THE EMPIRE INCLUDES A PRlNCI-
PIE = NAPOLEON DINAsTY-RELUC-
LANCE OF RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, AND
AUSTRIA TO ACKNOwLEDGE IT.

sFEECH OF GENERAL ST. AHNAUD,
We said few words yesterday in regard to
the effects produced by the re-restablishment
of the Empire as far as the suppressed state Of
public opinion in France allowed parties TO
speak out We are now going to say few
words in reference TO the effect Of that event
upon foreign cabinets.
The Empire was not an isolated idea in the
mind of Louis Napoleon, referring only to his
individuality. It was besides, the foundation
of principle, having at its basis new
dnasty. To know the importance justly at
tached to such title, we have only TO cast
q glance upon the map of Europe, and we
will see that governments are actuated by the
selfpreservation of dynastical rights, and that
people are governed, and political acts per.
cessity for Louis Napoleon's making his title
available TO the great family of kings, and to
enforce his claims to this title. In imitation
of his uncle, whom he is aping in every one
Of his acts, he sets forth his dinastical preten-
tons, and takes the name of Napoleon the III.
Such pretensions were not made without ex.
citing the bile of the Houses Of Hapsburg and
Romanof, which protested very strongly against
il. In their opinion the dinasty Of Napoleon the
Great ended with him upon the rock Of St,
Helena. Napoleon the ii, his son, was, it is
true, constitutionally appointed Emperor of the
French by the two houses, on the 23d of June,
1875 but he never was acknowledged by any
foreign court, and this want Of formality was
deemed sufficient to set at naught the right Of
Louis Napoleon to the title Of Napoleon the
III. Besides this, the Emperor Of Russia pro-
tested against the principle.of national sover.

Important Decision.

PHILADELPHIA, December 22--Justice Black, of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, has given a
decision in several cases from Allegheny county,
where an alderman had fined tavern-keepers fifty
dollars for selling liquor on the Sabbath. The
defendants claimed the right Of trial by jury deny
ing the Jurisdiction of the alderman The decision
affirmed the judgment of the magistrate, holding
that such cases were not suits at common law, but
criminal proceedings under special act. All the
other judges agreed with this decision except
Judge Lewis, who contended against the whole
principle ofsummary conviction as invasion Of
the right OF trial by jury.

MAN was hung by the heels, on the night of
the 4th instant, in Chicago. milkman who was
coming into the city early on the morning Of the
9th, says the Tribune of that city, saw man
hanging by one of his heels from the fence of the
Catholic Cemetery on the north side. On APP
preaching him he was found to be dead. His face
had turned perfectly black. On examination, it
was discovered that he had apparently been in
the cemetery, and was attempting to climb the
fence, when he slipped and caught one foot be-
tween two Of the pickets OF the fence. His strug-
giles TO release himself must have been desperate.
He had torn of his coat and vest apparently by
pulling them over his head. When discovered,
he had the appearance Of having been dead sew
eral hours.

CARD OF HON. w. A. RICHARDSON.

We publish below a card from the Hon. VIM.
A. Richardson, of Illinois, refuting certain
false rumors that have been circulated in re.
gard to him. All who know Colonel Richard
SON, know full well that he is not the man to
wear DISCUSSES, to court isms, or to abandon
the principles Of his party. 1t is in vain for
the opponents of the Nebraska bill to endeavor
to produce the impression that the Nebraska
bill, Of which he was one Of the ablest and
most efficient advocates, had nothing 10 do
with his reelection. Equally untrue is the
charge that he owes his election to the new
secret society that has sprung up. he de-
nounced and de6ed them all through his can
vass, and his election was as much defeat Of
them as it was triumph of the principles Of
the Nebraska bill.
CARD.
A friend has called my attention to the fol-
lowing, from the Southern nlinoisian, paper
published at Shawneetowp, Illinois:
Richardson, Of the Quincy district, it is re-
ported, joined the Know-nothings just before
the election, and by their votes was reelected
to Congress. Further: that in Quincy among
the foreigners he abused the order in unmea-
sured terms"
am informed that similar statements have
been made in the Know-nothing and Abolition
papers in and out Of Illinois. II is false that
/ "ioined the Know-nothings Just before the
election or at any other time. II is false that
was reelected to Congress by their votes.
1t is true that / denounced the order in
Quincy before one Of the largest assemblages
that ever congregated in that city, composed Of
natives and Know-nothings, as well as foreign
ers.
In order that this Islander may be put at rest
forever, propose to call the attention of the pub
lie to facts and figures, that they may see what
credit is due to statements and charges made
by the Knownothing and Abolition papers.
Governor Moore was, at the late election, the
Nebraska candidate for State treasurer of Hi
nois. Governor Moore was born in England.
/ presume the Know.nothings will not claim
that they elected or voted for him and yet he
received in my district forty-three votes more
than l did. That there may be no mistake
about the matter, have procured the official
vote for each in every county in the district !;

THE INTERNAL MACHINE CASE AT CINCINNATI
The trial Of Arrison for the murder Of Allison
and his wife at Cincinnati has just been con-
cluded, and the case given TO the jury. The tes-
timony seems TO fasten upon Arrison the fact
that the box which concealed the torpedo by
which the murder was committed was made for
him. The workmen who made the box identified
the pieces, and Arrison as the person who re-
ceived the box; and this evidence is further
strengthened by the fact. as proven; that the box
being originally too short for the purpose for which
it was intended, Arrison returned 10 get the ends
gorged. Another witness testifes that he saw
Arrison working at the box, and he had not suff-
cient command of tools to succeed This witness
was called upon 10 assist; he also Identifies the
portions of the box at the hospital, as belonging
TO the box upon which he saw Arrison at work,
and upon which he assisted. The alteration
made by this witness is supposed by him TO be the
place in which the cock of the pistol worked.
Other witnesses establish the fact that fight oc-
CURED between Arrison and Allison, and that Ar
rison afterwards threatened the life of Allison.
Since the above was put in type the telegraph
announces that Arrison has been convicted Of
murder in the first degree,-Batimore american.
