LICIDE OF THE FILENCII MINIS ER.
On Wednesday last, N. Prevost Paradol, the
new Minister from France, landed in New
York; on Saturday he was presented to the
President ; at one o'clock this morning, in a fit
of temporary insanity, be shot himself through
The heart, The causes of his derangement are
not known, but it is known that he has been ill
from the fearful heat of the country ever since
te landed, and it is more than probable that
the agitating news from France has also
affected him.
The news of this dreadful tragedy will create
a profound sensation throughout this country
as well as France. M. Prevost-Paradol was
the first man of real ability that France has
sent here as her Minister since the time of tlie
IlevnNation. 'He - was aliberal Mau iu politics
and a true friend to the United States. He has
been a steady opponent or the personal govern
ment of Napoleon Third, and only gave in his
adhealai to hina aftef the concessions: made to
the people and the Legislature last autumn
.and winter. One cannot. help thinking that
:the'shock of finding the Emperor violating his
Implied pledges and making war on a trivial
pretext has had something to do with the
dreadful act he has committed.
We have so recently published sketches of
the life and career of the deceased Minister,
that we need not give one now. He was born
August Bth, 1829, so that he had not completed
his forty-first year. He was a widower, with
a daughter of about sixteen, and a - son about
twelve years, who both accompanied him to
this country. The sympathies of all our people
will be warmly offered to these children so
suddenly made orphans and in such a terrible
THE FEELING IN FRANCE
--There can be no doubt that the war and the
apprehension of a PrUssian invasion have caused
_quite an
." uprising" among the people of
France, and the Emperor will be sustained by
a large majority of the people. — Still the reports
sent by telegraph from Paris are not all to be
credited.- The press and the telegraph have
been put under the most rigid censorship, and
no-facts-are-allowedto go—abroad—that _might
seem to indicate want of harmony among the
whole people concerning the impending con
flict. A brief report of the anti-war speech by
Thiess was allowed to be sent, but it was
accompanied with the statement , that it had
caused the utmost indignation among all
classes.
The reports of the Tribune's London corres
pondent, Mr. G. W. Smalley, represent the
anti:war feeling in Paris as being very strong.
But Mr. Smalley is apt to exaggerate every
thing that has an anti-Napoleonic tendency.
He is a friend of Gustave Flourens, and sym
pathizes with all the Red Republican move
ments. Still there are indications from other
sources that the people are not a unit in favor
of the war. The ilerald's special London de_
spatches say that the peace party in Paris made
a riotous demonstration on Saturday night,
thousands of men marching through the streets,
waving white flags, and shouting " Tire In
.Paix !" The demonstration was put down by
the police, but at one time there was serious
danger of a collision with the troops. Other
disturbances of a similar kind, but not so
serious, are reported. Yesterday Henri Roche
fort's Marseillaise appeared for the first time
for several weeks, but it . was at once seized.
This shows that the authorities consider the
anti-war party formidable enough to be dan
gerous, and that it cannot be trusted with a
newspaper organ.
Our impression is that the Emperor has
gained in popularity since the troubles began.
If his arms are successful, this popularity will
be greatly increased. But if the army meets
with disaster, be will be blamed for it, and his
personal position will become critical. It is
different in Prussia, where there are no parties
against. the - Eing, and no aspirants for his .
throne. No one knows better than Napoleon
Third that a failure in this war will be ruinous
to him and his dynasty, and therefore_ it is that
he has not ventured to strike a blow suddenly
and without full preparation. The rnalcon_
tents would seize the first opportunity that a
reverse to the French arms would offer to break
out in insurrection, and the fickle people, now
apparently enthusiastic for the Emperor,would
join any other leader or party that would
promise to vindicate the honor of France.
THE FOURTH CONGRESISIONAL DIM
TitleT.
General Wm. B. Thomas selected a terribly
unpropitious time to open his campaign in the
Fourth District, on Tuesday night last.
With the thermometer ranging from 95 deg.
to 100 deg., very few people were likely to as
semble in mass meeting, to inaugurate the up
hill movement of an independent candidate for
Congress, in a district where the Republican
majority is rarely much less than three thou
sand.
If we are to judge by the toue'of General
Thomas's first, speech,. we fefir that that
gentleman will range all Republican newspa
pers that oppose his election as " Judge Kel
ley's organs;" and the "ring journals of the
RePublicaii,paity." We trust that he will have
the discrimination not to class the EVENING
BULLETIN in either of these categories, be
cause we express our earnest regret that he
has embarked in a political enterprise
w !lc oilers so little7T-Ifo-pe—cif—svc
cess, and which places him - 1 -in aflilia-
Lions which contradict the whole•political
record of Lis life.
Geller-41'1101nm is in all reßiecta i so far al
BULLETW
per - St - mai AttalitieSTare concerned; the equatof
Judge Kelley. In some important points he is
irobably his, superior. His, ,charicter for I*.r,._
sonal ' and official ' integritOilas never been
imyeached. His natural abilities are •,,good;
'his general judgment and common sense are
mature and sound. An original and advanced
Republican when the name: bore somewhatlof
reproach with it,„l6 — iecord, until now, has
been consistent and honorable. Although
without military treining, he was zealous
during the war to render such services as he
could, and the military ardor which he infused
into the regiment which he tommanded was
earnest and deep.
But General Themiis has grievouslydisart
pointed ids best friend by willingness Ito
seek , office through association with
the Democratic party,, and that, while still
claiming to 'be a Rejaublican. He bas
disappointed them far more by the
character of his opening speech, in which
he announces the programme of his cain
paign. It is not, as it should be,lhe speech of
a statesman, prepared to grapple with great
que . 4tions in the National Legislature, but
rather a stump oration, bidding for'-votes.
When General Thomas says that "legislation
should be, mainly for the poor, and not for the
rich, who can take care of themselves," he
adopts the cant of the commonest. demagogue.
He knows—better, perhaps, than the majority
of his very small audience—that such a
proposition is both dangerous and unsound.
He knows that no good citizen ran lend him
self to fostering class hostility and prejudice
without doing harm to the :State. Lie knoWs
that legislation is as essential for the
rich as for the poor, and that no man
can " take care of himself" in this country, ex
cept so far as his country's laws take care of
him. The sentiment - was as unworthy - of
General Thomas as it was unwise.
The attempt to drag the Chinese question
into the issues of the coming campaign, IVaS o t
precisdy the same spirit. General Thomas
bids for the votes of the trades'-unfonS,unqUes
tionably the most dangero'ns tyrannies now ex-
isting on this continent, by representing his
opponent as desirous of bringing labor down
to " six dollars per month," through the agency
of Chinese labor. Without going here into a
discussion of the Chinese question, it is
enough to say that General Thomas can
not possibly suppose . that ' his . opponent
could be guilty. of the suicidal folly of
committing himself to such a prope§ition.
He knows,—or if he does not, lie cer
tainly is not qualified to legislate upon the
questions of our political and social economy,
—that the introduction of Chinese or any other
foreign labor into this free country cannot pro
duce, 'by miy human possibility, that "dark
and gloomy Suture" 'for the labbring men of
Philadelphia, which be holds up to excite
their fears and to svin their votes.
The truth seems to be that General Thomas
is yet too Much of a Republican to adopt an
unqualified Democratic platform, while he is
too anxious for success to forego the .sort of
appeals which form the staple with which De
mocratic demagogues cram their 'lgnorant au
diences. And his . misfortune is that while he
is thus separathig himself - from the political
sympathy and support of his old associates
and friends, he has no reasonable
prospect of gaining the prize
in pursuit of which he has embarked. The
Republican majority in the Fourth District, in
1868, was 2,060. Judge Kelley ran 810 votes
behind his ticket, his majority being 1,859.
But this, it must be remembered, represents
the whole disaffected portion of Judge Kelley's
Republican constituency, and it will be more
than counterbalanced by the accession of the
colored vote.
We repeat our regret that a man like
General Thomas should have embarked in
this crusade, not as defenders, apologists or ad
mirers of his opponent, since his personal acts
have debarred us from any such position, but
because he has no sound platform upon which
to offer himself as an independent candidate,
and bedause such speeches as that of Tuesday,
which was no doubt a specimen of what
are to come, while they will not win him votes
enough to elect him, cannot fail to injure him
among those whose confidence and good
opinion he cannot disregard, or afford to lose.
MEETING OF COUNCILS
Mayor Fox has called a special meeting - of
City Councils for next Friday afternoon. He
desires a reconsideration of the ordinance al
lowing the Thirteenth and Fifteenth stredts
Railway Company to use Locust street, be
tween Broad and Fifteenth, as a stand for their
cars, his intention being to veto it. This is au
excellent thing for his Honor to do, and we
are happy to be able to agree with, him in
whatever objections he may have to a railroad
in a narrow street, which, on every night when
there is crowd at the Aeademy,of Music„is
filled with hacks that are of themselves enough
to imperil life, without the additional danger of
a line of street cars.
But there is another question which we hope
will be brought before Councils at this special
meeting, either by the Mayor in a message, 'or
by some intelligent member who has at heart
the peace, the honor and the good name of
Philadelphia. That question is the abolition
of the Volunteer Fire Department. The out
rageous scenes of last Sunday week are now
fresh in the public mind, and there ought to be
no delay in taking the first steps in the only
measure that can be relied on, to prevent the
recurrence of such scenes. The papers of
distant cities that are blessed with paid firemen,
are ridiculing Philadelphia, for so long tolerat
ing the nuisance they have abolished. The
reports that reached them of the riots of ten
days ago, caused the utmost astonishment
that such things could be, in a great American
city, when there was a remedy available that
bad proved to be a thorough one in so many
other cities,
The BriLLETIN has often called attention to
the fact that most of our incendiary fires and
alarms of fire, accompanied by disorder and
fighting, occurred on'Saturday night and Mon
day morning. On this subject, the /;edgei.: of
this morning says Baying examined our
files, we can find but four Saturday nights and
Sunday mornings for seven long months when
there were no fires. It is fearful to eontem
74iTate the reciTid, aiiii fibitiettej,witb -- what - Tegu= .
larity these unquestionable ac:s of incendiariern
recur in the dead of night on the eve of tile
Christian Sabbath. They come along with

seldom less than
tWo.fires and sometimes tilree.'i This is a ter
rible state of affairs, every one mast admit.
But the remedy for it• is not in appeals to, the
orelerlY and respectable firemen, or warnings to
the disorderly. That method may do for a
single Sunday, but the devilish spirit' would
break out on the next. No one pretends to
deny that the only real cure for all the evils
attendant on our fire system is to create a Paid
Fire Department, and we trust that the matter
wain taken into consideration at the special
meeting of Councils on Friday.
Manufactured ice, as we said\-yesterday, is
extensively used in several 'of the Southern
cities. The Louisiana Ice Manufacturing Com
pany furnishes an abundance of excellent ice
to the people of New Orleans, who are thus
made independent of a supply from,the,North.
The New Orleans Bee, of a late date, says:
" The advantage of being independent of North
ern Ice is now made manifest. 7 The 'pride of
this article has been raised in cconsequence, of
its scarcity, but the supply • ef , the !dOmestic
manufacture is inexhaustible. There is no
reason why we should• submit "to exorbitant
charges when we can obtain at -a' reasonable
price an article made at our own doors equal
to that which is Imported from other States."
The machines for this New Orleans company
were made in Philadelphia. Now , whY cannot
some of them be set up here, so that we may
be as "independent of Northern ice" as the
people of New Orleans?

Vertical's** Of the Death Of M. Pisradol.
WAsnixoTorit, ' July 20. The city wag
startled this morning by a report that ) M.,Pre'-
vost-Paradol, the new French Minister, had
committed suicide atan early hour this morn
ing by shooting himself through : the heart
The report proved to be well founded. The
following details of the sad affair have been
obtained from the only member of the .b . rech
Legation in this city,.and who,with the excep
tion of his own body-servant, was the last
person to hold . a. Conversation with M. Pri..-
vost-Paiadol. For two or
,three days it has
been noticed that M. Paradol was, not in good
health, the change in climate and the great re
sponsibility resting upon him in his new-nosi-
Lion, and his anxiety about the war news from
Europe, seeming to affect him both mentally
and physically. During yesterday, he attended
to his, business as usual, although appearing •
to be stifferingfroth the'exce mive. heat; which
clotidecbhis mind. Late yesterday afternoon
a member of the Legation called and was
with him for some time. He retired as usual
last night, and his servant noticed that his ac
tions were somewhat strange, bit still - be - , did
not suspect that he would attempt to take his
own life. At one o'clock this morning the
,servantwas'aroused by the report of a pistol,
and bearing_his name dolled by M. Paradol.
Arr .- Whig - at the latter'S roots, he found him
standing in his night clothes in the middle of
the room, quaking apparently with fear, the
servant supposing that the pistol had been
fired in an adjoining room, and that it had
frightened him.
M. Paradol took hold of his arm and told
him in a calm voice not to be alarmed. A
moment later he discovered blood on M.
Paradol's clothes. and then realized that the
Minister had shot himself. He was laid upon
the floor and Dr. JOhnson was summoned, but
found it impossible - to save his life, the ball
having penetrated the body at the lower edge
of the heart. At half-past one he died, having
tried ineffectually before death occurred to
afficulate and give some direction to MS ser
vant. This morning the coroner was notified,
and appeared and summoned a jury to hold an
inquest on the body at six o'clock this evening.
Neva of the Sad _Event Sent to IL Her-
thern,y.
Prevost-Faradol was about forty-one years ,
of age, al:0 only last week relieved M. Berthe
my
all French Minister here. The latter is in
New York and is expected to leave on the 1
French mai tra•amer u5- - diy. - .1. - 6.legram was
sent to him early this morning, and in case it
should reach M. Berthemy before the sailing
of the steamer, he is expected to postpone his
aPatfure — alid . :return'. Isere - to=morrow :-- - Pri:=7
vost-Paradol leaves a family of two:children,
a daughter of about sixteen years of age and
a son of twelve years of ago. These are at
Newport, having proceeded there only four
days ago, in charge of one of the Secretaries of
the French Legation.
[By the American Press Association.)
Suicide of M. Prevost-Paradol, the New
Frenenplialster.
WASHINGTON, July 20.—M. Prevost-Paradol
shot himself through the heart at one o'clock
this morning, at his residence, on New York
avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets.
Napoleon has been notified by telegraph,
and M. Berthemy, who is now in New York,
has been notified to return.
The body is being embalmed to be taken to
France.
No reason is yet assigned for the act, but it
is believed he had been contemplating the
deed for some time. He bad written letters
to members of his family foreshadowing such
intention.
The house in which M. Paradol lived is
located in a pleasant part of the city,in a good
neighborhood ; and agreeable society surround
ings. He was to have had the room occupied
by the late French Minister, but when he
arrived, M. Berthemy had not left, and he
leased this house. He was unsatisfied with
the jolace and was unable to rest well.
The hot weather 'depressed him, and the
news of the war, of which ho was not advised
until his arrival in New lork, had an unfor
tunate influence on his very nervous organiza
tion. A few days ago he wrote a letter which
he gave his valet, with strict orders not to
open it until a certain time, which, on being
opened this morning, disclosed the fact that
he had resolved on suidide.
His son and daughter were absent. They
went to Newport a few days ago. He retired
last night early—soon after seven oclock, and
seemed to be in his usual spirits, though com
plaining of the heat. He told his housemaid,
Mary, that the hot weather was killing him.
No persons were in the house but his valet
and the housemaid. The latter was asleep
and was awakened by the report of the pistol
with which her master had slain himself, and
rushing to his room, she found him stretched
Out dead, with a bullet through his heart. Dr.
W. P. Johnson was at once summoned and
made a hasty examination of the body, find
ing life extinct.
This is the second suicide that has occurred
in this house in the last ten years. In 1861,
just after the war broke out, an unfortunate
yming matt named Jones boarded there, who,
by a profligate course of life, ruined his
widowed mother, and in a fit of frenzy blew
his brains out in his mother's presence in the
parlor, in the middle of the day.
The house-maid told our retorter this morn
, ing that she knew there was something wrong
about the house as soon as she set foot in it.
That she was unable to sleep. That she heard
people walking, &., the usual impres
sions that fasten on suspicious minds. She
told her master she did 'not like the atmos
phere of the place, and, then to her astonish
ment he too was impressed with similar ideas.
She then assumed a cheerful aspect
and told him they would get along as
best they could until • a more agreeable
placeemild be found, and he acquiesped, re
marking,." You are a good - cheerful girl, and
always-make the bright side appear." But it
would be inferred that Mr. Paradol did not
Wail to the house,•for all the boxes, of
luggage brought from... Paris• remained un
packed during the day he remained there, ex

In his letter to his valet he left:orders for
him to tak'e the children back.-to Paris to join
their shiter,, aged, fifteen years, whom he left
at school there..

M. Paradol was a man of ordinary hei g ht , „l
rather stout, dark , complexioned, anti a l
rather imposing appearance, and about fortyl
years old:
He purchased a pair !of small pistols yester-r

in tOWII. °
The room in which Paradolkilled•himself is
a large,- comfortable • chamber,. handsomely
furnished, on the second floor. M. Parade'
stood between the mantel pier and the centre
of the room in his wrapper and slippers. and;
when found, was lying on his back near the
centre of the room, one leg drawn under him.
His left arm was retched out over his head.
The pistol was 'under his feet and blood was
oozing slowly from a wound directly over the
region of the heart. • ; --

ENGUSII BLIINDEISING.
A late number of the .London Pill Mali Ga
zette has Mr: William R. Leeds already elected
Sheriff of Philadelphia.' He is,' of Course; ' as'
good as elected," but not in the manner de
-scribed in the Gazette, which is as follows :
' The process of electing the High Sheriff of
Philadelphia seems to be conducted with a
good deal of vigor and animation. At a meet
' ing recently held in that city for the phrpose
Uf eleeting - to:this - ollitoi'the proceedings - were --
commenced by David Lane, the representa
tive of one of the candidates, jumping on to the
platform,and being "in a twi n k ling" nominated
for temporary chairman." This nomination
Was ratified by a portion of the delegates, and
Lane, pulling _a hammer from his pocket,
began calling:to order. 'Aportion. of the
thence responded to this appeal by nominating
'William Elliott, the representative of another
candidate, Bingham, as temporary chairman,
who immediately sprang upon the stage and
entered on his functions. He was followed by
H. H. K. Elliott, the champion of a third
candidate named Berry. There were three
chairmen, and a -scene. of great excitement
followed ; a struggle being hotly waged for the
hammer, which, after various turns of for
tune, remained in the hands of . Elliott,
the Bingbamite. The whole . Convention
now attempted to-get on the stage, the desk
was overturned, the furniture smashed and
the chandelier knocked to pieces. Elliott then
attempted to appoint secretaries, but while
declaring their names was swept away by a
charge of his adversaries, and his coat ripped
up the back to the collar. -He was replaced
on the platform by his frietids, and declared
that it was for the interest of the Republic
- that these scenes should - cease ; those who
want me for temporary organization say Aye."
Partial confidence being expressed by the
meeting in his powers of organ
ization. he again commenced his duties,
-and after a little More free fighting
his adversaries were swept from the room,and
he remained master of the'platform, -His can
didate, however, was not elected, 'but instead
of him one : William R. Leeds, the only man
who appears to have remained quiet, obtained
the coveted position. The office of High.
