been described as uncommonly joyous and happy; ‘‘and
the book has therefore been named Sunshine, in order

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1868.
Count de Montalembert’s Trial.
What ia called the trial of M. de Mohta
lekbebt took place in a little room in Faria,
on the 24th N ovomber, not before a judge and
jnry, bat befole fonr petty judges, not equal
in status to the Folice Magistrates of London.
There was no jury. The jadgcß, removable
at pleaaure, are tbe creatures of the Govern
ment. There was no jnatlce, no fair play,
nothing like the law which we ahould look for
in a trial here.
Two men were accused. One, the gcrant,
or responsible editor of the Correspondant, in
which waa published an article written by the
other, M. de Mo.vrAr.EsniKßT. One admitted
the pnblishingi tho other owned the author
ship. Consequently, no witnesses were exa
mined. None? Oh, wo had forgotten. The
accused were examined as witnesses to convict
themselves.
The accusation was for writing and publish
ing an article in which England was praised—
the Inference being that there was a dispar
agement of France, by comparison and con
trast. Just as if we should write, « Geoe.oe
Washington was an unselfish patriot,” and
Mr. Attorney General Black should bring us
to trial, for attacking Jakes 800 ban ah —by
contrast! M. de Montalehbebt was closely
examined, by the Jndgos, as to what he meant
in the various passages of the article picked
out for prosecution, and overy attempt was
made to conviot him, out of his own month.
Tho Editor was examined. The Procnrenr
Imperial (District Attorney, in fact,) made a
speech vchomontly abusing the accused, in
which he wound np with the odd peroration,
that M. de Montalehbebt had “ laid France
prostrate at the feet of England: yen have
Struck Franpo in the face; yes, struck her ia
the face—unworthily struck her in the face.”
M. Bebbyeb spoke ably and at mnch
length for the Oonnt. The Procnreur Impe
rial gave a fifteen-minutes answer to M. Beb
bteb, and was replied to at soiqe length and
much force, by M. Dppaube, for tho accqsed
editor. Tho Judges retirodfor an hour,and re
turned with a verdict of guilty on throe charges
out of four. They sentenced him, M. de Mon
talembebt, to a fine of 9,000 francs and six
months imprisonment, and M. Dqdniol to a
fine ot 1,000 francs and one month impris
onment, both prisoners to pay tho costs of the
trial. M. de Montalehqert, it was said,
would appeal to a higher tribunal.
Six-mfanths imprisonment, with payment
of the fine and costs, is not very much for a
man to suffer, though we should cheerfully
do without it ourselt. But there is a supple
ment which makes the mer» condemnation
very serious. What in France is called the
law of suspicious persons places MU. de !
Montalejibert and Douniol so much in the ,
power of Napoleon’s police that, at any mo- '
ment, with or without canse, they can be de
ported, without trial, without accusation,
without any notice, off to Cayenne or Algeria.
Therefore the oonviction involves the contin
gency of most serious consequences.
The appearance of M. Berryer as the ad
vocate of Count DB MoNTALEHBERT, is itself a
memorable thing. This man is undoubtedly
one of the most remarkable personagos in
Franco. We have repeatedly heard him plead,
and, if called upon to describe him, would say
that, as au advocate, he seemed tp unite in
himself the leading characteristics of three
great men, of three very different countries.
If John PmLPor Cueban, Thomas Eksxink,
and Baniel WEDBTEBconId be fused into one,
the" result would be something' ; greatly' re
sembling Antoinne Fiebre Berryer. Wo
allude to him, in this wise, simply os a great
lawyer. In politics, ho would have taken a
course opposite to that pursued by Cobban in
Ireland and Beskins in England, hut, po
litically as well as legally, he has ever con
tended for the' Liberty of the Press, as they
did. They were not only democratic, but
ultra-progressivo—moro anxious to throw
down institutions than gently and gradually
to repair the damages which time and circum
stance had made. On the contrary, Daniel
Webster's politics, allowing for the difference
of locality and government, were net unlike
those which Bebrter has always maintained—
the vindication of civil and religions liberty,
the maintenance of social order, the fair ad
ministration of justice, and, above all, the
Conservatism of the great political institutions
which bind all classes of citizons in defence of
the nation whoso children they are. If H.
Bebbyer be a “ Legitimist” in Franco, he
would have been a Conservative of the Daniel
Webster school, in this country.
Of all living lawyers, with the exception of
Lord Brououam, no man has been so com
pletely, so extensively mixed up, as a lawyer,
with political matters. But Brouoham, com
mencing as a man of Progress, has sobered
down into a rational, reforming Conservative,
while Bbrrter, so long the child and cham
pion of Legitimacy, appears now, when stand
ing almost on the threshold of his seventieth
year, as the defbnder of the rights of tho
citizen against the incursions of oppressive
Powor. The -course of professional duty has
led him into paths which might have appeared
widely divergent had not the rule existed that
a lawyer cannot well refuse to defend a client
who chooses to employ him. Thus, in 1816,
at the age of twenty-flvo, M. Bebbyer— albeit
one who, as a loyalist, had followed the fugi
tive Louis XVIII to Ghent—was one of the
counsel who defonded MnrshalNEY and Gene
rals Debelle and Oambronne for having
gone with Napoleon to Waterloo; eighteen
years later ho was tho champion of the
imprisoned Dnohess of Bebry; seven years
lator still, (in 1840,) he defended Louis Na
poleon, after the fiasco at Boulogne. In poli
tics, at least, he has been consistent. In 1830,
he ably maintained that Charles X was not
compelled to choose his Ministry from the
ranks of the Legislative majority which had
defeated the Polignac Administration; during
the reign of Louis Philippe, he defended
the assailed freedom of the press j in 1882,
he was tried and acquitted on a charge of com
plicity with tho designs of the Duohess o f
Berry against the Oitizen-King; in 1843, he
paid his “ loyal” respects to Henry V, (Count
be CnAMBORB,) at London; in 1848, when
the last Bovolution took place, he renewed
his personal adhesion, but felt that Franco
was Hnprepared to receive a Bourbon mo
narch i in 1860-1, when the Orleans party uni
ted with tho Ultras to curb the President, M.
Berbyer acted in earnest .with them, only
without personal heat; finally, in 1866, when
elected member of the French Academy, in
the inauguration speech which he had to deli
ver, he referred to the degradation of the
Lower Empire, which was supposed to allude
to France under Napoleon 111, and the Im
perial and imperious gentleman in question
angrily interdicted the publication of tho ora
tion, but was so discreet as to change bis mind
in twenty-four hours, and permit it to appear.
It was then that M. Berryer did what
scarcely any other man in France, at this day,
would dare to venture on. The custom has
always been that the new Academician should
present himself at Court, after his installation,
to receive, as it were, the personal sanction of
tho Sovereign. M. Berryer wrote to the
Emperor’s Secretary begging him to pse his
influence that the performance of this act of
fealty should bo dispensed with, as his politi
cal convictions did not allow him even to ap
pear as acknowledging the Imperial regime,
and the Emperor had the prudence to waivo
the ceremonial in his favor. Such is M.
Bebbyer— fearless, eloquent, and thoroughly
independent.
Of the speech which he made in defence of
Count DB Montalkmbert, scarcely any re
-1 cord remains. Reporting was not allowed in
tho Court in which he pleaded. The French
idea is that to report a political libel case, is
to give additional publicity to the libel itself.
About two hundred persons were present, in
' eluding the judges, the counsel on both Sides,
TWO CENTS.
the oflicers of the Court, and a few specta
tors, admitted by ticket. A spectator, de
scribing the scene in a London paper—the
Paris journals' merely give the sentence, with-"
out any details whatever—said: “ I have
heard all the most distinguished advocates of
the day in England, but I think I am not car
ried beyond the bounds of sober judgment by
the enthusiasm of the moment when I offer
the opinion that nene of them, In point of
eloquence of the highest order, are at all
comparable to either M. Berryeb or M. Du
yaurb. Berryer, quivering with contagious
passion, and yet never for a moment forgetting
the legal points of his case during a speech
of three honrs, was one of the finest sights I
ever saw in my lire. DorAuRE, regarded as a
mere lawyer, is probably now the greatest at
the French bar, but he is much more than a
mere lawyer. His severe logic and concen
tration remind me of the late Sir William
Follett, but he is muoh more eloquent, his
action is more varied and dignified, and he
has humor, which Follett had not.”
The Paris correspondent of the Times, one
of the most brilliant of all English journalists,
(he is an Irishman, by the way, his name is J.
B. O’MeAoheb, and his birth-place Killarney,)
thus describes this great lawyer i
“Yon are probably aware that in France M.
Berryer has been long considered by most people
“ ons of the greatest of French orators since the
time of Mirabeau. In person he is rather undo'r
than over (be middle size, bat his features are
fall of expression, and refleot all the fire and pas
flion whioh barn within him. There is something
frfotaatiog in his glanoe; and the look with
J*oioh he surveyed the Procureur seated on his
lofty benoh, as ho entered the court after a fow
absence, seemed to take the measure of
thatfunotlonary’s intellect. His whole person is
eloquent. The effect of hi. Berryer’s impassioned
rhetorio cannot be given by the most skilful short
hand-writer, for its foree lies la those qualities
which oannot be transferred to paper. Who oan
give the exquisite intonations of that rich and
melodious voice, or the graoeful energy of his
aotion ? That notion and that voioe are never so
muoh displayed as in the ffte of his'declamation.
Other orators may be interrupted by the applause
of their hearers, bat M. Berryer is listened to with
almost breathless silence, as if they feared to lose
even one note of that deep voioe, or miss one
single wave of that arm. His voioe is heard dis
tinctly, whether it be low or high ; and, when it
ceases, you long to hear it again, aqd hesitate by
the slightest movement to br*ak the spell. The
variety ofhls intonation eannotbe surpassed, whe
ther his words be simple and familiar, bold, or
rioh with ornament. In sarcasm he is powerful,
and his person swells under interruption.”
M. Dufaure, hero mentioned, defended M.
Douniol, tho gerant of the Correspondant . He
is second only to M. Berryer as an adYOoate,
and is a year older. In tho time of Louis
Philippe, be was Minister of Public Works,
under the doctrinaire Guizot, but afterwards
went into opposition and becamo a Liberal*
Under Louis Napoleon's Presidency, he
again became a Minister, but protested against
the coup d’etat of 1851, though be escaped
tho imprisonment to which other dissentients
wore subjected. Undoubtedly, ho did- bis
duty well on this last occasion.
Neither Berryer nor Dupaurb spoke from
prepared notes. ' Few European lawyers do.
Berryer's oration, evidently made on the mo
ment, (though the matter must have previously
matured in his mind,) occupied three honrs,
and was one bold, dashing, energetic flow
of eloquence. Dufaure, who occupied less
time, confined himself more to law and fact,
but is described as having been most eloquent
at times.
One curlons coincidence we must note, for'
the parallel occurs to onr recollection even
while we write these lines. In 1815, at the
commencement of bis forensic career, M.
Berryer declared, while defending General
Oambronne, put on trial for fighting with
Napoleon at Waterloo, (where he ledtheOld
Guard,) that “i{ was the daty of a general
to obey the Government de facto, and the
man to whom the treaty of Fontainebleau had
preserved the title and rights of a Sovereign.”
Bold words, ottered to the face of the restored
Bourbons) For these It. Berbyer was cited
before the Council of Advocates by tho Pro
curenr-Geneih], who asked only for a;simple
warning,which was pfononneed. Once again,
in November, 1858, at the recent trial, he
displayed equal boldness. ‘ He spoke of the
institutions which France had only lately lost,
and on saying that to affirm that France did
not now possess liberty was not an attach on the
Government, but merely Ike assertion of a no
torious and undeniable fact, the President of
the Court declared that he, the advocate, was
repeating at the bar the very offence with
which M. be Montalembert was charged.
Indignantly, then, M. Berryer insisted that
France had repudiated her own liberty—that
the Government boasted it had bartered Li
berty for Order, with the consent of the French
people; and that it could not be an offence, in
reason, to declare that Liberty does not now
exist. Bravo words, and true—yet how few
would have dared to ntter them, in that Court,
at that time.
Louis Napoleon seems to have lost his
bead, os they say in France. He has pro
voked a comparison between his own harsh
rale and the element sovereignty under which
liberty prevails in England, and the conse
quence may be very serious, much sooner than
any one now has reason to expect.
Deer on the Mountain—Romantic Inci
dent.—We learn, says the Shippenaburg (Pa.)
Newsy from persons from that vicinity, that large
herds of deer have been seen, and several killed,
on the South Mountain this season. A few days
gince, a gentleman residing near Oleversbarg, re
turning homo from the mountain, remarked to his
wife that, had she accompanied him thereto, she
oould have seen one of the most imposing sights
one oould witness —a herd of deer. She told him
“that if he would follow her to the'oeliar, she
would show him as flue a book as he had seen in
the mountain.” Accompanying her to the eellar,
he was surprised to find one of tho finest of the
herd, a large buck, which she had slain !. It ap
pears that in the early part of the evening she
heard the dogs on the premises keep up an unusual
noise, and pursuing them, she found that they were
“ worrying a large deer.” Seizing it by tho horns,
she called for a'Knife, whioh was hastily brought
her, when she dispatohed her oaptive. Numbers
repair to the settlements for food, whioh, we learn,
is very source on the mountain.
A Whole Family Poisoned.—A negro

in the ooffee pot The whole family, exoept Mr
H., who was not athome that morning, were taken
sick at the table. Dootors Gordon and Williams
were immediately galled in, and the lives of tho
family saved. Tho hoy was arrested on Saturday
night, and lodged in jail. —Rockingham (Pa.)

The Late Forgeries—Confession of-Pe
*s “~We have already given a condensed account
or the proceedings in the ea»e of Peterman and Myers,
who had their final hearing at the oQce of Recorder
Sneu on Saturday last, hut a brief sketch Peter
man’s history will not be amiss at the Present' time,
and we sincerely hope that their fate may be a timely
warning to many young meu who are being allured by
the same seductive baits that are held oat by the gilded
hells of our city. A few years since, Oeorge P. Peter
man was the possessor of an ample fortune, and was
looked up to as a very model of uprightness „ and .hep
nesty. He was the proprietor or an 7 extensive chair
manufactory >in Pecond street, below Coates, and by
dint of good management was realizing a handsome in
come; but while in the midst of his prosperity, be'was
Induced to visit one of the fashionable gambling
saloons, and' soon became so faicina&d that' he
spent his entire fortune, and became so much reduced
that he'was 'obliged to sell his stock for the payment
of his debts.
Thus reduced. Peterman was enabled, by dint of
hard Straggling, to collect enough money together to
start a small oigar store fn Poplar street, below Second.
In this place it was, that he took the second ttepr in
crime, where he perpetrated those extensive forgeries
which we have before noticed, and which have con
signed him to the feion’scsll. - •
Myers and Peterman were .visited at the Hoyamen.- _
sing Prison by their wives, and the interview between
them was exceedingly sfftdlrg.Mu were t?*r* r
and the remark of Peterman to his wife, that he was
iodeed guilty, but that she- ihonld, take-eare -of.tho
children and train them to beeome'honorable and use
ful citizens, deeply touched the keeper, who was a si
lent spectator of the painful aoene. On Sstordsyeven
ing, when the prisoners had. been committed by the
Recorder, io default of $2,Q00 bail each, Peterman w»a
questioned by Mr. Eneu as to the name -Of the friend
who would go his security. The reply was a truthful
one 44 Recorder, a few years sgo, when I had money,
and was spending it freely, I was surrounded by friends,
hut now in my guilt and mUfertune, I cannot see one
of them!” when Peterman was,removed from the of
fice, be wept l£e a child; soil there were few who saw
him who did. not feel truly sorry for his condition.
That he contemplated suicide was evident from the
fact that in his pockets was found a large quanlitv ot
arsenate, which was removed by the officers.
The cashier of the K-raaingtoo Bank had au interview
with Peterman at the exclusion of the hearing, and
asked him whether his family had any support. Ha
replied that his wife and nine children were at the point
of starvation, and that he did not know how soon they
would die. Tears were in the eyes ef the cashier, aa
he feelingly replied: ,( Make your mind easy, Peter
man, for they shall never want while I have the means
to provide for them ” That cashier has a true heart,
and God will bless the men whose noble deed is the
bright side to this brief reedrd of the course of crime—
gambling, forgery, and attempted suicide.
