The Latest Peace Mission Of M. Theirs.
The visit Of NJ. Theirs under Prussian
safeguard to Paris, in order to learn the
views of his colaborers in the government
regarding peace, is pregnant with the greatest
good to France. 1t is most probably the last
chance France will have Of making q condi-
tional peace, Of securing any terms whatever
from the powerful enemy that already over
whelms her, or Of escaping from the wofnl
fate of a proud nation wholly subjugated. NJ.
Theirs comes fresh from the courts Of London,
Vienna, Florence and st. Petersburg, and is
therefore fully acquainted with the views,
automatically expressed, of the leading neu-
trail governments of Europe. He knows what
hope there is of armed Intervention, Of peace
full mediation, or Of purely neutral indifer
ence, on the part Of the great nations who
alone can help France in her present need.
Trochu and the Committee of Defence as to
peace negotiations, and ''crammed" as he is
by his visits in the interest Of peace to foreign
courts, 1t is very probable that on his repre-
sentation Of what he has seen and heard the
question Of an immediate peace will be decided.
The action of the Prussian commander in
granting M. Theirs safe conduct into Paris
speaks volumes for the truthfulness of the
Prusslau reports Of the war. The King
and his counsellors evidently do not fear
having the truth told the people In Paris
regarding the prospect in the provinces.
They seem inclined to make some use Of M.
Theirs for disseminating among the dispirited
prisoners in Paris the news Of the desclation
among their people in the provinces and Of
the crowning disaster in their coadjutant
fortress Of Metz. These facts falling on
French ears from NJ. Theirs lips will serve
Prussisn purposes almost as effectually as a
bombardment Of the city.
NJ. Theirs has grave responsibility on
his hands. With him probably rests the
success of an early peace negotiation, and,
with the facts of Count Bismarck's circular
about the threatened starvation 80 vividly
illustrated and exemplifed by the horrors
of Meta before the eyes Of the world, he
will be held to strict and stern RESPONSE
bility. He must discard the sentimental
ism Of his nation, he must weigh well
the sanguine hopes that may be indnlged
in by his soldierly advisers on the Defence
Committee, he must look only to hard facts
facts that would have ground the face of Grad
grind himself and soon threaten to grind the
faces Of the French people.

All HaIlsw Eea asd All saia.s' Day.
Not few Of the old traditional Observances
Of the Church Of Rome appeal 70 strongly to
deep and universal sentiments in human nature
as to retain their hold even In this sceptical
age. In fact, their influence is now by no
means restricted to the Church and the COM
munities in which they originated. Thus last
night. at many areside throughout this coun-
try as well as In both Catholic and Protestant
countries Of Europe, folks as merry and
friendly as those described BY Burns
Together did convene
To burn their nits and p0u their stocks
Ana baud their Halow Fen.
Burns said Of All Hallow E'en:-s'It is
thought to be night when all the superhuman
beings who people space and earth and air in
search Of mischief revel at midnight, and 1t Is
also grand anniversary Of the more beneh-
cent tribe Of fairies, whose occupation is to
battle each evil genius in bis wicked pursuit.
To-day is All Saints Day. Anglicans and
American Episcopalians, as well as Catholics,
will relig,ously observe the solemnity which
was originally instituted on the dedication by
0VAh3SOt 0AcAOP Va AsOnAOs VI VIC \ 0ueAoVA,
as the Church of All Martyrs, May l, A. D.
61O, when it was called the Festival Of Santa
Marta ad Martyres. 'sIt was afterwards
removed to the other half year, November 1,
when the harvest had been got In. In process
Of time this festival became general to All
Saints, as it is now." It will be followed
tomorrow by what the Italians call La Conn.,
menaorasione di tutti ! JsdeI defunti, the Com
memoration Of All the Faithful Dead. In
Italy, Spain, France and Germany, and to
some extent in England and the United States,
it is then the custom for the families and
friends of the departed to visit the cemetery
and strew flowers on their graves. Alas
how many French and German soldiers have
lately died, whose graves must remain
unvisited, whose only burial place is the
battle field

try and aiding the enemy. How else can we
account for the surrender OF an army Of q
hundred and fifty thousand men by Bazaine ?
Such an immense force ought to have cut its
way through almost any besieging army had
it been we'll managed and led out before
enfeebled by starvation. Is not that
very imperialism which has overwhelmed
France in ruin now plotting with
the foreign enemy TO deliver her up bound
hand and foot
The unrelenting war carried on against
France by the King of Prussia on pretence Of
wanting guarantees Of peace, long after his
first avowed object had been obtained, shows
that there is another purpose. No doubt this
is to crush the rising republic through reduc-
ing the French people to the most humiliating
and hopeless condition. The same atrocious
object the so-called neutral Powers desire to
see accomplished. They fold their arms COM
placently while this terrible bloody war--this
war Of devastation, which is disgrace to civili-
cation and the age-is going on, with the hope
that the French republic may be buried In the
ruins. This IL the secret why the selfish
British government-why the British mon
archy and aristocracy win not raise finger in
behalf Of France, and why all the other
monarchies and oligsrchles Of Europe
do not say word in the cause
Of humanity. King William and his hosts
are the Vaudals Of modern times, and their
secret allies are the crowned heads and
aristocracies Of Europe. Can the republic of
France stand under such q fearful combina-
tiona That is the question Of the day. The
prospect is gloomy at present, but France in
former times did wonders when she was fully
aroused and Europe was in arms against her.
At all events, should the King Of Prussia,
with the connivance of the other crowned
heads, squelch the republic now, the principle
will live, and day Of retribution will come,
when the people Of Europe shall rise in their
might and demand everywhere liberty and
self-government

summer Recroatiens.
The living III hts Of the stage in this country,
like those OF evesy other profession, have
''their lines cast IN pleasant places" An
inquiring visitor at Long Branch last summer
would have been amply satisfied upon this
point, in the oosey cottages by the sea and iu
the handsome nags and drags of the distiu-
gulshed actors there, enjoying their ossuns cum
dignitato with General Grant and Collector
Murphy. We have sometimes thought that ia

A friend, however, Of that veteran and
popular actor, Mr.. James II. Hackett has
given VI some hints Of his summer recreations,
which convince us that with all the humor Of
FalstaR he has, in the choice Of
his summer retreats and pastimes, tho

Tho Fourth Conure.siona, Di.srie..

Tho Fourth Congregational District.
Between the two democratic candidates for
Congress in this district, Robert B. Roosevelt
and General M. I. Mcmahon, there can be
very little doubt as to the question Of success.
Mr.. Roosevelt happens to be on the strong
ticket Of Tammany, which in itself is pass
port to popular majority but besides this
endorsement there are many fine old tradi-
tionary ideas connected with Mr.. Roosevelt's
name and family which naturally render him
the favorte Of the people in the Fourth Con-
gressional district. The ancient Knicker-
bockers left their mark more prominently than
any other race upon the history Of this city.
The spirit Of democracy, we might almost say,
sprung out Of them, and in the lower portions
of the city they had their homesteads nearly a
century ago. Mr.. Roosevelt is not only lineally
a representative Of the old Knicksrbocker
stock, but in many of his characteristics re-
tains the simplicity Of taste and the blunt
honesty Of his progenitors Personally he is q
man of force and q man Of progress.
His competitor, General McAahon, is .
gentleman whose private character is above
reproach, and whose public record, both as a
soldier in the war aud as our representative at
the republic of Paraguay In the most troublous
times In the recent history of that country,
entities him to all respect. But, unfortunately
for General McMahon, his name appears on the
wrong ticket, and therefore his chances for q
seat in Congress are exceedingly slim. With
out doubling General McMahon's qualifications
at all, 1t is impossible not to see that he is In
the wrong place just now. With such capacity
as he possesses there is future, and the time
must come when his own ambition and the
wishes Of his friends may be gratiAed.

The War situatIon--Frauce stlll s Unborn

The War SituaflOn-France Still s Unborn.
France is still determined to resist. The
fall Of Metz seems only to have added fuel to
the enthusiasm. Bourbaki at Amiens is organ
izing the Army of the North with an apparently
definite object. He intends, according to his
proclamation, to raise the siege Of Paris with
flying armies a light infantry, which can ope-
rate as soon as their numbers are large enough
without waiting for the vast munitions
deemed necessary for heavier bodies. The
National Guards and Mobiles appear to be
concentrating at Tours and Rennes, and i'm
mense demonstrations in favor of the republic
are being held throughout the republic. 1t
may be that the terrible troubles of the war
have been necessary to weld the people
together and to make the republic, founded in
blood and disaster, the permanent government
OF the nation. The disasters still continue,
however. Dion has been occupied by o force
of Prussians, and the inference seems to be
that the move on Lyons is about being prose-
outed with vigor.
The bombardment of Paris, it is said, will
certainly commence to-day. The stern Ger
man troops, like the old Roundheads, have
been engaged in solemn religious services pre-
paratory to the great work. They have been
asking God to bless their arms and to shed the
| light of His countenance upon the monstrous
| blow that will devastate the fair capital Of
sciences, arts and culture. she moves In a
| mysterious way" and it is not for us to say
how He may choose to work the great wonders
occurring round us every day. In harsh con-
trast, however, with the Cromwellian exhibi-
tion of fervor on the part Of the Germans is
the frivolous and heartless invitation sent to
the princes of the small South German States
to come and see the bombardment-Paris
butchered to make German holiday. The
reports from Prussian headquarters indicate
that rations are already scarce inside, and it
| is stated that women and children frequently
| force themselves to the Prussan lines, pre-
! ferring instant death from the Prussian fire to
slow death by starvation inside. From this
we must infer that the bombardment is to take
place without removing the women and chill
dren, and if such is the case another horror is
to be added to what threatens to be the most
direful event Of modern history

Another celebrated city Of France has fallen
into the hands of the victorious Prussians A
despatch from the neighboring town Of Beauns
announces that force Of twelve thousand
Germans has taken possession Of the City Of
Dion. Thus one by one the fortified places in
France are yielding to the invading armies.
Dion is the principal city in the department. OF
Cote dor, and is situate at the confluence Of
the Ouche and Suzon rivers, one hundred and
sixty miles southeast from Paris This ancient
city, rich In historic memories which run back
anterior to the dominion Of the Romans,
has passed through series Of vicissltudes
the climax Of which its present inhabi-
tants will deem its occupation by
the Prussians. After being enlarged
and embellished by Aurelian 1t was sucoes-
sively burned by the Saracens, sacked by the
Normans, partially destroyed again by fire,
besleged and humiliated by the Swiss, and
now similarly humbled by the Germans. II
was long the official residence of the Dukes Of
Burgundy, and Its famous palaces contain
many interesting and valuable relics Of the
Middle Ages. Among It's numerous architec-
tural attractions are the Gothic cathedral and
other venerable churches. Additional interest
attaches to Dion by reason Of its being the
birthplace Of some Of the most truly great and
beloyed men of France. Its present population
is estimated at forty thousand, and Its citizens
have enjoyed the reputation Of materially fur
thering the fine arts, literature and various
branches Of active industry. Being an impor-
tant point on the railroad line between Paris
and Lyons, the possession Of Dion is valu-
able acquisition to the Prussians.
