Past ts net weil cleared out we shall hear of it. There are many Frenchmen, we know, who think that the empire has been expensive. It has spent money, but it has not reduced taxation, Ministers under the new régime are to be questioned. If (he past is not to be blamed it will be allthe beiter for the past, and it will not bo the worse for the present ahd the future. On the whole it is our opinion that Napoleon has done well, His very latest speech has produced “an unusually favorable effect” on the Bourse, the quotations remaining firm and transactions active at the close yes- terday. The formation of the new Cabinet has had a very excellent effect in Paris, and even the radical journals applaud the imperial | policy, and almost express the words that the | ruler is himself again. If the Parliament can do better than this it will be all right, More Murders and Mysteries. The record of horrors served up in one issue of the daily press gives an appalling view of the state of socioty we present, with morality and early training gone to the dogs, as they are, and all onr preachers and teachers dis- cussing philosophical and wsthetical principles and problems. In one issue we had the story of an {rishman in Hartford who tried to kill his wife with an axe; of a man in Bangor who shot a woman four times with a revolver; of ® man at Sleepy Hollow who varied the enter- tainment of his dinner party by shooting two men, his guests, and beating his wife to death with the butt of his gun; of a policeman shot in the street in this city; and of the Elizabeth street tragedy, with ifs strange murder and suicide, Only the two cases of accumulated Savagery are difficult of comprehension. No satisfactory explanation seems forthcoming of the crime at Sleepy Hollow, and this very want of @fparent motive at once throws the £4 thtg that largely inereaging class attri~ a om a alee but teat can account for an outburst of savage fury that drives a man to butcher all the members of his dinner party? Well, then, was the German up fu Fiizabeth street insane also? His fary was no Texg incongistent, ag ho took the life of the woman he is supposed to have loved, and then killed himself, perhaps, because he would not bein the world without her. It is thought that jealousy may have led to this, and if it prove otherwise this crime also will be set down to insanity. Itis an uncomfortable re- flection for people who would be safe that this sort of insanity so often gives its first mani- festation with a revolver, Tur Game Cook Sratg.—South Carolina was the first State to secede and the first to pitch in for a grand civil war. Like an honor- able adversary, when fairly conqnered, she has succumbed and been an exemplary mem- ber of tie Union ever since the disputed ques- tion was settled under the Appomattox apple J tree. Determined to be right in all things, she sets a good example in the matter of her public debt, which, being contracted before } the war, ought, in her opinion, to bear interest | in gold.

ELECTION HUDDLE AT FLUSHING, The Justice of the Pence in Charge of the Biection Gives a Certificate and then Wishes to Change—Swears on the Stand that He Was induced to Give It Through Fuise Rep- resentations. On the 6th of last December a charter election was heid in Flushiog, at which John Robmson, William Phiip and Daniel Fogetty were supposed to have been elected Trastees of the village, Daniel Fogerty recerving four wore votes thau Robert fs. Parsons. ‘The number of votds cast Was announced at the end he canvass. W. H. 1). Nimma, Clerk of t! lage, who acted ex oficto aa inspector of election, the day after alleges that on examinauon of the tally ists he discovered a mistake tn tie footing of ten votes in favor of Fogerty. ‘This repre. sentation and an examination of the lists seemed to have decied the judge to give the cert! cate to Robinson, Phillips and Parsons. Lasi Satur- day, at the organization of the new Koard of Trus- tees, the Clerk was arrested for refusing to acknow- ledge Fogorty a4 one of the elected trustees, ‘Tho examination of Nimmo, the clerk, was held last eventog, before Justice Silliman, at the Town Hall, Ove of the witnesses placed on the stand by the prosecution waa Justice Quarterman, woo swore to the fact of having mude ou the first certificate four days after the law directs It shall be fled, and then only after Captain Nimmo, the Clerk, came Biter it, “He alleges that Nimmo, after showing him the mistake, made false representations as to wiat the other inspector, Thomas Lawrence, would do, and consequently was influenced to issue thie certif- cate, He swears further that, after signing this certificate he called on Mr. Lawrence and then discovered that there had been no mistake; that he had had an’ interview. with the connsel of Fogerty, at which Fogerty was present, gnd that it was then detepmined bo issue the aecond certilicate of elec- tion, annulltng, a6 he supposed, the former one. ‘The people of Flushing are much exerctsed about the mater.

The French Theatre in Its French Glory. The Gaslight Gayoties of Paris in New York—Faces Veiled and Pretty Fig- ures Displayed a la Suex Canal Fetes, “On with the dance, let joy be uncondned; No check til! mora when youth and pleasure meer,'? ‘The opéra bouge ball at the French theatre last evening was the great event in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue, The bouge bull ts the legiiimate sequel to the Louse opera; but atut “they manage these things better in France.'* Manhattan Island, first settled by the Mohawk Indians under a charter from the Cardut giant, was eventually, tn the course of the thirty years’ war, taken by the Dutch tm @ oight attack by sea through Hell Gate. Next the islaud was taken and settled by the English, then by tie Irish, then by the Germans, then by the Italians, and lastly by the French, under Offenbach, Bateman and Grau. But the French occupation, like that of Mexico, against all these diverse elements, is an up- bill enterprise, although with a little help from our new democratic Legisiature and the Americus Club it may prosper, The bal dopera boufe 1s as yet, however, a tender exotic in Gotham, not quite aa well acctt- mated a4 Jobn Chinaman, New York, in undertak- ing to play Paris, has as much to forget as to learn; bat still 1 is evident, from this last night's bail, that there are materials enough in the city for a pretty fair tmitation, with a auMcient police force on guard, of the gay nocturnal reveiries of the gay capital of Christendom, At half-past ten o'clock, on passing tirough the mass meeting of the indes- cribable elements gathered outside to welcome the errival of “the prety girls in their Black Crook dresses,” the HB@aLD reporter was ushered into the parquet (9 Gee the opening. Some half dozen pretty WPT m wasks and short jackets and very short pants, the pants belug shortened in proportion to the: beauty of the leg, marched with thelr attending beaux around the spacious flooring (which extended from the pour of te stage bail way over the par- quet) to the royal music of Gatire’s splendid band, while the parquet seats reserved for the ‘dookers ow iy Vienna” were only thinly occupied by strange looking men, some in fancy costumes and masks, ani woman here and there with a torent mak Sad _p astacnment or wa, of policemen on every —* aut yd the boxes above. But by eleven ~ ‘lock the floor was filled with dancers, as if the waco company of “Genevieve de Brabant,” ‘Pluto,’ the “Devil's Auction,” @ parade of fantasticals, a Ger- man picnic and a French concert had been mingled together. The formidable array of poltcemen, scat- tered about im squads all over the house, looked somewhat suggestive; but the general deportment of the merry dancers promised at near miamght the Maintenance of decorum tbrottghout the jolly festi- val. ‘The following was the OMDER OF DANCING, 1.

The fair creatures, in- deed, on emerging from the carri and in runuing the gauntiet of the passage kept open to the door by the knignts of the locust, were by the unruly barbarians of the crowd welcomed too often with exclamatious of derision which it woukd not 40 to put in print; bul, peradventure, the unfortunate hourts were fanuilar with such badi- nage. and thought tt complimentary. ‘the Aumper of wiute ticads and bald pates and dyed whiskers among the spectators tuside was likewise remark- able, and calculated to awaken serious reflections.. Up to midnight, however, very few of our city fathers, or judges, or of the Board of Education, or Charities and Correction, &c., uf any, were visible in the house, which was somewhat consoling, for the general Impression left upon the thoughtful mind by the carousal was that its temptations, how- ever delusive, were exceedingly ed to judge and jury. What happened after midnighs, when the supper and the champagne were added to the exhilarations of the occasion, this reporter did not wait to see; but there Was a strong assurance of continued law and order in the tormidabie body pre- sent of the guardians of society and decorum, A celebrated traveller, Mr. Constantin, was recently the victim of @ murderous attack white travelling by rail from Marseilles to Paris.
