Tho pressuro upon our columns on Sundsy morning ins0 great that wo nro compelied to roquest advortisers torond in their advortisements for that issuo atam early anhour s possible, in ordor that they moy with certainty secure tho propor classification. o — Ex-Empress Eugonio will learn with griof that the French throne, on which sho had set her ‘honrt for ier gon, is no longer open. It was offored tho othor day by o doputation of Logiti- mists to tho Count do Chambord, snd Lo was groody enough to accopt it. Tho decision of Attorney-General Willinms in the Oarl Vogt caso, traversing the opinion of Judgo Blatchford that the Delgian murderor could bo surrendered to the German anthoritios, lizs been formally made known to the Gorman ropresontative, Vogt will soon bo released from custody. A suitto recover illegal froight charges paid the Milwaukeo & St. Paul Tload hns boon bogun by o firm of grain-shippora in Minnesota, They claim that the Company has charged them 84 centg o bushol more than is allowed by tho law, and has thoreby oxtorfed from them £50,000 which thoy menn to got back. An anonymous correspondent wishes to kuow the name of the writer of tho lotter from Co- logno, ontitled ** Gorman Dospotism,” published 1n o recont issue of Tux Trinose. Woars not in tho habit of answering anonymous communi- cations, but wo will vouchsafo tho information in this caso that the writor of tho lotter was not Carl Schurz Hem1 Rochofort has finally boon gont on his way to Now Cnledonin. o was sentenced, n 1871, for his Communist porformnnces, to im- prisonment for lifo in n fortross, but this punish- ment was afterwards changed, though not merci- fully, to banishment to this postiferons penal colony. His removal has been delayed by ill- honlth, which hns bettored sufficiently to allow him to Lo trancported. Presdent Grant has given his official approvnl of tho now rules propared by tho Civil Sorvico Board lnst Juno, and promiaes that thoy shatl Dbo put into operation as soon ns tho necessary arrangements ean bo made. Among other things, hese rules provide thnt, for the convenionco of competitors for Government positions, tho States ghall bo divided in five groups, in onch of which examinations may bo held, subject to tho santral direction of the Bonrd. ‘Tho Union Pacific is jta land-grants, Tho Government has hardened its heart againet this onco favorite corporation, and rofuses to issuc patents to it for tho altor- nnte sections it claims in Nebraska and thoeTerri- tories. This, on tho ground that tho road is not finished as o first-clacs road, and will not bo s0 considored until e now Commissionor shall ox- smino and pronounce it such. To make tho matter worke, the Company has already sold o Iarga portion of theso lands to sottlers, giving them bonds to convey good titlo, Gen. Van Buren's namo appoars ouce more ‘in tho Washington dispatchen, The Stato Depnrt- ment nt lust announces that it has received the full roport of the Speeisl Commission appointed to look into the charges of his oflicial corrup- tion at Vienne, but voucheafes only tho meagre stntement that its findings are the “roverse of complimentary " to tho Gonoral and his nssiat- nute, If uncomplimentavy iy tho strongest ward that can bo used in this connoction, peoplo will grow more anxious than over toread for themselves tho ovidenco on which Gon, Van Buron was disgraced. e Ropnblican influenco was brought to hesr strongly on the Iroquois County farmors who mot yostorday at Watsaka, to induce them to co-operate with tho Convention cailod by tho Tepublicans for tho 20th inst. The farmors docided that they wero rnnming anothor kind of party this yoar, hut would bo bappy to have tho Ropublienns, and the Democrats and Lib- orals as well, co-operate with them. Thoy fixed the dato of their Convention for the nomiuation of indepondent county officera on the day pro- ceding the Ropublican mooting.

Mayor Modill has boen potitioned by about 200 mambors of the TFire Depnartmont to fill the va- cant placo of the Chief Firo Marshal by tho promotion of some one in the servico. The potition namos no partionlar candidate, and was stated by the Committeo who presonted it to Liavo beon propared aud eigned freo from tho prossuro of any Influenco by the ofiicors of tho Dopartment, aund inspired only by tho fool- ing that tho ofilcloncy of the Dopnrt- mont roquired that tho ntmost confidonco should exist . bolwoon its lead and his subordinntes, The Mayor told tho petlitionors that lio considored thin appointmont tho most gravo and Important that he lins hoen called upon to mnko during his adminisiration.

Cattlo woro without quotablo change. Shoep wore Inaotive, Tho exposures of the Fort Suelling frand are growing moro aud moro dissstrous to the ropu- tation of thoso ongaged in it. Wo print an official atatomont of tho affair, from which it will bo soon that army officors somotimes Lave strango notions of equity. Thus this particular Board recommonded {wo oquitable forms of sot~ tloment. By tho one, Stoclo was to recoive monoy and land to tho value of $467,309 in ro- turn for $30,000 paid by Lim in 1858 ; and by tho othor, Lio was to rocoive back his £80,000, with $27,000 intorost, and the United Btates wore to rotain 8,000 acres of thoir own land, Thoss woro roported by tho Board of army officors ns altornative propositions for an ** cquita~ blo” mottlement. Of courso Stoelo moloct- od the first proposition, and the Socretary of War, blind to the fact that if the second propo- siton was an equitablo one, tho first was o monstrous fraud, approved the choico., Con- sidered as n “court of equity,” ihat Military Bonrd was a marvolous tribunal. Reduced to plain English, tho transaction reads thus: The Government owned 8,000 ncres of land on which it had o fort ; Bteolo, in 1858, under a pretonded purchase, pald §30,000. In 1870, ho claimod tho wholo land and ronts for its uso sinco 1857, Tho Borrd substavtially decidod: 1. That equity re- quired tho Governmoui to give Steelo all ho asled. 2 That it should pay Steclo back his £30,000, and keep the land. It decided shintif tho dofondant did not pay what the plaintift de- manded, then the plaintiff should pay what tho defondant domandod. This mode of deciding cases may bo considered, in the light of Sccre- tary Belkuap'’s approval, as turning the Daepart- mont of War into & Department of Equity. CIEBARISH, Tho Washington Chronicle in repoated articles has sought toimpross on tho country the fact that Gon. Grant's clection to s third term may Do o necossty, while ostensibly ridiculing the Now York ferald's axticlos on “ Orsavism.” Tho Indianapolis Journal, also & Republican organ, on the other hand, bas repeatedly ridiouled tho assumption that Grant's olootion to o third torm can, undor eny circumstancos, bo contemplated. It has embracod each ocension, however, to mako an oluborate argument ngainst the third- torm principle, apparoutly dooming it nocossary to arouso publio sontimout to oppoeoit. Tho country, more or loss, aro discussing this quos- tion of Oresarism, snd it may be appropriate Lo inquire what Crssrism is, and who would bo likely to favor it. Crsnriem is the ostablishmont of abuolute power in nsinglo hand, the proceoding having tho somblanco of popular choice. When men spoak of Omsarism in tho United Siatos, thioy do not mean that the form of the Govern- ment will bo overthrown in a day, or {hat & por- son holding the offico of Prosident will, by a decrao, or o coup d'elat, or by military violence, declare the Ropublio at an ond. Julius Cmesar, {in B, 0. 49, crossed tho Rubicon and ontered Tomoj in 48 was clocted Consul, and tho szmo yoar temporary Dictator; in August, 47, was ngain mace Dictator; in 46 was mado Dictator for ton yoars; in 46 was declared Pator Patrim, &o., and Imporator for life, and Dictator. Throo timos ho rojociod tho orown, and in Mareh, 44, was nssoseinated. Tho First Napoleon, hastily returming from Egypt in October, 1799, ovor~ turned tho Directory, and was made one of threa Consuls; in Decembeor waa made First Consul ; in May, 1802, was mado molo Comsul for ten yeara in August of tho sano yenr was mado Consul for lifo; in Mny, 1804, had himself do- clarod Emperor, and in Docomber was crowned., Napoloon TIT, was elected Preridont in Docembor, 1848, for four years; in December, 1861, decluring ihat tho peoplo wantod him for a longer time, ho submitted the question to n popular vote, and wny elected Prosident for ton years. A year Inter, ho submitted the question again to o pop~ ular vote, nud tho Empiro was doclared, less than 254,000 out of 8,000,000 of votow being cast in tho negetive, Inench of theso casos, tho steps woro taken in Reeraing obedienco to tho will of the majority, In each enso tho poried required to advanco from tho-lowost to the highest powor wan about fivo yoers, and tho result iu each cnse wnA abgolute despotism, Thoso who discuss the possibilition of Omanrism in tho United Btates traco tho sleps thus : A third torm; an clection for ton yoara; au olection for lifo; abolition of Stato Govornments ; tho foundation of n porma- nont dynasty by popular voto, or what passes for such, For the prosont, Crosarism is o laughing- slack, but itis more than probable that inn vory short timo it would havo the direct or indi- rect support of soveral larga classos of tho popu- Intion, including tho follawing: 1. The whites of the South. 2. The blacks of the SBouth, 8, The Northorn monopollats of all kinds, tholand- grabbors, subeidy-grabbors, snlary-grabbors, tariff-grabbers. 4. Tho Fodoral offico-holders, The first of these classes, takon ag a wholo, aro o yndly discontonted people. Whilo such a thing na rebolllon or armed opposition to the presont form of government iy utterly gono out of their minds, thoy are Intenscly anxlous for somo chango that will roleaso them from {he domiug- tion of thoir local Governmonts. They are pro- parod for anything that will afford thom reliof from tho carpot-bggers and nogroos, Tho suhe siltution of a military govornment in placo of tho prosont wrolchod Institutions wonld Lo wel- comed In nonrly overy Houtharn State, and has boen oficlally nsked for in Loulslana, Nor would the blacks bo oppoiiod to Cresarism if the “ Qovornment " wantod it Wo tlom, the Clovorn= wmont at Washinglon is o Providence, a fotish, tho founlain of power and wenlth, 'Thoy are indobtod to the Govornmont for all thoy hiave. And for all thoy oxpect or desiro thoy look to the Government, ‘I'hoy nra already the childron of a paternat governmont, and thoy earonot what it may bo called, or how it may be constitnted, if it promises them forty acros of landandrmulo. Cresarism, thorofore,would have no serlouy opposition, but mueh effectivo sup- port, from tho wholo South, unless Virginin may Lo an oxcoption, i Among tho peoplo of tho North, Crsarism would be popular with the monopolists. Thoy havo nothing to gain but overything to fonr from popular government, and liave overything to gain and nothing to fonr from an aristocratio govornment. Thoy would be the Grandees of tho Emplro. Thoy would provido tho netivo copltal, rocciving in roturn grants of lands, governmonts of provinces, subsidios, priv- ilogos, Litles, and honors, and become tho ruling class, Cresar's fltst act wns to croato o now Honato of 900 membors. Tho two Napoloons crentod Benators of the Empiro at thoir plens- uros tho conntry eventunily footed tho Dbill; but, whilo the thing lnsted, tho capitnlists of tho nation bnd a grand time. Every specics of monopoly would lail Cresrism with joy. Pro- tocted by absolute powor from encroschments by tho peoplo, it would bo al-powerful in & govornment where one man or a fow mon held oxclusive putbority, It would concentrato in support of an American dmapm.ham= just as tho weelth and capitnl of Europe upholds monarchy in proportion ns tho lattor keeps down tho com- monalty. 1 No man who bas given caroful attention to the practicos of tho Fedoral offico-holders since the close of tho War hias failed to notico that porsonal aggrandizement and fenlty to tho appointiug power has been tho ruling spiritof tho class, ‘Tho rovelations in tho cases of Loob & BStock- "ing, Onsoy nnd Packard, Tom Murphy, and othor largo ponsionors on tho Trensury, created no othor fooling in tho averago offico-lolder or offico-scoker than onvy at their good Iuck, Undor o patornal govornment, freo from in- vostigating committeos, with an obsoquions press,” with no popular clamor, tho placomen. would cnjoy an olysium not posaiblo undor the prosont form of govornment, Crosarism would thereforo bo strong with this class, oll of whom would slout lustily for a permanent government. . Onoof tho moans by whioh Napoleon IIT. silonced discontent was tho lavish hand ho em-' ployed in public works. Ho * gave omployment to Inbor" by levying taxes to construct public works. Thoro aro at this time applications botoro Congress for n natioual expendituro of nearly ono thousand millions to dig cauals, build ships, establish national foundries, con- struct and operate railronds, aud various othor projects. This sum could ensily bo doubled if any prospect of success wns furnishod. Tho entiro brood of Credit Mobilicrs and speculators who itel for the handling of this money would favor Crezarism,—that being: tho best form of government for them. But Crosarism would find sturdy opponents in tho great mass of tho Northern peoplo who aro not monopoliste, ave not oflice-holdors or office- acckers, and who are not interostod in schemos against tho Public 'Treasury. All tho traditions of theso people, thoir religious and secular odu- cation, thoir industrinl hinbits, their politicel and socinl kopes and ambitions are entirely hostile to it ; and theso peoplo will bo likely to unite sgeinst any proposition in that direction, whoth- or it como in the form of a third olection to tho Presidoncy or in any other shape. THE WINCHESTER MEETING. Wo print this moming full reports of tho epeochies mado b Winchoster, in this State, on Thursdry, by Mr, W. C. Flagg, Prosidont of the Siate Farmors' Asgsociation, and BMr. B, M. Bmith, Seeretary of tho samo organization. Tho occasion was o gathering of tho farmoers of tho surrounding district, with thoir wives and familios ; & sort of picnic barbecue, whick wo un- deratand {8 to bo ndopted gonerally throughont the Stato s n means for mniting social intor- conrna with popular instruction on tho leading topics of intorest to tho farming community, Somo 2,000 porsons are roported ns having aogembled at Winchestor, and'it is probable that thoso gatherings will contribute more to tha progress of tho farmers’ movement than any number of formal couventions. ‘Wo call attention to Mr. Flagg's spooch, not only on account of the cloarness with which tho farmors' griovances and their causos aro stated, but because Mr. Flagg hes heretofore boen clagsed among thoso who opposed & scparato prrty movement. If Mr. Flage has boen of this way of thinking, it ia evidout from his Winches- tor spoech that Lie has abandoned it, His objec- tion to the ordor of “Patrons of Iusbandry" in, that their organization is opposed to political naction, *Tho best opponent to unscrupulous woalth or its similitude,” ho onys, ‘‘is votes— votesunbought and unpurchaseable, which, thank Cod, the rural districts ot lenst can yot furnish,” Tho conclusion to which all the facts and argu- ments adduced by M, Flagg lead, is tho ncces- slty for politicnl organization among the farmers. Mr. Fingg wns caroful to impress upon his honrora that ho spoke for nobody but himself; but it is protty cortain thet ho has como to the conclusion, roached some timo since by Nr. Smith, that tho favmors’ movoment must bo in- dopondent of exinting political pnrties. The objective point of Mr. Flagg'n attack i the anbuso of consolidated capilnl, which, iu rail- ronds, fales tho form of excessivo chnrgos and watered stocks; in manufactures, the form of protective tarifts aud oxtortionato profits; and, in all trado, the formof combination ngainat the poople. Ho quotos tho Wesiminster Re- vieww, which compnres the prosent powor of organized wonlth in Ameriea to tho foudal mystom of tho Middle Ages, Hocharges that Logislnturesand Exceutives havo Deen in tho intorost of this growing power, and holds that tho only way for the favmers to put down theso abuses is to possoss thiomselven of tho govorning function, and thus protect thom- solves ngainkt opprossion of ovory kind, Though ho males thooo nsyortions in a goneral way, there scoms to bo no disposition on hia part to inangurato & war ngainst capital, o is enroful to ey that every industry and pursuit should onrn a falr profit. Iis objection in to tho unfalf division of the profita; to the fact that manufacturod articles under the proteotive system naro worth from G0 to 100 por cont moro than they wore bofore tho War, while agrionltural products, with the oxcoption of cot- ton, havo not advanced, 1fe domands for tho farmors thio right of froo trado, rogulnted by the Inwa of supply nhd demand. o meot oxisting abugos, ho Lolds that tho farmors’ must xoform the Govornment, which hay ouablod combinns tionn of capital Lo practico their oxtortions. Ta this eud ho urgos orgunization,—organization in tho graugo, organization among tho' various grongos, o Btato organizatlon, and o Natlonal organization, Ho rocommends disouesion, intor- ohango of thought, and edueation,—the reading of nowspapers and books, and ' tho study of po- litlenl cconomy. And ho looks upon a rostora- tion of specle paymonts na an Important dosid- oratum for tho farmor. Tho concluding portion of Mr. 8. M. Bmith'a spaech will undoubtedly mako considorablo nolso intho land. o sald, in substauce, that if ox- isting abuses and corruption could not bo ro- formod In any other way, ho, for ono, would Tiolp to rido our loglelators on n rall, and if that dldw't answer, ho would help to hang a fow of thom, Ha didn't oxpoot any such nccessity to arlse, howovor, Bome such talk as this was provalont whon Tweod and 8weonoy and Barnard woro hnving thelr own way in Now York, but o moro poncoful and eatiafactory mothod of deal~ ing with thoso abusos was discovored and adopt- od. The objection to spocchos of this sortis that they tend not only to incite poople to unlaw-~ ful courses, but also to frighton othor poople awsy from tho farmers' movement. -What is #aid by tho ordinary stump orator ot n publio mooting is of little consequonce, What is sald by tho chiof officors of tho Farmora' Association travels o long distanco; and very likely Mr. Smith's speech will furnish another toxt for tho London Zimes. —— THE DISADVANTAGE OF BROWN, Wo havo already alluded in thoso columns to tha vory romarkabloand docidedlyabnormal feata per- formod i:y tho young gontlomon of the name of Brown, who, atter placing the haud of & porson upon his hond, is onnbled to find out what is going on in the other porson'a hoad. The only oxplanation which Mr. Brown is ablo to give of this poouliar power is, that, a4 soon a8 tho socond porson’s hand touchos hin head, he soos a light dancing boforo s oyos, which guides Lim to tho objeot or locality of which the porson s think- ing, 05 tho star guided tho shopherds. Of tho fact of his consciousness or power of scolng what n porson s thinking of, thero is no doubt. It has boen repeatedly tested by people who had mo faith in iy alloged powor, and waa testod by vavious skeptics in Tux Trisuns offico with entiro succoss to the peychologist, clairvoyant, soor, wizard, or what- o¥or namo may bo most dear. Tho powoer which Mr, Brown s onabled to ex- orcigo doos not differ from that of many other porsons, oxcopt in the fact that he is not put under tho influonce of *‘ mosmorism,” and does not go into & trance, but e in his normal, wake- ful condition when ho oxcreises it. The fact of its possession boing acknowledgod, tho quostion immodintely arises why it s not - utilized and made to accomplish somo wusoful purposo, Mr. Brown, by virtuo of his wondorful gift, shonld be tho most succossful of detectives. All that it would bo necessary for him to do would bo to placo the thiof's hand against bis head and he would at onco sce tho stolen proporty in its placo of concealmont. Ho would be tho torror of * fances,” pasnbrokors, old junk-dealers, and thievos' go-botwoens. The utmost cunning of burglar or pickpocket would b6 of no avail agalnst tho lights which danco bo- foro Brown's oyos, illuminating the secrot places. Bupposo, for instance, that Brown had beon on the polico fores whon Lizzie Moore was robbed of the only jowols remaining to hor. Sho would not have beon compeliod to go to Capt. Hickey and place the threo hundred dollars under his pillow, and make numerous trips to and fro, before ehe could rocover them. Brown would bave placed somobody’s hand upon his boad, and presto, . little twinkling mtar would bavo led him to the epot whoro tho dismonda wero hiddon, and thus Hickey might havo been saved his atar, and the woman wounld linve got her property without any diffioulty or oxpense. No limit can be placed upon the oxer- ciso of this powoer. Suppogo that Brown had had tho loan of Oskea Amos' hand for a fow minutes, ‘what disclosures ho might have made I Suppeso, in addition, ho had had tho hands of tho rocipi- onts of the Oredit Mobilier dividonds. Ilow quickly ho would have discovered thoe places whore thoy did tho most good. 1t is casy to soe, Lowovor, that it would not ho woll for ovory ono to posuess this marvelous powor. Thoro is canes for sincoro congratula= tion that wo aro not all Browns, and do not pos- acss tho power of laying on of hands. Wo will agsumo that Mrs, SBmith is o trustful, confiding woman, who belioves that Smith is a roso of Tionesty and a pink of porfection. Having no jonlonaics, sho passes her days in comfort and Lior nights in ponco. Ilor only sadnoas is in tho roflection that Bmith is overworking himuolfy and when, on Baturdays, ho does not turn up ot dinner-time, sho sighs ns she thinks of him toil- ing in tho offico, woaring out his youthful enor- glos and growing promaturoly gray, and she sita ‘up for him and emooths his noble brow when ho roturns, and ploads with him to sparo him- solf. And tho moblo Smith acknowlodges that he istired, * but, my dear, I cannot shirk my work. Itis onlyn temporary flurry, and somo of tho othors arc off on a vacation, which brings oxtra worl, yon know.” And thon Smith turns over and is soon snoring, aud foolish Mrs, Smith thinks it oll ovor, and wondera why sho was forcordained to entail such a burden of Inbor on hor consort, aud if sho cannot, unboknown to him, manago to do something horsolf to lighten thio load bofore ho breals down under it. But guppogo that Mrs. Buith possossed Brown's power, and 5UppPoso Boma night whon Smith bas to labor solato, or is obliged to go to tho lodge, or has an appointment to moot a man on busl- nees, sha should happen to take Smith's hand in hor own littlo white flugers, and In n fit of nbatraction placo it ogaingt hor hond, what sconos the dancing, twink- ling lights wonld show hor! What fostive suppers, what flagons of heer, what sconea at tho lodgo—dear ma!
