The Revolt in Paris.


Ii will be seen by the news which we give in
another column that the teegraphic dispatch re-
ceved few days since, announcing the outbreak
and final suppression of terrible sediton in Paris
was substantially true. Again has Paris seen bar
rcades arise as if by magic before the tervor of revo-
lutionary enthusiasm; again have the streets been
crimsoned with the blood of a thousand victims;
but not as heretofore has it been the Simultaneous
uprising Of an oppressed people, against corrupt
and tvrannical government twas the struggle OF
4 faction actuated no doubt, by sincere and honest
intentions but still faction against the supremacy
of order and the will OF the majority. 1t is happy
for the cause oflberty that the government had suf
cent strength to suppress the Instruction, for had
the revolt proved successful although France might
not again have been delivered over to the bloody
scenes of 1872, she would at least have yielded to
the rule Of a small part Of her popuatOn-the mob
of Paris. Fortunately the energy OfCavaignac, the
patriotism of lamartne, and the fidelity of the
army and the National Guard, has averted the evil.
Although Lamartine is known to be true republican
and deeply imbued with the doctrines of Fourier
| ism, we We're confident that when those doctrines
| should be attempted TO be forced upon the nation,
| by the subyersion of the government chosen by the
/
among the supporters Of order and liberty. We
were not Mistaken he has fully realized our eX-
pectations, and may now expect that the highest
honors of the Republic will be accorded to him by
the gratitude of the nation. OF his ability none
have ever entertained doubt, and his integrity Is
now placed beyond question. OF all men, he IS
best calculated to fill the station Of President Of the
new Republic. He is the representative Of pacific
progress, and being as radical as the most Demo-
cratic in his opinions he is in favor OF carrying out
his principles Of social reform by the force OF reason
and not by the power Of terror. such is the man
whom France at the present crisis most needs, and
such is The man destined to establish her Republi-
can institutions upon firm and enduring iOunda
ton. The first step towards this end must, how
ever. be taken by the Assembly. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the seat of government should be
removed from Paris where it will not be subjected
to the influences either of the impetuous Partisan
mob. or the Vaccinations of the foreign emissaries
of royalty. This step we have no doubt will be
! Immediately taken. Ii will give rise to much OPP
position in Paris itself, which has been 50 long ac-
cstoned to consider itself the mistress Of France
! but it will pacy the departments, and IS the only
method Of preserving the Republic from anarchy
| and consequent despotsm.
