TRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES

TRANCE AND THE UNITED SIdIES'
The Presidents Message has been read ana
dgested in France, yet we see no proof that
any action has been taken by her Government
in accordance Herewith. We have had abund-
ance of plausible talk az to what the Company
will agree to do, and as to how the Govern
ment will forbear to exercise It's power To
scrutinize the messages sent by Cable, &c,
&c. 4; but this is not to the point. What our
Government requires is that any Company trhieh
our Government may sec ttito authorize to lay
q Cable from, this country to France shat ENJOY
the same privileges there as any Company
authorized by France TO lay Cable to h's
country may ENJOY here. This requirement is so
simple that sophistry canno. pervert 1t, and
so plainly just that misrepresentation cannot
weaken its forco. Our Government demands
that France shall treat the United States as
nCr equn, auu clio might Tatasvnta Or
the Society Islands. Will she do it, or will she
nOt7 If she will, why not say so at once, and
end all doubt or controversy If not, that end
of her Cable which touches our coast will have
to come up. There is no sense i'll proionging
the present uncertainty. VIII France treat

shown to have been 1,37O0OO-of which no less
than 10000 were whites, and but 10000
blacks, while of the latter less than two-thirds
we're slaves. We do Mt suppose that those
who are opposed to Cuban independence from
fear of the ruin of the island, will be willing

NJ. w. Cornell Jewett telegraphs us that his
projected Cable to Holland is not that reported

Our Tammany masters have doubtless in
tended kindness in neglecting to publish any
report of the Auditor since that for the year

care to fright the souls of fearful adversa-

document, and so left us to the pleasant dclu-
sion that we were only robbed during tho last
year of the $24l47.s03 OF allowed by the Tax
Levy of 1863. We are 10th to disturb
the public mind by supplying the official omis-

of the community will overbear the bad, or, at
least, that the chance that it will not Is no
greater than must be encountered under any
other form of government. To say that the
evi-minded must be excluded from power is to
cOncedo that tho republic is bunder or o
fraud.
Sometime 'or other, the whole People must
be enfranchised If this be not conceded by
the Republican party, it will assuredly be car
ried over that party. If there be risk in con-
cession, there is certain ruin in denial.
Admit that those you would exclude will
soon be enfranohised, it is the simplest die
tate of good sense and good policy that you
"go not. like the galley at night,
scourged to his dungeon"
but act promptly, cheerfully, cOurageously,
magnanimously. TO say that ex-Rebels may
vote but must not vote for such rs them

fess to repent of what you well know they do

tion-who does not realize that this is ito say
the least) monstrously impoliticf The Yankee
who described his neighbor as having win
"ning ways to make people hate him. must

abounded.
Again we entreat the Republicans in Congress
to act promptly, generously, wisely. 1t was
wrong to have suffered q day to pass aftor the
Virginia delegation presented itself without
admitting them. Every exaction now made OF
them will tend to evil, and that only. Every
days hesitation is an injury and a loss. Any
requirement that the Legislature shall be
purged of those fairly elected will be an exhi-
btion of bad faith, and tend to invalidate Vlr-
ginias ratification of the XVIII Amendment.
We pray that Virginia be admitted without
further exactions, and before the close of this

week to give them out The library
was highly successful from the start.
Donations of books were frequently
made. Governor Penn sent over from
England several valuable works
Libraries on the same plan were soon
formed i'll other places, to the mani
fest advantage OF the people.
Reading" says Franklin, became
fashionable; and onr people, having
no public amusements to divert their
attention from study, tecame better
acquainted with books; and in a few
years were observed by strangers !, to
be better instructed and more intelli-l
gent than people of the same rank
generally are in other countries
This library continued to flourish
as long as Franklin lived; and during
the very last year of his life, the
large brick building was erected for
it near the State House which; still
stands. The library then contained
six thousand volumes. 1t now num-
bers nearly one hundred thousand,
and fund is forming for the erec-
lion of an edifice still more extensive,
elegant and coinmodieus, The great
utility of the library however, was in
demonstrating the fact that such an
institution as self-sustaining circula-
ting library could exist. A few years
after, the Society Library of New
York, which is still feurishiug, was
established ON precisely the same
principle; and.there is now scarcely
a large town in the civilized world
which does not contain one.
The beauty of the principle Is, that
it works just as well in a village IL
brary of five hundred volumes, rs it
does in such great establishments as
the public libraries of New York
and Boston. There is no need to
wait for some rich man to give a
large sum of money, or for town to
vote an annual appropriation Hold
a meeting form society; invite
gifts of books; invite subscriptions of
money; elect librarian; open the
library, and permit all to share
its benefits for small annual chal ge
two dollars, three dollars, five dol
lars, as may be thought best. BY a
good course of lectures, few hund- !
red dollars can be raised every winter
with which the library can be enrich
ed with some glorious boxes of books
all at once. In few years, town
will be surprised to find itself able to
erect building for the library and
reatling-room. and to employ one Of
its Intelligent young ladies' rs n per-
mancnt librarian.

NapoIeon's Loves.

Had not the original plans of Ma
poleon in regard to his marriage been
frustrated by the Austrian Court, his
life might have taken very different
course, and. there might now be no
necessity of his dispairingIy bewailing
the fact that through foreign counsels
he has allowed himself ID he ruined.
He wished to marry his cousin, the
Princess Wasa, granddaughter of the
Grand Duchess Stephanic of Baden
and had already offered her his hand
on the occasion of a visit to Baden
Baden. His suit was accepted, but
with the condition that Prince Wasa,
the father of the Princess, who lived
in Vienna apart from his wife, should
give his consent. Napoleon tliereup-
on turned to the Emperor of Austria,
with the request that he should un-
deriaKe the wooing of the bride from
Prince Wasa, but he received an an
swer to effect that this was not per-
mitted by the laws of etiquette, mas
much as the Prince was only a colo
mel in the Austrian army.
This, however, was merely an ex-
.cuse, since Franz Joseph was determ
ined to prevent the proposed match at
any price. He therefore, contrived
to influence Prince Wasa 10 positive
ly refuse his consent and while Ma.
poleon still hoped on, q match be-
tween the Crown. Prince of Saxony
and the Princess was quickly brought
about by the intrigues of the Austrian
Court. Napoleon was deeply moved
and exasperated at this, and upon
learning that this, his darling pro-
ject, had been frustrated, he gave ut
terance to the memorable words -
.sLes sourerains de Z Europe Sc souuieu-
dront dc moi" (The Princes of Eu-
rope shall have cause to think of me.
1t is true that at a later day the
Emperor of Austria had only too
much cause for regretting the share
which he had taken in this affair; but
for Napoleon the result was much
worse, from having perhaps the only
cal heartfelt desire he ever expert
enced repressed in this rude way n

An irascibIe. gray haired citiz

An irascible, gray haired citizen re-
siding in Cambridge, Mass, felt ag-
grieved at his better half for some
shortcomiug, and to revenge himself
he took valuable gold watch he had
given her after the marriage ceremo-
nv, which he carried TO Boston to sell
giving as reason that he had no fur
ther use forit. The watch was miss
ed, and inquiries made for it, which
brought forth the acknowledgements
of the aged culprit that he had sold
it, and he was now square with his
wife for her contumacious conduct.
The wife heard her husbands boast
ing of what he had done without re-
ply, reserylng it to herself to get
square with him, which size did by
taxing his false teeth from his sleep
ing room while he was lost to all
earthly movements. 1t was her turn

Paris at the time of Napoleon's great
/, political stratagem, there was certain
Countess Montijo and her daughter,
! who had created sensation and
drawn the attention of the Emperor
Napoleon toward themselves by their
extravagant style of living, as well
as the beauty of the daughter. Ma
poleon had drawn these women to his
new court, and had indulged in every
kind of gallantry toward the daugf-
ter, who, however. had quickly given.
him to understand that, despite her
,,c0quetry, she was just as careful of
her honor as he was of his, and would.
yield in no way to his passions unless
he allowed her the legitimate place at
his side.
When now the proposed match
with the Princess Wasa turned out

secure an invitation to Compeigne,
and there, in the freer intercourse
with Napoleon, and with the aid Of a
brilliant toilet. in which violet wreaths
amid her blonde hair had an especial.
ly strong effect, she succeeded through
the magic of her personal appearance
and her splendid conversational pow
