The following ia the letter which has been presented to ex-Secretary Cox by the gentlemen to whose meeting we recently referred. It speaks for itself, and its sentiments will, we believe, meet a hearty response throughout the country: New H.vven, Conn., Nov. 4, 170. Hon. J. D. Cox : Kir: Ab a public Rorvant retiring from a most Im portant oillce In the Government of the United Statea, you liave a right to know whether your fel low citizens approve iho manner In which you have administered your truwt, ami jour reasons for re signing It. We. therefore, as citizens of Mia United States, though most of u are personally unkuo.vn to you, may properly address you on the occ islou of your retirement from the place you have liell In thi National Government. For ourse'ves only, and not In any representative character, yet couiideut tuat we express the .thought and feeliugof tUiusamls who, like ourselves, are habitually observant, of uun lie affairs, we say to you, well done! We approve most hetutliy the policy which you have labored to introduce into the Department of the Inte rior, aud with the same heartiness we approve your At termination to retire from that department when you found yourself obstructed in prosecuting the preut reformation to which you had committed yourself. You carry with you In your retirement iroin oitlce the warm approval aud the best wifelKB of thousauds of patriotic men, who have no Interest inpc liitcs other than their interest us citizens in the well-being and doing of the republic. In cur judgment, no qui stion now pending Is more Importait to the future well-being and well-doing ol the republic lhau the question of that reformation which you have attempted in the Department of the Interior, and which ought to be can led uucom proniisinglv through the entire civil service of the country, Tho question whether all oillces 111 the gift of the President and of the heads of depart ments shall be distributed as "spoils" by one part nership ot nun who traio In politics or by another perhaps a little less corrupt and nerhaps a little moie whin It becomes, as it sometimes does be. oome, the only question between two gre.it politi cal parties, Is insigniiioant in com- Earison with the question whether the usluess of the Government shall be conducted on business piiiiclplce, or on priuoiules wmch would bring any business man to bankruptcy la a twelve niriiili. This qu stion of reforming tne manner or appointments and the tenure of oillce In tins elil service is really nothing less than the question whether the people shall be served or ruled served by competent and experienced men, or ruled by party managers tad political tricksters. The laying of assi ssinents on office-holders, enforced by threats of dismissal from oillce, is nothing else than cO'iielling men to purchase Mielr oflld 8 with brines. While we regret the circumstance wiii h Induced you t. resign your t'llice, we are confident tn.ir, the cause witti . which yon are thus honorably Identified will prevail, and that the honest and patriotic people will soon take t'.is nuestion out ol tho hands of nilitioal managers, uud save the country by demanding a moroiigii reiorm oi me civu service. very respectfully, your lellow-citizens aud friends, Theo'iore l.

FOR THE Ills Views on the Future Policy of the llenub' llcnn Party-The Alabama ilittiiM to Fur1 nlali (.aiiliiil for tlio Presidential i iiiiiimtKU Lowell, Mass., Nov. 7. General Butier, in a recent conversation, said that he intends to make a speech at an early day upon what he holds to be tho policy the administration ought to purtue in order to keep tho Republican party together, aua give it new vigor auu suou a uom upon public confidence as to inbure its triU'.Ujiii In the next 1 residential canvass, ana no uave an outline of the opinions he intends to present The Kepublicau party, ho taid, Is not no.v united upon a biuuie question oi puoiic policy, Upon the tariff question it ia Eplit iu two by the backbone of the Allci'licnies.

The Republican party, General Butler thinks, baa been kept alive for the past two years solely by the unwillingness ot tne people to in trust power to a party which sided with the country's enemies during the war. These war memories will not last much longer, however, and cannot be counted upon to furnish political capital for the Presidential struggle two years btuce. ny mai time me Democrats will tiav fully accepted the results of the war. lie construction, suff rage, aud all domestic issues growing out of It will have been fully settled and finally disposed of, and will furnish no pos sible loundation ior tne republican party to construct a platform upon. There is one question of the war, however, that is not set tled, and that is the foreign question. The wo.-Ldc received by our luUju.iI hou jr at t'aj Lauds of Great Britain are not yet healed, and it is the duty and true policy of the administra tion, according to General Butler, to at once demand and enforce the settlement of the Ala bama claims. litre is a question upon which the President can lead tbe Republican party and unite it in his support. A vigorous prosecution of these claims to a satisfactory settlement within the next year would make the re-election of Grant inevllable. Tbe people would tally to his support with enthusiasm, and the Republican party would be given Immense strength and a new leafe of life. In reply to a question as to the nature of the settlement he would have proposed to England, and the way of bringing it about. General Kutler said that a special ageut or Ambassador Extra ordinary should bo sent immediately to Lon don, and Instructed to put the case to Earl Gran ville somewhat in this way: We have waited long enough for a BcttlPment of these claims, my Ixrd, snd we propose to wait no longer. They are a constant source of irritation be tween our (iovcrnnipiit and yours, and between our people arid yours, and no goml can come of longer delay, ltesldea, it has become a question of political policy with us at home, and we are determined to nave a settlement at once, amicably if possible, but if this Is not possible, then by otVr means. As between your Government and ours, these claims nrc very heavy. The damage done to our com merce by your pirates was enormotiR, and tho pro longatlon of the war caused by your course was an lnra'culable Injury to us. No amount of money which you are able to pay would make full repara tion for the wrong you did us. Still, ns between our Government and our own cltizeus these chims are not large. Most of our ship-owners who lost ves sels were Insured. We would not have to py them nor the insurance companies, who were compensated for their losses hv the war risks thev charged lu their premiums. Nor wonld It be practicable to roturn to ship-owners the extra premium they paid, nor make pood tothe actual losers tne great loss simfained oy our commerce in a pi neral wav bv the destruction of our ocenn-carrying trade. We should only h ive to pay our citizens who actually lost ships or mer chandise, and were not Insured. Tnis fact, how ever, does not at all lessen the magnitude of the claim we have as a nation against Great IirlUin, but it enables us to otrer you liberal terms of s-ttlemerft. Now, these are the terms we otfer you : We will as sume the claims and settle with our own people., and we will take from you all your provinces north of ns. They are only a burden to you, and must sioner or Inter gravitate to us. We want them no w to get rid of the expense and annoyance of keeping up custom-houses on a frontier line of 4'Mio miles, and to settle the troubles about the fisheries We do not propose, however, that you should barter them awny or abandon them In any dishonorable m in ner. We will have a plebls' iturn, ami we will agree to take only eueh provinces us shall freely elect to join the Unired States. But tho vote mupt be taken by provinces, for we will have nothing to do with your Dominion, which you put up to nmke an unfriendly power on our northern border, when you thought we should have a powerful enemy at the South in the successful C'litifedemte States. When the vote is taken, which must be done without the assistance of yourGov- rninent iigents, we will give vou a receipt In full of nil claims we have against ynu, and tane only such provinces as vote ave unon tlie question. This we cniThUier a very liberal oiler on our part, and it is our ultimatum. If you do not accept it we propose to light. Such a course ou the part of tho administra tion, General Butler is confident, would electrify the whole country, and bring such a powerful public sentiment to the support of the President hat his re-election would be sure to follow. England, he thinks, would come to our terms at once, when she found we were in earnest, and determined to enforce them. There would bo no war, for England dare not to go to war with any first-class power. The provinces would vote to join us, or it only one or two ot them should, we should have got in the entering wedge; the Dominion would be split in pieces, and tbe other provinces would be sure to come to us in a year or two. AV'ith a few millions wo could pay the people whose property was actually destroyed by the British pirates, and w e would more than get it back in a year by our Incrensed revenue trom our enlarged domain and our increased commerce. It is understood that General Butler has already urged these views upon the administra tion. EUGENIE IN ENGLAND. A Htormy lutervlew with Plon-Plon. The London Daily Aews of the 2Sth ultimo contains a long aud interesting defenso of the course of the Empress Eugenie, which appears to be authoritative, it claim i that her resideuce at Cbiselhurst is not a resort of iutnguers, and the visits of the imperialists to her are not en couraged. The comiuuuleation concludes with the lollowing singular recital: "It Is proper to add that laraily mtrigue3 succeed no better with the Empress than tuose which are hatched from beyond tho Rhine. What is known ot the two interviews between the Empress and her cousin, Prince Napoleon, serves to show her firmness and her just appre ciation of men as well as of circumstances. It is well known, indeed, that the Emperor's cou sin has never been in any great odor of sanctity at the Tuilerics, and that tho Emprtss personally has taken little paliis to conceal her prep jsses sions against one whom she has always consi dered the Emperor's enemy. The political temper ament of Prince Napoleou and his philosophical and moral opinions were, it is true, but Utile iu accordance with thoe of the Empress, aud tho sad events of which France has been tho victim did not in any wuy tend to reconcile views or feelings between which there had been no possible J olut of contact. Be that as it may, und not to push an inquiry into psychological peculiarities, it is certain that the second aud last visit of Piince Napoleon at (Jhisclhurst ended iu an explosion. Tbe Priuce may pro test as much as lie likes, that will not alter the facts. ' Dining this last visit Prince Napoleon, with his usual impulsiveness,' allowed himself to ex press sianewhat harshly his opiulous touchlug the different ministries of tho last month of tbe Empire, nnd he went so far as to call one of them a ministry of idiots (crttins). Now, tho sentiment of gratitnde Is very strong with the Empress, and she made reply to her illustrious cousin of which the following sentences convey the substance, if not Ibe precise words: 'I know not, Mouteigneur,' said the Empress, 'what vou mean by a niinistiy of idiots, but what I do ktow is that down to the last moment the Emperor was served by devoted aud faithful triei ds. For the last eighteen years j'ou have opposed the empire. You and those about you Lave never ceased to undermine it; and to-day, w hen the Emperor is fallen, you pursuo him still. I lad you been at Paris on the 4th Septem ber you might have been able to give ns good advice, Hit you were abseut, as you have so cfttn happened to tie, at the moment of danger; of course to your great regret, as I do not doubt.' Upon this Prince Napoleon tarried no longer. Lie took up lis hat aud left tho room PRUSSIAN IURKARITIES. The Treatment ot nc- Uuentin Knzelllea a Heap of Jf uln l'eirible Hullerluva of .tho Krcntb.

Von Kabldbn. Ft. o-ier tin, October 22, W". I TLe following account of the occupation of Ft. Quentln by the Germans is taken from the i'cho du Kord: Tho Prussians otdy remalacd In St. Qnentln for the period necessary to collect the war contribu tion. They came on Friday by noon, and asked the sum of two million francs, under penalty of the town being pillaged. The members of the Municipal ComtDittee were declared prisoners of war. It may be recollected that after thlr entrance Into Laon thry required one million, but were satisfied with the 2:i0,ooo frstics that were of fered to them. The St. tjueutln Municipality tried to obtain some similar reduction, bnt less fortunate than that of Laon, It was obliged to pay within 24 hours a sum of I't 0,C0 francs, and to contribute fifty horses. The horses which were presented not hav ing leen cons'dered good enough, the contribution In cash was Increased to 9r0,oi8 franca. The ollleers ai d soldiers were lodged with the Inhabitant. The conditions Imposed were that each soldier was to be fed by the Inhabitant who gave him lodging. He was to be comlortably and substantially fed, and to icceWe one battle of wine every day. The follow ing day, that Is on Saturday morn log. half the garri son left St. tuentin to go and reluforce the corps which was to besiege La Fere. One thousand Prus sians remained at St. (Qnentln, five hundred more watched the road between this town and La Fere. To hold so large a town as St Vuentin with so feeble a garrison, the Prussians trusted, as they always do, to the tenor they Inspire by the menaces of death, and a'so to the fact that the population was disarmed, for on the entrance of the Prussians Into the town they were cautious enough to order, under penalty nf death that arms of all kinds should be delivered up to them. On awaking on Sunday morning tho population was quite surprised to discover that not ore Prussian was to be seen, and everybody asked What had become of them? Whatever may be tUe cause of the hurried departure of the Prusslaus, certain It Is that on Sunday niornlug the corps occu pying St, (nentin, and the small army which had been laying siege to La Fere, were precipitately pro ceeding for an unknown destination. Terrible accounts come from Bazcille, which was destroyed by the Prussians. A correspon dent of a contemporary writes: On the 23th instant I visited it for the fifth time, and ran a serious risk of being killed by the fearful'ava lanches of walls, which fall with a crash never to be forgotten, first to left, then to right, then in front of me, while I was endeavoring to persunde the people, estimated at 400 by the cure, who still sleep there, to leave their cellars, pigsties, etc., and sleep anywhere rather than ai ong the ruins. Ten days ago I visited Ba zeilles by night, and fouud six or seven families one of ten. one of five, another of nine, another of four, another of eight persons, another of two or three all ranged in a row in their cellars, like bottles of wine men, women, and chil dren mixed. At that time tho cellars were not j et damp. Now they are saturated with rain, which pours iu freely. May God help tho poor people; H is almost beyond the help of man. At this moment Bazclllcs Is exactly like Pompeii. A month Lcnco it will be a heap of stoues, for the very mins are falling in with dreadful crafhes and choking up the entrances to the cellars, where a few poor wretches are still sleeping. THE TRLVCESS LOUISE. Her Appronchlng Ilnrrinc with tbe itlnrquls oi liorne. A correspondent of the New York Evening J'ost writes from London as follows: The probability of a marriage between tho Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise has for some time been talked about in England. A feeling has widely prevailed that as eligible Protestant ! princes are hard to find, and every year has made the (ailureo. tho male line of the royal family less likely, an alliauce with the representative of ono of the great historic families of the peerage would be very fit and proper, the royal marriage act pronioiting such alliances, except with the consent of tho sovereign, was passed in the reign of George the Third, and had Its origin in the very undesirable connection lormed by that monarch s brothers, aud the bickerings and jealousies which resulted from them. The Princess Louise, in selecting a husband among her mothers subjects, couia scarcely have made a choice less likely to cause jealousy than lu fixiug upon Lord Lome, lie belongs to a famous historic house; ho is personally de serving and perfectly unassuming; his maternal grandmother, tne late Diicness oi isutnenana, was the uueen s nearest lriena, anu ner com panion and consoler in the darkest hour of her deep bereavement; ana nis momer uas aiso en- ovt d a large snare oi ner sovereign s auection. Although in point of rank and reputation second to none in the British peerage, the house of Argyll is In respect of wealth by no mjans in so advantageous u position, and the Princess's choice proves how slight an importance she and her mother attach to money as a means ot hap piness. John, Duke of Argvll, created also Duke of Greenwich in England, who plays so prominent aud picturesque a part in the "Heart of Midlothian," bad no son, and at his death a large slice of bis fortune was divided amsug his daughters. The eldest martied the heir of tho then Duke of Buccleuch, carrying considerable wealth into that family. This circumstance, together w ith the reckless extravagance of sub sequent holders of the title, has tended consi derably to reduce tho once princely revenues of the Dukes of Argyll. However, the present peer is so prudent and sensible a man, and real estate in Pcoiiauu increases so steaauy in vat tie, that probably another twenty years will see his vast property in a great degree free from incum brances and adequate to support tne dignity oi the new alliance. The dowry of the Princess Royal v. as fJOO.OOU, nnd an annuity ot 40,OUO; that ot princess Louise of Hesse 1150,000, and30,000 annuity. Probably that of the Princess Louise will be fixed at a sum not exceeding that of the usual settlement made on the wife of a wealthy Eug- lish nobleman, n'o.uou a year. Lord Lome s only roamed 6ister is the wife of Earl Percy, eldest sou of the Duke of North umberland. THE ELECTION.

Whythe Armistice Failed FrussiaDcclared Responsible. History of the Negotiations. LATER ELECTION RETURNS. Lutheran General Conference. FROM EUROPE. Clrrulnr of Jnlen Knvre-Prnnxta lle.pinHlble tor tno rniiure to tune fence. Lonpon, Nov. 10. Advices have been re ceived by balloon from Paris to the 8th in9taat Jules Favre had issued a circular to the repre sentatives of France in foreign countries, assur ing them that Prussia must assume the respon sibility of rejecting the proposal of an armistice. Prussia proves anew, says Favre, in rejecting the armistice that she makes War tor Pemonal Aim merely, and not for the interests of Germany. Xothing can apparently induce her to relinquish the pretext of the French refusal to cede her provinces to Prussia. She seeks our destruction and will be satisfied with nothing else. Favre then proceeds to lay before the French ambassadors a detailed Account of the Nexotlntlon with M. Bismarck for an armistice, and shows w hat he regards as the unreasonable demands of the Prussian authorities, ne says the Prus sians, since tho fall of the empire, have twice refused to listen to the overtures for peace emanating from France. Now, however, after Paris has been besieged tor fifty days without showing any signs of weakness, Prussia eeems disposed to negotiate. The Parislans,ln consequence of the breaking out of a rebellion within the city, have created a government of defense which tho neutral powers of Europe ought to recognise as the rightful government. Prussia has already re cognized that government. M. Favre says the negotiations for an armistice wero Interrupted by the refusal of tho Germans to permit the Kevlctiinlllna or Paris during the term of tho armistice, lie says that he argued with the German authorities in favor of tho necessity and propriety of such a victual ling, showing that without such a concession the armistice would be no armistice at all, but continual war. The proposition was, therefore, rejected. Tho negotiations were then brought to an end becauee they clearly showed that Prussia was Eceklng to destroy the French army, and was equally anxious to destroy the French people, else she would not subject the ncn-combatants of the city of Paris to the Horror, cf Famine. The neutral powers of Europe had demanded that an opportunity should be Lad for the assembling of the French Deputies, In order that the question of peace might be considered This demand has been denied by Prussia, or practically denied, they being clogged with im possible conditions. Prussia's charge that tne aosnce ot a French Government obliges her to starve Paris is false. The Prussian negotiations, which began with a fervent respect for the French people, cease with a refusal of the opportunity to hear them. M. Favre concludes as follows: "An armis tice is the only means whereby the expression of the French people on the consequences of The Imperial rime can be obtained, rrussia practical ty asxs us to lay down our arms as a preliminary to a consultation of the national will, and that the population of Paris, men, women, and children, shall starve pending the vote. We call right and justice to witness against them. Germany herself, if consulted, will condemn them. 'The Government will faithfu'ly attempt to render peace possible, aud in that she will have the co-operation of the army of Paris. Mean while Paris Call to Arms to show what a great people can do to defend their home, their honor, and their independence. You will make these facts known as the oppor tunity may arise."

A New Arrival on this Continent Interesting lo naiurausis. A gentleman who came down from Fort Buford, says the Sioux City Daily Times, gives us the lollowing intormaiion regarding a spe cie of animal hitherto unknown on tuts con tinent: Sir John E. Packenham, an omcer In the English army, who had been spending the last vear in her Majesty s northern pioviuces, ar rived at l ort Butord with an animal ot rare beauty, and never before caught on this conti nent, nor has it been known till late years that this species existed in this country, it is ot the same family as the giraffe, or cameleopard, of Africa, and is known to naturalists as tho TvKomelia. They are known to inhabit the hiiih table lauds of Cashmere and Hindoo Rosb. but are more frequently seen on tho high peaks of llhe Himalaya Mountains. Tbe animal was taken when quite young, and is thoroughly domesticated, and lollows its Keeper ns.e a uog. it is ouiy iour months old, and ordinarily stands about five feet high, but is capable of raising its bead two feet, which makes the animal seven feet when standing erect. It is of a dark brown or mouse color, large projecting eyes, with slight indica tions of horns growing out. This wonderful animal was caught north of Lake Athabasca, on the waters of Mackenzie s river. It has a craw similar to the pelican, by which means it can carry subsistence for seve ral davs. It was very fleet, being able to outfoot the fastest horse in tho country. The black dapper spots on the rich brown color make It one of the most beautiful animals in exltdeucc, more beautiful than the leopard of tbe Chinese jungle. Sir John did not consider it sale to transport his pet by water down the Mississippi River, fearing the uncertain naviga tion and the great change of climate from tbe Mauitabo to ibe sunny South, lie bar-, there fore. wUelv concluded to go by way of St. Paul, Minn. The commander at Fort Buford furnishes him an escort for tbe trip. He will then proceed through Canada to Montreal, w here he will ship his charge to England. A HUUISEU'S WIFE. Mrs. Cobura Shot by Her Puaillstle iiuaoanif. About 4 o clock: this morning, as umcer Quiun, of the Fifteenth precinct, was patrolling his post on Broadway, near Eighth street, he i mm ached bv a woman in a half-nude state, who asked to be taken to the Eighth Ward Station House, one saiu uer um w jir. Coburn, and that her husband, Joe Coburn, the prize-fighter, had just shot her through the rl&ht snOUlUer a' mc" iuuiuo m iuo Aicvr York Hotel. Qulnn took the woman to the Fifteenth Precinct Station House, where Police Surgeon Freely dressed her wounds. utneer tuinn. wun two otner policemen, went to the New York Hotel, comer of EigLth street and Broadway, and arrested Coburn, who was asleep In bed. He was subse quently arraigned at Jefferson Market, but Ids wife failed to make any charge. Judge Fowler discharged tho prisoner. Coburn's account of the affair is that be came home drunk, and whii trvinir tn taUp nff his clothes. oreDaratorv to going to bed, his pistol accioeniany went on, the ball striking his wife in the right Shoulder, "jn ---- . - as above stated. Mrs. Coburn, when Ukeu to tbe station house, said that her husband had tired at ber three times. This is probably the truth, as Coburn was lu a beastly state of intox ication, and bad not recovered from the effect latt evening.

The banks discount quite freely for their de positors, bnt they are firm in tone and readily obtain ty,Ca t per cent, ihe discounting is also di ne nomiually at the latter Igare, but in the outside market money is not accessible in large or small amounts at less than 7 per cent, on A 1 paper, with collateral security. The main fea ture to-day is steadiness. Moid is steady and rather weak, the sales opening at 110?;, and closing at 110,. Government bunds are quiet, but quite steady at yesterday's figures. At tbe Stock Board there was considerable activity, and prices were stronger, but the bulk of the business was in Reading Railroad, which sold largely at 51 3-IC.fo 51 l-io.
