The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1870-03-25

II We NEEDED anything to convince
Us of the absurd uutruthfulness of the
late eanard with regard to the French
Emperor This death under the bands OF
a surgeon six months ago. the following
proof Of his foresight and sagacity
would be sufficient to bring US to that
conclusion. A Paris telegram Of the
22d inst. says:
The Journal Oficiel contains letters from
the Emperor to Prime Minister Olivier. He
says it would be expedient in the present con-
ditiOn of affairs to adopt all reforms which
will restore a Constitutional Government
to France, in order to put an end to that i'm
moderate desire for change which possesses
certain spirits who disturb the public mind
BY their unbelief IN the stability of the pres
ent regime. Among the reforms which he
rank those which touch the Constitution and
the prerogatives of the Senate. He urges
Olivier to concert with his colleagues for
submission to him (the Emperor) of a pro-
ject for = senatus conslltum which will fix
invariably the fundamental provisions grow
ing out of the plebiscitum of 1852, divided
legislative power between the two chambers
and restore to the nation a part of the repre-
and power which had heretofore
been delegated.
In other words the Emperor is shrewd
enough to appear to suggest the reforms
which he sees are inevitable, which are
by France and which be must
follow or be destroyed. Contrast the
wisdom of his course with the evident
folly CT his accusers and leading oppo-
nents as demonstrated in the following
report of the proceedings of the Cour,
which is trying the Prince Napoleon for
he killing of Victor Noir:

istance from the city, and going home late
night was obliged to carry arms for self
rejection. He incidentally blamed the
