LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The Stand
ard correspondent at Paris reports
that President McAIahon's manifesto
created immense sensation. The
Bonapartists and clerical applaud it
as a declaration OF no surrender.
The Temps. which so far. is most
outspoken Of Republican papers,
declares the manifesto unprecedent-
ed.
The Times Paris correspondent
says the people look upon President
McMahon's manifesto as only an
electoral artifice designed to frighten
timid electors into supporting off,
cial candidates and to encourage
functionaries to exert the pressure.

be the last letter Of confidential
friendship which he ever wrote:
New YORK. Nov. 8 1872-MY
FRIEND: We have been terribly
beaten. I was the worst beaten
man who ever ran for the high of
fee. And I have been assailed so
bitterly that hardly know whether

penitentiary. In the darkest hour

too soon. for she suffered too deeply
and too long. Ilaid herin the ground
with hard. dry eyes. Well, | AN

Ihave slept little for weeks, aud my
eyes are still hard to close, while
they soon open again. But no more

this contest for me. You knew as !
did that we must stop fighting the
rebels some time. But it is now
settled that we never shall.

During the war it was a matter of sur

die from the merest flesh wound, while
others would live in spite of shattered
bones and lacerated flesh On one Of
the battle-felds of Virginia soldier was
shot through the head, the ball entering
just above one ear and coming out
above the other. A kinsman retreating
and seeing him as he suffered in the
agony of death, in order to hasten his
death and relieve his suffering plunged
his bayonet into his skull. The wound

Mr.. PRRsIDENr We are assem-
bled to-day, without distinction Of
party, to honor you as the Head Of
the Nation,-the body-politic. ol
which every man here present, even
the humblest and poorest, is an
equal and integral part. We feel
that it is only right and becoming
in us to honor you as the Chief Mag
istrate OF the Republic; and. there,
fore; We give you cordial vel
come.
| But we may 60 further than this,
while ignoring and abjuring all par
/ ty politics as alien to the occasion.
For when we consider the difficulties
that beset the path Of your official
duty from the beginning, We can not
but admire and commend the fideli-
ty to your own eonYietions,-the
discretion ana courage with which
you followed that path, as you per-,
ceived it. And we rejoice over
whatever happy and auspieious re-
suits have ensued.- -s-
Unquestionably the public pulse
beats strong and full or sweet ac-
cord and the peace of the Union
within itself. And why should it
not? Are we not all fellow.citizens
of a common country? Where is
the American in whose heart no
patriotism throbs and glows?-in
whose mind is lodged no sentiment
of nationality? Who can not say of
the people of the land this, his own,
native or adopted land. Cali these
are my countrymen. in civic sense
my brethren?'
We honor you, therefore, not only
because you are the Head Of the
Nation, but because, in the high |
office you fill, you have sought. ac-
cording to your best judgment. todo
that which is fair and right to all the
States, and to all the people of the
land. And we bid you God-speed |
in whatever measures or your Ad-
ministration are in harmony with the
eternal principals or righteousness
and peace, and will therefore pro-
mote the welfare Of our whole .coun-
try. a5
Again, we bid you welcome to
this city in the mountains, which
small, is "no mean CITY,"
1t has its present attachments, it's
capacities and hopes for the future,
and its historic memories. Here was
the home OF man who received the
vote OF Tennessee for the Presidency /
Of the United States. who was the
contemporary and peer of Clay.

called in his day,-"the CATO of the

Mr.. President, to use 8 homely I
phrase. we are glad to see you. The
rock-ribbed mountains. that sur
round East Tennessee this heart
of the Atlantic StGtes,-haye been
overcome by commercial and in :
dustrial enterprise. which has built
broad and inviting highway for all
the world to visit us. And we trust
that your present visit may prove so
agreeable to you, that you will
come again.
