ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-At the time Of the
election for the Presidency of the French Repub-
lie there was a young Lieutenant of Zouaves serv-
ing with his regiment in Algiers. This regiment,
as did 4 large portion Of the army of Africa,
voted for General Cdvaignac and was c%onspicu-
Gus for its partiZanship. After Louis Napoleon
had been declared President, loud and dire were
the expressions of disappointment, and the Lieu
tenant in question made himself So obnoxious by
his fearless expression of opinion as to attract the
notice of the Chief of the State, and the result
was Il disbanding Of the regiment and IL peremp-
tory order for our hero 10 quit the French terri
tories. lie afterwards went TO Belgium but was
again involved In political trouble, and ordered
across the frontier. Soon after the gold discove-
ries in Victoria, our Lieutenant, who had incur
red the displeasure of his uncle, who was a strong
Bonapartist, made his way to Melbourne, and
was for some time in various positions in the
Police and Escort. Subsequently he came over
to New Zealand, and was for some time working
in company with an individual who now occu-
pies an eminent position in the Native depart
ment, cutting timber, splitting shingles, &c.
Having picked up the Native language, he sue
ceedcd in getting a subordinate Office under Gov
eminent and was located as an agent of the Land
Purchase Department, in the extreme north of
the Island. When the late war broke out he
rendered good service as II Government messen-
ger, and was subsequently attached 10 the Staff
OF General Cameron, rs interpreter. y short
time ago, an official communication was forward
ed by the french embassy In London. to the effect
that this Sl diSGRt Lieutenant OF IOuaves, police
man, sawyer, and interpreter. was the nephew of
n noblemcn high in the good graces of the En-
peror, and this uncle had recently died bequeath-
ing to our hero his large estates and fortune. 1t
is said also that the Emperor had in an autograph
letter expressed his wish to welcome to his Court
the nephew of his friend, and to forget in the
- Count de VILE the indiscretions of the Lieu
tenant of Zouaves. The Count proceeded to
Europe a few mails ago. ard before leaving. ex-
pressed his attention of again visiting New Zca-
land fGgO Daily Times, March 4.

Aiming the Blacks.

The policy of declaring general emancip patton
Of the slaves Of rebels and of employing them in
the Union armies to aid in crushing the rebellion,
is fast gaining friends in Congress and the coun-
try. Its adoption has long been looked upon as
only Il question Of time, should the war last and
il would perhaps have been decided upon before
this except for the radical fanatics who ceaselessly
yituperate everybody who did not believe the
time had come when it was wise or necessary To
employ that element of power. There are few
thoughtful men who have ever taken ground
against employing the negroes except upon argu-
ments of temporary expedency. When the time
for using the blacks shall have forced itself upon
the country, few loyal men Will be found To
oppose il and that time seems 10 be rapidly
approaching if the rebellion shall long continue
70 maintain formidable proportions. An inter
esting debate on this subject occurred in the
Senate on Wednesday last. Senators Grimes of
Iowa, Sherman of Ohio, Fessenden of Maine,
Rice Of Mimi, and Wilson of Mass, spoke
strongly in favor Of arming the slaves; Senators
Salisbury Of Delaware and Carlisle of Va,
opposed it Senator COllamer argued that the
laws confined the militia to white men Senator
Davis OF Ky, opposed employing negroes as SOL
diers, but would use them Us labOrers and Sena-
tor King Of New York proposed to receive into
the service persons of African descent, 90 for the
purpose Of constructing intrenchments or other
camp service or labor forwhich they are fitted"
The question was treated entirely In its practical
bearings, and with a view To legislation tor filling
up the new requisition of troops called Cor by
the President. The speakers were very serious,
and their views were evidently greatly affected by
the recent rebel doings on the Peninsula. There
was strong opposition to what was called the
- white-kid-glOyed 80 rose-water' mode Of con
Quoting the war and Mr.. Sherman argued that
we : could not fight against savages unless we
became part savage ourselves - and that rather
than that the Union should be destroyed, he
would organize Il great army Of black men and
desolate every Southern State" Other speakers
were not behind this in strength Of expression or
in determination to adopt any and every means
to put down the rebellion.

PROGRESS OF ABOLITIONISM

A correspondent Of the New York
Commercial. says orders have already been
issued for the requisite supplies Of arms
and uniforms for the negroes who are TO
garrison the Federal forts on the Southern
coast. Congress has made an appropri-
alton 10 carry out the purpose. There we
have negro equality, according to the
programme Of Simon Cameron. Seward d.
Co. How do our white soldiers Ike tbs
plan Of being placed side BY side with the
negroes of the South? The time wac,
when such a move would not have been
attempted by the Administration; but that
was when the public of the North were
not worshippers a, the shrine Of Sanbo.

tees Of the administration. placed in a
more favorable position than thousands Of
poor whites.--we will begin to see and
appreciate the beauties Of abolisionlsm.
The Federal Congress, as at present
constituted. is a progressive body. They
go from the niger to Sambo. from Sam

and so on to Sambo again. II their legis-
lation only had the effect to place the mig
ger on an equality with themselves. no.
body would care. save probably. the more
respectable portion of the nisgors; but
when men. who have no means Of defend
ing them selves from such cowardly ut
tacks on their manhood. are thus ouirag
ed, it is a little more than common human
nature will willingly bear.

Mr.. Dawes Of Massachusetts, on the state
Of the government finances. 1t was re

not so great as has been stated. and that,
instead Of the interest on the public debt
being one hundred millions at the end Of
the current year. it is only now thirty mil
lions OF dollars on the new and old debts
together.
This speech Of Mr.. Dawes Was replied
to by Mr.. Voorhees, of Indiana. Who sus-

expenditure by quoting statements OF

CAUSE FOR CONCENTRATION.

According TO Republican testimony, one
handred millions Of dollars have been
stolen from the Federal Government du
ring the FIRST year of Republican rule.
The people certainly have great cause for
congratulation that the Republicans elected
honest men of their party to the Presidency
and other responsible official positions.
If they had elected dishonest men to the
Offices of the government. who can form
an idea of the exteo. to which the govern.
ment would have been plandercd?
Honest Old Abe" was the great
cry Of the irrepressibles during the last
Presidential campaign. If his Admins
tra,ion has been an honest one. in their
view of honesty. how many hundred mill
ions is it necessary for an administration
to steal to be dishonest
Bu.hanan's administration was criticised
by the party now in power. for its alleged
extravaganza; bu. we have the testimony
of leading Republican. whose knowlede /,
of the corruption of the present adminis-
tration enabled him to make the statement
understandingly, that the Federal Govern
ment has been robbed. in the past year. OF
a greater amount of money than was nee
essary to pay its whole expenses for one
year during the late administration, which
he and his party characterized as the most
profigate and corrupt of any which has
cursed our government since its organiza-
ton. This is certainly dark record for
a party which came into power on the
most positive pledges of retrenchment and
reform.
In connection with the astounding de-
velopmen,s Of fraud and corruption, which
are almost daily made. in the administra-
ton of the government. it is very refresh,
ing to look at some of the pledges they
made, and the hobbies they used with
such unexampled success. AS specimen,
we select the 9th resolution of the Chicago
Platform:
THAT the people justly view with alarm
the reckless extravaganza which pervades
every department. of the Federal Govern
ment; that return to rigid economy and
accountability is indispensable to arrest
the systematic plumber Of the public treas.
ury by favored partisans. while the recent
startling developments Of frauds and cor
ruptions at the Federal metropolis show
that an entire change of Administration is
imperatively demanded"
Let us congratulate ourselves that the
party which went into power on the above
platform has stolen only one hundred mill
ions the first year! Trnly, we are a for
tunate people.
