The Political Parties Moder- ate but Expectant HACHAHON'S DIFFICULTIES AND DANGER. | | Parts, Nov. 18, 1875, | 1s 1 now announced that as soon as the law for the | regulation of municipal corporations shall have been | passed the government will introduce a bill for the YINAL SETTLEMENT of the constitution. By this measure {t will be pro- vided that the expiring Assembly shall name the sev- | enty-five Senators whose appointment is vested in the | Lower Chamber in the month of December. The etec- | tion for the remainder of the Senate will be fixed for | January, the dissolution and the general election for | February. The principal result of the ministerial vic tory on the question of the scruéins must de considered the definitive establishment of the Republic Had the opposition triumphed there was a general belief that neither the Marshal nor his Ministers were prepared to accept their defeat with resignation, It was feared that M. Buffet would endeavor to postpone the general election, in other words, that the country would be | told that as it did not seem to think rightly, 1 could Rot be suffered to express au opinion ull it was restored to a better trame of mind, | THB PRESIDENT, it was thought, might be led by the very loyalty of his character into the most devious courses. He has often declared tbat he would never desert the conservative | party, and ne seemed to be totally unaware of the fact | that he owed certain duties to the nation and none to any fraction of {t to the exclusion of the others. Thas | ‘+ was anticipated that if M. Buffet’s heart bad failed him atthe last moment, and he had refused to remain | in office in direct violation of the principles of parlia- mentary goverament, the Marshal would have formed A CABINET OF GENERALS and permanent civil servants, and endeavored to rule without ay parliament at all. Now all alarms of coups at or military conspiracies against tne estab- lished order of things have vanisbed, for the chief of the army has placed his power on a secure footing by Peaceful methods. Might and the law are for the pres- ent, ag they always should be, on the same side. DANGER STILL EXISTS, Not that all danger of civil troubles has entirely dis- | appeared. For there {s every prospect that, in spite of the. scrutin d@’arrondissement, the republicans will be victorious at the polls and Marshal MacMahon will find himself next spring face to face with an Assembly | which will pronounce decisively against all forms of | monarchy and tn favor of the Republic, The Assembiy | will not be red or terrorist; 1t will not even be ultra. | | { Liberal, but it will be decidedly anti-cierical and anti- royalist, The question then arises HOW WILL THE MARSHAL ACT? Will he acknowledge that the interregnum is virtually at anend aud that France bas finally chosen a new régime under which henceforth she means to live? Judging trom the past conduct of the President one cannot venture to predict that he will be convinced by the logic of accomplished facts; and yet, all things | considered, the chances seem to be decidedly against bis flying directly in the face of the ascertained wishes of the nation, Mucm hope ie also to be derived from the decided ameliora- tion in the tone of French politics which has Deen visible of late yeara There bas been a general tendency to compramise during the period which has succeeded the overthrow of the Empire, Each faction has clearly seen tbat it could not secure the adoption of its pet theories without a large amouat of sacrifice | tothe theories of other factions. Scarcely a single | Jegitimist has dreamed that Henry V. could reign with- out an elected Legislature. 48 POR THE ORLRANISTS they are trimmers by virtue of their opinions, the chief of which is the benefit of a compromise between the monarchic and the democratic spirit, just as the ideal of Bonapartism is an empire based on universal | suffrage, or a republie governed by a quasi elective | despot, THE REPUBLICANS, | too, have recognized that even the dictatorship of soldier is preferable toa repetition of the sc a 798 or even of 1848. %. GAMMETTA, once an irreconcilable, is now the swern enemy of ex- | treme measures and extreme men. Therefore it seems bighly probable—it would be rash to say more—tnat a modus virendi will be arrived at between the new Chamber and the President. For the republican ma- Jority which it is assumed will be returned is very un- likely to attack the Law of the 20th November, 1873, which constituted the Septennate, and the Marshal, finding his own authority respected, will no doubt pre- fer to govern the country in accordance with pubhe opinion to risking the chances of revolution. It must never be forgotten that when Louis Napoleon con- spired against the Republic, all France, aga distia- | guished politician put it, was conspiring with him THE ASSEMBLY, which he summarily dissolved, was elected by limited | suffrage, and bad not the confidence of the nation. In restoring universal suffrage be had a distinctly popu- Jar cry with which to go to the country. Marshal Mac- | Mabon could appeal to it on uo great principle. PEACE AND HOPE, Peace would seem, then, to be almost assured till the year 1880, ana by that time the Republic will bave | completed its tenth y Now, Tocqueville was per- | euaded that if the ublic could last ten years it | would last forever. ‘Thus the first faint streak of a | fair dawn begins to appear on the horizon, and there is ‘& prospect that (be long night of anarchy is at length drawing to an end. HERZEGOVINA. | | | THE INSURGENTS’ APPEAL TO THE GREAT POW- ERS—A SEPARATE GOVERNMENT ASKED FOR. The Correspondance Politique, of Vionna, deciares that the Herzegovinia insurgents have determined to send delegations to Vienna, Berlin and St Petersburg and submit a petition to the three great Powers of the North. The petition will embrace ) FOUR POINTS. ) First—A declaration in the most solemn manner that | they can no longer live under Turkish rule. Second—They express the wish that the intervening governments determine the exact borders of Herzego- vina where they can establish their families in safety. Third—They propose that the Powers, in case of ne- cessity, occupy the principal places in their country until these negotiations are finished, Fourth—They ask that the Herzegovina and Bosniabe | made into a vassal state, to be governed by a Christian | prince. % tag, &o ‘he details of the rising at Khokand, causing the new Khan to fly to Khodjont, are not yet to THE LAST AFRICAN MAIL. That the Beyptian rale bas been firmly established in Equatorial Africa is plainly shown by the frequency with which Mr. Stanley bas been able to send letters to she English and American newspapers which he repre- sents. Ten years ago, had Stanley undertaken his present expedition, we should not have beard of him until he had returned to the coast, Now, thanks to Baker and Gordon, we are actually in postal communt- cation with Unyoro and Uganda, a result which indi- cates that @ civilized government bas been established on the White Nile, and that the Khedive’s officers bave accomplished something more than # mere raid into a hostile territory. By yesterday’s European mails we learned the true meaning of the obscure statement made In the London Times some ten days since to the apparent effect that Cameron was op the shores of Tanganyika, seeking to make bis way back to Zanzibar, It now appears that this statement should have read that Cameron was anxious to proceed west and that it re- ferred to @ period so far back as December last, Since we know that Cameron started down the Lualaba in May, the hopes of his safety, which were founded om the statement of the London Times, must be abandoned, He has not been heard from since he vanished into the wilderness west of Tanganyika, where it is only too | hey that he will meet with the fate which overtook ungo Park tn his attempt to descend the Niger. Mr. Stanley's letter, which in yesterday's Henao, was dated at the Capital of Uganda on the Lath of Apri. He had then finished the work of exploring that part of the Victoria Lake which Speke had not ex- plored, end was about to march across Uganda to the Alvert Lake. His account of King Mtesa and his re- ligious views shows us Mr, Stanley in the rather unex- pected light’ of a missionary bent upon the conversion of the King to Christianity. Four or five years ago an Arab visited Mtesa and converted him to Mohammedanism with a revolving rifle, and other persuasive arguments. Mr. Stanley in- forma us that “by one conversation” he “tumbled the newly raised religious fabric to the ground.” He in- ducea “Mtesa to observe the Christian Sabbath as well as the Moslem Sabbath,” and made him acquainted with the Ten Commandments, If only some other skilful missionary would folluwin his footsteps, he ts quite eure that the whole kingdom of Uganda would embrace Obristianity. Mr. Stanley’s !dea of what ought to constitute a missionary’s outfit ts novel and interesting. He thinks that missionaries should carry to Mtesa not only the Gospel, but ‘‘a sabre, a brace of pistols and suitable ammunition, a good fowling piece and rifle of good quality.” Of course if one revoly- | ing rifle convinced Mtesa of the superiority of Mohammedanism over fetish worship, improved breech- joading rifles and fowling-pieces, together with pistols and ammunition, might induce him to adopt Chris- Viapity. Still, this is not exactly the way in which | missionaries usually prosecute their work, and {t does not seem to have been the plan which Mr. Stanley him- self pursued. He tumbled down the King’s faith in Mohammed merely by his conversational powers, and were he to embody the substance of this canversation | tn the form of an easy catechism for African kings tt | might be of more service © other missionaries than many rifles and fowling-pieces. At the same time we musi acknowledge that Mr. Stanley's advice is based on a knowledge of mative character which we cannot claim to possess. Mr. Stanley will have the best wishes of the civilized | world in the work that is yet before him. Long be- fore this he has resumed his march, and {shard at work exploring lakes, Let us hope that before he left Mesa he fully succeeded in his praiseworthy endeav- ora to convert him to Christianity. It would have been unkind to permit that amiable monarch to believe in two different religions at the same time, and to keep | two Sundays in every week, besides the Mohammedan | Ramadan and the Christian Lent. If Stanley really succeeded in inducing Mtesa to diecard the religion of the false prophet and to adopt that of Christianity, he has earned a new title to our respect; though at the | same time he must expect to incur the strong disap proval of Captain Burton, who will immediately dem- | onstrate, as ne did in the case of Captain Speke, that | no African explorer who believes in Christianity can possibly discover the source of the Nile. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. The question of the reduction of salaries was the great topic of conversation at the Custom House yes- terday, It was rumored that a number of weighers and inspectors were to be discharged, Some of tho | officials who are to be mulcted gay that, in view of the great extra work which will shortly be entailed by the importation of goods for the Centennial Exhibition, it is a farce to economize and cubdown salaries at present, ‘The following letter will be sent out to-day to about three-quarters of the customs employés in this city:— | Cvstom Howse, Couixctor’s Orvice, ‘Nov, 80, 1876.

NAVAL AFFAIRS. INCREASED ACTIVITY AT THE BROOKLYN YARD— A NUMBER OF FAST CRUISERS TO BB PUT INTO COMMISSION——THE HOME SQUADRON TO RENDEZVOUS AT NORFOLK. ‘While the most peaceful messages reach the public daily from Washtngton close observers of naval pro- ceedings, especially in the Brooklyn yard, can discern @ good deal of quiet but efficient work going on in tho way of Qtting out cruisers and, in @ general way, strengthening our navy, whether for defensive or of- fensive purposes remains to be seen. The Ordnance Bureau is now busily engaged in pre. paring the armament of the frigates Colorado and Min- negota, which are being fitted out for sea service. Both ships are said to be tn thorougn condition for cruising purposes, and when their heavy guns and crews are placed on board they can be detailed for any duty they may be required to perform. All the necessary stores for a vhree years’ cruise are ready to be put upon them, and this labor can be accomplished, If necessary, within twenty-four hours) The Minnesota, Captain Johnson, will probably ge to the yard in a fow days, as moving ice is looked for tn the North River momentarily. The boys now going throngh » course of training on this fine frigate will be transferred to another ship in case she should be sent on a war mission, Besides these two big frigates which are preparing for active duty the triple-turreted monitor Roanoke, six guns, is now tn the hands of the workmen, making ready to go ‘nto commission. The Roanoke, as is well known, is a turreted ship, built upon the hull of an old wooden frigate of the same clasa as the Minnesota, Colorado and Wabash. Her armor and turrets aré heavy enough to resist ordinary shot, and as a ship for harbor defences, judiciously anchored in the main channel, she would prove exceedingly formidable. Her armament consists of fifteen ana eleven inch smooth-bore guns and 200-pound rifles. As she is inclined to “turn turtle” when in blue water it js not at all probable that the Roanoke will ever besent outside the harbor, ‘The sloop-of-war Hartford, Captain Stephen B.

In course of time I be- came an American citizen, I leit New York on tho 12th of October, 1875, on board the steamship | Columbus, Before I left I had my passport viséd by the Spanish Consul in New York. ] was in- trusted with somo éofimissions for commercial houses im Havana, and was alse going to transact some mer- cantilo business of my own.” Upon landing I went to the American Consulate, Previous to this my passpors “wag viséd by the Captain of the Port and the Commis- sioner of Landing, Don Ramon Martinea My baggage, T ought tol y¥ou, Wad examined yith wonderfyl mi- nuteiess. Having obtained from the American Con- sulate a temporary card of residence 1 went © my lodgings, being In somewhat weak health. On the 20sh ot October I was notified to appear at the Police OMice with reference to some Cubans who had arrived from Now York by the same steamer that I bad, and who had been sent to prison. The frst shing the Chief of Police did was to use ve suiting language to me, calling me a number of obscene names, The next thing he did was to have me gearched from heaa to foot and to take away my passport, business letterg and memoranda 1 protested and said 1 was an Ameri- can citizen; but he laughed at me and tola me that I was a prisoner. I was then thrown intoadark and filtby prison eell, perfectly empty and yery damp, I had to sleep om the ground. I was tneomunicado— that ts, not allowed to communicate with anybody. None of my friends knew what had become of me After three days, as a great favor, I was allowed tw get j better food by’ payine $3 a day, and $1 for » cot to sleep on.

MORE CANAL FRAUDS. ‘THE FIXING OF CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES BY THE ORISKANY FEEDER TO THE DEXTER MILL-— HOW THE BURAL MIND WAS EDUCATED IN CLAIM MAKING—STRANGE REVELATIONS. Aunany, Nov. 80, 1875, The Legislative Joint Committee to investigate canal frauds met again to-da; Cornelius Glen, Chief Clerk of the Appraiser’s office, was rected and examined as to the claims for damages caused by the construction of the Oriskany feeder. He read the record of the claims and amounts awarded. In all cases there was a large deduction from the original claim, but interest was invariably allowed. Samuel B. Halleck was called and examined as to the alleged damage done to the Dexter Mill by depriving it of water, by the feedor taking it for the Erie Caual at Oriskany. He said that the stream was nota very large one and that at the time it was ‘low, as in times of drought the feeder affected the stream; in times of a flood or rain it did not; witness was one of the claimants, being a part owner of a grist mill on the steam; the business was damaged by @ diversion of the water to the canal; his mill was a half mile from the feeder dam; it has tour run of stone; ts larger than the ordinary country mill; we have been able to op- erate the mill since the feeder was constructed up to this, but not all the time, though a good share of time; this season we have run most of the time, probably have not lost a month out of the twelve; don’t think we have lost over six weeks ina year any year since the dam was constructed; we considered the mill worth about $18,000—what it cost us at the time—and besides the value we had added to it In the way of business, having built that up, as it was rundown when we bought tt; could not say how much that was; think all the property there has decreased in value, owing to the cop- struction of this damj; should think this mill was depreciated $10,000; don’t think tt now worth over $8,000; have offered to sell it for $9,000; we were awarded damages amounting to $10,000 for diversion of water, with tnterest, making it $10,666 66, and $2,000 more for stoppage of business and interest on that, making a total of $13,837; we did not get all this; »1 sold out the claim to various persona; T became the owner of it and gold it out to parties who had mortgages on the mit. Mr. Smith—Your estimate ts, I see, $29,200, and yet you put in a claim for only $18,000, How was that? ‘Witness—I supposed {t was $23,000. Mr, Smith—But how was that? The est!mate amounts to $29,200, Witness—I cannot explain that; we always consid. ered that from loss ot water we received damages of $10,600; I estimated the whole valno of the property at, its worth, $18,000, and then added the damage caused by the detention, Mr. Smith—But you see Ppa have got {t up to $29,000, What we want to know ts how was that done? Witness—That must bave been the work of the at- torney. I never knew anything of that, Mr. Smith—lt 1s here st in the record of the hearing, the fair value of this property 1# $25,700 Now is pot that $7,000 too much ? Witness—Well, the value really was $18,000. Mr. Smith—Then how did this come to be $25,700? Witness—That isnot correct; I did not intend to put the sum above $23, Me, Smith—Again you have put In $3,500 for a month or six weeks’ detention, Is that not a pretty large sum? ‘Witness—Well, it ts enough. Mr. Cole—But can’t you say whether tt ts too mach or too little? Mr. Smith—That would be at the rate of $30,000 a year. ‘Witness—Well, it is too mach, Mr. Cole—Well, how much too mach ? Witness—I don’t think $2,000 would be too much. Mr. Smith looked over the testimony and found that ‘no witness had been callea for the State; they were all for the claimants, Mr. Cole—What amount of flour did you make daily? ‘Witness—No regular amount; we would buy wheat and make flour of it, and then buy more wheat, Mr. Cole—What would {t average per day? Witness—I do not know, sir, Mr. Cole—What? Did you not have charge, and can’t you tell whether it was ten barrels per day? ‘Witness—I bad chi ), but T cannot tell Mr, Colo—-What would'be the profit of your mill? Witness—I don’t know. OS mac did you get at the estimates of loss then Witness—I have no recollection of how we made up the estimates upon which we based our damages. Mr. Smith—Was the Dexter Mill worth twice as much as yours previous to the diversion of the water? itness—I don’t know. Mr. Smith—Was It worth $36,000? Witness—I don’t consider myself a jndge of such Property, ‘and can’t form any tdea of its value. r. Smith—How much were they detained? Witness—About the same as we were. Mr. Smith—I see they were allowed $36,830 for the diversion from four to six weeks. Witness—I think that is too mach, but can’t say how much too much, Mr. Smith—I see that a witness heresays the mills would have no right to uso the water. Witness—The idea was given out that the mills could have none of the water during the seven months of navigation except what might drip over the canals. We got that idea from the appraisers. Mr. Peckham—But you know that {s not.the fact? Witness—Yes, sir; we have had the water. Mr. Smith—Bat even that idea would not have war- ranted a man in making an estimate of loss for all that time. Witness—No, sir; we were not deprived of the water in that way or to that extent. Mr. Smith—I find Buell & Wallech also have an al- lowance of $2,879 for alleged aclay for a mouth or so. Witness—Six or eight weeks that year, Mr. Smith—Well, for that time, then, that was pretty | good pay. Witness—Yea, sir. Mr, Smith—I find Walter B. Pierce puts ina claim | for breaking up his tobacco business, Mr, Peckham—Is that Walter B. Pierce, the tax- | payer? Witness—Yes, sir; ne ts the man. Mr. Smith read the testimony in thts ease, going to show that the claimant was obliged to remove bis fac- tory, his machinery, goods and printod labels being do. stroyed, and was thereby damaged to the amount of $4,747.’ Then an amonded claim was put {n making it agzregate $7,889, The appraiser allowed him $1,923 32, ‘Mr, Smith—What use did he make of the water? Witnoss—To ran his machinery, Mr. Smith—Then he was obstructed about the same time as the others? | ‘Witness—Yes, sir. Recess unul half-past three P. M. AFTER RECES: The committee reassembled at four P. M. A. J, Williams calied and sworn, and was examined as tothe Dexter Mill. He knew the property at the time the dam was built and the mill was abandoned; tt bad passed through the bands of. several tenants, each of whom was gbliged to give it up, as they could make fiothing In it; it wis not in use at the time the dam was built; all such property in that locality had for ears been declining in value before the dam was built; { ceamined the property with a view to see what dam- age was done; I was called as a witness for the State in the case, and’ was asked what ft would cost to pat the property in the same condition it was ‘prior to the | diversion of the water; 1 said it could be done for | 15, 000, . ie ‘Smith—Now, I want to ack yon was that prop- erty worth before the dam was built $36,000? ‘That waz the sum awarded. Witness—Iwould want a good deal better property than that for $36,000; 1 do not think it was worth that sum. To Mr. Cole—I have bought considerable real estate and think I know its value, Henry T. Buell called and sworn, was examined as to the effect upon the Dexter Lomer factory by th erection of thedam. It had been abandoned for nearly ten years; he then rented it; the first season after the dam was built about six weeks were lost; I was advised by John F. Seymour to bring a claim against the State, and not aint the ae we lost eight or ten weeks and made 4 claim for $2,500; we did not know at that time but that we were rulned; our profits at thas time? were $8,000 or $9,000 a year.

Democrat (dem. ) Whatever may be the course of the demecrats, it would seem tobe both the policy and the duty of the republican minority to nominate one of their own party for the speakership.—New London Telegram (rep.) It is certain that Mr. Randall !s an accomplished parliamentarian, thoroughly familiar with the rules or the House, and his experience in Congress has been much greater than that of Mr. Kerr.—Zroy Times (rep.)

The people would much rather hear ob an election which would displease Tom Scott, Jay Gould, Vanderbilt, Garrett, and all the rest of their class. —Kansas City Times (dem. ) Mr, Randall isin favor of moderate, discriminating duties, that will produce sufficient revenue to support the government, but is not, and never has deen, what is known as a “protectionist.” His views on the tariff are those of the democratic party from time tmmemo- rial.—Doylestown (Pu.)

He is in no way responsible for the soft money plank put in the Erie platform. —Doylestown ( Pa.) Democrat (dem. ) We have no objection to Mr. Kerr, but when we see Mr. Tilden’s adherents interfering to secure Mr. Kerr’a election, seemingly for the purpose of paving the way for their favorite for the Presidential nomination, we think it is time for those who are working tn the in- terest of no particular Presidential candidate to thoughtfully consider the situation, so as to prevent the party from being committed tn advance to the for- tunes of any one man for the Presidency. —-Montgom- ery (Ala.) Advertiser (dem.) Mr, Randall has been a leader of the democratic mi- nority in Congress for years. But for his great gener- alship in parliamentary tactics last winter the odious Force bill would have been fastened upon the country, To the South tt would have bean political death, and yet the leading men of that section consented to with- draw opposition, fearing it would only embitter the radical majority, Even Alexander i, Stephens, of Georgia, was of this number. But Mr. Randall founda fow gallant spirits willing to stand by him, and the battle was made and the victory won.
