PES SET See The Latest Street Car Outrage. The bratal and unprovoked assault on the person of Mr. Avery D, Putnam on one of our city railroad cars on last Wednesday night serves to illustrate forcibly the increasing boldness of the rowdy classes in this city. The outrage referred to, which was murderous in intent and bloody in execution, excites a well- grounded fear in the mind of every honest citizen, The argument that people may avoid trouble with ruffians of the character of this Foster, by shunning their haunts and keeping aloof from their associations, will not hold good in every instance. Take, for Instance, this latest outrage. Here was a respectable citizen, accompanied by two ladies, travelling in one of our city railroad cars, A drunken rascal, with lust and murder lurking in his heart, gets into the same ear with the unfortunate gentleman who now dies at death’s door. He insults one of the ladies, and because the gentleman mildly re- monstrates with him he determines on re- venge. Waiting until his victim is about to leave the car he prepares to carry out his re- vengeful intention. Accordingly, when Mr. Putnam steps from the car he is felled to the ground by the blow ofan iron hook, which the would-be murderer obtained, it is said, from the driver. This, in brief, is the whole story, the full particulars of which the readers of the HERALD have already been made acquainted with. A more unwarranted and bloody outrage it would be difficult to conceive. No offence given, not even an angry word escaped from the lips of the nearly murdered man, and yet, for venturing mildly to remonstrate with a ruffian who was insulting to a lady, a respect- able citizen nearly lost his life. We cannot regard this act but with horror. It was the boast one time of the New Yorker that a lady could travel unprotected through our city without fear of insult; it was also a boast that if an unprotected female chanced to be insulted no New Yorker would sit by and tamely wit- ness it; but we are afraid that time has passed away, and the fear which the roughs have instilled into the minds of respectable men is exercising an unwholesome influence. Interfere with one of these fellows and it is almost at the cost of your life. Armed with either a knife, revolver or slungshot, or possi- bly all three, these fellows prowl through the streets, travel on the street cars, lounge round the barrooms, loaf at the hotels, and are, in fact, to be met with everywhere and at all times of the day and night. They are ever ready to obey the evil instincts which they cherish and which many of them are unable to restrain. The majority of these rascals are known to the police and to the car conductors. The latter are in dread of them, for these fel- lows travel in groups and can awe a conductor into quietness should he dare to interfere with* them. Those who travel on the street cars at late hours of the night often come in contact with the very same class of men as he who nearly murdered Mr. Putnam on last Wednesday night. The just and severe pun- ishments which of late have been meted out to evil-doers in our criminal courts have evidently little or no effect on them. They run on in their mad career of guilt until the gibbet is the end of some, the bullet from the pistol of a companion in crime the doom of others, while a number of others escape altogether their due deserts and still continue to disturb the peace of society by acts as murderous as the one we have just cited. In order to prevent a recurrence of these outrages, which of late have been numerous, we suggest that the police authori- ties co-operate with the railroad companies {n the establishment of some plan by which a policeman may be summoned to the immediate sssistance of the conductors in case of need. Strengthen the conductors by assuring them of the assistance of the police, and there will be fewer of these dreadful occurrences. And for the cowardly ruffian who assaulted Mr. Put- nam, let justice, full and ample, be meted out to him to serve as warning to the hundreds of others who parade our streets and hold the lives of their fellow man of small account when they interfere, no matter how remotely, with them and the gratification of their lusts. The Londen “Examiner” “Times.” The London Zzaminer of April 15 has a lengthy and not wholly complimentary article on the London Times, The article is headed, “The Decline of the Times.” Some facts and not a little sentiment, in the course of the article, find expression, The Zimes is always proud and sometimes slow. It does not like bogus despatches, and is therefore occa- sionally beat by the Tclegraph and the Daily News and a paper called the Heho. Wisely, we think, the Zimes, which knows what it wants to do, never goes back upon itself, What is said of the Z'imes has so often been said of the New York Heratp that we have no difficulty in understanding the motive of the attack. The Hsratp has often been dying ; but to-day, in spite of its long stand- ing consumption, it has no rival among the healthy journals on the American Continent. What the Heratp has for many years been to the United States the Zimes has for over half a century been to Great Britain, and, indeed, to the whole of Europe. To be attacked is the privilege of the great. To snarl is the privilege of the small. The London Z'imes will, we think, survive the mild attack of the &zaminer, NEW PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. * From Harper & Brothers:—‘Heat,” by Jacob Ab- Dott.

The HxrRarp's special correspondent at Paris sends the following despatches relative to the progress of operations against that city :— Panis, April 27—Evening. NON-INTERFERENOE WITH RAILWAYS. General Cluseret has issued orders direct- ing the National Guards not to interfere with the railways. PROCUREUR OF THE COMMUNE. Raoul Rigault has been nominated for the office of Procureur of the Commune. THE BOMBARDMENT OF FORTS D'Iss¥ AND MONTROUGE, From six o'clock last evening Fort d’Issy has been bombarded with extreme violence; also Fort Montrouge. A complete hail of pro- jectiles has been poured upon them. Fort Vanvres has been seriously damaged also. DETERMINATION OF THE NATIONALS, The National Guards have expressed the determination rather thdn surrender or be driven out of the forts they will blow them up. A RECONNOISSANOE. Yesterday, in a reconnoissance by the 185th battalion from the barricades towards Ville- juif, forty of the Communists were sur- rounded by the Versailles cavalry and retreated.: Four of them were captured and immediately shot. One, however, whe was not killed, managed to regain the lines of the insurgents in a dying condition. He was taken to the Bicétre Hospital. SEORET SITTING OF THE COMMUNE. Yesterday a secret sitting of the Commune was held, at which it was insisted that re- prisals should be made, and that hostages should be shot. Among them the Archbishop D’Arboy was named. The proposal was over- ruled, A COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. A commission of inquiry was sent to Ville- juif yesterday, but for what purpose is not stated. BARRICADES TAKEN AND RETAKEN. The Versaillists yesterday carried the bar- ricades on the Rue Perronet by storm and in the most gallant manner, but the position was found to be entirely untenable, and they were retaken by the Nationals after desperate fighting. MAOMAHON’S HEADQUARTERS. Marshal MacMahon’s headquarters are now at the Chateau Begon. GOVERNOR OF THE INVALIDES ARRESTED. The Governor of the Invalides was arrested yesterday. CONTINUED BOMBARDMENT. The bombardment of Fort d'Issy has con- tinued all day with the greatest violence and with severe effect. THE GUNS ABANDONED. The sailors, who have garrisoned Fort d’Issy, have abandoned the guns of that work, for the storm of shot and shell that has been poured into it renders it impossible for them to remain at their posts. The fort has been 80 badly damaged as to be hardly tenable. HEAVY. LOSSES. The losses of the insurgents have been very heavy. Inorder to give an idea I may say that in the Hospital Neiker, in the Rue Sevres, which contains five hundred and forty-five beds, every one is filled with a wounded man. The other hospitals are in a similar condition. OIVILIANS FORCED TO FIGHT. All the civilians are now being forced to fight; also those soldiers who have been wounded in the war but not seriously disabled. TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN. Some of the National Guards have dressed themselves as sailors in order to entice the loyal sailors to desert. THE PRESS GANG AT WORK. Fifty men and boys who had nothing better to do, and who were lounging about the Northern Railway station were yesterday sur- rounded by the guards, arrested, and pressed into the service to be unwilling food for powder, Reconnoissance Toward Bagneux—Versailles Troops Repulsed—Cannonade on the West— Fighting at Neuilly—Condition of the Fortsa— A Ponce Congress Proyosed=A Serious Mis- take. Paris, April 28, 1871, The Communists have made a reconnois- sance toward Bagneux, on the south of Paris, driving the Versailles forces before them. REPULSE OF THE VERSAILLES TROOPS. The Versaillists have made three attacks upon the railroad station at Clamart, and were repulsed on each occasion. THE OANNONADE ON THE WEST. The Clichy batteries have silenced the fire ot; the Versailles batteries at Asnitres. Fort du\Mont Valérien is firing actively to-day with ten n?avy guns. FIGHTING AT NEUILLY. General Dombrowski reported that vigorous attacks have been made upon his advance posts, and the) Eightieth battalion was forced to abandon a barricade in the Avenue Perro- net (Neuilly); but the Ninety-fourth bat- talion drove back*<the enemy and recaptured the barricade. The General adds that we hold all our positions, the enemy has retired along the whole line and firing has ceased. CONDITION OF THE FORTS. In Fort Vanvres one piece of artillery has been dismounted and Fort Issy is crippled, but the Communists claim that they can hold both of those forts indefinitely. A PEAOE CONGRESS PROPOSED. The Republican League of Paris urges the assemblage of a congress at Lyons or Grena- ble to frame an honorable arrangement for peace. A SERIOUS MISTAKE. Advices from Paris say the Communists have, through mistake, attacked and captured - a Prussian battery. Its restitution has been demanded. A NEW PAPER, A new journal, called the Paix, has ap- peared in Paris, but will probably soon be suppressed, THE SIOK MAN’S QUARTERS. The Ottoman Embassy in Paris has been struck by two shells, Bombardment of the Forts—Affairs on the West—Losses of the Commune—A Rumor from Toulouse=Plenty of Provisions—A Last Delay—The Freemasons to Fight for Paris. Paris, April 27—Evening. The Communists have established batteries at the St. Ouen gate in Montmartre. THE BOMBARDMENT OF THE FORTS, The bombardment of the southern forts to-day was feebler than yesterday, The calibre of the Versailles guns is small. The fury of the combatants is increasing. ‘ AFFAIRS ON THE WEST. The Versailles batteries at Courbevoie yes- terday, bombarded the Maillot gate and the Arc de Triomphe. The Communists have es- tablished a battery on the road to Asnitres for the purpose of bombarding Gennevillier, Colombes and Courbevoie. LOSSES OF THE COMMUNE. An official statement of the losses of the Communists, to Thursday, sums up 9,000 killed and wounded, besides 3,000 prisoners. A RUMOR FROM TOULOUSE. Mot @ Ordre of last evening alleges that the people of Toulouse have risen in insurrection, and that many of the streets are filled with barricades. PLENTY OF PROVISIONS. The Commune has forbidden all interference with traffic in merchandise and the manage- ment of the railways. The commissariat is provisioned for a long period. A LAST DELAY, A last delay of forty-eight hours has been granted to persons between the ages of nine- teen and forty to join their battalions in the National Guard. Neglect to do so will be punished by court martial. THE FREEMASONS. The Freemasons have informed the Com- mune that, having exhausted all means of con- ciliation at Versailles, they have resolved to plant their banners on the ramparts of Paris, and should they be struck will march against the Versaillists and appeal to their brother masons to join them. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The Paris Commune has forbidden requisi- tions on the property of foreigners. Rochefort Declares War on Church Property. M. Henri de Rochefort has a manifesto in his journal, the Mot @Ordre, on “The Church and Its Treasures,”’ in reference to the recent requisitions at Notre Dame, He says that he not only does not dis- avow the support he has given to this spoliation, but if he knew of any other treasure belonging to the clergy he would indicate it tothe Commune, “Our eternal belief,’’ he says, ‘is that Jesus Christ having been born in a stable, the only treasure that Notre Dame ought to possess is @ bundle of straw." As for the goods of the Church:—‘'We do not hesitate to declare them national property, for the single reason that they proceed from the generosity of those to whom the Church has promised Paradise, and the promise of imaginary returas made to obtain any property is qualifed as swindling by every code. * © ‘Your purse or bell’—such is in the present day the only programme of the Catholic clergy, and, as the French nation no longer believes in hell, it is natural that in case Of need it should take back the purse.” Minister Washburne and the Representative of the Helvetian Republic Try Their Hands at Mediation—Their Application to M. Thiere—General Sheridan Charged with the Negotiations. The Paris Mot d’Ordre publishes, under the title 0 “A New Hope of Conciliation,” the following ar- ucle:— M. Kern, Minister of the Helvetian republic, and Mr. Washbourne, the United States Minister, who have given the Dational case so many proofs of their personal sympathy during the last six months, are moved at the terrible civil war which desolates our country, an: piled to M.

Your correspondent left the outposts of the government troops at four o’clock last even- ing. At that time Fort Mont Valerien was pouring a heavy fire into the Point de Jour, completely silencing the National batteries, NEW BATTERIES. Three new and very heavy batteries have been erected by the Versaillsts which will open upon the insurgent position, but I am not permitted to state the locality they arein. The fire from them must prove very effective and add much to the ruin that is now to be wit- nessed on every side. THE EXODUS FROM PARIS. Over two thousand of the inhabitants of Paris fled from the doomed city yesterday, reaching this place. They are delighted at being released from their bondage, and escap- ing from the horrors by which they were sure rounded, A PROOLAMATION FROM THIERS, President Thiers is about issuing a pro- clamation detailing the movements of the troops and giving an account of the fighting that has taken place.

Insurgents Defeated—Advanced Works of Issy Captured—An Important Position Occupied— The Finaacial Question. VERSAILLES, April 28, 1871. The Communists have been defeated at Les Bruytre de Sevres, and some of their officers captured. ADVANOED WORKS OF ISSY OAPTURED. It is rumored that the Versailles army has taken the advanced works at Fort Issy, that the barracks of the fort are entirely destroyed, and that there is a breach in the walls at least five yards square. LES MOULINICEAUX OCOUPIED. The Versaillists yesterday expelled the Com- munists from an important position in the vil- lage of Les Mouliniceaux and occupied it in considerable force. THE FINANOIAL QUESTION. In the Assembly to-day M.

Thiers, in a speech to the Assembly to- day, tells the country that the situation is painful. French blood is still flowing, but it is consoling to know that the ‘dénouement is near. All are doing their duty, especially the army, to which he alludes in terms of high eulogy. It is, said M. Thiers, commanded by a chevalier without fear and without reproach, who, completely unfettered in his actions, has now completed the investment of the works of Paris and commenced active operations, Fort Issy has been silenced and Les Mouti- niceaux captured. ‘‘We,” continued the speaker, ‘“‘are not the assailants, We are the defenders of law and order. We wish con- ciliation, but we also wish to save liberty from despotism and from unbridled license.” After elcquently defending the republicanism of the Assembly M. Thiers concluded as fol- lows :—“‘The insurgents are isolated, and all France is with the government and the Assembly in our efforts to combine unity with liberty.” Proposition to Shoot Archbishop D’Arboy. Brussers, April 28, 1871 The Htoite publishes a report from Paris that four National Guards taken prisoners by Versailles having been shot, a proposal was made in the Commune to shoot tho Arch- bishop of Paris in retaliation for the wurege, but it was rejected, 7 GERMANY AND THE POPE. Roman Catholic Deputation to the Emperor William on the Crisis in Rome. Imperial Prussian Relations Towards the Pontiff and Italy. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. BRRLIN, April 28, 1871. The Roman Catholic movement which ts In active Progress on the Continent of Europe for the support of the temporal power and the assertion of the com- Plete independence of the Pope in Rome is becoming auite interesting and of very direct importance to the lay governments, ‘The Catholics of Germany remain very zealous in their pursuit of the work,, and are firm im the post- tion which they first assumed on the subject. 1am enabled to report by cable telegram to the HERALD that a deputation of German Catholics have had an audience of the Emperor William, at which they “prayed his Majesty to intervene to pre- vent the occupation of Rome by the Itallan govern- ment.!” It has since been extensively circulated that the Emperor on that occasion promised to take some action in the premises, but the Prussian Cross Ga- zetie “thas been authorized’! to contradict this re- port, and adds that the reply given the deputation did not commit the Prussian government to any Positive line of action, and that no “promise of any Kind was made by his Majesty.” Prince Bismarck’s Defluition of the Prussian Diplomacy. The present movement of the Roman Catholics of Germany goes far to confirm an opinion which has been prevalent in Europe for a considerable time past—and which is entertained very generally just now in America—to the effect that the Court of the Holy See, as well as the members of the Sacred College, are exceedingly anxious to lean on impe- rial Germany for temporal support, and thus to transfer the honor, at least—if not the exact title— of an “eldest son of the Church” to the Emperor. The subject matter of a Catholic appeal to the ruler of Germany, asking him to intervene in behalf of the Pope, is not exactly new. During the month of October, 1870, his Holiness addressed, through the Prussian Ambassador in Kome, Count Von arnim, an inquiry co the vrussian authorities at Versailles, asking whether the government of his Majesty, in case the Pope should leave Reme, would advocate at Florence that tnis should be done with full honors. The telegram reads as follows:— RoME, Oct. 7, 1870. THR AMBASSADOR TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE CON- FEDERATION, at Versailles:— The Cardinal Secretary of State inquires whether the Pope, in case ne should desire to leave Rome, can reckon upon the support of his Majesty the King as to permission to Cry unhindered in a fitting manner. It seems that the idea of departure gains more consistency because the evacuation of the Quirinal has been demanded by the Italian mili- tary authorities; also the apartment of the Pope and the archives are sealea up, and two Cardinals living in @ Papal palace have received orders to leave within twenty-four hours to make room for General La Marmora. Besides which a military domiciliary visit has been paid to a nunnery on the pretext of searching for Zouaves, COUNT ARNIM. The intention of the Pope to leave Rome was, from causes connected with the attitude of his Holt- ness and the traditions of the Papal See, unexpected by the Prussian government. In the meantime it did not hesitate at once to intervene with the Italian government in conformity with the wishes of the Pope, and to communicate the fact of this having been done to the Roman government in the contin- gency that the intention should be carried out. The following is the text of the telegram:— VERSAILLES, Oct. 8, 1870. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE CONFEDERATION TO COUNT ARNIM, AMBASSADOR IN ROME:— The first sentence of your telegram of yesterday I answer, in conformity with the commands of his Majesty, in the affirmative. A telegram, herrea. ted, goes to Florence a a witi this message. V. BISMARCK. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE CONFEDERATION TO THE AMBASSADOR, COUNT BRASSIER, at Flurence:— Cardinal Antonelli has asked our Ambassador if the Pope, in case he should desire to leave Romie, could reckon upon the support of his Majesty that he should be allowed to leave unhindered and in a fitting manner. His ear has ordi e to announce this ques- tion in the affirmative. His Majesty is convinced that the freedom and dignity of the Pope will be re- spected by the Italian government under all circum- stances, even if the , contrary to all expecta- tions, should design to transfer iis place of residence. His Majesty charges your Excellency to express this hope. His bos poe $ does not consider the North German Confederation called upon to interfere un- asked in the political affairs of osher countries, yet he still considers it asa duty owing to the North German Catholics to take Pas in maintaining the pa aes independence ol the Head of the Catholic Churcl V. BISMAROK. To this telegram a reply was received from the Italian government to the effect that there could be no doubt of its intention to maintain the dignity and independence of the Pope. GERMANY.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpoy, April 28, 1871, The Partiamentary debate of the exchequer rev- enue provisions of the Gladstone budget pecomes more animated and interesting after each succes- sive adjournment. Subsequent to the transmission of the HERALD cable report of the proceedings which took piace in the House of Commons last night Mr. Disraeli rose in his place, and, notwithstanding the fiscal conces- sions of the government, made an unsparing attack on the entire budget. Hé said that the government, “in frantically aban- doning its other proposal to save the tax of sixpence on incomes, had abandoned its dependence on in- direct taxation. While he deprecated further im- posts on agriculture, he equally deplored leaving the Treasury deficiency to increase year by year. The.Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1869, erred in giving up indirect taxes, and he now sought to re- place them by additions to direct taxation.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Lowe), de- fended the reconstructed budget, and accepted a motion for a postponement of its consideration to Monday next.
