THE CRISIS IN FRANCE IMPERIALISM
IN PERIL.
From the X. r. Herald.
lhe latent news from France is or a
Very alarming character. Oahle telegrams
report mont exciting (lenionstrntioiiH ly
large crowds asHoinbloil in the Montmartre
district, clmrgos of cavalry ou tho pooplo,
attempts to erect barricades and their frus
tration ly tho police A number of news
paper editors were arrested, and several
iress Hoizures made by order. Napoleon and
Eugenie drove through the disturbed district,
ami were, we are informed, cheered enthusi
astically by immeiiso assemblages of people.
The result of the elections, which has proved
a cause of rejoicing to lovers of liberty all
over tho world, has been accepted generally
in Franco as a triumphant protest against im
perialism. We do not recollect any great
event in theso last years which has been
commented upon with such una
nimity by French, German, English, and
American journals. As the details
reach lis from different quarters, it is made
the more manifest that the result of the Paris
elections called forth the same judgment
everywhere that the one-man government
vas doomed. This judgment was confirmed
when it gradually became known how matters
Lad gone in the other large cities and in the
departments. Tho International puts it
strongly, but riot too strongly, when it says
that Paris has declared that "it is no longer
contented with a government which is neither
personal government nor the government of
the country by tho country, nor despotism,
nor liberty." As proof that tho feeling is in
tense, we are told that the disturbances in
Nnntes were much more serious than at first
reported, and that they were suppressed with
difficulty. The dangerous character of the
fut nation, despite the cheers, is mado mani
fest by the announcement that M. Persigny,
one of the stanchest friends and most trusted
advisers of the Emperor, has written to his
master recommending tho introduction of
further liberal reforms.
There are many, of course, who take a mild
View of the situation, and who do their best
to exjilain away the alarming character of tho
facts. According to such persons, France is
exercising a now-found privilege and rioting
Somewhat in a new-found liberty. Opposition
is sweet in sich circumstances; but from its
Apparent strength large deductions must
always be made in order to arrive at a correct
measurement of its actual force. Hy some
it is argued that the Emperor has himself pro
voked the disturbances, in order to create a
pretext for withdrawing the reforms he has
granted, or rather that, with a view to catch
his friends and the lovers of order gouerally
throughout the empire, he has gone far
enough, and that further concessions would
le dangerous. By others again it is argued
that the Emperor has been fully prepared for
all that has happened; that he is not at all
Burprised; and that he will go on, in spite of
all appearances to the contrary, humoring the
French people, granting further reforms, and
gradually reconciling them, in spite of them
selves, to Bonapartism.
Our view of tho situation is different. It is
our opinion that Napoleon the Third desires,
above all things, to establish the Bonapartes
on the throne of France. He has never been
forgetful, ;since he became Emperor, at least,
of the fate of the first Ciesar. It has been his
ambition to imitate the role of the second.
Augustus, without his weaknesses, has been
model, Rome was not sick of Cassar because
so-called patriots murdered him. Augustus
liad a great success; his name is associated
with the palmiest days of the empire; he had
the honor of establishing the dynasty, and
the name of Caesar remained a power until tho
empire fell. If this view be correct, no one
must for a moment imagine that Napoleon
will give up the fight. Of all living men he
knows, perhaps, the most about the require
ments of the times. He has his plans and his
purposes, and, what is better, he knows the
standards and conditions according to which
these plans and purposes must be fashioned,
lie wishes to leave his son his successor, and
Bo long as brain remains to him he will labor
at any cost and sacrifice to this end. From
this point of view, and from no other, can the
Situation in France at the present moment be
properly looked at or correctly understood.
What, then, is Napoleon most likely to do ?
He may not refuse to grant further reform.
Very probably he will not. But reform, in
lhe shape of increased liberty, will not be
granted to the French people on any other
principle than that which we have mentioned.
It must first of all have a relation to the secu
rity of his own position, and secondly to the
welfare of his dynasty. It must admit the
necessity of Napoleon the Third, and it must
make plain the way to tho succession of Napo
leon the Fourth.
We are not, therefore, unwilling to believe
that the immediate result of the elections will
Je a gentle and agreeable humoring of French
feeling and desire. But concession will not
1)6 allowed to wear about it the garb of timi
dity. The Emperor must not seem to yield
to compulsion. There may be allowed a little
larger license to the press; the right of public
meeting may be loss restrained; but it will
not be permitted that these reforms be abused.
If, however, these should not toll, and tell im
mediately, it may be taken for granted that
Napoleon will, without delay, give an out
ward direction to French discontent. His
popularity of late years has waned, and he
knows it, largely, because he has not been
Bufficiently willing to right. He has shown
himself a lover of peace even in circum
stances of great provocation. But he is not
tho man to allow any desire, any opinion
any theory to stand between him and the
object of his life. Francois unquestionably
Bore because France has been taught to be
lieve that Prussia has become a powerful
and dangerous rival, chiefly through the mis
taken policy of the Emperor. Prussia has
l)ecome somewhat arrogant. The humbling
of Trussia, especially if that humbling would
imply the restoration of tho boundaries of
1H14, would be a gratification to the entire
French people. A war with Prussia is the
way of escape out of a great difficulty. If no
other way of escape can be found, and no
other such way at the moment seems possible,
war with Prussia may be considered certain.
It is a terrible extremity tC be reduced to;
lut it is a stronghold to which the Emperor
Will flee as a prisoner of hope when all other
refuges fail. Bismark knows this, and Bis
inark is now ready.
"OLD WOOD TO BURN."
from, tht X. Y. Tribune.
Eight thousand children coming home tho
Mher day to keep the old Mother a one hun
dred and fiftieth birthday, shaking hands
heartily under the hospitable sky, remember
Jag proudly tliat wotLci's fast and prophesy.
ing proudly her futuro, were as cheerful a
sight to see as tho sun looked upon. Derry,
sitting among tho grey rocks, in a wise sim
plicity, and calling back to her thronging de
scendants, found among them citizens of half
the Htates of the Union, Senators, Judges,
men of science, divines, collogo profes
sors, editors, poets, travellers, women of
fashion and fame. Together they re
called the days when u handful of the
sturdy Scotch-Irish, Hixteen families in all,
penetrated unknown woods, raised their for
lorn cabins, defied frost and starvation, estab
lished school and church, ami by-and-by
named the hamlet in memory of the heroism
of their fathers in Ireland forty years before
Together they revived with exultation the ex
ploits of Derry men in King William's war, in
the Colonial war, and, not without tears, re
membered their part in tho war for Union.
Together they celebrated the peaceful avoca
tions of their generation, and proved that
thrift, and skill, and ingenuity, and wit have
been the constant inheritance of the blood.
And, parting, these eight thousand people
Went awav with kinder liiwirtq tnwnr.l fhn il,1
homo and each other, and a deeper respect
for the impelling convictions that founded
that liome.
Such fostivals havo a fino sicniPieanen.
New England is bounded now by tho Pacific ou
the West as by tho Atlantic on tho E.ist.
Wherever a New Eii'dand man carries New
England ideas, she plants a colony. Her
sterile hill lots have broadened into fertile
prairies; her narrow rivers stream to tho Gulf
and the Western Ocean; her slow-increasing
villages turn cities in a night. In tho whirl
and rush of affairs, in tho heaping up of
wealth, and tho absorption of immense- and
complex interests, in a migratory life, chantr-
ing from city to city and from house to
house, and in the contact with all nation
alities, the sentiment of homo-loving and
home-keeping gets somewhat dulled, tho dis
tinctive characteristics of American civiliza
tion are somewhat worn away, and tho old
years and the old friends and the
old influences are somewhat forgotten.
New York is flattered at being
called the New Paris; Chicago is
pleased with being likened to New York;
Omaha and Denver emulate Chicago. And
this is not through a feeling of kinshin. but
of rivalry. It is a mad race for wealth and
the things of wealth. Now New York ought
not to bo a second Paris, or a second any
thing. None but herself should be her
parallel. She should develop a new and larger
civilization, because her conditions are new
and large. The artificial fineness of the Old
World does not belong to her. Nor should
Chicago repeat New York. The life that is
in her should express her. And Omaha and
Denver doubtless have an individuality of
their own which is better than anything thev
can borrow. The cities will come to this
direct and honest expression as their citizens
come to live their own lives. And no help to
this good end is more potent than standing
within tho influence of lives that were direct
and honest.
Frenchmen and Englishmen, heirs of ages
of magnificent national existence and enor
mous national wealth, kindle their patriotism
and cement their brotherhood with tho con
templation of their wonderful conquests. The
neirs 01 two centuries ot struggling tor civil
and religious liberty; heirs of hardship over
come and poverty cheerfully borne: heirs of
grand political ideas nursed by that very
hardship and poverty, must kindle our patri
otism and cement our brotherhood by tho
contemplation and remembrance of these in
heritances. When the homely old New Eng
land places call us back to the fourth and fifth
generation, it will bo well to go with eager
ness. Perhaps the very name of the mossy
town has a hint of heroism, like this London
deny. At least the tie of close kinship of
common blood will warm our hearts, and
make us sensitive to the influences of tho
timo. And these influences will be a generous
friendship, which will forget all boundaries of
States; a fresh remembrance of valor, and
unselfishness, and simplicity; a fresh desire
to live our broader lives as nobly as they
whose names wo bear lived their narrow ones
so many years ago; an impulse to carry back
into tho daily existence from which we came
a genuineness that it had somewhat lacked; a
conviction that we, too, have received tho
high commission to loave the world better
than we found it. Every mother's birthday
feast that is made is a wise festival, because it
draws children's hearts nearer together in
rejoicing, and the- birthday of a venerable
village, whose children are so many that they
do not know each other's faces, must bo best
of all.
ELECTION BRIBERY.
From the A. 1'. WvrUl.
It seems that the wisdom of tho British
Parliament, in providing what they hoped
would be a guarantee for tho purity of elec
tions, is foolishness. This guarantee was in
the shape of a law providing t hat a defeated
candidate might bring an action against his
successful rival,, to be tried before a judge in
the town where the election had been held,
and that, if he could prove to tho satisfaction
of the judge that bribery of any kind had
been resorted to by the successful candidate
or his agents, or that ho or they
had obtained votes by intimidation, the
election should be set aside, a fine should
be imposed on the guilty parties,
and tho seat given to tho candidate who
had been defrauded out of it. This law came
into effect at the general election for mem
bers of Parliament last fall. At this election,
bribery and intimidation were practised to a i
greater extent than ever before; and it was
said that there was scarcely a district in the
three kingdoms in which the successful can
didate had not, either in person or by deputy,
laid himself open to these penalties. The
preliminary expenses of conducting tho trial
provided for by the law, however, were heavy;
and, therefore, only about one-sixth of tho
whole number of members elected were com
pelled to defend themselves before the courts.
Six hundred and fifty-eight gentlemen had
been elected; one. hundred and two of them
were haled before the judges. Those one
hundred and two trials have been going on in
different parts of tho country for the last six
months. The last one ended a few days ago.
lhe result is that in twenty-two of them
the Biiccessful candidate was found guilty
and deprived of his seat; in tho other
eighty cases the suit was withdrawn or the
prosecution failed It i. remarkable that all
of the cases which resulted in unseating a
member were those first tried, the judges, in
these cases, having not yet fully made up
their minds as to the loop-holes and quibbles
of the new law, and deciding against the ac
cused on plain, dimple, and broad principles
But, after a score of cases had boon thus disl
posed of, the decisions suddenly changed their
character; the weak points of the law were
ascertained; the evidence seemed made to suit
them; and nothing but acquittals followed.
The prevailing belief in England now seems
to be that the judges have taken great pains
to point out just how a candidate may evade
the law, and that, if an election were to be
Lvlil to-morrow, bribery, corruption, fcud in- I
timidation would be practised more exten
sively than ever, but in so skilful a
way that not a singli candidate pmiU
j lw unseated. The candidate mint not give
money to buy votes; but his friends miv
vnunu n. iu no uiiurrNUMKi iiiai no ono who
votes for him shall loso anything bv it- hn
must not give meat and drink on the condi
tion that he who eats and drinks must vote
for him, but ho may hire all tho public houses
of the town to regale his friends; he must not
threaten a voter with personal punishment
or immediate loss of employment if he votes
the wrong way, but ho may causo it to be
understood that the man who votes the wrong
way will have a hard time of it. And if a
candidate violates neither of these three rules,
he may do whatever else ho pleases with
snfetv. The new system, it seems, instead
of making bribery and intimidation daiverous
to those who uso them, will only mako
them more safe and powerful than ever, if
they aro used with discretion. The simple
moral of all which is, that purity of elec
tions cannot bo secured by legislation; if
there aro voters to be bribed, tho ingenuity
of man is sufficient to deviso moans for brib
ing them in spite of all laws to tho contrary.
Tho remedy is to bo sought in another direc
tion; the voter is to bo taught that to sell his
vote is as disgraceful as it would be to sell his
wife; and when ho has once learned this les
son, tho occupation of bribers will be gone.
In Scotland, where almost every man is edu
cated, and where a vory high sense of tho
dignity of citizenship prevails, there was no
bribery, and the only illegality in the lato
election consisted in intimidation. In Eng
land, on tho other hand, where half tho voters
look upon tho franchise as part of their in
come, and demand a price for their vote with
no more shame than they would demand to bo
paid for a day's labor, bribery was universal,
and there was little intimidation.
CUBA WELL LOST.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
In a debate in the Cortes on tho 2.1th of last
month, tho present head of Spain was pro
voked to avow that tho hatred of Cubans to
the Spanish Government is too great to be
appeased or converted, and, ho might have
added, conquered. Ho further acknowledged
that men who, at tho time of his Captain
Generalship under tho Ministry of O'Dounell,
were his devoted friends and counsellors, are
now leading tho insurgents, or aro among the
exiles in New York straining every nerve for
their cause. Hero is a dismal admission for
Spain, and this, too, from the man who is to
become her Regent, and, perhaps, practically
her President. It speaks reluctantly tho unani
mous opinion of every friend of the Spanish
administration in Cuba, and virtually confesses
what Captain-General Duleo and Major-Gen.
Mena have of late more boldly said, that tho
island this timo is lost to the mother country.
It is worth remembering that both Marshal
Serrano and Generid Dulce were onco mem
bers of a commission of information ap
pointed in IS.", 7 to testify as to the reform ne
cessary to the island, and then declared to
tiueeu Isabella that without speedy redress of
its grievances it would be hopelessly alienated.
General Dulce has seen his misgivings verified
to tho letter, and felt tho fatality of opnosin"
an earnest revolution with bankruptcy and
ouuiuiy, vuim in iutii, io opaiu, ana worse
man lost, .very soldier sent out for her
conquest is a traitor to authority, and repre
sents so much dearly-bought money thrown
into a flood. "
Tho Spanish Minister at Washington is re
ported to be exceedingly anxious as to the sit
uation of the authorities in the island. Seeing
that his brother, the political Governor at L
vaua, contemplates his bodily escape out of
the crisis, this does not surprise us. Tho best
art of the ambassador will be required to show
us in what way Spain still keeps possession of
her territory, and how it is possible for us at
present to respect her authority. If we recog
nize the rebels who have expelled General
Dulce and installed a regime of slave-traders,
we surely do offense to those at whoso hands
the late Captain-General received his commis
sion. If we recognize the Presidont and Con
gress at Giiaimaro, we are still liable to dis
please the friends of those Castilian leaders
who insist that they did us good offices in our
own hour of difficulty. But we see not how
Spain can help acknowledging what is now
plain to the world, that her Cuban possession
is gone utterly in forfeit to her misuse of
opportunities, means, men, lands, and what
ever wealth God gives to a country for the
prospering of peoples. Cuba will be free
instead of slave, and tho Spanish race will ho
the gainer for all that Spanish misgovern mont
has forfeited. Her possession will be well lost
if Spain but learn to take honest care of her
people at home. Sho is well rid of an heir
loom of her barbarism if she can turn intro
spective eyes upon her own condition and
consolidate freedom, rather than vainly cling
to empire.
One other consideration seems to point to
the Spanish need of renouncing the province
in the tropics. Minister Figuerola's count of
costs fur carrying on the Government of Saain
amounts to the great sum of .lt'l.',(),()0(),()()(),
while the budget contemplated by the Repub
licans of tho Cortes is no more than $!(), t )()(), -()().
The deficit in tho minister's estimate
reaches the serious sum of !.",000,00, and
we now hear, through tho cable, that he has
announced the impossibility of reducing his
budget. Tho conviction of this news may
alarm Spain, but it is auspicious to Cuba, and
we doubt not the mother country will find it
better to save fifty-five millions than to waste
fifty-five millions more for tho conquest of a
ruin.
THE LAST OF THE TASMANIANS.
From the X. Y. Times.
Tho last of the aboriginal Tasnianians (or
natives of Van Dieinnn s Land) is dead; and
there has been a horrible squabble among tho
doctors for the possession of his bones.
There aro many historical illustrations of tho
fact that the Anglo Saxon is the exterminator
of the races whose territory he seizes; but
nowhere can an example of this be found
more striking and complete, or in which the
processes have been more rapid, than that of
the Tasmaniann.
It is but sixty-six years since tho EnglisTi
mado their appearance in Van Dieman's land.
A short time previously, tho English Govern
ment had learned that it was an island, and
resolved to turn it into a penal colony. Tho
first party that landed there consisted of a
small body of soldiers and convicts; and, in
reading the narrative of the circumstances, wo
are reminded of similar incidents in tho his
tory of our own country, where tho red man
and the white have some in contact. It is re
corded that when the English appeared, a
little troop 'of native men, women, and chil
dren came down to the shore bearing braches
that they meant for olive-branches. But the
English 1 pfficer, being suspicious, angrily
waved them off", und they, not under
standing his gestures, gathered quickly
around a water-hole. Thereupon he or
dered his men to fire into them, which
was done with fatal effect. This was an in
troduction after the usual English fashion
a fashion, which, to the present day, ,
they practise with outside barbarians." A
number of years passed away without any
s rious outbreak of hostilities; but, in course
of timo, the natives began to take ground
against the intruders, while each side accused
the other of depredations on person and pro
perty. Whenever they got a fair or an unfair
chance (says an English writer) the Rottlers
let the black man feel the weight of their
hands, and mado very free with tho black
women. Then, a bloody internecine war
was waged between the blacks anil whites in
(he island; (he whites raised the cry of exter
mination, and the most allocking barbarities
were perpetrated. After years of this work
the aborigines were pretty well thinned out.
In 1K.",(, a man who must be supposed to
have been either a Quaker or a Quixote
offered to go out peacefully among the
natives and secure tho submission of tho
tribes, and in five years ho had led every
Tasmanian tribe to peaceful submission,
after which they were placed by themselves in
an island off tho coast of Van Dieman's land.
But still they rapidly dwindled away, ro that
in 1h;(7 bnt ;!()( were left; in l.siio but If; and
now comes the account of tho death of tho
last of tho Tasnianians an account which
tells how his head was cut off and sent to
London, his feet and hands cut off for exhi
bition elsewhere, while the burial service
was read over the poor wretch's trunk, footless
and headless, and furnished with another
man's head.
And now nearly a hundred thousand white
people inhabit Tasmania, and think nothing
of the aboriginal race that they have utterly
exterminated in less than half a century. Such
are some of tho incidents that mark the pro
gress oi Angio-Nixon civilization round the
world.
