If he cannot do this, will he kindly inform ns why it is that he cannot ? The news from Illinois is significant. Scarcely a twelve month has passed since the "Patrons of Husbandry" organized, and yet we find them already sufficiently powerful to elect a Judge of the Supreme Court of a pow erful State. This looks very much as if the AVest had finally determined to throw off the old party shackles and emancipate themselves from the politician’s yoke. Here in Georgia, too, there is a rambling of the coming thun der, and all who wish to escape the fnry of the storm will do well to get into the fold be fore it is too late. Is it possible for Alderman Boring to sat isfy the people of Atlanta that the lack of water works and sewerage is not detrimental to their health? BON AP ARTISTS FRANCE. Either Marshal MacMahon is in the direct interest of the Bonapartist dynasty, or the Bonapartists have played their cards so well as to now place him in a most embarrassing position. Bnt a few weeks ago the French Assembly enacted a law exiling the Napoleon family from France, Within two weeks after MacMahon's election, we find them again in Paris, althongb the law is unrepealed, and rumor even says that the Empress Eugenie is among the Parisians. To those who have carefully watched the progress of French politics, it is evident that another crisis is not far off. Althongb Mac Mahon has promised to obey the orders of the Assembly, he is likely to find himself forced to violate this promise, or lose the con fidence of the Army. The Empress Eugeni, has always been popular in France, and the bitterest enemy of Louis Napoleon has noth ing to say against the Prince Imperial, while, as is well known, a large majority of the French officers and soldiers are Bonapartists. If, then, M. M. Ronher, Magne and others back np the Empress and Prince Jerome Xa pcleon, they are likely to do something more than prodnee a "sensation," which the pres ence of the Imperial Princes has created in Versailles. By skilUul movements they may rapidly consolidate the Bonapartist sentiment in the Army and give it sneb power as will compel Mac Mahon to resist any efforts of the Assembly to have Eugenie and Prince Napo leon ejected. Such French generals as Marshal Can robert, and Generals Bonrbaki, deFailly, Lad miranlt, and others are very popular with the army, and they are pronounced Imperialists Even Ducrot, de Cissey, and the other leaders after the overthrow of Napoleon, prefer the empire to the monarchy, and all they need is a leader to successfully accomplish another coup d'etat. We wonld not be surprised either to find such veterans as Changarnier ready for the empire. The Prince Imperial s a boy, and a regency will be necessary if he is elevated to the throne. A Conncil of Re gents, including such men as Changarnier, Dae de Broglie, MacMahon, and—start not reader—even Thiers, wonld go far towards re building the old Imperial party. These are necessarily specnlations, but they are founded on the character of French par ties. Of course, the majority in the Assem bly is very likely to kick np a row; bnt the pretext to declare them “ odions and detestable factions," "enemies of order,” and other peculiarly French charges will not be wanting, upon which to base a forcible disso lution and an appeal to the country. With the entire machinery of government in his hands, and backed by the army, it wonld be an easy matter for McMahon to elect a new Assembly pledged to proclaim the restoration of the Empire and to enthrone Napoleon IV. We trust the cable will bring ns this morning the text of Eugenie’s appeal to President Mac Mahon, and give; us farther details of the movements of the Empress Engenie and Prince Napoleon. In short, will Messrs. McDuffie, Morn*, Brotherton, Langston, Goldsmith, Sparks, Beattie, and all the members of the Conncil, tell the men who elected them what they have done, or are doing, towards making Atlanta clean and healthy ? as he was towards Foster, the days of tha murderer of Fisk, Jr., ars numbered, tha highest tribunal of the State having affirmed the verdict of willfnl murder. That Stokes deserves to die a felon's death is unquestion able. When Fisk first made bis acquaintance he was as bankrupt in purse as the Erie prince was in morals. True, ke possessed wealthy relatives, but they had toag rinse grown tired of helping him. Fisk took a liking to him and thenceforward Stokes prospered. Mean time one of Fisk's numerous mistresses was a woman named Josephine Mansfield, the di viorced wife of an actor, for whom he had purchased an elegant mansion on one of the most aristocratic streets of New York. Here she lived snrronnded by all the elegance and Inxnries that the wealth of the railroad mag nate could bestow. As might be supposed, this wretched cour tesan was as false to Fisk as she had been to her hnsband. Stokes bad been taken to her honse by Fisk, and she secretly became his paramour. When the Erie Prince discovered their treachery, he naturally cast them off, and they then began systematically to black mail him. Stokes first wrong from him a large sum of money in payment of an interest in a business which Fisk had given him for nothing. Next he extracted a large sum as damages for having been confined in jail one night. Had the pair been careful, they wonld have possessed very ample means of sapport. The Mansfield, however, was cxtraTag&nt. She had grown accustomed to lac d’or with dinner and silks without limit with ijjsk, and she conld net do without them with Stokes. As for him, the propensityto gamble was "ir repressible.” So Josey drank her fine wines, and displayed her elegant dresses and expen sive jewelry at the theatres, on the drives and in the parks, by the side of virtuous women. The thousands soon melted away, and the twain sat down at their breakfast table to con coct plans as to how more greenbacks conld be squeezed out of Fisk's plethoric pocket- book. Josey betbonght her of some of Fisk’s let ters which were in her possession, and a con spiracy was formed to threaten Fisk with their publication if he did not purchase them. Accordingly, a large pries was placed upon them, and Fisk was politely requested to bay. He had, however, grown tired of paying mon ey to the pair, and he showed fight The publication of the letters was enjoined, and the Grand Jury was invited to investigate the matter and indict both Stokes and his para mour for attempting blackmail. Stokes, apprised of the impending action of the Grand Jury, found himself at bay. Bank rupt in parse, discarded by the yoong wife he had most brutally treated, disowned by the relatives whose affection he had slighted, and condemned by everybody as an ingrate and a roue, he determined to wreak his vengeance on the man throngh whose instrumentality he is likely to be publicly disgraced as a black mailer. Procuring a revolver, he tracked his victim from the Erie Railroad office to the Grand Central Hotel, and there shot him down with the bullet of an assassin. He does not warn Fisk of his purpose; he gives him no opportunity to defend himself. Stokes goes there to commit murder, and he com mits it. It is impossible to see npon what ground Governor Dix can base a pardon, or even a commutation of the sentence. To hang a man who kills another in a sudden outburst of passion, may be an error; bnt with Stokes it was not a sudden outburst in a personal altercation. To hang a man who kills another in the vindication of the honor of his wife, his daughter or his mother, is a crime against society, because the slanderer had attempted to destroy that which no coart of jnstice can ever repair. But in all the list of provoca tions which society declares to be the justifi cations of homicide, there is not one that Stokes can plead. The woman who was the primary cause of the marder, was (and is) a miserable courtesan, who had long ago placed her charms at the disposal of the highest bidder. For this creature he ill-treated and deserted a pure, good woman, and murdered a fellow being. It would be a prostitution of justice to pardon snch a man. That he is an “aristocrat," and that his family are wealthy, should not save him. The higher his social position the more hienons his offense; and, consequently, the more desirous are we to see him punished. greatly excited, and had^oVbo i more than onoe by here compAnio after scene passed befoxetthem, length the lake came in the opposite shore was* t _ tinct, for the sun was" shining ft Inside it were seated a' ladj'and i_. in a tender attitude.

Toward the close of March an elderly gen tleman, a professor at a well known college, visited the octagon, accompanied by a de tective. Scene after acene waa brought into view, until at last a distant part of the park was shown. Walking down a pathway in the centre of the picture was a couple. The el derly gentleman at once recognized the lady as his daughter and the gentleman as the young artigtjvith whom she had eloped two days previously. Early this month Detective Lambert came on here from Ohio in pursuit of a forger and defaulter named McMurray. He received in- formation that he was hiding somewhere in Yorkville or Harlem. The detective on his way thither recognized McMurray on Third avenne, near Seventy-first street. The detec tive sprang from the car, but his man had disappeared. For two days the officer paraded that neighborhood, but to no purpose. On the third day he extended his walk as far along Seventy-second street os Fifth avenue. Ab he glanced toward the Park he thought he recognized McMurray near the Casino, some three hundred yards away. He went toward the spot and examined the neighborhood thoroughly, but saw nothing of the man. The New York detective before referred to hap pened to be at the Casino on business, and recognizing the Ohio officer asked him what be was after. On learning his errand, the New York officer said, “If you’ll come with me to that octagon building yonder, they’ll| show you the whereabouts of the fellow you want, if he’s in the park, in two minutes.” A FORGliK CAPTURED. Detective Lambert went to the Octagon ac-| cordingly, and explained his wishes. The camera was put in motion, and in thirty seconds he discovered McMurray seated in au arbor not two hundred yards away, calmly smoking a cigar. In five minutes’time the officer had his man. “I watched the whole proceedings,” said the New York detective to the Sun reporter, “as it was cast upon the! table. I 8aw Lambert approach, McMurray start and try to dodge him, and the detective ■grab him and bear him down to his knees. Then I saw Lambert put the handcuffs away,] and McMurray quietly light a fresh cigar, hand another to Lambert, and both walk off together apparently the best of friends. Last Wednesday a lady residing in Fifth ave- I nue visited the park with two friends, accom panied by her little boy of four years. While the lady and her friends were chatting togeth er in an arbor the child strolled away, and when the alarmed mother became conscious of the fact he was no where to be seen. Search was made in every direction by the lady and her friends, but to no purpose. At length an officer who was consulted by the distressed woman, directed her to the Octagon. Thith er she and her friends went. The camera like a good angel went to work to discloso the whereabouts of the lost boy, and in a few minutes a small white speck was discovered in the sheep pasture. “That’s most likely your child, madam,” said the expert in charge of the camera. A LOST CHILD POUND. The lady examined the speck carefully, and there sure enough was her darling, every foa- tare and limb discernable, lying curled up on the grass fast asleep. Mr. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, vis- 1 ited the Octagon the other day. He was great ly astonished and delighted with what he saw. “That’s what they Bhould have had when they were after Captain Jack in the lava beds,” said Mr. Cody. ^President Grant, in his last visit to the city, spent nearly an hour in the Octagon, and gazed with interest on the views presented by the camera. Three of the President’s party had remained with the carriages on account of being weary, and the camera subsequently revealed them going up a by-path to the Cas ino for the purpose of refreshment.

On an eminence overlooking tbe lake in Central Fark, and a couple of hundred yards from the Seventy-second street entrance, the Commissioners have recently erected a wooden structure,known from its shape as the Octagon. It would stand iu a square of about fourteen feet. N umerous funnels jut oat from tbe sides, straight orLsbsped,with the orifice downward. These are for ventilation. There ore two doors, bnt no windows. Tbe Octagon stands on a platform, and is approached by steps. As yon enter tbe door you see before yon a round white table, about the size of an ordi nary card table. In the centre overhead is a cylinder that resembles a piece of stove pipe. A metal rod like an elongated car hook hangs trom this within reach of a man’s hand. This Octagon is the home of the camera obscura, the only one of its kind in this conntry. It has been in operation for some time, al though the fact is known to comparatively few. Yesterday a Sun reporter visited the Octa gon. The oourteous gentleman m charge in vited him to enter. He did so, and the door was shut All was dark except tha surface of the white table. Upon it was depicted a most beautiful landscape, with men and women walking about, children and dogs frisking, and horses trotting along at a brisk gait. Tbe scene was at once recognized.

A perfect picture of the pork to the south of the lake was spread out upon the table. A movement of the rod brought another section into view, and by and by New York city as far down as Dr. Bellows’ church was dis tinctly flung in miniature upon the table. Still another movement, and Hoboken and the Paliaadea were presented. The Eighth avenue cars rolled along on one ride and the steam cars rattled post on the other. The spoke of every wheel and the face of every passenger were clearly marked. Every color and tint of the folliage was there, and the slightest waving of a leaf was faithfully rep resented. Every portion of tbe pork not shut off by some physical obstruction was in turn reflected, and the attitude and motion of each person walking cr seated woe dis tinctly seen. The earners produced upon the table a series of pictures most beautiful and startling, the' moving figures—approaching, receding, crossing—making it seem like a glimpse of fairy land. As may be well supposed, ike camera haa yielded some surprising revelations to tha gaosn. A New Ycek detective, who haa several times made use of the camera for professional purposes, accompanied the Sun reporter in Ms visit to the Octagon. The defective related some interesting stories connected with the camera, a few of which are given below. A JEALOUS WIT*. About tbs beginning of April two els- GEORGIA, Fulton County. Whiter A.
