LONDON, Sept. 24.--German ac-
counts state that Bismarck was not
averse to making arrangements with
Fayre but the King, to all rcmons-
frances, replied that he had a debt to
pay the memory of his parents, and
that France shall make peace in the
same way that she forced Prussia to
make peace-in her capital and in
the palace of her rulers. He says he
is bound in honor to the Emperor
not to recognize his overthrow
through an advantage taken by his
enemies Of the victories of the Ger
mans.
Jules Favre returned to Paris Fri

New YORK, Sept. pa special to
the Telegram, dated Berlin, the 9th,
says: "a report is current in this
city in well informed circles that the
Emperor has revoked the decree
which he issued on the surrender of
Sedan for the revocation of the de-
cree creating regency. AS Emperor,
he has therefore sent an envoy to
Metz TO consult with Marshal Bazalne
in regard to terms of peace.
This confirms the statement made
by Bazaine, that he should only treat
with the Emperor in reference to
peace negotiations. News of this at
titude of Napoleon has been suppress
ed as far as possible. There is the
greatest excitement in political cir
cles, inasmuch as there is a strong
party of influential men who are OPP
posed to the continuance of the war.

Grant County Democratic Convention.

Delegates from various parts of
Grant county assembled in the court
house square yesterday afternoon.
Between and 3 o'clock il was con-
Guided that the court room could &C.
commodate the multitude, and the
whole representation of the democ-
racy of Grant repaired thither for
their deliberations. There was o
delegate FROM Lima and some from
Potosi. There was a representation
from PlattevIlle and some from FL
lenboro. There was body and
strength from Lancaster and some
from British. There were, all told,
the same number that gathered at
the "Last Supper" and exceeding by
two the number that in olden time
would have saved the Sodomites.
The action Of the whole body was
exceedingly harmonious. The NOM
nations were unanimous and the
prospects Of the nominees must be
as Gathering to them as the repre-
sentation of yesterday was to the
whole body Of the democracy of
Grant. Coming events cast their
shadows before" and we are certain
ly magnanimous enough to wish
that the shadow of yesterday may
never grow less. The following
ticket was decided upon
For sheri0-WM CHANDLER.
For Treasurer-GUSTAV MEYER
For Clerk of Board Z HUBBARD.
For Clerk of Cnurt-HENRY EASTMAN
For Register-J0HN KOLB.
For District Atty-NEiSON DEWEY
For Surveyor--HUGH MOORE
For Coroner-DANIEL BAYFIELD,
These with John Strachan as the
figure head and the Assembly nomi-
nees, yet to be made, will constitute
the democratic ticket this Fall.
sGy- The Washington correspondent
Of the New York Tribune says that
the receipts from internal revenue up
to the 22d, inclusive, is little over
$4,000, 600 The total amount for
the month will be about $14,000,000.
The receipts from customs, so far,
has been about S15,000,000, and it is
estimated that it will reach about
500, 900, 900 for the month. This will
make the net receipts for the month
about $37 100000. From public land
and other sources receipts will be
about S3,000,000, so that the grand
total will reach $40,000,000. The ex-
penses of the Government and the in
tercst on the public debt, etc, will
not exceed $50, 900, 50 that it is
safe to presume that the public state
ment for September will show a saw
ing Of from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 600.
The large reduction of tho revenue
taxes and the custom receipts, to
date from the lst of October, will, af-
ter September, be the cause of only q
small saving in each months return.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-Paris letters
say all the imperialists have faith in
the restoration of the empire and
Napoleon, and that it is the settled
determination of Bismarck to restore
them. A letter of the 18th remarks:
The army now curses the French
Emperor, but the reaction is sure to
take place in view of tho terrible
state of things throughout France
probably the defeat Of the present
rulers. The almost unanimous de-
sire Of the peasantry is to see the
Emperor again on the throne, and
anarchy is almost sure to occur here
when the Constituent Assembly
meets. The course of events looks
az if it would take this turn. Cor
respondence public and private,
from the South of France, represent
the condition of things bordering on
anarchy and every way deplorabe.
LONDON, September. 20 DR.. Guest,
who has recently made tour of in
spection through Rhenish Prussia.
Hanover, Baden and Hesse, makes
an earnest appeal to the charity of
all Germans for the people of those
countries. He says that towns are
crowded with helpless women and
children coming in to beg for broad.
The fields are left untitled, villages
are swept clean by the armies, of
food. His picture of these regions
of victorious Germany is scarcely
any better than that which is drawn
by others of the vanquished districts
of wounded France. The prices of
all necessaries of life have Como up
threefold.

New York, Sept. ga cable dis
patch to the Times, dated London
the 18th, says the fall of Strasbourg
is considered to make but little
difference in the question as to the
power of resistance of France.
Everything turns on the ability OF
Paris to defend itself for three
months. That time gained, the
Prussians will never retain fort in
French territory. The whole coun-
try is rising in arms.
The statement in the London Times
to-day that Theirs is empowered to
offer the Russian Government full
latitude Of conquest in the East as
the price of Intervention in the
Franco-Pruss'an war is utterly i'm

which are reported in our Congressional

WASHINGTON, January 14.-The Senate
resumed the discussion of the Virginia bill
at 2 P. NJ, but though the body was, quite
full, there was marked falling off IN the
interest, animation, and life that had char
acterized previous proceedings. "A recess
was taken at o'clock until in the even.
ing, when, after long debate, in which
Drake, Warner, Carpenter, and others
participated, the Senate was quiet surpris'
ed by a spirited speech from Upton against
imposing fundamental conditions. The
sensation of the evening, however, was a
very carefully and thoughtful speech from
Carl Schvrz, the new Senator from Mis-
souri,. This speech was pitched on a
decidedly liberal key, and was an unan'
swerable protest against the positions of
Sumner and Drake.
