FRANCE. M. Thiers’ Oplnion of the Duty and Rights of the Nation The Country Should Be Made the “‘Sov- ereign Arbiter” by a Dissolu- tion of the Assembly. Panis, May %, 1874. Ex-President Thiers to-day received @ depu- tation from the Department of the Gironde, and, in reply to their address, said the monarchy which he was overthrown for not establishing, was impossible. The conservative republic alone could Teorganize and pacify France. He hoped that alter its recent experience the Assembly would gamit the necessity of making the country the Sovereign arbiter. If it persisted in sitting while powerless to attain any definite result it would exceed the bounds of reason. Unable to forma government the majority had lost the means and Tight to govern, He therefore expected a disso- lution, which ‘would rehabilitate the Assembly in the eyes of the nation. The electors would be Jess wise and moderate the longer dissolution was delayed. REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

PANAMA SENATORS PUGNACIOUS, There is nothing particular from the interior of tne Republic. Congress is still in session. There was a row in the Senate between two of the Senators from Panama city, which has given rise to @ good deal of talk here. Some remarks that General Correoso had made in the Senate offended Mr. Augustine Arias, the other Senator irom this State, which the latter resented by strik- ing Mr. Correoso with his umbrella on leaving the Senate Chamber. General Correoso sent Mr. Arias &@ challenge, which was avoided by the latter apologising to General Correoso, The fact that General Correoso had been President of this State and headed the revolution against the party to which Mr. Arias was attached explains somewhat the origin of such a hostile demonstration on the part of Mr. Arias, Nicaragua. This Republic is reported quiet, and chiefly oo- cupied about the election of a new President, Honduras. The National Convention of Honduras was till in session. Ex-President Arias and his Minister were still in prison, Peru. ‘The news from Lima to the 6th of May relates chiefly to the celebration of the eighth anniversary of the 2d of May, 1866, memorable for the victory seine by the batteries of Callao over the Spanish ee!

Seige Official Declaration by the Republic of Satisfaction for the Magee Outrage. {From the Panama Herald, May 16.) The latest information we have respecting the painful occurrences at San José de Guatemala proves that the intense indignation of the Presi- dent and his government would be excited and has so been expressed to Mr. Scholfield, the Brit- ish Chargé d’Affairs, as wiil be seen by official in- formation we publish on the subject. From a most reliable source in San Jos¢ we have been informed that if Gonzales does not die of his wounds he will be sentenced to receive many more lashes than be intended to inflict on Mr. Magee, and will finally | be shot. Subjoined we give a translation of official | correspondence between the government and Her | Britannic Majesty’s representative on the sub- ject:— THE CENTRAL AMERICAN AMENDE. GuariMALA, April 25, 1874, To HENRY SCHOLFIELD, isq., Her Britannic Majes- ty’s Chargé d’Affaires in Central America :— Srmr—At two P. M. yesterday you were pleased to inquire for me at the Ministry of Foreign Rela- tions in order to communicate a telegram which | you had just received, which stated that John agee, Esq., Her Britannic Majesty's Vice Consal, had been put in prison by order of the Command- ante of the port of San José, called José Gonzale: 4 Spaniard in the employ of the government. immediately took you to the President of the Re- public, who, aiter having heard what you had to communicate to him, instructed the Minister of War to advise General Gregorio Solares, who was in Escuintla, in order that he shot t once, pro- ceed to San José, and set Mr. Magee at liberty, and ordering, ac the same time that Commanaante Gonzales should present himself before the gov- ernment and give account of his conduct, and if he had tterrupted communications py telegraph to bring him prisoner to this capital. ‘The unjustifiable act under consideration impels me to address myself to you, in anticipation of | any claims whatever, to assure you that occur- rences so irregular and punishable in their na- ture, have filled my government with sorrow and indignation, and recognizing tue gravity of what has occurred, it has, since the first in- timation it had of the circumstances, acted with all the energy and interest demanded by tne Irtendly relations which have and do exist be- ween the government of Her Britannic Majesty and that of Guatemala. You, yourself, are witness of the anxious and justifiable conduct of my gov- ernment, and how much it has deplored the out- Tage committed on the Consular Agent of Her Britannic Majesty. My government, sir, which de- sires to culuvate the most friendly relations with all foreign Powers, and especially with that of Great Britain, is in every Way ready to give every satisiaction on account of this deplorable affair, More than this, it wishes to give further proof that it neither does nor can consent that any foreigner who comes to the Republic shall be injured in his person or property; but, on the contrary, that they should enjoy the hospitality of this country and have all the guaran- tees and securities that are to be found in the most civilized nations in the world. In this understanding you may be sure that the authors of the criminal aet reierred to will be punished | with ali the rigor of the law. My government is Teady to give to the government of Her Britannic | Majesty the fullest satisfaction, as weil as make reparation for the damage done, as soon as tt is in possession of all the requisite information, In addressing myself to you on so painful a sub- ject as the avove, I have the honor of subscribing myself, with the most distinguished consideration, your obedient servant, MARCO SOTO. DESPATOH TO EARL DERBY. The following is a translation of the telegraphic despatch sent to Lord Derby by Mr. Schoifield, the representative of Her Britannic Majesty in Central America, in the absence of Mr. Corbett, and which we insert in order to show the upright | and energetic conduct of the government of Guatemala in this affair :— MR, SCHOLFIELD TO LORE DERBY.

OUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL AS- SEMB The Quostion of Organic Union with the Presbyterian Church. 4 Sr. Louis, May 24, 1874, In the Cumberland Presbyterian General Assem- bly, in session at Springfleld, Mo., yesterday, a communication of the Evangelical Union of Scot- land was received and ordered to be placed among the archives of the Church. The Scottish delegates were expected to arrive last night. Dr. Huyes, delegate from the Presbyterian As- sembly in session in St. Louis, was announced, and the assembly arose to receive him. He made a brief address, tn which ne alluded to the efforts that had been made to effect an organic union of the two bodies and regretted that the committees appointed for that purpose had thought best that negotiations should continue another year. The Committee on Organic Union with the Pres- byterian Church preseuted a report which was made the special order for Monday. ‘The Rev: Dr. Dewitt suvmitted a report of the Publication Board, which represented every branch o! the work in a prosperous condition, ex- cept the Quarterly Theological Medium, which may be suspended unless better supported.

He made no allusion to the recent trial. Aiter the services were concluded a collection was taken up to pay off the debt of the church, and the entire amount— over $20,000—was raised in fiiteen minates, OBOP BEPORT. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 24, 1874. The following is an abstract of the leading infor- mation published by the National Crop Reporter to-day :—“Keturns now being received ‘rom corre- spondents'in the cotton States, the full deductions from which will be published next week, indicate that in all those States except Texas the area planted in cotton this season is considerably less | than the area planted last season, while the acre- age of corn is about correspondingly increased.

Exertions of Harvard University for the Intercollegiate Race. THE SIX OARSMEN SELECTED. | System of Training the Crew for the Contest. Boston, May 22, 1874. Just eight weeks hence the columns of the HERALD Will contain tne records of the intercolle- giate race of 1874, Whether the blue of Yale will repeat its victory of last year or the crimson of | Harvard obtain satisfaction for its not dishonor able defeat of the same period and land at the finish the triumphant six, or whether the lavender of plucky Wesleyan, the royal purple of ambitious Williams, the green and white of Trinity or the favorite crews of Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia or Princeton be awarded the coveted prize—these things, in the old Homeric phrase, are in “the laps of the gods.” Speculation 1s rife enough at pres- ent, though only commenced, and with this expres- sion of the speculative spirit there is a deal of downright, earnest work among the several gen- tlemen more immediately interested in the result of tne great aquatic event, which amounts to convincing proof that Lake Saratoga on the 16th of July next, will witness the grandest strug- gle ever decided by amateur oarsmen, From the harbor of New Haven to the headwaters of the Connecticut, and trom the tiny Hoosic tu the placid course on the De!aware and Raritan Canal, the University oars are in practice striving for aquatic prowess. Foremost among the number nd upon whose colors have fallen the honors of nine victories in fourteen high University wran- glerships, is Harvard, and among whose boating men to-day there is the developed spirit to justify the belief that in the contest so near at hand she | may be first at the fnigh, or, at all events, ‘“‘some- where not very bad.” OFFICERS OF THE CLUB. ‘The officers of the Harvard University Boat Club at this time are:—President and Captain, Wendell Goodwin, '74, of Jamaica Plain, Mass.; Vice Presi- dent, Frank S. Watson, '75, of Milton, Mass.; Sec- retary, Walter J. Otis, Law S. S., of Chicago; Treas- urer, George F, Roberts, A. B.; Assistant Treas- urer, Henry S. Van Duzer, '75, of Newburg, N. Y. This Board compose the Executive Committee. Regular mectings are held on the second Monday of each academic year. SELECTING THE SIX. Hardly had the fall term at Harvard commencea when Captain Goodwin vegan his work, which will not end until the afternoon of the great race. Un- der his special supervision the plan of providing for this year’s University clew was mapped out and the preliminaries arranged. Men went into the gymnasium and began to perspire over pulleys, clubs, dumbbells and rowing weights, for Harvard holds that to have a crew in good condition for Spring rowing, “regular gymnastic exercise, run- ning out of doors (except, perhaps, during the coldest weather) and early hours,” must not be neglected, The Captain was fortunate in having left to build up the present crew, four of '73's six, these being Morse, Bacon, Dana and himself, so the time and trouble required to select the addi- tional two was materially reduced. Yet to find the desired likely and hopeiul men, who, possess- ing all the qualifications neccasary to begin the work, would expend the time and devote them- selves to the arduous duty of practice and train- ing, Was pot an easy task. At last the vacant seats were filled in the persons of Walter J. Otis, who pulled starboard stroke in the last Harvard Freshman raee, anda green hand, Wm. R, Taylor, of Jefferson, N. Y., whose physique and fondness for aquatic pastimes, made him the fortunate man. With these Harvard has decided to take her chances of adding another to the long list of vic- tories in the college regattas, the tenth, a con- summation devoutly to be wished. THEIR POSITIONS. Tastructing the new candidate for aquatic honors then began and was carried out persist- ently and systematically until all the rouguer edges were worn off, and then ~Where shall the new men go?’’ was the question, as it had been de- cided that the tried men—Morse, Goodwin, Bucon and Dana—should retain their places, which they | had previously filled to the satisiaction of the University. Therefore, with the old hands in the alter seats, Otis and Taylor were placed at the bow and port bow oars respectivel, What with work soon after the ice had disappeared irom the Charies River—tne Harvard’s rowing and trainin, course, between the boathouse in Cambridge an Boston, & distance of three and # half miles, with the return, making seven miles—the men bad some- what become used to the labor incidental to the | grand preparation when they commenced regular practice, about the 24th of March last, since which time they have been on the river once a day. Experience and ability have been brought to bear in this work, and the anxiety now prevail- ing that ultimate success may be attained is in- tense. Harvard has laid down many good and requisite rules forthe turning out of oarsmen | capable of representing her, and the Kxecutive Committee have declared it as a tundamental principie, aba paramount to all other things, ‘that the Captain must be obeyed in Sores ticular, ana he must enforce his authority, ere may, perhaps, be better oarsmen than himselt under his control, and he may and should ask their aavice privately; but he must rule them strictly and firmly. ‘Tue more bis influence is telt by every | member the better the crew will be.” IN THE PRACTISING BARGB. ‘These selected six good men and true, as I saw them stripped to the buff an evening or two since in their new practice barge, 40 ieet by 30 inches, coming up to the float on an “easy,” alter a pull Bow—Walter J.

Dana, who pulls stroke in the shell, is the oldest aud best informed oar in Harvard. During hs course he has found boating a pleasant and profitable study, and, by a judicious economy of Lime, given it that attention which has so often | sent the University representatives pleasantiy along the royal road to victory. In years he is the senior of all the rest in the boat, and, te de season after season he has done his regular train- ing with those selected for the great races, he is to-day the hardest working man in the practice barge. Never flagging, always in good spirits, full of heart and nerve and the embodiment of a erfect gentleman, his value is beyond all price. r. Dana 18 five feet ten and a half inches in height, and weighed a few days since 161 pounds— three more than his weight last year in the race at Springneld. From this avoirdupois he ‘will not materially change during the hard work to come, as his regular training commenced last autumn and has since aniaterruptedly continued, which his bright eye fully attests. is action in the boat is worthy of imitation, as it combines skill, beauty and power. His muscular develop- ment is all that is required jor the trying position of stroke, and when the time arrives jor a terrivie struggle, an occasion that tries men’s muscles and constitutions, you will find Dana on hand ready for the tussle, wile his cool judgment and spiendid inck will matertally aid his jellows. Mr. Dana ad the brains to make @ good oarsman and has | used his faculties to some advantage. He was one | of the delegates to the annual college boating con- vention, and, it may not be inappropriate to add, has been appointed orator of the class ol '74. Daniel C. Bacon, the next oar to Dana, is from the crew of 1873, and there is not a man in this town, I Imagine, better developed than this same quiet collegiau. He pulls with great strength and does his work in @ manner that shows he is in earnest and not inclined to slouch, Bacon feels that more than the usual attention should be paid to the crew this year in the matter of train- | Ing and practising, as the victory will be well worth the hard work reanired to attain it, and | then he believes that about ume that old Harvard, scored another point to the number of winning games. There are many and good jndges, too, who put Bacon down | for the strongest man in the barge, while I | know he is as lively as @ bouncing girade in bis movements, He is the youngest oar. Wendell Goodwin, sitting at the port waist oar and captain of the crew, is the biggest man in the | boat, being 6 teet, 2 inches in his shoes and | weighing, two or three days since, 179 pounds. Captain Goodwin has done much hard and capital | work since in college and kept up his end in the | race of '73 in a manner demonstrating hts ability | to be at the head of such @ crew and assuming the | rest upon the dution are end. shoulders O14 suck an oficial, | hag undergone change, less. Upon bis watchfuiness depends the improve- ment of the crew. Many good men’s work is Marred by the neglect of the captain in overiook- ing *mall matters that should come unaer his obser- vation and be understood by him, but Goodwin is equal to the tusk belore him, while, I understand, he keene in good bamor with ali his men and they in good hamor with each other, In the boat and at his work be does not slouch, but 1s stiff and well within himself and at all times is trying to grow more polished and more effective with the oar. It is the heignut of his ambttion to land this crew, taree of whom are about to retire from the college, the winners in the race tocome; and if he does there will be great rejoicing in the nearta of Haroard’s sons, far and near. Henry L. Morse puils starboard waist and is also of the last year’s crew, @ tried man with the oar. In his labor there are earnestness and euthustasm, which stop at nothing but a triumphant issue. He doesn’t want Harvard to be near the head, but up head, number one, first at the finisa. This jeeling i# a strong weapon and works wonders dasly, Mr. Morse is twenty-one years of age, s1x feed in height, and lowered the beam aday or two ago at 170 pounds, ‘This weight is about ten pounas more than his avoirdupois in last year’s race, but it will be reduced as the training progresses, Re is of the large, muscular kind, with @ tendency to lay on flesh, but is easily brought to the right point under discipline. Next in order is William L, Taylor, the “green ‘an” at the business. It would seem that the se- lection is & good one, for the gresliman is magnif- cently proportioned, of the right heignt, and wants to excel. He never sat in a racing boat be- fore a few weeks ago, I am told; but there are hopes that he will turn out an excellent oarsman, Taylor has @ quiet face and a determined expres- sion, which are the sure criteria that when the time comes for action he will respond with all his heart aud soul and with all bis muscle. Walter J. Otis, of the Lawrence scientific School, Sits at the bow, and upon whose shoulders fall much of the praise or blame attending the victory or defeat of the racing crew. Mr. Otis was one of ‘733 freshman six defeated at Springtield, but has always been looked upon as a trusty Oarsman and one possessing the requisite coolness and confidence to sit at this post and as- sume the work of steering a winning course in a terrible tic struggle, such as this will un- doubtedly be. Harvard did miserably in this par- Uoulag at Springtie!d last year, and her friends do not wAnt the biunder repeated; so Mr. Otis is pre- paring bimseli, and so soon as he arrives at Sara- toga und is in good working order will begin to locate his landmarks, TRAINING THR CREW. The art Of training the crew at Harvard is well understood, In the suggestions which have been ublished under the auspices of the Executive Jommittee of the University Club it is held that the subject “resolves itself into two heads—the treatment of diet, exercise, and the rules of health, which is the athletic portion, and comes un- der the oarsman’s duty to himself.” At present the diet of the crew is very generous, They do not as yet board together, but shall soon, probably. within a week or two. The matter of what's pest to eat and what should be avoided ts left, in the case of the older members, much to themselves; but advice is given to the young men, those who have never before gone through the ordeal. The crew do not walk together, neither is it made in- cumbent that they shall ubstain wholly irom tonics. ‘This applies to the present, but the rules which are followed the last month before the race are some- thing like the annexed, which are taken irom a pamphiet treating of “Rowing at Harvard” :;— ° GBTTING UP AND BREAKFAST. ‘The crew get up at hali-past six o'clock punctu- ally. Every man takes w spunge bath all over and rubs himseif ary with a Turkisn towel. The dress- ing is done rapidly and all are reaay for breakiast by seven, ‘his consists of broiled meat, beef- steak, mutton chop or chickens; eggs, scrambled, poached or soft boiled; bread and butter; oat meal, cracked wheat, boiled hominy or rice, two cups of tea or cocoa made of the snelis of the cocoa, and a glass or two of milk. A few strawber- ries or & banana, with a glass of water, make a good begiuning to the breakfast. Alter the morn- ing meal a short walk or stroil 1s customary. At ten o’clock the crew meet for a row of not more than two miles. The time should be steady, and the crew must not be tried or at all distressed in the morning. During the week before the race the morning row offers a good opportunity for practising spurts and starts. In hot weather the crew must be back before eleven o'clock, for a hard row under the noon sun is very likely to wither a crew, as it Were, and put them back several days. ‘This 1a common sense, and those who think tuat an hour’s grimy sweating and tugging at the end of a twelve-loot oar when the thermometer in the sun is about 120 degrees will do well to take heed, DINNER. Dinner is at one o'clock, but if the crew feel hungry before that time it ts good to take a light lunch of beef tea, mide from the meat, and a biscuit, or a cold beef sandwich and a giass.oi ale, about half-past eleven o'clock, If lunch is taken at all it must be taken regularly every day. The usual dinner consists of roast beef or boiled mutton of the beat quality and cut, rare out well cooked, and sometimes helped out with alittle iresh fish or chicken. No con- diments are allowed of any kind, excepting mus- tard, and no pickles; but vinegar of best quality can be used sparingly. As to vegetables, it is a great mistake to suppose that all except potatoes are unwholesome; on the contrary, @ certain amount of vegetable acid is a necessary ingredient in every healthy diet, nor can digestion be per- formed perfectly and easily without its presence. 1tis required by a law of man’s nature and con- stitution, and bread and potatoes do not sufficiently supply it. Rice, potatoes and some one other veg etable, varying from day to day, such as tomatues asparagut ogee parsuips or cooked celery are served. The potatoes must be old, new ones having ofven played vad tricks. Of the other veg- etabies, besides rice, tomatoes are the best and most commonly eaten. Lettuce, undressed or with @ Very little vinegar and sugar, is often good and is slightly sporific. The bread should be two days old and brown or Graham, with the bran of the wheat, is oftener used than white. All sorts of pasiry must be given, but certain light puddings are harmless—an excellent substitute. Dried Jruits, as cherries, figs, &c., make a pleasant des- sert. WATER AND BRER. Water {is drunk in moderate quantities and in very small swallows: The best rule is to take no more t is necessary, but no one should make himself uncomfortable. ‘The question of using beer is much discussed at Harvard. Some have not touched it at ail and the others only when needed asatonic. The oniy suggestions that have been made in the matter are—it used at all, the beer should be moderate in strength, not new and sweet, nor acid irom age. One pint per man is amply suilicient. {ne crew do not sit more than three-quarters of an hour at any of their meals. During the afternoon they keep pretty quiet, but generaily take a short saunter, if the sun is not too hot. No one is allowed to goto sleep during any part of the day, as it prevents sleep at night, when it is most beneficial. Excessive lounging is avoided; a quiet game of quoits or croquet keeps ee Oey in good condition, and reading is eacour- age IN GENERAL. Harvard's method of training has rules whose stringency are applied more to the ends of regular- ity im hours and temperance in quantity thanto an arbitrary and closely exclusive system of choice and rejection of articies. Everyvody wants to know Harvard’s stroke. In the past they have had a taking style, backs all straight and in periect ling arms shooting for- ward in most exact time, and all that; but Harvard found out at last that it didn’t push the boat along as last as some of their opponents who hadn't any style atall. So in tnis year’s practice there has been @ radical change from that of last, and Harvard will try to lengthen out her stroke making it more effective at the beginning, an avoiding an exhaustive rush forward, which at Springfeld the crew were called upon to make. The recovery, formerly accomplished by jaunch- ing the whole irame forward from the hips by what was very prettily termed “an elastic leap,” and now there is not so much elasticity observable in the leapit process. They will also try to do better this year in the “catch on the beginning,” and hope to give their old enemy Yale a harder | Tub than in 1873. | carry The crew in thetr barge an evening or two ished at the boat house about half-past six o'clock, looking to all appearance fresh and weil.

THE FRESHMAN CREW. Owing to Varions reasons it is hardiy probable, at this writing, that Harvard will send a Fresh- man crew to Saratoga.

ROOCKLAND, Me., May 24, 1874. A murderous affray occurred on board the schooner Annie B, of St. John, N.

The captain ran into the cabin and got his re- volver. He called to the mate, and, coming om deck, met the man coming alt again, and dis- charged several shots at him, but without ap parent effeot, and was knocked down. The mate, Solomon Camp, coming out of the cabin way, was struck @ terrible blow op the back of the head with an iron bar, which fractured bis ped ‘The villain then fired a pistol shot into bis ead, The only other man of the crew was shot at without injury, and fled up the rigging, where he remained during the affray. The captain exhausting his revolver was pur sued to the cabin by the assailant, where & struggle took place between them, which was re- Dewed on deck, the captain being reiniorced by the cook, a spunky boy.
