calling the members of the committee 10 -etAcr,
introduced resolution, which in effect declared
that the Republican County Executive Commit
tee favored the Worlds Fair bill il now stands
in the Assembly. On this resolution Elihu Root
made a speech Of ten or fifteen minutes duration
in support Of it. He sold that out Of the los cor
porators named in the bill, there were ten only on
whom Tammany Hall could depend. The remainder
was made up of Republicans County Democrats
and Mugwumps Of both parties. The County Dem
ocrats. lie thought would not vote with the Tam
many Hall members. but would sooner vote with
the Republicans The idea Of Chaunccy VI. De

THE COMTE DE PARIS IN '62
HIS HONORABLE AND COURAGEOUS
CAREER WITH MCCLELLAN.

On His Coming Visit to tho United stntes
He VIII Bo Warmly Welcomed by Many
Old Comrudes-Fitz John Portor'a STRAIT
ecy ut Gaines Mill.
Should the Comte de Paris prolong
his visit to the American states it will
give occasion for some pleasant re-
Unions with those Of his old camp as
sociates in the Union army who sur
vive at this date. Although he was on
headquarters duty-he served as a
captain and aide-de-camp under tho title
of Louis Philippe d'Orleans-he was by
no means n carpet knight, but one OF the
rough and ready soldiers, who braved
danger and hardships with his American
comrades like yeoman, prince though
he was and king that might be. The
fact that he was student and observer,
as well as daring man of arms, no
doubt gives q sober hue to tho personal
recollections of the war, which he has
published in Europe and America, yet
his observations are SO frank and earnest
that, coming from foreigner of rank so
exalted, they have all the interest of the
most stirring narratives.
The count reached Washington short
" after the battle Of Bull Run, when
