NEW YORK.

New York, January "A terrible
tragedy, recalling in some of its features
the famous Helen Jewett murder, and iu-
vested in addition with dark shadows OF
mystery, occurred at 60 Elizabeth street,
last evening. The house is one of assig.
nation, kept by Mrs. beck. Amcug the
visitors to the house, and occupants of a
back room, every Sabbath afternoon for
the past FIVE months, have been an IN.
known gentleman and closely yelled lady.
Nothing was known of the parties by
Mrs. Beck, except that the man engaged
the room every previous Saturday, and
that the mysterious woman, whose face
she had never seen, met him at the usual
time. Last evening st $50 O'Clock pistol
shots we're heard 10 the chamber. Mrs.
Beck and policeman hastily broke in
the door aud found man lying on the
f Dor insensible, with pistol shot in the
right temple, and his companion, hand
some and apparently refined and intelli-
gent lady, lying near him with a ghastly
wound in her loft temple. The lovers
were taken TO Bellvus Hospital, where
they died shortly after arriving, and with.
out speaking word TO clear up the mys-
terry. From papers found in their peck
etc, it is believed the name of the man is
George Bauman, and that of the woman
Aunie Mcnamara, and that they were
both school teachers 10 Brooklyn-East-
ern division. The bodies were placed in
the Morgue for Identification. Great ex.
element prevailed last night in the vicin.
ity OF the tragedy.

protest against the validity sf the two

The above shows that out of 1913 shares
of the bank 900 are credited to s. P,
Walker, which is pretty strong proof
that he owned almost the entire institu-
ton. This state ment is made up from
the books and papers Of the bank, and ia
certified to by respectable gentlemen.
How can the friends of Mr., Walker assert
that be redeemed the notes, dollar for
dollar, of this bank, when they can now
be bought on the street for twenty five
cents? If we had the space and time'

shown that.might make some blush with
shame.
The downfall of the Citizens Bank, we
repeat, has been of more incslculable in
Jury to the community of Memphis than
any one thing that has befallen tho pee.
pie since the foundation of the city. Men
were ruined in fortunes that required
wears to build them up again. The
widows and orphans hearts were wruug
with grief at the loss Of the little that was
taken frem them by the wild speculative
vagaries Of the man who would now be
Mayor of Memphis. Such an one could
never build up the credit of an over
burdened city. We want financier, and
a man with practical ideas of business.
The public can find such an one 10 Mr.
John Johnson, the Democratic candidate.

More earthquakes have occurred IN
Germany. At Gross Gerau, down to the
evening Of the 28th November, the shocks
were frequent but slight. On the I'm,
at 1919 PM, without previous warning,
the ground began to trsmble far more
violently than it had done since the I'D.
Three separate shocks were distin :
guished, and they lasted together seven
or eight seconds. The sensation is de-
scribed as resembling what would be felt
in the whole surface of the earth were
sliding down an inclined plane. No other
shocks were observed during the night,
but this only incr eased The terror OF the
inhabitants, who have begun to look on
every cessation of these phenomena az

than usual violence is at hand.

secession Movement in the South Of France.

Secession Movement in the South of France.
Our SPECIAL telegram from Versailles states
that fifteen of the departments in the South
of France have seeded from the provisional
government, and, in conjunction with Algeria,
propose to set up a government of their own.
This is the heaviest blow that France has yet
received So long as the nation is united
there remains some glimmer of hope that
its long and firm resistance to the for.
elgn forces within it's borders may come
to a successful issue; that other friendly
nations, touched by its manly bearing
under misfortunes, may interpose with q
strong hand to help it, But DOW internal dis
sensions seem to have fully accomplished
what they have been threatening for so long
to make Mexico Of France.
The demonstrations of the "reds' at Mar
settles, at Perpignan and at other points in
the southern provinces Of France, have been
recounted in our dispatches very recently,
and we have had further evidence Of strong
cred" feeling throughout the departments
bordering on the Mediterranean and
the Pyrenees. Although our special
NLCBThuly CouAiuB 90 ~ uOCo AIOuA VCIb0AACoj
the Prussian headquarters, could give no de.
tails of the secession there is no doubt that
the cities of Marseilles, Toulon, Nismes, per-
haps Toulouse and others of the most flourish
ing commercial towns of France, as well as
the rich agricultural districts of the South,
are included in the movement. What the
aim of the secessionists can be is not easy to
determine. They are doubtless ''reds," who
have no excuse for the movement except
disgust at the slow prosecution of
the war that France is waging
against the Prussian troops within
her border. But if they propose to assist in
any continued prosecution of the war, seces-
zion Is certainly not the way to do it, and if
they expect to evade paying their portion Of
the indemnity which Prussia proposes to
demand of conquered France or to switch off
invading armies from their soil by the mere
act of secession. they certainly mistake the
diplomacy of Bismarck and the power of
King William. The secession seems to have
had no such object. 1t is merely the crown to
the edi6ce of dwelling idiocy that seems
bent on driving France to ruin.

A FRENCH REPUBLIC IMPOSSIBLE. Accord
ing to the dictum of Louis Napoleon all the
conditions requisite for republican form Of
government are absolutely wanting in France,
and republic there is consequently an impos-
sibility. He recognizes how natural it Is for
Americans to sympathize with republican
institutions but believes that in France they
are a mere mirage. He ought to know

Now that the smoke Of the ''battle of the
ballot boxes" on Tuesday has somewhat
cleared AVA we can obtain partial survey
OF the field, anu will take an account of the
killed and wounded, 50 Far as 1t can be OBJ
tanned, for the benefit Of the readers of the
HERALD.
The clean sweep Of the democracy In this
city leaves but little further to be said in re-
the entire list was elected that sums up the
whole matter, and those who have been in
terested enough In the election to remember
the democratic candidates are already sufi-
GENTLY informed in regard to the names of the
victors.
Governor Hoffman has received handsome
endorsement in his majority Of nearly fifty
three thousand. Mayor Halls efforts to put
the machinery Of the city government in
motion under the new Charter have been cor
daily sustained, and his administration trum-
phantly indicated by the very respectable ma
jority Of nearly twenty-four thousand. This,
too, Notwithstanding his opponents seized every
means to attack him, personally and politically,
and to impugn the motives that actuated him
in making certain important appointments.
The heavy majorities for Brennan for Sheriff
and Loew for County Clerk-over forty-two
thousand in one case and over forty -one thou
sand in the other-exhibit the personal popu-
larity these worthy officials enjoy.
The Young Democracy in the Fourth Con-
gressional district did not do SO well for
General Mcmahon as they imagined.
Knickerbocker Roosevelt, backed by Tam
many, was too much for him. Brother
Greeley bucked hard against Cox, but the
fates were against him and he had to go to the
wall. He died hard. Tammany permitted
Smith Ely, Jr., to take himself out of the way,
for he was frequently very fractions and trou-
blesome, by allowing him to go to Congress.
Fernando Wood laid out General Hillyer as
fat az Grant-one Of whose staff officers Hill
yer once was-laid out Lee at Five Forks.
HiIlyer. however, ''comes up smiling" and
says he wasn't fighting against Wood at all,
but against Ellinger, the editor Of Hebrew
journal, who persisted in running as the re-
publican candidate after he had been with
drawn b; The TsJuss.'
In regard to the Assembly it must be graft
flying to the friends Of Thomas G. Fields to
learn that in the clean sweep the democracy
have made all over the city he has been
almost unanimously reelected. The Tamma-
ny candidates for coroners are all elected and
are all good men.
Taking it altogether, we hardly remember
an election in this city that has been attended
with 50 few heart-burnings after it was all over
as that which occurred in this city on Tuesday
last.

THE FRENCH DEFECTIVE IN POLITICAL SEN
TIMENT. The ex-Emperor remarks upon the
absence of the political sentiment among the
French people, and relates to the HERALD
correspondent circumstance illustrating that
view, to the effect that deputy, who was an
imperialist, and personally very friendly to
him, having died, successor was elected,
who, to the establishment of the electors who
had never thought of inquiring about his poll
tics, turned out to be republican. What will
the Tammany sachems think of that?

NAPoLEoN's MODEST MEANS AND WoRDs.-The
ex- Emperor says that he has some property in
Italy which was left him by his father, and
that his wife has her private dowry and
jewelry, but that, with those exceptions, they
have nothing else. Modest in every aspect,
he does not speak of Eugene as the Empress
or the Regent, but as his wife. "When this
cruel war is over'' the modest couple will set
up their family altar in quiet way aud
enjoy, we hope, that calm serenity which
attends on virtuous deeds, an easy conscience
and sufficient competency.

WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM Pit Is
asserted and believed that from one to two
hundred thousand dollars were spent in this
city In the absurd effort to elect Ledwith to
the Mayoralty. The question is where the
money came from. Ledwith had none, Fox
not great deal, and O'Brien, whose enor-
nous fees as Sheriff might have enabled him
to act as banker, left the political concern
some weeks ago. Who can tell where the
money came fromp

TEE VANITY or FRENCH SOLDIERS is the ex-
PLANTATION which the imperial prisoner at
Wilhelmsh0he gives to the common assertion
OF the prisoners Of war in Germany that they
had been betrayed Poor fellows!" quoth
Napoleon, "they are naturally 10th to &C.
kno Wedge or even believe that they have
been conquered" The explanation is a salts
factory one and proves that Napoleon's mind
is still capable of taking in the situation and
tracing cause and effect.

No TREASON. -Louis Napoleon denies to
the HERALD correspondent that he made use
of the expression attributed to him-''Je suss
haAs." He characterizes the statement as
pure invention, like 50 many others but he
accounts for it by tracing it to a remark which
himself and his ministers were very likely to
have made, to the effect that they had de-
ceived themselves as to the relative strength
of the French and Prussian armies. He
charges none Of his officers with treason, but
says that he had often warned Marshal Mel
and Marshal LebGuf that they could not COM
pete with the Prussan military establishment
These were the receptions that he had found
fault with, the responsibility for which was
more or less shared by all of them, and which
had led to the present disastrous results.
