THE PRESS IN FRANCE

A CABLE despatch from Paris states that ''the
MarseHaise has been condemned for offenses
against the Emperor, and exciting hatred
against the Government" and as a punish
ment for these imputed crimes the writer of
the Objectionable article has been sentenced
to six months Imprisonment, and five thou
sand francs fine; the managing editor has been
condemned to one years imprisonment and a
fine of one Thousand francs; and the publica-
tion of the journal has been suspended for.
two months These sentences show that the
pretense that France possesses free press is
but a hollow mockery, and that the affected
hberality of the Emperor ceases the instant
that he believes himself to be dangerously
assailed. He has no faith in free dis
cussion, no confidence in the ability
of his journalistic supporters to repel
the assaults of his foes, and
his prosecutions of writer's, editors, and pub
fishers are humiliating confessions that he is
conscious of his inherent weakness, and that
he dare not permit the people to read
spirited exposition of his pelicy and preten-
sions. In Difference to the spirit of the age
he was reluctantly compelled to permit the
establishment of free press in theory, but
his devices to overwhelm with pecuniary ruin,
and to confne with dungeons, bolts and bars
every vigorous opponent of his dynasty,
prove that no such freedom exists in prac-
tice, and that French writer's and printers
have sword perpetually suspended over
their heads. Any spirited anti-imperial article
may be construed into an offense against the
Emperor, or declared by subservient Judge
to be designed to excite hatred and contempt
for the government. 1t is, in fact, the duty
| of fearless and enterprising modern news
paper to arouse those feelings against officials
or administrations unworthy of public confi-
dence; for when this privilege is denied, inn
becility, corruption, and tyranny can enjoy a
lifelong lease of power.
The late prosecutions give new proof that
an approximation to the real freedom of the
press exists only in Great Britain and the
United States, and yet even in those coun-
tries relics of barbarous old laws, conceived
in the same tyrannical spirit that still prevails
on the Continent, cumber the statute books
and occasionally incite uries to render illiberal

THE FRENCH CABINET.

A CABLE TELEGRAM from Paris, published by
us yesterday, states that Napeleon's new
Cabinet appointments are regarded with con-
siderable astonishment and no little dissatis-
faction. OF the career of the Due de Gra-
mont, who becomes the successor of Count
Napoleon Daru as Minister of Foreign
Affairs, we have already spoken at length.
From his record he can scarcely be set down
a Liberal, even of the conservative stamp;
bat, by long and almost uninterrupted SER
vice of the Emperor, deserves to be classed
rather as sort of rational Imperialist, fitting
colleague of Marshal LIE Beuf, the Minister
of War, and of Admiral de Genouilly, the
Minister of Marine. But he has long figured
quite conspicuously in diplomatic circles,
and is doubtless man of sufficient capacity
and experience for the position to which he
has been elevated.
M. jacques Philippe Mege, who takes the
portfolio of Public Instruction, made vacant
by the promotion, on the 18th of April, of N.
Segris to the Ministry of Finance, as success
sor to M. Buffet, occupies a position in the
political world quite similar to that of the
Duo de Gramont. He has never
figured as labored apologist
of the Empire, but at the same time has con-
trived to escape the imputation of Liberal
ism. He is in his ffty-seventh year, and an
advocate by profession. In 1874 he COM
menced practice at the bar of Clermont-
Ferrand, and in the following year was ap-
pointed an assistant judge. In 1862 he be-

verdicts. While we pity France for the evils
her citizens must suffer in consequence Of her
press being manscled, We should not forget
that perfect freedom has not yet been secured
in our own country, and that Legislators ore
elected in Pennsylvania year after year who
boast of their hostility to the needed reforms.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION

The Democracy are jubilant over the result
Of the election in New York; but as no prin-
oiples were at stake, and as the Republicans
in the rural districts made no serious efforts
to eounterbalance the large Democratic majo-
rity that can on all occasions be easily rallied
to the polls in New York city, the contest
possesses no special significance. In any
event the Republicans will obtain two out of
the six Associate State judges who were voted
for, and as party they we're never inclined
to work as hard as their opponents for victory
for the mere sake of victory. The vote was
unusually light, and the New York Democrats
polled something more than their usual pro-
portion of it, and the essential features of the
contest may be summed up in this brief state
ment. If the Republicans wish to maintain
their ascendancy in other States, and their
decisive majority in Congress, however, they
must not be unmindful of the resolute efforts
of the Democratic politicians, despite innu-
merable defeats, to make the greatest possible
show of strength on little as we'll as big occa-
sions; nor neglectful of the precautions and
exertions which are necessary to secure a full
array of Republican strength at the polls.
The REPORT of the Commercial Exchange
of Philadelphia gives forcible expression to
the deep hostility Of the merchants and manu-
facturers of this city to the income tax and
the other forms of unnecessarily oppressive
internal taxation, as well as to the schemes
for premature resumption of specie pay
ments. It should be the aim of Congress to
make the burdens as light as possible on a
| generation which has already suffered and lost
SO much, instead of encumbering the business
men of this era with unnecessary loads, and
threatening them, on all sides, with ruinous
exactions. The great crash which croakers
have been threatening will surely come if the
insane attempts to force men to make in q
day payments which should be distributed
through series of years are continued. II
the internal revenue taxes are reduced, pro.
tective duties maintained, and the volume OF
well-secured currency increased rather than
diminished, all will go well-but the opposite
course plainly invites ruin.

ANTi-RoBBER STICK.'-A New York
editor has been shown wonderful inyen-
ton, termed all anti-robber stick" in the
handle Of which is located q small galvanie
battery. A slight pressure causes the in
slant throwing out OF a strong steel needle
III the other end, and penetrating the high
wayman who comes in contact with it. The
galvanism of the machine at once para
lyzcs him, and it becomes an easy matter
to capture or get away from him. The
editor aforesaid saw the inventor expert
mcnt on dog. He touched the animal
with the needle, and instantly the dog be-
came as stiff and still as poker, being un-
able to wag even his tail. The only objection
to this invention seems to be that the rob-
her could use it with just the same effect as
the honest man. It's utility, therefore, is
questionable.

Az INVENTIVE CoNvICT REWARDED
There is to be seen in the shop for the
manufacture Of agricultural implements in
the State prison at jackson 4 very rare and
ingenious piece of mechanism. 1t is Il
turning lathe which turns sticks of varia-
bic thickness and of any degree Of crook
cdness short Of double bow-knot. It is
principally used in turning scythe snaths,
but il will do any other sort Of twisted work
equally we'll. Besides doing the labor of q
dozen hands it also does its work with
greater accuracy than could possibly be
done by hand 50 that upon the whole it is
really a very valuable piece of machinery.
Il is the invention Of q convict named Hin
ton; and it should be added to the credit
OF the contractors, Messrs. Wilmington,
Cooley s. Co., that they not only paid for
the inventors time while making expert
ments with no certainty of success, but
they also gave the inventor himself $500 at
the expiration of his term of service.
In the blacksmithing department of the
same shop there is now used d certain steel
punch, the working Of which is unsatisfac
tory; and it is understood that a reward Of
$500 will be paid to the family Of the COLI

It seems the gentleman, who was widow
er, won and married an industrious young
lady, who formerly resided in the lower
part of this State, and who was engaged in
tho business of dress-making, but who
moved to this city short before Mr..
became acquainted with her. She was doing
good business in the above line when he
married her. The honeymoon had hardly
passed before the husband blasted
oil the bright prospects, as well as the
faithful promises he had made to her, by
getting upon one of his old-time drunks,
and when in that condition he is as filthy
in his habits as a drunken man can well
be. He continued on his sprees despite the
pleadings of her whom he had sworn to love
and cherish, until lorbearance ceased to be
virtue, and she laid her grievances before
her mother, who thought she would try
another style of argument; so she supplied
herself with pair Of weapons known as
steel knuckles, and visited the residence Of
her unfaithful son-in-law and proceeded to
chastise him in manner that brought him
to his knees, and he promised to do what
ever she wished. He begged his wife's
pardon for his past neglect. His mother
in-law had Bible brought forth, and made
him take an oath to abstain from the in
toxicating cup. How long he wilc keep his
oath we shall see.-Wilmington (Del.)

A MODERN WHrTTrNGToN-A VAGABoND
BECOMES A SESAT0R--SHowlNG Bow A
CoIoREp MINISTER, AFTER BEING CHASED
FROM ONE CHURCH TO ANOTHER, FL
NALLY FLARES UP IN A BLAZE OF
GLORY. Y.-Most people have heard that for
the first time in the history of the United
States colored senator has been returned
to the halls of Washington, and they have
consequently wondered who and what man
ner OF man is Senator Hiram R. Revels.
Every one does not know that he is a
Leavenworth man, and that while here he
was minister Of such scandalous pro-
clivities that his own brethren and flock
turned upon him and forced him to seek
other fields and pastures new. The out
lines of his history we propose to give in as
brief space as possible.
Mr. Hiram R. Revels was born in the
State of North Carolina, and we first hear
OF him at st. Louis, where he succeeded
his brother in the charge of O church, and
where he became involved in desperate
church riot, wherein he himself was
knocked down with bottle, and in con-
sequence of which about fifty arrests were
made. For this he was dismissed from the
church, and took to school-teaching for u
living.
In 1864 he was again admitted, into the
church, and came to Leavenworth in 1865.
In this city he speedily became, as pastor
Of the African Methodist Episcopal church,
involved in a dispute with the elders in re-
gard to some alleged misappropriation of
the funds of the church. 1t was at this
time that Mr.. John Morris, the barber, who
now resides ON Delaware street, and who is
a man of much~talent, published pam
phlet entitled g "A Humbug,'' in which he
made specific allegations that Revels had
plundered the church of the sum of 81 $50,
and bringing forward proof of the same
For this Revels in the month of June, 1867,
brought an action against Morris for libel,
which he lost, the jury being convinced of
the truth of the allegation.
Revels, being thus acknowledged as
guilty by his own people, left Leaven worth
in the fall of 1867, and removed to Louis
Vile, KY, where, in consequence of pam
phlet published in this place by John Nor
ris, calling attention to his misdeeds, he
removed in the fall of 1868 to Natchez,
Miss. it must have been somewhere about
this time that we hear of him at Memphis,
but how long he remained there we know
not. While in that city, however, he as
sisted in the character Of exhorter at the
hanging of man named Moody, who was
executed for numbering Captain Perry.
In this, however. he only anticipated Henry
Ward Bcechcr, Mrs. Stowe, and other re-
markable Radicals, who have a sanctimo-
NOUS relish for the horrible and his in
stincts in this respect can hardly be deem
cd perverted, but seem to flow in the legiti-
mate channel.-LearenWorth Daily Com

VIRGINIA HORTICULTURAL AND PoMOLo-

was held at their rooms on Monday after
noon. The Committee on the General Wei
fare of the Society reported that they had
appointed number of local agents at dit-
ferent points in the State, and had large
number of documents ready for distribu-
ton. They also reported adversely to any
action on the reduction of life membership
in the Society.
Colonel Gillian opened the discussion on
the manufacture and manipulation Of do
mestic wines, showing in avery interesting
lecture the properties of the grape required
to make good wine, and the proportions of
each, and the process of manufacture. He
also gave the means by which the presence.
in a greater or less degree-of each of
these properties could be detected, illustra-
ting his remarks Oh this branch of the sub
ject by the use of the instruments by which
they may be discovered.

sion, but before it was concluded the meet

The LAWS OF HEALTH IN INDIANAPoLIs.
There is physician in this city who is hale
and hearty at the advanced age of seventy
three, and who for the past twenty years
has not slept in bed or taken his meals at
regular hours. He has but one regular
habit-that of drinking about quart of
the best Rhine wine daily. When disposed
to cat he does SO, and when night comes he
rests in large armchair, taking cat maps
of about an hours duration each, and keeps
the gas lighted in his chamber for the en-
ioyment of reading each time he awakes.
He does not attribute his enjoyment of
health so much to his peculiar habits MS he
does to the fact that he has never been Sc
duced into taking upon himself the full re-
sponsibiities of life by becoming bene-

Mitchell was arraigned before the Mayor
yesterday morning charged with feloniously
cutting J. B. Grayens with intent to kill.
Gravens was also arraigned for administer
ing croton oil to Mitchell and several others
with intent to kill. 1t appeared from the
evidence of several witnesses that the par
ties concerned were playing cards at Beau
Easley's house in December, and while the
game was going on Gravens put the oil in
the whiskey, to the great discontinue Of the
festive crowd. At this point the Mayor
said that he would continue the case until
this morning, as Grayens was under the in
fuence of liquor.
