The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-12-29

The MOST important cable news published
this morning is the announcement of the
resignation of the French ministry and the
Emperors selection of M. Olivier to aid in
forming a new cabinet, in which the legisla-
tive minority will have a proper representa-
tive. The Emperor announces his intention
to apply in letter and spirit the SenGtus Con-
sult,tDa of September8 8, and he counts on the
adhesion of the Corps Legislatif to the gene
raj interests of the country, no less than on
that of NJ. Olivier, to aid him in the task he
has undertaken of putting into successful
operation the constitutional regime. We give
a full sketch elsewhere of M. Olivier
who is we'll known as one of the most consis-
tent and persistent of the opponents of modern
C;esarism, and his call to the Cabinet indi-
Gates the intention of the Emperor to coun-
teract the influence of such extremists as
Roohefort by securing for himself, if posi-
BILE, the support of moderate Liberals
like M. Olivier This is shrewd move, but
it promises nothing more on the part of the
Emperor than he finds it convenient to per-
form; and if he can tighten his own grasp on
power by seeming to yield something, he will
not hesitate to make any promises or pre-
tonses. SO far as the Emperor is concerned,
this move indicates merely that he finds it
necessary to concede something to the spirit
of the times, and the most promising feature
of it is the substantial foothold that it gives
the enemies of despotism, so that they will
be able to press for further reforms with more
effect than ever before.

rated among some of Mr.. Stanton's friends
in Washington to raise handsome sum of
money for his family, and we hope that the
wealthy men of this and other cities will ex-
tend their aid towards swelling the amount to
an imposing figure. There are q number of
excellent reasons why it is neither expedient
nor proper for Congress to take action in
such matter as this, and if anything is done
it must be by the liberality of private indi-
viduals. 1t may not be inappropriate to men
ton in this connection that Mr.. Stanton's
life was insured in this city for the sum of
ten Thousand dollars so that his family is not
in actual want.

by Government offlcl8ls The President thinks that
the right to establish such scrutiny In favor OF tne
power controlling either end OF the cable is cacu-
lated to lead TO trouble and had therefore beVer pe
prevented
Mr.. Fish enclosed with his circular draft
of convention embodying these points,
with the understanding that it is to be con-
sidered merely as q basis for discussion. The
powers which are invited to join with the
United States in the consideration of this
matter are France, Portugal, Spain, Italy,
North Germany, Austria, Russia, Belgium,
Holland, Sweden and Norway, Denmark,
Turkey, Greece, Venezuela, Brazil, the Argen-
tine Confederation. Colombia, Bolivia, Peru,
Ecuador, and Chill.
This proposition on behalf of our Govern
ment certainly suggests practical and salts
factory solution of the principal difficulties
that are likely to arise from the laying of ocean
cables between the shores of foreign powers,
and the points suggested in the circular of
our Secretary of State are all admirably
adapted for protecting the cables, for pro-
noting their usefulness, and for securing the
rights of the different nations. 1t is certain
that the United States cannot submit to any
such scandalously unequal arrangement as
that under which the French cable is now
operating, and if the chief maritime ma

prospective, on a broad international basis,

justified. In both districts NJ. olivier encountered
no opposition from the Government but in both he

by M. Bancel, a former member OF the Constituent
Assembly, who had been exiled after the coup dedt
OF December g. and in the Var by M. Clement Lau-

the Paris Circonscription were regarded as so even
that M. Bance followed NJ Olliviers example,
and became candidate in one of the country dis
tricts also. But the vote STOOD for Bance 20 S49;

majority in the Department of the Var and took his
seat at the opening OF the recent extraordinary

leader or the Ters Parti or constitutional opposl-

that the DAY for personal government through the
agency OF an irresponsible ministry had gone

gained credence until at last 1t is announced in the
Journal O@ctel that the old ministry has resigned;
and letter has been addressed by the Emperor to
N. Olivier, requesting him to name persons who
will associate with himself to form homogeneous

M. Olivier has published numerous judicial works
which have gained for him high reputation. In
1856 he founded, in connection with Messeurs Mour-

Il NEW PRO-SLA VERY ,SCHEl[E IN
ETTII1

A REMARKABLE scheme has recently been de-
vised in Cuba for the perpetuation of slavery.
The planters and merchants have not been
unmindful of the dangers to which their
favorite institution is subjected by emancipa-
tion in the United States, the increasing
strength of the abolition sentiment of Spain,
and the internal commissions arising from the
Cuban insurrection. To meet these extraor-
dinary exigencies they propose to make a
nominal declaration of freedom, and to
silence the clamor of tho outside world by
pretense that slavery is totally and forever
abolished. But as condition they propose
that all existing slaves shall be held by their
old masters as apprentices during the
next ten years, and that continuous importa-
tions of negroes from Africa be permitted,
with the understanding that all of the sable
emigrants are to be subjected to similar ap-
premiership. Thus, while pretending to
place themselves in harmony with the spirit
of the age, these dashing spectators aim at a
re-establishment of the slave trade on a grand
SCALE and at aperpetual replenshment of the
corps of laborers on Cuban plantations from
the slave marts of Africa The exposure of
this project, however, will scarcely fail to
ensure its defeat Even if Spain should be
disposed to sanction it, the United States and
against every form of the slave trade to per-
NIT the Cuban taskmasters to repeat an old
wrong in a new disguise.

A SIGNIFICANT STORY.

THE Count de Shee, in his memoirs, which
have just been published in Paris gives bit
of gossip worth the attention of every young
man in search of the sure road to riches. 1t
is the secret of the lucky stroke, or the fore
sight, rather, by which Emile de Girardin, the
great journalist, achieved success. De Girar-
din, poor young fellow from the provinces,
says the Count, had been in Paris about
year, living on the proceeds of one or two
contributions to the reviews, when he was
joined by Lesrolles, an old chum from the
country, who had heard of his success and
came to achieve like honors. Now Lesrolles
could barely read and write, but he was full
of dauntless pluck, and stubborn as a mule.
''We will become great authors he said,
sitting down beside De Grardin in his garret.
In vain did De Girardin set before him the
difficulty of obtaining admission for an article
in one of the magazines.
''We will publish a magazine ourselves,
then. We will become great journalists.
''But we have not franc between us, rea-
soned his friend; chow will we buy paper and
machinery" "Go in debt for them. "How
will we pay for contributions? ''Steal
them," boldly replied Lesrolles. The idea
struck De Girardin. A paper containing the
cream of all the current journals-the thing
was novel; there was success in it. $50 bor-
row some money" ordered Lesrolles, 'while
1 write the prospectus" De Girardin sue
ceeded in borrowing five hundred francs; the
prospectus was written, promising the first
issue of the paper in week. ''And its
name?" said Lesrolles, pen in hand. 'Let us
be candid: call it THE Thief"
Now comes the point of the story. Every
sou of the five hundred francs they spent IN
adoertiStng. Subscriptions poured in. Peo-
pie were not averse to becoming receivers of
stolen goods when there was no danger of
punishment. In the first year The Thief
netted its owners fifty thousand francs
Every sou of this they spent in advertising a
new journal, which proved as successful as
the first. For five years their profits all went
in the same manner. Lesrolles continued to
be the business manager, although SO igno-
rant that he was obliged, in counting up the
subscriptions, to set down and add columns
of figures yards in length, not understanding
the rule of simple multiplication His friends
used to find him at this work lying on his
face on the floor upon reams Of paper, pasted
in strips.
every man has his method, he would
| reply, coolly, to their jokes. 'I may not
understand accounts, Messieurs, but I know
the way to success"
The story points its OWE moral to journal
lists, and every other business man.

A STANTON MEMORIAL FUND.


IT is well known fact that Mr.. Stanton, dur
ing his continuance in the War Department,
expended not only his salary, but nearly his
entire fortune, and that he died a poor man,
leaving his family not in absolute poverty,
but with a very slender competence. Mr..
Stanton had the handling and disposition of
hundreds of millions of dollars at time when
it would have been easy for him to have ac-
cumulated immense sums without seriously
compromising his reputation. 1t is safe to
say that not one cent of the peoples money
ever went into his pockets over and above
his salary. On the contrary, the position in
which he was placed obliged him to spend
much more than he received, and he there
fore drew upon his own resources, the accu-
mutations of laborious life. Under these
circumstances, there is q manifest propriety
in the people of the United States making
some provision for the wife and children of
the great War Secretary. Mr.. Stanton was
not only an honest man, but he was great
man, and it was to his able administration of
the War Department that the defeat of the
Rebellion was due quite as much as to the
generalship displayed in the field. Generals
Grant and Sherman and other commanders
were the recipients of magnificent gifts of
money and houses, that placed them in posi-
tions of pecuniary independence, and the
family of the late Secretary Rawlins, who
played very subordinate part in the war in
comparison with Mr.. Stanton, has been pro-
vided for by donation amounting to about
fifty thousand dollars 1t is true that
Mr. Stanton refused to receive
any such recognition of his services in his life
time, but now that he has gone from us there
is no reason why they should not be reoog-
nized in the person of his family. We un,
deEstand that a movement has been inaugg

OCEAN CABLB NEUTRALITY.

OCEAN CABLE NEUIRALIIT.
The peculiar circumstances attending the
landing of the French cable upon our shores,
and the difficulties that seem not unlikely to
occur through the resistance of the United
States to the unwarrantable assumptions of
the French Government, together with the
recent severance of the Cuba cable, indicate
in most forcible manner the necessity for
some positive understanding between diff
ferent governments with regard to them, and
some international regulations for their pro-
lection and preservation. The people of the
United States are particularly interested in
this matter, as the most important cables in
existence are the ones that connect
this continent with Europe, and it is therefore
eminently proper that we should take the
initiative in pressing for the enactment of a
definite international law with regard to
them which all civilized nations would con-
slider binding under every circumstance.
Secretary Fish, therefore, has issued circu-
lar to our principal diplomatic representa-
tives, urging the negotiation of joint con-
Vention of the maritime powers of the
world; and he suggests the following points
as those which the President particularly
desires to have acted upon
First Suitable provisions for the protection OF
such cable lines In times OF peace and OF war,
against wilful or wanton destruction or injury. We
have seen during the present year the submarine
cable connecting Cuba with the United States
severed and communication through 1t interrupted.
The President proposes to prevent similar destruc-
tOn and injury hereafter by Joint declaration that
such acts shall be deemed TO be acts OF piracy, and
punished as such.
Second Suitable provisions to encourage the fu
ture construction OF such lines Experience has
already shown that the assumption by one nation to
control the connection with the shores OF another
will lead TO complications that may, unless arranged
result In preventing all direct telegraphic cOmmun
cations between the two countries. The President
deems that this be best prevented in future by
providing that hereafter no exclusive concession
shall be made without the Joint action OF the two
Governments whose shores are TO be connected. In
this way the capital OF both countries win be en-
listed, and at the same time possible causes or diff
ference will be removed.
Third Provisions against scrutiny OF message
