$$$ Feceive! But to ask of me, before the proper time, what was not se; onable, was a vulgar lly, Forme to announce it, to promise it, ould have been taken for verbiage, for gharlatanism, To do so, then, was not my yray. * * * Trepoat, it was necessary for to conquer at Moscow. Pr the same turn of thought, and with ‘his kingly model constantly before him, Na- jeon Ill. may have felt that it was vi- lly necessary for him to have conquered on e Rhine and to have dictated peace at Ber- . Recalling what he had done for the autification of Paris and the extension of ‘rench trade and commerce; for the extinc~ ion of pauperism and the facility of acquiring ‘ homestead by honesty and toil; the cement- 44 of friendly alliances and the progress of colonial dominion; the protection of Turkey jand the liberation of Italy from Austrian and Bourbon predominance; the desire to give France natural frontiers, marked by great hivers and lofty mountain ranges, and, above jpll, his suppression of turbulence and his ‘ sertion of the law’s supremacy, the captive yf Wilbelmshthe may well lament that he bad ot the area, the traditions and the tempera- ent of the United States to deal with in the nd and the people he sought to govern. { Jt wasin turning his face away from the ‘task actually before him at home and in the ‘countries cotermiaous with his own that Na- ‘poleon I. committed his first fatal error, His Pons, costly and futile preparation for the Invasion of England wasted time, energy and means that would have consolidated his dy- asty in France, and England was his execu- ioner at last. It was in his expedition to ‘Mexico and in the consequences which inevi- ‘tably followed it that Napoleon III. lost the Wouble prestige of infallible statecraft and Jmilitary prowess, The march of the grande armée on Russia was a desperate effort to etrieve the follies ef Boulogne; the raid mpon the Rhine was a tardy attempt to replace he laurels lost when the French army that ‘ad enthroned Maximilian re-embarked at ‘Vera Cruz. ' Was there not something in all this which, if amended, in each case, according to the }ptandard of Washingtoa and after the pattern ef America, would have secured a loftier pesult even with that long-suffering family of ‘peoples in Europe upon whom illustrious men ‘who fail find it so easy to cast the blame of their own delusions? To own a fault and tell ‘wherein the error lay, for the benefit of truth \and humanity, is better than to be Prisoned in ermine and a velvet chair. - The Gallic Muses in America. "The proverbial ill wind, which in the present pase has whistled thick with smoke and bullets pver the heads of the devoted Frenchmen, like others, brings good tosome. While Bellona raging with her fire-breathing steeds in very Alangerous proximity to the French capital, we pre told that the terrified Muses in the city, pver inclined to more pacific scenes and vertissements, are picking up what little eae may be left them—and Heaven knows atin that respect they are easily satisfied— ea contemplate a flight to the proud metropolis f the Western Hemisphere. One can readily ae that, being obliged to leave the gay entre of European culture and pleasure, they would very naturally turn their eyes to this eat city, so well known as a liberal patroness es the arts and sciences, and where already puch a constellation of artistic luminaries shed Bround their effulgence. It is surely some- ing to have risen to a foremost rank among 4 cities of the earth, but how much more to pave attained an absolute eminence as the home of talent and merit, and the refuge for Bhe dissatisfied or oppressed elsewhere. New York has ever been foremost in her lberality and appreciation of rey merit, and e distinguished artists who come here from pbroad may expect every attention and patron- . There need be no jealousy either or fear the part of our own artists. The great pulse wf the metropolis, throbbing with coined geld ead greenbacks at the rate of millions a miaute, shows that she has heart and money enough for the Muses of all civilized nations—singing and dancing, sketching and painting together. Where are miles upon miles of naked walls pn the avenue and Murray Hill positively pching in their vacancy, and which their own- prs would probably most willingly cover with eenbacks for the veriest sketch from the ands of some distinguished artist—that is, ways supposing that they have the versa- lity not unknown to many of their profession. \And there is beside these a by no means in- ‘onsiderable number of citizens, who, by a ong familiarity with good works, either of our ‘own or foreign painters, have cultivated and formed an excellent judgment, It is upon this element we shall mainly depend for the coun- racting of an enthusiasm which is apt to run way at times with our sober, reasonable com- on sense, one of our good points, and of hich we have just reason to be proud. Despite the proverbial difficulty of artists getting on well together, there really ought to wonderfal harmony between French and \American painters, for both the two schools nd classes of subjects are so totally different at it would require no ordinary amount of genuity to bring them in conflict. In land- cape we certainly stand unrivalled. In the raceful and delicate ideality of the French we ight take many lessons with great profit. ‘here should thus be a mutual advantage, fhe effect of their tendency to exaggerate phouid only somewhat enlarge our rather too actical method of treatment. Their excel- nce in many respects should stimulate us, (where we are perhaps inferior. We can show them a nature more grand and diversified and ‘eften better interpreted than they generally Bee. y It will not be the first time that foreign artists have been generously received in the \metropolis; and, won by the frank kindness of rother artists and an appreciative public ex- Rending the right hand of fellowship, have been induced to make their home among us, and adopt as their own with pride the nation which has done already so much for the pro- Motion of education, science and the arts. \ Cunrous Past In VEGETABLE CoMMERCE.— |The keeper of ene ef the principal restaurants ps the lower part of the city purchases his upplies of cauliflowers and other fresh voge- ‘tables in England, and after paying freight ‘charges, tariff duties and other expenses, Qetains them cheaper by from fifteen to NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1870.-TRIPLE SHEET twenty per cent than they can be purchased in this market. Our Long Island and New Jersey “garden truck” raisers might make a note of this and govern themselves accerd- jugly. But we suppose that the high rates demanded here on vegetables and other market stuff are the result of a system of speculating er forestalling by “middlemen” that has been allowed to creep into our market, much to the prejudice of consumers. Our Superintendent of Markets should look into this abuse, and ascertain if a corrective cannot be applied. The Women’s Suffrage Movement, The convention of reformers of both sexes which has just been held at Cleveland in the interest of the women’s suflrage movement has proved to be a miserable failure. Some of the old stagers who have figured at like conven- tions for the last two decades were there, and the usual quantity of bickering and squabbling took place, but the exhibition did not draw, the people of Cleveland did not take any inte- rest in the show, and the curtain fell upon a troupe of discontented actors who had failed to attract an audience, and who started to make the best of their way out of a city which failed to appreciate their sublime efforts in the cause of humanity. Our correspondent has hit off lightly the points of the exhibition. The usual weekly gathering of the reforming sister- hood was held in this city yesterday, the say- ings and doings whereat are also recerded in to-day’s Heratp. We give, besides, a letter on the same subject frem that most imprac- ticable of refermers, Mazzini. But the enly real and tangible fact in the whole mevement is the election yesterday of a woman as a member of the School Board in Manchester, England. The telegraph eurtly gives her name and quality as “Lydia Becker—No religion.” Is not that deseription very apt to apply te most of those prefessed reformers whe are so anxious te unsex themselves Bh AxotuER Dope or Tar WHiskey Risa.—A Western paper gives currency to a report that the ‘whiskey ring” will cembine this wiater to induce Congress to raise the tax from fifty cents te one dollar per gallon, The stills have been kept running constantly for mouths, and there is an immense steck on hand, on which the profit weuld be enormous if the tax was increased. When will the country be relieved of the operations of the mammeth combination known as the “whiskey ring?” Its hand is seen in almost everything that comes before Congress, and its teuch is deadly to all public reforms unless its demands are complied with. Tne Avrrace Rate oF TAXATION IN Brooktyn for this year is as high as three dollars and eighty-six cents on every hundged dollars’ worth of taxable property. Owners of real estate in some wards complain, at the same time, that their property has been assessed largely “in advance of last year’s value—in some cases as much as fifty per cent. This is clearly a fictitious increase. Growag as Brooklyn is every day, real estate has net advanced five per cent in the past year. All this looks as though the men who are running the machine of gevernmeat had no permanent interest in the prosperity ef that city, but were making a hasty grab at the spoils. Oxnstrvotine Harsor Navication.—Com- plaints are frequently made to us about the annoyance and delay in the trips of the At- lantic street end Hamilton avenue ferries, occasioned by the long lines of towbeats that are centinually passing and repassing the slips. There is reasoa in all things, and there is no reason why these tows should have entire control of the harber near the ferries dt those hours when thousands of persons are passing to and from their places ef business. The at- tention of Harbor Master Hart is particularly called to this public grievance. Personal Intelligence.

A World's Peace Convention of Women assem- bied in Tremont Temple this evening, with a good attendance, Mis, Julia Ward Howe presidea and addressed the convention, giving her well known views upon the subject of the pacification of the world by the direct intervention of weman. She was follewed by Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney, who said it was ne spirit of cowardice that had led to the convention, for our own country was not threat- ened, and those who attended accepted war bravely When it was forced upon them. They feared to in- Hict war, knowing well the suffering that was causea by it, Evento this day the elfects of the late war were to be seen on every hand in the belligerent propensities of individua’s, Tue abolition of ua- Uonal appeals to arms, she contended, would follow naturally the abolition of such appeals to sustain the eode of honor among individuals. To love your own nation and to haie all other natiens not in pene harmony with yours had been for centuries the universal rule of public sentiment. But peace advocates were now seeking to awaken an international sentiment that would agree te arbitration for the settiement of griev- ances. ‘This principle was now coming in vogue between the employers and employes. There was no reasen why the endeavors of women to aliay suffering on the battle field should not be carried further and aid in the prevention of the causes of that suffering. ‘be mothers who furnished the victims of war had # right to be heard. At the close of Mrs, Cheney’s address the Hon. Henry Wilson, United States Senator from Massa- chusetts, entered the Temple and was urged to take @ seat on the platierm, This he declined to do, and then remarked that if amyihing coald be done by man or woman to make @ public sentiment that would bring te a close the present wicked war in Europe he would be glad of it. Mra. Howe having previously suggested the appeintment of a com- mittee to act with similar cemmittees in other cities, teturther the interests of the New Yerk General Convention, to be held on the 23d of December, Mr. Wilson closed by moving the appolutment of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney and Mrs. Lydia Maria Child as such committe, with power to add to their number, The question was put by the Rev. James Freeman Clarke, and was carried amid much enthustasm. ‘The Convention was then aJjourned, THE NATIONAL IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

Crrcaco, Nov. 25, 1870, The committee appointed by the Natlonai Immi- gration Convention at Indianapolis to memorialize Congress met at the Sherman House in ts city to- day. The resolutions presented to the Convention were taken up, and the following was then dratte In regard to the first two resolutions, your memo- riatisis would present to your honorable bodtes that the Convention whicn we represent embodied deie- gates [rom twenty-two States and one Territory of the Unton, and thai it was composed ina great measure of men who had given much of their tune and attention, both in this country and in Europe, ta the subject of transpocting “emigrants from Europe, ana in placing before you the views of the Convention we would state that emigrants are frequently placed in badly ven- tiated ships, supplied with’ insaMcient food, de- prived of the meaus to secure personal cleantinoss, unprovided with proper medival attendance, and even in vessels Where proper sanitary regulations are enforced the laws of the United States are vio- lated by overcrewding the steerage.

Your memoriailsts cali especial attention to the fact that by far the greater number ef emigranis landing @ OUr Seaports pass over immedisiely to the Western and Southwestern States aad Terri. tories; and that during such transit they are sub- jected to many abuses, such as crowding into cars not sufficiently ventilated, and not afforaed the proper Jaciliiies for obtaining cheap and wholesome fuod and aa adequate supply of water; that they are unnecessarily delayed on the way, being sent by circnitons routes to accommodate certain ‘railroad companies; that they are en- by runners into boarding houses against their Wishes and tnimical to thefr uterests; that they are unable to have their baggage checked through, and that thereby they frequently lose it, aud that they ure insulied by deck Dands and thieves on we river and lake steamers, ‘The annual report of the Commissioners of Emi- gration of the State of New York for the year ending December 31, 1869, corroborates fully the conviction which has been forced upon the minds of tke memo- rialists that 1t has become an imperative duty with the United States government to carry out the objects above recited, anit they respectfully urge that the proposed Convention of representatives of the United States ana for ‘ernments for the better provection of stee ers on the high seas) be =held at ti Hest practicable time, ‘Tho memorialists so call special at- tention = the anneyance and injuries frequently imposed on immigrants by the action of Custom House inspectors, all of which are referred to in the said report of the Commixstouers of Emigration of the State of New York.

The President on the Revival of Amerl- can Commerce, Senator Cameron on Georgia Polities—The Situation Hopeful for the Republicans— Governor Bullock in Training for the Senate, Publication ofthe Agricul- tural Report. WASHINGTON, Novy. 25, 1870, The Presidoni’s Message on tho Kevival of American Commerce, Since the announcement was made that the Preal- dent would probably recommend, in his forthcoming Mesage, the passage of a bill toimport foreign smps free of duty, as he di@ just previous to the close of the last session, several letters have been received from persons in the shipbuilding interests inNow York and elsewhere, protesting against it. ‘They advance no new arguments on the subject, vut Simply say that their business wil! be ruined and that the closing of the shipyards would throw a large number of men out ef employment and create Widespread distress, Even should the President make such a recommendation it is under- stood that the shipbuilding tuterests will unite with the extreme protectiontsts, as they did before, to defeat the measure, A promi- ent protectionist stated to-day that one of the new arguments to be used agatast the project will be the near approach of the close of the war bewween France and Prussia. In the meantime Mr, Lyuch, of Maine, will endeavor to bring up and press the passage of bis bill for the revival of American suip- ping. Senator Cameron on Georgin Politics. Senator Cameron arrived here us morning from Georgla, whither, It is understood, he went to help the republicans to arrange matters so as to carry the State at the approaching election, The Senator says everything now looks very hopeful for a repub- iican victory. Of coarse he disclaims, in his usual modest way, any services ef his own that would bo likely to contribute to the success of the party, The organization 1s very good, and the me bers of it pretty generaily united. Senator Cameron thinks if the full negro vote can be brought out the republicans will have a fair majority, There are some fears, however, that the negroes in the country districts may be kept away from the polls through intimidation. To prevent this the Senator 48 of opinion that @ strong force of troops should pe distributed through the State, This would give courage to the uegro voters, while at’ the same time it would prevent any disorder or outbreak. Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is aiso here, and had an Interview with the President, as did also Senator Cameron. It 1s understood that both gentle men ex- pressed their views of the situation in Georgia to the President, and urged the poltcy of having a sul- fleent military force in Georgia to protect all the Tegal voters, £ As already indicated in these despatches, the Pre- sident, through tis Secretary of War, has ordered that addidonal troops be sent to Geor- gia, to remain until after the election Shoula the republicans carry the Legislature Gover- nor Bullock will be a candidate for the United Staves Senate, and the chances ure that he will be elec- ted. The success of the republican party in Georgia will naturally strengthen the position of Atterney General Akerman—who 1s from that State—in the Cabinet, That genticman, therefore, 18 very solicit~ ous for the success of the party. Payment of Census Marshals—Astonishing Development ef Southern Loyalty. The clerks in the office of the Fifth Auditor are busily engaged im examining the accounts of the census marshals for labor revently periormed, and the system adopted of paying one half of the ac- count on presentation bas thus far worked very well. The appropriation, however, of $1,000,000 for this purpose is insuillcient, and Congress will be called upon to supply a deficiency of perbaps several hun- dred thousand dollars. When the accounts have been rendered and passed apon by the Filth Auditor it is designed to pay the other haif of the account, but this will not be done until the first half has peen paid allround. It willtake about a year to com- plete these returns, and in the final settlement of the acceunts they will be disposed of, as far as prace ticable, by States, in their alphabetical order. Many of the assistant marshals are disgusted with the amount allowed them and have, in some cases, taken steps to secure from Congress additional compensation. The Fifth Auditor is also in receipt of a number of claims from the Southern assistant marshals who were engaged in taking the eighth census, but whose accounts have been sus- pended since 1861, when the rebellion broke out. There are some nine hundred of these claims to be settled, tor which Congress made a suificient appro- Priation at its iast session. The ciaimant, however, 1s required to take an oath prescribed by the Secretary of tne Interlor, in form very much ihe same as the “tren-clad oath,” and it is remarked as somewhat surprising that there were so many loyal men in the South left unpaid. There does not seem to be any trouvle in taking the oath, and 16 may be that of the entire number to be settled with not one will be left unpaid. The claim agents are reaping a harvest in the prosecution of their busi- ness in this direction, and as there is me limit to their fees, in some cases they tax their clieats one- half. New Business Regulations of the War Depart- ment. Some time ago the Secretary of War appointed a board of officers and experts to examme into the present methods of keeping the records and trains- acting the clerical business of the War Depart- ment, The board having completed its Inbors and made a report, extracts from the document are now published, with the approval of the Seeretary of War, for the guidance of the several bureaus and oficers of departinents on and after the 1st day of January, 1871. The instructions and forms now pre- scribed, and @ strict observance ef which will be required, are designed and expected to do away with much unnecessary labor to the clerks, expense to the department and inconvenience to the public—- in a word, to dispense as much as possible with “rea tape.”” The Agricultural Report. The report of the Coinmissioner of Agriculture, which makes a bound volume of seven hundred pages, with numerons filustrations, has just been issued from the Government Printing OMce. Con- gress, in July last, ordered 220,000 extra comes of the report to be printed for disiripution by the House, Senate and Commissioner of Agriculture, Irregularities in the Buffalo Custom House, In consequence of the reported irregularities at the Custom House at Puttalo, R. H. 'T. Leopold, acting special agent of the Treasury Department, has, at the direction of Secretary Koutwell, taken charge of the Custom House and depository at that place, and entered upon a thorough examination of the books of the several offices.

Cabinet Meeting. The session of the Cabinet to-day wes protracted untlt@ lav hour, All the members were presemt ex- cept Postinaster General Oresweil. The Presidents Message, which, it 8 understood, will be somewhat extended this year, was the principal topic of dis- cussion. The President instructed Seeretary Delano, tm furtherance of his Indian poltey, to have surveyed the land ceded to the Creek and Seminole Indians, and the Cherokes country west of the ninety-afxth degree of longitude, with the view of designating for each Indian fami y tts individual tract of land. 16 4s considered that the Indians will take more tm- terest in What they will then possess than they otherwtse could, and that they wilt naturally feel more interestea in the cal tivation of the soil they can cail thetr own. The questions of who shall be Commissioner of Interaaljtevenue, Commissioner of Patents, and who shall succeed Commissioner Wilson, of the Land Of Mee, Were not discussed.
