a state of excitement about the note of the Prus

ot disturber= or serious difficalties breaking
out in Europe, the fifteen thmisand men which
the Pope has at his disposal would be of little
avail for the preservation of the temporal power;
desertion and general demoralization would soon
take the upperhand in an army composed
of the moat antagonistic elements and of men
of all nations, who have no sympa
thy with and no ties to the Papal
government. What has supported the throne of
Pins IX. for the last five years was the French
corps of occupation, which. when once with
drawn, will cause the temporal power to fall at
once to pieces. As for the partisans of our gov
ernment, they fed bigger than ever since the
new loan has met with such unexpected success.
They interpret this happy occurrence in their fa
vor, and are endeavoring to prove to the world
at large how very pointer Imperialism is among
the French, and that every French citizen would
willingly give up his last cent, if It became ne
cessary thereby, to save the Napoleonic dynasty
from its enemies. This eity, however,
being strongly republican in its prin

Church. Ott
ignoux, L
of
The London Review, refusing to see any proof
that the French people wish to find themselves
again under a regime of brilliant literary men
each as 31 Gulzot and M. Thiers, doubts if the
fabric of the Empire Will suffer much from the
assaults of M. Rochefort and others of the same
class. The demonstrations of the students are of
even less importance. It is a point of honor
with all young men to be opposed to the Govern
ment of the dad, and students on the Continent
pass through their Republican fever as children
do through the measles. The return of M.
Grevy for the Jura is of greater gravity. If. how
ever, it Droves that in that part of the country
the policy of the Government is not sanctioned,
it also proves that the Imperial institutions do
not prevent a free expression (gibe popular will,
in whatever direction that will may point. The
prodigious success of the last loan is proof con
clusive that the mass of Frenchmen have faith in
the stability of things. Politicians who assert
the contrary , forget two facts, viz.: that Paris is
no longer - I ranee, and that Journalists are no
longer the State. The masses rale. It is they
who made the Empire, and (unless their inter
ests are forgotten) It Is they who will maintain it.

the !Political Situation.
A Severe slow.
The London Speer :tor says:
The Empire has sastained a severe blow. For
the first time since the coup d'itat an agricultu
ral department has elected an avowedly Republi
can member. M. Hnot, a most respectable can
Mate, has been recommended to the peasants of
the de • artment of the Jura by all officials, and

Aadsecured the, hearty suppoll7ffif the pnegthige:
Ills rival, M. Grevy, had been denounced by the
Prefect as a foe of the dynasly,and as the author
of an amendment to the Constitution of 1848
substituting a Premier for a President , as head
of the Executive was particularly obnoxious to
Napoleon 111. Nevertheless the electors re
turned him by 22,428 to 11,135. The news has
excited some emotion in the Tuileries, and it has
been resolved to hold the elections for three va
cant, departments immediately, and so ascertain
if the spirit of resistance has become general, or
is confined to the mountain farmers. No local
cause for the result is assigned even by the Gov
ernment prints, and one of them acknowledges
that the system of electoral tuition has received
a severe check.
SPAIN.
The lievointionhit,..Exiles—Preteit, et
Moil who de Blontpensier.
The following is the protest of the Duke and
Duchess de Montpemsler against their exile from
Spaini alluded to in our cable telegram as pub
lishedln the Courrier de la Gironde. The docu
ment is addressed the Queen of Spain :
LishoN August 3, i.B6B.—MAomx—By the di
rect instrumentality of the Captain General of
the Andalusia, we have received your royal order
f thelth of July, which enjoinsimiti-leave, with
the least possible delay, the Spanish peninsula,
and to fix our residence outside the kingdom.
Telegraphic despatches subsequently designated
to! us the frigate Villa de Madrid ,in which to
make our compulsory voyage; leaving ns the
choice of the foreign country in which we might
be pleased to pass our exile.
We shall not attempt to seek out the first
causes of the difficulties which met us on our
landing in Portugal, when we were threatened to
be depriVed of the liberty at first accorded of
selecting the place of our exile; but in the embar
rassing position prepared for us as regards Lis
bon, as well as in the .disrespectful reception
given in the port of Cadiz to the royal colors fly
ing upon the frigate which conveyed us, the signs
of a useless persecution cannot possibly be
ignored. Until now we have considered it oar,
duty to remain - silent respecting the measures
taken by your Majesty's governniefir But at pre
sent, on the point of quitting the - Villa - de - Madrid
—worthy representative of our beloved Spain—
with our foot on a foreign Soil, we are bound to
depart . from the reserve imposed on us, since
silence might be interpreted as arising from an
Invincible apathy or as indicating humble sub
mission to a merited chastisement
.We shall be exceedingly brief, Madame, in
PHILADELPHIA, NEDNESDAY, - SEPTEMBER, 2,, 1868:
raising our voices toyour Majesty. As the royal
order of the 7th mentions no explicit complaint
which need be noticed, we refrain from offering
explanations, which we should have given Pally
had we been openly accused: "the country is
agitated, the revolutionists are making use of
your name as a rallying cry and take it as the
object of their machinations," such are precisely
the considerations on which rests your extra
legal measure, awaking our 'high position, of
which you have intentionally made mention in
order the more to bumiliateits. Such allegations
donot deserve to be dbictufsed. But if we believed it
opportune to defend ourselves against impute-
Ilona concealed under transparent allnalons,when
we are reminded of the duty of loyalty, with re
spect to which we bad no occasion to have our
memory refreshed, we should say to ruff' Ma-;
jest,: If unhappy Spain is now passing - through,
a difficult crisis (which .deplore with all our
Soul), we are not ' the, generating cause, of It.
Elsewhere must be sought the origin of the
lamentable agitations which serve as a pretext for
our condemnation. Whenever a people becomes
oneasy:and agitated, the mason la that a grave
uneasiness, afflicts it: b(NNIII/30 there no individuals
and no names exist powerful enough to serve as
a flag and draw a nation in their train.
Weprotest energetically against this manifest
violation of the fundamental law of the State and.
of the eternal principles oljustice perpetrated in
the steps taken by your Majesty's government,
and for that purpose we do not invoke either the
conslderatieres of our rank or family ties. If the
former give a special emphasis to our protest
tbey odd nothing , to the injustice committal, and
the latter must be forgotten in presence of the
arbitrary act which exiles ns without any Indi
rect in timation..We do not .consider it consist.
ent with our dignity to fruition:them.
Solely in the name of our rights, in our charac
ter of Spaniards placed under the proteCtion of
the general laws of the country, do we now
protest before your Majesty against the violence
which drives es from our beloved Spain.
We wait for the reparation to be as public
and as solemn as the Insult which we have
received. May 'Heaven preserve , your life for
many years.

The Recent Attempt to Slow Up the
Miamian hiarracks.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
The tribune of the Roman Consults has fast
printed the process against the persons accused of
having blown up the &relator' barracks and mined
the barrack Cimarra, as well as designed to set
Bre to the magazine of Fort lit. Angelo, containing
50,000 pounds of gunpowder. The process, of
will& very few copies have been struck Off, haa
been distributed only to the cardinals and one or
two of the ambassadors. The Italian journals
affirm that eight of the accused have been con
demned to death, and the remainder to hard
labor (or life, but this is anticipating the event,
as the sentence is not yet pronounced,

The Alergele (Wales) corresptiondent of the
London Times gives the foilowirur account of the
frightful - railroad accident which occurred at that
Oertainlyanything Jae so awful a. rattrosul ac
cidentelias never occurred in this country.- Ar
bon, who witnessed the coltish - 4 T from the bank
state.thrit fora emisidemble tune the line for
come distance was as if covered with a sheet of
flame. Until an immense quantity of water had
been. thrown On it the the was not extinguished,
and whet-put out at one spot it broke out in
another. All this time the bodies of the pas
sengers in the three first-class carriages next the
,ngine and tender were burning literally, to ashes.
In some cases an inch or two of a dreea are a
that was found in a heap of charred remains to
show that they are those of a lady. In several
cases even cinders of the bones have not been
left. What, were human for had been gath
ered up Like so much black dust. The body of
the stoker, who lay under the engine, was al
most the only one that presented the appear
ance of a dead man. The flesh was burned off,
but a ancined skeleton, with every rib visible,
was left. The name, "Prince of Wales," is still
to be seen on the locomotive,which is now stand
ing on its wheels close to the Abergele station;
out the tender made a tremendous somerset and
went right over the engine and its funnel; it is
smashed to pieces. Of the carriages in which
the passengers were seated nothing exists to show
that they were carriages but the wheels and axles;
what were the bodies lie in thousands of pieces
like small firewood that had been reduced to char
coal.
It is believed that twenty-seven persons have
been killed.
The smoke, pitchy black, as from. a funnel,
which the petroleum emitted Intercepted the,view
of the carriages In front, and it was only after
the sides had been burned so that the interior be
came visible, and the numerous outlines of cal
cined human forms were seen in various atti
tudes, that the awful truth was 'realized. The
~eat and stench were overpowering. The liquid
are burned up the grass -and hedge of the
t.mbankment, the telegraph poles and sleepers.
The flames increased ,in intensity for several
minutes and literally swept the carriages, driving
in one window and out at the other, and pro
ducing a heat so intense that it was impossible to
approach within a considerable distance of the
_train.— T e passengers in the LQtLdon curris~ee~
who bad escaped with a very slight shock, owing
to the enormous weight and velocity of the en
eine having prevented any serious rebound,
alighted from their carriages immediately after
the collision and vied with each other in endea
voring to render what aid they could.
The country people in the vicinity and
a large *number of workmen from
a slate quarry. near the spot, who had been
alarmed by the concussion were also soon gath
ered on the spot and a number of pails having
been got together a line of men was formed
across the intervening sande and buckets of sea
water were obtained in the hope of subduing the
flames. All these efforts proved fruitless, how
ever, and the fire continued to burn with increas
ing fury until every vestige of the woodwork of
the Chester carriages and one of the Post-office
tenders was entirely consumed, nothing remain
ing but the iron framework and wheels, the
greater portion of which was red hot.
It was ii - considerable timeliefore the burnt car
riages-could be approached, owing to the intense
heat thrown out hy the fused mass of iron and
burning embers,and when search was commen
ced foriim stifferers little more than charred re
mains of human liodiee could, be diticoi , ered. In
most of the cases:-the bodies were headless, and
in many it was imposaible to disc Over whether
.the'sufferem were males` or ferciales.
Every particle of clothing was , destroyed on
all the , sufferers; and for:a long time only one
body was recognized—that of the veaerable Lord
Farnham, whose identity was established
through an inscription inside a gold watch, re
covered from his remains. It has since been as
certained that Lord Farnham was traveling with
his wife, Lady Farnham,: and valued old re
tainer of the family, Miss Stattord,, who was in
the same first class carriage with them. In their
suite were also traveling Mary Ann Kellett,lady's
maid, - Outen, his lordship's valet, - and Charles
Buckingham, footman in, the same service, all of
whom are lost. Lady Farnham , , before going to
Buxton last month, called at Hunt & Roskeil's
and took from their dare in ...a , small bag more
than $6,000 worth of her own jewelry, with
which she is supposed to have been traveling on
Thursday.
The engine and tender of the mail express had

The London Spectator says;
"The Princes of most of the Royal families of
Europe, 'including all the five Powers, have
slued> an agreement binding them mutually, to
assist the museums of Europe In procuriug 'casts
and copies of national objects, for the promotion
of art.'" The agreement is drawn up in the form
of a treaty, but the articles are suggestions that
each coun try should establish a Commission to
secure copia, that all Con misalcars should inter
change, and that the Princes should help. The
idea is attributed to the.Prinee of Wales, and is a
very sound one; only we would venture to sag
gent. that u all. these highly placed gentlemen are
E.nbjeata pot invested with diplomatic functions
and not antherized to bind anybody, they should

anyother man in Chicago. Full 5,000 Tannem
wer9 hi procession, and marched to the residence
of General Grant s brother, Nq. 923 Wabash
avenue.' When the Tanners melted that point,
they found an immense crowd of people, frilly
one-half of 'whom were ' ladles, all intent =lon
honoring the great chieftain. - It is safe to say
tbat'the,entire number reached fifteen thousand.
The &Sante in the vicinity was Valiantly Illu
minated with calcium lights.
Attermusic by the Light Guard Band, General
Grant made his appearance on the balcony and
addressed the crowd in a few words. He said :'
"Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you for this
spontaneous cOmplhnent. As you well know, I
do not make speeches, and I hardly can find lan
guage in the presence of this immense siasemblage
even to express my thanks. Yon must simply,
upon this occasion, allow me to return from the
bottom of my heart my sincere thanks for this
kind calL"
The applause that followed this. little talk
swelled up like the mightiest waves of the ocean.
Hon. J. V. 8. Cannon followed with a capital
speech of ten or fifteen minutes.
Nine cheers were then given for Gen. Grant.
He was again called out for another speech. He
said: "I thanked yon once foryour kindness; all
I can now do is to thank you for this unexpected
greeting, for this magnificent turn out. I,feel
that I should like to meet each of ytna and shake
hands with all of you but that's impossible.So
I
I can but repeat that sincerely thank you."
Hon. N. B. Judd then made , a brief and elo
quent speech.
One of the younger branches of the Grant family.
the son of his father, was discovered by them on
the piazza, and was cheered heartily for full sixty
seconds.
After a speech from John C:l:tove, Esq., the
crowd "dispersed. •
Of the magnificent Republican triumph the
New York Tribune says:
We have.glorlous.mews:- from . Vermont: . The
Republicans babe eartied'theState'by a` majority
of 27,000—t0 put It at the very lowest figurc—be

gains.. The Tote semis to be the largest
polled, and the conteatwas animated. The Demo
cratemede:a 'desperate struggle.:.7. They were met
in the proper. spirili and the remit is a decisive
victory. •
The lessons of the triumph is this : WORK wria.
BRING Vic-roux. In Vermont, as in all loyal
States, the Republican party and the Republican
policy are indorsed by every calm and thought
ful
citizen. The issue was never plainer. Upon
one side we have the - enemies of the country, on
the other its friends, It is the issue of Sumter
over again. Then Beauregard menaced the-:na
tional existence, just as - Blair now threatens the
national
. peace. All that Lincoln wanted was
peace,—all that Grant. wants is peace. Now, as
then, the country responds, "Amen."
• If our friends rmyttritere would have been
justified in self-confidence anCaPathy, it was
certainly in Vermont. Success was assured.
All the offices were in the hands of our friends.
No mattes how tame the canvass, the fruits of
victory were secure. But Vermont felt that
she had a mOraltriumph to win: She was the
first of the New England States to pronounce
upon the nomination of Grant and Colfax.
to answer the menacea of Blair..—to give an opin
ion of the contemplated pro-Slavery revolution.
The influences that increased our vote in Ver
mont would. prevail in other States, and so the
Republicans labored for victory at home, and for
the comfort and encouragement of friends in dis
tant and doubtful States. They worked hard—
even with the disadvantage of necessary farm
work and very warm weather. Every vote was
brought out. The party went into action with
lull ranks, and the victory surpasses our highest
hopes.
Maine comes next. We dare not hope for a vic
tory 83 decided, but our, friends are in ,earnest,
and every town rings with the busy note of pre
paration: Nine more weeks of work remains be
tore ! the 2 Presidential-election—Leti t be genuine,-
thorough, continued Vermont work, and we
shall have a Vermont triumph. Friends, give
every hour to this duty. Organize every town
ship. Get out every ! vote. Work—day and
night—to poll-our full strength and to .prevent
frauds among the Democrats: 4 We have the-vic
tory in our hands—bat. we can only gain it by
working everywhere as heartily as our friends
have worked in the -- noble Green Mountain State.
Mr. Alexander H. Stephens has had a conversa

value, but we give' a few paragraphs; to illuetrate
the fitter perversion of truth - wnich chdracteriges
his speech, in common with that of the Southern
leaders.
"How do you regard the present condition of

"As exceedingly depltitable• The last vestiges

"That he is entirely :underrated by the country
and the press. • I know . him very well. -He 'ia• a
remarkable 'man , tnd one that few appreciate, of

Mr. A. H. Stephens's Opinions.
'How. would the Southern people act with re
gard to universal suffrage in the, event of the
el:feces/a of Seymour and Blair ?"
"'They would abide by judicial decisions, and
there is bale doubt that all this party legislation
to secure power would be overthrown. Conven
tions would be called and the people would regu
late suffrage as best they thought proper. I be
lieve a system of,quall fi ed suffrage on an educa
tional basis would be universally adopted, in the
South in such an event."
"Do you anticipate any trouble during tite Presi
dential e.lection between the races in the newly
reconstructed States?"
"No; except when it is provoked by the =-
principled whites who have associatedthemselves
with the negroes to get office. The whites 'will
remain, r ue they have been, peaceable and quiet,
relying mainly on the North for deliverance flora
the frightful condition in which they arc placed. .
The cry of the Radicals 'Let us have peace,'
means let us have' war. They desire it, and to
make political capital inaugurate riot and blood
shed, If not thwarted by the forbearance of the
whites." •
"Would the negroes resort to arms in casethey
• ere deprived of suffrage?"
"If they would and did and fou g ht for it they
should then certainly be , entitled to it, but , as a
body of a people'they would not do it. Atiocca
alone' instance' thererMight be among them of
men who wonideunder the inspiration and gni,
dance of whites, clamor for the right of suffrage
but some as to be scarcely noticeable. Asa race,
a people t they do not appreciate Liberty. It Is
not in their natarcs. They are simply children
of the sun, with none of the genuine Aspirations.
of the whites to , be free. Staff an evidence of
what I say were wanted I can point to Tennessee,
where eighty..thousand whites Anglo-
Saxons—have been disfranchised, and they do
not resort to arms. In Georgia there are twenty
five thousand and throughout the. South in the
same proportion, but we hear of no instirrectinn
or rebellion on that account. Tnerefore it is clear
the negro will scarcely fight under the same cir
cumstances, notwithstanding that it may be said,
`And the colored troops fought bravely.' "
"How do you regard the finances of the coun
try and the Southern people in favor of paying
the national debt ?"
" I am precisely of the same opinion as Mr.
Pendleton on the subject of the finances. His
views accord with mine fully."

BIIIIIED Al ICE.
Strange Exhibition in Newar►t—A Bur.
ied German Resurrects Rims°l6
A German gentleman, advanced in years,
named Franz Vester, at present a resident of
Newark, recently obtained a patent for a safety
coffin, designed so as to provide a way of escape
to those who might be buried' during suspended
animation, as is supposed may on occasions
happen, particularly during the prevalence of
epidemics. This invention consists of a coffin
constructed similar to those now in use,
except that it is a little higher, to
allow of the tree movement of the body ; the
top lid Is moveable from headta - breasc — arid ril—
l:Use of interment is left open, with a spring at. :
cached for closing the same; under the head is a
receptacle for refreshments and restoratives. The
most important part of „the Invention is a box
about two feet square, resembling very mach a
chimney, with a cover and ornamental grave
work on the top. This box is of sufficient
length to extend from the head of the
coffin to about one foot above ground.
The cover is fastened down by a catch
on the inside, and cannot be unfastened from
the outside. Just below the cover Is a bell
sisal
lar to' those used on street railway cars, with a
cord appended, which, upon being pulled,sounds
an alarm, and at the same time a spring throws
a cover from the '-`chimney-box." Then, if the
person on the inside have sufficient strength. het
or she may take hold of a rope suspended from
near the fdp of the chimney-box, and, with the
assistance of elects nailed to the sides, ascend to
the outer world; or otherwise the individual:can
rest at ease, munch his lunch, drink the wine,
and ring the bell for the sexton to come and as
sist him out.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Vester gave an exhi
bition of the working of this invention, by being
burled, and after more than an an hour's inter
ment resurrecting himself.
The exhibition took place at Baire's Brewery
Garden, on Springfield avenue, Newark; and al
though fifty cents admission was charged, some
600 people were assembled to witness the novel
exhibition.
About 3 P. M. the grave-diggers, having exca
vated a hole six feet deep, a black coffin with
silver trimmings was placed upon two supports
over . % A circle was made with a rope, around
which assembled an excited crowd of men, wo
men and children, while every tree-top and ele
vated poisitidn was occupied by spectators.
When everything was prepared, Mr. Franz Ves
ter came forward and took his position in the
coffin, the lid of which was placed, over him, at
which time he was greeted with many an anxious
and jocular "good-by."
The coffin was lowered to the bottom of the
grave. Meanwhile the band played a dirge and
the crowd made comments - and drank lager,.
which was handed around by the several waiters.
The "Chimney box". was then set down over, the
coffin; over - which - some wreaths of - flowers — had.
been strewn. The grave-diggers set to work
with a will, and in fifteen minutes Mr. Vaster was
effectually biiried, with at least four feet of earth
between him and daylight. The burial was to
have taktn place, at 2 P. M., but did not come
off until an hour later. After the lapse of an
hour and a ,quarter, a gentleman stated that Mr.
nningroN. Publisher,

Vester was to remain down below for two hours;
but that some of the spectators were anxious to
return home-, rind consequently, if agreeable, Mr.
Vester would appear at once, or; remain the spe
cified time: All present teing satisfied_ a signal
was given, and a minute after Mr. Vestter, un
aided, stepped out of his living grave; with no
more perceptible exhanatios than wonict have
been Caused by Walking two or three blocks,
under the hot sun. His- exit was received With;
