ganlzed III rfdllcc' At Tic
head of it the people were so
infatuated as to place as Presi-
dent Louis Napoleon, a man
with no previous reputation,
not identified in sentiment with
apv of the political organiza-
tions of the country. He was
chosen simply because he was
the representative of a great
military name, which eaptivat-
ed the public.
His first moves at the head
of the Government were sus-
picious. He consulted no one.
He held little or nointercourse
with any OF the leading political
chiefs. He made a Cabinet of
warm attached personal friends,
who had always been devoted
to him in the darkest moments
of his checkered career. 2
la the army, navy and treas
ury he placed men who were
not known as Republicans, but
were notorious as Napoleonists!
He was a silent and taciturn
man, who acted before he spoke.
He came into office with many
professions of devotion to the
Constitution. He promised to
enforce all the laws of the Re-
public, good, bad and indiffer-
emf. He cultivated the good
will of his army. He opposed
it's reduction. He placed his
favorite officers in those COM
mands where they could render
him, in an emergency, the
greatest service. Those Off
GERS who were too good Repub-
licaus to be reliable for his per-
sonal schemes he sent off on
distant service, or retained
them without command.
He early discovered in law a
stumbling block in the way
It had been provided that a
President of the Republic could
not be reelected. His friends,
in his behalf, made an effort to
repeal this law. The French
Congress was against it, and
the law had to stand.
In a short time there came
the announcement. The Presi-
dent made his coup Tetat. His
creatures swarmed in the War,
Navy, Treasury and Police De-
partments. He controlled the
army. The Congress was ar
rested and dispersed at the
point of the bayonet, and Louis
Napoleon, by the work not OF
a single night but of years of
patient and artful plotting,
placed on his head an Imperial
Crown. His firmest adherents
were the men of money-the
great capitalists of Paris-who
were exceedingly fearful that if
they did not have a strong mill
tary Government there would
be the terrible thing ofrepudia-
ton. The alliance between the
sword and the "money-bags"
subsists to the present day.
The sword collects the interest
on the National securities, and
the National securities main
tain the sword in it's place.
We have drawn this as an
historic parallel to what is pas
sing at the present time in an
other so-called Republic, the
name of which it is unnecessary
to mention.-[ Cincinnati En-
qairer.

one. .
Tomorrow afternoon Manager Taylcure, OF tho

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. 1t appears from
our cable dispatches that while the govern
ment has been victorious at the ballot box the
opposition has taken a shape in France which
may yet prove annoying to the Emperor, If
not destructive Of his dynasty. Everywhere,
It seems, the candidates of the Orleanlsts,
legitimists and moderate republicans have
been beaten. This shows that for the time, at
least, the factions have merged their differ
ences and combined for common purpose.
When opposition to any government takes this
shape it is time for the government to look
out. II was the policy of the uncle 10 divide
the forces of the enemy on the field Of battle
and then crush them in detail. 1t has been
the policy of the nephew to keep alive the
factions, and by means Of division to make the
opposition powerless. II the factions have
mastered these tactics and agreed to act to-
gether we may expect to see in the new
Chamber more alarming divisions. II is q new
movement, and it will be interesting TO watch
its progress.

The latter, being all traders, are found to look
only to their profits, while the hard work in
the field of glory is left to the new comers.
From the picture presented by our Havana
correspondent the future is not promising for
the Spanish party in Cuba. 1t is now eight
months since the revolution first raised its
head, and in this time it has spread over fully
0ne-half Of the island In no one district
where a rising has been made have the Span
iards been able to restore order, although the
great advantages of apowerful army and navy,
abundant resources, enthusiastic volunteers
and an organized government on their side
have been opposed only by a few ill-armed
country bands, without organization or gov
ernment, or arsenals or ships, or resources Of
any kind other than those provided by
tho most determined spirit of resistance.
The rainy season has now commenced,
when the roads Of the country are converted
into deep sloughs and transit is almost impos-
sible. We may therefore look for little change
in the relative military positions of the parties.
The diplomatic and argumentative campaign,
however, is just opening, and from the devel-
opments in public opinion and political pur-
poses which are beginning to appear in this
country, in Cuba and in Spain, we shall not
he surprised to see a remarkable change of
front in the Cuban question before the next
campaign opens in that island.
