Gun APPLICATION FOR THE FRENCH MIssIoN.--
The newspaper discussion on the popular appli-
cation of the Editor Of this journal to the
Spells Abolition Cabinet at Washington for the
French mission, developes, somewhat to our
surprise, feeling in every respect favorable
to our views, not only on the part Of the
Independent press, but even among the party
journals of the opposite schools We believe,
therefore, that we stand q far better chance for
this Office than we have heretofore stood, though
so much occupied with mission of more inn
portauce than French or any other mission
the mission Of regeneration of the newspaper
press, in conjunction with our enlightened con-
temporaries in the New World. AS specimen
of the way in which the newspapers speak on
the subject, we may insert the following -
From the Daily Chronicle (New London Conn Oct. 22l
The New YoRK HERALD denies that James Gordon Ben
nett has been refused The appointment OF Minister to
France but says the state eut in u, newspapers that he
had been, has led him 10 consideration of the subject,
and lie concludes the whole that he veil qualified
in every point Of view for the mission to France as is

Bennett could have the newspaper discussion this
subject since il is not han week since it first ap
peered he ba been for months in Europe; but
there doubt that the appont mt Of Bennett would
be quite creditabe that of any nCivisual 70 whom
he allgdes--savinc perhaps Mr. Belmont who having
nended thirty Tnonsand dollars on Mr. Perces cleo
ton and been bepuled into his present place by Bennett
himself is entitled TO respectable treatment from
the Herald. There be dispute about Soule and
Owen. There not two persons in the United states
whose appointment Guild have been more discrsdtaoe CT
to the country unless except tho new
Judge OF The United States Court.
Tie exception made with regard to Belmont
is not well founded. It is true that in our alb
sence several paragraphs found their way into
the HERALD, Mandatory of the Jew clerk from
Frankfort Had we been az home we would
have made revelation that would soon have
disposed of him in the minds Of the American
people and the President. During the canvass
in the late Presidential campaign, he attempted
by very improper and insidious practices, to
depreciate General Pierce and glorify Mr.. Bu-
chanan at his expense; and it is we'll known
that it was by the influence Of the Minister to
the Court Of st. James that the agent of the
Rothschlds. ex.consul of the Austrian govern
ment and substitute of Hulsemann, has become
the representative of this republic in one of the
Oldest governments in Europe, with pros

from the financial ability he has displayed,
and 40 doubt will hereafter display, both in the
New World and the Old. We have curious de-
velopements to make in connection with the
Rothschilds, who held conference in the Palace
of the Grand Duke Of Nassau, in Wirtemburg,
near Biberach, on the Reiss at which certain
crowned heads crowed over the ingenuity Of
the scheme by which, for about $4,000 forms.
Rothschild, of Europe, intended to get posses
sion of the government Of the United States,
and change the character Of some Of its insttu-
lions. Had we been at home we would have
