OMeial Denial of the mor that Mr. Havemeyer Had Withdrawn from the Contest=What Thoma: Murphy Thinks ‘Will be the Result To.Morrow. Yesterday afternoon the busy tongue of rumor ‘was industriously active with the report that Mr, Havemeyer had withdrawn from the contest for the Mayoralty. The result of diligent inquiry showed that the report had no other foundation than that of idle tongues. A visit bya HeRaLp reporter to the rooms of the Committee of Seventy at the Everett House found several of the THE EMPIRE STATE. A Majority of Upwaris of Twenty Thousand Claimed for Grant—Greeley Men Equally Confident—Will New York City Give 25,000 Democratic Majority? ALBANY, Nov. 4—Midnight, From the latest expression of opinion concerning to-morrow’s result I would say that the major share of confidence in victory is on the side of the re- publicans, They talk unconditionally and count prominent .members of the Committee in- | UPOM majorities ranging from twenty thousand to ausirio at work preparing for the | “fy thousand. ‘They argu® that persed Ne glectiod on the following day, and when |"York city majority of 1808 will be cus dowd forty they heard of the rumor they laughed a disdainful laugh, Mr. Thomas Murphy, who canig fi shortly after the reportes arrived, wag told of the report, and he tréated it with the same contempt as the gentlemen of the Committee. In a conyersation with Mr. Murphy as to the prospects of the elec- tion, he spoke with the greatest possible confidence of the election of Mr. Havemeyer. He said that he was fully convinced that Havemeyer would poll more votes, or as Many, at least, as the other candidates for the foraity, He put Mr. Haye- meyer’s vote .at x and he did not think that the other two candidates’ ‘woul be much over Sed thousand each. In that analysig he réckoned that the repub- ican vote—which Was about - thousand— would go solid Havemeyer, @ split in the democratic vote would give the remainder. In an-inquiry as to how he expected the reform vote, independent of the party vote on either side, to go, he said that at the las€ election the reform vote ‘was about forty thousand, and lie believed that that vote would be almost a unit for Have- meyer. The onl onetae to Mr. Lawrence was that he was all © Tammany, and in conse- uence, as between the two men, Mr. O’Brien was the preferable candidate; but he had no doubt that both would be distanced considerably in the race by Mr, Havemeyer. Mr. Havemeyer Rises to Explain. At a late hour im the evening Mr. Havemeyer “Sent to the HERALD the following official denial of his reported withdrawal from the contest :— To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— There is & rumor aflodt that I have withdrawn my name from the present canvass. There is no truth in it, or shadow of foundation for such a rumor, pany VEMEYER, New York, Monday, Nov. 4, Mr. Lawrence Also Explains. Rumor has also been Susy with the name of Mr. Lawrence, but that gentleman settles the question of his candidacy as follows:— To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— 1am inforned that a circular has heen prepared by one of the rival candidates for Mayor announc- ing that I have withdrawn from the contest. 1 de- sire to say that there is no truth in the statement, ey ihn yar be 0 eee hak Bt et of e and confidently expect to be elected. sit "ABRALAR R. LAWRENCE, POLITICAL POOL SELLING: ©’Bricn First, Havemeyer Second, Law- rence Third—The Crowds at Johnson's and Thompeom’s—No Fun and All Seriousness. If ‘pirited pool selling and big crowds. of people “are am indication of taterest in aa election the con- ‘test to-aay excites the keenest anxiety, not only among politicians, but among the sporting frater nity. At Johnsen’s saloon, Twenty-eighth street and Broadway, last. evening, the greatest excite. ment prevailed, The saloon was filled with people, ALL TALKING “‘RLECTION” and anxious to draw conclusions favorable to their iriends from the manner in which betting was going on. It was almost impossible to get stauding room in the neighborhood of the auctioneer 80 closely -was the crowd packed together. Those om ‘the outskirts were pushing man- fully to get a chance of “elbowing” their way into some place of relief near the platform, ‘while those “in possession’? were as sturdily holding their ground and repelling the continued pressure. Well-known faces of pore were here and there seen momentarily in the crush; and soon again voices from'the centre of the mass would yell-out a “bid” that'would sto; the proceadinngs that “the name Of the gentleman” might be found.out. The greater part of the even- Hers occupied with selling on the Mayoralty, this being the sale that caused THE LIVELIEST COMPETITION and the most genuine anxiety. O’Brien, Have- Vp hme Lawrence all had their friends there, and.even though some of these were not betting men and were evidently unwilling to risk their “money,” yet an occasional remark would show that the weakest candidate of the three had a friend to say a good word for him. There was not, much fun at the pool selling, Mr. Johnson being in too much earnest to ‘make hi while the -sun was shining,” therefore. to keep his men to the point. The buying was just .as spirited, however, as ever, the auctioneer could desire, and one. pool was scarcely recorded when another was fairly under the hammer. From first to last O’Briem was easily the favorite, his iriends being present in large numbers, and all the Bee men gladly “taking”’ him with any reasonable odds, Havemeyer was ithe second favorite all through, while Lawrence lagged very feebly and tardily behind. Aa average ‘of tne pools would be $110 for O’Brien, $80 for Have- myer and $25 for Lawrence. Havomeyer repeated- ly fell below this for the first hour or so, but A REINFORCEMENT OF “STAMPS” came up, and he was chus pushed a little higher. u'Brien, however, easily held a pin lead.” “The taking” of re couraging, even to his warmest adherents, tieman who had been buying heavily asied Mr. Johnson “if one of the men withdrew how would {it be about the pool?’ and Johnson assured him that it would be just the same as with horses—if the horse.did not run there was no loss of money. An even hundred or five hundred, repeatedly offered, that Lawrence would be last in the race, Was not taken up. More than once $100 to $15 was taken that Havemeyer would withdraw, though the auctioneer stated positively that Havemeyer was sure to run. One spirited young man, deep in the body of the crowd, called “$1,000 TO $60 ‘JIMMY? 18 NEXT MAYOR,”? but to many inquiries there was no response. A mid gentleman with very white hair, who was hovering about the outside of the matin body, as- sured severai gentlemen on entering that he would | risk an even $500 on O’Brien against either Have- meyer or Lawrence, and late at night the sensi- ble old man assured a small crowd that he was going home pertegsly diggusted, owing to the lack of spirit manifested by persons calling themselves republicans. This was the only gentleman, so far + could be seen, who had any genuine humor in im. The Mutual Pools. “ At Thompeon’s, 1,293 Broadway, the French pool | selling was carried on briskly. The gentleman in charge was busy for several hours in stamping re- | ceipts, and giving “change.” Here, too, there | pg number of betters, many of whom grumbled consideraoly at the delay they expe- | 17-8.

If any of your own deputies are intoxicated or disor- derly arrest them and send them immediately to these headquarters. GEORGE H. SHARPE, United States Margi. thousgnd this timé,‘aad as hé Was elected by only ‘about teri thousand votes, it is folly for the Greeley party to hope, even by yepunusan Ge. fection, to make wp fox th8 aduittea diminution in the aemnsehitie figures of that year. Henry Smith, late Speaker of the Assembly, insists that thore Were at least forty thousand fraudulent votes cast for Hoffman in '68, and yet his majority Was only a fourth of that number. A gentleman equally prominent on the democratic side in this county, but who declines to have his name men- tioned, tells me that after his forty years’ expe- rience of the politica of the State, with every county of which he claims to be intimately ac- quainted, he feels satisfied that there is an honest Mberal democratic majority capable of duly electing Greeley and Kernan. All that he isin the dark about is New York city. He says the democracy and hberals of the State will do their whole duty, and, as an index, he relies sanguinely on ALBANY COUNTY GIVING TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUN- DRED DEMUCRATIC MAJORITY, or five hundred more than it gave before. If New York city will only poll her fall democratic strength for the democratic candidates Grant will be de- feated—that is the burden of every democrat’s song here this evening. They know what the State can do. They know its full capacity, for to some of then: politics have been the study of a life- time, and they can lay their finger at notice on any etary 3 in a county State where the vote in any of the past fifteen years has been irregular or revolutionary, To-night they look wistfully to» New city. They have heard rumors of bai and sale. between certain democrats and Grant republicans. Republicans hav2 industriously in- flamed the spirit of distrust in the democratic ranks, and the announcement was made and came here this morning that O’Brien had sworn to stand by his friends, and his friends were the supporters of Grant. Ail the democrats hope and ask for is a majority of 25,000 on the part of democratic Gotham. Give them that and they take Heaven to witness that the State shall be made safe for both Greeley and Kernan. “Let New York be trifling, traitorous, indifferent, and the game is lost." The jubilant and hopetul circular sent forth by the Liberal Executive Committee has had a good effect, 1t has fired the hearts of the faithful and strengthened the knees of the weak. INDIVIDUAL ANTAGONISTIC OPINIONS. Mr. Philip ‘Teneyck, who follows State politics as @ man might follow the sea, as being his true ele- ment and the one he loves, says he has no doubt about the result, which means that Mr. Teneyck, being @ supporter of General Grant, believes the liberal ticket will be defeated. ie astute Dr. Purdy, whose eagle sweep takes in the Valley of Sonoma as well as the Valley of the Mohawk, and who in a twinkling can run his mystic Rogers through the details of State and national politics back tothe beginning of the century, says has mo doubt of the result, which means-that Dr. Purdy, impressed with the wisdom of Providence in Stamping matution on the face of nature and alter- nating the seasons of the year, believes the divine instinct of the vox populé will demand and enforce @ change in the government. I have canvassed both sides bob cole and I can draw no other conclusion than this, that. the republicans enter- tain a superior confidence to the democrats for the Jollowing two reasons :— First—Tammany Hall being paralyzed, they fancy, like Mr. Henry Smith, that the democratic party is cut down 40,000-0n its vote of 1868, Sevont—That the stay-at-lome straight-out and Grant-supporting democrats will more than coun- terbalance the liberal defection, which, they say, is not one-half as forminabic as represented. Here you have the reasons why the republicans Jeel so sure of winning. Without ing as confident the democrats also hope for success for two other reasons :— First—The liberal secession will foot up a loss to the regular republicans of 65,000 votes, Second—There will be few stay-at-homes, asevery democrat feeis that something like a total dissolu- tion of his party will follow a Grant triumph in New York State, As to the way Greeley and Kernan will run Ihave heard many perplexing statements and specula- tions this evening; they wilt run unevenly. Greeley will be cut on one side, Kernan on the other, Some liberal republicans who will VOTE FOR GREELEY WILL SCRATCH KERNAN; some proud, unbending democrats of the stiff- necked generation, who will vote for Kernan, will throw the top joint of the ticket in the gutter. Kernan will probably go ahead of Greeley by thousands. The registration is 5,000 greater than it was last year. The feeling about Kernan ts in- tense to-night. Hundreds of republicans have pledged themselves to vote for him in place of Dix, and thus vindicate “freedom of conscience and religion.” I heard two Protestant ministers of the Gospel declare to-day that while it would not become them to take an active part for Kernan, they hoped no American citizen would cast his vote against him on the score of his religion. They said it would be a bad and dangerous precedent to set, and altogether at variance with tne principles of American liberty. Judging from this standpoint Kernan stands a fair chance of being elected. His friends multiply as 1 write, and the enthusiasm for him is apparently of the geuuine kind, THE LATEST FROM BUFFALO. Party Henchmen Carrying on the Fight to the Doors of the Polling Places—A Severe Struggle Looked for Between the National d Principal State Can- didates—Estimated Majorities for Grant and Kernan, York BUFFALO, Nov. 4, 1872. - This city is considerably excited, and business is not brisk, notwithstanding the general convales- cence of horses. Poitlical epizooty has also vanished. The vital political parties stand op- posed in serried lines, tie stragglers on both sides have been huddied into the ranks, and there is fire in the eyes of voting troops. To-morrow begins and decides the battle, and the char- acteristics that attract notice here in thia mmportant city of Buffalo are, I am ad- vised by despatches, observable in all the sections of the State north of Spuyten Duyvil. Stragglérs have been called in, deserters have been pardoned and restored to duty, and the questions at issue have been equally if not fairly presented. | The order of the day of battle is war to the knife | and the knife to the hilt for Grant or for Greeley. Everywhere the question is discussed, ‘Have we had enough of Grant, or ought we take Greeley?” The foreign born citizens are of course enthusiastic in favor of the liberal and democratic candidate for Governor, and consider the State ticket all im- portant. But THE NATIVE BORN have theireyes fixed on the general government, of course. As I. said in recent letters, there are many hundreds of citizens who would not vote for Kernan because of his religion, but these will be outnumbered by the hundreds who will oppose them at the poll, in consequence of that religious rejudice, Now, as the pious people on both sides have been fully aroused I am inclined to point through the dense mist, however, on the eve of the election to an exceedingly heavy vote, How is that vote to be cast? Let me briefly review the situa- tion. At much length, and with as much distinct- ness as I could, I have described in former letters the progress of the canyass how closed. ‘There have been changes since then, BOCKBONISM NOT COUNTED. Bourbonism will, litterally speaking, amount to nothing in this State. It is belleved by most peo- ple that that little Louisville Blanton Duncan side show was im the interest of the regular republican candidate, and was “fixed,” Though enlightened American citizens are keenly observant of politica! dodges, they briefy sum up the account with “that is smart”ana then vote dead inst the smartman ; and so while the Bourbon business was on foot the people looked upon tt as a sharp pick, but now that he issue is fairly made between the nominees of Philadelphia and Cincinnatl “them Louisville oar are laughed to scorn. I mnst confess my in- ability to sam op accurately the situation at this hour; ‘accuracy is impossible in this campaign. I can only describe the average sentiment. The active par, taken by federal office holders in the contest has been two-edged, THE PEOPLE GENERALLY dislike to see men pawing the air and vomitin; abuse over the pages of local papers in order that they may be retained in lucrative offices. The ad- ininistration organs in the towns of the State, | am informed, are either run or edited by federal post- masters or railroad men. ‘The power of these men, then, must not be lightly estimated, and must be properly placed against those who havo not office and backing up against the pillar of reform for Greeley, I think there will be some cheating to- morrow, but not as much as usual. It will, 1 think, be @ reasonably fair election in the Stato, A GLANCE OVER THE FIELD. Briefly, reviewing the situation as it stands this evening, I see no reason for changing my views as formerly expressed. If, as 1 am ior med, and is here fully believed, O’Brien has broken with the Grant party, and there 1s @ political free 3 iad in the metropolis, Greeley will, perhaps, carry this State by trom ten to twenty thousand majority, and Ker- bun by a much larger majority, THE NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS. Yesterday was a day of dissolution in all the National Committee rooms. The cosey parlors at the Glenham, the Fifth Avenue -and the Spingler were rapidly undergoing all day the process of dismantling. The portraits, charts and banners were finally carried away, and only @ lone secre- tary or two in each committee room was left to receive the returns Of to-night. At the various State headquarters some little bustle was raised vee advent of people who wanted the straight ticket, one they could depend on, and haa come to the place where they knew they wouldn’t be im- Posed upon, These seekers were served so far as ate, but most of them were referred to their istrict Committeemen, xoue Mews MUMIOTPAL REFORM ASSOCIA. This organization, of the Fifteenth wara, having its headquarters at 744 Broadway, held its final meeting last evening. They number upwards of five hundred men, every one a voter. The object Of the association is non-partisan and good, honest city government, and while they endorse no one in particular, each member forms a committee of oe to watch the polls, guard against illegal voting and see that each man registered, whose name after in- vestigation is found to be all right, puts in an ap- earance to cast hig-ballot.

At a late hour last night the politicians concluded their preparations for the elections. The tickets were folded, put up in parcels and distributed to the proper parties. ‘The men to “man” the polls had been selecte J and promised to be “on deck,” take their torn at the helm and aid in steering the candidates into office. The sails are to be hoisted at sunrise and the fags are to oat to the breeze until the sun sets, when the little journey will be ended and the anxious passengers quietly dropped down at their journey’s end, wherever that may United States Commissioners Jones and Winslow will be in attendance at their office, in Montague street, throughout the day to entertain any com- ee that may be pylon by citizens, and to sue Warrants for the arrest of any violators of the Election law that may be reported. There will also be a reserve force of deputy marshals on hand in the United States Court building, on Montague. street, ready for any emergency that may require their services, A police force will also be held in reserve at the Police Headquarters. Mr. George Flanley, the telegraphic superin- tendent, has made arrangements to have the re- turns promptly telegraphed to police headquar- ers, and the mistakes and blunders of previous years will not be repeated.

Grand Closing Demonstrations by Re- publicans and Democrats at Portiand— The Figures of the Last Presidential Election. PORTLAND, Me., Nov. 4, 1872. The only indications of political life that have been shown in this city since the September election was to-night, when both parties made grand closing demonstrations. The republicans occupied the City Hall and held one of the best meetings of the campaign. General James’ D. Fessenden presided, and speeches were made by Hannibal Hamlin and Josiah H. Drummond, Before the mee! ing the republican cam! m clubs of Port land, Ligonia and Ferry Village united in a grand parade, with music and fireworks. ‘The democrats held an outdoor meeting at Mar- ket square, which was ey lighted. The demo- cratic campaign clubs of this city and Cape Eliza- beth paraded, with a id of music and torches. The crowd rallied to the hall of the Greeley Zou- aves, Where speeches were made by @ number of local politicians, The vote to-morrow is not expected to be very heavy, horses being needed to get.the lukewarm and dilatory to the polls. The vote of Portland for President in 1868 was—Grant, 3,272; Seymour, 1,905; Graut’s majority, 1,367, the largest republican ma- jority ever given except once, when Mr. Lynch was @ candidate for Congress, OONNECTIOUT’S FEMALE VOTER, Mrs. Huntingdon, of Norwalk, Debarred from the Privilege of Voting for Presi- dent—The Action of the Selectmen Ad- mitting Her to tha Franchise Declared. Unconstitutional. BRIDGEPORT, Nov, 4, 1872, Mrs. Sarah M. T. Huntington, of Norwalk, Copn., was some weeks since admitted by the Selectmen of that town tothe franchise, took the oath and thus became an elector. Upon subsequent apptica- tion to the registers tohave hername put upon the voting lists, that she might vote for President, the registers refused to enter her name upon the lists, and ciosed them without doing so. On Satur- Huntington, through her counsel, A. B. a and John H. Perry, of Norwalk, applied to Judge Minor, of the Superior Court of Falriela county, for a writ of peremptory mandamus to com- pel the registers to re-open the lists and put her nameon them. ‘The cagc came up at Bridgport this morning, O. 8, Ferry appearing as counsel for the registers. The case was argued before Judge Minor, Messrs. Woodward and Perry contending that the action of the Selectmen was final as to the qualifi- cation of Mrs. Huntington as a voter, and that the registers could not refuse cig to put her name upon the lists, and Senator Ferry, on the other haud, maintaining that the action of the Select- men was contrary to the constitution of the State and therefore null and void.

The Question of Tonnage Ducs—A Treaty Clause Resurrected by Belgium, Britain, France and Germany. The State Department is embarrassed by the question of tonnage dues which has grown out of the late successful application of the Belgian Hue of steamers between Antwerp and New York for the refundment of tonnage dues collected on such steamers at the New York Custom Honse. Article four of the convention with Belgium of July 17, 1858, provides as followa:— Steam vessels of the United States and Belginm engaged in regular navigation between the United States and Belgium shall be exempt in both coun- tries from the payment of duties of tonnage, an- chorage, buoys and lighthouses, ‘Phis article was at the time a concession to the United States, whose Atlantic steam lines were promising a development that would carry them into every important port of Europe, and great expectations were afoot concerning Antwerp. This article was first brought to recol- lection by the late protest of the Antwerp line against the exaction of the prohibited duties at New York, and at once engaged the at- tention of the agents of the various British, French and German steam lines plying to ports in the United States, whose governments all have existing com- Mercial treaties with the United States, containing What is known as “favored nation clause,” which Yeciprocally binds the contracting Powers not to grant particular favor to other nations in respect to commerce and navigation which shall not imme- diately become common to the other party, who shall enjoy the same freely. These treaties are all anterior to the convention with Belgium, and were contracted when the large and growing carrying trade of the United States made it an object to have the freest possible navigation to every coun- try. Consequently the maritime reciprocity clause is of frequent occurrence in the treaty book. The attention of our government is now called to the Belgian Treaty, and to the right of other coun- tries to enjoy it, and no further tonnage dues by British, French or German steam packets will be paid, except under protest, so that the amount May be recovered. The tonnage of these foreign lines is about three hundred and fifty thousand tons, and the dues about one hundred thoasand dollars a year. The officials of the State Department have now to decide whether tweive months’ notice shall be given to Belgium of the termination of the treaty, or the revenue from steam tonnage abandoned tor the future. There is little doubt that they will accept the latter alternative, as an abandonment of the reciprocal advantage of the treaty would be an indirect confession of the permanent prostra- tion of our commercial marine, which they are not ready to make. On the other nand, if they agree to collect no tonnage dues on the foreign steamers they apprehend that our own steamers, now or hereafter regularly employed in foreign trade, and some of them possibly to countries where the Belgian agreement does not apply, will complain of their exaction and Congress will be called on to abolish tonnage duties on American soreign trading steam vessels, as already on the whole steam and sail coasting trade, and in all probability on the Canadian trade. The compara- tively few American sail vessels in foreign trade will then have an equitable claim for exemption, and should they succeed the equality clauses of the commercial treaties would again apply and the whole system of tonnage duties fail. The prospec- tive results of the pending question compel the State Department to exercise exceeding care and ‘dcliberation in its disposition. % Pensioning Retiring Judges. An effort will be made to have a law passcd at the coming session of Congress empow ering the President to accept the resigna- tion of any United State Judge mentally or physically incapacitated for duty, on a pension, without regard to age or length of service. The present law provides that the pension may only be given to Judges seventy years old and up- ward, and who have sat on the bench ten years. There are numbers of judges ‘unfit to act, but who are not disposed to relinquish their positions while they have a right to remain on the bench and draw salary. The British-American Claims Commia- sion. The American and British Claims Commission has given permission to take testimony in various cases. The Commission allowed the demurrer o¢ United States counsel in case No. 29, Herndon Baen, administrator; and also allowed the de- murrer of Her Majesty’s counsel in case No. 17, William Wheeler Hubbell. The claim of the memorialist in the latter case set up & supposed implied contract on the part of Her Majesty’s government to com- pensate him as the alleged inventor of certain im- provements in firearms averred to have been used in the British service. The claimant did not appear to have had any property in his alleged in- vention in England, and even if there were such contract, express or imphed, such contract would be neither within the terms nor within the intent and meaning of the treaty creating this tribunal. On demurrer on cases 205, James B. Halley, ad- ministrator; 212, John C. Ferris; 263, Joseph B. Haycock; 265, Henry Moody, administrator; 298, C. Eugenia O'Bryan, administratrix; 304, Emilia G. Rattery, and 445, Janet Mason, administratrix, the following decision was rendcred:—These demur- rers are overruled, the majority of the commis- stoners being of opinion that where the claim is by an adiinistrator in respect of injury to the prop- erty of an intestate who was exclusively a British subject and the beneficiaries of British subjects as well as American citizens, the claim may be prose- cuted for their benefit. The commissioners are of opinion that the particular nationality of the administrator does not affect the question. Decision on the French Discriminating Dutia, The Treasury Department has received a com- munication from the Boston Board of Trade asking whether the ten per cent discriminating duties established by the President's recent proclamation is to be held applicable to goods afloat at the time of the proclamation. The department holds that the discriminating duty applies to all goods arriving in French vessels from other than French ports on and after the 30th ult., and that whatever may be the hardships of the case it has no discretion to hold otherwise under the terms of the proclamation. Civilizing the Utes. A delegation of the Ute Indians—who have been here for the past fortnight—consisting of Antero and Tabberona, the principal chiefs, and Wander- oder, jubordjnate chief, in charge of Special In- dian Agent G.

Dodge, called upon the President this morning to say goodby, and express thoir en- tire satisfaction with the arrangements which have been made for the maintenance of friendly rela- tions with the whites in the future, in virtue of which the present reservation of 750,000 acres is to be thrown open to all the Utes of Utah and Colo- rado—some thirteen thousand in number—and stocked, so as to give them a start in civilized life. « Major H.

The following is the full text of the recent letter of the Comte de Chambord, which is described as haying attracted much notice in Paris: — EBENZWEYER, Oct. 15, 1872, Ido not hesitate, my dear La Rochette, to reply frankly to the questions which you have put to me. France would be saved, and we should sce her rise from her ruins stronger and greater than ever, if the real conditions ol safety were rightly understood, The country is weary of agitation. A secret instinct telis it that the traditional monarchy could restore to it that repose which it so much desires, and it is that which the Republic seeks at any cost to pre- yent; for that the efforts’ to mislead and deceive the nation are redoubled. Your patriotic spirit. revolts vgainst this, and you grieve to find so many generous minds becoming involuntary accomplices Of errors which they detest and uf solutions which they dread. } lament this as much as you do; but, like you, I protest against the ‘establishment of & state of thi intended to prolong our misfor- tunes. It is impossible to be mistaken on that point. The proclamation of the Republic in France has aiways been, and again will be, the com- mencement of social anarchy, opening a free field for all kinds of greed and envy, all kinds of Utopias ; and you coulda not undey any pretext take part in Such béleiul enterprise. It is continually and with~ out any reason declared that we now live in times when everything happens that is unexpected, and the utmost ingenuity is displayed to find one da, an expedient to insure safety for to-inorrow. the country is so weak as to permit itself ‘to be drawn in by the currents which agitate it nothig can be less uncertain than the future. We are hastening toward a certain abyss, All attempts wiil be vain to establish # consoling distinction be- tween tat pariy of violence which promises peace to men while declaring war against God, and that more prudent, better disciplined party, arriving at its objects by indirect means, but still striving for the saimcend., They differ in their language, but they pursue the same chimera; they do not enlist the same soitiers, but they march under the same flag. They cannot fail to draw upon us the same misfortunes. To retain the tliusion of ap honest and moderate Republic after the sanguinary days of June, 1848, and the savage deeds of the second “Terror,” each so murderous for our brave army, is it not to forget too quickiy the warnings of Providence, and to treat the lessons of experi- ence with too much contempt? It is at the moment when France is awakening and asserting itself by @great act of faith that it ig sought to impose upon it the government which is most menacing towards its religious liberties. It is when the necessity of alliance is being so imperiously felt that any alliance is to be rendered impossible, and we are to condemn ourselves to a fatal isolation. No, that will not be. The Republic disquiets inter- ests as much as it does conscientes. It can be but @ provisional arrangement for a longer or shorter period. Monarchy aione can give true liberty, and has no need to styie itseif-conservative in order to reassure all honest people. tt is these last that 1 would reawaken to @ consciousness. of their strength. The people in olden times were accus- tomed to say, “Oh, if the King knew.’ How’ just it would be to-day to say, “Oh, if honest mem woud.” Let us unceasingly fight against the faith- lessness of some, the timid soquiescence of others. To the pene of fictions aad falsehood. let us always and everywhere oppose our open avd undisguised policy, As a whoie, France if Catholic and monarchical; it is for us to caution it against errors, to point out the rocks, and to direct it towards the port. L trust tnatI have never failed in that sacred duty, and no one will ever be able togeduce me from my path. I have not one word to retract, net an act to regret, for bhey have ali been inspired by love of Py pountry 5 and J insist upon my share of responsibiity in the advice which I give to my f ds, ‘the day of triumph ie still one of Guil’s se 3, but have con- fidence in the mission of France. ‘ope has need of it, the Papacy has need of it, and therefore the old Christian nation cannot perish, HENRI. The Débats thus comments upon the above let teri— The former manifestoes of the Comte de Cham- bord might be regarded as harmless reveries. 16 is not the same in some respects with that which has just appeared in the form of aletier to M. de la Rochette, Deputy for the Loire Inférieure. Up to the present time the Comte de Chambord has contented himself with reminding Frauce— we will not say Frenchmen, as we do not wish to use a disagreeable term, and one partaking somewhat of the revolution- ary heresy—that he was the Fah lye devised and held in reserve by Providence for the great day of reparation and resurrection. But he interiered po further in the affairs of the country; he confined himself to saying, “Iam here; [ wait until | am sought for, but I will do nothing to hasten that Moment.” There was in those repeated declara- tions so mucii of personal disinterestedness that it might have been supposed, and many persons did hoid that opinion, that the Comte de Chambord was only a platonic pretender fulfiliing a conscientious duty, or what he conceived to be a duty, in con- tinuing to represent the principie of monarchy vy divine right, but without being at all eager to ex- change tne tranquil leisure of private life for the anxieties astaching to ihe occupancy of a throne. It is not possible to entertain that supposition any longer. In this new manyfesto every one wust per- ceive traces of irritation and impatience, It is easy to see that the recent political manifesta- tions, under the guise of pilgrimages, have exercised a certain influence upon the mind of the Comte de Chambord. ‘The Pretender, against whom his faithiul adherents muatier a re- eee of indecision, and even of feeblencss, has felt the spur, and appears to believe that the ‘psy- cholegical’ moment might have arrived. The Comte de Chambord protests against the proclama- tion of the Republic in France, and he declares to his friends that they “cannot uncer any pretext take part in this balcful enterprise.” Never before has he said so much. What! are the legitimisis not to accept the republic under any preiext, not even if there should be no other way Cad renting the country from failing into anerchy? That tea serious statement—a very rash one, and one which will Psat some day weigh heavily upen the conscience of him who utters it. According to that, itis monarchy by Divine right or no government at all, legitimacy or the complete ruin of France, Henri V. or chaos. There is no other uiter- native. “Rather let everything be swallowed np.’? Alas! the Comte de Chambord has not accustomed us to such language from hitasel(—it hus never been heard save from the lips of the eraltés o: his arty. Besides this, we find in the letter to M. de la Rochette that which formed the subsiance of former manifestoes, Jt is not a simple mortal. who speaks—tit is a King in possesston of political inial ility, in the same manner as the Pope possessa: religious infalliility, These two orders of ideas rs even 80 Fixed up in this erertaee eee appears as though we were rea an episcoval charge. The Comte de ¢ nord talks about “war declared against God,” of the “warn- ings of Providence which are too quickly [°" otten,”’ and of the “mission of France, whicn is hecessary to Europe and to the Papacy.” We must not lose sight of the fact that bencath all this les hidden, or, rather, there is displayed, a com- plete pounce programme. France, which will read the Comte de Chamberd’s letter, wiilsee into what hands it would fall, and into what adventures it would be driven, if ever the Monarchy by Divine right should be restored with Henry Y. Itis true the country does not appear very much disposed to yleld to the sedactions of the Pretender’s manifes- toes, apd upon that point we are quite at ease, DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE Bmeverenr Weer eens Another Letter From “the Apostle of Africa.” Miss Livingstone sends to the Glasgow Herald the following extracts from a letter received from her father, dated Unyanyembe, June 2 and July 1, 1872:— Fearing that I should get a third lot of slaves I desired Mr. Stanley, if he should meet such, at once to send them back—no matter what expense had been tncurred—and get me fifty treemen only. This led to the Search Expedition, in which Oswald was, being abandoned.
