FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.


VERSAILLES. November 21.-The Depu-
ties, by vote Of 297 to 30, passed a motion,
introduced by NJ. Bethomont, to the effect
that in view of the doctrines enumerated by
Duke De Broglie yesterday, the Chamber.
being resolved TO maintain lis prerogatives
against cncroachment, adiourns the discus
sion on the validity OF the election OF NJ.
Relic, under-Secretary OF State ut the Min
istry Of the Interior, until the Electoral
Abuses Committee shall have reported on
his doings relative to official candidature.
M. Marion then urged that rs the Ministry
had resigned and no regular government cx-
listed the Chamber ought to adjourn. The
Chamber. notwithstanding the protests OF
the Right, agreed (233 to 23D to adjourn
until Thursday.
In Bureaux, NJ. Gambetta being asked
whether the Left would vote direct taxes,
at once replied that that depended on cir
cumstances. The BureauN have elected
the Budget Commissioners, and all its men,
bers belong to the Left. The attitude OF the
Chamber OF Deputies has created deep i'm
preston everywhere.
The France publishes the circulars Of the
Ministers Of Finance and Commerce, njoin=
ing their subordinatcs to assist the Electoral
Abuses Committee neither directly nor indi-
rectlv.
PARIS, November o1.-The RepujhQue
Francois declares that in view OF the SEN
ate's pretensions and the Presidents refu-
sal to change his policy, it becomes the clear
duty OF the Chamber OF Deputies to refuse to
vote the budget. The Chamber must save
the country. No budget must be voted as
long as the majority has not Ministry in
whom it can place confidence.
The Illness Paris correspondent, COM
menting on the latest list OF probable. Min
listers, says such Ministry must either re-
sign after its first encounter with the Cham
Der OF Deputies, or the Chamber must be
again dissolved. In the latter case verita-
bic coup d'ftdt is inevitable, rs another
Chamber could not be elected in time to
vote the budget, and the Government
would therefore have to collect taxes with
| out authorization.

the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. McMillan)
had tried to get it there, but no one voted
with him, and there could be no contestant
for Mr.. Eustis's seat unless, contrary to all
usage, the Senate should refer the Pinch
back case to the committee. He knew there
had been q communication from Pinchback
before the committee, but the chairman was
directed to notify him that he had no ere
dentials there, and his claim could not be
considered. He Or. HilD agreed with the
Senator from Delaware (Mr. Salisbury
that the committee could have disposed
of both the Eustis and Butler eases,
and still have made the progress it
had made in the Spofford-Kellogg case. lie
did not agree with the chairman OF the com
mittee (Mr. Wadleigh) that one case should
be settled before another was taken up. Was
it right that a gentleman whose credentials
were before the committee-whose seat was
not contested-should be compelled to lie
around this Senate chamber and this city Tor
months because q contested case happened
to have been taken up first? Was an I'M
litirated case to be postponed until litl-
GATED case could be disposed Of? The State
OF Louisiana had a right to be represented
on this floor, and it would be better to re-
iect Mr.. Eustis than to keep him waiting.
Louisiana thought she had elected a
senator, but the Senate said no. He
conceded to the senator's on the other
side a desire to do what was right,
but he differed with them in !udg-
ment. He was perfectly willing that this
South Carolina case should be settled upon
the facts contained in the brief Of Dir. Cor
bin. the contestant OF Mr. Butler. Both
| gentlemen agreed as to facts, but differed IN
| their conclusions and legal propositions.
The brief filed by Mr.. Corbin was frank,
manly statement OF facts. There was not
single legal proposition in the Corbin-Bnt,
Ter case which any senator would call a Oh.
ficult one, and it should be disposed OF
without delay.
NJ. Wadleigh, OF New Hampshire, said
the question OF what had been done OF
what should be done in the Eustis case
had nothing to do with the resolution nc,s
before the Senate. That case had been made
4 the uack-horse upon which to load charges
| against the Committee on Privileges and
] Elections. Mr.. Eustis had not asked to have
4 his case taken up by the committee. Ii
March last, when his credentials were re
i ferred to the committee, Mfr. Eustis request
ed that they should not be considered then
and he left for Louisiana on important per
sonal business. Had his case been consider
ed during his absence the Democratic sena
tors would have raised the cry that gros
Injustice was done him. He repeated tina
the kelogg-Spotford case would soon D.

THE STORY OF a RosE.-A rose with
so pretty story, and so full of romance
hs this, ought to be beautiful, and SO is
the Cherokee rose. Here is the story Of
it:
"An Indian chief Of the Seminole tribe
was taken prisoner by his enemies, the
Cherokoes, and doomed to torture, but
fell so seriously i'll that it became ncces-
sary to wait for restoration to health be-
fore committing him TO fire. And as he
lay prostrated by disease, in the cabin of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the
latter, young darkfaccd maid, was his
nurse. She fell in love with the young
chieftain, and, wishing to save his litc'
urged him to escape. But he would not
do so unless she would fee with him.
She consented. Yet, before they had
gone far, impeled by soft regret at leav-
ing home, she asked permission Of her
lover to return for the purpose Of bearing
away some memento Of it. SO, retracing
her footsteps, she broke sprig from the
white rose which cimed up the poles of
her fathers tent, and preserving it during
her flight through the wilderness, planted
it by the door of the Seminoles. And
from that day, this beautiful flower has
been known between the capes of Florida
and throughout the Southern States by
the name of the Cherokee Rose"

a YANKEE Trick. just before the
Declaration of Independence Yankee
peddler started down to New York to sell
II lot Of bowls and dishes he had made of
maple. Jonathan Travelled over the city,
asking everybody to buy his wares, but
no one was disposed 20 purchase.
1t happened that British feet was
then lying in the harbor Of New York &,
and Jonathan struck upon plan Of SELL
ing his dishes. lie got naval uniform
by hook or by crook Nor history doesn't
tell where he got ;D, and strutted up town
one morning asked n merchant if he bad
any nice wooden ware, as the Commo-
dore wanted lot for the fleet.
The merchant replied that he had none
on hand, but there was some in town, and
if he would send in the afternoon he
would supply him with pleasure.
"Very good" sad our naval officer, 81
will call"
Jonathan now set out for home by the
shortest route, and he had scarcely dofcd
his borrowed pumage before down came
the merchant, who, seeing that Jonathan
had sold mono Of lis wares, offered to take
the whole if he would deduct - per cent,
but Jonathan said he'd be Rol-durned if
lie didat take I'm home before he'd take
cent less than his first price.
The merchant finally paid him down in
gold his price for the woodenware, which
laid on his shelves for many long day
thereafter, and Jonathan trotted home in
high glec at the success Of his maneuver,
while the merchant cursed British officers
ever after. -IHfiddeL Lphia LerdId.

Gently took a walk on the wharf with a
friend who is a good ventriloquist.
Two hands OF one of our steamers were
engaged in rolling off cssk, when TO the
CONSERVATION and surprise of the persons
engaged in performing that operation, a
voice was heard within the cask;
"Roll it easy; the plaguey nails hurt.
I'd rather pay my passage than stand all
this"
Holding up their hands, their visuals
expanding to the size Of two saucers, the
laborers exclaimed
"That beats the dickens !"
The mate coming up at this moment,
and unaware ofthe cause Of delay, com
menced cursing them for their diatori-
ness, when from within the cask the voice
came forth:
"You are nobody; let me out of this
cask."
"What's that ?" said the mate.
"Why, it me-" said the voice; 81
want TO get out | won't stand this any
longer"
"Up-end the cask," said the mate.
"Oh, don't. You'll kin me-" said the
voice. "Oh, how these nail prick. Look
out-don't," again said the cased up ndi-
ridual, as the men were turning it over.
Cooper" said the mate, "head the
cask and take the man out"
AS the adze sundered the hoops, and
the head was coming out the voice again
broke forth
"Be easy now is there anybody about?
] don't want to be caught"
Quite crowd had now gathered around
the scene of action, when loud, gutter
n! laugh broke forth, which made our
hair stand on end, as the cask was filed
with bacon.
"What does it mean ?" says one.
at beats my time" said the mate.
We enjoyed the joke too well to blow
as we walked off arm in arm with tho
ycntliloquist and magician.
