WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1870.
SUICIDE OF TD.E FRENCH MINISTER
A despatch from Washington announces that
Prevoat-Paradol, the newly-appointed French
Minister, committed suicide at one o'clock
this morning. The only explanation given
of this extraordinary event is that he has
been voiy busily engaged since his arrival in
the United States, and that the oppressive
heat, ooirbined with his exhausting labors,
produced a temporary mental alienation,
during which he sought death in the high old
Roman fashion. This explanation may be
correct, and in support of. it the fact is
worthy of notice that weather like
that to which sweltering American humanity
has been subjected during the last few days
is more insupportable to newly-arrived and
unacclimated foreigners than to our own citi
zens. We are strongly inclined to believe,
however, that no speculations on this sad and
delicate subject can be complete which do
not take cognizance of the moral causes that
were only too well calculated to nil the soul
of the departed diplomat with gloom and de
spondency. There is no man living, ex
cept perhaps Bochefort, who has said
more bitter things of Napoleon, and who has
cherished a deeper hatred and contempt for
his whole character and policy, than Prevost
Paradol. Of all political summersaults that
by which he became the confidential agent of
a man on whom he had showered every form
of abuse is one of the most remarkable. We
know of nothing in the annals of political
literature more cutting and contemptuous
than the famous "stable-boy" article which
is referrod to elsewhere.
The mutual concession involved in the
appointment of the author of this article by
the Napoleonic stable-boy was no doubt
more keenly felt by the Minister than the
monarch. The latter could console himself
with the reflection that the skilful pen which
had assailed him would henceforth be devoted
to his service, while the former could not
forget that this new task involved deep self
abasement. It is but just to the memory of
Paradol to assume that in undertaking it he
was influenced by the belief that a new
era was about to be opened
in the empire, and that he would help to
liberalize French institutions instead of be
coming the slave of a tyrannical system.
While he was crossing the ocean, however,
new complications suddenly arose that
changed the character of his duties here and
the face of politics in the land he left behind.
A war was suddenly precipitated by the act
of the master whom he had so thoroughly
despised, against the better judgment, appa
rently, of Paradol's official friend, Ollivier,
and clearly against the open remonstrance of
Paradol's old preceptor, M. Thiers. The
brutal instincts of the stable-boy had once
more impelled him to adopt a policy that
will entail endless misery upon
his beautiful mistress, France, and that may
involve himself and all his chosen favorites
in hopeless ruin. To a mind keen in its per
ception of these features of the new compli
cation, and, perhaps, of many others of a
Btill more irritating character, which are only
understood by those who are familiar with
official secrets, the unanimity of American
feeling in behalf of Prussia must have been
specially disheartening. Paradol had been a
great admirer of this country, and had
warmly espoused the cause of the North
during the Rebellion, so that he
had a just claim upon our kindly
regard which was well calculated
to insure for himself, personally, an enthu
siastic reception in all loyal American circles,
lie could scarcely fail, in turn, to be deeply
depressed by the fact that the people of whom
he thought so wellinstinctivelypronouncedan
adverse judgment upon the late movements
of Napoleon. And if the convictioa suddenly
flashed upon him that the underlying idea of
the stable-boy in sending him to America
was to trick him into an involuntary use of
his presumed personal influence in this
country to strengthen a premeditated
policy of which he (Paradol) was ignorant at
the time he assumed official chains, it is not
difficult to understand the intense desire of
a gifted and sensitive nature to seek relief
from such a position at any cost.
TIIE CASE OF CONSTABLE
McMULLIN.
John MoMullin is a constable, and he is,
moreover, inspired with an exceedingly ex
alted opinion of his own personal and official
importance. Until yesterday he evidently
imagined that a constable was a law unto him
self, and that he was endowed with all the
prerogatives of judge, jury, and proseouting
attorney combined, with a general roving
commission as an administrator of public jus
tice according to the lights that had been
vouchsafed to him. Constable McMullin,
however, was convinced of the very mistaken
view he had taken of his own importance as
a representative of the legal dignity of this
Commonwealth by a fine of $300 imposed by
Judge Paxson for his refusal to obey a writ of
habeas corpus, and a commitment to the insa
lubrious confines of the County Prison until he
Khali find it convenient to pay the money. It
appears that a citizen and his wife and chil
dren were on their way to the grand jury to
testify in a case of burglary, in obedience to a
Subpoena. . Th6y were overtaken by Consta
ble McMullin, however, who arrested the
woman on a charge of perjury, and on being
remonstrated with, replied that he did not
CRre for the subpoena, and qualifying his re
mark with an expletive that belongs to what
Charles Reade calls the "dash dialect," and
which, by common consent, is banished from
polite society. The woman was accordingly
taken before an alderman, with considerable
rough usage, it is said, and sent to the station-house.
The husband stated the particu
lars of the arrest to the court, and a writ of
habeas corpus was forthwith issued com
manding MoMullin to produce the woman.
This he refused to do, and supplemented
a recommendation to the Judge and District
Attorney to visit the shades below by remark
ing, "My wishes shall be complied with."
The Judge did not agree with Constable
McMullin about the expediency of taking the
trip suggested, especially during the present
altitudinous,state of the thermometer, and he
also apparently considered the remark as an
additional disrespect to the court. The ex
cuse of the Constable that he did not under
stand the writ was not accepted, the Judge
very properly remarking that the offense was
a grave one, and that no plea of ignorance
would answer, for a constable who did not
know the nature of a writ of habeas corpus
was not fit to hold the office.
This case embodied a flagrant contempt for
the court, and it therefore secured an amount
of publicity that otherwise would not have
attached to it; but it is not by any means the first
instance of officers taking the law into their
own hands in utter violation of the rights of
citizens. McMullin's remark, "My wishes
shall be complied with," was the assertion of
an insolent self-sufficiency and a conscious
ness of a power to give annoyance that is
characteristic of too many of the class of
petty officials to which he belongs;
and while the constables are entitled
to the aid not only of the
courts but of all good citizens when they are
doing their duty all citizens, no matter
how humble they may be, have a right to
claim exemption from insult and unlawful
arrest at their hands. The refusal of Mc
Mullin to obey the writ of habeas corpus and
the insolent language he used merited even a
greater punishment than he received, but it
is probably enough to teach him that we are
not quite ready just yet to recognize the
higher law of the constabulary, and that the
next time he is served with a writ of habeas
corpus it will be the part of discretion for
him to obey it.
TIIE FREE PUBLIC BATHS.
Thbouoh the exertions of the Bedford street
missionary two bathing tanks have been got
into operation in the building adjoining the
mission house, and they have already been
used by a great number of both sexes, who,
without such facilities, could never have been
induced to pay attention to personal cleanli
ness. That these baths will exert a potent
influence in favor of the moral as well as the
physical regeneration of the Bedford street
district cannot be doubted, and the missionary
regards them as among the most important of
his auxiliaries in the work of Christianizing
the heathen of that region. But while
through individual enterprise and exer
tion the Bedford street" baths have
been established, it seems from
present appearances that the free public
baths on the Delaware and Schuylkill, about
which there has been so much talk, are not
likely to be of much use to the public during
the season when they are most needed.
Councils, after discussing the subject until
they had exhausted it, finally agreed to ap
propriate the money necessary, and plans
were prepared and adopted, so that there
seemed to be every probability that the baths
would be provided in time for the hot
weather. The summer is more than half
over now, however, and still the work is de
layed; and thousands of men, women, and
children who are unprovided with bathyjg
facilities at home, who cannot afford to pay
for baths, and who are prohibited by law
from taking a dip in either of our rivers,
are deprived of a means of preserv
ing health and comfort that they
are justly entitled to. It is not necessary
that the bath-houses should be very ornate
affairs, and it ought not to require any great
expenditure of either time or money to con
struct substantial wooden sheds that will
answer every purpose. There has been ample
time since the money for the free public
baths was voted by Councils to put them in
operation, and the very large and important
class who are immediately interested have a
right to complain that through the negligence
of somebody they are cut off from a legiti
mate enjoyment during the hot weather, as
well as from a sanitary agent the value of
which cannot be estimated at any pecuniary
valuation.
. Thb rail Mall Gazette holds out an inducement tot
A. J. to settle in London. It says : "A correspond
ent of the Knoxvllle (Tennessee) Chronicle mentions
a rumor that the ex-President Johnson is about to
go into the mercantile business and open a whole
Bale and retail store in Greenville. Another report
states that he is coming to Europe. It Is, however,
considered more likely that he will commence busi
ness at Greenville, Inasmuch as his former position
as President la likely to secure him a large amount
of patronage even from those 'whose sympathies
and respect he was unable to command while fulmi
nating His veto messages at the White House.' If
these anticipations should not be realized, and ex
Presldent Johnson should find business slack at
Greenville, we ean assure him that there Is a very
good opening for a really honest grocer In London.
If he would really give us good weight, let us have
unadulterated articles, and not charge exor
bitant prices, we should all rush to
his Bbop, which would be as successful as the
Civil Service stores In Long-acre and the Hay
market. . We only ask that he may let us know be
forehand what It Is we are buying, if he has a
fancy for selling disgusting compounds, by all means
let him do bo, only let them be labelled accordingly.
When we ask for tea, we really want tea. if we
wanted dust, dirt, and sloe-leaves, we would ask
for them separately, and nix them ourselves. We
might also point out to him that If, on the other
hand, he intends to adopt the adulteratlve system,
he will And facilities for carrying It on In this coun
try unsurpassed anywhere else. Unfortunately
there is ao much competition in the adulterating
business that a new-comer has little chance of suc
cess. It takes some little time to become a thorough
rascal, and to be able to over-adulterate and under
sell felltw-tradeuneit in England."
OBITUARY.
I.arlrn Aimtole PreTotJ-Pnmdol.
The death by snlcide, at one o'clock this
morning, at Washington, of M. rrevost-Faradol,
the French Minister, will create a profound sen
sation not only In this country, but, in view of
the struggle going on in Europe, throughout the
civilized world. Such an event Is unprecedented
in the history of this country, and perhaps in
that of the world. The possible causes which
led to the tragedy are discussed elsewhere, and
It only remains for us to refer, In this connec
tion, to M. Prevost-raradol's career. On the
11th Instant we published a long and elaborate
sketch of his life, but the manner of his death
was so sudden and summary that a passing in
terest demands a repetition of Us leading points.
Luclcn Anitole rrcvoet-Paradol was the son
of a French naval engineer and a talented lady
connected with the Comedie Francalse Theatre,
and was born at Paris on the 8th of August,
1830. His education was commenced at the
College Bourbon, where at an early age he dis
played distinguished abilities, and succeeded in
gaining a number of the highest prizes. After
wards he entered the Ecole Normale, from
which he graduated In 1851, securing, when but
twenty-two years old, the prize for eloquence
from the Academlo Francalse for his "Eloge de
Bcrnardln Saint-Pierre." The degree of Doctor
in Letters was conferred upon him in 1855 as a
qualification for a professorship, and the same
year he was appointed to the chair of French
Literature at the University of Alx, in Pro
vence Having a decided inclination, however, for
journalism, he abandoned his professorship iu
185G to become an editorial writer on the Jour
nal den Debats, with which he remained in con
nection up to the time of his appointment as
Minister to the Unltsjd States, with the excep
tion of a few months in 1800, when
he occupied . an editorial position on the
Presse. At the time ho became con
nected with the Journal des Debats, which
was the recognized organ of the Orleanist party,
that party was struggling for existence, one
writer after another having attempted and failed
to keep It afloat by waging as bitter a warfare
upon the Napoleonic regime as was possible
without subjecting it to fatal attentions from
the Government. The new editor's position was
therefoie one of extreme difficulty, but he en
tered upon it with such earnestness that his
success was complete. With consummate
skill he assaulted the Government and all
its belongings, jet in such an adroit, in
sinuating way that his attacks were all
the more galling, becauscthey were too care
fully phrased to present a tangible point for a
warning from the Government. He became a
contributor also to other journals, especially to
the Courrier du Dimanche, a Sunday journal,
in which he was given a freer hand, and at
tracted great attention by the violent and sar
castic vain in which he combated the preten
sions of the Government. This sheet was con
tinually under the displeasure of the Govern
ment, and was warned eight times, suspended
twice, condemned once, and finally, not longer
ago than 1800, suppressed for publishing an
article by M. Prevost Paradol entitled Le "Pale
frenwr" or "Stable-Boy," in which occurred the
following remarkable passage:
"I ranee Is a beautiful court lady, beloved by
the most gallant men, who has run away to live
with a stable boy. She Is despoiled, beaten, debased
more and more every day. But it can't be helped;
she has eorae to like it, and cannot be wrested from
her worthless lover."
His articles in the Journal des Debats also at
length became bo vexatious that it is said the
Government resolved upon its suppression with
out preferring any specific charges, but simply
for "reasons of state." This desperate course
was not resorted to, however, as the proprietors
preferred a modification of its policy to its an
nihilation. So for a long time the name of M. Prevo3t
Paradol ceased to appear at the end of the
political articles, his contributions being re
stricted to literary subjects, but displaying such
a high order of ability that there was sufficient
demand for the reproduction of the greater por
tion of them in permanent book form. Indeed,
throughout his journalistic career he found time
to write several works. The most noticeable of
these was a political pamphlet, given to the
world in 1800, under the title of "Les Aqclens
Partis." In this he assailed the Government so
recklessly that he was subjected to a prosecu
tion by it, the result of the trial being a month's
incarceration and the payment of a fine of one
thousand francs. In 1857 he published a
work entitled "Du Role de la Famllle dans
l'Education," which was "crowned" by the
French Academy, and on the 7th of April, 1805,
be was elected a member of that body, the
highest goal to which a literary man in France
can attain. In May, 1867, he received still
another substantial recognition of his literary
standing and abilities by being appointed one
of the committee of five members of the Aca
demy to superintend a new edition of the "His
torical Dictionary of the French Language."
His position as permanent chairman of this
committee he resigned just before his departure
from Paris.
Although obliged for a time to relax his politi
cal efforts in the Journal des Debats, his repu
tation and fortune as a writer were so well
established at the time be was forced into purely
literary labors that he gradually resumed his
former line of writing, and by the combination
of elegance, force, and truth, contributed in no
small degree towards bringing about that
healthy sentiment in the public opinion of the
countiy which culminated, at the close of 1800,
in the elevation of his warm personal
friend M. Ollivier to the Premiership.
The progress of "liberty under the empire"
caused the gradual disintegration of the Orlean
ist party, and at the same time threw M. Pre-vo6t-Paradol
into the following of Ollivier, in
whose peculiar views on "coastitutional liberty"
he had professed to acquiesce for some time
past. The advent of the Tiers Parti to power
found him, professedly at least, In full harmony
with it and Us leaders, and when M. Ollivier
was called to the head of the ministry, he acqui
esced In the new order of things, and his name
was soon discussed in official circles as that of a
suitable person for high office under the con
stitutional regime. Indeed, in a work published
about two years ago, entitled "La Nouvelle
France," he had already committed himself to
the support of the recent policy of the Empe
ror, which the course of events was already
foreshadowing, and had sketched with his ac
customed brilliancy the prospects and destiny of
the country, insisting especially upon the point
that it was the mission of France to crush the
rising power of Prussia, which threatened to
trample out the independent States of Europe
in Its colossal strides.
At theelectlons of 1803 he had presented him
self as a candidate for the Corps Leglslatlf from
the sixth circumscription of Paris, but only to
sustain a defeat. His political career was there
fore still restricted to journalism up to the date
of his appointment as Minister to the United
States. Despite the bitterness of his previous
aseaults upon the empire, his accordance with
the views of his friend, M. Ollivier, rendered bis
entrance Into the service of the Emperor under
the new regime possible, and perhaps
natural if not consistent, and his selec
tion for the mission to the United
States was the result of his
well-known sentiments towards this country.
Having a perfect command of the English Ian
gunge, and having loug been familiar with the
peculiar Institutions of Great Britain, for which
he professed the highest admiration, he enjoyed
better facilities than most prominent Frenchmen
for analysing and comprehending the nature of
our institutions. Throughout the recent war of
the Rebellion he was a firm, consistent, and en
thusiastic friend of the Union cause, and in the
columns ot the Journal des Debats frequently
gave that cause the effective support of his bril
liant and trenchant pen. The tragic death of
Mr. Lincoln, especially, called forth the fulness
of his sympathy with the Union cause, and in
the eoluuiLi of the Journal des Debats he eulo
gized the life and character of the martyred
President in eloquent words. Although pub
lished by us only a week ago, the closing words
of this eulogy will bear repetition here. M.
Prevoft-Paradol wrote:
"He could display with some degree of prUlo aloft
and triumphant that I'ntoii flag which had been
twice entrusted to him, and which he had preserved
through so many perils. It is at the moment that he
Is struck that the unforeseen blood resounds so griev
ously In the hearts of all honest men In the Old as In
the New World. The Romans have held in pious
reverence the memory of a certain Fabius Dorso,
who, during the siege or Rome by the Gauls, passed
slowly through the enemy's lines, carrying with hltn
respectfully the necessary oilerlngs for a sacriflce
which was to be ottered In a day and at a place fixed.
It Is in a very similar manner that this honest
man has pursued his course for more than four
years, holding religiously In his bauds as a sacred
deposit the threatened existence of his country.
Less fortunate than Fabius Dorso, ho has fallen at
the very foot of the altar, and covered it with his
blood. But his work was done, and the spectacle of
a rescued republic was what he could look upon
with consolation when his eyes were closing in
death. Moreover, he has not lived alone tor his
country, since he leaves to every one in the world to
whom liberty and justice are dear a great remem
brance and a pure example."
M. Prevost-Paradol's appointment as Minister
to the UnitetLStates was first discussed by the
French Government soon after M. Ollivier came
Into power, and In February the appointment
was finally decided upon. There were some
difficulties in the way, however, and it was not
announced officially until the loth of June. Many
of the Paris journals, liberal and imperial
alike, abused him and the Government because
of it, but from other sources he received warm
congratulations and endorsement, the American
residents of Paris especially being highly grati
fied by the selection. On the 2d Inst., while
Europe was reposing in perfect peace, he left
France, and on his arrival at New York, on the
13th, he was startled and doubtless stupefied
to find the Continent in the first
throes of a terrific struggle that
very struggle between France and
Prussia which he had predicted two years be
fore. On Saturday last he was formally pre
sented to the President by M. Berthemy, his
predecessor at the head of the legation, recclv
a hearty welcome, as, indeed, he had already
received from all sections and sources in the
country. As we write, the particulars of his
death have not been received by telegraph from
the capital. They will be eagerly awaited,
not only ' in this country but
in France. The death, in the course of nature,
of such a man as M. Prevost -Paradol is a gene
ral misfortune; the death of such a man by his
own hand is a circumstance of unusual pain
fulness. M. Berthemy, his predecessor, has not yet left
the country, having intended to sail from New
York on Saturday next. His departure will
doubtless be delayed by orders from Paris, as the
French Emperor cannot afford to be without a
responsible and trusted representative at Wash
ington at this critical time.
