This escaped political convict and implacable Nemesis of the French Commune, is at present the great sensation of the Northern journals and restless newsmongers. We are surprised, that any educated person in this country, unless can leer anv I ground, that res cr ectj mil a Jacobin! like Ilochofort himself, interest in him.

His very extraction is for he drew the nourishment of treacherous principles from his mother' or plied his fearful batteries against of the Empire, and exerted all energy to, break down the throne having) followed to the letter the iii ' pie of Clara t and Danton, in the! terrible! throes of his couutrvm'en revolutionary, least. Having the integrity liis trenchant of Napoleon; famous exam ining i . .I.;' i 5 anatici of. the inflicted bv sm, he ervi- nqw goes back to Europe from the penal tude of New Caladduia, to re-kmdle his" fiery hate against the struggling fortuj.es of jlcMa hon. .Such a man, in America, ought not to be allowed countenance or entertainment afc either EXIT FAIR CL 0 TIL At a recent Radical pow-pow in Jones County, the negroes and their few white-rskinned allies there assembled, instructed their; delegate to the Judicial Convention to " stick " to Clarke, and under no circumstances to vote for Fairclolh. The inference is, that if they can't get Clarke, their delegate ma y vote a little for Seymour. As Clarke has already shown his full strength, and his nomination is therefore impossible, and as the ..spirit of Opposition to Faircloth seems to be , unrelenting. Mr. Seymour will please step before the foot-lights and make his best bow. We like, occasionally, to invoke our " pro- lactic soul" and slightly forecast the future. And in doing so, our power's of prevision enable us ; to say, that at the next meeting of the Checkerboard Convention, at Kinston, the game will either be; a drawn one, and the result as heretofore, or the nominees will he, Augustus S. Seymour, for Judge, notwithstanding his ini tials are ASS, and John Y. Sherard, for Solic itor, notwithstanding liis undisputed right to spell his whole name with the same three let ter. The Convention will be a second Ther mopyl&s to our modern Leonidas; Sherard will be his Xerxes, and any. one of the delegates his Ephialtes. As we heard a gentleman re mark the other day, the delegates seem to have Moore on the auction block for sale, very much after the style that was pursued towards some, of his negro confreres, in the days of slavery. They propose to sell him to the highest bidder, and give him no part of the price, except, pos- ibly, a scent, and before he became a 'Radical he said, iu a public speech, that he didn't like t'. ; public I places, or in the dwellings ' of citizens. . . It hiis be-c-n the misfortune of her noblest intellects, for the last peiiturvj. been iu the ranks of -infidel pi private France, that have kilosophers or insurgent politicians.

Thev have cul their countrymen into a chronic c! I .. . They have fixed upon their nation a hopeless political yearning for an impossible Utopia, which neither Lycnrgus nor Locke ever dreamed ' ru : - :.,. j j - ' of in their most adventurous speculations.- So that when an honest, amiable old egotist, . like Thiers, comes to the helm of the Republic, -or a strong-hearted, trustworthy soldier, like McMa- hon, is! entrusted with the reins of pc r ' 1 garret and cellar in the French Capital swarms with conspirators and malcontents, and' inali cious plotters at once begin to plan the ruin of their country. That is what thi man Roche- fort is even now doing. H. freely tells the reporters of the public jourmds. that the famous nta and Mags i Marshal, who won the battles of - - ' --' i - I I r Solferiuo, is an imbecile aiid a bungler, that he is afraid of the distinguished journalist, 'Henri Rochefort, and that said journalist is going to England and to Switzerland, to rain fire the head of the martial President.

To the Editor of the World : t ! , Sis : I see that the future social position, in her hew foreign home, of the President's daugh ter appefirs to exercise considerably her fair countrywomen. Perhaps I need add nothing bh this subject to yonv own full and accurate social diagnosis of the case alreadj- published; but as I see that the matter. .is, regarded as one of so much importance as to justify a solemn publi cation of the exciting fact that on their passage out from New York to Liverpool in the steam- 'ship, Baltic the young married couple will ac tually " dine at the same table with the rest of the cabin passengers," you may possibly think it not out of place 'for an " old stager " like my self, : who has seen a good deal of American ladies married to foreign lords, to appease the yearning of the rxpular mind with a brief sketch of the social results of marriages con tracted between daughters of Columbia and sons of the " effete monarchies," As to the marriage now most immediately in teresting the American public, you are quite correct in saying that if there be a waiver of social rank and consideration abroad on either side it is on the side of the young lady. Mr. Sartoris certainly does ntt belong in any way to the territorial aristocracy of England. He is a grandson on the one side of Mr. Urban Sartoris, a native, I believe, of some Mediterranean coun try, who formerly lired at Sceaux, near Paris, and who married the daughter of an English merchant, Mr. Tunno, who purchased a property at Warnford in Hampshire. On the other side he is a grandson " of Mr. Charles Kemble, the actor. His mother, like her sister, Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, il a lady long distinguished for her accomplishments and much admired in the circle of her acquaintances. The prescriptions of established rank have weakened a good deal of late years in England, so that, whatever her alds or masters of ceremonies might have to say of the precedence to be accorded to the new Mrs. Sartoris in her jnew home, it is not likely that she will be exposed to any particularly dis agreeable reminders of the difference between the i social prestige of the daughter; pf an American President and that of the wfe of a simple English subject; A cousin of her hus band's however, curiously, enough, who is by birth an American, would .-.undoubtedly in any martinet.

So this tinie there are no American ladies ; qcc)i that in Englard at vantage as ose whose history your columns. pjung such coins or "thre.e graces of Baltimore,' has 'been already recited in On the Continent the present generation of American ladies has made lcjftier conquests, spealkig still, of course, from the strictly con ventional point of view!

By this marriage Miss Hamel is connected witi the J royal Louie of Bourbon and with the two imperial houses of Braganza and of Hapsburg-Lorraine. This oughi to, but perhaps mav not console Louis iana in a measure for ihe suffering inflicted upon! her by the carpet-bag dynasty of thelKel- ( dreadful thought!) the distinction between a patrician and a I roturier can be impregnably founded! There (are indeed children and .de scendants of American ladies among the titult nobility both of England and 5f the Contiiien as, for example,- in the case ot me iuurat?, born of the Lucieh marriage, of 'Prince-Royal of Na ples," with Miss Fraser, of Georgia, and of General Mansfield, Inpw Lord, Sandhurst, who is a son of Miss' Smith of Baltimore. But I iuust not wander off too far into the past. A number of American ladies have married persons of title ia France. Germany, Belgium, and Italy, the most notable cases being perhaps those ofj the slaughters of Mr. Davis, of New York, one of whom had the good fortune to vex all the Roman princesses-by drawing the first choice of seats in the tribune allotted to those distinguished darn'et at the Great Council of 1869 ; that of Miss Haight of New York, now Duchess de la Torre in1 th ex-kingdom of Naples; that of Miss Gordon, of Ohio, married to. one of the Yiscounts Viliah XI Y. , of the financial family, 4 authorized by Louis XIY. to add to the numeral ofj his place among the kings of France to their patronymic.

From all which it wil clearly appear, I hoi)e, that if Miss Grant hat not permitted her fancy to be taken by a coroj- net she has not thereby seriously diminishec j - i her chances of social honor and esteem even beyond the Atlantic.
