happy France to her fate. Cohld such gov
ernment be forgven3 Could the French peo-
pie accept 1t again? The whole world would
despise them and they would despise them
selves If they were to accept it. The King Of
Prussia ought to know that any government
forced upon France by the bayonets of his SOL
diers could not stand When his armies would
be withdrawn he would leave behind
legacy of revolution, and this revolution would
react with terrible power upon Germany and
shake the Prussian throne itself. The only
safety both for France and the Prussian King,
and the only chance of permanent peace, is for
the King to recognize and treat with the
French republic. He cannot overthrow the
republican sentiment of the age, and if he OBJ
stinately attempts to do so he, with other
crowned heads, may soon fall as Napoleon has
fallen.

By lucky stroke of what might be called
humanity and diplomacy combined Mr.. wash
burne, our Minister in Paris, has made himself
a great favorite, not only with the republicans

spected and honored, and in case OF war, as
at present, one whose persan is held sacred BY
both bellirerents. But we see by our de-
spatches that Mr.. Washburne ia'departing from
his strict diplomatic duties. In conversation
with Jules Favre he lis repnrted to have said
that he disapproved of the coldness Of the
American government in,refusing to stop the
"vandals;" and though he could render no
assistance except by order of his government
he would record his pratest against thia
''impious" war. This is very much out of
place. Mr.. Washburne is not to represent his
own but his governments views of the situa-
tion, and, while he expresses all the sympathy

American Politics.

The effect of the war in Europe is felt all
to paralyze the politicians. They have an
distracted Indifferent attention even for their
generally absorbing vocation of helping them
selves to faoplaces and lining their pockets,
and they cannot rally the people, because the
people also are Indifferent. In Maine, which
thousand, that majority falls off this year to
something like five thousand; and though the
democrats claim gains, the result may be more
safely set down to popular Indifference and the
failure of the full vote. Indeed, there ara
no issues worth popular thought. What
is the democratic policy just, now2
Who knows? What is the demo-
cratic purpose, platform, plan? What
idea now above the political horizon can be
classed as especially democratic, and what men
of known force or commanding intellect are
classed as democrats? The fact that there can
be no definite satisfactory answers given to
such questions as these points the moral of
defunct party. All this, of course, relates to
the democracy outside this city. Here we
know exactly what democracy means. II
means the control of the city treasury. Our
city democrats will continue to give us brilliant
reforms; just such as that Of our Board Of
Aldermen, which, with single exception, is
made up of the old Aldermen, who are rather
worse than before in their plunderings because
they feel that as reformers they must be
heard from. In the city the democrats will
rule of course, and will continue to- lay heavy
taxes and to enforce the law in their own
peculiar and inimitable way; but this city
democracy is something that has no relation
to politics outside the city, save in the weight
of its vote, and would go on the same If all the
democrats of other parts were turned into
mummy. OF the democracy as q national
party there is no sign, and, strange to say,
there is very little sign also of the republicans.
All the platforms humble still of the great
record of the war, and simply provoke the
observation that the party that knows only
the past belongs to the past. In fact, our
whole political horoscope comes down to the
policy and the person of Grant; peace and
economy in government and the man identified
with these; this is the frame of the popular
mind.

Italian Opera in Paris.

From O communication which appears in
another column we learn that before the fatal
declaration of war which has entailed such
misery on France arrangements had been made
for one of the most brilliant seasons of Italian
opera ever known in Paris. NJ Bagier, the
well known director of the Theatre Italien
and the Minister of Fine Arts, to whom was
entrusted by the imperial government the care
of the lyric drama, selected, with view
towards making the season a complete success,
Signor E. Muzio as musical director and chef
du chant A higher compliment could not be
offered to musician in Europe. The name
of Muzio is familiar to American opera goers
from the signal abilities displayed by him in the
direction of the Grau italian Opera Company
q few years since. After the destruction of
the old Academy of Music by fire and the
practical abandonment of Italian opera in this
city Signor Muzio went to Europe with his
accomplished wife, nee Miss Lucy Simmons,
and fulfilled many important engagements in
the leading opera houses on the Continent.
He welded the baton at the Madrid Opera
House for long time with signal success.
His abilities everywhere received the hearty
endorsement of the public and the dilettaaats,
and the last great honor conferred on him
was fitting tribute to his artistic talent and
experience. The company engaged at Les
Italiens for the season of 1S70-71 and placed
under the direction of Signor Muzio consisted
of the following renowned artists Prime
A eli Dat o1k
Ida Benza, Maria Palmieri, Talman, Angli,
Sanz and Cart; tenori, Signori Fraschini,
Carpi, Bignardi, Genovesi, Cantoni and An
giolini; baritone e bassi, Signori Mendiorez,
Parboni, Cont, Milleri, Vecchi, Sampieri and
Marcassa buff, Signori Borello, Rocco and
Mercuriali; accompagnatore, Signor Zavaglio !;
maestro di coro, Signor Corsi; regisseur, Sig
nor Amati Dubreuil. Verdi, the illustrious
composer, was also engaged to direct the pro-
duction of his two great operas, la Forza
del Destino" and "Aida." With such an as
semblage of talent there can be but one opinion
about the result Of a season given by Signor
Muzio, and that is an unqualified triumph.
The sad events now transpiring in France
have, of course, postponed the opening of the
season indefinitely, and we would suggest to
Signor MuZio the idea of bringing over his
splendid company to the metropolis of America,
where he has host of friends and admirers, and
where the public mind is now ripe for the ap-
probation and support ofreal talent. Itwould
be worthy revival of Italian opera, which has
so long suffered from mediocrity on the stage
and incompetency in the managerial sanctum.
We assure him solid, lasting success, and a
liberal response from the public. The expert
ment is worth trial.
The New York herald., 1870-09-17
France-The Republic, the Bonapartes and
the BourbOns.

the Bourbons.
The situation in Paris is such that one
might with equal confidence speak of COM
empire, or of the restoration of the Bourbons.
Nobody can say that any one of these is
impossible. But which is most probable is
puzzle.
There are many who think that the repub-
lie, which is for the present nominally in favor
in France, Is to be firmly established, and
that no other form of government will hence
forth be tolerated in that country. There are
others who do not begin to see that republic
has the slightest chance of permanent success.
The republic, such persons say, has revealed
in spasmodic style some signs of life; but
they are careful to warn us that neither Bona
partists nor Orleansts have given the So
called republic as yet much encouragement.
There are many who say that the empire is
not yet dead. King William, according to such
reasoners, is master of the situation, and he will
not have republic. He refuses to know the
existence Of such thing. The only govern
ment he knows is the government which made
war upon him. With that government, and
with no other, If report speak truth, he is
willing to treat. This makes the re-establish-
ment Of the Bonapartes, in the estimation Of
many, necessity. Others again tell us that
the republic has failed to command respect;
that France is not ready for it; that the
empire is clearly played out; that the Bona
wkn fho oh do If cho
and that all the men who now command
respect are Orleanists to the backbone. In
other words, this last class goes in for the
restoration of the House Of Orleans. The
republic, the Bonapartes, the Bourbons-these
exhaust the possibilities of the immediate
future Of the French nation.
Howl is it to be What are the chances9 We
ara sorry to have to say it, but we cannot look at
facts and say anything elsa French republic
does not now seem to have great chance Of
but the time is not yet. The men who are in
power--Trochu, for example-are not republi-
cans. We cannot say that they are not Bona
partists; but we can and do say that Bona
partisan is dead for at least another quarter of
a century. A change is necessary. If France
will not have the Bonapartes, if she cannot
yet have the republic, the only possible
arrangement is the restoration of the race of
citizen kings. So far as we can see the
House Of Orleans is the only possible COM
promise in the circumstances. M. Theirs
mission will begin to have meaning when the
Prussians have invested Paris and when King
William has offered terms and demanded
surrender. General Trochu may be called
the Saviour of his Country, even if he should
use his immense power to bring back to his
ancestral halls the heir of the House of
Orleans, and, indeed, of all the Bourbons. We
do not speak with confidence. We only fore
cast the possibilities; the war as yet is still a
bigger question than the final settlement.
