nation Of the French Consul General.
We have received the following note from
the French Consul General in relation to an
article which appeared In our editorial columns
few days ago concerning the suppression OF
the HERALD in Europe, which we attributed to
the agency of some parties having control OF
the French mail sent from this port to Havre:-

LIE C0nsul-General de France.
AS we said in our previous article, we see
no reason why the HERALDs circulation in
Europe should be interfered with by the
French authorities. We are sure that the EN-
peror would not sanction any such interference,
but that, on the contrary, he is willing to give
free scope to the expression of public opinion,
and it will be seen by the above letter Of the
Consul that he has not, directly nor indi-
rectly," given any instructions with reference
to the press of this country. But we are
aware that there is system Of espionage,
which may be said TO form a part of the
domestic arrangements of all European gov
Free AS far as we have expressed ourselves
with regard to the career Of the Emperor
Napoleon we have done him full justice.
Even in the troublous days of the coup det0t,
when condemnation had reached its utmost
limit and justification was only to be found in
the possibility of future good results, we pre-
dicted that the experiment. in spite of the ex-
treme character it assumed, would prove a
success, and that Napoleon would yet give
France a good government, and he has done
so. We see no reason to suppose that he will
not continue to govern France for the benefit
of its people, and as long as this is true we
have no objections to make to the course of
Napoleon. But we positively hold to the
right of an American journal to criticise the
actions Of Emperors, Kings, Queens, Presi-
dents, Vice Presidents, Popes or any other
public functionaries within the range of the
planetary system, and we mean to exercise
that right, ''though the heavens fall.

HERALD TUESDAY, H. lS68-TRIPLE SHEET.

President like Pierce-only instead of poor
Pierce it will be silly Seymour. Regarding
the characters of the two candidates, it readily
occurs that the parties have respectively got
the wrong men. Seymour is the creature who
should be in the hands of the radicals-a pitt
ful tool to be used as Pierce was used by the
Southern radicals, into whose hands he fell
and Grant should stand at the head of the
advancing democracy, to wreak its relentless
will against radical power. But taking
the men as they are and the situa-
ton as it is, we can only hope that to
whichever side victory inclnes it will give no
doubtful voice. Let the decision be positive
one side or the other-for therein is our only
safety. From an election that either one side
Or the other can by any ingenuity dispute we
will have civil war. Some of the Southern
States are preparing this possibility in making
laws to take the vote for President from de-
mocratic communities and give it to radical
Legislatures. Should the republican candi-
date be elected only in virtue of these
manguvres it will take another war to put
down the protest against him. Should the
election turn on any one Of many such contin-
gencies peace will be farther away than ever,
and, therefore, it is to be hoped the Northern
people themselves will make the decision alb

slanderous II is the great misfortune OF the

this class-men who will hesitate at no un-
truth, for whose mouths nothing is too filthy

asserting its own cause, it has been abused
into fighting the battles of individual malig-

We give elsewhere two speeches from
Southern impossibles, made at a Seymour
and Blair meeting at Atlanta, Ga. One of
these impossibles is Howell Cobb, the other
Robert Toombs-men too well known for many
years to have any worthy or honorable dis

their narrow-minded views of national topics

ness that made the great struggle possible.
Toombs is troubled with the same old blindness
There is nothing in the world but the South,
the magnificent South, the gallant South, the
chivalrous South. For this South all must
stand aside. If there is any other part to the
world, that must lie down in PROSTATE submis-
sion. There is ''conqucror" somewhere-a
vague sort of nonentity, who must get out of
the way and let the South have peace. This is
Toombs' idea Of reconstruction. Howell
Cobb's idea Is worse, for while it Is marked by
all this vice Of wilful blindness 1t is character
lied by degrading and contemplate menda-
city. Here is choice reference -"we have"
