Napoleon B0naparte and the Troubles In

Napoleon Bonaparte commenced by reading his letter
to the electors. He denounced the men who compose
the Club of the Rue dc Potiers whom he denominated
renegades and cowards and declared that the name
Of any candidate proposed by such people ought to be-
object Of execraton. He rejected the mputa-
ton cast him of selfish motives for his opposition to
the ministry. He admitted he ambitious, but it
was the ambition of serving his country whchinauenced

whom he then requested, in the blandest manner
imaginable, TO give his evidence particular ia
vor, 10 whom, he did not mention, but we suppose
that it intended as a special favor to Beeize-
bub, or Mahomet the Prophet. The extreme cOnde-
scension of the Judge was met by equal condescen-
sion on the part Of Mr.. Forests friend. According
ly, at the proper time, the gentleman thus summon
ed, attended by Mr.. Sickels, his counsel, knock
ed at the door of the secret tribunal, and waited
upon the Judge in the midst of his important inves
tigation into the lamentable affair. Hereupon, the
examination commenced; but at the very first in
terrogatory, Mr.. Sickels interposed objection,
denying that Judge Edmonds possessed any legal
authority in the premises. The Judge was firm in
his belief Of the legality of the procedure, but he
did not quote the law on the point, and reserves
his decision till some time before the middle of
next week.
While this singular proceeding is going on by
single Judge, in secret, and without any apparent
authority, it highly probable that the first Grand
Jury, to which body the matter properly belongs,
will institute the usual and legal measures,
for the purpose Of bringing the business be-
fore the proper tribunal. The conduct of
the Mayor and the authorities has been
consistent throughout. On the night of that bloody
massacre, when an active energy might have pre-
vented the efusion of blood, the Mayor fled from
the scene to the New York Hotel, and allowed
events to direct themselves in that channel which
we have had to deplore and now, when it is SO
necessary that the laws should be vindicated-that
the roiters who led to the massacre of twenty
three citizens, and the woundng and manning of
fifty-one others, should be brought to justlce-we
see the Mayor abandoning the investigation, and
placing it in the hands Of single Judge, who is
ordered to hold secret tribunal without authority,
without law, and without constitutional right.
And, as if to crown the folly, impudence, and
wickedness of the whole scene, we see the Board
of Aldermen passing resolutions, by large ma
jority approving the conduct of the Mayor and
the police, by whose incapacity and negligence
that bloody massacre was brought about. The
disgraceful character OF the procedure of the
authorities has thus received the last finishing
touch, in the effort to prevent, by secret investi
cation, the action of the only legitimate tribunal
Grand Jury of the county. To that bodywe look
for searching inquiry into the whole business, SO
that the guilty may be brought to punishment, and
some of the disgrace wiped away with which this
business has covered republican institutions and
republican magistracy, In the eyes of all Christen-
dom.

ITALY AND THE PoPE.-The unhappy condition OF
the Pope, and the dangerous position of Rome
and, indeed, of all Italy-ought to awaken the real
sympathes Of all true patriots in this community.
Towards his Holiness we have the most benevo-
lent feelings We estimate his virtues as highly as
any of his most ardent admirers on either side of
the Atlantic. We wish to see HIM restored to all
those regular functions, spiritual and moral, which
he claims as the successor of ST. Peter. 1t is well
known that st. Peter-who was, at least as able
and as patriotic man as Plus the Ninth, and a
good statesman, too, though he did commit some
mistakes, such, for instance as cutting off the ear
of the servant Of the high priest-claimed only
spiritual authority We are in favor of the restora-
ton of the Pope to his spiritual dominion, and the
enjoyment Of all that he can legitimately claim as
the successo of st. Peter-and that is all. The
Roman people also have rights, which must be re.
spected and maintained. We wish, indeed, to see
the practical application Of the maxim of the great
founder of Christianity" Render unto Caesar the
things which are Cesar's, and unto God the things
which are Gods" We would, in that spirit, say
Render unto the Pope the spiritual things which
legitimatey belong to him, and render unto the
Roman people the political and civil rights oil. a
free, intelligent, and progressive people.
With these views, we think it is incumbent upon
the Catholics and enlightened Protestants of this
great city, which may be regarded as the leading
gas-lights of liberty for the whole world, to hold
a public meeting soon, for the purpose Of extend
ing sympathy and aid alike to the Pope and the
people Of Italy In this movement we have no doubt
that his eminence, Archbishop Hughes, although
he might have some slight qualms of conscience
at first, would unite and relnquish all those I'M
tenable claims to the restoration of the Pope to
temporal dominion. Who will join this movement
and subscribe from four to five hundred dollars
piece? Will our socialist contemporaries, who
have so great and so inordinate love for the
Catholics, particularly little time before the
election?

HARnANUs BLEEKER.

We learn from the New York papers
that the Hon. HARTMAN BLEEKER died on
Thursday night at his residence in Chapel
street, Albany, within few rods of the
place where he was born, just threescore
and ten years ago.
Mr.. BLEEKER was educated to the bar,
and was admitted to practice in 1901. He
became distinguished as member of the
Federal party, and was elected to repre-
sent his native city in the Congress Of the
United States in 1910. He served only
during single term. Sympathizing with
the feelings which attracted the leading
Federalists of the country to General
JACKSON and his successor, Mr.. BLEEK sR
was appointed by Mr.. VAN buren, charge
d'afaires to the Netherlands in 1899.
The appointment was highly honorable to
the administration, as well as the recip-
ient-for Mr.. BLEEKER spoke and wrote
the Dutch language with fluency, and was
gentleman of fine address and superior
accomplishments. The public sense of the
propriety Of selecting such man for such
post made this appointment acceptable
to all parties.
When on the point of re-embarking for
his native land, Mr.. BLEEKER married a
lady of the country of his mission, who
lives to lament his loss.

Letters from California to the 21st Of
May have been received in this city from
distinguished officer of the army sta

They represent that the excess of goods
beyond the demand is great, that labor is
still scarce and high, and that 1000 per
sons who came from Sonora are working
the mines on the San Joachim river.
A rumor had reached California that
Congress had established territorial GO

and Diplomatic Bill. Great embarra.s-

of the territory if it should turn out that
the rumor was false, and that Congress
had failed to legislate on the subject

rHE BLACkBURs LETTER.

The Union AYERS that it did not frsl
publish the Blackburn letter, as was stated
in the Republic of Saturday. We hasten
to make the correction. The statement
appeared in the news-department of this
journal, and did not fall under the eye OF
the editors.
TO have been accused of the first publ
cation of the Blackburn letter, the Union
very properly resents as an insult, and ex-
hausts all the black words in the dictionary
in abusing the Republic for the libel. And
yet the Union attributes the first publica-
ton of it to the "Peunsyluanian," which
it styles one of the ablest, most respect
able, and best conducted journals in the
United States Our horrible libel consists
in charging the Union, by inadvertence,
with what was done by the PennsyIua-
MAN.
The gist of the paragraph was, that DR..
Blackburn denied having written the letter
attributed to him. If he wrote no such
letter, the letter that appeared in the
Union was forgery; our paragraph did
not charge the Union with committing the
forgery.
In justice to the Pennsylvania we feel
constrained to add, that if the information
we have in regard to DR.. Blackburn is
correct, it is not of much consequence
whether he wrote the letter in question or
not. A correspondent writes us from
Knoxville that the doctor came to that
village just before the last Presidential
election, that he was Cass man at that
time, and that he made himself very busy
in electioneering against General TAYLOR.
He adds: "The Democrats are more dis
gusted with him than the Wings, and rid
icule him more. He wrote the letter to
Lippard for notoriety, and nothing else"
We congratulate the Union on the bril-
liant success of the great new coalition
opposition party on the proscriptive plat
form. With Lippard and Blackburn fol
leaders, and the Union for their organ, we
think they cannot fail to drive an immense
business.

Telsgraphic False Reports.

"To lie like tombstone" is an old adage, and it
is matter Of regret that to lie like newspaper has
some currency. 1t is, however, beyond all doubt,
precedence to telegraphic reports and dispatches.
This has recently been peculiarly evident the wires
seeming to vie not only in speed but mendacity.
We shall cite few instances
Mrs. Madison's death was published by tele-
graph in the north, south, east, and west, three
days before it occurred.
Mr.. Clay was announced az dead from Cincn-
natl. He is not, it is certain; for he has just writ
ten letter to the Cleveland Free.Soil Convention
Hon. Alexander Stephens was reported to be
dead. 1t is not So He is abou, to be elected to
Congress-
In Montreal the death of General Scott was pub
ished, and long article appeared lamenting it,
and treating it as great calamity to the United
States So il would be, but the old general has not
the slightest idea of making the last march for
twenty years.
These are but a few instances, and prove that
every thing man makes or NEEDLES with he inocu-
ates with his own vices. Even the heavenly spark
that made Dr. Franklin immortal, and kite-Aying a
classical amusement has been contaminated, and lies
like ordinary type-metal and printersink. Professor
Morses patent is not perfect, and he must attempt
to Undue his magnet with the principle of truth.

a procession in commemoradon, portion of the
members of which armed themselves most impro-
perly, and marched in battle array through the city
green arch had been erected over one of the prn-
cipa streets by persons of opposite sentiments,
which the Orangemen marched under, without in
terferng with it. The mayor of the city, however,
proceeded to remove it, and while in the act of do
ing SO was struck by stone. From this time the ex-
element increased, skirmish ensued, blood was
shed, and the difficulty was only slayed by the ar
rival of troops from the garrison. Much life was
lost. The troops, though on the ground, did not
act The excitement by no means allayed, and
the Lieutenant Governor and the law officers had
come from Frederick for the purpose of insttutip,,
