THE BONAPARTE FAMILY SUIT.
Judgment was dtlivcred by tho tribunal of
the Seine iu tbe Bjnaparte-P.nteraon case on
Friday, February 15. The Court declared that
as the object cf the demand made by Madame
Elisabeth Pulterson and Jerome Bonaparte, her
son, was the liquidation und the divi-ion of the
succession of the Prince Jerome, who died on
the 24th ot June, 18(10; mid, inasmuch rn
among the grounds oi opposition to the demand
is one that tbe claim has bceu already judged
by two decisions of theroiiseif c!aauii,iaicil
tbe 4th of Jnlv, 1850, aud thu 7th ul' July, 18G0,
which proclaimed the nullity of thu marriage
of the 24th ot December, lb03, and its inval
idity even as regards property, the Court added :
''It is expedteut above all to exumine the
validity ol'this ground of opposition, inasmuch
ns if, it be well founded, it would establish a
peremptory exception to the present demand,
and It would no longer belong to the tribunal
to examine the other grounds of opposition, or
to decide whether the marriage is not null for
having been contracted in a clandestine man
ner, ur whether Mine. Pattctson could rely on
her good faith in the legal acceptation ot the
term, or what efficacy should be attributed to
the decrees of the 11th and 30th Vtuloso of the
year 13 ; and, in tine, whether the possession of
a position claimed by the parties represented by
M. Borryer does not meet an energetic, ince
santrnna manifest contradiction in the simple
fuctof the teebnd marriage contracted in 1807
by Pride JeTbmo and tho Princess Cathariue,
of Wnrtembcrg, on the faith of tbe legal nou
existence of the first marriage; and whether,
consequently, the title of relative given to Jer
ome Patterson be according to the habitual re
lations of life, particularly wheu it must bo rec
ollected that, to admit a clear light by blood,
would, on the part of the children born of the
second marriage, he a denial of tbeir own legit
imacy.'' The Court then referred to the 1,350th and
l,3Jlst articles of the Code Kapolton, and hav
ing recapitulated nil the (acts of the caso as
stated by counsel, it declared that the demands
of Madame Elizabeth Patterson mid her son,
Jerome Bonaparte, nro not admissible, and
must be rejected, and ordered that the present
judgment shall be mentioned on tho margin of
tbe aeea aatca me I'Jin oi iuiy, iouu, contain
ing a declaration of tho acceptance by Jerome
Bonaparte of the succession of Princo Jerome.
The Court further sentenced the claimants to
pay tb.e costs.
WHO IS RESPECTABLE?
By the law of Maryland, negroes are not al
lowed to assemble without some "respectable
white person " is present, duly authorized. A
religious meeting was held by the negroes un
der the direction of a person who voted for Mr.
Lincoln for President. The State's attorney,
Mr. Bouic, contended that n man who had
voted for Mr. Lincoln was not a respectable
person, within the meaning of tbe law. After
Mr. B. had concluded, Judge Brewer delivered
the opiuiou of the court, mid commented very
severely upon the conduct of Mr. Bouic, eajing
that he had practiced law and presided on the
bench lor more than thirty j ears, and it was
tho first time m his experience that any lawyer
had attempted to test tho respectability of u
person by bis politics. Il this puiitiuu was bus
tained, ho taw no reason why a man's religion
should not also be made tho testol his respect
ability, and be hoped it would be thu last time
that any lawyer would raise the point.
Tho Judge's remarks wero so pointed and se
vere, that Mr. Bouic was said to have turned
pale. I learn that several owners of slaves
who were present upproved tho Judge's re
marks, and eoudemued the conduct of Mr.
Bouiv as calculated to injure the cause he pre
tended to sustain.
It wai luetevrr'st rebuke I ever heard from
the Bench, fti.il uue, I duubt nut, Mr. Bouic will
remember during tbe remainder ot his profes
sional lite, aud may serve pihups to modify
his iuteuso slavery views, at lt-ast in the prac
tice of the law. It may therefore be suupo-ed
to be settled, that a man who votid fur Mr,
Lincoln is nrespectublu cit'Zin in the Hint ol
Mart lard. Ucsrtcr-ULiTv.

THE INAUGURAL.
Copies' of tho Inaugural address, in pamphlet
form, can be had at this office. Price, fifty
cents per hundred.
jeST" Tho only confirmations by the Senate
to-day wero those of Mr. Dole, to be Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs, and Archibald Wil
liams, as District Judge for Kansas.
Among the nominations were those of the
Hon. Thomas Corwiu, ns Minister to Mexico,
mid Captain Cassius M. Clay, as Minister to
Spain. These were referred to the appropriate
committees.
SS" Inquiry nt the proper source warrants
the assertion that no order has as yet been is
sued in relation to the question of withdrawing
the troops from Fort Sumter.
Oaf About sixty army officers, in full uni
form, met at tho War Department to day, and,
in company with Lieufenant General Scott and
the Secretary of War, proceeded to the White
House, where they paid their respects to the
President of the United States.
Iu addition to so largo a Lumber of army
officers, it is also noticeable that there are also
twelve captains in the navy here, sitting as a
court, lor the trial of Captain Armstrong. They
are tbe oldest and most experienced, and at their
head is the veuerable and popular Commodore
Stewart.
We record with great satisfaction the ap
pointment of Archibald Willi tins, of Illinois, as
District Judge of Kansas. Mr. Williams is one
of the ablest lawyers of his State, and a sound,
clear headed, honest and reliable man. We
have every confidence that justice will be ably
mid impartially administered ill the Federal
court of the new State, to whose people the
change in this respect will be most welcome
" The Secretory of the Treasury, it is said,
finds no difficulty in negotiating as much of
ih" tiltecn million loan at p.ir as is needed at
present."
So says the telegraph, in regard to the oper
ations of the Government of the Confederate
States at Montgomery. " We apprehend that if
the new loan is so successful, it is simply be
cause so little " is needed at present." Per
haps some benevolent individual has contribu
ted a few dollars to pay the board of the offi
cial), and accepted therefor, instead of a vote
of thanks, Government securities, if they can
be called such, as a matter of courtesy. The
idea that the loan stands at par as a regular
moneyed investment, is preposterous. Tbe
whole thing, Government and all, is a paper
concern, nnd pretty bad paper at that. The
promise to pay those who embark either in the
Government or the loan, will not in either
ease be redeemed ; and we can hardly tell
which will prove the lenst'losing investment.
Titc District ArroiSTMCSis. There are a
few Federal offices in this District of a strict
ly local character, which havo always been
filled by the citizens of the District. We pre.
sumo this usage will not be departed from by
the present Administration. We understand
that a few interested parties nro endeavoring to
create the impression in certain quarters that
tbe selection of Republicans to fill these offices
would prove unsatisfactory to the great body of
our citizens. We know that such is not tho
case. Wo know the sentiment to be a very
general ono in this city, that tho Republicans
of th'i3 District aro as much entitled to the lo
cal appointments, as are tho members of the
successful purty in any other city or locality.
Aud why should they uot be ? The Republi
can party of the District embraces nearly, if
not quite, as largo a proportion of our perma
nent citizens, as any other political organiza
tion in our midst. The party has been increas
ing very rapidly of late, and its exact numeri
cal strength is not known. We think, however,
that we hazard nothing in saying, that tbe Re
publican party of this city is quite as strong,
in proportion to the. entire, population, as tho
Republican party of the city of New York.
We have never heard it claimed that the Fed
eral offices in the last named city should be
given to our political opponents, in deference
to local public sentiment. And yet, there are
just as strong reasons for applying such a rule
there as here.
There is no doubt of the fact, that the gen
eral sentiment among our political opponents
iu this District, who are not themselves seeking
offices, is, that the Republicans are entitled to
the local appointments. This has been expect
ed, aud no considerable number of our citizens
ever thought of complaining about it.

CONFLICT OFALLEOIANCE.
In a chargo recently delivered lo the grand
jury of Morgan county, Georgia, Judge Harris
said, among olhor thing!:
" Our Government it now permanent, stable,
and fixed, and it is the duty of all good citizen
to maintain and support it. There must be no
looking back, no working for a reconstruction,
for in the nature of things this could not be.
Men who reside among us must work for us,
and with us. If they take any part, directly or
indirectly, against us, it is plotting treason, and
they must suffer the consequences. Incendia
ries and incendiarism must be crashed out."
A Union man of one of tho Confederated
States, who does not rccoguise the right of se
cession, and who consequently believes that he
iststill a citi7en of the United States, must be
sorely puzzled in reconciling the conflicting
claims to his allegiance, lie is really under
three Governments State, Confederate, and
United States. Two of these are concurrent,
but they both conflict with the third. Now, it
is pretty evident, from the charge of Judge Har
ris, and other indications of public sentiment,
that no difTerenco of opinion upon this subject
is likely to bo tolorated ; the advocacy of the
Union will be "incendiary," aud "working for
a reconstruction " rank " treason." It would be,
however, very easy to do indirectly that in ref
erence to which direct action would be treason
able A disaffected citizen of one of the Con
federate States could advocate the secession of
his own State from the new Confederacy, nnd,
when this was accomplished, then argue a re
turn to the old Union.
This doctrine of "peaceable secession" will
be almost sure to return to plague the inventors
of it, and it makes their present Government a
mere rope of saud. In all other respects, it has
not ore element of stability or strength. Origin
ated by political gamblers, in revenge for loss
of power, and under tbe sway of a mad ambi
tion, and adopted by a frenzied mob, it is a
manifest political abortion. It had its birth in
no calm and deliberate judgment of tho peo
ple ; it was called into being by no great na
tional exigency, as tho result of an universal
uprising from intolerable oppression. There
was not the slightest need of it ; it had no mis
sion. It has worked no change in the political
condition of the citizens of those States, except
to transfer their allegiance from Washington to
Montgomery. It has not advanced a single
material interest; and the only way they will
know the difference between their present and
former Government will bo by the vastly in
creased burden of taxation. Born of a mere
popular impulse, when the impulse dies out, the
Government dies with it. It has the sympathies
of no other people on the face of the earth. It
is utterly without resources and without credit,
and could not negotiate a dollar of its loan iu
any stock market of Europe. There aro almost
insuperable difficulties in the way of the adop
tion of any system of taxation, and the resort
to voluntary contributions and forced loans
must be in its nature a mere temporary expe
dient. Wo can see, then, nothing in tho moral
sentiment iu which it had its origin, in the po
litical changes it effects, or iu the material ben
efits it confers, which gives the least promise of
its permanence.
Already the murmurs of diisatisfaction begin
to be heard in the Confederate States, as the
charge of Judge Harris is a significant indication-
The cost of revolution is beginuing to be
counted, and in the secret heart of the people,
if not openly, the question arises, whether it is
worth all the vast expenditure of money which
has been made, and to incur the danger of civil
war, merely for tbo gratification of calling Jef
ferson Davis President, rather than Abraham
Lincoln. Let time bo given fur the subsidence
of passion, the return of cool reflection, and for
the ripening of the fruit of experience, and the
work of preservation of the American Union
may be safely left to the people of tho South
itself. "

" Two of tho three Commissioners appointed
by the Southern Confederacy, to treat with the
Federal Government, are now in this city. The
third, Mr. Roman, of Louisiana, according to
the New Orleans True Delta, has declined to
accept, having become utterly disgusted with
tho whole disunion experiment; and one of
thoso now here is reported to havo admitted,
since his arrival, that he and his friends have
made u grand mistake."
TriE New Secketauy or tiik Treasury.
We venture to say, that a brief term in the
Cabinet will work a revolution of feeling
with respect to Mr. Chase, and that many of
the prejudices which are now entertained to
wards him will disappear. Mr. Chase served
two terms as Governor of this State, and made
one of the ablest, most efficient, and popular
Governors Ohio ever had.
This his bitterest enemies will concede. The
charge of radicalism against him, as far at
least ns its present application is concerned,
we know to bo unjust. Whatever radical views
ho may have formerly possessed, time and ex
perience have softened down, and in tho prac
tical administration of the Government, we
have no fears in predicting that, like Mr. Sew
ard, he will bo found emineutly uatioual and
conservative, while his admirable qualities for
a leading position on the Blip of Stute, during
the perilous storm which she is now weather
ing, will very soon manifest themselves. Cin
