THE SIEGE OF PARIS.

The Siege of Paris will date in history from
September IS. Just two months after the
declaration of war, precisely six weeks after
the opening of the campaign the Prussians
are before the walls of Paris in force enough
to take it.
On the north the advancing Prussians had
reached, at our latest advices, the City of
Creil, % miles from Paris, where the French
burned bridge over the Disc to retard their
forward movement. On the south, at COrbeil,
18 miles from the Capital, the French
had destroyed another bridge, doubtless with
the same design. On the east, the Forest
of BOndy, under the very guns of the fortifi-
cations, has been burned-less, of course, to
obstruct the enemy than to give full play to
the fire of the French forts. From Creil on
the north to Corbeil on the south, the Ger
man lines ere this doubtless stretch crescent,
like around the eastern side of the French
Capital When the extremes of this crescent,
like that of Sedan, shall have been extended,
and the line contracted into a strong circle
about the city, its fate will not long remain
in doubt. In spite of the great strength of
its Notifications, Paris will fall of its own
weight-because of the impossbility of sup
plying the two millions vi inhabitants VINO
remain within its walls.
Already six of the railways which supply
the city are in the hands of the Prussians
Others are threatened by the cavalry, and are
imperative in consequence. Only the main
lines to the west are available for flight or re-
enforcement. The roads to the east are, of
course, in possession of the Prussians, and
their cavalry, by few raids from the extremes
of the lines held by the infantry, can readily
obstruct those on the south and west Virtually
the gates of Paris are shut, and the siege may
be said to have begun.

T1M.NdNY-TIED.

When this city was honestly and efficiently
served in some departments of its government
by Albany appointees, our ears were filled with
the cries of the Democracy over the usurpa-
ton of municipal rights by the State. No
excellence of administration could atone for
this interference, and Tammany promised the
restoration of local self-goyeTnment to this
city as the first fruits of Republican defeat.
Last Winter the Democrats obtained control
Of the State. Let us see if they have redeemed
their pledges.
There is no doubt whatever that clear
majority of the legal voters of this city are
anxious to effect their release from the exac-
tions and msrule of Tammany. Suppose that,
encouraged by the chance of escape offered
by the National Election law, that majority
should go to the polls this Fall and choose
enemies of the Ring for every Office the people
are permitted to fill. The consequence under
Republican form of government would he q
thorough reformation in the municipal admin
istration; but Mr.. Tweed has taken care that
nothing of the sort shall occur. The TAM
many Charter authorized a Tammany Mayor
10 appoint the heads of the Departments OF
Finance, Police, Public Works, Charities and
Correction, Fire, Health, Public Parks, Build
ings and Docks, for terms of five years, and
no Mayor of the people can remove them.
These Departments possess all the power OF
raising and spending the public money, and
no protest Of the people can avail against the
misuse of this authority. Only by the action
of the State Government, which Tammany has
declared should not be allowed to interfere in
city affairs, can the Ring be shOrn of the inn
mense power which it secured to itself by the
legislation of last Winter, and which it has
used to enrich itself by wholesale robberes OF
the people.
Tammany, protesting to conserve the public
interests, made sure only of It's own. When
the people are asked to vote for the Demo-
cratic candidates at the coming election, let
them remember that by so doing they approve
system of personal government modelled
upon French Imperialism. Let them remem-
Der that Tammany has made it impossible to
rescue the city except by the overthrow OF
Democracy in the State.

We assert that there is no intelligent poll
tician in our City who does not kROw, to a
moral certainty, that there has been no such
increase of population in these lower Wards
Of our City Gall of them below Bleecker-st)
as these returns imply-tbat there has, in fact,
been no increase at all. There was always
quite enough of illegal voting in such Demo
cratic stronghOlds as these are; but where
hundreds were formerly pOlled, thousands
now are, until some districts poll nearly
as many votes as they have inhabit-
ants, and one (at leasD has passed that
boundary. Hence the clamor against the last
State and the present Federal Census; hence
the ten new Election Districts just made by
Mayor Hall in the With Ward, where there
were twice too many already; and hence our
warning to our friends that gigantic frauds
are manifestly meditated for the election be-
fore us. But we have Federal law, Federal
Courts, and Federal force, to aid us, this time,
and shall not hesitate to insist on justice. Let
the criminals beware!

district Of Oneida County, and did NOT repre-
sent Mr.. Greeley, nor pretend to- lie IL
responsible for his acts there to those who
sent him, and not to Mr.. Greeley, who has not
presumed to pass judgment upon those acts.
What wo said was that Mr. Greeley had not
complained of Senator Conkling's course,
having no reason no right, to do so.
As to Senator FentOn, The HmeSs structures
seem TO us exceedingly unjust and injurious.
Mr.. Fenton was outvoted in the preliminary
organization by the aid of men who had pro-
fessed to be his friends. ThencefOrth the Con-
vention was clearly in the hands of those who
feel or affect distrust of his fidelity to the
Federal Administration. Thenceforth he was
simply delegate; and "a such he voted stead
lily and heartily for Mr.. Greeley for Governor,
because he believed Mr.. G.'s nomination the
strongest that could be made. He did not in
tend by this to wage warfare" either upon
his colleague or the President; and we protest
against The T1mes's language as calculated to
disintegrate and defeat the Republican party.
If those who are Mr.. Fenton's friends are to
be eliminated from that party, Gen. Wood
ford's vote will not be nearly so large rs 1T
ought to be and must be. Senator FentOn has
no "warfarer with his colleague, and desires
none. We have often heard him discuss the
differences among Republicans in our State,
but never heard him breathe a syllable, an in
timation, of hostility toward Senator Conkling.
Again we say. "Let us have peace"

THE CENSUS-TTS ASSISTANTS.

II any truth is beyond dispute which Power
is interested in discrediting, then'it is certain
that our City has for years been the arena of
gigantic Election Frauds. Some of these have
worn the old, familiar form of the naturaliza-
ton of immigrants who had no right to be
made citizens; others have been perpetrated
through the issue of bogus naturalization GER
tifcates, regular and legal on their face, but
peddled out to persons who had been but a
few weeks OF months in the country, and
had never entered court or taken
an oath with view 10 acquiring
citizenship. Of these fraudulent certificates
thousands, in addition TO those used IN our
City, were distributed throughout our River
Counties, and used to carry New jersey as well
as this State for Seymour An enormous vote
was polled in 1868, as well as at previous and
subsequent elections, by repeaters'-that is,
persons who travelled in gangs from poll to
poll, each voting at every poll upon assumed
names that had been placed upon the regis
trcs-the persons registered being generally
other than those who claimed the reg
istered names AZ their own on the day
of election. Last and worst: The votes
actually cast have been deliberately mis-
counted and misreturned by the canvaSsers,
who were bribed with money OF places by
greater villains than themselves. By these
nefarious practices, our City was made in 1868
to give 60,J18 majority for Seymour over Grant
and 1880 for Hoffman over GriswOld-each Of
these majorites being ut least double what
was or could have been made up of votes
legally polled and honestly counted. BY means
of these crimes, Gen. Grant was swindled out
of the Electoral Vote of our State. and John
r. Hoffman writes himself her Governor after
having as Mayor done his utmost to facilitate
the crimes 10 which ne owes his election.
The Ninth Federal Census has been taken
this Summer, and is now nearly completed.
This Census must inevitably shed light on the
crimes whereby the vote of our City has so
often been falsitied. Of course the criminals
are impelled to denounce and if possible dis
credit II. They could not face their swindled
fellow-citizens if they did not in some way befog
the official exposure of their crimes. When
the Census shows that they have repeatedly
p0lled more votes in district than the whole
number of men, women, and children living
therein-poled them almost solid for the Demo-
cratic tickets-what can they do but assert
that the Census ia imperfect I

The Nathan tragedy was yesterday officially
added 70 the engmas of murder by verdict
of the Coroner's Jury that the victim came to
his death at the hands of some person or
persons unknown. 1t was apparent from the
first that the inquest could have no other
than this impotent conclusion but this fact is
not reason for the detectives abandoning
the case as hopeless. Accident may i'll time
solve mystery which has been proof against
earnest effort, and the detectives should be
ready 10 seize it when offered. All that is
reouired is that the crime shall not be for
gotten by the officials whose business it is to
discover the peTpetrator.
