NAPOLEON'S DEFENSE.
The Last Imperial Pamphlet-rhe War
Forced HIM.

The New York World yesterday published a
very long article with the above heading, FROM
which we take the concluding paragraphs:-
Let us remark with what care Napoleon III
whenever be spoke to the public, sought to
prove that his line of conduct was traced out
by national sentiment In his proclamation he
says:-''Frepchmen, there are solemn moments
in the lives of people when national honor vio-
force and takes into its own hands the guild
ance of the country's destiny. One of these de-
cisive hours has just struck for France. Our
remonstIances have gone forth against the new
demands of Prussia. she has eluded them and
followed disdainful courses. Our country feels
a profound irritation, and cry of war re-
sounds throughout all France. Nothing Is left
but to trust our destines to the lot of arms"
On the 23d of July he replied to the Corps
Legislatif. on their taking leave at the Tuile-
rits:-.'We have done all that depended on us
TO avoid war, and | can say that the whole ma
tion, with an irresistible rush, has dictated our
resolutions" Thus then, accepting tue respon-
sibility, the Emperor before and since his defeat
has sought to make 1t clear that he has not
launched the country into perilous enterprise
for mean motives of dynastic Interest, but was
actively encouraged, If not compelled, by the
manifestations OF public feeling.
The reader will have been convinced that the
man who is row a captive at Wilhelmshohe
employed eighteen years of undsputed power
TO make France the most flOurishng country of
Europe, to assuage international enmities, and
to-protect the independence of foreign peoples
When his personal efforts appeared insufficient
to realize all that he medtaied for the general
good he dissezed himself voluntarily of au-
tbority, he called the representatives of the
nation to take part in the direction of affairs,
and established in France a system of the
widest and most complete liberty And now,
because fortune has abandoned him. is this man
nothing but tyrant who has of his own mo-
tion plunged his country into the horrors of a
merciless war!

safe they obtained the plumber, and safely made

until Mr.. Gurlach ca me down stairs this morn

INSTITUTE FOR CoLoRED YoUTH.-The
eighteenth annual commencement of the Insti-
tute for Colored Youth took place on Wednes-

of an interesting character. The first day was
devoted to an examination of classes in the
High School and its preparatory departments.
The presentation of prizes also took place on
that day. The examination was continued on
Thursday, and on Thursday evening the ora
torcal exercises were held in National Hall,
Market street. below Thirteenth. They con-
sisted OF dialogues, reciations, essays, orations,
etc and many of the pupils acquitted them
selves with great credit. The presentation of
| diplomas came off after these interesting exer-
ciees.
FoX's New AMERICAN THEATRE.--The "fa-

| donation of q cotton gin would be of great
service. A letter from North Carolina states
that "a great many are anxious to get off in
the spring" The Corresponding Secretary of
! the Pennsylvania Colonization Society, Rev.
Thomas s. Malcom, suggests that a Christmas
or New Years present to the society would be
very timely, TO aid those who wish to promote
civilization and Christianity in Africa.

the horses and drivers for the three prison vans
belonging to the city was awarded at noon to-
day to Joseph Gamble at the rate OF $S40 per

| titOrs.
