Ex-PostMAsTER GENERAL RANDALL died at his residence in Elmira, New York, last night after a protracted illness. Governor Randall was a native of Wisconsin, and occupied the position of First Assistant Postmaster Gene- ral for some time. Upon the retirement of Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, from the head of the depart- ment Gov. Randall was appointed Postmaster General by President Johnson, and occupied that position until the close of his administration. Tue JAPANESE EMBASSY gave a farewell dinner to the members of the cabinet now in town, and other distinguished officials, at the Arlington last evening.

Casemir Perier, the Duke de —— and other promi- nent members of the right and left centers are members of the new creations. The ultra radi- cals and legitimists are excluded from its coun- sels. The party, which is to be known as the national party of France, has recognized the republic in its programme. This is sensible, for, taking it all in all, the republic, in the tace of its manifold obstacles, deserves weil of the French nation and those who desire the pros- perity of France.

Schurz at once declined to consider it; but when he got back to Missouri, seeing that the question of the annex- ation of San Domingo was likely to become a ferious peint of difference, he wrote General Pleasanion asking him to state more fully the overtures made verbally in New York. Pleas- anton answered the letter quite explicitly, and it is this which Senator Schurz says he can produce. ——_-—_—_ isarrest is offered by the Philadel) Company, and an additional $500 was offered by the square association.

A German census lately taken shows that the population since the war has diminished about fifteen thousand. B the conflict with Germany Metz hada a tion of forty-tive thousand, and a reduction of that number by one-third makesa very perce lible difference in the prosperity of the city. is not probable that the decrease is going to stop here. "Neither can it be expected that the gap thus occasioned will be supplied by Germanem- igration. The German emigrant, as a rule, de- res & more stable home than that which can be afforded bim in the newly acquired territory, and the United States holds out more substantial inducements to him to emigrate than a resi- dence on French soil. Besides, it is not quite so certain that France will not within a few years make an attempt to reclaim all she has lost in the disastrous campaigns of 1870 and 71.
