ing argument in favor of pushing forward with
the utmost rapidity the new steamship project.

its way to Philadelphia direct as soon as there
is an opportunity for it to do so.

Civil War in France.

France Is in the throes of a bloody civil war.
The Theirs government, after long hesitation
and dlliy-dalying, finally determined to make
an attack on Paris. The insurgents, advised
OF this purpose, decided to march out on Mon
day, attack Versailles and dispense the assem-.
bly,, thus ending the Theirs government. At
DAN. on Monday 100000 nationals (insur.
gents, in three corps, with 200 guns, marched
out of Paris via Issy and Reuil, destined for
Versailles. Coming within reach of Mount
waterman, that fort Unexpectedly opened fire
on them. This threw the nationals into con-
fusion, and the government forces coming up.

their generals Henri and Flourens were killed
and corps of $4,000 under Bergcret was cut

peace. The nationals are mastering within
the city for another conflict, and there is no
estimating when the strife will end.

The Penitentiary swiudle.

For concern incsrably gangrened and cor
rupt, commend as to the Illinois penitentiary.
Other institutions in our state, when injected
with the virus Of peculation, have been found
vulnerable to the assaults of investigating
committees, and their disorders capable OF
amelioration. But no investigating committee
has been able to cross the threshold Of the
penitentiary without becoming tainted with
its rottonness. Early in the present session of
the legislature committee was appointed to
overhaul that sinking carcass That it was
covered all over with corruption was evident
enough from the fact that, while up to 1867
the penitentiary had been we'll managed and
never cost the state cent for its maintenance,
for the last fsur years it has cost the state full
two millions Of dollars. But Legislative
committee, after spending two days within its
walls, were found wholly averse to prosecu-
ting an investigation. The legislature became
indignant, and passed resolution unanimous
ly peremptorlly ordering the committee to pro-
coed with their investigation, but it was of NO
avail. The democratic members of the COM
mittee, with the chairman, republican, but
who happens to be an honest man, met day
after day, but the republican members, who
constituted the majority, steadily refused to
meet, and so a thorough investigation was
frustrated
Then plan was proposed to cure the dog
by cutting off his tail behind his ears"
through the acceptance Of the offer made by
two different responsible private parties, to
take the penitentiary off the hands of the
state and run it for ten years, giving abundant
security that it should not cost the state cent.
But the acceptance of this offer would be
equivalent to cutting off about half million
dollars year Of splendid radical steangs
and Of course as honest and ''loyal" a legisla.
ture as the present could not entertain the pro.
ject for moment. So, instead of adopting
so simple, feasible and common sense plan
of putting stop to the stupendous penitenti-
airy steal, the legislature is trying to amuse
and gull the people by passing bill, full of
high sounding phrases about reform" strict
accountability" and all that sort of fustan,
but substantially continuing the corrupt sys.
tenn that has prevailed tor the last four wears.
There will be no check to the half million a
year penitentiary steal until We get an out
and-out democratic legislature.
