FRANOE. WCount de Chambord Again Accepts the Throne of the Nation. Prussia Almost Paid Off—Great Increase in the Revenue—M. Henri Rochefort on Board 8 Convict Ship—M. Thiers a Chief Mourner for Odillon Barrot. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. VIENNA, August 8, 1873. “The Vorstadt-Zeitung reports that the Count de Whambord has accepted the throne of France, a formal tender of which was recently made him by B deputation of French legitimists, Royal Highness’ ’ Monarchical Principle ‘ mental Rule. Count de Chambord a short time since addressed che following letter, setting forth his principle of government for France and his opinion of the Republic, to a prominent friend of his dynasty :— 1 do not nesitate to reply frankly to the questions nvhich you have put ta me. France would be saved, and we should see her rise from her ruins stronger and greater than éver, if the real conditions of pafety were rightly understood. The country is weary of agitation. A secret instinct tells 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 prevent. For that the efforts to mislead and deceive the mation are redoubied. Your patriotic spirit revolts against this, and you grieve to tind so many generous minds becoming involuntary ac- complices of errors which they detest and of solu- tions which they dread. 1 lament this as much as ne do, but, like you, I protest against the estab- ishment of & state of things intended to prolong our misfortunes. It is impossible to be mistaken upon that point. The proclamation of the Republic in France has always been the commencement of social anarchy, opening a free fleld tor all kinds of greed and envy—all kinds of Utopias; and you could not under any pee take part in such ‘Daleful enterprise. I continually and without Qny reason declared that we now live in times when everything happens that is unex- pected, and the utmost ingenuity is displayed to fand one day an expedient to insure safety for to-morrow. If the country is so weak as to permit Atself to be drawn in by the currents which agitate it nothing can be less uncertain than the future. We are hastening towards a certain abyss, All attempts will be vain to establish a consoling dis- ‘tinction between that party of violence which romises peace to men while declaring war against Boa, and that more prudent, better disctplinea parey, arriving at its objects by indirect means, ut still striving for the same end. They differ In their language, but they pursue the same chimera; they do not enlist the same piel te they march under the same flag. They cannot fail to draw upon us the si To retain the illusion of an hone; gate after the sanguinary da: and the savage deeds of the second “Terror,” eaca 80 murderous for our brave army, is it not to for- wet too quickly the warning of Providence and to treat the lessons of experience with too -much contempt? It 18 at the moment when ®rance is awakening and asserting itself by @ great act of Jaith that it is 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 Yelt that any alliance is to be rendered impossible, and we are to condemn ourselves to a fatal isola- tion. No, that will not be. The Republic dis- juiets interests as much as it ‘docs consciences. can be but a provisional arrangement tor a longer or shorter period. Monarchy alone can give ‘true liberty, and bas no need to style itself con- wervative in order to reassure all honest people. It «dis these last that [ would reawaken to conscious- ness of their strength. The people in olden times Were accustomed to say, “Oh, if the King knew!" How just it would be to-day to say, ‘Oh, if honest men would.” Let us unceasingty fight against the unfaithiessness of some, the timid acqutescence of others. To the policy of fictions and falsehood let ‘us always and everywhere oppose our open and un 1d policy. As @ whole, France is Uatholic and monarchical. It is for us to caution it against errors, to point out tne rocks and to direct it to- wards the port. I trust that I have never failed in ‘that sacred duty, and no one will ever be able to seduce me from my path. I have not one word to retract, not an act to regret, tor they have all been Inspired by love of my country, and I insist eee: my share of responsibility in the advice which I give to my frien The day of triumph is stili one of God’s secrets FL have confidence in the mis- Declaration of and Govern- e of France. Europe has need of it, the Papacy need of it, and, therefore, the oid Christian mation cannot peris! HENRI. Payment of War Indemnity to Prussia— The Third Milliard of Its Last Quar- ter.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. TRIESTE, August 8, 1873, An attempt was made to-day to assassinate the Prince Nicholas the First, Hospodar of Monte- “megro. The Prince was severely wounded in the face. Prince Nicholas the First. The Prince Hospodar, of Montenegro, Prince ‘Nicholas the First, whose life has been so dan- @erously threatened by assassins, was born in the year 1840, His sudden death at this particular moment would tend to complicate the politics and diplomacy of the East, as Well as the relations of the great outside nations hereto, in the most serious manner. Montenegro is a little country situated at the West of Turkey, @nd enclosed between Albania and the Austrian Province of Cattaro. The surface is 61 miles from orth to south, and 29 miles from east to west. Its population does not exceed 120,000 souls. The heroic struggies sustained by the Montenegrins Against the Turks are matters of history, and Prince Nicholas had hardly ascended the throne in 1860 when he had to fight in person, at the head of his people, against his neighbours. He was in no way prepared for such a life, being at that time a pupil in the College Louis-le- Grand, at Paris. Moreover, his cousin, Prince Danilo 1, recently married and still quite young, was then on the throne, and did not seem at ali disposed to Jeave the place vacant. One day, however, news arrived that the latter had been assassinated, and ‘the collegian, Petrovich, became all at once Prince Nicholas {, He left the French college and went to igive his people @ new constitution and code of ws which he certainly had not prepared at wwchool. At the same time he aefended himself heroically, with the aid of his 20,000 men, against the Turks, and forced them to respect him. The Prince was at Rome just lately with his wife, the ‘Princess Miitne, and his two daughters, the Prin. ®enses Ljubicha and Stana.

WASHINGTON, August 8, 1873. German-Americans as United States Representative in Germany. The State Department has been thrown into feverish excitement over the announcement that nO appointments to Germany of a diplomatic or consniar nature will be made of persons born in that country, and that this policy has been adopted at the express request of Bismark, who wishes to check the enormous emigration to this country. The Secretary of State to-day authorized the Publication of the following :— Foreign governments exercise no influence over the policy of the government, and, least of all, would an attempt to exercise such influence avail ia the State pepe emens A general rule has ioug revailed and been acted upon by several admin- trations of not seiecting consuls trom the natives of the country to which they are sent. As nearly all of our consuls and vice consuls in Germany, in the German Empire, are naturalized citizens from that country, the denialis not ac- cepted by the applicants for vacancies, as con- sistent with the practice of the Department here- tofere. Jadge Thomas Settle, of North Carolina, arrived here to-day. He says that the result of the election in his State yesterday will show a remark- able affiliation between the whites and blacks on the State coustitutional amendments which were submitted for ratification yesterday. The princi- pal opposition to the adoption of the amendments lay in the colored element of the eastern districta of the State. The issues were of a purely local nature, the question of race being wholly ignored. A Hot Reply from General Spinner to a Cashier’s Cool Request. General Spinner yesterday addressed the follow- ing letter to the cashier of a New England bank :— Sir :—Your letter of the 1st inst. was received yesterday by Adams’ Express Company. ‘There came enclosed, as therein stated, two United States legal tender notes, one of the denomination of $600 and the other of $100, Both these notes are entirely new, having uever even been folded, and are periectly clean, Hoge EG spot or Speck. For some bad purpose, probably, a fraudulent one, with a view to the raising of other United States notes of smaller denominations to the value of these, more than one-tenth of each has been scissored out witha clean cut. Under the old regulations of the Treasury Department that existed for more than ten years, these two notes could have been redeemed for only nine-tenths of their face value; sixty dollars would, under the old rules, have been deducted for the mutilations, These rules, uniortunately for the government, have been lately modified so that this enalty cannot be enforced. Under this more han geperous modification you claim to have returned to you new United States notes of like denominations under the government contract at the expense of the United states. The charge to the government by the express com- pany for transportation both ways would be one dollar and twenty cents, For the dog-days I con- sider this request decidedly cool. First you, or your chent, wilfully mutilate clean new notes, and then you ask the government not only to replace them with other new and unmutilated notes, to be in their turn, for aught I know, mutilated and returned with a like request for other new notes, but to pay the expense and run the risk of transportation both ways. This, to my mind, is piling it on pretty steep. You not only burn with a hot tron, but you ask the burned one to pay for heating the poker. If you will turn tothe fifty-eighth section of the National Bank- ing law you will find that if any person had treated two of your bank notes in the way these two United States notes have been. you could recover by action in anyfoourt hav- ing jurisdiction $50 for each of the mutilations. Now, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the nder. Ought mot the perpetrators of these mu- lations be made to respond in like manner? Under the circumstances it has been concluded that the notes be retained at any rate until the 1eces that were cut out of them shall be returned this office, and until the apparent traudulent or malicious mutilation shall have been satisfactorily explained to the Department, Our European Squadron. In view of the present disorganized condition of affairs in Spain the vessels comprising the Euro- pean squadron, under command of Rear Admiral A. Ludlow Case, have been ordered to rendesvous in Spanish ports. The Wabash, flagship of the squadron, is now en route to Cartagena, and the Congress and Wachusett will follow. The Shenan- doah ts already at Cadiz. The Alaska, how in com- mission at Brooklyn, will sail in about ten days to join the European squadron. Interesting to Believers in Civil Service Reform. The following executive order has been issned :— WasHINaToN, D. C., August 5, 1873. The Civil Service, at its’ session at Washington which terminated June 4, 1873, recommended cer- tain furtner rules to be prescribed by the President for the government of the civil service of the United States, These rules as herewith published are approved, and their provisions will be enforced as rapidlyas the proper arrangements can be By the President, HaMILToN FisH, Secretary of State. The Vienna Exposition Scandal. The full report of the Special Commis- sion on the abuses of the United States branch of the Vienna Exposition has been received here. The conclusions are the re- verse of complimentary to General Van Buren and his confidential assistant, General Mayer, and some of their subordinates. Pleasant Times at the State Department. The government has received no official com- munication from Great Britain relative to the Manitoba difficulty, and, therefore, contrary to re- port, has taken no action whatever in the prem- ises. Nor has the government received any communication frem the Spanish representatives concerning the action of the United States oficers in relation to the protection of the Virginius. Highway Robbery In the Rocky Moun- tat Special Agent Wiokizer, of the Post Office Depart- ment, reports from Salt Lake, July 31, that highway robbery on the main routes in the Rocky Moun- tains is becoming quite frequent, On the 9th ult. robbers attacked the mail coach on the Montana route, near Pleasant Valley, and took $19,000 in treasure irom Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, but did not molest the mails.

Execution of Hardy Tones, a North Carolina Negro, ._—— ——_— DREADFUL BUNGLING. The Unfortunate Criminal Slowly Strangled. History of the Murder of Robert Miller. NEwBERN, N. ©., August 8, 1873, ‘The terrible but speedy mode of executing con- demned felons so successfully used in New York was for the first time brougnt into requisition here to-day in the case of Hardy Jones, colored, who ex- plated the crime of murder with his life. Set into the wall of the Jail building, at an altitude of about thirty feet from the ground, was a heavy beam, through which ran, by means of pulleys, the rope, with the halter at the end. To the other extremity of this rope was attached a 400 pound weight, rest- ing on a drop and suficiently high when let fall to jerk the criminal ten feet high into the air. The plan was conceived in @ just spirit of humanity and with a laudable disposition to leasen the tor- tures of the condemned wretch, but its execution was bungled and barbarous, owing toa lack of ex- perience on the part of the officials who conducted this legal tragedy. WARDY'S CONTEMPT FOR LAW. ‘The crime for which Hardy Jones paid the death Penalty occurred as far back as the 1st of February, 1872. A few days previous to that date Hardy, who is over fitty years of age, bad been arrested on acharge of larceny, and was brought before A. J. Brown, a Justice of the Peace, to be dealt with as his offence demanded. That iunctionary of the law baving satisfied himself of Hardy's guilt, re- quested him to give bond for his appearance at the next term of the Superior Court; but the prisoner, having neither fear of the law nor respect for its Magisterial representative, sprung towards the door, ran of and effected his escape in the very presence of both officials and spectators. The magistrate then, in the absonce of the regular constable, deputized one John M. Thorpe to arrest the fugitive and lodge him safely tn jail, Ou that ‘ata! 1st of February Hardy Jones came to the Justice’s house with a view probably to compromise the matter; but Thorpe, the con- stable pro tem., being present, arrested him and summoned as a posse comitatus Robert Miller and Henry Bennett to assist him in marching the prisoner to the jail in this city. Hardy offered no resistance and started with his captors, peaceable and apparently resigned to the sad circumstances of the case. They had proceeded about half way without any incident of note occurring, when Robert Miller, one of the posse, said he wanted water, HE MURDERS MILLER. They halted at a spring, and Miller laid down his gun, preparatory to drinking, when Hardy seized the weapon and cried, in a nervous and excited manner, “Now, now, now!’ Miller, being the only one unarmed, turned and caught the gun; but Hardy, from sheer desperation, and with great force, jerked it trom him and shot him through the arm and body. Mardy then ran off, but was speedily recaptured. Miller died on the 9th of Feb- ruary. At the Fall term of the Superior Court the prisoner was tried and found guilty, but an appeal to the Supreme Court was granted. That tribunal affirmed the judgment of tne Court below, and in June last Hardy was sentenced to be executed to- day. CURIOUS SPECTATORS NEAR THE SCAFFOLD. Early this morning the streeta and approaching alleys to the jail were thronged with crowds curious and expecting to witness the dying agonies of afel- low creature, whose crimes had consigned him to such an ignominious death. In this they were happily deprived the demoralizing and awful spectacle by the laws of the State, which require executions to be private. Only a few, who succeeded in effecting @ lodgment im the branches of high trees or a ‘on the surrounding house tops had their desires gratified. A limited number of persons only were admitted by tickets from the Sheriff, and these included witnesses and members of the press. THE OULPRIT’S LAST MOMENTS. ani J the morning the prisoner’s cell was visited by several People, among whom were three colored preachers and the reporters of the local hogs allof whom remained until the fatal hour ad arrived. In the conversation that took place the condemned man said that he did not mean to kill Miller, and that he was very sorry for it; that he felt at peace with God and man and he bore malice towards none, and, to use his own expres- sion, he telt “sort of tolerable.” Almost the en- tire morning was spent in devotional exercises, including singing, in which the prisoner heartil; joined, and by which he seemed to be mucl affected. After uttering the prayer he exclaimed :— “Have mercy upon me, a sinner, oh, Lord! Thank the Lord! Oh, save! oh, save me |’ All this time the prisoner was seated in a corridor fronting the cell in which he had been so long confined, and at times he trembled and shook, and, judging by the ghastly and terrified expression of his counte- nance, he was in great mental acny, He was un- attended by any living relative, his wife, the taith- ful partner of his life, having died heartbroken since his confinement in jail, When the tragic preparations were finally complete, at fifteen minutes ast eleven o'clock, the Sheruf propounded to the condemned man the question, “Hardy, are you ready?” to which he re- lied, ima tremulous and failing voice, ‘Yes, sir.” le slowly arose from bis seat, and, extending his hand, took a last grasp of the hands of the preach- ers and others around him, and bidding them all an eternal farewell. SOLEMNLY HE WAS LED PORTH into the jail yard, attended by the Sheriff and his deputies, and, arriving under the ominous timber protruding from the wall, with its pendant hang- man’s noose, he viewed it curiously and with an aspect of the most intense terror. The Sherimthen proceeded to read the death warrant, with that sort of impressive solemnity that ever starties under such awful circumstances,. At the expiration of this legal ceremony a last prayer was offered wp, and this was followed by singing a few hymns, which lasted nearly fifteen minutes. Within the enclosure, among the tew spectators, there was perfect silence. The unfor- tunate criminal, who now tottered and shook vio- Jently, was placed in position under the extended beam, and the noose was adjusted in a loose man- ner. Following this the executioner’s hood was drawn over the head and face, and Hardy Jones saw the last of this bright and beautiful day. In another instant, but to the spectators it seemed several minutes, $0 great was the agony of sus- pense, the death signal was given and at thirty minutes past eleven the body o! THE CONDEMNED MAN WAS SHOT UP into the air fully ten feet, rebounding back four feet, and then swinging to and iro with a motion that made the spectacle more horrible and ghastly. The neck was not broken by either of the two ter- rible jerks it had received, though the body remained so perfectly motionless for a moment that the impression prevatioa among the witnesses that he was dead. After that time there were a few convulsive movements and then ail became still. The knot had not been properly placed, and thus there was another victim of legal strangula- tion, It wags twenty-two minutes before the attending physicians pronounced lile extinct, but the body was allowed to hang forty minutes, when it was cut down, placed in a coffin, and by direction of the Sheriff, interred in the Potters’ Field.
