False Report.

Me. EDIToR:-There is false report
going the rounds in certain neighbOr-
hood against one of our neighbors, that
i think should be corrected and branded
through your paper as false and mali
cious in its character.
Ihave reference to a report in circula-
ton mot in this neighborhood, but in the
hills of Marshall) that Rev. J. H. Nor
ton was implicated as having something
to do in the corn stealing that was car
ried on in this neighborhood last Spring
Report out of our section says that had
implicated his guilt and that he was pub
lished in your paper. Now, Mr.. Editor,
we saw all that was published i'm the
HERALD. The paper stated that clam
ton Hardison had lost some dogs that
"a great deal of corn stealing was going
on in this neighborhood;' that ga GER
tain night Mr.. Morton and myself were
on the watch to see if we could get clue
to the rogues, and while 1 was watching
my neighbours crib, the rogucs stole my
corn Mr.. Editor, think one of three
things is evident: LIST, some fool has read
the piece referred to, and could not I'M
derstand what he was reading, or this
report has been circulated by personal
enemy to injure the character of our
friend and neighbor, or the cause he rep
resentS. l hesitate not to brand this ma
licious affair as a lie, designed by wicked
men to thwart the influence he has as a
preacher of the gospel There is not
man in this neighborhood that is not
willing to pronounce this wicked affair
Hbelous and false A. J. HUEY.

TIE YACHT RACES AT NEWPORT. There
was fine contest yesterday around the
Brenton's Reef lightship course, off Newport,
Tor, the Vice Commodores Cup. 1t was won
in excellent time by the Palmer, the Cambria
coming in second aud winning the second
prize, subscription cup. The Sappho was
well ahead at the decisive hour of the race,
but unfortunately carried away her maintop-
mast and tore her mainsail, else she would
certainly have won the first cup. One feature
bf the race was the lack of any allowance for
Size, and the excelleaces Of the new arrange
hent are seen partially in the close contest.

HE Cambria would have been adjudged the
kinner.

STRAsBoURG HOLDS ON.-Thrcngh the time
that so many crushing blows have been given
to French armies In the field; while Bazaine
has been so crippled that he is not heard
from and MacMahon annihilated; and while
the empire has gone down and the republic
arisen, gallant General Ulrich has kept the
Prussians out Of Strasbourg, and that strong
city of the frontier is not only still unsubdued,
but is still able to severely punish her foe. All
this, alas will only compel the Prussians to
remember her more especially in the settle
ment, and her very strength, as thus exhib-
ited. will make them the more resolute. It
will be one of tho painful paradoxes of history
If Strasbourg shall hold out while the war
lasts and have to 40 over at the end OF 1t.
The New York herald., 1870-09-09


Among the many questions to which the
wonderful success Of Prussian arms has given
birth not the least important Is that which re-
lates to the balance Of power. II Prussia
maintains her position, and we know no good
reason to doubt that she will, the old equili-
brium which the diplomatists of the past deemed
of 80 much Importance will be seriously dis
turbed. A united Germany inspired and made
active by Prussian ambition will be far more
than a match for France. No single Power on
the Continent will be able to measure swords
with her. Even Great Britain must be con.
tented to take an inferior place. Say what
men may to the contrary, Germany has become
the mightest military Power in Europe,
mightier than any one Power has been since
the days of the first Napoleon. The only
potent rival which she will have will be Rus
sia. For the present, it is not to be denied,
Prussia is much more than match for Russia.
Henoef0rth nothing but an armed coalition can
prevent Prussia from doing as she will with
each of the nations in detail. Under tie
former arrangement the checks and balances

ing position It remains to be seen how the
different governments of Europe will act in
the circumstances Prussia has now humbled,
almost ruined, Austria. She has just now
dealt a heavy blow to Franco blow from
which it will take France long time to re-
cover. Prussia's greatest rival now Is Russia,
and it will not be wonderful If the two great
Northern Powers have trial of skill and
strength on an early day. Meanwhile the old
balance of power which was created in 1915,
which was disturbed in 1859, which was
shaken in 1866, is dead in 1870

Americnn Recognition Of tho French RI
public.

American Recognition Of tho French Re-
public.
The prompt and decisive manner in which
General Grant, as President OF the United
States. has instructed our Minister at Paris to
duly recognize the new provisional government
of France is an additional claim to the appro-
baton of the American people. Moreover, it
is but proper acknowledgment of the en-
thusiastic feeling with which our flag has been
hailed by the people of Paris in the moment
of their great transition, and the promptitude
of Jules Favre to inform our Executive of the
great event. At the same time it is just re-
buke to the petty renegades who, nurtured and
fed under republic can forms and by republican
federation, lose no opportunity to sneer at
similar institutions when established by any
other people.
sThat banner Of stars," said the venerable
crater and writer Victor Hugo at the ovation
| offered him In the French capital on Wednes-
day last-s'that banner Of stars" he said,
pointing to tho American flag, ''speaks to-day
| to Paris and to France, proc]aiming the mira
cles of power which are easy to great people
contending for great principle-the liberty
| Of every race, the fraternity of ALL And,
let us add, France needs now but fair chance
to shape her own destiny without interference
by reactionary intrigues, at home or abroad,
! in order to show the world that the republican
form Of government is for her, as
for us, the only true and stable one.
Her provisional government has been COM
bined without one single act Of violence,
aud its preliminary acts, 80 far as internal
management is concerned, are marked with
moderation and wisdom. Even the yelping
ours of monarchical conspiracy are abashed
and silent at Paris, aud the chief Of the Pro-
visional Ministry there receives with pro-
found gratitude and emotion the intelligence
that the great republic Of the West holds forth
her hand cordially and unreservedly to her
young sister In the East. This promptitude is
enc of the best American characteristics Of q
most timely and worthy American act The
mutual memories of 1776 are thereby fully
revived and warmed to fraternal heat again

THE LITTLE SHIP RAGUsA, which is only a
little over two tons burden, has just reached
Boston from Queenstown after an eighty days
voyage. While we highly commend the ocean
racht races which have recently distinguished
he annals of yachting as healthy and en-
nobling sport, we cannot but seriously depre-
,aie the rash and foolhardy bravado that
prompts such dangerous enterprises as this
that has just been achieved by the crew of
such little cockleshel).

The sentiment of the whole community re-
coils from the daily exhibit made by our
criminal records of murder by the knife and
pistol. The mania for this kind of crime ap-
pears to grow stronger in the city. Judging
from the police reports every morning we
seem to breathe the very air of murder. In
the domestic circle, In dens of drunkenness
and vice, in the open streets murder runs riot.
If we were to enumerate the number Of homi-
cides which have occurred within even one
week 1t would be appalling. They average at
least two cases of . notorious and brutal
character in every twenty-four hours. These
cases Of reckless or deliberate taking of human
life present variety of phases. Vengeance,
jealousy, ungoverned momentary passion are
the direct causes, but the indirect causes can
be traced, in nine cases out Of ton, to drunk
enness, produced by the use Of certain terrible
poisons, vended under numerous seductive
names. That more murderous and drunken
ARRAYS occur between Saturday midnight and
Monday morning is proof positive that they
have their origin In the ginshop; and yet these
places are supposed to be shut up during that
interval. The police are expected to see that
these dens are kept closed. How far they per-
form their duty in this respect the sergeant's
book at the different station houses on Monday
morning can best testify. We do not blame
the police. Perhaps they do their best to en-
force the law; but the fact is that certain
classes of the community are 80 utterly de-
moralized eaat tho open defiance of all law has
become tho rule with them.
The City Judge spoke wisely in his charge
to tho Grand Jury on Wednesday, when he
directed their especial attention to the fire.
quency of crimes by the knife and pistol, and
to the desperate condition of reckless disre-
gard for law into which large classes Of
society have fallen. Judge Bedford urged that
the time had come when the authorities should
make the desperadoes feel that retribution was
surely awaiting their crimes While calling
upon the Grand Jury to present indictments in
oil cases where charge Of murder has been
made clear to them, he promised for the Dis
trict Attorney and the courts that every aid
should be given to stem the torrent of crime.
We trust that it will turn out so, for the city
has become Of late the very hotbed of murder.

The way France has been swindled in regard
to her armies will naturally remind the
thoughtful reader Of the way things are done
in this metropolis and as we are naturally
supposed to be at the head of the progressive
spirit of the age 1t is something for France
to be up to us. 1t very frequently happened
in our old Street Department that there was q
striking discrepancy between the men of which
one foreman had charge in the street and the
men with which he was accredited on the pay
rolls. The rolls would say, perhaps, that he
had fifty men, and on pay day the
money would issue for the payment of
fifty men; but in fact the foreman would
only have twenty, though no one over heard
that the superiiuous pay for thirty men was
returned. BY this excellent system the streets
were kept in tolerable order and some amiable
men got rich. 1t now appears that the same
happily conceived system has 1ourshed in
France and has not strengthened the imperial
army. Pay there was issued for nearly five
hundred thousand men, and the country de-
voutly believed it had that many soldiers, but
pay was drawn for hundred thousand men
more than were in the army. Somebody got
rich, no doubt, but France has fallen.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division Of the opposing forces o
France and Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal capitals--London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
of an important news character escapes our
vigilant representatives.
Our news agencies In the principal cities Of
Europe, and our system Of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
tho readers of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon
the war, or that our opinions upon the proba-
ble success Of either belligerent In contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is to give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record of facts as they occur in the grand
operations Of the contending armies.

The New York herald., 1870-09-09

Marshal MacMahoa, Duke of Magenta, was
mortally wounded at his final defeat near
Sedan, as commander of the Third army corps
in the present war. He was descendant of
an old princely Celtic family, which, after risk
ing and losing all in the cause of the Stuarts,
brought from Ireland to France their historic
name and ancestral qualities, and intermarred
with the ancient nobility of their adopted
country A French Marshals baton was never
bestowed upon Drawer or more skinul
soldier All are familiar with the deeds of his
heroic life, which has now been crowned by as
heroic death. Struggling against fearful
odds, sustaining the courage of his decimated
troops, he fell, terribly wounded, with his face
to the foe. If for brief time the currents of
his life blood continued to flow, it was not
only that he might display against lingering
torments the same undaunted courage which
had distinguished him in the shock of battle,
but also that in lucid intervals he might enjoy
the proud satisfaction of feeling that his
would be the death of hero. There has
been no more memorable illustration than
this of the noble old Roman adage-D0Ics et
decorum est pro pasria msors.
A LITTLE SIGN.--At Newcastle-on-Tyne,
England, large meeting was held on Wednes-
day night, to declare sympathy with France in
her struggle against Prussia. 1t gives
glimpse of the conditions Of the English social
fabric that the other day the English aris-
tocracy were in sympathy with the empire
more than with Prussia because there was less
freedom in it, and now the people sympathize
more with the republic than with Germany
because there Is more freedom In II.
WILL PARIS BE BoMBARDED ?-The proba-
bilities are in favor of peace with the advance
of the Prussians to the Notifications of the
city, if not before. As after it's great victory
of Sadowa the Prussian army, heading for
| Vienna, was arrested and turned back by q
treaty of peace, so it is expected that the
present unopposed advance of the Prussians
upon Paris after Sedan will be checked by
negotiations and treaty Of peace in time to
save the city from the horrors of siege. AS
the enemy approaches the friends of peace

II Is not so much the republic as party that
Is ungrateful. Behold the grand example Of
this In the fate Of Greeley, slaughtered in the
home Of his friends-thrust aside for candi-
date whose name had not been heard up to the
date of Greeley's greatest achievements on
behalf Of his party. Without Greeley what
would the republican party have been? 1t
could never have claimed the exclusive pos
session of all the virtues, all the love for free
dom, all the regard for the rights of men and
all the political morality. This claim on Its
behalf was always made by Greeley, and this
sublime piece Of impudence no doubt did it
great service. 1t could not honestly claim to
be tho party of protection )" Greeley's asso-
ciation with 1t gave it that advantage. 1t
would never have been more than half as ridi-
culous in its history as it has been but for the
astounding vagaries and antics done In its
name BY the great philosopher. And now, as
. reward for all his services, he is whistled
down tho wind, and the place that was his has
been given to q man whose name, fame and
position in bis party are of such rapid growth
as to suggest that there is in them something
of the mushroom order.
