BAZAINE.
Continuation of his Trial-The BarshaPs
Testimony before the Tribunal.

PARIS, October 1.-THE trial of Mar
shall BaZaine was resumed to-day The
attendance was larger than on any day
since the opening. The president OF
the court began his examination of the
accused by stating that he should con-
slider that the prisoners responsibility
commenced with the twelfth of August.
He, however, put several questions in
regard to the events before that date.
In reply 10 questions concerning the dis
aster of Forback, Bazaine said be
had no knowledge that orders were
given to the generals direct. He
was present at the council of
war held by the emperor on the ninth of
August. 1t was then resolved that his
army should be brought to the walls of
Metz, and the movement in that diree-
ton began on the eleventh. After
reaching the city he received no orders
to obtain more ammunition, and COM
planned OF the carelessness of the intelli-
gence service. He did not receive pre-
else information of McMahon's situa-
ton until the thirteenth, and orders to
throw a bridge across Noselle reached
him only the day before. He denied
that be could be held responsible for
the delay and subsequent failure
to destroy the bridges to pre-
vent the enemy's pursuit. Tele-
graphic dispatches were read showing
that BaZaine intended to eounteract
flank movements of the Germans, but
the emperor prevented him from car
rying out his plans. The marshal in
answer to further questions, especially,
concerning the fifth of August stated
he agreed with the emperor to march
to VerduD, but delay was caus ei
by the battle of Barny, and he
was otherwise hindered. He wss
unaware that the emperor intended
to depart from Metz. He declared pos
itively that the emperor left no special
orders. 1t was well understood, how
ever, that in event of strong resistance
the army was to remain at Metz a few
days, at least, and not go beyond Yer
dun in any case. After the battle of the
sixteenth LOboeuf and Conrobert agreed
with him that it was impossible TO ad-
vance. Responsible officers in
formed him that his supplies
were insufficient. He declared that he
gave Carnobert all the aid be asked at
st. Privat. He blamed L'Admirault for
not calling up reserves. In justification
of his conduct after the eighteen of
August, he cited the orders he had re-
ceived TO be cautious. The accused be-
trayed much excitement at the begin
ming of his examination, which was
long and searching.

KAISER AND POPE.
Correspondence Between Emperor Will
liam, Of Germany, and
Pope Plus.
The Question of Obedience TO the Civil
Power MaiBtained by William.

/ BERLIN, October 15.-The correspond
ence between the pope and Empero
/ William is officially published. Th,
pope writes, August 7th, that the meas
/ ureS OF his msjesty's government ain
at the destruction Of Catholicism. anC
he is unable to discover the reason 10,
such severity, being informed and be,
neVing that the emperor Is averse to tht
increase or continuance Of this harsh
policy. He points out that measures
injurious TO the christian religion only
tend to undermine the throne. He
speaks frankly. 81 in truthfulness, TO all,
as 1t Is his duty, and says all the bapi
tlzed, even nOn-Catholics, belong in a
certain sense to him. He cherishes the
conviction that the emperor will adopt
the necessary measures; and concludes
by praying to God to be merciful to the
emperor and himself.
The Germ m emperor replies Septem-
Der 81, rejoicing at the opportunity to
correct the error relating to German af-
fairs. IL the pope was truthfully in
formed he would be aware that the
government cannot act against the ap-
proval Of a sovereign. The emperor
deeply regrets that a portion Of his
catholic subject priests have organized
party watch is engaged ia intrigue
against the State, disturbing the relig-
iOus peace to the extent of open revolt
against existing laws. He points to the
indications of similar movements in
other parts Of Europe and in America,
and declares that he will main
tain order and law so long as
God enables him to 90 so even AGAINST
the servant of q church which he sup
posed acknowledged obedience to secu-
lar authority as s commandment Of God.
This doctrine of obedience, however, he
regrets to see so many priests In Prussia
disown. He expresses q hope that now
the pope has been in formed of the truth,
be will use his authority TO terminate
the agitation, which he declares before
God has no connection with religion or
truth. He takes objection to the pope's
remark about non-CathOlics, and in con
cluding says; The difference of belief,
however, should not prevent-our living
in peace.

CHIC0F.
Death Of Colonel ID. c. SaWin-A Good
Man Gone TO His Rest.

I From an Occasional Correspondent
/ CHICoT, ARK, October Is, 1873
/ CotempOrary with the terrible epidemic
/ that of late has broOded over Memphis
like destroying angel, your neighbor-
/ ing little city of ChicOt has not escaped
/ the visitation of disease, which, al
though not pronounced genuine yellow
| fever by learned practitioners, is, never
/ theless, as fatal in its effects. For
several weeks there has been disease
prevalent among as, called by the doc
tors, malignant type of biIlious-fever,
which has taken away several Of our
worthy citizens; and among those
whom sn all-wise Providence in his in
finite wisdom saw fit TO remove from
among the living, it becomes our pain
ful duty to record the name of
COLONEL D. c. sAwIN.
Yesterday was a sad day In Chicot.
The citizens of the city and surrounding
country, irrespective Of color, turned out
in funeral procession to pay the last
tribute of respect TO their dead friend.
The coffin was lowered to its "cold and
narrow home" with appropriate reli-
giOus services, during which many an
eye offered its tear to the memory Of the
uE1G. ODlOu6l CaMlu WAS 6lAlN-IOlaE
years of age at the time of his death,
and although the scar and yellow
lesf betOkened him an old man, yet he
was remarkable for his indOmitable
energy and perseverance; with an IN
hinohing devotion to the prosperity of
ChicOt and the welfare of her people
His hand was ever ready to assist
he needy and comfort the distressed.
As contractor for the building of the
Mississippi, Ouschita and Red River
railroad, and Little Rock, Pine Bluff
and New Orleans railroad, he has strug-
gled with manly courage against the
financial embarraSsments that for sew
eral years surrounded the affairs Of
these roads; and just at the time when
the prospects looked so encouraging for
their early completion we behold him
laid low in death. 1t will be a long
time before our city fully recOvers from
the shock il has just sustained; and
when the vacancy is filed may it be by
one in whose breast there beats heart
half so noble, kind and generous as that
of the late Colonel d. c. Sawin. c.

THE FEvER YEsrERDAY.

The official mortuary report shows al
increase Of one over the total Of the day
before, but the deaths from yellow-fevel
are the same. The figures are, forty
one from yelIOw-fever, eleven from
other causes; total, fifty-twO. The
weather is still warm, and therefore
favorable to the spread of the disease.
We are not surprised, then, to learn that
within the past twenty-four hours quite
number of new cases have been re-
P1r ted. These, a few ofthem, Rrein Chel-
sea, but most are in south Memphis, in
the more denseIy settled portion of the
city. There, we hope, to-day, Inspector
yO'Bannou viii make his appearance,
especially below Linden street. And
we would suggest that the committees
OF the several relief bodies make it
their special business to canvass
that portion Of the city thoroughly. In
deed, if concert Of action could be had
il would be an excellent idea to can
vass the whole city and suburbs, and
give the public even an approximate
estimste Of the number and residences
Of al the yellow-fever cases. By this
lfe board Of health would be greatly
facilitated in its efforts after efficient
and timely labor. But whether this be
done or not, We would urge upon our
citizens generally to be careful as to
their mode of life, be temperate in all
things, clesnly and cheerful, and con-
tinus the plentiful use Of disinfeetants.

NOBLE EXAMPLES.
We Thank the Merchants Of COfCeeVille

From the Mississippi Central.l
We sre pleased to learn that the good
people, both Of Water Valley and Cof-
feeville, have raised contributions for
the relief of the sufferers in Memphis.
This is certainly cOmmendable spirit
and speazs well for the christian charity
OF these benevolent communities. We
are glad also TO chronicle the fact that
many Of the merchants of Water Val
lev purchased their fall and winter goods
in Memphis, and that all the merchants
of Cofeeville, without an exception,
gave 70 our suffering neighbOrs of the
Bluff City the benefit of their entire
patronage in laying in their stocks this
falL. But it is a consolation to Memphis
that our country merchants have lost
nothing IN this hour of need, in sUs.

Memphis is struggling amid so much

columns, have so persistently urged a.
