A DULL WEEK.
The alarmists in France have had '-a - good
time of it this week. They have not failed
to turn the indisposition of the Emperor to
account. W hen it became known that Na
poleon had suddenly given up his intended
Visit to Chalons, and that the camp had been
raised, most alarming rumors began to be
spread abroad. It was generally affirmed
that Napoleon Was in a most critical Btate,
and tbft he would be
operation, the issue bf'whl
tended with the greatest danger; further,
that by express order of his medical men, he
to- undergo an
doubt be at-
business of auy kind, and that be would
communicate^rith his ministers throng^ the
intermediacy of the Empress alone.
Wbat was still thole calculated to make
us believe that there was some foundation
for the reports in circulation, was that Prince
Napoleon was suddenly sent for from his
chateau at Prangitis, in Switzerland, and it
transpired ihat the Imperial cousin (between
whom and Napoleon III. there has always
been a certain coolness) had been closeted
for many hours With the 1 Emperor and Em
press.
It was even > reported, on the evening of
the 15th iust., that the Sphinx of the Tulle-
ries was no more, and there was, conse
quently, for an boar or two, a great
PANIC AT ST. CLOUD,
where the Emperor and the Court are ahgtre-
sent residing, until It was known for a cer
tainty that the news of (he Emperor's death
was premature. & is unfotliinata - thafc the

official papers should all along have been so
silent respecting the indisposition at the
Emperor, as the absence of any official bulle
tins has been the means of keeping the
public in great suspense. The truth has now
come out: Napoleon IIL was for some days
very seriously ill, but. thanks to the skill of
his medical men, there has been, since Satur
day last,
GBEAT AMELIORATION IN HIS MAJESTY’S HEALTH,
and the complaint under which be has been
laboring is no more nor less than a sharp at
tack of sciatica. The Emperor has been able
to drive out twice since bis recovery, and on
Sunday last paid a visit to the Empress
Charlotte, of Mexico, at the Grand Hotel;
on his way home he alighted'in the Bois He
Boulogne, where he walked about and showed
himself to the public for more than an hour.
Thus the pessimists are disappointed, for
NAPOLEON IS HIMSELF AGAIN.
Public attention has been very much taken
up this week with the dreadful accident
which happened on the night of the fifteenth,
alter the letting off of the fireworks.
THE CATASTROPHE ON THE PONT DE LA CONCOBDE
will long be remembered by the inhabitants
of the French capital. In former years the
fireworks of the 15th of August have gen
erally been let off bn the Champ de Mars, but
as this is the ground upon which the palace
of the Exhibition is being built, it was fonnd
necessary to let them off' near the Pont de
Fena. The consequence was, that the public
thronged on the quays and other bridges,
and long before the first rocket was fired it
was perfectly impossible to move either one
way or the ether. The principal cause of the
catastrophe was the obstinacy of the crowd,
in not paying attention to the regulations
laid down by the bolica The mass of the
people coming from the' Boulevards and the
Rue Royale was such that the mounted
guard, after repeated attempts to resist the
flood of people, was obliged to give way and
recede as far as the Palais Legislatif No
pen can describe the scene that took place on
the Pont de la Concorde about ten at night,
after the fireworks had been let off. It is im
possible to describe all the heart-breaking
incidents of this terrible event. More than
eight bodies have been exposed at the Morgue,
and fifteen children have been received at the
police stations and have not been claimed by
their parents.
SUPERSTITIOUS PROGNOSTICS,
Though we consider ourselves to be_ the
most enlijfbtened people of t he W0£l^, our
capital, the centre of civilization,is full of su
perstitious people, who have not Tailed to call
our attention to similar accidents which in
France have always been the forerunners
of the fall of the then reigning dynasty—for
instance, the accident which took place on
the Place Louis XV. (now Place de la Con
corde) during the fetes to celebrate the mar
riage of the Dauphin,afterwards Louis XVI.,
and that which cast a gloom on the wedding
day of the Duke of Orleans with the Princess
Helene of Mecklenburg—Schherin. The last
accident was, I remember, looked upon as a
judgment from Heaven.by pious Romanists,
for a Catholic prince’s marrying a heretic.

PARIS OUT OF TOWN.
We continue to receive the most distress-,
ing accounts from the different sea side
places on the coast of France. The weather
continues to be very wet and stormy, Which
obliges the votaries of faahioa to keep within
doors; they are thus prevented from show
ing off their fantastical dresses on the Strand.
The Casinos are the only lounges possible in
such weather, but thfy are considered “stale,
flat and unprofitable,” and bear too much
resemblance to the amusements of winter,
dancing flirting by candle light and so forth.
Before closing my epislic I will say some
thing to you about the theatres aud other
places of amusement.
The former are not doing much and the
latter are doing still less, for the weather is
too ungenial for al fresco performances.
Theresa aud her rival, Colombat, next door,
at the Oufi des Ambassadeurs, in ibe-Cbamps-
Elysees, are both squalling to empty benches
and to the sparrows in the trees adjoining.
On fine evenings, which arc few and far be
tween, the Diva is visited by thousands, who
come to pay homage to the prima donua of
the day. There is a report, very much cred
ited, that Theresa intends soaring higher
next winter, and that she is trying to be ad
mltted at the Grand Ooers; and is desirous of
making her debut in Donizetti's well known
opera of La Favorita, which was the tri
umph of Grisi aud Madame Stoltz.
Paris, which is generally quite deserted at
this time of the year, is full of strangers,
more especially English and American. The
latter are to be seen mostly at the Grand
Hotel, which has for some time past been the
rendezvous of the citizens ot the United
States It is expected that many American
families will this winter take up their abode
iq the Freuch capital. It is supposed that
'the Coming season will be very brllfiaut. :

Philadelphia, 8ept- 3.—The mean white
convention, in point of numbers, .is a failure.
None of the hotels are lull, while many are
empty. The Philadelphia Radicals have
made a good display, turning out fairly in
proeessiou and displaying flags in profusion,
but beyond that-there is nothing calculated
to excite the least enthusiasm. This con
vention cannot be compared in any sense to
the great Union Johnson gathering at the
wigwam last month. The only known South
ern men here arc Jobu Minor Bolts; Gover
nor Fletcher, of Missouri; Durant, of Loui
siana ; Thomas, ot Maryland; Brownlow,
Hamilton, Speed, Mayuard, Stokes and a
lew others ot like calibre. Of the biaiu aud
intelligence of the South we have no repie
sentatives.
In the procession to-day there were many
small banners, but the most of them called
for equal rights for the negro, and applauded
Mayor McMichael for not greeting the Presi
dent on his reception in Philadelphia. Not
five hundred strangers participated in the re
ception. It was almost entirely a local
affair, and such a oue as New would be
ashamed of.
t he Radicals themselves were disappointed
Out of the whole Fire Department which was
appealed to but ten companies responded,
the conservative sentiment in the balance
preventing any political demonstration on
their part. The Common Council, as if ip
add another insult to the President, met in
the morning and extended the hospitalities
to his traducers which they previously re
fused to him. In Bhort every party effort
was made in behalf of. the convention, aud
the lesult can be fairly marked down as a
Radical pogramme.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOUTHERN DELEG^BS.
i ■ All lriglit long the orgies were kept up in
some of the rooms at the several hotels, and
the vagrant whites who register their names
as delegates from the South proved that they
possess one characteristic at least of the poor
mean whites of the late slave-holding States
—an unlimited capacity for tile storage of
whiskey. In all other aspects they differ
from the accepted description-0^ Southerners,
and, with few exceptions, furnish counter
part 'presentments of the unwholesome-look
ing, long-haired attendants of -free love and
women’s rights conventions. :
ANOTHER crvta, WAR DEMANDED.
faet x the ultra radicalism of these mean
tern whites is’’ clearly induced by a de
sire tophmge the jcbquri^. into' another War.
“The negj-p must vote ori tifojr -must be in
duced tp join- us and fightf” u the cry**"'
has beenr raised her% score* Of times in
har-roois. discussions of the (set
hours.
PROSPECTS OF "A 'a|p'H ST.
SOUTH.
Illustrative of this is the following conver
sation, which took place tp-davatthe Nation
al Negro Union Club Home, No. 1105 Ches-
nut street, between a Virginia delegate mid
one of the officers of the club.
Mean white (injeply to a question)—Weil,
sir, we are in a bad state. We can’t do
without negro suffrage or another war.
Either we mast call od the darkeys to help
tts 1 as against the rebels and rule the rebels
by their votes, 'or the rebels must rale us,
or we must fight, And if we do, votes* we
have very speedy help from the North, it
will be a short matter, aa our numbers are so
few.
National Negro Unionist—I am -only sur
prised that the negroes do not rise wheiever
they can and burn down the towns. They
could do this, aud they ought to do it.
Mean White—Well, lhey T ll wait for a time.
They are not ready yet. I have asked < hem
myself, when they have been beaten or ill-
used, why they dout turn and fight, and they
answer, “wait till we’re ready, and then
we’ll go in and see who'll kill and. burn.”
And, sir. just as soon as the rebels get re
constructed, and attempt to rule the blacks,
there will be a rich SL Domingo at the
South.
THE NEGROES TO BE ORGANIZED FOE FIGHTING.
^Another illustration of the design of t«e
WfestfWhites to incite a negro' insurrection
was furnished this morning by the remarks
of a Missouri delegate to a listening crowd at
l f tfte'CbnfineUlal. “Id® not design to fight
these rebels again with white meo,” was his
remark. “Our policy is clearly tp arm r.au
ofganfzfe' the blacks, and let them do ’._e
work of extermination as far as in their
power.”
The whole tone of Jack Hamilton's
hangers-on is the same as this. The truth is
that Northern radicalism even does, not
dream of the dangerous and villainous de
signs of these Southern desperadoes, who, in
a hopeless miuority at home—most of them
adventurers and loalers, without any legiti
mate occupation or auy chance of earning an
honest livelihood—see no belter chance be
fore them of beiteiing their condition than
by plunging the country into a bloody war of
races, sneaking out of dunger, and plunder
ing during the burning and murdering that
would attend such an outbreak.

limits prescribed by tffo 1 treaty of 1815, and
wishes of the Emperor of the FTODcfo de-
Thomas, of Maryland,
Fletcher as presiding officer, while the ring
were in for Durant, of Louisiana, aod they
triumphed. It is supposed thatTnomas and
bis associates bad become alarmed at tpi '
fearful radical tendencies of ibe extreme
Northern Southerners, and thought to coun
teract them by a flank moveineut. In Ibis
he lamentably failed, and the Convention
passed into the hands of a set of rabid fa
natics. Brownlow and men like him go the
whole animal. They are for war to the
knife, and the knile to the hilt.
Strange to say, there seems to be no pros'
pect of close affiliation between the South
ern and the Northern representatives. The
latter gentlemen, after a prayer meeting, con
cluded to meet in separate oouveutiou, over
which Governor Curtin presides. Why this
is so the majority don’t understand, but the
tact that the mean whiles of the South go in
strong for negro suffrage, in order to get the
darkeys to vole their ticket, while the mean
whites uf the North are afraid to go so far,
lor fear of influencing the coming elections
against them, may have something to do
with it, .va .
It is generally conceded to-night that the
Southern Convention will resolve that negro
suffrage is an absolute necessity and must be
iusisted upon. As a preliminary, they will
admit the black representatives from Tennes
see. Minor Bolts opposes mis. He urges
that if the negroes are allowed to vote, their
late masters will do just is they please with
them. Butts at heart is not a Radical, and
the majority seem to know it. He fee.s en
tirely out of place in the Convention.
Among the noticeable incidents of the day
was the appearance of Fred. Douglass, in the
procession and the Northern Convention.
His appearance called forth tumoltuous
cheers, and Fred, was in full glory. The
other colored men who marched in the line
wens likewise the recipients of an ovation,
This foci has excited the disgust of many
people who have been disposed to support
Congress, but cannot go the whole negro
animal. Douglass marched arm-in-arm with
while gentlemen, who seemed proud ot the
distinguished honor which had been con
ferred upon them. It is a positive fact that
negroiis were more loudly applauded than
the “tried white loyalists,” as several ban-
oers term the bogus chaps who pretend to
represent the South.
Ex Attorney General Speed will be se
lected as permanent chairman of the South
ern Convention, though Hamilton^ sBrown-
iow and Botts are urged for the position.
Bolts has been ruled out, however, owing to
his opposition to the negro suffrage.
There is by no means harmony in the
Northern delegations. Some of their mem
bers are known friends of Andrew Jobnsou,
who will, if the thing grows too warm,
either withdraw or else a row- A
meeting of these gentlemen was held at th*
Continental to-aight, and it was unanimbns-
■ly resolved to vote against negro suffrage

SECOND DAY—September 4th
After the installation of Mr. Speed as
President of the body, and his address, a
discussion took place on the fullowiag rao-
liou ot Mr. George W. Sands, of Marylaad:
Resolved, That the Convention now pro
ceed to the appointment uf a committee on
resolutions and ou an address, to consist ot
members from each State and the District of
Columbia, to he selected by the respective
SUie delegations, and that all resolutions
declaratory of principles be referred to the
Committee on resolutions without debate.
Gov. Hamilton moved to strike out the
last clause of the resolution, “ to refer with
out debate.”
A lengthy discussion occurred, pro and
con, a fid dually there Were loud cries of

Judge Bond, ot Baltimore, offered the fol

loyal men of the North to support the Con

the Southern States the wise guarantees of

Mr. Salford, of Alabama, inquired if that
resolution was iu the form of instruction ?
■ Mr. John L. Thomas, of Masylandi said
the first part of the resolution met the unani

tion. Tne latter did aot
A delegate moved to strike oat the word
“negro” before i)ie word “suffrage,” and in
sert the Word “equal.'’ !
The chair said tne resolution had already
been referred.
Mr. Thomas hoped it would again be
brought before the convention lor discussion.
He Was «e strang in tfae advocacy of Union
principles as any body, but he did not favor 1
such firebrands as this.

MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS OF THX NORTH
ERN STATES—SECRET PROCEEDINGS.
Philadelphia, Sept. A—The meeting of
the Governors aod ex-Goveruora in the
League House to-day was private. The re
porters were excluded. Enough of the pro
ceedings, however, tranapired to warrantthe
following account being jmbhshed- The
questions discussed were ; First, whether it
was desirable that the Northern Convention
should meet again ; and second, whether, if
the Southern Convention adopted the princi
ple oi negro suffrage ia its piattorsf u would
kiMMtmdllfoltucSio endorse it. The
geueral expression of sentiment was in the
negative of both these propositions, the
Governors generally taking ihe ground that,
while Individually they were in favor of
negro suffrage, the people of their States
were not yet educated up to that pout, ami
that therefore, to aVoid this difficult ques-
tioR„»t.Wa« desirable, £bat tficte should be
no regular convocation or convention. It
is understood that such ia the course resolved
upon. ■

HIGHLY INTERESTING INCIBENT8.
New York, Sept 4.—The following ia tfae Presi
dent's speech at Cleveland on Monday night:
Fellow-Citizens : It is not for the purpose of
m»4img a speech that I now appear before you. I im
aware of the great cariosity which prevails to see
strangers who hare notoriety and /dnHnrtisn fa aO
countries. I know a large n amber of you desire to
see Hen. Grant and to heaj wbat he has to say. [A
voice—"Three cheers for Sen. Grant”] But yon can't
gee him to-night; he ia extremely ill. I repeat, I as
not before you bow to make a speech, bat simply to
inake your acquaintance: to say "bow are yon?" and
to bid yon good-bye.
We are on our way to Chicago to participate is or
witness the laying of the corner-stone of a monument
to the memory ot a distinguished MbwcMm who
is no more. It is not necesgu y for me to sseutipa the
name 6t Stephen A. Douglas to the people tit Ohio. I
am free to say that lam flattered by the demonstra
tions!.have witnessed, and being flattered. I don’t
mean to think it personal, hut anerrtdenoe of what ia
pervading tbs public mind; aad «*“- rV ;——— ia
nothing more nor leas than an indication of the latent
aeoHmeat orVeeling of the grail aaaaaespftbe people
with regard to the proper arttlamenfief fas great
question. ' ' * w ’
I coma before von 'aa an American aimnly.
and not as the Chief Magistrate, clothed In the inaig-
nta and paraphernalia of State. Being an inhabitant
of a State of this Union, I know it has been said that
I am an alien [laughter] and-that I did not reside in
oaa of the Skates of the Union, aod therefore could
net be the Chief Magistrate, though the Constitution
declares that I must be a citizen to occupy that ofice.
Ibsrafore, all that was necessary was to declare the
office vacant, or, under a pretext, to prefer articles of
impeachment; and thus the individual who occupies
the Chief Magistracy was to be disposed of and driven
tram power. Bat a short time since yon had a ticket
before you for the Presidency. I was placed npon that
ticket with a distinguished fellow-citizen who is now
no mere. I know mere are some who complain [A
voiew—“Unfortunately.”] Yes, unfortunate for some
that God rules on high End deals in right. [Cheers.]
Tea, unforinnately, tfae ways of Providence are mys
terious aod incomprehensible, controlling all those
who excLdm “tJiflbrtuiiately." [“Bally tor you!”]
I warn going to say, my country men, a ffaort tia
since I was elected and placed upon ihe ticket. Tkei
was a platfarm proclaimed and adopted bp those who
placed me upon it. Notwithstanding the subsidized
gaag ot hirelings and traducerb, I have discharged aU
my duties and fulfilled all my pledges; and I say here
to-night that if or predecessor had lived the vuds of
wrath would have been poured oat upon him. [Cries
of "Never I" “Three cheera for the Congress of the
United States."] I came here aa I was passing, aud
have been ceiled upon for toe purpose ot exchanging
views and ascertaining, if we could, who was wrong.
[Cries of "It is yon."] That was my object in appear-
ing before you to-night, and I want to aay this, tost I
have lived among the American people, and have
represented them in some public capamty for the last
twenty-five years, and where is the man or woman
who can place his finger qpon one single set of mine
deviating from any pledge of mine or in violation of
the constitution of toe country? [Cheers.] Who is
he ? Wliat language does he speak ? What does he
profess? Who can come and place hia finger on one
pledge I ever violated or one principle I ever proved
fuse to ? [A voice—"How about New Orleans ?" An-
-iher voice—"Hang Jeff. Davis."] Hang Jefl. Davis?
Why don't you hang him ? [Cries sf "Give us toe
opportunity."] Have not you got the court ? Have
not you got the Attorney-General ? [A voice—"Who
ia yoar Cnief Justice, who has refused to sit upon the
trial?''] lam not the Chief Justice. Iam not the
prueecutiug attorney. [Queers.] Iam not toe jury.
I will tell you what 1 did do. I called upon your
Congress that is trying to break up the Government
[Cheers, mingled with hlsaee; great coufosiou—"Don't
get "fd, Andy."] Well, I will tell you who le mad—
"Whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make
mid.” Did your Congress order any ofthem'to be
tried ? Then, iellow-citizens, we might as well Alley
our passions and permit reason to resume her sphere
and prevail. [Cheers.] In presenting the few remarks
ihat I designed to make, my intention was to address
myself to your common sense, your judgment and
your better feeling, not to the passion in yonr heart.
[Cheers.J
This was my object in presenting myself ou this oc
casion aad to tell you “How do you do?" aud at the
same time to bid you "Good-bye.” Iu this assembly
here to-night to remark has been made/ “Traitor
"traitor." My countrymen, will yon hear me, [shouts
of "Yes,”] aud will you hear me for toe cause and for
the Constitution of my country? [Applause.] I want
to know when or where or, under wnai circumstances
Andrew Johnson, not as Chief Executive, but in any
capacity, ever deserted any principle or violated the
Coustitutiou of his country, [Cries of "NdVer."’]
Let me ask this large and intelligent audience if
your Secretary of State, who served four years under
Mr. Lincoln, aud who was placed upon the butcher’s
block, as it were, aud hacked to pieces and scarred by
the asaaesm's knile, when be turned traitor. (Cries of
"Never.”] If I were disposed to play the orator, and
teal in declamation tonight, I would imitate one of
the ancient tragedians, aud would take William H.
Seward and bring him before you, and point'you to
the hacks sad scars upon bis person. [A voire ‘“God
biesahim." - '
I would exhibit the bloody garments, saturated with
gore from his gushing wounds. Then I would ask
you why not hang Tiled. Stevens and Wefidell ; Phil
lips? 1 tell you, my countrymen, I have been fight
ing the South and they ackuoweldge their detest and
accept the tertna of ihe Coustitutiou, and now, as I go
round ihe circle, having fought traitors at the South
I am prepared for traitors of the North.
[Cbaere.] God willing, with your help ws-wtiido it.
[Cries of “We won’t."J It will be crushed North aud
South, and this glorious Union of ours will be pre
served. [Cheers.] Ido not come here as the Chief
Magistral* of the tweuty-five 8tatee but of thirty-six.
[Cheers.]
I came here to-night with the flag of my oountry
and the Constitution of thirty-six States untarnished.
Areyoufor dividingttiscountry? [Criesof "Nol"]
Then 1 am President, and President of toe whole Uni-
ted States. I will tell you oue other thing. I under-
stand the discordant notes in this crowd to-night. He
who is opposed to the restoration of (his Government
and the reunion of the Stales is as great a traitor as
Jeff. Davie or Wendell Phillips. [Lo*d cheers,] - lam
against both. [Cries of “Give it to them I"] Some of
yon taifc about traitors in the South who had not
courage to get away from your homes to fight them.
[Laughter end cheers.] The courageous man—Grant,
Sherman, Farragut, and the lung list of toe distin
guished sous of the Union—were in the field and led
on their gallant hoats to conquest—to victory—while
you remained cowardly at home. [Appltum. : "Bully!”]
Now, when these brave men bare returned home,
many of whom have left an arm or a leg or their blood
upon many a battle-fleld, they find yon at aoms specu
lation, and you committing framta on the Govern
ment. [laughter and cheers.] Yon pretend now to
have great respect and sympathy for the poor, brave
follow who has left an arm on the battle-field. [Cries
—“How was it about his nuking a speech on the fad
of February?”] I have been with you in the battles
of this oountry, and I can tell yon furthermore to
night, who have to pay these brave men who shed
their blood, yon speculated in, and now the great
mam of the people have to wort it out [Cheers.]
It to time tost toe gnat mere of toe people should
understand what your designs are. Wbat did Gen.
Butler say? [Hisses.] What did Gen. Grant aay
[Cheera.] And what does Gen. Greet rey about Gen.
Boiler? [Laughter end cheers.] What does Gen.
Sherman say? [A voice—'“What does Goa. Sheridan
say ?"] Gan. Sheridan aaya that he tefor tbs restora
tion of the Government that SheridaS fought for.
["Bully," aad renewed cries of "NewOetosae," and
countrymen who will always respect their fellow-citi
zens when they are entitled to respect, aad there is e
ponton of them who have BO respect for themselves,
ead consequently hare no respeot tot others. [A
voice—"Traitor."]
I wish I could sed that man. I would bet yoa now
that If the light teB en your face cowardice aad treach
ery would ha seen to it Show yourself. Come out
here where Jean tea yon. [Shouts of laughter.] I
stood now where I stood when the rebellion com
menced. Who baa sacrificed more for hia country
than I? Who has ran greater risks? Bat the Sac
tiona, Snmlnssaiag aad tpmnntsai party la Congress
has undertaken to poison the minds of the people
igiiut me. [Cheers.]
The Preaidaut osr turned fa Its strain of hie pre
vious arguments upon the Issues in the coming con
test, dwelling particularly upon the nature of the
Freedman's Bureau MU. ’
Dastardly Outrage.—Ob Wednesday an
ohl man, named Mfilliam Berry, about sev
enty eix yean of age, who resides in Henry
