when they r most needed that they

have been recently, the floating debt
of France has risen to nearly eight

the government with a continual
menace of necessity for a new loan,

the savings funds are more likely to

We know of no more pitiable object in
nature or art than that Of a Southern pa
per like the APPEAL regarding the correct
assertion we made in regard to the two
Northern papers in question, as a compli-
ment 10 one ofthem. II looks very much
as ifthe APPEAL would be pleased to be
in accord with whatever paper is the rep
resentative of any large mass of the
Northern cOnquerors Of the South. FOR
OUr part we look upon such sheets with
the same ewes that beheld them OCCASION

have not changed any more than they
have, and with Gods help we never shall.
Mobile Tribune.
So far as the mere word "compli-
mented " is concerned, our meaning
would have been expressed by the
word mentioned quite as well.
We knew the Tribune would be as
slow to compliment any northern
paper as a "snapping-turtle," and
therefore must confess the use Of the
obnoxious word was rather unfortu-
nate on our part. The object of our
quotation, however, was not to raise
an issue with the Tribune, but to call
attention to the statement of the Day
Book that san overwhelming ma
jorily Of the people Of the North
are IN their hearts bitterly opposed
to all the SO-caUed 'reconStruc-
ton acts:.'n and further we desired
especial attention to the following
paragraph as embodying truth and
moral worthy of notice by the South
ern people:
Every Southern paper which has advO-
Gated submission to the inevitable or
I" giving Up TO manifest destiny" has
tempted the enemy TO deeds of insult
which he ever would have dared to in
fict without this sort of encouragement.
The Southern people may be sure that
Congress will heap upon them every bur
den which any number Of Southern pa
pers and politicians will advise submits
sion to. Whatever helps to discourage
the South, is a help to mOngrelism. Ev-
cry newspaper article which breaks the
hopes or sOftens the esperity of The
Southern people, immensely aids Con-
gress in lis work of oppression n tor
ture. The more the Southern press is
loaded with bombs, and the more deter
mined and defiant the Southern pluck,
the sooner will the tyrant relax his hold.
Convince him that his reign cannot be
eternal. bu that every misdeed is one
day to be punished with a terrible ven
geance, and he will very soon begin TO
cast about TO see how he can most safely
let 60 his hold.

THE PROVINCES THAT RUSSIA w

It is believed in London that n OF
the objects of the war on the part OF
Germany Will be the recovery OF the
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine,
| which contain the modern depart
ments of Mouse, Mosselle, Meurthe,
Vosges, Lower Rhine and Upper
Rhine.
The department of MeuSe has 6lO5
square kilometres and about 1000 OO
inhabitants. 1t is subdivided into
four districts or arrendissements-Bar
Commercy, Verdun, Northumberland
produces iron, olives, grain, marble
and stone in abundance, and Is a great
manufacturing centre, principally o.
linen and cotton goods, bonnets, OILS
and cOnRflHeS (sweetmeats.)
The department of Moselle has a
population of nearly hall "a million,
and an area of 53H square kilometres.
1t is another manufacturing center OF
great Importance. Its capital is Metz,
to which she PrusSians are said to be
marching, and where Napoleon Is con-
c~entrating his army. This city is a
very important stronghold, just in the
middle of the territory comprising the
six above-named departments. Metz
is at BIZ kilometres, or go miles east
northeast of Paris. It's population is

turing and commerce.
In 923 Metz fell into the hands ofthe
Emperor of Germany, Henry the
Bird Q'Oiseau) and remained in the
power of Germany until 1852, when
the French captured it. Charles V.
attempted to recover it in the next
year, but it was successfully defended
by the Duke OF Guise. However, up
to 1850, the bishops OF Metz continued

The department of Meurthe has
61O0 square kilometres Of territory,
and a population of 4j0, 000inhabitants.
Nancy is its capital.
VosgeS is the next department to
the south, with nearly as large d pop
ulation and an area of $3.50 square
kilometres.
The Lower Rhine department was
formed out of the north of Alsace, has
a population of 600, 900 inhabitants,
and an area of 1917 square kilome-
tres.
The agriculture of this department
is the most perfect in France, every
kind of grain, vegetables, the beet
root, the mustard, etc, grow there
abundantly. Its claret wines are eel
ebrated; all kinds of linen and cotton
goods, playing cards, straw hats, can.
dies, therebenthine, tartar, mineral
acids and chemical products in gene
raj, firearms, mineral waters, etc., are
largely exported. ~StrasDourg is its
capital.
In the Upper Rhine the population
exceeds 4j0 1000, and the area is about
1900 square kilometres. Its principal
city is Colmar.
Thus the territory said to be coveted
by Prussia eomprehends the following

The Nashville Union and american,
speaking of the election for Supreme
Judges, calls attention to the law re-
quiring that two of the six candidates
to be elected must resided each grand
division of the State, and each candi-
date in the division for which he is
elected. 1t adds: 1.-THE tickets should
state, as far as possible, the division
in which the candidate resides. The
returning officers must be especially
particular in stating in their returns
the division for which each candidate
Is voled. The Sheriff, Coroner or 9TH
er officer holding the election shall,
within FIVE days after the election,
make out and transmit to the Secre-
tary Of State a true return of the num-
Der of votes received by each candi-
date for Judge, Chancellor and Attor-
ney General. The Sheriff must open
and hold the election unless he be a
candidate. In that event it must be
held by the Coroner, and IN the event
of his incompetency it must be opened
and held as provided for in the Code"
Officers of election and voters should
pay particular attention to these sug-
gestions.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.
France has just plunged into a ire
mendous and uncertain war. But the
other day her legislators were most
anxiously debating the budget. They
disclosed the fact that the round pro-
duct of all the French taxes and reve-
nues is 1911, 709, 100 francs, of which
total it is impossible to eXpend less
than 554,088, 726 and pay all charges.
pensions, etc, or a good deal more
than one-third of the whole disposa-
BILE sum. There remain, then, but
957, O29, 764 to pay the army and navy
and the civil demands, including the
Judiciary, the church endowments,
the various government departments,
etc. These calls amount to about
.948. 900. 900. The remainder ia trans
ferred to the credit OF the ex-
ira budget, and is applied chief
ly to the public works. In
reference to these charges there is
no hope of improvement unless there
be a searching reform and curtailment
of the army. On the contrary they
increase every year, and at every ses-
sion for the past dozen years there has
been a large party to complain bitter
ly over the declining prosperity of the
country staggering beneath the weight
of such burdens. The various fixed
taxes rated per head weigh very
heavily, and imperatively demand
modification. Yet they make up the
great bulk of the revenue. The mano-
rial revenue that comes into the State
