President Of the Republic Of France:
DEAR SIR AS an ardent admirer
Of the principle and truths of Repub-

with struggling France in her noble
efforts to reconstruct her government
upon the sure foundations of liberty,
fraternity, and equality, permit me, ut
this particular period of her history,
to present her, through you, with an

MAY derive from it such an inspiration
as shall lead them not only to erect
for themselves and their children, and
their children's children, republic
whose dignity, justice, and purity shall
be the admiration Of our age, but one
also, which shall prove to other ma

most perfect model in securing to their
peoples those equal rights and liber-
ties which ncw are yours and which
form the inheritance of the race, both
by the laws of equity and the laws Of
nature, which are the laws of God

that frogs and toads are sometimes

A Rain Of Frogs iii ArizOha.--
Story OF an Eyewitness.
From the Philadelphia North American
The phenom familiarly known
as the rain Of frogs has been ridicul-
ed and contradicted by certain scien-
tists; nevertheless there is abundant
proof to show that it has occurred and
probably will again. In 1864 the wri-
ter. in company with some fifty other
travellers, had personal experience Of
the fact. We were in Arizona, not
less than twenty miles from any stream,
pond or water. The day was extreme
ly sultrv, and We had halted to let tho
animals Craze and rest for an hour or
two. Not a living thing besides our
selves and horses was IN 81 ght, and
certainly no frogs were hopping over
the rich, tufted gramma grass, which
covered the ground for miles in every
direction, Suddenly dense, black
cloud began to discharge copious
rain upon our unsheltcrcd heads. The
drops were very large and the water
quite warm. Nearly every person
wore broad brimmed felt hat, which
proved a great protection against tho
rain as well as against the sun. Our
was soon arrested by the
rel,ing Of something which truck our

The BAPTIST Convention.

The Convention called for the purpose
of considering the propriety of organizing
a new Association in that portion of the
territory embraced in the Tennes see Asso-
citation lying west of line running from
Beaver Dam to Tuckaleechy Cove, met at
Mars Hill, Knox county, July 2Sth, 1871.
The Introductory sermon was delivered
by Rev. J. V. Iddins, from Psalms 81, xi.
The Convention was then called to order
by DR.. Breaker, and upon his motion, Rev.
:. II. Smith was chosen Moderator and G.
w. Brewer Secretary.
A roll of churches and delegates was
then made, embracing fifteen churches and
thirty delegates.
An invitation was extended to brethren
present not delegates to seats in the Con-
VentiOn, which was accepted by all thus
invited,
Byrequest of the Moderator, DR.. Breaker
gave a concise account of the origin and
progress of the discussion, which had led
to this meeting, giving the arguments on
both sides as presented in the East Ten
nessee department Of the Christian Herald,
of which he is the editor, and making a
clear statement Of the object of the Con-
vention.
Remarks were offered by several dele
gates, after which, on motion, a committee
was appointed to prepare asuitable address
to the churches on the subject.
After short absence, the committee re-
ported a circular letter to be issued under
the hand of the Secretary stating that it
was the opinion of the Convention that the
new association ought to be formed, and
recommending the churches in the terri
tory described to apply to the Tennessee
Association for letters of dismission, and
to meet at -- on Saturday before the Sd
Sunday in OctOber-fourteenth day-for
the purpose Of organizing said Association,
which was adopted by avote of thirty-sight
to two.
On motion the Secretary was instructed
to fill the blank with the name of any
church who may invite the meeting.
The business for which the Convention
had assembled being completed the Con-
vention adjourned sine die.

MORE LIGHT"

The Press and Herald, a medium through
which much extraordinary light reaches
these benighted regions, is disposed to treat
with levity the corruption of the New
York city government. 1t treats the ex-
posures that are now being made through
the Times, Tribune and other Republican
journals in that city, as an evidence OF
Radical greediness." 1t virtually justiles
the stealings of Tammanny 'by the thous-
andn and the ground as itsays. that "steal-
ingsn have gone into Radical vaults by
the million" 1t thinks it hardly fair that
the National gluttOns should be so eager
to devour the feast of the New York city
guardians" This mode Ofreasoning must
sound queer to honest men. Revelations
are being made, showing q state of corrup-
ton and extravaganza in the municipal
government.of New York unparalleled in
thiscountry. \ corruptring collects heavy
taxes from the peOple-apprOpriate large
sums of money TO their own selfish use in
the most unblushing manner, and refuse
to make any report, showing to what use
the hard earnings Of taxpayers is being
put.
ARepublican journal, with fearlessness
and energy which makes its name house
hold word wherever honesty is respected,
goes about exposing this corruption. Other
Republican journals second its efforts.
Because the exposure comes from a Re
publican source, the Press and Herald
would have the people believe that Rad
ical greediness " is the motive that brings
it about, and because, forsooth, it is that
way, it is just as well to let these New
York thieves keep their hands in the pub
lie treasury of the city. This is a brilliant
and extraordinary light which flashes from
the Iuminary of the Press and Herald of
flee. We accord that journal credit for
much originality in this matter

tiers into such a shape as that the question
of States rights should be forever settled,
it is something terrible. The Republican
party is opposed to the doctrine, of States
rights. If that is Capitalization, we are
decidedly for it, and do not expect TO
be any other way. The people are for
it. They believe the question settled.
Nine-tenths of them will admit, and
they believe with all their hearts, that the
spirit of the Constitution is, that the
States are subordinate to the General Gov
erment. Democratic politicians, who would
frighten the American people into submits
sion to their views by such stuff as this,
must have very poor opinion Of their in
telligence.

THE Montgomery advertiser is amazed
sorrowful and indignant at the manner in
which the mean Radicals" have been
treating the Arizonian Indians. There
has been an Indian massacre far beyond
the borders of civilization, which was not
prevented by the commander of United
States troops at a fort near by, and Presi-
dent Grant, though he is between two and
three thousand miles away, is to be held
responsible for it. Judging men in that
light, we would like to know what judy

THEY are enjoying a sensation at Ger

house near that place, and the thing man
ifests itself by breaking crockery, up
turning soap and lard cans, splitting milk,
jerking bed clothes from the beds and
sending pots, skillets and other kitchen
ware in unnatural gyrations around the
room. \ correspondent of the Cincinnati

convincing the skeptical.

WE have before us the Irish World, of
July 10Th, sent us by kind friend i'll the
country, who, like thousands of others,
has endorsed the course taken by the
CHRONICLE in reference to the New York
mob and its instigatOrs. 1t is full of gall
and bitterness to every one who showed
the Orangemen the least degree of sympa-
thy. Speaking of Harper'S Weekly, made
famous by the pencil of Mast, which has
50 graphically portrayed some of the excl
ting features of that disgraceful disturb
ance, it uses the following choice lam
guage:
" The vilanous lies and outrageous carrica-
lures in Harper'S Weekly and Frank Leslie of
last week, should secure the disgust of all who
would avoid the society of blackguards"
The Harpers and Frank Leslie will no.

j his memory"
And again:
Poor Mr. Hoffman fought his last battle and
got beaten. He thought at first, he had gained
