Excitement About the Elections in the United States, RECEIVINS THE RETURNS, Stage Talk and Society Chat- terings. THE SOMMERARD AFFAIR. Panis, Nov. 10, 1876. The Paris office of the New Yorx Heratp has for the last three days been one of tho most animated and lively places ip the French capital. Frenchmen passing by stopped to peer inquirimgly through the windows or questioned cagerly persons issuing from the building to learn the cause of this unusual /upage. In thoir ignorance of the Kuglish language and the almost equal ignorance of French on the part of those questioned the partics inquiring generally went away with curioasly bewildered ideas of what was pa: r7 imside, The only conclusion they could come to, and they were not far out in this, was that the Americans were agitated by some unusual event, and that they were unsatisiactory people to seek any information from. It was fortunate it was so, tor if they bad been iua position to undersiand each other, the gathering outside would in all likelihood have become s0 incon- venient as to call for the interference of the ever watebful police, AS IX THR OLD DAYS. How shail I best describe the scenes that were to be witnessed in the interior of tho building? By taking your readers back to the exciting times in the old Heratp office in Nassau street, when the imperfect election arrangements of those days rendored the re- turns slow and unsatistactory, aud when they were consequently Itable to correction hourly, Owing to the distance and multiplicity of the sources of information (most of them foreign) from whieh the reports came trickling im at long intervals in the present case the agitation and excitement became proportionately great, and many and large were the bets offered by those who generally profit by such uncertainty to make alittle money. ‘The first evoning, however, tho Tilden meo bad it all their own way, and as the tele- grams poured in his partisans became rampant. Bets of cight aud ten to one were offered ov zhe elec- tion of their favorite, but the republicans had lost all courage, and 1m no instance were the odds, great as they were, accepted. A despatch from the Hxratp office, forwarded after ono o'clock at night, announced that Tilden required only one vote to secure the ma: jority, and that Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina were still doubtful. As time wears on and tho lapse of twenty-four hours brings uo change in the relative position of the parties as described in tne aforesaid despatch, the Tilden men are obviously losing courage, notwithstanding that the telegrams of the English and French journals assure them thut they have won, and that the London Times has devoted a leading article to the celebration of their victory. They know too much about the uncertainties of first returns in their own elections to feol confident of the statements furnished by foreign journals anu foreign vews ug: ncies, which, by the bye, are nearly all favorable to the democratic party; and when they are told that the States are still doubtful which are to secure the victory to their can. disate they fecl as if the long coveted resuit had slipped from their grasp. The republicans, who had been “hoping against hope,”’ on the contrary, feel comforted and elated, and at the hour at which | write believe that there is still a chance for thoir man. “MONSIRUR TEELDEN.”” Occasionally through the throng of excited partisans of the two candidates nay bo seen a French journalist tmidly piercing his way to tho private office of the establish ment in quest of materials for an article upon the election or for a biography of Monsieur ‘ Teelden,”” who, he has been led to believe, is “the coming man."” He looks aghast when he is referred to the HrraLp files and to the books in the library, for not one out of ten French newspaper men can read English, and they come to the office persuaded that the work will be done for them. And well do thoy deserve that this gratui- tous labor shall be undertaken for them. Let me just give you an example. I sent yesterday to an evening paper one of tne Heraup despatches relative to the election, translated into French. To my astonishment, on opening the paper in question in the evening I found my despatch attributed to ‘its own special cor- respondent,” with, to give it greater authenticity, the following note in brackets :—*‘The despatch of wur cor- Fespondent is not in contradiction with that vi ite Henavp’s Agency, published above; the repubdlica: and the democrats each claim to be succeasiul in Florida. —Note by the Editor.” THK SOMMBRARD INQUIRY. I telegraphed to you yesterday that the Du Sommer- ard lewer abe mado the subject of an interpelia- e Senate, not because of the offensive things whieh it contains against America and Amoricans, but because gf the unpatriotic attack which it makes upon the French Exhibition of 1878 and its promoters, This latter outburst, an ebuliition of Booapartist spite, is embraced in the portion of the letter which was suppres ed by the Figaro, and which has since been translated from the columns of the Deutsch Zei- feng of Vienna, in which {t originally appeared. It is impossible to read it without feeling a strong con- ‘vietion that no other band could have penned if than that to which it is attributed. It bears that inherent stamp of authenticity which no one accustomed to, his sort of evidence can doubt for a moment Ot coarse, after M. du Sommerard’s solemn denial, a denial offered to be made upon oath. | do not for & moment contend that the portion of the letter which refers to the Philadel. pbhia Exhibition is genuine; but this I do say, and it isthe eral impression here, that the part of it im which he comments upon tho preparations for the approaching French Exhibition is unmist Hy bis. Iteccords so perfoctly with his asual mode of express- ing himself that it carries with it conviction to the minds of all those who re had opportunity of approaching him. It is several days since it has boon published in Paris, and as yet no contradiction of it has appeared on the partof M. du Sommerard. It may therefore be fairly presumod to be authentic, as the denial given inthe one case cannot bo held to affect the other, It is not for me to find fault with the strictures which M. du Sommerard has beeo pleased to make on bis own compatriots and their works, That will be done, as I have already stated, throagh the medium of ao inierpellation in the Senate, and | eoderstand that if the reply of the Ministry is HOt satisfactory it is intended to move for commis- tion of inquiry so a8 to bring out all the tacts, M. du Sommerard ia an official, and therefore amenable to the goverumest for his acts. OPFENRACK. ‘The theatrical or rather lyrical event of the week has been the production of Offenbach's tour act che- reus, “La Bolte aa Lait,” at the Boufles The over- ture i sunply but neatly scored and introduces several of the most prominent airs of the work. The pianigrimo passages are cortainly preferable to the usually boisterous ones in overtures of this kind. The first air, sung by M. Fagore, was extremoly weil reo- dered, and was encored no less than three times. Tho ertiat showed himself deserving of the position which be is avout to obtain at the Opéra Comique.

Gounod sold to Lemoinne, the well known musio editor of Paris, the music of his new opera, “Polyeucte,”? for the sum of 100,000f, and received 20,000f. in advance before the music wus finished, Mrs, Weldon, the quondam friend of the composer, fluding that the work is completed and ready for per- formance, now comes forward and asserts that Gounod made her a present of the score, with all its rights, and that sho isin & position to prove it, This being the case, she maintains that Gounod has uo Tight to sell or even publish it Gounod is urging Lemojpne to commence a suit against Mrs, Waldo but the puviisher declines and the composer is cons queatly placed ina position of great embarrassment, Another illustration uf the danger of female friend- ships!
