Dr. Kepfielp, in one of his letters
Southern politics, in the Cincinnati Com
mercial, has this to say : As long as it
safe to calculate upon Vermont as a Repub
lican State, it will be safe, for purposes of
estimate, to put the Southern States on the
Democratic side. Not that they are Demo
cratic because Vermont is Republican I ne
the comparison only as an illustration. Men
ak me "How lone Jo you think the Sooth
will remain "solid on national issues?" And
I answer " How long do you think Ver
mont will I Republican?' Nothing less
than a break-up that will cause Vermont to
Tote a ticket other than Republican will in
fluence the South to go otherwise than Dem
ocratic.
Tuc rapid erowth and multiplication of
the organizations known as young men'
Christian associations are strikingly shown
by the report of the executive committee
their general convention, lately held
LouisTille, Ky. In 1SG4 there were but
sixty-five associations, which were lor the
most part isolated and struggling for exist
ence. Now there are oyer 1,000 in at least
twenty-four dinerent States bound together
under international. State and provincial
committees, with over 100,000 members,
Thirteen jears ago there was not an associa
tion building; now there are forty-eight
valued at $2,000,000. The entire property
of thee organizations i-. set down at nearly
$3,000,000. Their expenditures for the
year just ended aggregated about 500,"000.
KKTrRNS from Minnesota show that the
State has dishonored herself by rejecting the
amendment to the State constitution author
izing the iaymcnt of fifty cents on a dollar
to holders of bond which, to the amount of
2,275,000, the State issued several years
ago to aid the construction of certain rail.
roads. The bonds hare been pronounced by
the Supreme Court of the United States
proper debt of the State, to the payment of
wb tch the State U bound in equity and good
c mscience, but the obligation cannot be en
forced, because the State cannot be made
the defendant in the suit. Some years ago
an attempt was made to settle this claim by
a payment of one-fourth of the amount, but
the people were not willing to do that, and
voted down the proposition by an emphatic
majority. This year nearly all the bond
holders united in a proposition to surrender
their old bonds on receiving new ones for
about half the amount, payable in thirty
year, ith interest at a reduced rate. This
plan would not hare required any additional
taxation, for the State has lands whoe pro-
reed-, it was intended to apply to the pay
ment of the principal and interest. The
people of the cities generally favored tho
settlement, but the voters in the rural dis-
tricti voted it down by 10,000 majority.
Minncsoti has, accordingly, stepped up by
the bide of ti corgi a as a repudiating State.
The announcement that a contract has
been made with the syndicate of bankers to
iake twenty-fire millions of the new lour per
cent Joan at par in gold Is gratifying evi
dence of the steadily improving credit of the
United State. Of the four and a half per
cents one hundred and seventy-fire millions
bare been issued, and the syndicate are per
mitted to take twenty-five millions more.
No further issue of that loan will be made.
TboM! bonds are now selling at more than
four per cent premium in London. The four
per cents now como to the front. They have
thirty years to run before the Treasury can
exercl-e the right of calling them in at par,
and this fact, with their present authorized
amount of $700,000,000, which is likely to
be increased to the full amount of all bonds
outstanding at higher rates of interest,
makes them the, mct desirable of invest
ments lor all who wish long dates, the best
security and freedom from taxation. For
thirty days, after full notice, these bonds
are to be open to every one at par and in
tere-t in gold, with ninety days in which to
make payment. When we recall the fact
that eight years ago, the six per cent bonds
of the United States could he bought at
about eight-four per cent, we can realize
something of the improvement made in the
national finances and credit, during (Jen.
Grant's administration. Secretary Sherman,
it u said, regards the terms of the negotia
tions as more favorable for the Government
than any contract which has been heretofore
made with a syndicate. And he considers
the ale of the four per cent to be a long
and important step toward resumption of
specie payments.
Tui new temperance movement organized
by Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby in New York
and Brooklyn is assuming formidable pro
portions. Its object is simply to repress
the liquor traffic by enforcing the existing
laws against free rum. Its membership
already approximates forty thousand, and as
each member pays an annual due of $ I , the
aCS"kgat' sum promises to be adequate for
ai-inewj campaign. Dr. Crosby says : "If
we cannot get absolute prohibition, let ns
hare limitation." There are now in New
York alone about ip000 places where liquor
is sold, an average of one to every 120 of
tbe population, young and olJ. The society

The French Cabinet is in the minority in
the French Chamber of Deputies. On the
sixteenth of May the Ftesidcnt.'Marshal
MacMahon, under a clause of the constitu
tion giving him the authority, adjourned tbe
Chamber for one month, to prevent a vote
of condemnation of his new ministry, which
would have passed had it remained in ses
sion. During the thirty days of rcspito
MacMahon hoped his hands would be
strengthened. But the Chamber reassem
bled in the same frame in which it was ad
journed, and his only alternative is to di-
solvo the Chamber and appeal to tho people.
On Saturday he asked tho Senate to concur
in dL-solving the Chamber of Deputies ; and
if a new Chamber should prove to havo a
Republican majority, he will resign. The
Republicans it is stated, are confident that
should the question go to the country, ttey
will be heartilv sustained. Gambctta, in
one ol tboe impassioned speeches for which
he is lamou., on Saturday declared that the
majority would go to the country number
ins oC3 and return 400 strong. If the dis
solution is ordered the general election must
take place within three months. If, as a re-
suit of the election of a Republican majority
of the Chamber, MacMahon resigns, it is
understood that the veteran Thiers would
be made President in his place.

A despatch from St. Michaels, Talbot
county, Maryland, says that Fred Douglass
had ju-t paid a visit, for the first time since
he left there, forty-one years ago, to his
former master, Capt. Thomas Auld. Doug
lass learned his age from Captain Auld,
who has the record of his birth, showing
that Fred Bailey was born in February,
1S18. While there, Mr. Douglass addressed
a large audience of white and colored people.
lle said to the colored people that they were
in contact with the most indomitable, and
the most enlightened race in the world, and
he would be false to bis own race if he did
not tell them what an Immense distance
thev were behind the white people. He did
not believe the colored people were funda
mentally inferior to tho whites, but
they are nevertheless practically inferior.
We must not talk about equality
until we can do what white peo
ple can do. So long, said he, as they
can build ve-feels and. we cannot, we are
their inferiors ; so long as they can build
railroads and we carinot we are their infer
iors ; sj long as the y can found governments
and we cannot we arc their inferiors. U in
twenty years from now the colored race as a
race has not advanced beyond a point where
it was when emancipated, it is doomed. The
question is, will the black man do as much
now for his master (himself) as he used to
do lor his old master.
Mr. Douglass was quite severe upon Prof.
Langston for maintaining that tho mulatto
is the superior of the black man, intellectu
ally. Poor people, he said, are always a
despised peoplo. To be respected they must
get money and property. Without money
there is no leisure. Without leisure no
thought. "Without thought no progress.
The preachers should tell them more what
to do and less what to feel. They should
cultivate their brains more, their lungs less.
They should not depend upon being helped,
but should do for themselves. Tbo Lord is
good and kind, but is of the most use to
those who do for themselves. So man has a
right to live unless he lives honestly, and no
man lives honetJy who lives upon another.
lie added that the Southerners could con
trol the vote of tbe negroes in the Southern
States far more completely than tho North-
ners. The colored man turned instinct
ively for advico and assistance to those who
have been raised with him.
l'i:UUtAL A IV POLITICAL..
From several conversations which different
gentlemen have had with the President,
lately, it seems probable that it will not
hereafter bo tbe policy of the Administration
to appoint Democrats to office, except pos
sibly to tho few places in the South where
qualified Republicans arc not obtainable.
Chief Justice Waite, sinco his return from
trying the Ellcnton riot cases, in South
Carolina, gives free expression to the man
ner in which he was roceived there social-
He was really insulted, and Mrs.
Waite was avoided by the wives of tho
chivalry. The Chief Justico is said to havo
expressed the opinion that in his judgment a
bite man in Sooth Carolina could not be
tcnvicUd of any offence against a negro.
Kenneth Kaynor, of North Carolina, who
has been appointed Solicitor of the Treasury,
made vacant by the retirement of Hon.
George F. Talbot, of Maine, was born in
03, entered public life in 1825, was in
Congress from le'3'J to 1SK, was an old
higand during tho war was a Union man.
He has the reputation of being a man of
high character and an able and experienced
wycr. He was a mcaibcr of the Alabama
Mixed Claims Commission.
When Senator Illainc Mas told that many
people attributed the inspiration of Giil
Hamilton's articlcfi on "relorm talk, degen
crated into tlaud'r" in the Tnbunr tohim,
he said that reminded him of a little story.

hand-i on her hips, set her head on one side,
and, alter looking at tho man for a moment,
exclaimed "I guess. Jcdgc, you don't

The far t is now made public for the first
time tliat CaJct Hipper, whoi-fabsut to

ted out, on Tuesday evening, tbe two candi
dates for tbe Democratic nominations for

sand persons gathered in front of the Club
room, to hear the men who headed the last
National Democratic ticket, but their
speeches have been widely spread by the
pros 4and are sufficiently significant to uc
serve attention.
Mr. Tilden, of course, bewailed the "great
wrong" indicted on the country by the
Electoral Commission, which went back on
him so dtcidedly. and be is jerhaps sur
prised that the Republican party does not
accept meekly rebuke for " counting in ' a
President from the man whose name
was signed to the famous New York
circular bv means of which the fa
mous New York election fraud.
of l&CS were perpetrated, and the vote of
New York stolen by tho Democrats. Mr,
Tilden was clear that President Hayes must
not be allowed to pacify Southern jealousies
and smooth aw ay Southern prejudices ; to re
form the civil strvico, improvo tho public
credit, or restore specie payments, for that
would be consenting to "politics founded on
inferior questions of administrative policy,
which Tilden says his party mu't not toler
ate until hi' wrongs l.avc lcn righted. So
the country must wait, enduring its ills and
letting them grow worse, becauso a uisap-
lointrd politician thmks it wrong lor any
one to be cheerful or prosperous while he is
mi-crable. Mr. Tilden's assurance, how
ever, was not quite equal to tho task of advis
ing or predicting that President Hayes
should bo turned out before the expiration of
his term to mako room for himself. That
he left to Lieutenant-Governor Dorshcimcr,
who said
Why, if Mr. Hayes holds his position un
til 1S-S0 he will go out as an honestly elect
o,l President would. That is not enough.
I think this question will bo settled before
1S?0. What shall we do about
it 'I I T11SV sav that the House of Represent
atiTes has the s-ame power that tho British
limieof commons so resolutely exercises cv
occasions, and I take it that it is within the
Tmmncc of the House of Kercsentatives to
work out a perfect and statesmanlike reme
dy for this wror.g bciorc tuo nex- election.
It iawiid that Mr. Dor-heimcr's remarks
were rccchcd with "laughter" as well as
applause. Hi idei of attempting to unseat
a 1'rcMdent, doubtless struck mo-t of his
hearers as a good joke. It certainly got
little hit port from (Jov. Hendricks, who
said
Tho Democrats will make no factious op
position nor will they seek to embarrass the
Je fwto Administration, but will iustain it
in what is right, because it is right, and for
the welfare of the country, and not at all
because of any fealty to the party that stands
defeated and condemned by the people. The

The New York YirU, the leading organ of
the Democratic party, has but faint praie

Hendricks position. The HrJsays Mr.
Hendricks accurately represents the spirit of
tho Democracy when he says they will make

Geneva, March, 177.
1 have been to a few concerts hero this
Winter ; heard Alfred Jaell play. He is now
the fattest, funniest little man, perched on
short, stout leg, and plays in the smoothest,
liquidot way. Kuns and trills seem to flow
out of his fingers, instead of being played by
their movements. 1 heard Mario Las sing.
Sho is enormously stout, and is laced so tight
she can hardly brpathe, was disagreeable,
had a cold, but tang well. Eontt-ki, I have
heard repeatedly, at concerts. He always
plays with effect. The longest piece naver
seems tedious when ho plays it. Thero is a
large, very plain and naked concert hall
here, called tha Salle Je la llefarmatton,
owned by a company who let it rery cheap,
not more than '2o0 francs, but under various
restrictions, as that tho wholo centre of tho
house, where are tho bc-it scats for seeing or
hearing, shall be only vn J'ranr, tho upper

which they can ask fire francs, reserv
ed scats , or two francs, not reserved ; but
as one i-i much less conveniently nituated
there, no one goes except a few who go
late, or like to bo out of tho crowd. The
one franc places hold over a thousand, so
you can otimate the quantity of cheap de
lisht to ho had here. Add tho free lectures,
and you see what improvement and pleasure
arc open to tlto commonalty here. Of course,
musician" are annoyed, as this is a large, fine
hall, and they can only a-.k a limited price
for places. There are also other restric
tions no lady can sing in a low-necked
dress, the programme has to bo submitted to
the committee who have a strong bias for the
classical and serious , after an encore, jkt
formers are not allowed to come in and play
another piece under a fins of three hundred
francs, etc., etc. All of which seems very
puritanical, but at any rate it secures a good
and elevating style of music at a nominal
price, for the classes not rich. They also do
not kt their wile to any actor or actres, or
allow anything approaching acting.
The churches here are organized curiously.
There seems to be no settled pastor, but the
clergymen preach round from church to
church It is generally announced in the
fajrs who is going to preach, and ifitH
a clergyman j-artieuhirly eloquent, there is
a jerfect crowd, not only of strangers, but
of Ocncvesc , so all the scats are soon fill
ed, and the t-cxton then lets you a chair at
a few soiH, in which you install your-t-elf
in tho aMo. ltut I do not under
stand how they got on without a
regular settled ministry. When there is
nothing el-e one can go to hear Fere
Ilyacinthe. the eloquent pricut who hat
left the ItomLsh church and calls himself
Vhrtttrn Cathufiqve. He simplifies the ser
vice and rends it all in French, believes in
purgatory, invocation of suints, and tho real
Frc-scncc, but rejects the new doctrines of
immaculate conception, and papal infalli
bility , believes in tho marriage of priests
and has married an American widow, and
has a dear little boy. Ho was invited ono
Sunday afternoon to preach in the Knglish

The event of the week was the rcceition
of Tilden and Hendricks by the Tammany
Society and the Manhattan Ciub. There are
always wheels within wheels, end in this
there were a great many wheels inside of
each other. The splurge was originally in
tended by the anti-Tildcn Democracy of this
city as the beginning of a movement to put
Hendricks cn the track three years from
now. Originally it was intendtd to leave
Tilden out of the demonstration the ecue
being that it was merely a good-bye to Hen
dricks who was cn route for Kurope. Hut
Uncle Sammy is altogether too astute for
anything of this kind, and he quietly notified
the managers that they had better invite
him or there would le trouble He had
no idea of permitting Hendricks to have
that per cent, on him. It wus done ac
cordingly, and then Sammy put himself at
the front and what was intended to be a de
monstration in favor of Hendricks get convert
ed into a demonstration in favor of Tilden.
Then came the usual fiht between the local
politician. John Kelly, the head of Tam
many, was bound that Morrisscy, his ancient
enemy, should not have an opportunity to air
himself; and he so manipulated tho demon
stration as to be crcryw hero recognized as
tho Central figure, even though to do it he
had to lionize Tilden, whom he hates most
cordially, liut he cut the comb of Morrisscy
most effectually. Tho speeches of slippery
Sam make amusing reading. In tho crowd
who stood close beside him while ho was
denouncing frauds in politics, were Pclton
who engineered the attempt to buy a llopub
lican elector in Oregon, Tweed's District
Attorney and two of his deputies, a score of
Tweed's liest-known officials, men who grew
rich out of his stealings by Tilden's help,
and every political &hytcr and adventurer in
tbo city. And to such a crowd, the shame
less man who stands first on the list of polit
ical corruptionists.who spent five millions
of stolen money in an attempt to buy him
self into the Presidency, spoke gravely of
the torrible frauds that had kept him out of
the Presidency ! It was the cheekiest per
formance that New York ever saw. Tilden
still intends to be a candidate in 1830.
TIIK RINfi ROr.BEK.
The ring robbers will all get out with the
most of their plunder, except Tweed. The
district-attorney read his confession and has
decided that there is not enough in it to
justify his release, and so Tweed stays to
chafe his soul out, in duress. Sweeney gets
through by restoring about one-twentieth of
nis stealings, ana uonnoiiey uiuo. u i-

is on tho way to this country, which w ill lie

Tweed savs lie has been used very unfairly,
Ho claims that it was understood that when
he made a confession he was to be released
which was true, only his confession was no
confession. The sly old rat only told on
those who were past saving, ana witn wnoin
he had a bone to rick. but the real culprits
who could be serviceable to the lioss here
after, he did not say a word about. And so
District-Attorney Fairehild refuses to let
him pa till he tells the wholo story. It is
amusing to hear men talk of the cruelty of
of keeping Tweed in prison, as tnougu ne
were a martvr. ;uflerin2 for riKhteousncss

robber of modern times. And Tweed him

The Murphy movement which hari swept
the Southern tier of counties in the State
like a whirlwind, is being inaugurated in
this citv. Iho temperance bodies under ttio
skilful leadership of young Tyng, and others
eauallv zealous, havo perfected a consolida
tion, and will mako a movement along the
wholo line. Licenses have been granted as
freely as ever, for the provision in the exclo
law which prohibited licences to all except
innkeepers, who kept three Lcds lor the ac
commodation of the public, was very easily
evaded. Tho rum mills each put up three
bunks in their rear rooms, and unblushingly
swore that they were innkeepers, and got
their licenses. Tho bunks were found con
venient as they could bo used to lay out the
more resp cctablo of their customers when
they got too heavy a cargo on. Practically
there is no regulation or check upon rum
selling in this city it is all free as air.
Everybody sells who chooses, and sells when
over lie chooses, Sundays and weekdays, it
is all one. The temperance bodies are de
termined to put some impediment in their
way and to do it now. They intend to hold
a scries of monster meetings, to awaken tho
public conscience, and then to commence
legal proceedings vigorously. They will or
ganize in every ward, havo vigilance com
mittees, tho best coun-el to take the ca-es
through the court-, and at the meetings they
expect to rotikc it warm for public men who
utand hi tho way of the reform. They in
tend to shut up a great many who cannot
stand the expense of repeated prosecutions,
accomplishing a great deal of good there
by, ns these arc the small bucket-shops that
furnish the very joor, with the vilest rum,
and they Intend as well to regulate the
traffic among those who are too strong to I
sqrelched, comjielling them to at least keep
It within the bounds of decency. All good
citizens are expected to j,in in tie move
ment, and by hhecr force ! public opinion

I think it was the most unprovoked and

her own life to save that of her father she
had done nothing more than r -implo duty,
and thought that her actions v re not any
thing remarkable. Inmyoj .on she
formed one ol the mo;-1 courageous
acts ever known to the world, nd the men
who committed this most lout murder ot in
nocent and patriotic people should be hunted
down with untiring efforts until they aro
brought before the bar of justice. Political
causes undeniably brought the auair about,
Had Judge Chisolm co-operated with the
Dcmocratic'party m the manner ho did with
the Kepublican. he would nave been a popu
lar Democratic leader in that pection. Ihe
recent political events and tho President
policy toward tho South had nothlnj
whatever to do with the riot. The killing
of Judgo Chl-olm has been the premeditated
object of that murderous gang for two or
three years back. In the political campaign
of last year, when he was a candidate for
Congress, numerous attempts were made upon
his life, but all these were thwarted by a
knowledzo beforehand of the intent. He
was followed through the State by this same
gang, and nearly all the meetings at which
he sjioke were broken up and di-banded.
This testimony must bo accepted as fair
and impartial, made by a pcr-en who
would gladly represent the ease in as favor
able a light to the people of MU-issippi as
possible. In view of it, it is u-cless for the
Democratic newspapers to endeavor to pu
anv other than a political construction upon
ho murder, and there is.not a single cir-
cum-tance that can lie cited as a palliation
for the crime, or as an excuse for the fail

Dkavh of Hon IS. H. I-mallev. -This
well-known citizen of Vermont died at Fre-
ighsburg, P- Q.. on tbo 15th inst.,attbe
advanced ago of Ni years. Mr. Sraallcy,
we believe, was born in this county and rc
coivel imcrcly a common school education
preparatory to the study cl the law, which
he entered upon at an early day, and prac
ticed in Franklin and Crand Mo counties,
particularly, for more than forty years. In
1SJ0 he was appointed a collector of cus
toms at Alburgh, where he became acquaint
ed with his first wife, Anna, daughter of
the late Hon. Lewis Sowlos. of Albureh
lor many years the presiding judge of the
urand 1-Ie county court ; and in which
court Mr. timalhy was admitted to
the bar About the year 1320, Mr.
fiuallcy moved to St. Albans, and
actively engaged in the practice ol
his profession in company with the
lato Hon. Henry Adams, constituting
firm ol rare lejral and literary attimmcnts.
Ueides their professional practice, tbey en
tered largely into agricultural pursuits and
into tbe introduction ot blooded stock,
which became widely known throughout
this portion of the coontry. Shortly after
making H;. Albans his residence, .r. smal
Icy lost his wife and ho afterwards married
Julia Marvin, daughter of Hon. Ebenczer
Marvin. Tbey had a son, E. Marvin Smal
ley, K-tp, and a daughter, Cynthia Smal
ley. Tne latter died several years ago. The
lormcr and Mrs. amaiiey survive. iur.
Smalley left tho practice of law in 1&5S,
shortly after the death of his partner, and
settled on his farm in Swanton, wherohe
remained until a few months ago, when he
went to reside w itn bis nephew ,
Mr. u. II. Marvin, in rreligns-
burr. While on the farm ho con
stantly improved the face of nature, making
two blades ol grass to grow wnere oniy one
rrew beforo. and when ho sold out to Capt.
C. H. Keynolds, he departed from one of
the lincst larms in rrauaun county, leaving
it as a monument to testify that the world
was better for his having lived ia it. While
there, engaged in tho-o congenial pursuits,
ho krnt un his readier, mainly in literature
ana somewhat in law, out nevtr uauuieu
ith practice, as he fcometimes expressed
himself, save in a few cases that particular
ly interested him. His last appcaranco was
in the Swanton bonding cac. lie was aio
counsel in the celebrated Catholic church
case- in llihtrate. and earlier in his career
ho was connected with the moro famous
smuggling case that grew out ot tho
Patriot War and held a place in court for
sixteen years. In fact, when wc eo back
to that time and look through the Vermont
Itcnorts we find thatSmallev A. Adams were
on ono tide or tho otner 01 neany every
imDortant case m this part ot crmont.
Mr. Smalley was particularly noted in his
profession as an advocate, and his partner
was equally noted as a counsellor. Mr.
Smalley was not an offico ecker, hecee sel
dom held public trust. During President
Pierce n admim-tration his name was pro
minently mentioned in connection with the
cthcoof I . S. Di-tnct Judge, but be grace
fully retired in favor of his nephew, Hon.
D. A. Smalley, his former pupil and his life
long friend. Mr. Smalley died in the
Koman Catholic faith, having been a mem
ber of tbat church for about thirty years.
His funeral will take placo at St. Mary's

koep down the weods, devil gra, etc., and
if you arc a mind to turn up your setters to
the hct June and July sun in tending that
crop, you may. I won't." Should I do
and talk that way, people would be apt
to apply epithets to me that wouldn't be
very complimentary, I reckon.
But, Sir. Editor, I humbly beg your par
don, and that of your gcntlo reader, for
allowing my unruly pen to thus run oil tbe
track after an alarming evil of our times,
which I never expect to ce wholly corrected.
My main object, in this article is simply
to announce to the public tbat we proposo
to have a Vermont Centennial Jubilee over
our Hoy-Crop, on Saturday the 30th day of
the present month. Exercises to com
mence at two o'clock p, m.. sharp.
Wo intend to proyido an entertainment
for all who may favor us with their pres
ence, which will, in all probability, far ex
ceed that of the corporation dinner of the
University. Distinguished strangers from
abroad are expected ; especially your dis
tinguished Island correspondent, a native
ol our town, with oration and poem suited
to the occasion. If he won't come, let him
go fishing, or where ho plcaee.
Yours, etc., L. J.

HONORS TO CEV. GRANT.
Lumjos. Jone 15. ("en. Grant was pre
sented with the honorary freedom of Lon
don at Guildhall to-day. About 800 ladies
and gentlemen including several members
of th government, American consols,
merchants and representatives of tbe trada
and commerce of London, were invited to
meet the General subsequent to the civic
ceremony. The entrance t) the ball and
corridors of Guildhall were laid with crim
son cloth, and tbe walks decorated with
mirrors and exotics.
G'en. Grant was accompanied by Mrs.
Grant and Minister and Mrs Peirrepont.
Among the gentlemen present were Sir
Stafford Nortbcoto and many members of
parliament. The gold caket containing the
freedom of the city, has on the obverso central
panel a view of thocapitil at Washington,
and on the right and left aro monograms
and arms of the Lord Mayor. On the reverse
side's a view of the entrance to Guildhall,
and appropriate figures, also in gold,
finely moulded and chased, representing tbe
City ol London and the United States, and
bearing their respective shields. The latter
is in rich enamel. At the corners are doa
ble columns laurel wreathed with corn and
cotton and on tbe cover a cornucopia, em
blematical of tbe fertility and prosperity of
the United States The rose, tbe shamrock
and tbe thistle are also introduced. The
cover is surmounted by the arms of
tbe City of London. The casket
supported by American eagles moa'ded
and chafed in gold, the whole standing on a
velvet plinth decorated with tbe stars and
stripes. Gen. Grant was then conducted
by the Lord Mayor to Guildhall, where an
elegant dinner had been provided. Attar
the repast the Lord Mayor proposed tho
health of the Queen which was drank
silently with tbe music of "God save tbo
Queen." Gen. Grant's health was then
proposed, amidst tremendous cheering.
The Lord Miyor in proposing the health of
Gen. Grant said ; "I, as chief magistrate
of the city of London, and on tbe pirtof
tbe corporation offer you as hearty a
welcome as sincerity of language can convey.
Your presence here as tbe late President of
the United States is specially gratifying to
all classes of the community, and ws
feel, although this is your first visit
to England, it is not stranger
we greet, but a tried and honored friend,
twice occupying as yoa did the exalted po
sition of the President of tha United States,
and, therefore, one of the foremost represen
tatives of that country. We confer honor
upon ourselves by honoring you. Let me
express both the hope and belief that when
you take your departure, yoa will feel that
many truo friends of you, personalty, and
alo of your cooptrymcn. have been left behind-
I havo the distinguished Honor ol
proposing your health. May yoa long live
to enjoy the best of health and unqualified
happiness.
Gen. Grant left about lour o'clock, ac
companied by the representation.

ISENCH POLITICS TOE APPROACHING CRISIS
DISSOLUTION OT THE CHAMBER.
Paris, June IB The sections of the left,
last evening, adopted a resolution to bo
brought forward in to-day's session ot the
deputies. Tbe text of this resolution is net
to be published beforehand, but the Rap pel
states that it strongly condemns the policy
ot the cabinet. All the deputies left for
Versailles, this mornine, to confer prior to
the opening of the sitting. Tbe responsi
ble editor cf tbe Marseillaise has again
been summoned to answer a charge of
violation- tbe press laws. In the Jour
nal Omciel, to-day, is published a not?
replying to tho assertion of certain per
sons hostile to the government, to tho
effect that the change in the mints
try disturbed the commercial and manu
facturing interests of the country, Tho
situation in Franco is becoming more in
teresting as the conclusion of the crisis draws
nigh. Tbe quiet demeanor of the republi
can masses in the groat cities is not indif
ference, but rather an evidence of the con
sciousness of their strength. On the
reassembling of tbe chamber of deputies at
Versailles to-day, M. Foorton, minister of
the interior, sent a message to tbe Senate

Paris, June 17. President MacMahon in

justice to my intentions and will choose
deputies who will promiso to support mo.
You will perceive tho necessity to
deliberats promptly on this im
portant resolution. After the senate had
referred the question of dieolution to the
bureaux it adjourned till Monday. In the
chamber of deputies Saturday Mr. Berth
mont. a moderate republican, moved tho
left's interpellation. He made a speech.
vehemently attacking tbx government.
Fourton. minister of the interior replied to
Berthmont. He said the coootrv would
decide who was richt. Tbo act of the 16th
of May saved society and the constitution.
The present ministers belonged to the con
tinent a.-semblv and aided in the liberation
of the territory. The left hereupon pro
tested and gave Thiers an ovation. Four
ton concluded as follows: Tho government
had no thought of favoring a return to
the pat Irom which tbo country was
forever separated. Gambctta replied.
Daring his speech ho used tbe eipres-

old and illustrious man. meanin?
Thiers. ThU ud to a lively scene. Gambct
ta urged prompt dissolution Otherwise
tne Government would Deoren to tbe charge
of debasing the elections. It was because
the chamber had been wie and prudent
that MacMahon had been induced to enter
on his adventurous course. What will bo
the result? The majority will go to the
country numbering 3('3 and return 400
