The promise made by telegraph that Ma
poleon will visit Paris this week, preceded by
the bulletin of great victory, will scarcely be
fulfilled from the disastrous opening of the
weeks campaign. The latest and fullest in
formation of the affair of Sunday is that cit
was only the semblance of success or amiti-
CATION of disaster" to the French. According
to the Paris despatch of the Tribune. the
French army was half across the Moselle on
the retreat from Metz, when they were asur.
prised" by the Prussians, and four hours
battle followed, in which, judging from the
obscure dispatches of the French Command.
ers, the French loss was immense. But after
all it is difficult to obtain, from the conflicting
reports of the two parties, just what the posi-.
ton of the two armies was.
The Emperor telegraphs that a reconnois-
sance in the rear developed no large body of
the enemy. The Tribune despatch says:
If the Germans had attacked Metz from
their own side of the Mosele, and had been
driven back, the report would have been in
leliisl6le enough, but on the showing of the
Emperor's despatch, they Unexpectedly got
around in great force to that side of the river
by which Marshal Bazaine meant to retire.

and checked his retreat. Furthur, tfev were
pushed upon Verdun and more likely they
were if requirements should come from
Thionville, to prevent Marshal Bazaine from
Joining the Emperor, and from going on to
Chalons to protect him and the Prince I'm
perial. !
According TO present appearances, the de-
spatch continues, the Prussians have once
more out-generaled the French. The silence
in Paris almost confirms this belief
The Tribune correspondent at Metz writes
on Friday:
For nine DAYS there has been nothing but
marching and countermarching The troops
are utterly weary; nearly the whole of Can
roberts corps has arrived and is rejoining the
regiment coming this evening. BY tomorrow
100000 men will be in line between Montigny-
les-Sablous, Grequy and Berney. The SOL
diers though complaining of useless fatigue,
are full of ardor, and are impatient OF the pro-
hibition to fire on Prussian scouts. The
Prussians occupy the whole of the country in
the front, and use the French railways to
bring up troops. The whole country has
been abandoned to them. They occupy the
villages and towns,in parties of hundred
and even twenty. 1t is believed here that
there is a comparatively small! force opposite
Metz, and that the main army is getting in
| the rear of the French. General FrossarL is
| reported under arrest. The soldiers are kept
constantly in readiness, and are ordered not
TO take OIL their shoes.
So far the Pruss:ans have shown themselves
first in the science of war. For twenty years
the French have studied war only in a super
fetal way. While making great parade
with her chassepot rifles and her horrid mi
trailleuses, she has neglected the important
branches of the quartermas:er and commits
sary departments. Theirs, in speech de-
livered in the Corps Legislatif on Thursday
last, stated that he knew month ago, that
France was utterly unprepared for war. The
genius of the great Napoleon was as CONVEX
SAINT with the minor details of supply as with
the grsndest combinations of strategy in the
field. 1t was his comprehensive intelli-
gence that rendered instantly available
upon any given point, the military resources
of the empire. For lack of this intelligence
the French armies are now like rope Of
sand beaten in detail, within striking distance
OF each other, by the superior tactics of the
Germans. The operations of this military
power of combination are clearly seen in the
compact and steady movement, the admirable
discipline, and the splendid esprit du corps Of
King Williams army. There military science
seems to have been laid under contribution
to ITS utmost resources in order to produce
effective forces and combinations.

The Democratic Platform.

This document is entirely in keeping with
the traditional ideas of the Democratic party.
1t begins by pronouncing the administration
OF President Grant a failure. A Democratic
convention some years ago took similar
view OF the war. Indeed the word failure
seems to be chronic with the Democrats.
They have so long been a standing illustra-
tration OF failure that the habit of using the
word has become secoId nature with them.
Then follow the usual commoLplaces about
Republican "extravasance" and corruption"
and military despotism' which are so notor-
ously at variance with the facts as TO be simply
ridiculous. The assertion that the expenses
Of the general and State governments have
been swelled beyond all precedent sounds
strangely in view of the feet that the civil ex-
penses of the government not including inter-
est on the public debt and pensions are only
$105,3I5, 456, or when reduced to coin, less in
proportion to our population than in
1860 under Democratic administration.
This fact together with the results of Demo-
cratic administration in the cities of New
AOin eelu DlOohlyH, VI luuecu wherever
tried proves that if the Republican party is
extravagant and corrupt the Democratic par
ty is much more so.
The transfer of the power to employ school
teachers from the district agent to the school
committee of the town, being an innovation
upon slime honored' usage, of course
came in for its share of denuDcation.
We can tell better when the experiment has
had a longer trial. They complain CT
the protective policy inaugurated and approx
ed by such eminent Democrats as Jefferson,
Madison and Jackson. The Bangor Demo
cratic Convention has discovered that the
system approved and sustained by these
statesmen operates "mainly for the benefit
OF the wealthy and the monopolists." The
platform also complains about the Ian.
gushing state of our navigation interests
without proposing any remedy. They are Oh
posed to the prohibitory law but favor ssiudi-
cous regulation" of the sale of intoxicating
liquors. In short the platform is almost en-
tirely devoted to grumbling 1t may mean
anything or nothing. 1t is almost entirely
negative. Free trade and free rum are the
only two positive principles of the Maine De-
mocracy. For the judicious regulation of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors means free rum
in practice.

Percival Bonney Of fSnlan5, and Tobias tara
Of Standish. The chaifman subsequently, re.
ported the following resolutions, which were
adopted:
]. The nation finds in General U. s, GRANT in the
administration of its civil affairs, the same rare
qualities Of unyieldng integrity, high purpose ami
broad and enlarged patriotism, of which he gave
such signal proof, and which the nation SO eagerly
accepted, in the hour Of its peril.
2. General JOSHUA l.. CHAMBERLAIN. after bs
brilliant administration of the affairs of the State
prolonged beyond custom, will retire from the Cub
ernatoriai chair with respect, confidence and love

chief executive officer land is the choice of this con-
venton the United States Senator to be chosen bv
3. Hon. SIDNEY PERHAM has orr entire CON-
1dcnce, that in the discharge of the responsible
duties to which loyal people are about to call
him, ne VIII exhDt those rare administrative quail
honore names which already precede his in the
high Office OF Governor of the State.

has served the interests Of this First Congressional
District with rare fidelity and with signal ability,
united but,an earnest and enthusiastic support.
b. The nominees of this convention for the sew.
well delight to honor, and they each and all are to
be elected.
THE UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.
| Mr.. Vinton explained that the committee had
not thought it best to make political issue OH
the point proposed in Mr. Stevens's resolution
and that they had also thought it best to leave
for separate action the words in brackets at the
close of che second resolution.
My Bonney of Portland then moved to amend
the second res button, by declaring that Governor
Chamberlain "is the choice of this convention
for the United States Senator to be chosen by
the next legislature"
L Mr.. Vnton explained that he did not wish to
be considered as opposing Governor Chamberlain,
but as there were some Republicans in the county
who favored Mr.. Morrill,, and both were good
men, he thought the question might be raised
whether it was proper for the convention to ex.
press an opinion. fnt'i
Mr.. Bonney replied that in his judgment, II
anybody had a right to express an opinion, this
convention, which had selected the men who
were to take part in the election of United
States Senator, had pre-eminent right to indi
cate its choice.
Mr.. G. W. Woodman of Portland supported
Mr.. Bonney's view, and the amendment wa.
then adopted without dissenting voice.
THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.
Il The members of the county committee for tn,
ensuing year were then chosen, as follows:
George w. Parker of Portland.

The nominees of the Republican County
Convention held in this city yesterday, will,
we believe, give general satisfaction. Gen.
c. p. Mattocks, the nominee for Comfy
Attorney, gradrct rs Bowdoin College in
1862, ara Nen3 IS .hs r as LIST Lieutenant
r. C6gl7anv lTGIh aiDe volunteers. His
. v. ~ ei officer secured him
.= H4ome pr. ne rose successfully to
ia ra -. captain, major, lieutenant-colonel
general by brevet. He was taken prisoner at
the battle Of the Wilderness, May 5th, 1864,
and remained in the hands of the rebels till
FeD. 2lst, 1865, with the exception of a short
period spent in an Intellectual attempt to e.
cape. After the war was over Gen. Mattocks
was admitted to the Cumberland bar, and has
practced his profession in this city with
continually growing reputation. He is a
young man of talent and vigor, is good
speaker and will prove an able AMI efficient
prosecuting officer. He was a candidate for
the nominations two years ago and found a
strong support in the convention.
Ebeu N. Perry, the nominee for sheriff, has
already served four years as Deputy Sheriff
and nearly two years as sheriff He is prompt
and efficient in the discharge of his duties,
and the bar, without distinction of party, de-
clare that no man has ever given better salts
faction in the Office.
Thomas Pencil, the candidate for County
Treasurer, has served in that capacity since
the death of Mr.. Hall, his predecessor. He
has been member Of the legislature, was
eleven years Deputy Sheriff, and four years
Sheriff. In all these positions he served with
ability and fidelity. He is gentleman of in
corruptible integrity and sound political
principles.
George E. Chadbourne of Bridston, the
candidate for County Commissioner, is man
of sound business talents which have been
recognized by his townsmen in choosing him
for successive years one of the seloctmen of
Bridgton.
The candidates for the Senate are MIDI.

wick, Samuel F. Perley of Naples, and C. j.
Morris of Portland Mr.. Lane, lawyer for
mery of this city, now of Standish, has served
two years in the Senate where his genial dis
position procured him multitude of friends.
Mr.. Carvll is a merchant of Brunswick in
high standing, and has held offices of trust in
his own town. He has served one term in
the Senate and is reliable and prudent legis-
lator.
Mr.. Perley has the advantage of legislative
experience, having served both in the House
and Senate, and is qualified by his abilities as
well as his familiarity with the duties of the
position for the work Of a legislator.
Mr.. Morris is well-known merchant of
