was engrcssed in those historical studies the
result of which we have in the "History of
the French Revolution" and the ''History of
the Consulate and the Empire" No man has
written SO warmly of the empire, nor has any
man who has written OF the empire written
with more caution. He was the favorite
Minister Of Louis Philippe, and since the
downfall of the kingdom, in lS4S, all the
world has looked to him as the undying friend
of the House of Orleans. The coup dftat of
1851 sent NJ. Theirs into exile, although there

His appearance in the Corps Legislatif under
Napoleon the Third reform marked the begin

always been in favor Of France having re-
stored to her the Rhine boundaries of the first
empire; but he was opposed to this war, be-
cause, as he said, France was not prepared to
fight with Prussia, far less with united Ger
many. With his European tour and his efforts
for peace we are all familiar Should he sue
ceed to power we have no choice but say he
will restore to the throne of France the grand
son Of Louis Philippe. Because he loves his
country even more than he hates Louis Napo-
leon loves the house of Orleans he is not likely
to talk any more about Rhine boundaries. NJ.

STATE HONOR AND STATE CREDIT. are
glad to see the movements now progressing in
Minnesota and North Carolina-the one to do
justice to the holders of the repudiated bonds
of 1853 and the other to extricate the
finances Of the State from their present de-
plorable condition. Every statesman in the
country should remember the ignoble fame
which Mississippi won for herself by repudia-
ton. 1t is matter for curious investigation
how far the bad faith of his native State was
instrumental in undermining the loyalty of
jefferson Davis to his country. Reputation
gathered great many bad children.

The Doings Of the Lcgisiatnre-A Warnius
to tho Democracy.

The Doings Of the Lcgis,arure-A WARNING
to tho Democracy.
The Legislature has taken a recess for ten
days. This recess will expire on the 9th
instant. The people will have noticed through
the press what their representatives have been
doing thus far They will, perhaps, have re-
marked that principal part of the proceed
ings thus far has been devoted to the business
of securing democratic majority in the House.
But what has all that amounted to? When
brought to the pinch, as it was when the bill
comforting feudal powers upon the Commis-
sioner Of Public Works in regard to our
Croton water supply was introduced, there
were members enough found on the republican
side to give the aforesaid Commissioner all
the votes he required to carry his point which
cracy. But il the democratic leaders had
taken as much pains to secure the attendance
of one of their number who did not put in an
appearance as they did to secure democratic
Assemblyman in the place OF Mr.. Twombley,
they would have saved trouble and probably
expense. AS Tue Dill upon lew
individuals power to regulate the taxable
standard Of real estate values was obnoxious
to the people and hangs fire, so the bill to
repeal the act to widen Broadway was with
drawn by force of public opinion, and new
bill to assess anew has been introduced and
probably will be passed.
The question now is, how will Governor
Hoffman act upon the several measures which
not only affect the property interests of the
citizens of New York, but the political interests
Of the democratic party all over the coun.
try? During the present recess the Governor
will probably take time to reflect upon the ex-
traordinary position in which he is placed;
and, although he may be personally predis-
posed to favor the projects of his friends and
political supporters, he will undoubtedly act
with that degree Of discretion and sagacity
which will save himself and the democratic
party from the modification of disastrous
defeat in the Presidential contest of 1872.

Congress Ycsterdny-The Appropriation

Congress Ycsterdny-The Appropriation
BiiIx-The District Of Columbia.
Both houses were engaged yesterday on ap-
preparation bills-the Senate on the bill for
the legislative, executive and judicial ex-
penses of the government, and the House on
the bill for the support Of the army. The dis
cussion on the latter bill brought up again the
question Of military interference in the State
elections, which afforded Mr.. Brooks an op-
portunity to get off one of his extraordinary
specimens of oratory, in which he drew fear
ful picture of the terrors into which the women
and children of this city were supposed to be
thrown by the presence of regiment of
infantry on Governors Island, or some other
place in the vicinity Of New York on the day
of the last election. 1t also gave to another
shining light of democracy-Mr. Jones,
Of Kentucky-an opportunity to initiate the
example Of his Senatorial colleague, Mr..
McCreery, in asserting the claim of Mrs
Custis Lee to the Arlington cemetery pro-
perty. Fortunately for Jones, the House
passed incontinently to the consideration of
another subject just as he was about to feel
the terrible weight Of Ben Buffers sarcasm
and invective. The remainder of the days
session in the House was devoted to the bust
ness of the District of Columbia. The report
of the conference committee on the bill to
create Territorial government for the District
of Columbia was agreed to, and the bill only
awaits the signature of the President to be-
come law Under the new system the Dis
trict of Columbia will have Governor and
Council, appointed by the President
House of Delegates, and delegate
in Congress elected by the people.
The legislative power is lodged in the Csun-
ell and House Of Delegates, with the veto
power in the Governor. A remarkable bill
was also passed yesterday by the House.
under which the wife or children of an inc
briate may sustain an action for damages
against the person who gives or sells intoxi-
eating liquors to the husband or father The
House held night session for debate on the
bill to establish national system Of educa-
tion. 1t was dull and dreary entertain
ment.
There was nothing of Importance in the
Senate proceedings.

has occupied SO much of the time
not nnproftably, it may be prssumed-of
counsel, and Of the litigants themselves,
contra, and Of the ever excitable mind of the
public, it may be to the interest of all to init
mate in advance-through our usual mysteri-
Gus avenues of kn0wledge-that Surrogate
Hutchiugs will deliver his decision on this day
two weeks. The worthy Surrogate, in limiting
his time, has kept in view the great issues
not the dead, but the live issues-that are at
stake, and with most commendable industry
and zeal-to once moro get over the ''long
agony, and to declare upon the will-whether
it is the right will in the right place; and with
this intent has fixed upon this early day for
his decision.

Prussian siege Against Turbulent PoIificias&
The Emperor William Of Germany il not
snly brave, stubborn and tenacious old
soldier, but he is most adroit political
strategist besides. When he had the war
against France under full headway, just before
the battle of Sedan, he found that there ex-
listed in Berlin an anti-war party, set of
secessionist politicians, a peace conclave OF
men who liked talking much better than
soldering; parties which were likely to annoy
the Executive to some extent. His Majesty
s'shut of" their steam Immediately. Berlin
was declared in a estate OF SIEGE 80 far as
the right of public meeting was concerned, and
the Executive decree has remained in force
since. Prussian Parliamentary elections are
about to be held just now, so the Emperor has
''raised the state of siege" in Berlin, in order
that the citizen electoral movement may be
unfettered. That is, he has s'uabOttled" the
city politicians for a season, 80 that they may
be enabled to associate, as he terms it, for the
purpose of public meeting. Prisoners held in
confinement fer political offences are to be ses
free to vote, but "without prejudice to their
future prosecution" The Emperor of Germany
evidently knows how to "work" the voting sys-
tenn in Prussia. The politicians may associate
under sort of temporary habeas corpus right,
and the jail men are come out to the polls
with sort of running moose ligature round
their necks. The straight administration
war ticket will win in Berlin.

banking anu commercial houses In the world.
Their credit and standing are as good at home
and abroad as those Of any of the famous
banking and merchant princes we hear SO
much about. while personally they are more in
dependent in conducting their business affairs.
Becoming thus so powerful an engine in pro-
noting the welfare Of mankind and in iuflu-
encing the human mind, is it not humiliating
to see decent newspaper men STOPPING to bar
ter away their independence by accepting
"deadhead" ticket for any purpose whatever? !?
For ourselves we desire to have it distinctly
understood that we do not thank railroad or
steamboat companies, or hotel keepers or the
atrical managers for ''deadheading" any per-
son representing himself to be an employe of
the HERALD. All our attaches are gentlemen
who, when on Office business, are prepared to
pay their way all others may be set down as
imposters.
In conclusion, while throwing out these sug-
gestions to our friends of the press who are
soon to assemble in the fourishing city Of
Akron, we sincerely hope they will enjoy
themselves, that they will act with their usual
professional courtesy and modesty, that they
will preserve their impersonality as far as pos
sible, and, above all, that they will arouse them
selves to a sense of their own independence
and dignity by casting off forever the intoler
able yoke Of ''deadhead" despotism.
