WAR News FROM EURoPE.-The news
from France this week concerning the war has
not been of great Importance. The invest
ment of Paris seems to be nearly completed,
although the circle about it is not vet yery
strong in all its parts. But the isolation of
the city is so far accomplished that no inteli,
gence directly from thence can be obtained ex-
cept by special messenger, if such shall be per-
mitted or be able to make his way through the
surrounding lines. Several dispatches were
received last week concerning fight on Mon
day, 18th. 1t seems that PruSsian column.
10000 strong, advancing from Corbeil. was en-
cOuntered by a French force of about enual
numbers, posted in the most advantageous no.
sltlOns and with formidable artillery. The
SLAUGHTER was fearful The masked batteries
of French mitraileurs kept up so continuous
and terrible fire that the cavalry and infantry
OF the Prussians were decimated and repulsed
along the whole line. This was attoped tor
however, by the Prussians, by the surrender
OF IOul, which was announced on Saturday
which was an important victory for the Ger
mans. Twenty-seven hundred prisoners. one
hundred and ninety seven cannon, five hun
dred and. odd thousand rations-these were
the material advantages gained. By this can
tuation the Germans become possessed of an
IN bstructed line of railway communication
between their frontier and the City of Paris
BIT it is not generally thought that there will
be much fighting. The city will be starved
into surrender. 1t contains two millions of
souls, and in addition the rural population for
circuit of twenty miles around have been
thrOnglng to it for weeks. SO vast a popula-
ton cannot be provisioncd for any length of
time. Concerning peace negotiations, London
papers report that the general principles of
proper basis have thus far only been ar
ranged brtwcen Bismarck and Favre that the
details are now under discussion. The oues
tlon as to who can ratify on the part Of France
forms leading element in the discussion
FaVre, it is stated, has informed his associates
that although the question OF terms has not
yet been reached, the cession of Asace will
certainly be the ultimatum of Prussia. and
that he has little hope of the success of his ma.
tlon. Concerning the forming of an alliance
against Prussia, the New York Tribune saws
that NJ. Theirs has failed at Vienna as at Lon.
don. the Austrian Premier candidly acknowl-
edgng that Austria is in no condition for in
terposirg to save France He now goes to
Russia, but with little chance of success

nave they failed to improve the opportunities
thus presented. 1t it no small thing for one
OF them to receive, as he has, indirectly from
the State-$60, ,00O,-two others $4,000 each
by parties outside of the State for party ser
wees, to say nothing of the vast sums received
from the party for State printing, &c. Who
would not be called the peoples servants, and
be in fact the peoples masters. No govern
ment ran long exist with such enormous drains
upon its treasury. No man, not even the
State Treasurer, can give a satisfactory account
of the financial condition of the Treasury.
Suffice it to say, there remains at this moment,
in the Farmers Bank of Delaware, only about
$1,000 to the credit Of the State; while the
interest on the State debt remains unpaid, and
the principal itself is surely and steadily in
creasing. No wonder the intelligent, and con.
sclentious and honest portion of the party
have become alarmed, and determined that the
reproach of their party shall be wiped out by
the political death of the men, by whose dis
honest and per6dious misrule such shame has
been brought upon them.

TIE PoprLATIoN OF New YORK CRY, it is
estimated is under 100000 The Assistant
u. ). Narshal1 have made returns Of 322 out
OF the 345 districts, and estimating the nhabi,
tants OF the remaining l3 districts. the popula-
ton amounts to SS5,G2G souls. These returns
have been obtained at Washington, but the
United States Marshall at an interview with
an inquirer, asserted that the population would
reach 95O.00A 10 these figures he says must
be added $1,000 for persons who had wilfully
eluded the census takers. If the estimate Of
the United States Marshal be correct, the non
ulation of New York will reach one million
souls The census returns of Brooklyn and
Kings county have been completed, from which
it appears that the entire population of Kings
county amounts to 4ll.jGG, Brooklyn having
490, ,574 inhabitants, and the county towns -.
992. These figures are less than those pre.
viously reported in consequence of too large
an estimate OF the population Of the Sixteenth
ward Of Brooklyn.

IHE PUBLIC MONEY FOR PARTY PURPOSES
There is no fact which demonstrates more
giianngly the necessity for thorough civil SER
wee H reform, than the tax which is levied upon
Tn 2llco noluers Tor party aud campaign purposes
The abuse is one of long standing and common
to all parties, but we believe has never been
carried quite as far or reduced to such perfect
system as appears at presCn to be the case.
Formerly, men who held important and lucra.
tive positions under government were generally
expected 10 be proportionally liberal in their
voluntary contributions to party purnoSes
ihey were generally active and prominen: poll
tlclanS and 1t was part of the price which they
were expected to pay for the position which
Is arranged to nicely. Every man who holds
an an ofhce Is assessed in proportion to his salary.
Nobody Is left to determine for himself how
much he can afford to contribute to the snn.
port OF the cause, but committee calculate to
fraction what each man in office shah be re.
qulred to pay for the support of the party.

DRUNKENNESS IN DELAwARE-Rev. Mr..
LightbOurn, Of Dover, Grand Worthy Chief
.Iemplar of this State, in an address to the
people, makes the following statement: With
population not exceeding $50, 600, Delaware
spends or rather wastes annually, for spurious
liquors, three million seven hundred and sew
enty thousand three hundred and fifty dollars
(S3,77O 25O). In the county of Kent there are
seventy five (75) licensed places where alcohol
ic liquors are sold. In the town of Dover-a
population of 2,0O0-in one year the quantity
OF liquor sold amounted to $4,000. What a
fearful picture rises up before the Imagination |!
These figures only set forth the waste of mon
ey, and the quantity OF liquid death and dis
titled damnaton'' consumed by the people of
Delaware; but who shall tell us of the ruined
fortunes, tarnished regulations, crushed and
broken hearts, hecatombs of precious lives sac
riicedp Could we bring up tie forms of those
who, maddened by the wine cup, stained their
hands in the blood of their fellow men, and
ended their days upon the gallows or could we
evoke from the 6 pit of fire. those who have
gone down to drunkard's 5 hell we should have
some conception of the burning tide of desc.
lation which the demon has been rolling over
our unhappy land.

oTRAUSBURG AND NICKSBURG--It is forty
SIX days since the siege OF Strausbourg began.
During that time the city has been wholly
isolated by the besieging army, which has con-
Stantly been drawing its lines closer, planting
Its artillery IN more advantageous positions,
and cannonading the city itself, as well as one,
rating directly upon its detenses. The peonIo
ot Strausbourg have suffered terribly during
the siege, and the damage done to the citv it,
sell has unquestlonably been very great. The
siege OF Nlcksburg, conducted by Gen. Grant
N the Summer OF 1868, lasted forty-six DAYS
from May l9, the day of investment, to July q
the day OF surrenderl, or just as long as the
siege OF Strausbourg has now lasted. The
garrison OF Strausbourg including the regular
troops and the National Guard-numbers
about 10000 men, while the besiegiDg force is
about $4,000 strong. At the siege of Vicks-
Durg, by Grant, the garrison of the place was
ABOUT $4,000 men, while the besiegng lumber

HONEST DEMOCRATS DISCUSSED WITH THE
SALISBURY RULE.-Eight years since the
DUO d Aumale, in a celebrated pamphlet
asked the BoRapartes, "What have you done
with France p In the present debaucbed and
ruined condition of the State, this ouestion
addressed to our Bonapartes, assumes terri
nble significance What have pou done
with Delaware p is the question which. nro.
pounded to the Salisbury regime, must now
be answered to the satisfaction of the people
OF th,- state. What have you done with
reference to It's laws, and its finances? How
nave the general interests of the State been
a1Fane"4 and how stands the account as be-
t',-" ; ~, l-a rulers, and the people you have
peen called upon to represent? From recent
developments it seems probable that these
questions will be presented to the Fanailv con-
slderatlon, and must be answered A port;on
OF that party, hitherto known as the Demo-
cratic Party of Kent County, and ruled BY
more than despOtc power, for the subservence
OF the interests of one family, have asserted
their independence, and declared they will no
longer submit themselves to the ruinous and
extravagant policy OF the present Salisbury
administration. Hence we have a new, and
what now promises to be, a strong and vigor-
GUS movement by the party calling itself the
Reform Democratic Party" These men
have concluded that the time has arrived when
the " Family" must prepare to give an ac-
count of their stewardship, and leave, for the
future, the government of the State to other
and more honest and competent rulers. And
10 this, we confess, as simply lookers-on in
Venice, we have no objection to utter We
are only surprised that :he men of spirit and
Independence, as we know them to be, should
have waited thus long, and have borne with so
much patience, the rule of this iniquitous
State administration. The Bonapartes, we
are persuaded, never ruled the people Of
France with will more despotic, than have
the " Family Ring" governed the Democratic
Party of this State, and especially of this
county. Firmly seated in power, they have
parcelled out the Offices of the State 20 those
only whose zeal and cooperation promised to
themselves tue greatest political rewards Nor
