 The first Issue ef $500, 900 has already been placed, and sales are being filled from the sec. ond issue.
 About s2,oo0. GOO has been expended on the l load, and the work is being carried on with the utmost vigor.
 Less than s6o.ooo will be required to com plets the line between New Haven and Mid dletown, and trains will be running over that section during May.
 The Bonds are issued only as the work pro- ! gresses, and for but one half of the actual cash expenditures; thus constituting Loan, on Bond and Mortgage, in Connecticut, secured | hVr Al Bonds, the Company paying Connecticut State ana Local Taxrs and the U. s, Income Tax.
 The Connecticut Air Line Bonds have from the first ranked with the best securities in the market, and have justly been regarded with the utmost confidence by investors. The vast importance of the enterprise is shown at g glance; while the value of road, saving 2 miles over the present most popular route be- tween the two chief commercial and financial cities of America, can scarcely be over-estima- ted.
 The Continual decline in Governments, has in- creased the desire to convert the premium which remains into interest-bearing capital; and We know of no form of investment which combines all the excslencies embraced by this loan. or of- fers the attraction to those accustomed to holding Governments which. .asas3ound in the Air Line Bonds. We find that the esteem in which they are held is general. and have observed, among prudent and conservative investors, who prize security in an investment above all else, that an understanding of the merits of the bond will cause them to acc cept it in preference to all others.
 The Bonds are issued in denominations of $500 and s, ,OOO, and are in the form of Coupon Bonds, but can, at the option of the holder, be Registered either with, or without. Coupons attached. They are still offered at Par and Interest.

New-York tribune., 1870-10-10

The struggle between France and Germany
seems to be fast degenerating into war of
intrigue and diplomacy and though King
William and Won MOtke, who not only isn't
dead but who talks of his youth as if his late
successes had rejuvenated him, do not an
ticipate the capture Of Paris by negotiation, it
is not impossible that Bismarck may yet sue
ceed in making peace to his liking. 1t Is
clear that his troubles in peace-making come
now, as in 1866, partly from his own camp. If
eve do not become extravagant in our de-
"mands," he wrote his wife just before the
treaty of Prague which followed SadOwa, and
"do not imagine that we have conquered the
"rord, we shall obtain a peace worth the
"having. But we are as easily intoxicated as
"cast down, and have the unthankful Office
"of pouring water into this fOaming wine, and
"tO cause it to be understood that we alone
ado not inhabit Europe, but with other neigh
"bors" 1t is safe for Germany and the world
to trust the peace-making to this man with
these sentiments. To be sure, the first attempt
was a signal failure, and the present efforts
making by OF through Gen. BOurbaki and
Gambetta do not rise to the dignity of di-
plomacy, and smack somewhat of intrigue
Nevertheless, Paris appears in more present
danger from Bismarck's than from Won Moltke's
designs.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-10

the Republican administration OF Canal affairs,
~ conspicuousy rs the rival system il marked
Inv folly rashness and pronigacy. By their,
fru;ts We shall know them. When at length
that mother of mischief and enemy of all good,
Tammany, by means OF its rowdles, repeatcrS
and miscOunters, elected the Republican ad-
ministration, the public accounts Tor 1869
showed the unpaid balance of the Canal debt
IN he but s12,676O21 q. No art can obscure
this most creditable fact, that ten years OF
wise and economical management had enabled
the Republican Board to reduce the Canal debt,
bv means of surplus revenue alone, nearly
$17,OOO0OO.
For ten yenrs lust ended the annual average
Of surplus had been S2,9C431O II and it was
cIeor that but five years more of like manage
ment was needed to extinguish the bonded
Canal debt altogether. In the face of such
financial possibilites-withOut calculation or
an estimate to found its action upon; against
every lesson of experience; to serve the pur-
noses of Tammany and the Canal Ring; to
secure the support of forwarders and their
confederates in the Judicial election then
approaching and their certificates OF good
management when called for thcreafter-thls
faithless and corrupt Democratic Canal Board
at one stroke violated the Constitution 1t had
sworn to support, pauperized the Canals, and
postponed the payment of the Canal debt to
such time as it shall please the people to tax
themselves to pay it.
The force of such facts is obvious. The
large and still controlling mass of the people
who look with disfavor on breaches of public
law and official duty will heed but little the
solicitations of these unjust stewards to be
reelected to the trusts they have already be-
trayed, and will be slow to tax themselves to
replenish fund which, but for their peryerse-
ness and prodigality, would have been ample
to tighten their own assessments.

The little Kingdom of Bavaria has not yet
learned the difference between the substance
and the shadow. She is 10th to give up the
semblance of her independence, and prefers
her present doubtful position as an ally of
Prussia to the proposed one of member of
the North German Union. She declines to
yield control of her army and diplomatic, postal
and telegraph systems to Prussia. This decision
will not, we imagine, greatly defer the
Union and the Empire of Germany With Ba :
den. Hesse-Darmstadt and WUrtemberg admit
ted, Bavaria, dreading the final absorption OF
the insecure independence which awaits on
small States sandwiched between great nations,
will hasten to secure greater strength by yield
ing its little power TO complete the Union.
Separate existence will be as illogical and as
nearly impossible to the small States of South
Germany as was the neutrality of the Border
States in the great American Conflict.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The late experiment with chemical com
pound as a fire-extinguisher suggests attention
TO the rayagcs Of fire in the metropolis anu
the means for its restriction. That there are
chemicals which are more effective than water
is not new discovery, but our main reliance
must still be upon the latter.
II is fortunate, therefore, that the statistics
prove that New-York has system which has
already done excellent service, and is constantly
producing better results. BY a comparison OF
figures for the months of June, July, August,
and September, in 1863 1860, and 1870, we find
that in the first period there were 2l5 hres
and losses amounting to $0GO,92l IN the second
257 fires and $6j1 ,532 losses; while durng the
last four months there were 20 fires ana
sG44.17O losses This steady increase III the
number of fires shows that people do not
nroft by experience while the diminution in
the amount of losses is gratifying proof Of
the increasing efficiency of our Fire Depart
ment.
Our citizens cannot forget the reign OF rui-
fanism which the present fire service sup
planted, nor the fact that the change was
effected by the Republicans in defiance OF the
active opposition of the entire Democratic
party. 1t is profitable at this moment to re-
member that the Fire Department Is the only
branch of the public service which has escaped
the destructive influences of the Democratic
reform which was the result of the last gen
eral election. The Commissioners were changed,
but otherwise the Department was let alone
which explains its continued efficiency. If Mr.
Tweed succeeds in November in retaining his
hold on the State he will probably feel strong
enough to fulfill his threat of last year, and
make our engine-houses again the nurseries OF
crime and turbulence, at the sacrifice annually
of millions of property.

Active hostlities in France are again trans
ferred to the region of the Vosges. The lines
of investment about Metz have been frightened
lately. resulting in fresh efforts on the part OF
Bazaine to break away. In every instance his
efforts have been foiled. The Baden troops
descending the western slope of the noun
tans near st. Rcmy encountered, on the 9th
inst, a force of 10000 French, who have been
organized in that region, and after an en-
gagement lasting all day, dispersed them
with serious loss. The passage of the
Rhine above COlmar has been COM
pleted by the large German army
which has been for some time forming, and
the movement upon Lyons has thus begun in
earnest.
In the mean while the Prussians before
Paris prepare for the bOmbardment and an
assault. 1t is intimated that the present week
will witness the struggle, which, if made in
force, cannot but result in one of the most
bloody and desperate encounters of the war
