Compliments Of the Season.

The resolution passed by our Legislature
complimentary to Fernando Wood, Repre-
sentative in Congress from the New York
Ninth district, for his efforts i'm securing the
passage Of the bill to repeal the coal duty, is
suggestive. No doubt several other members
from this city, especially Sam Cox, who has
been pegging away in the same direction for a
long time, without success, would have been
delighted to have obtained the honor but Cox,
smart as he is, was not smart enough to bring
the required parliamentary tactics to bear to
win the point Here the superior parla-
mentary knowledge of Mr.. Wood had fine
opportunity to display itself, and in the opera
tion Ben Butler became bewidered and lost
his presence of mind and his right to the floor
at the same time. This little piece of parla-
mentary finesse on the part of Mr.. Wood, not
taking into account his long and valuable Con-
gressional experience, entities him to the
position of leader as we'll as Mentor of the
New York delegation to the first session of
the Forty y-second Congress, which assemblies
to-morrow--if not the leader of the entire
recuperated democracy in the House. The
democratic Legislature of New York has acted
wisely in complimenting Mr.. Wood as it has.
1t no doubt will have an inspiring effect upon
him of the grand old "white mustache"
personally.

| Paris and the restoration of the mild and
pacific monarchy of Louis Philippe, of which
Thiers was the favorite Minister and champion.
Bat supposing the Orleanists are recalled, and
that their government, as an experiment, is
ratified in pIe5iscite, how long will it last
under the pressure of the taxes required to
repair the ravages of this war and to meet
this indemnity of thousand millions whic
must be paid to Germany?
Here will be the great danger to France in
the opportunity to ''the reds" for revolutionary
movements and excitements. The taxes of
the late empire, in connection with the
resources of France, were light compared
with the taxation that will be required to meet
tae financial necessities aud obligations result
ing from this war. The Bonapartes have
established one thing, at least, in the govern
ment OF France which cannot safely be set
asiae-the submission Of the government to a
pte6tscite The present National Assembly
was elected under the terrorism of hostile
army in possession of the French capital, and
with the armies of France rendered powerless
--- @"S'A AS"'y otiCaIo. w iiu VIC TctlTS-
ment of the Germans and the return home of
the French armies from their enforced exile
we cannot tell what the prevailing party in a
new National Assembly, or regular Legisa-
ture of two branches, will be. We think it
likely that NJ. Theirs will be in no particular
hurry in calling for new election; but that
he will contrive to keep the present Assembly
occupied upon new constitution, and in
providing for the immediate necessities of the
French people, until the present political
chaos in France shall have settled down into
something like order and resignation to 'tixed
facts" And it is in this view that we hope
for the transition of France to new govern
ment and new policy of peace so quietly and
with such decorum as to prove that the old
revolutionary spirit of the Jacobins and their
denominations have entirely passed away, and
that the French people can still challenge the
applause of mankind by proving themselves
superior to their misfortunes, and by still
holding the front OF European civilization in
the triumphs of peace.
