Of all the ioipudnut proclamations whloh the wot Id has td within tba last dozen years, not exolnding Beanregard'a "Beauty-and-Booty" order, and Santa Anna'a exoom munication of President Juarez from the human race, the proclamation seat oat by the captive and dethroned Napoleon, from bis prison, and addressed to the Frenoh people, is surely the most impudent. "Betrayed by fortune," he begins, a? though si ill nnconacious that his own bltia. tor, vacillation, and tyranny caused his fall. "My presentiments" and "my rights," we read next about, as though "presentiments" were worth anything which did not warn him Bgait-st forcing war npon Oerminy; and as though his "rights" to misgovern France wf.re really entitled to the consideration of a nation which has suffered almost every con ceivable humiliation and woe through his pretentions inospucity. And be declares "all acts illegitimate, be cause, as it seems, "there is only one government in which resides the national sovereignty, able to heal the wounds," and BO on. The Pope's bull against the comet is a poor joke compared with this new Napoleonio bull againtt the history of the last six months. It wea a cunning piece of malignity in Bis marck to keep the Empress Eugenie away from Wilbelrushobe. If she had been there she would not have let Napoleon make a laughing stock of himself; for she has shown herself, in these later days, to the amazement of the world, as capable as her husband is weak, as strong as he is silly; and if France were tempted to re-establish the Empire, we should advise Frenchmen to put Eugenie on the throne, and assign to Napo leon the humble but more appropriate task of guiding the f anions and looking after what ho calls "society." THAT WHITE LIGHT ON THE DRAW BRIDGE. From the Cleveland Leader. The newspapers are making an uncomfor tably Htroug case against Mr. Vanderbilt, and enough is already well established to make the New Hamburg disaster likely to be a costly one to the reputation of the Hudson River managers. The testimony given on the inqueHt was interesting, but it was con fused, contradictory, and proved little in re gard to the one or two especial points upon which the pnblio most wanted light. When all is done, however, then coujoj a citizen of New Hamburg not a railroad man aud one who is not, therefore, afraid to tell the facts as he knows them. This parson asserts that the fated express train was lured to its ruin by a white light hanging over the drawbridge, and indicating up to the mo ment of collision that all was safe. Daring the season of navigation a man is specially charged with the manipulation of this light and the working of the drawbridge. At the freezing up of the river in December this man was discharged, and the cue of the bridge signal given to the charge of another man, whcse chief duty was at ' the water-tank in Old Troy, a quarter of a mile below the bridge. Not being at the bridge when the oil train was wrecked, this man could not of course drop the light, and thus warn the ap- Eroaching passenger train of danger, and ence the calamity of last Monday night. In a word, the work of two men put npon one, and his failure to be at the tank and the draw bridge at the same time, were the beginning of this disaster. A full, fair comparison of all evidence thus far adduced would show that three minutes elapsed between the wreck of the oil train and the arrival of the express, and had that safety signal visible for a mile and a half down the track been promptly lowered, the now dead engineer would have been duly warned. This certainly constitutes a serious charge against Mr. Vanderbilt, and in the present state of publio feeling, that personage will not escape a newppaper scoring which will require all bis thick-skinned indifferenoe to enable him to bear without flinching. Already the Albany Legislature is proposing to require all railway bridges in the State to be made of iron, and to prohibit the locking of car doors while a train is in motion. It is only by such lessons as that at New Hamburg that any railway re forms are ever suggested, and it is to ba sincerely hoped that so terrible and oostly an experience will not be allowed to go for nothing. TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF EMPEROR WILLIAM AND THE GERMAN ARMY INTO PARIS. From the V. Y. Herald. Despatches from Versailles have announced that the Emperor William and his German army will make a triumphal entry into Paris at noon on Sunday, February 11). The route of the procession has been designated, and the Prussian troops detailed for the purpose bave been told oil' to occupy the houses along its line, and to insure the promises of the police that no untoward demonstration on the part of the populace will occur daring the lanoh which the Emperor is to partake at the Tuileries with bis oourt and the general officers of the army and during the subsequent defile of the army of invest ment before bis Majesty. Military bands will be stationed at intervals along the line of the route by which the Emperor will proceed to the Tuileries after reaohing Paris by the railway from Versailles. The German national colors will be exhibited along the entire route from the railway station to the chateau. Despatches add that all the troops before Paris bave been fully reinforoed to the utmost wax strength, many of them hav ing received new uniforms, to be worn on their march into Paris and on their mounting guard at all the publio buildings of the city. 'Ihe new draft of Prussian troops is made up for the most part of unusually fine looking young fellows, and the landweur present a splendid appearance. It is not probable, however, that the mag nificent triumphal display on next Sunday will awaken in the minds of the Parisians fond as they proverbially are of military spectacles anything like the enthusiasm with which the allied sovereigns were wel comed when they entered Parts on the 31st of March, 1814. On that memorable oooasion the scene was so brilliant and impressive that even the sober Alison becomes eloquent in describing it. Its effect on the multitude which crowded the windows, covered the roofs and thronged the streets was so Irresistible that the historian Rays: "Passing from the extreme of terror' to that of gratitude, the Parisians gave vont in the loudest applause to their astonishment and admiration." The alarm exoited by the red Cossacks of the Quard was dispelled by wonder at the superb array of Prussian cav alry and light horse, Austrian grenadiers, Russian and Prussian footgnards, Russian cuirassiers aud artillery, together with the pplendidly uniformed household troops, and by eager and almost disgraoeful curiosity to get a glimpse of the sovereigns, par ticularly of the Emperor Alexander. Savary relates that at this matchless review there were to be seen ladies, and even ladies of rank, who so far forgot the respect due to themselves as to give themselves up to the most shameful delirium. They threw themselves over the circle of horses which surrounded the Emperor of Russia More than one of the English oflnoera who took a part in the procession testify that they "had a fair Parisian, sometimes tn croupe, at others on the pummel of their saddles, at the Place Louis XV." It is not likely that any Parisian ladies will awaken jealousy on the part of the Empress Augusta by similar ridiculous manifestations towards the Emperor William. It remains to be seen whether the Emperor of Ger many will emulate the delicacy and mag nanimity which the Emperor Alexander evinced in his proclamations to the Parisians and the French people. Exulting not with out reason that single and alone he is to reap the fruit of the unparalleled victories of the German army by entering Paris no less triumphantly than the allied sovereigns en tered it after victories won by the combined armies of Europe, Emperor William might well afford to be even more generous now toward the French than the Emperor of Rus sia was in 1814. The Emperor of Germany would thus deserve the gratitude of the French and win the applause of the world. RECONSTRUCTION IN MISSISSIPPI. from the If. Y. Times. Governor Alcorn's annual message to the Legislature of Mississippi, now in session, may not be entirely novel among kindred documents, but it is, at all events, so re markable that we may fairly congratulate the State on having so intelligent and faithful a Chief Magistrate. Governor Aloorn lemark that "the actual work of reconstruction began from the moment at which the laws of the last session of the Legislature took practical effect," and that, in the midst of this doing and nndoing, the Federal census was taken. In order, therefore, to ascertain the condi tion of things or, as be calls it, the "ruin" at the time of the new departure, he em ployed the recess in making "elaborate in quiry into the social and economical faots of the State," both with the aid of the census and by circulars specially addressed to county officers. The result is the message, which consists substantially of statistical tables and comments subjoined. The first table, for instance, is called tho agricultural census, and embraces six coun ties on the middle belt between tho Missis sippi river and Alabama, combining, as the Governor says, ''all our physical and our social peculiarities bottom-land and upland, ridge and prairie, negro country, white coun try, and mixed country." It embraces the area of improved and unimproved land, the value of farm and farm implements, the quantity of the various products, number of live stock, as contrasted in the census of 1SC0 and that of 1870. Every item but two shows a decrease, ranging from eleven to ninety-eight per cent. Molasses and oats alone show an increase. On this Governor Alcorn remarks, that the falling off in cotton production sixty-three per cent, coin cides almost exactly with the dimin ished value of agricultural implements (sixty-one per cent.), suggesting a relation of cause and effect. Indian corn, too, and swine have declined in the same ratio, (sixty-five per cent.) Other coincidences probably remain to be pointed oat. From the gain in oats it would be too much to infer an increase in horses, and, in faot, in comparison with other stock, they show the heaviest reduction forty-nine per cent. The chivalry here come in for a neat rap from the Governor, who trusts that this re duction is "in the appliances of idleness rather than of labor," and adds that if it really means "an advance of certain indolent eques trians to the honorable condition of what John Stuart Mill terms 'bread winners,' " it will prove "a very decided gain to both the dismounted horsemen and to the prostrate State." This language, it must be remembered, is fro an one who, as he admits further on in the message, was once a slave-owner. Gov ernor Alcorn does more, however, than ridi cule the typical Southerner on horsebaok. He is full of allusions, by no means compli mentary, to the "old regime," and nearly half bis message is devoted to the vindication of the character and conduct of the blacks sometimes directly, usually in comparison with the whites. "A material survey," like that afforded by the first table, does not, he says, "present any such proof that we are working out of ruin, as that presented by a moral survey," and his inquiries into the "capacity of the oolored people for well ordered freedom" have deepened bis convic tions that reconstruction in Mississippi "goes forward to the sure consummation of moral and material triumph." The illegal relation of the sexes under slavery was changed by the new Constitution of the State into a legal one, and thereafter marriage licenses began to be issued, as in the case of whites. The white and colored population of thirty-one counties in 1HC0 was 18!,G45 and 23,i:iO, respectively. Inl8;r there were 2708 licenses issued to the whites, and only 501 to the blaoks; in 18G(J, 312J to the former, against 3U79 to the latter; and since that year the blacks have surpassed the whites both in the whole number of mar riages, ana .since isubj in the per centage to the total population. Do the freed people raise their children as carefully as they were raised in slavery ? Here, as might be supposed, the census of 18GQ is of almost no value; but a? between blacks and whites the census of 1870 for the six counties fchows that the ratio between the children under one year is not maintained (on the part of the blacks) for the children between one and five that the difference is in faot nearly two per cent. The teHtimonv of nnnthnr decade can be more Bafely trusted in this par ticular. We bave no space to examine in detail the various other joints in whioh the two classes of the population are compared. The fol lowing abstract will suffioientlv th 6tory, the blacks being always the more nu merous: ..........

As to negro improvidence, the figures are very significant. Since I860, tenant-farming among tha whites baa expanded one hundred Cer cent., but of course tha system was not nown to the negroes till after" the war. Yet in twenty-three counties in 1869, while the whites produced but 27,075 bales of ootton, the black tenant-farmers produced 40,r61; last year, 20,893 and 50,978, respectively. Again, in twenty counties in 18C9, tha white owners of the Boil grew 100,697 bales of oot ton; the colored landowners, 4645; last year, 102,491 and 6141 respectively. And finally in seven counties: colored people own real estate to a gross value of 30,6J0 3718 colored people own pcrsonaltjr to a gross value or...., 630,663 178 colored people own both realty and per- ouutiiiji.ua gross value or weu,iuw These people were penniless in 1865. The criminal statistics call for examination. but we must pasa them by, merely alluding to ine aeierminea attitude of Governor Aloorn in regard to the carrying of deadly weapons. ue commend tnis ana all other parts of the mespage to thoughtful men every where, aud conciuae wun repeating our satisfaction that the State of Mississippi is so well led, and that the demolition of the old rubbish pro mises to be succeeded by a noble structure. THE TENNESSEE AND ADMIRAL PORTER. From the X. Y. World, The Admiral has been doing it again. In the days of Admiral Farragut, when Porter's statements were reported to him, he would dispose of them with the remark, "Poor David I He can't help it; it is constitu tional with him." If the gallant old Admi ral were alive now he would conolude that the constitution of bis successor has not received any shock since those old days, and that the imagination of his "David" only gTows brighter as his uniform glistens with more numerous stars. Admiral Porter states to the publio his theory of the Tennessee's disappearance. He accounts for it by the very obvious method of stretching geography till the distances are great enough to require all the elapsed time for the Tennessee to ovoroome them. He says that she must have sailed "ten thousand eight hundred and ninety miles" before she could be heaid from, and that it "would take her ten days to reach Samana Bay." Sindy Hook is in latitude 40 dcg. 28 min. north and longitude 74 deg. west. Samana Bay is in 19 ieg. north latitude and 69 deg. west longi tude. From point to point is a straight line without any obstructions within three hundred miles of the course, except the American coast, which is always growing more distant The distance is less than thirteen hundred miles; and from Samana Bay the ship should bave been heard from. The Admiral says it would take ten days to go to Samana Bay. That is true probably if no accident hap pened, which is the Admiral's hypothesis; but what an admission ! A first-class man-of-war rent on an expeditions expedition, with all haste, in order to get a speedy report for Congress to act npon before. March, is only expected to go one hundred and thirty miles a day. At that rate she would need twenty three days to go to England; and if she were expected to carry our flag to China a genera tion might pass away before she would be heard from. The Admiral says that she would lose a hundred miles in crossing the Golf Stream, which, according to him, "runs four knots an hour." She would cross the Gulf just south of Ilatteras, and the strength of the current there is almost spent, and does not exceed a mile and a half an hour. If the Admiral were right, however, in the speed of the current and of the ship, then we might look for her on the European coasts, where the Northmen are said to have found strange skin garments cast npon the shore, suggest ing another hemisphere; for a ship that can only go a hundred and thirty miles a day would be carried almost there by a current going ninety-six miles a day before she could get out of it. The track of this ship was exactly the track of the Pacific mail steamers to Aspinwall. Tbey steer due south from New York, and if there is no heavy weather to drive them out of their couise tbey strike the "windward passage," which is at the west end of San Domingo, in five days and a night, expeoting to make the passage in the morning of the sixth day and go through by daylight. If the weather is bad and they have to go through by night, and they do not get observations, they are apt to run for the "Mona passage," which is at the east end of the island, and which is wider and safer in the night, and which from New York is forty miles or bo further than the other. San Domingo lies between these two passages, and these steam ers pass it on one band or the other, both coming and going, on all their voyages. If they took ten days to go to San Domingo tbey wonld use up sixteen to Aspinwall, and when a passenger would see California exceeds our arithmetical power to calculate. We think that the Navy Department ought to do better than that story. We also observe that Congressman nale informs the country that these ships were all worn out in the service of the war, and there fore are not fit for present duty. The faot is that the vessels of tho class of the Tennessee bave never been at sea at all tbey are all new ships. One of them the Wampanoag, we think they called her was ordered into com mission as the nag-ship of the Atlantic squadron. She got as far as Hampton Roads and was found unfit for sea, and came back to New York, whence she never again ven tured. This ship, we think, was never out of harbor but onoe before, and then upon a short cruise (in distance, not time, we mean) to the West Indies and back; and then she was altered. The other ships of her class have never been at sea at all, but lie at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, cov ered over with bouses, and appearing to the passer on the' river as a cluster of work sheds in a spar-yard. Not one of these ships is capable of going to sea and staying there we mean, of course, vtiuntirvy staying there and that is well known to Admiral Porter, and we think ho will not deny it. The Tennessee's case is no exception to the role, and it is probably a good thing that her absolute unfitness for any use should Lave appeared now, so that we may consider what to do, and decide at least intelligently any question of , foreign war which may herealter emerge. It is certain we have no navy, and the country ought to know it. WHISKY, WINE, ETQi AnSTAIRS A McCALL. Ko. 126 Walnut and 21 Granite Eti IMPOUTRfiJSOV BrandUc, Wine, Gin, OIIti Oil, Eta.
