..Fair I'luy"-Tlic Elect lon.
We invite the attention of the publie
to tho oommnnication of our correspond?
ent "Fair Play."
It appears from tho now election law,
XIV stats, p. 303, that the eloction ia an
"open and abut game" for the party
in power. Oue of the radical negro
leaders has declared in publio that "they
intended to elcot Scott whether they bad
the most votes or not." Tbis is a matter
which should bo investigated, and we
hope that the Executive Committee of
the Union Beform organization wwi give
it their consideration.
Chalona and Its Surroundings.
Chalons is the chief city in tho De?
partment of Marne, 107 milos from Paris,
on the direot railroad line, and has 45,
000 inhabitants. The oity is handsome?
ly built, but owes its present celebrity
less to its beauty, either of architecture
or Bitnation, than to the circumstance of
its being the point chosen by Louis Na -
Soleo a for his training-camp and Cu mp
e Mars of the French army.
The camp has beea laid out nud ar?
ranged in a way that should facilitate
the rapid acquirement by the recruit of
soldierly habits, with the least possiblo
outlay of wealth or convenience. The
soldier was instructed not only in the
minutia) of the drill and discipline, but
in all the little economies and arts of the
menage which go to make tho scanty al?
lowances of the private aud uon-com
tnissioned officer in the French army
sufficient for his simple wants. Chalons
was a curious spectacle, not ouly a field
of arms and military exercises, but a
military colony, in which the arts of civil
life were carried on, and soldiers were
domesticated as a nation of celibates.
They cooked, washed, baked, gardened
and tailored, and did simple .mechanical
trader for themselves.
Besides its modern repute as a train?
ing-school, Chalons has its memories of
history. Groat battles have been fought
against barbarian iuvaders. Hern, iu
273, Aurelian, the conqueror of Zeuo
bia, gave Tertians aud his rebellious
legions a desperate defeat. Here, too,
in 451, iEtius, tho great Bomau General
of tho Lower Empire, the last of tho
patriots, defeated Attila, the Hun, with
overwhelming slaughter. Chalons had
its share in the intestine wars of France,
in the civil dissensions of the Froude,
and the subsequent couteutious of Ca?
tholics and Protestants, that ended iu
the coronation of Heury IV.
Among the publio establishments of
Chalons, the military and traiuiug
schools are interesting, not only for tho
instruction of students iu tho intellect uni
and scient ific departments of knowledge,
but for prepariug them in the arts, and
qualifyiug them as professors aud prac?
tical teaohers of industries. Tho camp
works include artillery, cavalry and in?
fantry barracks-permaueut buildings
with tho headquarters, churches, maga?
zines, administrative departments, hos?
pitals, coffee houses aud restaurants, n
theatre, stores, a street railroad, gas and
water apparatus. The camp of Chalons
has sometimes beeu incorrectly called
an entrenched camp, but it is rather a
vast military school than either a cami)
or a defensivo work. In the vicinity ure
tho remains of the camp of Attila, con?
sisting of ditch aud parapet, in earth?
works similar to those laid out hy Ibo
Bomau legionaries, of which descrip?
tions are to bc fouud in all Latin milita?
ry books.
The La Crosse Democrat relates this:
"Saturday last, a gentleman, who for
several years past bas beeu engaged iu
the Verinilliou gold regions, returned to
this city, and at the American House
discovered n Prussian flag. 'What is
that?' says ho, turning to a friend.
'That is the Prussian flag,' was tho an?
swer. 'Bless the Lord!' says the pioneer.
This remark created an intense interest
in the stranger, who was qucstioucd as
to his enthusiasm over the colors of nu
European kingdom. 'Oh,' says he, 'it
is not because I caro anything for Prus?
sia, but I havo been beyond civilization
some time, aud when I saw thnt rag,
(red, white aud black,) d-n mo if I
didn't think the radicals had destroyed
the Stars aud Stripes aud got up a new
flag, with the red for the Indian, tho
block for tho nigger, and the white for
the rest of us!' "
The inculcation of correct sen ti m cit t
South must be better looked to. Wben
the Conservatives carno in power io Ten?
nessee they repealed thc "pap" law, and
as a consequence the loyal papers of that
region gave up the ghost like toads un?
der a burrow. Similarly in Mississip )i,
tho Governor, Alcorn, having vetoed a
recent act continuing tho fat printing
authorized by General Ames when using
his power ns commandant to procure his
electiou to tho Senate, four loyal popers
aro already defunct, threo more in a
comatorso state presaging domise, and
but two, thanks to some Federal print?
ing, exhibit vitality enough to snarl.
Tho Republican party of tho South not
being ablo to read papers, tho loil press
there depends for its existcueo on cor?
rupt appropriations of public money.
These withdrawn, tho lights of loilism
flicker out.-New York World.
Thc interpretation iu English of tho
names of the German coinmauders is
sufficiently curious. For instance, Steiu
metz means a ?tone-entter; Falkenstein,
the falcon rock; aud boneo Vogel von
Falkenstein, the bird of tho falcon rock;
Mauteufel, mun devil, aud Eulenburg,
tho cast lo of owls. Theso names uro
Gothic enough for the dark ages.
Consid?rable excitement is occasioned
in Paris by tho rumored presence of
Prussian spies.
litt va Have Fair Platy.
MB. EDITOR: Cannot the Executive
Committee of the Beform Party, request
Gov. Soott to suggest to the Commis?
sioners of Elections, which he has ap?
pointed, to allow the?Beform Party, in
eaoh County, to nominate ono of the three
managers for each election precinct?
With tho Commissioners appointed by
Gov. Scott, and all tho managers of tho
so mo party, tho olection will bo regard?
ed a mero force. FAIR PLAY.
The Race to Parin.
Now that tho first shock is over, a
moro confident tono appears to prevail
in Paris. It would bo difficult to explain
tho grounds of this confidence, unless
upon the supposition that it is merely a
reaction from tho receut pauic. Wo
cannot see that tho French are less iu
danger of utter defeat thau they wore
before. Marshal Bazaine bas indeed
inflicted heavy losses upon tho Germans,
but they are ablo to withstand those
losses. In the dire confusion which has
characterized the telegraphic news re?
ceived this week, ono fact stands clearly
out, and it may easily bo borne in mind
by thoso who, like a correspondent, com?
plain that they cannot tell from the pa?
pers which side is winning. It is that
tho French forces are very little moro
than a remnant of what they wero a
mouth ago, and that tho Generals aro
still trying desperately to bring the frag?
ments together, in the hope that a stand
may still bs made at Chalons. The
Prussian losaos, on tho other band, have
probably boon fully made up by rein?
forcements, according to the system
which we described a few days ago.
Prussia is, therefore, still immensely
stronger than France, and seems to have
tho game in ker own bauds.
Tho probability seems to bo that out of
tho 376 battalions of infantry which aro
included in the French army, no fewer
thau 299 battalions were sent to tho
Bhiuo last month. Thero is, therefore,
only a small proportion of the regular
army left to bo drawn upon. A military
writer in a foreigu journal estimates
that "Franco has not more thau 550,000
drilled men at li3r disposal, while North
Germany alone bas 950,000." Theso
figures may not bo exact, but they doubt?
less represent very fairly thc dispropor?
tion wbich exists between the two
powers. Tho longor tho fighting cou
tinues tho weaker must tho French be?
come Tho people domand to be led
against tho enemy, but it is very doubt?
ful whether arms for them could be
fouud. Tho entire military system of
Frauco seems to havo been rotten to the
core, whilo that of Prussia, depending as
it does chiefly upon the patriotism of tho
people, is vigorous and healthj*. The
French have overrated their own strength
and uudorratcd that of their adversaries
-precisely tho mistake which was made
by tho Austrians. No other power iu
Europe is likely to full into that error
again. Prussia will emerge from tho
war the terror of all Europe. It is to be
hoped that tho day will come when she
will no longer bo a vast training field for
armies, aud wkon it will not be necessary
to oblige every mau in the country to
servo as a soldier. After conquering
Franco, Germany could well afford to re
maiu lit peace.-Neto York Times.
DISABLED COLORED SOLDIERS.-Gen.
Howard, Couamissioucr of tho Freed?
men's Bureau, has issued a circular letter
directing all officers and agents ol' the
bureau to maka diligent inquiry for dis?
abled colored soldiers, anil to inform
them that provision for their support has
beeu made by tho managers of the "Na?
tional Asylum for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers." Tlic persons entitled to tho
benefits of tho asylum are: "All officers
and soldiers who served in the late war
for the suppression of the rebellion, and
not provided for by tho existing laws,
who have been or may be disabled by
wounds received or sickness contracted
in tho lino of their duty." Arrangements
have beeu uiado for the cure ol' the above
described class of colored soldiers iu tho
Freedmen's Hospital aud Asylum in the
District of Columbia, nutil a permanent
home shall be provided for them.
How TO BE NOBODY.-It is easy to bo
nobody, aud wo will tell you how to do
it. Go to tho thinking saloon and spend
your leisure time. You need uot drink
much now; just a little beer, or some
other drink. In tho meantime, play
dominoes, checkers, or somothtDg else,
to kill timo, so that you will bo sure not
to read any useful book. If you read,
let it bo the dime novels of tho day.
Thus go ou keeping your stomach full
uud your head empty, aud yourself play?
ing time-killing games, and iu a few
years you'll bu nobody, unless (as is quito
likely) you should turu out n drunkard
ora professional gambler, either of which
is worse thau a nobody. Thero are any
nuiuber of yoiuig men bauging about
saloons, billiard-rooms and other rum
shops, just ready to graduate aud be no?
bodies.
A l?Bi.iEVisa HUSBAND.-During the
trial of ii casu in Louisville, last week, a
witness persisted iu testifying Lo what
his wife told him. To this, of course,
tho attorneys objected, aud it was ruled
out by tho judge. Ho would proceed
again to tell "ulnist bow it vas," when I
tho attorney would sing out, "How do
you kuow that?" "My vifo told me,"
was tho auswor. This was repeated seve?
ral times. Prosoutly, tho judge, becom?
ing unablo to contain himself longer,
interrupted: "Suppose your wife wero to
tell you tho heavens had fallen, what
would yon think?" "Veli, don I diuks
doy vas down."

A Horrible Adventure.
The Paris Paire sustains the well
earned reputation of the Frenoh press
for producing sensational anecdotes, by
contributing the following to that species
of literature:
An adventure trnly horrible, and
which, if made the snbjeot of a melo?
drama, would certainly be denonnoed as
improbable, has just occurrod in the en?
virons of Niterbo, in the Pontifical States.
A cattle-dealer stopped at an inn on the
road uot far from the city. He seemed
very well satisfied with tho accommoda?
tions and with himself, aud he related to
the inn-keeper that he had just made an
excellent bargain about sumo cattle, by
which be had netted a sum of 5,000
francs. After supper ho started for the
city, but had not gone far before ho was
attacked by three men, who tried to get
him dowu. He defended himself brave?
ly, aud succeeded in making his escape.
He returned to tho iun, aud related what
had happened. At tho same timo he
said ho would sleep there, as bc did not
wish, for fear of another attack, to re
sumo his journoy uutil tho next morn?
ing. Accordingly, a room was prepared
for bim, and he retired to bed uud soou
feel asleep. In the course of the night
he awoke, and heard some oue speaking
outside the door. What he heard filled
him with horror. Tho inn-keeper was
saying to some one, "Dig the hole
deeper iu the garden. I will throw him
out of the window, aud you can bury
him at once." The traveler understood
tho si hint iou instantly.
They were going to murder him, and
inn-keeper was in league with the mur?
derers to share the plunder and conceal
his body. Ho immediately rose and
dressed himself, and arming himself
with a spade, which was standing in a
corner of the room, he waited. It was
not long before he heard some oue
approach tho door. It was opened
softly, and tho cuttle dealer saw the inn
koopor about to step into the room. He
immediately struck the wretch dead ou
the floor with the spade.
Tho cattle dealer then lifted up the
body, and, openiugthe window, beneath
which he could perceive in thc dim light
three men aud a largo pit dug for him?
self, he threw tho inn-keeper iuto tho
yard. The three meu took up the body,
which they did not recognize, and set to
work to bury it. Tho cattle dealer, with?
out losing a second, crept dowu stairs,
opeued the door of the iuu, and hurried
off to give information to tho Papal
Carabineers. They?soon arrived at tho
scene of the crime. The threo accom?
plices of the would-be murderer had
just finished their dismal work. They
were immediately arrested aud recogniz?
ed as the sons of the iuu-keeper. It was
they, doubtless, who, at the instigatiou
of their father, had attacked tho cattle
dealer on the road.
CENSUS RESULTS.-Such returus from
the census as havo found their way into
tho newspapers indicate that the local
estimates of the population of our largo
cities, aud of many of tho second and
third class, have beeu much too large.
It is feared, however, as a great many
vacant houses are reported, that many
have been passed over iu tho cities. New
York, which some of its citizens sup?
posed to contain 1,500,00U, will fall short,
it is believed, of 1,000,000. The aggre?
gate population, however, of thc Uuited
States, by the census .superintendent, is
estimated at over 10,000,000, from the
returns received. The cities and large
towns of New England, generally, show
au increase, but those States, iu their
aggregate population, appear to have
gained little or nothing since 18G0. the
gaius in their cities being offset by losses
iu their rural districts. Even tho State
of New York, above Westchester aud off
from the Hudson River and the great
railways, will not show much advance?
ment. The ratio of increase in popula?
tion will doubtless be better in Pennsyl?
vania. All the East, however, has suffered
by drainage to tho West, and from Ohio
(a comparatively light iucreaso in Ohio)
the iucreaso in peoplo goes swelling till
it culminates in Minnesota. Tho great
South-western State of Texas, however,
will probably show au increase siuco 18G0
in actual numbers hardly excelled by
Minnesota. California will not show
anything like the increase for this decade
of that from 1850 to 1800. The rush
thore is over.
There is nothing as yet from the cen?
sus marshals to indicate the growth or
decline of tho States and cities of the
South iu population, white aud black.
Thc ravages of the war, covering as they
did nearly tho whole surface of the
Southern States, and involviug its entire
white inhabitants, must havo diminished
largely that elane of tho population, aud
tho subsequent emigration, either from
Europe or the Nortn, can scarcely have
been sufficient to fill tho gap. In addi?
tion to this there has been a largo white
emigration from tho Southern States to
tho North and West. Besides, thero are
numerous reports, though it is difficult to
speak of their reliability, of tho rapid
decay of the Southern blacks since their
emancipation. If, under such drawbacks,
it shall bo shown by tho census that tho
South has uot considerably declined in
population, it will be an astonishing fact,
and demonstrate a degree of vitality, aud
extent ol' resources in that sect ion full of
prom iso for tho future. It is of great im?
portance that tho work of the census of
1870 bo carefully uud thorouhly done.
Its full returns, reduced to an intelligi?
ble compilation, will bo, politically, so?
cially and commercially, of a valuo and
intcrost never equalled by any similar
publication in this country. Thero are
intimation;, of manipulations iu regard
to political aud sectional interests, ns the
futuro representation of States in Con?
gress has necessarily to bo based ou tho
returus, but wo can hardly suppose this
to bo tho caso however imperfect tho re?
turns may bo from auy other causo.

SINGULAR DETECTION OF A MURDERER.
Aa illustrating quick perception and fare I
presence of mind, Chamber's Journal]
vouch OH for the truth of tho following |
story, which was originally published in
the guise of fiction :
Caroline G-, a good looking, fine?
ly proportioned young girl, lived as lady's
maid with a fashionable youug widow,
rather passe. One eveniug, after having |
assisted at her mistress's toilet for a din?
ner party, sbo amused herself, before
puttiug away tho various articles scatter?
ed about tho room, in trying ou a pnir of
silk stockings and dress .shoes belonging
to ber mistress, nud, having done so, sbo
viewed her well turned limbs with com?
placency, saying aloud: "There's a leg
for a stookiug, nud there's a foot for a
shoe." Having satisfied herself as to
their symmetry, she divested herself of
her borrowed plumes, put tho room to
lights, and awaited the return of her
mistress, whom she saw into bed. That
was tbo last time she saw her alive. Sbo
was fouud in tho morning murdered
in her bed, the jewel case and pluto chest
broken open and robbed. Tho robber
and murderer bad left no trace by which
he could be captured, and in spite of the
most diligent search, escaped. Three
years after Caroline was engaged in a
similar capacity by a lady who took her
to Paris. Sbo hud almost forgotten the
murder, and, if sho thought of it, it was
not with any hope of discovering the
criminal.
It happened that she was walking in
one of thc public promenades ono after?
noon, wheu, as she passed a group of
men, she heard theso words:
"There's a leg for a stockiug, aud
thorn's a foot for a shoe."
In a momeut the ovents of the even?
ing before her mistress was murdered
dashed on her memory. And now, for
her marvelous presence of mind. Pro?
tending not to have heard anything, she
glanced sideways at tho group of men.
She saw there were three, but she could
not tell which of them had spokeu. She
walked slowly past them, then she stop?
ped in an undecided manner aud finally
turned back, and walkiug up to them
she asks 'v to bo directed to a certain
street. .' .; she expected, all of them
had a word for ber, and among the voices
she easily recognized the one that bad
just spoken. Their hmgungo and looks
were both very free, but she only told
them that they were very impertinent,
and that she would get the information
she wanted from the first gendarme.
She thus averted suspicion, if they
watched her speaking to a policemnu.
Tho next difficulty was how to inform a
gendarme what she wanted; sho had
been only a fortnight iu Prance, and
kuew scarcely a word of French. She,
however, carried a pocket dictionary
wilh her, to assist iu making purchases,
and as a means of acquiring a little
French. Going over to a bench, sho sat
down, and searching through the dic?
tionary, found tho words sho wauted,
aud she then wrote them with a peucil on
tho Hy leaf of tho dictionary. The
seutenco ran thus: "Gendarme, ja avoir
besoin vous arr?ter un meutricr." Tho
grammar was not very correct, as dic?
tionaries do not teach syntax, but the
geudarme understood it, and in auother
minute held the murderer in his grasp.
He was afterwards couvieted and hung
ou the girl's testimony.

FIRE.-About 4 o'clock, yesterday
morning, firo was discovered issuing
from a small tenement building on "Winn
street-between Bluuding and Taylor
which had beeu occupied up to ten days
ago. The firemen concurred promptly, as
usual, though owing to tho bad condition
of the plugs, were uuablo to check the
progress of the flames, and tho house was
entirely consumed. As there was no
occupant, and no combustible material
near from which it might have caught
fire, it must have been, undoubtedly,
tho work of an incendiary.
