misunderstood at Warsaw, or anywhere else, and
il is that " independence" and " nationality" are
two noble symbols, which ought 10 be respected
everywhere, and for which great people will
rush towards death without difference of opinions
and parties.
The Emperor Nicholas is to arrive at Varsovia
on the 7ih of May: great preparations have been
made for his reception.
A rumor, which comes from reliable source, is,
that the insurrecton of the socialists OF Europe has
been decided TO take place at the end of May, at
three different places at the same time which are at
Paris, Berne and London. The Central Democra-
tic Committee OF Cologne has published the result
of the subscription for Germany, which amounts 10
very large sum, and no doubt could reach larger
sum, If necessary. No matter how and when the
socialist movement will take place-it will begin
one day another, and ! fear, for its members il
will be the last of them in Europe, for those who
are against II are more numerous than one would
believe.
The new project of the electoral law has been
presented 10 the National Assembly, and it created
quite sensation. The tribune and galleries of the
building were all filled with ladies' and political
men, and reporters OF the press was scarcely able
10 find my way in that immense crowd / have no
time 10 reproduce the contents of the new law pre-
sented by NJ. Baroche the Minister of the Interiors;
you will find il, undoubtedly, in the English news
papers. Let me only tell you that, in my opinion,
as well as in that OF many political men with whom
had occasion Of spee Ting about it, il is the most
anomalous law ever thought or dreamed of, since
this country was established as a republic. Re-
member that IN ISlS, the cause OF the lnSurrecu0n
of the French people was the electoral law, which
was 10 be reformed, for il was not liberal enough
and now, in 1850, the same government established
by that revolution of 1913, demands the restriction
OF the electoral law, which is too free and too much
extended. Two years ago, the government of
France was opposed 10 advancement and improve
ment of any kind, and this caused its ruin; now,
the actual government of Louis Napoleon wishes us
to draw back. Will it be triumphant In 1913, the
people wished TO change the public suffrage, and
now the government has taken its place. Let me
tell you that General Cavagnac, the only true re-
publican of France, protested against the urgency
of the presentation of the law. This was undoubt-
edly protestation against the law ITSELF and do
not think that the law could be voted and put into
execution, without producing bloody contest
Please TO remark that for the last years the
cialsts had only employed for weapons their votes
against the government; and now, if this arm be
taken away from them, doubt they will seize
iron and steel. and gunshots will soon be heard in
the streets of Paris. The effect of the presentation
of the law, instead of being favorable to the gov
eminent, has produced very bad effect on the
public mind The stocks Of the government, and
of all kinds, have fallen at the Bourse, and no
doubt the panic will soon spread. What future is
left to France! dread TO look forward. We may
soon witness terrible bloodshed. B. H. X.
