OFFICE OF THE MAYoRALTY, EXECUTIVE DEPART
NENT, CITY HALL, Oct 24-Dear Sir:-The attempt
Of the Federal authorities to prevent fun registry
and their appointment of an army OF marshals
purpose to beltte, as far they can, the vote of

From the evidence which has been presented to

districts OF this city and which will shortly appear
alphabetically and authenticaly through the local
census) am convinced that fair count would show
over million and q quarter OF Inhabitants here,
and voting population OF at least two hundred
thousand, one In six, which is below the average
Of the other cities OF the State.
AS head OF the local government of the city of
New York anxious to preserve for it the honored
title OF the metropolis OF the Union, therefore ap-
peal TO you, whatever political parry to which you
may belong, TO lay aside all other business, II
cessaIy, either on Monday, october 81, or Tuesday,
November /. which are the last registry days and
personally register your name, without which
yCu cannot vote. Yours truly,
A. OAKEY HALL, Mayor.

PGISon
The Court this morning resumed the trial of Po-
lice Ofeer Charles Max for the murder OF the young
man James ?; Welsh, by shooting him at Third Third
of April 9th last. After the giving OF the medical
testimony, showing the cause OF death-which is of
vital Importance TO murder trial In court but Is
not OF the slightest interest to the outside public,
they being satisfied with the fact that
death resulted by the act of the accused, If that is
really the fact, the Commonwealth proceeded to
examine the witnesses TO the occurrence, who were
the inhabitants of the locality where it took place.
According TO Them the story of the prosecution Is
the fOllOwng:-Late in the evening Murtagh and
Welsh were walking up Third street together,
under the influence of liquor, and somewhat bois-
terous, having already tried TO get into several pr
vate dwellings, and when they reached Montgomery
said he would arrest Welsh. The noise attracted
the neighbors, who raised their windows and opened
their doors TO see what the disturbance was.
Welsh said he ought not TO be arrested,
because he was a good Democrat. Max
replied that TINS mace no Slnerence, ana ne would
companion, "Hughey, don't let him take me; are
you going back on y" Murtagh replied mo,
will 90 with you and We'll sleep in the same cell -
they then started OF, Welsh and Max going to-
gether ahead, and Murtagh following close behind ;
when they had crossed the street struggle oc-
CURED between Max and Welsh and they fell 10 the
ground, rolling over one another; then welsh

out, 'rDon't shoot him, he'll go;' Max then turned
and shot Murtagh; both were taken TO neigh5or-
ing house, where they soon died; before they
reached Montgomery avenue Welsh was heard TO say
that he would shoot Murtagh If he did not do what
he wished him to do there was some variance IN the
statements OF the witnesses for the Commonwealth,
some saying that severe struggle ensued between
the young men and the officer, and that they sw0re
fercey at each other and others that no one fell to
the ground before the pistol was fired by Max. Some
drst, while the majority swore that he was Shot
second The case is yet on trial.

Bogus War News.

Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph
New YORK, Oct. 25.-This morning some
thing of q sensation was created by the circula-
tion of a report that despatch had been re-
ceiyed by cable from London to the effect that
the negotiations of Burnside, Bismarck and
Favre had terminated successfully, and that
France had accepted the terms of peace pro-
posed by Prussia, with slight notifications.
The news was circulated in the shape of
what purported to be extra proof slips of the
Commercial Advertiser, but it was afterwards
ascertained that they were bogus. The Eoening
Post was victimized in the same way. No such
dispatches were received over the cable to-day,
and the whole thing was a dodge on the part of
persons anxious to influence the markets.

The Peace Movement,

The Empress Eugene is still in London awaiting
the results of the conference concerning peace,
which Is now suspended itself awaiting further news

1t is believed here in the best informed quarters
that the whole OF the present peace movement was

Germany, for withdrawing from the war without
accomplishing the objects set before the German
public and by the organs OF Count Won Bismarck for
LONDON, Oct, 24.-Yeur special at Boulogne sends
word that slight demonstration in favor OF peace
was made at Tours on Friday by NJ Francois Jules
Grevy, formerly representative from the Jura, and
himself to Gambetta as the spokesman of sixty
ether noted republicans M. Grevy says that France
desires peace, that Germany desires peace, that
but that the German Government does not
understand how it can treat for peace excepting
slider and will not consider the Government for ma
tlonal defense as regular government on the
Otner nanu, SAID M. GreVy, Jne circumstances
under which the advent to power OF the Govern
ment for the national defense took place forbid that
government from accepting such conditions as alone
1t is probable Count Won Bismarck will be suffered
by the public opinion Of his own country
| to offer. In this dilemma M. Grevy sees but one
way OF safety and escape from the else hopeless i'm
| broglo-the election, that is, OF a Government
with which Prussia can treat. 1t is be-
| lieved, adds M Grevy, that Count Won
Bismarck is perfectly ready to allow the elections
| for such government to go forward undisturbed.
"We shall not be likely" he adds to obtain month
hence better terms than now extended to us In
| a month hence thousands more will have pershed
| France will be more completely runed it will bt
| still more difficut for her to find auXarteS IL
| Europe We want government recognized by the
| principal powers Of Europe; and we must not de
| ceive ourselves by supposing that our actual gov
ernment is at all likely to be so recognized"
This appeal OF M. Grevy was received respectfully
| by the Government, but it has produced not thu
slightest effect either upon the ministers or th
| public As one OF the journals here remarked, I"
government regularly recognized by the republic o
the United States mas no need to be disturbing itsel

The New York Epening Mail says:-A very singu-
lar accident, resulting in the drowning of little
girl in the Brooklyn park fountain, occurred at 101
O'Clock last night. A spirited team of horses at
tached to a wagon containing Patrick McGaugh and
wife, William Higgins, Patrick McOloskey, adults,
and Mary +. DargOn, little girl six years of age,
took fright while being driven through the Prospect
Park last night, and became unmanageable They
dashed over the smooth road with frghtful rapidity
and all the occupants could do was to cling tena-
ciOusly TO the vehicle. When reaching the plaza,
the team dashed directly into the large fountain,
taking the coach and occupants with them. The
coach was overturned in the water which is about
four or hve feet deep and all the occupants narrowly
escaped drowning When the older parties had
scrambled out they found that Mary Dargan, the
little girl, was missing, and on search being made
her body recovered. The horses were also
rescued but were found to be considerably bruised.
The coach was smashed The body OF the little girl
