Freight Agents Association.
CHICAGO, Nov, 10-The regular semi-annual
meeting of the General Freight Agents Associa-
tion of the United States and Canadas was held
at the Sherman House in this city yesterday.
There were 43 railway and transportation COM
panies represented. L. A. Wadsworth, of the
Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad,
presided, and II. W. Hubbard, of the Vandalia
line, acted as Secretary. The most i'm
portant business transacted was the adoption of
a revised classification of freight, which,
however, is subject TO the approval of the New
York Central.
The reduction of five per cent. on the rates
for compressed cotton, weighing $4,000 pounds
or more per car, adopted at Louisville two
months since, was repealed. The rates on COM
pressed cotton made at the same time were
affirmed. The next meeting will be held in
San Francisco on the 18th of April next.

St. Quentin by the Germans is taken from the

EcfO du Nord:--
Tho Prussians only remained in st. Quentin for
the period necessary 10 collect the war contribu-
tion. They came on Friday by noon, and asked the
sum Of two million francs, under penalty Of the
Municipal Com@tttee ; were declared declared prisoners r
OF war. 1t may be recollected that after their
entrance INTO Laon tn they I Iregured gu one million, but
fered to them. The st. Quentin Municipality tried to
obtain some similar reduction but less fortunate than
a sum Of 100000 francs, and TO contribute fifty
horses The horses which were presented not hav-
ing been considered good enough the contribution
in cash increased to $50, 600 francs The officers
ard soldiers were lodged with the inhabitants. The
conditions imposed were that each soldier was to
be fed by the inhabitant who gave him lodging He
was to be comfortably and substantially fed, and to
receive one bottle OF wine every day. The follow
ing day, that Is on Saturday morning half the garrl
son left ST. quentin to go and reinforce the corps
which was to besiege La Fere. One thousand Prus-
watched the road between this town and La Fere.
To hold ssn SO large 9wn as be St Ssenta
terror they inspire by the menaces OF death, and
a'so to the fact that the population was disarmed,
for on the entrance Of the Prussians into the town
they were cautious enough to order, under penalty
Of death that of all kinds should be delivered
up to them. On awaking on Sunday morning the
population was quite surprised to discover that not
one Prussian was to be seen, and everybody asked
What had become OF them? Whatever may be the
cause OF the hurried departure OF the Prussians
certain it is that Sunday morning the corps occu
pying st. Qnentn, and the small army which had
ceeding for an unknown destination.
Terrible accounts come from Bazeilles, which
was destroyed by the Prussians. a correspon-
dent of a contemporary writes: On the 25th
instant visited it for the fifth time and ran a
serious risk of being killed by the fearful ava
lanches of walls, which fall with o crash never
to be forgotten, first to left, then to right
then in front of me, while was endeavoring to
persuade the people, estimated at 400 by the
cure, who still sleep there to leave their cellars
pigsties, ETC., and sleep anywhere rather than
among the ruins. Ten days ago | visited Ba-
zeilles by night, and found six or seven families
one of ten one of five, another of nine, another
of four another of eight persons, another OF two
or three-all ranged in a row in their cellars
like bottles of wine-men, women, and chill
dren mixed. At that time the cellars were not
yet damp Now they are saturated with rain,
which pours in freely. May God help the poor
people; il is almost beyond the help of man. At
this moment Bazeilles is exactly like Pompeii.
month hence it will be q heap of stones, for
the very ruins are falling in with dreadful
crashes and choking up the entrances to the
cellars, where few poor wretches are still
sleeping.

BUTLER'S PROGRAMME FOR THE
FUTURE.

His Views on the Future PeIicy of the UeDub-
Iicnn Party The Aiabama Claims 10 Fur
nish Capital for the Presidential Campaign.
LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 7.-General Butler, in a
recent conversation, said that he Intends to
make speech at an early day upon what he
holds to be the policy the administration ought
to pursue in order to keep the Republican party
together, and give it new yigOr and such "A hold
upon public confidence as to insure its triumph
in the next Presidential canvass and he gave
an outline of the opinions he intends TO present.
The Republican party, he said, is not now
united upon siugle question of public policy.
Upon the tariff question it is split in two by the
backbone of the Aleghenies. Upon all tiuan-
cial issues the division is almost as marked.
The party has no longer any coherent force, and
recognizes no leadership. 1t gives no support
to the administration it has chosen, which was
not able at the last session OF Congress to
carry single one of the measures it pro-
posed. The San Domingo treaty failed in
the Senate in spIle of all the influence the Pre-
sdent could bring TO bear. Creswels one idea
of abolishng the tranking privilege was lost.
The Secretary of the Navy did not get the APP
propriations he asked for TO carry on his depart
ment. The army was reduced, Notwithstanding
the protests of the War Department. The at
torpey-GeneIars Office was knocked into pi.
BuutWells financial measures were badly cut
up. there was never before an administration
possessing so little influence with Congress of
Its own party.
The Republican party, General Butler thinks,
has been kept alive for the past two years
solely by the unwiliDgness of the people to in
trust power to party which sided with the
country's enemies during the war. These war
memories will not last much longer, however,
and cannot be counted upon To furnish political
capital for the Presidential struggle two years
hence. By that time The Democrats will have
fully accepted the results of the war. Re-
construction, suffrage, and all domestic issues
growing out of it will have been fully settled
and finally disposed of, and will furnish no pos
sible foundation for the Republican party to
construct a platform upon. There is one
question of the war, however, that is not set
tied. and that is the foreign question. The
Wo.nds received by our national honor at the
hands Of Great Britain are not yet healed, and

EUGENE IN ENGLAND.



The London Daily Ne1oS of the 2Sth ultimo
contains long and interesting defense of the
course of the Empress Eugenie, which appears
to be authoritative. 1t claims that her residence
at Chiselhurst is not resort of intrIguers, and
the visits of the imperialists to her are not en-
couraged. The communication concludes with
the following singular recital:-
SIT is proper to add that family intrigues
succeed no better with the Empress than those
which are hatched from beyond the Rhine.
What is known of the two interviews between
the Empress and her cousin, Prince Napoleon,
serves to show her firmness and her just appre-
citation of men as well a. of circumstances. 1t
is well known, indeed that the Emperor's cou-
sin has never been in any great odor of sanctity
at the TuileTies and that the Empress personally
has taken little pains to conceal her proposes
sions against one whom she has always consi-
deredthe Emperor's enemy. The political temper
ament of Prince Napoleon and his philosophical
and moral opinions were, it is true, but little in
accordance with those of the Empress and the
sad events of which France has been the victim
did not in any sway tend to reconcile views
or feelings between which there had been no
possible point of contact. Be that as il may,
and not to push an inquiry into psychological
peculiaritIes, it is certain that the second and
last visit of Prince Napoleon at Chisehurst
ended in an explosion. The Prince may pro-
test as much as he likes, that will not alter the
facts.
During this last visit Prince Napoleon, with
his usual impulsiyeness, allowed himself TO eX.
press somewhat harsbly his opinions touching
The different ministries of the last month of
the Empire, and he went so far as to call one of
them ministry of idiots (cretiaS). Now, the
sentiment of gratitude is very strong with the
Empress, and she made reply to her illustrous
cousin of which the following sentences convey
the substance, if not The precise words:-I
know not, MOnseigneur, said the Empress, what
you mean by ministry OF idiots, but what do
know is that down TO the last moment the
Emperor was served by devoted and faithful
friends. For the last eighteen years you have
opposed the empire. You and those about you
have never ceased to undermine il; and o-day,
when the Emperor is fallen, you pursue him
still. Had you been at Paris on the 4th Septem-
Der you might have been able to give us good
advice, but you were absent as you have sc
often happened to be, at the moment of danger
Of course to your great regret, as / do no
doubt Upon this Prince Napoleon tarried NJ
longer. He took up his hat and left the room.
