Cave johnson and the International Postage-His
Interference so,th the Ne,o York Editors.
Cave Johnsons interference with the arrange
ments of the New York press, for receiving slips OF
news and telegraph dispatches by the English
steamers, after all the trouble and expense attend
ing such an undertaking, is regarded here with
universal contempt.
The movement being evidently one for forcing
the English Government into some solt OF a COM
promise for the settlement of an international
postal arrangement between the two countries, but
in this, like all the acts of that profound sage and
statesman, he will come out the little end of the
horn. If, by such course, the object could be ac-
comphshed, the end would justify the means, but
eope on this side do not believe that few slips
of news, placed on board the steamer after closing
he mails at the Post-o office, for the accommoda-
ton of the New York press, would materially af-
feet the revenue of the Post-office department. to
justify such mean, contemplate act.
The time has past, and ne need no longer ex-
pect that such course will gain for him the repu-
tation for economy, for which he has been so long
trying.
BY The last steamer you were advised of the
course to be pursued hereafter by the agents OF
the R. NJ steamship company. From intmaton
received here by Messrs. McIver, the agents of
these steamers, that the Post-ofce authorities at
Washington were going to prosecute any infringe
ment of the Post-office laws, they have given no.
tlce that slips OF news telegraph dispatches and,
in fact nothing intended for the public press, will
be allowed to be sent by these steamers outside
the mail.
Hereafter, the "News Boy" nor no other
"Boy," will have occasion to board these steam
ers before their arrival at Jersey City.
BY permission of the proper authorities at
Washington every accommods ton will be ex-
tended to the press to enable the carrying out the
arrangements which have been completed, Tor re-
ceying news by express and ELECTRIC telegraph
from London, Paris, and all parts of the Continent,
up to the very moment, and frequently, after the
steamer has left Liverpool.
Col Maberley and the Liverpool Postmaster
decided that it is, perhaps not strictly legal to allow
intelligence either written or printed to be sent
by these steamers outside the mails, yet, as the
intelligence was public, and not private, and did
not arrive in Liverpool In time for the mall there
could be no objection to sending outside But
information having been received that these YES
sells were to be prosecuted for doing 30, the agents
have been obliged to adopt such course tor the
protection OF the company against prosecutions on
the American side, very much, as we are assured,
against their wishes.
This abuse, or violation of the United States
Post-office law which Cave Johnson undertakes
to correct, should be matter then for this side,
and not the American side, to interfere with.
The injustice Of the terms demanded of our CO.
vernment, by the English Post-ofiice authorities,
for the settlement of postal arrangement, was
most rascaly; but, long accustomed TO similar acts
of that respectable government, OF course, we
thoughtnothing of it, but this last one of Cave
Johnson, tops the climax.
We have heard 1t intlmated, that, as an offset,
the English government would compel dispatches,
going and coming from the American government

PARIS, Oct. l, 1913.
The Insurgents Remarks Lamartine - Social
isn,-Fremch Habits and Ideas.
Nine battallons of insurgents have been sent out
of Paris to Havre. A new commission has been
appointed to examine the cases of those who have
been sent to Havre second time, and to recon-
mend to mercy, &C., all those whose cases are
found attended with mitigating circumstances. 1t
is estimated that the number will be reduced by
this process, one-fourth part There is strong
disposition punish only the principal chiefs, and
70 allow many of the instruments to escape as
may be practicable and safe. believe only about
two thousand now remain at Paris.
Some twenty or more large barracks have been
erected upon the esplanade in front of the Hotel
des Invalides, for the troops during the winter
they are of a very permanent character, and lndl-
cate that the government believes that they will be
needed for many years to come, in which opinion
concur, although have not changed my opinion,
will succeed; but it requires force to hold In
subsection the turbulent spirits than at first l an
ticIpated.
Socialism has sprung up, the avowed enemy OF
society; and the violence of the press and of the
Assembly, have conspired to give unexpected
strength to the elements of disorder; and although
was prepared to see the leading men of France,
unqualified to understand and to frame wise GO
vernment, upon republican pan, was not quite
prepared for the want of information which exists
upon this subject, and the egotism and vanity
which great an obstacle to their learning, ex
cept at very moderate step. The South Amer-
car States call their governments republics, and
In form they so; in fact, they are military des
potisms; the sword makes and unmakes the SUI
preme Chiefs To a certain extent, the republic of
France must lean upon the sword for its support,
certainly through its years of infancy. 1t will re-
quire years for the French, high or low, to learn
to have any respect for the laws of the country.
There. musket is their law; If they do not like a
man, or a measure, they catch up a musket, and
run and shoot. This is thelridea of a remedy. 1t
Is all the remedy they have had under monarchy,
and they have not yet learned to appreciate the
idea that the republic affords them any other. To
overthrow the present government-that is, the
administration of General Cavaignac-the leaders
rely upon forcible demonstration, not upon bal
lots and a man like Lamartlne avows in the AS
sembly, that he votes for single Chamber, be-
cause he considers that the state OF things is to be
professionally and that in provisional state die
tator is necessary, and that one Chamber is dc
tator. What ideas for statesman founding
arepublic, and forming a constitution, free suf-
frage and dictation Ia constitution having no
checks against the violence of an assembly This
is Lamartine, and his ideas of civil government.
Then, again, the want Of free schools IN the coun,
try, and their system of religion and priesthood,
will retard the progress of information very much.
In Paris, the power Of the socialists is very great,
and the present organization OF society tends to
increase 1t for except property, every other thing
IS nearly common. Eight months in the year,
the inhabitants of Paris live IN the streets and
squares, and dine the restaurants. Thousands
and tens of thousands of children and nurses fill
each one of the large play grounds. Ladies, In
like numbers take their sewing, knitting, &c,
and help fill up the same grounds, sitting all day
under the shade as our ladies' would in their draw
