FyO~~:;+ r i , IKi~:~F:•l:#(:i~i1LH Victor Hugo astatie Pletothettrun. The Roppel publishes an .article of Victor Hugo on the Plibiscitunt orwhich the follow ing are concluding paragraphs: How strange a Piebisciturn ! It is coup d'itat out up into pieces of paper. After the grape shot comes the scrutiny. To the rifled cannon succeeds the urn. People vote that you don't exist.' And the people vote. And the master counts the votes. He has as many as he wishes, and'he puts the people in his pocket. But he forgets that what he thinks he has seized is unseizable. A nation does not abdicate. Why? Because it renews itself. The vote must always be recommenced. No matter. , The vote has been taketr:and tete toaster accepts that for a consent: Snch practices make the English laugh. Submit to the coup d'état—submit to the Piebiscituni. How can a nation support such humiliations? England at the present moment has the good fortune to laugh a little at France. Then laugh at the ocean: - X - er.t.e.s la.shed it. The Empire, after nineteen ,years of prac tice, thinks itself tempting. It oilers us its progress. It offers us the COUP <Pettit arranged in a democratic form, the night of December in the dress of parliamentary inviolability, the free tribune dove-tailed to Cayenne,. Mazes modified into a house of liberty, and the vio lation of every right adapted to,liberulgoyern ment. Very well, no! We are ungkeful. We, citizens of the assassinated 7.tepiiblie; we, thinking lovers ot justice, we watch, with the intention of making use of it, toe weakening of authority suitable to the old age of treason. We are waiting, and in the meantime, before that mechanism called Piebiscituni, we shrug our shoulders. • . • - - To Europe without disarmament, to France without influence, to Russia without restraint, to Prussia without balance, to Spain without anchor, to Greece without Crete, to Italy , without Rome, .to Roine witheut Romans, to democracy without people, we say " No !" To liberty in the grasp of despotism, to prosperity the fruit of a catastrophe, to justice in the name of an accused, to the magistrature marked with the letters L. N. 8., to 'B9 vise by the Empire, to the 14th of July completed by the 2d of December, to loyalty sworn by a false oath, to . progress decreed by retrogres sion, to solidity promised hy ruin, to light con fined by darkness,to the face behind the mask, to the spectre behind the smile, we say "No!" Moreover, if the author of the coup d'etat real y desires to ask the people a question, we acknowledge only the right of putting the fol lowing : Ought Ito leave the Tuileries for Vincennes, and place myself in the hands of justice ?--Napoleon." LADY FRANKLIN. A Sorrowful Llfe. A San Francisco correspondent, noting the arrival of Lady Franklin, writes: "By the la. , t Panama boat there arrived a lady whose life is the centre of, a century's tragedy--a lady whose constancy and devotion will be the theme of future homes, and far eclipse the fame of the fabled Penelope. A cruel rumor,started-sorma months - ago - by — a ' city fiaper that a waif had drifted -ashore near Ban Diego, containing some_,memento of the Arctic heroes, reached her at Rio Janeiro, and she hastens, to, San, Francisco; distance, fatigue; age,, all forgotte, in the Wild hope that the sea may have revealed one of its sor rowful secrets.

Hat's'. On Monday morning early, Story and Car rigan presented themselves at trews' rresi dence, and caught him unarmed in the corral adjoining his "house. They - told hint - their business, and at the same time drew their .pistols upon him_ and _orderect_biin to. throw up his hands. Be objected to thesituation, but finally complied. Story returned his pistol to his pocket, got from Carrigan the hattdcuff,s, and approached Haws with the inteution of handcuffing him, while Carrigati.still kept his pistol drawn on .the murderer. Haws was a wiry, quick desperado, and, evidently com prehending that his last effort for freedom was then or never,. he dashed away the hand ' cuffs, and swore that he would not wear them. Story. ordered Carrigan to shootant_l_,. at the same instant, "Haws sprang; fa' Carrigan, wrenched the revolver from him and struck at his bead. Story flew at Haws, drew his pis tol, got it to Haws's side. hut the lat.:..:' bent his back, and the ball passed by without touching him. Haws, in an instant, grappled with Story, turned his pistol upon his, left shoulder and tired. .Story reeled to the fence. Haws fired at Carrigan - and missed hilti;,Storylired a.aecond_ time. Haws returned to him and shot him in the breast, finishing , him. As Carrigan was risitig Haws fired at him a second time, and missed him. Carrigan fled for assistance, - bat the house where this. - occurred being outside-the settlement, Haws had time to saddle hiS horse; get his pistols, take the jfiStols of the two depu- - es,Lborrow_a_gun•,—"with-which-to-shoot rab--- bits," and get a fair start of half a mile ahead of his pursuers.' Several Mormons accompanied Carrigan in pursuit, and from the settlement of Tooele another company started after him. The news' ,(-ached here-on Monday - evening, - and - the telegraph was freely used to start out men after Haws in every direction. A company left here under the leadership of the great Porter Rock : . well. The character of the min and his - evi , ' dentresolution not to be taken alive caused a deep interest-iii the pursuit._ - He was chased for some Wiles, and would liaVe been overtaken, but, coming to .a preci pice, he got off his horse, rolled himself down' to the bottom and go!. to the canon.

When those who shot him got to his body, one young man stooped down to take oft one of the pistols, and the moment he pulled it, off it went, and the ball passed through his "hand and wrist.

The Expelled Italian Flnt ► neter•- His Itevenne; [From the London Thnoe, May 4.] The liberal papers of Paris comment upon the expulsion from France, by order of the Minister of the Interior, of - M. - Certinschi, an Italian, who had resided in that capital for twenty years. M. Cernuschi was engaged with Mazzini in the defence of- Rome against the French army, and, after the capture of that city, he was for some time _a prisoner in the Castle of tit. Angelo. Upon his release he established' himself at Paris, where, by conimercial__,pursuits he amassed con siderable :wealth. Having, retained . his democratic opinions, he gave a sum of 100,900 f. towards the anti-plebiscitary fund, and thi§ act the opposition' press regards ay the motive for' the order of expulsion, but the Minister him self assigns as the cause that M. Cernuschi, foreigner, had engaged himself in political in trigues against the safety of the Empire.

Thomas Irwin departed this life, at -his residence. in Allegheny, ow last Saturday afternoon. His death, although not sudden or - nnex pectiTd — , east a gloom of Baness over these communities, as the deceased was 1/111-versally---bekrved, -versally---bekrved, respected and admired. Judge Irwin was born in Philadelphia, on the .faticlay. of February, 1784. His father,- Col. _Matthew Irwin, was a distinguished Rohner in the revolutionary war, and was one of a Jew Philadelphia patriots of that '.try ing period who , brought relief and comfort to the famishing army at Valley Forge, and prevented their utter de. moralization by affording opportune pecu niary aid, be alone subscribing-£.5,000_t0 the cause. The mother of the deceased was a -daughter of- Benjamin -Mifflin, whose grand father,John Mifilin,eame with,William Penn to this country, settling in _NewCastle, Dela,. ware, in 1682, The Mithins were known. as the " lighting Quakers," from the active part they took in the 'revolutionary war, and one of them rose to the distinction of Brigadier- General in the Continental army and was elected aS the first Governor of this Common wealth under the Constithtion of 1790. Judge Irwin received a fair education •in Franklin_Cellege,atLancaster,_quitting_at the age of nineteen to help support his/mother, who, with six small children, was left .. widow in straitened circumstances, the father having involved himself before death .by .a series of heavy endorsements. In 1804 he became editor of the Phil adelphia Repository, a weekly paper. In 1808 he commenced the practice of law, and, in search of a more encouraging field, he left...for_ _Louisiana.. He -was--subsequently appointed by President Madison to a position in tLe Indian Department established at Natchitoches, where he soon obtained the position of Judge Advocate of the parish. 11l health rendered his return to Pennsylvania advisable, and in 1811 he came to Uniontown, Fayette county, where he resumed the prac tice - of law. He was married in 1812. to -Miss—Walker, a lady'of what place -and one of great worth, beauty and accom plishments. The marriage was an un usually happy one, and the venerable lady, the bride of nearly sixty years ago, sur vives her husband, and we feel sure is as charming and , lovabie in ker declining years =life as she was when led to the altar by the youthful husband in the early part of the cen tury.. In 1824 Judge Irwin was elected to a seat in the State Legislature, and was returned in 1826. Be took an active and leading part it the prominent_measnres of_the_two_ses sionS during hismembership, and retired with a high reputation and the esteem and confi dence of his constituents. • In 1828 he was elected to Congress, and took his seat in December, 1829. On the resigna tion of Judge Wilkins to accept a seat in the - - United States Senate, President Jackson ap pointed the deceased to succeed him as Dis trict Judge of the United States.

A: letter from Athens the Augsburg Guzette gives a somewhat circumstantial ac count of the tragedy. The,writer, after giving reasons which, -in-his - opinion, justified that course, says that the Greek Government gave order that the band should be surrounded, not with'a view of inking offensive measures against it, but to compel it to accept the ran som andthe exile, beyond which concessions M. Zaimis and his colleagues, in their intense regard foi the constitution. could not go, and . proceeds to describe the ccinliequences of that' decision. When the brigands found that the troops ,were approaching them on all sides they de-` terreined, on Thursday, the 21st of April, at 4 in the afternoon, to escape across the Asopus .to the sea_coast,in-the-mtention -of- crossing over into Enham. They dragged their pri soners, wet through and exhausted by fatigue and sickness; to the stream swollen by the re cent heavy rains, and endeavored to compel them to swim across. Count Boyl, who was sub:rin from lung disease, refused. He was laid hold of, and would have been carried across, rebbers perceived the gunboat A phroessa off the coast, and a number of sol diers suddenly appeared on the other side of the strewn. They immediately cut him down with their yatagans and fled, taking with them the rest of the prisoners. The troops plunged into the stream in a terrible rage ; many of them were carried away by it, but the rest climbing the shore;hotly pursued the brigands. They had not gone far before they came upon the bleedy and still quivering corpses of Arlr, Vyner and Mr. Herbert, killed by the knives of the brigands. The shots fired drew other detachments of soldiers to the chase, and be fore nightfall nine of the brigands were killed. One, severely wounded, was taken prisoner, and the interpreter had escaped. Mr. Lloyd,. bowever,, still alive, was in the hands of the brigands, .who, nine in • number,' with three 'wounded, • had taken refuge in, the, thicket.

The anxiety caused in Greek ofticial_citcles_by_the...ma.essicre r and its probable _consequences, is shown by the fact that immediately after learning the news the Greek Embassador at Vienna went to Count Beust and asked him what-course the Austrian Government proposed to take in the matter, adding that he feared that an occupa. don ofGreece by the Powers might be the result. Count Beust refrained-from making any decisive declaration on the subject, but • said that_ the_Bowers_--would probably—with draw their Etnbassadors until a state of things more compatible with, international law should be established.

GEN. GEORGE H. THOMAS. His Steadfast JA4alt y .-=-Letter ream One aP Hl9 tliaff• .Editors Alta Cabfornta.- 2 -The letter 'of Fitz hugh Lee to the Richmond Dispatch, which appears in your columns to-day, is but a repe tition of the oft-repeated slander upon Gen. Thomas that was a favorite.article_during_the war. Affer the close of the war, and South ern papers beatme accessible to the people of the whole country, these slanders ceased, as Gen. Thomas could too easily refute them: but now that the great man is dead it IS saftrto - renew - theio. ' It is known to all who knew Gen. Thomas, that one of his great characteristics was truth fulness, entire tinthfulness, without reserva tion, and it, is for the people of the 'United States to judge betweeta_what he said on -tlais subject while living, and what the enemies of our country say, now that he'is dead. As a confidential staff officer, one of his Aids-de-Camp, I had the privilege of having pony conversations with Oen. Thomas Ivey, matters 'relating to the - rebelllon.' TheT more important of these conversations I made notes of at the time, with his knowledge and con sent. Among them is one 'on the subjectof Fitzhugh Lee's letter, which I here copy from my - note-books " A slander upon the General was often re peated in the Southern papers during and im mediately subsequent to the rebellion. It was given upon the authority of prominent rebel officers, and not denied by them; it was 1 to the effect that he was disappointed in not getting - a high command in t e rebel army he _had sought_tor,hence. hi R voritsallo_join-in-the - rebellion. L - In 'a conversation with Win on this subject, the General said this was an entire fabrication, not having,,an atom of founda tion ; not a line ever passed, between him and the rebel authorities; they had no genuine letters of his, nor was a word spoken by him to any one that could even lead to such an inference. He defied any one to produce any testimony, written or I oral, to sustain such an allegation; he never tiutertamed such au idea, for his duty was clear to him from the beginning. He said these . lenders were caused by men who line% they had done wrong, hut were endeavori gto justify themselves by claiming their action to be a virtue which all true men would have followed, and by blackening the character of those who' had done right. It was evident that they were determined that no Southern-born man who bad remained trite to his country should bear a reputable character, if continued and repeated abuse could effect a stain upon it." Auoth. r conversation, showing the opinion of the - autb ors: of these:slanders, and his own views at the breaking out efthe.rebellion, it is well to give also...it is as. follows : "Ina dis cussion upon the causes given for their action by some of the officers who deserted the Gov ernment at the rebellion, I ventured the as sertion that perhaps some of them, at distant posts, had acted ignorantly ; that I 'had been informed that some of them had been imposed upon by friends or relatives, and led to believe there was to be a peaceable dissolution of the 'Won ; that there would be no actual General GovernMent • for the , whole coun try, and, by resigning their commis sions, . they were only taking the necessary steps toward .returning to the alle giance of their respective States. He,replied, that this . WaS but a poor excuse; he could not helieve- that Officers Of the army were so ig norant of their form of Government as to suppose such proceeding could occur, and as tbeyhad stvorn allegiance to the. Government they were bound to adhere to it, and would have done so if they had been so inclined. He Said there — was no' excuse whatever in a United States officer claiming the right of se cession. and the only excuse any of them could have had for their desertion - Of the Government was what none althorn admitted having engaged revointion against a tyranny, because the tyranny did not exist, and they well knew it. I then asked him, supposing such a state 'of atlairs had existed, that arrangements were being made for a peaceful dissolution of the Union by the Government, the North from the South, and that it was in progress, What, would you have done? Ho promptly replied: "That is not a suppo, sittple case; the Government cannot dissolve itself; it is the creature of the people, and until tbe people had agreed by their votes to dissolve it, and it 'was accom plished in accordance ,4herewith, the Govern ment to which he had Sworn allegiance re mained, and - as long as it did exist - he should have adhered to it." ' Let the: counfry judge between him and them. .., ' • ALFRED HoucaT, Captain and Brovet.Colonel U. S.
