‘And now, I contfuued, “I should fee!

j ‘My dear sir, all the cash I possess is at your

dred—lour hundred!’
| £ ‘Thank you, fifty will be quite sufficient.’
‘May I hope,’ added the banker, when I
I rose to the continuance of your patronage ?’
‘Certainly,’ I replied.
j There are few moments of my life on which
I look back v ith more satisfaction than on
those occupied in my interview with Mr. Ber*
I gerot. I doubt if I should have believed in
! the twenty thousand francs a year, if it had
not been for the fifty Napoleons.
In the mean lime, my two friends were
! shocked at the sncces of their story, and were
not a little alarmed at my sudden journey to
Par is, which was attributed by other to legal
business. (Jeorge and Albert then began to
fear that I r< ally bcieived in the authenticity
of the invention they had concocted.
Three days after my return, they came to
see me \i ith long faces.
•My dear Louis,’ said George, ‘you know
your cousin is not dead !’
•I cannot be sure of that,’ I replied, for I
am by no means convinced of his existence.’
‘Well; hut you know that this inheritance
is only a hoax ?
To toll the truth. I think vve arc the only
people who,are of (hat opinion.’
‘Y\e have been very wrong to originate
such a foolish invention ; for which wc are
vert*’ sofrv.’
‘Oil the contrary, I am very much obliged
to you.’
‘But it. is our duty to contradict it, and to
r confess how foolish we have been.’
Truth cannot, remain long concealed ; peo
ple began to wonder that no news qame from
Martinique ; the wise and prudent shook their
; heads ominously when my name was men
; tinned.
‘The most ludicrous feature in the ease is,’
j said one, ‘that he has ended by bcleiviug in
j the truth of hisowu invention. For my part,
1 must say that I was always rnther sceptical
1 about that inheritance,
•l also, Sl id Mr. Felix,‘thought it has cutt
lire fifteen thousand francs.’
On seeing a dozen letters on my table one
! morning, 1 gussed that the bubble had burst,
i Their contents were much alike; for instance.
‘Mr. Mayer’s respects to Mr. Meran, and
j having heavy payments to meet, will feel
| obliged by a cheque for the amount of the en
j clotcd.’
My replies disarmed all doubts of my per
j feet solvency.
•Mr. Moran’s banks to Mr. Mayer for hav
ing a/ last sent in his account, and encloses a
cheque for the amount.’
Mv cool and unconcerned demeanor kept
curiosity alive for a few days longer.
•What a lucky fellow !’ said one.
•Luck has nothing to do with it,’ rejoined
another; ‘he has played his cards well, and
has won.’
Once or twice, I confess, I felt compunc
t ‘.on of conscience ; but a moment’s reflection
convinced rue that my own exertions had no
| share in my good fortune, and that I owed all
to a universal public worship of the Golden
Calf, and to the truth of Albert’s axiom, ‘the
liqxt best thing to capital is credit.’
Nnval movements.
We learn from the New York Evening
Post that the steam frigate Powhatan sailed
on Saturday from New York for Cuba.
Judge Conkiing, our new Minister to Min
ister to Mexico, went out in her, and is in.
structed to land at Havana, to make inquiry
into the recent action of the Spanish authori
ties in refusing permission to the C'resent Ci
ty, to enter the port, in searching the Corne
lia. After closing this investigation in this
matter, Judge Cockling will proceed to Mexi
co by way of Vera Cruz.
The Post further says, that recent des
patches from Washington, intimate that the
government have received information of the
organization of 2,000 in New York fora move
mi nt on Cuba, and that the Federal officers
in that city have been instructed to observe a
i stiict enforcement of the Neutrality law, and
an adherence to treaty obligations. It is be
lieved that the movements of the United
States vessels have reference to the execution
of our ow n law, as well as the enforcement
of treaties with Cuba.

its special Washington correspondent that

Under this title the eloquent Victor Hugo
has just published at London by far the most
unspaiiqg -criticisms and the bitterest assault
made upon the usurperof Trance. It is
a volume of4oo pages, divided into nine bool s.
■ From the first of these, entitled the Man, the
Courier dcslltats Unis published an extract,
of which we here translate a portion. It is
at once a most brilliant specimen of invective
and a profession of faith in the eternal vitali
ty of Liberty:
Let us set forth dhis triumph of ordec—let
us depict this Government, vigorous, settled,
squared off, strong, who have more ambition
than pyirs ai and miserable
beggars, sustained on the Exchange of Foulil,
the Jew, and in the Church by
the Catholic; esteemed by wonrajp who wish
to be girls, and by men who wish to be per
fects; sustained by a coalition of prostitutions,
giving fetes, making -Cardinals, wcaiing a
white cravat and with aiv opera Yurt underlie
arm; with gloves like fresh butter as Moray,
new-varnished as Maupas, fresh brushed
as Persigny; rich, elegant, clean, gilded,
brushed, joyous, born in a sea of blood.
Yes, there will be a waking up.
Yes, men will come out otthis torpor, which,
for such a people, is shame; And when France
shall wake up, when it shall get its eyes ope n,
when it shall see what it has before it and at
its side, it will recoil, this France, with a ter
rible shudder, before the monstrous crime
which has presumed to espouse her iri the
darkness, and whose bed she has shared.
Then the lost hour will sound.
The skeptics smile and insist on saying,
“Hope nothing. This regime, we believe, is
the shame of Franee. So be it This shame
is quoted on ’Change. Hope nothing. You
are poets and dreamers, if you hope. Look
around you. The tribune, the press, intelli
gence, speech, thought, every thing which was
liiierty has disappeared. Yesterday, it mov
ed, it enacted, it lived—to-day, it is .petrified.
Well, then, the people are content, they adapt
themselves to this petrifaction, they turn it to
account, they carry on their business, and
live in it as usual. Society continues, and
multitudes of honest men find things well en
ough as they are. Why do you wish for a
change! Why do you wish to bring this
state of things to an end! Do not deceive
yourselves. This is solid, this is substantial,
this is the “present and the future.”
We are in Russia. The Neva is frozen
over. Houses are built upon it. Heavy car
riages pass over on its surface. It is no lon
ger water, it is rock. Passengers go and
come on this marbe which was once a river.
A eity is rapidly built—streets are laid out—
shops are opened—they buy, they sell, they
eat, they drink, they light a tire ou this water.
They can indulge in everything. Fear no
thing, do what you please, laugh and dance,
it is firmer than the solid earth. Hurra for
winter! Hurru for ice! It is here for eter
nity. Look at the sky. Is it dry! Is it mid
night? A dim and pallid ray glimmers on the
snow—you would say that the sun was dy
ing.
No, thou dost not die, O Liberty! One of
these days, at a moment when least expected,
at the very hour when thou art most complete
ly forgotten, thou wilt rise again.! Ah, daz
zling spectacle! Thy sun-like face will at
once emerge from the horizon and illuminate
the sky. Over all this show, overall tills ice,
over this white and stiffened plain,’ over this
water now a solid block, over this shameful
winter, thou wilt launch thy golden beams,
thy brilliant and burning rays! Light, heat,
life. And then listen!
Doyou hear thatdull sound? Do yours hear
that deep and frightful cracking ? It is the
breaking up of the ice. It is the Neva, which
flows again. It is the river, which.resumes
its course. It is the living water joyful and
terrible, which lifts up the dead and hideous
ice and breaks it in pieces. It was granite,
do you say? It breaks like a piece of glass.
It is the breaking up, I tell you! It is truth
which returns, it is progress which re com
mences, it is humanity takes up its march,
and which floats ofT, diives forward, hurries
on, stiikes, dashes, crushes and drowns, like
the miserable furnishings of a downfailen
hovel, not only the new empire of Louis Bona
parte, hut all the structures and all the works
of ancient eternal despotism. Look at it as
it passes away. It is about to disoppear for
ever. You will never see it more. This book
half submerged is the old code of iniquity—
this stool which is engulfed, is die throne, and
this which is swept away is the scaffold.
For this stupendous deluge, for this su
preme victory of life over death, what is
w anting J One of thy beams, O Sun! One
of thy rays, O Liberty!

Our neighbors of Looking Glass Prairie
have been thrown into a most serious alarm
and excitement for the last few days, by rea
son of recent disclosures, affecting the Aiar
acter of two of its citizens.
As we are informed the facts nip briefly
these; Mr. G. and wife, lately residing about
six miles north-east from Lebanon, were sud
denly taken ill, just after taking tea, dining
the past spring. They were respectuble thr
illers having a family consisting of three child
ren, the eldest a daughter about 15 years of
age. Mrs. G. died within two days after the
attack, seemingly laboring uiulei’ uu attack
of fatal 4 liolern. Mr. G. recovered; but
soon after lieing somewhat indisposed, his eld
est child, die daughter, prepared some gruel
at Ids request Os this he ate, and inimedi
utely was seized widi violent pains ncconi|ia
nied by insatiate thirst and vomiting. Mr.
G. rapidly grew worse, a physician was call
ed in, who prescribed for the cholera. In the
course of a few days Mr. G. also died. The
orphan children, including the daughter, were
then removed t Ohio, from which State the
family had originally emigated, about eight
years since.
At the time of the death of the parents no
suspicion of foul play was excited. Since,
however, the conduct of the daughter has led
to the suspicion that she poisoned both her
parents.
It seems that she was courted by a young
man, to whose attentions the parents object
ed. Their opposition to the young man was
based upon his bad character, and went so
far as to interdict all communication between
the lovers. To Remove this obstacle to their
wishes, it is suspected that the young girl
consented to and* commmitted the horrible
crime of parricide.
It is now recollected that a parcel of ar
senic, kept in the farm house to destroy ver
min, suddenly disappeared, and tha f the
daughter had inquired for poison at the house
of an uncle, about a mile distant; that the
physician who attended the dying father, re
qifested permission to examine the gruel, but
that it had been thrown away by the daugh
ter; that* the ensuing day a number of domes
tic fowls died around the house. But, above
all, the correspondence of the daughter with
the suitor, having been accidently read, dis
closed to the astonished relatives several cir
cumstances proving the suspected crime.
We learn that the Coroner of St. Clair will
exhume the dead bodies, in order to submit
fie contents of their stomachs to chemical
tests.
A judicial investigation will also be institu
ted, the result to whieh we hope will prove
the present suspicions to be unfounded, and
justly the conclusion of the Romans, that par
ricide was an impossibility. —Galena (IU.)

Presidential Election.
W<• give below the returns received up to the clo
sing of the Telegraphic office Inst night. At 10 o’-
clock on Tuesday night, the wires were cut beyond
l olilmbia, Son tli Carolina, and at 9 o’clock last night,
communication was interrupted, for some cause or
other, w ith Augusta. This, of bourse, prevented us
from getting full intelligence from the north eastern
section of our own State. From Alabama and New
Orleans we are without advices, as there has been
no communication with Columbus, or points beyond,
since yesterday morning. Georgia has undoubtedly
gone tor Pierce by a large majority. The results in
ot her States will be given as soon as received.

Yesterday, Franklin Pierce or Win
field Scott was elected President of tho
United States. In a few short hours the peo
ple liavo effected a change in their rulers, and
perhaps a radical change in the policy of
their Government, and yet there is no excite
ment in the public mind, independent of the
interest which partisans feel in the success of
Party, and no interruption to the ordinary bu
siness of life. The people who have quietly
effected these great and momentous changes,
quietly pursue their usual avocations, looking,
with curiosity and interest, to the general re
sult of the elections throughout tho Union;
but, with perfect confidence, that whoever
may be elected, the Government must pro
gress in power and in importance, and its
people in wealth, in intelligence and in hap
piness. They have peaceably settled the sue.
cession of their Government for four years;
and to whatever hand the great power anil
patronage of this Government has been trans
ferred, they must regard the result as their
act, and quietly acquiesce iu it, because tlii-ir
is no power antaganistic to the people in thi3
Government.
In a few days, by the agency of horse-flesh,
lighting and steam, the result of the Presiden
tial election will be known, and one party |
will exult over a great and glorious victory; I
whilst the other will be humbled, by a defeat. I
The people will neither feel exultation I
or depression, whatever the result may I
be, for, in the history of the Govern- 1
ment, no election has excited less in- S
terest among the masses, than the one which I
has just taken place. They have no guaran- I
tees for exultation or depression. They do I
not know the policy of the incoming Adininis- If
tration. Parties are in a transition state, ami E
they cannot foresee xvhat section of a Party, I
shall survive the advent of anew Administrs-1
tion, and control it. There are now no par-1
ties in the United States, except the ins and I
the outs; and there will bo none until the I
policy of anew Administration is develop I
and parties are arrayed in support of, or in op-1
position to it p
The great question connected with thefor B
eign and domestic policy of the Government,l
which must, at once, engage the attention oil
anew Administration, have not been effectdß
by the recent Presidential canvass. IbH
questions upon which anew Administrate™
must entitle itself to the support, or recti'™
the condemnation of the people of this Union*
have not entered at all into the canvass, !™
which it has been brought into power. IV™
has been no distinct issue made upon at™
question by the two great political paificsfl
the Union in the recent canvass. It hast®
exhibited a bold and independent advocatß
of any principle of principles, by either®
Whig or Democratic Parties, but a fes®
anxiety to accommodate candidates and pfl
forms to the opinions of every section ofl
Union, and every faction of every party. ®
public opinion of the people upon any
every question of public policy, remains®
changed and unaffected by all the dec!®
tions of party platforms, by all the avovi®
candidates, and by all the rhetoric which®
been expended to effect the election of-®
or of Pierce. The canvass has been ba®
of any result, except the success of a pat®
the election of a man as the Chief Mag®
of tho United States. Wc must wait®
patience and hope, to see the conseque®
which will follow this election. The®
issues connected with slavery—the Cm®
mise policy of Fillmore’s Administration®
annexation of foreign territory by conqu®
purchase—tho doctrine of intervention ®
affairs of foreign countries, are the qne®
which rftust engage the attention of ®
Administration. The public opinion ■
these questions, is now ns it w'tis hcfm®
