The HERALD correspondent at the Prussian
headquarters in Versailles has had an oppor
tunity Of hearing Count Bismarck's opinion Of
the war situation generally and Of the peace
negotiations particularly. The Count says
Germany knows enough to demand full guar
antees of peace in the future. She does not
propose to lose all the fruits of her victories
by an ill-advised treaty with an unauthorized
government nor will she consent to an
armistice unless 1t looks directly toward per.
manent peace. He was willing to hear propo-
sitions or suggestions for peace from any
party concerned, from the ex-Emperor or the
provisional government, but he would most
thoroughly examine their credentials before
making treaty with them. These sage con-
illusions of the skilful diplomatist may put at
rest forever the rumors flying about relative
to the ex-Emperors chances Bismarck Is
not going TO make peace with a fgurehead
which the people have once pulled down and
which they win pull down again. Peace on
any terms made between Napoleon ami Prus-
STA would be obnoxious to France and would
not hold good even until the Prussian troops
were all off French soil. The best method
to meet the views expressed by Count
Bismarck is an armistice, during which the
constituent convention election can take
place, the body meet and recognize the pro-
visional government and authorize the accept
ance of certain terms Of peace The main
want OF the Prussian statesman seems to be
an authorized government with whom to make
peace, and the proposed action Of the conven-
ton during the armistice would supply him
with one more powerful than the empire,
because it is based on the affection Of the
people and the fundamental principles of
liberty and right.

clamation of President Grant by designating
the Oath day of November next. as day of
general Thanksgiving in the State of New York.
The recommendation Of Governor Hoffman is
couched in language particularly felcitois
He says
Let the people everywhere on that day, in their
homes well as In their places OF worship, thank
God for His many merces during the past year, and
pray 10 Him for continued blessings upon the State
and country. Let 1t be day OF peace and good will
among men, the spritOf true charity pervading 1t.
Let thanksgiving and prayers be accompanied by
good works, remembering, all OF us, while thinking
OF Coos mercies, that IN His WISDOM there are
always with us those who are in poverty aud dis
tress and that it is our duty, as II should be our
desire, TO assist and relieve them.
To our country friends we therefore say,
Fatten your turkeys for Thanksgiving Day
and to our city and opulent phianthropists,
Open your purses, in order that the blessings
of riches may be bestowed alike upon your
selves and the INDECENT among us.

BAYoNETs AND BoMBsHEILs-.!CAN SUCH
THINGS BE?'-If we may believe all that is
said by our democratic contemporaries the
national administration is preparing to carry
things with high hand and an outstretched
arm" on election day. Attorney General
Alderman, we are told has come to town TO
tighten the screws of the new election laws of
Congress, and General Butler, who under
stands such things, has been called in to help
Alderman. The United States forts, we are
further informed, are being filed with soldiers
to carry the polls, if necessary, by the bayo-
net; and, as last resort, several vessels of
war are to be held in readiness to shell the city
We incline to the opinion. however, that the
polls will not be carried by the bayouet, and
that the city will not be shelled on election
day, but that from the precautions taken for
law and order we shall have very quiet and
orderly election. The moral of all this cleo
tioneering fuss is that
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion OF the law.

THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND FACTIONS of
this city are not 80 numerous as we have had
them, but still we have enough. There are the
radical republicans and the Tammany republi-
cans and there are the TammaDy and Mozart
democracy and the anti-Tammany or Young
Democracy and the Democratic Union democ-
racy and the Tammany reform democracy and
the labor reformers, sc. But all these may
be divided between Tammany, the radi-
cal republicans and the Young Demo crazy,
and for Mayor between Tammany and the
Young Democracy, or between the ms and the
outs, and the general impression is that the
outs will not come in.

Senator Morton, of Indiana. declines the

Ex-senator Hendricks) to the vacancy in the
Senate-a service TO the democracy which Mr.
Morton is not disposed to render. Had the
republicans, in the late election, carried the
Legislature, 30 as to secure a republican
Senator, Mr.. Morton would have accepted the
appointment to England. Here, then, we have
a man whose devotion to his party cannot be
questioned for the honors of the British mis-
sion are next to those Of the Cabinet, and the
salary is seventeen thousand five hundred dol
lars year, while the pay of Senator is only
FIVE thousand dollars
Who comes next? This mission ought not
to 60 begging. IT has been declined, each in
his turn, by two men well qualified for the
position-ex-Senator Frelinghuysen and Sena-
tor Morton. But surely some competent and
satisfactory man may still be found to accept
it. AT this crisis, too in European affairs
proper and popular Minister OF the United
States in London might render great SER
vice to the civilized world as an advocate of
peace. Mr.. Motley, from his peculiar situa-
tion-anything but pleasant one-can do
nothing And SO, in view of the duty and
policy Of our government as an advocate of
peace in Europe, and in order to relieve Mr.
Motley, his successor should be appointed and
sent over without further Deedess delay.

tour In the provinces at the close Of this week
Before her departure, however, she is to take

for a time to the public whom she has de-
lighted, instructed and elevated by her splen-

trdgedienne like her on the American stage
Not second to Ristori In that knowledos
which enables the artist to use dramatic effects

with which nature always clothes the most

statuesque grandeur she is not always eouaI

despair brings upon her heart, and the for

life Of the poor actress
Marie Seebach has selected this character
one of the finest in which she has yet ap-
peared--for her benefit tomorrow night, and
no better selection could be made. An addi-
ton TO the drama will be the recitation oil
Schillers noble poem, the ''Song of the Bell"
We understand that she does not mean to
part with us leaving few farewell words un-
spoken. In short, her gratitude for the re-
ception she has met with in this strange land
impels her to deliver parting address in her
naive and simple fashion, which will, Of
course, be most interesting to hear. She
plays her great r6le of Marie Stuart, for the
last time, at the matinee to-day. Seebach

AN UNLUoKY BUHGLAR.-An unfortunate
housebreaker, more unlucky than his fellows,
had the top of his head blown off on Twenty
third street, night before last. He attempted
TO enter locksmith's store, but the locksmith
having big gun, loaded with slugs, attached
to the shutter, it was discharged at the in
truder and killed him instantly. There is not
likely to be any of the laws delay in this
case; neither will the services of the District
Attorney, judge or jury be called into requisi-
ton. Mr.. dAngostinos guntrap anticipated
al legal proceedings.

The American banking house of J. S. Nor
gan Il Co., in London, has undertaken to
introduce into the English money market a
new French loan of ten millions sterling The
bonds are to bear six per cent interest, and
are redeemable by annual drawings in thirty
four years. Although the loan is promptly
taken in the English market, the question may
arise as to the responsibility of the govern
ment which contracts it. Whatever the issue
of the war may be, the dc Jacto government
of the future would not be likely to repudiate
debt incurred for the purpose Of saving France
from dismemberment, and there are capital
lists enough who sympathize with France who
will come forward with funds to assist her in
the present crisis. It is still doubtful whether
the ruling authority in France after the re-
establishment Of peace will be imperialistic or
republican. The bases of peace negotiations
may include the question Of the character Of
the future government. If Prussia, with the
concurrence of other monarchical Powers,
should insist on the succession of the Prince
Imperial, that would seal the fate of the
young republic. AS to the existing gov
eminent of France, there may be some
difficulty in finding it. just now it is divided.
Part of it is in Paris, part in Tours and part
may be up in a balloon at present. We pre-
sumo, however, that all the little difficulties
attending the responsibility and the want Of
settled seat Of government will be overcome
in the minds of capitalists and that the French
finances will be recuperated on the strength
OF the national credit. Indeed it appears, by
our special cable telegram from London, as il
they have been already overcome, for we learn
that the new French loan has been received
most favorably and is eagerly sought after for
Investment.

FINANCIAL PROSPERITY OF Our Cry The
ATREs. One sure test of the prosperity of a
city Is the amount of money which its inhabi-
tants are able and willing to spend for popular
amusements The fact that the receipts of
eighteen Of our theatres and concert halls
during the month of September amounted to
two hundred and sixty-three thousand and
eighty-seven dollars indicates NOT only the
prosperity of New York city, but the presence
s'within our gates" Of Q large number Of
visitors. During September and October the
hotels have been crowded beyond precedent.

The BERGEN TUNNEL DIFFICULTIES. Every
now and then we hear of disputes between the
rival companies of New Jersey whose lines run
through the Bergen Hill tunnel. These dis
putes generally result in Inconvenience to the
travelling public. Whatever differences may
arise between these railroad corporations the
public should not be made to suffer. Let the
companies arrange their differences IN some
other manner than by delaying public
travel without any necessity, as was done on
last Saturday evening.
