PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1869. FOBEIGJV COBRESPOIiDEUCE " letter non jpabis. f Oorrespondenco of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,] . Pa it is, Friday, 0et.22d,1869. —The capital is beginui ng to show signs -of returning ani mation, though the magnificent weather which has prevailed until within the last day or two has made pnoplo linger beyond their usual time at the sea-side or the watering-place. Summer, indeed, quite,broke out afresh here, with the present month; and even now the temperature is so soft and mild that the L'Ete de Hl. Martin) as-it is called, promises to rival ■the Indian summer of America. Still, the sharpness of the early dawn begins to remind us > that we are far advanced in autumn; and the papers tell us that down even at Lyons the first white frosts of winter have begnn to make themselves felt. Our straggling population is once again ’gathering itself together, from all the comers of the earth. The increasing crowds of equipages in the Champs Elysees and the Bois,and the re opening shutters of the neighboring mansions, tell, of t£e return of permanent- residents; While the groups of sightseers parading the streets and boulevards show the double cur rent of tourists going south or returning home for winter. The American clement is pouring in fast, as is shown by the daily lengthening “ Lists of Arrivals” published at our principal Bankers, as well as by the multitude of “ loafers” of unmistakable trans-Atlantic- ori gin, who are looking about them to see how many things Baron Haussmann, our Prefect; has pulled down., or built up since their last visit. to Paris. There is always plenty of novelty to he found in our changeful capital, both ih a material and moral sense; and just •now our two main occupations seem to con sist in building up the. city and pulling down the government. Americans who have been absent a few years "are .not a little bewildered at the 'transmogrification which lias taken place in some of the qiiarteis of the town where they least expected it. There is, for instance, the junction of the Bue de la Paix and the Boulevards, wjrich used to be the boast of the city, and considered its most brilliant cent re. One would have thought it, indeed, the very last point which stood in need of “improvements.” But not so Baron Haussmann. He has “ opened it put” and “ ex panded” it, till you have last all recollection of what it once was. There now stands the gigantic pile of the new Opera House, or Academy ot Music, as it is called, on the facade of which is seen the group of dancing Bacchantes by M. Carpeaux, about which so much noise was made a month or:so ago; while on the centre of the building, at its very highest pinnacle, has just been raised a Pegasus, or winged-borsc, typical of it 3 dedi cation to the Muses. The abuse which has been bestowed on M. Carpeaux’s production has, of course, given him a reputation and a noto riety such as he might otherwise never have obtained. His drunken Bacchantes have become the fhvorite photograph of the day ; and the other evening, passing by the opera after dark, I found that some speculator had thought it worth his while to set up an electric light; under the effects of which he was exhibiting the highly-flavored composi tion to an assemblage of such' loafers and loungers as those I have above spoken of. The design is, certainly very “ French” in taste, and may he called at least Sybaritish, if not actually indecent: Still, it affords, no excuse for the barbarism of the act committed by the “indignant morality” ofthe gentleman with the ink-bot ' tie, who might just as well have gone into the gallery of the Louvre and wrecked his wounded sensibilities upon some of the chef d’&uvres of ancient art. It seems to me that i M. Carpeaux’s statuary is good-enough for M. ! Gunner's architecture ; for the new Opera | House of the latter is hut a poor production , i considering the vast sums of money it has cost. -A newly-arrived American, who saw Paris for the first time,said to methe other day, after a week's experience of our city, ‘.‘There is not a building here to be compared with the Capitol.” And, Upon my word, I believe lie was about right.even when ..every allowance is made for national predilections. This new- Grand Opera has cost the city and govern rnent together some thirty or thirty-five mil lions of francs already, although it is not yet nearly finished internally ;: and that' without counting the immense value of the site upou which it is built, and which is worth in that part of Pans at least five hundred francs the square yard. I went oyer the interior of it the other day, and was perfectly amazed to see the space which had, been set apart for the “ accommodation” “of the Emperor and his suite. One would suppose that his Imperial Majesty intended to take up his abode there for the season. He -monopolizes an entire wing of the building. The Imperial carriages, on arriving at the private” entrance, which is as large nearly aS the principal facade, drive" up an inclined plane, which takes them right into the house, on a level with the principal tier of boxes, so that his Majesty steps out ofhis equipage almost at the door ofhis loye. Another inclined plane takes the carriages down again on the other side, where stables and coachhouses are pro vided tor them. Inside the house there is, for the accommodation of the party, • besides the state-box; with: its private salon boliind it, with boxes adjacent for the suite and waiting rooms for the cent-gardes and attendants— there is, besides all this, a magnificent circular saloon, of vast height and dimensions, adorned with'twelve gigantic marble column!, and out of which open, on either side, other “retiring and dressing rooms” for the Emperor and ' Empress! And all this fuss abput His Majesty “going to the opera!” Wby tbe ISmperqr of Itu.‘i3ia.“goes to the plaji” almost like anybody else, and the Sultan hardly makes sUch a pother when he visits the Mosque of St. Sophia in state. The whole *tliing is preposterous, and reminds one ofthe worst days and times of the Byzantine Emperors, when such occupations were made the chief business of a worn-out and besotted System of government. I hear the opera is fifet likely to he opened for a year or two, for want .of funds- to go ou with it as rapidly as its projectors could wish; for the days are over when “supple mentary credits” could be obtained by a stroke of the imperial pen. ’ Who shall, say what may happen in. Baris within tlie'noxt three or four years, or what carriages may drive Up and down those inclined planes by the time that all is ready for the opening ceremony Meantime; Patti.singsat the old Italiens, whore, her bust has just been placed ;in the saloon, xyitli the coronet of a Mo.npiisu on the baso of OUR WHOLE COUNTKY. it. A Frenchman, of Alsatian origin, as iced me the other day whether MUe.Patti was not I of “Irish” extraction. . .He had evidently thought her name synonymous with “Paddy as indeed it would nearly be, according .to: his own Germanic accentuation of the latter patronymic. • THE NEW YORK ELECTION THE VOTE IK THE CITE "... .

Comments by the Tribune. “Shameless and cunning frauds,” like those which the editor of the World saw perpe-* trated at onrpolls one.year ago, and which he undoubtedly attributed to Wm. M. Tweed and Oakey Hall, have again defeated the Repub licans in the general vote of ottr State. The vote polled-here by “repeaters”, yesterday cannot have fallen below 20,000, and we think it largely exceeds that amount. The VJth and Vllth Wards gave a Democratic majority ' considerably exceeding their entire legal' •vote; hut the XX Ist ' (Sheriff O’Brien’s) far outstripped all rivalry, polling about 4,000 fraudulent votes, and thus largely in ‘ creasing the fraudulent Democratic majority it rolled up for Seymour, Hoffman & Co. last year. We presume the vote returned from this ward for the Republican candidates is several hundreds below that actnally cast for them; and we have assurances that like frauds were perpetrated in other wards. The swin dlers, feeling .sure of legal impunity, were even bolder than last year, and piled up the majorities in their rotten boroughs with an utter recklessness of appear ances; but they did not operate so uni versally as last year. Still, they swindled ns enough for their present exigency, and know how to double the amount whenever the stake shall seem to justify the cost. Unless the laws can be so amended as to meet and baffle the new devices and skillful combinations of -the villains who now misrule and plunder our city,-ouri elections must henceforth be farces. But the magnitude of the evil; almost insures its speedy correction. In the rural districts the vote was generally light, there being no offices of first-rate im portance to be fined this year. The majorities of either patty consequently fall off in most of its strongholds, but there is nomaterialchange evinced m the sentiment of the State. Gould the polls hejpnrged of illegal votes, our ma jority would be just about the same as when General Grant was chosen President. Judging from what we witnessed at the polls yesterday, the Democrats almost unanimously voted against and defeated the Amended Con stitution; with the requirement of Equal Taxa tion on Beal and Personal Property,, while their votes .upheld and perpetuated the Pro pertv Qualification for Colored Men. The Judiciary'Article was not so generally opposed by them, and we think it is adopted. But all is as yet guesswork. Napoleon’s Foreign Policy and Plan of Armament-Moving Xowards an Antl «erman Coalition. Paris, Nov. 2, ’ 1869—The question of the position which the Emperor Napoleon may, assume towards the surrounding Powers on the occasion of the reassembling ofthe French Legislature is canvassed actively on every side, and with anxiety. It is rumored in political circles to-day that the Emperor, in his speech from the throne, opening the session of the Chambers, will propose or recommend a general European disarmament. The subject was,discussed dur ing the recent visit of Lord Clarendon to the Tuileries, and it is alleged that tne plan meets, tho present views of Englana, and will accord witl! her future policy as intended to he shaped by the Gladstone Cabinet. G eneral Fleury’s mission to the Court of St. Petersburg has for its chief objective pointthe obtainment of the consent of Russia to the proposal, a matter which it is thought will be of very easy accomplishment just now, as tho Czar is maintaining a huge army on a war footing unnecessarily and at a heavy cost to liis subjects. Should the agreement to disarm thus be come almost universal the French people and Emperor, supported by the great Powers, will call on Prussia to disarm also, and it is thought that serious international complications will be the result, in view of the consideration, generally accepted,’that the ulterior object Of Napoleon in the mox’ement is to embarrass Prussia. Sir Henry Bulwer has written to the Temps as follows: Sir.: Not having been able to be present at the funeral of M. SaiUfc-Beuve, I wish to avail myself of your journal, in xvhicli the latest productions of this illustrious man have appeared, to give my poor testi mony to the character of a man who, during a period in which we have seen the alternating triumphs of the most opposite opinions, was able to preserve that remark able impartiality which reconciles the love of liberty .with the horror of* disorder. It is rare to find in the same person a know ledge so extensive and of such depth, together with wit so moderated, yet so brilliant. For myself, I may say .that from the first moment of our acquaintance I was seized with the pe culiar charms of a conversation which, ever presented to view in a manner unrivalled the union of the soundness and steadiness which talent gives modesty induced-toy study. Happy are they who knew him, unfortunate those xvho have lost him; and dear to us will he a remem brance which the French language will pre serve forex’er. Receive, my dear sir, the as surance of my deep regard. Hbnry Bli.wkr. The Imperial Troppntnn. 51.

There is only one course to take; place him on trial, Condemn him to perpetual banishment, and send him to work at his task In the shades of v Cayenne. But to amuse : ourselves writing addresses to malefactors, asking them to have better opinions, is a truly original system. I imagine - the citizens .of Pantin voting an address to Troppman, in this ' style: —“Sirp and dear murderer— We are truly pained to see a man Ilkeyoa murder eight persons with a pick-axe. We hope'you will return to the sehtiments of respect which are duo to human fife. You are liberated, be happy, and see tbat you profit by this lesson;” The letters that M. Guyofc-Montfrayroux would address.to the;Emperor ought, probably be'of the same kind". “SV—Trembling wC pray you to kindly-consider that the fundamental: fact has received a blow from your imperial hand from which it will never recover. Re vise your decision; your humble servants and ■ subjects supplicate you to do so.” By- this rule, when a sovereign- commits a crime, those on whom it is perpetrated should ask pardon of .the criminal. It is perhaps one means of removing the difficulties of the Corps Legislatif. hut it would bo better still to have : the Corps Legislatif remain in diffi culties than to proceed in this fashion. THE ONONDAGA GIANT. Some New Particulars. The latest from the Cardiff stone man shows that his giantship was a man of means. He laid down to rest (how many years ago!) with liis pockets, full of specie. The Syracuse Journal tells the wondrous tale. Here It is: On Saturday last, Matthew, son of Dr. Alex ander Henderson, veterinary Burgeon, of this city, while visiting the Cardiff giant, picked up from the surrounding debris thrown out of the excavated resting-place of this huge work of stone something, that seemed like-a.hlack-, ened scale'of brass or a" rusty old button. Thinking that it might possibly have some affinity to the wonderful statue, the lad rubbed the dirt and rust from its surface, between his ; finger and thumb, and burnishing it a little by rubbingitin the folds ofhis coat skirts; it showed evidence of being an old copper coin, ajid he accordingly placed it carefully in Ms pocket and brought it home. Dr. Henderson, the lad’s father, applied some acids to it, when an an<fient coin; of nearly the' eleventh cen tury, revealed itself. : On the obverse side of tho coin is the head of the Empeier lestyn, with a full flowing heard from the'chin, and the sacred heart strung from a rosary in the shape of a shield or , breast plate strung around the neck. Beneath the Emperor is the date, “1091.” Around the edge of the Coin is- the following inscription: .. “lestyn-Ap-Gwrgant, . Tywsogr Morganwg.” The interpretation of this, as rendered % a Competent Welshman, means •‘lestvn, son of Gwrgant, Prince of Glan morgan.” On the reverse side is the figure of the Goddess pf 'Commerce, seated on the wheel at her ride, the pillar and ancient crown wreathed with the national emblem, the oak, the shield and spear, supported by the left band,. and the right pointing to a ship ;on the distant sea’, xvith full sails set, which she seems intently gazing at. The inscription around the circle is in the Welsh language, and reads as follows: “Y. Brenhiu a’r Gytraith,” the interpretation.of which is, “The King and the Laws.” The coin is 778 years old—over seven and a half-centuries— and on the edge of tli o rim can he distinctly seen “Glanmorgan Half Penny,” with repre-" sentations of leaves intertwining. The de nomination of the coin is imprinted in dated letters, andeverytbing connected withitsliows it to be a coin of-the: reign of the Emperor whose name it bears- Further, in connection with' the unearthing of the stone giant, its discovery in the loose dirt thrown up from the bed of the excavation where the stable was found and vet lies is certainly quite interest ing, and seems to add to the general interest that attaches to this great and unexplained mystery pf the nineteenth century. [For t|io Exoning Bulletin.! The Bast of the Penns. In the London Times recently appeared the following brief notice: “On the 10th of Sept., at Tunbridge Wells, Rev.'Thomas, Gordon Penn,,second son ofthe late Granville Penn, Esq., of. Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire, aged in.” Few who read fhis meagre obituary know that the gentleman in question was the last male descendant of William Penn heaving the name ofhis illustrious ancestor;yet such is the fact. Thus far the writer has seen no fur ther allusion to his memory. Why this apathy and indifference ? When Richard Penn, a brother of the Rev. Thomas Gordon Penn, died in 1863, liis obitu ary was duly copied in our papers. When another brother, the late Glanville John Penn, visited Philadelphia, he was tendered 1 the freedom of the city, and eventually his death "also xvas respectfully noticed. Now, however, when the last of the race passes away, there is none to do him reverence. It is due to the memory of the founder.of Penn sylvania that some, notice should, be taken of the death of his last direct male descendant. ’TiS true that Thomas Gordon Penn did not wear a bag-xvig—that he did not dress in drab -1-V-5 he did not five in Letitia Court, or the old Slate-Roof House. ’Tis true that he never wandered over the broad domain of Penns bury Manor, or sat quietly in his great arm chair in the porch of this manor, gazing upon the Delaware and musing over his infant colony and his own troubles. ’Tis equally true that he never offered rewards for gory scalps, as did Governor John Penn, or-cheated the ignorant natix’es out of their land by doubtful, bogus deeds and rascally “walks,” as did Thomas Penn. But for all this, should not some steps be taken to respect bis memory in a meniorial or brief biography V Why could not the Historical Society take the matterm hand? Tlios. Gordon Penn was a clergyman in the Churcli of England, though of late years be became imbecile, and retired from public fife. Some time ago a paper called “An EveOhß* with the Penns” xvas read before the HistoH cal Society, which, by all means, should have been published, but was not; and we are., not much mistaken xvheu xve assert that many of of our citizens would be glad to see it soon re produced in our magazines or newspapers: Cannot the author of the paper referred to also furnish a memorial of the lato Thomas’ Gordon Penn ? More than this: cannot both appear in tangible form? Let us soon hear from him. Coitx Planter, Tbe Election of Supreme Judge.
