The affairs of that Interesting settle
ment, under great difficulties and dis
eouragements, have been managed with a
discretion and energy, and l must say
all things considered-with asuccess which
authorize the most favorable differences
as to the capacity of the colored races for
self-government. 1t is about thirty years
since the settlement began, and | think it
must be allowed that its progress will
compare very fayorably with that of Vir-
ginia or Plymouth after an equal length
of time. They have established a well
organized constitution of republican gov
ernment. 1t is administered with ability.
The Courts of Justice are modelled after
our own. They have schools and church
es. The soil is tilled-the country is ex-
plored-the natives are civilized. The
slave trade is abolished, and friendly in
tercourse established with foreign powers,
and England and France have acknowl-
edged their independent sovereignity.-

A Bourbon i'm America.

In addition to the testimony published
last week, from review of an article in
Putnam's Magazin, to show that Rev.
Mr.. Williams; the Indian Missionary, is
a son of Louis XVI. of France, we will
add few collateral circumstances. from
The 1Iibatne'1
A gentleman, on returning from Eu-
rope, in an interview with Mr.. Williams
threw several Engravings on the table, at
the sight of one of which, and without
seeing the name, Williams was greatly
excited, and cried out, "Great God, l
know that face. 1t has haunted me thro
life" 1t proved to be the portrait of ST.
mon, the jailor of the Dauphin.
The names of all the other children of
his reputed mother are inscribed in the
Catholic Baptismal Register at Cagnawa-
ga, following SO closely at intervals of
two years between each, that Williams,
whose name does not occur, could scarce
ly have been her son.
In I848 Mr.. Belanger, French gen.
tleman who died at New Orleans, confess
sed on his death-bed that he was the per-
son who brought the Dauphin to this
country, and placed him among the Indi-
ans of the northern part of the State Of
New ork
A French gentleman, hearing the sto-
ry, read printed account of the Dauphin
to Williams, in which it was stated that
the jailer one day, being angry withss ssthe
child, snatched towel that was hanging
on nail, and drawing out the nail with
it, inflicted two wounds upon his face, one
over the left eye and the other on the
left side of the nose. On examining vii,
liams' face the scars were found on the
spots indicated in the memoir.
1t is stated that the Dauphin died oi
Scrofula, and that the disease was on his
knees, and the marks of Scrofula are
plainly visible on the knees of Mr.. vii.
: liams. -
The French Ambassador Genet &C.
knowledged in 1917, before DR.. Franci:
and others, that heiDauphin was alive il
this country.
/ Boxes of clothing and medals of Loui:
XVI, and Maria Antoinette were lef
with the child, one of which is still in Mr.
Williams possession.
Such are the prominent Tfacts in thi.
singular history, which, to say the least
is equal in interest to the Man in the Irol
Mask or Caspar Hauser.
The New York Sun pronounces th
story altogether absurd, and says tina
had the Dauphin been living, being th'
legitimate Sovereign of France, he woulc
have been produced by the royalists o
France on the abdication of Napoleon il
1914, or subsequently by Tallerrand
Metternieh or Messelrode. The Tribun
says,,th story seems incredible, and tn
whole question pivots on the story of Nj
Williams interview with the Prince d
Joinville, which needs corroboration.--

THEfsCorYRTGHr QUEsTIoN.-THE TRIBUNE
AND THE TMEs.-The philosophers of the ITi-
June, and the doughty little blue stockings Of
the Times, have got into "a very pretty quar-
rel. as it stands" on the copyright question.
The philosophers say that while Master Ray
mond was in u disntcrested position he was
mighty powerful advocate of an international
copyright but now that he has become en-
poyee of the Harpers. he is but the instrument
of his employers and therefore disqualified to
sit in judgment upon the question. Master
Raymond, rctorts upon the Tribune phi
losophers that his connection with the Harpers
is not the tbing--his arguments, his reasons
against the copyright are the questions at issue.
Meet them if you can. And then he says,
substantially, that the Tribune philosophers,
who were ready to give an opinion on the cura-
tive properties Of Watts Nervous Antidote for
ten dollars, and who are up to their eyes in
such speculatons as New Jersey zinc, Lake
Superior copper. and Grass Valley quartz
mining, are not exactly the men to pronounce
sentence upon an employee Of the Harpers.
Now, we are somewhat at a loss 70

controversy the venerable philosopher, seek

ing to turn an honest penny upon q rebel
lion in Ireland, or Hungarian bonds, or zinc or
copper stocks, or quack medicines, or anything
that may turn up; or the man Of the Times
whose paper, pen, and brains are interested
in the Harpers. The Tribune spectators,
however, as far as the main question. is
concerned, have, undoubtedly, for once, the
simple elementary principle of honesty and the
golden rule as the basis Of their arguments.
Nor can there be much sympathy of feeling
among our literati with the deserter from the
common cause. under protection of the common
enemy. Still it is painful to see the greater
and the lesser Ajax Of Sewardism thus clashing
together, Notwithstanding they prove against
each other nearly all that has been charged
against them by the Satanic press.

minding the workmen Of their power, and the
injustice that il done them, and conclude the
homily with mock appeal to their forbesrance.
Such demagogues are the enemies Of the
whole community; the enemies of men Of pro-
perty, whose houses they would goad mob of
hungry men to sack-the enemies Of the ope-
ratives, whom they would lead on from VIC
lence to crime, from robbery to murder and
starvation.
We entreat the workmen to believe that the
world is not so radically bad that it would be
mercy to destroy it. There is much good. much
justice honesty of purpose, and manliness of
design, to be found in it. Evils, we know, beset
humanity in every shape; and not the least Of
these is the rant of knaves and maniacs whose
mouths we cannot stop. But still, we venture
to say there are few wrongs in the world which
cannot be remedied, or very greatly alleviated,
by an honest endeavor, made in proper spirit,
and with becoming moderation.
In the case we are now considering, for ex-
ample, we have every reason to believe that a

figures Of the case, and showing the inadequacy

diately successful with the more enlightened
employers, and ultimately so with all. This
is the course which all true friends of the work
men will advise them to pursue. They should
act unitedly; and while they stand by each
other, never forget that both they and the en-
ployers are component parts of the same ma
shine, which cannot be injured without hurting
both.
Of systematical refusals, on the part of all
the workmen in any particular trade, to continue
to work on the same terms as before, we have
on many occasions, expressed our opinion. A
strike involves a cessation from labor, both on
the part of employers and employed-hence an
| absolute loss to both parties and to the commu-
nifty of the net value of their time. The coun-
try is loser of many thousands day when
ever strike takes place. This is misfortune,
which no true patriot will willingly bring about.
Again. the workrnen need not be told that if it
comes to test Of endurance between the en-
ployers and themselves, the former have by far
the better chance. The one loses money he can
spare-the other bread he must have. Fearful
odds against the operative!

A Coop ApPoINTMENT.--Among the various

particularly remembered as the agent appoint

portunity, in behalf of the United States, the
independence of Hungary. He is intimately
conversant with the mysteries and trickeries of

be Of great service to Secretary Marcy. In
