Smith, has been taking a hand, and, it seems, with telling effect, from what the Xnquirer says of him, in the Ohio cam pasge. At the opening of the Demo sratio campaign in Cincinnati he was among the orators of the occasion, and the Enquirer, after giving a synopsis of his remarks, says: The Judgespo-for some-time n thisd vein, and then painted in a most telling manner the sufferings of the country occasioned by Re publican misrule. He was frequently inter rupted by applause, and the huzzas that greted him at the close demonstrated that he ehad captivated the hearts of his auditors. To the tinkling of wedding bells and the joyous heart-pulsations of hundreds of friends in Louisville, on the 5th day of September, our rising artistic genius, Marshall J. Smith, Jr., was the happy recipient of a prize greater than the Cross of the Legion of Honor in his wedlock to a lady as intellectual as she Is beautiful, Miss Bettle P. Belknap, of our city. That congratulations followed, and that the happy pair received the appreciated testimonials worth always merits, we need not say. We tender our I warmest devoirs. The exigencies of the Ohio campaign have proven too much for that modicum of civil service reform intrusted to Mo Orary, the War Office, and he has au thorised the formal announcement of a new interpretation of the President's ' order with reference to contributions to political funds, so far as it relates to his department. He says in an official, and therefore ominous, way that voluntary subscriptions on the part of clerks will f not be regarded as in violation of the I order. We have no hesitation in prophe- C eying that this delicate intimation will C be productive of an exuberant and en- I thusiastic disposition to subscribe to I campaign funds on the part of cautious I and far-seeing clerks that was never witnessed before. Conkllng's man.Cornell, the Naval Officer of the Port of New York in spite pf his Excellency's civil service order, has come in with a bid for continuance in offoie in the shape of an economy of $8000 under the recommendation of the Jay Commission of $120,000 for current expenses of his office. This is offered as an oftset to the conclusion of the Cabinet that it is to the interest of the service that all of the Federal appoint ments be changed at New York, and was submitted ia a letter to Sherman suggesting changes in the Naval office which would out expenses down to $111,000, and without even touching his (Cornell's) salary. Perhaps Cornell was enoouraged in the belief that this sug gestion would counteract his diedbedi ence and contumacy in refusing to re sign the chairmanship of the Republi ean State Committee by the declara tion, on the part of the Cabinet, that although the good of the service required a sweeping change, that this would not be enforced till Congress met. However this may be, people are very fast losing confi dence in a civil service reform which allows Cornell to retain his position of chairman of a party committee till after a campaign is over, in open opposition to an imperative order which has been enunciated as an arbitrary rule of the service. For the Cabinetto say that the removal of all the customs officers at New York, incidentally including Cor aell, but that this shball be done only after the meeting of Congress, is an evasion and a concesgion too palpable for discussion. A rule, positive and universal, has been laid down, and if such conspicuous violations of it as that of Cornell's are to be tolerated the only conclusion that is permitted to the people is that it was never meant to Shpply to any one whose party work or influence was of any considerable value.

President MaoMahon's manifesto to the French people on the eve of their popular election for deputies is appar ently a very fair and oonservative state ment of the condition of affairs which has resulted from his administration, and the facts which induced him to dis solve the last Chamber of Deputies. In the beginning he attributes the recuper ation of the country from the disasters of the war and his cordial relations with the rest of Europe to his own personal influence. This is an egoism that can be understood and looked upon without apprehension and resentment only among such Republicans as those of France-earnest and hopeful Republi cans, doubtless, with whose every aspi ration we deeply sympathize, but yet men so long accustomed to such expressions and self-assumptions on the part of their leaders as to see in them nothing unusual or sug gestive of peril. He enumerates the benefits that have accrued from his administration, and they are just such as may prosper as well, if not better, under a personal government as a re public. He alludes to the financial and physical recuperation of France, under unwonted burdens, from the effects of the war, and dwells with peculiar gratu lation on the peace and public order at home, which are due "to the policy of concord which brought around him men devoted, before all things, to their coun try." Devotion to country is one of those splendid phrases that have been used in every age and by every bad as well as noble -ambition as a- justifieation of persecution and wrong, and in its name as many crimes have been com mitted as ever were in those of freedom or religion. The prosecution of Guam betta and Murat was, doubtless instig ated by this same "devotion to coun try," and is justified on that score. Love of country is a grand and noble sentiment, one of the holiest that in spires individual heroism and sacrifice, and there are no people on God's earth that are more deeply imbued with it, or who yield themselves with a more utter abandonment to its generous and heroic impulses than the French, and among Frenchmen we doubt if there be one who is truer to its dictates than this old marshal of the empire, and President of the republic. But there is a higher de votion than this, the love of liberty, which knows no confines and is bound ed by no lines of conquest or limits of States. It is broad and universal as the common air, an aspiration that all people may entertain, and all rulers must respect. This aspiration the French have not less than other people, but they have never yet shown them selves capable of understanding its na ture or appreciating its benefits, and for this reason we are not dis posed to disparage either the sincerity or wisdom of MacMahon in the course of rigid and stern enforce ment of constituted authority which has marked his administration. We are dis posed, rather, to believe he understanas the people he has been called upon to rule, and that, inspired by "devotion to country," he has done the very best he knew how for the good and happiness of France. There is evidently among the people no wide-spread and firmly rooted popular sentiment that would sustain a republic a twelve-month, and in this conviction, which we attribute to MacMahon, there is every justification of his course. Without such a sturdy and resolute sentiment among the masses it must be plain that it would but result in anarchy and national mis ery and crime to yield to the clamors of the radicals, who would again bring to France another of those debauches wherein license-wild, lawless, cruel and ungovernable-was called liberty and substituted as such in the place of law and order. The spirit or republicanism dwells with "Freedom on her mountain heights," and those who would woo and win her must climb long and patiently, and learn to breathe the atmosphere in which she lives. It is related that when Henry Meiggs, the great South Ameri can railroad contractor, undertook to build the road across the Andes, he found that he could employ no labor save that of the Indians who dwelt high up on the mountain sides. In the rari fed atmosphere of those great altitudes the dwellers in the plains below sank exhausted with the slightest exertion, and became utterly incapable of any continuous or arduous work. So it is with the French; before they can ever realize a republic they must rise to a higher plane and learn to breathe a different atmosphere, morally and men tally, from that to which they have been accustomed under the monarchy and the empire. Until they give some evidence stronger than any we have yet seen of such a change of their national constitution, MacMahop can but be admired and applauded for the stern and resolute determination he evinced when he said : As for myself, my duty would increase with the danger. I could not obey the man ner of the demagogues. I could neither be come the instrument of radicalism, nor abandon the post in which the constitution has placed me. I shall remain to defend con servative interests, with support of the Senate, and shall energetically protect the faithful public servants who, at a difllcult moment, have not allowed themselves to be intimidated by vain threats.

WAY COMPANY * Have removed their office to the commodious ground floor of the building No. 159 Common street, formerly occupied by the New Orleans Gaslight Company. In making this announcement they desire to express their thanks to those of their fellow citizens who have thus far extended their aid to this great enterprise, while again appealing to the entire community to promptly come for ward and subscribe in accordance with their means, in order to e)able the directory to push with renewed vigor the work already so far ac com plished to completion, Every facility will be given, on appliation at the office, to Impart the information required to convince every one that the success of the road is assured as soon as the sum of $675,000 is reached, either in subscriptions to the first mortgage bonds or to the stock of the company. In order to place their securities within reach of all classes of our people, the company have issued scrip limited in amount to S50,00o, and made receivable either for stock when presented in sums of $100oo, or for freight or passage on completion of the road. This scrip is divided into notes of $50, I20, $10 and $5, transferable by bearer, thus enabling all to aid this immeasur ably important work, the success of which will largely redound to the interests of every man, woman and child in this city. With regard to the first mortgage bonds, no one can doubt their being a first class invest ment, apart from the collateral advantages which will be derived by the residents of this city; and that they will be so regarded by our moneyed institutions the company refer to a recommendation made a short time since by the presidents of nearly all our banks and In surance companies of the second mortgage 7 per cent bonds of the company, when such an issue was contemplated. To show the confidence felt by those institu tions in the proposed road, their officers recom mend the second mortgage bonds of the New Orleans Pacific Railway Company as a "first class 7 per cent per annum interest paying investment." and say "they will be received by their several institutions as security for loans with as much readiness as any other 7 per sent security of the State of Louisiana: they un hesitatingly commend those bonds for invest ment." With this Inducement supplemented by the assurances that the company can obtain q11 else necessary to place the entire road in working order when this seemingly small sum shall have been provided for, and further, that in stead of second mortgage, first mortgage 6 per cent bonds are substituted, can any citizen, who really desires the prosperity of this city, which has been so long retarded by the simple want of proper communication with the almost inex haustible resources of Texas, Arkansas and Northern Louisiana fail to respond promptly to this appeal ?
