VOLUME X.-NUMBER 2189. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY M?RNING, JANUARY 21, 1873. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE PAPAL ALLOCUTION. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THIS TEMPORAL POWER. A Document that was Distasteful to the German Imperial Government. The allocution of Pope Pius IX, delivered the 22ii December, 1872, at a consistory ot the cardinals ot tbe Roman Catholic Church, and for the publication of which, lt will be remem? bered, several Roman Catholic journals in the German Empire were prosecuted, ls published for the first time in America In the New York Catholic Review of Monday last. It is as I follows: ALLOCUTION CF OUR MOST HOLT LORD PIUS IX. BT THE FAVOR OF DIVINS PROVIDENCE POPE, DELIVERED 22D OF DECKMBKR, 1872, TO TUE CARDINALS OF TUE HOLT ROMAN CHURCH, IN THE PALACE OF THE VATICAN. Venerable Brotliers : The Just and mercilnl Lord, whose judgments are inscrutable and whose waya are not be scanned, permits this Apostolic See and tbe whole Cintren lu union with lt to groan nuciera long and cruel perse-1 outlon. Our .and your condition, venerable brothers, has not been cbauged, but rather is daily aggravated since the occupation of our I provinces, and especially since, two years I ago, this glorious city was wiihdrawn from our paternal rule. The experience of our j yoke has taught us how correctly, from the beginning ol this persecution, promoted by the machinations of wicked sects, and perpe- I trated and carried on by their disciples at the bead of public affairs, we frequently, in our allocutions and apostolic letters, have* assert ed openly tbat the sovereign rights ol our sec? ular princedom were attacked with so much loree, lor no other reason UMO that so a way might be laid towards a .bing, if that j could be done, the eplrlri..?. authority to which the successors of Peter are clorions, and to obliterate tbe Catholic Church, and the very name of Christ himselt, living and reigning in it. Very clearly indeed has that been shown by the hostile acts of the sub-Alpine Government, especially by those iniquitous laws by which even tne clerics, toro from tbe foot ol the altars and deprived I of their Immunity, have been summoned to the military service, by which even bishops have boen deprived of the right of teaching youth, and their seminaries have been closed. Still this purpose ol theirs shall be made Billi more clear by us. In ibis very city the reli? gious congregations are disturbed under our w own eyes, or violently driven out from their h6nses, and the property ot the church sub? jected to an enormous tribute and handed over to the disposition of tbe civil authority. Even now there has been proposed in the Legislative Chamber, as they call lt, a law not wholly olBslmllar, from that which, notwith? standing our protests and solemn condemna? tion, has already been put Into execution in other parts of Italy, which must extinguish, even here In the centre ol Catholic faith, the religious congregations, and confiscate the goods of the church and offer them at public I auction. But this law-ii', Indeed, we can honor by such a name a decree so repulsive to natural, divine and social right-ls much more Iniquitous and criminal in Rome and the adjacent provinces. It Injures more deeply and sorely the rights and possessions of tbe universal church. It attacks thc very foun dation ot the true social civilization, which the religious orders, with unceasing labor and equal courage and constancy, have promoted and perfected, not only In our territory, but which they have brought and etiil bring to foreign and barbarous nations, despising difficulties, dangers, losses, even ] life Itself. In fine, this ?aw attacks ihe rights j and privileges of our apostolale, since il the f religious houses were obliterated or notably reduced, and the secular elerey reduced to 11 destitution and gradually diminishing in num-11 bera owing to the military coDscr'Ltlorj, not only here as elsewhere would ibero be want lng those who should break the bread ol life to the people, who should administer tbe I sacraments to the laltblul, who should teach the young and strengthen them against the I Innumerable ?nares daily laid lor them, but ! the Roman Pontiff would be deprived o' those I aids which, as the universal mast er and pastor, 1 he BO much needs lor tbe government of the ' entire church. The spoliation of the R un.m ! Church would Include these treasures which have been gathered here and placed In this centre of unity by tbe generosity of all I Catholics rather than by the gift ol our own I people. And so those treasures which were j Drought here for the use and Increase of the universal church will be Impiously converted to the use of others. Scarcely had we learned th?t one ol the ministers ol the sr.b-Alplne Government bad signified lo the Legislative Assembly hlB purpose of submitting to lt a law of this kind than we exposed Its monstrous character through a letter of the 16'h day of June ol this year, (1872,) addres>e'i to our cardinal secretary ot Slate, aud we cemmanded bim that be should make known to the embassadors of tho foreign princes near tbe Holy See this new danger impending over us. Nevertheless, us the threatened law has been proposed, the duty of our apostolate requires that we should re? new with a louder voice the expostulations already made in your presence, venerable brothers, and bet?re the universal church. Execrating this nefarious crime In the name of Jesus Christ, whoee vicar weare on earth, we condemn it by th? authority of the holy Apostles Peter aud Paul, and uv our own, together with any scheme or law which shall arrogate lo itself the power of dlsiuroing the rel ig'JUS orders In Rome and the adjacent provinces, and of depriving the church there of Us properly and dis; oslng it lor the benefit of the treasury or otherwise. We therefore pronounce Invalid whatever ls done against the rights and patrimony ol the church. We declare absolutely void and null any acquisi? tion, by any lille, of the stolen goods, against alienation of wblcn this Apostolic See will never cease to protect. Let the authors and supporters ot this law remen-ber the censures and spiritual punishment which, ipso facto in? curred, the apostolic constliu'lous inflict on the Invaders ot the rights of the Church, and pitying their souls bound by these spiritual chains, let them cease to lay up treasures ol' anger against the day of wrath and ot the revelation ot' the just judgment of God. . The very bitter grief with which we are af? flicted, on account ol these and the other in? juries wrought against, the church throughout italy, bas been not lightly Increased by the cruel persecutions to Which lt ls subject else? where, especially in tbe new Get man Empire, where not only by secret machinations, but also by open force, they attempt to subvert it from the very foundation, since men who not only do not profess our holy religion, but do D6? even know it. claim for themselves the right of defining the dogmas aod rights ol' the Catholic Church, and while they disturb ber they have the audacity to declare Ital th-y do ber no Injury. Moreover, adding calumny and derision to Injury, they do not hesitate to at? tribute this cruel persecution to the fault of the Cat holies, forsooth, that their prelates and priesthood, together with the fuithlul, refuse to prefer tbe laws and will of tbe civil empire to i be holy laws of God and the church, aud to abstain from their religious duty. Would that the guides ct public affairs, taught by a long experieoce, might be per? suaded that none ol their suojecis would with greater exactness tban Catholics render lo Crcsar the things that '.ire Caesar's, and this pre? cisely because they desire religiously to ren? der to God the things that are Uod'e. The civil authorities of some ot the cantons of the Swiss Republic appear to have entered upon the same path as the German Empire in deciding on the dogmas of the Catholic faith In favoring apostates and interrupting the ex? ercise of episcopal authority. The Govern? ment ol Geneva, although bound by a solemn treaty to guard and protect lu its territory the Catholic religion, has, in the past years, enacted lews Injurious to the authority and liberty ol tbe church, and more recently has suppressed the Catholic schools, has banished religious on.t.rs, and deprived others of ihe right ol teaching. Lately lt bas endeavored to destroy the authority which for many years Saat ocr venerable brother Gaspar, bishop of [ebroa, legitimately exercises, and to deprive bim of his parochial benefits it has even gone BO lar to Invite, by public so?lcitatlon, the in? habitants to schlsmatlcally subvert the eccle? siastical government. Not less grave is what the church suffers In Catholic Spain from the hands of the civil power. We have learned that a law concern? ing the endowment of the clergy bas been proposed and ratified, by which not only are the solemn treaties and conventions broken, .but absolutely every rule of right and justice li trampled under foot. This law, which is ! calculated to Increase the destitution and servitude ot the clergy and augment and in? crease the evils done to that Illustrious nation In these later years, to the Injury o? laura and ecclesiastical discipline, by a deplorable series ot acts ol the Spanish government, has called fur the just and emphatic complaints of our venerable brother the Bishop of Spaio, as it now calls for our solemn expostulation. Sadder things are also to be told of that small but impudent band of armenians who, especially at Constantinople, have endeavored by audacious fraud aud violence to overwhelm me .'une greater number who remain faithful tu their duty and faith. Belying their Catho? lic name, they continue In opposition to our own supreme authority aud their legitimate pitriarch, who, expelled by their an I flee, has been compelled to fly, an exile, to us. By their crailiness they have found favor with the civil power, so that, notwithstanding the exertions of our legate extraordinary sent thither to arrange this affair, and our own let? ter addressed to" the most serene emperor of the Turks, by force of arms they have con? verted tc their own use some ol the Catholic Churches; they have assembled in a caucus (conciliabulum) and have appointed a sc his mai leal patriarch, and have succeeded In de? priving the Catholics of tue rights which they always up to this lime enjoyed through public agreements. Concerning these troubles of the Church we shall perhaps deal more expli? citly lt our Just, protests ure despised. But amongst so many causes lor grief we rejoice, venerable brothers, that you can be consoled, a* we ourselves have been raised up from our affliction, by the constancy and in? defatigableness of the bishops of these regions and elsewhere; bishops who, girt round the loins In truth and clad with the breastplate ol Justice, and closely bound lo the chair of Pe? ter, frightened by no dangers, cast down by no afflictloo, both singly and In a body, by word and writing, by expostulations and pas? toral letter-?, together with their clergy and faithful people, bravely and with alacrity de? fend the rights of the Church, of this Holy See, and of themselves. They restrain unjust violence, refute calumnies, discover plots, de? feat the audacity of the impious, and ?bow to all the Ugh', of truth. Tney strengthen the good, and they oppose to ?he assaults of the enemy attacking them on all sides the strength ol a compac unity. To us, afflicted with so many evils of the church, they affard a most comforting conso? lation and a powerful help, which will certain? ly oe greater If they take care that the bonds of faith and charity in which their minds and affections are Joined should dally become closer. To secure ibis tel no one think lt in? opportune that I hose who, with the authority ot metropolitans, preside over the ?cclealastl cal provinces should confer with their suffra? gans lu the best manner that circumstances will permit, OD those measures which will mutually unite and strengthen them allin one mind and sentiment, and let them prepare themselves to undergo, with a unanimous effort, the difficult contest against the assaults of the Impious. The Lord has truly smitten us, venerable brothers, with His sword, bard, great and strong. The smoke of His anger ascend?, and the Ure burns from Hts face. But will God cast us away forever, or will He not be ap? peased ? No; for the Lord does not forget to have mercy, and He will not stay His mer? cies In His anger; for He is mighty to pardoo, and He may be propitiated by those Invoking Him In Iruth, and He shall pour out on us the riches of His mercy. Let us endeavor to ap? pease the divine' auger In thia acceptable time of the advent of our Lord. Humbly walking In newnean of life, let us go to the King of Peace, who ls about to come to an? nounce peace to men and good will. The Just und merciful Cod, by whose mysterious pur? pose we are permitted to see the sorrow of our people and the sorrow of our holy city, and to sit there when lt Is given imo the bands of the enemy, He will incline Bis ear to hear-He will open His eye.? and see our des? olation and the city upon which his name ls invoked. P?os IX. JBE BIRT'IDA T OF LEE SAVANNAH, January 20. General Lee's birthday wus celebrated with .Teat eclat. The first parade ol the military ?ince the war took place. The First Georgia Volunteer?, a battalion of the Chatham Artil? lery, and the Georgia Hussars paraded in uni? form. General Wade Hampton delivered an address. The day was generally observed as a holiday, and resembled the 4ih of July be? fore the war. DELILAH AUD THE DUELLO. "Josey" J?Ian?fleI(l tn Paris-Trouble Wherever She Goes. Helen Josephine Mansfield, the brilliant young female who was at Hie bottom of the Fisk-Slokes tragedy, eeeme to be creating as great a sensation and as much trouble in Paris as in New York. A recent letter says : Aside from the report wblcb was extensive? ly circulated that Mrs. Mansfield lost thirty seven thousand dollars by the tathire of the Bowles Brothers, she has caused ceveral law? suits. Borne of which will eventually prove cause? celebres, and even brought about a mortal combat between two Parisians, in con? sequence of which one of them, a Journalist of some prominence was severely wounded. The particulars of this affair are as follows : Mrs. Mansfield made her appearance at a performance of Fra DIavolo. Mrs. Mans? field was gorgeously dressed la a Butt of white satin, and the display ol Jewelry she made on the? occasion was something very unusual In Parisian society. Her singular conduct and the sensation which she produced was not lost upon the numerous representatives of the press who attended the opera, and their comments upon tie woman were any? thing but fluttering. One of them, M. Xavier Dupont, an attache of the sprightly little Vert-Vert, a gOi'lpy sheet, which makes the? atrical news a specialty, said, within the hear? ing of some ol his colleagues, i hat he would give "Mme. Lt Princess d'Erle," as he called ner, a good little notice in his paper. Sure enough the Vert-Vert next evening contained a paragraph about the occurrence, and here the trouble commenced. Early on the follow? ing morning M. Xavier Dupont, as he was mak? ing his toilet, was called upon by an exceed? ingly well-dressed stranger, who gave his name as "M. Albert Saxe," of Bristol, and who informed the astonished Journalist that he wished lo see bim about the paragraph concerning Mrs. Mansfield, which! he said, bad given thai beauteous woman the utmost offence. M. Dupont replied that he did not care a sue about that, and begged his visitor not to give himself any further con? cern about the matter, considering that the wishes or frowns of Mrs. Mansfield were ol no Interest whatever to the editor ol the Vert-Vert. Upon bearing which Mr. Saxe waxed wroth. He said be did not like to use harsh language, but if compelled to do so he would not shrink from lt. The Journalist then flared up, too. "Pray, slr," he said, stepping close up to M. Saxe, "what in the-Dame ls all Ihls any business of youre? Who are you? I dou't know von ! There's the door, you miserable Intruder V So saying, he pushed Mr. Albert Saxe towards the door, and before that gentleman was able to offer any resis? tance, landed him rather unceremoniously in. the hallway. The Journalist went down to the office of the Vert-Vert, when he was call? ed upon by two very snobbish-looltlng Eng? lishmen, who Informed him ir. very broken French thal they came to see him In behalf of M. Albert Saxe, und, in effect, had been re? quested by that gentleman to challenge M. Dupont, for what had occurred In the morn? ing at his house, lo mortal combat. M. Du? pont, who had before stood on the dangerous ppot yclept the field of honor, said he would fight M. Saxe provided the latter, upon in? quiry, would prove a gentleman of standing and character sufficient to entitle him to any notice at his hands. The necessary Inquiries were made, and il was found that there was nothing derogatory to M. Saxe's character, except that be was a gambler and a sports? man. So M. Xavier Dupont signified to M. -axe's friends his willingness to meet the challenger, and they agreed to fight the duel ??iii broadswords*. The combat came off at Longchamps, and after the two men had stripped to the waist, they began slashing at each other with the utmost tury. Saxe wounded his adversary seriously in the left arm. The doctor then Intelered, and the duel was ended. Few people knew of the affair, but somehow or other il was brought to the knowledge of the police, and two or three days aiterwards both 8axe and Dupont were arrested and placed before the tribunal of cor? rectional police. Thev did not deny that they had fought a duel; thereupon the presiding judge lectured them severely, and then sen? tenced them to three days' solitary confine? ment. THE BONAPARTE FAMILY. HISTORY A KD HOFES OF THE AMER? ICAN BRANCH. Madame Jerome Napoleon Patterson Her Indomitable W" Energy and Unquenchable Am., She Wann the Throne or France for her Grand? son-And Threatens to Live a Hun? dred Years-Citizen Colonel Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte a Stickler for Divine Righr. A Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald gives an Interesting history of the American Bonapartes, and especially of Ma? dame Jerome Bonaparte Patterson, of Balti? more, who was married to the youngest bro? ther of the great Napoleon. We make some extracts: THE AMERICAN FAMILY OF BONAPARTES, who have their residence In this cltr, and whose connection witn IIB social history for nearly seventy years bas formed the theme of ranch fireside and party gossip, have no mean pretensions to the rights that naturally accrue to the successor of Napoleon. Colonel Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte ls next to the Prince Im? perial, declared to be the legal heir to the throne ol France. He ls the oldest legitimate grandson of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon I, and conse? quently grand nephew of the latter. His grandfather Jerome came to this country in 1803 as a midsnlpman upon a French man-of war. The ship to which he was attached visited various points In the United Stales, and lt tarried here for some time. The of? ficers were entertained handsomely, both In private and public receptions, by thj citizens ot Baltimore, which was ihen one of the greatest of American cities. The young Bona? parte was ot course a special favorite. Belag the brother of the great Napoleon, whose fame was then tilling the whole world, he was courted and feted by all the magnates of the city. The belle of lasbionable society at that time was ELIZABETH PATTERSON, daughter of Robert Patterson, a son of that Patterson whom Bir Walter Scott Immortal? ized as "Old Mortality." Possessed ol' brilliant and fascinating talents, as well as great per? sonal beauly, she held undisputed sway at that time in the most select circles of society. Young Bonaparte met her at a ball given in his honor, and fell in love wllb her at first sight. After a short acquaintance they were married on the 24th of December, 1803, with Sreat pomp and ceremony, by Archbishop arro".I, In the Cathedral ol Baltimore. Miss Patterson thus became the sister-in-law of Na? poleon I, the Emperor of France. Her fam? ily were among the wealthiest citizens ol the place, and this fact, united with her distin? guished connection, brought to the wedding the first people of the elly and Slate. For nearly two years BONAPARTE AND HIS AMERICAN BRIDE occupied themselves In travelling throughout this country. Everywhere the royal couple were received with distinguished considera? tion. In the spring of 1805 young Napoleon determined to take his wife to Paris and pre? sent ber to his brother's court, then graced by some of the handsomest women In Europe, Mme. Recamier, the Countess Gulccioll and others. Mr. Patterson, father of Bonaparte's wife, flited out a ship ot his own lor the voyage, and in the fall they sailed. They first touched at Lisbon, and here the painful intelligence awaited them that Napoleon had discountenanced the marriage and had issued a special edict that Mme. Bonaparte, or any one pretending to be such, should not be al? lowed to enter any of the countries over which he held sway. Jerome, confident In 'als ability to appease TBK KUPRROR'S WRATH, sent his wife to Holland, where she could re? side In safety for the lime, and himself hast? ened to the French capital. Upon bis arrival be found the Emperor tn a rage. "Now," Bald Talleyrand, the Prime Mluieter, "you've got yourself In for ii." And, sure enough, he had. The Emperor Indulgea In the moat extrava? gant manileslalloos ol displeasure. Jerome declared lin loved his wire; me Emperor laughed at bis youthful folly. He told his stern brother that she WHS young and beautiful, and thal she was lils wife. "No matter," said the Emperor. "I decree a divorce." He begged his brother that he be allowed to bring her into bis presence, lhat he might Judge himself ot berrara beauty and brilliant talents. The Emperor sternly refused, aud declared that he had heard enough of her beauty, and that be feared lhat on seeing her he might relent. AN IMPERIAL EDICT WAS ISSUED, declaring the marriage null and void, and Jerome was commanded, on pain of instant punishment, lo break off his connection willi his lawful wile. Irresolute aud mean-spirited to the last de? gree, Jerome, urged by lear and tempted by the offer of a crown, did so, and the woman who Lad followed bim from her friends and native land was thus ruthlessly cast aside, a marriage Immediately contracted with a princess of Wurtemburg, and the faithless Jerome rewarded with the crown ot West? phalia. INFORMED OF HEB HUSBAND'S INFIDELITY she first fairly refused to believe lt. and then Indulged In the wildest reproaches at bia utter lalthlessuess. In order to appease her, If possible, and thinking that she might be flattered by a glittering bauble, her hueband offered her the prlnclp illly ol Wallachia. She Indignantly scorned ibe proposition, and overcome with sorrow and chagrin, retired to privacy at Camberwell, near London, where, on the 7lh of July, 1805, SHE GATE BIRTH TO A SON, whom she named Jerome Napoleon Bona? parte, who afterwards became the father of the present Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, now resident in Ballimore. Mme. Bonaparte re? sided several years in Europe, where ehe formed intimate acquaintances with the most distinguished people of the limes, and was a great favorite In the most exclusive and aris? tocratic society; and she hus often remarked that the only two men ol prominence whom she did not know personally were Napoleon I and Lord Byron, the former ot whom, says Madame, In her bitterest tones, "I did not care to know." While spending this season In Europe she met ber husband, but once only, lt was In Florence, at the PRU Palace, and she seemed very much affected. "lhere," said he to the Princess of Wurtemburg, sor? rowfully, uls MT AMERICAN WIFE !" The next day be left Florence, and she never saw bim again. Soon .alter thia she returned io America and began*- the education of Je? rome Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the only IsBtie ot ber unhappy marriage. He grad? uated at Harvard with distinction, in 1826, and tor a time he studied law. At an early age he abandoned it and married Miss Susan Williams, of Massachusetts, who was a lady of great wealth, which, together with bis own resources, made bim one of the richest men In the country. His mother was much dis Eleased al his marriage, as she bad Bet ber eart on bis getting a princess. He frequent? ly visited Europe, and was on intimate terms with HIS FATHER, THE RULER OF WURTEMBURO, and received from him a handsome allowance. In personal appearance he was said to be al? most an exact counterpart of the First Napo? leon. He died in the summer of 1870, in Bal? timore, leaving two children, the present Col? onel Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who is prob? ably destined io figure soon in the political fortunes of France, and Charles Joseph Bona? parte, at present a law student at Harvard. Madame Bonaparte bad early determined to uphold the claim to ber insue to all emolu? ments which would naturally accrue to him aa THE LEGAL SON OF JEROME, brother of Napoleon I, and to refuse any over? tures which the Emperor might be disposed lo make short of a complete recognition of her claims. The Emperor, therelore, refused to have anything more to do with her, and declared her son illegitimate. Madame Reca? mier told Madame Bonaparte that the Empe? ror had said that "be waa afraid lo meet her face to lace because of her great personal beauty. He was afraid he might relent." Madame Bonaparte tells this story herself with Infinite zest, and all we print In regard to her is lrom her lips. The Pope being applied lo ] to confirm the divorce, pronounced the first I marriage of Jerome Bonaparte legal, much to the displeasure of the First Napoleon, and his child legitimate. On the death of his father, the late Jerome Bonaparte, of Baltimore, brought a suit In France to obtain his share ol his father's estate, and to be declared his suc? cessor, In place of tbe Issue by the Prince of Wurtemburg. Without declaring his right clearly, the court decided the marriage with Miss Patterson legal, and the Issue thereof en? titled to bear the name of Bonaparte. This decision was rendered during the reign of Napoleon III. COLONEL JEROME NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, now living In Ballimore, and the elder Bon ef this Bonaparte, graduated at West Point in 1852, with high honors. He remained but a short time In the United States Army, but re? signed and then entered the French Army by request of his mother, receiving from his cou SID, Louip, theo Emperor, the rank of lieuten? ant. For bis gallant conduct In tbe Crimea he received a Victoria medal from the Queen of England, the order of Megldeafrom th? Sultan of Turkey, crosB of the Legion of Honor irotn his imperial cousin, and the order of Military valor from Victor Emanuel. Colonel Bona parte ls a tall, distinguished looking man, with a military air, long, dark moustache, goalee, and badsome features. HE 19 OP VERY COMMANDING PRESENCE, and bears a striking resemblance to the Bona? parte family. His wife ls the granddaughter of Daniel Webster. Having re'used to break his marriage engagement he angered his grandmother to such a degree that she Imme? diately disinherited bim, aud now doais on the younger grandson. Charles Joseph, who ls now pursuing his studies at Harvard, and gives promises of a brilliant future. Though eighty-eight years of age, Madame Bonaparte retains TRACE8 OF A ONCE WONDROUS BEAUTY. Her complexion ls still smooth and compara? tively fair, while her peculiarly beautiful bine eyes are as yet undimmed. Her nature ls sus? picious and warped by ber many Injuries. She seems in constant dread of some unde? finable injury; never receives visitors In ber room save her most Intimate acquaintances, and ls always on tbe watch lor some fancied Insult. For the past month she has been quite ill, likely to die, so the physician said, at any moment, but on hearing the fact men? tioned by an attendant she straightened her? self up In bed and said emphatically that "SHE WOUXD'NT DIE, and that she intended to live until she was one hundred years old." From that time she began to Improve until within a day or so, when she bas grown worse. She believes that she will yet live lo Bee her grandson on tbe throne ol France. She bad A VERY MEAN OPINION OF THE LATE EMPEROR, probably because ol the fact that he refused to allow her a share In bis uncle Jerome's es? tate, to which, as his widow, she was legally entitled. Madame Bonaparte ls, however, very rich In her own right. Tbe present Je? rome Bonaparte was always a great favorite with ber previous to bis marriage. Bhe made a handsome allowance to bim while In France, lt ls said, and durlog bis sojourn there ehe supplied him liberally with money, as lt was always her ambition to have her grandson live like the nobility. Sbe has at all times watched the political condition of Prance with great interest, and at times'would talk freely of her ambition for her grandson and declare HIS RIGHT TO THE THRONE in case of the death of tbe Emperor and Prince Imperial. Colonel Bonaparte has steadily refrained from making public his views on the situation In France; but lt ls said by his friends that he would not be averse to receiving any distinction which the French people might wish to confer upon him; and, In fact, that he still hopes lor the restoration of tbe empire and the elevation of the Bonaparte family to Its control. He ls personally PO fond of the dead Emperor, the Empresa and their eon, and was suoh a favo? rite with them, that no position inimical to their Interest, however oompllmentarliy of? fered, would be accepted by him. This fact ls so well known by bis friends, that they usually look upon him aj willing to accept A CO HEGEN CT WITH THE EMPRESS during the minority of the Prince Imperial. I will here distinctly reassert that this is but the balicf of his friends and not this declaration. His grandmother takes that view of it very strongly; but in consequence of their personal estrangement has probably no better ground for it than his friends. Colonel Bonaparte is at (his moment on the friendliest footing and pleasantest epistolary intercourse with tbe various members of his family in Europe-notable tbe Empress and Princess alathildo- and it is much more than probable that the opinion of Colonel Bonaparte lias boon sought and nill be followed io the measures to bo taken by Iiis family in conse? quence of the death of the Emperor; and that m tho events ot tue futuro bo will have a con? trolling part. Ho rae all the qualities which endear a ruler to the popular he irt, being strikingly handsome, s.iavo in his manners, a brave and daring aotdier, and possessed of no ordinary intelligence. He is a great favorite lu Franco among those who look for a restora? tion of tho empire. Tbe death of tbe late Napoleon affected Madame Bouaparte strongly, and on the reception of the news sho betrayed emotions which bad long lain donnant. One of ber lady attendants ASKED ZIER IF SHE WAS 60BE?. "No," said tho madame, emphatically, "he' wonldn t recognize my grandson, and I don't caro a bit." On being asked what were her views on the political situation in France, she evinced no marked iuterost, and merely said that, for her? self, sho bad done all she could to secure her grandson's rightful inheritance, and that she could do no more, as she was nearly approach? ing her dual end. She declared the hopo and belief that be would at sume time ascend the throno ot Franoe. Tho ruling passion of this remarkable woman's life hos been to regain HER LOST RIGHTS in behalf of this grandson, and to tbat end abe baB studiously economized, though enormously rich, living in seclusion, that the greater wealth he lives to inherit might add to his chances for tho crown. She often says that this money may be needed for that purpose, and if so, hero it all is. Sho keeps it easily re? alizable, and oould convert it all into cash in thirty da\ s. She lives in thc fourth or fifth story of a boarding-house on the corner of St. Paul and Lexington streets, and has never, uotill very recently, had any companion or nurse. She talks constantly of ber. RELATIONS TO THE FRENCH EMPIRE, and although Bhe is displeased with ber grand-1 son for what she terms "injuring bis own pros? pects for the throno" by marrying an American lady, ehe appears brighter sud-more cheerful since Napoleon's doath than before, and de? clares ber etrong belief of tho success of her grandson to tho throne In the near future.

DIZZY'S LOSS. Hopelessly in Debt and His Rich Wife Gone. [London Correspondence of the New fork Post.] The death is announced this morning of Lady Beaconsfield, the wife of Mr. Benjamin Disraeli. Thereby hangs a tale-io fact, seve? ral of them 1 Let ns see bow they will all look wben strung together. Lady Beaconsfield was eighty-three years of age, and Mr. Disraeli is something liko twenty years younger. Tbe lady had been tbe wife of Wyndham Lewis, a man of immense fortune. Young Disraeli and this Mr, Lewis clubbed to together years ago to represent a oertam double-seated consti? tuency in the House of Commons. There waa the usual division of duties in the new firm; Disraeli furnished tbe brains and the oratory and Lewis tbe money. To exobange positions would bave beeo equally impossible to both. People DOW living remember baying beard Lady Beaconsfield speak disparagingly ot her hus? band's intellectual attainments, and, indeed, of her husband himself, and eulogize Disraeli to the skies. Thie was during tho "bargain and ?ale campaien." Io the oonrae of time Mr. Lewis died, and Mr. Disraeli married the widow in lees than a year after. She married for love and he for monov. The marriage oc? curred in 1839. and by 1849 be had been before the bankruptcy court no fewer than tbree times, ?o was once compelled to flee, but bis wealthy wife came to'the rescue in every instance. Dis? raeli's soUotor waa heard then, and has since been heard to declare that he bad no idea what his cbent did with bis money; no idea bow he could spend it; he did net gamble and there was joly one other channel for his escape, wbtch he confessed the circumstances strongly pointed aa the correct one. Lady Bsacocsfleld bad an immense lortone settled un ber, but it was tor her natural life only, and now rever s to her children by her first marriage. Mr. Dis? raeli fioda . imaelf hopelessly ia deDt. with a pension of five thousand pounds aterling. This pension he acquired in a shrewd way, too. The Tory ministry of 1868 was dissolved m No? vember. Hie colleagues, who were raen of wealth wanted to retire long before, but be procrastinated until he had filled np the ex? act minimum time of service required for a pensiou, and then withdrew. It is reported, aDd probably correctly, that there is no great amount of affeotion existing between Mr. Dis? raeli and the heirn of Lady Beaconsfield, 'this would be quite natural, at the best, if all the circumstances are considered; but it is further said that the hostile feeling bas been aggrava? ted by the action of interested persons in try? ing to persuade Lady Beaconsfield to get ber ' life insured-a proposition she wisely rejected when Bbe considered ber great age and reflect I ed what the premium most be in consequence. NO QUORUM. Both Houses of the Legislatura Adjourn To-Day, [8PK0IA1 TE LE di AJ? TO THE NEWE.] COLUMBIA, Monday, January 20.

Railroad Centre-Cotton in th? Moun? tain Region-Politico, Weather and Taxes. [PBOK OUR OWK CORRESPONDENT.] GKEKNTILLI, January 16. Property here Is changing hands much faster than usual, and ls rising In value. A Canadian settlement le soon to be made. The land Is already purchased, and a portion of tbe colony have come; they are Catholics, and we expect many to follow in their wake. It Is but the beginning of a large Immigration. It ls now settled tbat tbe workshops ol the Air Line Railroad will be located bere. They are looking out for a location, at this time, and proposing to purchase. This will bring a population of from Uve hundred to one thous? and persons; and this, with tbe many settlers from tbe adjoining counties, will soon make us In fact, what we are now only In name, a city. With a direct line of railroad to New Fork on the east, to New Orleans on the west, and Charleston on the south, and an expected one lo Asheville, N. C., on the north, what more could we wish aa to transportation facil? ities ? And then the ollmate, the water power, the superior educational advantages, the col? leges and universities, and the new fact, bit most important to us that, with co m mei cia! f-rillizers, we can plant and raise cotton, ad? vantageously, twenty miles above this, at the very base of tbe Blue Ridge, what Is to pre? vent UK becoming th? Atlanta of the up-ooun try of South Carolina? At the base ot Tame Rock two of our farm? ers, wltb commercial fertilizers, raised colton to great advantage-one three bags and the other four. All operations in the fanning community have now ceased, and lt will be difficult to supply the demand this spring. Old worn ont lands are, with the fertilizer?, considered equal in valne to bottom lands. A great revolution has ihus taken place in tbe agricultural prospects of the Slate, and none need move out of this State to lind the bett bottom lands. The new Republican paper, to be published here, will be out In a week or two. It will be highly conservative-Republican and not Rad? ical-and a gentleman wno bas been Invited to edit lt, and has lt under consideration, ls a man of perfectly Southern sentiments and lo the manor born. The popular feeling here ls for the abolition of party lines. The most sensible men think that the Democratic organization ls like hoops that bind up a carrel, which would! tall to pieces If let alone; that outward pressure la ibe source of Its conservation, and that If the Democrats would not oppose them they would divide Into many bolling parties and loee their power. The weather bere Is like spring, and the business of the place ls like Christmas times there is such a crowd of wagons coming and going. There ls also muco money In the country, and the bank here ls getting macy deposits. Taxes are paid oheeriuily. Oar tax in this county ls Alleen mills for legisla Uve or 81 ate assessment, three mills for Air Line Rall Road bonds, making eighteen milla, and then the city tax. say seven mill?, will make twenty-Qve milla; so yon see taxes are like rivers, always getting larger.
