We have mentioned only the most important
events and connections in the Citizen Kings ca
pial ITSELF but we have before US a curious caan-
der, lately published in Paris, under the title of
Calendrirr de Ia liberte de la presse ct de l'orde
public en- France depuis la Revolution de Juliet,
$780, in which, in the same way that the ordi.
nary Roman Catholic calendars have saints
name for every day, since the 'glorious RevoIu.
tion.' popular riot or any arbitrary stretch Of
power by the government, Of which the summa.
ry is, that eighty six newspapers have been eli.
Their arbitrarily seized or judicialIy prosecuted;
that there have been four hundred and seventy
eight days Of tumuit or instruction; and that
two hundred and one cities or districts have been
in u state Of disturbance. Vive la liberte de 10
PRESET Vive i'ordre public!
In addition to this catalogue Of quiet and
prosperity let US add the following curious com.
parison. Charles X. was expellea for four chief
heads of offence, and each Of those four heads Of
offence his successor has, by strange coinci-
dence, been guilty, with certainly less excuse
and much more severity.
Charles X. was expelled for attempting to con.
troll ihe press. There have been more state pros.
ecutioHs of the press, more printing houses ruined
more publications arbitrarily suppressed in two
years Of Louis Philippe than in the whole reign
of Charles X.
Charles X. was expelled for attempting TO
remodel. by the sole authority Of one branch Of
the legislature, the composition and members Of
another. Under Louis Philippe, one branch OF
the legislature, Of its own own single authority,
took upon itself to remodel the composition and
numbers Of another.
Charles X. was expelled for having miraiRe
his subjects in the streets of Paris in July, 1880
Louis Philippe mitraill'd greater number Of
his fellow citizens in June, 1882.
Charles X. was expelled for having, on the
eth July, while rebellion was fragrant, pro-
claimed martial law in the capital. Louis Phi.
lppe, on the 9Th June, after the tumuIt had been
suppressed, proclaimed martial law in the CAPT.
tai, and maintained it till the indignant tribunal
pronounced its illegaty.
Thus to use homey but appropriate proverb,
one man may steal horse, while another dare
not look over the hedge. And whyf because in
those times Of anarchy-whch call themselves
days of civilization and intelligence might
makes right; and physical force, under the frau.
duIent name of "public opinion" sets law,
and Justice, and reason, at utter defiance"
