Details of the Murders on the Place de la Roqueite. HOW BISHOP SURAT MET HIS FATE. Indifference of Regere, the Most Callous of the Herd, in Court. APPEARANCE OF TH CULPRITS, VERSAILLES, August 9, 1871, “We shall become well conducted criminals at fast. On the first day of our trial we laughed, joked, read novels and newspapers, paited our avoca(s on the shoulder—which pattinus were re- turned—and munched sugar plums brought into Court by our amiable tri:nd Regere, whose pockets Were well lined with those swect,dainties, In tact we behaved ia the most unseemly manner, ‘What did tnat matter? We are no common crimi- nals, Traupmanu’s fame 1s now forgotten. business was put retail! compared with ours. We are wholesale merchauts in blood and fire, de- bauchery and infamy; we call ourselves political offenders; we shali tive in history, and yet who can telithe number of our victims and destruction of Property we snd our sateliltes have caused. Yesterday the authorities separated us from each other by placiog gendarmes between us on our criminal benches; to-day our books and papers have been taken from us; we can no longer indulge in the perusal of the latest journals to while away the weary hours of this tedious process. We haye no | alternative but to sieep. How many days will pass before some of us, at any rate, will sleep the sleep Of death? Conscience makes cowards of us all, In our cells at night we no longer assume the inso- lent bravado we dispiayed before the Third Conscu We Guerre.” THE COURT THIS MORNING. The sun streamed brightly througn the windows Of the riding school when the Court entered this morning, while the noise of trumpets, of siveing horses and other sounds we are accustomed to hear in a cavalry camp reudered the evidence of the wit- messes totaily Inaudivie to all except those in their immediate neigubornood, This 1s e capital ridmg | school, Justice. but it is not adapted for a court of Its acoustic properties are aboml- nable. No sooner did the President announce that the Court was opened than, as usual, the barristers took random shots at the prosecution, AN avocat declared to M. le President that import- ant papers had been abstracted from the dossier | and replaced by biauk papers or copies, so that tho defence could not find the elements of the accusa- tion, and he therefore demanded that they snould be immediately replaced. The Commissaire Kap- Portur took exception to the word sousiraite. ‘There was, of course, a skirmish between the Rap- porteur and the bar, witch ended in notbing but a delay in the termination of the terrible drama. THE ACCUSED FEXRE appeared, if possibile, more ghastly pale than on the Previous days of tral. Some amusement was oc- casioned at the commencement of the proceedings. When the tirst witness wus called twice, did others with different patronyimics present theuselves, At last, Wearled with swearing wrong men, the Presi- dent exclaimed ina tone of despair, * Voyons done! cannot you tind me the right man?’’. Yester- day objection was taken by counsel to the evidence of a wituess because he tne President oui, mon Colonel, instead of oui, mon President, Yo-day the second witness addressed the President as oui, mon Colonel, throughout his evidence, and yet no notice was taken of his dog so, The third witness, Vatiier, a plumber, witha leaden face, maue his appearance in prison dress, beiug at preseat detained in the Prison de la Ro- quetie, where he will remain for etghicen mouths for having appropriated a horse, the property of another. Notaing can well be more simple or uube- coming than the dark gray prison dress, and yet how respectable the imprisoved piumber looked in contrast to the members of the Commune ! VATAER DEPUSED to having been im prison on the 24th May, when | thirty or forty foderals arrived, accompaniea with @ lew avengers of the republic, conducted by a fair man, With his mustache en /rossd, or bristied, who held 14 his hand a list, and said, “We want six men, you know. We require six hostages.’’ The Archbishop, M. Bonjeau, M. Deguerry, Peres Ducoudrey, Alurd and Clercq were brought out and = shot. The witness de- clared that he hat not sesn Ferrs, but pointed out the accused Lullier as resembling the man who had coimimanded the assassins of the hostages. Luilier sioou up, shrugged his shoulders, and regarded the prisoner with a derisive smile, which seemed to say, “Poor man, what a fool you are |” ‘*Well,” said the witness, “after that I have but one more word to say—there 18 @ strong likes ; Luiller’s siniie Was most remarkable—it was , ness.”” made for etlect—one of those fadescribavle grins which none other but Luilier or one of those pliabie india-rubber heads could effect. One of the journals this morning considered Luilier’s smile ay tender and iwnocent.. For my own part I could discover nothing In It but mocking tusolence. Lullier’s man- ner gives promise of exciting and violent scenes when he shall be pui on trial. TUE NEXY WITNESS called was a young stureut, also a prisoner in the Prison de ta Roquette, Saw the Archbishop and the other hostages led forth for execu. on. Heard Monsiegneur Darboy exclaim, “{ have written to Versailles, but have received nO answer, 1 am in favor of Nberty and I die an tonest man,” and then the witness heard the discharge of frearms, 1 have often remarked With astonisiiment the exiraordinary volubility of French witnesses, No matter what stauon in iife they hold, with rare exceptions, their evidence 1s run Off without uesitation, and generally diverges to subjects which have no direct connec.

PERNY, an apostolic missionary in China, who had been a host in the Koquette prison, was of the most in- teresting character. Unlike his predecessor in ap- pearance ana speech, the missionary mounted the steps of the platiorm and advanced between the armed gendarmes towards the President of the Court, Arrived at the foot of the steps leading to the dais he remained immovable, with his hands laced on his breast in the attitude of prayer, M. erny is pale, tail, tain, erect, ape fifty-three years—in appearance he is bl e wears long hair, white mustache and barviche, a pair of fiige spectactes, misstouary’s black robe and cloak, broad-brimmed black felt hat and thick walking stick complete the costume of the Chinese missionary. He answerei! the questions put to him by the Presi- dent with great precision. He had remained ten days in the prison of Mazas, and when trans- ferred to the Roquette he rode in the same carriage with the Archbishop. The horror of the journey was Increased by the brutality of thelr persecutors, The hestages were conveyed in the prison van, which, divided into small cells, each just large enough for one prisoner. One of the sutlerers, a miss. onary priest, told me yesterday that the federais forced wwo prisoners into each compartment. They were forced to sit on each other during the rough ‘jolungs over the uneven roads torn up for barricades, and, convinced they were making one step more towards death, their suffer- ings were dreadful, When tue austere-looking mis- sionary, Perny, declared solemnly and deuverately, without che siightest excitement, “For twenty-ilve years | have jived among savages, but I have never seen anything so horribie—throughout the route cries of death and insults of every kind.” ‘The audt- ence shuddered with emouion, and regarded the ac- cused with iooks of intense disgust. m. Perny de- clared that the turnkeys had behaved admirably, and trted to save the hostages, On the 27th May he Jett the prison, but having wandered in the streets at the risk of his life he determined to re-enter the prison of the Roquette, SEVERAL TURNKEYS AND OTHER WITNESSES followed, corroboraiing the above. Among them the most remarkabie was the Puymoyen, employed ai the prison o! the Jeunes Détenus; he had ample facility for witnessing borrors, ‘the Commune had arrived at the Grande Roquette; they had estab- lished a court martial at the opposite prison, to judge all taken with arms in tneir hands. M, ymoyen gave his evidence in @ singularly simpie but earnest manuer. He recounted how a gendarme was escorted by A TXOOP OF RUFFIANS COMMANDED BY A WOMAN, with tremendous chignon and armed with a rife, “We are going to eat some gendarmes,” howled the crowd. The wretched man Was interrogated by & court martial composed of striplings of seventeen years of age, “Are you married:” ‘Yes. “Have you any children?” “1 have eight.” ‘The witness tried to interiere. The roaring ruiiians menaced his life. He entered the prison amid the cries and yells of cannibals, “Hear me,” sald tae witness, He was a@ National Guard. I shall never forget his face, From his MUSTACHE DRIPPED RED DROPS. 1 asked myself i it was blood, The man ap- proaciied me, and breatuing on me with fetid breath at the same time tat he tutoyait me, as if to give me a taste beforehand of Communist equality. ‘vis donc, mon vieur seve; We sais 1.

At last they assassiiated him aad then vnrew his body into acart. ‘The witness also recounted four osher MURDERS COMMITTED ON THE PLACE DE LA RO+ QUETTE. Monseignenr Surat was among the number, A Woiwan armed with a@revoiver and poignard bran- dished the latter in tis face. The bishop covered his Jace with is hands, Finding that she couid not reach it with her poignard she steppea back a pace and levelled her revolver. ‘Grdce!” cried the bishop. “Grice! dis tu; eh bien, voila du | ma gre’” and she fired. The priest feil—the seeth. ing crowd applauded, While the witnesses recowited tuese horrors how was Kegére, who appears THE Most CALLOCS OF Tite A#RD, employed? Reading a newspaper. A gendarme took tt from him. This prisoner U4s a very repulsive aspect, and takes every oppurtunity of calling at- teniion to hitisel! ; tor lustance, when he enters the Court he looks towards the audience, smiles, nods his head, bows, waves lis hand; vut try to object of his greeting and you discover that his supposed friend is a myth; the pantoume has been | periorwed to induce beticl that there still remains some one who takes interest im this arch criminal.

Cminently a poseur, his ausvers Were prouipied by vautty—they were pre- | tenuous, maladroit, crafiy and often absurd, The Urst auswer made by Assi indicated lis tatention to tik.

VERSAILLES, August 10—Night, It was evident from the commencement of the proceedings this morning that the public mind has at last awakened to the horrors of tue Commune. ‘The riding school rapidly filled and presented a pic- turesque and lively appearaace. Priests, monks, oml- cers and gayly-dressed ladies were there, on the tip. toe of expectation, to see the entry of the prisoners, A report was also in ctrcniation that Rochefort, Ros sel and M. Ernest Pecard would be examined, wh | Assi that he bad read a jeter stauing that As". was apr r in no small degree, added to the attraction of the trial. It was expected that the performance would be good to-day, and the beggarly show of empty benches was no longer visibic. Regére appeared as lyely ag a kitten, He was at his old tricks again, smiled patronizingly on the sightseers, bowed and kissed his hands to 1maginary friends in all parts of the Court for several minutes before he seated him- self. This performance he enacted on several occa- sions during the day. Shortly after midday the President declared the Court opened, and then, as usual, the avocats went in for their morning meal, On this occasion it was an attack on the press, THREATENING LETTERS. M. Bigot commenced by declaring that daily he and his colleagues received anonymous letters con- taining threats, but of that they were not afraid, They had, however, to submit to attacks from the press, A journalist might say that a prisoner was & poseur, an avocat absurd, but he had no right to misstate facts, The dispute between Assi and the witness Girard concerning the quantity of sulfure de carbone, in which one declared it to be 300 grammes, the other three kilogrammes, had been stated in the Gau/ois to be 300 kilogrammes, The article was signed El Cadi, and the person who “sheltered himself under that name should know that in the country of tne Cadis they beat liars on the soles of their feet, The mistake arises from the fact that the person alluded to works for several journals.’” “It is perfectly indifferent to us whether the jour- nalist writes for one or several newspapers,’” “No personalities,” said tho President, M. Bigot also complained that the same redacteur had said that Lieutenant Serres had been present at tne execution of General Lecomte, whereas he was only present at the assassination of Captain Combs, REGERE RAMPANT. Up jumped Regere and asked with solemnity, in the absence of his legal adviser, to say a few words, He had been ‘‘insulted in the Figaro.’? The pris- oners had newspapers to-day, and Regcre cited two articles. “One day,” sald'the accused, “I am called assassin, on the morrow a Viliaim—I, who am certainly one of the least compro » ised.’? THE FIRST WITNESS called was a stately personage in blue coat, glit but- tons and patent leather shoes, the Consailler Generat de la Nievre, M. Pellant. When he heard that Assi was one of the accused as an lonest man he thought it hisduty to come and declare toat, In his opinion, the prisoner was neither an executioner, an assassin, a thief, nor an incendiary, He produced a letter from Assi concerning the dispute between M, Schneider and his workmen, in which the writer demanded employment for certain workmen with- out bread, and disputed the tariffs with M. Schnoei- der, Whom Assi called the Tyrant of Svracuse. The second and the third document produced referred vo THE STRIKE AT CREUZOT. The President interfered, saying—‘‘Bbut the Coun- | the way in order to bid the distinguished strangers cil of War has notulng to do with what passed at Creuzot.

He tnere- fore demanded that the witness should be citea and that he should designate the Prussian officers to whom the ‘eter referred. He would prepare nis conclusion’ so that the President might, through the diplomatic channel, ask for EXPLANATIONS FROM M. DISMARCK.

The Prince of Wales’ Opinion of His Reception— A Knighthood Refused by the Lord Mayor—Departure of the Royal Yacht. DUBLIN, August 9, 1871, The royal visit has come to an end, and, notwith- Standing the disgraceful fracas that took place in the Park on Sunday, I think the illustrious visitors | are well pleased with thelr reception, That recep- | tion, it 18 true, was not so enthusiastic as that accorded to the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1868; but it was worthy of the distinguished visitors and the citizens of Dublin, It was respectful, tt was dignified, it was becoming; in short, it was everything that it ought to have been. The people did not prostrate themselves before their guests | witn Eastern obsequiousness and servility; nor did they go wild with joy as on the occasion of the visit of George LV., half a century ago; but, while mam- taining a suitable reserve, they showed the heir apparent and his relatives all the respect due to their exalted position. THE PRINOK OF WALES EXPRESSED HIMSELF WELL PLEASED with the reception given him by the citizens of Dub- lin, Nor did he for @ moment attribute the meeting | of Sunday laat to any desire on the part of the peo- | ple to insult nim or to mar the “success” of his visit. So, at least, he told the Lord Mayor of Duvitu. It is, then, gratifying to know that he has formed such a favorabie opinion of us, and that his visit is likely co | be assoctated with pleasant reminiscences, I am able to say that by his outspoken wishes of pros- perity to Ireland, his unaffected candor, his geniat isposiiion, he has made a most favorable impres- sion on the people of this country; and it is to be hoped that the goed effects produced by his visit will not be allowed to come to nanght. That this im. pression should be maintained 1s, in the present tem per of the times, an absolute necessity; and it cun only be maintained by move frequent visits, THE CITIZENS OF DUBLIN HAVE pocketed eee by the preseuce of the royal princes among us; and I am told that vourists have beeau inauced to prolong their visit, owing to the lavor- able impression made upon them by the festivities of last week. Ail seemed to regret ‘hat the visit wus about to come to an end. Aud when the time ar- rived for the departure Of our royai guests the s reets, from the Viceregal Lodge to the ratlway station, were crowded vy persons of all classes, Who lined a respectful fureweil. It is to be regretied that cuere was an Occasional hiss mingled up with the almost universal cheers; but it 1s gardly necessary to reler | to this fact, as there 18 always somebody in the crowd ready to show dislike even {or the most popular pere sonage. AT KINGSTOWN, too, crowds assembiel, who gave the royal party as they went on board a hearty cheer, which was warmly acknowled4ed. And here an tnetdent oc- curred which [cannot pass over in silence. The Lord Lieutevant, at he luncheon given on board the royal yacit immediately prior to the departure of the royai Visitors, intimated to the Lord Mayor bis mtention of bestowing on him WHE HONOR OF KN{GHTAvOD, The Prince of Wales. it 18 said, united in rie. The Lord Mayor, however, thought it to decline the protferea diguity, and in domg 80 he hag acied in accordance with the feviings and wishes of | his fellow citizeus, The Lord Mayor, it is well | known, did honor to the e:ty over wnich he presides | during the royal visit, He Was put to tremendous | expense; no time nor mouey was spared | on bis part to make Duin wortny of | bis guests, Under these circumstauces the people think that che coubtiul houor of knigh hvod was qu.te too paltry a reward for such services, ‘and that Duplin would not be honored vy such a mark of iavor, They think that at least & m conferred on lim, especialy as he tilled most worthily, on a former occasion, the oitice of Lord Mayor, ani ihat as a | successful merchant and an eatensive landed pro- | prietor he has abundant means i maintain the latter dignity.

The International ts organized on the model of the Jesuit order, in a strictly despotic fashion, During the London Exhibition in 1862 the refugees of ali countries, and tae workimen who flocked to London trom all parts, conceived the idea of found- ing an association composed ot artisans without dis- tnction of nationality. Two years afterwards, in 1864, the society was constituted, The plan is sald to be the work of Karl Marx, who is giited with a spectal talent for organization. Ihe fundamental idea of the society is: at Workmmen suall entirely ignore political and religious questions and pursue one single and common interest—the strugyie against capital. Under the monarchy as under tne republic, 4n Germany as in France, the artisans are united by this community of Interests. Tie International is the form in which the working Classes throughout the civilized world are to organize themseives ana fight the great vattie of emancipauon, For the | Jesuit order the different countries and States are only so;many provinces of their society; in the eyes of tne International they form so many sections. There Is an English, au American, a Russtan, & French, a Belgian, an Italian, @ Spanish, a Dutch and a German section, In‘the last are included Aus- (ria and Switzerland, Under the name of “Congress” a parliament of the working classes assembles periodically, and peremptorily (lecides al! questions that concera the society as a Whole, This parliament possesses egis- lauve powers, and in all disputes its verdict is final, Coexistent with, dnd appotuied by tt, is a central committee or hign international counell, which forms @ centre for the various sub-divisions, and 13 at the same time the managing committee of the association. This council, to which all correspon- dence aod all reports concerning the society are ad- dressed, draws up the programines to be submitted to (he Congress and proposes resolutions; tt orders strikes, sustains tuem with the resources of the association, revokes them, and is, in short, the very soul of the organism, (or everything is set,in motion in the Congress vy its mem- bers or delegates. Subordinate to these general councus are the provinciat councils, which are for the sections of the society whit the central com. mitiee is for the whole association, and form @ con- necting link between these sections and the Su- preme Council. Te latter has its seat in London (lor no continental State would tolerate a body of men who have systematized civil war), and is mainly composed of Englishmen and Germans. } The most prominent among them appears to be George Odger. One of the corresponding secreta- ries 1s Kari Marx (for Germany and Holland), who 43 generally looced on as the mainspring of the whole machinery, The principal agent tor Russia 1s Netscuaje: Mazzinl, who for @ long time was wrongiuil used Of being the intelectual origi- nator of the society, has protested in the most en- ergetio language, both against the acts of the Partsian Coinmune and the principles of the [nter- national, With regard to its pecuniary resources the associ- ation, in its pompous inaniiestoes, always reckous in large sums, Jt claims to have constantly 2,000,009 Uhalers at its disposal, and pretends that it numbers 6v0,v00 members iu France; while a document of the ex-imperial Freuch government (aid before the correctional trivunal on 23d June, 1870), gave the nuiber of the Frenca members as ouly 435,756. In Belgium the international claiuns 200,600 members, in Switzerland 60,000, in Itwty 140,000, 1n Germany 300,000, and im Spain 40,000. “Jn England the asso- ciation 18 relauvely weak, for in Great Britain tt lays claim to no more than 8,000 adherents. ‘I'he danger uowever, Iles icss 1a the number of the afl. lated than in the principies of the assuciation and its extraordinary activity.
