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.

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

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.
