Polidied and Political Economy of the French Republic, —+ —_—. THE NEW LOAN. France Arming for a New Strug- gle with Germany. o——_,—____ AN END TO THE POLICY OF VENGEANCE, M. Gambetta Preparing to Male a Speech. DEMONSTRATION AMONG THE RADICALS, Panis, July 10, 1872, France is, in a quiet way, solving many problems. We have had a“sityation” here, and almost “a crisis.” For the last twenty-four hours there has deen unusaal excitement around the cafés and Boulevards. Would Thiers unite with the Left or with the Right? Had he really given McMahon a congé to St. Malof Would he permit him to be Vice President or not, or, indeed, anybody to be Vice President? These are the questions that now animate the French mind. Any one of them would _ de suMcient to develop 4 situation—as serious as any that has ever menaced the famous and venera- bie statesman now at the head of the government; bnt itso happens that every question hereds merged into the great absorbing nationai duty of freeing the soil from the presence of the foreigner. But for this conservative circamnambrient force the politics of France would fy into a hundrod fragments, for here remain all the conditions which in other years made the history of France so dramatic and terrible. The Commune is dead, and every fow days a poor miserable Frenchman is tied toa post at fetory and ‘fusiladed;” but the spirit of the vommune still lives, and seeks activity to be- come a giant or a monster, a8 you would have it. Strange as it may seem you cannot kill the Com- mune by tying a Frenchman to a post and shooting him. Every execution only stimulates the wrath of the men, who feel that whatever crimes were com- mitted in Paris during the Commune were more than punished by the wholesale street massacres that attended the entrance of the Versailles troops. And there ts a feeling steadily growing to the effect that no good purpose can be served by shooting criminals now for political offences | committed a year or two ago. There is another feeling also, that the commission which tries and condemns these Communists is actuated by mo- tives that have no longer any Ufe in France. The tribunal is composed of Bonapartist partisans—of mén who are known tobe devoted to the House of Bonaparte—and in some of their judgments they have executed the decrees of their imperial master. Take the caze of M. Kochefort. Rocheforte is a bril- lant, foolish, light-weighted Frenchman of the school of Camille Deamoulins, without the chara ter or the courage of Camille, who showed in Com- mune times that he wanted nerve as well as char- acter. He wae an incident in the revolution—the fly on the wheel, which only buzzed. He took no part in the Commune, except to censure the meas- ures of the leaders. But it was remembered that he had written the Lanterne; that he had contributed in a remarkable degree to the overthrow of the Empire, and for this he was punished as severely as the men who directed the burning of the palaces. Whatever may be thought ef the character or the deeds of M. Rochefort—and I fancy there will be no difficulty in forming an opinion—the immor- ality of bis sentence has made a painful impression ppon France. He was tried upon one charge, found guilty upon another, and sentenced simply because he wrote a series of libels upon Louis Napoleon, | ‘M. Thiers hae done what he could to remedy the | injustice by commuting the sentence to banish- ment, and M. Rochefort will probably convey him- | gelf to Belgium or England, and make himself felt upon French politics, as Victor Hugo and Louis Bisuc did during the Empire. ‘ RADICAL DEMONSTRATIONS, | Saturday will be the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile, and there is to be a grand dinner to M. Gambetta. The circumstance attracts attention here, as the advisability of dinners or festivities or demonstrations of any kind is gravely questioned by even the most radical republicans. The purpose of this banquet is, of course, political. M. Gambetta fs the leader of the republican party, or rather of that section of the Assembly that approaches to what was known as “The Mountain” in Robes- pierre’s time. So far as the elections are any test of public opinion, this party gains strength every day. It is thought that a series of demonstrations upon public opinion and of appeals to the repubil- can sentiment might lead to a political movement that would make the republic an assured fact. The danger of these demonstrations, however, is that until the Prussians are coaxed and purchased out of France there can be no healthy political action. So a as Germany has her heel upon France she will take the occasion of an, litical demonstra- tion tn favor of a more advanced republic than what ia now furnished by M. Thiers to throw ob- stacies in the way of peace and the enfranchise- ent of French territory. The interest of Ger- many after the receipt of hier indemnity is that there shall be no republican government upon her fron- tier. Itis generally believed that Bismarck’s councils had any influence upon France, he would suggest the recall of Napoleon. Napoleon's empire would be the most satisfactory form of government ray pel tpn 3 A and I have no doubt that were he to recalled he could induce Bismarck to lessen the indemnity. Napotconism now is certainly peace, for Napoleonized France would be an enemy too contemptible for even anxiety upon the part of Germany. The agitation of any ta question now that tends to the election of any dynasty or changing the form of government is discouraged by all patriotic Frenchmen. Nor will any demon- stration in favor of M. Gambetta be permitted to run wild, That impetuous Italian with his elo- quence of passion, warm with the sun of the Medi- terranean, has acool, well-governed, eminently politic brain. He will do nothing and say nothit vo disturb any party or lead his followers to acts 0! indiscretion, So far from the banquet being o serious political movement like the banquets of the time of Louts Philippe, it will be a harmless eating and talking affair, like that given to Disracii at the Crystal Palace the other day, when he babbled so prettily about ‘the sublme instincts of an ancient people.” THE NEW LOAN AND THE VACATION, The hope wae that the Assembly would adjourn before the end of thismonth. Vacation was fixed Now, however, there is a rumor, said a}, that the session will continue Into August, ‘the new loan must be under way, the plans all matared, and the revenues purchased out ‘of the Departments of Marine and Haut Marine, | ‘Then comes the Military bill, which is awaiting a third reading. A Council of State is needed to ad- vise with M. Thiers, as well as what is called a Cont mittee of Perman —a body whose duties are not defined, and these must ve appointed.

And it was hoped Bis k would remember the incident. So when the aty was published and it was found that it abated nothing in severity; that even when withdrawing from the departivents to be soon evacuated the German army would be in force in the final departments, and so held until every dol- lar was paid with interest, there was an outburst of impatieuee, not unlike despair, and of anger with Thiers, who it was felt might in some way have melted the stony &eart of Germany. So when the report was voted there was no compliment to ‘Thiers, as was expected and, in fact, was custom- ary—only a eoloricss report from the’Due de Brog- lie and a silent unanimous vote fram the Assembly. THE RELATIONS OF FRANCE AND GERMANY, The meanjng of the German treaty ue that Bis- marck does bot belleve in sentimental giplomacy— at least with France. This granite statesinan, with his clear, brutai, sensible Insight, looks upon the natural relutions between France and Gerimany as relations of war. For two thousand ze rat he thinks, the &hine and the Low Countries have been the scenes of continual and persistent strifes, At one time it was the savage tribes who wandered over the German and French plains, ‘Then came the mediwyal strifes, only to be followed by Charle- magne and Louis XIV., Frederick and Napoleon. Therefore, Napoleon was a fool, when he had his foot upon the neck of Prussia, not to have crushed the monarchy, and Wil- liam would be a fool to imitate his example. So he holds to the treaty, and no doubt regrets that he did not make it more strenuous, Hemeant to reduce France into the ranks of the second-class Powers; to make it even as Spain and Italy ; to com- pel such a system of taxation as would necessarily old. it in bonds to keep the peace. Bismarck’s whole diplomatic policy never concealed this urpose or thrown the least shadow upon it. He fas no confidence in France as & nation of peace, or in any real peace between the two nations. M, Thiers excites his peepest because he pays him money, and M, Thiers f@ great improvement on Gambetta. He would prolong the teins of the Ger- man Legislature were it possible. Anda close read- ing of the treaty, as signed by Count Arnim, shows that the Germans can, if they choose, prolong the occupation of the provinces until Ist4, whether the indemnity ig paid or not, ‘This alternative has dis- Sppolnte the French, The Germans mean to hold the provinces adjoining their boundary until they have fortified Metz and Strasburg. The work of fortification proceeds with great energy. In addi- tion to this alternative of remaining until they are ready to go, the Germans also insist upon keeping up their army of occupation to the full contingent. They now have 60,000 men in France, and no matter how mi departments they occupy they mean to keep 50,000 men under arms until the indemnity is paid. This contingent is no expense to Germany, or the French must support the army of occupation, FRANCE PREPARING FOR WAR. Although the French sense of magnanimity and dramatic forgiveness—as seen in the worship of glory and pulling down war columns and placards of devotion to brotherhood and equality—was offended by the stern, unbending terms of Germany, the insisting upon the last burden upon France, i am not sure but that the people are more satistied asitis, The war between France and Germany is not at an end, There has been no peace, only an adjournment of hostilities, No fact is more evident than thi ‘The one idea that controls the French mind is “the settlement of accounts with Germany.’?

The circular referred to adds, that “as it is of the utmost importance that definito rules should be established, governing the qualifioations of amateurs and boat racing,” each club should make special effort to be represented, and as the Conven- tion is to be what it purports, strictly of an “‘ama- teur” nature, such delegates shouid be sent as can fully accord with the sentiment of the majority | of amateur oarsmen. The signatures to the circu- lar, besides that of Mr, James Watson, of New York, owing to whose zeal the matter has thus far suc- cessfully progressed, represent filty-seven amateur clubs, among them being James H. Shorter, Chatta- hoochee Club, Columbus, Ga. ; George F. Henry, Gris- wold College Club, Davenport, lowa; C. N. i | Argonaut Club, Marquette, Mich. Frank W.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. | Poor Father Thiers took another step in his labors | of Hercules—in the introduction of his new-born Dill. This ts an act directing the Issue of a loan for | $600,000,000, You have the declaratory act eise- where. The terms of the loan have not been deter- mined upon, but no one anticipates that they will be as advantageous to outsiders as the last loan, When that loan was planned you wil! remember that France was fresh from the bioody hands of the Commune, and there was a shock to the national credit which made even the most sanguine believ- era in France and her resources sceptical, Accord- ingly, all kinds of inducements were offered to make the security attractive. ever, that the patriotism of this intensely patriotic people was ready to give its money for tlie national onor, and the loan was subscribed inaday. Had it been as large again—nay, had Thiers asked for the $1,000,000,000 owing to Germany—France would have paid it. In arranging the new loan there will not be so many inducements oifered to the people as inthe last. France naturally wants her money upon as easy terms as possible, and as the money lenders desire as good terms as they had from America during our troubles, a systematic effort is making to depreciate French credit and ve @ little larger commission to Lombard street. rench financial credit has always stood excep- tionably high. There is a lesson in this which Amer- icans should study, No matter who rutes France, the Cerst fp tad and protects its obligations. The Grand Book of France is a sacred record— whether the hand that inscribes the obligations upon it is that of Robespierre or Bonaparte, Bour- bons or Orleans, Gambetta or Thiers. In this coun- try no one discusses the credit. There are no stim- ulating debates upon re ation or taxing bonds or paying interest currency. This ingenious and giited people, fruitful in theories and strange hilosophies, generating Rousseau and Fourier and Proudhon, and all manner of economical and social fantasies, and quite capable of disturbing the equi- librium of a Church or a State—nevertneless pro- tects its commercial honor with sacred, jealous en- thusiasm. So when France needs money she finds the money markets of the world open to her, while we, with infinitely more resources, more wealth now and the certainty of more in the future, with asmaller and diminishing debt, are compelied to pay more interest and to borrow upon terms as onerous as are exacted from Russia and Turkey, TAXATION AND TARIFF. The discussion upon the new loan will commence anew, The main business of the Assembly has been to prepare for itin the arrangement axes, In this most diMeult and experimental France has had to stand alone: and the countries around her have thrown every obstacle in the way. England, Belgivin, Germany and Switzerland have gamed largely from the commercial freedom bestowed by France. Now, when the necessity of enormous revenues presses upon France to pay the interest and the debt, an it is Incumbent upon the government to tax ever thing that will stand @ tax, the other nations ol ngland, for instance, which stood by and ‘ance punished by Germany without saying a whose influence did not save France a if she had any, were Ger- by whose side she fought so bravely Crimea, in a war which was mainly for the welfare ngiand’s Indian possessions and to secure her supremacy in Asia, should break @ treaty which has added go largely to the value of British com- Because ‘ance must pay the intercst hor debt, and find the means in a tari? of heavy duties, England feels that she is receiving some injury. The whole tone of English sentiment is unpleasant, and might be considered brutal Were it not that Englishmen are generally brutal when they simply mean to be earnest aud friendly, I should not be surprised if the spirit shown in the discussions of the French tariffin the English press were to alienate the two countries, and revive the old feelings of animosity and rivalry which generated Blenheim and Water- loo, Nothing could well be more ungenerous than the tone of the English press, M.

Will Dr. Russell Withers, stroke of the Interna- tional Atalanta four, accept Deeley’s shell race challenge ? Leo Schwab is training fora race. He defeated Charles Roman at Martha's Vineyard a short time | since, and last year rowed a match with George Williams, of Columbia College, on the Harlem. Other efforts of his have been creditable. Last Saturday there were merry times on the Hudson off the Elysian Fields, Three boat races took place, and the gathering on shore to witness them was quite creditable, First of these was an ae match in working boats, between C. J. McKenzie and John Tully; but John wasn't much of a puller, and came out a bad second. The next Tace, intended to be between the Gulicks aud Atlantic Club, of Hobo- ken; but as the latter ran short of men and the Gulicks having more than were wanted, they loaned the Atlantics enough to make a crew. The tide was ebb and a fresh breeze ruffed the surface of the river. At 5:54 word was given to be away, and, afteran exciting contest, the Gulicks proved the victors in 21:30, beating the Atlantica by about one length. This event Va the crowd in grand good humor, and they were fully prepared for the last exhibition of the day. This was between James Carson and David Fletcher, in working boats, distance three miles, for $60 side, They got away nicely, but Carson won the race in style in 33 minutes.

T left Paris by the night train for Havre, in order to be at the regatta which was to come off yester- day at the latter place. Extending myself on one of the seats of a first-class compartment, witha small travelling bag under my head, I prepared for a comfortable nap during the five hours I snould be | en route, and was almost instantty wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, dreaming I was wrapped in the arms of somebody else. Fate, however, prob- ably thinking I was unworthy of such felicity, de- cided that Iwas not to have much sleep that night, and accortingly my slumbers were soon interrupted by people getting into the train; first by a lady, who with a number of bandboxes and small parcels soon occupied all the space not already taken pos- session of by myself, and then by a choleric old gen- tleman who intimated in very strong language that I was an impoli in not getting up and making room for him even before he got into the carriage, which imputation I bore with becoming meckness, I had just got comfortably fixed again when I was once more aroused by a large fat man, with a red face, puffing and blowing, who was evidently ina very bad humor, for he had no sooner found a place and taken his seat than he stuck his head out of the window and bawiled out after some one whom I could not see in the lamplight, “Vous étes un imbdécile, Monsteur; voila tout ce gue fai a vous dire,” to which the lamplight replied something about people not being allowed to take doga-on the train without paying for them, in answer to which our new travelling companion yelled back that if that was their republic he had had enough of it to last him all his life. I was at a loss to quite perceive the logical sequence between taking dogs on trains and the existence of the republic, and was about to ask him in what way the two ideas might be con- nected, when I was prevented by the choleric old gentleman requesting him, in no very soft tone, to shut the window. The other looked at him, and, assuming & highly indignant air, informed him he woud do as he pleased about It, intimating that he in- tended to keep the window open. ‘sais, Monsieur,” insisted the elderly gentleman, “I have a weak chest and I shall take cold if the window remains open.” “kt mot aussi,” replied the fat man, “I have a sore throat and shall take cold with the win- dow shut.” Thereupon tiey commenced quarrel- ling in a way that was exceedingly amusing. The elderly man said it was an outrage; to which the fat man replied that he woud not be suffocated for all the fools in the world, ‘Mais, Monsieur,” said the other, bristling up and looking threatening. “Monsieur,” replied his adversary, likewise assum- ing a threatening attitude. ‘‘Monsiewr,” again re- peated the first. ‘Monsieur,’ answered the other; and so they went on for at least a minute repeating the word ‘“Monsiewr,"’ simply that and nothing more; gesticulating violently and getting their faces nearer each other until they buth rose to their feet, apparently with the intention of seiz- ing each other by the throat, both still crying, “Monsieur!” until the lady, concluding they were really going to fight, threw herself between them and commenced crying, ‘Messieurs!’’ when they suddenly subsided. The old gentleman now drew his cloak about his shoulders and com- menced shivering and muttering to himself, while the fat man threw open his coat and waistcoat, loosened his cravat and commenced fanning him- seif, as though he was on the point of suffocation, and the contrast thus presented by the two men was most ridiculous, although neither of them seemed to be aware of the absurdity of the position. “Out, ele est jolie votre république !” at last re- marked the fat man, ance not my republic,” replied the other, with choler. “Well, you are @ legitimist, and it ail comes to the same thing,” said the fat man, whereupon they commenced quarreling about politics, and kept it up all night, to my infinite amusement and the great terror of the lady, who thou throw herself between them. s to prevent a collision, The F usually so gay and light-hearted, si come greatly soured by adversi now ready to quarrel with anybody or band lca upon the slightest provocation—a fact whieh will be remarked by any one who has lately been resid. ing in France. We ARRIVED AT HAVRE in: the early morning, and I immediately com, menced trying to get some information as to the hour fixed for the regatta, Idid not succeed very well, for nobody in the hotels seemed’ to know there was a regatia. Not even in the Hotel Fras- cati, overlooking the Bay, could L get any inorma- tion about it, so little do theso people seem to know of what Is golng on around them. Here is an event of which some thousands of people in both hemispheres will be talking, and yet the People of Havre, who should be the most interested in it, do not even know of its occurrence, Finding that I could get no information in the town, I walked down to the beach to see if L would fare better with the watermen, and soon had the Livonia and Tona, Mr. Ashbury’s yachts, -and the Krtembilda, the beantifal little cutter of Count Baitinyan., ponted out fo me, The Sappho had not yet come in, but a sail thay Gad {at appeared on the horizon was thought to be she—a supposition which proved to be correct, a8 we were soon able to make out, with the aid of a glass, the American flag she carried fluttering in the breeze. She came into the bay under a ligut wind, which with her immense mainsail drove her rapidly along, and dropped anchor about @ milo trow the shore. I learned from the watermen that eleven boats were entered, and that the start would be at three o'clock. but was disappointed | although strenuous efforts | Surgeon Brady, ex-Poi Surgeon North oad | M.

Besides, as is well known, the members of the American yacht club have all agreed to never run against Mr, pebery or his boats or to have anything to do with him. ‘The circumstances of Mr, Ashbury’s defeat by American boats, hi charges against the American club and the conse- quent misunderstanding that ensued are well known to the readers of the HeraLp, Suftice it to say that Mr, Ashbury seems, by his course in that matter, to have incurred the dislike of the whole yachting world, In England as well as in America, and that the Americans have with ‘ord agreed to cut him. A good deal of dis- appointment was expressed anong the French when it was learned that the Sappho would not take part in the regatta, us it evident Mr. Ashbury would take one prize at least, the Livonia having no schooner against her but the little Syrene, a French boat of about twenty-five tons, and that the other prize would le between the Tona, Mr. Ashbury’s cutter, and the Kriemhilda, an English cutter belonging to Count Batthyant, and they did not like to see an Englishman carry off both prizes, WHY COMMODORE DOUGLAS REFUSED TO RACE. Mr. Douglas, however, refused to satl, as it would have been virtually & race between himself and Mr. Ashbury, with whom he declines to nave anything todo. The weather during the early of the day was perfectly calm, and even up to the last mo- ment it seemed doubtful whether the Livonia, the heaviest boat, would find wind enough to fill her sails, The time for the start was fixed at three o'clock, but it was half-past three when the signal fibre Sed. Just got ye uae howgyor, & rung up, e ten boats, unfurli their wings like sva birds and ” sg STARTING OFF ON THE RACR, were soon far out tosea, The Iona got the start. and for some minutes seemed to leave the Livonia and Kriemhilda far behind. As to the French boats, it was evident from the first moment that they were not in the race, and no one id any fur- ther attention to them, ‘ihe feet hag been off ten minutes, or what seemed to be about that length of time, for the Iona appeared to be about two miles out to sea, closely cnased by the Kriemhilda and the Livonia, when the Sappho suddenly com- menced showing signs of life. TEN MINUTES LATER THE SAPPHO STARTED. Up to that moment she had been lying, to tho front disappointment of the lookers-on, with her ead to the wind, her great mainsail, the only one she had up, flapping oy, to and fro, as if the regatta were a matter Of the least concern to her, when suddenly she commenced turning around and fell in belore the wind. Up went the foresail, the staysail, jib, ing jib, maintopsall and toretop- sail, aud the pho, throwing up her head as if smelling the chase, was olf like a racehorse, ca- reening over under the breeze until her taffrail almost touched the water and tossing the foam over her decks as if joy. It was delightful to she leaped through the waves, especial, soon began to grow exciting, The littie Fret cutters were all dropped astern one aiter anothér, we leaving them to windward in order to not Inter- fere with them, except the poor littie Syrene, which was laboring along nearly a mile behind the others and far to leeward. 1t soon became evident that we were gaining on the Livonia, which had re- gained the time lost‘on starting and was now dis- tancing the others, and that we were running nearly twice as fast as the Iona and the Kriemhilda, which boats we were RAPIDLY OVERHAULING The Kriemhilda had been gaining on the Iona, and was now even with her and running alongside at the distance of about a quarter o: a mile. We passed her a few cables to leeward, her gentle- manly commander, Count Batthyani, saluting as we deragloa which salute we returned with interest; ut we went by her so rapidly that she scarcely seemed moving at all, and ina few minutes we had left her and the Iona far astern, ‘Ihey evi- dently saw what we were aiming at, and kept watching our movements and those of the Livonia closely. It wasnow about hal.-past four o'clock, and the race lay between the Livonia and Sappho, but the latter, without putting out another inch of canvas except the ordinary cruising sails, kept on gaining rapidly. 4 ‘THE LIVONIA CROWDS ON SAIL. The Livonia threw out her spanker and crowded on every available bit of canvas, but it would not do.. The Sappho kept gaining, passed her at last, showed her a clean pair of ae) left her about a mile and a hali astern, then suddenly lutfed, CROSSED HER BOWS, came back on her windward quarter (wo could easily have sailed around her again) and so re- turned to Havre. It was about five o'clock when the Sappho crossed the Livonia’s bows, so that counting the time lost in starting—about ten min- utes—she had, in an hour and a halt, gained more than the-time aecorded-tho Livonia for ditrerence in tonnage (twelve minutes) in a tweuty-four’s race, AFTER BEATING THE LIVONIA. There fell a dead calm about sundown, and the Sappho, suddenly grown lifeless, lay almost motion- less, there Hein scarcely a ripple to disturb the glassy surface of the water. We dined, and ‘after- wards smoked our cigars on deck, enjoying the soft airot the evening, which was delicious, and wondering which of the boats now had the lead. It was very probable that during this time the cuttera would creep upon the schooner, as the lightest breath of air would suffice to move them, and this seems to have been the case, as it afterwards turned out. THE KRIEMHILDA FIRST HOME, A light breeze sprung up about nine o'clock, which wafted us gat into harbor, where we dropped anchor and then went to bed to await the arrival of the fleet on the return voyage. The Kriemhilda and Iona hove in sight about eleven o’clock next morning, the former taking the lead, but the Livonia had not xo appeared at noon. She hove in sight soon after, however, and the three vessels passed the stakeboat within a few minutes of each other, the Kriemhilda stiil leading, the fona next and THR LIVONIA LAST. The Iona won by forty-two seconds, owing to the time allowance, and the Livonia won easily the second prize, having only the little Syrene to con- tend against, which boat will probably get in some time next week. MR, ASHBURY’S VICTORY. Mr. Ashbury has thus won both prizes, though I should think his. victory was embittered by the trick the Sappho played him right before the whole French fleet, especially as the Frenchmen onder- stood perfectly that Commodore Douglas did it to show the superiority of the Sappho over the Livonia and his contempt for Ashbury. Regrets were expressed on all hands that the Guinevere did not enter the lists, as an exciting race was looked for between the two reported fastest yachts in the world. MR. DOUGLAS’ DESIRE. Mr. Douglas wishes to sail against the Guinevere, Will the owner of that boat accept the challenge ? THE ASSAULT UPON ALDERMAN M’MULLIN. MitrorD, Pike county, Pa., July 26, 1872, To THR Epirok OF THE HERALD:— Your editorial comments upon the attempted as- sassination of Alderman McMullin, ot Philadelphia, are, I think, not only unjust to the intended victim of this murderous assault, and not sustained by the truth, but they are also at variance with the facts connected with the history of the Moyamen- sing Hose Company, as detailed by your own cor- respondent in another part of the same issue of Joly 24. This historical sketch most clearly exhibits the truth, so generally understood in Philadelphia, that the progress of the Moyamensing Hose Company from lawlessness, riot and anarchy to obedience to law, dis:ipline and good order, is chiefly, if not altogether, the result of the unfalter- ing efforts and the personal influence of Alderman McMullin, and no other man could have accom- plished what he has done. This being the unde- niable truth, your reflections upon the career of the Alderman, as having arrived at power and political influence from low and humble beginnings, and your sheers at him as a “gutter politician,” are’ not only cruel and ungenerous, but caiculated to exert an evil influence upon the class from which you describe the Alderman as having arisen. If, living in the midst of social dis- order, surrounded by turbulent and unruly assoct- ates, with none of the refining influences of educa- ‘| tion and high social position to improve him, he yet exerts such powers as he possesses on the side of peace ang good order, it would seem to me that his merit is greatly enhanced by those circumstances, and auy Jeers at his lowly origin can have no other effect than to dishearten the men who might be en- couraged to imitate him, The real fact is as above stated. The Alder. man himself, 2 man of great physical strength and unflinching courage, has always been relied w in moments of danger, excitement and of public terror as’ a peacemaker, And not in vain, forl have seen bim in his chosen role on all sorts of occasions when, sometimes, the cheek of the bravest would bianch at the sight of the “little man” going into a gang of roughs, crazy with whiskey or partisan rage, and, taking some Heren- lean Vig (gone by the neck, leading him out like a lamb A not less than for his high courage is he beloved hy the humble people arsue? him, and re- spected by ail who know him truly for his charity, his kindness to the sick and heipless and his faltn- ful devotion to his Chureh and _ people; and in this supreme moment of bis fate, when the hearts of anxious thousands are turning towards that couch of py eek cannot realise that any one should prefer to recall the errors of early manhood, or the fquits of an untaught and undiscipimed boy- hood.

Bushnell was sworn and testified:—I am Director of the Union Pacific Railroad Company; remember a suit brought against the company by Fisk; that Was in July, 1868; remember a suit im March, 1869; was present at the election on the 10th. of March, 1869; as the polls were épened the Sheri’ with a posse, appeared and served an injunctiong cannot say how many. votes h d been cast; some: thing over nine hundred miles of the road were then constructed, and over one thom sand miles were under contract; the length of the road was one thousand and sixty or one thousand and thirty miles; the company was im good financial condition, selling bonds at 102; the money to construct the road was raised by selling’ bonds, which was done at 20 Nassau street; red member the order issued by Judge Barnard ap. Pointing Tweed receiver; also one directing the Safe to be opened; was present when the proceeds ings to open the safe took place; the Sherif and his’ assistants attempted with sledges, &c., to open the safe, but failed after several hours; then he sent for. the manufacturer, and with a large force, an@ finally, with another day's work, it was opened; the practical effect of these orders damaged us millions of dollars; it reduced the price of our bonds) from 102 to 65; we suffered a loss twiow as great on land grant bonds; this loss; immediately followed the issue of the orders;! there were two or three millions in bonds’ im the safe; on intimation of the proceedings, the: oficers and clerks took them away and secured’ them. Personally knew Fisk; had conversation, with him in the latter part of June, 1868; it was before the suit was commenced, and when: he! threatened to commence the suit; think there wag an order to show.cause why the Injunction shoulg: not issue, and thinkit was by Judge Barnard;' next evening or the same evening I had 4 CONVERSATION WITH FISK about the suit atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr, Parsons, examining counsel, asked witness whether anything was said in that conversation about ap- pointing a receiver. Mr, Beach objected, on the ground that unless there was positive proof that there was a conspi- racy between Barnard and Fisk this evidence waa: not admissible. If it was proved that there was a’ conspiracy then the declaration by one of the : ties to the conspiracy would be admissible, bat taere is not a particle of proof of conspiracy. Mr. Parsons replied that the prosecution had shown by the intimacy betweon Barnard and Fisk: that there was cause to believe there was a con- spiracy. Besides it was proper to show that whem there was no good cause for a receiver the in- ference from such an appolutment was that there ‘was a conspiracy. Mr. Beach responded that if there were biack- mailing suits in New York connected with railway, companies, and he would not say there were not, it was not proper to say that Ju Barnard anything to do with them without proof. 1t was clear that there was just cause in the allegatioi for Judge Barnard to issue these orders, and should not be held responsible for what pe ht say in the streets. ‘The Chair ruled that the evidence was competent,’ ‘as much similar evidence had been taken. ope pest se abe sud gaat of the whioh Ju r thought quite proper, .and Chair put 1 anion to the Court, Petar the okt Jevtwas decided in the amrmat! 10, mays, was deci a irmative—yeas Witness was then asked if ‘ WHEN TWEED BECAME RECEIVER, and answered, it was six or eight months after. H4 - was then asked if he knew of she payment of ang money by the Union Pacitic Rail Company te: prevent the aj intment of a receiver, Beach objected, unless it could be shown whether Parsons replied that it was not ns re was not nec to that Barnard received any of this money; tee} asked to show how much was the loss of the Uniom Pacific Railroad Company by Barnard’s action. Mr. Beach replied that counsel knew that thera was no evidence; there could be no evidence to, show that one cent of this money went to Ju Barnard. He said the question had just been cided by the Court that acts ana conversations outside parties could not be made to affect Ju Barnard as to injury inflicted by Barnard’s orders.: The payment of this money was not legitimately loss to the company, it wasa bribe to upset the action of a Court. After explanation that this evidence was inad- missable under the vote this morning, counsel withdrew the question. ‘Witness then went on to state that the company was nding $100,000 a day at the time the ordera were issued in the construction of the road, Mr. Parsons asked what the company did con- cerning these orders to protect themselves t Mr. Beach objected on the ground that it was contrary to the ed of the Court, but subse, quently withdrew the objection. Witness then said all he knew of the action was that wey a detectives, who reported dally during the month of. nae tet pets employment continued from thirty to sixty days. Grosy-examined by Mr. Beach—I was present every day during the proceedings, but don’t re- member Mr. ‘Tweed, as receiver, APPLYING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTE prior to the opening of the safe; he may have made a demand in one of the other rooms; don’t remem- ber the Sherif demanding the combination of the safe; remember it being said that Mr. Ham had the combination, and he was in New Jersey; Mr. Ham. was not sent to New Jersey with the combination of the safe in his posses- sion; he was the auditor and custodian of the roperty; his duties required his daily atten- ance at his office; he was absent four to six weeks; don't remember — any, action commenced in Pennsylvania against the Crédit Mobille, prior to these suits; about this time there were in the public papera many scandalous charges about the @@imietion ef the Union Pacific Railroad with the Crédit Mo bilier; [judge that the depreciation of the value of the bonds was caused by these orders, because they commenced to decline on that very day ; don't know of any other cause; my opinion is based on the simultancous occurrences; don’t know of any hearing on the order to show cause why the order of injunction should not issue. To Mr. Parsons—There were no scandals respect- ing the management of the company prior to the commencement of Fisk's suits; there were no trouble in them; we were unable to borrow money on onr securities, owing to these suits, ‘Yo Mr. Beach—Do not know that there were ai accusations against the management of the to its connection with the Crédit Mobiller prior to the commencement of Fisk’s suits; cannot |. there were not; atthe time of the service of the injunction one of our oficers, thinking they had no right to enter, held the door against tnem, but they pressed it open; that was THE VIOLENCE USED; all the directors were arrested ; some of them were taken to court and others to other places, and held to bail, fearing they would be sent to Eldridge Street Jail; when the injunction against the elec. tion was received we proceeded to count the votes; don’t know of any more votes being cast; after the injunction was served and we proceeded with the count Fisk left; did not know of his returning, To Mr. Parsons—Our counsel informed us that roceedings had been taken to remove the case to he United States Courts and that the proceedings before Judge Barnard were invalid. To Chief Justice Charch—The order of arrest was served on us thirty minutes after the injanction was: served, and our impression was that they went ous and got it.
