in the Southern Home of yesterday, is
a lengthy but well written communi

of his course in the Senatorial con

by Messrs. Humphrey and Love, who

The life of tlie dejpeaa wasentf'
ful Vand chequered. sHei was ,the
youngest son of Louis, the . King of
Holland, and Hortense, daughter of
the Empress Josephine, and was
born ,in , Paris April 20, 1808. The
Emperor and Empress were his spbni
sors at baptism, and he, was an early
favorite with the first Napoleon. He
was carefully educated by his mo
ther, who resided, in Paris under the
title of the Queen of Hollana. .Af
ter Waterloo the family; retired to
Augsburg and subsequently to Swit
zerland, Louis in the meantime
learning the German language. His
principal tutor was M. Lears, a stern
Republicanbut he was for a time a
scholar at the military school of
Thu, where he did not become a is
tinguished. When the revolution
of 1830 broke out he petitioned Louis
Phillippe for permission to return to
France, but the request was refused.
In 1831 Louis and his broth e -Napo
leon took part in revolutionary
movements in Italy, but an end-was
put to those Papal authorities through
France and Austria and the Bona
parte3 were banished from the Pa
pal territory. Shortly afterwards the
elder brother died of anxiety and faw
tigue. Louis applied in vain, for
permission to join the French array,
and then, after visiting England, re
tired to his mother's chateau ai'Aru
euburg in Thurgeu.

poleon Bonaparte the successor of
Napoleon I according, to-the imperi
al edicts of 1&34 and-1805, which set
aside the usual order of descent and
fixed the succession in the line of
the fourth brother of Napoleon,
Louis, instead of in that of the elder
brother, Joseph. This opened a new
career to his ambition, and thence
forth his efforts were- directed to the
acquirement of imperial honors and
Eosition. Having prepared the way
y the publication of Napoleonic
books, he, in 1836, put himself in
communication with the military
officers of Strasbourg, and on the
30th of October in that year pro
claimed a revolution. The result
was a miserable failure, only a few
regiments rallying to his standard.
The Prince was captured, but fortu-
nately, through the entreaties of his
mother, was sentenced to Damsn
ment instead of to death.
Banished from France, he came to
the United States, and after idling
here awhile went to South America.
Summoned to Switzerland by the dy
ing condition of his mother, after
her death the government ot France
demanded his extradition : which he
avoided by withdrawing to England

sons and a tame eagle, which was ex
" . . . j tr
pected to perform some exploit to
arouse the enthusiasm of the French
people. The eagle did not perform, and
no enthusianasm was aroused. Louis
Napoleon was tried for treason, and
sentenced to perpetual lmpneon-
meilt in the fortress Of Ham. While
in prison ne wrote Jtiisioncai r rag
ments," an analysis of the sugar
question, and an essay on the ex
tinction of pauperism. He publish
ed also Considerations rolitiques et
Milit aires sur la Suisse and a Manuel
sur V Artillerie. After six years heef-
fected escaped in the dress of a work-
man, and went again to England.
When the revolution, of 1848 broke
out the star of Louis Napoleon .was
at last in the ascendent. He repair
ed to Paris, and was elected as a Re
publican to the National Assembly
from the Seine and three other de
partments. In may 1 1850, he was'
elected President of the Republic by
a large maioritv. Once president, all
his schemes were directed to his per
sonal advancement, and a breach
soon occurring between the i Prince-j
Presidentas he was called, and the
representatives of the people, the fan
mous coup detat took place. On the
i blv was dissolved, one hundred and
eighty members placed under arrest
andthe people who rebelled Were

before ascribed to him. His .coup
d'etat of the 2d- of December, 1851,
was his brightest- achievement. He
jnad.e .himself Emperor by force
with the most unprecedented econ-
omy : of exertion and blood. , The
French people had very little . sym
pathy with -him. France was as
mucbr surprised, we suppose, by his
kicking over the Republic and his
selfnelvatioh to arbitrary power - as
was any; other country. ..
i The greater part of his reign was
cne of peace and thrift in France.
He showed sagacity, good taste, and
energy m many tnings, especially in
beautifying Paris. He acquitted
himself with excellent judgment in
the war between Italy and Austria,
and in ' the Crimean war. He took
the lead in both. The King of Italy
was nothing without him, and by
address he took the inner track from
England in the Crimea.
That he had talents, coolness and
shrewdness cannot be denied ; and
his complete and sudden break -down
in the war with Germany was a fate
so strange-that it is still unaceoulit
ble.. That a man so vigilant as he
had been, and with so much experi
ence, should have gone to war with
such a ' Power so wholly unprepared
has been and is a wonder of the
times. His unprepared condition
of course brought upon him 1 tope
less and fatal disasters, terminating
in the ignominious surrender at
Sedan. France did more for him
than she did for the Great Napoleon,
and in return he inflicted upon
France the heaviest disasters, if not
the deepest sorrows, she ever knew.
His life began, in folly, was prose
cuted with- pertinacity, plausibility
and well tempered ambition, and
closed in commonplace retirement.
Few monarchs have ever lived whose
death caused fewer regrets ?snd fewer
tears. France will remember him
more for the evils he entailed upon
her than the good he did her. He
found her one of the first civilized
powers, and he left her covered with
the ruin, dust and blood of,, war, for
eign and civil, and reduced- to- the
second rank in the grade of nations.
Poor France ! Time and fortitude
alone can heal her wounds and re
store her dignity,

Congressional.
Washington, January 11. There
was no session 01 tne feenate.
In the House, the pending ques
tion at adjournment yesterday was
the amendment of Mr. Smith, of
New York, forbidding the payment
of judgments of the Court of Claims
for cotton captured before June, 1865,
except special appropriations are
made for them.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, replied to
Mr. Smith's speech of vesterday, re
pelling the idea that any judgment
had been paid by the Secretary of the
Treasury except in strict compliance
with-the law. He cited the unani
mous decision of the Supreme Court
to the effect that the receipt of a gen
eral or special pardon relievedthe
claimants of all difficulties which they
labored under in regard to their loy
alty, and that wherever the United
States Government hold oronertv
which it has forcibly seized, it holds
it only as a trustee, and must deliver
it back when the owner comes and
proves his title to it, without regard
7 x . 1 l l i
to nrc morar cn-aracter.
Mr. Smith did not ask the House
to throw itself in the teeth of decis
ions of the Supreme Court; but if
the Supreme Court was of the opin
ion that a disloyal claimant like
Love, of Georgia, who was a Confed
erate commissioner, and who had al
ready recovered $474.(XX)r and Lamar,
of Savannah, were to be paid, he sub
mittea tnat ai least it snouia oe on
the report oi those judgments to
Congress, so that Congress should
know and the country should know
what was being done. He reminded
the Mouse that in the McArale case
Congress had by an am endment to
an appropriation bill, -deprived the
supreme uourt oi lurisaiction, ana
he admonished Congress, the Sii
oreme Court, and the Administration
that the people were1 behind them,
and determined that loyal people
should be paid first. " If the Govern
ment was going into liquidation they
should give the preference to their
confidential creditors. That jvas all
there was in his amendment.

S Mr. Pierce, of Mississippi, opposed
the amendment as. being an attack
on the Southern section of the coun
try: He showed the-various - stages
of proof which claimants had to go
through in order to get. not the" full
value off their- cotton, but the net
proceeds of it paid into the Treasury
and which in roe instances did -not
amount to one-fourth the value; and.
asked whether. they should then., be
compelled to tome before Congress
aa have tneir claims passed ? upon

Mr. Merriamy of New Yorkr, offered
an amendment repealing the law
giving jurisdictionover . these cases
to the Court of Ctiims, but on apoint
of order raised by Mr.- Srgesvnt. : of
California, the amendment was ruled
out. He then argued in .-support , of
Smithes amendments- '
Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, opposed thc-
amendment, and argued that the on
ly remedy was the appeal of the law,
and that could not be done in ah ap-
propnauon Din. ?, c
The amendment was further opos-
ed by Harris, of Virginia, Beck ; of
Kentucky, and Mclntyre of Louisi
ana. Mr. Farnsworth , of Illinois, ar
gued against the ; idea, , of subjecting
the judgments f the Court of Claims
to be passed upon by Congress. It
would be like appealing from "Philip
sober to Philip drunk." '
Mr. Smith, of New -York, denicil
the statement made by Mr. Sargeant,
that these claims were for cotton
seized after the 30th of, June, 1S65.
By the express terms of his amend
ment such cases were excluded trom
its operation ; such claims were now
adjusted, not by the Court of Claims
but by the Secretary of the Ireasury.
Finally-the debate was closed, and
the amendment ottered by Mr. Smith
of New York, was rejected, there be
ing only 38 votes in the affirmative. .
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, of
fered an amendment that no money
shall be paid to any railroad compa
ny for transportation of mails or
troops, while such company is in de
fault for interest on the bonds- issued
by the Government.
Mr. Sargeant, of California, male
the point of order that there was no
thing in the bill to which the provi
so could apply. ,
The Chair sustained the point of
order, and excluded the amendment.
Other amendments of like nature
were ottered and ruled out.
The House then adjourned.

post-mortem examination of the
Emperor's remains was concluded at
Chiselhurst this P. M., and shows
that the immediate cause of death
was a failure of the action of the
heart. The body will be embalmed
and lie in state. The date and place
of his funeral is not yet appointed -
It lsiprobable, however, that the fu
neral ceremonies will take place m
the Roman Catholic church near the
Imperial residence.. Prince Murat
