The Times publishes @ letter from Regnier, the @bscooding witness in the Bazaine trial, asking Bismarck to clear him of the tmputation of being B spy. Bismarck replies under date of the 2d inst. that he fears the existing irritation against him in France will nullify his evidence in favor of Regnier; nevertheless he does not hesitate to repeat that Regnier was “actuated in Mis negotlations before Metz by no other motive than courageous devotion to the interests of his country, which he believed to be identical with those of the imperial dynasty.” Bis marck says he fuvored the execution | of Regnier's project with the view of | hastening peace “by enabling the Imperial Gov- ernment to communicate with the army of Metz. In case the proposed reiations were es- tablished the Germans would have been placed in communication with an es- tablished government which was authorized to Conclude peace in the name of France.’ Bismarck concludes nis letter to Régnier with the following affirmation, to the truth of which he Pledges his honor:—You never received any ‘personal advantage from me. In allowing you to enter Metz I believed that you could promote Patriotic and useful action in the interest of “peace.” GERMANY.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Oct. 14, 1874. ‘There was a wondertul apathy in administration circles to-day concerning the news from Ohio and Indiana. Secretary Bristow had not heard of the report from the States north of Kentucky, ex- plaining that he had been engaged in clear- ing out his office, Postmaster General Jewell was too busily occupied the details of his new position to take notice of newspaper reports abou: elections. But the sad- eat of the Cabinet oficials was the Attorney Gen- eral. For the firat time in several weeks there Were no reports of outrages upon loyal whites and innocent negroes in the South. On the till box in front of the Department of Justice was posted a small placard, bearing THE SIGNIFICANT INSTRUCTION, “Outrages for political purposes until further orders should be addressed care Chattanooga Con- vention.’” The absence of congratulatory despatches at the White House and tne lack of apparent interest in the elections, made the city very gloomy. The only consolation left to the faithful adherents of the party is the HERALD’s Congres- sional “roll-call”” on Cxsarism. That has afforded the disappointed some solace; and the veteran Barclay, who has known only members of Con- gress for forty years, says he recognizes every member by the pen picture of his political sagacity printed in the HERALD.

Appointment of a Permanent Committee and Adjournment Sine Die, Cuarranooaa, Tenn., Oct. 14, 1874. The Convention was called to order at ten o'clock this morning by General Anarew Neill, of Texas, one of the Vice Presidents. A prayer was offered | by Rev. R. Moore (colored), of Georgia. A motion by Mr. Moore to admit Mr. Chapman, Of Georgia, as a delegate, was objected to. An enthusiastic delegate from Georgta thanked God for this Convention, as in a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom. Amotion to dispense with the reading of the minutes was carried on a division of the house. A delegate from Texas hoped that smoking Would not bo allowed, as it made him sick. The Chairman of the Committee of Facts and Statistics desired to receive reports of outrages. The Committee on Correspondence announced that they were ready toreport, and presented a iet- ter from ex-Governor Davis, of Texas, and another from Mr, Brewster. of Alabama, which were read. The Chairman of the committee falling in the at- tempt to read intelligibly the letter from ex-Gov- | ernor Davis, the latter came forward and read it | himself, The letter was very long, occupying an | hour in its delivery, and is a labored effort to prove that the same spirit now actuated the | white portion of the Southern people as in | 1860-61, and that a new rebellion was forming. In | regara to corruption, he said Kellogg and Moses might be corrupt; but, knowing the democrats as | he did, their assertions to that effect were proof to | the contrary in his mind. He thought Sumner's plan of wiping out State lines in the South the | wisest, but it was impracticable. He favored | compulsory education by Congressional enact- | ment, and prompt relief when the State offices are seized by fraud and corruption, The North Carolina delegation, Hon. W. G. Ken- nedy and George M. Price, reported and took their | seats, An address from Mr. Brewster, of Monroe, La., was read, and was to the effect that the great | want. o! the South is popular education, which | should be sustained DY COHETCES: and which should teach moraiity and obedience to law, not admira- tion of assassins and murderers, ual rights and justice to all should be maintained, Statistics of illiteracy in the Southern States were read to | show the necessity for asking Congress to provide for education. The committee’s report simply stated that the letters, with the exception of those read, were un- important, and requested that the two received be “spread” upon the minutes, A resolution was offered by Mr. Davis, of Georgia, indorsing the Civil Rights bill ana deny- 1ng the truth of Mr, A. H. Stephens’ agsertion that the colons peapia did not wish it, The resolution was reporte 8 the Committee on Resolutions. On motion Mr. Thomas Bowles was appointed in the Committee on Resolutions, in place of Mr, Whytock, MORE COMMITTEES. Mr. H. M.

Dell; Louisiana, not ap- jointed. z Mr. TURNER, of Georgia, said he understood that committee had been appointed to collect out- Tages, &c. ‘A Voice—We have got enough of them now; we don’t want to collect any more, Mr. TURNER suid he knew what he was talking | about, and i, any one was opposed to it to show his hand, He wanted one more irom each State | added to the Committee on Facts and Statistic He thought some of the Members might be killed. It was a dangerous committee. The motion to Increase the committee was | adopted, and the following members were addea:— Nortn Carolina, G, W. Price, Jr.; Arkansas, H. M, Cooper; Georgia, W. H. Harrison; Mississippl, J. D, shadd; Texas, Andrew Neil; Tennessee, H. M. Neill; Alabama, k Blair; Virginia, John Avery. George W. vrice, North Carolina, was added to the Committee on Resolutions. Toe Convention then adjourned until half-past seven o'clock P. M. Evening Session. The Convention reassembled at hal!-past seven P. M., F. A. Little, Vice-President from M sippi, in the chair. The Committee on Facts and Sta- tistics of Outrages asked for further time in whicn to make their report. A resolution was offered ranting further time, continuing the Committee indefinitely, and instructing them to report to Congress every three months, Senator CLAYTON, of Arkansas, claimed the floor, He said these facts anu 8 | \ ements were | not to influence Northern elections, but to influ. | ence legislation, and Congress did not meet until December. Why not, then, give the committee | time to gather the facts ? He proposed to appoint | an executive committee, to whom this committee should report. He wanted the facts spread bejore the cuuntry. God knows that the facts are enough. He thought that the com- mittee should report at the assembling of Congress, 2nd as much oltener as necessary. He made the motion for the appointment of an ex- | ecutive committee of one from each State, six to constitute @ quorum, to meet in Washington on the first Monday of December next, with power to do such business as they deemed proper, and to call a convention when necessary. The motion was adopted and then the report was amended so as to call for a detailed report of outrages by December first, to the Executive Com- mittee at Wasbington from each member of tne committee, The report of the Committee on Resolutions a clares that the republican citizens of the recon- structed Southern Stat nize the equality of ali men before the law; reafiirms the Philadelphia platiorm; demands equal rights to all citizens, secured by appropriate State and federal legisia- tion; indorses the Executive in sustaining law | and order in all parts of tue Union; putting down | outrages, and especially indorses his action in Louisiana; denounces outrages, and arraigns the democratic party of the South ‘or sustaining Ku Klux and White Leagues, and as directly respon- sible for these outrages, and indorses the ad- dech it was the duty o: when @ State government was sought to be over- thrown by revolutionary action, to iateriere and give the peopie thereof a republican government; deprecates drawing race and color Jines; recom- mends the appointment of none but honest and capable men to federal offices and the re- moval of all others; urges appropriations ot public lands of education to Rncrany: in proportion to the illiteracy of the States; javors appropriations ior the improvement of the great rivers; asks all citizens who favor the ad- ministration of the government on principles of justice to aid in restoring tranquillity to the peo- ple and thereby develop the material interests | of the country. | The previous question was called, the report was adopted on a call of mously. In caliee the vote of North Carolina Mr. KEN- Nepy sald that no outrages had occurred in his State for twelve months and that the people were ag safe there as in Massachusetts. Mr. PRIOR (colored), of North Carolina, said he would bave been murdered in passing through Georgia but for his colleague. , Governor Davis then offered again the resolution asking Congress to make a new apportionment of ee representatives of Texas and to order a new elec This was objected to by Mr. BARRETT. of Missis- sippi. He said, before the war the democrats had gerrymandered Mississippi, but they did not go to Congress about it, Governor Davis said the gerrymandering in Texas was Outrageous, and the democrats had de- clared that they had done it to exciade repubil- cans from Congress. The previous question was called, and the reso- lation declared adopted, against the protest of several delegates. A SILLY ATTACK. H. M.

Senator CLayTon said he understood the As- 8 ted Press Agent here was 4 republican and had been instructed to employ a democratic editor to report this Conveution. This was very ainenier r. Rogers, of Arkansas, objected to the resolu- tion, as the Convention couid uot know that the charge was true. The previous question was called and sustained, and the resolution adopted on a call of states, ‘Tennessee voting, yeas 7, nays 5; North Carolina, may. One delegate irom Arkansas voted against the resolution, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTER. Mr. PINcnBAcK, of Louisiana, asked that the Ex- ecutive Committee be appointed, which was done, as follows:—Executive Uommittee—Arkansas, S. W. Dorsey ; Louisiana, P. B. 5.

Kennedy; Florida, Dennis Eagan; Ten- nessee, W. F, Prosser. THE ADDRESS. Mr. West, of Louisiana, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Address, reported a long adéresa, stating that a parallel to this Convenyon finds no precedent in the history of this combtry, Those who defended the country were compelled to cume together to defend themselves against its op- ponents. The record of crimes in tne Southern States presents a summary of outrages which staggers belief. There is great difference be- tween political contests in the North and tn tne South, In one it 18 brief and peaceful and in the other it is prolonged and bitter, marked by murder and assassination. In one, republicantsm is a badge of honor, in the other it 18a mark of leprosy to be shunned. The circumstances of re- construction divided parties on the basis of color as much as if it was intentionally done, and tois has provoked strife, When the unrepentant slavenolder sees the former slave in the exercise or the rights of citizenahip the pride of race makes nim feel, though unjustly, that the negro has acquired bis rignts by tne degradation of the white man. This makes the negro feel uneasy and anxious. The fleld for the obtaining of political advice for the negro has been nar- rowed by the opposition by tneir de- nunclation of old and new citizens whom they may affiliate with. He that looks for loyaity to the democrats of the South will look in vain. Recent events have shown that no repub- lican government can be sustained at the South without federalinterference until the democrats learn that it 1s in vain to ight against the idea of civil and political equality. The address complains of the charge of cor- ruption made against Southern republicans and of the misrepresentations of the press agents and of | the Southern papers. Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia are under democratic rule, yet disorders are prevalent in them, The address spoke at length of outrages, and declared that in tew instances had grand juries indicted, and in none had petit juries convicted. A powertul press keeps silence or defends the crimmals and maligns the victim. ff tn a rare in- stance a criminal should be convicted be would receive the sympathy of that party in whose cause he has suffered. It ought to be made a crime to murder a citizen of the United States, and | evil doers should learn that the matter does not end with a verdict of acquittal in the State courts. The presence of troops has had, in many in- stances, a restraining influence upon demoératic assassing, We challenge refutation of the story of democratic malignancy aad crime, and ask t American people to grant us that protect afforded to their fellow citizens in foreign lands, The address was unanimously adopted on a call of States. ‘ Governor Davia, of Texas, dissented from the* remedies proposed by the address. He did not think the constituuon wold penal the federal, courts to interfere. He woul prefer a twenty years’ territorial government for the South, but would vote aye, Resolutions of thanks to the officers of the Con- vention and to the citizens of Chattanooga were adopted. In closing Governor PARSONS said that they should look th a higher power than human wis- dom for success. When shall wisdom be found and the place for understanding? ‘Behold, tne fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and to depart trom evil 1s the place of understanding.” Well would it be for the American people to bear this in mind. (Applause.) The Convention then adjourned stne die. AMUSEMENTS. Italfan Opera=Ruy Blas. - The first novelty of the season was presented last bight at the Academy of Music. Fil_ppo Mar- chetti, a young Italian composer, brought out a lyric adaptation of Victor Hugo’s celebrated drama, “Ruy Blas,” at La Scala, Milan, over five years ago, and since that time the opera has been frequentiy performed in Italy. Last night it was heard for the first time outside the native land of the composer. Mr. Strakosch may well claim the distinction of enterprise a3 an impresario. He has already given us “AYaa,’? “Lohengrin” and ‘Ruy Bias” in advance of the principal opera houses of Europe. Tne opera last evening was placed on the stage with completeness in every detail, and the cast was very strong, consisting of Mme. Potentini as tne Queen of Spain, Miss Cary as Casilda, maid of | stomach, nerves. lungs and liver, cur: honor, Signor Carpi as Ruy Blas. Signor Del Puente as Don Sallust, Signor Fiorini as Don Guri- tano, Mr. Fechter has made the metropolitan public so well acquainted with the drama that it is only necessary to say that the libretto embodies the main features of the original. The opera isin x four acts and the incidents are identical | tie cheaper. with Victor Hugo's great work. The composer evidently has taken “La Favorita” as a model, for reminiscences of that opera are very numerous. ‘The music, a8 we have said on a former occasion, is thoroughly [talian, but we cannot accord It the standard of Verdi or Donizetti, which tt imitates. The prelude is rather pretentious, but not effective, and comes to an abrupt conclusion. At the rise of the curtain the peculiar instrumentation of phrases in chords of sixths does not give a favorable idea of what follows, Tnere is a decided Meyerbeer tinge in the orchestral coloring of Don Guritano’s first scene with Don Saliust. The latter person- age has rather pretty music in the arta, “Pia q@ognt bene in terra,” and Gounod comes to the aid of the composer in the succeeding duo. The lyric interpretation of the passionate words of Bou Sallust, “Scacciato! bandito,” is very lJeeble and the theme, although it is fre- quently repeated throughout the opera, is not imviting. A semi-barcarolle duet between the tenor and the baritone which follows ts also commonplace. A reminiscence of “Un Ballo in Maschera” comes tn later in the continuation of the duet, and the first chorus, ‘‘Alla vaga e pia donzella,” is unworthy of grand opera. A few bars of “La Favorita’ engage the attention of the female chorus at the beginning of the second act, and at length we reach the first decided melody The contraito then sings a sort of mandolinata Spanish air, which needs oniy castanets and Andalusian dress to complete the picture. Gounod next comes in for the Queen's first scena, which is followed by a uintet with’ chorus, without accompaniment. this recetved an encore last night. The succeed- ing terzetto, full of sensuous melody, is spoiled by | the weukness of the instrumentation. Traces ot “Lea Huguenots” may be foand in the commence- ment of the third act, the best in the opera. Ru: Bias has a fine solo here, commencing with *“ Carlo Quinto,” bat marvellousily like “Er. nani.” The next is a duet for soprano and contralto,a real em, with remin- iscences of ‘La Traviata.” ssing over the duet | for tenor and bass, an effective number, we come toa fine finale, octet with chorus, strongly built | and imposing. Verdi’s Violetta is heard in tenor form in the beginning of the fourth act, and the con- traito sings another characteristic Spanish song. A pretty duet for contralto and baritone follows, and then comes a gem terzetto for soprano, tenor and baritone. Mme. Potentini had an arduous role, and she gave entire satisfaction by her artistic rendering of it. Miss Caty, one the genuine stars of the operatic stag, repeated her successes of Amneris and Ortrad, | sisted all other remedies. 7 our space prevents ug from dealing with the per- formance as it deserves, and compels ua to post poue our critical wotice of it.

Dei Puente, one of the moat reliable artists of the company, made the role of Don Sallusto one of favorable prominence, and Fiorini fatied to invest Don Guritano with any interest. The opera, a8 may be scen from our brief résumé, is tull of reminiscences, if not abso- lute plagiarisms, and the orchestration is devold of virile power. There are a few numbers tn tt that may be regarded as catching and over which the average opera goer will in- duige in ecatasies.
