NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1877.—-WITH SUPPLEMENT. THE FRENCH CRISIS. Gambetta Boldly Arraigns MacMa- hon’s Reactionary Cabinet, MONARCHICAL PLOTS DENOUNCED. The National Sovereignty To Be Finally Affirmed. “SUBMIT OR RESIGN.” Probable Effect of Thiers’ Manifesto on the Result. OPINION IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND, | [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.1 fi PARIS, Oct, 8, 1877 M. Gambetta has issued a manifesto to the elec- tors of the Twentieth arrondissement of Paris. In Mt he says:—“Citizens, alter four long montns of excesses, administrative pressure and the most deplorable proceedings relative to oficial candida- tures, France at last speaks. She will say in a few days what she thinks of the men of the 16th of May, the alliesand protectors of the men of the 2d ot December, the servants of Henry V. and the agents Of the syllabus and the Pope, who are all sheltered under the patronage of the President, doubuless for the better protection of republican institutions, THE CABINET’S REACTIONARY POLICY. “France will say what she thnks of the personal Policy of the Chief of the State and the aristocratic and retrograde pretensions of the De Broglie Cabi- inet; of the unjustiMable dissolution of the Cham- ber of Deputies; of the miserable war waged by the government against newspaper hawkers, schoolmasters and other defenceless victims; of the projects and plots of this coalition of monarch- ists who are preparing for her three years of in- testine conflicts and divisions, to be followea in 1880 by a terrible crisis, and perhaps revolution.” UNFORGOTTEN INSULTS. The manifesto, after strongly censuring the un- licensed violence of the reactionary press, says:— “France will pronounce on the policy inaugurated by the letter dismissing the republican Ministry, on the order of the day to the troops at the Long champs review, on the Presidential Message of the 19th of September and on that system of govern- ment which the chief of the Executive power vin- dicates as a right above the constitution.” WHAT MUST COME, “France will declare tor the Republic. She will ®ay she intends to make an end of anarchy and dictatorships, withdraw the nation, as wellas the individual, definitively from clerical rule and insure that the public force shali never be em- ployed except in the service of the law. I con- Adently declare that France, despite the mancu- vres against the freedom of her votes, will scorn the oficial candidature and its agents, spurn the royalists, Cesarists and clericals—both knaves and partisans of violence. GAMBETTA’S CONFIDENCE, “She will condemn dictatorial policy and leave the chief of the Executive power, who is trans- formed into a plébiscitary candidate, no alternative but to submit or resign. We, ourselves, sure of the support of the country, shall know how to make its will prevail over a powerless and incorrigible mi- nority. The union of all good Frenchmen will keep us discreet and render us invincible for the country and the Republic.” WILL THIS HASTEN A CRISIS? ‘The conservative papers strongly censure M. Gambetta's manifesto, some of them declaring that the real crisis has now begun. The republican papers warmly praise the manifesto. ANOTHER INSANE PROSECUTION. The Francais announces that the government has ordered the prosecution of M. Gam- betta for his manifesto. It says:—“The audacious reproduction in his manifesto of the phrase ‘si faut se sowmettre ou se demelire’ is not only arepetitionof the offence against the Marshal, but, as M. Gambetta has al- realy been condemned therefor by the Tribunal of the Seine, it constitutes an outrage against the Magistracy whose decisions are publicly ignored.” CONFIRMATION OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF GAMBETTA’S INDICTMENT—ALL QUIET IN PARIS. Lonpon, Oct. 8, 1877. The Times’ Paris special correspondent confirms the Francais’ announcement that M. Gambetta is to be prosecuted again. Perfect tranquillity, however, prevails in Paris, The republicans are too confident of success at the eiections to be enticed into any demonstrations, BFFECT OF THIERS’ MANIFESTO IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND—OPINIONS OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH PRESS. [From the Siéele.] Tho letter of M. Thiers to the constituency of the Ninth arrondissement of Paris tar exceeds the tmpor- bance of a simplo electoral circular, It 18 a manifesto addressed to the whole nation, and which in the pres- ent ciroumstances cannot fail to cause a profound im- in. Nevor did the intelligence of the illustrious ir exhibit itself with greater jucidity; never was his language moro clear, preciso and persuasive; never did bis thought attain such elevation or pene- trate so far into the future, It would seem that tho approach of death had increased tentoid the vigor of his mind, and that, leaning over tho unfathomable abyss, ho had recotved from it a bright ray of light, BEYOND CONTRADICTION. [From the Rappel.] The manifesto of M. Thiers will hare a considerable Ipfluence on the eicctions. Our readers will naturally havo perused it, and we have no need to tell them on what points we should be opposed to him, They know, for instance, that we should not praise the dis- ived Chamber for not having voted the amnesty, nor of not having reduced the Budget of Worship, but for baving increased it,”’ nor for a certain numuver of other things. Tuis manifesto of M. Thiers demon- Birutes that the Jave Chamber was not radical, and he shows it too clearly, lt would be a very cusy turk for us to show that the electoral address of M. Thiers i not radical, But this is nota point which wil pre- judice it in the opinion of those for whom it is moro particularly meant, and our objections in their eyes will only invest i with more merit. While, however, there ure some points on which we should oppose sty how tany are there im which it cannot be coniradicied by any one? A TEXT BOOK FOR ALI, [From the Bion Publica} Tho manifesto may be divided in three parts, In the first his object is to reply to the pretexts which bave Leen invoked to justify tho dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies. It proves with asuperabundance of facts and arguments that the House did nothing to alarm conservative intere wed its dis- osition to be conservative, ‘In the sec yOrtiOt Mt. Tolers reeostavlishes the vority of fac ¢ reviews | of men and parties the Republic since 1870; be points to bree pretenders claiming to sit on the throne; juestion of monarchy or re- ‘ance; that this is the ques- it before the country ti as it bas not to be since 1870, M.

He re- Views at the same time the principles of the constitus tion, For republicans the iatter portion 1s a good summary of the chief argumonts which t ought to wocate, For undeciaed, timid, vactilating men who never know how to think for themselves the document must produce the very greatest effect, formuiz the princip! ADDRESSED TO ALL FRANCE, [From the Dévate.] It was specially written in view of the troubled time through which we are now passing, It1s ad- Gressed to all France, and every elector should read it before voting. No o Pi has nothing vo learn from M, Thiers relative to his rights and his duties, The great misfortune of the age is the dis- order and contusion which the incoherence of events and the caprices of the authority have spread everywhere, There were formerly, in 1830, and also in 1848, fixed principles on which weil regulated minds were tn accord. Woe are now in an intellectual cuaos, the precursor of the most lamentable catastrophes. That subversion existed alrcady at the close of the Empire, but tt was not perceived, and careless joy reigned on the edge of the precipice, At present it can be seen and folt. Wo suffer from it, and we do pot know how to escape it. IT WILL UXERCISE AN IMMENSE INFLUENCE, [From the Temps} At Orst sight one is disposed to regret that the ad- dress is so long and to ask one’s self whether, shorter, 4t would have produced more effect. But after read- ing it no one would abridge it by a single line. It was necessary that the history of the last few years should be retraced with such clearness and that the justice of our clai jhould be affirmea with such authority. If the address to the tors of the Ninth arrondisse- m ire to roach the masses it will i influence on the id inspirations public mea will e derive from it, A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING, (From the Figaro.) There is @ little of everything init, shreds of Speeches from M. Gambetta, articles of M. About, pro- fessions of faith of M. Barodet, homilies of m. Jules Simon, pleadings of M. Challemel—everything except the words of M. Thiers.

Roland’s mare was the finest in the world, but she had one defect—she was dead, Just the same ts the case with the manifesto of M. Theirs, Not, how- evor, that it isthe finest of such productions!

We are willing to order not be suspected of aspersion— sketch, the last part of it evidently betrays that fact, tly M. Thiers desired to take bis revenge forthe 24th of May, and the Lefts pretend to present 6 rough notes as bis political testament. We the course adopted is a misfortune. Jactum, os the deceased himself called it, is an clectoral circular, in which the defunct at the same time put forward nis candidateship to the legislative representa- tion and to the Presidency ol the Republic, Naturally, that writing regards a determined situation of which the author was the keystone, But, tho writer being dead, what remains, we aek, of the eight or ten columns which the journals devote to the publication of the said document? Nothing, nothing, nothing, What was possible not long sinco 1s 80 no longer, “NOT DANGEROUS BUT TIRESOME,” [From the Pays.) The document is long, wiredrawn and heavy, and we have only to make on {t one remark, which will describe the paper with regard to the effect 1t may roduce. lt isnot dangérous, because it is tiresome. jover was a rhapsody throughout more prosy aod more maundering. A PARTHIAN ARROW. [From the London Times. ] M, Thiers has shota Parthian arrow. A voice from the gravo may prove too strong for the master of many legions, Frenchmen in the provinces, above all things, desire order and quiet, Parisians fear nothing so muchas ridicule. M, Thiers has made the present government of France supremely ridicu- Jous, and at the samo timegnas proved it to be a source of disorder and unquiet, There is something very humorous in his picture of France waiting, as her present rulers seem to wish her to do, until her futuro King shall havo unlearned the preju- dices of a lifetime, or shall have mastered tne rudiments of economical and political sctence, While the Comte de Chambord is imbuing himeel! with the spirit of the nineteenth century, or the Prince im- ete 18 finishing his schooling, France ig expected to eep hersel! unsettied, that she may be a docile sub- yect to her future master when the monarchical cabal have settled who that master ts to be. Wecan imugino the feeliugs of the Parisian as he reads this, But tho Party opposed to a republic scarcely, perhaps, hoped to gain Paris to their side; their trust was in the sover and More business-like provincial, ready, as they hoped, to lend a4 willing ear to the advico of his and not indispesed toobey the orders of his Ma: bis Prefect. He would, doubtioss, vole for ment of order and peace; his con: ive instincts would sbrink from revolution; his piety would forbid the voice of the Church. “M. I'niers has dispelled this delusion, He has shown that the stability which was almost the only merit the mo narchical party pretended to claim is the least which they really possess, If France elects for a monarch 4 chooses civil war, which alone can decide which of the riva! pretenders to the throno shall be selected, It she elects for a Republic she adheres to the constitution now by law established, whose moderation has been abundantly proved by recent ex- perienco—a constitution upon which alone a majority ol Frenchmen can agree, and which alone can pretend to that permanence and security which the ardent desire of a nation weary of change and sick with un- certainty. The voice of the Church may, perhaps, bo on the side of personal rule, but its uttcrances of late have not commended themselves to moderate men by their good taste or judgment, and it may be doubted whether Frenchinen of the nineteenth century are pre- pared meekly to surrender their treedom and right of maneging their own allairs in obedience to the man- dates of bishops acting under the orders of tho Vati- cau. Religion, they bave loarnt by this time, is one thing and the management of state affairs by eccies!- astics 1s another, What tho immediate results of the elections may be, though, no doubt, of vital momont to the statesmen and officials whose carecrs may be made or marred thereby, docs not so closely concern other nations; but the whole of Europe has an interest in the temper and spirit in Which the government of France is ad- ministered, into whatever hands it may fall, English- men, above all, must anxiously watch all experiments 1n constitutional freedom and will be the first to re- Joice It their nearest neighbor attains security and prosperity by tho same path which they nave trodden to the samo goal, The Krenen liberals hi hown fortit In adversity; thoy now seem likely, if wo do not misjudge the lutare, to have the chando before Jong of showing whether they have learned the harder lesson how to practise moderation in pr mey hope that th k will be made casier to them it they lay to heart jast wordsof tho statesman whom they bave just lost, AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENT, (From the Daily News.) The moan attempt of the French Ministry to limit the circulation of the electoral adress of M. Thiers can only, like tueir other plots, plaguo its inventors, It is no mere party address; it 1s an important histori- cal document, well worthy of the place it seems destined to occupy in the political annals of France, The death of M.

This much of the report he believed, but there appears to bo doubts about 400 men invading the two towns of Isleta and San Elizario, Mr. Schleicher had not heard what Judge Howard had done that promptod tho Mexi- can marauders to the outrage, but supposed be had rendered some decision against some ;rominont catuo thiet and they took this way of revenging thomselves Judge Howard presides over the Circuit Court of El Paso county, CONDITION OF THE FRONTIER. This act would call the attention of the country to the missrable condition of the whole Mexican fron- tier. It is over ono thousand miles from Brownsville to San Elizario, and the only troops protecting this vast territory aro a few companies on the Lower Rio Grande under General Ord, and a small detachment under Lieutenant Bullis at Presidio del Norte, halt way between Brownsvillo and the head waters ot the Rio Grande. Fort Bliss, which used to stand near these two towns of Isleta and San Eliza- rio, and Fort Quitman, about one hundred miles be- Jow on the river were dismantled jn January last, and the nearest point whero troops are stationed Is Fort Davis, 250'miles from the old site of Fort Bli Here thero 1s one company of colored regulars, of scarcely apy account against Mexicans, and they must travel ninety miles trom the interior to reach the Rio Grande, He believed thia fresh outrage would arouse Congress to some action for the relict of that locality, He does not want annexation of territory nor do the people he represents, but they insist on having the right as American citizens to enjoy prop- ‘or corresponding date lust Average temperature VOM. sss sees 58% | erty apd to be secured in tbat right by tho = government, Mr. Schieicher docs not regard this controversy as a thing to be settled with the government of Mexico, but with certain lawless individuals, who cannot be rostrained by any raling President of that country and must bo treated as outlaws and bandits, He would manage tho affair, without any cousultation with Diaz, by simply placing force enough on the ito Grando to protect it thoroughiy and exterminate the professional bandit), AN EXPLANATION OF THE TROUBLE BY ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE SALT LAKES—MEXICANS DISSATISFIED WITH BEING COMPELLED TO PAY FOR SALT.

Howard is son-in-law of Zimpelman and has charge of the lakes, As the despatch from San Antonio indicates, tho difficulty has arison because the Mexicans have recently boen required to pay for the sait, Before the claims were located by our roprosentatives the Kall was obtainod by them free of Charge.
