EUBOPEAH AFPAXRB LETTER PBOIH PUIS. [Correspondrnee ef the.Phlladelphl* Evening BolisUn.) Paris, Good Friday, March 26, 1869.— The Etnpcior baa been popularity-bunting; a bad sign for a man in bis position and in the present posi tion of tbe affaire of this country, and one which bis enemies will bo sure to turn to bis disadvan- tage by interpreting It ae a sign of weakness, if not of fear. Moreover, os baa too oftehteeen tbe catc ol late In regard to almost all tbe acts of tbe imperial policy, tbe thing has neither been “well done" nor “done quickly.” Looking about bim for something to “pleaie tho people” w lib, and mollify their ever-incroaalog 111-humor and aspirations alter freedom, the Em*, ptror remembered wbat U called the working, man's livret, or service-book; a remnant of iffb old icgimt of France; but of which be. like t/ls udclc before bim, had availed himself, and made ■be observance much more strict, when it sotted bis policy nnd safety to do so, In troublous times. Tbe livret 1b a police regulation, according to wbicb every laboring man Is compelled to keep on exact account of bia time, and bow be baa employed it, and where. It is a sort of perpetnal parsport and certificate, tbo absence of wbicb, t'pto facto, renders bim at once an object ol Aurplclon, and liable to apeoalty. It is a kind of legalized espionage upon all bla w ays and move rnenle ; lometbing to make bim feel that the eye of antborily Is never off bbn. Tbe date of bis entrance upon any employment, and the date ol bis quitting it, must be entered In bia livret and clgned by bla employer, and any unaccounted-for interval between tbe dates exposes bim,as I have utiid, lo become an object of suspicion to the police. One can hardly imagine anything more humiliating and galling than being tbna dogged ai.d watched through every phase of one’s exiat . ncc, OLd made liable to account for every mo- ment of one’s time. And wby a workingman moie Iban any one tlst? Tbe Police have Just as much right to knock at tbe door of a Prince and ask fdr bia Ucrct, as they have to impose any snch obligation on an ouvrier. Vet this regulation tbe present Em- peror, after tbo coup <TUat, made doubly Mrlngent, and extended It even to all household servants, both male and female. It has always been deeply resented by tbe people, and s» now at last tbe Emperer has taken It off. But, as 1 remarked, it bas neither been done aoon enough nor In a manner to be grateful to their feelings. Tba Emperor bas blown far too loud a trampot on tbe occasion. He assembled tbe whole Coun cil if Bute and mado quite a speech, as though be were, conferring an Inestimable boon upon ibe working classes by relieving them of ibis odious and unjust restriction upon their personal liberty. There la no end to tbe Sue pbreees bia Majesty usea upon tbe occasion nboul bla “resolution to satisfy legitimate asplra iloti* " He seems to think that this doing away with limit will stand In tbe place of all that tbe i'rencb people ore clamoring for, and. as be says, “complete tbe series of measures” be has utviftd for tbeir benefit He even goes on to add that be docs not expect that this “policy” will “ dissipate all prejudice, disarm all animosity or augment his own popularity.” As regards the two Hrst mentioned effects—certainly not: and even respecting the last, I doubt very much whether the Emperor trill derive much addition lo bis popularity from 1L French aspirations after liberty have now gOBe far, too far ahead,to bo either satisfied or even arrested by such “concessions” as the above. There are, moreover, 100 many allusions in the Emperor's speech to bis determination to “suppress” what he does not approve of, and to nae “force” in resisting, when be has done everything he thinks right and just There may be two opinions on the latter point between the Emperor and his subjects, and I am very much mistaken if they accept this last grace with all the gratitude he seems to expect from them. £ There is no news stirring; the movement both of politics and society Is arrested, and the entire city absorbed in the solemn religious duties of the day and season. The churches, indeed, are un able to contain the multitudes which flock into them to witness and take part in the ceremonies. These latter are performed now in Paris with almost sb much splendor and Mat os in Rome Itself. Yesterday the ceremony of washlDg the fett of twelve poor men was witnessed by a pro digious multitude at the Madeleine. At night ihe 2 timbres were celebrated with deep solemnity, ihe whole of the mighty temple being in awful gloom, txcept only where tho Cross of Calvary siood ont brlllianl’y illuminated. The effeet was very striking and startling. One of the most notorious rogues of this, or perhaps any other country, was let out of jail he other day, at tho ago of 89 years, to spend at liberty ench portion of life as may still remain to him. He 1b a man named Desjardins, and quite renowntd in the annals of rascality, having becD ried and sentenced no less than thirty-eight limes before the various tribunals of correctional police in this country, for acts of knavery. It is calculated that he has passed very nearly sixty out of his eighty-nine years itf diflerent prisons and houses of correction, and he confesses that Lo has escaped detection for ten times os many offences as he has been puntehed for. His last— and It is to be hoped final—exit from custody wss from the prison of Boileau, whither he had been sent, after his thirty-eighth condemnation, for having disguised himself as an Inspector- General of Prisons, and endeavored to commit a theft in the house of a Prefect, who had actually received him In that character. The judge who passed sentence on him was about, in accordance with the terms of French law, to repeat nil his former condemnations, when Desjardins coolly stopped him, and begged that the usual legal formality might b e omitted, “as otherwise they might be kept there all night.” But the reason why I chiefly men tion DesJardins Is for a trick he played near Paris in the earlier daye of his career, which la really a master stroke, and still often narrated by old mili tary men. It was at Valenciennes. Desjardins bad previously been the servant of Marshal Brunei and finding himself going to the bad, he dressed himself in his master’s “ uniform, with all hia orders, &e.y And started for Valenciennes, where he knew the Marshal hod never been and was unknown. He ordered out the few troops stationed there, reviewed them, drew a sum of several thousand francs out of, the military chest, and actually made off without ever having been detected! He need to toll the story himself with great prido, which was . more 5 than waß the esse with the commanding officer who was “defeated" by him on that “battle field." The deaths of two other well-known ndividu j PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1869. ale are announced this week. One of tbemis the celebrated Gen. Jomlnl, the greatest military writer and authority of bis age as a tactician. He was nearly ninety years old. The ether is General Almonte, tbe man, perhaps, who may be said' to bave bad Ibe largest share In promoting tbe Mex ican expedition and all tbe disasters, political end personal, which attended it Austria and Italy* A correspondent at Florence, writing on tbe 18ib of Match, says: “Tbe arrival of Signor Nigra btre from Paris hes given rise to a great number of reports about a Franco-Itallan alli ance against Prussia, tbe appointment of a new i mbssssdor to France, Ac. I bavo reason to be lieve that tbe mission of Signor Nigra bas notb-: irg whatever lo do wltb cither of these subjects, ai d that, so far from there being any prospect of a Fianeo-ltalian alliaice. tbcrtrla at present a de-“ tldtd co'dci ss between tbe Courts of Florence end tbe TDilrrles.

His relations with Austria bave, iedted, never been of that bitter, distrust, ful character ibat has of late years marked tbe diplomatic communications of Italy with France. Perhaps tbe old family connection wbicb bas . xisti a for centuries between the Houses of Hspcbnrg and Savoy bas something to do witb ibtir sympathy for each other. Victor Ea monuel is the eon of an Aostrtan arcbduchcßS, and bis late wife wbb the daughter of an Aas iil:in archduke; and the projecting lower lip of be Hapsburgs is very distinctly visible In Prince Humbert and other members of bis family.

Tt« rtesipts of tbe year amounted to $28,216 56, rad total disbursements $28,178 56, leaving a balance of $6B. A circular letter in reference to lay delegation was read by the Secretary. Tbe subjeet of lay lelegation in ibe Metbodlst church was fally en dorsed. Tbe letter states that tbe introduction of laymen into tbe highest council of the church is neither wrong in principle nor dangerous in practice. A committee was appointed consisting of Dr. Klndler, Bev. C. Yost and Rev. C. Blinn, o take charge of the letter and report on the same. The statistics of the different churches for the past year were then received and taken charge of tiy the appropriate committees. A resolution was adopted to relation' to tbo decease of Rev. J. C. Lyons, former pastor of Girard Avenue Ger man Methodist Church, and it was ordered that -ddresses should be made on Satnrday morning in relation thereto, after whieh the sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be celebrated.

East Gkbmah Costekknce Amnivkusakibs Wtdnesdav eveniDg ihe Conference Missionary Society held its anniversary in tbe Girard Avenue yleibodist Church. Tbe audience was good, and ihe addresses were well received. The mission work in Germany had a remarkable beginning. During the ministry of Rev. W. Nast, at Cincin nati, in 1839, “one evening a young physician, at ibe request of several of his companions, and with a view of furnishing an article for a noto rious German paper in this city, which frequently h ensiled the German Methodlstß with its low, abusive slang, entered the church and took his sent nearjhe pulpit. The preacher noticed him as he tookbis seat and was making preparations for taking notes ot what passed in the meeting Under the sermon he was awakened and con verted. Be was a young man of .fine address, finished education, and became the founder ol tbe missions in Germany.” Since 1847 the 'work has spread. At present they report: Missionaries, 41; members, 4,302; on trial, 1,626; aggregate, 6,928; chapels, 23; preaching places In circuits around chapels. 277; collections (gold), $10,416; Bunday-schools, 139; scholars, 6,868. The mission is In the form of a regular annual conference, divided into six pre siding eldeis' districts, and covers all Germany, occupies the German Cantons of Switzerland, and extendß to the Germans In Geneva and Paris. They have also the Martin Mission Institute, Just built at Frankfort-ou-the-Slain. railed after the name of John T. Martin. Esq., of Brooklyn, Long Island, who generously con tributed twenty-five thousand dollars .for that purposo. It is nnder the snpervlsion of Rev. J. F. Hurst, D. D. The Book Concern, located at Bremen, is an active and profitable agent In carrying on their great work. Bv the aid of the Parent Tract Society at home, and the Religious Tract Society Id London, they send forth tracts and Sunday School books not only throughout Germany and . Switzerland, but also to tbe numerous German colonies and villages in Turkey, Rusbls, Hungary nrd France.

During the war of the rebolllon, he was the Bteadfast friend of tho Ualon in that land, and his name was a tower of strength. —ln the year 1868 five hundred officers wore eashlored fiom the Austrian army on aeeonut ol dishonorable behavior, among which figure vory considerably the fact of not pa.viee tbolr biffs after pledging their “word of honor.” A liou tenani’s pay ranges from fifteen to twenty dol lars per month, out of which ho has to Had his outfit, uniform, and subscribe towards the main tenance of the regimental music corpß.

Twltcbell, Jr., was Altgeldl, the witness who rwore that be saw two men leave the scene of tbe murder. An auDt of Twitcbell was also at Har- lisburg. Not tbe least singular feature of tbe matter was tbe conduct of Uibereon and Dyke, iwo of tbe jurors who convicted tbe accused. On the 24th ol March, 1869, they signed a paper alleg ing informality or impropriety in tbe trialj and It war sent to tbe Executive on tbe 27th of March. Three days afterwards they sent a private letter io Governor Geary urging him, not to pay any attention to tbeir first statement. The pressure upon tbe Governor was intense, but these ap peals lacked Ibe one great essential, viz : Evi dence. The course of tbe Executive was marked witb courtesy, and every opportunity was given io those who desired to change liis views. From the day of the verdict he has seen no evidence to shake his faith in that verdict. Every human probability bas asserted tbe guilt ol Twitcbell. In tbe case of Eaton strong appeals were also made. Eaton was tbe associate of thieves, and was himself a runner for gambling-houses and a tool for reckless characters. It was this class of men who asserted his innocence, and here, as in the case of Twitchell, all the appeals for mercy were unsupported by a shadow of evidence. Heenan, tbe pugilist, and brother of tbe murdered man, telegraphed on Wednesday to tbe Governor on behalf of Eaton, but Bis Excellency deemed that the safety and good order of society required tbe execution. Since that event a threatening letter bas been re ceived at tbe Executive Department, declaring that tbe death of Eaton will be avenged. Tbe letter shared tbe fate of all anonymous commu nications. Proposed Consolidation ol Railroad*. fSpeclai Despatch to the Pbtlada.

H. Barneß as Collector of internal Revenue for tbo First District of Pennsylvania, was sent in to the Senate to-day. forty- First Congre»-llrat Session. (Senate —Continued from the Third Edition] Mr. COnkling said the imposition of the new condition proposed by the Senator from In diana (Mr. Morton) would be u breach of faith. That Senator concluded that the States in ques tion had remained unreconstructed only because they bad wilfnlly stood out and refused to accept reconstruction upon tbe conditions offered by Congress. This certainly was not true of Vir ginia, one ol the States to which this bill was in tended to apply. Virginia bod gone on as far os the conld in the prescribed cause of reconstruc tion, and had failed to complete only because tbe commanding general re presenting tbe Go vernment of the United Stale& had been unable, lor want of money, to hold the election which wss necessary as a condition precedent to her ad mission to representation in Congress. Mr. Thurman said that the power of Congress in relation to changing the Constitution was merely the proposing of amendments. But the amendment of the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton) proposed that Congress, having already submitted the 15th Constitutional amendment to tbo people, should now go on and coerce cer tain States into ratiiying lt.‘ This would be an outrage, not only npon the peoplo of those States, the people of all the States, by fixing negro suffrage upon them. Indeed, be uaderstoofi the Benator to say that one great ob ject of his amendment was to override the will of Ihe people of bis State, Indiana. Mr. Morton—Not to override tho will of the people, bnt tp overrule a revolutionary parly in Indiana, which seeks to thwart the will of the people. Mr. Thurman—lf the Senator really believes that the people of Indiana are in iavor of negro suffrage, why not consent to submit it to them di rectly, and not attempt to force it upon them by a Legislature elected on the Chicago platform, which expressly disavowed the intention to force negro suffrage on tbe States in tho Union? After some remarks by Mr. Thurman, the amendment was agreed lo by the following vote: YkAs—Messrs. Abbott, Brownlow, Buck ingham/Carpenter, Chandler, Cole, Drake, Harns.tHoward, McDonald, Morrill.
