~.,b '- • treaty with England may be rescinded, if
,kl•,...tace is Ellen by the 4th of next April, and
:-• t'• I'. re IS a vehement clamor for the giving of
'-.-. *itstich• notice.
The imperial government has so far been
'?• ; .,#tafitterteed by this clamor as to "appoint a cona
•:•,l*ssion of inquiry into the state of the sutler
:-.." e g panitlacturing interests aud the results of
,:••,!,',„. ; treaty of commerce.. under the presitienee
,t
:_':of -the Ministers.- But this does "tot satisfy the
k
-;fr',ituflering classes, and they object to the, Minis
'•'?' ters having anything. to ilo•with it. They do
- 'nand an independent conamis.sion, to be
formed by the Legislative Body, because such
a one as has been offered would only prejudge
the question at issue, give geater weight to a
for gone` and support the existing
• slate of things and the treaty with England by
an oftial report in their favor. The great
leader 'of the protectionists is M. Pouyer-
Quertier, and he, M. Kolb-Bernard and others
Atave r heen writing and addressing large publi6
meetings in Paris, Bonen, Lille, Amiens,
Roubaix, Mulhouse and other centres of mama
. 'lactating industry. The proposed government
commission has been condemned by the C'hana
;bars of Commerce of Douai, Elbomf and
— l3o — ibet . - ,itYfite Industrial and Commercial Asso-
Oiation of Normandy, and by other similar
bodies.
The government finds itself, in fact, in a
mmost embarrassing position. This embarrass
ent has been 'lncreased, says a late letter
from Paris, by a new movement on the part of
n.Thiers, M. Buffet, the Marquis d'Aude
' Jaffe, and other members of the liberal and
constitutional opposition, and which is likely
to enlist on the side of protection the prestige
*f the new political feeling of the country, and
to discredit free trade with the stigma of its
imperialist origin. - The above parties intend.
it is said, to interpellate the government, first
upon the " necessity of denouncing the Treaty
of COMRICW, witkE n gland before the 4th of
...Febrnary next t '!
iCCOndlu )
t o move
a resolu
tion iliat 'the existing tariff be retained mi in
terim;" and thirdly, that a "new bill be pre
sented without delay, which shall raise anew
and re-settle all the questions in dispute."
The circumstance that the protectionists are
to be reinforced by the active support of such
a man as Thiel's, in the Legislative Body, in
creases the alarm of the Free Traders and the
disqnietude of the government. The Jouriud
(Vicki, evidently giving expression to this dis
quietude, makes ttmost humble appeal in fa
vor of the Official commission of inquiry against
the numberless " misapprehensions" of which it
has been Made the object. The government
organ insists that there is no intention of foie
stalling or interfering with the rights of the
legislature on the question. ‘ No one," it says,
with a change ot language, not a little remark
able at the present juncture of circumstances
" no one can pretend to forestall the wishes and
the resolutions of the Clamber." And again,
further on, it is declared that "the Chamber
must, under all circumstances, be the final
court of appeal."
The resignation of the Ministers( just an
nounced by the cable telegrams, has been
brought about by the necessity for a change of
the government policy on many important
questions, and most probably, one of these is
me Free Trade queStion. The views of Emile
()Wrier, who is authorizeA r to form a new Min
istry, on this question, are not known to us.
But as be represents in the Legislative Body a
district largely inhabited by manufacturers and
working men, it is probable he is a protectionist.
'she only parts of France where the Free
Traders have strength or courage to make any
demonstrations is in the wine-growing districtS
and in the cities whence wine is shipped. Of
ocurse the existing treaty is beneficial to them.
But their interests cannot, he supposed to over
balance those of all the other industrieS that
are oppressed by it. These infirtries have
been thoroughly aroused, and the organiza
tion for the common benefit is every day
growing stronger. They have to combat, along
with the Free Traders of France and the min
isterial obstinacy, the money and the influence
`" i
, 431' the British Free Traders, which
Lave been so liberally employed also
inthis ~- s country. But that they will triumph
„eventually, can scarcely be dmibied. If their
..
triumph should be deferred very long, the
".t ' 44overinnent will sutler; for the question of
Protection to Home Industry is entering so
..: s. largely into the politics of France that it will
''';., lead to serious political trouble. The friends
' f tuf a protective tariff in tlm United StateS may
_,..,
'take new courage from the results of the fair
trial of Free . Trade which has been made in
''. Iranee. If it)vere once tried here the distress
No ,
- among .the.Manufactureis and working classes
would be infinitely greater:
AN INTERNATIONAL CABLE TREATY

V)
Secretary Fish to our ministers and diplomatic

i 4.,,. • - call upon the dillerent powers to Participate in

subject is apparent to every one. The present

ing parties inthaM of .war; While,' in time..of
peaee'Such thniernments as that of France 'are •
likely to subject cable telegrams to an espionage
which is irisntlerable to the citizens of a free
country like this.,.
The basis of` negotiations 'tattered by Seer e tary Fish contains Lure egeneral propositions,
to all. 'of ' the l} tilted "States
will 'be likely ,to agreement
before it will grant to Tereigh etniipanies the
privilege of . landing cables upon its shores.
First, that oCeati cables shall not be molested
in time of war, tinder penalty of such molestk.,
don being regarded and punished as, an act of
piracy ; second, that no nation shall undertake
to giant exclusive rights to any company with,
out the consent of the government of the coun
try with which it is connected by "the. cable;
third, that provisionshall , be made to prevent,
the scrutiny of Messages by . government' oiti
dais. The. necessityfitr the first of these Prei - ,
visions (hies hot rec . /Mkt?: demeteLiation. It`-
would be simply harbarons to permit the,
wanton destruction of such costly and benefi
cent enterprises merely to gain a small' tempo
rary advantage in time of war. If any nation
is likely to suffer from admission of such a
clause to the proposed ,treaty, it is the United
States, for we could not use any cable, as Eng
land Can use her's, for military purposes. 'As
we have made the proposition, therefore, it will
be likely to he accepted readily by European
nations. .The second and. third.ltroPositions
apply immediately to the difficulties which have
arisen between this Government and France in
regard to the French Cable. France has
granted to Erlanger and Renter privileges'
which wholly exclude Atneriean companies
from her shores, and these men have presumed
to land their cable in this country in defiance of
the demand on the part of our Government that
they shonld yield their exclusive rights in
France. It is entirely impossible that we
should submit to this injustice. Common re
spect for the rights of our own citizens forbids
such a thing. ' Either the French company
must abandon its monopoly or take its cable
away. Mr. Fish's letter is intended to induce
an acceptance of the former alternative, and
we believe' it will be successful if the French
men are made to understand plainly that they
must either give pp part of their privilege or
have their enterprise ruined. Not less mon
strous is the authority claimed by Napoleon's
government to exercise surveillance over de
spatches sent from this country. The rues
sages 'transmitted will, in all cases, refer
to Government business, to commercial.
matters, or to personal and domestic affairs.
With none of these can the - French Govern
ment have any business, and an attempt on its
part to interfere in any way with such de
spas—to suppress, alter, or merely to read
thern.,-will be denounced by our people, and
made the subjeei; of a protest from our Govern
ment. There in no probability that any dia
tt,lical conspiracy against Napoleon or his suc
cessors will ever be devised in this country;
and if such should be the cam, it is -hardly
likely that the particulars IY9uld be
sent across' the able. The possibility
of such an event alone could fur
nish, the slightest excuse for the espionage
now practised by the French government. In
time of ivar, of course each government might
reasonably claim the right to control the use
of the cable ; under any other conditions this
could not be permitted, and we are glad Mr.
Fish has declared so plainly in the beginning
t 11:,! sentiments of our people upon the subject.
We hope the appeal made by the Secretary of
State will be responded to instantly and cordi
ally by the nations to which it is addressed.
We believe that this will be the case ; for how
evemmuch the different governments may dis
agree as to the' character of the regulations
offered for their adoption, all will be likely to
recognize the necessity for immediate action of
some kind upon the subject.
CIIS,NGE OF TILE FRENCH MINISTRY.
All of Napoleon's Ministers have 'sent him
their resignations and he has accepted thern
He has also requested M. Emile 011ivier to
form a new and homegeneous cabinet, faith
fully representing the legislative majority, and
resolved to adhere, in letter and spirit, to the
Senatus Consilltum of Sept. Bth. By way of
refreshing the memories of readers concerning
this documwt, we reprint an abstract of it in
to-day's pap& It does not make any very im
vortant or substantial concessions. Still the
liberal papers , of Paris say that Hie calling of
011ivier to form a cabinet indicates that the
Emperor's personal government is at an end.,
At all events some account of the now her Of
the ministry will be interesting.
Emile 011ivier has long been one of the
most conspicuous members of the "opposition"
in the French Legislative Body. He is a son
of Demosthenes 011ivier, a radical Hepublican,
who Was expelled from France after the coup
d'qut, and has since lived in Italy.. Emile
was bOrn at Marseilles July 2d. 1825, and be
came a member of the Paris bar in 184'1. In
1857 be was elected as the opposition candi
date in the third district of the Seine. In 1863
he was elected for Paris, and was re-elected this
year. But his opposition has been much mo
derated, so that he has given a - good deal
of dissatisfaction to his former friends among
the'extreme RadicalS. The Emperor has of
fered honors and offices which he has accepted,
and for the last few months he has repeatedly
been consulted concerning public matters by
the bead of the nation. His appointment to
form a new ministry does not, therefore, cause
any surprise. While a member of the bar,
Emile 011ivier wrote several legal treatises which
are highly esteemed. It remains to :be seen
" - whether; as - a minister, - he to- the
early hopes of his liberal friends, or consent to
be a mere creature of his imperial master.
CUBAN CANARDS.
The friends of " ICooba" are damaging their
cause by the promulgation of the sensational
canards which are emitted, periodically, from
Washington, only to be exploded by the first
authentie despatches from that city. Yester
day, the New York 'Tribune and one or two
other papers came out with a flaming an
nouncement that the President had changed
his mind about, Cuba and would recognize the
belligerent rights of the insurgents in a tbw .
days. What interest was to, be promoted by
this Intention it is hard to say. The story
had no air of probability about, it;
and each fresh trick of this sort.
to create sympathy for the Cubans upon false
pretences, deprives their cause of some of the
sympathy hitherto felt for them. The manu
facture of sensations has grown almost to the

Arrest ern Forcer.
(By Newb Agencr•J
CINCINI 4 CATI,, Dec. 'x).—About two weeks
ago a spruce, dashing young man called at the
frank of Gilmore, Dunlap & Co.,and preeented
a check for e. 8.50, drawn by .lohn J. Rite . &
Co., St.. Louis, ou a St. Louis bank, and en
dorsed by A. I-L Lewis, of the o . ole and 31is
sissippi Railroad. The check wile, discounted
and forwarded for collection, but came back
with the unpleasant announcement that it
was a forgery. The detectives were placed
upon the track.and yesterday they arrested H.
E. Lucas, a telegraph. operator. He was re
cognized by W. H. Reeler, news agent on the
Ohio and Mississippi road. lie was taken to
the Third street station-house, where he ac
knowledged his guilt, but seemed quite in
different about the affair ; in fact, he seems to
take a sort .of pride in the exploit. When
arrested a number of blank checks on all the
prominent banks in this city were found
in his pocket. lie boasts that he has property
in St. Louis, and says his frond will not be
over tic.:5,000, and he care afford to give th - at and
slip away. Mr. Ltlea4 has a fine reputation as
a telegraph operator : and formerly occupied a
responsible position in the office of the West
ern Union Telegraph. Company, in this city.
From here he went to St. Lola, where he was
married, about six mouths ago. to a beautiful
/young lady. in October last he returned with
his wife to this city. and' they have reAded
sine that lime on Sloo street. After'his
t, the oilleeks visited his house. His wife
was quite overcome when she learned of her
husband's arrest, but surrendered the amount
of the check without a demurrer.
IFlre.—Eiramlstation of a Murderer.
(By flarmvn's Nv Wl4 . Azency.] '
YORT WAYNE, 111 d., Mtc. 28._About five
o'clock this morning flames were discovered
coming throng,h the roof of the Concordia
College, situated on the outskirts of the city.
The entire Fire Ikon/mut was soon ou the
ground, and succeeded iu saving the principal
portion of the !Mailings, though that portion
known as the old Lutheran Concordia College,
a three-story building, was entirely destroyed.
The students, many of whom occupied the
third floor, escaped without of life or
injury, but lost their money. clothing; books,
&c. The entire loss by tire will reach nearly
510,000, on which there is uo insurance. The
tire, it is thought, was caused by a defective
tine on the third floor. The successful work
ing of the tire Companies saved the main body"
of the buildings, otherwise the loss would •
have ibxceeded 1.110,000. •
The preliminary examination of Edwards,
the Wabash murderer, will be cot/eluded to
morrow, at which.. time he will be bound
over.

is to be the Ambassador of ;England, clothed
with authority to make the settlement upon'
such terms as may be agreetitiptin. It is' like

of our paying a large sti n t of Money therefor.

.I.oursVII.LE, Dec. LV.—The story of au im
mense amount, of diamond and gold having
been dug up on the bank of the canal near the
river bridge by two,unknown men, lately,
seems to be corroborated by many circuit),
'stances. About two weeks ago the pollee
received information that a notorious thief
and burglar was in the 'city, and idthough the
- nfost shreWii detectives' were after him, he .
managed to chide them, but they
made the place so warm: ler
him, he was compelled to leave the city Fri
day last. It seems 4 frail woman, with whom
he had been on intimate terms, failed to keep
the secret that before he left he deposited in
her care :i60,000, mostly in gold eoin. The de
scription given by one of the bridge men of the
min:l-looking man who assisted the old
doctor in the excavation for the treasure
-tallies exactly with that of this notorious
thief, who, it, is known, could not have come
honestly by such a large sum of money, and
who, mde.ss hard pressed by the officers,'
Would not have deposited it with a frail
woman. It is well known that the en
largement of the. canal . will necessitate
the excavation of that portion of the bank
where the"treasure is supposed to have been
- founds and this fact havin,g been widely pub
lished, donbtless determined the possessor of
the secret to return and make another attempt
to recover the treasure, and all the eircum, '
stances of the: case lead to the belief that the
attempt, was successful.

In view of the large amount of JANUARY
:INTEREST and DIVIDENDS soon to be
disbursed and seek new INVESTMENT, we
desire to call the attention of our customers to
the FIRST MORTGAGE Z PER CENT.
BONDS of the LAKE SUPERIOR AND
MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD . COMPANY,
one of the fpw securities we feel sate in recom
mending as coon.
The importance of the route connecting the
head of the Mississippi River navigation with,
the head of Lake Superior, and receiving the
trade of the five railroads centreing at St. Paul,
will insure to this read a large and profitable
trade. The Land Grant-1,632,000 acres—is in
itself an amply sufficient basis for the mort
gage (S-1,500,000), and all proceeds of land sales
are applied directly to cancellation of the
bonds.
The parties in interest embrace some of the
first railroad and financial men of the Country,
and Mr. Moorehead, of our firm, is one of the
Trustees of the mortgage.
The construction of the road is, progressing
'rapidly, and the whole line will, be completed
in time for the moving of, the crops of 1870.
We recommend these bonds as paying ,
much larger interest than Government &curl
ties, 'without the risk of a high premium. We
- have for gale 5300,000 at the original subscrip ,
tion price,,9s and accrued interest In currency
• (lenominatioikr . F:ao and 51,000 coupon). Pur
chasers this month have the advantage of the
gold coupon phyable at our office on January
I—the premium upon which is equal to nearly
per cent.; making the price lower than many
bonds of much less merit now offered to the
public. •
We receive in .payment Government and'
other securities at their market valne, and
January coupons at the current gold price of
the day.
