having abandoned BroNnlow and others, who are
speaking in the North. He says these men, in
their meetings among themselves, make no secret
of their determination to incte negro insurrection
after the fall elections.
They are bent on lhaying that or immediate
negro suffrage. In their onddential converse
tions they say this is very good way TO get a

these Northern people will not want us, and then
our only chance is to get the upperhand of the

design Mr. Norton says, has determined him to
break his association with the adventures.

had been guilty of neglect of duty in absenting
himself from his post without leave; second by
Mr. Josiah Cole, president OF the City Railroad

remedy was in the hands of the City Railroad
Company against policeman as against any other

equal prOpriety, hold policemen to appear before
them to answer for non payment of rent or grocery
bills. These were not matters embraced in the

The RoyaI Street Railroad.

the Fourth District Court prohibiting Messrs.

of the track, was arrested. The grounds upon which
the injunction was asked was that the streets of
city are for the common use Of all citizens are
not objects Of special appropriation and the
common council, whatever its contract might be
with Messrs.8 Nicholson & Co., had no right to d
vert the public thoroughfares from the purpose
for which they were ceded and designed.

REPORTED DETAINED BY BAzAINE
HIS EMPERoRsH1P A PRISONER

New YORK. September 20.-An arrival from Rio
Janeiro confirms the report of a desperate battle
between the allies and the Paraguayans on the
10th and 18th Of July.
The fighting was stubborn and sangunary, aud
resulted in the discontinue of the allies, who
lost 1900 in killed and wounded. The Paraguayans
fought behind entertainments and lost less.
NEW YoRK, Sept, 20.-The late battle arose
from the determination of the allies to dislodge
the Paraguayans from the positions they were
fortifying, which would have enabled them to en-
danger the allied left and rear.
The Paraguayans were surprised and driven out
at daybreak on the 10th, by brigade of Brazil
ians, and after short fight the victors then ad-
vanced to assault the Paraguayan works in the
rear, but were received with such fire that they
were forced to abandon the attempt and confue
themselves to a defense of the works they had
taken. On the 18th general assault was made on
the next line of the Paraguayan Notifications
which were carried but recovered, and again re-
taken, but finally, after heavy fighting, the allied
troops were recalled, retiring in good order with
out being pursued.
The works captured on the 1Gth remaining in
possession of the allies are likely to be of geat
service.
The second Brazilian division, 5000 strong under
Panto Allegro, had been incorporated with the
allied forces.
Two or three thousand conyalescents had also
Joined the army.
Reinforcements have been demanded, and are
expected from Brazil and the Argentine pro.
vinces.
The Argentine Congress is expected to increase
| its export and import duties
A Brazilian transport was lost in the Platte
