J'LONl'LONS SPEECHES IN THE
FRENCH HEN ATE.
Thk lata illness of the Emperor Napolron ex
cited much alarm at Pari, and awakonod Ap
prehensions that Franco was once, more on
the eve of a fearful revolution. One of the
incidents connected with thiH danger was the
peculiar attitude of Trinoe Napoleon. It wan
announced that he wps aout to make a strong
liberal speech in the Senate, and that the
Empress Eugenia was highly indignant at this
intelligence. These brief telegrams implied
that riou-l'lon was determined to make a bid
nittier for the Regency or the succession, and
that the Empress regarded his intrigues with
a jealous eye. Meanwhilo the Emperor's
health improved, and the quarrel between his
wife and his cousin was adjourned. Hut the
Prince, having announced his intention to
deliver an important upeech. did not shrink
from his purpose, although it is
not improbable that the changed condi
tion of the Emperor's health induced
a slight change of its tone. In the French
Senate, on the 1st instant, he "protested his
devotion to the Emperor and the Prince Im
perial, and gave in his complete adherence to
the proposed reforms, which he hoped irrrc "t
the bcjihiihifloffrish. reforms. He denounced
as irreconcilable those w ho opposed the loyal
triplication of theso reforms. " As Plon-Plou
is one of the ablest men in the empire, and
fully competent to give forcible expression to
his ideus, these doctrines naturally commanded
much attention, and the excitement was
heightened by a second speech from the same
source levelled against the Ministers, and de
manding that they should be held to n more
complete responsibility. The Ministers, in
turn, attacked the Prince, charging that this
speech was scandalous, and asserting that
they would throw up thir portfolios if his
idea prevailed. In the midst of the excite
ment produced by the controversy, a Parisian
journal added new fuel to the flame by a state
ment that the Emperor ''expressed his ap
proval of the liberal ideas of the Prince."
This intelligence is subject to two interpre
tations. First, that Prince Napoleon is de
termined to lose no opportunity to make a
point for himself; or, second, that he is sin
cere in the belief that the best method of
perpetuating the existing dynasty is by the
adoption of additional reforms, nud the
grant of additional liberties and privileges to
the French people. It is also possible that
his action is prompted by uu intermixture of
both these motives.
Under the existing arrangements, ho can
never hope to rule Franco, nnloss the Prince
Imperial dies as well as the Emperor; but if
he convinces the people that he is a zealous
and sincere friend of freedom, he might, in
the event of a new convulsion, be endowed
with supremo power as ltogeut. Emperor, or
President.
On the other hand, Louis Napoleon has vir
tually confessed the failure of personal gov
ernment. ly refusing to share with the re
presentatives of the people the remonsibili
ties of power, he made himself directly liable
for all the blunders of hi reign. His ene
mies charged that it was his fault that millions
were squandered in the ridiculous Mexicau
expedition, his fault that France has fallen in
the scale of European nationalities by tho ag
grandizement of Prussia, and his fault that,
while Frenchmen had lost prestige abroad,
they were overwhelmed with debt, tax iLimi,
and despotism at home.
They did not attempt to deny that Napo
leon had done some good things, but they
churned that if he had given the people a
direct voice in his counsels tho fatal results
of his erors might have been averted, and
that the true interests of the subjects as well
us tho sovereign would thus have been pro
moted. This view has been substantially adopted
during the last few months, but Prince Napo
teon declares that the proposed new system
of government is not sufficiently liberalized:
that it is a step in the right direction, but
does not go far enough. The reported en
dorsement of this theory by the Emperor may
mean that he sincerely approves this conclu
sion, or that he is unwilling, ut this moment,
when his own health is precarious, and when
he is endeavoring to win back the affections
of liberal Frenchmen, to be outbid by his
talented cousin. The whole race of Napoleons
are at heart thoroughly selfish, but they are
able to comprehend the necessities and aocode
to the demands of modern times; and they
understand much better than the stupid de
scendants of the older dynasties when to
gracefully surrender power which can no
longer be safely retained, and how to improve
t heir opportunities for gaining a controlling
influence. It is gratifying to notice that the
whole course of recent events in France is
favorable to liberalism, and that even tho
fears and hopes connected with the succession
all fortunately tond in the same direction

TJ1E LECTURE SEASON.
Tun popular loctnre, as we hare it in the
United States, is essentially an American in
stitution. It is tho outgrowth of onr peculiar
political system, of our widely-extended and
sparsely-sotiled territory, and of that average
culture which makes the United States what
Matthew Arnold calls "the paradise of medi
ocrity." Invidious as this term Beems, if
rightly understood it need be considered in
no other light than a compliment. It means
that while we have no exclusive and highly
cultivated class, such as exists in the Old
World, we also have no Buch dobasing igno
rance. It is a disgrace hero for a grown inun
or woman not to know how to read and write,
and the consequence is that knowledge is
better diffused, and we have an average of
culture that in a free country is of more value
than a system that, while it breeds a race of
scholars, leaves the mass of the people in pro
found ignorance. It would be a curious study
to trace out the origin of the American lec
ture system, and to watch its gradual
growth until it has rcachod its present
development, but w ithin the limits of a single
article like the present this would be impos
sible. It is sufficient for our present purpose
to kuow that lectures on every imaginable
subject, grave and gay, scientific and comic,
and covering the entire range of human ex
periences, are among the most popular and
best-paying winter entertainments in all parts
of the country. The lecture field is occupied
by divines, statesmen, savans, philanthro
pists, travellers, reformers, historians, poets,
lawyers, and buffoons. It serves to bring the
people face to face with some of the most
eloquent and celebrated men and women of
tho country, aud it is an important source of
profit to many who aro able thus to trade
upon reputation or notoriety obtained in
other S2iheres of action.
In tho largo cities the winter lectures are
somewhat overshadowed by the multitude of
other amusements that are offered, but for a
very large class who never visit tho opera or
theatre they supply a desideratum and afford
n style of entertuinmeut that is highly appre
ciated and extensively patronized. In the
smaller cities and towns, however, lectures
fulfil a more important function. With the
exception of an occasional circus or a wander
ing minstrel troupe, they arc the only enter
tainments that break in upon the monotony
of village life, and it is in such placos that
the majority of lecturers find their best-paying
and most appreciative audiences.
Lecturing, whatever it may have been in
the beginning, is now reduced to a regular
business. Our leading statesmen, clergymen,
and others who have obtained a lyceuiu popu
larity all have their regular scale of prices,
and the experience which many of them have
had as to the unreliability of committees and
others who attempt to manage without know
ing how, leads them to demand the cash in
hand before stepping upon the platform.
Most of those who make a regular business of
lecturing have an agent who goes in advance
aud prepares the way for the coming cele
brity: and persons too who are thoroughly
posted in all tho details of the managerial
profession, have taken up with lecturing as a
regular branch of the show business, ar
ranging popular courses in the leading cities
and towns, introducing to the public the most
popular "stars" in the lyeeuui firmament, and
conducting the whole affair in a business-like
and orderly manner.
The coming lecture season in this city pro
mises to be one of unusual brilliancy and in
terest. Independent of tho transient celebri
ties who will appear, one of our best known
managers has arranged a "star" course, which
will bring before the public such orators as
Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Peecher, Anna
E. Dickinson, and others equally well known.
The series will consist of ten or more lec
tures, to be delivered between tho middle of
October and the first of January, at the
Academy of Music, and the arrangements are
such as to secure a great variety of styles aud
subjects, and to bring before the public tlio
speakers that the public will be best pleased
to hear. Such a course as this will offer un
usual advantages to the admirers of this styl
of entertainment, nnd as the management is
in good bauds, it can scarcely fail to be a bril
liant success.
As a matter of curiosity we give the names
of some of the best known of the lecturers
who are announced for the coming season in
various parts of the country, with tho sub
jects that they will treat of. The terms which
these ladies and gentlemen demand vary ac
cording to circumstances. Those who are
sure of full houses demand $1100 per night
and expenses in largo cities like Philadelphia
and New York, and S?1."0 per night in smaller
places. The prices of the others vary from
!jC0 to 100, their terms being subject to
modifications which depend upon the size of
the lecturing hall and other circumstances.
Among those who will lecture duringthe sea
son are llev. John S. C. Abbott, who will dis
course upon the congenial subject of "France
and her Emperor," and less familiar theme
of "The Romance of Spanish History," which,
however, wm allow turn to introduce some
allusions to his particidar friend, the Em
peror of France: Rev. W. K. Alger's subjects
are "Patriotism as a Principle, as a Senti
ment, as a Tassion," "Human Life as a Fine
Art," "The Nature and Value of Musio,"
"Knights of the XlXth Century," "The
Origin, Essence, and Influence of Chivalry,
"The Origin and Use of Poetry." Josh Bil
lings' themes are "Milk" and "A Plaintive
Discourse on Nat ral Hist ry; William Wells
!rown, a colored orator of much ability, will
discourse upon "Hannibal, the Cartha
genian Hero;' Professor Tliny E. Chase
will lecture on "Astronomy;" Frederick
Douglass on " William the Silent;"
Paul Du Chaillu on his favorite goril
los and his adventures in Africa; Dr. Isaao J,
Hayes on "Arctic Life aud boenery, and
"Arctic Explorations;" Colonel T. W. Hggin
son on "Democracy and Literature;" Edmund
Kiike on "Whites of the South," "The Poetry
and Humor of Words;" Dr. Dio Lewis on
"Physical Culture:" 'Dr. John L'ord' on va-
1 - --- - .
rioua historical subjects; C. Oscanyan .on
oriental life and customs; John O. Saie on
"Yankee Land," "Love," 'Toetry androets;"
Mark Twain on "Curiosities of California;"
Prof essor Anson Upton on "Tho Child-like
Spirit," "American Life from the Inside,"
"The Toetry of Life," "Dr. Samuel Johnson,"
"The Glory andShame of Actors and Acting,"
"English Words in this country," "The Truth
about Physiology;" and E. P. Whipple on
"Joan of Aro," "Courage," "Shoddy," "Loaf
ing and Laboring."
The loctnre field is largely occupied also by
ladies, many of whom have won well-deserved
reputations. Among them is Grace Green
wood, who will discourse upon the "The
Heroic of Common Life," "Jeanne d'Arc,"
"From the Old Capitol to the New," "From
St. Paul'B to St. Peter's." Miss Anna Dickin
son will also appear, and although her sub
jects are not yet announced, the public
know what she is likely to treat of. A num
ber of the prominent advocates of women's
rights will appear before the public as lec
turers, for the purpose of setting forth their
peculiar views; and among those who will treat
of the woman question we find Rev. Olympia
Rrown, Mrs. Caroline II. Dall, Rev. Ella
Elvira Gibson, Rev. I'hoebe A. Hanaford,
Mrs. Ellen Frances Watkins, Miss Lorenzo
Hayes, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Miss L. J.
Kellogg. M. D.: Mrs. E. Annie Kingsbury,
Mrs. W. Fox Legott, Jr., Mrs. Mary A.
Livermore, Miss Olive Logan, and Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
These we have mentioned from but a small
portion of the great army of lecturers who
will appear during the present season, but
this brief list will be sufficient to indicate the
variety, both in style and subject, that the
public will have to choose from.
DOWN WITH BELMONT!
"Ukick" Pomeuoy "is tirod of this thing:"
by which he intends to signify that it is time
to replace August Belmost, as the head of the
National Democratic Committee aud ostensi
ble leader of the unterrified, by a man who
stands squarely on the repudiation platform,
and is not burdened with the ominous pres
tige of three successive national defeats.
Belmont is as wealthy as Packer, but
although Packer's money is thought to bo
just the thing in Pennsylvania to ensure suc
cess, Belmont's is not so available, doubtless
because, not being a candidate for oflic-e. he
does not open his purse-strings for the bene
fit of the common cause. Then, again, Bel
mont is a full-blooded aristocrat, and does
not affiliate with the rank and file of the
party, as the illustrious red-hot "Brick" de
lights to do. In truth, the masses of the
Democracy seem to think that Belmont looks
down upon them with that supreme and in
effable contempt which characterizes tho
Camden ring-masters who "regard the masses
of the people as Asses, ready saddled
and bridled," with their "willing backs bent in
order that any demagogue may rido forward
into power." If Belmont had ridden the
Democratic animal into power, and given him
a chance to nibble at the corn stowed in the
public crib, all his high-flying and aristocratic
notions would have been overlooked. But
the reverse has proved to be the case, and in
the Presidential races of 1S0O, IfcC-t, aud 1i;h,
the animal which Belmont bestrode came in
several lengths behind, which only serves
to aggravate the original offense. Hence on
all sides we hear the cry of "Down with Bel
mont'." And down he will probably go. If
he don't, disaster is the only thing in store for
Democracy. "If," savs the red-hot Pomeroy,
"you have such a man as Belmont at its head,
in 187-' you will not have a corporal's guard
of Democrats in the strongest Democratic
ward of the city of New York."
THE 12 TR0N SCAN!) A L IN ENGLAND.
A cable telegram from London announces
that the solicitors of Lady Byron's family
have indorsed the views we expressed yester
day, that Harriet Beecher Stowe's recent pub
lication "was a gross breach of trust and con
fidence, inconsistent with Mrs. Stowe s re
commendation to Lady Byron," a "violation
of the express terms of her will," and "not a
complete or authentio statement," inasmuch
as it "does not involve any direct evi
dence." This is equivalent to a declaration
that the American authoress has botched a
very bad business, and foisted a story which
she should never have told at all upon the
public, without adducing .the proofs which
might have invested it with an air of plausi
bility. It appears from the statement of the
solicitors that Lady Byron really believed her
husband to have been guilty of the offense
with which Mrs. Stowe charges him;
. i , ? . ... .
mil me worm is leit in as
great doubt as ever as to
the sufficiency of the suppressed testimony.
Until that is submitted, the indictment must
remain as at present, not proven. If Lady
Bvron is an entirely credible witness, her
husband, while insane, did an insane thing
and if her judgment in regard to his sanity is
to be overruled, it is not just to accept her
opinion about the imputed crime, unless it is
sustained iy indisputable prooi.
The CrE May Fire. The New York
Herald gives the great seaside conflagration
the honor of an editorial notice, in the course
of which it presents some very novel views
upon tho subject. The Herald thinks it
doubtful if the destruction of the hotels is a
loss to the proprietors, for the reason that
"the tide of fashion which centres at Phila
delphia. Quakers and all, has been diverted
from Cape May to Long Branch by the supe
rior attractions of the gay world from New
York. Many years nco," continues the
Herald, "Cape May, of all our seaside places
was the fashion, but its glory has departed,
This editorial effusion is about on a par with
the Bpecial correspondence printed in the
Herald some months ago, to the effect that
Cape May had for years dragged out a sort of
dead-alive existence, and was just then about
taking a grand progressive stride, in conse
quence of heavy investments by New York
capitalists. There is fully as mucn trutn in
I the latter statement as in the former, and ab
1 eolutely none in either. The seasou which
ha just closed at Cape May was the most
prosperous that it has ever enjoyed, and de
"pite large additions to the hotel and cottage
accommodations, it was found impossible to
tatisfy all comers by reason of the great rash.
