Mr. Phlllp packer,s Card.

The Courier is having sorry time
of it in It's assaults upon the official
career Of Philip Decker It FIRST
charged him with inproper motives
in voting for the building of the Salt
Well bridge. DIR. Decker responded
to this insinuation unequivocally and
candidly, and the Courier dropped the
subject like hot potatOe. Taking an
other tack, It next Gssailcd him for
charging three hundred dollars for
experimenting the repairs Of the
Court House, after another man. Mr..
Philip Kramer. had received two hun
dred and fifty dollars for doing ex-
actly the same service. This charge
Mr.. Decker meets in card,
which appeared in the Courier
of Saturday. from which we copy
it this morning. Mr.. Decker shows.
by the official record that, the
Courier assertions were false 10 every
particular. And what kind of re-
ioinder does the Courier offer to Mr.
Decker's official facts? Wegive Il in
full, in order that our readers may
see what luaicrous appearance that
paper presents when compelled TO
swallow lis own falseh Gods:
The mogs ridiculous article that ever ap-
peared in q newspaper is Mr.. Philip Deck
er's card, which we publish to-day, con-
corning his connection with the improv-
ment OF the Court House. We cannot ex-
pose its shalEowness this morning for
want Of space, but VIII do so tomorrow.
III Mr. Decker cannot defend his ofIlcial
action better than he has done in this in
stance, he he'd better look out for breakers
that viii be certain to swamp him inside
or the next eighteen days. -
The Courier seems to think it a
''ridicuIousn thing to nrnuA -4a--A =

like a work of supererogation to dem
onstrate fact already so we'll estab-

will strike most people. however
even among the Courier's readers,
that Mr.. Deoker's card is more sun-
answerable than ridiculous. The
''oil story in yesterdays Courier
shows that, If Dir. Decker has accom-
plished nothing else. he has at least
taught that paper caution. II can in

All French correspondents have re-

LONDON, August 10 Midnight.
Rumors have been renewed of the in
tervention of Powers to bring about an
armistiee between Prussia and France;
but they are secuted as chimerical.
A special correspondent writes from
Chalons, Friday, that all except military
railway trains have been stopped by
Marshal Canrobert, who is back from
Paris, and now gone to Metz, following
nm Soips. hop law prevents unliithfy
trains enenmbered with enormous guam
titles of officers baggage, and supply
trains are delayed. Veterans arrived
from Metz with Emperor's soldiers are
meantime on one-half rations.
Our special correspondence from Paris,
Sunday evening, says the public feeling
is more and more hostile to the Emperor;
and it is openly said that the Emperor
will never again be seen in Paris. Peo-
pie express this opinion with energy, not
fearing mouehards; but no surrender
IS the general cry among all classes.
They call the Emperor an imbecile, and
his Generals courtiers and traitors; but
the strongest anti-Imperialists say, of
course, the enemy must be driven out of
France.
