pany. But we; may seriously ask what moral right
these men have thus to defraud their families and
risk actual want by their perverse adherence to
their demands ? It is possible that by the time they
have made up their minds to an inevitable conces-
sion their places may be no longer vacant. Their em-
ployers mayhaveremoved, have retired, have changed
their burin em, have got new hands. Besides all
this, there is the steady rivalry of machinery, that
dangerous enemy to all monopolies. No one in
these changeful days can guarantee that he will
be able to take up his work at an indefinite time
just as he lays it down. Others will rush in to fill up
the vacancy ; the course of events will have altered
Lis position ; the last opportunity will not wait. It
is easy to carry wholesale resolutions in any mo-
ment of temporary excitement, but a six months'
strike means something more than words, and we
trust that the Operative Tailors will be wise in

me.

The correspondence from America shows that
President JOHNSON has acted wisely in the decided
step he has taken with respect to his insubordinate
Secretary. It will have been observed that Mr.
JOHNSON suspended Mr. STANTON, instead of re-
moving him, and this was done with a reason.
Mr. STANBERRY indeed gave his opinion that the
President had a clear right to remove any official
not appointed by himself, but it was certain that
Mr. STANTON would contest that right on
the strength of the Act which prohibits re-
movals during the Senate's recess. Had he done so
the case must have gone before the Courts, and
during the interminable legal delays Mr. STANTON
would have retained his office and his power of
making mischief in and out of the Cabinet. Mr.
JOHNSON'S exercise of the President's undoubted
right to suspend any officer removed all difficulties,
and put the troublesome Secretary at once hors de
combat. Mr. STANTON was forced to submit to be
superseded by General GRANT, but did so under
protest, and has since been actively declaring his con-
viction that Congrt ss would reinstate him in his office
so soon as it reassembled. The Radical journals,
as might have been expected, are bitterly attacking
the PRESIDENT, and even the popular GRANT
comes in for a share of their reproaches. SHERIDAN,
they say, would not in his place have acted so, and
certainly considering General SHERIDAN'S contempt
for orders in the South, we may easily believe that
he would not have scrupled to disobey his com-
mander. The PRESIDENT, however, has disposed
of him too, and has replaced him by the less fiery
but more reliable THOMAS. Mr. JOHNSON'S troubles
in the Cabinet are, however, not yet over. Mr.
SEWARD has thought fit to show a very ill-timed
sympathy with his suspended colleague, and they
have been driving about Washington together, in

token of their new alliance. Mr. JOHNSON has
shown that he knows how to vindicate the dignity
of his position, and it is not likely that he will
allow himself to be overridden by any presumptuous
or contumacious associate. What the Congress
will think of these events remains to be seen, but

there is time enough for many changes before tha
noisy and troublesome assembly resumes its ill
directed labours.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROJI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Sunday Evening.

The Emperor and Empress reached Strasbourg
on Friday evening on their return home. They
passed the night there, and yesterday morning left
for Paris, where they have arrived. Their reception
at Strasbourg was most affectionate and enthusi-
astic. The city was hung with flags, and there was
a general illumination. While at Salzbourg their
Majesties went to the theatre. The two Sovereigns
ware saluted on arrival by the band playing " Par-
taut pour la Syrie," the whole audience rising. The
Emperor of Austria wore the uniform of a General
of Chasseurs. The Emperor Napoleon was in
evening dress. Baron de Beust occupied a side
box. He also was in evening dress and wore the
star of the Legion of Honour. The Princess Hohenlobe
wore a rich diadem of diamonds, among which were
some large brilliants which clizzled the eyes
of all. The Princess Kinsky was by her side.
She was ornamented with a magnificent neck-
lace of brilliants. Count Jules Andrassy wore
the ribbon of the order of St. Stephen. The
Empress of Austria and the Empress of the
French did not arrive till a late hour, but they came
at a very interesting part of the piece, which in-
creased the enthusiasm. The Emperor Napoleon
had the Empress Elizabeth at his left, and the Em-
peror of Austria sat to the right of the Empress
Eugenie. The two Empresses were dressed in
white. The Empress of Austria had a very rich
diadem of diamonds, and on the splendid blonde
th ornaments,
hair of the Empress were remarkably rich clusters

The illoniteur contains a long report from the
Minister of F,weign Affairs and the Minister of
Commerce relative to the sanitary condition of the
East, which, thanks to the sanitary commission
which was recently appointed, is in a very satisfac-
tory state. The pilgrimage to Mecca, which causes
periodical alarm, has been accomplished this year
under very satisfactory conditions as regards the
public health. The tone of Djeddalt has undergone
a complete transformation ; the streets and houses
have bleu cleansed, and all the former causes of
disease removed. The Turkish Sanitary Commis-
sion have been to the entrance of the Red Sea with
a view to select the best spot for a lazaretto and a
sanitary station. The French Government, it is
stated, will hereafter come to an understanding
with the foreign Powers relative to the police and
navigation of that sea, " which is incontestably an
international question of first-rate importance."
The Federal Council of Northern Germany has
assembled under the presidenly of M. Friesen.
Prussia presented the postal law, and also a pro-
position that Prussia should be charged to negotiate
with France, in concert with Bavaria and Saxony,
the arrangement of the Franco-Mecklenbourg
Treaty of Commerce, and to renew with Austria
the negociations relative to a customs and com-
mercial treaty.

Tire king of the Netherlands has remitted to the
Prince de la Tour d'Auvergue, the French Ambas-
sador in London, as well as to all the Ambassadors
who signed the Convention of the 11th of May last
relative to Lux?mbourg, the Grand Cordon of the
Order of the Golden Lion of the House of Nassau.
The Ministers of Belgium and Italy, who also took
part in the Conference, have received a similar dis-
tinction, the Order of the Oak.
Accounts from Constantinople state that the
Turkish Government has resolved to give the
greatest possible impulse to public works, and par—
ticularly to improve the means of communication
of the Empire. Efforts will also be made shortly
to hasten the construction of railways in Anatolia.
The Sultan has determined to create a Council of
State, compo3ed of members, one half of which are
to be Mussulmans and the other half of Christian=.
A letter from Livadia (Crimea) states that the
Czar, on the 21st inst., received Fuad Pscha, who
remitted to him au autograph letter from thc, Sultan.
The provincial papers state that grey partridges
will be very scarce this year in France, as the eggs
were hatched at such a late period that the nests
have been destroyed, particularly in the meadows.
Hares, however, will be very abundant, and so many
snipes were never seen as there are this year. There
are also plenty of red-legged partridges, the hatch-
ing having been favourable.
There are more last words about the woman Fri-
gard. When she was urged to appeal, she said,
I shall submit to the decision of justice, and I hope
that this exitriphl of submission to the law will be
followed by everybody." Towards the conclusion of
the trial she said to oue'of her compautoro in cap-
