FRANCE.
Hing victor Emmanuels Death
Creates Anxiety In France.

Sreuteb Au1lety H EhuCe.
SPARrs, January 1O.-Thel death Of
King Victor Emmanuel produced great
impression here, the sudden disappear
auce Of the patriotic promoter Of the
Italian unity creates fresh anxiety in
the minds Of French politicians. Victor
Emmanuel, despite every influence
brought to bear on him had remained the
friend Of Franca, and notwithstanding
the cession Of Savoy and Nice, and hasty
peace Of Villa Franco, he deemed
himself under obligations TO France, al.
though Italy was made distrustful by Vi.
tramonism had formed such relations
with Germany as 10 pass for her docile
attorney. 1t was known and proved by
his recent interview with NJ. Gambetta,
that, Victor Emmanuel would not, except
in the last extremity, have acceeded to
any enterprise apparently menacing to
France. His death depriyes this country
OF the moral security based entirely
on the Kings personal feeling
and effaces the last trace OF an
individual gratitude, which inspired the
French nation with instructive confidence.
The prospect OF an early conclaye
coupled with this event excites anxieties
which Victor Emmanuel might have
warded of. Although Plus TX declared
repeatedly that he should live long
enough to see the King repent on his
death bed, the two men, II Is known,
could not help liking each other, and the
King had often prevented his advisers
from taking too seriously 10 heart the
attacks which the Pontiff took pleasure in
heaping on him. Here too individual
goodwill and respect disappear with the
King, and there is no telling how far
Italy will now be willing or able TO pro
tect the deliberations OF the Conclaye.
Happily the issue Of this last crisis will
have served to considerably alleviate the
consequences OF the Kings death, aud
liberal Italy, under whatever sovereign,
cannot regard France rs cherishing
hostile views towards her. The lib
eral maiorities in France and Italy will
soon have dispelled every trace oil mis-
understanding, and the appointment Of
NJ. Waddington as French Minister Of
Foreign Affairs is peculiarly fitted TO
further this uureserved accord. Still
Victor Emmanuel's death In the existing
circumstances iustifes the painful im-
preston it has produced here, for, ire
spective Of the French and Italian rela.
tions, ii creates void in the counsels Of
Europe which will be constantly appar-
ent in impending events.
NJ. Gambetta has just delivered a
speech at Marsailles, In which he said !:
at Is now advisable for the Republicans
to make 4 halt until 1880 to fortiiy the
positions already conquered, and to sup
port the present ministry until after the
Senatorial elections next year, when they
will have majority in the Senate; also,
until then there should be no rashness,
no dissensions, no Mistakes"
The appointment Of General Garner to
command the sth corps Of the army, vice
General Ducrot, is gazstted. General
Ducrot is appointed member Of the
Mixed Commission Of Public Works.

Il will be seen ,hat the Rev DE-. Be.
cleston, Of Newark, New Jersey, declines
the call rendered him to become the Epis.
c,pal Bishop Of West Virginia. Itis In
timated that he will remain where he Ia,
which ia equivalent to saying that his
people at Newark are we'll satisfied with
him and he with them-so we'll that even

therefore, devolyes, as we understand it,
upon the Standing Committee OF this d.
ocese, aud, therefore, the question arises
once more, who is the coming man?
twill be remembered that Rev. Meade,
Of Jefferson county, was frat chosen by
the clergy at Charleston, but the selec-
,ion was not concurred in by the laity,
and therefore his nomination fell to the
ground. 1t is not therefore to be pre-
sumed that his name will come before the
standing committee.
ltis no easy matter to fill the poaition
OF Bishop in such diocese as West
Virginia with the right man in the right
place. The life is one Of considerable ex-
posure and deprivation, and the remun-
Grafton is not equal to what many pas
tors in the larger towns receive. Some
time ago the suggestion was made by one
Of the interior papers Of the State that the
new Bishop should be man well
acquainted with and well adapted
to the mission work that will naturally
deyolve upon u Bishop in this diocese
II we remember right, one contemporary
further suggested that he should be

TO be the duty Of the government as well
asa matter Of political economy that ar
rangements should be made nj au early

marine, so that the United States maill
may be carried in American vessels, and
that efficient marine avenues be estab'
lished for the transit Of our excess Of pro-
ductions 10 foreign ports on the Amer:
lean continent, we have concluded to call
national convention to be held at
Washington City on Tuesday, January
-, 1878, for the consideration OF this
important matter, and we most earnestly
invite the cooperation Of all Boards Of
Trade, industrial, commercial and 6nan'
cial organizations that agree with US n
herein specified, and request them to ap'
point three delegates to represent them
iu said convention; and appreciating the
wisdom and power Of the public press We
cordially invite its cooperation in such
manner as to Il may seem most proper
This Chamber has appointed Jacob Reese

FIVE hundred Chicago tailors are out

FIVE hundred Chicago tailors are out
on quiet kind OF a strike. They refused
20 90 TO work, on the I'D, at the recently
reduced figures; but they are not making
much of a fuss over it, and the leaders
say they do not intend to. A representa-
tive clothing merchant makes.the fol-
lowing statement regarding the situation
OF affairs to-day Most of the wholesale
stores have large stock left over on
account OF the weather. There being
but very limited demand for goods, the
price of manufacture OF the same had to
be cut down In order that there might be
anything at all done In the line of
clothing. Then, again, The country stores
have all laid In large and unstable stocks
on account Of an anticipated severe winter
and heavy crops. Disagreeable weather
has softcned the roads and made 1t next
to impossible to move the crops. The
demands OF the tailors are for an Increase
Of from % to 10 per cent. on the wages
they are now receiving. The representa-.
ton made is that the prices for making
clothing In the different lines have been
reduced time after time, until figures
hare been reached at which the tallors
found it impossible to sew. They ac-
cordingly demanded $3.50 for making
nne irock coat, or more than the old
price, 65 cents instead Of IS cents Tor a
fine vest, and a proportionate increase
all round.
