LOngfeIlOW and BaSSett.

The great race at Saratoga on the 10th,
i'll which Longfellow because of an acct
dent Gas his friends claim was defeated is
described as follows:
The Saratoga cup, two and quarter
miles, was won by Harry Bassett, beating
Longfellow. Time $3.50. Harry Bassett
won by length. The betting at the start
was $500 on Longfellow to $3.50 against
Harry BaSsett.
The start for the cup took place at the
head Of the stretch. For the first quarter
Harry Bassett lead Longfellow one length,
and as they commenced the two miles
Defender, being four lengths behind, and
never after in the race. LongfellOw, from
the quarter turn to the finish, ran and
Tapped on Bassett, but only reached Bas-
sets head on commencing the last mile,
finally being beaten but one length after
running one of the gamest races known,
and in remarkable short time. 1t is said
Longfellow was badly cut in the leg from
one of his plates turning.

Row the Germans Invested Paris.

From recent work of Gen. w. b.
Hazen giving his experience and oosef'a-
ton OF the operations of the German
armies about Paris, we take the follow
ing interesting account of how the invest
ment of Paris was made
1.-THE posting of the investing line is
novelty to an American officer, ana yet
there is wisdom displayed everywhere.
There is, in fact, no investing line at All,
but a zone of occupation about five miles
in denfh. When the Germans approach
ed Paris, the French quickly retired with
in the circle of investing forts. The Prus-
slams have approached this circle within
about a mile, and have judiclOuSly posted
a picket line around the city. These picket
p0sts. secure from needless exposure to the
fire of the forts, are called advanced posts,
and are so situated that from them can be
seen all that occurs between them and the
enemy, and between the adjacent posts.
We find single man at one of these points
of observation, who watches everything,
peeping over wall, through a window,
or out from the bushes. Not far away from
him, and also out of sight, are two or three
comrades and mounted picket ; one or
two hundred yards to the rear is o platoon,
generally concealed in some garden or
walled yard, and a half mile farther back
is the regiment, comfortably quartered in
a little village. If we go on we soon find
larger bodies of troops, but the main force
is stationed well toward the outer portion
of the zone of investment. The regiments
in the front are replaced by others from the
rear every three days, while those in the
rear are so disposed rs to concentrate Oh
any threatened point in their front on very
short notice. and the posting is such that
two army corps, or sixty thousand men,
can be massed on any position before the
French can reach it. The regiments in
front keep their belts on, while those in
the rear are comfortably established in the
deserted villages and towns. So thorough
is the discipline and complete the subOr-
dination, that no man wanders from his
company rendezvous beyond the sound of
his bugles.

Campaign Notes.

In Georgia they are boiling Greeley by
counties, as see this from the Atlanta Sun
of the 18th "The Greene county Democ-
racy met OH Tuesday and elected dele
gates to the State Convention, with in
structions to vote for the nomination of
James M. Smith. They repudiated the
platform and nominees of the Baltimore
convention but left Democrats to vote
as they please"
The Atlanta Sup Democrat of the 18th
says: The following is an extract from a
private letter from a well known citizen of
Georgia, written from Philadelphia on the
18th inst: The adoption of the Cincin-
matt platform IS giving universal dissat-
d" isfaction up here.n
The Washington Chronicle of the 18th
says "From old Berks county we have
this cheering statement: can hear of
no Greeley Republicans in this part of our
county. The Democrats will not poll their
full vote for him. A well-informed Dem
ocrat told me to-day that two thousand
Democrats in this county would stay away
from the polls. He thought Grant would
carry the county over Greeley"
"There are more than hundred Demo
Gratis in this town." says the Ogdensburg,
IN. W Journal, "whO have never waver-
ed in their devotion to their party, who
openly denounce the Baltimore candidate,
and declare they will never support him."
The GreenpOrt Republican Waterman
and the Port Jefferson Independent Press,
the most influential of the four Democratic
newspapers published in Suffolk county,
New York, refuse to advocate the election
of Greeley and Brown.

A Charge Which Cannot be Denied.

The Cleveland Daily Leader reminds
the public of the fact which ought not to
be lost sight land which is of some infer
est in its bearings on the present political
contest:
1.-THE New York Tribune, which was
and is now, under the supreme editorial
control of Horace Greeley, accepted from
Tweed, Connolly, Mayor Hall q Co., a
New York City advertising contract, rang
ing from $4,000 to 100000 per annum
with the tacit understanding that the T'j-
611le was to say nothing about the gigantic
expenses of the city government and
frauds of the above named managers. The
Tribune kept its part of the contract till it
was compelled to speak out by the tremen-
doUs force of public opinion, six weeks af
ter the Times made its expose of the fact
that the Tammany Ring had stolen S20,-
100000 from the public treasury. Mr..
Greeley, as q Tribune stakeholder, pocket
ed his share of the bride. is it any wonder
that the Tammany thieves, Tweed, Con
molly, Sweeny, Hall, Brennan, Wood and
the rest, should have celebrated the nOmi-
nation Of Greeley with rejoicings, as they
did yesterday ?"

Mr.. Summers Position.

Special Dispatch of the Cincinnati Gazettel
WASHINGTON, July 15.-To meet the
difficulties expressed by Mr.. Sumner in the
way of his pronouncing himself for Gree
ley-namely, distrust of the Democracy in
regard to the fair treatment for the negroes
"a letter signed by near hundred people
has been prepared, asking his advice.
Those who send it are understood to be in
the Greeley interest. Mr.. Sumner has not
however, as yet determined on the nature
of his reply, nor has he decided what
course he will pursue, as he informed Sen
atOr Wilson to day that no one had receiv
ed any authority to speak for him or even
to indicate his position. His hesitation is
affecting the Greeley men more and more
seriously every day, and i'll view of the ex-
ceeding uncertainty of his position, some
of them have begun to ridicule him so far
as to suggest that he be placed in charge of

Republican State Convention.

At regularly called meeting OH the 10th
