1 THIERS’ TROUBLES.) F R A N Herald Special Report from Paris, Tho Chief of the Executive Deeply Affected by the Distrust of the Assembly, RESIGN OR NOT RESIGN? ‘Patching Over the Difficulty by Duerot’s Compromise. M. THIERS CANNOT LAST LONG. Troubles Apprehended About the. Dissolu- tion of the National Guard. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO. The following despatch has been received fcota our correspondent at the gapital of France :— Paris, August 28, 1871. President Thiers was deeply moved by thd stormy scene to which his proposition for the partial disbandment of the National Guard gave rise in the Assembly last night. M, THIERS INDIGNANT. He bitterly complained to a member of the ‘Qabinet about the distrust of the Assembly Ged the fact that several measures Iately pro- flosed by him had been rejected by the majority, ‘M, THIERS UNDECIDED. Several fimes last night he rose from his seat to announce his determination to resign, but fell back again, as if he felt that his fre- quent repetition of the threat had made it tidiculons, M,. THIERS TEMPORIZING. Tossed by these violent emotions bis strength at last failed him, and he requested his friends who surrounded him to communi. cate his purpose to the Assembly; but they refused to comply, imploring M. Thiers to abandon the idea and to let matters take their course. M, Thiers seemingly consented and forbore making the announcement, M. THIERS OBTAINS A COMPROMISE. The subsequent motion of General Ducrét for the gradual disbandment of the National Guard, as a compromise between M. Thiers and the party of the Right, will, it {s thought, tide over the difficulty for the present. M. THIERS PUTS IT BLACK ON WHITE. It now even appears that M. Thiers actually wrote his resignation, but relinquished the intention of presenting it to the Assembly after the adoption by that body of General Ducrot’s amendment to the bill for the dis» armament of the National Guard. M, THIRRS CANNOT LAST LONG. The excitement shows, however, no dimi- aution, and it is generally conceded that this suspense cannot last much longer. M. Thiers is only supported by the Left Centre of the Assembly, while the majority and the extreme Left distrust him, M. THIERS TEMPORARILY SUPPORTED. The monarchical majority fears, however, Gambetta’s ascendancy, and, for this reason alone, will maintain M. Thiers in office for a little while longer, @AMBETTA MUST WAIT. Gambetta’s scheme for the dissolution of ‘the Assembly and the election of anew Cham- ter has no chance of success. The majority strongly oppose the motion. THE DISSOLUTION OF THE GUARD. It is thought that the disbandment of the National Guard will not be effected without violent resistance. In view of the appre- hended disorders the government is taking energetic measures.

Complete Returns of the Ninth Decennial Consus Completed in 1870-The Entire Populatien Under Forty Millions. After nearly a year’s labor the Census Bureau has succeeded in compiling the immense mass of figures which go to form the ninth decennial census of this country, and, so faras can be seen by the advance copy forwarded to us, it ts the most complete work of the Kind ever issued from that department. The matter occupies seventy-three octavo pages, and forms, mdeed, a formidable array of figures for the uninitiated in national sta- tistics, while it is by no means the easiest com. pllation for the most expert at figures to unravel and understand, As the matter was too volummous for our columns as originally printed we have condensed the resuit into ag simple a form as pussible, dividing the population so that the various nationalities can be seen. Although the most accurate book hitherto published there is still a difference between the figures of the divisions.and the numbers entered under the head ol “aggregate; but as if is not material we nave classed the difference thus made under the di vision headed “white,’’ itis remarkabie how flatly the notes attached to the tabies contradict previous returns, and in one mo it states that sone previous table published in lew York was ‘grossly incorrect;'’ 1t contained “typographical and other errors in nearly every county, and many returns were duplicated while others were omitted altogether,” From the following table it will be seen that while the untutored aboriginals of the soil number, but 26,684, the “Ileathen Cninee’? number 68,980 showing a steady and continued decrease in the numbers of the Indian races, In the State of California there are thirty-three resident Japanese, who are retutned with their Chinese brethren. According to the general tables the in- crease has been gradual since tne closing of the war, but there are some exceptions where the popu- lations Nave decreased very considerably. . For in- stance, the present returns for Arkansas county show that the population last year was 8,268, while in 1860 the number was 8,844; and though the war would account for the greater part of this deficiency, still there is a decrease perceptible in almost every State enumerated.

Congressman Campbell Challenges Senator Sherman to a Joint Politic: Discussion Tho Senator Dect! the Controversy. Dayton, Ohio, August 25, 1871, Hon, Lewis D. Campbell, who represents the Third Congressional district, having challenged Hon, John Sherman to a joint alscussion of the po- litical issues of the day, the Senator declines, as will be seen by the following correspondence:— HAMILTON, August 18, 187) To the Hon. Joun SHexMan, Manstield, Ohio:— DEAR SIkK—Twe years ago I reluctantly consented to be a candidate for State Senator, having been persuaded by confiding neighbors that my ex) ence in legislation would enable me to do the state some service in that position, You were not then & candidate, and your re-election to the United States Senate did not depend on the Legislature then to be elected, yet you came into my district and made speeches in doth counties assaiiing my positions, a3 you had an nnquestionable right to do; but you mise represented, unintentionally I would hope, m: opinions and my poiltcal antecedents, whic! was not yonr right, especiaily in my absenee and to audiences where I could not reply, For this unprovoked injustice | had then no remeay, You are now understood to be a candidate again, and have many appointinents to address the people of the State. In consideration of the tacts named mm the foregoing pretatory statement I am con- strained to suggest, most respectfully, that 1 would give me much satisfaction, i it would be entirely agreeable to you, to unite with you at such point as may be mutually agreed on in joint discus sion of the political issues of the day, and If you desire itn @ comparison of notes on our consis- tency, respectively, as well as the general pro- priety of our pubiic acts in times gone by. Permit me, my dear sir, to assure you that this proposition does not arise from any ostentatious, un- kind or traculent spirit. It emanates from the as- saults it Was your pleasure to make upon me, irom a desire to vindicate the rectitude o! my course, and from a belief that such discussions, conducted tn a friendly and gentlemanly manner, would furnish the best means of enlightening public opmion on the iaportant question now under consideration. As early an answer a8 may suit your convenience ts respectfully desired, Very truly yours, &c. LEWIS D. CAMPBELL, MANSFIELD, Ohio, August 21, 1871, Drar Str—Your letter of the 18th inst. was re- ceived. You invite me to arrange that we should discuss political topics at the meeting appointed for by the Kepubliican State Committee, and as a basis for yonr request state that 1 unjusily arraigned you before your neighbors in Hamilton when you were ® candidate for the State Senate. 1 am not aware that when speaking on the occa- sions referred to 1 did anything more than to comment on public and considered facts, and J certainly do not intend to and did not do you injustice; at all events you had full oppor- tunity to reply, and, as I understand, availed yourself of it, I certainly do not feel at liberty to make any arrangements in rega to meetings which I attend by sopointiaent of the State and County committee, but shall in all respects conform as to time, place and manner of meeting with the arrangements made by Mr. R. D. Harrison, as chairman of the Republican Committee. Very traly yours, JOHN SHERMAN, To Hon. L. D. CAMPBELL. HAMILTON, Ohio, August 23, 1871, To Hon, JouN SHERMAN, Manatleld, Onto:— DEAR Sin—The statement contained in yonr letter of the 2ist inst, just received, that Wifen you assailed me in 1869 [ had full opportunity to reply, &c., is very imexact. Your first attack was at Lebanon, where I did not speak during the canvas. Before you came to this city the Democratic Committee requested the committee of your party to make arrange- ments for a jolit atscussion between us, im order that might defend myself against your attack, which they declined, When you subsequently addressed the meeting here, from which I was thus excluded, your misrepresentatious were repeated. Soon alter chis a demo- cratic meeting Was held, and the only reply that I made was to stigmatize some of your statements as false, and to request your friends preseut to inform you that I had so publicly declared, ‘There is not a syllable in my letter of the 18th to you to justify you in saying that it proposed to arrange that we should debate po- litical topics at the meetings appointed by the re- publican committee. On the contrary, it explicitly Proposes such points as may be mutually agreed on, my intention being to leave it entirely to your own option to adopt all ora portion of your ‘published appointments or to make others not interfering with them. 1 jorbear on this occasion to comment on what would seem a transfer of the independence of the Senator and the citizen during a canvass involving your re-election to the control of Mr. K. D. Harrison, chairman of the republican committee, whose strategic vians will doubtless be such as to provide for a continuance of that upmanly system of warfare that attacks poliucal opponents [rom a masked battery instead of meet- ing them bravely in the open field before the people. Should you at any time during the canvass be re- leased from the acknowledged custody of Mr. Har- rison and desire to Indulge i the luxury of the tendered joint discussions you will please have the kindness to inform me. Very truly yours, &c., LOUIS 9, CAMPBELL. WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION. ‘Tho Call for a Convention Carried by a Hand- some Majerity—The Election of No Political Importance. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, August 25, 1871. Governor Jacobs, of this State, who tsa visitor here, anticipates that the call for the Convention is carried by quite a handsome majority In every Con- gressional district in the State. He says the vote will not be a political one, both the parties being divided as to the changes proposed in the consti- tution, and the election has no national pearing whatever.

The proceedings of the Newark Common Council Jast night were of an unusually exciting character, consequent on a stormy debate over the South Broad street pavement controversy. On the 14th inst. the Street Committee awarded the contract to pave this street to the Nicolson Pavement Company, at the rate of $345 per squore yard. The law required that they should award the consract to the lowest bidder, except it should appear that by so doing the interests of the city snould suffer. Eight bids lower than Nicoison were offered, but these were all ignored and the contract awarded as stated, although it did not appear that the interests of THE CITY WOULD SUFFER except by thelr own action. Mayor Ricord, in deference to public opinion, which openly denounced the contract as a “job’’ bargain, declined to sign the contract. Tnen there was war in the oMcial camp. The Mayor was denounced by the Nichoison hosts in the Coun- cil as a dictator and an arrogant usurper of power, &c. The meeuing last night was called specially to afford him an opportunity to state bis reasons for withholding his signature, Despite the inclement state of the weather [EE ATTENDANOR OF OTTIXENS was large. ie President, Alderman Baker, having received a telegram annonncing serious iliness of his father-in-law, was compelled to leave the meeting, and Alderman Westervelt occupied his place, ‘After the transaction of some routine business THE MAYOR'S STATEMENT was presented and read. His chiet objection to signing the contract was, he said, because it was not given to the lowest bidder, as by law required. A lively debate ensued, in which Aldermen West- str idtence that the presiding officer threatened to clear thetgaileries, and did cause the tment by the Chief of Police of one person. The ity Counsel submitted an opinion on the Mayor's action, which set forth that he had no discretion in the matter, but by law was compelled to sign all such contracts. Finally, on motion of Alderman Westervelt, it was resolved “That the action of the Street Committee and of the Common Council hay- ing been declared by the City Counsel to de legal, the same is hereby sustained and concurred in, and the Mayor is hereby requested and directed to execute the sald contract without further detay."’ ‘The vote was 17 to4.

TWENTY LIVES LO OTHER DISASTERS BY THE STORM, The awful hurricane which swept along the southern coast on the 16th aud 17th of tnis month naturally caused a deep feeling of anxiety as to tne fate of the many vessels trading in those waters and known to be at sea at tne time, For some days previous the weather reports told that @ fresh north wind had prevailed along the region of the Ba- bamas. On the night of the 16th this changed gra- dually to the northwest, and from ten o'clock tt blew A PERFECT HURRICANE FROM THE WEST, accompanied by torrents of rain. In this storm tt was that the stanch steamer Lodona, trading be- tween this city and New Orleans, went to pieces, with a saddening loss of life. Yesterday afternooa the following telegram was received in this city and caused a profound sensation, for on inquiry it was learned that the Lodona was Gue out several days ago, and no report had been received by the owners :— WASHINGTON, August 25, 1871. An undefined report comes from the South that the steamer Lodona, which sailed from New York August 12 for New Orleans, has been lost. Inquiries as to its truth have been forwarded to all points on the Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico, For some time the hope was indulged that as she Was @ stanch steamer although possibly blown out of her course by the hurricane she had OUTRIDDEN THE FURY OF THE WINDS and waves. Her owners, ©, H. Mallory & Co., 158 Maiden lane, were strong in this nope. She was built at Hull, England, of iron, and was 666 tons register. On the outbreak of che rebellion she had been FITTED aS A BLOCKAKE RUNNER, but in those very Southern waters which have at last borne her to destruction she was captured by a government cruiser. She had five watertight com- partments and ranked Al in Lloyd's. Before, how- ever, the inquiries set on foot by telegraph could well have reached thetr destinations THE SAD CONFIRMATION of this “undefined report” was received py Messra, Mallory in a despatch from St, Augustine, Fla. I¢ was brief, but LEFT NO AVENUB OF HOPS open; it ran as follows:— St. AUGUSTINE, August 28, 1871. ‘The Lodona was wrecked sventy-flve miles south TWENTY DROWNED. The mess-boy was picked up yesterday, who brought news of the wreck. The survivors are the captain’s son, first and second mates, the cnicf engineer, first assistant engineer, a fireman, four sallors, the head cook and the mess-boy. ‘The veasel was valued at $100,000 and her cargo at $200,000. SHE WAS COMMANDED by Captain H. Hovey, who was born and restded at Essex, Connecticut, in the homestead possessed by his family for the past century. Early in life he adopted the profession of mariner, and soon rose to command. As master of the ship Amazon, one of @ famous line of packets plying between New York and London, he acquired high reputation as a skill- ful seaman and courageous gentieman. He leaves a wife, two sons and five aaughters, The purser, Morgan, who was also among the lost, also hailed from Essex, Conn., and like him leaves a family. Among the passengers was ONE LADY, Mrs. Curoline Conway, and there would seem to be but little chance of her being among the sur- vivors, since the names of all these latter are given. There are as yet no particulars of the wreck beyond those in the short dispatch, but it is evident that even those who escaped must have UNDERGONE TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS, as they must have been at least three days at sea, or possibly shivering and starving along the bleak shores of the inhospitable coast. It is but two weeks since she sailed from pier 21 East River to brave and perish in the tornado, the full story of Whose catastrophics will, it is to be feared, reach a startling dgure, pag The Spanish Brig Lola Dismasted.

The mules were of @ good quality and were accepted by the agent. Agent Tatum then had a taik with the Indians and told them that Eagle Head, Fast Bear ana Big Bow, the chiefs who accompanied Satanta on his raid, would not be recognized as cbiefs, but they would not be arrested uniess it was ordered to be done from Washington, and pro- vided the Kiowas made no more raids, in which case those chiefs and any others who engagea in the raids would be arrested ri by civiilaw. No chief hereafter engaged ‘ald would be recognized as a chief; but Kick- ing Bird and Pacer would be called upon to noml- nate their successors, who, if approved by tho agent, would then be recognized aa chiefs, He assured ‘them the whites desired to live at peace with the Indians, and pointed out the advantages the latter would derive from being at peace, Kick+ ing Bird, in behalf of the Kiowas, replied:— re _mant to cease raiding and depredating on the white le Fess See Bereariee to A. om, the ezazan of wee Codso we lor ‘on the white roa widenee “ot our good fatentions wef AMUSEMENTS. Frera AVENUS THEATRR.—Mr. Daly will begign his third season at the Fifth Avenue Theatre ou tn@ 5th of September, The seven weeks’ recess hy been employed in refreshening and repatnting ai otherwise beautifying the house—that is, if anys thing could be done to improve a theatre already one of the most elegant piaces of amusement tn the United States, Still the Aadituées of thia “jewor box,’?as Mr. Daly's superb boudoir of Thalla bas come to be called, will find it newly and richly rev carpeted, some new upholsteries and oruamental screens added to the Parisian boxes, making then now more private and inviting than ever for the hautton, and the interlor otherwise renewed~ although it appears like painting the ly or gtiding refined gold to touch the place at all, The company which Mr. Daly has gathered for nis new season will be found, we believe, to be a phenomenally strong and complete comedy organization, As in previoud years the Fifth Avenue will be remarkable for ite handsome ladies and accomplished actresses, roy talning, 48 it does, upon its roll Miss Fanny Daven= port, Miss Clara Morris, Miss Linda Dietz, Miss Kate Newton—a@ quartet of beauty and talent perfectly crowned when we name Miss Fanny Morant aud Mrs. G, H, Gilbert as also of the list. Tius noble list will be increased by the addition of three graces who will make their début in. New York— Miss y Cary (late the pet of the Giobe Theatre, Boston), Miss Ida Yearance a local debutante, and Miss Marian Fane, an Eng beauty from the Lone don Cour Theaire; Miss le Mortliner, Miss Kate Claxton, Miss GriMtns and Miss Kate Firmin come plete the directory @ ladies for the season, Of the gentlemen we believe particular hopes may be formed; for Mr, Daly has made his collection frous the far East and far West as well as due South, To give the new comers the firs lace of welcome we have the names of Mr. W. de Lemoyne, Whose reputation as a clutravter artist 1m the eccentric roles of comedy and drama is of me highest order; Mr. G. fH. Gridiths, who wil divide the honors with Mr. Davidge, we fancy; Mr. Louis James, a handsome young actor, educated in Phila deiphia’s best comedy school, the Arch Street Theatre; Mr. Henry Crisp, another young gentle man of exceilent reputation, from the Bostom Museum, and Mr. Owen Fawcett, a young comediam Who travels in no one else’s footsteps, but has *@ Way” of his own. In addition to this fine jist Mr Daly has retained that noble cluster of favorites Who have been so popmar under his management from the first night he opened, Mr. James Lewis, Who seems to have been created for the Filth Avenue Theatre and the theatre created for him; Mr, D. He Harkins, he ot the manly bearing and the nobie voice; the unapproachabie Mr. W. Davidge, and Mr. George vere, Mr, DD, Whiting, Mr. 3. Burnett, Mr. E. Pierce, Mr. F, Chapman and Mr. W. Beekman finish the rove. ‘Mr, Johu Moore has been engaged for prompter, while the working lorce of the stage business remains, as before, under the charge of Mr. William Kelly, and the treasury wl be presided over by Mr. A. Appleton. Mr. James Roberts (incomparable among scente artisis) of course retains his hold and mastery, The orchestra will be under the direction of Mr. Robert Stoepel, who retains, of course, the very popular Signor Pado~ vannl, Whose violin solos during the past season were so continuously encored, With this brilliant company, therefore, Mr. Daly ts to make his first move upon the dramatic cheasboara in the new ame (or the next season) on the Sth of Septem- Fer—mo Plan of which {uciudes quite a number of Interesting surprises, The programme of novelties promises 8 @ Dumber of those new Parisian comedies and dramas for which Mr. Daly had contracted d& rectly with the French authors previous tothe down fall of the empire, and which the recent war cut hina of from receiving. Two of these plays—the first a brillant work by Melinac and Halevy, who wrote “Frou-Frou,” and the other @ most trresistibl comedy by Sardou—wil! be placed tn early prepal tion, Besides these we are to have twu comedl by American authors. One of these 1s by Miss Oltve Logan, and the other ts by a brilliant native writer whom the success of “Saratoga” brought to the surface. Among the worthy events of the coming season, too, We may mention the debut of a very prominent lady of New York fashionable circles, Whose performancea in private theatricals las winter created a deal of excitement. This glimpse of the programme 1s sufficient, we think, to show that wo shall have a lively succession of varieties and novelties at the Fifth Avenue for the season of 1871-2 which, by the way, is to be inaugurated by the pro- duction of a remarkable new play of American so- ciety and of vital local interest, from the pen of Mr. Augustin Dal Mr. Roberts has been nearly three mouths at work on the scenery for it. 1S COAST.
