It is proposed therein that the French Government shal admit aU American productions at the name rate as are imposed ou those of the most favored nations, and riot rrrm. «ither nation imposes a domestic duty upon It. productions, the same duty may be im posed upon the productions of the other party to the treaty. The debate in the House of Commons Lord Harrington’* resolution, instead of hming been as exciting as was anticipated, waadull and spiritless. Very little interest uas exhibited in the subject. Several revolutionary leaders In Mexico attacked the town of Real de Cataroz and were defeat- d. Escobedo has arrived at Monterey and is well treated. On account of their connection with the Berlin Congress, Hobenlobe and Von Bulow hat e received the Grand Cross of the Region of Honor, and MM. Radowiu, Holstein and Busch have received minor grades of 1 he orJer. These appointments are regard ed as an Indication of good feeling between France and Germany. Ex-Cougre*aman Charles Hays, of Ala bama, has, it I* reported, challenged Mr. W. W. Screws, editor of the Montgomery A-brrfurr, to a duel.

Hit statement creates some excitement, and will probably lead to an investigation. Fifteen girls In Cleveland, Ohio, have Im-i n poisoned by milk which they drank for dinner. One has died and another is in great agony. An uualysis has teen ordered. The Maine Radical* have met in conven tion and nominated a Mate ticket. Their platform contains the resolutions usually adopted by Republicans, ami declares that as the next .Senate will lie JJemocratlc, the next House should, by all means, be Re- putdican. Patterson, who tills the seat of a Senator from South Carolina, has stated that the government will probably recede from Its position regarding the United States Reve nue officials indicted for murder in South Carolina. He says Mr. Hayes told him he could not use the army as a /**•*• mmUatus, and he told Hayes he would yet see the necessity of troops In the South. A party of masked men, estimated at from four to five hundred, rode into Monroe, Louisiana, yesterday morning, and took from the jail four negro prisoners charged with murder, and hung them to a tree in the court house square. One had I-ecu sentenced for life, two had been re manded for a new trial, and the fourth had been sentenced, hut had been granted a new trial. Iai»t night two men entered the residence • •f John Baseherc, an old man of ninety- three years, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, knocked him down and bound him. They also tied Ids wife and a lady living with the family, and, having forced Baseherc to tell where hi* money was, robbed him of fifteen hundred dollars. He is thought to be fatally injured. The robbers are supposed to be long to a gang who have committed several similar depredations in that neighborhood. A family of four have been poisoned in New Orleans bv using oxalic acid by mis- jake for .sugar In cooking. One has died, Tint the others may recover. Gladstone made a long speech hi the House of Commons on Lord Hartington’s resolution. He strongly opposed the gov ernment's policy at Berlin from first to last, and said the partition of Turkey, if not as great, w as as complete as that of Poland. For the first time In Its history, he said, the action of the British Government had been inimical to free institutions. He Adjournment of the Potter Com mittee. The Potter Committee, having finished its labors for the present, have adjourned subject to the call of its Chairman. A brief review of what it ha.* done will not be uninteresting. Even the most rabid Republican must confess now that the result of the inves tigation. if nothing else has been accom plished, has been to prove fraud in Lou isiana beyond a peradventure. The tes timony of every witness examined estab lishes this. It may be said that on side of the administration there have been examined Jenks, Mrs. dents, and the visiting -dalesmen, including John Sher man. On the side of the State of Lou isiana there have been examined Ander son, supervisor of the election in Feli ciana parish . Weber, brother of his co supervisor, and various other wit nesses,concluding with Governor Palmer. Chairman of the visiting committee. Jenks' testimony amounts to nothing. He i» shown to have been a defaulting and dishonest official, therefore he is ut terly unworthy of belief. Mrs. Jenks has told a most remarkabl j story of the Sherman letter, which no one believes. Sbe admits, however, that fraud was practiced in the parishes of East and West Feliciana, and declares that she dictated that letter and forged the Secre tary's name thereto for the sole purpose of successfully carrying out that fraud. The Republican visiting statesmen, so called, all admit virtually the fraud, but excuse it on the ground that they believe intimidation was resorted to by the Democrats. Anderson and Weber confess their knowledge of fraud, and Governor Palmer's testimony, published yesterday. proof positive that the action of the returning board was exactly similar to what it was on a previous occasion when Mr. Wheeler (who fills the Vice Presi dent's chair to-day i, declared it illegal, arbitrary and unjust. It is safe to say therefore that there is not a man in the country, however rabidly Radical be may be, who will not be forced to con fess that fraud was certainly committed. nd a treasonable conspiracy against the constitutional rights of the American people successfully consummated. Jf course this is no more than what s to have been expected, for it is no more than what everybody has known ail along. The great advantage, how- resulting from the Potter in vestigation will be that the crime viII lie officially • and solemnly de- :lared by a committee of the United States House of Representatives, and the Radicals will be thereby forever estopped from asserting that the charge of fraud t >nly made by the Democrats for po litical effect. The eyes of the people will lie opened, and henceforth if they lecide to continue in power a party which has shown such utter disregard for the principles of the government under which we live, they will do so at their own peril, and must themselves bear the responsibility. The effect upon Mr. Hayes must be anything but pleasant, lie will not be turbed it is true. Congress has de eded that so far as the office which he simply usurps is concerned, his title is unassailable. We will not deny that he lia.- given us a better administration than that of his predecessor. But in this he has done no more, however, than he himself has declared was inevita ble, and in face of it all, the fact will stand out before the world, and will Mr. Hayes Demoralized. The Hartford Times thinks there can be no doubt that Hayes' character has deteriorated since his fraudulent accea sion to power. In November. 1876. says tbe Timet, he wrote to Sherman who waa then in New Orleans, nominally to en sure a fair count of the votes .' 'There must be nothing crooked on our pan. Let Mr Tilden have the place by vio lence. intimidation and fraud, rather than undertake to prevent it by means that will not bear the severest scrutiny." Now. when it is conclusively proven that there was no Democratic violence or in timidation or fraud, that Mr. Tilden was elected, and that Hayes was only counted in by flagrant fraud, tbe latter does not step down and out as one would suppose he would hasten to do, from reading his sentiments in 1876. His heart beats very watffiy for the fleshpots of power and $50,000 per year. By the way. is it not very singular that Hayes, who was in 1876 believed to be a man without guile himself or suspicion of dishonesty in others, should have then cautioned the professedly upright statesman. Sherman, against doing "crooked work" in Louisi ana. and against allowing those "honest and judicious" men. Wells and Ander son, to prevent Tilden's elevation to power, "by meaas that would not bear the severest scrutiny?" Evidently, Hayes was well aware of the dishonesty of his representatives in New Orleans, and knew how to appeal to it by means of a seemingly sincere discourse upon tbe advisability of honesty. BY TELEGRAPH THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Delegates to the Convention from A merle as. Special TtUyram to the Morning Sou AnERicrs. July 90.—At a meeting held here to-day to appoint delegates to the Nominating Convention of the Third Con gressional district, to be held in Macon on the 4th day of September next, Americas precinct gave Fort delegates one hundred and ninety-six votes, and Phil Cook one hundred and seventy-five. Cook certainly has twenty-one out of twenty-nine delegates in the county, probably twenty-four. There was very little disturbance. LATEST FOREIGN TELEGRAMS. Gladstone's Speech on Lord Hartlng- ton's R< solution. HE SEVERELY CRITICIZES THE POLICY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. Betrothal of Count Andraaay's Only Daughter. The dispatches state that on the ar eal of the Chinese Embassy at San Francisco there was no representative of the municipal, State or Federal Govern ment to receive them, but that they pro- ceded to their hotel amidst the saluta tions of an angry street mob. Verily, remarks the New York Bulletin, these distinguished pagans must have strange notions of the civilization (to say nothing of the Christian hospitality) of these :ific coast people, and if they do not return at once to their own country in disgust, it must be because they are gifted with a sublime patience under an affront which the diplomatic representa- ives of other governments would not ubmit to for a moment. The appointment of Louis J. Soucr to be Appraiser at New Orleans was a very bad one, if a dispatch to the Boston Herald is correct. This dispatch says that he first attracted attention in New >rleans by opening a velocipede rink, but soon failed financially. In 1*61* or 1870, at the time of the State election, he vas sent into one of the parishes to •uperintend the voting for the Mechanics Institute crowd. He remained in the parish about a week, and the day after the election he returned to New Orleans with the ballot boxes—and himself elec ted to the Legislature. The second year lie was again returned elected. During this whole period he boarded in New < trleans. had associated with all the greatest statesmen for half a century, and not one of them would have takenj on themselves such high handed measures or have imposed such responsibilities on tbe country. He did not make these objection* from a spirit of factiousness, but from a sincere and unalterable difference of opin ion with the Premier. He spoke two and a half hours, and was cheered on taking his ha- d. tilth < Regular trains between New Orleans and Mobile have been discontinued on account of quarantine regulations adopted by the latter city against the former. A railroad bridge near Clarksville, ou the Utile Rock ami Fort Smith Railroad, gave way yesterday as a train was crossing it, ditching tbe rear ear. Nobody killed. lx- recorded by history, that be is in tbe Presidential chair by means of one of the vilest frauds ever perpetrated—one which the basest of base ward politicians and repeaters would have hesitated to have committed. Neither himself nor his jKwterity therefore can derive any honor or benefit from his office beyond what may accrue from the salary of $5O,0U0 a year. This is a brief review of what has been effected by the Potter investigation in re gard to Louisiana. It is to be hoped yet that not only will the party responsible for the conspiracy thus revealed be forever removed from power, and rendered in capable of further crime; but that tbe traitorous ringleaders of the conspiracy— the visiting statesmen who disgrace by their presence in high official positions the (iovemment of the United States—may be brought to disgrace and justly merit ed punishment. Alluding to the letters of Sherman and Hayes, which we publish in another column, a Northern cotemporary says "It is passing strange that two such let ters as passed between Sherman and Hayes in November, 1876, should not have been given to the public, or their existence even hinted at, until now. Had they been manufactured to meet the present Republican emergency, they could not have been more opportunely produced or more carefully constructed.’ Don't Want Grant. The New York Tribune follows liar- jer's Weekly, tbe New York Time* and the other influential Republican organs that are endeavoring to still the Grant clamor. The Tribune refers to the re porters who arc so frequently interview ing Grant as "persons employed to puff him;" says "if he wants to be President again, he would be wise to bottle up the persons whose continual puffing; * * is making him appear a particularly eager and hungry candidate;” and declares that "the zeal in reporting him and the man ner of it, begin to nauseate the country, because he is made to apjicar as a very obstreperous and clamorous office beg- ifilo Republican Central Committee gar." It is Grant's misfortune, contin (ded to ojh-u the fa//camjialgn on the [ ues tfie Trihutu, "that the least decent d August. jicoplc in the country are tbe most voci ferous advocates of his nomination not a man can be named who has Itecome unsavory by his part in the District ring, the Indian ring, the Naval ring, the Whiskey ring, the Public Buildings ring, the Postal Contracts ring, or any other corrupt swindle, who is not ar dently advocating the re election of the ex President." A candidacy that is thus severely discussed by tbe leading organs of the Radical party tbree years in advance of the nominating convention, would seem to be rather unpromising. A New Motor.—Kccly's motor has a rival in New York, where Francis Win ters. Jr., lias invented a machine with two cbiunliers, a few pumps and valves, into one cylinder of which water is poured and appears in another cylinder its a gas, in whose odorless flame the hand t un be held without burning it, which neither explodes nor generates friction, heat or moisture, arid, while costing only half as much as steam, it Is claimed will do everything that steam can accomplish. Its inventor has organized a company, with a capita] of $10,000,000. one-eighth «>f which is already subscribed, to man ufacture the motor in New York, and it is proposed to store it in huge central re- Mcrvoirs and conduct it in pipes wherever at is wanted. If it acccomplishes half that is claimed for it, it will lie as much un improvement on steam as that was on horse and water power, but the public Will be incredulous till it sees the proof. Alluding to the conflict between the United States and .South Carolina courts, regarding the arrest of the United States revenue officials, charged with murder ing a citizen of South Carolina. Patter- •son—who misrepresents that State in the United States Senate—told Hayes he would "yet see the necessity for troops in the South." By the way, why does not Patterson come honiC? Congress lias adjourned. Samuel Miller, a Richmond miser, left $850,000 as an endowment for a school for the education of one hundred poor children of Albemarle county, Virginia. If all misers would follow his example, n class of citizens not hitherto highly esteemed would rapidly rise in respect ability. Sherman, in that remarkable letter which he sent to Hayes in November of 1876, from New Orleans, and which he produced before the Potter Committee, Thursday, said “the whole case rested on the action of the returning board." Here, says the Bridgeport Farmer, you have the pith of the Louisiana case. The election there depended, he says in effect, not upon the votes placed in the ballot boxes, honestly counted, but upon the idea of certain unscrupulous partisans of tbe numl£r of voles upon either side, that should have been placed in the boxes. Not upon the wish of tbe voters as ex pressed at the polls, but upon the wish of the dishonest partisans who comprised the returning board. "The whole case rests upon the returning board.” True, lamentably, shamefully true, Mr. Sher man ! How long, asks the Farmer, would the people of a Northern State rest under the assertion aad practice of such a prin ciple in their home polities y How long can the republic withstand the assault of a doctrine that practically abolishes the ballot box ? The Conflict of Jurisdiction in Sontli Carolina. By Article III. of the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that the •judicial power of the United States iiall extend to controversies to which the United States shall be a party” (sec tion 2); that "the trial of all crimes, ex cept in cases of impeachment, shall lie by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed" (section 3). A, B, C. D, are in the service of the United States as officers of internal reve nue. In their duties as such, E, a pri vate citizen of the State in which A, B, C, D, are discharging their United States revenue duties, is killed, as the officers allege, in resisting the execution of their lawful authority. All of the five were citizens of the Slate in which the killing was done, and four of them servants or officers in the service of the United States. The question is, was E lawfully killed, or was he unlawfully murdered? The Coroner’s jury bring home the killing to A, B. C, D, who do not deny it, but plead in justification illegal resistance to the execution of tbe laws of the United States by E, and of such a character as to lead to his death. To what jurisdic tion docs the trial or investigation of the case lielong—that of the State or of the United States? We say, to the courts of the United States. Because the United States is a party to the trial, the killing haring occurred in their defense in exe cuting their laws by their servants. But has the State no rights in the mat ter in the person of E, a private citizen of the State? Certainly she has, and those rights are, trial bv jury, and at the place where tbe alleged crime (so viewed by tbe State; was committed. ’ Small and inferior bodies are always jealous of larger and superior powers. Hence it is only in the United States jiirts, that in the highest excellence of the Jaw, free from bias and prejudice. A, B, C, D, may lie sure of impartial jus tice—and if in a Southern State—from the suspicion of political hostility. The question is purely one of constitutional powers, not of sectional politics, but error in pertinaciously claiming uncon stitutional jurisdiction will make it po litical. Democrat of the Old School. By Cable to the Morning Fetes. London, July 30.—Mr. Gladstone began his speech on Lord Hartington’s resolution in the House of Commons to-night by read ing a letter which he had addressed to Lord Beaconsfield, asking him to cite instances in support of the accusation of unjustifiable and reckless attacks. He declared that he bad never attacked the government with out a deep sense of responsibility. He had never assigned any dishonorable motives to the Premier. His attacks upon whose policy were based upon irre concilable and fundamental differences of opinion and feeling. He made a long re view of tbe results of the Congress. He re gretted tbe selfish jealousy of some of the powers In regard to Greece. With Servia and Montenegro independent, and Herze govina irrevocably annexed to Austria, it was impossible to deny that the partition of Turkey if not as complete, was as great as that of Poland. He com plained of the government’s policy from first to last, and said they must feel some shame when theyjooked upon the results obtained, and what might have been ob tained without so much bloodshed, if they bad not jealously severed themselves tram Russia two years ago. They had left Russia the finest possible field for working against the present arrangement. The British plenipotentiaries had throughout the Congress done their utmost to prop up Turkey and keep down the subjected races. For the first time in history their attitude was not in accordance with free institutions. The assertions of Beaconsfield relative to British efforts in favor of Greece were not supported by anything in the protocols. The conclu sion of the Anglo-Russian argument was a practical contradiction of tbe high sound ing pretensions of Salisbury's note. The government thereby surrendered their power of action in the cause of freedom. He had been associated with all the great est statesmen of England for half a century, and did not hesitate to say that not one of them would have imposed such responsi bility on the country. He could not regard such a policy as within tbe limits of reason able statesmanship. He asked what the government would have done if a foreign power had concluded such a convention before Parliament was made acquainted with it. It pushed the power of the crown to an extreme which had been avoided by the greatest statesmen. A new phase of the Eastern question was opened by this start ling novelty, which set the law of Europe at naught, was unjust to other powers, over rode the rights ot Parliament and laid new burdens on the people. Gladstone spoke two hours apd a half, and was greeted with loud cheers as he took his seat. Srttr AdrrUsrawntS. A Total Eclipse OF FORMER PRICES! MERWIN'S SUGAR-CURED SHOULDERS.

Gray, in the American Journal n f Insanity, disputes the popu lar opinion tbai suicide is always an in sane act He admits that it Is idways an unnatural act, but in the large majority of cases he thinks that it is committed by sane persons. A deficiency of moral education, rather than mental derange ment, is the occasion of most suicides. Lightning andTueks.— It cannot be too often repeated at this season of the year, when thunder storms are so fre quent, that one of the most dangerous plates in which to seek shelter is under a large tree. Of all the persons and animals killed by lightning probably eight tenths have been destroyed under or near trees. Oak trees more frequent Iv than any others draw lightning from tile clouds, partly, perhaps, because the close grain of the oak increases its con ducting power, and partly because the sap of the oak contains a large quantity of iron in solution, which, by impregna ting the wood and bark, has the same effect. But no tree in this country en joys the exemption of the Indian banyan, which, at least as the Hindoos believe, is never touched by lightning. The Pittsburg Commercial takes the recent disaster at a picnic near that city as a text from which to give its readers some good advice aboat avoiding trees in thunder storms, and makes the practical suggestion that the proprietors of groves frequently rented for picnics and such entertainments in the summer, should J irovide one or more substantial sheds or the accommodation of parties in case of a sudden storm. < >ne of the best ways of reducing the need of troops in Texas is to thin out tbe white thieves who masquerade in red men’s rig. Not long ago a stage was fired into ne> r the Pecos, and the cry was raised of another Indian raid. A cool observer noticed that all five of the highwaymen were in iresh paint, fresh feather*, and new outfits all through, like the newest sort of a wooden Ir' n “- put out in front of a new cigar These fellows were white savage __ red onea If a few more mock Mexicans and mock Indians, like the gangs of Bass and Plbrell, are cleared out from Texas, the army there will find the frontier a good deal more tranquil.—Jfetc York Ain. TRAINS DISCONTINUED AT NEW ORLEANS.
