Mr.. EMILE DE GrRARDIy, of Paris. tn.
founder and editor of the Resse, is celebrate<
not less as publicist Of great ability and r.
markable eccentricity than through the socia
prestige which his saloons acquired durinp
the i'ie-tins of his late wifs--Delphine Cay
VINO was one OF the most gifted and brilliant
literary women of Paris. Mr. Girardin' edi.
toriai articles are perfect gems of logic, spec.
niatlon, and antithesis Unfortuately for his
fame and peace of mind, this able Journalist
| has taken it of late into his head that he i
destined to become the Moliere or the Shake
peare Of the French stage, uncbnscious of the
fact that his sharp logic, viii 3ch makes his
originality as q journalist, must paralyze his
Success as dramatist- However, he wrote
play called lie Supplice dunk Fezme, or,
A Woman's Agony. The groundwork OF
ideas was admirable, but it required all the
skill of the younger Dumas to adapt it to the
stage. The play met with brilliant success,
which Grardin attributed to his genius, whilst
the public gave the credit Of it 10 Dumas.
This made Girardin furious, and for a month
pamphlet upon pamphlet was showered upon
the Paris world, in which Girardin attempted
to prove that the merit Of the play was solely
his and not that of Dumas. However, the
facts were against him. He suffered 20 in
tensely from this loss Of prestige, that the
play has been appropriately called Le Sup
pfice d ,.,.s Aate.r. or The Agony Of an Au-
tlor. To recover from his disappointments
aud to show that he can produce an excellent
play without the assistance Of other ,iay-
wrghts, he has recently brought out = new
comedy, entitled Les Deux .Soeuys, (the two
sisters in the hope Of creating an unprece-
dented enthusiasm, instead of which he has
met with = crushing failure Only the talent
Of the performers saved the play from being
killed after the first act by the hisses Of the
public. although the house was Lacked with
Girardin's friends, including the Princess
Murat. the Princess Charlotte Napoleon, and
all tLe social, literary and artistic notabilities
of Paris After the performance of . new
play it is customary in French theatres TO
announce the name of its author. This, how
ever, is only done when play is successful
But on this occasion, to the surprise of
everybody, Girardn caused his name to be
publicly proclaimed, to lot the Parisians
know that though they were disgusted with
his production. he was none the less proud of
It. This tenacitv is characteristic fc of the man. |
The stormy scenes after the fall Of the cur |

all the turbulent annals of the French stage |

of sneers and with q universal iaonical cry for |

The Courier de Z Ain, France, vouches for
the truth of the following incident as having
occurred during the recent municipal elections:
The commune of Bergeres elected nine wo-
men for its municipal councillors with the
Mayor at the head of them. The Mayor
apparently understood what this meant, fol
he at once gave in his resignation.

Col. BoYSroN. who has made an extensive

State, writes, August 10Th, to the Cincinnati
Gazette
al the papers of the State, aided by land
brokers in search of purchasers, and by the
milk and water statements of the Governor.
cannot conceal the fact that the leading in
huences Of society here are all of them as Bit
terly arrayed against the Government as at
any moment of the war. So far from having
been misrepresentad at the North. the truth
has never been half told.
Thedanger is, that State which showed it
selfto be completely in the hands of few un-
prineipled men when the rebellion began will
prove as weak again in its day of decision.
*The authority Of the Government to
execute its military orders is utterly denied
by the local policemen and magistrates when
ever these orders involve the crimes and dis
orders of citizens The mere pre-
sence of troops is looked upon as tyrannical,
as an imposition, as an infringement of their
rights, and an insult to their loyalty.

There is much more that we have no room
TO quote. and we quote this not SO much for
its novelty as because it confirms, in re-
marE,,te way, the statement of Gen. Ruger
which we referred to recently, that the pre-
sence Of the troops is still necessary in North
Carolina to enforce order and protect its
black citizens against the whites.

THE New York Commercial A5rertiser, a
conservative paper, with strong Democratic
tendencies, deprecates the insidious ap-
proaches made to reputation by the Demo
cratic State Conventions, and very pertinently
remarks:
Every intelligent man must see that il
our national finances become the element OF
displacing one political party by another they
are not likely soon to be Withdrawn from the
political arena. Political parties will then
not rest satisfied with repeating the clause
exempting United States bonds from State
and local taxes. New financial measures,
popular with the masses, will constantly be
proposed by political demagogues, and We
leave our readers to imagine the results which
they will produce"

AMONG the most significant measures of re-
form recently instituted by the Russian Gov
eminent is the permission granted to Jews to
establish themselves in all Russian cities.
Thus far they have only been permitted to re-
side in certain places, thus depriving the
greater portion of the country of their COM
mercial enterprise. This new measure, how
ever, Is for the present only an experiment,
as the Government is careful not to make too
radical changes at once.

ID, 18th Ohio cavalry, commanded by Lieut..
A, II. Thomson, went from Chattanooga to
Cherokee county, Alabama, to collect num-
her of horses and mules belonging to- the
Government, which had been taken there by
the guerrilla Gatewood. They divieed into
squads or four men each, and collected a
number of animals without difficulty. To.
wards night, however, one of the squads was
stopped near Gaylesville by number of citi.
zens, headed by man calling himself Depu-
ty Sheriff, and compelled to surrender. They
were then taken to Gaylesville. Lieutenant
Thomson hearing of this, in turn arrested the
Deputy Sheriff. The Sheriff of the county,
named Daniels, then collected about one hun
dred men, who captured all the soldiers ex-
cept Lieut. Thomson's own squad. The lat

The following rather strong points, made by
the General in speech lately delivered at a

Of course have great weight with them. After
treating on several questions, he proceeded
to consider the proper civil status of the
rebels. He defined it as follows.
When the rebels ventuted their all in their
efforts to destroy our Government, they
pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor to their cause. The Govern

to illustrate as well the justice and the mag

persevering in that course, while the right to

denied either III the light of law or in the
sense of retribution earned by the recent
