The palace of Compiegne, where the Emperor
Napoleon received the Emperor of Austria, and
where the Imperial Court reside in the autumn, is
one of the most ancient residences of the French
Sovereigns. Clotaire the First died here, in conse-
quence of fatigue in hunting. Charles the Bald,
who was very partial to this residence, made consi-
derable augmentations to it. In 877 Louis le Begue
was crowned there. It was there that he died and
was buried. The First Napoleon, who was also
very fond of Compiegne, retired thitherto a few
weeks after the battle of Marengo, and, with some
of his' generals, had a sporting party, at which the
first Turkish Ambassador accredited to France after
the Revolution was present, albeit this is aa amuse-
ment forbidden by the Koran. It was in this palace,
on the 27th of March, 1810, that Napoleon the
First received his second wife, the Archduchess
Maria Louise. In 1861 the King of Prussia and
the King of Holland were the guests of Napoleon
at Compiegne. The palace was inhabited succes-
sively by Louis the Twelfth, Francis the First,
Henry the Fourth, and Lou's the Fourteenth.
Queen Mario Antoinette was received there by the
King on her arrival in France.
The gilt spire and dome of the Invalides, for some
time in course of ornamentation, and now nearly
completed, form a prominent object of admiration.
This dome was finished in 1706 from the designs of
Hardoouin Mausart. The dome was gilt on its
first construction. Under Louis 15th it was painted
yellow, and re-gilt under Napoleon the First. Tra-
dition assigns a curious reason why the dome was
gilt in the reign of Louis 14th. His Minister Louvois
had amassed a large stun of m)ney, and a consider-
able amount in gold was concealed iu barrels in the
cellar of his house. The King, imagining that
Louvois had become rich at his expense, paid him a
visit, and asked, as it were out of curiosity, to see
his apartments. Louvois understood the motive of
the King's visit, and said, " Sire, one must take
things at the beginning. May it please your Ma-
jesty first to give a glance at the cellars of your
faithful subject." " I accept the proposal," said
the King, " upon the condition that you will allow
me to make an exchange of a few barrels of the best
wine of Coulanges which are in the cellars of
the Tuileries for some of yours." Preceded by
some servants with lighted torches, Louvois con-
ducted the King to his treasure. " I believe,"
said Louvois, opening one of the barrels filled with
gold, "that your Majesty will prefer this wine to
all the others. I destined it for the cellars of the
Invalides, but all I possess belongs to my king."
" Very well, sir," replied the King, "my brave
invalids want a generous wine, which will make
them grow young again. Send it to the Hotel des
Invalides." It was with the gold from Louvois's
wine barrels that the expense of the painting and
the gilding of the dome was paid for.
The versions about the Congress present a
labyrinth, and as, perhaps, the idea of one is, after
all, but a myth, it may not b 2 necessary to examine
them closely. However, according to one authority,
Austria has given a verbal adhesion to the meeting
of a Congress. The Cabinet of S. Petersburg, if
the same writer is to be believed, reserves itself
until it knows the exact points of the questions
which the French Government intends to propose
for discussion at it. The' talian papers are not in
accord with the Vienna journals, for the latter say
that Austria has not yet come to any decision upon
the subject.
The horticultural garden at the Exhibition is to
open until farther notice, at half a franc for admis-
sion; but in order to prevent any interruption to
the removal of products and the demolition of the
building there will be entrance and egress at one
gate only, the Porte Tourville.
The total amount of receipts for daily visitors
will exceed 10 millions of francs, and that for sea-
son tickets Ate about one million.

In spite of the watchfulness of the police there
has been another great robbery. It took place yes-
terday at mid-day, when some expert thief contrived
to extract from a case containing the splendid
jewellery of M. rromon.t Malinke a magnificent
diamond aigrette value at 37,000 f. At the Spanish
department a thief took a fancy to a gold cigar
holder worth about £BO sterling. It is inconceivable
how the robbery of M. Fromont Maurice could
have taken place, for it is in a part of the Exhibi-
tion where people " most do congregate," being in
the same compartment as the marvellous display of
Messrs. Christofle and Co., which is always exces-
sively crowded.
Tti say that the close of the Exhibition to-day
attracted a greater number of visitors than on any
other occasion would not, perhaps, IY3 quite correct,
for on Sunday last there were 250,000 persons
within the building ; but if the number to-day was
not greater, it followed hard upon it, and it re-
quired both patience and perseverance to make any
progress either in the French or Russian depart-
ments. The weather has favoured the " last scene
of all" of this wonderful illustration of the march of
mind and industry, for the sun shone from " morn
till dewy eve," but it was rather cold in spite of the
sun. In the environs of Paris there was a severe
frost last night.

rADVEnTTSENIENT.I—IfoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Unerring Precision.—Whon the health is breaking down
from the continuance of some weakening discharge, when
ulcers refuse to heal, and extending mischief is threatened,
then is the. time to try. the potency of Holloway's healing
ointment and purifying pills. No treatment for giving
ease and safety, leading to a cure, can be compared to this.
The ointment cleans and cools the foulest and most angry
sores, diminishes the inflammation, reduces the swelling,
prevents the growth of proud flesh, and spares both pain
and danger. Thousands testify from their own personal
experience to the unvarying success attending the use of
Holloway's medicaments in cases of ulcerated legs, en-
larged veins, scurvy skin, and swelled ankles.

Juarez has been re-elected P, esi lent of the
Mexican Republic. lle his met with rnich oppo-
sition, and it is believed that Diaz ran a close race.
The " p.imary elee,:ions" in Mexic) city, on the
22,1 of September, resulted in the defeat of the
J uarez cotirocalm-ia, or amendments to the ‘• con-
, situti ,n." Escobedo vehemently opposed thtse
vonendments. In the Sta.() of Vera Cruz Gene-
ral Porfirio Diaz received a majority. The effect
of strong condemnation of the political executions is
seen in the sentence on Santa Anna. A short
time ago his fate would have been sealed, now he is
merely exiled from the Paradise of Mexico.
News from Medicine Lodge Creek, to October
14th, announces the arrival of the Peace Com-
missioners. The council will continue eight days,
and the prospect of peace is good. Five thcinsand
Indians are assembled, including Cheyennes, Ara-
pahoes, Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches, and Dog
Soldiers. The Indians talk well, but insist upon
arms and ammunition. The Cheyennes are
afraid .to come within ten miles of camp
for fear of the soldiers. Reports of Indian
hostilities in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon
were numerous. Capt. Robert Hughes, at the head
of two companies of Montana mounted volunteers,
deserted when about to be mustered out. Armed
with Springfield rifles they have ridden for the
stage routes, and a reward of $l,OOO is offered for
their leader.- Medicine Lodge Creek is 60 miles
from Fort Lamed, where the Indian tribes are as-
sembled, and the superintendent of Indian affairs
writes hopefully of the turn affairs are taking and
the disposition shown by the tribes.
The Atrato arrived at Plymouth from the West
Indies, with the yellow fever on board, on Wednes-
day last. She was refused pratique, and proceeded
to the Mother Bank, where some deaths have oc-
curred. This circumstance shows the truth of an
observation made by a passenger in the Great Bri-
tain—which has lately performed the voyage from
Australia to Liverpool in 57 days—that the objec-
tion of the colonists of Australia to the Panama
route is the danger of sickness. They speak of the
unhealthiness of the Isthmus of Panama and the
dread of any detention there. The people of
Australia and New Zealand are much interested
in the completion of the Union Pacific Rail-
way. Not only is the distance shorter to San
Francisco, but the route is more interesting, varied,
and agreeable, and, what is of still greater import-
ance, more healthy. The Kansas branch of the
Pacific Railroad has reached Hayes city, and the
coaches to Santa Fe and Denver will make that
point their winter terminus. The Central Pacific
has almost completed the next Eastern Section, and
the intermediate section over the summit will be
finished early in spring. The commissioners have
inspected the section, west of Cisco, California, and
accepted the four miles of roofing. Two miles and
a half more of this roofing will be finished during
the Fall. The roofing is, we believe, to extend 20
miles. The Panama, New Zealand, and Australian
line should begin to make their arrangements for
diverting their terminus from. Panama to San
Francisco, a decision which will be accepted with
pleasure both by New Zealand and Australia.
On Wednesday, the 16th October, further elec-
tions were made in California. The candidates
were John Currey, Republican, the present Judge,
and Royal T. Sprague, Democrat, for Supreme
Court Judge, and John Sweet, Republican, and 0.
P. Fitzgerald, Democrat, for School Superinten-
dent. The returns received are from 21 counties,
which gives Mr. Sprague a majority of 1,106, and
Fitzgerald a majority of 595. In San Francisco
14,090 votes were polled, the Democrats c irrying
the entire ticket with a majority of 1,4')0. The
returns from the country are, however, in favour of
the Republican candidates, and the party are still in
hopes that Judge Currey, who is very popular, may
be re-elected, but it is generally believed that Mr.
Sprague has been successful, though Mr. Fitzgerald's
success is still uncertain.

The elections of delegates for the State Conven-
tion in Virginia took place on Tuesday, 22d Oct.
The result was looked forward to with interest, as
the example of the Old Dominion will probably be
followed by other Southern States having a white
majority. The greater proportion of the white Re-
publicans prefer defeat to the success of the extreme
Radicals under Hunnicutt, who has enunciated the
most atrocious sentiments. The Republican Con-
vention met-, in the Capitol-square, Richmond, on
the 14th October, and elected James Hayes (white)
as President. The candidates nominated by the
extreme Radicals are J. IV. Hunnicutt, Judge
Underwood, and James Morrissey, whites, and
Lewis Lindsley, and James Cox, blacks. The
moderate Republicans have nominated Dr. Sharp,
brother-in-law of General Grant, at the head of
their ticket, Fields Cook, a mulatto, at the tail.
The ticket headed by Marrnaduke Johnson will re-
ceive the unani►nou; support of the Conservatives,
who are working with great energy, and will poll a
full vote against a Convention. The Charloltsville
Chronicle now advocates a united effort to defeat
the Convention in Virginia, although it formerly
supported reconstruction. The vote in Ohio against
negro suffrage has had the effect aolticipated, and it
will probably be followed by several of the Southern
States, refusing to reconstruct under the late acts
of Congress. Such agitators as Hunnicutt will
effectually aid those hostile to reconstruction, and
Congress during next session will have to begin
again the difficult task of bringing the Southern
States back into the Union. They will at least have
the benefit of greater experience if the Acts now in
force fail.

Kentucky, the "Dark and Bloody Ground," is
about to take high action in regard to Congress.
Disgusted at the exclusion of the. Representatives
elected by her for Congress from that Assembly,
the subject will be discussed in the State Legisla-
ture on its next meeting, when it " will consider the
propriety of passing a law making it a penal offence
for any one to attempt to collect a Federal tax
within the limits of the State until she is admitted
to a representation on the floor of Congress." The
Representatives sent by Kentucky were excluded
from the House on the ground of disloyalty. Work
seems to be accumulating which will tax to the
utmost the ability and energy of the next Congress.
A Congressional Committee is in that State as in
Maryland, endeavouring to ascertain whether she
has a Republican form of Government.
Mr. Greeley, at the Cooper Institute Republican
meeting in New York on the 16th October, put
forth Sheridan and Sickles as more especially
worthy of the nation's gratitude. This was done in
opposition to General John Cochrane's nomination
of General Grant. Senator 'Wilson, who was un-
able to attend, wrote a letter to be read on the
occasion. His faith in the people and in the final
triumph of the right cause was firm, but he ad-
vised that General Grant should at once be put
forward as the chosen leader. "In this hour, he said,
when the echoes of rebel cheers over victories more
fleeting than their own fill our ears, I say to my
Republican comrades of New York that the Re-
publican party will give their Presidential candi-
date the electoral votes of 30 of the 37 States, more
than three millions of popular votes, and more than
half a million popular majority, and a Congress
with a two-thirds majority in both Houses." The
Tribune, using Senator Wilson's letter, omitted all
reference in it to Grant, under whose lead Mr. Wil-
son predicted the complete success of the Re-
publican party in the Presidential campaign, the
Tribune quoting the predicted triumph as if cer-
tain in the Senator's opinion without Grant. The
Tribune has a right to its own views, although
singularly out of keeping both with those of its
party and of the national mind, but the Tribune
has no right to garble the statement of others.
Judge Sharswood's majority was about a thou-
sand. General Hayes and the Republican State
