FROM the seat of war, the indica-
tons are that France is hopclessly
doomed to disastrous defeat. The
treachery of Bazaine, who is believ-
ed to have surrendered Metz, as a
means of crushing the Republic and
reinstating the Empire, together
with the symptoms of division among
the populace, at various points, and
the apparent inefficiency of the gov
eminent at the Tours-all conspire
to create the belief that France can
not long withstand the Prussian
forces. Treachery, division and cow
nrdicc are producing the results, in
France,..that followed the same carses
i'm the South, five years ago-and the
parallel Is father continued by the
fact that France is now fighting, as
the South fought, for liberty and in
dependence.

STATEN ISLAND, Oct. 2. 1870.

MY DEAR SIR: When Congress ad.
journed in the summer / was crediify
informed that somewhat systematic
effort would be made, before their re-
assembling In the winter, to force a
chance In the policy have pursued
In the interior Department. The re-
moval of the Indian service from the
sphere Of ordinary politiapi patronage
has been specially distasteful to many
Influential gentlemen in both houses,
and in order 20 enable you to carry
your purpose out successfully am
satisfied you ought not to be embar-
rsssed by any other cause of irrita.
ton in the same department.
My views of the necessity of reform
in the civil service have brought the
more or less into collision with the
plans of our active political mana
gers, and my sense of duty has oblig-
ed me to oppose some of their meth
DDS of action through the department.
i have no doubt whatever that public
sentiment will, sooner or later fully
sustain these efforts at what | regard
as needed reforms, but / ought not Ia
overlook the fact that for the present
they involve opposition which it may
not be for the interest of this admin
istration to provoke, and as my per-
sonal tendency is to be rather more
than less persistent i'm which course
| am committed, deem it my duty
to place IN your hands my resignation
OF the Office of Secretary of the In
terror, to take effect as soon as YOU
can conveniently determine my sue
cessOr.
The annual report of the depart
ment will be made at an early day,
and for this and other reasons believe
the interval prior to the adjourned
session of Congress the fittest for such
change. L trust you will permit me
to add that; as the original, acceptance
of the position was an interference
with the plans of life I had formed,
l think return to my private bust
ness, so far from being an inconveni-
ence or n disappointment, will be only
carrying out what have most de-
sired to do as soon as it could be done
without EN- barrassment to you or
sacrifice of public duty. Indications
that you might be already troubled
by suggestions on the subject have in
duced me to write at once without
waiting my return to Washington.
With sincere assurances of my strong
desire for The complete success of your
administration, | remain, truly, your
obedient servant,
Signed J. d. cox,
To the President.

Crazy on Cats.

In the fourth ward of this city lives Ellen Ma.
guire, an lrishwoman, above 60 years of age
Her great forte is cats. Nine years since her
husband died and left her about $50, 900 invested
in tenement-house property, From the income
of this she lives, occupying three rooms and the
roof OF her domicil.
One hight, few weeks after her husband
died, she had dream, IN which she was told
not to drown litter of kittens then in the house,
but to keep them and their progeny till they
numbered 93-The age at which she would die
it she kept the cats all right She was told as
she says, to care for them, and when the number
exceeds 3d. TO decide by lot which of all the cats
and kittens should die. And further, while she
kept the number good, and cared for them, she
need not insure her house nor employ ply.
sician, for her house would not burn nor her
health fail until the appointed time. She has
obeyed the instructions of her dream-her prop
erty has not burned 5aor heI health failed her a
day.
Every cat has its name and comes when
called When She sleeps they all manage to
crawl TO resting place on her bed, and scramble
like children to sleep on or near her pillow so
she can pet them. When comes the time for
one or more of them 10 die. she calls them all to
her room, tells them the cause of their assembly,
mourns with then, and by throwing dice de-
cides which are u live-the lowest numbers
counting agans5 the unfortunate. To be hu-
name, she kills them with chloroform, and has
the victim skinned She talks TO them as if they
were her children, and is only happy when sur
rounded by them And, strange to say, the old
cat that she had when the dream gave her this
work in charge is still alive, and the mother,
grandmother, and great grandmother and so on
without an end, of all the others The old lady
and the old cat are great friends, and look upon
each other as persons Of great Importance
