The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes of the Emperor's reform prospects:
$50 far as one can judge at present, the feel
ing produced by those changes is of a very mix-
ed kind The satisfaction Is by no means so
general as that with which the Decree of the
Oath of November, 1860, enlarging the preroga-
tlves of the Legislative Chamber, was hailed.
for 1t was really reform and progress. More
over, 1t was all the more welcome that it was
not expected; and it was accepted not only f 1
what 1t gave, but also for what it seemed to
promise for the future. Doubtless there are
some good things in the present measure, but;
the question is whether the good is not balanc
ed by the evil. 1t annuls what was already tried
and which, on the whole, worked well; and ii
grants what has yet to be tested to prove it's
value" -
The following gossip is floating about in the
English press:
sit has been observed in Paris that the Prince
Napoleon has taken no part in the reforms Just
introduced by the Emperor. A week ago there
was even some talk of quarrel between him
and his Imperial cousin. The Prince was in
vited to State dinner at the Tuileries, but re-
tired before that meal was served. 1t seems
that he had discovered that his place was be-
low that appropriated to the Prince Wasa,
who is now in Paris. In leaving the palace he
was heard TO say to the Emperor: You know
that care nothing about etiquette; but since
you have introduced it, it is only right that you
should observe it. 1t is also observed that
neither the Prince nor the Princes Mathilde
were at the State ball, from which fact it is
commonly augured that the relations of the
Emperor are as strongly opposed to the changes
as the Empress herself is said to be-"

was born, and has ever since lived. During
her lifetime our nation has passed through
its three grand epochs-that Of the Revolution;

our Country, of its subsequent struggles, and

The Murdered Maine Soldiers.

~ p" "shihSooH uispdtcu Oh the 1Gn says.
Some further facts have recently come to
light respecting Mr.. Stanton's connection with
the case of the four South Carolnians found
guilty of the murder of three Maine soldiers.
IN October, 1862. 1t appears that the sentence
OF Two OF them was committed by General
Sick es, and that Mr. Stanton, in view of the
opinion held by the Supreme Court relative
TO the Legality of military trials since the close
OF hostllties, suggested the Communication of
the death sentence of the other two He saws
he himself believes the murderers were proper-
ly tried before the military tribunal and Justly
convicted: but it did lot seem to him proper
TO recommend their execution in view of the
opinion he knew to be held by the Supreme
Court. He recommended the confinement of
the prisoners at Tortugas, but afterwards
changed the recommendation to Fort Della
ware. He consulted with no one but General
Townsend as to the proper place of imprison-
ment; recommended Fort Delaware because
he thought it, on the whole, the best of the
military prisons for that purpose He never
for moment anticipated that the civil courts
would undertake to interfere with them there
When the writ of hdbedS corpus was issued he
instructed the officer in command to make the
proper return and decline to produce the pris
oners He does not state what orders, if any.
We're sent TO the officer by the Attorney Gen,
eral at the instance VI the President, nor does
10y anything about the influences brought
to bear upon the President to secure the re-
moval of the prisoners from Tortugas to Fort
Delaware, r.

The full confession of Clifton Harris, of his
participation in the West Auburn murder, and
other important facts in possession of the au-
thorities, are still withheld in furtherance of
the ends of justice. The authorities and. de-
tectives are at work night and day, and the
confession will be given to the public as soon
as it can be done with propriety. The Jour
nal says the prisoner talks freely of the sub
Ject, and though much broken down does not
seem to have any realizing sense of his awful
crime nor OF the terrors of hes situation. he
told gentleman who visited him that he was
alone on the evening of the murder IN wni'"
he drove to the city, and that he reacheu noi''e
between and 10 o'clock in the evening anu
went to his room, but not to sieep-oniy 10
await the appointed hour OF midnight, wheh
he Skinned ont of the house III his stocking
feet. his boots in his hands, without awaking
any nerson in Mr. Keiths family where he
lived.
The Journal adds that Detective Blake, Off
Ger Laughton and others are hearing witnesses
informally on the subject of the murder. They
have no doubt of the general correctness of the
prisoners confession which is being confirmed
by important facts now hourly developed.
The negro prisoner states that he was in the
rebel army during the war.
Luther p. Verrill, who is implicated in the
murder by the negro Harris, appeared more
communicative Thursday morning, when visit
ed at Auburn Jail by Detective Blake, than
on Tuesday when arrested, or on "Wednesday.
Wednesday he was little inclined to speak, but
Thursday he talked rather more freely than
before He gave the detective the keys to ms
trunks, ETC. The Detective subsequently visit
ed the house where Verrill has been living and
made such investigations as he deemed proper
A public examination of the case will prob
ably be made within week or two, or as soon
as the detectives finish the business they are

THE FRENCH SENATE.-A Paris letter-writ-

thirtieth senator who has died since the foun-
dation of the French Senate, and among those
one hundred and thirty are fifty ofthe original
members of that body. The army has lost
nineteen marshals, who are members by right
OF their rank; six vice-admirals, and thirty-two
general officers. The number of ministers, or
persons who had been ministers, who died sem
ators, is not less than seventeen. There are
now five or six vacancies in the Senate, four
having died since September last, namely: the
Marquis de Boissy, M. Thouvenel, the Marquis
de Larochejaquelein and Ingres. No one is as
yet named to fill the post of Grand Referen-
daire, left vacant by the death of M. Thouve-

great military division of which Lyons is the

Fir.. Lighting Of MOSCOW with Ga-.

The London Morning Post publishes an ac-
count of curious ceremony performed at
Moscow on the 9th of December last, when
the old Russian capital was for the first time
lighted with gas At two o'clock "Te Deum"
was sung at the gas factory, which was, more.
over, solemnly consecrated. Then there was
grand banquet, after which the officials and
the principal guests proceeded to the Kremlin.
where platform covered with red cloth had
been prepared, close to the cathedral of st.
Michael AT half-past four the Mayor armed
hlmsef with taper and approached the near
est lamp, OF which the tap was already in the
hahds OF an aide. AT the word of command
the tap was turned, the gas was lighted, mil
i1ary band began to play the national hymn,
and the music was continued until the whole
hremlin was illuminated, as well as large
portion of the exterior city.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "We do not
know what the quality of the Moscow gas may
be; but if it is really worth thanking Heaven
for, the Mayor of Moscow may say or sing
with Pierre Duponts International wine-
drinker:
"'Je songe en- remerciant Dieu l.. t
Ou'ils men ont pas en- Angleterre.'" s...
