Free‘Trade and Protection—Tlie Con*
test in the French Chamber-Great
Speech of OT. Thiers—The American
Impeachment Qnesttoii—The French
in Japan—Horrible Retaliation.
[Correepondenee of ; the Philadelphia’ Evening Bulletin.]
' Paris, Tuesday, May 19th, 1868.— Theen tire
week has been occupied, in the French Chamber,
by the pitched battle going on there between free
trade and protection. One would think there
could be little left to say on such subjects which
all the world had not heard many times before.
Yet M. Thiers managed to 'throw off a speech
ghlch occupies nlnetecncoluinna of the .Übnt<<«r..
and M. Poycr-Qu'erticr, a great practical manu
facturer and protectionist, actually required
two whole sittings nearly to himself, before he
could relieve his mind, of , all the grievances
brought npon.it by the Commercial Treaty with
England. People belie have been remarking of
late upon the length of American speeches, and
especially of those: at Washington; but I think
the above two specimens show that In verbosity
and length of tongue French orators are not
easily outdone. The speech of M. Thiers
certainly reads like a very finely finished piece
of oratory, and so it ought to do; for,
after spending more than four hours
in delivering It, this indefatigable protectionist
and veteran statesman of more than seventy
j ears old actually passed the whole of the fol
lowing might in the office of tlic SlonUenr, cor
recting the proofs. He tyaa seen to go in focre
about 8 in the evening, and only emerged again
after sunrise. The business part of his speech,
and his formidable array of figures, was very fully
and gravely replied to by the Minister of Com
merce; and to that statement I must refer such of
your readers as desire to know either the advan
tages bestowed on France by free trade,or the con
siderable injury, which,, it is not denied, has been
sustained by many branches of commerce and in
dustry, and under which they are now chafing.
But the most dangerous aspect of M. Thiers’
speech, as regards the Government, was the way
he dwelt upon the mode of effecting the late
commercial changes. And it certainly is a mon
strous thing that any Executive should exercise
the powhr of making commercial treaties, raising
and lowering tariffs, changing the whole com
mercial policy of the country, solely by its own
will and pleasure, without even asking the as
sent of the;, nation or legislature.
This perilous responsibility M. Thiers drove’
home upon the Emperor with terrible force and
eficct. What we demand, he said, la that these
tariffs be discussed,by ourselves, judged by the
country; and foSSf, if the country be I wrong, the
i esponsibility falls pn itself, and it has no one but
Itself to. blame. But,our existing 'institutions
hand over the entire prosperity of toe country to
a single man; so that he, and hQ alone, can de
cide npon our treaties and decide npon onr tar
iffs. You Were obliged to tell the English,he said,
addressing too Ministers, that the Chambers, if
left at liberty, would not admit the new system;
and that, therefore, it " mnßt be brought in toe
shape of a treaty, or not at all. I defy you,
cried M. Thiers, almost fiercely—l defy you Jto
preserve at toe Tuflerlea a power like this, which
belongs only to the nation. At this moment,
some rash Imperialist,’ in his zeal, called M.
Thiers an “aristocrat.” And you, he cried, turn
ing npon him, amidst thunders of .applause from
the Left—you who call yourselves a democracy
you would give up all our destinies into too
bands of a single man. We know your
spurious democracy, whose only -thought is
to give itself a master; and we, will have hone of
it! I defy you, he again repeated, to dome here
and say you will keep too power to yourselves;
and I demanC that the liberty be restored to ns
of deciding such questions for ourselves. And so,'
also, M. Foyer-Quertier subsequently, declared
that “the Chamber had never been consulted in
any way npon the Treaty,” and threw the entire
responsibility upon toe Emperor. This is awk
ward language, and an awkward position for
Napoleon. Especially when it ls considered how
powerful the protectionist interest still is in
France, both in wealth, influence and oratorical
talent; how their Ideas are backed : by American
example, which has been constantly appealed to
throughout this debate; and, above alt, how
doubtful it is whether the majority of the French
people be hot still, in their hearts, protectionists.
All toe odium and ill will of these classes is thus
thrown personally npon toe Emperor, who, at
this moment, has quite enough “responsibility"
to stand under, without. any increase' to toe
weight of it
Intelligence of the vote of toe American Sen.
ate on the impeachment question has just reached
'us. It is surprising to see with what comparative
indifference too result is received in American cir
cles; and this indifference, and too entire absence of •
all public commotion at home, is no less a cause of
astonishment, not to say admiration, to fooso
among whom we are'dwelling. ..

Captain Du Petit-Thouara,” seeing that toe
Japanese government was ready to fulfil the con

very properly put a stop to tola dreadful, but no

Subsequently not only did toe Japanese minister
go onjioard toe Venus to apologize, but he in-:
eisted and prevailed bn the French minister to
return with him, and be presented/in person, to-,
toe; Japanese sovereign, Mikado, “a fact,’
says the Monitcurj “unprecedented
in the history of the country,.
and, which • has produced an immense

and toe great Pacific Railroad, which is shortly
to unite Europe to Asia, will leave Am,erica

MRS. KEMBLE AT THE ACADEMY.
KLIDSVMUEB-NIGHT’S DBBA.M
A BEAUTLFUIi SPECTACLE.
‘ Children of the Commonwealth.’*
Poetry, Music and Flowers
The Academy of Music was, yesterday after
noon, the bcene of one of the most brilliant and
interesting entertainments ever given in Phila
delphia.
For a month, past it has been whispered in
private circles that Airs. Kemble designed to
give one of her Shakespearian Readings "for toe
benefit of toe Lincoln Institution of thin city. In
conscQuence ol the course of leadings in which
Mrs. Kemble was engaged, toe tickets were sold
privately, with toe exception of a few hundreds,
which were disposed of publicly doling toe last
in o days. The result was the assemblage of one
of toe most elegant audiences that Philadelphia
can produce.
The stage was beautifully decorated for; the oc
casion. A thicket of tall and rare plants was
massed at each wing,' while surrounding Mrs.
. Kemble's tablo stood two huge baskets of flowers
and two elegant vases crowned with floral pyra
mids.. One of the proscenium boxes was hand
somely draped with the American colors, inter
mingled, in appropriate compliment to Mrs.
Kimble, with toe splendid “Union Jack” of the
Albion Society. This box was oecupied by ex-
Governor Curtin and daughter, Colonel McFar
land, Superintendent of Soldiers' Orphans, and,a
portion of his family, and General T. W. Sher
man, commanding this Department.
The orchestra was filled by forty of Mr. Carl
Sentz’s picked performers, who played their part
of the altemoon's entertainment to perfection.
With her accustomed punctuality, Airs. Kemble
made her appearance on toe stage at lour o’clock,
and was greeted with theheartiest applause. As
:she took her seat,Mr. Sentz, who hod generously
volunteered for this occasion, commenced Men
delssohn's exquisite Overture to the “Midßummer-
Night's Dream,!’ and that beautiful composition
was probably never so well: played in Philadel
phia before. The musicians evidently felt the
inspiration of toe occasion, and. toe delicacy of
expression and accuracy of time were thoroughly
appreciated and enjoyed.
At toe conclnslon of. the overture toe dead si
lence of too vast audience was broken by toe
quiet tones of Mrs. Kemble’s voice, which
leached every distant part of toe. auditorium, an
nouncing the dramatis persona of the “Midsum
mer Night's Dream." The reading was a mostdo
ugh tful treat. Mrs. Kemble’s wonderful modula
tion of voice and thorough conception of the
character of toe play enabled her to represent to
the very life the personnel of the different charac
u rs. The lovers, “Lysander” and “Demetrius,”
the gentle “Hcrmia” and loving “Helena,”
‘‘Oberon, King, of: the Fairies?’ “Titania,
Queen, of the Fairies,” “Puck” or “Robin
Goodfellow,” toe fleet-winged , attendant of
“Oberon,” “Bottom, the Weaver,” “Snug, the
Joiner," “Flute, toe Bellows-mender,” “Snout,
toe tinker," and “Starveling,-toe . Tailor," the
stage-struck artizans of Athens, each received
at tub hands of toe reader a separate and distinct
individuality, and toe audience were now held
. spell-bound by her matchless declamation, and
evergnd.anon would break forth 4n-.tumultuous
applause and laughter at the ludicrous portions
of too play. ; ; -
During foe intermission,the orchestra gave the
Nottumo, from Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer'
Night’s Dream,” with fine effect, although toe
effect was somewhat marred by toe buzz of con
versation, which naturally followed toe breathless
stillness oftoe audience during toe reading.
But-the most striking effect of this beautiful
entertainment was yet to come. As Mrs. Kemble
closed her reading, toe storm of applause was
drowned by the loud rattle of drums, and toe
boys of the Lincoln Institution, about ninety in
number, marched on the stage, headed by
their drum .corps, and formed; in —two
ranks, stretching entirely across.foe broad stage,
nchind Mrs. Kemble, whose Countenance be
trayed a mingled surprise and pleasure at this
sudden military invasion, while the audience
broke Into prolonged applause. The'boys wore
their neat “navy-bltuw uniform, each carrying
bis cap and a handsome bouquet in hls-left liana.
They were commanded by their Gaptain, J. K.
Dexter, and Lieutenants Edward Wilson and
WilHanf Wilson, and presented a capital front as
they obeyed the sharp “Centre dress !” of their
captain. After a very neat military salute to
toe audience, which was warmly returned,
toe wings Were drawn forward by an orderly ad
vance,, until they rested on hthe foot-lights, en
veloping Mrs.Kemble in a semi-circle. A gigantic
basket of flowers was thencarrled on - toe-stage
by Weir and Agar, and presented by
Captain Dexter, who saia: .“Aft?Ja«i: The boys of
the Lincoln Institution desire to express to you
their gratitude t for j the beautiful entertainment
givonials afternoon by yon In their behalf. We
represent one Massachusetts and forty Penhsvl
vania regimen ts. and our fathers died in too cause
of Union and Freedom, with which we know that
yon s 6 deeply sympathize;’ Permit me, iu behalf
of the boys, to present you with this basket ’of
flowers as a slight token of our esteem and grati-
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
iudo towards one who has shown such, generosity
towards us.”. This brief address wasracuvered m
clear, soldierly, tones,and wasygraeefally. ac
knowledged by Mrs. Kemble/'who remained
standing throughout toe (OTemony. At the
conclusion of ■ the address the privates ad
vanced from right and loft/in rapid order, .and
presented their bouquets to Mrs, Kemble, Who
was soon half-buried iu toe mass of flowers
which she heaped upon her table.until it would
' hold no more, and the remainder wete gracefully
laid at her feet. .The ljne was Immediately re
formed,’and three hearty cheers were given by
thehoyafor Mrs. Kemble, Governor Curtin,'Col. '-
McFarland; General Sherman and “‘toe friends of
toe! Lincoln Institution.” They then broke into
platoons, forming an open avenue from too cen
tre to toe,left wing of toe stage, where they stood
motionless, while toe orchestra performed the
Inspiring “Wedding March,” in splendid style.
As toe music ended and Mrs. Kemble left toe
stage, amid a storm Of applause, the little sol
diers stood at the f‘salute,and sho greeted them"
with gracious smfles and salutations, as she
passed through their npon. ranks,, i ....
The whole affair was a beautiful success, and
Mrs. Kemble cannot bnt have felt abundantly
rewarded for ' her generous exertions In
behalf of snch a worthy cause. The Lincoln In
stitution reaped a substantial benefit from the oc
casion, and the audience dispersed with mingled
smile's apd : tears, delighted with the appearance
and. behaviour of these young wards of the State,
«s well as with the noble liberality of the gifted
lody to whom they were indebted for this beauti
ful entertainment."

Destuctive Fire,— An explosion of a tank of
alcohol took placet 11 o'clock this morning at
Sheridan’s distillery, Front street above SWppen.
The; distillery, which was a 'three-story brick
building, was soon in fiames,and was completely

These buildings have toe rcofs and upper stories

windows in toe wildest confusion, thus destroy

Fatal Jump of a Thief.— Coroner Daniels

11 crmoney—Juatcr Particulars*
Thp following, from the Missouri • Democrat,
Juno lit, is In addition to the telegraph account
already published: •• .
The many admirers of Miss Lotta Crabtree, the
chaimlng young actress, will be pained to learn
that 6he has been left in almost destitute circum
stances by the conduct of her father. He was
considered a worthless man, liable at any time
to get drunk and do any foolish act, and for this
reason Mrs. Crabtree took charge of' her
daughter’s financial affairs. It was fieri custom
to purchase government bonds with the money
earned by Lotta, and these bonds she kept in a
canvas bag in her trunk. On arriving in this city
sbo had in| this bag $25,000 in bonds and about V
$lO,OOO in greenbacks. Thesefhnds sho in tended
to deposit in bank in New Nbrk. Mrs. Crabtree -
intended shortly to sail'for Europe, and to settle '
down in her native England anti live at her easo '
upon the wealth accumulated by her talented
daughter.
Crabtree, the. father; usually drow tke money
due his daughter, and placed it in the . hands of
his wife. He acted as Lotta’s agent, and was fre
quently known to get on a spree. On Thursday
night he was in liquor, ana had Borne trouble
with his wife, who scratched his face. Lotta in- ■
lefposed, and ho struck her with his hand. Ho .
left the Laclede, whero his wife and daughter
were stopping, and took a room for the night at
the Fosehall House, instructing the night clerk
to have him waited for the train which waa to leave!
for the East at half-past six in the morning. He •
appeared to bo very drunk, and meeting with
the stage manager, told him he.,.bad borne the .
ill-treatment of; his. wife for tenyears and could
stand it no longer. Ho said he was sorry he had "
struck the child, and declared it was the first time
in his lifo that he had been harsh to her. He
opened his valise and showed the notes and bonds
whlchhe had taken from his Wife’s trunk, saying
he had been; watching for several days for a
chance possession of them.- He-ealdho
would return to Europe, and take the world easy
for the rest of his life. The stage manager re
monstrated with hlmon his conduct, and tried
to persuade hinr to change his; purpose, but he" ’
remained firm, and left on Friday 'morn
ing With all his daughter’s money, and eyen her
jewelry. Ho had drawn her salary for the week
from Debar, as we learn, and Lotta was left with
only a few dollars in her possession, and an un
paid board bilk Lotta can soon earn money ■
enough to supply her wants, but to bo defrauded
out of a whole year’s earnings by her own father, 1
is a severe blow upon her.
No steps havo peen taken to have Crabtree ,
arrested? indeed, we do not know that he has .
committed any crime of which the law takes
cognizance, but It Is hoped that something wilt
occur to change his purpose and induce, him to ;
return the money to his danghter. -■■■■:,•

[Erom tho St. Louia Dispatch, May 20,1
Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, who was ycater
terduy elected Bishop of the Episcopal Church ;
for. the Diocese of Missouri, is comparatively a _
young man, being only thirty-one years of age,
bnt is spoken of as a learned,popular and eloquent ’
Divine, possessing uncommon energy and abil
ity. Ho was elected a Missionary Bishop for '
.Montana Territory in 18GG, at .a special
meeting of the House ot Bishops,
But on account of Ms age, was not eligible
for consecration until last year. The fact of his
being elected a blahop before.theprescribed age.-
is good evldenco of the high estimation in which
he is held by the pillars of the church. Ha has
been residing at Salt Lake City for the past year,
where he is said to have discharged his duties in
a most"satisfactory wanner. It Is generally ex
pected that he will accept Mb new position, and,
the Diocese of Miesburi have ■ reason to feel re
joiced in the selection-of so brilliant and able »
Bishop to preside Over them.
