DIPLOMATIC Costume.

Tho Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tri-
bune, gives the following account of the recep-
ton Of the plain American dress at the Court
Circles. 1t has been the custom for all the
diplomatic agents in Europe to appear on such
occasions in full uniform, but secretary Marcy
has issued a circular, directing those who rep
resent this Republic, to appear in plain citi-
zens' dress. The Tribune's correspondent
SAYS -
During the day reception took place in
the Tuilleries, in which large number of
public functionaries were received by the EN-
peror. The diplomatic corps was amoug the
number. Mr.. Sanford was present with his
black coat-a black crow among the golden
birds again. 1t is usual on such occasions for
the diplomatic corps to form circle, and the
Emperor then passes around, taking the hand
of each. On this occasion, however, he re-
manned standing on the step Of the throne, sig
nifying that the Ministers must come to him.
Some of the Ministers did approach him, and
among others Lord Cowley. Mr. Sanford
passed straight through the room, paving his
compliments as he passed, and nothing was
then said concerning his dress, although it
was much remarked. aaLU4e
In the morning a select company of about
$50 persons were invited to the Tuilleries to
view with the Emperor and Empress the fire.
works and the illumination. The company
consisted of the Imperial family, the heads of
legation and their wives and few distinguish
ed foreigners, among whom were Marshall
Narvaez and the Queen Christina, of Spain
1t was an official occasion, because it was the
celebration of the birth Of Saint Napoleon. and
all were again in uniform but Mr. Sanford
who this time experienced little trouble in
getting through the hands of the various lack
eys who pave the way to His Majesty The
company were collected in the Sale des Mare
cheaux, when the Emperor and Empress en-
tered about o'clock. Mr.. Sanford was talk
ing with the Princess Matilda, the Prussian
Minister, and two or three others, concerning
his dress, when the Emperor entered The
latter, upon seeing Mr.. Sanford, crossed over
to him directly, gave him his hand, talked 10
him few moments, requested him to remem-
Der him to a mutual friend in America when
he wrote, and returned again to the Empress
thus signifying in the most delicate, unmis
taxable, and frank manner, that the represen-
tative of the Government of the United States
| was welcome at his court in whatever dress
his Government indicated to him. This was
quite triumph for Mr.. Sanford in presence
of those who had condemned his course. But
it must be recoliected that Louis Napoleon is
a man of more general intelligence more
knowledge of the world, than any Of those
who surround him; he is well acquainted
with America, and her institutions, and is
therefore capable of understanding and appre-
ciating the motive which dictated Mr. Marcy's
order. Next to France, he respects England
! and the limited States more than any ofher
powers, and there is no fear that he will OBJ
Ject TO any movement which does not mean or
intend an insult to him or his Government.

The Right Course.

The question Of temperance in Georgia, is
causing some excitement. The candidates for
Governor of that State haSe come to a wise
conclusion upon the question They think
the cause of temperance Nin be more likely
to be injured than benefited by being con-
nected with the political contests of the day.
We have found that out il Maine by expert
ence. The following is 5ke joint address of
the two candidates for Governor in Georgia :
To THE Public The undersigned. having
been recently called upon, whilst engaged in
public discussion, to define our positions rel
alive to the temperance question, now exciting
some interest in the State of Georgia., and
there being no material difference in the re-
sponses made by us sevetally, for the purpose
of avoiding all misunderstanding of what we
said, as well as for the information of others,
present the following statement of our answers
on the occasion referred to:
We are friends of the temperance reform.
and bid all enlisted in it Qed speed in every
legitimate effort to advance it, We think the
cause is more likely to be iajured than .bene-
fitted by being connected with the political
contests of the day. The fState temperance
convention having been in ssession since the
gubernatorial nominations were made, and
having adjourned without taking any steps to
interrogate the nominees, We infer that they
have wisely determined tohvoid that connec-
ton, and commend their example to the favor
of their constituents and organs. N
The question of mere kxpediency in any act
of Legislation on this subject is SO manifestly
one for the consideration !of the general as
sembly, as to render. anys expression of opin-
ion by us unnecessary. The constitntionality
of such measure would demand executive no
less than Legislative scrutiny. But there hav-
ing been several different. schemes proposed.
the details of which, vet Unsettled, NAV yery
materially affect the Constitutional question.
we cannot, with due regard to propriety, or
with any assurance Of aypiding misconstruc-
ton, pronounce upon either. The constitu-
tiOnality Of all enactmentS ought to be gravely
and deliberately considered by the two de-
partments in the order prescribed in the con-
stitution-by the Legislature first, by the, ex-
ecutive afterWdrdS. y n

GEN. CAss AND THE ADahNIsTRATIoN.-
following, from the Washington Union Of Sun
day, goes to confirm the r$fort that Gen. Cass
has written letter In approval Of the policy Of
the President r,,.
r General Cass has not ben silent he has
watched the course of PRECEDENT Pierce with
deep solcitude he has Witnessed the assaults
made upon him for recognizing as national
democrats all who took theil6 position honestly
on the creed Of 1852, and hGhas expressed his
own concurrence IN the Aplicy adopted by
President Pierce in the most,Aneuuivocal terms.
We make this declaration with full knowl-
edge of the facts-we spea&by the book when
we say that General Cass cordially and thor
oughly approves the policEpf the administra-
ton. We say, further, thai he will come into
the Senate the warm, ardeH and devot ed per-
sonal and political friend oi ssthe President.
This Is not Inere inference
but with that frankness and 3earIessness which
have ever characterised the Rreat statesman OF
the north west, he has I'd 40 his unqualified
testimony, and if his frie~ls in New York
have any respect for his OPT fious, they may be
fully assured that whilst h&s regards the posi-
ton of President Pierce alshaving been envi-
roned with unprecedented Hhbarrassments, he
is satisfied that his policy ha3Ao only been wise
and patriotrc, but in fact thd only policy which
could have proved successful.
