The situation In France.

The situation in France is, as we thought it
would be- lively The reins have been tenn
porariy loosened, and France riots in little
liberty-we do not call it license. The meet
ings yesterday were, like those which have
preceded, turbulent. Nothing new has been
developed. The ''Marseilase' is again
favorite street song as 1t has been any time
during this century when young France has
had q chance to express itself. There is some
noise and not little fun but the situation is
as it was--full of difficulty and full of doubt
In our judgment the ple6iscite is to be
o triumph to the Emperor Napoleon
We cannot and do not in any way
qualify this opinion. But, while saying
all we have said, we must admit that the sur
face life in France is apparently alarming. 1t
is unfortunate that Olivier has lost the sup
port of such men as Buffet and Daru and
Theirs. But as Daru has advised his friends
to vote ''yes' it is manifest that the Orleanists
within their own limited circle are more
divided than is France, taken as whole. The
Oreanists are not more divided than are the
legitimists. Vote eyes" and vote 'No' are
cal ''red' centres alternately. All things
considered, Napoleon has as good a
chance to win in the ptebjscite as the Pope
has in the matter of infallibity. Here,
on this Continent, more than in Europe,
we know the value Of yasa. With al Ou

Ignorance, cnlpable ignorance, on the part
of the parties concerned in changing the inter-
nal structure of the building. The Richmond
reporter of the Associated Press gives this ex-
planation -
An experienced architect who has reviewed the
pan 0 tae Capitol building, says that the girder
which gave way was composed of two pieces OF
timber, boltcd together making, when combined
an area OF tilt by twenty inches II was formerly
suppolte by columns which were subsequently re-
moved t, improve the appe trance OF the al OF the
House Of Delegates. la the centre of the grder was
mo- tce wh,cp reduced the available strength 10
nine ald hllf by twenty inches. The fatal error was
in making interior Changes without examining the
girders with reference - their capacity TO endure the
new stress placed upon them.
OF course, the pillars which the original
architec. put in for the support of the floor
above being removed, that floor, under the
weight of twenty-five or thirty additional tons,
came down, with everything attached. Twenty
five or thirty tons extra weight upon that
girder OF nine aud half inches diameter in
its joint was too much. But those supporting
columns were removed to improve the ap-
pearauce of the hall of the House of Dele
gates" Bnt 80 it is. The plainest lessons Of
common sense have to be learned through the
sacrifice of hecatombs Of men.

Gross Misrepresentation Of Our Telegraph
MonOp0iists-Facfs and Figures.

Gross Misrepresentation Of Our Telegraph
Monopolists-Facts and Figures.
We publish in another part of this days
paper letter from our London correspondent
refuting the gross misrepresentation which
the telegraph monopoists of this country have
made to the committee of Congress on the
working of the government telegraph system
in Europe. We recommend the committee to
read the unanswerable facts and figures of
our correspondent, and call upon Mr.. Wash
burn to lay them before that body. The
President of the Western Union Telegraph
who have testified before the Congressional
committee are completely used up. Tables of
distances, with the charges for messages, are
given both for Europe and this country. The
comparison shows that the charges here are
enormous, while in the different countries of
Europe, under the governmental system, they
are very moderate. Double, treble and quad
ruple rates are charged here over those in
Europe But it is not only in the extravagant
charges of the private monopoly on this side
excluded from the use Of this great and useful
agent of progress and civilization. In the
hands Of the governments on the other side Of
the Atlantic the telegraph is within the reach
Of every man. 1t is fast superseding the use
of the Post Office, and there is no doubt that
in short time it will be the principal means
Of communication for the whole people. We
shall see the same result produced by cheap
ening the rates as has been experienced by
cheap postage. The reduction of charges will
! lead to an increase Of business, and the reve-
nue. of the governments will not suffer Again
we call the attention of Congress to the facts
and figures presented by our correspondent,
and hope they may have the effect Of convinc-
ing that body that governmental postal and
telegraph system combined is urgently needed
! for this country.

knowledge we must admit that both the Pope
and Nap leon are going to win. Why should
they not? If they can they have good right.
If the Pope can make himself infallible, and if
Napoleon can make himself master of France,
we have no cause of complaint. We only
look on and chronicle facts. If the facts
don't suit us we rejoice that we live in America
and rot In Europe

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA -
Governor Scott, in fifteenth amendment
speech in Columbia, S. c., on the 2lst inst,
advocated woman suffrage. The papers con-
slider this new bid for favor on the part Of
the Governor. Everything in South Carolina
seems to follow the example OF the raccoon in
the case Of Captain Scott, which ''came down
without requiring shot from the famous
uaxksnan.

Congress Yesterday y--ssnrGeld's New Einun
cioi Scheme.

t"u1Scss hcstefuuy -6urhetUs NOW rAhun-
cioi scheme.
The concurrent resolution providing for a
painting of General Thomas to be placed in
the Capitol was discussed in the Senate yes
terday with what seems to us TO have been
little acerbity. Mr.. Howard objected because
he could not forget that there were other gene
rails as distinguished, and he thought singing
out General Thomas for this honor might cause
eavy or rivalry. The Committee on the Lii
brary were given charge of the resolution, and
we hope they will report it for passage at an
early day. None Of the generals who compare
with Thomas are liable to envious feelings
over dead comrade, and, as to the precedent,
If 1t is not already an established usage to re-
tain the pictures or statues Of our distinguished
dead, it should be established at once. Mr..
Wilson introduced his bill to provide . new
mode of ofselecting cadets His proposition is
similar to the one we urged some time ago Of
operation a year ago we would have been
spared the shameful disclosures made in the
recent cadetship sale investigations. The
question of improving the ventilation of the
halls of Congress came up and was passed. 1t
is for the purpose merely of making expert
ments in that way, but we would warn Con-
gressmen and the architects to be careful not
to fall into the error of the architects of the
Richmond Capitol and weaken the supports
while improving the ventilation.
A number of private army bills were dis
posed of by the House, and the proposition to
grant lands for the construction Of a railroad
line in Oregon came up. Mr.. Holman, Of
Indiana, made an able argument against it,
showing that it was the first of one hundred
and seventy like it, proposing to give away in
the aggregate two hundred and fifty million
acres. The road under consideration is to be
only one hundred aud thirty miles long, and
yet the bill granted the company nearly mil
lion acres of land. The bill was passed, not
withstanding this ruinous exhibit. Mr.. Gar
field introduced new financial bill, which
provides for issuing nnety-6ve million dollars
of currency to States having less than their
proportion and for the cancellation of forty
five million dollars of three per cent certlfi-
Gates and forty million dollars of legal tenders.
1t also provides for free banking on the gold
basis This proposition is equal, in fact, to
a proposal to withdraw ninety-fve millions of
money, for the use of which we pay one and a
half per cent interest, and to substitute ninety
five millions of money on which we must pay
tour and one-half per cent, or to take the
present interest money from the mass Of the
people, who now get it, and give it with an
additional bonus Of three per cent to the
national banks, which already have enough.
Judging from the disposition heretofore evinced
in the House, we think the bill is sure not to
pass, and that it is only intended as bit of
buncombe to tickle the fancies Of Western con-
sttuencies.

"But l wish to grow independent

up straight, and not be a mere de-
pendent upon you"
Nature" answered the oak, ibid

President "My Policy the

CALVIN. C. Bryant's laper.
Senator Sumner opposed the Pre-
sident's San Domingo scheme
Thereupon the President removed
and, as far as he could do so, dis,
graced Senator Summers friend,
Mr.. Motley.
Senator Schurz opposed the Pres
ident's San Domingo scheme. And
now the President removes from CT
fee Senator Schurz,s friend in MIS-
souri,.
When the Senate rejected the
San Domingo treaty, the President
who had, as is very well known
in Washington, stopped 10 very du-
bious expedients to WIN support IN
the Senate for that measure, which
had no friends anywhere but in the
Presidents own ho1sehold-threat-
ened to punish" the Senators who
voted against the treaty and were
conspicuous in opposing it, by re-
moving their friends from Office
He has now, in two promInet cases,
carried oat his purpose.
General Grant does not entertain
q very high opinion of Andrew
Sohnson. Docs be know that he is
imitatingMr Or. Johnson il one of the
acts which made that person most
odious to the people I? Mr.. johnson
was head strong. wllful, determin-
ed and when my policy as he
called 1t, met with opposition, he
punished" those who dared to diff
fer with him, just as General Grant
is now d~unIshing Senator Schurz.
Mr.. Johnson had a policy which,
whether right or wrong, had at
least the merit of concerning a
question of real Importance. If be
i~nterfered IN elections and punished
his opponents, it was because be
believed that the future welfare Of
the country depended upon the sue
cess of my policy"
But General Grant IS interfering
in elections and Furnishing Senators
because they opposed a mere ca
price of his ; a measure, too, which

try, aud whose only trIends-aside
