Xtwasknownthat M Rouher would speak, as well as Marshal Nlel, the War Minister, and it seemed that all. the lighter heads in Paris felt mystically and fatally drawn to that arabesque cupola. A hali-clrcular skylight, over the presidential seat let fall a curtain of daylight that heaped nnon toe centre of toe floor, and Spread attenua ted around the hall. Twenty columns of too pnrest Carrara, each a monolith rounded and polished to toe last degree, rose from the cum «f toe floor like moonbeamß and touched toe roof, reflected In the glearnlnig rod marble of too w alls. There were statues Wherever they would go! fbehlnd the -throne a huge bas-reUeftso pro foundly symbolical as to serve, like toe Vicar of Bray, In any dynasty; as well as a,great painting, supposed to represent Xonls PhUippe adopting the Charter, discreetly vailed with the fluted damask of oblivion. At the instant of two o'clock toe little doors wph had given ns admission opened behind our hacks, causing some of the less secure stenders to fall out into toe corridor. The red waistcoats projected themselves among' ns and gave vent to sepulchral sounds of •*Chapeaux bat, Metsieurt, Chapeaux has, toe President comes.” President Schneider, who Is the very dock-note of punc tuality, had arrived from his palace, the Old. Hotel liassay, In the neighboring Ruede l’Unl versltd. He had undergone toe little bit of strut ting which etiquette assigns to mbst public characters In France; he had marched through a double file of soldiers presenting arms, to the door of the Hall, preceded by a couple of ushers in eUver chains, attended on either side by the naked swords of a lieutenant and sub-lieutenant, and followed by. his secretaries. Delivered from his escort, he now entered, toe smallest of dxy white old men, all eyebrows and spun glass hair, and the Invisible part of him glossed over with an exact evening suit, veix black in / the black parts, and very starchy in the white. Be trod gingerly up the steps of his dais, car rying a hat of the old school, glossy and curly, •which he proceeded to lay on the table; this hat is no ordinary head-box; it is overshadowed and spiritualized by a traditional prerogative which it awful, and almost sheds allegoric dig nlty!uf>ott that honest artisan, the presidential hatter. It is said that if ever a sitting should get i OO stormy—after the President Bhould have ham mered the table and rung his great silver dinner bell to the limit of desperation—he would put on the hat, which would raise the session. No President ever does it; and It is not considered that the most irritable, vicious and little of Presidents wili ever like to do it; but the thing is among the possibilities,' and there sits the empty and.as it'were, unuttered, hat for a reminder. M. Schheider, extending this threat carelessly before -him, sank “wearily into a crevice of his great gold and crimson chair, in which he was lost like Pharaoh in the lied Sea. Such Is the effigy which? since the withdrawal from that seat of the much more adequate Napoleonic figure of Walewskl, has not filled it, but, in the words of the modest Dr. Holmes, shaken abont in it. M. Schneider ! had long been Vice President to the Legislature, and now conducts its sittings with perfect busi ness knowledge, plenty of. tact,, and. a pinch of malice. In his' exterior or laic capacity he is , director of the amazing French Iron-foundry Creuzot, whose castings were among the jewels of the Exposition. , Just under the Presidential desk, and well within the shadow of the Presidential eyebrows, extends the orators’tribune; a long plain counter approached by steps at the two endß, and facing the whole chamber. This plain, unvarnished board is thumped in turn by the angry and de spairing patriot, or by the smooth, time-serving counter-jumper, who commends his wares from behind it with the consciousness that imperial patronage will make them sell. A group of seats and desks around the pre sident accommodate various ushers and secretaries; and the inferior tribune Of the orators is guarded by two sheep-dogs of tho last necessity, in the form of rapid and rather inky gentlemen accomplished in the stenographic art. Be on the speaker’s right is the “reviseur,” who stays there fifteen minutes at a time; on the left is placed the “roleur,” who does not rest more than sixty seconds. The roleur, at the end of those two minutes, retires into an ante-room to translate the signs; this short space of time af fords, on the average, thirty-five lines'“of print to the Moniteur. The “reviseur” leave 3 hls place to examine the “copy” of- tho .“roleur," ' which he revises-and corrects. A dozen phonographers are employed. These are the custodians of.tho orator’s word by their process of instantaneous photography. Without them, absence of exactitude, absence of accurate mi nuting, and with them, indeed, how many em bellishments and enamelings! There are inter ruptions from'a certain side, which they are not to hear; they know how to comprehend certain ' embarrassments; they can hang across the columns of the Moniteur those adorning gauzes and mists through which : an ordinary brutal literalness iB bereft of its inconveniences; they, have at need the serviceable charity and modesty of .clouds, in which they can enshrine the gods of their Olympus. 4 They operate, these photographic artists, In person, but not without retouching. With the exception of Jules Favre, who is capable of talk ing like a grammar book, and Monß. Berryer, who disdains forms and wfil not look at a proof, ' eveiydeptty who speaks without notes is con tent to give a glance, perhaps what In thelan guqgo ot bears is known as a lick, to the infant of Jils eloquence. The classic Thiers has been known to sit up late into the night for this mis sion of tenderness and scholarship. I am a longtime coming to words with my jnarionettes. When we meet another time you shall see the curtain up, the puppots battiinj the play underweigh, «;oTernor Andrew aiidthe President’s Cabinet* 1 The Boston AdwrftierpubUßhos tho following letter on national polltiMr by the late -Governor Andrew, only three days before his death, to a personal friend who had been cloßely connected with him in the military operations of 3ia&&&Cb\lßGM£: • “Bobton, Bunday, October 27 # 1867 .-—Dear——- : ■y ou we right in supposing that story to be a mis take abort? the war office Being offered to me and *ny reply about Mr. Kevordy Johnson. It is true, however, that I have frequently contrasted ms ptatesmanllke conduct in supporting .the Anu ■ Slavery’amendment of the United otitutton, and (although he did not personalis set. With the conduct of many other public men, who BUwnUnate their condnct to their eelf-hood. But, since no place Cabinet has been placed at my disposal, I have never Smade, nor had 4he opportunity to make, any terms sboutltaaceOptMoe. “Andnndor all the clrcnmatancce, I do not be-v lleve it is in the President's .power to better, si.: Cabinet at all. Congress ought to have left hltn free to select his Cabinet, andtohava hold him responsible, as the’conntry would have done, for Its composition. If he, or any of ht 4 ministers, disobey thelaWß, or tried to evade thelrcxecu tlon. It would have oxposed’them to animadvert sion. I hope that, under tho circumstances of this moment, he will attempt-no change. It will I>e likely to add to the prcgent pubiic distraction, may give still more anxiety about the national securities, and cannot fail to be a subject of merely partisan discussion. ■ “The tendency of the hour is toward Grant.

It Is bad for the country that he must leave his pres ent post, bad for him, the soldier, to try find erii dare the hard fate winch awaits him, In clvU ltfo. But it la the apparently best practical good the country can have. ; And Grant is bo square and honest a man that I believe he is bound to be right in the main, anywhere. ' . “yours, Jomt A. Andrew. Tub New German Theatre.—A meeting of llio committee' having in charge the subject of the erection of a now German Theatre in this city, Was held on Thursday eveUlng last. - Propo sitions were submitted as to the moat feasible plan of procuring a theatre. Two suggestions were made, either to sdcuro a lot of ground apd erect U suitable building thereon, or purchase one already constructed, -thelatter proposition met with favor, from the fact of its being stated / that one of oar city theatres could, be obtained oa what appearea to be reasonable and easy terms. A prominent architect and builder proposed to the : committee to put up 8 l^, a i la riSe ,ahd sub stantial edifice for $60,000. This was also favor ably considered. Both propositions wore huu over for fnture action. It was finally resolved to authorize the Executive Committee to confer with our architectural builders, and have them to furnish estimates and plans for a theatre, and submit the same to the General Committee at their next meeting.
