Napoleon md His Reforms.

In the HERALD Of yesterday we printed ::i;ie
text of the Emperors mess.:sc, with the COM
ments Of the FreIch and English press on the
same We have already given our opinion on
this French crisis. The fuller news received
By mail has not at all affected the Judgment
which we felt was justified by the cable intel
ligence. The late elections gave full proof Of
the fact that France was no longer contented
with imperialism. The result of the elections
condemned the one-mau government. Napo-
leon has shown that he knows when and how
to yield. He has stopped, but in STOPPING he
has not left the world in doubt whether he
means to conquer. As we have said more
than once already, Napoleon has made large
concessions, but he has taken good care not to
allow the rens to slip from his fingers He is
still master of the situation and he means to
remain master. The proroguing of the Corps
Legislatif was most skilful move. We must
walt until the Chambers meet before we CON-
NIT ourselves to any opinion as to the result Of
the reforms. 1t is safe, however, TO say that
Napoleonism is now fairly in the balances. A
little while only and we shall know whether It
is found wanting

Secretary Boutwell, Raped Over I'll,
Kumckies.

kuMckies.
The Albany Ecening Journal, republican
organ, raps Secretary Boutwell, over the
knuckes for his interference in the matter of
the election in Tennessee, as follows :-"Has
not the Secretary made mistake? What is
there to warrant his interference with a quar-
rel purely local? So far as republication is
concerned both OF the candidates for Governor
In Tennessee have equal claims to recognition.
Each was a rebel when he supposed that re-
bellion was likely to succeed and to ally the
State with the Confederates. Each became
converted under the pressure of self-interest.
Aud each has since acted with the party, sup
porting all its measures, including emancpa-
ton, investiture of the negroes with citizen
ship and establishment Of equal rights as
constitutional principle" We can hardly
imagine what bond of sympathy there exists
between Secretary Boutwell, and Colonel
Stokes. Their ideas ia regard to the social
status of Sambo being so widely Different
the former believing him to be an image ft to
worship and the other to possess soul not fit
to be damned. Politics, however, make
strange bedfellows. We repeat our convic-
ton that Boutwell, is doing well enough with
the national money bags; but, in the words of
one Of the most respectable organs of his
party, 'What is there to warrant his inter-
ference with quarrel purely localp"

ANOTHER ANTI-RENr WAR IMMINENT.
Murderous work has again commenced in
Rensselaer, county, the scene Of many anti
rent broils years ago. 1t appears that sheriff
and posse were fred upon by farmer on
whose goods the officer attempted to levy
for non-payment of rent. The sheriff was
mortally and three Of his posse seriously
wounded. This is bloody work, at time
when the cry Of ''Let us have peace" prevails
over the land, especially in the North. But
the laws must be indicated, and the Governor
will, no doubt, take prompt measures to see
that they are in the case Of this violent and
murderous resistance TO the Sheriff Of the
county Of Rensselaer, while in the performance
of his official duty.

Reported Triple AIliance-A Foagy De
snatch.


Whenever political news WAKES dull, which
is often the case at this season of the year, the
newsmongers abroad invariably start some
thrilling report. The last one which we have
received states that rlmor is afoat that an
alliance has been concluded between France,
Austria and Italy; and from the fact that
Italy is to occupy Viterbo it infers that the
evacuation of Rome by the French troops Is
included in the arrangement. Italy has
recently been paying many little attentions to
Austria, probably with view Of Infringing about
some such operation; but so far we have no
information tending to prove that any progress
has been made. Considering the friendly ties
at present existing between the Court Of Aus
tria and the members Of the family of the
ex-King Of Naples and the territorial conoes-
sions but recently made by Austria to Italy, it
hardly appears probable that such an arrange
ment can have been fsvorably entertained.
Napoleon, however, is mighty mediator, aud
in proof Of his maxim that 81 Empire cest la
paix," he perhaps requires the assistance OF
Austria and Italy in order to maintain il. At
all events, there is something very foggy about
the despatch that requires considerable eluci-
dalton. Another despatch, equally improba-
bic, reports that Prussia has offered 1900
men 10 the Pope if the French troops now in
garrison in Rome are withdrawn.

THE LAST OF THE IRISH CHURoH BILL
Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria
has signed the bill, which has passed both
houses Of Parliament and which dIsestablshes
and dlsendows the Irish Protestant Church
establishments. The terrible bill is now law.
We must now wait to see whether or no the
Irish people will be satisfied. We much fear
that Queen Victoria or her heirs will have to
sign many more such bills before our friends Of
the green isle will say ''enough." Gladstone,
Bright and Lowe have, however, done well.

have given proof that they know how to do it,.

The Sheriff aaA the IAwyers-Aa Intc-
rosting Case.

The Sheriff aaA tho LAwysrs-Aa Inte-
restiaS Case.
A case came up yesterday before Judge
Friedman, of the Superior Court, in special
term, relative to the SherifTs charges and
fees, in which our city lawyers take great
interest," and which, in its bearings, is of impor-
lance to the public. II Is on alleged over
charges by the Sheriff in attachment suits
Wooster was the plaintiff against Weld and
others. Mr.. Edwin James appeared for the
plaintiff The Sheriff claimed the sum of one
hundred and thirty eight dollars as his costs
for issuing writs and keeping possession. The
plaintiff objected to this as Illegal and exoes-
sive, and motion was made by counsel for
the taxation of charges. 1t is said that the
legal and proper charges should not amount
to twenty dollars. Mr.. James asked to ex-
anime the Sherif's officers to ascertain what
they had received from other parties who had
attachments in force at the same time the
Sheriff had possession under those of his
clients. The case was put off till Thursday
next for the purpose of making the necessary
examinations. The lawyers generally are
greatly interested in this case, though hardly
any of them would have ventured to beard the
great mogul of the Sheriff's department and
his formidable political hackers and posse of
officers. Whatever may be the merits Of this
particular case, and these have to be seen,
there is no doubt that the Sheriff holds almost
irresponsible power through his political sup
porters, the fear Of the judges, the little army
of roughs around him and the looseness of the
law. Heavy amounts are levied upon the
unfortunate people who get under the clutches
of the law, and it Is not to be wondered at that
the Sheriffs income is enormous and that there
is no lack of greenbacks among his officers
This department and the whole system Of its
management need oyerhauling, and we hope
the present case will throw light upon the
matter and lead to reforms.

THE PROPOSED EUROPEAN LOAN TO THE
UNITED STATES. THE proposition of a
Frankfort banking firm, TO lend the United
States three hundred millions of dollars
at five per cent interest, is a fattering
sign OF the credit of our government,
despite the incubus OF great national
debt. Secretary Boutwell,, according to the
Washington correspondent who makes the fact
public, saw fit to decline the offer, On the
ground that he expects to be able. to fund
portion Of the fve-twenties at four and halt,
or even four per cent. A new loan, contracted
for the purpose Of redeeming the 6ve-twenties
Of 1862 and 1864, could easily be negotiated
at four per cent, if the provision were added
that the principal is definitely payable 10 gold.
In England such loan would prove a fornid-
able rival to the coBsols, which draw only
three per cent interest The steady reduction
Of the national debt which has been going on
since the 10th Of May gives a guarantee that
every cent of Indebtedness will be paid. The
subject il one which must receive enlightened
consideration at tho hands OF the next Con-
gress.

special points of interest--to the playhouse

the childrens shelter, q small playhouse for
girls, near the children's gate; the presenta-
ton OF the admirable statue in bronze, heroic
size, Of the '1ndian Hunter" by J. @. A.
Ward, an earnest Of other contributions to the
future artistic ornaments of the Park-and the
important additions to the geological, zoolo-
gical and botanical treasures. It is q sufficient
compensation for all the sums of money
already expended on this Park to know that the
school children of New York may find there
air and space for healthfal enjoyment No
less than seven millions eighty-nine thousand
seven hundred and ninety-eight visitors
have enjoyed the pleasures offered by
the Park during the past year, and
among them must be counted more
than twenty thousand school children.
During the present school vacations It is to be
hoped that the children will more fully than
ever avail themselves Of the privileges OK
tended to them at the Park.
1t is also to be hoped that the statue Of the
'Indian Hunter" by Ward is but first install
ment Of the contributions which our artists
will make to the Ornamentation of our I'M
rivalled Park. What more suitable place
could be chosen by American soulptors and
architects for permanent exhibition of their
best productions2 That its advantages as
means Of popular Intellectual improvement
have not been overlooked is shown by the en-
enlargement to so scientific a man as Mr..

Of modern landscape gardening at the

unless it may be that certain trees

graduate the Park Commissioners on their
success in having provided the city of New

The letter OF the Secretary OF the Treasury
to the Collector Of the Customs at New Or
leans, relative to the importation Of coolies
into this country, declares that the act of Feb
ruary, 1862, prohibiting American citizens
from engaging in the cOolie trade has not been
abrogated. It also refers to resolution
which was unanimously passed on the 10th Of
January, 1867, by both houses Of Congress,
expressing the adherence of the people OF the
United States for the coolie trade, and to the
additional article (ffth) Of the treaty between
the United States and the Chinese empire, con-
Guided on the 18th of last July and now await
ing the action of the Emperor. This articlere-
probates any other than voluntary emigration,
and agrees to make it penal offence to take
Chinese subjects from China without their free
and voluntary consent. A circular from the
Department of State, addressed to the Minis
tiers and Consuls the United States, on the 18th
January, 1867, directs that the Consul at every
port where coolies may embark be required to
certify, after full examination, that such en-
barkation Is not forced or procured by fraud,
and that such Ministers and Consuls shall use
preventing and discouraging the carrying on
of the traffic referred to in any way. The Col
iector at New Orleans is, therefore, authorized
and directed to use all vigilance in suppress
ing what the Secretary calls this new modi-
fication of the slave trade"
It is manifest that the Secretary of the
Treasury overlooks or ignores the fact that
the prohibitory law to which he alludes makes
mention only Of persons and vessels transport
ing Chinese coolies from Chinese port to some
port foreign to the United States; so that 1t
may be questioned whether 1t interdicts the
importation of this class of immigrants to this
country. At all events, there is nothing to
hinder the sons of the Celestial empire any
more than the sons Of Erin from being well
coined here in hundreds and thousands as
voluntary immigrants. Nor can there be any
more objection to their being brought here
through the agency of companies organized
for the purpose than to the importation OF
Germans through similar instrumentallties.
Moreover, in the changed conditions of Ameri-
can labor, resulting from the destruction of
African slavery by the late war, Chinese i'm
migrants, specially those Of harder build
and superior qualities from the interior dis
tricts, will be heartily welcomed here, and it
should be remembered that however they
may have been induced to leave their native
country, and even to whatever hardships they
may have been subjected on their passage to
our coasts, as soon as they arrive they will be
freemen, and no longer COOLIES. Mr.. Bout
well, therefore, we may hope will revise some
Of bis opinions on the Introduction Of Chinese
labor into the United States and withdraw his
opposition to its inevitable ultimate success.
In this connection we may refer our readers to
the very full account of the history and present
condition of the Chinese labor question, which
filed four columns of yesterdays HERALD.
