important thing. It Is this latter which the Eng
lish in the plenltude of their sympathy with
princely and royal woes, forget Possibly they
forget also that this young Bonaparte was fight
ing In a quarrel not his own-in spirit OF ad-
venture better suited to Middle Age notions than
to ours. | must add that there is strong feeling
that the poor fellow might have been saved had ms
escort stood by him. AT the first Zulu yolley they
mounted and fed; never stopping to sec whether
the Prince up not. His horse was frlght-
ened by the bullets as horses generally are, and
FESTIVE. He tore away riderless. The Prince ran
on foot little way but soon overtaken and
killed. There were assegai wounds on his body
but no bullet had touched him. 1t is a pitiable
business, surely
1t is too soon to say whether the collapse Of I'm
periasm in France will prove complete or partial,
but it is certain that the Princes death has dealt
heavy blow at the fortunes of that schemIng and
selfish clique to whom his name flag. They
will hold together as long as they can. They may
rally around Pince Victor, the son Of that Prince
Jerome Napoleon who is more hated by Bonapart-
lists than by anybody else-to whom the
Chlselhurst Prince left his pretensions by
will; an act, probably, of no validity. More
probably they will fail to unite, and the
band will dsperse to seek each his fortunes
as best he may. What seems still more certain is
that their support in the country-such support as
they still had-will rapidly fall away from them.
Fewer and fewer BOnapartists will be returned to
tho hambers. Prince Jerome himself had given
in his adhesion 70 the Repubc-as Philippe Egalite
in his time and perhaps with similar views, had
done. So, with qualifications. had Baron Hauss-
mann. in one way or another the process OF disin-
tegration VIII go on. And England will presently
put her damp pocket handkerchefs away and console
herself with the reflection that her real Interests
were in no manner bound up with those of Prince
whose only hope Of Empire lay in provoking civil
war among her customers. England, like the rest
of the world has every TO desire that France
may be peaceful and prosperous under the Govern
ment Of which this departed Napoleon was the
deadly and dangerous foe. G. VS..

A TALK WITH SENATOR ROLLINS.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN BACKED UP BY THEIR
COYsTTUESTs-GRANT STILL AHEAD-BLAINE,
SHERMAN, CONKLING AND wAsnBURNE.
Senator Rollins, OF New-Hampshre, is veteran
Republican and sagacious far sighted politician,
and is particularly strong in matters relating to
party organization and policy. He does not talk
very freely to newspaper men on topics which he is
most competent to discuss in way that would be
interesting, knowing that IL is always better for Il
public man to say too little in type than too much,
but he docs say some things worth repeating IN
print. An old acquaintance met him at the Astor
House yesterday, and after some talk ON the Demo-
cratic blunders and backdowns in Congress, asked
him what he thought of the position of the Re
publican party.
81 think the party Is united and enthusiastic
said the Senator, and is going to win the Presiden
tal fight next year. One noteworthy sign of the
compactness of our party is the fact that all the
letters received by the Republicans in Congress
back us up in the position we have taken. No one
saws we have gone 100 far or that VIC have taken
wrong ground On the contrary, all the letters
urge us to stand firm was talking of this TO the
President the other day, and found bis experience
was the same as that OF the Senators aud Reprosen-
tatiyes Instead Of pulling MS back with doubts or
objections. the people are pushing forward. 1t
seems as though we could not be too stalwart for
them in defending the position we have taken"
Senator Rollins was asked his views as to the
Republican nomination for President Ia $780, He
said " stand now just where | did when my con-
gtituents elected me a delegate to the last nomi-
mating convention. i AIN for the best man, who
ever he may seem TO be when the time comes for
making the choice"
