WHAT NAPoLEoN's INTENTION OF

WHAT NAPoLEoN's INTENTION OF
WITHDRAWING FROM MEXICO MEANS.
The intelligent New York correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Transcript says:
Whatever triumph Mr.. Seward's
friends may claim for the partial So
luton Of the Mexican question as
announced in the speech of Napoleon,
parties here who take calmer view
of things surrounding them cannot
share the enthusiasm evinced by some,
on learning that the Emperor is dis
posed to withdraw his troops. They
ask, when will he do it? He tells
them in his speech that he is making
arrangements with Macmillan for the
departure of French troops from
Mexico, consequently Maximilian is
TO be q party to the agreement. Will
he agree? He may probably, espe-
cially after the foreign legion, now
being recruited by Austria, shall have
arrived at Vera Cruz, which may be
some time. Then, again, it should
not be forgotten that Napoleon deli
vered his speech before the news of
the Bagdad outrage had reached him.
The opinion is general that before the
evacuation actually commences, some
guarantees will be required from the
United States, which will insure safe
ty for Mexicans to reside under Impe-
rial rule on the Rio Grande. All these
things will no doubt require good
deal Of diplomatic talk and cores
pondence, during which it will appear
that neither has Napoleon aban-
doned Maximilian,' nor has the lat
ter made up his mind to abandon
Mexico"

Perjury and countcrfeiting.

The moral nature of people, like
that of an individual, may be changed,
for better or for worse, by circum-
stances. The ordeal of civil strife.
and its consequences, have not only
modified the political system of the
Republic, but have had their effect
upon the character of its inhabitants
to degree that perhaps they them
selves have not yet realized. Among
the many deplorable results of
extreme measures growing out of
a condition Of war, may be in
stanced the light value attached to
the sanctity of oaths administered for
the purpose of securing the obsery-
ance of the revenue laws. At one
time during hostilities oaths were
imposed SO frequently in some of the
States that the whole system became
a mockery. Doctors were compelled
to swear allegiance before visiting
patients, lawyers before practicing,
ministers before preaching, lovers
before marrying. To swear, and
sometimes swear falsely, became a
necessity of life Human nature is
the same ali over the world, and if it's
subtleties are not taken into consider
alton by Legislators when they frame
Laws for the government of men, they
will find that society will train its
conscience to regard only the legal
responsibility, and not the moral
guilt. of evading laws that conflict
with pecuniary interest. The masses
soon cease to appreciate the solemnity
OF an act that they are called upon
repeatedly to perform in the routine
of business; and if by some slight
evasion or misrepresentation in full
filing what they consider merely a
technical obligation, they can avoid a
pecuniary sacrifice without fear of
legal penalties, conscientious scruples
will soon, by the force of habit, have
very little weight in the balance.
This may seem severe criticism
upon human nature, but is it not
just? Does any one suppose that the
returns of Internal Revenue assessors
exhibits q correct record Of the incomes
of the members of our communities?
In many cases the returns are known
to be false, and the system that seeks
to exact an Improbable truth from
every household under the imposition
OF an oath, simply educates the peo-
pie to the habit of false swearing.
A few years ago, no American citi-
zen who valued his reputation would
attempt to pass counterfeit coin or
bill. If such came into their possess
sion, it was destroyed or put aside as
so much lost. How is it to-day? The
land is flooded with counterfeit cur
rency, BUTT passes from hand to hand
without any qualms of conscience
and no questions asked. There are
very few persons nowadays who have
the sublime virtue to destroy coun-
>.terfeit fifty cent currency bill, unless
1. is a very bad one. If it fails to
pass at one counter, it goes back into
the pocket-book and, of course, always
through forgetfulness OF negligence,
is> finally disposed Of. We deprecate
this condition of affairs, but, "Tis
true tits pity, pity It's it's truel" Are
we becoming nation of perjurers
and usterers of counterfeit money?
IF SO, craftsmanship must find the
remedy in Wiser legislation.

RI EVENING NEWS,
THE LEGISLATURES.

Our lawmakers at Carson adjourned
last Friday, out Of respect to, and in o n
dolence with, the dreadful calamity which
befel the family Of Senator Lambert-both
his children having lost their lives by FIRE.
The Legislature again met this morning q,
II o'clock. Quite a number OF our Storey
delegation returned to their constituents
on Friday evening. We conversed with
several Of them. The principal point
of legislative obstruction seems to be the
unsettled question Of the finances Of our
S,ate-,he ruling Of our Supreme Court
on the 3osh Of December having thrown
certain doubt around the Specific Contract
Law which has played the devil with
business matters, and in its present condi'
ton surrounds everything with doubt and
uncertainty.

RESTORATION.

The great want of the seeded States is
restoration to their former position in the
Union; to the privileges, rights, and
power, which they so insanely flung away
in their mad dream Of Northern humilia-
non, and q Southern empire foundedupon
the cornerstone Of slavery. The great
want of the loyal States is sc~curity-se-
curity against future attempts for the dis
rup,ion of the Union against new turbu-
lence and efforts TO rule or ruin in the
Union against schemes for the repudIa-
ton Of the national debt, the recognition
o. rebel debts, and the payment for eman-
cipated slaves and other real or pretended
losses Of rebels and, most needed Of all,
security against the oppression and abuse
of loyal men, white and black, whose un-
~pardonable sin it is that they have been
our friends, and upon whom rebel hate
would gladly take its revenge for igno-
minious defeat and enforced submission.
The want Of the former States is 4 favor to
which they can prefer no claim; that OF
the latter is a right which they have won
by the sacrifices. the anguish, and the VIC
tories Of war. We are ready to grant to
our late enemies. even if still our enemies
at heart, what they ask. if this can be done
safely. Blu, safety is = consideration to
which, after all we have suffered, we can
not be indifferent. We must be safe; the
loyal men Of the South mus, be safe; the
country must be safe. And here the real
interest Of North and South is the same
the land must have peace and quiet. order
and harmony, freedom and justice.

Mr.. BucHANAN's Boor.-Ex-Presiden
Buchanan has emerged from the ~obscurity
which concealed him during the war, "a
the author Of a book designed to be a vim
dication Of the last hours Of his Admins
~,ration. The purchaser Of the said book
who expects to find in it anything like a
successful defense Of that disgraceful
period Of American history, will be disap-
pointed. Any person who may buy it
under the impression that it lifts the veil
and reveals important secrets will also be
disappointed. Whether regarded as a
literary production, a successful yindica-
ton, or a contribution to the history Of
the times, the book must be pronounced a
failure. It is in reality a wretched affair,
and alike lacks consistency, candor and
truthfulness. There are many pages de-
voted to General Scott, which we suppose
are intended as a reply to the veteran
Generals autobiography, published some
months ago. There are numerous severe
reflections upon the General, and some OF
them direct contradictions, which open
the door to the questions Of veracity. I,
is needless to say that between Winfield
Scott and James Buchanan. upon a ques-
ton Of truth or falsehood, the public will
INTERESTINGLY decide in favor Of the
former.-Missovi Democrat.

SHOCKING CATAsrRoPHE.-The Will
mington IN. CO. Dispatch, OF November
25th, has the following account Of a most
shocking catastrophe. by which a tight
rope performer was instantly killed
A matinee was advertised to be held ut
the theater ut 2 o'clock Pm. on Friday, the
performance to consist Of Ethiopian min
strelsy, by Charley Whites Iron-Clad
Opera Troupe, and fests on the tight rope
BY Mr.. Delaco, whose real name wal I.
n. Huntly. The rope extended from the
stage to the center gallery, forming a steep
ascent that it appeared almost impossible
to walk. At the appointed time, how
ever, Mr.. Huntley made his appearance,
with the heavy balance-pole used on such
occasions, and commenced his feat. He
walked with great ease and success in the
ascent, reaching the gallery amid the rap
turous applause Of the audience. In a few
moments he turned to descend, but after
taking a few steps, he lost his foothold
and fell, but succeeded in gaining the gal
lery. Apparently becoming mortified at his
partial failure, he remounted the rope and
attempted to descend to the stage back
wards, but, after proceeding q few feet
from the gallery, he again lost his balance,
and then commenced o painful and thrill
ing struggle for life. Finding that he
would probably fall from tho rope, he
threw his balance-polc into tho dress cir
Gle, and, it is supposed, made an effort to
spring into it himself. He merely, how
ever, touched it with his feet and was pre-
cipitated, head downwards, into the par:
quettc below, the left side of the head
striking the corner of one Of the seats,
frightfully crushing the skull and pro-
ducing almost instant death. We exam
ined the body after the occurrence. and it
appeared that all the internal portion OF
the head had been forced into the right
temple. The lower part Of the face pre-.
sented a natural appearance, but the head
was horribly disfgured. The deceased
was a native of Nashville, Tenn, where
he leaves a widowed mother, but has lat
terly been a resident Of Richmond, Va.
He was aged between nineteen and twenty

DISASTERS AT SEA.-rhe losses at sea
during the month of November, this year,
were unusually disastrous. Five steamers
were wrecked, one foundered, and int re-
mains missing. Nine ship, were wrecked,
one burned and one foundered. Eight
barks wrecked and two abandoned. Seven
briggs wrecked, five abandoned, three foun-
dercd. two run down, onc missing, one
capsized. The number embraces sixty
Ave domestic and fifteen foreign craft, the
former, exclusive OF their cargoes, valued
at Sl,450, 900 in specie. Several stranded
vessels are not included In the list. Seven
of these unfortunate craft were from New
Orleans, ten from New York, seven from
Boston, three from Philadelphia, two from
Mobile, etc. Although the month Of No
vember bears the stigma Of these marine
disasters, the fearful hurricanes in the lat
ter part Of October were the cause of
many Of them. So many losses have not
been announced for a single month since
January, 1857.
