VERSAILLES, Sept. 1S-At sitting of the
permanent committee of the Assembly, last
evening, M. Tirard of the Left interpellated
the government concerning the continuance of
its rigorous treatment of the press. He de-
clared the system intolerable, aud unequal in
its application. Republican journals alone
were suspended. He protested against the re-
cent warning addressed to the Journal Des De-
bat.
M. Chausband la Tour, Minister of the Inte-
rior, replied that the government was deter
mined to oppose the calumnles against the ma
jority of the Assembly aud the government.
Viscount d Abaville of the Right interposed
protest against the suspension of Il Univers,
which act. he intimated, came from foreign
dctation.

Amoassauor wa9-atin unaccredited when the OBJ
Jectionaole article agalnse Serrano was publish

SHOOTING AFFAIR.--Yesterday afternoon
about four clock, Spaniard named Felix
Junco called at the house of Benjamin Stew
art, the colored clothes cleaner, on the corner
of India and Fore streets, and called for his
trunk, which Stewart was retaining until Junco
paid board bill he had contracted some time
since. He was told that he could not have the
trunk until he paid the bill, whereupon the
Spaniard put his hand into his pocket and was
about to draw razor when Stewart caught his
hand and took the weapon away FROM him. AT
this the Spaniard left, but soon returned with
revolver and began to fire at Stewart, who
managed to evade the shots. After firing four
shots, the Spaniard left. Officers Rich and
Gribbin arrived soon after and went to his
house on Newbury street, where he was arrest
ed. When the officers entered the room Junco
sprang for his revolver and attempted to shoot
them.
One of the shots fired at Stewart struck the
side of a horse car that was passing and very
narrowly escaped hitting lady That was riding
in the car.
Another struck man named Andrew Nc
Glnchy in the foot, hurting it slightly.
AsJunco is unable to speak word of Eng
fish, it was impossible for our reporters to in
view him, but by the poltsness of II. l. Rob-
lnson, Esq..,who acted as interpreter, we are
able to give his version of the affair, which is
something as follows:
My name is Felix Junco was born slave in
Matanzas. Some time since 1 was liberated,
but was Immediately drafted, and to avoid SER
vice in the army L shipped on vessel and came
to this port On arriving here 1 wished to 60
to New York, to get work at my trade. am
mechanic by trade. 1 was met here by Stew
art who told me he would let me live with him.
had quite a sum of money and gave it to
Stewart to keep for me. After I had been
there awhile he told me to leave. I did not
know any one and did not know where to 90,
but at last founda place to stop at John PARIS.
My letters had all been addressed in care of
Stewart and to-day when 1 went there found
that he had opened the letters and taken mon
ey from them. then asked to see my trunk,
as there was some things in it that wished to
get, but he refused and drove me out of the
house. 1 got mad and went for my revolver.
He is a smart appearing young man and
talks very good Spanish. Mr.. Robinson thinks
he has been very mnch abused. He has wife
in Matanzas.

DisaffcctiOn mt Tide ms Nomination.
NEW YORK. Sept. 18.-The Tribune cores
pondent says one-third of the delegates to the
Democratic Convention at Syracuse went to
their homes disguised, and the rest disheart-
ened and there is likely to be a serious mutiny
among the crew during the campaign. 1.-The
nominee for governor cannot receive more than
open or covert opposition Of the party in the
middle and western portion of the State.
Under these circumstances victorious cam
paign is not anticipated with much confidence,
and few delegates outside of Mr.. Tilden's in
innate personal friends express any hopes of it
unless they are talking of buncombe. Many
are scarcely less dissatisfied with the second
name on the ticket than with the first Not
they have any objections to Mr.. Bors heimer
personally or to his capacity and fitness for the
Office of Lieutenant Governor, but they say his
nomination was simply bid for the Liberal
Republican support of the ticket, without any
guaranty that it will be forthcoming.
Tennessee Republican Convention.
The Tennessee Republican Convention nomi-
mated Hon. Horace Maynard for Governor by
reclamation. The resolutions re-affirm tie
national Republican platform of 1872 The
resolution on civil rights is as follows:
The third resolution reads: "We are in favor
OF the full and equal enjoyment of accommoda-
tons, advantages, rights and privileges by all
citizens and other persons within the jurlsdc-
tion of the United States, without regard to
race, creed or color, and at the same time We
deem it unnecessary and unwSe to attempt,
by Congressional legislation or otherwise, to
co npel as between such races, creeds or coors
the joint exercises of such accommodations,
advantages, rights or privileges.
Mr.. Maynard accepted the nomination in q
speech in which he said he would make
thorough canvass of the State.
