TIE SITUATYON IN FRANCE.

The coil of the Prussian army is slowly
tightening around the Touraine. A heavy
force is gradually moving down toward the
valley of the Loire, nowhere seriously resisted
by the French. The dispatches report body
of 5000 Germans at Chateau Regnault on the
2sth, not more than half-day's march north
OF the seat of Government. The vast wave is
spread all over the Departments of the Sarthe,
the Eure and Loire, and the northern half Of
the Loire and Cher They are reported as Oc-
cupying in force the towns Of Manners and St.
Cosme in the north, and extending in an al
most solid column down through MOndOubieau
st. Calais to La Chartre and Chateau Reg
nault distance Of sixty miles. At right
angles to this great line runs another
OF about equal length from Chateaudun to
Montargis, nearly due east and west, only
about twelve miles north of the city of Or
leans At the extreme left of this line the
veteran army Of Prince Frederick Charles lies
massed, in apparent inactivity, contenting
Itself with occasionally feeling the force of
Gen. Paladines, and easily repulsing all his
attacks. As We have before shown, the present
purpose OF this force is merely to detain tho

We have had no general war; the Quaker

vance southwark upon Tours. Meantime, the
forces of Manteuffel are making clean work in
the extreme north. sweeping through Picardy,
capturing Amiens and defeating the army OF
Gen. Fare in two engagements.
The garrison Of Paris, growing restive In
their enforced leisure, have been given
breathing by Trochu. They have made a
demonstration upon Bezons, village nine
miles north of Versailles, where the ROuen rail-
road crosses the Seine and an apparently
serious attack against Choisy le Ro six miles
south of Paris on the Orleans road, which
resulted in severe repulse of the French.
Alarming symptoms of ipsubordination are
visible among the officers of the Republican
army. Gen. Bourbaki hesitates to take COM
mand Of the Eighteenth Corps, and Count
KGratry has rendered his resignation in a vio-
lent and indecorous letter addressed to the
Provisional Government. K6ratry is man
of great energy and talent, and has hitherto
exhibited fortunate faculty of deserting
losing cause at the most advantageous moment.
His revolt at this time is perhaps more sig
nifcant as an omen than as an event
New-York tribune., 1870-11-30

The excuse made for the street railroad con-
ductors, that they are compelled to steal in
consequence of the insuflciency of their wages,
would justify any man who considers himself
underpaid, not only in robbing his employers,
but in robbing shopkeepers to supply himself
with the necessaries of life. No one is obliged
to be a conductor who can get better pay In
any other occupation, and the reason why the
companies offer low price is that there are
men glad to accept it. No doubt the pay is
too small and the work too hard; but it GER
tainly is not so small that the hands must
steal to keep themselves from starving, and it
is higher than the pay given for some other
kinds of labor in which nobody pretends that
dishonesty is necessary. Conductors who
"knock down. fares when they are paid
So so day, would probably knock down just
as many at 50 so.

The coolest thing we have seen lately is The
Worlds article proving, by a comparison of
the vote Of this year with the census, that
New-York City never did cast vote dispro-
portiOnate to its population. This year, for
the first time, the interference of the Federal
Government rendered heavy fraudulent vote
impossible. and the Democratic total was
thereby reduced from $4,000 Qs6s) to s6,OOO
But Of course The World never alludes to this
aspect of the case, and never has noticed the
fact, long ago established by indisputable proof,
that in the strongest Democratic districts the
vote heretofore has exceeded the total adult
male population

Mr.. William B. Allison of Iowa is a genial
gentleman and an active and able MEM
Der of the Ways and Means Committee,
but he seems too socially inclined. We can
conceive of no other explanation for his aston
ishing discovery, in his letter to the Free
Trade Dinner Party, that notifications in the
"Revenue laws which shall lessen the burdens
"now imposed in the shape of taxes, only
"small part of which reach the Treasury, the
remainder passing into the pockets of pro-
ducers," are essential to Revenue Reform.
How Does Mr.. Allison contrive to divert these
taxes into the hands of producers under the
odious laws which he wants reformedf Is
there some occult bill in the Ways and Means
Committee which accomplishes this miracle 7
Or does Mr.. Allison know just what he did

An interesting question is raised by the
presence of Mr.. Brennan's name on the min
utes of the Board of Health as a Commits
siOner. AS he is, or was, only er-o6icio a
member of that body, we are left in doubt as
to whether he so effectually resigned his place
as Police Commissioner rs to omit to draw
the salary for the months of October and No
vember. Mayor Hall can, perhaps, tell us
whether he and the Sheriff elect have been
playing ono of the peculiar tricks of their
trade to enable the latter TO evade the spirit
while pretending to obey the letter Of salu-
tary law.
