XRAKVEAIIOTaG SEW PIRBISCIin|M Louis Napoleon opes Caesar, and he desires to have modern France resemble old Rome. So he calls a decree of his Senate a Senates Cmsultum, and a vote Of the French people a Plebiscitum, which is gallicized into & Plebis cite. The existing trouble in his government, just now, is about a new Scnaius-Gonsultum and a nevf Plebiscitum. When his new min istry was formed, three months or more ago, he made some gushing promises to his people, and ht now proposes to fulfil them. He proposes to have the Constitution of France amended, bat he insists on his own way of amend ing it. He proposes the amendment to the Senate; the Senate, obedient to his orders, puts it into the form of a Menatuo-Comultum, and the people are ex pected to adopt it by aPlebiscUum. The popu lar branch of the national legislature is not ex pected to have anything to do with adopting or rejecting this or any future constitutional amendment. Indeed it is the work of the Emperor from the beginning, and if the people do hot approve of it by their votes, it is to be regarded as a sign that they are opposed to re fcrm, and desire to remain under an absolute personal government. The constitution must remain unaltered and unamended. This seems to be the plai n English of the existing political difficulty m Paris. It is not that the promised reform is not a real one, bat the mode of making it is objectionable. If the scheme had originated with the people, or their representatives in the Legisla tive Body; if it had been carried there and in the Senate, and then approved by the Emperor, it would have been considered a splendid triumph of liberal principles. For the new Senatvs-Consultvm will change the charac ter of the Senate, and make it closely resem ble the English House of Lords. It gives the Legislative Body the exclusive right of origina ting laws for taxation, as iii the English Parlia ment and Our Congress and State Legislatures. It allows cities and towns to elect their own Mayors, instead of having them appointed by the Emperor,as heretofore. These undoubted y are great concessions; concessions that would have seemed impossible a year ago, or even in < September last, when the Emperor first as tonished his people and the world by his overtures to the liberal party of France. But the, fundamental fault remains in the new scheme of making the Emperor the only ■power to propose amendments to the Consti tution. Heretofore this power was confined to the Senate, which is a body made up of his creatures. But under the new order of things, when the Senate will be more of a popular body, it will not have the right to touch the Constitution, except under direction of the Emperor. While pretending to yield a great deal to the people, it still holds back from them the real essence of all popular freedom. It makes the supremacy of the head of the state more absolute than ever, and assumes for him what the Opinion Rationale describes as the' counterpart of the Papal Infallibility. The people and their representatives cannot ask for or propose any reforms. They must wait till the notion of a reform enters the head of the Emperor, and take it in the exact shape in which he pre scribes it, or do without it. When he gra ciously oilers it, the Senate must ratify it, and toen it must he submitted to a vote of the whole people. The opposition to the .Senates- Consultum seems to grow and' even to become virulent. It has driven one member of the Ollivier Min istry from his post, and made the rest seem very insecure. It has induced Ollivier to ask tor the adjournment of the Legislative Body antil after the Plebiscitum, which is to be voted on in the beginning of May; for the agi tation of the subject in the Chamber seems to be considered as endangering the peace of the country; and, as the Emperor baa his'mind fully made up, he does not wish his course to he made a subject of further wrangling. He thinks, and Ollivier thinks, or pretends to think, that the concessions proposed are great, and so (hey are, with the one qualification that the Emperor has the sole right to propose constitutional amendments. If the people,act ing under the advice of those who consider this intolerable, should reject the Plebiscitum , it will be taken as a proof that they do uot want any reform at all; that they reject the favors offered them in the Senate and Legisla tive Body ; that they refuse to elect their own local magistrates, and all the liberal offers made to them, and that they prefer to go back to the old system of the absolute personal govern ment of one man. The inference will not be a fair one, but it will be taken by the Emperor and his supporters. It would 'seem best that the Plebiscitum should be accepted bv the people of Faauce, on the simple principle ihat a half loaf is better than no bread. Suppose that they do not at once acquire the right of amending, or propos ing to amend, the Constitution; they gain many privileges which will so add to their power that alra future day they can demand and obtain the one great right that is now de nied them. A vote, by an overwhelming ma jority, in favor of the Emperor’s plan would in dicate such confidence in the sincerity of his recent promises, that he would be more than ever disposed to carry them out. On the other band, an unfavorable vote would make him lighten the reins that he has been disposed to relax, and assume once more all the authority of an absolute despot. .* Chief Justice Chase is out in a loving i letter to the colored people of Cincinnati, who me about to celebrate the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, i £t cannot, however, be very palatable to his admirers among the white men’s party, or the “ conservative” Democrats euch as were the rulers in tue now defunct in stitution at Ninth and Arch. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13,1870- IBiPUNO WHM A ritSIMOUN JliTißll. Wlien Councils,...after- a ,hard struggle, were induced to makean appropriation for the pur pose of securing proper musical instruction to' the children in the. public; schools, .wo hoped that the matter, )iad been settled for a time, and that an. opportunity would be given to ’Prof, Louis, to prove the worth of his system. But the Board of School Control yesterday in terfered • again in a very ungracious manner, and after passing a resolution which virtually dismisses Prof. Louis and Ids assistants, ap pointed a committee of five to prepare another plan for musical instruction in the. schools. The Boardi by this action, inflicts injury, not only upon. Prof. Louis, bint upon the schools. It appointed this man to the position, induced Jiirn to enter into this business and compelled him to devote to the perfection pf a plan many months of arduous, earnest labor. When he had begun the work, but before h e had had any opportunity of demonstrating the excellence of his method, the BOard ruth lessly interfered and put an end to his opera tions. If, as is proposed, another plan of teach iDg is adopted, it is certain that it will have to be carried into effect under the direction of a superintendent, unless, indeed, the Board, in its folly, intends to trust it hap-hazard to irrespon sible and unfit teachers, selected by the Sec tional Boards. And, if another superinten dent is desired, who will accept the position ? Certainly no musician who has a particle of self-respect, or who is at all competent to do the work properly, will give up his private business and assume this office with the fate of Prof. Louis staring him in the face; with the knowledge that the next spasm of spite or jealousy in the Board of Control may insure his dismissal, and that, too, with out a chance having been given him to prove his capability for the position. ■ Doubtless men can he found who will undertake the duties; but they will either be teachers who have not succeeded in private life because of their igno rance, or else oiiC of the many guerilla pro fessors whose loose and unsystematic opera tions in the schools in the past have deserved only ridicule and contempt. It will be better to have no musical instruction at all than to entrust any system, good or bad, to such hands. As far as it has been applied,the plan of Prof. Louis has proved itself to be an excellent one. In all of the schools in which the principals gave it their hearty support aud approval, the, children have learned rapidly, and in a short time would have mastered the rudiments of, the difficult science; where the system has' failed utterly, as it has in a few cases, even though it has hardly liad a trial, the responsi bility rests with the school teachers who have displayed hitter animosity to Prof. Louis, at the bidding of the Sectional Boards, the rivals of the Superintendent, or of their friends in the Board of Control. If we are to have mnsic taught in the schools, this kind of petty opposi tion must cease. There must be a single system, and. it must be directed and carried into operation by one responsible person, who must himself be a competent musician. Any plan of operations which divides the authority of the direction will result in failure as, disastrous as would an attempt to conduct a inilitaiy campaign with an army without a commanding head. The Board of Control acknowledged this fact when it chose Prof. Louis as the Superin tendent. Having given him the office,/he should have been kept in it until cicncy was made manifest. If this tticurred, then another mail should have been substitu ted for him. As it is, the Board not only kick him out, but they kick his system to pieces, overthrow the fabric he has built, and propose to begin agaiu in another manner from the foundation. We protest against this folly, not in the interest of Prof. Louis, bntin the interest of the schools, which are the victims of this trifling and childish conduct, and which are without that instruction in music which is given in the public schools in every other large city in the Northern States. We do not know what the report of the committee of five will be; bat it ought to consist of an endorsement of Prof. Louis’ system, and the Board ought to accept it, and, after turning a deaf ear to the slanders and insinuations of other aspirants to the Superintendency, take measures to compel the Sectional Boards and the school teachers to give to this system their support, and to permit its application to the children. Although an immense number of bills were passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature during the late session, only four of these were wliat are known as “.general laws. ” Of these none were important except two relating to the State Treasury. One of these requires the State Treasurer to give bond in half a million of dol lars, with ten sureties, raises his salary to five thousand dollars per annum, and prescribes the manner in which his accounts shall here after be kept. The other bill was prepared Uy the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. The first section authorizes the State Treasurer in his collections and disbursements to con form to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States on the subjects of Interest and legal tender; and the second (section empowers the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to purchase and cancel the obligations of the State whenever they have any funds on hand. This is expected to prevent the accu mulation in the Treasury of what has been known as “ the unexpected balance, ” which is thought to have often been used in tempo iat y loans to favored banks and individuals. For these laws to secure the public fundß, the Legislature is entitled to some credit at least. Senator Revels, of Mississippi, whose dark skin excluded him from the Academy of Music, in which the nastiness of Genevieve de Brabant and the nudities of The Black Crook were so often tolerated, is to lecture to-morrow evening in Horticultural Hall. He lectured, a night or two ago, as our readers are aware, in the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Directors of which do not seem to think it was in the least injured or degraded. There is much curiosity 10 hear and see the first colored Senator of the United States, the successor of Jefi'erson Davis. The suhjeet of to-morrow evening’s lecture is The Press.” He proposes to consider its origin and history, and to illustrate its value to mankind.' Especially will he chdeavor to show its importance as an educator qf the people, and the influence for good that the loyal por tion of the press of the country exerted during the rebellion. He ought to have a crowded assemblage of the people of this ever-loyal city. |, Upon an inside page; to-day, we publish TftToe letters written to Mrs. McFarland by two >pf her female, friends. The authors are women Who have drunk deeply from that stream of frte love and spiritualism which llows fromthe Tribune fountain; and tile loathsome and dis gusting appeals to Mrs. McFarland to abandon her, husband, kidnap, hejr " Children, .defy, opinion and 11; ng herself into the arms of, her paramour, Richardson, are dressed; up in the sentimental verbiage which is peculiar to the free lovfe fanatics and scoundrels. -Mrs. Cal houn prates about her "dream life,” her “spiritual intimates,”and‘‘the New; Jerusalem;’’ while she pours into the ears of her willing victim such poisonous stuff about her •husband and her duty to herself and .children, that the bitter words. .used against the writer by Mr. Graham, one of. McFarland’s counsel, are wholly justified. Both of these women, are •disciples of the New York Tribune; they are members of the body of which ’Horace Greeley is the head. When we read this infamous cor respondence we are not surprised that a weak woman, as Mrs. McFarland is, fell; but we feel that the stern retribution which punished Richardson for his crimes left unscathed others who shared his guilt in an equal degree. The letter of our Pottsville correspondent which will be found on another page, gives a great deal of information concerning the coal region of Schuylkill county, the mines and the mode of working them, which will be new to many of our readers. minting-, I> nr In, row Co., Auctioneers.

FROM THE WEBT. IBy tb« Americas Press Association, J OHIO* r Colored Celebration of the Fifteenth Aaaendment KailHeation—Better from Chler luailee thaw. CtxcixxATi, April 13.—The following is the substance of an important and remarkable letter from Chief Justice Chase to the com mittee of colored citizens corresponding in relation to the celebration of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment: “Wabhixcto.v, D. C., March 30tb, 1870— Accept my thanks for the invitation tendered on behalf of the colored people of Cincinnati to attend the celebration. My duties will not permit me to he present except by good will and wishes. Almost a quarter of a century has passed since some of you probably beard me declare (May, IMS) that ‘ all legal distinctions between individuals of the same country, founded on any such circumstances as origin and the like, are hostile to the genius of our institutions and incompatible with the true theory of American liberty; that true democracy wakes no inquiry about tke color of the skin, or the place of nativity, or any other similar circumstances of condition; and that the exelnslon of the colored people as a body from the elective franchise is Incompatible with true Democratic principles.’ “I congratulate you that these principles have been at length made apart of the su preme Jaw of the land. Many, no donbt, would have been glad, as I should have been, . if the. great work consummated by the ratiiica . tion ol the Fifteenth Amendment could have .been accomplished,through the States,through the amendment of the State Constitutions: .hut the delays and uncertainties prejudicial :to every interest inseparable from that mods •of proceeding seemed to necessitate the course Actually adopted. Nor does the amendment Impair the real rights of any Stats, ft leaves ithe whole regulation of suftrage to the whole jpeople of each State, subject oaly to the fundamental law that the right of no citizen .to vote shall he denied or abridged on account .of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude. It is to be hoped that each State will .so conform its constitution and laws to this fundamental law that no occasion may be given for legislation by Congress. But the best vindication of the wisdom as well as the justice.of the.amendment must be found in the conduct of the large class of citizens whom you represent. On the occasion to which Xbave referred, I ventured to say that the best .way to insure the peaceful dwelling together.of the different races is the cordial reciprocation of beueiits, and not the mutual., infliction of injuries. I cannot now give you better counsel than I ottered then. ‘Go for ward,having perfect faith in your own man hood, In God a providence, adding to your faith virtue, and to virtue, knowl edge ; and to knowledge, patience; and to patience, temperance; and to temperance broiharly kindness, and to brotherly kindness charity.' Why not signalize your'rejoicings in the rights secured under the Fifteenth Amendment by urging upon Congress the prompt removal of all political disabilities imposed upon our fellow dtizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, so : that through universal suffrage and universal amnesty , peace, good-will and prosperity may he established throughout our country? Every good man must rejoice in the progress whies the colored citizens of the United States have made in education, in religious culture ami in the general improvement of their condition. Every good man must earnestly desire their continued aud accelerated progress in the same direction; all public and private interests will be promoted byk, and it will insure at no distant day the cordial recognition of their rights, even from those of their fellow-citizens who have most earn estly opposed them. No man can now be found who would restore slavery. A few years hence, if the colored men are wise, it will be impossible to find a man who will avow himself in favor of denyingorabridging their right to vote [bigned] Libel Salt.
