FRANCE AT THE CENTENNIAL A Commissioner Perpetrates a Libel Upon the American People. THE POLAR EXPEDITION. The Unsuccessful Return of the Alert and Discovery. Lospos, Oct. 28, 1876, The negotiations nave taken unexpectedly a tavor- able turn, Russia on Thursday informed the,Powers that she bad no objection to a clause being added to the six weeks’ armistice providing that it might tventually be prolonged, if required by the Bate of the negotiations—this clause, of course, to be only permissive and to fix no term to the prolonga- Mon; but the latest information is that Russia bas all but consented to make the first prolongation one of six weoks and obligatory, Tho Ger- Man government, which was first informed of Rassia’s concession, has already expressed its ad- hesion and recommended other Powers to do the same. lt is thought that Russia’s action will .be influenced by a desire to disarm tho suspicion of Europe In Constantinople the convictien frows that Russia is not seeking a pretext for rupture, but is making @ serious effort to bring bout an arrangement which will allay the excitement pi the Russian people and at the same timo establish Russian ascendancy in Turkey on a solid and perma- Rent footing. The following official statement explains the latest phase of ihe negotiations :— “We understand the tendency of the negotiations at Constantinople does not torbid expectation of a preific solution. General Ignatieff has intimated the willing- ness of Russia to assent to a six weeks’ armistice with the successive prolongations proposed by the Porte, There only how remains the conaition, for which tho Porte stipulated, that all tho Powers should concar in fecommending the armistice.” All tho special correspondends, although differing as to details, confirm the reports of the pacific change in BRussia’s attitude toward Turkey. The conclusion of $he armietice is considered certain. TCHERNAYEFP’S ARROGANCE. Minister of War Nicolich wrote to General Tcher- Rayo complaining of the misconduct of some of the Russian volunteers, and requesting him to prevent a fecurrence thereof, otherwise ho would make repre- Bentations to the Czur. General Tchernayeff, ex Asperated at this action of the Minister, wrote to Prince Milan demanding the removal of M. Nicolich. A Cabinet council was summoned, in which Prime Minister Ristics supported the War Minister i declfred that the entire ministry was responsible for bis action, and if Mr. Nicolich resigned, all would resign. Subsequently the Minister of tho Interior went to Deligrad to endeavor to compromise with Gen- eral Tchcrnayeff, M. Nicolich, however, resigned, and matters now remain in suspense, pending the return of the Minister of the Interior. Prince Milan is much irritated at M. Nicolich’s resignation and General Tchernayeff’s arrogance. Tho Ministry have Yho support of public opinion in upholding the dignity ef the government. General ,Tchernayeff’s conduct is generally condemned. Genera! Doctoroff has resigned his pogttion as General Tchernayefl’s chief ot staff, and bas been appointed commander of.the Army of the Yimok. General Protich, a Servian, replaces himon General Tchernayefl’s staff. HUNGARY'S INFLUENCE, Prince Auersperg, President of tho Austrian Coun- wil, replying in the Retchsrath to interpellations on the Eastern question, declared Austria’s policy was, above everything, to maintain peace, consequently, any aspi- ration toward the acquisition of foreign territory was but of the question. Count Andrassy could not suffer bis policy to be influenced by the inetrests of tho differ- ent nationalities, but soloty by those of the ontire em- pire, Ho would continue to resolutely strive for tho maintenance of peace and tho amelioration of the con, Aition of the Christians in Turkey. The resignation of the Servian Minister of War is tonsidered inevitable, Ivonviteb, chief of Prince Milah’s staff, will probably be his successor. THK PORTE’S VERSION OF THK LATE BATTLE. The Porte bas telegraphed to its agents abroad a | summary of the recent fighting and the results. Tho flespatch says:—‘‘The Turks stormed a fortification on a high mountain, which is considered to be the key to tho Servian position at Doligrad, They carried other wtrenchments of lees importanes, and took Coumik, near the Weligrad bridge, where wero the Servian headquarters, occupied Djinimin}, a large vil- lage beyond Coumik on the road to Krushevatz, and stormed sevoral entrenchments, The Servians fled; their losses are enormous. On the side’of Mitrovitza the Servian attack in the direction of Chatal was re- puised with heavy loss. BERVIA AGAIN APPEALS To THE rowERs. * Intelligent witnesses, just returned from Deligrad, report that the Servians are enduring foarful priva- tone, On Sunday last 600 wounded were lying at inns and catés, which were used as nospitals, Ialf of these people had wounded themselves in order to pro- cure their discharge. It is officially denied that the Bervians, in conscquence of the recent defeats, bas again asked for the interference of tho Powers in favor ot peace. 1t is reported in Berlin that Turkey is cndeav- oring to treat directly with Servia. ENGLAND'S ENERGY, The troop ship Himalaya its preparing to take six tompanies of the Royal engineers and two of the transport corps to join the British Mediterrahean floct, The order was given some days ago, when the aspect of affairs was more threatening than now, BPANISH TROURLES, In convection with the recent insult to the Spanish Ambassador to Italy by the committee appointed to Superintend the reception to the Spanish ptigrims at the Vatican, the Spanish government has issued an order probibiting the return to Spain of prelates who while im Rome failed to call upon the Ambassaaor, The ord pecially mentions the Archbishop of Grenade. Tho government is still energetic in its measures against the participants in the recently di tovered conspiracy. Fresh arrests have been ordered, Tho rising was to have begun at Seville. A military insurrection was to have taken place at the same time, together with a revolt in the navy at Ferrol and Cauiz.

All the successful can- didates in Berlin are progressists, AN BARTAQUAKE IN ITALY. A sharp shock of earthquake was felt at Tivoll on Thursday afternoon. THE WEATHER, The weather in London yesterdey was dull, THR POLE YET UNDISCOVERED. The Arctic expedition has, unfortunately, been un- successful. It has accomplished no more than the Pandora did last year. Tho Alert, Captain Nares, ar- rived at Valentia Bay at half-past two o'clock youter- day afternoon, The Discovery and Alert parted com. pany in the middle of the Atlantic. The Admiral at Queenstown telegraphs that the Discovery is expected to arrive hourly, THE CRUISE IN BBIEF, Tho Alert and Discovery left Port Foulke on July 29, 1875, and entered the ice off Cape Sable, After a severe and continuous struggle they reached the north side of Lady Franklin Bay, where the Discovery was left in winter quarters, The Aler¢ pushed on and reached the limit of navigation on the shore of tho Polar Sea. The teo varied in “thickness, being in some places 150 feet deep. President Land, hereto- fore indicated on the Arctic maps, does not exist. The Alert wintored in latitude 82 deg. 27 sec, At this point the sun was invisible 142 days, and a temperature the lowest ever recorded was experienced. A detach- * ment with sledgces was despatched northward. It was absent seventy days, and reachod latitude 83 deg. 20 sec. Another party rounced Cape Colombia, tho northernmost point of America, and traced 220 miles westward from Greenland, and also explored far to the eastward, Those sledge par- ties met with no game and suffered from scurvy. Hans Peterson, the interpreter, died forty days after both feet had been amputated for frost bite, John Porter, of the Alert, and James Hans and Charles Paul, of tho Discovery, died om the sledging expeditions, WITHIN FOUR HUNDRED MILES OF THK POLE. During the sledge journeys the ice was so rugged that it was only poasible to advanco a mile a day. Dur- ing the winter rich collections in the department ot nataral history were mado and many valuable scientific observations wero taken, Excellent coal was found near the place where the Discovery wintered, The expedition experienced tho - coldest weather ever registered, the temperaturo being fifty- nine degrees below zero for a fortnight, andJalling onco to 104 degrees below treezing point All tbe members of the expedition declare it impos- sible to get nearer tho pole than their northern. ex- ploring party, which penetrated to within 400 milos ot it. On the return from their sledge journeys the men were in a very helpless condition, and it was necessary tocarry some of them on the slodges, The planking ot tho Alert was much damaged by the ice. A member of the expedition telegraphs to the Daily News that the northermost land reached was im latitude 83.07, After that thero was foe. The point furthest west reached was in longitade 85. Lady Franklin’s Straits is really a bay. Petermann Fiord was clozed by a glacier. The north- ernmost point in Greenland seen was in latitude 82 57, THE PANDORA. ‘The Pandora, when spoken by the Alert, reported her ecrew slightly damaged by the ice, The Pandora called at Littleton Island and Cape Isabella, but was ‘unable to reach Capo Sabine, As tho expedition did not touch at Littleton Island on its retarn, it missed tho letters left by the Pandora. Tho health of tho crews, witn the exceptions already mentioned, bas been good. Frost bites were severe, but not numerous, No Esquimaux were seen, nor were any icebergs met with beyond Cape Union: The expedition encountered great difculties in re- turning, Tho Alert’s rudder bolt was damaged. The vesseis left Smith’s Sound September 9. They sig- nalled the Pandora October 16, all well. The Alert parted from the Discovery in a gale on October 19, She will shift her rudder at Valentia and proceod to Queenstown to coal. + The price of the Henraxp to-day and henceforth will be three cents, 1'THE CENTENNIAL ABROAD. M. DU SOMMERARD, THE FRENCH COMMIS- SIONER, SENDS HIS OPINION OF AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN TO A GEBMAN FRIEND— HOW A MAN* TALES WHO, KNOWING THE TRUTH, DARES TO TRLL FALSEHOODS, [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HURALD BY CABLE. } Panqs, Oct. 27, 1876, The Ameridan residents of Paris are greatly in censed at a letter printed in the Figaro this morn- ing, attacking the management of the Centennial Exposition. The letter is translated from the Ger- man newspapers, and was written by Mf. Du Som- merard, chief of the Commissioners for France at Philadelphia, to a friend in Germany. BEARING FALSE WITNESS. The letter abounds in the most malicious and shameless falsehoods. There is absolutely not even 8 grain of truth in any one statement contained in the letter, as I, fresh from the Exposition, can tes- tify. There was a small fire in the Turkish depart- ment, but the damage was trifling, and the accideng ‘was due to the carelessness of employés of the ex- hibitors. I send the text in full by.mail, so that the author may be propertly called to account. The let- ter may be summarized as follows:— ARSON BY THE AMERICANS, “The accounts transmitted to me from my deputy,” says M. Sommerard, ‘are of the most griev- ous character. Americans themselves set fire to buildings containing the empty cases of French goods, hoping to destroy the French merchandise and articles for exhibition stored in the galleries. Asecond attempt of the same kind has been made within the last month. TUR CENTENNIAL POLICR ARE SCOONDRELS. “Worse than all this,” writes M. Sommerard, warming up to his subject, “the police employed by the Centennial Board are purposely chosen from the worst and most degraded elements in the United States, THE KEEPERS ARE THIEVES. “The keepers are thieves without exception,” continues the dignified critic. “They steal openly from the exhibitors in the French department and all others. THE JUDGES ARE VENAL. “There exists an understanding between these knaves and the judges,” declares the veracious commentator. “The judges call up the rogues for a hearing—when complaints are made—at hours un- known to the complainants, and, as a result, no wit- nesses of the criminals’ guilt being present, they are uitted. oy THE PALIS OF BOBBERS. “Even worse than this, if such @ thing be possi- ble,” this sober observer continues. “The thieves | count on the judges themselves to give them Signal when the discreet moment has arrived to be- gin the pillage.” NO VIRTUE AMONG AMERICAN WOMEN. This outrageous epistie concludes with a vile at- tack upon the virtue and manners of American women which cannot be transmitted by cable or re- produced in print. There is every probability that the recall of the author, and an immediate explana- tion, will be insisted upon by the American Ministry. Lhope to be able to ascertain the animus of the writer when he sent out such a letter, The price of the HERALD oom and henceforth ‘will be Uuree cents. AMERICAN ‘CITIZENSHIP.

THE Pi Aduress of Resident Northern Born Merchants, STATEMENT OF NATIVE MERCHANT: Convamta, sc, Oct. 27, 1876, Tho army of ocenpation in South Carolina has gained greater notoriety by its transportation on tho ratlroads of the country and through tho newspapers than it ever will by any political triumphs it may achieve in the coming election. 1% consists of an imposing military headquarters, staff, aides, quartermaster and commis- sary departments, clerks, orderlies, tho full comple- ment of officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, for about forty companies, and in ull from 1,200 to 1,500 men, rank and file, Some of the companies number fifteen men, some twenty-three, some thirty, and the largest of them not over thirty-five. From this state- meat it will bo seen that [have rather ovorestimated the number of men all told, and as they aro distrib- uted over a large territory in the upper portion of the State it will readily be ¢oncetved how utterly ineffective they would be if such an insurrec- tion as Governor Chamberlain and the President allege, existed. Governor Chamberlain himself elaims that Hampton’s meetings have been attended in sev- eral counties by from 1.500 to 2,000 mounted and armed riflemen, a force more than equivaicnt and, according to the Governor, just as effective as the army now oc- cupying the State, PURPOSE OF THE TROOPS, 1t is clearly evident, from the utter insignificance of this force, thi while no insurrection or armed vio- lence was apprehended by the President, the objeck of sending the troops there was to overawe and intimidate the colored and white democratic voters aad to consolidate the negro re- publican voto as far as possible by a display of the force and power of tho national government. This aspect of the military situation 1s contirmed by the extremo reticence of the oiicers at hoadquarters as td the disposition of the forces and the air of mystery and gravity that surrounds all the movements of tho troo) { an actual condition of war ox- rst greater caution could not be observed to conceal from the enemy the plan of campaign, and where the strong and the weak points lay in the field. Altogether the military are placed in rather a ludicrous ana farcical position, a charit- able view of tho situation will oasily account for the modesty and reticence at headquarters regarding t! assigument of the troops. Under these circumstances the Hrgatp correspondent sought elsewhere for infor- mation, and obtained at leas tially correct sta ment of nearly all the troops lar us they have be located, WHERE THE TROOPS ARK STATIONED, The whereabouts of seven or sight companies I have not been able to discover. Seven companies have been assigned to Edgetield courty, under the com- mand of Major Kline, of the United States Army. Th county 18 ciaimed by tho democrats. and is regarded by the Governor as peculiarly turbulent ond davgerous. Hence the largo forco located there, Barnwell county has been arsigned three companies, par- the scene of a portion beg because it wi ot tho Ellenton conflicts, bat more probably because the democrats claim to havo mado heavy inroads Into the colored vote, This is one of the counties the Gov- ernor alleges to be tosurrectionary. Peace 1s pre- servod in Aiken county by four companies of troops. The repuplicans carried this county last election by a Majority of sixty-three, but the democrats have made au active canvass, and are for the first time organized there, A large number of republicans have declarea for Hampton and the county i8 also one of the insur- rectionary counties, One ter ny has been assigned to Laurens county, in A. jace’s Congressional district, another county cialined by the democrats, One company bas been stationed in oach of the counties of Fairfleld and Newberry,” both doubt- ful counties and ono each in York and Lancaster, both democratic counties, In Wallace's district the counties of Abbeville and Kersbaw have each one company, both of them inclined to be demo- cratic by a large accession of the negro vote. Charlos- ton county has one company at Catnhoy and Dariin ton has two at Society fill. Six companies still re- main at Columbia awaiting assignment, readiness in the event of a disturbance in any locality not already garrisoued, BTORIES TOLD THK NEGROES. The republican leaders are already availing them- selves of the presence of tho troops by circulating re- ports among tho negroes well calcuiated to overcome any demooratic tendencies on their part. They ure told by agents that General Grant, who treed them, scut the army here to sec that they vote for Chamber: lain aud for Hayes and Wheeler, and to staud by the republican party or they will be it back in slavery if Hampton i elected. that has Another andthe most outrageous mandat bee! ued among them, and of which proof has been furnished me, sto tho effect that tho soldiers havo orders to give any colorea man twenty days to leave the State who caste his vate for Hainpton. This is tho sort of intimidation that is pructised under the pro- tecting wgis of the national flag and the United States Army in South Carolina One ot the United States companies ordered to the town of Camden, in Kershaw county, were tendered the use of the Town Hall and its surrounding en- closure for quarters by the citizens, The officers and men were eager to accopt the proffered hospitality rather than go into tents, but upon application to head- quarters, as to whether they should, they received an intimation that ;t would be moro consistent with mill- tary discrpline to decline. fi COLONEL BUTLER RELEASED, Colonel A. P. Butler and ‘others confined at Aiken were reieased on bail to-day, Butler’s bond being placed at $10,000, four at $5,000 and the remaining Prisoners, including twelve nowly arrested, at $2,000. ‘wo still remain in custody, who will be released to- morrow.
