ORIiEAJVISM IS FBASCE. , One of the Buixetih's Paris correspond ents has aMed to the recent agitation in Prance among the partisans of the house of Orleans. Of course all such agitation is secret, and the French newspapers dare not aiiuds to it. But the agitations that have preceded French political convulsions have always been secret at first A trifling occur ence has, in some instances, caused them to break out suddenly. In France, at the pre sent moment any accident to the Emperor or hia son might precipitate a convulsion, and drive the French people to an effort to establish a hew form of government The position of the imperial family has Sever been so critical as it is now. The Ern neror has lost prestige, popularity and power. The German triumphs in 186 G were calami tous to him more than to France. The terri ble lailnre of his Mexican expedition, which tras undertaken by him without the approval •f his people, was a blow both to him and to France. His course with respect ’to the United States, during the rebellion, is now Seen to have been extremely damaging, and it bas deprived him of much of his popularity. own comprehension of the depreciation cf his power and dignity has led him to the extraordinary, dangerous and unpopu lar measure of increasing his army and navy in a time of profound peace. The national debt has swollen im mensely, and no specious tables of estimates can be contrived by which the revenues of the Empire can be-made to approach the ex penditures. The French people have, under the Napoleon system, the prospect of eyer-rn ereasing taxation, with no compensation in j the shape ot new territorial, political or com mercial advantages, or in the better shape of enlarged personal liberty. It is natural, therefore, that there should be speculations concerning a probable relief when the Napoleon system tomes to an end, and that the death of the present Napoleon should be looked forward to as a convenient and not remote date for trying a new system. Naturally, the Orleans party gtinß Strength as the Napoleon party loses it. Republican experiments have so failed in France, that a constitutional limited monar chy, as free as those of England, or Bel gium, or Italy, is what a large mass of the French people hope for. There is no Bona parte that could be trusted as head of such a monarchy, and the youth and feebleness of the Prince Imperial would deprive him oi all chance of becoming such head. The representative "of the elder Bourbon branch, is the Count of Cham bord, iondly called Henry Fifth by. the old noblesse and legitimist party. But he is n of no force of character, and is without an heir. So the legitimists turn to the younger Bourbon branch, the House of Orleans, the beir of which is the Count of Paris, a fine Jellow of thirty, who was educated in Eng land, who has Bhown warm interest in Ameri can affairs, and who has had experience of military and civil life in this country during a gejourn of a couple of years in the time of the rebellion, serving on the staff of the com mander of the Army of the Potomac. He is jmarried to bis firat cousin, daughter of the. Duke of Montpensier, and, like him self a grand-Child of LOUis Philippe’s. In case of a popular convulsion in France, and a reaction in favor of the Orleans family, the Count of Paris would be found admirably qualified by race, by education and by intel ligence, to wield the sceptre of a liberal | monarchy, under the title of Louis Philippe Second. This is the dream of the legitimist party in France at the present time, as the oppressions and taxations of the Empire and the decadence of the Emperor’s and his son’s health are brought to their minds. Things much stranger than the fulfilment of this dream have come to pass in French history during the past hundred years. *■ OIBARD Among the curiosities of evidence contained fa the report of the Girard College Investi gating Committee few are more remarkable than the circumstances connected with Presi dent Allen’s re-election. It will be remem bered that Major Smith’s expulsion from the (College was followed by the immediate elec tion of Mr. Allen, the former President, and H was one of the points of investigation to ascertain whether Mr. Allen was in any way a party to the conduct of the ten Diredtors in this discreditable business. The whole ten testify that he was not; but this singular coincidence was brought to light, to wit: that just before the dismissal of Major Smith, seven out of the ten of these Directors either met Mr. Allen accidentally in the ntreet, or were called upon by him at their houses or places of business. In most cases the affairs of the College were discussed. Mr. Boswell says that Mr. Allen said that “if a vacancy occurred, and he was invited by the Board, he would fill the position;” -To be BU rc, Jttr. Boswell's memory fails on this point before hegetsthrough his examination, but so it does on moat other points. Mr. Haines met : Mi'. Allen ‘.‘accidentally,” and they talked over a change in the Presidency. Mr. Fry had a visit .from Mr. Alien, by ap pointment, and was told by him that “he , felt he had ten-years of young life to , give to the College." Mr. Roberts first says j that in his “accidental” interview with Mr. : Allen he “found he had no place,” but “did not intimate anything to him.” Mr. Roberts, afterwards, in the same examination, flatly contradicts himself, and says, “I asked him if he would accept the situation. He said he would. His expression was, that there was ten years of good work in him yet; I dont want to be idle.” Mr. Roberts probably changes Mr. Allen’s grammar a little, but that does not affect the general point. Mr. Horne next meets Mr. Allen, still merely by acci dent. He at once offers him the vacancy, and gets about the same answer; “probably I might be induced to ac cept that, if there was a vacancy. Then Mr. Remsan has a visit from Mr. Allen, just before the election, but does not recollectwhether anything was said about the vacancy or not. Mr. Foust is called upon, the day before the election, by Mr. Allen, who repeats the suggestive remark about hav ing several years of labor in him yet, and tha he would accept the position if offered to him. . Here is a very remarkable series ot acci dents, all tending to one single point; but they are not the whole proof in the case. Mr. Moore, in his testimony, lets out the import ant fact, that two years before, a caucus was held,and a proposition to oust Major Smith and reinstate Mr. Allen was presented by ah inti mate friend of the latter, which shows that the project was not such a new one as some of the witnesses would have us think. But the only really clear account of these interviews with Mr. AUen is .given in the ■evidence of Mr. Heaton, upon whom Mr. Allen evidently called by mistake. Mr. Heaton was not in when Mr. Allen first called,two days before the election, nor when he called the next dayjbut he waited for him, the second time, until his return. Mr- Heaton then says: “I met him very kindly, as I had been his firm and last friend in this Board some years before, ahd -we had a general conversation on matters personal to himself, until he said, as it were, ‘How are things progressing at the Col lege?’ I said, ‘On the whole favorably! He said, ‘1 nave been asked whether I would take the Presidency again—l always enjoyed myself there, it was a pleaeant home for me.’ Then he stopped. I said to him: ‘lt was hard, sir; I was instructed by some of the members of the Board, some time ago, to open a correspondence with yon in rela tion to the Presidency, but I ascertained that the ground upon which the resolution was based was not tenable, and I never took any action m the matter; however, sir, if there had been a vacancy, and yon had been Dominated, yon wonid have re ceived fifteen out of the eighteen votes, if not the entire vote of the Board.’ ~ ... „ "I mention this to explain. He said, Now von have introduced the subject,’ which struck me at the time as peculiar , ‘now you have introduced the Bubject, I will say that if the vacancy should occur there, and I should receive a liberal ma jority—not a bare majority—l would take the 6aid to him, ‘Mr. 'Allen, yeu know what my lelatlons with you have always been; Major Smith was called -from his place in the WfiMK resigned his position ond accepted this in gooSsaUb. He has performed the duty, so far as I knowTfaithfnfly; and although my feelings for you are of a very warm character, 6till I could never vote for the removal of Major Smith with- ‘You do perfectly right;’ and shortly after that he left.” Mr. Heaton is a clear-headed, experienced business man, and this interview evidently., made an impression on him. In the same examination Mr. Heaton defines this im pression, which is condensed from several of his answers: “Well, if a gentleman were to call upon me, and ask me if I had $5OO over. I should suppose that he wanted to borrow it, and if I were to say no, I should feel authorized to say that he had applied to me to borrow money; just upon that basis I had the impression that Mr. Allen soli cited my vote. When a gentleman informs me that thebe fe a vacancy that he is ready to take, by implication I should think that he had soli cited my vote, and would take it.” “After what occurred, and after he had sus tained me in my view as to the impropriety of my voting while Mr. Smith was there, or using my influence to turn Mr Smith out, he having as sented to the question, it struck me as a high toned gentleman, it struck me as very bad taste to accept the dflice. I may state lurther, That I followed him to the door, and when I reached the door, this conversation impressed me rather more Eetionely tb&n it did nt first, as. to the object of Mr. Allen’s calling upon me. At first I thought it was friendship, lat last began to conceive it was not altogether friendship. Taking all these points in connection, they certainly go to show that tho coincidence by which these ten Directors came together at the meeting of the Hoard,without any precon cert or understanding, and by which they all suddenly agreed to put Major Smith out, and Mr. Allen in, is one of the most remarkable ~ freaks of chance, on reeord. Those who wish to believe it can do so. Hon. Charles O’Neill, member of Congress for the Second District, deserves the thanks of all Philadelphians for his energetic and successful exertions to secure a sufficient ap propriation for completing the Appraisers’ stores, on the site of the old Pennsylvania Bank building. The appropriation had been cut down in committee from $75,000 to $25,000.- But Mr. O’Neill, aided by Messrs. Kelley and Stevens, succeeded in having the original amount restored, and there is now a prospect ol haying the work go on to com pletion. Retrenchment and economy are much needed everywhere; but as the Govern ment ■ haß to pay more for the rent of ap praisers’stores than the interest on this ap propriation, it is true economy to complete the structure. This view was forcibly pre sented by Mr. O’Neill and his colleagues, and the sum asked for was voted. A bill to prevent the placing of gates, posts or buildings by any turnpike or other corpo ration, upon any portion pf the highways within the hounds of the consolidated city of Philadelphia, has passed the State Senate, and gone to the House. It is provided, however, that nothing in the bill shall be construed to interfere with the right of turn pike companies to collect tolls on said high ways. .Toll-gates and toll-gathering are both nuisances, and both should he abolished* \ speedily as possible. There is a growing feeling in favor of the purchase of all the turnpikes within the city bounds, by the city, and the abolition of troublesome exactions THE DAILY EVENING TUIT I ETIN.-PHILADELPHIA. -ATITH PAY.
