Coon News FROM FRANCE.- Although we
have little room for editorial this week, we
must announce that the French have taken
Paris; or, in other words, the Legitimate troops
of Franes-the Eersaillists-hav defeated the
rebel Communists and entered Paris. There
fore the civil war is at an end, and NJ. Theirs
is President of Paris as we'll as the rest of
France The effort of few influential disor-
ganizers to establish communal government
has failed and after reign of terror since
early in March-after they had imprisoned the
Archbishop, priests and nuns; confscated
property, drove 100000 citizens out of the
city and destroyed the splendid column in the
Place Vendome-they are at last subdued. 1t
is now hoped that peace and good republi-
can government will be maintained.

The Montgomery county (Ohio) Democratic
Convention met last week, and Vallandigham,
from the Committee on resolutions, reported a
new Democratic platform, intended for the
groundwork of national platform" 1t ac-
cepts the results of the war and the constitu-
tiona amendments adopted in consequence
thereof, pledging the Democratic party to
their faithful enforcement
This announcement has caused a furry
among the hide-bound members of the party,
whose stock in trade has been the denunciatlon
of these very measures, which they have de-
clared unconstitutional, null and void" over
and over again. And that such surrender to
the Republicans should be made by such man
as Vallandigham surprises them quite as much
as does the announcement that the Conven-
tion endorsed the platform, as well as the con-
vention of Hamilton county and several other
county conventions in the State. And not only
this. but Democratic politicians and news
papers all over the North are endorsing it.
Can the Democrats Of Delaware swallow it or
will they still kick against the bricks? Will
they surrender to the g Radicals " or create
division in their ranks as is threatened in other
quarters?
