THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION meets
in Rochester to- morrow to renominate, In all
probability, the old State ticket, which has
been in power for the last two years. There
is nothing new or interesting connected with
the action of the Convention, except in regard
to the position it may take on the question OF
the European war. Whether it will favor the
French republic against the German monarchy
and retain the Irish vote, or the German mon
archy against the French republic as a bid for
the German vote, or whether it will favor both
parties, as the Republican Convention did, or
neither party and 60 in only on the old home
issues, is really the only question at all in
doubt.

GONE TO ToURs-The government, except
Favre, of the French republic. We have q
despatch Of the 18th from that city which
says that ''the foreign ministers left Paris yes
terday in haste, having been informed that a
serious attack was to be made;" that s'they
arrived in this city to-day" that ''the govern
ment here receives assurances from every quar-
ter that the people are arming and Fastening
to places of rendezvous" and that IN.
Theirs is expected here on his way (from Lon
dom through Switzerland to Russia" Tours
is a fine old city on the river Loire, one hum
dred and twenty-seven miles southwest OF
Paris, and may be considered safe from any
invasion of the Prussians, whatever may be
the extent of their ravages in the departments
Immediately around Paris. But what means
this removal of the government to Tours with
the advance of the Prussians upon PARISH II
means that the government Is not certain that
the Prussians can be kept out of Paris, and that
in view Of the event Of their entry within the
walls it is best to have the government and
the diplomatic corps in some safer place.

The NEW GUERILLA PARTY-The temper
ance or santi-dramshop party"-headed by
Wendell Phillips, of the old exploded abolition
guerilla party. This temperance party, from
Massachusetts, to Montana, appears to be re-
solved to cut in between the republicans and
democrats, and to cut out the one or the other
Of these parties, wherever a knock-down blow
can be given ON the rum question. Strangely
enough, too, the republican party, which as
sumes itself to be an enemy Of the grog Shops
is likely to suffer most from these ''anti-dram
shop" guerillas, from the attempt of this party
to carry water on one shoulder and rum
on the other. AS for the democrats, in going
''whiskey straight" they avoid all these tenn
perance complications.

THE EXPLOSION AT LAoN by the firing of
the magazine after the place had surrendered
and the Prussians had entered the gates does
not prove treachery on the part of the French
commandant, for he had nothing to do with it.
What it does prove, however, is this-that the
old self-sacrifcing spirit which was conspicu-
ous among the French veterans on the battle
fields of the first Napoleon still exists. The
men who fought under the imperial eagles,
from the veterans at Austerlitz to the Old
Guard at Waterloo, cared little for their own
lives provided they made the enemy suffer.
To charge battery with unequal forces and
meet death at the cannon's mouth, to face
almost single-handed squadrons Of infantry,
and perish in the shock, were not uncommon
feats with the veterans of that time when the
fortunes Of the field were lost. In the same
spirit the veteran of the Alma fired the maga-
zine at Laon. What did he care that he was
blown into eternity 80 that hundred or more
Prussians went with him? His act was unjus-
tiiable, it is true; contrary to the rules of
humanity and civilized warfare, and might, if
encouraged, establish dangerous precedent
of individual heroism; but it shows that self
devotion remains prevailing element in the
French people, and permeates through France
far beyond the old sergeant at Laon.
The New York herald., 1870-09-20

The siege of Strasbourg has no. yet termi-
mated, the garrison still refusing to surrender,
although the walls are reported to have
been reduced to shapeless masses and
the citadel is reported to have been
preached. One horrid feature in this siege
is that the Germans, in opening one Of
the approaches, have had to pierce burial
ground, where they were working among cof-
fins and skeletons. As to Metz, the French
force under Marshal Bazaine seems to be as
completely shut in from the outside world as
if ii were lost in the interior of Africa. A
balloon freighted with hundreds of letters from
there is said to have been picked up, and in
formation thus obtained that the army was
well supplied and had been victorious in every
fight up to the 3lst of August.
The French government, in addition to the
other difficulties of the situation, is troubled
with anxiety about the red republicans, who
are threatening another revolution and the re-
vivsl Of the terrible deeds of the first repub-
lie. It is said that the citizens of Paris re-
gard the reds as more dangerous than the
Prussians; and they would be certainly justl-
fed in preferring, as it is said they do, the
Prussian rule to communism. France is thus
surrounded by difficulties and dangers on all
sides. What the result will be no man can
predict. The people of France, however,
fighting for their capital and for their national
existence, ought to be victorious over all enc
mics, foreign and domestic.

THE GREAT MYsrERY.-'rhe body Is
to die. No one who passes the charm
ed boundary comes back 70 tell. The
imagination visits the land Of shadows
sent out from some window Of the
soul over life's restless waves-5ut
wings Its way wearily back without a
life leaf in its beak as a token Of merg-
ing life beyond the closely bending
horizon. The great sun comes and
goes In the heavens, yet breathes no
secret Of the ETHEREAL wilderness. The
crescent moon cleaves her nightly pass
age across the upper deep, but tosses
overheard no signals. The sentinel
stars challenge each other as they walk
their nightly rounds, but we catch no
syllable Of their countersign which
gives passage to the heavenly camp.
Batween this and the other life, there
q q great gulf fixed, across which nell
ther foot nor eye can travel.
