The CaptulatiOn of Metz has seemingly
driven the French Provisional Government
into temporary insanity az great as that which
ensued after the fall of Sedan. Bnt TO curse
Bazaine and the Empire, as the Tours Gov
eminent is doing, will not establish the Re
public, nor expel the invader The details by
our special correspondent of the surrender of
Metz, which we publish on the first page, es-
tablish very clearly, in showing the desperate
straits to which the French army was
reduced by the vigilance with which
the Germans maintained the blockade
OF the city, that the surrender was
forced by starvation, not brought about by
intrigue and treason. Bazaine is less a Traitor
than Blunderer; his oiiense was military, not
political, and consisted more in being caught
in the trap two months since than in ncgo-
tiating himself out of the meshes two days
ago. The natural effect of the surrender is
not TO be diverted by prOclamations which
at once bewail the fate of France and curse
the Empire that was the cause Of her rpin
II was thought that the terrible lesson
of Sedan had taught the French
rulers wisdom, but the first action TO which
they were melted by the disaster at Metz in
dicates that the dog star still RACES in France

Mayor Hall has issued the usual proclama-
tion offering a reward of $100 for the arrest
and conviction of any person who shall fraudu-
lently register his name as voter; buS IL
careful, lest it might frighten some OF
his repeating friends from voting at
least as often as Mr. James Fisk, jr.,
proposes to do, he adds, as a
saving clause, "The arrest and conviction TO
abe had and obtained under and by virtue OF
" the State laws, and on the proper certificate
"of the County District Attorney" The re-
wards which will be paid upon this procnma-
ton are not likely to prove very heavy
drain upon the City Treasury.

FJSK,.S $4,000 VOTES.

Our Shoddy aristocracy, bred of rascality on
rottenncss. has seldom portrayed itself more
strikingly than in Fisk, jr.s speech at the
Hoffman Ratification in Tammany Hail. where
in, after the supertuOus assurance that he
knew nothing of politics and cared nothing
about them, he proceeded:
at have never been able TO understand Why Tweed
has MT spoken TO about the 5000 abe-bOdied men
under me- upon the Erie road. I've wondered thousand
times why they did MT speak il right ont to me tha thcy
wanted the votes OF those men But never Voted the
Democratic ticket was MT going to move in the matter
II they would MT askme; only was drawn into TINS thihS
tonight by my desire to see;Ioffrnan elected"
Comments Jy The Tribunc.-What business has
this mushroom of the hour with the votes Of
the Twenty-Five Thousand free mechanics and
artisans employed on the Erie Railroadf IL
they receive money from It's income, do they
not honestly earn it and can he pretend to as
good title to his Millions as they have TO
their hundreds and tensf What claim has ne
oven 90 advise them in respect to votlngT
They are every way as qualified and lnteiii-
gent as he, and have trained themselves to
the regular, systematic discharge OF those
political duties of every citizen in a Free State
which he boasts of having despiscd and neg
lected. Suppose one of them were to enter
his gorgeous office and say, "Col. Fisk, you
"had better vote for Woodford for Governor"
would he not be rebuked as impertinentf and
what business has Fisk to dictate to them as
to their votes more than they have to dictate
TO himf Yet this maggot of the days COM
post talks as il he owned them just as he
would own drove of hogs he had bought,
and wonders why Tweed and Sweeny have MT
applied to him for their votes! We presume
it is because they are not fools, but know
human nature well enough to understand that
his coarse way of electoneerng is far likeier
to lose votes than gain them.

II is stated that the POstmaster-General will
give us in his next Report certain facts and
figures respecting the Frankng Privilege, one
of the most costly absurdties under which this
much taxed Republic groans. Last year there
was sent free through the mails matter which,
at the regular rates of postage, would have
brought into the Department between two and
three millions of dOllars-tOns of print which
nobody reads or is expected to read. An ac-
curate account of this during the last year
has been kept by the Postmasters. Now, II
Mr.. Creswel will take some measures to rem
edy the irregularities in the transmission of
the mails throughout the country, and In his
eagerness to reduce expenses to minimum
will not so lessen the working force OF the
Offices that the work cannot be done promptly
we shall be much obliged to him.

Before the Legislature of South Carolina con-

We learn from quarter entitled to full
rredit, that agents of Tammany Hall are trav-
rrsing the State with bogus naturalization
papers, which are left here and there in pack
ages and the faithful are expected to see
them used. Samples seen bear the seal of
both the NewYork County Court and the Su-
preme Court Of this District. Our friends
should be on the alert against the frauds OBJ
Qiously contemplated.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-31

Our Municipal lords do so much that de-
serves blame, with so little that we can ap-
prove. that we hasten to tender them our
hearty thanks for sending down from Murray
Hill to run for Congress in the district
whence THE TRIBUNE is issued so good a
representative of our City's original Dutch
stock as Robert B. Roosevelt, whom we know
and honor az clever journalist, thorough
sportsman, and genial gentleman. Though he
has at last succumbed to the Establishments
and put on the livery of Tammany Hall, he
has told truth enough ere now about Tweed,
Swecny, and Oakley Hall, to send them all to
State Prison; and we thank him for the
good he has done. The many voters down
town who do not know him may trust our
assurance that should Mr.. Roosevelt address
any public meeting, and some dirty creature
get up after him and attempt to utter filthy
personal TRADE against his competitor for
their favor Mr. Roosevelt would have him
promptly silenced, kicked out and the place
properly fumigated, before the business of the
meeting could proceed.
We state these facts not in the interest Of
Mr. RS canvass; for we agree with the voters
IN preferring for Congress that gallant Union
soldier and fit wcarer of an hOnOred Irish name,
Gen. MARTIN r. MCMAHON, who, however dis
family related to the great French Marshal,
comes of the same fighting stock, and inherits
The same grand traditions. We could not I'M
aglne that the men of his race could go back
on him. and we would by no means have them
do so. Boys work right on and vote for
your own Mcmahon, but reserve kindly
thought and "a rousing cheer for his chiyalric
and worthy antagonist!

The marvellous rate of increase which the
table shows will satisfy the expectations of
all but the Tammany knaves. No numbering
will suit them but one which hides their frauds
at former elections. They display strange
Inconsistency in driving people out of the
city by high taxes, and then complaining that
the population is no greater. But when were
Tammany's tools consistent?
