Cable dispatch from the Herald, Lon
don, Nov. l.: The negotiations for an
armistice have probably failed. Burn
sides mission was to offer France, on
the part of the King of Prussia, semi
armistice of thirty days or longer, dur
ing the first fifteen days of which Off
Gals would be allowed to pass freely
between Paris and Tours, and the de-
partments to arrange the preliminaries
of election. AS soon as these were
complete there was to be an armistice of
forty-eight hours all over France, to adj
nit of perfectly free election. Then

mistice of fifteen days or longer, to en-
able delegates elected to proceed to
Paris and deliberate upon the terms of
Peace.
Tours, Nov. 2.-The following advi-
ces from Paris, Oct. %: Election says
Prussian guns are before the city, and
Paris may be bombarded at any mo-
ment. Rumor of the capitulation of
Bazaine was circulated in Paris the 9th,
| and created intense agitation. The LIE
Combat newspaper has charged the gov
eminent with knowing the fact and
Withholding it from the public. The
citizens became incensed and destroyed
all copies of the LIE Combat journal, and
published an indignant denial, the gov
eminent not deeming it possible that
Bazaine could betray his trust. All adj
vices from Paris conclude with the state
ment that the utmost determination pre-
vailed, and that defense would certainly
be obstinate and prolonged.
The Empress Eugene arrived at Will
helmhohe at noon Sunday. The EN-
press left Shizlehurst without the
| knowledge of the public, and her abb
sence was not known till she arrived at
Wilhelmhohe. She had safe escort
from the King of Prussia, and it is be-
l1eVed some grand plot is on foot for
| the restoration of the Bonapartes. The
Germans are tired of the war and wish
| to make peace with some government.
This the republic declines, and refuses
| the proposed armistice of thirty days,
| or even for twenty-four hours.
New YORK, Nov. 2.-There was an
immense concourse in the United States
court room this morning awaiting the
decision of Judge Woodruff and Batch
ford in the point presented yesterday
by HonghtOn & Curtis, involving the
constitutionality of the new election
law. Judge Woodruff gave the decis-
ion of the court that the law was con-
| stitutional. He said that the reflection
| of the court led them to the opinion
that the act of Congress of May l, 1870,
| in relation to the election is no infringe
ment upon the rights of voters, and
does not embody any attempt to pre-
scribe to the State of New York or to
| any other State the conditions of right
of suffrage. The views of the court
upon the point were sustained by the
second section of the constitution of the
United States. Section of the Consti-
tuition also sustafns these views. It
| prescribes that elections shall be con-
trolled by the legislature, but that Con-
gress shall exercise a supervising pow
| Ell and that the section does not conflict
with the act OE Nav 1870
Horace Greeley, in card to the cleo
tors of the sixth district, to be publish
ed in the Tribune tomorrow, accepts
| the nomination for Congress, because it
has not been found practicable to unite
on any one else. Infirm health pre-
cludes his going among the people to
solicit their suffrage, and he will make
no novel professions or pledges, but
will, if elected, represent his constitu-
ents to the best of his ability.
NEW York, Noy. 2.-Private letters
from Narragansett, Rhode Island, in
stead of giving hopes of Chief Justice
Chase's recovery, speak very despond-
emily of his health. The opinion of his
Relatives is represented to be that he is
in very dangerous state, and will new
err be able to resume his place on the
Supreme bench. His death at almost
any time would not be a surprise.
JAS. Fisk, Jr., is reported to have in
stituted proceedings against the Times

NORFOLK, November 2.-Large crowds
of whites and blacks collected before

Pratt, member of Congress from this
district and the candidate for re-elec-
ton, Ex-Gov. Wells, of Virginia, Prof.
Langston, (colored) of Howard Uni
versity, Washington, and others. After
Gov. Wells and Secretary Robson had
addressed the crowd, and while Prof.
Langston was speaking, the meeting
was interrupted by disturbance in the
crewd, which soon increased in violence
and extent until firearms were freely
used. AT the commencement of the
firing the crowd broke, scattering in
every direction. The police attempted
to quell the disturbance, but owing to
the small force were unable to accom-
plish much. After the crowd was dis
