Jones, sculptor, and man of genius And culture, was born December 12, 1809, and is, therefore, seventy years of age to-day. We hear it intimated that this man, whose splendid work in marble (commemorative of the surrender of Vicksburg) which adorns the rotunda of tho Oip- itol, has not been invited to participate in the festival in honor of General Grant. Wo trust that our information is incorrect. But if a mistake of this kind has been made, it should be promptly corrected. Our dispatches this morning indicate that the Democratic authorities of Maine recognize the "imperial necessity" of gobbling the Legislature of that State, and are determined to resort to "alleged technicalities" in order to defeat the will of the people, emphatically expressed at the ballot box. Wli.l, press agents never tumble to the fact that there is no news in anything that may be telegraphed about Hanlnn and Courtney? The people are heartily sick of these frauds and earnestly pray to be relieved from having those names thrust upon them every 'few days in some shape or other. We present the readers of the State Journal this morning with a hand some supplement, containing a cut of General Grant, together with a brief account of his brilliant military and civil career, and a synopsis of his journey around the world. The telegraph this morning details some very interesting events which have transpired ncross the ocean during tho last twenty-four hours. Several towns of Panama were destroyed recently by storms, and great destitution is reported among the people.Advices from South America state that another battle has taken place between the armies of Chili and Peru. A Heavy Foreign Mall. New York, Dee. 11. The Postoffice yesterday sent by outgoing steamers 115,-228 letters, the heaviest foreign mail ever sent out of the office in one day. Over 6,000 foreign money orders were issued, and they averaged a little over $2 each. The increased business is attributed to the custom foreigners have of sending remittances home gi ChristmaB time. This year the number sent is estimated to be sixty per cent, greater than in nny previous year. DV TCI fCDADU u i i LLLunni ii TG THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL. FOREIGN.

A correspond ent of the Tribune has had a talk with Gambetta on the policies and affairs in France. Among other things, Gambetta says that a part of the Educational fund next year will be spent in providing a Nntional system of education for eirla. and that the tax of every sort on wine will, ne reduced in the interest of work ing classes. The French women he de clares to be "marvelously beautiful creatures," who only need emancipation to make them "simplv peerless," and bad wine, he intimates, fias had its part in causing Communism and revolution. There is need, he says, for another Premier, but if he himself were asked to form a Cabinet, he should refuse, and if the Chamber were displeased at his refusal he should "subside again into plain Gambetta." Paris, Dec. 11. Specie in the Bank of Franco decreased 5,850,000 francs the past week. In the Chamber of Deputies to day Lcpere, Minister of tho Interior, moved to grant 5,000,000 francs to the relief of the existing distress from trade depression, and announced that if this sum proved insufficient the Government would not hesitate to make a further de mand. Cuno D. Ornano, member from the De partment of Charenti, asked that some control be established over the expendi ture of the fund, so as to prevent its being usea ior electioneering purposes. Lcpere declared that he accepted the responsibility for the proper distribution of the money and demanded the adoption of his motion as an expression of confi dence in tne uovernment. The motion was adopted 524 to 3. DeKoyer, Minister of Justice, has re Bigned from the Cabinet. Ill health ii the cause assigned for the resienation. The Senate unanimously voted to grant the 6ve millions of francs asked by Le-Pere for the relief of distress, which the cnamoer oi .Deputies nail previously granted. General Canrobert, explaining the cir cumstances of his election to the Senate, entered into a defense of his career, in the course of which he declared that on December 21, 1851, he was ignorant that a coup d'etat was contemplated, and he simply obeyed orders as a soldier. SPAIN. Madrid. Dec. 11. The newly appoint ed Spanish Ministry took their seats in the Chamber ot .Deputies yesterday. Premier Canovas del Castillo, in announcing me iormation oi tne cabinet, Baut the recent crisis was due to the form in which the bill for economic reforms in Culm was drawn up; that the present Government, equally with their nredc- ecssors, would support the bill for the abolition of slavery in Cuba, and would present fresh proposals for a compromise between the interests of Spain nnd Cuba on a basis of equal duty of all Spaniards to support their share of the public burden; that tho Ministry would decide questions at issue impartially, and that they would shortly stfbmit their proposals wiiu rciereuce to vnua. At the conclusion of the Premier's re marks, an interpellation was brought for ward by tne minority of the Constitu tional party, asking for further informa tion respecting tho causes of the recent crisis. The Premier stated he was obliged to go to tne senate, out would return imme diately and reply to tho interpellation. The Constitutional Deputies stromrlv protested against this course, and considerable excitement ensued, in the midst of which, the President of the Chamber of .Deputies put on his hat and declared the sitting closed, there was great excite ment.

Panama, Nov. 29. The Chilians did not, as was expected, follow up the allicB and give them battle at Peria Grande, or Poso del Almonte. Instead, they appear to have to go into camp at Agua Santa, about forty milea north of the Peruvian position, and are entrenching. The post tion is a Btrong one, and is in commum cation by rail with Pisagua, their base of operations. The allies seemed confused and confounded by the bold move of the Chilians. The Star and Herald of Panama sa just before the sailing of the steamer Payta from Catlao, the following telegram was received by the President from General Prado: "The Chilians have been driven back in Santa Catalina and Dolores by General Buendia. Daga cuts off their retreat in Tuna, and the tight still contin uob in San Antonio." The excitement was intense, and every mie na icjuiuiiiK ill Jiimn. On the arrival of the Pavta at Pavti the official telegram was confirmed, and private ones had been received announc ing the defeat of the Chilians with heavy loss, but adding the curious circum stance that they had resumed their old positions. After the aflair at Fisigua the Bolivian battalions dispersed, and most of them appear to have gone home, Out of just four hundred men in the "Indcpendin battalion" only thirty were mustered after the fight, yet but a small numucr were killed.

As these soldiers have not yet longht the British, they believe they are able ito retrieve the defeat of the Cabulese. ' PANAMA. Panama, Dec. 11.

These cities elected fif teen Republican Representatives. The most common defect alleged is that the returns were signed by three Aldermen instead of four. In Port land the delect was in using the word "soattermg." lieltast is also understood to be among the disfranchised cities, on the ground that Dr. Brooks, nepresentative-elect, is an examining surgeon of pensioners, and is thus in eligible. The law prohibits the tlovernor and Council taking into account the ques tion of the eligibility in Senators and nepresentatiyen elect, but it is understood the Governor and Council adjudge this law also to be unconstitutional and not to be obeyed. Uenton, Kennebec county, is included among those where it is alleged the re turns were clandestinely changed. Charles u. Kounds, who made the charge of illegal amendment of the re turns, was belore the tlovernor and Coun oil to-day, in reference to the returns for county officers of Washington county, Rounds being a candidate for re-election as County Attorney.

The language of the address ot welcome, which 1 have UBt heard, forces from me this reflection: am proud of this great distinction that I have the title of an American citizen, which is the proudest title that could be allowed to any man. It haa been my fortune to serve the State and Nation, and I am grateful to its soldiers who went with me and enabled me to render such services as I may have been able to ren der. Again I thank you for the cordiality of this welcome tendered me by the citizens of Cincinnati."

Her citizens feel proud to have in their midst one who has rendered great and valuable service to onr country when civil war threatened to destroy it, and who, when peace was restored, at the helm of State, enforced such measures that all citizens of the country could enjoy the fruits of the war. Fellowicitizens, we cannot honor our guest too much, for he has ever been ready to respond when his country required his services, either in .......... n nnH Hon Knnn Mnnnn.A.I and received by all people and countries aa a moBt worthy representative of the" American Republic. Make his stay in our midst a pleasant one, so that he may ever remember his visit to our city, the t net n City ol the nest, with gratification. General Grant, in behalf of the city of Cincinnati I heartily welcome you. Ueneral urant responded as lollows "Mr. Mayor: It is with great gratifi cation that I return again to my native State, and 1 am lurther gratified in being received by the citizens of this city and State as I have been here by you and the fienple of Cincinnati. II 1 was in the iabit of public speaking, I could better give expression to the thoughts that fill my mind at this time, but not being accustomed to public speaking, I will simplv extend my heartfelt thanks to the citizens of Cincinnati and ot Ohio lor this gratifying reception. I will add what I have had occasion to Bay at other places about my own country, that my travels abroad have served only to strengthen my love of ntnnlr. ltv Mmn.n.m anil tin nnnlH.l our country stands out in better light than when seen alone. My receptions abroad in every land have been highly gratifying to me personally, aud they have been very gratifying as a recogni tion of this great land; but the com parison that I speak of is be tween a new country, full of resources not fully developed, and older countries, having been inhabited for bo many cen turies, that tho resources are in some cases exhausted and in others developed to their fullest capacity. One may travel in those countries and enjoy himself, hut if he has to earn tho money which it will take to sustain him, lie will soon wish himself back again to this country the home ot the tree. Again. Mr, Mayor, I thank yon lor this kind reception." The nublic reception then took place. The banonct to-night at the Grand Hotel was one of the most brilliant in the history of the city.

Jones, sculptor, and man of genius And culture, was born December 12, 1809, and is, therefore, seventy years of age to-day. We hear it intimated that this man, whose splendid work in marble (commemorative of the surrender of Vicksburg) which adorns the rotunda of tho Oip- itol, has not been invited to participate in the festival in honor of General Grant. Wo trust that our information is incorrect. But if a mistake of this kind has been made, it should be promptly corrected. Our dispatches this morning indicate that the Democratic authorities of Maine recognize the "imperial necessity" of gobbling the Legislature of that State, and are determined to resort to "alleged technicalities" in order to defeat the will of the people, emphatically expressed at the ballot box. Wli.l, press agents never tumble to the fact that there is no news in anything that may be telegraphed about Hanlnn and Courtney? The people are heartily sick of these frauds and earnestly pray to be relieved from having those names thrust upon them every 'few days in some shape or other. We present the readers of the State Journal this morning with a hand some supplement, containing a cut of General Grant, together with a brief account of his brilliant military and civil career, and a synopsis of his journey around the world. The telegraph this morning details some very interesting events which have transpired ncross the ocean during tho last twenty-four hours. Several towns of Panama were destroyed recently by storms, and great destitution is reported among the people.Advices from South America state that another battle has taken place between the armies of Chili and Peru. A Heavy Foreign Mall. New York, Dee. 11. The Postoffice yesterday sent by outgoing steamers 115,-228 letters, the heaviest foreign mail ever sent out of the office in one day. Over 6,000 foreign money orders were issued, and they averaged a little over $2 each. The increased business is attributed to the custom foreigners have of sending remittances home gi ChristmaB time. This year the number sent is estimated to be sixty per cent, greater than in nny previous year. DV TCI fCDADU u i i LLLunni ii TG THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL. FOREIGN.

A correspond ent of the Tribune has had a talk with Gambetta on the policies and affairs in France. Among other things, Gambetta says that a part of the Educational fund next year will be spent in providing a Nntional system of education for eirla. and that the tax of every sort on wine will, ne reduced in the interest of work ing classes. The French women he de clares to be "marvelously beautiful creatures," who only need emancipation to make them "simplv peerless," and bad wine, he intimates, fias had its part in causing Communism and revolution. There is need, he says, for another Premier, but if he himself were asked to form a Cabinet, he should refuse, and if the Chamber were displeased at his refusal he should "subside again into plain Gambetta." Paris, Dec. 11. Specie in the Bank of Franco decreased 5,850,000 francs the past week. In the Chamber of Deputies to day Lcpere, Minister of tho Interior, moved to grant 5,000,000 francs to the relief of the existing distress from trade depression, and announced that if this sum proved insufficient the Government would not hesitate to make a further de mand. Cuno D. Ornano, member from the De partment of Charenti, asked that some control be established over the expendi ture of the fund, so as to prevent its being usea ior electioneering purposes. Lcpere declared that he accepted the responsibility for the proper distribution of the money and demanded the adoption of his motion as an expression of confi dence in tne uovernment. The motion was adopted 524 to 3. DeKoyer, Minister of Justice, has re Bigned from the Cabinet. Ill health ii the cause assigned for the resienation. The Senate unanimously voted to grant the 6ve millions of francs asked by Le-Pere for the relief of distress, which the cnamoer oi .Deputies nail previously granted. General Canrobert, explaining the cir cumstances of his election to the Senate, entered into a defense of his career, in the course of which he declared that on December 21, 1851, he was ignorant that a coup d'etat was contemplated, and he simply obeyed orders as a soldier. SPAIN. Madrid. Dec. 11. The newly appoint ed Spanish Ministry took their seats in the Chamber ot .Deputies yesterday. Premier Canovas del Castillo, in announcing me iormation oi tne cabinet, Baut the recent crisis was due to the form in which the bill for economic reforms in Culm was drawn up; that the present Government, equally with their nredc- ecssors, would support the bill for the abolition of slavery in Cuba, and would present fresh proposals for a compromise between the interests of Spain nnd Cuba on a basis of equal duty of all Spaniards to support their share of the public burden; that tho Ministry would decide questions at issue impartially, and that they would shortly stfbmit their proposals wiiu rciereuce to vnua. At the conclusion of the Premier's re marks, an interpellation was brought for ward by tne minority of the Constitu tional party, asking for further informa tion respecting tho causes of the recent crisis. The Premier stated he was obliged to go to tne senate, out would return imme diately and reply to tho interpellation. The Constitutional Deputies stromrlv protested against this course, and considerable excitement ensued, in the midst of which, the President of the Chamber of .Deputies put on his hat and declared the sitting closed, there was great excite ment.

A dispatch from Madrid Bays the declaration of Premier CanavaB del Castillo in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday was received with strong expressions of disapproval, one action ot the Chamber leaving the house in a body.

Panama, Nov. 29. The Chilians did not, as was expected, follow up the allicB and give them battle at Peria Grande, or Poso del Almonte. Instead, they appear to have to go into camp at Agua Santa, about forty milea north of the Peruvian position, and are entrenching. The post tion is a Btrong one, and is in commum cation by rail with Pisagua, their base of operations. The allies seemed confused and confounded by the bold move of the Chilians. The Star and Herald of Panama sa just before the sailing of the steamer Payta from Catlao, the following telegram was received by the President from General Prado: "The Chilians have been driven back in Santa Catalina and Dolores by General Buendia. Daga cuts off their retreat in Tuna, and the tight still contin uob in San Antonio." The excitement was intense, and every mie na icjuiuiiiK ill Jiimn. On the arrival of the Pavta at Pavti the official telegram was confirmed, and private ones had been received announc ing the defeat of the Chilians with heavy loss, but adding the curious circum stance that they had resumed their old positions. After the aflair at Fisigua the Bolivian battalions dispersed, and most of them appear to have gone home, Out of just four hundred men in the "Indcpendin battalion" only thirty were mustered after the fight, yet but a small numucr were killed.

These cities elected fif teen Republican Representatives. The most common defect alleged is that the returns were signed by three Aldermen instead of four. In Port land the delect was in using the word "soattermg." lieltast is also understood to be among the disfranchised cities, on the ground that Dr. Brooks, nepresentative-elect, is an examining surgeon of pensioners, and is thus in eligible.

One may travel in those countries and enjoy himself, hut if he has to earn tho money which it will take to sustain him, lie will soon wish himself back again to this country the home ot the tree.
