10 do so. y congress under the distinct and eX-
elusive patronage OF Russia would have con

PASS, July 22-President MacMahon, in a re-
Spouse TO a deputaiou of members OF the Assembly,
who waited upon him to-day, said he was not sum
moRed to power in order 10 restore either q mo-
uarcby OF an empire. His acts proved to all that
be would not participate 10 such an enterprise.
The law which created the Septennate SuN less
imposed upon him the task OF constituting u deh-
mite Republic. NJ. Perriers bail offered him moth
ing. but by isslating him from the Conservatives,
by whose aid he wished 10 govern, would deprive
him OF much counsel consequently Ministers would
declare in his name that he rejected the project
In conclusion, be expressed the opinion that q
proclamation OF the Republic might disturb order
and peace but If the laws he asked for were voted
the Septennat would become a movement calcu-
lated to inspire confidence and respect
LoNpoN. July 23-The Lord Mayor gave q ban
Duet tonight TO her Majesty's Ministers at the
Mansion House. Disraeli, in answer to the Minis
try, said eNo one was able to view the state Of
Europe with complacency. Every one must
deplore the anarcbical condition Of some of the
most favored countries. The friendship OF England
was never more sought for By the leading powers
of Europe and America. England would use her
influence in the interests of peace" Disraeli
repudlated the principle that the country was not
to be held responsible in many questions which
might arise abroad affecting the future, while he
believed the influence OF England might now be
most edectually exercised to reconcile discordant
and distrustfui interests. She might assist dis,
tracted countries with sympathy and counsel, and
resume a position worthy of her former prestige.
The London Times says it is reported that the
German Government is strenuously endeavoring
to prevent supplies OF arms and money from gong
to the Carlists, and has called the attention OF the
French Government to the subject.
Papers of Cuenca announce the discovery OF
the mutiIated bodies of thirty Republicans who
were murdered by Carlists. and their bodies
secreted in a house in that town.
The North German Gazette says, in reference to
the recent outrages by Carlists, that Germany IN
behalf of outraged European civilization, will seek
and find means to teach the Carlists that the muir
der of captured Germans shall not remain I'M
punished.
RoCHEFoRr IN LoSDoN.--NEw YORK, July as
The London correspondent of the Tribune says
Rochefort is still in London, which he has never
quilted since his arrival. The report of his going
to Geneva was set a6oat for the benefit OF bis
enemies. London is probably a safer place Tor
him than any continental city, and more con-
venient for most purposes than any, except Brus-
sells, but the latter is out OF the question.
THE GRANT To PRINCE LEOPOLD, OF ENGLAND
LoNDoN, July 23.--In the House of Commons this
evening, Disraeli moved an annual grant OF $75,-
O6O to Prince Leopold, and spoke eulogistically OF
his mental attainments. Gladstone seconded the
motion. TAYLOR, from Leicestershire, made a
speech protesting against the grant. The motion
was carried, however, almost unanimously.
I Recent Geographic dispatches seem to indicate
that the threatened Indian war-cloud is breaking
in more places than one. In Texas,
Kansas, and in the country along our northern
border in Dakota, bodies of Indians have appeared
on the war-path during the present month. In
Wyoming Territory citizens have been fired upon
by small squads Of Indians, and in one or two in
stances captured, scalped, and otherwise horribly
mutilated. In the early part of the month an attack
was openly made by the Sioux on the northern set
Element of st. Joseph, near the Canadian boundary
line. 1t is estimated that Z, 1000 Sioux are operating
over a large area of country in that vicinity.
Notwithstanding the great Hood in the Mississippi
Valley in the Spring. the New Orleans Times estl-
mates that the sugar and rice crops will be abund-
ant, the latter yielding $4,000 barrels more than in
1873. In sugar. the losses by floods will be about
10, 900 hogsheads, and the total yield from 10000
to 100, 900 hogsheads. The acreage devoted to
rice culture shows an increase Of 5000 acres over
last year, and the rice crop is expected to be no.
900 barrels.
Storms and foods with loss Of life are reported
from various parts Of the United States and Europe
and the weather has been quite abnormal this sum
mer-owing, it is believed by the unscientidc, to
the visit Of the comet.
TLo Doeehsr-TntUu SCANDAL continues TO oil
columns in the New York papers, to the disgust oi
all p%ure-minded people, and to the decentralization
of society at large. Sides are taken as to the gull
or innocence Of Beecher; meanwhile his wife says
IL all the women In creation would swear that
Beecher had been unfaitbful, / would not believe
them"
