MARSHAL BAZAINE. ‘Progress of the Court Martial—Trial of the French Commander—Pertinent Questions by the President—The Message to Eugenie and After Sedan—“There Was No Gov- ernment; There Was Nothing.” “TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK sERALD, Panis, Oct. 17, 1873. The trial of Marshal Bazaine was resumed at moon to-day. The President of the Court, the Duke d’Aumale, ‘continued his interrogation of the accused. He asked why only two despatches, one on the 15th “of September and the other on the 2ist of October, ‘were sent by the Marshal to the Government of National Detense. Bazaine replied that he had received none of that ‘government’s communications, In answer to other questions he stated that in Sending General Bou: bak: to the Empress he sent ‘him to the one who, in his view, was the only representative of the government. He had received no official information of the general elections. The President said the Marshal’s intention of ‘Teaching Thionville did not agree with his theory that after the surrender of Sedan a sortie trom Metz was impossible, and be put the question whether or not the Marshal had agreed with the Prussians to cease offensive movements from the »time of Bourbaki’s departure, Bazaine replied by pointing to the subsequent ‘engagements in September and October. The PRESIDENT—\\ hy was there no serious en- agement for the purpose of supporting the ne- gotians of the Government o! National Defence? BazaiNE—Our sick and wounded prevented. sSuch @ course would have used up the army, while ‘the enemy were all tne time being reinforced. His Offer on the 29th of September to General Stiehle ‘to capitulate was aruse. In regard to the conven- tion which he subsequently concluded with the Germans he said:—‘My position was unprece- ‘dented, I was, in a certain sense, my own government. The duties of a military chief, when a legal government exists, &re strictly defined. I by no means admit that te \be the case in presence of an insurrectionary gov- yeroment. There was then no government, there Was nothing, The PReESIDENT—What! France, then, no longer ‘existed? (Sensation.) Bazarye, in explanation of a previous answer, Paid, in using the words “to obtain neutrality for ‘the army’ he meant to obtain an armistice for the (purpose of establishing a regular government. He protested against an assertion made by the President of the Court that his (Bazaine’s) phrase. “the army would maintain order inside the city,” ‘was an allusion to civil war. He declared that his {proposals were misunderstood. He never at any ime treated Regnier’s mission seriously. The PRESIDENT—All the steps taken at this ‘period—overtures to and communications with the Germans—were most serious, When thinking of the admirable army which you might have led to the last extremity, I hope you weighed well all }the results of the proposed convention. Bazatne reiterated that his motives were mis- ‘understood and his proposals mistnterpreted. The sitting was here temporarily suspended yamid the utmost excitement. | On the resumption of proceedings the prisoner, ‘being further interrogated, stated that the com- ‘mandants of corps were aware of the Regnier affair, although it was not mentioned in the coun- jcil of war held on the 10th of October. He consid- ered, however, that secrecy in his negotiations ‘with the Germans was his daty. | The PrRESIDENT—1 am compelled to ask you ‘whether all your acts and thoughts were for your country and the army? ' BazainE—They were. I always acted honestly according to the dictates of my conscience, , Being asked the object of General Boyer's journey to England, about the 19th of October, the accused said he hoped the Empress would obtain the conclusion of a convention, especially if she rcould be induced to come to Metz. The President reminded the accused of his mili- tary oath and asked him whether he observed the regulations forbidding capitulation in the open meld. ‘ Bazgaine pleaded as justification the existence of of an insurrectionary government, ‘™ The PRESIDENT—Does the imperial constitution, to which you considered it your duty to remain faithful, authorize negotiating and treating with ‘the enemy as you did? The Marshal replied that it did not. He maim- tained that tbe capitulation was compulsory. He had resisted to the last, ‘not having even a morsel of bread left.” At this point the sitting was adjourned. The court room was crowded, and there were requent scenes of excitement. The accused was embarrassed in manner, and ‘often hesitated in making his replies to the search- Ang interrogatories of the Court. SPAIN. Naval Bendezvous Off Gibraltar.

The Alleged Ring Frauds Discussed in Mass Meeting—The Committee of One Hundred Endorsed—The Action of the Grand Jury in the Matter. The charge has been forced on the people by ring organs and ring oral defenders in Newark, N. J., that the citizens’ movement is being used solely in the interests of a political party. Last nighta large mass meeting of citizens was held in Library Hall, which not only took particular pains to vindi- cate the Committee of One Hundred trom this charge, but to heartily endorse its work and promise it earnest support. Mr. Andrew Albright ‘Was chosen to preside. ~ The object of the meeting was stated, and Secre- tary Hassell read @ report showing that city omicials had been proven guilty of wrongdoing. Their names were received with hisses, Speeches were made by Major George B. Halsted and others, and the following resolution was passed by the meeting :— Resolved, That titled to the heai We elton ot ai abcd cams Wie bave Oe operation Of themelves and their city at heart, wil te THE GRAND JURY has submitted a presentment in Coart setting forth that certain irregularities in the management of the city of Newark by its oMiciais have been brought to their attention.

There is considerable doubt as to the balance of the State ticket, but the chairman of the Demo- cratic Committee is of the opinion that the demo- Crats have aiso elected the tate ticket, witn the éxception of White jor Supreme Judge and Wil- gon (or Comptroller, They also claim 16 on joint ballot in the General Assembly. ‘he republicans do pot give up as yet, and ciaim that nothing but Tull offClal return# can definitely decide the ques- tion as to wiio 1s elected.

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, The liberal republicans held primaries last night in the various Assembly districts throughout the city, and nominated delegates to a convention to nominate two judges of the Supreme Court, two judges of the Marine Court, a sheriff, county clerk, three coroners and one alderman in place of Peter Gilsey, deceased; also delegates in the Sixth Congressional district to nominate a cand- dute for Congress in piace of James Brooks, de- ceased; also delegates toa Senatonal conveation to nominate Senators in the several Senatorial districis; also delegates in Assembiy district con- ventions to nominate memvers of Assembly in the several Assembly districts. Everything passed off very quietly, WESTCHESTER DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The democracy of Westcnester county held their triennial Convention for the nomination of county oMecers at White Plains yesterday. As is nsually the case the “rough-and-tumble” element formed a conspicuous majority in the assemblage and di- rected its proceeding: The strife among the various factions, ‘strikers’? and nondescripts settled upon the Shrievalty, which was the en- grossing feature of the Convention, The notmina- tions made were as follows:—For Sheriff, John Bussing, of West Farms; County Clerk, J.

WESTERN STATE GRANGERS IN CONVENTION. KeEoKvg, Iowa, Oct. 17, 1873. Pursuant to a call issued by the Executive Com- mittee of the lowa State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, the Executive Cominittee of the State Granges of the Mississippi Valiey met im Conven- tion in this city yesterday aiternoon. A. J. Stew- art, of Missouri, was chosen president, and Thos, I, Smita, of Minnesota, secretary. Delegates Were present irom the States of Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana, Ilinois, Kansas, Mis- sissippi and Wisconsin. After the organization and appointment of committees the Convention adjourned till this morning. The subjects to be considered are “Cheap Transportation” and the “Improvement of the Mississippi River.’? NOVA SCOTIA. HALIFAX, Oct. 17, 1873, The Acadia Powder Mills at Waverly exploded this morning; one man was seriously injured, ‘Phe explosion is supposed to have been caused by an incendiary. The steamer Austrian, from Liverpool for Halifax, called at St. Johns, N. F., this morning. The brig- antine Wild Horse, for Pembroke, Me.; the Ameri- can schooner Lottie E, Cook, for Newburyport, Mass., and the American schooner We Are Here, from Grand Banks, via Cansa, where she was ashore, put in here for refuge during the gale of last night. The body of Captain Bondevoet, of the ill-fated brigantine Ellen, of Arichat, which was lost at Car- riboo Cove in the gale of August 24, was found on the shore near the scene of the wreck and was in- terred at Arichat on Monday. The schooner Gladiator, recently forcibly taken from the custody of the Admiralty Court of Yarmouth, has returned /rom a trip to Boston and has been redelivered to the Court. MORE INDIAN DIFFIOULTIES, Parsons, Kansas, Oct. 17, 1873. Much excitement exists in the Cherokee Nation owing to the arrest of Sut Beck by the Cherokee authorities for acting as one of the United States Marshal's posse in the notorious Goring Shake affray. It is believed to be their intention to murder Beck, in order to intimidate all others from responding to the call of the United States Marshal for the arrest of desperadoes in the Indian country. During the recent visit of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Fort Sill, Indian Territory, the Commissioner demanded of the Comanche Indians certain desperadoes of their tribe, then on a raid in Texas, The Indians informed the Com- missioner that these young men were in Texas, and if he wanted them he could go after them. Commissioner Smith told them if they would not deliver them up within thirty days he should treat them as enemies of the govern- ment and should withdraw all supplies aud cease intercourse with them. This firm course of the Commissioner nad such an effect that they imme- diately sent out a party after them and will deliver them up to the authorities at Fort Sill within the prescribed time. The people of Texas now seem satisfied that raiding in that State is practically at an end. A OONVENTION OF INDIAN EX-SLAVES, Parsons, Kan., Oct. 17, 1873, The colored residents of the Indian Territory, formerly slaves of the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles and Cherokees, have recently held a convention at Armstrong Academy, in the Choctaw nation, at which they adopted a me- morial to Congresss, asking for equal rights in the Territory with the Indians and to be secured and protected in such rights. They asked for the sectioning of lands and the or- anization of a Territorial government such as the Indians consented to in the Treaty of 1866 and ad- vocated by Colonel Boudinot. A delegauon was appointed to go to Washington to carry out the views of the Convention. The colored people claim to number 15,000 out of 60,000 producing population of the Indian Territory and to raise by their labor eight-tenths or the products of the Territory, DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BROOKLYN. Loss About $150,000. A fire in Kenyon & Newton’s planing mill, a four story brick structure, which extends from Union to President street, furnished the Brooklyn fire- men some active duty last night in combatting with the fames which enveloped it. The fire origi- nated in the room in which the shavings are stowed, and in a short time extended to other parts of the structure, A second alarm was given. ‘The firemen worked with energy. The mill, how- ever, Was soon destroyed, and the flames commu- nicated to some buildings adjoining, occupted by fifteen or twenty poor families, Several of these buildings were destroyed aud the inmates ren- dered homeless. Kenyon & Newton's loss on the building amounts to about $50,000, Their loss on stock and machinery is estimated at $40,000, About 150 men are thrown out of employment by the fre, The loss on the adjoining buildings is esumated At $50,000, Nos, 8zl and 323 Nevins street, owned and occupied by Charles Wachier as & grocery, were destroyed.

Unsatisfactory Ending of the Spanish- American Claims Commission. STRENGTH OF THE GRANGERS. Speculation Concerning the Financial (Condition of the Treasury. WasHinaTon, Oct. 17, 1873, Disgracetul State of Affairs in the Dis- trict—Schools Without Fucl and Teach- ers Without Pay. The greatest sina man can be guilty of in thé District of Columbia isto tell the truth; and so offensive has veracity become to the District omvlais that the cry of “treason” or “diar’ is in- stantly raced When any one attempts to speak of the condition or fairs as they rea!ly are. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Public Schools, held last evening, Mr. Stuart, a member, called at- tention to the necessity of making some ar- rangements by which the teachers and other employés could be paid ‘heir salaries; for, as matters now stood, he w of cases where employés had been driven their homes and were suffering for necessaries of life in consequence of this great °8- lect in not paying them, if not all, at least a part of their salaries. He considered it agreat outrage, and felt as though some immediate action shouid be taken by this body to secure for them their hard earnings and not remain idle while these people who entered the employ of the School Board in good faith were actually suffering. He then offered @ resolution to the effect that a committee of five be appointed to wait on the Governor and lay before him the condition of affairs, and ask or de- mand that something be done for their relief. On the presentation of thts resolution a member arose and said he was sorry that such a resolution had been offered, as ihe papers outside of the District, if they should get hold of the fact, would be sustained in the charges already made, He knew positively that the leading cor- respondents had instructions to obtain everything that related to the District government and forward it for publication, and this resolution would make a rich harvest for them, Hecould not see what object his colleague had in presenting the resolution, as he knew it would be the means of placing the Board in a very awkward position and in the end would do no good. Other members strongly opposed the resolution and some ex- pressed themselves as being of the opinion that there were enemies in camp at work. The pressure being so great on Trustee Stuart, he | reluctantly withdrew the resolution, and a request was made by the members of the Board to the re* porters present not to mention the resolution or debate, @ request that was wholly unnecessary. During the reading of the resolution great excite- ment prevailed, and at one time it looked as though personalities would be indulged in. Great suffering is felt among the teachers of the public schools who have not been paid for six months, Boarding-house keepers are clamoring for the board they owe, while the schools are unprovided With fuel. Itis useless to ask where the money has gone, but Congress will have an opportunity of finding out when District matters are again inves- tigated. The Spanish-American Claims mission organized to settle the claims of Americans, ex- clusively for spoliation of their property in Cuba, exists only in name, for the work of the Commis- sion ig blocked and virtually at an end. The evidence on which the claims alone can be settled must come from Americans resident in Cuba or now in the United States. The naturalized Cubans who have suffered losses are afraid to give evidence against the Spanish au- thorities, so that it is impossible to proceed. For the same reason the Cubans residing in New York and Philadelphia have also deciined to furnish the evidence they could about their relatives in Cuba, Asa prominent official remarked, “The power of the Spanish government even pervades the United States, and is fully as strong on our own soil as it is in Cuba, Cubans will not testify. They are afraid to support their own claims.” A few cases{have been prepared, but that is about all the Commis- sion will amount to. A Granger in Congress—Growing Strength of the Order. The election of Mr. Nesmith, of Oregon, to Con- gress puts a genuine granger in the house, whose wealth is in a farm and who makes his living as a uller of the soi, so that it will not be necessary to scatter hay seed around him. Being a democrat and a ready debater the friends of the grange movement expect he will make things lively for the republicans this winter. The order is still grow; ing. Alabama has 110 granges, Arkansas 65, Cali- Com- jJornia 84, Florida 13, Georgia 231, Illinois 662, Indiana 443, Iowa 9813, Kansas 586, Kentucky 17, Louisana 24, Maryland = 3, Massachusetts 6, Michigan $4, Minnesota 361, Mississippi 375, Missouri 900, Nebraska 328, New Hampshire 4, New Jersey 10, New York 10, North Carolina 105, Ohio 154, Oregon 35, Pennsylvania 27. South Carolina 162, Tennessee 166, Texas 24, Ver- mont 27, Virginia 4, West Virginia 18, Wisconsin 213, Colorado 2, Dakota 25, Wasnington 5, Canada 8—Total 7,104 granges. The Boston Grange has not responded to the demand of Master Adams in forwarding their charter to headquarters in Washington, nor does the Secretary know anything oMicially of it. The National Grange does not meet until February next, when the question will come before that body should the Boston Grange retain their charter, This will be the firet case of the kind yet presented to the Order. The Financial Condition of the Govern- me There is much speculation concerning the condi- tion of the Treasury in connection with the appro- priations to be made by Congress at its next ses- sion, some apprehension being expressed that the revenues, Owing to the recent panic and its con- tinued effects, will not be sufMcient for the support of the government for the present, to say nothing of the next fiscal year. The Treasury Department, however, has & more hopeful view of the situation. it is said in oficial circles that the importations have not been much less than heretofore at this season of the year; but the re- ceipts from duties have diminished by reason of goods not being taken out of bond, owing to the condition of the money market, The duties collected are larger in the aggregate than was an- ticipated under the circumstances, they being fifty per centum more than they were in the earlier days of the panic, and thus farin the present week twenty-five percent above last week. The receipts from customs this month are in excess of what is required to pay the interest on the public debt for that period. There has been some difficulty in collecting internal revenue, but lately there has been much improvement, and it is believed at the department that the aggregate receipts at the end of the year will scarcely be diminished at all from the estimates heretofore made. lt is authori- tatively sald that the government finances are in 4 good condition. The largest expenditures are al- ways made during the first quarter of the fiscal year, commencing July 1, and during the last three months the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $9,000,000, to Which amount the public debt was reduced within that period. Accordingly, more than the pro rata of the expenses of the snoceed- ing quarters of the present fiscal year has been paid. The prospect is, according to those best acquainted with the subject, that the aggregate receipts will be suficient to pay ali obligations of vue year, With regard to amprekended defcign- ilaue cles, no estimates from any of the departments concerning them have been furnished to the Treas- ury Department, and therefore no idea can be formed of their character and extent. There isno apprehension tiat Congress will impose additional taxes to supply supposed or actual deficiencies in | the receipts, but rather restrict the appropriations to economical limits and commence no new works that may not be actually needed, Civil Service Examinations for Depart- ment Clerkships. The Board of Examiners for the Treasury Depart- ment will bold a series of examinations, commenc- ing October 28, to fill vacancies in clerkships of class 1. These will be the Orst examimations heid in that Department under the new civil service rules of providing for examinations by districts, The country is divided into five civil service dis- tricts, in each of which examinations are to be held from time to time. A separate list of the candidates from each district 1§ made up in the order of excellence, and the bead of the Depart- ment may appoint any on¢ of the highest three on any list of candidates residing in one district bunt examined in another, are placed upon the list for the districe in which they reside, Accordingly the candimates examined in Washing- ton will be placed upon the lists for the districts in which they have tneir legal residences. It is understood to be the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury to make the appointments so far as practicable trom the districts having less than their proportion of clerks in the department. As Most of the candidates will doubtless be from the vicinity of the District of Coluinbia, which already has much more thau its proportion, only such va- cancies as must immediately be filled will be filled from the examination in Washington. The remainder will be left open until the district examinations avout to be held in New York, Cin- cinnati, St. Louis and Savannah are completed. The Treasury Department has sent out circulars to all those who have on file applications for $1,200 clercships, asking them to signify whether they Prefer to appear for examination at one of the Places above mentioned. Blockade of the Gold Coast. ‘The Department of State has received intelli. gence ot thé blockade by a competent British force of the Gold Coast of Airica, from Cape Coast Castle, in latitude 5 deg. 8 min. north, longitude 1 deg. 14 min. west, to the River Assinie, in latituae 5 deg. 8 min, north, longitude 3 deg. 23 min. west. It 1s said the blockade went into efect the Ist of last month, Red Crows to Caw at the Great Father. Nine Crow Indian chiefs, in charge of Indian Agent F, D, Pease, and accompanied by five squaws, arrived here to-day irom Montana, where they recently signed a treaty with Commis- sioner Brunot, relinquishing three large reser- vations for a smaller one in the same Territory. The Mississippi Levees, Congressman Morey, Chairman of the Commit- tee on Mississippi Levees, has just returned from Europe, where he closely examined the diiferent systems of confining rivers within their banks. He thinks the plan submitted in the report of Gen- erals Humphrey and Abbott, on which the Levees Committee bill is based, would produce more dura- ble results than the plans adopted in the valleys of the Rhone and the Po, Mr. Morey intends pressing his bill early in the next session of Congress. General Abbott and Colonel Casey, of the Engineer corps, assisted him in the levee investigation abroad. Ex-President Johnson’s Loss. Ex-President Johnson appeared before a notary public recently and made aMdavit to his claim for $73,000 against the First National Bank, Effects of the Moncey Stringency. Owing to the stringency in the money market many empioyers in Washington have been obliged to curtail their forces of workmen. THE REMNANTS OF THE MODOOS. SAN Francisco, Cal., Oct. 17, 1873. The remnant of the Modoc tribe reached Yreka to-day under the escort of Captain Has- brouck, with a company of artillery, en route for Wyoming Territory.

Henry Ward Beecher on Dr. Sherman’s qualifications and successful method of treating rupture, though toreible, never in truthfulness exceeded the fol: lowing remarks’ by the editor of the Day Book, who 1s an eminent physician :—"A Philanthropist.—Dr. sherman, the famous truss man, of 697 Broadway, it is claimed, has done more to relieve afflicted humanity in the past five years than any other member oi the great philanthrople tamily of the United States. To wear a truss which is not & remedial agent, but a daily torture, is one of the most terrible attction’ mankind could possibly be made to bear. Dr. Sherman years ago determined to rid rupture patients from that curse, and, afte! ries of costly and tedious experiments, hit the ¢xact application. Reader, it you suffer from this malady consult Dr. SHERMAN.” — Editor New York Day Book, October 4, 1873.
