FRANCE.

We shall not regret 10 see France a monarchy, il she
cannot improve her present condition. Her government
is now a cheat and a lie. Her President is an armed
despot, and her legislature a place where The DEGREES Of
tyranny are registered and a~pplauded by the cheers OF
the majITity. She does daily what brought lnsnrrectlon
to the doors Of the Emperor Of Austria. what banished
Metternich, and what wrnng concessions from the mon
archy OF Prussia. She suppresses the freedom OF speech
-muzzles the press-and destroys the liberty Of the sub
Iceland all with frghtiul impnnlly. To call such "A
government IA Republic" is an outrage upon mankind;
aud we shall not complain 10 see France throwing of
the thin disguise which cannot hide her infamous con-
duct from The gaze Of an indignant world. From late
correspondence and foreign papers, we take The following
evidences Of the bach ward strides she is making:
A late Paris letter in he London Economist contains
the following development:
81 know an honorable gentleman who went on Sun
day last t0 A niens. in arder t. see he President review
the National Guard of that town and deliver colors. As
he is an officer in the aiional Guard Of Paris, aud had
pat on his regimentals, he was placed in the same rail
way train as the Presidents retinue, and he was much
surprised and rather scandaliZed about the language
which he heard in it. NJ, Fiasln de Persigny, the aid
de-camp to the President, declared openly that Louis
Napoleon ought to be Immediately proclaimed Emperor
of The French. Others preferred a consulate for life or
for len years. But all of them were unanimous in think
ing that a coup d'etdt must soon take place, and they
said that if hey did not make haste, they would be an
|licipaicd by the l~egitimists, who are very active in their
~intrigues in favor Of the Count of Chanbord."
The Paris correspondent of the New York Ttibune
says:
at clearly follows from all this, that we arc advancing
toward the restoration Of Monarchy in France, demanded
by the electors Of universal suffrage, under the influence
of the power Of po-Ners, ds almighty Dollar"
we shall see whether Cavaignac and other military
politicians will be as ready to offer their swords to estab-
iish A true Republic as they were in offering assistance 10

a STRANGE CONFESSION

The Washington Union has a peculiar mode Of de
lending IT'S friends. In It's issue of the % August, ii an
nolnced that in a day or two it would give the details of
the mysterious dedication that Judge Mason was alb
sent from Richmond hui that no stigma could rest upon
any one tor the loss 10 the public treasury u, n j 000' =
People have been watching for the promised rev atoms;
but three weeks have elapsed, and there are no deyelop
menis yet,
In the meantime. however. it lets out a few se-rels,
which have a grave bearing upon the subject. H. It's
number tot the 9Th of Augus,, il says:
1T was not necessary To remove him ODenby) Ia de
lect his default. II ios hn0,cn bciorc he ,ens superseded
that cotnmeTcial embarfassments Of a house IN Richmond
and Of commercial houses in France, with whom it deali
had deprived him Of he means of meeting all his engage
ments with the G5vernmenl, and that Nathaniel Denny
cannot be classed with dishonest defoulters."
Again, IN the Union of the Sfh, we find the following,
"And as to DENLY, II was not necessary 10 remove hun
b. discover his defalcalion. The late Administration
hnec The fact, and his office had ceased before the present
ylgllant watcl-dogs of the Treasury had come in"
The Union is in the habit Of denying its own produc-
tons, and we shall therefore preserve the numbers from
which we make the foregoing extracts.
They are very significant, and they directly implcate
Mr.. Polk and his SecretaT ms Of the Treasury and The
Navy. The SubIreasufy act expressly declares that
every receiving Or dlsbursing officer OF agent, who shall
neglect. evade. or violate the provisions ot this act, shall
by the Secretary of the Treasury, be Immediately report
ed 10 the President of the United States, with he ficls
Oh such neglect. evasion or violation; and also to Con
gress, If In session, and if not in session, at the com
mencetnent OF Its session next after The violation takes
place.
The Onion says, "he last Naturalization hncc Me
Jact'. and although lis existence only ceased with The
last Congress, no report was ever made to il of "thc jact."
80 far from it.. Mr.. Polk, IN his last annual message, held
the following language:
"Under this system (~speakiog of the SUBJ Treasury
the public finances have been carried through a foreign
war, involving ihe necessity of loans and extraordinary
expenditures, and requiring distant tTansfe rs, aud dis
easements without embarrassment and no loss has oc-
CURED Of any ofhe public money deposited under its
proUisious .-.Nr. Poik's Message, December :, 1913.
This is certainly a curious exhibit. Mr.. Polk cettifies
that no loss has occurred of any of the public money !"
and his organ, the Union. now afims. that he OF his
Administrators knew of Denby's defalcation,

LEILA GREY.-A BALLAD.

The tassels wave upon the birch
The maple bushes DER the stream
And through the oticl OF the church,
| see the May moons yellow beam.
Oh, here upon tn moss green wall,
Another year, another MAY,
lsaw tn same sweet MOONLIGHT fall
On me and Leila Grey.
Coldlay her languid hand in mine
Pale, pale her face beside me shone.
"Sweet Leila Grey. asl am thine,
Say, say that thou art all nv own,
She SMILED she sighed, 'behold, - she said,
"Where, irom the church tower darkly thrown
The shadow OF the cross lies spread
BY yon sepulchral stone;
''There, ere the M%ay-moon comes again,
The hand that presses thine willie;
Before the reaper cuts the grain,
The death-mist Will DER cloud my eve.
But oh, dear Willie do not weep,
Forlam weary, weary here
And fain beneath yon cross would sleep,
Before another year
"But when another Nav returns,
And throug ht he oriel of the church
The golden moonlight dimly burns.
And lights the tassels of the birch
When yonder maple, by the tower,
Stand blnshing like a virgin bride,
oh come, dear Willie, at this hour,
And seat thee by my side -
Sweet leila | obey thy call
The May-noon llehts the tassellod birSh,
And upon the moss grown wall.
All sitting near the gray old church,
The shadow OF the cross is thrown,
Where CLEANS a marble tablet now
Twas all the same twelve months agonc-
Bot. Leila, W here ant thou ?
