SALEM, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1915.

regiments Of picked men were added TO the
glrrison at Paris, and arrangements made, by
which from 10000 to $4,000 men could, with
the assistance Of the railways, be brought in
as a reinforcement. Artillery caissons rum
BLEED through the Streets, conveying ammu-
milton TO the numerous fortified guard houses
scattered over the city, which were also sup
piled with food, firing, and water enough TO
stand a six days siege. Each company OF
infantry was supplied with axes, picks, and
saws, in order 10 clear away barricades, and
all the batteries of flying artillery were cone
centrated at Nincennes, well supplied win
c%annisttT and grape shot. Yet II was known
that when Gen. Jdcqueminot called the Col
onels of the National Guard together, TO ques-
ton them as TO the feelings Of their battal-
lions, he found that they were little disposed
to sustain arbitrary power. Gen. Tiburce
Sebastian also questioned the higher officers
OF the garrison as 10 the feelings of the army,
and the answer was that it was little to he
depended on, if the National Guard should
support the resistance TO the prohibitions Of
the Ministers with respect TO the Reform ban
quets. The King distributed large numbers
Of crosses Of the Legion Of Honor TO the Of
fcers, invited a number of them TO the Tuil-
lerirs on Saturday evening, and spoke Of a
general promotion, in reward for any seTvi-

Sunday, Ftb. 2Oh. The Banquet had
been announced for to-day, in the twelfth ar
reimbursement, but was postponed on Friday
until Tuesday next, in the vicinity Of the
Champs Elysees, as the people of the Jaa-
b0urg ST. Antonio will then be at their avo-
cations, and the distance will probably deter
most of them from attending. The prudence
of the opposition cannot be too highly com
mended.
The deputies of the opposition met again
this morning, in order to deliberate on the
par, they ought TO take in the coming mani
f~estation in favor of the right ofmeeting, con-
tested and violated by the ministry. After
hearing the report of the commission it was
resolved unanimously that it became more
than ever necessary 10 protest by a grand act
Of legal resistance against a measure as con-
trary TO the principles Of the constitution as
to the letter of the law. 1t was resolved, in
consequence, that they should 90 in a body
TO the place of meeting next Tuesday. They
are convinced that the whole population will
understand that a manifestation in favor of
law against arbitrary pretension would fail
in its object if it did not show itself peacea-
Bile and orderly. Two great results will thus
be ob,ained-the conservation of a right in
herent to every free constitution, and a stri-
king proof OF the progress of our political
manners. The deputies of the opposition
count, then, upon The sympathy and support
of all good citizens, as they intnfn may reck-
on upon their (the opposition members,) in
defatigable devotedness, and upon the firm
ness of their resolves.

morning presents a curious p~hysiognolny; for

biographical coup de theatre, calculated to tell.
Before it is the note by which the Deputies
accept the invitation TO the banquet, in which
they say the right of political meeting with
ont previous authorization having been de-
MED by the ministry, in the discussion of the
Adhesive see in this banquet the means of
maintaining a constitutional right against ar
bitrary pretensions, and DEMONSTRATING it de-
hnlllvely. This is signed by SO deputies,
whose names are printed in capital letters.
The general committee charged to organ
ize the banquet. issued a manifestation in
which they set forth that ''the object Of the
demonstration fixed for Tuesday is the legal
and pacific exercise of a constitutional right
the right of holding political meetings, with
out which representative government would
only be a derision.
The Ministry having declared and MAIN
tanned at the tribune that this right is subjec-
ted TO the good pleasure of the police. depu-
Ties OF the Opposition, peers Of France, ex-
deputies, &C., &C., have accepted the invi-
tatIon which was made to take part In the
demonstration, in order to protest, in virtue
) OF The law, against an Illegal and arbitrary
pretension.
After setting forth, at length, the order of
proceedings &c, to be observed, they say tho
committee. convinced that this demonstra-
ton will be the more eficacious the more
calm, and the more imposing the more it shall
avoid even all preteXt 10 conflict, invites the
citizens to utter no cry, 10 carry neither flag
nor exterior sign; il invites the National
Guards who may take part in the demonslra-
} lion to present themselves without arms; for
it is desired to make a legal and pacific pro-
= test, which must be especially powerful by
t their number and the firm and tranquil atti-
tude Of the citizens. The committee hopes
7 that on this occasion every man present will
= consider himself as a functionary charged 10
= cause order to be respected; it trusts in the
. sentiments of the Partisan population, which
T desires public peace with liberty, and which
o knows that, 10 secure the maintenance of its
rights, it has only need of a peaceable de-
monstTallon, as becomes an intelligent and en-
lightened nation, which has the conscious
n ness of the irresistible authority of its moral
power, and which is assured that it will
cause its legitimate wishes to prevail by the
S legal and calm expression Of its opinion"
At this late stage, the Ministry made
known their intention Of stopping the banquet
In the Chamber Of Deputies, in answer 10
demand from Odillon Barrot, NJ. Duchate
;, declared, that, after the published manifesto
d ton, the Government had decided to Tesor
to measures of force, to prevent the procee
d dings from taking, place. The chamber a
once adjourned until The next day, and tn,
n Opposition Deputies repaired to the house o
Odilon Barrot, whence, after consultation
= they resolved not to attend the proposed ban
quet, and announced the same 10 the eveninI
paper.
