The French Republicans in New York.
The demonstration to be held tonight by
the French Democratic Club of this city, to
favor and sustain the republic now existing in
France, commands the sympathies of a vast
mass Of our foreign and our native residents
alike and, judging by the preparations made,
we may expect that it will be spirited and
striking affair. The French journals of this
city commended it enthusiastically in their
editorial columns yesterday morning, and, in
addition to the utterance of its own sentiments,
the Courier des Etats Uasis makes the follow
ing appeal to our own people "to the manner
born L.
What we ask OF the Americans ana Of the other
populations Of various nationalies VINO breathe the
free air of this country Is, that they should ex-
press, by some high public manifestation. the
interest they feel In seeing lne democratic
consequently, developed in Europe. Whether
France should eventually succumD or triumph
Germany, all the peoples are interested in
preventing the m0narChica reaction which Is one
OF the foreseen results OF thus war; 1t Is clear that
France, supposng that she should not succeed in
expeng her foes, Will not until thoroughly drained
OF her olood. submit to the yoke OF monarcnlcal,
much less OF Bonapartls restorati0n; but II Is
equally clear that such is the aim to which the fury
OF our enemies Is tending ana that ii they I'm
pacaby seek our ruin IL Is in order to conquer IN
advance the resistance which we Should NOT fail to
make to the destruction OF the republic. The repub.
lie erect in France Is the living propaganda or demo-
cratic institutions throughout all Europe-lt is the
republic in permaEence. On the other hand, the
empire, re-establshed by foreign bayonets, would
be Tor our country but the perpetuatlon OF discord,
| The completion cf ruin and the crushing down, for q
| long time, at least, OF that liberal progress OF
which France is The central hearth. And,
! nole well this fact: all the peoples are in-
/ terested in this protest against obscurantism
/ and armed pressure-the Germans like the rest.
There are others than Janlaarles OF despotisn
! in Germany; there are peoples also, who are AMI
mated with the m0lern spirit; and II the Germans
residing here naturally enough wish for the success
Of their country's arms We are nevertheless, con-
vInced that most OF them wonld leel the profoundest
sorrow al behOldng this national satisfaction made
the means Of chaining down the democratic aspira-
| tiOns OF their own c0untrymen.
| such is the meaning OF the manifestation now
| preparing, and which Is destined to make pro-
found sensation among the peoples Of Europe. one
OF liberty not be left depend the fortunes
Of the war. and that should the fate OF arms
impose the most irremedlabe sacrifices upon
France, one duty would remain to be performed by
the peoples Of all lands, and that would be to save
the republic.
Such are the tone and feeling of those who
have undertaken and will conduct the meeting
to be held tonight and under such auspices ii
can hardly fail to echo far beyond the At
lantic.

King Amadeus En- Route TO Spain.

After all Amadeus, the King elect of Spain,
is not afraid to connect responsibility with
honor-to run the risks which privilege
imposes. For good reasons he did not refuse
the Spanish crown. For the best Of reasons,
now, he does not allow the festivities of
Christmas week to keep him away from the
noble and chivalrous people who have pledged
to him both heart and hand. The young King
has already set out for Madrid and as he has
spent his Christmas with his family and
friends in Italy the presumption is that he will
spend his New Year with his new friends
amid scenes made sacred by the memories of
the Catholic King and Queen, Ferdinand and
Isabella, and by the great Charles and by the
not less renowned though less lovable
Philip the Second. Let us hope that Spain,
under new and prosperous dynasty, will re-
vive somewhat Of her ancient power and glory.
AS the Dutch William took to England with
him the Bentincks and the Kappels, the
ancestors of the Ducal Houses of Portland and
Abemarle, so Savoy Amadeus takes with him
Cialdini and no doubt many others. Spain, it
seems, must have king. We shall not be
sorry if Spain and the new King and the new
mobiles all prosper. We shall not be the less
sorry that we think Spain might have done
better.

Count dc Chnudourdy'- Views ON the situa-

Count de- Chnudourdy's Views ON the Situa-
Our special report of an interview held at
Bordeaux by one of our correspondents with
Count de Chaudourdy, the Minister Delegate
for Foreign Affairs, will be read with interest
as embodyng the views of prominent men,
Der Of the French government. The Count,
though the antipodes of Gambetta in appear
ance and manner, is not less decided than that
irascible and profane Minister in his express
sion of resolution to fight out the war to the
bitter end rather than submit to the terms OF
Prussia. II not as hopeful OF the future
as Gambetta, Chaudourdy is none the
less defiant. Peace, based upon surren-
der of French territory. is he declares, dis
honorable and consequently inadmissible. He
would prefer to see France financially and
otherwise ruined rather than transfer his
conntrymen to foreign rule. At the same
time he believes there is chance Of final sue
cess for the French arms. Three months ago,
said Count de Chaudourdy to our correspon-
dent, il was difficult to inspire the people with
courage; to-day the government has to re-
strain and direct their patriotism. Time will
effect change in the military situation; the
army has not lost confidence, If even it has
been defeated, and IL has gained in discipline
and military experience. Undoubtedly this is
a favorable report. Unfortunately we know that
it is highly colored. Our correspondents and
Bishop Dupanloup agree in representing the
French as heartily sick Of war and ready to
make peace upon any terms short of degrada-
tion. OF course 1t was not to be expected that
the Minister of a war government would repre-
sent the French people in this light. Perhaps
Count de Chaudourdy, like Gambetta, has
none but roseate visions of the future, and for
the sake of poor France, already so badly
punished and her cities and fields so ravaged
and devastated, we could wish that they were
not hallucinations.
Count de Chaudourdy's remarks on the posi-
ton of gland were not without Importance.
They indicated feeling in which regret. pity
and even contempt seemed mingled. The
the blow keenest of all other nations if she per-
mitted the destruction of France, and he ap-
peared to derive melancholy satisfaction from
the thought OF Italy he spoke with the deepest
Indignation, accusing her of ingratitude
toward benefactor, and referring to her as a
treacherous, cowardly nation. All this may
mean nothing but it may also bode no good for
tho future of the Italian kingdom. France is ma
ton Of strong antipathies. To use the language
of one of her own sons, she forgives an injury
only after she has revenged it, and it may be
that in time to come she will remind Italy of
the day when the Italian government stood
quietly by and witnessed her humiliation with
out raising voice against it. But we must
leave these reflections for the present. Count
de Chaudourdy's views are quite interesting
and will be SO considered by all our readers,
to whom we present them this morning as
contribution to contemporaneous history and
as another evidence of the enterprise of our
correspondents.

THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY elsewhere we
give the statement of member of this CON-
munity in regard to the Royce divorce case,
with which, it has previously been stated,
the Community was scandalously connected.
According to the present statement it
appears that the Community had no
connection whatever with the action for
divorce on the part of Mrs. Royce, and
that it would be against their published
regulations to receive her or any one else into
the Community at present. Their company
has been full since 1867, it is immensely
wealthy, and no new members are wanted to
share their riches. This Oneida Community
bears within it the germ of the trouble that
has already arisen regarding Mormonism, and
the social question apparently is so delicate
that it will not be settled until the communists
are al least as strong as the Mormons.
