G?L?WBI?; WiPP r_- ' ' '_Lj ... Thur oday Morning, September 8,1870. Tho Pedi or Napoleon XII? This great event, startling and unex? pected, of course, provokes much com? ment. As usual, the misfortunes of the man bring out in bold relief whatever of weakness bis character presents, and throw in the shade whatever of greatness he has illustrated. We cannot concur in the disparaging criticisms that are in? dulged in by some of our ootemporaries. Whatever nationality or passion or pre? judice may now suggest, it will bo im? possible for impartial HISTORY to treat with scorn or levity tho name and tho services of the late ruler of Franco-of ?10,000,001) of a bravo aud intelligent and liberty-loving race. That Louis Napo? leon had weaknesses and committed errors, no ono will deny. But whut ruler has not shown himself moro or less lia? ble to the same critioism? The question is, how, in the main, has he borne him? self and in what proportion stand his successes to his errors? Ono of our co temporaries rom arks that "tho uephew of his unolo is disgraced, dishonored, and dethroned." Dethroned he oertaiuly is, but not, do we see, does it follow that ho is "dis? graced and dl'ahonored." Jjet us review his career-briefly and partly though it be. In 1850, he was elected President of the Republic of Franco by a largo majority. 3?his was a popular endorse? ment. It is .true, that rfyo eau not ap? prove tho arbitrary method by whioh he made tho Republic give way to the Em? pire. But it is also true, that after tho Empire was proclaimed, the French peo? ple, with universal suffrage, by a large majority, sustained a plebiscitum, recog? nizing the Imperial dynasty. Ho made mistakes and committed political of? fences, but these mistakes and theso offences were not greater than what other rulers have committed. The New York World, on this point, says: "Those mistakes of his reign, which eau be clearly traced to errors of judgment on bis own part, may easily be paralleled alike as to number and as to magnitude in the career of any ono of the very most illustrious among the rulers of man? kind. His greatest political blunders have not been greater than those of the first Napoleon; his military misadvent? ures have been much lesa numerous, aud it is still pr?mature to pronouuee them more disastrous to bis people, thau those of the groat Frederic. The manner of his advent to power, how?vor bitterly it may be denounced, was a loss flagrant outrage upon tho principles of liberty and sound goyernmunt than the steps by whioh Oro.mweU'seized the dictatorship of England, ot Ciesar the helm of the Roman State. The wars upon which ho bas entered have been undertaken in no such .flit' contempt of the recognized modern .standards of international right, os the armed adventurers of his now successful antagonist, Count Bismarck. Even in that enterprise of his reigu, which bas most drawn down upon him the hostility of Americans, it should bo easy for temperate and considerate men, viewing him now as a character in his? tory, not as a power in politics, to admit that there was an element of Quixotic interest in a decrepit race and a dying nationality, not the less creditable to his generous instincts as a man, that it was neither judicious nor practical on his part as a ruler. The liberation and re? constitution of Italy was his work. To bis action in tho Crimean war, moro than to any one other extrinsic cause, Germany herself is indebted for her emancipation from that overshadowing domination of the Russian Czarism under which the events of 1815 loft her blighted and powerless, aud which was made darker and more chilling thau ever by the failure of her ill-combiued and ill-considered efforts nt revolution iu 1848. Within the limits of tho French Empire an enormous development of material prosperity, in the main judici? ously fostered and profitably directed, wfi? be carried by impartial history very largely to the credit of the imperial in? telligence which insisted, in thc face of the traditions and tho prejudices of tho French people, npon the authority of great economic laws." Napoleon the III, in spite of his sud? den fall, must stand on tho pages of his? tory as a great mau, and a ruler that had at heart the interests of his people. For twenty years, ho gave to Franco a atablo goverment and the blessings of peace and internal development. Ho was a liberal and progressive ruler. Ho im? pressed himself upon Europa and the civilized world. Contemptuously styled aporreen?, and reluctantly recognized bi? llie crowned heads of Europe, ho com? pelled a recognition of his sovereign claims, and in making himself felt and respected for his abilities and successor, he caused Franco to take her place as a first class European powor. And know? ing the French people as we kuow them, who will say that ho did not give as much liberty as was consistent with law and ordorf His Democracy, it is true, was an Imperial Democracy, but no ruler in Europe approached nearer to tho spirit of the substance of Democracy thau did tho late ruler of France. And what was his conduct in the last days of his twenty years' reign? When h?d?r the pr?ssur? of local ?ir oumstances, not perhaps yet appreciated, he declared war, ho placod himself with his troops'and no doubt did all in bis power to maintain tho arma of Franco. It may bo that his military abilities Were poor-wo baliovo they are. But no one can doubt, that, as a ruler, ho exhibited a skill, a foresight, a varied capacity and an enlightened spirit, that places him in tho ranks of tho great mou of his day and generation. Without great talents, no ono could have filled, ns Napoleon III bas done, tho most conspicuous po? sition in tho civilized world. Nor can it bo denied, that, as an Emperor, bo eud ed his earner with dignity. He did Dot seek safety in flight. Ho did not leave, as tho First Napoleon did, ou a memora? ble occasion, bis beaton troops. But when bo saw tho great disaster that tho overwhelming army of his foes was lo briug upon France, ns if socking to break tho force of tho blow that was to fall upon his beloved country, lie step? ped promptly forward, and ncceptiug the personal humiliation so wounding to bis hopes aud his pride an mau, Empe? ror, father, and husband, he laid down his sword at tho feet of his kingly foo. He thus, in offeot, said to tho Prussiau King, "if you moko war upon the Impe? rial dynasty, take my sword, and let Franco bo spared. " Whilst, then, wo ac? knowledge the foot that tho star of Na? poleon the III has gone down forever "amid the hills and woods of tho Ar? gon nos," let no mau meanly mock him iu the hour of bis calamity, but render? ing unto Cosar the things that aro Ce? sar's, let us do justice to those eminent abilities and that rare tact that enabled Napoleou tho III to bo a successful ruler of a great people for twenty years. Tho moral of Napoleon's fall is thus stated by tho New York World: "And these things bring us to the moral of his fall. For if a mau so mueh more highly cudowed, and iu tho main so much moro nobly moved, uot only than most princes boru in tho purple, but thnu a decidod majority of tho elect? ed chiefs of men, could not moko Cmsar ism a success in such a country as France, what man iu what country can ever do so? The surreuder of the third Napoleou, we repeat, then, is tho sur? render not of tho man but of tho system. It is a surrender in which all tho world, therefore, may rejoice, save, perchauce, tho very monarch who receives it. Tho cry which went up ia so mo parts of Europo, yesterday, hailing a new Empe? ror of Germany in tho stead of tho fall? ing Emperor of tho Fronch, will be a cry of evil omen to victorious Germany if it bo heard and answered by her. Not in this caso will it be true, ns of tho an? cient Scythians it was fabled to be, that the strength of tho vanquished passes into tho victor. The tragedy of Sedan only repeats that elder lesson of Fon tuiuebleau which the vanquished of Sedan would not learn or hoed. Lot us hope, for tho sake of Germany, of Europo, and of tho world, that, if tho victor of Sedan prove uo wiser, the great pooplo, nt least, whom to-day ho holds in tho hollow of his hand, may uot be drugged by triumph into sharing his unwisdom." < ? ? ? Thc Prussian Military System-Tile De? nian ot Voti Mol eke.. Tho admirable military system ol Prussia has been fully illustrated in thc present war with Frauce. This system was first brought to tho notice of thc world in tho war with Austria. It took a few weoks only for Prussia to humble tho pride of Austria as at Sadowa. In about tho same time Franco has been used up. War was declared hy the French Chambers ou July tho 15th. Il was on September 2-that is in about sis weeks' time-that Franco found bei Sadowa at Sedan. Now, Sadowa and Sedan stand proud memorials of Prus? sia's power and prowess, and Prussia passes iu in il i buy pre-eminence beyond Austria and Frunce to tako her place as the leading power of Europe. Prussia's military system consist? in making every citizeu a sol? dier, iu making the country a camp und in writing muscle und mind. Her tactics consist in promptly organizing and throwing upou the foes vast bodies of well-drilled and highly-disciplined troops. Tho French have doubtlosi fought grandly aud loyally, but outnum? bered aud outgeneraled, their valor hat not been able to save them from crush ing defeats, lt is said that Moltko'f genius wou Sadowa for Austria. If it ii tho sumo geuius that has moved thi Germau columns until they pounce Bazaine in Mot/, and closed aroma McMahon iu a circle of iiro at Sedan then has it been clearly demonstrated that this coutury has realized iu VO? MOI.TKK ono of tho most brilliant ant profound strategists that tho annals o war show. With mathematical preci sion, tho vast armies of Germany have moved steadily on, ns if directed by om muster miud-no pauses-no errors uo failures.

That the fire nt frame building, few feet North of Nengle's Hall, (whic occurred Saturday evening, August 20, was evidently the work of au incendiar or incendiaries, us the evidence c Messrs.

Alderman Wallace, from Special Com? mittee' appointed to revise city ordi? nances, presented sundry ordinances, which were read by their title, and fur? ther consideration postponed until next meeting. > Alderman Wallace presented the fol? lowing petition, signed by 351 citizens: COLUMBIA, S. C., August 26, 1870. The undersigned, tax-paying citizens of Columbia, of all political porties, here? by earnestly protest against tho contract for water supply for the city, entered into botweeu tho Council and the repre? sentative of Mr. S prague, aud strenu? ously urge that it be at once rescinded, for tho following reasons: 1. Because the citizens of Columbia are altogether opposed to tho said con? tract, ns unnecessarily raising tho already heavy taxes. 2. Because it is usual iu enterprises of such magnitude, in which every citizen is deeply interested, for Council to take tho sense of tho community, which in this case was not done. 3. Because the terras of the contract nre altogether in favor of Mr. Spraguo and unjust to the city. 1. Because publication .should have been made, ami tho contract been let to the lowest bidder, if a further supply of water was deemed necessary for the city. 5. Because the coutract vests in Mr. Spragne, for twenty years, tho present water works, engines, fixtures, pipes, etc., erected at a cost of $100,000, or more, if the city fails to pay the sum of ?1,000 quarterly-a consideration so difficult to fulfill-tho result will proba bably bo that by default, every part of the property will revert to Mr. Spraguo, aud the city of Columbia will drink their water at his prices. On motion of Alderman Miuort, the petition was received as information. Alderman Wallace introduced tho fol? lowing resolution: Resolved, That a coutract involving tho expenditure of so large a sum ol' mouey, to bo paid by tho people of this city, as is contemplated in that recently entered into between the City Couucil and S.
