MINISTER DEICHMAN.—Secretary Evarts has had a conference with the President about the charges against Mr. Deichman, recently ap ointed minister to the United ‘States of Co- lombia. Tne Secretary informed the Presi- dent that no formal charges had been made. The result is that Mr. Deichman will sail for his post next wee! Tne PRESIDENT will leave this evening for Newark, Ohio, to attend the soldiers’ reunion, to be held there next Monday. He will be ac- companied by Mrs. Sollace, Attorney General Devens, Gen. Sherman, Mr, Webb C. Hayes, Mr. Crump and others. The party will be back by next Wednesday night. THE OLD MEXICAN Lonny, who are anxious for a bout with Mexico, are again putting in an appearance in Washington. They assert th: en. Ord’s first movement across the Rio Grande will bring about a collision with Diaz’ forees, and that the alternative will then be lefi this government to either swallow the in- Kea orfight. These, at all events, are their opes. More Notarres Pustic.— The President to-day appointed the following notaries public for the District: A. E. L. Keese, O. Kimmell, Charles B. Beall, E. Eckloff and Charles H. Murray. PRESIDENTIAL AVPOINTMENTS.—The Presi- dent to-day appointed John W. Collins, to be chief engineer in the U. S. revenue marine i He has also signed the commissiens s R. Brayton, to be postmaster at Providence, Rhode Island, and of A. S. Tracy, at Middleburg, Vt. REMOVAL OF INDI. A dispatch has been received at the Indian Office from Inspector ‘atkins in reference to the Utes and Apaches, whose remoy. ion at Cimar- ron, New Mexico, to their newly assigned quarters has just begun. He says: “The Indians have started in good shape; all are going.” TNE CONVENTION of postal superintendents, which has been meeting at the Post Oilice de- partment, adjourned yesterday to meet in New York to-morrow, for the purpose of ex- amining the registry system at the office in that city. Tue CABINET MEETING TO-DAY.—A topic of discussion at the Cabinet meeting to-day was revenue troubles in South Carolina. Four in- ternal revenue officials while in seareh of Redmon, the illicit distiller, killed in self-de- fence a man named Ladd, in whose house Redmon was concealed. The officers imme- diately went to Greenville and ve them- selves up. They were indicted for murder. An attempt was made to have the ease tran: been positively refused. The Atiorney eral announced that he would direct the marsha} to take out a writ of habeas corpus for the transfer of the prisoners. This course was approved. erred to the state court. This has en.

CARROLL, for the past year resi dent physician of the Children’s Hospital, has been appointed an assistant surgeon, U.S. A., with the rank of Ist lieutenant. POLITICAL SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTH.—Post- master General Key continues to receive let- ters of endorsement of his views as to the political duties of the southern people toward the government and themselvs. A letter re- ceived by him from a prom/nent Georgia democrat within the past few days indicates that the effect of his letter promises to result in something more than mere words of ap- proval. The gentleman alluded to states that a movement is on foot in Georgia to organize an taeerepaant party, out of the liberal ele- ment of the democratic organization, and he inquires what aid or recognition of such a movement might be expected from the admia- istration. This change of police sentiment appears in other places in the south, and there is no doubt Judge Keys’ sanguine corres- pondent thinks that with a proper exhibition of political sagacity by the President a formi- dable political organization could be built up which, by an alliance with what remains of the republican party, would haye a reasonable prospect of carrying some of the southern states, and would make a final disposition of the old Bourbon element, which arrays itself in hostility to every measure of reconciliation between the sections. THE SILVER DOLLARS.—Such arrangements have been made by the Treasury department that the standard silver doliar may now be had at any sub-treasury or Sepoatory in the United States for greenbacks. This is the case even in New York, Baltimore and other places where such disposition of the dollars had been stopped owing to the fact that customs duties were paid in silver in order to avoid the gold premium. The Treasury department is mak. ing every endeavor to dispose of the silver dollar, and get it into active circulation. Tue U. S.S, ALasKa, Capt.

The Grand National Fete—A Brilliant Illumina- } tion—Paris Ablaze—The Workingmen in France —The Fourth of July in Paris—Arrivals of Washingtonians, - [Correspondence of The Evening Star.] Panis, July 5th. A Frenchman seems never to be in a better humor and never better satisfied with himself and the world generally, than in celebrating the oft recurring fete days. Business for the most part ceases, and everybody turns out to have a good time, and to celebrate the day as best suits their respective positions, It is the working class that particularly delights to be freed from the daily tasks, and to find some pleasant out of door sport, where with the conventional bottle of wine and loaf of bread for lunch the time is spent in quiet or in noisy demonstrations, as the character of the day commemorated demands. THE WORKING CLASSES IN FRANCE. A casual observer is particularly struck with the absence of what we call the genuine poor class here. To see a beggar on the street is an exception. They all have some work to do, and the fact that they take their time about it: especially when working for foreigners, is perhaps a good thing for the country in ‘the end. It keeps them at work longer, and gives work to more men. This, however, won't solve the labor difficulties in our country, especially in Washington, where the penny lunch room habitues are as slow as any other class of people in working when they have something todo. The prosperous condition of the working classes of France, results, how- ever, from a much better cause—which gives France such a high stand among the civilized nations, no matter under how heavy loads she may be staggering. The people can all do something; from ‘youth they are taught some trade or are schooled in some branch of in- dustry which will put bread into their mouths, however hard the times may be. They may not be able to act employment in the manufactories, but up in the little garret of those immense houses the: and day upon some of those delicate pieces of handiwerk which are so famous all over the world for their unique designs and wond workmanship. These they, can always dispose of inthe many channels that are open. This is one way to explain the continual prosperity of the people, although there may be, and doubtless are, better and deeper reasons to be found, But whatever the reason, French work- men can always take part in all the holiday celebrations, With a light heart aud neatly dressed, THE GRAND NATIONAL FETE last Sunday, in commemoration of the French republic and the prosprrity of the country, which included, of course, the assured success of the Exposition, was one of the grandest of the kind imaginable. It seemed as if every person in Paris and its surroundings took part, and the streets were crowded. The beau tful city was decked in holiday attire from one end to the other. Everyvody felt able to urchase at it a tri-color flag. and wave it rom the windows. The celebration did not really begin until after pipaal, when the city seemed in a blaze of light. Uluminations shone everywhere. The pee points of interest were, however, from the Palace of the Tuileries, up'the Avenue of the Champs Ely- sees, and out as far as the Bois de Boulogne. THE ILLUMINATIONS were something wonderful. On the Chamns Elysees gas jets were extended along boch sides, and many fantasiie and striking desizns glittered everywhere. Little glasses of differ- ent colors, with a wick-in the center, sur- rounded by the melted candle, are the usual means of illuminating. The glasses can be held in any position desired by a piece of wire twisted about them. The avenue of the Bois de Boulogne was simply indescribable. From one end to the other, chandeliers of these dif- ferent colored glasses were on all sides, and also extended across the avenue at. short in- tervals. The Bois itself looked like fairy land. The trees and bushes were all illuminated in gorgeous style, and the crowd wandered about the winding paths, aud upon the shores of the es, and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful spectacle. It was here that the fireworks were chiefly displayed. S ean work night That grand monu. ment, the Triumphal Arch, never look- ed grander. All that was needed for it to attract particular attention and to surpass everything else in splendor was the single row of gas jets which ene'reled it near the top. No carriages were allowed from the gardens of the Tuilleries tothe Bois de Boulogne, and the foot passengers had the ht of way for once. In addition to the in- nerable gensd'armes. armed soldieis were stationed at ditferent points to preserve order, but their services were not needed. Never was there a better natured crowd, and there was no more disorder than the continual is ing of the Marseillaise, and loud eries of “Vive la Republique.” Everybody was crowded, but nobody seemed to mind it, and the expressions of “ Pardon” were heard on all sides. The word “pardon,” by the way, comes to a Frenchman's lips as easily as red wine goes to them; but the after actions often throw a doubt upon its sincerity. When the lights Went ,out at midnight the crowds dispersed tired But contented. THE FOURTH OF JULY was celebrated by the Americans in Paris with the customary picnic. A committee, composed of a number of the most influential Americans here, made all the arrangements fora grand celebration at Pre Catelan, a beautiful spot in the Bois de Bologne—that grandest of all parks. The day was celebrated and enjoyed, but the committee's arrangements were very poor, except for champagne. The dinner was held in a temporary tent, and was very good when it was possible to reach it. But in true Amer- ican style, everybody crowded about the fes- tive board at once. After the squabble for dinner, speech-making was indulged in. It wouldn't be Fourth of July unless there were speeches in honor of the day we celebrate. Remarks were made by Mr. Krantz, director general of the overnor MeCor- mick, the Minister to Belzium, President A. D. White. of Cornell University; Mr. Hitt and Mr. Cuniliffe-Owen. Then followed some fire- works, and afterwards there was to have been some dancing on the rough floor of the dinner tent, but through some blunder the musicians were sent home too ou. The picnic ad- journed, and many people had to walk two or three miles before a cab could be found. Nev- ertheless, it was Fourth of July, and every- body had a good time. GILMORE’S BAND has arrived, and their first concert was held yesterday afternoon, at the Trocadero. The audience was not as large as it should have been. The disappearance of Mr. Gilmore's agent placed him ina bad predicament. When he arrived here, day before yesterday, he found that his concert had not been adver- tised, but he pluck!ly kept his engagement. The band played very well, indeed, and it is generally pokjowind ied that itis better now than ever before. Miss Norton sang “The Star-spangled Banner” and “Home, Sweet Home,” beautifully. She has a very fine voice, and was enthusiastically received yesterday. The French papers this morning are not ver! loud in their praises of the American band. They acknowledged Miss Norton's beautiful voice, but were rather severe on the music of the “Star Spangled Banner.” They didn’t exactly see the fitness of things in Miss Nor- ton’s appearing With a military band. It isa rule that no concert shall be given at the Trocadero in uniform, but the band played in their's yesterday. It was decided, after some correspondence, that it would be per- mitted, as no battle was ever fought in their uniform. After the concert yesterday the band attended the picnic. There they played a@ number of national airs. They, however, did not receiye as good care as their kindness should have insured for them. WASHINGTONIANS IN PARIS. Americans are arriving here very rapidly now, and every day brings new faces, and some familiar ones. Mr. Jno. J. Knox, Mr. J. W. Boteler and wife and Mr. Chas. A.

A LIVELY CORRESPONDENCE AND AN INVITA- TION FOR A MEETING OUTSIDE THE DIS- TRICT. Recently Gen. Eppa Hunton, ina joint dis- cussion in Alexandria with 8. C. Neale, a rival candidate for the democratic nomina- tion for Congress, read an article in the Wash- ington Sentinel, in which he was aceused of being one of a ring in this District. Gen. Hun ton explained that the oceasion for this state ment was his vote in favor of a bill for a_cor- rection of assessments, which had been brought to him indorsed by Commissioner Bryau, Judge Wylie aud Columbus Alexan- der. Mr. Alexander, in a communication to the Alexandria Gazetée, denied the statement of Gen. Hunton so far as it applied to him, and charged that Hunton was the member of a ring. apt. F.C. uoppard. of Warrenton, ., in the interest of Gen. Hunton, then called on Mr. Alexander with a letter from Gen. Hunton, enclosing the paragraph and DEMANDING A RETRACTION. Mr. Alexander replied that he had no an swer to make him, but would answer in the press. Sheppard replied in substance that he Representativ: bu ‘Mr. would take no verbal answer from Alexander, but wanted one in writing. To this Mr, Alexander replied: “You will take just what I give you and nothing else. ALEXANDER, INSTEAD OF RETRACTING, RE- NEWS THE CHARGES. Mr. Alexander, in a letter to the Alexandria Gazette, says he “cannot be ‘bull-dozed’ by Gen. Hunton or any of his District appointees: If Gen. Hunton is wrongly reported f shall do him justice. At present L have no proof, how- ever, that such has been the case. In conclu- sion, I think it proper to state to my Virginia friends that I am osidve that Gen. Hunton has always been friendly to the radical rings of this District, and helped them to get throug bills of a character of that infamous assess- ment enforcing act, Which passed the House March 181: He has, on that account, been rewarded with a considerable District patron. age, of which the above Mr. Sheppard is living specimen. For that reason the dem crats of the eighth Virginia Congressio: trict will really have performed act toward the poor people of this District if they should keep the general from the field at the next clection. If they have any doubt as to the correctness of my asser. ions, that doul will be removed by the fact that every rit paper in the District, radical and democrati rom the National Republican down, works for the re-election of Gen. Hunton.” GEN. HUNTON INVITES MR. ALEXANDER TO MEET WIM OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT. To this letter Gen. Hunton, under date of July ith, wrote to Mr. Alexander in a regis. tered letter that he had written him to give him an opportunit: orrect an error, but instead of doing this “you have replied offen- sively through the press, and been guilty of usions to my friend, Capt. Sheppard.as justify the apprehension that you would avail yourself of the police of the District to subject any friend of mine to arrest under certain eir- cuinstances. Iam thus constrained to resort to the mail as the only safe method of comm: nicating with you. Relying on your declara- tion in your Sceond eard that you are a Vir- ‘inian, Vask that you will indicate some place yond the reach of the District police, where ademand for the reparation which Virginians accord in such cases can be made upon you. To be sure that you receive this, L send it’as a registered letter. An answer addressed to me at this place will reach me. MK, ALEXANDER ANSWERS, a PEATING THAT MR. HUNTON CAN'T BULL-DOZE HIM. Mr. Alexander, in the Alexandria Gazette of yesterday, publishes another letter. After stating that Gen. Hunton in a public speech had “grossly insulted” him by saying that the most infamous ring measure ever passed through Congress, and for which Gen. Hunton voted, “had been brought to him indorsed by Commissioner Bryan, Judge Wylie and Coluni- bus Alexander, Baas e felt compelled to show from the record that Hunton’s statement was false. Mr. Alexander then continues: “Instead of writing and correcting the wrong done me, you send me, through one of your appointees under the radieal Distriet government, a letter in which you attemp: to bull-doze’ me. Well, that you ¢ I am a free citizen, and I shall always a . self of the great privilege of such a citizen, to- wit: To defend myself and fellow-citizens | and our property’ against such and confiscaung ‘ring acts in question, and for wi merely voted, bi ge of which you exerted ‘yourself personally, something which you do not dare todeny. That it is a ring act of the most atrocious character is shown by the recent opinion of District Attor: ney Riddle, who cannot help excusing himself for the hard features of that law by exelaim- ing that he did not make the law! You have been our enemy, and for that reason, and no other, we ask the Virginia democracy not to return you to Congress. There is nothing in cae letter that should induce you and your friend, Capt. Sheppard, that I ever intended to use the police against the latter, though I must confess that his visits were frequent and an- noying, one of them being made on Sunday night, about ten o'clock, after I had retired to bea. It is not customary in polite society for strangers to make calls in such manner ahd at such times. You seem to havean ungrounded fear of our District police, though you ought to know that it is under the control of your radical ring friends, who will certainly see that no harm shall be done you. In that you have even the advantage over me, asthat very police stood guard over and directed the hired urglar to my house on the night when the ring scoundrels were trying, by theirinfamous infamous as the one you not conspiracy, toruin me and myfamily. No, you need not fear that police.” PRAISING AND DE! Hayes.—Gen. UNC! Banks made another speech Wednesday, ti ing a somewhat diferent tone than on Satur- day at the Middlesex club dinner. It was at the ceremonies attending the dedication of a soldiers’ monument in the old town of Han- over, in the Old Colony district, and in re- sponse to a toast to the President of the United States. He spoke of President Hayes as entitled to share the respect and confidence and receive support equally with all who have governed before him, without regard to pre- sent relations or to personal or political opin- ions. It is to the result we look and upon which we form our judgment. If integrity and purity of public life, wise exceution of his duties and sacrifices of his blood on the field of battle can speak for a man and in de- fence of a man, the President has that claim upon us. Another speaker, Hon. Edward Y. ny, president of the Hanover Branch railroad, in responding to a toast, ‘Our Unreturned Sol- diers,” took the opposite tack and denounced the administration in strong terms for its southern policy. He opposed the sentiment which proposed to conciliate unrepentant rebels. To conciliate rebels would be to con- ciliate murderers, thieves and midnight as- sassins. If conciliation is the policy of the administration, the nation will be broken into fragment: The children are already born who will see the second great rebellion, nursed by conciliation of the rebels of the first.

ELECTION QUESTION IN ENGLAND.—The Question of a general election was discussed at the session of the English cabinet on Wed- nesday, and was strongly mier, ihough many of the ministers opposed it. The impression is that if the explanations of Lord Beaconsfield are well received and the opposition or a section thereof challenge the noble lord’s policy, that will be made a justification for going the country and re- newing the conservative lease of power- HANLAN, THE OARSMAN, MISsING.—A re- rt reached St. John, N.B, yesterday lanlan, the el that e oarsman, Went out rowing’ at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and had not returned atlp.m. As the water had become toorough fora to live some fears for his safety are felt, and men have gone in search of him. 4eLouisville doesn’t take much stock i Edison’s invent but it promises a ‘monu. ment to the man SlEAC Hat Wp ponnyang he OW MsmOKG. | | owners Telegrams to The Star. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS. Texas and Colorado. BEACONSFIELD'S EXPLANATION ——_+—__. Lively Passage in the House of Lords THE TORRID WEATHER. —_.—__—_. COLORADO DEMOCRATS. v nd Platform. —The democratic state convention to-day nominated W. A. H. Love- jand for governor, and renominated Thos. M. Patterson for representative in Congress, botli by acclamation. The platform affirms a strict construction of the constitution, with all the amendments, as follow: Supremacy of civil over military complete severance of chureh and 'e, and the protection of the common schoo! ; that every honest voter should ap. prove of an investigation and exposure of the monstrous frauds by which the will of the ican people has been set aside, and their ice for President and Vice Presidene de: prived of the high offices to which they were elected. It disclaims any purpose of interfer. ing with the title of the President, made valid by the order of Congress. To the end that such crimes be rendered impossible in future and the perpetrators made infamous, it de. mands that such investigation be fair and seg athor of the crimes be searching, and the held accountable: that the commercial and industrial distress that prevails is the result of vicious financial legislation of the moneyed power, effected through the agency of the publican party in Congress by the demoneti- zation of silver, the enactment of the resump- tion law, the retirement and destruction of legal tender notes, the exchanze of bonds orig. inally redeemable in greenbacks for those which are to be redeemed in coin. maintenance of the national banking system : that before trade and business enterprises ube checked in their downward n increase in the volume of th 'y imperatively required. It demands free and Luntinited coinage of silver. so that t ion may have it coined, and without furt interference by the gov- ernment, circulate the same; also that the government shall issue to depositors silver bullion coin certificates for circula. tion as money. It denounces the Senat. amendments to the silver bill passed by Con gress, because they enabled the Secretary of the Treasury to entirely control the coir of silver and to hoard the same in the Tr ury. It demands the repeal of the resump’ act and a substitution of U. paper for national bank notes, and its perma- nent re-establishment as the sole paper money of the country, to be made receivable for all dues to the government, the amount of such issues to be regulated by legislation of or. ganiclaw. It aflirms the exclusive right and duty of Congress to furnish to the people of the country their circulating medium,whether gold, silver or paper,and it should always mention the values of such currency, so as to meet the demands of trade. The full faith and credit of the government should be pledged to maintain whatever currency it way furnish of equal value and power, There shall be no further increase in the bonded debt and no further sale of bonds for the pur chase of coin for resumption purposes.

His Lordship pointed out that England had, ac- cording to promise, obtained a hearing fur Greece, and had made, prior to the Congress, overtures to the Porte which were received in a more than encouraging spirit, fur such reeti- fication of the frontier as will give Greece a considerable iverease of strength and resources, and prevent brigandage anc the continued dissensious which are fostered bythe sent configuration of the frontier.
