Hayes, says good Republican authority
"will undoubtedly be to change most OF
the Federal officers in Louisiana. Some
of the most important Offices, it appears,

as the naval office at New Orleans is held
by negro, whose accounts come up to

LATE FOREIGN ADVICEs.

PARIS, September 2l.-An address 10
the nation signed by number of Paris
ians and provincial candidates for the
Chamber of Deputies, representing all
shades of Republicanism, is published
to-day. 1t replies point by point to
President MacMahon's manifesto. Fol
lowing is the concluding passage
" Your duty will now in
crease with the audacity of those who
presume to impose themselves on France.
You cannot become the instrument of
clericalism. A republic must have re-
publican functionaries, and the country
expects order, peace and stability
through the republic"
THE GENERAL FEELING.
LONDON, September 21.-The effect OF
Marshal MacMahon's address to the
French people has been the reverse of
what its authors intended. 1t is true
that as yet we only know what Paris
thinks of the manifesto, and, since the
establishment of universal suffrage,
Paris has ceased to mean France, but in
Paris, at any rate, and probably in
France, the menaces which the Marshal
has been induced to hold over the heads
of the people have completely failed to
either COW the Left Centre, or drive the
extreme Left into imprudence
