Tr,a, of Marshal Bazaine.

PARIS, October 30.--In the Bazaine til
al to, day NJ. Flahant, a messenger, testi-
fled that under the plea of capture by the
enemy, he had swallowed dispatch which
he was carrying from Thionville to Metz.
The dispatch was recovered and delivered
to the officers at headquarters in Metz on
the Goth of August, but was by them
thrown into the fire unread. Lieutenant
Nogues swore that he fruitessly attempted
to deliver the Bazaine dispatch entrusted
to him on the 23d of August by the En-
press. He admitted. after much preyarca-
ton, that he was also the bearer of the
dispatch to General Bourbaki.

Mr.. John d. Jones, of Tuckahoe town
ship, who was prominent candidate be-
fore the Republican nominating meeting
held at the court house, and who was de-
feated by the convention for the house ol
delegates by the substitution of another
gentleman, has gone to work for the state
and county ticket most nobly, unselfish as
he is. The amount of work which he is now
daily doing is unsurpassed by no other
Republican in the county, and perhaps
some of the candidates themselves are not
so active and effective in the cause as Mr..
Jones is for their success.
