LARGEST (TTY riRfILATION.
A UOV'HTA. <*A.I
TUESDAY MORNING On. 30, I*6#
Louii N»pol«on-Hit Life Deipair
* \ ed Os.
Tb«> telegraph briefly announce* that
“the Berlin correspondence of the Tri •
bun* nays that, on the 7th, the Chief
Surgeon of the French Amy left
Riarrit* to consult with the physician*
of Napoleon on the possibility of an
operation. A dispatch has been receiv
ed from the Prussian Embassy at Paris
saying that them is no hope for Napo
Icon, and that his death may be hourly
ei pec ted.**
There is something startling in this
announcement, although not wholly un
looked for, because it has been known
that the Emperor ot the French lists
been suffering for months from a com
plication of diseases, and had gone to
Biarrits to improve bis health. There
ia something startling, as we have said
in the announcement, because the
death of this great man must be produc
tive of most serious consequences to
Europe, and to the world. In these con*
sequences, the Southern States of the
Union may have no enviable share.
There are in France two hostile parties
the Napoleonists and the Bourbons. If
the Emperor dies he leaves as his suc
cessor the Prinee Imperial, a small lad,
with his mother, Eugenie, as Regent.
The occasion is auspicious for ail out
break ou the part oi the Bourbons, to re
trieve their fallen fortunes and secure
once more the throne of Frauce. The
popularity of Napoleon’s name may not
pass to bis son, and the same people
who to-day would sacrifice “their lives,
their lortuues, and their sacred houses”
for the father, would to morrow forsake
him, and shouting “rice let Bourbons P
put the enemies of that father upon the
Imperial throne. This coup d'etat
accomplished, a change of governmental
policy must follow—and a Europe gov
ernmental policy is so intertwined and
looped among the several nationalities,
that a general revolution may follow, or
if not a revolution, a general war.
The Mexican question would not
trouble the new dynasty, because that is
purely a Napoleonic idea, and by no
means popular in France. The Mexican
Empire would, therefore, being unpro
tected, cease to exist, and no longer be
a subject of diplomacy with the United
States.
The latter government will, also, per
haps, to quiet political and sectional dis
sension in the Union, make demands
upon England and France for indemnity
for losses incurred by the ac ! 'ons of
Confederaif cruisers which t out of
the ports of nations, nought
n them. The : ■ dec -v. ill pro
. : at fol
low. 1 . ’y: ay be acceded to, however,
by the French Government, which may
have its hands full with its own domes
tic and conßnental affairs. But it would
seem that a foreign war would be more
desirable in that quarter, to keep down
a revolution at home, and unite the peo
pie in (avor of the infant ruler—Napo
leon IV.
Thus we should find the world in
volved in a gigantic struggle for power,
for territory, and for wtalLh, in the
course of which, Cotton would be shorn
of its last vestige of royalty, and lav
rotting in our warehouses, to the ruin of
the South, and the injury of the whole
country.
Perhaps we paint a picture which
exists only in the imagination. We
hope so. But reading the signs of the
times by the history of the past, nnd the
light of European intelligence, we fear
that we are not much mistaken in what
we have already written.
Some time since, in looking over
an old file of papers, we rend in the
European news of that day how an in
dividual named Louis Napoleon, with a
few deluded followers, lauded on the
shores of France to lead a grand revo
lution— how he was disappointed in ob
taining any followers, or creating any
popular sympathy—and how he was
captured and sent to prison. Then the
English journals urged clemency in his
behalf on the part of the French King,
and treated the whole affair as a foolish
and puerile enterprise, unworthy of any
serious consideration. Little was it
dreamed then, that one day, that
not iar distant, the same rash young
man would sway the sceptre of Empire
over his native land, and make nations
tremble at his beck and nod. But so it
happened. Tiie Orleans dynasty was
expelled, and the Republic proclaimed.
Then, the Dictators stepped aside, and
in 1848, the popular voice of France, by
an overwhelming majority, proclaimed
Louis Napoleon her first President.
But his ambition did not stop here. By
a masterly stroke—an admirable covp
d'etat —he proclaimed himself Emperor
of the French, and won the nation to bis
cause. In his whole policy—domestic
and foreign—he has exhibited an order
of statemansliip that the world has sel
dom seen. He has wielded the destinies
of France and Europe, moving Kings
and Emperors, and constituting Govern
ments almost at will. It was only in
his declining years that his great genius
and statesmanship seem to have for
saken him and deprived him of the
power of success. To have divided the
American Union and built up the South
ern Confederacy, or to have united the
Southern Status with the Mexican Em
pire under a protectorate, would have
been a stroke of policy that would cer
tainly have resulted in success, and
crowned him with unfading glory. But
the complications which surrounded him
At home, doubtless, prevented him from
i ving the subject that consideration
which it deserved, and so loet to him a
gliiWA big prise. So, too, with hie death,
falls the Mexican Empire, which, hi
connection with the other move, would
have been a complete success, but now,
without his aid, mast prove a miserable
failure.
Then too, when he sought in the con
flict between Austria and Prussia to ag
grandise France, by the extension of he
boundaries to the Rhine, he found his
equal in a quarter little expected. In
the midst of the struggle arose the Prus
sian Bismarck, who ontgeneralled not
only the Austrian Emperor and his com
mander, but Louis Napoleon also. France
saw her powerful ally, Austria, shorn of
her strength, and Prussia increased in
wealth, territory, and power—a rival for
the possession of the balance of power
on the European continent. If he had
succeeded, ho would have added much
to the glory of France, much to his own
renown. But his statesmanship and
wisdom failed him here, as it did iu re
gard to the South, and he leaves to his
successor now to carry out liis policy in
the future, or to adopt a Dew one, as
that successor nifty decide.
His death is an event upon which the
fate ot the world hangs trembling; and
which would at this time, be productive
of most disastrous results. It is to be
hoped, therefore, that the reports of the
daugcrons condition of the Emperor’s
health, are exaggerated, and that he may
yet still live to promote the glory of
France, secure the tranquility of Eu
rope, and preserve the peaee of the civ
ilized world.
Contemntible!
There are always persons to be found
in every age and country, ready to pros
titute their talents to the lowest purpo
ses for gold or promise of reward. One
Thomas Nast, an “ artist” of Ilarperian
patronage, has been furnishing a series
of illustrations to the “ Harpie’s
Weekly,” on various political affairs.
Seme of them were amusing; but one in
a late number which is so graphically
described by the Cincinnati Gazette , in
the article appended hereto, is so blas
phemous and insulting to every sense ot
religion and truth, thnt it cannot fail to
win for its author the contempt which
he so justly merits.
We are aware that,‘if every Southerner
were to refuse to purchase that vile
sheet, which presumptuously styles it
self “a Journal of Civilization,” but
has been more properly called tbe
“ Journal of Scissorization,” it would
not cause it to suspend publication ; but
our people owe it to themselves, to their
sense of honor, religion and sectional
pride, to refuse to contribute to its sup
port. Some of the Georgia booksellers
refuse to keep it in their establishments.
It would be a good thing if all should
adopt that course.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
More Johnsonian Foktraitures.—
Andrew .Tohnsqn is an inexhaustible
subject for the Satire of Thomas Nast,
His-carieatures of the great Presidential
traveller, in the last issue of Harper's
Weekly, are as keen and pointed as any
of those wtih which Gilroy amused the
British public sixty years’ ago. In a
large central picture Andrew is repre
sented in the altitude of a Catholic
( Saint.. Ilis hands are devoutly crossed
r on his breast, his head is humbly bow
ed, bis eyes are half closed, while tbe
nimbus, or celestial ray, shines over his
brow. In the margin are the words :
“ Fellow citizens; It ifnot (or the pur
pose of making speeches that I appear
before you, I have discharged all my
duties, and fulfilled all my pledges. Who
has suffered more tor you and this Union
than Andrew Johnson ?”
Surrounding this Tnain piece are en
gravings illustrating Lincoln conferring
offices on loyal men, and Johnson lite
rally kicking them out. The general
result of his tour are indicated by his
entering the large, and emerging from
the small, end of a horn. His reception
in New York is depicted under the
figure of a ride on the City Mayor
(mare) Hoffman. Another cut shows
the President bowing gracefully to Jeff
Davis, while he presents him with a
pardon. Wendell Phillips and Thad.
Stevens are, meantime, hanging on a
gallows in the background. In another
engraving the disgraceful accompani
ments of the Cleveland Convention are
portrayed ; the President being drawn
in his shirt sleeves, clenching his fists at
the angry crowd, and again scowling at
some of his plain spoken audience. In
a series of small engravings the starving
men of Andersonville, the maimed in
mates of the hospitals', and the wives
and children of the loyal dead are set
forth as the objects whom Andy has
forgotten.
The New Orleans massacre; a Union
soldier with one leg voting the anti-Ad
mintstration ticket; and the President
with “The Constitution as I see it” un
der his arm. are among the other illus
trations. The likenesses are all admir
able, the resemblance of the President’s
portraits to their origiual being very
perceptible even when most distorted.
Appropriate mottoes from Mr. Johnson’s
various speeches are appended to each
piato. The whole series is admirable
and must be seen to bo appreciated.”
All the labored sophistries of the John
sonite advocates melt into thin air be
fore such trenchant and well merited
rididule.
Another Fearful Programme of
Radicalism. —The advent of the incen
diary editor of the Chronicle to this
city, after his protracted canvass for
the senatorship in Pennsylvania, is
marked by new and most atrocious
demonstrations. In case the Governor
of Maryland shall exercise his undoubted
prerogative to remove the tyraunical
Police Commissioners of Baltimore,
through whom only about a fifth, or a
fourth, perhaps, of the citizens intend to
perpetuate an .intolerable aristocratic
rule, then the ferocious editor of the
Chronicle predicts that a Radical mob
will invade Maryland from the North,
and overturn tho lawful and loyal
authority in that State. This proposi
tion of a reckless demugogue to again
bring on the horrors of civil wur upon
the nation is in consistence with several
of his recent speeches, which certainly
border upon extreme desperation. They
will he the subject of comment by us to
morrow.- National Intelligencer, Oct. 20.
What Next!
Secret political associations seem des
tined to thrive in the United States like
toadstool*. , The time ia coming when
we shall beat Italy all to pieces in thie
particular. New leagues and alliaucee
nre chronicled every month, and here it
another, called the “Const itntlonal Alli
ance,” in which the following oath
must be taken by members over two
crossed swords:
“ 1 solemnly swear in the presence of
a jnst Go 1 , to preserve, uphold, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United
States, the President of the United
States, the constitutional and rightful
exponents of the law. I also solemnly
swear that I will, when called upon by
tho lawful Arcs of the Octagons, respond
to and obey the commands of the Lines
of the Triangles, and will peril life,
suffer Imprisonment, loss of property,
and every discomfort, to preserve liberty
and justice, and to uphold nnd defend
the of the United States,
the President of the United States, and
the constitutional and rightful exponents
of tho law.”
Now, that looks like something—thnt
takes our eye —and no wonder the order
is said to be going ahead like lightning.
This idea of responding to the lawful
Ares of the Octagons and laws of the
Triangles is evidently just tho thing, if
a mah conld understand it. There is,
also, so far as we can see, no rational
objection that the more advanced among
the initiated should swear upon the holy
poker to obey the pentagonal hypothe'
niise, whenever called upon, either in
perpendicular, horizontal or geometric
ratio, to’ serve the rhomhoidal process,
and never to squint up the chimney
while the pot is bilin’.— Macon (Ga.)
Journal cfc Messenger.
But suppose that the base of the Rec
tangular Triangle should retuse to unite
with the Apex of the Cylindrical Tube,
and die Septagon should rebel against
the authority of the Arcs of the Octagon
ami trample upon the laws of the Trian
gles, and the Degrees of a Complete
Circle should decline to acknowledge
the authority of the Parallels of the
Quadrilateral; or in other words: Sup
pose, as the Commodore had it “An
irresistible force should ccrae in contact
with an immovable substance,” what
would be the result of this Constitutional
Alliance ? That’s the question to he an*
.swered-
COMMUNICATED.]
“ Ab Initio.”
Mr. Editor .- Adam unquestionably,
to all who have studied Geology, was a
mushroom, and it is humiliating to the
pride of humanity that, while he was
the first and absolute President of the
whole earth, he had not the moral cour
age to avoid shirking the moral respon
sibility, and sneakingly put himself
under the protection of a petticoat—l
beg pardon—of a fig leaf! Who can be
surprised that, under such an influence
the earth became corrupt, and required
an universal deluge of water to purify
it?
Moses, who appeared after the flood,
was no doubt a perfect mustard seed. Sec
how he came up from among the bul
rushes, liow he was citrefully educated,
how he became thp leader of the Jews
toward the promised land, and yet, mus
tard seed as lie was, we have to regret
his want of moral courage in shirking
responsibility and dividing it with the
“seventy-five men of tho ciders of
Isiftd.” Here we see the incipient be
ginning of the failure of the Jewish dis
pensation—it was grand, magnificent,
and successful for ages, and yet it was
a grand and magnificent failure, leaving
the earth so much less corrupt, how
ever, than at the flood, that there was no
necessity for the universal application
of either fire or water.
For 1866 years, under the “so-called”
new dispensation, which, by the way, is
not so new, there seems to have been a
struggle between the mushroom and the
mustard seed for supremacy—the mush
room contending literally that the “stone
rejected by the builders should become
the head of the corner,” or, as Bill Arp,
Artamus Ward, and “sich like” would
express it, that the bottom rail shall be
on top of the fence, while mustard seed
contended for religion, law, and order,
vulgarly denominated “red tape.”
Up to the present time, mushroom
seems to have prevailed. Instinct is
sovereign. Intellect and reason have
been obliged to hide their “ diminutive
heads.” They call upon the “ rocks
and the mountains” to fall upon them,
hut they won’t fall. The strife must bo
prolonged—let it go on—let us strike
again for God and Liberty. “ Truth is
powerful and will prevail.”
Mustard Seed.
How the Revenue of the Atlantic
Caiii.b is Used. —The Invester’s Guar
dian, an English journal, thus explains
how the revenue thus derived from the
Atlantic telegraph is at present appor
tioned : “ A through message from Lon
don to America of 20 words is charged
£2O. The British line to Valentia gets
6s; the American lines, Port Hood to
New York* 10s. This leaves for two
companies £l9 4s. The Newfoundland
Telegraph Company takes ouc third of
the gross receipts of the two cables, £6
Bs, per message which has to meet the fol
lowing claims: Working expenses and
maintenance of the cables, with a stuff
at London and Valentia; dependurohol
ders, y>er annum on £600,000, £120,000.
This can be paid off at three months
notice by funding £1,200,000. One
year’s interest is nearly dno now. Then
follows the Atlantic telegraph 8 percent,
preference stock of £600,000, £40,000;
and the original 4 per cent, stock of
£600,000, £24,000. Should any balance
remain after the £l2 lCs per message
of twenty words has supported the above
charges, the Anglo-American Company
can claim one half; and the remaining
half is equally divided between tho 8
per cent, preference stock and the 4 per
cent, original stockholders of tho Atlan
tic Telegraph Company.”
