ACTION DEMANDED.
The time has arrived when it would
be well for the United States to decide
whether it would not be a wise course
to intervene its good offices for'thesup
pression of hostilities between Prussia
and France. Itseeinsto us that many
weighty considerations exist for at
tempting to stay the terrible horrors
and fearful devastations of the pres
ent struggle. The causes of the war' 1
undoubtedly rested with individual
i members of the royal families hold
| ing power in the respective nations.
It was asserted by the Germans at
i the outset that war was made against
| Napoleon and his army alone, and
not against the French people. For-
I tune has given victory to the Prus
sian arms to an extent unparalleled in
the history of similar struggles. Na
poleon’s overthrow has been as com
plete as it was sudden. And no pos
sible contingencies can ever again
elevate him to the head of the French
people, either as President or Empe
ror. Upon the overthrow of the
Imperial Government, the republi
cans of France, without bloodshed,
declared a Republic, and the very
fact of this quiet transition, gives the
best evidence that the present eonsti- 1
tuted authority is the most powerful
in France. Laboring under the bur
den ofnn enemy, flushed and haughty
with successes, quartered on her soil
and beleaguring the chief city and I
capital itself, it is no wonder that the
new administration of Jules Favre !
finds a difficult work to be done. Not
oqjy must measures of defense be
vigorously continued, hut the disaf
fected at home must l>c quieted. No
country ever contained more diverse
domestic elements of discord than
Franco does to day. The two classes
of Republicans, the liberals and the :
extreme radical “Reds,” together
with the adherents of two royal fam
! ilies, are each ambitious for power,
and jealous of each other, and ready
for trouble at all times. Under this
state of things the present govern
ment appeals to the world for aid.
To none does the call come more
forcibly than to the United States,
Our country occupies the position of
queen of republics, and in intellectual
and national strength, is the peer of
any nation on the globe. Jler moral
| support, therefore is coveted, and her
national power courted and feared.
A debt of gratitude exists towards
France for her assistance to the Uni
ted States in the closing scene; of our
revolution, and undoubtedly its suc
cessful termination was due to aid
from the French land forces of Iji
Fayette and her naval vessels under
D’Kstaing. This is indeed the hour
' when France should receive the aid
of the American Republic. Prussia
has had vengeance enough and has
humbled tier adversary to the dust. 1
The contest should now cease. Let
intervention, armed if necessary, he |
our course. It will have the sanction
of every consideration of humanity
and justice, and at this proper junc
ture, contribute most effectually to
the advancement of human liberties I
and enlightenment. No matter whai 1
the course of other powers upon this
question may ho, the United States is
bound in honor to take the initiative
in peace measures. Let the.tradi
tional non-intervention policy of the
United States be abandoned in this
instance at least, and the peace flat
he proclaimed. The true authority
in France, the truest representatives
of the popular will, are striving
ngninst the dismemberment and deg
radation of their country. Let Amer
ica promptly extend the right hand
of friendship and bid a sister Repub
lic riso from her trials and take her
place in the proud rank of progres
sive and free governments.

Department of the Interior. )
General Land Office, July 3j, 187 u. f
The following is ail act approved
July 14, 1870, to extend the provis
ions of the pre-emption laws to the
Territory of Colorado and other pur
poses :
“Be it enacted by the Smate and
House of Representatives of the l 'id
led States oj A nierica in Congress
Assembled, That the privileges of the
act of May thirtieth, eighteen hun
dred and sixty-two, entitled “ An act
to reduce the expenses of the survey
and sale of the public lands in the
United States,” be, and the same are
hereby extended to Colorado; and
the proviso of the first section of the
act approved June second, eighteen
hundred and sixty-two, entitled “ An
act to establish a land office in the
Territory of Colorado, and for other
purposes,” is hereby repealed.
“Sec. 2. Ami be it further enacted,
That nothing in the act of Congress
approved March twenty-seven, eiglit-
I een hundred and fifty-four, entitled
“ An net for the relief of settlers on
lands reserved for railroad purposes,”
shall bo.construed to relieve such set
tlers from the obligation to file the
' proper notices of their claims, as in
other cases: and all claimants of pre
: emption rights shall hereafter, when
no shorter period of time is now pre
scrilied by law, make tho proper
j proof and payment for the lands
I claimed, within eighteen mouths after
j the date prescribed for filing their
declaratory noticesslmllliaveexpired:
Prodded, That where said date shall
i have elapsed before the passage of
this act, said pre-emptore shall have
one year after the passage hereof in
which to make such proof and pav
ment.”
This act loaves the provisions of
lawns heretofore respecting “offered
lands,” viz.: filing within thirty days,
and payment within twelve 'months
after Settlement."
The settler on surveyed “unoffered
land” must file his or her declaratory
statement within three months from
the date of his or her settlement on
such land, and, within eighteen
months from the expiration of said
three months, make the proper proof,
and pay for such laud.
Where settlers laid already filed be
fore the passage of the act, they are
required to make proof and payment
within one year from such passage;
therefore, all filings made prior to
that date will expire, by limitation of
law, upon unoffered lands, on the
14th of July, 1871.
The settler on “unsurveyed land”
must file his or her declaratory state
ment within three months from the
date or the receipt at the district land
office of the approved plat of the
township embracing the tract upon
which he or she lias settled, and,
within elghtee i months from the ex
piration of said three months, make
the proper proof, and pay for such
tract.
The proviso of the nc of June 2,
1802, requiring filing within six
months from survey in the field, and
providing forming with the Surveyor
General, is repealed.
Circular instructions to registers
and receivers, giving more specific
details, will shortly be issued. In the

London, Bept. 23. —The Prussians
in “ Lunette number fifty-two,” nt
Btrusbourg, which had been aban
doned by the French, become
the objects of a terrible fire. Many
German lives were lost, including
the commander.
The London Times says that the
proclamation of the French Repub
lic turned American sympathy to
the French side, but neither the
Republican nor Democratic party is
sacrificing the German vote to this
sentiment.
Tours, Sept. 23.— A writer in
La France gives the following us the
Prussian plan of campaign, and
claims to have it from unerring au
thority : The advance on Paris was
regulated With mathematical exact
ness, so as to bring several German
army corps around the capital by the
14th of September. Then Paris was
to be turned on the south, cutting
communications on that side with
Tours, the seat of the provisional
government. From Versailles, tho
Prussian headquarters, they were to
harass Paris until tlie surrender
of Metz, Strasbourg and Tours,
at present at least a fortnight’s
task. Meanwhile, the Germans will
detach two corps to Lyons, Havre
and Cherbourg, and send flying col
umns throughout the country in all
directions for forage. Seven thousand
fresh cavalry for that service is now
expected from Germany. A portion
of the programme has already been
realized. The writer says further
that the Prussian Gen. Htcinmetz
was disgraced because of heavy
losses inflicted on his army by Mar
shal Bazaine.
Advices from France via Berlin,
say all discipline is vanishing from
Paris. Soldiers are mutinous, and in
some cases, have shot their officers.
The Manchester examiner says that
General Ulrich, commandant at
Strasbourg, is strongly inclined to
surrender tlie city, hut the wounded
soldiers and citizens are unanimously
opposed to it. The Germans have
armed the captured Lunette num
bers 52 and 63. Mortars and other
batteries have been erected on the
height.
Advices from Montmedy give a
description of tho defense, and state
that tlie resistence of the garrison is
unequalled ' y anything inthehistory
of the • . 1; - seige can only be
prop ed ns a blockade
stricuv ira;rdf. -d hv 15,000 men,
who, from ;o time, enter pro
test against ;he garrison holding out
longer by firing a few rounds at tlie
fortress fro n their heavy guns.
There is very little probability of the
garrison surrendering, ns the Prus
sians report supplies constantly re
ceived from the outside, despite tlie
investment.
A Tribune’s cable dispatch, dated
London, 23, from its correspondent at
l’aris, says: The attacks on the gov
ernment continue, and are, if possi
ble, more bitter now that we are all
shut up together. Some of the Red
organs, the Reveille, for instance,
insist that there shall be no peace on
any terms, and that the war must go
on at all hazards until victory is won.
These same people insist on if clean
sweep of the public offices, so that
the administrative ones employed
under the empire, rank and file, as
well as the heads of departments,
shall, give place to new men. How
is government possible under
such conditions? It is of the most
importance that the government
should make peace, and here are a
set of men who declare that they
will not make peace on any terms,
and reproach the ministers bitterly
for entertaining the question of
peace, and yet these very men begin
to cry for an equal division of food
among us, and would embnrass the
government with disturbances if any
thing goes wrong. Those are the
people who are to be feared. The
government is doing its best, but
the Rads are getting louder and loud
er each'Jay in their dissatisfaction.
They threaten seriously to hamper
the government. It may tie before
long that Paris may regard the in
coming of the Prussians a lesser evil
than their supremacy.
A cable dispatch to the Tribune,
dated London, Sept. 23, says: Louis j
Blanc writes from Paris on the 19th,
that there has been fighting to-day
all around Paris with alterations of
successes and disadvantage. The city
is full of spirit and yet calm. The
national guard has shown itself reso
lute, and guard mobiles are coming
from all parts of tlie country, and j
display that careless gaiety so charac
teristic of tlie French. We are sad, J
yet hopeful. Don’t suppose we ex
pect to escape from the consequences
of a war into which wo have been
dragged in spite of ourselves. Wo
desire peace on equitable and honor
able conditions, and if we cannot have
that, we are ready to accept war to
the knife.
A cable dispatch to the Herald,
dated London. Sept. 23, says that
Charles Hugo, in the Rappeal, writes
that when John Bull hears Den
mark’s death rattle, and the cries of
rage from France, whom sinister
scoundrels have handed over defence
less to savages, but who will liberate
herself, he swallows tiis beef steak
and drinks his porter, saying with a
profound sigh: I regret that my friends
are being swallowed up. Tlie Times
says that if England, Germany and
America are united in the determina
tion to desire the peaceful progress of
both continents, they might shape
the destinies of the human race.
A cable dispatch to tlie Times,
dated London, Bept. 22, says the an
nouncement that Senator Morton is
to be sent to England to replace Mot
ley, is regarded unfavorabley. The
United States at tlie present Juncture
refuses a man for the English mission
| who has a thorough experience in
European affairs, and who is a man
of diplomatic training. The United
States can exert important influence
jin favor of a republic in France. In
i tlie present crisis, a man like General
Dix is required to treat the exigencies
of the occasion.
A correspondent of the Tribune tel-1
egraphs from lierlin Friday evening;
ton o’clock, that the capture of Ton!
had been announced to the audience j
at the Royal Opera, but the news is j
not official.
The English minister at Constants 1
nopie lias a foreign dispatch message
in reply to the urgent telegrams from
Lord Granville, dated Vienna, whieh
states that the authorities have con- !
sented to the formation of a powerful
Russian camp in Bena Risda, and
another one on the Polish frontier.
Such announcement is believed to be
an open avowal,of a Itnsso-Austrian
alliance for combined action.
A freight train on the California
Pacific Railroad was thrown from the

Three persons were injured, one per

Chicago, Sept. 23.— Another terri

was committed at Bridgeport last

with a hatchet and his body thrown

Berlin, Sept. 24.—The French
fortifications of Toul, a few miles
west of Nancy, were captured by tlie
Prussians at sunset yesterday, (Fri
day). The story of its surrender un
conditionally on Wednesday last,
which was returned to us from New
York, was utterly without founda
tion.
A dispatch from Gen. Von Krensig,
who is at Toul, says that yesterday
the town was captured by storm by
the Prussians, after a determined ro
, sistance. The bombardment hasbeen
continual for several days, causing
great damage and destroying tlie
principal buildings. The storming
party advanced and afterwards tlie
Prussian forces carried it by storm.
The besieged surrendered to the Prus
! sians unconditionally.
London. Sept. 24.—A special to the
Evening Telegram says that dis
patches from Ferriere, near Paris, to
day, state that this morning rifle
firing and cannonading were heard
| going on in Paris. On the 21st it was
distinctly observed.
A letter from Paris on the evening
of the twentieth, says that there is
great danger of a revolution, involv
ing another change of government.
The Reds are furious against the
present leaders, and express them
i selves loudly and defiantly against
the authority of its representatives.
The evident disposition is to seize tlie
Hotel do Ville and control the streets.
I This is the rebellious programme,
j Resistance to their plans will he diffi
cult. It is impossible to say what

j ing control of the government, hut
i the people dread pillage and 114-

save the lives and property of thous
ands of citizens. People of a more
peaceful order dread the Prussians
far less than the desperate ruffians
belonging to the lower quarters.
