thought and word and prayer of every Frenchman should be for France and France alone.” NO CONFIDENCE IN A REPUBLIC, axins'taaee this speech—for speech it was, and Gelivered with a precision and beauty of thought which 1¢is almost impossible to reproduce—your correspondent, as if to end the interview, thanked M. Guizot for hia extreme kindness and courtesy, ‘and said he was sorry he 2ould not say to America ‘that there was a brighter prospect for the Republic im France. “Ido not,” said the ilinstrious and venerable man, ‘consider the foundation of a republic in France impossible. But it is no casy task, and itis one with which I can only have s secondary sym- pathy. I have shown you some of the dangers—po- tical apathy, the ambition of parties, the igno- Yance of the people, This ignorance makes the people unfitted for the restraints and responsibill- ties of republicanism. But above all, is the danger of the return of the Commune. I cannot convey to you, my friend, the awful feelings that came upon me when upon my return to Paris I saw the appalling work of the Commune. History has no parallel—this destraction of the splendid and stately buildings of Paris—rich in architectural beauty and historical association—the burning of Mbraries, works of art and so on, of everything, im fact, worthy to minister to the nation’s comfort and happiness. These treasures the mob could not comprehend and'so they destroyed them. It is @ mania hitherto unknown to France. It was Bot seen in 1793, 1890 or 1848. Now I desire to ee France ruled by the most enlightened of her sons, For this. reason Iam not a republican, for I fear that in @ republic the noisiest and not the most en- lightened men would govern France.’? And s0 ended this most remarkable and interest- ing conversation, At its close M. Guizot, his form and face showing little trace of the nearly ninety Winters which nave worn upon them, and giving your correspondent his hand, walked with him to the door. With exquisite grace and kindness he #aid that he was only too glad to have had a ehance of speaking with the representative of a journal as famous as the HERALD, whose pro- prietor, as he before remarked, had so richly merited the gratitude of the world. BOSTON, HARTFORD AND ERIE, Meeting of the Directors Yesterday—A Rumor that William H. Vanderbilt Was Elected President of the Road— Mr, Fred Lane Denies This—The Con- tentions Between the Central and Eric to Obtain Possession of the Road—An Opinion Which Decides Brie’s Claim— Coquetting With Both Sides. ‘There were rumors in Wall street yesterday that William H. Vanderbilt had been elected President of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, aud the report created some excitement, A HERALD re- porter saw Mr. 8. L. M Barlow on the subject. Mr. Barlow had heard the report and was astonished atit, He said that he hoped this was not true; that the Erle Railroad had guaranteed $5,000,000 of the Boston, Hartford and Erie’s bonds, and that through this the Erie road had hoped to gain con- trol of the road. Mr. Barlew scemed to intimate that the election of Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt would knock this little project on the head. At noon yesterday there was a mecting of the directors of the Boston, Hartford and Erie road, The meeting was short and nothing was done, THB TWO COMMISSIONERS appointed by the State of Massachusetts not being present, The attendance of the gentlemen was con- sidered very necessary, as the road runs principally through Massachusetts, and it hopes to have some valuable franchises made out and others renewed in case these commissioners are entirely satisfied with the way in which business was done, The ab- sence of the commissioners was mainly owing to urgent business, and the meeting was adjourned until next Tuesday, when the commissioners have promised to be present, A HERALD reporter afterwards saw Mr. Fred. A Lane, in whose rooms the mecting was held, Mr Lane at first said he COULD NOT DIVULGE the object of the meeting, but afterwards ict }t out, He said :— “You know we hope too much from these com- missioners to hold a meeting without them. Our road must owe a great deal to Massachusetts leg- fslation, and without it we cannot do much.” “Can you tell me, Mr. Lane,” asked the HrRaLD reporter, ‘whether the rumor that William H. Van- derbilt has been elected President of the Boston, Hartiord and krie is true 7” “itis not,’ answered Mr, Lane, emphatically. “Of course, I need not conceal the fact to you, for I think it now useless to do so, There have been some arrangements made towards that point, but nething was concluded, and I don’t think anything will be, There is no doubt-but that some propro- sitions were made to Mr. Vanderbilt Wi soime- body to take the presidency of the road, but I beligve that he will never be the President of the Boston, Hartford and Erie road, “Bat, of course, if he were made President it would hurt the Erte interests?” “Of course, it would,” gaid Mr. Lane. “But you see Idon’t care whom I hurt. Isimply consider THE INTERESTS OF THE ROAD, 1 know that the road is the vital point to both the Central, under Vanderbilt, and to she Erie, for it ig the only means of taking to England the im- mense coal supplies of the West. You can easily see, then, the great point it is to the Eric road to possess the Boston, Hartford and Erle, as it would give that road an outlet to the whole of the East. ern States, and give a means of richness which it may well fight over. Of course, with Vanderbilt this is a vital point between the two, and | leave them to fight over it, but keep entircly aloof from the fight. All Il can say iy that the road goes to the highest bidder.” “But the Erie people claim, Mr. Lane, that it has Gharsnyeed $5,000,000 of the ‘Boston, Hartford and rie Railroad bonds?” “Yes, it has guaranteed the interest upon these,” “Won't this give Erie a hold upon the road 7” “Not the slightest, It has simply guaranteed to poy the interest; but through this it cannot really eepany hold upon the road, What [say ie tuat M shall go 70 THE HIGHEST BIDDER, and I don’t care whether it is the Eric or Vander- bilt. It may be that the Pennsyivania road may come In between the two and swallow it up, But Tassure you again | don’t care whe gets it,’’ “But will not Erie resort to some means to secure ite interest in the matter 7?” “Mr, Barlow says that he is about to file a bill in one of the Courts demanding an injunction against ‘the sale of the road and against any further pro- ceedings being taken by the directors, Bat this won’t hinder matters much, and 1’) tel) you why, There ia AN OPINION on the matter from Judge Abbott, of Bostoi Fiea—1 am of opinion, b virtne of tho ninth and tenth elauses of the mortgage of the Boston, Hartford and Erie, shatin lg teen months atter the mortgage trustees have Ned the required notice of possession having been taken tovorec lose, they are obliged to calls meeting of bund- holders to vote upon the question of the farmation of new corporation, to consist of said bondholders as stock: holders; that this duty isperemptory and not discre- onary, and will be enforced by @ proper process from courts, ‘Second—I am of opinion that if the bondholders fo- Sn. ete o organize themselves into a corporation 0 bondholder is entitled. to any imterest on ison whether wo hecomes tn fact a stockholier oF the terms of the contract all interest on all bonds forever ceases on ihe formation of such cor. poration that payment thereof is forbidden, and, of uarastes tc to pay interest on said bonds ceases at the same time: that is, there belng uo inverest to. pay, Bo guarantee to pay it can be availed of. “I rather think that this will surprise the gen- emen on the otuer side,’ continued Mr. Lane; “but im any case, however, the matter turns out that the road in less than a couple of weeks will bave ‘pemed into other hands,” i THE THETA DELTA OBI FRATERNITY. ‘The twenty-sixth annual convention of the above fraternity, which is one ef the oldest of the Greek nocieties, Commencen at the Astor House yester- day, abont fifteen colleges being represented, F, W.

The offers of five-twenties to the government amounted to $5,218,150 at prices ranging from 113.65 to 114.52. The acceptances were confined to the million advertised for, which was obtained at 113,65 @ 113.84, The stringency im the money mar- ket caused the sellers to send in $350,000 of the bonds this aiternoon, for which the Sub-Treasurer paid one-third greenbacks and two-thirds national bank notes, THE FOREIGN MARKET. The London quotations came steady for consols with, at the close, an equalization of prices Jor money and for the account—a fact cenfirming the re- port of easy money in the London market, United States securities were heavy for the 1867's, anda fraction lower for the new fives.

In the former case the lowest rate was recorded at the beginning of business, when the renewals were generally at 1-32, equitalent to 114g per cent per annum, As the day advanced the scarcity became more evident, and before three o'clock as high as and interest was paid, the demand continuing at 14 ‘until after three o’clock, The stringency is aggra” vated by artificial influences, the parties con- cerned being interested ina decline in prices at the Stock Exchange and having already LOCKED UP between five and ten millions of dollars, Much il) feeling was expressed because the Secretary of the ‘Treasury did not buy more than a million of bonds, especially as he was offered fully five millions at less than par in gold; but he was doubtless re- strained by the fact that his currency balance is reduced to the unusually low figure of $3,500,000, Commercial paper is only nominal at such a time as the present, and prime names are to be had easily at 10 per cent discount.

Wheat remained dull and nominal. There were a few bids from shippers, but they did not result in any business of moment; the scarcity of freight room was stillan insurmountable dimculty, even though there had been a better demand. Though wheat was quite freely offered there was no pressure to sell. Corn was steady, with a rather better demand in part for shipment. Oats were dull. Whiskey was steady despite heavy receipts. There was @ freer movement in pork, but at a slight concession for lots for forward delivery. Lard ‘was steady. Freight room and vessels were scarce and high rates were insisted upon.
