pondcnt of the Morning Chroniclc:-

II Chronicle.
/ PARIS, Sept. >, 1870.
"Thc plot thickens !" We are in the
midst of anarchy. A crusade has com
ed to state what / am sorry to have oc-
casion to do, that fear force must be
resorted to in order to suppress the spirit
! Of rioting.
! The workmcn are now leaguing to-
! gcthcr. The journcymcn printers have
to-day published their Addrcss-it is in
the form of il letter to the Courier Fran
cais--it is placardcd on all the walls Of
Paris; and thousands ofcopics are being
I distributed in the streets. These work
men are not destitute of money, and if
| they want employment, it is their own
! iault.-Thc Jcsuits, EX-Royaists, and
/ EX-Pccrs, are accused of supplying with
funds tie rioters. The Gazette dc
| France denies this; but it is not little
singular that tic establishments of the
Gazette dc France, ard the Quotidcnnc,
the only two Royalist Journals publish
II in Fal,s, have not been visited by
these maraudcrs, whilst all the wolk-
shops Of the Liberal Papers have been
/. invaded, But let us do justice even to,
these disturbcrs of the public peace.
They have published their statement,
and the substance Of which is as fol-
lows
Il |. The master printers arc too few III
number-the monopoly is injurious, and
the masters are selfish and unchariiable.
,. The Workmcn have not threatened
to break or broken mechanical presses,
but have only refused to work.
i g. Machines are good when there Is
! an opposition intradc but not where cigh-
| ty printers alone have patents to print
in all Paris, being one printer for only
| 10, 900 souls.
4. BY the ordinary hand presses Il
volume of the BibIiothcque des Lcttrcs,
is printed for G5 ccntincs, or siXpencc-
halfpenny, and it is impossible to print
cheaper than that.
5. In 1871 the Constitutional printed
with hand presses, 10000 copies day;
and it does not print so many now with
machines.
6. The Journal de l'Empirc published,
with hand presses, $4,000 per day, and
10 Journal publishes as many now.
7. The mechanical presses are princi-
paIly made in England, and therefore,
by their not continuing to he made,
/ French artisans would not be thrown out
of employ.
=. The Government cannot force us
to work, but only not to make riots.
8. The Master Printers speak of bay
oncts eyes, doubtless, when your pc
cuniary interests are at stake, you would
show as much ferocity as the Swiss or
the Bedouins."
This is the worst passage in the adj
dress. ..
10. "Thc National Guards are to put
US down--But why all this parade! We
ourselves will form part Of the National
Guard
IL. Il is not true that we have rcceW-
ed money from the Jesu,s, or have been
instigatcd by others to make these de-
mands. We act on our own authority
and opinion, and we will have our rights!
/ This is the substance of the Address.
The Courier Francais has not publish
ed it as it was required to do-but on
the contrary, in the Journal which has
appeared this morning, "a whole column
is left bank-and it is stated by the
Redacteur that there were no compost
tors to set up the remainder.
The young men in the capital, who
are engaged in shops and warehouses,
have received circular letters, inviting
them to assemble this evening at seven
opposite the Boursc. Thousands of
these circulars have been sent round,
and multitudcs will assemble, from NAL
ice or curiosity,to interrupt the peace of
the capital. The majority, however,
are by 10 means disposed to be present.
/ ! have spoken to many of them, and they
state, that, if necessary, they will even
fire on the worhmcn, rather than have
the capital subject to pillage and force.
1t is alleged that the workmcn at Rou-
en-, hearing of these instructions, are
marching to Paris to assist their fellow
laborcrs. | hope this report is incorrect.
The worst of all wars is civil. And
the worst of all civil wars is when the
middling classes are opposed to the la
borcrs.
The Bourgeois of Paris are, however,
united and rcsolutc. If it be necessary,
they will again unpave the streets, and
oppose by force the violence of the mob
1t is possible that the Government may
rcprcss the sad signs of disorder which
We witness to-day.
