A REMARKABLE PREDICTION. A Paris correspondent reports to the New York Times the following remarkable prediction, in regard to the future ol Europe, uttered by M. THIEKS, the French statesman, at a'receut conference with some of hie constituents: Europe in marchiiiK toward llio Republic; but you vomiK men must not deceive your' 'livtho faults of Governments wlncli people calling themselves civilized. What a terrible testimony is this to the barbarous spirit that is begotten by every specie! of slavery? The American Minister forwarded this address to j. Eoss Browne, our Minister iu China, who presented it to Prince Kung, assuring him' of the readiness of our government to assist in any reason- i able effort to onitigate the horrors of the Coolie traffic, and to ameliorate the condition of tho poor sufferers in Peril.

The Prince replied to Mr. Browne in a very complimentary note, thanking him for tho interest he had taken in the matter, and requesting him to ask the American Minis- tor in Lima to interest himself in behalf of tho complaining Coolies. Our Ministers have in this case done good service in the cause of humanity. This Coolie traffic, as now carried ou, is little loss horrible, than the African slave trade, and it is the duty of the maritime nations to unite to stop it altogether, or so to regulate it that all cruelty and injustice can be speedily punished. we're to embark 7 at Macao or Kumsipg-moon (the anchorage north of Macao.) The contract was made at that time between the parties, the stipulations of which were fully pointed ontand can still be But who would even have supposed that It would be thus perverted and altered? Within the post twenty years not-less-than'seve- ral tens of thousands of' men have successively come to this port, who requested and have sought for employment.and protection, who have been engaged in pasturing cattle and feeding horses, as their masters have directed them, or, have tilled 'the' lands and dug wells in compliance with their orders.

Their toil "has not morning or evening, and they have had no rest either in cold or heat. These we'know very well are the conditions on which we obtain our food and clothing, and does any one suppose that we are unaware of the obligations that belong to those men who us On the of that and were ready at all times to furnish one to half a dozen bodies or young, male or female.

The case referred to was carefully suppressed at the 1 time; bnt years have passed since then, and the facts can now be made public without confidence or wounding the sensibilities of friends.

The temper of tbe French people of late has undoubtedly had much lo do iu bringing the old statesman to the formation of the opinion which he expresses.

Ho tbe condition of France, at this time when he iipeaks of the blending of social and political problems. It is this blending of all problems connected with the political and social life of the French people which makes their present condition one of uncertainty, and which impresses us with the fear that little good will come from the present attempts for the formation of a more liberal government. Napoleon grau.lt; the reforms proposed under mcutul protest, and any hesitancy on the part of the pec- pie to systematize and profit by the advantages which they have gained, (which hesitancy may be exhibited because the liberals are not fully agreed ns to what they want), will bo upon by the Emperor as a pretext for recovering all the ground he has been fcrccd to yield. The bloody transition period predicted may come, in France, bnt in other countries we'sec no cause for apprehending that change of the form of government, if it will be attended by terrible physical Great reforms have been accomplished in England without organized war, and with very little of riotous demonstrations; and we believe that whatever changes occur in the future will bo brought about iu tbe same way. The tbe future, says Thiers, is to be based upon republicanism.

We believe that tho predictiou will prove true; but what say the in New York to this heresy from the stronghold of imperialism, Franco? SOT A "HUMBUG." Among all the humbugs connected with politics, there is 110110 greater than the clamor thiit the conduct of public affairs HUouhl be Ukcu out of tlie bande of tbe politicians. The politicians are really the only clasH'of men thoroughly qualified to hold ro- Hponoiblo political pnvitions. By politicians wo do not menu men whoso sphere of action ia limited a vrnrd caucus, mid whose ambition ia liov.iidcd by county nciiniiiatinn, but men who have innde public afliiirH a study, mid who nrt! acquainted with tlie character, bintory and ability of public La Crow Wo apprehend that nobody ever clamored against that particular class of nion which the Leader terms politicians, viz: men thoroughly versed in politics. Such are not the persons meant when the, people are warned against politicians. The politicians against whom so much is said are the traders in office, men who are constantly scheming for place and position und personal profit, and whose knowledge of political machinery is unlimited almost, but whose knowledge of political affairs might be compassed by an ordinary school boy before breakfast.

These lire the men who are the curse of parties and of the country, and they arc found all along the political course from tho ward caucus room to the Presidential mansion. -Politicians in the real and nobler sonno are few and far between. Looking into our Congressional and legislative halls how few do wo find there who arc thoroughly versed in the duties of law-making, who understand the needs of the country, who have that knowlodgod of history and economical science that is so iiecessHry to persons in public station, or who are honestly and industriously laboring for the public good! Tho clamor against politicians is not a humbug; it arises from a conviction that our political affairs are managed by men who are in the main not qualified by ability or integrity for the positions which they assume. How difficult it is for men of real worth to get into important offices is realized by, all well-wishers of the country; and this difficulty arises from tho fact that honorable A LOST ART. Hanging as a Art has sadly degenerated of late years.

Our public executioners are a Ret of barbarous bunglers, who might learn a lesson of mercy in the science of life-taking from the Ku-Klux- Klan. We don't know of a single one of them we could recommend to 'do a nice job of legal strangulation, unless among amateur garoters who have acquired skill by practice on their own account. The prevailing manner iu which these public jobs are executed is simply execrable- disgrace to the profession. Mwderu hangmen seem to have lost the "knack" of choking murderers with that skill and grace so commendable in the old mastere of the art. Time was when public execuliouers prided themselves on their skill, and boasted of the elegant manner in which they could dispatch a victim of the law 1 iiud mukc him feel to congratulate he must yield lip the ghost that tho brittle thread ol life could be severed by a delicate and skillful baud.

But in our day and generation the comparative luxury of even a decent execution is denied the criminal whose earthly existence the law has decided to dispouse with. The scene of a public execution is sufficiently horrible when the job is done with neatness and dispatch, but when performed iu the manner fashionable now-u-days, it becomes tenfold more horrible, and IK a burning disgrace to civilization. When a few years ago a mob iu West Bend tied a rope to the foot of their victim and dragged him through the streets and pelted him with stones till dead, a universal cry of horror went up at such au exhibition of savage barbarity by an infuriated rabble of brutes in human form; but almost any day we may read legal life-takings scarcely less brutal. Out of respect for our readers, uud a feoliug of shame that such things should be we spare them from the horrid and sickening details that are almost daily spread out iu the columns of onr exchanges. We know of no justification for the constant recurrence of such scenes, except it be to make the example a more terrible warning to evil doers.

In so far as punishment is designed to deter others from committing crime, it may be held that tho more terrible the example the more efficient tho warning, but as we have heard no such excuse offered, wo think the hanging-by-inches mode of execution meets with no intelligent justification in the public mind. It seems to us that public decency hu been suflicienly outraged to demand a cessation of these horrifying exhibitions under the sanction of law. Admitting that capital punishment is justifiable, cxecu- tionBBhouldbe conducted with some respect for the humane instincts of civilization, and not in a manner to make the executioners of the law appear even more fiendish than the criminal who is expiating his crime at their hands; and since we must have legal murders, let us educate a class of professional executioners who will be able to perform thu mandates of the law in an accomplished and workmanlike manner, and not longer trust tho work to unskilled hands. Let each state which retains capital punishment endow a hangman's college, the technicalities of the art or science shall be taught to those who have a taste for the profession. other hand, it is those unscrupulous foreigners, who fawn on the rich and despise the poor, who bury all goodness nnd annihilate right, that have made our contracts as waste paper, and that look upon our lives as trifling rubbish.

Our food and clothing, and wages are doled out to us in a most meagre; manner, so that we arc weakened through want of food, and yet they refuse all consideration of our lot. These men are always harassing us 'with their provocations, to which they add blows with vituperation, or they fasten a tongue on our necks and drive us off to work to compel us to dig and plough when ing with hunger and cold. If our masters treat us harshly, their rulers are partial, and, if anything, worse than the first. If we cry out from our griefs and wrongs we ore made to suffer more reproaches and outrages, so that at all times we hear tho violence which ends in death, and everywhere see the grief that drives people to make way with themselves; yet how can we forget the kindness of our own sovereign and our own fathers which strengthens our hearts in the midst of onr othetwiso unendurable sufferings. Though there are few kind masters and equitable officers who interest themselves iu our welfare, they do not number more than one or two in ten, and after all cannot relieve our condition.

If we arc employed in shops or in other kinds of trade we find ourselves unable to clear ourselves of tho unjust charges made against us of thievery and robbing by unscrupulous men. If we go in the streets the boys use vile, language to disgrace and ridicule us. Thorns and briers meet us whichever, way'we turn, and everbody in our companies in this port feels as if he had fiillcu into a pit from which there is no deliverance, so dreadful are our and so far off seems our escape. We repress our feelings, for they ore unutterable. We therefore come now iuto the presence of your Excellency with the request that you would look upou our complaint with your powerful protection, causing ns wanderers to leap for joy.

In this our united and public petition we beg that your saving aid may be extended towards us like the dewy showers falling on the distant wastes, reviving the dyiug and decaying plants. You will be io us like a lucky star shining along our road, Your compassion to us miserable people will lead us, alive or dead, to remember your kindness, and to enjoy your kindness wherever we are; its fragrance will be transmitted to endless ages.

The coffin and casing were still iu the grave, but the corpse had been removed. No words can describe the horror and anguish produced in the mourning husband by this tcrrfble discovery.

He had read of similar instances of body-snatching at dis tant points, but never realized how much of suffering and suspense these robberies entailed upon the surviving relatives and friends. The grief over a loved and loving wife had almost crushed him, but the additional blow drove him to frenzy. He.re- solved that neither effort nor money to recover his wife's remains, and pvnish the ghouls who had despoiled hergruve.should be spared. Officers and detectives wero sent out immediately in all directions, and a tempting reward made the search a thorough am energetic one. Bnt two days elapsed, one no clue to the perpetrators of the outrage: had been discovered.

How many years had elapsed since this wful conflagration actually took place it would bo presumpfnous to guess; but it must be remembered that news from the eavenft, though carried by the fleetest of lassengere, light, reach us long after the vent has transpired, and that the same clcstial courier is still dropping tho tidings each station it reaches in space, until it inks exhausted by tho lenglh of its flight.

BOCIWELL has been subjected to a most barbarous operation of Mississippi Dentistry, in which tho would-be conservative candidate for Governor "lays on" with unsparing hand, that reminds us of the ringing days of gonlhnrn chivalry. Secretary Boulwell did not sympathize with tho conservative movement in the liouth; on tho contrary, freely expressed himself in favor of the opposition, which fact has brought upon him the withering denunciations of this now somewhat notorious "brother-in-law." Our telegraphic columns lust evening gave a summary of the contents of this remarkable production, and we do not deem it necessary to repeat bis charges against Secretary Boutwell.

As a specimen of buncombe literature Dent's letter will rank with the offspring of Biuckley's genius. Its animus is too apparent to require comment.

Miss ANTHONY AND THE LABOE CONOKUSS. Miss Anthony has been denied admission to the Labor Congress at Philadelphia.

When her credentials were presented a representative of the Now York Typographical Union arose and read a dispatch from the Union ordering him to withdraw from the Convention should Miss Anthony be admitted. The reasons stated wore that she had refused to pay compositors on the Kevolution the scale of prices decided upon by the Typographical Union. This is tho ostensible ground on which she was denied a seat iu tho convention, bnt we mistrust, the real reasons lay back of that in the old prejudice against a woman's participation in the councils and deliberations of men.

Voujig Girl wltn a JVcgro Minstrel. From the Boston Horald. The particulars of the elopement of Miss Lena SVarren Brown, a pretty girl fifteen years of age, with one Lewis Cole, who is about twenty-three years old, and a negro minstrel by profession, have been furnished us by the mother of the girl, who has been plunged into deep distress by the conduct of her daughter. It appears that Cole, who was connected with the company at the Howard AtheDreum, was in the habit of calling at the house of Mrs. Brown on various errands, and thus became acquainted with Lena.

No suspicion was entertained by tbe family that the girl looked upon Cole other than that as a friend, and no special watch was kept upon either of them, except that Lena was never allowed to be out of sieht of some member of the family more than fifteen minutes at s. time. On Tuesday evening last, Cole called at the house, and while he was there Lena put on her.bonnet and slipped out of doors, followed shortly after by Cole. The couple went directly to the Old Colony depot and took the 3 o'clock boat train for New York. On Lena being missed, her mother searched for her all over the city, and finally discovered that she had probably eloped with Cole to New York.

Wednes- duv evening dispatch was sent to the police authorities of Uew York to arrest and detain tho runaway couple until Mrs. Brown could reach thero and recover her daughter. The fugitives were traced to the residence of Cole's mother in New York by the police, to whom they represented that they had been legally married in' Boston. Their story was so far believed that a very loose surveillance was kept upon their movements, which enabled them to escape from the house, and, finding a willing clergyman, they were finally married. When the girl's mother arrived in New York the marriage certificate was produced, and, of course her efforts to save the child were all in vain.

To tho tears entreaties prayers of her mother, Lena proved unyielding, but wo understand that efforts will be made to prove that the marriage was consummated under false representations, and thus obtain a separation of the eloping couple.

Artpinns Ward Ca ling the Walcli. The "Fat Contributor" relates the following regarding Ward: One night in New York Artemus was returning to his hotel at a late hour of the night, from a rather protracted sitting at convivial party, at which wino and wassel preva led, with a considerable more "wassel" than wine. One of the party was a "singist." Ward used to sing, and as nearly everybody else has said since, who sang "Larboard Watch, Ahoy!" with great effect. Ward seemed particularly impressed with it, so much so that on his way home he insisted on bawling at the top of his voice, "Larboard Watch, Ahoy!" greatly to the consternation of the other members of the party, who were afraid Ward's efforts at street vocalism would result in their spending the remainder of the night in the Tombs. After repeating the "outcry wild" two or three times, a watchman appeared and commanded Ward to "hush his biz" and move on.

"Who are you?" inquired Ward. "I'm the watch," was the reply. "Well, I don't want you. You're the starboard watch. I called for the larboard watch.

Those receiving- good cultivation are looking well. There are not gen- rally as many to the hjll and they are not of as rank growth as last year: but the burs are coining well, many nearly full grown, and promise an excellent quality.
