THE daily reports by cable telegrams of
dreadful scenes in Paris and of French oonfu-
sion, frightful as they are, seem tame when
compared with the detailed descriptions fur
nished by mail correspondents. The once gay
capital seems to be under the control of men
whose highest ambition is to re-enaot the
worst horrors of the first Revolution. Order,
law, common sense, aud religion are sub
verted by new Reign of Terror. The most ter
rible crimes are again perpetrated in the name
of liberty, and the professed champions of
freedom are guilty of the most dreadful and
varied acts of tyranny. A body of lunatics
suddenly turned loose could not act more
desperately and illogically, and the only con-
soling feature of the rule of the Commune
must be sought in the fact that its ineffi-
cheney, recklessness, stupidity, and crimi-
nslity must necessarily lead to it's destruction.
The amazing part of the situation is the
continued inability of France and the better
part of Paris to educe order,out of this chaos
Can it be that the gay city of criminal indul-
gence has not yet sufficiently expiated her past
offenses, and that long list of miseries are
yet reserved for her? Must prolonged
siege, famine, pestileuce, and fratricidal war
be followed by absolute destruction?
