The FALL OF THE EMPIRE OF FRANCE PREDICTED.
The following extraordinary story of the Bishop
of Orleans is told by Paris correspondent of the
Nord:
"P. ST. open my letter to give you piece of
news which should hesitate to mention if | were
not in position to guarantee its authenticity
Mgr. Dupanloup has just written letter to the
Due d'Aumale which has produced an immense
sensation in the Orleans family. In this letter, the
celebrated prelate, | am assured, earnestly re-
commends the Oreanist party to make common
cause with the supporters of the church. He pre-
diets the speedy fall of the Empire and the restora-
ton of the Orleans family
GEN. ScoTT AND THE MILITARY.-The President
has given to Gen. Scott carte blanche touching all
the military arrangements that he may deem ne
cessarY to secure the peaceable inauguration of
President Lincoln. In organizing the militia of
the District great difficulty is experienced in OBJ
tanning suitable officers. 1t is expected that the
law will be in rigid force in a few days. Wash.

THE OUTRAGE AT SAyANNAH-Presentnaent Of the
tSavannah Grand Jury.-We, the Grand Jurors,
| now sitting Grand Inquest of the Superior
Court of Chatham county, feel it to be our duty to
bring to the notice of this Court and of the State
authorities, the several lawess acts lately COM
mitted upon the person and the liberty CT various
| individuals, residents of city. Law and good
order consider to be the best safeguards of the
lives and property of all communities, and when
ever these prove inefficient for the protection of
citizens and transient visitors, forfeit a
munity, all claim to the respect of our law-abidug
citizens, and the confidence of the civilized nations
of the world. The gross outrage recently inflicted
upon the person and liberty of Captain Vaughan,
of the British ship kalos, demands of US, the
representatives of the law, and the guardians of
good order, that we thus publicly express our de-
testaton of that and all similar dscredtable acts
inasmuch, should lawlessness be longer permitted
the good name of our city, and the reputation of
our State will be seriously affected by the delete
rious effects which must inevitably follow in our
commerce and friendly relations with other Powers
In view of these evil results, we ask our city and
State authorities that they will theoretically en-
deavor to put end to all such dsgraceful dis
| regard of the laws and peace of the land, and to
punish severely all persons detected in the COM
mission of similar acts of violence.

PUTTING SIX BULLETS INTO BRoTHER-IN-
LAw.-Dr Williamson, residing near Napoleon
vile, La, murdered on the evening of
the 18th ult. by two of his relatives. The
doctor was married, but, having no children,
he had reared and educated the two brothers
of his wife, Henry G. and Frank q. The lat
ter had, however, conducted himself badly,
and, after frequent vain efforts at his reforma-
tion, DIR. W. had forbidden him the house.
Henry continued to live with the doctor. On
Wednesday evening DR.. W. went out to visit
patient, taking with him his little negro boy.
On returning, just as the boy was raising the
bar to let the Carriage in, two men rushed for
ward. While one seized the bridle of the
horse, the other asked if it was DR.. William
son who was in the carriage. On receiving a
reply in the affirmative, he discharged six bar
rels Of revolver at the doctor, who fell bath
ed in blood The little negro fed, and when
the noise of the firing attracted the attention
of the household, DR.. Williamson was found
stretched on the earth in the agonies of death.
having received four balls IN different parts
of his body. Suspicion falls on the brothers
Henry and Frank, especially as the former,
when accused Of the deed, replied, in his con-
fnsion ssIt was not ] that fred at hint
was my brother.' Both haze been arrested.

THE DEMOCRACY AND FOREIGNERS

The Democratic press of the North are
dreadfully outraged by the appointment of a
"political refugee from abroad, to represent
this government at foreign court.'' They
reason to prove that in sending representatives
abroad, no regard should be evinced for the
feeling and sentiments of the American peo-
Pile, while every effort should be made to mol
lify the rotten arlstocracieS and pampered
prejndces of foreign governments. They for
get that naturalization and the oath of allegi-
ance are sufficient to invest any white man
from any quarter of the globe with all the dig
nifty and privileges of American citizenship
and they forget, also, and are ungrateful to
that powerful element of strength, the adopt
ed citizens, which has heretofore rendered
them triumphant in their political contests
when they thus object to one of their number
enjoying the rights and immunities conferred
upon them by their citizenship. 1t is an old
plea, however, of opposition to every princi-
pie or practice but that which recommends
aud bestows power on the Democratic party.
Twenty years ago the foreign Irish vote di-
Iected the movements and controlled the vic
tories of the Democratic party. Then it was
considered perfectly polite to contribute to
ssrepeal," and toast and fete the eXilcd pa
triots of the Emerald Isle, even if the fact
did chafe and torment nation with which we
were on terms of peace, because at that
time the Democratic leaders found in the
enthusiastic lrishman an element of sue
cess. But change has suddenly come
over the appreciation of these Democratic
admirers of the ssexcited'' foreigner. Because,
forsooth, the steady and practical German
adopted citizens have failed to support the
corruptions of the Democratic party, they
denounced as ambitious intruders. and forbid
to participate in the privileges of American
citizenship. Because Carl Schurz perse-
cuted and driven from his native land for da-
ring to raise the cry of liberty among its hills,
and declaring the universal freedom of man,
he is ridicued as political refugee and de-
nounced in terms unMerited by the vlest
criminal. Out upon such hypochrisy 1t is
becoming too stale and transparent longer to
escape the disgust and contempt oft honest
portion of the adopted as well as native Amer
ican citizens.

THE RAFTsNlAN's JOURNAL.
POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The laboring men and mechanics, who are
now suffering some of the disadvantages of the
confusion in business created by the secession
movement at the South, are told that their
sufferings all attributable to the policy OF
the Republican party. What is that policy
As announced in the platforms of Republican
ism and sought to be established by the legis-
lation of Republican majority in Congress-.
the policy of the Republican party tends to
the protection of free white labor from all sorts
of unfair and unreasonable competition. By
lust and equitable revenue laws, it seeks to
protect the mechanic and laborer so as to en-
able them to compete with the pauper labor of
Europe. No sane or patriotic man will doubt
the wisdom of such policy. Those who OBJ
ject to it. are those who clamor most against
the bestowal of any privilege or protection to
free white labor, the men who are prominent
in the revolutionary aggressions at the South.
On the other hand, it is part of the domestic
policy OF the Republican party to prevent the
extension of slavery, and thus guard against
the danger of conflict between bond and free
labor. To effect this purpose. 1t is the policy
of RepublicaniSm to maintain the freedom OF
the Territories by speedy settlement through
energetic emigration, making the Homestead
Law and its bequests an inducement to the
sturdy laborers and skillful mechanics of the
North and East, to seek homes in the West,
to erect new Commonwealths, and thus add to
the glory, wealth and dignity of Union which
is alone endangered by the burdens and inhu-
ence of the institution OF slavery. The south
crn save-oigarchy claim that protection to
white labor is aggression on the institution of
slavery and therefore cause for revolution.
They assert that the Homestead Bill is an in
vasion of the territorial rights of the South,
because it precipitates into the national do
main population opposed by interest, in
stinct and conviction, to any association or
connection with negro slavery. This is the
position, and these the principles, which the
Republican party have taken and now adyo-
cate, and because of this, they sought to be
made responsible for the effects of the revolu-
ton at the South on the business and labor of
the North. Like all the other attitudes as
sumed by the advocates and defenders of Sc
cession, it utterly fails before the light of
truth and reason.

NoRE MAILS BuRSED.-The mail train west,
due at Pittsburg on the 3rd, was thrown from
the track thirteen miles this side of that city,
by the breaking of an axle. The forward car
went down an embankment of fifteen feet, and
the other cars ran off the track. About eighty
passengers we're in the train, five OF whom were
hurt. Their injuries however were but slight.
The mails caught fire from the upsetting Of the
stove, and the contents of several pouches
were badly damaged or destroyed. The WASH
iDgton letter mail escaped, and the New York
and Philadelphia pouches were but slightly
damaged. The Baltimore and Harrisburg
pouches were considerably injured, and the
we're almost entirely destroyed.
