B@ The French chamber of deputies consists of 290 members, arranged in the order of numerical strength, as follows: Right. embracing 134 deputies; center right and center left 116; left 40 The right includes all those who support the govern msnt internationally. The center right and center left are those who uphold the reigning dynasty upon condition of ibe- ral reforms. and prefer free empire to the hazard of revolution. They are led by M. Olivier, and represent the union of liberty with order. The left consists main ly of the impracticables; men of tic rule or ruin type; red republicans; furious de- chalmers; fellows whose principal forte is to smash things."
 We give the foregoing classification, as showing the strength of tho respective parties in the Corps Legislatv. The de- scription of the ' left'Si is atrociously un. fair. That party contains some, it is true, of the Rochefort stamp, but in it are also found the ablest and most patriotic men in the Assembly. They believe that liberty and imperialism are incompatible, and the result will prove that they are right.

.epeA The women of Utah have held a mass meeting to protest against the pro. posed law of Congress against polygamy, The chief argument we see urged against woman's suffrage is that the majority of women do not want to vote.. If that is a sound rule of action we must submit the question of polygamy to vote of the wo- men of Utah, and abide their decision 9 We know very well what it would be.

Retronchment.

Tie speech of Mr. Dawes, of Massaehu- setts, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations is one of the best signs of the Wmes. It shows the determination of leading Republicans that our Admins. tration shall be not only honest but eco- nomical. Many were surprised at the in- creased estimates sent in this year by the Departments, and Mir. Dawes evidently means that no appropriations shall pass the House on those estimates unless he is fully assured of their necessity.
 The matter before the House was the League Island Navy Yard bill, and MT. Dawes showed, what our former Connect. 7 cut representative. MT. Brandagee. so con- eiusively proved, that the whole project was stupsndous blunder-that the mere filling of earth necessary before building can be erected will cost over two millions of dollars. Hefurther remarked that Ad- niral Porter had recently stated before the House Committee on Navigation that the Government had spent nearly $500. .OOO, 900 for navy during the war and that nothing was left to show for it. MT. Dawes also showed that Secretary of the Navy was de- uanding an expenditure of $3. 600, 900, this yea, against $451, 900, last, at the principal ports. He ridiculed the proposed saving by the Secretary of the Navy of two mill lions on coal, and by the Postmaster Gen. eral of five millions on the abolition of the franking privilege. He showed that the estimates of this year were eight millions more than the amount asked by Johnson s Administration. last year, and fifty mil lions more than the amount then appropri- ated. He asked whether the House was willing to begin new public works on an estimated expense of $24. .0O0. .OO0? A
 Mir. Dawes has had to suffer many bitter personal attacks, especially from Pennsyl- vania representatives with whom League Island is pet project, but his figures re- main as yet unanswered. While it is very probable he has made some mistakes, we believe that the gentleman is on the right track. Each Department naturally over- estimates it's own wants. and needs the sharp supervision of Congress. As was admirably argued in the January Atlantic. large income almost irresistibly provokes large expenditure. What we need is a reduction of tariff and internal reveuue duties, an avoidance of all unnecessary ex- penditure, and a careful economy.
 Just as we rejoice to see Congress watching sharply every want of economy on the part of the Administration. we hope the president will be encouraged to return the compliment by prompt veto of every extravagant bill that finds it's way through the Houses. Let each branch of the Government be the check on the other the Constitution intends it to bel
 n@. The Danbury Times asserts that there are but three people in the town of Washington, Conn.,, who are opposed to woman's suffrage. We had supposed that there were more; still, the number is dwin- ding. and appearances indicate that even if the Times estimate is not correct now, is will soon become so.
