[Correspondence of the Pbllnda. Bally Erenlna Bulletin.!
Paris, Tuesday, June HO, 1868—-The Chamber
has voted, but only conditionally, the now Con
vention proposed to it, between the State and the
Transatlantic Steamship Company. The terms
demanded by the latter were certainly somewhat
extraordinary. If already receives a yearly subsi
dy from the Government of nine and a half mil.
lions. Its present proposal was to add to its
existing lines another line, of one steamer per
month, between Panama and Valparaiso. But
for this comparatively trilling augmentation of its
services, pcistal and otherwise; It required from the
State not only a farther yearly subsidy of
75,000 francs, with a present advance, by woy of
loan, of four millions, as frais or
expense of outfit, but also It demanded of the
governtncntagnaranty'Ofsper cent.'upon its
whole capital, which, by Its own estimation,
amotinted to sixty millions—with the siOgle re
servation that each guaranty should not extend
beyond the sum of two millions perannum. The
complete reversion of "the previously existing
relations between the State, and the Com
pany, brought about by -this last propo
sition, naturally took the Chamber by surprise ;
and, whether actuated by the tear of the impend
ing elections and public opinion, or rendered ir
ritable by the heat of the weather, and being
kept In town after almost every one else has left,
I will not pretend to say ; but certain it is, the
Corps Legislate has seldom shown Itself more
ta&ysor moro.cautlouß in voting away the pnb
lie’money. The government-supported the ap
plication of the company very strongly, but this
only seemed to render tho Chamber more suspi
cious; and it was a novelty to hear a
recognized member’ of the majority, liko M-
Ponjcr-Qncrtier, attack so violently what might
be r< garded as a ministerial measure. He ac
cused the Company openly of having lost its
capital, or at least diminished it by one-half, and
of now coming npon the public treasury to'
bolster up its failing credit He declared that
certain of the Directors (evidently pointing to
the Messrs. Pereire), who were Directors of and
interested in tho Credit Mobiller as well—“be
sides a score of other companies”—hod nsed the
funds of the companies first to represent the
capital of one of them,and then of another, and that
there were even communications made between
the respective premises for such transmission of
funds and accounts. He denounced the accounts
as “cooked," and asserted that sheer losses and
waste were often set down as credits, in order to
make up the pretended amount' pf capital; as,for
instance, when the eSfra sum of Xnore than a
million, spenWHi converting the St.’Daurent from
a paddle-wheel into a.screw steamer, was counted
as au increase to that extent of the capital stock
of the company. As though, cried .il.
Poujer-Quertier, the Company could have the
St. Laurent with two hulls and two engines, at
once! Moved by these and other considerations,
the house only consented, after an urgent appeal
by M. Bouber, oh the ground of; public utility,
to sanction the convention, with a conditional,
clauserthat no money should be advanced under
it, or guaranty given, until the capital of the
Company had been verified by a strict
to be taken of all its property.
Besides the above affair, the Messrs. Pereire
have been violently attacked on the subject of the
Southern Railway, of Which they are also chief
manege re and directors. There, too, it was found
that they had been using the funds of the share- '
holders for the service of the Credit Mobiller,
with which bank the railway company had a cur-
of no less than twenty-nine mil-
charges of jobbing and speculation
were brought forward against them, whrnlJ it is
unnecessary for me to mention. Bat the
Messrs. Pereire have been compelled to
retire from the direction of the
Trans-atlantle, as they had previously
done from that of the Credit Mobiller, and will
very likely be obliged to do from the Southern
Railway. These financial revelations bring dis
credit upon the Government, because the system
of credit inaugurated by. the Messrs. Pereire and
their great Company-of the Credit. Mobilier was
first introduced under the special patronage of
the Empire, and haß ever since been regarded as
one of its chief features and characteristics.
Now, all that was founded upon that system
seems to be tumbling to pieces, and the public,
somehow or other, insists.upon connecting the
two together, and fancies that the Imperial
regbpe itßelf may. in the end, prove just as
rotten as the financial regime to which it seemed
to pin its faith.
Some interesting experiments were recently
made here as to the practicability of substituting
petroleum for coal. in steam navigation. The
small imperial river yacht, the Pnebla, was fitted
np for the purpose, and with both tho Emperor
and Empress on board, ateamedfor several hoars
up and down the Seine by the aid of this new
mode of generating the locomotive power. The
apparatus for combustion was a vertical grate
fixed to the mouth of the ash-pit. The door of the
fire-place was blocked up, and its horizontal grate
replaced by a vaulted ceiling of rgfral'tory.Mjcka
resting on the floor of the ash-pit, slightly in
clined inwards. Theme troleum, contained In an
iron-; not wooden, reservoir, nows through a main
tube with a stop-cock, which
notleorguLoff the supply of oil from vm smaller
t^bcs7"tmnBsn jjwmmtAr, which terminate the .
bars of the verticalgcate, each letting out a thin
jet of the inflammable liquid, and being provided
with a separate stop-cock to regulate the* emis
sion,‘ • The oil flows down each bar in the sijape
of a thin stratum, and’thus reaches the fldbr, where
it has to fe<& the flame. Tlfq old grate of the
Pnebla, measuring twenty-three square
metres, could, when heated with coal, produce a
63 torse power, with 240 evolutions per minute,
under a pressure of: 6% atmospheres. With pe
troleum the. evolutions were 242,-and. the horse
. power 65, the liquid consumed being 96 kilos per
hour. The corresponding consumption in eoal
-would be 225 kilos.,. Their Majesties inspected
vend watched' the trial with great interest, and
the impression of all on board was that this new
mode of generating steam was capable of being
employed with-safety and groat practical utility
’ and advantage. Th&Emperor is also at this mo
ment busily emgjSyeil 'in experimenting in
the groves of FountShbleavT on the now Ameri
can method of boriiig ■fax water,', which was
- specially used for ’ cafapaighlng purposes by
American engineers durffig the, late war. This
simple and beautifm'3per§lbn was first brought
to the Emperor’s notice, as I mentioned at the
time, at St; Cloud, and it has never ceased since
to oetipy his attention as .a most Important
in military movements.

.Rome, June 26.—0 n the 24th the Pope assisted

the clerical party to make a demonstration in his

killing four soldiers. The camp will be visited by
the Pope* after St-‘ Peter’s day, and, as * I -have
already informed yon, the Holy Father will pass
a part of the summer at the Villa Torlonia lb
order to be near it. His Holiness is not
altogether satisfied with the administration
of his military affairs. Recently .Colonel de

eent from Franco for the benefit of his corps, and
General Kanzler Informed him, in reply, 'mat the
money had been nsed for the army at large, and
that he should render no account to him. The
. Colonel complained to the Pope, and for this step
be was placed by General Knnzler. under arrest,
the rules of the service requiring all complaints
to be mode-through the WargDepartment. The
Colonel was no sooner liberated than ho deman
ded his passport aßd started for France, a course
in which be has been followed by a number of his
officers, all French. Legitimists. One of the griev
ances of the Zouaves is that they have received
bavonets without sheaths, and, In consequence,
have in marching received severe woandsln their

The allocution of the 22d originally contained
a formal condemnation of the “ courso ” estab
lished in Franco for women, and the other mea
sures oi M. Duruy, the Minister of Public In

implored the Holy Father not to add to the diffi

censure,-and, more fortunate than Baron de Mey

jhe suppression of the paragraph.

The day before yesterday there was a fracas in
the Corso between Captain Bellotti, of the Ponti

Florence, where Captain Belottl sent a challenge

Ex. Governor Seymour— -Tlie story
■ 'About Insanity.
A telegram from Washington to the "Boston
Post says:
“A malicious story haß. been telegraphed West
from this city by a Radical correspondent to the
effect that insanity is hereditary in the family of ■
Governor Bey mow, and hence his reluctance to
accept the Democratic nomination. This may
be regarded by them as splendid .material for the
canvass, anu it may be nnkind to ex
pose the inhuman canard, bnt yoar
correspondent is authorised to say that a 'case oi
insanity was never known in Horatio. Seymour’s
family. The only possible foundation for the
story iB the fact that Rutger B. Miller, who mar
ried a sister of Gov, Seymonr—but who is. no
blood relation—was at one time eupposed-to be
threatened With insanity. The apprehension,
however, proved to be groutfdipSa. These facts
are furnished by a responsible gentleman, in high
official position, who is intimate mth Gov. Bey
mow’s family, and tbp lufafftoua 'statement al
luded to is branded as false in every particular.”

foilswing oilusibn to the same story!

What have the Blairs in common -with the
Democratic party ? They all contributed to the
extent of their ability to widen the gulf and In
crease the bitterness between the North and thd'
South, which led to the late tremendous convul
sions. It Is this Blair family, whose hlstory .is
thus truthfully sketched, which' now claims po
sition and a voice in the Democratic party, and
even assumes to dictate* its nomination for the
Presidency. In fact, it has the modesty to claim
the nomination for one 6f its own members—the
.bqtcher of St. Louis—the nice young gentleman
Who so adroitly balanced between the Speaker
ship and a Brigadier-Generalship, and to whom
Lincoln so kindly tossed the latter when the for

La Crosse Democrat, July 6.
The Campaign in tlic West.
f Correspondence of the N, Y. Trlbuno. J
Lafayette, Ind., July 11, 1868 The Western
Democrats are as mnch disheartened by the nom
ination of Seymonr and Blair as they were when
ever the rebels had lost a great battle. Rage at
the defeat of Pendleton, coupled with the con
viction that the ticket nominated at New York
cannot carry a slnglo Western State, has pro
duced tho most serious disaffection In the ranks
,of our Democracy. The leaders would doubtless
succeed in allaying the exasperation caused by'
the defeat of their favorite Pendleton, were it not
utterly impossible for them to convince the Dem
ocratic masses of the West that Seymour and
Blair have any prospects of success. After
denouncing Seymour so long and so
bitterly as a sympathizer and tool
of the bondholders, the leading
Democrats of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will find
it the hardest task they ever took npon them
selves to arouse the enthusiasm of their “untorri
fled” adherents. Thousands of Democrats in this
State say that they will stay away from the polls
in October and November, and some of the lead
ing Pendletonians declare freoly and openly that
Beymour cannot carry Indiana. Ex-Senater John
Pettit, Judge Reid (Julian’s Democratic competi
tor in the IVth Congressional District), Lafo
Devriln (formerly editor of the Indianapolis
Herald, the Democratic State organ), Milligan,
and a great many other Democratic leaders, ad
mit that the result of the New York Convention
mnet lead to the success of our Republican State
ticket in October, and of Grant and Colfax In
November by an overwhelming majority.
Blair’s nomination for the VTce-Presldency ex
cites the especial indignation of the Indiana De
mocracy. The War Democrats, who are bitterly
disappointed at the humiliating fizzle of the Con
servative Soldiers’ “Side Show” in New York,
denounce Blair os a military humbug, and his
letter to Broadhead as treasonable and revolu
tionary. They refuse to recognize him as their
representative. The German Democrats are no
less disgusted with Blair’s nomination because of
the insults which he heaped npon their country
men in several speeches delivered at St. Louis
and elsewhere. The Douglas Democrats think
it wonderfully strange that their standard-bearer
should be the same Frank Blair who denounced
them in such unmeasured terms in the speeches
which he made in Indiana dnring • the campaign
of 1860, when he branded the Democracy ae a
“vile, miserable party," and abnsod Douglas and
Hendricks so fiercely that Voorhees caSed him
(Blair) the “prince of blackguards.”
For the rest, both Voorhees and Hondricks are
denounced with unparalleled bitterness by their
Democratic brethren throughout the State. A
meeting at Terre Haute (Veorhees’e home) has
passed resolutions against Voorhees and the
other betrayers of Pendleton in Now York, which
of course, renders the nomination of Mr. Voor
hees bv the Congressional Convention of the
Democracy of the Sixth District an utter impos
sibility. ’
As lor Hendricks, whose friends managed his
cards in New York so clumsily, and fell so easily
into the trap set for them by the astute New
York politicians, prominent Indiana Democrats
ure oflering bets that be will be beaten at tbe
Gubernatorial election by at least 2,0000 majority.
The reports which were handed in from all
parts of tbe State at the meeting held by the Re
publican State Central Committee, on Wednes
day, at Indianapolis, were of the most cheering
character, and it is generally believed that our
majority at the State election will not fail below
that of 1864, while Grant and Colfax will have a
still larger majority than lhat by which Lincoln
carried Indiana four years ago.
Funeral oi Allred Fee.
The following sketch of the funeral of Mr.
Alfred Lee, of Georgetown, on the 20l v ' of last
June, is by Giles B. Stebbins :
The house was crowded and hundreds filled
the streets. I (.was no ordinary assemblage, for
not only were the culture and religious in
fluence and respectability of tho colored people
present, but the best and highest of tho white
population as well; private worth and official
dignity, and eminence paying willing tribute,
by their to the character ana standing
of him who hod passed to another life.
Too late to enter the bouse, I was thus for
tunate enough to hear the comments of
the outside multitude, and learned that they
came, not merely to t pay homage to a little money,
but from regard to a larger manhood And I
judge from the words of some respectable white
citizens that they frit that a gap not easily filled,
was made in the city by the absence of a man of
energy, power, generosity, and sagacity. Mr.
Lee bought his time as a slave, started bnsiness
In Georgetown thirty-five years dgo, reared a
lame family, waß loyal through the great re
bellion, and ever , the generous friend of freed
men in their need, and won the regard of the peo
ple by his personal worth and honor. By eminent
bnsiness ability he so overcame the obstacles to'
wealth placed in the path of a colored man as to
leave some $300,000 to family and friends. He
had a half-brother—a “Virginia gentleman,” so
alled—who was educated at the expense of the
Federal Government, at Weßt Point, and basely
nsed that education In the service of slaveholdlng
rebels. That/ half-brother had fifty freed slaves,
made free by the will of a relative of his wife’s;
and he used and wofked them as his own seven
years, pocketing the fralts of their labor, until
the war released them from his miserly grip.
'He is nowi after utter defeat; as Genoral of the
rebel-hosts, head of a rebel college In Virginia,
tbe managers of syhicb ask—sometimes too suc
cessfully—that Northern men, ministers and, old
abolitionists even, shall help eke out his support.
Around his former home ftt Arlington fifteen
thousand white hoad- boards over our buried sol
diers make silent but effectual protest against the
return of that guilty rebel. >’ Before God and all
good and true men and women, Alfred Lee—hon
orable, manly, loyal, and generous—stands far
higher than Robert E. Leo, robber of the pdor,
traitor, and rebel general.
