THE ELECTION IN FRANCE.
Republic or Monarchy.
The 14th of the present month was a day
of vast importance to flic French people. It
is generally believed that the election held
on that day decides whether France shall con
*
tinue a republican form of government, or
will return to the old monarchical system.
It is known to our readers that after the
war with Prussia, the people of France de
cided that the American system of govern
ment was preferable to old forms, and that
they finally agreed upon a Constitution some
what similar to our own. It was thought, at
the time, that France was not prepared for
such a change, and that the experiment would
result as former ones had done, and the
young Napoleon, or some other leading spirit,
would be on the French throne in less than
three years.
In this, however, the expectation of the
world was not sustained, and that people still
hold to their republican institutions. They
, are now impressed that in the election of
MacMahon, a serious mistake was committed,
lie was elevated to the Presidency b}’ the Re
publican part3% but they' think lie lias betray
(ed them, and all his more recent acts indi
cate a desire on his part, either to seize the
( supreme power himself b} r a coup d'etat , sim
ilar to the one executed by Napoleon IT, or
else to place the son of the latter upon the
throne.
Some time since he dismissed all Republi
cans from his Cabinet, and, under the name
of Conservatives, gathered around him Bona
partists, Orleanistsor Imperialists. The peo
ple became suspicious of his designs, and
called for his resignation. He not only de
clined to give up his position, but ordered
the prosecution of all persons and journals
that gave publicity to any charges against his
government, or openly opposed the same. A
Republican Assembly was chosen by the peo
ple. which attempted to oppose his measures,
and lie dissolved it. Anew election was to
| be held on the 14th, and it is supposed that
a large majority of Republicans would be
chosen, as MacMahon’s administration had
' become very unpopular with the masses.
The news from France, for some time past,
i
has indicated ver}' great excitement, and seri
ous fears were felt that the recent elections
i might result in another revolution. MacMa
lion is a man of iron will, and shows no dis
position to yield his place or how to the will
|of the majority. He even ordered the arrest
and prosecution of Gambetta, who is the
leader of the Republican party. Gambetta
was sentenced to three months imprisonment
and a heavy fine for speaking against the go
vernment, but the execution of the sentence
was postponed.
By late papers, we see that he has been re
sentenced. and MacMahon may order his im
prisonment on the eve of the election, and
thereby precipitate the revolution.
All the government candidates belong to
the Conservative or Imperialist party, and the
President seems determined to push his pow
er in opposition to the will of the people to
the last extremity.
It is evident that France is again on the
verge of a fearful revolution, and we wait
with considerable anxiety the results of this
late election.
Since the above w\as written and put in ;
type, accounts of the French elections have
been received per telegraph to the daily press !
of the State, from which it will be seen the j
Republican victory is complete :
Pairs, Oct. 15.— Two hundred and eighty-!
four Republicans and one hundred anc nine- i
ty-five Conservatives are elected out of four
hundred arrondisseinents. In eleven cases
second balloting will bo necessary. The re
sult in ten of these is expected to bo favor
able to the Conservatives. It is considered
probable that, the new Chamber will consist
of about 320 Republicans and 210 Conserva
tives. The Duke De Cazes, Minister of For
eign Affairs, has been returned from Puget
Thcniers, in place of M. Lefreve.
Q ♦ •
The Struggle Around Kars.
Since our last report, fighting around Kars
has been fierce and heavy’. Up to last week,
the news from that quarter was not encoura
crin*’r to the Russians. Several efforts made
by them to dislodge Mukhtar Pasha from his
position, had proved disastrous failures.
LATER NEWS,
however, represents the Russians as having
driven the Turkish commander from his po
sition, and as chasing him towards Kars or
Erzroom.
FINAL RESULTS,
j had not been reached, but these report?,
j which came from the Russians, claim for them
a great victory'. Somewhat earlier telegrams
by Constantinople, admit the heavy fighting,
but claim the advantage for the Turks up to
j that time.
AROUNDRLEVNA.
Rumors represents Osmam Pasha's army,
at Plevna, as being in a most deplorable con
| dition, destitute of all supplies and tired of
fighting. We do not know that this rumor is
well founded, but thus far. no important moves
have been developed by Sulieman Pasha, the
new Turdish commander in the west.
IT IS A SERIOUS QUESTION,
whether the Turks have not made a mistake
in the removal of Mehemet Ali. Still the
new commander has hardly had time to ma
! hire general plans, and it is quite probable,
i that the Turkish resources are not equal to
the demands of the occasion.
LATE TELEGRAMS
Bring us the news that one of the redoubts
had been abandoned but the Russians, fear
i ing that it was mined had not yet occupied
| it. The Russians are still sending forward
i reenforcements and it is said they contem
plate a winter campaign, which they will com
mence so soon as it is practicable.
TIIE HUNGARIAN INVASION,
Which has been much discussed, the past
two weeks, proves to be all a hoax.
Clerk Adams’ roll shows a Democratic
majority of fourteen in the House, a Repub

Democratic majority’ of nine on joint ballot.

Extra Session of Congress.
Congress, in accordance with the 1 resi
dent's proclamation, met on the lath, at the
Capitol in Washington City, 1). C. After a
quorum had been announced as present, the
election for Speaker took place, with the fol
lowing result: Randall, 146 ; Garfield, 182.
The ironclad oath was administered and
Speaker Randall took the chair, making the
usual introductory speech.
Objections were made to the swearing in
of Cain and Rainy, of South Carolina ; Darnell,
Elam and Robertson, of Louisiana, and
Pachecho, of California, and these members
were requested to stand aside. All the other
members and delegates were then sworn in.
The organization of the House was complet
ed by the election (in one resolution) of Geo.
M. Adams, of Kentucky, as clerk ; John G.
Thompson, of Ohio, as Sergeant-at-Arms;
John W. Polk, of Missorri, as Door-keeper;
James M. Stewart, of Virginia, as Postmas
ter. and Ilev. Dr. John Poisil, of Maryland,
as Chaplain.
In the Senate, on the 16th, among the bills
introduced was one by Mr. Beck, of Kentucky,
for the removal of all disabilities imposed by
the 14th amendment to the Constitution of
i the United States. Referred to the Commit
tee on Judiciary.
Bailey, of Tennessee, presented a petition
of the Southern Methodist Publishing House,
of Nashville, for an indemnity for use and

ate is full, with the exception of Morton And
Sharon, and the excluded Senators from Lou-
I isiana and South Carolina.
' In the House, Darnell of Louisiana, Rainey
and Cain, of South Carolina, whose seats are
contested, were sworn in. The validity of
their claims will he tested hereafter.
The President sent in his message, giving
1 the reason for calling an extra sessions, name
ly, “the adjournment of the last Congress
without making any appropriations for the
support of the army' for the present fiscal
year.” He estimates present requirements at
I $32,436,764 98, and then goes on to say, fur
ther :
There is also required by the navy depart
ment $2,002,661 27. This sum is made; up
of $1,446,088 16 due to officers and enlisted
men for the last quarter of the last fiscal year,
$34,953 50 due for advances made by thfe fi
nancial agent of the Government in London
for the support of foreign service. $50,000
due to naval liospital fund, $150,000 due for
arrearages of pay to officers and $45,219 58
for the support of the marine corps. There
will also be needed an appropriation of $26.-
235 22 to defray the unsettled expenses of
United States Courts for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, last now due to Attorneys,
Clerks, Commissioners and Marshals, and for
rent of Court rooms, support of prisoners and
other deficiencies.
Carpet-Bag Retribution.
“A few years ago.” remarks the Baltimore
San, “ there was a band of South Carolina
jobbers sucking the life-blood of the State,
and from whom there seemed no hope of
rescue. But the slow grinding mills of the
nods have now got nearly all of them be
tween the upper and nether millstones. —
The colored surety of ex-Treasurer Cardoza
lias surrendered him to prison ; ex-Governor
Moses has turned State’s evidence ; ex-Sena
tor Sawyer is under conviction, though claim
ing anew trial; ex-Auditor Nagle is a fugi
tive; cx-Trcasurer Parker is willing to con
fess against himself and his associates ; Sen
ator Patterson is at Washington with Gov.
Hampton's requisition hanging over him on
account of criminal indictments founded on
evidence furnished by some of bis own party,
and even ex-Governor Chamberlain may
figure in Columbia in a different building
from that which he once occupied in that
town. He is the last rose of the carpet-bag
summer, and all his lovely companions are
faded and gone.”
A few 3- ears ago, (remarks the Savannah
News) there was a similar gang of blood
sucking “developers” and plunderers quar
tered on Georgia. The honest voters of our
glorious old commonwealth never ceased
their efforts until the3 T had rescued the State
government and put the plunderers to flight.
For a time some of them found South Caro
lina an asylum of safety from criminal pros
ecution. But now, while the Carolina ban
j ditti are being brought between the upper
j and nether millstones, our noted chevaliers
j d'industrie are at large amid the scenes of
I their former greatness in the quiet enjoyment
jof their ill-gotten gains. If the mills in Co
i lumbia grind slower than those of Atlanta
| they certainly grind more sure. Why is
! this thus ?

The Business of the Forty-Fifth Congress. |
The Savannah News remarks as follows,
concerning the service of the Forty-fifth Con
gress. which body assembled in extra session
at Washington City last Monday :
Whether the session will be a long or short
one cannot yet be determined. If no busi
ness but that pertaining to the object for
which it was called —providing for the pay of
the army—is transacted, the session will be
very short, for the necessity of withholding
the necessary appropriation having passed
away with the withdrawal of troops from the
South, no doubt the measure will be prompt
ly passed.
It is probable, however, that Congress will
not confine itself wholly to this matter. The
time for the regular session is quite near at
hand, and this may induce the body to go on
and finish tip all the work likly to come be
fore it. Should Congress determine to go in-
to general legislation many very important
measures will be brought up, all of which
will demand careful consideration. Of these
the most prominent which have yet been sug
gested are (1) steps to protect railroads in fu
ture against such violent interruption as oc
curred°during the recent labor troubles; (2)
the repeal of the date fixed for specie resump
tion, January 1, 1879; (3) the remonetization
of silver and restoring the bi-metallic stand
ard of our currency ; (4) the abolition of the
protective S3’stem and the establishment of a
tariff for revenue only, and (5) the Texas Pa
cific Railroad subsidy.
It is not very difficult to foresee how a
Democratic House will be likety to dispose
of these measnrse. As to the first, the posi
tion will most probably be taken flint the
General Government has nothing to do with
the management of private corporations with
in the limits of certain States. Regarding
the second, it, most likely, will be maintained
that while the specie resumption act has work
ed immense damage, still the worst has been
done, and it will be better to permit it to re
main as it is rather than risk a continuance
of the evil. Regarding the third, there will
be no difficulty. Silver will be speedily re
monetized to the benefit of the masses and the
discomfiture of the bondholders. As to the
fourth, a Democratic House should certainty
take a decided stand against further class le
gislation. by which all classes are heavily
taxed for the benefit of a privileged few ; and
concerning the fifth, a Democratic House
should also be decidedly opposed to all sub
sidies of a private nature, as well as to the
building of all works of internal improve
ment by the General Government.
These are the main subjects so far devel
oped which will claim the attention of the
present Congress. They are full of impor
tance, and Hie action regarding them will be
watched with great interest by the people at
large.
Special Providences.
Hon. A. 11. Stephens is, with accustomed
frankness, giving his views on political affairs
to all who seek them. In our issue of to-day
we reproduce an interview with him by a
reporter of the Washington Union. Accord
ing to Mr. Stephens, the President is upheld
by all the moral and commercial forces of
the country, and therefore secure in his pol
icy. But it is upon the proposition “that
President Ilayes has done more for the South
and the country in bringing about an era of
good feeling than Air. Tilden could have
done in a similar position.*’ that Mr. Ste
phens is most luminous and emphatic. The
great lesson lie would no doubt inculcate is
that a supernatural power is constantly
bringing, in the most unexpected way, good
oat of apparent evil. We dare say the forci
ble inauguration of Mr. Tilden would have
been a signal for civil war. Now, a Repub
lican President lias brought, not only peace
t,o all sections, but well-merited disaster to
those who have made all the mischief in the
country. The Petersburg Post, treating of
this very subject, thus speaks; “This view
of the mysterious ways of Providence in deal
ing with mankind does not make wrong right,
nor place a premium on crime or wickedness ;
but, without interfering in the least with the
free will of man or the natural course of
events, it shows that while voluntary folly
and crime bring the greatest sort of evils and
punishment upon those who commit them,
nevertheless Providence can and does bring
good even out of chaos. This is sound phi
losophy, whether it meets the views of every
body or not.”
Everybody must concede that events have
been so shaped by Divine Providcnoe that
the South and the Democratic party have
been placed at great advantage by the
very means employed to put both in abey
ance. Only a supernatural power—the Gov
ernor of the Universe—could have accom
plished this. 'We should humbly acknowl
edge, the source of the benefit and pray to be
equal to the mission which has been entrust
ed to us.— Aug. Chron. Const.
The Effort to Get Up a War with Mexico.
All the official and private information re
ceived in Washington relative to the El Paso,
Texas, uprising shows that it is not of any
international character, but is participated
in wholly by Americans of Mexican origin,
residents in El Paso county. The salt lakes,
which have been entered upon by Northern
people, have been for two hundred years un
der old Spanish and Mexican land grants, ex
empt from entry, and were always consider
ed as a part of the State domain for public
use, which could never be appropriated for
private use ; but Northmen speculators, hav
ing secured some Texas scrip, have seized
the lands and are endeavoring to make their
title to them clear. The Mexicans, follow
ing the traditions of two hundred years, are
disposed to fight, and hence the trouble.
It is this insignificant squabble that has been
magnified into a hostile invasion of American
soil by the Mexicans. As we suspected from
the first, all this clamor about Mexican out
rages is gotten up by parties who seek, for
their own political or private ends, to involve
the country in war.— Sav. News.

The Season of Intermittent#.
All miasmatic complaints, in other words, all
disorders generated by unwholesome exhalations
from the earth or water, are prevalent at this
season. In every section subject to the visitation
of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent
disease, the causes which produce these maladies
are now actively at work. This, therefore, is a
period of the year when the inhabitants ot such
districts should prepare their systems to meet the
unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by a
course of tonic and alterative treatment, t ore
most among the invigorants. recommended by
time and experience as a means of fortifying the
system against all endemic and epidemic maladies,

without the aid of this potent ally of nature, will

to six ears on each stalk. It is from three to four
weeks earlier than common corn, and stands
drought much better. It is better suited to thin
upland than any corn 1 ever saw, and will make
three times as much on any kind of land. I will
sell a small quantity at One Dollar per Quart.
This may appear high for corn, but I had the grains
counted to me at 25 cents per hundred. I refer
von to Mr. Wigington and Mr. J. L. Williamson.
