not complain of this SIR. X probably understands
what sort OF wares are suited 10 bis market, aid s
enabled by his peculiar convictions TO supply
them every one to his taste.
striking illustration OF the skill with which
Mr. X. aocompshes bis function is contained IN
his letter Of May 3, in which he speaks Of LOUSY
MkTHIEU, member Of the French Assembly
from the Colony Of Martinique. The French Re
public, it is known, does not possess that dlstln-
guished intelligence and humanity which prevails
in Louisiana and some other quarters, and o.
which there are relics even in the great state ol
Nev-York indeed it is doubted whether rance
understands republican first principles at all As
proof OF this ignorance she has not only decreed
that there shall be no Slavery IN her territories,
but ba, even admitted black men 70 equal polt
cal privileges with white ones In consequence
the French Assembly contains members whose
complexion is too dark for Republication as un-
derstood at New Orleans. One Of these IS LOUSY
Matthew, OF whom Mr.. Kendall writes as follows,
making the trihlng blunder OF getting his name
out Of joint
Among the individuals who have been arrested in the
neghborhood Of the Porte ~ Denis within the past
week along with hundreds OF others, you Will nouce

more eagerly listened 20. Iiis complaint was delivered

English may be- set down as follows neither the Ian

This latter ejaculation which given with all the
force Of Ethiopian surprise and indignation, threw III
entire chamber into cOnyulslOns Of laughter, much TO
the surprise, without doubt Of the gentleman from
Martinique, who could NOT see why this iorcib.e eA
preston OF his honest Indignation could cause such
mernmcnt
Inths story there are several mistakes, not to call
them by a harder name la the first place, Mathieu
had spoken before and spoken well. la the sec
ond place, he speaks as good French as Mr., Ken
dali does English. W. happen TO be personally IN
formed on this point. Mr.. Matheu, though negro,
is person of good education, eentlemanly man
ners and good sense and is received in society in
unenlightemed Paris to which Mr.. Kendall or any
other gentleman might be glad to be admitted
With regard to his spec ch on this occasion, the
Ionrnai dcs DCbats, paper which omiIs no de
cent occasion TO cast ridicule upon the Socialist
Democracy, reports it at length with no other re-
marks than that it was accompanied by frequent
marks of appreciation from the members OF the
Left, and was concluded amid strong expressions
OF satisfaction from the same quarter. The speech
itself is clear, calm and diguifed. He was going
II his residence and found crowd near his door
with the police summonng them to disperse --
Not wishing to be compromised 10y mJnShug IN Al
assemblage Of the sort, be turned to the police t.
be protected in entering his lodgings. Instead Of
tins he was arrested aud imprisoned although he
exhibited his badge of Representative, by virtue
Of which his person was inviolsble. This outrage
no narrated at the tribune in terms every way ap-
propriatc. We find in the Dc60fs no hint Of the
ironc laughter of which Mr.. Kendall speaks.
through that paper would not have omitted it had
il taken place.
From all this we conclude that Mr.. Kendall has
an original Imagination of his own or is intlmste
with people who have. Those persons who rely
upon the statements contained in his letters 10
doubt find satisfaction in the information which
they impart- c A D.
