The people Of Paris are generally dissatisfied
with the government, which has failed to adopt
revolutionary measures. A manifesto, voted
by the twenty ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Paris, has
been presented to-day to the provisional gov
ernment, and will be posted On the walls of
Paris. The manifesto requires the Immediate
fnvoi Of general commissioners IN the provin-
ces General Cluseret is designated by the
people Of Paris at the request of the people of
Lyons. Il is doubtful if the government will
yield under this double pressure.
The red republicans continue to placard the
walls in the city with handbis announcing a
new government. Trouble is apprehended.-
The citizens declare that they prefer Prussian
rule to communism
The Opinion Rationale acknowledges the re-
ceipt of 20,000f from A. I. Stewart. of New

IHE COLORED PEOPLE AND THE j URY LAW.
"A committee of colored men, appointed by
the Republican, ward clubs of this city, waited
upon Governor Walker yesterday to make
known their supposed grievances in being de-
barred from the right of serving onjuries.
John Oliver. chairman of the committee,
laid before the Governor, In full, the grievance
OF which they complained, calling his attention
to the fact that they had in some places been
permitted to exercise the right secured them
by the Constitution in regard to jury service,
and advanced their idea that what was law in
one place should be so in another
In reply to the question of the chairman as
to what they should do under the crcumstan-
ces the Governor. who had received the dele
cation very cordially, said that they must wait
till the meeting of the General Assembly and
memorabilia that body on the subject; that ac-
cording to his conception there was at present
no State law existing authorizing colored man
to sit on jury. The new Constitution gave
them the right, it was true, along with their
white fellow citizens, but the Constitution also
said that all laws in force at its adoption should
stand repealed. Owing to want of time the
General Assembly had not confirmed to the
coored man the right in the above matter Sc
cnred to him by the Constitution
The Governor was of opinion that the Gener-
al Assembly would, on being appealed to, con-
firm to the colored man any right secured to
him by that instrument, the right to sit on a
jury included. Where the colored man had
been summoned in some localities as jury
man, it was owing to personal preference of the
sheriff or other officer engaged in getting up
| the venIre. The matter, under the present
state of affairs, could not be expected to be
general, and would not be so until the passage,
| by the General Assembly, Of law to give eff
feet to that provision Of the Constitution.
| The Committee then retired Rich Dis
