control compelled them TO vacate the
Offices which they had held.
Mr.. DEIANo in recapitulating the i'm
portant service which he has rendered the
country, takes occasion to refer TO the fact
that for four years and eight months he
has had supervision of the Land Office, the
business of which involves the adjudlcn-
ton and settlement OF legal questions
growing out Of railroad grants, and Mcxi-
can and Spanish grants in Califor-
mia and New Mexico; likewise those
that arose under our homestead and pre-
emption systems II was hardly needful
for the retiring Secretary to refer to these
matters, for his connection with them is
in no danger Of being forgotten by the
thousands of enterprsing Western pioneers
whom he has driven, or attempted to
drive, from their homes in order to seques-
trate their property for the benefit Of rich
corporations and Rings. Some of his
rulings in regard 10 Mexican aud mining
claims are likewise calculated to render
his memory enduring If not fragrant, In
the Pacific States: indeed, there Is little
danger that either DELANO or his son john
will ever fade from the recollection of the
present generution OF CalifOrniaus
II was equally n work OF supercrogation
for Mr. DrLANo to call attention TO
the fact that the rotten Indian Bureau has
been under his supervision. The devel-

The Bonnnartist Council.

The telegraph has Informed us Of the re-
suit of the Bonapartist council held AT
Arenenberg, the private chateau Of the
Empress EUGESIE, situated on the shores
of the Lake OF Constance, in Switzerland.
The object of the council, as officially de-
clared by the Bonapartist leaders, was to
determine the future policy of the party.
In reality, however its main purpose was
finally to settle the difference which has
been for n considerable time past existing
between the Empress and NJ. RouHER.
The widow OF NAPOLEON III. was never
much liked In France. Her foreign origin.
her haughtiness, her closeness in money
matters, and her strong ultramoutane
tendencies were equally distastcful 10 the
French people. Since the death of the
Emperor she has rendered herself still less
popular. Her constant meddling with the
political affairs Of the party and her evil
dent willingness 10 sacrifice the interests OF
her son to the petty intrigues and jealous
les OF her Chiselhurst cdnldriUd, had
brought her into discredit even among the
Imperialists Themselves. NJ. RoUHER, rs II
member of the Council OF the Regency,
frequently had the most violent scenes
with her and had lately declared his in
tention 10 give up the business altogether
should she continue, In her capacity rs
Regent, to interfere with the management
OF the party. The Prince Imperial being
now youth OF nineteen and hav ing COM
pleted his studies, the time was considered
favorable for the abolition OF the original
arrangement made by the deceased En-
peror.
The decision arrived nj by the council
is that the Prince Imperial shall UNDER
take in person the exclusive direction Of
the imperialist policy the Empress abdi-
eating the right conferred upon her by
NAPOLEON III. II has also been settled
that the young Prince shall be guided
wholly by NJ. RoUHER. The Coustitu ton
Of lS52 has been selected by the council as
basis of operations, should the party
ever succeed in restoring the Empire, and
a persistent demand for Il plebiscite in the
Assembly at Versailles is to be the strategy
OF the party.
There can be little doubt that such n
change IN the inner management OF I'M
| periallst affairs may considerably improve
the slender chances OF a new Bonupartist
success. NJ. RoUHERis one OF the clevcrcst
statesmen of France, and most certainly
the strongest party leader. But it is just ms
certain too, that should lie prove able to
raise the young Prince TO the throne,
| France will have once moro to submit to Il
most despotic system, for NJ. RoUHER is
the great champion of Napoleonic bsolut-
| ism.

GOOd.by, DelanO.

Mr.. COLUMBUS DELANo has at last an
nounced his immediate retirement from
the Interior Department, and the Presi-
dent has accepted his resignation, TO take
effect on the first of October. This will he
in time TO relieve the Republican party
from so much dead weight in the ap-
preaching Ohio election. DELANo is pretty
wen known, and appreciated, in his own
state, and his retention In Office AZ mem'
ben Of the Cabinet has been urgently de-
precated not only by The Sun, but lso by
the most influential men of his party.
The resignation OF Mr. DELA ~ has been
the occasion of a touching correspondence
between the retiring Secretary anG tresi-

ability and strict integrity of the former
Perhaps the Secretary is the most enthusi-

Modern MarS.

The great powers Of Europe are not like
ly to be brought into collision over the
Herzegovinian question.
The world has seen five flrst-clnss wars
during the past twenty years the Crimean
war OF 1s5i-G, between Great Britain,
France, Sardinia, and Turkey on the one
side, and Russia on the other; the Franco
Austrian war Of 1859; the American civil
war of lS6l-5; the Prusso- Austrian war Of
1866 and the Franeo-German war OF 1870.
Positive or decisive results were brought
about by each and all of these wars The
Crimean war checked the military power
OF Russia for the time being, and thwarted
the designs Of the Gar NICHOLAS in Tur-
key. The Franco-AustIian war dismem-
bered the ancient Austrian monarchy, and
lstsd the foundations OF the present king
dom Of italy. The American civil war de
stroyed negro slavery, and brought al lut
important constitutional changes. The
Pruss.S-Austrlan war expelled Austria
from the leadership of the German Con-
federation, and enlarged the boundaries
Of new Germany in the direction OF DEN
mark. The Franco-GermGn war destroyed
the French Imperial Government, gavo
Germany two OF the finest provinces of
France, and placed Germany at the head
of the military powers OF the continent.

or the other OF the parties engaged In
them.
The defeated parties, both in the greater
and lesser wars, have always after the mo-
ment of prostration threatened that they
would ere long rise and regain by arms
that which they had lost. But yet the
main results of all the wars here emu
meratcd remain unchanged to the present
time. Russia has never attempted to re-
sumo the attitude she held at the outbreak
of the Crimean war Austrla has never
sought 10 reconquer the Italian provinces
she lost through the French triumph of
1859. The American slaveholders have
never dreamed Of rejistabllshing the svs-
ten of slavery which was abolished by
LINCOLN. Austria has 10 thought of seek
ing TO replace herself at the head of the
German Confederation, or OF returning to
her political absoutism. Some French
men may still talk Of avenging their last
humiliation and recovering their lost
provinces; but there is 10 prospect of
their undertaking the job.
II thus appears that the great wars Of
modern times are apt to he conclusive Of
the questions for which they were fought.
This is so far comforting to those OF us
who do not desire TO ace n state OF per-
petual warfare among mankind.

A remarkable instance of deathbed re-
pentance has just occurred in Butler county,
Ky. man who was very ~, confident that his
last hour fast approaching, sent for a mag

during the war he and MITCHELL had robbed a
man named DAVENPORT in Warren county, and
that In the division OF the spells MITCHELL had
taken more than his share. In revenge, the self
confessed murderer watched his victim for ten
years with the purpose OF killing him, and at
last, when a favorable opportunity presented
itself, he shot him through the heart. NrrcH-
ELL when shot was standing on a barge, and his
body fell into the river. II was never found,
and though suspicious Of foul play were enter
tanned. there was no proof even OF his death.

his conscience by confession, Immediately be-
gan to get better, and now promises TO regain
