was peaceful. He suffered no pain to-

THs death OF NAPOLEON Ill. has
created a profound sensation through
out the world and has excited very
general regret The posthumous judg-
ment is rather favorable to his char
acter than otherwise, and the opinion
is freely expressed that France might
better have spared better man. LOUIS
NAPoLEoN will take his place in history
~ one OF the most judicious OF the
French monarchs and at the same time
one OF the most judicious Of mankind.
He governed with a strong hand and all
went well, but, aspiring to initiate the
achievements of his greater ancestor,
he met the failure under whose shadow
he has closed his lie. His wife,
EuGRNlR, WAS with him in the hour OF
death, but his son did not arrive from
scbool in time to receive his fathers
tinal blessing. The tuf 1-spt the young
prince will cause som Citolicitude in
France for many years to come, and II
ia not impossible that, without en-
counteriug q molety OF his fathers
hardships aud vicissitudes, he may yet
be called to the throne

tives, so called, occupied their positions.
1t was part Of the general scheme
which looked to the absorption by the
Government OF the railroads, telegraph
and express lines OF the country, and
which would make the President OF the
United States ss thorough an auto
crat as the Emperor OF Austria or
Gar OF Russia. He argued that this
was no time to engage in such vast en-
terprises; that Congress ought rather TO
be endeavoriug to reduce taxation,
Tighten burdens and enforce economy
and honest administration. He showed
that in seven years, from 1865 to 1872,
the government had collected from GUS
toms and revenue near three thousand
millions, and had realized from the sum
sl35,0O0,0Os. During the same period
