The Duke of Oramont Replies to Prince Napoleon's
Story of the yvents of 1T1'0.
A SKILFUL PARItY OF PL.ON PLONS MA
LICIOUS CltARGE THIAT "TJIE CIIUICtI"
COST FRANCE ALSACE AND LORRAIN4E.
The article of Prince Napoleon in the
2evue des L'eur Alondlc, dealino with the'
secret treaty negotiations, in 1869-70, be
tween France, Austri.t and Italy, and
ascribing the loss of Aleace' and Lorraine
to the Clerica!s, lias not only provoked
much discnssion in Europe, but has induced
the publication in the Rerte de France of a
reply signed by "Andreas Memor." Its
author, we are ilnformed, is "tihe statesman
who had the most accurate knowledge of
the diplomatic negotiations of that epoch,
and who was mcst directly corcerued in
them"-the Duke of Graimont, Napoleon's
Foreign Minister, of course, berng the per
son. The general propi Pitions of the Duke
are that Prince Napoleon talslely imputes to
the Church the loss of Alsace atd L rraine;
that the Empire had no firm alliances when
it declartd war in 1870, aLd that if it did
not succeed in making such alliances after
the war broke out it was not because of
Napoleon's scruples about-giving up FRme
to Italy, but because of the rapidity with
which the Germans' crushing blows fell
on an ill prepared and badly led army.
The Duke takes no exception to the P'tin
c-o verselo u Lohu uo ite of IG[1.
The King of Italy had at the last moment in
elsted on the evacuation of the papal terri
tory, but the Emperor did r.t think that
the state of Italy then waas suh as to afford
a sufficient guarantee for the faithfal exo
cation of the pledges of the convention of
1864 against the revolutionary party, and
though the Cabinet at Florence made "let
ting go of the Pope" a sine quit non of the
alliance and Count von IBeust ielded his
consent to Italy's demands, Napoleon stood
.. ..ta ..nd the tr ...t.y wa ..n t in.... "W .t
ever was the Fleuch (Go.veruiment's desire
to conclcdi a tre..ty so favorable to its in
terests, it would never buly it at such a
price." "In the second week ofJuly, 1770,"
says the Duke, "the Emperor did not have
to take up again the pouirprlers of Ibi61 ;
Austria and Italy themsalves brought onu
the negotiations." France's only placti
cable course was to recall the brigade of
occupation from the pontifical territory
and, entering into an alliance with Italy,
to demand of the latter moral and political
assurances, the sincerity of which would
have been guaranteed by the alliance itself.
This the pontifical Government understood,
and the Italian Government being friendly
Napoleon ordered the evacuation, confid
Jtng the papacy to Victor Emmanuel's
honor and loyalty in a personal letter.
This placed the Pope under the King's
protection, a fact which the Italian Minis.
try resented somewhat as a sort of reflec
tion on itself. So Victor Emmanuel wrote
to Napoleon July 1, and it was arranged
that this correspondence should not be
Smentioned, but that an official exchange of
despatches that could be laid before the
Italian Parliament should take place be
tween the cabinets of Florence and Paris,
and that the two governments should re
turn to the convention of September, 1864.
The cabinets were even to revise the
drafts of each other's notes, so complete
was the understanding.
-Negotiations were now begun between
Austria, Italy and France, the official char
adter of the Austrian plenipotentiaries,
Prince Metternich and Count Vitzhum, bi
lug manifest, while Victor Emmanuel's an
tograph letter authorized Count de Vinier
oar to peak for 0 n7im. Ti e treaty pro
posed :n 186!) was to be signed, and as Ger
''an- v could not be expected to refer mat
ters to a congress it was decided, on the
3Antrlans' proposition, that Austria and
•Italy should summon Prussia to agree to
maintain in Germuany the stietu quo on the
integral bases of the treaty of Prague. To
this Bismarck would inevitably return a
refusal. Then Italy and Austria would
make public their alliance and join France.
Italy agreed to put G0,000 men in the field I
at once and 40 t10 more within a few weeks,
this force to advance through the Austrian
Tyrol on Bavaria and occupy Munich,
while the Austrian forces were to be ready
in September and to take up their position
in Bohemia. These preliminaries being
settled, Vitzthum and Vimercati left for
Vienna and Florence to set the machinery
in action.
Up to this time the agreement about
Rome was that the French should evacuate
it on the basis of the convention of Sep
tember, It6I, involving its protection by
Victor Emtmantuel. One. of the Italian
sovereign's aids, General Tutr, GUaribaldi's
HUnganiai associate, happened to be at
Paris and took, not as yet clearly delined,
some part in tile iecret negotiations. lis
participa:ition was not regatrded by tb in
perial Govern itmeit with particular pleas
ure. On thie ltli lie i'tt 'aris, and tl.ten
for the litle tIu0 callllte thet, uggestiona L isat
France shunli conicede to Italy etmtlhing
more than a -ilpltule return in thet l1Rotan
question to tile counventitonll ol t t iti ill tr,
1;64. Von lbltint took the ititiativte ill a
note leceivt d July 23, urging thlt the d(1.
Frneo tvacttuated R:,nle the Italiar s thou d
occlupy it \';th the arsCent eol Frat.ce ntid
Ansti:,. Ti i dtilemand startled the 1:I11
perorm.d atl-add-r!.-td him. 1li had lot ex
pected, saS, tiire Ithlke, that Austri:a woulld
urge hnll to, ttke a step openly hostile to
the P'ope or catll uptii France to repudiate
a convention which had really formed the
basis of tihe n~rnctnlcnlt just concluditd.
The Au'triau Abassadtdor at l',ris, too,
was puzze!od and surprised, and imputed
the change of attitude to sotme secret
movement by thie Cabinet ot Florence in
consistent with its official diclarations.
There was undoubtedly a party in the
Italian Ministry that wished to improve
the opportunity by taking a step towards
settling the Roman question, and untdoubt
edly, also, Victor Emmanuel sounded the
French Ambassador at Florence, Itaron de
Malaret, to ascertain whetther Napoleon
would not consent, verbally, that in case
of an emirgency the Italian army sl.oultl
occupy l.,rmt,. The Baron replhed that
this was impracticable, and expres),-td a
hope that the limian question uight not,
in any way, b' brought into the itgotita
tior.s for the rvnle alliance. "I holtpe so,
too," suaid the K'ng, L"f.r i wish to carr3
the triple aliliaurce through." This was tion
the 2:hb of July. O)n tl:e 2uhlt a telegraml
was rteceived tt Paris fromn the King of
Italy, satig tihat Austria had prop.isrd to
him a preTlimnIry Austro-Italian treaty of
armed neutrality-in accordance, of course,
with the secret understanding previously
arrived at between Italy. Austria and
France at Paris-which would facilitate the
action of the two posers iu a direction
favorable to France.
While these assurances were being ex
changed General Turr reached Florence
(July 27) and brought Victor Emmanunel a
budget of gossip and views, rrnofficial but
most interesting, which revealed a great
change in the situation from that of the 18th
of July, when the triple alliance had been
arranged, with the Roman question, which
had prevented an understanding in 1869,
quite left out. General Turr on his part
found Italy agitating with regard to Rome,
and Austria proposing a preliminary treaty
between herself and Italy as a condition
irecedent to the triple alliance with France.
The French Government now found it
necessary to invite categorical explana
tions. This it did July 28. King Victor
Emmanuel in reply formally withdrew his
demand on France for anything more than
a simple return to the terms of the conven.
lion of September, but on the very same
day Count von Beuet telegraphed from
Vienna to the Austrian Minister at Paris to
say that the suggestion he had made (on
the 20th-his letter reached Paris on the
23.1) that France should evacuate Rome
had beu insepired by Italy. The Italian
Ambassador at Paris bteing questioned at
once asserted as positively that Austria
and not Italy had taken the initiative in
the matter; and the French Government
found it necessary to unravel this contra.
diction. The Italian Ambassador, the Chev
alier de Nigra, telegraphed to Florence for
an explanation, and received areply July 21
from the Irtaran Foreign Minister, Count
Visconti-Venosta, declaring positively that
whenever France should execute her
part of the convention of September 1864,
"Italy, which has not denounced that con
vention, would carry out faithfully its
clauses, confiding in a just reciprocity on
the part of France in meeting her own en
gagements." All was now apparently set
tled, and the Dlke of Gramount wrote to
thle Freich Airbar.ador at Vienna: "The
incident is complete-ly ended. *" * In
conseq-luence we liiid rillrelive to-day
standing piupllliy on the ground of the
Siptember convontion ; nothing more thIan
that is asked of us, and we will carry it
out. Our corps of occup,.tion will evacuate
the plnt'tical states on the 5lh of August.
At this moment, however, King Victor's
aide-de-camp and Prince Napoleon's friend,
General Turr, suddenly came upon the
scene again, this time at Vienna. Hlie could
hardly claim to be even an "rflicioun"
rgent of Italy in the face of Visconti
Venosta's explicit declaration, but it was
desirable that he should be idformed of
what had. been done and that an under
standing had been arrived at. The Duke
of Gramont telegraphed on the 29th of
July to Prince'de la Tour d'Auvergne, the
French Minister at Vienna, thus :
I have received a letter from General Tarr,
who writes from Florence and is on his way
to Vienna. where he will stop at the Hotel
Muller. He is meddling in the whole negotia
tion, and though he has no authority for so
doing, I think he is employed by (Prince Na
poison). It seems to me that at Florence he
did more harm than good. I fear he may do
the same at Vienna. Bend for him as seon as
he arrives and tell him from me that we will
on no consideration abandon the convontion
of September-that he must not even speak of
it. Use the same language to him asyou have
to the others on this subject.
Prince de Ia Tour d'Auvergne acquitted
himself of this commission July 301. Two
days later Count Vimercati reappeared at
Paris from Vienna with the draft of an
Austro Italian treaty in four articles. Aus
tria and Italy agreed by this treaty to place
their forces by land and sea on the footing
of an armed neutrality, which was to be
converted by common and simultaneous
accord into an effective co-operation in
favor of France. All the conditions to be
observed during and after the war were
prescribed, and the moment of action
chosen by Austria, and selected by her
because her army would then be ready to
move, was to be the beginnir.g of September
There was a special article in the treaty by
which Austria engaged to second Italy to
tie end of obtaining a more advantageous
settlement of the Roman question than that
which would result from the convention of
September, 1864. This article brought
up again, though in a less explicit form,
precisely the proposition which on the
objection of France had been previously
laid aside. Furthermore, Vimercati's new
treaty was between Italy and Austria
alone and did not offer France an immedi
ate participation. This the Duke of Gra
mont pointed out. lie was told that as
France was already at war the signing of
a triple alliance would bring Prussia and
probably Ruseia down at once upon Austria
and Italy before those powers were ready
to fight. To leave no doubt as to the real
otbject of the treaty, the clause about con
verting the armed neutral'y into an effec
tive co-operation with France, however,
had been added. Count Vimercati left
Paris after a stay of a lfew hours to carry
the treaty to the Emperor Napoleon at
Metz. He brought it back to Paris the next
day. Napo:leon had indicated two changes :
The date of entering into active co-opera
tion must be tfixed, and be an early one,
and tihe article about Austria seconding
itly ill the limuan ilquestior miirt be struck
oirt. It witrs niot easy to say why this
ar ticio should not be struck rut, for on tirhe
2'th ofJ uly the Italian Minister of Foreign
Alfnirs hnad told thie French Ambassador
it Floreirce that, "after tire recent dec'ari
tio.ne, a recent stipulation by which the
Citrinct of Vienna promised its good offces
to obtain from France important conces
sions in the Romen question would neither
be serious nor useful." How, then, did tihe
stipulation get into the text of the treaty
broughlt only a few days after this from
Vienna by Count Vimercatr 7
On the 4th of August the Eipefor Napo
leon wrote to the Duke of Gramonot: "I
have seen Vimercali and have yielded
nothing of what was agreed upon between
us." Vimeroati went to Florence, whither
also went Von Benst's agent, Count Vitz
thum, and Victor Emmanuel took an active
part in preparing the final draft of the
treaty lie regretted Austria's alowness,
anrd was inclined to take the field with
h~s army at once in support of France
it Austria would agree to let hier
pass tlronlgh the Tyrol and enter li,
varia. To tile Austria objected that
sucl ii an act on ier part would be equivalent
to a duclaration of war against termany,
and that from her geographical position
hetween Rlrss~ i and Prosasia she could not
,ossibly do anythisg to provoke hostilities
till she was quite ready to strike the tirst
blow horself. For this military reason
Austria insisted on retainuLng the article
which left the date of act on to be fied by
herself and Italy. The article sabout Rome
was abandoned in def.-rence to Napoleon'n
wishes. But the discaevains about it had
occupied several days ata time when events
were moving fester than diplomacy. And
so it came to pass that while the French
agents vested with full powers at Florence
and Vienna were awaiting the signature of
the Austro Italian treaty the battles of
Welssembourg and Woerth were fought
and the current of history was cbanged.
"It was with victory still more than with
France," says the Duke of Gramont, mali
cionsly, "that Italy and Austria desired an
alliance.'
OVERWIIORKED .I1EXN
The sudden death of Mr. William Ostor.
has furnished another of those warnings to
overworked men which conme so often and
to which so little heed is given. There can
he no doubt about what killed Mr. Orton.
IIo ought to have lived twenty years longer
at least, and in any other country t!han
this, or if he had been a mechanic or a tusmall
shopkeeper, he might with reason have
looked forward to even a longer term o'
life. IHe was in robust health and in what
most people would consider very corufort
able circumstances; he was temperate in
his habits, careful in his mode of living,
and, so far as is known, he had no domestic
or personal cares to worry him. Why should
such a rnan wear out at fifty, going to
pieces al! at o.e' I Simply because, like
nearly every man among us who holds a
position of like responsibility, he imposed
upon his ret vous stem too much wok
and gave it too little p'ay. It is not so
much the nmounlt of work that wears out
the brain or any otlher organ as the neg
lect of the needed rest. A man cannot be
thinking about his business all the time
any more than he can be hammering at the
anvil all the time without exhaustion, and
the men who work with their brains are in
greater danger than those who work with
their hand., for the obvious reason that the
limit of muscular txertion is soon te:scl.ed,
beyond which it is impossible to g., wh:le
the brain will keep on actinrg after a fasLion
until it is altogether used up. Tie reasn
that thle average life of our public nmen
atmong whom we include not only politi
cians but the managers of our groeat corpo
rations-is shorter than that of the corns
ponding classes abroad, is to be fourd in
the hurry and worry to which the) are
subjected and in the neglect of a wise and
systematic division of their time. This
latter difficulty is a part of our social
organization or want of organization. An
English railway president, for example,
easily falls into the habit of apportioning
the details of his work among subordinates
who obey his commands without question,
retaining to himself only a general super
vision, which can be maintained just as
offactively by a few hours' attention each
day as by working and worrying through
the whole twenty four. The day's busi
ness despatched, it is dismissed from his
mind, not because he is indifferent to it,
but because it is a part of the system in
which he has been educated to work only
in working hours. He dines leisurely and
goes to the play or to his club; he rides or
drives; he runs down in the country to
take a turn with the hounds; be makes his
recreation as much a matter of duty as his
business, and the result is that be is an
active man at seventy, whereas in America
he probably would have broken down at
fifty. It is difficult for a man who is placed
in a responsible position in this country to
apportion his daily. work in this way. So
citty does not move along so smoothly in
well worn channels, and business follows
to an exaggerated degree the habits of
society. We often hear it said that it is
that wears men out so soon, and in many
cases this is true; but nut in all. Often
enough a man's overwork is caused by a
simple and honorable desire to do his whole
duty in the station to which he is called,
that tno interests entrusted to him may
suffer from his neglect. lie sees that hard
work is ntecessary to success. and he will
work as hard as any man. lie knows the
importance of at'ention to details, and he
will look after everything himself. He finds
no recognized division between the world's
hours of work and of play, and he dare not
be idle lest somebody get ahead of him. If
he had only himself to think of he might
take the risks; but there are great interests
entrusted to him, for which he is responsi
ble and which he dare not divide, and so
he works all the time, until some day he
finds that he cannot work at all. It is not
a matter of choice, but of compulsion; it
is not avarice or ambition, but a duty that
cannot be escaped. Men like President
O.ton are as truly overworked as was ever
a plan:ation negro, and it is the ceaseless
drive of our unformed and unorganized
society that kills them in their prime. It
is of very little use to scold these men and
tell them that they should not work so
hard. They are driven continually by a
force which they can neither control nor
iseist : they must wot k, and If it kill them,
as they know it may, at least they will die
t:i hiuntee. They can help theinielves a

time in their hitd-t driven livi'es to learn
how to rest or hlw to be diverted, and if
ever they do lItirn, the knowledge com
mIonly coetirs too late. It is in this way
that we are killintg off our ablest mnuen, just

O"JiJCT OF THE LOiN.
During the crisis which followed the war of recession,
and which w eighed so heavily on the State of Louisiana,
the Administrators of the Diocese of New Orleaos
asomed liabilities which they have determined to
1 quidate. In the past year a better state of affairs
loomed up in the finanoial situation of the Diocese.
That improvement will increase as the rate of interest
claimed by ito creditors is lessened.
The conventional rate, in Louisiana, is too high for a -
religions society, the revenues of which, thoughentirely ]
secure, are nevertheless limited, for such a society
cannot look for eventual profits in contingent under
tatings or in speculations altogether inconsistent with
its mission of benevolence and chari'y.
Therefore it is not with a view of creating a new debt
that this loan is negotiated, but in order to unify and
consolidate anterior liabilities, and obtain theirgradual
and regular extinction by means of the ordinary
revenues of the Diocese, and without endangering the
Church property, although affecting it. Such is the
plan positively approved by Bis Holiness, Plus IX,
and unanimously adopted by the Board of Administra
tors of the Roman Carholic Church of the Diocese of
New Orleans.
SECURITIES.
-he Diocese of New Orleaas, a corporation consti
toted under the laws of the State of Louisiana, by the
name and style of " IHE L].OAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH OF THE DIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS,"
and mor.tl.
Asa corporation Irgally iestituted. it erJoys all the
righ's and privileges of a civil body. It can contract
debts, acquire, lorrow, alienate and mortgage its pro.
pertles, whether movable or immovable, under the
prescription of its Charter. At their meeting of
January llth, 1878. the Council of said Society unanl.
mouoly deteruined, for the reasons above stated, to
isue at the rate of r per cent, a single loan of IL250 0t,
secured by a special mortgage on all the mor;gagable
real estate of the D;ocese ; and therefore, by a deed
dated January 26th, 1878. passed before O. de Armas,
Notary Potlic In New Orleans, the above resolution
was carried into effect. by the granting of aspecial E
mortgage on all the mortgogable real estate of the
Diocese to secure the Bonds thus issued, whish said
mortgsge was do'y recorded, as will appear by certif- E
cstes of the Recorder of Mortgages annexed to said
act in the Office of said Notary.
Besides this solid guarantee, said Corporation pledges
its honor and good faith for the faithful diseharge of
the above ob:lgations.

SUMMARY.
From what iprecedes, it fotllws
That the loan is negociated with the sole object of
liquidating all former debts;
That it repressoents the liabilities of the "Society of
the Roman Catholic Churoh," w hich are thereby unified
and consolidated with a reduced interest;
That it Is scurrdt by a sleclal mortgage on proper
ties worth five times as much as the amount borrowed
ald therefore amIly sufficreat to nguarantee both the
pasymeut of interseles and the re demption of the esapltal.
Consequently. the Mortgageo Bonds of the Diocese of
New Orleans e nats!tute a Srst-class Invstment, with
moral and material securities but seldom *ered to
eapitalists.
