The progress of events in France continued
to absorb public attention throughout Europe.
The President had proved completely success
full in his coup d'etat, the various attempts ar
resistance in Paris having been promptly met
and put down. In the departments the resist
ance to the movement is described as having
been partial, and strictly limited to the extreme
republicans, as in Paris, and had been as vig-
orously repressed.
1t may be said, in the Presidents language,
that + rance has accepted the situation. Although
there has not been the enthusiasm in his be-
half which he anticipated, there has been a
taclt and almost universal lcquescence Many
opponents of LOUIS NAPOLEON preferred his
plan to the supposed alternatives-anarchy or
legitimacy. Few have been found to sympa-
thize with the Assembly, or to deny that the Pre-
sident was forced by the intrigues of that body To-
choose between the surrender of power and
Office and the bold act of usurpation which he
perpetrated Such, at least, is the statement
received via London from France though the
fact that LOUIS NAPOLEON had obtained pos
session of the telegraphic channels of informa-
ton Justliies good deal of caution in regard to
the degree of confidence to be placed in it,
At the latest dates, tranquility was pretty
well restored in Paris. Indeed within few

evidences of the nsurrection.

1t is now nearly half century since the i'm
portance of furnishing the boilers Of marine
engines with continuous supply of fresh water
was first brought to the attention of Congress.
Early in the present century, simultaneously
with the application Of the steam engine to nav
igation, this matter was submitted to Congress,
and was the subject Of report, which may be
found in its archives.
From that time to very recent period
the means Of accomplishing this object has
been desideratum. 1t is now believed, and
indeed it has been demonstrated by sue
cessful experiments, that the proposed end
may be attained by the employment of the
condenser invented by Mr.. PIRssoN. We be-
lieve that the proofs in favor of this improved
instrument are quite conclusive as to its advan-
tages, and We hope that the delays which make
the heart sick may not be interposed between
it and its successful employment in our naval
service.

We learn by telegraph that the Hon. ARCH
rBALD Dixon has been nominated for the office
of Governor of Kentucky, and the Hon. JOHN
B. THOMPSON for that of Lieutenant Governor.
As both of these gentlemen had declined the
offices for which they have been respectively
nominated, we inferred the other morning that
their positions had been reversed by the tele-
graph, but later advices bring us the result as
we have stated it above.
Mr.. DIXON is distinguished lawyer, a
speaker, we understand, of great power and
eloquence, and for many years at different pc
RODS a prominent member Of the Kentucky
Legislature. He is a man of high character
well known throughout the State, and will
make an excellent run.
OF Mr.. THOMPSON we can speak from per-
sonal knowledge, and from our observation Of
his course for several years as member of the
House of Representatives Of the United States
truer man, better WHIe, or a more atten.
tive, judicious, and efficient Representative, il
not to be found on the floor of the House. In
common with many of his friends, we had been
inclined to hope that he would have been Sc
lecteu Dy tne cOnVentiOn iOI the IISt ratner IMAM
the second place on the ticket, though we
have no doubt that, with personal knowledge
of Mr.. Dixon, and greater familiarity with
the matters of local interest entering into the
canvass, we should have arrived at the same
decision with that of the majority of the con-
vention. AT all events, we should have acqui-
esced with all our heart in the decision of our
friends, in a contest between friends. And,
from our knowledge Mr.. THOMPSON, without
pretending to speak by his authority, we think
we may say, with confidence, that he will ac-
cept the nomination Of lieutenant governor, and
will, with entire cordiality and zeal, enter into
the canvass.
The WING party and the Administration
now turn their eyes with interest and anxiety
to the impending election in KENTUCKY. We
are aware that there are many topics entering
into it which embarrass our friends and encour-
age our enemies, but we believe that with a
proper sacrifice of personal feelings, and vigo-
rous and efficient action on the part Of the
Vines, they will triumphantly carry the State.
We believe also that the struggle Of the
opposition will be earnest, active and untiring--
and that it will depend upon the harmonious
and jealous cooperation of the friends. and all

sury Il shall be lawful for the President TO reduce
the number of officers and soldiers, by discharge
or otherwise, in his discretion, to reduce the
ditures within the limits Of this appropriation II
gentlemen wish to reduce the army, let them not
grope in the dark and knock down item after
item. The issue which he had made was fair and
open, without disguise-whether the House will re-
duce the military force. Do mot call on the Exc
cutive Department to support the present army, or
one-half of what il necessary.
Mr.. McGAUGHEY thought that the Department
asked three times az much money as the majority
think it ought to have 1t is duty, he said, to
take the responsibility. For one. he was willing
to take it, and he would not vote to satisfy the ex-
travagant demands for the army proper In doing
this he not at all rejecting on this Administra
ton. The right way to make the Wing Adminis-
traon popular is to make it economical; and II the
Administration will not do this, 1t was the duty OF
tho peoples representatives.
Mr.. MEADE said that the proper way 70 reduce
the army was not to supply the places OF the men
cies occasioned by death and resignation of officers.
And he advocated economy in the army approPri-
atoms.
The committee rose, and suspended the FIVE min
utes rule, (Which allows debate;) and the House
went again into committee when
The amendment of Mr.. ScHENcx was disagreed
to.
The committee struck out the following "for
| mament Of Notifications, 100000" and the APP
preparations for military and geographical surveys
in various parts Of the country, to the amount OF
$4,000; likewise $70. 900 for the further prose-
cution of roads; and $35,602 SO for lighthouses.
| The committee then rose, when
| MIR. BAYLY said that, n to striking out all the
appropriations for military surveys, ne had not q
word to say because tho House have laid the forth
hcation bill on the table, and he did not see why
the military surveys should go on; but, about the
| lighthouses, the House had misconceived the
| whole subject; and he then explained why appro-
priations for this purpose placed in the BILL
| The House refused to concur in the amendment
ofthe committee striking out the appropriation OF
