THE COUNT or PARIS AND GENERAL
BEAUREGARD.

It is a matter OF notoriety that the
Count Of Paris, prince OF the house
OF Orleans. who certainly did not dis
tinguish himself during the .'late un-
pleasantness, while aiding and abet-
ting the stronger against the weaker
side, has written very prejudiced and
not altogether truthful or correct his
tory OF the war. During the course Of
his historical meanderings, he has hap
pened to aim an unfair blow at General
Beauregard, who thus rebukes him un-
der color OF a letter Of thanks to Mr.. H.
vignaud, Of the Echo newspaper, which
we reproduce from the Bee:
NEW ORLEANS, June 21, 1876.
Mr.. Henri vignaud. ONCE Of the Echo. Paris.
Dear Sri beg leave to express my
thanks for the Complimentary article
which you were SO kind as to favor me
with In the Echo OF 25th or 29th Of May
last. 1 hope that circumstances will
permit me, at some future day, to thank
you personally.

Paris. I did not expect to be made the
butt OF invidious andsbitter attacks.

ly to historical truth.
A descendant OF those sons OF France,
glorious pioneers OF European civiliza-
tion In the New World, who, In the
eighteenth century, have reflected honor
both Oh their native France and their
adopted Louisiana. / believe myself
worthy, at least, OF sympathy from all
true French hearts.
It is possible, however, that the Count
Of Paris may have been informed, that
on my last visit to France In 1866, inn
mediateiy after the close OF our late un-
fortunate war, ] did not refrain from
throwing blame upon the princes Of the
house of Orleans. fer their unealled for
immixture In our family quarrel. ]
have especially censured them for hav-
ing abandoned Gen. Mcclellan ut Harri-
son Landing. Virginia, at the time OF
his greatest disasters, thereby showing
o lack Of courage and constancy alto
getber unworthy OF French princes.
What ! have said then, / believe now,
and / am Of opinion that, In point of
honor, the Count OF Paris had more to
gain by keeping silent concerning our
fratricidal war than by writing u history
equally unjust and incorrect.
Believe me, sir, etc.,

Judging by what has reached us in the
way OF news concerning the feeling OF
the delegates who will sit in convention
tomorrow In this city, we see that the
DEMOCRATS article OF yesterday has had
its effect, and that there Is little or no
talk to-day about Mr.. Williamson 3
nomination. We showed that it was
impossible for the Radicals to elect Mr..
Williamson, and we can do as much for
every possible candidate they can
rake up.

Were there no other incentive to
supreme exertion on the part Of our
people to regain control of our State
government, the hope Of being able to
rid ourselves Of the vile mon who dis
grace the judicial ermine should inspire
ms. one and all, to unremitting exertion.
These Judges are as thorough paced

placed them on the bench to subs1rve
their wicked purposes, and, II possible,
they are exerting more blighting in
duence upon the prosperity Of our peo-
pie and the welfare Of the State than
have either Warmoth or Kellogg and
their horde Of political knaves. One
hundred and ttcenty cases disposed of In
fire days is fact that must perpetuate
the fame OF these judges as prodigies Of
genius or examples Of imbecility unpar-
Alleled In judicial history. This single
fact Is the nlultum IN paru0 which tells
the whole story Of these judges, their
loyalty to conscience. their respect for

temple Of Justice. It also shows in
what estimate their opinions should be
held by the legal profession.

NTIlk In The C0cOanut.

A very nctable expression occurs in the
Republican, 1t asks: 4" In the name of de-
cency how any set Of men, claiming to be
honorable and just, can lend themselves TO
an act of such gross injustice as the proseca-
ton crimindHy Of Dr. Aole,a, an inirm old
man, tottering on the verge Of the grave, &c. !"
This is noteworthy and surprising deliver
rance in view of all that has gone before.
To this complexion, gentlemen, has it
come, at last that the attempts to capture
the offices OF Dis rict Attorney and Marshal
are thus explained? Mr.. Fisher and Mr..
Hoffecier, tho Republican, by inference
says, acoUld not be guilty of tho "gross in-
justice" of prosecuting DIR. Nolen. but MIR.
Spruance would. Hence all the fuss, Gis-
turbarce, clamor, and bitterness that came
out Of the clouds against Mr. Higgins, and,
later, against Mr. Spruance
One remark remains to be made-that
t is intimation against Mr. Hoffecker by
tho Republican, is gross attack ON him
He should make it take him oatof that poti

Fire in Philadelphia.

The WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH ooMPANY's
BUILDING IN FLAMEs.
PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-At half pact
twelve o'clock this morning the operators of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
at the southeast corner Of Third and Chest
nut streets, noticed tie reflection of fire
on the building opposite. Investigation
showed that tho cGpols OIL the top
of the building, through which all
Of the wires of the company pass into the
operating rooms, was on fire. The alarm
was at once given, and the American Dis
trict Telegraph Company furnished a fire
extiuquisher, but tlis proved of no avail,
the dry, and woll.seaeoned wood burning
furiously. Upon the arrival of the Fire De-
partment a line OF hose was run up and
the flames coon extinguished. The fire ori-
ginated in the battery-room situated i'm
mediately beneath the cupola, and the loss
il principally from water, the whole build
ing being completely flooded. The wires
were damaged, and connection severed,
causing the Associated Press TO depend
upon the Atlantic and Pacific Ccmpary's
wires for important dispatcher.

BARABoo, Wis, July 19-Reports of the
terrible heat in Wilmington and Philadel-
phia recalled to mind personal experience
in the same line during my residence in the
East. Every section Of this Great Republic
has it's advantages and disadvantages.
Here, with the exception of perhaps five or
six days, (rhat would have been considered
delightful in your city,) the weather has
been cool and pleasant. Last night a
blanket was needed for comfort, and at 10,
on the 14th the mercury stood ut 81 III the

glens and gorges hidden away among the
primitive forests of the Baraboo bluffs, the
chief feature of the landscape is Devils
Lake. distant about three miles from the
village. commodious hotel is situated on
its shore, being of easy access by carriage
or rail. The lake is about one and a half
miles long, by half mile wide.

The nomination of Hayes gave general

THE eufrIY AaD PRICES COMPARED WITH
LAST YEAR.
The coal dealers are busy filing tLeir bins
and yards, for winter use. The trade is
more steady than at the same season last
wear. At that time the manufactures were
in operation. but were late in commencing
this year, business, though dull, has been
more uniform and free from excitement.
Coal is twenty-five cents a ton cheaper now
than at the same period last year.
The great corporations, however, have
made an advance of ten cents a ton on
prices during July, and will clap on fifteen
cents more at the first of August.
The retail dealers have made no advance
during July, but at the first Of August will
advance twenty five cents ton to keep
pace with the wholesale trade. Under
these circumstances, brisk trade is going
on. Persons who are able to take advan-
tage OF the chance and save twenty five
cents ton are laying away their winter
coal duliag this month. Stove coal is now
retailing at SC so and chestnut at Sc 10.
