ton of the Right 10 Labor a "a absolute richt
which the State is bound Ia secure without llmi-
taton the restoration of the right of conscrpts -
supply their places BY substitutes the absolute
lucompatibllity OF any other public office with
that Of a representative changed into incom-
patibity IN certain cases and the rejection OF the
Trial by jury in civil and police matters. How Tar
these amendments will be adopted by the Com
mittee. or how far they will aiterward be adopted
by the Assembly. 1t is OF impossible - say
The points On which the discussion will be most
warm aud exciting, are the organization OF the
Legislature aud the Right 20 Labor On both OF
these the reaction will employ It's strongest men
and It's most desperate tactics, and on both the ne
publican and Social parties will defend every inch
| OF the ground. As / said, the two Chambers Will
be lost by the reaction, but think they Will carry
the day with regard to the Right TO Labor, point
of ten thousand times as much importance. The
one being a merely political matter the Republic
ans OF all shades and tendencies VIII combine 70
maintain their view in the case the other IS so
cial and only the more Intelligent who remain
faithful 10 the first promise OF the hepuDlc VIII
rally in its behalf This fact adds greatly 10 the
dangers Of the present crisis. The refusal OF the
Assembly TO recognize this, which the working
class have learned 10 regard as the most essen
tal right of citizen, will fill up IN their eyes the
measure of its SINS and prepare the way Tor future
/ scenes OF violence IL will be 10 them even worse
than the refusal OF LOUIS Philippe 70 admit the
right Of citizens to hold public meetings
The first meeting Of the Committee with the
Delegates OF the Bureaux was the occasion OF a
difficulty which came near being serious, bat
which was happily settled without an explosion
The committee had arranged 10 hear the delegates
one by one. and Immediately after the opening Of
the Conference began to call them up to make
their statements. Ia calling them they used not
the respective names Of the delegates, but
the numbers of their bureaux Thus NJ. Gre
mieux was No. 10, VI. Theirs No 3, and so on
The gentlemen thought this was not treating them
with sufficient consideration beside they had ex-
pected TO discuss with the Committee the various
points at issue, and not merely each be called up
on his turn to tell his story and then withdraw
The Committee refused 10 allow any discuss non be-
tween the delegates and its members, for the rea-
son that such a discussion would be endless they
agreed. however, 10 allow each delegate 10 state
the conclusions of his bureaux and the reasons
there Tor at any length and as many times as he
might wish. When all the delegates are heard
the Committee will delibe ate on their suggestions,
and in two or three DAYS after the hearing be ready
with its report There is a great desire 10 urge
forward the Constitution as much as possible.
The liberty OF instruction IS another point on
which there will be a sharp conflict of parties IN
the Assembly though it will be OF religious rather
than political parties. The Catholics will make
an effort TO remove the restrictions which exclude
the Jesuits aud other orders OF their clergy from
any share in the public education OF the country,
but it is doubtful whether they will succeed; the
feeling against the Jesuits is exceedingly strong
and indeed among the middle class generally
there is a great jealousy OF the whole priesthood,
and no sort of respect for religion. Catholic or
other. Among the people, however, there is
very different feeling An instance OF hostility 10
the Jesuits occurred on Tuesday in the Committee
OF the Assembly on Public Instruction petition
had been referred asking the Assembly to take
into consideration the propriety and safety OF al
fha / ts Tn
anti-Jesuits refused to consider It, and wished to
send il 10 the Committee of the Interior, which
would be to put it in the class Of police questions,
or questions of mere administration. The Catho-
lies opposed this with great earncstness the
Committee, they said had no right to make such
disposition of the subject before the main question
of liberty Of instruction had been decided. NJ.
Montaembert SAID that the laws did not prohibit
any citizen from being jesuit, and that on that
ground they were bound not 10 make the proposed
disposition of the matter The antJesuts carried
their point, and the petition went to the Commit
tee OF the Interior
The subject which has excited the greatest in
terest in the doings of the Assembly during the
week has been the new law upon the Clubs some
time since the Minister OF the Interior proposed
on the part of the Government, bill tor their reg
ulation, some features OF which were Thought 70
be sufficiently severe twas referred TO sPe'
cial Committee and on Saturday Rev. Athanasius
Coouerel brought in the report. Nj. Coquerel is
a Protestant clergyman of some distinction and
before the election protested the most liberal sent
ments; there some disappointment at hndlng
him ncliniug the other way. lie SAID IN his
speech on this occasion that number OF the
Committee had been in favor OF making single
article in the law namely, the Clubs are forbid
den" another portion had been in favor of per-
hitting them only for the discussion OF particular
subjects to be specified before hand, such as the
liberty OF instruction, free trade another por-
ton wished 10 give the Government the authority
to close any Club summary without any other
condition than that OF stating Its reasons alter
ward to the Assembly. But none OF these propo-
stions had been adopted by the Committee; they
had i'm the main retained the bill proposed by the
Government, though or two changes winch
appeared essential they had introduced. Among
other things they had thought 1t essential that wo-
men aud minors should be wholly excluded from
the Clubs and for his part he was decidedly OF that
mind. No one he believed who recOllected the
outrages which In the first revolution grew out OF
the participation of women in the Clubs then eX-
isting but would agree that this was a useful re-
striction. Beside, woman was not intended Tor
public life her sphere was the family and the
household and to that she should be restricted.
On Tuesday, the bill was the order of the day,
and the curiosity of the public crowded all the
galleries which are open TO such spectators as are
fortunate enough 10 obtain tickets. The general
features of the bill are these Ii prescnbes the
mode in which a Club may be OVERWHELMINGLY,
by declaration to the Police at least iorty-eight
hours beforehand giving the names OF the parties,
the place, days and hours OF the proposed sessions
1t forbids any Club from taking any other name
than that of the place where II meets so that
there cannot be a Club OF the Rights of Man,
Joinville Club, Napoleon Club, &c. and prohib-
It's any public building from being used by Club.
The Clubs are 10 be perfectly public no woman or
minor to be a member or be present; the meet
ngs not to be prolonged beyond the usual hours
Police officer to be present and 10 have special
place all relations between Clubs associations OF
them, and common petitions from them forbidden,
as well as all public proclamations persons armed
not allowed private meetings OF citizens permit
ted by special permission of the Police this per
mission may be revoked at any time persons
concerned in such meetings without permission
NAV be fined from 25 10 500 francs, and their 9TH
GERS punished by imprisonment from five days TO
six months. Beside these, there are penalties tor
breaking the provisions with regard to the Clubs
such as fines Of from 100 TO 500 francs, and prlva.
ton of civil rights for from one TO five years /
give these provisions as an interesting Illustration
Of the restrictions which are thought necessary
upon free discussion in France.
The first point debated was the exclusion OF
women and minors. NJ Flocon defended the cause
Of the ladies' with all his ability He argued that
they had right TO the instruction on public mat
