POLITICS IN FRANCE.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
PARIS, April 30.
THE PLEBISCITE
Is developing the sap and life of the nation
to a remarkable degree, and the result ot the
poll may be fairly regarded as the present true
mind of the people. Under the .first Republic,
the Consulate, and the first Empire, the Plebis?
cites had no secret voting, and Napoleon the
Third, in calling fora mass vote, follows not in
the wake of the Ctesars, bnt that of the Roman
Republics. In 1851, the people were In a state
of terror-militarism confronted them at every
step, and the cold chain o? silence hung alike
over public men and the press. But, nous
avons chang? tout cela. Fontenelle said, that
if he had his handful of truths, he would but
open one finger at a time. The Emperor has
followed this reserve in restoring France her
liberties, and Blie has now the fullest freedom
to express her views.
THE CONSTITUTION,
as submitted for ratification en bloc, will be
approved by an overwhelming majority, not
that it contains all the liberties desired, or is
sufficiently Democratic for many minds. To
refuse it on the grounds of its defects, would
be to postpone a real progress-the step gain?
ed to-day brings the morrow nearer-hence,
why many arc forced to say "Yes." Absten?
tion; under these- circumstances, implies abdi?
cation, for if a man professes to hold an
opinion, he should have the courage to express
and fight for ll. From 1818 to 1869, the regis?
tered voters rose from ten to ten and a halt
millions-the average of the abslentionlsts on
the eight occasions the people were called
npon to exercise their i tes, whether by Ple?
biscites or by genere1 ?lections, was over 26
per cent.-a rather nigh figure; thc lowest
average, 17 per cent., occurred on the ques-1
tion ol the restoration of the Empire In 1852, '
and the highest, nearly 37 per cent., the same j
year for the election ot deputies. To deprive
the Emperor of all opportunity to resort to
future Plebiscites, ls for the Dation to use wor?
thily the liberties conceded. Another deciding
influence with many to vote affirmatively, ls
the attitude taken up by a section of tho Re?
publican parry, who will vote "No." because it
means revolution. To redress political griev?
ances by street insurrections ls decidedly out
of fashion. When a government is establish?
ed, and accepted by the majority of the nation,
it U the duty of every good citizen to submit
to the national will. Reclaim liberty-this is
all men's inalienable right, but to overthrow a
government to place in its stead this system or
that, because we ' may prefer lt, is more than
factious. It l:i the violence of parties that, up
to the present day, has made the duration of
liberty an impossibility.
HOW THE PEOPLE VOTEp.
Those who protest against the Plebiscite,
were, a few weeks ago, the loudest In demand?
ing the dissolution of the Chamber. Those
who have confidence In universal suffrage
when it is fractionally expressed, through 212
electoral districts, have no faith in the nation?
al sovereignly when elicited from one vast
and unique circumscription. All elections re?
solve themselves into a yes or no. It was in
May 1869, that the three and a half millions of !
hostile votet, admonished the Emperor he
must finish with personal government. He
wisely acted on the hint. Inflammatory ap- I
peals against his past Iron-rule will not affect
the provinces. The peasantry care little about
the blunder of Mexico or the political check at
Sadowa, Bleated budgets regard them not,
since they have not extracted an additional
BOUS from their purses, and they are content
to see the deficits of thc exchequer balanced
by a loan for posterity to repay. They have
become rich even under the despotism of the
last eighteen years-the Empire secures them
the peaceable ?nioyment of their wealth,
which revolutions have disturbed or destroy?
ed. As a clans, they are very ignorant-and
dependent on the local official to pilot them.
He is their "medicine man." By and by, edu?
cation will correct this. In 1830, they regarded
the "Charter" as the wife of Lafayette-m 1870
lt is not improbable they will embrace the
"Plebiscite" as the Emperor's son.
A BLUNDER.
In the multitude of official and semi-official
addresses, M. Ollivier has, unfortunately, in
a letter to lils constituents, touched a sore
point, when he rtopes that the result of
the vote will he a tranquil future, "in order
that on the throne, as in the most humble
dwelling, the son may succeed the father in
peace." This paragraph has naturally excited
the wrath of those who repudiate,1-Iiie enor?
mous faith of many made for all." The throne
of France ls cot an affair of civil right, or the
private property of any dynasty. The Plebiscite
-this civil wur without arms-Ls but intended
as a renewal of the bail of the Tuileries to the
Napoleons-of the promissory note. The Tuile?
ries has been more a tomb than a dwelling
place for dynasties-the people"have occupied
il nearly as orien as their kings.
"Where the poor palace changes masters,
Quicker than a snake its skin,
And Louis ls rolled out on castors,
While Boney'a borne on shoulders in."'
Bossuel made of the Grand Dauphin an im?
becile, and Fenelon of the Duke of Burgundy
a blockhead, but nature, it must be added,
contributed much towards this character of
the pupils. The Prince Imperial lives in other
times, and hi:? governor, General Frossard, is
a man of the world. Besides, his father, like
the popular Henry the Fourth, has learned the
sweet uses of adversity, and has not failed to
impress on his son that men are not counters
to be played with; that they have eyes, hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, passions, affec?
tions, like kings, with intelligence at least
equal, and In cases superior.
A FREE VOTE.
Not a reproach can be made against the gov-1
eminent as to the perfect freedom under which
the vote of the 8th of May will be taken. The
Journals are displaying the liberty of the press
to the full, and to think that lt is hardly ajrear
since M. M. Pinard and Forcade, the Home
Ministers, each exclaimed
"God knows I love, to ev'n excess,
The sacred freedom or the Press ;
My only aim's to crush thc writers :n
In May last, a caucus meeting could not be
attended unless you exhibited your voting
card, and ran the gauntlet through a cordon ot
police. Did one stop a moment beiore the
building to catch up a few words of the orato?
ry, three policemen politely begged of you to
move on. Now, every one ls free to enter the
reunions, voter or non-voter, to unload his
heart That dreaded functionary, the commis?
sar)' of police, instead of taking notes, goes to
sleep. The audience may sing the Marseillaise
as their doxology, and cry vive la r?publique
tdl they are hoarse, no one minds incus A
lady occupied the tribune at one ci these meet?
ings a few evenings ago, and had her say. She
was in an advanced state of pregnancy, and
the excitement brought on a premature con?
finement next day. Lady orators ought to
take note of this possible contingency, by re?
membering Madame Pire. It is custom try to
elect as honorary presidents of these assem?
blies some deceased celebrity. Baudin, in his
tomb since 1851, seems to be a favorite. Vic?
tor .Noir is too recently dead tobe the recipi?
ent of Jacobin canonization. But then on th?
foremost head-roll of fame there ?3 Marat,

i TICK EMPEROR'S AIM.
I I have dwelt long on the political situation of
I this country-for France is now acting history.
A nation of forty millions, whoso conduct effects
Europe, the world cannot be summarily over?
looked in Its throes at the rebirth of liberty-a
nation that lias made so many sacrifices for
exact and equal justice, religious and political,
but failed to preserve the benefits of them, is
a profound problem to ponder over. In the
1789 revolution, liberty was strangled by Its
excesses. The First Napoleon gave but the
glories ol despotism. Charles the Tenth and
Louis Philippe, by their feebleness, allowed
liberty to escape their grasp-personal varie?
ties and visionary* schemes prevented the Re?
publics from bringing it back. To give France
every lawful freedom, to firmly check Its ec?
centricities or abuse, to accustom the people
to make their own well-being-each for all,
and Cod for each-is considered to form thc
true solution of the government of the Em?
pire.
At last those Siamese twins, Rochefort and
Raspall, are separated. The former is for "ab?
stention," in reference to the Plebiscite-the
latter for a full-mouthed "no." Raspall ls a
successful apothecary-deals principally in
camphor-has always been an energetic politi?
cian, ft?d though now in the vale of years, is
ready to take the Tuileries, as he attempted
formerly the Chamber of Deputies, very natu?
rally, by "physical force and ji/tiai-ence."
Rochefort is not ill in prison. He romps daily
with his children, and they made such a noise
the other day, that he warned them, "we will
all be turned out, if we create such a row."
THE "SOOIAL QUESTION"
has, in France, taken the place of the
"Pights ofjtfan." Two things have not chang?
ed bl nee the creation of the world-death and
misery; and to evade the latter, "strikes" form
the approved panacea everywhere in the Em?
pire. Foundry men, sugar-bakers, tailors and
washerwomen are on strike, and the omnibus
otScials have sent In their demand for a uni?
form increase of half a franc per day for all
salaries. It is this struggle between employer
and employed which constitutes thc future

TUE EPISCOPAL COSVENTION.
Second Day's Proceedings-Thc Bishop's
Address.
[PROM OUR OWN COK?ESrONDE.VT.]
ABBEVILLE, May 13.
I resume my account of doings In Abbeville,
connected with..the meeting of the Episcopal
Convention. Yesterday evening there was
service at 8 o'clock, the evening prayer being
read by Rev. P. D. Hay, of Society Hill, and
an excellent discourse delivered by the Rev.
E. C. Edgerton, of Aiken. This morning, at
half-past 6 o'clock, there was a meeting at
which, after prayer, the Rev. Mr. Bellinger de?
livered one of his usual stirring addresses. The
convention reassembled at 10 o'clock, morning
prayer and litany being said by the Rev. R. P.
Johnson, of York, and the anniversary ser?
mon of the Advancement Society preached by
his brother, the Rev. John Johnson, ol' Cam?
den. Before the sermon the bishop adminis?
tered the rite of confirmation to two persons.
After the formal proceedings of reading
minutes, Ac, the Committee nh Credentials of
Lay Deputies, reported certificates from the
following additional churches, viz : Trinity
Church, Society Hill;St Luke's,Newberry^Mes
siab, North San tee; St. John's, Richland; Holy
Trinity, Grahamville; Redeemer, Orangeburg;
St Paul's, Radcliffeboro'; and Messrs. E. McIn?
tosh, from Society HUI; N. B. Mazyck, from
Newberry; Stephen E. Barnwell, irom North
Santee; A. Shoolbred, from Richland; W. R.
Treadwell, from Orangeburg, answered to
their names. The following clergymcu also
were present In addition to those of yesterday:
Rev. J. G. Drayton, P. D. Hay and J. W. Motte.
THE BISHOP'S ADDRESS
was then read by the Rev. Wm. P. DuBose.
After a full and detailed account of his arduous
labors during the year, and a report ol mis?
sionary funds received and expended by hlm^
the bishop proceeded thus :
Death again, dear brethren, calls upon us
for a memorial. One of the most respected
and beloved of our presbyters hus passed from
earth-we doubt not to the "rest that re
malneth fur the people of God." The Rev.
Christian Hanckel. D. D., is no more. His last
Illness was sudden and brief; sufficient, how?
ever, to indicate bis composed confidence in
God, and express his loving good-bye to those
who surrounded him. Dr. Hanckel's life ls
embodied with the history ol the diocese. He
was, for fifty years, the rector of St Paul'B
Church, Charleston, and extensively engaged
in the administrations of the church-a marked
man, his presence and influence were always
felt. Consistent in his principles, determined
in his purposes, brave and open in all his ac?
tions, he was always understood. We feel his
absence here to-day. You will all bear wit?
ness to what I have said; annVin the name of
the church, which he so much loved. I tender
to his iamily and friends the testimonies and
sympathies ol' the diocese. * * *
It gives me pleasure again to bear my testi?
mony to the success and value ol' the Paro?
chial school, connected with thc Church of the
Holy Communion, Charleston. It has now
passed its childhood and youth, and ls entitled
to bc considered a matured and established
institution of the diocese. In travelling
through the State, during the past year, I have
received repeated and unsolicited assurances of
its beneficial influences, and tbe regard in
which it Is held by the parents of the youths
committed to its trust. Thev invariably ex?
press their confidence in its instructions, and
their grateful acknowledgement of its relief
and benefit to themselves. In reviewing the
results of my visitations for the past year, I
find that the number of my confirmations has
been lessened. It may not perhaps be easy to
account for this, or trace it to any special
causes. It is well for us, however, to reflect
whether it does not proceed from an apathy
in spiritual things overpowering our minds,
under the influences of the necessities and suf?
ferings of our temporal conditions. In our mis?
sionary operations, on the other hand, there ls
a decided advancement. Our missions exhibit
more vitality, more promise of success, anda
wider field of action. Their finances have, too,
been much increased, having risen since the last
convention from $496 25 to $2057 70. Also
from assurances already received, I feel confi?
dent that there will be an additional increase
tor the ensuing year. Before I close this ad?
dress, brethren, permit a few remarks from
one who has closely observed the condition of
the church in all parts of the diocese. That
there is a crisis upon us cannot be doubted.
We are compelled to feel it at every point.
The old church of South Carolina is gone, in
those particulars, I mean, which gave especial
character to its visibility; but with this there
was embodied also, be it remembered, its
spiritual and eternal influences. In its old
forms and realizations, lt is more than proba?
ble that it can never be re-establ shed. Its
history is fulfilled, its record is on high, and
what ls writteu, 'is written. The reflection
carries sadness to many -a loving heart,
and many a tear hasbeen shed over the
desolations of Zion. We are entering, then,
upon a new era. It is time to stop and
inquire, "Watchman, what of the night?
"where is the vision of the future ?
The past we know. The dry light or history
has done thc work of prophecy, and rendered
clear the purposes of Providence. For the
future we have no inspiration-yes, let faith
and hope prophccv in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Shall" Zion arise ? Your hearts
reply, she shall. I ask, by whom ? Do you not
see that her old men are passing away, and
those who remain are scarcely more than wit?
nesses ? Brethren, you who are in the midst
of health and life-you who are young and
vigorous-clergymeu and laymen-this work
is yours. A trying dispensation Is calling you
to heroic efforts for the church you love.
Rouse yourselves to battle bravely for a pure
faith and a true church. Be 'not afraid or
slothful, but step bravely forward to the glori?
ous work to which Divine Providence is calling
you; buckle on your armor In the name ol
Christ and His church; seek not to offer unto
God that which costs you nothing; trials prove
cur manhood, and sufferings lead to glory.
Ur?, then, to this great work, and rebuild the
temple of the Lord ! Thc old men who are
yet lingering upon the walls stretch out their
hands t? you, and bid you God-speed.
One more word, brethren. During the past
year I have made sincere and' determined el
forts to test my health and 'strength, and thus
to ascertain whether they op equal to the ne?
cessities of the diocese. I am fully con\ ?need
that they are not,-and therefore I give you
notice that, at the next annual convention, I
will request the electienof an assistant bishop.
Very truly and affectionately,
Your brother in Christ.

TBE BLUERIDGERAILROAD BONDS
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Your correspondent "Anon," in your issue of
the 14th instant, presents rather a startling
picture for the future credit of the State, and
also for those holding State securities.
It must bc palpable to every reflecting mind
that the i6sue of the $4,000,000 bonds to the Blue
Ridge Railroad, with the State's guarantee, if
even the constitutional authority be doubtful,
k calculated to impair the State credit, and
reduce the value ol her securities now out.
The very fact that an issue may hereafter be
made as to the liability of the State upon these
bonds, and the consequent probability of a re?
pudiation of them if decided to be issued in
violation of the constitution, is enough at once
to damn them asan Investment, and Injure the
standard of thc other securities, which are of
an indlsputed character.
The difficulty is not one which cannot be
easily solved. We have an analogous recent
case in our sister State of North Carolina
Galloway vs. thc Public Treasurer and Gover?
nor of North Carolina. In that case the Legis?
lature authorized the issue and sale of bond s
ior certain railroads (the Chatham amongst
them,) without submitting the question to the
people, as required by the constitution. An
injunction was moved for against the Gover?
nor and treasurer, forbidding thc issue or sale
of these bonds, and the Supreme Court, hold?
ing that the Legislature having no right to
pass an act authorizing the issue ol such bonds
without complying with the constitution,
granted the injunction, and thus strangled the
issue of millions of them. It ls true the coses
are not exactly the same, as there they were
State bonds; but here they are practically so,
as the liability of the State is the real and prac?
tical issue. , By the constitution of North Caro?
lina, the State could not lend aid to new rail?
roads without submitting the question to the
people. Here the constitution gives no au?
thority to loan the credit or guarantee ol the
State to railroads. It is prohibited by section
10, article 9. as it is "a certificate ol' Indebted?
ness." The question of authority to make the
State liable is the real tangible question, and
the same remedy will apply in the one case as
in the other.

?&~ SALVIA'S HAIR COLORING
An insuperable objection to the continued use of
most of the Hair Dyes of the shops, is the fact that
they cause, in many instances, serions constitu?
tional effects; as no lead or saturnine poisons are
used in "SALVIA'S HAIR COLORING," there is
not the slightest danger of palsy, neuralgia of the
scalp and face, cholle, constipation, Ac.
1 This eminent chemist, for many years past, has
been endeavoring to create a chemical prepara?
tion that would combine the valuable properties
of a harmless, reliable coloring, and at the same
time render its use impossible to be detected by
the closest observation.
By the use of the ordinary Hair Dyes, the hair
presents a dead appearance, and lt is not noticed
at a glance that it is dyed.
By using this scientific compound, the coloring
of the hair is so skilfully modified and mellowed
as to defy detection, thus giving to the world an
article that has been long and fruitlessly sought
for, and guaranteed to give entire satisfaction.
Perfectly colorless-no stain to the skin. Be sure
and ask for SALVIA'S HAIR COLORING. Prepar?

?9" THE WEAR AND TEAR OF BUSI?
NESS LIFE.-The cares and labors of business
life are aptrto tell severely upon the health and
constitution of the ardent, energetic business
man, and when the need of some sustaining
agent ls felt, stimulants that cause only a tempo?
rary exhilaration, and leave the system In a Btate
of partial collapse when their first effect has pass?
ed off, are too often resorted to. As certainly as
fire leaves behind lt a reaidium or ashes, the use
of the adulterated liquors of commerce produces
premature exhaustion and decay. Touch them
not. Tone and regulate the overtaxed vital ma?
chinery with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
In that wholesome elixir, the alcoholic element,
which ls the purest derivable from any source, ls
tempered by the choicest tonic, aperient, anti
bilious and anti-febrile vegetable extracts and
Juices. To strengthen, recruit, solace and purify
the system ls the mission of the great vegetable
specific. When the stomach ls in a healthy state,
the bile flows regularly, the bowels perform their
office properly, and the telegraphic fibres of the
nervous system are In perfect working order, an
enormous amount of .labor can be borne without
risk or inconvenience, and the direct effect of the
Bitters ls to promote this vigorous condltlou of
the functions upon which the nourishment of the
body, and Its power of endurance mainly depend.
The great tonic and alterative ls, therefore, em?
phatically recommended for Its remarkable
strengthening properties, to all upon whom the
responsibilities of life press heavily, and who feel
like fainting under the burden. A lively appe?
tite, a splendid digestion, elastic spirits, and a
marvellous ability to withstand fatigue, are
among the blessings Justly ascribed to the reno
- vating operation of this palatable and powerful
cordial, and as a spring and summer alterative,
there is nothing In the materia medica that can
be compared with lt._mayll-6DAC
