[By CABLE TO THE HERALD.1
PARIS. Oct. 5. 1879.
A great meeting was held here this afternoon
at the Cirque de rEte, in the Champs Elysecs,
to receive the report OF NJ. Icon Chotteau on
the proposed treaty of commerce between
France and America At least three thousand
persons were present. Most of the Senators
and Deputies being still absent in the provinces
the Chambers were not very fully represented,
but many leading French merchants were
noticeable in tho assembly, and the American
colony sent fair number of delegates. Count
Foucher de Cnreil member of the Senate,
who visited tho United States in 1860, after
his defeat as candidate of the democratic
opposition in the Calvados, and whose politco-
economical trcatises have gained him fame,
presided over the meeting. The band of the
Gardc Republicane played national airs be-
tween the speeches. following Senator DO
Careil's address with LA Marscillaise." and
Mr.. Fernando Woods with "lIail Columbia"
The airs were received with equal enthusiasm.
COMMENCING THE rRoJEcr
Count Foucher dc Carci briefly introduced
the subject. Hc congratulated both the French
and American republics on the fact that they
had shown by the numerical strength of their
representatives today assembled that they were
keenly alive to its importance. Immediate
ton was what it's promoters had craved, and
immediate action they had confidently expected.
M. Leon Chotteau thon reported the result OF his
two missions to the United States as "a delegate
ofthc French Chambers He showed by statistics
tho figures of various goods imported into
France, with tho general and conventional tariffs
apon each; the conventional tariff being for
nations with which commercial treaties already
existed, md the general for the rest of the

wT The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican
shows. in a somewhat lengthy cemmuni-
cation, the unhappy state of mind to
which the Stalwarts at the Capital are re-
duced over the political situation. We
give specimen OF the causes OF their
suffering:
"Then, again, some Of the Stalwarts
are unhappy because they see in the
nomination Of Foster, in Ohio, slipping
away Of Republicans from Stalwartism.
They see that to elect him is to throw
cold water on the Grant movement, and
they are not happy. They say that it
will be a close squeeze for Foster, and
that il Taft had been nominated the Re-
'publicans could walk over the course
They say that it will be difficult to keep
the Ohio colored voters in the TRACES
And in this it is quite likely they are
right. 1t is reported here from Ohio
that many of the colored people are GO
ing to vote for Ewing. This was to be
expected. Withou. the ensanguined
shirt for gonfalon, the Republican par.
ty cannot expect to hold this ignorant
class of voters. They are just the peo-
pie to be caught up by the Greenback
theory. I have reason to believe thai
the President himself is coguizant of this
lukewarmness on the part of many Re-
publicans, and that in consequence he is
by no means sanguine that the Repuhli-
cans will be victorious in Ohio next fall
He believes, moreover, that when the
time comes, the great majority Of the
Nationals will fall into line under the
Ewing banner and he has little hope that
any considerable number of hard money
Democrats will forsake the nominee of
their party"

Capt. Blackford, recently removed as
Chief of the Capitol police force, e,gricves
sadly because Gen. Ewing indorsed the
papers of Gen. Allabacb, who was ap-
appointed to succeed him Gen. Ewing
did indorse the new incumbent because
he knew him to be gallant eoldier. He
was the Colonel of a Pennsylvania regi-
ment during the war, and was recon-
mended by all the higher officers in his
command for promotion, but ex-Secrets-
ry Stanton refused to advance him be-
cause he was q Democrat. He was one
of thoae war Democratic soldiers that

discharge the duties of the Office to en-
tire satisfaction, cordially recommend

apathy prevails in the Republican ranks

"The canse OF this stagnation In the
Republican camp Is obvious. The lead

ination OF Gen. EwINa and Gen. RICE,
