The crowd of Americans at Paris.

[Correspendsnoe Of the New York Herald
The first grand ball at the Tueleries, of
which their will be four this year, is to
take place on Wednesday evening next.
l learn that there has been a more general
and persistent attack made upon the
American Minister for tickets on this
occasion than ever before. This is very
probable, frsm the factthat there are more
Americans in Paris this winter than at
any previous time, and most Americans
coming here, who make any p~retensions
to ton are always exceedingly DESTROYS of
receiving an introduction to their Males
ties. The great number of applications
received by the Minister, place him in a
most embarrassing position. Formerly
more Ameri ans were usually presented
on each evening, than representatives Of
all other n~ationalities combined. This
arose from the fact that for them the
only prerequisite wal that their names
should be forwarded by the American
Minister; while in the ease of Eng
lishmen, and the subjects Of other
monarehiAl Powers, it was required
hat before being presented at this Court,
they must have been at their own sover-
sign's. In the good old times Of Judge
Mason and Mr.. Faulkner, these represen-
tatives saved all dispute, annoyance, and
ill-feeling on the part Of the applicants,
by sending l. the names of ali who pre-
scented themselves; and some queer fish of
both sexes occasionally slipped through
the not very 6nely-drawn ministerial net.
When Mr.. Dayton oame here he followed
the example of his predecessors, until an
animation was received that a change
must be made in quantity and quality a
reduction of the furmer, and an improve
nent in the latter. After this, I thinkM-
Dayton never presented more than eigl {
or ten at a time, and Mr.. Bigelow last
winter pursued the same course and in
tends, I understand, to do the same this
year.
The result of this is that the Minister is
placed in a very unpleasant position, each
applicant, Of course, considering his claim
quite as good as that Of any other, and all
the rejected ones charging him with par
fiality, and an unjust and unwarrantsble
discrimination among his couutrymen and
lair eountrywomen.

inc stevenu Amendment.

ADa HLGWGmA AN EN4AAAG
The amendment to the constitution tx
ing the basis Of representation is the
Chicago Tribune suggests, defeetivein one
quite considerable particular, which should
be corrected before 1t passes the Senate.
It now reads as follows;
Representation shall be apportioaed
among the several States which may be in
eluded within this Union, according to their
respective numbers, counting the whole
number of persons in each State, including
Indians not taxed provided that ehsaersr
the ~eisetiue franchise shall be DENIED or abridged
n any State N account of race or color, at
persons Of such race or color shall Dc ezettoed
from the basis Of representation
Under this provision unless all blacks
are permitted to vote, or the restrictions
are precisely the same o whites and blacks
alike, no blacks at all can be counted
in the basis Of representation. In
New York, for instance, when negroes are
permitted to vote if they wi $3.50 worth
Of property, while whites vote without
owning anything, all the blacks would
be excluded from the basis of representa-
ton. So in States where an educational
qualification is required Of blacks and moi
of whites. Now it strikes us that it would
be letter, all things considered, to SO WORD
the amendment that only those who are
excluded from the franchise shall be ex
cludsd from the enumeration. In tina.
way States not willing to confer equa
suffrage upon the blacks would be en-
Outraged to give them q qualified fran
chike.

The Can adian Embassy which has been
lobbying in Washington since the session
began, 10 secure an extension Of the Re
ciprocity Treaty, has given up in disgust
and gone home. A dispatch from Wash
ington to the Toronto Globe says that the
Canadians rejected the proposition Of the
Ways and Means Committee. A dis
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial says
that The Ways and Means Committee re-
jected the propositions Of the Canadians.
Both may be true. But the Committee
on Ways and Means went much further
than to declare opposition to the extern
sion of the pr esent treaty. Its members
declared themselves opposed at present to
enter into any commercial arrangement
with Canada. We believe this to
be the true policy. Decline all
reciprocity treaties and in five
years Canada will drop like a ripe plum
into u hands Meantime We are not
injured by the cessation Of reeiproOitY, and
our trade will suffer but little.

twenty-three years of age, who, within
face which was, it is stated, lIvid with
horror, shIieked out an offer Of ia thou
sand guineas if you'll take me in" But
in that solemn hour millions of money
would lave been accounted valueless, and
20 return must have resulted in destruo-
ton to aIl. One of the seamen has stated
that when the boat was pushed of, and
the captain had wished those in her God
speed" the men resolved that no danger
must allowed to accrue to them from fur
Their crowding, and that ONE Of them
drew their knives with a determination of
cutting off the hands Of hose 0ho might
leap from the ship md cndsdror to cling to
the boat S guniodtes. 1t is also stated that
long before this, when it was first made
known that the vessel must go down, a
passenger brought on deck a carpet bag,
and that on his doing so the captain gave
a short melancholy laugh, andthen smiled,
as one of the passengers expressed it Sat
the preposterous idea of the mans think
ing at such a time of his property"
THE LAST GLIMPSE OF THE DOOMED.
Two passengers were seen with life
belts, but probably non were alive when
they came to the surface. The spectacle
was only 10 be seen, for in the din of the
tempest no cry from the sinking multitude
could be heard, and soon not q vestige was
visible. AS the ship sunk it WAS seen
that all on deck were driven forward, not
by water, but by a tremendous and over
towering rush of air from below, rs it es-
capped through the deck as well as the
patches, impelled all on deck forward
with violence, and their dreadful struggle
must have been coon ended. 1t was re-
marked that the third officer who was
named Angel, stood to the last at his post
at the donkey engine, which was employed
in working the pumps, and that his han3'

THE ESCAPE OF ran SURVIVORS.

Leaving the sad circumstances connect
ed with those who have persisted, there is
something to narrato conforming the ad-
ventures of the small remnant of the crew
and passengers who were saved. A COM
pass had been given them by the captain,
and under the directions of King the men
agreed hat whatever might happen they
would sit immovable except when pulling
at the oars. Two worked at each oar, and
they ran before the sea. Every nerve WAS
exerted 10 make the boat withstand the
furious tossings and strains as shs mount
ed the waves and became surrounded by
the surge. Before daylight, and as the
moon rose, the men were overioyed at des-
crying a vessel close alongside. They
hailed the ship and were heard, but as
they could present No light, they could not
be seen, although they could see the ship
taoking about for an hour trying to find
them. The searcn was fruitless, and the
ship was lost sight of. The boat
had not been rowed during the time
the ship was sighted, but simply kept
away before the wind until daylight, when
no vessel was visible. The men adhered
to their course, and at nine o'clock sighted
two vessels, but we're prevented from ma
king for them by the cross seas. They
rowed for one of them, however, for five
hours. When at last they came up TO
her they found her to be an italian bark,
the Marianople, Captain Oavasa. just
as they were approaching the vessel they
we're struck by heavy squalland shipped
a sea, so that all in the boat gave them
selves up for lost, but by only one of the
men moving in the boat to bale her out,
and no fresh seas striking her, they were
enabled 10 bale her clear, and bring up
alongside the bark. A line was thrown
to them, and they were drawn up to the
deck, where they found themselves COM
pletely benunbed by the exposure to
which they had been subjected. Captain
Cavasa, who could speak little English,
to whom the men feel grateful to the ex-
tremest extent, used more means for their
recovery and for their comfortth than simple
humanity would dictate. He had the men
stripped, rubbed, clad in fresh warm gar
ments, and killed for them a turkey, be-
sides providing tea and soup, and setting
apart for them warm beds.

PASSENGERS SHOOTING THEMSELVES
TO AVOID DROWNING.

Several reviewers were seen in the
hands of passengers, who did not COZ zeal
their inten ion Of shooting Themselves WheB
the last moment came, preferring to meet
their death, when inevitable, by a bullet
rather than by drowning. The steward,
indeed, overheard an offer by the owner
of a pistol, to a friend, that he would
shoot him if he desired. The well-meant
offer was at that time declined, and
whether these intentions were carried into
execution is not known, but no reports of
firearms were heard as the steamer found
cred.

ROOM FOR


When the men were all in the boat, one
Of the seamen Dried, "Thera may still be
room; fetch a lady" Mr.. Wilson then
sprang over a portion of the deck in search
of a lady he knew, but not seeing her, and
knowing that every instant was precious,
he said to a young girl, "Will you go 2
She did not refuse; therefore Mr.. Wilson
seized her and took her to the bulwarks;
but when she looked over the rails and
saw the dsitarce which she must spring,
she said in despair, "Oh, l cannot do that"
There was no time for persuasion or par
ley, and Mr.. Wilson was obliged to drop
the girl and jump from the steamer to the
boat, which he fell into safely. The ship
was being washed over to the boat, to-
wards which it lunged heavily.
THE CAPTAINS LAST ACT.
The captain, who was walking calmly
up and down the poop, had refused to
leave his ship, but Just before the boat put
of he had the consideration and presence
of mind to give those in the boat their
ncourse." He told them that it lay east
northeast to Brest, which was correct.
Before the boat could be got of it was in
great danger of being sucked down with
the ship, which was rapidly settling be-
meath the water. The swirl of water round
the stern that preceded the laundering had
already begun to be excessive, and the
boat was therefore hastily cut away.
