Threatened State or Siege German View of the Situaton. London,. May 25. The Times' Paris despatch ! has the fullowiDS : "It! is' said that a note has been communicated to all thc Conservative provincial newspapers, saying that during th three months in terval between the dissolution of the Cham ber and general elections President Mac Mahon id perfectly c'utitled to decree a btaic oi siege. Dignaiurcs arc souuiieu among Paris tradesmen to a petition to the President representing that the recent events arc paralyzing trad4 j rl he Times Berlin despatch says : "I he Ministerial Post contends that the conspi racy which upset the French Cabinet s principally directed against Germany. Freucu armameuts .having been carried to the highest pitch, the mask is thrown aside and au attempt made to profit by thc latest huropean complications for gaining allies. V hat the monarchical con spirators immediately aim at is restoration of the Pavtecy. through the humiliation of Oermauy. , The . limes correspondent points outi that the Tost is the same paper that, two years ago published au ckcitiug article on the imminence of the war. BtBLix' May 25. The TagblaU says that the Duc.Ueuazes, the French M m ister of Foreign! Affairs, has sent to-the French Ambassadors- at Berlin, St. Petersburg, Vienna,, and London identical despatches. uotifyiug them of "thc recent change of ministry, and pointing out that it m nowise affects the lb reign policy of France', Re garding the Eastern question in particular, r ranee will maintain neutrality . A some what different and more extended despatch was addressed to the Ambassador at ltome. This touched upon the religious "question, and gave Reassuring explanations.! The despatch to the Ambassador at Madrid give irie nil assurances concerning thc attitude of Trance m regard to Carl:sm. The Norlli. German Gazette, comment- ug of French assurances of pacific inten tions, says; "For the present only oue thing cau be regarded as beyond doubt, namely, that the German Government devotes the most serious attention to .the turthcr develop ment of matters in France aud to symp toms of any connection of aflairs there may; have with the clerical policy. The eager ness with which the French; Government sends assurances of peaceful ' intentions cannot remove the distrust attaching to the influence and circumstances lundcr which the change of Cabinet was brought about. The mixture of Orlcanism with Ultramontanism in the. new Government is most suspicious." i Paris, May 25. President MacMahon visited the-; Exhibition buildings to-.day. In conversing with Commissary-General Krauz and others; he said ; "The rumors of tbo postponement of thc Exhibition have induced me to pay this visit, j The Exhibition will open May "1, 1878, as an nounced. 1 am especially' desirous of protecting the freedom and security of this great national cntcrprisc." I " At a reception yesterday at the Elysce the President said: ''J am cotidcioiis of having, fulfilled a great duty.- Ij have remained aud shall remaiu absolutely within thc bounds of legality. It is be cause I am thc guardian of the Constitu tion that I acted as I have. To attribute to me au intention bt assailing thc Con stitution is a miscens! ruction of myj char acter.

Only twelve miles fire to be laid to effect a junction of the Raleigh & Augusta road with the Carolina Central, and we judge that the work of filling this gap will be begun at once. .- . Neicbernian : At the close of Republican rule, over .our municipal affairs, being May 1st, 1873, thc debt of Xewbern was $8,802,21, with $1,822,81 cash, in the hands of the tax-collector, city marshal, and cemetery agent, which was paid -over to the Democratic treasurer upon his qualification to that office. .Since' May 1st, 1875, the city government has been controlled by Democrats, and thc result is, during the two years ending May 1st, 1877, the city debt has been reduced G,- 969,08-; leaving our present indebtedness $1,B33,13. Raleigh Observer: From a gentleman who arrived in the city, from Frauklinton we learn of thc termination of a feud of 12 'months standing, the result of which it is supposed will be thc death of one of thc parties, lwo men, named Shotimau and Jirown, had a misunderstanding some twelve months ago and since then there has not been a good feeling existing be tween them. One day this week the two were in the town of Franklinton and re mained there during the day drinking until both were considerably intoxicated. t a late' hour" in the evening the two men, accompanied bv a hoy who had a hoe, started for their home, about three miles in the country, but before reaching home they b'ogau quarreling, when Shoff raan seized the hoc and inflicted three ugly wounds in Brown s head. Brown was aken home at once, and has since been in a somewnac critical condition, aim 10- day, when, our informant left, a magistrate with witnesses had gone to the woundod man's residence to take his dying declara tion. Shoflman fled the locality after his rash act,- and has not been heard from since. ralateral, composed of Tenia, Shumln, Ruschuck and Silistria, is satisfactory. The Turkish army in Aria, however, is spoken of as deficient in everything but bravery and enthusiasm. It . it not considered necesiary at the War Depart ment that additional troops be sent to Utah.
