The unfortunate state of affairs 10
France appeals strongly to the sympathy
Of all mankind. Emerging from fierce.
bloody and devastating conflict with Ger
many. it is plunged into all the horrors Of
civil war.
At the close of the struggle with Prus-
sia, when the election of the constitution
al assembly was held and Theirs made
President of the Republic, we had bright
hopes for the future of France. The
prospect was very fair for the peaceful
establishment of republican institutions
upon the ruins of an effete monarchy
But the acts Of the new government did
not find favor in the sight of the ultra
radicals, those hot-headed mischief max
ers known as the "Reds, a set of i'm
practicable, visionary theorists who have
ever been the curse of France. and they
Immediately organized government of
their own and elected members to a body
which is called the Commune" This
communist faction was really warmed in
to life by the disaffeclion Of the National
Guards. who. retaining heir arms after
he..cessation of hOstilI,ies with Prussia.
openly resisted the establishment Of the
Theirs government. The Reds" taking
advantage of this and infaming the Par
lie mob secured possession of the city aud
some of the adjacent Notifications. and
oPerly resisted the authority Of the As
sembly.
The Assembly holds it sessions at Yer
sailles, and the Commune meets in Paris.
At present the army of the Assembly is
bessiging Paris, and the Communists are
making desperate resistance. At last
accounts bloody and decisive conflct is
imminent All efforts TO COMPROMISE
have failed, and the only way left TO Sc
cure pesce is to fight until one party or
the other is completely wiped out We
are among those who hope the Commu-
mist faction. with lie crimes and excuses,
will 60 down in the CO.; fict, and the new
republican government of France, with
Theirs as its first President, be firmly fix
ed upon the foundations of Liberty and
Law.

Congress adjourned on the goth inst
About forty bills of general or loca
character have been passed this session,
she most important of which IS the fam
GUS Ku KIux bill which ex;ites the wrath
Of our democratic friends to such an
alarming extent. The bill is to give to
peaceful AM unoffending Union men both
black and white the direct protection OF
the strong arm of the government against
the Eanton outrages committed on them
by Ku Klux horde of assassins. When
ever there may be necessity for such a
measure We hope to see it rigidly en-
forced.

and called for him to come ont. When

Negotiations which have been in prog
ress in his city for several days past
we're concluded on friday, and the papers
to the contract were formally signed. by
which Mr.. Henry Anes, of ST. Paul
representing the Lake Superior IL Miss
issippi Railroad, has chartered of John
Robson, of this city, the powerful tow
boat Imperial, of the Red Line. and six
barges, to run in the grain trade from
Winona, carving wheat and other grain
to ST Paul and Saltwater, to be ship
ped thence over the Lake Superior IL
Mississippi Railroad to Duluth aud thence
by the Lakes 10 the East. The contract
is TO 90 into effect between the 9th
and goth of Nav. In the meantime an
elevator is to be constructed at Saltwater,
SO when the water is too low TO permit
the Imperia to 90 to St. Paul she will
run directly to Saltwater and unload.
1t is plain to see that this move is to
be of incalcuiable benefit TO the producers
Of Minnesota, giving AS it does greal
northern competing route for freight to
and from the East. 1t will inaugurate
at once spirited competition betwee he
great routes which have heretofore reap
ed rich harvest from the trade of Min
nesota, and the new candidate for favor
which IS backed by the powerful inter-
ests CT the Pennsylvania Central. 1t is
the dawn of new and promising era for
Winona and the State at large, and will
show it at once in the saving of thou
sands of dollars in freights on the grain
which yet remains TO he moved before
the new crop comes forward.
