WHOLE NUMBER 1906.

The official journal o. the insurgents says:
The central republican committee, unable
to come to an understanding with the
mayors. are compelled to proceed with the
elections without their cooperation. The
elections are postponed until tomorrow,
when they viii be held under the superin
tendency OF the electoral committee APP
pointed by the central republican com
mittee.
The commander OF the national guards
has appointed kaoul DuhoiS>on chief of the
general staff: Colonel Nalegrannc com
mandant Of the Hotel de Vile: and Colonel
Dardelle commandment of the Tuleries
An editorial III the same paper seeks to
prove that the assembly now sitting ut Yer
saiiles is legally incomplete. on the ground
that the election of some of its members
was vitiatcd by foreign occupation and
pressure. The chamber is described as n
narrow minded executive.
The same paper says: ''On Paris de
wolves the duty of compelling respect for
the sovereignty of the people, who must
see that Paris is nOt separated from the
provinces and that the provinces are not
separated from each other She must be
the capital of France. 1t is unqueStionably
her right 10 proceed with rcctions.'
The central republican committee has
taken Il wise and Indispensable measure to
prepare for the establishment of common
councils and for the election of all CHIEF
officers of the national guard by the mem-
hers.
A paragraph also appears in the iusurgent
organ. under the title of "a vertisselnent.

meeting of the editors of the Paris press,
published in several journals yesterday, as
a direct provocation to the disobedence OF

Warning is given that while the central
republican committee intends to respect
the liberty of the press. it is determined to
nave the secession OF the people respected,
and will permit no ncitement to disobe-
dience. a repetition of the otfense will be
severely punished.

Fish. Sumner and san Domingo.
a Washington specia! of Sunday. to tn
ST ouis IloLann,ut saYS:

Washington specia! OF Shnday to the
st. Louis Dfmoct0t, says:
The political community here has been
much excited today over what purpOrts to
be the true story OF the difficulty between
the Secretary of State and Senator Sumner,
Published in the Capttoi. the new Sunday
paper of Washington. The story is prob
ably true in its essential features. and
these are its chict points:
THE TRUE STORY.
In the first week in June last Mr.. Fish
visited Mr. Sumner i'll the evening, and
after urging him with arguments, until after
midnight. TO cease his opposition to the San
Domingo scheme. finally SAID TO him that ii
he cotld not cease his opposition as a Sena-
tor he could at least quit the Senate and no
longer stand in the way OF the Presidents
policy.
He then offered him the English mission
AS an nducelrent to leave the Senate.
sumner, surprised at this proposition to
purchase his silence, replied i'll effect that We
had now the best man We could get AT
the court Of St. james. and no change was
desired
Nh Fish left the place bated and NOR
titled MeSsrs. Sumner and Fish. however,
kept 40 their usual courteous association.
Mr.. Sumner being willing to overlook the
mistaken zeal of an old friend, until the
Morton letter was given out, when Mr.. Fish
ceased visiting Mr. Sumner until he had
sent Senator Patterson to ascertain whether
he would be we'll received.
Mr.. Sumner replied through MIR. Patter-
son. that he would see Mr.. Fish at the State
Department, at the Senate. or at the house
OF either, freely, fully. Al any time on public
business but he added. tell him that
feel he has done me Il cruel wrong.
Atterward Mr.. Fish visited Mr.. Sumner,
in company with Sir john Rose, when the
conferences preliminary to the new ne@otia-
tons on the Alabama business We're in
progress, ard Mr.. Summer eNertcd himself
to make the evening pass Pleasantly and
chcertuliv.
The narration proceeds as follows: But
after midnight when Fish had departed,
Mr.. Sumner. calmly sitting down in the
quiet of his library. resolved that his self
respect 'uld compel him to discriminate
between Fish the Secretary and Fish the
friend: therefore, when, some time after
ward, they met on a private occasion at
Hon. Robert Schcnck's. and late in the eve
ming Fish addressed i'll the presence of sonr,
ladies. coarse and frivolous remark about
duck and partridgcs to Mr.. sumner the
latter merely looked az him and made no
reply.
Then was formed the plot to have Sumner
removed from the craftsmanship of the Com
lnittee on Foreign Relations, of the success
OF which the country knows.

\ gentleman of Terrebonne parish lately
informed us that he had Il list OF seventeen
plantations in that parish which had been
leased to strangers since the war, all the

come into the hands of the sons of 'he
original owners: and these sons have most
of them pulled off their coats. rolled up
their sleeves, and pitched in, and are now
in d fair way to own these plantations at
period not distant. They have led off, re-
lying chiefly on their own industry and
economy and good calculations They have
selfreliance, which is much better than
reliance on advances by New Orleans mer-
