While they were bound to obey national opinion, and had shown their readiness to do so, they could afford to be indifferent to temporary or local prejudice. In this lies the real strength of the House of Lords ; and if it would preserve the regard and respect of the country, it will not be unmindful of it. As it can afford to be indepen dent of local prejudice, it should be careful to act with a due regard to the general interest ; and as it must sometimes assume the position of an arbiter, it should exhibit a calm judgment and an independent spirit. Lord DERBY concluded by pointing out the changes that time may make in the condition of the House of Lords. " Professions, which were combative took precedence of those which were in dustrial in their character," and hence it came to pass that the House of Lords contained so large a proportion of persons who had been placed there by naval and military or legal success, but he believed the " next generation would see the list of those who owed high positionto industrial occupation consi derably increased." It is satisfactory to find that Lord DERBy entertains so cheerful an expectation of the future of the House of Loi ds, and can thus give so complete an answer to the taunts and insults which from time to time have been heaped upon it by those who do not rightly comprehend its true position in the State. At the same time that he defends its privileges he proclaims its duties, and points out that its illustrious members have no call to emulate the rois faineants of a departed _age. There is work for them to do, and plenty of it if they set vigo rously to the task ; and if it should sometimes ap pear tame and trivial, its results may not be less important ; than more showy performances, for to fill in details is often a greater effort than to sketch elaborate outlines. THERE never was a case in which the arguments were so entirely on one side as they were in Wed nesday's debate on the Women's Disabilities Bill. Not only were the arguments strong in themselves, but they were strong relatively—strong by contrast with the objections. When the utmost that the oppo nents of the bill could say was that women would bribe by means of their pocket handkerchiefs, and that it was unpleasant to read in the newspapers of women lecturers going from place to place, the game was up. It does not seem to have struck Mr. Beresford Hope, the eccentric father of the first brilliant idea, that women have not been accustomed to resort to this kind of bribery hitherto, have not hitherto been in the habit of canvassing electors and shedding tears on receiving an unfavourable answer, and that it is not likely they will resort to this trick when they have an opportunity of influencing elections in a more direct way. Nor does it seem to have occurred to Sir Herbert Croft, the originator of the other ob jection, that as lady lecturers already go from place to place, that very highly reprehensible custom cannot be attributed to Mr. Jacob Bright's Bill. All the talk about women not being fitted for politics, about the drawing-room and the nursery (why not add the scullery ?) being their proper place is simply "bosh." A man does not become a bad son, brother, husband, or father, on attaining the franchise ; why, then, should an enfranchised woman cease to be a good daughter, sister, wife, and mother ? Most married men will rejoice in the thought that their wives will have one more object in common with themselves, one more subject in which they will be educated, and which will serve as a welcome diversion to the interminable talk about the excellencies of " baby" and the sins of " cook." Besides what right have men to withhold the franchise from such women as it is proposed to enfranchise ? These are owners of property, managers of businesses, payers of rates and taxes, and why should they be excluded from a privilege which men enjoy precisely upon these qualifications ? The present system is untenable. We have already applied to women the principle that taxation and representation shall go together, by allowing them votes as ratepayers and as members of a municipality it is absurd, there fore, to refuse them votes as tax-payers. We allow them to vote for the men who decide what number of police shall be employed, we have until now forbidden them to vote for the men who shall decide what number of soldiers and sailors shall be employed. The distinction cannot be maintained for a minute, except by mere force of numbers. Happily men are not so selfish as women have sometimes thought them to be, and although they have the power to keep the other sex disfranchised, it would seem as if they do not mean to exercise that power any longer. As to the argument that if we allow women to vote for members of Parliament we must allow them to become members of Parliament we re ply that if they are competent by all means let them be chosen; but it no more necessarily follows that they will be elected M.P.'s than guardians or churchwardens. They'are eligible in these capacities. Yet we do not find women filling them, and we do not expect to see a ladies' bench in the House of Commons, though it is possible that they may obtain the removal of the bars of their present gilded cage. Finally, if the ad mission of women will increase the strength of the Conservative party, as is alleged, we say that we can not help it. Mr. Mill's reply to this objection was obvious and unanswerable. If the women of this country are as a rule Conservative, then Conservatism is not properly represented, has not its fair share of legislators. It is possible, and not altogether improbable that when women become enfranchised they will also become "educated" with a raniditv that will astonish even Mr. Disraeli.

The Morning Edition will be published at 8 a.m., containing four hours' later news than the other morning papers. Special Telegrams will be given in this edition from the leading capitals of Europe, America, India, and all parts of the United Kingdom. With the exception of London, most of the leading towns in Great Britain have had the advantage of a publication at 8 a.m., giving later news than can appear in the usual editions of the morning papers. The recent development of telegraphic communi cation has made additional news available at 8 a.m., and has thus increased the advantages which may be secured by placing before the public the latest infor mation prior to their entering upon the engagements of the day. The principles upon which THE SUN has been conducted for a long series of years will be consis tently maintained—the Editorial management re maining in the same hands as hitherto. The Evening Editions of the THE SUN will be pub lished at 3.30 and 7 p.m. The new Earl of DERBY has not favoured the public with much of his speaking since his accession to the title, a fact which has caused some disappoint ment, for a general curiosity prevailed to see how he would act in his strange and unwelcome position. If his predecessor found the " prim benches of the upper school " unsuited to his vehement nature and fiery spirit, the present inheritor of the honours of the house of STANLEY must instinctively have shrunk from a sphere where inactivity reigned predominant. After a few months' experience it is interesting to meet with a speech from the noble Earl on the Assembly to which he has recently been called. On Wednesday, at the annual dinner of the Institu tion of Civil Engineers, Lord DERBY returned thanks for the House of Lords, and contrived to set forth some important facts relative to the duties and responsibilities of that august assembly. He went straight to the point at the outset, and declared that he could not say it was suffering at the present time from overwork ; following up the first remark with another still more distinguished for plainness than flattery, to the effect that it did not perhaps set a remarkable example of industry. Those who know the noble lord must be aware that abuse is not in his line, and that he never contents himself by making grand displays, in which the faults and follies of persons and institutions are studiously set forth. Lord DERBY can find a use for everything, and even the House of Lords ha% its mission to perform. He admitted that it did not profess to occupy a position of rivalry to the House of Commons, so far as regarded political power, and that it had not done so for a hundred years past, but "in the present and the future, as in the past, there remained to it special functions to discharge, and an appropriate sphere of public utility." It cannot be denied that Lord DERBY has drawn a very correct picture of the upper branch of the Legislature, and he has enforced his arguments by pointing to the condition of that House of which he was for so many years an active and able member. The House of Commons, he said, became more and more burdened with duties which it could not thoroughly discharge, and yet which it was unwilling to relinquish. " They all knew that work done in a hurry was apt to be scamped, and the supervision of the work was the most appropriate function of the House of Lords." We have here presented to our notice an honourable goal for the ambition and energies of the peers, and a fair opportunity for them to render good services to their country. Regard ing 11 their opportunities for performing this duty, GREAT ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS. vu Wednesday evening, while Lady Margaret Beaumont was absent from home, her residence in Piccadilly was entered, and jewellery to the value of about £lO,OOO was taken away. It is supposed that the crime was perpetrated by the same band of bur glars who lately robbed the house of the American Minister and of Lady Napier. CONFESSION OF MURDER AT LEEDS. A labourer, named Robert Thornton, late on Wednes day night gave himself up to the police at one of the suburban stations of Leeds. On the 27th of December last an Englishtramp, named Murgatroyd, was kicked to death in a beerhouse in Leeds much frequented by Irish men. Thornton said " I want to make con fession of a murder I have committed. I mur dered a man in a beerhouse in Kirkgate on Christmas Day. I kicked him to death in the passage, and my mind has never been easy since. I have nothing more to say, only I did not do it on purpose. It is a bad job." He appeared to be quite sober, but it is stated that he has been in a lunatic asylum. He was taken before the stipendiary magistrate yesterday morn ing and remanded for a week. Two Irishmen were tried tt the last assizes for the murder of Murgatroyd, and acquitted. The Emperor of Austria has paid Baron Anselm Rothschild the high compliment of conferring upon him the First Class of the Order of the Iron Crown, in recog nition of the IGng and remarkable public services of his house. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has con veyed to Lord Henry Lennox, in grateful terms, his high appreciation of the admirable arrangements made at the soiree of the South Kensington Museum for the reception of himself and the Princess.

The Home Secretary_and the Solicitor".4-eneral, do not seem to pull very well together. On Tuesday night Sir John Coleridge spoke in favour of maintaining the connection between the nine great public schools and the National Church, whereupon Mr. Bruce with very unne cessary frankness, declared that his colleague spoke only on his own account. Yesterday they were again at vari ance. Mr. Bruce had not made up his mind respecting the Women's Disabilities Bill, and therefore, not very logically, voted against it. Sir John Cole. ridge had made up his mind, and with better reason voted for it. The advocates of the measure are in the highest possible spiritskas well they may he, after yester day's debate. Anything more weak and absurd than the adverse speeches of Mr. Beresford Hope and Sir Herbert Croft it would be impossible to imagine. It is now generally reported that the House of Lords will pass the bill, for they believe it will increase the strength of the Conser vative party. Thus a female Sovereign will have the pleasure of giving the Royal assent to a bill enfranchising her own sex. Of other political matters there is little to say this week. As I have predicted for some time past, Mr. Bruce has decided not to introduce his licensing bill. The " gallery," by the way, fell into an error a few nights ago by asserting that the bill had been introduced and read a first time. Those persons who have ever made the experiment of trying to catch what is mumbled out by the clerks at the table of the House will readily understand that such an error was very possible. As a matter of fact, the bill was not intro duced. The Elections Bill will be brought in on Monday by the Marquis of Hartington, who is no orator, but can make a straightforward statement. The University Tests Bill may possibly scrape through after all, but the prospects of the Education Bill are more gloomy than ever. As the moderate Liberals take no part in organising meetings for the support of this bill, they must not be surprised if next year Mr. Gladstone yields to the demands of the more vigorous and noisy section of the party. The Lord Chancellor's chef d'oeuvre runs the danger of being killed with kindness. The law lords extolled it to the sides, and Lord Cairns, for whose return from the continent Lord Hatherley had very courteously waited, vied with Lord Westbury in eulo gising it, but neither of them had the smallest intention of allowing it to ,pass. They found an accomplice in the person of Lord Denman, who has no other similarity to his illustrious father than in name. He—this wearer of the patronymic of a mighty judicial chief—was the bearer of a protest of the judges against the Judicature Bill, and he handed it to Lord Cairns. These high functionaries are said to have treated the Lord Chan cellor somewhat shabbily. They were consulted by him about the bill in the first instance, and they offered no objection. It is therefore somewhat hard that he should first hear of their disapprobation through a distinguished member of the Opposition. Some well known ladies in London are about to form a " National Association for the Eradication of the Social Evil." Their object is to get at the causes of this plague, with a view to remove them ; and they think that, how ever women may differ about such remedial measures as the Contagious Diseases Act, they can all unite in any preventitive measures. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell and Mrs. Jacob Bright are prominent movers in the matter. The crowd at the South Kensington Museum last night rendered enjoyment well nigh impossible. The Society of Arts has given many conversazioni at the South Kensington Museum before, and they have usually been very enjoyable. Last night it was known that the Prince and the Princess of Wales would be present, and the consequence was a throng of visitors, who came not to see the various beautiful objects which the Museum contains, not even to criticise each other's dresses, but to mob a lady and a gentleman of royal station. The visitors were, however, kept in pretty good order by the white-wanded officials, and their Royal Highnesses escaped without much damage. There were about 1,200 rejected works at the Royal Academy this year; that is, about as many were declined as were admitted. I have previously mentioned the rejec tion of M. Desange's portraits of the Royal Family of Italy. I am told that there is a dead set made against all artists outside the Forty who venture to paint royalty ow the high aristocracy. Last year Mr. Hayllar's picture of the Duchess of St. Alban's shared the fate of Desange's portraits, and that of the Princess . Claudine by Mr. Sydney Hodges, this year. Outsiders may paint bishops and city knights, and even a Lord Mayor, but when they come to coronets and crowns the Forty es claim, "Prom/ este profani." This is what comes of hav ing a portrait painter for P.R.A. However, the portrait painters are not the only sufferers, even so well known an artist as Marks had one of his pieces rejected. Mr. Weigell has been more fortunate than most of his colleagues. His portraits of the Prince and the Princess of Wales have been hung under rather peculiar circumstances. A few days before the sending-in day he wrote to the Prince that the pictures were finished, and asked to be honoured with a visit on the Monday or Tuesday. The Prince replied that he could not come before Wednesday. Now, Tuesday night west-the very latest date for sending the pictures to Burlington Rouse, and Mr. Weigall replied to that effect, adding that of course he would comply with the Prince's wish, only in that case the portraits could not be exhibited. The Prince sent word that the artist need not be under any anxiety, he would see that the pictures .were accepted. Accordingly he paid his visit on the Wednesday, and on the same evening the pictures were forwarded to the Academy with a note from the Prince expressing his hope that Mr. Weigall would not, be allowed to suffer through compliance with the prince'awish.. secretary sent back the pictures to Mr. Weigall with rather curt letter expressing surprise that he should have expected the rules of the Academy to be set aside on his be half, and informing him that his works could not be exhibited except the Queen commanded. I suppose that this last remark was intended to hint to Mr. Weigall how he might get out of his difficulty, for the Sovereign has by right of the royal charter which the Academy enjoys, the power to order any picture she pleases to be exhi bited. The Prince was informed of the secre tary's reply, and he at once went to the Queen, and obtained the necessary mandate, and so it comes to pass that the portraits are hung. Evidently marrying an earl's daughter has its advantages. Of course, artists are in a state of considerable curiosity as to the vacant stool. At present I do not know who will succeed Mr. Maclise, but it is thought not improbable that Mr. Leslie will be the fortunate man. If so, fortune will have been deserved, as I think most persons will admit who have gazed upon his beautiful picture of women casting flowers into the water, In this year's Academy exhibition. This picture was sold for £l,OOO before leaving the artist's studio. The resignation of Mr. Edward Dicey as editor of the Daily News has taken his friends by surprise. The appointment was kept open for him several weeks during his tour in the East, at the opening of the Suez Canal , he was appointed on his own terms—a very liberal salary, complete control of the editorial department, and a twelvemonth's notice on either side. That he should have left his post in three monthsseems strange. There was, however, a good reason for doing so. The Daily Yews belongs to twelve proprietors, who look upon the paper not merely as an investment for their money, but also as an organ of their individual 3pinions. Each of them had a hobby which he wished to ride ; each of them had a bete noire which he tabooed. The consequence was that when Mr. Dicey proceeded to put down the hobby horses and to write up the black beasts there were storms. The result is known. Mr. Dicey has left Bouverie-street amid the regrets of all his colleagues. To this I may add that Mr. Frank Hill, who has for a long time been the chief leader-writer of the Daily News has succeeded Mr. Dicey. I trust that he will induce the twelve proprietors to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the first verse of the third chapter of the Epistle of St. James. The authoress of " Mary Powell," and subequent works at length stands revealed to the public. During his illness the Arbishop of Canterbury read these books, and was so charmed with them that he requested his sister, Lady Wake, to write to Mr. Hall, the publisher, and ask to whom he was indebted for the pleasure he had received. The author is Miss Manning. She has, I believe, been for many years an invalid, so that the tales have doubly lone their soothing work of " beguiling many hours 3f illness," in the case of the writer no less than in the case of the reader. Another anonymous writer has recently allowed his name to be made public, Mr. W. J. Thorns, the editor of Notes and Queries. The son of Dr. Dasent, a lad of two or three and twenty, has joined the reviewing staff of the Times, where his father has long been one of the chiefs. Thepost of reviewer on the leading (ournal is one to be envied. Four guineas a column of "bourgeois " - type is a long price. I believe, hog, ever, that recently the Times has reduced its tariff. Novelists, also, occasionally get well paid. For instance, the publisher of Miss Broughton's' earlier works (" Cometh up as a Flower," &c.), hearing that she was likly to send her next work to another firm, took the express into Cheshire, and offered her £7OO before seeing a line of the volume ; at least, such is the- story current here, though I find that these tales seldom bear examination so far as figures go. Professor Masson is now paying a visit to his old haunts and friends in London. He arrived just in tune to witness the triumph of Mr. Jacob Bright and the lady politicians. He has been one of the most earnest chain' pions of women's rights, and stood up manfully—or shall I say womaufully—for them at Edinburgh. He has good reason to do so. They have been warm supporters of his at Edinburgh, to the enrichment of his purse. In fact , the Professor has made a very good thing of his professor ship, for though nominally worth only £2OO a year, his private classes are so well attended both by male and female students, that he is getting a very handsome in' come. The professor is, by the way, a brother-in-law of Dr. Bastian, who has been carrying on a controversy in the Times with Professor Tyndall respecting the germ theory of disease. Mr. Frederick Locker, wh ° aas just taken the editorial chair at the Graphic has, I believe, been for some time on the Times Literary staff. He was formerly engaged in OM' merce, and was for a few years in Australia ; but he bad always a taste for letters, and having also a good business head, it is expected that he will make a very efficient editor. Mr. Locker will be known to most of your :eaders as the editor of the admirable little B oo k of Lyrics," brought out in Macmillan's "Golden Treasury," series. By the way, the Illustrated News must look to its ,aurels. It is allowing its young and vigorous rival to beat t not only in the quality of its illustrations, but also is the speed with which it treats events of great public Interest, such as the Brighton Volunteer Review. The following are my other literary items :—Mr. Bur son's concluding volumes of the History of Scotland Will b e ?üblished next month. A new edition of Mr. Hepworth Dixon's " Free Russia " has, in Spite of the severe criti. ;ism in the Times, been called for, and will be issued shortly by Messrs. Hurst and Blackett. The sec" publishers announce " Silvia," a new novel, by Julia' Kavanagh. " The Old Love and the New " is the ale of Sir Edward Creasy's novel, which I spoke of man? weeks ago. Mr. W. F. Rae, the author of the letters in the Daily News describing the Atlantic and the Pacific Railway, is bringing out his letters in a volume, and a ollaborateur of his on the same paper, Mr. Parkinson, s publishing his diary of the expedition of the Indian telegraph. Everyone will remember the contro versy which took place some twenty years ag° aetween Dr. Whewell and Sir David Brewster with respect to the plurality of inhabited worlds ; the dis' mission is renewed by Mr. Proctor, author of " Saturn and its System," who to-day has out a new work entitled " Other Worlds than Ours ; the Plurality of Worlds studied under the light of recent Scientific Researches." Lady Herbert of Lea has edited a translation of the Baroness de Montaignac's Memoirs of Madame de laliramion. The binding of Mr. Dante Gabriel Rossetti's poems ' was designed by the author himself. The Earl of Albermarle is writing "B e ' .niniscences," which will refer to the close of the Regency, and the beginning of the reign of George IV Mr. Edward Spender will have out during the present month a book for tourists, containing chapters on NorweY , the Ctannel Islands, Cornwall, and the Scilly Islands , with itineraries, being partly reprints of articles, in periodicals, partly fresh matter. Mr. Walter Thorn miry whose admirable " Old Stories Retold," I have men sioned on a former occasion, publishes in this month's Belgravia a paper which should be included in the next series of that work, it is entitled " Confessions of sn Eminent Swell Mobsman," Vann by name. The dull number of the same magazine will contain the first pert if a new tale by Mr. Le Fanu, entitled " The Haunted Baronet." The present number has some verses by the editor, Mr. Charles Cheltnam. THE PLOT AGAINST THE EMPEROR. The solution of the various difficulties attendant upon the story of the plot just unearthed by the Paris police, is materially aided by a very circumstantial account giv e° in the Gazette des Tribunaux. It shews that the Interns' tional Working Men's Association is not implicated in the assassination conspiracy, but it would appear that it is charged with being engaged in a plot of another kind' The narrative in the legal journal says :—" It i s known that Baurie was the principal instrument chosen by the most excited members of the Republican party to bring to an issue the abominable design they had formed. On the day of his arrest—which was effected as he was going home to his lodgings at an hotel in the Rue des Moulins—after spending the nL,c , ht with a girl nanaled Aimee, Baurie was the bearer of arms and letters which left no doubt as to the nature and object of his correspow dence and intercourse with Gustave Flourens, at pre sent in London, and with various members of the Inter' national Working Men's Association. When Baurie found that the letter of Gustave Flourens had been seized by the police, he fell into a state of great prostre• tion, got very nervous, and shed tears. He was then gradually brought to confess. The letter of Flourens con tains this passage : ' The man with the patent will soon leave for the country. . . . Therefore no time should be lost. When a man has made a promise he is bound to keep it, and to succeed.' In the draft of a letter written b a r Baurie and found on his person, the following lines eh,: lenged attention :--` The surgical amputation will P,. e effected this day.' Other documents seemed to establis h the complicity of several persons not belonging to' the International Association. Thus M. Protot, an advocate who had undertaken the defence of Megy, corresponde d with Gustave Flourens, and acted as an intermediary , 13° ' tween this latter, his client, and other participators in plot. A warrant was issued against M. Protot, an yesterday morning (i. e., Sunday) M. Clement, c ommie : sary of police, and two policemen, proceeded to his rea l deuce. They found him at home ;he answered the I[ loot himself, and showed no intention to offer any oppositi ° l to the execution of the warrant. The commissary police proceeded to search the premises, but a s he wl"' about to open a portfolio such as b a r r i s t ers use , Proto t took it up, precipitately left the room, closing the door be hind him, and ran down s t a i rs . M. Cle men t rush ed after him, and to get down faster slid down the balusters; He reached the court-yard nearly as soon as Protot ; 1 ) . '!" as he was alone with him he pulled a revolver out of hea pocket and fired a shot in the air to hasten the arrival ° the officers. But the officers were not the first to make their appearance ; individuals in blous es, who, excited by M. Protot's shouts, ru shed °l 3 the commissary of police, but M. Clement soon released, and was able to take the prisoner to th: prefecture, whence he was removed to Mazas, wh ere Baurie had been already incarcerated. Roussel, cabinet-maker, at whose lodgings the bombs were seized , lived at Ruelle des Rosiers, a court near Phre In Chai ss i On the 14th of April, under the name of Renard, he cag e ': on M. Lepet, an ironfounder in the Rue St. Maur, to orde r the bombs, which he described as intended for axles for velocipedes. Roussel is married, and the father oft wed' young children. He had long since been P out to the police as attending public meetings, where he was notorious for the viol ence o f hi s s peeches. In October last, at one of th ese meet i ngs , whit the commissary of police h a d or d ered to dissolve, h e too up a bench to strike a policeman who was trying t° t° : him out. On the following day a Socialist paper c,°i.; plained of ' Citi zen R oussel ' hav i ng b een ill-trea ted the police. He has as yet continued to escape arrest. of addition to the bombs and compromising papers, a 9: full of picrate of potash was discovered at his lodgin_ n g" . Two fresh wa rran t s o f arres t were i ssue d yes t er day vac''' . ing by the juge d'instruction against two wine - s ho g keepers named Tavernier and Bichet. They were arreste, in the course of the day. Here are the names of the Pe r , sons at present in custody :—MM. Leveille, Greffier, Frog!: and Protot ; also the following members of the lut e ! national Association—Heligon Johannard, Lecat' s, Flahault, Duguanquie, Murat, 'Callot, Germain Cass!' Avrial, Pindy, Rocher, Theisz, and alon. Tavern i ,7; who was arrested yesterday, M erday, is one of the most t propagators of the Freethinkers'Association, whose obJetict is to attend and encourage " civil burials " [i.e., wit ° prayers or clergy.] In the course of the seas 9 effected at the houses of the- various persoet,ll, arrested, documents are said to have been se i- ° , 3 , 0 showing in the most unmistakable manner b' es reorganisation-of the International Association on bits t threatening social order. These documents set forth a central committee of action has been formed in Paris , °- active correspondence with the general board of that ass_.,. ciation in London, and the central board in Belgic,lo The members of the Parisian section of these two bo ar o appear to have taken a leading part in recent events, t ee particularly in the various strikes which have taken Pr e i r in manufacturing towns since 1868. Traces of of goings on are discovered in the strike nnilh et with the building trades at Geneva in 1869 ; in that a the bronze workers at Paris ; in those which broke v i° among the miners at Seraing and Borinage in Belgil.w 2; iii the strikes of the tailors and tanners in Paris ; / „ 11° the strikes at Creuzot, Aubin, Fourchambault, organisation of this society, the members of whic h Europe and America amount to several millions ( 8 e Cop tent par millions), constitute a formidable power, o f leaders of which are said to have conceived the ides To bringing about a Socialist and Republican revolution:,_oi prove the participation of the branches of the Internal I ' ill , Association in the political questions recently . trun 3 P' o . t io for the purpose of disturbing order and security chug:foes present year, it is sufficient to read the many nianlL: ve no published by the Marseillaise.
