The DECAY OF METZ.-The French inhabi-
tants OF Metz evidently do not take kindly to
German rule. A German census lately taken
shows that the population since the war has
diminished about fifteen thousand. Before
the conflict with Germany Metz had a popula-
ton of forty-tye thousand. and a reduction of
that number by one-third makes very percep-
tlble difference in the prosperity of the city. Ii
IL not probable that the decrease is going to stop
mere. Neither can II be expected that the gap
thus occasiOned will be supplied by German en-
igrauon. The German emigrant, as a rule de.
slres more stable home than that which can be
anorded him in the newly acquired territory,
and the United States holds out more subst antial
Inducements TO him to emgrate than a resi-
dence on French soil. Besides, il is not quite so
certain that France will not within few wears
make an attempt to reclaim all she has lost in
the disastrous campaigns of 1870 and II,

him when asleep, and he rested comfortably
yesterday. The mayor and chief of police
have visited him and gained from him such
facts AS may facilitate them in the effort to Sc
cure Mara. On Monday afternoon the wounded
man was considered by his friends in critical
condition. Fever set in and his pulse was

symptoms had abated, and at 10 O'Clock last
evening, when his physicians were in attend

which the members of the old whisky ring and
many of the political thugs in Philadelphia are
implicated.
