terday that be recognizes the Republic: ~,
PARIS, July l0.-The Committee OF Thirty
on constitutional Bills held an important sit
ting to-day NJ Fourtou, Miuister Of the ln-
terror, appeared and presented the views OF the
Government. He said the Government would
accept the bill drawn up by the committee,
which provides for a continuance OF the title OF
President of the Republic for the creation OF a
second Chamber, aud for the organization OF
personal septennate, to terminate with the eX-
priration of MacMahop's seven years term, OF
sooner, in case of his resignation or death. 6us
| it was desirable that certain provisions which
required immediate action should be embodied
in a separate measure for specdier passage by
the Assembly, and NJ Fourtou specified them
as follows:
First Deputies should be elected for sepa
rate ACCOMPLISHMENTS instead of departments,
for it was necessary to keep in mind the posi-,
biity of dissolution of the Assembly.
Secoud. In the creation of a second Chamber
the Government especially wished the Presl-
dent should be empowered to nominate con-
siderable proportion of its mem bers.
Third. The Government insists that power
be given the President to dissolve the Lower
| Chamber, but as the manner of appointment
of members of the Upper House Is not decided
upon, 1t cannot say whether power should be
exercised with or without the CO operation OF
the latter.
NJ. Fourtou, in conversation, remarked that
the Government was not DESTROYS of interfering
with the duty of the Assembly in framing a
constitution, but merely pointed out what ii
considered an essential point. Full expression
would be given to its opinions in debate when
the subject came before the Assembly.
| The LegltimiSts arc irrltated by the Presl
dents message, and have resolved to oppose
the personal septennate.
A GOOD STEp.-Several days ago, Amos
Moore, residing near this place, aged 81 years,
having missed the train at TimbervilIe deter.
mined not to be defeated 10 his resolution to
reach home that day, brought into requsition
bis lever power, and walked the distance Of
miles, 10 about two hours, with considerable
ease to himself We saw him on his arrival -;
| he did not appear fatigued. Is not the old
time muscle better and more elastic than that
of the modern day? Boys Is Of years, 10 this
fast age, would regard it as an extraordinary
feat to walk miles to church on holiday

DISTRESSING DEArH-The CbarlestowD,

'On Thursday afternoon little Walter, aged
nearly four years, oldest child and only son OF

around at the blacksmith shop, where his faith

water, which had been used for cooling tires,
and was so badly scalded that after lingering

relieved by death.
CUTTING AFFAIR.-There was personal al
tercatioD at Rogers shop, some miles from Or
ange Courthouse, between man named Lee
and VIM. A. Jones, on Monday. 1t seems that
Jones, who is dangerous man, was drunk,
and wantonly destroyed some eggs in the shop
owned by Lee. This led to the difficulty, and
Jones was very badly cut in several places, the
lungs being perforated once or twice by the
knife of Lee.

What is said by the physicians to be an un-
doubted case of cholera is reported from New
York, but the circumstances prove it to have
