THE. NEW AMBASSADOR FROM
FRANCE, IIL PBETOST-EARADOE.
French Opinions on His Appointment.
,
Our readers will be interested-in-the opin- -
ions, givenin translations of their own vrords,
of the various Paris journals upon this re
markable appointment. They mostly binge
on the fact that an opponent and satirist of
the Empire has, under the new conditions of
a representative form of government,accepted
an ofticonn its gift. Some of the liberal papers
I are quite bitter. - -- • - - -
WHAT THE PHENCII AMBASSADOR IS 7'.1.11t
2 - - The Gazette de- Frame unearths an article of
Paradol's in which he was very severe upon a
gentleman whom he ii ow finds a fell° w-Arnbas
sador with himself the present Minister to
, ueronniere: for a disco ,
Turkey,M. de. La Gurse
pronounced at the opening of a council
generals M. de La Guronniere got the follow
ing rap: • ,
- " HIS favorite metaphor,' said Prevost-
Paradol, reviewing this speech, " is that. of a
hmas, so favorite a term now-a-dayii; and we,
must needs resign ourselves to the assumption
bylbis_friglitful_word bus/s r -with-its inevitable
companion, the barbarism ,to, base,. of a part
more and more conspieuens in contemporary
literature. Well, M. 'de La Guerroniere has
compared the 'based ofl'former governments
With the basis of the present government.
They all had defective bases, such a one being.,
weekly based on this side, and such another
weekly based on - that: -- But now we 'have, at
last, a government based, as it should be, and
deposited with perfect equality on everybody..
- Who - can - denv -- it '..- -- Atid - wha - could know
better than 31..de La Gueronniere? It is al
most ten years now that he has been con
vinced of the - narrowness or instability Cif
affairs tbrmerly and of the solidity bf our pre.-
sent=hisis. - This discernment on his part did
not spoil his chances. Why cannot he persuade
us to profit by his experience!"
o n which the , grrzette.?, de F'roitee tartly says :
M. de La Gueronniere, as Ambassador at
Constantinople, mill come=►nto an •iincome of
140,000 francs. M. Prevost-Paradol will only
get - 90,000 fi4incs: 'The difference 50,000
francs: This has been just the expense to. M.
Pr&vost-Paradol of having - discerned ten years

THE LOVES , OF THE ARCH-ANGELS
ntthe ost - c uri otni - dtiiiiplicatroti - ii that
between 31. Paradol and the Pays. This,paper
is edited by the most unscrupulous of all the
bullies who support the Empire through thick
and thin, 31. Pax] de Cassaignac. In 1868
Ca.ssaignac was severe on 3t. Paradol sub
scribing to the Baudin monument. In 1870 he
is equally vindictive, but from a less disinter
ested motive. The Empire surely ought long.
ago to have employed, in the profitable, well
paid walks of public life, the eccentric but
real,abilities of a gladiator so faithful, ardent
and unchangeable. It appears, however, that
Cassaignaes pen is, considered too useful to be
displaced. He is left a mere journalist, while
the recruits of the eleventh hour become Ex
cellencies. It .is that
sinner
parables
again, of the repentant better welcomed
in Heaven than the ninety and nine just per
sons who had no need of repentance. As for
31. Paradol's retort about the Baudin suliscrip
ti on, it strews some flowers of speech over the
Empire .as well as souie contempt over 31 . . de
Cassaignac, fresh enough to have preserved
their perfume- till now, since they date from
only twenty months ago. It was a very dig
nified letter, written November Bth, 1868, and
ran as follows : _ - -
"To MonSicur the Editor-in-Chief_ of the
P ,,, t.5:-3forthieur : In reproaching me for my
:-übscription to the proposed " monument to
Representative Bowfin, December 3,
ISM
, you demand if my intention is to thank
Baudin for having shown to the: door the
government of my predilections: I have
thought until now that, if any one was un,
dertaking,on December 2,1K51,t0 show a regu
lar government tP...the.door, it .was not 51:
Bowfin. :Stria - justice ought to bring you of
your own accord to •recognize r outSide -of all
party spirit, that M. Baudin has a right to the
same epitaph as the combatants of July,
!dead in defence of the laws.' And 'as trie
sacrifice of his life, made voluntarily,-and-with
oat hope; with aecompanied by an admirable
speech, I have ever thought, long before the
celebrity now given to his tomb,that the mem
ory of Baudin ought to be as dear as' that of
the Chevalier d'Assas to all '-tlnisc who are
still concerned for the honor of the French
uame."

On the eve of the new lAnch Minister's

which he gives cordial expression to the feel

Ist of May, Generalßead, Consul-General for
France, and son of the late respected .John
Read,- -of Phi)adelphia, who presjded a
'couple of years ago over the Social-Science.:
Congress which met at Albany, addressed an
invitation to M..Paradol on behalf of the As

America. The letter is his reply to that invl

Parirs, May 3,1.870.-111 y Dear Friend :
1 I appreciate most- highly the very honorable
ljproposition which you have had the kindness
to transmit to ine, on behalf of thytssoeiation
over which Dr. Samuel Eliot presides, and I
beg you to offer him my most sincere thanks.
Nothing could have more tempted me than
such an occasion of testifying to your noble
country by" vitill.rd of mouth the feelings of
esteem,sympaihy and friendship which I have
so often expressed in writing. Your free in
stitutions, the Admirable fortitude with which
you , have suedeeded in maintaining them in
their integrity , through the hardmt trials the
old ties which unite the two nations, and
which the future, I hope, will strengthen
more and more; my earnest desire ' to'know
more of you and to make you better known
here ; many motives, in short, would have in
duced me to accept with pleasure the flatter
ing invitation and cordial welcome tendered
to me through you.
• ." But as I told you before, it was settled as
far back as two months that I was too to the
United States
.as French Minister, and the_pro
liability of that appointment exists still.. It is
scarcely neceEisary*to' observe that if I „ain to
go to von in an official capacity, lecturing
out of the question. I must therefore forego
the anticipAted pleasure of addressing an
'American audience and am` compelled to 'de
cline the honor which... the. American Social

always, however, cherish this souvenir with.
_gratitude, and_Lbegaf_you-to say-as—much—to
your-distinguished, fellow-citizens.

TwicitExtrAm, June 19, 18T0.—Gentlemen : A
.propesition to abrogate the exceptional
measures which fall heavily on us has been
brought before you. In the face of that de
"wand we deem it our duty not to remain

of the republic, we protested against the law

nothing then justified ; nor has aught occurred
to render it more excusable since that date,

ENPIINOING TRACES OF ,THE
The Charleston Exchange.
[From the Charleston Courier, July 2.1
Since the close of the war the old battered
walls and crumbling roof of the. Exchange
building, at the foot of Broad street,have boon
an eyesore to every passer-by, and a subject of
dread to not a few. .In vain- the citizens pet',
tioried'CongresS - to:*repair it, - ; - -hr vain they
asked to purchase it; in vain to remove it.
Our National Legislature, grave. Cofigressmen
and reverend Senators were too busy recon-;
Structing the corpus polltiOon ' to attend to the
physical and temporal wants of its people. At
length the Grand Jury of the county presented
it- as a nuisance, • and immediately after
ward we receive the information that
Uncle Sam- lias at length lent a favorable
ear to our petition. Mainly.,_ through
,the exertions of several gentlemen who went :
to Washington for that 'purpoSe, the legisla-.
live attention' was fixed •for a moment upon
the subject. Messrs. J. ii. Willet and T. H.
Oakshott, Government architects and super
intendents of tho workgoing On at the Custom
house were instructed ,to examine the old
ruins,.and report the probable cost of repair
ing the building. This, in due timi3, was' ac
complished, $lB,OOO being the estimated cost
of the repairs, and we have the assurance that
the =bunt will, in a few days, be provided
for in- the General Appropriation' bill, now
before Congress. As soon as the appropria
tion is obtained the long-deferred work of re
construction will be • ;commenced, and the
building put in therOligh_repair. We are.in-e'
formed that it will be used temptiratily as a

WEDNESDAY, JULY_ 6 1 1810.
The NeurCoustltation-ofilltuols.-
We are pleased to learn that the returns
thus far received leave little or no room to
doubt that the proposition for Minority Repro,
sentation in the Illinois Legislature, which
was submitted as aseparate and distinct pro
position, has heat adopted by the popular
vote as a part of the fundamental law of that
State. This is a proposition which has been
much discussed in the public prints for the
past few years. It is a proposition so obviously
just and fair that we congratulate the public
upon its adoption by so large and influential a
State as Illinois.
The new Constitution provides tor a Senate
of 51 membtrs and a House of 153 Represen
tatives; and also requires that each member
of the General Assembly, in taking the oath
of office, shall swear that he has not paid or
littered to pay, in the form of a bribe, any
money or• oilier consideration to secure his
election, and that he will not accept any con
sideration of value for any vote he may give
or fail to give, or for any official act he may
do, The State is to be divided into fifty-one
Senate Districts, each entitled to three Repre
sentatives, and for the election of such Repre
sentatives each voter is to be untitled to three
ballots, all of which he may cast for one per
son, or he may diVide them up betweentwo or
three candidates, as to him shall seem good.
This system, if adopted, does not go into ope
ration till 1872.
Special legislation is substantially prohibited
by a provision which forbids the enactment
of a local or special act, the object of which
can be reached by a general law. The autho
rity of the Legislature to increase the State
debt except for war purposes is limited to a
quarter Of a million. The pay of members of
the Legislature is to be fixed by law, and all
perquisites, as stationery, &e., are limited to
.:F.tiO per annum for each member. The

SOUTH PASS. Wyoming, June al.—Yester
day this mining district received another
visit from the jolly followers of Red Cloud and
Medicine Man, which resulted in the greatest
pecuniary loss to the settlers of any, raid ever
before made upon our people. Early in the .
morning Indians were discovered within a
mile of this city; . and, as soon a.s the. intelli
kenes of their presence became generally
nown; the excitement caused by their near
approach became intense. A party immedi
ately started for the locality of the town herd,
of about one hundred head of horses and
mules, which ranged about three miles from
town, and which, with the exception of per
haps a dozen bead, were owned in this city.
Word was soon brought in that our men had
"corralled" the 'lndians, who were in posses

HIBORITY IMPBESENTATION.
SERIOIJS RIOTS,
Disorder and Bloodshed at fferveville•-•
- The Governor's Aid Invoked.
The Harrisburg Topic of yesterday says :
Yesterday, while the colored military were
bolding a pic-nic at the Marysville"woods, a
serious tight arose. The story we have re
ceived is as follows :
Some of the negro troops insisted on having
liquor at the Railroad Hotel, but Mr. Joseph.
Seidle, the proprietor, refused their request,
and the demand for stimulants becoming
violent, he ordered them out of his house.
They refused to accede to his demand, when
he attempted, with the assistance of an
employee to forcibly eject , the crowd
desperate fight resulted, in which
pistols; guns, clubs and bottles were freely
used by the assailants. Several negro women
are
~ said to have been With revolvers,
engaged in the melee. -Mr. Seidle was knocked
down, received severe contusions on the head,
reported to have, been from the butt of a
musket. Samuel Bowman was shot in the
face George Andre ws was shot in the fore
head; W. E. M'Ken, of Harrisburg, was hit
in the head. Men named Anspach andlineply
were also said to have been hit in the head,
The fracas commenced after dinner, at about
two o'clock: -
The alarm throughout the town was great,
the news Spreading like wildfire, and the re
ports were wild and confused.
At five o'clock Captain W. H. Weaver, who
was in the service during the war, telegraphed
the Governor as follows :
." To Governor Geary: Troops have opened
lire on'our citizens. Send us help.
" W. H. WEAVICR."
Captain Weaver received the following
answer :
" Capt. W. H. Weaver Governor Geary di
rects me to_summon you here forthwith tO re
portto me at the State Capital Hotel.
"A. L. RUSSE'LL, Adjutant-General."
Captain Weaver arrived here last night and
had a consultation with the Governor, who in ,
strutted him to bring the offending parties to
justice by civil process, and as theindividuaLs
concerned on the side of the colored men all
reside in this eity f a number of processes were
issued to-day for their apprehension and ar
rest.
At the time there was an' Odd Fellows' pic
nic in progress near Marysville, embracing-
Lodges from Marysville, - Duticannon, Dau
phin and Newport—all white—and while a
portion of the Lodges were proceeding home

and ehildren, it - is reported• on one side' that
the colored men attacked the train, firing into
the cars, and on the other side that'the whites
gave the first offence. It is difficult to decide
who was to blame in the excitement, which

of the - despatches that reached Harrisburg
from him. The first was as follows :

The second despatch was as follows:
"111AnvsviLLE, July 4th, 1870.—Uen. Jo/at

poured a volley over our town and wounded

"W. H. WEAVER, late Captain."
No arrests have been made by the Com
mander-in-Chief of the Pennsylvania State
Guards, because martial law is not now
prevalent in Pennsylvania, and because the
civil law covers all cases of this description.
We are informed that a negro boy was hurt

A STRANGE SUICIDE.
A Passenger on the Fasciae Railroad
Places His Neck Under a Car-Wheel.
The Omaha Republican says :
Yesterday a gentleman who came in on the
Union Pacific train, related to us a most
melancholy instance of self-murder during
the trip from Sacramento. It .occurred as the
train was moving slowly up to Weber Sta 4.
tion, this side of Ogden, on Wednesday morn 7
ing.
A man who had secured - a - ticket to _Omaha.
from Sacramento, at the station mentioned,
leaped from the train and deliberately placed
his neck on the iron rail in front of the rear.
car—the wheels passing over - it, completely
severed his head from his body. Our inform.
ant describes the scene as a most sickly one—
body on one side of the rail and head on the
other, with blood and brains scattered in
every direction.
The remains in their ghastly; condition , ,
were gatheked - bp and placed in a hex for in
term eat.
The cause of the terrible act could not be
definitely ascertained. From a letter found
in his possession—written with a lead pencil,
and that very dimly—it was thought by his
fellow passengers to be some serious trouble
bearing on his mind. The signature to the
letter was deciphered to be that of a Mr.
Welsh, from Marysville, Cal. In this dis
jointed and crushed up note the writer de
clared himself innocent before God and man.
Of what, however, we know not. He was a
heavy set man, with black whiskers, and
dressed in a gray suit.
All that we can say is that another life is
gone, and - -another family - reridetedWretobeit.
We might also mention that, in the letter, the
writer very pitifully said, "I cannot write—
no, not even to Sarah !"
To whom it was addressed we - could not as

I hasten to send you thy acceptance, together
with my thanks. The same blood, the same
language, the same religion, unite me more
intimatelylo you across that ocean which I
have traversed to visit the great cosmopolitan
republic. How proud, how happy I am .of
every intelligent, honest and generous effort
made by my compatriots in the common work
