PARIS, Oct. SIT is reported that when the
Assembly is asked to vote in favor of the res
toration of monarchy and the elevation of
Count de Chambord to the throne of Henri ",
M. Rangler will propose substitute that mon
archial principles be established, but that it be
left to the country to decide which monarchy is
preferred
Esaznine's Trial.
PARIS, Oct. In the Bazaine court martial
to-day the reading of Riyiere's report was con-
tinued. Riviere proceeds to show that the
means OF communication between Metz and
Paris were ample. BaZaine's refusal to COM
bne his forces with the other armies in the
field was criBinal The marshal is accused of
pursuing policy by which the enemy profted.
There is evidence that he even refused to assist
in the effort made TO provision Metz. Bazaine' s
inactiou is attributed partially to hesitation,
caused by the news from Sedan and Paris, and
partially to his secret negotiation with the enc
my. Whatever government there was in France
he should nave fought Tor 1t instead or listen
ing to the overtures of the enemy, receiving
their agent, Regnier, and plotting the restora-
ton of the Empire. He only thought of main
tanning the army in good condition to play the
political part he designed. Had Baza ne done
his duty by taking his army into the interior of
France leaving Metz to defend herself with a
garrison which could subsist on the resources
OF the surrounding country, Metz would have
held out till an armistice and Lorraine would
never have been ceded
M. Rvere continues: A foreign war was not
enough. Our unhappy country was condemn
ed to the horrors of civil war, and what did
Marshal Bazane do then? He united with the
enemy to overthrow the government of his
country.
The report condemns the marshalfor failing
to destroy the material of war left at Metz
while he was careful to destroy all correspond
ence which might compromise himself for FREE
quently receiving in person German officers and
generally for manifesting undue haste to CAPT
tulate to the enemy. The reading of til e re-
port was not concluded at the adjournment of
the court The hearing of the remainder to-
gelher with other documents touching Ba.
zanes arrangement of the artilery and com
misserat at Metz will probably occupy the en-.
tire week, and the examination of witnesses
will not begin till Monday next

Tsac ErweiI Bank Defa,catiOn.
LOWELL, Oct. S.-The examination of the
Merchants Bank was continued through the
night up to six o'clock this morning, aud soon
after Col, Needham left to fulfill other engage
ments for the day, and will return tomorrow,
to complete the examination.
President Hosford states they have arrived at
the condition of the affair sufficiently in great
measure to relieve their anxiety. If the state
ment of Pierce's account with the New York
banks is correct since the first of October, as he
thinks the defalcation will fall short of $70,-
600. and the surplus of the bank was $1,000.
Pierces bond is missing, the lock of the
Presidents department having evidently been
tempered with.
They deny having made an agreement with
Pierce to settle the irregularities, but have evil
IDENTIFY made some arrangement by which he
paid back money and bonds but transferred his
real estate. Gen. Butler is his counsel. He
can be arrested at any time by order of the ex-
aminer. He has evidently been carefully and
latterly legally advised i'll the matter. Over
100000 deficits was arrived at

Coughs Lecture,

City Hall was filled with a brilliant Assem-
blage last evening to hear and see the inimit-
able John B. Cough. who gave the opening
lecture of the NJ. L. A. Course. The lecturer
announced his subject as Snow and Then" or
the present aud the past. To attempt any re
port of this lecture is simply impossible To
attempt any outline even, is quite as imposs-
bic, for upon what can scarcely be called a
bread of thought Mr.. Cough strings together
morality, philosophy, jokes, passionate appeal,
colloquial story, bits of history, metaphor and
almost everything of which the human Ian
guage is capable crowding into the space OF
two hours probably more suggestive thought
than any other lecturer now upon the Ameri-
can platform. People hear Cough as much
through the eyes as the ears. To see Cough is
perhaps the proper thing to say. Every origl-
nation and improvement, almost, of the past
fifty years was glanced at and contrasted with
the centuries preceding Indeed. he seemed to
set the past fifty years on the one hand, and
the six thousand years of mans history preced-
ing the fifty years, on the other hand, and in
the contrast give higher credit to the half CEN
tury IN all matters of human development, and
in the power of mind over matter. Then he
told of happy and unhappy marriages, glorifed
old maids, said kind word for boys, denounced
Sabbath breaking. protested against the So
called reformers who would throw away the
Bible, and finally, launched into his favorite
theme Of temperance, in which he makes his
most telling points, and wound up amidst a
perfect outbnrst of eloquence. From the ut
terence OF his first sentence, to the last word,
he held tine audience entranced as few orators

There has been a good deal of horse
racing in different places this summer. A
few years ago. when an effort was made
to revive racing at this place, we spoke
of it's brutalizing tendencies, and the
kind of people attracted to races At a
horse race at Athens a short time ago, we
are informed that a gander pulling was
part of the amusement. A rope was
stretched across the track, and goose
tied to it by her feet, with her head
down. Her neck was closely shaven and
well creased Each person desirous of
taking a pull paid one dollar, and he
who could pull the head. off was to re-
ceive ten dollars. The racers rode around
rapidly, each taking pull as he came
under the game. 1t is said that the
screams of the tortured goose were most
piteoas to hear. We have no doubt that
the Christian church members of Athens
raise large sums of money every year to
send missionaries to convert the heathen
in China, Africa, &c.

Before justice of the peace in Chi
cago, last week, for the first time in the
State of Illinois, female lawyer con-
Quoted q suit, and won it besides. The
case was brought by a washer-woman
against a butcher who refused to evacuate
premises belonging to her and for which
he would pay no rent. When the trial
came off, the plaintiff being represented
by Mrs. Alta M. Hulett, attorney at law,
q young lady nineteen years old, who
was admitted to practice the law about
ten days previous. The butcher was rep
resented by male lawyer, who did the
best he could for his client The jury
returned verdict for the washer-woman,
after having been out for two minutes.
=, We clipped the above from one of our
exchanges, we do not now remember
which one. No doubt the woman lawyer
had the best side of the case, and that
was the main reason why she was so sue
cessful; but there is no reason why wo-
men should not make the very best law
yers, as well as doctors and preachers
One thing is quite certain, they could
not make poorer lawyers, doctors and
preachers, than some we now have of the
male persuasion.
