FRANCE.

PARIS, October 3t.-GeneraI Dueral
has issued a proclamation to the troops
under his command exhOrting them to
remember that never were their duties
more imperiOus and sacred. An army
disciplined, educated and powerful in
numbers is needed to check the progress
of internal enemies, while protecting
the country from foreign foes The Cen
eral says, the time may come when
the Germans will regret the rending of
hearts and homes and tearing from
France her dearest children.
The Conservatives gave a banquet at
Bordeaux last night. Speeches strongly
favoring the restoration Of a monarchy
were made, and the hope expressed that
the day would come when toasts to the
health Of the King and Princes Of the
Royal family could be offered.
Count de GueydOn, GovernOr-General
Of Algeria, in a report to the President,
states that the number Of immigrants to
that colony during the last three months
was five thousand, and of these five
hundred were from Alsace and Lorraine.

WASHINGTON.
Five Millions Of the Green8ack Reserve
Issued Three Weeks Ago.


WASHINGTON, October 3l.--A tele-
gram was received here tonight from
New York giving a report prevalent
there to-day that the Treasury had issued
five additional millions OF greenbaeks.
1t can be stated with truth, and about
which there is no official coneealment,
that four or five millions Of the reserve
of forty-four millions, the issue OF
which the Treasury Department con-
elders is left to the discretion Of
the Secretary, was made use Of when
the Assistant Treasurer ut New York
was instructed to buy bonds and sell
gold apart from the usual monthly pro-
gramme. This was on the seventh OF
October, more than three weeks ago.
Since that time no further amount Of
of reserve has been used, nor is there the
least probabi that it will again soon
be drawn d "a The transaction to
which reference is made was to meet an
extraordinary contingency.
Rev. DR.. Z. c. Hines, Commissioner
to the International Penii sntiary Con-
gress, at London, this morning presented
to President Grant his preliminary re-
port, in which he says that this move
ment, inaugurated by the United States,
has proved q complete success, and is
destined to produce results as wide as
they will be beneiicent.

THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.
The Convention FlaseO - CampbelPs
Strength Before the People.
JAcksox. rExx., october 30, IS

JAikSONr AENNss OClQuGI uo A1s-.
EDITORS APPEAL-On Monday morn
ing last, about ten o'clock, the friends
of General Campbell in Jackson were
somewhat startled TO learn that a Demo-
cratic Convention, to nominate a candi-
date for Congress for this the Eighth
district, was to assemble at Humboldt
on Wednesday, the thirtieth, and that
calls had been issued in other counties
for the. assembling of primary meetings
to select delegates thereto.
Having heard nothing Of such move
before, and knowing that General Camp
bell had urged the calling Of a conven-
ton from every stump in the district, he
was telegraphed to know what he knew
about this proposed one, and answered
that he knew nothing.
InereupOn a circular address was IS
sued by Robert B. Hurt, as a member of
the Congressional Committee, 60 the
people of the county and their delegated
agents, who had been chosen in mass
meeting in August, our people never
doubling, then, but that our Executive
Committee would call a convention
urging them to action, and TO go to
Humboldt to-day 10 do their duty.
A large number did go, determined, If
they found the other counties of the dis
trict represented by delegates fairly
chosen, to make a nomination. We
found present a large number from Hay
wood, with the counties Of Weakly,
Lauderdale and Crockett represented by
duly accredited delegates, but none from
Gibson, Obion, Dyer or Lake.
After a proper organization was had, 8
resolution was offered by the Chairman
Of the Madison county delegation, that
owing to the absence Of representation
by the above four counties, il was mex
pedient to make any nomination, which
was stOutly resisted by Colonel w. p.
Caldwell and G. NJ Ewing, Esq, Of
Weakly county, and Louis T. Bond, Of
Haywood, Chairman of the Congress
sional Committee for this district, in
speeches, the logic Of which could only
be resisted by the strong desire evident
in every move that nothing even should
be done that savOred Of unfairness. Al
ter a full discussion the resolution pre-
vailed and the convention adjourned.
Although many went there from the
different counties impressed with the
belief that, unless some choice could be
reached, which would reduce the num-
Der Of candidates, there was danger Of
the success of the Radical nominee, the
strength Of Campbell in every part Of
the district, even in Gibson county,
when the convention Assem- bled, was so
evident that it was no longer feared.
