A meeting was held at Montgomery,
Alabama, on the Goth ult., at which in
dirnation was expressed at the co.. se Of
w II. Smith and Arthur Bingham, in
refusing to vacate the Offices of governor
and treasurer, was largely attended. All
the speeches were made by Republicans.
Resolutions we're adopted expressing the
Indignation and dsapprobation of the
people at the course taken by Smith and
Bingham. The better class of Republi-
cans are becoming disguised at the high.
handed manner in which some of their
leaders. have been conducting matters.
We are glad to see reason returning.

The last session Of the Forty first
Congress opened last Monday in the
presence of a large and somewhat br.l-
liant attendance of spectators, with more
than quorum in each house. The au.
gust body was at once organized, and
the President was accordingly notified
Of the fact. The people may now look
for political trickery, and an attempt tc
prevent the Forty second Congress con
vcnng next March. We will not b'
surprised at anything, but hope fo
the best.

IIaileck's opinion Of The Military.

Gen. llalieck, commander Of the mill
tary division of the South, has submitted
his annual report, aud in it advances
some very sensible IDEAS to come from a
military mau. He says, "but few in
stance. have occurred where military IN
reference in civil matters has been 70.
quircd, except to assist revenue officers
| ~ the performance Of their duties" In
the present practice the revenue officer
is the sole judge tf his need Of military
assistance aud the General recommends
that ic1uisiIions he required to be accom-
panied by aiGdavits to prove that the case
C ,mcs within the law, authorizing mil
tary interference. This and other re
strictions pointed out on the use Of mil
ita,y force ia civil matters would 10 the
opinion Of the General effect saving ia
the military expenditure. also relieve
army officers from much Of the RESPONSE
billy which they are now obliged to incur
in the performance Of disagreeable duties
which can hardly be said to icyitimatey
belong TO the military scrrice!S On this
subject the report proceeds: >
Where United States marshals aUd as.
sistant marshals cali for military aid to
execute the process of the courts, there
should be an order Of the court authoriz
ing such requisitions On the ground that
no proper civil posse com'tatus could be
obtained. Il, may be proper to remark in
this place that have been assured by
federal civil officers that the use Of troops
in executing judicial process and enforc
ing the revenue and other civil laws seem
to increase rather than diminish the
apartment necessity of resortng to
such force in civil matters. The ill.dis-
posed become more and more exasperated
ut being coercod by force which they
:hihk has been uDconstitutionally en-.
ployed against them, and the better dis
posed relax theig efforts to punish local
crime, on the plea that this duty now
devolvcs on the military. Hence in the
case of robbery or a murder thero is
call for federal troops to arrest ard
guard the criminals. 1t is therefore a
question well worthy of consideration
whether the military in civil matters
should not be limited TO few well de
fined cases, such as riots and insurrec
lions which cannot be suppressed by local
and state authorities. Although no very
important military operations have been
carried on in the division during the past
year, the industry and capacity of the
department commanders have been SC,
verely taxed in executing the laws of
congress, and in settling apparent con,
tlicts of authority between the military
and civil officers. 1t is very creditable
to them to be able to say that they have
performed these embarrassing duties in
such manner as to receive the approval
of their suporlors, and to give general
satisfaction to the people Of the states in
their respective commands.

Considerable excitement was created
lat Thursday by the report that Paris
had surrendered but the dispatchs
Of the day following put. an entirely
new face on the matter. On the 3Otb
ult.. the French troops defending Parls,
mtde sortes at several points upon the
bcseisers, aud according to German
reports were repused and driven behind
their works, Cu the east and southeast
of Paris the French succeeded in taking
the positions attacked by them which
were subsequently, retaken blythe Prus-
SLAMS. Over 1000 French prisoners were
taken, and several hundred dead aud
wounded left on the field. The German
loss is reported trihing. The French
have asked for q truce Of several hours
to bury their dead.
French reports also claim French vic
cries. The sor,ie was commanded by
Trochu, Ducrot, and Vinoy. Paris Is
tower joyed with dispatches announcing

Der Of cannon and prisoners had been
captured Gambcttu announces that zone
of the results Of these sortlcs has been
the evacuation Of Amiens by the Prus-
slams, who hastily started for Paris to re
nrorce the German army. The battle
ut Paris began on Tuesday the 2S,h, and
at last accounts, the garrison remained
outside in positions they had captured
from the Prussians' The Moni'eur say
the battle lasted until the night Of th'
3Oth, fighting all night the 29'h.
In such fight as this appears from al
accounts to have been, the losses on boil
sides wust have -een appalling, and th'
German report that their loss was "tri-
fling" caunot well be relied upon
Though both the French and Prussian
claim victory it is evident from th'
reports that little or no advantage ha'
been gained by either side. The Frenct
continue to defend their capital, and th'
Prussians to bescige it. With the nd
yantages the Prussians have along held
there is no hope of France ever atta'nlnS
her former power. Her sun OF glory has
set.
Later dispatches say that Gen. Pa'ad
iues won victory near Orleans, al
claimed by the french, but that th'
Germans certainly repulsed the attacl
before Paris The French, however
consider that they won partial 'riump|
because they took 100 prisoners and oc
cupied positions far in advance Of thei
former liuc Of oLtpo-ts.
