Tho Emperor Napoleon.

How contemplate it is on the part
of the French Imperialists to utterly
ignore the Emperor Napoleon, since
there is positive evidence thai he went
into the present war with the utmost
reluctance?
But have these men-theP ersignys,
the Jerome Davids, the Cassagnacs,
the Neys, and all that crowd of ad-
venturers whom Napoleon III lifted
out of the mire and made wealthy and
aristocratic-have these men the right
to speak with contempt of the man
who, yielding to their insensate de-
mands and deceived by their tools to
to the defensive and offensive strength
of France, declared raj against the
most perfectly organized military pow
er on the European Continent!
Time will do justice to Napoleon
III. He has done that great but un-
ruly French nation o good than
any sovereign of that country has
done for many centuries past?
True, he has caused another inva-
sion of France; but the fault was less
his than that of the nation, which,
imagining that it was the best armed,
the most powerful, the greatest in Eu-
rope, thought it could wrest with the
utmost of ease from Germany her
provinces, which the Teutons we're
ready to fight for to the utmost of their
ability, and which, to all appearances,
they will retain for many, many years
to come.-Cin. Com.

The history of the political trimmer,

Like a fungus, the time server is fed,
and fattens upon that which he alb
serbs from the party upon whom he
fastens, for the time being. This is
peculiarly the case with the adYentur-
ers who focked to the standard of
Napoleon, when made Emperor of
the French people. With the tickle
ness of the coquette, when fortune
ceases to smile on the Emperor, they
desert him for a new victim. The
characteristic restlessness and tickle
ness of the French people ara such,
that very few leaders can direct and
control the masses. Revolution and
change-polit1cal theory, and chimeri-
cal speculation, mislead the people /;
and in lieu of lettering their condi-
ton, it is nearly always madeininite-
ly worse. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the French people as such,
will ever make good Republicans
Their temper does not fit them for
enlightenment. That Louis Napo-
leon was the best ruler they have had
for the last hundred years, is doubted
by very few. The city of Paris, has
been almost rebuilt in the last twenty
two years. The Provinces of the EN-
pire have eve given evidence of
greater prosperity. Politically hisead-

Land Grabbing.

We are sorry to be Obliged to be-
lieve that the recent session of Con-
gress has furnished the record of a ma
jority of the peoples. representatives
with legislation not fit to be enacted.
The most of the land grabs for rail
road, and steamship, and (~so-called)
emigrant purposes were laid on the
shelf or rather given the cold shoulder
in the n House or the other, with
out actual and decisive defeat. 1t
was very generally felt among the
Republican majority that to pass any
considerable number of those bills for
devoting public property to private
uses, would be to seal their fate at the
approaching election beyond redemp-
ton.
The foregoing, is the language of
the Cincinnati Commercial, q leading
Republican paper, and shows conclu-
sively that conscience is at work. No
honest Republican can justify the un-
limited and outrageous land stealing
of the late Congress. Amy attempt
on the part of the Republican party
to palliate, or justify such acts, should
condemn its leaders among all honest
nen. Still, a large number of those
who voted for, and doubtless have a
part Of the stealings in the land grab
bling business, are re-ncminated for
Congress! Will their fate DC scaled ?
Again. "But there were several
schemes of this sort which actually
got through both Houses by dint of
persistent lobbying, and by having
strong and influential friends (not
wholly disinterested) in the ranks of
the legislators of both Houses. The
two land appropriation bills which
were distinguished by this success
We're the bill providing for a railroad
from Portland to Astoria, in Oregon,
and the bill granting extended privi-
Ieges to the Northern Pacific Railway.
While these bills became laws, the
Pacific Railway Bill, which
was the most meritorious of any, and
would have proved far more advan-
tageous. to the commercial and agri-
cultural development of the country,
in the House for want of time"
We are to infer then, that the land
grabbing business is to be renewed,
In cas- the Republican party retains
a majority in Congress? That anoth-
er. stupendous scheme for land steal
ing only failed for want of time, yet
we are urged to continue this rotten
party in powerl This furnishes a
powerful argument in favor of defeat
ing the whole Republican ticket, for
if successful, millions of acres will be
stolen. Let the freeman of the land
drive out the grabbing, tariff, thieves.
But-'What possible pretext is
there for giving away a million acres
of lands that should have been reserv-
ed for free homes for the emigrant,
to a petty railway interest in a single
State, with no connection whatever of
a natural importance
There can be no pretext for such
an act. These lands belong to the
freeman of this country, and they
should be held in reserve for them and
their children.
Let the bloated railroad and moni.
ed corporations take care OF themselves.
The liberties of the people are in dan
ger, let them rise and purge the bal
lot box. In this way only can they
secure their rights and keep the land
thieves out of office.
