The French Assembly havo evidently come
together with more determination than ever
before to press their individual opinions
Under the pressure of the German occupation
these Legislators were less demonstrative and
unruly but the opening of the new session
has been characterized by scenes Of turbu-
lence which remind one of the earlier
days Of the old Republic. The Assembly
refused to consider as urgent" several i'm
portant questions, as the removal of the capital
to Paris and the future form of government.
To complicate matters, tho proposition to
restore to the Orleans Princes their cOnfscated
estates was sprung upon the Assembly; and
one delegate wanted to have the Committee
on Pardons censured for it's want of clemency
to the Communists. Taken altogether, the
discordant elements are numerous, and likely
to be more iryeconclable hereafter. Tho weak,
unequal policy of M. Theirs has encouraged
this state of things and the exciting scenes in
the Assembly do not presage quiet Winter
for the President.

The Republicans of Georgia have decided to
waive their objections to the proposed election
for Governor, TO fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Gov. Bullock, and have nomi-
mated Mr. Atkins of Atlanta, a native of the
State, Union man throughout the war,
and Republican from its close. 1t is
not necessary that the question, whether the
holding of the proposed election be constitu-
tional or not, should enter into the cOnsidcra-
ton of the present duty of Georgia Republi-
cans. If the Legislature should assist in
making up a case for the Courts, and the
Courts should hold the election uncon-
stitutiOnal, tho votes cast arc merely
nugatoIy. If the Courts should hold other
wise, our friends will at least have gained the
moral advantage of keeping their organization
in active working operation, if not, also, of
clccting their candidate. They have chosen
this time to present no carpet-bagger, but q
man whom Georgians have knVwn from boy
hood and can trust. We hope they may give
him full vote.

A NAPOLEONIO EPISODE.

Said Mr.. Bob Sawyer of his intimate friend,
Jack HOpkins-not in Pickwick, but by Dick
ems himself in his Readings: "Jack WiH sing
"chorus-he was born chorus-y, lives cho-
"rus-y, and will die chOrus-y." We are
inclined to draw an equally bold outline of
the ex-EmpcrOr of the French. The Man of
"Sedan" will conspire-he was born con-
spirator, lives q cOnspirator, and will die a
cOnspirator. But. much as we believed in the
Napoleonic love of intrigue, we dreamed not
of its depths until hearing the romance Of
Oscar, the parallel of which it would be diff
cult to find in modern history.
Oscar Lessines, Belgian by birth and adven-
turer by profession, looking about for the
royal road to fortune, sees in Napoleon Ill.,,
who stands on tho top round Of tho ladder
that he desires to mount, tho best means to
the end. Oscar becomes the enthusiastic ad-
mrer of the Nephew of his Uncle. The full
some letters lie writes reach their destination,
and the doors Of the Tuileries are opened to
him. lie is received by Senators, and the
Oscar trembles in the presence Of 70 much
majesty, but, regaining his composure, presents
to Napoleon the throne of Belgium. Does his
imperial host refuse the gift BY no means.
He incidentally remarks that Leopold II. hap
pens to be occupying that particular throne. n
fact treated by Oscar with the contempt it
richly merits. There are ways and means, and
Oscar retires to draw up the plan Of his con-
spiracy, while Napoleon issues orders to n. de
la Gueroniere, the imperial representative at
Brussels, for information concerning bits mu-
ni6cent admirer. NJ. de ID GuGroniere fails to
satisfy tho demands of bis MASTER who re-
CARDS the mysterious Oscar with still greater
favor upon having placed before him eighty

taking it from tho secret funds. In order to
gain the bishops, who -r.,ie the clergy, the
Emperor can obtain papal promise that the
title Of cardinal shall be permanent in Bel
gium. Bishops too old to have ideas are
" satisfied to believe IN God. and will be con.
tented under any government, provided
" they are Left in peace" Such is Oscars
opinion of the princes Of the church. Then

But there, rs everywhere. it is losing rather

uncertainty to the problems of the future.

1t is difficult to satisfy Europe. If we pay no re-
gard to royalty, we have manners; if we give its
representatives. cordial welcome it is proof positive
that we are republicans merely in name. Referring
to our reception Of the Grand Duke Alexis The Lon

carry home at least one absolute impression, which
is that however antimOnarchical the American peo-
pie may be, they have an abundance Of respect
ready to pay to Russian prince" Perhaps ono Of
these days Europe will understand that when Amer.
lea extends hospitality, her whole people are the
hosts and what The Standard calls "ostentatiOn is
nothing more than the great publicity which is a
necessary consequence Of republican entertainment
Queen receives in her palace. People receive in
great thoroughfares and public buildings. If Amer.
lea prepares suites of apartments for its guests while
England's Sovereign allows hers to pay tier own

We are assured and are delighted to learn
that Mr.. James II. Coleman declines any
longer to be Barnards "Gratz,' and has re-
fused tho reference which that Judge lately,
in characteristic defiance of dcccncy and OF
public opinion, Ostentatiously sent him. lie
has also, it is said, written his friend on the
bench, urging him for the sake of his "Gratz,'
if not for his own reputation, to send him no
more cases which lead to compromise
both the Referee and the Judge in the opinion
of their professional brethren. 1t is high time
this consideration was presented to several other
Judges and Referees We ought to add in
Justice to Mr.. Coleman that he has kindly
rendered us through a friend an examination
of his books with view to making list OF
his reference cases, and has assured us that
he has never made more than $4,000 out OF
the business which Judge Barnard has thrust
upon him. We have declined this cour-
tesy with thanks, having already compiled
from the official records full list of
the cases of the three most notorious
Gratzesr-Messrs. Coleman, Ingraham, jr.,
and Nathan. We wish to disclaim, in reveal
ing the operations of these three favorites of
our three most notorious Judges. any personal
animosity to any individual. We believe the
Reference system has grown into great and
alarming abuse, and it is that corruption which

tend the wrong are hurt by the blows directed
against it, surely they alone are to blame.
