THE ADVANCE UPON PARIS RESUMED.
At daylight on the morning after the sur
render of MacMahon's army at Sedan, the
forces of the Crown Prince of Prussia resumed
their march upon Paris. Without an enemy
between them and the Capital, this march will
be a mere promenade to the veterans whom
the rapid pursuit of MacMahon from Worth to
Sedan could not break down. The advance of
the main column will now. doubtless be by
the valley of the Aisne, instead of that of the
Aubc, forty miles further South, through which
the Prussians were moving prior to the de6ec
ton north in pursuit of MacMahOn. Paris is
distant from Sedan by the Aisne Valley not
more than 10 miles, or about ten days march.
The route lies through the richest of the
champagne country, a district which has not
vet been despoiled by either army. There will
be little need to halt for provisions, and
within a week the cavalry of the Crown
Prince will be before the gates OF the French
Capital Indeed, large bodies of German
troops have been in camp for more than a
week about Epernay and Sezanne, less than
90 miles from Paris. These troops, if ordered
to advance simultaneously with the infantry
of the Crown Prince, may be before Paris by
the 8th inst, at furthest.
At Paris the cry is still for defense This
blind rage is natural under the exciting cir
cumstances. The Parisiars have only just
awakened to q knowledge of the deception
practiced upon them, and the humiliation they
have suffered. After few days, reason will
resume her sway. The pOpulace will under
stand how hopeless is the defense they now
demand. They will comprehend, also, that the
past crimes, the blunders, the humiliations, are
those of the dead Empire, not of the reju-
venated Republic; and that their new leaders
may listen with honor and with confidence to
propositions of peace from magnanimous
foe. There is at present evidence neither of
disposition to yield nor of a determination to
renew the fight. With the Regency and its
Ministers, deception and boasts alike have
passed away.
One action of Gen. TrOchu, on whom the
defense now rests has significance which
should not be overlooked. When the advance
of the Prussans threatened Paris, a week ago,
the suburban residents along the eastern ap-
proaches to the city were ordered to remove,
that their houses might be pulled down, to
give the artillery unrestricted play. Gen.
Trochu, since the surrender of MacMahon, has
comtermanded this order, and has directed
the people to remain in their homes until fur
ther orders. The circumstance is trivial
one, perhaps, but we cannot resist the belief
that it is meant as the first intimatiOn that
there will be, can be, no defense of Paris.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-06
TIE DEAD FRENCH MARSHAL,

1t was best for MacMahon's fame that he
should die as he has died, from the wounds
received in his last battle He has fallen as
Napoleon should have fallen, but as that char
latan, in spite of his expressed regrets, had
not the courage to die, at the head of his army.
The disgrace of defeat rests with the captive
Emperor; all that there is of honor for the
defense belongs to the dead Marshal. Napoleon,
surrendering with mock heroics, is laughed at
as the poor actor that all now know him.
MacMahon, dying in last effort to sustain
hopeless conflict, is recognized as hero. There
IS contempt for the Emperor, who should have
dled gnef Tor the gallant soldier who deserved
to live.
Ihe career Of Gen. MacMahon has been
honorable, though not brilliant. His greatest
successes were in the Crimea, where he led the
assault on the Malakoif, and in Italy, where
he commanded at Magenta. He was one of
the lew Marshals of the Empire who did not
prostitute his high Office in subservience
Oh the baser designs of the Emperor.
IL is well known that he was not personal
iaVorites with Napoleon, and that the

MISSOURI,


The conspiracy at Washington last Winter
TO divide and destroy the Republican party,
whereof we first heard through the exulting
bu' etins of certain of the cOnspirators, made
plblc through The Erening Post and The Chi
cdgo Tribune, received fresh development
through the Republican State Convention of
Missouri, held at Jefferson City last week.
Gov. McClurg is a Protectionist, open and de-
fant; so he was long since marked
out for slaughter. The Republicans Of
Missouri refuse to cOnsummate the
plot; but it can hardly have been expected
that they would. The conspirators bolt, as
had been predetermined, and nominate B.
Gratz Brown, whose votes must mainly be
cast by the old Secession Democracy. The
pretcxt of reenfranchisement is not even color
able. The Conventions platform left every
Republican free to favor OF oppose reenfran-
chlsement the conspiratOrs insist on making
those indo SO that scheme whose judgments
cordemn it. Heneeforth, they take their
place in the Democratic" ranks, and their
vote, small OF large, will be claimed as measur-
ing the Democratic strength in Missouri. We
hope to chronicle Gov. McClurg's triumphant
reelection.

TIE PROHISIONAL GOTERNMENT.


When the Emperor surrendered at Sedan
the whole world knew that the Empire was
virtually dead. The vote of the Corps LegiS-
latif which declared the d6ch6dnce was there
fore more the promulgatiOn than the decree of
a change of government. Although generally
expected, the action of the Corps Legislatif
has produced however a profound sensation.
That not single friend of the fallen dynasty
should muster courage TO make an earnest
effort in its behalf that the vote of the Cham
Der on a subject of such far-reaching conse-
quences should be unanimous that party,
numbering only about 40 among 200 members
of representative assembly chosen by gen.
eral suffrage should be intrusted with the ad-
ministratiOn that a man like ROchefOrt
should be among the members of the Pro-
visonal Government are circumstances well
calculated to astound the world.
The new Government is in almost every re-
spect repetition of the Provisional Govern
ment of 1848. Two of its eleven members,
Cremieux and GARNER Pages, were also Min
listers in 1StS, and Cremieux held then the
same portfolio (Justice) which he holds now.
A third member, Emmanuel Arago, is a son of
another member of the Government of 1S48.
Jules Favre was, in 1913, Secretary General of
the Minister of the Interior, Ledru Rollin and
has since established for himself the reputa
tion of being the greatest political orator of
France. Pelletan, who wrote the pungent
works ON the Generalization in France caused
by the Empire Picard, one of the five" who
constituted the first Republican opposition
to Napoleon, in the Corps L6gislatif; Gam
I.A4o 4h, l. A.
of the Empire, and one of the Irreconcilables ;
Ferry, the editor of the Steele; Simon, proba-
bly, the best living authority on all subjects
relating to public instruction; Glaiz- Bizon,
the terror of all the Bonapartist orators; finally,
Rochefort, the editor of the late Ldnterne, and
the most bitter in his hatred of Louis Napoleon,
have all won their political distinction since
1S48.
The BOnapartists are of course excluded
from the new Government. But it is strange
that the other parties should have no larger
share i'll its composition. The Legtimists
have no representatives at all the Oreanists
only one, Gen. Trochu. The Socialists and
Communists cannot recognize in any Of the
members of the Government and Ministry one
OF their leaders. In this respect the new Gov
ernment is even more one-sided than that of
1913, which counted among its members Louis
Blanc and Albert.
1t will be generally recognized that the new
administration embraces some of the abest
men of France. No filter man could be found
in the whole country for the Ministry of In
struction than Jules Simon, and Favre, Gre
nieux, GARNER Pages, and Picard will be regard
ed by all parties ia fully worthy of the trust
