Bonapartism in France.

The dismissal OF Admiral DE LA RON
CIfRE-LE-NoURY from the command of the
Mediterranean squadron is in every way n
judcious net on the part Of Marshal MAC
MAHoN; but the cause of this dismissal in
dicates that far from being crushed in
France, Bonapartism is slowly gaining
ground. This agrees with private in
formation which we have lately re-
ceived from London, the great Bonapart-
list centre.
The facts Of Admiral DE la RoNCIERE-
LE-NoURY's episode are not complicated.
The Bonapartists held u banquet ut Evreux
on Sunday last; and the Admiral, not
being able TO leave his post in the Mediter-
ranean TO attend wrote n letter TO the
committee, which was made public by
being read mt the table. In this letter he
repudiated the acts and doctrines of the
revolution OF the:ith of September, and
declared that he was anxiously expecting
the day when France would be in posi-
ton to choose her form of government
for herself, and to take once again her
place in the European hierarchy which is
denied to her by her present political con-
dition.
II IN hliulTHl IN utIlNe cOUlnlNOu OF n
fleet makes u declaration of this sort. IL is
evident that he must be sure that the ma
jority of the men under him hold the same
views. Aud this point becomes ill the
more important when we remember that
the majority of the generals holding the
so-callcd grdndS commandments, or chief
command of the great districts in France,
are BOnapartists. Indeed II would be
very bold to assert that even MAGMA
HON himself is not one. His wife, Mt all
events, is among the stanchest support
ers of the Empire, rs has been proved by
the heightened conspiracies carried on un-
der her auspices and those of Madame
CANRoBERT and the Duchess of HAMILTON
ut Brussels in 1870 aud 1871.
The last Chiselhurst rumors are that had
il not been for the indiscreet meddling of
the ex-Empress aud the constantly grow
ing dislike for her on the part of those
who come in contact with her, the Prince
Imperial would have been called to the
throne of France ut a much earlier date
than anybody can expect ut present. A
marriage with n Russian princess has also
been spoken of ~ one of the means of re-
storing the Empire. Aud here again the
ex-Emprcss seems 10 be the main impede
ment, objecting rs she does TO the alliance
on the ground OF religious differences.

During our first pastorate AT New Brigh-

The Democratic state Convention.

The Democratic state Convention meets
at Syracuse next week IL ought to adopt
the most outspoken resolutions in support
Of Gov. TILDENs efforts 10 expose the
canal robbers, and place in nomination
for those Offices whose incumbents will
occupy seats at the Canal Board men who
will aid him in Wrestling from the plumber
ers their ll-gotten gains.
We have heard that there is a disposition
in certain quarters to put in nomination a
ticket composed OF small, weak. inferior
men. THIS policy should be resisted and
defeated. The Republicans have given us
nch ticket, and this ought to suffice for
one campaign. To try another such would
tarni-h the prestige of the Democratic
party of New York, and Gov. TILDEN
should do ms utmost to prevent it, OF
course. according TO all the precedents, he
will not feel mt liberty to visit Syracuse
during the sittings of the Conv ention but
he will hardly be excused for not sending
some one there who is authorized to eX-
press his desire for the nomination of
eminent. experienced, well-known states
