TLE&. FOR HELP.
Relief Asked for the Plttston Sutler era.
Thl morning the Mayor issued the following
self-explanatory appeal:
Office or the Mator of the Citt of
Philadelphia, June 1, 1871. A terrible cala
mity ha recently happened at Fittston, in the
interior of our State.
Whilst a large number of poor men were en
gaged In their laborious vocation as miners in a
coal shaft over S00 feet below the surface of the
ground, a fire occurred at the month of the
shaft, and tha burning timbers falling la upon
them, many of the poor men met with a most
dreadful death, leaving their families destitute
and helpless.
The condition of their widows and orphans ia
deplorable in the extreme, and their cry comes
to us in agonizing tones, appealing for help.
Though we cannot restore to them those whom
they have thus lost, we may do something to
temporarily alleviate their sufferings.
Philadelphia has never turned a deaf ear to
the voice of distress, and I feel assured that the
appeal now made will not be disregarded.
Any donations for the purpose left at this
cflice will be promptly forwarded to the local
Committee of Kellef at Pittston.
Dawiel M. Fox, Mayor.

Tillers Promises to Maintain the Republic.
VertaitleH Correspondence uf the Iniependanc Beige,
After the stormy discussion respecting the
peace treaty, M. Thiers held a reception. It
was remarked that only tbe Left centre and tbe
whole Republican centre were present; M.
Thiers warmly received the Deputies who had
so firmly supported him. "I thank you," said
he. "for the patriotic assistance you have givee
me. Iara happy to Bee the men who represent
the republic support me in the ditllcult task I
have accepted, and which I hope soon to bring
to a good end. I have declared myself for the
republic. You understand that if I, an old
monarchist, declare the republic to be the true
form which the Government of France should
assume, it is not without much reflection that I
have attained this conviction.
"I am an honest man. At the'age I have
reached one has but one interest that of being
favorably remembered." I shall therefore de
ceive no one. I shall not betray the Republic.
As long as I am at the head of the Government
tbe Republic win be in no danger, a certain
tart of tbe Right hat shown Itself hostile to me
personally. What can I do in the matter? I it
because I will not lend myself to any combina
tion ? The Duo D wished for the Embassy
to Russia. M. M. T. wanted me to restore the
official candidature in favor of oue of his rela
tions: 1 shall not restore it. I know why these
gentlemen attack me. It is because I do not do
what thev and their friends ask of me. I am
sorry for It. But with your help and that ot tha
country I hope at length to re-estaousa order,
which is so essential to us. with tbe Republic.
which is no less bo. I feel a conviction that
Justice will be done me at last. This langaage,
uttered frankly and even with good humor,
made a deep Impression on tbe numerous Re
publicans who thronged tne rooms or. tne pre
fecture. Maggacre In Algeria.
Walla Carrttnondene f the London Time.
Accounts from Algiers to tne otn ot Aiay state
that the insurrection continues to rage as
fiercely as ever, and some dreadful massacres
bad been perpetrated by the Arabs at Delly,
Bougie, and Palestro. At the last-mentioned
village tbe whole male population, consisting
of 46 individuals, were murdered, with the
greatest brutality and the women and children
carried off into 'the Interior. It is satisfactory
to learn, however, that In almost every engage
ment with the French forces tue Kabyles bave
been driven back with loss. The Italian iron

were in the neighborhood for the protection of
the interests of Italian aad Spanish subjects.

The Colonist and Express approve of the treaty,

approves and disapproves of the treaty, express
lng a desire to see more favorable conditions to
the portion relating to the fisheries. In the
latter paper last evening the following telegram
from one of the Ottawa Cabinet appears:
"If the treaty is ratified by the oueea the portion
respecting the fisheries wi.l he accepted or rejected
by the Canadian far'laiuent next sesslnn. Govern
ment and Parliament are quite free to deal with lt
as the interests of CALada may require."

the treaty has been ratified.

FRANCE.
THE NEW MINISTERS.
We give below brief sketches of the two new
members of the French Ministry appointed by
M.Thiers to succeed M. Picard and General
Leila:
SI. Victor Lefranc, Minister of tha In
. terlor.
. M. Lefranc, who has succeeded M. Picard as
Minister of the Interior, was born at Garsin, in
the Basses Pyrenees, on the 2d of March, 1809.
He received a good education, but was not
prominent in politic until after the Revo
lution of 1848, when be was elected to the
Constituent Assembly, avowedly as a repre
sentative of the party of order, but really
as a supporter of the restoration of monarchy.
He supported Louis Napoleon against the Red
uatll tbe real designs of the President became
apparent, when he at once went Into opposition.
At tbe time of tbe dispersion of the Assembly,
when a number of the Representatives met at
tbe Mayoralty of the Teath Arrondl6sement and
decreed the deposition of Louis Napoleon M.
Lefranc was not present. After their arrest,
however, he, with Blxlo, went to Mazas Frlsoa
voluntarily and earolled himself a prisoner. He
wa soon released, hawever, when he went In to
retirement, from which he did not emerge until
after the overthrow ef the empire last Septem
ber. M. Lefranc is probably an Orleanist, but
of that there Is no certainty. He is said to be a
man of ability, bnt te be lacking in firmness
and decision of character.
General Courtot de CUsey,Mlnlster of War
Probably the most extraordinary appointment
ever made by M. Thiers i that of General Cis
sey a Minister of War to succeed General
Leflo, named Minister to Russia. Lefle is one
of the most preneunccd of anti-Bonapartlsts;
Clssey is, or at least was, a warm adherent of
the Napoleonic dynasty. He is a man in the
prime of life, and was born in Northern France.
He studied at the Ecole Mllitalre, and, after
graduating, was commissioned a sons lieutenant
and sent to Africa, where, in the endless wars
with the Arabs, he won reputation and promo
tion. Dnring the Crimean war be served with
credit, as also during the war in Italy, winning
the rank of brigadier-general and subsequently
that of general of division. For three or
four year previous to the outbreak of
the war of 1870 he was in command
of one of the military division of France,
the last being the Sixteenth division, with head
quarters at Rennes. No greater proof can be
found of his Napoleonic sentiments than the
fact just stated. On the declaration of hos
tilities hit division, with the Fifth corps, to
which it belonged, wa sent to Metz, and Gene
ral Cissey participated In all the battles at
and areund that city. He surrendered with Ba
raise, and remained in Germany on parole, when
he returned to France. The conspicuous part
be took in suppressing the Commune rebellion
in Paris Is too recent to need recaditulatlon.
Unless the sentiments of General Cissey have
changed since September last he is still a Bona-partlt-t,
and with his appointment as Minister
of War the entire military government of
France has been placed in the hands of the ad
herents of Napoleon.
