EUGENIE'S RETURN.

NApoLEoN's WIDOW RETURNS TO PARIs-HER
JOURNEY sEcRErLy CoNDUcTED--sHE PASSES
UNNoTIcED THROUGH THE CARE D'oRLEASs.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
PARIS, Dec. 8, 1879.
The ex-Empress Eugene arrived here from
Spain at six O'clock this evening. The Due
de Bassano and Vicomte de Turenne met
her at the Care d'Orleans. They had
come in a private landau and nobody had
recognized them at the station. On the arrival
of the train the Duo de Bassano advanced and
gave his arm to the ex-Empress, who was dressed
in deepest mourning, with long Grape veil,
and whose air was even more detected than
when she left for Madrid. Her hair is now
gray and her face is white as marble She
passed unnoticed across the platform, and, en-
tering the landau, was driven to the Due de
Mouchy's hotel in the Boulevard de Courcelles.
She will not stay more than an hour or two.
Her journey has been kept quite secret.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION EXCITEMENT

HAVANA, Dec. 9, 1879.
The steamer City OF Alexandria. from Vera Cruz,
arrived yesterday afternoon. bringing City Of Mexico
advices to November 80. General Gonzalez has been
arrested and is In close confinement. charged with
conspiracy. Governor Charles, OF Coahuila. has
resigned. being disgusted at the extension
Of the federal Jurisdiction over Sierra Majada.
The Legislature opposes his resignation. The
Presidential election excitement is increasing, free
suffrage being secured to the people, who were
heretofore unknown in politics in Mexico, because
the government managed the elections for the whole
Republic the people taking no interest in political
issues. Now. however. it is quite different Presi-
dent Diaz believes that the federal Executive is
obliged by his oath of Office to guarantee to
the people their rights according to the

the importance of securing the law of property
against the attack of individual or sectional
wiliulness is clearly understood" The article
concludes as follows :-''Neither another Wolfe
Tone nor another Stephens would now be able
to find III Europe America any sympathy
with plots against England, but it j. important
to observe that both in France and the United
States the true character of Mr.. Parnelrs agta-
tion Is perceived, and that under its constitu-
tional phrases violent revolutionary character
has been discerned"
THE ARRESTS AND THE DISTRESS.
The Dublin correspondent of the Pal Mall
Gazette says that the arrest of Brennan caused
no excitement whatever, the newspapers taking
little notice of the matter. The trials ut the
Dublin Queens Bench Court are likely to be at
tended by no unusual incidents, as in that city
there are no real sympathizers with extremists
or socialistic land agitators The very urgency
OF the necessity Tor providing for the
temporary wants of the poor in towns and
country districts is killing any desire for
agitation. The distress prevailing in many dis
tricts is very great, and the best measures that
can be devised for its relief are being put into
operation, and boards Of guardians and local
committees are too busy in devsing means to
assist the suffering to engage in public demon
strations. The severity of the season is also
unsuitable for hillside gatherings. The notice
given in the New York HERALD in so formal
and decisive manner to Mr.. Parnell, that he
will get very little money in New York for his
Irish enterprise, has also produced visibly dis
couraging effect upon his followers.

IRISH SOCIALISM.

PRACTICAL VIEW OF Mr.. PARNELL's AerTA-
rroN-MEN OF SENSE IN GREAT BRITAIN AND
ON THE CONTINENT DISCOURAGE THE MOVE
xKNr-THE POLITICS OF FAMINE.
(By CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Dec. 9, 1879.
The leading article of tho London Times this
morning is upon the Irish question, Mr. Parnell
and his co-laborers their appeals for sympathy
and aid, and is long and elaborate review of
the entire field. 1t says:-'Appeals have been
recently made for sympathy from France and
America by the Irish agitators, and it has been
boldly assumed by them-or perhaps merely in
ignorance-that they have won support, moral
and material both on the Continent and in the
United States. We published the other day
an extract from the NEW York HERALD,
which showed what Americans think Of
Mr.. Parnell and his recent proceedings.
At the Mayo meeting the suggestion
Of emigration rs measure of relief
for the ovcrcrowdcd sterile and poverty
stricken districts of Western Ireland was de-
nounccd as an outrage. But the NBw YORK
HRRALp plainly advises the American people
not to give one cent for Parnell and his crowd,
but millions to aid in the emigration of the
Irish to the United States The practical good
sense of the Americans warns them against the
social and economic errors which Mr.. Parnell's
crazy programme promulgatcs. They have
no faith in the supcrsttious notion that by Sc
curing to the Irish peasant in Ireland the per.
petual occupancy Of his holding he will be
transformed into a paragon of thrift, industry
and self-rcstraint. 1T Is far more likely
quoting Mr.. Parncll's American critic, that If
the change is carried out, mud cabins viii be as
numerous in Ireland ten years hence as they
were in 1S41.'"
PROVOKING SOCIAL WAR.
The Times leader further says that "thc
madness of urging on people to provoke social
war by refusing to recognize the landlords
right either to his own rent or his own land
must be apparent to any community in which

DUBLIN, Dec 8, 1879.
Much noisy demonstration occurred ut Castle
bar yesternight against Mr.. Bond, the Express
reporter. A large crowd of roughs gathered
before the hotel, burned him in ef6gy and threat
ened his life if he came out. They waited till
the departure Of the Dublin train at ten o'clock,
but under the advice of his friends Mr.. Bond
remained over night The Inspector of Con-
stabulary offered to escort him, if he wished
to depart, and even offered the services of the
military. A general demonstration was made
against all reporters. Several were insulted by
the mob. On the departure of Mr.. Bond this
the road to the station, but not the slightest
manifestation took place. A general feeling of
disgust prevails regarding the action of the agi-
tators at Castlerea on Sunday and at Castlebar
yesterday.
AGITATION WITH CLOSED DOORS.
Parnell, Davitt and others said in an ostenta-
tious manner that they courted publicity and
welcomed the government reporters. They
never said anything which they did not claim to
want reported. Yet on Sunday they refused
Bond a place on the platform. though merely
representing the Express. They also refused
places to two government reporters. Davitt
refused to speak if Bond came. Others showed
an equally bitter enmity. Parnell was per-
suaded to take the same position but his moder-
alton came at critical moment to his rescue.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Brennans counsel yesterday purposely
aroused the animosity of the crowd in court
by branding Bond as an informer. Mr. John
stone, an Express reporter, and Mr.. Stringcr,
who were both government reporters in Dublin
ut the DAILY and Killeen cases, attend no more
meetings on account Of threats they have re-
ceived. 1t ia not proof of honesty or fairness
on the part of the agtators that while they at
tacking the government for dcpriving Irishmen
of the liberty Of speech, they should themselves
be threatening the liberty of the press. The
general opinion prevails that the cases Of the
arrested agitators will not be heard of after
indictments have been found against them at
Carrick-on-Shannon this week, the government
desiring merely to hold indictments over their
heads. Brennan left Castlebar to day.
Brennans case will be removed to the Court
of Queens Bench at Dublin.
