From the Free Press & Times,l
Can France Maintain "a Republic

| We are glad to be able to give TO our
readers the opinion-o on this point, of dis
! tinguished citizen of Vermont, who has
resided for several years in Frrnce, leav-
| ing that country just before the recent
| declaration of war one, too, who to the
advantages of an important official pos
ition added the powers of clear thinker,
and sound and able Judge of men and
measures. He told US in recent CONVEX
sation that while his sy.npathies were
with the Prussians till the surrender Of
Louis Napoleon and the proclamation
of the French Republic, they were
now wholly and heartily given to
France; that in his opinion France was
ready for republic and able, if unmolest-
ed, to maintain one; that in spite of the
oorrupting influences of the Napoleonic
dynasty, which be had seen very strongly
illustrated, he believed there were enough
of intelligent and patriotic citizens to lead
and control the ignorant masses, in the
establishment of permanent republican
government. He avowed his very high
opinion of most of the members of the
new provisional government. With the
exception of Rochefort, IN whom he had
little confidence, but who he thought
was behaving exceedingly well, when
placed under the burden of actual RESPONSE
bility, they are in his opinion equal to
the posts they have undertaken to fill, and
represent fairly the intelligence, patriot
ism, and integrity of the best portion OF
the French people; and he believed that
they could and would sustain themselves
before their countrymen and before the
world, If allowed fair chance.
We were glad to hear this, for we had
feared it was otherwise-that with a
clergy hating republican institutions,
with an ignorant and excitable peasantry,
and with a horde of minions OF the Ma
poleonic dynasty and members of legiti-
mists, opposed to a democratic govern
ment, there was little hope for perman-
ent French republic in any case.
But, added our informant sadly, "they
will never be allowed to establish the Re
public. All the other governments of El-
rope will oppose it" Prussia, England,
Austria r ussia, all will agree that it is
not for their interest to see a Republic in
France. There is little hope that France
can long maintain the war; and at its
close the monarchies around her will
crush the new government, and permit no
government of the people.
Such, in substance, is the belief of one
VIII ose name, if we were at liberty to give
it, would add weight to his opinion and
it gives no cheerful look to the prospect
in France.

The official crop report for August
shows that corn has been somewhat in
iured in some localities by the drought
and other causes, but not sufficiently to
threaten a material reduction from for
mer anticipation. Cotton has been dam
aged by rust, worms, etc, bat there is no
indication of a decreased yield. The
wheat crop is generally excellent, in many
cases compensation for the deficiency in
quantity. Rye, oats and barley are gen
orally harvested in good condition, though
there is no diminution in quantity. Rye,
barley and buckwheat are from to 20
per cent, below the average.
Potatoes are injured materially by in
sects The hay crop in most states is
above the average. The sorghum at the
West is in fair condition. Sugar in
Louisiana and Florida is ten per cent
above, and in other states 10 per cent be-
low the average. California is the only
State which reports an increase in the
prod uction of hops. Tobacco is to II
per cent below the average, except in
Missouri, Illinois and Michigan. Apples
promise 40 to 90 of the average crop.
Hogs show some depreciation in size and

duty upon the field. Another sketch
shows the steamers laid up at Bremen, and
a fine, large engraving represents peasant

battle. A full-page picture gives the
scene after the surrender, with the mas.
ses of French prisoners under Prussian
guard and another of the same size,
drawn by Paul Frenzeny, and called The
