The Journal of the Franklin Institute, under the direction of a wide-awake and most intelligent editor, keeps in tbd front rank of contcmporaiy discovery ana improvement. Since its editorial chair hoB been assumed by Prof-. Morton, this venerable American journal of science has .taken a lease of youth again, and evidences, a perfect sympathy with the active and inventive mind of the yonng American people whose progress it attends. The number for the naming month of June takes up the great subjects -of home' and foreign engineering, mechanics, physics' and chemistry, while the little perfec tions in the method of various arts are carefully paragraphed by the editor as ihey are brought out. Several papers of extreme interest are concluded in this number—Mr. Rock well's account ol the Sacz Canal, Prof. Mayer's lecture-notes on physics. Prof. Bunsen's exami nation of Flame Reactions, and Mr. Lyman’s Markings for Surveyors’ measurements. An in teresting description by (he editor of his class demonstrations by means of the magic lantern,; (nn apparatus formerly regarded its a toy,) occurs in the Edncational department, by the side of, some of Prof Leeds’s exceUentnotes on lecture experiments in Chemistry.

Published at No. 13 Washington street, Boston. f-pcccH by Ciencral Wade Haainton at Wa»hlngten College, The following from the Richmond Enquirer is fuller than the account published yesterday .of Wade Hampton’s speech at the commencement of General Lee’s college: 1 “Tho certificates of distinction and the diplo mas haying been awarded, and the orations on ihe part of the yonng men having, been con cluded. General Lee arose and said: “ ‘I introduce to you, ladies and gentlemen, General Wade Hampton, of Sooth Carolina, who bus consented to address the literary societies.’ “The General still looks yonng os when he rode In the van of the battle. The, theme of the address was 'Dnty as the best motive to animate us in all things.’ He said: “ ‘.When yon assume the duties' of citizenship, let this order of the great republic bo the nrnylm to govern yon In all yonr relations to yonr State- Determine firmly that whatever may be your future position, whether in a public or private station, by no word or thonght or deed to work detriment to yonr State. Be true to her, come weal, come woe: true to her material interests, her spotless fame, her nnsallied honor, her grand traditions. Yon owe this duty to (hose immortal men who mode Virginia what she was; you owe it to them who are to come after yon; yon owe it to yourselves; yon owe it to yonr State. “ ‘She cannot now address her sons in the proud language of haughty Rome, asking them to see to it that the “Republic snffers no detri ment,” for her voice, that of old so potent, is stifled; bnt In mute agony she points to the heroic sons sue has beme, to teach her yonnger-borne how to live for her, and. If need be, how to die tor her! As ehe calls np her mighty dead to stand before yon, methinbsl see coming at her sum mons an lilnstrlons host of heroes, sages and patriots. I see assembled the'sons ofthe Old Dominion—men of heroic mould, and from their midst I hear the voice of the “forest-born De moßthenes,” as he exclaims in tones that roused America, and still find an echo in the heart ol every lover j of freedom, “Give nc> liberty or give me death!” I see Jef ferson, as with impressive solemnity he pre sents to the patriots of .’76, what was once onr Magna Charta, the immortal Declaration of Inde pendence. I see Madison framing that Constitu tion, wMch he fondly hoped, bnt, alas, in vain, was to seenre the blessings of Überfy to his conn try. I seo Mason giving to his State her noble BUI of Rights, and Marshall adding dignify to the bench by Ms justice and learning, ana wedding lustre on his State by- his virtue! Along with them I see a countless throng of her noble sons whose names the world will not wffilngfy Iqt die. and towering above all, I' see approach in awfni majesty, the man . who was “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of Ms countrymen.’ ” “He concluded as foUows, after warning the young gentlemen against pursuing the dictates of poUcy rather than of principle: 'Should such temptations; should you be disposed for the soke ot expediency to sacrifice duty, go to yonder quiet cemetery, and as yon look upon the grave of Jackson, think of that great soldier, pure patriot and humble Christian, “ ‘Wio taught us how to live,-and, Oh, too high, For such a price, who taught us how to die!” “ ’Should any farther incentive to confirm yonr wavering faith bo then needed, tarn from the grave or tho dead hero and Christian, to contem plate the living one, and learn to' live like Mm whose inspiration has been patriotism and whore pole-star is duty!"

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1868. ; A" ‘ WOJIAirS EXPERIENCES IN EHBOPE. NO. XXL Sunday in Faru-liacet on Champ do mars—Admirable (minion of Labor— Itecrention for the children— The Row Opera House Americans ia Paris. [Correspondence of (he Philadelphia Evening BaUctln.l Paris, June B, lBoB.—Judgingby the' Champs' ElytCes,the Champ deMarsjthe Bois de Bolongne, Versailles ond the crowded depots in every qnarter of Paris on Sunday lost,one wonld think in verity that tout It motide in Paris was bent on getting ont of it,and vice versa,** voltnres come in . collision,stages,cars on the' ‘Cheminde let Amerl cain,” and every description of vehicles Slew along at a Gilpin rate, crowded beyond. American en durance. EventheParlalans ' themselves were forced to exclaim and wonder at the sight: The occasion was tho races on the Champ de Mars, the playing of ail the grand. fopniidiu at. Ver sailles, and the last opportunity to see the conrt driving on the Bois, as the Tulleries were to bo deserted by the Emperor and family for Pontalnblean on the next day. Our friend Jacob Abbott was so fortunate as to have a “Holla” and “Lucy" innocently' taU into all these lawless fetes, and come home and-confess it to their "Uncle George,” who no doubt related It aR to Mr. Abbott' With a woman, “seeing is believing,” and withont wishing to be irreverent or to set a bad example, I considered it part of my duty as correspondent to see Paris on Sunday, apd in dite it for the benefit of the readers of the Bul letin. Oh Thursday and Sunday evenings, I would venture to affirm, there .are not, three sober drivers in a hnndred in Paris. On Monday and Friday mornings it is impossible to engage workmen for any purpose. This is particularly trying in a country where the division of labor is go minute. For instance, the washerwomen wash everybody’s Clothes. Even the scullion in the kitchen never washes her own caps or aprons. . She is a scullion, And Will be one till die dies. The clock-winder winds everybody's clocks. There are at least thirty Clocks .in our boarding-house, and .bat one . key ; that is mine, mid it was mode fast to the clock, or I could not have hod. .it , Now imagine (and it really happens, sometimes,) the whole twenty-nine docks stopped, imagine my -despair as I hear the twenty-ninth knock at my door and a “P-a-r-f-r-doa, Madame, mala quelle heure cst-il, s’il vous plait.” The easiest thing to do would be to throw the dock, ont of the win dow and resolve to do as Prance does while I stay in France. That is the secret, of happiness here. From the Emperor to the gor?on of a cafe, each one has his place, his work, his privileges entirely Ms own, and dreams of nothing more nor less te this world. A bonne never envies or imitates her mistress’s bonnet; because she weara mnsiin caps, and always will wear them. The French .Medical Society considers it con ducive to the health of children to play in the dirt. Consequently every child is in possession of a bucket and spade, from a. prince of four years, who has a bonne to lead him, a gonver nanto to watch the bonne, a footman to follow the gonvernonte and a carriage and pair with liveried drivers following' his motions through the park Moncean—to the son of the “concierge” with only grandmother to watch him. Each one has an equal right to dig holes in the sand or gravel walks oi the Champs Ely Bees or in the palace grounds. I have seen a hnndred children in each of those places at the same interesting employment, and no one thonght of it any more than to avoid falling over them. Think of onr City Fathers in Philadel phia , if Washington, or Franklin Square, were need so! But a corps of men with rake and rol ler pass over the same ground each morning,and the little ones dig it np again after lunch. The government pays the laborers at the end of a month; papa pays his taxes at the end of a year; the medical society pat the chnbby children on their fat cheeks, assist at the advent of new cherubs, and so goes Paris. Harmony every where. Speaking of harmony brings the new Opera House to mind. It is nearly completed, ; and the Emperor’s architects and surveyors think 'it wonld present a finer appearance if certain large houses, stores that ore an ornament to the Rne de la Paix, were not obstructing the view. Farewell to' the stores. The Emperor ordered them down. The whole magnificent block of jewelry, millinery and display windows of all sorts of wareß has disappeared, and the debris of destroyed buildings is being carted away as fast as possible. One of the most celebrated modjstes has suffered by tbis last Imperial order, for she occupied the establishment,and her grandmother before her, for fifty years. Now an enormons sum of money and the sole right to place on her sign, “Modiste to Her Majesty the Empress” will somewhat mollify her grief. So the pills of the Emperor are sugar- coated. The nnmber of Americans crowding into Paris is marvelous. The closing ot the Exposition seems to have made no material difference in ’that respect, for while those who came to the great show last year are taking their turns in the steamers to get home, others are coming over in as great numbers, I heard of three parties who had actually engaged rooms at Miss Ellis's Eng lish boarding-house, who were disappointed in getting state-rooms, and were obliged to postpone coming over till next fall. As to getting home, one must secure a berth two months in advance, and every state-room in the Cunard and French steamers has been taken until next November! ; The bankers are doing a thriving business, and new houses, amqng which Drexel & Co. nnmber one, are encouraged to lend money to American tourists. Norton & Co.'s is a favorite house,and the Bulletin is on file in their reading-rooms,as well as the Ledger, North American and" other Phiia delphia papers, which of course draw Pennsylva nia custom. Mr. Norton edits the Continental Gazette, a Paris journal, printed in English, wMch is really a great comfort to, American families in prance/ v' ;■ ‘-/.v. i To-day our party starts for London, to, be in time for the Handel celebration on the twelfth of jane. ■' We shall not be missed, for onr rooms are engaged already, and I am sitting on a trank fin ishing this letter, while the femme ,de chambre waits at . the door, with broom and duster, to sweepthe lastfraeoof me from her dominions.

By order of U. S. Grant, Major-General. . A Foreign Opinion of Grom. The London News says of Grant’s- nomination: “There are some circumstances which render the nomination of General Grant singularly oppor tune. He is net a politician, ana the. nation is tired jof politicians. .Heis a soldier, with a' eol dier’s ideas of duty, but with a civilian’s respect for legislative authority and the national will. He has probably no delinite policy of his own; bnt it is of a President with a policy that the' Re public is suffering. He is accustomed to obey, os well as to rule; and it is a President, who-will do . Its work and obey its behests. 1 whom the nation needs. The very fact- that, after by turns .exciting the suspicion, he has won the confidence of all parties, proves his fit ness for the highest post in the Common wealth; A Preßldeht'should be a practical states man,not a man of deeds rather than of words; tho executive of the national will, not the apostle of Ms own self-will, - He has nor right to a policy wMch is not the policy of the nation, and in Ms office he belongs neither to Ms party -nor to himself, bnt ;to: the nation which has ekctedhlm to its temporary headship. Iris the best recommendation "of General Grant that he will probably make a national, 'rather than a party President; and should his election once more lift the office-ever so little above the self assertion of Mr. Johnson’s administration, or tho party narrowness of so many of his predeces sors, it may restore the waning influence of the Presidency, and begin an era of peace and recon ciliation in the nation.” “A Jew” in New York writes: “I have nodonbt that the majority of the'foreign-bom Jews will go with the Democratic party,with the exception of many such intelligent German Jewish minds as that of the Rev. Dr. Einhorn, late of FhUadel pbia; and also of such a man as Professor Morals of PhiladelpMa, minister of the Portuguese con gregation in that city. I have no donbt there will be found some Jewish Republicans in tMs city who will vote jnst as they fought, In favor of true Democratic Republican principles. It is a disgrace that a few wily politicians should attempt to mix up religion with politics. lam glad to see that The Jewish Messenger of this city' condemns such movements. If the Jewish Democrats wish to defeat Gen. Grant, they should join some Demo cratic Club, just as the Jewish Republicans join Republican Clubs in order to do justice to a true soldier, and not get np a club and call it a Jewish Club, when some of its members are Irish, Ger mans, and citizens of other nationalities. It may be that the old saying, “Republics are ungrate ful,” may again he verified; and if snch Is the case, Gen. Grant will not be onr.next President. It may be that the scales may be turned by a few Jewish votes against Gen. Grant; and if such is the cose, the day will yet come when they will dearly regret It.” CDase and the Democracy. The New York correspondent of The Boston Journal thns speaks of the effect of Judge Chase’s recent letter upon the Democracy of New: York: “The letter published as coming from 'Judge Chase is a wet blanket to his Democratic friends in this region. Whether it Is spurious or genuine makes Utile difference. The Judge has admitted to some of his friends that the letter embodies his sentiments. He has gone far enongh to alienate his old friends, and not for enough to con ciUate the -new. Even men ' who were committed before this letter came ont are taking the back track. Rynders of the Em pire Club was the most noisy of the Jndge’e new mends, bnt he now states pnbUcly that he Is not a leader in the movement, bnt wiU accept tho, Judge If he Is nominated by the Democratic Con vention, of which be admits there is not the least probability. Singularly enongh, the friends of Pendleton point to Mr.. Johnson as a warning to the Democrats, and assure them that a renegade from Ms party for office cannot be trusted. It is seldom that a letter of a fqw lines has produced Buch a feeling as that from Jndge Chase. The 'universal suffrage’ line did the business.” The LonisvlUe Courier says: ‘.'We consider that Mr. Chase’s letter places Mm in snch an at titude that Ms name can no longer be considered in that Convention. In netting this conclusion, we have no disposition to'criticise the position which he has taken. An honest adherencoto views which Ho has long advocated, however erroneous we may consider those views, will necessarily command oor respect. And hols doubtless more MgMy esteemed by the Demo cratic party for this reiteration of his former opinions than by an Insincere recantation of his favorite poUcy, as a means of securing the nomi nation of the party. It becomes the Democratic party to be not less candid than Mr. Chare, and, whUe giving him full credit for Ms honesty ot purpose, to yield no jot or tittle of the principles which servo os the basis of their public poUcy." Hancock’s Frinclples. . ■ The Jackson (M 168,) Clarion, in endeavoring to prove that Gen. Hancock is a good enough man for the support of Southern rebels;/produces the following extract from a letter of ; Cfi W. Gift, of Memphis, formerly of the United 1 States Navy, and late .of the C. 8. Navy, to its townsman, Judge Porter, both of whom before the war were citizens of California: “I notice that the West ern Democrats are .exercised about Gen. Han cock’s former political history, and as I happen to know something ot him.lhave a mind to give Mm thaodvantage of it.; Daring the campaign for President In 1860, Hancock, A. Q. M. U. B.

There s never any trouble In gettingdown wnrd when a man longs for it Among oar wishes there Is always one Aaron’s rod which finally de vours nil the rest. Mr. Justice Chase wishes to be an abolitionist, but belongs to be President. This longing is his Aaron’s rod. Ho wishes to advo cate universal suffrage, and payment of the no tional debt in gold. But he longs to outbid Pendleton before the. Democratic Convention. See bow reluctantly, like the Jew under King John’s pincers, he parts with his' teeth to save bis goldjparts with nls professions (he never had any principles) to save his Chances of nomina tion. At theoutdet.what lavish waste of excel ent indignation on the part of - his friends when some.,telltale correspondents hinted the; possl bllity ol his accepting a Democratic nomination! “Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing ?" But all that virtuous horror, could pot mb out of the public thought that .“damned: spot.” So in doe time tho Cincinnati Gazette states with Chase-like, ponderous, semi official dignity that 'doubtless Mr, Chase, would accept such nomination if the Democratic party would como to '„ him and . plant itself oh,his platform. Then his tempted, rest less virtue waits a while to see ‘what the pdrty will do. That lazy good for 'nothing manifests no disposition to wash and pint on clean: gar-■ ments. Precious time is running fast to July 4. So somebody Is found, Or imagined, to . give the impatient Judge an opportunity to comedown a llttlo In his price. He lets it be known that If universal.suffrage can be secured and gold pay ment pledged he will meet the Democrats with a recognition of State sovereignty and a grant of universal amnesty. For a while this Is a stand ’lng offer. Bat the ’ keen Instinct of the Demo cratic rank and file saw a negro hid under this' pice meal. Spelling negro with two g’s Is the Alpha and Omega of American democracy. Mr. Chase might have learned that gospel of CoL Benton a dozen years ago, and found ft, besides, enlarged upon in the “EpUtles of Nasby. Slowly the troth dawned 1 on him. It was clear the party could never come.up to him. l What then? “Cousin,” said, the Duke of Bedford to the drunken Dtike of Norfolk, lying In the mnd, “Cousin, I can't lift you up; but I will'do tho next best. thing—l'll fie down' with you.” So now we have the’ last bid; Pendleton and Chase neck and neck. The platform with: which Mr:’ Chase's private secretary is authorized’to tempt rebeldom, North and Sentb, is First.—No mention of fiaance.Belmont’sand Brick Pomeroy's gnns both spiked. Second. —Universal' amnesty . demanded, pledged 'as a necessity.

Gentlemen of the Fourth of July Convention; If yon will nominate Chase there will be no need to horrify the world by mentioning repudiation in yonr platform; Your candidate himself is each ah' embodied repudiation as will satisfy Brick Pomeroy, Bhett, Pendleton, and 01l tbefr fellows. ■ ■ Men say the Chief Justice is selling his soul for this empty chance of a nomination. No,,gentle men, he haß no eon! to sell. That went to Its own placo long ago, when Margaret Garner went np from beneath the gbiglihg waters of the Ohio to bear witness against American democracy and American piety as she had seen them in the das tard and selfish face of the Ohio Governor. Since then only “tho empty sheath of a man” has haunted the Senate chamber, benches and Presi dential conventions as dead' misers haunt the treasure for which their Souls were sold.. If Mr. Chase could have pledged the Democratic party to Bepublican principles he would have rendered noble service to. the cahse of liberty. We have longed for the past five years to see an honest and earnest man (Mr. Chase Is neither of these) thus lead the rebel party upward and so } banish the negro question forever from onr politiCS. The theory that nndnrileaihe A merlean Democracy Which trlnmpgciC-Wth Jsficraair in 1801, Is the true American Iden imd tbe essence of eqmflify, liberty and fra ternity. Bnt the Democratic party is the monstrous child of negro hate and love of plun der. Death is its only core. In its ranks are some few deluded, well-meaning men. 1 And there have been hours when It seemed capable of regeneration. Bnt they were only the contor tions of a corpse mlmicing life. Its embrace has always been fatal to living men. But like joined like when the Chief Justice staked worthless counteis against empty promises. Both cheats were cheated and yet no barm done. Wendell Phillips. A missing Bank Castaicr Arrested. Id the early part of last spring the inhabitants of the flourishing little town of Lyons, Wayne county, in this State, were taken somewhat by surprise at the sudden decampment of one Beardsley Van Alstyne, cashier of the banking establishment known as'that of WestiaH’s Bank. For some years the establishment had enjoyed the confidence of the people in the vicinity as well as of thoßO who resided in the. town itself ; but a short time previous to last March, Mr. Westfall disposed 'of his interest in the establishment, and it came into the hands of parties of whom Mr. Van Alstyne was one of the principal. Every thing went on well until the seventh of lost March, when it was discovered that the bank was closed and the prepossessng looking cashier was no where to.be found. Funds ana principal mana ger hadmystoriously disappeared. Later in the same month Superintendent Kennedy was ap praised of the affair by Mr. A. B. Warren, who had been considerable of a sufferer by the trahs nction. The requisite inquiries were made, but no trace of the absconding cashier could bo found. Last Tuesday, however, Mr. Kennedy received information that a man answering to the description of Van Alßtynewas arrested that morning in the city of Baltimore by, the detectives there. After satisfying himself that the prisoner Was tho man sought, the Superintendent ordered him to be brought on here. The prisoner arrived in this city yesterday. It has been ascer tained that disastrous speculations drove him on to take the steps which ne has taken. On leaving Lyons in March ho came to this city and took steamer for Brazil, remaining in that country only three days, when he took passage' on board a vcbbcl and arrived in Baltimore last Tuesday, when he was taken prisoner bv thepolice. On his personwas ieond the sum o'f $3,767 in gold, a handsome gold watch and a diamond pin and ring. Mr. A. B. Warren hear ing of the arrest in Baltimore, came to.this city and attached tho property of the prisoner, with a view of getting back some of his lost proporty. It is said this gentleman has been a loser to the amount of $12,000, and he Intends to commence civil proceedings immediately against the ac cused.
