THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND ITS
OPPONENTS.
The Journal Officid of :Innklay publiehes the following
Artide . .

Writers who have no respect either for truth or
propriety or the position of the country have adopted
towards the Government of the Republic a system of
calumny which they pursue with obstinate, perseverance.
The mist odious imputations cause them no hesitation.
Thus one of them has pretended lately that the
Ministers and the President of the Repnldic obtained
the payment of their salaries in gold for the purpose
of profiting by the premium upon gold over banknotes.
The President of the Republic, especially, according
to them, taking advantage of the fact that his
allowance was not fixed by the law, drew a million
of francs, required payment in gild, and thus sought
to make a profit from that mode of payment
We need hardly say that these stories are unworthy
falsehoe xis. The salary of the President of the Re-
public has not been left uncertain, but has been fixed
by the Budget law at 600,000 francs. M. Thiers has
only drawn that which the law allows him, and proof
can by obtained at the Treasury that he has received
his salary only long after it has fallen due, and always
in bank notes. We only mention these slanders, which
otherwise deserve no reply, for the purpose of calling
the attention of the honest public to this system of
vilification pursued with all the completeness of a con-
spiracy, and to declare to its authors that when the
proper time comes the Government will not allow itself
to he diverted from the performance of its duty by
any fear of seeming to revenge its personal injuries.
The men who have precipitated France into an
abyss of misfortune, and who, if they possessed any
dignity, should be silent, if they possessed any ;.atriot-
iSlll should be happy that their faults are being re-
paired, have indulged in vain calumnies: they will wet
deceive the country, and will not induce it to forget
that it is to the Empire that France owes its present
lamentable position. Moreover, the Government in not
disarmed, and they may rest assured that their
maneeuvres will, in due time, be stopped. Falsehood
can certainly do much, but it will never succeed in
canoeing France to forget the years 1870-1, or to con-
found those who caused our reverses with those who
are engaged in repairing them,"

At.the Surrey Scisi..ns, Elita Lock, aged 30, was indicted
for feloniously by force enticing away Benjamin Clarke, a
child under 14 years of age, with intent to deprive the

her home in the Seven-dials. Witness added that at
the time the child was lost it was circulated all over
London and the suburbs.

Sarah Clarke, wife of Benjamin Clarke, residing in
the New-cut, said that on the morning of the Vith of
May, 1669, she left her little boy, a year and ten
months old, at the door while she went on her errand.

all about. London for it. She also proceeded to the

Was crying she took it home and attended to it as if it
was her own chill. She also told him she had tried to

to the passage, and, as only one of the half doors WAS
open, her body was jammed in the narrow space and she
was unable to extricate herself. After the landlord's
son had given her a blow or two on the head with a
poker, a rope was procured and she Was pulled into the
street. Her visit frightened some of the inmates and she
knocked a hole into the large pane of glass.
