The Latest News from France.

The Bordeaux government, having seen fit to
set itself up as the judge of the qualifications of
candidates fer the National Assembly, has re-
ceived very forcible hint in the shape of the
protests from the opposition press that such
dictation would not go down with the people
In this act of the Bordeaux government there
is shown the very worst tendencies of the
radicals The proceeding is entirely non-
republican. and possesses many Of the worst
traits of Imperialism. In period such as
France is now passing through the widest
scope should be given to the people in order
that they might have an opportunity Of fully
expressing their views and casting their votes
as they deem best. 1t is the French people,
not the politicians, who are to decide whether
France is to remain a republic or return to
Imperialism or whether continuance of the
war is preferable to the securing of peace.
Gambetta and Company believe that they are
the nation and have power to regulate things
their own way but for the sake of France we
hope the result of the approaching elections
will teach them to think otherwise.

At a recent meeting OF the Lower House OF the
Prussan Diet the resolution passed at the war meet

that the commission should take note Of the resoIu.
ton.
In reference to the resolution, Deputy wehrenpren.

tents OF the resolution, allow me to give some nfor
nation which have received from the mouth OF a
well known and worthy German-American,
Frederick Kapp, who is specially known
through his writings on emigration. as to
the actual meaning OF this so.called war
meeting. The president or the meeting Herr

theories OF Karl Helntze and collaboration on ne.
signatures are obsure persons OF whom nobody
knows anything. At the highest calculation not
more thai 800 Germans took part In the meeting;

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Feb. 8, 1871.
The HERALD correspondent in Brussels tele-
graphs brief but interesting letter from the
Belgian capital. 1 transmit its contents by
cable despatch to New York.
The HERALD correspondent dates in Brus-
sells on the I'd instant, and reports as fol-
lows:-The peace negotiations which are being
conducted between France and Prussia at
Versailles, by NJ. Jules Farve on the part or
the republic, and Count Bismarck speaking for
the German empire, have been reported TO The
Bonapartsts In this city.
The intelligence has produced a very great
degree Of CONSERVATION in the camp Of the
Napoleon imperialists, from the fact that ths
supporters of the fallen dynasty had hithert,
hoped to treat for settlement of the war din
Guilty directly with the Prussian Premier, and
thus be enabled to return personally to France
after the conclusion of treaty of peace.
EFFORTS TO RETURN TO FRANCE.
The Bonaparte party leaders, resident in
Belgium, are making desperate efforts, even
yet, to obtain permission to enter into negotia-
tions with the Prussian government.
M. Rouher, ex-Minister of the empire haa
set out from Brussels for Versailles, commits
stoned to diplomatize in this direction, and
Vscount Cont has departed for Wilhelmshohe
with the intent of strengthening the same line
Of policy.
EUGENE.
There is a report prevalent to-day to the
effect that her Majesty the Empress Eugene
has arrived in Brussels from Chiselhurst, ac-
companied by the Princess Mathilde.

Congress Yosterday-Thc Veterans Of 1919
Aid for France-The Naval Bill.
The Senate passed yesterday, after dis
cussion which occupied most Of the day, bill
granting pensions to all the surviving soldiers
OF the war Of 1912 who served three months,
and to such widows of soldiers as were married
at the time of that war. 1t had been proposed
TO extend the benefits Of the bill to widows,
whether married at the time or subsequently,
but Mr. Sherman estimated the number Of such
widows at fifty thousand and the sum neces-
sary to pay them at five millions a year. 1t
was, therefore, restricted to the COM
paratively small number surviving of
those who were married sixty years
ago. We do not think that this bill will
cause a very heavy draft on the Treasury, and
we think there are few who will not approve
of the national tribute to the veterans of the
second war of Independence. This is the same
measure that passed the House last session,
but amendments have been attached to it. 1t
will have to go back to the House for concur
renee.
In the House yesterday the Senate resolu-
ton for aid to the sufferers by the war in
Europe was taken up aud concurred in. The
Naval Appropriation bill was under considera-
ton in Committee of the Whole, and was not
concluded when the committee rose. Both
houses will be in session to-day.

OF denomination for Grant. The reduction Of
the national debt and the faithful collection OF
the public revenues Is not bad record, it is
true. Yet what less should the public require
of an honest servantp But the republican
party must flavor their platform with spice.
st. Domingo may do very well if the Presi
dents policy should be carried out. Cuba
would have done better; but that chance is
lost. 1t was frittered away by an imbecile
Cabinet.
Meantime this political revolution in the
West and South claims grave attention. Radi-
calism is disntegrated in Missouri The
detection is creeping into the neighboring
States, for the action of Missouri is looked
upon as an example to be followed The
West looks to the nomination of Western
man for the next Presidency. Governor
Brown is probably regarded as hopeful can
didate; Marshall, OF Illinois, has aspirations
in that direction; Hendricks, of Indiana, and
Judge Thurman, Of Ohio, are, as we know,
always in the field, with a fair support behind
them. They all look to the Democratic
National Convention for endorsement. Thus
the West will trot out goodly team of can
didates for the Presidency, claiming that, as
Missouri and the Southern States have done
so well for the democratic party, they are
entitled to recognition at its hands. 1t is in
the West then, that we must look for the
most significant signs of the times in view of
the campaign Of 1872.

The Bonaparte Dynasty and the Franco
Prussiau Negotiations.

Prussiau Negotiations.
The special cable telegram report from
Brussels which we publish to-day assures us
that the members of the Bonapartist party
resident in the neutral central continental
focus Of the Belgian capital are vastly alarmed
by the intelligence which they have received
relative to the progress of the Franco-Prus-
sian negotiations for peace, as they are or
have been conducted by Bismarck and Favre
at Versailles. The imperialists fear that they
will be left ''out in the cold" after the war is
terminated. Their grand object is to get back
to Paris. With this in view they are making
desperate efforts to ''ob!ain permission
such are the humiliating words-to open
diplomatic parley with the Prussians. M.
Rouher, the ex-imperiallst French Minister
of State, has set out from Brussels for Yer
sailles, and Viscount Cont has taken his de-
parture for Wilhelmsh6he. Eugene and the
Princess Mathilde are said to have reached
Belgium from Chiselhurst, so that the entire
force Of interest Of the Napoleon family is again
in active play. The Bonapartists may be
seeking to clay pipe" for the French elections.
Whether they can accomplish success at the
polls or otherwise remains to be seen. The
Parliament may regenerate the French nation,
or it may look on royal restorations as being
dangerous to the democracy.

A susseuhon fer tho Naval seaG:

It has been proposed, and very properly,
that, to transport the provisions intended for
suffering France, one or more vessels Of the
navy should be placed by the government at
the service OF the committee having the charity
In charge. So far 80 good and now we have
another suggestion to make in connection
Herewith, which is as follows There are q
vast number of sick and wounded among the
French, and while we propose to do some
thing for the hungry let us remember the
Others also and send few additional surgeons
and physicians to minister to their wants. 1t
can best be done in this manner Let every
ship detailed for the duty of carrying supplies
be oficered entirely by surgeons, q surgeon
ranking with captain to be placed in CON-
mand; passed assistant and assistant sur
geons to act as watch officers, and the sur
geons' stewards and apothecaries will answer
for the forward aud petty officers. Here Is a
first rate chance for these gentlemen. If they
claim the right to command let US give them
the opportunity to prove their ability. They
must not be interfered with; everything must
be given up to them for the cruise. The ship
must be truly in the doctors hands this time,
leaving the paymasters and engineers to have
their chance hereafter. 1t will be happy
family there will be no trouble about rank,
no row as to who shall 60 over the gangway
first, no little unpleasantncss about the num-
Der of side boys, no ill-feelng about asking
permission to 60 on shore. No; everything
will move smoothly, excepting, probably, the
ship itself. This may give some trouble,
but nothing worth speaking of. Now is the
right time and here is the opportunity to set
tie this question Of rank and command without
the aid Of Congress. Give them, Mr.. Secre-
tary Of the Navy, the chance to show what
they can do, and then let the country see-if
the provisions don't spoil before they reach the
haven-where they would be.

OUR New PosT OFFICE. E.-Congress has
voted the sum of FIVE hundred thousand
dollars for the continuation of the new
Post Office. Superintendent Hulburd is re-
ported as saying that if the required amount
of money had been promptly appropriated the
building could have been completed within two
years from this time, and at cost of four
million dollars but that now about five years
and probably five million doll ars will be re-
quired. We do not understand this sort Of
architectural reasoning. Taking the building
just as it is we cannot comprehend why Eve
years, or four or three should be required to
complete it. 1t ought to be done inside of two
years, and if the Superintendent will only
hurry we dare say that our city delegation in
the House Of Representatives will see to it
that Congress hurries up the appropriation.
Surely they are at least equal TO this duty in
behalf of their constituents and of the country
at large; for in New York city Post Office.
where its enormous business can be rapidly
and systematically discharged, the whole coun-
try is directly interested.

THE KEEsINGToN BANK, of Philadelphia,
was robbed on Thursday night of one hundred
thousand dollars on new and improved plan
Three burglars went to the bank as special
policemen and notified the cashier that it was
to be robbed that night, and that they had
been detailed to guard it, They were admit
ted, and the rest was easy. They overpowered
the watchman aud robbed the vaults contain
ing customers deposits at their leisure. This
is another progressive step in the art and
science Of rascaity, and deserves to take rank
with the delicate forgery which we chronicled
some time ago.

JOHN WARE, the convicted murderer Of his
father, now in Jail in Camden, N. j., is one Of
the murderers who doesn't believe in death
bed repentances, He refuses all religious
counsel or comfort, and certainly seems
beyond the pale of all Christian hope.
