BLOODSHED IN PARIS.

Another terrible tragedy was enacted
in Paris on Wednesday evening. A
procession of citizens bearing o banner
upon which was inscribed "Hommes
d'Ordre," was marching down the Rue
de la Paix, when the insurgent troops
stationed in the Place Vendome fired
into it, causing dreadful slaughter.
The soldiers continued firing into the
crowd as it ran. People were killed in
the streets at the distance of q mile.
The Rue de La Paix was one pool of
blood. As soon as the news of the
massacre spread through the city the ex-
element was at fever heat A procla-
nation was placarded, signed by the
Paris deputies, calling for vengeance
'for this tremendous outrage" At the
latest advices the insurgents still held
the city. No mans life is considered
SAFE The Bourse is deserted, the
citizens are gloomy. tits reported that
another generaEGeneral Raphsel--has
been assassinated General Chanzy is
still prisoner. The insurgents have
organized o government of their own.
They have minister of war and a
minister of foreign affairs, and their new
general-in-chief is one Lulier. Of
course the vagabond charlatan Cluseret,
has turned up there, and figures as a
minister. The first act Of the new gov
eminent appears to have been to relieve
the Dank of France of 100000 francs.
While the Reds hold Paris at the point
of the bayonet, another terror looms up.
It comes from the north. Bismarck
sends word to the Versailles government
that if there should be any'more proceed
ings in Paris in violation Of the prelimi-'
naries of peace, the fire. of the forts
(still In possession of the Germans) win
be opened on the city. Favre has reph-
ed that 'the instruction was surprise to
the government, but wonld be Suppress
ed" He begs the Germans not TO
lombard Paris, because the innocent
may suffer. 1t seems unaccountable, lat
this distance, that the legitimate gov
eminent does not make q resolute effort
to restore it authority. What France
seems to need most now il q man of the
stamp of the first Benaparte, who has
the nerve to take the instruction by the
throat. ~ -s,u-910pg . 40 gnt

A writer in the New Orlenns Republican
of Tuesday last, makes an unseemly and
unreasonable attack on the Superintend-
ent )of Public Education, attributing all
the failures in the carrying out of the
Common School System to this function
airy. We DO not profess to be the cham
pion of Mr.. Coaway, but We are averse
to laying on mans shoulders more of
burden than he should bear. 1t will he
remembered that the School law of 1870
was not Mr.. Conway's. The complicated
machinery which entangle4 the working.
0. that measure grew out of the amend
ments made to the Bill by the Senate at
the suggestion and under the influence
Of arguments by Senator's Campbell and
Eagan. The present measure, as amend
ed promised to redeem the system from
!..any of the embarrassments surround
ing it, and doubtless would have considera-
bly, done so, but the law makers by sub
sequent legislation limited taxation to
two per cent on property in the City,
while the School law required the City
Council to levy tax for the support of
the Public Schools. |
Parties not in sympathy with the
school system and eagerly watching every
opportunity to oppose its action imme-
diately recognized the legal ground
offered for opposition, and forthwith
exception was taken, and the City
Council declined to assess the tax. The
matter every one knows is before the
Courts. The Hon. H. G. Dibble, the
chairman of the City School Board, has
appealed to the supreme Court; and
this is the posture of affairs at present.
Under this condition of things we
cannot imagine with what justice, the
accusation against the superintendent OF
Public Education is made.

Commissioners of the San Domingo
business. In the meantime Senator
Sumner is losing no opportunity to ar
raign and condemn the entire policy Of

of resolutions, which he introduced in

alleged acts of the administration In

The Ex-Emperor, Napoleon le petit, as
Victor Hugo calls him, Is in England, the
general refugee asylum, and has had an
interview with Queen Victoria, oftn hour
length. Of course he Is denouncing every
thing and everybody engaged in endeav-
oring to establish a Republic in France,
and in this course he will naturally be
encouraged and sustained by the Mon
archial and Imperial Governments around
him.
A late dispatch makes him say: "All
my efforts shall be increasingly directed
against the rebels who have conspired
for the ruin Of France, which Is the only
hope to them of carrying out their sinis-
ter designs. These men I will force to
make amends to my poor people, which
they can only do by asking directly after
their will, and then submitting to it with
out opposition" 'la' % - .a.--i1i .'a
In the meantime, efforts at the formal
ton Of new ministry are going on in
France. Theirs has addressed the Ma
tional Assembly and pledges himself not
to betray the Republic. Whether it is
possible for the factions which now dis
tract France to quietly compromise their
grievances, appeal to the popular voice,
and abide by their decision, is a problem
which nothing but time can solve. That
there will be powerful, if not extensive,
efforts made to restore the Empire, we
have no doubt, and we believe that ere
long Napoleon will endeavor to prove that
the French are my poor people" ~

At last the lovers of law have cause to
congratulate the community on the vim
dication of justice, in the prosecution
and conviction of burglars. The verdict
of the jury, in the case of the State
against Capdeville, Berth, and others, en-
gagged in the Rochereau robbery, is re-
ceivcd with heartfelt thanks by every law
abiding, honest citizen.

FEDERAL AUTHORITY.

1t is becoming more and more apparent
that however opposed the loyal lovers OF
State Constitutional Rights, may be to
national interference in the conduct of
affairs in any of the States, circumstances
of SO grave and momentous character
are taking place in many of them, that
there is no alternative left, but to invoke
the powerful arm of national strength
and vitality for the preservation OF peace
and order, and for the security and pre-
lection of lie itself We approve OF
State Rights, but the State has no right
to neglect the establishment ola COM
petent and efectice police system, and
abandon her citizens TO the tender mer-
cies of the wicked" who saclltie life
and property, inhict injuries of every
description on her helpless citizens IN
her very face, if not with her consent.
When State through her Representa-
tiyes, SO far abandons her duty the obi
CATION cannot but be transferred to the
Federal Representative. Congress has
been slow to wake up to the recognition
of the full import of the relation of the
Federal Government to the States in an
emergency not threatening the national
life. And although the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States conferred special power to
enforce its provisions by appropriate le-
gislation, yet for nearly two years have
the States requiring, and the people be-
seeching and deserving Congressional in
reference, and the protection of the
Government, been left to endure the long
catalogue of nameless and numbeiless
wrongs at the hands OF every murder,
Gus organization springing into exist
ence, and increasing at every turn by the
forbearance, if not indifference of the
only power competent to eEectually res
train and punish. This is happily pas
sing away now. Congress IS fully aroused.
The violence, the boldness OF Ku-Klux
organizations, the fagrancy of their
crimes, and the open undisguisel insult
and hostility to the Government, have
at last reached Congressional ears, and
touched Congressional hearts, and now
they Twill up" and exercise the power
in them vested to insure peace and Sc
curity to life and property, and respect
to the national administration. The
President has assumed the exercise of
supreme power in one place, and given
the murderous organizations twenty days
to dispense and retire peaceab,y to their
homes and Congress is discussing a
stringent measure for the enforcement
of the fourteenth constitutional amend
ment. Thus may we hope that ere long,
the wicked connivance, or apathy OF
those in authority in so many of the
Southern States, will be superseded by
the honest and vigilant defenders Of the
Rights of man, which take lawful prece-
dence over any fictitious or even real
right of States. We shall hail as one Of
the most statutory of Reconstruction ad-
juncts, the passage of this measure, rem
dered necessary and preremptorily de-
mandedby the needs of the times.
