derneath all this was the smoulderng adherence OF
these men and their debauchDg practices, which
only needed the opportunity 10 flame out against

found that he c0uld do so with safety. BY an
other meeting, however, he will doubtless bc i'll
calmer frame of mind, and also, it is to be hoped,
ready with more valuable information than he
furnished yesterday. He gave some pleasant
hints as 10 the way directors were manufac-
tured in the Erie Railroad under the old regime,
and some also as to the comfortable profits of
the New-York Printing Company, which real
lied for each of FIVE stockholders an annual
income of from $4,000 to $4,000, the
whole capital of the company being $4,000.

We print this morning a letter from Mr..
Elihu Burritt, whoso interest in all matters Of
philanthropy and reform grows greater with
his advancing years. 1t is a little dspiriting
that Mr.. Burtt, after considering the question
of yagabondage carefully, and in the light of
his extensive foreign observation, is unable to
arrive A. the conclusion that the tramp nuis-
ance will disappear with tho return of brighter
days for honest industry. Tie does not antici-
pate that, with the revival of business
prosperity, these squads Of mendicants will
aisband-the evil ne thinks has become chronic.
Thousands have been confirmed in shiftess
and wandering ways, and are strongly attached
to the squalid romance of their rambling, un-
settled and lazy lives. Already class feeling
"A shabby esprit de cOrps-has been developed; (;
and what was an occasional and comparatively
unimportant social element, has grown to be
distinctly and obstinately professionals broth

The remedy or rather the reduction of the
evil, which Mr. Burritt suggests, Is simply to
take the tramp at his word, when he Processes

corded i'm the letter OF our correspondent, WHO
WAS himself one of those who visited the ffench
canital to do honor 10 the founder OF KIN
dred Republic The Government which acted
from the first sullenly, happily retired from all
share in the obscquies, when Nine. Thiers
insisted that the Deputies who had supported
Tbiers's pripciples should be accorded
place in the procesSson. The grand
demonstration which iollowed bore wit
ness that the obscquies lost nothing IN inn
prcssiveness or effect from the withdrawal OF
Government interference. Remembering only
the great statrsman's love for France,
the people lined the streets as the
procession passed, and disappointed the
Royalists by preserving the most perfect
order. In this country, if we did no, on this
occasion reciprOcate the tribute which Napo-
leon paid to the memory of Washington, 1t IL
gratifying to find that our Minister and two
of his predecessors joined in paying the
last honors to the great journalist, historian,
and patriot.
A way seems to have been opened by which
applications for space at the French Exhibition
of next year can be made and granted without
waiting for the tardy action Of Congress, not
likely to he taken before the opening of the
regular December session. 1t Is stated that
nearly one thousand applications have been In
charge of the United States Legation IN Paris,
which the French Government would not
consider because they were not supported
by any official action on the part of our Gov
eminent This formality, however the French
authorities have now consented to waive, ana
these applications and all applications made
through the Legation, will be received and
acted upon. This decision seems TO be a. eff
fective in opening the doors of the Exhibition
TO our citizens as formal acceptance by our
Government of the invitation of the French
Government would be. That formal accept
ance can be made later, in time to ratlfy all
that has been done. Now, our business men
ought to go promptly to work to make the
American exhibit as nearly worthy OF the
country as it can be made, after this unior-
unate beginning

rection in that province, and cause intense an

feats inflicted by their ancient foes. The cX

vent the Porte from sending more troops
against the victorious mount@neers.
The heartiness and spontancity of the re-
ception which Gen. Graut has received at
Newcastle and other places on the Tyne show
how truly it proceeded from the popular heart.
While fashionable London received him as an
ex-ruler and successful commander The people
of the North have welcomed him rs the citizen
of a Republic where labor is hOnOred, and all
men are equal before the law.
The appeal OF the Mayor of Fcinandina for
aid ought to be needed, especially IS it is so
Reluctantly and modesty made. That unior-
tunate city has been stricken 10 the earth by
the scourge of yellow fever, and the few in
habtants who have had the courage to remain
are obliged TO care for the many sick. a mod

ought to be given promptly.
