Riviere’s Crimination of the Commander of Metz. VERSAILLES, Oct. 11, 1873, The session of the Bazaine court martial was ‘resumed at eleven o’clock tis morning. Several documents submitted by the prosecution were read, the most important of which was one showing that Bazaine was responsible for the delay in the ‘husbanding of the provisions in Metz by neglecting “to inform his officers of the situation, thus prevent- ing them from taking the necessary precaution to provide against scarcity. M. Riviere’s report was then taken up and its reading concluded, M. Riviere says :—“In relinquishing the chief com- mand of the army the Emperor gave his last order to Bazaine, which was to retreat to Chalons, Though this order was repeatedly insisted upon, Bazaine simed to escape the Emperor's control, He deceived the Emperor, and, in causing, as he did, by his false tniormation, an advance towards Montmedy, greatly shared the responsibility for the disaster at Sedan.” : Alluding to the negotiations between Regnier and Bazaine the report says:—‘‘Bazaine never ought to have listened to a stranger who was with- out credentials, It was his (Bazaine’s) duty to fight, or, if unable to do so, to harrass the enemy by repeated sorties, and thus obtain provisions, Bazaine’s army was the only hope of the nation. While it existed nothing could be lost. Bazaine ‘was anxious about the form of government, but the Empress, when granting a farewell audience to General Bourbaki, advised him to proceed to ‘fours and offer his sword in the cause of we nation, rejecting the convention, the first condition of which was the dismemberment of the territory -of the country.” Upon the conclusion of the reading of the report the Court was adjourned for the day, Several officers who were censured in M.

About a fortnight ago George Clark, who has for some time past been acting as cashier and ticket agent of the Union Paciflc Railroad Company, at No, 287 Broadway, ceased making his appearance at the office, AS Clark was a married man, fifty years of age and one not addicted to any vices or extravagances, his disappearance did not create much remark until an examination of his books re- vealed a deficit of a sum considerably exceeding $10,000, From inquiries made by @ HERALD ht it appears that the company vat 0 2 soner by the com| ot Geralcation of Clark, as his bondsmen are se- curity for more than the amount embezzled.

His Amicable Relations with Captain Hall. Why He Would Not Go Farther North im an Arctic Winter. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11,. 1873. The examination of Vaptain Buddington com- menced to-day on board the Tallapoosa at the Navy Yard. Secretary Ropeson was the principal ex- aminer, Cotamodore Reynolds and Captain How- gate assisting. The services of Professor Baird were not considered necessary until the examina- tion-of Dr. Bessel begins. Buddiogtor: was inter- rogated for five hours, particularly as to his relations with Captain Hall, he declaring that there was not the slightest foundation for any. report of difference between him and Captain Hall. His judgment about proceeding beyond the point reached, 82 deg. 16 min., was based entirely upon his experience as a navigator in Arctic waters, and not from any tear of danger or aversion to prose- cute the journey. While there might have been an appearance of an open channel, the weather in the | northern latitude was 80 uncertain that no man would dare risk a vessel i tne higher latitude with an Arctic winter approaching. In reply to an inquiry as to his personal conduct, Captain Buddingtoy said he had been accustomed to taking a dram. occasionally, but demed ever having drunk enough to incapacitate him for duty or to make him unfit for the position of navigator in dangerous waters, Tnese} aration of Tyson and his party, on October 15, was more seriously re- gretted by those on board the Polaris than could possibly have been by the ice floe party. So certain was he that the vessel would have to be aban- doned that he had made preparation fo.cast over everything of value and importance to the orta, when the wind suddenly changed and shifted the Polaris into aimost an opposite; position, snapping the hawsers and increasing the danger to the vessel. The- details of what happened after the separation have already beon substantially nar- rated: The examination of Buddiagton will be resumed on Monday, when the death of Captain Hall will be inquired into at length.

There has been very little change in the con- dition o! atfairs since last night, A very low cases were reported in the eity prover yesterday; the outskirts, however, did not exhibit much, if any, falling off. The disease has spread over such a Jarge Scope of country that 4t 1s very dificult to make an accurate report, as there is no organiza- tion for that purpose. Quite a oumber of cases in the outskirts are considered in a critical condition, while there ane very few, considering, in the city proper. Colonel D. B. Martin and Arthur Newman are doing well. Captain Maymakeure, local agent of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, will probably die. William Walker, merchant, on the other side of the river, is in a critical condition, The interments to-day were 6, of which 4 were colored, The interments for the week ending to- night were 72, agaist 77 for the week previous.

Memputs, Tenn., Oct. 11, 1873, There is no apparent abatement of yellow fever here. On the contrary, the number of new cases reported daily, gives evidence that it is on the in- crease. The doctors say that the recent frost had a@ beneficial effect that will soon develop, but as yet the mortuary lists are alarm- ing. The Relief Committees are daily in re- ceipt of liberal contribations from every part ol the country, and are busily engaged in properly dispensing aid to the afflicted and distressed. The demand for nurses is yet greater than the supply, and Mobile and New Orleans are being drawn upon and are supplying additional details. The disease is not con{ined to any particular locality, although the original seat of the plague, Happy Hollow, is carefully avoided and is being thoroughly ovqr- hanied and disinfected by the Board of Health, The Howard Citizen's Relief, the Odd Fellows, the Masons, the Germans and all other relief as- sociations are actively engaged in the work of ad- ministering to the sick and providing for the dis- tressed, the chief and most difficult part of their task being to provide temporary homes for the great number of helpless children made orphans by the terrible ravages of the fever. As yet all have been provided for to a limited extent; but as each day increases the number the means at hand are necessarily diminished, and what the result will be in another yeek is beyond present calcula- tion. . The Masons of Memphis are in financial distress on account of the heavy expenses they have in- curred during the epidemic. They have buried twenty of their number in the last two weeks, and have now on hand fiity-two cases. Their expenses are over $300aday. They have received remit- tances from a few other cities, but not suflicient to meet their necessities, Temit to A. J. Wheeler, Secretary of the Masonic Relief Board, who will use all funds received for the distressed belonging to the craft. ‘The Waltham Infirmary, under the management of the Howard Association, with Dr. Luke P. Blackburn in charge, is doing good work, but few fatal cases occurring in proportion to the number of patients received. Mrs, General W. J. Smith and Messrs, C. Canning Smith and James 8. Lawrence are among the new cases reported to-day. Large gangs of laborers were on the streets to-day, with brooms, scrapers, shovels and carts, and, as far as they progressed, the pavements look as clean as anew pin, but smell greatly of disinfection. The fever rages with unabated malignity, and no hopes are entertained of its early disappear- ance. Many citizens left yesterday and more will follow to-day. The total contributions received by the Howard Association to-day amount to $485. The daily expenses of the Association are $1,000, and this amount is being hourly increased by extended operations in behalf of the suffering people. There is great destitution among the poor, and all kinds of contributions prove most acceptable in this state of aifairs, Varivus benevolent associations of the city are actively engaged in relieving the sufferings of the sick, many of whom depend upon such charity for food and medical attendance. Colonel 0, Bannon, Inspector of the new Board of Health, is strenuously engaged in cleaning the streets and will commence disinfecting the city as soon as carbolic acid can be had abroad. To-day only ten gallons were to be had in the city and orders by telegraph has been sent to various cities to se- cure prompt assignment of this desired material.

HIS REASON FOR THE DEED. “He Ruined Myself and My Family.” WASHINGTON, Oct, 11, 1873. At twelve minutes past two o’clock this after- moon ex-Congressman M, F, Conway, of Kansas, attempted to kill ex-Senator Pomeroy, of the same State. Mr. Pomeroy was walking up New York avenue, and, when near the corner of Fourteenth street, the two met, Conway not being more than five feet from him, when he deliberately drew a large revolver, and, before Pomeroy was aware of the assailant’s purpose, received a bali in bis right breast. A second shot let daylight into “Oid Pom's” hat, and the third missed him as he fell. Conway, who 18 a man of forid complexion and red hair and beard, did not apparentiy betray the least excitement and walked across the street. Messrs. Addison and Huyck, real estate agents, in front of whose office the attack was maae, were stand- ing on the steps near Pomeroy, and the former immediately went after Conway and said :— “Here, sir, if you have cause for shooting that man you should not run away. Go back where you belong.” Conway handed him the revolver and turned back, when he was arrested. He said Pomeroy had ruined his family and he had nothing to live for but revenge. A SLIGHT WOUND, The wounded man was taken into Addison’s office and eminent medical aid summoned, The wound was probed, bleeding profusely all the time, the ball apparently penetrating the lungs. Drs. Bliss and King shortly after arrived, and at their suggestion Pomeroy was removed to his resi- dence in K street, where a further examination was made. It was then found that the ball was not embedded in the flesh and the wound was pro- | nounced not dangerous, THE ASSAILANT AND VICTIM. Pomeroy is about five feet ten inches in height, very large Irame, and weighs about 250 pounds. Conway 18 of thin, slender form, and quite effem- inate in his appearance. He has been about Washington for two years past, and was alliea to the Greeley movement in the last presidential campaign. Those who have conyersed with him of late state that he has betrayed unmistakable signs of lunacy. NO CAUSE FOR THE SHOOTING. Pomeroy says he cannot give any reason for the unprovoked assault. A few days ago Conway met Lodges and Masons can | him and said he was out of money. The ex-Senator, in his jolly way, replied “1 can sympathize with } you for | Know how myself what itis to be without | Money.’ He regarded Conway as a friend, and the sudden attack was the more inexplicaole, when Pomeroy reached home he. insisted on walk- ing up the steps, and inside the house ascended the main staircase supported by his physician. CIRCULATION OF FALSE REPORTS, The report soon obtained wide circulation that Senator Pomeroy had been assassinated. Hun- dreds assembied at the spot where the murder Was attempted. The locality is the intersection for three horse railroads, and-an excellent place to retail vews, Wuen three of Pomeroy’s strikers and deienders heiped their prostrate chief into acarriage it was a refutation of the old saying that when a man Is down lie has no friends, Conway submitted to incarceration without a murmur, regaling himself on lis old “bleeding Kansas” love. Strange to say, he walked telip- erately out of the Criminal Court room alter Judge McArthur had finished his charge | to the jury in the murder trial of Slatter, | and five minutes before the affair talked with a gentleman on political topics without evincing the slightest excitement. HIS AIM AT POMEROY was well directed, and had it not been for the thick clothing protecting Pomeroy’s chest tue shot would have been jatal, Couway was elected to Cougress from Kansas in 1859 and served during the Thirty- seventh Congress, acting as a member of the Com- mittee on Indian Affairs. He was an active par- ticipant in the surring affairs attending the settle- ment of Kansas, as a member of the first Legisla; ture, as Clef Justice of the Supreme Court, uuder the Topeka Convention, and as President of the Leavenworth Constitutional Convention in 1860. He was a printer in early life, and was prominent in originating the National Typographical Union, but alterward studied and practised law. He was born in Charleston about the year 1830, and had latterly spent most of his time in this city. About seven o’clock this evening Conway was Teleased upon giving $10,000 bail, Alexander Adamson becoming his surety to appear at the Police Court on Monday morning. This evening Mr. Pomeroy took his dinner at the usual hour, and complained but littie of his wound, Dr. Verdi gave a certificate that his wound was not at all dangerous before Conway’s bail was taken.
