Tn the active fighting a lull has set in, and mancuvring is now the order of the day, Bazatse is shut up around Metz, and the Prussians are already so strongly intrenched In every commanding position that it is im- possible for him to get out without risking a great battle under worse disadvantages than the Prussians had to contend with in the battle of Gravelotte. There is every rea- fon to believe that his communications are tut, and that he neither sends nor receives despatches from without, except by some chance courier who is able to steal his way through points which the Prussians do not deem important enough to guard. The operations of MACMAION are also cleared up so far that it is possible to gain a distinct notion of his purposes and his course of proceeding. According to the last des- patch of Mr. GartnLanper from Paris, tho Marshal brought back with him from Hague nau not only the remains of his defeated army, but also a body of troops previously stationed in the central and southera por- tions of Alsace. The numerous garrison of Belfort was also at the same time sent to Chilons, and thither the corps of forty thou- sand regulars assembled at Cherbourg for the purpose of the projected expedition to the Baltic was likewise transported. An miditional body of fifteen thousand regulars, partly from Paris and partly from the cities on the frontiers of Belgium, was concen- trated at the same place, All these troops together made up an effective force of one hundred thousand men. To this thirty-five thousand Mobile Guards were added; and these various elements were rapidly organ- ized into a compact army under the direction of Gen. Trocitu before he left Chilons to take command in Paris, At the head of this army MacManon marched from Chilons about Sunday or Monday Inst. A part of his troops, as our French correspondent yester- day informed us, was left at Reims with Emperor. This detachment, however, contd not have been very large ; for the only uses to which it could be applied would be to form a bodyguard for Naro.gon, and to serve a8 an outpost to give MacMaron warning of the possible approach of the Crown Prince of Prussia from the south, Having thus provided for the Emperor, MacManon himself moved off with the re- mainder of his troops in a northeasterly direction ; that is to say, on the road toward Montmedy and Thionville, Supposing that his army was as large as Mr. GAILLARDET': figures represent it—though we think these figures arc somewhat beyond the fact —his only purpose must be to break the Prussian lines and relieve Bazar other- wise his movement is utterly aimless, Will it be possible for him to gain this object? It is most doubtful. Long before he reaches the Prussian intrenchments that lie about Metz, they will have become so strong that any attempt to force them from within will be bootless ; and this condition of their lines will leave the of the two Prussian armies concentrated thero—the army of von Sremmntz, and that of Prince Frepenick Citantes—at libe to move out and deal with MacMaton in the ficld. It is very probable that the French may have calculated upon a novel state of weak ness in the German armies, on account of their great losses in last week's fighting but this leaves out of view the admirable arrangements by which, when in active service, these armics tre always reinforced and kept up to their full fighting str h.

Besides, the same French au thoritics also admit that for all they know the Prince may really be advancing upon Paris down the valley of the Aube. More- over, though there is no report of it, ho may very possibly have halted for a short time to await the approach of a new German army, estimated by German writers at one lrundred thousand strong, which began ten days ago to concentrate Letween Mulhouse and Besan- con, and which is to march upon Paris by of Dijon, Langres, and Troyes, Of the appronch of this army we have no other indications from the French Government than the proclamation putting the deport- mont of Céte d'Or in a state of siege, This fact, however, gives proof that the army of which we are speaking must already have made considerable progress on its march; and itis possible that Baron von Mo.rke has desired that it should get within rea sonable distance before beginning the deei- sive movement upon the French capital But, however this may be, whether the German advance is now sixty or a hundred miles distant from Paris, we shall have news enough of it within the next few days, The terrible drama speedily approaches its ca- tastrophe and its close. - a At Last. Spain is at last on her knees, and on her knees to the Cubans, An envoy, authorized by the Colonial Sceretary of the Spanish Government to treat with the Cuban repre- sentatives in this city, arrived here yesterday, This envoy, Sefior Niconas AscannaT’ distinguished lawyer of Havana, and o Cuban by birth, is a liberal, almost a radical in politics, an abolitionist in belicf and indi- vidual practice, a warm advocate at all times of liberal concessions to Cuba, but an up holder of Spanish territorial integrity. We can safely state that the basis of the propositions which Mr. Ascannate will make to the Cubans will be the automony of the island ; and we can ns safely assert that, if the Cubans here represent the wishes, feelings, and determination of their brothers suffering: and fighting on the battlefields of Cuba, there can be but one answer to such propo- sition—“ Too late!” Cubans will regret that a fellow country- man accepted such a mission. Time was when the proposition he bears might have been listened to by the patriots; but the barba rous war which the Spaniardshave waged on defenceless men, women, and children, their oft-repeated assertions that the whole creole race must be exterminated, the contemptible lie and subterfuges with which Spaniards have endeavored to asperse, libel, and deride Cubans and their cause, have long since bred a spirit in every Cuban heart which nothing but entire separation from Spain and every- thing Spanish ean ever lay. This too tardy action of Spain is however the only approach to wisdom which can be claimed for her since the outbreak of the Cuban revolution, But it is the death-bed ro- pentance of the criminal who hopes that confession may save his body, not his soul. Spain today has not as much authority in Cuba as NaroLzon would have in Paris. Frenchmen migit possibly rally to Naro- LEON. Spain could send no one man, nor any body of men to Cuba, who could en- force her decrees there, and she knows it. De Ropag, to whom on account of his reputa- tion for cold-blooded cruclty she fondly in- trusted the task of subduing the patriots and the voluntecrs—alike enemies in arms against Spain—finding it impossible to conquer the one, embraces the cause of the other, and openly declares he will execute no decree of Spain antagonistic to the interests of the voluntecrs. Spain, if wise, will at once reeall Mr. As- CARRATE from here, and all the troops who will obey her orders from Cuba. The pa- triots will soon dispose of the volunteers, PRR So See The International Workingmen’s Asso- ciation. Rarely, ifever, has a popular movement beginning with small resources attained so rapid a growth and go deep a hold upon the popular mind as the International Working- men’s Association, It was started in Eng- land in 1864, by members of the Trades Unions there, in connection with a few prom. inent thinkers, the foremost of whom was KAnL Manx, the author of many remarka- orks on political economy and politics, amental idea of the Association is thatas the sufferings of the working classes are the same in all nations, and caused to 4 great extent by international agencies, the remedy ought also to be international—an organization of the workers of all nations upon the same platform and with the same political and social aspirations, ‘This idea spread like a new gogpel to the continent of Europe, Four International Congresses of Workingmen have taken place, in Geneva in 1506, in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1867, in Brussels in 1868, and in Basel in 1469, each subsequent one representing a far of constituents, Tho Associa- tion is now firmly established in England and Scotland, Holland and Belgium, France, Gen and Switzerland, Spain and Italy, Hungary and c ‘The fifth of these In- ternational Labor Congresses was called to mot at Mayer Germany, on the 5th of September next; but it may have to be post- poned for a fev weeks on account of the war.

It is not a con- 8) y ; all is done above board, and with the utmost publicity, Nor is it a mere debating society, but it aimeat both practical and the oreticul ol jects, It isnot revolutionary in the | common meaning of the term; it strives to prope gate until they shall have become | the eonyletior and may be i {a majority in every nation, roduecd into practical life by 1 legislation, But never. vee8 to Teconstruct society on © basis of justice and equal It does not start from theories; it does not nl followers ; but it intro.

Some of the ideas discussed and adopted by a majority of the delegates may be startling toan Anglo-Saxon mind ; as for instance, that the soil of a nation ought not to be private property, but the common property of all, held, improved, and worked for the common Denefit of all ; and that the same rule should apply to mines, railroads, telegraphs, and forests, and to great manufacturing estab T'shments ; in a word, to all property eapnble of being monopolized for the benefit of the few. But then, they do not propose an im- mediate, Lut a gradual introduction of such common property. ‘They make it dependent upon the will of future majorities, and upon just indemnity of the minorities, whose posseseions are to be taken; and above all, they insiet with a remarkable and laudable unanimity and zeal upon a universal and complete education of all, in order to produce a higher type of humanity as the only possi- to Dacis of an improved and clevated con- dition of society. Of course, the ndherents of the Association are ufterly opposed to all wars, except those waged in just selfdefence; and they expect in a very few years to be able entirely to pre- vent wars, either by a general strike of all the laborers, the soldiers among them, or else by moral pressure. Their creed is that all laborers ought to be brothers; that re- ligious divisions and prejudices of nation or race, and caste distinctions, are means to keep Pexaaxce held a subsoqnent marriage of the wife to be invalid, saying explicitly that it was ‘ noi- thor just nor expedient that a woman whose domi cile is English, and whose husband's domicile is English, should, while living separate from him in 8 foreign State, in which, up to the time of the vores, he has never set his foot, be per to resort to the local tribumal, and, withort any notice to her husband, exeopt an advertisement which he never saw and was never likely to ree, obtain a divorce against him behind his back.” On the fame principle, Me, MeFanuaxo's Indiana di- vorce will undoub‘edly be held of no validity whenever it comes before our New York Court’. — In the second race of the Orange County Trotting Meeting at Middletown, on Tuesday last, St. Kimo was entered. He vow the first heat, and the judges put up the time of the leat 2:99, Tho board announcing that time hung out for twenty minutes, and nothing wes said about its inaccuracy. The persons who own and control St. Elmo then went to the judges and re- quested them to alter the time mmounced and make it above 2:33, assigning as @ reason that it ‘was not correct, and that it would bar them from entering St. Elmoin the purse at Long Branch for horses that had never beaten 233, The judges altered the time, and announced it as 2:531¢. ‘That night St. Elmo was entered in the purse for 2:88 horses at Long Branch, to be trotted tor on Saturday next. Our attention hos beon called to this by two gentlemen who have horses entered in that race, ‘and one of them tells us that he will protest against St. Elmo as ineligible in that purse. Now, was there a fraud, or was there @ mistake made by the judges? uve the judges a right to al:er the workingmen disunited and so to rule and ruin them. They tried hard in the begin- ning of the present war to prevent it; but when this proved impossible, because in France all their leading members had a short tme before been imprisoned, they pledged to ench other the sacred vow that their bro- therhood shall not hereafter bo infringed upon by bloody strife of armies, and that this war shall, by their common futuro efforts, be made the last European war. They are republicans in sentiment; but they know perfecly well that the mere form of a republic is no safeguard against despotism and slavery. They are for self-government first and last; and they favor as the best means toward a real self government such institutions as are established in Switzerland, where the people themselves exercise a veto power over the action of their representa- tives. ——— nee If the Republicans want to make any head- way in the coming election én this State, they must cut aid connection with Grant's Adminis. tration, and take strong ground against putting a man at the head of the State Department who makes $60,000 by a single bribe, pie Aisha de Ahi That Count VaLmasepa had reached Santiago de Cuba safely from Bayamo, wo were informed some days since by the Diario de la Marina, According to the Count’s version of his transit from one city to the other, he went escorted solely by twonty-five cavalrymen, and did not catch a glimpse of the enemy the whole way. The truth has, however, leaked out. THe left Bayamo with 2,600 men of all arms, He was tacked day and night by the patriots along the whole route. He left over 500 men dead on the road, and earried humdreds wounded into San- tiago. He lost many mules laden with ammuni- tion and provisions, and all his own camp equip- age and personal baggage, including his Gene- rai’s baton, ‘Tho patriots harassed him up to within four and a half miles of the city, and they still remain strongly intrenched at that point, As is natural, not daring to Ieaye the city again for the interior, and fearing that De Ropas will, since his defection to the volunteers, supplant him in their good graces, he sends word by tele- graph to Havana that he has killed off every one of the Cuban leaders in the Eastern Department, and many who never were there atall. The ro- mance, however, is too Munchausenish even for the volunteers.

The independent and manly course of Tue Sew in exposing this and other outrageous abuses deserves the highest praise, such as the Loudon Ziti received for laying bare the deficiencies and frauds in the British service, by which thousands of lives were sacri- ficed in the Crinwan war, Imitating the example of their superiors, sev- eral chiefs of tbe bureaus have foand it conve- | nient to travel and to take their ease hundreds of miles away from the capital. Consequently the public business is in arrears and confusion, and the clerks are their own masters, When such facts are consi is not surprising to see subordinates with mieagre pay driving fast horses, sporting fine clothes, and building showy houses. Everybody knows such things cannot be done on small salaries, and the suggestion is natural that the means for this sort of indulgence are de- rived from opportunities afforded by public office. ‘They are exposed to temptation by the want of strict supervision and by the absence of high fune- tionaries who are charged by law with that re- sponsibility, and well paid for fulfilling it. Take a single example of the practical effects of this disorganization on the public service. The mail for New York leaves here at 9 o'clock at night, yet a letter cannot be registered after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Thus five hours are wilfully and shamefully withheld from the public convenience, because some official is in search of recreation abroad. There is one feature about the absenteeism of the President and Cabinet—and it doubtless ap- plies to other officers—which is positively dis- creditable toone and all They travel free of expeuse over nearly all the railroads, and on the steamboats, with the best accommodation, This privilege is not confined to them as officials, but includes their families, whether larg: or small.

By acvepting that sort of favor, their freedom end integrity of action are seriously compromised at « time when railroad combinations and monopolies are be- coming the most dangerous enemies of the in- terests of the people at large.
