U. & GRANT, THE FRANKLIN. OPINIONS OF NAUTICAL MEN AS TO THE STORIES TOUCHING HER WHEREABOUTS—COMMANDER BRAINE SAYS SHE WAS NOT SIGHTED. In the great and contimued excitement over the uncertain result of the Presidential elec- tion, whien has so wholly absorbed the public mind during the last three days, the topic of ‘Tweed’s return has been overlooked. Beyond the announcement that a vessel resem‘ling tho Franklin bas been seen in distress at sea, no mention has been made of the matter. When the Franklin sailed from Vigo with the great wanderor on board, there was much speculation as to what, if any, political effect his return would have. It was generally believed to have no political significance, but as his expected arrival and the day of election came nearer and nearer, the two things became associated in every- day gossip. The election came first, and Tweed has soarcely been heard of sinco, except in starting inter- rogatory bulletins, asking for instead of giving infor- mation. “Has the Franklin gono down?” and ‘ls Tweod lost at sea?’? are the enlightening placards Presented to our gaze. A reporter of the Hxxatp yesterday called on Commander Braine, atthe Brooklyn Navy Yard, to learn from him if there were really any danger at the présent time of the loss of the Franklin, He scouted the idea and said he did not expect the Frauklia before now. Sh tout a vessel, he said, as there was on the ocean, and could take up her propeller wheel and sail to the world’s end. Her com- mander, he continued, was, one of the most efficient officers in the service, and would, no doubt, come along in good ume, She might have possibly en- countered adverse winds, but there was not the slight- est ground for any fear that she was lost at sea. In yesterday’s HxraLp was published tho parrative of Captain Barnecker, of the bark Norma, who claimed to havo encountered, of Newfoundland, on the night of November 4, a water-logged man-ol-wi pposed to be the long expected Franklin. Commander Braine ridiculed the ides that the vessel referred to above was the Franklin, and considered the reports merely sen- sational, ‘A H&nAtp reporter yosterday provided himself with copy of the statement of Captain Barnecker, of the bark Norma, and set out to ascertain the opinions of sea captains and such otber marine authorities as be might encounter relative to the auinenticity of the 4éorman skipper’s yarn. People who read the story generally fated to see in itany reason for appreven-, sion about the safoty of the Franklin, and it was come monly supposed that Secretary Robeson allowed him: seil to be duped by a sensational report, and gave hin?| orders hurriedly and without pausing to investigate IC or even to ascertain its source, If the advices from the Navy Department are correct, and there 18 no reason to doubt them, Captain Jobo H. Russell avd the Uniied Sta steamer Powhatan bave been sent on an exceedingly un- promising wild goose chase. I! any man-ol-war passed the Norma within three ship lengths of her and pursued her way without speaking that bark or displaying any distress signals, there is every reason to believe that she kept on her course and is now no and ‘end, wherever was ‘aay, which Captain Barnec entertained and which he now rat! Poe opiniou, does not reflect very favorably For had her condition been perilous he certainly should have bad the goodness to her, and ‘having the inclination the Means of doing so must have readily occurred to old seaman liko himself. Bat after claiming that the vessel was im distress he says that she passed the Norma without apy display of signals or any evidence of apprebension or panio on board her. Sealaring people who havo perused the Captain’ ment seem inelined to question it on these and echnical grounds, ‘as will appear trom the reportor’s conversation with the officer of a man- ol-war. «What do you think of Captain Barnecker’s story ?”” the reporter asked. “It may be true,” said the naval gentleman, ‘but it sounds to my ear singularly hike bosh. The master of the Norma may ve a gentleman of intelligence; he may be very good pavigator, too—in fact, T doubs neither—but I do think ho bas am extremely active imagination, Why a vessel which be didnot know was a map-oi-war or not should be the #ranklin, afi why he should think her in distress when. he passed by, and utterly ignored the Norma, are matters which i cannot as yet understand, Capttin Barneeker may mean well, of but it seems to me that the iniormation he bears bas no ref erence whateyer to the jail-siip of William M. Tweod, Remember that the Franklin was poorly suppifed with coal when she left Vigo, and to reach latitude 42, deg. 2 min. north she must have taken a northwesterly course, which would compel ber to sail in the teeth of adverse winds, which at this timeot year biow from Newloundland , Captain Franklyn is not so poor seaman as to take suth a course when he js il hasto meke m 5 under canvas. I ha’ the trades of avail, and perbaps bred ha the Bermudas or pont in that latitude when the heavy gales in athe lattor part of October caught her and they may have driven bor from her course and perhaps eft her in tue uoldrums. Her failing to reach this port sooner is not so remarkable when it is remembered that the Frankiin 18 one of the slowest sailers afloat” Subsequently tue reporter had a conversation with the captain of a sailing vessel who agreed with tho na- val officer in declaring that the Captain of the Frank- Inn could not have determined on a course which would bring him into so northerly a latitude as that in which the Norma sighted the mysterious man-ol-war. said this gentleman, ‘tml there are a great niany dangers to be epvountered 11 seas. Should a storm arise and 4 for at any moment, a sailing ves- farthor north and run riska from gcrous seas, Besides there are strong northwest winds biowing there which many vessels avail the ives of in crossing the ocean and the Franklin Would be obliged to beat up under these and make little or no headway. On leaving bee she cer- tainly sbould have made for the Spanish Main and, I have no doubt, that she did. Captain J. G. Cauldwell, formerly in the United States service, but now unattached, sald that he did not believe the mysterious craft of the torty-second latitude was the Franklin; but, if she was, be was satisfied that there wore enough Bode aboard to keep her in ship shape and insure ber safe arrival in this port, and the delivery of the captive of the main deck cabin into the custody of the finest.officials in the world, ‘Why,’ said the captain, ‘if the vessel Cap- tain Barneckcr saw was a man-ol-war going against a bead sea, with no excitement aboard, depend upoa it she was all right; for craft of that kind have men enough to look after every chip of timber in them when there is need for them. It puzzles me a hit went on to say, “what could bring the Franklin but, perhaps,” the Naval Depart Tweed might know a little about republican as well at democrat and, consequent: dido’’ want bim till alter election; so they told the tain fo make the voyage as long as possibie, and he took care to insure that by taking a northwesterly course.” > Dow soon, tain, would you expect the Frankl: considering her sai! wers?” the reporter asked. “Oh, taking it in that light, you might look for Ler any time between this and the next centennial Wh; = bog et the Uerarp office t, it would do just as well as that United States neue Franklin.” Should there be any grounds of suspicion of fraudy- lent counting on either side it should be reported and de- nounced at once.

Continuing my report of the Labor Congress held in Paris, I have to record that Citizen Lefevre, a jour- neyman shoomaker, who has the grave, sterp look ofa Huguenot captain, ascended the tribune with a slow, thought{ul step, and spoke out as delegate of the re- publican and socialist laborer of the northern city of Doual and its adjacent districts, Ho has a good deal to say for them, and he talks ina straightforward, purposelixe manner, as though he felt himself the rep- resentative of a class whose pationce is nearly ex- hausted, ‘and who mean to have relief, let it cost what it will, and no matter who pays for it. ‘Citizens and Citizenesses,”” says this vocal shoemaker, much unknown as yet to parliaments and fancy reformers, dealing with the labor question in the privacy of furnished apartments, “I say, citizons and citizen- eases!” The shoemaker repeats this form of address eral ‘times, ani as I watch him he seems to me standing up very rigid and.grim, as though he were loading a gun on the old ramrod system, and forcing down the chargo well home to the breech’ before he fired off bis artillery. Ho has done with calling upon his audience, howevér, when once ho bas roured thoir ‘attention, and the ball in which tho Congress ts held has become so silent that you could hear apin fall It w then, from the innermost depths of this hushed still- az, fh which one might fancy that the people’s heart was audibly beating, the voice of Shoomaker Letebvre is lifted up wit a mighty sound, and forms itself into these words ‘You, or some of you—I shoald say some of us—talk of association, and it isa crotchet often discussed in provincial newspapers, and idle folks discourse. THAT TALK 18 NONSENSE. Laborers who are laborers indeed do not dare to form associations. If they did they woald be marched off to prison by the nearest policeman and declared enemies oforder. Perhaps some other name might be found for thom, but they would be put in-jail all the same, and when a workman is in jail his wife starves. Many of the work people I represent aro agricultural laborers and farm servants. Those who are employed around Valenciennes, Doua!, Cambrai, Lille and those dis- tricts cara far too little for them to be able to subscribe for any common object; and associations cannot be formed without money. Moreover, they are apathetic. Hunger and misery have made them cal- lous;*they do not care what happens next. They are in astate Of sullen despair. I sbould tell you that agricultural laborers and minors form the largest part ef the rarai population inthe North of France. Do you want a taituful picture of our lives? If you do, it may be portrayed in three words :. “WORK, HOSPITAL, PRISON.’? Wo laborers are the class which is most known for our accidents and offences. We are most unfurtunate, most wretched. Look here! A miner's wages is twenty-two francs in fifteen days, That is the pay doled out to the minors of Kecarpelles. Farm servants in tho North of Fran paid afranc a day, and classed with animals, are fed on beans und weeds; they r the condition of an agricultural t the account current between i capital, Employers are fond of alluding to accounts; this is ours, A lile’s work on one a few beans, a low weeds, twenty sous @ day on the other.

Pocketbook maker Corsin sat down amidst two dis- tinct rounds of appiause, and CITIZEN DELEGATE MAMET, A GILDER, stood up in tis place. A brisk little man ‘ie Citizen Hamet, and, notwithstanding bis Turkish name, it Sv0n appears that he is a Biblical student of no ordinary attainments, After comparing Priuce Bis- kK to several of the Tsraclitish warriors mentioned iw Holy.

His apeech, indeed, can only be compared to a continuous discharge of artillery. PRESIDENT G) UN, AN ORGAN MAKER by trade, now*io0ks to! tizen Marion, who, thus signalled, moves with feeble steps toward tho triba Citiaen Marion has the aspect of a man who has nut Jong to live and who knows that he is drawing very near to eternity, but who bas come ‘here to do his best, jotlowing the dictates of his conscience with an iron Will and turning neither to the right band nor to the left. He is, however, too weak to speak long, aud altor afew taint words, like the ghosts of language coming trom another world, ho baudy a written paper i ou the secrotaries of the Congress, who peruses ib alow “WORKWOMEN, AROUSE!’” Gitizeness André now rises to explain the vows, desires and aspirations ot workwomeo. ‘Workwomen should do sll their work at home,’ says the citizen- oss, “Going out to work destroys both the health and the morals of women. The working day ior te- male taborers should uever exceed eight hours Night work in manufactories where women are om- ployed should be forbidden by law. The woman's working day should be reduced to eight hours, without dimination of wages; and tbis, together with tbe suppression of night'work, would distribute labor and wages among a larger number of work- women. The wages of men and women should be equal Girls should not be aliowed to work before the ago of thirteen, Co-operative workshops for women’s labof should be established on conditions which would enable them to compote with the munu- facturing convents. Finally we demand that the stan- dard of education among workwomen shall be raised; and that no mau shall henceforth be employed upon labors which are better fitted for the special capacities of women.”? This is a summary of what the ecitizeness André bas to remark at present regarding the vows, desires and aspirations of women. She is repeatedly interrupted by bursts of cheers, Should there be any grounds of suspicion of fraud lent counting on either side it should be reported and de nounced at once, No man worthy the office of President should be will- ing to hold i if “counted in” or placed there by any Sraud. Hither party can afford to be disappointed in the result, but the country cannot afford to have the result tainted by the suspicion of illegal or false returns. U. 8S.
