Special to the New York Herald.I
LONDON, October 26-The correspondent
of the Herald at the headquarters of the
German army, writes on the twentieth:
The Saxons at Autnay, Sevron, Livry, Writ
gallOnt, and other points around the forest
of Bondy, are kept on the alert night and
day.
At Chatenay and Seeaux the Bavarians
are nightly disturbed by shells falling
around them.
The besegers have not yet replied with
single cannon. No secret is made of the
fact that they will not commence till they
have enough of heavy guns in position to
lombard etfectually.
A number of guns have been brought up
by the slow and painful process of being
dragged over the common roads Guns of
larger caiibre can not be moved that way,
but must wait for the removal of obstruc-
tions in the tunnel of Nanteuil and build a
bridge over the Marine at Lagny. The lat
ter work is nearly completed, but the
former is not. When the guns are up, no
one has the slightest doubt of the result.
Still the men are getting impatient of the
delay. and are provoked to sec friends
picked OFF one by one, and not have the
opportunity to make return.
Various reports have been received OF the
strength OF the army at Lyons. 1t Is
not credited here that it amounts to any
Importance, and it is believed it can readily
be destroyed if desirable, but the Germans
are beginning to fall into the grievous error
of despising and undertaking the enemy.
October u, A. Nj was awakened py
the sound of heavy guns, coming from the
direction of st. Cloud. The Germans think
there is nothing wrong, but in the cafes the
French are mysterionsly whispering, and l
gather fragments from their conversation
that they are jubilant over the report that
GaribalG, at the head OF io,OOO men, Is near
at hand. and that tho firing from the forts
is intended to cover an assault on the Seine
bridge, outpost or train.

Communicated
MEETING IN FRANKLIN PARISH.

On the twenty-second instant, the Hon.
John Ray addressed a large and attentive
concourse Of the citizens of Franklin parish,
assembled in the courthouse in Winns-
borough. The house was flll-manv De1h-
ocrats, among whom were the leading men
in the parish, were present. The attend
ance of our colored citizens was unprece-
dented.
While the Democrats had had several
meetings, to which they had been specially
invited. | do not think over twenty ever
attended: but on this occasion they occu-
pied, closely packed, one entire side of the
courthouse and most of the floor on that
side. so solicitous we're they to hear the
speaker.
For about an hour, logically, clearly and
forcibly did the speaker attempt to disabuse
the minds OF the audience of the erroneous
impressions inculcated by Democratic
organs and speakers, as to the acts and
principles of the Republican party, drawing
Illustrations from the legislation of 1861
1866 1867 ard 1868, ana demonstrating, by
facts and figures, that the people of Louis-
ana are indebted to the Democratic, and
not to the Republican party, for the onerous
debt OF the State.
Without attempting to ccntrovert Mr..
RAYS arguments o. deny his facts, DR..
William Z. Rapp. or call Of the Democrats,
answered Mr.. Ray.
The Doctor made a strong appeal to the
interest of the Colored citizens to vote the
Democratic ticket, if they wanted the Demo
Gratis to be their friends; that it was their
interest TO do so.
Now, last Saturday, the fifteenth instant,
a Democrat was heard stating TO a colored
man. "if you vote the Radical ticket, Won
won't get anything 10 do As if capital was
not as much dependent or labor as labor or
capital.
Mr.. Ray made an eloquent reio;ndef
Great God has it come 10 this. that if a
man don't vote 20 please re must be llis
enemy!' Then turning to the colored peo-
pie. he urged them to follow their own iudg-
ment and dictates that he would not be
their enemy if they chose to vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
|. DR.. Rapp disclaimed the idea that he
meart they would be tie enemies of the
colored man if he would rot vote their
ticket.
The meeting was conducted throughout
pleasantly and harmoniously, and on princi-
pies of independent thought and speech, and
| manly. christian courtesy and bearing. So
| NAV it always he.
Things look favorable here to the Repub-
lican cause, though there is a fear on the
| part of the colored citizens to vote the Re-
publican ticket. MEMO.

New YORK. October 26, Evening.-The
feature on Wall street to-day was the specu-
lative manipulation in the money market
for stringency and higher rates of interest.
The movement was directed against the
prices in the gold room and stock exchange!
The result on the prices was slight, though
the rates were advanced for time. The
demand for money was active up to 2:30 P.
rency and gold, with a few exceptional
loans at slight commission, in addition to
seven per cent per annum. After that hour
money was offered more freely, and the
closing transactions were at SIX.

Academy of Music,

Dominick Murray appeared last night as
Ldnty OLeary. in ''Aileen Aroon.' The
play is ultra-sensational, with incidents so
nearly approaching the improbable that the
spectator, like Dickens Aorchioness, when
she made wine OF water and orange peel. is
compelled to make believe good deal in
order to sympathize with the progress of tie
plot.
The hero of the drama is, of course
Laaty OLeary Dominick Murray, and,
like all other heroes III all other dramas. lie
always turns up at the right time 70 do the
right thing. The villain of the piece
Rupert Harry ElliS). finds himself con-
Rtanrly toiled by the prescience of LaHty,
who. with an accuracy that railro ad con-
ducter nigh envy. is always timed 10 the
halt-second for resistance or rescue-to save
the oppressed mother or succor the ravished
baby. BY the by, that baby would be cal
tai one to travel with, it can stand SO many
hard knocks.
The weak points of the drama. however.
serve only as toils to the excellence of
Murrav's acting.
In the performance of Ldny Mr.. Murray
depicted with powerful effect one Of the
higher phases of Irish .character-ardent.

out the slightest alloy of that mas ster-wor-
ship which, i'll most dramatic productions.
seems to deform the devotion OF a social
inferior to one of higher rank. There is
little of the calmly sentimental through the
play. Nearly all is excitement and furore.
particularly in the part of LGHty. 1t is
greatly TO Mr.. Murray 5 credit that he never
once seemed TO overstep the bounds of the
reasonable, but spoke and looked the char
actcr as naturally as man OF high spirit
and ardent temperament hi ght be supposed
TO dc in real life On the whole. the per
formance Of ''Aileen Aroon' Strengthens
our belief that Dominick Murray never had
superior on the New Orleans stage as Il
delineator of Irish character.
The "Benica Boy" must be classed as
a dangerous performance, if one might
Judge from the side-splitting and mo
distending laughter which afflicted the au-
dicnce, without exception, during the whole
time. The plot is not much-being. like
