CARLsRUHE, Sept. 0-sP. NJ
VIA LONDON
nag Of truce was despatched from the fortress
of Strasbourg TO the headquarters OF the Prussan
investing army yesterday. The nag was borne by
French officer and small party OF men, who were
despatched by General Ulrich, commander in Stras-
bourg, to convey to the Germans a proposition for
the surrender Of the fortress.
General Urlch proposed on the part OF the French
an immediate cessation OF hostilities, and that
French garrison numbering 10000 men be permitted
to still quarter In the citadel OF Straspourg tho ca
del remaining In the hands OF France until further
mutual agreement for peace was adopted by the two
countries. General Urich pledged himself, however,
as an officer and commander, that no gun on guns
should be fired from the citadel, and that the men OF
the garrison permitted remain should not take
any further active part in the present war. The
French commander also asked that the remainder Of
the garrison after this guard party in the CITADEL be
released their parole the officers marching out
wearing their side arms, the Prussans to enter
and hold possession of the city after the departure OF
the French troops.
The Prusslan commander rejected this message
with all its propositions and clauses Immediately.
Speaking for King william, lie demanded OF Gen.
eral Ulrich an unconditional surrender both OF the
city and fortress Of Strasbourg the act take effect
immediately. The entire garrison must first be-
come prisoners Of war. the French officers being
subsequently released on their parole and allowed
to take their departure wearing their side arms as
was then asked. A request for permission for all
civilians to leave the city refused, exception
being made with respect to women and children
only.
Towards the expiration OF the truce the Prussian
commander granted supply Of lint and medicines
for the use of the wounded md sick inside the CITY
and fortress.
The French commander (Ulrich) IN Strasbourg

to consider the Prussian demand for an uncondi-

Col. J. L. ROsSOn's Card.

F[2Elos0- Citizens Of Hardemun County
have to-day announced myself can
didate for reelection as your Representative
in tn next Legislature. This have not
done without due reflection and consultation
with many of my acquaintance from diff
ferent parts of the county.
Since becoming a candidate l have heard
of it being insinuated that am disOrgan-
izer. Now, in what am | disOrganizer
Have l not been your Representative, and
have l not the right to ask you, and have
you not the right to re elect me if have
made YOU Il faithful Representative ?
True, you have had sO-called cOnven-
ton; to which ! was opposed from its incep-
ton, knowing there was no existing neces-
sity for a nomin. qting convention in our
county at present And when the bell was
rang for the meeting l walked across the
street to the Court House TO make speech
in opposition, but when arOt there the meet
ing had already been organised by L. u.
Patrick the leading radical In the county,
calling Pitser Miller to the Cha If, and mo-
ton was being put that the JUS tees OF the
Peace present should be appointed q com
mittee on nominations. The conn. ittee re
tired, and after laboring for some time
brought in the name of VIM. Rush as the
result of their deliberations Esqr Rush
promptly accepted And so ended the con-
vention that proposes to control the RICH is
and liberties Of at least three thousand cit
liens of Hardeman county.
Now, my fellOW-citizens, | must not be
understood as impugning the motives of
those Justices of the Peace, for | know them
all, and know them to be honorable gentle
men. But l must be permitted to say,
think they acted without mature reflection
when they assumed to control the action of
three thousand free men, and call everybody
disorganizer who opposes their action If
such policy is to prevail in Hardeman, we
had as well say that the Esquires shall meet
when ever there is a vacancy and say that
Esquire Somebody shall 60 to the Legisla-
ture.
My friends, such policy as that will do
more to disorgonize and split our party than
I could do by running for the Legislature
forty timGs.
True, there has been some meetings of
equal responsibility, that have recommend
ed me as their choice, but claim nothing
on that account and dent want my friends
to call Esquire Rush a disOrganizer because
he opposes their choice, but 90 to the polls
untram elled, and If you think Esquire Rush
will make you a more able and efficient
duty to vote for him; and if you think
and | will serve you to the best Of my abil-
ity. Very Respectfully,

DfSpIeaSed.

Many of the voters in this county are
displeased at the work of the Convention
held at the court room on the first Monday in
the present month, and in consequence,
we have two candidates for the Legislature,
whereas we should have but one. Col.
Joseph L. Rosson has been called on publicly
and privately, to allow his name to go be
fore the people, and from his card, which
appears elsewhere in this paper and which
fully explains itself, it will be seen that he
is candidate for reelection to the position
which he now holds by virtue of an over
whelming majority vote.
1t is not our province to disparage or
bolster up the claims of either, but leave
it to the people to determine as to who
they will choose as their servant.
There is one point, however, which, as a
journalist, we cannot pass over without
giving it some attention 1t is this
The Democratic party, as a party, has
certainly made no nomination. At the
county convention no party platform was
adopted, no resolutions sustaining Demo.
cratic principles were offered Had the
call been made, as it should have been, for
the Democracy to meet in convention, and
having met had the Democratic State plat
form been ratified, and appropriate resoIur
tons passed, and nomination made in
regular order, then the nominee could
justly claim that he was the standard bearer
of the party in Hardeman, and all would
have been fair sailing. But no such pru-
dental steps were taken, and at a simple
mass meeting, irrespective of parties, bare
resolution empowered the magistrates pre-
sent to retire in private and select candi
date. William Rush, Esqr, was the choice
of majority of the committee, and hence
he and his friends claim that he is the
nominee Of the convention Thus the case
stands 1t is for the people to say who shall
serve them. Not the magistrates or the

WHAT THE BEAST SAYS.

Concerning the question of political disa
bilities we find the following going the
rounds of the press:
GENERAL SMITH TO GENERAL BUTLER

Gen B. +. Butler, Boston, Massachusetts 4:
. If persons political disabilities have
been removed by act of Congress would he
find any difficulty in being admitted to his
seat, if regularly elected Would he be re-
quired to take the test oath ? Has Con-
gress acted in good faith in these matters
and is there any disposition to do away
with the action had upon this subject?
Respectfully, Ton Benton SMITH.
GENERAL BUTLER REPLY.
LOWELL, Mass, Oct II, 1870
To Tom Benton Smith, Nashville:
If a persons political disabilities have
been removed by act of Congress if regular
ly elected, the member elect will be entitled
to his seat by taking a modified oath. Con
gress always acts in good faith, ard there is
no disposition on any part to enforce severe
penalties upon those who act in good faith
with Congress. BENZ. +. BUTLER
1t looks little strange to us that any SEN
sible, honest journalist would place any
faith in what Butler says, as some seem to
do. Why he tells two notorious lies in one
breath Congress al'oays acts in good faith,
and there is no disposition to enforce severe
