The Terms ofthe Capitulatl0n Metz.

LONDON, Oct. 0.-A special CORE
spondent at Metz telegraphs to-day as
follows "My telegram ofthc Goth left
the capitulation unfinished. On the
evening before, the German Chief-of-
Staff had left Frasicallie very much
discouraged, scarcely hoping for any
agreement, as the French appeared in
tractable and obstinate. Nevcrthe-
less l knew from private sources that
Metz could not hold out. At noon
Bazaine sent Prince Frederick Charles
an autograph letter, asking another
conference, and accordingly the Ger
mans sent General Stieckle, Chief-of.
Staff Of the Second army, and Count
Waurtensebler, Chief-of-Staff of the
First army, to F~rasicallie once more.
The interview lasted three hours, and
finally resulted in the conversion of
the French commander to the main
points of the German terms. The
first. difficulty was concerning officers
keeping their side arms. on which
Bazainc insisted. 1t was finally re-
ferred to the King, and conceded by
him in a dispatch received at 3o'cleck
on the 9th. BY agreement the con-
ference resumed early the same MORN
ing, and lasted till 8 in the evening,
when the capitulation was signed for
the absolute rendition Of Metz and
all the Notifications, stores and mu-
nitions. On the 18th, Major Laud-

When the voting Democrats q
this County were in a hopeless nj
nority, they took but little intcre1|
in elections. They could not hope q
elect men of their choice, and they
made but little efforts to reduce the
Radical majorities. And now that
the Democrats are overwh elmingly
in the mrjoritys q similar apathy, pro-
duced by different causes, possesses
them, and threatens 10 bring defeat
upon them. Let Democrats bestir
themselves, and put on action. But
while We thus urge our friends to Ia
Dor for the success of the Democratic
party, we desire to lift our voice
equally as strong against rows and
disturbances on the day Of election.
In the light Of experience. to use the
language of the Banner, we may rea-
sonably expect that the most trivial
dispute is liable to be tortured and
magni1ed into a carnival Of blood,
for the purpose of intimidating the
traditional "1oyal" voter who is al
ways more loyal" just about cleo
ton times than at any other. We
trust that every community will
bravely maintain its good order and
decOrum, and suffer no cause, no mat
ter how irritating, to betray them in
to any momentaay ebullition of pas
sion, which their opponents might
turn to political advantage, or add to
the accumulated testimony which the
reconstructionists are busily collect
ing for the next session o fCongress.
Let US offer no pretext and thus an.
ticipate the designs Of the political
tricksters, who are certainly medi-
tating another revolutionary coup, by
means of which they hope to secure a
new lease of ofice and profit. Lett the
people exercise forbearance every
where, and let US have a quiet elcc-
ton all over the State.

The Knoxville Chronicle states that
proceedings were instituted in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court on the 22nd inst,
by Z. c. Camp, District Attorney, against
Hon. A. o. P. Nicholson, Chief Justice,
and Thos. A. r. Nelson and j. l.. T. Sneed
Judges of the Supreme Court of the
General and Reporter, ON the ground
that they are holding office i'm violation
of the third section of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States. The information prays
that the parties shall appear before the
Judges Of the Circuit Court at Knoxville
on the second Monday of January next
to answer. The Chronicle says:
Process was yesterday Saturday
served upon Chief Justice Nicholson,
Judge Sneed and Attorney-G General
Heiskell. Judge Nelson was not at home
when the Marshal called.
"The news that the proceedings had
been instituted spread rapidly and caus-
ed much discussion and comment among
the bar and citizens.
at is probable that in view of these
proceedings the court will adjourn and
Court.
"Should the officers be held ineligible
under the fourteenth amendment, some
important questions will arise under the
recent enforcement act passed by Con-
gress. In that it Is provided that the
candidate receiving the nets highest vote
to the ineligible officer shall be entitled
to his position"
The last paragraph explains the ami
mus of the proceeding. 1t is an effort to
place Wisener, the Radical candidate for
Governor, Wheeler and Hawkins on the
Supreme Bench. The people would not
elect them, for they got less than 1900
votes out of about $4,000 cast, but what
care the Radicals for the will of the peo-
pie if they can accomplish their purpose
'by hook or by crook?" Bot they will
find this a hard road to travel, as we'll as
that before the people. They must first
GUST the occupants, aud this will have to
be done over a Presidential pardon and
by the decision of the highest judicial
tribunal known tOthe Constitution of the
United States. And if they should &C
complish this, the question will then
come up, Can Congress override a State
law regulating a purely local matter?

The surrender of Metz has decided
how the war will end. That great
event makes the final success of the
French impossible. Courage, hero
ism, of the sublimest order, exhib-
tied by a few leading spirits, avail
nothing. Filled with disappointment,
and overwhelmed at every point by
the victorious Prussians, it was very
natural for the mercurial GAMBETTA
| and other leaders of the French Re-
public to dcnounce BAzAINE as a trail
tor for surrendering Metz, but there
is no doubt that he "~capitulated to
famine" to use the language of one
of his soldiers. The French will
proba bly, fight till they + complete
ly conquered, rather than cede any
French territory to the Prussians by
treaty. They are not in the habit OF
ceding away territory, and they do
not like it. 1t will certainly be more
i'm accordance with the genius and
history OF the French to fight until
they are powerless and helpless, and
have their territory wrested by force
from them by The cOnqucror, than to
cede it away by treaty. The leaders
and people of the Confederate States
chose rather to fight to the bitter end,
and lose thousands Of precious lives
her jcwels-in useless battles, than
acknowledge by treaty that they were
whipped, conquered, and ask for
mercy. And the Confederate soldier
and Confederate women feel all the
prouder of the memory of those four
years of gigantic bu~tincfectual strug-
gle for independence. No doubt the
French will do as LEE, DAVIS and
their soldiers did.

Dreadful story Of Prussian Cruelty.

IL il stated at Macy-le-Haut, ON the
authority of a staff officer of General Pr
card, Of the Imperial Guard, who claims
to have escaped through the Prussian
lines on the day of the surrender of Metz,
that on the day preceding, Wednesday,
there took place the most awful scene
ever witnessed in modern warfare. At
two o'clock in the afternoon compact
mass of. the unarmed people Of Metz
swarmed through the western gates Of
the city into the plain. They were of all
ages and ranks in life, and of both sexes.
and numbered nearly or quite ten thou
sand persons. At the head marched q
man and a women, the latter carrying a
white nag. In the rear were hundreds
of children all carrying little white flags;
behind them moved a strong body of
French troops, pressing them forward
into.'the plain. 1t is stated that these
unhappy people were expelled because
there was not food for them, andthat they
were thus moving forth solelyto seekth
means Of saving themselves from death
within the walls. As they approached q
Prussian orderly was seen to ride to
the front, ordering the outposts to fire on
the mass. When they came within range
the Prussians fired upon them. Still the
people moved on, the man and woman
in the front with the white flag moving
more rapidly. The man suddenly tell,
struck by q bullet. The woman, waving
her white flag, continued to advance, the
children meanwhile screaming most pit
eously. The fire of the Prussians was
kept up deliberately and steadily, as il
| upon an armed column. Thewoman fell
with her flag. The men wavered, for a
momen, { then turned and fed in the ut
most disorder, struggling, falling and in
volved in an inextricable confusion of the
dead and dying and the fugitives. Still
the Prussian fire grew. constantly hotter
The French troops advancing to the front
