A CASE or PERJURY.

short time ago, the people of this city
were shocked by the report of " horrible out
"roc cein Harlem.n A girl of thirteen years of age
,node affidavit in one of the Courts that certain
man whom she named had induced her to enter
n shanty, where she was subjected TO force'
and violated under the most cruel and shock
ing circumstances. The accused was arrested
and incarcerated to await trial; and the mdlg-
nation of the people of Harlem against hlm
was 80 great that the reporter declared he
would have been lynched if he had fallen into
tbeir hands. When the case came up for trial
on Tuesday last, the complainant, on exami-
nation. declared that all her previous state
ments were false, that the outrage never took
place, and that she had been induced 10 make
the complaint by other persons. Whereupon
tbe man who had been accused was honor
1" ably discharged by the Court.
But is there to be no penalty for the real
culprit in this case, who not only committed
periury. but who charged man with crime
of which she now says he is guiltless-a crime
for which he would doubtless have been Sc
verely punished if she had persisted in her
original falsehood, and for which, as 1T was,
he suffered Imprisonment for nearly ten weeks
while awaiting trial There could scarcely be
a more wicked or atrocious otfense than that
of which this girl was guilty; and she, as well
as the persons who induced her TO commit
perjury, should be severely dealt with by the
law. We trust the case will be investigated
and prosecuted. We have been led to believe
from the developments in several analogous
trials of late years, that this case is not with
L., in
which conviction has followed trial on SINH
larly false charges but in which the truth did
not appear ill it was too late to remit the
penalty. These bad girls who are induced by
base persons to peEjure themselves as a means
of extorting money, or crushing some wretched
victim, should be taught that they are guilty
of crime which is followed by severe retri-
button We should think there need be no
difficulty in getting hold of the persons who
were in connivance with Mary Matilda White.

TO BUSINESS MEN.

The circulation of THE DAILY TRIBUNE hav
ing been increased about fifty per cent within
the last two months, the prices of advertise
ments will, on and after the oath inst, be as
follows:
Ordinary advertisements, classified under ap-
propriate heads, 80 cents per line each inser-
ton.
Loaded and Displayed Advertisements charged
solid space.
Special Notices-Fifth page-5O cents per line,
each insertion.
Advertisements on Eighth page are charged
20 cents per line, each insertion.
Business Notices-Fourth page-75 cents a
line, each insertion.
Item m-[ArnOuncementl-In City News Col
umn, rs cents a line for solid Agate space.
Fancy Type and Cuts are charged double rates
for space occupied.
About ten words average a line, after the
first line, which usually contains only four or
FIVE words.
Deaths and Marriages are charged ST.
The value Of advertising in journal depends
somewhat on the number of its readers, but
still moro on their average character. One
might have vast circulation mainly among
those whom business men would find little
profit in addressing. THE TRIBUNE is not
merely bought and read by more persons than
almost any other American journal-it circu-
lates in every State and in nearly every town
ship throughout the Union, and its patrons are
educators, merchants, professional men, master
workers, and leaders in almost every arena of
inspiring and hopeful human endeavOr. If it
were proper to publish list of them, it would
appear that no other journal does or ever did
command the patronage of so large proper
ton of the foremost thinkers and workers of
its time. For this reason, it affords men in
business a means of reaching those whose
attention they would gladly attract such as is
not found elsewhere; while its wide columns,
clearly and fairly printed, invite the regard of
intelligent readers. TIE TRIBUNE believes in
low prices but rates should compare with the
work done and facilities offered, and, believing
that our new rates are much lower than those
of any other daily newspaper, considering the
extent and character of circulation, we do not
doubt that our customers will be ready and
willing to pay them.

It is not at all pleasant to find that while
the Radical leaders in Paris are showing on
most subjects good sense and moderation, and
the populace from which such terrible out
RACES were predicted keeps as quiet as Sun
day-school, the elements of discord in the
French capital have been abundantly supplied
by quasi American. Gen. Cluserets mad
violence, displayed in the columns OF the
Marseillaise, was so extreme that M. Henri
Rochefort felt obliged to disavow all partici-
patton in the management of the paper; and
we confess we are not as sorry as we
ought to be to learn that the mob rebuked
Gen. Cluseret next day by smashing the
printing Office The telegraph made the enor-
nous bunder of reporting that Gen. CluseretS
article was "rcactonary.' 1t was, on the con-
trary, frantically Democratic outburst, ac-
cusing the Provisional GOvernment-Rochefort
only excepted-of being reactionists and
Orleanists in disguise, and instigating the
people to another revolution. There are some
crazy patriots whom nothing will satisfy but
an upsetting of the whole universe, and we
are afraid that Gen. Cluseret is one OF them,
though he lived long enough in the United
States to know better.

The most important and cheering news
which reaches us from Europe is the
announcement that Count Bismarck and
VI. Jules Favre have met, and have discussed
the question of peace between France and
Germany. Nothing is known of the inter-
view, save that the authority and power of
the proposed Constituent Assembly were
discussed; but we cherish the faith tnat only
good results can follow the free interchange
of ideas by these fitting representatives of
the two great and liberal peoples of France
and Germany.

After the Democratic Ratification Meeting
held yesterday at Rochester had confirmed the
denomination of the State ticket, made some
time ago in Mr.. Tweed's back parlors,
that gentleman gave us glimpse
into the future. The majority in this
city, he announces, is fixed at from fifty to
sixty-fve thousand. Mr.. Tweed is moder-
ate. Why he did not say seventy-fve
thousand is not apparent He could
| lust as easily make it the one figure
as the other, on his theory that the Elec-
ton and Naturalization laws cannot be en-
forced against the villainy of his repeaters and
the fabulous arithmetic of his canvassers
But herein the owner of the city majority is
to find his mistake. We shall enforce the
laws, and under them the majority in this city
for Gov. Hoffman will not be either sixty five
or fifty thousand
We are still, at the hour this is written
without the full text of the platform. But ii
is not needed. The real platform is John Il.
Hoffman, the tool of Tweed g. Co.. and the
signer of the Erie Directors bill. The Ratif-
cation Meeting at Rochester may adopt what
reputation of The Worlds devotion to Louis
Napoleon and denunciation of the Germans it
course toward Cuba-what professions of a
friendship to peoples struggling for Freedom
which gets no further than resolutiOns-what
abuse of Republicans, and profession of devo-
ton to Democratic principles;-all this deceives
nobody, and amounts to nothing.
We await the response of the Young De-
moc1acy to their cOntemptuous rejection. If
they do not mean to accept Mr.. Tweed's re-
buke and pass meekly again beneath the yoke
they will need to make elsewhere a more
marked demonstration than they effected at

advantage of the Church in all other parts OF
the world. Naturally the policy to be pur-
sued toward the Pope must for some time be
n grave and embarrassing feature of Italian
politics. The complications growing out Of
the question cannot be foreseen. The one ac-
complished fact which it is now necessary to
recognize is that the temporal power il ended,
and that there is no nation in Europe able and
disposed TO restore it. With the Pope and the
Church in their purely spiritual capacities,
Victor Emanuel and the Italian Government
have nothing to do and to this complexion
the new question will doubtless resolve itself.

"Centralzation is the great bug-bear Of
the "Democratsn The Hon. A. G.. Thurman,
exhorting the Cincinnati Democrats" on the
18th inst, dwelt upon tho way in which-in
consequence, mark you of the Rebellion, and
in consequence Of that alOne-the General
Government had done great number of OBJ
jectionable things and had INDUCED in lots of
"usurpatiOns." We all know what "a Dem

some measure to which the Government is
obliged to resort to preserve its very existence.

THE ITALLAN OCCUPATION or ROME.


Rome is at last in possession of Italy. The
foreign power which for ten years has hindeTed
the unity of the Kingdom and the occupation
of its rghtful Capital has been broken, and
instantly the natural and rightful order of
things is resumed. The Italian troops having
invested the city, entered it on the Goth, with
but slight resistance and amid general reoc-
ings; and are at liberty to proclaim and to
make it the capital of their country. The
occupation of the Imperial City was foregOne
conclusion when Napoleon fell and Victor
Emanuel had no longer the excuse of foreign
power in Rome with which to answer the
passionate demands of his people. Expected
though it was, the event will create profound
sensation throughout ChristendOm. There will
be unaffected joy among all free peoples at the
attainment of the great aim of the Italian ma
ton. 1t is the most important, almost the cul-
minating act of unifcation. The recovery of
Nice and Savoy, unjustly wrested and still
illegally withheld from Italy, will complete the
work of Italian unity begun ten years ago.
There will be curious surmises, conflicting
opinions, grave doubts as to the wisdom of
this sudden ebliteration of the Papal temporal
power In its brOadest sense we believe it
viii be to the advantage of the Church and
the world. Catholicism has been for many
ages powerful agency amid the conflicting
movements of civilization. The possession of
authority not purely spiritual has added moth
ing TO ITS strength as such agency; indeed, it
has weakened the influence of the Church bv
reason of the lack of vigor and progress
with which the temporal power was directed
and enforced. Ii was, in certain sense a
scandal to the Church, and the loss of IFS
temporal power at Rome will revert TO fine

There ought to be a general response to the
call for the convention of Southern Union
men at Knoxville which has been issued by
Gen. Hamilton and Mr.. Booker. The Union
men of the South have heretofore failed to
act with that unity which is their greatest
strength and protection. Any movement of
the kind which promises to organize their
strength for the support of the Union and the
advancement of its true policy of Impartial
Suffrage and General Amnesty cannot but result
in the benefit of both citizens and country.

TILE LITTLE BEFORE PARLS.

The first serious conflict in the investment
of Paris has resulted in a defeat for the
French. The Prussians, having passed the
Seine at Choisy, six miles south of Paris,
moved west and seized low range of hills
lying in front of Forts Issy, Vannes, Mont
rouge, Bicetre, and Ivry. The attempt seems
to have been resisted by the French only in
front of Forts Montrouge and Bicetre. In
the immediate vicinity of the latter
fort is the village of Yillejuif, men
toned in the report as the locality of the
struggle. The engagement was fought on
Monday, the 10Th inst. The Crown Prince of
Prussia commanded the Prussian and Bava-
rian corps which took part in it. The French
corps engaged was that of Gen. Vinoy, which
failed in the attempt to reach MacMahon, and
after the latter's defeat fell back to Paris.
This corps was the largest half of what re-
mained of the active or regular army of
France outside of Metz and Strasbourg. In
the engagement of the 10Th it seems to have
lost seven guns and several thousand prison.
ers. King William, always moderate in his
estimates, says I" seven guns and many men,"
There is little doubt, from what was pre-
viously known that an overwhelming force of
Prussians had crossed the Seine and were in
position to take part in this fight. We infer.
therefore, that there is little exaggeration in
the report.
This engagement has one other significance
and result of interest and Importance. The
low range of hills which lies south of the
southern range of forts, to which we have
before alluded, forms a highly important fea-
ture of the topography of this part of the
vicinity of Paris; for it commands forts Bice-
Ie, Montrouge, Vannes and Ivry. German
official statement, which gives in detail the
elevations of this range and OF the forts, adds
that the latter were built before the introduc-
ton of rined cannon, which from these hills,
variously called the flights of Bagneux and
of Sccaux, could easily render the works un-
tenable. 1t is evident that the Ger
mans believe the weak point of Paris TO be
on the southern side, and are endeavoring to
secure these positions. Whether tho French

Previous reports left little doubt Of the COM
plicity of the Chinese local authorities in the
horrible massacre at Tien Tsin. The state
ment of the Protestant Missionaries, which is
published elsewhere, serves to confirm it, and
to suggest the fear that other and higher au-
thorities were cognizant of the terrible plot.
French policy in China has doubtless been
productive of much ill will between the natives
and foreigners, but this will not excuse the
Chinese Government for the atrOcity of its
officials nor relieve it of its responsibility to
other nations.
