Chandler and His Letter.

statement that his letter did not contain proof
Of the serious imputations against the Prcsi.
dent as to the bargain with the South by which
he stepped toto Office, Mr.. Chandler said be
thought he had made very plain and direct
statements indeed, and he fes 20 doubt what
ever that unless answered they would carry
conviction wherever they were candidy coosld.
ed. His attention being called to published
statement that if he chose to reveal what he
knew concerning the count 10 Florida. Mr..
Hayes would forfeit his seat, Mr.. Chandler
said that that statement was entirely without
authority. The vote 10 Florida, he said, was
just as fairly cast for Hayes as was that of Mas.
sachusetts. only by smaller majority. 1t was
we'll known, he said, that he was resident 10
Florida at the time and knows whereof he
speaks. Referring to the other suggestions
thrown out that he was keeping good deal 10

ciety from clerical entertainments
The Paris Temps says that when tho Cabinet
discussed the Limoges affair President Mac.
Mahon warmly repudiated having ever contem.
plated coup d'etat aud declared that, as far
as he was aware, nothing was intended beyond
precautions against armed resistance, which
some newspapers threatened, should the Gov
erpment have demanded dissolution.
Nj. Leon Gambetta is expected at Rome to
hold conference with the new Italian Ministry
on the policy toward the Vatican and 10 regard
to the Eastern question.
A dispatch to the London Post from Buoh-
Arrest states that the reinforcements ordered for
the Russian army exceed $4,000 men. The
army of the Baltic. numbering 10000 men, is
also being formed. Russia has bought 200, 900
rifles in Berlin.
The relations between France and Germany
are now said TO be very satisfactory. Emperor
William seems to have approved of the com.
merctal plans of Prince Bismark.

PEACE NEGOTLATIoNs-lt is officially an.
nounccd that the Sultan has solicited the Brit
ish Government to approach the Gar with
view to bring about negotiations for peace, and
the British Government has consented to do so.
The London Post says the duty which England
has undertaken is not embarrassed by any basis
for the settlement of the war, and Involves
nothing more than to test the willingness OF
Russia to coter into negotiations, the terms OF
peace being matter for subsequent considera'
ton. NJ. WaddiugtoD, French Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, thinks that Franc, may preserve puro'
~ expgctaGt attitude until the bclligerents have
opened negotiations, and when her opinion is
asked SHE will giSc it. NJ. Waddiugton does
not hesitate to say at once that France could
not regard with indifference any changes in the
Mediterranean or the agitation OF small! sur
rounding States by Questions which might be
raised 10 connection with the purely Eastern
question. France, he says, is disintereSted rel.
tive to the Asiatic question, and even ia regard
to the reorganization of Turkeys European
Provinces. She has no alliances or engagements
and does not seek them.
