AN exchange indicates a way in which those wlio are really anxious to serve their country in a public capacity, from purely patriotic motives, and not from a desire for tlie emoluments of office, can be gratified. There arc no less than thirty Consulships at present vacant, because 'they are not prolitable. Salaries attached ,to them being small, and the cost of liv-

1'in«

at the points where they are situated ,-ather high, none but men of means can therefore accept these unprof.tab but honorable positions. The probabilities :ire that the President will have thirty Consulships at bis disposal for some time

A POFL'I,AR impic "sion prevails that political matters are nearer perfection in Massachusetts than in the majority of the oilier States of the Uoion. But that public offices are not managed as well as they might be in the Kay State is evident from the ncccslty of a refoi party, which was organized some time ago.— This body is to assemble in State Convention next month, and has already perfected arrangements for holding Congressional nominating Conventions. What is to lie reformed is not yet clearly set forth, but in due time there will doubtless be published a platform setting forth all that is bad in the politics of the Bay State with efficacious remedies for the evilsmost potent among which will be oflices

for the reformers.

A PROMINENT Republican journal asserts that the Chicago Tribune "is the BENEDICT ARNOTVD of our political oi ganization, for, like that traitor, it is engaged in supplying the enemy with transeripts of our plan of operations, and with diagrams of our fortifications and tlie disposition of our forces. So deliberate and unrelenting is the hostility of the It ibune to GRANT'* Administration, that we do not believe it could adopt a policy or advocate a measure which that journal would not stigmatize as folly and delu--ltW mnrp tjin ft ear, its columns have Kwarmeu witTr^iTV ecpuVg of the President and of the majority in Congress, until one is almost ready to believe that its editors have ransacked the vocabulary of abuse in search of denunciatory epithets fullest of pungent meaning and vindictive force. Ever since the day when the editor-in-chief of the Tribune returned from Washington, discomfited in his ambitious schemes, his newspaper has bristled all over with resentment.'' i. j,

TriK Chicago Republican alludes to (he treatment of prisoners by both France and Prussia, as being in strong contrast with the brutalities of the liebel Government, while our domes!ie contest was rasing-

Neither of these .European belligerents liasaLibbv Prison nor yi-i an Andersonvilie, for the starvation, torture, and niurder of the helpless victims of strife, and no political party to justify, if not sympathize with, crimes against humanity.— The people, with a natural instinct of ircnerosily on both sides, have hastened id contribute supplies of necessaries and luxuries, so grateful to the unfortunate brave. The gibe and taunt, if it rose to any lips, was hushed, and a feeling of sympathy and regret seems to have been mutual. It is these expressions of Christianized humanity, that relieve war of some ofits worst features, and show that there is a feeling of universal brotherhood In the hearts of men, however divided by prejudices, antipathies ami language. The Southern eatise lost strength in every eivil/.ed land when it was degraded bv inhumanity. The natural sense of mankind revolts .at acts of tyranny and despotism, inflicted on defenseless prisoners but when to this exposure,starvation and neglect were added, the cause of the South was ha :ed, where it had before been tolerated. For everyone of iis prison murders, it made a thousand new enemies, uid the whole Iemoer.-itic press in the North had not force enough to suppress the tenth, zealous as were its labors.

What is !ie "Power of Hie Press!"

We are apt to speak of the power of the press as something in itself an influence to every man that prints a newspaper, and not responsible to any of the agencies which build or destroy. The power of the press is as much under a law of ethic as any other profession, and its canon.ii*/ be carefully observed. Any one man may print a newspaper, and if he understands his calling may reach a large eieulation. I nless it is a fair, impartial, trustworthy journal, it may be read by hundred thousand readers, and have no more influence upon mankind than so much thistledown Hying in the air. A newspaper must tell the truth. It must aim to comment upon men and events with fairness and courtesy. It mav have strong political sympathies, and in political discussion it may use the most strenuous rhetoric. Hut with a people naturally as fond of fair plav as the Americans, nothing makes less impression than bitterness and invective.

How often have we learned from the Tribune, for instance, that all men are liars or something worse who do not agree with it on matters of political economy. We remember that this celebrated epithet was applied to Mr. lirvant in a tariff discussion. Yet the men who have been thns denounced, Senator lou»ias for instance, have reached high honors' having been exalted by the suflra»es of men who would have spurned them had they believed the angry newspaper. How often has the U'ttrM assured us of the

manifold sins and shortcomings of the President, his meanness, his incompetency, his selfishness, his unfitness for anv duty of war or peace! Yet the people who believe in the World have been very glad to honor this man as a most satisfactory President.

There is a limit, however, to invective, which even party journals do not trn gress. Look at the assaults of Mr. Dana upon the President and Mr. Fish and Mr. Davis. The country would naturally expect that every slander upon a Republican President and his Cabinet would be welcomed as a sweet morsel by the Democratic press, and be rolled under the tongue of every Democratic orator. Yet we find these special slanders overlooked by the very men who would be supposed to use them in anger or scorn. Take the old story written and written again and again, about Mr. Bancroft Davis, the text of a hundred Sun editorials, with every degree of exaggeration. No one copies it or comments upon it, or regards it as of any more value than the declamations of the razor-strop man on Nassau street, who has declaimed on one subject for a generation. The multitude sees in a razorstrop man an anxious merchant selling his wares, while Mr. Dana is regarded it an angry, disappointed virago, at war with tlie world, and venting his anger upon every passer by.

Henry J. Kaymond one time said to us in conversation, speaking of the severity in newspaper criticism, that nothing was of more consequence to a public'man than what a journal would say of him to-morrow—nothing of less consequence than what it said yesterday. To all abuse there is a limit! Human credulity will not even in anger, go beyond a certain point. It is quite impossible to make the thinking world believe that men who have risen to high station, who have served their fellows with patriotism and sclf-deniel, deserve punishment as criminals. Editors may rave and scream, feeling that the world listens in patience and belief to their angry words. If they would only listen, it would be to see the world quietly hurrying to its own affairs, or as much amused with their passionate antics as the gaping crowd in the circus when the ring-master lias his nightly quarrel with the clowns.—New York Stana

A'Few Words of Warning'. EDITOR KOCKVILLE REPUBLICAN.—Our Parke County financier, brevetted 'Col.' by DickBright, rebel editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, in consideration of his in the cause of repudiation, argues services the creditor class is benefitted by contraction of the currency, and the debtor diss is consequently injured by it and for this reason be is in favor of inflation, Now, it will be borne in mind that the hobby of "contraction" is a creature of his own, manufactured for the occasion as no person of any party is asking any contraction of the present volume of currency. On the conrrary, the Republican members of Congress have just increased the vol ume of the currency $54,000,000, divi ding it among the Western and Southern States.

But 1 want to call attention to the poicerful argument of the Brevet "Colonel." He says: "Let us compare the ordinary money lender with any other ordinary business man. Let us suppose A. to be a farmer and B. to be a money lender. Suppose, in March, 18G5, A. had 1,000 bushels of wheat in his barn, and that the volume of money then was about $43 per capita, as it was in the Northern States, and that this wheat was worth three dollars per bushel, making $3,000 A. had invested in wheat. Suppose that at the same time B. had $3,000 in money. A. and B. were equal iirthe value of their possessions. Let us suppose that A. decided to hold his wheat two years—as hejiad a right to it into money and B. loaned out his money at ten per cent, interest per annum or the same time. Suppose at the expiration of two years A. sells his wheat, and B. collects his note. In the meantime, by the elose of the war and Mr. McCulloch's contraction, there being only half as much money as formerly, to-wit: $1,500, instead of $3,000. How is it with B. when he collects his $3,000 note? lie lost nothing. His note calls for the same number of dollars as when money was plenty, (though wheat did not,) besides $(00 interest." So I have followed the "Colonel" through all his suppositions in the case he proposes and what does lie prove? Simply that B. acted the part of a calculating, sensible man, and that A. acted as a stupid,ignorant ass, and that he reaped the proper reward of his folly. But, says the "Colonel/' A. had a right to hold his wheat two years] that may be true, if he owed nothing and jn that event he had just the same right to burn his wheat stacks and save the labor of threshing and marketing. B. also had the right to slick his money in the stove, oti the same hypothesis, and burn it but he chose to act the part of wisdom and loaned his money at good interest.

For the benefit of the "Colonel," and those like him, who are troubled by such goblins as he has paraded before II.-I, produce the exact counterpart of the positions we have just disposed of. A man traveling into a far country railed his own servants and delivered unto them his goods. "And unto one he nave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one to every man according to his abilities, and straightway took his journey. Then he that received the live taients went and traded with the same, and made them five other talents. And likewise, he that had received two, also gained other two. But he that had teceiveil one, went and digged in the earth and hid his lord's money." Al'.er the lord returned,he called his servants to account the that had received live talents, had by trading, gained other five, and he that received two, had gained other two and they each received from their lord, "well done, thou good and faithful servant." But he that received one talent, after the fashion of the "Colonel," said "lord I knew thee, that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown: and gathering where thou hast not strewed and 1 was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth," Now, I maintainjthat the "Col onel's" man "A." has just the same ground of complaint, and no other, that this shift lesss, thriftless, do-nothing fellow had who refused to protit by the opportunities given him. Ifthe "Colonel" will take time to read the 25th Chapter, of Matt., and the ll.Uli Chapter of Luke, he will fine! the complete counterpart of his man "A.: and the sympathy he met with, when the Lord said, "out of thine own mouth will 1 judge thee, thou wicked servant."

The "Colonel's" sympathies all seem to to How in the direction of this New Testament character, who received the con deinnation of our Savior.

But, to return to the direct question re-iterate the idea expressed in my last communication: That the nearer the currency approaches the standard or gold value, the better for every class. The health of commerce requires a stable cur reney of uniform value agriculture, the professional pursuits, the mechanic, the day-laborer, all thrive best when a dollar is worth just one hundred cents in gold, no less, and no more.

It might as well be argued that intoxication is the most healthy condition of the mind, and of the body, as that the industries of the country are promoted by the stimulus of an over-issue of paper currency, resulting in depreciation and fictitious prices of the various coinrnodies entering into the commerce of the country. A morbid activity to trade, imparted by such an agency, invariably esults in a corresponding depression, which swallows, in its vortex, the unhappy victims of a misplaced confidence in "promises to pay," which promises prove to be of impossible fulfillment.

VERITAS.

NAPOLEON'S CAREER.

A Rose-Colored Picture of His Early Life.

His Attempts and Failures to Secnre the Crown.

The Paris Montieur of April 21,1808, contained the following announcement: "Yesterday at 1 o'clock her Majesty, the Queen of Holland, was safely delivered of a prince. In conformity with article 40, of the act of the constitution

Floreal, year 12, the Chancellor of the Empire attested the birth, and wrote immediately to the Emperor, the Empress, and the King of Holland to communicate tlie intelligence. At 5 o'clock in the evening the act of birth was received by the Arch-Chancellor, assisted by his Eminence, Reynault de St. Jean d'Angely, Minister of State and State Secretary to the Imperial family. In the absence of the Emperor the prince has not yet received his name. This will be provided for by an ulterior act, according to the orders of his Majesty."

A day or two afterward the young mother received the following letter: "BORDEAUX, April 23,1808, "i am my dear Ilortense, in an excess of joy. The tidings of your happy accouchment were brought to me yesterday by Mr. DeVilleneuve. I felt my heart beat the moment I saw him enter. But 1 cherished the hope that he had only good tidings to bring me. I received a second letter, which assures me that you arc very well, and also your son I know that Napoleon will console himself in not having a sister, and that he already loves very much his brother. Embraca them both for me. But I must not write too long a letter for fear of fatiguing you. Take care of yourself with the utmost caution. Do not receive too much company at present. Let me hear from you every day. I await tidings from you with as much impatience as 1 love you with tenderness. JOSEPHINE."

This child, born under such flattering auspices, and destined to undergo the strangest mutations ot fortune that imagination can conceive, was the third son of Louis Bonaparte and Hortense Beauharnais. The first had died in infancy, and the second was the Napoleon alluded to in the note we have copied. Louis and Hortense were an ill-assorted couple, brought together by the ambition of Josephine and the exigencies of state. The Empress, with no hope of an heir herself, and knowing the intense desire of her husband for a successor to the imperial crown arranged this unfortunate marriage be tween his favorite brother and her only daughter—feeling perhaps a dim foreshadowing that at some distant day her grandchild might sit upon the throne of France, and find more happiness there than ever she had tasted. By a decree ot the Senate these two children declared heirs to the empire should Napoleon and his elder brother' Joseph die without issue, and this decree was submitted to the people and ratified by a vote of 3,522,675 to 2,599. But the schemes of Jose phine seemed to fail almost at the mo ment of consummation. She was not permitted even to participate in the christening of the boy whose birth she had hailed with so much joy, for in less than two years divorce had driven her from the Tuileries, and she was living in retirement at Malmaison when Charles Louis Bofoaparte was baptized by Cardinal Fesch, November 4, 1810 Napoleon and his Austrian bride, Maria Louise, acting as sponsors. On the 13th of March, 1811, the King of Rome was born, and thus, to all human^apj^arance, vanished the last would wear the golden ring of sovereign ty. When Napoleon was re-inaugurated Emperor on the Champ de Mars, June, 1813, the two boys sat beside him on the platform, and amid the roar of artillery and strains of music from an hundred bands, he presented them to the deputies of the people and to the army, as in the direct line of inheritance to the throne The impression then made upon the sua ceptible mind of young Louis was never after effaced. Through all the bitter trials and disappointments of his earlier life he had never forgotten the name he bears, and in going forth to meet what must be the crisis of his fate, he confides that name to his son, and bids him re member it and be worthy of it.

When the allied armies entered Paris Queen Hortense, who had them assumed the title of Duchess of St. Lew, was ordered to quit the city in two hours. Accompanied by Prince Schatzenberg and her children, she set out for the frontiers and took up her residence at Pregny, in Switzerland but scarcely had she settled in her new home before a command came from the Swiss government to leave its territory at once. She had 110 choice but to obey, and resuming her weary journey :-ought refuge at Aix in Savoy. Here a tresh Morrow followed her. Her husband from whom she had been for some time separated, sent an agent to Aix with the necessary authority to demand and receive the oldest boy, and remove him to Italy, where the father then was. Again there was no alternative but submission, and the child was given up though the agony of parting almost drove the mother mad. Hardly was this pang over before a summons arrived from the French authorities ordering the immediate expulsion of Hortense from the Sardinian borders. Homeless and friendless, she sought out a quiet spot on the shores of Lake Constance, and here she was permitted to remain for a few months. Hereft. of all else, she devoted herself to the care and education of her son, superintending all his studies, giving him lessons in thawing and dancing, and selecting his readin

Saturday was always employed in viewing the studies of the week, and the anxious mother, herself highly educated, spared no pains to direct the culture of her son in the proper channel. But the jealous Bourbons did not long allow Hortense to linger in her humble retreat. She was obliged to leave Baden and go into the small Swiss canton of Thurgovia, and thereat last the exile found permanent shelter in the chateau of Arcnemberg, which continued to be her favorite residence until death. Here, too, the two brothers were united again, and in 1819 Hortense took them to ^ugsburg, in Bavaria, and entered them at the celebrated college in that city, where mother and son remained until the graduation of the latter. After the completion oi his education, Prince Louis returned to Arenemberg and spent several years in military studies, particularly the artillery branch, and employed his leisure time in pedestrian excursions through the Alps and Italv. The French revolution of 1830 aroused him from his peacelul pursuits, and believing that the hour had arrived for the assertion of their claims, the exile members of the Bonaparte family, including Hortense and her two boys, met for consultation in Rome. The latter decided to take part in the Italian insurrection, and in answer to the earnest protest of their mother, Prince Louis wrote as follows: "Yonr affectionate heart will understand our determination. We have contracted engagements which we cannot break. Can we remain deaf to the voice of the unfortunate who call us? We bear a name which obliges us to listen."

The insurrection terminated as might have been anticipated, in utter and hopeless defeat. Napoleon Louis, worn out by the fatigues of the brief campaign, died 'at Forli, March 17, 1831, and his brother fell sick at Ancona. Weak and helpless with a price set upon his head by the Austrian Government, he owed his rescue to the unconquerable love of Hortense. Hastening to Ancona she managed to deceived the guards, and se

curing a private carriage, put Louis behind in the disguise of a footman—traversed the entire breadth of Italy, and embarked in a small vessel on the Mediterranean. Landing at Cannes, the fugitives went at once to Paris and threw themselves upon the protection of Louis Pliiippe. This generous monarch, though not unwilling to aid them, was afraid to grant them a personal interview, but sent the President of the Council to call upon Hortense. She addressed him thus: "Sir, I am a mother. My only means of saving my son was to come to France. I know very well that I have transgressed a law. I am well aware of the risks we run. You have a right to cause our arrest. It would be just." "Legal, madame," replied the Minister, "it might be, -but not just."

The result of this meeting was that Hortense and the Prince were advised to go to England, and thither accordingly they went and remained several months, receiving great attention from the Duke de Bedford and other prominent noblemen. In the spring of 1862, the President and Council of the canton of Thurgovia conferred upon Prince Louis the right of citizenship, and invited him to put himself under their protection. Gladly accepting the offer, Hortense and her son returned to their old horne^ at Arenemberg, but had scarcely arrived there before a Polish deputation appeared, bearing a letter from Gen. Knaizewiez, Count Platen, and other leading men of Poland, begging Prince Louis to put himself at the head of their nation in a final struggle for independence.

The entreaty was not in vain, and Louis set out for Poland but before he had gone far the news of the fall of Warsaw reached him, and he returned to Arenemberg In July. 1832, Napoleon's son, the Duke of Reichstadt, died, leaving none but Joseph and Louis Bonaparte between Prince Louis and the succession to what then seemed the barren sceptre of theimperial dynasty. This quickened his hopes and inflamed his ambition. He renewed his military studies, and gave to the world several books of considerable merit, among them "Reveries Politiques" and "Manuel sur l'Artillerie." In October, 183(5, occurred the memorable fiasco at Strasburg, from tlie consequences of which Louis.was saved by the fears of Louis Phillippe, who did not dare to punish with death a scion of that family whom France still worshipped. He was banished to the United States, and Hortense, who, at the first news of disaster, had hastened to Paris, did not see her son again until a year later, when he stood beside her death-bed.— The stories of bis poveityand dissipation in this country are wholly fabulous.— While here Prince Louis was a guest of Washington Irving, Chancellor Kent, the Hamiltons, Livingstons, and other distinguished families of New York, and conducted himself in a manner befitting his rank. He had contemplated an extended tour through the States, but his plans were changed by an urgent letter from his mother, in obedience to which Prince Louis immediately sailed for London, made his way with great difficulty across, the continent, and arrived at Arenembe.g jusi in time to close the eyes of a parent who hud loved him better than she loved her life.

The attempt at Boulogne in 1840, his six years' imprisonment at. Ham, his ad« venturous escape from that fortress, and the career which began in 1848, aretoo well known to need recapitulation. With such a marvelous past as this behind him, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte now confronts a future which will furnish a fitting climax to a story that mocks all the creations of fiction.—St. Louis Republican.
