The Cable News from France.

1t is announced that the negotiations be-
tween Versailles and Berlin for the complete
evacuation of France have led to successful
result. All the German troops will have
left French territory before the end Of
the present year. The people Of France
will be supremacy glad to be rid of the
CALLING presence Of their conquerors, and
NJ Theirs has done we'll to make some
concessions in order to attain this end. The
feeling of the French toward their victors has
been well expressed in one of the caricatures
Of ChdrioGrt, where German is represented
bidding adieu to wounded French soldier.
mot adieu," says the latter, ''but an recoir.
Such visits are always returned 1t Is
certainly with the view of returning one
day the compliment of the German visit In
France that he advocates large ornaments
and the maintenance of an effective force of
five hundred thousand men. Theirs is a
diplomatist of the old school; he be-
lieves in the balance of power and
in Machiavelli's system of craftsmanship.
AS patriotic Frenchman he also desires to
see Alsace and Lorraine yet restored in his
lifetime. Hence the alleged alliance of France
with Russia and the maintenance Of so large
an army.
In the National Assembly motion was
submitted that the Councils General should
be spontaneously assembled in case OF
the overthrow of the government. The pro-
position will probably be rejected, but it does
not argue well for the stability of the present
government that such notion should ever
have been possible. There can be no doubt
| that NJ Theirs will be elected President for
another term. The question now remains
whether his powers are to be pro-
longed for two years or three years.
| According to our despatch M. Theirs
is no longer in the good graces Of the party Of
the Right, which is only inclined to extend
his powers over period Of two years; byl
there seems to be considerable majority in
| favor of the longer term.

The BALLOT BILL, or the bill lately passed
by the House of Commons to establish the
American system of voting by ballot in the
British islands, has been defeated in ''the
Lords" by majority of forty-nine. This
makes it necessary for the Commons to try it
again, and yet again and again, II required, to
bring ''the Lords to a concurrence. The
measure is good, it is popular and it is a pro-
gressive measure and it will be fought
through 'the Lords" They think it bad
beginning but If they continue intractable
they will next discover that ''worse remains
behind" II is perfectly natural that they
should stoutly contest every encroachment
upon their old feudal rights and usages but
the ''irrepressible conflict is fairly under
way, and those old feudal institutions of Eng
land are bound 10 go. The full blaze of the
nineteenth century Is upon them, and they
cannot survive ii much longer.

ONE OF THE FULTON FERRYBoATs now
running regularly has frame hanging up in
the ladies' cabin intended for the inspection
certificate, but there is no certificate In it.
Why Is thisf The bare back board Of the
frame is impudently exposed to all passengers,
as If the company meant to say, "We have no
certificate, or at least no good one, and we
don't care ifyOu know it," Are the ferryboats
allowed to run without certificate, and are
they not compelled by law to place cert-
Gcate where the passengers can see it?

SECRETARY boutwell, has given notice that
arrangements have been made for the disposal
OF the remainder Of his bonds offered in Feb
ruary last--bcing about one hundred and thirty
million dolars-subject to the condition that
within sixty days the national banks shall have
the privilege of subscribing in sum or sums
to an amount not exceeding fifty million dol
lars. Meantime the designated agents for the
sale of the aforesaid bonds are limited to the
sale Of eqnal amounts of the four and half
and five per cent bonds, or equal amounts of
four and five per cent bonds. So it will be
seen that the national Treasury goes on swim
mingly.

The HOUSE OF LORDS has not yet done

its demand of indemnity now that the
American government has granted an am
cannot exactly see what the legitimate
demand of the United States for the depreda-
tons of the Alabama has to do with the am

Lord Redesdale has not explained the conncc-
ton. Earl Granviles reply to the noble
Lords explanation is simply truism, and for
such it was probably intepded.
