BrefluesdaY, May 26,1E60). FRANCE. Since, the. establishment of the second Em pire, Prance has gone through no such exciting elections as those now in progress. The oppo sition to imperialism has not before been so slecidedp so bold and so out-spoken. There have been many popular demonstrations in the large cities which have seriously alarmed the Government. Very stringent measures had - to be resorted to to suppress these, and it appears, that in Many cases the opposition were intimi 4dated into not voting. The Imperialist, or *official" candidates have been elected in a large majority of districts, and it is thought that the opposition will be weaker in the new Legis lativelpody than it was in the old one. As Napoleon grows to be an Old man, he fmdsit 'necessary to hold his subjects by ..a very tight rein. There is a dread in his• mind and among t his friends that his , disability or his death will Precipitate a new revolution, and he is constantly iMposing new and severer disci- Aline nporithe refractory. He will claim that his apparent success at :the' late _elections is a fresh popular endorsement of his policy, a new 'crowning of the edifice," to use his favorite phrase. But every one familiar with France and French politics knoWs how elections are managed, especially in the rural regions, where the prefects and other government officers are looked Upon with awe and dread by the igno rant peasantry, who rarely venture to express liberal sentiments or to vote in accordance with them. In the large cities, like Paris, Lyons and Itfarseilles,' the opposition is strong and bold, butthese are more than balanced by the timid and subServient populace of the rest of the country. Napoleon 111. is now sixty-one years of age, and he cannot count upon living many years longer:: = llis son is only thirteen, and the father must feel great solicitude over the prospect of leaving his throne to a mere. lad, especially with all the elements of opposition fermenting So fiercely as they have done.. lately. The result of the elections may give him temporary relief, and he will exert himself more, cheerfully than ever to make the centennial celebration of the . great_ Napoleon's 'birth, the 15th of next Au gust, an imposing demonstration, which may be called another "crowning of the edifice.", Next to suppressing liberty of speech and of suffrage, he knows that the best Way of quieting the French 'people is to amuse them with fetes. True, they are taxed heavily for this amuse ment, but they forget this while' the illmnina, tions, the reviews, the free theatres and the public sports of all kinds are going 'on. But She time will come when these will be of no avail, and the peaceful succession of a Napoleon Fourth to the throne of Fyance is looked upon as extremely problematical. A VERY UNPLEASANX FEMALF If the engineers of the woman's rights move ment wish to retain the resirtat. of t h e omnrnti laity,it will bejudicious for them to take measures for the supression of their rampageous disciple, , ',Dr. Mary Walker. For a good many years past ,this coarse and vulgar woman has been a pub lic nuisance. She Was tolerated in the army a long while, because of her supposed fitness for hospital duty, affhongh it is not recorded that, she ever did any substantial service except iii assisting to lighten the quartermaster's wagons, and to dispose of foragers' spoils. .She was a camp follower of the Most ordinary 'rid an pleasant kind ; and, presuming upon tie cour tesy shown to her as a woman, she did things .....lhata rale banger-on would not have been permitted to:do, and inifinled herself in Places in which a woman should not have been seen. Within the past fel; monthS she has come out in the character of an officeseeker, and - there ' is not . in Washington an official ;who has not been annoyed by her impudent perirarity. The best proof that women have many privileges not accorded to the male sex,• mot.. in the fact that this trousered female has iir..4, been treated with extreme rudeness during any of her numerous raids upon the Depart incnts in Washington. Her insolence and vul party have been so aggavating, that if she had been a man, official legs would have been em ployed very often in kicking her dCwn stairs. Itepck.hig perfect confidence, however, in the ciamlry of the sex for which she professes . hatred, she has used her virago's tongue bit terlyapon every prominent officer from the .Presitent down. The latest assault was made upon Secretary Fish... She came to demand an appointment as Secretary of Legation to Spain, and 4.1. e... sup portedtier demand with such ferocity that the chief ..or the Foreign Office, glancing at her trousers, quailed. The question, How to get rid of her, for the moment asstuned more ter ale wad perplexing proportions than the Ala'- barna claims controversy. To giVe her the ap pointment, would be to insure the resignation or self-destruction of General Sickles.. To re fuse .her request, while ten finger-nails close at hazabthirsted for piscatorial—blood, was mad ness. Diplomacy, clearly, was the widest, • as in thatoflice it was the most natural policy. 'e Secretary asked if Mary could talk Spanish. if be lad eempelled .her to walk Spanish, the tiesult would have been ungraceful but satis faaory,although not perhaps safe. But she did neither, and 1,4...Fi5h at last induced her departure by promising ~to refer the matter to GerieZal Siskles--flis • v+gdict perhaps can be • Amlicillated..

Durant kiisivaigned the - Oeft freSideney of "the - Union - Facifle Railroad: itt its a sound maxim that no 'man is .essential. No great or good work ever fails' because this or thakman is taken , away from it. If it were, otherwise,. every mat or good work in.pie,World would soon come ,to an end. But there - are' men, here and, there, whose strong individualities impress themselves so powerfully upon the operations of life, who give'such ipspiration to the, efforts of other men, who ard 'so 'peculiarly constituted to be master spirits among the masses, that it is very natural that they should be regarded as indis pensable. &Oka:man is non* C. Durant, Vice Pre sident Of the Union Pacifie Railroad. Of this world-renowned enterprise , the New York Ti bune recently said: • ... . "We remeniber how long and bow vainly we looked for men to undertake this work. , We remember how science demonstrated its perils, experience maintained its impractica bility, capital shrank from itsgigantac cost and uncertain returns. •At last the gentlemen who subsequently became the corporators of the Union Pacific andl„ central Pacific Railrowis stepped forward. 'When Congress hesitated, they begged; argued, lobbied,' till they secured charters. When Wall street sneered and prl!ferred copper mines and corners in ;Erie, they furnished the capital. When the ' great money centres of.. the world, and the great governments 7 of the-world, be lieved that this nation was drifting helplessly l i into disruption and anarchy, their sublime faith in its future enabled them to prosecute, in the midst of war, an undertaking mightier than any other country; in its peaceful prime, bad ever essayed. Through' embarrassment and distrust at home as to the National futhre through natural obstacles. that had hitherto been regarded almost 'or unite insuperable, through frontier hostilities and the barren ness of the great plains and , the desolation of the mountains, they have steadily held their way." . . ' ' N ' • f t ' What is thus so trul . said o this Company collectively, applies ' wl l li peculiar force to its Vice President,. Dr. 'lhomas C. Durant; . More than to any other nip, the early success' of the Union Pacific Rail oad is due to' him:. - His has been the contiOling,'energizing, inspiring, 1 driving sspirit ofil l the Whole work. 'Witrcit. Wonderful tactic 4or mental and Physial en luarnee, ari ? 4 :iiw'.finii •:obstinately enthusiastic faith in hiN'Pc4er of siteeeSs, he has been per- 1 sonally felt as the N'ital fo'ree Of the enterprise, as much:in Wall street' , as iflOmalia or in Utah. Always on the alert; : al.7; , i k ws ready for emergencies; always fertile in resources; al ways aiming at greater results; he'has been the 'same tainbodiment of that-"go-nheaditiveness" with IWhich Cyrus W. Field conquered the probtin of the Atlantic 'Cable, and which io so emir, ntly a trait of the - best American type of ch4cter. About a year ago, a party of gentlemen from the East visited the then Western terMinus of the Union Pacific Railroad, more than 700 miles beyond the Missouri, in the wilds of 'WOyoming Territory. They were astonished at the nu&ellons speed with which the track was rid, at a rate of about two-and-a-half iles a day, and all agreed that the maximum Of railroad-building had been reached. But while they were yet on the ground, a car glided up alongside of their train, and Viee- President Durant, whom they had left a few - days before, ,_hard at . work in • New York, stepped out and joined them. - The purpose of ' his presence was soon known. He had deter mined that it was possible to build four miles a day, and had "run . out . 'a couple of thousand . miles''. '' to . see it done. A countil of cantraetbrswas sneetlily convened, men accustomed to believe : in all possibilities, under Durant's magnetic inspiration. The cal culation,: wore ortplaineil t the forces organized, the orders given, and in a day Or two the "max imum" achievethents were left behind, and the track pushed forward into the wilderness, four miles in every day ! Pick and 'spade; sledge and bar; axe and saw; laborer, contractor, teamster. agent, officer, conductor, brakeman, engine -driver, stoker,•=all seemed to feel -the touch of the one master Dime that poured it self along the far-rea4ing line of operations from IN e NN , York to Omaha, and from Omaha to the extreme western terininus of the work. We have no personal acquaintance with Vice President Durant, but he has become one of the public men of America, through his con nection with the Union Pacific Railroad. Any man who achieves so much for agreat national enterprise, and who illustrates so well the energy and pluck and versatile genius of the American character, deserves high praise from all who are proud of,these nationahtraits. The Union Pacific Railroad suffers a severe loss in Dr. Durant's resignation, but it has been fortunate indeed in haVing so able an executive officer, throughout the desperate struggle which has just terminated so triumph antly. Whoever may succeed the\retiring Vice President will find the great labors\ of the work already done; but enough will remain to show that if it is true that no man is indispensable, there are some whose places are not very easily THE SPAAPiii PLEA FOR MURDER. The other day Me; Spanish authorities in Cuba published in the American newspapers an explanation and attempted extenuation of Valnlasedres barbarous proclamation, by which license was given to the Spanish soldiery to burn villages, and to slaughter men, women and children at, their pleasure. The Spaniard gave as .au apology for this unpardonable out rage, that the Cuban chief had issued a decree declaring no quarter to the enemy captured in aims against the revolution: It was something gained to have the Spaniards attempt to excuse Vahnaseda's iniquity. It proved that thef comprehended its enormity and felt the import ance of quieting the storm of indignant public opinion which burst forth in this country when the document was issued. But their statement of the case is false ,and treacherous, and not to he received by honest- men. It is well known that the Spaniards, from the very commencement of the present war, have been in the habit of slaying their prisoners in Cold blood. So general did this practice become, that Cespedes, in the rightful exercise of his -authority, determined to_protect his_adherents , from slaughter, by protest if possible; if not, by retaliation. lle sent an ambassador to the Spanish commander, asking that the rules of civilized warfare slicld be observed,—giViiiTg— him fifteen days in which to consider the . matter; ainFthreatening retaliation if his Kotler- NVIIS not accepted. The commander hratally maitre :114'1 the messenger, and 'refused tO ceive his. despatches.

The people of this country are not so blindly partial to the Cuban insur- • gents that they can only find fault with their oppressors; but we have here so plain a story that we must believe it if we have confidence hi our own intelligence. The Spanish attempt to deny it,simply deepens our . sympathy for the brave islanders, who , have to contend with men So delibrately , cruel that they can understand the wickedness of their conduct sufficiently well to perceive that it needs to be apologized for to civilized whims-.

How to Lose Potttital Identity. We extract the following from the correspondence of the Boston Post: . . . For some time past a great political pressure has boon brought to bear upon the head of one 'of the Treasury Bureaus to procure the removal of a clerk who has been over twenty years in the office, and who has become very valuable to the govermnent by reason of his long experi ence. The officer was very reluctant to part .with the clerk, and in his dilemma he called on the President and laid the matter before him. The President 'Tolled , that when a clerk had served the Government faithfully for many, years. and was still competent and necessary to the service, ho should be regarded as haVing 'lost all political identity. Such men had spent the best yearn of their lives In the Government service, and should` e en titled to as much consideration as an old and faithful .arm y or navy officer. The President added that ho koped all the heads of Departments and Bureaus, in malting up their lists for removal, would omit searching the records of past years for the political antecedents of old and valuable clerks.

[From the New York Herald of to•day.[ Dfev 25.—The markets in Wall street to-day were unu sually dull. a spring languor seeming to creep over mat ters and things in that generally busy locality. "Or ders" are "'few and far between" with the brokers, but .sufficient to make quotations quite active, and give stocks the semblance, of great buoyancy. There was con tinued and somewhat excited discussion of the reticence of Sectetary Boutwell in not declaring his policy in the question of buying bonds or three per cents to effect the ride of an extra million of gold. Those I who are • short of gold and governmente seem to be har monious in endeavoring to frighten holders into sdling by • enlarging ' upon the robabil ities of Mr. Boutwell's buying the certificates instead of bonds. The fact LS, no one knows what his intentions are. The- weaker feeling in gold is the secret of the weakness in govertnnents, and the ._beariil - Liiethe latter are naturally very earnest in spreading any reports which redound to their speculative, benefit. The range of governments today was a repetition in many points of the.fluctuations of yesterday. The London quotation, 19, created a steadv, if not a better feeling at the noon 'board. but the softening of the gold market, the dulness of exchange. which - prevents the foreign houses from in creakier: their purchases, and the three per cent. rumors operated for lower prices. The money market was without any particularly novel feature until late in the day, when more activity ensued and loans were more general at the full legal rate as a conseuuence of the flurry produced by the announcement of the defalcation of the late President of the Brooklyn Atlantic National Bank. It was also reported that the bank had been compelled to suspend, but on examina tion the deficit was found to be limitsol to $2,50400, for a !portion of which the deceased president left certain deeds of reel estate. Commercial paper was less active at rates ranging from seven to nine per cent. Foreign exchange shows further concessions on the part of drawer., and the market is rather unsettled. A few slays since large amounts might be purchased at figures loner than the market quotations. Now a de• mond for a large sum would probably be regarded with suspicion, and induce the drawer to put up his rates. The weaknese which is characteristic of the immediate present of the market is due to the pressure to sell bond - bills on the part of foreign bankers who bought govern ments freely sets the recent advance in London. Gold was comparatively quiet, with ; the general. tone of the market weak, under the reaction from the excite ment which carried the price up to the verge of 145, the declining tendency being assisted to-day by the reports that Mr. Bout - well would buy three per cents. instead of an... additional million or Government bonds. Tho higliest price was 141% and the lowest 140%. 15-om this latter figure there was a reaction to 141P.VAtto in a measure to apprehension for the final results o f the de falcation in the Atlantic Bank of Brooklyn. The dis bursements (f coin interest from the etub-Treasary an:minde to DI:6M licCash go d ld w ? •as in unusually good supply and as high as 1.T2 was allowed upon tine currency collateral in transac tions for carrying. The general rates were six and seven per cent.. with an exception at "fiat." The report of the Gold Exchange Bank was as follows: Gold cleared 5' 92,033,000 Gold balances 2,M0,377 Currency balances 4.0.54.757 The proposals for the new city bonds were opened yes terday at the Comptroller's office. The bids ranged from 100 to 103, with exceptional offers for small amounts at 93 and 105. The awards will net an 'average of 101%.

Gold is weak. It opened at 1401, advanced to 140, fell to 1391, and again rose to 140. The transactions are • on a limited scale, and the market without special interest. Cash gold is abundant; loans are made ritsaB per cent. for carrying. The bond market is dull and devoid of in terest. The absence of quotations from Lon don, this morning, this being, a partial holiday there, tends to produce a little feeling of ac tivity in the local, market, while exchange being low, foreign dealers are not desirous of purchasing: Foreign exchange continues weak. Prune sixty day hills are in limited de mand at 9101; short sight, 10alOir: State bonds are dull and lower, especially Tenfiessees, on account of some reported de -rimgement of the State Treasury.

The 'various rumors as to Secretary Bout-, well's future policy on the proceeds of the gold sales-, and-some considerations affected by the defalcation of the Atlantic Bank in Brooklyn, were the immediate causes'of the decline.

BY_ TELEGRAPH. LATER FROM . WASHINGTON OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND SENSATIONAL R U"M OR B • No Reliance to be Placed ip Them DOINGS OF INTRIGUING POLITICIANS Views of the President lie Iptends to be Master of the Situation ,Our Relations with England. (special Denatch to the Philada..Eventng Bulletin.) WAsnixoxon, May 26.—The rumors current here in regard to our relations with England, to the effect that President Grant is engaged in fraping a more energetic policy,' :are con- . • sidered by the besthlnformed persons as merely sensational. It is true that General Butler advised' a war policy, and that Mr. Sumner " i ns in favor of re-opening negotiations with Eng ' land;', but President Grant, notwithstanding all this obstacles which are thrown in his way by intriguing politicians, as well as by, hreats of Senatorial interference and dictation, has taken the management of this difficult question into his own hands. In doing so he, feelsthat'. • he is but carrying out the will of the people and that his course will be approved of by them. It is ascertained from the most trustworthy Sourcp3 that President Grant considers that England established a precedent during the late war which cannot be considered, other wise than exceedingly favorable to the United States. It is therefore useless to ask England •to retrace steps so long as she considers herself lin the right, and with nothing to fear from the 'United, States in case she should go • to.. war with any other power. President Grant believee that these are.mat t,erit concerns England rather than the United States but, on the other hand, if England sees that she was wrong, 'and that • the same neutrality principles she applied ta us would prove very disastrous r. if applied to herself in some future emergenc3r, then it is for her to open again the so-called Alabama matter, and make propositions ,for new nego tiations. In this condition the question stands for the present, and President Grant -sees no necessity whatever of inaugurating just now a more foreign policy in reference to England. In connectio'n with this subject it has become known that several cable despatches were recently sent to leading officials in Eng land by English parties, and the answers .thereto say that the bitter feeling which at first existed after the receipt of Siiinner's speech is beginning ~ to' 'disappear and cool down, and it is anticipated here in official circles that the violent excitement which has existed in England, will - very soon subside a good deal. Importance is also attached here • to•the reception of Minister Washburne by the French Emperor. For some months pre vious' to the departure of 31. Berthemy, the French Minister, from the United States, the relations between France and this country . were becoming very friendly, and it WaS'un derstood then that the appointment of Minis ter Wasliburne would be very well received by Napoleon, who would regard the sending of a personal friend of the - President to his Court as an act of good-will. It appears from the report of Mr. Washburne's official recep tion that relations with that power are very satisfactory. These manifestations of good-will between the two countries demon strate the fact that England will stand per fectly alone in her controversy with this country. The rresbyterian General Assewbly.
