The Gazette.
Since we have been getting our special and afternoon dispatches, and giving to our readers fuller and more complete reports from the seat of war in Europe, than any of our cotemporaries in this city, the subscription list of the GAZETTE has increased daily, until to-day we issue a larger number than ever heretofore issued by any daily paper published here, except in the times of the great rebellion. This is very encouraging, and we again return our thanks to our patrons.
Additional Local Xcws. CVLL.—Mr. Roache, the saloon keeper, called on the reporter for thi3 paper this morning and asked that it be stated explicitly, that the stabbing affray did not occur in his house. No such a statement was made in this paper, but the inference was no doubt drawn, that it did occur at the saloon, but it was not the case. The cutting took place some distance from the saloon, but, we are informed that it was done by one of Mr. Roache's guests, who had first been crazed with liquor. Mr. R. wanted it stated that he kept an orderly house. As an evidence of his keeping an "orderly house" he ad« mitted that there were a number of fights in it at the time the police entered, and that he put out the light. We have no patience at all with such cases. If a man wants to keep a saloon, let him do so, we don't object, but a man keeping "an orderly house," as a general rule, does not put out the light when officers of the law to quiet the fuss and restore order. That the scene enacted at that saloon, on Saturday night and Sunday morning, was in the highest degree disgraceful, is true from the best information we are able to get in regard to it. An investigation of the whole afl'air, will perhaps bring out the truth. We say perhaps, for it is not always that the truth is learned in the investigation of such riotous conduct. Mr. R. is welcome to the above correction.
IT is now too late to advertise liquor license applications.—Journal. And we suppose that the venders of the ardent will continue business just as many have doue, without license at all. Some time ago we gave a statement that out of the 200 or more liquor shops in the city and vicinity, a large number had not taken out license at all. This is manifest injustice to those who do pay a license, and the error ought to be corrected. Journal, bring your servant girl battery to bear on the chaps.
JITST now Mr. Dunn is going about the country exhibiting the passports authorizing him to quit the country during the war draft.—Journal.

IN TIIE Court of Common Pleas, this morning, nothing of importance to the general reader was done. A few motions by attorneys was all that was done. No divorces granted, was the only important fact made known.
I). W. VOOBHEES will speak at Meroui on the 5th of September. Mr. V. will on that occasion give another illustration of the tax, consequent on the eating of an egg. That is his forte.
NEW GERMAN PAPEU.—The first issue of the Banner, the new German paper, appeared to-day. It is a neat paper, and an able expounder of Republican principles. Success to it.
"Party and tlio Press."
Under the above caption, the Indianapolis Journal, of the 5th inst, contains an article to which, in the main, we most heartily subscribe. The editor of thatpaper starts out with the statement that he occasionally meets "a pitiful* politician who deprecates the idea of an attack on any corrupt man in the organization as tending to demoralize and weaken the party." He avers that he has "even been once cautioned against such attack, as tending to diminish the .circulationof his paper." To this convenient method of silencing the press, the Journal replies: "The unexampled increase, however, of the circulation of this paper since it has not been stopped to spare men calling themselves Republicas when they were guilty of corrupt practitices,would have removed any impression made by such a caution, even if we had not been resolved' to tell the truth for its own sake. "We believe that the way to give strength to a party is to keep it under the control of honest men. This can not be done if rogues are not assailed. The latter, if they may help sometimes to win an election, do so by preparing defeat for many elections to follow. We believe that the principles of a party give it strength or weakness, and that it cannot hope for long success when its principles have been corrupted. To mantain the purity of its principles it must keep at its head its best and purest men."
This is undoubtedly correct, and the sooner all parties recognize these facts, the better it will be. The press, in order to command the confidence of the people must be bold, independent and fearless in denouncing that which is. wrong. And in discharging this plain duty, the editor must not confine his criticisms to the opposition, but must have the courage to strike at bad men within the ranks of his own party. It is absurd to suppose that a political organization will be destroyed by exposing the shortcomings and corruption of such of its members as may assume to control its action for selfish purposes "Independent criticism upon public men," the Journal argues, "is to the party a measure of constant self-purifica-tion!" Winking at the most scandalous practices amoug public men as a means of preserving harmony, is calculated to bring the party into disrepute and to fill honest men with disgust. Let the press guard the interests of the people, and sound the alarm whenever bad men show their hand. Let it p&y its tribute to the worthy, but never allow false notions of policy to screen the guilty.
We further agree with the Journal that "the point of course to be observed alike from policy and rectitude is, on? the one hand, never knowingly attack without good cause, though to be resolute when the cause exists, and, on the other hand, always to be prompt and hearty in correcting any unintended injustice."—IAgonier Banner. .4?

Jay Gould, Commodore Vanderbilt aad Col. Scott have made arrangements fixing a uniform rate of freight charges on the Erie, New York Ceiltral and Pennsylvania Central Railroads from the cities of Boston and Philadelphia. The lowest schedule of prices on first class freight raised to-day nearly 100 per cent. The transportation of live stock between this city and Buffalo has been increased to $140 per car load. The Erie and New York Central have agreed not to extend their contracts with the Merchants Union and American express companies and establish an Express Depot. No reduction has yet been made in passenger fares. The division of business will take place based on an equitable share of profits, the Erie carrying the most freight and live stock, and the other two passengers. This arrangement has been broached but not yet agreed to.

Barranco, but was checked in his march by the Cuban forces of Modesta, Diazhall and Moicano, and retreated to Mauzeanilo, leaving in their hands all his train of cars.

A Man Shoots his Wife.
NEW YORK, August 23.—Last evening Wm. H. Gordon, proprietor of a soda water stand, East Broadway, becoming dissatisfied with the presence of a woman, Colonia McConnell, having a wife and home, wished her to expel her. The lattter refused to expel her in compliance with tho demand. Gordon went to the house and renewed the demand for expulsion of the woman, when high words ensued and Gordon drew a revolver and shot his wife in the temple, inflicting a murderous wound. Gordon then turned his attention to the woman, McConnell, shooting her in the elbow, and finally reloading the weapon sent a ball at his little son, Cutting a piece off his nose. Having satisfied himself from the ox clamations of the victim that the bullet had taken effect, and supposing he had completed the work effectually, presented the pistol to his own breast and fired, the ball lodging about the heart, inflicting a severe but not dangerous wound He then fled from the house but was captured by officers. Gordon will probably die. The cause of the desperate crime is ascribed to the presence of the woman McConnell in the house, to which Gordon objected.

Sacculations Abont tlie War—It Will be
1
Prolonged.
LONDON, August 23.—The Paris correspondent of the London Times, in a communication to that journal this morning, endorses Michael Chevallier's opinion that the war will be prolonged for several months.
He says that the French would consider the destruction of Marshal Bazaine's army as an argument to protract the struggle.
France cannot be conquered because she loses one or two arms in the field. The Prussians are thoroughly prepared for a
siege, and have abundant forces and supplies to withstand a lengthy investment.
The immense extent of Territory involved in the bounderies of the city render it imposible for the Prussians to invade the city, besides it would require a tremendious force to properly close or suspend communication.
No doubt is entertained of the capability of the people of Paris to keep open the communication with cities south.
If the siege be attempted, the government of France will be tranferred to the Tours.
If such a contingency arises, General Woucha will remain in charge of the government in Paris.
The Paris correspondent of the Standard teiegraphs that Bazaine has succeeded in cutting his way through the enemies lines and retreated to Montmedy by way of Audun and Longeoyon.
The Prussians have unavoidingly asked permission to remove their wounded to Germany, to Luxembourg and Belgium.
Further efforts at mediation will be made by the Irish Embassy at Paris before the end of the month.
A dispatch from Paris says Palikoo announced in the Corps Legislatiff yesterday, that he was in receipt of good news from Marshal Bazaine, giving proof of the Marshal's confidence and energy in which the Government shares.
Miss GRIFFIN, one of the heroines of the famous Griffin-Thompson case, publishes a card in the New York press, stating that she is not insane, but that she is "a member of one of our first New York families."

THE war began by the Democratic party to perpetuate slavery, cost the people four thousand millions of dollars. They have already paidj one thousand seven hundred million of the principal and over six hundred million of interest. They have twenty-three hundred million of the principal of this still to pay, and nearly as much more in interest. This is a small part of what the Democratic war has cost the people.—Orange Union.
