Within nine miles Of the capital Of

Is made upon mail train and an agent
of the general postoffice department is
assailed by outlaws. II is not much to
the purpose to observe that the agent has
done no i'll, but is most inoffensiye per

has given entire satisfaction to the peo-
ple. The fact would admit of no excuse
Il the conditions were exactly reversed
II stands as Notifying reproach to

invitation to the Federal Government
That il will be seized with ayidity, that 1t

held by the most ultra radicalism, can
not be doubted by any intelligent man,
The Courier-Journal is right. That
sort of thing is just what the new SMELL

Tuesday Evening, Jan. 81, 1871.
THE PLACE.

Editors are not presumed to possess
more prophetic vim than other men OF
equal capacity, and the public will not
therefore. tie on to them in matters
concerning which its opportunity OF
forming opinions is quite as good as
theirs. Concerning the recent events
in France, any man who has read the
dispatches knows about as much on the
subject as any other man who has read
them. Each will make his deductions
and arrive at his own conclusions.
There is question as to whether France,
after the fall Of Paris, will continue to
resist, and upon the solution OF that
question hang most vital interests. 1t
is boasted that she has nine hundred
thousand men exclusive of the army OF
Paris, either now under arms, or can be
nut under arms, and that with this army
the war will be carried on. Perhaps II
the people were united, resistance might
be prolonged indefinitely, but they are
not united. Suppose the republican
government arrange terms OF peace.
Will not the whole strength OF
the republic be thrown against further
resistance? Would not its armies CO.
operate with those of Prussia in putting
down resistance ? Divided into parties
and factions, as France now is, and
weakened and desolated as she is known.
to be, any further struggle with Prussia
would possess neither the spirit nor the
proportions of war. 1t would be the
expiring throe of a faction condemned at
home and abroad, and universally de-
nounced as guilty, if not of crime,
certainly of monstrous folly. 1t does
not matter in whose interest terms OF
peace are adjusted, whether in the in
terest of the republic or of the Prince
Imperial, or of anybody else-the unity
of France is destroyed. Government In
fact, whether popular or not, draws to
itself power, because it Yields power.
And So any government that may be
set up and sustained by the arms of
Prussia will make short work of re-
sistance. The war is ended There
can be no further resistance that
can promise success. Certainly there
cannot exist in The mind of the most en-
