NEW YosK, Oct. l.
A Paris letter, dated September 18th, says:
"The convention passed between the French
and Mexican governments, conceding to the
former half of the custom house revenues of
the ports located on the Atlantic, and one
fourth Of those Of the harbors on the Pacific
has been looked upon in the French bourse as
securing the Mexican debt, and has caused =
sudden rise in Mexican bonds. The holders
Of these bonds, encouraged by the guarantee
they have just obtained, MAINTAIN that france
is, BY the convention, sntia2ed 70 require ct
all times, from Maximilian or his successors,
the payment of all amounts, including the
loans which these bonds represent. The
publication of that convention il the Mont
tear concurrently with the appointmest Of
General Decastillman, the aide, de-campe of
the Emperor, and Mons D'Gallipet, m ad-
ministrator of great ability, has naturally
been construed as the forerunner of the en-
tire abandonment of all direct Intervention
by France in Mexican affairs. Thus, whilst
on one hand the convention settles all her r.
nancial claims, the removal Of General Ba-
xaine, of which you will hear ere long, and
the appointment in his stead Of General De.
castillmAn, settles the military part of the
question. The General goes to Mexico with
no other mission than To arrange for the with.
drawal Of the French troops, snd perhaps to
give the benefit Of his experience 70 the OFF,
GERS engaged in organizing the Mexican army.
This is all. HIS task will necessarily be .
short one, and does not imply, on the part of
the French Government, the idea Of giving
any assistance TO the Mexican Empire, which
in London and Paris is looked upon As ire
trievably lost. As to the Marquis Of Gallipet,
his presence in Mexico refers solely to the
organization Of the custom house system,
and TO the appointment of custom house otfi
GERS, who are to be elected from among civil
officers Of French birth

"WHEs DID Ever DESERT PRIxcIPLE?''
Mr.. Andrew johnson delivered radical
speech Of the worst kind against President
Andrew johnson in the United States Senate
on the 10th day Of December. There can b
no doubt whatever that he then thought that
Rebel States were no better than provinces,
for be said with positive frankness on the
subject that has not since been equaled:
"Suppose Louisiana was now out Of the
confederacy (Union), holding The keyto the
Gulf, the outlet to the commerce Of the great
West, under the doctrine laid down BY these
Ministers, and pracaced BY the Congrsss Of
the United States, would not this Govern

Radical speech frem Hon. John 4. Kas-
sou-The Copperhsaas Disappointed
and De DenoRalixed.


#fspseil Dispatch to the Chicago Tribuse.l
DEs MoIsEs, September 20.
Hon. Johr A. Kasson. Representatives in
Congress, addressed large audience to>day
in this place for the FIRST time in the canvass.
He took strong radical grounds, bitterly de-
nouncing the President for betraying his par
ty, and openly bribing men with official pat
ronage to sell out their consciences and de,
fend an administration whose policy they de-
test. He was distinctly opposed to the Presi
dents policy Of restoration, and characterized
the monumental electioneering tour Of John
SON in terms betting the subject The
speaker definitely committed himself in favor
of the Constitutional Amendment, and passed
a high eulogy on the ability, temper and pat
riotism Of Congress.
The Copperheads turned out in great num-
bers, expecting to hear a conservative speech.
They were appalled, at the utterances of the
speaker and numbers of them 6ed from the
room, swearing that the speech of kasson
was confoundedly poor consolation, for both
parties were mistaken as to the course the
speaker intended to take; and the Copper
heads we're awfully demoralzed.

Cencerning the Abovs Subject.
New YoRK, September 2s-The following
correspondence appears in the Philadelphia
papers to dav:
10 Hon Thaddeas Stevens:
DEAR SIR.-As the question has been fre
quently asked of me what effect the success
of the Presidents policy of reconstruction
would have upon our National securities,
would like to have your views upon the sub
ject, if it would not be trespassing too much
upon your time.
Yours very respectfully,
tSigned) JoHs GiGER-
SEPTEMBER 2l.
To John Giger, Esq:
DEAR SIR;-ln answer to your inquiry what
effect the success of the Presidents views
will have on the National securities, am of
the opinion that its effect will be very inluri
Gus. The President contends that the body
of men known as a Congress has no constitu
tional powers, and can do no valid acts in the
absence Of the excluded States. The Con-
crosses that authorized the war debt and laid
the internal duties to pay it, were composed
Of precisely the same number OF representa-
tiyes from the same States as the present.
, Ii it should he decided that those Congresses
had no constitutional existence, then the five
twenties, ten-forties, seven>thirties and legal
tender greenbacks will have been issued
withyout authority, and will be worthless
Whether they would ever be redeemed,
would depend on what the President would
consider Constitutional Congress, after the
admission Of the rebel representatives, when
the condition OF the debts of both belliger-
ents would be considered. Yours truly,
! tSigned1 THADDEus STEVENS.

My heart smote me when | saw his
eyelids futter strangely, and his pale
lips culver, and his little FACET was
neither blotched nor altered-take
the strange calmness of death. Jane
wept silently Mr.. Forbes was tear
less, and sat looking on like one turn
ed to stone. At first he seemed in
credulous, but at length he understood
that it was all over. | do not think
he saw me; if he did, he forgot me.
He turned to his wife.
Jane, he said
She looked, and did not move.
Jane, come to me. ~
4 She rose, and went and sat on the
couch by his side With asudden
moan, in which love, remorse, and
pain seemed to mingle, he drew her
towards him, He laid his head on
that kind bosom where his ehild's
head had so often rested. 1t had
been the refuge of all little Arthur's
troubles, and it now received the
strong man s passion Of grief. Jane
flung her arms around her husband s
neck and mingled her tears with his,
and while they wept together, the
young and innocent dead slept on and
smiled devinely, with closed eyes, at
that fair world, without sorrow, pas
sion, or pain, which it had just en-
tered. .ip "'
stole softly away, feeling that out
of the saddest grief good may come.
Long after this, Jane said to me:
Cousin William, my husband gave
me his heart in that hour, and he has
never taken it back again" Is
5" And never will, little Jane; for
if there be a, fondly loved wife, you
are that woman"
Jane had the smallpox; but her
husband nursed her through it, and
she recovered quickly, and was not at
all disfgured. Happy janet | saw
her the other day when / called at
the Elms on my way to London.
What bright old house it looked,
now that Jane was loved and happy?
How proud Mr.. Forbes seemed OF his
wife and of their only child, a beauti-
full boy very like him,-need say his,
name is Arthur? Welt Do you
know, fond though she evidently was
Of him, | doubted if Jane loved this
Arthur quite so much as she had
loved the other one? | told her so.
The first Arthur" she replied,
was the child of my sorrow; the sec
ond Arthur is the child of my happi-
ness. Both could not be dear after
the same fashion. Besides, the other
Arthur loved me best, and this one
prefers his father" = fs o. $40
"And Annie?" / suggested; what
about her?" e a1e 'ala - a8ii
Il neither know nor care" replied
Jane, with superb Indifference. "The
dead Arthur makes me feel secure in
the past, and with the living Arthur /
can defy dozen Armies"
Dear little Jane. She was just the
same little goose as ever. 1t was ike
her to think that her hold on her
husband depended on dead or on a
living child. Mr.. Forbes knew better.
In the fulness of his happiness he
told me the whole story about
Annie, as he drove me to the sta
ton. OF course, he did not tell me
who Annie was; but he had seen
her again at party, and he could not
help saying
Cousin William, you cannot i'm
agine what | felt when | compared
these two women-my dear, pretty
Jane (pretty Jane! oh, love, love y
and that cold. shallow, frivolous
woman My darling felt me shudder
as we left, and she thought | was
cold Cold / was thinking-I
might actually have mamied that
woman!" ol

The Future of the Country.

The Richmond Times, in its usual and
forcibe style, writes as follows:
Does any one reeollect an instance fur.
nished in human experience of the preser
vation of Republican form of Govern.
ment, after the consumation of such revo
luton as that which the radicals are in in
augurating? All free nations have lost
their liberties just as we are doing, through
the Vaccinations of bad men and the cor.
ruptious flowing from the misappropriation
of the public treasure When our revenues
were small and expenditures limited, the
struggle for the possession of power was not
of such character as to shake the founda.
tions of the Government aud to break the
peace of the country But now we have
an income which neither Greece nor Rome,
10 all the plenitude of power and the mag
nitude of empire, ever collected from
their tributaries. And when "barbaric
gold" had driven virtue and honor from
their councils when their simple republics
fell before the sapping vices of conquest and
wealth, their Governments were as hard
to reconstruct" as ours. They, too, had
men like Andrew johnson - wise and pa
triotic - who essayed to check the downfall
of truth and virtue. But they battled in
vain. The virtues of Cato, the wisdom of
Socrates, the valor of Scipio and the elo.
queuce of Demosthenes and Cicero, were
vain to stop the food, which, once it sets in,
sweeps until the last landmark of freedom
disappears. 1t is not hard to lose liberty !;
but, when gone, who can recall it? There
is no resurrection for the lost institutions
of free people; and if the masses of the
North shall follow in the lead of New Eng
land and the radical false prophets, they
will desert the platform on which their fore.
fathers stood, even as the Hebrews of old
abandoned their God, and, like them, they
will wander, perhaps forty years in will
derness of anarchy, blood and suffering,
smitten by the wrath of Heaven for their
wickedness and idolatry.
If, through the madness and folly of fac
tion, the liberties of the American people
are lost, history furnishes no example to
guide US in retrieving them. The lamp of
antiquity sheds no light over paths which
return from the sepulchres of dead repub.
lies. When they fall, they fall never to
rise again, and an iron despotism rolls to
the door of their tomb, stone which can
never be displaced. New nations may arise,
new republics be formed from new peoples
and materials, but when once the fires of
liberty 60 out, they never can be rekindled
upon the same affairs. This admonition
should not be disregarded by those whose
dearest rights are in jeopardy. The voices

CONSPIRACY TO HANG JEFF DAVIS
In another column will be found commu.
nication from Judge Advocate General
Holt, in which he denies the authenticity
of certain letters purporting to have been
written by him, which we have heretofore
published, in relation to an attempt to SUBJ
orn witness for the purpose of duplicating
Jeff Davis in the crime of assassinating the
lamented President Lincoln. We have no
desire to impugn the motives or to assail the
standing of Judge Holt, but upon compar.
ing the original letters with the manuscripts
of his denial, We are forced, in the absence
of microscopic test, to pronounce them
written by the same hand. The letters
may be seen at this Office, either by the
Judge Advocate General or any other per-
son who may feel curious 10 regard to the
matter.-Neso York Herald.
