“TOE EUROPEAN SPHCTRE. The International—Its Lead- ing Spiric. ADDRESS TO SENWOR ZORILLA. The Society in London and in Germany. The Leading Spirit of tho, Internationale—Dr. Karl Marx—A Sketch of His Life. Lonvon, August 18, 1871. Tne International Workingmen's Aagoctation has been, from the very moment of its foundation up to the present day, almost entirely the work of a single man. True, this work became possible, be- cause the elements were suMicientiy ripe for it; but itis Just as true, too, that tt would probably have proved @ failure had a strong hand and a powerful intellect not have taken the bridle. ‘To begin with the @raft of the first proclamation of vhe society and of its statutes (28th September, 1664) up to the amaliest details of the present activity of the asso- olauon, everything has been done by Dr. Karl Marx, a German emigrant residing for somethiag luke twenty-two years in London. Karl Marx was born at Treves in 1818, and 1s, consequently, now in his ffty-(hird year. A middie- sized, rather stout and very handsome man, with an ample gray beard and with plenty of long gray | hair, Dr, Marx ts, 80 to say, breathing health and | tntelliwence. Exceedingly simple and Kind in his manner, he fascinates every one on. the first approach, and makes one uncommonly communt- | cative. But should you even be reticent, it would | not prevent bim from at once making out what | you came for and how far you are to be trusted. He has a peculiar manner of looking closely into your eyes, as if he was pumping out your most secret thoughts. Being short-sighted and | usipg always an eyeglass, he produces through this + Manner of ooking ut people a somewhat aisagreea- | bie impression, éVen on those who have no particu: | lar secret to hide, This peculiar demeanor must have been developed in him through long years of a conspiratory life and a consequent necessity of be- | ing very carefal concerning people with whom he | came into contact. Kar! Marx studied law in Bonn and Berlin, but ° s00n turned all his attention to philosophy (Heget’s especially), and afterwards to politics and political economy. In 1841 he took his professorship (Privat- docent) at Boun, and became in tue foilowing year tne editor of the Rheintsche Zeliung of Cologne, the first paper openly opposed to the government of Prussia, In spite of a double censorship lusittutead over tne paper Karl Marx managed to say enough to win the sympathies of all the liberals, until then afraid to utter a@ single gyliable of opposiiion, and the gov- ernment suppressed the paper by ao act of force, | Dr. Marx wen. then for safety to Paris, where he edited, with Dr. Arnold Ruge (the German transia- tor of H. T. Buckle’s work, aud now aiso an old emi- = of London), the Deutsci-Tranzisische Jahr- icher, of which, however, only two volumes had been publisned, it being found impossivie to intro- duce them acrous the frontier into Germany. In the | meantime Karl Marx pursued his studies of political economy, which finally became his chief subject. His writings, however, both tn the above-men.- | Moned paper and in the Jahrbicher were so unpalat- able (0 the Prussian government that au urgent demand was addr to Louis Philippe. to expel Dr. Marx from the French territory. Louis Philippe agreed vo the request with his nsual courtesy, and it is Said in Diame Of Alexander von Humboldt that he had a hand in the negotiation of the two courts, consequent on whicn Dr. Marx was forced to remove 4o Belgium, where he lived tiil 1848 as a contributor vo the German Ztiung of Brussels, Tne February revotution having changea fora time the state of political affairs, Marx was again at liberty to xo lo Paris, aud suvsequently Lo Coiogne, here he started the Neue KAvinische Zeitung. En- joying then absolute liberty of the press, the paper created soon a sensation, chiefly by 11s bold defence Of the insurgents Of June, is4%. In May of tne next ‘ear, however, when tue msurrection broke out in xony, Rneimish Prussia, Westola ia aud South Gerwany, the new paper was agaid -uppressed and Dr, Marx, expelled once tore from Germany. went again to Paris, where he turned out to be just as unlucky, for the French authorities propo: to him the alternative either of beg inierné or of jeaving French soil at once. He selecied the second, went to London and resumed there the publication of the same Neue Rieinsche Zeitung im montuly parts up to 1851, when the progress of the reaction- ary spirit became sufmicicotly strong not only to prohibit the importation of the publication, but to | rosoribe even the ovme Of Its editor. About 1843 Dr. Marx became connected with a young countryman of bis, Herr Frederick Engels, @ contributor to the Jahrbdcher as well a3 to the Niue Rhemtscie Zettung. Engels served in 1848 as captain in the Baden army, but afterward under- weat all Marx's vicissitudes, cate over with fim to London, took to the spinuing trade in Manchester, and has never leit since either jus ireud or the | English soll, He 13 now Marx's right-hand man in his Capacity Of Secretary for spain and Belgium at the Generai Council of the Internationale. In fact, the two iriends «lo not only egree in tneir views and ideas, but are equals in all social and intellectual respects. With the exception of the Treasurer of the Association, Sir, Coweil stepney (an Englisuman ol very good family), Marx and Engels are the only | well-to-do persons im the whule of the Association.

Tiis feeling manifests itself in many ways, nor ts it con- fined to the mass of the people, When, on the 16th of last month, the Bavarian troops, returning from France, held their triumphal invited to be present. The Bavarian contingent was under the command of that Prince during the | war, and nothing, therefore, seemed more natural than that he should be present at Munich, whither he hastened from London.

Having realized it in 1864, Marx gave it 80 much of | his time that up to the present day he nas not brought out the second volume of his most import- got work, “Das Kapital, Kritik der Polttusenen | Oekonomie,” a book Which 1s considered by many | people as the most vaiuabvle contribution made to the science of political economy since the days of Ricardo. We may remark, by the way, that the work 1s already translated into Kussian, although uot into French or English, Of his other works can be mentioned here “Der Achizehnie Lrumaire des Louis Bonaparte,”’ pub- lisned Orst in America in 1852, and reprinted in Ger- many in 1870, and “Misere de la Philosophie, Ré. ponse & la Philosophie de la Mis¢re ae M. Proud- hon” (Paris and Brussels, 1847), From the mere gomenciature of these works it will be seen that Dr. Marx writes with great telicity German, French and English, Concerning his private life one thing only is to be added here—that he is the patriarchal father of two grown up and highly accomplished daughters, and the good-natured husband of a lady who has cour- ageously suared all the dangers of his political career, The Internationale in Spain—Getting Ready— The A ‘ese to Zorrilia.

The Voraailles correspondent of the .endon Times, writing under date of August 1, gives sre following account of the trial of Ferré, wee kas been con- demned to death on the chatge ef murdering the Archbishop of Paris and other hostages:—‘Ine charge of murdering the Versatiies hostages or prisoners, though often brought against Ferré, has never been so strongly made Out against him as it was to-day, though bis own special trial, or what- ever the prelimmary ceremony ts to be called, was held nearly a fortnight ago. Indeed, though, as I did not hear all his trial, 1 cannot speak positively, it seemed to me that until to-day the charge of murder was never clearly brought home to him. The witnesses, thongh numerous, gave ludicrously irrelevant evidence and on the whole confuted each other, But the witnesses to-day, or, at any rate, one witness, gave evidence 80 strong and 80 to the point that one is astonished to find it was only given to- day. The astonishment increases on finding that one wil wasa gendarme, a hostage confined in La Roquette, while the Archbishop was being mur- dered, and, therefore, one would have thought tne first man to whom: the police would have ap- pga for information, and whom they ought to have id all ready to hand.

Why did nobody in court, the Presi- dent, Judge Advocate, or prisoner, ask the witness his reason for not coming forward before? ‘The following 1s the most damaging evidence ad- duced against the accused Ferre dumng the Mon- day's sitting of the Council of War :— Costa, # cierk 1n the secretary's oflice at tne prison | of La Roquette, stated that he had several times ‘erré.

The party was headed py a member of the Commune, who Wore, tt not a uniform, at least a kepi and an overcoat. Upon being asked to recognize the prisoner if possible, he declared that Ferré was the man, on their way to execution the hostages were insulted, and when the archbisnop replied, “I have done nothing but endeavor to prevent bloodshed and to do what was right,” he was told, “But you have kept up com- unication with the Versaillais.”” “Ana then,” jded the witness, ‘he wasshot,”’ Another Witness stated that a soldier naving Ine sulted the Archbishop, the representative of the Commane who was in attendance reminded him that he was there upon duty, and not to insult the prisoners. ‘lhe representative of the Commune | then said to the Arcibishop, “Six of our peopie have | been killed by the Versaillais, and you are con- | demneu as hostages.

Council has compelled the latcal governments of Europe to disregard the new doc- trines {t ordained and no longer to look upon Kome as the head and source of the Catholic Church. for them Catholic Rome exits no longer, thanks to in- falltbility; their own su ts have been divided into two categories—Old holics, who are ortho- dox, and NeW Catholics, who are heterodox; and vertiy the Pope 18 regarded as a revolutiontst, not the chief of the o/-divant entire Vhurch, but as much the starter of a new faith a8 Martin Luther, with the chief difference that, unlike Luther, he is accused of having been engaged reformiug of late years by going backward, and to such an’extent that there 1s now no telling where he and ais church stand or what they mean. Such’ is the {rreverant view governing the action of the laical authorities in most parts of Europe, and especially govern the action of the present Italian government, as have lately been informed 1m conversing with several of its principal members. The expectations, en, are great here ameng the poliuctuns and other hangers-on for the loaves and fishes in regard to the expected demise of the Pope; but they Kegan f should be seriously regarded by the religious world, Jor they are fraught with the tate of Catholic unity. ‘The Vatican will have to confess to a mea culpa if tiie Schism in the long series of Popes does come, for it alone will have brought it all aboat. Already seve- ral of the most _emiment cardinals and bishops, late pillars of the dogma Of infallibility, begin to show figns of steering towards the rising sun, or the Italian government. They go in for conctiitation and transactions on thelr owo mdividual hook. Other tokens of awakened fear are given in the hasty figut of Jesuit stars—off for other scenes and more fertiic fields than those surrounding St. Peter's church. The cardinals, who are for peace and good wil] among men, even the men Of Italy, are turning out freely in the streets, without fear or stint, on the Pincto and other public promenades. Hitherto they have been fretting or under ban, cooped up in the Papal patace or in their own houses. I have seen several tus on parade of late, and it is quite amus- ing to watch their modest turnout, compared to the couch and red doings of other days. They meet with respect and sympathetic regards from the citizens, anxlons to encourage anything like & modus vivendt with the Holy See, or a union In two different bodies of the spiritual and temporal power in preierence to being compelled to fortify their City Into a strong- hoid and making other preparations to defend their tenure against French bayonets, a sight imfuston of which is still sighuy dreaded in the distance. The chiefs of the Courch were rather shy at first, but they soon founa out that they had nothing to fear. The mob has been ee agalnst the underlings and been made to insull monks and priests for the very reason (hat these princes of the Church would dave bothing whatever to do with new Italy unt now, when they seem to be peg sig their skins and com- ing out in new colors, neat but not gaudy, like those they displayed im the past, Of course, 8o far, those thus coming out are the few, the exceptions; otner- wise ghe game would ve up. Pius. 1X.’s Successor To Be Elected by Uni- versal Suffrage. ROME, Augast 15, 1871, Plus IX, has been an {inovator in so many re- sSpects during his protracted Pontificate that one ts not surprised at any report concerning intentions of @ totally novel character on his part, although the measure now stated to be under consideration at the Vatican 13 ofa nature Lo upset all the regula- tions consecrated by tradition and the practice of 80 many centuries in the election of Supreme Pon- lfls, It is affirmed that Pius IX., availing himself of the infallibility of nis decisions in such matters, has expressed a wish that his successor shall be elected by universal suffrage. He hopes by such @ radical reform, which would ve @ return to the earliest ages of the Church in Rome, to counteract the revolutionary principle which now tends to diminish the prestige and authority of tne Papacy. ‘The realization of the scheme would not be so dim- cult as a. at first appear. On the va- caucy of the Holy See being prociaimed @ register would be opened im every parish, and tne faithful would be ree to in- scribe their votes on it for the space of one month. The oMce of tbe conclave would be to examine the yoies and prociaim the result. Tie candidate would, of course, be authoritatively ladicted for the suffrage of the taithiul, who would only fave to sanction a previously prenared formula, all Catho- lics without distinction of age or sex having a right to vote, and illiterate persons amxing their cross in lieu of their signature. Whether this pian will be reaily carried into effect or not time only will show, but it will be curious it 1m future the principle ot Papal elections Is founded on the moito of the Koman republicans of 1849, ‘Dio @ Popolo.”’ A recognition of the principle of universal suf. ‘was indicated by the recent “black p/ébiscite” me, when 27,000 signatures were collectet in favor of the Pope, and it has also been asserted that His Holiness intends to submit to a universal p/e- wiser the necessity of temporal sovereignty for the Simah Pontus, Mr. Seward and the Pope. A correspondent from Rome, writing to the Frankfurter Zeitung, which is well known as an extreme liberal organ, says:—‘‘Among the foreigners who arte now here is Mr, Seward, formerly Secretary of State in the United States of America under the Presidency of Lincoln, Jt was he who formerly re- called the Minister Rafus King from Rome because Plus IX, would not allow any American church in- side Rome. Mr. Seward 1s said, looking up to the windows of the Vatican, to have exclaimed, ‘Now this gentleman can no longer make such pronibi- tions against us.’ THE SHOE SHOP SLAUGHTER, Brooxtyn, Sept. 4, 1871.

Oollege ‘Warden of tho Long Island monpltal, Tho Russian Minister Not Recalled by His Government. His Conduct of the Perkins Claim Ap- Proved and Seeretary Fish’s Re- quest Peoh-poohed, Sr. Parerssvng, August 12, 1871. ‘The statements which’ appeared tn (he New York press, setting forth that M. Constantine Catacazy, the Russian Minister to Washington, had been re- calied im consequence of a request made by Mr. Hamilton Fish, the head of your State Department, or Bureau of Foreign Affairs, have occasionea a good deal of comment in this city. Some of our Russian papers have copied the despatches in the American journals and made editorial comments, deploring the misunderstanding, while defending thelr own countryman in strong terms. A leading Moscow paper has, had one very strong article in favor of M, Catacagy, whom it regards as an up- right, honorable and accomplished representative of the Russian government—a man incapable, it says, of the meanness anil low arts and tricks attrib- uted to him in his negotiations with M. Fish about the now famous Perkins claim. CATAOAZY NOT RECALLED. Thave made it my business to inquire at the pro- per sources of information in regard to the Fish- Catacazy unpleasantness, and 1 can assure you of one thing—to wit, that the Russian Minister has not been recalied, all statements to the contrary not- withstanding. There is no doubt that M. Fish and M. Catacazy have had a very unpleasant interview. ‘There ts just as little doubt that M. Fish did ask for Catacazy’s recall on personal grounds, But the @oting Secretary of Foreign Affairs, M. Westmunn, who ofMiciates during the absence of Prince Gort- Chakof, has refused, on mature deliberation, to gratify the personal wishes or the American Secre* tary. Inave very high authority for the statement that Bf, Westmunn has forwarded to M. Catacazy an oMicial approval of his conduct in the Perkins claim Negoulations, and expressed indignation at the “odious’ attacks made upon the Minister by Amert- can journals and oficiais. This approval is at the special request of the Czar, who examined the whole aflair critically. So much, therefore, for the story of Catacazy’s recall. CATACAZY WANTS TO GO HOME. Now Yam further informed that M. Fish advised ‘M. Catacasy, i a personal interview, that ne had requested the Russtam government to recall him, M. Catacazy, in reply, told M, Fish that he was de- lghted to hear it; that ic would please him very Much to be summoned back to his native land and to preferment, M. Catacazy, after this singular in- terview with M, Fian, telegraphed to his govern- ment that his resignation was at its disposal at any moment; that if his continuance in ofMce operated as the slightest impediment or obstruction in the way of a good understanding between America and Russia he hoped his feelings would not be con- sidered at all; that he was perfectly ready to be diplomatically decapitated by his sovereign master and transferred to new fields of labor. This result of the unpleasant affair is only known to some of the Intimates of the Minister here, and gives very great satisiaction. However, I believe M. Catacazy prefers himself to leave the United States now chat his relations with its diplomatic chief are so unpleasant. In deference to the wishes of the Ozar he will remain at his post until the termination of the visit of the Prince Alexis, when be will formally tender his resignation again, RELICS OF THE REVOLUTION.

Six months ago the Rockaway branch of the Long Island Ratiroad was commenced. Mr. O'Donohue, of Rockaway, remonstrated against having 1 ex- tended through his farm, vut while from home one day the contractors assembled thelr en- uu force and graded the route and laid the track. The route as now surveyed runs through several cot premises, to which the ocolpasts object.

The ‘‘Mutes” were more successful, for by GOOD AND SAFE BATTING, aided slightly by @ bad throw by Malone to gecond base, they managed to adorn’ thor score with mo less than four rans, Three of these were earned. The vistors Were again whitewashed in botn the second end the third innings, they being retired each time m one, two, three fashion, while'the Mutuals further aug- mented their score by the addition of two runs ip the second and one in the third iuning, Of the two obtained in the second inning nether was earned, they being alone ma le on most palpanie ercors on the part of Meyeriy. the Athletics’ tur! baseman, and Sensey, their c: mire fle'dor.

Report of ¢ Grand Jary of Westchester County—A Paucity of Gaards Over tho Jail Birds—Ne One to Blame ‘or the Recent Escapes—The Locality of the Prison an Ob- stacle to Security. The oMctal visit of the Grand Jury of Westchester county to Sing Sing Prison last Saturday, partica- lars of which appeared in the HERALD Of Sunday, has resuited in exactly such a superficial view of matters connected with the maaagemens of that institution as has already been fore- shadowed in these colamns, In the County Cours and Court of Sessions at White Plains yesterday tne following presentment was made, having first re- ceived the signatures of ali the members composing the grand inquest:— The grand jurors of the people of the State of New York, in and for the couaty of Westchester, do re- specttully present that, having thetr attention drawn to the condition of the State Prison at Sing sing, Westchester county, by the presiding Judge of this Court, at the present August term, did visit the prison on Saturday, September 2, to ascertain ita condition. The time to which the jury were neceasarity lim- ; ited was too short to permit them vo periorm the duty assigned them in a manner satisiactory to themselves or to the Court, We find that the med of the guards is to maintain @ constant aud careful watch over all the prison premises while the prisoners are unlocked, and to sec that none effect an escape therefrom. No evidence was adduced to show that this duty was neglected upon the 12th day of August, 1871, when twelve prisouers escaped upon the steam tug Dean Richmond. The examioation of the prison oMctais elicited no evidence in proof of any dereliction of auty oe the part of the guards upon the occasion referred to. The Grand Jury inspected the wharf where the es- cape occurred, and are of the opinion that the guard posts are too far apart along that wharf to afford protection against an attempt like ‘tne last one. e Le | was effected about midway be- tween two guard posts nearly six hundred feet apart, and under those circumstances the jury thought the guard could not especially ve blamed. It seemed to the Grand Jury a matter for cen- sure that several unemplo convicts from the hall and hospital were allowed to be’ loitering about the wharf uader the supervision or con- the testimony was found that 1,365 prisoners were confined within the prison; that there were forty guards, twenty of whom only are held responsibie at any one tume, and fifty-two keepers. It was the opinion of tne Grand Jury that the guards and keepers were en- tirely Inadequate tn number for the charge of tbe large number of prisoners, and that the prison wag overcrowded, there being in the male department only about one toousand cells for the continement of 1,246 convicts, The Grand Jury are of the opinion that the local. ity of the prison forms the chief obstacle to its se- curity, Its nearness to the city of New York, from whiten many of its worst inmates come, renders it more easy for such to be placed in communication ‘with their friends, and making the place more ac- cessible to such enterprises as the recent one. It is believed that the immense value of the State lands and butldings, situated, as they are, at ® place very advantageous for many purposes, ‘would purchase greater advantages and more secu- rity al some point further from etropolis, MURDER AND LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY. ‘The Glasgow (Ky.) Times gives a fall account of the foul Murder of Mra Luey Perkins, which occurred near Turner's store, in Metcalf county, on the 2lst of August. Since then, says the Times, developments have been made that prove It to have been one of the most fiendish and cold-blooded murders ever committed, and the perpetrator has met the fate due him at the hands of an outraged community. When found the body of Mrs. Perking was lying by the side of the road about a mile from her home, There were two cuts In her throat, the knife entering under her left ear in the first and coming out about an inch from the windpipe on the right sidé of the throat, severing the left jugular veia aud windpipe The other gash commenced at the same point as the fret aud rai down, cutting across the windpipe. ‘Where were no other marks of violence on her per- gon, except the print of four be ere ander the chin on the left side and one on Ui t side, pro- bably made by the murderer in drawing her head back in order to the fatal thrust. Land at once rested on Eh ‘kins, ‘distan at Perkins’ 0 the time Mrs. Perkins started to the a left in @ few minutes after she did. Revere hours! afierward ne came back and reported that be found Mrs. Perkins dead im the road. His actions were such that he was at once arrested. On tnvestigation tracks were found around the boay and leading from it to Nevill’s house that exactly corresponded to his foot, even to @ nail in the heel one of his shoes. It was noticed he had changed his clothes after Perkins’ the first time, and his house was therefure searched. A shirt was found, fres! washed, but with spots of a still upon it; bioo was also found: on his paotaioons, An examining trial was held on Wednesday, when the above facta were elicited and the prisoner held for trial at the next Circuit Court, He was sent to jail at Kamou- ton to await tri About five o'clock Saturday evening thirty citizens of the county, rode into Edmonton, two, disguised as women, wei to the jatlor iad demanded the keys of th ail, Having secured the keys tl party too ‘Nevill from jail, and, placing a rope around his neck, wok him to the place where the murder was com- mitted and hung him, None of tue men were dis- gulsed except the two in women's clothes, and all ‘were recognized by the citizens of the owo. The murder was bins Say ag] and fiendish, and Nevill ‘obably deserved to be hanged, yet it would have better to have let the law take its course and left big preatah @ent to the propor Wribaaal.
