the crowd is drawn off the scent. This. OF course
is simply party rage, but it shows ON the part OF
those who say such things that they judge the sta
ten rightly in some respects. The truth Is that
nothing ought at this moment TO turn the
eye of the people away from the
acts of the Government. And we ought TO
duty, whether 1t does il in words of dignity ana
sOberneSs and wisdom, such are used by the
Debats the Steele, the MoRiteu, and the Li6e'ie or

Different spirits moved in different ways, ana
the one thing vitality necessary now is to Keep the
French people. leastways the Paris people, IN uie
way they have entered upon. They have forced tle
Government from its position, and forced IT. to9,
without violence. by other than the Ola e'h hn
considered proper to France, by. methods that pear
witness to steady growth in the people as Wen as
In their leaders. And now that the Government
yacillateS, hesitates, plainly, wishes to turn
but by a will of its own, the people must
be true to themselves must not be turned
aside from their set purpose by any change OF pnr-
pose i'll the administration. No doubt, we may be-
eve without laying ourselves open to any charge OF
prejudice. the Government was not sorry to see
something else in the newspapers beside cries for the
cOnvocation of the Chambers cries for the repeal
of the obnoxious article 10 cries for the restOTa-
ton OF the ACCOMPLISHMENT, for the liberty OF the
press, for reform here, there and everywhere. In
this sense, no doubt, 1t may have welcomed the al
fair at Pantin. Certainly, for week, at least, 1t
has allowed the sickly Government a little time TO
rest.
But, already the interest in the murder has begun
to wane, and until the eighth body is actually dis
covered and the trial comes on it is not likely to re-
vive again. The Rappel had stirring article last
night written by Charles Hugo boldly comparing
Coup d Fiat with the murder at Pantn and declaring
that the assassination of '52 was far boOdier and
more cruel deed than the one that for a week has
kept half Paris from sleep He does not name the

by Auguste Vacquerie. 1t consisted i'll sparkling
comparison between the cost of the Government of
Louis Napoleon and that of the United States. The
text drawn from book recently published called
France and the United States" by NJ. de Gardane,
and the sermon was well worthy of the text that
prompted it. Hardly newspaper appears at present
in the in the interest of the Liberal movement which
does not contain some argument drawn from the
working of American institutions. and nobody can
fall into half hours talk with French mechanics,
workmen shOpkeepers, and not be made aware of the
existence of strong interest in country of which
the questions asked by these people surface il
lustratiOn. This interest has reference, among
the Germans. to emigratOn-the French do not wish
to leave FTancebuJ it certainly has reference to
forms that the people dmly hope TO see one day es-
tablshed in France. And if they continue to advance
as they have been doing for the last ten years there
are no reforms desirable to which they cannot easily
attain. c. c.
