[CorrupoDdcnce of the Philadelphia Evrnlnx Bullctin-J
Pabis, Friday, June 26, 1868.— The new laws
on the- Frees and the Right of Public Meeting! |
limited as is the extent of those enactments, are,
still,giving evidence that they may hear some con
siderable fruits. For the first time daring the pre
sent reign, a French citizen is now at liberty to
establish a newspaper, wlthoui asking’ permis
sion of the authorities. This privilege has already
been pretty 'largely exercised, especially In the
Provinces, where, previous to the now law, It was
much eaeier for the local magistracy and law offi
cers of the crown to refuse or evade : such appli
cations, without giving rise to. public seaudal and
offepCe, than It was in Paris. Thus at Toulouse,
no fewer than three new jourhals'have already
started into existence. Two more have made
their appearance at Caen. Tours, Rhelms,
Angere, and many other towns have followed
thfreSampie; all showing more or less that the
voice of public opinion had hitherto been stifled
and kept down In the departments. What proves
this still more strongly Is the fact that a vast ma
jority of these new exponents of .the national
feelings belong to different shades of the opposi
tion. Not a single new journal, so far as I can
as yet ascertain, has been started on the other
side; although several which were previously
need as organs of the government by the local ad
ministration have tamed round and claimed their
independence, now that they are emancipated
from the dreaded and arbitrary “warnings,” which
could at any moment compromise their very ex
istence. .These facts are significant and encour
aging, and show that the country is gradually
waking up and loosing the bonds which have so
long beid .lt, and is beginning once more to think,
fi el and speak for itself, as a prelude to action.
Again, in Paris, the other day, we had the first
example of the working of the new Right of
Public Meeting Bilk It is difficult for any one,.
and especially for an American, to convince him
self of the fact that * for the last fifteen
years, 9no “twenty” Frenchmen dared
to meek together publicly to discuss either their
own private affairs or those of the country, with,
out leave of the Prefect of Police. Nevertheless,
this was actually the case, and the heaviest penal
ties were attached to any breach, of the regula
tion, or any excess of the prohibited number.
The new law bllowb of public meetings being held
withont authorization, for the disenssion of any
subject: not connected with politics, and
advantage' was taken of this enact
ment fofthe firsttime, last Week, to hold a meet
ing on the subject of Co-operative Societies am amg
the working classes. The object proposer! was
to extend a knowledge of the question among
those whoni Itconcemed, and enlighten them as
to their own interests. I had never seen a free
public meeting in Paris since the days of the Po
litical Clnbs, in 1819-50, when I had often been
present at these stormy assemblages of red
republicans, as they were then called,
who had survived the days of June,
1848, and were proposing to re-enact the same
scenes over again in 1852, when they were but.
prised by the Coup dEtat. It was curious to ob
serve the very different physiognomy, os com
pared with such assemblages, of.the meeting to
' which I now allude. Although composed almost
entirely of the working classes; nothing ■ could
exceed the sobriety and moderation of its lan
guage, behavior and aspect. The President, H.
Aristide Martin, well-known for the Interest he
takes in the welfare of the laboring population,
was able to keep his audience in the most
perfect good order by the mere sound
of his presidential bell; and the solitary Commis
sary of Police, who was on the watch to see
tbat the forbidden field of politics was not en
croached on, had net once occasion to interfere
with the proceedings. Nothing, in fact, of a
sensational character took place; and the sole In
terest of the meeting, like that of the establish
ment ef the new jonmals I have above spoken of,
arose from the circumstance of its being, in both
cases, the exercise of a newly accorded privilege,
on the future developments of which, may, In a
great measure, depend t% fate of France and her
present ruler. Next year (if not sooner) the new.
elections to tho Chamber take place, and politi
\ cal meetings of the electors will be allowed for
the first time. W e shall learn then how far the
present “constitutional” training of the French
people has fitted them for the exercise of a more
enlarged and pos Itive liberty.
The French trans-Atlantic steamer, the Saint
Lament, arrived at Brest, ftom New York, on
I Wednesday last, 18 hours before the stipulated
time. -
Tho Belgian papers are filled with accounts of
the visit of the King and Qneen, attended by all
the ministers, the President of the Belgian Cham
ber, Mr. Sandford, the American Minister at
Brussels, and his wife, and a numerous suite—on
board the United States flag-ship, the Franklin,
now at Ostend; and ol the splendid reception
there given to them by Admiral Farragut and
Mrs. Farragut. The incidents of the arrival of
the royal party and their going on board are quite
exciting, and display great pluck on the part of
the principal personages. Just as the
Royal mail steamer, which was to convey
the visitors to the point where
the Franklin and Ticonderoga were lying, six
miles off in the offing, left the pier of Ostend, a
terrific squall burst upon her, shutting out every
thing around from view. When the steamer had
at last felt her way to the Franklin, efforts were
made today her alongside, bnt the 1 sea had risen
so high that the attempt was abandoned after
two failures, and there was nothing for it bnt for
the Franklin to lower her boats and endeavor to
tranship the illustrious passengers. • A splendidly
manned boat, with an. officer and four
teen men on board, soon came alongside,
dancing, however,,like mad upon the waves,
while the rein still fell in torrents. Nevertheless,
without a moment’s hesitation, the young Queen
•was the first to take her place, followed hi no
small terror by her ladles; and, the King joining
her, the trip on board was effected in safety. I
need not say how hearty the welcome was, -nor
how highly the courage of the royaTTady was
appreciated by American gentlemen and officers.
, By and by the sun shone out again, and all went
off brightly and fkiriy- There was or splendid
breakfast, first, for the King, Queen; and, ladles t
where Admiral and Mrs. Farragut did the honors;
and afterwards a second, presided 'o ret by Mr.
Sandford. Fuller details will reach you from eye

Admiral Farragut’a Squadron in
Anglamb
The Tima, of June 26, In Its Southampton cor
respondence, ears: “The United States splendid
steam frigate Franklin, 3,G00 tons burden, and
carrying 39 guns. Cant. A. M. Fennock, the flag
ship of Admiral David G. Farragut, commanding
the European Squadron of the United States
Navy, and accompanied by the war Steamer Tl
conderoga, Capt B.- H. Wyman, arrived in the
river this morning from Ostend. On the ships
coming to anchor the American flag was ran' no
to the masthead of Her Majesty’s ironclad
chip Hector, lying off Netley Hospital, and sa
luted with 17 guns, and immediately afterward
the British tag was hoisted from the main or the.
Franklin and saluted in* like manner. The Swa
tara, Commander William H, Jeffers, has been
lying in our waters for some time past, and two
more vessels of the squadron'are expected here
shortly, via., the Canandaigua, Captain J.
H. Strong, from Lisbon, and the Frolic,
Commander D. B. Harmony. The squadron
will remain here abont a fortnight, and
dnring their rendezvous at this port the gallant
Admiral is expected to pay a visit to Scotland.
TheMsyor of the borough, Mr. J. R: Stabbing,
has waited npon the American Consul, Captain :
John Britton, requesting him to ask Admiral
Farragut to honor him with his company at a
dinner to which, previous to the arrival of the
Franklin, his worship had invited the officers of
the Bwatara and some of the borough officials at
his private residence, St. Andrew's Villa, on
Thursday afternoon. The Town Council, at a
meeting held today, also passed a resolution
unanimously inviting Admiral Farragut-to a
public banquet proffered by the municipality to
’ the gallant Admiral and the officers of the ships
under his command. A magnificent specimen of
that scarce fish, the-royal sturgeon, measuring
seven feet in length and weighing 101 pounds,
was caught in the upper part of the Southampton
waters, between the Itoyal Victoria pier and the
magazines of Marchwood, this morning, which
has been purchased by Mr. Alderman Perkins for
presentation to Admiral Farragut, and will be

nr. Longfellow Fleeted ajheinber of
tbe Reform Club*
The Daily Newt in an editorial says—“To vol
untarily elect a stranger a member of a London
clnb is the highest social compliment that any
fortuitous concourse of human atoms can pay.
The Reform Club has recently honored Itself by
adopting this, course to Professor Longfellow;
and the committee: are about to emphasize
ibeir welcome by inviting their new mem
ber to a dinner, organized in his honor,
and presided over by a discriminating
but cordial admirer ofhls works. There is noth-
ing very remarkable in this; nothing to rouse Mr.
Longfellow’s fervent gratitude, or to make him
labor under any overwhelming burden ot obliga
tion. But, on the other hand, we imagine that
any traveller, literary or otherwise, would find
bis visit pleasanter lot ;thcso delicate evidences
of regard. It is perhaps not much to make a
man free of your house, but it is at least better
than leaving him to the cold comfort of his
hotel, or to the chance of hospitality of friends.-
It will not be unpleasant to Mr. Lonfellow to
visit an institution which has literary as well as
: political associations, which was a favorite
lonnging place for Thackeray, and the: architec
ture of which Macauley celebrated in a letter. to

FRANCE.
A Successful journalist.
A Paris correspondent gives the following ac
count of the career of a-journalist of whom our
readers already know something:
Wo are witness to one of the most extraordi
nary successes In the annals of the Parisian
press. Mons. Henri Rochefort recently deter
mined to issue a weekly newspaper. He was a
writer on Le Figaro, m receipt of 85,000 gold
salary. He abandoned this lucrative position to
run the hazards of editor And publisher. Success
bas rewarded his adventure. He sells 80,000 or
90,000 copies whenever lt : appears, although the
police will not allow it to be sold on the street.
Mons. Rochefort’s success ha 3 been singaiarly
rapid. A few years since •he was a
clerk in the Hotel oe Ville, on a meagre salary.
While quill-driving he turned his leisure hours
to art, ana occasionally wrote a dramatic criticism
in some theatrical newspaper. He grew fond ot
writing. He had been some years a clerk in the
Hotel de Ville, when one morning, the head
clerk, dissatisfied with the writing of his subor
dinates, ordered all of them to attend a writing
sehool every night. This order was equivalent
to interdicting Mona Bochefort from giving atten
tion to art, and from pursuing his theatrical crit
icisms. He resigned his clerkship and joined the
press-gang. His novitiate was easier than most
writers undergo. He almostimmediately rose into
notice, and soon secured a lucrative place on
Figaro. lam no admirer of his manner. It is
extremely artificial and forced. Constantly
striving for effect, he sometimes Is brilliant, but
often falls to strike the sparks he would produce.
His best efforts are wearisome when several of
ihem are read consecutively. He Is rather a
striking-looking yonng man. His eyes are bril
liant, and deep set under a projecting high fore
head; his lips are thin, and are relieved rather
than concealed, by a delicate moustache and
sparse goatee. He has thirty-two white teeth.
He has a large nose, the hair of Absalom, and he
is as pale as a sheet.
THE raOHNUie STAB DISASTKK.
Finding ol the Bodies.
[From the Cleveland Leader, of July 6tb.i
The girl’s body found on Friday, which we
stated was that of Miss Garrett, proves to have
been the body of little Miss Cora Perry,of Detroit
Her mother and two children were passengers on
the Morning Star,and all were lost It is gratifying
to record, however, that the bodies of ail three
have been recovered.
During the search on Friday the body of a wo
man, with dark hair and dressed in light clothing,
was brought to the surface, bnt on account of the
slight hold tiie grappling nooks had upon the
clothingit was not recovered. A lady’s handker
chief marked “Sarah Christie,” was fished np and
brought to Cleveland. Mr. John H. Garrett’s neck
tie, left in his state-room, was also brought to the
.surface.
On Saturday the Levi Johnson returned to its
work on the wreck. Two more bodies were
dragged up, one of which was that of Mr. H.
Allen Iddings, whose loss was so keenly felt by a
large circle of friends and acquaintances. Mrs.
Iddinga,'the mother of tho deceased, was on board
the tug at the time. The body was well preserved
and ftuly dressed, ■ with the exception of collar
and neck-tie.;. •■ The gold watch, chain and rings
were found and taken by Mrs. Iddlngs. The
funeral will take place to-morrow. Dae notice
thereof will be published.
The other body was thatof a middle-aged man
of medium height. It was clothed with a black
coat, gray pantaloons and vest, plaid flannel
• shirt and heavy boots. In tho pockets were
found a brass-handled knife, a small pipe, a
quantity of tobaccs, and a wallet containing one
, live and two one dollar hills,and a steerage ticket
from Cleveland to Detroit, marked on the'back,
:in pencil, “No. 32.” Nothing was found to indi
cate bis namo. . ..
The body ofa " woman in; night, clothes was
brought nearly to the surface bnt sank back.
Yesterday the same tag started ont for another
■ search, but was obliged to-roturn because of the
roughncßS of the lake. The work of dragging
- that vicinity-will bo continued aslong as there re-,
meins a probability of recovering any bodies.
The bodies found by the tug np’ to this time have
been found noartbo wreck, ana it is thought that
all those who went down with the steamer are in
that Immediate vicinity.

[from the New York Fapen of Today.]
The principal talk was of Chase and bis avalla
bility as a candidate, some expressing, surprise
ibat bis name had not been mentioned, while
others regarded this reticence on the part of his
friends-as Simply apiece of strategy looking for
ward to the early presentation of his name as the
termination of the labors of the . Convention in
its enthusiastic endorsement, ns that of one who
would lead the Democratic hosts to a certain and
decisive victory. It is. beyond all doubt that a

chase’s prospects. . ...
’‘Judge Chase’s stock seems to be very low,’
said an Ohio delegate; “his not having received a
single ballot yet evinces his utter weakness in the
Convention.” .
“I think it shows exacUy the. reverse,” said a
Mississippi delegate. “His friends, I believe,
have only been holding him bock, and when the
time comes, they will bring him forward; and I
shouldn’t be surprised If he made • a, grand rush
ahead and distanced all bis competitors.”
“Our delegation, I don’t believe, can'be induced
nnder any circumstances to give Idm their vote,”
said the Ohioan, “and I feel certain Pendleton’s
friends won’t back down in his favor.”
“He has certainly shown himself right on negro
suffrage,” answered the Mississlpplau; “and there
can be no possible donbt of his hearty endorse
ment: of the platform of the Convention.”
RUMOR ABOUT CHASE.
There is reason to believe lhat lho Chase move
ment for the Presidency trill be inaugurated in
the Convention to-day. The New York delega
tion is supposed to have made up its mind to go
as a unit for the Chief Justice, and tho Southern
delegates, influenced by the fact that five Judges
of the Supreme Court, at the head of whom
stands Mr. Chase, have derided upon rendering
a favorable opinion in the McArdlo case, and thus
relieving tho Southern people of the most op
pressive feature of the despotism under whieh
they labor, have resolved on sustaining New
York, and, backed up by Pennsylvania and the
entire Eastern Btatea, will make a considerable
inroad on Mr. Pendleton's chances.
When pra” *. was announced yesterday, the
whole Convention rose to Us feet, and some few
well-behaved persons in the-gallery did the same:
but the vast majority retained their seats and
seemed to regard the prayer as a bore, especially
so in such oppressive weather. Profane people
declared the prayer was entirely too long fora
democratic crowd; but more point would have
; been shown in. the remark that no prayer could
'be too long when addressed to Heaven in their
behalf. -
The following arc a few choice specimens of
the manner in which the Democratic press is con
ducting the present campaign: /
The New York Day Book saysof “Mongrelism.”
“A Democrat, a true, Intelligent Democrat,
should no more associate with, or sitat table with
a white nigger than he Would a black one. No
matter what his education or accomplishments, a
true Democrat should no more permit a degraded
and corrupt beast like Charles Sumner, who vol
untarily abdicates his manhood and equalizes with
negroes, to eat with him, or even to speak to him
without touching his hat, than he would Fred.
Douglas or any other nigger. An honest Democrat
naturally avoids a thief, a pickpocket or degraded
wretch that commits bigamy, &c., but none of
these corruptions and degradations equal the
degradation or indeed the sin of equalizing with
negroes. Finally, we must all come to this posi
tion, and restore the white Republic, or another
million of lives must needs be sacrificed before a
truth so simple and obvious is beaten into the
American brain ; for not liberty alone, but so
ciety itself, is only possible in this country as it
was organized by Washington and left us by Bu
chanan.”
The Metropolitan Record says of the admission
of Arkansas:
“Very good! One more infamygadded to the
already long catalogue will but hasten the com
ing retribution. Let them bring in their carpet
bag Senators and their carpet-bag Representa
tives nnder this infamous act of an infamous
Congress! Bring them in, we say, and jost see
bow Jong the people will permit them to stay
there!’'
It threatens the Republicans in the following
strain:
POUTICAI*
THE .NEW S£OBK CONTENTION.
Democratic indecencies.
“Is it not about time for them to get it into
their brain that it is a cardinal principle with
the Democracy that this is a White Man’s
Government, and that, therefore, the nigger
governments which Radicalism has set np in
these Africanized States have all got to be upset,
and that the upsetting will begin jnst as soon as
we can get oar Democratic President inaugu
rated, on the 4th of March, 18G9. The Govern
ment of the United States then will be the Demo
cratic Executive, the Democratic majority in
the Honse of ReDreseniatives, and such
of the Senators as have not been sent
from the nigger monarchies aforesaid.
That is Government will be supported
by the militia, which we expect to have under the
command of Democratic Governors in all the
great States. It will be a strong enough Gov
ernment then to take care of the carpet-bag
gentry and the military machinery by which they
may have swindled themselves into the Ramp
Congress. As we have declared heretofore, so
we repeat now, the whole concern will have to
leave, peaceably If they may, forcibly if we most
If they choose the latter alternative, so be it. A
speedy sett lement of the whole matter will then
follow; and, our word for it, it will be, as we
have heretofore declared, short, sharp, and de
cisive.”
Sbocklug Rebel Barbarities.
Mr. Honneus, the Republican candidate for
Sheriff in Bienville Parish, was formerly an officer
of the Sixth Massachusetts Batteiy, which orga
nization he. joined in Roxbury, Mass. On the
night of the 28th of May he was called, to the door
of his house in Bienville, and before a word coold
be spoken on either side the ruffians fired upon
him, shot bim down, and then shot him and beat
him until he was supposed to be. dead, after he
was down. Mr. Honneus arrived in this city yes
terday In a very feeble Condition, *Ho requires
crutches to walk with, and presents the appear
ance of a battle-scarred soldier. He carries sev-,.
oral of the villainous Rebel buckshot In his
person. He informs ub that oh tho same night
the assassins attempted to murder him, a party
of men attacked, a colored, man, Moses Law

There are half a million acres of land in Jo-,

government Is about to take possession of them, ,
and will thus prepare the way for the develop
ment of a large and extensive immigration.
There is another half a million acres upon which
no faxes havo been paid at all for sgino years.
These the government can any day pounce upon
as forfeited by non-payment of land. tax. The
Governor is only Watting upon the imperial go

unregistered lands. „
There' has been frightful rains and floods
through’out|the island:, these have done enor
mous mischief. The loss of human life, stock,
horses and property by floods which havo carried
everything out to sea, is far beyond any fair esti
mate at present In the low lying estates the
sugar workshave been completely inundated and
everything movable swept away. Houses have
been unrooted and laborers’ huts carried down
the rivers and out to sea. The Milk river
rose fifty feet above its usual level, inundated
tbo matron's bouse at the baths, and it was with
great difficulty that the furniture was saved from
being washed bwbt. The kitchen roof
was washed off and left on the top of some large
trees about one bur dred yards distant. The Bio
Cobre has risen higher than it has ever been
known by the oldest inhabitant to have risen.
At Spanlshtown it is nearly on a level wlth the
bridge. A large wain with several hogsheads of
sugar,-belonging to Mr. McPhail, and driven by.
twelve oxen, were all swept away from the Bogg
Walk, in St. Catherine. At Four Paths and Porus
the road was flooded, the water in many cases
coming over tho wheels of private carriages.
The Dry river rose forty feet above
its usual level, and barked a cotton tree on its
bank to the belght of twenty-five, feet Mr.
Justice Rampini lost his carriage in lt and nar
rowly escaped with his life. The carriage was
carried down tho river, dashed into a hole In the
bank and soon became a perfect wreck. The
Police Office was swept away, and the policemen,
to escape, lodged up in a tree In the rain, without
lord and covering from the tempest and rain. A
hut, with an old man, his wife and grandchild,
was washed down In the torrent and never seen
again. ,
There are five gigantic landslips on Monnt

A Great Bear Story*
[From tho Ludiogton (Mich.) Bccord of June 301
We have to record o very singular deliverance
of a girl about three years of age to Its parents,
after Delng carried off by a black bear, and a
ecarcb of about thirty-six hours through the
lorest by the,excited parents. The facts, as near
as we can gather them,' are substantially as fol
lows: .
Mr. Henry Flynn lives about forty mileß east
ofthis place, at or near the lodging camps of
Mr, Lpdington, and, we believe, has charge of
one of the camps. He started one morning to
"take a horse to pasture, about two miles distant
rrom the house, and, as he was ready to start, his
little girl appeared and seemed very anxious to
go with her father, who, in order to plants the
child, put her upon the horee’s back and let her
ride a short distance, perhaps forty rods from
the house, but in plain view of It,"where he put
her down and told her to rnn home. Hc.hotlced
that the child was standing where he left her,
and, on looking bock after going a little farther,
saw her playing-in the. sand.. He soon, passed
out of eight, and was gone about an hour, ex
pecting, of coarse, that the child would return
to the house after playing a few moments.
On returning home he made inquiry about, the
child of its mother, who said she had not seen the
child, and supposed he had taken her along with
him. On going to the spot where he left her, ho
eaw huge bear tracks In the sand, and at once
came to the conclusion that the child had been
carried off by the bear.
The family Immediately made search through
the forest, which was grown up to almost a jun
gle, rendering their search very slow. All day
these anxious Barents searched for some trace of
their child, nor did they stop when darkness
came on, but remained in the woods, calling the
child by her name, and with aching hearts would
listen, with almost breathless fear, to catch some
Bound by which they could discover their lost
darling. Morning eame and their search was
fniltiees. ~ ,
A conple of gentlemen looking at land came to
tho honse, and, being Informed of the circum
stance, immediately set ont to help find the child.
No doubt existed as to the fate of the little one
by all, and if they coaid only flDd vyhere the bear
had despatched his victim, they might then go
home with the assurance that they were never to
see their child again, but until somo trace of her
was found, there was hope. .
The gentlemen alluded to had wandered about
and as they were passing a swampy spot where
the undergrowth was thick, they either called
the child, or else were talking aloud, when one of
them heard the child’s voice. He then called the
child by name, and told her to come ont-of the
bushes. She replied that the bear would not let
her. The men.then crept through the bush, and
when near the spot where the child and bear
were, they heard a splash >n the water, which the
child said was the bear. On going to her they
found her standing upon a log extending about
half wav across the river. , „ '
The bear had undertaken to cross the river on
the log, and being closely pursued) loft the child'
and swam away. She had received some scratches
upon her face, arms and legs, and her clothes
were almost torn from her body, but the bear
had not bitten her to hurt her, only the marks ot
his teeth being found on her back, where, in
taking hold of her clothes to carry her, he had
taken the flesh also. . '
The little one says the bear would put her down
occasionally to rest, and would put his nose- op
to her face, when she woold. slap him, and ihen
the bear would hang his head by her side and purr
and rub against her like a cat. The men asked
her If she was cold In the night, and; she told ,
them that the old bear lay down beside her and
pnt his “arms”around her and hogged -*er’to
him and kept her warm, though she did not like
his long hair. She was taken home to her pa
rents, whp could hardly express their joy at; her
njifrly. '
The bear has been seen lurking shout lb; the vi
cinity,it is supposed for the pnrpose of yet, carry-,
‘ing off the child. The supposition is that it is a
female beat,and having lost her cubs,eame across
tho child and adopted til Bteps are being taken to
• ’’capture tho bear. , . -I- - ■ - ,:
