FRANCE. ee Electoral Address from the Government Candi- date—Liberty and Law Against “Perpetual Revolution.” TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, April 14, 1873, M. de Rémusat, candidate for the National Assembly, has issued an address to the Paris elec- tors, declaring that “at all times, and under all gov- ernments, he has sought and loved liberty, but lib. erty founded on law, not perpetual revolution.” He promises to faitgfully sustain the policy of President Thiers, and expresses an earnest desire fer the consolidation of the Republic and the main- ‘tenance of universal suffrage. The Cabinet Position and Republican Party Profession. ‘The Paris Constitutionnel replies to an article ‘Which appeared in the République Francaise, setting forth the republican platform of opposition to the Rémusat candidacy, in the following terms:— The article in the République Francaise sets forth that whatever may be the services rendered by Count de Rémusat the elections for serious par- ties, worthy of the name, cannot be distributions of prizes. In the eyes of a@ pure republican the jualities which distinguish the Count—and which he journalist thus enumerates, “diplomatic ad- dress, a liberal and candid spirit, an intelligent and Well-advised moderation, sentiments of courteous ‘conciliation”"—may be suflicient titles for a Minis- ter of M. Thiers, but are not enough for the man Who aspires to the honor of representing Tepublican Paris. Such a delegate ought, at ‘the present time, and before everything else, to lelare himself the determined champion of he following four articles of faith:—‘1. The integ- ‘Tity of universal suffrage; 2. the raising the state ef siege; 3. The amnesty; and 4, The dissolutien of the Assembly. nd as there is no prebability that ‘Count de Rémusat will inscribe these propositions at the head of his profession of faith it is super- uous for fim to solicit the suffrages of the repub- cans.’ Such is the conclusion of our contempo- rary, and we must admit that itis perfectly logical. ‘But It imposes on us a not less rigorous obligation nd traces out ouf duty, which is to support the an whom the radicals for so many and such cogent reasons utterly repudiate. Count de Rémusat will, therefore, be the revresentative of ‘the conservative parties at the poll, d it is to him that all whe do not wish to see a name like Ge ef M. Valentin or M.

RerorTeR—From your long experience, Colonel, among the Indians, may I ask your opinion of peace commissions? Colonel CuapMaN-+I should not like to give an opinion loosely on the subject, for it is a somewhat intricate question, but lam aware that the public look upon them, as a general rule, as failures, I would, however, say this with reference to the Peace Commission in question, that when they have evidence that the Indians are guilty of prevarication and acting with manifest ill faith, I think it dangerous policy for the Peace Commissioners to entrust their lives in the hands ofsuch men. For my own part I have a far greater belief.in the honesty ana good conduct of, a wild Indian than of these semi-civilized Indians, for to quote Warren Hastings, ‘they have all the vices of the whites with none of their virtues.” ReEPorTER—You have fought against the Indians, I believe, Colonel ¢. CoLoNBL—Yes, iN 1855 I commanded a battalion ef 500 men of the First Oregon Volunteers, and we fought against THE ROUGE RIVER INDIANS, whose location was about a hundred miles from that of the Modocs of the present day. We had several battles and lost aconsiderable number of men, and the war terminated in the Spring of 1856, by the Indians putting themselves under the pro- tection of United States troops. PEACE POLICY. . REroBRTER—What is your experience of the peace policy towards the Indians ? Colonel CHaPMAN—My opinion is that I would make all Indians aiders and abettors who have knowledge of preconcerted massacres similar to that at the lava beds. They would then know that their lives are in the balance for such acts of vile treachery, and I would treat them precisely as we treat white men in this respect, making them equally responsible. Ifthey knew that we enforced th& régime we should have numerous informers when such acts as those we have just heard of are ih contemplation. MB. MEACHAN, THE PEACE CAMMISSIONER. REPORTER—I suppose you know Mr. Meacham, who was wounded ? Colonel CHAPMAN—Yes, certainly. He was a resi- dent of Eastern Oregon, and possessed considera- ble property on the Blue Mountains, and his family resided at Salem, Oregon, on the line of the Port- land, Dallas and Salt Lake Railroad. He was an enthusiastic Methodist and a highly respected man. I knew General Canby at Portland up to last De- cember, and I always esteemed him as a fine fellow and a Christian gentleman. SKETCH OF REV. DR. THOMAS. pee ee Rey. Eleazar Thomas, murdered by the Modocs, was widely known through the Methodist Episco- pal Church, His early ministry was exercised in the Genesee Conference, but he went years ago to California Conference. In 1860 he was a delegate the from California to the General Conference which met in Buffalo. He served three quadrennial terms as editor of the Caliyornia Christian Advocate, efti- ciently discharging the responsible duties of his of- fice. In 1868 the General Conference changed the grade of the Book Depository at San Francisco, and made it a branch of the Book Concern, electing Dr. Thomas editor. He served until 1872, when the grade was again changed to that of a depository, and Dr, Thomas reported to the Bishop of the Cali- fornia Conterence fora regular appointment, and was placed on the Petaluma district. He wasa Man Of spotless character, of great energy, of un. faltering courage and genuine devotion. Going at the call of the authorities to attempt the restora- tion of peace, he fell beside Canby, dying in the dis- charge of duty. He died well, and his family should be remembered by the country fie was temporarily serving. ‘Project of a Second Imperial Visit to Europe— Constituent Censure of a Parliamentry Rep- resentative—Yellow Fever Abating.

RICHMOND, Va., April 14, 1873, Accounts from Edgefield give the following of a Ku Klux raid:—One night last week a party of Georgians, three or four in number, visited the plantation of Mr. Frank Sharpton, living in the Dark Corner, in searcn of certain negro laborers who had left them. Not finding the negroes for whom they sought, they turned in and whipped all the blacks on Mr. Sharpton’s place, and upon leav- ing told them they would return on Tuesday night. This they did—the party increased by one or two. and found the negroes armed and ready for the fray. The latter fired promptly, killing aman named Fobb and seriously wounding another of the same mame, About thirty shets were fired by both parties.

Cain (colored) was arrested yes- Verday on a bench warrant issued from the inferior Court to compel him to answer to an indictment for obtaiming money under false pretences. The substance of the charge is that Cain sold a tract of land to a eolored man several years ago, for which he reeeived the stipulated price. Since then the buyer has not been able to get possession of either laad or money. The case was not pressed by Solicitor Butts in November last, upon the pledge that Cain would retura the purchase money.

Journal, April 11.} ‘The New YorK HERALD of Sunday, April 6, is & marvellous triumph in journalism. It is a quintuple sheet of 120 columns, of which seventy-eight are devoted exclusively to advertisements, I¢ is, we believe, the largest paper ever issued in this coun- try. The advertisements alone will probably amount to at least $25,000, while the number of copies issued is 150,000. The HgRaLp very properly and complacently comments on this triumph, and makes seme suggestions in connection therewith which are worthy the attention of ¢he readers of the Journal. . It assumes that ‘a people who advertise and read are a people whose success in life is assured, Their experience, tact and ifttelligence teach them to appreciate independence, zeal and enterprise in journalism and lea them to patronize such a newspaper as mects their ideas in these qualifica- tions.” It rightly claims that a wide awake, inde. pendent and enterprising newspaper is the busi- hess barometer of the city in which it 18 published. its columns readily show when the people are prosperous and when businé®s is brisk. The exception to this rule is where a paper is crowded with advertisements ot sheriff's sales, which is in- dicative of bankruptcy rather than prosperity. by way of | But a great many business men overlook the im- portance of this fact. ‘They tail to see that strangers will invariably estimate the commercial activity and presperity of a city by the character and general appearance of the papers published in it. No one can glance at a copy of the HeRraLp, to which we have alluded, without being impressed at once with the magnitude and prosperity of the city in which it is published. They must feel that it could not be pub- lished in any other than the greatest city on the Continent. On the other hand, let them get nold of an insignificant sheet, containing neither news nor advertisements, and they at once cong clude that the city it represents is equally barren of enterprise and commercial activity. If they find only here and there advertisements of wholesale houses In the columns of the paper they will most certainly conclude that, as a place to buy goods, the city where it is published doesn’t amount to much. This conclusion is inevitable. Drummers, of course, can control a certain amount of trade, but their work is almost doubled and their success diminished half where the houses they represent persistently ignore or neglect to avail themselves of the advertising advantages offered by the newspapers circulating within the range of their custom, In addition to the direct benefits which mer- chants derive from an insertion of their advertise- ments or busiuess cards in their city papers, there is a reflex advantage which many ef them do not think of. If the paper is conducted by shrewd journalists, who jadictously apply the proceeds of their advertising columns to improving the other departments of the paper, and thereby increasing its circulation and influence, the busi- ness men are proportionately —_ benefited. For strangers cannot resist the im- pression that a wide awake, newsy paper represents wide awake, liberal merchants and manufacturers, with whom it will ve both profita- ble and pleasurable to trade. The consequence is they will make their arrangements to test the soundness of their inferences, and when the drum- mer presents himself he will experience no dii- culty and waste ne time in seearing their orders. The HERALD’s success ought to stimulate every paper in the country to put forth strong efforts to rank every competitor in its immediate locality. {From the Richmond Guide, April 14.) The New York HERALD of April 6 contained 120 columns, seventy-eight of which were advertise- ments, at the prices it receives tor advertising, amounting to about thirty thousand dollars; com- position, about one million ems, $5,000 for setting the type; 5,624 pounds of metal used in stereotyping. The HeRaLD gives all the news of the world, and we expect to hear of Mr. Bennett starting one of his thousand reporters to discover a new planet above or below, just to keep up enterprise. {From the Kansas City (Mo.) Times, April 11.] The New York HERALD on Sunday last contained seventy-elgnht columns of advertisements and forty- | two of general reading matter. The paper, for the | first time in its history, issued a quintuple sheet— | twenty pages—and was the largest ever published in this country. [From the Bennettsville (S.C.) Times, April 11.] The New York HEnALD of the 6th instant ap- peared in quintuple form, centaining one hundred and twenty columns, of which seventy-eight were devoted to advertisements and forty- two to news and = general intelligence. This is an event anprecedentea in the history of journalism, and shows conclusively that the HRRALD is the business barometer of New York and of the country at large. Its coluinns show when business is brisk and people prosperous, ‘Tae HegaALD is printed on five Hoe rotary eight and ten cylinder presses and two Bullock per- fecting presses, being seven presses in all, and each day’s edition is issued at the rate of 1,000 sheets per minute, taking two hours and a half to issue 150,000 papers. Day and night the tei- egraph is at work bringing despatches from all quarters of the globe; corps of correspondents, reporters and editors are busy obtaining news, putting it into shape or commenting upon it; the proof readers are at their post pursuing their onerous and wearying task; stereotypers, press- men and assistants are awaiting the instant when their services will be brought into requisition, for there can be no delay, no pause, no rest until the daily paper is oif the press and ready to go into the hands of its readers. And all this to be done each day. To us, unsophisticated country people, all this sounds like a story in the “Arabian Nights Entertainment.’ Yet it is true. Verily, the HERALD is a great paper.

Captain Williams then made a supplementary Statement as follows:—The Atlantic and other White Star ships were intended to consume from fifty-five to sixty tons of coal per day, but when the coat is bad, as it proved to be in $his case, the consumPtion, went up to seventy tons to maintain the same rate of speed; the company have contracted and paid for tho best coalin the market, and cannot be held re- epooaibte for the quality of the ceal supplied by the fault of the contractors; the English portion of the coal supplied to the Atlantic appeared to have lain at the pit'’s moutn for some time, sO that its heating properties were very much im- parses had the coal been the quality expected by he White Star line she weuld have had fourteen anda halt days’ full consumption, no ship of the White Star line having made a passage longer than thirteen anda half days irom Liverpool to New York; the extra coal was suppiled to prevent the necessity of taking in any in New York; there was fan ample supply of provisions on board, the Government Inspector at'Liverpool having cer- tified to thirty-three days’ supply when she left Liverpool; what we Wee Brean short of was salt fish and potatoes for the Roman Catholio passen- gers, the supply having been washed overboard in a gale; in regard to the efficiency of the crew, they were as good as usual, though a little rougher; we consider ourselves lucky if we get ten good seamen among forty takeqon board; this is so with all the jines; since the albli- tion of apprenticing seamen have deteriorated; the best run of the Atlantic this voyage was 300 miles in twenty-four hours and thirty minutes; the second ofMicer was‘not in the chart room when the Ifelt the ship strike; the quarter- at the wheel when I passed on; I met the second officer at the fore part of the wheel- house ; he was coming from the bridge; I said to him, ir, Metcatf, you have been in collision; why Marsa not call me?” he said, ‘‘We are on the rocks. Examined by the Commissioner —From twelve noon to one o'clock P. M. on March 31, we steered west by north with two degrees westerly devia- uon; I think that was the course but am not cer- tain; the exact course would be west seven degrees south, and making seven miles th® dis- tance, at noon, to Sambro, and to the point where she struck would be about the same; I account for the fact that the ship made 170 miles in fourteen hours and a quarter while her log showed a maximum rate of 11 knots, solely by the current; the number of the ship's crew, including officers and men, was 146; I believe there were $11 passen- gers all told, of whom 35 were cabin; about 250 of of the: ‘ane aboard at Queenstown; of the 967 rsons on board I think 422 were saved; 1 Rota a certificate of competency as extra master, No. 22,216; 1 believe it is on board of the ship; we intended to get provisions at Halifax, but did not come here for that purpose ; besides the two lookout men and the quartermaster there were abont fifteen men in the watch when the ship struck; they must have been at work washing the decks, &c.; I believe the statement of Quar- ter-master Thomas, that he cautioned the second officer, to be false; no officer would allow such a breach of discipline; I made allowance for the current, but not enough; I sup- posed that the heavy westerly winds that prevailed during the winter would have neutralized the westerly set; Lexpected at daybreak to have had the land east of Halifax in sight. ‘This ended the testimony, and the court was ad- journed until Friday at three o’clock P, M., when judgment will be gi A VESSEL STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
