c;,,oo then he has fitted about in Italy ana

Zoo corpulent for ghost. But at last, IN

his letter shows the Corsican Uerpe and bitter
ness. IL il not difficult to imagine the mo-
tiyes which have driven him to this
unusual effort. IL il gall and worm
wood to him to speak in defense of the
Emperor He has never concealed the con-
tempt with which he regards him, as sham
and fraud in name. in pretension, and IN
every relation. He feels it AZ burning
wrong that he, with his genuine Italian blood
and Napoeonic profile, should be subordinate
to this Dutch changeling. But he has been
forced to curb his scOrn and accept the gifts
that fortune has bestowed by the Imperial
hand. He would not admit that the gentle
man in the Tuileries was bis cousin, but ne
could not forget that through him the Palais
Royal was his home, and place was his on
the steps of the throne. After few months
of exile he began to realize what it meant to
have lost his Princeton. Il was very pleas
ant while in Paris to talk democracy to the
patricians of the Senate, but the serious bust
ness of life after all was to touch the million
of the Imperial dOtatiOn. Joseph H., who was
better democrat himself than palace well
could harbor. said one day, "The trade Live
"by is that of royalist." Our eloquent radi-
cal. Napoleon jerome, has evidently come to
the same conclusion. He sees his hopes of
future ease, and the chance of the crown, winch
il only removed from him by the narrow span
of the little Montijo's life, fading away in the
stubborn Discrimination of France to recall her
fallen tyrant. He sees there is possibility of
the Republic surviving the intrigues of secret
enemies and the madness of open friends.
He sees the old monarchcal parties plotting
for the throne, as if the Bonapartes no longer
existed. He launches this illumination against
the head of the Republican party i'll the Cab
met and the country. artfully charging upon
him and his colleagues the whole train of dis
asters which the Empire precipitated upon
France.
Prince Napoleon - too clever man to be-
leve one word oN this arrangement lie
charges Mr.. Favre with repeated capltulatl0nS.
What has he to say of the figure which the
Empire cut at SedanY lie says the Emperor
could have obtained better terms from Ger
many than those actually granted. Then why
did he skulk from all responsibility when
Bismarck received him, saying he surrendered
only himself-that his wife at Paris was now
the head of the firm. The Prince denonces the
grandiloquence of the promises of defense made
by the Government of September. This sounds
10 ,,onth of pbamnOu of
that grotesque Empire which went to war
with a comedians equipment OF tlnsel and
fanfaronade. This scurrilous manifesto Is only
intended to impress the rural masses, among
whom both the NapOleOns found their bllndest
adherents 1t is as easy as it is diSngenuous to
persuade the unthinking peasantry that under
the Emperor they had peace and under the
Republic they have had war, and that this
wicked Mr. Favre is the cause of it all.
The Prince concludes by the unfailing pana-
cea of his hOuse-give us plebiscltum. IL
has been manipulated so often by dishonest
hands into semblance of unanimous support,
that the Bonapartes rely upon it as implicitly
as Mr. Weller relied upon an alibi. He thinks
this is the game which will circumvent all OPP
position, and although he appears to dread
the Republic most of all, he does not
close without a vicious little dig at his
brother-pretenders. lie wishes it distinctly
appreciated that the hope of the country Is
mot in a principle which is the negation OF
"modern society; in white flag which France
"no longer remembers; i'll the negation OF
universal suffrage in the white terror sue
"ceedng the red terror; in the fusion OF pre-
"tenders in the return of the French Stuarts;
ait is not thus that France can find the haven
"of safety" There is evidently but one name
whereby the afflicted people of France can be
saved and that name His Highness ID too
modest to pronounce.
