Wasmrnoron, Noy. 17, 187 A Diplomatic Quandary—Prem: ‘ nition of tho Frenel Rew ‘The frst result of the grave binn ler committed In Me too precipitate recognition of a republic with put ahead has just been brought to zhi by the udden appearance in Waslilogton of Viscount Tretl- hard, the duly accredited Miuister Plenipotentiary of the once powerlul Emperor of the French, who fs now doing penance at Wilheimshthe i for bis complicated shortcomings. Ib will | be remembered that the Viscount Tre’lhard was formerly Sec of Legation, and | subsequently Consul General, (rom wh he was transferred to Chill in the ¢: Exuaordinary, which, according to French dis | pensation, seem to be tke regulur gra | Siauon in the ladder of dipios pro- motiou—vide Montholon and we who ts now French Minister at Lima. The Viscount, ke the above-mentioned gentlemen, has aiso had the | good taste to marry an American lady, who wil | coatribute her share to the at ons of Washing ton society during the forthcoming scason, Afier the tragical termination ef M. Paradol’s carcer, Viscount Treiliard was designated to take his place mn Washington and credentials to that effect were speedily forwarded ty Santiago. The Viscount, how- .Bver, like a good philosopher, took matters easll: gisited the various places of interest on the Pacifle poast and Mnally arrived in New York a few days ago, to learn that a Prusdan monarch was holding his court at Versailies aud that the glory of the second empire had disappeared like eggs out of a conjuror’s box. Leaving bis family in New York he immediately proceeded to Washington, where bts advent set all | the diplomatic corps in a flutter. At the White | House the Vicount’s arrival created more serious mneas.ness, if not absolute consternation; for, in the absence of any legally organized government in France to revoke the credentials of the new Min- tster, which are in every respect in due and proper form, how could the American government refuse to receive him officially? put as the President of the United States had directed Mr. Washburne to re- togn ize the new born republic betore it had culml- Bated into the proportions of a legalized govern- ment, thereby ignortig the existeace of any other Buthority, royal or imperial, it would have been a species of seifstultification to formally recegnize the representative of tnpertal power which he had himself provounced as defanct aud non-existing. The situation has been one of great per- plexity to the Presia@ent and his advisera, especially a8 no information had been received at the Depar ment of State tending to vitiate er annul the creden- ttals of Viscount Treilhard. Yesterday the matter Assumed such a serious aspect that in order to defer the upshot as long as possible both the Viscount and M, Bervhemy, the retiring Minister, were invited to 8 private interview with the President at the White House, which resuited in the publication of a pitiful paragraph in a morning paper attributing the Vis- couut’s visit to Washington as one of mere compli- ment to M. Berthemy. It cannot be said, with the Italan provern, ‘Se non é vero ¢ ben trovato;” for how can it be supposed for a moment that Viscount Treilhard would have undertaken such a tor- taous journey to gratify such a preposterous whim? ‘The paragraph in question nas created unbounded merriment in diplomatic circles, and every one is on the qué vive to ascertain the fivai dnouement. As a fitting corollary to this diplo- matic farce I will state that during the interview detween che President and the Freach dignitaries young Grant, who ts frequently allowed to putin an appearance, asked his father, “if there was a repub- fic in France, who was the President?” which was sonsidered the best joxe of the evening. Another Caupter in the MeGarraban Case— Bohemian Lafluence in the Iuterior Depart- ment, ‘Secretary Cox, In his letter to the President about she McGarrahan claim, alludes to a@ letter said to have been written by an attorney of the claimant to a gentleman supposed to have imiuence witn Secre- tary Cox, offering the gentleman $20,000 in stock if ae would procure favorable action itn the slaim business by the Interior Department. This part of the Cox letter has occusionea r4 of comment and much va- tlety of opinion. Perhaps the best way to doisto publish the letter itself and then give the other side, The attorney alluded to isa Mr. Clinton Rice, af this city, and the gentleman is Mr. Don Piatt, a sorrespondent of the Cincinatti!

Boson, Noy. 17, 1879. The American Tract Seciety (of Boston) has been found fo be in avery rotten condition, For some months there have been rumors of wrong doings on the part or the management, and a satisfactory ex- planation being desirable, a committee of invest! gation was appointed, and haying attended to their duties, the result was made known at a spectal meeting held in this city this forenoon. The report, after re‘erring to the orgauization of the committee, says that the workings of the Society during the eleven years of its history, since it ceased tobe a branch of the Society at New Yor! x and resumed its independent existence», ought to be known to enable the formation of sound opinions as to the causes of tts present condition, and the needs | Of its possible future, Of the Cheistiaa characier of its publications and the good thereby ac omplished nothing need be said.

The year previous tothe separation from New York the donations had been $15,206 59, to which sum donations had fallen from $29,239 63 In 1859 The first year Of separate work showed an increase of nearly $2,000; the next year more than $1,000 additional, At the date of tie meeting in 186l~var had commenced. The society appealed for heip in distributing publications in the army and avy, and was answered by an increase of nearly $19,000, nearly $15,000 of which was specially de- siguated by the donors as for army work. In 1863 the donations increased a few hundred dollars, Key. Mr. Alvord’s admirable work 12 the army, with that of others, soon became appreciated, aud 1864 showed a further increase of nearly $10,000, The war ended and donations diminished more than $7,000, although the special efforts of Congregationalists in other directions In that year probably assisted in this diminution. But at that date the work among the freedmen had assumed great importance. This Society entered zealously into that work, and the report of 1867 showed an increase of nearly $17,000, But the whole of tt dis- appeared in 1868. The freedmen’s work had lost its novelty, while others, with superior facilities, had entered into it. In .869 cojlecting agents had been withdrawn, in pursuance of the agreement tempo- the government todo so. The desire of the Secre- tary will not be gratified for this reason, and in bis report to Congress he will not be able to speak ad- visedly of the workings of the system. It is w derstood, however, that he will protest against any thaterial alteration of the law until it bas been tested, especially against releasing common carriers from the responsibility of a safe custody of goods entrusted to them.

If there it might be reasonable to discuss the political pro- priety of restoring to the Keystone State a Cabinet ofice; but that is not the way the subject 18 talked of. It seems to be the opinion of knowing ones that the President is ready to make a vacancy when the Pennsylvanians shali decide upon the man. Western Pennsylvania is opposed to Senator Cameron's tuflu- ence, and refuses to endorse the policy of the vene- able Senator. Eastern Pennsylvania republicans do not believe it to be good policy to cause disaffection in the ranks of the party; and, while all admit and realize that something must be done to keep the State intact during the next two years, the way is not so clear.

Adjourned, CHANCELLOR CROSBY'S INAUSURATION. Addresses of Welcome from the Faculty of the City of Now York—A Large Audience Honors the Occasion—The Fair Sex Smiling on the Wise Old Men—Bits of History— Alma Mater Proud of Her Sons. ‘The inauguration of the Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., a8 Chancellor of the University of the City of New York, which took place laat evening in the theatre of the Young Men’s Chnstian ' Association Building, was impressive and interesting. As is usual on occasions 10 this city when the cause of edu- cation 1s to be advanced, the audience was large, the theatre being well flea. The fair sex was brilliantly represented by many ladies well known in aristocratic circles, among them also being several of those ot repute in literature and the fine arts. At half-past seven o'clock the procession ‘was formed at the principal entrance, and then, totue music of an excellent band, a number of aged, ven- erable gentlemen, some with feebie steps and snow- white hair, proceeded down the aisle to the stage. Among them was the famed Professor Morse, the discoverer of the electric telegraph, and who, in bringing his great discovery to perfection, ‘spent many a Weary hour in one of the turrets of the University Building in Washington square. This venerable old man was the observed of all observers. There were present Henry T, Tuckerman, Professer Mairn, Professor Daniel R. Jacques, Judge Lewis B. Woodruff, Wm, Tracy, President Barnard, of Colum- bia College, ex-Chancellor Ferris, Edwin H. Owen, Benjamin H. Field, General Jehn A. Foster, Charles Boulter, Dr. William Leay, Wiliam R. Martin, Peter Cooper, William Allen Butler and Charles Tracey. Dr. Crosby occupied a seat on the left of the Chair- man, Mr. Charles Butler, who, after a prayer by ex- Chancelier Ferris, opened the proceedings by an address on behalf of the Council ef the Univer- sity. Tne University, he said, was founded in 1830, when the population of the elty wus only 200,000. ‘The city then had only Columbia College, which was partly maintained by aid of the State and partly by private benefaction, and was entirely inadequate to the educational requirements of the time. To meet the deticiency several leading citizens laid the foun- dation of the University ot the city of New York, and had it incorporated by the Legisiature BR April, 1831, It was under the control of he Mabor and Common Council of the city, and was on a@ basis altogether unsectarian. In its darkest days, from 1837 to 1840, its friends remained by It, and it stands to-day a monument to thetr energy and fidelity in the cause of education, It ind received from Rufus Andrews the sum of $100,000, and with not very much more it would be able to open its doors to all, a free iustitution, The speaker then reviewed the claims of Dr. Crosby to the honor of being the fourth Chancellor of the University, complimenting that gentle- man very highiy on his learning, Christian sympathies and zeal. He then handed to him the yesolutions of the Council appointing him Chancellor and head of the University. Dr. Crosby received the resolutions standing amid the applause of the audi- ence. Next came an adaress by Professor E. A. Jonnson, LL.D. welcoming the new Chancellor on behalf of the Faculty of Letters and Arts. He wel- comed him, he srid, to this great academic trust for the reason tat the Chancellor of the University was one of her own sons and because he knew from the great experience that Chancellor Crosby had had, in academic affairs as well as in tae broader field of ministerial labor, that the ampler scope now afforded him would redound to the ad- vantage of the university. ‘Then follewed the con- wratulations of the Faculty of Medicine, which were oitered by Professor Alfred C. Post, M. D., who spoke of the distinguished sons of the University in every walk of life, especially of Professor Morse and Professor Draper, the former of whom had given the etectric telegraph to the world and the Jatier that great blessing to the poor, the adaptation of da- guerrean art to the taking of portraits, It was also their University that first had tutroduced the ad- mirable syetem of clinical lectures within the walls of the college, a method of teaching whici has sluice been productive of so much poets Hie remembered Jue time when tt was very dificult, in fact, lliegal, ‘80 to study anatomy, for it was illegal to procure the subjects upon which to demonstrate, The credit was due to the University of inducing the Legisla- ture to aiford nag Ps Jacilities for this departinent ot medical study, though the con ession was granted only after much continuous exertion, owing to the prejudices of the people. They had iow three thou- sand graduates trom their school scattered over ail parts of the world, in Europe, Asia, Africa aud America. He trusted the University would grow apace with the growti of the city, the population of which was yet destined to be counted by millions, and tendered to the new Cnancellor the respect and welcome ot the Facuity of Me‘licine. From the Faculty of Law an address was read next by Henry KE. Davies, wiio assured the Chancellor that iu his future career as head of their institution the Facuity of the Law would ever sns:ain him in all nis efforts. Then fol. lowed the welcome of the Faculty of Science, de- livered by Professor Henry Draper, M, )., wno said thac eighteca years ago he was in the class of the Chancellor, and he belleved that in the future the retations Which had since existed betwecn them would remain unchanged. lt was plain that the world had moved around, therefore he thought the system of education which might have auswered all purposes in times gone by would not now be suitable. But it was a dimeuit matter co change the curriculum of the University, and the delicate task devolved upon the Chancellor, In this undertaking the Council would assist him with its ever generous ald, Tne University must be up with the people. If the feast were not spread the people would not come toit, There must be some- ihing wrong when a merchant would say he couid not take into his office a college boy, thought.

In speaking of the educational institutions im this country he did not think they had aitauned lvgher than the rank of colleges, The Chancellor's addr Was spirited and profound, and closed with an acknowledgment of the greeting and congratuiations he had received daring the evenin , and an wivocation to the Almighty for ald in tuis new work betore him, The proceedings closed with a benedicticn by the Rev.
