Why tho French Government Rejected
the irmistlce.
ISpeSiAl dispatch to the World.


LONDON, November IA cores
pondent of the World had aconver.a-
ton to-day with the French Charged
Affairs at London. lie said the men,
beers Of the Government in Paris re-
jected the conditions made by Bis
marck because they are confident of
the ability of France to finally repel
the invaders, preserve all territory
and save the honor of the country.
France is now savagcly i'm earnest.
Every day she grows stronger and
nor conscious of her strength. The
Prussians can no longer get food and
forage by simply overawing the peo-
pie. They get nothing without fight
ing hard for il. As Winter advances.
Prussian difficulties i'm obtaining sup
plies will become greater, while the
armies of Bourbaki and Keratry will
have no trouble in receiving every
thing necessary. An attack upon the
forts defending Paris will scarcely be
possible before the Goth, and bonn
bardment of the city is not possible
till the forts are taken. The forts are
armed with more powerful guns than
any vet planted against them. The
Prussians have few guns of heavier
caliber than sixty-four pounds.
Should these open now, five guns OF
the forts would soon silence them, and
even should the forts be finally taken,
the grounds between them and the
enciente are honey-combed with
mines filled with powder ready TO be
exploded by electrice wires, and all
roads leading to the gates r defen-
ded by barricades of machinery con
structed with scientific skill, and
mounted with guns of the best de-
scription.
The whole number of men now
around Paris is eight hundred and
fifty thousand, armed, and have az
| rived alta fine state of decipline.

r,-rsn,y v-os n beautiful day. and

TUESDAY was a beautiful day, and
a great many farmers remained at
home and worked, instead of going
TO the polls. The saloons i'll Column
bia we're closed, and we did not see
a drunken man during the day. AT
the Columbia box the utmost deco
rum and quiet prevailed, and but few
persons were ccngrcgated around the
polls at any time. The negroes came
up to the polls in a hurried manner,
and after depositing their votes de-
parted as quickly as they came. One
negro voted two tickets, but il was
attributed to ignorance by the Judges.
At Spring Hill about twenty-five
Democrats did not vote. At Column
bia the total vote cast is seven hun
drcd and thirty-ive, two hundred
and forty less than than the vote
cast at the last election. The Radi-
Gals voted every maj in their ranks
almost, and at Spring Hill, we are
told, they never moved up to tho
ballot box so compactly before. This
will fully confirm the impression that
the Loyal Leagues are in active ope-
ration throughout the county. The
apathy i'm the Democratic ranks is
due to several causes : the confidence
of superior strength, aud the cares Of
the farm, the Worship and the house
hold. Tine dereliction of a plain du-
ty is none the less culpable, however.
Ii would be unfortunate if every far
mer and every mechanic was a bitter
partisan, but it is even worse for
them not TO feel sufficient interest in
governmental affairs to go to the polls
once a year. Such indifference is
always a source ofprofit to the Radi-
Gals. So great was the Indifference
among the people in the lower part
Of the county, no election was held in
the second district. \ number ofyO-
ters came to the polls, but they came
separately, and after finding nobody
else there, left Immediately for home,
so that there never was at any time
enough persons at the precinct TO act
as Judges.

1t appearing to me in the above case, from
the affidavit of the plaintiff, that the defendant
has left the State of Tennessee, SO that the Or
binary process Of law cannot be served on him,
and it further appearing that he has been at
tached by his goods. It is therefore ordered
by me that publication be made in the Column
bia HERALD, a newspaper published in the
town of Columbia, for four consecutive weeks,
that the said Dan Lawrence, col, appear before
me at my Office in the l1th Civil District of
Maury county, on the 18th day of December,
1870, and defend said attachment, or the same
will be proceeded with OK parte as to him.

STA. lie says when lie told Wilhelm
he had given full powers to the re-
gency, and with it alone negotiations
for peace could be conducted, he mere
~ delivered his own person into the
hands Of the King. and not France.
He told the King that, the war hav-
ing turned unfortunately, he could
not throw off the responsibility.
Nevertheless, he had only obeyed the
violently excited national feeling.
CAUsEs OF iii PRCssIAN SUCCESSES.
The pamphlet concludes as follow :
THE successes of the Prussians are
due to the superiority of their num-
beers, the rigorous discipline of their
army and the power exercised
throughout Germany by the principle
of authority"
ENFEEBLED AUTHORITY THE CAUSE OF
FRENCH DISASTER.
May u unhappy countrymen now
prisoners profit during their sOjourn
in Prussia by approaching all which
gives strength to the army, the pow
ers that be respected, the law oheyed,
the military and patriotic spirit DOM
mating over all interests and opinions,
and, to sum up, the army always re-
fleets the state Of society. When au-
thority was exercised France was
strong and respected and the constitu-
ton of the army presented a remarka-
BILE solidity but when excuses of the
tribune and the press were permitted
they enfecbled authority and introdu-
ced everywhere a spirit.of criticism
and insubordination, the army
felt the effect Of it 56d grant That
the terrible damn now enacting
may serve as aNesson for the future,
and that our c0antry may rise again
from the catastrophe which now over
whclms her.

The Peace Negotiations Broken on.
lWorll's Special ]

Worlds Special
VERSAILLES, November 6.-The
Provisional Government has finally re-
jectcd the protocol agreed upon by
Theirs and Bismarck, although pre-
viously they signified their approval.
Theirs has received orders from Paris
to notify Bismarck that his conditions
could not be accepted, and to return
to the capital Immediately. The
cause of the rupture is believed to be
the persistence of Bismarck in insis-
ting on guarantees for the cession of
territory. The war goes on. The
Prussian Ambassador at London
says the struggle will continue all
Winter.
