PosTaL TREATY WITH FRANCE.—The State Department has received a communication from Minister Washburne, at Paris, enclosing & petition signed by several hundred citizens of the United States heretofore and now sojourn- ing im France, asking thatan effort be mada by our government to have the rates of postage between France and the United States reduced to something like the present rates between England and this country. The petition is signed by well-known citizens, such as Park Godwin, of New York, Drexel & Leland, of Philadelphia, &c. Mr. Washburne accompa- nies it by a note signed by himself, making a strong appeal that the suggestion be carried out, The State Department bas sent the pa- pers to the Postmaster General.

FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE FREXeH CADLE DirvicuLTY.—A satistactory arrangement bas been made with Secretary Fish by the officers of the French Cable Company, whereby our government permits the landing of the cable upon American territory. The difficulty arose from the fact that the Frenck government had granted to the company a privileged charter for twenty years, and that under this charter no American cable company could make a ing upon French territory. Tue agent of the French company, after several inter- views with the Secretary of State, agreed to hand over to the State Department a writien document, pledging the company to giveup their exclusive privilege in France, aud toac- cept the future legisiation ot Congress in re- gardto Atlantic telegraphs, Mr. Fisb, baving thus attained Dis object im obliging the com- pany to accept the conditions prescribed, gave the necessary permission to laud the cable at Duxbury, Mass., where it is expected to be by Friday next.

McReynolds, Scavenger. Mr. Moore said there was no such officer of the Corporation as “I ndertaker.” Mr. Clarke moved the reference of the nominations to the Appropriate committees. Mr. Chase moved to ainend the motion by proceeding to ballot on the confirmation of all of the nominations excent those of the undertaxers, Ubjected to by Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore hoped ail of the nowi- nations would be referred, that the character of the nominees might be inquired into. He ghiected particularly to the confirmarion o Charles H.

He ( M_) could susiain no such man. Mr. Connolly approved the sentiment uttered by Mr. Moore. Ail people who oppos+ the laws that protect them, and do deeds of vio- lence and shea blood, should be con*emned And denounced and repudiated until they shail have sbown signs and done works of repent- ance. The sentiment was good. but it was very possible Mr. Peters and the Kepablicans o' Second Ward have not sinned against i:, tbonghi a far larger and iore pretentious peo- ple have Mr. Chase warmly defended the action of the colored men and the Republican party of the Second Ward, and endorsed Mr. Peters, who he said was as true as steel. They all depre- cated the riot, but were not going to be dictated to by Democrats and traitors, who Were ‘em - selves responsible tor the rists. Mr. Moore read the proceedings of the Sec- ond Ward Republican meeting, saying that Peters opposed the very moderate resolutions expressing regret for the mots, which were introduced, and the meeting subsequently re- commended him for this very office of Com- missioner of Improvements. Mr. Chase's amendment to proceed to baliot on the nominations (with the exception ot those of undertakers) was agreed to; the mo- tion was adopted, and the board proceeded to ballot upon the nominations separately, when they were all confirmed except those of Messrs Charles H. Joy and A.
