The French Senate and the Piebiscitum.
PARIS, April 90.
In the Senate to-day the debate was con-
tinued on the Senatus Consultum. Olivier wound
up the discussion with long and brilliant
speech. Referring 20 the Pleb!sctuln, he said the
government did not wish 20 extend the question.
They only desired 10 submit certain liberal modt-
acatious to the people. They had no intention OF
submitting the principle on which the State was
formed, and Of converting hereditary into elec-
tive empire. But the Revolutionary party, by
obeying its evil passions, had given another COM
plexion TO the debate. If the revolutionary
party wished 10 combat the government the gov
ernment would accept the challenge. II the de-
sire was to take revolutionary ground, the govern
ment would follow and outstrip its enemies. o.
llvier assured the Senate that whatever might
be the result OF the struggle the government
would not place itself on the track OF reaction.
He continued: ''The government and the Empe-
ror will remain what they now are-always gene
rous, liberal and magnaninous. II Is prelude
to the Emperor TO be always advancing, never
recedlng. The government In pursuing the work
OF recon nciliation, will always hold its hands to
honest men. Let them remember that tie De-
mocracy and liberty are not incompatible with
the Empire. The triumph Of liberty through the
goyernmen, will be for the sovereign glory COM
plete, and for the national security without q
Clouds This passage called from the senators a
salvo o. applause, which was twice repeated. o.
livier, in concluding, said the Emperor still had
alone the righ: to prepare The formula of the Pie.

Consutum was adopted by the Senate.

pany unavang to stay the flames. 1t gave them
an opportunity, however, to demonstrate with
what proIaptness they can respond to an alarm,
and with what will and energy they are prepared
to 20 into fight With the fierce element.
On the premises were large Two story wooden

that the experience OF last Friday morning Will
not allow US to do this again. Crowds Of able.

apparently looking on with iendish delight at the
destruction OF white felAs' property. There were
a few notable exceptions, but very few. Many OF
them were appealed TO, and asked TO assist In
bringing water. They natly refused, some OF

decision by the Chief Justice is published:
Where real estate conveyed in trust had been
sold and tile proceeds, which consisted OF bonds
and mortgages OF the said estate, were to be In
vested In other land, the trustee accepting Con-
federate treasury notes in payment three years
after the bonds were due, and holding said notes
one year and then investing them in Confederate
States securities, held liable for the loss
He would have been excused If he had shown
that before their receipt he had made contract
for the purchase Of land to be paid for i'll the
same kind OF notes which, without fault OIL his
part, had miscarried, or even If lie had proved,
after their acceptance, active endeayors to make
such purchase.
1t is no excuse for the Investment in Confedcr-
ate bonds that unless he so appropriated the
notes they were subject to large depreciation.
He voluntarily placed himself In tie position, and
must abide the consequences.
Where trustee. receiving from the debtor OF
the estate satisfaction OF the bonds in Oonfeder-
ate money, accepts his own notes in part pay
meut, and shows that the creditor was willing TO
accent such bills for his notes, and that he, the
trustee has the ready means TO replenish or &C.
