Napoleon's proclamation to the French
people concerning the PlsJiscitum was
published in the journal Official on Sun
day last. 1t recalls the services of the
dynasty to I" "imperial and democratic "
France since 1852, and requests an affirm
ative vote on the Sth of May, which will
"exercise the menaces of revolution, place
order and liberty on a solid basis, and rem
der easier in the future, the transmission
of the crown" to the Prince Imperial. The
Emperor says, "You have almost unani-
mously for eighteen years clothed me with
the most extensive powers, be equally u
unanimous in supporting the transformation
of the imperial regime" The proclama-
ton was enthusiastically received by the
court journals, but the organs of the 9TH
er parties noticed it coldly. The legiti-
mists, as well as the Orleanists and radi-
calls have resolved to vote mo-" or cast
blank ballots. Public meetings for the
discussion of the Plebiscitum were begun
on Sunday last.

Washington correspondents say that the
Treasury Department has caused to be en-
graved an excellent copy of the heads of
the late Minister Burlingame and Gen.
Thomas, which are to be placed on the
next new issue of bonds. 1t is time this
folly of embellishing notes, bonds, postage
stamps, fractional currency, &c. &c. with
scare-crow similitudcs of living and de-
funct officials, were at an end. The de-
vices upon our currency, greenbacks, pos
tage stamps, bonds, or other national is
sues, ought to be uniform, and consist
of the national coat of arms alone. They
ought to remain the same, and not be
changed every quarter. 1t is offering in
cense to vanity, and is unworthy of an
intelligent people. Who knows but we
may next have likeness of John Brown,
Horace Grcely, or Senator Revels.

An election is to be held in France, on
the 9th of May, on what is known as the
plebiScite, which in this instance, means
a law or ordinance submitted to, not made
by, the common people. This is,a prgiet
devised by the Emperor, to
continue the Napoleonic dynasty in the
person Of his son, at his death. Certain
measures of "reform," are incorporated
into this cunningly devised plan, to COM
mend it to popular acceptance, and to veil
its chief design. Of course it will receive
the endorsement of the electors, as did the
empire. But will it prevent barricades in
the streets of Paris, or the use of paving
stones by the populace, or repress the de-
sire of the Orleanists for the subyersion
of the present dynasty, regarding the EN-
peror, as they do, as mere "parvenue, /"
and an impudent intruder upon their own
"divine right"

THE POPULAR UPRISING.

1t is evident to those who have mingled
much with the people of Delaware since
the proclamation of the so-called Fifteenth
Amendment, that the Radicals cannot car
ry this State, with the negroes at their
backs. There is a perfect stampede of
many gentlemen who have heretofore act
ed with the Republican party in good
faith, but who are now fully determined to
cast their votes and their influence against
the tendency of the Radical party towards
negro equality, and the debasing influences
which such state of things would exer-
else upon society. Republicans and Dem
ocrats. laying aside the prejudices of the
past, will strike hands together and make
common cause against the common enemy
the enemy of the black man as well as
the white-the enemy of the peace, order,
and well-being of society at large; who,
despite of all reason, all remonstrance, all
protest and warning, alike of friends and
foes, is determined to trample down, ruth
lessly and Indignantly, the lifelong sent
iments and feelings of all who cherish a
preference for their own race, and who
are not willing to yield those preferences
and those opinions to the behests of faction
and fanaticism.
And what is remarkable, in this case,
is, that it appears to be a spontaneous
movement of the people, e,-their former
leaders following, instead of leading, in
this instance. The Oldest politicians have
rarely witnessed greater unanimity of
sentiment,-a voluntary coming together
of the people, by common consent, to ward
of common danger, and to protect their
common interests.
We shall continue to watch the further
progress and manifestations of this feeling
with unabated interest. Fanatical Radi-
calism is destined to receive, in Delaware,
stern and indignat rebukc.

The MIDDLETowN TRANSCRIPT is widely
appreciated as a business end advertising
medium. by business men. AS an evil
dence of the fact, look over its advertising
columns, and compare it with any other
rural journal, and see if one can be found
which presents more business-like aspect
1t circulates widely, goes into every family
of any note, in all this region, both in
Delaware and Maryland, and is always
filled with useful, instructive, and enter
tanning matter. Scarcely a week passes
that fresh accessions are not made to its
subscription list, and if its advertising pa
tronage continues to increase in like ratio,
it will impose upon the publisher the ne
csssity of an early enlargement. Our ad-
vertisements represent the active business
interests of the community. We admit
no obscene, offensive, fraudulent or half
pay publications, from huckstering agents
who find some papers, in city and country
willing to publish anything, however filthy
and improper, at any price which is offer
cd them. We could fill the Transcript
with such trash. if we would, but we hav,
not SO learned our duty as a publisher
as thus to impose upon and abuse the con
fidence of our readers.

ITEMS OF NEWS.

That the Suez Canal is a perfect sue
cess is clearly demonstrated by the most
hattering account of the condition and
earnings of the transit recently presented
to the shareholders, in Paris, by NJ. de
Lesseps. He states that about G320, 900
will be required this year to complete the
works, but that, per contra, the receipts
are extraordinary. The total number of
vessels that passed through the canal from
the day of its opening to the 18th of March
was 200, representing 146, ,631 tons. OF
these 34,39O tons were French vessels,
1866 Egyptian, 14.625 Austrian, 1886
Italian. ATS Russian, 1000 Norwegian,
5000 Dutch, $50 German, 52S Spanish,
3015 Prussian, 800 Portuguese, and 342
Turkish OF the 200 vessels 200 were
steamers the others were sailing vessels.
The tolls collected were from 70 vessels Of
54, GA tons (130 vessels being exempt,
having passed through on the occasion of
the opening of the canaD, realizing $685.
411f. and the amount from small vessels
as transit dues was 20, 0,186f Baron de
Lesseps is very sanguine about England,
which has already sent through the canal
vessels equaling S. ,052 tonnage; and he
adds that he knows, for a fact, that one
English company has put down in its cal
culation of current expenses 100000 a
year for "ducs to the Suez Canal"
BY the way of Key West the most ex-
traordinary news comes from Cuba. 1t
means nothing less than another rebellion
of the Spanish troops on the island against
the authority of the Captain General; a
rising like that of last June when the vol
unteers drove Captain General Dulce out
of Cuba. The Key West despatch says
that Count Valmaseda and the political
Governor of Santiago refuse to obey orders
from aptain-General dc Rodas; that the
Governor of Castle Cabanas is also in re-
volt. and that de Rodas is on his way back
to Havana to restore his authority. From
the same source comes the report that the
Spaniards are being routed by the insur-
gents everywhere. 1t is proper to caution
readers that the Key West agency leans
very strongly to the side of the Cubans
The Havana correspondent of The World
writes that the insurgent generals have
completely outmaneuvred Valmaseda, anc
that the Spanish chief has been forced t.
abandon the Las Tunas District. TIL,
brunt of the war is again in the districts
of Bayamo and Manzanillo, where it wa
more than year ago.

THE INCOME TAX LAW TO BE TESTED
The Philadelphia and Trenton Railway
Company has secured an injunction against
the Internal Revenue Collector in Phila-
de1phia, restraining him from collecting
or levying the income tax of five per cent
against the declared dividends and net
earnings of the road, on the ground that
the tax is not applicable to incomes paid
or-payable in 1870. The question is to
be argued in the Court of Nisi Prius on
Friday next. Nearly all the leading rail
roads in Pennsylvania have refused to pay
their taxes and will await the decision Of
the court.

A negro preacher, Rev. w. L. Butler,
delivered harangue at Zion Methodist
Episcopal Church, New York, on Sunday
evening last, on the duties of negroes un-
der the new citizenship. He demanded
among other things, "equal school rights, +"
that distinctive colored schools be abolish
cd and that white and black children be
made to sit together in the public schools.
He was prouder of being negro than he
would be to belong any other race; but
he was an American citizen, and demand

Spain is again agitated by the efforts of
the rival candidates to obtain the crown.
A rising in favor of the Prince of Astu-

A Madrid despatch adds that fresh quar-
rels have broken out in the Spanish Cabi-
net, and that the partisans of the Duke of
Montpensier are gaining ground outside
