Ready Wade Cnr.

In the natural growth of cities, population is
the FIRST requisite. The public works of con-
venience and utility that make city life so differ
ent from that in country village-pavement
sidewalks, water-works, sewers, gaslights, and
public parks-foIlow, one by one, as they are
imperiously demanded by the necessities of a
crowded population. But our countrymcn in
the west are not always content to follow estab-
lished rules; and it appears that ready-made
cities are 10 be had there by those who are
too impatient TO await their development
by the ordinary process. Riverside, near
Chicago, was not much more than a
year ago barren waste. Some capitalists de-
termined to make towR there, and accordingly
laid out its streets, squares and parks, had the
streets constructed in the same solid, smooth
and enduring manner as are those of Central
park, New York, sewer, gas -and water pipes
laid, the gas works and water works built, and
all in the most thorough manner and on the
most liberal scale for the convenience of pop
ulation of ten thousand, before single house
was built Or single person secured as an in
habitant
There are obvious advantages in this method
of city building. The beauty and harmony Sc
cured by the faithful execution Of an intelligent
plan, the avoidance of the waste, which is often
caused by the necessity of undoing what has at
first been done inadequately or without
sufficient foresight, and of doing, at great ex-
pense and with great damage to existing bust
ness interests, what might have been done
cheaply and easily at first, are some of these Ii
is, of course, essential to the ultimate sue,
cess of the undertaking that the projectors
should be sure of getting their population
when they are ready for it. In thi;
case there was no difficulty of that
kind. Riverside is within easy distance
of Chicago, it has good railroad facilities, and
the completeness Of all its arrangements for the
comfort and convenience of its citizens makes il
most desirable suburban residence. Already
many elegant dwellings have been built there,
stores are opened, good school is in operation,
church and Sunday school are organized aud
growing vigorously, and the projectors are
beginning to see their way TO handsome re-
turn for their liberal expenditure.

The ChorpennIng claim Again,

II is not SO easy as one might suppose to de-
feat fraudulent scheme which has so much
money in it as the Chorpenning claim. 1t is
natural to suppose that the only chance for sue
cess in this impudent attempt at wholesale rob-
berry lay in keeping its nature and history care
fully concealed; that the passage of the OBJ
noxious resolution at the last session was due
only to the beedlessness of members and their
too ready confidence in the assurances of those
who were interested in pushing it through con-
gress. Everybody supposed that the exposure
made by Mr.. Dawes, the other day, gave it a
death-blow. from which no nursing or stimu-
lents could enable it to recover. Those who
thought SO, however, greatly undcrrated tic
resources Of the lobbyists who have 1t in charge.
Ihey have no doubt undertaken great many
cases, apparently quite as hopeless, and have
found that skill aud patience, and ingenuity in
turning to advantage all the elements of the
situation, will sometimes accomplish things
deemed impossible

The dispatches tell us that, in England, there
is ga general feeling of dismay and anger,
reused by the conditions of peace proposed by
the Germans to the French. This may be true,
and il may be somebody's fancy. The terms
proposed are substantially what was expected I;
therefore, at first thought, 1t is not easy to see
why England should suddenly fall into convul-
sions, on hearing them stated. But a more
careful examination suggests an explanation.
The Germans require the French 10 cede to
them the unimportant French settlement in
India, known as Pondchery. This settlement,
which is on the Coromandel coast of Hindustan,
has about $4,000 acres of land, and, probably,
about $4,000 inhabitants, native and foreign.
The land is not very fertile, and the district has
no harbor, nothing but an open roadstead.
Pondichery is comparatively Of so little impor.
lance, that we seldom hear of it, and many per-
sons may not have been aware that the French
still retain such a settlement in Hindustan.
Their important possessions are further east.
But, Pondichery, in the hands of the Germans
might become still more important. At any rate,
1t would bring the Germans into Hindustan,
and this is sufficient to fill England with "dis-
may and anger.
The French have not been successful coloniz-
ers. The Germans would be more effective, in
this respect, and might extend their Indian pos
sessions in such manner as to give the English
some nneasiness; and, as Great Britain may not
be able to maintain "forever" her present con-
troll of India, she might live in fear of seeing it
supplanted by German influence, should Ger
many get possession of that little colony of the
French. Therefore, ii would not be surprising
if the report of agitation in England should
prove TO be correct. With the Russians in
Turkestan, pressing down towards India, and
the Germans operating from Pondchery, the
English would naturally become apprehensive
and uncomfortable. If the reported "dismay
and anger" really exist, they must be due en-
tirely to the fear of having the Germans instead
of the French at Pondichery.

aATuRDAY. FEHRUARy L. 1871,


We have a very curious illustration of the
"repubc" which has been declared in France
in the decree" limiting the qualifications for
membership in the constituent assembly. This
decree ordains that men who are connected with
certain families, or who have held certain
offices under the empire, shall not be eligible,
and therefore must not be elected. This is the
order of the provisional government, which,
though self-constituted, undertakes to repeal
and make laws by means Of a decree, The aim
is to deprive the 0rleanists and Bonapartists of
influence in the assembly; but it is no less
grave and inexcusable usurpaton of power,
which the assembly itself may disregard. 1t is
not easy to know who will control the coustltu-
ent assembly or what 1t will do. The contend
ing parties are strong enough to embarrass each
other. That decree of the provisional govern
ment indicates that the men who control that
government, do not believe they can succeed by
fair means, and that they do fear both the Or
leanists and the Bonapartists. 1t does not indi-
cafe that they really comprehend the true sig
nifcance of the words liberty" and republic"

There seems TO be no limit to the arrogance of
Gambetta and bis self-appointed colleagues. To
their assumption of the provisional government,
giving it the name, though it had none of the
substantial features of republic there was
some excuse in the absence of any recognized
government and the difficulties in the way of
forming new one by the cooperation of the
whole people. But now that general election
is to be held and a constituent assembly con-
vened, it is INDUSTRIOUS in these men TO assume
to decide who shall be eligible to office, to die
tate 10 the people whom they may choose as
their representatives, as Gambetta presumes to
do in his proclamation, excluding certain classes
of people from the constituent assembly Of
course, this impertinence will not deter the peo-
pie of France from choosing such representa-
tives as they wish, even though some of
them may belong TO the prescribed classes. NJ.
Favre indeed is reported to have repudiated for
himself and his colleagues in the provisional
government, any authority to prescribe qualif-
cations of electors or candidates. Nothing
shows more clearly than this proclamation of
Gambetta, how impossible it is for him and
those'of his way of thinking, even to compre-
bend the nature of a republican government.
Without the pretence of authority derived from
any more legitimate source than his own will,
he presumes to dictate to the whole people in
their primary capacity, how they shall exercise
their most fundamental rights. Imperialism
could not go further than this.

1t is useless for State Legislatures to pass laws for

main a dead letter.
There is scarcely an adult member of the commune

testimony in favor of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters fur

effects of malaria and impure water, and that it i'm
parts degree of vigor and activity to the vital
forces which is not communicated by any other
