Atlanta Journal.
Atlanta, Dec. 22. Mr. Sttvenson re
fuses to discuss politics, but in talking
with one of the gentlemen in the party
concerning the South and the adminis
tration he said:
"As to what the incoming administra
tion will do, I refer to the distinguished
gentleman who has his country home at
Buzzard's Bay. He has more reliable
information on that subject than I have,
There is not a shadow ol doubt on my
mind," he continued, "but the South will
be more prosperous under the coming
administration than it ever was before.
The South and North wil! know each
other better and the season of distrust
will be wiped away."
This announcement will be received
with regret by citizens of all classes in
Asheville. A reception had been ar
ranged in honor of Gen. Stevenson and
everything possible would have been
done to insui e him a Merry Christmas
here.

mmediately after the reading and ap
proval of the journal, Mr. McWilliara

SYRUP OF TAR
Jealous ol The Monarchists, How
ever, and One PartvWHl Prob
ably Kill Oft The influence of Ibe
Other A Farce of a Duel.
Paris, Dec. 22. Today it is the Bona-
partists that are stepping to the front to
take advantage of the difficulties of the
Republic. The activity of the Royalists
aroused the jealousy of the Imperialist
leaders and at a secret conclave they
drafted a manifesto addressed "to the
people of France," urging them to recall
the house of Bonaparte to the throne.
This manifesto has not yet been issued,
but awaits the approval of Prince Victor,
the present recognixed head of the ex
Imperial family. Prince Victor is now in
Brussels and the Bonapartist leaders in
Paris have sent agents to that city to
induce him to sign the manifesto and
authorize its publication.
Prince Victor has been living in com
parative retirement recently ,but has kept
careful watch uponthe course of events
and, has been lound fully equal, Bonapart-
ists say, to any crisis that may arise,
and while prudent as to taking decisive
steps he will be positive and courageous
in action when once tne step is iukcu.
Imperialists have been canvassing ear
nestly for supporters among the Depu
ties, but not with much success. As the
chance ol revolution against the republi
can government seem to increase the divis
ion between the Monarchists ano non-
aDartists widens. Members of both par
ties, which heretofore have met on the
common ground of opposition to the Re
nuhlie. are now showine considerable
jealousy as to which party will profit by
the ditterences oi tne KeDuouc. Airciiuy
this jealousy is showing itself in the
strained relations between prominent
members of the Right. The course of
the Bonapartists awaits the pleasure of
Prince Vitor, who has yet to oc nearu
from officially.
THE FRENCH Dl'IL,
Any
It Was Never Known to Do
Harm to Ibe Principals.
Paris, Dec. 22. A duel between M.
Clemenceau and M. Deroulfde took
olace as arranged yesterday. Neither
was injured. Gen. Felix G. Sanssier, mil
itary governor of Paris, had refused to
act as an arbitrator. The idea of arbi
tration was ridiculed as an evidence of
cowardice on the part of Deroulede who
suggested it. Destaudes was appealed
to and he ut once proceeded to bring
things to a climax. He decided that De
roulede and Clemenceau should have an
opportunity to take six shots at eacn
other and that the combatants suouio uc
placed twenty-five paces apart with the
privilege of advancing three steps during
the tiring.
