Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-11-10

PARIS, November S.-The thee bu.
reaux of assembly which deferred until
to-day naming their members of the
committee on the prolOngation of Presi.
dent MacMahOn's powers, have elected
Count DeRemusat, Leon Say and La.
b0ulaye-all members of the left. These
elections give the Republicans a major
ity of one in the committee. The re-
suit has caused a most intense excite
ment. 1t is said that the right, which,
on the opening Of the assembly, sub.
mittee a motion prolonging MacMa-
hons powers for ten years, has offered
as a cOmprimise to make the term five
yesrs. Leon Say, at the request of the
government, has consented to q post
ponement of the debate on his interpret
Iation for failure to order elections to fill
vacancies in the assembly.
Evening-All the ministers rendered
their resignation to MacMahOn this af-
terAoon, but he declined to accept them.
In the Bazaine eourt-martial to-day,
Marshals Corrabert and LebOuf and
General LAdmirault testified that
to their knowledge no dispatch
was received at Metz from Mar
shal MacMahon on the twenty
third of August. They also swore that
MacMahOn's advance was not alluded
to by Bazaine at the council of war, held
on the twenty-sixth of August.
First Stroke Of Tammany RediVfVus.
Police commissioner Charlick was ex-
PEELED from Tammany Hall, the other
night, on motion of John Morrissey, and
now commissioner Charlick has issued
an order to have all gambling-hOuses
and policy shops of the city closed up
Immediately, under pain of being dis
missed from the police department of
any captain who does not see that the
order is carried out to the letter. He
says that if the Tammany Hall general
committee wants reform in the city
now, they shall have it if the police de-
partment can give it to them. 1t was
expected that Tammany would, to-day,
formally prefer charges against Com
missioner Charlick and demand his re-
moval by Mayor Havemeyer. The al
legations are that great frauds
were committed in certain districts
where the commissioner had
a grudge to crafty; that inspectors of
election were changed when it was
thought necessary to defeat a candidate /;
that policemen were used before and on
the day of election to intimidate voters,
and that even street-sweepers were dis
missed from the employ OF the city
when it was thought they were friendly
to the obnoxious candidates. 1t is also
said that various charges are to be pre-
ferred against Observation-Disclosures
Matsell, in relation to his management
and alleged manipulations of election
nd hn 10 of aaaf
his purpose, is the curious phrase of this
fight. 1t is alleged that Commissioner
Charlick owes his position in the police
board to John MOrrissey, as he could not
have been confirmed without his con-
sent, and was only put in nomination
by the mayor after Morrissey had been
consulted by friend.
Excitement Among Cubans in New
York.
NEW YORK, November 9.-The Cuban
junta Of this city announces that they
will use all means possible to buy a ves-
sci to form an expedition to set out at
once for Cuba to take revenge for the ex-
ecution of the patriots seized on the

composed of Americans alone, to pro-
ceed to Cuba. Already two thousand
names have been put on the roll, many
of them old well-bred soldiers. A mass
meeting of Cubans will be held to-mor-
row evening to express their indigna-
ton at the acts of the Spanish authori-
ties. General Quesada is forming an
other expedition, and it is said
that over three thousand names
are enrolled, the majority being Cuban
exiles. The Cuban bureau is thronged
a greater part of the time. A mass
meeting of Cubans was held to-day,
with Hilario Cisneros, president OF the
Society ArnijOs de Cuba, in the chair.
Patriotic addresses were made and reso-
lutiOns adopted, calling for means to fit
out new expedition to the island. A
committee of three was appointed to So
licit aid throughout the city. Thirteen
thousand dollars have already been sub
scribed. The excitement among the
Cubans here is intense. The following
telegram was received by q promi-
nent Cuban in this city from
a gentleman in high standing in
Washington city.
WAsHINGToN, November 8, 1873.
A telegram Just arrived at the state
from Consul General Hall,
giving the whole account of the execu-
ton of the American citizens. He in
tends TO protest for his government
against the outrage committed by the
Spanish authorities in violation of the
law and of cur treaties
with Spain, and to demand an imedi-
ate reparatiOn. The state department
is reticent, but determined to obtain re-
dress. There is a very unfavorable feel
ing against Spain in official circles.

retary of the navy this evening tele-
graphed to Rear-Admiral Scott, COM
