Parts, Sept. 4, 1873. ‘The last instalment of the French war indemnity will be paid to Germany to-morrow. Financial Vitality and National Re- cuperation of France. By the payment of this last instalment of the War indemnity to Prossia the soil of France will be made free of foreign troops and Mnally liberated from the held of the Germans, The French nation was tested severely by the conquerers, but the people of France have Proved themselves worthy of their name and repu- tation, both in their suffering and in their moral triumph, The industria! effort which they will complete to-day has surprised Europe, particu- larly the people of Germany. The Berliner BUrzen Courier comments on the fact in the following language :— _ By the preliminary treaty of peace concluded at Versailles on February 26, 1871, France promised to pay tive milliards of francs in such manner that one milliard was to be paid in the course of 1871 and the remainder witiin three years after tne ratification of the treat 7 In proportion to the payments made the _ ige given was to be re- turned—i the territory was to be evacuated. Since that time the German troops have receded gradually. In the detinitive treaty of peace concluded at Frankfort, which was retarded by the negotiations at Brussels and py the Communist rebellion at Paris, several alterations were made in the time and manner of paying the war indem- nity, bat the first of May, 1874, remained the final day of inne) fixed, After the conclusion of the peace it was often said in Germany that pa that time Prussia would be ouiged o return to France and get the war indemnity by force of arms, a view which was even expressed in a Reichstag debate ; but all this bas changed. After the original alterations of tne treaty had again been changed several times, Germany was just betore the meet- ing of the Reichstag, surprised with a new treaty, the stipulations of which are now being executed, the time of occupation being shortened very m: terially. WHAT FRANCE HAS LOST AND GERMANY GAINED. A Paris journal writing on the subject of the aebt to Germany, as it stood in the middle,of 1872, said;— Five milliards, or $1,000,000,000, is not the whole Hability of France on account of the tate war. There are to be added to it—for the ransom of Paris, $40,000,000; ior interest due March 3, 1871, a further sum of $30,000,000, and for undisbursed tax revenues to December, 1871, a payment of $11,015,000, These items make a total of $1,081,015,000, to which must be added interest at 5 per cent. from March, 1872, to March, 1874, on the unpaid balance of $600,000,000, This runs the whole amount payable by France to $1,141,015,000—equal *to about half the national dept of the United States, The Germans have paid fe Franog the sum of $65,000,000 as purchase money of the railroads in the ceded provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. In addition to the indem- nity, France has been at the cost of $500,000,000 for her own wao expenses, including the damage done to Paris. The war expenses of Germany are reported officially gt $278,000,000, and her receipts from France, as figured out above, will be $1,141,015,000, Therefore, the German profit by the war, without including the value of Alsace and Lorraine, an- nexed by the conquerors, amounts-to $863,000,000. The game of invasion, therefore, for which Louis Napoleon staked so much in July, 1871, has yielded enormous stakes to the winner. Three-fourths of the French ne hd Uae will be distributed thus :- Nine-elevenths to Prussia, and only two-elevenths to Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Baden and South Hesse. WASHINGTON.

Efforts are being made to-day by the Chief of Police to discover the mutilators of the body of “Beau” Hickman, which soon after interment in Potter's Field was exhumed, the !egs disjointed at the hips, the head severed from the trunk and skinned, the viscera taken out and removed, with the exception of the heart, which was found in the basket near by, wrapped jn @ newspaper, A dis- secting ivory handled knife was found in the vicinity. From appearances it is thought the par- ties were frightened from their work before they had completed their plans. Some benevolent gen- tlemen had made arrangements to give the body a decent burial in the Congressional Cemetery, and on the undertaker’s going to Potter's Field to re- move it the sickening mutilation was first discov- ered, The remains, however, were collected, placed in a new coilin and interred at the cemetery.

Mr. Rankin will excuse onr reminding him that his portratture of Sir Charles in the first act 1s heavy and stolid, not to say stupid. It is without that nonchalant grace and refined ennui which a more delicate fancy and a keener percep- tion of the congruous would have enabled him to give it. The Kerry of Mr. Lamb is very creditable, lacking indeed that beautiful pathos which Mr, Boucicault insinuated into it by a thousand slignt yet powerful touches, but well considered and tn- telligently wrought.

In i8t2 the State Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., was established under a charter of the Legislature. Ever since the conduct of its officers has been such that its paper throughout the State has long been quoted as being as good as gold, There is not a bank in New Jersey which holds a higher rank for fair dealing and sta- bility than ‘the old State” of New Brunswick. Hence it can easily be understood how great an agitation was occasioned in financial circles across the Hudson yesterday when the rumor spread that the old institution had been LET IN FOR TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. and that, too, by its honored and trusted cashier, Mr, Greenleaf W. Appleton, The rumor reached Newark early in the day, but, while occasioning & great deal of talk in finarctal circles, caused no excitement, as it was well known that the bank had a surplus fund fally large enough to meet even so huge a discrepancy as the one reported. All sorts of stories floated around as to the character of the defalcation. One had it that Appleton had lately been keeping a stud of horses and a costly house on asalary of $3,000 or $4,000. Another was to the effect that the directors let him run the bank to suit himself, and he did, and his personal triends, too. In order to get at the true state of affairs a HERALD represen- tative visited New Brunswick last evening about six o'clock, and struck out at once for THR FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH, the old bank itself, which is located at the cor- ner of Albany ‘and Peace streets, Just as the HERALD man arrived some of the directors, who had been holding a consultation, were preparing to go away. The former made himself known to the acting cashier and expert, Mr. J. U, Undernill, and stated his desire te obtain the facts about the alleged defaication, and not be obliged to accept hearsay. Mr. Underhill looked very mysterious at first, but finally, with- out giving started off to hold any reply. rivate conference with director Janeway as to whether he should open up or keep mum. Pre- sently he returned and opened up aiter a fashion, At first he seemed to be afraid to say more than a word or two, but subsequently put aside his reserve aud spoke out freely. Mr. Underhill stated that there had been going on AN INVESTIGATION of the bank's books even since last Saturday, when Cashier Appleton was suspended, and it was not possibie to say exactly how matters stood. The only charge against Appleton was that he had in an unaccountable manner allowed @ customer, Mr. Woodworth, President of the New Brunswick Carpet Company, to OVERDRAW HIS ACCOUNT $200,000, So far there was no evidence to show that Apple- ton himself had wrongfully appropriated a dollar. He and Woodworth lived near each other, and so were very intimate, Appleton kept one horse, and that was the extent of the “stud? rumor gave him. The amount overdrawn, Mr. Underhill said, was covered by real estate se- curities of Woodworth, so that it was not possible that the bank could lose a dollar by the operation. Besides, its directors represented many millions of dollars. Incase a run should be made on the bank to-day arrangements had been made to pro- vide for it. The capital stock is $250,000 and the arpa about the same. Appleton entered the bank as bookkeeper five years ago. and two years ago last April was made cashier, and gave such thorough satisfaction that soon he ran the bank entirely to suit himself, without let or hindrance of the other otficers, It appears that while he lived well and comfortably, that he was not extravagant nor ostentatious. He declares that beyond the over- draw Pibadon | will be found correct, and that that also will be satisiactorily explained, He is thirty years of age, or so, and has a wife and = one child. He hi Many warm friends in the town. The story that the investigation was siarted while he was off on a... vacation is pure fancy, a8 he has.been away no- where fet this year. The officers of the bank are John R. Ford, President; Henry Richmond, Vice President; Directors, Heury J. Janeway, Abraham and Ira CU. Voorhees, John V. Bergen, Gustavus Anten, John Clark, Garret Conover, Clifford Mor- ragh, Christopher Myer, James Bishop and J. H. Hutchings. President Ford and Messrs, Myers and Bishop are now in Europe. A DISGUSTING HOMICIDE. Killing A Man in Return For Having One’s Nose Bit Off—What Is the Re- ward of Peacemaking—The Result of a Barroom Fight. On the 2d of this month a man, suffering from what appeared to be a fracture of the skull, was removed from on board of the sloop Wakefield, lying at one of the Brooklyn docks, and the aathorities were at once led to believe that he had been beaten by some one, and set detectives to work to ferret out the truth of the affair. The man was uncon- scious and could give no account of the aftair what- ever; but Captain Fox, of the Wakefield, who was taken into custody, stated that the man was a sailor on board of his sloop, and had been beaten in a saloon at the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Eleventh avenue by a man he did not know. De- tective Powers, of the Brooklyn force, at once came to New York and made an effort to fund his man, bat he got ssa ON THE WRONG TRACK, and Detective McConnell, of the Twentieth policé precitict, got on the fight one, ana yesterday after- noon Sergeant Westerveit, of the same precinct, arrested John Downey, of No. 497 Tenth avenue. Last night a HERALD reporter called at the station house and had an interview with the prisoner, who made the following statement :— THE PRISONER'S STORY. On the night of the 12th of last August I stopped in the lager beer saloon on the corner of Thirty- ninth street and Eieventh avenue, kept by a man named Blitzer, for the purpose of getting a cigar, and when J entered the place I saw two men fight- ing and I interiered to separate them, when they both turned on me, and while one of them held me the other beat me. The proprietor of the piace finally got the‘man who heid me away, when the other continued the fight until we reached the street, when he tripped me up and [ fell into the gutter. He fell on top of me, caught my nose in his teeth and bit the end of it of, Some people who were stand- ing rear there took him ome, I immediately got up, and, SEIZING A STONE, threw it at him, but did not know at the time whether I had hit him or not, as | was blinded by the blood irom my wound, | heard aiterwards that the man | hit was named John Johnson, and that the man who held me was Captain Fox, of the sloop Waketleld, and that they had boto been taken on board of their vessel after Johnson was hit. I did not intend to kill the man, and acted ONLY @N SELF-DEFENCE. Idid not know until a few days ago that the man was badly hurt, and Fox came to me some little time atter the fight and said he was sorry I had been so badly used, but said nothing about John- son's injuries, Tdid not try to keep out of the way of the officers, as I did not know they wanted me, till a short time before I was arrested. A man by the name of Mooney told me there was @ warrant out for me. DENNEY IS A YOUNG MAN of very respectable appearance and does not look at all vicious; he is avout twenty-live years of age, and but for the frighttul appearance of his nose, would be rather good-looking. He seemed to feel deeply his situation, when told that Johnson was dead, but asserted that he did not intend to kill him, The Brooklyn authorities sent over for the prisoner last night, but the Captuin refused to give him up, and, as the matter stands, it is duabt- ful whether the Coroner's inquest will be held in New York or Brookiyn. Denney could not be in- dicted and tried in another county, and it is a tech- nical point of law whether the inquest can be held in a county in which the man did not die, In brooklyn the {oliowing story is told regarding the dead man :— On Wednesday afternoon a patrolman of the Third precinct went to police Captain Ferry and stated there was a man Very sick on board the sloop Wakefield. The Captain sent the omcer forthwith to the office of the Board of Health tor the purpoey of having the sanitary authorities cause the removal of the sick man to some hospital, The health officials seemed to treat the report with rather an air “f in- difference, and told the Poltoeman to go to the Commissioners of Charities, and the latter Bureau would attend to the case. The Com- missioners of Charities declined to do so and directed the oMcer to return again to the Health authorities. The Sanitary Supermtendent, Dr. Segur, grew indignant, and told the oMicer that if the Captain did not do his duty he would report him. sergeant Rogers, of the Central office squad, then ordered the removal of tne man to the ‘Long Island College Hospital. He was UNCONSCIOUS WHEN TAKEN there, and was, therefore, unable to make any statement concerning himsell, his skull being trac- tured and other injuries being apparent about nis body, which indicated that he had been subjected to SHOCKING VIOLENCE, This led to inquiries vs to how he came by his in- juries ; and the first statement which John Pox, tue captain of the “Wakefield,” made, was that this men, whose name was John Johnson, and wno be- wate, on the sloop, came on board on Tuesday night last, . OVERED WITH CUTS AND BRUISES AND BLEEDING, and said that he had been beaten by rowadies at the corner of Kieventn avenue and Thirty-ninth strect, New York. and tua be pad pgen struck ap the head with & bottle by one of his assaflants. Shortly after coming on dowrd he became unconscious, and Captain Fox further stated to OfMicer Brophy, of the Third precinct, tat he lived in Jersey City.

A Sailor Butchered by His Wi'e and Ansther ‘Woman—Terrible Scenes in: Monroe Street— The Victim’s Throat Cut—Arrest of the Murderers—What They Say in Ex- planation—The Sailor Dying. PHILADETPHIA, Sept. 4, 1873. In one of the dreary quarters of the town, in a ward crowfed with rookeries and tumbling cabins, in a street filled with drinking honses and dens of Prostitution, an affair just took place, which was, indeed, horrible in its.detail, and which is sure to end in undeserved and unforeseen death. To-night at eight o'clock, a telegram was received at the Central Headquarters of the Police that a woman re- siding in the neighborhood of Monroe street bad cut her husband's throat, and immediately. upon its receipt Captain Heins set out for the neighborhood, and there found tte scene of one of the most cruel and inhuman incidents upon the annals of Phila- delphia crime. Entering a poorly and beggarly furnished house, at the rear of No, 332 Monroe street, he found the furniture of the roomm the wildest confusion, and almost every household article STAINED WITH HUMAN BLOOD. The carpet, wainscoting and stairways leading up were dyed with blood; the pillow upon the floor was gory, and even the food upon the table was not free from the stain and the gore. A pitcher was found upon the floor filled with a liquid of some unknown composition. Its broken handle laid beside it, and both the pitcher and the handle were algo stained with blood. It was evident that a fearful strug- gle haa taken place upon the spot, and that between these walls one or more human souls had met the fate which even in our age of progress and civilization too frequently carry the unwary to their graves. What took place in this misera- ble house, the cause of that confusion, and the ex- planation of the stains upon the stairs, upon the floor and upon the pavement outside have been at this late hour ascertained, and upon the authority of Captain Heins I send the following account THE STORY OF THE CRIME. This evening, between the hours of six and seven, a colored family residing next door to the house in which this cruel scene was enacted, heard the cry of despair, and the next moment there came running towards them a man from whose face and head the blood was running in streams. Through the biood which covéred his head and bosom they recognized the countenance of a man named Montgomery, who, earnestly entreating them for protection, dashed madiy by them into the house, in hot pursuit two women followed him, dashed through the open doorway and finally gained the spot where the wounded man was try- ing to hide himself. One of the women was his wife, the other was @certain notorious Bella Big- ley, alias Bella French. Seeing the man, the wile made a furious pass for him, caught him by the hair and began an assault, when the officer, attracted py the’ furor, ran down upon the scene, arrested the two women and carried them to the Second dis- trict station house. When Montgomery was picked up he seemed to be in A DANGEROUS AND ALMOST INANIMATE CONDITION, witn a deep gash across his throat upon the lettside, &@ cut above his left temple extending far down over bis forehead, and two ugly wounds upon the top of the head, Kind hands bore him to the station house, and the physician says that he may live until morning, though the wounds, it 1s feared, will prove fatal. Japtain Heins at once repaired to the station house, in which the man’s wile and her associate had been confined a little while before. Calling Mrs. Montgomery aside, the Captain insisted upon @ statement, She: met his ie en with a lying statement, the main points of which are as fol- lows :— THE WIFE'S STATEMENT. She said that she had found her husband lyin, wounded in tne yard, where he had been knocke¢ down by a man named Kenny, when in reality this very Mr. Kenny was the gentleman who informed the officers of the terrible affray and hurried them on to her arrest. She denied that she knew any- thing farther about it, but did not explain why she was assaulting her husband at the very moment the oMcers carried her away. The other woman said she was in the house, but peerage denied that she had seen anything at all out of the way. Captain Heins says that the statement of the wite of the tie | man abounded in gross contradic- tions and that no reliance can be placed in any- thing she told him, A TERRIBLE WEAPON. It is supposed that the wounds were made with a carving knife, though at this late hour nothing definite can be ascertained. Mr. Montgomery was a sailor by occupation, a sober and industrious man, who did his duty to his drunken and dissolute wife, and who, according to the account of witnesses, simply defended him- self, while the wife was furiously assaulting him aiter he haa escaped, blinded and staggering under Ue WOU Bors scones wen TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT, = Two Men Fall from the Mast of a Vessel Seventy Feet. One Killed and the Other Injured. POUGHKFEPSIE, August 4, 1873, A frightful accident occurred at George T. Polk's ship yard in this city this afternoon. The sloop Hannah Ann, of Glascoe, Ulster County, lies on the ways, at*the above dock, undergoing re- pairs. At half past two, this afternoon, her captain, William B. Whittaker, and one of the hands, George Mickle, were sitting on a wooden triangle which encompassed the mast near the masthead, scraping the mast, This tri- angle is held up by ropes run through it; each rope having @ knot on the end. Suddenly one of the knots slipped through the well-worn hole and the triangle gave way, When both men fell to the deck below, a distance of seventy feet. Captain ittaker struck on his *head on the gat, when his body bounded to the deck. His neck was broken and he died almost instantly. George Mickle in his descent managed to seize hold of the halyards, and though his hands were fearfully burned as he slid downward like lightning, he managed to strike the deck feet foremost, break- ing both bones of his right ankie and seriously in- juring his thigh. As quickly as possible men rushed to pick them up, but Captain Whittaker never spoke. His body was laid in the cabin of his vessel, and Coroner Hicks and Dr. Holbrook were sent for. Both responded promptly, and everything possible was done to alleviate Mickle’s sufferings. He was Jaid on the deck of the vessel id Willing hands ably assisted the physician. Coroner Hicks held an inquest upon Captain Whittaker’s remains, the facts noted above being brought out in the evidence, and a verdict was rendered accordingly. Captain Whit- taker was & resident of Glascoe, Ulster County, where he leaves a family. ‘They were notified of the occurrence by telegraph, George Mickie is also a resident of Glascoe, He will probably re- cover, though he is terribly Injured. THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA AT TO- RON TORONTO, Ont., Sept. 4, 1873. The International Regatta to-day was even less suecessfal than yesterday. The press of the city with one accord pronounce the regatta a fizzle. Owing to the roughness of the water and the wet- ness of the day, fo rowing races came off. Three yacht races were contested. The centre- board act race and the standing keel yacht race were hoth declared off, owing to the buoy at the west- ern limits being again missing. The second class yacht race for the Governor Generai’s medal, worth $30, with Jour lesser prizes, was con- tended for by six yachts. ‘The Gypsy, of Hamilton, won the race; Mazeppa, of Cape Vincent, was sec- ond, and Water Kelpie was third, There was a heavy sea and several yachts were dismantied.

A representative of the HERALD called yesterday at the Cuban Agency, in the house of General Manucl Quesada, No. 33 East Thirty-third street, and ascertained that a mass of very important official despatches had been received from the Cuban camp via Kingston, Jamaica, by. the steamer Atlas, from that port, which arrived here on last Wednesday. General Garrido Paez, of Venezuela, who has been serving the Cuban cause for the last twoor three years, had arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, in an Open boat from the Cuban camp direct. Mr. Peiia, & representative in the Cuban Congress, also ac- companied General Garrido. This officer is entrusted with a mission from Cespedes to Venezuela. Pefia, who is @ native of St. Domingo, has leave of absence because of il health. In the boat were five persons of a crew, whose names have not come to hand. Garrido and his companions embarked near Man- Zanillo on the 19th of August, and after a passage of tifirty-two hours made a landing near Falmouth, Jamaica. They report a recent engagement, in which the loss was heavy on both sides; but it re- sulted in thg insurgents capturing @ quantity of arms and ammunition. General Maximo Gomez had suececded General Ignacio Agramonte as Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban forces in Camaguay. The Cuban cavalry alone in that district is over 500 well mounted men. Aschooner had arrived at Falmouth, Jamaica, ‘with forty-one Cuban refugees on board. Of these only eight were males. They intend to engage in agricultural pursuits in Jamaica, They report Man- zanillo, the point of their departure, as being in a most depiorable condition, and that on the day be- fore their leaving a collision had taken place there between the Spaniards and the Cuban residents, with what results they were unable to state. The Cuban Agency have recelved letters and omMctal despatches of recent dates from their De- partments of War and of State, giving brief sum- maries of important events that had transpired since the landing of Brigadier Rafael Quesada’s expedition some weeks back. The Secretary of War, Dr. Bravo y Santies, sends lengthy and im- portant communications that are now in course of translation, So also do General Calixto Garcia Iniguez, Brigadiers Francisco J. Cespedes (brother to the President) and Felix Figueredo, the medical director of the lorces of Calixto Garcia, Ali the foregoing documents show that recently. very heavy fighting has been going on in Cuba, and that the advantage has generally been on tue side of the patriots, ‘The last communication from Secretary Bravo y Santies is under date of July 24. at the Secre- tary acknowledges the recefpt of the war material fun in by the Virginius on tne 9th of that month, but laments the loss of a printing press, which, because of the sudden appearance of a Spanish war steamer, the Virginius was unable to disem- bark, 2 General Barreto, of Venezuela, who went to Cuba on the iast Virginius expedit: writes under date of July 22. He says that after a short the coast he went to the residence of the Executive, and expresses himself as well pleased with the manner of his reception, and gratified in finding 80 much subordination and order. He says that Since joining the Hxecutive the Spaniards had made no demonstration against the Cuban camp. Francisco Pered, a Venezuelan officer, who went to Cuba on the Virginius, writes in a strain equally gratifying as General Barreto. General Manuel Quesada now wishes it to be pub- licly known that in conjunction with Mr, Carlos del Castillo he has accepted the Cuban Agency in New York, and that these gentlemen will be giad to re- cejve theraid or advice, in the discharge of their duties, of all sincere lovers of the republican form of government, whether they be Americans or “Cubans. Asquib published the other day in a Washing- ton paper, ordering certain Cuban military ofMicers back to their posts in the island, under forfeiture of their respective grades, is pronounced by the Agency as a fabrication, President Cespedes did, some time ago, give full powers to the Agency to command the return to the island of all army oficers belonging to the Cuban service who might be now sojourning without leave in the United States; but the order has thus far not been put in force by the-Cuban representatives in New York. Dr. Boza and Brigadier Varoila have been sent to New Orleans by the Cuban Agency, with ample powers to raise funds there from among their sountrymen and the sympathizers with their cause, The HERALD representative had a peep at the detailed instructions which these comimission- ers take with them, Notning seems wanting for them to successfully fuifll the object of their mission, The Agency have within the last couple of weeks sent @ commissioner “to Peru, in the per- son ofanable and influential Cuban gentleman, Mr. Echevarria, for the purpose of negotiating a loan m that Republic, rigadier Ra Quesada has gone to Mexico for the purpose of trying to equip an expedition there. General Garrido now goes to Venezuela. So that, all things considered, the Cubans entertain high hopes of bringing about a combined action in their favor on the part of the South American Republics. This, they believe, and the good news now being received from their armed forces in campaign, will bring about the recognition of their rights as belligerents by the United States, an event which they claim would establish Cuban independence in six months after its happening. BROOKLYN WITHOUT OFFICIALS. + It appears, now that the important point has been raised, that City Judge McCue, who is one of the directors of the Brooklyn Trust Company, and Alderman Ropes, President of said company, are not legally entitled to officiate in tne dual positions of city oMcers and directors of financial institu- tions. It is also contended that the Corporation Counsel, W. C De witt, Mayor Powell, Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Cullen and other officials are seriously adected by the sollowing section of the Brookiyn charter :— Section 9, title 19, of the supptementary provision of the Brooklyn charter, reads as follows —"'No moneys belong ing to the city shall be deposited in any Institution in which any receiving or disbursing officer of the city shail be eitner officer, director or trustec. city officer au. thorized to receive or disburse moneys of the city shall be an officer, director or trustee of ony moneyed institu. tion in which any part of the clty funds may or shall be deposited: and in case any @ity officer shall be- come an officer, director or trustee of such institution his office shall immediately be deemed vacant, and the Mayor shall nominate, and with consent of the Board of Alderinen, appoint a suitable person to fll such yacaney.
