The following significant order has lately been
issued by General Trochu commanding In Paris:-
A succession Of facts OF very serious na5ure has
convinced the Governor OF Paris that the principles
which constitute the honor ana strength OF troops
have become relaxed In the corps d'armees OF 81
Denis The sentiment OF duty, obedience to reeu-
lations respect to officers are sometimes imperfecty
appreciated; and such deviations cannot be tole-
rated in the presence OF the enemy. This state or
things very seriously compromises the reputation
and dignity OF the troops, and has been a source OF
danger 10 the cause OF defense. The enemy fail not
TO take advantage OF disorders which occur before
their eyes, and the Government has learnt
with equal indignation and surprise, that
cannot be comprehended either by the troops
or their officers, is occasionally established he
tween our advanced posts and those or the Prus-
SLAMS; and IL is at moment when all minds and all
he arts should be omitted In the effort to bring about
an honorable result 70 the defense OF Paris that
hear OF those evidences OF deteriOratef military
spirit in corps d'armee to which had confidently
intrusted the charge OF one of our most important
positions. had sent thher great majority OF the
sons OF Paris because they had pledged themselves
TO defend their homes with an energy which should
not shrink before any sacrince. My severity will be
exercised TO its fullest extent to recall TO sense OF
duty those who may fail to observe its Dictates but
/ entertain firm hope that shall have no further
occasion 20 condemn and that my appeal TO the
patriotism and honor OF the officers, sub-0ficers
and soldiers OF the corps darmes win not be in
vain.

The history OF this house goes back TO 1882. In

the business in his own name from 1884 TO ls4s, in
partnership John Reed Jr, and James T. Fields,

freely upon the question but in the hurry of making
up the document in time to send 1t to Congress, he
omitted to do so. His purpose to call attention
in the first place, to the general misapprehenslon
prevalent in the country, that large number OF
people are dlsfranchsed in the South by the four
teepth amendment and by the legislation OF Con-
gress.
This belief, which has been fostered by the De-

people of the South ought first to accept the four

that they fully acknowledge their validity, be-

Congress has to grant amnesty Is by virtue
OF the authority conferred by the four
