Great crowds of people flock to hear Brown and Senator Schurs and other speakers on the Liberal ticket, while the opposition meetings are mea-gerly attended, except in those districts which are peopled mainly by enemies to the progress of Liberal ideas. Senator Drake has shrunk from debate with - speakers opposed to him, and in several instances postponed his speeches rather than give an opportunity to a Brown man to follow him." The Republican mass meeting to appoint delegates to the Congressional Convention, met in Memphis Monday night, about tiro thousand, principally negroes, being present. Owing to a division in regard to Smith and Munn, rival candidates, the utmost confusion prevailed a hundred, at least, being on the stage, each trying to speak. Knives and pistols were freely drawn. James Morrison, while attempting to use a pistol, waa fatally cnt with a razor. Finally the friends of Munn withdrew, and delegates were appointed, who were instructed to vote for General Smith. Letters have been received at Chicago from General Sheridan, who is still at the Prussian headquarters. He has witnessed all the battles from the "beginning of the war, and was present at the surrender of Napoleon. General Sheridan reports the Prussian army well organized and equipped, but expresses the positive opinion that neither the French nor Prussian soldiers are equal to cur own in point of intelligence ar.u skill in arms. Oar Remington breech loaders, he says, are far superior to tue unassepot or needle Iran He will remain at the Prussian headquarters, probably, until the close of the siege ot far is. A dispatch dated October 3, says: ''General Lee is somewhat improved, thongh he remains hopelessly speechless. His attack, paralysis, was sudden, and it ia said to have been due to an enervated constitution, the effect of exposure and fatigue during the late war. He spent a great portion, of the past summer and previous seasons at the hot springs for hia ill health, which recently has been worse. His heavy affliction is mourned nnt rail- hv the neoDle of Virginia, but the eatire South, and the sad announce ment that but little hope is entertained of his recovery will create a wide-spread and heartfelt sorrow. He has the best medical attendance the State can afford, and if science and the most careful nursing can accomplish anything, he may recover." A later dispatch says General Lee is recovering, and is pronounced out of danger. EUROPE. S.rtles at Hetz Bazaiae 14- heres U lfap!ea.

The following are the proposals for the settlement of the Roman question, made by the Italian Government to the Pontiff:1. The Supreme Pontiff shall preserve the dignity, the inviolability, and all the other prerogatives of sovereignty, and, in addition, that precedence over the King and the Sovereigns which has been established by usage. 2. The Government of his Majesty the King of Italy assumes the engagement to offer no obstacles on any occasion to the acts which the Supreme. Pontiff may exercise by Divine right as the head of the Church, and by canon law as Patriarch of the West and Primate of Italy. ' , 3. That said Government recognizes in the Supreme Pontiff the right of sending his nuncios to foreign countries, and engages to protect them so -long as they shall be in the territory of the State. '. 4. The Supreme Pontiff shall have free communication with all the bishops and the faithful, reciprocally, without Government intervention. He shall equally have the right to summon, in the places and manners deemed expedient by him, ecclesiastical councils and synods. 5. The bishops iu their dioceses, the parish priests in their parishes, shall be independent of every government intervention in the discharge of their duties. 6. They shall remain, however, subject to the common law, as regards crimes punishable by the laws of the Kingdom. 7. His Majesty gives up oil patronage of ecclesiastical benefices. . . 8. The Italian Government renounces all intervention in the nomination of bishops. 9. The said Government obliges itself to endow the Holy See with a fixed and tangible revenue, for a sum to be determined by common agreement. The Government of his Majesty the King of Italy, with the views that all Catholic powers and peoples may contribute to the maintenance of the Holy See, will open with the said power the fitting negotiations to determine the quota which each of them shall contribute toward the revenue referred to in the preceding article. 11. The negotiations shall likewise have free scope to obtain guarantees of the provisions established in the preceding articles. 12. On the basis of these conditions the Supreme Pontiff shall come to an arrangement with the Government of the King of Italy, by means of commissioners delegated for that purpose. There only remains to add a most important addition that the giving up of the Leonine City to the Pope is understood to have formed part of the plan in its practical working. THE POPE WILL STAY IN ROME. An interesting letter from a correspondent, dated at Rome, 26th ultimo, says that now the prospect is brightening of a reconciliation between the Pope and the King, there seems not the slightest probability that Pio Nono will leave Rome. Evidence is daily growing stronger that his Sanctity will accept the situation and make the best possible terms with the Italian Government. At the first meeting of the Junta in the Capital two days ago, General C adorn a, in his opening address, expressed himself in these-conciliatory terms: "The unity of Italy is finally accomplished, Rome once more becomes the Capital, and Victor Emmanuel, the soldier King, will be crowned iu the Capital. Who, in the prospect of suoh , a splendid event, would not feel enthu- siasm kindling within himself f Who is he who does not feel compelled to exclaim, God has truly blessed Italy! And will not the high Pontiff turn to bless this work f The august head of Catholicity will find in us the most loyal homage, the most profound veneration, the most jealons respect for the clerical body and the most secure guarantees for the exercise of his supreme spiritual power. Prejudice will disappear before eloquence fails, and divine premonitions will be dis-; pelled by the spirit of loyalty." At bis own request the Pope has a guard of Italian troops, who have charge of the police in the Vatican. He wanted to take bis usual weekly airings in carriage and on foot, but previous to Saturday he was persuaded from doing so by Cadorna. As it has been said already, he has expressed a wish to bless the Italian troops on the Great Square of San Pietro. . . f 11 - - ' 1 A number 01 measures lor tue internal improvement of Rome are nnder the consideration of the Council. A credit for a public loan will be opened for this object. From all this the people are led to believe that the power and dignity of the ancient Latin empire has been restored with the reoccupation of the capital. Cadorna has ordered that the Sovereign Pontiff shall receive the same military honors rendered to crowned heads, and that military honors shall also be rendered to the Car dinals. People are flocking from all parts of Italy to Rome. VICTOR EMMANUEL TO ENTER ROME. A correspondent, writing from Rome September 29, says: "It is reported there is a division in the Cabinet of Victor Emmanuel about the transfer of the seat of government to Rome, some being in favor of going there at once, while others are in favor of waiting and taking a long breath, after so great a surprise of good fortune. It is probable the former will prevail. The 18th of October is fixed for the visit of the King to Rome. It is probable General La Macmora will be appointed temporary Governor of Roman territory. His commission will include the power of making a final settlement with the Pope. It is thought that Anto-nelli will endeavor to smooth away the difficulties, as he will prefer a luxurious life at the Vatican to poverty on the Island of Malta. One thing is certain, the country will sanction no terms of settlement that do not involve the death and burial of central power. Priests and seminarians again show themselves in the street. The Pope has only once left the Vatican, to visit the hospital. PBUSSIA. Ia latrreatlas; Facta Hilherta I.aat Sight Of. Prussia is a Constitutional Monarchy, hereditary in the male line of the Hoheu-zollerns. The Constitution granted by King Frederick William IV, in consequence of the revolutionary occurrences of 1848, bears date January 31st, 1850, but has been considerably modified by nine royal decrees, made between 1850 and 1857. The Executive and part of the Legislative authority is vested in the King, who attains his majority on reaching the age of eighteen. In the exercise of the Government the King is assisted by a Council of Ministers appointed and dismissed by royal decree. The legisla tive authority the King shares with a representative assembly composed of two tftttamlkAra 41ia U.wAnh.na tvr ITnnaa of Lords, and the " Abgeordnetennaus," or House of Deputies. The House of Lords is composed of the princes of the royal family who are of .(TA ! the chiafa nf iiTtMii " mAdilltiaArl " princely houses ; the heads of the territorial nobility formed by the King and num bering about fifty; eight life Peers chosen by the King among the rich land owners, great manufacturers and national celebrities ; eight titled noblemen elected in the eight provinces of Prussia by the resident landowners ; representatives of the universities ; the heads of chapters ; the burgomasters of towns having above 50,000 inhabitants, and an unlimited number of members nominated by the King for life or for a limited period. The House of-Deputies consists of 432 members, 350 for the old kingdom and 82 for the provinces annexed in 1867. The legislative period ot the Chamber of Deputies is limited to three years, and every Prussian is eligible to be a member who is thirty years old, who has not forfeited the en joyment of his full civic rights through judicial sentence, and who has paid taxes during three years to the State. Every Prussian twenty-five years old, who is qualified to vote at the municipal elections of his place of douiicil, is qualified to vote aa an indirect elector, or " Ur-wahler." The indirect electors choose a direct elector of "Wahlman," who is selected from every complete nunber of 250 souls. The Representatives in the Chamber of Deputies are chosen by the direct electors' The Deputies receive traveling expenses and a compensation of $2 25 a day. which cannot be refused. Every Prussian subject is enrolled in the army on reaching the age of twenty, and serves three years in the regular army. He is then transferred to the reserves for four years and in case of war is liable to be called out in active duty. For the next nine years he is enrolled in the " Landwher" or militia, and if the occasion arises he is liable to be called upon for duty in that body. Even at the age of fifty he is not exempt from military duty but is then enrolled in the " Land-stnrm," or "home guard." On a peace footing, a Prussian regiment consists of three battalions, numbering 518 each ; in war, the battalions are increased to 1,002 each. Prussia proper contains 24,048,296 inhabitants ; the North German Confederation, including Prussia, 29,910,377 ; the population of the South Uerman States is 8,611,522 ; making the total population of all the countries under the military leadership of King William, 38,- 521,900. That of France is 38,192,094. THE WAR IX EUROPE. General Sheridan on the French Army Notes of the War. SHERIDAN ON THE FRENCH ARMY.

Suffice it to say that the French have been beaten in every engagement from Weissenberg np to the surrender of the Emperor Napoleon at Sedan, and there seems to be little left except it be the siege of Paris, and that will not save trance, it is possible that the French troops have not done so well aa I think they might have done on one or two oc casions which I witnessed, from the fact that the poor fellows found themselves so badly handled by their commanders tuat tuey could see no equivalent to be obtained by the sacrifice of their lives. All men like to have an equivalent for their labor, and especially is it so witn tne soldier, who wants success where many lives have to be sacrificed. The French generalship put this out of the question In every battle which I have witnessed. Everybody here has been very kind to me." NOTES OF THE WAR. The Emperor Napoleon can pass a lux urious life at Wilhelmshoehe if he is so disposed. His prison is called the Versailles of Cassel, and it has bars more costly and splendid than those of gold. In the first place, it is the most delight ful situation, being on the east slope of tne HaDitcntswald mountains. It has hot-houses, waterfalls, oheasantries and lakes. It has temples of Apollo and Mercury, and a Chinese village. It has a noble fountain, said to be the largest in the world, being 190 feet high and 12 feet in thickness. It has a colossal copy of the Farnese Hercules, so huge that nine people can sit in the statute's club. The turnitnre, carriages, servants, and other appointments are worthy of their sump tuous surroundings. Mere the "Prisoned Eagle" has everything on earth but liberty. The surrender of Strasburg has saved it from a great peril. It has been de clared on so good an authority as that of the Manchester Guardian, that two balloons, held in tow by suitable lines, were to be sent up over the besieged town to a height of one thousand feet. Thence they were to drop nitro-glycerine bombs into the powder magazine. A man named Walter is said to have been the inventor and the intending onerator of this Drettv infernal machine, which would certainly have been tried in a few days had not General Uhrich surrendered. Powder magazines are usually protected by case mates, or something like them, and the chance of a balloon, at the height of only three nnnarea yards, escaping a rain ot Chassepot bullets would appear to be small. The following are the estimates at Ber lin of German captures up to, but not in cluding those of Strasburg : One marshal, 39 generals, 3,359 officers, 106,950 privates, 10,280 horses, at least 56 eagles, 102 mitrailleurs, 887 field and fortress guns, more than 400 wagons, several pon toon trains, magazines, railway trains, and almost incalculable quantities of supplies and arms, ammunition, clothing, equipments, forage, and provisions. To these figures will soon be added the army and material of ttazaine, which will fully equal the "haul" made at Sedan. A .Bavarian officer tells tne following : " One very dark night a musket shot was heard on our line of outposts. Instantly the whole -camp was aroused, and everybody thought that the French had made a night attack upon us. After ascertaining the precise spot at which the shot had been fired, the commanding officer repaired thither, and questioned the sen try. 'Why did you fire, sirf Ta Fran- cai came crawling up to me on his hands and knees.' 'Did you challenge him before firing, and what answer did he make)' 'Yes, I did, but he only said Oui! Otii! and kept coming on; so I fired !' The ground in the vicinity was immediately and carefully patrolled, and before long the unfortunate 'Oui, Oui' was discovered, mortally wounded. He was raised upon his hind legs amid shouts of laughter, and proved to be a very fine and very wild boar ! " The expenses of the war are reckoned by Dr. G. Hirth as follows: Cost of the military action of Germany, 1,250 mil lions of francs; direct losses, 1,230 millions: indirect losses. 2.250 millions: war compensation for the reconquered terri tory, .Ulsass and LiOtnringen, especially Strasburg, 200 millions. Total, 4,930 millions of francs. The Frankfurter Nackr'whten announces that the civil authorities of Frankfort-on-Main have been requested by the Government to furnish a list of antiquities, pictures of statues, and other valuable obiacts. which were carried away from that city by the French at the end of the last and beginning oi tne present century. According to the ScMesitche Zeitung the French prisoners of war are not to be all confined in fortresses. As many of them as possible will be employed in executing public works, just as Napoleon I. used the Germans who had fallen into) his hands to construct new roads. The di rectors of the Royal Upper Silesian rail way have been already requested to state how many ot these prisoners they can take to aid in building the new lines from Breslan to Strehlen, and from Posen to Thorn and Bromberg. RE.TIOVAI, OF THE CAPITAL. The Views af the Haa. Tktau Ew. las, af Ohla. The venerable Thomas Ewing, in response to an invitation to attend i the Southern Commercial Convention,; ad dressed a letter to that body, in which he discussed the capital removal question in thiranjcr. It seems to us to be conclusive: . . A. iUI kUD Ut bU UlbtU. A DCO no good reason for it. It is well where it k a . n 1 f i. : i i r is, of easy access, and it connects differ ent sections of the Union which ougbt to be thae-anited, and if the agitation for its removal were ended it would steadily improve, so as to meet all the wants of a seat of government, which are not extensive, bat peculiar, It can never be commercial or. manufacturing, there- tore never a great city, which, like Lon don or Paris, could, in timed of excite ment, take the control oi the nation and overrule or compel governmental action. We can have in Washington no powerful Jacobin clubs or Lord George Gordon riots. For luxuries like these we must go into some populous city. But of this there is little danger. No statesman would consent to surrender such city to the United States, soil and jurisdiction, the last of which is absolutely essential, and thus make his btate at home ot sec ondary consideration. Nor wonld it be wise to give a spot of ground to the United btates whereupon to build up a city, it a city arise, the comparison also arises, and the State is the inferior within its own limits, and the removal of the capital would remove at once and take with it all its annoyances. its thieves, its beggars, its applicants for office, and the distressed families of re moved officeholders, to depredate upon and to live upon the charity of the new community. Besides, if we make the capital at once ambulatory, no capitalist will have faith enough in its permanence to build a good hotel within the first twenty years. The members of Congress and those that visit the new capital on business must be content to camp out. If removed, Fort Leavenworth would be the most eligible point. It is not quite far enough West to be central, but it would do. The barracks would answer for public offices, and the United States has soil and jurisdiction over space enough for camping ground. But waiving the inconvenience, it were well to sit down and count the cost and profit of the proposed centralization. All east of a line drawn five hundred miles west of Washington are better accommodated than they will be when the capital is removed to Fort Leavenworth or Omaha, and the more central point still, t ort ecotu west of that neutral line there are probably ten thousand persons who visit the seat of Government annually on business or pleasure, paying an average of fifty dollars each more railroad fare than they would pay if it were centralized, making an Aggregate excess of five hundred thousand dollars paid annually for railroad fare, because the capital is not central. ' To remove it the United States must sacrifice at least two hundred million dollars of property, worth an annual interest of ten million dollars twenty times the excess paid by visitors from the far West besides an immense sacrifice of private property, fixed there in the faith of the permanence of the capital ; and our noble edifice, of which every American traveler is proud, would slowly fall into ruin, its halls and rooms useless, except as a place for foxes to litter and snakes and toads "to knot and gender in." PERSONAL. Rev. Lewis Lake, of Ulster county, New York, has disappeared, leaving a wife and six children. Mrs. Benjamin Bailey, who disappeared at the same time, leaves a husband and seven children. In proof that Horace Greeley earns his salary of $10,000 a year, it is stated that he averages the year round about eight columns of matter per week; so that he receives less than $25 a column after all. Inasmuch as the Tribune pays $12 a column for its brevier copy to outside contributors, Greeley, considering his great reputation and long service, is not paid so handsomely as many suppose. The Centennial Anniversary of the death of Rev. George Whitefield was observed on September 30th, at Newbury-port, Mass., where that eminent clergyman died and was buried. His remains lie in a brick vault directly under the pulpit of the old South Church, and on the right of the pulpit stands a marble cenotaph with a mortuary inscription, recording among other things the fact that Whitefield, in a ministry of thirty-four years, crossed the Atlantic thirteen times and preached more than eighteen thousand sermons. A New York correspondent of the press writes : "The most fashionable marriages of the season are the simplest. Several of the ton have been married within ten days without bridesmaids or groomsmen, without cards, receptions or display. The parties drive up in a single coach, dressed in a traveling costume. The sexton takes the place of ushers. Unattended, the parties step from the coach to the altar. At the conclusion of the ceremony they retire to the coach, are driven to the station and commence their bridal tour. This sensible csethod promises to be popular and general." The successor of George D. Prentice, on the Courier-Jottmal, is a hardly less extraordinary man, though in a different way. Mr. Watterson is quite as blind as Prescott, the historian, and does all his work, an Incredible amount, by the side of an amanuensis, writing leaders, literary reviews, musical and social criticisms, paragraphs and other matter that enter into newspaper work, at the rate of three or four columns a day. He is, perhaps, the best amateur pianist in the country, playing the music of Schumann and Chopin exquisitely, but he got his musical education, like the rest, Dy the ear, having the music read to him, committing it to memory, and then going to the piano and playing it off. He is about thirty years old, quick in his movements, but reserved and cold. The Brooklyn Union thinks that Nils-son's fame is largely fictitious ; says that in Europe she was bnt a small star in the operatic firmament ; and runs on about her in this shocking way : It is easy to be concise and truthful about Nilsson. And, besides, it is safe to remember that we, the American people, are the very easiest and most complaisant of dupes. Advertising of the Strakosch and Gran and Bateman kind is sure to hook ns by the gills. Aoting on this, Strakosch had only to preach Nilsson to ns as he did, and the whole American musical and fashionable world (for to be musical is fashionable) rushed frantically to sacrifice dollars on the Strakosch altar. Nils-son is a simple, full-voiced songstress, with an intonation which is accidentally pathetic, but which is sad enough to set all the newspaper critics weeping like a wake of crocodiles. Her "spirituality" and her "picturesque pathos" are just about as real as the "spirituality" or the "picturesque pathos." or any other similarly incomprehensible attribute of any healthy yonng woman of blonde per-sonel and good digestion. None of the hypochondriac nonsense belongs to her which her unintelligible admirers wonld fain crodit her with, in the absence of any other marked property. Her voice is n more responsible or her aneoasa including Strakosch introductions to America, Swedish society serenades, and the impetuous exchange of young donkeys for her own sensible carriage horses than it is for her blue eyes and flaxen hair. She is no doubtralbett a sensible little woman, quite as much astonished at the . public folly as we are .and suite as grateful as she should be to Strakosch for sharing the advantage he has taken of it with herself. In short, ' Strakosch, the cunning angler, fishes for oatrageous and monstrously excessive profits, with Nils-son and her outrageously exaggerated attractions for bait, and the gudgeons of New York flock in outrageously turbu-lent and disorderly shoals to be hooked and turned to the SUaltoaeh-Nilsson account. And the gudgeons will soon see it. TT A RULED. BAKES SLITEE At Sand Lake, tf. Y, September 29th, by Eev. A. C. Bishop, Waltse B. Bakes, of Colombos, O., and Miss Ella C. Sm-tee, of the former plaoe.
