in France what may prove one Of the most
extraordinary of vendettas
The RochefOrt- -Bonaparte vendetta will have
wider range, perhaps, than between princely
bravo and his few immediate partisans and the
number of Partisan gentlemen willing to shoot
in behalf of the revolutionary Vicomte dc
Lucay. In the long run it may include every
member of the great Bonaparto family who
does not make his peace with the Republic.
The journal which afiirms that, so long as
Prince MuIat is not sent to prison for his as
sault on NJ. Comte, call honest men have the
Fright to shoot him like a dog" reveals Re-
publican depth of detestation. Strange to say,
it is not the MarSeiliaiSe, nor the Rdppet, but
the Reforme; and the two or three other
Partisan papers which have lamcnted the
arraignment and too sudden conviction OF Roche
fort help us to explain more fully this angry
and threatening uttcrance. The people OF Paris
want no gall to make their oppression bitter
Nothing short of justice can now satisfy them,
and the Empire to them is incapable of justice
It may be of vast Importance to Napoleon to
have standing army of janissarles; but
what of all this if he makes his people only
another standing army of suffering aud implaca-
bic haters, ready ut any moment to make him
weak. and TO destroy him whenever he is feeble
We know that Freedoms battle once begun"
is bequeathed very much like Franco-Corsi-
can vendetta, from bleeding sire to son; - and
France has not lost sight of its inherited feud
in the provocation of the Bonaparte affair.

To the unregenerate mind Gen. Nye'S wood
chuck story seemed trife venerable, yet We
are now persuaded that he did not tel it
single time too often. Here is Mr. McNeely
once more hammering away at the dead
woodchuck. He knows no more than to want
vet once again the sense of the House, on
the payment of the FiveTwenties IN
Greenbacks instead of Gold. He got it; tho
sense aforesaid being 122 in favor of consider
ing the subject settled ITO Al willing to hear
what the man had to say about it, Perhaps a
week or two hence somebody else will want
to take another turn at the dead woodchuck.
There is no accounting for the variety OF
tastes, but really the game this time is
hardly worth the powder.

The Grand Jury advise the builling Of
new City Prison and the sale of the over
crowded and unhealthy Tombs. If it were not
for our experience of the new Court-HouSe.
we should see no especial objection to this
project; but to another repetition of that sort
the taxpayers will decidedly object. To spend
five millions on n new Tombs aud be ten years
in finishing the building is too expensive and
too slow for these days. Let us. in the event
of the work being undertaken, make sure that II
shall be in the hands of men who do MT want to
steal more than twenty per cent, and Will not
be more than two years in doing it. AT the
same time, this enterprising Grand Jury would
like to have the Blackwell's Island Penitentiary
removed to Hart's Island, deeming it good to
get the convicts further away from the city,
and suggest that all the space on Backweirs
Island will soon be needed for charitable insu-
tutions. There is some weight in these rea'
sons; but the present location will suffice for
half q century yet

Tho Dominican Question may be said to
have settled itself for the present by the
downfall of Salnaye. 1t has generally been
tho luck of our clumsy diplomacy in the
Indies to take hold of affairs wrong end fore
most. The Haytians accuse US of having sup
ported Salnaye when we ought to have had
eyes to see that Saget would win; and no one
will now venture to believe that we have made
q bargain with Baez which Cabral will not
undo. We are, in a word, rather unhappy in
this business of tropical estate. Our bargain,
as it stands, is exposed to all the elements Of
Haytian and Dominican disorder; for it is
now past doubt that the Haytians are the al
lies of Cabral, and, like him, are the bitter
opponents of annexation. One fact appears to
be sufficient answer for the hostility of the
Haytians to any proposition looking to the
alienation of the Mole of Cape st. Nicolas.
Our Minister, Mr.. Bassett, with whom the
family of Salnave have taken refuge. has
asked the Haytian Government for the body
of the ex-President; but his request has been
rejected with derisive insult, and the life of
the Minister has been threatened by tho mob
We hope that further information may cool
the Haytian temperature of this unwelcome
news Dut, III any CaSc' "o Shall h"'o W 'ohi-
mend the same lesson to those whom it most
concerns. We must remain tho friends of
Hayti. The interest of every colored man,
and, indeed, of every white man in this Re-
public, demands it. Without entangling our
selves in the intrigues of tho Island, without
selling or buying any party, we may save the
Haytians and the Dominicans at some future
day the folly of offering themselves to any
worse bidders than ourselves-to anarchy or
monarchy Minister Bassett's action on his
treatment by President Saget was, we trust,
sensible; but we await a report of it with in

A vote for the Ratification of Constitutional
Amendment is like the signature to promls-
sorry note, binding rs soon as affixed, for so
long as the terms of the note make it binding.
A man may refuse to sign such note once or
fifty times if he will, and still change his mind
and sign it:--when the signature will be as
binding as if it had been given on the first
occasion on which the note was presented.
The State of Ohio refused to sign such note
year ago. Recently it signed it, and the
notice of the signature was yesterday presented
to the Senate of the United States. We take
it that no constitutional lawyer who values his
reputation will deny the binding nature OF the
signature.

cone or more petitions for the abolition OF
the Franking privilege presented by nearly
every member of the Senate" Such is the
brief record in the regular proceedings yester-
day at Washington. We beg gentlemen of the
Senate to understand that these petitions
come from the people, who made them SEN
ators. and are capable of unmaking them.
We beg them also to understand
that the people are in earnest in this
matter-that they have made up their mind
that they have been tri6ed with long enough
concerning the abolition of this paltry swindle.
and that they are determined now to have it
abolished or to know who prevents it. Gentle
men of the Senate the case rests with you. 1t
sloudly asserted that you mean to smother the
BILL All we ask is to let us know who assumes
the responsibility of doing so.

We have it from Rome that the Pope as
indignantly refused the manifesto of l3'
Bishops glinst Infallibility as he gmciously
accepts the advice of Napoleon TO withdraw
his proposed dogma. Nevertheless, we prefer
to discredit both stories, at least in their
present shapes. The opposition to lnfallibIty
is, as we have shown, prudential rather 'han
radical; but though it counts. we do not DOUBT

such as the relations of Church and State COM

dogma we do not believe.

The story that Gen. Cochrane is an applicant
for the place Of Collector Bailey in the Twenty
second District, is an absurdity akin to the many
others which the lame ducks in that district
are constantly starting. Gen. Cochrane is an
applicant for no place within the gift of the
Government. He seeks none, and there is no
pretext whatever for attributing such a desire
to him, save the fact that he has lately assumed
the Chairmanship of the reorganized and re-
united Central Committee of the Republican
party of this city. With this he is entirely

The World discussing the abolition of the
Frankng Privilege, with an ill-dlsguised aver
sion to its triumph, says:
"n Congress were to require prepayment on all news
papers going through the mails the press Of the country
great and small daily and weekly, city aud county,
would combine in protest and we Judge that such pro-
test would by Congress be heard and needed"
The World may speak for itself on this
point; it does not speak for THE TRIBUNE.
We stand for the rule of Prepayment for erery-
thing sent through the Mails. If any one de-
posts a single copy of periodical for trans
mission and delivery, let him pay the required
postage; if publisher sends half his edition
for like treatment, let it be duly weighed when
received at the Post-0 Office, the proper postage
thus ascertained, and that postage paid down on
the nail. That will save the bother and delay OK
collecting it by pennies through the let
ter-carriers and the risk of its non
receipt by the Department. We UNDER
stand that only about 100000 per annum
is now realized by the Department from the
postage of all printed matter, which cannot be
one cent for every five sheets conveyed
through the mails. Reduce the charge to two
cents per pound or $40 per tun for all printed
matter when mailed in quantities of ten
pounds or over, and far more postage would be
realized than now. while, by the abolition of
Frankng the weight of the Mails would be
sensibly reduced. But let there be no deyia-
ton from the rule that everything deposited
for transmission shall be charged with postage,
and that this shall be paid in advance.

The universal complaint of residents and
property-Owners suffering from the tar pave
ment on Fifth-ave. is properly seconded by the
Grand Jury, who make a formal presentment
of the thing as an intolerable nuisance. Its
removal must come, and that speedily, even if
the sufferers have to do the work themselves.
1t is too much to expect that the authors of
the ofcnse will voluntarily undo their profitable
work, but the public Indignation may force them
into some remedial action.
