CAUSE OF THE EMPIRE.
An Imperialist Manifesto M. Clement I)n
Ttruoli a. m. Herald of au Approaching
Campaign.
From the fall Mall Gazette, March 30.
M. Clement Duvernoia, who for some yenrs
acted as a kind of literary aide-de-camp to the
Emperor Napoleon, and was afterwards Minis
ter of Agriculture under the Regency, has ad
dressed a letter to M. Thiers, which may be
taken as a sign that the imperialists are now
prepared to enter on an active campaign for the
restoration of the dynasty, if not personally o
the ex-Emperor himself
Starting with tho assumption that the chief
necessity of the Lour Is ri reorganization and
consolidation of the different sections of the
Conservative party in France, In order to make
bead against anarchy and prevent the dismem
berment of the country. M. Duvernoia proceeds
to consider how this is to be accomplished.
From the present Government he has nothing
to hope. Just as the Government of National
Defense occupied itself much more actively
is fighting against the Empire than fight
ing ugalnht the i'russians, so the Govern
ment which succeeded have thought only of
denouncing the Bonapartists, instead of re
pressing the designs of tho demagogues. He
viewing the principal accusation against the
Empire, he retorts them upon NL Thiers and
bis Ministers. It was they, be declares, who, by
their speeches, denouncing the aggrandizement
of Prussia, rendered war Inevitable; it was they
who crippled the military resource of France
by their opposition to permanent armies, the
war budget and the contingent. M. Ouvernois
also asserts that peace on favorable terms might
have been made after Sedai if M. Thiers
and Lis friends had not overthrown the re
sponsible Government, and reminds them
that for the miserable state of I'arU at the
present moment they arc responsible, in
bo far as they demanded the arming of the Na
tional Guards of Belleville and Montmartre.
National bankruptcy must be the Inevitable re
sult, if civil war comes to comolute the work of
invasion; but with a strong ami respited Gov
ernment, a Government that could restore and
maintain order, and so fortify tho financial
credit of France and secure free scope for In
dustrial activity, the country would soon emerge
from her present desolate condition.
M. Duverriolx then goes on to untold the Pro
sy .
V gramme ot the empire:
The Kmplre, as we understand It, Is not a party :
I It Is a principle and a system. The principle j that
I of a monarchy based upon tiie national will directly
expressed; the system Is the conciliation of classes
uuder the aiiMplces of a strong power. We bellevo

Is a monarchy r sting on 'ne national sovereignty.
We believe that In a country where socialism u at
work It Is necessary, on the one hand, to protect the
bourgeoisie, and, on the other, to take luto account
the aspirations of democracy, in as far as they ar
practical and legitimate. We have neit her hatred for
Hie people of the (treat towns who are stirred no In a

the rest la groaning over inein. nut in pi ace or
taking our stsndpoini on the one or the other of
these two unstable elements, we are resting on that
which In all countries of the world Is ths basis of
government landec. property. In England we woild
be Tories, and In Prance we are Democrats, h'tcttise
in England property Is concentrated, while In Prince
It la divided. A monarchy having for Its base tin
conservative Democracy, and conciliating the inte
rests which the revolution brings to the front that
Is oar system. What la there factious In lt7"
As long as a Government of this kind I es
tablished M.Duvernols professes to be Indifferent
whether the old dynasty Is re-established or the
princes of the right divine restored. All he
asks la that the country should be saved by the
union of the Conservatives, and should then be
left free to choose whatever government It pre
fers; but there can hardly be a question in what
direction bis letter points.
BOSTON'S SENSATION.
The French Fair Magnificent Scene at
the lloittoii Theatre Great Gathering of
Ileauty, Wealth, Fashion, and DUtliie
tlon.
boston talks, thinks, and dreams of nothing
but tbe French. Fair. Her newspapers are full of
the subject, and on teeing the accounts tbe
triumphs of our great Saultary Fair in lS')t are
brought to mind. Boston must try again, how
lever, and many times, before she can rival the
I comDleteneis of that wonderful bazaar. We
I take tbe following from the Traveller of Wed
nesday:
Tbe plans and efforts that for many weeks
have occupied, more or less directly, the minds
and sympathies or so many ladies ana gentle
men, not only of Bovton and vicinity, but of
various sections of Massachusetts and other
States, last evening reached Its culmination in
the formal opening, at the Dostoti theatre, of
ne of the most extensive, brilliant, and
promising fairs that this city has ever looked
upon. The idea of affording aid to the
suffering French by means ot a grand fair
was first carried luto effective acUou lake
In November or early in December by Mr.
IFrederic JI. Vlaux, the secretary ol au executive
committee which was appointed 1 1 iiave general
management of the affair, ine public are more
or less familiar, tnrougu iuo press, witn tbe
numerous meetings this commli tee have held,
of their action, and the contributions received
fin aid from time to time, very muca lias been
l done. also, as Is known to mort, by means ot con
ertu at tMvernl nf fha hotidtf arii.tenr the.ntrb'nl
performances, etc. As a result of the commit
tee's protracted efforts and the generous and
hanlable co-operation of tbe ladies represeni
ng the various tables promised, no doubt ex
sled that the event would be all that tbe most
Sanguine could desire.
the arrangements were of the most metho
dical and complete character, and nothing was
left undone which could In any manner add to
tho attractiveness or success of the fair. Lrly
aiouday morning tne worn 01 preparing lue
theatre commenced, ine parquetus was uoorei
over, and rrsdnaiiy tne various tames, stands,
and decorations were placed in position. But
it was not until yesterday noon that the pre
parations were so far advanced that the ladies
L began to spread out and arrange their st,rs
rr.f .efiiinulated treasures the nnrcliase. of coui-
n.hu-ei kiid friends, or the variei and beautiful
handiwork of delicate and skilful Augers. Busily
did tbe ladies have U work to put everything
in order for the hour of opening 7 o'clock. Bat
It was done, and to Perfection. The scene.
(when the flubbing touches had been added, was
extremely attractive. At the rear of the stage
( stood out prominently the beautiful and appro
priate drop scene, expressly paluted lor the
occasion, and representing the Lonvre and
Notre Dame. The stage was gracefully cano
pied with red, white, bine, and yelliw, both
above and at the sides. From the proscenium
bung an arched Mr, also of red, white, and bine.
Three chandeliers biMlnntly lighted up the
stage. The tables ranged along the sides of the
stifce and about the circle of tie auditorium
were overhung with fancy awnings striped In
colors. The tri-colored flag was every wuere seen
mingled In the drapery, nnd blended with the
American flag, or supported at regular intervals
on prettily-arranged and gay-colored lances.
At the appointed hour the patrons of the fair
began to arrive (very many in carries), and
by eight o'clock, notwith itandlng the threaten
ing weather, the dress circle was fliled. portions
of the family circle were occupied, and the
main floor was so completely filled as to render
locomotion very dilllcult. The view from the
bslcony after the thtoag had arrived was beau
tiful in the extreme and seemed like a peep Into
fairy land. The decorations, the rich, varied,
and many-colored toilets of the ladies, the shim
mer of numberless and variegated articles upon
the tables, and tho refreshing beauty of the
flower stand, appeared to the highest advantage
under the flood of gaslight from the immense
chandelier and its surrounding satellites. Not
only were the croVds on the malu floor, Gut
they surged through into the corridors, examin
ing the goods there displaced on tables and else
where, or proceeding to the refreshment room
in the rear of the family circle.
1 be following are descriptions of a few of the
ntimerotis tables, each of which has a president,
treasurer, and marshal, with lady assistants:
FHANCE.
This table, numbered one, occupies the post
ot honor in the centre of the rear of the slago.
At the rear is an excellent portrait of M. Thiers.
An artist's album, containing paintings by some
ot the bet artists In Boston, and valued at 1200,
is exhibited. Jt is to be sold in shares, and At a
late hour last night there had been a large num
ber of shares sold.
caViuudoe.
To the right a few steps Is a double table fur-
nlhbed by Cambridge. Mrs. Louis Agassiz is the
President- 1 he photographs and autographs of
William Cullen Bryant and Professors Pelree
and Agassis, of Cambridge, are offered here.
nBACO 8TKEET.
The principal attraction at this table is the
Icrge autograph album, containing the portrait
and autograph of not only every President of
the United states, from Washington to Grant,
but. of some hundreds of scientific and literary
men the world has ever produced. lh"
book is valued at fr'M, and will
be disposed of by ralllc.
I.ONDO.f TADI.E.
Nearly all the articles 011 this table were con
tributions tent direct from England to the fair.
The ladles in London have shown themselves
deeply Interested, and their donations have
been generous.
FAtlltAOUT T A RLE.
Tbe most expensive article is a set of silver
plate, consisting of ice pitcher, salver, goblets,
and fruit stand.
The ladles hero are dressed In naval ofllcer'
jackets, which are very appropriate and look
quite picturesque.
I.ADV WASHINGTON.
No. 27 is tbe Lady Washington tabic. On ex
hibition here, but not for sale, is a company roll
of one of the regiments of the State ot Massa
chusetts I'.ay, ol Kevolutionary days, in a good
state of preservation.
MLMIO DEPARTMENT.
The department of music Is situated on the
first balcony, is presided over by Mrs. Oliver
Diison, and, with music and flowers plentliuhy
supplied, is one of the cheeriest rooms in tho
whole building. there are some handsome
paintings here, one a fancy bend by Xlartwell,
attracting special attention.
TUB (JItAND SALOON.
Three departments are assigned to the sa1o-n
of the theatre. Two large tables are resp.!ctive:y
the Latin school table, under the chargsof Mrs.
F. W. At drews and "La Viole'to," Mrs. K. L.
Dorr. On the Latin-school table Is tb 5 beaii'l
ful statuette of ''Night," a necklace and locket
valued at $.7)00, and a music-box of rare work
inansbip containing six solid silver bells. These
three articles were purchased with tbe proceeds
of the late prl.e drill of the Latin School, and
will undoubtedly be sold to great advantage.
I he art gallery in the grand saloon contains
large pictures, some of which, are of unusual
worth. .
IlOItE IIIBI.E.
Adjoining the rnui-lcal department is a table
containing two volumes of Dores Bible, mu
nificently bound, and illustrated in the best
style of the celebrated French artist. The work
is of great pecuniary value, and is to be wold in
shares, of which a great many have already
been sold.

A Herlous Itlow to Tammany The lie-

A despatch from Albany to tbe N. Y. Tribune
(ays:
The Republicans In tbe Legislature are now
thoroughly organized, and In such a way as to
make it next to Impossible fdr any of the Tain-
many political bills to receive the votes of a
majority of the members elected to the Assem
bly. A caucus of the Kepumicansot botti nouses
was held this morning, and it was unanimously
retolvrd that Tweed's 1 wo 1'cr Cent. Board of
Apportionment Tax Levy, Tweed's Election bill,
Tweed's registry bill, Tweed's bill amend
ing the charter of New York city, and the
till amending the charier of Buffalo, are mea
sures whlcn no honent Republican can support.
A paper felling forth tne conclusions of the
caurus, and denouncing as a traitor to the party
any man who should lend or sell himself to
Tammany, has been Uned by every Republican
member ol the l-egieuiure. Ana now lei itie
people watch and see what Tweed, Hweeny ik
Co. will do under the circumstances. Mr.
Tweed has alresdy given up the idea of adjourn
ing tbe LfgiHature this week. A week from
lo-ulht Is now fixed f r Tammany's evacuation
of Albany. The following is the manifesto
lnued by the Republican caucus:
HfHjlcfi, That we regard the following hills now
pending before tbe Legislature as party measures,
The bill known as the KegUtry law for New York
city.
1 he mil to amend the Klwiion law.
Hie bill to amend tho Charter of the City of New
Vorit.
The bill commonly kuown as the Two I'er Cent.
Tax toll.

Chatter of bullaio.
And that no he pnbllcan can. consistently with his
psrty obligations, support either.

to Hipport the same.
The leaders of Ike Tammany Ring, despairing
of being able to corrupt any Asrciiihlyinaq of
the Republican party to support their tax levy
juirgie, and bill to destroy tinj Registry la, have
decided on a course of action which they hope
ill meet the emergency. No legislative busi
ness of an v kind la to b transacted until the
rest of Mr. Irving Is filled bv a special election
for the r alvatlon of tbe King. They have decided,
at leat, to attempt this de.peru'e enterprise,
but It remains to be teen whether Messrs. VVee.d,
Coon, Nichols, Randall, and other Democrats
rranlf'S'cd some signs of independence, and
some solicitude I t inn good name of the prty,
can t e got thus signally to degrade themselves,
soielj to strengthen Ring rule in New York city.
1 here are no bills of importance In the legisla
ture w hich cannot be readily ped. except the
six menM.res objected to by the Republic ins,
of which three are to strengthen King rale In
New York, and two to establish King rule In
Buffalo. None of these are vital to the Demo
cratic 1 arty, or can add one boncst voter to its
strength In any part of the Btate. It Is discre
ditable to the Democratic party that each and
all of thece bills do t"t encounter opposition In
the ranks of that servile organisation.

Kx pensive llrprwlttetlnn of a Personal
Item I.lliela nn Mini blml't Iliishaml.
From the I.mulim Helm, March SI.
At the Kingston Assizes, yesterday, the case of
Goldschmldt vs. Wyman was tried. This was
an action for libel brought by Mr. Otto Gold
schmldt, tbe husband of the celebrated canu
trice Jenny Lind, against the defendant, the
printer and publisher of a weekly newspaper
called 1'MhUo Opinion.
The fo.lowlng is the paragraph constituting
the libel:
"jENixr Ltni. We take tho following para
graph irotn Woo'UmH A: (Jlnfiin't Wrr.kbj of the
7th Inst., published in Sew York: Menny
LI tid's husband has at length run through the
splendid fortune with which she retired from
the lyric stage, and she Is compelled to teach
music for a living. The ill-maichcd pair have
reparutei by mutual consent, and the spend
thrift rnunt now shift for himself.' "
The HoUcitor-Gencral, in opening the case,
said that nineteen or twenty years ago Mr.
Goldschrnidt married bis present wife. It was
a marriage of alleclion, and they bad lived to
gether ever since, united in bonds of tbe hearti
est affection. The fortune which Madame Gold
schrnidt possessed was settler; upon her at the
time of the marriage, and since then it has been
largely increased, and the whole had been prac
tically under her control. They bad lived in n
moderate and prudent manner, and if there
bad been any excessive expenditure at all it had
been entirely In connection with, those munifi
cent and splendid acts of charity and generosity
with which the name of Madame Goldschmldt
would always be lndissoluhly ass iclated.
Madame Llnd-Goldschrnidt said she was a
native of Sweden. In Wii she married Mr.
Otto Goldi-chuiidt, who had assisted her at con
ceris in America. For some years they llvd at
Dresden, and In 185(1 they came to reside per
manently in England. Bince l8(ii they had
lived at Wimbledon. They had always resided
together, and had three children. Prior to her
msrriiige she was ponsesned of some fortune,
which was legally settled upon her. Her hus
band hnd most judiciously assisted in tbe man
agement of her property. Hhe always had a
clear knowledge of everything connected with
it. Her fortune remained Intact and unspent,
and since the marriage they had earned a con
siderable sum of money. That still remained
unspent and was under the care of her former
guardian. ,Slio had the most perfect freedom In
regard to her property, and Mr. Goldschmldt
had lived In a simple and inexpensive manner.
His amu-emenU and occupations bad never
been separated from those of the family. There
bad never been any pretense for saying that she
and ber husband were HI matched, and they had
never been separated, except when she had been
away for her health. They bad been continu
ally persecuted since their marriage, and Mr.
Goldschmldt had been treated almost as though
be were a scoundrel. They had been on lnti
inute terms with persons of the highest position,
many ot whom were in Court.
M r. Otto OoldHchrnldt gave corroborative testi
mony. He bad never been addicted to gam
bling. He hud never been near a gambling
table or billiard-taUe, nor had he ever had time
for such pursuits. He had no extravagant habits.
Every year a proportion of the Income was set
apart for M'me. Goldschrnidt, and two years ago
the whole of that amount had been vested for
ber in the names of trustees. M'me Goldschrnidt
possessed ut ihe present moment more than
double the amount of property she bad at tho
time of marry ing.
The Earl of Levcn had for four or five years
intimately kuown Mr. and M'me Goldschrnidt.
He bad never bad tbe slightest reason to doubt
that they lived together on tho best possible
terms. He did not know any ona who took
more care of his property than did tbe plaintiff.
Mr. Du Cane, solicitor, spoke In the highest
terms of the attention paid by the plain Li If to
tbe interests of his wife.
Mr. Hergcant Ballentine expressed his entire
concurrence with the high terms In which both
Mr. and Mine. Goldschmldt had been spoken of,
and admitted most fully that an indefensible
attack bad been made upon them. He urgod
that tbe paragraph In question bad been copied
from an American paper at a very busy timo,
and had beeu Inserted by the Inadvertency ot a
gentleman in whom the proprietors of the paper
bad always placed the utmost confidence. On
the matter being brought under their notice
they took the earliest opportunity of Inserting a
full and ample apology. They came luto Court
without any Intention to resist the verelct of
the jury, and bad Instructed him to admit fully
that the attack was a false and foul one; but he
mustat the same time ask the jury to consider
that their journal had, np to this time, been
conducted in a most respectable manner, and
that, when the fau.t was found out, they did
tbeir utmost to remedy it, and would have con
reuted to any course being taken with that
view.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff;
damages, X7.X).
In another action, Goldschmldt vs. 8pot'.Is
woode, the well-known printer, for the publi
cation ot a libel of a similar character in the
American Jyitr, jury gave a verdict of
X750; and In a third case, against a Mr. till If, a
verdict of XoOO was taken by consent.

has continued low, with only a slight rise on
tbe lakes and Eastern States. It has fallen a
little, bnt is now rising in tbe Mississippi ylley,
and has fallen very rapidly with threatening
weather and light rains In tbe 8onthern Atlantic
8tates. Tbe pressure Is stationary and rising
ortbe Pacific coast- The temperature is slightly
higher in tbe Northwest, with a heavy snow
storm in Western Nebraska.
Fresb and gentle northeasterly winds pre
vailed on Thursday on Lake Michigan, and have
now extended to Lako Erie and the Ohio Valley.
The clouds almost entirely cleared away yester
day north of Virginia and Tennessee, but are
now replaced by increasing haziness.
Probabilities: 1 is probable that the baro
meter will continue to rhe la the Northwest and
the lakes with northeasterly winds. Threaten
ing weather, with light rains In some few locali
ties, will probably be experienced on Central
Valley and in the Middle and Southern Atlantic
States. No serious disturbance is anticipated
during Friday.
