Baron Hausmsn aud his successor
have left undisturbed, thus far, in the
heart of Paris, a street which has an
air about it Of very old Antiquity. The
time was, remarks the Globe (London),
when Paris was the most d fficult and
awkward city to drive through In the
whole of Europe. But the wonder
tul changes in late years make it
very curious that in quarter the most
frequented in the city, and where i'm
provements have been the most gener-
al, there should remain q street dating
from the seventh century, aud famous
Tor its association with Qleen Brune-
bid, the contemporary Of the not less
famous Fredegonde. 1t il called the
street OF the Withered Tree," and it

The Paris correspondent of the Chi.
cago Tribune says: II saw Princess
Thyra at ball given last Msy by Lord
Lyons. She came incognito TO Paris
to witness the opening Of the Exhibi-
ton. She is smaller than the Princess
OF Wales, and has more character.
Some would call her pretty, but few
could pronounce her graceful or gra-
cious. The upper part of the face is
almost clsssically regular, but the chin
p1otrudes like PATHS. / was struck
with the absence of bloom in the COM
pleIioB, the anxious, worn expression
OF the lines about the mouth. The
Princess holds herself bolt upright.
She aims at being, should say, ms
yestic, and succeeds in being stuck up.
The recollection that she is sister TO
the future Queen Of England and EN-
press of Russia is, if am not mis-
taken, ever present to her mind. Her
neck is very long and very slender.
and requires the broad band of velvet
which the Princess of Wales has made
fashionable"

The chairman answered that no pro-

Garland then suggested that the neigh
Dorhood be designated so that witness

mentioned that the charges of fraud

Cameron said that charges had come
trom every part of the State, and IL
might be impossible to define any ex-
act part. Senator BIiley thought that.
as near a. possible, some definite plan
OF procedure should be adopted 40
that the charges could be met BY evI-
dence on the other side. The chair
man declared that he would allow all
necessary time for the production OF
such evidence, but no detailed plan

The Republican Ohio State Convention
which was held in Cincinnati yesterday was
one of the largest and most enthusiastic
spirit of 1SG4 toned by experience and chas-
tened by ydisappOintments and notifications
that have been encountered since the people
have yielded power into Democratic hands
The Republican party Of that noble
State has girded itself up in its fullest
strength for the impending strugglc and
has presented a ticket which the Democratic
party has not the power to defeat with
THURMAN or any other name it may be
pleased to present for popular support The
selection Of Hon, CHARLES FOSTER AZ tbs
Republican standard-bcarcr in this contest
has been induced by Influences which will
render his success dead certainty. Mr.
FOSTER deserves this honorable distinction
for the reason that lie has courageOusly
fought the enemy at great odds-repeatedly
winning victories when 10 other Republi.
can could have achieved triumph. Ills
intrepidity and fidelity to the Republican
cause are now receiving their fitting re-
ward, and we heartily congratulate hin
and the Republicans of Ohio upon thi,
auspicous inauguration of campaign
which must be covered with triumph.
The nomination of General IIICKEN
LooPER, Of Cincinnati, for Lieutcnant-Goy
crnor gives evidence that the convention
did not forget those who braved the tide o
war to crush rebellion and save the natiOna
life when it was mcnaccd with danger Gen.
cral IIICKEYLooPER was General MCPmER'
SONS chief of artillery during the war
and is now sturdy defender of the
Republican faith. This nomination
brings much strength to tho
ticket which was rendered iuyincble in it,
head, aud will make the canvass more easy
and more enlarged in the compass of its
success.
Now let the Democrats place the "Czal
"of the Caucus" ut the front, and the peo
pie OF Ohio will wipe the field with his mu
tilated political anatomy, Aroused as tho
people are under Democratic disloyaty ant
criminal blundering, the affair is all owe
now, save the shouting in honor of II re
corded triumph.

Ir is intimated that rebel brigadicr by
the name OF SINGLETON now aspircs to the
seat occupied by Senator BRUCE in the
United States Senate with some show of
success. This would be heavy blow to
JEFF DAVIS. But this man SINGLETON
possesses some attributes that would pecu-
liarly qualify him 10 represent Mississippi
in the Senate of the United States which
are not shared by DAVIS DAVIS thinks
himself an honest man, while SINGLETON
knows himself TO be anything but that.
SINGLETON also glories in his treason and
clings to it with the grasp Of an ron-handCd
traitor, while he pretends 10 be loyal TO the
Government. DAVIS is man Of honest
convictions, though of very questionable
acts while SINGLETON, his competitor, acts
entirely upon the impulse of pre-
judice without the slightest regard for JUS
tice, sense, or prophety. At this era in our
history these are qualities which are greatly
respected in Mississippi, where the rights OF
citizenship are of no account and common
honor aud honesty in politics are at II fear
ful discount. SINGLETON may snatch this
prize from DAVIS, but when he climbs tbs
high and rugged ascent that leads to the
Senate Chamber and gets seated, he will en-
blematize the ambitious monkey who made
his repulsive features the more prominent
the higher he climbed.

A Plea for an Army.

NAsiIIShTOSi ~. ", May ~, 800.
To The EiitOr of the National ReDHliicdn:
SIR The article on the second page of your
valuable paper of this morning under the
headng,"A Scrcod Against Standing Army"
challenging anybody TO give u satisfactory
answer OH those several questions, presented
in the said article, beg permission to say that
the support Of an army is necessary in order
to keep pcacc,disturbcrs in check that the
women and children and patriots Of every
class want the army for theirpropcr protection,
ready nj the shortest notice to assist the police
force Whenever necessary against an excited,
| inruriatcl mob that the wOGkingmeu, in their
peaceful and lawful business pursuits may
rely on the protection Of the army IN the cn-
! ioymcnt Of their domestic welfare, ana that
! they, without reserve, may 20 up to the polls
and cast their votes for the man of their choice,
| fearless against any mOlGstatiOn of parties
of an opinion contrary to that of the
working man. The wisdom of the Gov
crnmcnt demands it to be watchtul against
any foes that may unexpectedly infringe upon
| the rights Of the nation from without, or iUI
the suppression of revolutionary a9itations ot
demagOgucs within our boundary lines. And
the President wants the army that lie may
be able cilGctually to resist the cvil-doers
| for the rulers are not II terror to good works,
| but to tho evil from. 49,, and therefore the
ministers Of the Gospel bnvc to approve the
existence of Il standing army, till the object of
| their prcachings has resulted in the I1ution OF
! peace on earth and good will to man and then
! and not before this isaccomplished, the weapons
| shall be beaton into implements OF agriculture
This is to what the prophets, Isaiah iii. ii
and Micah Gv. Isl refer, and amy other eX:
| punatiOn would be Il vain sophistry.

The Republicans have played generous
game since the war, and have lost by it,.
They have made mistakes in trusting men
as loyal to the Union, the Constitution, and
the laws, when they were disloyal to the
laws and the Government. They have
given the South an inch and they have
seized an ell, until its people have made the
mistake of supposing that they had cap
tured the Government, and could do as
they please with it. The dclusion that has
misguided the North is broken, and the
people begin to see matters in their true
light. The South have exhibited the clovcn
foot and exposed their diabolism. The
people see it and are undeceived. The tide
has turned and the South will be over
whclmcd in 1850, and will thereafter be
corrallcl in safety under the guard of a
healthy public sentiment which will pre-
serve the Union from further Confederate
revolutionary paroxysms, until the present
is forgotten and forgiven. A Solid SOUTH
will exist, but in safe relation to the
