BISMARCK’S RUSSIAN COUP, |THE INTERNATIONAL DOOMED Herald Special Report from Paris. “Germany Fooling Russia by the Versailles Treaty. German Astuteness Building Aerial Cas- tles for Gortchakoff. Russia Now Where France Was in 1866. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent at Paris :— Panis, Sept. 11, 1871. The following are the principal conditions of the treaty which was made between Russia and Prussia, through thoir representatives, at Versailles early in the present year. The facts contained in the document have, until to- day, been scrupulously withheld from the public, although the announce- ment of the completion of the ar- rangements between the two governments is several months old. It is now clearly shown that this treaty had for its object the prevention of any interference on the part of Russia in the war between France and Ger- many, and that since the conquest of the former country Bismarck’s policy has been but too clearly seen by the Czar, who now finds himself in the same position that Napoleon the Third was after the battle of Sadowa :— WHAT BISMARCK PROPOSED TO RUSSIA. The first stipulation of the treaty was that, should a crisis arrive and a war be declared involving the intervention of Austria (or if Austria should become a direct agent in pro- posing any measures which might produce a rupture in Europe), Russia, it was to be dis- tinctly understood, would participate in the war, her army acting in conjunction with the armies of Germany for conquest. HOODWINKING GORTOHAKOFF, In the body of the treaty Bismarck made a grand coup. By adroitly pretending to Prince Gortchakoff that it was absolutely necessary that Russia should furnish a number of ships-of-war—which were specified—armed, equipped and provisioned for the purpose of providing Prussia with the means of resisting an enemy at sea, and for the defence of their seaports, the Russian Premier ¢onsented to supply the ships-of-war, which were to be under the direction of the councils at Berlin and St, Petersburg. In addition it was also specified that Russia should supply a large, well-disciplined, trained army to take the field under general orders. AUSTRIA WAS TO BE OUT UP AND SHARED, These two Powers, supposing their com- bined strength should place them before the world as victors, were to make peace only on the following terms—viz., that Austria should renounce forever in favor of Germany the whole of the Bohemian territory, all Moravia, the province of Silesia and the duchy of Salz- burg. Austria was also to renounce in favor of Russia the entire provinces of Gallacia and Dalmatia. BUSSIAN TERRITORY AND THE SEAPORTS THE NEXT SLIOE FOR GERMANY. When the fortunes of war had decided in their favor, all the arrangements named fn the treaty completed, and all these changes should be an accomplished fact, the further stipula- tions of the document provided that Russia should then cede to Germany five of her prin- olpal seaport towns on the Baltio coast, with their harbors, fortresses and lines of defence. She was-also to cede to Germany a part of the province of Courland, of which Wilna would be the chief town. BISMAROK OVERRIDING THE TREATY OF PARIS, Prassia, in making these overtures to Rus- sla, has violated the Treaty of Paris, which it thereby regarded as null and void, by pledg- {og an armed participation in the conquests in the East, and agreeing to supply a force and the sinews of war equal to Russia, and tho subsequent partition of the conquered terri- tory. THE SCALES TAKEN FROM GORTOSHAKOFE'S EYES. Prince Gortschakoff, having waited until the war between France and Germany had ended, finds from the manuer in which the affairs have been managed recently between the the Courts of Berlin and Vienna, that Russia has been as completely fooled by the machina- tions of Bismarck in relation to this treaty and its conditions the same as France was, when, in 1866, under a similar secret treaty with Vrussia, Bismarck agreed to give Luxembourg and other territory to Napoleon on gondition that he abstained from aiding Austria on the Schleswig-Holstein question. HUNGARY. Francis Joseph of Ausiria Rebuking the Episco- pacy. most TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Pesta, Sept. 11, 1671.

Germany and Austria Want It Rooted Out. TELEGRAM TO THE WEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent at the German capital:— Bert, Sept. 11, 1871. The Ministers of Austria and Germany are now engaged at Salzburg endeavoring to ar- rive at some settled basis on which their re- spective governments shall be able to deal with the members of the International Society on German soil, Both courts regard its influence as being of the most unhealthy character, morally and politically; consider it as the great social evil of the age, and its principles contrary to the progressive tendencies of the civilized nations of the world, They intend to adopt measures on which they can both act in common for its suppression and final extirpation.

Tho military manouvres at Aldershot are pro- gressing, and the reports trom the camp speak favorably of their character and the results thus ‘ar obtained. General John G.

ANOTHER ROITEN BOILER. Terrific Explosion In a Newburyport (Mass.) Hat Factory—Six Men Killed d Mane gled and a N' er Fatally Wounded. NEWBURYPORT, Maas., Sept, 11, 1871. A most terrific boiler explosion, accompanied with fearful and melancholy results, occurred in Curtiss’ hat manufactory, in this city, about seven o'clock this morning. Tne boiler house was com: pletely shattered and the main building badly dam aged. THE LOSS OF LIFE, as usual in such cases, is trightful. Half a dozen dead bodies have already been taken from the ruins, and as there area number missing it 1s feared the casualties will be sull further increased. Those whose bodies nave been already recovered are as follows:— Charles Boyle, of Newburyport, thirty years old, and leaves a wife and two children. Nicholas Parceil, of Newburyport, years old. Reuben Mace, of Newburypor James L, Jackson, of Newburyport, years old. George Etheridge, of Lawrence, who leaves a wife and family. Albert L. Page, of Newburyport, twenty-two (geek old, who was to have been married to a young iady in the city on Wednesday. OTHER CASUALTIES, Charles Randall, was badly scalded, but it 1s not thought he is fatally injured. A son of Nathaniel Perkins is very badly scalded, and there is but little, if any, hope that he can live more than a short me. DAMAGR TO THE FACTORY. The west side of the factory, where the boiler house 1s located, is more than half destroyed, and the machinery is among the ruins. The loss to the hat company will probably exceed $5,000. ta porRes, ‘was a tubular one, byilt at the Atiantic Works, East Boston, and has been in use but fourteen months, It had a guarantee of 150 pounds pressure, and It has not been run at much above ninety poundson the average. The fireman says there were two gauges & water in the boiler a moment before the expio- sion. it burst nearly at one-third its length, separating whore the sheets of iron were riveted together as cleanly as though they had been cut with a coid chisel. ‘heroof of the building, followed by an im- mense mass of brick, was blown into the air some eighty feet, and one man, named Boyle, blown up, fell across the collar factory, landing upward of 160 Teet from the factory. The works had not started up at the time of tho explosion or the loss of life would bave been much greater. The fireman commenced firing up at six o'clock, and had just stepped into the engine room when the oxplosion took place. When he left the boller house there was @ pressure of but seventy pounds of steam on the boiler. ‘AN INVESTIGATION. Ajury has been summoned by Coroner EB. W. Rand, composed of Mr. G. W.

General of the Republicans Reserving Their Strength for Grant in 1872, PortLAND, Me., Sept. 11, 1871. Maine has again gone republican by a majority of from four to five thousand votes say the leading men of both patties to-night, and 1 must confess a careful examination of the returns thus far brought in warrants them in coming to such @ conclusion. ‘Towns wherein last year great gains were made for the democratic party nave to-day gone almost over whelmingly the other way, and similar inexplicable turnabouts are shown in some of the returns from the republican strongholds, The cities, more par- ticularly, have exhibited great change, Port- land shows this year about 150 aemocratic gain, and Bangor exhibits a democratic loss in much larger figures. Augusta, Belfast and Waldo- boro, which are counted upon as almost sure for big democratic majorities, have gone contrary to the preaictions of the knowing ones; and Lewiston even has gone back on its democratic record of 1870, ‘A gatn of twenty-four in each of the small towns,’’ said the democratic candidate for Governor, “would give us the State.” But it takes a great Many such to offset @ loss of one thousand or two in the faige cities} and such really appears to be the condition of affairs, Every half hour _a despatch 1s received at the democratic headquarters announcing an aggregate gain of 100 votes in a couple or so of back country hamlets; but these despatches do not come fast enough to wipe away the big figures placed on fle by their more populous and pretentious associates who boast the dignity of a Mayor and Board of al- dermen. Even the most sanguine of the demo- cracy, bitter as 13 the pill to take, have given up all hopes of victory. They are occupying themselves in the rocess of figuring down the majority against them, and assert that, notwithstanding the fect that they are stlilim the minority, they have made big gains during the past three years. This statement they attempt to substantiate by the following figures:— ‘The republican majority 1n Maine, say these statis- ticians, was, in 1868, 28,042; In 1869 but 16,046; in 1870 Dut 9,510, and in 1871 not exceeding 6,000 votes, ‘This tavle, if the deductions of Maine de mo- cratic) statisticians be correct, evidences @ gradual early republican los of nearly forty per cent up to he present time.

He bases his opinion upon a careful calculation of the probablitties in the case coupled with the returns already received, and afirms its correctness with great vigor.

Every school district and every doubtful town in the State has been carfully gone through with, and the opinions of every voter have been brought to the test. Probably there has never been 80 thorough @ canvass of the State as that which ended to-day. Its results, one week ago, caused the issue of the following letter from the ofice of the democratic candidate for Governor, cvples of which were placed in the hands of every democratic voter in the State:— PORTLAND, . 4, 1871, (Private and Personaiy eet © 1871 My Dear SiR——All with whom I have consulted fully agree that with the general apathy everywhere prevailing in the ne it ta thousand votes this fall, thousand democratic voters.

Use great caution that your movements need not be known tothe enemy. if wo get out our full vote we aro sare to win.” It will be seen, therefore, that no pains were spared by the disciples of democracy to obiain every vole poss!ble to win the fight. Kew public meoiings were held, or, a3 stated above, the work was conducted beneath the surface’ of gen- neral observation. ‘he campaign of last year was extremely exciting because of the great popularity of the democratic canaidate for Gov- ernor, General Charles P. Roberts, ana the question of the perpetuity of the proniuitory law, which be- came involved therein. It would ‘be scarcely fair, therefore, to attribute its issue to @ political | reaction on the part of the people of the State. It was a question of candidates, then, but this year it has been a con- fiict of principles. Governor Perham stood upon his past record as a republican and strong temper- ance man, while Mr. Kimbail enlarged upon his business qualifications and the necessity for eifect- in, @ reform in the manner oi treating the Jaboring classes of the State. Both candidates were presented squarely upon the merits of their re- spective parties.

Altogether the orchestra has proved a complete popular, but hot entirely an artistic suc- cess.

Muller sang the “No ever,’? of Mat+ tel, in a style such agit has never been heard here before. It must be @ good artist that can invest a threanBare melody with anything tn tne way of nov- elty, Judging strictly according to the rules of art we regard him as the best baritone at present on the American stage. Yet we have to find fault with nim too. Too constant use of the mezza voice gives the hearer au idea that his voice is not as full and sonorous as it really 1s, and if he will oniy “let himself out’ on future occasions, there 1s no fear of his complete success. We can safely chronicle the opening of the musical season as successful in the popular sense of tue word. WALLACK'S—THE PRINCESS OF TREBIZONDE.— Opéra bouge may well be said to have seen tts palm- teat days. The lower school of music, which it made the rage of the European capltala for the past few years, has proved, like the intoxication of French champagne, to be only @ passing exhilera- von, Like champagne, too, in large doses, it has proved nauseating.

It is Safe to say that had a knowledge of the French language been more widespread the grossness and éyutvoque of ita dia- logue would have sooner earned for it a public con- demnation. But its success depended on the sparkle of its music, meretricious as it may have been, coupled wiih the finished acting of the artists who embodied the morally loose creations of the librettist. Scarcely toicrabie, then, as was the opéra , What snail we say O! it parodied, we can- not say translated, into cumbrous English, & lan- guage wholly unfitted for the delicate spirit of 118 immoral Jinesse? In the “Princess of Trebvizonde,” as presented last night by the Lydia Thonipson troupe, this unfitness was painfully apparent The dialogue, which Was an attempt al piling 1 for American localization, bore (ne distinct trace of Cockuey handiwork. ‘The éguivogue of the French vecame gross indecency in the English, aud when one com- pares the acting with that of the French stage the contrast Is deplorable. Beyond this there ls another fact, which must make the piece of last nignt @ failure 18 the tact that even for opéra Louse a com. pany of trained singers 1s a prime necessity.

The public is tolerably familiar with the music of thts opera; but it res Matned for the Thompson troupe to thoroughly dis- gust the pubic with its matter, A travelling show- man, Cabriol (Harry Becket), nas an aged but muscular sister, Manola (Mr, Willie Edouin), a daugh- ter, Regina (Miss Lydia Thompson), and Zanetta (Miss Camille Dubois) who is the real future Princess, Priuce Raphael (Miss Zerbini) falls in love with Zanetta, whom, in spite of his father, Prince Casimir (Mr. Henry Montgomery), Tremotina Oy ae Heity Tracy) js in love with a nally marifes Kegla, The plot turns on Regina drawing the lucky number a lottery, Which leads the showman’s family into high life and @ consequent series of contretemps. It ig useless to review the acting individualiy. There are cancans and other indecencies of the French school which permit a display of legs enough to gratily the debauched taste of the young idiots, but tn the whole thing there is nothing to jusilly a single word ot merited praise. ALLEGED DIAMOND DISCOVERY. Curcado, Sept. 11, 1871.

Georgia journals are commenting freely on the fact that Governor Builock has been absent from the State over two months, As there is no Lieutenant Governor the duties of the office’ in his absence de volve upon the President of the Senate, ana nex= upon the Speaker of the House. It is contended by leading journals in that State that Governor Bul- lock's continued absence vitiates his title to the office occupied by him, and they recommend, in the absence of the President of the Senate, that Mrs R. L, McWhorten, Speaker of the House, be sworm in as Governor and await the action of the Legts lature on its reassembifpg in providing for am executive officer of the State. The last neard frome Governor Bullock was on the 9th inst., when he wag at San Francisco.
