.e;es the promoters Of rebellion, the meters OF dis
,ser-deemed by the people and the authorities dan
rerous 10 the public peace
The names and occupations OF thousands OF the
,epublicans imprisoned and transported could be
cited to prove the flsehood Of that accusation.
Here !. one fact cited by NJ. Schalcher, an exiled
representative Of the people, out of scores of SINH
lar ones. In the single township Of Villeneuye,
Densrtment of LOt-et-GarOnne, the arrests in
cluded twelve landhOlders, among them Brondeau,
i the Mayor; Lacomb, Municipal Counselor; Du-
breul, President of the Tribunal of Commerce;
Phillips, whose estate was valued at 100000
francs; FIVE merchants and brokers, editor, one
literary man, two schOolmasters, one notary, one
portrait-painter one lawyer and one physician.
Here are few facts showing the brutal and
ridiculous manner of making arrests and their
causes:
A hunchback distinguished himself on one of the
bsrricades on the 4th December. With no other
clue to his identity than his Esopian appendage,
the police had orders for his arrest. With dihgent
search they found twelve hunchbacks, all of whom
were thrown into the prison Of Bic6tre Eight Of
these before the mock Judges proved a negative
reversing all our ideas Of what proof should be
that they could not be the one bunchback sought.
The other four could not satisfactorily prove they
we're not the one, and so were sentenced to trans
portatiOD. In Japan, when a criminal escapes,
they imprison all his immediate neghbOrs till he
is retaken.
The National newspaper Of Paris was suppressed.
Seventy-fve persons employed on it as conpositors,
printers, etc, principally heads Of families, were
thus thrown out Of employment and no less than
sixteen of them were cast into the prison Of
Bicetre.
The BOnapartst journals openly announced such
arrests rs of persons "accused of holding Demo-
"cratic opinions" -notwithstanding that the coup
fddt was made by Louis BOnaparte "to save the
Republic" Thus in the PGtrie, Paris newspa-
per of the Goth December, we find this cool an
lOuncement:
y an. Angot, a teacher, at Montenay, .(Msyence),
lately arrested for holding Democratic opinions,
mitted suicide in the prison Of Laval
A venerable soldier, Capt LecOmpte who,
though an old pensiOner was not believer in Ma
poleOn, but a Republican, resisted arrest. He was
dragged TO prison through the streets by his long
white beard, much Of which was thus torn out by
the roots.
DIR. Lachamp of Theirs, noted Republican,
much beloved by the people, was sought for by the
police. A poor innkeeper of that place, in whose
house he took refuge, and by whom he was con-
cealed, is now undergoing sentence OF transporta-
ton at Algers for that act
For year at least after the coup dttat the reign
of terror continued in its fullest force, and even at
this day is but slightly relaxed, if at all. But now
Louis Bonaparte is Emperor; then he was "Pres-
ident of the Republic" Here are some samples of
the Republicanism of 1852:
In February, all who came to place flowers at
the foot of the Column of july in the Place de Ia
Bastile-a usual annual custom Of the Republicans
were arrested.
On the 10th of May, at Crest, three sons of a
mason-hmself one of the cOndemned-who had
committed the crime of making a bust Of LedrIl-
Roin, WERE after four months Imprisonment, dis
charged.
On the goth of May, the wife Of one of the exes
died of grief and was buried at Perpgnan. Two
thousand attended her funeral. Twenty-Five of
these were next day arrested and for that act con-
tlemned to transportation and transported to
Lambessa.
On the 18th of Aug, the iete of ST. Napoleon Gin
honor of the other Napoleon; Mr. AbbOtts "Wash-
ngton of France the nominal republic still ex-
isting, extensive arrests were made in Paris of
those crying "Vire Ia RtpuJIiqHei -
At Rouen, 10th November, two gentlemen named
Denis and Cheney, convicted of the crime OF beng
Republicans were brought up for sentence, which
- -
they cried derisively " Virs la RfpabiiqEe ~
For that cry the judge added two years more to
their sentences.
In Louis Bonapartes triumphal progress through
France in September, October and November of
this year, before he arrived at each town. all sus-
pected republicans, called by the police dangerous,
we're, "by way of precsutiOn, thrown into pri'
son and kept there during the term of his visit.
On his return from this tour, NJ. Lepelleter d.
Auhay, presiding Judge of the Correctional Police,
on the oath November, condemned NJ. Seles for
merly cOunsellor-at-law, 10 one months imPri-
sOnment and NJ. Coqueray President of the To-
urance Company of Versailles, to six months i'm
prsOnment for refusing to remove their hats and
salute the Emperor as he passed. " notwithstand-
ing the respectful example set them by the un-
covered crowd"
One of the editors of the Memorial B0rdelaiS
Bonapartist journal Of Bordeaux, NJ. BOudn,
went to Agen to see the reception of the Prince
President" in this triumphal tour, and write
blowing account of it for his journal. But, having
forgotten his passport he was seized by the police,
and, despite his protestatiOns of devotion to Bona
partisan and the new order Of things, was marched
