TIIE PRINCE BONAPARTE EXCITEMENT.
Mitts, Tuesday, Jan. 25th, 1870.--Matters
Are calming down again wonderfully after the
'late excitement, and I feel half disposed to
predict that even the ill-omened incident at
Auteuil; even the Pr osetutiofi itself cf—ltodhc
fort and its, result, will end by proving favor:,-
tile to the new order of things and to the new
Ministers, rather than the contrary. Nobody
denies that the Ministry, and especially its
leader, M. 011ivier, have shown great nerve
and firmness in meeting the extraordinary in
crease of difficulties which those events throw
upon their path just at the very moment of
their entrance into office. And they have
shown this firmness without, fortunately,
giving rise to any doubts as to the sincerity of
their liberal principles, or creating any sus
picion of reactionary tendencies on their part.
It is the attitude of the Government, and the
consequent confidence of the public in the
sincerity and honesty of its intentions,
which have so completely disarmed and ren
dered impotent its worst enemies.
ROCREFORT% TRIAL
Thus you will be surprised to learn not only'
with low much tranquility; blit with how
much indifference on the side of the people,
the and condemnation of Rochefort have
been regarded. Those events took place just
three.days ago ; for, contrary to what I antici
pated, there was no postponement (in conse
quence of the defenda.ut not 'appearing, and
aboosing to allow judgment to go by default),
and the case, therefore,was heard and decided
at once. Well, this was, as I have said, just
three days 'ago; and would you believe•it?—
the :whole affair is, .at the moment
I now write; as well nigh forgotten
as need be I I. believe you • might take up al
most every newspaper published this morn- . .
ling in Paris, and, barring of course the Mai.-
aillaitm, you would hardly find the subject so
so much as once mentioned or even alluded to.
No one seems any longer either - to think or
speak of, or even to care about it. M. Roche
fort, instead'of looking like a martyr under his
terrible sentence• of six months' imprison
nietit antra' few Thousand francs fine,•looks'
very much more like a Mall who has been put
into the pillory to be pelted and laughed at
for the commilsionof some dirty offence. That
is exactly his position. From being regarded
ag a buffoon, he is now looked upon, even by
many of his own clique, as a poltroon and a
sneak; and they say openly of, him that he took
deuced good care not to go near Prince Pierre
14apoleon Bonaparte himself, or to put his own
bones in jeopardy. In fact, Itochefort is now
at loggerheads with Most of his former col
leagues and partisans, and with many
even of the previous writers in his
neWspaper, WhO . have now deserted,
and do nothing but abuse him.
He is at daggers drawn with the Ileceil, whoSe
principal editor, M. Vermonel, he has accused
of being a secret agent of the police; and the
two "patriots" are now engaged in abusing
each other like pickpockets in theii respective
journals. M. Vormonel insists upon each
selecting a jury of honor to "sit upon their
characters"—an operation which I very much
&sat the ability of either party to sustain
without being respectively the worse for it!
1 confess that all this affords me a good
deal of malicious satisfaction. For it is really
too had, at a moment when the country has
shaken off its'long thraldom and is once more
entering upon the possession of those public
liberties which have always, unfortunately,
• been a source of great peril to a people like
The French—it is too bad, I say, to haye this
peril increased and those liberties further
compromised and endangered by such a
"miserable" as this Rochefort. Moreover, one
feels angry with him Decaose he disgraces the
word " Republic" by having it constantly in
his • month. Republic, indeed Why he
is not fit to be at the head of a'
Republic of monkeys, much less of men.
There are no greater enemies or impediments
in -Europe to the establishment of free institu
tions on the .American standard than such
inert as he ; and if Europe is ever to be educated
up to that standard, it will not be by such
political charlatans as Rochefort, who, if you
were 'to ask him the first principle of the
American Constitution, would not be able to
tell you.
FREE TRADE WITH E.I4CLA_III
- A long-winded debate on free trade and
protection, in the, Chamber, has proved, at
least, a good diversion •to more irritating
political topics. Id. Jules Simon, and M. Thiers
bare each delivered orations,or,rather,l should
call them essays or treatises, upon the two op- .
visite sides of the question, accompanied each
by an array of figures and assertions leading
to precisely contrary conclusions, which most,
I think, have pretty well bamboozled their
bearers. I cannot pretend tantus nomponere
lilts, nor to decide which is most right in a
French point of view. Of course the free
traders-are very angry with Anierican tariffs:
and, of course, also, the Protectionists invoke
American example in this respect, as it is
Usual now to do in France on almost
every other point as well. Indeed, it'
the Protectionists should carry the day, they
will owe their success more to the influence of
.American example than to any other cause.
But I hardly think they will. For the Protec
tionist party in France, though undoubtedly
composed of very strong classes; is still com
posed only of classes and class interests;
while the- nation, as a body, is inclined to
Oink itself benefited, on the whole, by the
recent change of system.. Also, the class in
tereStm, if they may be called so, which are
ranged on the side of lite trade, are Verylarge.
Thus the agricultural interest, whiCh is
so large as to be a "national"
rather than a" class " interest, is certainly in
favor of free trade, and its proportions in the
country are enormous when we consider it as
including the vinicole interest as well as all
those other interests usually ' included under
the general name of agriculture.. Thus M.
jobnston, the well-known wine merchant
and wine-grower or Bordeaux, produced a
great effect the other day in the Chamber,
when, in the course of his powerful speech,
,he declared that the agricultural interest was
decidedly in favor of free trade, and stated at
the Fame lime, without contradiction, that the
•' elan " for which ho t poke gave employment
to 19,500,060 hands, or more than ona half of
the entire population, and represented an an-
trial production of the value; of fifteen thou
sand millions. It under the influence of
ouch a pressure akl this, I think,that a Chamber
sou largely elected by the rural (118triets m that
i"`
of irraneo, is pretty' sure to maintain the exist
ing principles of commercial legislation.
STRIKES
There haebeen a strike among the mining
and other population" of the great^ Crenzot
ironwOricstand an editor of the Marseillaimivas
sent down there to.endeavor to do as much
Mischief as po'Ssiblo. But M. Schneider, the
Direetor, who is also President of the Cham
ber, is a popular man among his work-people,
and seems already to have set matters, right
again.
TUE AGE OF GEORGE 11
We refer again to Mrs. • Oliphant's graphic
sketches for the following tableau of the age of
Pope and Chesterfield:
It is difficult, either from the bare facts. of
history or from disjointed scenes in it, to arrive
at,,any,cleat.idea of tim . generalState of feeling
'and thought at any special period/ It`is only,
indeed, within recent days, that modern his
tory has troubled itself with any endeavor to
realize the spiritual fashion and the wont of
the age it painted. So many things happened
—so ninny battles were fought—so many
kings reigned,—its audience asked no more.
The reigns of the first Georges were occupied
with a struggle to establish their dynasty ; to
set— the constitutional government of the
country on sure foundations ; to settle a great
many questions on the Continent, with which
Englandhad not very much to do. Such is
the record; and a very bare record it is, not
withstanding the depths of individual interest
that are contained underneath. But, fortu•
nately, the public mind has now taken to a
certain curiosity about how things came
about; and there are few subjects which could
more call for such a preliminary inquiry than
the one on which we are about to enter. Sueh
algure as John Wesley does not arise in a
country without urgent need, or without cir
cumstances that account for most-of the angles
in it. To consider the apparition by itself,
without considering these, is to lose half its
'significance, as well as to judge unjustly, in all
probability, of- the chief personage of the nar-,
rative—a Man hoTriSingyaguely out of society,'
without any call - or necessity, but tragically
demanded by a world ready to perish; and
born out, of the very hopelessness of its needs.
The sketches which have preceded this,
though attempting no analysis or, even descrip
tion of the period, must have jailed altogether
of their end if they have not indicated au age
singulary devoid not only- af . religion, but of all
spirituality of mind, or reference to things un
seen. The noble/ natural qualities of
Queen • Caroline,^ and her high devotion
to the view, of duty, -of which her
mind was /most capable—the patriotism
(such . as it was) of Walpolethe amazing
paternal love of Chesterfield—are all as inde
pendent of any religious motive or meaning as
if -those princely personages had been as
heathen in name as.in. reality. „The wonderful_
wifely support and countenance which Caroline
steadfastly gave, in spite of all the-repugoance
of nature, to her faithless and often contempti
ble husband, gave at the same time an un-.
seemly countenance to vice. Walpole .served
his country and the devil together, and laughed
at the very idea of goodness.. Chesterfield, in
devotion to one of the most blessed of natural
pieties, did not blush to encourage his son . in
shameless wickedness. Pope babbled loudly
of the vice for which his weak frame incapaci
tated him,. and . held his hereditary faith fore
honor's sake, without the slightest appearance
or pretence of any spiritual attachment to it.
They bad some pagan virtues amid their per
petual flutter of talk and dissipation: one was a
good son, another a good father, a, third a
most loyal and tender wife ; and yet, take
them either together or apart, it is clear
as daylight that thought of God, or even of
religion, was not in them. They were not
impious except 'by moments ; but they were
godless, earthly, worldly, without conscious
ness or anything more in heaven-or earth than
was dreamed of -in their philosophy. It was
one of the nioments in which the world had
hillen out of thought of God. Other ages may
have been as wicked, but we doubt whether
any age had learned so entirely to forget its
Connection with higher things, or the fact that
a soul which did not die—an immortal being
akin to other. spheres—was within its clay.
The good men were inoperative, the bad men
were dauntless; the vast crowd between the
two, which forms the bulk of humanity, felt no
stimulus towards: religion, and drowsed in
comfortable content. , It was the age when
the chaplain married my lady's maid, and
ate - at the second - table . ; and - -would even
lend a hand to carry my lord to bed at
night, after be had dropped under the table,
and turn a deaf ear to the blasphemy with
which his speech was adorned. It was the
age when delicate young women, of the
best blood and best manners in the land,
talked -with a coarseness which editors of
the nineteenth century can represent only
by asterisks; and in which the most polished
and dainty verse, Pope's most melodious, cor
rectest couplets, were interspersed with lines
which would damn forever and ever any poet-
aster.- Personal satire—poor instrument Of
vengeance which stings without wounding—
had such sway as it has never bad before in
England ; but that sense of public honor which
prevents open outrage upon decency w•is not
in existence. The public liked the wicked
story, and liked the scourge that came after;
and laughed, not in its sleeve, but, loudly, at
blasphemy and indecency and profanity. Even .1
the, sentiment of cleanness, purity and honor,
was lost to the generation. Its soul was good
for n'othing but to point an oath. The name
of God was still Used in public documents as
giving victories and confounding enemies and
suchlike; and in private very freely, as the
most round syllable to clinch the perpetual
curse; bin was of no more spiritual signifi
cance than the name of 'George or James, and
not half. so math external weight. Such was
the ate; a period of confused fighting, here for
Maria Theresa, there thr Charles XII., again
for the fallen, ever-falling Stuarts; with no
principle in the strife, and little good coming
out of it to any man or kingdom, except per
haps in the end the Prussian; and, so far as
England was concerned, a gradual weaning of
the popular mind from any belief or• hope in
excellence, or power of contrasting the good
with the evil. So long as the Excise bills were
held aloof, and tranquillity preserVed, what did
it matter whether light or darkness was upper
most? indeed, was not darkness the rule,
and light, if not painful, at least indifferent, to
the eye,—not a matter to make any fuss about ?
(the of the most hopeless uneXalted ages that
ever benumbed the faculties of man.
"The Struggle in Ferrara."
Our readers, some of them, are enjoying in
Lippincott's Sunday _Magazine the agreeable
historical story with the above title. An Eng' ,
lish correspondent communicates the follow
ing tales about the story, and about the Gilberts,
one of whom, the father, writes the history :
Mr. W. I. Gilbert, an effective writer of the
realist school, is publishing a story, piecemeal,
called "The Struggle in Ferrara," the heroine
of which is Renee, who was Duchess of Perrar
in 1636, To the majority of his readers',. Mr.
Gilbert seems to be trusting to imaginatiOn,
but he has as a matter of fact closely studied
the period and is reproducing many historical
Incidents. Renee was a remarkable woman,
who sympathized with the Reformation and
threw her shield as far as she was able over the
persecuted reformers. Only child of Louis
Xli.; she would have been Queen of France
had it not been for the Salle law. Cheated of
bidng a Queen because;as she said, she had
not a beard on her chin, she' had nearly be
coire an empress, the wife of Charles V., but

Ferrara had .no such favor for the reformers as
the Duchess had,—and to this difference some
of the stirring chapters of Mr. Gilbert's his
torical romance relate. Mr.. Gilbert's son it is
who boasts of the authorship of the liurleique
in blank verse of Tennyson's "Princess," now
being pei formed at one of the London theatres.

Gilbertjnnior, diSplays nostiperhuous nervous
ness. "To my thinking," he says, "the per
petual and monotonous jingle of rhypied veyse_
continued for an hour and a half or tw6 . ll6lll'S
is an impertinence, sanctioned indeed by long
usage, but having no necessary eonnectiou
with the clasS of drama to which it Is ex
clusively applied." This refleCtion on the
productions of. Messrs. Byron, Brough and
Burnam] suggests another application of the
word "impertinence." Other passages in Mr.
Gilbert's statement betray similar complacency.
However, where there is wit, as in his case,
a little fussiness is forgiven.

. to A.dmitall'arragut ; •
NAVY DEPARTMENT, Feb: 7, 1870.—Ad-
Pam/ : I inclose you a-copy of a letter that I
have written to the naval committees in rela
tion to their organization of the navy. I aLsO
inclose a copy of a bill which I consider will
meet the wants of the service. There are some
co»fiicting statements in regard to your
opinion, and should , be gratified to know
what are really the views of ,tbe-se.nlor officer
of the navy. Will you, therefore, be kind
enough to examine the bill and accompanying
letter and give inc your views on them and the
subjects therein referred to as soon as you con
veniently can?
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
E RonEsox,
Secretary of the Navy.
To Admiral D. G. Farragtd, United States
Navy. •
Admiral Farragin's reply is as follows:
Youu. Feb. 11, 1570.—Sir: I have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt, through
Commander Shirk, of your communication of
the 7th inst. ' int:losing a.topy of bill No. 970,
entitled "A bill for the reorganization of the
Navy of the United States," and also a copy of
your letter to the Naval Committee in relation
to the same. Agreeably to your request I have
read with great care the several sections of this
bill, and I ant happy to say that so far as its
general features are concerned it meets, with
bet few exceptions, with my cordial concur
rence. To demonstrate more clearly the few
points upon which I have differed slightly with
the honorable Secretary, I beg leave to submit
herewith my opinions iu detail. I regret that
the honorable Secretary should have discarded
the original idea of a board of survey, which,
in my opinion should be designated
the Board of Admiralty, and be confined
entirely to that grade, with the exception, of
course, of the Secretary. I do not wish to be
understood as objecting to the name of survey,
but simply that I consider that of admiralty
more appropriate. The Admiral of the Navy,
holdinr , by law the same relative position as
General of the Army, should be president of
this naval board, and in the event of his dis
ability or absence, the Vice Admiral should
assume the duties of president of said board;
and, in the absence of the Secretary of the
Navy, the senior member of the board should
act as Secretery of the Navy pro tern. I may
be accused of self-interest in suggesting the
organization of such a board; yet I am
lirm in my conviction that it would tend to
the general good of the service. In sectidn
three I would respectfully suggest the in
sertion of the words, " or as often as may be
deemed expedient by the Secretary of the
Navy." In reference to the re-organization of
the medical corps, as provided for in section
seven, 1 beg leave to state that I had always
fixed in my Own mind upon the necessity of
appointing ten medical directors, with the as
similated rank of captain, to be placed in charge
of hospitals and asylums ; but, as I have al
ways stated, I consider that the simple ques
tion of nuniber should be decided by the CdAr
ernmeiet, as it is supposed to know the require
mientS of the service. • The same observations
. ,
will apply with equal 'force to' the reorganiza
'lion of the Engineer Corps, provided for in sec
tion nine, wherein I have always considered
that there should be twenty engineers of the
flist class, with the assimilated rank of cOrn
mander, Instead of ten, as specified inthe' see-•
tiori referred to • I.' am opposed' to section
seventeen, from the fact that hi myopinion no'
Officer below the tirade - bf r 'eontmodorelsheuld,
fill the office of Chief of Bureau-of the' Navy
Department. But so, long aa — officers helow
that grade are appointed. to such imsitions,
coincide entirely with the. honorable Secretary
that the rank, pay, and :allowances, should forr
the time be equal to these of a commodore of
the line on sea duty. In reference to section
'nineteen, specifying • the position of 'executive,.
officers, !beg leave to observe to•the honors
ble Secretary that 1 have never 'entertained'
the least doubt as to their right to pre
cedence over all officers , attached to
ve,ssels, yards, stations; or establishments while'
in the discharge of their, duty as connected
with such vessel, yard, station, or establiSh- '
ment. This is after all but temporary authority;
as it terminates with his ditties, and if any One
feels himself wronged he has the same right of
appeal to the commanding officer. But £l4 ex
'ecutive officers are the organs of communica
tion between the, commander and their com
mand, and are responsible for the good Condi
!tion of their vessels, and,ltifact; for i 3
rrt the absence of their superior officers, the
discipline of the service requires that
they should have entire control in the
manner specified in the clause re-
I ferred to. In such positions, as in many others,
it is not the simple exercise of authority
which often creates ill feeling, but the abuse of
it. With the aboVe few points of ditrerence I
beg leOve to repeat that the bill of the honorable
Secretory meets with My entire concurrence,
and appears to:be one which will be acceptable :
to all who 'desire the speedy restoration of
harmony to the service. In the beginning of
this contest I felt desirousito do justice to the
meths of such staff officers as had served in my
conunand, and whom I knew had 'been:6l'l4lY
exposed to the dangers incident to the profes
sion, and hence when Surgeon Palmer appealed
to me to know if I bad any objection to a
'certain bill which prodded for a higher grade
for the older officers, I readily answered in the
negative, saying that I thought that the older
'officers of the staff corps who , bad served
their country faithfully, shat•ing, all the prk-A-,
Lions of war equally with the line, had a natural
right to expect, promotion to a higher grade
in their respective corps. At that time I did
not deem it possihlet bat the feeling coati be
cOnie.so violent, and while my '
opinion then
circelated, simply advocated, a reward for
merit, at the same time placing atich officers at
shore stations so as to prevent contact with of
ficers Of the Hire of the same grade, I are glad
to find that all the boards and - the honorable
Secretary are now as ready to accord to them
this preferment as myself. During all this
time I have been prepared to express my opin
ion without prejudice Or partiality; but have
studiously avoided doing so until such time as
it was called for by authority. Very respect
fully, tour ohedientservant,

GONE To THEIR REwAnti.—The prisoners
sentenced to the :State Prison at Trenton, at
the recent term of the Camden county courts,
about twenty in all, have been taken to that
institution to serve out the term of their re
spective sentences. The three young men,
Knox, Gallagher and Olden, who were sen
tenced to the same prison for cutting hose, or
in lieu thereof to pay a fine of $250 and costs,
each, have raised the amount of their fines and
thus escaped the. Penitentiary. It will be a
warning to them as long as they live, and
ought to Impress their minifs with salutary
lessons.
CONO Ess oN Al. MATTI: us.—Thy: interests
of the First Congressional District of New
Jersey have been so ably and satisfactorily
represented in Congress by the Hain \William
Moore, present Representative, that a strong
and almost irresistible pressure is making upon
him to allow his name :o go before the Repub
lican convention nest fall for renomination.
His re-nomination would be only another
word for his re-election, for there is that sen
timent pervading Lie masses of the people in
Atlantic, Camden, Cumberland, Cape May,
Gloucester and Salem counties,
which will
leave no duty unperformed 'to do him that
honor. Bolias honored that sentiment, and
its advocates will honor him. lie does not
claim a re-nomination as his right; but the
citizens are so well satisfied with him that they
are determined to give him the choice for a
third time.
