LETTER FROM PARIS.
14.:orreepondenee of the Philadelphia Reelable Bulletin.
Pan's, Tuesday,March 17,1818.—The Muniteur
of this morning, chimes in with the renewed feel
lug of confidence respecting American affairs
which I last week represented as having now be_
come, the prevailing impression in this capital.
"Our letters from New York," the official journal
says, "represent the commotion raised by the
conflict between the President and the majority
of the Congress, as every day tending to grow
calmer. The fears at first entertalned,of an appeal
to force between the partisans of Johnson and the
defendem of Congress, have not been long in
being dissipated; and the public now calmly
awaits the result of the accusation directed against
the First Magistrate of the Republic."
I can see that this attitude of the American
people, at ,such a momentous crisis of their
history, is regarded with a sort of "dazed"
feeling by French political men;—with a feel
ing divided between amazement, admiration
and almost incredulity. What! The two
chief powers of the State are come to an
open rupture, to a joint struggle as to whose au
thority is , to be uppermost, and there is to be no
.fighting, no homicides, no coup (Mat ! Such a
course of events is so entirely discordant with
the geneial character of what are called " poli
ties" in France, that people here can't believe
it possible—any mere than they could believe
that a million of Federal soldiers would lay down
their arms and march home after the war was
over, without some victorious General putting
himself at their head and making himself, as
they say hero, "master of the situation."
This aspect of affairs at home, and the spec
tacle of two great parties preparing to submit
their differences to legal and constitutional arbi
trament, instead of deciding them v et armis, is
calculated, as I have said, to create a deep Ira
preasion in Europe, and will undoubtedly ad
'vane° immensely the interests of the Republican
party in this country especially. The issue of
the great military crisis had already dumb
?funded many an adversary of American institu
tions, both in France and England. If the United
States pass as triumphantly through the present
political crisis, they will set an example- which
will give an irresistible impulse towards the
tarther_extension. of Oat "United States of
Tr [trope' of which Mr. Bancroti sagicloisly saw,
the germ In the late reorganization of united
Germany.
The only hoffie item of any importance is one
which leads Into a totally different train of re
flection, and opens out quite a contrary prospect
of the future from the above. Yesterday the
Prince Imperial entered upon his thirteenth
year, and • has now only four years
•to run before attaining his legal ma
jority. The event assumes, of course, every
year, more and more importance, and is there
fore marked with more and more official notice
and ceremony, because, upon its safe pregress
in, and development to the desired climax, are
felt to depend the fortunes of the Second Empire
and its dynasty. Accordingly, yesterday, every
school-boy in France, that is the entire rising
generation, watt-made to feel a personal interest
In the anniversary and the imperial scion whose
birth it commemorated, by having a holiday for
the occasion. Every school in Paris was out and a
play, and to a certain extent even the general
population took part in the festival. The army
of course was not forgotten to be propitiated.
Punishments were remitted, rations and wine in
creased and decorations distributed. The Emperor
reviewed the guards, the Prince attending his
father, mounted no longer on his pony, but on a
spirited little Arab, which he rode with great ease
and grace. His little Highness was attired in the
full uniform of a superior officer of the Grenadier
Guards, and not in the childish costume
of a " corporal," which he has
hitherto worn. He, was loudly cheered
by the troops, who evidently assigned to
him all the honors of the day. In the. evenitu t
the Prince "received" a party of sixteen of his
"prilate" friends to dinner in his own "apart
int nt," and proposed the health of "the P.tope
ror and Empress," with all becoming loyalty
and gravity. He Is growing a fine tall boy. with
wonderful manners for his age, and very attrac
tive and engaging from inheriting much of his
mother's charm and grace of beauty. But he
will need to be n ore of "sterner stuff" than this.
if be as to run with -success the race that is set
before bim, and hold his own against the all but
inevitable influence of example which, as I have
intimated above, are so evidently now setting no
longer from East to Wust, but from West to
East.
The imperial pamphlet, of which I intimated
last week, the approaching publication, is still
looked for with considerable curiosity. It was
thought that it might appear on the Prince's
birthday, as a sort of new appeal to the loyalty
and allegiance of the population. Lo France says
that its title will be "Les Titres de la dyna.ctic Nu
pcdt.nienne," and that its object will be to recall
and freshen up the memory of the plebiscites
which founded the empire, the exercise
of the right of universal suffrage,
and all the consequent action and policy
which have marked the Imperial regime and
stamped it with what is supposed to be its popu
lar and national character. The pamphlet will,
It is now thought, appear as soon as the two
bills, at present passing through the Legislature,
have "consecrated the principles of the liberty of
the press and the right of public meeting." Of
the latter bill, now under discussion, all that can
be said is that it is a worthy colleague of the
former. The one says that the "press shall be
free," and then proceeds to load it with chains,
lest it should dare attempt to walk; the other
allows the people to "meet" indeed, but makes it
eo perilous for them to open their mouth in
public, that they might almost as well stay at
home. There is small interest in discussing
measures which are so evidently only shams.
The disturbances at Toulouse, Nantes, and also
at Montauben, on the occasion of the enrollment
for the new mobilized National Guard, have
entirely ceased. They were never perhaps very
alarming; but the promptitude with which they
were checked, shows the prodigious military
power which the government wields and can
Dung to bear on any point, at any moment.
An article in the Moniteur relative to reduced
railway tariffs for the transport of bread stuffs,
tells us the quantity of grain imported Into
France to supply the deficiency of the last har
vt- :4. Since that deficienCy became evident, '
down to the end of last February, i?G millions
of hectelltes of cereals have entered Fiance from
abroad, or nearly 20 millions of bushels. At the
port of Marseilles alone, after the suppression of
the additional tax on foreign bottoms, nearly
3 millions of bushels were entered in two months
against little more than half a million during
the two previous months. The same article
states the price of the hectolites (about
bushels) of wheat at from 26 to 30 francs in the
East, and 31 to SG francs in the centre and south
west of France.

Suicide In Middletown, Pa.
(From the State Guard, of March 80.)
About eleven o'clock yesterday morning Coro
ner James Porter, of this city received a despatch
lrom Middletown requiring his official attendance
immediately. Taking a conveyance, he started
for that place, and found upon his arrival that
Mr. Solomon Landis, an old and respectable citi
zen of the place, had committed suicide. Coroner
Porter promptly summoned a Jury of the follow
ing named gentlemen : Messrs. Theodore S. Lav
erty, Michael B. Ramler, Joseph J. McCord, Jno.
H. Zearing, Walter I. Kendig and Christian Kett
enonr. After hearing all the facts in the case,
the Jury rendered a verdict to the effect that the
deceased came to his death by his own hand,
from the wilful discharge of a rifle, and that far
some timeprevious to hie death he had been
laboring under great anxiety and mental aberra
tion.
The evidence went to show that Mr. Landis had
become involved in some difficulty by which he
wad the loser, pecuniarily, of twelve or fifteen
hundred dollars, and• that he had brooded and
worried over it greatly. It seems that, after
eating his breakfast yesterday morning, he
seemed more cheerful than usual. He went up
stairs, locked the door of his room, took off his
shoes, took his rifle, which was standing loaded
in one corner, walked out of a side door on a
'balcony, cocked the gun, placed one corner of the
stock in a knot-hole in the floor and the muzzle
over his heart and then pressed the trigger with
the ramrod. He was found by his wife with the
rifle on one side and the ramrod on the other,
quite dead.
Mr. LavidLs was well advanced in years, .being
upward of seventy, and was reported to be worth
from $50,000 to .75,000. We are informed that
he was liable, under ills of despondency, to make
attempts upon his life, and that some six years
ago he attempted to hang himself and was only
saved by his wife who found him and cut the
rope from which he was suspended.

Humes spread rapidly. Notwithstanding the
!torts of the firemen the structure was gaited.
and the contents, comirising a large quantity of
material, both in a partly finished and finished
condition, was destroyed. The machinery was
either ruined or badly damaged. It was owned

was not ascertained, but It is fully covered by
insurance.

A FIGIITING BAVINDLEB.--.A man named James
O'Connell was arrested yesteplay at Seventeenth
and t3bippen streetti,upon the charge of false pre-
If lives ana assault and battery. He had been
uniting various houses in tbeTwenty-sikth ward,
collecting money and representing that it was
for the benefit of a soldier who had lost
fioth legs. When women answered the
(Incas and refused to contribute, it is al
it :.:ed he threatened them. Policeman
Meanah happened to witneas some of the opera
hens of O'Connell, and arrested him. He offered
NI. :.nab all he had'enllected (34 50) if he would
lat him off. This did not work, and while the '
attention of the officer was temporarily with
drawn from his prisoner, he was struck a violent
blow on the temple and was felled to the ground.
O'Connell then ran, but the offie-r got up and
pursued him to Seventeenth and Bhippen streets,
where be captured him after some fighting.
O'Connell was committed by Md. Patchel.
INTERESTING LECITEE.—We would call atten
tion to a lecture to be delivered this evening at
Musical Fund Hall, by Rev. Dr. Allen, of "Old
Pine Street" Presbyterian Church, and successor
of the lamented Dr. Brainerd. Subject: "Ob
servations and Experiences In the Southwest."
The Doctor's experiences prior to. during, and
since the rebellion were varied and extensive,and
have been woven into an instructive
lad eloquent lecture. The struggles, suffer
ings and persistent loyalty of the patriots of
the South will always form an interesting page
in the history of our country, and while at this
time there are so many in our millet prating for
sympathy for our"misg-ulded brethren," it is well
to revive the recollection of the sacrifices made
by the logal Sonthrons. The Doctor is one of
our most eloquent divines, and we trust the hall
may be well filled, both as a compliment to the
I,eturer, and to assist the benevolent object in
half of which he beg kindly consented to speak.

Eta:la.:Rs IN A SyNAGootre.—The Synagogue on
Sixth street. above Brown, was entered on Sim
la) night, by breaking through the wall at the
~r on Bandoll,h street. The robbers first got
tito the Committee-room, where there is a fire
proof safe. A hole was bored into the safe and
Lunpowder was inserted. The safe was
blown open. It was found to contain
nothing of any value to the thieves.
Tile papers which were in it were taken out
a -II thrown about the floor of the room. Other
portions of the building were ransacked and
every closet was broken open, but the scoundrels
were obliged to leave without obtaining any
booty. They left behind them a lot of powder
and a blanket, which had been used to prevent
the sound of the stones which fell when the wall
was being broken through.
Surrosxo MuunErt,—The who was found
dead on the Darby road below Market street, last
week, has not yet been identified. It will be re
membired that he was shot, and that a pistol was
found by his side. It was generally supposed
that be had committed suicide. Several
circumstances which have come to light lead
to the impression that the deceased
met with foul play, and the Coroner Is taking
measures to thoroughly Investigate the matter.
The deceased bad on a white felt hat, low
crowned and stiff brimmed. On the inside was
a paper having upon it in German-text the let
ters "A. G." There was also what appeared to
be "A. B." or "A. R.," the last letter being some
what obliterated by blood.
STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED.- Detectives Ste
phens and Fuller have succeeded, after con
siderable difficulty, in recovering a portion of the
goods stolen by Jas. Walsh and Henry Morgan,
while pretending to inspect the gas•pipes in va
rious private residences; Among the valuables
recovered is an ancient watch, formerly the pro
perty of Mayor Robert Wharton; the forks and
spoons stolen from 710 Pine street, a pair of gold
spectacles, a eliver„cup, and other articles. The
officers deserve credit for their prompt efficiency
in'the capture of the thieves and the recovery of
the property.
VITX BROS.' sale of elegant ornaments; bronzes,

one-half of the catalogue was disposed of. The

at which time the remainder of the collection

Medal Despatch to the Philadelphia Eve ins Bulletin]
WASHINGTON, March 81st.—Mr. Van Horn said
there was one remark of Mr. Thomas's which ho
did not take down at the time, and Mr. Butler
desiring to know what it was, Mr. Van Horn said
that Mr. Thomas said to Mr. Stanton, in the con
versation, that he did not want any unpleasant
ness with him.
Mr. Moorhead, the next witness, another Con
gressman present at the time, gave from his ori
ginal memoranda an account of the interview.
Cross-examination of this witness was also
made by - Mr. Stanbery, and some points of it'
crated considerable merriment, as when ho
elicited the fact that Gem Thomas did not go
armed to take possession of the War Office.
Mr. Moorhead saying there was some unim
portant conversation which he did not remember,
such as jocose remarks, Mr. Stanbery tried to
get him to recollect some of these "jokes," but
without success.
The examinations by the-Managers have thus
far been very brief, while the counsel take it very
easily, and evidently seem disposed to use up as
much time as possible.
Mr. Burleigh, delegate from Dakotah, was the
next witness. On being asked it be knew Gen.
Thomas, Mr. Stanbery wished to know what the
prosecution expected to prove by this witness.
Mr. Butler announced that they expected to
prove that General Thomas intended to obtain
possession of the War Office by force.
Mr. Stanbery objected to the testimony of the
witness, and the Chief Justice decided that the
evidence was inadmissible.
Mr. Drake made a point that' the Chief Justice
bad no power to decide such a question. He pro
ceeded to speak in support of Lis view, but was
called to order by Mr. Johnson, the question not
being debatable- '
Mr. Chase stated the position to bo that the
Chief Justice, as presiding officer, had a right to
decide legal points, and that any Senator differr•
ing could appeal to the Senate whether anal de
cision should stand as the sense of the Court.
Mr. Butler rose and asked if this right also ex
tended to Managers, and the Chief Justice sold
he thought it did not.
Mr. Butler proceeded to speak In opposition to
the decision of the Chair. He did not consider
the Chief Justice a member of the Court, and in
sisted as a vital point that he could not stand
between the Manager s
. and the Senate, to privent
them from submitting on the part of the House
of Representatives a question of law, except by
the courtesy of some Senators. He cited pre
cedents from English Impeachment trials in
support of his position.
SOFT FELT HATS
The Chief Justice re-stated his position that it
was his duty to decide upon further admissible
evidence, subject to the decision of the Senate,
ehould any Senator desire to have the question
submitted, and said that the question before . the
Senate now was whether his view should be sus
caned.
Mr. Drake excitedly interposed at this point,
saying that he objected to the right of the Chief
Justice to decide a question 'of this kind, and was
rapped down as out of order.
Mr. Conkling asked to have the rule of the
Senate in relation to this subject read, which
was done, and Mr. Bingham then spoke briefly
in opposition, to the right of the Chief Justice to
decide any question. '
Senator Wilson moved that the Senate retire
for consultation, which proposition seemed to
meet with general disapproval.
Mr. Sherman submitted in writing a question,
asking the managers for information as to Amer-
lean precedents on this subject.
Mr. Boutwell followed in an argument that the
Constitution vested in the &nate exclusive au
thority over all questions whisk could arise in
the course of the trial.
Sot' I FELT 11-Vni
Mr. Bingham then read au abstract of authori
ties on the subject.
Mr. Butler than read from the
trial of Judge Chase to show that
the presiding officer at that time did not de
cide incidental questions of law which arose, but
aubmitted them to the Senate.
Mr. Everts very briefly argued that the Chief
Justice should make preliminary decisions on in
terlocutory questions.
The question being then put and the ayes and
nays being called, whether the Senate should re
tire for deliberation, the vote stood—ayes 25,
nye 25, and the Chief Justice announced that he
voted in the atlrmative, declaring the motion
curried.

The headquarter of tne Erie Directors in Jersey City
were literal y besieged yesterday by rittmerous parties
from New York, anxious to ascertain the whereabouts of
Mr. Jay Gould, whose departure from Je , soy City was
exclusively reported in yesterday's Tribune. Not.
withstanding the many inquiries, very little
infonnaticn was obtained beyond the fact
that Mr. Gould actually left on Saturday
evening, hut his present whereabouts are only known te

yesterday's Tribune stated that it was surmised by those
who were supposed to bo well informed, th'tt Mr. lgonhd
would turn up somewhere in Ohio, whitker he had gone
to n gotiate for the building of the Broad Gauge con

Gould did not make his appearance in the West, it would
