Prince Napoleon, after all, is not muSzieo OF

he demanded wider reforms and more COM
plote ministerial responsibility than the oenatuS
Consutum promises to afford. The ministerial
spokesmen repudiated such dreadful ideas, and
one enthusiastic Supporter of things as they are
declared the Princes speech '"scandalOus." New
ertheless, the PreSSe insists that the Prince had
that evening conference with the Emperor
and that the latter expressed approval OF his
liberal ideas Nothing seems more probable
than that the Emperor at present would be
ouietly pleased at the expression OF some not
and strong liberalism from leading member OF
the family. When liberal opinions were out oil
favor, Prince Napoleon's eloquence was good
thing TO repudiate; now that liberalism ana
something more is in favor again, his views may
be usefully encouraged and even adopted.

The decision of the Test Oath question by
Attorney HOar will, we trust, put an
end to an effort that at one time threatened to
be dangerous. For the purpose of ratifying the
XVIII Amendment he holds that the oath is not
necessary. The Legislature will therefore organ

heads have been seeking-but as elected When

but it efiectually estOps his proposed action.

Mrs. Stowe must have seen, when she read yes
terday's papers, how just was the judgment of
those among her friends who like ourselves de-
plored and condemned the publication of her
article on Lord and Lady Byron. We learn by
the Cable that the solicitors of Lady Byron's
family have addressed to the London papers q
protest against the article, as gross breach of
trust and confidence, inconsistent with Mrs.
Stoves own recommendation to Lady Byron,
pnd violation of the express terms of her will
The solicitors declare that they represent in this
protest the views of all Lady Byron's repre-
sentatives and descendants. Not much ap-
pears to be said one way or the other about
ahe truth of the statement contained in the
article, except that with lawyer-like eau
lion the solicitors emphasize the fact that
Mrs Stowe adduces no direct evidence-noth-
ing but recollections of a conversation which
took place thirteen years ago. and impressions
derived from manuscripts read under great ex-
citement. This must, of course be the iude-
ment of every reasonable person. Mrs. Stowe
could have no means of proving such charge ::
no one could take Lady Byron's belief or as.
BertiOn as proof. Nothing could excuse the
publication but imperative necessity and posi-

Victor Hugo declines to be excused for his
historical and geographical blunders on the
lenicnt reasoning that the errors of genius
must not be sCrutinized with Aristarchean eyes
He clings to them on the contrary, and de-
tends them, in spite of exposure, ridicule, and
remonstrance. Beethoven, being convicted of
consecutive ffths"-a violation of musical
grammar--said they must be correct since he
had used them. In like manner, Hugo persists
that Premiere DIES quatre" is the proper trans

Are the FcniOn prisoners in Kingston Jail,
Canada, treated with cruelty resembling that
which used to be practiced in the prisons of
King Bomba of Naples7 The United Hishman
of Buffalo has published an article in which
the prison authorities of Kingston are charged
with having treated some of the Fenans so
barbarously that one of them named Cooney
went mad, and is now in the lunatic asylum,
and another named Hayden was brought to the
verge of death. This looks of course, very
much like exaggeratlon, and probably there is
exaggeration In it. But it is Il distinct charge
it can, if untrue, be easily disproved, and it
certainly ought to be answered. Similar charges
were made in the case of the Fenians i'm
prisoned in Great Britain; and although there
may seem to be much exaggeration in the
statement, yet there did, we think. remain n
residuum of just and natural complaint. Mr..
Gladstone, at least would hardly forget the
elaborate and emphatic official denials which
followed his memorable description of what
he saw with his own eyes in the prisons OF
Naples, and the present Under Secretary for
India, Mr.. Grant Duff, as shrewd and clever q
man az ever lived, was completely bamboozlcd
by the Russian authorities in Warsaw and
other Polish cities when he endeavOred, during
the Polish instruction, to find out whether the
prisoners. were treated cruelty. The present
English Government contains at least four
men as Little Likely as any in tho world "

The alarming illness of Gen. Rawlins, the
Secretary of War, will arouse universal sym
patty. He was one of our most faithful, ca
pable, and Woodworking officers; and his brief
career in his present Department has led to
the highest hopes of an energetic and ecOnOm-
ical Administration. The hope will be general
that, in his case, as we'll as in that of Senator
Fessenden, also said to be dangerously ill., the
reports may prove exaggerated. The nation
can i'll afford to spare either.

Comments by The Tribune.

The Tariff of 1861 imposed duty of 20 per
cent on all forms of Lumber or Timber, which,
to the best of our knowledge, remains unchanged
to this day. That duty was imposed by an act
approved March 2, 1S61-two months before
the 1st of May, 1861; and of course before any
Lumber could have been imported from Canada
that year. Under that very moderate duty,
Lumber was very low in 1861, because we were
all intent, not on building, but on fighting and
business was nearly arrested 1t has since been
higher and then lower, as our Currency was
more or less inflated, and as more
or less building caused demand
for more or less lumber But there
is not the faintest show of evidence that
Lumber sold higher in 1861, after this duty
was imposed, than in 1860, prior to its enact
ment-nOr, in fact, that the Tariff has affected
the price one mill. The $2,250,OOO paid into
our Treasury last year by foreign lumbermen,
in order that they might bring their boards
into our country and sell them here in compe-
uuon with our homemade lumber, is a sub.
stantial fact; but the proof that this sum was
not mainly distracted from their profits is en-
