Divine Worship Preparations for aGrand Effort to yeciae tne Fate of Paris! AMERICAN. Washington, 3. Horace Greely arrived here on an early train this morning, and has been closeted with the President for over two hours. It is stated that Greely will be appointed one of the San Domingo Commissioners, and that his presence here is to advise with the President as to the selection of the remaining two, and a secretary, who have not yet been determined upon. Gen. Pleasanton arrived this morning and took the oath of ollice, but he will not affix his official signature to any document before Thursday. Gen. Dent, who has been confined to his bed by sickness, since his fall on the His dis ice, is slowly recovering. says that it was tinguished father-in-laonly a lazy ht, and that he has no tears of any fatal results. Owing to the meagre salary paid to the enumerators who took the late census of New York City, many of them have refused to serve again. Dr. Walker, superintendent of the census, who has recently returned from that city, expresses the opinion that the new enumer ation will not increase the total figure of the first census. Advices received here from Gen. Logan say he has clearly a majority of 18 Republican votes in the caucus, and will be undoubtedly elected, if some disaffected Republicans in the Legislature do not go over to the Democrats. Capt. Daniel Ammen, U.S. Navy, now on duty at the Navy Department, has invented an improved torpedo boat and ram, which will be experimented with at the Washington Navy Yard. Telegrams, which were received at the Interval Revenue Department this morning from Texas, announce that $7,000 had been recovered from lector Tullis who is now in custody awaiting trial, charged with defalcation to the amount of $ 30,000. Gen. Pleasanton, the new Commissioner of Internal Revenue, will ehortly begin the work of consolidating the Internal Revenue districts throughout the country, in accordance with the Act of July 14th, 1870. It is thought every hundred districts will be consolidated in fifty, thereby dispensing with the ser vices of over fifty collectors. In every State one or more districts will be consolidated. Assistant-AssessBullock, of the seventh district of Tennessee was y dismissed for suspected complicity in the tobacco frauds. The consolidation of the business interests of the Bankers and Brokers, Franklin, and the Atlantic and Pacific Telcgraphio Cos., which took place gave an opportunity for the Western Union Company to diaplay very mean feelings towards, at least, one of the consolidating companies. for more than two years the Bankers and Brokers Company have been on good terms with the Western Union Company, the former giving the latter all their business to points beyond the reach of their own wires, and when the Bankers and Brokers' wires were not working, their business was promptly transferred to the There is a Western Union Company. rule of the Western Union Company which requires the date in all messages from opposition lines passing over the lines of the Western Union Company to be paid for. The rule is illegal, and its enforcement arbitrary. Influential parties have taken the matter in hand, and will shortly present to Congress a petition for legislation with regard to this and other oppressive and unlawful rules established by the Western Union Company.

New York, 3. The latest advices show that the loss of Fort Avron, has greatly depressed the garrison who consider it as a prelude to the abandonment of the forts into which the Germans may look down. Accounts from Southern France report the people ardent and patriotic to the last degree, and that the determination to resist to the bitter end, is stronger than ever. They are prepared fur the worst, but say they will lose every thing: before surrendering any part of their Territory. A correspondence from the army shows that the Francs Tireurs are the terrible foes of the Uhlans, who suffer everywhere from bushwhacking. The Tribune has an editorial showing the hollowness of the assumptions of independence on the part of such journals as the Herald and the Sun. The Herald so the Tribune charges, received $00,-0(last year from Tammany, for assisting its cause. A pamphlet is issued to expose the practices of the Sun, and makes a distinct statement as to the places, dates and persons about Wm. L. Tweed, securing the political services of the Sun, for certain subsidies, and of frequent changes in its editorial course by the payment of money. The Tribune invites attention to the pamphlet just is sued which abounds in instances of black mail, and declares that no mean abuse of its authors can set aside their very serious accussations. The very damiging editorial is calm in tone, and is evidently by Greely. Murders were never more frequent here than now. During the 48 hours ending Monday noon, there have been five homicides, and id attempts to kill; nine men were sht and stabbed yesterday. Annie Moffatt, an inmate of a disreputable house on Green street, committed suicide by swallowing a quantity of Paris green, while intoxicated, A supposed incendiary fire broke out in the jewelry store ol Charley l.osen field, 156 and 3d Avenues, and extended to the sewing machinery establishment adjoining; the aggregate loss is 10,1X10. Everything is quiet in Crispin circles The system works favorably, and those shops started un derthis management arc getting thor oughly atl work. The tmpire Lodge seems particularly buoyant and sanguine of success. Burglars broke into the coffee mill of Arbuekle & Brother, Water .street, Brookly. The thieves fired several shots at the Police, the only effective shot mortally wounding John Erwin, of 'JO Adams Square, of thieve s gang. Brooklyn, 30.

The man whose body Chicago,3. was found in the Lake Basin, yesterday, cut and bruised, appears from papers found on his person to have been Key. Dr. Wm. Gumbleston, of 54, Lombard .Street, Baltimore. He had a letter from Black: Bro. and Co., 62, Wall Street New York, referring to a deposit with them and advising him not to withdraw it until he cad reached his destination at the West, and found opportunity to invest it. There were also on the body some railroad receipts from Chicago to Manhattan, Kan sas, an old ring aud a small amount of money. A strap like those used for rail road checks was tied across the mouth and fastened to the back of the head, several bruses were on the forehead. He was undoubtedly robbed and murdered Washington, 4. Charles Mills, of Michigan, clerk to the Senate Committee on Commerce, was found dead this morning in the water closet of the capital. He had left his a short time previous boarding-hous- e and apparently in good health. The cause of his death was appoplexy; de ceased was about forty years of age. New York, 4. The money market does not show the increased ease which some sanguine speculators expected. Call loans range from seven currency to seven gold, and the market is not easy to any but strictly prime bororrowers, with good collat-teralWeak ones with mixed collaterals are not in favor with money lenders, who have become exceedingly cautious siuce the recent break in the Union Pa cifies and Hannibal and St. Joseph sccu s. ricties. Many lenders, by recent events have become forced owners of inflated and watered Railway shares for which there is only a limited market at best. The great danger which hangs over our capitalists, is that Union Pacific, or that Hannibal and St. Joseph, may suddenly be discovered in what is known on the Stock Exchange as the active list; there is no telling what financial calamities such an event might precipitate. On Wall street, the January disbursements, were commenced in earnest yesterday ; an enormous amount of money was paid out on interest on dividends, and yet in the face of all this, Stocks are heavy and have declined. This condition is certainly remarkable, and is a bitter disappointment to those who have been in dulging in dreams of the long promised and much wished for January advance. The "balls" now talk of an advance as favorable in March. Charts H. Swectzer, a well known journalist, who foundod the Round Ta- -' lie, h.vtnmg Matt, Globe, GazMte, etc., has died of consumption in Florida. He was only "J years old, and had been en gaged in more newspaper enterprises than any man of his age in the East. The sale of the pamphlet called, "The Robert Mctaire ot Journalism, or Char g les A. Dana's Opera tions."1 To which the Tribune has several times alluded, was stopped last evening by an injunction from the Sun, but is now lii the hands of another firm, who quote an extraordinary demand for it. I he Tribune says it would be belter to attempt to refute its charges, than try to prevent its sale. Republican papers declare Hoffman s Message a failure, proving clearly the absurdity of his pretentious to the leadership of the Democracy, and his claims to the Presidency. Five or six hundred of our Gatling Guns are now being made in Hartford by order of the British Government. The latest London journals agree in the opinion that the Paris defences almost are impregnable, and that it has food enough to last some months. King William has frequently declared he will entertain no proposition of peace until Paris has falBlack-mailin- len.

Alderman this afternoon adopted a resolution authorizing th appointment of a special commit-teoofBmembers of each branch, to make arrangements for according the Fenias martyrs a fitting reception. The Crispins are still out of doors and out of work, although they express themselves just as sanguine of success as ever. o A crowd of Crispins have gathered of Mr. Hurts shop, to intimidate new hands ; the police are on the spot. A Versailles correspondent of the 14lh ult, says he has excellent opportunities for lcurniiig the situation in Paris, and that everything proceeds there much as usual. Theatres are open, the people and seldiers are in excellent spirils, the general health is good, and there is any quantity of food. There are only 7,000 horses in the city, and no requisition has been made upon them for the Government. The forces for defence number 450,000 men, consisting of 3 army corps under Ihe leadership of Yinoy, Thomas y out-siil- and Ducrot. Princess Editha, or the lady who called herself the daughter of Lola Montcz, has been sent to a lunatic asylum; her career has been exceedingly romantic. She went, four week's since, to Hahnemann's Hospital, and there stated she was friendless and sick, and The Dr. in was subject to convulsions. charge considered her convulsions shams, and told her she must leave; she subsequently left the hospital, procured a carving knife, and attempted to stab Dr. Segar. A writ of lunacy was procured, and the Princess was about to be removed, w hen the writ could not be found. It appears that the assistant physician at the Hospital fell in love with Editha, and found and destroyed it. She left the Hospital and was afterwards arrested by a detective upon the affidavits of the physicians to that effect. The steamer "Concordia" cleared from for Falmouth, England; this port she has on board, 1,707 cases of cartridges, 250 cases of muskets, 1,000 cases of rifles, and several large guns for French soldiers; total value, $834,200. The maaagement of the Havana line of mail steamers, which was founded by the late firm of Spofford, Tileston & Co., and sold by them to the Atlantic Mail Steamship Co.. will probably pass into n the hands of an extensive and shipping house in this city very shortly; the negotiations are now pendto-d- well-know- ing. A private letter from Capt. Hudson, of the steamer "Hornet," states he arrived at Nassau on the 15th ult., and immediately made application for coal, which was refused by Gov. Walker. The captain was waited upon shortly after his arrival by the commander of the British war vessel, "Philomel," who advised him to go away as soon as possible, as the Spanish corvette "Basean" had recently gone out in search of the "Hornet," which she had not recognized ou her arrival. Capt. Hudson resolved upon doing this, and thanking the commander for his friendly proceeded to convey the "Hornet" outside the harbor, saying, that when clear of the coast, he was not afraid of any cruisers. The "Hornet" and two vessels left Nassau in company on the 16th; when clear of the harbor, Capt. Hudson bid good bye to his friendly consorts, which, steaming up, ran away from him without seeing anything of the Spanish vessel, ile then made for where he arrived on the 18th, and took on board about 300 tons of coal, which was purchased, and left on the 22d for Carthagcna, to meet a cargo of ammunition there. Capt. Hudson expects some lively times in his cruise, but is very reticent as to what he intends doing, but hints strongly at exciting events, which are only to be developed as they progress. The crew consists of a hundred men, many of whom are Cubans, but none are allowed on shore. British advice, e, London, 4. VOL. II. While at Port au Prince, great excitement prevailed in the city as to the object and equipment of the "Hornet," but they came to the conclusion that it was a Cuban expedition. The members of the Crispin organiza tion havo issued the following: "We, the Knights of St. Crispin hereby declare our independence and boldly assert that wo will not work for any employer who is a member of the manufacturers Asso ciation, whose sole object is to crush the working man; and further that all employers who do not put their men to work on or before the 10th of this month will have to pay a heavy percentage for men now on strike. By order of the Council." Employers are now obtaining men from New Jersey. The strikers last night met some of tho Jersey men going home, aud gave them a severo beating. non-socie- ty Boston, 4. fishing schooner "Stars and Stripes," with a crew of seven men, left here Dec. 25 for a three days cruise, and has not since beeu hoard from. She was owned in South Boston, and most of the crew had families. The annual meeting of the shoe and leather mauufacturs association, was held this p. m. ; the report of the secretary afier referring to the history of the BsmifiiitioT!, take an encouraging view of their prospects considering the magnitude of the interests involved. From the report on leather manufactures it appears that the annual average value of hides and skins used as raw material is The labor employed in $66,531,114. manufacturing these into leather adding to their value $58,228,055; making the value of the leather tanned and dressed in the United States $124,760,00'.). The value of the material used in the manu facture of boots and shoes, including The value adleather is, $130,10'J,608. ded by labor, $116,082,392. Total valuo of boots aud shoes manufactured $252,-00- 0 per ccut was made, in tho United States in 1870, were made in New England. The hide and leather aud boot and shoe interests of New England are equal to about $200,000,000 per annum. Tho report of the Bureau of credits was offered and accepted. It appears that the wholo number of failures in the trade since the organization of the association is 78, none of whom had offered over 50 per cent, and quite a number only 25 per cent. William B. Spooncr of Boston, was elected President and Edward P. Bond as Secretary, for the ensuing year. Among the is Gov. Chilli n. The meeting waB harmoniously conducted. Washington, 4. There is no quorum in the House; all attempts to bring anything forward of an important character are met with pertinent demands for regular order from the Democrats. Only a few more Senators than the number necessary for a quorum were present in their scats The y. The ladies of the Cabinet began their receptions The message on the condition of affairs in the South will probably be sent to Congress in a day or two. It is well understood that there will be a reconstruction of the Cabinet before spring roses bloom. The story is again revived that Secretary Fish will soon retire from tho State Department. He is thoroughly wearied of public place, and will, of course, retire voluntarily, possessing the confidence of the President. He will probably resign about the beginning of March. His family announce this to be their last winter here and are making preparations to move away in the spring. It is generally understood that Sena-ato- r Morton, of Indiana, tho Presiman and confidential dent's right-han- d adviser outsido the Cabinet, will be Fish's successor. Should his appointment take place, it is probable the whole foreign policy of the administra tion will be changed. He is a man of great, vigor of thought and energetic action, besides making himself popular on the administrations with the people, he will have a reputation to make for himself as Grant's Prime Minister. It will bo remembered he favored the Cubans when they were here pleading with Fish for some show of recognition. So far as known, his sentiments are unchanged on that subject He favors also a vigorous policy with regard to Britain, and the settlement of the Alabama claims. He is thought to accord with the President on the subject of acquiring a strong foothold in the West Indies, and is altogether the most practical statesman in Congress. Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull has submitted to both houses of Congrcsss a printed memorial with the following expressive title "Constitutional Equality, the logical result of the 14th and 15th amendments which not only declare who are citizens, but also define their rights, one of which is the right, to vote without regard to sex."

Favre is shortly expeoted to arrive in this city, to be present as the representative of the French Republican Government at the Conference. The Republicans and numerous sympathizers in this city have resolved to tender Favre a public reception in recognition of his faithful services in the cause of the Republic. Preparations are being rapidly made for the occasion. Versailles special telegrams say the fall of Paris is now confidentially talked of as certain to occur within a few days. The preparations of the German armies before the city are now perfect. The besieged have becu pushed to the last extremity, and reduced by famine and warfare, are now massing their strength within the walls, and concentrating for one last grand effort to decide the fate of Paris. All observations made by the Germans lead them to anticipate a grand final sortie, almost immediately; preparations are making in the German camp accordingly. The sortie will probably be in the south side of the city. Berlin, 4. The Prussian bankers and others who have subscribed to the French loan, and hold shares in that speculation, havo been arrested and imprisoned; numbers of them, including many prominent publio business men in this and other cities throughout the country, have already been tried, cenvicted and sentenced te various terms of imprisonment in the German fortresses.

London, 4. A telegram from Bordeaux contains information of an engagement near Envillers, a small town in the northern provinces between the French troope and a large body of Germans. The bat-tl- o was fiercely contested for 5 hours with heavy losses in both armies. A telegram via Lille, states that the Prussians were beaten along tho whole line in the engagement. The losses suffered by several battalions were terrific, their ranks were completely decimated. The losses on the French Bide were also severe. A number of dispatches wero recently taken from a Prussian courier on the frontier of Belgium, while in the oourse of transmission to their destination. This action has been reprimanded by the Prussian Government. These dispatches it is alleged prove that Prussia has been using her influence to instigate the United States to enforce the Alabama claims, and insist upon their settlements by the British Government. Advices received from Versailles state that the armies before Paris are suffering much from the protracted frost. The besieged are terrible suffers from cold; fifty sentinels of the French, placed on guard on tho outposts, havo been found by their commanders sent to relieve them, frozen to death ; tbe hospitals are full; over 12, 0H) cases of frostbit have occurred since the cold began ; many will end in death; almost all who escape with life lose their limbs or faculties. The poor suffer most from cold, as the weather finds them unprotected, miserably clad, and unablo to withstand the approach of disease, and they speedily fall victims whenever it appears. Fever is raging in the eity and among tho soldiers, causing great mortality. Bronchitis has appeared, claiming its quota of victims from the population. Versailles, 4. Gen.
