RED REPUBLICANISM IN PARIS.
PARIS, Sept. 22-It is impossible to separate
now the political from the military question
for, understanding one, you must understand
the other. There are two different powers in
PaIis-ons Official, the provisional government,
which satisfies nobody, but is accepted and tole-
rated by everybody the second one is the Cen
ral Republican Committee, composed of four
delegates from each arrondisse ment, or eighty
from twenty-five delegates elected by the PEOPLE
In every arrondissement. Thee are in con-
slant communication with the population during
the day through the twenty-one delegates re-
naming in the ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and at night
py public meeting. special committee of
nve remain in permanency day and night.
AT the sitting of the Assembly these
eighty delegates constitute the commune
OF Paris. The International Association of
Workingmen has been the cradle of that pow
erfui organization, which is Objectionable to
the oourgeoise and source of fear to the gov
eTrment but has the deepest root in the hearts
o. the people. They sent yesterday a message
10 the government, asking for immediate meas
ures: LIST. To transfer the police from the CEN
trail government to the municipalities the elec-
tlon OF nagistracy, and the abrogation of every
law or decree interfering with the freedom OF
speech, press, meeting or association. I'd. The
appropriation OF the necessaries of life where
ever TO be found, and their distribution among
the families of the National Guards and those in
@ need proportionally to the amount of provisions,
the probable duration of the siege and the mum
Der OF persons to be fed. 81. The immedt-
ate APPROPRIATION OF all empty apartments
or public bindings for the accumulation
OF me defenders of the city. 4th. A lew
en- masse Of all Frenchmen without excet1-
ton. 9th. The immediate dispatch of gem
eral commissioners to departments to raise the
population and send them to the defence of
Paris. The government refused yesterday to
yield to these demands. To-day a delegation OF
lD members, comprising the members of the
central committee and two special delegates
from each reimbursement, will again present
them, and il the government persists in ITS re .
fusal, the people themselves will come en- masse
tonight. At Lyons. the workmen have consti-
tuted an Independent government for the de
fence OF France. The iirst success of the Pms
SLAMS will overthrow the provisional as Sedan
overthrew the imperial government, then the
people VIII certainly take better care OF them
selves than their traditional masters have done

on condition OF retaining possession OF the dis
tricts now occupied until the terms are raiitied

mission.

nG nitloG OF the provisional government is not be
