The Plucky Pedestrian Again at His Test of Strength and Endurance. Edward Payson Weston, the well-known pedes- trian who has again undertaken to perform the hitherto unaccompilshed feat of walking 500 miles within six consecutive days, com- mencea his task this morning at the Hippodrome at five minutes past twelve o’clock, The track upon which the walk is,mude 13 situated about the centre of the outside or running track, and measures exactly one-seventh of a mile around, requiring seven circuits to be walked ior each mile, 700 tor 100 miles and 3,500 | for the entire distance of 500 miles. In order that | no question shall arise as to this measurement City Surveyor Smith has given his certificate that the distance 1s as above, he having surveyed and laid it out in the presence of the judges. Weston, as he came up to the starting post to start on his | long journey, was dressed in the old familiar black velvet jacket, knee breeches, laced-up boots and spring leggings of black patent leather; wearing, too, @ biue ribbon sash over the left | shoulder, the gift of some o! his lady frienas. He appeared to be tn good condition and spirits, and is confident of success, He expects to make over 100 miles by midnight, when he will take a sleep for about four hours and get to work again. A considerable number of spectators were as- sembled in the buiding to witness the start, | among whom were noticed Drs, Doremus, Taylor, | Bogg and Goodwillie, Warden Brennan and sev- | erai ladies. The large centre enclosure has been thrown open for a promenade, which will greatly tend to the comiort of visitors. Just previous to the start Weston received @ package, which, on being opened, was found to contain an elegant smoking cap f.om Mr, E, A. Sothern, who hac written on the card, in his usual terse way, ‘Weston, wear vhis On your next struggle.” THE START. As time was called Weston, who was already in Waiting, started off at an easy gait and with @ smile and a joke to all his friends, who were present in goodly numbers. | The first circuit he made in im. 9s. the nextin Im. 66s,, the third in 1m, 648., the fourth in. 1m. 45s., the fifth in 1m. 42s., the sixth in 1m. 413. | and the seventn in 1m. 42s,, thus making the total for the first mile 10m. 498.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 1874. Conflict Between the War Department and the Department of Justice as to the Moving of Troops—Whoe is to Pay the Expenses!—A Point Raised by | General Emory—Sentiments of the President. There 1s already a conflict between the War De- | partment and the Department of Justice in regard to carrying out the instructions of the Attorney | General in making requisition for troops to serve asa posse comitatus in the South. In Louisiana General Emory has been ready to respond to the requisition of Marshal Packard, but contends that | When United States troops, in time of peace, are ordered to assist the law officers of the govern- ment, the Department of Justice should detray the expenses of transportation, as the duty performed ig not strietly within the army appropriation provided by Congress, The Attorney § Gen- eral replies that he has no funds for | such purpose and if it is to be a question of dollars and cents the services of the army will be lost. The point ratsed by General Emory, com- manding the Department of the Gulf, is regarded as | well taken. Tae intent ot the law is evidentiy that government troops are never to be moved at | the willof a civil officer, and the expenses tn- | curred inthe movement of troops at all times | must be tn accordance with orders from the War | Department. The tyestigation into the Louisi- ana troubles in 1873 developed the fact that the ex- | Pense incurred in moving a company of troops from the barracks to New Orleans, although but a coupie of miles distant, was illegal, as it was charged to the army, and the movement made was at the request of the United States Marshal. Marshal Packard, at that time, detrayed the ex- pense of the street car fare out of his own pocket, | The question as to who will defray the expense | is one that the Secretary of War does not care to | bring before Congress in the way of a deficiency | appropriation. It has been agreed, however, | that all the troops that can be spared from the fortifications shall be distributed at | designated points in the South, and the ar- | Ullery companies at Pensacola armed with the best rifles will shortly be ordered to New Orieans. The President, it 1s understood, now regrets that he did not heed the appeals of | those who have his confidence, and have carried into eflect several months ago what in his opinion is Dow a necessity. He thinks it would have been better to have averted the troubles than to now require the army to assist in bring{ng to justice lawiess parties whomisconstrued what was only | intended as kindtiéss-and good will on his part to- ward the South, The Pablication of the Laws of Con- g@ress—An Unexplained Delay. Although the laws of Congress were printed at the government printing ofMice as fast as they | were approved by the Fresident during the session | ot Congress, nearly three months have elapsed and yet no index has been prepared or volume of the laws published accessible to the public. By the act of June 20 the contract with Little & Brown, of Boston (by Which the issue was required to bo made in seventy days), was discontinued and the | Secretary of State charged with the publication ; and distribution o/ the Revised Statutes.

GUIZOT. Death of the Eminent French Statesman and Historian. |HIS LIFE AND SERVICES The Funeral To Be Strictly Private. Panis, Sept. 13, 1874 Frangois Pierre Guillaume Guizot, the eminent statesman and writer, died to-day at his residence, Valricher. He will be buried in St, Ouen’ Cemetery. The funeral will be strictly private and un- ceremonious, in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. Sketch of the Deceased Statesman’s Life. The eminent statesman and historian, Frangois | Pierre Guillaume Guizot, whose death is an- nounced by the cable, was born at Nimes, in the French Department of Gard, on the 4th of October, 1787, He was descended from an ancient Prot estant family that had long been settied in the south of France, vocate, incurred the displeasure of the mob and fella victim to their hate on the 8th of April, 1794. Left with two children, his widowed mother re- moved from her native town to Geneva, where she had some relatives. Here greater opportunt- ties were afforded for the education of her children. EDUCATION. Young Frangqs, who was destined to play 80 | important a part in the affairs of his country, Was early entered at the Gymnasium of Geneva. Here he made rapid progress in his studies, and soon showed that he was possessed of rare mental powers. The Greek, Latin, German, English and Itahan languages were successively acquired, and | in 1805 the promising student proceeded to Parts for the purpose o1 studytog jurisprudence, the law schools having been reopened in 1804. On his ar- Tival in that city he abandoned the intention of studying law and accepted the offer of a tutorship | in the family of Mr. Stapfer, who had been for many years Ambassador from Switzeriand to France. By this gentieman he was first intro- duced to M. Guard, in whose reception rooms he had the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Many Of the most distinguished characters of the times, BEGINS HIS LITERARY CAREER. These associations, no doubt, influenced greatly the direction of his talents, and in 1309 we find him publishing his first work, an unambitious dictionary of Synonyms. This work was, however, soon followed bya “Life of the French Poets,’’ anda translation of Gibbon's ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” with notes by the editor, which at once vrought the young author into During many years Guizot was @ dis- tinguished contributor to the periodical literature of the day, and his “Annals of Education,” whica extend from 1811 to 1813, fill six octavo volumes. He had already acquired celebrity when | M. de Fontanes appointed him to the assistant professorship of history in the University of Paris in 1812, Not iong after. ward he was given the chair of modern mstory, a post for which his acquirements eminently fitted | him. in connection with this appointment a cir- cumstance occurred which reflected credit both on the Professor and the government. M, Guizot’s antagonism to Napoleon [. was well known, and an effort was made by M. Fon- tanes to induce him to’make compitmentary ref- erence to the Emperor on the occasion of his inaugural address, but Guizot peremptorily re- fused, offering his resignation, Fontanes did not press the point, aad during his first course of tec- tures Guizot carefully avoided = menttun- ing the Emperor's name. In spite of the irequent remonstrances of Fontanes he persisted in this course, because it was in keeping with his convictions or nis prejudices. The hostility he manifested to the House of Bona- parte did not cease with the fall of Napoleon L—to whom Guizot never spoke—but was actively displayed against the government of Louis Napoleon, voth as President and Emperor, A short time after tae coup d'état he published a pamphiet—directed against the President—under the utle, “Should Cromwell Be King t” But despite all opposition the future hero of Sedan was al- lowed to assume the purple, foolish people hoping ; to find in the nephew of Napoleon lL. a protection from the dangers of a republic. How bitterly France bas paid for that error of judgment all the world knows, HIS MARRTAGS In the winter of 1812 Guizot married Mile. Pauline de Meulan, a@ lady of ancient family who had been ruined by the Revolution, and who sup- ported herself and other members of ber family by contributions to the press, Aithough she was considerably Older than her husband, she exercised over bim much influence auring her ivetime, and at her death selected her own aiece a8 ner suces- sor, a choice that a few years later Guiggt ratified by leading the tady to the altar, ENTERS POLITICS, ‘The political life of Guizot began in 18145 with the restoration of Louls XVIIL, which ogcurred during his absence from Paris, while on a visit to his mother, who had returned to her native town o! Nimes. The young proiessor owed his appoint- ment Ww the active iriendsiip of M. Beret uat jon- tesquieu, then Minister of the Luterior, who ap- pointed him nis secretaire-géndral, His first term of office was, Lowever, destined to be of short du- ration, a§ the sudden return of Napoleon irom Kiba displaced him from his situation, and he resumed his position as proiessor in the Sorbonne. Alter the second restoration of Louis XVIIL Guizot was appointed secretaire General to the Minister of Justice, but the man- per in which he discharged the duties of this office | caused great dissatisfaction among the extreme royalists. His first political pampniet, Du Gouv- ernment Representas ec De Verat uel de la France, was written in detence of constitutional monarchy, @ form of government which he con- sistently advocated through life, His ideal gov- ernment was modelled on that oi England be.ore the Keiorm vill, He would have the goverumeat ‘ responsivie to the representatives of the guvern- ing Ciasses; but was strongly opposed to the ad- mission of the people to a share in the govern- ment, and steadiy tought against the extension of electoral rights, even to the middie classes, His idea was to Consolidate the government in the hands of the intelligent classes, excluding the mile jioas from all voice in the national counc He based bis opposition to the admission the people to @ share in the government on the ground of their want of education, He defended the cause of public instruction from the attacks of | the Jesuits in an able “Essay on Pubiic instruc- tion,” published in 1816, From this period nis political advancement was rapid, and tn 1818 he | was named Counseliter d’Etat. While Mons. De- cazes Was Minster of the Interior-an ofice was specially /ormed jor himin the Communal admin- istration of the department, DRIVEN FROM OFFICE. The reactton caused by the assassination of the Duc de Kerri, on the 14th of Fevruary, 1820, re- stored the ascendancy of the ultra-royalists, and Decazes, Royer-Collard, Guizot and their constitu- tional friends, who had become knuwn as the Dooc- trinaires, Were driven irom oiice, During the years 1820-22 Guizot conducted an active pamphiet- vering War against the administration of Mons, Vulele, aud in 182) published a work which may be looked on as the ¢xXposition of his own poutical principies. Crowded audiences attended his lec- tures at the Sorbonne, but, his tree expression or opinion giving offence to the government, lis lectures were suspended, He then leit the field of politics for @ short time and re- sumed his historical researches, In the interval between 1822 and 1327 he published @ “Collection of Mewoirs Relating to the History of the French Revolution,” says on the History of France,"’ the first part of his ‘History of the Engilsh Kevolo- tion’? and his “Historical Essays on Shakespeare.’’ He aiso established the Rerue Francaise, and was one o! the founders of the society called Aide-tol, Je ciel taidera (Heip yoursell and Heaven will help you), the object of which waa to secure Ireedom of election, The Ministry of M. Martignac allowed him to resume his lectures at the Sorbonne in 1828. They soon became popular, pb apg | large audiences, but they occupied much of his time from 1828 to 1830, RETURNS TO OFFICR.

Having largely contributed to bring abont the Tevojution of 1430 which drove Charles X. from the | throne and gave to France her first citizen king, | Louis Paiuppe, the commission which sat in the Hotel de Ville after the tamous days of July named him Minister of Public Instruction, ‘and | the tollowing day appointed him Mintsver of the Interior, The ordinatces of November 2, of the same year, put an end to his Ministry, and he went into opposition, On the fall of bis successor, Lafvee, he gave his support to Casimir Perier. When Mar- shal Soult came into power on the 11th of Octover, 1832, Guizot was given the portiolio of Puolic In- struction, and during his Ministry many important | reforms were carried out, The law of the 2th of | June, on primary education, which he prepared, | Caused the estabiishment witiin a very brief period Of Dine thousand Village schools for the instruction ©: the poor. This Ministry was dissolved on the 22d of February, 1836, but Gutzot was recalled to oMice under tie Ministry of M. Mole, whicn suc- ceeded, He was reappointed to his jormer office. Under the Ministry of M. Thiers he was sent, to | London as Ambassador, but the treaty which he | | conciuded July 14, 1540, gave great dissatisiaction | in France, THE MINISTRY OF GUIZOT. The dissolution of the Thiers Ministry on the 29th of October, 1540, recalled Guizot to power.

Always @ man of system, he now, as Foreign Minister, devoted ali bis efforts to estavlishing good intelligence with the otner Powers of Burope; and though great exceptions | may be taken to some points in Bis policy, ne suc- ceeded, in the face of a powerful and unscrupulous Opposition, in stamping his own image on the acts of the remainder of Louis Philippe’s reign. Guizot found many aificulties when he took | | oMce, Thiers had brought every department of administravion ioto confusion. Immense supple- | Meutary credits had deranged the Mhances. the | public securities had rapidly sunk under the | menacing aspect of the foreign relations of France. A warlike, irritated sptrit prevailed, sedulousiy fostered by @ portion of the English press, and by | the acts and language of Lord Palmerston. In | | fact, war was lmminent, and the opposition in the Chamber regarded with the greatest jealousy the slightest concession to the ideas or prejudices of England, HE AVERTS WAR, The catastrophe of a European war was rted by the temperate policy of Louis Philippe, carried | out by Guzot. It may be guessed how unpopular this task was ol stilligg and calming down this flery national ardor in France, forever bolling | | lorth in fresh ebullitions. But Guizot’s energy and | talent, great as they were would have tailed to accompilai this had it not been for the high mili- ary reputation of Soult, who presided over the Cabinet, The veteran Marshal, who had reorgan- ized the army, could hardly be supposed Ww be guilty of unworthy compliances to foreign nations. | Soult, then, supported the pacific system by his | name, while Guizot descended into the arena of debate, and did battle against turious factions. So passed 1841-’2 But some concessions to popular prejudices were obliged to be made. One | was Thiers’ project of enclosing Paris in a con- | tinuons line of fortifications, which remain a lat | Ing monument of the vanity and passions of a party, and cost the oation at least 6,000,000, The Tight of search question and Tahiti again roused | the spirit of war and of hatred to England; and | we must admire the dexterity with watch Guizot engaged in the debates on these difficult topics. | His debating talent was sharpened by prac- | tice and rose with the occasion for its display, Thiers and O, Barrot came out with great effect in opposition, and Lamartine delivered tn- | teresting tuough not very practical discourses on the destinies o1 the Kast and the iuture of | Europe. it was a@ time of gieat political activity | and distinguished parliamentary eloquence. The bourgeoisie, grateful for the revival of credit | when the war alarms had subsided, rallied round | | the Ministry in the elections of 1842, and Guizot | found himself less dependent on the caprices of the majority. The prosperity of Louis Philippe’s family, to Which Guizot was sincerely attached, | received a check by the sad death of the Duc d’Or- | leans—an event of importance at the King’s age, as involving the probability of a regency.’ SETTLES THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. Fighteen hundred and forty-three was a year of | consolidation, ‘The right of search question was | sertied, and Mehemet Ali’s installation ina he- | reditary pachalic was the final solution of the Eastern question, wiich had so nearly plunged Europe in war, Since 1840, when this question was the pivot on which all the poley of the government turned, discussions on for- eign affairs had acquired a higher in. terest. Lamartine now separated himself from the conservatives; he attacked the | zovernment tn the debates on the address, and, | aiter reviewing bis own past career as asup- porter of Mol, be passed formally into the ranks of the opposition. In a speech, delivered tn a loity manner and adorned by poetic imagery, he ar- raigned the false policy of successive Ministries | aud proclaimed himself an apostie of progress. | ‘This deiection produced some sensation, and alter- | wards, when discredit Was thrown, by the corrup- | | tion of certain functionaries, on the whoie system | | of government, it was remembered shut tne Dep- | uté for Macon bad announced hil a3 the nar- | binger of a new cra. HIS ADMIRATION FOR ENGLAND. One thing 18 very striking in wnese debates—it is the ‘eariess energy with which Guizot declares his ! convictions. Thus he praises Engiand as at once the ireest and most conservative country of Ku- rope—a declaration followed by a storm and loud cries of “Down with the Min- | ister of foreign Interests!” There is 6 igh eloquence in the debates at this pe- riod, and vot press and tribune, though often | abused, reflect great lustre on the latter years of | Louis Philippe’s*reign. The period trom’ 1844 to 1847 was one of commercial Prosperity, degenerat- tng into reckless speculation, ‘Enrich your seives” was the watchword given by public men to their followers and friends, These latter were nowise slow in obeying the injunction. In the | pursuit of fortune, principle, nonor and public | virtue were too often lost sight of, and the public | confidence im the conservative autaurity Of gov- ernment was shaken. THE SPANISH MARRIAGE. Meanwhile Guizot pursued his triumphant career. Kresh elections increased his majority, and the King treated him with the most fatter- ing confidence, Un bis part the Minister zealously seconded Louis fee 4 schemes for the aggran- dizement of iistamily. Of these the most notable | was the marriage of his youngest son with the In- Janta Of Spain in 1846, thougat by the French Ministry to be @ political combination of the deep- est policy. The lapse of years has shown the ‘Spanish marriages” to be barren of result, ex- | Ceps personally in giving @ rich establishment +o the Duc de Montpensier. Their immediate effect was (0 replace the cordtal ieeltug, which for some years had existed between France and England, by a visibie coolness, This was chiefly felt in the personal relations of the respective sovereigns, which, by the mutual visits at Eu and Wtndsur in 1844, had @ttaimed a@ hign pitch o! cordiality and trleadship. OPPOSED TO REFORM. The year of scarcity—1846~7—did not render the government unpopular in France. It was iwilowed | by @ ue harvest, good vintage and general abun- dance. Nothing, in fact, betokened the fall of a | dynasty; and bow could it? For that catastrophe | was the result of an imprudence not | to be looked for ta ordinary — calcuia- | tons. There were murmurs against official | corruption, [rom which Guizot (now the head of | | the Cabinet by Soult’s retirement) was personally | exempt; but the Majority was compact in the Chambers—and the Minister saw in chis the triumph of his system, That system had matured | 1tself Into @ most uuscrupulous use of patronage to control the electors, and the most moderate measures of reform, even the addition of a few of the educated classes to the electoral body, which numbered about 260,000, were obstinately re- | pulsed Cotnctdent with this the hosts of govern- ment functionaries, disciplined ike ao army, it is said outnumbered the electors. This anomalous system, in @ country possessing 85,000,000 inhab- ifants, was justified by the philosophic Minister on | the grounds that the nation was not ripe for | change and from the remote chance of an uncon- trolled democracy obtaining coutrol of she elec. torai colleges.

He was too conscientious wo seil his couvictions for place or power, and during the long reign of Napoicon Ill. he lived in reture- ment, chiefly occupied with bis literary labors. He was 4 strong opponent of the Empire, but pre- ferred even imperialism to the dangers of repub- lican eXperiments, During tie twenty years Napoleon ruled France Guizot only mes him to speak with tour times. His latter years were de- vowed to the prosecution of his Mterary labors, In 1852 he added to nis ‘History of the Eugish Revolution” a “History of Oliver Cromwell,'’ and completed the work in 1856 by the publicatiol of “Richard Cromwell and the Restorauioa Charles IL." All these works have been transe lated into English, as well ag his ‘“£istortcal Studies on Washington,” ‘Shakespeare and His Works,” and many volumes written on miscel- laneous subjects. After the fall of the Empire Guizot was brought before the public in a Very paiorul man- ner. During the Commune papers were discovered which showed that his son had been presented with a sum of 50,000f. by the Emperor Napoleon, The venerable statesman was shocked at this discovery, and, in order to be able to pay back to the Empress the sum advanced to his som witnout his knowledge, M. Guizot so.d Maurilo’s “Iniant Shepherd,’ which had been presented to him by the Queen ‘of Spain on the occasion of the Duke of Montpensier’s marriage. The Empress declined to receive back the money on the ground that it was given, nos lent; but Guizot tmmedie ately took legal steps to compel its acceptance, so that his gon might be relieved from She debwy Much sympathy was felt for the aged statesman, who had won by his unswerving atta.nment to principle, ag well as by bis commanding geulus as a writer and thinker, the respectiul admiration of the world. His latter years were spent in the retirement of his home, surrounded with bis books and {riends— the most distinguished men of all parte: His. house, situated in the Rue de l’Oratoire, was sim- ply furnished in the English manner—without luxury. PORTRAIT OF GUIZOT. Small, thin and trailin body, he appeared thin- ner from the habit of wearing & long brown freck 5 | coat. In the lappel of his coat he wore the ribbom of the Legion d’Honneur. His hair was silvered, the face full of life and brightness, with dark gray eyes that looked earnestly at you from under bis biack velvet skull cap. A dry man of earnest mind, keen rather than wide, without the slightest trace of humor. An admirable face, sculptured by time, that had hollowed wrinkles there, and stamped It with an incomparable ex- pression of strength and energy. It was tmpossi- | dle to avoid a respectial astonishment at tie signt. of that long, thin, austere head, that domineering look, that small, severe and disdainfal mouth, His voice was superb, harsh and biting, accentu- ating words and giving them an extraordinary jorce. His gestures hard and commanding; his hand, striking at almost regular intervals on the desk, to a certain extent modulated the sentence and deepeued the impression upon the mind, Such was the great man who hag passed away, after & Ufetime epent in useiul toil. Whatever judgment may be passed on his political career, he haa estab- Ushed lasting claims on the gratitude of thinking men by the many works of deep historical research. which he bequeathed to humauity.
