FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1868.
■ Press Prosecution in France.
'Without any' apprehension that we shall be
accused of harping too much upon ono string,
we now proceed to lay before-our readers the
passages,-In his newspaper article «Hn De
bat sui l’lnde au Parlement Anglais,” for
which Count de Montalembert has boon
hrongiit to trial by Napoleon 111. Whatever
the verdict,' the results of this prosecution
must ho of vital importance to France, and,
though In a minor degree, to tho whole circle
of civilization. If the Count be acquitted,
Louis Napoleon thereby receives a formida
ble rebuff | .if. he be condemned, farowell to
even . tho shadow of ■ ireoJournalism in
France —until another Revolution effect a
change . ■ . :
, This prosecution is essentially a perso
nal matter with the Emperor. Ho desires to
stand
“ AJike exempt
.From Ml affection and from alt contempt.’*
It would occupy more space than we can,
spare to-day, to'speculate upon Napoleon’s
line of conduct in case that the Montale'mbert
trial should terminate in acquittal of the ac-
He may rest satisfied with the failure,,
and pocket the affront,, like a wise man;, or
ho may be aggravated, by defeat, into further
measures to check the freedom of thought
and publication in France. On the other hand,
should Montalembert bo condemned, the
Emperor may either carry put the full power
of an iniquitbus law and transport his victim
to. Cayenne or Algeria, or may assume , the
virtue of magnanimity and moderation and
weaken bis position by wholly pardoning him,
or subjecting him to .only a 'nominal punish
ment. Ourrenders will see what important
consequences are Involved in this trial.’.
The Count is accused of something much
akin to constructive treason—which the An?
glican law wholly ignores now, but which
brought Aloeknon Sydney and Lord Wil
liam Russell to the.block .in the reign of
Charles the Second.' The charges are—lst,
attacks on the, principle of universal suffrage j
2d, attacks upon the respect due to the laws;
3d, excitement to hatred and contempt of the
Government of the Emperor; and, 4th, an at
tempt, to,disturb the public peace by exciting
the contempt and hatred of citizens against
each other—“all offences provided against
and punished by the Ist, 4th, and 7tb articles
of the dooreo of the 11th of Angnst, 1848, and
the Ist and 3d of tho law of the 27th of July,
1849.”' '
The following is a passage selected to show:
M. deMontalembert’s hatred and contempt
of the Government' i
“ No; it is a purer and a higher motive. It is
the effort of the athlete disarmed; who, as the ex*,
cited spectator of the arena where he shail no
more appear, applauds the exploits of more fortu*,
nate rivals, and utters for the. combatants a cry of
sympathy, lost but not extinguished amid the gen- 1
erous, olamors of the attentive crowd. I frankly
confess I am one of those people, and I add, that'
for this evil, which it is so little permitted now to;
suffer from, I have found a remedy. When I feel,
that the marasmus seizes mo, when my oars tin*
glo now with the buzzing of the chroniclers of.
ante-chambers, now with, the dih of the fanatics'
Who thinJc they are our masters, and of the hypo -!
cntes -who believe us to be their dupes—when 1 am\
stifling with the weight, of our atmosphere ,,
charged with servile and corrupting exhala
lions, I rush to breathe affair more pure , and to\
enjoy a life in free England.” J| • ‘ K *
• Next, the prosecution finds in the* following
an attack on universal suffrage; j
«But I grant, if you pleaao, that nothing, abso-j
lately nothing, in the institutions or political per* i
sonages of- at this day~'resembles the]
thinga .or men of whom-1 should desire to give in!
progressive minds whfoh regard Parliamefrttary
Government as advantageously replaced by uni
versal sufFroffe,- nor ‘the political optimists who
profess that Me supreme .victory of, Democracy
consists in abdicating in the hands of a, monarch
the exclusive direction of the foreigii and do
niestic affairs’of a country. 11
Again: . V ‘ :
* “At ’ this day England is in course of creating
in Australia new United States, whioh will attach
themselves, in turn, from the parent stem, in order
to beoomo a great nation, imbued from the very
oradle with the manly virtues and the glorious
liberties which are everywhere the heritage of the
Anglo-Celtic race, and whioh, let mo again affirm,
aro moro favorable to the propagation of Oatholio
truth and to the dignity of the priesthood than
any other system under the sun.
,; In Canada, a noble race, French and Catholic,
torn, unhappily, from our oountry, but remaining
French in heart and manners, owes to England
the having preserved, or.acquired, with perfect
religious liberty, all the political and municipal
liberties which France has repudiated. She has
seen her population increased tenfold in less than
a century, and she is about' to beoomo the basis
of a new Confederation, which, from the mouth of
the Oregon to the St. li*wreitoe,.wiU one day be
the rivai.or tho associate of the groat American
Confederation. All this is forgotten, disregarded,
dr calumniated by oortain Royalist and Catholic
writers, who eaoh day pour out the floods of their
venom on the grandeur arid the freedom of Eng
land ; strange and ungrateful Royalists, who
forget that England 1b tho only oountry in Eu
ropowhero tho prostige of royalty has remained
undiminUhed for nearly two centuries;'Me only
country* also, which * has offered an inviolable
shelter to the august exiles of France, and that
has lavished with unexamptod munificence its
succor on the emigrant French nobility and the
Frenoh olorgy proscribed for refusing to enter into
a compromise with sohism; Catholics, still more
strange, who do not fear to endanger not only all
tho rightß of justice and of truth, but tho very
interests of the ohuroh, by persisting in establish
ing a radical hostility between the cause of Catho
licism And the free prosperity of the. vastest em
pire now existing in the world, and where every
oonquest ovor barbarism opens Immense prospects
to the proaoking of tho Gospol and to tho exten
sion of tho Roman hierarchy.”
Hero is another indicted passage, selected
by the Frocureur-Imperlal, (tho “ District At
torney ” of France,) as containing an attack
on the laws:
. “ Wo have not only thb habits but the instinots
of these people, prudent and orderly, but over as
minors, whq sometimes permit themsotves terrible
deviations, but who soon fall baok into olvio im
potence, when no one speaks but by order, or by
permission, under the salutary terror of a warn
ing from authority, however little he may have
the temerity to dlsaont from theido&s of authority,
or those of tho vulgar.”
And hero is what tho same accusatory pro
cess construes into an attack upon the Go
vernment: * »
“ Nothing, in my opinion, could better contri
bute to weaken-and bring into discredit the repre
sentative system, complicated and difficult to keep
in equilibrium as It is—as are, indeed, all the sys
tems proper for the sooioty whioh desires to main
tain the rights of intelligence ”
Universal suffrage, re-established by Louis
Natoleon, after tho coup d’itaty is presumed
to bo attacked here:
“In a word, moral foreo had been openly and
nobly preferred to matorial force by the organs of
a great people, who oan and who desire to con
duct their own afftrirs', whom nothing discourages
or frightons, who are sometimes deceived, but who
do not drivo to extremity mon or things; who, in
fnot, knowhow to arrange and repair all, without
being obliged to put themselves under tutelage,
or to seek for safety elsewhere than in their own
manly and intelligent energy
Lastly, we understand that the subjoined
extract implies excitement to hatred and
contempt of the Government:
« While these reflections wore heard around mo
I issued from that grand speotaolo (the Houfie of
Commons) deeply moved, and satisfied, as evory
man must bo who sees in a Government something
else besides an ante-chamber, and in a civilised
poople other than a flock, docile and indolent,
snbmithig to befleeced , and to be led out to pasture
,under the silent shadow of an enervating secu
rity. I felt myself more than ever attached to
the' liberal oonviotions and hopes whioh have al
ways animated, amid tho saddest phases of our
history, that select band of honest men whom de
ceptions and defeats havenover disheartened, and
who oven in exile, eVen on tho souffold, have ohe
riehed patriotism enough to believo that France
could, as well as England, support the reign
of law , of intelligence, and of liberty. Noble
faith! well worthy of inspiring oourage under
tho most painful sacrifices, and which, though be
trayed by fortunes deserted by the crowd, and
insulted oy cowards, still maintains Us invinci
ble empire over proud souls and generous
spirits
The above passages are those, we learn from

Neither branch of Congress being in session to*
day, there is time for reflootlon upon the message
—the future business of the session—and the
Presidential campaign.' ’* ' ' ' * ’ ■
There are few members of the Rouse who have.
not already sadly missed-two men who were' orna
ments of the lower branch of Congress last winter
—Quitman and Harris. -’ Bath were.men of mark,
of high position, and lofty character.- The quiet,
gentle manners of, Quitman won the.
of his bitterest political foes. Daring the.iong
night session which ended in the Grow and Keitt
set-to, Quitman sat as unoohoernedly as ever, as
unruffled; and he it was'who, with commendable
fairness, proposed a compromise which was ait.
once accepted by the opponents of the Admihlatra
tion'polioy. He was anoble, gallant old man, and
it will be bard to fill his place. \-
Harris was unlike him in some respects, but he
was a true soldier. He was courageous as a'lion,
always ready, for attaofe, and never under any cir
cumstances despondent. He was pale and thin,
and his voice "was so’ weak that's stranger upon
seeing him rise in his'seat would imagine him
physically incapable of a half-hoar speech. ' Bat
his artioulation was’ao distinct, and his influence
in the House so great, that ho was always heard
in every part of that vast apartment, and he made
a half dozen speeohes during the session, which
will rank among,,the very .best, made in Congress.
The House sadly misses him—all parties unite in
griof over his death. , ;
The ceremony of swearing In Mr. Heim to fill
the place of Glanoy Jones wag witnessed with a.
good deal -of onriofiity and interest ■ yesterday.-
There was good-hmnored laughter from all sides
of.the Hall, though a few gentlemen from your
State looked a little long-faced .and melancholy.;
It was but a specimen- ofr tbe result of the recent
elections, and, coming.rightupon the heels of the
President’s insane dofence of, Looompton, it was,
not without its significance./*,’ . , ,
The Territories'were balled for resolutions and
bills, before ’the adjournment, and to the gal*
lery-peoplo this was the signal for close attention.-
Oregon was balled,-when the t&U, rosy-faoed Gen-1
oral Lane aroso. Kansas .was oalled, but Parrot
was absent. Then New Mexico was .named,' when
a short, boylßb- figure rose, and delivered himself
of half a dozen resolutions. “ The Territory of.
Utah,” said' Colonel Orr, in his clear tones.. Half’
the strangers in the galleries roso instantaneously,;
and there was something of a commotion upon thoj
floor of the House even, and this was to gaze at}
“ the gentleman from Utah,” the patriarbhaTMr.l
Bernhiael. A thin, pale face, bent body, and mi;
innocent air,'give to this delegate more the. ap*|
pearanoe of on anchorite than a representative of,
a gensual religious seot. .. . •\
The action, of t the'House yesterday upon the-
ja hot- i
wtio is anArdent’ friend‘o/the'rbad, •
(doubtless of the'Northern route,) moved a reoon-,
strudtion of the committee, as he was bonvinoed that'-
with the present committee there was no ohance
of a report this winter. Curtis, of loWa’, howover,
defended 1 strongly the present committee; and the
motion of Mr. Billinghorst'fbil to .the ground. 1 It
oairaot be denied that the'heavy vote, against the
motion was ths general conyiotion in the minds of
members that it is utterly useless for Congress to
attempt the selection of a route at the, present
time; and os it is well known that, If left to the
President, ho wiil select the El Pare route, it will
fail altogether. Still, an attempt will bo made on
the part of the committee to agree upon something.
Possibly they will recommend two roads as the
only solution of thoir difficulties. Yvb.
Eetter from lowa*
[Correspondence of The Press.]
Council Bluffs, lowa, Nev. 23,
Winter has suddenly olosad upon ns, enthroned
in ail ita majesty. Seldom have we experienced
'weather so severe this early in the season. Though
somewhat formidable to the non-aoollmated, old
jpioneors regard it as a sure indication of a mild
•and dry winter; but little faith is reposed in the
‘predictions of the weather-wise, owing to the oa
prioious and changeful character of the elements
’during tho past year, wbiob often and painfully
reminds us of tho late political career and Ad
ministration of Mr. Buchanan. It would be diffi
cult to determine whioh has proved the greatest
plague. Over the former we claim no oontrol,
ana submit with philosophic composure to an un
avoidable destiny. The latter we shalUeave—as
wo are instructed not to speak evil of the ruler of
’our pe r pie—to lament his follies and heartless be
trayal of the friends who olevated him to his pre
sent position, iq his future retirement amid the
shades of Wheatland.
The late rejoioing in our oity—heretofore one of
the strongholds of the Administration—at the suc
cess of Mr. Dsuglas, shows tho intelligence, inde
pendence, and patriotic spirit of our oitiasens. .
To-day there is goneral rejoioing at the receipt
of the first reliable and satisfactory news we have
had from the Plattoe riser gold mines. Mr.
Keathm&n, one qf the party whioh left our -city
on a tour of discovery, in September last, has re
turned, bringing specimens of the precious metal
.and numerous letters to friends, looking with much
interest for this report. The company reached
the mines on the last .day of October, and immedb
ately engaged in building cabins and preparing
for winter, snow having fell to the depth of one*
foot. These letters all breathe the spirit of
contentment, and full confidence of success. A
large number of miners were making from
throo to twenty dollars per day, with no
other tools thanpiok, pan, and shovel. The ooun
try has been proapeotod to the extent of three
•hundred miles, and everywhere gold found in
sufficient quantities to create the belie! that these
mines are as rioh and extensive as those of Cali
fornia. From tho oharaoter of the gold before ns
we concludo that the fountainhead has not yet
been found. This “soaly stuff,” though very
fine, is but the washings from a source where it
exists in inexhaustible quantities.
• All doubts being now removed relative to the
existence of gold, numbers here are arranging
their affairs fob an early,start in the spring. A
company Is organised for an adventure to the
Blaok hills north of Laramie, whore thd metal
is heavier and more easily gathered than the scale
or leaf g<JM of the south. ...
In view of the facilities for reaching those mines
we expeot a rush in this direction in the spring,
similar to that to California in 1849. From Coun
cil Bluffs to Cherry oroek the distance oan be trav
elled in fifteen days with horses or mules. Mr. R.,
who arrived here to-day, oame through in eigh
teen days, showing conolusivoly the route aloDg
the north bankof the Platte to bo the most direot,
and the shortest yet discovered. The distanoe
from here via Fort Kearney is five hundred and
sixty-five miles, and oan be shortened, we are in
formed, by a littlo engineering, onehundred miles.
The streams are all bridged, save ono, whioh is
fordable. This route is well known to have the
best natural roads in tho world.
These aro indisputable faots, which cannot be
oontroverted. Provisions o; all kinds oan here be
had, and at very low priocs. Corn, 20 oents; po
tatoes, 20 cents per bushel; everything in propor
tion. IVo have a number of largo mercantile
houses, where all things nocessary for on outfit
can bo had at a small advance on Eastern prices
Not a few in your oity are pecuniarily interested
. in Gouneil Bluflj, having made investments in real
estate, in expectation o? rioh returnin the future.
For the encouragement of such I would say, they
will not be disappointed. The friends'of Council
Bluffs olalm for her tho moat commanding posi
tion on the Missouri slope. We can have no com
petitor for tho trade of one of the richest agrioul
tural regions in the world All travel to and from
North Nebraska must centre at Council Bluffs. AU
we want is a oonnootion with the East by railroad,
to build up a oity socond to none west of Chioago,
and this we have the prospeot of at an early day.
Work on the M. A M. R R , terminating at
Council Bluffs, has been commenced at this end of
the route, and is now progressing oastward satis-'
faotorily, in the direction of Des Moines. 1 Work,
we are assumed, within thirty days, will he com
menced in four other oounties on the line, giving
us the hope of tho completion of this great work
within two years, Whioh will accomplish for our
city and Central lowa what the Illinois Central
Road h&sdone for Chicago and Central Illinois.
Conventions will shortly be held at lowa City,
Des Moines, and Council Bluffs, todeliborate upon
the polioy of requiring aid from the S tate to com
plete the four great linos of road now in construo
• tiou across tho State. Though there is oppo
sition to this measure, it will doubtless bo oarriea
by it oXtbutbo’evident, to tho most eoporfieW
thinker, th&t tha golden ago—so often jirodioted
on tha dißOorory of gold in Oallfomia 'ahen g ld

Quite Cool.—Ono of the eoolest transac-
tions we have 'read for some time occurred in New
‘Haven, Mass!, a short'time since. A gentleman
iwhtie going home .one evening wes stopped, by two
‘men who demanded ten dollars. He told them he
'had not that amount about him, but they might have
all he had—which was but two dollar?—and if they
would oall at his shop the next day he would give
them the balance.. The man assaulted made the
best of his way home, congratulating himself upon
his escape from these desperadoes by the loss of so ’
small an amuint, supposing..of course, it was the
last he won la hear or them; to his astonish
ment, one of'the number called on him the next
day and demanded the remaining eight dollars.
The fellow got agood drubbing for his impudence.

beams thereof. The train was stopped and the
matter looked into. .The man had evidentlybeen
dead but a little while. It was inferred thgt the
man, while orossing the bridge, with the str*P of
his carpet-bag around his neck, stumbled and fell
He pitohed one side 5f tho. beam and the hag the
