Paris Correspondence OF the N. 7. Wor1d.1
n. Laboulaye the distinguished professor
Of the College de France, whose knowledge
Of America is perhaps greater than that Of any
man i'll Europe, concluded bis lecture on
Monday as follows: 'tAmefica Is the future
Of civilization; America Is the future of lib
erty, When her territory shall become rs
populous as that Of France, 200 COZ, ,010 Of free
men will occupy it, with q system Of govern
mcnt which will, with irresistible force, draw
all the world TO follow the example,. It is for
this that am SO interested in American pro.
gress; it is Tor this wish to direct yonr ut
tention toward it-you, young men, particu-
lar}y, for it is TO you that the world looks fo1
its advancement This was received with
enthusiastic plsudits, the speaker having eyi-
IDENTIFY possessed himself Of the hearts of bis
audience. 81. Iaboulaye remarked, in the
course Of his lecture, that 1t may be relne,n
bcred that twenty or thirty years ago the most
intense sympathy existed between Americans
and Frcnchmen; all seemed inspired with thc
noble friendship of Lafayette for Washington

TIE SCHOOL QUESTION.

No voter who has at heart the interests
Of education in Chicago will fail to remen1-
ber, in the vote that he casts to-day, the in
fanny Of the attempt lately made by the
Sherman faction, to seize upon the public
schools Of the city and make them subsid-
iary TO their schemes Of partisanship. That
the iniquity was defeated BY the firmness
and fairness Of Alderman Shimp, does not
remove tho stigma from tic men who plot
ted the scheme, worked it through tue
Legislature and tried to put it into execu-
ton. They arc again seeking opportunity
for mischief by acquisition Of powef-pow~
er in the Mayoralty in the Board
of Aldermen, and hence, power. over the
schools we are unable to fathom the
meaning Of all their plans. We are
at loss to know what zeal Of partisanship,
or what insanity Of theological hate, impcls
them TO disturb the sources at which our
children and their children must drink
knowledge in; but it is certain that some
| sufficient motive animates them, and thai
they arc again at work Who docs not
hope that the schools, so many honorable
and We trust, enduring monuments of tlle
love Of education that Chicago has cvinced
may be preserved from their communicating

ABOUT TO RETIRE.

Hno other job is accomplished to-day,
the demonstration that will he madet to Alr
Sherman that the people Of this city do not
want him as their representative in any
capacity, will be, in so far as it is effective,
good job. He is possessed by al itch for
Office that nothing can allay; pnd it is to
be supposed, should he be again elected
Mayor, and not Immediately: thereafter
nominated for President, that he would be
over On our side Us he was once before,
and that he would, as he once did, only
profess Republicanism to- bctray. 1t was
supposed, last November when he failed
in his canvass for Congress, that he was
politically dead and done for; and lad not
Copperhead malignity as many lives as q
cat, the supposition would have
been correct. This deieat-and
defeat to-day is inevitable be the
last that VIC shall hear Of S1r. Sherman as
great man. The people will, when night
comes, hare hove in u few remarks" that
will reach ercn his deaf ears; and the
electors Of Cook county will be troubled
with him no more. lie has run the round
Of parties, and has exhausted the list o
places in his vain endeayor to be a-candi
date at every election; and it is about time
that he had run out. WHO that knows lis
recent political history, and his present af
fliations, Will not lend him 4 helping hand
to that retirement which becomes lis age

tescst nor the principal Of it. To borrow
more millions, therefore, on the credit Of a
bankru1a Conledc1acy, to enable it TO carry |
On hopeless war against its legitimate |
Government, was too monstrous PROPOSE
t;on 10 be entertained for moment by
ravenous Jews and money lenders, without
some collateral security which held out
prospect Of final Payment Of claims.
1t vas well known that the rebels had
already borrowed nearly two hundred and
nineteen millions Of dollars, and that no
more than between seventeen and eighteen
millions had from first to last been raised in
the shape Of taxes to meet the repayment
"a sum not much more than enough to
clear off single years interest Of the
money borrowed.
Add to this that the interest is rapidly ac-
cumulating to an appalling extent, and that
the rebels have no more funds 10 bleed from,
and We find them altogether in bad way,
and not likely suppliants to get without
help what they wanted at the gates Of the
Gold kings.
The British Government and aristocracy
resolved, however, that they should have
it. Hence the insulting speeches made by
Lord Russell, Lord Palmerston, and other
Ministers in the House against the Federal
Government, and their manifest sympathy
with the rebels. This was part Of the
plan which they had devised to bring the
Confedcrates into favor with the capitalists
and make them listen with attentive
ears to their proposals. They let it be I'm
derstood-in quiet diplomatic way-that
they took the rebels under their wing to
certain extent; and believed they would
soon be IN independent people. This, Of
/ course, had great weight with the money
f lenders. and was meant to have. But
!, tnis was not enough; and pending the pos
e;,.i1ity that it might not have the desired
, effect, they committed themselves by an
, ,,nhcard Of act, and one more likely to
nclp the South with the money-men thar
, anything else they could have done-by
publishing, namely, a secret letter writer
by Lord Lyons to Lord Russell, in which
under the sanctions Of privacy, his 1ordshil
gives it as his opinion that-to make
short Of long yarn-the North must Ct
down and the South must go upi
/ This settled the business; the rebels go
} their loan, and the British Governmen
maintained its neutrality inyiolate-by yio
lating every principle Of public and priyat
: honesty, and Of international law.

"A Suffolk correspondent Of the Hartford

fortunate affair at that place, which resulted
In the death of Col. Kimba1l, at the hands Of
Gen Corcoran:
In rny relation Of the Corcoran aud Kim

that Ieuterant-C Colonel Kimball vas on

learned since that he was at Gen. Gctty's
occurrence; that lie halted (of course with no
authority Gen. Corcoran, Who WIS riding

guage, but drew and brandished his sword,
threatening the General, il he attempted to

The people Of this country ought to be

t1ality which England: has maintained be-
tween the Federal Government and the

give within the bounds Of public decency,
and in throwing US many distractions Us
ingcnuity-whettcd By the keenest edges
Of aristocrsde hate-could invent, in tic |
Tay Of The former.
This is not exactly the thing for neutral |
to do, and comes with q very bad grace
from England, because she has always
during late years at least-professed so
much friendship tor us, and has even gone
out of her way on several occasions to laud
our institutions and wish God speed to the
Republic. Perhaps We ought not to be
surprised at il, nor eger at any time to set
more than common value either upon
her lore or her hate: for what she saysshc

now than they did a year ago. And the zegi'
nents raised last summer have also been

PENNSYLVANIA

Nothing was known here up to noon to-day
indicating that Pennsylvania's preparations
for her own defence are improving in yigor
and method, we regret to have to state. Yes
terday the question of the propriety of de-
claring martial law, was being gravely de-
bated at Harrisburg, as the only possible means
of preventing thousands of able bodied men
who should rightfuly do their share in de-
tending the States soil, from fleeing before re-
ports Of the advance of Ewell, like so many
frightened hares, as they are doing. Martial
law should have been declared at Harris burg
some time ago. The failure of the State author
tiles to re sort to il is the reason why Pennsyl-
yania has not responded properly to the recent
call for volunteers. So long as Gov. Curtin
contents himself with politely begging for VOL
unteers upon any terms they may choose them
selves to dictate, instead of getting Pennslya-
MIA defenders of Pennsylvania soil by the prick
OF the bayonet, as the rebels raised their pres
ent army, just so long that States conduct in
the present emergency that is upon her Will be,
as il is, the signal reprCach OF the nation.
