NAPOLEON,

Napoleon's return to France is
not very probable. if he adheres to
the determination recently express.
ed at Wilhelmshoehe. He is report,
ed by a \. Y. Herald correspondent
to have said:
1t would be quite we'll" he said
''if it were publicly understood
that l never intend to remount the
throne on the strength of a military
pronunciamento, by the aid of the
Isoldiery just as little as by that OF
Prussia. ] am the sole sovereign
who governs next by the grace OF
God by the will of the people, and ]
shall never be unfaithful to the or.
igin of either. The whole people
which has four times approved OF
my election must recall me by its
deliberate votes, else l shall never
return to France. The army pos
sesses no more right to place me on
the throne than had the lawyers oil
loafers to push me from it. The
French people whose sovereign
am has the sole decision"
There is Scriptural authority for
not putting trust in princes, and we
doubt if the most credulous of the
ex-Emperor's opponents will rest
any easier on account of the report
ed moderation of his views.

Reelection.
@-

The law making this reduction
postponed its operation so that deal
ers might prepare for it. Conse
quently large quantities of these ar
ticles have accumulated in the gov
ernment warehouses. to be drawn
out after the new tariff has gone
into effect. Consumers are entitled
to an immediate reduction of the
above rates and the advance which
was charged on them the same as on
the other elements of wholesale cost.
Family grocers may do well by Civ
ing to their customers conspicuous
notice of this reduction in their
prices. The times demand every
reduction in the cost of living that
can reasonably be made. Farmers
are selling their wheat at about a
dollar, their corn at from 40 to SO
cents, their pork for 81. These
prices do not circulate money as
freely as formerly, and all kinds of
wages are declining.

CONGRESS-.

Dispatches from Washington at
half past three on the 9th say that
q great deal of excitement exists on
the San. Domingo resolution. Mr..
Orth hal first received a motion to
suspend the rules to take up Mr..
Morton's resolution from the table
and pass it. 1t was believed that
he had enough recruits to make the
tro- thirds. The Democrats COM
menced fillibustering again. The
refusal of Mr.. Orth to allow de-
bate on the amendment enraged the
opposition to the measure. Several
members of the Cabinet and many
Senators were on the floor Of the
House, together with the President,
Secretary, Gen. Porter, urging the
members to vote for the resolu
ton.

TR0CHU IN BAD 0D0R.

At last a cry has been raised
against Trochu. He is accused of
feebleness, which, in the estimation
of the French people, is nearly as
much a crime as treachery. 1t is
not possible to know what difficult
ties may have surrounded the French
general in his defense of Paris, but
certainly no remarkably vigorous
sorties have been made. A curious
rumor is current to the effect that
the Prussians, in the event of a sat
isfactory treaty of peace not being
agreed upon, will hold France as
conquered territory, by holding the
forts around the city and keeping
up a line of military communication
with Prussia. This necessity will
hardly arise we think, or be submit
ted to, even if it should occur.

SIR WALTER SCOTT,

Scotland is making preparati ons
to celebrate the hundredth anniver-
sary of Sir Walter Scott's birth
next August. The centennial an
niversary of the great bard's birth
will doubtless be grand affair, and
one in which the HIghlanders will
enthusiastically take part. Abbotts-
ford is still the property of the fam
lily of the poet, and retains, in many
respects the appearance it wore dur
ing the lifetime of its famous own
er. Its present owner, NJ. Lockhart
Scott's biographer, married the
daughter of Sir Walter. The fami,
ly of the poet also survives in Mr.
Hope Scott, leader of the 'parliamen
tsry bar" of England, who is reput
ed to have the most lucrative prac,
tice of any English counsel, making
over 100000 year by his speeches
before committees Of the lords and
commons

A DARING CRIME.

One day last week. just as the 500
Boston train started from the depot
at Albany to cross the Hudson river
bridges man sprang on to the Amer
lean Express Company's car and
shot the express messenger, Thos.
A. Halpine, through the neck, in the
right eye,and in the right ear. The
robber then took the keys from the
messenger end opened the safe, from
which he distracted $2,259 in, bills.
He accomplished all this while
crossing the bridge, and, arriving at
East Albany, jumped off the train
and made his escape. The crime
was not discovered until the train
had stood at East Albany depot
some minutes, when the wounded
messenger crawled to the door of
the car and attracted attention. He
was Immediately taken to the city
Hospital, and, Notwithstanding his
terrible wounds, is able to converse
and give an account of the robbery.
Halpine resides in this city. His
recovery is not considered possible.
The robber is described as about
five feet and ten inches high, wear
ing a moustache and goatee and
dressed in dark clothes, and had on
a dark cap. The detectives are on
the alert, and the early capture of
the robber and murderer is hoped
for,

OHIO LEGISLATURE,

On Wednesday of last week the
Senate was not in session, having
adjourned over to give the use of its
hall to the State Agricultural Con
vention.
The House met at 10 A. NJ, and
took the back track on its action the
previous day, by adopting the Sen
ate joint resolution for going into
convention on Thursday, in order to
count the votes cast for State of
ficers at the election last fall.
On Thursday the following
amendment to Section 164 of the
Criminal Code, which was passed
last session, but not signed, was
signed and is now law:
when a case is finally submitted
to the jury they must be kept to-
gether in some convenient place,
under the charge of an officer, until
they agree upon verdict, or are dis
charged by the Court. The officer
having them in charge shall not suf-
fer any communication to be made
to them, or make any himself, ex-
cept to ask them if they agreed up
on the verdict, unless by order of
the Court, nor shall he communicate
to any one before the verdict is de-
livered any matter in relation to the
state of their deliberations. If the
jury are permitted to separate dur
lug the trial, they shall be admon-
ished by the Court that it is their
duty not to converse with, or suffer
themselves to be addressed by, any
other person on the subject of the
trial, or to listen to any converse
tion upon the subject; and that it is
their duty not to form ro express an
opinion thereon until the case is
finally submitted to them"
Quite a number of bills were intro
duced in both houses on Friday, but
no very important business was
transacted.

THE WAR,

A new phase seems to be devel,
oping. A dispatch from Havre,
dated the Sd, reports that Bourba.
XII is marching on Germany, and
Chanzy at Lemans, is pushing
ahead. The French troops are in
flying columns. Sixteen thousand
troops are said to be in Havre, and
twenty thousand outside in the
neighborhood of Balbec, exclusive
of regulars and cavalry. A for,
ward movement was commenced,
and a general exodus by railroad
was reported. The Herdlds spe-
cial correspondent at Versailles
writes that on the I'd the bonn
bardment of the forts on the north
east of Paris continues vigorously
and is uninterrupted by any thing.
The return fire is weak, especially
from Noisy and Rosny, and the de-
struction of the forts is certain.
Events are evidently pressing to-
ward a climax.
A battle was fought near Bapaume
by the army of the north on the
Sd instant, in which both sides
claim the victory. The fighting
lasted about ten hours. Losses on
both sides were heavy. The vii
lagos of Bapaume and Dehaignies
were totally destroyed.
Fort DeIssy has been silenced.
The French defenders of Havre are
retiring to st. Romaine as the Prus-
slams advance. A dispatch from
Bordeaux says the Germans on Fri
day attacked the French positions
at Villechanve, Villeporcher and St.
Cyr sur Gault, and afterward forced
the French lines at MELVILLE. The
French at night took the offensive,
reoccupied all their positions, and
entered St. Aurend. The Germans
retired toward Vendome.
A dispatch from Lille announces
that the losses in the battle Of Ba-
paum were 5000 Germans 1000
French. 1t is said that one hundred
thousand French have arriv ed at
Cherbourg to equip for active SER
rice. Reports are so contradictory
that it is almost impossible to get a
idea of the situation. Several forts
around Paris however have evident
ly been silenced.
The battle along the Seine, be-
tween the Germans and French, is
reported by both parties as having
been exceedingly severe, involving
heavy losses. 1t is quite evident
that the general result of the fight
ing during the past two weeks has
been favorable to the French, but
not sufficiently so to warrant any
hope of relief for Paris, or Of i'm
provement in the prospects Of the
French cause.

VACANCIES FILLED.

The President of the Ohio Senate
has filled the vacancies in the Stand
ing Committees caused by the resig-
nation of Senators during the vaca-
ton. A resolution was adopted by
the House, providing for a commit
tee to examine into the reasons for
locating the Soldiers Orphans
Home at Xenia, instead of White
Sulphur Springs. Messrs. Parr,
Fitch, Cullen, Sterling and Joy were
appointed said committee. The
majority and minority reports in the
election contest against Glover, Re
publican Representative from Scioto
county, where presented. The ma
jority report is in favor of Glover.

GREATLY TROUBLED.

Those bilious individuals who
have been prophesying the election
of a Democratic senator from Mis-
souri, as a consequence of the Repub-
lican split and the resignation. OF
Senator Drake-and among them is
Senator Drake himself-will be vast
ly cheered by the news that the two
wings of the Sepublicar party have
met, shaken hands, made up and
agreed on an organization. A
special to the st, Louis Democrat
says the Democrats are greatly
troubled at this, and that the united
Republicans are confident of ma
jority on joint ballot, and work
Ing majority in the house.

AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELDS.
More and Wonderful Discoveries.

Diamonds of great value continue
to be found in large numbers at the
Cape. While the old diamond tracts
are losing none of their popularity,
new tracts have been discovered
The diggings now extend over a
hundred miles of country, and the
population has reached fifteen thou,
sand. Fortune, however, is as fitful
as ever, and good and bad luck are
experienced pretty much in the
same proportion.
The other day an old couple, liv-
ing in great poverty, and earning a
few occasional cents by carrying
fire wood to the tents of the diggers,
picked up large diamond worth
about $4,000. Their anxieties for
this life are consequently over.
Three poor Cape Town fishermen,
who had fought with fortune and
ocean storms for over thirty years,
sold their boat and fishing tackle
and went TO the diggings. After a
few weeks absence they returned
worth over $4,000. A farmer, who
was among the first to go diamond
hunting, hunted in vain for a long
time, and had just sold his walking
stick for shilling, and was about
to start for home, when he accident
ally stumbled over two gems which
have realized 100000. A shoe
niaker,a carpenter,and waiter went
from Natal to the diamond tracts,
and in n week or two had stones in
their possession which have brought
$T50,000. One of the gems weigh
ed 105 carats.
A man of intelligence, who has
been on the spot for some time, says
that to talk of exhaustion is to talk
of what cannot happen in this cen
tury under any circumstances.
Some diggers are, however, wholly
unsuccessful, and are suffering the
extreme of poverty; but, rs a rule,
this is their own fault. Persons
who come properly equipped and
prepared for hard work are invaria-
bly, successful, sooner or later.

sion, he was accustomed to say he
could count a hundred men who
were beyond comparison filter for
the presidential office than Mr.. Lin
coin. Yet Mr.. Sumner was only too
glad to aid in the reelection of the
president whose abilities he had
thus ridiculed.

Popularity Of Gen. Schenck in England.

Mr.. Thornton, ihe British Min
lister, in conversation to-day, eS-
pressed much satisfaction at the ap-
pointment of Gen. Schenck as Min
lister to England. He has great faith
in the good judgment of Gen.
Schenck, and he thinks he will pro.
duce favorable impression upon the
officials and the people of England.
Mr.. Thornton has no information
from his Government that the fishery
question is to be adjusted at Wash
ington. He regards it important,
however, that some action should
be taken before the commencement
of the fishing season, in order to
prevent difficulty between the New
England fishermen and the people
of the New Dominion.

PIrTsroN, Pa, May 3l.-The jury
summoned by the coroner to sit on the
dead bodies of twenty miners sufocated
in the West Pittston shaft, SATURDAY,
brought in a verdict by which Blake X
Co, owners OF the mines, are mildly
censured for permitting so many to
work at once in shaft with but one
opening. Mr. Williams, Mining In
spector OF the District, is held by the
jury responsible for neglect Of duty in
failing to make sure that means OF exit
and arrangements for safety were COM
plete and proper. A severe censure
is passed upon him in the verdict.
Williams has strangely called another
jury TO hold second inquest for the
purpose OF indicating him and it is
now in session. There is no law to
authorize the holding OF second in

the step as an effort on the part Of the
