THE IMPERIAL HOMICIDE.

The Article which Led to the Assassination.
The following is the article published in the
MdrseilldiSe which led to the assassination of
NJ. Victor Noir:-
There are singular people in the Bonaparte
family whose ambition cannot be satisfied, and
who seeing themselves positively thrown into
the shade, grow spiteful at never attaining
power. They resemble those old maids who
have never found husband, and who bewail
the lovers they never had. Let us place in this
category of unfortunates Prince Pierre Napoleon
Bonaparte. who permits himself to write news
paper articles in his leisure hours. He inhabits
Corsica, where he wages war against the radical
democracy; but he meets with more Waterloos
than Austerlitz The ReoGncle, democratic
journal of Corsica, initiated us into his defeats
and gave us specimen of the articles of the So
called Prince. lrritated to see republican ideas
invade the native soil of his family, the Prince
published long letter in paper, threatening
to rip up his adyersaries. Here is q specimen of
the Princes prose:-"Whom the brave soldiers
skilful sportsmen hardy sailors, and industrious
farmers of Corsica would have put to rot in the
fields If they had not been withheld"
AS may be seen the Prince does not write with
light hand. Scratch Bonaparte and you see
a wild beast appear. The nation Is
when it learns that this Prince Pierre Bonaparte
is the same who in 1s4S, addressed Republican
proclamation to the Corsicans, in which are to
be found protestations, offers, and oaths, only
to be equalled by those found in the proclama-
tions of him who is called Napoleon III, by the
grace of violated oath and the coup d etdt?
However used one may be to fluctuations, one
may still find 1t strange that man should have
said twenty years ago, my father was a Repub-
lican, therefore am one by conviction, by in
stlnct, by traditions" and that this same man
should to-day treat as traitors, whom "ther
parents would have dung into the seain a sack"
citizens who have remained faithful to their
yictions, their instincts, their traditions
Fortunately, the cruel experience OF the past
gives us, for the future, some rules by which to
shape our conduct. Let the future republic be-
ware of all who bear the name of Bonaparte,
emperors And let Corsica continue her valiant
republican propaganda. France, her adaptive
mother, pardons her for producing the Napo-
Icons.

Meeting of Iron Producers.

COLUMBIA, Pa, Jan. 26.-At meeting Of the
iron men engaged in the manufacture of pig
iron in this place and its vicinity representing
an annual production of 10000 tons, the follow
ing resolutions were passed unanimously
RESOLVED, That the public mind has been mis-
led by Mr.. Wells in regard to the profits on pig
iron; that the present tariff, although ample
with gold at $50, is insufficient protection as
the premium declines, and at the present prices
of coal, railroad freights, and labor, we must
look forward to being compelled to blow out our
furnaces in case of any reduction of the present
duties on pig iron, old rails, and scrap iron, or
further loss by the incidental protection afforded
by the premium ON gold.
ResolUed further, That the standing committee
of this association forward at once petitions to
Congress, requesting that the present duties be
raised one dollar per ton on bar iron and three
dollars per ton on rails, old rails, scrap boiler
iron, and all other descriptions of manufactured
iron, and that direct tax be imposed of one
dollar per ton on all pig, bars, rail plates, and
other descriptions of iron manufactured in this
country, to compensate for the loss of revenue
on the importation of foreign iron.

several times that there was room in London for
a new paper of any politics and at any price,
that would print the news-in other words,
that should once more put In motion the energy,
intelligence, and the liberality in spending
money which The Times formerly showed, bat of
which there are at this day few traces in that
or any other London paper. II may be said ii
excuse for their sluggishness that they give all
the news the public wants. What paper has
to do is to create the appetite as well as satisfy
it. That could not be very difficult task. At
any rate IL could not be difiicdlt to teach the
London public to prefer full and accurate intel
ligence of matters they do care about to the
meagre and bungling dispatches they now put
up with from MIR. Reuters agency. The expert
ment is worth trying, and The Pal Nal Gazette
ability and some experience, though their even
ing journal was not as strong in It's views as in
other departments. It's publisher, l am told,
has long had an ambition to found great morn
ing journal, and what he has thus far done has
been mainly experimental

Does General Mcclellan know that so grave
q dsaster has occurredi" asked
HE knows only that John Pope is in COM
mand aud that means the same thing
These men thought all that General Perter
acted, and he but carried into the field the spirit
that animated his commander. He, the subordi-
nate, was taken, tried, aud condemned He had
an impartial court and fair trial, and now to
set the sentence aside on the ground solely of
personal feeling, would be outrage that even
our good-Ratured people, so prone to forget, will
at once resent. Since the close of the war, and
since we have received information from the
other side, 1t is evident that had General Pope
received active and hearty cooperation from
McClellans forces, the war would have ended
on the field where we experienced our first great
defeat General Lee, like dignifed donkey as
he is, had divided his army, putting one half
under jackson between Pope and Mcclellan,
where 1t was as far beyond support as Grant was
at Shiloh. had a long and interesting talk with
General Longstreet on this subject last winter,
and If that gentleman can be called to the stand,
the finding of Fitz John Porters court will be
doubly confirmed in the minds of the people.

Arrival of British Political Prisoners

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-The British shsp
Baringer, from Australia, brings fifteen political
prisoners, sent from Ireland to the British penal
colonies in 1865 and 1867. Their terms of sem
tence to transportation vary from five years to
life. They say they suffered indignitles such as
no other country but England offers to political
offenders. AS soon as the vessel reached the
harbor, Mr.. Smith, the Fenian Head Centre of
California, was notified of the fact, and COM
mittee was at once sent on board to escort them
to the city. They were conducted to the Russ
House, frst-class hotel, where rooms were
prepared for their reception, and during the
afternoon they were visited by large numbers of
our Irish citizens and others, who gave them
warm welcome to American soil.
Murder of an Officer In Alaska.
Captain Smith was murdered at Fort Wrangle,
Alaska, on the 25th of December by a drunken
Indian. The chief of the village refused to sur
render the murderer, whereupon the commander
of the fort shelled the village, killing two In
dians. After considerable skirmishing the MUIR
derer was surrendered, tried by court martial,
and hanged. Captain Smith was formerly in
the Confederate naval service He commanded
at Galveston at the time of the capture of the
Harriet Lane.
The Billiard Championship.
Rudolph, of Chicago, telegraphed to Deery
that he would play him for the billiard cham
pionship of America in this city on the 18th of
February. Deery replied asking him to post
pone the game until the 25th, as it would be
impossible to obtain the Mechanics Pavilion

Wadu aaHau Ian 1890


There Is increased ease in the Philadelphia
Money market this morning. which is due rather
to the lack of demand than to any increase in
the supply. The banks and private lenders con-
tinue to struggle against the downward tend
ency of rates, but the large balances In safes and
vaults warn lenders of the necessity of coming
down to such rates as borrowers are willing to
pay. On call, loans are made at 56D6 per cent,
with exceptions at 4, with Government collate-
rails. Discounts are easy, and prime paper
scarce. We quote choice names at 7C99 per
cent.
Gold continues to show flrmer tendency, and
advanced during the morning from 12l11 at the
opening to 1919 about noon.
Government securities are not active but the
market is decidedly firm, and prices show fur
ther advance.
The Stock market was exceedingly dull, and
prices are without change. City skies continue
steady but quiet at l00X for the new bonds.

Suspension Of Work In the Navy Yards.
Special Deepdtch TO The EUeninq Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--ft is understood that
the appropriations for the Bureaus of Construc-
ton and Repair and Steam Engineering of the
Navy Department have been expended, and,
being without funds, Secretary Robson has
been obliged to issue orders suspending work in
the Construction and Engineering Departments
of all the navy yards and naval stations after the
31st instant.
This order involves the discharge of about
eleven thousand men, and it will be very en-
barrassng to them to be thrown out of employ
ment, particularly in mid winter; but no other
course is open to the Secretary He is compelled,
from want of funds, to order suspension until
such time as Congress makes appropriations.
One of the results of this order will be to stop
preparing vessels for service that had previously
been ordered to be fitted for sea as soon as pos
sible.

ENGLISH JOURNALISM.
Mrs. stoves VIndication and the Pail AIaIi


LONDON, Jan. 6.-We are indebted to this
mornings Pail Mall Gazette for fresh sensa-
tion-if may use so Objectionable word. 1t
prints q summary, a column long, of Mrs.
Stoves ''Lady Byron INDICATED" received by
cable from New York. With the exception of
the abstract of the Presidents last message pub
lshed in The Times, this is the longest despatch
received from America by any English journal,
or by all of them together, since there has been
an Atlantic cable. The enterprising New York
agent of Mr.. Reuter- sent half dozen lines the
day before, giving not an account of Mrs.
Stoves book, but of what two or three New
York papers said about it; thinking we might
like to know that, in the opinion of one Journal
''her motives are to make money CIR to gain no
toriety by pandering to depraved tastes" The
coarseness of such an attack as that produces,
so far as 1t has any effect at all, a reaction in
Mrs. Stoves favor; which may for aught
know have been the object of telegraphng it.
The telegraph is used by the American press
30 much more freely than by the European that
you will scarcely consider this single despatch
to The Pal Mail Gazette as an evidence of ex-
traoi dinary enterprise Yet 1t Is, and 1t deserves
TO be noted. Ii 1t Is not followed up, it will
have little or no influence on London journalism,
but IL 1t is the first signal of new effort 1t may
have very important results 1t looks very
much like a challenge to Its contemp poraries
and II 1t be that The Pail Mall Gazette has a
mission, and career before it. / have said

Rock Island is active at i0sls@l0s3s. There are
many rumors relative to Pacific Mall, but probably
the cause OF its decline Is the failure Of the subsidy
scheme
From the " 7. Herald
1.-THE money market was abundantly supplied at
five per cent. as the prevailing rate call loans
with pledge Of prime cOllateras. Exceptions Oc-
CURED at four per cent, and some OF the leading
three per cent In the earlier hours Of business YES
terday the majority of loans on stocks were at six
per CENT with exceptions at seven, but after half
past O'Clock money was offered very freely at five
per cent. to stock houses. Commercial paper was
duller yesterday with rates ranging from seven to
ten per cent for the various grades OF hong and short
prime double name accept&nces.
"Despite the departure of the steamer there was
active market In sterling, and the prime bankers
advanced their rates quarter per cent, although
few II any, transactions occurred at more than an
eighth advance upon yesterdays prices The recent
low range OF gold has presented the usual supply OF
commercial bills and hence the gold spectators have
had sensitive market to work upon when they
manipulated exchange as subsidiary to their main
enort
''The speculative movement in the Gold Room
seems to be in favor of higher premium. The
cearances to-day, amounting TO forty milliens,
reveal heavy purchases on the part OF the newly
formed clique IL seems to be portion OF the pro-
where even slight advance is highly favorable TO
an upward turn In gold. The clique seem TO have
bought few thousand pounds OF sterling with this
view, which induced the bankers TO put up their
rates. to the great delight OF the gold bulls The
price of gold to-day ranged from 12 to 1917, upon
touching which latter figure the market became duh
and inclined to heavness. AZ 1t was the Of tle
Government gold sale, and as the balance OF cur
rency IN the Treasury, which is reduced to five mil
lions, may tempt Mr. Boutwell, to accept all the bids
for gold tomorrow, the speculative feeling was less
enthusiastic towards the close and the market lost
is buoyancy.
Holders OF gold paid from i've to seven per cent
to have their balances carried. In one instance the
borrower received no interest on the current col
lateral-the first transaction at nat recorded for
coed while. The Holsata took out sl,240,OOO In
specie.
"The Government market was active, but without
much change In prices. the difference being, how
ever In OF the bush side OF transactions The
ease in money and the steadlness and strength OF
gold tend to stimulate speculative purchases"
