LOUIS PHILIPPE AND PRINCE JERoME.--The g
Paris correspondent Of the London Times
says:
Every one has remarked that in the bio
graphical sketches furnished on authority for
the provincial papers, or indeed in any of them
which have appeared in the Partisan press,
there is no allusion to Prince Jerome's request
to fix his residence in Paris, in 1Si7 having
been granted by the Government of Louis
Philippe 1t was even said that orders were
given to avoid all men ton of the fact, and 1t is
no doubt believed that his arrival in Paris was
subsequent to the elevation OF his nephew to
the Presidency of the Republic. Now this is
unfair both to Prince Jerome and 10 the King
of the French The Prince was not only per-
mitted to reside in Paris with his son, Prince
Napoleon, but he sought and obtained an in
terview with Louis Philippe, who was then at
st. Cloud. The folding doors of the saloon
were thrown open to receive him. though ac-
cording to etiduette, the compliment was only
PAID 10 crowned head and the Prince ex-
pressed himself touched by the attention of
The Prince, moreover, obtained from the Go
vernment of Louis Philippe the grant of a
pension OF l5o,oO0f, subject to the approval of
The Chamber OF Deputies; and this approval
would assuredly have been granted hui for the
overthrow OF the Government by the reyolu-
tion If February. l believe he solicited The
vote of certain deputies when the hilI sbolfId
be brought before the Chamber. There was
also something said of the Princes desire TO he
named Peer OF France and Governor OF the
Invalides, and hsd Louis Philippe remained
on the throne, it is probable that this very ma
tural wish would also have been gratifed."

cution for the recovery of the penalty imposed
Dy law. We learn that number of cases
have already been reported to the Districr
Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia
and that proceedings have been instituted by
that official.
One of The most distinguished and able
lawyers in Virginia designs, we learn, tes ting
the constitutional right of the general
government to enforce u penalty against the
citizens OF o State for refusing to answer auy
of the census interrOga tories, except those
which relate to the population, black and
white, of the States. IL is contended that the
government can enforce reply ont 10 the
questions which relate to the population ol
The States, and that all the other questions
can be answered or not, as each person may
deem advisable. The constitutional question
is an interes Ting one, aud will decide the fate
of large number of suits which have been
brought by the government.
