THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1860. M. Koeljcr and SI. Kmlle CHIrler. JFYwn the London dalurday Reveto. M. Roaber must Lb aooustomwl by tb.U time to the neoeB6ry thongU invidious offljs of tbrowirg oYeiboarrt the Jjuali ot the Hilnnte. Iu oonrwrt witU bis Iuipavial niastnr be bat r. duoed the process to a system. The appearance of the Minister or Stat, whether on the fluid of discussion or of action, usually btalda the disgrace of a colleague or the abandonment of a polior. There is no conti nuity between what he iays or does and whit hs been tsaid or done by any other metnbsr of the Government. The explanation of his conduct must usually be looked for in the attitude of the Opposition. lis has learnt by intuition or practice the extreme polut.to which resistance can be pushed with safety, and bis special function ia the Cabinet seem ingly is to announce when that point has been reached. Mr. Disraeli played a similar part more than onoe iu the session of 18G7, but M. Ronher has to include the country as well as the Legislature in Lis calculations, and the demands on bis acutenees are so much the more serious in consequence. It is hard to say whether the i Prefeoi of the Seine or the Minister of the In terior bas most cause te smart under the latest exhibition of this useful talent, li iron llauaeniann has beem disowned, M. de For cade La Roquette Las been ignored. Neither sensation can be altogether pleasant, but per haps of the two suflerers M. de Foroade La Ro quette deserves commiseration most. The Perfect of the Heine may well have been startled at bearing that be, and not the Em peror, is responsible for the reconstruction of Paris. Bill, when the first surprise was over, there was an appreciable dignity in the posi tion thus unexpectedly assigned to him. To have spent 8,01)0,000 invests a man with some Importance, even when be has been only an agent, and he certainly does not lose in this respect if it is suddenly discovered that he has been laying it out at bis own pleasure. Uut . the Minister of the Interior has no suoh consolation. lie was suffered to defend the administration of Paris in the Corps - Legislatif, in the undisturbed belief that the Kniperor had been the real arointed of every new street. Acting on this theory, M. de Forbade La Roquette constructed an ingenious and. even eloquent apology, lie appealed directly to the vanity, and indirectly to the fears, of the French middle class. Under the empire Taris has become the capital of modern society, and the change in its ex terior aptly symbolizes the exaltation of its position. The gaze of the civilized world is fixed in reverent admiration upon the straight streets and high houses which constitute the Napoleonic; ideal of architectural grandeur. To be sure, a good many of them have been oonstruoted ' in quarters where they are not wanted, but this does but establish the fore sight of the government. Tuese now deserted .thoioughfares will one day be peopled, and if the worK ,. naa been delayed a few years it would only have been more costly In the end. And then lust think of the workmen it employs 1 What might all these skilled artisans have turned their thoughts to if their strong arms and active brains bad been left without proper occupation ? Who shall say how many insur rections Baron Uaussmann may not have un wittingly suppressed t Take care of the building trade, and sooiety will take care of itself. Nor is it only the men's working hours that have been thought of. Their own labor baa been made the means of keeping them contented during their intervals of leisure. rm . a a - f at i f.a i f i ) xnose oojeois oi luxury wuu wnion me clitics of the Corps Lcgislatif find so much fault are so many places of reoreation for the artisan when the fatigues of the day are over. t i v. . v.:Mt 1. 1 1 n H Ala UBD UCOU UUllUlAJg W tD wen Ha for others. When M. Ronher rose, all this pretty theory fell to pieces. There was not a word in his speech about the advantages which Paris ha? derived from Baron Haussmann's administra tion. The most prononnoed member ol the opposition could not have shewn a more ioy indifference to those sentimental considera tions on whioh the Minister of the Interior has rested his oase. Instead of defending what the Emperor had done, he boldly denied that he had done it. To make the Sovereign re- it sponsible for the administration of the oity of L Daass 1 4 a 4v ststvm wi 1 1 m ilnnlrtwoKlA aa 19 j. ill la 10 v uviuuii m upjivi hviv oiivti The idea of a regenerated Paris may have been the Emperor's; but it is the execution of the idea that is now subjected to attack, and the responsibility of this lies with those who un dertook the work. Having thns shifted the possible blame from the Emperor's shoulders to those of Baron Baussmann, M. Rouher could afford to say a word or two in extenua tion of his scapegoat's conduot. The impres sion left by bis speech is that, in his opinion, the Prefeot has rather mud dled away money than otherwise, but that his intentions have been honest all along. The prerogatives of the Legislature have been too often disregarded, "but the mistake will not ooonr again." Perhaps the present is not the right time for contracting a fresh loan, and it is natural that the Corps Lt'gislatif should be indisposed to leave it to Baron Uaussmann to determine when that time has arrived. The necessities of the case will be S best met by allowing the Government to A authorize the loan when it shall seem expe dient. M. Ollivier has said, with some truth, that it is essential p the sucoess of M. Rouher's method that be should have the last word; and, if bis speech had not come, as it usually does, at the close of the debate, the result could hardly have been claimed as a triumph by the opposition. The real concession offered by M. Ronher was extremely small. It was invested with some importance by the fact that it was made in the teeth of a 'fellow-Minister, but when viewed apart from this accidental ciroumstance it scarcely amounts to anything. It Is well that the pre rogative of the Chamber should be respected for the future, but the value of the promise is a good deal lessened by its being virtually de pendent on the willingness of the Deputies to leave the bands of the Government wholly untied. Indeed, a little reflection seems to have convinced the Opposition that M. Rouher's surrender was only one in appearance. Three days later, when the report of the committee again came before the Chamber, the Left sup ported1 an amendment in favor of a direct and 1 . It . 1 . A 1 v uuiueaiaie loan ratner man one 10 u cuu- , tracted through the medium of the Credit trwuoier and under the control of the Govern ment." A division was insisted on, and though ibe Government bad a large majority, yet the 'minority were able to command 'Jl votes. J I oMUinly loeks as if M. Rouher's position in the Cabinet, of whioh he is the moving principle, was. on the eve t,f beiDg seriously compromised. The publication of M. Olllvier's sanative oinia negotiations with the Empe ror in connection with the famous letter of the litih of January helpB to make it clearer wbat this position really Is. In the beginning Of 1807 the Emperor was halting between two opinions, and this is probably a fairly aoonrate description of him in the beginning of 18u9. At one time be iuollnes to the "crowning of the edifice;" at another he fears that if be loses bis hold on the country, be may not ba able to get it again if he wants it. When be made bis overtures to M. Ollivier, the first of these feelings was uppermost, and bis desire to secure the Opposi tion deputy as a Minister probably implied an intention of dismissing M. Rouher, wuu lepreeems me opposite idea, liat tn innuenoe of the Minister of State Droved too I great to be overthrown, and the leading objeot of the Government during the two years watch have since elapeed has been to maintain the statu quo. The means which M. Ronher pre fers for tbe attainment of this end are emi nently elastic lie showed the utmost civility to M. Ollivier when it was on the oartta that he might supplant him any day, and he will dioniiss with equal composure a colleague whose only offense bas been a too strict execu tion of bis own instructions. Why he has opposed himself so unreservedly remember ing some of nts recent displays, one might almost add, so passionately to any reconcilia tion of the empire with liberty oaunot ba said with certainty. It maybe that he distrusts his own aptitude for a new system, and fears that its adoption would throw the Kmpsror ii recoverably into the hands of some parlia mentary politician. It may be that he dis trusts bis countrymen, and is genuinely con vinced that the empire cannot dispense with the safeguards to which it has been accus tomed for seventeen years. Whatever may be bis motive, there seems to be little doubt that he has identified laimself too closely with repressive legislation to be chosen as the iu sti ument for carrying out any other. If the Emperor wishes to change his policy he must change bis instruments also. That Ills M jesty feels this himself is rendered extremely probable by M. Olllvier's revelations. The fetter of tbe llhh of January showed how strongly tbe Emperor's mind wai leaning 'in . 1 l r i;i i c . . 1 . . . . me direction oi uoerai reiormt; me extent to which it bas remained a dead letter ever since proves his unwillingness to dispense with M. Ronher. But to play such a part as the Minister of State has chosen for himself re quires something more than a succession of doubtful victories. A constitutional minister may be content with a working majority, how ever small; the minister of an absolute sove reign must annihilate as well as defeat oppo sition. It is his failure to do this consistently that constitutes the danger of M. Rouher's potition, and M. Maupas' recent crusade in favor of a responsible ministry is sullioieut evidenoe that M. Ollivier will not want suc cessors among Bonapartista as well as among democrats. FOREIGN ITEMS. The French papers attribute a mot to Lamartine, for which, had he been still alive, they would scarcely, we should think, have liked to make him responsible. Some one asked the poet whether he was not spending too much money in advertising his publica tions. "No," he is reported to have answered, "advertisements are absolutely necessary. Even Divine worship" (in the original, le bon Duu) "needs advertising. Otherwise what is the meaning of church bells ?" It is well known that a strong desire pre vails among the more liberal and progressive members of tbe universities to shake off the exclusive clerical ascendancy whioh has hitherto damped their energies and dimi nished tbeir natural iniluence. A step bas just been taken in this direction by the fel lows of Oriel College, Oxford, whioh will probably be followed by other colleges. There is at present no express rule against the provesuhip being held by a layman, but cer tain clerioal benefices which go with it practi cally amount to a prohibition. The objeot of the bill which has just been introduced into the House of Lords ia first to disannex those benefices from the provostehip, then to exchange them for livings, and to apply part of the prooeeds of the latter to make up the income of the pro voat ship, whioh would then be open equally to laymen and clergymen. Ore of the benefices in question is a canon ry in Rochester .Cathedral, involving, of course, tbe usual three months' residence; and the other is the rectorship of an important parish (Burleigh, in liseex) of 3,000 or 4,000 aores, with an income of XI 800. It is, of course, obviously impossible for the provost of an Oxford college even to pretend te discharge the dutUs ot a distant oanonry and rectory in a proper manner. Complaints are louder than ever in' the theatrical world of Paris against that impost for the benefit of the poor which presses so bard on the theatres, and to whioh more than one of the recent bankruptcies has been at tributed. The tax owes its origin to a deoree of Louis XIV, dated February 25. 1GD9, which, on the ground that plays and operas ought to contribute a portion of tneir "con siderable profits" to works of charity, direoted that a sixth part of the receipts should be ap propriated to the poor. To any reasoning that may be based on this decree the opponents of the tax objeot, that it was made at a time when there were but two or three theatres in Paris, and on the assumption that these enter prises were large profitable. In 1713 the tax was extended to the dramatio performances at the then fashionable fairs of St. Germain and St. Laurent. In 1718, by a deoree of the Regent, a ninth was added to the sixth for the especial advantage of the Hotel Dieu, and in 1744 the amount was fixed at one quarter. This enormous burden continued for several years, but in 1791 the tax was suppressed alto gether. However, on tbe llthNivose ot the year IV (January 1, 179(5), a decree appeared which invited all the managers of Paris and the depaitments to give a monthly performance, the profits of which, after payment of all ex penses, were to be given to the poor, and au thorizing them to treble their prices on suoh occasions. This decree was followed by another of thevth Frinialre V (November 27, IVi'O). which ordered that for the following six months the directors of publio entertainments should reoeive, in addition to the price of admission paid by every spectator, a premium of "2 sols per livre" (10 per cent.), to be applied to charitable pnipoees. Then the authorities evieently wii-bed to impress the public with the notion that they were shifting the burden from one pair of shoulders to another, though in reality it remained where it was, though less oppres sive limn in early days. Renewed from time to time, for successive terms of six months, tbe 10 per cent, tax was rendered permauent by an imperial decree of December 29, 1809. Then, bowever, it is remarked that about two years previously tbe theatres, w hioh had been tortv in number, bad been suddenly re duced by tbe imperial fiat to eight, four of wLich were liberally "subventioued." Thus, tbe burden was oounterbalanoed by an incal culable advantage. In 18 Is an attempt was made to reduce the tax to 5 per cent., but it was not carried out, and though by the doree of January 5, 1804, the "Liberty of the Thea tres" was declared, the principles of the year V are maintained in all their rigor. Iu Eng land scarcely a person would be found to deferd this monstrous tax, whioh consists ia making one small Itranou oi inanstry contri bute exceptionally towards the benefit of the entire community. TVia vlnkftLnrir J iuict says that mint Jnleps and gln oooktalli were drunk In Nat chta in tbe year 1B08. A copy of tbe Nt chcx Uazitte of that year Indirectly refers to tbe fact. A Mmpbls jury Laving convicted a prl rocer of murdering a man who it still alive, found themselves in a quandary whether to rtecicd their verdict or let the prisoner kill hid man and justify it.
