FrAasce.--The Is War Oneslfnn.
Yours truly,
w. b. DALE.

LONDON. Sept. 13,-It is generally
considered that the events of the last
fortnight have made little change in
the political condition on the Con-
tinent, either to lessen or increase the
chances of war. While on the one
hand the press of Germany have aes
sumed quieter tone, and protest to
be more confident of peace on the
other hand it is known that France
has refused the formal demand made
by the Chevaller Nigra, the italian
Ambassador, for the recall of the
French troops from Rome, and at the
same time Prince Girgenti has brought
to Paris the proposal of Spain to cem-
ent an alliance with France by send
ing thirty thousand soldiers to Rome.
This proposition and the approaching
interview which is shortly to take
place at Bayonne between the Emper-
or and the Queen of Spain, are looked
upon as fOreshadOwing an alliance,
the object of which is to rid France of
the care of the Holy See in case she
should be plunged into war; so that
by this means France, if without any
other ally, could make Spain useful.
Rumors. too, that several fighting re-
giments have been recalled from Afri-
ca, that Gen. Leboenf has been sent
on special mission to Germauy, and
that Prussia has determined to annex
the Grand Duchy of Baden, add to
the feeling of distrust in the perma-
nence of the existing peace. This
feeling is faithfully mirrored in Paris
by the depression on the Bourse and
the consequent decline of rentes, and
in diplomatic circles here the situa-
ton is pithily summed up in these
words: ''No fear of war-though it

He opposed the WilmOt Proyiso.

suppress the rebellion was more rev
olutiOnary" than the rebellion itself.
He declared the Montgomery con-
stitutiOn better than ours, and eX-
pressed the opinion that the war
ought to be avoided by the North
adopting it, thus giving the highest
possible sanction to treason.
He never in the last eight years once
delivered any argument, appeal,
denunciation or censure against the
rebel cause; and never failed to charge
revolution, usurpatiOn, outraged OPP
preston, tyranny and all the political
crimes in the calander upon the Re
publcans.
July 4, 1868, while Lees army was
in Pennsylvania, on its way to Phi
adeIphia and New York, and he had
heard only Of its success, he delivered
an OratiOn in New York, implOring
the North to compromise, warning it
against ciUH 1Odr dt home, and de-
nOuncing the Republicans for in.
fringing upon our rights, insulting
our homes, and depriving us of those
cherished principles for which our
fathers fought, and to which we have
sworn allegiance.
In oratiOn aforesaid he warned the
Republicans thus =" Remember this;
that the bloody, reasonable, and
revolutionary, doctrine of public nee
essity can be proclaimed by a mob as
well as by a Government
When Lee had been defeated, and
nevertheless the mob arose, which
his language had invited, he address
ed them as his " friends, 4" was receiv-
ed as their q friend" /" and promised to

suspension of the draft.
He told Mr.. Lincoln that the draft
act was unconstitutional, and warned
him that ifit was enforced his friends
might resist it.
He presided at the Chicago Conven-
tion, and, with it, declared the war
failure, and called for an immediate
peace-that is for disuniOn.
He opposed, and now opposes the
Fourteenth amendment, and all mea-
suFes marking treason as a crime.
Finally during the last eight years,
he has been admired and honOred by
every rebel in the country, and dis
trusted and hated by ninety-nine out
of hundred of those who demanded
the suppression of treason.

along the shores Of Lough Neagh,
when he was accOsted by st. Bridget
in tears, and was told that a mutiny
had broken out in the nunneTy over
which she perished, the ladies claim
ing the right Of popping the question.
st. Patrick said he would cOncede
them that right every. seventy years,
when st. Bridget threw her arms
around his neck, exClaiming, "ATah

the girls wild such proposal. Make
it one year in four" st. Patrick re-
piled, Bridget, acushIa! embrace

Bridget, upon this, proposed to st.

not marry, so he patched up the diff

of their doings here last night. aiam

The speaker was several times left
alone while his worthy heareres re-
paired to a saloon near by, in order to
keep their spirits up, by pouring other
spirits down After having swallow
ed large quantities of Democratic
forty rod Whiskey, and thereby get
ing their brutal natures worked up to
such a Fstch that nothing but blood
would satisfy them, they broke up
the meeting in q row, bruised one an
others noses, and huIraughed for Sey-
mour, Blair & G. in fine style. After
spaTring among themselves a short
time, squad of them repaired to an
old building in which the sheriff
had that day confined a man for petty
theft. They burst open building,

river, a distance of three fourths of a
mile; here they plunged him into the
water several times successfully, drag,
ging him out by the rope around his
neck. After indulging in this brutal
pastime to their satisfaction, and when
life had become almost extinct in
theirhelpless victim, they dragged him
out upon the sand, stripped him of his
clothing, and then beat him with clubs,
kicked and stamped upon him until
his head, face, shoulders and back
were complete jelly. They then
dragged him back to the Jail, thrust
him in, and left him thus, in state of
insensibility, to die if he would be-
fore morning, of which they had no
doubts. He is a German. ntc
The victim of this brutal, blood
thirsty, Democratic mob is in a hor-
ible condition, and suffering untold
tortures. But slight hopes are enter
tertained or his recovery. The per-
petrators of this destardly outrage on
the name of humanity are all known
to the citizens, and it it to be hoped
that the authorities will thoroughly
investigate the matter, and mete out
to them the punishment which their
crime demands. aa Hrr
Such is Democracy.

that while the flagship Of Admiral
Farragut was in the BOsphOrus, a

on board, had the copies returned.
The deputatiOn was then received as

A correspondent at Atlanta gives a
gloomy account of the condition Of
Georgia, and states that it has never
been so bad since the surrender Of
Lee as it is now. The expulsion Of
the eOlOred members from the Legis-
lature is but the first step in the Rebel
plan for gaining Che control of the
State. The next, it is said, viii be to
take from the freedmen the power to
vOte-nOt the right to vote, for Of that
no human power can deprive them.
The ultimate aim of the revolution is,
in the opinion of our correspondent,
the restoration OfSlaveTy, not perhaps
in name, but certainly in fact. We
do not think that these fears are un-
founded. The Labor Laws Of Georgia,
passed in 1866, virtually reduced the
negroes to serfdom, and unquestiona-
bly,, if there is authority i'm Georgia to
prohibit cOlOTed citizens from holding
offices, the same authority can take
from them the ballot. Frank Blair is
the leader of this revolution. The
people can only stop it forever by elect
ing Grant.

We were invited yesterday by a friend, TO call
with him and satisfy Oarse,ves by actual in

them terribly sore. She was treated by several

she grew rapidly wore. About six months ago
the cornea OF the left eye had become eaten

The corneR Of the other had become opaque
and She pupil closed. Some weeEsaso despair

faculty AID EimOst giving up in despair all
hopes Of seeing again, she called in DR.. Norris,
whom she had heard o. a. extraordinarily sue

Ing the eye, which stu contained the aqueous
humOr, Dr.. Norris was salishsd, although the
