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

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. King Victor Emmanuel slib
nlstroßis ibe Emperor Napoleon, aa be did in
1666, wben be told General Ulloa that be
* ould not remain the ally of Napoleon a mo
ment longer than was absolutely necessary, and
ibat as soon as be was strong enough to do
without bim be would ratber tarn to Austria as
bis natural ally. 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

A circular letter in reference to lay delegation
was read by the Secretary. Tbe subjeet of lay

of laymen into tbe highest council of the church
is neither wrong in principle nor dangerous in

A committee was appointed consisting of Dr.

The statistics of the different churches for the

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;

Bakhisduuu, April 9.— Among tbe persona
<»bo visited tbe Governor on bcbalf of George 8.
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.

(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. Morton.
Nye,. Qsborne, : Ppol, Pratt, Ramsey, Rice,
Robertson, Ross, Schurz, Sherman, Stewart,
Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Warner, Williams, Wil
son and Yates--30.

Caesferly,' Conkling, Davis, Edmunds, Featon,
Kerry, Fessenden, Fowler, McCreery, Norton,
Patterson, Sawyer,Bpragne.dtocktoD, Thnrman,
Trumbnllapd: Willey—2o.
Mr. Trumbull proposed several verbal amend
ments designed to remove ambiguities la the
original bIU, which'wove agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Edmnnds, tho Bixth soctlon,
authorizing the Commanding general to suspend
until tbo action of the Legislature all laws that
be may deem UDjußt and oppressive, was strickou

Mr. Edmunds offered the following additional
.section, which was adopted—declaring that the
proceedings of any of said States shall not bo
deemed final or operate as a complete restoration
until their action shall tie approveiTby Congress.
Mr. Davis, understanding people ot
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas were willing to
oeci.pC tbo bill as passed by the House, had
not intended lo say anything against It, although
opposed to it, but ho could not let that most un-
constitutional and outrageous addition tor tbe MU
pass wllboot-protesting against IL
[Hoobr—Oontinard from tbe Third Fnlitlo*.!
Mr. Cook moved to suspend tbe rules to enable
btm to report from the Judiciary Committee tho
bill to provide for tbe publication of the opinions
of the Attorney-General, and for other purposes.
Tbe rules were suspended, and the biU came
before tbe House for action, and. was passed
under tbe previous question.
Mr. Painp, Chairman of the Committee on
Elections, moved that the Representatives elect
from tho 'State of Connecticut be sworn Id.
They had not tbe usual regular certificate, be
cause tbe canvass was not yet fnllv completed,
but they had credentials from State officials
wbicb satisfied tbe Committee on Electlona una
nimously (bat they were duly elected.
Mr. Brooks suggested that tbls would establish
a very dangeroDß precedent. Wbat was the par
ticular object of tbls baste? Was it simply to
anticipate pay and mileage ? --
Mr. Paine retorted that whatever satisfied tbe
House of tbe election of Its members satisfied tbe
conslitntional requirement. The canvass could
not be fully completed before the adjournment of
ibe seselon.
After some further discussion, tbe motion was
agreed to, and Messrs; Strong, Kellogg and
Starkweather were sworn os Representatives
from ibe State ot Connecticut, Mr. Bsraum, the
lourtb Representative, not being present.
Tbe Speaker appointed Mcssre. Sebenck, Atchi
son and Marshall, the conference committee on
the whisky and tobacco bill.
Mr. Paine, from the Committee on Election',
reported a resolution for a sub-committee to take
testimony In South Carolina in tbe elections in
tbe Third and Fourth Districts. Adopted.
Mr. Julian, from Ibe Committee on Public
Lands, reported a bill to establish a Land District
in Wj oming Territory.

Company tbe right of way, grant of lands, &c.

New York. Api il 9 —The money market has auumed
an easier tone, and the tendency la toward lower rates.
It opened easy at coin interest, 7 per cent, and later ip
the day stocks were turned at 1-32, and commietlon addi
tional oo the general list, although New York Central re
quiitdllti. governments were carried at 182 until to

movement in 63*b noticed tbe nast two days seems to
liflve culminated, and the stock is held strong at 119%(9

in the ) center way induces the belief that & considerable

are made at 117%. while sales in the regular way
are made at sot Uea than 119%. The gold market has
been remarkably strong, and advaucea from 132% to

fact that a combination has been formed to put up the

t timing that the pro payment of the May coupon Interest
will cot throw much available cash gold into the street
until after the ccn* on> held by thu European capiulista
