The Boston Post consolingly remarks that
"the black male is popular as voter, but
that one per cent. blackmail isn't popular

Secretary Robson desires to be senator
from New Jersey, and procured the English

The states that have held elections the
present year give the following democratic

so. 900: Tennessee, 10000; New York
5000; total, 239, 800. Pretty good for a
start.
The Detroit Free Press thinks that the
radical abuse of the ku-klux organization
in North Carolina, because it did not com

friends to carry the state, is certainly
ungeuerous, if not unjust
A radical exchange fears the result OF

LONDON, Aug. lS.-A telegram from
Briey, town I miles northwest of Metz
has the following:
An obstinate struggle occurred near Mons
Latour TO day. Il lis supposed the engage
ment was general
Large mum bers of the wounded of both
armies are arriving at Briey.
A vast body of Prussians have been
thrown back upon the Moselle by the Impe-
rial Guard.
The Prussian artillery was intrenched be.
tween Briey and St. Jean.
The French are constantly fighting and
retresting. They are contesting every step
with the enemy.
On Tuesday, the Emperor passed through
Ferdun, reaching Rheims, where he now is.
kilograms from Paris this morning give
the following resume of events since Sunday
last, on that day the French army engaged
the Prussians, and the latter suffered
heavy losses The French then retired on
Verden.
On Monday the Emperor was at Gravel
lott with so, 200 men.
The presses also say the French forces
are increasing constantly, and that the
Prussians are decreasing.
The hour o: complete victory for
France is near at hand.
There is great activity on the fortitica-
| tions at Paris, thousands of men at
work putting the defences in better condition
| than they ever were.
| BERLIN, Aug. l8.-An official saws that
| General Alversben was advancing yester-
| day with the Sd corps toward the east side
of Metz on the line of the enemy's retreat
towards Venden. He encountered a very
severe fighting division OF Gen. DeCsrrie.
! Lademiran, Frossard and Marshal Courob-
ert and the Imperial Guard and Ger. .Alvens-
ben was sustained successfully
| by the 9th army corps, aud BY detachments
OF the Sth and 9th corps, commanded by
Prince Frederick Charles. The enemy was
driven in upon Metz in spite of his superior
| ity OF force, after q severe combat of twelve
| hours.
| The losses on both sides were very great,
and the Prussian generals Dosing and
Weith were killed and generals Pausch and
| Gruscher were wounded.
| King William TO day saluted the troops
on the field of battle, which has been glori-
ously maintained by the Prussiau arms.
New YORK, Aug. lS.-The Worlds Lon
don special says: There are continua
reports of engagements, but they refer to g
series of conflicts which are necessarily
entailed upon the two contending armies BY
their vast numbers aud by the extent of the
lines on which they are moving. The
Prussians will doubtless leave Verdun be-
hind as thev have left Metz, Thienvills
Btsche, Strasburg and other fortified
places.
1t is believed, on the best authority, tina
the French will concentrate at Chalons with
100000 men and one thousand pieces o
artillery, and that the Prussians will attaci
them with over 100000 men and fourteen
: hundred pieces of artillery. All the action
of this week may be considered as prelimi
nav to one of the greatest conflicts the worl'
has ever seen. 1t i, thought that here tn
French will endesvor to make the decisive
battle as soon as possible, for politica
rather than for military reasons.

PARIS, Aug. Is The different battles
around Metz fought by the troops of the I'd

were engaged The Prussisn loss was very
great, it is computed at 1000. The F.ench
loss was comparatively small owing to
the aid afforded BY cannon at an adisc-
