that the Village Of Brattlcboro has been

4 HEREDITARY 4DVENTURRR

"The Prince Imperial" of France, as he is
called by courtesy, is perhaps the most I'M
fortunate lad in Europe. He has been trained
to believe that he has legitimate right to
the scepter of ST. Louis, whereas there is not
a newsboy in the streets of New-York whose
title to the French throne is not just as good
as his. The Bonaparte family has achieved
municipalities, titles. wealth, and marked
place in history-but it never has attained
the advantage of legitimacy. There must al
ways be another revolution before there can
be another regnant Bonaparte. The family has
no place of its Own-it must steal one. 1t is
like the cuckoo among birds--it must always
gain nest by trespass. The founder of the
family fortunes or misfortunes had an instinc-
tive sense of this, and before the birth of the
King of Rome he wasted great deal of
astuteness, besides fomenting innumerable
family feuds, by trying to settle the success
sion. He never settled anything. In some
respects, he was . stage-king who wears his
robes royalty during the pageant, and then
goes to some squalid cabaret to drink thin
wine. Created of change, the Napoleon family
has always been its victim. When Louis
Napoleon went to the throne, smeared with
anu ny MtllSut, uO
thoughtful man supposed that he was En-
peror in permanence. 1t Is unnecessary
to inquire whether he was ruined by the Prus-
sian war; he himself probably resorted to that
war in desperate effort to escape the catas-
trOphe. His whole political system was false.
and, under the most favorable circumstances,
could not have lasted much longer And
now we are told, on doubtful authority,
that his boy has attempted to 60 to France,
to appear suddenly at Boulogne, as his father
did, and SO to achieve the throne. The story
states that he actually reached Dover with
this purpose, and was brought back to his
mother by faithful adherent. False as it
probably is, the tale reads like veritable bit
of Bonaparte history. 1t has the old theatre
cal flavor with which the world has been but
too well acquainted for more than seventy
years.
The French people, exquisitely sensible to
ridiculc, should by this time have acquired a
little political stability. A nation which within
a century has tried every form of govern
ment ever devised by the ingenuity of man
democracy, lrepublicanism, monarchy absolute
and monarchy limited-not to say anything
of several considerable experiences of anarchy
Ought surely to feel little indignant at being
regarded with distrust which of late years

most brilliant victories have brought her only

acquisitions have been permanent. Should

at the shopkeeping spirit of modern Paris,
but the only real regret should be that
it is not accompanied by somewhat
more vigorous assertion of the right OF tho
peaceable classes to be preserved from the
mad ambition and ruinous appetites OF milf
tary adventurers. For clearly shopkeeping is
the best business which France can engage in
for several generations to come as war-making
is clearly the worst. The very idea OF the
young Napoleon at BOulOgne raising the stand
ard of the Empire carries disaster with 1t.
We believe that the country has really at
heart preference for republican forms OF
government. After almost every CONFUSION 1t
has fallen back upon these. All that French
republicanism needs is chance to acquire
permanence and consistency; and but for the
disadvantage of geographical position, these
would at last be unquestionably attained. All
the political wisdom Of Europe for many cen
turtles has taken the superiority of Monarchy
over Republicanism for granted. We In
America who know them to DO such, can
afford to smile at such fallacies. Through
what commissions and miseries, through what
slaughters and sorrows, through what failures
and successes, the Old World will reach
similar conviction, and SO abide by 1T, We do
not know; but we are sure that, as Heaven
is lust, it will be reached at last.

More troubles are reported from the Texas
border. In fact the disorders complained of
are chronic. and each new story is but a Tepe
ttiOn of the former one. Sifted down, the
last grief amounts to this: The Mexicans are
running Off the Texan cattle, and an American
was lately fred on from the Mexican side of
the RiO Grande. That cattle should be stolen
by Mexicans argues an unsettled condi-
ton of affairs on the border which will
surprise nobody. That complaint should
be made of solitary shot from the
other side of the line must excite the amuse-
ment Of those who know how promptly the
sharp crack of the rife responds to any little
unpleasantness in that region of country. 1t
is undoubtedly true that there is great deal
of stealing and miscellaneous wickedness on
the Mexican border. 1t is also true that many
of the complaints from that region are exag-
gerated.

Our London correspondent, in his letter
published on the third page this morning,
shows how well Earl Russell has earned his
reputation as political meddler and muddler.
1t is difficult to conceive of any good purpose
to be served by the demonstration in regard
to the prospects Of peace, which seems to have
startled as much as it astonished people on
the Continent of Europe. Here in America
we might almost say that we are beyond being
either startled or astonshed at anything that
Earl Russell may do.

Bayard Taylor has been again to the Pyra-
mids. His crisp, clear letter on our third page
re-tells the old, old story as none other can
tell it. Our famous traveller finds that more
people are at Gizeh than IN the former days.
1t is easier and cheaper travelling thither than
in 1854. But those to whom sight OF the
Sphinx and the Pyramids is yet dream I'M

modern civilization, are like the sca-wced

No RUZ/1PD FOR LOGAN.

The debate in the Senate on the 18th
and 14th inst, preliminary to the passage OF
the Finance bill, was not less extraordinary
than the bill itself. Messrs. Logan, Morton,
and Wright professed some new ideas on the
currency which deserve to be recorded. 10
ordinary intelligence it would seem that is
suing two dollars of paper money and retiring
only one must result in imitation. But Mr..
Logan proved to the satisfaction OF the ma
iority of the Senate that it was contraction,
or the next thing to it. Every National bank,
argued Mr. Logan, will have at least as much
money lodged with it by depositors az it has
circulation. But every National bank must
keen. on an average, q reserve in greenbacks
canal to twenty per cent of its deposits. AS
tLe deposits exceed the circulation, call it
twenty-five per cent. The account will then
stand as follows:

At the last days session of the Social Science
meeting the papers presented were of the
class regarded as most appropriately the work
of the Association. The registration of vital
statistics will be recognized as subject
upon which Drs. Elisha Harris and Stephen
Smith have the knowledge of experts.
Pauperism in New-York presents questions
requiring much patient research, but will re-
ward thorough investigation. Its causes and
its cure would by themselves fill volumes, and
the report of the committee upon this subject
could, of course, only indicate its
broader outlines. Dr. Gallaudet, noted for
his skill in the care of deaf mutes, related
his experience in their instruction, and Prof.
White discussed the relation of the Govern
ment to advanced education. Altogether this
years meeting of the Social Science AssOcla-
ton fully equals those of previous years in
the Importance Of the topics considered and
the ability with which they were discussed.
The most that the obsequiOus partisans of
the Administration can say against the reso-
luton of the Ways and Means Committee to
censure Secretary Richardson and his subor-
dinates, Banfield and Sawyer, is that, if they
deserve this censure, they deserve impeach-
ment. We see nothing in this statement to
provoke any opposition. Officers who are
either grossly ignorant, or criminally cog
INFANT, of the legal robbery going
on under their noses, deserve to
be put out, no matter whether con-
victed of incompetence or Of dishonesty. For
the rest the excuse that it is impossible to
get any competent man to take the position
e @ Al. . linz,
The time was when this was recognized as
the highest and most important Office in the
gift of the Government. If it has been de-
graded it is the President who has degraded
it. IL it cannot be reputaby filled, it is the
President who keeps it from being
filed. No man fit for it can with any
self-respect accept the place under the present
most difficult circumstances, save with a
degree of power which the President has not
been accustomed to accord " any OF the
