RuHoRED KILLING OF JAMES FISK

Toe New York Tribune of Jan. 26'h
thus refers to and comments upon u late
rumOr:
| On Saturday afternoon there ran
through the town q wild rumor of fresh

money in The la god excitement, that
M"rrissey had threatened to punish him
publicly nnless be made restitution, and

Unrest of public chnstIsement had been
Two hour later the whole story proved
n c,uard. patched, probably, by some
Inscriptions reporter. But The tale
has moral. Commonly murderer

uity Of bis net tha, public sentiment Is
disposed 10 defend, If not TO vindicat-,
the victim so oru'aliy deprived of The
opportunity of self d-fense. Yet when
this report was at ITS strongest the usl-
ness world received 1t wl'h IA mud acqul-
esceore IN ;he fruess of the agent to ms

Bur an explanation beyond this lies IN

If our contemporary desires to put an
argument into the mouths Of the Catho

part of the school fund should be set
apart for the separate instruction Of The
blacks and We take it for granted.

CASDoR compels the statement tina,
the English government has been the
subject Of Misrepresentation With re.
gard to the seizure Of the Peabody
lands. TIE laws of England make it

The War Situation in France.

The intelligence regarding the situation abont
Paris and Orleans is somewhat contradictory.
Several reports state that French force was
at Etampes, only thirty miles from Paris; that
Prince Frederic Charles was still fully ten days
march from Toury, and one account even ven
lures on details of a strategic manGuvre by
which General Paladines had secured posi-
ton in the rear and front and on the right
flank of the Duke of Mecklenburg -Schwerin's
army But the most reliable authority of all
Chat is, King William himself) teIegraphs that
a battle has been fought near Dreux, in which
the French were defeated, Dreux &C cupied and
pursuing movement towards LIE Mans COM
menced. We have all along found King Will
liam reliable in the matter Of kilograms. He
seldom makes report on insufficient grounds.
His phlegmatic German temperament will
never allow enthusiasm to run away
with him, and we can take his word
in these matters against all the Tours govern
ment can say. It is apparent, therefore, that
the left wing, at least, Of General Paladines'
army has been defeated at Dreux, and it is
highly probable that the decisive battle be-
tween Paladines and Mecklenburg is even now
going on in the neighborhood of Etampes and
within hearing distance Of the besieged in
Paris. The Importance of this engagement is
obvious. If Paladines wins and drives the
German forces in dismay back upon their
comrades in the trenches, then resistless
sortie of hundreds Of thousands of men from
the inside Of Paris and another fierce onslaught
by the victorious Frenchmen on the outside
will grind King William and his troops like
grain between the upper aud neither millstones,
and the siege Of Paris is raised. If Paladines
loses, then France must begin over again.
The latest dispatches say the fight was renewed
yesterday afternoon. As the day progresses
we shall probably hear the sequel OF this battle
and more satisfactory details Of all the impor-
tant events connected with it,

way Of realization by Russian aid. Let the
war begin and Egypt will soon master the
Isthmus Of Suez at home and the choicest pro-
Vices Of Turkey abroad. Thus Power will
be built up upon the very track Of the great
commercial and political progress of the Orient
grateful and devoted to Russia.
But, over and above all this, there is the out
lying majesty of the great American republic.
Our eyes are turned toward the West, az the
gaze of Russia turns toward the East These
two Powers are the Alpha and the Omega Of
the future. A century hence, perhaps, we may
clash upon the broad expanse Of the Pacific,
but to-day we are friends. Unlike in every
thing, we agree by our dissimilarity. The
principle that the Gear upholds in the Black
Sea is our principle upon the Gulf Of Mexico.
America comprehends the situation of the
Muscovite empire to-day, as she cemprehends
her own for tomorrow. The crowns quake
and the nations are agitated; but truth and
Justice find their refuge with the strongest ex-
ponent of established authority left to-day in
the Old World. Russia stepping into the arena
thus suddenly, guarantees reconstruction Of
Europe. That reconstruction can be made in
no other sense than for concord and co-opera-
ton. Thus is the Gar, by the providence Of
God, revealed as the political Messiah of the
moment The word gone forth from st.
Petersburg and echoed in Washington will be
felt aud obeyed from London to Rome.

RADIcALIsM RUN MAD.-The feud between
the Missouri republicans WAKES hotter every
day. The liberals appear disposed to frater-
nizs with the dem ocracy, and as such fusion
would give the democrats both branches of
the Legislature the bare suggestion drives the
extreme radicals almost frantic. In their
frenzy they propose that Senator Schurz shall
be excluded from all Senatorial caucuses
during the coming session of Congress, and
that he shall be dropped from all important
committees, and especially from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs. Not satisfied with
thrusting Schurz out of their party they must
needs provide comfortable berth for Governor
McClurg, who was so ingloriously defeated in
his second race for gubernatorial honors.
Instead Of being allowed to retire to the
shades of private life, to which an indignant
constituency consigned him, he is to be called
to Washington to revel among the spoils Of
Office as the head of bureau in one of the
departments.

Our FOREIGN POSTAL SERvIoE.-We give
in another column a statement showing the
operations Of our foreign mail service for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1870. 1t will be
seen that the aggregate amount of hostages on
United States and European mails amounted
to nearly million and half dollars, being
nearly fifty-eight thousand dollars less than
the previous year. This reduction is at.ri-
buted to reduced rates Of postage, which COM
menced on the LIST Of January. 1t is a. singular
fact that the amounts of hostages on malls
exchanged with Great Britain and the North
German Union are within comparatively
small sum of being nearly the same-that is.

REJoIoINes OVER THE New KING.-All over
Spain they were firing salutes yesterday in
honor of the election of the Duke of Aosta as
King, while the Duke at Florence was received
with enthusiastic acclamations by the Italians.
The new King goes in with drums beating and
banners flying; but how will he come out with
the task Of governing the restless revolution

the Carlists are neatly disposed Of; but what

We publish in another column OF inc
HERALD this morning the full particulars Oh
the late naval prize fight between the French
despatch boat Bouvet and the Prussian gun
boat Meteor. The description Of the connlcs
comes from one of the HERALD correspondents
in the Antilles, who had an excellent opportu-
nifty Of witnessing the whole set-to from the
deck Of the Spanish man-of- war Herman
Cortes, which accompanied the combatants,
with Captain General De Rodas on board, who
was to act as umpire. Our correspondent de-
scribes very infinitely the whole affair-exs
planning how the fight was brought about, the
arrangement OF the prelimnaries, selection OF
umpire, scene of action, first blow and first
blood, number OF rounds, clinch--everything
in fact, from the shying of the castor into the
ring to the tossing up of the sponge by the
Herman Cortes when the Bouvet was almost
helpless from injury to her boiler and the
Meteor unmanageable on account OF
the entanglemeats in her propeller.
Before the fight the betting in Havana was in
favor of the Prussian. The only sad incident
about the whole transaction is the death Of
the three poor fellows who lost their lives
during the contest Were it not for this we
could enjoy hearty laugh over the naval
prize fight. Even the harbor of Havana might
be obtained at a reasonable price for series
of performances, the money paid for the privi-
lege of fighting inside the lines, Of course, to
be sent to Spain. De Rodas could manage
the show and employ the soldiers Of the
Spanish army, which has not done
anything in Cuba for the past year or
more, to act as special constables and
water police. In case that idea does not suit
we recommend that both combatants make the
cruise Of the different harbors of the United
States and give a series of exhibitions therein.
There is not the slightest doubt but the under
taking would prove paying venture. All
prize-fghters do it. Why, then, might not
the Prussian Meteor and the French Bouvet
conform to an established custom? New York
will give them good reception if they will
'stry it on in the lower bay.
