The Emperor Napoleon and Ills Proposed
Reforms.

When the recent reform decree of Napoleon
was promulgated we were told that it was
received with great satisfaction by the French
people. Now the cable informs us that France
il very generally expressing its disgust at 1t.
Between these opposite assertions a middle
term viii not hit the truth.
Considerable as are the concessions en-
braced in the Empcror's decree, it was not to
be expected that they would give satisfaction
to all parties. Nothing that be could do, tor
example, short Of abdication would extort the
appreciation OF the red republicans. The
clause specially levelled against their repre-
sentativcs in the Legislature-that discontnu-
ing the address from the Chambers in reply to
the speech from the throne-has, as vas to be
expected, excited their furious indignation.
Such men as Jules Favre and Eugene Pelletan
are cut of by it from all chance OF venting
their iuhammatory doctrines in public.
To statesmen of moderate constitutional
opinions, like Theirs, the restriction is
not of so much importance. They will
find abundant opportunities through the
other important provisions of the decree
of making up for this curtailment Of the privl-
lege which they have hitherto enjoyed at the
opening Of the session.
AS regards the bulk Of the French people,
we do not believe that any such feeling as
that described in yesterdays kilograms exists.
They are fully aware that If the Emperor were
to concede too suddenly the reforms de-
manded of him they would at once lead to
revolution. The red republicans are not to be
trusted with such opportunities as would be
thus placed in their hands. Between the dan
gers to which they must lead and the disap-
pointment Of being compelled to wait some
time longer for more comprehensive measures
the people prefer the latter. They have en-
joyed under the political system Of the present
Emperor larger amount of material happi-
ness and greater sense of security than they
have ever before possessed. Weary of revo-
lutions, they are not willing to hazard this con-
dition OF well-being for the doubtful future
opened up to them by the theories OF the red
republicans.
A. to the motives which have actuated
the Emperor in yielding such important
relaxations Of his policy, they are to
be found, we believe, in the convic-
tion that bis foreign enterprises have
been failures and that bis innrm condition Of

a temporary lull in business; but this occurs
also in specie-paying times, and is not caused
by our paper money. The development OF
our manufactures, mines, agriculture and all
kinds of business within the last few years,
shows the effect of an abundant circulating
medium and easy money market The true
policy is TO let well alone and not meddle in
judiciously with the currency.
The national bank system is favorite one
with Mr.. Morrill,, as with all the other advo-
Gates Of contraction and resumption. He
thinks the saving Of twentyfou millions
year to the Treasury in interest on the debt,
by substituting legal tenders for national bank
notes, is trife compared with the blessings the
banks are to the country. We diner with him.
The national banks constitute great and dan
gerous moneyed monopoly which will absorb
the profits OF industry and exercise powerful
influence over the politics Of the country. The
government has given them enormous privi-
leges without any consideration IN return.
They are, in fact, fraud upon the country
and threaten it with great evils. Nor is the
twenty-fou millions year which is given TO
them trife. That amount at compound In
tsrest would pay OF the national debt in less
than forty years. II is a greater amount than
the whole revenue or expenditure OF the gov
ernment few years ago. Mr.. Morrill, has o
great deal to learn about financial matters.
We hope Congress may not be guided by his
theories and erroneous views.
The New York herald., 1867-01-28

THE WHIsKEY FRAUDs-ANoTHER LEAK
SroPPED.-Among the ingenious devices re-
sorted to by whiskey distillers to cheat tho
revenue was that Of manufacturing the article
under the name and semblance Of burning
fluid. This was done by adding to the whiskey
a small proportion Of turpentine, which, after
the article passed inspection, was extracted or
entirely neutralized by chemical agent. Az
burning fluid is exempted from duty the manu-
facturers managed in this way to defraud tho
government of the tax on large amount Of
whiskey. To put an end to such frauds q bill
has been introduced in Congress by Senator
Fcssenden which repeals so much Of the act Of
June 80, 1864, as relates to alcohol and burn
ing fluid, and which subjects to taxation all
products of distillaton, by whatever name
known, which contain distilled spirits or
alcohol. The bill has passed both houses and
now only awaits the Presidents signature to
become law. IfCongress would follow up this
very proper amendment by another, reducing
the tax itself to point which would remove
the inducement to illicit distillaton, ii would
be better fer the interests of the revenue a.
well as for those of public morals.

The Latest Phase OF the Eastern Question.
The telegraphic news OF yesterday relating
to the affairs of the East is specially interest
ing. The Crctan war is said to be ended, the
volunteers having returned to Greece. Infor-
nation Of similar nature has, on more than
one occasion already, been contradicted by
subsequent kilograms. 1t will no. in the least
surprise us If our telegram of yesterday met
similar fate. II is notorious that for some time
past Austria. much to the annoyance of
Prussia and Russia especially the latter, has
been concentrating her forces in Gaicia. and
tha. the Poles in that province, rightly or
wrongly, are OF opinion that Austria fayors the
resurrection Of Polish nationality. II does
not, therefore, surpt.sc us to learn that Prussia
has demanded from Austria an explanation Of
her conduct The most important item of in
tclligencc is that the French, Russian and
Prussian governments have agreed 10 negotiate
with the Porte settlement Of the affairs of the
East. What does this meant Negotiate is
term OF large significance. Has the Sultan
made up his mind to barter away his disaifected
provinces? Have the Powers above mentioned
terms OH which they are disposed to secure ii
What of Aussrias What of Italys Above
all, what of Englands Are they oil three to
he left out in the cold Is the territory of the
Sultan TO be rearranged or partitioned by and
in the interests of Russia, Prussia and France
alone? Such we may rest assured is not to be
the case Austria, weak as she is, will not
stand passively by while the affairs OF the East
are being settled. She is not yet SO COM
pletely exhausted as tamcly to submit to such
humiliation. She is too near q neighbor
and too deeply interested not to sum-
mon up her remaining strength-a strength
which her past history shows is by no means
easily exhausted, and demands that her voice
be heard. Italy is but little interested and
may well be left aside. But Engand-is 1t for
O moment to be imagined that she will remain
either Indifferent or inactive while the settle
ment Of this long vexed and deeply important
question is being arranged by others Ger
talnly not. Anxious as she is for peace and
unwilling to embroil herself in continental
war, the interests which she has at stake are
too numerous and too weighty to admit of
such course.
What, then, is the explanation of the present
aspect of thingss II is manifest that there has
been correspondence between the Porte and
the great protecting Powers in regard TO the
affairs Of The East, and specially in regard to the
conduct Of the Greeks of the kingdom. The
Sultan is highly indignant at the conduct Of the

pend the sales Of confscated whiskey unless
the price offered be equal 10 the tax on the
article. This is very good resolution, and is,
no doubt intended to restrain certain opera
tions Of government officials and others in the
purchase of confscated liquor; but Mr. Dar-
ling should have gone little further by sus-
pending the sales in cases where the market
price was not realized. This, we opine, would
effectually cure the evil intended TO be removed
by his motion.
