" ■ POLITICAL NOTICES. 655“ TO THE SEVERAL NOMINATING CON- VENTIONS OF THE UNION REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Committee of Fifty-six, appointed by the Union League of Philadelphia, May 21st, 1868, for the purpose of securing the nomination of entirely unexceptionable candidates, respectfully invito yonr serious consideration of tho views announced in the annexed address to tho Union Republican Citizens of Philadelphia. The Union League Is neither bound nor pledged in favor of any candidate for any office to be voted for at the coming municipal election. Nor will Its members bo driven by any party lash to vote for or support incompetent and unfit men. The League has no threads to make; nor, on the other hand, will it suffer itself to bo threatened. > It asks but one thing—-tho nomination of hon est, competent, and unexceptionable candidates for whom every citizen may cast his vote without doubter hesitation.' Principles and men will then bo united in their true and proper sense; and with undivided ranks, Jostly-dcscrvcd vie-. toiy will be tho result. If candidates of a different character are pre- sented—men who have not earned the confidence, respect, and esteem of tho people, and who do not possess entire fitness for the offices they seek to fill, defeat Is inevitable, and will be Justly deserved—tho responsibility and consequences of sneh defeat must rest upon and be borne by those who make the nominations. We urge yon then, fellow-citizens, to whom ihis duty of making nominations is entrusted, to be prudent, careful and independent, and to riseUUbve all considerations other than the good of the public. Yon will thus secure the success of the party on a true arid honest basis, arid yon will earn for yoarselves the approbation of the community at large. By order of the Committee,, Samuel C. PerkuisJ Chairman, Lewis Wauj Smith, Secretary. pgy UNION LEAGUE HOUSE. Pun.ADKI.nnA, May 30,1868. lotkc Union Republican Citizens of Philadelphia ; Another election 1b approaching; the selection of candi date* for which, under the rules of the Union Republican Party, 1* immediately at hand. The Committee of fifty, ui t appointed under a resolution of May 21,1868, by the Union League of Philadelphia, to make the voice and Influence of the League heard and felt In the,selection of these candidates, distinctly declare: First— That the principles of the Union Republican Party are represented by the resolutions adopted at the National Convention recently held at Chicago; and that the candidates selected by that Convention for the office" of President and Vice-President are true and faithful re. presents fives of those principles,and of unquestionable in. tegrity, honesty find competency; and those candidates deservel and will have the hearty support of the Union League, and of every true Union Republican. Second—That the League, irrespective of any supposed Influence on a subsequent national election, will not bup port any candidate for a municipal office who has not the entire confidence of the community for integrity and competency. ~ , ~ Third—That public offices are created and intended for the good of the people in the due administration of pub lic affairs, and not for the interests either of any political party or of any individual. The office should seek the man, because of his fitness for it; not the man the office |OT the sake of its emoluments or position—nominally fop the inteteßta of the party, really for his own. , Fourth— bo trusted with the admlnis. tration of public office, and to be relied on for a just and ' upright regard for the true welfare and Interests of the people are the men of prlnciple,andnotthe loud-mouthed, professed devotees of mere party. Such are t o often the very first-.to betray and abandon party, and to . for sake 1 heir pretended principles at the earliest blast of adversity which may touch their personal Interest and emolument. • Fifth— That the UniorrLeague declare that if through the nomination of ilnfit men a* candidate* for municipal offices in the coming election the Union Republican party Is defected, the responsibility must and shall rest with those who were Instrumental in forcing such nominations oefore the people, and they must bear the Consequences. With these viewsthu* plainly expreseedJeUow-citlzens, we urgo upon you a personal attention to the selection of men of character, judgment and integrity as delegatee to the several nominating conventions. These delegates are to be chosen on TUESDAY, June 9, 1868,-io the several precincts, by the registered Union Republican voters thereof. Go yourself, and eee that ail your registered neighbors go and vote at the delegate election for men on whom you can rely to select unexceptionable candidates. This is ah obligation which lies at the very foundation of your duties as an elector. If by these exertions good men are presented for the votes of the people in October, there can be no doubt of victory—a victory of which Republicans will have just reason to bo proud, as an evidence of their devotion toitfio principles that no Incompetent or unfit man shall be suf fered to foist himself into office for fils'own eelf-intere6t upon the mere cry of party.

[Corrtjpondence of tbo Philadelphia Evening ilnlletin.l. iPauis, Tuesday, May 2Ctb, 1868.—Having ear- ; ried the “ order of theday”,. agalnstthe Protec tionist attack which was made on its commercial policy in the Corps Legislatif, the Imperial Go vernment had next to turn round and defend it self, or at least its Minister of Pabllc Instruction, its University, and the whole system of education provided by the State; against a charge of mate rialism, in the Senate. Cortes, these Imperial Ministers, if they have not much else to do, have a great deal of talking to get through. M. Rouher, I hear, is quito dope up by his thirty columns in the Moniteur, in support of free trade, and M. Doruy has now been not much shorter in what may bo called his defence of free teaching, if not exactly of fine thinking. I shall not try * the patience of readers in America by any length ened notice on this subject, though it has made a prodigious noise here in certain circles, and"will still further stir up the bile of the clerical party against the Government. Still, ..it is too im portant a matter to be passed by wholly without re mark. French education is divided Into primary, or elementary; secondary, or that of the Lycdes, : or public schools; and thirdly, superior education, .' or that of the Faculties; where professional and. scientific instruction is given in law, physic, dl- ; vinity, &c. By the celebrated BUI on 4 ‘Liberty of instruction,’’ passed' in 1843-59, the two ■ former branches of education were thrown open, and private individuals may now em bark in them, in opposition to the government schools, under certain conditions, and on p'assr ing through certain degrees and qualifications. But the Faculties and professional chairs are eUll State institutions only; and the Government alone creates them; and is, of course, responsible' for them. A petition was presented to the Senate accusing,, more or less, the whole professional body in France of teaching materialism, and especially the medical school of Paris. The clerical party beat the' alarum; the Cardinals mustered en masse in the Senate; and it was evident, that a great field day against State ! education was at hand. The object evidently was to get the Faculties thfown open, so os to allow the clergy to establish free/ chairs of their own, and obtain a command of ibis branch of education also, as they had already ‘ some of the others. Now, it is to bo regretted, perhaps, that the government insists on main taining a monopoly of any branch! of public in struction. But, it must be allowed, I think, to have defended Itself veiy successfully.against the sweeping charge ; of encouraging ;materioUsm, Most of the accusations hod been put forward by clerical journals. But all that was made out was that one of two Professors, chiefly in the medical school, bud de scribed “man,” in their published works or medical dictionaries; as a “marnniferous animal of jthe primatian order and Of the bimatlan famHy; characterized taxinomieally by a skin covered with down or with elight hairs, &c., <Sc., (Cardi nal Bonnechose read aloud the ehtire.description, which was evidently intended to be purely scien tific, amidst great laughter in the Senate,) and badiflsefused some indiscreet egressions of a . similar kind in tbeir lectures. One or two med ical students hod also been permitted, without proper rebuke, to present essays for their degrees ) in which materialist opinions were put for ward. Also, there had been students’ rows in the medical school, where some foolish youths had exhibited the same tendencies. But there was really nothing proved to maintain a charge against the whole profession. Cardinal Bonne chose brought forward as a fact that A professor bad said that he would “do away with the idea of a soul (time) altogether.” But when the mat ter was investigated, it turned out that the re porter of a clerical journal, who was on the watch, had taken down the word 'time (soul) instead of art (art); and had thus made complete, nonsense of' what . wa 3 „aid by the Professor, who was lecturing on alcohols, without thinking at all abont theology! In short, the case broke down, and the Senate dismissed the petition by voting the order of the day. But the clericala will not be the less bitter against the government for'having thus defeated and turned them into ridicule. The Prince Imperial still continues his visits of ceremony to different public institutions. On Friday he went to the military school at St. Cyr, where “the same arrangements were made,” we are told, “as for the visit of the Empe ror of Bussia.” After hiß “reception” and “in spection” of the establishment, his Imperial Highness “took the chair” and “presided” at a grand breakfast, acquitting himself wonderfully. X dare say, for a boy of twelve years old! I alluded the other day to the annual exhibi tion of modem pietures no w open in the Palace of Industry, in the Champs Ely sees. There are very nearly four thousand works of art exhibited in painting and sculpture, arranged in no fewer than fifteen large saloons; Of course in so large a collection there is an immense amount of trash, but there are some striking-woiks, if you take" the necessary pains and trouble, which is not slight, to hunt them up out of so much rubbish. For instance, there are two. works by Geroine. the author of the “Roman Amphithea tre,” 60 well . known ;. by the. . en gravings, wliich are of sufficiently general in terest and merit to deserve and require mention. One of them is the execution of Marshal Noy, and has created a sensation both as a work of art and also in a political sense; There is always a’ crowd about it, and if yon stand to listen to the remarks’ mode, yon may learn a thing.or two of what the French people thick about the Restora tion and its acts. Geriime has stamped'his pic ture with political feeling In a wonderfM man ner, and with great power. He makes you read in every line and touch of/ it, not the “execu tion,” but the “murdet” of Ney, Mur der glares upon you from every inch ;of the canvass. Tho commanding officer looks as if he had committed murder, as he glances furtively back, with a shudder, at his’vio tim before he hurries away., The soldiers look murder even from their backs, os they huddle themselves, together, and whisper- curses and shame to each other for what they have done. GerGme has miide thelr very backa -.more expres sive than any face lever saw. Ney—as ho liesipn the ground in evening-dress, short sand silk stockings, hurried off to die at a mo ment’s notice—looks like a “ murdered man. There is but one bullet mark made visible, right in the middle of thre forehead, to show that he looked Us executioners steadily > OURI WHOLE COUNTRY. In.the face to the last momeot." The whole scene, r ln its stem • and dreary reality, says: Hero they shot the “bravest of the brave,” like a dog f- There is nothing depicted save the bare wall and ground in a comer of the ditch of Vincennes- There is not a detail inserted to relieve the drear* lness of the scene and the locality. People who don’t understand the picture object to Its “baro ness.” GdrCmo knew well what he was about with .this bareness; and has left wall and ditch 'and ground nncmbellishcd by any art of the painter, except just here and there, where the spurt of a bullet marks where the deadly shower has passed. The treatment of the whole subject,, according to the painter’s own: sense of it, is sublime. -■ LETTER FltOR LONDON. t Correspondence of the' Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] XoNDOif, May 20,18C8.—1t may not bo nnin tercsting to yonr readers to have a few partlcu-'- lars abont the projects' for connecting England with tho continent, by some method :or other more convenient than that of navigation. I will omit the system of employing balloons,but direct my attention at once to. the plan of building’a railroad bridge or series of bridges, which ; ap? pears thus far to be the’-most popular,; having the advantage of open air and. daylight, os com pared with enbmarino ttinnels. There is a pre judice against tunnels,, even ;on ordinary .rail ways, and itwonld probably be some time be fore travelers leok with- complacency on tho line’ ‘ -between ■ Dover and - Calais. But the tunnel is, in all. probability,' really prac . ticable, whereas no such assurance exists respect ing the bridge, . ..The number of artificial islands or foundations at certain distances in '; the chan? ncl between coast and coast, to be connected by means of bridgcSj Offer a rather doubtful guaran tee as to the durability of the work. M. Boutet, a French engineer, has lately come to England with a view of examining the feasibility..©! such an enterprise. Another plan has been formed of building a railway contained in an iron tube resting on . the bed . of the sea, but neither of- : these . plans- ' 'receives os much attention os a snbmarino tannel. Investigations about the .depth of; the channel have proved that ho obstacle is presented on that score, the channel being a shallow, sea.. Evidenco bos likewise been obtained of the fact that the soil oyer which the seaflows is white chalk, gray chalk and green sand farther below. ’ This fact , was - ascertained by borings oh the English and French coasts, the two points on each side of the channel being not more than twenty : miles from each,other. It is but reasonable to suppose that the same material will form the submarine soil from coast to coasts and tunnelling through chalk is a work of no difficulty whatever, nor .would there be any trouble in so depressing the tannel as ' 10 carry-it through , the gray chalk; which is jess permeable to water: than-the white. .The: obstacle seems to be the possibility of a tissnre bring found at some one point so consi derable as to .admit water into the workings in quantity too great to be overcome. ' As lor the probable expenses of Such an enter prise, they are not as enormous as might appear' at first' sight. Calculations have : been made which show that .ten millions, *of pOnnds ($50,- 000,006 in gold) ' would defray ail the expenses, ana it is thought the work might be executed in ten years’ time.. It is presumed that land shafts might be sunk on either coast; and apreliminory driftway driven 1 under the sea, at a.costof about one-fifth of the entire estitnate;. and this experiment, it is said, would, solve the only .question which remains Obscure. . ~r " . Among the merchants of London' the plan meets with much approval, and' there is little doubt but that the necessary funds could'be .raised on subscription, for an experiment in the above way. It is, however, hoped that the British Government will take the matter in con sideration, _and. justly argued that tho Abys sinian war has cost just one-half of what the whole enterprise would absorb—that the revenue department would be materially benefited—that England would not have to bear the burden of the work alone—Franco being equally interested in its success, and finally, that the British fortifica tion scheme is neither cheaper nor paore prom ising. ' All these schemes may soem .visionary, bnt the march of events is very rapid, and per haps after all, the construction of a submarine tannel would not be the greatest marvel of the age. EHAJICE. Eugenie to Visit Ireland—The Free trade Queatlom La France, of Parte, says that the Enr press Eugenie will visit Ireland at an early uay. Napoleon has ordered three hundred thousand copies of M. Kouher’s speech on free trade to be printed and distributed ,to all the prefects of France,' and by them to all the mayors of com munes and other functionaries. M. Bouherwas obliged to leave town immediately alter the close of the debate for his country scat at Ber cey, where he has been in the hands of his phy sician. The Earls Epogue of May 26 has tho following: The protectionists, it te announced, do not con sider themselves beaten on the question of lree trade. The opponents of the treaty! of commerce have resolved, we" are assured; to renew the dis cussion respecting the economic regime, when the subject of the acquits-a-caution and temporary ad mission of foreign raw material comes befote the Chamber. The legislative body is therefore threatened with another interpellation, the ob ject being precisely what the free traders justly consider a concession made to theself-dubbed de fenders of “national labor.”-- THE KUSSIAN EMPIKE. Birth of an Heir to the Throne oc the Czar - Popnlar Bejoisings as ttxe Event. [Bt Petersburg (May 20) Correspondence of the London Herald.] On Monday afternoon, about 5.30, the capital was startled by a salvo of 301 rounds thundering from the guns of the fortress, to announce the birth of a Grand Duke at Tsarskoe Selo. If it, had been a daughter 31 rounds only would have been - deemed sufficient. ■ The young child who, if all goes well, will one day bo Czar of all the Busslas, has already received the name of Nicholas, after his great grandfather. Thetown was illuminated at night, and in the following evening a second Illnmlaa tion w.ae prepared on a much grander scale, though in one way It seems almost a pity to take so much trouble, as the nights ore so long and light that a' pyrotechnlcal display is money thrown away, and peine perdue. The shops In the 1 leading thoroughfares, as well as tho shipping, in the river, still hang out gaudy flags, it was generally reported yesterday that on amnesty would be granted to political and other offenders, on so auspicious an occa sion, but in tho Imperial manifesto that appears in to-day’s Joumal- ao mention of the kind is 'made. Perhaps it may come later.. The name of the young Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandro vitch is already inscribed in the registers of all the regiments of the Guards, Hussars of Grodno, &c., in which his father the Hdritfer is Inscribed, and lie has been named chief of tho Sixty-fifth Regiment of Infantry of Moscow ’■ which is henceforth to be called Hislmperial; Highness’ Own. As yon may well believe, all the news papers this morning are full of loyal expressions hi joy and gratitude to God for this “now Mes sing ot the Divine goodness.” They-boast that the union between the Throne ; and the country is so close and intimate that all classes are unom mouß.in regarding tho happy event/ quite as a file de fanulle. If possible, it will increase the kindly sympathies add love of the nation for tho young Danish girl," who,-from the first moment of her arrival Unew how to win to herself and' enchain all Hussion hearts “in willing bonds and sweet captivity." Address from Garlbitfdl, Gen. Garibaldi, says tho Movimenlo, of Genoa has replied as iollows to an address sent him by Tho Tnousand, assembled at Mllon to celebrate the anniversary of the sth May; “From tho city of the five dnyß and irom yourselves a word of consolailon was certain to reach mein this period of wretchedness and degradation..

Execution of tfae.Clcrfcenvell “Consplrhtor” . in England. dteers for Barrett—Groans for the Hangman—Extraordinary Scenes..- i [From the London Rzpreetr, May 27th.l The pereiatent burst ol groaning which greeted the detachment of Metropolitan police joining the cqty constables in the inclosed place befor the gallows became appalling when the hang man was recognized.-.‘‘Let’s pat him there instead!” “Bhamo!” “Down with* him!" Bah, bah, murderer,: bah!’’ ore bnt few of the articulate sounds heard from 1 .the win down of the Old Bailey,'and ringing in the doomed man's ears :at. the suproma moment Bnt even those were lost in the excited and congratnlatoiy cheers for Barrett The mur derous outrage for which ho died seemed. to be forgotten. The maimed women, the crippled children, the countless agonies inflicted upon the aged, the 'helpless, and" the weak; the honest' bread-winners reduced to a life of cheerless pain ful pauperism, all faded Out of sight; and hand- : clapping “Bravo Barrett,”, “Good-bye,: Barrett,” “Never mind ’em, —n —- them 1” were mixed np with cheers as hearty as ever followed hero to. battle-field. But tho Irish accent was notably absent,' though these demonstrations seemed''.to ‘ come from both the regular Old Bailey frequenters and the more respectable people with - which . they were plen tifully interspersed. Nor wore more touching. . evidences of sympathy wanting. Hanging over the barrier immediately opposite the gallows, and snpported on either side by e female friend, stoojd the half-fainting figure of a Voting woman of four or five and twenty. Her 'decent de meanor and modest air won even upon the brutal . natures round her, and a couple of genuine Lon don roughs kept back their comrades by en treaties, and, when necessary, by blows. What-', ever her relationship or knowledge of Barrett may have been, there conld be ho doubt of the ‘ genuineness of her emotion this morn ing. Deadly white, with clenched lips, • and hands which, clung to the wooden, barrier before her with the tenacity of the drowning man, she succeeded in controlling herself until the drop actually fell. When’Barrett appeared on , the 1 scaffold the women supportirig her redoubled their consolatory efforts; and her blanched face ; and: wistful air became intensified In their ex preeeion. But when, his; face was cohered, she’ gave way, and at the fatal moment fell prostrate, and day in a passion of hysterical grief, deaf to the noises and blind to the sights nearer him,- and conscious only of the •gallows and its doubt ful mission. Concurrently with this painful scene is a stir,among the policemen guarding the enclosure in front. One of tbelr,number, - a tall, powerful,., good-looking young man, has given way, and Barrett’s death is the signal for lils falling down in a fit. His clenched teeth, white> face, upturned eyeballs, and cata lep tic figure, as his head falls back over the raised to succor him, lend additional, horror to the proceedings. Bn t his brother officers loosen bis neckcloth, and pole, haggard, and with some ’ ugly marks ns of blood about the moutb, he Is lea away by a couple of colleagues of stronger nerves than his owd, who half guide and half help him to Newgate’s door, taking him as they do so olose by-the-gallows tree, and tho frigid figure now moviug idly, but with a sort of pen dulum motion, from north to south. Last Look and Last Words. [From thaliondon Nows, of May 27.1 *• * * Barrett, after bowing, looked slightly upward, with a light in his eyes that reflected no fear, no dogged obstinacy, no anger; no defiance, no regret. The glance, like his every movement, was eloquent with a marvellous firmness, which appeared to be grounded on a for higher basis than the animal daring that the hardened not unfrequenUy show when brought to this dire extremity. It ’seemed that Barrett thirsted for and obtained a parting glimpse of the bright sun .as it illumined the upturned faces of the expectant crowd, and he then turned away from the crowd and sun, and sub mitted to tho degrading ordeal that crowd and sun ought to weep to witness. Calcraft hitched the cord to the chain, slipped the noose over Bar rett’s head, odjnßted it round his neck, 'drew tho white cap) over hiß face, 1 and strapped the lower limbs; not withont nervousness, but yet, with a business like air not pleasant to see; the priest, never relinquishing the pinioned hand until the drop ffcll, continued unceasingly with the devo tions suitable for the occasion. Barrett stood upright, motionless as a rock, with head boldly raised, waiting his fate. If his lips moved the movement could not bo seen through the covering, ana there was no sound of response to the ministrations of his spiritual ad viser. The hand of the reverend gentleman was raised to speed the fleeting spiritwhen the sound, once heard never to be forgotten, rung out. Calcraft had hurried from the scaffold, and: with the hand employed a moment before in a friendly shake with the convict had pulled back the bolt, and the sound beard was the rattle of planks and the heavy, dull fall of the body to the rope’s end. A general outcry of horror from men and boys, ana a few piercing shrieks from , some women, were fitting accompaniments to the scene. The priest was left alone upon the fixed part of the scaffold, his hand still uplifted, while his late penitent was gyrating horribly in the vacancy below—“a sight to shudder at, not to see.” Barrett was a long time before his suffer ings were over. Two or three times when the officials considered the work was done, the pow erful frame trembled, and the knees shook con vulsively. This was repeated ovon after the “swinging” had been stopped. . . Calcraft said that from first to last Barrett never spoke a word; and Father Hussey informed ns that the fortitude and firmness and penitence shown by him of late have been indescribable. Tho ’reverend. gentleman regarded him in his spiritual capacity with much satisfaction. We conld obtain no other information as to what passed within the prison. Tho officials cer tainly admitted thp representatives 6f the press, bnt displayed as much anxiety to keep them away fromthe,convict as if there was something. ■to conceal or fear. The pinioning is usually done so that they may witness It, and often tho convict is invited to say anything he may desire with a view to publicity. On this occasion tho pin ioning was done in secret, very likely in the cell, uie condemned man was taken to the gal lows by some unknown and hidden route, and tho representatives of the press wero purposely kept out of hearing until Barrett was beyond the power of speech. The exigencies of the occasion might have rendered this necessary, but wo have received no explanation of tho extraordinary cir cumstance, which, we should Odd,' is quite a nov elty at tho Old Bailey. • J, , „ , The usual Information was not officially given to the press as to tho convlet’s demeanor and ac tions on the morning, of the execution; and the id office of the priest of course has the seal of sftcrei. secrecy npomf~ ••—Corneille’s house, in the Rue d’Argenteuil, Paris, ISto be destroyed to make room for a new avenue, to run from the Bouleyard des Capuclnes to the Place du Theatre Francais, “so that, says a correspondent, "you will drive over the spot where Corneille - wrote his tfagedles r to see thi;ih acteefrsttke Francais.” ' IT. 1.. iEHIERSrOX.
