G
THE DOWNFALL 01 CLIQUY.
BY nORACB GREELEY.
The midnight stars ot the night which srpa
rated the 2lid from the 24th (Inyo! July lant
looked down on a memor ible Btuht at the north
end of the jrreat, itay, witty, wicked city of Paris
the BelI-choen metropolis of civilization aril of
Christendom. Ai the la t stroke of the clock
knelled the close of the expiring day, the great,
grim nates of the spacious and substantial stone
edifice, No. 70 Kac Clichy, were thrown open,
and there issued in hasty. Irregular procession,
the whole body of prisoners' for debt hlthoi to
confined in that metropolis, save the hnplen fc
only who, having no home, no Irieuds, no
money, had beeped of the keeper the poor boon
cf retaining till ninrnicg thiir narrow cells auo)
rugged pallets; so that Uiev nncbt walk lorth in
broad daylight to renew their unequal struggle
with a stepmother world. For tome of toe
luckier majority, friends and carriages were
waiting; but the theater number trudged tiway
soberly and steadily, in quest of such poor lodg
ings as were ready for tbpni, or as their scanty
resources would still sufilec to command. Next
morning that prison was empty of all inmates
but its officers, aud ready to be devoted to other
nses than that ot incarcerating men and women
guilty ol owing sums wliich they could not pay.
The credit ol abolishing in France imprison
ment lor debt not, indeed, for the first, but I
truet for the last time I jud?e la mainly due to
jjapoleon himself. His upholders, the self
et led conservatives of that country, still blindly,
obstinately cling to every venerab lu abuse, to
each moss-grown iniquity, each barnacled op
pression, as though Uiiuich and State would
tumble into chaos if it were given up. "Liberty,
indeci 1 What docs France wantol more liberij?
Would you have Robespierre and Marat, the
Terrorists, with their Noyades, back aiio, to
butcher us as our grandfathers aud grandmothers
wire butchered? Nol we have at length the
tiger cnged and muzzled at a fearful cost let us
take cure to keep him sol" To this large, pow
erful, apprehensive, determined class the
owners and masters of France Louis Napoleon
is but a tool, a truncheon, a weapon; should
be break in their hands, they must be quick
to grasp another if possible, a stronger and
better. They have many chances: ho has but
one to keep what he has clutched, knowing
that, ouce lost, it can never be recovered nor
replaced. To maintain his hold on power he
must be, as well as seem, not merely the sword
arm of the conservatives, but their moderator
not merely necessary to them, but humauer,
wiser, more democratic than they. And,
schooled os he has been by thoso rigid pre
rectors, adversity and need, ills ciulte nrobable
that he really feels much that his cousin Jerome
Napoleon more frankly expresses, and would
fain be King of the Commons, provided the
playing of that role do not involve, a risk of
ceasing to be king at all. However this may
be, it is mora'ily certain that the abolition of
imprisonment for debt was ta'rly wrenched from
the legislative bodies by the Emperor's resolute,
persistent demaud.
The French inherit from their Roman law
givers of twenty centuries auo not only the
civil law, but the spirit which dictated it. A
xeBident among them may violate without re
proach several of the commandments (especially
the seventh) so long as he can pay;, but woe to
him who, living in Paris, cannot respond punc
tually and amply to a pecuniary demand. No
where else in Christendom is bankruptcy so
odious or so terrible.
Twelve years ago, I spent two days, by urgent
request, in the lltiisou Clichy. I had hated im
prisonment for debt before, but did not clearly
fcuow why. I hare not since been at all con
fused on that point.
Not that "jail birds" are all samples of injured
innocence, nor anything like it. Many of them
are prodigals; some are Incorrigible profligates
and swindlers. I made the acquaintance of both
of these classes duriDg my brief sojourn at No. 70
Kue Clichy. But mixed witn them were as up
right and worthy men as tread the earth
victims of fraud, ot oppression, and ot ctlme.
I met there men of diverse nationalities who
Lad been put there expressly tuat schemes of
rapacity and rascality, which they, if at liberty,
would defeat, might bo fully consummated
men whose imprisonment involve! their own
pecuniary ruin, with heavy losses to other good
men. Let me give two instances:
An Englishman of decided ability and inven
tive genius was deeply involved in the manufac
ture of a patent pail at Rouen. His French
partner, taking flight, hastily gathered up the
ready means of the firm, aud vanished. Ihe
Englishman called his creditors together, laid a
full statement of his affairs before them, was
advised by them to go on, and assured that he
should be sustained. No real creditor ot the
concern dissented. But a French sea-captain
who hid been employed by the firm and dis
charged for dishonesty, and" who actually owed
it a large sum, now set up a claim as creditor;
and, on tin claim, had the remaining partner
arrested and imprisoned. ' The feather was a
keavy one; the camel's back was already b?nt;
the concern must go to wreck, and hone3t credi
tors be defrauded outot many thousands, to glut
the vengeful malice of a siue'e villain.
Again; A London merchant lailed, owing
heavily. His exhibit was so satisfactory, how
ever, that his credUors at once said: "This is
simply misfortune; you have done no wrong,
and mutt not go under. We will sign your cer
tificates of bankruptcy and extend to you new
credits." So his debts were cleared off, his store
filled up airesh, and he began anew with fair
prospects and sanguine hopes. But among his
creditors was a French house, which wrote
him, "We, too, will trust you atresh, like your
other creditors; come over and arrange the
matter." He obeyed the invitation, called on
the French house, by which he was politely re
ceived; and the next hour saw him
pchy, not to be let out till he paid the last
farthing of their claim-JiOGO-tor his British
certificate of bankruptcy was mere waste paper
jn trance, He could have paid these by rob
bing his ether creditors, who had treatl him
o generoably; but this he vTO'ild not do choos
ing rather to write over to London to have his
goods returned to their rightful owners, his
elore given up, aud he left to rot in jail.
The world does move ! In spite ot innumera
ble frauds, and wionps, and woes, and crime,
maiAind ore less selflsh, less cruel, less brutal
than they have been. Dad as we still are, it is
eoinethlng to have lived in the age which has
witnessed the virtual overthrow of chattel
5laJier8Dllt,be abolition of imprisonment for
debt. Doubtless, there is much vet to do:

This body closed its meeting at Amsterdam by
what was termed a Brent national open air mis
sionary meeting. The gathering took place at
Vogelenzaug, a W miles from Amsterdam.
Upward of 10,000 persons assembled, and the
day was kept as a general holiday. The Rev.
Pastor Heldring opened the festival at 10
o'clock, and was lollowed by Pastor van Rhiiin
of Wassenaar, who delivered an introductory
opeech upon the subject ot Christian missions.
Mr. Locman, me secretary, then gave an
account of the state and manner of working of
the missionary associations in the KethertHiids,
after which the people divided themselves t ito
three groups belore three tribunes, from which
they were addressed m English and French,
Dutch, and German. There waR'pWuty of
singing, and some very good baud iiiumc, and at
the close of the proceedings the visitors to thu
Conference were hospitably entertained.
Ou tbe preceding day, Lord Ifalctock, on
behalf of the English visitors, and Dr. Crime, on
the part of the Americans, expressed their sense
of the handsome ruauner in which they had
been entertained. The entertainment of so
many visitors must have entailed considerable
cost Aboat three hundred and fifty sal down
every day to dinner while the Conference lasted,
in addition to which excursions to various points
of interest in Ihe neighborhood and free admis
sions to the Zoological Gardens and evening
concerts were nrrauged for by the executive
committee. Nothing seems to have been left
undone to insure the comfort of their guests.
The King of tbe Netherlands gave a liberal
donation towards the expenjies of the Conference
A Shnrp Letter from liishop Colenso.
Ihe following loiter appeared recently in
the Mcoliman. At is oirected to Mr. Henry Mon
cri( ft :
"BisHoretowu, Natal, May 10, 1867. Sir:
my attention has been called to an address de
livtrrd byjou to the Young Men s Christian
Association at Ulasgo'v, on January 14. In that
hiiiircss, as reported by the Scotsman of January
10, you have charted me indirectly with dis
honesty, dupilctty, and cowardice, and you have
stated oirecily as follows: 'I have not read
Bishop Colenso's book, I must fairly avow..
liitiOp C'olcn?o doubts whether the Pentateuch
io inspired. It is a strancre doubt for a bishop
of the Church of England.' I venture to think
that before attacking publicly in this way an
absent man It would have btn right for you, as
a Chrittiau addressing a 'Christian Association'
ol young men, to have first assured yourself of
thetrutn of the accusations which you made
ngninst me by lirft reading tho book which you
confess not to have read.
"In a letfer published 1n the Guardian about
two j ears ago, when 1 was in England, I gave
a positive contradiction to a similar statement
made in that journal, as 1 now do to yours. I
have denied that the Bible is in every line and
letter infallibly true; I have denied that the
Pentateuch is the work of a single writer or of
a single nee. I have not 'insinuated doubts,'
but in the most open manner have stated my
disbelief of the Mosaic authorship of certain
portions of the Pentateuch, and I have laid
openly bclore all meu my reasons for holding
these opinions, which are not peculiar to my
self, but shared by the great majority of Biblical
critics. . But 1 have never denied or doubted its
Inspiration, or rather the inspiration of its
writers. And I now call upon you, as a Chris
tian gentlemen, either to prove by quotations
fioni my book that I have denied or doubted it,
or else to express publicly your regret for so
grave a misstatement, which, coming
lrom an eminent lawyer accustomed to
weigh evidence and not to trust to popular
clamor, is the more surprising, and, you must
aMow mr to say, the more unjubtidable. If you
lnenn to say that I have denied the infallibility
ot the Pentateuch, or of the Bible generally, that
IB perfectly true. I believe that to be a most
dangerous dopma, and likely to land many who
attempt to adopt it into iutidelity. But the in
fallibility ot henpture Is a totally different thing
from its inspiration, or rather, as I have said,
from the inspiration of its writers. I request
your perusal of the copy which I Bend by this
fiost of the first two sermons preached by me on
anding in this diocese, and would call your
attention especially to the language used by me
In page G and rage 8. These sermons form part
of a volume published in England, and there
fore ccetsible to you, if you really wished to
know my views before making jour remarks
u on them, at the time when your address was
delivered. 1 beg the favor of jour sending any
reply which you may think it right to send to
this fetter to the Weekly -Scotsman, to which I
shall forward a copy of this for publication.
"I am, sir, yours taithiully, J. W. Natal."
Last of a Famous lilockade llunner.
Admiral Simon, commauder of the French
flpet in Greek waters, eives the following account
of the destruction of the lamous Dlockade
runner Arcadi, one better known in Western
waters as the Conlederate war ship Sumter:
"On Monday morning, the 20th of August,
after I had received some women and children
at Selino, I tailed for St. Koumeli to take others
from that port. Dunn? the day the captain of
the Izzedin, a larpe Turkish steamer, which
cast anchor near m.y ship, visited me, and told
me that on the previous evening the Arcadi
had been to St. Koumeli, and landed a part of
her cargo; but not having sufficient tine
to discharge the rest, she had sailed
for Gabdon, and that he expected her
back on Monday evening, when he intended
to attack her. On Monday afiernoon, after I
embarked the women and children, I started
for Athens; but two hours afterwards I heard
guns behind me. Going on deck I saw in
tbe distance two steamers, one chasing the
other, and fighting. In a short time they ap
proached me, and I saw that one was the
Arcadi and the other the Izzedin. The Izzedin
reached the Arcadi and gave her a broadside, to
which the Arcadi replied in the show manner.
As soon as the two steamers wote close together
thesuilors began firing with their rifles. While the
fipht was hottest, two Turkish men of-war made
their app arance round tbe Cape of Krio-metopo.
The position of the Arcadi iheu became very peri
lous. At that moment the captain of the
Arcadi, with great presence of mind and cool
ness, turned his little steamer, faced the three
enemy's vessels, and parsed through them at
full speed, amidst a tremendous fire from
the large guns, and a shower of bul
lets. The Arcadi soon approached the land,
and after coasting some distance along tho
small bay, arrived near the Cape of Krio-metopo,
where the captain ran her aground in order to
save ihe crew. The right lasted till 1 o'clock in
the mornhip. At that time the three Turkish
vessels cast anchor near the Arcadi. I heard
a rhrp firing of rifles durirg the rest of
the night, and stayed uDtil morning to ascertain
the rotult. I then saw the Arcadi In flames,
but I could not learn whether she had been
fiied by her captain or by the enemy. The
Turkish beats were full of wounded, who were
transported to tbe Turkish vessels, and the
Izzedin steamed away in a very damaged con
dnion." LUMBER.
