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.. But _ifSpaia,is_not_possible_for
her, xri,it we snggeSt that a Consulship or

It is announced tluOtpr l lttomas ; •C.. 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. Cespedes I waited for
tiftccn -days, during which not

And so, - al ling in fulleAt force,
They broughtthe things to his house, of course.
They spread the table, and placed upon it
For the minister's wife, a,bran new bonnet;
Two big wax dolls, with rich blonde curls,
For two of the minister's little girls. .
'Twas a merry time, and, don't you see?
They staid at the , minister's house, to tea!
And they made some clothes,and brought some
toys,
For each of the minister's little'boys.
They thought of an economical plan
To make a gift for the clergyman;
And w 5 hat in the world, do you suppose?
They trial to make him a suit of clothes!
When he put them on, he said "Oh! Dear!
"What a horrible botch they've made! look
here!
'The vest's too skimp! The, coat, how it
pinches . !
AT he pants! too short, byabontsix inches!"
And when in the pulpit, he looked so queer,
That the ladies who made them, said, "Oh!
Dear!
"We'd better not botch clothes, Any more,
"But tuy them at ROCKHILL & WILSON'S
STORE!
The ladies may try their hands on their own
clothes, and make a great success; but it is a
good idea to let ROCKHILL & WiLSON'try
their hands at making their friends of the male
ex look handsome.
Itis a great deal cheaper to buy clothes at
ROCKHILL & WILSON'S than to buy the
stuff, and have it made up at home. And you

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.
THE COURTS

horses were returned as agreed upoti. Jury out.

The New York Money Market.
[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

ranging from seven to nine per cent.
Foreign exchange shows further concessions on the
part of drawer., and the market is rather unsettled. A

suspicion, and induce the drawer to put up his rates.

Gold was comparatively quiet, with ; the general. tone

be freed froth such suits. The following letter
of resignation was received and read from T.

GENTLEMEN: The last rail has been laid. The
successful completion of this great work in so
short a time is unparalleled in history, and
will probably never be equalled.—To have
been instrumental in its accomplishment is au
honor which should . gratify any ambition
to which I may have a.spired,
Since the organization of the - Company I have,
at much personal sacrifice, devoted my time
and energies to the promotion of its interests.
My private affairs demand my attention, and.
the present seems a fit occasion for tendering
- my resignation as Vite-President of the Com
pany to take effect whenever you are ready to
elect my successor,and at the same time to de
cline being elected as Director of
the Company at the ensuing election. The suc
cess of the enterprise will, in a great measure,
depend upon the future economical manage
ment of the operating departMents, which, I
have no doubt, will receive proper attention
at your hands. Believing this to be your
policy, I still retain my interest as the largest
stockholder in the company, amrwith my best
- wishes for its prosperity,

' • NEw Yonx, May 1, 1869.—Dear Sir : It has
never been my intention to remain in direc
tion of. the Union Pacific Railroad after its
completion, and as it is now substantially
done and the stockholders are about to elect a
new Board, I herewith tender my resignation.
The decision of the stockholders to remove the
office of the company to Boston renders it ne
cessary that the treasurer reside there.
I therefore - resign that position, to take effect
from this date.

I have concluded that it would not be practi
cable or convenient for me to leave my busi

Fluctuations in Gold

(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
Yonx, May 26.—The money market is
the same .as yesterday. 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. Stocks --
Opened strong and active, with an advance in
the entire list, but as the day advanced the
entire market fell off iall per cent., the Van
derbilt stocks taking the lead.
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. N.
Y, Central fell from 1931 to 1921; Reading,
from 1014: to 100; Michigan Southern, from:
1101 to 109; Pittsburgh, from 991 to 98.1;

1581 to 1571; Wabash, from 178.1 to 1771; Hudson,
from 162 to 1591; Harlem, from 149 to 147.
North Western shares are noticeably strong,
and not particularly declined. At the present
writing (1.30) the entire market shows a partial
recovery.---The-miseellaneous- and express -

Views of the President

,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.
