Empire. If he yielded to popular olamor and
granted 10 the French people more liberty
than they knew rightly how to use, the blame,
If blame their was, was more theirs than his.
In most difficult circumstances he did what
seemed to him best If he has left France in
chaos he has left the world legacy
of good. It was he who more
than any other man made Italy a
unit. and We know no unprejudiced
mind that will refuse to admit that the unity
of Italy has. been gain to the cause of pro-
gressive civilization. 1t was he who, by his
teachings and by the persistent and practical
development of his theories, brought about
the unifcation of Germany; and. although the
uni6cation of Germany implied the temporary
humiliation of France, German unity must be
regarded as worlds benefit. In the council
room and in the field of battle this man, who
is now no more, proved himself great; and it
is not unfair to say that his 'Life of julius
Cesar" furnishes abundant evidence that.
while thinking of himself of his family and
of France, in all that he did and in
all that he wrote he thought even more
of the destinies and of the welfare of
mankind. No ruler in these times hasfgured
SO prominently no one has told SO much on
his day and generation, nor has any one No
vealed so much searching and far-reaching
thought. II he failed, he failed only as his
uncle failed, as Caesar failed, and as hundreds
of great men have failed before him. He is
gone, but his works remain, and in the great
future we feel satisfied that while his faults
will be forgotten his works will be regarded as
the best and most enduring monument. What
France thinks of his death we only begin to
learn but, unless we greatly mistake his death
will produce deep and genuine sorrow. France
the Emperor by the dfchkance, and
France will yet see and confess her error. The
restoration of the Empire is rendered more
certain by the death Of the Emperor.
Senators Conkiing, Cameron, &c.-They
Have Thor Reward.
Roscoe Conkling by the unanimous vote in
caucus of the republicans Of our State Legisla-
ture, has been nominated for another term in
the United States Senate, which is equivalent
to his election by the overwhelming majority
which the republicans in both houses COM
mand. In the same way, by the almost unani-
nous vote in caucus Of the republicans of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, Simon Cameron, as
one Of the United States Senators from that
State, has been nominated for still another

together with the reelection of Senator Morton
from Indiana and Legislature in Illinois
which secures an administration republican in
place of Senator Trumbull, were determined
in the elections of last October and November.
The October Pennsylvania election was as
much q coalition between Curtin, Mcclure and
Forney and their liberal republicans with the
democrats for the defeat of Cameron for the
Senate as it was for the benefit of Greeley and
Brown. Indeed, while that contest was fought
by the opposition as State fight. and against
the alleged corrupt affiliations and corruptions
of Hartranft and Cameron, it was fought by
the republicans as o national affair, involving
nothing less than the reelection as President
of General Grant or his defeat. Senator Cam
eron threw his whole strength into the canvass
upon this issue, and the people, accepting it as
the real issue before them, have given to Cam
eron, with Grant, the most decisive political
victory OF his long and successful career as the
Warwick of Pennsylvania. If Cameron car
ried Pennsylvania for Grant, Grant carried it
for Cameron, and thus the reelection of Cam

10 the national administration. Indeed,
apart from his active services in the
October campaign, in suppressed
ing Sumner as Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee ON Foreign Relations, had become
part and parcel of the administration cause
with the republican party, as against Sumner,
Curtin, Mcclure and Forney, and as against
Greeley and Brown. Hence this victory of
Cameron becomes the most decisive of his
whole political career.
The same judgment will apply to the defeat
of Senator Trumbull in Illinois, to the re-elec-
ton of Morton from Indiana, and to the re-
election of Conkling from New York From
the moment of Senator Fenton's fall from
grace with the administration, from the mo-
ment that Conkling was given the key to the
private door of the Custom House, Fenton and
all his confederates and liberal republican fol-
lowers devoted themselves to the shelving of
Conkling, Murphy and Grant With the
of the lamented Greeley at Balti-
more, it did appear, too, that Fenton had
Aanked Conkling but behold the crowning
RESULT The republicans, as in the cases of
Cameron and Morton, recognize the re-elec-
ton Of Conkling as the redemption of an obi
cation to him and to General Grant against
which no personal preferences will apply.
And so Conkling is renominated as the very
