,-Pensacola, Florida, has been sold out, and
the ,joke is that she has bid herself In. The
carpet-bsggers. and scalawags who run the
city government had levied Illegal taxes that
the city would not pay, and the property was
put,up for sale for. taxes. Nobody would bid,
and the city bought in the property. The next
move, we suppose, will be to expel the citizens
from the property, and we shall then see city
without inhabitants, and owned by corpora
tlon that has no constituents.

"A serious error, it is stated, has been
made in quoting, from the proclamation
made by King William, OF Prussia, on the en-.
trance Of the German armies into France. The
King did not proclaim that he Harred only
against Napoleon, not against the French peo-
lIe;he only said that he would combat the
soldiers, not the peaceful citizens. The proc
lamation was purely military document, with
no political bearing, and warning the citizens
TO behave peaceablyand not to attempt war
like demonstrations IL they wished to be pro.
tected. Although the King of Prussia said
''we war against soldiers, not citizens. ~ vet =
fex days afterward the Crown Prince issued q
proclamation stating 'Prussia makes w.r
against the Emperor, and not against France y
As the Crown Prince is person Of considera.
be importancein Prussian affairs, his procla.
nation may perhaps be taken as indicating the
policy to be pursued as regards France.
