THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. JULY .8, 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES PARIS. The Reassembling of the Frehch Parliament. The Chamber of Deputies Turned into a Wild-Beast Show. fote of Censure on the Governmentesw Rumors of a Ceming Coup &’Etat. Village-Fetes Near the Oapital—Theatrical and Operatic Gossi), FRENCH POLITICS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Paris, France, Juce 20.—After 2 month’s en- forced absence, the Chambers have reassembled at Versailies. The first act of the Government +was to demand the counsent of the Senate to the dissolution. It is probable that the question will be decided aflirmatively to-day or to-mor- row. Such atleastis the general expectation here since the Legitimists made known that they had resolved to give the Cabinet the indis- pensable assistance of their votes. To-morrow, then, or, at latest, the end of the week, France will be without a representative. Such men as thoee who hold the power at present have no claim totbe name. They are most positive mis- represcntatives. You know by cable what has passed in the Chamber of Deputies. Since Saturday scene lias followed scene; passions have beeninflamed tored-heat. The upshot of it all is this: As was anticipated, the Republican majority has passed a vote of censure upon the Government, —thercby dealing it a blow which it will not easily recover from, despite all its impudence. The text of * THE ORDER-OF-TRE-DAY VOTED is plain, strong, and shows that the Chamber Is thoroughly in carnest- Read it, and judge: The Chamber of Deputies—constdering that the Ministry formed on the 17th of May by the Presi- deat of the Republic, and presided over by M. de Brochie, has been called to the head of affairs contrary to the law of majoritics, which is the rule of Parliamentary Government; that, ever fince its formation, it bas avolded giving any explanation of its condnct to the represcntatives of the country; that it hzs dirorganized the administrationin order t0 manipulate univenal suflrage by all means in its power: that it represcnis 3 mere coalition of Mon- archical partics, acting under the guidance of the Clericals; thst, in consequence, ever since the 17(h of May, ithas sllowed attacks against the Tational repre<entation and cascs of incitement to 2 violation of the law to go nnpunished; that, on a1l these accounts, it in 8 danger to order and peace, and disquieting tv commercial and other interests: declares, that the Ministry has not the confidence of the representatives of the Nation, and passes tothe Orider-of-the-Day. Tms scathing condemnation of the Cabinet was aporoved by 363 members,—exactly the number which signed the Protest of the Left after the dismiseal of JulesSimon. Since the16th of May one of the Rcpublican members has died, but the loss of thisvote was counter- ‘balanced by the adhesion of Prince Jerome Bonavarte, who scems to have broken with his family rood and all. One Trundred and fifty- eizht Deputics voted aguinst the censure. The Repuolicans had thus a mzjority of no less than 205. 1 cannot descripe the excitement that has ‘becn created in Paris and in Versailles by the | events of this week. The fight for scats during the progressof the debates was a sufficient index to the intense intcrest felt. Very few, comparatively, were able to gain admittance to the Chamber, but those few who did witnessed an edifying spectacle indeed. Never since the daveof the Convention hasthe National As- sembly presented sach A DISGRACEFUL ASPECT. In the worst quarrels of the 1§71 Assembly, some sort of decency was maintained. Honor- able members did mot give cachotber thelie dircet, or, if they did, they senerally made some sort of a retraction, to show that, If they were politicians, they were also gentlemen. But, on Saturday, Monday, and Tucsday, passion swept away all restraint. The Left was, at the outset, calm and moderate enough; but it was soon evident that the Bopa- partists had determined on a deliberate attempt tostific free discussfon; and, ma foi being Frenchmen, the Republicans were hot-headed, and soon exchanged their first attitude for onc less dignified. Then there was an end of all order. The Chamber soon resembled a Roman amphitheatre rather that a respectable resort of ‘tumdrum middle-aged gentlemen of the nine- 1centh century. Fierce taunts and vulgarin- sults were bandied to and fro, and at moments it really looked as if the whole matter would have e¢nded in a free fight. In the midst of all the storm M. Gambetts, on Saturday, contrived—thanks 10 a paticnee untiring and an cloquence alinost unrivaled—to dcliver a really magnificent sgeech. in which he set forth very completely the programme of the Republican party. Ie concluded by an apposite allusion to the Parlia- ment of 1830. *Like the 221 who were then sent to the country,” said Gambetta, e shall return stronger than cver. The 363 Repub- licans of to-day will be increased to 400.” His specch—which may be taken as as a manifesto of the Left—lasted closc upon three hours,—tbree hours of incessant tumult, of con- stant. interruption, of unbridled passion; and this with the thermometer marking something 1ike ninety-five degrces in the shade. I think evervone will scknowledge that a man must Tave the right mettle in him to go through such 20 ordeal. The smount of iced coffce consumed by the orator during his speech was remarkable; some g4y he drank_thirteen mazagrans; others limit it to cight.. Whatever may De the truth about this grave question, one thing is sure: on descending from the tribune M. Gambetta was £0 utterly exbausted that HE PAINTED AWAY 2t the buffet. Some idea of the seance may be formed when 1 1eil you that that stupid wild beast, Paul de Cassammag, interrupted the proceedings m.-t.unlldy 105 times! _ His fellow-Bonapartist and friend, M. Robert Mitchell, was burdly behind him. Both these honorable represcatatives ot *“moral order” distiuguished themselves so wonderfully thal the President of the Chamber, M. Grevy, after having vainly cxhausted his mild stock of warnings aud calls to order, was _obliged to ask the House to vote what is known as “la cen- sure In cases where a Deputy is thus stizmatized, a report of the incidont and a vopy of the censure are printed and post- ed up conspicously iu the department or town he represents. It is a very weak puinshment for such incorrigible ruflians as Cassagnac, and, of couree, had no effect in deterring him from the grotesque irsolence by which alone he lives and thrivee. A reputation for a certain recklees dare-devilry somehow has protected the great Bonapartist bully hitherto, but, in thelong run, he may find lnmeelf worsted with his own weap- Qne. Perhaps, too, his reputation has been 8 little overdrawn. . Paul Cassagmac knows howto back out of a quarrel well enoush when .he does mot fecl suro of winuing. Yesterday, during a speech of M. Louis Blanc, who had taxed the Bonapartists with being the cause of the Sedan disaster, Cassagnac had the incredible audacity to retort that the real cause of the catastrophe was * the cowardice of the Republicans.” Nothing could be more scnsc- less, of course; but M. Georges Perin_ thousht he interruption, idle and mendacious as it was, 00 gross to pass unchallenged, and, monnting the tribune, he read M. Paul 2 lesson 1 hope he may profit, by. * M.

What have the Monarchlsts to #ain by it? Any profit accruive to tne Leritimists would be loss to the Orlean- ists and Bonapartists. The substitution of & Napoleonic regime for the actual order of thinzs would infallibly crush the Rovalists. An Orleanist Monarchy would die of ridiculeand impotence in six months, if it lasted so long. Whose turn would be served then by & coup d’elat? Ipass over an absurd cancan which attributes to Marshal MacMahon the project of getting himself nominated President for life, and of marrying his daughbter to the Prince Imperial. A coup d” etat could only lead to the momentary triumph of one party, the Ultra- ‘montanes; it would, however, be a triumph so evanescent that I do not think the wily Jesuits 50 short-sighted or carcless of their real in- terests as to counsel it.

And for this France fs to be plunged into the excitement of electoral agi- tation, peace with foreign nations is to be en- dangered, and a possible remewal of the barricades of 43 to be gratuitously ked. The first of these threc inevitable; the sccond and third, please Heaven, will be spared us. . So far, the attitude of the people and the Republicans has been cor- rect and modcrate. There is no teace of effer- vescence in the working _quarters of the Fau- bourir du Temple and Belleville, the historic headquarters of revolt, as I cau LesLify de visue. I frequently have oceasion to venture into these evil-smelling but industrious corners of Paris, and have aiways [ound every one quictly oceu- pied with his own aflairs, ~ The famous Carre- four de Barricades, at the point where the Rue St. Maur crosses the Faubourz dn Temple, looks as peaceful as thouth the bloody scencs it witnessed in '71 and during the Empire had never disturbed it. 1 wonder whether we shall t behold the people * coming down the Fau- bouryrs.” It looks impossible now, but this isa city of surprises. One cvening lately, T was in the unfragrant neighborbood 1 am writing about, when, as I ngpmmm the bridge which spans the Canal St. Martin, I noticed a cro Men and womnen were peering into the foul stream, and talking toxether of some accident that had happened Twas about to inquire what was the matter, when an exclamation of a workman to his mate spared me the trouble. “IT'S ONLY A WOMAXN who has chucked berself into the water!” said he in the horrible argat of the faubourgs. 1 wish I could convey to you the tone of ¢ al brutality in which ihe remark was made. “Ouly a woman! and this from a_man of the peoplé, who might have been looked to, you would think, for sympathy. Only 8 woman! Onc more unfortanate, Weary of breath, Rashiy importunate, Gone to her death. An hour Iater I crossed the bridze again. The crowd was standing there still, stupidly gazing down into the sullen blackness, at the spot where the tragedy of another life had been ac- complished. On the face of the dark, fever- 1aden water. just where the victim bad disap- }mnred, I saw the reflection of a ras-jet. It was anciful, no doubt; but, as I watched it appear and disappear,—one moment visible onthe crest of a tiny ripple, the next hidden in a bolow,— it 1ooked to me like one of shose corpse-lights which gcop)o sayarc scen in churchyards. 1t mirht have becn the woman’s soul. How grateful the fresh air of the counts scems after all the agitation and bustle of Poli- tics. A railway-station in Paris is a goodly sight on these hot June mornings. HUNDRED3 OF THOUSANDS OF FLEASURE-SEEK~ RS, in every sort of fanciful satiire, besiege the ticket-offices of the Gare St. Lazare. The boats that run to St. Cloud and Charenton are crowd- cd, and, as for the omnibuscs ana_trams, I ity an¥ one who depends on_them for conveyance to his destination. It common’ to bave to wait for thirty or forty omnibuses before the number figuring on the ticket which you are oblized to take is called out by the vigilant but exasperating ofti- ciuls of the Company. But, when once you are fairly mounted on the uncomfortable imperial what joy to mark the disappointed faces :f the persons whose numbers come. aiter yours! How pleasant to return the hostile and cnvious scowl by a blandly-sympithizing smile of cn- couragetnent; to watch that very stout gentle- wan (whom you dreaded as a possible neighbor ou the limited cboard ) left bebind per- Bpiring! Whatever direction vou may take when you turn your back Paris;-you find plenty of amusement. This is the ecason of THE THOUSAN: .LAGE FPETES which are held every year in the environs. You have the choice of a score every Sunday. If you love noisc and the gayety of the vuigar herd, Joinville-le-Pont, Nogent, and Vincennes arc within easy reach, and you may revel in the mu- sic of snirliony, throw away your money at count- Joss rifie-gallerics in the innmocent effurt to crack cge-shells, borne upward by a persistent jet of - wateri or you may, for a couple of sous, visit_the fat woman, con- i is suit Milo Sybille, thé sonnambalist, zamblo for maccaroons at. the billiard-table, playat ¢ Dutch- ing ton? for nuts, or exercise your skill in thro balls into the thruat of “a formidable-looki wooden monster.

And then the illuminations in the eveniug—the cafe- concerts—the fireworks! Pienty of amusement for the smallest of outlays, I assurc you. _ But, peradventure, you have no mind for such vul- ar sports.

PARIS, June 23.—It is refreshing to turn from the recent upheasing of socicty at Lonzehinmps, yith its glare and glitter, and strange comming- Ying of all elassks, 1o more quict cvents which have lately claimed attention. Amoug these, he presentation of a ilitary muh}l to Mlle. Todu has not been smong the least important. It was given amidst impressive surroundings, and no Cross of the Legion d’Honncur can be- stow greater honor than this worthy tribute which France bas aceorded to Mile. Dodu tor vices rendered by her during the war of 1570~ 7L At that time she was dircetress of the teie- grachic station at Pithuiers, when the Germans, becoming masters of this tows, seized the office and all its appurtcnances, and made Mlle. Dodu prisoner. She was placed ina small room on the lowest floor, through which the telegraphic ‘wire passed, and having adroitly secreted a wire she fastened it above and below the insulator, and thus discovered all the Prussian dispatches. Towards the end of November a dispatch from the Prussiaus cstablished at Orleans arrived at Pithuiers, to the address of Prince Frederic Charles, indfeating the situation of a Frencl corps enroute for Gien, and the maneuvres necessary to surround the troop. The dispateht is sent in triple Laste to the menaced General, andthe French corps is saved. The Prusslans discovering the manner in_which their projects had becomeknown, Mlle. Dodu was sentenced to death. Happily at_this moment the armistice was signed. The Prince Frederic Charles wish- ed to sce the heroic prisoner, and on paying her avisit ke congratulated her on her courage and devotion to her country with a gencrous enthu- siasm rarely found among our enemics. fo the present political excitement, patriotic deeds of the past are looming up which have hitberto been unrewarded, but none go worthy of record among the ladics as that of Mile. Dodu. fashion is ever on the alert TO NONOR HEROES AND HEROINES by naming toilettes, or portions of them, after thie new star in popular favor, we haye hats a la Dodu, and = new color called Dodu blue, which is a sort of rosc-azure, if that can describe the magical tints scenin the sheeny ribbons and frills just making their appearance. These are somewhat in the changeable style worn by our grandmothers, but in such beautiful and deli- cate combinations that no suggestions of the former ugly sage and brown mixtures arise in {he rich but delicately varied tints now seen in these chamelcon silks. _These are truly charm- ing in the toilettes for July and August, which are generally made in Princesse style, with square open corsazes and elbow sleeves. The Jatter well accord with the dafuty white lace mitts, which reach nearly to the clbow, and which are now more casily obtained than was onticipated at the commencement of the summer season. _ Apropos of these mitts, 1 am informed by Worth that it Iias been impossible to forward with foreign orders for his neweststyles any of these ercamy Tace coverings for the linuds, a3 the supply has Teretofore been too limited for hotme demand.

A short time since, whilst visiting Victor lugo, hie requested the liltle George to recite some verses of the poct, which was done in the most_charming manuer by the littie fellow.

GexevA LARE, Wis., July 7.—Water, one of the grandest elements of scencry, never scemed 80 beautiful before. We gaze on the lake for hours, entranced with its increasing attractions. A margin of sparkling sand forms its Jjeweled setting, ond the oak-crowned promontory-of Camp Collie, stretching into it from the base of the hill, lends new'and picturesque features to an aquatic scenc full of beauty. The couthwest winds in its passage through the hills, lashes the lake into a sca as angry as the fretted ocean, covering it with foam; or lulls the laughing waters Into rest, until, in the glory of the sunset, fn the purple mist of evening, the wavelets on the shore, falntly ripplinz on the pebbles, woo peace and slumber for the camp. ADVANTAGES. Camp Collie possesses such an abundance of natural . advantages over Lake Bluff, Occan Grove, Chatauqua, or otber Christian camos, that it scems certainly destined to become the Ieading resort of this character for the entire Western country. The main idea, to be kept coustantly in view, is to maintain it a8 a summer-camp, 4 warneweather resort, cou- tinually _surrounded by temperance and Christianizing _ iufluences; to be. free from fashion’s follies, the depraved dis- play of wealth, and vicious _esamples The management believe o place can be established here which will be, in summer, the recogized headquarters for Christian people of all denominations, when seeking healthful ree- reation and a power{ul influcnce for good. SUNDAY 15 expected to bring with it a very largre humber of visitors to the camp from the surrounding villnges and farms, as_well as from the larce cities. The exervises will be very interesting on this, ihe only Sabbath during the session, and several epeakers, who aro_ distinguished in tem- porance aud religious work, will ssist. FROM ELGIN. Prof. Ward, the vocalist, arrived here to-day from Elgin, and will remain ecveral davs, taking charge of the music. Arrangements have heen perfected to recoive a party from Elgin ou Mon- &ay ovening. There will probably be o couch- loaa of people interested in_temperance and Christian work. The farc will be $1.80° for the round trip. Efforts will be made to’ sccure a special coach, attached to the regular train leaving Elgin at 58 Monday ~ even- ing. The . Rev. E. Dickinson, Mesdames Ward, Coan, R. A. Adams, Miss Jennie Whitford, and others will be among the party, all of whoin ure connccted with the Elgin Good-Templars organization, and who will assist in song-service, appropriate readings, and speaking. CENTENART EXCURSION. On Tuesday ucxt, tne 10thinst., theSociety of the Centenary Church, Chicago, will enjoy an excursion over the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad to Geneva Lake, aud theace to Camp Collic by steamers. If the weather proves pro- pitious, - probably 1,000 people will take advan- tage of the op) lake and spend the day at the camp. SATURDAT. There was an increased attendance to-day at the camp, aud there are indieations of a large number of visitors Sunday. Therc were prayer and song servicee in the forenoon. The topic, “(Christfans in_the World, but Not{of the World,"" was nbg discussed by the Rovs. W. W. Patton and W. H, Daniels, of Chicago, and the Rev. Edminster, of GenevaLake. The different ideas brought out were very intercsting. The afternoon topic, *The Bible, and How to Read It,” was well handled by the Reys. Loomis, of Miiton Junction, Bingham, of Millburn, Will- iams, of Geneva Lake, and' Patfon and Danicls, of Chicago. Fairbank’s stcam vacht *Cisco” gave two Jarge partics of delegates a free ride on the lake this afternoon, and was voted thanks.

QuIXOTE QUICKSIGHT. THE RAILROADS. THE CANADA SOUTHERN. * The announcement {s made that at the last meeting of the Board of Directors of the Canada Southern Rallroad the resignation of Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt as President of the road was re- ceived and accepted, and thatJ. C. Tillinghast was elected to fil the vacancy. Mr. Tilling- bast has been for yearsthe General Superin- tendest of the New York Central Railroad, and isone of Vanderbilt’s most trusted officials. The change in_the Presidency, thercfore, docs not imply a_change in the policy of the rond, for Mr. Vanderbilt will remain "its dirccting spirt. the same as heretofore. Mr. Tilinghast's o cction means simply & closer —union between_ the Canada Southern and New York_ Central than has existed heretofore. It has not yet transpired whether Mr. Tillinghast means to make any changes among the present officials of the road. Mr. Georze H. Burrows, Superintendent of the Western Division of the New York Central, is mentioned as the person who will - fill the va- cancy created by Mr. Tillinghast’s promotion. TI[E WABASH FAST TRAIN. The absence of Mr. W. B. Strong, General Superintendent -of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroud, in theWest during the last two or three weeks has been the cause of the quiet- ness in regard to the fast-tmin fmbroglio. On 1ils arrival here Tuesday some action in regard to this matter will undoubtedly be taken. The continuance of the fast train on the Wabash is working very disastrously far the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quiney and Chicago & Alton Rail- road, as much of the Southwestern business which used to o over these linos is now going via the Wabash. The Pittsbure & Fort Wayne is_also suffering from the preeent stats of affairs but not to the same extent as the above- named two lines. This road is willing to run a fast train out of this city if the Burlinaton and Altou Rouds will assume a share of the burden and not_leave it all on the shonlders of the Eastern Ine. From what. can he learned, Mr. Strong is in favor of taking some action azainst the encroachments of the Wabash, and the clinces are that the fast-train difficulty will be revived in a few days. TAE ST. LOUIS LIVE-STOCK T"OOL. Information has been reccived from St. Louis that the Committee of General Freizht Azents appointed to carry Into effect the Cleveland agreement for pooling the St. Louis live-stock shipments has concluded its labors, and made an agreement which it is believed will prove satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. C. W. Wins- Jow has been appointed Sceretary of the pool. The arrangement is that cach roud shall, as nearlyas practicable, furnish cars only to the extent of its per centage based upon the prev- jous week's shipments. If any road takes more than its_percentage, it is required to put into the pool $20 per car for the excess, which smount is. to be divided between thic_other roads according to their percentage. This is nearly the eame arrangzement as is in cxistence botween the roads leading east from Chicago. THE LIVE-STOCK POOL. S7. Louis, July 7.—The regular monthly mecting of the Geaceral Freight-Agents of St. Louis reilroads was held at the Lindell Hotel to-day, and on arrangement entered into to pool all carnings on live-stock ehipments dur- ing the remainder of the year. This agreement was made between all the Iimes running from Tere to New York, and the new rate adopted is only five cents per hundred pounds higher than the rate from Chicagro. This is the lowest tariff over adopted. and it is said it will be Tiridly adkered to. According mileaze, the rate from St. Louis to New Gork should be eight cents more than frcm Chicago, but the Northern lines have agreed that it shall be fixed at five cents. THFE GREAT WESTERN. ToRoNTO, Can., July 7.—The Great Western Railroad Cowpany have summoned a special meeting to be held Ang. 1, for the purnost of empowering the Directors to exercise the special powers conferred on the Company, whereby they may crvate an issue_of ordinary shres in liet of the whole or a portion of their borrow- ne nowers, towards the paging off and redecm- nig the terminablo bonds. TTEM Rumors have been in circulation during the past few days that the en$tncers and firemen of geveral of the roads which have reduced salarles recently intended to strike nnless their salaries were restored. Diligent inquirles do not con- firm thesc rumors, no such movement being talked of by any of the men cxcept a few hot~ heads, whose services could easily be spared. At 110 time have there been so many idle engineers and firemen as there are now, and, if a strike should be attempted, it would be an easy mat- ter to get new and competent men. The " Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Rail- road has declared a_quarterly dividend of ug per cent. on special guaranteed stock, and 13 per cent quarterly on regular guaranteed stock. —————— Artlficlal Champagne, 4 New York World.

Prof. Swing Is in Favor of Letting Well Enough Alone. Bishop Foloy States Why He Signed the Temperanca Women's Petitions, The Alliance of yesterday has the following pertinent observations on the proposed revival of the temperance question: The Improved welfare of this one city be when the Friends of g00d govetament 100k nts ihe local canvass just a8 many moral or virtuons ideas &3 the majoriiy of voters could see in that lizht. The question of former days bad been, Whai do we' leaders bolieve? What ideas do we editors, and clergymen. and lawyers, and deacons, and eiders, and Yankces hold as true, as ukeful? An answer to these inquiries having been agreed upon by a small group, these were worked ap into aplatform, and then came the offort to make the maltitode deposit in the ballot-box their faith in such gencralities. But béhold, that multitude was a big fact, and conld not be dispoeed of by an essay, or a epeech, ora sermon.

Hence, however perfect may have beenthe political theory of the press, and claset, and pulpit, that theory al- ways fuiled' to secure on election-day the enpport needful to success. What remained, therefore, but to open the political creed and throw out the ideas thatdivided the multitude and retain that part of morals upon which a majority could acree? From the moment when oar leaders did this, sizns ofa better day appeared. _Some virtue clotlied with power fs better than sn idcal Government if the latter exist only in philosophicliterature. The ballot-box became valuable the moment our leaders ceased o) !ng:itn?pnnmm»lcmlizuziun,unizm us- ness, or Puritanism than the majority were cartying at the time. g doniy o It was found that while the Germans werenot clear as to th damaging nature of beer, they had their minds folly made up that a_city’ should_ be zoverned by lonest snd intelligent men, and Rence, their beer being tolerated, they would vote for men of intelligence and integrity. It was alu discovered that while there were tens of thousands who did nut hold the Idea of the Christian Sunday, yet thess same thousands did believe in economy. aud honesty, and capacity in all city oflices, from a fire company. to the Mayoralty aud_the ' courts.

AN APPEAL FOR TEMFERANCE AID. To the Editor of The Tribune. CmicAdo, July 7.—So much has been ssid on the question of temperance that it would seem there remained but little more that could be said or done to promote the Interest of temper- ance. Yet this question will. be discussed and agitated 8o long as whisky is manufactared aud traffic in it is carried on. No radical chane has ever taken place, mo great reform ever been brought about, only as it has been agitated by the people, and the public minds been educated in the dircction of such change and reform, and brought to a higher standard. Shall we as a nation, claiming to be a Cliristian people, claiming to be God’s children. here to do His will, sit supinely down until our enemy has bound us hand and foot? Shall ours be- come & nation of drunkards, or shall we put on the brakes before the whole' country is plunged into this rushing river of rum? Must the rim- seller be allowed to go on forever, ruining the Youus and slayioe the old? Must this evil con- tinue to devour the hearts of women and the souls of men?
