breach between them and the Legitimists.
Then again it was reported that an amicable
arrangement had been effected between the
factions Of the Imperialsts, and that the OPP
poncnts Of Mr.. Rouhcr had accepted his leader
ship. On the heels of this mysterious an
nouncemcnt come the tdings that Baron lIauss-
mann, IN obedience to the Instructions OF the
Prince Imperial, has consented to become a
candidate for the Chamber Of Deputies IN
opposition to Prince Napoleon. Our readers
will turn with relief from thcse contradictory
and unsatisfactory outgiyings OF the cable To
the attractive letters of our Paris correspond
ent. The letter which we published yesterday
analysed the strange apathy Of the Conserva-
tive masses and described the education and
political training Of a young fr'nchman oi
high rank. This study of national character
explained, what is very difficult for Americans to
understand, why is it that the Conservatives are
so qmck to resort 20 childish violence and the
supremacy of brute force. The Same CORES
pondent presents in our columns to-day still
more striking view of the political crisis.
(Which side has the money!" This question
enters into French as well rs American poll
ties, and is answered in this letter. Our read
ers may be surprised to learn that outside OF
the Rothschds the overwhelming money force
il on the side of the Republic rather than the
Monarchica aud lmpcrialist factions, and that
the Bonapartiats are the poorest Of the Con-
servativcs The gossip about NJ. de Rothscnld
is an instructive commentary upon the latest
rumors from Corsica. When the banker
heard of the candidature of Baron llaussmann,
he threatened 10 20 20 NJ de Fourtou and tell him
that he would not contribute n farthing to the
Conservative treasury. What will he say now,
when the Prince Imperial marshals his poti-
cal host and assigns Baron Haussmann to a
place of honor2
But the Republicans have something besides
ducats They have cool heads on their shoul-
ders. They arc well organized and splendidly
commanded They present united front 20
an allied camp which is rent asundcr with
jealousy and fcuds. They have demonstrated
that the Marshal Presidents panic terror over
the tendencies Of the Left was childish, and
that the Due dc Broglic's accusations were
libellous. Under Gambctta's leadership they
are the open foes Of anarchy and the genuine !
friends Of social and moral order.

sary to make it known that the lawfully ex-

New-York tribune., 1877-08-09

Democratic convention il was entirely proper
that a Democratic Senator should glorify the
Democratic party. 1t would be unreasonable,
perhaps. TO expect any thing else But after
all. Mr.. Lamar is too much man OF the
world and has had too much experience
and too large familiarity with political
affairs, to be talking TO any assembly
of intelligent men about the Democratic
party of this country, as everybody knows
it, having "principles that are I'M
"perishable," and that constitute the
Essential elements of every FREQ govern
"ment" Mr.. Lamar has heretofore shown
qualities that set him above the average
politician. He is one of the few prominent men
in his party to whom the people concede the
name and rank of statesman. The lareeness
of his views and the cathOlicity of his opinions
have been generally recognized. But we take
leave to say that this sort OF thing Is
not craftsmanship or good sense. No one
knows better than Senator Lamar that
there is no such sham anywhere in ex-
istence as the Democratic party; no such
mockery as its professions of principles and
no such cause and source of mischief to the
States and the people of the South. IL has
been from the beginning of what we may call
the latest, and let us hope the last period OF
It's history-to Wit, that in which it has con-
spicuously linked itself to the fortunes of the
South-a promoter of evil and breeder of dis
aster Except as fault-fnders and obstruction
lists, the Democratic party Of to-day have no
record and no principles. For twenty years at
least they have done nothing but stand IN the
way of all progress. The talk about imper-
shabIe principles is the worst sort of rubbish,
and Mr. Lamar descends TO the level of the
demagogue when he INDUCES in it.
It is really painful to see such man, from
whom we had reason to hope for better things,
contributing TO the continuance of this fatal
fetichism. Democracy Is nowhere now any
thing but another name for the greed Of Office.
The party cohcres by that and that only. lis
record is anything but honorable or glorious
and its character as illustrated whenever and
wherever it has had the opportunity of power
is thoroughly and irretrieyably bad. Tie
sooner Mr.. Lamar and other Southern leaders
drop all this ridiculous rhetoric OF che stump
about The Great Democratic Party the
better il viii be for the South and the whole
country. The people of this country know
that party too well. Ii has done nothing but
conspire against peace and good order for at
least quarter Of a century. The greatest
favor that can be shown II is not to undertake
to gorify its record, but to forget that 1t has

We referred last week to the contrast pre-
sented by The heroes OF Napoeon'S celebrated
prophecy, who are the conspicuous figures on
the European stage during this dramatic year &.
If the Co>sack, with his picturesque costume
and quiycrug lance, is the first 10 catch the eye,
the French Republican commands attention
from the dignity and self-posseSson of his
bearing. Each is iighfing ms own battle in his
own way. While one aims TO strike terror into
the hearts of his foes, the other strives to pro-
mote peace and moderation among his
countrymcn. If you scratch the Russian
you wi! lind the Tartar" was one of
the scntentious asidcs of the Exile
of st. Helena The Cossacks heart may be
fired with a generous impulse to rescue the
Christian subjects of the Porte, but the last of
conquest is an instinct of his race. The Cri-
mean war had its origin in the desecration of
the holy places, but the religious question had
passed out of mind long before SiliStria was
invested or ScvastOpol bombarded. The re
hgious enthusiasm with which the followers Of
the Car entered upon the present war is al
ready growing cool. The Russian soldier has
learned the rudiments OF the science of war,
and marches and fights with more pre-
clsion than of old, but the spirit of the Tartar
is unchanged. He IS still mtlamed with a
burning desire to weak vengeance upon
his ancient enemy, to enlarge his colossal en-
piro and to fill Europe with the dread of his
name The disciples Of Gambetta have q
purer motive, noblCr ambition. They are
demonstrating that if you scratch French
Republican to-day, YOU viii not find the mad
man of 1913 or the Communist Of 1871.
They have been irritated worried, ridicuied
and dehed, but they have not betrayed their
cause by yielding 10 passion and resorting TO
violence and revolt They have overcome
their worst enemy--themselves. The patriot
ism Of the leaders and the sclf-control of the
rank and file have made one thing plain (;
France is ripe for self ef-g0ycmment.
The Republican rather than the Cossack ought
to command the sympathy of Americans. Let
Va turn our eyes from the shifting battle-scenes
in Bulgaria to the impressive spectacle which
Republican France presents. The rum0rs which
the cable has brought to our ears during the
past fortnight have been extremely ambiguous.

SENAIOR LANARS MLSTAKE.

The speech of Senator Lamar in the Missis-
sippi Democratic Convention last week was in
many respects admirable. 1t was sensible,
patriotic and timely. In congratulating the
citizens of the South upon the new career OF
freedom, progress and prosperity upon which
they are entering, he gave frank and full edit
to the President for the part lie has taken in
bringing about the new condition. Thou
sands upon thousands of honest and patri-
otic Republicans, he said, care ready 70 make
d" the people Of the South sharers in the bene-
"fts and blessings the greatness and glory
"of the Republic and at the head Of these
stands the present President of the United
"Statosn His praise Of the President Tor his
patriotism and political intrepidity was gen
erous and unstinted. But lie took occasion to
add that while his course merited the approba-
tion and support of Southern men, this
aprroval could be bestowed by Democrats Of
" the South standing solidly upon platform of
"Democrauc principles, and without breaking
their alliance with that great National party
(which has so long stood with unshaken con-
"stancy and fidelity for the rights OF the South

Blanton Duncan tells the President that the
labor movement is going to disturb the poll
tics of the West this Fall. If the movement
consists only Of the blatant BlantOn himself
and the men in buckram whom he profeSses
20 command in Louisville, there will be no Oc-
casion for he old party managers to worry
about it.
In the recent great battle at Pleyna 10000
Russians were hurled against defences held 10y
10000 Turks, and met with serious defeat.
The immense army of 10000 men, supported
Inv $4,000 Roumanians at NikOpOlis, which
the Russians have now concentrated promises
them a greater measure of success in the com
ing conflict at the same battle-ground.
President BOisrOnd Canal, who attained power
in Hayti through revolution, is experiencing
the ficklcness Of popular favor in that turbu-
lent country. As the uprising against him Is
connected with hostility to foreign influence,
there is occasion for vigilance on the part of
our fleet in the West Indies The attempt 70
burn Port-au-Prnce shows that the conspira-
tors are disposed 10 resort to desperate meas
ures.
Heavy losses TO merchants who have invested
largely in sugar, seem inevitable, as the stock
of that article now held in this city is said to
be the largest ever accumulated here An ac-
count of the speculation which has led TO this
unfortunate result is given in our local columns
One of the most prominent reasons for u de-
cline in the price Of sugar is that people are
generally practising economy in the use Of con
fectionery, sweetmeats, and other similar luxu-
ries.
.-of1..r a vQ Qf ~ of q yr,ln-
nations for his inexcusable neglect to stop the
operations Of insolvent savings banks before
their funds were frittercd away. As TO the pre-
tence that he was not informed concerning their
condition that has been largely set aside by the
evidence but in any event it was the business
of the Department to be well informed. Tho
excuse which now seems most available for
Mr.. Ellis is that he INDUCED in vain hopes that
the banks would be able 10 recuperate.
Tn p,acing William II. Smith at the head Of
the British Admiralty, Lord Beaconsfeld has
shown more regard for business capacity than
for parliamentary service. Although Mr. Smith
has been IN public life since 1865, when ne
had the temerity 10 oppose John Stuart Mil
as a candidate in Westminster, ne is better
known as the head of firm which sells news
papers and DOCKS at Ihe railway slatoHs
throughout Great Britain. In reforming the
British Navy he will have ample scope for his
executive ability.
II is not probable that any member Of the
Obio Repubbcan Convention ever read the Ger
man work OF Herr Suess, Professor Of Geology
at the University of Vienna, on The Future
"of Gold" but the facts and inferences present
ed by that book, az outlined in another col
umn, come in very apropOs to reinforce the
bi-metallic resolution of that body. The Pro-
fessor thinks that the supply Of gold will soon

Our bank-note companies claim that they
can do the work of preparing United States
and National banknotes and the revenue
stamps better, cheaper and more safely than
the Government Bureau at Washington. 1t Is
certainly true that by dividing between differ
ent concerns the work on each note, where
there are iwo or three printings, much greater
safety in counting and issuing is secured. In
excellence of work there is probably little DIFF
ference between that of the Government Bu-
roau and the private concerns, though possibly
the latter have some advantages. The question
of comparative cheapness alone remains, and
il will be an unusual instance If 1t cannot he
shown that in this as in most other cases the
Government loses money when it attempts
