A SHERIFF DISAPPOINTED.


Tho " M L. a and nm Opera mnnaEer.
The Pittsburg Post thus tells how the Young
Mems Mercantile Library Association of that
city tried to collect one thousand dollars which
they claimed to be due from MIR. G. d. Hess,
who is well known here, and is at present
manager of the Richings Opera Troupe. A
summons was issued for Mr.. Hess, and deputy
sheriff was detailed on Saturday morning to
serve the same. The deputy visited the Academy,
and, under instructions, calmly awaited the fall
of the curtain on the Position of Lonjunaedu
to execute the same. The energetic Hess, how
ever, got wind of the affair and mysteriously
disappeared before the hour appointed greatly
Mr.. Hess took the accommodation train to East
Liberty, and there, by preconcerted arrange
ment the Pacific express, which came along
subsequently, stopped and took the gentleman
on board, and conveyed him speedily from this
the matter has not as yet transpired.

Another Letter to the French from Count d
lihnInhnrG

Another Letter te Sth:,L The French from Count de
Count de Chambord has Just addressed the
following manifesto to France
Frenchmen:-Once more your destinies are
in your own hands.
For the fourth time within less than half O
century your political institutions have col
lapsed and we are given over to the most sad
trials.
Ought not France at length to see the end of
these barren agitations, the sources of so many
misfortunes? 1t is for you to answer.
During long years of unmerited exile, have
not allowed my name to be for single day a
cause of division and trouble; but at the pre-
sent moment, when that name may perhaps be
pledge of unanimity and security, do not
hesitate to tell my country that / am ready to
devote my whole self to the protection of her
happiness
Yes, France will again lift up ner head if, en-
Gghtened by the teachings of experience, and
weary of so many fruitless endeayors, she will
consent to enter again on the path which Provi-
dence has marked out for her.
Chief of that house of Buurbon which, by the
help of God and of your fathers, once built up
France into a powerful unity, ought to feel
more profoundly than any one else the extent of
our disasters, and to me more than to any other
belongs the task of repairing them.
May the sorrow of my country be the signal
for awakening to noble efforts! The stranger
will be driven from the soil and the integrity of
our territory assured if we will only concentrate
to the attainment of one end all our efforts, all
our devotion, all our sacrifices.
Do net forget that it is by going back to its
traditions of faith and honor that the great
nation, weakened for one moment, will recover
its power and its glory.
AS lately told you, government does not con-
sist in lattering the passions of the people, but
in confiding in their virtues. Do not allow
yourselves to be led away by fatal illusions.
Republican institutions which might correspond
to the new aspirations Will never take root In
our old monarchical soil.
Penetrated with a sense of the needs of my
time, all my ambition is to found, with your
help, truly national government, with right
for its basis, honesty for the principle of its ad-
ministration and moral greatness for its end.
Let us wipe away all memory of past disputes,
80 fatal to the development of true progress and
true liberty.
Frenchmen let this one cry rise from your
hearts: "All for France, by France, and with
France" HENRI.

PRINCE ADUMA.
The Cousin of the Tycoon and his Retjuue-
Their Appearance and Opinions.

Aduma, young Japanese Prince, whose
arrival in this country was announced some days
ago, reached New York yesterday morning,
accompanied by the ten Japanese youths who
are to be his fellow students during his stay
here They are now located at the Metropolitan
Hotel, where ii is their intention to remain so
long as they sojourn in this city. reporter
called last evening at their hotel and had brief
interview with the two gentlemen who act as
interpreters to the Prince and his companions,
and obtained the following Information
The party numbers eleven all told, their
names being Prince Aduma, Nanboo, IkagaWa,
Togara, Nara, Fakado, Fillmore, Enowe, Fe-
dina, Sherane, and Yagimoto. The two last
named are the interpreters. Prince Aduma is
cousin to the reigning Emperor of Japan, and
visits this country with the view of finishing his
education, his companions being animated by
similar desire. They have not as yet determined
what college they shall attend. Sherane and
Ikagawa, the Interpreters, who both speak very
good English, are also TO study with the others.
They are very intelligent and answered ques-
tions readily and affably. At his request the
reporter was introduced to the Prince, whom he
found seated with his party in one of the ele-
giant parlors of the hotel. On the table were
several empty wine glasses, and an aroma per-
yaded the room which told that they had been
enjoying Slight jolliication. The Prince who
was seated somewhat apart from the others +,
arose from his chair and extended his hand to
the reporter with q smiling Good evening"
The Prince is quite a youth in appearance,
seemingly not over fourteen years of age. His
figure is slim and graceful, and if the swarthy
color of his complexion is excepted there is
hardly anything about his features by which he
could be distinguished from one of the Caucas-
sian race. His countenance is pleasing and he
has winning, frank expression He was
dressed in a fashionably cut frock coat and neat
fitting pants, and wore massive gold watch
and chain.
The interpreters stated that all of the party,
and especially the Prince, are delighted with
their experiences of this country, and look for
ward to their sojourn here with much pleasure.

Bourbakt's Flying Armies.

BOurbakPs Flying Armies.
AMIENs, Oct. 31.-General Bourbaki arrived
here yesterday and was greeted with great en-
thusiasm. He announces his intention to form
flying armies, with material to relieve invested
places, and take the field at the head of the
forces. Vigorous preparations for defense are
making on all sides.
Siege of LonRwy.
LUXEMBURG, Oct 31.-A detachment of six
thousand troops from the army of Prince Frede-
rick Charles has gone to besiege Longwy near
the Bel gian border.
The Condition of Paris.
LONDON, Oct, 31.-The news from Paris re-
ceived by way of the Prussian headquarters
before that city is quite serious. The French
prisoners recently captured report that the
troops behind the Notifications receive only
half a ponnd of meat twice a week. Many
French women and children from Paris approach
the Prussian lines, and though they are warned
they will be shot if they attempt to come
nearer, rather court instant death than suffer
starvation in the city. The rule to exclude all
strangers from Paris and to prevent the escape
of citizens is rigidly enforced.
The Metz Prisoners.
Four thousand French officers taken prisoners
at Metz have asked permission of the Prussian
military authorities through Prince Frederick
Charles, to Keep their swords.
The railway from Chalons to Paris by way of
Scissors has been restored, and the Prussians are
now using it as means of transporting troops
and supplies.
The Bombnrdment of Paris.
VERSAILLES, Oct. 3l.-Invitations have been
sent to the rulers of the various States of South
Germany to come forward to witness the bonn
bardment of Paris.

VIENNA Oct. 3l.-As Prussia still demands
cession of territory from France as a preimi-
nary of peace it is believed in official circles
here that the war must proceed indefinitely.
ZURICH, Oct. 31.-The Swiss Government has
asked of Prussia to be included in the permit to
have a courier leave Paris every week with
dispatches to neutral governments.

MILLIONS IN SUIT.
The Campbell Heirs Claim Over Half the
City Of Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-The first
step in the suit brought by the Camp
bell heirs, who claim over one half OF
the city-three thousand acres, val
ued at seventy million dollars
was taken to-day, the chancellor
granting an Injunction preventing the
city from tearing down some buildings
on property purchased by the city for
wharf purposes. All back rents for a
term of years will be sued for, so that
the suit will be for fully one hundred
million dollars. Thedefendants num-
Der over two thousand. The suit is
creating much excitement.
The Louisville C0urieT-JOuvndl says:
'sThOse claiming to be the heirs of
John Campbell are not his direct de-
scendants, but are mostly the great
grandchildren of his sister, Mrs.
Beard, to whom he made over all his
property. Mrs. Beard sold her life
estate to Fortunatus Cosby, and when
she died the rightful heirs were in
fants, and, consequently, the property
went into the hands of trustees APP
pointed by Campbell in his will. 1t
remained in the hands of these trus-
tees till the year 1862, when the last
one died, and since that time it has
been lost sight of. The heirs in ques-
ton declare that they can show clear
titles to all the property claimed,
which is about as follows: Begin
ming at Second street and the river,
and running southeast to the cOrnerOf
Preston and Green streets, thence
south to Broadway, and thence down
Broadway to the Ohio river. This
property at the present time, with the
improvements, is valued at over $751;

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May I3.-Maj. Pow
ell was before the House Appropria-
ton Committee to-day, asking for an
appropriation of SIS, 200 to enable him
| to make further explorations among

mittee decided not to make the appro-
priation.
The House to-day passed the Senate
bill for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the officers and men of the
steamer Oneida, which was sunk by
the Bombay.
The Committee on Claims have de-
cided to report fayorably on the claim
for four hundred thousand dollars
brought by parties who suffered by
the border, based on the fact that the
Government is bound to afford protec-
ton to its citizens against lawlessness.
The Ways and Means Committee
had a discussion to-day ON the income
tax section of the internal revenue
bill. Nc action was taken, but from
the opinions of the members of the
committee it is probable they will re-
DOrt in favor ofeXempting twenty-five
hundred dollars and levying tax of
three per cent. on all incomes over
that sum.
The trans-continental railroad bill
was considered to-day by the Pacific
Railroad COmmitte, and, after some
amendments, the committee agreed
to report on it favOrabIy.
The Northern Pacific Railroad bill
was laid over for the present, so as
to allow all the amendments to be
printed.
The following nominations were
sent to the Senate to-day: G.. w.
Dent to be appraiser of merchandise
of San Francisco; Nap. B. Stone to
be postmaster at San Francisco; Jesse
Moore postmaster at OwensborO, KY;
Susan b. Burbridge to be postmistress
at HOpkinsville, Ky.
The House Committee on the Judi
ciary have agreed to Bingham's bill,
with amendments, to regulate the
mode OF determining the ratification
OF amendments to the Constitution of
the United States.
Secretary Boutwell, to-day made
personal appeal to several members
of the Ways and Means Committee
not to report long four per cent.
loan. He said he did not believe it
good policy, and if they did it would
defeat the object which the Govern
ment had in view of reducing tine
rate of interest.
