CHALONS.
The Marine and Meuse Rivers

1t is believed that the next great bat
tic Of the Franco Prussian war will be
fought on the vast plain that surrounds
the ancient city of Chalons, which con-
tains about third more inhabitants than
the city Of Madison. 1t is situated 107
miles east of Paris, on the river Marine.
1t was an important place when the Ro-
mans invaded Gaul, and was known as
Duro Colalaunum. The Emperor Azure
liam, in the year 274, defeated his COM
petitor Tetricus here. In this vicinity
was fought, in 45l, great battle. in
which the Romans under Aetius, the,
Visgoths, the Franks and Burgundians
united to oppose Attilla, King of the
Huns, and the Asiatic invader was check
ed here. The crumbling moneds of the
great, irregular, intrenched camp Of At
tilla still remain. Jornandes says that
the blood that day shed literally ran in
riyulets, and that the wounded "quench-
cd their thirst in the horrible tide"
During the middle ages Chalons num-
bered 10000. In the 10th century,
during the civil wars, the bulls of excom-
munication hurled against Henry ",
by Pores Gregory XIV, and Clement
VIII, were burned here.
Chalons is now the seat of bishopric
beside college, it contains several learn
ed institutions, the most important of
Of which is the school of arts and trades
where $50 pupils are maintained at the
expense Of the Government. There are
factories, Of coarse WOODEN stuff and cot
ton hosiery.
The river Marine is about $50 miles
long. It empties into the Seine near
Paris. 1t is navigable to ST. Dizier,
above Chalons, and about 2l0 miles from
its mouth. 1t is connected with the
Rhine and Aisne by canals.
The Meuse river, called by the an
clients Hasa, by the Dutch Mas, is be-
tween Metz and Chalons. This river is
$50 miles in length. Running through
France, Belgium and Holland, it empties
into the German ocean. The chief cities
on its banks are Verdun, Sedan and
Charemont, in France; Namur and
Liege in Belgium; Maestricht, Willem-
stadt and Rotterdam, in Holland. 1t is
navigable to Verdun, $50 miles from the
ea.-EG.

LIMERICK, Aug. 2O.-An immense
mob of symra.hizers with the French
cause paraded the streets of Limerick
last night, and organized demonstration
to celebrate the victory reported to have
been achieved by the French near Metz
Great Lon6res of tar barrels and other
inhammable substances were lit in various
parts of the city. Many Of the nartici
pants in the procession carried lighted
brands and On supports were also trans
ported blazing tar barrels, when the po-
lice demanded that the procession should
disband, and that the fires should be ex-
tinguishe6. The mob refused to accede
to either demand. and the police charged
the mass and seized the ringleaders. A
desperate struggle ensued. The mob
made determined rush On the consta-
b,es. who stood their ground. and beat
off their assaiants, who were completely
worsted and put to flight. Many persons
were seriously injured with bludgeons,
stones, and other missiles. The police
were reinforced, and succeeded in max
ing many arrests.

ago, was repaired yesterday.

IMMIGRATION is already said to BIZ

IMMIGRATION is already said to be
seriously inter- upted by the European
war, and it is feared by many that should
the war continue the number of immi-
grants landing on our shores during the
next season will be smaller than for
many years. We must, however, re-
member, that the disordered condition
necessarily produced by war, will cause a
very much larger flow of emigration
from the German countries Immediately
after the war War produces an abnormal
condition of affairs in any state, and a
lengthy European war must be succeed
cd by a heavy emigration to the United
States.

King William Of Prussia.

In 1861, the present King of Prussia
assembled the throne under the title of
William l. He was a younger son of
Frederick William I'LL, and succee ded
the former King, his brother, when the
latter's mind gave way. King William
was born in March, 1877, and has there
fore attained an age at which men gener-
ally seek to avoid participation in actual
war; but he is of a soldielly nature, and
the cable dispatches inform us that he
recently left his capital city, Berlin, for
the front amid the widest enthusiasm of
his devoted subjects.
The Graphic, says in its notice of
him:
William l., of Prussia, under whom
Germany has for the first time caught a
glimpse of the much desired unifcation,
seems admirably fitted for the duties
which such charge lay upon him. With
a reputation for straightforward honesty,
and certain hearty bluifness of manner,
blessed with common nse, if not bril-,
liant genius, a tenacity of purpose, and
the military instincts of his race. he finds
his fitting place as ruler of the great Ger
man nation, which, notwithstanding the
proverbial mystifcation we are accustom-
ed to attribute to the German mind, is
an eminently practical one. The King is
not the man to plan great changes-tbat
is left to other and subtler minds but as
the representative monarch and the doer
of deeds, not the thinker Of thong hts, the
movement of German nationality could
have had Nc better leader"

financial measures, intended to tighten
the public burdens, received little coun-
tenance and support from the Democrat
;c party, whose responsibilities for the
war, its losses, its expenditures, Its DEBTS
ane. its taxation, are so fearfully large.
Not faultless, but high, noble and glo-
rions is the record Of the Republican
party. History will note it, and the
world will gratefully remember it. In
the light of this brief review of the
achievements for patriotism, liberty, jus
tice and humanity, should not Repubil-
cans, one and all, cling to their grand or
ganization, rectify its mistakes, correct
its errors, and keep it true to its past
traditions, and in harmony with the en-
lightened and progressive spirit of the
age? Sc doing may they not perpetuate
their power until. the beni6cent princi-
Piles shall become the accepted policy OF
the nation

WELL ANsWERED.-The fact that
President Grant leaves WASHINGTON dur
ing the hot summer months and takes to
the sea side troubles our Democratic
friends very much. They seem to be I'M
pressed with the idea that for the Presi-
dent to step outside Of Washington is
crime for which, in their estimation, he
ought to be impeached and deposed from
Office. The Albany argus in an article
abusing the President for going to Long
Branch, reaches the climax Of its indig-
nation by asking ''Where is the Govern
ment ?'-and the Journal kindly answers
its question in the following terms:
THE government is where the revenue
is being more honestly collected, so that
the receipts have increased $5l 600, coo
since President Grant Inauguration. 1t
is where the expenditures are being di-
minished, SO that the estimates are de-
creased $3I 900, 900 for the coming year.
1t is where the taxes have been reduced
so that SIC, 900, 900 are taken from the
burdens Of the people by single act It
is where $l5S. 600, coo, in the aggregate,
are thus saved 10 the people in honest
collections, retrcnched expenditures and
reduced taxes. Il is where Sl46, 600, 600
are paid on the principal OF the debt
within sixteen months, SO that the load
of the future is made lighter and the
present weight of interest is diminished.
The people see these acts, and they re-
cognize the government in them. They
know it is where these great things are
being done. They perceive It's hand in
all. And if, after performing his impor-
tant part in the work, President Grant
chooses to get out Of the hot and I'M
healthy atmosphere of Washington for a
little rest at Long Branch, they heartily
commend the good sense he thus displays. !"

LOUIS NAPOLEON.

Geographically, morally and, accord
ing to late reports, even physically dead,
the question arises, what is to become of
France. To inaugurate and sustain itself
as republic, her people are too igno-
rant for the successful continuance of
the present dynasty, Napoleon has made
it too despicable himself for even the
people OF France, so there remains in our
opinion 10 alternative but to establish a
constitutional monarchy with the Count
Of Paris at its head, who seems to have
the best claim to the throne, being the
grand son of the last King of the French
Louis Philippe, and the representative
of the house of Orleans-Valois.
The Chicago Tribune says on this sub,
iect The candidacy of the Count of
Paris would represent constitutional
monarchy, freedom Of the press, religious
tolerance, a reduction Of the French
and naval establishments. and,
in short, less bloodshed and glory, and
less of French arrogance and dictation
among the nations of Europe than the
Napoleonic regime l. is be feared that,
for each and all these reasons, it would
excite no enthusiasm, if. indeed, it
found much favor among the French
people. OF course all these expectations
may be reversed by the actual policies
and character Of the Count of Paris,
should he be crowned Louis Philippe II.
Yet, if he were crowned in conjunction
with the adoption Of written constitu-
tion securing supremacy over the Execu-
tive to the French Legislature, his gov
eminent would, at least, have the SYM
pathy Of all free countries, and especially
of all republicans.

there committed an outrage on her, conmu.
nicating to her o loathsome disease. The
