The Em- peror ot Brazil is a splena|(d ruler. Wise, sagecious and benevolent, he* bas mado his government one of the best id the world. While all the rest of the continent is a. *turbed by war, Don Pedro has kept Brazil in ps-tfect peace, and by his noble conduct towards o."* rebels he has secured the respect and the esteem of the American people. The Emperor Maximiliano will searcely have a chance to show his good or bad qualities. The Mexican throne is a very slippery affair, and rulers slide off it easily. We should not be aston- ished, therefore, if the new Emperor shared the fate of Iturbide just as he had settled him- self comfortably upon the imperis| velvet. Until recently we have indulged the pleasing hepe that Spain would attempt to found another empire in Peru, so that we might re- taliate by pocketing the lovely island of Cuba. But it now appears that the Spanish govera- ment refuses to embark in that promising speculation, aad consequently disavows the action of Admiral Pinzon, the filibuster, {a seizing the Chincha Islands. In certain games of chance the player often loses the stakes by showing his hand too soon, and the Peruvians have com- mitted just this error, Instead of waiting patiently until Spain had made up her mind to play, and had staked her all upon the game, the Peruvians at once began to raise tremend- ous armies and boast largely of their iron- clads; so that Spain was bluffed off, aud the South Americans lost the chauce of squaring their heavy balances against her. , With wily Secretary Seward at the head of our foreign affairs, we are playing a neater game for the Mexican stake; but, then, Maximiliano has saved us considerable trouble by quietly pro- viding for his own destruction. The Mexican throne is slippery, as we before observed; but Maximiliano has taken the pains to select a ‘man to push him off, in case he does not slide off gracefully, by appointing Santa Anna to the first office in his gift. Santa Anna has nothing of the saint about him except his name.- He is & modern Mephistopheles, and Maximilian is the modern Faust. We all know the end of the story. We have seen Biachi and Mazzoleni act itinthe opera. It will be a good opera for the Emperor’s troupe to begin with. Me- phistopheles leads Faust along from sin to sin, until at last he grips bim by the collar and sends him to the infernal regions. Santa Anna is acting the same role with Maximilian. By and by, we shall see the new Mexican Faust thrust downward, amid a blaze of red fire and an odor of brimstone, and the Mexican Mephis- topheles will seize the crown and smile grimly at the success of his scheme. But why should we wander away to Mexicc or Brazil to find an American emperor, when we may shortly have one here at home? Why should we despatch our special correspondents to describe an imperial coronation in the tropics, when we may soon have need of them to picture an imperial coronation at Washing- ton? Maximiliano the First sounds right roy- ally; but Abrahamus the First also has the true, imperial ring. The plan broached by the Times and Tribune at the beginning of this. war, to make the President # dictator, had ‘its merits; but the latest idea of the shoddy republicans ia to make the President an emperor, and that is much more pract and much more satis- factory to all concerned. The transformation is not 8o difficult as some people imagine. Nae poleon the Great showed how easily it could be effected when he emerged from the chrysalis of First Consul and dazzled the world as an impe- rial butterfly. Napoleon the Seeond learned his uncle’s lesson while confined in the For- tress of Ham, and as soon as he could prevail upon the French people to elect him President he cried presto! and appeared in the imperial purple. It would be strange, indeed, if Pres!- dent Lincoln could-aot perform this trick as readily as the two Napoleons. If he should require any hints or suggestions, the Chevalier Wikoff, who studied with the French Emperor at Ham, is the very man to furnish them. After all, it would be merely a change of name. The President has assumed imperial powers, and rides about, attended by a body guard, in im- perial state. Mrs. Lincoln, too, is every inch an empress, and would adorn the title. Bas- tiles, and arbitrary arrests, and the supercedure of legal warrants by the ringing of a little bell, and the exiling of eitizens without due process of law, and all the other imperial characteristics, are already in vogue. The shoddy aristocracy have their liveries in good order. Nothing is necessary but the coronation and the titles to give us a third emperor on this continent. All the fuss and fury, the trouble and yexa- tion, the noige and confusion of the coming Presidential election would be avoided by creating Lincoln an emperor. We should hear no more growls from poor Greeley if he were made the Duke de Dirtyboots and Westchester. Raymond would say nothing about Fremont’s being a copperhead if he were styled the Vis- count d’Amour and Trimmer Extraordinary. | Thurlow Weed would be reconolled to the radi- cals if he were the Count de Contracts, and Seward the Marshal de Manuscript. Chase, of course, would be the Earl of Greenbacks; Stan- ton would be Lord Bombastes Fugios0; Biatr, the xing mane?, Would be Barl farwick, Bryant, of the Post, should be Poet Laureate; Welles would be the Lord ef Sleepy Hollow; Fernando Wood Is already the Duke de Bloom- ingdale; Brooks, of the Zxpress, would be Lord Booby; Wendell Phillips might be the Baron Blackamoor; Tilton, of the Independent, would be the Marquis de Miscogenation; Ben Wood, of the News, would be the Prince of Peace and Four, Eleven, Forty-four; Bon Wade would be Baron Bluster; Forney could be High Steward of the Imperial Kitchen; Sum- ner would be Count Africanus de Gab; Wilson should be the Chevalier Fibber; Obandler would be the Baron of the Bottle; Dean Richmond might keep bis present title, the Dean, with the Order of the Central Rail- road superadded; Cameron would -be Rob Roy, Chief of the Contract Olan. This list could be indefinitely extended, and as the titles are pretty evenly divided, all parties would be satisfied. The Emperor might distribute the Grand Order of St. Shoddy to all the worthy members of the aristocracy, instead of the Or- Gor of the Garter, which could be reserved for the lady aristocrats, The Senate would then be called the Housé of Peers, and the House Renresonigtiven mould pecgpe the Haupa of | > ommon Folks, to whose utterances no more atte.\tion would be paid than at present. Just these of 'ght alterations in names, therefore, will transfo."™ the republic into an empire, and save us all the Dother of an election. We pre- sent the idea aso “wa measure,” thus preserv- ing it from the attacks of any “loyal” man, According to the doctrine now in vogite. As & war measure it will be much more effestive than the emancipation proclamation; for the rebels have a proclivity towards aristocracy, and, as Bull Run Russell, says, they once wanted the Prince of Wales to rule over them. Consequently, they might rush back into the Union to join in the scramble for titles, even though they did.not rush back, as ex- pacted, to ave their titles in slaves. The Beauties of Shoddy—First Fruits of the Cabinct Quarrel. We publish this morning another spicy and interesting chapter'in thé ¢ontroversy between the friends of the different members of Mr. Lin- coln’s Cabinet. But a few day» since we gave an account of the preliminary skirmish and the notes of preparation. for a grand battle over the plunder of Old Abe's administration be- tween the leading adherents and special advo- cates of different members of the Cabinet, which clearly pointed towards a contest not only severe, but damaging to all concerned. We now furnish our readers with aracy de- scription of the first battle, described by an active participant. This important letter and the tame reply will give the public an inside view of the workings of the administration which the so-called Honest Old Abe bas given us for the last three and a half years. If such statements as these, coming as they do from semi-official sources, do not convince the public that one term of President Lincoln and bis “Happy Family” Cabinet is sufficient, then we must confess that there is no virtue left in the country; that the bean- ties of shoddy are so attractive to the people that they have made it their idol and their god, and, like the heathen of old, have become so infatuated that they are ready to lay down and let the releat- less car of Juggernaut roll over and orush them. It appears that Mr. Weed, after fortifying himself and providing against flank movements, by the use of several letters explaining the Cataline contract—sbowing that he hed no con- nection with that muck talked of vessel, except endorsing the notes in « careless way for her purchasers—made a bold charge upon the forti- fications of the radicals, and has exposed their camp, with all its shoddy apparatus, to the view of the public. He neither held back on technicalities nor stood on ceremony, but threw his bombshells right and left, assail- ing their shoddy citadel. The way that he has handled the Navy Agent of this port, the finan- cial dodges of ex-Mayor Opdyke in gun con- tracts and Mariposa stocks, the cotton specula- tions of Greeley, Cullicot, Camp & Co., aswell as the partaers or agent of Senator Sprague, is “not only refreshing, but quite amusing; while the tame reply of the Evening Post and the effort to show that the Navy Agent at this port has nothing to do with the editorial manage- ment of that journal only prove how effective have been the blows of Weed, and how well bis shots have hit the mark. We commend these articles to our readers with the full bellef that they cannot find more profitable and instructive reading than they furnish. Thus far, of all the parties assailed, the Evening Post is the only one that has recovered from the shock sufficient- ly to attempt to reply back. We may expect, therefore, a combined effort on the part ef the other parties at no distant day. This grand expose furnishes an important sequel to events that have transpired in our midst. It reveals to the public the meaning of names that have been bandied by the radicals ever since the commencement of the war. ‘We now know what the editors of the radical journals meant when they called themselves loyal and charged upon everybody who criti- cised their acts and called in question Their schemes as being traitors, We now under- stand that those who publicly boasted: of their loyalty were simply angounocing to the world that they held a fat office, had an interest in guns, clothing, blankets or some army or navy contract; were engaged in cotton or some otber speculation by special privileges under the administration. In calling thelr opponents traitors they simply notified the public that those gen- tlemen held no office, had no interest in any con- tracts, and were not permitted to share in the fat pickings of the government at Washington. After all there is no principle involved in this Cabinet quarrel. It is simply a squabble over the spoils. The friends of each member of the Cabinet are afraid that the friends of the other Secretaries will absorb all the plunder. It re- solves itself into a Kilkenny fight. We hope, for the good of the country, that they will imme- diately eat each other up, and let us see which set have the longest tails. Reported Rebel Raid Inte the Camber- land Vatiey.
