In these days of zeal in France for the pre-
servaton Of the privileges of the church it is
curious to recall the plans of the first Napole-
on. AS set forth in the lately published vol
ume of Lanfrey's history he wished the in
stitution reduced to kind of oriental patri
archaic, in which the pope, regularly sworn
to obey the emperor and receiving salary at
his hands, should utter no word except at his
dictation that ne should become in fact a
grand officer of stale, an ecclesiastical arch
chancellor, holding very much the same rank
and position as Cambaceres. "What a lev
err' he exclaimed at st. Helena, "what a
means of influence over the rest of the world
I should have possessed? I would have
made of the pope an idol; he should have
dwelt near me. Paris would have become
the capital of the Christian world, and l
should have directed the religious as well as
the political world. should have held my
religious as 1 held my legislative sessions. My
ouncls would have been the representative
asemblies of Christendom, and the pores
void have merely presided over their de-
bate-' All the notes, all the letters, and all
the ats of Napoleon during the years
1S09-11 rove. says NJ. IIanfrey, that these
words em.ody his definite convictions on the
| question OF elgious organization.

The New Hampshire Conspiracy.

Emboldened by their success in changing
the political complexion of the State Senate,
the New Hampshire Democrats are evident
ly determined to capture the Assembly. The
plan fixed upon lacks even that color of tech
nical right which the counting of the senate
rial vote possessed; but the progressive De-
mocracy' have got beyond even the pretext
of doing right. When the conspiracy was
first exposed, the Democratic leaders ap
peared little ashamed OF it, though none of
them dared to deny the Intention imputed to
them. But they have grown brave since they
have secured their senators, and no longer
hesitate to avow their purpose to seize the
House and to elect a governor.
The plan is for the clerk of the old House
to leave out names of Republicans and to put
in names of Democrats in calling the roll of
the new House, thus giving Democratic
majority. Until very lately many Republi-
cans have laughed at the rumors of this plan,
not believing that the clerk would lend him
self to so iHiquitous scheme. But recent
events have demonstrated that anything is
possible to New Hampshire Democrat, and
that no considerations of justice or expeden-
cy influence his blind partisanship. The pre-
tense that the clerk has anything to do with
the legality of the elections is preposterous
one, but none too preposterous for belief by
the Democrats of New Hampshire.
The Republicans have been taken by sur
prise. They did not for moment dream
that any political party would be SO reckless
and so lost to all sense of shame as TO under
take, IN New England, to capture state
government by methods of undisguised fraud.
But the Republicans had no right to be sur
prised. The action of their opponents is
characteristic. Whenever the Democratic
party has had an opportunity to gain any
thing by overriding the will of the people it
has not hestated to do so. OF late years
such opportunities have been rare because of
the distrust entertained by the people; and
the Democracy, having no chance to be dishon-
est,h come to have a tolerably fair repata-
tion among those to whom its past history is
little known. But it has not belied its re-
cord. The first opportunity offered to dis
regard law, to achieve success by trickery,
proved too strong temptation to be resisted.
Its appetite for rascaity has been whetted by
enforced abstinence, and it is determined to
gorge itself with fraud.
1t is fortunate for the country that the
Democrats have had an opportunity in New
Hampshire 10 show their real character.
Had they kept the semblance of honesty but
a little longer the people might have been be-
trayed into giving them lease of po wer.
There is faint prospect Of now.

APPROXIMATE formulae for the curvature
of the ocean are-o simple that boys of geo
detic tastes readily >o,nmit them TO memory.
Thus: The dropping away of a water level
from level straight Inc is two thirds ola
foot multiplied by the squan of the distance
in miles. That is, in one lille it drops s
inches; in two miles, 2ft, s in. ii in three
miles, 6ft, &c. The dropping of the water
level from level line of light, is, owing to
the refraction of light, only four sevenths of
a foot, multiplied by the square of the dis
tance in miles. For example, the mountain
1000 feet high may be seen at the distance o
S3 &C miles, by an eye at sea Level.

LATE English papers intimate that Bis
marck offered to Russia an unmolested exten-
sion to the East, but that the great northern
power was jealous of the growing military
strength of Prussia and did not desire to
crush out the only nation which had the VIII
and strength to oppose the new empire. 1t
is said also that Russia is waiting tor better
bargain. As France grows stronger Ger
many will bid higher for the support or the
neutrality of the Gear, and Constantnople
may be the reward. Russia has always had
f,;tb in a waiting race.
