This is the uniform testimony
borne from all political assemblages of
the Republican party North, and even at
Í5 Dallas, at their recent Radical caucus,
he >v4s commended as their first choice
for the succession. The arch conspira'
tors are everywhere stimulating turbu-
lence and disquietude in the laboring
classes—even to the extent of transport-
ing Dennis Kearney in a palace car
from San Francisco to the hub, in the
expectation of creating an apparent
necessity for the coming o! Grant. Mr.
J. Gould is reported having said:
"We- shall soon find ourselves living
under a monarchy. I would give a
mil tion dollars to see Gbant back in the
White House. The time is near when
they (the banks) will feel themselves
compelled to act strongly. The machin-
ery is now furnished by which, in any
emergency, the financial corporations ot
the east can ret together at a single day's
notice, with such power that no act of
Coegress can overcome or resist their de-
cision." - , % igfe ■ • — -1
The political wire-workers, scenting
the flash pots from afar, catch upon
these indicees to strengthen the
resolution to make Grant the
Republican standard bearer for *80.

congressional elections.
The Democracy" have lost one Repre-
sentative in Colorado and gained one in
Oregon. The Congressional delegation
of Indiana stood in the present Coegre«a,
nine Republicans to four Democrats.
The Democrats have now elected six
members and two doubtful districts to
hear from, which may give them a ma-
jority of the delegation. In Ohio the
old delegation is twelve Republicans and
eight Democrats, now the tables have
been turned and eleven Democrats are
reported as certain. This gives a gain
of five Democrats as certain, and the one
from Iowa makes it six. The returns in-
dicate in West Virginia an unchanged
delegation, which is two Deraqpraia to
one Republican.
Shonld the-Presidential election be
thrown into the House of Regreaenta-
tives, the election will be by States, and
this gives Ohio and possibly Indiana as
a gam over the present House, which has
a majority of the States for the Demo-
crats. : .• :

LProm oar regular Oorreepondent.1
Paris, September 26.
Let us finish to day our tramp and
rambles on Champ de Mars, so pleasant-
ly begun and described in my last letter.
The first house we visit contains the ex-
hibit ot the English Navy. Not a single
engine or boiler is to be seen, not one of
those gems of engineering which pro-
pelled the little steam launches of fheir
navy under charge of jolly British tare,
and flaunting under British bunting; in
fact they have scarcely any naval exhib-
ition whatever, while the marine exhibits
of France are superb. What England
shows may be summed up in few words:
A series of models, and very, beautiful
models, by the Cunard, White Star and
lmne companies, and two or three ship-
building companies and firms; one
anchor; one screw propeller and one
boat-lowering apparatus, models and a
few pleasure boats. And this is the
naval collection of Great Britain I ; This
pitiful exhibition is all the mor conspic-
uously small from the extent of the
crowded French annexes, wtuch cover
an area of at least ¿ hundred ftimei^e
extent of the British naval shed, cover-
ing nearly the whole extent of the river
«de.
The enormous French annex which
fills the British side of the far?* is ap-
propriated to tne, special, exhibition of
the chambers of commerce an d ports of
France. Each port, exhibits separately
its principal imports and exports, the
packages in which tbéy arrive, marks,
and other commercial characteristics and
local peculiarities, charts, plans, statist-
ics, engineering, and other reports and
drawings. It is a commercial museum
on a scale never before attempted,"and
the arrangement is as ample, and conse-;
quently as sensible, as could be con-
ceived. ft is an exhibition worthy of
the government and local authorities of
a great "nation. '
Passing beneath the dry arch of 3*be
Jena Bridge, another annex of the same
rise as the preceding is reached. This
is divided into three sections, devoted
respectively to means of saving life from
fire and water and navigation, and all
are as well filled as possible. The last
and most important includes engines,
boilers, and other ship machinery of
large size, and small apparatus and fit-
tmgs innumerable; and there are. some
very curious models-of coast protectors,
floating 'batteries, and special vessels
built for speed, and to draw little water,
double cigar boats, and several other
curious forms, one of these is lettered
'Havre et New York."
All the immense%nnexes which run
the whole length of the Champ de Mars
on the French side, which occupy near-
ly all of its width, proved insufficient,
for just beyond the nautical annex is an
additional one of considerable size, for
pumps "and other hydraulic apparatus in
motion; and there slmdst every imagina-
ble kind of pump,' kiting, forcing, cen-
trifugal, revolving anA chain pumps
garden engines, «fee., are to be seen
in action, bringing tons of water out of
the Seine and pouring it back again.

ium is reached.',' It occupies a lar¿e
space, but except with respect to oyster
breeding and cultivation, which has
been prosecuted with much ; skill and
some success in France, the aquarium
possesses scarcely any interest—a few
eels and small fish are all it contains.
The oyster beds of Arcachon and other
places, the mode of planting then
the processes employed in the beds are
well llustrated.
Returning ov r tbe,bridge or through
the gates, the French: division of the
horticultural portion Bee facing us. Its
arrangements are identical with those of
the other side which I described in my
last letter, it is, I need scarcely say,
foily as well stocked and as brilliant, in-
cluding a gr*n& fountain, a splendid
lawn, and superb flowers. At the sides,
«lio,, are two large buildings, but they
are not devoted to the general exhibition,
but to the flower and fruit shows which
occur every fortnight 'and retain their
attractions- for «orne days. These shows
am always tpJiere&ting.. J ' • .
There remáis but the separate build-
ings in tbte angle of the-gróunds to be
described..: 'An excellent French resta'
rant ahd café of the highest class occu
pies the'position corresponding with that
of the Belgian establishment already
mentioned.,, Behind the fonner is the
exhibition of the government tobacco
factory, where a number of young wo-
men ar engaged in. cigarette making,
&c. A littlo further oiiis a collectjón of
the castings of tlic. famous foundry of
tiré Val d' Osne, and some smaller exhi-
bitions. Th$n ;comes a large building
belonging to-the great iron and machin-
ery. works of Creusot, With a model' of a
very large steam hammer in front; oshi-.
bitions of tba productions of several
other large., manufacturing establish-
ments; one of the great gas company of
Paris; a bandsóme pavilion oonj&ning

Works, including all the building ma-
terials' employed-i-stone, marble, terra;
cotta, plain and1 décórStive—and a num-
ber of fine illustrative maps and modols,
in reBef, of reines aadquarries, ccjntaia-
of the exhibition, ana all arranged and
ticketed with the precision which char-
acterises our friends here. ,
Very near the preceding is a little
temple built of terra cotton and contain-
ng a good collection of twists, statuettes,
urea in gold. New and curious is the
combination of lacc and jewels. One
exhibitor placea a necklace of diamonds
with pearl drops on a narrow ruching of
point a t augnille; another makes the Is
in alver filignee, and sets the diamonds
upon it in a lace pattern. Muslin em-
broidery is likewise imitated in silver
filignee, aud gems. The flowers and
bouquets are as u&like as possible from
the heavy so-called floral ornaments of a
few years since. They are studied from
nature; the veins of the leaves are mark-
ed by the interstices of the stones, and
the high relief of certain gems here and
there, where a petal may be folded back
or a leaf crumpled, takes away the un-
formity. Motion, ton, is added without
angularity; the pendant blossoms hook
one into the other, and the others are
supported on stems that tremble at each
movement, bo light and well-balanced is
the silver background. Some of the
most effective branches and flowers have
colored stone mixed with the brilliants.
An exquisite bunch of various blossoms
is made Qf brilliants and yellow dia-
monds. Here are dog-roses and butter-
cups, grasses and campampomeila. Each
blossom can'be detached from the rest
and worn separately. A lonely branch
of laburnnm is also composed of brilliants
for the light-pointed leaflets, and of yel
low diamonds for the golden rain of
flower; a heartsease is in diamonds aud
amythests, the latter naturally forming
the purple petals of the quaint blossom;
dog -roses in brilliants, mounted with
artificial leaves and ox-eyed daisies^ ,

Cincinnati is in Hamilton county and
the general government pays out in t^at
county alone over six hundred thousand
dollars a year to officeholders, every man
,u-l of whom had been assessed a per cent on
salary equaling in the aggregate
twelve thousand dollars. Besides this,
every national bank in the State had been
assessed to beat the Democracy, and pri-
vate contributions were Bent freely from
other States by' those who desired to
show that the President is strong at hoipe.
For the first time in her history Ohio tiras

tictig which meant force or bribery to

peril Republicans regarded the State.

For they know that when the love of

ways be abulto control the destinies of
the people. Sneh degradation of the
ballot box is rspidly paving the way for
securing ¡material authority in the

tho public men of Texas have thus been
duped into the meshes of artful corpor-
ations against (he liberties of the people.
Certainly there are higher and more po-
tential issues than those involved in
regulating the curren cy of the country.
The time has been when the grand *old
Democratic party was inspired by the
highest and noblest principles underly-
ing the liberty of the people—whea the
masses were inspired by a pure and un-
selfish patriotism in the selection of their
standard bearers for office. The Demo-
cratic party has won its immortality
from its'self-sacrificing devotion to tho
best interests of the country, whether in
peace or war, and het heroes and chiefs
have emblazoned American history with
its brightest glory, ft was the old fed-
eralists who could burn the patriot
Jefferson in effigy, and in the war of
1812, burn bine lights to guide the ene-
my's fleets to our shores. Hie party op-
posing the Democracy before the war
was distinguished for its corruption, as
in their purpose to give each of their
followers farms, at Auburn in 185S, and
of a whole State administration aa in
Wisconsin, and members of Congress
who were expelled for their perfidy.
The Southern Democracy has especial-
ly been distinguished tor its purity and
patriotism in its whole history, while
their enemies «nee the war have created
near three hundred milliona of indebted-
ness against these- States in the brief
years of their usurpation, and sacrificed
in every way the material as well as
moral- Interests of the country. The
whole machinery of Radical administra-
tion, whether in federal or State govern-
ment, has been predicated- on merciuary
considerations. Tuey have given the
sanction of corrupt law to the robbery
of the people in every department of
government, and have never for an in-
tent been guided by motives of honesty.
It is to route horse, foot and draggoon
these enemies of honest government
that the Democracy has to labor, aud it
a to the stern patriotism of the country
he appeal should always be made.
There is a latent sentiment in the heart
of every Southern man that caá be
touched by appeals to this religion of
his birth. They love their native land
too wál to seo it debased to the pur-
poses of Shylock. In the war of
Texian independence, and in the
war of these States with Mexico,
Texians never faiied to do their whole
doty to country. They have been dis-
tinguished as much upon the field of
battle as in civil life, in exhibitions of

these chickens coming home to roost, by
the aid of John Hekbt Brown:
He stated to a Dallas Herald reporter
that be had a slight acquaintance once
with McGinnis, who then lived at La-
Grange, in Southern Texas, some twenty-
five years ago, and. afterwards heard of
him in Polk county. He said that in
April, 1877, McGinnis came to Dallas
from the Western States, and tried to get
Major Brown to sell for him the Israel
Jennings fourteen hundred and seventy-
six acres, seven miles west of Dallas. He
had on 'record a deed from Win. Jen-
nings, the rightful Owner, pretended to
have been in DeKalb county, Missouri,
in 1854, and recorded in Dallas in 1674,
nineteen years and nioetean days after
its execution. This aroused the suspi-
cion of Major Brown, who conferred
with Captain Harwood, county clerk, on
the subject. The latter told him the
land belonged to the widow of William
Jennings, who was married to a gentle-
man in Ellis county, whose name he did
not know. Major Brown at once recog-
nized the facts, knowing the lady to be
Mrs. John M. Hardeman, of Ellis, to
whom he atonce wrote, and received at
once for an answer that neither herself
nor her former husband had ever sold
the land, and that site had paid taxes
annually on it all the time. McGinnis
regular chain of transfers from
Jennings, through two or three others,
down to one George McClare, of Illinois,
and a power of attorney from tho latter
to himself to sell the same. Examining
all the papers, Major Browu and Captain
Harwood told McGinnis the whole set of
i pera were base forgeries, and that Mrs.
ehnda J. Hardeman was the rightful
owner of the land. McGinnis left here,
promising to get proof that his titles
were all right but has never done so,
and Major Brown is still confident that
the whole thing was a forgery.

000,000, but even this probably does
not include the indirect or consequential
damage that will be felt for yeara to
come in the arrest of development and
growth in the districts within the fever-
belt tesulting from the partial, if not the
entire stoppage of immigration. When
the future is considered, together with
the immediate lens to the cotton and
sugar crops for the year, the aggregate
injury to the Routh becomes almost be-
yond computation. For one hundred
and fifty miles back of Memphis the ne-
groes have been abandoning the fann-
ers and flocking into Memphis to get
means of su beistence without work.
Besides this, they plunder and rob the
houses left vacant by death or deser-
tion, and hold a high carnival of crime.
Tho crops everywhere in the Mississippi
valley have been largely abandoned, and
the planting as well as commercial in-
terests prostrated by the work of tho
fell destroyer.

the defence of a common country. The
arch enemy in various disguises seeks to
circumvent the dearest interests of the
people, and would sacrifice their all

proffering wholesale bribery to the peo-

The political complexion ot the Leg-

interest as there is a United States Sen-
ator to elect this winter. Mr. Yoorbees
now holds it by Rxecutivo appointment,
and if a Democratic Legislature is re-
turned, will no doubt be elected for six
The last Legislature stood
Democratic majority of two m the Sen-
ate, and a Republican majority of nx
in the House, which gave the latter a
majority on joint ballot The election
retaras as telegraphed aro very meagre
and unsatisfactory, but from the gain of
Democratic Congressmen in Indisna and
tiie fact that this was achieved in spite
of the Radical gerryamandensg ot the
districts, leads us to conclude that the
Democrats have secured a majority in
both houses of the Legislature.

tions report that the Congressional dele -

So steadily had the tide of exchanges
been setting agninst London, the balance
of specie for the last six months being
actually in favor of the United States,
that it only needed the shock of the
Glasgow disaster to turn her uneasiness
into anxiety. Such a feeling liaa ex-
isted in the British metropolis for tho
past week, and the dispatch of yester-
day announcing that money can be plen-
tifully obtained from France and Ger-
many, so that apprehensions of a strin-
gent money market are allayed, means
all that its conclusion indicates. Lon-
don begmsto fear that not oaiy is there
to be no flow of the precious petals from
the American mines into her coffers, but
that the tide is setting westward, aad
that United States bonds beiag no long-
er available, the balances in our favor
will have to be paid—actually and
truly paid—la hard cash.—New York
