Last Trial of Fidelity.


An officer of tie French army, during
the reign Of Napoleon, having incurred
the suspicion of resentment Of the emperor
thought it expedient to abandon his
country and take refuge in one Of the
Austrian provinces, and here he became
advised Of, and initiated into a society. the
object Of whose formatio WAS TO hurl to
the ground the Colossus, whose arm smo,e
and governed the whole continent Of Eu-
rope with a sceptre Of iron. One Gay
letter was brought to him containing the
usual signs and passwords of the society,
and requiring him to repair on the follow
ing night to a secluded spot in the forest,
where he would meet some of his asso-
ciates. He went, but found nobody.
The orders were repeated four times; the
officer sought tie appointed place With no
better success than tie first. On the fifth
light OF bis appearance at the rendezvous,
after waiting some time, lie was on the
point Of returning, when loud cries arrest
ed his attention. -..s..
Drawing his sword, he FASTENED to the
spot whence they seemed TO proceed, aud
was fred upon By three men, who, on see
ing that he rem aimed UNIV oundeC, instantly
took to flight; but a, bis fee, la, bleeding
corpse, in which, by tie feeble light Of the
moon, be in vain sought for tokens of re-
turning animation. He was yet bending
over the dead man, when detachment Of
chasseurs, summoned apparently by the
noise of the pistols that had been discharg-
ed at himself, cane up suddenly and arr
| rested him as the assassin. lie WAS load
| ed with chains, tried the next day, and
condemned TO die for his supposed crime.
| His execution was ordered to take place
at midnight. Surrounded by the minis
tiers of justice, he was led at slow pace,
by the light of torches, and the funeral
| ,ollng of bells, to a vast square, in the
centre of which was a scaffold, environed
by horsemen. Beyond these were a
numerous group of spectators, who NUT
tered impatienty, and at intervals se,t
forth cry of adherence.
Tie victim mounted the scaffold, and
bis sentence was read and the first act Of
the tragedy Was on the point of fufi!ment,
when an officer let fall word Of hope.
An edict had just been p'omu| gated by
the government Offering a pardon and life
to any condemned criminal who should
disclose the members and secret tokens OF
particular association, the existence o.
which the Frenchman to whom these
words were addressed had lately become
member. He was questioned, but he
denied all knowledge; they urged him to
confess with promise Of additional reward
Ills only reply was demand for imme-
diate death--an his Imitation was com
pleted.
All that passed was a terrible trial Of
: fidelity Those who surrounded him were
members of the society, and every incident
that has been described, from the summons
TO the last moment Of expected death,
was only = step in the progress Of the
fearful experiment by which they sough,

SOME time, of the bolder and more reckless
of the radicals not only TO pass the Civil
Rights Bill over the Presidents veto, but
also to pass again the Freedman's Bureau
Bill, with, perhaps, few trilling altera-
tions. They have succeeded in the first, q
few days will show whether or not they are
strong enough to succeed in the latter II
they are, will they stop there? There is no
reason to believe so. The President will
still stand like lion in their path. They
have already spoken of him as an 'obstacle
to be removed" and they will endeaSor to
remove him by Impeachment or in some
other manner. A letter says: The men
who brought Charles the First to the scaf-
fold the men who brought the head OF
Louis the Sixteenth to the block, were not
more determined in their purpose than the
radicals to depose President johnson from
his office.
