PROM EURorE ny CABLE.

PARIS, July 23.-In the Corps Legislatif
yesterday proposition to amend the revenue
bill by restoring former duties on all resinous
products from America into France, gave rise
to lively debate. 1t was supported on the
ground that duties on imports from America
were justified by the excessive tariff now In
posed by the United States on articles OF
French production. The measure was strongly
opposed by the frce.trade members. The d.
rector Of French Commerce, explaining the
views Of the Government, said they had closely
watched the changes which had been made
from time TO time in the tariff laws Of the
United States, and they greatly lamented that
such heavy burdens had been placed on French
products, but they were not disposed to adopt
n system Of retaliation which could only result
in injury to the commercial interests Of both
countries After further debate the amend.
ment was rejected.
LONDON, July as.-The telegraph purchase
bill has passed the House.
The harvest In Russia is generally bad. In
England 1t Is about equal to an average crop.
In the House of Lords this evening, Lord
Shaftesbury asked II the Ministry could give
the House any information concerning the
reported proposition OF the Russian Govern
ment for the disuse of explosive bullets. Earl
Malmesbury replied the Government were in
receipt of circulars from the Government OF
the Gar making the suggestion that the Great
Powers unite in au agreement to abandon the
use OF explosive bullets In time OF war.
He added that Prussia had already given her
assent, and steps were now being taken for an
international military commission at an early
day at st. Petersburg to consider the question
and settle the details.
The great annual volunteer review takes
place on Saturday, on Wimbledon commons.
The day will be observed in this city asa

SOME PEOPLE ARE INqUIRTHG what Iors
Mr.. johnson mean by the following paragraph
In his veto messagel These are his very
words.
can the State governments organized in
those States under the acts OF Congress for
that purpose, and under military control, are
Legitimate and of no validity whatever, and
In that view the votes cast in those states for
President and Vice President In pursuance of
the acts passed since the +th of March, 1867
and In obedience to the so-called reconstruc-
tion acts of Congress, cannot " legally re.
ceived and counted, while the only votes In
those States that can be legally cast and
counted will be those cast In pursuance OF the
laws in force In the several States prior to the
legislation by Congress upon the subject OF
reconstruction"
Our explanation is that Mr.. johnson means
what he says. There Is no ambiguity in the
language; and we can come to no other con-
clusion than this that the President regards
the reconstruction laws OF Congress null and
void" as Is announced In the Democratic plat
form, and also In Gen. Blair's letter.

Mr.. BLACKBRUwN.-The first oificial act OF
Mr.. Blaekbrown, one Of the new members from
Louisiana, Is the publication of the following
card for the benefit OF the press, which appears
this morning:
MR.. EDITOR wish to state, for the in.
formation OF whom 1t may concern, especially
Congressional reporters, that my name is
not Blackman. l am friend to the black
man, but am white throughout, except the
liver, W. CASPER BLACKBRowN,
Fifth Congressional District, Louisiana.
We take the shove from the Washington
correspondence to the New York Times. As
the gentleman whose name is Blackburn, and
not Blackman, as some OF the papers had 1t,
nor Blackbrown, as the Times has 1t, is an edi-
tor, sound Union man, and the publisher of
the Homer LiGd, which paper he continued
even in the most troublous days of the rebel
lion, we think he is entitled to have his name
spelled right and therefore, we give 1t as 1t is,
W Jasper Blackburn. He Is n sound Republi.
can, and we are glad to see him In Congress.

THE Frcemaa's Journal, a Catholic paper,
more Democratic than Catholic, comes out for
Seymour, though Pendleton was Its first
choice. It don't feel much aggrieved that
Pendleton was thrown overheard; but 1t
gives pointed slap at Mcclellan. These are
its words:
GAIL who considered themselves represented
in the Convention are bound In honor, as we
think, to support the nominees. We have
made great advance on the position OF 1854
Then we had an ambiguous platform OF prin-
ciples, and the little military fellow that was
put on it was told to kick the platform over
he was told, and was defeated for Democrats,
by tens OF Thousands, refused to vote for him,
and that was the end Of very little Mae
"who has sacrificed more than Mr.. Pcndle-
toni Was not his act In turning the vote Of
Ohio to Mr.. Seymour, magnanimous-even be-
yond equal in the history OF this country
Cannot we, who have sustained Mr. Pendle-
ton in his principles, act with him In his self
denialI
"The platform Of lsCs is more distinctly
Democratic than was the platform of 1864. In
place OF the military puppet that took the
nomination while denying the conditions on
which 1t was rendered, we have now, as our
tleman, and n man that has weighed, aud &C
eepted understandingly, the Democratic plat
form, In Its letter, and in the meaning put
on it.n
BY this we are given TO understand that Sey-
mour endorses Pondieton's views and stands
upon his platform.

Hair. Latter Of Aesept.nce.

It is hardly worth while to lumber up our
columns with Blair's letter Of acceptance, as
II is a rehash OF his Brosdhead epistle, full OF
fire and fury.
II appears that he does not believe In Gen.
Grant, for he says that the usuyPirs Congress
ia under the military prestige Of this hero,
and he asserts that he will lead the nation to
despousm and death. Tho man who saved
the nation by his valot, heroism and patriotic
deeds will not do any such thing, and Gen.
Blair ought to know better than to assert such
STUFF.
Blair halls Mr.. Seymour as "a peace man."
livery "angel Of peace" Mr.. Seymour is q
peace man who, during the war, gave "aid
and comfort" to the rebels.
We have been warned frequently during the
years that have passed of the "coming man on
horseback.p Probably Mr.. Blair is this man,
and he proposes to overthrow the newly re-
constructed States, and TO cxpei and drive
out the Senate unless u win do the bidding Of
the rebel cohorts.
Mr.. Blair is Rgurativc; he calls Grant a
ENABLED warrior" BY which we are given to
understand that he tBlair) believes that he Is
living In past centuries, when deeds such as
he now proposes were the order OF things.
Not so my dear Mr.. Blair. This is the nine.
tecnth century, and we are going to vindicate
and maintain the liberties Of all mankind.
This letter of acceptance is even more
damaging to the Democracy than the one
which secured him the nomination.
All who read 1t will readily see what would
be the fate Of the country should this malig.
nant hotspur get into power, or by the death
or incapaeity of Seymour reach the White
House.
This letter will Gre anew the Southern
heart, but 1t will lose the ticket many votes in
the North. There is no chance for Blair 10
succeed.

SOME rAPERs are dealing rather harshly
with Mrs. Lincoln because she proposes to
visit England, and is going out under the pro-
lection and escort OF Mr.. Reverdy johnson,
our Minister to the Court OF st. James. We
confess we do not see anything SO very wrong
In this visit of the widow of our late Ismen
and honored President. We know that Mrs.
Lincoln Is not the most refined and intelligent
lady in the United States, but her right to
travel abroad just as any other American lady
may do, must be conceded after all. We do
not see what right the people Of this country
have to complain II she does not behave well
at home or abroad. She 10 the widow Of an
ex-President, so is Mrs. John Tyler, who was
In this city the other day. No one seems dis
posed to pry into the private affairs OF this
lady, or to enquire how she demeans herself
in private or public. Why then should they
trouble themselves about Mrs. Lincoln.

Bid. for the Pos, once stamps.

In the account which was given yesterday
of some of our city papers, that the bid Of Mr..
George 7. Jones will be thrown out because
he has not furnished any proof to the Govern
ment that he is engaged in the business, or has
fire-proof building, is incorrect. It is not
true that Mr.. jones' bid will be rejected on
this account. Mr.. Jones Is as well prepared
to do this work as any man.who bids. He is a
thorough artist, none better In the country,
and can furnish as satisfactory credentials to
the Government rs any man who may bid.
We believe the Postmaster General under
stands fully the whole question in issue, and
we trust that Mr.. Jones' bids will be consid-
cred and properly decided without any such
invidious distinctions as are named above.
II Mr.. Jones offers as good terms to the Gov.
ernment as any others of his competitors, we
see no good reason why he should be rejected
and we do not believe that he will be.
