THE OUTBREAK IN TARIS.
VrnviTF. the sensational character of the
cable despatches forwarded from Paris, it is
not probable that the insurrection in that
,: city will assnmo formidable proportions.
The whole tendency of modern improTe
menU and events has been to increase the
i ubstaoloa to the snocess of such outbreaks.
- Napoleon has been a profound student of the
revolutionary demonstrations in his capital,
and he has spared no pains or expense to
make revolt impossible. Not only has he
increased the efficiency of the police and the
strength of the military force stationed in
.. Tal is to such an extent that resistance is well-
nigh hopoloss, but he has destroyed, by his
" changes in the plan of the city, the strongholds
' .of the barricade-builders, and rendered their
best efforts puerile if not totally ineffective.
As long as he can bo assured of the fidolily of
his army be will have little to fear from such
demonstrations os were made yesterday. The
natural desire to avoid unnecessary bloodshed
has prevented bis soldiers from using thoir
firearms prematurely, but if the contest be
comes sufficiently serious to justify an aban
donment of this scrapie, the mob will be mas
sacred or dispersed. The Emperor is anxious
to suppress the demonstration by the
police alone, and although they were
- repulsed from one barricade, they
made many arrests, and as several
- of the barricades were not defended, the zeal
of tho insurgents seems to be already waning.
Meanwhile the military are out in force, and
4 ready at any moment to act decisively if tho
' police should be overpowered. It is only
restrained by the desire of the Government
to act with "prudence and humanity," to use
the phrase chosen by M. OJlivier, and by
Napoleon's wish to avoid the reproaches which
would be heaped upon him if he slaughtered
thousands of his own subjects. The irrepres
sible Eochefort, whoso arrest was the imme
diate cause of this outbreak, is rather a news
,. pnper hero and a lover of sensations, than a
' veritable leader of a genuine revolution. He
I Jacks either the courage or the capacity, or per
haps both, to organize armed resistance. His
weapons are the pen and tongue rather than
t the sword and rifle. It is his object to make
- a figurative rather than a real martyr of him-
self, and he has none of the spirit of the
heroes who demand liberty or death. The
l cable despatch says that when he was arrested
"he made no resistance and no appeals to the
f .crowd, although there was a great crowd of
people present," and on previous occasions he
r ' evinced a similar deposition to avoid coin-
plicity in forcible antagonism to the empire.
J "While his own followers cannot fail to
notice, sooner or later, tho contrast
' between his words and actions, he is hated
nd distmstod by all the moderate opponents
.of Napoleon, and the fear that ho might esta-
' Lliah a red republic on the ruins of the em
pire if it was overthown, is one of the most
' serious obstacles to a thorough reform of the
i French Government. Under the ciromu-
'. -stances, the new demonstration will serve
; only as another protest of tho radicals of
Taris against Imperialism, and it is as likely
to give increased strength to the Napoleonic
' dynasty as to weaken it.
' THE Fit AN KINO PRIVILEGE.
'. '. A great deal of very useless indignation and
wrath is being exhibited by certain members
of Concrress anaiust the Postmastor-General
- for his efforts to procure the abolition of the
' franking privilege. It may not be very con
sistent for that official to have blank petitions
printed at the public expense, and forwarded
free by the mails nnder the frank of post
. masters, but the people of the United States
consider the franking privilege snob, a nui
sance that they are willing to forgive Mr.
Greswell for fighting our greedy law-makers
with their own weapons. It may be assumed
without hesitation that any member of Con.
gross who undertakes to attack the Post
master-General in this matter is laboring for
the perpetuation of the frauds that are perpe
i trated upon the tax-payers of the country
by means of the franking privilege, and
that they are angry because, if that privilege
is abolished, they will not be able to send their
dirty clothes borne through the mails and have
' them washed free of charge, but will be
obliged to have them renovated in Washing
ton at rates varying from one to two dollars
'-' per dosen. Indeed, the best argument that
' can be Advanced in favor of the franking
privilege is the facilities it affords for Con-
t gressmea to present a tolerably respectable
1 appearance; and we fear that if it is done
away with some of them would not be seen
with a clean bhirt on from one end of a session
to another, unless a Congressional laundry
, were to be established and included in the
bill of expenses under the head of "sta
tionery." t Yesterday the franking privilege 'was
brought up for disoussion in the House of
Kepresentatives by the effort made to tack
' on some amendments modifying the bill
passed a few days ago abolishing the privi-
lege, and a number of the members took
occasion to give voice to their misery. Mr.
Vouchees, of Indiana, considered the bill
abolishing the franking privilege as offensive,
insulting, and degrading to the dignity of the
House. He regarded the franking privilege
as one for the benefit of the people and not
of the members. Mr. Blair, of Michigan,
thought that the whole opposition to th frank
ifig privilege come from the PoatauaUr-Uaae.
ral, and that there was not one voluntary
petition from the people themselves. lie
denied the charges of gross frauds on the
franking privilege, and repudiated the impu.
tation upon him and his fellow-members.
Now this is all very fine talk, only nobody
believes in all this loud-mouthed virtue, and
the people have long since come to the con
clusion that the abolition of the fran'iing
privilege is a measure of reform that Congress
owes to its self-respect as well as to the coun
try, that is already burdened too much to be
obliged to support any unnecessary expense.
TUB QUEEN'S SPEECH.
Thb ministerial dooument whioh by a popular
fiction of the British Constitution is known
as the Queen's speeoh was read at the opening
of Parliament yesterday by Lord Cairns, the
sovereign's absence being apologized for on
the plea of recent indisposition. Tho speech
sketches In general terms Mr. Gladstone's
programme for the prosont session, without
committing him positively to any special
measure, although engaging to press upon
the attention of Parliament certain reforms.
The Queen at the commencement of her
speech finds cause for congratulation in the
fact that there is at the present time a great
disposition among tho nations to resort to
the good offices of thoir allies in cases of in
ternational difficulties, which may perhaps be
considered as a hint to the United States on
the Alabama business. With regard
to that vexed question no direct
allusion is 'rnado, but her
Majesty remarks that friendly sentiments are
entertained towards England in all quarters,
and that these feelings she cordially recipro
cates. All of whioh is very pleasant and con
soling, and may be taken as an assurance that
England will not unnecessarily assume a bel
ligerent attitude even towards the warlike
Winnipegers. One piece of good news is
conveyed to her Majesty's faithful subjects
in the announcement that the financial esti
mates for the approaching fiscal year are
framed with a view of diminishing the charges
upon the tax-payers, the revenues having
answered all the expectations formed at the
commencement of the lost session.
An important reform is delicately hinted
at, rather than openly insisted upon, when
the Queen says to the House of Commons
that she trusts that they will be disposed
to carry to completion the inquiry insti
tuted by them last year into the mode of con
ducting Parliamentary and municipal elec
tions, and thus prepare material useful for
future legislation. If the House of Commons
carries out this suggestion in good faith, it
cannot fail to collect plenty of material for
legislation, as the open and avowed corrup
tion of the English elections is one of .the
greatest scandals that tho country has to
suffer under. The rascality that sometimes
rules at our elections, to tho disgust of all
decent citizens, is but a faint shadow of the
iniquity that brings discredit upon the Eug
lish system.
With regard to Ireland the speeoh is very
indefinite, and it is merely stated that a pro
position of some sort will be introduced re
specting the occupation and acquisition of
land in Ireland in a manner suited to the
peouliar ciroumstanoes of that country, and
which her Majesty believes will be calculated
to bring about improved relations between
the several classes conoerned in Irish agricul
ture, who collectively constitute the bulk of
the people. Allusion is made to the recent
extension of agrarian crime in Ireland, and
for the removal of these and other evils a
main reliance is placed upon wise and neces
sary changes in the laws.
It is announced that, in fulfilment of an en
gagement with the United Stales, a bill will
be proposed for the purpose of defining the
status of subjects who are citizens of foreign
countries, and who may desire naturalization,
and of aiding them in the attainment of that
object. Thia is a measure that has been de
cided upon as necessary and expedient by all
parties, and there is therefore a fair expecta
tion that the present sossion of Parliament
will see the destruction of the time-honored
but ridiculous and troublesome British prin
ciple of "once a subject always a subject." ;
Her Majesty recommends the legislative
settlement of the question of religious tests
in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,
and presses upon the attention of Parliament
other matters of various degrees of impor
tance. The speeoh contains few if any ex
press promises, but it indicates that Mr. Glad
stone intends to press for the adoption of
those reforms that are apparently most
needed, and if he succeeds in accomplishing
all the work that is laid out for him in the
Queen's speeoh, he will have the satisfaction
of knowing that he has done more for the
permanent benefit of the country than almost
any Minister that has ever held the rems of
power. .
THE LINCOLN CABINET.
Eveb since the retirement of General Came-'
ron from the War Department, the political
oumala of this State have given conflicting
accounts of the seoret history of the advent
of Seorotary Stanton into tho Cabinet. Some
ournals in the interest of General Cameron
have repeatedly asserted that he voluntarily
resigned, after having named his successor,
and several prominent political papers have
repeatedly declared that the change in the
War Office was made without consult
ing General Cameron either as to his
retirement or as to his successor.
We are recalled to , this chapter in the
history of the Lincoln administration by two
mportant magazine artioles one from the
pen of Senator Wilson, in the Atlantic, and
the other in Lippineott for the present month.
Senator Wilson,in an able tribute to the late Mr.
Stanton, states that General Cameron offered
to resign if a suocessor would be seleoted
friendly to his policy, and that in pursuanoe
of his proposition Mr. Lineoln aooepted his
recommendation of Mr. Stanton. The Lip
pineott artiole presents the matter in a very
different light, and names Secretary Chase
a" having interposed bet ween the President
' and Cameron to soften the fail
It is now eight ' years since the
Cabinet change referred to was made, and
the revival of the subject by the death of Mr
Stanton seems to leave grave doubt upon the
manner and immediate cause of Cameron's
withdrawal. One by one those thou familiar
with the inside politioal history of the Lin
coln Cabinet are passing away, and now, after
years of newspaper dispute, magazine articles,
professing a higher standard of accuracy
than is conceded to political journals, give
essentiahy different histories of the re
tirement of Cameron. , How is it? A
corrM-poudence appeared in the public
prints when Cameron left tho Cabinet, pur
porting to bo Cameron's voluntary resigna
tion and the President's acceptance of it,
both letters couched in the kindest terms.
Was it not genuine ? or, if genuine, was it
a fraud upon the public ? and if a fraud, why
was it perpetrated ? Certainly there are those
living in Pennsylvania who know all about
this matter, and they can never find a more
fitting time than the present to vindicate the
truth of history. What does Colonel Forney
say ? How woidd Dawes testify ? Lot
General" Moorhoad speak, or Covodo, or
McClnre, or Kelley, or any other man who
known. History needs a little help let us
have the facts.
i
The Rkvki.s of IIkvki.s. The sable Sena
tor elect from Mississippi is encountering op
position of an unlooked-for character. A
Washington despatch states that inquiries
into his previous career have revealed certain
unfavorable facts which will tend greatly to
damage his prospects, and relieve Senators of
the necessity of accepting a negro for a col
league, while at the saute tiino they will be
able to shirk the responsibility of rejecting
his claims dimply because ho is more sun
burned than tho majority of them. It is
alleged that tho frequent changes in his
doniicilo have been rendered necessary by
the evil courses which ho has followed:
that at one place he stands charged
with embezzlement, and at another with hav
ing been laid out on the floor by a blow on
the head from a bottle, whilo participating in
a church brawl. This last argument against
Lim will certainly prove to bo a settler, if it
should be substantiated; but if every Senator
who has been laid out on tho floor through
the instrumentality of a bottle is to be called
to account therefor, what a sensation there
will be at the capital! This notion of refusing
a Senator admission to his seat until he has
proved himself to be a man of unquestion
able morality is a good one. It would be
well for the country if it should bocomo an
established one at Washington, in tho House
of Ilcpiefstntatiyes as well as in the Semite,
and with respect to our white legislators as
well as to our black ones. , ' i
"
The Connecticut Democracy, it appears,
are already on the lookout for an aspirant for
gubernatorial honors, and a3 usual they have
pitched . upon ex-Governor English as their
first choice. But tho ex-Governor hus had
enough of unsuccessful caudidaturo, and de
clines to run again with the certainty of
defeat staring him in the face. What the
Connecticut Democracy will do under these
circumstances we cannot imagine. But a
few years have elapsed since Connecticut was
regarded as a "reactionary" State, and no
one then dreamed of declining the Democratic
nomination for Governor. But tho times
have changed, and tho change has damponei
Democratic ambition.
lit the lower branch of the Legislature,
yesterday, a House bill creating a commission
to establish a House of Correction in Phila
delphia was considered, objected to, and post
poned temporarily, but afterwards passed.
We have not seen this bill, but it is to be
feared that it will prove a monstrosity, de
signed rather to serve private interests than
to promote the publio good. . What the peo
ple Deed is a repeal of the legislative restric
tion prohibiting the erection of a House of
Correction alongside of the County Prison;
and if a commission is to be appointed, no
better body could be chosen than the Prison
Inspectors.
At a stated meeting of the Board of
School Controllers held yeRterdsy, the Com
mittee on Property reported that "proper
measures were not adopted for the care and
safety of property by tho Directors of the
Seventeenth Section, and that property had
been removed either by or under the direc
tion of members of the School Board, tho
whereabouts of which the committee wore
unable to discover, as the parties ohargod
with the removal of the same refused to at
tend." Can it be possible that the appro
priation of school-house furniture to private
mcs is to be addod to the long list of uiuaicU
pal peculations: . .
Thk State Senate yesterday passed a bill
providing that fixed salaries shall hereafter be
given to the District Attorney, Clerk of Quar
ter Sessions, Sheriff, and Coroner, of Phila
delphia, and that tile pther Row offioers shall
pay into tho city treasury pne-fourth of all
their annual gross reoeipts exceeding $2000.
This is a step in tho right direction which
should meet the approval of the noose, It
is folly and rank injustice to continue to heap
riches upon the incumbent of a fewprofltabla
offices. i v

jpgT APPEAL FOR THE P O O It
UNION BENKVOLKNT ASSOCIATION.
There h not been more eufforin among the better
claaaee of the poor than at preaont ainoe ltkVI. A viaitor
waa called to a family living- in a good houae on Sixth at rent
ho bad not tasted food for forti-elcht hoars. The chil
dren bad gone to Sunday School without any breakfant.
A manajror received a note, written in a beautiful female
hand, appealing for aid to keep her family of little ohildron
from itarving and freeiiing. The call waa obeyed, but in
the meant line the husband and fat her of the family had
attempted auioide, in deapair at aeeinc hia family auffor-
ing, without the moans to relieve them. A family of four
IHU rhililrn, were found in a fearful state of Buffering.
Their mother Isy dead on an old carpet on the lluor.
and the father was raving with delirium tremens over
the body. A young woman of refined appearance, pale
and emaciated with consumption, was discovered by A
cltiren m an attlo on Wlllovrtreet, apparently dying, with
out fire, food, or attendance. If the good men and womoo
of Philadelphia, who are livicg in comfort, to aay nothing
cf ltiiury, many of them troubled most to know how to
invest their surpluses at this time, ooulil lmt see fnoe to
face tho misery whioh is larking within ten minutes' walk
of their dwellings, they would pour ouVof their treasara to
relieve the sufferings; or if they could but rra't'. but
half the distress, they would rush into the lanes and
sllejs to axsiat. There ara one hundred and twenty
viators of the Uinon Bennolent Aniiciatimi, and all the
money they have to distribute is five dollars por month
for each visitor, in all of this great city. The association
is so complete in its raiuifioationa that it can relieve the
wanta of all the poor, if the publio would but oonstituw
it almoner. It geta less than t2U,0U0 per annum,
and a distinguished philanthropist, not ot its Hoard, but
