SECOND EDITION.

THE EXP OF THE EMPIRE WHAT XEX T? The dispatch published elsewhere announces the end of the Empire of Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, which was born in fraud, and wrong, and bad faith 011 the night of December '2nd, lSf.l. The humiliation of the last Napoleon must be terrible indeed. Only a few short weeks ago his impetuous army started 011 the road to Jena and Berlin that their fathers trod." Today, the Prussian eagles wave triumphantly over a conquered army and a shattered empire.

The exclamation of every true heart is, thank God for it! Not that wo bear France any malice nay, rather we pity her, sympathize with her deeply and truly. She has come up through great tribulation, through mighty wars, through bloody revolutions. Patiently she groaned under the insufferable yoke of Despotism until, able to bear it no longer, slu- rose'in her might, and, with irresistible hand, tore the hated thing from her and trampled it in the dust! And what then? From the horand darkness of Revolution a god was born, and prostrate beforo it she has knelt and worshipped. But even while she worshipped the god changed to a demon, and Tyranny, proud, unconquerable, tcrnal, again pressed Us relentless heel on licr neck A Napoleon had risen, and in tho splendor of conquest laid the foundation of a royal house. It is the old tale, told over and over again. That house, degenerated, disgraced, has offered, through its last representative, a nation as the victim of its mad ambition. And while we write, thousands of brave Germans, and thousands of as brave Frenchmen, lie rotting—a feast for vultures to feed on! This as the price of monarchy—this to perpetuate the line of Napoleon Poor France! She has struggled for freedom and gained slavery. She has deluged the altar of Liberty with the blood of her children, but Liberty has scorned her offering.

Franco is humbled at tho feet of the great German power. It is the night of Waterloo over again. What does the outlook give to the French people? William of Prussia is a firm believer in the divine right of Kings. His sympathies, the support of his great army if necessary, will be 011 the side of the Bourbons whose weak and vasciilating rule in the past has been the disgrace and the infamy of France. But France will not receive the Bourbons. Willingly tho French people would never exchange a Napoleon for the Count of Paris. For five hundred years the Bourbons held France under a tyranny

degrading that the people

were in a condition of misery and vassalage, as pitiful as that of the American negro during the existence of slavery. The liberalization of Spain came from the exile of the Bourbon princes. The Bourlnm blood directly, or indirectly, is responsible for more wrongs upon the people than any line of princes not now extinct. France, if she has free choice or option will choose tho Republic, and in that choice she should have the encouragement of all friends of freedom throughout the world.

All governments are but necessary evils, and enough, Heaven knows, there is in our own to be ashamed of. Our own free government, with hor franking privileges, and endetships, and contested elections, is not spotless but superior, infinitely superior, is she to the gv.llty, Hood-stained monarchies of Euro|e Even in her youth and weakness America can stand up and say to the priest-ridden, king-hauutod Old World, Sister, I can show thee a more excellent way follow in my footsteps." Will she Will France, disencumbered of her Napoleonic dynasty, join the ranks of a higher civilization—a civilization of free government True, it is affirmed that hot-headed, enthusiastic, fanatical Franceeannot maintain a goverment such as ours. We beliero it not. She is an enlightened nation. Her philosophers and savans have been the pride of Europe—of tho world—ever since learning has been deemed a thing of which to be proud. If the masses arc ignorant, what shall teach them but •elf-govorniueut Monarchy has tried it, and she has failed—Republicanism can, at least, do no worse.

i§®

Franco loves liberty. Her La Fayette fought Air it by tho side of our Washington. Let but Us seed be planted on her soil, «id millions of pat riot ie nmrtvrs will be ready, If need be, to water it with their blood.* Anil what If tumult and Insubordination do arise at times, and blood How—yea, even In rivers How—has It not flowed HO before? Will Liberty ask vaster, bloodier oblations than Despotism has demanded? 1/Ot us hear no more of Incapacity for self-government. It shall be, it must be. Republicanism cannot but prevail! It is bound to conquer, to gather under its banners all nations, and peoples, and tribes, and tongues. No power can resist it—none, ultimately, will wish to resist it. Better than all other governments, it will swallow all others up. Not all at once not soon, perhaps. The Old World still loves its kings and queens, its Williams and Victorias but wait till a James II, or Goorge III, revives—wait till the royal palace holds a feeble, licentious, idiotic prince—till monarchy means tyranny and oppression and bloodshed,—wait till these things eoino (as they have come, times without number, In the past), and wo prophesy speedy casting aside ot tho old, worn-out machinery of the Aliddlo Ages, and a speedy adoption of that which, simple and perfect, is alone lit to be used to-day.

For the present let there conic up 011 the air a mighty, thunderous shout of •'Vive la Liberte!" Napoleon III. is dethroned, and let every son of France dedicate himself another Charlotte Corday—" Angel of Assassination "—to plunge the dagger to the heart of him who dares to whisper of a throne Let it be resolved that, come weal or come woe, never

again

shall King or Emperor

wave the sceptre over France let mothers teach their children to lisp the name of Libert with that of God, and we fear not, we' doubt not, that hereafter France will be free as America--^every whit as free!"

THE CODE OF IIOXOR." Our people in general—and persons occupying tho loftiest positions, socially or politically, in particular—are very jealous of their character, and always resent, more or less, any imputations that may be brought against them. With some, the jealousy amounts almost to a morbid condition, upon which no argument however plausible seems to exercise a beneficial influence. The insult has been given, which sometimes may be only imaginary, and he who is thus deemed to have overstepped the latitude of propriety is called to account, that the difficulty may be settled according to the code of honor." The law or code of honor" constitutes certain rules by which social intercourse is regulated among persons of fashion, and -which are founded on a regard to reputation and in every instance of dueling— which occurs only in fashionable society—tho satisfaction for a petty insult is not obtained until one or both of the principals have been wounded or killed outright. No duel takes place without having been premeditated, and hence the intention is the same, even though the shots do not prove fatal.

The "code of honor," so-called, proved fatal to one of the participants in the duel which recently occurred, near Shanghai, in Mississippi, about one hundred yards beyond the Tennessee line, between Mr. E. L. Hamlin and Mr. E. T. Freeman, both highly respeced citizens of Memphis. Mr. Hamlin was the unfortunate gentleman who died on the spot. A young lady is reported to have been the cause of the difficulty. "The mother was wild with "grief, and would not be consoled.

Friends and neighbors shared in the grief, strong men and weak women "alike, shedding tears over the*occutrence, which had thus despoiled an old and respected family of its brightest jewel." The dying man merely said, "Say nothing to my poor mother, but tell my father I was born a gentleman and died a gentleman," ere he expired. He was to have been married in a short timo to tho lady who is reported to have been the innocent cause of the sad occurrence.

Legislation has exerted its utmost endeavors to counteract this morbid tendency to compel an individual to substantiate with his heart's blood some assertion uttered in an unguarded moment reflecting upon tho character or the reputation of another person but it appears that when honor demands satisfaction tho laws of the land are powerless to prevent bloodshed, the vigilanco of the officers is eluded, and tho life claimed to have been forfeited by an idle word is revengefully taken. advocate the adherence to the laws, both State and National, which prohibit this species of slaughter. When a duel has taken place, sometimes the more honorable of the two participants in tho criminal proceedings is the victim, being slain by the same person who ofTered the insult, In such a case, how is honor satisfied? Is it just and proper that a ruthless hand should insult and then slav the individual because of his being insulted? Will the reputation of either be materially improved in the eyes of all candid gentlemen if one or both perish It is a solemn thing to take a life even in self-defence.

The propriety of dueling may well be calied in question. It is not a legitimate custom since the law utterly prohibits its being practiced, and consequently it is not countenanced by law-abiding people. Although Alexander Hamilton consented to meet Aaron Burr in the field, as he thought necessary after having been challenged to single combat, yet he manifested the greatest repugnance to the proceeding,

which ho had ahvay* very stieiiiiounly opposed, Ho foH.July I'A lHOfl, mourned by nil the InhabltantM of Mils country. The remark of Mr, Hamilton, that he eonnldored "Mr. Burr an 1111"Hitfr and iiutlt pornon to bo placed In such an office," (that of Governor of Now York), wan certainly Just, a* HiibHoquent events proved It to bo. Ho made no attempt to take Mr, BUIT'H 1Kb, for he dtnehargod his pistol in the !r, whllo Burr deliberately alined at Mr. Hamilton's person. Did the reputation of Mr. Burr shine with new lustre after I he perpetration of this deed? Nay, verily from that I lino Mr. Burr, who had fully vindicated his honor to his own satlnlUctlon, travelled the downward road only to meet his own destruction, besides decoying others Into a snaro which forever ruined them. He died in poverty and rags, unlainented bv a single person, and his memory is not cherished as that of a man with a reputation unblemished by ll»e blood of his fellow-man.

We do not seo wherein it differs from murder in cold blood, as it is all a premeditated affair, and cannot bo defended on the ploa of self-defense. When a duolist, after having satisfied his honor," turns his attention to his occupation or profession again, ho is looked upon with suspicion by his former associates, and in many of the States is forever disfranchised, so far as officeholding is concerned, from the fact that without perjuring himself he cannot qualify, as I10 is obliged to affirm on oath that he has never been a principal, nor an aider or abettor of a duel. In social, cvery-day life, too, lie experiences the fact that there has been a radical change those who were once his boon companions pass him silently by, instead of greeting him with a cordial grasp and a beaming smile.

We know it has been the custom—especially among members of an Imperial family—to indulge in this horrible proccedure with an enthusiasm worthy of a better cause still it is but a morbidly acute sensibility with regard to reputation only, stimulated by a revengeful disposition, that characterizes this species of man-slaughter. Many have been the victims to their sense of honor who had filled the highest positions within the gift of the people before their unfortunate decease, and who might have continued in places of public trust, had they not engaged in the unhappy custom of duc.ing. It is very seldom that right is accomplished by violence, "for the wages of sin is death."

MINORITY REPRESENTA TION. The representation of minorities is a subject that is beginning to attract a great deal of attention in this country. 1$ is being put to a fair test in Illinois, where, under the new constitution, electors voting for Judges of the Supreme Court, are allowed as many votesj^ as there are vacancies to fill, which can all be given to one candidate, or distributed among several. To illustrate suppose there are three vacancies, a voter can cast three votes for one candidate, or two for one and one for another, or all three for separate persons. This gives tho minority representation. Witli three Judges to elect in Illinois the Democracy, who arc in the minority, would cast all their votes for one candidate, thus securing his election, and representation upon the Supreme Bench, when under the old system the majority would elect all the Judges. The great advantage of this system is that tho minority is heard, and has a voice in the affairs of the country, without impairing in the slightest the rights or just privileges of the majority. The despotism and injustice of tho majority has been felt with mighty force in the nation, 'f

The national plan for effecting this object is as follows A BILL TO AMEND THE REPRESENTATION OF

THE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS.

Be it enacted etc., That in elections for Representatives to the Congress of the United States, whenever more than one Representative is to be chosen from a State each elector of such State duly qualified shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of Representatives to be chosen from the State, and may give all such votes to one candidate, or may distribute them equally or unequally, among the greater number of candidates and the candidate highest in vote upon return shall be declared elected.

This bill secures representation to every important political interest in the country. It will insure the continuance of popular and able men in Congress, and will be the death knell to the hopes and aspirations of small politicians. It will striko at corruption in elections, because the wavering and uncertain vote, which controls closely contested elections, will lose its influence. It will be imsossible for any party to elect all its candidates, and the influence of tho bill will be favorable to moderation and sobriety, which have been so wofullydeficient^in the political contests of this country.

The majority rule is certainly a great improvement upon one man power, but it is a kind of despotism, after all. Is there justice in denying representation to the Democratic minority in Illinois, or to the Republican minority in New Jersey? A free government thrives and fattens upon ideas. This plan causes every shade of feeling, every variety of thought and every new idea to bo represented. After its adoption the government will be purely of the people and for the people.

The men who founded our government were surpassing wise and perfected a system that was good for their day, but it is as foolish to say that there are no improvements to be made in government as in navigation and motive power. Progress is the word. A government in which the people rule and all shades of sentiment are represented, approaches very near to perfection, however*

We confess a lack of reverence for the majority. We remember that the

majority is nearly always011 tho wrong side, and that nil great reforms have been made in spite of numbers. It was so In regard to emancipation, and also in reference to tho enfranchisement of the blacks, which great and just measure was done in spite of the peoplo, who would havo voted It down any day in the last four years, had it been submitted to them, by overwhelming majorities. It is plainly evident that corruption at tho polls will bo checked by tho adoption of the new system. There will be no Incontlvo to piircluiso votes or fo import illegal votes, because they will not. alter or offcct elections, unless the corruption is upon a gigantic scale novor known before, and hardly possible in the future.

The project for representation of minorities stands investigation, and is gaining friends twery day.
