DEATH OF MR.. PFEIFFER.

Mr.. Peter Pfeiffer, we'll known as one
of the former proprietors of the German
Gazette, died on the evening of the six
tenth instant, at his farm, on Halls
Bayou, near Houston, Texas.
The Picay.ne gives the following lead
ing incidents of his life:
We were intimately acquainted with the
deceased, and as far as we can recOllect
will give the outlines of his life. Mr.. Pfeif
fer was born at the town of Michelstadt, III
Hesse Darmstadt. near the Bayarian from
tier and came to this country at quite an
early age. He was printer by profession.
and the first office in which he was employed
in this country was the German COrTespOn
dent in Baltimore. Afterward he came to
New Orleans and became associated with
Mr. HasSinger, in the publication Of the
German, Gazette. About the year 1864, lie
went TO Nicaragua to organize colony
but returned about a year afterward, hav-
ing been unsuccessful. A little over a year
ago. Mr.. Pfeitfer left with his family foI
Houston. where his Oldest son became assO
ciated with German newspaper. Mr.
Pfeitfer died in the prime of life, having
only reached the age of forty-siX years. His
funeral took place from the residence OF Mr..
F. Kredell, at Houston.
Mr. Pfeitfer leaves wife and five children
three sons and two daughters) TO mourn
his early demise. We tender them our
heartfelt sympathies.

comes - On Saturday. 1t is the custom
here to have as many injunctions as It'll
giants choose to ask for, and it is
from no fault Of the judges that they are
frequently wrongfully obtained.
In the present controversy there are
injunctions on both sides. One restraints
the company from laying their track on
st. Joseph street, and it is this mandate
which has recently been revived. Another,
signed by Judge Dibble on the eighteenth
instant, and based probably upon the act
of March 81, which We published yester-
day morning, commands the persons
therein named, and who are plaintiffs in
the first named case, from interfering IN
any manner with the directors Of the
company, in case they begin the work OF
laying down their track on st. Joseph
street. So that it may turn out that the
plaintiffs in the case set for Saturday, will
find themselves to be the parties guilty OF
contempt, and be put on their purgation
accordingly. We have every reason to
believe that Judge Emerson will be able
to take up the tangled threads and apply
to the case the principles of law and
iustice.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-07-22
THE SITUATION.

No longer any doubt. There is war,
although the first blow is yet to be struck.
The news Of the battle at Forbach turns
out to be without foundation. We shall
probably have many more of the same
kind of reports, which will all require
confirmation before they can be unquali-
fiedly accepted. The London Times tele-
gram from Prussian source, stating that
the Germans on the frontier ''were quiet,
anxious and resolute, and the French
drinking, staggering and spelling for a
fight evidently belongs to this class Of
unreliable news. A great deal Of chat
will have to be winnowed in every in
stance before we get at the wheat.
French troops appear to be concern
trating about Metz and Thionville, French
towns near the frontier and a short dis
lance south of Luxembourg. Although
the first collision may not occur at Luxem-
burg, it can not fail to become one Of the

it will be recollected, some two or three
years ago was secretly offered by
the King of the Netherlands to
whom it belongs, to the Emperor of
France, for a certain sum in cash, the
King being in his usual chronic condition
of hard-up, but before the terms were
concluded the alert Bismarck discovered
what was going on, and stopped the sale,
to the disgust Of the Emperor and the
King. Thereupon treaty was drawn up,
in which it was stipulated that this fortress
should be dismantled by Dutch troops, by
whom it was occupied. This was never
done, and the fortress at this day is as
strong and we'll fortified as ever. Both
armies will naturally make extraordinary
efforts to gain possession of this strong
hold, but neither can do SO without vio-
lating Dutch neutrality. 1t will not be
long, however, before one or both will do
this, as no strong power stands behind
Holland to enforce treaty stipulations.
Prussian troops are said to be concen-
trating about Mayence, and it is likely
that the first blow will be struck some
where between this point and Metz.
