The Fourteen sieges of Paris.

A French correspondent writes from Rouen, whither he has been forced to go from Paris The French capital is standing it's fourteenth siege, according to a paper published in the yol1alaiYe, under the title "Ftsctuat nee Ae1- gitsrr The first of these on record was in the year 5 E. C.. when Lutetia, then confined to sn island in the Seine, was attacked by the Roman consul Labienus. and the inhabitants, absn- doning the defence of tho town, burned their houses and retired to the neighboring hills, where they were finally yanquished by the superior tactics of the legions
 In A. n. 463, Childerie l., son of Meroyeno, drove out the Romans, after an obstinate siege.
 in s45 the city was taken and pi'laged by the Normans, enticcd thither by the riches Of the capital.
 In S56 they again attacked Paris, which was burned by it's inhabitants Five years later there was another incursion by the freebooters, who, however, found noth- ing worth taking.
 After this the parisians decided upon forti- | lying their town but before the walls were | completed thirty thousand Normans encamped before them. The citizens, however, defended | themselves manfully for more than year, and the invaders were about to raise the siege when Charles the First hoisted white flag and cApitulated, signing disgraccfir peace which cost him his throae. l In 1858 the Dauphin laid siege to the town, but was unsuccessful as was the King of | England in 1859.
 ! In l42O the English took Paris by assault, ard held it for lo years. During this time 1t was attacked, in li27, by Charles VII, who
 was repulsed by the garrison. 1 In l4G2 the Duke of Burgundy rayagcd
 the country up to the very walls.
 In l4G4 the Count of Charalois inyesaed the city and was defeated in several assaults Alike unsuccessful was the army cf Charles ", in l536
 Under Henry III. and Henry W. the city
 sustained an ever memorable siege, capituia-
 ting, however, to the Soldier of Navarro, after 1 he had abjurvd Protes,antism. Lastly, in 1874, 1t was given up, after brief but gallant
 defence, to the allies. Then, as in every pre- ceding instance. treason had much to do with
 the surrender of the capital; and this treason
 seems to have been confined to the middle
 and upper classes, who contended with each
 other for the honor of paying court to the
 conquerors. The papers of 1914 tell of the
 gallantry of the workmen and students at the
 Barriere de Clnch, and of their sad silence as
 the foreigners marched in triumph through
 the streets, but they also tell how ribbons
 and flowers were showerei down upon them
 in the wealthy quarters of the town, and how
 the women ran forward to kiss the Hussars
 and Cossacks.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
CongrstalatoEy Address to the Democracy
 of the Country.

Tine following congratulatory address was issned lately by the Chairman of the Nation al Democratic Congressional Resident Com mittee
 "The National Democratic Congressional Resident Committee tender their eongratula- tions to the Democratic and Conservative voters of the three great States of Pennsyl- yania, Indiana and Ohio, for their recent sue cesses over the exemptions of Radicalism, aided as the Radicals have been by profi gate and desperate administration at Wash ington. In Pennsylvania a gain of five mem bers of Congress has been secured, the Rad ical majority of last year has been largely reduced, in each branch of the Legislature, and there is decided majority in the State on the popular vote against the administra- tlon. In Indiana, the State has been redeemed from further Radi sal misrule by the election Of the Democratic and Conservative State ticket, carrying with it gain of two mem bers of Congress and a majority in each branch Of the Legislature. Economy and reform are thus made sure to the people of that State in the immediate future. Tn Ohio the Radical majority of two years ago has been reduced more than one-half and the leader of the Radical corruptiouists in the present Congress been defeated. We now appeal to the Democratic and Conservative voters of the States in which elections are about to be held to make further and more determined efforts in behalf of the restoration of an honest administration We ask that they disregard threats from any central source, and pay no attention, in any respect, to the proposed use of military power of the gov ernment in the local management Of elections in the States. Let the doors of our organiza- ton be thrown wide open for the admission Of all who desire economy and honesty in the management of the public treasury, so that the present burden of taxation may be there by mitigated, regardless of former issues or past political association or name, and bring about entire cooperation among all who seek a restoration of the Union founded upon peace and goodwill among their fellow w-men, and a return to strict iii...ssssrity among the public officers of the nation.

WHAT is THE STATUS OF THE

Mr.. Editor: ~ o fs''fsN gea a]
This is question wltichis very frequently
rropounded now adavs in all parts Of the State
In reply to this we.have but n sipgle word to
say and that is. there is between the Liberal
Republicans and the so called Democrats no
difference, except in name, which is a distinct.
ion withOuta real difference. For as far as,G
can,understand the Democracy they are In ia
vor of all the principles advocated by The Lib.
eral Republicans, which are these: The re-
peal OF all the test oathsin the State, modt.
fled registration law. and the repeal of TIE
constitutional amendment, and the eniranch'
isement Of every citizen Of the State. This ne
cessarily leads 10 the doctrine 10 national poll.
tics Of universal amnesty-pRrdOn and a full
restoration Of every citizento all his rights un.
derthe Constitution ThenI ask, what is tho
difference between the Democrats and the Lib.
eral Republicans Of West VirgtniaH Then,
cannott these two parties who now look through
the same political spectacles agree to form a
great and common party that shall rnle' aud
govern tho destinies Of this State. Then |
propose that the party shall he called the Lib.
eral patty and for the sake ofharmony Iwould
throw away the names Of Democra: and Re.
publican, and adopt as tho name tho Libnral
party. What say Won all?
