THE EVENING NEWS.
GOLD HILL. SATURDAY. APRIL 4. 1874


A few days since we referred to tho
fact that one Busl, q correspondent Of
the st. Louis Repu6iicdn and Detroit
Free Press. had been expelled from
the Reporters Gallery In the United
States Senate by order Of Senator Fer
~, Of Michigan. The offsnss Of Mr..
Busl was In t~elsgraphlng to his papers
that Senator Chandler Senator Fer
rvs colleagus) appeared on the floor
Of the Senate Chamber In a state Of
besstly i~ntoxlcation, and had to DO re-
msved to m adjoining committee room
where he lay upon n sofa aud slept oil
the results Of his dcbauch. The Free
Press offered Its columns to Mr.. Chan.
dlsr for = dlsproval Of this statement,
at the same time asserting It's faith In
Its correspondent and the reliability OF
hls communication. BY a dispatch
from Washington we are informed
that Mr.. Bucl was yesterday arrested
on q criminal charge on q warrant
sworn out by Senator Chandler, and
that no was released on 5 1000 bail fur
nlshed BY Don Piatt, editor OF the
Washington Capital. Tho dispatch
does not state the grounds upon which
tho warrant was issued, but it has un-
dsabtsdly something to do with the
circumstances before mentioned. IL
Chandler was guilty OF a public aud
d~lsgracsful exposure Of his known
weakness upon the Senate floor, 1t viii
be hard to convince anyone that n re-
porter had not the right to give such
fac, as q matter Of news. II, on the
contrary, the statement was 4 hbriea-
ten, wilful or accidental, tho otlsnd-
lug correspondent deserves prsseeu-
ton and punishment. Il was his duty
to fully assure himself OF the truth OF
hi, communication before publishing
tho same. We shall, doubtless, hear
moro Of this matter, which Is, TO say
the least, either d~isgracefal to the Sem
ator or criminal In tho correspondent.

TnE lnflationlsts In the Senate seem
to have received a shock by the recent
speech Of Mr.. Jones, and a still further
Que /, probably In store. Dispatches
from Washington say that there Is no
doubt that the President has prepared
a message on financss. In which he
urges Congress to pass no Imitation
measure, and refers to the laws and
tho pledge, OF the Republican party
In which a speedy return to specie
payment Is promised. 1t Is to be hoped
he will send 1t to Congress without
delay.

ship have been thrown away by the men who
should have been his Warmest supporters.
The lesson we learn from it is that no profes-
sion, no calling of modern times is more
heartless than the profession of politics.
The spectacle of this venerable, celebrated
and very meritorious citizen--hs gray head
crowned with the gathered honors of o half
century of honest public service, a hero in
two wars, and always at the call of the people
when special work was necessary-forced
into canvass to sustain Grants administra-
tion and abandoned in the heart of the strife
to serve baser and personal ambitions, is one
of the saddest even in these sad days of
modern politics. 1t is hard to see gentleman
of the old school ruthlessly thrown into the
ditch by the hireling adventures of modern
partisanship.
As the canvass now stands, if Governor
Dix wins, as win he may, it will be in spite of
Mr.. Conkling, Mr.. Morgan and their followers,
because of his name, his services and the
high place he holds in the affections of the
people Of New York. If he fails, as seems very
probable, it will be because his failure seems
to be necessary to the ambition of Mr.. Morgan
to be Senator and Mr.. Conkling to be Presi-
dent.

The Orleans Princes In Our Civil
War.

War.
The interesting and instructive volumes of
the Comte de Paris, reviewed in our columns
a few days since, vividly recall the period,
almost exactly thirteen years ago, when the
two grandsons Of King Louis Philippe came
to this country and offered their services on
the Union side. The generous ardor of those
princely youths is one of the most pleasing
"reminiscences of that successful struggle. It
recalled at the time the services of the Illus
trious Lafayette, who also put aside the
fashionable gayeties and festivities, which are
so attractive to young men of high birth and
splendid connections, to engage in struggle
for great principles in distant land When
the Princes of the House of Orleans offered
their services in our late civil war they acted
part which should endear them to their own
beautiful country-the France which they so
love and cherish. The prompt dedication of
their swords to the cause Of the Union was
rebuke to the despot who then ruled their
country. Napoleon III. was the most dan
gerous and the most insolent of our Euro
pean enemies during our great struggle to
maintain the national unity. 1t is notori-
Gus part OF the history of that period that he
kept urging Great Britain to unite with him
in recognizing the independence of the South,
and if the British aristocracy had not stood in
fear Of the British people the French Empe-
ror would have carried his point. When the
Orleans princes crossed the Atlantic to fight
tor the Union they made noble protest
against the despotism which then held France
in helpless paralyzation at the same time that
they performed generous act to the Ameri-
can Republic, whose birth had been assisted
by the chivalrous Lafayette. Accordingly it
did not surprise us to find in the Comte de
Paris able history Of the war that he so fully
appreciates the free institutions which enabled
our country to triumph.
1t is the uniform and admiring testi-
mony of such of our citizens and
army officers as enjoyed opportunities Of
intercourse with the Orleans princes while
they served on General McClellans staff, that
they deported themselves with the modesty,
reserve and propriety which beftted their
princely birth and contingent expectations.
The younger Of the two brothers-the Due de
Chartres- under less restraint than the
heir apparent Of the House of Orleans, and his
intercourse with the officers of our army wat
as free, companionable and hilarious as i
| would have been With military officers Of ranl

The Drives In Central Park.

In many respects New York is glorious
city and perhaps in nothing more than its
Central Park But even the Park is in many
respects an experiment There is an English
proverb that it takes two hundred years to
make gentleman and three hundred years
to make q lawn. When we criticise our Park
we must remember that it is the creation of a
very few years, and that nature while build
ing surely builds slowly. But while we are
about it we should take care to copy the best
points of the famous parks of the Old World.
Furthermore, we should have real park, and
not landscape picture seen at its best from
o soaring balloon. The Office OF park is to
comfort, brighten and invite the people, to
give tired humanity breathing place, to coax
men, women and children into wholesome
communion with nature. In some respects
cur Central Park fulfls this Office very i'm
perfectly. Take the bridle-path, which is
such feature in the Bois de Boulogne, the
Vienna Prater and Hyde Park. We have
no great ride, drive or social exchange,
where everybody can see every body,
which is one of the purposes OF
park. In Hyde Park, for instance,
there is the Rotten row, where all London
that is London assemblies for observation
and interchange of courtesies. There is
what is called the Tour of the Lake in the
Bois de Boulogne, no less fashionable and
attractive. But our bridle-path and our car
riage drives are something like wildcat
Western railroads, they begin nowhere and go
nowhere. The drive is isolated and solitary,
and sentimental people who have views about
ghosts avoid it. Then there are queer
bridges, which frighten the horses, and while
the carriage drive goes in one direction the
bridle-path goes in another, instead OF run
ming parallel, as should be. In the policy of
growth and improvement, which we trust
always to see characterize the management
of the Park, this should be amended, and we
should have Rotten row or Tour of the
Lake. or, what is even better, q wide, shaded,
spacious drive like the Prado in Madrid.
where people could see each other, and with
contiguous bridle-path for horsemen who
desired to join the gay and friendly throng
