the various shades of French politics be-
tween them. The style Of speaking is
the direct opposite of the English. lively,
rapid, abounding in sallies, full of ges-
lures, sometimes verging Oh the tragic,
and interrupted by the most animated ex-
expressions of appreciation or dissent.
The House itself is in the most perfect
hubbub imaginable. Unlike the English,
they are too polite to cover their heads,
and too sensitive to cover their feelings.
Tres ben Tres bien." from the solid
ranks of the right: shouts and even cries
of remonstrance from the left; hundred
arms flying in mad curves; twenty-five
Frenchmen chattering at each other across
the benches with magpie volubility. are
only few of the elements of the Babel.
The Left tries to make up for members by
noise; self control and outraged patriot
ism fight dreadful fights on the face of
Rochfort and his compeers; the twenty
five sputter worse than ever; the proper
speaker fumes in the tribune; the presi-
dent clangs his bell despairingly, and six
sergeant-at-arms with cooked hats and long
swords. seizing on the critical moments

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Governor Hoffman of New York made
his bid as a candidate for the Presidency
in his recent message to the Legislature.
We don't see what more he could have
done to put himself in the line OF promotion
unless like Governor Seymour he had
written letter positively declining to be
a candidate. We have now three candi-
dates for the democratic nomination for
the Presidency in 1872; Pendleton on the
0reenback platform. Chase ON the ANAL
gamaton platform, and Hoffman on a
half-and-half platform. If the two former
are not wide-awalie this oily son of a Knick-
erbocker viii slip in ahead Of them and
floor them both 1t was hardly fair to
steal march upon them by taking the OPP
portunity his annual address afforded to
make a bid, but Hoffman is evidently one
who looks after the main chance.
The action of the democrats in the Leg
islature of New York, in moving at once
TO rescind the former action of that body
in ratifying the Fifteenth Amendment, is
a warning to republicans against trusting
them that 0ught to be needed. They
would defeat this amendment in every
State if they could, and remit the negro
to slavery. They would talk negro suf-
frage to carry an election as readily a@
they would escort Sambo to the polls to
oct his vote. but let them succeed in elect
ing their men and they would pronounce
the negro baboon and shackle him. To
deceive and draw into their net easily
caught republicans they would advocate
honest payment OF the debt, but once in
power the bondholders might whistle for
their pay if they had no reliance but dem-
ocratic faith. Acts like this movement in
the New York Legislature are excellent
eye-openers to repu blicans, which may save
them many a disaster. The plausible idea
that there i, no need of party now yanishes
ont Of sight before such portentous demon
strations rs this against the main article in
the republican creed. We recognise in
these fellows that same old COON that
He have tr3ed 50 often. Last year We
found them very strong temperance men
in some States, third party men, greatly
in favor Of citizens tickets ard voting for
the hrst men without regard to party: the
moment they get the majority in a Legi--
la,uIe down 20 The temperance laws and
up goe> the banner of repuliation and
degradation 10 the blacks.

Mr.. BRADFORD Of Passport. inquired if an
invitation had been extended By the city of
Portland or proper authorities.
Mr.. TwucHELL, az a representative Of
Portland, considered it proper for him to ex-
plain. The Legislature had received no inyi-
tation from the city OF Portland, and he
thought ii would hardly seem proper for us to
accept an invitation to be present on that oc-
casion, Tor the Governor himself had ordered
suitable recognition OF the event Ii the Leg
isiatuIe expected an invitation from Portland
he hardly thought il would receive one; he
had no authority however for SAYING that the
city OF Portland would not extend an lnyita-
tion.
