetta and Company or for the disorders which occur under nominal republican rule. They con- demn all extreme ideas which threaten the republic as inconsistent with the safety of property and life. A REPUBLIO POSSIBLE, If the republicans in the National Assembly are disposed to lay the foundation of a legiti- mate, free government, founded on the politi- cal equality of the whole people, every moderate member, including the so-called Or- leanists, will support them, and we shall see a real French republic. This is the real meaning of the recent election of M. Grévy as President of the Assembly. Speech of M. Thiers in the Assembly=The Terms of Peace to be Courageously Dis- cnssed—None Accepted Inconsistent with the Honor of France=The Peace Negotiations An Assembly Commission Appointed. Borpxavx, Feb. 19, 1871. Iam onabled to report to the New Yort HERALp the following intelligence: — SPEECH OF M, THIERS IN THE ASSEMBLY. In the National Assembly to-day M. Thiers delivered a speech in his capacity of Chief Executive of the French republic. He dwelt upon the distress and suffering which had been caused by the war and the Germen invasion, and upon the necessity of peace. NO PEACE INCONSISTENT WITH FRENOH HONOR. “Nevertheless,” said M. Thiers, ‘the terms of peace will be courageously discussed with the Prussians, and will only be accepted if consistent with the honor of France.” THE DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT, “The task of the administration is to pacify and reorganize the country, restore its credit and reorganize its labor. When this is accom- plished the country itself will declde its desti- nies.” A COMMISSION APPOINTED. The National Assembly subsequently adopted a proposal made by the government and appointed a commission, consisting of fifteen Delegates, who will enlighten the Assembly on the progress of the nogotiation for peace and control the same, and report to the National Assembly. PROPOSED SUSPENSION OF THE SITTING. M. Thiers proposed that the Assembly sus- pend its sittings during the negotiations, GONE T0 VERSAILLES. MM.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE EMPEROR'S SAFETY, TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Lowpon, Feb. 20, 1871. From the correspondent of the New York HeEravp at Versailles I have received the fol- lowing despatch, dated yesterday at noon. Your correspondent says:— PARIS TREATED AS A’ CONQUERED CITY. Paris is, in every sense of the word, treated as a city captured by force of arms. It appears that the number of cannon de- livered to the authorities having fallen short by four the number officially reported, the missing ones were demanded. An answer was returned that there had been a mistake in the count. The Germans refused to accept this explanation, and four new cannon are casting at the Caillot foundry to make up the deficiency. THE WAR INDEMNITY. The German financiers summoned to Ver- sailles to give their advice as to the best means of securing payment of the war indem- nity have reported as their opinion that half the total sum can be levied in bullion, and that payment of the rest must be provided for in bills of progressive dates, THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY, The Germans will make their triumphal entry into Paris on the 24th inst., certain. They will take possession of the imperial route, and every precaution to insure the safety of the Emperor of Germany will also be taken.
