Posiai0a or the Freaeh and German
AP01eN.


FrDaa the 81. Louis Republican.
The delay Of the French in crossing the
German frontier Is xllained by the unex-
pected Circumstance that the Prussians sue
ceetled in inassing an army on both sides Of
the triangle formed by the French boundary
in the direction from ThiOnville and Saar-
garmund TO the most southern points of the
Matinaae On the Rhine, and BY the Rhine
! ie-elf If the French had not found IN
army either opposite Strasburg, or opposite
their lines on The SaaP sufficiently strong for
deSense, they would certainly have thrown
their fsrces upon German territory at once
This 6rst danger, resulting from the charac-
ter Of the French boundary, whereby the
French army, sanding in the centre Of
a triangular terrain, might lie enabled
to throw itself On either side Of the
triangle and choose no, only its
own hattie ground, but af.o
the weakest side Of the enemy, has been
ev.ded By the Prn~ians. The advantage of
being in the centre and having to fight an
enemy On the eireamierence, though limited
~ the neutrality Of Belgium and SwitDer-
land, Wa Mill very considerable at the COM
mencement Of the present campaign. Bv
the rapidly Of the Prumian movements, and
the previous Distribution of immense stores
Of provisions IN the various fortresses and
nasaxiDss along The westesn BOUNDARY of
Gesms.y, this natural advantage of the
French Was rs3ueed to nothing, and the dam
ger Of nm invasioa n Preach territory bv the
Prussians - the very outset Of the var Is now
.. great o the probability two weeks ago.
tina the French might at once
push an army across Baden and Wursem-
berg into the heart Of Germany. The Ger
man armies seem, indeed, to cover the i'm
menae line from Treves TO Landau, and
thence Up the Rhine to Kehl, where their
Iek wing, with their centre probably at Zwen-
ikRscken, under the Command Of the Crown
Prince, FREDERICK William, coufronts the
right wing Of the FNneh under Gen. NcNa-
bon. 4 general engagement on either wing
will very likely At once be followed BY an
aftaek on the whole line, and considering its
length L may happen that the left wing Of
both armies may be 3eSeatea BY the right |
winE in their ffoaa. Soon, donhless, We
hall have dispensed with speculations of
this kind, whicA can do little more than sat-
isfy the comnoa desire to anticipate the |
events Of the fieure. /

The Buffalo Courier of Thursday say.:
About three hundred people, Including a
number If ladies, assembled At the Lake
Shore Railway bridge yesterday afternoon
To witness Frank ThOrne make leap into
the creek. About ) O'Clock Frank appeared
on the upper part Of the bridge dressed in a
sort Of Georgian uniform-''trunks," We
believe is the technical name-and was
greeted with any amount Of applause. The
intrepid jumpi-t responded b. gracefully
waving his hand to the crowd, and almost
Immediately started on run for the verge.
Without the slightest hesitation he jumped
of, and, descending in 4 perfectly perpen-
dicuiar position, his hands and arms being
kek close to his body, struck the wases fairly
and disappeared beneath the surface. Scarcely
had the excited crowd relieved their anxiety
by long drawn breath when Mr.. Thome
rcappeared and boldly struck ont for the
shore, swimming in a manner which fully
testified to his uninjured condition. As he
landed upon the somewhat muddy bank he
was vociferOu~y cheered.
The distance from the top Of the bridge
to the water i q little less than fifty feet
Some little inconvenience was experienced BY
Mr.. Thone from the proximity Of the tele-
graph wires to the edge Of the jumping
point, neceszitating a running jump Of about
'ix feet to clear them. The leap will be re-
peated this afternoon, when staging will be
erected ~ a. 10 obviate this obstruction
Mr.. Thorne informs N that his proposed
leap from the upper Suspension bridge at the
Falls will be exactly one hundred and
ninety feet by measurement. A platform Is

will he made from this. standing.

The cens.,s shows the population of An
derson county to be but little over 5000.
This Is somewhat of disappointment to

high as 5000 inhabitants. This Is fair
average, however, with the random estimates
and actual results in other counties of the
State.-GrneH Hdiadeaker.

Had they been at all hurried, they would
have overturned the light centre-tabIe in the
library, and knocked down the paint-po,
which had been used by the wOrkmen in the
house. and stood ON the crate fireplace. Fol
the reason Of this want Of confusion, it i
almost certain that more than one lenson was
engaged in the murder.
The deed must have been done between
one and six yesterday morning. On that

and her son. " there Washington and

Not wishing to awake him, he pulled the

given him he can prove that he had never
used the money received by him for his own
private purposes, and complains that he had
no opportunity to cross-examine witnesses.
When the affidavit was read, Mr.. Butler spoke
in favor of postponing the consideration OF
the question. Mr.. Logan said that nc

of the case and directing the summoning o
other witnesses were defeated by large ma
