streets-in blood, in fire, in murder, in revolution
We are persuaded, also, that the best policy for
Louis Napoleon to have followed would have been
TO have retained the original elective franchise as
laid down by the constitution, and to have shaped
his foreign and domestic policy mere in accordance
with the French people. The great error of his
government, was the unpopular movement against
the Roman republic. He was urged 10 that
step by bad advisers and intriguers, partlsans
Of the fallen dynasties The present project
for the curtailment of the elective franchise
of the French people comes from the same in
triguers and is forced upon the unpractsed Presi-
dent by the same corrupt partlsans Their whole
policy is in the end TO destroy the popularity Of the
President with the French people, and lay the
foundation of the return of the Bourbons TO France.
But the attempt 10 eiiecuate such purpose
only bring about a terrible struggle. Ii seems
there is approaching furious explosion in the
French political system, which will far oatstrip the
horrible days of the first revolution under Robe
sphere. Nothing but universal suffrage, and the
gradual attainment by the ballot box of the reforms
required by the French peorle, can prevent out
burst, a terrible explosion, and the recurrence of
revolution and bloodshed in France. The present
rulers seem to have cast all prudence and all the
lessons of past experience and past times to the
dogs.

THE PORE AND THE JEws.-1he Eternal City il

THE PorE AND THE JEws.-1he Eternal City is
in very curious position. The Pope has returned
to his ancestral home but he has nothing in his
pocket, and Rothschild refuses to let him have any
more money. A thousand years ago, or even later
the boot would have been on the other leg-the
Jew would have been put into prison, have had
experience n the tender merces of the 1nquisition,
and would have been made to launch out his silver
and gold. All the powers of Chrstendom would
have been in the same position. To-day it Is very
different The Father of Holiness is the depen-
dent of the Jew, and Rothschild is the real Pope
and boss of all Europe. What revolution What
an awful revolution
The singular fact of the establishment os a re-
public in Rome for single day, or a single month,
shows what mighty revolution has been wrought
throughout Europe, in the last half century. Five
hundred years ago, the Pope could not have lost
dignity and supremacy, by running away for a
single hour; from the Eternal City. All the run
ming would have been the part of the prosecuted
Jews. The people would have thought that the
day of judgment had come, that they had heard in
the last thunder storm the trump of the archangel
and that he was coming through the clouds, sooner
than they would have believed that the sacred
Pontif could leave the home and heaven of his
power. A thunder storm at that PERIOD and under
such circumstances, would have seemed the roll
ing of the heavens together as scroll. To-day,
however, different state of mind exists The in
fallbility of the Pope has gone for ever, even in
Rome. The great mystery is dissolved, so far as
the Eternal City is concemed-and thunder storm
only stops the news over the wires for few hours.
There is one place, however, where the supre-
macy and infalbiiy of the Pope are still respected
where there is more real devotion and whole
ness of the pristine faith than in the old world. 1t
is in ST. Patrick's Cathedral in this city; and, as
the meddling and mischievous Mazzini is de-
termned to give the Pope rest, and as the Peter
pence is nearly all gone, and Rothschild holds
on TO his money bags, the best course for the Pope
TO take is TO come at once 10 this city in
the very next steamer. The Rothschds of
Wall street will honor his drafts to any rea-
sonable amount, particularly If they can have
complete dissolution for their manifold transgres-
sons in Erie Railroad and other fancies. Bishop
Hughes is also ready.

THE SOUTHERN ORGAN.-There was great cry
at Washington, a couple of weeks since, about a
newspaper TO be supported by the South. Every
thing was ready, and the compostors were setting
up the editorial articles. What has become of it |!

types. press, editors and publishers. When will

NICARAGUA TREATY PAssED--WHAT NExrl-If
our intelligence, which we received yesterday, from
Washington, be correct, the Nicaragua treaty has
passed by large majority, in the executive depart
ment of the Senate We have been constantly
prepared for this result, whatever may be the cha
acter the consequences of the provisions of this
treaty. The immediate prospect held out by this
arrangement possesses too much commercial i'm
portance, affecting the interests of this country, to
be delayed non-confirmed by the Senate of the
United States.
This is the most important treaty, and may lead
TO the most important change in the commercial
centres and currents of the whole world If a
canal large enough for the largest steamers be
excavated or rendered practicable through the
lakes of Nicaragua, and thus uniting the Pacific
with the Atlantic, steamers from London, Liver
pool and New York, can start from each of these
ports and reach in the most expeditions way, San
Francisco, or any other port of the Pacific. The
olizaton of such fact is revolution, constituting
Yew Nork on the Atlantic seaboard, the centre ofthe
commercial world, and Europe and China its right
and left wings. greaterrevouton than this has not
been presented to the world since the first vessel
sailed from Tyrus and Sydon, ages ago.
Again, if the treaty be confirmed by the United
States, there is every probability of its being
toned by the British government. With such
united confirmation, what is the next movement?
The propretors of the charter constituting eight
individuals, held under the laws of Nicaragua,
will at ence throw the matter into the shape of
stock, divided into shares, and send large amount
10 London, there TO be negotiated, and raise the
capital necessary to carry out their Objects and to
construct the canal in question. Sir Henry l..
Bulwer, the British ambassador at Washington,
has promised to some of the parties engaged in the
enterprise, that he could raise two-thirds of the
money required among the capitalists of London
alone. The probable amount necessary for the
construction of the canal, will vary from twenty to
twenty-five millions of dollars. If skiiful engineers
make favorable report as to the practcability of
the scheme, there will not be the lightest diff
Guilty IN raising the funds for the accomplishment
of such great and mighty project.
In the meantime, we understand that, TO hasten
the completion Of the canal, parties determined
to start steam line between New York and San
Francisco, by way of Nicaragua, crossing the 18TH
mus at the point in which it is only sixteen miles in
breadth, thus shortening the trip between the two
cities, nearly week less than what is required to
pass by the Isthmus of Panama Matters move rapid
ly in these wonderful days Mems minds are cleo
trcity in speed.

AdNiccs from California;

The steamships Crescent City, Philadelphia and
Ohio may arrive at any hour, with two weeks later
news from California. 1t is supposed that one or
two steamers left San Francisco on the 18th of
April, for Panama. Accounts from California will
be of interest to the commercial community.

TIE DEMOCRACY HARMoNIzING. We have been
quite amused of late, by the movements of the
democracy Of Tammany Hall. The efforts they
have made TO produce harmony in that discor-
dant locality rivals, almost, the leader of any band
Of any discordant orchestra in the country. After
two committees, both claiming full power and au-
thority-the Western and Wood committees, so
called-quarrelling with each other for months to-
gcther, they have at last aside their old instru
ments, and have begun full sized convention
organized in Tammany Hall. They have already
held the first session, and are now in a fair way
according TO all appearances, Of settling their fim
y quarrels and dividing and pocketing together the
spoils. (when they get them,) allowing due share
for each set.
The democracy, after all, are very curious, sem
sibc, practical sort of men. Like all shrewd
families, they quarrel among themselves when
there is nothing to be lost, but always ready to
make il up again when a chance occurs to gain
something by it, In order to save the honor Of the
two committees, the old Sachems were called
out merely for a show; and now under the feint of
obe,ing the voice OF the people, they 60 to work,
shake hands, and both parties become united, so as
to secure the spells at the coming elections.
One very conspicuous person who figures in all
these movements. Is the redoubtable capt hynders,
who seems TO have an oar in every wave, and a
finger in every pie. In fact, the renowned Captain
is a soft of One-Eyed Thompson among the democ-
racy Of Tammany Hall; one day, he sets them all
at loggcrhoads, then, next day. he harmonizes all,
bringing them together, uniting the discordant bits
Of WOOD and soldering them according to the latest
inventions of chemistry and science. We like the
democracy for their fun and philosoPhy-,he wings
are too demure, too earnest, and have too many
isnis in their brooches pockets

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS ORTIZ AND SoUTTI.-
Many of the mills in the manufacturing districts of
Virginia are stopping, and the Richmond journals
are bewailing this curtament of industry. So far
as we can learn, the same causes are operating in
Virginia as in Lowell and the manufacturing towns
in New England. The manufacturers are continu-
ally making experiments with labor, and are chop
ping and changing TO make large profits. Deter
mined TO get specific duties, if possible, they make
every cessation of labor, every discharge of the
operatives, the pretext of a necessity for in
creased tariff. 1t is stale game. 1t has been
tried too often TO succeed, for all these attempts to
give dark color TO the position of the factories in
order to influence Congress, will prove abortve.
Lowell and Lawrence may send on to Washington
any quantity of lobby members, to agitate and to
get up an excitement, but the object in view will
not be accomplished.
1t is very evident that the whole distress is
creation Of mere selfish designs for if the little
factories of the South can make money, the great
ones of the North can, at least, save themselves
from loss In Alabama, Georgia, North Ca
rolna, and Ohio there is no grumblng. Bu-
siness is quite fourshing. New cotton mills
are built every month end those in operation
throw off their usual amount of fabrics If there
were any true cause of complaint, these would
suffer equally with the Northern States. No, the
whole outcry is raised by those who have COM
bined to furnish facts upon which to make bold
demand for increased duties and during the last
winter the mills have been kept running night and
day throughout New England SO that the opera
tives might be discharged, for an effect upon Con-
gress, without diminishing the stock of goods ne
cessary TO supply the natural demand. There are
SEINE long-headed philosophers in Massachusetts,,
but they cannot pull the wool over everybody's
eyes. We know where they are.
