Tho Doublc.Headed Government Mt Paterson
No More-April Fools Ousted.
The Paterson municipal troubles we're virtually
ended by the unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court at Trenton yesterday. The case was on the
application for peremptory mandamus compelling
the Board OF Aldermen to admit Peter Kelly
as the representative OF the Eighth ward
until his successor was qualified, and to
recognize e. Mason "a City Treasurer
and G. 8. Hilton City Attorney until their sue
cessors were appointed by vote OF nine Aldermen.
THIS the republicans had refused to do, claiming
their eight members as O legal quorum, upon the
strength OF which they had appointed an entirely
government has been at dead lock since April,
and although there has been two complete sets OF
city officers, both filing their positions TO q certain
extent, still II Is only In the public schools that any
thing has really been done.
The Court granted the mandamus, and this de-
cision TO place and power all the democratic
city officers. The men OF APRIL who undertook to
run city government without any demand ON the
part OF the people for their services VIII now take
son WHO had heard or IL last night spread
the news ana the democrats were highly
elated, while the republicans canvassed
their immediate future prospects with gloomy
vlsages. The result IS not unexpected 20 those who
fully understood the case; but TO the republicans,
VINO nave maintained their position by the seizure
OF the police force, their present condition Is very
Illuminating. This leaves the Common Council a tie,
with the advantage IN the HANDS OF the democrats,
until they lit TO agree upon sucn others may
be proposed.

BISMARCK, BAZiIyE AND BOYER.

In very remarkable expose OF the motives that
,actuated Bazaine In his passive defence and ultl
mate surrender Of Metz, published BY the Journal
des De0dts the author-an officer in the army Of
che Rhmc-gives the following interesting account
OF what occurred at the interview between General
Boyer and Prince Bismarck when the former was
sent by Marshal Bazaine to Versailles with "a mis-
sion" to the Prussian Chancellor
The General introduced TO Prince Bismarck, after
q few formal remarks asked him what were his aims
and objects; In WORD. what he desired as the result
Of the war To this N. &c Bismarck replied very
frankly that his policy was most simple; that the
French might do as they please, that AZ for them
selves 1.-THE Germansl they were sure Of Paris Its fall
being merely question OF time" The French, took
Rome without InJuring Its monuments; the Germans

terIng into another tram OF ideas, pronounced the
following sen ence with no little warmth.-.T cannot
say what will beiall France or what Is the future
that awaits her; but do know this, that 1t will
rebound to her shame, to her eternal shame in all
time. In all ages ana in all tongues, to have aban-
doned her Emperor as she ola after Sedan The
stain which she VIII never wash ont Is the revolution
OF the 4th OF September" Finally returning to
what was peculiarly the object OF the interview,
the Chancellor repeated that ne would offer op-
position to the reconstruction of Cover nment by
Marshal Bazane and his army.
The author Of this article, which fills eight col
umns OF the Deoats, arrives at the conclusion that
Marshal Bazaine did not do his duty, or make tile
most OF the means OF defence at his disposal, be-
cause he allowed political considerations to inter-
fere with his military functions, and that by the
negotiations which Prince Bismarck allowed him to
carry on he became the dupe OF the latter, being
compelled 10 surrender without making final effort
on account OF the scarcity OF provisions and the
physical weakness Of his troops-the sole ann and
