FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE UETTKKB FROM «“AIUN. ■ —— . ■ - v_ 4 * [CorrfKFonilrnco of tho riiihvEveijjng^ufystin.l P/iiiß, Tuesday, April fithvlB7G < -The N con : Vtilulioria! machinery vrjm’t .Wrk-i'bn thp. contrary, it is getting out t>f Mr, and preat tins to bring on a state, ot jclitpjuib confusion, which is far from beiilg witliqutpbri), i)nd,of ■which it is impossible foresee the Result Tho Ediatus-Vonsultum, of which X sent you . a sketch last, week, is turning out to bo a very awkward and somewhat clumsy piece of business, and has involved the new ministers in a position, and iiidueecl them to tako a resolution which may be pro eluctivo of very serious consequences. Meet ings have been held by the dillerent parties in tiie Chamber, at which great confusion and difference of opinion have prevailed,.and no definite conclusions have been arrived at; while yesterday a very critical debate began in tie Chamber itself and has been adjourned to tliis day .without asyet showing very clearly whHt is likely to he its issue. Vou will ask what all this is about; and to say the truth, the inntter is extremely complicated) an <l not easy tp render intelligible without going into details of a very ■.wearisome and technical nar tare. Such asFrench Constitutions and French Constitution-makers always seem to delight in puzitihg Themselves with, as well as tho whole world besides. But I will endeavor to eluci date just 6be or two of the principal points which are creating the present hitch. In The first place, then, it seems suddenly to hav* occurred to every one that hero we have the French Senate, a non-eleeted and non-rep resentative body-men who are mere nomi xiees and pensioners of the Emperor about to discuss and settle the most vital interests of the French people and nation, while the really representative Chamber, or that which ought to he such, sits close by without having a word to say in the business. You will allow that this was rather a trying posi tion for representatives of the people to oc_ rupy patiently and in silence. Indeed it was felt to he so much so that there was even a whisper of an intention, on the part of the Government, to adjourn the sittings,of the Corps Legislatif altogether, for a considerable period, until the matters in hand were settled in their absenfce. But this only in creased the irritation which was begin ning to be felt, and led to rumors of intended interpellations as to what was about to be done ip the Senate, which were met by counter-rumors that the Ministers, would make.the rejection of all such interfer ence a Cabinet question, and would throw up their portfolios if the intention were per- i severed in. T\ T ell; this was one point which has been creating embarrassment of late. Then again, there was one particular article in the new Constitution, proposed by Minis ters, which was viewed with dissatisfaction and even distrust by a very large portion of the liberal party of all shades. This was the Fifth Article of the Fenatus-Consulium itself, by which it is declared that “ the Con stitution” (as now about to be definitively fixed) “ could only be modified by the people, <m tie proposition of the Emperor .” Now the last words, which I have underlined, are certainly at once remarkable and suspicions; and explain why the Left and most liberal portion of the Chamber should have taken up at present the anomalous attitude of being the very party which- most vehemently op poses tbe doctrine of Plebiscite, or appeals directly to ' the people. “'What! 1 ’ ex claim M. Picard, Jules Favre and others, “ do you think we don’t know what Plebiscite • on the proposition of the Emperor’ means? ” Were not some of you in prison,” asked M. Picard, addressing the Ministers, “ when the Plebiscite which followed the Deux Decem bre was concocted?” The Plebiscite, he said, under such circumstances was only a de rision and a.hyprocrisy,to cheat the nation out of its liberties. And it must be confessed that tbe uses which the Napoleons, big and little, have heretofore made of this piece of politi cal machinery are not quite of a nature to indnee the country To leave it in their hands with confidence in so absolute a form as that now contemplated by the Henalus- Vonsullwn. The very fact that the Emperor is known to cling very tenaciously to this last relic of “ personal power ” in the shape of a direct “ appeal to the people,” creates the suspicion of a desire on Ins part to retain a weapon by which he might retake all that he has of late given up. With the government in his hands and the army at his back, we all know pretty well what even now .the result of an “appeal to the people” by a “ oui" or a "non" might be made to appear to bo. Even tbe Marquis d’Audelafre, an habitual supporter «f the Ministry, expressed strongly “hisdeep regret at seeing this privilege of an appal au people reserved to the person of the sovereign only.” M. Ollivier spoke well and eloquently, yesterday, as he always does; but I do not think be quite succeeded in satisfying tbe constitutional party, especially as he an nounced that the Ministers and the Emperor had decided that, if tho Senate agreed with them, the whole of the measures at present pro jected should be submitted to a Plebiscite before they should be considered as finally ratified. All this is very complicated and difficult, and, 1 fear, you will also think very tiresome. But Frenchmen will go on perpetually discussing the very first principles of government over and over again. The demand of explanations as to “ what the Government was doing or proposing to do in the Upper House,” was brought on yester day in tbe Corps Legislatif by M. Grivy, of the Left, and the debates turned mainly on the point which I have above noticed. Minis ters hope to-day that an order ' of tbe day will be voted expressive of confidence, and leaving them time and liberty to carry out their intentions. But, as I began Toy saying, things do not run smoothly, and M. Ollivier has still much to contend agajnßt before he gets his administration into working order. The affair of the Creuzot mines and iron ■works still continues to give trouble. No one seems to know precisely from what causes the discontent of the mining population arises, and we are especially assured that there is no “ strike for increase of wages.” 'Vet the mines are completely at a etand still, and M, Schneider, the President, of the Corps Legislatif, who is Chief Manager and Director, is detained at Creuzot,and una ble to return to his duties in the Chamber. It woulcl seem that the entire population of the district has been more or less contaminated hy nltra-democratical and socialist doctrines, .which have rendered them disaffected to their employers. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, as yon will doubt less hear, is expected to sail shortly for Amer ica. He certainly .stands in danger of assassi nation,if he remains in Europe. TJie verdict of acquittal is now generally regarded as hav ing been inspired by feelings of disgpat against the violejice exhibited at the trial by the friends •f tiifc victim. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APIIIL 20,,1870. rAKis, Friday, April Bth, 1870. —Nothing Is talked of hut themagnificent speech delivered by Gambetfain a Republic day last. wexia a good number of Abte ricajis presenjt in tlnj Ghajnbijr, and not* jif f«|vr : among themfdmid itjdiflitsuitN.o : matiifesiationsjof afesfent to the splendid deej.v -■ matibnirith Nvhich We French orator pet foijth I tlie majesty of >tl)eirojWn institutions, j Ncijer •peWtips Vwsr)e'\ v thp ,of\thena tional sovereigntythe “ right divine", of the “people” and of “ universal suffrage," vindicated in language more worthy of such themes; never were the pettiness, frivolity and childishness of courts and dynasties more ruthlessly and vigorously demonstrated. M. Gambetta rose to.the highest pitch,of elo quence, and seemed to transfix the attention ofjthe Chamber, when be declared that “ under evpry other form of government, except a re public, universal suffrage w'as nothing but a mockery and a „ liethat “ the national sovereignly alone must be acknowledged to be all powerful,” and that “ they, the depu tiep, were clothed with the mandate, not of a dynasty, but of the people.” The right of the nation, be declared, was always, and under all circumstances, to have the “ last - word ” in everything that ebneerned its interests; and whatever power presumed to interfere with, or hold in check, the national will, vio lated that right. Universal suffrage, which expressed the sovereignty of the nation, was absolutely “incompatible with the monarchical principle.” I quote a, few expressions here and there, just to show you the general drift of the discourse, which was nothing less, in fact, than a reopening of the first principles of government, and va direct appeal to the French people to reconsider anew, now that they were once more in a posi tion to do so, their choice between the Empire and a Republic. But the most astonishing | feature of the whole was that the entire Chamber, the Right and Right Centro just as much as the Left and Left Centre, listened, -as it were, spell bound, to this attack upon the existing institutions of the country and the Empire. There was not an interrnption, scarcely a murmur, from beginning to end. Partly by his eloquence,. partly by the solid force of his reasoning and principles, partly also, no doubt, by the weight of public opinion behind him, M. Gambetta compelled the Chamber to' go along with him and listen to him, not only with patience, but admiration. Almost every newspaper, of whatever opinion, joins in the universal note of praise. And this language, and this approbation of it, will be read from one end of France to the other. I almost tremble when I think what-may be the consequences and how it may unsettle things again, just as they are becomiug consolidated, in a country so excitable and changeable as this. For one cannot conceal from oneself that there is still, and perhaps always will be, one fatal drawback to M. Gambetta’s conclusions. Yes, he did indeed demonstrate, with trium phant and matchless eloquence, the superiority of republican institutions; and the maxim that “ political philosophy demanded that the people' should be considered as the exclusive source of all power and all rights.” . But, then, one was compelled to own that the French people were not the American people, and to ask whether the former really were or ever would be ripe for and capable of the exercise of such rights, and such powers, and such duties, as their elo quent advocate claimed foi r them. Alas! one cannot but remember that as yet they have not •learnt to choose even their own Mayors; and would, I fear, make a sad mess of choosing a President. They never had a chance of doing so freely and unimpeded but once; and what they did then/ has not left a high idea of tlieir judgment or discretion. They might have chosen General Cavaignac, a thoroughly patriotic and honest man, and so have kept their Republic when they got it. Instead of which, with their usual levity and fickleness and thorough want of political perception, they threw themselves into the arms of a Prince who was neither very patriotic nor over honest, aud who treated them perhaps as they deserved. And now they are tired of him, and want to begin again ;_.and M. Gambetta's speech, if I mistake not, will go a long way to re-awaken republican ardor. As far as the vote of the Chamber goes, the Ministry is sale enough. M. Ollivier has de clared that the new Scnatvs Consultum, or rather the new parliamentary Constitution, is to be submitted to a plebiscite, and the Chamber has sanctioned that declaration by a majority of 227 to 43. So plebiscite there will undoubtedly be. But no one seems.to put any faith in it, or to expect that it will really consolidate again the old basis of the auto cratic Empire, which has been so rudely over thrown. As M. Gambetta told the Chamber, if the people say “No” to the question put to them, the plebiscite will he a revolution; if “ Yes,” it will be a fiction; in neither case, therefore, can the formality be of much avail. The Emperor is said to insist upon it with his usual tenacity, and thereby only creates,, A the suspicion that his rqal motive (as on former occasions) is to use.the “ ingenious process,” as M. Gambetta calls • it, not sq much in order to ascertain the will of the people, as to he able at any time to impose his own. To sutn up, everything is very much at sixes and sevens just now. Be-' tween' plebiscites and new constitutions and such dangerous speeches as that of Gambetta the heads of the French people,which arc never over well-balanced, stand a chance of being completely,.Were any awkward political turned “ incidents” to arise just at this critical mo ment the consequences might be very serious. M. Emile Ollivier has just been elected a metnber of the French Academy, m the place of M. de Lamartine. The celebrated writer of fcuilletons, M. Jules Jiujin, has been elected with him. Americans will have heard with regret of the serious illness of Count Stackleberg, the Rus sian Minister here, so long resident in the same capacity in the United States. lam happy to learn this morning that bis malady, a sloughing carbuncle, no longer affords ground of uneasi ness to his many friends. Prince Pierre Bonaparte drove in an open carriage down the Boulevard the other day. But the “demonstration.” if, it were intended for such, produced no effect, for the population took no notice of him. —A fellow on trial in New Haven for barn-burning is named AdamPoorat. Hois CtUlt A Series of Crimes sf»tl ItlnrilcrH nnrt AUe»|iteil Mnrdora-.* v' '■ of lawless In Schnylfclll County. ‘loWrctconilrncfl el Hie Philadelphia Kvenlnr Ballotln.) ;' Pottsvju.k, April IS, 1810.— Tljq ; pecujlar Situation of this place assures^> of.it ieaatr one iidvaulage over its lowlier neighbors; 1 and that is—pet feet immunity from freshets. Nothing short of a universal deluge .will ever set rottsvillc afloat. But it Is lucky for the city and its vicinity that the recurrence of such a catastrophe is expressly prophesied against, fl.r I know of no better spot for one to begin. Two arsons, two : murders (at least) accom plished, and half-a-dozen more attempted, make tip the published record of higher-grade crimes, for the week just ended, A colliery stable and the breaker of the Silliman Colliery, atiMahaiioy City—the latter making certain a lojtg suspension at one operation—at least, are the extent of the fires—both incendiary. A report was indeed current,during the high wind of Friday evening, that Mahanoy City was in flames, a catastrophe which,under such circrm stances, could not but he fatal tq that wooden town; but the rumor proved false. The most Important murder was that of Patrick Burns, clerk and superintendent at the colliery of F. DeSocarrez & Co. Burns, not withstanding his name, was an-American, and had in some unknown way given offence to seme of the rough characters with whom he bad to deal. About a month ago, lie was as saulted in his own house and badly beaten ; and about two weeks ago he banded his revol ver to Mr. DeSocarrez, and requested him to bring it to Pottsvillaand procure cartridges to fit it, as be feared certain persons, whom he named, would kill him, if they had a chance. His fears were only too well founded. On Friday morning, as he was walking up to the colliery, he was shot from behind a tree, ap parently with a rifle or musket, two balls pass ing entirely through his head. He was then dragged four or five (yards into the hushes be side the road, and left. When found, a few hours after, he was dead. There is no clue to the murderer or murderers that would avail in a court of justice though-his Honor Judge Lynch would probably have little difficulty in identifying them. In the next case, his Honor’s jury would certainly return a verdict of “ served ’em right,” without leaving their seats. Three strikers, named Dixon, Williams, and another 'whose name I have not learned, went on a drunk on Tuesday night last, and kept it up until Wednesday morning, when they under took to prevent Bast’s workmen, at Big Mine Bun, near Ashland,;, from going to work. Among others, they attacked an ,honest Dutch man, named Henry Buhl, knocked him down, and were, apparently, about drawing their re volvers to finish him, when his son Frederick, who was twenty or thirty yards in advance, came to his rescue with a grubbing-hoe, and used it tosuchgoodeflect that lie and his father were soon left masters of the situation. Dixon was subsequently arrested and lodged in the the county prison; Williams died on Friday, and the third man is still missing, but is sup posed to be dead also. The Buhls gave them selves up, entered bail in the sum of $2,000 to answer any charges tliat might be brought against them, and went their way. Future assailants will do well to ascertain if there are grubbiDg-hoes handy before attacking these plucky Teutons. How much a man can endure without being killed was the subject o: an interesting experi ment at the “patch” connected with Atkins Bros.’ furnace colliery, near Shenandoah City, on last Thursday evening. Mrs. James Har vey bad reason to suspect that one of herboard ers was connected with the “Molly Maguires,” a secret society of cut-throats, whose mission on earth—for all things have their uses—is to irri tate the people of Schuylkill county into form ing a Vigilance Committee to sweep all such vermin off the face of the earth—at least three feet. The suspected party.promptly admitted the soft impeachment, and was as promptly in vited to leave by the irate lady, who said she never had boarded a “ Molly,” and never would. At this the “Mollies” in turn became indignant, and on Thursday evening fifteen of them called at Mr. Haney’s to remonstrate against the further use of such language. Har vey and a boarder named Hugh Toole were sit ting on the porch when the party came up, for it was not yet dark, and the evening was pleasant. What was the first argument ad vanced has not transpired, but the discussion is represented as having been quite. animated. Mr. Toole, after receiving a bullet in his leg and havinghis brains nearly knocked ont with a billy, withdrew from the contest by rolling oft' the porch and dropping into the cellar, where the “Mollies” lost him. They accused Mrs. Harvey of knowing his where abouts, and on her denying it, cut her head open with a billy. It is to be hoped she will entertain a better opinion of the “ Mollies” in future. Harvey was then dragged off,-the porch and. into the bushes, where he was pounded with billies, hacked, with knives and riddled with bullets—over a hundred shots being fired into and around him. They left him for dead, and his friends picked him up and went for the doctor; but no doctor could be induced to risk bis neck in that vicinity until after daylight, next morning, and when one did come be found Harvey a mass of wounds from head to foot, but still living; and at; last accounts he was living yet, not- . withstanding the Journal killed him, this morning. “No arrests were made.” Neither was the man arrested who, at Gi rardville, one . night about a week ago, stepped up.to a stranger as lie stood quieity at a corner of the principal street in town, and drawing a revolver, fii ed at him with as much noncha lance as if it was quite an everyday affair. And"' so it was; for such things have grown so com mon in Gifardviile that nobody thinks it worth his while to report them, and I only gleaned the facts in the case by happening to meet a communicative friend from that locality. The hall, after passing .through the mail’s hand, glanced from a vest button, and did no further .harm. He did not know his assailant, hut thought he could have identified his features if he had not been afraid to say anything! . But the engineer who, in self-defence, shot a man in the hip yesterday, at Tuscarora, was brought to town by the first train this moru- <. ing and bundled into jail as quickly as possible, lie evidently docs not belong to the “Molly Maguires.” These are the murderous assaults that have' come to light within a week, llow many there were that were never heard of in town it is impossible to.estimate ; for unless the injured man dies, nobody considers the assault worth noticing, and it is only by accident that it finds its way into the papers. The Girardville case strikes me as particularly racy. Imagine how you would feel if, some fine night, you should step out on the pave of Chestnut street, and while gazing at the show-window over the way, a half-drunken individual suddenly pokes a revolver into your face and fires—knowing well that, even if some lucky accident should save your life, you would not dare to prose cute him. If there is anything that will scare a man out of his seven senses quicker than -that, I have'not yet discovered it.

Evening Bulletin.] AVu.MiNUXON, April 10.—The “whisky ’'‘cases” at the United States District,Court coifc tluuo to lie the principal object of Interest, and the court-room is crowded. They drag along slowly, every inch of ground being closely con tested by opposing counsel, and the testimony constantly interrupted by arguments on objee , tiers ns totbe admissibility of evidence. From tire unmher of exceptions taken, it seems that both sides have an expectation of carrying the matter up to the Circuit Court. Detective Brooks, the shot-at, of your city, is present .at' the trial, in dose cjjnttoencc with the Government counsel. A largo number of the prominent members of tho “Whisky King ”of Philadelphia are'also present as spec tators, and it was generally expected that some of them would be put on the witness stand by the defence. It was probably in anticipation of this that Mi. Brooks was called here. All the evidence in the first case, which is that of the “ information ” under which the distillery of Archibald McKinley was seised, is now in, and the argument of counsel is.now occupying the attention of tho court and jury. The result in the other cases hinges largely on the verdict in this. The'general impression at the close of tliewevidcnce was that the Gavern ment had a very strong case. Last Thursday a small explosion took place at Dupont’s powder mills. The public atten tion wgs so occupied with the colored parade, however, that very few people heard the report. A man named Donohue was killed by it, his remains being so distorted and blackened when found as to be hardly recognizable. On Sunday evening a desperate, assault was made on one, of our - citizens at his own house. A man cajlcd at the door and asked for him, and when he came out into the entry, struck him with a club, and followed up the first blow with several others, and only desisted when the cries of the lady of the house had summoned assistance. The wounded man is William Q. Moore, a foreman in one of the shops of tho P. W. &B. R, JR. Co. .He .is a brother of Thomas W. Moore, now deceased, for many yearn teacher of penmanship in Crittenden's Commercial College of Philadelphia. His in juries are of a serious, but not dangerous character. On the evening of the occurrence a man named Hugh Sweeney, who keeps a drinking saloon down town, was ar rested, cbarge4 with tho assault, and put under $l,OOO bail to appear next Thursday, by which time, it is hoped, Mr. Moore will he able to appear as a witness. It seems Moore recently employed Sweeney’s daughter as a house-servant, she having ran away from her home on account of alleged cruel treatment by her father, on account of her unwillingness to attend Catholic Church. Her father making an effort to get her back, she again ran away, whereupon he sued Moore for her wages, she being a minor. Mr. M. pleaded, as an offset, board and clothes furnished her, and the suit was decided against Sweeney. This is said to be the cause of his hatred of Moore. The recent annnal election for officers of the Fire Department resulted in much riotiug and confusion, and the bitterness of feeling which continues to be displayed by the rival companies has led to the serious consideration of the propriety of establishing a Paid Depart ment, and a resolution instructing the Com mittee to inquire into the expediency of such action was unanimously passed at the last meeting of the Council.
