Jfo Peace-—-TJte Armistice Fallen
Through.
The news from Em ope this morning is
*“b!ae.” Tne negotiations for the armistice
havo fallen through, and the Prn-si ms say the
war ma-t go on all winter. They are clearly
responsible for this failure to stop tbe awini
struggle, and the world will so brand them. It
is vory ovident, now, that they aro not io ear
nest, and have not been, in their declarations
that they wished peace, hut not at the sacrifice
•of Frauce’s position as a fir.-t-cl.ss power.
They are not fighting for indemnity, nor to se
cure guarantees nguust future aggres-i..ns, hut
for spoiL They are hungering for F.eneh ter
ritory—for national aggrandizement The prool
is too plain for deaial, and we hope to bear no
*more of that sort of stuff. They are convicted
in the faoe of Cnristendom of a deliberate pur
pose to make Franco a dtseit, raih.-r ih»n
abate one jot of their greed for trench soil
We deplore this rc-ulr, but do not see what i-
left the Fteuch people bnt to Continue tbs fight
to the bitter end. If the nations of Em-op.
stand by and see France annihilated, n.iw, they
deserve the worst fate that c .n possibly befall
her, and we heartily hope every one of them

Since that time, tbe Constitution has been

below. Issi\s:
We bave been looking into tbe matter s*il-
fnntier. While it may lie nece»sary to is-ne
double tbe amount i.f bonds <o raise h»lf tbe
money, yet we claim that Governor Bullock*-
adui'n'htration has tironght -hr S ate’s creriit to
ilint low pitch, that Ibe S a'e’a paper is almost
wor'hess. That it should require a imil'on and
a quarter of bonds to raise a few bnndr. d thou

itunny th-t we have yet bad to tne damaging
results of Bullock rule

The Governor might, by implicate n of law.

tint the practical matter is that ont of tbo
money raised with that n illion nnd a quarter
of bo-.ds. only S2.10.000 or onr-fiftheif the face
value, of the bonds has come to the Treasurer's
hands.
But, there is an afterclap to this hnge is-ue.
We are informed that the experiment of bonds
ha- been repent, d on the same big scale.
Under tbe bill to is>no gold bonds to redeem

From the Jfi to York Tribune, 14 A J
Touns Thursday, November 3. 1870.
The journal* this morning publish extracts
from the Journal Offictel of Paris of the 1 t
lust, by which it is understood (hat 'he Paris
Government bad decided to accept au armistice,
and that Ftourens. who awaited a pre ex», raised
u temporary plot. The Journal Official aays:
The H-rtr 1 do Ville was invaded and a Com
mittee of Public S fety pr o aimed. The mem
tiers of the Proveional Government were de
tained several hours. About 8 o’cl *ck, Trochn,
Arag i and Ferry were freed from ihe bands of
tue rioters by a battalion of the Na'iona* Guard.
Favre, Garnier-Pnges, Simon, Gen Tamister
and tho Commander ot tne 100th Regiment,
were still held prisoners. It was not until 3
o’clock in the morning that these lamentable
acts were repressed by the interference of some
battalions of tbe National Guard, who rau npin
good numbers aud took po-ition around the
dotel de Villo, beaded by Ferry.
Tr.e couri-yarda wore occupied by the Mo
biles, while soveral datachmeurs of the Nation
al Guard and Carbineers were clearing-'he halls
from ihe mob. At tbe 8«m« time, tbe National
Guards occupying the square, tbe quays, and
the rue de Kivnli shouted e thsias'ic greetings
in honor of Trochu as he passed in frout of the
troops. The report o f the day's event* con
cludes as fellows:
With ihe armistice tendered are connected
other advunt«g*-8, which Paris can ea-alv cou
sirue witnout any nece-sity of presenting th- m
here; and now tbe Govt-romr-nr of the Ndtioual
Defense is upln aided with its acquir-scencn as

A Sockdolager.
Grant’s former Attorney General, Holir, or
Mass•chusetts, employed his leisure moments
during the Oanvdss just closed in Ma-*s-.chn-ettB,
in blackguarding the Democr tiio party. Iu a
speech at Roxbury, last week, he said: “If
once you let tbe Democratic patty get in, it will
never bo got out again without a civil war."
This afforded to John Quincy Adams an opening
for the subjoined sockdolager:
“I am very strongly iuclined to think that
the judge *asa prophet that time. I Believe
wyse'f that if once the people felt the blosmng
of areal D.mix-ratio Yule, they never would
w-iilii g!y submit to any other ; that if t,ha old
lheu ot the Sea who ride and choke them were
oismounted, they would never again submit
thrir necks to such usage without a fight. Aud
I nut lnoro inclined to agree with the judge,
from the fact that I have observed that even to
kti-p the people from throwing them as it is, it
lot-, been neectssary to keep a good many sol
di, r- in ten Sia e» of the Union. That iu North
C .'retina not even troops would snffioe. That
t’uilidr.lphia required companies of soldiers at

From the Galveston Fetes j
. Jast before sevea this morning, Henry Butch,
er. a neg*o servant at th« residence of Mr.
Ad rlph Fluke, shut and killed a G rmun servant
gill named Lena, Schwarzbach. Fiom the evi
dence before the Coroner, ir appears that his
Ur-t int n ion was to shoot Mi-« L1 y Flake,
uho suspect*d bis intention, aud with mnch
presence of mind mad» s-im- m rVement which
(ii-concerred him ; at that moment Lena enter
ed with a ba-iu of warer. he at once turn ai d
chut her through the brain Tbe ball catered
over the'nght eye. She died in au bonr It
now appo >rs that Hen>y, who ia an aged old
servanr to Mr. Flrke, r.nd form-rly belo- ged to
Dr. Butcher, is a Voudoo, or devoree of tne re
ligion ot Africa. Each morning on rising he
makes his orisons t» the hie, and has been no
ticed drumming in aa unusual nnd singn'ar
nianne*’. Wtn-nL na was shot Mi-s Fiake fl- d
from tbe ro->m end rushed to the street. An
other old colored servanr. entered a minute af
ter, a> d found flemy bathing the face of the
mu-deo-i girl. Iu leplv to the old woman’s
Rcreatn", he told her to be quiet, that “it had to
be done "
Tbe verdict was that the deceased came to her
dot’h by means of a pistol shot, by the bauds
of Henry Botcher.
We are informed by ibe police that- the Von-
doo, or Fetish f ith, if ir may he dignified by
hachua.ma. prevails among p-reon- ot odor,
aud that many whi'.s are a so included id its
idolatries. To mate charms pmpitirte evil
spirits, aud attain mis-* here-frer, it ia neoeRsa-
ry to sued human blood. That other murders
have been committed tor th.* same purpose is
geoetady believed, e-pecial'y in New Or leans.

Iu New Or-eans the police have done mnch
to break np their uieem g-*. but in this city
their places ate unknown. 31 j-tr Smith, the
i City Marshal, says that very m .ny ot prisoners,
both white and h'aok, wh in bis officers se-rre-h,
a*e fouud posses-ed ot ‘“Vondoo ch-rrns.” The
exiuiinitioc of H-nry will rake place at fen
o’clock on Fiitav, before Jrmtice Joiiuston.
The t-hantable opinion is that be man is rerig
ionsly it s -ne but tbe fact is thar when hrengh
to the offi.-e of tbe pol ce bo told a story tUat
was not tine He n-id that tbe shoorir g whs
accidental; that the pistol lay between some
mattresses aud ho «a* as-i ting Mi-s Flake end
Lena to move, ai d that he did not know of its
• en g loaded. Insanity seldom teliB a willful
lie.
The nice question for doctors and lawyers

Gen T onmbs at tlrefolnnibas Fair

1.irk.
The peop’e o? Columbus and the visitors at
the Fair which has been po ng on there all this
week—and which we are glad to hear pronoun.
Ccd a decided sttects—had a rich front Wed
nesday in au address from General Toombs.
The Enquirer, of Tnutsday, gives tbe fol ow
ing synopsis of it. We are glad to see so prac
tical and sucsessfni a planter a-General T. hold
ing and (Xpresslogsuuh views as to the au wis
dom of planting so largely of cotton to the neg
lect of small grain, and we hope his heaters, at
least, will show in their crop apportionment next
year that they appreciate his views. Says the
Enquirer:
Gen. Toombs’ address opened with an elo
quent and beautiful tribuie to the dignity and
(he necessity of labor. It was the law of God,
impose'! op* tt n an tr m the virno ot his crea
tion. He announced his purpose to be to tu-
rti-avor io show how the 1 ast amount of human
labor could supply the greatest amount of La
uau want, this was ail that man con d do to
mitigate the s*ern decree ‘“in the sweat of thy
btow (hou shale eat bread.”
The grea er portion of Gen. Toombs address
was un argument to show thb impolicy * f plant
ing all cotton, or large crops of cotton and
small crops of grain. He contended that the true
economy of ihe p* ojilo of the Smth was to
pla-it a mfflcit-hcy of provision crops for the
support of their own tauiiiiei*, (heir Lbitrerw,
their working stock, and the fattening of their
own meat, and to give the surplus labor to tee
production of coiion. He showed the fallacy
oi iLe o lou anon of many planters, by whioh
they figured out a grea er amount of money to
be derived from an acre in cotton. The error
consisted in the assumption that it required no
wore labor to cultivate an acre in couoa than
one ia corn; whereas the troth ia the Ltt-or of
the euttoo field ia at least foar-fold the greate-t.
The farmer breaks up has ground for an acre of
com, plants it, and gives it in all thr* a work
ings—the whole consuming not more than tour
days, at a cost of aboa six dollars per ao»e;
and then ihe work it finished—the crop isid by
in July. B'ri cotton requires much wore labor
in planting, grinning out, ploughing and
hoeing; and when July eamea, inattaa of a
ururination of work with the crop, it Kill has
