"Yesterall'plmflHttrelt,' England, were assembled (the 1 grandees, war riors, statesmed, literary, men of the Later Empire, td' do honor to the dead Emperor's son who has just at tained hisjnajopty.-Th occasion,, a small affair enough in itself and con sidered alone, becomes of historical importance when we consider the present attitude of political parties in France; ' .Undoubtedly -thfe fortunes of the Bonaparte family, which were thought not to be worth a fig after the memorable 4th of September, are suddenly by a process of transforma tion known only to the volatile Latin races enhanced to such an extent that sanguine partisans predict an early restoration to the throne. Whether these hopes have solid foundation or not will probably be proved in a few. months. The old dispossessed states man Thiers is as confident as ever that Republicanism can do more for France than any other form of government. He of all the French statesmen of this period seems to Americans to keep his head and heart amid the per turbations that exist or that are threatened. "Whether he is right or wrong we shall not know during this jreneration. When the Bobbers and" the Keratrys, the De Broglies and others of that sort are dead, perhaps a new race of heroes and statesmen real patriots and good men may arise to adorn the land so long cursed by the ancien regime and the tawdry interlopers who crawled into place and power dressed in the livery of a noble though usurping house. Chiselhurst is a fane for the faction of Napoleon. Here Louis, the great Dethroned, breathed his last. Here his beauteous widow mourns, her loss. Here the child Napoleon, the young Louis, by royal fiction just declared a man, resides. This is therefore the Mecca of the Bonapartes. In these English halls and groves may not the young Chief cultivate the spirit that once burst in martial glory over Eu rope and shook the world with the fury and gratideur of its aims? Alex ander was just the age of the un tried Louis when he grasped the crown dropped from the bloody brow of Philip. Is Louis to be an Alexander ? And shall the Supple crowd who offered the sweet incense of their flattery yesterday live to see a second rendition of Wagram, Auster litz and Marengo ? Weak is our faith. Priestly petting and maternal fondling, fawning of courtiers and weak adulation of sycophantic ad mirers would spoil a healthier pre tender to honors imperial than this Louis, whom bis doting father ridic ulously and flauntingly "baptized in fire " at Gray elotte. COMES CONNECTICUT. The Democrats of Connecticut are jubilant in anticipation of a great victory next month, and the Republi cans are. cbrrjespondingly disheart-1. ened. The triumph in New Hamp shire was worth hundreds of votes in the Connecticut election. When we consider the popular disgust in the . North at the recent disclosures of cor ruption and bad faith on the part of the Republican leaders. we. are . surprised that the whole rank and file of that party do not make a break and either set up a new party or vote with the Democratic .party until the political air is purified. 'Still We are aware of the strength of party ties, how ex ceedingly hard it is to sunder them In Connecticut,; if we mistake not the signs, and if the intelligence we get from there be uot greatly exa; gerated,va complete; victory of the Anti-Administration party may be . confidently looked , for iu April.- W here, the popular condemnation of Radical miegovernment will end we -umi nut nay. it iooks now HKe we were going to have a right smart hoy tfofprjti& Reason, is over, as an old farmer would say. - 1 he Savaniiah Advertiser-Republican, one of the oldest papers in the South, is Offered for private sale by t... .

Rhode Island politicians are dis cussing the prospects Of various can didates for Senator Sprague's seat in the United States Senate. Among the aspirants for the place are Gen. A. E. Burnside, ex-Congressman Thomas A. Jenckes, the Hon. Wm. P. Sheffield, ex-Gov, Padelford, and ex-Congressman Nathan t . Dixon. A very sly old woman in Cleve land has been making money by tricks that are vain. She waylays young men, when they are out . with their lady friends, and demands that "dollar and forty cents that you owe me for washing.' The young man is generally too confused to make an immediate reply, and his confusion is jnot lessened by the inquiring looks of his fair friend, while the old wo man repeats her demand, and in some cases obtains the plunder.. Kemper's Veto. Richmond TVl"g. We have differed with the Gover nor in relation to this matter, and had earnestly hoped that he would have reached a different conclusion as to his duty in the premises; but we kuew the man well enough to know that highly as he valued the advice of friends, and patiently as he would listen to their appeals, not all the in fluences that could be brought to bear of friends, nor yet the threat of ene mies, could make him swerve one hair's breadth from what he might conceive to be his duty; this duty, as he" understands it, he has fearlessly performed, and the great body of the people of the Commonwealth will not only sustain him for having done so, but when they leani ot the ribald abuse that has been heaped upon him, they will cling to him with renewed devotion, well assured that he is as worthy their respect, admiration, and affection to-day as when he was borne a mangled and all but lifeless corpse rom the bloody field of trettysburg. The WJiig then proceeds to deny emphatically the charge that Gov. Kemper was influenced by Grant and that he conferred with Radical mem bers of the Legislature. It says he invited a conference of the most dis tinguished Conservatives of both houses after the bill had passed the ower House. We now. resume our extract from the Whig:' To them he stated, his difficulties and ursred them as friends of the measure to remove the stumbling locks out of his pathway, to con vince him that lie was in error, to irive him but a plank to stand upon as he was anxious to be with his Inends, to think as thev thought. But what was the result? He was told by the very advocates of the bill, by those who had endorsed it by their votes, that he was right; to stand firm; to veto the bill; that it had passed with out mature deliberation, and should be arrested by his veto. Such, we say, were tne tacts, to our personal knowledge. What then, we ask, of the Conservative voters of the State who rallied around. his flag last No vember, should he have- done? ..We know they will respond : " Justwhat he did', and, we add, he would have dishonored himself if, with his convic tions, he had done ought else. Au Archbishop on the Temperance movement. Archbishop J. B. Purcell, of Cin cinnati, has issued a circular replying at Jengtn to numerous applications made to him for sympathy and co operation in the women's crusade against intemperance. I he reply is not at all pleasing to the crusaders, and - their- f riends. The arehbiehop says he has often publicly- expressed his sympathy with movements in be half ot temperance. He has ever been ready to co-operate with "'any' wise effort . in . this direction, and has for, years practiced total ab stinence ;;with a view to ".. set ting a .good example, lie de clares in favor of license with heavy fees rather than prohibition. By strict and, severe license laws he thinks vile bar-rooms where bad liquor is sold could be closed. This, he conceives, would be the most ef fectual check to the evil we deplore by diminishing perhaps by 2,(0U the 3,000 " craters of hell" by which the city of Cincinnati is in peril of com bustion, aud paying the city much if not all the expenses of the. work house and other institutions which houest and sober citizens are now shamefully taxed to support. Employment of Children in Factories. The New York Legislature has just passed a bill in relation to the employ ment of children in factories. It pro hibits the employment of children under ten years of age, and - no child under fourteen years of- age shall be .employed more than . sixty hours in one week, or on legal holidays; fac tory buildings shall,be provided 'With" proper fire escapes and elevators.-ancl trap-doors to be protected by suitable means, iieayy penalties are pre- senbea tor violations ot the law. THIi SlUTI NEK BROOKS AFFAIR. J airr.fCiobjflUjiit'a Account. lr. Go&Rgtft, in his bookTof Recol lections, Ogives the following accoujpit of The caning of Charles Samner by Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina. So distorted have been the accounts printed in the Northern journals, who always speak of Brooks as a would-be assassin and of his cane as a club, that we are disposed to republish what Mr. Gobright has to say of the affair. He says: "On the 22d of May, 1866, an as sault and . battery was committed upon Senator f Sumner by Preston Brooks, of South Carolina, in the Senate chamber. The latter had taken exception to the following pas sage uttered by Mr. Sumner a day or two before that time: "With regret I come again upon the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Butler), who, misrepresenting the Kansas debate, overflowed with rage at some suggestion that Kansas has applied for admission as a State, and with incoherent phrases discharged the loose expectoration of hjs speech now upon her representatives, then upon her people. There was nothing extrinsic of the innocent parliamen tary debate which he did not repeat, nor was there any possible deviation from truth which he did not make. But the Senator touches nothing which he does not disfigure with error, sometimes of principle, sometimes of fact. He shows an -incapacity for accuracy, whether in stating the Con stitution or in stating the law, wheth er the details of statistics, or in the diversions of scholarship. He can not ope his mouth but out there flies a blunder. But it is against the peo ple of Kansas that the sensibilities of the Senatorare particularly aroused. Coming, as he announces, from a State ay, sir, from South Carolina he turns his load of disgust from this newly formed community, which he will not recognize even ,as a body politic. Prayf sir, by what title does he indulge in this egotism? Has he read the history of the State which he represents ? He cannot surely have forgotten its shameful imbecility from slavery, continued throughout the Revolution, tollowed by its more shameful assumption for slavery since. " Senator Butler, at this time, was absent on a visit to his family in South Carolina. " Brooks, the day after the speech was delivered not quite accurate. The speech was delivered May 19th and 20th, and this was the 22d lurk ed an hour about the lobby, hoping to meet Sumner, with a view to attack him. Failing in this, he entered the Senate chamber just as that body ad journed. Seeing several ladies pres ent, he seated himself on the opposite side of Sumner. Soon they all but one withdrew. He requested a friend to get her out; and then approached Sumner, and said, in a quiet, tone of voice: ' Mr. Sumner, I have read your speech with great care, and with as much impartiality as I am capable of doing, and I feel it my duty to say to vou, that you have published a libel on my State, and uttered a slander on a relative who is aged and absent, and I have come to punish vou. "At the conclusion of these words, Sumner attempted to spring to his feet, but was struck by Brooks aback nancea blow across tne neau. witu a gutta-percha cane nearly au inch thick but hollow; and he continued striking him riaht and left until the stick was broken into fragments and Sumner lav prostrate and bleeding on the floor. No one took hold of Brooks durinsr that time, so quick were his movements. But immediately after wards Senator Crittenden caught him round the body aud arms, when Brooks said, ' I did not wish to hurt him much, but only to whip him.' " VV hen the attack was made on Mr. Sumner there were probably fif teen or twenty peisous present, in eluding Messrs. Crittenden, Foster, Toombs, Fitzpatrick, Murray, and other memners of Congress, together with Governor Graham, several offi cers df the Senate, and a few Strang ers. ' "The anticipated assault wos known to Mr. Kdmundson, of Virginia, and Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, who were present when the attack com menced. It had been reported on the streets for several days previously that Mr. Sumner would be armed wnen ne delivered nis speecn, and that, if the occasion required, he would use weapons. But he was not armed when he was attacked by Brooks." Statistical fc! urea u of the National (iranse. The Executive Committee of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry are maturing a plan for the formation of a statistical bureau in, connection with the National Grange for the collection and dissemi nation of information throughout the country in regard to the condition of the crops. The new bureau will be located at Washington, D. C, and in charge of Mr. I). VV. Aiken, Secre tary of the State Grange of South Carolina, who, as -general deputy of the order, has been instrumental iu promoting its growth in many South ern States. Subordinate granges will report direct to the State grange all infor mation of interest relating to the croos The different State granges will report by telegraph to the statis-, tioal bureau of the order at Washing ton. The bureau will compile and summarize these reports into a month ly report of the crops of : all sections of the country,' and wiir simultane ously transmit this report by telegraph monthly to all State granges, which in turn wilL furnish it to every' sub ordinate grange within -their jurisdic" tion. This information will not be furnished to-the press for" publication, t being intended exclusively for the benefit of members of the order. - - - '" A A New Woman Movement In Boston. y Certain Boston women, . under the eadership of Miss Alice Dutton, have organized the "Business Woman's Mutual Benefit Association." The members of this Association are to pay, in addition to an initiation fee of $2, the sum of $3 annually, or less than one cent per " day. In return they are to receive $6 per week from the Association when they are ill except when suffering from childbirth and are to receive such loans, without interest, as may be necessary to keep them from distress when out of employment. . ,The Association also proposes to appropriate $50 for the cost of burying each dead member. lhe object and plan of the enterprise are worthy of commendation, and the wisdom which the Association mani fests in declining:. to. help members who are guilty of the indiscretion of child-bearingr will commend itself to those intelligent New England wo- men wno comprenend tnat parents ive no right to bring children into the world when they are unable to support thein.
