The war news furnishes us with ooie'

and good will. At Lyons PROCESSION VI
women in mourning walked thr0agh 'he
streets. the tocsin was sounded and iran

reported occupation Of Nuts by the Ger
mans. which fails to be confirmed, was
the cause of this manifestation of feeling.
Accounts com Bordeaux state that the
Germsns had won victory before Nuts
hut were obliged to retreat under re-
newed attack on the 10Th, the day follow
ing. The commander of the National
Guards at Lyons was shot by the popuiace
in fit of rage. The reports from Gen.
Faidheerbe's army are directly contradict.
DRY, one account alleging that he has
gained a victory, another that he has been
defeated-and both evidently referring to
the same battle The general character
Of the news shows that the people in
France are evidently more determined
than ever in their resistance, and that
Bismarck's favorite forces are ga yet far
from being exhausted

The windows of the hotels are darkened,

The Acknowledgement of the State o.
New York has given a formal opinion in
regard to the Fifteenth Senatorial Dis.
trict vacancy, caused by the death of Sen.
ator Blood, that the Governor of New
York neither has the power to appoint or
order special election. He made refer.
ence to the mspner of conducting the
English elections as follows:
And it was declared as it is essential to
the very being of Parliament that an cleo
ton should be absolutely free, therefore
all undue influences upon the electors are
illegal and strongly prohibited. And it
was ranked among those breaches of trusr
in the Executive Magistrate, which, &C
cording to the notions of eminent states.
men and iurists of that country, amoant.
ed to dissolution of the government if
such Executive Magistrate should employ
his influence, force, treasure or offices of
the society to corrupt the representatives
or openly to pre-engage the electors and
prescribe what manner of person should
be chosen. For thus to regulate candi-
dates and attempt to control elections, it
was said, would cut up the government
by the roots and poison the very fountain
of public security.
AS further safeguard it was provided
as soon as the time and place of an cleo
ton, either in counties or boroughs, was
fixed, all soldiers CHARTERED in the place
were to be removed, at least one day be-
fore the election, to a distance of two
miles or more, and not to return until one
day after the poll is ended.
And if any officer of the excise, customs,
stamps or certain other branches of the
revenue, presumed to intermeddle in elecs
tions by persuading any voter or dissuad-
ing him, he forfeited heavy penalty and
was disabled from holding any office.
The spirit of these enactments was to
deprive the Eecutive magistrate of all op-
portanity to fill the Legislative depart
ments of the government with the mini
ons of royal power, and to leave such cleo
ton to the free choice of the people.
The Free Press says this, the Troy Press
considers fitting and whitening rebuke
of the General Government of this ooun-
try. Perhaps it is, but someway there
don't seem to be any symptoms of curling
up under it yet. On the contrary, there
is bill before Congress to amend the
election law passed last summer, which
showed its good effects SO plainly in the
election in New York city in November,
80 that its execution shall be more certain
and effectual.

FRENCH AND GER.fAN.-Itis said that
literary curiosity was found at Metz in
the shape of "Guide for the French Sol
dier in Germany" containing on each
page double column of French and Ger
man terms for the necessaries of life and
the common expressions of daily inter-
course. Some of the expressions are anus
ing illustrations of the spirit which these
Invading conquorors" proposed to ex-
hibit toward their Inundated foe. For
instance, in taking possession of quarters
for the night the polite Frenchman Is in
structed to say: "Get ont of these rooms
instantly; you can't stay here any longer.
Gro and make coffee and chocolate and
prepare our suppers without delay I" etc.
At present the order of obstruction is re-
versed, and the book is found useful as
guide for the German soldier in France.

The FISHERIES. - Late. Washington
dispatches say that Mr.. Thornton, the
British Minister, has been instructed to
settle the complications that have arisen
concerning the fisheries, and has already
taken the initiatory steps for new treaty
between the United States and England,
which shall cover the subject. This will
leave our new Minister to England Gen.
Sohenck, Tree to devote himself entirely
to the Alabama claims, and there is no
danger Of his being very idle at present.

ing her native France,-and Florence
Nightingale who, though of royal blood,
left her luxurious home to minister to the
sick and wounded victims of the Crimean
war,-and Ida Lewis, who by her dexter.
ity at the oarrescued many shipwrecked
mariner. He spoke of the mothers, wives
sisters, and daughters of our own day
who, without murmur babe their best
beloved to go and risk their lives for theil
country's life. .-....-
He portrayed in glowing colors the
faithfulness, devotion and heroism Of
women,--how she would leave her peace
full home to follow the trail of contendine
hosts, and minister to the relief of the
sick and mangled soldier. How, regard
less of her own safety she would enter
the sick room reeking with pestilential
miasma, and give her life to the cause Of
humanity. The whole lecture was inter.
spersed with neral reflections and sound
advice.
But Notwithstanding his fulsome lau-
dation of woman and woman's heroism,
he omitted to suggest to his audience that
they should endeavor to lift her from the
state of political vassalage and degrade
ton in which she has been held from the
birth of time, alike by Christian and
heather, of the dominant sex.
He did not exhort the young man to
forego the preiudices of the ages and
'shonor his mother no less than his father
by restoring to her the inherent, inalien'
able right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"
He did not allude to the transparent
fact that according to the accepted theory
and practice of our government, woman
has no rights whatever but what are con-
ceded to her by the magnanimity of the
lords of creation"-that "iuslienable'
rights are myth so far as they pertain
to woman, and in no sense worthy of re-
eognition. REPORTER.

GRAFToN.-Messrs. G.. N. French 6
Co., have in the finishing room Of their
carriage shop lot of sleighs, which /
never saw surpassed in any of the cele.
brated salesrooms of Boston. They are
made after the general Portland pattern,
with quite round backs, high knees, long
runners, and ironed in the most thorough
manner. Though the iron is securely
fastened to the woodwork. not a screw
head or rough place is to be seen, SO per-
feet is the finish. They are being up
holstered with rich crimson plush. The
painting and ornamental finish is done in
Mr.. French's best style. The gliding and
stripping especially, is executed with rare
taste and delicacy. 1t need not be added
that purchasers of fine sleighs are making
haste to secure them. Nor ia it any won
der, as they are sold at very low price.
Music has power" ETC., runs an
ancient saying, and if there is any virtue
in old proverbs, civilization will make a
great advance in this town during these
winter months, as there are two fully at
tended singing schools, for which the
people will pay about three hundred DOL
lars. Now, with a total population of
about 1000 persons, it is manifest that
the pro rata tax for this fine art is not
light. Messrs. Holmes of this place and
Kimball of Rockingham, are the instruc-
tors of these rival schools.
Of Mr.. K. cannot speak, though 1
hear him highly spoken of as teacher.
Mr.. Holmes is recognized as one of the
best teachers of vocal music outside city.
His instruction is clear, thorough and
systematic. He has led the choir of the
Baptist church in this town for several
years, and it is not too much to say that
church music of such uniform high char
acter, taste and execution one seldom
hears. | understand that he has been of
fered a liberal salary to conduct the re-
hearsals and Sabbath singing of choir
elsewhere, but he declines, preferring to
remain in his native town. He has, be-
lieve, all the schools to which he can at
tend already engaged.
The ladies of the Congregational So
ciety hold their annual festival on Friday
