VICTOR HUGO AND PARIS.

From the NJ o. Republican
Victor Hugo has fired column of short
sentences at the Germans for besieging Paris.
He does not want Paris hurt 1t is the heart
of civilization. Says this mitrailleur of rhap-
sody, "Athens and Rome were; Paris is"
just so, o Victor, but as Athens and Rome
fell, SO may Paris. They were; Paris may
be. 1t is her own will which is to determine
if she shall succumb or live. If she desires
to continue, let her make peace. If she de-
sires to fall, let her continue to make war.
Germany offers terms; Paris threatens to gail
lotine the ruler who accepts them. It is
manifestly the will of Paris then to perish, if
a surrender to King William is death, as Hugo
considers it to be. All these short sentences
settle no controversies Wars are made for
purpose, and sentences with three words in
them, although Victor Hugo may be their
author, do not serve to obscure the purpose.
When France is ready TO make satisfactory
treaty, the Prussians will be ready to fall
back. Until that time, all this talk about
peace is fox-fre. little dressing down
about Paris will not hurt her. She is too
greatly demoralised to be injured by little
wholesome cashgation. Her splendor has
corrupted the age. Her frivolity has almost
ruined France She is the seat of luxury,

leges granted by the act, the Company are
obliged to have constructed and have the
rails laid upon forty continuous miles west
of New Orleans, within twelve months from
the date Of the report Of the location of the
road, the 18th day Of January, 1870. and
to complete the whole to Texas within three
years from this date. The distance from
New Orleans to the Texas. line, BY the route
selected, does not exceed $40 miles, the
construction of which will not equal in
the cost of and the time required
for completion, the one hundred
and sixty five miles between n. O. and
Mobile, which will have occupied only some
twenty months, and we may safely conclude
that the same period of time will see the
/ road completed through to the Texas line
in any event the Company viii Ger
tainly comply with the requirements Of the
act of the Legislature, which almost ofitself
will afford them the means of constructing
their read. .
shce writing the above, the Legislature
has made another valuable concession to
this Company, in the shap. of four million
bonds, loaned for the purpose Of assisting
in the construction of the road. A bill
is also before congress, grantin to It no.
600 acres of public lands in this State.
With all these facts and figures before
us, no doubt can be entertained Of the
speedy completion Of the road.
