[From the Now York Hnrald, 2d.]
Germany, France mad hpaln.
Our special dispatches from London thin
morning confirm the news that has been
already printed iu reference to a misun
derstanding between Frauoe and Germany
so far as Spain is concerned. The Ger
mans, as our readers know, have taken
offence at the summary execution of a
German correspondent by the troops of
Don Carlos. They propose to show their
resentment, and, if possible, punish the
offenders. But as a naval campaign
against the Carlists, who are entrenched
in the rugged, inaccessible hills of Biscay,
would be aa absurd and impossible a pro
ceeding hs a campaign against the Apaches
with gunboats, the Berlin government
naturally and instinctively turns toFranoe.
The French oan, if they choose, punish
the Carlists, because the frontier is under
French control, and has been practically a
base of supplies for Don Carlos. Now
the Germans insist that because the Car-
lists have killed a German the French
shall punish them. They also give Ser
rano aud his illegal government assurances
of sympathy, and urge him to make a
demonstration against France, and pro
pose, as a correspondent says, to have the
Brussels Conference unite in favor of a
Steamer
Burned

This is cert inly keen diplomacy! Bis
marck’s murdered German becomes of
great use to him. He has a pretext which
he finds convenient, although be does not
always pause to find one when he has
something to gain. He not only kills one
bird with one stone, but hss a good ohance
at a whole flook of them. He humiliates
France, which is always a pleasant thing
to do. He annoys the legitimists, who
believe in the Pope and Dou Carlos. He
flatters the Spanish rulers, who will deal
moro strenuously with France now that
they have behind them the powerful Ger
man Minister. He shows distrust between
France and Spain, and destroys the natu
ral alliance that sympathy in religion and
language and customs would establish.
Having alienated Ituly on one side of
France and Belgium on the other, be now
solicits Spain. In the event of another
war with Germany an alliance between
Prussia und Spain, or even a good under
standing, would render a French army ne
cessary to wutch tbe Pyrenees. That, at
least, would bo one army less to fight—
not an unimportant consideration either
when the battle really comes. *
It is urged that France should recognize
Spain, and thus anticipate Bismarck and
in some way keep his iufltiencc out of
Madrid. This may bo done. We can
well understand how France would resent
German influence in Spain. Nothing
could be more galling to French pride
than the policy which Bismarck has sud
denly prtssed upon MacMahon, for all
the traditions of Franco since Louis XIV.
are opposed to it. There has not boen
a time within two hundred years when a
jolicy like Bismarck’s would not have
)een followed by a French army over the
Rhine. But there will be no war! Poor
France bad to submit to affronts far more
serious than this Spanish intrigue. Her
rulers feel that for this year end many
years perhaps their duty is to submit in
silence to whatever affront Germany puts
upon them. In this they show great wis
dom and add another to the already loug
list of wrongs which, when tbo time
oomes, will justify France in resenting,
and compelling Germany to undo at the
risk of another war. This is our reading
of the Spanish-German problem. France
means to fight when she is ready, not
when Bismarck is ready. Bismarck is
very ready now, and so France submits,
protests and waits.
TWENTY LIVE* LOST.
Cincinnati, August 5.—Tbe telegraph
operator at Aurora, III., reports that
the steamer Pat Rogers waa burned this
morning, one mile below Aurora, and
about twenty lives lost, the viotims being
principally ladies. Further particulars
are expected soon.
Farther Details—The Beat Vami.
arable-pilot Thinks the Fire
on Incendiary One-Less
or Life Pnknewn.
Acboba, Illinois, August 5.—The fire
originated in cotton bales In the hinder
part of the boat, about six o’clook. The
boat was immediately turned shoreward,
but bacame nnmanagable. Tho pilot*
thinks tbo tiller ropes wore cut, and that
the fire was incendiary. The boat drifted
on tho sand-bar and grounded.
The flames, instead of apreading along
the lower deck, nt once ahot up to the
cabins afld pilot house, and then swept
across tho hurricane deck.
The passengers were all aroused, boats
lowered, and many were oarried ashore,
but others, in their fright, jumped into
the water, and those who were not
drowned reached a safe landing plaoe,
after drifting a long time with the cur
rent.
There were nearly one hundred people
on board, but what proportion of this
number is actually lost is not known.
No Southern Passenger* on Board-
Boat Valued nt *60,000.
Cincinnati, August 6.—No Soutnwest
ern or Southeastern names are in the liat
of the lost by the Pat Rogers. Both boat
and cargo, the latter consisting of cattle,
sheep and hogs, besides cotton, are a total
loss. The passenger register and all other
books wero destroyed. She waa valued at
$00,000.
The Other (Slice or Mexico.
The St. Louis Times credits the story
of tbe plan for a further cession of Mex
ican territory to the United States, and
aayB:
The Rio Grando will always be an urn
safe boundary, ond the loug stretch. of
debatable land on either side will possibly,
until a new order of things exist, never
be given ovor to the civilizing process of
industrious settlement. The frontier dif
ficulties constantly arising between tbo
Texans and Mexicans, and the inability
of the Mexioan Government to control
the lawlessly disposed citizens of Now
Leon aud Tamaulipa^, has more than
once given rise to negotiutions for mak
ing the twenty-sixth parallel or the moun
tain range of tbe Sierra Madron, tho
boundary line between the two countries.
It is now alleged that these negotiations
have been renewed by Mexico. It is pro
posed to cede the entire territory lying
north of a line drawn duo west from the
month of the Rio Grande (at
tbe southwest corner of Texas) to tbe
Pacifio Ocean. This would include a
iart of Tamaulipas, tbe north part of
Tew Leon, nerly all of Coahuila including
Monterey, part of Durango, all of Sonora
on tbe Gulf of California and the north
end of Sinaloa on tho samo shore, and
nearly all of lower California.
The rumor acquires additional proba
bility in view of the delay of the settle
ment of the matter which has been so
long tho snbjoct of examination between
the American aud Mexican commission-

A PHI ENT ON A III OH HOME.
He Condemn Snored Concerto Ont-
aftde the Cntholle Chureh.
Caps Mat, August 4.— Sacred conoerta
were assailed from the altar by Priest
Degen, at the Catholio Church. He said
that in lhe Catholio Church aloue oould
sacred songs be with propriety chanted,
and he denounced the Stockton, Congress
Hall and Columbia House oonoert guests
iu unmeasured terms. His argnmsnt was
that only mnsio composed for seaside con
certs should be used, and that Catholics
were obliged to attend vesper service,
which he fixed for Philadelphia, Baltimore
and New York, at 8 P. m., after mass.
The Catholios informally met in front of
St. Mary's Church and denouneed the
priest as intruding on Catholio usage by
having vespers at night instead of in
the afternoon, as ordered by stat
utes of the diocese. Indignation runs
high, end the case is to be reported to
Bishop Corigan at Newark. The indica
tions point to the fact that the Priest de
sired to force vesper attendance at unu
sual hours for financial gain, and was
chagrined at tbe thousands assembled to
eujoy Prof. Harkor's vooal concert at the
Columbia House, and also Hsrtler’s A
Dodsworth’s instrumental entertainment
at Congress Hall and Stockton. Aa far
as esn bo ascertained, rubrics of the Dio
cese of Newark prescribe 3:30 o’olock as
vesper hour. The action of Priest Degen
is regarded as against the Catholio usage,
and the entire Catholio community is in
revolt. Father O’Neil, of the Philadel
phia Cathedra), said late mass, but made
no remafks. The visiting Priests here
oondemu Degen and tho Bishop’s formal
condemnation is looked for.
The Tennessee Connty Election*.
Nashville, Tenn., August 5.—The ap
proaching oounty elections throughout
the State are causing a great deal of ex
citement. Party lines, in many counties,
are being closely drawn on acoount of tbe
Civil Rights bill. The contest in this
oounty—between the Conservatives and
Democratic nouiinoos on the one side and
tbe Independents on lhe other—will, it is
believed, be exciting. Both parties hive
Unionists and ex-Confederatss on their
ticket).
Vlrfflnln Congressman Hns as Edi
tor Arrested.
Richmond, August 5.—Congressman
James H. Platt, of the Seoond Virginia
District, caused the arrest of Samuel
Safford, one of the editors of the Sunday
Gazette, lost night, on the ohorge
of slander and libel. The at’
tide to whioh the exceptiona were
taken was published two or three
weeks ago, and ohargod that if
Platt had reoeived his jnat dues he would
have been in the penitentiary ten years
ago, and that they had documents in their
possession to prove it.
Government Selaluff Spirits.
New Yobk, August 5.—The revenue
authorities seized about $90,000 worth of
erode spirits at different places in the oity
Monday on snspioion that fraud was in
tended on the Government in ita measure
ment. The liquor was contained in 1,476
barrels. The discovery of the supposed
frand is tho result of the new order of
the Internal Revenue Department requir
ing all high wines to be regauged before
rectification. It is said that about $60,000
has been advanced by merchants in this
city on the liquor under seizure.
Hnllrond Company Bncd-Bod Man
Affemenl.
Cincinnati, August 5.—The Louisville
Short Line has been sued, and a receiver
was asked for. The cause of tbe finan
cial trouble is alleged in the petition to
be by groRB mismanagement. The Cin
cinnati Bridge Company sues for $30,-
000.
The Congressional Naval Commit
tee.
Fowtbebh Monroe, Va., Ang. r».—The
U. S. steamer Despatoh, with the Con
gressional Naval Committee passed up
this morning, and spent the day at Nor-
folk Navy Yard. She resohed here at 4
p. m., and the party spent a couple of
hoars visiting tho fort, after which they
sailed for Philadelphia.
Mexioo exceed eight millions of dollars.
Her inability to pay it is clearly manifest.
What thon is more reasonable to suppose
than that Mexico is anxious to get rid of
the lawless populations north of the Sier
ra Madras, and to pay a claim otherwise
unadjust&ble, should propose the peaceful
cession of her surplus territory ?
It is only a short time sinoe the Texas
Pacifio Railroad Rent a special commission
to Mexico to purchase the mining dis
tricts in Sonora. Indeed, it was asserted
that Santa Anna’s return from exile was
specially designed to further their negoti
ations. It is probable that the Texas Pa
cific eonld not care to make these invest
ments unless assured that tho territory
would finally pass to the credit of the
United States, aud that, confident of the
eveutual cession, it is not surprising that
it should wish to hasteu so valuable and
important a purchase?
There is another significant fact con
nected with tho consideration of this sub
ject. The Mexican Congress has given
the control of the International Railroad
from tbe City of Mexico to F.l Paso, con
necting with the Texas Pacific at that
point to an American company, of which
Gen. Rosecrans is President. This road,
so far as completed, hns been built with
American capital, and tho franchises run
for tweuty.five years. Certainly the mat
ter is of sufficient importance to awaken
publio interest.
Exportation of Gold.
Nzw York, August 5.—Tho Russia
took $76,000 in gold.
Cape Mat, August 6.—The difficulty
that occurred on Sunday in regard to sa-
ored concerts at the hotels, has been
much exaggerated. Father Degan in
speaking of them, merely stated that some
portion of the music would be more ap-
priate in tho Catholio Church, us they
wero solemn to every Catholio heart, and
recommended bis members to couie to
church, and bear holy chants, iu prefer
ence to attending hotel concerts. There
was no dennneiation of Father Degan by
Catholics, for bis notion, in which there
was nothing wrong, as pastors are allowed
by the Pope to fix the time for vespers to
suit the convenience of the members.
Conscience Money—Postal Cars Con*
tinned.
Washington, August 6.—Four hundred
dollars of conscience money was received
at the Treasury to-day from this city.
The postal cars from New York came in
last night, and this morning, as usual,
without any detention at Baltimore, and
left Washington last night and this morning
passing over Mr. Hinckley’s road os for
merly. It is now almost certain that Mr.
Hinckley will continue to perform the
service, knowing that Col. Bcott will ac
cept it, if he does not, trusting to Con
gress to grant him the extra compensa
tion asked for.
Flood at Treat**, Now Jersey.
Trenton, August 6.—The main reser
voir whioh supplies the oity with water
gave way yesterday afternoon and sent
about thirty million gallons of water over
the oity and down Peunington avenue
with a mighty rush, filling the cellars of
moat of the houses.
More of She Plymouth Chore* Bore.
New York, August 6.—The Plymouth
Church Committee will continue sessions
to hear Moulton and the Beecher report,
probably, to Saturday.
Judge Riley has dismissed tha Tilton

Prominent Incidents
IK THU
History of Columbus
From ite First Settlement in 1827, to the
Wilson Raid, in 1805, compiled by John
H. Haetin.
The undersigned proposes to publish, in a
volume of 150 or more pages, a work under
the above title, covering the period from the
selection of the locality for a “ trading town
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
of the city by the Wilson Raid, in 18(55.
The inculenU will be derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be gleaned for this
purpose with much care. It is believed that
most of our citizens would like to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,
and will encourage the undertaking to the
extent of the small amount asked for the work
Each chapter will contain short biographi
cal sketches or notices of the principal citizens
mentioned in it, who have since died. The
volume will also embrace full information
concerning the churches, factories, dec., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila
tion with a view to making money, as the
small price asked for it will show. Rut at
the same time we do not want to lose money
by iU publication, and therefore we wish to
limit the number <tf copies printed to the de
mand for the work. With this object in view,
we issue this prospectus, inviting those who
desire copies of the volume to soul in their
names.
The price will be one dollar per copy for
a pamphlet bound volume, printed on paper
like the specimen sheet issued. A small
number of copies will also be issued on a su
perior artieU of paper for |l 30 />«• copy.
Payable when the work it delivtrtJ, which
will be tome time next Fall.
