X, THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 18G0. CIRCUMSTANTIAL LVnr JE. Many ycnr dro bo many thfit I don t cnre to reckon tbe exact number it was my lot to paB a Krcat.leidof my time in n. A tear relative had married and wttled in what may be called the very centre of ,that co rnitry the former province of Horrf-and to his bouse I nU Jgo during my achool holiday my collet vacation, and my army loaye 01 fhJnce. Near the chateau whore my relative Sved was one of thone amall French towns which, being out of the way of the busy wor d life in which those who inhabit great capi AH live, always seem to mo the very headquarters of duUnesH and en nut. Still, such as it was, Le Ulanc was the only place within twenty imlos, or more, where a newspaper could be had a letter could be pouted, or a cigar could be rurchascd. In France, fiold sports are not it that exciting nature which they are with m To rise at 5 A. M., "tart on a tramp over cultivated ground for five or rh : hours and come home very much exhausted for the sake of bringing in a hare or a couple of par tridges, was not what-1 called shooting, and. o, during my sojourn atlSouasle, I generally confined my wanderings to the small town aforesaid. Gradually I came to know some of the people, and they began to know mo. The Maire used to come forth from his little office, where he smoked all day, and greet me almost as an old friend. The Cure, who had, as a young man, served in the Algerian army, used to look out for me, and was al ways glad to hear such tales as I had to tell rcupccting the war in India. Then tlioro were two or throe worthy souls, retired officers, who insisted upon my taking cof fee and p etits rare of cognac at their ex pense whenever they saw me in the single utreet which constituted the only thorough fare of the town, and who, when I was a very junior Lieutenant of Dragoons, insisted upon giving mo the rank of Major, always speak ing of me as "Monsieur le Commandant An glais," and addressing me with as much deference as if I had been a lieutenant-colonel of life guards. Having visited the little Elace annually for several years, as school oy, as collegian, and as officer on leave, the good people took an interest in me, and I in them. It is seldom that an Englishman gets on intimate terms with French country-people, and still more rare for him to know thoroughly the in ns and outs of all their little affairs. Such, however, was my oase with the inhabitants of Le IJlanc, and thus it was that I came to hear the tale of circumstantial evi dence which I am about to relate. There were in Le Blanc two priests, the cure and the vicaire (in France the cure is what we call the vicar, and the vienire is what we term tho curate), both of whom I knew, tho former particularly well. There was, as I knew very well, no other clergyman in the place, and no other church within ten or a dozen miles; and yet, every now and then, I used to see an elderly and most vene rable looking man, dressed in the sontane, or cassock, of a priest, walking about the neigh boring fields, and often coming out of church, as if he had been there for private devotions. After a time, being curious to know the name of this gentleman, I asked some of my friends, and they told me he was called "le pere Francois." Now, as the term "pere" is in France only applied to the clergy who belong to the reli gious orders, and as the curat, vkaires, and others are invariably called "monsieur l abbe" when spoken of, or to, I took it into my head that this old gentleman must be some sort of monk, who had perhaps forgotten, or perhaps thrown aside, his vows, and was now doing penance in this retreat for his past life. And yet there were certain facts which rendered this supposition very improbable. No man seemed, to frequent the church more than the ''pere Francois. " Kot only was he always present at the daily mass, but I often saw liiui at his private devotions in the building when no one was present, and fre quently noticed him at the altar rails as a communicant. His countenance was that of a man who had seen much trouble and gone through great grief, but by no means one which led me to think he had ever lived a bad life. And yet why Bhould he dress like a priest and not officiate as such ? Moreover, the inhabitants of the place, although always ready enough to speak of other people'8 busi ness, either would, or could, give me no in formation . respecting Pere Francois' antece dents. Whenever they were questioned about iiiiii, tbey turned the conversation into somo other channel Thus it was that, although I bad known the little town for some years, and bad seen and bowed again and again to the uiu Ail iv woo uu.jr nv uiiq ui my innv Tinua that I became acquainted with Lis history, tuid then only by mere chance. Pere Francois' real name was Cauiret Monsieur l'Abbe Caudret. Many years before I had known him shortly after the restora tion of the Bourbons in France he had gone to the ecclesiastical college of St. Sulpioe, in Paris, with the intention of studying for the Church. His conduct at that establishment had been most exemplary, and after remain ing there the usual four or five years, he had been ordained, and returned to his native diocese in the south, where he was at onoe appointed vicaire in a large town parish. In this position he had remained about six years, and when he left, on his appointment to be cure of a country parish, all his parishiouers regretted extremely his departure. He was celebrated as one of the most excellent, self denying, charitable, zealous, and yet judi cious priests in the diocese, and was equally well spoken of by hia bishop, his fellow clergy, and his parishioners. It was only after ten years spent in the most creditable exercise of his functions, that a cloud, which darkened all his after-life, cast its shadow upon him. The prtxhytere (which we should call rec tory, or vicarage) of M. Caudret's parish was situated near his church, but at some distance from the rest of the village. The latter was a very poor place, with no other village within nix or seven leagues. Between the priest's house and the church, and built about thirty yards from the foruior, was a small house, consisting of two rooms, very modestly fur nished, and called tho hospice. In this hos pice it was, and had been for many years, the custom to Drovide lodging for any stray tra veller who asked for it, and who was too poor to bo to the inn. One night a young woman called at the priest's house, and asked if she might take up her abode for the night at the hospice. She did so; and, as a heavy snow Btorm came on next day, she remained the best part of a week, the priest's housekeeper giving her tier meais iu mo aitcueu oi me nyrettbuttre. for she said she was poor, and on the way to her friends in a distant part of ranee. Un uie mm or sum mummy ui uot sojourn, as she did not make her appearance in time tor the early cup oi couee, mo uouso. keeper went to call her, and, to her horror. found the poor creature niurdereu in ner ueu. The alarm was given, and it Mas evident that a double crime had been commit ted, ren dering her murder all the more infamous. Search ww? ado, and, flosg to Jaer bed wm found ft knife which belonged to the pr;it, nnd which ho always kept in his Rtudy--a long Corsican dagger, which he had preserved for years ns ft curiosity. It was afterwards given in evidence, that when this weapon was found M. Caudret was observed to turn deadly pale, and almost to faint. Further in vestigation brought to light that from bis study window, which was on the ground floor, to the hospice, marks of a man's foot could distinctly be seen coming and going. These marks agreed exactly with a pair of shoes which were found dirty in the study, and whichibelonged to the priest. A handker chief of his was, moreover, found in the un fortunate woman's bed, and it had evidently been used ns a gng to stop her" cries. In a word, circumstances were such, and the evi dence against M. Caudret was so strong, that the Mairo considered it his duty to arrest him. The people did not know what to be lieve. Until now his character had been almost that of a saint; now he was discovered as having been guilty of the acts of a demon. He was taken to Lyons, and there, after numerous tedious interrogations beforo this and that authority, put upon trial for his life. All he could urge in his defense was, that, during the night, when the crime had been committed, he had been awoke by hearing, as he thought, somo one in his bed-room. He had called out, and asked who was there, but, receiving no answer, had dozed off again. Subsequently, but he could not say how long after, he had been again awoke by the noise, as he thought, of his study-window being opened. He had got up, gone into the study, but, seeing nothing to justify his alarm, had imagined he must have beeu dreaming, and had gone to bed again. In tho morning ho had awoke rather later than usual, and missed both his pocket-handkerchief and a pair of shoes that had been the night before in his bed-room. The former ho thought he must have dropped somewhere during tho day; and ho was just going to inquire for tho latter, when the alarm of tho murder was given, and he had rushed out to see what was the mat ter. This much, and his antecedents, were all he could urge in his defense. In fact, the accusation seemed to come upon him like a blow, and to deprive him of all energy. "With ns in England every accused man is supposed to be innocent until he is proved guilty. I don't say that this is always lite rally the case, but such is the theory of our criminal law, and a very just theory it is. In France it is exactly the contrary. Tho prac tice of criminal proceedings in that country is that every accused person is believed to be guilty until he is proved to be innocent. And such was the case with M. Caudret. He was questioned by this authority, badgered by that, bullied by a third, made to contradict himself by a fourth, and sneered at by a fifth, nutil he almost believed ho was guilty; and yet tho very consciousness of his innocence made him desperate. And certainly, if ever circumstantial evidence was strong, it was on this occasion. That he was the most unlikely man in the world to commit any crime and particularly such a crime every one ad mitted; and yet they could not help declaring that the evidence against him was terribly clear and distinct. Even some of his brother clergy, most of whom had known him as a boy and man for thirty and more years, kept aloof from him, and declared, much as it grieved them to say so, that he was guilty. The unfortunate priest underwent a long and most heart-breaking trial a prolonged men tal torture which can only be inflicted by a French criminal trial. As a matter of course the press was against him. In those days the fact of a priest being guilty of any crimo was a subject of joy to the more than half infidel, and always bitterly anti-Catholic, newspaper writers of the period. These writings may or may not have influenced the jury. But, be that as it may, M. Cndret was found guilty and sentenced to death. He met his fate with, fortitude, merely declaring his innocence, and saying that it would be some day or other fully proved that he was innocent. A con fessor attended him in his prison, and the authorities of that establishment could not but help noticing that alter the first inter view of that priest with the convicted man, he at any rate did not believe him to be guilty, although, of course, not a word was divulged of what had passed between the prisoner and himself. In the days I writo of, Charles tho Tenth was King of France, and had a very great dis like to see any one, particularly a priest, exe cuted. Although urged by the Minister of tho Interior to sanction the capital punish ment of M. Caudret, his Majesty obstinately and, as it turned out, very fortunately de clined to do so, and commuted the sentence to one far worse for any man not a "habitual criminal" to boar, that of tramux force at the galleys, what we should call penal servi tude, for life. The prisoner accepted the re spite without a murmur, but without re joicing. He was removed to Brest, and in a very snort time ne anu nis crime were torgot ten by the outer world. YJiut a man of education, a man refined in his tastes, religious in his ideas, and knowing himself to be innocent, must have undergone at the batnx, those only who nave seen these establishments, and who knows what goes on at these places, can form an idea. Our own penal prisons must be bad enough, but they are havens of rest and peace when compared with those of France. The only good descrip tion of these hells upon earth published in the English language was written somo years ago by Mr. Sala, in a novel called "Tho Seven Sons of Mammon." Those who recol lect that writer's account of tho bain at Brest may imagine what M. Caudret had to endure for twenty-five long years of his life, and from which he only escaped at last by almost a miracle. Charles X had been dethroned; the Orleans dynasty had ruled over France, and had like wise vanished; the republic had passed away like a dream; Louis Napoleon had been de clared President, and then Emperor of France; and yet M. Caudret lingered iu jail. He still wore the hideous yellow garments of a "lifer;" was sneered and jeered at as h iv ing been a priest; had to listen daily a id hourly to language and tales of which the like could only be heard in the infernal re gions; and was treated all the woro by the guardians of tho abomidabla den because he would not take part in the ri baldry and obscenity of the place. How ho bore it how he did not dash his head against the walls, and get rid of his fearful life Oodalona knows. He was never heard in after years to describe what he had passed through, except in a single particular. Throughout the long days and weeks and months and years that he suffered his punishment, he had one, and only one, occasional glimpse of happiness. That was when the priest, who was chaplain of the bain, used to admit him to confession. Then, and only then, did he hear for a brief period some few words of consolation, aud listen to the conversation of an educated man like himself. But w henever he had had one of these inter views with the chapluin, the guardian, or warder of the room, took a devilish pleasure in having him chained for the next two days Jo S9m Fiwoacr wjio was, if possible, nigra. profane, find ft grfftter blasphemer than the others. In other respects, after ho was libe rated from the bain, M. Caudret, when ques tioned about the prison, shudderod a1, the re collection of wlm he had pnwd through, but would never enter into particulars. AU he would say was that it was far worse, ftnd in finitely more fearful, than any man who had not lived there could imagine. I His bberation was brought About in tfhis. way, long after he had given up all hope of ever being released save by death. At fhe galleys of Toulon was a convict who had been sentenced to the travau force for ten years, and had undergone nearly the whole of his sentence when he met with a terrible acci dent, by which he was so injured that the medical men declared he could not live more than a few hours. At first he could not be lieve them, but after a time, feeling himself getting worse, he accepted the services of the chaplain of the prison to prepare him for death. The chaplain, who was closeted with him for some time, ended by sending for the governor, aud saying that the prisoner had, before ho died, a publics statement to make. In the convict prisons in France a similar event is not uncommon, for the intricacies of crime are so bound up with one another that when a criminal dies he discloses some mys tery connected with his former life. Such wns the case with this man. When tho gov ernor and tho proper attesting persons had assembled round his death-becl in the infir mary, he declared himself to have perpo-' trated, twenty-five years before, the murder of a woman in the hospice of a village not far from Lyons, for which the cure of the place had been tried, found guilty, and condemned. He gave full details as to how tho mnrder had been committed, and how, in order to divert suspicion, he had entered the cure's bed room by tho window, taken his shoes, walked in them ' to the hospice and back, making tho footmarks as plain as possible, nnd hnd also taken with him the Corsican dagger which he found in his study. Being himself at that time under police sur veillance, and afraid that ho would be im prisoned unless the scent was thrown upon another person, he smeared the knife in the blood of his victim, so as to make people be lieve she had been murdered by that weapon. He the murderer it was who had taken the priest's handkerchief, which he found on tho study floor, and had put it into the dead wo mau s mouth, as if it had been used for a gag. In short, after his deposition had been for warded to the proper authorities, it was thought to be so truthful that a formal in quiry was made, the judgment given a quarter of a century before was reversed, aud the doors of his infernal prison, greatly to his surprise, were thrown open for M. Caudret. When this unfortunate man was declared innocent nnd set at liberty, his bishop offorod to restore him his clerical faculties, and even to give hini charge of a parish. But, although grateful for the kindness, ho could not be prevailed upon again to take upon himself the duties of his calling. He said that the twenty-five years' residence at the bains had been such a pollution to his very soul, and that his body was so weakened and his whole nervous system so overset, that he was not fit to resume his functions. At the representation of the bishop an allowance of -'0 a year was mado him by Government, and he retiredjto the small town where I met him, and tfhere, after living for many years a most holy life, he died in peace some six or seven years ago. The French people have a sort of instinctive hor ror of any and every person whether inno cent or guilty thnt has ever been connected with the bains, and this was the reason vhy they would not answer me about Pere Fran cois until they knew me better. I question whether any one ever suffered more from false circumstantial evidence than did this poor priest. Britannia, STEPHENS Tlie Confederate ex-Tlce-President Ventures Another Opinion.

For my general views upon all these matters 1 must reler you to ft letter I addressed to the St tional Intelligencer, of the fourth of tills mouth, aud published In that paper of the ninth. There can be no cure of the disease until Its real cause is not only understood, but removed. The cause of all these lute troubles in our land, and of all those gross usur pations you speak of, is the departure of the Govern ment from the primary laws of Its existence. Tho only practical living lstme before the people of this country now is one between federal republicanism and imperiulibm.coustitutloual liberty and monarchy. There is no middle ground; no haif-way house be tween them. The people must choose between them, aud take one or the other side of this question. Tho one rai rles with it Btate sovereignty aud constitu tional liberty; the other carries with it consoli dation and ilespotlKiii. There is no hope for tills country but Iu a thorough repudiation of the wh'ilu principles upon which the late war was Inaugurated and waged against the Southern iStutes. The very Idea of maintaining a I'nion of St:ite by force is p'.-r-, fei il.v paradoxical and absurd. These are my views briefly and frankly as well as earnestly given. I know and feel perfectly assured that in their sound ness uud correctness lies the only hope of constitu tional liberty on this continent. Whether the people will be able or disposed to understand the trutii, and appreciate it. in lime to secure themselves from Im pending ruin or not, I do not know, lam exceed ingly apprehensive that they will not, but that they will go on in their delusion about saving tho Uul.m aud putting down the Hebelliou until their doom is scaled!
