Thiers has given his consent to the proposed alliance between the republicans and im- yperialists as the only means of prevent- = ® restoration of the mouarchy, with ie Count de Chambord as Henri V. The jmew Republican party, now complete, is constantly freceiving new accessions to its ranks, Never- theless, the chances are so far in favor ff the monarchists, who have a cer- ‘tain majority in the Assembly, the entire jarmy, and an abundance of money with hich they have been bribing the weak and jambitious among the politicians, M. Rouher thas been promised a baronetcy immediately after the restoration, which may now be con- @idered as almost sure to come about soon jafter the Assembly convenes, That M. Thiers should have consented at last to the alliance with tthe Imperialists is regarded as an evidence of the wapid strides which the monarchical cause has foeen making and the urgent necessity for im- ‘mediate measures to preserve the now tottering ‘Republic. ‘The Life Struggle of the RepubliceAn Appeal to the United States for Aid. WaASsnINaron, Oct. 5, 1873. Private despatches received here to-night from Paris definitely state that the crisis of the Republic is rapidly approaching and that events may be pre- -elpitated at any hour. The republican leaders earnestly appeal to their friends in the United States to organize clubs and ‘call public meetings with the view of arousing fa- ‘vorable and active public sentiment in behalf of the republican cause in France as against the designs of the monarchists. The appeal was signed by republican leaders ‘whose position, it is said, entities them to speak ‘with authority worthy of great consideration. It is reported to-night as one of the most remark- able points in the situation of affairs in France, that an alliance has taken place between some of those who represent the socialists and working- men and Prince Jerome Napoleon, who is supposed to desire to prove himself more French and repub- Hcan than imperialistic. This idea is condemned by the strongest radical leaders, it is sald, and could only be considered by them as a possible means of securing votes in the Assembly against the monarchists, who claim to have a majority. The French Assembly is composed of 738 Depu- ties, consequently 370 would be a majority ifevery member were in his place and should vote.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— The generosity of the press and telegraph in communicating the contributions of our fellow citizens to the stricken inhabitants of Memphis and Shreveport is worthy of a response so prompt and liberal that before another day has passed the Howards, physicians and Sisters of Charity in those cities shall have ample means to employ whatever assistance and supplies they need for the perfect care of the sick. Terrible panic, which 1s sure to result from the neglect of the sick and the dying, can be prevented by the help we can give to the Howards. They must have the means to maintain a full force of acclimated or seasoned nurses and medical attendants, and to supply the delicate and costly kind of nourishment which tne sick and convalescent require. The terror that has extended to the towns beyond those that are smitten adds to the suffering. The people ot Northern Texas, who, for three weeks past have been sending food and_ sup- plies to Shreveport, ventured no _ nearer than a station four miles distant from the city, But tn each of the afflicted cities the best of phy- siclans and a few Sisters of Charity, and certain citizens who are too brave to flee, are working ceaselessly to mitigate suffering and save life, Let New York make such care of the sick as effective as possible by placing $5,000 more in the bands of the Howards at Memphis and $2,000 more at the disposal of the Howards at Shreveport. Not a dollar of such gifts.can be lost ner misused, Respectfully, E. . De PUSIFY THE STATE CAPITOL. pecneera aoeeeatoes Thurlow Weed and Corrupt State Sena- tors—The Twelfth District Receiving Especial Attention. NEw York, Oct. To THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING JOURNA! An Albany paper says :— The opponents of the renomination of I. V. Baker, Jr., have recently been re-enforced by Mr, Thurlow Weed, who has written the following let- ter, which is published in the Washington County Post and reproduced by the Troy papers :— New Yorx. My Dxar Sin—I am very much pleased to sce that you are making a manly efort to deteat the nomination of Baker, that nomination being one “not fit to be made.” It the escendants of the whigs whom I knew thirty Years ago are worthy of their inheritance, they will set their faces against representatives Who make ‘merchan- dise of their votes in the Legislature. 1 am shocked to learn that Canal Commissioner Barkley, whom I have s0 otten endorsed as an honest man, is supporting Baker. It my health would permit it, {should go to Troy and ap: peal personally to Messrs, * * * * and other triends to oppose a nomination which will bring discredit upon themselves and their district. Yours, very truly, THURLOW WEED, Senator Baker's friends are indignant, not énly over Mr. Weed’s aspersions, but over the fact, as well, that he should have assumed to tntertere av . +» 1873. REMARKS BY MR, WEED, Ithas been my habit for more than fifty years to “interfere,” both in the nominations and the elections, for and against good and bad men. It was owing in some measure to such ‘‘inter- ference’? that the interests and welfare of the State and the people, during that fifty years, have been promoted and protected by Gov- ernors Clinton, Seward, Fish, Hunt, King and Morgan. Tosuch “interference,” more recently, the nomination of Governor Dix was attributed, And still more recently such “interference” sug- gested the nomination of Benjamin D. Silliman for Attorney General, and aided that of Mr, Thayer, of Rensselaer, for Secretary of State, and 1 may add what is probably already pretty well known, that I have been earnestly “interfering” for two or three months in favor of the renomination of a Comp- troller who stands up honestly and fearlessly to protect the State Treasury against the rapacious desigas of individuals and “rings.”? The motives that prompt such ‘interference’? lead me, on the other hand, so far as my health and strength permit, to oppose the nomination and election of unworthy men; for a citizen who ts not as ready to oppose bad men as to support good ones discharges but half of the duty he owes to his country. In 1867, When Abner C, Mattoon was purchas- ing his Way into the Senate with the pee he had received for bribes in a previous Legisia- ture, 1 appedleu to the republicans of Oswego and Madison to reject an unworthy repre- sentative. Instead of exposing and denounc- ing Mattoon, the republican journals of that district turned their batteries upon me. Mattoon was elected. But the chastisement of his constitu: ents, as Well a8 my own Vindication, came in the Investigation disclosing briberies and corruption, which involved the Senator, his district and the State, in a common disgrace. History 18 now endeavoring to repeat itself in the district composed of Rensselear and Washing- ton. In the hope of averting other discreditable developmenis, | wrote a letter to an old personal and political friend in Washington county, which, though not intended for publication, found into print, and has provoked the censures nals at Troy and Albany, each imputing unworthy motives, ‘Two years ago Mr. Baker, whom! had not be- fore seen, appealed to me, as the son of an old Washington county friend, for & favorable notice in the Times of his nomination for Senator. ‘Thinking well of his father and having no reason to think otherwise of the son, 1 yielded to his re- aaest.

L ew THURLOW WEED. se his renomination, for MARSHAL BAZAINE’S TRIAL. —$ The Ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Army * of the Rhine To Be Fortmally Ar- raigned Before a Military Cowrt at Versailles To-Day. To-day,.according to the published instructiong of the French Minister of War, the audience cham- ber atthe Grau@ Trianon, Marie Antoinette’s his- toric residence at Wersailles is to be the theatre of @ great milita.y trial. Marshal Bazaine 1s at length to be treated to the fofuiula of a trial, which will atleast vary ti mouotony of a long, wearl- some imprisonment, (sough the resulfmay be of a character entirely opposite to the expressed hopes of his friends. The report was prepared. at the in- stance of the War Department by General cle Riviere and recentsy presented to the Duc d’Aumsié, who has been appolnted President ofthe Council of War. Marsnal Bazaine is accuse¢:— First—Of having capitalated with the encmy, and surrendered the tortress of Metz, of which he had the superior command, without having e%- hausted all the means o! defence. Seco f having, as the head of the army be- fore Metz, signed a capitulation in the open fleld, the result of which was to cause his troops to lay down their arms; and of not having, belore treat- ing verbally and by apes done everything which he was bound to do by duty and honor— offences provided tor and punished by articles 209 and 210 of the Code of Military Justice. These offences are puniwhavie with military degradation and death. Two hundred and seventy-two witnesses have been cited to appear for the prosecution, 129 of whom are drawn from the ranks of the arimy and of tuose who served under the accused in the Army of the Rhine and in Metz. Among the 143 others, nine women are to be called to give testimony against the Premier Marshal of Napoleon Iil, Marshals Canrobert and Le boeuf, Generals Changarnier, Palikao, Frossard, ComMnitres, Bourbaki,. Le £16, De l’Admirault, Jar- ras, Lebrun, Soleile, Desvaux, Boyer, De Laveau- copet, Henry Jeanningros, De Berckrin; Colonel Stoffel, Captain Garcin, and a number of other officers of various grades, are to appear also for the government. Among the civilians who will be called are MM. Gambetta, Jules Favre, De Kératry, Rameau, and the Maire of Versailles. In addition to these there are witnesses who are classed under the head of “mysterious,” such as a coachman, a nailmaker, and other humble persons who played their part in the great drama of Metz. It may be remarked that two members of the Court, the Duc d’Aumale and General de la Motterouge, belong to the in- fantry; one belongs to the staff, three to the engt- neers, and one to the artillery, The cavalry is therefore unrepresented. Marshal MacMahon, as President of the Republic, will not be called as a witness, which course would be contrary to official etiquette; but it is not im- probable that he may be asked to furnish informa- tion to the Court in person. If Prince Charles of Prussia and Count Moltke cannot be induced to appear personally their evidence will probably be taken at Berlin and submitted in writing to the Court. Itislikely that these illustrious German oficers will bear exculpatory witness for Bazaine, so farashe maybe charged with acting m any manner in concert with the enemy for interior and ulterior political purposes or otherwise. Shortly after the signing of the order for the trial by the Minister of War the military prisoner was asked if he had provided himself with the necessary counsel for his defence. He imme- diately informed General Pourcet, the government Commissaire, that he had chosen M. Machaud to defend him, and that the latter gentleman would duly inform himself of the contents of the dossier, filed for the information of the Council of War. The full report for the prosecution extends to 830 pages in 8vo, and it will take General Riviere nearly three days to read it tothe Court. In speaking of the trial the Constitutionnel states that the argu- ments of counsel, if not preceded by a general in- terrogatory, and do not treat of each particular in the accusation, will last six weeks, and three Months in the contrary case. About seventy wit- nesses have been called for the defence so far, and it is not known how many more may come forward betore the trial closes to add to its duration. An English correspondent, writing on this cause eélébre and the examination of witnesses by Riviere recently, says :— In the United Kingdom, where there seems to be such morbid sympathy tor accuse. persons, one can scarcely form an idea of the amount of inquisi- torial mental torture individuals charged with any offense have to undergo in France. In the hea liminary inquiry, or “Instruction,” as it is called, the prisoner is again and again daily cross- examined and confronted with every witness who may appear. The object seems to be the old me- dimval one, formerly accomplished by physical torture, to compel the accused by repeated returns to the charge to confess his crime or in some way to criminate hims-:li. I am convinced that the system in modern, as in old times, frequently suc- ceeds in making men acknowledge guilt, or, at leasi, @ legal degree of guilt, when they are alto- gether or retty innocent. I believe the unfortunate Marshal Bazaine, whether guilty or innocent, has been already made to suffer as great an amount of moral torture as would almost reform a London pickpocket. Mar- shal Lebeeut, too, has been recently examined as a witness in the case and has been so severely put through his facings as to render him scarcely mas- ter of his actions for several subsequent days. The ex-Minister of War spent three days at Versailles and then came to Paris for a short time for medi- cal aid, I believe he has now returned to his chateau at Moncel. He will be examined at the trial, and will be an important witn:ss, The court will consist of the following mem- bers:— President—Due d’Aumale. Assistant Judges—General de la Motte Rouge, Baron de Chabaud-Latour, General Tripier, M. Mar- timprey, Princetean and Martineau-Deschenez. On Thursday next the court will be adjourned, and Friday and Saturday will be devoted to the ac- cused, who will be formally examined. Witnesses 1m the case will be called on Monday next, THE LIBERAL REPUBLIOAN CONVENTION, Kingston, N.

THE LATE BISHOP OF COLORADO, Boston, Mass., Oct. 5, 1873, ‘The remains of the Right Rev. George M. Randall, Bishop of Colorado, arrived in this city this morn- ing, in charge of his son-in-law, Mr. ©, F, Morse; and were at once taken to St. Paul's Church, where they will lie in state until Tuesday, Through the day the remains were viewed by hundreds of the friends and admirers of the deceased.

To the machinations Sf this rep- resentative, set afoot by nis faction of coterte here, may be traced many of the peljtical schemes, measures and changes of late years bea ing upon the interests of this island, To him is attributed the “motives” which brought from Min- ister Zorrilla the declaration “that so long as an armed insurgent remaived m Cuba no reforms should be introduced into the Antilles.” But Ministries in Spain fall and change with abundant frequency, and all his efforts have been necessary to cope with the men of advanced ideas and the pressure of civilization. Nevertheless, he is ably (scbarging his duties in the interests of the party he tepresents, ‘The rep¥blicans here have sent two gentlemen to Madrid % urge the = NECESSITY OF REFORMS, but as they have but a very limited credit—the democracy here is poor—they lave not the slight- est “show to campete with the slave oligarchy, who command. may milltons, CAPTAIW GENERAL PIELTAIN coming to this island.as the first Captain General representing the Spsauish Republican government, aud new and strange to all the customs and “wire- pulling” of the tsland, she coterie of eligarchists hoped aud expected to make a tool of Captain General Pieltain; but fafifag in this, have deter- mained to effect his removat Private letters {rom Madrid, of which your correspondent has been favored with a view. indicate that this event—the removal of General Pieltain—will be an early one, and rumor already points out the 30th of this month as the day upon which he is to sail on his return to Spain. This 1s also said to have been brought about by the agent referred to, Don Manuel Calvo. The avalanche of rumors upon this subject which came upon your correspondent’s ears when closing his letter of last Saturday generally asserted that the Captain Generai had telegrapaed his resigna- tion to Madrid upon receiving a despatch trom the home government ordering him to suspend his de- cree of the 3d of September relerring to the sale of sequestered property. However, irom first class authority I am aseured that although no reply has yet reached the Captain General, his longer com- Inand over this island is but a question of a short time. He is thoroughly hated by the oligarchists, who have failed in bending him to their wisies. To those who understand the power wielded by this class, no doubt remains but that they can make or unmake the chie! authorities of this island. CAPTAIN GENERAL PIELTAIN’S POLICY, although sufliciently independent, has been one of conciliation, His want of talent has been keenly felt. He has firmly refused, in ail cases, the in- sinuations of the powertul oligarchy here, but tacitly, probably to avoid conflicts, he has ops posed all the projects of the republicans. Me is, therefore, disliked by the conservatis:s, and tie republicans have but little to say in his favor. Besides, the insurrection has grown in strength and audacity since his arrival, demoralization has augmented, gambling 1s openly carried on, and to such a degree that, in the late iairs held at Guaha- pacoa, Regia, Chorrera, &c., “skin game’ yam- bling tables reaped a rich harvest the open streets, THE COMING MAN. Commanding General Portilla, of the Cinco Villas, and General José de la Concha, Marquis of Havana, are the “favorites” of tne conservatives, and are pointed out as probable successors of Cap- tain General Pieltain. THE PUBLIC DEBT. A remarkable article is published in the Legali- dad, calling attention to the indifferent conduct observed by ttre committee appointed to formulate the project of an arrangement of the public debt, and pertinentily asking what kind o} patriotism animates its members, who can, with that indil- ference and contempt they exhibit towards the public, stoicaliy loox upon the gigantic propor- tions which exchange is takiug, and the Spread of distrust amid commercial circles. It says:— If the committee are unable to decide upon a scheme for the relief ot the Treasury why do they not at once contess their mcapacity and resign? What right have they to act thus towards a public pressed down by over- Whelming necessities and ‘vainly waiting their helping ni ry How do the patrician members of the commission un- derstand their duties as citizens? Do they not know that when they socene arge of that nature they should fulfil it or honorably retire, delaring that they cannot execute the delicate and urgent charge entrusted to them? ‘Their honor, duty and dignity demand such a course. The Legalidad concludes by asserting that a tempest of evils is about to burst upon us; and, however respectable the committee is, the public 1s still more so in its right to demand some action on their part, and solemnly charges the committee as directly responsible for the exigencies of the present time and the conflicts which may come unless they execute their charge or renounce It. FINANCIAL EMBARRASSMENTS. The recent suspensions among bankers and stock speculators in the United States have naturally reflected upon commercial circles of this city and created a feeling of distrust regarding many of our principal commercial houses, which gives rise to rumors calculated to throw discredit upon them, The excitement has been very intense Jor the past few days. Gold has reached a premium of sixty-five per cent; sterling and other exchange have gone up in proportion, many of the principal banking houses reiusing to sell. will be a general “smash.” ARMY ORDERS, The Secretary of War, in a general order, directs that every deserter shall forfeit all pay and allow- ances due at the time of ‘desertion; and, further, that no retained pay under the act of May 15, 1872, can accrue to the benefit of @ soldier who has de- serted at Lan time during his enlistment.

The in- dignant Inspector meanwhile managed to knotk Hughes down, and, while prostrate, he admin- istered a severe beating to the knight of the baton.
