From details which we published in Mon
days HERALD it appears that species often
anism has made its appearance in France. A
society has just been unearthed which had for
its object the dethronement OF the Emperor and
the re-establishment OF the republic. Placards
and other documents have been discovered
and the conspirators brought to trial. It is
curious to find that in those documents promi-
nence is given to the defects and failures of the
Emperor's policy which the NEW YORK HERALD
has been pointing out for the last eighteen
months. The Mexican Jiasco, the snubbing ad-
ministered by Bismarck, the inconsistency as
well as injustice now practised towards Italy,
the lie which he is giving on all hands to his
pertheory in regard to the rights of nationali-
ties-all this is enlarged upon, much to the an
noyance of the once wise and invincible oracle
OF the Tuileres.


1t will not surprise US to learn that this little
conspiracy has been crushed out, and its aders
and abettors so put out Of the way as to be
harmless for the future. The crushing out of
this conspiracy, however, will not convince US
that there are not elements Of real danger





not without good reason, trembling for the
safety OF his dynasty as be never has trem5led
before. France is submissive but by no means
satisfied. The loss of prestige is too notorious
not to wound the national pride. The empire
and the Emperor were tolerated 50 long
as success and glory could be iden-
tilted with both. France, however,
from being an object Of envy has degeneratod
into an object Of ridicule. Her name and her
influence, once associated with the hopes Of
liberalism, arc now PROSTATE in the mire Of a
debasing tyranny. The degradation is felt
felt with pain and indignation. The position
of the Emperor is made all the more disagree.
able by the events which are taking place
without and beyond France. Turkey, which
is weak, asks her help; but Russia, which Is
powerful, openly insults her. Nothing can
save France from internal troubles but war
with a foreign Power. Napoleon knows this,
and begins openly to acknowledge 1t. The
Italian business Is too inconsistent and unjust
to be popular with the French people or to
justify war; The Italian difficulty, II Is
reasonable to presume, will, therefore, soon bo
settled, and real cause Of war manufactured
out Of the German or Eastern question. The
hurrying forward of the Army bill is proof Of
some such determination on the part Of the
Emperor. When this bill shall have passed
into law France will not have occasion to
wait long to experience the miseries Of the
worst days Of the First Empire. The conscrip-
tions that preceded the Russian campaign and
the disasters Of Waterloo France has not yet
forgotten and will not soon forget.

power in their own interest They will not be
saddled with the savage radical organ that is
played out nor with the milder pipe of Weed,
Seward, Raymond and company. So, to get
rid of both, they put their three or four mil
lions in another journal, as nucleus Of politi-
cal power. AS a journal the thing may fail by
and by and seem to lose money but what will
they care, since, in the meantime, they will
have secured their purpose, perhaps, in the
political arenaf They will take care If they
may that the result shall be worth the money.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-The following Is more
explicit statement of the recent decision Of the
supreme court of this State. The question raised
in the lower court the right of the elector to
sit in the convention for the remodeling of the
State Constitution, because he declined to take
the "test oath" as prescribed by the Legislature.
The decision of the higher court was in substance
that the Legislature had no constitutional right to
impose any such obligation upon an elector, be-
cause, If there was any guilt incurred by giving
aid to the rebellion, the overt acts committed
before the statute was passed, and the law of the
Legislature was therefore in this case an eJ post
fdctO law, and created new crime, which is con-
trary to the spirit and letter of the Federal Con-
st,utoD, and that the statute In question violates
the Constitution of the State of New York.

was made by Professor VIM. B. Rogers, of Boston.
Among other matters, he pointed out the dele
terious influences upon health arising from the use
of iron stoves, especially when brought TO red
heat. He spoke Of the relations existing between
the employed and employer, subject which
should be approached and handled in the purest
spirit of humanity. true partnership should
exist between labor and capital. each considerate
of the others welfare and true interests. he
briefly touched upon the subject of free trade, ad.
yocatng il as conducive of the nations highest
good, and styled it the grand humanitarian prin-
ciple which should knit and bind together che
tribes and nations of the earth. He liked free
dealing IN everything in thought as well as dry
goods or cotton. Professor Rogers spoke, IN
Conclusion, of the defects in our common school
system. He thought there was too strong tend

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD


Your articles in regard to Chase are read with deep
interest by all classes OF men. There is no use to
talk about policy Of government long as 1t is un-
certain what kind Of government we are to have.
The Presidential contest will decide whether we are
to have constitutional government or not. II we
are to have military government all our specula-
tions on the subject or policy OF government amount
to nothing. Let us first establish constitutional gov
eminent and then talk about Its policy. The great
object In the Presidential election Is to establish con-
stitutional government over military government.
This object can be accomplished with Chase while 1t
must be regarded doubtful with any other candidate.

for two days. On the trial it has been
proved that the President "issued an order
for the remoxal of Stanton-not that he had
removed him, or had not the right to remove
him or issue the order; the attempt has been
made to prove that the President cOnspired
with soldiers to oppose the laws, and this has
resulted in clearly proving that he did not so
conspire. Instead of showing anything to
Justify the removal, or even censure of the
President, the trial has shown that the Ex-
ecutive acted with vastly more circumspection
than he had been given credit for, and that
in his instructions to General Thomas be
cautioned him against the exhibition of haste
or use of force. 1t is more than likely that
before this reaches the eye of the reader the
result of the trial will be known, but whatev-
er may be the verdict of "packed jury" it
is quite certain that the trial has greatly

INDIAN WAR CLAIMS. i Hon. Alvan
Flanders has written circular letter in which
be details the various efforts he has made to
have the Indian war claims due citizens of
this Territory adjusted. All efforts thus
far have proved Intellectual, and as a last re-
sort Mr.. Flanders has taken the initiatory
steps in Congress to have an act passed au>
thorizing the prompt payment of the claims.
In the event of refusal on the part of Con-
gress to authorize and direct the payment of
the several claims due to the people of Wash
ington Territory, incidental to aud growing
out of Indian hostilities in said Territory in
1856 and 1856, as the claims now stand, he
will make an earnest effort to obtain the con-
sent and authorization from Congress of the
appointment Of a Special Commission, whose
duty it shall be to proceed to the Territory,
and investigate, audit and report upon all
claims due and remaining unpaid, on account
of said war; and upon making their report
to Congress their awards shall be binding
upon the Government, and payment to be
made in accordance Herewith at the earliest
practicable period thereafter. He is of the
opinion that this plan, provided Congress can
be induced to favor its adoption, will result
favorably to the parties in interest Such a
course would lead to a more speedy and equi'
table liquidation of these claims which are
so justly due to the citizens of Oregon and
Washington, and from whom payment has
so long been grievously withheld by the
general government, and would thereby pre-.
vent vexatious procrastinalion and a saving

How often do we find parents weeping
over the dissolute habits of a beloved son,
and wondering how their child could ever
have lallen into such evil habits Yet, if
they go back and examine their actions and
conduct in the presence of and toward that
son, too many parent will ind, with bit
ter ageny, that be himself has furnished a
ruinous example to his own child Has he
not himself, from time to time, at the in
yitatiou of friend or on some convivial
occasion, been induced to take his social
glass? Has he not lent the aid of his name
and character to enable that tavern-keeper
to procure license to sell liquor? Has he
not offered. wines, or other liquors, to his
guests, at his own house, on the occasion Of
some social entertainment or New Year 5
day anniversary Has he not withheld his
name and influence from the great temper
ance reformation, and by thus standing
aloof been in fact opposing this benign
clement Of regeneration to drunken humanl-
ty? IF so, he may be assured that he has
furnished a terrible example to lure his own
child on to its destruction. That son viii
not think it wrong to take his social glass
with friend after seeing his father do so:
and that very tavern for which the influence
of that father had procured license, may
become gate of hell'' to his ruined son.
At the social board, in his OWE home, that
mother may pOnr out for her own son his
first glass, and may kindle in his bosom that
terrible passion whose devouring flames will
blast and destroy the happiness Of herself
and son forever. An awful responsibility
does indeed rest upon that parent who,
either by example or otherwise, c0unte-
nances habits in his child which will proba-
bly, end in intemperance


We often, too, hear fathers mourning
over the dissipation of their sons, and
averring that they would be ready to lay
down their lives if it would effect the re
clamation of their children. They no doubt
pray auxiously that their sons may become
members of some Temperance society; and
yet, do they belong to any such society
themselves Have they ever done anything
to advance the interests of the temperance
cause? Have they not rather, by declining
to become connected with such associations,
furnished an example to their own children
and others to decline also? To them, then,
we would say, join FIRST yourselves. Your
names and Influence may not only be the
means of saving your own sons, but may
help to give freedom and happiness to
thousands of others who groan under the
thralldom of intemperance. Do not hope
and expect that others will labor amid

your sons, while you yourselves are vlrtu-
ally opposing their efforts, and lending your
countenance to those who are sneerIng at
