ONE MORE CHANCE FOR THE ROYAL MURDERER
PARIS. Jan. 21.--A rumor runs that Pierre Bona
parte, after his acquittal-which everybody takes
foY granted-is to have his pension doubled On con-
diton that he will go TO America and live. Iropp-
mann as you know, tried TO escape to our country
where he had formed the intention to invest the
property of the Kinck family, and lead yirtuous
life. II he had succeeded in carrying out all his
well-dgested plans land he would have done SO, to

vould. at best, have made only one man more in
Wall-st patrioiicay striving to run mp the price OF
gold and provisions, and areso well supplied with
this species that the one who has been snbracted.
though that is hardly proper to say, because,
in reality, he was only hypothecated-will never
be missed But the case OF Pierre Bonapartc is
vastly different And if he really decides to take
his Cousins offer of more money. and 10 go TO
America | make haste to do the great and cnlight-
ened Democratic party service for which they ought
TO thank me, by proposing him as candidate for the
highest Office they have in their gift If there is

his first recommendation Is his entire ignorance of
American institutions and of the foundation of popu-

because there are great many Democratic leaders
who know far less than he about these matters.
His character as q man will stand him IN
much better stead. There are few OF
what New England and other Puritans
CALL the social virtues" that he has not run over
rough shod, and the list Of Yhat such people would
call his "crimes," is really quito dazzling to read
over. There is only one thing lacking TO make o
perfect Democratic record! cann0t learn that no

Councilman; if he had been, he might have shown
his abilities in thievng as well us some other people.
This, however is difficulty that could be got over.
and there are 80 many members of the Democratic
party who haye stolen immensely moro than their
share, that dare say they could somehow contrive
TO cover up the Princes defects with their mantles.
There is Mr.. Marquis Tweed, for instances surely IL
becomes one man Of title to come TO the rescue Of
another.
There is. Of conrse. another recommendation that
will not escape Democrats and that is the fact OF
the candidate being real Prince. To be sure his
title is not very Old and his arstocratic blood Is not
of the purest strain but then. dare say twill be
thought good enough for America. Marquis Tweed
will at last have some one with whom he can talk on
