THE BREMEN STEAMER HERMAN DRIVEN BACK

Early on Saturday morning the Bremen
steamer Herman, Capt Reichmann, with A. passenger
chiefly Germans cleared from this port, and after
passing Sandy Hook found two French cruisers slowly
moving across her PATH and both carrying the coor
Of France, at the distance Of about three miles. The
Captain made them out to be the steam coryett'
La Touche Creville, and the gunboat Britomarte
though It Is thought that the latter was more
probably the Egremont, which sailed from Hayre on
secret service about month ago. The officers Of the
Hermann were ut once summoned 10 consult with the
Captain. The engines stopped, and in few
minutes the order given TO put about and return to

The special correspondent of The TRIBUNE at st.

ton at Sedan the Russian journals are more inclined
to acquesce in the Prussian terms of peace.
The Petersburg Gazette thinks that Alsace and Lor-

Prussia ght take less. There is general uneasiness
concerning the future as to the European situation

The special correspondent of The TRIBUNE at

between Prussia and Russia and as to armament on
the part of the latter are unfounded
Russia is at present in her original atti-
tude, and has rendered Germany great service
in keeping Denmark, Sweden, and Austria neutral.
As recompense it is understood that as soon as the
war ends the treaty now excluding Russian warves-
sells from the Black Sea will become dead letter.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN
THE TWO SOyEREIGNS.
LONDON, Saturday, Sept "a, 1870.
The Times this morning in its war correspondence,
has the following details of the meeting OF King
William of Prussia and the Emperor Napoleon at
Bellevue The meeting between the two monarchs
was very cordial apparently. After shaking hands
they entered the conservatory. The officers who
were in the conservatory then came out leaving the
two alone. A dialogue then took place, OF which the
following is the substance:
KING WILIIAM-God has given our arms victories IN
the war you have precipitated.
EXTERIOR NAPoLEos-The war was not sought Dy NE,
but was imposed upon me by public opinion
KING dissenting gemphatieally)-Your Ministers created
that opinion Your army, however certainly noush'
bravely ,
EMPERoR-But the Prussians had the discipline that
mine has recently lacked.
KING-Before and since 1865 studied carefully the
experience and the invention OF other nations.
EMPERoR-Your artillery everything. 1t s the
finest in the world.
KIsG-In the matter OF artillery particularly we nave
utilized the experience of other nations.
EMPERoR-Prnce Frederic Charles decided the event
OF the last battle his army carrying our last position
KING-You err IL my son who fought at Sedan
EMPEROR-Where, then, was Prince Frederic Charles
KING-Ts army corps is before Metz.
The Emperors self-possession apparently deserted
him momentarly receiving this intelligence lhe
King continued:
KING-Have you anything to propose

KING-With whom, then, have to treati
EMPERoR-with the Empress. With the Government
at Paris; am powerless can make terms; give no
orders.
KING-wnl wilhelmshohe suit you as a residencei
EMPRRoR-Yes
The conversation was continued for short time,
the King expressing coincidence for the Emperors
misfortunes. He at length withdrew with every
mark Of respect.
Gen. de Wimpffen, in a recent letter, says the En-
peror surrendered in a very cowardly manner at
Sedan He Gen. Wimpfen proposed movement
which would have redeemed everything, but it was

LONDON, Sept 25, 1870.
The election of the National Assembly is much dis
cussed in the Paris newspapers Most of the journals
approve making the measure for appointing them
take place earlier than usual. But some Of the ex-
treme Republican journals are very angry. The
Rerdl says: "Favre tells us that the Assembly must
be convoked that we may treat regularly with Prus-
sia He forgets that the Republic treats with
invaders. We tell him plainly beforehand that we
shall regard all deputies who may accept this supreme
dshonOr as traitors" Having asked what kind of
an Assembly that would be in which there was no
representatives from Alsace Lorraine, Champagne
or ne-de-France and where it would meet, The
Rereil says NO a thousand times no! The cleo
tion of October I'd is impossible 1t will not take
place" The Arear National foresees great difficulties
in the election on account of the hostile oc-
cupation" The Temps however, claims that if one
Department remained firm, that Department would
represent and exercise the whole sovereignty OF
the nation. The Figaro publishes very serious ap-
peal, which may be thus epitOmized: We have
neither artillery generals, soldiers 1t is neces-
sary to acknowledge this and not to delude our
selves with dreams. The hour for JdHfaronddeS is
past. All Frenchmen are brave; but handful of
ChasseuFs de Vincennes is worth more than whole
regiment of men, brave but mdlGdroit. Frenchmen,
weigh this matter we'll Meet, consult resolves then
send men to declare plainly whether you wish war
OF peace If you feel that you have more courage
than military resources do not be afraid to do your
duty The Steele protests earnestly against what it
calls the misunderstanding" that in the election OF
deputies to the Assembly the country Is summoned
to choose between the Republic and some other form
of government. That question, it protests, cannot
be raised "The Republic exists in law, and in fact,
and is as regularly constituted any form of gov
eminent has ever been in France"

THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND.

EARL RUSSELL ON THE RIGHTS OF NEUTRALs.
LONDON, Sept. 25, 1870.
Earl Russell, in letter declining the chair OF an
international law and social science gathering, states
that America, and afterwsrd England, abandoned
the doctrine that armed ships of war and enlisted
troops should be prohibited from leaving
neutral States, but the result caused complaints,
which the conflicts of nations rendered perfectly
possible. The obligations of neutrals should be
diminished rather than increased. During the
present struggle" said the Earl, armies have been
sent TO one of the bellgerents and Goals have been
sent TO the other We should go no further than to
stop armed troops and ships armed and manned,
from leaving the country" The letter, in short,
urges that the doctrine of President Washington
should be made the law of nations.

The Prussians have bombarded Nantes la Vile.

railroad to Rouen
On Friday, a detachment Of Uhans entered
Etampes and demanded money and arms The
Mayor of the town refused unless force large
enough to overpower him came to enforce the de-
mand. The Prussians then left. and none have
appeared there since The Prussians are said to be
in force at Pithvers. RS miles south west of Paris
in the department of Loiretl,
II appears that the scare at Orleans was totally
unfounded. No Prussians have been there, as re-
ported though a small body of Uhlans had
pressed forward as far as Pithiviers, % miles
northeast of Orleans On the approach to
Pithvers hundreds of people betook them
selves to fight believing that large Prussian force
was marching up. The town being left defenseless,
the few Uhans were enabled to make large requisi-
tions without molestaton. Another result of the
scare was the needless cutting and destroying of the
railway to protect Orleans which as it now appears,
was moi menaced at all. One regiment of Turcos Is
now in Orleans.
The commanders of the German forces investing
Paris have stationed their headquarters as follows
The King at Meaux, Prince Albrecht at Brunoy, the
Crown Prince of Prussia at Fontainebleau, the
Crown Prince of Saxony at Bezours, Gen. Won

FEARFUL MURDER In OPELOUsAs
A Deputy Sheriff Assassinates his
Prisoner
From the New Orleans Picayune, sth ]

From the New Orleans Picayune, 9Th.
Some two weeks ago, it will be remem-
bered by the readers Of the Picayune,
Deputy Sheriff Mayo, of the parish of
St. Landry, was shot and killed, in the
town of Opelousas, by James G. Hays,
upon whom the deceased was endeavor-
ing to serve an order of the Eighth Dis
trict Court. Hays was the sheriff-elect
of the people, while Mayo was the deputy
of DR.. Thompson, the sheriff appointed
by the Governor, the latter not recogniz-
ing the election of Hays. So it would
seem there were two rival sheriffs, and
Hays, not recognizing the validity of his
rivals claims to Office, refused to be
served with the writ by Mayo, and, on
Mayo persisting in entering his premises,
shot him dead. He Immediately surren-
dered himself and, after the usual pre-
liminary examination, was committed to
Jail, whether charged with murder or
homicide we know not.
Hays two boys, mere children, shared
his incarceration. From the first he
and his friends feared assassination, and it
was thought the presence of the children
would touch the heart and avert from his
purpose the villain who might be hired
to undertake the bloody deed. They
were too young to be Of any physical
avail In his behalf and the hope in their
helpless clinging to the wretched father
awakening a touch of nature in his as
sasin was equally unayailiug. He was
brutally SHOT to death, not by any dis
guised hand from outside, but by an Off
Ger of the law, I. W. Evans, his jailor
and one of Thompson deputies. He
fred into his body with double-bGrreled
shotgun, even while his victim slept be-
tween his children.
We understand that Evans confesses
to have been hired to do the deed. We
trust there will be no further bloodshed,
and to that end the aw.abiding citizens
of the parish should unite, utterly ig-
noring political differences. Otherwise
this Christless code, that must have a
life for life, will take the place Of the
laws of the land, and a convenient occa-
sion for undue interference with the per-
sonal and political liberties of the
Pensioners at large will be afforded and
certain to be made available.

of boats were citizens, and were AZ much
entitled to the use Of the streets on the
river, termed wharf, as other citizens
to use the streets. The wharf, as well
as the streets, should be free. To lay
tax on steamboats, for discharglng their
freight on the wharf was burden on
river commerce; and it would be just as
proper to tax railroads for discharging
their freight and distributing il over the

say the city should purchase all the pri-
