In speaking Of the admission of
Revels to the seat of jeff Davis, the
New York AdUertiser relates the fol-
lowing:
Twenty five years ago a we'll edu-
Gated Indian applied for admission to
the practice of law in the State OF
New York. He was rejected on &C.
count of his color and race. Since
then he has filed high. social and po-
litical positions, and Is now one OF
tho trusted friends and advisers OF
the President of the United States.
1t was be who drew up the original
manuscript of the surrender of Lee
at Appomattox. A general in the
army, a man of note and weight in
affairs of craftsmanship he has con.
quered the prejudices of race and Sc
cured a distinguished position among
our public men,"
The writer is supposed to refer to
Colonel E. s. Parker, former private
secretary to General Grant, and lat.
terly holding an important commits
sion in the Indian bureau.

diseourteous to the ledger as to IL
sinuate that its editorial was inspired
behind the stone front of the Jour
NAL ofiee-an amusing instance Of
the absurdities Of which malice often
makes its subjects guilty.
The animus of all these persecu-
tions on the part Of the Courier and
Denlokrat is found in the fact that
Mr.. Deeds was Republican, and as
such was appointed a member of the
city police. That he had always been
man of exemplary character pre-
vious to his encounter with Captain
Fitzwilliams, was freely conceded by
the attorneys for the prosecution at
the trial. Nor was he charged
with having the slightest animosity,
personally, towards Fitzwilliams,
either previous to, or at the time of,
his death. Hence, while the killing
may not have been justifable,
the act vas in no sense murder
and to call it such is a shame
full perversion of language. Other
murders have been committed

Gus poeus arrangement by which tn,
latter was permitted to make his es
cape 81 open Court, never aroused tn
virtuous Indignation of the Denlokra
or the Courier, in the slightest. Al
their wrath Is reserved for Republi
can offenders and none others.
This policy we presume is pa
eaccelzence the capital of partisan pa

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

The New- York Times published special dis
patch from Europe yesterday, announcing that
"three energetic messages" had been sent
from our Government to Berlin, protesting
against the continuation of the war. On in
quiry at the State Department we learn that
this story is entirely without foundation. Gen.
Grant adheres, perhaps more strictly than the
occasion requires, to the policy of non-inter-
ference with European affairs; and though
he is ready to act as mediator whenever his
good offices may be invited by both parties,
he has no purpose of volunteering to play the
part of common friend. We think the United
States might without improperly intoTpOse a
remOnstrance against the unnecessary waste of
life, without waiting for joint invitation.
When both of two belligerents have reached
the point of asking the friendly interference
of neutral, peace is already fOregone con-
clusion, and intervention is only matter
of convenience. At present we believe
that the interpostiOn of a disinterestol
nation like the United States, of who's
motives there could be no suspicion on either
side, would relieve both France and Prussia
of considerable embarrassment, and lead to a
speedy cessation of the war; Prussia cannot
very well make peace while France insists
upon war, and the Provisional Government of
France dares not propose terms of surrender
while the people threaten destruction to any
Frenchman who hints at yielding.
Nevertheless we believe the war is nearly at
an end. The master-spirits of the present
Government at Paris are men who publicly
acknowledged, only little while ago, the in
ability OF their country to contend with Prus-
sia; and if the dignity of Office has given
them any new light, it must have shown still
more clearly than before the futilty of further
resistance. While they ostensibly strain every
nerve Tor the defense of Paris and the levy of new
troops, they are casting about in all directions
for mediation, and apparently pinning their
best hopes upon the conclusion of An armis-
tice. Nor have we yet seen any good reason
to doubt that the Prussians will meet in a be.
coming spirit the advances which must soon
be made in the behalf of the French. Tbore
ia no confirmation of the report that King
William has resolved to restore Napoleon to
the thrVle, lie is indeed bgoted absolutist;

faith" toward one who had solicited no sup
port from him and to whom he had promised
none. Mr.. Greeley was heartily supported by
Senator Fenton from first to last, though the
latter had promised nothing and been asked
to do nothing in that regard.
The TTmes's charge that Senator Fenton "pur-
sues his warfare with his brother Senator"
&C., has no foundation in any act done or word
uttered by Gov. Fenton at Saratoga. He was
there as aregularly chosen delegate and hevoted
ON every occasion as he Judged best for Republic
cansm and most satisfactory to his cOnstitu-
ents. There was no occasion for The Times's
attack upon him, and no good can result from
the utterance of such groundless imputations.

The State canvass in Florida has opened
with a degree of virulcnce before unequaled.
The success of the opposition in North Caro-
lima has emboldened the enemies of repub-
lican government in Florida, and the old office
holders are determined to seize the reins of
power.
A LieutenantGOvenOr, member of Con-
gress, Legislative Assembly, and half the State
Senate, are to be elected on the first Tuesday
of November. The Republicans have nOmi-
mated Dr. Samuel Z. Day, Southern lOyalist,
for Lieutenant-GOvernOr and Gen. Josiah I.
Walls, colored man, formerly of West Yer
ginia, for Congress- The Democrats have
nominated w. ID. Bloxam for Lieutenant-GOv-
ernOr, and S. L. Niblack for Congress.
Ex-Gov. Walker leads the Democracy, and
opens with letter, stating that while Gov
ernor he "never stole anything" and is there
fore poor And he charges upon Gov. Reed all
the crimes in the calendar. He is assisted by
Capt. Dyke Editor of The F'Oridian (whO COM
manded a Rebel battery at Andersonvile dur
ing the war, to assist the infamous Writ to
hold our soldiers while they starved and per-
ished from exposure to every extreme OF heat
and cold thirst, and pouring rain.
They charge that the new Government Is
fraud and usuTpatiOn, and propose to elect a
Legislature to impeach Gov. Reed and take
possession of the Government. They propagate
the most extravagant falsehOOds, and send
emissa1ies to New-York to seek to ruin the
credit of the State by false statements of its
financial condition.
In a speech delivered at Lake City last
week, Gov Reed showed up these men In
their true light Gov. Walker turned over the
Government to Gov. Reed, and in neat little
speech gave in his adhesion and support. a
little later, he asked to be placed upon the
Supreme Bench Gov. Reed refused and then
Walker denounced him as a usurper, and the
Government tyranny to which he would not
submit.
Capt. Dyke presented enormous printing
bils-charging thousands when he was entitled
to less than hundreds-and the Governor re-
fused to sanction them. In one case, when he
was entitled to SCI, he brought in bill of
$1,000. In another, when the legitimate charge
was $50, he demanded S2,113. The Governor
would not countenance such swindles, and the
baflled peculator raises the cry of sWindlern
of course.
Gov. Reed showed, too, that the entire Pub
lie Debt for which the new Government has
issued bonds was created by the old Govern
ment and also showed that near SS00,000 re-
ceived by the old Government for lands had
never been accounted for, and that no settle
ment could be obtained. Gov. Walker had
been Register of the State Land Office previ-
Gus to being Governor, but, of course, he
"never stole anything" though 100000 had
been absorbed somewhere Not dollar was
found in the Treasury when the Republican
Government came into power; not a dollar of
over $SOO,O0O received from the sales of lands
could be found; and the only accounts were
the scattered entries of lands in the books and
maps Of the Land Office!
New-York tribune., 1870-09-13

Just before the downfall Of the Imperialist
Government in Paris, the Republican Gam
beta said wittily of the Minister of War:
Certainly Palikao is to be trusted, for he is
"a traitor The Imperialist Government fell,
and Palikao fell with it, But instead of flying
from the country, he remained in Paris, and
the new Government appointed him to the
command of the army of Lyons. Would it
not be well for Gambetta, who knows Palikao
so well and described him so neatly, to keep
an eye upon him 2-for. judging by his past
career we should think him quite as likely TO
play false to the Republic AS traitor to the
Empire.

We publish in full on the second page an
address by the celebrated correspondent of
The Pail Nell Gazette, who is known as
Azamat- Batuk. The lecture is in part descrip-
tive of the opening scenes of the war, but its
chief purpose is to contrast the two armies
then contending in France. One of them no
longer exists, and the other marches through
the country of its enemy unopposed. The
lecture to which we refer explains in showing
the great weakness of the French and the
superiority of the German organization, why
this great result has been so suddenly reached
There is much to be learned from 1t OF the
plans of the rival commanders and the organi-
zation of the cOntending armies.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-13

No more cheering sign of the future of the
French Republic has been exhibited than the
good sense which has marked most of the acts
of the Provisional Government. Chiefly Sc
lected from the extreme Left, and borne into
Office on the shoulders of the mob, it would
not have been surprising if some of their ear
lier measures had shown traces of the violence
of period of transition. They made a grave
mistake recently, but they have already cor
rectcd it. They followed in the footsteps of
their predecessors in repeating the blunder of
Palikao's short-lived Cabinet; as that
proposed to go TO Bruges when
the Prussians came to Paris, so the
new Government proposed to go to Tours.
But now it is stated that, having reconsidered
the matter, the Provisional Government will
remain in Paris. That is their place. No
where else can France be governed Nothing
could he more absurd than to repeat an ex-
pertinent by which every Government of
France that has ever attempted it has been
ruined. With twelve hours absence their
Government, and perhaps the French Repub-
lie with it, would be overthrown. But, re-
naming at their post, ready to meet the ext
gencies of the great occasion, and bearing the
peace-ofierings of the people in their hands,
they may spare their country further bloodshed
and effect an honorable treaty with the con-
querors, worthy alike of the newborn Repub-
lie and the foes of the Empire.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-13

The Election in Maine, yesterday, resulted
in substantial Republican triumph. We
have returns of the vote for Governor from
11O towns nearly one-half of the State, which
give a majority of 5000 for SIDNEY PERHAM,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
against 4,942 majority for Chamberlain, last
year.
We judge that he is elected by five to seven
thousand majority, though the voting has
been so eccentric that it may be hazardous to
attempt a close calculation as to the ma
iority. The Legislature is largely Republican ;
though the Democrats may have gained a
few members of the House, and possi-
bly, one or two Senators. The people
seem to have been voting mainly
for U. S. Senator-the contest being between
Gov. Chamberlain and the Hon. Lot NJ Nor
rill. How that question stands it is quite i'm
possible to say at present, though our Portland
correspondent says that Morrill, has the Senate.
All five of our candidates for Congress are
elected, the only serious contest being against
Mr.. LYNCH in the Ist District who is re-
elected by about 1900 majority. The follow
ing is the complete ticket chosen-an Repub-
hcans, of course:
