Acting Secretary or the treasury.
The refusal of Mr.. Boutwell, TO grant
an extension Of time for the presentation
OF claims, in the case Of cotton, is any
thing but just. It is, wo believe. only a
short time since iJ was judicinlly decided
that the United States could not, under
the guise of taxing cotton, tax the bng
ging and ties upon tho bales, aud our
merchants were not aware, until the end
of July last, that drawback would be
allowed. The short interval Of time be-
tween that period and the 3d of August
WAS insufficient for the proper prcsenta-
tion Of MI the claims in question; yet
these claims arc now barred because
they were not sent in before. Fortu-
nntely, the decision Of the Supreme
Court is likely, i'll the end, to prove
moro prompt than departmental! red

THE POLITICIANS of the Club" seem to be
having nice growl of it all among themselves
about the way the Post Office affairs of that
little village are being managed-or misman-
aged, as the case may be. 1t is alleged that
Postmaster Burt has used his official position
to shield from punishment a reputed dishonest
employee, and had two Of his assistants ousted
because they would not keep their hands of.
The whole row may after oil be only one of
those pretty little quarrels which take place
so often between the Sins" and "outs" of gov
eminent suuggeries bat If it should turn out
to be true that the Postmaster has in any way
allotted malfeasance in Office he should be
dealt with just as though he had no political
hackers to make stout fight for him and his
mess Of pottage, and had never seen Boston
in all his lifetime.

The Last Days of the Empire.

The secret correspondence between the
Tuileries and the Emperor Napoleon during
the campaign of 1870 of which we present q
translation in another column, will form the
most valuable material to the future historian
of the fall of the second empire. These de-
spatches show how frivolously the war was
undertaken and speak with cruel eloquence
against their authors. They at once
give an idea Of the sad want of unity
in the council and conduct of the war;
Orders cross and contradict one another. The
Empress Regent and her advisers and the
Emperor and his staff at Metz were at variance
in almost everything except in the resolve 10
repair the disasters. The plan of campaign.
if there was such a thing, was made subser-
Went TO the latest caprice of the Empress and
her advisers. The misdirected energy of the
Empress and the impotence Of the Emperor
shine out plainly from these dispatches. The
first despatch-that of the Prince Imperial to
his mammals strongly suggestive of OPERA
5oufe To this Princelet the war was only a
continuation of the reviews in the Champ de
Mars, and the soldiers are enchanted" he
says. For his special military education is
organized the little affair at Saarbrick, and
the despatch announcing this feat of
arms is communicated to the press-but not in
full-for the original outdoes in folly the YER
sion which had been communicated. He took
it so cool that che seemed to be promenading
in the Bots de Boulogne." These dispatches
acquire peculiar significance since the last
speech of Trochu in the National Assembly,
whose defence, up to the 4th September, they
fully corroborate.
The confidential informations of Pietri on
the health of Napoleon are also of historical
Importance We get clear insight into
the character of the Empress. A naughty,
domineering disposition, quiet contempt for
her husband, tempered with womany devo-
tion-these were the qualities that Influenced
her whole conduct.

GOVERNOR CLAFLINs WITHDRAWAL from
the race for the candidacy of the Governorship
of Massachusetts, leaves the field open to three
strong men-Loring, Washburne and Butler
II the Gloucester fishermen, the Irish Fenians
and the strong minded women could have
their way Butler would certainly be carried
through triumphantly but as there are many
voters in Massachusetts, who favor the new
peace guarantees with England and solid
political method rather than the fantastic
tricks Of craftsmanship that Butler calls honest
politics, the Sage of Essex will probably have
to content himself with representing the
Gloucester flshermen's district in Congress.
The free, untrammelled rights of Congress
man to play the gymnast and act as a harle-
quin are more suitable to his cheerful tempera-
ment than the sober, dignned duties required
of Governor of the Commonwealth of Massa.

WHY DID Nor VICTOR EMMANUEL MAKE IT
THE FOURTH ?-The King of Italy formally
occupied Rome on the Sd of July as the CAPT j.
tai Of the Italian kingdom. Our kilograms
from that city represent that there was great
rejoicing on the occasion. 1t was great his
torical event and full Of significance. But as
Victor Emmanuel came 80 near the Fourth Of
July in celebrating formally the unity of Italy
and taking possession Of Rome as the capital,
why did he not wait one day longer and make bis
entry on that glorious day on which the liberties
OF America and of mankind were inaugurated?
We think this would have suited the Romans
and the Italian people, Victor Emmanuel is
a liberal monarch, and, perhaps, comes as
near being republican as a king can come,
just as he came near the birthday OF republ-
can freedom on this occasion. Still there Is a
long stride to make from monarchy to republi-
cauism even in Italy. Perhaps 1t will not be
many years before the Italians will have their
Fourth Of July, especially il the republic be
firmly established 10 France.

AtnS Amadeus and HIS aOvernmcut.
The young King of Spain is evidently
determined, II hard work and sympathy with
the Spaniards can do it, to win the affections
of his people. increase his popularity and give
to the country which has chosen him as its
King good, secure and strong government
The task which he aims to accomplish is diff
ficult and one full of peril. So far he has
done well; but there is no denying it that he
has made but slow progress in securing
the popularity at which he aims. The party
lines in Spain are all strongly marked, and
there Is o deep-seated feeling toward the
young foreigner which time can not
efface. The Carlists, the republicans and the
adherents of the Duke de Montpensier are all
arrayed secretly, If not openly, against him.
Even the fallen Isabella, or the Prince of
Asturias, her son, are not without friends in
the kingdom. Large numbers of the clergy
sympathize strongly with the Carlist faction !;
and this is power not to be despised. The
recollection Is still fresh In the minds OF every
intelligent reader Of the Carlist raids in differ
ent parts Of Spain prior to and after the
detbronement of the late Queen. Constant
bodies Of men crossing the French from
tiers to join the Carlist bands dis
tributed all through the provinces of the
Spanish peninsula These raids had the
effect of continually stirring up commotion and
keeping the government in state of feverish
anxiety. What transpired then may be re-
peated again by the Carlists. The letters Of
the HERALD correspondent in Madrid, which
we publish this morning, exhibits the sad
state Of affairs in the capital and the increasing
boldness of the dangerous classes. The repub-
lican party of Spain to-day Is stronger than ever
and is on the increase. From the recent con-
versation which the Duke Of Montpensier had
with representative of the HERALD we can
judge Of the estimation in which the scion of
the house of Savoy and his government is held
by his Grace and the party which clngs to him.
Though all these parties are hostile to the
young King they are by no means friendly to
each other. The Carlists are as much op-
posed to the republicans as the Montpensiers
are to the government of Amadeus. No
fusion is possible between them. In these diff
ferences there is some security. In the mean
time the young King is laboring hard to win
his way to popularity by kind acts, personal
attention to duty, minglng with the people
and overlooking many little political short
comings. He is doing his best to establish
himself in the confidence of the nation. This
course so far has worked well /; but will il
continue? No ruler could have done better
than be who now occupies the throne of Spain;
secure foundation as might lead the we'll
wishers Of Amadeus to believe that it could
sustain itself against the shock of revolution.

JUDGE BOWLING has been treated to moo
turnsl surprise party in London, says our
cable despatch. The burglars of New York,
who have sort of sneaking kindness for the
Judge, have probably notified their brethren
of the crowbar across the sea Of the departure
of their distinguished Mentor; and those Lon
don worthless being alive to the honor Of tho
occasion, may have sent deputation to wait
upon the Judge in their own quaint FASH
ion; or perhaps some of his old acquaint-
ances who. like our politicians, have
crossed the Atlantic for change OF scene, or
to recruit their health or to improve their gem
tie art by travel, CHANGED to behold the beam
ing countenance OF the Judge, and wished to
test his much Wanted memory by intruding
upon his privacy at the witching hour of night
At any rate they must have been jolly bur-
glars. They could not have had serious
purpose, for the Judge ''unaided beat them
off," Moral-That International courtesies are
practlsed even among burglars.
O'KELL, THE BROKER, convicted OF receiv-
ing and selling stolen bonds of the Norwak
Bank, was sentenced yesterday TO FIVE years
in the State Prison. The crime Of dealing in
stolen bonds has such a respectable appear
ance about 1t that there is reason to believe
that it is becoming very prevalent among
that apparently honorable class Of brokers
who, while fixing up gold or stock corners
to make fortunes on their neighbors' ruin,
would yet scorn to handle Jimmy" or forge
a signature, and it is high time some example
was made of these criminals The sentence
of O'Kell, who has heretofore borne q high
character for honesty and has emiuently re-
specially family connections, will serve that
purpose fullv
