ments-Thc Demands of the Republic for
the Revictunlling of Paris and nm Elcc-
tion-Bismarck's Refusal and Executive
Justification.
LONDON, Nov. "a, 1870.
The following is the essential part OF government
circular Of an important character which has been
addressed by the Minister OF Foreign Affairs OF
republic serving at foreign Courts. The Minister
Says
With regard TO the new efforts which are
now being prosecuted ana made to effect an
armistice SO far as we are concerned, being still
faithful to rights, remain In the same dispo
sitlon as did at the moment when the former ne
gotatons OH the same suject were undertaken. We
maintain the basis OF armstice the right OF re-
victualling Paris and the holding of general par
iamentary election all over France We have rea
son TO believe that his Excellency Count Bismarck
has an intention to suggest to the neutral Powers
and to advance as an argument against their ac-
ceptancc new proposition to the effect that the
elections can be held without an armstice. The
French gevernm ent has declared already that it
could not accept this; but 1t Is OF Importance TO
the service that you should be fully advised OF the
reasons why the executive arrived at this decision,
thus:-France Is for the moment in arms over the
whole territory, portion or which is occupied
by the armies Of an enemy. All the able-bodied men
Of the French nation are In the field, either scat.
tered In the regiments OF the regular army mus
tered In separate corps or as volunteers In the
battallons Of the Francs tIreurs. In the world out
side the ranks OF the army the French electors
very great portion OF them at least, are far from
their homes and places OF regular residence. How,
then, could legal, peaceable election be possible
according to the franchise which regulates q uni
versal suffrage?
The federal government earnestly desires the cleo.
tion OF a parliamentary Constituent Assembly the
deliberations OF which would contribute to smooth
away our present difficulties and tend toward the
attainment Of general paci1cation-a result whcn
never ceased to be ardent wish TO realize
The government OF national defence in Paris has
been unanimous in refusing the terms hitherto
offered by Prussia and we hope that the neutral
Pow ers, In their own interests in ours, will come
to the same conclusion and approve our course

Thanksgiving.

The President of the United States has
ISSUED the following proclamation !;
Whereas, it behooves q people, sensible
of their dependence on the Almighty,
publicly and collectively, to acknowledge
their gratitude for His favors and mercies
and humbly to beseech for their continu-
ance; and whereas the people of the Unit
ed States, during the year about to end,
have special cause to be thankful for the
general prosperity, abundant harvests, ex-
emption from pestilence, foreign war and
civil strife;
Now, therefore, be il known that 1,
Ulysses s. Grant, President of the United
States, do hereby recommend to all citi-
zen to meet in their respective places of
worship on Thursday, the oath day of
November next, there to give thanks for
the bounty of God during the year about
to close, and supplicate for its c%Ontinu-
ance hereafter.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the Unit
ed States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington on this 2lst day of
October, in the year Of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy,
and of the independence of the United
States the ninety-irst. U. S. GRANT.

Not Well Considered,

1t is argued by some who are not really
Radical in principle, that Mr.. Maynard
onght to be returned to Congress because
by his great influence with the dominant
party he is able to do more for the inter.
e,ts of this District than any Consorva.
tive or Democrat could accomplish. His
failure to come up to any former expecta-
tions is entirely overlooked in this view
Of the case. No one denies that Mr.. May
nard has a certain influence in Congress,
Unlike the majority of Southern members
who go to Congress to legislate for North
orn capitalists and monopolists, he is a
man Of brain and Intelligence. He is not
led by the nose as most of the Southern
Representatives are. He works for New
England because he feels with New Eng
land. No wonder the protectionists and
monopolists value him, for he is their al
ly without money and without price He
asks no quid pro quo in the shape of fa-
y,rablo legislation for his Tennessee CON
stituents. There are a dozen Congressional
Districts in New England from which he
could be elected to a seat in Congress,
after the required residence. But that
would not suit him. There would not
he enough nationality about it. 1t is a
Liz thing not to have his usefulness cir
cumscribed by the limits of a single Con-
gressional District. He prefers to work
for New England, and at the same time
to amuse'TBinseIf by making the people of
Lis District believe that he is working for
them. .n .' .ru D.. H.. .I. bod asas-i
But, admitting that Nj. Maynard might
be able to do more for his constituents,
were he SO disposed, with the present Rad
zeal Congress than a Democratic member,
those Il sustain him Un that ground are
lending their aid to keep that Congress
Radical, which is, perhaps, very far from
their desire. Everything goes to show
that the political parties of the country
are in a transition state. If the efforts of
the National Democratic party Of the
North and West are seconded by the Con-
,eryatiyes and Democrats of the South,
the present Radical majority will be al
most if not entirely overcome in the For
ty-Second Congress, The sooner that is
done the better it will be for the, whole
country, but those who, on any ground,
support Mr.. Maynard, are doing all they
eau to defer such a result.

Encouraging

The Philadelphia Age says that in two
of the three great States which voted on
the 18th instant the Democrats have a
majority of the popular vote. This is
certainly encouraging. The Democratic
vote is steadily increasing, and that of the
Radicals diminishing. Without the ne
gro vote, the Radical support would be
wholly insufficient to keep them in power
in the North. In Pennsylvania they are
badly beaten on the popular vote, despite
the whole negro strength, while Ohio,
which in 1868 gave one hundred thousand
Radical majority, now gives less than
fifteen thousand, and Indiana, which used
to be good for twenty tho usand, now gives
a Democratic majority. The Democrats
had more members of Congress in 1866
than in 1864; more in 1868 than in 1866,
and they will elect still more in 1870.
The tide is fairly turned, and if the Dem
ocrats are true to their great mission, they
will soon have power thrust upon them by
an aroused and indignant people.ia 9nibd

The Inference.

The radical party is the party of false
pretences heavy taxes, whisky and rail
road rings monOpOlists, bribery and cor
rpptiOp, Yenal legislation agitation and
nGtiknAl disturbance, and Of Federal in
reference in the affairs of the Strtes.
The democratic party, -oa-Ahs--Other
hand, is the party of honesty, equitable
and decreasing taxes, national prosperity,
honor and security, honest legislation, OPP
position to all forms. Of monopoly, free
trade, national peace and reform, and of
the Constitution.

Reduced Taxes.

Great efforts are being made by the
Radical leaders to induce the people to
boiieye that Grants administration has
been one of retrenchment and reform, and
to mislead them in regard to the reduc-
ton of taxes made by the present Con-
eress. Senator Wilson, Of Massachusetts,,
has claimad that the reduction amounts
to $4,000, GOO. Hon. James Brooks, of
New York says that these figures are too
high by $4,000, 900, but that the roduc-
tiou should have been at least $lO0, OOO,-
Gao, as that amount has been collected
for two years past over the necessary ex-
pHnses Of the Government. The Demo-
cratic party labored to secure this reduce
ton. As the Radical Congress has made
it, Massachusetts, gets rid of $4,728,449
IN gross receipts, sales, legacics, &C., or
more than twelve Southern States togeth-
cr are beacftted. While the working
men of the South get no comparative
heneft from the reduction, neither do
those Of the Western States, for Mr..
Brooks statement shows that Massachu-
sqtts receives more benefit therefrom
than seven WesternlStates together.
