THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1869. THE OCTOBER MAAZ1NES. LIPPINCOTT'S." A There are Urea llh.Mrntlons In the O. tobcr number of Lipfiotf, Magazine two by Eng. ll.b artists, to Antnony Trollop s novel, The Vicar o HullliBinpton," nnd one by Mr. h. 1$. Benscll to tM story of "The Lonely Ones." Of these Mr. Benacll's is decidedly the best. The figures are full of character nnd cxprcsilon, nd the drawing Is one of tho finest that Mr. Uensell b. yet produced. The engraving has fceen admirably done by Mr. Laudcrbach, and the picture does great credit to the magazine. We quote the following paper, by Karl Blind, on "The Democratic Movement in France": "Tlicro we have again the flcklo French that volatile set!" many a steady-going man will have exclnimcd with milled temper at tho lisuo of the lute elections. . When, In February, 1848. they founded a re public In lees than three day, they were pro nounced a race of foolhardy go-aheads. hen, a few years later, they allowed themselves to bo trampled down in that fatal December raid. It was said they had got the govcrnmout which they deserved. When they boro for years the Osarian Incubus, people shrugged their shoul ders ci n-.cmpUiously at such spiritless patience. When a cry of insurrection no comes at latt from all the great towns aye, from tho agricul tural districts tliemselvcs-somo men feel vexed anil Peevish at the sudden shock their favorite notion have received; and they fall back upon i the old stock-in-trade, siying:-' Why, you ran never know what tltc trench will do next. Let us, however, tko a glance at tho situation. A variety o muses has contributed to promote' the present democratic resur rection. Within the hist ten years 1 ranee has been surrounded with a circle of. fire. CtJutrary. to Louis Napoleon's original pl.au, a united Italy was formed by tho Uaribaldian Initiative. The very failure f Italian democracy before Kome rebounded upon the Imperial system; it was too much for the Frencli people to be thrice made ' the soldier of the Tope. On the other side of the ocean the French ruler meant to found a "Latin empire" and to aid in the ruin of the Amjlo-Saxou republic of the North. Instead of this he was iguominiously driven out from Mexico, and this defeat, combined with the triumph of tho United States, at once lowered his military prestige uud gave an im petus to tho ideas "which are embodied iu the American Constitution. Neither was that which happened in Germany calculated to rende the position ot Louis Napo leon more comfortable. The "Chauvinist" party were oflendcd by the unexpected rearing up of a rival military power, and by the iusuflieicacy, as they considered it, of tho concession made In the Luxembourg quarter. The Democrats felt it as a sting that "liberty as In Austria" aud in other South-German States should have taken the start of the France of lilM, 1HI30 and 1848. Meantime, Eng land's popular forces were brought up in the .Reform movement; the earnest determination and the joyous tumult of those popular strivings could not but awaken an echo in tho French nation. Then Spain despised Spain suddenly rose in revolution, driving out a dynasty with as much ease as if a mere spider's web had had to be brushed away. South, north, east, west, on this and ou tho other side of the ocean, France found herself morally outflanked. It was more than could bo brooked. The spell under which an awe-stricken people had luin so long began to dissolve. . A hall-hearted attempt at conciliation, made by the decrees for the better treatment of the public press and for tho restoration of some thing like a right of meet'intr, turned out a blow to the government cause Itself. It is a fact little known that, before those decrees, there were but two or three organs of the Democratic party in all the French provinces ! whilst, since those de crees, about one hundred and fifty have sprung up, well uigh all more flery in their tone than the l'arisiaii journals of tho Kcpublican party, except the lteceil and the Bapprl, which repie eent two sections of exiles. In this phenome .nonthe real diiliculty of tho Napoleonic gov ernment may be perceived.' It cauuot live any longer exclusively on the December traditions, and all concessions only undermine its existence. As to the third possible course a warlike diversion people in the French capital say, '"On the day when that . shall be attempted Paris will die." I here come to the army, upon whoso attitude bo much depends. It Is dilllcult to learn any thing about the spirit which pervades it, for the rule of passive obedience and silent execution is enforced with tho utmost rigidity. Tho French army is not like the Spanish, which has so fre quently fought out the political strnggles of the country. It is not like the English, whose olllcers are bound up with society, aud whose every member, down to tho privite, is respon sible before the ordinary law. It is not even like the Prussian army, with its civic landmehr element, which sometimes shows strong political IcaniDgs, as it did in lb HI, when it was unwill ingly led against the Baden revolution, or in l80b, when it had to bo driven to the t:wk set to it by government. The French army is diff e rently constructed. It generally moves like clockwork. The man in power sees it in motion at his will. Had the National Assembly assumed the chief military command in 1851, as some of its more fursecing members then proposed, it would have been as easy to arrest the President as it was afterwards easy for tho President to arrest the leading members. The intercourse between the private or non commissioned ofUccrs aud the popular classes the present Government has endeavored to stop as much as possible The mass of oflicers, from reasons well known in France, do uot see much of society; they have therefore few opportuni ties of forming their political views. It is diffe rent with the more sedate oflicers who occupy the rank of colonel. They frequent the 6ocietv Of the higher middle class, and before then opi nions aro freely given, as they are considered bound not to divulge what they have heard. In times of great crisis they thus learn much, and discreetly wait to see how matters turn. Thus . the colonel, together with the nou-commlssloued oflicers, have the bulk of the army practi cally in hand. The generals, who have little . direct Intercourse with the mass of the subordi nates, count not for so much whenever an attempt In to be made to gain over the army to " this or that side. The non-commissioned oflicers stand nearest ." to the lower middle and working class, tho colonels to the higher lourqroisie, Wheu the latter observe that tho xery'tiouryeoisie gener ally so timorous and anxious before all lor the preservation of order has made up its mind to K0 against tho government, there is a great chance of defection in the military ranks in favor of the popular cause. But it is only on tho day of real action that the results of this silent, occult conversion are Been. At present we have scarcely any guiding facts to go by, except that towards the end of the Mexican war there was a mutiny In several crack regiments that were to be sent across tho ocean: and that quite recently Marshal Niel issued an order converting Sunday into a day of soldierly practice: lu other words, keeping tho Jirivatcs and non-commissioned' oflicers away rom contact with the people on the day wheu tho latter have their utiug. But how will it be possible to prevent such communication for nuy length of time, when the. rery reorganization ot the army, as lately decreed, tends to turn every citizen into a trooper? The military establishment of France now consists of nearly oue million four huudred thousand men. Ibis, too, is one of the griev ances of the people which may have found its vent in the recent votes. France Is being eoldlered out of the vory marrow of its life, and It does not relish it. Tho average size of its men lias constantly diminished within the last eighty years. The effects of the great Napoleonic wars are visible even now lu the slow progress of the population. There are other causes, difllcult to treat upon, Wblcb operato against an increase. England r,Pf iM nearly doubled Its population within the last flftv years In si.iUi of a considerable emigrate. yftScJVft emf- grntlon worth speaking of. has In the same period not increased oiio-tlnrd. The number of births has, moreover, diminished to such an ex tent that a French statistician of note declared the time jiot to be distant when, If things did not alter in this respect, tho births would no longer sufllce to cover the losses by death ! And under such circumstances a reorganization of the ormy has been devised which takes away all the able-bodied men, without exception, lu the very prime of llfo, compelling them for years to celibacy ! Must not the youth of France, men and women, rebel against such a system ? It would lead too far to enter deeply into tho causes ef dissatisfaction con nected with the financial affairs of tho country. Tho new system of loans In troduced under Louis Napoleon has, it is true, enabled large masses of the people to make email investments: nnd this has frequently been considered a guarantco of continued gov ernment influence. But the very circumstance of tho vast distribution of those investments is, on the other hand, a guarantee to tho holders for repayment under any government. As to tiA finnm lnl administration of the present regime, which has been hitherto practically Irre sponsible, the ligurcs are simpiy appauing. Already in 1855. Baron Kichemont, who re ported In the name of the Committee on tho Budget, complained of the State expenses being double that which tncy nact ocen umicr mo First Empire!" Tho active State property had vastly decreased under Napoleon III, through the sale of railways, of State domains, and of possessions formerly held by the Orleans family, as well as by extraordinary clearings of wood in the State forests. Nevertheless, the extensive budgets annually fixed were year by year found to have bi en enormously exceeded. The surplus of receipts, shown by" ministerial legerdemain, like a mirage not only vanished regularly into thin air, but one day tho head of the State hail actually lo s;i aown anu 10 inane a letter to the public, in which a deficit of ten hundred millions of francs was acknowledged, which nobody knew how to account for. It was a strange pecuniary sickness that had suddenly broken out in the State body. M. Fould was called in as n doctor, and temporary relief seemed to be afforded. At least, that was what the friends of Government asserted. The revelations concerning tho financial ad ministration of the "Imperial Commission," w hich acts ns an Irresponsible communal council for Paris, arc probably fresh in the memory of some readers. They came out In the Corps Legls latif. M. Haussmann himself, the great reeon structor of the capit al, had to make his eon fession. It was such a scandal that persons who might have been expected- to hold together like burrs, began to indulge in mutual recrimina tions. The affair was smothered with diiliculty. Since then the republican press has agitated mother financial point. Invidious comparisons were drawn between the salary of American Presidents and the civil list which Louis Napo leon had decreed to himself after ho had con verted h's Presidentship into an imperial tenure of power. The French civil list is at present the highest ia the world. Under Louis Phi lippe it was twelve millions of francs. Under Louis Napoleon It is nominally twenty-five millions, not counting the dotations of the imperial princes and princesses. Iu reality, the civil list of tho Emperor's own person is reckoned to amount to some forty or fovty-two millions of fruues through the receipts from various domains attached to the Crown. Yet n few years ago the civil list was supposed to be charged with a, debt of eighty millions of francs! Now, in juxtaposition to the twenty-five- or rather forty-two millions of francs which tho Emperor receives annually, the democratic critics placed the "ridiculously small sum" of ninety-two thousand five huudred francs which are an American President's yearly salary. And it was paid that France must certainly be able to "pay for her glory," seeing that in eighteen years she had contrived to pay to Louis Napo leon four hundred and fifty millions, or, more correctly speaking, sevcu hundred and fifty-six millions of francs. Forthesakcof even greater impression, tho calculation above alluded to has been so worked out as to show the receipts of the Emperor by dav. hour, and even minute. The effect on a people who had been told by the present ruler himself tbat he was "a parvenu," and to whom he was often described by his agents as "the Peasant's Emperor" or "tho Workingman's Friend." may be easily imagined. If France had a regular system of popular education, the result of the recent elections would no doubt have been an overwhelming defeat of Government. It Is a telling fact that the "Map of the State of Public Instruction," which was drawn up a few years ago, and which indicates, by shades more or less dark, the intel lectual condition of the different departments, should actually be a reliable guide for estima ting the political forces of the Empire and those of the Opposition. Where education stands lowest, there the ruling power marshals most adherents. Where education stauds highest, the adherents of Government 'are few and far between. The departments in which the people are most instructed are those sitnuted towards the Ger man, Belgian, and Swiss frontiers, as well as the Department of the Seine, whore the capital exer cises its influence. In Alsace and Lorraine the state of nubile instruction is most satisfactory. It is worst in the ancient Bretague. In the de- pM tments situated towards Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland only from two to uiue per cent, of the married people were unable to sign their names. In other parts of France, from sixty to seventy-five per cent, were unable to accom plish that pimple feat. It is, however, not dilli cult to understand that a great mass of people should be thus crippled iu education. The ag gregate sum spent on public Instruction does not reach the expenses for the Court. Some years niro there were murked In the State budget six millions of francs for public instruc tion; five millions of francs more were added by the departments ; eleven millions five hundred thousand by the communes; the school fees brought iu nine millions more. Total, thirty-one millions live hundred thousand francs, against about forty-two millions 6peut for tho Court. " The six millions contributed by the State for public instruction stood out in stranire relief agalustthe four huudred and sixty-three millions spent for the war-forces on sea aud land. Hence a Liberal paper, parosyiuga Napoleonic phrase, could utter, with regard to the coincidence be tween tho strength of the opposition and tho state of education in the various departments, the bitter but perfectly true taunt IS Empire c'enl I' Ignorance ! For ihe upshot some incurable pessimists may perhapB Kay the "downshot" of this new French movement we will probably not have to wait long. A mighty change is hovering iu the air. There may be short aud sharp shocks aud counter-shocks for a little while, but the great issue cannot bo long delayed. That which oc curred a few months ago at Paris, at Bordeaux, at Nantes, at Marseilles was a mere prelude of little importance In itself, yet a sign and symp tom. Great catastrophes are often preceded by vague tumults. I believe It will be well for those who take an Interest in vast European pro blems of statesmanship to study closely the condition of affairs which has grown up of late in France under the lioua paigeau State edifice, and the upheaving forces of which are already visible from Intermittent exertions. The electrical flashes which shot across the atmosphere of Spain in the summer of 1808 were scarcely understood abroad. Yet they meant the subsequent great event of Sep tember. The sheet of fire which now breaks oc casionally through the dark political sky In France is clearly a harbinger of coming storms. The "France of the future" traces already words cf doom in lurid streaks. Friend and too may ttraln their eyes to read the coming seuteucc. From T. C. Do Leon's artlclo entitled "The French Fever," we take the following on the comparative traits of American and foreign women: American woman ore confessedly as pretty, as bright, and as pure as any the, societies of the world know. When foreigners meet good speci mens, abroad they invariably awara thoiu the palm; seen nt home, they combine tho aplomb of the Ennllsh woman with the imiuolos grace and vivacity of the French. As a rule, they err neither on tho side of the tine frippery of tho continental, nor of the overstarched propriety of a certain class of British female. And the reason is Blmplo enough. Their minds, their character nnd very often their manners even are natural. Their development is the result of natural rauscs with few unwholesome restric tions. Why, then, whenhey go abroad why, in tho name of all tho gods! 'do they become such servile imitators of what is so far beneath them ? Perhaps when they travel and of late it has become as necessary to tho American as to tho Bedouin to fold his tent they must imitate. But then why they do not choose tho purer mo dels ot a not too pure society that they only see from the outside, must puzzle one who thinks a moment on the subject. The whale aim and struggle of the French woman's life is good taste. She is rarely a prude, seldom a bet esprit; she maybe neither over-brilliant nor too straight-laced; but she Is at equal pains to hide her moral as her mental deficiencies, and she makes war to the knife on tho demi-monde I In dress, in carriage, in style she strives to bo its very antipodes. Why is it. then, that the proper American woman will transfer into her circle those very ebjeetlouable features that even the lax French woman would unhesitatingly reject ? that, whilo tho latter walks demurely through the streets of Paris in tho gravest of dresses and drives in tho plainest of wrsppirfts, the former shows on tho Avenue and In the Park in a costume that would Inevita bly excito comment, if not insult, in the best governed city of Europe ? GENERALITIES. Hale of a Virginia Ivstnte. I'ri in the Fredericksburg lUrald, ticpt. 13. "Arklnilale," one of the finest estates In Virginia, lying along the Potomac river, In Stairord county, and containing 83fW acres, was sold, by Messrs. Taylor, Suttie A Conway, at public Ruction, In Alex andria, on Friday lust, Mrs. A. M. KitzhiiKh was the purchaser, at 2i per acre. This property, together with the idclilniicl estate, about 1 r00 acres, and a flouring mill, were pnrcliased by the late Charles Warren of Mrs. Fitzhugh, in isrs, for07,000,of which t'21,(KK) was raid at the time, giving a bond for f 46,0(M). Jn 1S59 the Jdclilaud property and flouring mill were sold under a decree of the court for between 120,000 and 127.000, being rehought by Mrs. Fitzhngli. It was sold on Friday under s decree of the Circuit Con it, In the suit of A.M. Fitzhugh vs. Mary Ann Warren ami others. A Curlonn Hunk Lode. Frmn the Mattehester (A'. II.) Mirror, Sept. 6. one door of the vault of the Rochester Bank, which burglars unsuccessfully attempted to rob on the night of the 1st, has a very curious lock. It was invented and made thhty-live years ago by Charles Dennett, one of the first directors of the Rochester Bank, who was a very Ingenious mechanic. Jt is said there Is not another lock in the world like It. When an attempt whs made to rob the bank in 1S43, this lock was twice charged with powder and exploded, jet it did not give way, and it is in as good condition now as when made. A correspondent says: "Many years since a locVsniith caine from New York to this place, to sell. If possible, a bant lock, and he laughed at this specimen of a countryman's skill, which he assured the cashier he could pick In lilt I f an hour. He was piomiscd that the lunik would buy one or his locks If liu could do so. The lxlt was thrown out with the door open, to give him every fut ility, and the key placed in his hand. He took his own time, and ot ter several hours' hard work, with out any progress, he concluded to go home, taking his ow n luck with him.-' The Alhskn. Property Holders. From the A Iwka Timix, July SO. Much excitement and uneasiness have, existed among our citizens for some time, owing to the fact Demg Known tnat tne general commanding the De partment had racetved orders to take possession of, and hold, for the use of tho United States, all pro perty within this Territory not private Individual property at or before the time of the cession of this Territory to the United States by Kussla. With the exception of some seventeen buildings, the title to all thq real property of citizens In the entire Ter ritory is derived from the administrators of the Rus sian Amercan Company. It is further rumored that (iitlclals high in position at Washington have de clared that the Russlun-Amcrican Company "were not private individuals" within the terms of tUe treaty, and tunc it suouiu tnereiore nave oeeu turned over to the United States; but as it was not, it should now be taken on behalf of the United States. The Virginia Drouth. The oldest Inhabitant has scarcely a recollection of nuy period when the drouth was so great or pro longed. The summer has passed, ami one month of autumn nearly has followed, and a section of coun try hundreds of miles in extent has been visited by few refreshing showers. Vegetation, usually so luxu riant, has withered and died, the parched earth hus refused to yield grain for man or grass for beasts springs have dried up, river bottoms are empty, and everywhere a cry goes up for water. Cities never before without an abundant supply of the priceless fluid have been put on short rations. The arid sands of Africa can be but little more parched than have been some sections of Virginia and North Carolina. In those sections most severely visited much mitrer ing must prevail or he alleviated by kindness. While we write lowering clouds poctend rain, and we may confidently anticipate copious showers. Denied abundant rains and a very luxuriant vegetattlon, the entire South has been blessed with health un paralleled. The law of compensation is here seen In force aud beauty. Sorfolk Herald, Kept. 15. The reat Nunsox Fire, We published a week ago an account of a terrible tire raging in the pine forests and swamps of Wor cester county, Md., and Sussex county, in this State. The Sussex Jovrmd, of the 11th inat., has the follow ing additional particulars : "Some weeks ago o fire broke out in the Cypress swamps lying in the centre of the lower part of this county and Worcester county, Md. The surface of this swamp is composed of a light illuvtal soil of fungus growth which wheu dry is highly combusti ble, and is from one to four feet deep. This chatty surface has been burning about three weeks, extending about six miles in width. The progress of the lire is not rapid, but as the sur face of the ground Is burning, of course forests and fences, houses, and barns, corn fields and pas ture aieet the same late when they stand In the way. It Is impossible to tell how great the loss Is of life'and property lit this writing, or to form any cal culation us to the final result: nothing hut a flood of rain can stay its progress. Several families who lived ou the edges and high portions of the swamps have not been heard from. Mr. W. J. Caisey, Curtis Jacobs, Mrs. 1 learn, and many others have been seriously damaged. It was estimated that one mil lion bushels of hucklebenles grew In the swamp last year. We can say to the lovers of this fruit, next year the crop will be far short of one hundred bushels. The fire is raging from thePocomoke, near Show Hill, to DagslKirough, in this county. Ditch ing lias been resorted td iu some places fur the pur pose of saving houses and barns, but such a body of lire at a time when the earth is parched and dry is rcully terrible." Cost of ViclunllliiK a Club. The rail Mall ;a:ette says: "A correspondent sends us some particulars in support of the view that the cost of victualling the whole or a club, including, perhaps, seventy ser vants, falls on the members w ho use the clul for refreshment. '1 do not happen,' he says, 'to havo a club account beside me which Is of later date than iMiS; but this makes no dhfereiiee. Ju any club balance-sheet, set forth as It should be, oue can see the facts. Here is the balance-sheet of the Reform Club, prepared iu lKilft for the preceding year. Tho refreshments consumed In the club cost as follows: Provisions, a-9112; wine, beer, spirits, and soda water, a'440; total, A'U.o&d. The food aud the drink consumed by the seventy servants of the club are comprised In these Bums, which are met as follows by moneys re ceived from members of the club for refrcshmeuu, namely : For provisions, X77H4; for wine, beer,, spirits, soda water, x'.'."99; total, i:i:i,as3; ndileo leaves a deilclenuy of XOTTI on the whole account, or about ft per cent. It Is rarely that a club cau get over tl at 6 per cent. Soiiietluif s, even, It is more than ft per cent. There .Is an Incessant waste iu clubs, which is utterly beyond control, and the prices of provisions are Increased by percentages which it Is vain to Investigate, if these two sources of loss could be got rid of, as they are iu a hotel, iu a re. staurant, or in a club where the mauager Is also pro prietor, then the two ends wotild meet. As It Is, the theory of all clubs is that they should meet, aud us a matter of fact they very nearly do so.' ' Tbe Itontoii Coliseum. This Immense structure, minus a largo part of Its roof and a portion of its ends, presents a sad ap pearance still, the workmen engaged iu repairing the damages, with a view to rendering the building complete again, making slow progress. The ruins occasioned by the late gule are pi.ed up by the cordr but the work of repair has commenced. Probably three weeks will elapse before the Coliseum will be restored to its original shape. The amount of labor to be performed is large, and necessarily slow under ordinary circumstances. The appearance of the building i decidedly a gloomy one, and is in strange contrast with the days wheu Its great interior was filled with lntmlrlnir sonir: and even the surround ings partake of the sume general air of desolation.
