IH8 LIBERTY OF THE TkESS In rHANCH'
The address of Count De Persigny to the pre-
fleets on the limits of the press in France more
than realizes our anticipations, founded on the
Imperial decree which Immediately preceded
it The pith of the document, after tracing
the history of the severe restrictions placed
npon the press in England, from the period Of
the accession Of the House Of Hanover TO the
Stuarts, lies in these words:-"f all parties,
all writers, really submitting to the constitu-
tive laws Of our society, to universal suffrage,
which has founded the throne Of the Napoleons,
In order to make it the basis Of our institutions
If those parties, those writer's, respecting the
will of the French people, only desire the
liberty Of the press for the maintenance and
prosperity Of the State, then they have, in fact
and in law, the liberty Of the press in France
asiu England, and the law on warnings be-
comes dead letter"
This is an important concession, and there is
no doubt that henceforward the press in France
will have full liberty to expose abuses in
society or in the government; to discuss the
acts Of the administration; to reveal injustice,
much more freedom than has hitherto been
tolerated. "For," says the Minister, "That
the movement of ideas, Of sentiments, Of con-
trary opinions shall everywhere awaken social,
political, commercial and industrial life, who
can reasonably complaint But thus far
shalt thou 60 and no farther; and If there are
parties who propose to themselves not to have
their ideas, their doctrines and their sentiments
accepted by the government Of the State,
but to overthrow the State itself, then, we are
told, whatever may be the weakness of those
parties, respect for the national feeling, law and
interest will not permit that passions hostile to
established order win be kept s1ive
This is all fair enough, and Louis Napoleon
has made step in the right direction in grant
ing these privileges Butwe are tempted to ask,
how long will they last The spirit of the
French people is highly and unchangeably
revolutionary, and the argument that applies to
England will not apply to France. We shall
therefore witness, sooner or later, as
result of these concessions, collision
between the government and the press,
for the reason that the press Is the mouthpiece
of the people, and If the one is revolutionary
the other cannot remain long without showing
1t. The people of France have no idea Of .
permanent dynasty, and they only respect that
of Napoleon for the time being. When the
rupture which we prophesy occurs, the limits
of freedom allowed to the press in France will
be more curtailed than ever. In this country
the press is to a certain extent revolutionary
a sort Of half way measure between that of
England and France; but 1t is, ut the same time,
controlled by variety of interests and
opinions, which prevents its becoming the solid
Instrument Of dynastic destruction-if we may
SO speak-that it is capable Of becoming in
France.

WALL. STREET AND THE STOLEN B0NDs.-There
il great deal of alarm and excitement In Wall
street about the Indian Trust Fund bonds
which were stolen from the Interior Depart
ment and put into the market there The par
ties who hold them seem to think that the Of
fence of the clerk only amounts to a breach Of
trust; that, as through the gross negligence Of
the Secretary of the Interior, these valuable
documents Of the government were entrusted
to the keeping of single clerk, not Of the very
highest standing, and that as the buyers of the
bonds were ignorant Of the way in which they
came into the market, they hold them by
legal title, and the government cannot recover
them.
This, we believe, Is . great mistake. Gov
.ernments, to protect themselves from acts like
this, have made offences like that Of Mr. Bailey
felony n the first instance. We GDember
ihaf some time ago two clerks In m, who
stole certain railroad bonds and fed to this
city, were arrested here, and taat the offence
was recognized in our courts ~ felony under
Che French law, and they were accordingly
sent back TO France under the Extradition
treaty. But our own law b explicit upon this
point. Congress made law-which we pub
!. fish in our money article to-day-creating the
crime Of which Mr.. Bailey stands charged dis
iinctly felony, and we cannot see upon what
pretext the authorities at Washington can grant
any immunity to the clerk Of the Interior De-
aartnept in this matter. Russell, who has been
committed to Jail, may no doubt have been .
particeps criminis in the felony-s receiver Of
1he stolen goods; but Bailey was the principal;
and we are inclined to think that every man in
Wall street or elsewhere who holds the stolen
bonds Ia implicated somehow In the transac-
ton. at least to the extent of the loss of the
bonds.
While Congress has appointed committee
10 investigate this outrageous fraud, arising
from the negligence of the Secretary Of the In
aerior, the Grand Jury Of Washington should
fake the matter In hand, and look after every
one in any way connected with y; nor do We
