The author and the hero of the riots in the ,
lambs of Paris, on Sfolulay last, was Henri
Xecliefort, and The whole disturbance must be
,considered as having had an individual rather
,
than ayopular origin, ltocbefort, fora couple
of years, has made himself famous by lam
pooningthe Emperor and the imperial family,
and he bee derived fortune as well as fame
from the business. In accordance with the
past' policy of the. Emperor, be was silenced:
and obliged to quit the country. When the
'lluiireror entered upon a new and liberal policy,
Rocliefor t was generously suffered to return to
France, and to have a grind popular II - r , ,•.eption
in Faris. He, was allowed to be a candidate
for the Legislative Body from one of the most
turbulent and revolutionary'distrlcts of Paris,
and was elected. Ile took his seat as a
member of the Imperial Legislature, and
in so doing, took an. oath of fidelity to the
Empire. He immediately began a course of
systematic violation of that oath, and in this
consists his chief perfidy. The manly mo
ments of the Emperor, and his former policy'of
.absolute personal government, refused to accept
places in the executive or legislative depart
ments, and they suffered themselves to be
dubbed, irreconcilables." But Rochefort
look his oath as, deputy , with the deliberate
and infamous inte.ntion of violating it. So, in
the Chamber, and in the columns of his news
paper; be was continually vituperating the Em
peror and all the Bonapartes. The personal
•abuse of Prince Pierre, who was himself a Re
pnblican, and who had nothing to do
with the Government, led to the tragedy
of Auteuil, and Rochefort at once
' undertook to make political capital
out of the death of Victor Noir. The Legisla
tive body very properly decided to punish a
man who thus flagrantly violated his oath, and
it was in the execution of the. moderate pun
ishment decreed, that the opportunity was
chosen, by his particular friends and the most
&orderly of his constituents, to stir up the riots
of Belleville. Happily those riots have been
'suppressed, without bloodt3hed, and without
active interference from the military. I
It is quite evident that there was a con
spiracy to rescue Rochefort if he had been ar
rested at the time the vote was taken to punish
him. :He clamored for an arrest, but be was
allowed to go quietl,y away from the Chamber,
•and so all the plans failed. The moderation
of the ministers and the clever
ness of the police who discovered
this scheme, are both worthy of admiration.
Rochefort was deprived of a chance for a mild
form of martyrdom,.accompanied by a certain
sensational glory very much desired by vulgar
demagogues. It was then determined to make
the best of the r, opportunity when he should
actually be arrested, •and that occurred on
lionday. - For a few hours there seemed to be
danger of a serious popular outbreak in Paris;
but the people are not all Rocheforts; certainly
not all fools ,;• and the demonstration disap
peared, before the decided but humane meas
ures of the government, as suddenly as it bad
arisen. All this excitement, which was in
tended to throw France, and perhaps all Europe,
into eonvulsions, was about an irresponsible,
crack-brained and perjured demagogue, who
has never done a substantial act of benefit to
France, or even to the ignorant populace who
have been deluded into making of him a hero,
Glorifying Rochefort is about as rational a
business as glorifying George Francis Train
would be in the United States. The one is
•about as well fitted as the other, to lead a great
popular, reformatory, or revolutionary move
ment.
Detesting, as we do, all the past usurpation s
of Louis Napoleon, and , the general policy,of
absolutism, and even of liberal dynastle gov
ernment everywhere, - we cannot but rejoice
over the successive discomfitures of Rochefort
and 4 , bis followers in France. A wise,
well 7 cpnsidered movement, with a well
devised and practicable plan of popu
lar goVenunent in that country, would re
ceive
our heartiest sympathy. But there can
be no such movement with a perjured, fana
,tical, and unprincipled demagogue as a` leader.
The completest triumph Rochefort, could hope
•for would only bring bloodshed, convulsion
and,misery, to be succeeded , by an anarchy
worse than the worst of conceivable depotisms.
At present be Is the right man in the right
place—a perjured villain in- prison. If the 01-
livier Ministry continues to act as wisely and
moderately as it bas done during the brief
,month of its existence, the country- will be
pacified, and when Rochefort has served his
time he -will come out a very commonplace
and inglorious personage, who ought never to
have exc t ld a particle of interest among an
enlightened people.
ALLOrATILIC LEGISLATION
Senator Ilenszey has the most unfortunate
kick.in , bringing forward bills which have to
the taken away again. Moved by the demon
stration of Millerism, recently made in the
Reuse, be has naturally regarded it as immedi
.ately precedent to the Millennium, and has in
troduced a bill-for harmonizing the antagonisms
of the medical profession and the suppression
of , Quackery. it is to be followed by a bill
regulating the method of becoming ill and
dying, which, soon•as•it gets luto regular
operation,-will ,produee .a condition of peace
and ,order in rennsilvenia,neVer before known.
The old notions that one man it toindulge,the
fancy that he "Would not die in Spring-time,"
and another that Oct.ober is 4il objectionable
month for decease, and another, that be
i• Would not die at will be done away.
Doctors and undertalmrs are to think and
practice alike, and citizens of this ancient Com
monwealth are to live, and take medieineeiond
endure operations, and give up the ghost;"ab
rording to law.
The hill for introducing the Medical, X+
let:dein-is an admirable one. It is arranged in
the proportion of six' to ono ' for. Allopathy
against the world of other systems of Modica)
Beim*. There, is to be a Board of Examiners,
consisting of the vague number of six alto:
pathists and one homcepathlst, one electrician,
,one dry<earthist, one Thomsonian, one eclee-
one animal-magnetizer, ••one
and one of o.4W:other dieini and practice of

their diplomas, the sum often dollars each, to .
be paid for the State diploma. The examiners
shall all be required to believe In the Allopathic
of 'botany, reateria media', chemistry,
etc:, tint shall be examined in any theory and,
practice' they may , prefer. They "pays their.
money and they 'takes . their choice." They
musthe six-sevenths allopathic and one-sev
enthanything they like. The bill • appears to
exclude women from its beneficent offices.''
The applicants for the honors-and emoluments
of a State diploma are always referred to as ;
" he," from-which we infer. that the "She", is
not yet recognized in the Medical Milleniurn. •
'We confess that we like this bill. . Exeept
ing ,that . feature 'which, by implication,•ex
,
cludes.the sisters of medical science from prao
,
tics in . Penneylvania, it is fidl of 'pleasant
suggestions. There has been so much jealousy
and bickering among the various wings of the
medical world, that it is delightful to have
them reconciled by law. • We kook forward to
this Board of Examiners,, with bs homeo
pathic lamb lying down among its six allo
pathic wolves, with the brightest anticipations.
We see in it the foundation of a new, grand,
all-comprehensive school of medicine,, the
Pennsylvania system, before which all the
present 'conflicting practices will fade - away,
and a glorified eclectic quackery reign supreme
over the bodies and minds of our happy
people. •
It seems only reasonable that such con
ceited institutions as the University of Penn
sylvania, for example, should no longer be al_
lowed to decide whether- a man is, competent
to practice medicine or not. For' something
like a hundred and twenty years it .has been
indulging this notion, keeping up a faoulty Of
scientific men for no other purpose thin to in
struct young men4n.medicine, and to confer
medical degrees upon them, until its diplomas
pass as current as sterling gold in every corner
of Christendom. What has been the result of
indulging ple,Vniversity of Pennsylvania . and
kindred institutions in this way? Simply to
turn out upon the community a race of such
inferior men as, Rush, Gibson, Chapinan,
McClellan, Jackson, Horner, Physick, Hewson,
Hartshorne, Coie, Morton, Pepper, Norris,
Meigs, Morris, Carson and a host more of the
same sort. Senator I{entzey's bill stops all
this. His Board of Examiners, none of whom
ore to be teachers of medkine, - win revise the
decisions of these ancient schools, and . reverse
them, if they do not approve them:: Every
one can see the great advantage that
there Must be in the new system. Our medi_
cal colleges will swarm with young men
anxious to win, at the moderate cost of ten
collars, the honors of a State diploma. The
pleasant uncertainty that will attend the
diplomas of the University, or the Jefferson,
until the student has made his pilgrimage to
our Medical Mecca, and undergone his second
examination, will only add to the zest . with
which he will seek the advantage of the Penn
sylvania schools. True, be can practice any
where out of Pennsylvania on the mere diploma
of the University of Pennsylvania, as all his
fathers did ; but then the world will look with
admiration and envy upon Our more favored
State where our . doctors will all have six
sevenths of their minds modeled upon. a uni
form allopathic system, and where none shall
be called masters of medicine, until a Board,
from which medical teachers are excluded by
law, has. pronounced them—at ten dollars
apiece,—competent•thereunto
THE PROPOSED HORROR WAR,
There are some subjects that -will bear ham
meriug at. The Mormon question in its new
aspect is one of them. The magnitude of the
interests involved hi its settlement are so great,
and the probable consequences of rash action
• on the part of Congress are so serious, that it
is the duty of the press to express popular senti
ment in the matter clearly' and boldly. Our
Washington correspondent inforths us, that
Cullom's bill for the abolition and punislunent
of polygamy in Utah will be reported to' the
House of Representatives by the 'Committee
this week, and then the question of - the policy
`of such a measure will come up for discussion.
We entreat the cooler and wiser 'members of
Congress to lay aside all prejudice, all feeling
of disgust with the practices of Mormon
ism, all jealousy of Brigham Young's
absolute' power, and consider whether
violent action against polygamy will
not precipitate . us into a bloody and
costly war which we cannot afford, and which
will prove an ineffectual remedy for the evil to
to which it is applied. There can be no doubt
whatever that the mass of the Mormon people'
honestly believe in the Divine appointment
of their institutions, and would fight for their
defence with the fury and desperation Which
have always distinguished religious fanatics.
Monstrous as this evil is, it IS not • so offensive
and demoralizing as to threaten 'to corrupt
the`nation: On the Contrary, it is so
obnoxious to the people at large that its very
vileness will always 'hinder its • growth, and,
indeed, make its ultimate decay certain.
whole history of religious persecution proves
that fanaticism feeds upon the violence of its
•enemies: The blood of the martyrs, is
the seed of the church, whether - it be
.one sect or another. An assault` upon
Mormonism will unite its factions, inspire 10
zealots with J new faith, raise up conntleSs
friends for the Cause; and. covet its revolting
creed and practices •with such A glamour of
self-sacrifice and heroiC devotio that. multi
ttides will forget their disgust - in admiring the
• endUrance and pitying the Suffering of the
pemented saints. We believe that the passage
of the Culloin bill by Congress will give a new
lease of life to Mormonism. It will . be the
surest method that could be adopted for se
curing the, salvation of the very thing it is in
tended to destroy. A man's religious faith
cannot he kicked out of him. Proselytes wore
never made with powder and' ball; and there
is not on,! record an account 'of the con
version to pure relit ion of a whole community
tbioitoi the' instrumentality of a grand army,
whose arguments, are cannon and musketry.
We (fustian the propriety of the overthrcniof

and inevitable result of non-interference on
the part of the government. Such a policy

TIME PIUDLIC BUILDINGS. • ,
Mile we regard it as a most, unnecessary
and objectionable policy to mix up such Agnes
tion as that of the public buildings of Philadel
phia among the excitements and issues of a
general election, there can be very little doubt
that such an appeal to the people •Would'result
in' sustaining the past action of COlinelll3 in
selecting Independence Square ter the purpose.
The opponents of the Building Commission
have carried their factious warfare to Harris
burg, and mixed up this local question in the
legislative muddle into which Philadelphia's
affairs are already plunged. While one bill
proposes a reference of the location to a popu
lar election, another, presented by Mr. Davis,
arbitrarily prohibits the .use of Independence
Square, on account of " the sanctity" of that
piece of ground.
Yielding to none in our reverence for the
really sacred things of Revolutionary times,
we dO not hesitate to pronounce this pretended
reverence for the ground proposed to be covered
by the Public Buildings as the most shallow
or ignorant nonsense. There is nothing
whateVer connected with the history of Inde
pendence Square which makes it any more
holy ground than Penn Square or Fairmount ,
Park. No use was ever made of it that
sanctified it. No care is taken of it
that can possibly suggest that
the city authorities or the people
have ever considered it sacred. In winter it is
a muddy common; in summer, a bare, un
sightly thoroughfare. It was not even con
sidered. "sacred" enough to prevent the erec- •
tion upon it of that miracle of architectural
ugliness, the new Court House; and it is an
affront to the common-sense of the , people, as
well as %perversion of history, to talk about
Independence Square. as " sacred ground." In
dependence Hall is a sacred spot; and yet none
of these reverent advocates of Penn Square
object to the pie-and-coffee stand in the cen
tral hall, or to the use of its apartments for
courts and Council chambe,rs. Iflndependenee
Hall itself is not desecrated by the uses to
which it ' is now put, how is it possible that In
dependence Square is to be profaned by taking
these very courts and Council chambers out of
the Hall,' and placing them at the opposite end
of the block '?
•
There is but one strong argument in favor of
Penn SqUare.- To put up the disjointed public
buildings there, will involve a far larger job, as
the cost to the city would be very greatly in
creased by the erection
,of four buildings in
stead of one.' And it would . also enhance. the
value of certain priiite properties in the neigh
boihood of Penn Square. This we confess,
a strong argument ; but we doubt if the people,
can be made to see it in such a favorable light
as to induce them to vote for Op job, If each
voter could be given 'a finger it might be
made popular; but larger as,the job le,lt would
make such small dividends; if so distribrited, as
to be scarcely worth the.trouble;
.
The Congressional' Committee:. on Naval
Affairs seem disposed to treat the staff officers
of the navy in accordance withlhe demands of
justice and the wishes of the larger portion of
the people. The exact character Of the bill to
be reported has not been determined definitely
yet; but we • have an< assurance that the Com
mittee have determined, finally, to give to the
staff officers positive rank; - instead - , of compell
ing filth to pear a certain relative rank assimi
lated to and graduated by the grades of the
line. This is well enough as far. as it goes ;
and we hope it, is but the first step towards
such a reorganization of the staff as wilt satisfy
the gentlemen belonging to it,aud will make the
different branches of the service, included under
that general term, so `attractive that the best
men in the medical and engineering professions
may be induced to enter the Navy. Under the
old system, it was hard for a man who desired
to preserve proper self-respect to retain a
surgeon's or engineer's c,omnaission, and the
result was that the ablest officers resigned
rapidly, and their places were not filled. 'ln
the four years just past fifty-three naval sur
geons have resigned from a corps of only two
hundred, and at • this very• moment, there are
not enough physicians in the Navy properly to
officer the ships and hospitals. This faCt illus
trates the dissatisfaction that exists. Congreis
owes it to the country ,to disregard entirely
the absurd aristocratic pretensions of the line
officers, and by giving just and proper rank to
surgeons, engineers and paymasters, to
secure the best men • for ,these depart
rnents. , Graduation at the Annapolis Academy
does not give a man a patent of nobility. Me
dleal,men, as a class, are quite is' respecta.ble
as line officers in the navy ; and it la , true that
successful practice of medicine reqUires as much
ability as is required for proper manage
ment of a ship. Secretary Robeson's bill pro
poses to make the highest staff grade to rank
with commodore of the line ; and' it is thought
that this will be satisfactory to theofficers lin
, -
n3ediatelY interested. XI/ Senitor Spencer's
bill the highest staff rank was of, the, grade of
Rear-Admiral, but we have no' doubt that sur
geons, engineers and paymasters alike will be
willing to forego the chances of reaching this
honor, if' they'ean secure in'lower grades just
recognition of their rights and the treatment, tO
which as gentlemen they are entitled.

put on trial, charged with causing the death
of • Careline L. Oldfield, a.ebildfonr.years of
,age, on ,the 4tle of ..Pecember. The technical
charge preferred against the defendant is
voluntau manslaughter. tho day in ques
tion the defendant wee at Frapliford, in the
grocery store of Charles Stackbouse r en
,ileavoring to sell burning fluid. He claimed
that.the article was, homexplosive, and under
took to demonStrate this by pouring the fluid
into a lighted lamp. The fluid immediately
ignited, and thitimpnral can exploded, and
the child, Caroline •Oldfleld, being• near It,
was so seriously burned that she died in a• few
hours, after receiving the injuries . In pre
senting the cane to thejury, Assistant District-
Attorney Liwight said that the question to:be
determined was, whether the defendant acted
carelesely% There was no allegation that lie
, acted maliciously,, but if he was careless in the
use of the fluid, he was responslifie for the
death, of the child. • „
Mr:Stackliqnse testified to the visit by Golf
to his store with the fluid, and his offer to
prove that it was non-explosive; be had a
pand coal Oil eau with him; the can con
taining a half gallon; he sat the lamp. on the
counter ] and ;tookthe , chimney , off and thou
.lighted it; after unscrewing the, top, and lift
ing it, sat fire the wick, underneath; the
flame ran along.a part of the wick and inside
the top oftbe lamp; be then screwed the top
down and the flows was extinguished ; be re
peated the operation until he, took the wick
out of the lamp and placed it on the counter ;
at this time the fluid on the metal rim of the
lamp was in flames, and the defendant took
the can to pour fluid into the ;lamp, and as he
tipped the can the explosion, took place; the
child was at this time within a foot oftthe de
fendant, and the flames coteroueicated to, her,
clothing; coats and carpets were used to, en
velop lies-person and thus extinguish the fire;
it appeared that the, fluid, through the force
of the explosion, bad gone through her cloth
ing to the skin; and her scalp was burned off,
and the skin of her body, down to the waist,
was , burned off, awl the arms, ba.nils, legs and

To-day tranquillity is fully restored,'and the

for the present.
It Is now known that'duting the recent riots
none of the barricaders were killed, and
but few serion ly injured, as they
left their positions as soon as the police
appeared in force. On no occasion
did the troops use their firearms. Many per

[bridal Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb.lQ.—The Governor's
veto of the Metropolitan Police bill sets forth
that the title of the bill is not in conformity
d•ith` the - Ctonfititntion, - beeitnee it contains
'more than one- - subject. -The bill really
provides for - •the - election of five
Police Commissioners, and yet this idea is
neither expressed nor remotely. indicated by
the title. Another objection to'the hill is that
the whole sixteen pages are jumbled together
into one section. This is unusual and lin-
proper. .There is no reason for the departure
from the ordinary rule of having the bill ar
ranged in sections.
• The Governor is folly persuaded that many
of the present police are ineffective, and not
such as the good order of the city demand ;
brit while this is true, he more than
doubts of th 3 wisdom • of the pro
poSed r 4 inedy,, which contemplates an
entire revolution. The constitutional
authority of the Legislature, at a time of pro
fonnd peade, to• create. such a power as the
Metropolitan„l'olice Bill contemplates, to
.operate over the whole State, is a question of
great magnitude, involving tho inherent
rights and -principles of , a Republican
G,overninent. The bill is fraught with
momentous consequences to the citizens
of Philadelphia and of the Mate';
; WA the
position that, ptivre.r can be taken away from
so large a portion of the 'people without. their
consent, for a period of years, and lodged in
the bands of six paMons. is 'extrabrdinary:
and in violation• of the • spirit of the first and

respect, the most perfect surrender , Of the
powent,,' of the, many to the , few tbat, , the
Go:0;71er has ever seen. Such powers
are not exercised by the Automat
of 'nimble. City Cotineils s eem to be com
tletely ignored, anti the people truest be 'taxed

paying the fifty t,hensandAellars to': get the

The police are also to be put on a war• foot
ing, no one being admitted over forty-live
yeore of , age. ,Thus able-bodied^, experienced
an Competent` officers are, to be excluded,
merely on acconnt of age. This is perhaps.the
first time in our State 'history that competent
men who have served their country faithfully
inher armies are to be proscribed and •• ostra
cised. This is a monstrous injustice.
The Governor says that the members from
differenfparts of the State who supported this
bill knew that' their constituents would' not
submit to such exerelso'of absolute taxation
, tpon theineelves for a' single moment. It is
thiti kind of legislation that creates discon
tent, tinder the pretence of securing peace. It
arouses in the bosom of every • man who
knows his rights the most determined opposi-
Mop. No republican goyernment can exist
under unequal laws.
It ts anti-Republican in form, and not De
mocratic in principle, for a State to perpetuate
its power by the passage of unequal and un
just laws towards the minority.
For these and other reasons he cannot ap
prove the bill, nor do anything to.take from
the people any portion of their inherent rights.
The election of every local officer with execu
tive duties should be submitted to a popular
vote, and there is no reason why Philadelphia
should be deprived of the right of pheosing by
her own vote those who shall constitute Com
missioners of Police ' as well as 'those who
shall be Mayor, Councilmen and members of
the Legislature.
It is an elementary axiom that free govern
ment should have some responsible head.
Heretofore the Mayor of, Philadelphia occu
pied this position of trust, and the people had
a right to look to him. If he has failed to
meet their expectations, theyy, have their
remedy at the ballot-box, and let them have
this ,again at the first opportunity. It will
not improve the • existing condition
of things to divide this responsibility among
six Commissioners, of whom the Mayor
would be but one, To whom 'would they be
responsible? Would it be to the Legislature,
winch changes annually ? Not to the people,
for they did not elect them. Divided respon-,
sibility in a Government is a political heresy.
What kind of an army would it be , with
six commanding officers of equal rank? And
what good can be expected of a poliee_organi
zation governed by six equal and irresponsible
Commissioners? If the people of Philadel
phia desire a police bill, let the Commissioners
be of their own choosing. Let them' be of the
people, for the people, and by thedieople.

to, 'Mr. Wood said he would call
for it regtdar order, and prevent the intro
ductiOn of bi/ls , and re.solutions, the
regular order being a bill in relation to im
prisoned American citizens. It was taken up,
Mr. Wood advocating its passage, ana attack

In the 'Senate a petition was presented from

The opponents of the passage of the bill es

the prospect of its passage by Congress, and
are working energetically to defeat the
measure. Wm. Orton, President of the Wets

to appear before the Senate postal Committee
and be beard in'opposition to placing the tel

to the Senate this afternoon by Senator Trum
bull, from the Judiciary Committee, with a
recommendatien' to strike out all after the

tilon declaring the State entitled to
representation. Mr. Trumbull, in presenting
the. report, made an earnest appeal to the
Senate to admit the State at once, without
imposing conditions,as in the case of Virginia.
Senator Edmunds replied, taking grounds
against the report of the Committee and ad
vocating the admiSsion of the State only on
the same terms as other reconstructed States.
Mr. Norton followed with the Democratic
argument that the Senate had no right to
keep Senators from any State out of Congress.
The debate ;will probably occupy all day, as
Senators Sumner, Drake, 31orton and others
desire to Speak on the question. The prospect
is that the Senate will•not adopt the report of

principles of the New Te.starnent.9
Mr. Craig r of Lawrence, iudd ,that the
amendment was intended to make --a
~orernment administer Christianity. It Was
the sole duty of such government to regulate
